Chapter 22: Meeting with Father-in-law and Mother-in-law
On Saturday, early in the morning, Li Minghui used a cleaning talisman to clean the house with a cleaning talisman. His father-in-law and mother-in-law arrived at 10 o'clock in the morning and his parents were 3:30 pm. Li Minghui asked for leave with his boss early and took Tian Yumeng's leave. He closed the door and rested for a day today.
Su Qiaoqiao was very excited. Although the two had a flash marriage, their relationship was pretty good. When she saw this pervert on the bus for the first time, she thought he was very cute. The yelling aunt must be nervous there, but the pervert didn't make things difficult for others. She just gave in quietly and didn't care about the eyes of strangers. The second time she met this pervert again, and suddenly had a whim to experience the ambiguous bus. Not to mention that this pervert is quite professional, and there are many tricks and no entanglements. The two of them have been fighting too much, so they inevitably have some feelings. Unfortunately, this pervert seems to avoid something every time. Later, she was in a bad mood and casually mentioned that she wanted to get married. This stupid friend really took it seriously. She bought a house quietly and didn't say anything disgusting to herself. She was down-to-earth and real, she was a man who lived a life.
Su Qiaoqiao, who has worked hard in the workplace for so many years, has become indifferent to the warmth of human feelings. Maybe Li Minghui's silent approach has moved him, and he took on the burden without saying a word. Looking at Li Minghui who is dressed up inside and outside, Su Qiaoqiao suddenly felt that she had made a profit by marrying such a man. She is down-to-earth and diligent, a little clever, and loves to take advantage of her. She discusses with herself when she encounters anything that is difficult to solve, and does not hide it from herself. Recalling that Li Minghui went to the company to pick him up after get off work, and trained him with a gun and a stick.
Ju Bapo's colleague talked and laughed with his boss and solved his shield life. After his boss had contacted Li Minghui several times, he actually highly praised this pervert and called him a tough guy among men. Now everyone in the company knows that he is going to get married and it is not easy for men to mess with, so he doesn't gossip about his own affairs. The boss has also promoted him to a position and grasped the company's personnel power. This is the so-called two fruitful harvests of love and career. As he thought about it, Su Qiaoqiao actually laughed out loud alone.
Li Minghui pulled Su Qiaoqiao up sitting on the sofa and smiled foolishly. The two drove to the train station to pick up Su Qiaoqiao's parents. Along the way, Li Minghui seized time to inquire about her father-in-law's hobbies from Su Qiaoqiao. In order to facilitate the ride, he borrowed a business car from the company and prepared to take her parents around the city after meeting.
At 10:20, Su Qiaoqiao's parents' train was 20 minutes late. Su Qiaoqiao is from Huizhou Province. His father's name is Su Guoqiang and his mother's name is Lin Cui'e. When he saw his daughter and son-in-law at the exit, his daughter held the son-in-law's hand and looked very happy. The son-in-law is a big man and looks very down-to-earth. Su Guoqiang nodded with satisfaction. Su's mother held Su Qiaoqiao's hand and looked at Li Minghui up and down. Su Qiaoqiao chatted with his parents and didn't know what to say. In the end, the four got on the bus. Li Minghui thought for a long time and didn't know what to say. Finally, he was determined and said, "Dad, mom, you are very tired just getting off the bus. Let's go home first. I have bought the lunch food and eat it at home. After my parents come in the afternoon, we will go to the restaurant to eat lobster."
Su Qiaoqiao laughed and said, "You are self-conscious. My parents didn't agree yet, so you called me. It's so shameless." Su's mother was obviously satisfied with Li Minghui's attitude and said with a smile: "No need to bother. Let's eat at home in the afternoon. It's not easy for your parents to come here, and it's not easy to eat outside." Su's father also said, "Minghui, I think you are very good to Qiaoqiao. Is it difficult to buy a house here alone? Tell us if it's difficult, we will also support you."
Li Minghui said a little embarrassedly: "Oh, it's not difficult. My income is quite stable now. I still have a house to support my family. Qiaoqiao's money will be saved for the child after she saves it, so you won't have to worry about it."
The four of them talked and laughed all the way. In addition to being a little nervous at the beginning, Li Minghui completely relaxed afterwards, but he also knew that he could not be too arrogant. It is definitely right to maintain a modest and cautious attitude. Su's father and mother were obviously very satisfied. Su's mother kept praising Li Minghui for looking very grand and was a person who did big things.
When he got home and parked the car, Su Qiaoqiao pulled his parents to visit his new house, and pointed at him and said what furniture he planned to change and what appliances he wanted to add. Li Minghui made tea and invited his father-in-law to have a good rest. He honestly told his mother-in-law that the property certificate was already being processed. The house was shared by the two, and there was no messy statement about pre-marital property. Su's mother was very happy. Seeing her daughter was also very happy, she felt more and more satisfied with her son-in-law.
Turn on the TV and watch a Rockets reverse the Thunder with his father-in-law, and talked about prices and avian flu. Li Minghui looked at his mother-in-law in the kitchen with embarrassment, and swears to his father-in-law that he will learn to cook in the future. He didn't drink at noon. Su's mother asked Li Minghui's family situation. After learning that Li Minghui was the only son in the family, Su's mother asked Li Minghui if he would bring his parents to support him in the future. Li Minghui thought for a while and said, "Qiaoqiao is also the only daughter of the family. We are still young now and plan to work hard to build a house. Then we will take you all over for retirement. The environment here should be better, and the family can still get a table of mahjong."
Su's mother smiled and said, "Even if you retire, your parents are both state-owned enterprises. There will definitely be no problem with the security after retirement. We will just take care of your children. Just go home often when you have time." Su Qiaoqiao said embarrassedly: "We don't plan to have children yet. Let's make more money now. Let's talk about it in two years." Su's mother immediately said anxiously, "How can you not want children? Take advantage of the youth and have two more. Now that the policy is relaxed, you can't afford to raise us for you." While saying that, she also looked at Li Minghui, hoping that Li Minghui would express her opinion.
Li Minghui said a little embarrassedly: "Next year, I'll be planning to have a child next year. Qiaoqiao's job actually doesn't affect it. Their boss is quite open-minded." Su's father nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's enough to have plans. My Qiaoqiao has been spoiled by us. You should give in to her." Li Minghui quickly swears to promise that he won't fight back in the future, which makes Su's mother laugh.
After rushing to wash the dishes, Li Minghui saw that his mother-in-law was a little sleepy, so he quickly arranged for the two to rest. He and Su Qiaoqiao discussed where to go in the living room. Su Qiaoqiao strongly asked to pick up her parents-in-law with Li Minghui, and whispered a few words to his mother, and took Li Minghui to the station to pick up the people.
Li Minghui's father is Li Zhenzhong and his mother is Wang Meiping. Both of them are workers in state-owned enterprises, but Li's mother has retired and is playing sweaters at home to chat with the neighbors downstairs. Li Minghui's family is from Shanjin, and the next trip to the south is considered a thousand miles away. The two walked out of the exit with many specialties in their hometowns.
Li Minghui quickly took the things from his parents' hands. Su Qiaoqiao pulled her mother-in-law a little blushed, and called her uncle and aunt obediently. She was not as thick-skinned as Li Minghui. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't say the words "My parents".
Li’s father and mother looked at their beautiful daughter-in-law, and were happy from the heart. The Chinese people were more traditional. They watched their next generation slowly get married and start a career. Both parents were happy. Li’s father talked less, but they were not serious and rigid people. They smiled and spoke kindly. Li’s mother grabbed Su Qiaoqiao’s hand and kept looking up and down. She kept praising her wife’s beauty all the way. She asked Su Qiaoqiao when she was going to have a child. Su Qiaoqiao was embarrassed to say that she was going to have a child next year. Li’s mother was very happy. Taking advantage of the inattention of Li Zhenzhong, the two of them were not paying attention, she touched a gold bracelet and put it on Su Qiaoqiao’s hand. She kept saying that the thing was lighter. She turned around and asked Su Qiaoqiao to buy three big and three small pieces by herself. Su Qiaoqiao felt embarrassed to touch the gold bracelets on her hand. It was an old item, and even the new one was worth a lot of money. Li Minghui looked more like his mother, which was real.
Li's father also took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Su Qiaoqiao's bag. It was 10,000 yuan in thickness, so he didn't say much. The four of them went home at around four o'clock. When they entered the door, they saw Su's father and mother standing up to greet them. Li's mother changed their shoes and quickly let the two sit down. Li's father took out the bag Zhonghua and lit it for Su's father. The six of them sat on the sofa, but it was not crowded.
When Su's mother saw the gold bracelet on her daughter's hand, she was quite satisfied with the in-laws' reaction. The parents of the two sides chatted about family matters and threw Li Minghui and Su Qiaoqiao aside.
Li Minghui thought for a long time, took out his phone and ordered a table of meals at the restaurant at the door, and then put the specialties brought by his parents. He added tea and sat on the side with Su Qiaoqiao watching his parents chat with Su Qiaoqiao.
The Chinese people always say that it is not that the whole family does not enter the family. Both parents are from that difficult era, and they are not rich and noble at home. They are very satisfied with their children's current situation. They quickly discussed when the date is set and what to do about the wedding. After discussing it, the two sides decided to solicit opinions from their children. Li Minghui smiled and said, "We are going to do it locally in October. I have a good relationship with the general agent of the dealer manufacturer. I am planning to receive a gift of about 200,000 yuan, and the house will be basically paid off. As for the family, why not go back to their hometown to do it locally after the local processing is completed. If the gift is collected, it will supplement the family's life. Qiaoqiao's family will also do it. I guess you have also gone out with a lot of gifts in the past two years and just took it back."
Su Qiaoqiao pinched Li Minghui embarrassedly and said, "Why are you turning to the gift money again?" Su's mother obviously didn't care about Li Minghui's blunt statement. She said, "Okay, let's arrange it like this. You two of us can come back. The in-laws will come to stay for a few more days. We are all ready." Li's mother also said, "There are everything at home and there is an empty house for you to make a wedding room. It's October, and the weather is just right."
Father Li responded: "In-law, you see, we are quite far away from each other, and we don't know the customs there. What I mean is that we will discuss the bride price, and Minghui and Qiaoqiao will take it together when they return to your side. As for the three major and three small items, we will let Qiaoqiao choose it directly. Anyway, we will have to stay here for two days. Let her choose it in these two days. What do you think?"
Su's father waved his hand and said, "Hey, this thing is just a formality. We received the dowry and Qiaoqiao followed him. The meaning is just right. We have been preparing for the dowry for many years. Our two families are both children, so they can live a relaxed life. I think Minghui is also quite sensible, and he is planning to buy another house here to pick us up for retirement. Let's just join us to return this house to Minghui, and the children are under a little pressure."
Li Minghui quickly said, "You don't have to worry about the house. I'm not under much pressure. Parents, I heard from Qiaoqiao that their side is 58,000, and I've prepared the money, so you don't have to worry about it."
Su's mother glared at her eyes and said, "Can we still ask you to bring this money? Then Qiaoqiao will bring it back? If you ask you to repay the house first, you will return the house first. If you see the right one, buy another one. If you rent it out, the two houses will be a little smaller, and the two children will not be able to live in the future." Su Qiaoqiao said to her mother a little embarrassedly: "Mom, why do you always think about the two children? You don't have to worry about you? It's true."
Su's mother glared at Su Qiaoqiao again and said, "We spoiled you. Look at Minghui, everything is planned. All four of us have made the decision. You still call her uncles and aunts. If you want to beat you up in the past, Li Minghui would be lightly." However, this was obviously a little insincere. Su's mother also looked at Li Minghui's face and found that Li Minghui looked embarrassed and didn't care about Su Qiaoqiao's name to her parents at all. Su's mother felt satisfied again. It seemed that her daughter had found a good man and her heart was on her wife.
