Xu Lian was still working in the store today. She and Xiang Changkong made an appointment to watch a movie at 3:20 in the afternoon. After watching it, they could just have dinner together. Seeing that the time was almost up, she simply cleaned up, walked downstairs and said to Zhang Guo'er, "I'm going out, you can get off work by yourself at half past six."
"Okay boss, slow down boss!"
Xu Lian glanced at her from a distance, ignoring her bizarre lines, and went straight out to get the car. After she left, Zhang Guoer wrote in her notebook: "The boss is going to go out on a date with my little brother today, and specially changed a gentle bean paste powder lip glaze. It turns out that the boss also has a girl. Heart, ah!"
Xu Lian sat in the car, straightened her hair in the rearview mirror, and was about to drive out of the car when the phone in her bag rang. She thought it was Xiang Changkong, and was still wondering if he had already arrived. She took it out and found that it was her mother who had called.
She picked up the phone and asked suspiciously, "Mom? Is there something wrong?"
Xu Lian's mother's smiling voice came from the receiver: "Daughter, I'm at the airport now, come and pick me up."
"..." Xu Lian paused and asked her, "Which airport are you at?"
"Which airport could it be? City A International Airport."
"...You're back? Where's Dad?"
Xu Lian's mother said: "Your father's project will take several months to complete. I came back alone. Speaking of which, it's not your fault. After your father heard that you were looking for a boyfriend, he rushed me back. , let me take a good look."
Xu Lian: "…"
She was silent for a while, and said to her mother on the other end of the phone, "I see, I'll come and pick you up now."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Lian let out a sigh and called Xiang Changkong.
Xiang Changkong had already arrived at Xingguang Department Store, and when he saw Xu Lian's call, he quickly picked it up: "Xu Lian, are you there yet?"
"Not yet, are you here yet?"
"Well, I just arrived." Xiang Zhangkong said and looked at the time, there was still an hour before the movie started, "It's still early, you can drive over slowly."
Xu Lian said a little apologetically, "I'm sorry, my mother came back suddenly and asked me to pick her up at the airport."
Xiang Changkong was stunned, her mother came back? "It's okay, you go pick up your mother first, we can make an appointment next time."
Xu Lian frowned and thought for a while, then said to him, "Why don't you go directly to my house? My mother came back in a hurry this time, because she made a special trip to see you. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she simply fulfilled her wish. "
"See, see your mother?" The date suddenly turned into meeting the parents, and Xiang Zhangkong was also nervous, "But, but I'm not prepared for anything."
Xu Lian said: "You don't need to prepare anything, it's just as long as you come. Besides, she came back suddenly."
"Having said that, it's not good to go empty-handed..." Xiang Changkong pursed his lips slightly, thinking about bringing something for Xu Lian's mother, "Well, I'm at Starlight Department Store now, I'll go in and buy something, I'll come and find you after I buy it."
"Well..." Xu Lian thought about it and said, "Also, you don't need to buy too expensive things. This time only my mother is back. When my father's project is over, we can have another meal together."
"Well, I know, then I'll go shopping first."
"Okay, see you later." Xu Lian hung up the phone and drove the car towards the airport.
Xingguang Park is built near the airport. If there is no traffic jam, it only takes more than half an hour to get there. Picking up her mother in the parking lot, she opened the trunk and put her luggage in: "You brought so much stuff? Are you planning to go back?"
Xu Lian's mother said, "These are the souvenirs your dad brought you. He's afraid you won't be able to eat them."
"..." She closed the trunk and said to her mother, "Get in the car."
After driving on the airport expressway, Xu Lian complained to her mother, "Are you in such a hurry? I've only been with someone for a few days, so you all rush back to see them."
Xu Lian's mother snorted: "Tell your father this, you think I want to come back, how comfortable it is for me to stay abroad." She said this again, and turned her head to look at Xu who was driving Lian, "But you also need to understand your father's mood. People of your age are looking for a partner for marriage. You haven't talked to a boyfriend since you were a child, and now a marriage partner suddenly appears. , can he not be nervous?"
"Okay, okay, I have an appointment with him anyway, I'll let you meet today."
When Xu Lian said this, her mother became nervous: "What, you already made an appointment? You really are a child, I have nothing to prepare for!"
Xu Lian looked at her and smiled: "What are you going to prepare? Didn't you rush back to meet others?"
"I won't be in such a hurry!"
Seeing her reaction, Xu Lian felt a lot more relieved: "Isn't this a coincidence, I originally asked him to go out to watch a movie today, but everyone has gone out, so it's not good to let him go back?"
Xu Lianma: "..."
She understands that her daughter caught her off guard because she ruined their movie. Oh, what a real daughter.
"Where are we going now? Where do you live?"
"Yeah." Xu Lian nodded, and after thinking for a while, she said to her mother, "I'll tell you about him first, his name is Xiang Changkong, he graduated from A University of Technology with a major in flying design, he is 24 years old this year, and is currently working in Takeaway."
"Deliver takeout?" Xu Lian's mother was doing her hair in front of the mirror, but now she turned her head and looked at Xu Lian puzzled. Xu Lian gave her a "um" and said to her: "Because of some incidents at home, he did not continue his studies, so he came out to work after graduating from an undergraduate degree, but he changed his career as an undergraduate student could not get into a research institute. It started in a financial company. , I just started delivering food in the past two months."
Xu Lian's mother digested it for a while before asking her, "What happened to his family?"
Xu Lian shook her head: "I didn't ask, we haven't been together for a long time, so it's not convenient to ask. I'm telling you this because I hope you can see him later, don't ask him embarrassing questions, what do you want to know? You can ask me."
Xu Lian's mother looked at her and didn't speak for a long time. Xu Lian was a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, she frowned, and asked her, "What are you looking at me for?"
Her mother smiled: "You are so grown up, this is the first time I've seen you care so much about someone." Xu Lian has been cold since he was a child, let alone a boyfriend, he has never made any ordinary friends. Before going to school to pick her up from school, other children walked out hand in hand, only she, carrying a schoolbag, stood far away.
The school's teachers also talked to their parents about this matter. They always said that Xu Lian was not gregarious, did not play with other children, and did not participate in group activities.
At first they suspected her of being autistic and took her to see a psychiatrist, but the doctor said that Xu Lian was not autistic. As she grew older, they also discovered that the child had no obstacles in communicating with people. She was just out of habit, keeping a distance from people and not wanting to get too close to anyone.
She and Xu Lian's father were naturally worried, but they finally figured it out. Everyone has their own way of life, as long as Xu Lian is happy. They were all mentally prepared for Xu Lian not to find a boyfriend or marry for the rest of her life, but she suddenly told them that she had a boyfriend.
No wonder her dad was so anxious, it was really a big deal.
Xu Lian's mother said, "If you are like this, I want to meet him even more. You and Wei Yichen have known each other for so many years, but I have never seen you care so much about Wei Yichen."
Xu Lian snorted: "Why do you suddenly mention Wei Yichen? He will only cause trouble for me." Then she turned her head and reminded her mother to say, "Anyway, although he is temporarily delivering food, you can't look down on it. he."
"Come on, I look down on you and I look down on you." Xu Lian's mother chuckled, "He graduated from the University of Technology A and is ranked in a prestigious school, do you think everyone can be admitted? Don't you just take the test? A pheasant university?"
Xu Lian: "..."
Although her university cannot be compared with A-Tech University, it is still a regular university, huh, huh.
"By the way, what major did you say he graduated from? Flying Design?"
"Um."
"What is this profession for, is it an airplane?"
"Almost, it should be designing the aircraft. I have read his professional book before, but I didn't understand much."
"It will be strange if you understand it." Xu Lian weighs a few pounds and two taels, is she still a motherfucker, "Oh, don't say, your father builds the ground, he builds the sky, but it's the same. It's fate."
"..." Thinking about it, it seems to be true.
"But don't blame me for not reminding you. If he returns to the industry in the future, he will definitely be busier than your father. Your father is so busy running on the ground. They are flying in the sky, and they have to be so busy."
"..." Xu Lian pondered for a while and asked her mother, "Then why haven't you divorced your father yet?"
"It's not that your dad is begging me, I think he is pitiful."
"Oh." Xu Lian sneered and said nothing.
When she was about to get off the highway, Xu Lian's mother, who had been silent for a while, suddenly sighed again: "Alas, such an excellent child, what a pity."
Although she did not name anyone, Xu Lian knew that she was talking about Xiang Changkong. Although Xiang Changkong didn't tell her much about his major, just like her mother said, not everyone can get into A-Tech University, not to mention his major is still the best in A-Tech University. Who doesn't feel sorry for him.
Xu Lian said: "I saw a research institute recruiting graduate students a while ago, but I don't know if he has signed up."
"Research Institute?"
"Well, the No. 1 Aircraft Research Institute in City A. I checked the Internet, and it seems that it is the best research institute in China, and has produced many famous chief designers."
One of them was named Xiang.
