Chapter 1970: Father-in-law summons
Tang Qiuli spoke, Mei Ting and Mei Xue naturally had no objections, but Liu Xinlan hesitated, looking hesitant.
From the bottom of her heart, Liu Xinlan was afraid of seeing the two old men of the Zhang family, afraid of seeing the irrepressible love in the eyes of the old man, and the closeness from the heart, so she would sit even more firmly on the role of her stand-in, and felt awkward for no reason, or rather, she didn't agree with this role, and would rather get along with the two kind old men in other identities, or even unconsciously compete with the figure in Tang Qiuli's heart.
Seeing Liu Xinlan's hesitant look, Mei Ting glanced at her in surprise, and turned her searching gaze to her sister, Mei Xue shook her head slightly, Mei Ting didn't ask interestingly, and looked at Tang Qiuli.
Tang Qiuli pulled Liu Xinlan's fragrant shoulder, and said with a stern face: "Xinlan, I know what you are avoiding, but it is not their fault, you can't hurt the hearts of the two old men, let's go, can you go out with me?" β
Liu Xinlan pursed her lips, seeing the light of hope in Tang Qiuli's eyes, after a moment of hesitation, she nodded gently, feeling a little helpless.
"Miss Xinlan!" As soon as Tang Qiuli came out with Mei Ting, Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan, Aunt Zhang's eyes never left her face, and greeted her cordially, Uncle Zhang's face was full of wrinkles, and they all relaxed.
"Daddy, mother! Your second elder is here! Tang Qiuli respectfully stepped forward to salute, and took Liu Xinlan's little hand, Liu Xinlan passively walked in front of the two old men, not knowing how to speak.
Mei Ting had just returned home, and she happened to meet the two old men of the Zhang family, and she didn't know what happened yesterday, and she was surprised by Tang Qiuli's name for the two old men.
Mei Xue hurriedly muttered a few words in her sister's ear, and Mei Ting's eyebrows moved, and she knew it immediately. What should I do, stepped forward and said: "Since the two old men are Qiuli's father and mother, they are my Mei Ting's father-in-law and mother-in-law, and my daughter-in-law Mei Ting has given you a gift to the second elder!" After speaking, he bowed deeply.
Tang Qiuli's parents looked at the sensible eldest daughter-in-law with relief, and the second elder of the Zhang family hurriedly got up and said in a loud voice: "This is unacceptable, you are all daughters of big families, don't lower your identity." Xiaoqiu, we grew up as children, it's almost like our own son, it's nothing, you can't do it, it's better to talk about it! β
Mei Ting smiled. filled the two old men with tea, and said with a smile: "Don't say that." Let's not say a thing. It's called 'marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog', since I am married to Qiu Li, I naturally have to follow his name! Daddy, your second elder said, isn't this reasonable? β
The second elder of the Zhang family still doesn't follow. At this moment, a milky child's voice sounded in the living room, "Dad." And Garin! β
Tang Qiuli was hot, his father's love burned like fire, squatted on the ground, stretched out his arms, Jia Lin, who broke free from his grandmother's arms, moved her calves, "giggled", and ran towards her father, a little man with pink makeup and jade makeup, Tang Qiuli was a little teary-eyed.
Reaching out to pick up her daughter, she kissed her daughter fiercely with a big mouth, and Jia Lin shouted: "Dad is bad, his mouth is piercing!" β
There was a burst of laughter in the living room, which not only adjusted the atmosphere, but also made the second elder of the Zhang family acquiesce to Mei Ting's actions, Liu Xinlan's voice was like a mosquito, "Uncle, uncle, aunt," this voice was so difficult, but the two old men had already blossomed, "Heyββ! Good boy, let the eldest lady take a good look, I was busy yesterday, I didn't see the real thing, come ββ! Sit down next to the eldest lady! Aunt Zhang took Liu Xinlan's hand, and she didn't let go, and smiled.
The two old men sat for a while, and they were about to leave, Tang Qiuli's parents were willing to let go, they were all experienced people, how could they not see the thoughts of the two old men of the Zhang family, the purpose of coming was to see Liu Xinlan, and they said that they were leaving, but the reluctance in their eyes exposed their true thoughts in their hearts, and they also understood their feelings.
The meal at noon was quite weird, the second elder of the Zhang family kept giving Liu Xinlan vegetables, and didn't care what other people thought, that gaze never left her face, Aunt Zhang still wiped her eyes from time to time, and Liu Xinlan's complicated feelings in her heart couldn't be expressed, and she looked at Tang Qiuli from time to time as if asking for help, but Tang Qiuli didn't realize it, threw off her cheeks and made a meal, so angry that Liu Xinlan secretly gritted her teeth.
Aunt Zhang herself, but she didn't eat a few bites, put down her chopsticks, and said: "Miss Xinlan, if you marry Xiaoqiu, you have a vision, Xiaoqiu is a good child, by the way, your uncle and aunt are old, and there is no place to spend money, Xiaoqiu gives us more than 10,000 oceans every year, you say, as far as our old couple, how much can we use, don't worry about food, don't worry about clothing, not for our children to save!" β
"Our mother and I are also in love, the first time I saw you, I couldn't put it down, and there was no relatives in Dingbian, so I took your uncle and me, as relatives, in the afternoon, my aunt accompanied you to the street, bought a few new clothes, but spent money hard, and my aunt was not distressed! If you are good-looking, dress up while you are young! β
As soon as he said this, Uncle Zhang coughed as if reminded, Aunt Zhang reacted, and said apologetically to Mei Ting and Mei Xue: "Two daughters-in-law, don't be picky, buy clothes for Xinlan, and you have a share!" β
Mei Ting and Mei Xue laughed so much that they almost couldn't sit on the chair, Mei Ting quipped: "Mother, what do I and Xiaoxue choose, we are both soldiers, and we usually wear military uniforms, I'm afraid that the new clothes you buy have nowhere to wear, don't worry about your second elder yourself, you don't have money to care about your son, people are now a rich man, I heard that abroad, doing business with Americans and British, making a lot of money!" β
"Ugh!" Tang Qiuli was choked by a mouthful of food, his eyes widened, looked at Mei Ting, Liu Xinlan beside him, and quickly raised his little fist and beat him on the back, causing everyone to laugh.
Tang Qiuli's father said: "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid it won't work this afternoon, Jialin and his grandfather have called, let Qiu'er take Xiaoting, Xiaoxue and Xinlan to their house, and dinner will be eaten at the in-laws' house, another day!" β
The second elder of the Zhang family couldn't hide his disappointed look, but Tang Qiuli was startled, and took Mei Ting and Mei Xue to his father-in-law's house, which was very normal, but his father-in-law asked Liu Xinlan to go too, what do you mean?
Could it be that because of himself, he married the two flower-like daughters of the Mei family, and it was not enough, so he found Liu Xinlan and called himself over for a very long time, or did he warn Liu Xinlan to dispel this idea as soon as possible and die of this heart? Or for their two daughters, to clear potential threats? It's all possible!
Tang Qiu looked at Mei Ting emptily, hoping that his wife could give him an answer, but Mei Ting deliberately turned her face away and whispered to Liu Xinlan, just ignoring a guy who was insatiable.
is also shocked, as well as Liu Xinlan herself, her face was difficult to look at at the time, when she heard it, she couldn't believe her ears, Sister Ting and Sister Xue's father, who wanted to see him by name, why? There's no reason for that?
Mei Ting saw Liu Xinlan's panic, so she whispered a few words in her ear, Liu Xinlan's face was restored to normal, and she smiled embarrassedly, from the bottom of her heart, let Aunt Zhang accompany her to the street to buy clothes, and go to Mei's mansion, if she chooses, she would rather choose the latter, even in the face of the cold face of Mei's father and Mei's mother, and she is not willing to face Aunt Zhang's face full of love, and she can't tell the reason.
Tang Qiuli's parents guessed their son's worries in their hearts, and Liu Xinlan's changed face, from the bottom of their hearts, they didn't want Liu Xinlan to go to their in-laws' house, whether it was for their in-laws and their mothers, or for Liu Xinlan, their respective roles were a little embarrassing, and they were uncomfortable, that was for sure.
Originally, the parents did not agree in their hearts, Tang Qiuli married other girls after marrying the Mei sisters, although in this era, there is no objection to men having three wives and four concubines, and asking for a few more wives, but there is always a guilt of being sorry for the in-laws, and besides, for the two daughters-in-law, the old man is very satisfied, and he almost praises everyone when he meets, whether it is appearance, temper, dealing with people, and respecting the elderly, there is no choice.
However, when they saw Liu Xinlan for the first time, their parents wisely chose to be silent, and did not object in their hearts, the only reason is that Liu Xinlan, a girl, looks exactly the same as Xiaoling, just like a person, the two old men are very sensible, they know Xiaoling's position in their son's mind, and they also know how deep the relationship between the two is, and they know that their son has gray hair at a young age, for what!
Therefore, after Xiaoling's parents mistakenly thought that Liu Xinlan was Xiaoling's, why did their son get drunk, and the mother said the words "Qiu'er is bitter", and finding the girl Xinlan is also a comfort to her son's heart.
When he received a call from Mei's father, his father politely declined, but his in-laws insisted on seeing Liu Xinlan, and it was not easy to refuse, and then looked at the two daughters-in-law, who got along so well with Xinlan, and the worry in his heart was alleviated a little.
After sending off the two old men of the Zhang family who were full of disappointment, the daughter stayed with her parents, the two old people coaxed their granddaughter to take a nap, Tang Qiuli and Mei Ting, Mei Xue, and Liu Xinlan were ready to go to Mei Mansion, Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan took the gifts they brought back from Singapore, and in the living room, there were only Mei Ting and Tang Qiuli left.
Tang Qiuli looked left and right to see if there was anyone else, stepped forward and hugged his wife's slender waist, full of warm fragrance, and the fullness and fullness of Mei Ting's chest made his heart beat wildly, but this is not the time to be intimate, and he was holding on to the big event of his father-in-law summoning him and Liu Xinlan in his heart!
Mei Ting struggled slightly, and whispered: "I'm not afraid of being seen, Xiaoxue is with you all day long, and it's like a gluttonous cat, in the future, and Xinlan, I'll rest assured!" There was a sense of loneliness in the words.
Tang Qiuli's thoughts were all on the matter of going to Mei's mansion, and he didn't hear the faint sadness in Mei Ting's tone, lying in his wife's ear, and whispered: "Sister Ting, why does my father-in-law suddenly want to see me and Xinlan?" Reveal some news! β
