Chapter 412: The Day After Tomorrow
Haida faculty and staff residential area, land 6200 slowly drove in. Li Mai sat in the co-pilot, and it was Wei Zhenhua who was driving.
"I won't go up with you. Wei Zhenhua said.
Li Mai was arranging his hairstyle and collar in front of the makeup mirror, and when he heard this, he was shocked and said, "Didn't you say that you would accompany me to meet my future mother-in-law?"
"That's your future mother-in-law, not mine, you go up by yourself, I'll wait for you in the car. Wei Zhenhua said.
"No, I'm nervous. Li Mai's voice was indeed a little trembling.
Wei Zhenhua smiled bitterly and said, "Look at your little bit of talent." Mother-in-law is not a cannibal, what are you afraid of. ”
"If I knew what I was afraid of, I wouldn't be afraid. Li Mai said distressedly.
He was afraid of anyone, but he was afraid of Cai Fenqin. The first few times I was because I inquired about Zhang Xiaoyu's whereabouts, and the matter was strict, so I didn't care about being afraid. Now it's different, he came to inquire about Zhang Xiaoyu's birthday this time, and almost everyone thinks that he and Zhang Xiaoyu are already de facto husband and wife. Visiting Cai Fenqin is a visit to her mother-in-law - it's strange if you're not nervous or afraid.
Therefore, Li Maicai pulled Wei Zhenhua to strengthen his courage, but the sworn party retreated. After all, you have to face your own affairs.
After getting out of the car, Wei Zhenhua helped Li Mai unload the gifts or something, and said, "Let me tell you, it's not a marriage proposal, you don't need to buy so many things." Look at it, what kinds of precious medicinal materials, gold and silver jewelry, brand-name bags, etc., can your mother-in-law use them?"
Li Mai said resolutely, "Whether it can be used or not is not a matter for me to consider, but whether she is satisfied or not is a question for me to consider." ”
As he spoke, he picked up a dozen gift bags, large and small, with a few bags in one hand, and finally Wei Zhenhua hung the largest bag around Li Mai's neck. Suddenly, Li Mai, who was in a suit and leather shoes, became a person selling binoculars on the street, and his body was full of various things.
"At this scale, you're going to have to use a truck to pull the bride price on the day you propose. Wei Zhenhua said helplessly.
Li Mai smiled, "That's how willful." ”
"Let's go, remember, today's purpose is to get Zhang Xiaoyu's birthday. Don't be fooled by your mother-in-law and forget your purpose. I don't think your mother-in-law is a fuel-efficient lamp. Wei Zhenhua admonished.
"All right. ”
Li Mai took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll go up." ”
"Go ahead. ”
Li Mai resolutely turned around and walked towards the stairs, quite like a strong man who will never return.
Cai Fenqin watched the morning news in the living room, and looked at the wall clock on the wall from time to time. Yesterday, I received a call from my daughter, saying that Li Mai was going to visit today. The future son-in-law was coming, so she naturally pushed down today's lesson and waited at home.
It's still a few minutes before the scheduled time, I'm afraid I'm going to be late, right? Cai Fenqin thought so, but the doorbell rang suddenly.
walked over to open the door, raised his eyes and saw Li Mai's extremely bright smile, and then was stunned by the gift bag that Li Mai was carrying in his hand.
"Xiao Li, what are you...... What to do with so many things to buy, come on in. Cai Fenqin hurriedly opened the door.
Li Mai smiled innocently, walked in, put everything down, wiped the sweat from his forehead exaggeratedly, and said, "Auntie, I don't know what you like, Xiaoyu won't tell me, I'll pick some casually, I hope you like it." ”
"You kid, you're coming, you're coming, you're bringing something, and you're buying so much. Cai Fenqin said, her eyes were scanning the gifts that could be said to be all over the ground, she didn't value the material, but she must value the material brought by her future son-in-law, "How much does it cost." ”
Li Mai smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't have much money." Touching his nose, Li Mai pointed to the largest bag and said, "These are the medicinal herbs I asked someone to get, and they can be used to make soup or something, which is suitable for the elderly." The others are common jewelry bags and stuff. Actually, I didn't understand any of this, so I just bought some. ”
Cai Fenqin picked up a bag and looked at it, the label on it clearly said "79999", she looked at several bags and those jade and jewelry in exquisite boxes, and found that the price was tens of thousands of yuan.
"Xiao Li, you are too good at spending money. Cai Fenqin looked at Li Mai and said sternly, "Where can I use these old women." You see, it's all luxury. I'm afraid these things cost a lot of money, right?"
Li Mai suddenly became nervous, and quickly thought, is the future mother-in-law blaming herself for not spending a lot of money or is it just talking?
But no matter what, it's important to deal with the past well.
At that moment, Li Mai said, "Auntie, these are my intentions, it really doesn't matter if you have money or not." You are Xiaoyu's mother, and I should do this, within my bounds. ”
Cai Fenqin's face gradually softened, and she nodded with satisfaction. Of course, she learned about Li Mai's situation from Zhang Xiaoyu, a genuine local tyrant. That big villa is hundreds of millions, and these hundreds of thousands are really drizzle.
Li Mai did not have the idea of using money to suppress people, he agreed with the idea that he wore a hat as big as he had a big head. In essence, it can be said that the concept of thousands of dollars and hundreds of thousands is the same in his eyes.
"Don't stand, you kid, sit down. I'm going to make you some tea, whatever tea you like, I've got it all. Cai Fenqin hurriedly greeted and said.
"Auntie, don't be busy, just come with some boiling water. Li Mai hurriedly said, while sorting out the gifts and putting them aside.
"What's the matter, how can you drink boiling water here Auntie, I'll make you some Tieguanyin. Cai Fenqin said while busy opening, "I haven't had a chance to thank you for Qincheng's matter, I will stay here to eat at noon, and it is still okay for my aunt to cook." ”
Li Mai hurriedly said, "Auntie, you are too outside, Qincheng's business is my business, and the family doesn't talk about it." ”
Cai Fenqin smiled and narrowed her eyes, glanced at Li Mai, and didn't say anything.
Li Mai also realized that his mouth was about to go, scratched his head in embarrassment, and sat there in a standard sitting position. Seeing that Cai Fenqin didn't mean to be unhappy, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart - she should have acquiesced to her son-in-law.
Cai Fenqin brought the tea, in fact, she had already prepared it.
"Thank you, Auntie, sit down, Auntie. Li Mai hurriedly stood up and took it with both hands and said.
Cai Fenqin sat down and looked at Li Mai with a kind smile. When you look at it as a son-in-law, it naturally means that it is different.
Li Mai smiled awkwardly, found the topic and said, "Auntie, Qincheng has already gone to the army over there." I'll arrange for you and Xiaoyu to go see him later. The people below gave feedback that Qin Cheng's ideological attitude was very good, he was willing to accept the arrangements of the troops, and he worked very hard and obediently. ”
Obviously, as a mother, this is undoubtedly what you want to hear the most.
"That's good, that's good. Cai Fenqin sighed slightly and said, "Qincheng, this kid has been mischievous since he was a child, and he is completely opposite to his sister. Since I was a child, I have caused trouble at home, and this time I got into a big disaster. Xiao Li, if it weren't for your help, I really don't know what to do. As a man like him, if something happens, I don't have the face to see his father. ”
"Auntie, don't say that. Li Mai hurriedly said, "Qincheng is a twenty-year-old young man, as an adult, his own life is chosen by himself, whether he is a dragon or a worm depends entirely on himself." It's already a great thing that you've raised him as an adult. Besides, I talked to Qin Cheng. This kid is still very upright in his thinking. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to great lengths to get rid of the CIA's plot and run back. Auntie, don't worry, the army is an excellent school, and Qin Cheng will definitely be able to learn a lot of things in it. I could tell that he was a very talented soldier. ”
"Auntie, don't worry, my father has a lot of old subordinates in the army, and they will take care of Qincheng. Li Mai said.
Nodding with satisfaction, Cai Fenqin, the mother-in-law, became more and more satisfied with Li Mai, and said, "Xiao Li, I heard about it, and I know that you came to me today for a purpose." ”
Looking at Cai Fenqin's kind smile, Li Mai lowered her head embarrassedly and said, "Xiaoyu is right, she followed me in a daze, and I owe her a piece of the pursuit process." I'll be sure to make up for this process with all my might. However, he didn't even tell me about my birthday, and he blocked the news. I don't know where to start, and it's very distressing. ”
Cai Fenqin smiled and said, "You are a smart child, you must know that they also do their work to me." Xiao Li, how are you going to convince me to tell you Xiaoyu's birthday?"
Shaking his head in annoyance, Li Mai said, "Auntie, I haven't thought of any way to convince you. I know that as long as I come with sincerity and sincerity, you will definitely sue me. ”
Hehe smiled, Cai Fenqin nodded Li Mai and said, "You kid is really good at talking." If I don't sue you, won't I become an insincere and insincere old woman?"
"No, no, no. Li Mai hurriedly said, "Auntie, I definitely didn't mean that." You are a sensible person, and you will definitely sue me. Moreover, now except for you, no one can actually say exactly Xiaoyu's birthday. I went to my aunt, and what my aunt said didn't match the ID card. I really can't figure out what Xiaoyu's lunar birthday is. ”
"Auntie, the main purpose of coming here today is to see you, and inquiring about Xiaoyu's birthday is actually secondary. ”
Even if Li Mai knew that he was planning to subtly force Cai Fenqin to tell Zhang Xiaoyu's birthday, he couldn't admit this thing even if he was killed, and Li Mai was not stupid enough to do that.
Cai Fenqin looked at Li Mai with a smile, her eyes were like looking at her own child, obviously Li Mai's appearance made her very satisfied, she said slowly, "Xiaoyu's birthday is a little messy. When her dad was still around, we used to argue a lot about it. The date her dad remembered was not the same as the date I remembered, a difference of one day. It was raining heavily on the day Xiaoyu was born, and I can't remember exactly what time I entered the delivery room, but I remember that Xiaoyu was born after midnight, but her father insisted that it was before midnight. ”
Li Mai suddenly realized, "So that's the case? So, Auntie, what day is the month?"
Cai Fenqin smiled slightly and said, "August 1st." ”
"The day after tomorrow!"
