Chapter 196: Before leaving
June 23rd, Dragon Boat Festival.
The trip to the United States at the end of the month was imminent, and all the procedures had basically been completed, and Wang Jin had to go to his girlfriend's house to send a gift before leaving, so he came to Kangshan City in the northwest.
Any man visiting his mother-in-law for the first time will probably feel a little apprehensive in his heart, even if he is bold and arrogant. He is wearing a new navy blue suit, with black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his appearance exudes a "down-to-earth and steady" flavor.
"Squeak......
As soon as I stepped out of the station, an ordinary SUV stopped in front of me.
A young man pushed the door out, squeezed his eyes and asked, "How's it going?" It's low-key enough, I don't dare to rent it if it's too expensive, so that others don't have to say that you go to the target's house to show off. β
Wang Jin looked at it and said: "It's very good old Cao, I'm tired, I can't get out of this training, it's really embarrassing to let you run all the way." β
The other party said proudly: "You're polite, it's just a gesture!" β
The young man's name is Cao Bin, 24 years old this year, he is the new assistant assigned by the boxing gym to Wang Jin, his eyes are very lively, and he knows a lot of professional knowledge. After all, the sports world is very different from the entertainment industry, as long as you can open your hearts to each other, it is quite easy to become buddies.
Wang Jin said: "Everything is done? β
Cao Bin raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, I just bought it in the morning market, it's absolutely beautiful!" Tobacco, wine, meat, chicken, fish, oil, dried fruits, fresh fruits, eight kinds of gifts are complete, the chicken is a free-range rooster, the spirit of Beier, the fish is a fresh carp, jumping around...... Guaranteed not to lose your ......"
ββWang Jin's rituals strictly follow the traditions of his hometown, auspicious, regular, and festive, with the meaning of a definite relationship, obviously for the purpose of finally getting married.
He said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you." β
The brothers chatted a few more words, and Cao Bin hurried home for the holiday.
Wang Jin got into the car and started driving.
Qiu Di's hometown is in Kangshan, the production area of "alcoholic wine", which is also the hometown of coach Gao Fei.
After about thirty minutes, Wang Jin reached out and rang the doorbell.
Because he had to take care of his half-disabled mother, Gao Fei rarely left Kangshan, and his economic conditions were so-so, and the family still lived in that cramped commercial house.
- Wang Jin didn't dare to mention the matter of helping to improve his life, Lao Gao was very proud in his bones, if you were kind enough to buy him a house, it would become a great insult.
"Sudden ......"
Watching Wang Jin deliver things to the house one by one, Gao Fei smiled in his eyes, but frowned on his face: "What? You kid brought the supermarket here? Ooh! Wuliangye? Can I afford it? β
Wang Jin bared his teeth and said: "Be careful, not respectful, haha, I'll buy it after you finish drinking." β
Coach Gao said with a straight face: "Don't spend money in the future, I'll go wash my mother's face, and I'll talk to you a few words later...... Knowing that you are short on time, you will not leave food at noon. β
Wang Jin said with a smile: "You are busy, you are busy." Is the old lady feeling lately? β
Coach Goofy said, "Hey, it's still like that......"
The windows in the house are bright and spotless, and there is no unpleasant smell. For an average family with a patient who has been bedridden for up to six years, this situation is rare.
"Mom, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, the wine must not be touched, and I will drink some porridge when I turn around...... I used to love to eat your hand-wrapped zongzi, but I haven't touched it since you got sick...... The little river behind our hometown has dried up, and we can't pick reed leaves anymore......"
Goofy sat beside his mother and wiped his face carefully and muttered in a low voice.
As the saying goes, there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, he is usually a "thunder" like a violent temper, but now he is gentle to this, six years as a day has not changed, the hardships and filial piety are really moving!
The old man's mouth remained unchanged, and he could only utter some muffled syllables, but the happiness in his eyes spoke for itself.
Wang Jin had a respectful face and always stood with his hands down......
Coach Gao Fei finally personally sent him out, and his tone was extremely stern: "You will live in the United States for a long time in the future, you must always remember one point, you are a world champion, but also a Chinese!" You have to think about your identity all the time, don't make trouble and embarrass us, never touch the dirty things that shouldn't be touched, and resolutely don't go to the occasions you shouldn't go! It's hard to be disciplined, but it's so easy to get ruined! β
Wang Jin nodded and said, "Understand, you put your heart in your stomach, I only need a gold belt and ...... Banknotes, guaranteed to be honest. β
Gao Fei snorted coldly and changed the subject: "That girl is also from Kangshan?" β
Wang Jin coughed: "Hmm." β
Gao Fei said: "Be kind to others, I'll go to drink wedding wine when I get married!" β
Wang Jin raised his eyebrows: "Hey......"
β¦β¦
The Aki family lives in a small market town, with many trees and crops on the roadside, and the asphalt road is slightly bumpy, which is a typical rural style.
The girl was wearing a floral dress, her face was radiant, and she was already standing at the fork in the road and waiting.
Wang Jin stopped and poked his head out, looking very distressed: "Hey, stupid you, you don't know how to go to the catwalk when you turn around and get a tan?" β
Qiu Di smiled and said, "It's okay, I just came, and besides, bronze is in vogue now." β
Wang Jin said: "Bronze? Is it my skin? β
Qiu Di said narrowly: "Well, it's quite similar, but your heat is a little bigger." β
Wang Jin: "......"
The asphalt road soon turned into a gravel road, and in front of Qiu's house was a leafy ginkgo tree, which looked like it should be a long time, and under the cool shade of the tree, a thin woman was rubbing her hands and looking out.
Qiu Di's mother's name is Li Guilan, forty-five years old this year, with an ordinary dress and an ordinary appearance, and her eyes are full of anxiety and apprehension.
ββHer husband is no longer there, her daughter is her only concern, and her future son-in-law will affect the happiness of Qiu Di in the second half of her life, in the end, she is more nervous than anyone else, and her mood can be imagined.
"Ahem, why do I seem to be a little weak all of a sudden?" Wang Jin drove closer, and said with a weak heart.
Qiu Di said: "It's really strange, I faced more than 70,000 viewers in RB at that time, and I never saw you afraid?" β
Wang Jin said: "Can that be the same......
Qiu Di bit her lip and said deliberately: "Xiao Wang, or do you turn around a few times first, and then come back when you are in a good mood?" β
Wang Jin said with a face: "What are you talking about?" There is no turning back from the bow, and the eight horses can't pull the things I decide! Let's get off! β
Qiu Di patted his hand and said, "Hey! β
The big bad wolf turned into a little sheep in seconds, Wang Jin immediately smiled, stepped forward and bent down slightly and said, "Auntie is so ......"
Li Guilan was obviously surprised by someone's size, and she stammered a little: "Oh, okay, this is Xiao Wang, right?" β
Wang Jin said: "Yes, yes, uh-huh." β
Qiu Di said heartlessly: "How fresh, Mom, when did your daughter bring others home?" β
"Hurry up and let Xiao Wang come into the house to rest, and I'll cook for you."
Li Guilan glared at Qiu Di with a gesture, and then quickly looked at Wang's appearance: Well, the height is enough for her daughter, and her appearance is barely passable, but her eyes are a little smaller......
Wang Jin said: "Auntie, don't be busy, why don't we go to the market to eat?" β
Li Guilan said: "How can it be done?" There are still guests at home, hey, I have to go and see the pot first......" After saying that, he hurried into the courtyard.
Wang Jin straightened his eyes and said, "It's still ...... And the guests? β
Qiu Di said: "Ah, uncle, aunt, brother-in-law, etc., etc., in order to accompany you, I invited more than a dozen elders today." β
Wang Jin: "......"
-- Gifts in the countryside have always been quite favored, which is very different from the meaning of simple guests in the city, and it is necessary to invite relatives to accompany them to show their solemnity.
Qiu Di's house is a two-story small building, which is particularly clean inside and out, and the hall is really full of friends.
"Brush, brush!"
Seeing Wang Jin enter the door, there was a sudden silence all around, everyone got up and stood, and more than ten pairs of eyes stared at his face!
Belch! Mr. Wang, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, immediately had a heartbeat like a drum and his scalp was numb!
"Wang Jin is here......"
"This is uncle!" "Hello uncle!"
"This is my brother-in-law!" "Hello sister-in-law!"
"This is Auntie!" "Auntie is so ......"
Wang Jin was busy laughing and saluting cigarettes, and Qiu Di shouted what he shouted. Fortunately, these relatives are basically very simple, no one "checks the household registration" indiscriminately, and no one asks about their income.
After saying hello, Wang Jin went back to the car to unload the goods, chickens, fish, oil and so on are not luxuries, everyone just looks at "mind and etiquette", simply put, to understand the "rules".
With a good attitude, good manners, and sweet mouth, everyone was very satisfied with Mr. Wang, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.
"Xiao Wang, are you really only twenty years old? I don't look like it! The child is indeed a little old. β
"Uh......"
"Xiao Wang, how many bowls of rice can you make in one meal? There is a boxing practitioner on TV, and I heard that one meal can do eighteen steamed buns! Gee! β
"Uh......"
Wang Jin does not have the frame of "world champion", the words "dislike the poor and love the rich" and "domineering" have nothing to do with him, everyone is more and more relaxed during the meal, the guests and hosts are harmonious, and bursts of goodwill laughter erupt from time to time.
Li Guilan silently observed the "future son-in-law", and her heart was happy and sour.
When her daughter grew up, she knew how to take care of people by serving tea and pouring water;
Wang Jin was very polite, and his eyes that occasionally looked at Qiu Di were full of indescribable affection, hotter than fire and deeper than the sea......
Looks like a reliable young man! She should be happy, right? Look at the clenched palms under the table!
- As long as my daughter is happy, I will be happy.
Li Guilan smiled, and hid beside the haystack outside the courtyard for an excuse, with tears in her eyes......
