Chapter 12: Going to the Countryside
"Hey, Xiaoxue, didn't you say you were going to Lao Mo's with your classmates? Why are you back so early?"
Zhao Xiaoxue felt that she had stood him up and Jiang He was avoiding her like a venomous snake, so she could only return home angrily. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her brother teasing her, and she immediately retorted angrily, "I was stood up."
"Hey, who messed with my daughter? Tell me, your dad asked you to deal with him." Father Zhao, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, immediately raised his head when he heard his daughter's words, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he spoke to his daughter lovingly, but he did not forget to glare at his son with his eyes closed.
"Dad, you don't know your daughter yet. How could she let herself suffer any harm?" Zhao Xiaofeng said calmly, "She must have encountered something else. Tell me about it to make me happy."
"Anything else? What could it be?" Father Zhao glared at his son, then put down the newspaper in his hand and asked seriously.
Zhao Xiaoxue then curled her lips and said, "I met Jiang He."
"Jiang He?" The two men in the room looked at each other and asked a question, but Zhao Xiaofeng spoke first, "Who is it?" It sounded like a boy's name.
"It's the man who saved me last time." Zhao Xiaoxue said with some self-destruction, "I thought I would never meet him again, but I didn't expect to run into him one day. I was thinking of inviting him to dinner, but he ran away faster than a rabbit."
"Hahaha." Zhao Xiaofeng laughed heartlessly. "I told you long ago that I don't like you. Maybe my boss thinks you're stupid enough to fall for that kind of trick. Hahaha, no... let me laugh for a while. Ouch - Mom, why did you hit me?"
"I'll let you laugh at your sister." Zhao's mother, who had just finished cutting water chestnuts in the kitchen and walked in, slapped her son on the back of the head.
"I'm telling the truth!" Zhao Xiaofeng picked out a piece of sliced apple from the plate and took a bite. "That girl has clear eyes and a different temperament. Even though she's not wearing the best clothes, she gives me a great feeling in the future."
Now even Zhao's father was interested. "That Zhizhen is real, you said so well? You just met him for the first time, and you can already tell what kind of person he is?"
"Old Zhao Xiaozhi, don't look down on me. Although I am usually a bit stubborn, it's a shame for me to be with my sister." Zhao Xiaofeng swallowed the last bite of apple and immediately jumped to the door, fearing that his mother and sister would kick him.
"Jiang He..." Father Zhao put the name on his lips and chewed it for a few times. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh. "I was wondering why this name is a little familiar. The old professor gave me a translated textbook a few days ago and mentioned this name."
"Translation?" Zhao's mother asked in confusion, "Is it the textbook about the country of watches that gave you a headache some time ago?"
"Yes, if this Jiang He is the same Jiang He as the translator, then Xiaoxue, what your brother said is really right."
Zhao Xiaoxue: "...Dad..." As the saying goes, like father, like son. He just wanted to seek comfort from his mother, but got such a look. He really couldn't stay in this house anymore.
"Hey, Old Zhao, think of a way to meet that young man." No one knows a daughter better than her mother. How could Zhao's mother not know what her daughter was thinking?
