It is indeed a family banquet of the nature of a blind date, although Dongfang Heavy Industry also has some high-level and engineers to attend, but they are all arranged by Ning Yuanshan in a far place, he arranged a private room here, and only he and Ning Yuanhai, as well as Tranquility's mother Zhang Huilan, plus Xia Lei and Tranquility, a large round table is just the five of them, and it is not too wasteful.

Xia Lei met Ning Yuanhai and Zhang Huilan for the first time. Ning Yuanhai and Ning Yuanshan look very similar, and they are also in their fifties. Zhang Huilan still looks relatively young, and her appearance and age look like she is in her early forties at most, and she doesn't look old at all. She is very similar to Tranquility, although she is a little older, she is definitely an older beauty, the kind of type who wants to have a face, a figure, and a temperament.

"I didn't expect Sister Ning's mother to be so young, Sister Ning is probably like this when she reaches her mother's age, right?" Xia Lei had a strange thought in his heart.

"Mom, Dad, second uncle, Xia Lei is here. Tranquility said.

In fact, there is no need for Ning Jing to introduce, from the moment Xia Lei entered the private room, Ning Yuanhai and Zhang Huilan's eyes fell on Xia Lei's body, seeing him from head to foot, and then from foot to head. With the small detail of Tranquility holding Xia Lei's hand, they also guessed Xia Lei's identity.

Being stared at by Tranquility's parents with the eyes of a prisoner, Xia Lei suddenly became nervous, stunned, and didn't know what to do next.

Tranquility touched Xia Lei's waist with her elbow and whispered, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up." ”

Xia Lei came back to his senses at this time, and he hurriedly walked up, "Hello uncle and aunt, Uncle Liu is good, I'm sorry, I'm a little late, so I made you wait for a long time." ”

Ning Yuanhai said: "Young people, the concept of time is very important. ”

Zhang Huilan also said: "Yes, you were late for the first meeting. ”

Xia Lei wanted to explain, but he couldn't say it, and he was very embarrassed. He expected that this matter would not be easy, it would be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult, and Tranquility's parents set him up with difficulties at the beginning.

Tranquility said, "Ah Lei was also too busy to buy gifts for you and was late, so don't talk about it." ”

Xia Lei followed and handed over the gift, "Uncle, aunt, please accept it." ”

Ning Yuanhai took the gift and glanced at it, but Zhang Huilan put it off the table without even looking at it. The two of them seemed to have discussed it early in the morning, not to give Xia Lei a good look, and wanted to test Xia Lei's temper in this way.

Xia Lei sighed in his heart, "Hurry up and start eating, and then leave this place." In the future, even if Sister Ning puts a knife on my neck, I will not accompany her to act in this kind of play. ”

At this time, Ning Yuanshan walked to the door of the private room, and said as he walked: "You guys talk first, I'll urge the kitchen to serve the food." Really, at this time, the food is not served, and this speed is too slow. ”

Xia Lei glanced at the door of the private room and thought, "Does a five-star hotel have this kind of problem? Don't lie to me, you said hello to the kitchen early in the morning and delayed the serving, right?"

Ning Yuanhai looked at Xia Lei, his eyes were quite kind, and it was not difficult to see that he was still very satisfied with Xia Lei's sunny and handsome image.

"Uh-huh, ahem. Zhang Huilan coughed inexplicably, and then said, "Xia Lei, when did you and my family Shizuko meet?"

Tranquility said: "We met in a bookstore half a year ago. I love to read, and he loves to read. ”

"Shut up, I didn't ask you. Zhang Huilan glared at Jing Jing.

Tranquility also closed her mouth, she looked afraid of Zhang Huilan, and Zhang Huilan seemed to be the one at the helm of their family.

Xia Lei stubbornly said: "Well, yes, we met half a year ago, in a bookstore. ”

"Which bookstore?"

Xia Lei thought for a moment, "Xinhua, Xinhua Bookstore." ”

"It's been half a year, you've been together for half a year, and you've been hiding it from us. Zhang Huilan looked a little angry, "Xia Lei, do you not exist as our second elder, or do you just want to play with our family Shizuko? ”

Xia Lei's scalp had begun to tingle, and he stubbornly said, "I'm sorry, aunt, I definitely don't have that idea, I ......"

Zhang Huilan interrupted Xia Lei's words, "How old are you this year?"

"Twenty-five. ”

"What about the parents?"

"My mother died at an early age, and my dad ...... It's gone. My sister and I were the only ones left at home, and my sister was admitted to Kyoto University and was going to school in a few days. Xia Lei simply said these situations in one go, lest Zhang Huilan continue to ask.

The corners of Zhang Huilan's mouth showed a subtle smile, and she and Ning Yuanhai glanced at each other and exchanged glances. It is not difficult to see that she is still very satisfied with Xia Lei's age, appearance, temperament, and family members.

"What about the second uncle, why hasn't he come back yet?" Tranquility urged, "I'm hungry." ”

"There are no rules. Zhang Huilan glared at Ning Jing again.

Tranquility then closed her mouth again.

Zhang Huilan's eyes fell on Xia Lei's body again, as if she wanted to see through his heart, "Xia Lei, do you have a room?"

Xia Lei said with some embarrassment: "Yes, the one left by my parents is very small, only seventy-five square meters." ”

Zhang Huilan said: "It's really too small, if we Jingzi marry, how can such a small house accommodate the two of you and your sister, and if you take children in the future, it will be even more crowded." You have to work hard to make money, and buy a big house, at least 150 square meters. ”

Charleigh, "......"

"Where's the car? Do you buy a car now?"

Xia Lei shook his head, "No." ”

"That's not good, you have to buy at least a car of about 500,000 yuan, preferably a seven-seat city SUV, and we can sit down as a family when we go out in the future. ”

Xia Lei, "I don't have the capital to buy a seed car ...... yet"

Before Xia Lei could finish speaking, Tranquility secretly stepped on the instep of his foot, and Xia Lei closed his mouth, very embarrassed.

The small movements of the two failed to escape Zhang Huilan's eyes, and her willow eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, "By the way, Xia Lei, what is your education?"

Xia Lei didn't think about it, and replied casually: "High school." ”

"High school?" Zhang Huilan's brows furrowed even higher, "Why are you just a high school student?"

Ning Yuanhai's brows also furrowed, he was obviously not satisfied with Xia Lei's academic qualifications.

Zhang Huilan's tone and Ning Yuanhai's eyes made Xia Lei's heart a little uncomfortable, but when he thought that this was cooperating with Ning Ning's acting, he endured it, and maintained the due respect for his elders on his face, "Auntie, I also want to go to college, but if I want to go to college, my sister will have no one to take care of." I don't regret it, though. ”

Zhang Huilan and Ning Yuanhai glanced at each other, and the two seemed to be a little hesitant. The old couple was quite satisfied with Xia Lei's other conditions, but they were not satisfied with their academic qualifications.

"Our family Shizuko is a doctoral student, you have a huge cultural difference together, you can get along now, but getting married and living is a lifelong thing, are you sure to adapt to this cultural difference?" Zhang Huilan's eyes when she looked at Xia Lei no longer had the intimacy just now.

Xia Lei didn't know how to answer this question, because he hadn't thought about living with Tranquility at all.

Zhang Huilan said again: "And your children, from the perspective of genetics, the genes of our family Shizuko are the best genes, and your ......"

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Tranquility blushed and was not happy anymore. Xia Lei came to help her, but she didn't expect her mother to make Xia Lei so difficult.

Just when Ning Yuanshan walked in when he was very embarrassed, he smiled and said, "It's going to be served immediately." ”

Ning Yuanhai got up and pulled Ning Yuanshan to the corner of the private room to talk, and Zhang Huilan also got up and walked over to pull Ning Ning to another corner to talk. The four Ning family members were muttering, obviously discussing Xia Lei. Xia Lei sat there, looking very lonely. He's like a contestant on a talent show, and after the performance, he waits for a few judges to rate him, advance, or be eliminated.

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Xia Lei's mouth, "This world is really realistic, fortunately, I am not really in love with Tranquility, and if I am a son-in-law for her mother, I will be driven crazy sooner or later." ”

The four Ning family members were still muttering again.

Here, Ning Yuanhai said to Ning Yuanshan: "Yuanshan, this can't be done." Xia Lei is just a high school student, and he is too far from our family Shizuko. Children born later are not AA genes, they are AB genes. ”

Ning Yuanshan said: "I said, brother, are you confused? What can academic qualifications say? I have a large number of college students, research laboratories or something, some are warehouse keepers, some are copywriters, and they can't even compare to one toe of Xia Lei." Do you know that with Xia Lei's craftsmanship, there are not many in the whole country?"

"Isn't it welding and lathe machining? Ning Yuanhai obviously didn't agree with Ning Yuanshan's point of view.

Ning Yuanshan sighed, "Hey, whatever you want, if Shizuko were my own child, I would definitely raise my hands in favor of her being with Xia Lei." ”

"I'm not actually very opposed, it's just that Shizuko doesn't agree, and I can't help it. Ning Yuanhai said.

Over there, Zhang Huilan whispered in a quiet ear: "Daughter, how far have you developed?"

Tranquility's face flushed slightly, "Mom, why are you asking this?"

"Mom asks you and you say. Zhang Huilan said tentatively: "Did you go to bed?"

Serenity's face turned even redder, "We haven't gotten to that point yet, we're just pulling hands, sometimes...... Kiss your mouth or something, too. ”

"You really didn't go to bed?"

"Not really!"

"It's good if you don't have it, and if you don't have a mother, you're relieved. Zhang Huilan breathed a sigh of relief.

Tranquility glanced at Xia Lei secretly, and for some reason, there was a faint loss in her eyes at the moment.

Zhang Huilan said in a quiet ear: "Daughter, actually, my mother is not against your free love, if this Xia Lei is very good, your father and I are also willing to accept him." It's just that he's just a high school student, how can a high school student be with a doctoral student?"

"If you don't like it, forget it. Tranquility said. It's fake anyway, so it's okay to end it like this.

"Do you remember that little boy you played with as a kid?"

"Who?"

"Your Aunt Hu's son, Ren Wenqiang, he came back from the United States, and he got a doctorate in business management there. As soon as he returned to China, he was hired by Vientiane Group as the project director of the wind power project, and will also become the person in charge of this project in the future. ”

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Of course it matters, Wen Qiang's child has liked you since he was a child, and I can't see it as a mother? I met him today, and when he heard that you were coming, he said that he would also come to talk to your second uncle about the wind power generation project. I know he wants to meet you. Speaking of this, Zhang Huilan looked at the watch in her hand, "It should be here too, right?"

"W-Isn't this okay?" Tranquility suddenly regretted asking Xia Lei to do her a favor, she felt that it would hurt Xia Lei.

Zhang Huilan glared at Ningning, "What's wrong? You and Wen Qiang's child have also played since childhood, and you are also a pair of childhood sweethearts, if you get better, hehe, that's a pair made in heaven, you will be kind to others later, remember?"

Tranquility bit her lower lip, she didn't expect things to change like this, she wanted to leave here with Xia Lei.

At this moment, a young man in a suit and leather shoes appeared at the door of the private room.
