Zhang Bai did not go back to his apartment, but went back to Zhang's house.

Shen Jing was at home, and when she saw him come back suddenly, she immediately greeted him very happily, "Little four, you're back." ”

Zhang Bai handed the suitcase in his hand to the aunt who was standing on the side, and said to Shen Jing while changing his shoes, "Mom, I have something to discuss with you." ”

The fourth child of her family rarely discussed anything with her, and when Shen Jing heard it, she thought something was wrong, and her expression became nervous, "What's wrong?"

"It's not a big deal," Zhang Bai walked with her to the living room, "the matter between me and Xu Ai." ”

"Xu Ai?"

"It's the flower shop owner I was chasing. ”

Shen Jing became interested when she heard this, and as soon as the two sat down on the sofa, she urged him to ask, "You caught up with the girl?"

"Well, but it seems to have run into something today. ”

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Bai told the future father-in-law about the sudden arrival of his father-in-law, and finally said to Shen Jing helplessly, "His father probably has some opinions about me. ”

Shen Jing was happy to hear it, "Did you do something bad to other girls?"

"Mom," Zhang Bai had a headache, "Can you get to the point?"

"What's the point?"

Zhang Bai supported his forehead with his hand and frowned slightly, "Now his father is a little unkind to see me, you can help me make an idea, what should I do next?"

Seeing her son's distressed and depressed appearance, Shen Jing felt that he was too cute.

Her fourth child has been a particularly worry-free child since she was a child, and when she grew up, she was even more worry-free, which made Shen Jing feel a little sad, and didn't let her know anything, sometimes making her feel that this child was not close to her.

Therefore, seeing Zhang Bai like this at this moment, Shen Jing felt that this was her son, a person of flesh and blood.

It is rare for her son to ask her for help, so Shen Jing naturally goes all out.

She pondered for a moment, and then gave Zhang Bai an idea, "At the beginning, your father went to learn chess in order to marry me, your grandfather loves chess, and your father went to the house to play chess with him when he was fine, I remember the first time he played chess with you and my grandfather, your grandfather ignored him the whole time because he didn't want to see him, but your father was so cheeky and begged him to play for two months, and your grandfather agreed to marry me to him." ”

Zhang Bai, "Our political commissar Zhang is indeed good at attacking the heart. ”

"You first ask the girl what her father's hobbies are, and then do what she likes, step by step, don't be anxious, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. ”

Zhang Bai felt that it made sense, "I'll ask her later." ”

After solving the problem, Shen Jing couldn't help but ask him curiously, "How far have you and the girl developed?"

Zhang Bai glanced at her, got up from the sofa, and walked to the restaurant, "Is dinner ready?"

The aunt who was standing on the side hurriedly said, "It's already been good, I'll tell them to set the meal." ”

Shen Jing followed him and said with a smile, "You won't still stay in the stage of holding hands, will you?"

"In your eyes, your son is so unattractive?"

"My son is naturally attractive, but your emotional intelligence is too low, and like your sister, you can't fall in love. After speaking, she chased after her, grabbed Zhang Bai's arm, and wanted to give him an idea, "Why don't you have a few tricks for your mother?"

Zhang Bai glanced at her, "How did you hook my dad in the first place?"

"Dead child," Shen Jing raised her hand to hammer him, "Mom is all for your good, in love, it's okay for women to be reserved, if men are also reserved, they only dare to say but dare not do it, then you just wait for your daughter-in-law to be snatched away." ”

"She won't. ”

"Hey, you're pretty confident. ”

Zhang Bai smiled but did not speak.

......

The next day, Zhang Bai went to the unit first, and was busy until noon before going to the flower shop to find Xu Ai.

There was a customer in the store who was picking flowers, Xu Ai was busy, he asked her if she had eaten, Xu Ai said that she hadn't, so he went to the neighborhood to pack the food and bring it over.

By the time he got back to the shop, the customers who had bought the flowers had already left.

The two sat in front of the coffee table to eat, and Zhang Bai asked her, "When do you plan to stop work?"

"My dad had already bought a ticket for the day after tomorrow, and he had to ask me to go back with him. ”

When Zhang Bai heard this, he frowned, "So fast?"

Xu Ai looked up at him with apology in his eyes, "I didn't expect that in the past, I would open a store every year and not go back until the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month." ”

Zhang Bai didn't speak again, he knew in his heart that Father Xu did this because of him.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Ai's finger poked him, and when he looked up, she grinned at him, "Don't be unhappy, I'll come over early after the New Year." ”

"That's not what I meant," Zhang Bai looked at her, "I came here today in addition to accompanying you, there is another thing to ask you." ”

"You say. ”

"What are your dad's hobbies?"

Xu Ai was stunned for a moment, and then became happy, "Are you going to do what he likes?"

Zhang Bai also smiled embarrassedly, "If doing what he likes can make him change his attitude and opinion on me, I am willing to go all out." ”

His words made Xu Ai's heart warm.

She lifted her upper body, leaned over to him, kissed him on the face, retracted her body, and smiled at him with a delicate face, "Officer Zhang, I like you so much." ”

Zhang Bai smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking at her with a deep look in his eyes, "If you like it, kiss it again." ”

looked at him coquettishly, and Xu Ai said to him, "Think beautifully, talk about business." ”

After she finished speaking, her face straightened, "My dad is actually quite boring, most of his life has been devoted to his archaeological research, if there is anything he is most interested in, it is antiquities." ”

Antique?

Zhang Bai nodded slightly in his heart, this is easy to do, he has a lot of antiquities, and the books in the room in the backyard are antiques.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Ai was a little worried, "Isn't it too difficult?" If it's difficult, forget it, don't look at him so fierce yesterday, in fact, he hurts me a lot, as long as I cry, he will be soft-hearted." ”

"It's not difficult," Zhang Bai said with a smile, "Just now I was worried about whether your father would be interested in playing chess and calligraphy, I was not interested in those things since I was a child, but antiquities, this is simple." ”

"Simple?" Xu Ai was shocked, "Officer Zhang, what he is interested in is antiquities, do you know what antiquities are? They are all hundreds of thousands of years old, do you have them?"

"Not much. ”

"Not much?" Xu Ai was shocked again, she put down the chopsticks in her hand and asked Zhang Bai seriously, "Is your family very rich?"

Zhang Bai ate without raising his head, "It's okay." ”

"How good is it?"

"It's a little more money than the average person. ”

Xu Ai spoke tentatively, "Your family won't be a wealthy family, right?"

Zhang Bai looked up at her, smiled at the corners of his lips, and put down the chopsticks in his hand, "If you really want to know, I can take you to meet your parents in advance." ”

"Don't, don't," Xu Ai panicked, waving his hand and shaking his head, "I'm not ready yet." ”

"Don't prepare, my parents are looking forward to seeing you. ”

"Huh?" Xu Ai panicked even more, "They all know about me?"

"Well, since before we were officially together. ”

“....... You told me to be quiet. ”

With Zhang Bai, Xu Ai always thought that his family didn't know.

Who knows, people have known her for a long time.

What's the matter with being so shy, so nervous, so nervous?

Seeing her cheeks crimson, Zhang Bai thought she was shy, so he smiled and said, "The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, you don't have to be shy." ”

"Who's shy?"

Xu Ai glared at him lightly, "I'm so thick-skinned, how can I be shy?"

"Then why are you red?"

Xu Ai immediately covered her face with her hand, it was hot, but she still had a hard mouth, "It's hot, I'll be hot." ”

But in exchange for Zhang Bai's chuckle.

Xu Ai raised his hand and was about to hammer him, but was grabbed by Zhang Bai and dragged directly into his arms.

Carried into his arms, Xu Ai struggled slightly, leaned on his chest, and whispered while playing with the buttons on his police uniform with his hands, "I'm just nervous." ”

"Don't be nervous, if you don't want to see it, you can not see it, and when you're ready, I'll take you home." ”

Xu Ai nodded, snuggled in his arms and stopped talking.

Zhang Bai hugged her, gently rubbed his chin against the top of her soft hair, and after a while, he discussed with her in a low voice, "What time will you get the car the day after tomorrow?"

"It seems to be early in the morning, and he is in a hurry. ”

"You can send it to me when you ask for the specific time, and I will send it to you the day after tomorrow. ”

"No, we can just take a taxi and it's convenient. ”

"I'll send you!" Zhang Bai insisted, "Send me the time." ”

"Okay. ”

"I booked a private room at the 'Qing Palace' this morning, and tomorrow evening I invite you to have a meal with my future father-in-law. ”

When Xu Ai heard this, he looked up at him, "Please eat?"

"Well, he is your father and my future father-in-law, even if he is not very satisfied with me now, I still have to do the basic etiquette, a light meal, please give him a face. ”

Xu Ai pursed her lips and snickered, "Okay, I'll go back and talk to him tonight." ”

"Well, I'll wait for your news. ”

......

In the afternoon of the same day, after Zhang Bai left, Xu Ai did the year-end processing activities.

Because she posted the news of the New Year's discount event in the WeChat customer group, many old customers who live nearby have come.

The flowers and plants in the store are all 50% off, and the customers who come to each buy a lot of them, and in one afternoon, Xu Ai's flower shop was almost emptied.

Before closing, she packed up the few remaining plants and flowers, and gave some to the proprietress of the coffee shop next door, and the other part to the fat brother at the hot pot restaurant opposite, thanking him for his help last time.

After all this, she drove home.

At home, Xu's father had already prepared dinner, and when he saw Xu Ai coming back, he immediately asked her to wash her hands and prepare for dinner.

Xu's father is a good cook, Xu Ai was busy all afternoon and was hungry, and he began to only care about eating, forgetting what Zhang Bai told her.

It wasn't until she was almost done eating that she remembered.

So he asked Father Xu, who had finished eating and was drinking slowly with a teacup, and opened his mouth with a pleasant smile, "Dad, I have something to tell you." ”

Father Xu lifted his eyelids at her and snorted coldly, "With a flattering smile, I must not have held back my fart." ”
