Chapter 659: Deliberately Releasing Water
Zhou Xing parked the car, got out of the car, and saw his grandparents standing at the door from afar. Although the grandparents are old, their eyes are okay. At the same time that Zhou Xing saw his grandparents, his grandparents also saw Zhou Xing, and the faces of the two old men were immediately filled with kind smiles.
Grandma greeted Zhou Xing quickly, "Xiaoxing, come, come into the house for dinner." Grandma grabbed Zhou Xing's hand and said with a kind face.
Grandpa is a big man after all, and even if he has feelings, he is buried deep in his heart and will not express them easily.
"Grandpa." Zhou Xing looked at his grandfather standing at the door, and felt that his grandfather seemed to be much older.
Grandpa looked at Zhou Xing with a smile and said, "Let's go into the house to eat, the dishes will be cold later."
During the meal, the grandmother suddenly asked Zhou Xing why she didn't bring a girlfriend home for the New Year. After grandma's words were asked, grandpa also looked at Zhou Xing expectantly, it seems that not only grandma cares about this issue, but grandpa also wants to gossip.
Zhou Xing had to tell the second elder the reason why Lin Qingying and the others didn't come back with him, and after the second elder listened, his face showed a look of regret, as if Zhou Xing didn't bring a girlfriend home for the New Year, which was a great loss.
After lunch, Zhou Tongfa and their wives came to Zhou Xing's house one by one and thanked Zhou Xing, saying that if it weren't for Zhou Xing, the men in their family would not have made so much money. It seems that the wages that Zhou Qiang brought back this time were very satisfactory to their own daughter-in-law.
Being praised by the villagers like this, Zhou Xing was really a little embarrassed.
Because the family's New Year's goods have not yet been done, the next day, Zhou Xing drove the second elder to the street to do the New Year's goods. Now Zhou Xing can make easy money. Zhou Xing also wanted to be corrupt. But Grandpa firmly disagreed. It is said that people cannot be extravagant and wasteful just because they are rich. Later, grandpa told Zhou Xing about a grain of grain and a drop of sweat.
Hearing his grandfather say this sentence "a grain of grain and a drop of sweat", Zhou Xing couldn't help but think that when he was farming at home in the past, especially when he was engaged in double robbery in July, the sun was called a poison, and it hurt when it was sunburned on people's skin. But, for the sake of life. Even in the middle of the day, I had to work in the fields at the risk of heat stroke.
Zhou Xing clearly remembered that the water in the rice field was burned by the sun, and when you stood under the sun, even if you didn't move, it would be sweating like rain.
When you are doing double robbery, being able to sit in the shade of a tree and take a break is something that everyone dreams of, but. But no one wants to rest.
To engage in double robbery is to harvest both early rice and late rice seedlings. So. Generally, the early rice in this paddy field is harvested in the morning, and the late rice seedlings are planted in the afternoon with the waist bowed.
Thinking of the hard work at that time, Zhou Xing couldn't help but smile, I didn't know how much sweat I had shed at that time, and when I was thirsty, I could drink a pound of water when I picked up the water scoop.
Zhou Xing followed his grandfather's advice and bought some things he needed, and then under Zhou Xing's repeated requests, Zhou Xing bought a new dress for his grandparents alone.
When the staff of the mall praised the grandparents for having a filial grandson, the two old men laughed so much that they couldn't even close their mouths.
It has been three days since Zhou Xing returned home, and during these three days, Zhou Xing basically did nothing except accompany his grandparents every day. Of course, it is essential to call Lin Qingying and her daughters on time.
On the fourth day, Zhou Xing decided to go to Wang Xiaochen's home to see Wang Xiaochen and his parents, although he had been there once before when he was in the county seat, but Zhou Xing did not show his relationship with Wang Xiaochen that time. This time, Zhou Xing went and prepared for a showdown with Wang Xiaochen's parents.
Zhou Xing first talked to Wang Xiaochen on the phone, and when Wang Xiaochen learned that Zhou Xing was going to come to his home to have a showdown with his parents, he was both happy and nervous.
"Zhou Xing, people aren't ready yet, why don't you come back in two days." Wang Xiaochen said a little nervously.
Zhou Xing said: "In two days, it will be the New Year, I still want to let your parents determine the affairs of you and me today, and during the New Year, I can come to my future father-in-law and mother-in-law's house with gifts to pay New Year's greetings." ”
"You're dead, Zhou Xing, I won't tell you." Wang Xiaochen's heart is beautiful.
"Don't tell me, can't you wait for me to come to your house to propose?" Zhou Xing teased.
Wang Xiaochen's face turned red when Zhou Xing joked, and he said angrily: "Who is rare that you are here, it is best if you don't come." ”
"Hehe......" Zhou Xing smiled and said: "Women are duplicitous animals, she said that it is not rare, the rarer it is, the more I wish I would go quickly." ”
Wang Xiaochen saw that Zhou Xing was always making fun of himself, and he was so angry that he stomped on the jade foot on the other end of the phone, and he was helpless, if Zhou Xing was by her side, maybe she would use the Nine Yin White Bone Claw to pinch Zhou Xing's waist.
"Hmph, don't tell you big badass, I hate it." After speaking, Wang Xiaochen pretended to be angry and hung up the phone.
Since he is going to have a showdown with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he naturally can't leave empty-handed, and he also has to dress up handsomely, so that Wang Xiaochen's parents feel that they are the most handsome son-in-law in the world.
When the grandparents saw Zhou Xing in a suit and leather shoes, and wore a tie, as if they were going to attend some important meeting, the second elder hurriedly asked Zhou Xing where he was going.
Zhou Xing didn't hide it, and told the second elder that he was going to Wang Xiaochen's house. Although Zhou Xing didn't say that he would go to the showdown, he was old and fine, Zhou Xing's grandparents had eaten more salt than Zhou Xing, and seeing his grandson dressed so handsomely, he naturally knew what he was going to do.
"Xiaoxing, come on, grandma believes in you." Grandma smiled and gave Zhou Xing a thumbs up.
"Grandparents, what do you think I should buy for Xiaochen and his parents?" For the sophistication of human feelings, the second elder is still experienced, and Zhou Xing humbly asked the second elder for advice.
"What do you say, old man?" Grandma looked at Grandpa and asked.
Grandpa said: "Regardless of whether Xiaochen and his father smoke and drink, these two things are indispensable, as for Xiaochen's mother, you can buy her some supplements or something." If Xiaochen's grandparents live with their family, you should also buy some gifts for Xiaochen's grandparents......"
Grandpa gave Zhou Xing a lot of pertinent suggestions. After Zhou Xing remembered them one by one. Just drove away.
Arrived at a large supermarket in the county seat. After Zhou Xing parked the car, he went into the supermarket and bought a lot of things. After checking out, because there were too many things, Zhou Xing had to push the shopping cart to the car.
When Zhou Xing was about to arrive at Wang Xiaochen's house, Zhou Xing called Wang Xiaochen and told her that he was almost there. When Zhou Xing arrived, he saw Wang Xiaochen already standing there waiting for him.
After getting out of the car, Wang Xiaochen saw Zhou Xing buying so many things. While helping Zhou Xing carry it, he complained: "What are you doing with so many things, isn't it too much money?" ”
Although Wang Xiaochen's mouth said this, his heart was as sweet as eating honey. The girl didn't like her boyfriend to come to her house to buy more things, so that her parents would be a little happier.
It's not that the woman's parents are snobbish, it's just that this is a national situation, and no one wants their son-in-law to come to their home empty-handed for the first time, so how embarrassing it is for the neighbors to see it.
Wang Xiaochen was walking in front with his things, Zhou Xing followed behind, and after walking a few steps, Zhou Xing saw that Wang Xiaochen's parents still lived in this kind of old house, should he change the house for his future father-in-law's family.
"What's wrong. Zhou Xing, why don't you leave? Wang Xiaochen turned around and saw Zhou Xing standing in a daze.
"I'm wondering if it's time to give my future father-in-law's family a new house to live in." Zhou Xing said with a smile at Wang Xiaochen.
Wang Xiaochen heard Zhou Xing's words. His heart warmed, and then he said: "Zhou Xing, it's enough for you to have this heart, but my parents are used to living in this old house." ”
The news that Zhou Xing was coming, Wang Xiaochen had already told her parents, although Wang Xiaochen did not say that Zhou Xing was her boyfriend, but Wang Xiaochen's parents would not know the relationship between the two of them.
Zhou Xing had come to Wang Xiaochen's house once before, and Wang Xiaochen's parents naturally had an impression of Zhou Xing. Seeing that Zhou Xing had bought a lot of things and came over, Wang Xiaochen's mother took the things in Zhou Xing's hand and put them aside, and said, "Come on, why are you buying so many things?" ”
"Uncle, aunt, I don't know what to buy, so I just buy a little." Zhou Xing said.
"It's pretty much a casual purchase, you see, there's so much stuff." Wang Xiaochen's mother said with a smile.
Seeing Wang Xiaochen and her mother go to the kitchen, Wang Xiaochen's father put down the newspaper in his hand and asked Zhou Xing with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, when did you confirm the relationship with my family Xiaochen?" ”
"Huh?" Zhou Xing was stunned at first, he didn't expect Wang Xiaochen's father to be so direct, and then said: "Don't hide it from uncle, in fact, when I came to your house last time, I established a relationship with Xiaochen, but at that time Xiaochen said that she was still studying, and I was afraid that my uncle and aunt would not agree, so we hid it." ”
"Then why don't you hide it now?"
Zhou Xing said: "I think this matter is for my uncle and aunt to know anyway, and I really like Xiaochen, and it is normal for the two to interact, there is no need to act like an underground worker." ”
Wang Xiaochen's father nodded, and then asked, "Do you know that if you fall in love with Xiaochen, it will affect her studies?" ”
"Uncle, it is a common phenomenon for college students to fall in love now, and college studies are not like junior high school and high school, where there are heavy study tasks every day, and the study life in college is very easy and there is a lot of time, so I fall in love with Xiaochen, and it does not affect her studies at all."
At this time, Wang Xiaochen's father suddenly took out the chess pieces that were put aside and asked, "Xiao Zhou, can you play chess?" ”
Zhou Xing nodded and said, "It's a little, but the technology is not very good." ”
"Just know a little, my chess skills are also very poor, come, follow me to the next game." As he spoke, Wang Xiaochen's father laid out the chessboard.
Seeing Wang Xiaochen's father say this, Zhou Xing muttered in his heart, Wang Xiaochen's father must have very little chess skills, at least he is not his opponent.
Halfway through a game of chess, Zhou Xing found that Wang Xiaochen's father's chess skills were really rubbish, at least worse than Zhou Xing's half-ass. It seems that Wang Xiaochen's father is telling the truth, and there is no element of modesty in it.
Seeing this, Zhou Xing knew that if he won this game of chess, it would be equivalent to slapping this future old man in the face. So, Zhou Xing deliberately released the water and made a mistake, letting Wang Xiaochen's father eat his own son.
"General!" Wang Xiaochen's father shouted, then looked at the chessboard and laughed: "Xiao Zhou, dead chess, right?" ”
Zhou Xing pretended to be meditative, looked at the chessboard, and finally sighed and said: "Lost, really lost, uncle, your chess skills are so good, I am not your opponent, uncle." ”
Wang Xiaochen's father laughed when he heard this, and began to fiddle with the chess pieces in his hand again and said, "Xiao Zhou, let's kill another game." ”
Alas! There's no way, I'm going to put water on my future husband again. (To be continued......)
