Chapter 150: Engagement (Part I)! (Ask for a commuter pass)
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zheng Wentong's family has all finished worshipping the year.
Zheng Wentong and his grandparents said that they would travel to Yanjing in the first half of this year, and they would take a look at their uncle by the way.
Grandma couldn't hide her excitement, although Shang Bin and Shang Jun, the two nephews and nieces, broke her heart.
But after all, her uncle is her own brother, and it is always good for the sister and brother to see each other, after all, for their age, they will see each other less in the future.
Grandma also talked about Zheng Wentong's girlfriend Bai Xiaolu, "Your uncles have all seen her, and praise Xiaolu is a very polite, sensible and beautiful girl, and she will become your virtuous helper in the future." If we go to Yanjing, we can go to Puhai first and take the time to meet this child. Grandma also has some things at the bottom of the box, which are for you grandchildren. ”
Zheng Wentong said that he and Bai Xiaolu would get engaged first, but both of them were busy with work, and they would come to visit their grandparents when they had time.
On the afternoon of the third day of junior high school, Zheng Wentong drove to Hangzhou with his parents, Zheng Wentong and his father Zheng Xingjian switched cars, and his grandmother also came together.
The aunt persuaded her, "Xiaolu's family only came to Mom and Dad, you used to be a grandmother, Xiaolu's grandparents, do you want to go over?" It's not a wedding banquet, everyone's seven aunts and eight aunts all get together. ”
"If you want to go and see Xiaolu, then my sister-in-law and I will accompany you to Puhai and visit Puhai for a few more days, anyway, Wentong's old bungalow has enough rooms, and you can live in it."
Zheng Wentong invited his family to come over as guests, "If you plan to come over, let me say it in advance, and Xiaolu and I will receive you." If you are curious about filming, you can also take you to the crew to see. ”
On the evening of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zheng Wentong's family of three arrived in Hangzhou, and Zheng Wentong called his girlfriend first.
"Hey, husband, have you arrived?" Bai Xiaolu asked her boyfriend.
Zheng Wentong coughed, Bai Xiaolu was very clever, "Uncle, aunt is good." ”
Zhou Yuling smiled, "Little deer, when did you arrive?" ”
"Auntie, it won't be a while since we arrived." White Fawn said.
Zheng Wentong greeted his girlfriend, "Xiaolu, it's late now, let's go to Four Seasons Sands for dinner in the evening, you bring your uncle and aunt, and our two families will go to the hotel to meet." ”
"Okay, Mom——, Wentong's parents have arrived, let's go to Four Seasons Sands for dinner in the evening." Bai Xiaolu forgot to hang up the phone.
Zheng Xingjian rarely criticized his son, "Invite Xiaolu's parents to dinner together, even if you can't come, isn't it better for you to make a phone call to invite, I don't understand the etiquette at all, you weren't like this before." ”
Zheng Wentong humbly taught, "Dad, you are right in criticism, you wait a minute, the location of this restaurant is more difficult to determine, I will set a location first." ”
"Good afternoon Mr. Zheng, this is the ICBC Express Centurion customer service line, how can I help you?"
"In the evening, I want to have dinner with my family in the Jinsha Hall of the Four Seasons Hotel in West Lake, six people, about seven o'clock, help me book a place in advance, thank you." Zheng Wentong said.
"Okay, Mr. Zheng, we will arrange it for you immediately, we will notify you by phone or text message after the reservation is successful, is it convenient for you to answer the phone later?" The voice of the customer service lady is very good.
"Yes, no problem." Zheng Wentong said.
After Zheng Wentong hung up the phone, Zhou Yuling was very curious about her son's call, "You haven't booked yet, so you asked Xiaolu's parents to go to this restaurant for dinner, in case there is no place, how embarrassing is it?" ”
"This kind of high-end Chinese restaurant will reserve some two or three tables of motorized seats, just to prevent the VIP customers who cannot receive temporary reservations."
"I don't want to owe favors, if the credit card customer service can't handle it, I will contact the person in charge of Taobao, and I can also help arrange it. After all, Weimeng Media and Taobao have cooperated fairly smoothly in live broadcasting, and they are local tigers in Hangzhou. Zheng Wentong replied.
After a while, the credit card customer service called Zheng Wentong back and said that he had booked a six-seat VIP room, and the reservation time was between 19 and 19:30.
After booking the restaurant, Zheng Wentong called his girlfriend's mother, "Auntie, yes, yes, have you and your uncle set off?" ”
"Eating at home, it's convenient at any time, in this way, tomorrow I will cook with Xiaolu, cook for you, Xiaolu's skills are rising, you let her show her hand, okay, okay, the restaurant has been set, if you go to the hotel first, let Xiaolu report my name." Zheng Wentong said.
Zhou Yuling was a little sour, "Your mother-in-law's kung fu is getting better and better day by day, you are too lazy to die at home, and you are not even happy to pinch a string bean, and you even cook when you go to your mother-in-law's side." ”
"Xiaolu's mother's cooking skills are delicious, and she is about to catch up with you, mother, she is probably reluctant to let her daughter cook, I and Xiaolu are only worthy of you!" Zheng Wentong said with a smile.
"Day by day, this mouth is like smeared with honey, praising people is not worth their lives, why didn't you think about finding a girlfriend in college?" Zhou Yuling was curious.
"No, the main thing is that I haven't met a suitable one, so I haven't talked about it." Zheng Wentong rarely chatted with his parents.
Zheng Wentong's parents have accepted Bai Xiaolu, and Bai Xiaolu's parents are also very satisfied with Zheng Wentong.
Zhou Yuling didn't believe it, "In the four years of college, there are so many girls in your school, as well as female classmates in high school and junior high school, none of them have taken a fancy to them?" ”
"I met one at school, and I took the initiative to ask for the other party's contact information at that time, but it turned out that there was still no fate." Zheng Wentong said.
"What's going on, tell me about it? Is it because their parents don't agree, or do you think there is a big gap in family conditions? "Zhou Yuling is very gossipy.
"The main thing is that her husband doesn't agree." Zheng Wentong said.
"you!" Zhou Yuling was half angry, and she couldn't wait to kick this unlucky son out of the car.
"Actually, it's a misunderstanding, she's a school teacher, and she looks relatively tender, I thought it was our school sister at first, but after adding contact information, I found out that there was an oolong." Zheng Wentong couldn't cry or laugh.
Zheng Wentong parked the car, and when he got out of the car, he suddenly jumped on his back alone, and Li Huayan was shouting behind him, "Xiaolu, come down quickly, what do you look like, girls should be steady." ”
Zheng Wentong carried his girlfriend behind his back, "Okay, come down, hurry up and say hello to my parents." ”
Bai Xiaolu was very obedient, and hurriedly came down to say hello to her boyfriend's parents, "Hello uncle and aunt." ”
Zhou Yuling actually likes Bai Xiaolu's frank personality very much, "Hello Xiaolu, this is your father and mother, hello." ”
The parents on both sides were busy greeting each other, Daddy Bai was tall and thin, and Zheng Xingjian was of medium height, but he had a Chinese face and a bit of a beer belly, which was very majestic.
Zhou Yuling and Li Huayan are both slightly chubby, and both of them have more cheerful personalities, but Li Huayan looks a little stricter.
Bai Xiaolu held her boyfriend's hand and complained, "I'm bored at home for the New Year, I have long wanted to go out." ”
"Hey, why didn't my mother agree to go to the Maldives, how comfortable it is to go to the beach to soak in the hot springs and do a spa." The white fawn was a little depressed.
"Your mother thinks it's not appropriate for me to pay for them to travel, and she is a little distressed to let you pay. If you earn more money this year, there will be less pressure to honor them at that time. Zheng Wentong pinched his girlfriend's nose.
The Four Seasons Golden Sands Room has a separate entrance, but everyone still walks through the winding corridor from the hotel lobby to the restaurant.
On both sides of the cloister have built several mini Jiangnan gardens, one step at a time, green, fat, red and thin, and there is an ancient rhyme of "winding paths leading to secluded places".
Bai Xiaolu also came back for the first time, "Wow, don't say anything else, just looking at this scenery, I feel that this restaurant is very stylish, and the taste should be good." ”
Li Huayan joked, "I don't know if the taste is good, the price is definitely not cheap." ”
The VIP room is an independent pavilion style, scattered between the bamboo forest courtyards, with ancient charm and special privacy, which is very suitable for private gatherings like Zheng Wentong.
The waiter led Zheng Wentong and his entourage into the private room, and the waiter first got into a pot of dragon well, and then said to Zheng Wentong, "You can order through Alipay or WeChat scan the code, and if you pay with Alipay, you can enjoy a discount." ”
Zheng Wentong admired in his heart that Ahri's influence had penetrated into the entire city of Hangzhou, clothing, food, housing, transportation, and all aspects.
Micro Xinke has a long way to go if it wants to catch up with Internet giants like Ahri or Penguin.
The six of them sat at the round table, Zheng Xingjian and Bai's father sat together, the two mothers sat opposite, and Bai Xiaolu and her boyfriend sat together.
Zheng Xingjian asked Daddy Bai to order, Daddy Bai asked Zheng Xingjian to order, and the two of them pushed back and forth. Bai Xiaolu coquettishly, "You can't be sure, why don't you let the two mothers come, when you are sure, I guess I'm already hungry." ”
Father Bai was relieved and handed the menu to Li Huayan, "We usually go out to eat, and your mother originally ordered it." ”
Bai Xiaolu sat with his mother, helping to check the menu.
Zheng Wentong has eaten a few times and gave advice, "This restaurant specializes in Cantonese cuisine and Zhejiang cuisine, Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine are similar, Auntie, you can order Zhejiang cuisine, and I will let them serve a few more signature dishes when the time comes." ”
Father Bai asked Zheng Xingjian if he drank alcohol, Zheng Xingjian said: "Today, the two families are sitting together, it is a happy event, everyone drinks a little, our brothers drink some white, Xiaolu's mother and Wentong's mother drink some red wine." Wen Tong is allergic to alcohol, so he drinks some juice with Xiaolu and lets the two of them be drivers. ”
Zheng Wentong instructed the waiter, "A bottle of Moutai, a bottle of Merlot red wine, a bottle of coconut milk, coconut milk is hot for trouble, thank you."
Daddy Bai was very happy, "Wen Tong is good at everything, but he can't drink, and every time he eats, he is a little unhappy." When we were young, we went to my father-in-law's house, didn't we drink and fall asleep that time? ”
Zheng Xingjian felt the same way, "Who said it wasn't, the first time I went to Wentong's mother's house, my father-in-law was a military veteran, my wife and two younger brothers drank very well, and the three of them took turns to fight and drank me down directly." My father-in-law thinks that I have good wine, and I don't go crazy when I'm drunk, and my character is reliable, so he recognized me as an uncle. ”
