Chapter 90 We are obedient
A four-day holiday is really short. Excluding the two days on the road, you only stay at home for two days.
On the morning of the last day off, He Shu and Xia Miao agreed to meet at the airport.
When Zhao Qishui drove He Shu to the airport, Xia Miao's family had already arrived.
Xia Miao's parents were both there. They hadn't gone in yet, but were waiting for He Shu and the others in the parking lot outside.
Xia Miao went out yesterday, saying she was going to see Teacher Li, but when she came home in the evening she was holding a big bouquet of roses.
Xia Miao's mother finally found out that her daughter was in love and began to interrogate her all night long, while Xia Miao's father pretended to know nothing, fearing that the war would be drawn to himself.
In fact, Xia Miao knew that if she took the flowers home, she would definitely be suspected.
But this was bought for her by He Shu, and she couldn't bear to throw it away.
After much thought, Xia Miao decided to confess to her mother. She would know about this sooner or later anyway.
Xia Miao talked to her mother for a long time, repeatedly assuring her that they had just started dating, and the most excessive behavior was holding hands once.
She didn't dare tell her mother that she had kissed He Shu twice, and both times she was the one who took the initiative.
Xia Miao's mother was surprised at first, then angry, and then helpless.
My daughter has grown up. How can I watch her go to a place as far away as Dadu unless she wants to go with me?
So, today Xia Miao's mother came specially to wait for He Shu, and asked Xia Miao to call He Shu and ask him to come early to avoid missing the plane.
When the two families met, Xia Miao's father shook hands with Zhao Qishui and greeted him.
Xia Miao's mother knew that there was no time for pleasantries, so she called He Shu aside to talk.
Xia Miao wanted to stop it, but Xia Miao's father whispered to her: "You should let your mother talk to He Shu. She is just worried about you. You should also believe that He Shu can handle it."
Hearing her father say this, Xia Miao felt a little relieved.
Zhao Qishui also smiled and didn't care. In his opinion, it was just the mother-in-law asking her son-in-law to have a chat, what could be the problem?
He heard from He Shu last night that the two of them had lunch together, and He Shu even bought a bouquet of red roses for Xia Miao.
This kid is much more sensible than when he was looking for a wife. How can he not succeed?
On the other side, He Shu was a little nervous facing Xia Miao's mother. Seeing her walking forward and getting farther and farther away from the parking lot, he couldn't help but call her "Auntie".
Xia Miao's mother turned around and stopped when she saw that she was some distance away from Xia Miao.
"He Shu, Auntie wants to talk to you about you and Xia Miao."
He Shu hummed: "Auntie, you say."
"As for me, I'm not that kind of unenlightened parent. When you grow up, it's normal for you to fall in love. But you're only a freshman now. Don't you think it's a little early?"
It was the first time that Xia Miao's mother was so close to He Shu. As she spoke, she looked at He Shu. The young man was quite good-looking.
"Auntie heard Xia Miao talk about you. You two have been classmates since junior high school, so you are pretty familiar with each other."
"Auntie, I know something about your family situation. You are also a poor child. Auntie is not biased against the poor and certainly does not mean to despise you. Nowadays , as long as you have the ability and skills, you don't have to worry about not having money in the future."
He Shu agreed with what Xia Miao's mother said, but he didn't know what she wanted to express, so he could only nod and listen carefully.
"I have no objection to you two being friends. This time in the college entrance examination, you and Xia Miao both got top marks in science and arts. What an honor!"
"It's so hard to get into such a good university, you can't spend all your time on other things, right?"
"When you graduate from college and have a stable job, you can talk about other things. By then , Auntie will definitely not object."
He Shu opened his mouth slightly, he understood that Xia Miao's mother didn't allow him to have a relationship with Xia Miao.
"He Shu, promise your aunt that after you go back, you and Xia Miao will study hard. Don't think that you will have nothing to worry about just because you go to Huaqing or Dadu."
"There are many people like you who think that just getting into college is enough. In today's society, the competition is so fierce."
"It's not certain whether you will stay in Dadu or return to Danhe in the future. Auntie is doing this for your own good. After all, you are still young and can't think so much, right?"
He Shu didn't know how to respond. How could he tell Xia Miao's mother in a righteous manner that it would not affect her studies?
He also knew that Xia Miao's mother's concerns were not wrong, and it was useless to argue with her at this time.
He Shu thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, you are right."
Xia Miao’s mother: “……?”
"Auntie, I understand your concerns. I will respect Xia Miao."
"And I also know that I really don't have the ability to guarantee anything right now. Don't worry, I won't affect Xia Miao's studies, and I will study hard myself."
Xia Miao's mother was a little stunned: "What do you mean?"
He Shu continued: "Don't worry, we will be obedient and get along like good friends."
Xia Miao's mother was a little confused for a moment. Did she agree so easily? Aren't young people blind when they fall in love ? Who listens to their parents so much?
At this time , Xia Miao's father came over and called them, and Xia Miao's mother stopped talking to He Shu.
Xia Miao looked at He Shu and his mother coming over. There was no expression on their faces, but she felt a little worried.
"Go in quickly, don't be late for the plane." Xia Miao's father looked at his watch and urged them.
When Xia Miao came back, she only carried a small bag, but when she left, she carried a big box, which was full of seasonal clothes and some snacks bought by Xia Miao's mother.
Xia Miao's parents and Zhao Qishui sent them to the lobby. After seeing them enter the departure lounge, they said goodbye to each other and went home.
As soon as Zhao Qishui left, Xia Miao's father couldn't wait to ask his wife what she had just said to He Shu?
Xia Miao's mother is a hot-tempered person, but she remained silent at this moment.
Xia Miao's father was a little anxious: "You didn't say anything unpleasant, did you? There's nothing wrong with the two children. Don't make a fuss about it. Otherwise, it will force the children to rebel..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. What bad words can I say?"
Xia Miao's mother rolled her eyes at her husband and interrupted him: "Go and drive the car over here quickly. Let me think about it. My mind is a little confused now."
Xia Miao's father frowned slightly. What's going on? He had asked He Shu to go talk to him in a threatening manner, but now he was confused because of the talk.
After Xia Miao's father drove out, Xia Miao's mother sat in the back, leaning back in deep thought.
On the way back, Xia Miao's father was driving while looking at his wife in the rearview mirror. His wife, who had calmed down, seemed like a different person.
"Why."
Xia Miao's mother sighed: "Tell me, this He Shu, why did he agree so readily?"
"Hmm?" Xia Miao's father saw that she wanted to say something and quickly asked, "What did you promise?"
Xia Miao's mother sat up straight and held the back of the seat in front of her.
"I said they were still young and should start dating later. Then he took the initiative to say, Auntie, you're right, let's just get along as good friends."
Xia Miao's mother patted the back of the chair and said, "How come he agreed so readily? Didn't Xia Miao say that they were dating? Just good friends? Could it be that this guy is not sincere to Xia Miao?"
Xia Miao's father: "..."
