Upon hearing this, Tang Junhe's face instantly darkened and he stood up and left the table.
Seeing him leave without saying a word, Tang's mother was stunned for a moment, her brows knitted together, and she pointed at his back and said something again.
"Hey, that's unbelievable."
Tang Xue watched Tang Junhe leave, pursed her lips, and said sarcastically, "I didn't care enough and couldn't find a partner, and now my family is not happy about it."
The two of them spoke quite loudly.
Their words fell clearly into Tang Junhe's ears, and his originally gloomy face suddenly became even uglier.
He turned and went straight into the kitchen.
He remembered that Tang Xue bought a fruit basket in the afternoon.
Sure enough, the fruit basket was placed next to the stove.
There are many kinds of fruits in the basket. In addition to the common apples and pears, there are even a few golden oranges.
Oranges are quite rare in this season.
Tang Junhe took an orange, peeled it, tasted a slice, and the sweet fruity flavor exploded in his mouth.
Song Zhi likes sweet food very much.
She would probably like this orange.
Thinking of this, Tang Junhe silently picked out all the oranges and found a small bamboo basket to put them in.
When he left the kitchen, Tang Xue and her mother were still eating.
I saw him carrying out a small bamboo basket with a few golden oranges in it.
Tang's mother immediately asked, "Where are you going with these things?"
Tang Junhe paused slightly and said, "Send it away."
After saying this, he ignored the inquiring and surprised looks of the people behind him and quickly left home with his small bamboo basket.
As soon as the door closed, Tang's mother and Tang Xue withdrew their gaze and looked at each other suspiciously.
"Who is he giving this fruit to so late at night?"
Tang's mother couldn't help but say.
She knew most of Tang Junhe's friends, and she hadn't heard that anyone of them had returned.
"have no idea."
Tang Xue shook her head.
After she got married, she went home less often, and Tang Junhe was not at home all year round, so the two siblings met only a few times.
She was not familiar with Tang Junhe's social circle.
But sending fruit is suspicious no matter how you look at it.
"Could it be that something really happened to him?"
Tang Xue poked the bottom of the bowl with her chopsticks, and suddenly remembered what Tang Junhe had just said, and couldn't help but blurt out.
When these words came out, both mother and daughter opened their eyes wide.
Tang's mother's face was full of excitement.
"Something's really happening!"
Tang Xue couldn't help but remind her when she saw her like this.
"Mom, this is just my guess. I don't know anything about him."
Naturally, she also hoped that something was really wrong with her brother.
Seeing that he is thirty years old and still has not started a family, everyone in the family is worried about him.
Tang's mother's excitement was not extinguished by Tang Xue's words.
"A few days ago, he also took food from home and walked out, exactly the same as he did today."
She clapped her hands, remembering the exact same scene a few days ago. The more she thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.
"I didn't take it seriously at the time, but now that I think about it, it's really not right. Besides, going out to give oranges so late at night doesn't seem like giving it to an ordinary friend."
Tang Xue didn't know about this, but when she heard her mother say this and thought about Tang Junhe's expression when he left the house just now, she clicked her tongue twice.
"It seems like something really happened."
She turned to look at Tang's mother and continued, "This guy didn't go home for the Chinese New Year last year, and he suddenly came back before the Chinese New Year this year..."
Having said that, she paused and looked at Tang's mother.
Tang's mother immediately understood what she meant and took a deep breath nervously.
The mother and daughter said in perfect tacit understanding, "Could it be that his sweetheart is in the capital?"
There was silence at the dinner table for a long time.
After a long while, the two of them laughed excitedly.
"This guy is really something. He didn't tell me earlier that he had a crush on someone. He made me worry for nothing."
Tang Xue's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down at this moment.
She was worried that her brother had been staying in the army all year round, dealing with a group of grown men all day long, and had not found a partner yet. She was afraid that he had lost interest in women.
Fortunately, things haven't reached this point yet.
The two of them were not happy for long, and they became interested in who Tang Junhe's sweetheart was.
"Which girls in the compound have returned home recently?"
Anyone who could meet someone at this time probably lived nearby, Tang Xue asked her mother.
"Didn't Song Zhi just come back from the countryside a few days ago?" Tang's mother almost blurted out.
"It's definitely not her. If Tang Junhe liked her, you would have a grandson by now."
Tang Xue immediately retorted.
Song Zhi must be a smokescreen released by Tang Junhe.
The true lover must be someone else.
"Mom, think about it carefully, is there anyone else?"
Hearing this, Tang's mother lowered her eyes and thought for a long time. After a long while, she thought of another candidate.
"Besides Song Zhi, the only other girl in her twenties who's been home lately is Fu Hongdie. Her mother has been ill recently, and she took a leave of absence from the art troupe a while ago."
Upon hearing what Tang's mother said, Tang Xue said again.
"I saw her when I came back today. She plays the violin very well now."
She thought of Fu Hongdie playing the violin and couldn't help but sigh.
She also learned to play the violin when she was a child, but her attainments were far from those of Fu Hongdie.
"The Fu family is pretty good. Even though they're down and out now, they're still a musical family after all. And I think Hongdie is pretty, so she shouldn't be dating, right?"
