Chapter 36: Meeting the Future Father-in-law

Although Shiyi's home is a family home belonging to the factory, it is naturally not too bad to live with his father as the factory director.

"It's a separate courtyard?"

As soon as you enter the yard, you can smell the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard, and the courtyard is full of plants, and the spring flowers are the most conspicuous at this time.

There is a small pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, in which a set of tea sets is placed, and it seems that the owner is also a tea lover.

"Dad, Mom, we're back." As soon as she entered, Shiyi shouted inside.

"You're back?"

Listening to the accent, Xia Li didn't expect Shiyi's mother to be from the magic capital, and at this time, a middle-aged woman wearing ordinary home clothes walked out of it.

Maybe she hasn't experienced the wind and sun, Shiyi's mother looks very young, not like a person in her forties, although she is wearing ordinary home clothes, but she has a sense of grace and luxury when she wears it.

"Hello Auntie." As soon as Shiyi's mother came out, Xia Li hurriedly bowed her head to say hello.

"It's Xiao Xia, my family often praises you in front of me, and today I see that you are really talented." Shiyi's mother looked at her daughter's boyfriend, she was quite satisfied from the outside, but she didn't know what was going on in other aspects?

"Come in, your father is waiting for you in the house." Shiyi's mother hurriedly beckoned Xia Li into the house.

After entering the house, Xia Li found that there was such a big gap between it and the courtyard, with flowers and plants outside, pavilions and pavilions.

The decoration of the house is so simple, even the furniture is very small, and the floor is all cement, which is extremely inconsistent with her father's identity as a factory director.

After entering the room, Xia Li felt uncomfortable all over his body, as if there was an invisible rope to help him tie him up, and he couldn't sit or stand.

Shiyi sent a glass of water: "You do it first, I'll go see what Dad is doing." With that, he walked towards the study.

Xia Li sat on one of the few chairs, and through the door of the study, he found that there were so many rooms, and the best decoration should be the study.

The bookshelves inside are all pear blossom wood, and the bookshelves are full of books, and even some of them are unique ancient books that cannot be bought on the market.

In the study, a middle-aged man in a white shirt sat at his desk and looked at the materials in his hand with a serious face.

As soon as Shiyi entered, the man looked up with a serious expression and saw that it was his daughter, his eyebrows gradually relaxed, and there was a smile on his face, he immediately threw away the information in his hand and said, "The baby girl is back." ”

Shiyi's father glanced at Xia Li outside, then tidied up his clothes and went out: "Xiao Xia, this is the second time we have met, right?" ”

Seeing that the person came out, Xia Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he quickly stood up and replied, "I saw it once downstairs in my company before." ”

"Don't be nervous, just sit down as if you were at home." Shiyi's father smiled and said gently.

Xia Li was very heartbroken, he thought that he had been reborn once, he had rich life experience, he shouldn't be nervous anymore when he saw him, he didn't think that his heart was pounding when he first met.

If it weren't for the experience of his previous life, seeing him with such a good attitude, Xia Li thought that he would not stop the two from being together.

"Smiling Tiger." Xia Xun scolded secretly.

Looking at the things on the table, Shiyi's father said, "Shiyi didn't tell you, I never accept gifts, and I take them with me when I go back." ”

Xia Li said respectfully: "You are my elder, and it is also a little bit of a heart for the junior to come and bring you a little gift, and these are all local specialties at home, which are not worth a few dollars." ”

"Next time, just don't allow people to come, and I'll be angry if I bring anything more."

Xia Li smiled and nodded, he couldn't understand why Chen Dongping called him over, climbing to such a high position in the system, his mind was really not something he could easily figure out.

"Listen to Shiyi say that you resigned and are going to return to your hometown to start a business?" Chen Dongping asked.

"Yes, the policy is good at this time, while I'm still young, let's see if I can take advantage of this wind to blow."

Chen Dongping stared at Xia Li's eyes and wanted to say something, and suddenly sighed again: "It's good to be young!" ”

"Dad, when someone first came to the door, you were like checking your household registration." Shiyi tugged on her father's arm and said coquettishly.

Looking at his daughter, Chen Dongping looked helpless, and he said lovingly: "Dad is just chatting with your friends, how can you check the household registration?" ”

"Uncle just talked to me about family life, it's fine."

Shiyi couldn't help but glance at Xia Li, looking at his restrained and uncomfortable appearance, thinking of helping him, this guy didn't even appreciate it.

Chen Dongping smiled and looked at his daughter with pampering eyes, and then said to Xia Li: "My girl has been pampered by me since she was a child, and I have to rely on her for everything, but there is no way who will let me be this baby girl, who will not hurt her." ”

"Xiao Xia, you're right?"

"Uh......" Xia Li was listening to the meaning of the old fox's words, but he didn't expect him to ask himself.

Xia Li didn't think much about it and said, "Uncle Chen, please rest assured, with me, I will never let Shiyi suffer half of the grievances." ”

"Oh? Why don't you let her be wronged, whether it's food and drink, what others have or don't, I give her the best, what do you have? ”

Xia Li didn't think about his casual answer, and Shiyi's father actually followed the words.

"Uncle Chen, I know the gap between myself and Shiyi, and I can't hide it that I went back to my hometown to start a business this time so that she can follow me in the future without being wronged." Xia Li said truthfully.

He only came back now, and when he was called over today, Chen Dongping just wanted to knock and beat him, so he simply had a showdown and told the story.

"Young people, ambitious, how difficult it is to come out and start a business, what guarantee do you have that you will succeed?" Chen Dongping looked at Xia Li with sharp eyes and asked.

"Dad, what are you doing, Xia Li is good to me, you are not allowed to treat him like this." On the side, Shiyi felt that the atmosphere was suddenly a little wrong, and she said to her father dissatisfied.

Chen Dongping, who usually clings to her, did not react this time, still staring at Xia Li.

"Even if you are from a poor family, how far can you go? I have a lot of people around me who are better than you and are staring at my daughter. ”

Xia Li knew that he had no way to promise him anything, so he could only stand up and say without humility or arrogance: "Uncle gave me two years, and I can talk to you on an equal footing." ”

Chen Dongping smiled, but it was obviously not a happy smile, Xia Li could see that this smile contained a lot of things.

"Okay, I'll see how you have chased me for half my life in two years."

Chen Dongping didn't know what was wrong today, he originally planned to tap it lightly, and let this kid slowly retreat in the future.

But today's arrogance in this kid made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't control the character that he had cultivated for most of his life.

In fact, this is exactly what Xia Li wanted to see, and it was also what he planned to do from the beginning, because in his previous life, he knew Chen Dongping's method of boiling frogs in warm water.

But this time, he just didn't want to follow his path, so he simply pierced this layer of window paper.

"I look forward to the day when you will be my equal." Chen Dongping finally added.

"Thank you Uncle Chen for your encouragement, there will definitely be such a day." Xia Li smiled lightly.

After saying this, Xia Li felt much more comfortable, and the sense of restraint that he had just entered the door before disappeared in an instant.

"Is this what it calls breaking and then standing?" Xia thought in thought.

Shiyi's mother, who was choosing vegetables in the kitchen, didn't expect the two to talk like this, she was a little unbelievable, after all, she hadn't seen her husband not control herself in front of outsiders for many years.

She knew that she had to come out at this time, otherwise the two people in the house would not be able to end: "Dongping, come and help me clean up the kitchen." ”

Hearing his wife's gentle voice, Chen Dongping hurriedly got up and replied, "Eh, go over immediately." ”

Seeing her father leaving, Shiyi hurriedly pulled Xia Li into another room and said softly: "My father probably cares about me very much, that's why he is like that, he is not usually like this, don't take it to heart." ”

Xia Li shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't get in the way, uncle is also for your good, I'm afraid that you will be deceived by me." ”

"But you are a little rushed to talk to my dad today, he is most proud of today's position, and he must think that you are proud and complacent when you say that."

Xia Li took his girlfriend's hand and said with a serious face: "I'm not talking big, today is also my promise to you, I will definitely marry you in a dignified manner." ”

Shiyi originally wanted to say a few words, but she was blushing with shame by Xia Li's words.

"What is this, she is blindly worried after a long time!"
