Chapter 6: It's not a matter of course (2)

"Xiaojia, your father, will your mother let me in?"

Xiaojia said hesitantly: "I don't know either, I'll take one step at a time."

The last time the letter was found, her parents' rage was still in front of her. This time, without discussing with her parents, she brought her boyfriend home, whom her parents firmly opposed. She worked in the factory for more than 20 years and had a straightforward and impatient personality to do what would her parents do? Xiaojia dared not guess.

Hou Weidong touched his ID card and 200 yuan, and said intimately, "I am not allowed to enter the door, so I will go back to Yiyang, or go to sleep in a hotel. I wonder if the hotel in Shazhou is expensive?" This time he left school and needed some things, so his family paid some extra fees. Therefore, Hou Weidong also brought 150 yuan with him. He wanted to stay in a hotel, and the fare for eating noodles and Huiyiyang was enough.

"A person's eggs are on the sky, so I'm afraid of being so dick." Hou Dayong cheered himself up and said, "Xiaojia, don't worry, no matter what the situation is, I will be sure of it."

Thinking of the possible storm, Xiaojia's face was quite heavy, her beautiful eyebrows were twisted, and she thought for a long time, and she said, "It's a matter of time to meet, and she can't hide." She held Hou Weidong's hand tightly and said, "No matter what happens, we will always be together, we must have confidence."

"Are you confident?" Thinking of the three-hour drive, Hou Weidong thought about the problem from Xiaojia's parents' perspective and said to himself: "From their perspective, one is in Yiyang and the other is in Shazhou, and they will be separated after marriage. This must consider the transfer. However, Shazhou is an old industrial city, and Yiyang belongs to the county under Shazhou. In any case, it is too far from Shazhou. It is difficult to transfer from Yiyang to Shazhou without special relationships."

Thinking of this, Hou Weidong's confidence in this trip to Shahe was a little reduced. He realized his weakness and quickly cheered himself up: "I am an outstanding student who graduated from Shazhou College. I will definitely do something. They have no reason to refuse a good son-in-law."

When the bus entered Shahe City, the wide avenue, high-end green trees, high-rise buildings, and small cars passing by made Hou Weidong feel a little nervous again, and his confidence weakened again. He straightened his chest and said, "I am Hou Weidong, an outstanding graduate of Shazhou College, I'm afraid of nothing."

After passing a bridge, Xiaojia pointed to a factory opposite the river and said, "My parents are in this factory, one of the top ten companies in Shazhou."

When the bus was standing by, Hou Weidong greeted the two familiar classmates, and then carried a large box from Xiaojia and walked outside the station.

Xiaojia's family has good financial conditions. Compared with her classmates, she spends money very much. Before graduation, she gave all the supplies from the college to Sister Yang, who is guarding the gate. For more than three years, Sister Yang has taken good care of Xiaojia. As long as Sister Yang is on duty, Xiaojia can safely circle the playground with Hou Weidong. Even if it is later, Sister Yang will open the door happily and never pick on her face. Of course, this is related to Xiaojia's usual snacks to Sister Yang.

After walking for more than ten minutes, I passed the Shahe Cinema, and there were large advertisements outside the cinema: the latest American blockbuster film Desperate, starring Harrison Ford (Har Son Ford) Dr. Hard Kimbl, Tommy Lee Jones (Tmyleejones) Samuelgerard.

Hou Weidong had heard of this blockbuster, so he slowed down a little and laughed at himself: "If today goes well, we will watch the movie tonight."

The two entered a small alley and walked about two or three hundred meters. Xiaojia stopped and pointed forward with his hands, saying, "The gray building in front is my home." Hou Weidong was a little nervous and asked, "Your father, is your mother really awesome? What if they don't let me in?" Xiaojia also considered this issue. She thought for a while and said, "Then I will go upstairs first, tell them directly, and see their attitude."

Xiaojia carried a small bag and went upstairs, leaving Hou Weidong downstairs alone. When Hou Weidong was in the college, he dated Xiaojia. He often felt that time was dressed like a golden shuttle and a silver shuttle. Standing downstairs, he felt that life was like years, and he once again realized the accuracy of Einstein's theory of relativity.

This is the family building of the factory. All the residents work in the same unit and are very familiar with each other. When they see a stranger standing at the entrance of the door with a box, they know that it must be a relative of which family. Those who pass by him and enter the corridor can't help but look back at Hou Weidong.

I don’t know how long it took, but Xiaojia walked down the corridor. She had a crying expression on her face. She walked to Hou Weidong and said, “They asked you to go up.”

Hou Weidong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "What is the attitude."

"not good."

Hou Weidong's heart suddenly lifted up again, his lips were so dry that he took out a cigarette from his pants pocket. This is Hongtashan, which costs ten yuan a pack. For students, this is already a very high-end good cigarette. Hou Weidong tore open the packaging so that it would be easier to take out the cigarette and put it in his pants bag. He gritted his teeth and said, "Go, go up."

The security door was closed and a gust of northwest wind came from inside, "My home lives on the loess high slope, and the strong wind blows through the slope." Hou Weidong had a loud voice and was good at the northwest wind, but now when he heard the northwest wind, he felt extremely irritable.

Xiaojia opened the door, changed into slippers, and took another pair of Hou Weidong. When Hou Weidong carried the heavy boxes into the room, he saw a middle-aged man and woman sitting on the sofa with expressionless faces, not looking out the door at all, but staring at the TV without blinking eyes.

The TV was on in the middle of the living room, and another song was another song. Fu Disheng sang in it with some momentum: "Everyone paddling, drive, drive the big boat."

"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Luo, hello, my name is Hou Weidong, and I am Xiaojia's classmate." After Hou Weidong put down the box, he came to the middle of the house and began to introduce himself respectfully.

In the 1980s, the family buildings of state-owned factories were all small and exquisite. A family of three could get a two-bedroom and one-living house of more than 60 square meters, which means that the owner of the house was doing well in the factory. Xiaojia's home was a typical state-owned home.

The room is small, with windows on both sides, and the lighting is quite good, but the air inside the room is as condensed as it is, so depressing that it makes people breathless.

The middle-aged couple held their hands and sat on the sofa seriously. Although they did not refuse Hou Weidong to enter the room, they did not give him a good look. After Hou Weidong introduced himself, the couple still said nothing and let him stand awkwardly.

Although Hou Weidong does not have the legendary kingly spirit, nor does it make girls become crazy when they see him, he is a stolen figure in the political and legal department of Shazhou University and a capable general of the school student union. As the saying goes, the lover's eyes are like Xi Shi, and in Xiaojia's eyes, he is an extremely excellent boy. Now seeing his beloved lover being hung up by his parents, he feels heartbroken. She pulls Hou Weidong's clothes and says, "Wei Dong, come here."

The parents ignored his daughter Xiaojia's behavior.

After Hou Weidong sat down, Xiaojia took the initiative to hand over a glass of water. Hou Weidong took a sip of cold water. His heart and lungs were extremely comfortable, so he took Hongtashan from his pants pocket, took one out, and handed it to Xiaojia's father sitting on the sofa, and said, "Uncle Zhang, smoke."
