Chapter 277: Meeting the Parents
The only thing that made Zhou Xiaochuan happy during this trip to Fangting County was that Huang Yancheng's illness was really fine. After two days in the hospital, he was cured and discharged. And Huang Xiaowan also returned to Shide City on the day he was discharged from the hospital.
The days that followed were spent in peace and busyness. In addition to Zhang Aijia, Zhou Xiaochuan and Huang Xiaowan's daily route is basically back and forth between home and pet home.
Five days later, Li Yuhan returned to the UK to continue his studies after the holiday. Before leaving, in addition to entrusting the sand to Zhou Xiaochuan to take care of it again, she took out a document in English and asked Zhou Xiaochuan to sign it.
"What kind of document is this? Why do you want me to sign it? For Zhou Xiaochuan, who has a bad English score, this all-English document is not much different from the book of heaven, except for some simple u"t, words, I almost don't know anything else, as for those large paragraphs of sentences, it is even more incomprehensible.
"Pact of Sale!" Li Yuhan first made a joke, and then said: "I lied to you, it won't be a bad thing anyway, let you sign it, will I still hurt you?" ”
Zhang Aijia leaned over and took a look, as an English expert, although she didn't know much about some of the professional terms, she still understood the general meaning. However, under Li Yuhan's suggestive gaze, she did not translate for Zhou Xiaochuan, but just said: "Sister Yuhan is right, this is indeed not a bad thing, hurry up and sign it." ”
For Li Yuhan and Zhang Aijia, Zhou Xiaochuan believes very much. Therefore, although he didn't understand what was written on this English document, he still signed his name on it, and at the same time did not forget to joke: "I am not afraid of even if it is a contract of sale, I just ask you to be gentle and don't ......squeeze me too much."
"You're beautiful!" Li Yuhan glared at him angrily, and then put away the document full of English
After bidding farewell to Li Yuhan, Zhou Xiaochuan led the sand back home. And the old turtle and the little green who woke up from hibernation, as well as the black boy and the black girl, all lined up in the house early to welcome Her Majesty's return, and if they dared not to line up to welcome her, the consequences would undoubtedly be quite miserable.
Although it makes Shazi happy to reunite with everyone, it is a little unaccustomed to the days when there is no little black. In fact, not only it, but also Black Girl, Old Turtle and Black Boy are also not used to it. In order for Xiao Hei to return as soon as possible, several of them even prayed every day.
Two days after Li Yuhan left, Lin Qingxuan, who had been busy dealing with the Shi family's case, appeared in front of Zhou Xiaochuan, and said something that made him nervous immediately: "Xiaochuan, my parents want to see you, are you free this weekend?" ”
See Mother Wen?!
Although Zhou Xiaochuan had been mentally prepared, he was still a little nervous when it came to the end, but fortunately, his self-regulation ability was relatively strong, so he quickly calmed down and nodded: "This weekend, right?" No problem, I'll tell Xiaowan and they can leave. Oh, by the way, what did your parents like? After all, this is the first time I've met them, so I'm going to have to prepare some gifts......"
Before he finished his words, Lin Qingxuan shook his head with a smile and said, "You don't need to prepare gifts." You don't know, my dad has a weird temper, and he can't see others give him gifts. If you do come to my house with expensive gifts, you might be knocked out of the door by him. Hey, by the way, I remember when I was in your hometown a few years ago, I ate some tender and delicious wild vegetables, this time you went back to Shide City, did you bring some with you? ”
Zhou Xiaochuan didn't understand why Lin Qingxuan suddenly turned the topic to wild vegetables, but he still nodded and replied: "Before leaving, my mother and my sister stuffed a lot of them into my bag, and now there are still a lot of left." ”
"That's good." Lin Qingxuan said with a smile: "You don't need to bring any gifts this time, just bring some wild vegetables and you will become a river" Well, the amount doesn't have to be too much, just enough for one or two meals. ”
"What?" Zhou Xiaochuan was dumbfounded: "Wild vegetables? It's not appropriate, right? ”
Indeed, I have never heard of a person who went to visit his girlfriend's parents and gave him a gift of wild vegetables." …,
Lin Qingxuan was amused by his dumbfounded appearance: "You just do what I say, will I still harm you?" ”
"This". "Okay, just do as you say." After a brief hesitation, Zhou Xiaochuan nodded and replied. In his mind, Lin Qingxuan knew her parents' temperament and character better than herself, and if she did what she said, she would not be wrong.
After agreeing on the weekend, Lin Qingxuan said goodbye and left, she had just returned from the task force, and there were still some things that she needed to deal with. However, after participating in the investigation of the Shi family's case, Lin Qingxuan probably couldn't stay in that faction for too long, and he didn't know when he would be promoted.
For her, merit or something is enough, the only obstacle is that she is too young.
The weekend is coming in a blink of an eye, and early in the morning, Lin Qingxuan drove an Alto car to carry Zhou Xiaochuan in the direction of the provincial capital. Looking at the back of Alto's car leaving in the dust, Zhang Aijia asked Huang Xiaowan beside him with a puzzled expression: "This early in the morning, where are Xiaochuan and Officer Lin going?" ”
Huang Xiaowan also looked puzzled, shook her head and replied: "I don't know, Brother Zhou told me a few days ago that he had some personal matters to do this weekend, but he didn't tell me what private things to do." ”
"Really?" Zhang Aijia squinted her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, she just hummed quietly in her mouth: "Could it be that there is some ulterior secret between these two people?" ”
Although Huang Xiaowan didn't talk, judging from her expression, she should still agree with this statement.
Zhou Xiaochuan didn't know that Zhang Aijia and Huang Xiaowan were speculating about the relationship between him and Lin Qingxuan, and at this moment, sitting in the passenger seat of Alto's car, he was a little restless.
Lin Qingming, who was driving, glanced sideways at him, and asked with some curiosity: "Look at your appearance, it seems that you are very nervous?" ”
Zhou Xiaochuan didn't hide it at all, and said with a wry smile: "The first time I went to meet the woman's parents, I have no experience, can I not be nervous?" ”
Lin Qingxuan couldn't help but snort, and laughed: "Okay, don't be nervous, my parents are not monsters, can they swallow you in one bite?" Speaking of which, it seems like the first time I've seen you so nervous, right? In the past few life-and-death moments, you have been very calm...... Hey, could it be that in your heart, my parents are even more terrifying than those ruthless murderers? ”
Zhou Xiaochuan actually nodded: "In a sense, this is indeed the case.
Lin Qingxuan scolded with a smile: "Hey, you still dare to say yes, looking for a fight?" ”
chatting with Lin Qingxuan made the tension in Zhou Xiaochuan's heart gradually disappear... At least, on the face of it, that's right.
More than two hours later, Alto drove into the provincial capital.
It can be seen that Lin Qingxuan is quite familiar with the road conditions in the provincial capital, and after seven turns and eight turns, Zhou Xiaochuan suddenly felt that there seemed to be less traffic around him. And Alto's car also stopped at the gate of a compound with ** standing guard. The ** standing guard obviously knew Lin Qingxuan, just glanced at her, and let her drive Alto into the car. After entering the compound, Zhou Xiaochuan found that this compound, which looked ordinary from the outside, was doing quite well with all kinds of greening and infrastructure facilities.
"What is this place?" Zhou Xiaochuan couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked.
Lin Qingxuan found a parking space to park Alto's car, and replied casually: "Where my parents live." ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Zhou Xiaochuan felt speechless.
Lin Qingxuan glanced at him and replied with a smile: "This place is called Lakeside Community, have you heard of it?" ”
"Lakeside Community?" Zhou Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment, he had really heard of the name and deeds of this community: "I heard that the lakeside community in the provincial capital is where the provincial high-ranking officials live...... Could it be that your parents are still high-ranking officials in the province? ”
"Hey, you know a lot." Lin Qingxuan obviously didn't expect Zhou Xiaochuan to know what the lakeside community was, and after being slightly stunned, she said with a smile: "That's right, my dad is indeed a high-ranking official in the province, what's the matter, are you scared?" ”
"Afraid? What am I afraid of? Zhou Xiaochuan also laughed: "Even if I'm afraid, it's not because of his status as a high-ranking official in the province, but because he is your father." ”
Just as the two of them got out of the car talking and laughing, and were about to leave here, a Mercedes Benz roared up and stopped in the parking space next to it.
The window was quickly lowered, and Liang Hao, who had seen it once in Fangting County, poked his head out of the Mercedes-Benz, looked Zhou Xiaochuan up and down a few times with malicious eyes, and sneered and said provocatively: "I thought it was who, it turned out to be you." Why, you're driving such a broken car? Oh, I almost forgot, you're just a petty veterinarian, and you're only worthy of driving this kind of broken car
Before he finished speaking, Lin Qingxuan's face sank, and he snorted coldly: "Shut up Liang Hao, I drove this car." ”
"Uh" Liu Lianghao's expression froze suddenly, and the words that had already reached his lips were also forcibly swallowed back by him, and after laughing dryly, he said: "Qingxuan, I'm sorry, I really didn't know that this car was yours." But how do you drive such a car for your sake? I'll give you a good car. When he said this, he didn't forget to cast a provocative glance at Zhou Xiaochuan, which clearly meant to say: I can send a good car casually, can you? Dare to fight me?
