Chapter 1582

~7 min read 1,382 words

She's father and mother were busy at home, waiting for their daughter.

Just as they were preparing dinner, they heard the neighbor knocking on the door:

"Minmin's mom, is Minmin back yet?"

She's mom hurriedly responded and opened the door: "Not yet, she hasn't returned. She said it would be another half an hour before she arrives. Sister Wu, you are..."

The neighbor called Sister Wu was holding a bowl of zongzi, and at this moment, she smiled and said:

"You forgot, last time I told you that my nephew is not much older than Minmin. I also watched her grow up. Minmin is a well-behaved and obedient child, and my nephew is also honest, so I thought about introducing them. What if there's a connection?"

She's mom thought to herself, wasn't that just a polite exchange when we met downstairs? How did you take it seriously without saying a word?

Besides, in this day and age, when people praise a child, isn't it because they have no other merits that they praise them for being honest?

Since her Minmin is "well-behaved and obedient," she is even less at ease about finding a partner casually.

She politely said: "The child's work is just getting on the right track, and she is still young, so for the time being..."

"Oh my, listen to me!"

Sister Wu interrupted her: "She's just a young girl, and I heard she's working in some village. How dangerous that is! And there are no channels to meet excellent people. If she gets cheated by someone in the village later, are you two going to let her marry someone in the village?"

"And another thing, it's not that I'm bragging, but my nephew is 1.75 meters tall, which is a very good match for our Minmin! And he has a car. Like when Minmin comes from the high-speed railway station, he can go pick her up by car..."

She's father stood there blankly: Is having a car such an amazing merit?

Their family lives right next to the high-speed railway station! Otherwise, wouldn't he, as a father, go pick up his daughter? It was Minmin who said she just carried a backpack and scanned a shared bike to come back.

But in short—

"Sister Wu, let's talk about your nephew's matter later. Mainly, the child is coming home today, and I'm still busy..."

Why did you choose this time to talk about it? If your nephew is as lacking in social awareness as you, then we can't agree to it either.

Sigh! The old residential area was better, everyone was familiar with each other. Here, the new neighbors always feel like they can't chat together.

Sister Wu wasn't completely oblivious. Thinking that she shouldn't be in a hurry, she smiled and left.

Who knew that just as she stepped out, she saw a commotion at the elevator entrance. She Min was hugging a huge backpack in her arms and had just returned like this!

Sister Wu looked again: a little over 1.6 meters tall, not too short or too tall, but her skin was fair and translucent, looking both healthy and in good spirits—oh my!

This proves the child doesn't stay up late! She definitely doesn't eat takeout, right?

She hates seeing young people staying up late and eating takeout the most.

As soon as She Min stepped out of the elevator, she saw the neighbor aunt standing there smiling at her.

Late at night, it was quite terrifying.

Her smile instantly vanished, and then she shrank her shoulders: "Auntie."

Then she hurriedly walked past her sideways: "Mom! Dad! I'm back!"

The anti-theft door opened, and She's father and mother looked at their daughter, instantly filled with surprise!

"Oh my, this rural work is really nourishing. Why does she look so good!"

She Min became proud: "Our company is naturally very good!"

"Mom, the Dragon Boat Festival red envelope was several hundred yuan. If I didn't want to sell the holiday gifts, I could have earned another 1,000 yuan!"

The family's voices were blocked by the door. Sister Wu heard it and also felt it was quite good: giving such a generous red envelope for the Dragon Boat Festival, this job is quite good!

If it really works out, her nephew can also follow her to work.

She was happy and hurriedly called her relatives when she returned to her room.

And in the She family, She Min was regretting that she came back late at night and the express delivery hadn't arrived yet, while hurriedly opening her backpack:

"Quick! Dad! Take the watermelon!"

All the way back, she hadn't been willing to take this bag off her body, and she had carefully placed it on the security check table when going through security.

After all, it was the watermelon from the proprietor's house!

She's father looked at it and couldn't help but smile bitterly: Silly daughter!

Oh my, it's not that her personality is too shy, but the leader she met at work doesn't know how she was manipulated, making the child treasure two watermelons for the holiday like this.

And she carried them back from so far away... isn't this a waste of effort?

But the daughter was so expectant, like offering a treasure, so the parents couldn't say anything, and had to sigh and put the watermelon by the door.

Who knew She Min wouldn't be happy: "Dad, how can you put it there? What if it gets kicked by accident?"

She's father:???

If it gets kicked, it gets kicked. It's a watermelon, not a steamed bun.

Thinking again, it was brought back by the silly girl from thousands of miles away, so he had to tentatively ask: "Then, put it on the table?"

She Min hesitated for a moment: "Then what if this watermelon rolls off?"

She's father:...

"Are you hot? Why don't we eat it first."

"No!"

She Min then reacted: "I'm so tired today, I haven't saved up enough energy to eat, and I haven't taken a shower yet. There are better things at the express delivery, I'll unpack them together tomorrow!"

"Dad, Mom, it will definitely shock you then!"

She's father:... I don't really understand the sense of ritual of young people nowadays, is it worth it to eat a watermelon?

But the child just came back, so he happily agreed to whatever she said. She's mom also asked: "I stewed braised pork, shall I serve you a bowl of rice?"

Speaking of this, She Min remembered again:

"Mom! There are 5 steamed buns in my backpack, the chef specially made them for us, hurry, hurry, don't let them go bad!"

She's mom:...

Now even she started to feel sorry for her silly daughter.

What era is this, she still treasures 5 steamed buns she brought back. When she was a girl, her life wasn't that miserable.

But the child just came back, forget it, I won't say anything!

As for the braised pork...

She Min hesitated for a moment: "Can I not eat it? I ate several braised pork zongzi today..."

That flavor was still lingering in her heart.

If she ate her own family's braised pork, the beautiful memory would be gone, what a pity.

But She's mom didn't know, she thought the child had eaten braised pork before coming back.

Thinking again, it was indeed a bit greasy late at night, so if she didn't eat it, she didn't eat it! This braised pork would taste even better when reheated tomorrow, with the sauce thickened and melting in the mouth!

Therefore, she also generously said: "Fine! Otherwise, you go take a shower first, we'll talk about anything tomorrow! Didn't you say you have a week off?"

She Min was indeed tired: "Yes, we got up at 5 o'clock early this morning to help harvest mugwort, then there was a zongzi-making competition in the morning, eating and drinking at noon, and we even had afternoon tea before leaving..."

"And my watermelon, I held it in my arms all the way..."

Most importantly, her schedule had been exceptionally healthy at the Song family's place during this time.

Half a year ago, this time was the beginning of her nightlife, but now, she was even starting to feel sleepy.
