Chapter 45: Meet your parents-in-law
Yin Li has a sensitive insight and a sixth sense, and she vaguely feels that Qiao Xuansheng's residence in Kenya must be full of bad memories.
She looked up at Qiao Xuansheng with an inquiry.
"Okay, listen to you. "Qiao Xuansheng hasn't heard the word home for a long time.
The three of them packed up the necessary items, and Yin Li dialed her mother's phone.
"Hey.. Feed.... The signal is not good, I'll make a long story short, you send the address to my phone, and we'll go over now. Yin Li pulled his throat into the earpiece, "The signal is too bad, so be it, wait for your text message." β
"The signal here is too bad. Yin Li sighed infinitely.
"The signal here is weak, so we use walkie-talkies. Qiao Xuan responded, but remembered in his heart that Yin Li was in Japan, but the place of reception was Kenya.
His little oriole is very powerful.
After a short text message arrived, Yin Li and the three drove to the Kenya Nature Reserve, where Yin Li knew that her parents would only stay in the reserve for about 10 days before continuing eastward, and that if she followed them any longer, she would be a burden to them.
It was about 1 a.m. when they arrived at the reserve's residence, and it was very dangerous to drive on the grassland at night with headlights on, and the animals didn't like the thing called the lamp, which was invented by humans. Although they were chased by a lioness who was presumably a night hunt on the way, they finally arrived safely at their residence.
As soon as the car stopped, Yin Li's parents, who had been waiting at the door of the residence for a long time, greeted them one after another, and at this time, Yin Li was already asleep in Qiao Xuansheng's arms.
"Hello," Qiao Xuansheng got out of the car with Yin Li in his arms, and his voice was extremely soft, "Li'er is asleep, let's take her into the house first." β
"Oh, okay, okay. Yin's father was stunned for a moment before he reacted: his oriole was held by a man.
"Let's go this way..."Yin's mother was also stunned, she only knew that Yin Li came with a friend, but she didn't know that she came with such a handsome friend. Could it be a boyfriend, thinking of this, Yin's mother was excited.
Although the room was simpler, it was very clean, Qiao Xuansheng took off Yin Li's coat and covered her with a quilt before turning off the lights and walking out of the door.
When he did all this, his movements were gentle and careful, for fear of waking Yin Li, all of which was seen in the shining eyes of Yin's mother standing at the door.
"Hello, may I ask who you are?" Father Yin couldn't help it, and couldn't wait to open the question to Qiao Xuansheng who walked into the front hall.
"Uncle Yin, we've met before," Qiao Xuansheng smiled politely, "When Li'er was a hundred years old, my grandfather took me to see her. β
"Your grandfather?" Yin's father paused, as if trying to regain his memory, "I'm really sorry, I really can't remember, take the liberty of asking, who is your grandfather?"
"When Li'er was 100 years old, her grandfather threw a big banquet, and we were so busy at the time, I really didn't have any impression, sorry. Yin's mother also frowned, looking embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, I was only 6 years old at the time, my grandfather's surname is Qiao, and I am close friends with Grandpa Yin. Qiao Xuansheng continued to laugh.
He finally understood why Yin Li's parents were willing to let her go and come to this inaccessible African savannah. In their hearts, any character or thing is not as important as what they pursue and explore, so regardless of whether it is Qiao Siye or Li Siye, in their eyes, it is definitely not as important as a jackal on this grassland.
So they didn't remember his grandfather at all, let alone his hairy boy.
After Yang Le parked the car, he knocked on the door, and Yin's mother went to open the door and welcomed him in. As soon as he entered the door, he found that Qiao Xuansheng was still standing, and immediately made up the scene of Qiao Xuansheng being interrogated and suppressed by his parents-in-law, and he felt very interesting.
Qiao Xuansheng was actually quite helpless, for these two future parents-in-law who had never asked him to sit down, he could only comfort himself with the fact that these two people were scientists, and scientists generally did not have much understanding in dealing with things.
He never wanted to admit that such a good self was not in their eyes.
"The surname is Qiao..."Father Yin's eyes were blank and his face was full of embarrassment, "It's really old, and I can't remember a lot of things." β
"Let's not worry about this question, okay," Yin's mother would go down the stairs for her husband and herself, she smiled and continued to ask Qiao Xuansheng, but she still didn't think of letting him sit down, "You and Li'er..."
Yang Le entered the door and didn't go inside, just leaned against the door frame and held back a smile. He wanted to continue to see how long his family Qiao Shao could endure this mode of standing like a primary school student to answer questions.
Although he was happy to see Qiao Xuansheng suffer this crime at two o'clock in the morning, but then he thought about it, this kid had never suffered this kind of crime, and few people dared to let him stand and talk back since he was a child, so at the critical moment, he still had to be shameless to speak, who let that one come to meet his parents-in-law.
"That's... Auntie, can we sit for a while, I'm tired, this day. β
Yang Le walked in and opened his mouth.
"yes, look at us... What time is it, if there is anything to talk about tomorrow, let's rest today. Yin's mother said that she was about to take them to the guest room, "There is only one room, you will have one night." β
"No, I'm in the same room with Li'er. β
Qiao Xuansheng's tone when he said this was normally like saying that he had eaten a bowl of rice today, but in the ears of the parents of the 18-year-old girl, how awkward it sounded.
"Oh, I'm sorry to forget, my name is Qiao Xuansheng, Li'er's fiancΓ©. Qiao Xuansheng, who had been asked back and forth, was really impatient, but considering that it was Yin Li's parents, he tried his best to be respectful, "The two old people have been given since childhood, and Yin Li and I also like each other." β
Yin's mother looked at Yin's father, Yin's father's big eyes that were the same as Yin Li's stared at Qiao Xuansheng, and it took a long time before he suddenly spoke: "It turns out that you are the grandson of that Uncle Qiao..."
Yang Le forced a smile after hearing the sentence 'That Uncle Qiao...', and rolled his eyes at the ceiling, how much this family doesn't take the fourth master seriously, no wonder Yin Li doesn't take Qiao Xuansheng in his eyes at all, and hereditarily ignores the Qiao family.
"Yes, I am the grandson of that Uncle Qiao," Qiao Xuansheng secretly swore to try to deal with scientists as little as possible in the future, "Uncle, auntie, if there is nothing to do, I will go to rest." β
"Wait a minute, even if you have a marriage contract, you can't live together, Li'er is only eighteen years old. Father Yin finally said something like a father-in-law, but Qiao Xuansheng's response almost made him swallow it back.
"But we've been together for a long time, and Li'er has been living with me this holiday. β
Someone just has this kind of lying ability that doesn't change color and doesn't beat heart.
