Chapter 165: Father Sends the Car
Qiu Jingli asked, "Didn't you tell you at the beginning of the month that you came early enough at the end of the month?" Do you need a long time to prepare? β
"Yes! Am I not allowed to prepare a dowry? Helian Wu replied.
"Huh?" Qiu Jingli didn't expect Helian Wu to give this reason, which brought her an unexpectedly sweet sense of happiness, and she said happily: "Tonight is the most conscientious about this sentence!" β
"Or else? Do you think I dare not meet your parents? I didn't do anything wrong, what the hell am I afraid of calling the door? Helian Wu said confidently.
"What? How dare you say my parents are ghosts! Qiu Jingli took out the housekeeping skill to deal with Helian Wu again - pulling his ears.
"Little Ancestor! Do you have any other tricks besides pulling your ears? My ears have been plucked so much bigger by you, and they will become pig ears if they are pulled again! Helian Wu was so painful that he cried and called his mother.
"Blessed are the ears bigger, you know?" Qiu Jingli let go of her hand, "What else are you going to dowry?" Isn't my uncle going to buy me a car? β
"Don't be kidding, if you are a lady like you, I can marry home with a car? I'll wake up laughing when I dream! Helian Wu laughed.
"My family lacks nothing, what dowry do I want? As long as you are good and good to me, it is enough! Qiu Jingli said generously.
"My uncle and aunt have come all the way to Las Vegas, how can I say nothing? Even if there is no big gift, you still have to prepare a meeting gift! Tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea are indispensable! I've seen a popular science post on the largest basketball forum in China, and I have to prepare a big Coke Sprite set! Helian Wu said seriously.
"Can the U.S. still drink and tobacco compare to the rest of the country? My father is not used to drinking foreign wine, and as for tea, can you get better tea in the United States than the Ming Qian Longjing I gave to my uncle? And what the hell is that big Coke Sprite set? The kind that comes in 2L? It's just nonsense! What website do you see it on? It's so unreliable! Qiu Jingli was amused by Helian Wu's words.
"What? Am I being molested again? That basketball forum often has serious nonsense to tease other netizens, I may be fooled because I don't know much about the national situation, and people with some common sense of etiquette in China should be able to see that this is a joke, right? Helian Wu scratched the back of his head, feeling annoyed that he had been teased by netizens.
"Is that the site where you always look at colored pictures? It's said that you won't have to go to those messy websites! Qiu Jingli said unhappily.
"That's not a colored picture! That's a benefit from netizens! "Besides, I'm not interested in the pictures!" No matter what content of the posts posted by those netizens, they like to put some welfare pictures at the end to attract traffic, and I can't avoid it! β
"Forget it, don't hold you accountable for those messy things, my parents came all the way, and they can't bring back so many gifts you have prepared! As long as they come, you're better and there's no problem. Qiu Jingli said casually.
"I've got an idea!" Helian Wu had an idea, "When the time comes, let my uncle and aunt go to the casino where my father works to have some fun!" β
"That's not going to work!" Qiu Jingli decisively rejected his proposal from Helian Wu, "You can't let my father gamble!" β
"Not really! Isn't there a saying in China that 'small gambling is pleasant, big gambling hurts the body', since they have come to Las Vegas, the world's first gambling city, there is no problem with two small bets! Besides, don't the big domestic bosses often play mahjong or something? Helian Wu asked puzzled.
"That's not good, my father is a person with poor self-control, I'm afraid that he will lose and go bankrupt if he gets involved in gambling!" Qiu Jingli said worriedly.
"I think you're a little worried! Uncle is also a person who has been crawling in the mall for decades, so he doesn't have any self-control, right? It's a big deal that you confiscate all the credit cards of your uncle and aunt, and only leave them some cash, and come out after losing! When the time comes, let my mother accompany me, just in case the loan sharks come to the door. Helian Wu proposed.
"I'm relieved if you say that, but you're very sweet tonight!" Qiu Jingli suddenly turned over and sat on Helianwu's lap, wrapped her legs around his waist, and put a pair of tender lotus-like hands around Helianwu's neck and said: "For your sake, I kindly remind you that my father is very worried about you taking advantage of me, so be more careful yourself!" β
"Didn't you say that this privacy can't be shared with others? Why would Uncle know? Hougist asked, puzzled.
"I've been living with you for three years, and I have to believe it if I say it's not cowardly!" Qiu Jingli's face was helpless.
"Now that he knows what I'm afraid of, I can only be a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water! I'll have no choice but to take advantage of it tonight. Helian Wu said shamelessly.
"Sister's advantage is not so easy to take advantage of!" Saying that, Qiu Jingli turned against the guest and knocked down Helian Wu.
August seems to have passed very quickly, and on the 20th, the Raiders began summer training, which was earlier than in previous years, and the "Big Four" gathered in Las Vegas to train with a group of senior teammates to improve the tacit understanding.
Hoggist's reputation in the whole of Las Vegas has long been unmatched, even in a place where coaches have absolute authority and star players have no privileges, Hoggist has become the only special case, and his status in the team seems to be equal to that of coaches.
Privilege in college often affects the unity of the players, but Hoggist's unrivalled reputation comes from his superior strength and ability to drive his teammates, who are completely convinced and consciously and voluntarily close to the team...... Around the center of the team with learning as the core, firmly establish political awareness, overall situation awareness, core consciousness, and alignment awareness, and unswervingly maintain the authority of Hoggist in the team and the centralized and unified leadership of Hogist over the whole team.
Hoggist is in high spirits in the team, but he is always a little nervous when he returns home, after all, he and Qiu Jingli have already had a de facto marriage, but this is the first time to meet the other party's parents. Old Helian and his wife didn't react much when they learned the news, especially Old Helian, who really didn't seem to know Qiu Jingli's mother Qiu Luoshui, and the tension when he was about to be exposed without any secret.
Haojist also mentioned this issue to Qiu Jingli two days ago, but Qiu Jingli also couldn't see the clue, and the two had no conclusion after a long time, so they had to wait for Qiu Jingli's mother to get off the plane before the truth could be revealed.
Lao Helian is also a resolute person, and it is really unambiguous to buy a car for the two, without asking the opinions of the two, he spent 200,000 dollars to buy Qiu Jingli the same god car in the movie "Mission Impossible 4" - the BMW i8 that has just been mass-produced this year. But he still picked on the door and gave him a 2013 Mercedes-Benz G500. Hogist saw his new car with a lot of emotion, it was a white Mercedes-Benz G500 speeding off the side of the court, crushing his basketball, he had to go to the lighting court bullfight, but accidentally won the Nevada No. 1 high school student Bennett, and began an extraordinary basketball road.
Now that a brand-new G500 is parked in front of me, how can I not be emotional?
"Why did you buy me this car?" Hoggist asked, puzzled.
"Because I see that the picture of this car has been posted on the head of your bed, isn't this your dream car?" Old Helian asked.
ββ¦β¦ How so? This car should be the starting point of my career as a star! Without this G500, I would not have been driven to the shelves, and I became the No. 1 high school student in Nevada before the start of my freshman year of high school, and a series of honors and achievements after that may have come from the butterfly effect produced by this G500! β
"And such a story! Why haven't I heard you say that? Qiu Jingli asked on the side.
Haugist didn't answer her, glanced at the BMW i8 parked next to him, and said with a sad face: "Am I not my own?" Why did you buy such a high-end sports car for Li'er? It's much more advanced than me! β
"No! The Mercedes-Benz I bought for you, the BMW I bought for Xiaoqiu, this is obviously a grade! I didn't know what car Xiaoqiu liked, and I wanted to ask her but I was afraid that she would deliberately pick a cheap car for me to buy, so I decided on my own! I see that Xiaoqiu often drives sports cars, she must like sports cars! Because I bought you a Mercedes-Benz dream car, I wanted to pick a BMW sports car to give to Xiaoqiu, I looked at BMW's sports car for a long time, and this one is the most pleasing to the eye, and it did not exceed the price in my heart, so I bought it back! Old Helian explained.
"I knew I would have posted an Aston Martin at the bedside!" Haugist wailed.
"Don't worry, I won't buy it if I post it, and you can't sit in a sports car." Old Helian smirked.
"You're really careful, sister, I don't care so much about you, just open it if you want to." Saying that, Qiu Jingli threw the key over.
Although Hougist was agile on the court, the sudden key really made him scramble for a while before he hit the ground.
"Stinky boy, be careful with me! It's a lot of money with a key! Old Helian pretended to reprimand on the side.
"Obviously, she threw the key over without reminding her!" Haugist muttered quietly.
Qiu Jingli stood next to him and heard it clearly, and stretched out his hand angrily to Haojist, "I don't want me to borrow you!" Give the keys back! β
Hogist hurriedly unlocked the car and drilled inside, "If you want it, you threw it well, but I didn't pick it up!" β
Haugist drilled for a long time and finally got in, but his neck couldn't stand up, and his legs were curled up and couldn't be straightened. Hougist adjusted the seat to the lowest and farthest distance, but still couldn't stretch out, he had to reluctantly climb out of the car, but when he came out, his foot was tripped by the threshold of the i8, and he fell directly into a.
Helian Xi was "test driving" the "Ferrari" children's battery car that Qiu Jingli bought for him on the nearby lawn, and when he drove over, the right front wheel happened to run over Haugist's hand, and Hoggist's screams caused everyone to laugh again and again.
Hoggist got up with a sad face, rubbed his pressed hands and wanted to cry without tears: "It seems that growing too tall also has drawbacks, am I not related to sports cars in this life?" β
Qiu Jingli smiled and comforted Haogist: "It's okay, you can definitely sit in the convertible sports car." As for performance sports cars! When you become famous in the future, the manufacturer will be happy to customize it for you. After all, the celebrity's personal endorsement is the cheapest advertisement! β
"Alright! Stinky boy, tomorrow you will drive a new car to pick up your father-in-law and mother-in-law! Old Helian smiled: "Directly to the hotel where I work, I used my employee benefits to book a luxury suite for them." β
"You have such a good perk as a dealer who deals cards? Your hotel is going to go out of business! Hougist sighed.
"Haha, you stupid boy, you don't know anything about your father's strength! Dealers? He's been the director of the casino for a long time! Candace laughed heartily. There's nothing funnier than seeing your own son look confused!
"No wonder Dad suddenly has so much money to give. Li'er and I bought such a good car. As a filial child, Hoggist immediately thought of his father, "Dad, you should change yourself to a good car first if you have money!" β
"Silly boy, you are too naΓ―ve, who do you think the BMW 740Li xDrive parked in the yard opposite?" Candace asked Haugist with a smug smile.
"Is it Daddy's?" Hoggist asked in surprise.
"Silly boy, the car is parked in the yard of the opposite family, of course the car of the opposite family!" Candace teased Hoggist again, this time laughing even more unscrupulously.
"Mom! Why do you always take pleasure in teasing me? Hougist asked depressedly.
Candace restrained his smile at this time, and said seriously: "Why don't you ask who the family opposite me is?" β
"Speaking of which, since the family across the street bought the big house, they often leave early and return late, or stay in the house and don't go out all day. I really haven't seen what they look like. But it doesn't matter, no one has anything to do with our family! Hoggist said coldly.
"Hahahaha, you're wrong again! The big house across the street is your dad's! The house has three floors above ground, two floors underground, and a heated pool in the backyard! That 740 is your dad's! Candace shook his son again.
"Heated pool ......" Haugist was dumbfounded, and muttered to himself for a while, "Oh my God! Your life is too extravagant, and a little money will swell, so it's not good, Mom and Dad! β
"This is where it goes! It's just the standard way of life for the middle class. Old Helian said proudly.
"You guys are really good, you bought such a big house, but our family has to live in this two-story building." Hoggist said dissatisfied.
"If you hadn't been poor since childhood, how would you have cultivated your strong and independent character now?" Old Helian asked rhetorically.
