Xu Xia's cafe is quite famous in the small town, and many people recognize him. Every night when I saw him walking down the street with a pregnant woman with a big belly, I thought they were a couple.
As time went by, the incident reached the ears of his parents. They became anxious when they heard this, and sneaked into Xu Xia's den to make a surprise attack, but no one noticed, and found a bunch of recipes for pregnant women.
Based on this clue, they called Xu Xia home for questioning.
Xu Xia dared to admit it in front of others, but she lied to her parents. Because all parents are the same in the world, they will do anything for their children, and he is afraid that they will run to trouble Mencius He. Mencius has a big belly, it's not easy to be alone, parents go to make trouble, don't make trouble for others!
Seeing that Xu Xia didn't admit it, Xu's father and Xu's mother were a little uncertain. Xu Xia was an honest child since he was a child. If he said no, then maybe he wasn't.
But not long after, the neighbor Aunt Wang accompanied her daughter-in-law to the prenatal checkup, and happened to meet Xu Xia, and she was puzzled. She hadn't heard that Xu Xia was married, so why was she accompanying a woman to the prenatal checkup? She thought it was the young couple planning to give birth. After having children and then getting married, I went to Xu Xia's house to say congratulations when I got home.
Aunt Wang is an old neighbor for many years and a colleague in the same unit, so it is impossible to talk nonsense, Xu's father and Xu mother couldn't sit still, so they went directly to the cafe to ask Xu Xia for clarification. As a result, I really saw a beautiful woman with a big belly there.
When Xu Xia met Aunt Wang in the hospital in the morning, she knew that this matter was going to be messed up. When she saw her parents coming, she hurriedly took them to the small warehouse to talk.
Mother Xu's expression was serious: "Tell me, what's going on? Is the child yours?"
"No, no, don't get me wrong, the child has nothing to do with me." Xu Xia had no choice but to tell the truth.
Xu's mother couldn't hold back anymore: "You said she disagreed? She was pregnant with someone else's child, and still didn't agree? Why should she..."
Dad Xu interrupted her: "That's not the point, let's talk about the point."
Xu's mother came to her senses, "Yes, let's get to the point, Xu Xia, your father and I disagree with this matter. How can you marry an unmarried mother when you are young?"
"Mom, Dad, don't worry," Xu Xia said, "She didn't agree."
"It's okay if she doesn't agree, you can't have such a thought." Xu Ma said it quite sadly: "I raised you so much, and I haven't seen you put so much effort into making delicious food for me, but serve others first." .”
"She's here alone and doesn't know her place well. She's still pregnant. She's pitiful. I'll help as much as I can. Anyway, she can't be a couple, but she's still a friend."
Xu's father said: "If she doesn't have a big belly, she's okay, she's pretty."
Xu's mother gave him a blank look: "Is marrying a daughter-in-law based on appearance? It depends on whether she is virtuous or not."
"I think she's quite virtuous," Xu Xia said, "She helps out here every day and does what she can, and she's not squeamish at all.
Dad Xu nodded: "That's okay, what does her family do?"
"Her family is by the sea, her father is a university professor, and her mother works in a bank."
Dad Xu nodded again: "The conditions are pretty good, what kind of job did she use to do?"
Seeing the father and son, Xu's mother was so angry that she would vomit blood, especially the dead old man. If she asked her to talk about the main point, she would be off topic. Didn't they come here to ask if this is okay
"Don't say these things are useless," Xu's mother gave Xu's father a look: "She is pregnant, is she planning to marry your son to an unmarried mother? When the wedding is held, can you hold your head high in front of relatives and friends? "
When she roared, Dad Xu fell silent.
Xu Xia is still the same old saying: "I told you not to worry, she disagrees, I can't marry her."
"As far as her condition is still not agreed, I really don't know why?" Xu's mother was so angry that she muttered.
Xu Xia looked amused: "Why don't you come forward to persuade her and see if she agrees?"
"Stinky boy, your mother is still not old-fashioned!" Xu's mother hit her son. "Are you going to waste like this? No, my son can't be a stepfather. Mom asked someone to find you a good one."
"Don't, I'm in charge of my affairs, don't worry about it."
"Why worry about it, I'm your mother."
"Will the daughter-in-law marry and come home with me, or with you?"
"You..." Mother Xu was so angry that she couldn't speak, pointing at her son: "Anyway, she won't even want to enter our house."
Xu Xia snorted: "That has to be approved by her."
They couldn't agree, so they broke up unhappy. In fact, Xu Xia has always listened to his parents. When his parents told him not to learn to sing, he stopped learning. They asked him to study computer science, and he listened. They asked him to quit his job and go home to recuperate. But he has his own bottom line, for example: he refuses to show his face, and he refuses to give up on Mencius He. As long as it is something he believes, he will go all the way to the dark.
Before leaving, Xu's mother was so angry that she didn't care about him, but how could she really ignore him? When I got home, I decided with Father Xu and went to Mencius He's house in person.
Mencius He's address and her general life pattern were all obtained from Ren Dandan, and Ren Dandan also said a lot of good things about Mencius He. He also said that if Mencius He and Xu Xia got married, as soon as the child fell to the ground, they could hold their big fat grandson. Mother Xu felt that this little girl was lacking in heart, so she would let her be a stepmother as soon as she got married, would she be willing
On a sunny morning, Mother Xu made a pot of chicken soup and went to Mencius He's house with Father Xu.
As soon as Mencius opened the door, he saw two old men standing outside, and he couldn't help being stunned: "May I ask who are you looking for?"
Father Xu smiled and said, "We are Xu Xia's parents."
Mencius He's heart skipped a beat, and he turned sideways to let the two old people in.
Although Xu's mother didn't have a smile on her face, her tone was good, "It's the first time I came here, and I didn't know what to bring, so I made some soup and got up early in the morning to simmer the chicken on the fire for more than two hours. , the thickness is just right, drink it while it's hot."
Mencius was astonished and flattered: "Auntie, you are too polite. I am sorry to trouble you like this."
"Xu Xia said that it is inconvenient for you to live alone. If you can help me out, this child has a good heart, so I don't see others in trouble. From now on, if you want to eat, your aunt will make it for you, so don't let Xu Xia mess it up. , His cooking skills are average, and the food he makes may not be delicious."
Mencius He had already guessed their purpose in his heart, and when he heard what Xu Mama said, he smiled slightly: "Auntie, I also mean the same thing. Uncle and Auntie's family education is really good. Xu Xia is polite, kind-hearted, loves to help others, is honest and kind. Down-to-earth and responsible, there are not many young people like this now. I actually told him not to worry about those things, but he didn’t listen. He mentioned it to the cafe when it was finished, or sent it home. I I'm really sorry, if my uncle and aunt can persuade him, that would be great."
Father Xu nodded slightly. It seems reasonable for this girl to say such a thing.
Xu's mother is not unreasonable, and she can see that Mencius is easy to talk, so she cut to the chase: "Miss Meng, if we can persuade him, we won't come here today. Xu Xia told us that he likes You, I want to marry you. You are beautiful and reasonable. We have no prejudice against you, but after all, people are awesome. We are locals and have many relatives and friends, so... "
"Auntie, I understand how you and uncle feel. I don't know if Xu Xia has told you, but I have made it clear to him that I will not marry him. So don't worry, uncle and auntie, what you are worried about is not It will happen."
"We know that you are a good girl, the key is that bastard," Xu's mother sighed, "He's going to be sure, even nine cows can't be pulled back, so what we're here is..." Xu Mom paused for a moment before saying, "I hope Miss Meng can think of some way to make him give up."
Mencius He looked at the thermos bottle containing chicken soup, pondered for a moment, and said, "I understand what Uncle and Aunt mean. Please rest assured, I will make him give up."
Xu's mother was overjoyed, she held Mencius He's hand and said, "With your words, Auntie will be relieved, thank you for understanding me and his father."
Mencius He smiled and said: "This is human nature. If it was my child, I would do the same."
When Xu Xia's parents came out of Mencius He's house, they both felt much more relaxed.
Father Xu said: "I didn't expect that this girl is not only beautiful, but also quite reasonable."
"That's right," Xu's mother also said, "It's a pity that we have a child, otherwise she would be pretty good as our daughter-in-law. We have blind dated Xu Xia so many times, but he didn't like any of them. It was hard to fall in love with Meng Meng. Miss, it's this situation again, it's really... hey!"
"I don't know how Ms. Meng will think of a way to make Xu Xia give up," Xu's father said, "Our son will not give up easily on what he believes."
"I think Miss Meng is very determined, I believe she will find a way."
Everything that Xu Xia has done for herself, every bit by bit, Mencius has noticed, sang for her, made cakes for her, cooked meals for her pregnant women, accompanied her to check-ups, sent her home... the more he did, Mencius He felt overwhelmed, in her heart, Xu Xia and Chen Hua were different, he was too perfect, she was not good enough for him.
Unexpectedly, even his parents were alarmed now, Mencius felt very sorry, Xu Xia took good care of her, she knew it was wrong, but she didn't push him away forcefully. It was her silence that gave Xu Xia hope and made him sink deeper and deeper.
Now is the time to cut it all off.
She packed her luggage, bought a train ticket, and planned to fly away.
Get ready, she went to the cafe for the last time, Ren Dandan was alone in the shop, seeing her coming, a little surprised: "Why did you come so early today?"
Mencius He said: "Wake up early, so go out early, what about them?"
"Xu Xia and Jiang Kaicheng have gone to stock up, and they may come back in the afternoon," Ren Dandan said with a smile, "But your nutritious meal, Xu Xia, was prepared early in the morning. Before leaving, I asked me to heat it up for you at noon. Sister Meng, Xu Xia really has nothing to say to you, in the future I will also follow Xu Xia's standards to find a boyfriend."
"Xu Xia is indeed very good." Mencius He smiled, looking at the slanting sunlight coming in from the window, feeling rather melancholy: "Unfortunately, I am not good enough for him."
