Chapter 684: Night Market Again
Old Mrs. He also sat over and looked at the young couple with a kind face. The more she looked, the more she felt that the two children were a good match.
The young couple and the old couple sat together and chatted for a while, and the topics were all about family matters.
For example, they can care about each other's health, and the elderly can ask about the younger generation's work, study, and daily life.
Afterwards, Old Mrs. He talked about the flowers she planted and the birds she raised.
The old man also mentioned the vegetable plot he had fought hard to obtain in the garden, and how well he took care of the vegetables there.
Su Xing, who was a little nervous when he entered the room, gradually relaxed.
She listened carefully to what the old couple said, occasionally answered questions or asked questions, making them happy.
He Xu would occasionally interrupt and respond, and his girlfriend and grandparents were quite satisfied with his answers.
Later, Old Mrs. He took Su Xing and her future granddaughter-in-law to see the flowers she grew.
After looking at the flowers, I took Su Xing to play with the birds.
Su Xing used the tactic of "praising", and he praised her sincerely, which made the old lady smile from ear to ear.
Mr. He is rather reserved and was too embarrassed to take his two grandchildren to visit his vegetable garden.
After Su Xing finished his tour, Mr. He suddenly said, "Some of the vegetables for dinner will be from our garden. Try them. They are definitely more delicious than those bought at the market."
Su Xing's eyes sparkled. "The last time I came here, I felt that some of the vegetables I ate were particularly sweet. Did you grow them too?"
Old Master He couldn't help but raise his lips. "Yes, some are, such as pakchoy and pea pods, all from the vegetable garden. You have a pretty good tongue, girl."
The last time Su Xing came for the first time, Mr. He was too embarrassed to show off his vegetables.
Su Xing curved his eyes and said, "I am now looking forward to the dishes tonight. They must be delicious."
Several people laughed.
Everyone was chatting happily when the sound of a car was heard outside.
There was also the sound of guards greeting.
Soon, someone opened the door and walked in.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm here."
Several people looked over.
When Su Xing looked up, he saw that the person who came in was also a young man in his twenties.
"It's Ah Zhao, why did you suddenly come here?" said Old Mrs. He.
Mr. He also frowned, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back?"
The young man said in disbelief: "My dear grandpa and grandma, I came to see you and I have to report in advance?"
He walked closer and found He Xu and Su Xing.
"Hey, brother is back, this is... my sister-in-law?"
"You're back?" He Xu stood up and greeted the other party, then introduced Su Xing and the other party, "This is a cousin of my third uncle's family, named He Zhao, and this is Su Xing, my girlfriend."
Su Xing stood up, nodded and smiled at the other party, "Hello."
When He Xu introduced his relatives to her, he mentioned He Zhao. She knew that his cousin was currently studying at Renmin University.
"Hello, sister-in-law!" He Zhao greeted Su Xing and said with a smile, "The seafood at my sister-in-law's is especially delicious and can help you live longer!"
"......?" Su Xing was stunned for a moment before he realized that the last time He Xu brought a trunk full of seafood back to Beijing from her grandparents' house, it should be his cousin who picked up the goods at the airport.
She said seriously: "If you like it, I'll ask my grandfather to send some more fresh seafood."
"Uh..." He Zhao scratched his head, "No... I didn't mean that..."
He was just joking, but he didn't expect that his future sister-in-law would actually take it seriously. This made him seem very greedy!
Old Mrs. He reached out and patted He Zhao, saying, "Don't be disrespectful. Go upstairs and play."
"No, you are all downstairs, why should I go upstairs?" He Zhao sat down on the sofa.
Old Mrs. He sighed. This naughty boy didn’t come here often. Why did he suddenly come back today?
He Xu pulled Su Xing and sat down again.
Mr. He looked stern and asked He Zhao, "Aren't you busy at school?"
He Zhao said: "Grandpa, today is the weekend."
He looked at He Xu and Su Xing again and thought: He is not the only one in school.
Old Master He glanced at He Zhao coldly and said nothing more.
He Zhao received his grandfather's cold look and subconsciously sat up straighter.
Su Xing looked at He Xu.
He Xu shook his head gently at her: Don't worry about He Zhao, he's used to showing off, just get used to it.
After a few people exchanged glances, they found a topic to chat for a while.
Su Xing didn't say much to He Zhao, just responded with a few polite words.
He is He Xu's cousin, so she doesn't need to be too warm.
Although He Zhao was a bit lively, he was still relatively sensible. Apart from the joke he made at the beginning, he didn't say anything inappropriate.
At dinner, He Zhao stayed to eat together.
Su Xing couldn't figure out He Zhao's personality, and was afraid of being teased if he ate too much, so he was much more reserved.
He Xu picked up a lot of dishes for Su Xing, and Old Lady He also picked up some food for her. In the end, Su Xing was about 50% full.
After dinner, everyone chatted for a while.
At half past seven, He Xu and Su Xing said goodbye to the old couple of the He family and He Zhao and left the He family's old house.
As soon as He Xu and Su Xing left, He Zhao collapsed on the sofa.
Mr. He shook the newspaper and glanced at him coldly: "You don't know how to stand or sit properly."
He Zhao sat up straight immediately.
Old Mrs. He asked her grandson, "When will you bring a girlfriend back to show us?"
He Zhao was speechless and said, "Grandma, how old am I? Why are you so anxious?"
Old Mrs. He said, "You are not young anymore. You are already 20 years old. When I was your age, your eldest aunt was already born."
Now that she is older, she likes to watch young people in pairs. It makes her feel comfortable.
"Okay!" He Zhao stood up and said, as if surrendering, "I remembered that I have something else to do at school. I'll leave first. Grandpa and grandma, I'll come back to see you two when I have time!"
He fled from the He family's old house.
……
He Xu and Su Xing came out of He's house and went to the night market for a while.
There is a shop selling crayfish which is very popular. The tables inside and outside are filled with customers, and the air is filled with rich aroma of freshness and spicy flavor.
Su Xing couldn't stop drooling.
Just then a table of guests were checking out and leaving.
"It smells delicious, let's try it."
"Okay~"
He Xu pulled his girlfriend and sat over.
An auntie came over and handed them a menu, saying with a smile: "Take a look first and see what you want to eat. I'll clear the table for you first."
"OK, thanks."
The two thanked the aunt and started looking at the menu.
Finally they ordered two servings of crayfish, one spicy and one garlic, and a few side dishes.
Su Xing originally wanted to have some beer, but then she thought that He Xu couldn't drink while driving, and it would be inconvenient for her to drink alone, so she gave up.
A relatively well-known ride-hailing app in China will not launch its designated driver service until July next year.
He Xu was not hungry at all. After the food they ordered was served, he only ate a little symbolically and then helped his girlfriend peel shrimps.
Su Xing looked at her boyfriend with a smile and thought he looked so handsome when he was peeling shrimp seriously.
Su Xing felt a little thirsty while eating. She didn't want to drink mineral water or bottled drinks, so she said to He Xu, "Wait for me for a while. I'll go buy two glasses of juice."
She saw a stall selling freshly squeezed juice not far away.
He Xu said, "You eat, I'll go buy some."
"Your hands are all oily, and you need to wash and wipe them. I'd better go buy it. It's not far, it's right there."
Su Xing pointed to the juice stand not far away.
He Xu glanced back and said, "Okay, then go ahead."
