Chapter 209: The future son-in-law comes to pay New Year's greetings
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Lei got three days off, and immediately drove to her hometown with Gu Yan to pay New Year's greetings.
The day before departure, Qin Wan and Gu Yan went to the supermarket together to pick up a lot of gifts that were not very expensive but looked very high-grade.
Originally, Qin Wan was thinking that Qin Lei would show sincerity when he came to the door for the first time and buy some better gifts.
Gu Yan disagreed, she said that the family was not worthy of being good to them, they just needed to be fooled, and it was better to keep it for the children to buy diapers for the children if they had money.
When Qin Wan heard this, her first reaction was that Gu Yan was pregnant with a baby?
Gu Yan covered her mouth and snickered: "Sister, why are you so naΓ―ve, I just made an analogy, how could you have a baby without getting married?"
And Ah Qin Lei, that fool, when I lived in that small house, he lived in Lin Yang's room and I lived in yours.
At night, he locked the door of his room, for fear that I would go in and eat him. β
Listening to Gu Yan's resentful words, Qin Wan was also stunned, is Qin Lei so gentlemanly now?
She remembered that Lili's ex-girlfriend had really lived together for a long time.
"Yan Yan, isn't that great? Don't let him touch it until you get married. Qin Wan covered her mouth, feeling that it was a bit inappropriate for her sister-in-law and her prospective brother-in-law to talk about such a private topic in public, so she quickly changed the topic.
Qin Lei didn't have any opinion when she saw the gifts prepared by her sister and Gu Yan, she was worried about her when she was with Lili before.
After being with Gu Yan, Qin Lei's thoughts about her were inexplicably different, just like raising a pot of good flowers at home, he just wanted to take good care of her, and had no other thoughts.
And when Gu Yan said that he was going to her house, Qin Lei resisted, and he didn't know why he was afraid.
may be afraid that her family will embarrass herself, or she may be afraid that she will not be able to be together in the future after going to her house, which will make others leave a bad impression on her that men are bringing home one after another.
Also, he knew very well his parents' attitude towards Gu Yan, and he didn't look down on Gu Yan at all, so he was afraid that he would do too much to Gu Yan, and she would suffer in the end.
Along the way, Qin Lei drove, and Gu Yan told him about the situation at home, with indifference and coldness in his tone, and Qin Lei felt distressed when he listened.
In the past, Gu Yan rarely mentioned his family, and Qin Lei asked a few words.
Now that I have taken the initiative to mention it, I am still worried that Qin Lei is too simple, and he will not be cheated by relatives of so many forces.
You must know that the marriage atmosphere in the countryside is getting worse and worse, although Qin Lei is nominally going to visit the New Year this time, those relatives in the family will definitely go out to see the excitement with the whole family.
When the time comes, if he says something excessive or unserious, and then scares Qin Lei away, then Gu Yan will definitely fight with those relatives.
I vaccinated Qin Lei in advance in the hope that he could have a bottom in his heart, so as not to be embarrassed when he arrived, Gu Yan still cared about Qin Lei's feelings very much.
"Don't worry, Yan Yan, why am I also a village official who has been to the countryside, how can I speak and answer me.
I won't take anything my relatives say to heart, I only care about you. Qin Lei turned his head and smiled at Gu Yan.
After more than two hours of driving, the car turned onto the rural cement road to Gu Yan's house, where electric tricycles and two-wheeled motorcycles shuttled back and forth.
Most of them are visiting relatives for the New Year, and the people in the car will carry boxes of wine or whole boxes of yogurt.
Qin Lei slowed down and drove forward slowly, mainly because the cement road was relatively narrow, and if it was too fast, he would fall into the farmland on both sides if he couldn't dodge.
The small trees planted on the side of the road are only as thick as a wrist, and there is no blocking effect at all, and there are no railings to block it, and from time to time you can see the traces of wheels sliding down on the side of the road.
Qin Lei slowed down when he saw those traces.
"How far is it?" The high concentration made Qin Lei feel too tired to drive on such a road.
"Three thousand meters from now, it's almost there. Gu Yan reached out and touched Qin Lei's hand on the steering wheel to comfort him, she also knew that driving on such a narrow road was more tiring than on a crowded city road.
Before she reached the fork in the road that Gu Yan said, Gu Yan saw her younger brothers standing on the side of the road.
These teenage boys saw Gu Yan early and waved at her and smiled sweetly.
Gu Yan got out of the car early to greet her younger brothers, when the children were young, they were very simple and not so snobbish, so Gu Yan knew that her younger brothers really missed her so far to meet her.
Gu Yan and his younger brothers walked in front to lead Qin Lei, and finally stopped in front of a very large and spacious courtyard gate.
Qin Lei stopped the car and took out the gifts from the trunk, Gu Yan's younger brothers came over to help with a smile, and then took the things and went in through the gate shouting that his sister and brother-in-law had arrived home.
Originally, Qin Lei was still a little apprehensive, but the sentence "I'm home" shouted by his younger brothers was "I'm home." "Let his heart warm for a while, when he gets home, what is there to be afraid of?
Gu Yan's parents walked out of the gate while wiping their hands with their aprons.
"Kid, are you tired? Go in and have a drink. Gu Yan's father's face was a little yellow, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deep when he smiled. But the voice of the voice sounded very kind.
Gu Yan's mother was also looking at Qin Lei with a smile and pointing to the door to signal him to enter.
Qin Lei walked in with both hands to help Gu Yan's father, originally he wanted to shake hands with him, but Gu Yan's father didn't seem to mean that, so Qin Lei changed it to help him.
Inside the gate is an ordinary yard of more than 50 people, the ground is concrete, planted with some flowers and plants, and a row of low houses against the wall are the kitchen and the bathroom, with tall solar brackets and water tanks erected on them.
The gate is connected by a red brick wall that encloses a small two-story building with three upper and three lower floors.
Gu Yan's father enthusiastically pulled Qin Lei into the hall and sat on the wooden sofa, the sofa was a little hard and cold without cushions, Qin Lei still had a smile on his face.
But as soon as he sat down, there was a commotion in the courtyard.
"Yan Yan is back, right?"
"I heard you're back with a boyfriend?"
"I heard it's from the city!"
......
Gu Yan frowned and looked at the courtyard, those relatives she hated came faster than she thought.
The younger brothers who picked her up just now also came in with those relatives, and Gu Yan knew that they must have gone back to report the news.
When these cousins and distant cousins picked her up just now, she was still moved, but now she knows that she is just a scout.
Gu Yan's father and mother went to the courtyard to greet those relatives.
"Sister-in-law, the future son-in-law is indispensable to accompany the guests, and I will have two drinks with my niece and son-in-law at noon. β
"Third brother, you can't speak, I'll help you here at noon in a while, cook more. β
.......
Gu Yan turned his head in annoyance as he listened to the words of those relatives and looked at Qin Lei.
"It's okay, I can handle it. Qin Lei comforted her.
