Chapter 151: Meeting the In-laws (3)
After Li Xiang opened the door, he was surprised when he heard Mr. Qiu say that he wanted their family to have dinner, thinking that they had already left.
"........" Mr. Qiu kept smiling.
"Well, well....."
Li wanted to see that Mr. Qiu was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he agreed to his parents without communicating in advance, and she hurriedly agreed.
After separating from Mr. Qiu's parents yesterday, I thought that he was going to accompany his parents, and he didn't send any messages to Mr. Qiu, since they stayed and didn't leave, there must be a reason, they don't seem to be the kind of people who don't talk much, maybe they want to investigate themselves again.
Li Xiang muttered in his heart...
......
"They have such a good family background, why is their attitude so low?"
Li Xiang's parents have learned from the past, as soon as she came home yesterday, she was squeezed to "have one to say", and after hearing Li Xiang's relay, they were surprised by Mr. Qiu's family background. I can't imagine that Mr. Qiu, who is kind and gentle, is so humble.
Dad was very puzzled, like this kind of family background, he would not be so low-key and active in front of the future "in-laws", either they are a very well-cultivated family, or Mr. Qiu's parents know that he likes Li Xiang very much.
Dad felt that no matter what the situation was, it was a good thing, and his heart became cheerful.
After finishing speaking, he hummed a little song happily.
"They probably invited it by the way..."
Li Xiang didn't want her parents to have too much hope for her relationship with Mr. Qiu, after all, what she wanted most now was not marriage.
Li Xiang helped his parents choose the right clothes, not too grandiose, not too shivering, and finally chose a set of new clothes that Li Xiang bought for them last year......
She herself was tossing in the bedroom for a while, and she couldn't wear the same set she wore yesterday again...
"Let's call you big brothers and sisters..."
The two families met in a mid-range restaurant, and Mr. Qiu was as polite as ever, taking care of the four elderly people and Li Xiang before taking a seat.
The cabinet in the private room is full of shopping bags for all kinds of goods, and Li wants to know the brand on the bag, which is some light luxury.
Li Xiang's parents inquired about the age of Mr. Qiu's parents at home, who were a few years older than them, and after their father met, they respectfully called them big brothers and sisters.
"It's okay, it's all family anyway...."
The aunt and uncle smiled, not minding what they called, and the aunt said that when we met like this, we were a family, the man was not married to the woman, the two were like-minded, and it was a matter of time before they got married.
In addition to joy, the aunt also spoke with a sense of pride, feeling that Mr. Qiu would add glory to the family if he married Li Xiang.
"It's... Be... Yes.."
The father happily agreed, his daughter finally walked out of the haze, and talked about marriage again, the wrinkles on the old man's face were crowded together, his eyes narrowed into slits, revealing his white teeth, the weather-beaten wrinkles seemed to be stretched out at this moment, and the corners of the old man's mouth leaked a kindness.
Mr. Qiu and Li Xiang looked at each other, dumbfounded, and were shocked by Mr. Qiu's mother's words, the relationship between the two now seems to be close, but it is vivid.
"You order... We can do whatever we want..."
The waiter in a sauce-colored overalls saw that the guests had arrived, handed a menu to the aunt, holding an ordering device in her hand, and the two elders humbly ordered, both wanted to settle with each other, and finally the aunt ordered.
"Waiter, are these dishes enough?"
looked at the waiter standing next to him, and said that as long as it was enough, it was a family reunion, and there was no need to be extravagant and wasteful.
She had already asked Mr. Qiu about Li Xiangjia's food, whether it was meat, vegetarian, spicy, etc., and she ordered all local dishes.
"I found that your Jinwang Street here is too popular, and the things are so ....."
The two pairs of elderly people have very different living environments, and the people they come into contact with are also very different, and it is normal to have no common topics.
Jinwang Street is the city's largest commercial center, and there is also a quaint pedestrian street next to it, and a temple next to it, which is a must-see for all outsiders.
It turned out that my aunt listened to Li Xiang's introduction yesterday, and today I went shopping with my uncle, and I bought a lot of things on the cabinet.
Li Xiang naturally took his parents to go there a few times, and he is more experienced in this area.
"Compared with Beijing Road, Shangxiajiu Road is far behind...."
Li Xiang's slender hands were moving the dishes and chopsticks, and when he heard his aunt's words, he politely complimented.
From the perspective of economy and popularity, Jinwang Street is indeed inferior to Beijing Road, but in terms of cultural heritage, Jinwang Street can throw more than a dozen streets of Beijing Road.
"Here, this is for you..."
Before the dish was served, the aunt took out a beautifully packaged box from her carry-on bag, got up and walked a few steps, and handed the box to Li Xiang, saying that she was in a hurry yesterday and didn't bring a gift, so she made a special trip to shop and buy it today.
"Open it and take a look."
Mr. Qiu sat next to Li Xiang and asked her to open it to see if she liked it.
"Wow, that's beautiful..."
Li Xiang was surprised, embarrassed to take the box, and gently unwrapped the purple bow on the package, it was a jade bracelet, the bracelet was rich and gorgeous, and the texture was transparent and delicate.
Mr. Qiu raised Li Xiang's right hand and gently put the bracelet on her, instantly looking elegant, dignified and generous.
Li Xiang couldn't help but sigh with praise and expressed his sincere gratitude to his aunt.
She had long heard that southerners pay attention to etiquette, but she didn't expect her aunt to give herself such a valuable gift when they met for the first time.
Li Xiang's parents were also praising the jade bracelet beside him.
"Look..."
The aunt happily raised her right hand and shook it twice, and Li Xiang found that the jade bracelet in her hand was similar to herself, and it turned out that she had bought a pair.
She obviously regarded Li Xiang as her daughter-in-law like her own daughter.
Li Xiang felt a strong sense of guilt and guilt in his heart.
"You're so polite that you're breaking the bank..."
The aunt went to the cabinet again, carried two shopping bags, and gave one to Li Xiang's parents and parents, one for his mother's baby, and a pair of leather shoes for his father.
Li Xiang's parents shirked it a few times, but it was really difficult to refuse, so he accepted it, which was embarrassing.
Mr. Qiu's parents came all the way from other places to be guests, but they invited guests and gave gifts.
"Mine..."
Mr. Qiu saw that everyone had it, so he jokingly asked his aunt for gifts, which caused the hall to laugh, but the aunt just smiled heartily and did not answer.
......
"Be sure to buy more..."
The next day, my mother repeatedly instructed my father, who was about to go out, to let him buy more local specialties and give them to Mr. Qiu's parents, knowing that their family was not short of money, even if they didn't give Li Xiang's family of three gifts, they had to do their best to be a landlord.
My mother also said that it was not easy for them to take them on the plane, so I asked for an address, and I sent them a courier here.
