Chapter Seventy-Seven: Meet the Parents
It was probably because Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were too anxious to catch such an excellent son-in-law, and the next day coincided with the weekend, and Wang Kenan received an invitation from Zhao's father and Zhao's mother to be a guest at home.
As soon as He Hua came back from exercising in the community, he was grabbed by Zhao's mother and reprimanded: "Look at you, you are dressed so casually, Xiao Wang is coming over today, can't you dress up well?"
"Xiao Wang, which Xiao Wang?" He Hua sat at the dining table eating Zhao's mother's newly fried fritters, and sighed that Zhao's mother's heat was getting better and better.
"Which other Xiao Wang, of course it's Wang Kenan!" Zhao's mother took out the abalone in the refrigerator and looked at the sea cucumber again, a little uncertain: "Do you say Xiao Wang likes to eat abalone or sea cucumber?"
When He Hua heard that Wang Kenan was going to come over today, he squirted out the porridge in his mouth, this guy didn't say yesterday that he was going to come over today! What kind of madness is this scourge!
Thinking of Wang Kenan's swishing appearance between his words yesterday, He Hua had a little itchy teeth. That guy even said that he had a beautiful skin, and if someone else found out that he thought he had crossed over, he would be sent back to a mental hospital.
also boasted that only he could ignore these things, and reluctantly accept himself for the sake of the country and the people. It's a narcissist, it's unreasonable!
"Look at you, it's not good to eat. Where did you go with your dignified energy in the first few days when you came back, so adult...... It's just that Xiao Wang doesn't dislike you. Mother Zhao silently chattered and counted Hehua again, and then turned to rummage in the refrigerator.
Xiao Wang doesn't dislike me...... He Huaya gritted his teeth and muttered silently, is Zhao Xiaozi really born to Zhao's father and Zhao's mother? Finally, when I returned home, the sea cucumber and abalone didn't say that I would take it out for myself to eat, and it was cheaper for an outsider.
Every day at home, it's either this dislike or that dislike, and I'm always worried that such an excellent girl can't get married, so it's not biological.
Zhao's mother was still muttering: "Why don't you make a scallion roasted sea cucumber?" I watched TV a few days ago, and it's not difficult to do it." But the abalone is not bad, they all say that a bite of abalone and a bite of gold, it is rare for Xiao Wang to come once......"
"Mom, he's already been here once yesterday......" He Hua reminded him.
"Yesterday doesn't count, yesterday was not official, today is formal, it has to be grand. Mother Zhao replied, but the movements in her hands did not stop.
"When did you invite him, who knows if he will come?!"
"Come, definitely come, your father's call this morning has already said that he will come over for lunch. β
He Hua took out his phone and glanced at it, half past seven. "Mom, it's a big weekend, is it really okay for you to call people so early?"
"What do you know, what your dad said, is to see if he's a thrifty man. Luckily, when your dad called him, he was already up and said he was working out. β
Mother Zhao's face was full of smiles, and her satisfaction grew: "By the way, did you know each other when you were working out?"
"No, we met in a mental hospital!" As soon as the words came out, Hehua couldn't wait to bite off his tongue, how could he mention this stubble!
Zhao's mother really stopped what she was doing, and asked suspiciously, "Mental hospital, how did you know each other there?"
"Uh...... Well, we're all going there for something. β
"What can it be? You...... It's possible that you're in contact with neurosis, psychology. You see what major you chose and what psychology you studied......"
He Hua hurriedly interrupted Zhao's mother's words: "Mom, I studied psychology, not psychiatry, we don't have contact with mental patients, that time there was something else." β
"What about Wang Kenan, what is the matter with him going there?"
Seeing that Zhao's mother Xiao Wang didn't scream anymore, he became Wang Kenan again. He Hua couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't he an editor, he was chasing a writer that time." β
"Well, I say...... Looking at Xiao Wang, it doesn't look like there's something wrong. Mother Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom~~~" He Hua was about to speak, when he remembered the sound of kicking the door outside the door. No, it's so early? He Hua glanced at Zhao's mother in confusion.
It was Zhao's mother who reacted first: "It must be your dad who came back from grocery shopping, and the sound of kicking the door must be him!"
"Then you're really a god, I'll kick it twice when I turn around and see if you can tell if it'......" Hehua opened the door as he said poorly.
The first thing that caught my eye was several huge bags in Zhao's father's hands. No wonder you kicked the door. "Dad, you're moving the supermarket back, right?!"
He Hua stretched out his hand to take the bag, but was avoided by Zhao's father: "No need for you, you can rest." It's too heavy, don't tire you down......"
"It's still my father's own father! I've been back for so many days, and my mother hasn't brought me anything good to eat, and she still dislikes me. It's just that Dad feels sorry for me......" He Hua symbolically leaned his head on Zhao's father's shoulder and sprinkled coquettishly.
"What's a good thing? Why don't I know?" Zhao's father put down the things in his hand, and Zhao's mother also came over and began to help clean up.
"As for the sea cucumber and abalone sent by the coastal colleague in your unit, didn't I forget it, I only remembered it yesterday. β
"You can take care of the family, it's been so long, my daughter and I haven't eaten, and it's cheaper for an outsider at this time. β
"Hey, didn't you say that Xiao Wang was good yesterday?" Zhao's mother glanced at Zhao's father in surprise, didn't he propose to invite him to come and sit down yesterday.
Zhao's father's face was a little unnatural, he naturally wouldn't say that he thought that his daughter would marry in the future, and then she would become someone else's family, he was a little awkward.
"Dad, why are you buying watermelons in the winter? The watermelons are not delicious now......" Hehua has already begun to sort out the things that Zhao's father bought.
"I'm not here to see how Xiao Wang eats, don't underestimate this watermelon. That's how I ate watermelon back then. Father Zhao opened his mouth seriously.
"Come on, come on, it's okay to talk about Chen Sesame and rotten grain. Mother Zhao hurriedly interrupted Zhao's father's words.
He Hua immediately found out that there was a story in it, his eyes flashed with a thick color of gossip, and he gently bumped Zhao's mother with his elbow: "Mom, tell me, what's going on!"
In the end, Zhao's father couldn't bear Hehua's crooked entanglement and said the reason.
At that time, the two also met through someone else's introduction, it was summer, and it coincided with a water and power outage, so the introducer had to go out and buy a chilled watermelon to come back to relieve the heat.
At that time, watermelon was still a precious thing, and the introducer only brought out a quarter and cut it into four pieces. Zhao's father, who was still half a young man, ate two pieces in a blink of an eye, but Zhao's mother broke a small piece on one piece and ate it.
Father Zhao thought at that time, this girl is really Sven, chewing slowly. He was also thrifty, kept all the good things to himself, and was very satisfied at that time. After getting married, Zhao's father knew the truth.
That day, Zhao's mother unfortunately came to the menstrual period, and she didn't dare to touch it at all, but she was really hot and thirsty. That's why I broke off a small piece to quench my thirst, and as for chewing and swallowing slowly, it was naturally to let the cold watermelon be covered in my mouth and then enter my stomach.
"Although it was a misunderstanding at the time, I have to admit that there are many things that can be seen from the way a person eats. Looking at a happy Hehua, Zhao's father explained seriously.
"But now a watermelon is nothing, and there is no water and electricity outage today!" Hehua couldn't help but laugh.
"This ......" Zhao's father was also a little short of words, but the majesty of his parents made him say confidently: "You are still young, what do you know, don't you know if you see a little knowledge!" Okay, you hurry up and clean up, what does such an unkempt look like, and change your clothes, it's too naΓ―ve." β
He Hua glanced at himself in the mirror, his hair was indeed a little loose after exercise, but it also had a lazy style;
Although he was slanderous in his heart, he disagreed with Zhao's father's words. But after all, it was the eldest parent who spoke, and he couldn't help but listen, so he went back to the bedroom to clean up.
Besides, Wang Kenan's side, he received a call from Zhao's father at seven o'clock this morning inviting him to be a guest at home, and Wang Kenan was flattered and felt reasonable at the same time.
After hanging up the phone, he thought about it. If it's okay to just go to a friend's house, it's okay to do whatever it wants. But after all, he has a little meaning for Zhao Xiaozi, and Zhao's father's meaning is also obvious. Naturally, the attitude has to be different.
First of all, you can't be too casual in dressing, Wang Kenan wishfully thinks that this is to see his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. Fortunately, after becoming the deputy editor-in-chief, I also have a few sets of formal clothes to support the scene, so I won't be blind.
And then you have to bring the gifts of the past, and the first official visit, you have to prepare some gifts to be like words. However, it should not be too heavy, the gift will put too much pressure on Hehua, and it should not be too light, too light to appear that you do not pay attention to it.
In the end, it's time to go, if you go early, you seem too anxious, and if you go late, you look disrespectful.
After thinking about it secretly for a while, Wang Kenan decided not to be too grand first, after all, he liked Zhao Xiaozi, not her parents. You can't force Zhao Xiaozi to please her parents.
Despite this, Wang Kenan cautiously picked a casual suit, with a pair of orthodox slacks underneath. I went to the supermarket and bought some tropical fruits, plus two bottles of good wine. By the time he got downstairs at Hehua's house, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
took out his mobile phone and took a photo, it was the most beautiful time in a man's life, fading away from the youth, with the precipitation of the years, but still full of passion for life.
The chubby body has become muscular because of the exercise at all times, well-dressed and smiling. Well, yes, if that doesn't satisfy the Hehua family, that's ...... Ahem, it should be satisfying.
Wang Kenan bared his teeth at the mobile phone camera, took a deep breath, and danced his fist to cheer himself up.
After doing it, I felt a little silly, and looked around, but fortunately there was no one nearby. Wang Kenan despised himself fiercely in his heart: I've seen so many big scenes, what's there to be nervous about this little thing! They should be nervous.
