Chapter 338: Gao Peiling's parents
"How can you say that this weather will change, it was a sunny day just now, Brother Ze, why don't you drive, I don't dare to give you the car keys in this weather." ”
Just came out of the mall, the originally sunny weather suddenly turned cloudy, the wind made people a little out of breath, pop, a drop of rain fell on the roof of the car, and then the raindrops began to intensify, blue and purple lightning crossed the sky, as if someone was going to cross the robbery, the ground began to smoke, obviously, this rain will definitely not be small.
This undoubtedly ruined Gao Peiling's good mood, she handed over the car keys to Lu Ze sullenly, combed the windblown hair on her forehead with her fingers behind her head, opened the trunk, carefully put the gift box away, sat in the co-pilot, leaned against the car door, hugged her hands, kept looking out the window, and watched the people who were also caught off guard by the rain running wildly on the street.
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, it is a good day whether it rains or not, the students rarely ushered in a short vacation, and schools and educational institutions also took a holiday, which also gave Lu Ze and her a whole day to get along.
It was also on this day that Lu Ze made a decision, which surprised her at first, but then it was full of excitement and nervousness for no reason, yes, Lu Ze planned to meet her parents.
Lu Hua's rule is that the man must first go to the woman's home as a guest, and only after obtaining the consent of the woman's parents can he take the woman back to his home, if the two can really get engaged, the parents of both parties will meet again, otherwise the young man may think that it is not a big deal, but in the eyes of the older generation, it is inevitable that the impression of the woman will fall into the frivolity.
It is also because of this rule that Lu Ze must get the affirmation of the woman's parents if he really wants to go further with Gao Peiling, and it just so happens that Gao Peiling finally has a holiday today, so it is better to choose a day than to hit the day and go to the Gao family to visit.
The vehicle drove for about ten minutes, the sound of rain still did not decrease, thundershowers can fall for so long, the amount of precipitation is definitely not low, there is already a lot of water on the road, when the vehicle is driving, it can always splash a large area of water, in order not to splash pedestrians, Lu Ze had to slow down the driving speed, follow the mobile phone map and move forward slowly.
"Brother Ze, the water won't rise, right? In the next hour, the car will be able to rush away, the more I think about it, the more annoying it becomes! ”
"Although Lu Hua's drainage system is not very good, but you are definitely stronger than you imagined, it can't rise in the next hour, and the thundershower can't fall for so long, rest assured, there are forty minutes, guaranteed to get home, I really hope for a heavy rain, today is indeed a bit dry in the first half of the year, I don't see that now the land has to be diverted water." ”
"You said that the first time you went to my house, it rained so hard, and let you come in the wind and rain, how unlucky. ”
Lu Ze glanced at her, saw that her brows were furrowed, and she didn't stretch for a moment, she suddenly felt a little funny, shook her head, stopped under the red light, pulled two pieces of paper to wipe the windshield that rose from the fog, opened the window less than a centimeter gap, handed her the handpaper, and motioned to wipe the co-pilot's glass to make it easier to look in the rearview mirror.
"Anyway, I am also a female graduate student who has returned from studying abroad, how can I be more superstitious than the old man in our village, don't think about those messes, stare at the car window, wipe it if there is fog, this matter depends on my uncle and aunt's impression of me, if the impression is not good, it is useless to have a sunny day of forty degrees. ”
Maybe the quality of the paper is not very good, after wiping it on the wet glass, it left fine fiber hairs on the car window, and she had to rely on the back of her white hand to wipe it, after throwing her fingers into the garbage bag, she looked at Lu Ze, and I don't know why, seeing Lu Ze's calm appearance, she was a little angry, and muttered angrily.
"Why are you so calm? On the contrary, I am so nervous, how do you feel like I am going to see my uncle and aunt, are you nervous?"
"Why am I not nervous? nervous, but I'm an actor, and I'm pretending to be calm. ”
"Ghost believe you, I squinted and called me when it came. ”
Lu Ze is really not nervous, this picture does not look like his boyfriend's first visit, but like a couple who have been married for 20 years and go back to their parents' house.
This really doesn't blame Gao Peiling for being angry, she doesn't want to see Lu Ze's embarrassment, but she feels that the nervousness at this time usually comes from the importance of her girlfriend and respect for the woman's family, and now Lu Ze's calm appearance will inevitably make her feel that her status in Lu Ze's mind is a little dispensable.
.......
The road was not as long as Lu Ze imagined, and he arrived at the place after more than twenty minutes, of course, this is directly related to Gao Peiling's rain stopping after just two minutes.
This villa area, where 80% of the rich people live in Lvhua, is located on the nearest halfway mountainside near Lvhua City, and at the bottom of the mountain is the mother river of Lvhua, and the green cover is estimated to be 60%.
The closer she was to home, the more nervous Gao Peiling became, and after Lu Ze woke her up and asked her to swipe her card into the community, she kept holding Lu Ze's hand holding the gear lever, Lu Ze could feel the sweat in her palm, with a little warmth, but she seemed to be still angry with Lu Ze, and she didn't look at Lu Ze until the car was parked in the garage of the innermost single-family villa in the entire park.
"Or...... I'll take it slowly, you smoke a cigarette and we'll go in. ”
"Don't you hate the smell of smoke?"
"Oops...... You just order one~ It's the first time I've brought my boyfriend home at such an age, can't I be nervous? Brother Ze is interesting enough, order one, let me prepare for five minutes. ”
"Xiaoling, why don't you get out of the car when you come back?"
Lu Ze was looking at Gao Peiling's body like a maggot, rubbing on the car seat, a little funny Just about to speak, a woman's voice came from outside the car, calling Gao Peiling so intimately, the two of them knew who it was with their feet, suddenly, Gao Peiling solidified into a stone in the car seat, and quietly gestured to Lu Ze and reminded.
"My mom ......."
Psychological preparation was unprepared, the two had to get out of the car, and what entered Lu Ze's eyes was a middle-aged woman in sportswear, her eyes and nose were carved out of Gao Peiling like a lathe, and her face was also eight points similar, but her appearance was indeed not as good-looking as Gao Peiling, she could only be regarded as a medium level, and the maintenance was good, looking at Lu Ze with a smile, it seemed that she had a special liking for Lu Ze, and Lu Ze had also heard of it, and the first person who was looking for the second master to talk to the matchmaker was Gao Peiling's mother.
"Hello Auntie, I'm Lu Ze, I've only come to visit after so long, I'm really embarrassed, I went to buy some gifts with Peiling just now, don't dislike it. ”
"Hey, what's there to dislike, what can I bring is friendship, Auntie is happy, I've been watching you on TV before, this time I can be regarded as seeing a real person, taller than I imagined, and strong, come into the house, Jiyong, Xiaoling and they are back!"
In fact, there was no need for Gao's mother to shout, Gao Jiyong was already standing at the door waiting, seeing Lu Ze and Gao Peiling carrying a large bag and a small bag, they also went down the steps to help carry things, their expressions were not serious, and they carried the things in Gao Peiling's hands with a smile, Lu Zegang wanted to introduce himself, but saw Gao Jiyong wave his hand.
"Don't introduce it, we met when you were a child, you forgot......? It's so big in a blink of an eye, how is Lao Lu's health now?"
To put it mildly, Lu Ze doesn't need to introduce himself in Lu Hua, from the age of three to the age of seventy or eighty, there is no one who doesn't know him, but Gao Jiyong is not making up nonsense, the two really knew each other when Lu Ze was young.
At that time, Gao Jiyong's career had just started, just opened a furniture factory, Lu Weiguo was doing anti-tree work back then, and he needed to often transport wood to Gao Jiyong's yard, and Lu Ze at that time would occasionally go with his father, and by the way, let his father buy him a few pieces of tower candy to eat in the town.
But normally speaking, Lu Weiguo actually can't talk to Gao Jiyong, after all, the rank is here, Gao Jiyong has an impression of Lu Ze, it is entirely because Lu Ze was good-looking when he was a child, which was enough to impress people who were quite conservative in aesthetics at that time, and it can be said shamelessly that before Lu Ze was twenty years old, in the ten miles and eight villages of the Zhao family, he was really a famous beautiful man.
Lu Ze didn't expect Gao Jiyong to have an impression of him, but he forgot that he and Gao Jiyong had a relationship decades ago, after all, Lu Ze was only four or five years old at that time, and he didn't remember anything at all.
"I really don't remember, I wasn't a little older at that time, I just remember that my dad went up the mountain to fight against the trees, and now my dad is in good health, but his legs and feet are not very good. ”
Gao Peiling didn't seem to know that Lu Ze and Gao Jiyong still had this fate, looked at her father with some surprise, and asked curiously: "Why don't I know? Dad, why didn't you tell me?"
"I forgot to tell you before, I didn't have you at that time, I really didn't expect you to be able to have a relationship with Lu Ze after a few decades, fate is really interesting, Lao Lu has been bitter and happy in this life, don't mention it, don't mention it, let's go into the house and eat." ”
The four of them entered the house, Gao Jiyong glanced at the gift brought by Lu Ze, it was not very high-end, it could only be regarded as handy, after all, Lu Ze is living a tight life now, there is no need to pretend to be that big-tailed wolf, Gao Jiyong did not have the slightest dislike, but complained that Lu Ze did not need to buy so many things, and then beckoned Lu Ze and Gao Peiling to wash their hands and eat.
The decoration of this villa should be some years, but the classical European style is not left behind in the slightest, it is still very magnificent, the nanny at home is cooking, and the fragrance wafting out makes Lu Ze sure that the nanny's craftsmanship is definitely not bad.
After washing their hands, the four of them sat down at the dining table, there were no cumbersome rules, and there was no sectarian faith, and after Gao Jiyong moved the chopsticks, Gao's mother beckoned everyone to move their mouths, Lu Ze took the initiative to toast Gao Jiyong with a cup, and the two men drank happily, which made Gao's mother and Gao Peiling smile even brighter.
During this period, Gao's mother also asked Lu Ze's current work and plans for his future life, and it can be seen that Gao's mother is very satisfied with Lu Ze's prospective son-in-law, her eyes are full of gratification, and she keeps picking vegetables for Lu Ze, while Gao Jiyong is chatting with Lu Ze most of the time, and does not ask Lu Ze too many questions.
Until he was full of food and drink, Gao Jiyong took out the tea leaves that had been treasured for a long time, and the two men didn't drink much today, one only drank two glasses of white wine and a few bottles of beer, and he was just slightly drunk, and he could continue to chat.
On the small stove, the kettle gradually rose with mist, and the lid of the kettle was also lifted and dropped by the heat, making a loud but crisp impact sound, Lu Ze scalded the cup, poured Gao Jiyong's teacup seven points full, and got two knocks on the table and a cigarette.
There was no polite point, at this moment, the mother and daughter of the Gao family were cutting the fruit after dinner in the kitchen, and only Lu Ze and Gao Jiyong were left in the living room, watching the CBA broadcast of the sports channel.
"I'll stay at home today, I'll ask Aunt Chen to tidy up the guest room for you later, adults shouldn't have the habit of recognizing the bed, right? ”
Gao Jiyong held the remote control and broadcast the TV channel at an even speed, there seemed to be no program he wanted to watch, the channel kept changing endlessly, until he adjusted a loop, and the channel was set on the movie channel, so he gently put the remote control on the table and took a sip of tea.
"Don't bother Uncle Gao, I'll leave in a while, I'm going home tomorrow morning, and there are pets at home that haven't been locked up, and if I don't go back at night, it's time for it to rebel." ”
"It's hard to come once, what are you going to do at night? Our family doesn't have such hospitality, let's not talk about this, you know how to do it, how do you watch him act?"
In Lu Ze's impression, it has been broadcast on TV for almost ten years, and there will be several movies of the same series broadcast every year.
The actors are also in the system, and there is very little contact with commercial actors like Lu Ze, if it weren't for Lu Ze's title of national second-class actor, maybe he really has nothing to do with the actor who plays Lu Xiaofeng, and the actor's acting skills are ...... In fact, that's just the case, it belongs to the level of the old oilman in the class, which is much better than that of commercial young actors, but it is far from being the top, in Lu Ze's opinion, the line skills are not bad, but the biggest problem is that he is contrived, his expression and actions are similar to those of drama actors, which is too pretending.
But in line with the principle of not being full of words, Lu Ze didn't want to belittle others and make himself look like an authority, so he just watched the movie and nodded.
"It's ok. ”
"I feel that he can't act, although I'm a layman, but from the audience's point of view, I feel that he can't act well, and it's not close to life. ”
Making a martial arts movie close to life, it is purely difficult for a strong man, although the acting is a bit exaggerated, but for a martial arts movie of this type, it is actually a tolerable thing, but Lu Ze listened...... I always felt that Gao Jiyong had something to say, but there was no way, this was his girlfriend and her father, Lu Ze naturally wouldn't refute it, so he could only follow his words.
"Yes, art comes from life, of course, it's good to be close to life. ”
"You don't have to follow my words, you are an insider, naturally you have your opinions, but I don't believe it a little, I look at those actors, singers in the draft, they all say that acting is my dream, singing is my life, can it be true? Can it be true? What did you do as an actor in the first place?"
The smoke twisted into a bewitching arc in the air, dancing under the light, Lu Ze looked at it, flicked the cigarette ash, stopped the dance, and understood what he meant.
"For money, begging for a living, earning food. ”
"Hahaha, this is the truth, dreams or something, it's all to cover up the interests of Bentu, hypocritical shame, in fact, it's all for life, alas...... But it's not easy for you. ”
"No line of work is easy, and it is not easy for you to make such a big family business, Uncle Gao. ”
Gao Jiyong saw his daughter walking out of the kitchen with the cut fruit, so he stopped talking, and extinguished the remaining half of the cigarette, people are old, smoking also has to maintain health, no matter how expensive the cigarette is, the second half will not smoke, drink all the tea, Lu Ze poured it again, Gao Jiyong raised his head, winked at Lu Ze, and winked a little naughty.
"It's good to have dreams, right......."
Gao Jiyong didn't say the second half of the sentence, and it wasn't even necessary to have the second half of the sentence, but Lu Ze thought, probably yes, seeing him staring at himself, Lu Ze also nodded and smiled back.
"What are you talking about, so happy, Brother Ze, eat some fruit, after drinking so much wine, Dad, you eat too, I'll go clean up the room for Brother Ze......"
"Don't bother, I have to go, the cripple is still at home, I won't go back at night, it's time to rebel, I really can't stay overnight tonight, if my uncle and aunt don't mind, I'll come and disturb me another day." ”
Ignoring the obstruction of the three members of the Gao family, Lu Ze insisted on leaving, Gao Peiling knew that the cripple was at home, so she didn't stop too much, but complained that Lu Ze didn't do a good job of preparations, and he had to toss back at night.
After Gao Jiyong called the driver, after a while, a small golden man stopped at the door of the villa, Lu Ze just wanted to say goodbye to the three of them, but saw Gao Jiyong walking out of the room with two boxes of things and handing them to Lu Ze.
"Lao Lu's legs and feet are not very good, I inquired about people, asked for medicine, you take it and give it to Lao Lu to try, external use, not bad people, if it works, tell me, I'll buy some more, this medicine is a bit difficult to buy." ”
Lu Ze looked at the two pill boxes, and then looked at Gao Jiyong, he winked at Lu Ze again, and the hidden deep meaning was only understood by Lu Ze among the people present.
This medicine is only sold in an old Chinese medicine hall in Xiangjiang, it is really difficult to buy, and it is really expensive, Lu Ze used to buy it, and now it is ......
Gao Jiyong understood what Lu Ze meant, so he didn't refuse, and after taking the two boxes of medicine with both hands, he didn't mention that he had bought it, otherwise he would have slapped himself in the face, so he could only smile and thank him, and didn't say a word about this medicine.
"Then thank you, uncle, you bothered, I'll go first, Auntie and Peiling also rested early, I'm really sorry to come to disturb so late, thank you for your hospitality." ”
"It's okay, just send a WeChat message to Xiaoling when you get home, you haven't drunk too much, right? Young people, it's a good thing to have a dream......
The donkey's lips were not in the horse's mouth, which made Gao Peiling laugh out loud, lightly tapped her father's arm, and glanced at Lu Ze teasingly.
"Dad, Brother Ze will be thirty-two in a few months~ Not young, they are all old men. ”
"It's not about age whether you're young or not, mentality is the key, okay, it's too late, be careful on the road. ”
Lu Ze got into the car, told the driver the address, looked out the car window, Gao Jiyong was smiling and waving to him, and then the vehicle started and the vehicle drove out of the villa area.
......
After sending Lu Ze away, the three of them returned home, Gao Peiling also lost her ability at work, nestled on the sofa and stuffed a piece of dragon fruit into her mouth, and hurriedly looked at her parents, wanting to hear their views on Lu Ze, after all, although she has an independent concept, she has a family personality.
"Mom and Dad, how is Brother Ze? Mom, what do you think?"
Gao's mother still has that point of view, she can't be more satisfied with Lu Ze, first of all, she has a good character, she has been watched by the public as a public figure for so many years, but there has been no tainted news, which is enough to prove this, and she also has a good personality, she has a steady atmosphere, she is a person who has seen the world at a glance, and she is shrewd, and she can get ahead in the entertainment industry, it is impossible to be a fool.
As for whether he has money now, it doesn't matter at all, if he gets married in the future, the Gao family goes out of the house and the car, and it doesn't matter if the Lu family doesn't spend a penny, anyway, there is such a daughter in the family, and in another ten or twenty years, the old couple will die, and the family business will have to be kept for the daughter, there will be money, no way, as long as the person is good, he doesn't look at the other party's family at all.
"I think Xiao Lu is very good, Mom doesn't object to you and Xiao Lu, as long as you two have a good relationship, you are not wronged, Mom doesn't care about anything. ”
"Mom, you said that I was a little moved, eat a mouthful of melons, I'll feed you, don't worry, Brother Ze is not the kind of person who has no interest. ”
I inserted a watermelon into my mother's mouth, and saw that my father was still holding his hands in his arms, holding cigarette butts in his hands, and watching TV intently, so he stretched out his feet and gently kicked his father, picked up a cup from the table and drank a sip of tea.
"Dad, can you also express your feelings? How do you feel about Brother Ze?"
"I? I had a good impression of him, but now, I don't recommend that you come along. ”
"Smack......
The teacup fell on the floor and smashed to pieces, Gao Peiling suddenly panicked, her nose felt sour, and she looked at her father in puzzlement, obviously the two had such a good conversation just now, why did her father suddenly turn his face and deny people? She wanted to ask why, and she also took action.
"Why ......?"
Gao Jiyong finally let the smoke burn to the second half very rarely, he didn't look at his daughter, his eyes were still on the actor on TV who just said that acting was not suitable for life.
"His ambition has been worn out, but I can feel it...... He is still eager to act, this kid is very good, but I don't want you to marry a man who only knows the hot kang head of his wife and children, and I don't want you to marry a man who often doesn't come home for a year and a half, like that...... You're not happy. ”
“......”
