Chapter 390 The Second Visit
Xia Miao's father was stunned for a moment: "Then live here, there is room at home anyway."
Xia Miao insisted on not giving him the wine glass: "No, He Shu is still taking Chinese medicine, he has to avoid eating and drinking."
"Drinking Chinese medicine?" Xia Miao's mother asked quickly, "Are you sick?"
Then he kept looking at He Shu, as if he wanted to see what was wrong with him?
He Shu was a little embarrassed: "No, just some medicine to replenish the body."
Xia Miao's mother glanced at He Shu again and said with a smile, "It's rare to find a skilled Chinese medicine practitioner nowadays. Is the doctor you see reliable? Medicines are three-quarters toxic, so you can't just take them casually."
"Yes, my uncle helped me find it. He is quite famous in Dadu."
"That's good. I see you're a little thinner than the last time you came home. Is your spleen and stomach not in good condition?"
He Shu nodded without further explanation.
"Hey, taking medicine alone won't work. I still have to eat more."
Xia Miao's mother brought the prepared meal to He Shu: "It just so happens that I cooked some yam and pork ribs soup today. Yams are good for the spleen. You should drink more. Food supplements are better than those Chinese medicines."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
Finally, the matter of him taking medicine was over. Xia Miao's father did not force He Shu to drink with him. He just said that they could drink together next time.
The meal went on in a relatively harmonious manner, but perhaps Xia Miao's mother really began to pay attention to He Shu's thinness and kept urging him to eat more.
"Miaomiao went to see the house you were allocated before and took some photos. It looks quite big."
"Well, I didn't expect it to be that big."
"It's pretty good. I was thinking that if it was too small, I would just not bother decorating it and rent it out."
"I won't rent it out anymore. I'll keep it for myself when I return to Danhe."
Xia Miao's mother was really happy. She even said that the place was nice and the house price was good, and that the price would increase in the future.
Xia Miao's father spoke less than last time, probably because no one was drinking with him.
He only drank a small cup and stopped drinking. While eating, he listened to his wife chatting with He Shu.
Xia Miao was no longer chirping like when she was outside. She sat next to He Shu like a little bird, picking up food for him from time to time.
She asked him to try this and that, saying they were her mother's specialties.
Tonight’s meal was made by Xia Miao’s mother, and it tasted very good.
He Shu felt that Xia Miao was really happy. No matter who of her parents cooked, the food was delicious.
But he really couldn't eat any more. The small plate in front of him was piled up with the dishes that Xia Miao and her mother had picked for him.
"I'm stuffed."
As soon as He Shu said this, Xia Miao's mother picked up another piece of pork ribs for him: "What do you mean by full? Eat more. How can a boy eat so little? My Miao Miao sometimes eats two bowls of rice."
Forced to finish all those dishes, He Shu really couldn't eat anymore.
Everyone was almost done. When He Shu saw Xia Miao's mother clearing the table, he quickly stood up to help.
Xia Miao's father came over with a smile and took He Shu's arm: "Tell Miao Miao and her mother to clean up, and we will go over and sit down and talk."
"Is your grandpa in good health? I heard from Miaomiao that she has been to your grandpa's house."
"Well, my grandpa is in good health, and they all like Xia Miao very much."
Xia Miao's father laughed and thought, his daughter is so cute, how could anyone not like her?
However, he also felt that his daughter was a little too proactive. It was nothing, she just went to visit other people's relatives.
But Xia Miao's father had already agreed to Xia Miao and He Shu's relationship, and since he had already gone there, he didn't say anything else.
"House prices in Danhe are getting higher and higher. They must be even more outrageous in Dadu, right?"
He Shu thought about it and shook his head gently: "Uncle, I didn't pay attention to this aspect."
"Oh, it's time to pay attention. According to the current trend, buying two years earlier or two years later will make a big difference."
He Shu thought this meant that he should buy a house in Dadu now?
He turned his head to look at Xia Miao, and heard Xia Miao's father say again: "You two will definitely not come back to work in the future. It is better to stay in Dadu than to return ."
"Even if you two want to move to other cities in the future, buying a house in Dadu in advance can be considered an investment."
He Shu nodded: "Uncle, you are right, I will pay attention to it when I get back."
Xia Miao's father then smiled more happily: "Okay, don't feel pressured. Xia Miao's mother and I have saved some money over the years, and we will definitely help you when the time comes."
This is already stated very straightforwardly. If He Shu can't afford a house in Dadu, the Xia family can help with part of the cost.
Soon Xia Miao came over, wiped her hands with a tissue, and brought the fruit plate to give to He Shu.
He Shu quickly waved his hands. He was so full from dinner that he couldn't eat any more.
After Xia Miao came over, Xia Miao's father didn't mention the house anymore, and instead asked about their studies.
The next school term will be the second semester of my junior year, and I should start thinking about my future plans.
He Shu had said before that he might not start working so soon and would continue to pursue higher education. The Xia family had no objection to this.
To put it bluntly, the family conditions are okay and there is no rush for the children to join the workforce so soon. It is a good thing that they are willing to obtain a higher degree.
After Xia Miao's mother cleaned up the kitchen and came over, they chatted about other things for a while.
Most of them asked about He Shu's grandfather's family, because they also knew that He Shu had no other relatives, and his grandfather's family would definitely have to intervene in his future marriage.
In a blink of an eye, it was eight o'clock in the evening and He Shu left the Xia family.
Xia Miao's parents sent him to the door, and Xia Miao insisted on putting on a cotton jacket to see him downstairs.
As soon as they left Xia Miao's parents' sight, they held hands.
When they got downstairs, He Shu didn't let Xia Miao out of the stairwell: "It's quite cold outside, don't come out."
"Well, drive carefully then."
"good."
After he finished speaking, He Shu didn't move, and Xia Miao didn't leave either.
An ambiguous atmosphere lingered between the two of them. Finally, Xia Miao took the initiative, took two steps forward, and leaned lightly on He Shu's chest.
He Shu also reached out and hugged Xia Miao, and the two stood at the entrance of the building hugging and kissing, reluctant to leave.
There seemed to be an extreme desire in his heart, which made He Shu hug Xia Miao tightly, wishing he could rub her into his body.
It was not until Xia Miao's mother felt that Xia Miao had taken too long to send He Shu off and called her that the two woke up and separated.
"I want to go back." Xia Miao's heart was pounding. She was as shy as she was passionate just now. She didn't even dare to look at He Shu.
He Shu pursed his lips, and a hint of sweet fruity flavor lingered on his lips, which was the smell of the orange that Xia Miao had just eaten.
"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow?"
"Well, let's go directly to the new house? The furniture will be delivered."
"good…"
The two agreed on a time and had to leave no matter how reluctant they were. He Shu asked Xia Miao to go upstairs first, and Xia Miao asked He Shu to go first.
No one could take that step, and then both of them couldn't help but laugh. If this continued, no one would be able to return home.
