Meng Xiaozhi Sugar Core

"Xin'er..." Tang Xin's mother looked apologetic and pulled Tang Xin over to hug her. "Come here, let me see, have you gained weight in the past six months?"

"Mom!" Tang Xin was a little resistant. As children grow up, they are not so close to their parents. "Xiao Meng is watching."

"Li Xiaomeng is not an outsider, come and let mom take a look." Her mother reached out and touched the flesh on Tang Xin's arm, "Why haven't you gained any weight? You are too thin, understand?"

"No way! I won't look good if I get fatter!" Tang Xin retorted helplessly.

"You two are both too thin." She frowned but still smiled, with these contradictions in her happiness.

"Mom, where's Dad?" Tang Xin asked as there seemed to be someone missing at home.

"You just remembered your father!" Tang's mother gently scratched Tang Xin's nose, "Of course your father went to discuss business."

"Will uncle come back in the evening?" I asked.

"Well, I should be able to come back. Can I go home for dinner?"

"Great!" Tang Xin made an encouraging gesture towards me.

"Well, Auntie, let us cook dinner for you! When we passed by the supermarket just now, we bought some ingredients." I asked Tang Xin's mother for consent.

"I'm so embarrassed. You two came all the way here, and I still ask you to cook." Tang's mother was suddenly a little surprised, "Wait a minute, did you say 'we'?"

"Yeah, Tang Xin has also learned how to cook!" I nodded and praised Tang Xin, "Ever since we went to Teacher Song's house, she has been clamoring to learn cooking from me. Then she gradually got the hang of it."

"Really?" Tang's mother covered her mouth with her eyes wide open, "That's simply amazing! I also want to try the food my daughter cooks for us!"

"Yes! You will definitely like it." Tang Xin patted her chest and promised.

"But it's still early, I'll prepare a room for you first." Tang Xin's mother took us to the second floor, "But you two may have to squeeze into one room. There was only one bedroom prepared for Tang Xin on the second floor. The other rooms are used as a study and a storage room for your father."

"It's okay, Mom." Tang Xin smiled evilly and secretly made a V sign to me.

I glared back at her, warning her not to go too far. Didn't you have enough fun last night? Can't you just stay quiet for a few days?

But she didn't understand what I meant and was still laughing secretly.

"Did you hear that, Tang Xin?" Tang's mother stopped and looked at Tang Xin seriously.

Tang Xin was startled. She was so focused on communicating with me that she didn't hear her mother talking to her for a while: "No, I didn't hear clearly..."

"Why are you still the same? You think your mother is nagging you, don't you?" Mother Tang pinched Tang Xin's face and started rubbing it.

"I did, Mom..." Tang Xin regretted it, but it was useless.

"Ah, there's really nothing I can do about you. Xiaomeng came with you to find us, you have to take good care of her, understand? You sleep on the floor at night, and she sleeps on the bed!"

"Ah?" Now it was Tang Xin's turn to be dumbfounded.

"What? A single bed can't accommodate two people. Did you kick them off the bed in the middle of the night?"

Tang Xin said aggrievedly: "Mom, am I your biological child?"

"It's free when you top up your phone bills over 200 yuan."

"..."

Tang Xin looked at me for help, so I had to protect my poor wife: "Auntie, it's okay. It's okay for Tang Xin and I to squeeze in. It's not good to sleep on the floor in winter."

"Look at them, they care about you so much."

“???” Tang Xin’s face was full of question marks.

Tang Xin's room is located on the second floor, facing south, with excellent lighting. The afternoon sun shines through the gauze window and spreads aimlessly throughout the room, making the room warm. The room is very clean, with quilts and pillows neatly stacked on the bed. There is also a small pink desk near the west wall, on which is a small bookshelf with some books. There is a fluffy carpet on the floor in the middle of the room, which seems to have faded a little due to time, but is still spotless.

"Mom, I think I've been here before." Tang Xin gently tugged at her mother's sleeve.

"You actually still remember it. When you were very young, your parents brought you here to live." She picked up a cute Mickey Mouse doll from the corner and said, "When you passed by the store, you insisted on buying this."

"Is that so? I don't quite remember." Tang Xin shook her head.

"It's normal that you don't remember. After all, I only brought you here for one summer vacation, and then you went to elementary school. I even had a fight with your dad about this."

"Fight?" Tang Xin was a little confused, "Mom actually had a fight with Dad?"

"Right. I really wanted you to study in the United States, but your father insisted that you return to China to study. In the end, I compromised because I couldn't get over your father who was more stubborn than a cow." Tang Xin's mother laughed, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about what happened back then. You two should rest in your room first. It's still early to cook, so go downstairs and bring up your luggage and sort it out."

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature began to get colder. It was sunny just now, but now it has become dim.

"Ah, it's snowing!" Tang Xin ran to the window and shouted excitedly, "What big snowflakes."

"Indeed, the snowflakes here are so big." I was slightly surprised as I looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window.

"It's going to be very cold these days~" Tang Xin's mother came over and said to us, "The weather forecast says there will be a snowstorm these days. It's a coincidence that you came."

"Snowstorm?" This was the first time I saw the legendary word.

"Yes, it's a lot of snow." Tang Xin's mother nodded, "By then, there will be dozens of centimeters of snow outside the door."

"Will Dad be able to come back? The roads won't be covered with snow, right?" Tang Xin looked at the snow outside the house, looking a little worried.

"Don't worry~ The snow won't accumulate for a while, and he will definitely come back to see his dear daughter tonight~" Tang Xin's mother rubbed Tang Xin's head to reassure her.

Because it was a bit cold indoors, Tang's mother turned on the floor heating. Tang Xin and I went into the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner for tonight.

"Do you think Dad will like the dishes I cook?" Tang Xin asked me while peeling potatoes. Compared to before when she was fully focused on her work, she is much more skilled now and can even spare some time to chat with me.

"What do you think? It must be every father's dream to taste the food his daughter cooks, right?"

Chapter 74 Confession

The dishes were served one by one, and Tang Xin also made great efforts for them. For example, this bowl of scrambled eggs with tomatoes was made by her alone, and this bowl of braised beef was also made under my guidance.

Tang Xin's mother had been stunned in the restaurant, with surprise and relief in her eyes. Her daughter's growth was really beyond her expectations.

Just when the last dish, spicy chicken cubes, was coming out of the pot, the door of the house opened with a click. It was Tang Xin's father who came back.

"Dad!" Tang Xin ran over and threw herself into his arms.

"Oh, my dear daughter. You are about to break my old bones." The old father, touching Tang Xin's hair, had wrinkles on his face due to the smile on his face.

"Hello uncle! Happy bride." I greeted politely.

"Oh, you really brought Li Xiaomeng here. Hello, Xiaomeng."

"Dad! What does "拐" mean? Hurry up and wash your hands. Xiaomeng and I have prepared New Year's Eve dinner. Let's eat together!" Tang Xin urged.

"I just heard your mom's call and I didn't believe it. Did you really cook?" Tang's father quickly took off his snow boots and walked into the restaurant in slippers.

Seeing nearly ten dishes on the table, he was almost stunned: "This is incredible."

"Mother, how did our daughter change from a lazy and ignorant girl to what she is now in just one year?" Tang's father rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "Was it all Li Xiaomeng's fault?"

"No way, I also helped a little! I cooked many dishes myself." Tang Xin pouted, looking unhappy.

Father Tang looked at me, as if asking if this was true?

"Really? For example, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised beef, and fried chicken steaks were all made by Tang Xin. And she also helped me prepare the ingredients for other dishes." Can I say anything bad about my wife?

"Come on, come on, sit down. I want to try it!" Dad Tang was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He moved a chair and sat down.

Tang Xin and I smiled at each other and sat next to each other. Tang's mother sat next to Tang's father slowly.

"Try a bite of beef first!" Dad Tang picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.

The three looked at him expectantly, only to see his expression change after he chewed a few bites. Without saying anything, he immediately picked up another piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

After swallowing, put down your chopsticks.

"Is this really made by my daughter? It tastes better than what I cook at some restaurants outside. It retains the original flavor of the beef and also uses such a mellow sauce."

Tang's father praised the dish highly and scooped another spoonful of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Looking at his expression, he looked like he was about to cry.

"Now I don't worry at all about my daughter's independent life in the future. She will definitely be able to take care of herself. Mom, our daughter has grown up."

Tang's mother looked unconvinced: "Really? Is it really that delicious? You don't have to say anything against your will to praise your daughter..."

As soon as a piece of tofu entered her mouth, Tang's mother's expression changed, "Is this true? It's delicious!"

"I always thought it was just the child playing around, and I was worried that we wouldn't have a good meal in the evening, so I planned to order some pizza." Mother Tang finally understood how the child's father felt. This table of food shocked them.

"Hurry, you two, come and eat too. Why are you just looking at us while we eat? You've come all the way here to cook for us. It really makes it difficult for my daughters." Dad Tang reacted and quickly invited us to eat.

Tang Xin and I smiled at each other again and started eating happily.

"Oh, by the way, Li Xiaomeng, uncle has always had an idea, and I don't know if you agree with it." Dad Tang suddenly became a little shy, wiped his hands, and asked in a soft voice.

"Uncle Tang, just say it."

"Well, it's like this. The child's mother and I have discussed this before. Tang Xin and you have known each other since childhood. You have been good friends for so many years, so I'm sure you two have a deep relationship." Tang's father looked at Tang's mother, who nodded slightly.

"Well, I heard you talk about your family affairs not long ago. So I have always had an idea." He took a deep breath, "Well, do you want to be our goddaughter? In this way, you and Tang Xin will be sisters~"

"This..." I was really embarrassed. How should I put it? In fact, my relationship with your daughter is closer than that of sisters.

"Eh? Is there any difficulty?" Father Tang scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Not really." Tang Xin answered, she grabbed my hand, "Actually, we also have something to tell you."

"Huh?" Mother Tang and Father Tang looked at each other, somewhat confused.

"Dad, Mom." Tang Xin grabbed my hand a little harder, and my ears started burning. "Actually, Xiaomeng and I are in a relationship."

After saying that, Tang Xin's face turned red, and I lowered my head, my heart pounding.

Tang Xin and I were waiting for the storm to come. I knew this might be bad news for Tang Xin's parents.

However, Tang Xin's mother said something that surprised me: "Dad, look, my intuition is right, right?"

"That's not intuition at all. There's nothing strange about listening to other people chatting." Tang Xin's father replied unhappily.

"Huh?" Tang Xin raised her head, opened her mouth, and looked incredulous.

"Your mother knew about it a long time ago. Do you think you did a good job of keeping it a secret?" Tang's father smiled.

"Mom?" Tang Xin turned her eyes to her mother and asked doubtfully.

"Since your senior year in high school, you've been smiling every day when you come home. Your worries are written all over your face. How could your mother not worry? So she tried to eavesdrop on your room. Although I know it's wrong, I can't stop your mother from worrying about you. She was very angry and said she didn't know which brat had taken away her beloved daughter." Tang's father said with a smile, "Later, she realized that it was you, Li Xiaomeng, who was in love with her daughter."

"At the beginning, your mother was strongly against it and even argued with me." Father Tang looked at Mother Tang and took her hand. "I have never argued with your mother many times in my life."

Mother Tang continued, "Your father said that the most important thing is the happiness of the child. If you like girls, even if we let you go on a blind date and marry a boy, you will definitely hate us for the rest of your life. What's more, your father also said that Xiaomeng is a really good child. If you can take care of each other, support each other, and love each other for the rest of your life, he will have no objection."

"Dad...Mom..." Tang Xin choked up a little. Neither Tang Xin nor I expected things to go so smoothly.
