30. Meet your father-in-law
Chapter 80: Thirty, Meet Your Father-in-law
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, according to the folk custom, he wanted to go to the village to pay New Year's greetings to the elders, and he took his younger brother to go to Aunt Zhang's house to pay New Year's greetings. Over the years, people have tried their best to help, and he naturally remembers this kindness.
Afterwards, I went to the houses of several relatives who knew each other and sat for a while.
People were very enthusiastic, poured water, and took fruits and melon seeds, but after chatting for a while, due to the difference in the environment, it was difficult to have a common topic, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward, so I had to say goodbye and leave.
After a turn, it was noon, and when the brothers returned home, their mother had wrapped a curtain of dumplings and were about to put them in the pot.
"The first dumpling, the first two noodles", the countryside pays more attention to these old examples.
After lunch, he sent Ruoxi a WeChat message, asking her how she was talking to her family and whether she wanted him to visit her future parents-in-law tomorrow.
When the second girl returns to the door, the aunt (including the boyfriend) wants to go to the woman's house to pay New Year's greetings, which is also known as the aunt's day.
Whether her parents agree with him or not, he also has to express his attitude, which is the responsibility of a boyfriend.
"Come on, my dad said, I want to meet you, see what kind of man it is, let me wait for two years, hee hee (smiley face)"
He didn't have much hope, after all, from Ruoxi's mouth, her father had a deep prejudice against him. Unexpectedly, his father actually agreed to meet him, which was like getting permission and amnesty.
However, when he thought about it, he felt a little worried. Don't you want to give yourself a dismount, right?
I once heard Ruoxi say that her father was a driver in the town leader, and he had seen a lot of the world, and after retirement, he was recommended to a company to be a shuttle driver. This has long been his father's stubborn and domineering character, which is not so easy to change.
But it's useless to be afraid, I always have to face the test of my future father-in-law, but after this level, don't want to be with Ruoxi.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains. If you don't deal with your father-in-law, you'll be in vain.
He told his mother that he was going to see his father-in-law tomorrow, and his mother was as happy as a flower, and he didn't ruin her interest.
The next morning, he put on a light and neat black casual jacket, jeans, and brown camel casual shoes.
The first time I went to see my father-in-law, I naturally couldn't lack courtesy, not only to buy gifts, but also not to be shabby.
Wine must be bought, whether he likes it or not. He bought two bottles of Moutai, which were of moderate grade and would not lose face.
Ruoxi revealed to him that her father likes to drink tea. The most important thing is to do what he likes, he deliberately went to Wu Yutai and carefully selected a box of high-grade Biluochun.
In addition, I also bought special pastries and fruit gift boxes, drove to the community where Ruoxi was located in Wei County, and came to her door with things in both hands.
Ding Dong, the doorbell rang a few times, the door opened, Ruoxi opened the door, let him in, and introduced him one by one.
Her father is of medium height, straight and capable, with a Chinese face, not angry and arrogant. He bowed to the New Year, and Father Li only nodded.
Her mother was a thin, middle-aged woman with a delicate face, and it seemed that Ruoxi was very similar to her mother.
Her brother is tall, 1.85 meters, with a horse face, and seems to be a little rough.
Her sister-in-law was quite thin, standing aside, not smiling, and without much presence.
Father Li asked her brother to take the gift and put it away, beckoned him to sit on the sofa in the living room, and instructed Mother Li to pour water for him.
He didn't dare to sit down, for fear that others would pick on him. Always be mindful, not to mention awkward.
"Xiao Zhao, what kind of education do you have?" Before Li's father could ask, her brother took the lead.
"Big brother, I am a junior college, majoring in teacher training, studying in Qinhuangdao."
He replied confidently, neither humble nor arrogant, and did not forget to call the other party a big brother.
"Oh, that's not a high degree." The corners of her eldest brother's mouth twitched, quite contemptuous.
"I don't know what education you have, big brother, and which institution of higher learning you attend?" Zhao Yuankang asked quietly.
"This ...... You...... I? Her eldest brother stammered and was speechless.
It turned out that her eldest brother was only initially Chinese, not only had a low level of education, but also was vulgar, and belonged to the type of a brave husband.
With such a low educational background, he still wants to laugh at others, which is simply humiliating.
This IQ is simply insufficient balance!!
"High education does not mean high ability, since ancient times, in today's society, ability, the courage to pay, can persevere, you can prove your strength. Academic qualifications only represent a stage of learning, and the university of society is still waiting for us to continue to work hard to further our studies. ”
Zhao Yuankang spoke eloquently, explaining his point of view quite confidently, and Father Li, who had been expressionless, also nodded.
"So how much money can you earn a year? Why should I be happy for my sister? ”
Her eldest brother was a little choked by him, and asked angrily.
"First of all, how much money to make, this is my **, no comment. Secondly, I have the ability to give your sister happiness, and everyone's definition of happiness is different, so it doesn't have to be measured by money. He was displeased, and he retorted.
"What is the definition of happiness in your mind?" Father Li, who had always remained indifferent, suddenly asked.
"My definition of happiness is as simple as it is sacred. This is the stage where the material foundation and the spiritual plane are perfectly combined. After a moment's thought, he politely replied to the question.
"The material foundation is the guarantee, but the two people's spiritual world is connected, the piano is harmonious, and the case is the key, not only the happiness of the two people, but also the blessing of the old people on both sides in the future."
He said this without leaking, and obviously had a high emotional intelligence, which made the future father-in-law smile rarely.
"Young people, ambitious, but marriage is not child's play, we are just meeting for the first time, and we need to know more." Father Li's tone was obviously much kinder.
"That's natural, don't worry, I'll keep trying." He must be very polite to his elders.
"Xiao Zhao, I heard that you are studying history, what about me, I usually like to listen to Yue Fei's biography, please give me an evaluation of Yue Fei." Father Li narrowed the distance, stared at him, and asked with a smile.
This made Zhao Yuankang a little flustered, and he was quite surprised by Father Li's hobby, but this was also an opportunity to show himself.
Maybe if you seize this opportunity, you can get your father-in-law in one fell swoop. You should be cautious about this topic.
His mind spun rapidly, integrating Yue Fei's life deeds and the image of the commentary, and making a fair summary before he opened his mouth to reply.
"Yue Feiqi's people, the name of bravery, needless to say, his loyalty to resist Dajin is also praised by future generations, and when the nation is in danger, he dares to stand up, which is a rare clear stream in the Southern Song Dynasty."
"Although his death is somewhat unjust, there is also the weakness of his low political sensitivity. He first committed the taboo of high merit and shocking the Lord. In the eyes of the common people and even the opponents, there are only Yue Fei and Yue Jiajun, but they all say that Gaozong is incompetent. Therefore, he was feared by the emperor and used by Qin Hui. ”
"Secondly, he shouldn't have asked the two saints to return to the court, the two saints are back, where is Gaozong, although the old emperor Song Huizong has abdicated in old age, but Song Qinzong was in office when he was captured, and he was in the prime of life, and after he came back, it was difficult to settle. This concern is not unreasonable, and the change of the Ming Dynasty is an example of the restoration of the abolished emperor Ming Yingzong. Moreover, it is said that the Jin State had planned to establish another imperial court for Song Qinzong, which was opposed to the Southern Song Dynasty. ”
"There is another point, Yue Fei should not participate in the matter of the imperial family's establishment of the prince, which makes Gaozong quite unhappy in his heart, and many factors converge, which makes Gaozong feel murderous, and only then does he have the resentment of Fengbo Pavilion."
"Grievances through the ages have been left to future generations to comment, and Yue Fei's heart of loyalty to the country has become a spirit that has been praised from generation to generation."
"Okay, it's really exciting, it's really incisive, it's just a great talent, come, come, Xiao Zhao, tell me about the Yang family again."
Father Li was full of smiles, and he actually bypassed the coffee table, sat beside him, and asked him for advice on the future of the Yang family, which really flattered him.
He didn't expect that he and his father-in-law had so many topics in history, and gradually communicated harmoniously, and was completely recognized by his father-in-law.
After a while, his mother-in-law and sister-in-law had prepared a sumptuous meal, and he was let to the top with his eldest brother as an accompaniment.
The eldest brother was obviously unwilling, and took the opportunity of drinking to frequently challenge him, wanting to get him drunk and make him ugly.
But he didn't expect that although Zhao Yuankang seemed to be polite and polite, the amount of alcohol was very amazing, on the one hand, it came from the natural quantity, on the other hand, it came from the acquired exercise, and it strengthened a few points in the cold weather in the Northeast, and now ordinary people are not his opponents.
He pretended to shirk and drove to show the enemy weakness, lure the other party to the bait, and make this reckless man take it lightly.
"It's okay, don't leave tonight, there is a hotel outside the community, let's leave tomorrow morning." Her eldest brother said with a smug face.
"Okay, then I'll be with you to the end." He smiled slyly.
The next battle made everyone present dumbfounded.
Zhao Yuankang drank ten glasses of wine (eight money cups) in one go, his face did not change, and he still talked and laughed. The eldest brother stiffened his head, like drinking arsenic.
After drinking the eighth cup, it was already shaking, and finally it was really uncontrollable, so I turned around and ran into the toilet and vomited.
He didn't give up, after all, he had to deal with it in the future.
This banquet ended in a hurry, but he believed that his father-in-law had been impressed.
