A family of three was sitting at the dining table, eating dinner quietly.
Xia Nuannuan and her mother Su Xia sat on one side, and Xia Zhengping sat opposite them.
The atmosphere was slightly silent.
The couple knew their daughter very well and could easily detect that her daughter had entered the house with a sense of low pressure.
Su Xia also tentatively asked if something happened at school, but Xia Nuannuan denied it.
Xia Zhengping guessed that what he had done might be exposed. Looking at his obviously angry daughter, he felt guilty and sad at the same time.
My own juicy cabbage actually got angry with a pig-headed boy who didn't know where it came from.
There is no way, who is the best in my heart!
I can only coax him!
"Nuan Nuan, you are hungry after studying for a day. Come on, eat more."
Xia Zhengping picked up a piece of beef meatball with a smile, stretched out his arm and handed it to his daughter's bowl.
However, Xia Nuannuan directly picked up the bowl and avoided it.
She glanced at her father with a faint expression, and said in a meaningful tone: "No, you can eat it yourself. I don't dare to eat it. Who knows if there is anything strange in it."
Xia Zhengping froze, and the chopsticks holding the beef meatballs froze in the air.
Sure enough, you know it!
That damn pig-headed boy actually complained to his daughter?
In his opinion, after he used this small means to warn him, the pig-headed boy should have suffered this humiliation and learned from it.
How can that kid be so embarrassed!
However, he didn't know that the pig-headed boy was his daughter Xia Nuannuan's tablemate. When he was eating the shrimp balls he carefully prepared, Xia Nuannuan was watching from the side.
"What a strange thing, how could it be possible? Your mother made this with her own hands using pure beef. It's delicious, look at it."
Xia Zhengping stuffed the beef balls into his mouth and chewed them, pretending that he didn't know anything.
"Haha, then you can eat more."
Xia Nuannuan smiled and said.
On the side, Su Xia's doubtful eyes wandered over the faces of the father and daughter, and she quickly realized something.
"Nuan Nuan, what's wrong? Explain it to mom!"
She asked.
Xia Nuannuan looked at her mother with her big watery eyes, and her tone became a little aggrieved:
"Mom, dad helped make some of the shrimp balls I took to school at noon, and he stuffed them with stuff."
"ah?"
Su Xia looked at her husband opposite in astonishment.
Xia Zhengping's face turned red and he avoided looking away.
"What did he stuff?"
Su Xia looked at her daughter again and asked.
"Sichuan peppercorns, and I don't know what else, maybe mustard pepper or something like that."
Xia Nuannuan answered seriously.
The corner of Su Xia's mouth twitched violently several times, and she stared at her husband with a dark face.
This action was really fast, thanks to him for being able to come up with such a weird method.
"I, I was afraid that the shrimp balls would be too bland and tasteless, so I accidentally added too much."
Xia Zhengping picked up the bowl and shoveled the rice into his mouth, mumbling nonsense.
"The mustard and pepper can explain it. What about Sichuan peppercorns? Have you ever seen someone stuffing Sichuan peppercorns into shrimp balls?"
Xia Nuannuan asked angrily.
"Ahem..."
Xia Zhengping choked violently, quickly picked up the glass of juice next to him, drank it, and swallowed the food in his mouth.
"Lao Xia, I have to stand on my daughter's side in this matter. Your tricks are too bad."
Su Xia showed a look of disdain and said bitterly: "And you're wasting my food. What else are you going to eat? Don't eat it."
After saying that, he stood up, reached over and snatched the chopsticks from his hand.
"That's right, don't let him eat it."
Xia Nuannuan immediately echoed and stared at Lao Xia with gloating eyes.
Black lines drooped from Xia Zhengping's forehead. After putting down the cup, he said in a solemn tone: "Now that we've said it all, let's show our cards. Nuannuan, my wife, do you have anything to say to me?"
?”
As soon as these words came out, the polarity immediately reversed, and it was Su Xia and Xia Nuannuan's turn to feel guilty.
"What's the meaning?"
After all, Su Xia is an experienced actress, so she was still shocked and didn't show any fear.
Xia Nuannuan was completely a walk-on. She picked up the bowl in a panic and ate the food without saying a word. From her expression to her movements, the word "panic" was evident.
"This is the situation, and you still help her hide it?"
Lao Xia narrowed his eyes slightly and said with an unhappy expression: "Wife, what you did is so wrong. I'm very unhappy. Can any of you tell me what's going on with that kid?"
At this moment, Lao Xia seemed to have regained his family status.
I saw him folding his arms, raising his fleshy chin slightly, exuding the aura of the head of the family, looking at his wife and daughter opposite him with stern eyes.
Su Xia was speechless for a moment and turned her head to look at her daughter inquiringly.
Now that the matter has come to this, she also knows that she can no longer hide it.
Xia Nuannuan felt the same way and asked her mother for help with panicked eyes.
"Ahem."
Su Xia cleared her throat, put down her chopsticks, and elegantly took out a napkin and wiped her mouth.
"Yes, I have indeed met that boy and passed the test. He is a pretty good young man. It is beneficial and harmless for Nuannuan to get close to him, so I have no objection and support them to be normal friends for the time being.
Communicate.”
The calm and gentle voice seemed to suppress Lao Xia's momentum instantly.
Most of Xia Nuannuan's nervousness and uneasiness faded away immediately, and she looked at her mother with eyes full of admiration and gratitude.
"Is there any benefit or harm? I don't agree with this. The college entrance examination is in two months. Shouldn't Nuannuan focus on studying?"
Xia Zhengping frowned slightly.
"Didn't you see the results of this mock test? Didn't you see that Nuan Nuan has made such great progress?"
Su Xia asked rhetorically.
When Xia Nuannuan heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Lao Xia with a proud and confident expression.
Xia Zhengping looked at his daughter and pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "Indeed, I need to praise my daughter for this, but because of this, I need to work harder and not think about other things that have nothing to do with study for the time being."
"What has nothing to do with learning? Lao Xia, do you know why Nuannuan has made such great progress this time?"
A playful smile appeared on Su Xia's lips.
When Xia Nuannuan next to her heard this, her eyes brightened even more.
"Um?"
Xia Zhengping looked puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Nuan Nuan, tell me!"
Su Xia looked at her daughter with a smile.
The preparation has been completed, and the rest is left to the girl herself.
Lao Xia's eyes fell on his daughter again, his brows tightened, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Xia Nuannuan smiled sweetly, revealing a pair of shallow dimples on her beautiful face.
"I made such great progress in this exam, all thanks to Qin Tian's help. He was the first in our grade this time, but he scored 745 points in the exam, with perfect scores in three subjects, and only five points were deducted for Chinese."
"Oh, by the way, he is still my deskmate and has been helping me with my homework recently."
After the soft words fell, the living room fell into silence again.
Xia Zhengping's eyes widened slightly and he was speechless for a long time.
