Chapter 54 Blind Date 2
Early the next morning, before Zhao Huaian woke up, his mother rushed in, "Son! Wake up! I'm telling you something!"
"I made an appointment for you last night. They said they would invite you to have lunch at the state-owned restaurant at noon."
As she spoke, Zhao's mother took out a few big unity notes from her pocket and stuffed them under Zhao Huaian's pillow. "Take this money and spend it. Be generous to the girl and leave a good impression on her, okay? Don't keep silent! The girl will be very embarrassed when the time comes. Men should take the initiative!"
Zhao Huaian pulled the quilt over his head without opening his eyes, "Got it, get out now!"
Zhao's mother was so excited that she barely slept last night. Not only did she call to arrange a time and place, she also told her mother-in-law that Zhao Huaian was willing to go on a blind date.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cried while talking on the phone, and they felt like the clouds had finally cleared and the moon was finally visible.
She stood up and just walked to the door, then thought of something and said, "By the way, I ran into Xuexi's mother this morning, and she said that you were going to her house for dinner, so I didn't make breakfast for you."
The man who was in bed just now sat up instantly, his mind cleared up a lot.
Zhao's mother looked at him in confusion. He was just going to have breakfast, and he woke up already?
As my son grows up, I, as a mother, find it increasingly difficult to understand his thoughts.
Fifteen minutes later, Zhao Huaian rode his bike to the door of the Zhong family.
The door was open. Zhong Heyang had sent Lin Ziqiu to work and was not at home. In the yard, Zhong Niannian and her brother were each eating a corn.
"Grandma! Uncle Zhao is here!" Zhao Huaian parked the car at the door, walked over, and rubbed Zhong Niannian's little head, "Is this corn delicious?"
Zhong Niannian nodded and smiled sweetly, "It's delicious, it's sweet! My aunt said that my aunt wants to lose weight, so we can't eat meat buns in the morning, otherwise my aunt will be too greedy."
"Your aunt wants to lose weight?" Zhao Huaian was stunned for a moment, "Why?"
Zhong Niannian blinked and said, "I don't know either."
All along, Zhong Xuexi seemed not to care about her weight and had difficulty controlling her diet to lose weight, but in her heart she would definitely be hurt by the ridicule and slander of others.
She was determined to lose weight, and Zhao Huaian felt that it was for Wei Zhihe.
His heart gradually sank, and he asked tentatively: "Niannian, has your father visited you and your brother recently?"
Zhong Niannian had no idea of what he was thinking, and even boasted, "My brother and I stayed at Dad's place a few days ago, and we even went to see Mom! Mom said she has a performance in a few days, and my brother and I are going to watch it!"
Little Niannian is often slandered by gossipy outsiders for being born but not raised by her. Now that she has seen her mother, she naturally wants to make it public.
Zhao Huaian closed his eyes, and it was just as he thought.
Wei Zhihe would naturally come to the Zhong family for the sake of his children. Before he got divorced, although Zhong Xuexi was unwilling to give up, she also resisted doing anything out of line.
Now that he is divorced, if he keeps meeting her, Zhong Xuexi will only feel deeper for him and find it hard to let go.
No wonder that at dinner last night, Zhong Xuexi, who usually would have eaten at least two bowls of rice, ate half a bowl for the first time.
For Wei Zhihe, she really worked hard and lost weight as soon as she said she would.
Zhao Huaian was extremely jealous, but he had to endure it.
At this time, Zhong Xuexi, who was wearing braids, walked out of the main room: "Why are you here to eat when it's not raining? Remember to pay!"
Zhao Huaian said sarcastically, "I want money for my meals. Do you charge Wei Zhihe for his meals?"
Before Zhong Xuexi could react, Zhong Niannian tilted her head and asked, "Why does my dad have to give money to my aunt when he comes to eat?"
Zhao Huaian was speechless. Zhong Xuexi was so happy that she poked him directly in the heart, "Why are you not as sensible as a child? Can family members be the same as outsiders?"
"Zhong Xuexi, whether it is family or sweetheart, you know it best."
The smile on Zhong Xuexi's face suddenly stopped, "Zhao Huaian!"
She did like Wei Zhihe, but she was not ready to let Zhong Niannian and her siblings know.
Even though Zhong Niannian is much more sensible than other children of the same age, it doesn't mean that she won't be sad. No matter who you are, you will mind that your aunt likes your father.
She was not afraid that Zhong Niannian would hate her.
But she didn't want Zhong Niannian to be seriously hurt. This was different from the fact that she didn't like her on a normal day.
"Even coming to eat for free can't shut up your stinky mouth, right?"
Zhao Huaian clenched his fists and curled his lips in self-mockery, "I can't afford your family's food, so leave it to your sweetheart."
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.
Zhong Xuexi yelled at his back: "You bastard!"
Zhong Niannian looked up at her aunt thoughtfully, "What does the sweetheart Uncle Zhao mentioned mean?"
Hearing her words, Zhong Xuexi felt a headache. She couldn't tell the truth. She was afraid that Zhong Niannian would not be able to bear it after hearing it, so she had to coax her, "Your Uncle Zhao just doesn't want to give money, so he is jealous that your father can come to our house for dinner."
"He was just making up stories about his sweetheart."
"Okay, kid, stop meddling in adult affairs."
Zhong Xuexi felt a little guilty and turned into the kitchen.
Leaving behind Zhong Niannian who was looking worried, she leaned close to Zhong Siyu and whispered, "Brother, is my aunt trying to snatch our dad from us?"
But Zhong Siyu didn't even blink, like a soulless doll.
Zhong Niannian had long been accustomed to this situation. She held his hand and said firmly, "If Dad is taken away by someone, then we don't want him anymore."
"Those who get robbed are bad people."
…
Today at school, when Zhong Xuexi and Zhao Huaian met, neither of them greeted each other for the first time.
When they meet each other on weekdays, they will always say a few insults to each other.
Even in the school cafeteria at noon, it was the first time that Zhong Xuexi didn't see Zhao Huaian. She felt a little lonely without a dining companion.
Because none of the other teachers wanted to sit with her, even Xu Li, who usually loved to get close to her, was not there for the first time.
"Have you heard? Teacher Xu went on a blind date today!"
"She has always been very picky. If she is willing to go on a blind date, the conditions must be very good!"
"Gossip! The man on the blind date is also from our school!"
"Ah? Who is it? There are only a handful of unmarried male teachers in our school!"
"Stop keeping us in suspense! Who is it?"
Qiao Bo looked at Zhong Xuexi with disdain, "Didn't you notice that someone had dinner alone today?"
Everyone looked at Zhong Xuexi in the corner with incredible expressions on their faces.
"No way? Teacher Xu was able to take that guy down? That's amazing!"
"Teacher Xu told me this herself, and it is said that Zhao Huaian agreed to meet her immediately after hearing that it was a blind date."
"It's actually quite normal. Teacher Xu is pretty and has a good personality. If I weren't married, I would want to marry her."
"Come on, that would require Teacher Xu to look up to you! Only someone of Teacher Zhao's level is worthy of you!"
