Chapter 521: The Patriarch Comes to the Door
Mother He talked to her daughter on the phone the day before, and learned that the head of the He family would also come this time, and she would live opposite their house at that time, and she was busy early in the morning.
There are ready-made beds, and there are exactly two single beds in the store as samples, so you can just move them up and use them. But the mattress can't be bought now, even if it's with a brown bandage, you won't be able to pick a suitable one for a while.
So he hung up the phone, and He's mother took He's father to the mall to make a big purchase. After the mattress was selected, the mall delivered it directly to the door, and the two of them continued to pick out air conditioning quilts, towel blankets, and three-piece sets. The air conditioner is in the master bedroom room, and the temporary installation of the other two rooms is in a hurry, the key is not to live often, so I listened to the girl's choice of two brand air coolers. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels and other daily consumables are available at home, just add a few things that are missing.
When I got home, I was exposed to the sun and washed.
Fortunately, in the summer, the washing machine is enough to dry the quilt covers, bed sheets, and pillowcases, and it is enough to dry them for half a day under the sun.
On the same day, the two of them really couldn't pull away to pick up the car. One has to be in charge of the kitchen, and the man's parents come to the door for the first time (in the hearts of the two of them, He Chifeng's family is already the one who supports the girl's side), but it is not a good hospitality. It's not that I feel sorry for the money, and I am reluctant to invite guests to the restaurant to eat, but there are just dishes at home, and on the morning of the phone with my daughter, He Lao and his wife came to Haicheng to see their son, and sent a few mountain goods to their family by the way, in addition to dried bamboo shoots, bamboo sun, these are durable, there is a pheasant, a wild turtle and a net of stone frogs. Just take it to the guests to try it.
A dish with a large round countertop, although Xu Huixiang came to help. He Mu was still so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, so she had to give He Chifeng carte blanche to pick it up.
As for He's father, he had to dismantle the two sample beds in the store. Then he carried it up to the fourth floor in batches.
The key to the door was actually in the desk drawer in the girl's bedroom. When the girl told them on the phone, the two of them stared at each other, and they didn't know how to react.
But it's easy to have a key, and the two of them were busy all afternoon and night, which can be regarded as cleaning up the house that has not been lived in for a year. Early this morning, I went to open the window again to ventilate. After finishing all this, Mother He took care of her kitchen work. Father He first installed the two beds by himself, and then laid out the mattress, quilt, and pillow. After seeing what was missing in the house, I went to the store and brought up two pairs of bedside tables and round stools that were used as samples.
Summer vacation schedule. Many stores have launched "buy to give" and "buy to return" promotional activities, although He Ji did not engage in these gimmicks, but he was embarrassed to close the store, so Lao Wu volunteered to come to see the store. One is that He Qingdong is his "direct boss". The troubles of the boss's parents-in-law are not equal to the troubles of the boss, and he is a subordinate, and he must not relieve the boss's worries anytime and anywhere; Second, his daughter-in-law has often had morning sickness since she became pregnant, especially when she was at home, she would hold the toilet and vomit in the dark. On the contrary, he can still eat something when he comes to the He family, but the amount is not much. But as long as you can eat it, instead of spitting it out after eating, it's enough to thank God.
So during this time, Lao Wu Dekong brought his daughter-in-law to Heji. When he got out of the car, he asked his daughter-in-law to stay in the store, help look at the store, talk to He's mother, and finish a meal in Heji. Lao Wu would often bring vegetables over, either fresh vegetables, melons and fruits collected from farmers in the suburbs, or fresh seafood that had just been landed at the fishing dock. came and went, and He's father and mother didn't think that the couple were outsiders. So the task of looking after the store in the past few days was handed over to Lao Wu and his wife.
The two of them were busy with themselves, and He Chifeng picked someone up.
Naturally, the meeting is a warm greeting, in fact, it is easy for men to get acquainted with each other, no, lunch has just started, and the old man chats with Comrade Lao He quite familiarly.
Xu Huixiang quietly comforted Mother He: "Look, I'm not wrong, right?" My father-in-law is still relatively easy to deal with, although he is very scary when he puts on his face, but he generally scares and scares juniors. People who have been on the battlefield have become accustomed to reprimanding people with a straight face, and they love to train people with a loud voice at every turn. Don't be intimidated by his appearance, say what you have to say, there's nothing to worry about. ”
He Mu wrapped her apron in both hands, smiled shyly, didn't say anything, but was really relieved in her heart.
To tell the truth, when she learned about Aqing's true family background, she and Lao He didn't sleep well for a few nights in a row, although the saying goes, "raise your head to marry a daughter, bow your head to marry a daughter-in-law", that is, a daughter-in-law usually goes to a person with a low door to find it, and a girl who marries a girl has to pick a high door. But there is also a word called "the right family", the family background of the man and woman is too different, and it is inevitable that there will be friction in the future, and the highly-married girl may be bullied by the man's family.
Yes, the two of them are really a little apprehensive.
Now seeing that the patriarch of the man's family has such a humble attitude, He's mother finally let go of half of her hanging heart. As for the other half, I'm afraid that when the girl gets married, she won't be able to completely leave behind, and she will worry about whether her married life will be happy, whether it will be smooth to have children, etc., and that's how a mother worries.
After a happy lunch, the old man was sent to the opposite door for a lunch break, and as soon as he returned to his house, he mother dragged her daughter into the bedroom, planning to have a heart-to-heart talk with the two of them. Although the Dragon Boat Festival has just met, there is nothing I want to ask.
For fear that the hairy-footed son-in-law in the living room would hear it, He's mother also closed the door, and her careful movements made He Wei laugh.
Mother He smiled at her and said "no heart and no lungs", and then pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed and asked, "Why did you come all of a sudden?" Nothing else, right? "Refers to Old Man He. Because the girl talked to her family on the phone before the final exam, she didn't mention that the man's eldest parent would come, and she said it the day before she went home, so in such a hurry, it was normal for the two to be worried.
He Wei truthfully explained to her mother: "Grandpa He is bored at home alone, so he temporarily decided to come to Qingshi with us to play for a few days." Uncle Feng is the cook of the He family, and he will come to help make dim sum when our family moves the factory, so that you can also make it easier for your mother. ”
Mother He couldn't cry or laugh, poked her daughter's forehead and said: "Before I entered someone's door, I began to command the chef in the house, and I am not afraid of shame!" ”
He Wei playfully stuck out her tongue.
Mother He looked at her with satisfaction and said, "But seeing that the people in the Aqing family are very good to you, my parents are relieved." People are good to you, and you should also know that people are good to you? ……”
Mother He hadn't thought about her daughter for a long time, and this thought was a little unstoppable, and she talked for half an hour, and she heard that He Wei's eyes were full of mosquito coils.
In the living room, He Qingdong sat and talked with his uncle and aunt and his father-in-law, a little absent-minded.
Why did the mother-in-law take Xiao Nizi to the room to whisper at this time? He also closed the door, causing him to prick up his ears and eavesdrop on a few words. Could it be that there were too many people who came, which aroused the disgust of the mother-in-law? Or is the gift not in place, so that the mother-in-law is not satisfied?
was struggling, the door opened, and when I turned my head, I saw Xiao Nizi blushing and following her mother-in-law out, and the mother and daughter both had smiles on their faces, not like they had talked about something bad. He Dashao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally put his mind at ease. (To be continued.) )
PS: The last shift first, and there will be later.
