Qin Tian left a phone number, and the bicycle shop assistant would find someone to deliver it to Jiang University. If he hadn't returned to school by then, he could just ask someone in the dormitory to help collect the goods.
After the two left the store, they went to a nearby large supermarket.
Pushing the shopping cart, the two of them selected the ingredients for dinner together.
Xia Nuannuan is very energetic and busy before and after running.
I bought a variety of fresh vegetables, beef and pork belly, as well as some prawns and hairy crabs that looked very good.
"Brother, what are they selling over there? There are so many people queuing up!"
Xia Nuannuan's attention fell on the cooked food area not far away, where there were many people lined up in a long queue.
"It seems like roast duck, on sale!"
Qin Tian saw the discount promotion sign and said with a smile.
"Roast duck? Lao Xia really likes it. Let's buy one too!"
"good!"
So, the two walked straight over.
Asking Xia Nuannuan to take care of the shopping cart, Qin Tian stood in line.
It's already past three in the afternoon, and most of the people who come to this supermarket to buy food are housewives from nearby communities.
After a while, standing behind Qin Tian were two middle-aged women who looked to be in their thirties.
The two women knew each other and looked at Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan with interest.
No matter what age women are, they all like to gossip, and housewives of the same age as the two of them are the most likely to gossip.
In their opinion, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan are so stunning in appearance, and they seem to be a loving couple who came to the supermarket to buy groceries together.
And he looks to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, so he can think of a lot of things.
"Nuan Nuan, it looks like the queue will last for a while. Why don't you go shopping and buy some fruit drinks or something?"
Qin Tian suggested.
Xia Nuannuan smiled sweetly and shook her head, saying: "Since we are not in a hurry anyway, let's wait until we finish buying this roast duck before we go together!"
"also!"
Qin Tian chuckled and nodded, and then said: "Then think about whether there is anything missing, or send a message to ask auntie if there is anything you want to buy, such as seasonings and so on."
"Uh-huh!"
Xia Nuannuan pecked her little head, took out her mobile phone and sent a message.
When the two housewives behind saw this, they looked at each other in astonishment.
What's the situation? Is this the time to have dinner with your girlfriend's family?
And with such a calm and natural tone, why do I feel that the title "aunt" should be replaced by "our mother".
Are today’s young people so efficient?
"Mom said no, she has already bought these. It is enough for us to buy some vegetables."
Xia Nuannuan raised her head and replied.
"Okay, then should we buy drinks? Let my uncle and I have a couple of drinks?"
Qin Tian asked again.
"No, don't you have to drive back to school after eating? It's better not to drink."
"It's okay. If uncle wants to have a drink, I can. I'll leave the car there then. You can just take a taxi back to school first."
"There's no need to buy it, my dad's place must have good wine."
"That's right, okay, let's buy some fruit later."
"Uh-huh!"
Listening to their exchange, the two housewives became even more confused.
Could it be that... this young couple just looks a little younger? In fact, they have reached the age of discussing marriage?
But how do you explain this when driving back to school?
"Are you college students?"
The woman behind Qin Tian couldn't hold back her curiosity and suddenly asked.
When the two heard this, they looked at her suspiciously.
"Yes, we are freshmen at Jiang University."
Xia Nuannuan answered with a smile.
"Jiang University, that is a good school!"
The woman looked surprised and asked: "So you are on vacation and you want to go back for dinner together?"
"Um!"
"You've already met your parents, so you guys didn't fall in love only in college, right?"
"Well, we are high school classmates."
Xia Nuannuan answered shyly.
"Wow, we were admitted to Jiangnan University together? That's really rare."
The woman's face became even more surprised.
Afterwards, Xia Nuannuan chatted wordlessly with the two women.
It wasn't until Qin Tian bought the roast duck and put it in the shopping cart that Xia Nuannuan said goodbye to the two of them.
Looking at the two people pushing the shopping cart away, the two housewives sighed with envy on their faces.
"What a youth!"
"Yeah, it looks like a perfect match. Why is my stupid son not liked by his female classmates? Look at his efficiency."
"Hey, your son has just entered the first year of high school. Aren't you worried that his love affair will affect his studies?"
"That's not necessarily a bad influence. Look at this couple. Didn't they both get admitted to Jiangsu University together?"
"Haha, that's your son. My daughter is different. I don't want her to date someone at such a young age."
"You are just too old-fashioned. What age are you in? We parents should be more open-minded. Look at that young man, how outstanding and handsome he is!"
"That's someone else's family too. How many boys of this age can be as good as him and so mature and steady?"
"My son is not bad either. You see we are so familiar with each other. Why don't we let the two children..."
"Let him work hard and get into Jiangsu University first!"
"This is a bit difficult!"
…
…
It was already past four o'clock when we arrived at the community where Lao Xia rented a house.
Carrying several full shopping bags, the two of them came to the door, and Xia Nuannuan rang the doorbell.
"Who?"
Lao Xia's shout came from inside.
"Dad, it's us."
Xia Nuannuan responded loudly.
"coming."
Lao Xia responded.
For some reason, Qin Tian felt that this tone seemed reluctant.
Soon, Lao Xia opened the door.
"Uncle Xia!"
Qin Tian smiled and said hello.
Xia Zhengping glanced at him nonchalantly, nodded and said, "Here we come, let's go inside first!"
Qin Tian glanced at the several unbuttoned buttons on Lao Xia's shirt, thoughtfully.
"Dad, where's mom?"
Xia Nuannuan asked doubtfully.
"It's in the living room!"
Lao Xia replied.
Xia Nuannuan felt something was wrong and shouted into the living room.
"Mom! We are here."
It's the first time her mother has been away from her for so long, shouldn't she miss her very much?
Now that they are both here, it stands to reason that my mother should come over to greet them as soon as possible.
"I know, come as soon as you come!"
Only then did Su Xia appear in sight.
"What are you doing!"
Xia Nuannuan looked at her mother with somewhat resentful eyes.
"I'm not doing anything, I'm watching TV!"
Su Xia said seriously.
"What kind of TV is this? It's so beautiful!"
Xia Nuannuan pouted.
She didn't notice any clues, but Qin Tian had experienced the workplace after all, and his ability to observe words and emotions was pretty good.
Su Xia's eyes were flickering, and there was a faint blush on her face that had not completely faded away.
No wonder Lao Xia seemed a little too indifferent to their arrival.
This is understandable. The couple live in two places, and Lao Xia is not the kind of person who plays around outside. It is normal for him to close the door and want to do something after finally seeing his wife.
The timing of their arrival was a bit disappointing!
