"We found it at a recycling center after we finished watching the movie."
Huang Qinqin doesn't see anything wrong with going on a date to a recycling station. In her mind, the most important thing about dating is giving two people a chance to spend time together.
So where you go and what you do are not the important points. The important point is to see if the two people are compatible during the time you spend together.
She often goes to recycling stations to buy things. Some people might think it's beneath her dignity because recycling stations are dirty and messy, and the things inside are all used by other people.
Usually only families facing financial difficulties would go there, but Huang Qinqin didn't mind. She could buy useful things for the least amount of money, so why not?
Moreover, Xu Junhui accompanied her today and didn't show any sign of disgust, so Huang Qinqin thought it was quite good.
When Chen Zhaodi heard that Huang Qinqin had actually gone to the scrap metal recycling station with Xu Junhui, her face darkened.
She deliberately said, "Daughter, come in with Mom for a moment. I can't find something. Can you help me look for it?"
"Junhui, sit down and rest for a bit. Eryuan, pour Junhui a glass of water."
Xu Junhui noticed that Chen Zhaodi seemed a little unhappy, and felt uneasy when he saw her pulling Huang Qinqin into the room.
He was afraid that Chen Zhaodi was dissatisfied with him, and he was afraid that he would hear Huang Qinqin tell him that they were still not suitable for each other.
Because he was lost in thought, he didn't hear Huang Eryuan calling him several times. He only came to his senses when he saw Huang Eryuan wave his hand in front of his face twice.
"Sorry, Uncle, I was a little distracted just now. Did you say something?"
Xu Junhui tried to reassure himself that it couldn't be that he was dissatisfied with him, after all, he didn't seem to have done anything wrong...
Looking at the absent-minded Xu Junhui, Huang Eryuan asked again, "How many people are in your family? What do your parents do for a living?"
"There are four people in my family: my parents, my younger sister, and me."
“My dad is a police officer, and my mom doesn’t work. She mainly stays at home to take care of us and occasionally takes on odd jobs.”
Huang Eryuan was just making conversation to pass the time and asked casually. He originally thought that Xu Junhui's father also worked in a food factory, because generally speaking, most children work where their parents work.
Besides the fact that the job can be passed down to one's children, the most important thing is the factory's recruitment information, which usually gives priority to the children of employees.
"Where do you live? I don't think the police station has a residential compound for family members."
“We live near the food factory and have a small, detached house.”
"oh oh,"
Huang Eryuan really couldn't think of anything else to talk about, so the two of them just stared at each other at the table, speechless.
......
After pulling Huang Qinqin into the room, Chen Zhaodi closed the door and said with exasperation, "How could you take Junhui to the scrap yard!"
Huang Qinqin shrugged and sat down to the side, unconvinced: "What's wrong with going to the recycling center? It's better than going to the park on such a hot day, right?"
Chen Zhaodi poked Huang Qinqin's forehead and said irritably, "What kind of decent family goes on a date to the scrap yard? What kind of image do you have going there like this today?"
"What does Junhui think of you? He might think our family is poor and stingy. What if you two break up?"
Huang Qinqin rubbed her forehead, not worried at all: "Mom, Junhui isn't that kind of person. Besides, even if we take a step back, if you think our family is poor just because I went to the scrap yard to buy things..."
“Isn’t Junhui the person we look down on the most? You always taught me not to judge people by their appearance, and not to make a judgment about someone based on just one thing.”
"If he can't even accept something this small, then let it fall through. Our family isn't exactly rich, we don't steal or rob, we're just good at saving money, so what's there to be afraid of?"
Chen Zhaodi couldn't argue with her, so she simply gave up: "Fine, fine, you're right. You graduated from high school, while I haven't been to school. I can't argue with you."
"Anyway, just be careful. Did you ask Junhui when her parents are free so our two families can have a meal together?"
Huang Qinqin: ?(′Д` ;)?:.*
She smiled ingratiatingly at Chen Zhaodi and said, "Oh, I forgot to ask. Shall I go out and ask now?"
"Seriously, what can we expect from you? You can forget even after asking such a simple question. I don't need you anymore, I'll ask myself."
After saying that, he pushed open the door and went out.
Huang Qinqin pouted and muttered something under her breath before following them out.
As soon as Chen Zhaodi went out, she saw Huang Eryuan and Xu Junhui staring at each other, not saying a word, just sitting there.
"Cough, cough,"
Chen Zhaodi had no choice but to cough twice to break the silence.
When Xu Junhui saw Chen Zhaodi come out, he quickly stood up and awkwardly greeted her, "Auntie."
After greeting them, I didn't know what to say, so I just stood there dumbfounded.
Seeing Xu Junhui's nervousness, Chen Zhaodi felt reassured. His nervousness in front of her meant he was satisfied with her daughter.
He said kindly, "Don't be nervous, sit down and let's talk."
"You and Qinqin have been dating for a while now. I wonder if your parents have some time recently so that our two families can sit down together for a meal and discuss your relationship?"
Xu Junhui subconsciously thought Chen Zhaodi was going to tell him that they weren't suitable for each other. Before he could even hear what she said, he blurted out, "Auntie, please give me another chance, I will definitely..."
It wasn't until halfway through the conversation that she realized Chen Zhaodi was actually planning to arrange a meeting between both sets of parents to discuss their marriage!
She quickly changed her tune: "Yes! Yes! My parents are available anytime. When would be a convenient time for you, Uncle and Aunt?"
Although Xu Junhui didn't finish his first sentence, everyone present could tell what he wanted to say.
Huang Qinqin thought Xu Junhui was a bit simple-minded, actually believing that her mother was planning to break them up.
Chen Zhaodi felt a little speechless. Why did she seem like such a meddlesome person? The two of them were getting along so well, why would she break them up?
With a smile on his face, he said, "How about next week's day off, and you come over to our house at noon?"
"Go back and ask your parents for their opinion first, then come and tell Qinqin about it."
Xu Junhui really wanted to say that there was no need to go back and ask, as his parents would definitely have no objections. If possible, he would love to come over and discuss it tonight.
However, it was obviously unrealistic, so he had no choice but to obediently reply, "Okay, I'll go back tonight and discuss it with my parents."
"It's getting late, so I'll head back now. Goodbye, Uncle and Aunt."
"Qinqin, goodbye, I'm leaving now."
