Chapter 36: The Strongest Parents Meet
The early morning sun, of course, not only illuminated the buildings of the film and television city, but also woke up Zhao Xu and his father and son.
Today is the weekend, and originally, Zhao Xu was going to take his father to take a good look around Longcang City, so he couldn't sleep lazy.
When he came back from Li Jing's house last night, Lao Zhao didn't give him a good face, despised him for being "incompetent", and couldn't stay overnight.
Zhao Xu could only smile bitterly, his father's thinking was too off-line, sometimes he was very conservative, and sometimes he was more open than him.
"If it weren't for the fact that the eldest daughter of the family was knowledgeable and knew that she invited me, I would have taken the train back in the middle of the night!" Lao Zhao ate the breakfast that Zhao Xu bought for him.
"Dad, do you really want to agree to dinner?" Zhao Xu put a hemp ball in his father's bowl, "You're welcome, excuse me?"
"Of course you want to go!" Lao Zhao glared, "Your mother said, let me put the tricks on the spot today, observe and observe, your elm head is not open, we can't stand it, let us take the initiative as parents, it would be better if we could see our in-laws, we peers have something to talk about, you are not young, our old man will give you a good start first, and you will develop smoothly......"
Zhao Xu almost didn't squirt out of the black rice porridge in his mouth - he expected it when his father secretly reported to his mother, who would have thought that his mother would be so off-line, he really didn't know where to complain.
What's the hurry? Is it normal for a modern city to get married in his thirties? He is still a few days away from being thirty!
"You don't have to worry about the bride price! Don't move your own salary in the past few years, keep your expenses after marriage, your father and I have been a butcher all my life, and I have saved some money, today my father will go to see, if the girl doll is okay in all aspects, let your mother give you money at noon, go and buy gold and silver jewelry, haha!" Old man Zhao became happier and happier the more he spoke, and laughed.
"Dad, my father!" Zhao Xu couldn't cry or laugh, "If you want to be so unserious again, I don't dare to take you there, don't scare people." ”
"Alas, are you stupid when I am a hat? I just said these words in front of you, how could I be so embarrassed in front of other people's eldest daughters?" Lao Zhao patted his chest: "Ten miles and eight towns, who doesn't know that my Lao Zhao is the most porcelain? I don't worry, your father is very reliable!"
"......" Zhao Xu sighed, as the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, how can he feel that his father is very much like a bear child?
"What are you doing with a sad face?" Seeing his son's appearance, Lao Zhao was unhappy again: "You just say, are you interested in that big girl?"
"I didn't, but I felt a little bit in the past two days. Zhao Xu replied truthfully, "But I haven't reached the bottom of the marriage discussion." ”
"Rare people rush up!" Lao Zhao frowned and patted his son's shoulder hard: "Back then, Dad, I chased your mother, it was called a storm, and I gave your grandpa and grandma two catties of pork belly every day, rain or shine, and your mother's whole family was breathless by my enthusiasm, this is called a gentleman, understand?"
Zhao Xu's grandfather is very short, he can imagine that back then, as soon as the golden monkey-like grandfather opened the door every day, he was blocked at the door by his huge father like a giant bear and couldn't get out.
"Dad, I'm convinced, no matter what, please hold on to it today. Zhao Xu pleaded.
"I really care about the feelings of other people's daughters, yes, it's a little bit of growth. Lao Zhao laughed and walked out of the door first: "Let's go, we can't go to other people's doors empty-handed, we have to buy some gifts." ”
..................
Lao Zhao, who pays attention to etiquette, failed to buy anything, because Li Jing's car was already parked at the door of Zhao Xu's community.
She already knew that Zhao Xu's Lexus was lost, so since she had a treat, she couldn't let people take the bus to crowd the subway, and the other party was Zhao Xu's father, she attached great importance to it, and she got up to put on makeup before dawn in the morning, so she must have the best first impression.
Seeing Zhao Xu from a distance, Li Jing waved her hand, and then she saw that Zhao Xu was walking next to a "little giant" who was half a head taller than Zhao Xu, could it be Zhao Xu's father?
The other side.
"Oh, my son, why did the girl come and pick it up herself? What did you tell them? You stupid boy is so rude. Lao Zhao is a particular person in etiquette, and then suddenly his eyes glared: "I'm a good girl, is this girl a big star? Why is she so good-looking, what did she eat to grow up?"
Zhao Xu slapped his forehead, and his heart began to retreat, this old man's voice! He thought he was muttering, but what about the facts? Not to mention Li Jing, the people on the opposite street heard it.
Li Jing's cheeks were red, of course she was happy to be praised for her good looks, especially her sweetheart's father, but this elder's voice was too loud, right?
Although she was a little embarrassed, she still straightened the corners of her clothes and stepped forward: "Good morning, uncle!"
"Okay, good, big girl, you're good!" Lao Zhao smiled from ear to ear, it was really the ancestral tomb that was smoking, and his son actually found such a beautiful object?
"Uncle, I'll take you to breakfast first, and then we'll go shopping, I'll be your driver today, you can go anywhere!" Li Jing said with a smile.
Her embarrassment only lasted for a short while, and she regained her composure, spoke politely and politely, and was generous, she was not a little girl who had just left the boudoir, how could she be an elite in the shopping mall, and her psychological quality was not to be said.
"Good, good. Lao Zhao smiled and showed his teeth, he seemed to be a fairy who could only say the word "good", his son has grown up and has a future, well, he is more promising than he was back then.
can't say that, his son and his mother were also famous beauties in ten miles and eight towns back then, but unfortunately Zhao Xu followed his appearance, he was not handsome at all, and his face was still so big.
"What's good, Dad, didn't we have breakfast just now?" Zhao Xu took a deep breath and complained beside him.
"Oh oh, yes, yes, girl, don't break the bank, if you haven't eaten, go eat first, and our father and son will walk around for a while. Lao Zhao hurriedly said.
"Then let's go shopping, I got up early, and I've already padded my stomach before. Li Jing smiled and opened the car door for Lao Zhao, and Lao Zhao glared at Zhao Xu's leopard: "Wooden stake, you?
"Uncle, you're welcome, get in the car first, and then I'll take you wherever you want. Li Jing played the round, and when Lao Zhao heard it, he was happier in his heart - this girl is slim, polite, can speak, and is very good at defending his son, God, where did you find a good girl?
"No, I'll have to find an opportunity to send a text message later, let the child 10 times a day, and urge him well, such a good girl, but cherish it!" Lao Zhao thought in his heart, and got into the car with a smile.
..................
"What? Is the eldest girl the boss of your company? Or is it the general manager?" In the car, Zhao Xu introduced Li Jing to Lao Zhao, which startled Lao Zhao, "Oh, it's amazing, what kind of noble person are you reincarnated, girl? Why are you so good? Talented and good-looking, so young to become the general manager? It's not easy! It's not easy, it's really a big city, in our village, we can't raise such a brilliant baby like you!"
Lao Zhao Kua people never turn, Li Jing, as the general manager, is naturally full of prestige in the company, and of course there are many people who pat on the back, in the workplace.
However, being praised so bluntly, this person is still an elder, and she is really experiencing it for the first time, although she is very useful when she hears the words, she still feels a little hot cheeks, and sighs in her heart: Zhao Xu's temperament should be with his mother.
Just when she didn't know how to respond modestly, the call came.
The car Bluetooth can answer the phone, and the caller ID on the color screen on the right side of the steering wheel is "Dad" - her father's phone.
"Hey, Qingqing. The phone was connected, Qingqing is Li Jing's nickname, and the voice of a middle-aged man came from the speaker, a little Longcang local accent, and everyone in the car could hear it.
"Hey, Dad, are you looking for anything from me?" asked Li Jing.
"Where are you now? Are you free this weekend?" asked the other end of the phone.
"I have something to do outside, tell me, is there anything you want me to help with?" Li Jing replied.
"If you are free, come to my gym, today Zhao Xiaoman is coming to the North Film and Television City to film, I want to go over and have a look. Said on the other end of the phone.
Zhao Xiaoman is a famous actress, of course, she is not young anymore, she is a star of the previous era, she is already middle-aged, and she was also a smash hit back then.
Li Jing's head is too big, why is it today? What the hell is going on? Why don't you say it in advance?
"Dad, you are so old, how can you still learn from other young people to chase stars......" Li Jing complained, saw Zhao Xu's father and son through the rearview mirror, and hurriedly shut up, she didn't want Zhao Xu's father to think that he was usually not filial, thinking that the politeness just now was all faked.
"Oh, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't pass the second old exam, I wouldn't have asked you to pick me up, Pearl Film and Television City is too far away, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, and people will leave again, this is a scene that came to make up for the filming, and it will be over in a while. Said on the other end of the phone.
When Li Jing heard this, she was very embarrassed, she made an appointment with someone, and everyone was in her car, and her father suddenly called her, what is this called?
"Girl, don't worry, I don't necessarily have to go anywhere to play, it's the same everywhere, you can drive directly to pick up your father, I also know Zhao Xiaoman, a big star, it's rare to see it." Lao Zhao said.
Li Jing was very moved, Zhao Xu's father was too understanding.
She didn't know Lao Zhao's thoughts, he already wanted to see his parents, and now it's just right, kill two birds with one stone!
"Qingqing, who is talking?" Lao Zhao's voice was not small, and Li Jing's father on the other end of the phone thought that someone was quarreling with his daughter.
"You'll find out later, don't talk about it, I'll drive. After Li Jing finished speaking, she hung up the phone, "I'm really sorry uncle, my dad didn't tell me in advance." ”
"It's okay, I'll go and see your dad. Lao Zhao smiled and comforted: "To give birth to such an excellent daughter as you, your father must be an elegant gentleman!"
When Li Jing heard this, her face was a little strange, and she didn't know how to answer.
Zhao Xu has never met Li Jing's father, but he didn't expect today's game to really become a meeting between the two parties.
............
"Philosophy gym. After a while, Lao Zhao followed his son and they got out of the car, and saw the huge plaque on the storefront on the side of the road, "This name is very special, is this Lingzun's fitness gym?"
"Hmm. Li Jing nodded, "My father's name is Li Philosophy, so this gym is called 'Philosophy Gym', which means nothing else." ”
"I understand, it's the same as the barber shop at the entrance of our village is called 'Xiaohong Barbershop', because the person who shaves his head is called Zhao Xiaohong, which means the same thing. Lao Zhao nodded as a matter of course.
Not long after, a middle-aged man walked out, wearing a coat while walking, he was about the same height as Zhao Xu, but the bulging muscles of that body were quite scary, and it was incredible that a middle-aged man could have such an exaggerated bodybuilder.
"That'...... That's my dad. Li Jing said in a low voice, a little embarrassed - just now Zhao Xu's father asked if her father was an elegant gentleman.
I've never seen an elegant gentleman look like this.
"Girl!" the middle-aged man put on his coat and walked over, there was only an undershirt inside, and it was not too cold, "These two are?"
"Hello, Zhao Daniu. Zhao Xu's father walked over and stretched out his right hand.
"Hello, Philosophies Lee. Li Jing's father also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Lao Zhao.
The moment they held their hands, the eyes of the two middle-aged and elderly men lit up at the same time, like beasts in the forest, hiking thousands of miles and suddenly encountering the same kind.
Just as promised, they began to compete.
"Zhao Daniu, it's very similar to the name of the supporting character in the novel, were you the younger brother of which protagonist you used to?" Li Jing and her father began to work harder, and complained.
"Haha, Li Philosophy, your name is not good, just like you, are you still philosophical? Philosophy has long muscles? You can pull it down!" Although I didn't quite understand what the other party meant by "the protagonist's little brother", anyway, he was provocative, Lao Zhao was very excited, and his mouth was not forgiving, and he responded very "warmly".
Their eyes met, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of heat (kuai) and blood (huo).
Zhao Xu and Li Jing covered their foreheads at the same time - why did it become like this?
