Everything Gao Jiakai did was just an act, but his mother took it seriously. No wonder she scared Gao Jiakai to death.
Gao Jiakai was indeed frightened, but in Lin Congzhi's eyes, it wasn't because he was just putting on an act, but because he felt that Gao was too hasty and not mentally prepared.
From this, we can infer that Gao Jiakai already has the idea of dating Yao Yao.
He knew Gao Jiakai had feelings for Yaoyao, so this trip was worthwhile.
...
With the constant care and attention of Cheng's parents, Gao Jiakai ate his fill at lunchtime.
My stomach has never been so bloated before; it's all thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Cheng.
In the future, we should try to make people feel less guilty, otherwise they'll have plenty to eat and enjoy.
After finishing their meal, Lin Congzhi and Gao Jiakai chatted in the living room for a while before preparing to leave.
Mr. and Mrs. Cheng tried to persuade him to stay longer: "Why don't you stay a little longer?"
Lin Congzhi: "The journey is long, so we need to set off early."
"It's only three towns away, not very far."
During the conversation just now, Cheng's mother learned where Lin Congzhi lived, so she knew how long it would take to get from the Cheng family home to the town where Lin Congzhi's hometown was located.
Lin Congzhi explained, "We need to go to the city to buy some things first, so time is really tight."
Yao Yao understood immediately, and a smile gradually spread across her face: "Could it be that you're going to Yi Yi's place?"
Lin Congzhi just smiled and remained silent.
Silence means consent.
Yao Yao also wanted to join in the fun: "I want to go too."
Lin Congzhi advised, "It's not on the way back, you'd better not go."
Yao Yao disagreed: "Where is it not on the way?"
Cheng's mother scolded sternly, "Yaoyao, stop fooling around."
Having lived here for so long, he knew perfectly well that going back to the Cheng family and the Lin family from the city was not on the way.
With her mother intervening, Yao Yao dared not be willful anymore, after all, she was in the wrong.
If Lin Congzhi went to Jiang Yimei's place first and then returned home, then time would indeed be very tight. Cheng's mother did not try to stop him: "Wait for me a moment."
After saying that, he immediately went inside to prepare the red envelopes.
Whether it's going on a long trip, celebrating a festival, or bidding farewell to relatives and friends, giving red envelopes is a custom.
Although it doesn't cost a lot of money, you have to give a token amount because it symbolizes good luck and protection.
Lin Congzhi and Gao Jiakai knew that Cheng's mother had gone inside to prepare a gift. They wanted to refuse, but they couldn't stop her, so they let Cheng's mother prepare it.
It didn't take long to seal the two red envelopes, and Cheng's mother soon came out of the house.
In addition to bringing red envelopes, she also brought several bags of local specialties.
It's only right to reciprocate; Lin Congzhi and Gao Jiakai gave them gifts, so they should return the favor.
Given their misunderstanding of Gao Jiakai earlier, this gift is even more necessary.
Seeing that Cheng's mother was being so polite, Lin Congzhi sighed, "Oh, Auntie, there's no need to bring anything."
Cheng's mother said warmly, "This is a local specialty; it's rare to find in the city."
Lin Congzhi: "It's not like we're not coming. We'll come back in a couple of days, and you can give it to us then."
Cheng's mother was astonished: "Why?"
Lin Congzhi: "Picking up Yaoyao for work,"
"That's right." Cheng's mother suddenly understood.
Since we work in the same city anyway, and it's on the way, it's a good idea to hitch a ride.
Since that's the case, she'll give it to Lin Congzhi and Gao Jiakai in a few days. Anyway, she was in a hurry just now and didn't manage to pack many good things.
"Then I'll give it to you in a couple of days."
"Um!"
After putting down the local specialties, Cheng's mother came to Lin Congzhi's side and gave him a red envelope.
