Chapter 428: Visiting Father-in-law and Mother-in-law
"Didn't you ask you not to bring anything, and you took so much!"
Meng Ziyi was a little angry, but the joy on his face couldn't be controlled, and he helped him hold the bag together.
"I also brought flowers, so fragrant!"
Zhou Xiao swallowed nervously: "When I came over, I saw it on the side of the road, so I bought a bunch."
"Let's go, let's go up quickly!"
Mencius's house is an ordinary community, there are many residents coming and going, the two of them didn't take the elevator, only on the third floor, it was faster to go up directly, and when they arrived at the door, Zhou Xiao stopped and stood there shaking his shoulders.
"Look at me, clothes are okay, right?"
He didn't wear a formal suit, but a black and white, slightly loose sweater, with jeans, sneakers, and socks that he changed when he went out, for fear of smelling.
"Hmm!" Meng Ziyi took off his hat and flicked his bangs: "Very handsome!"
Drip, drip!
"It's coming, it's coming!" As soon as I entered the door, I heard my aunt's voice.
Zhou Xiao hurriedly changed his smile, and bowed his luggage before anyone could see it clearly: "Hello uncle, good aunt!"
"Eh, hello, hello!" Mother Meng is very thin and tall, although she is fifty years old, she looks like she is in her early forties, and after seeing people, the smile on her face can't be hidden: "Let's change your shoes first, it's hard work along the way, Auntie will cook for you immediately." ”
"No hard work, no hard work. Zhou Xiao hurriedly said.
Father Meng was blessed, standing in front of the sofa with a big belly, wearing reading glasses, and looking up and down at his daughter's boyfriend.
"Don't you let me bring anything, so polite. "A group of people came into the house.
Zhou Xiaozheng didn't know what to say, so he happened to have a topic, and took out the things in his hand and put them on the table: "I heard that my uncle likes to drink some wine, this is a fifteen-year-old Feitian Moutai, and then a local cigarette in Jinling, but you should drink better, smoke less, and it is good for your health."
Ziyi said that you are drinking tea, I asked a friend here to bring a big red robe from Wuyi Mountain to try, Auntie, although it is not too cold now, I also brought you a scarf, and a silk scarf..."
The coffee table is not big, it is full, and Dad Zhou is pleasantly surprised to pick up a bottle of Moutai, this is a good thing, not that it is all wine from fifteen years ago, but it is blended, but it is also very rare, this future son-in-law has a heart.
"Cough..."It's just that his daughter-in-law suddenly coughed a few times and put down the box in a sloppy manner.
"Mom," Meng Ziyi began to assist, picked up the scarf and walked up: "Come, try it, it's your favorite red!"
Mother Meng glanced at her daughter, can she hide this little bit of thought from her? Zhou Xiao can know what color she likes, it is strange, it must be this little cotton jacket with his elbow turned out, it is estimated that it is a black-hearted cotton.
But looking at the style and color, it's really good.
"Zhou Xiao, don't bring cigarettes next time, I'm planning to ask her dad to quit smoking!"
"Uh-huh!" Zhou Xiao nodded repeatedly.
Dad Meng is like a bolt from the blue, what, quit smoking, why don't I know?
Suddenly, it became unpleasant to look at Zhou Xiao, why, more than 30 years of hobbies are gone, this son-in-law is a broom star.
If Zhou Xiao learned that the future father-in-law had already made a small note in his heart, he would probably regret bringing cigarettes to death.
However, the ginseng in Changbai Mountain is very pleasing, after all, the two are old and very interested in health preservation, and they have the impression that ginseng is a good thing, and in general, the gift is quite qualified.
The aunt carefully put away the scarf, put the other things away and brought him a glass of water, Zhou Xiao didn't drink it after taking it, and when he got it in his hand, he had time to see the home where his girlfriend had lived for more than 20 years. (There is a modification of the family background, and it must be brought into reality)
The living room is not small, there are more than 20 square meters, the sofa looks a little old, the armrests have been broken, covered with a square scarf, the TV cabinet is new, and the photos of Meng Ziyi are placed on it, the water on the coffee table is already boiling, and Meng's father took out a pack of big red robes to prepare for brewing.
On the left is a large balcony, the two seem to be very fond of plants, planting a lot of flowers and plants, on the right is the dining room, the kitchen, everywhere reveals the breath of life.
"It's so fragrant!" Zhou Xiao smelled.
"Stewed a big bone broth, Auntie knows you've been working hard lately. Mother Meng said with a smile, this will not be the meal yet, it belongs to the question time: "Zhou Xiao, how old are you?"
"27, Auntie, two years older than Ziyi. Zhou Xiao sat up straight.
He didn't believe that Mencius didn't tell his parents this, but if he wanted to ask, he still had to answer honestly.
"When did you meet?"
"The year before last, the meeting was preparing for a TV series, and the director suggested that a few of us actors get to know each other in advance, and Ziyi arrived in Jinling. Zhou Xiao glanced at his girlfriend with a smile, a good memory.
"That's it?"
Zhou Xiao was a little strange, why didn't it feel like an interrogation, it was more... Gossip?
He quickly expelled this strange idea from his mind, how could it be gossip, he definitely wanted to be crooked.
"No, they were still friends at that time, but I had a good impression, and we were really together before the Chinese New Year last year. ”
Mother Meng nodded: "That's been more than a year, have you ever quarreled?"
"No, it's rare to see each other in normal times, and I don't have time to quarrel. ”
"So are you going to go on a date secretly?"
"Mom—" Meng Ziyi shook his mother's arm.
"Okay, okay, don't ask about that. The aunt seemed to be a little regretful: "I won't tell you, Ziyi said a few days ago that he was going to take his boyfriend home, and the two of us thought it was a joke, and then said that it was you, we both didn't believe it!"
"Why?" said Zhou Xiao with a smile.
"Drink tea!" Father Meng interjected coldly.
"Eh, thank you, uncle. Zhou Xiao hurriedly put down the cup, picked up the teacup, and smelled the fragrance, it was not bad, it was bought with the help of the cauldron.
The future father-in-law took a sip and nodded in satisfaction.
"I haven't found any signs at all!" The aunt patted her daughter's hand, feeling a little strange in her heart, saying that she had been talking for more than a year before she spoke, but now is not the time to settle accounts: "I heard that you took her to see her parents last year, right, why did you think about coming to visit us now." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm to blame for this, it's mainly because I'm too busy, and... A little scared!" Zhou Xiao took all the responsibility on his shoulders.
"Scared?" Father Meng looked up: "What are you afraid of?
"No, it's mainly because I'm worried that I'm not good enough to be worthy of Ziyi, and if you don't agree to be together with the two of us, it will be very sad. ”
"Tsk, this mouth is so sweet. The aunt glanced at her husband: "Isn't it good to listen to the news that you can see you on TV." ”
Father Meng silently poured tea for his son-in-law: "So when we went to the movies two days ago, I kept boasting and boasting, just to prepare for today." ”
Mencius is embarrassed!
"What do your parents think of Ziyi?"
"They all like her very much, they didn't go during the Chinese New Year, they regretted it, and said that when the time was almost up, they wanted to meet you. Zhou Xiao said obediently.
"yes, that's good, that's good. Auntie put her mind at ease: "That movie, is it really you who made it? Now it has a box office of more than 800 million, isn't it very profitable." ”
"Mom," Mencius shouted.
"What's this, I can't care about my son-in-law's income. Mother Meng looked at Zhou Xiao with a straight face: "Don't blame Auntie Shiyu, we are such a daughter, of course I hope she will live a happy life, at least don't worry too much about money." ”
"It should be!" Zhou Xiao can understand: "The box office is more than 800 million, which is to be shared, first of all, the theater will take nearly half, and then deduct various expenses, my remuneration is 2 million." ”
"Isn't that similar to Ziyi's. Father Meng said casually: "Save a little, you can buy a big house in 2-3 years, which is very good." ”
Mencius snickered on the side.
"What's wrong, isn't what your father said, it's higher than your previous pay, you really have a fixed income of millions a year, Zhou Xiao is very powerful. ”
Zhou Xiao and his girlfriend looked at each other, smiling without saying a word.
"By the way, have you bought a house, or do you plan to buy it, where are you going to live in the future?" Auntie's question is similar to that of ordinary parents: "If you go to live in the magic capital, the money is not enough, the two of us have worked all our lives, and we still have some savings, we can support you, but we have to wait until we get the certificate." ”
Meng Ziyi was stunned: "Mom, I can make money myself, I don't need yours." ”
"We all know that celebrities like to live in Modu or Yanjing, how expensive the house is, and the two of us have nothing else to spend money on. ”
"Auntie, I have a house. Zhou Xiao hurriedly said: "I bought two sets in Jinling the year before last, one is where my parents live, one is taken out for rent, and then at the beginning of the year, I bought a villa in the magic capital, more than 400 square meters, three floors, and the two million for making movies are just remuneration, I still have a five-percent box office commission, it is estimated that there is more than 10 million, "The Wandering Earth", which was released some time ago, I also have an investment, and the current company..."
Be quiet...
Although the daughter is a star, the two of them don't understand the entertainment industry, and they said that they found a boyfriend and are cooperative actors, so they thought that their earning power was about the same, and they had to make money if they had a film, and they had to eat their old books if they didn't have a show.
I didn't expect that it was so capable, and the villa in the magic capital, to say the least, was tens of millions, which was a bit scary!
"So you don't have to worry about it at all. Zhou Xiao whispered.
"Ahh Xiao Zhou, drink tea, drink tea!"
......
When he came out of the house of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, it was already more than nine o'clock, Zhou Xiao was a little drunk, he couldn't drive, and he didn't dare to call a substitute driver, so he asked Lin Shan to run.
Meng Ziyi accompanied him downstairs, and the two sat in the car first.
"How long will it take? ”
"It's about half an hour, you can sit with me for a while. Zhou Xiao's face was flushed, and he was very uncomfortable.
Meng Ziyi nodded and handed over the yogurt: "Drink a little, your stomach will be more comfortable." ”
She couldn't say that she wouldn't drink it, her boyfriend wanted to behave better in front of her parents, and never mentioned the general fact that she drank alcohol, and drank three glasses of liquor in a row, if she hadn't persuaded her, it was estimated that she would have to pour it immediately.
Zhou Xiao gulped a few sips of yogurt and sighed: "Will your parents dislike me?"
"How come?" Meng Ziyi smiled: "Not to mention how satisfied, it's just a little, the amount of alcohol is too poor, almost all of us people in the Northeast can drink, but my mother must be happy, she doesn't like my dad drinking the most." ”
"Hahaha!" Zhou Xiao suddenly laughed: "What, what will I do in the future, if our two mothers meet, then dads..."
That's right, Zhou's mother is also in charge of Zhou's father's drinking, and they won't exchange experiences with each other at that time.
"My mother asked what you earned, are you angry?" said Meng Ziyi cautiously.
Zhou Xiao hiccuped, and his mouth was full of white wine: "What's so angry, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, whose children are not treasures, and they are willing to take out their savings to us, it's too late to be moved, hiccup..."
"They're really not philistine!"
"Understood, understood. Zhou Xiao stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his girlfriend's face: "Do you want to go with me?"
Meng Ziyi was very moved, and after thinking about it, he shook his head: "Forget it, if you leave later tomorrow, I'll go to you." ”
"Hmm. Zhou Xiao didn't embarrass her, the two of them haven't got their certificates yet, so it's better to be reserved in front of their parents.
