Chapter 53 Blind Date 1
"Alright, alright, these are just small matters, why are you still arguing?" Lin Ziqiu kicked Zhong Heyang lightly with her foot, "Xiao Zhao, I work in a state-owned restaurant. If you want to eat the food I cook, you can also come to the restaurant."
For someone like Zhao Huaian, he has no pressure at all even if he eats out every day.
Seeing that he couldn't stay at the Zhong family, Zhao Huaian had no choice but to agree, "Okay, I'll go there tomorrow!"
Zhong Xuexi deliberately insulted him, "You'd better stop thinking about my sister-in-law, or my brother will beat you up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Huaian felt a cold gaze falling on him, and he wished he could raise the white flag and surrender immediately.
I swear to God, he really has no other thoughts about Lin Ziqiu.
However, he also realized a very important thing. Why did Brother Yang, who had always refused to get married, protect his new wife so much? Looking at how nervous and concerned he is, no one would believe him if he said he didn't like it.
Zhong Xuexi has always had a good relationship with Ruan Qing. Everyone in the compound knows that Ruan Qing likes Zhong Heyang. So what does Zhong Xuexi think?
Should I continue to help Ruan Qing, or acknowledge Lin Ziqiu as my sister-in-law?
He was cautious and planned to go back later to find out more.
After dinner, Zhao Huaian stayed for a while, using the excuse of playing with the two children. It was not until Zhong Xuexi got tired of him and wanted to kick him out that he reluctantly got up.
Zhong Xuexi pushed him out of the door and said, "Hurry up and leave! Your mother is probably waiting for you to come back for dinner!"
Zhao Huaian put his hand against the door and said, "Then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
Zhong Xuexi refused: "No."
Zhao Huaian was anxious, "We agreed on this before, how can you not keep your word?"
"I said before that you would come pick me up tomorrow if it rains." Zhong Xuexi rolled her eyes: "Besides, even if I don't keep my word, what can you do to me!"
Zhao Huaian choked and said unconvincedly: "You yourself told me to come to your house for breakfast tomorrow morning."
Zhong Xuexi put her hands on her hips and said in a tough tone: "I was just being polite. Besides, you ate a lot tonight. Old Zhao, you should know how to be content. You can't have everything."
Zhao Huaian was completely defeated.
He gritted his teeth in anger and squeezed out a few words: "Okay, you're so cruel!"
Zhong Xuexi was amused by his gnashing teeth, "Go back quickly!"
After saying that, she turned and went into the house, closing the door behind her.
Zhao Huaian stood there without moving, and after a while he pushed the bike towards home.
Zhao's mother saw that her son came back humming a song and seemed to be in a good mood.
So, she stepped forward and said tentatively: "Why did you come back so late today? Have you eaten? I've got some food warming up for you. By the way, your aunt introduced you to a nice girl, who is also from your school. I'm sure you know her. I've seen her photo, and she's pretty..."
"mom!"
When Zhao Huaian's mother said the last few words, the smile on his face froze immediately.
"I've told you hundreds of times, don't introduce girls to me. I won't see anyone who comes."
Mother Zhao was so angry that her eyes turned red. "You are almost 30! People your age in our compound already have several children! What do you want?"
Zhao Huaian picked up his briefcase and walked into his room, not wanting to listen to her nagging at all.
Zhao's mother rushed into the house and tried to bargain with her son, "You keep saying that you have to wait for fate, but who knows when that fate will come? You yourself refuse to see anyone, so is it possible that God can drop a good wife from the sky for you?"
Zhao Huaian threw his briefcase onto the desk, and fell directly onto the bed, saying perfunctorily, "Yes, God will give me a wife when the time comes, so don't worry about it."
"you--"
Mother Zhao was furious. She tried to calm down her excitement. "I didn't ask you to get married right away, but you should at least go out and meet people. People who don't know would think my son is shameless! Where can I put my face?"
"It doesn't matter. The old man is still strong and you two can have another child."
"You rebellious son! You really want to piss me off to death, don't you?"
Mother Zhao covered her heart, her face turning pale and blue. "Okay, since you are unhappy with me, I don't want you to make me angry again. Tomorrow I will ask your grandfather to send you to your father. I will no longer care about your affairs!"
"I'm not going!"
Zhao Huaian was firm in his attitude, "I still have to go to work, how can I go to his place!"
The unit his father was in was at the most remote front line, where the conditions were not only difficult but also extremely dangerous.
Besides, if I were really sent there, how long would it take for me to see Zhong Xuexi again?
"Don't go to that crappy class! I'm afraid you'll corrupt other people's children with an unfilial and rebellious son like you!"
Zhao Huaian's mouth twitched slightly, "Filial piety can't be blind filial piety! I didn't listen to you except for the marriage. Am I not doing well in other aspects?"
"I don't know how you got the nerve to say that! I asked you to join the army but you refused and insisted on becoming a teacher. In order to protect you, I had a big fight with your father. Now he blames me and your grandmother in his heart! That's fine. You are the only child in our family. Do you want to make the Zhao family extinct?"
When Zhao's mother thought about the fact that her husband didn't go to the army because of her son, he refused to come back even if he had vacation.
She felt that it was because she and her mother doted on their son too much that he had not even gotten married yet.
As she spoke, she began to cry.
Zhao Huaian frowned. Seeing his mother crying so sadly, he felt a little uncomfortable.
It’s just that he has liked Zhong Xuexi for so many years, and he really can’t accept anyone else.
He knew his mother too well.
Once she knows that she likes Zhong Xuexi, she will definitely blame Zhong Xuexi for delaying him.
He couldn't not marry the girl he loved and let her suffer.
Zhao Huaian sat up and compromised for the first time, "Okay, I promise you, I'll go meet you."
Mother Zhao raised her head suddenly, tears still hanging on her face, "Really?"
"Well, please make an appointment." Zhao Huaian said in a low voice, "But let me be frank. I'm just going to meet her, which doesn't mean I'm going to marry her."
"Okay, okay!" Mother Zhao's brows instantly lit up with joy, she wiped away her tears, and she wished she could call the girl home right now.
"That girl is from your school, her last name is Xu, her name is——"
"Xu Li?"
Zhao Huaian sneered indifferently. There were only so many teachers in their school.
There was only one unmarried female teacher with the surname Xu, so it was hard for him not to guess who she was.
"You're right! Oh! You've seen the real person, so it doesn't matter if you don't look at the photo." Zhao's mother was delighted again, "That girl is pretty good-looking, and you are from the same school. If you really get together in the future, you can be together often..."
Zhao Huaian was too lazy to listen to his mother talking about things that were impossible to happen. "Stop, stop, stop. Go make an appointment with someone. I have to prepare for class."
Mother Zhao couldn't sit still any longer, so she quickly stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go right away so as not to delay your lesson preparations."
When she left, Zhao Huaian fell on the bed. It was impossible for him to prepare lessons.
He closed his eyes, and all he could think of was Zhong Xuexi's appearance...
If Zhong Xuexi knew that he was going on a blind date with Xu Li, she would probably dump him.
But he saw that his mother was serious. If his grandfather really caught him and brought him to his father, he would be really helpless.
There's no other way, this is the only way.
