Chapter 221: Ugly Words Ahead
Zhou Qin is used to hard work, although she has a sore back when she takes the train, she will return to normal after sleeping.
She didn't let Sister Tao help with her luggage, and it was not too late for her to rest and then pack up, so it was convenient when she put her things in her heart and counted them.
Zhong Yu came back in the evening and told her mother about Ji Xueli's visit tomorrow, and Zhou Qin heard that the old chief Ji was going to come with him, so he objected:
"I haven't seen you alone, don't be in a hurry to see his parents first, his mother just had an operation not long ago, don't toss people to run, do a lot of good things to make him more patient."
Song Congchun echoed with a smile: "Mom is right, marriage is a big deal, so it should be done step by step, anyway, my brother-in-law is old, and I don't care about delaying these ten days and half a month." ”
Zhong Yu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Your brother-in-law shouted very smoothly, why is it not going with him at this time, this is an opinion on him?" ”
Song Congchun was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, he was playing with the small cushion in his hand, and said with a smile when he heard the words:
"I have no opinion on my brother-in-law, but I heard from others, the more difficult it is for my wife to get, the more the other party will cherish it, and it is not a problem to marry anything according to my sister's conditions, after all, I have shallow experience, and I am not as clear as my mother, so let my mother check it more and take my time."
Zhou Qin folded the clothes scattered on the sofa and said lightly: "I don't want to deliberately pick his thorns, just take a look before thinking about meeting his parents, after all, marriage is a lifelong thing, and you can't be sloppy." ”
Zhou Qin is a woman with two marriages, she thinks about the problem more comprehensively than Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu respects her decision, and she doesn't look at Ji Xueli at all, she said with a smile:
"Mom can do whatever she wants, if you don't test it now, it will be too late when you get married."
Zhou Qin handed the neatly folded clothes to Song Congchun and asked him to take them to his room, and then said to Zhong Yu:
"You are sober-minded, you can't find the wrong person, the conditions of our two families are there, and the request I made is just to protect your interests, you can rest assured."
Zhong Yucai didn't worry about this, she stretched, stood up and said, "Then I'll call Xueli and ask his parents not to come." ”
Zhou Qin turned sideways and admonished: "You pay attention to the way you speak, don't let his parents misunderstand, in case he reacts bigger, then follow his way." ”
Zhou Qin didn't want to make the other party's parents feel pimples because of a meeting, so Zhong Yu didn't know how her mother could think so, so she nodded perfunctorily and said:
"I know what I know."
On the other hand, Ji Xueli was not idle at home, he put the prepared gifts in different categories, and the old head Ji and his wife, as well as Ji Xueyi and Chen Lin, just watched him carry things one by one.
Since Chen Lin and Ji Xueyi talked openly and honestly, both of them have consciously adjusted the way they get along, each other is a person who wants to live a lifetime, and it is not a bad thing to take a step back.
Chen Lin counted the gift boxes on the ground, nearly twenty of them, and she quipped:
"The third child is going to empty his family to marry a daughter-in-law, he is much more sincere than your two brothers."
Ji Xueyi glanced at the things on the ground, and said seriously:
"Don't you have to follow me tomorrow to carry something? I think you have too many things, and it's not good to have a follower. ”
Ji Xueli didn't care about their ridicule, he said calmly:
"Mom, you can help me see if these greeting gifts are enough, I always feel that there is something missing."
The old lady didn't think there was anything wrong with her son making such a big fanfare, she squatted down and looked carefully, the gifts were ready from food and clothing to gold and jewelry, she smiled:
"It's enough to have so much, the most important thing for the meeting gift is to be sincere, your attitude is that Ah Yu's mother will not pick on it."
Old Chief Ji asked his wife, "What clothes should I wear when I see my in-laws tomorrow?" ”
The old lady said with a smile: "It's not you who show your face, you just wear that gray tunic suit, the military uniform is too serious, so it's most appropriate to wear that." ”
Chen Lin glanced at the old lady and suggested, "Then mom should wear a blue velvet cheongsam, which matches Dad's outfit." ”
The old lady's daily dress is mainly comfortable, and she is still very particular about going out, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are discussing what jewelry is suitable for matching, women always have endless topics to talk about in this regard, Ji Xueli asked his second brother to help, put the gifts in the trunk of the car, he was just about to go out with something, the phone rang at home, Ji Xueli put down the things in his hand to answer the phone.
Zhong Yu simply conveyed her mother's meaning on the other end of the phone, Ji Xueli didn't feel embarrassed when she heard it, she originally arranged for his parents to go with her, and it was okay to meet next time.
Ji Xueli hung up the phone and said to his mother: "Mother Ayu asked me to go over alone tomorrow, saying that the two parents will meet next time, so it will be more formal, and they will want to see me tomorrow." ”
The old lady smiled: "It's understandable, she hasn't met you yet, so you should be cautious." ”
Old Chief Ji doesn't care, anyway, where he points to play, it's not too late for him to play.
Ji Xueyi clasped his hands on his chest and said expressionlessly: "You will fight alone tomorrow, do you want me to teach you some tricks to deal with your mother-in-law?" ”
Ji Xueli glanced at Chen Lin and said with bad intentions: "Second sister-in-law, does your mother like the second brother very much?" ”
Chen Lin said with a smile: "Your second brother's cold face, my mother is under pressure when she sees it, and she eats with him, so she hasn't eaten freely, do you say you like it?" ”
Ji Xueyi's face became even colder, Ji Xueli was not stunned at all, stepped forward and patted his second brother on the shoulder and said, "Obviously, the second brother's tricks don't work, let's teach the second brother after I get married." ”
Ji Xueyi couldn't refute this Chiguoguo's ridicule, he glared at Chen Lin with some annoyance, and Chen Lin said helplessly:
"Don't blame me, I'm just telling the truth."
The next day he came to Zhong Yu's house with a carefully prepared gift, followed Sister Tao into the house, and when he stood in front of Zhou Qin, he barely maintained his composure and said politely:
"Hello Auntie! I'm Ji Xueli, I'm sorry to visit you until now, I have prepared some greeting gifts, I hope you will enjoy it. ”
He brought a few boxes in by himself, and Sister Tao kept taking them in, this battle was really not small, Song Congchun was speechless and said:
"Brother-in-law, you've emptied your home, right?"
Zhou Qin glanced at his son and said, "You talk a lot!" ”
Song Congchun didn't mind what his mother said, and helped with things with a smile, Zhong Yu rarely saw Ji Xueli so nervous, and said with a smile:
"Mom, I've been dating Xueli for a while, and we're rushing to get married, if there's anything you want to know, just ask."
Zhou Qin's attitude was mediocre, but after seeing the gift he prepared with his heart, she was a little more relaxed, and she got straight to the point:
"You are a few years older than Ah Yu, I originally didn't agree with the two of you being together, but Ah Yu himself is willing, and I don't want to beat the mandarin ducks, I have a general understanding of your situation, but there are a few things I have to talk to you about before getting married, so as not to have differences between you in the future."
Ji Xueli's back straightened, and he said with a straight face: "Auntie, although I just want to marry Ah Yu home, everything else is not as important as her." ”
Zhou Qin was not coaxed by his words, she looked directly at Ji Xueli and said seriously:
"Ah Yu is different from ordinary girls, she has a strong sense of professionalism, and she also has a high pursuit of her profession, even if she is married to you, most of her mind will still be used on work, can you accept it?"
Ji Xueli's originally tense nerves relaxed slightly, and he didn't hesitate to say: "I have always supported her work, and I won't stop her even after marriage." ”
Zhou Qin said with a serious face: "Support is not what she says, she is still young and wants to get the hospital on the right track before considering having a child, can you afford to wait?" ”
Ji Xueli is not a loyal supporter of the lineage, he bluntly said:
"When it comes to having a child, I am mainly based on Ah Yu's wishes, and it is up to her to decide whether to want it or not."
Zhou Qin's expression remained the same, and she continued to ask: "Then if you have a child in the future, can you take care of it?" If your parents blame Ah Yu for neglecting her family, will you protect her? ”
Ji Xueli didn't need to think about these at all, he said clearly:
"No one can accuse Ah Yu, no matter what happens, I will stand in front of her, as for the child's affairs, I will definitely take on the responsibility of a father, but maternal love is also indispensable, I hope the two of us can share this responsibility."
Zhou Qin listened to his words and did not say anything, she couldn't see whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied, she looked at Ji Xueli for a moment before saying:
"I hope you don't interfere in the affairs of Zhong Yu Hospital in the future, it is her personal property, and it has nothing to do with you and the Ji family, even if you get married, you can't get involved, can you agree?"
Zhong Yu didn't expect her mother to think about it so long-term, Ji Xueli didn't hesitate for a moment, he said with a straight face:
"We can do premarital property notarization, and all I care about is Ah Yu from beginning to end."
Zhong Yu didn't want the atmosphere to be too serious, so he said at the right time: "Mom, Xueli and I have reached a consensus on these aspects, you don't have to worry so much." ”
Zhou Qin said softly: "Don't blame Auntie for being troublesome, Ah Yu has not had a father since she was a child, I always owe her, I am afraid that she will be hurt, and I am afraid that you will bully her, I can't support her, so I have to say ugly things in front." ”
Ji Xueli's expression relaxed a lot, and he said mildly:
"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, I can understand my aunt's feelings, my parents like Ah Yu very much and support her work, and the problems you are worried about will not exist."
Zhou Qin smiled and nodded, she said everything she should have said, and it should be stopped, he is the future son-in-law, and the days of getting along in the future will be long.
Just as Song Congchun carried the last few gift boxes into the house, he raised his voice and said, "Mom, come and see the gift that your brother-in-law gave you, there is a big gold bracelet in it." ”
Zhou Qin was frightened when he saw the gold bracelet in Song Congchun's hand, and hurriedly said: "Why do you give such a valuable gift, I can't accept it, you hurry up and take it back." ”
Ji Xueli didn't care and said: "What is this thing, I don't know my aunt's preferences, thinking that gold can be used as jewelry at the same time, so I simply bought a gold bracelet, and now the price of gold is low, and it doesn't cost much." ”
Zhou Qin is the kind of person who is reluctant to spend money on herself even if she earns money, and she is afraid that she will be gossiped about when she wears gold and silver, so she has always dressed plainly, and will wear new products to display in order to attract customers in the store.
Zhong Yu couldn't see her mother refusing, so she put the bracelet on her wrist directly, and admired herself: "Gold is a little cheesy, but my mother can hold it down at this age, and it looks good when she wears it." ”
Zhou Qin gladly accepted it when she saw her daughter like this, and her daughter couldn't afford to buy a return gift of the same value, so why should she be petty.
She said happily: "Then sit down and rest for a while, and I'll go to the kitchen to give Sister Tao a hand, so that you can also taste my cooking skills." ”
Ji Xueli said with an expectant face: "I heard Ah Yu say that Auntie's cooking skills are good, and she often tells me that she misses your cooking, and I am blessed today." ”
When Zhou Qin entered the kitchen, Zhong Yu smiled and said:
"Dean Ji is very good at coaxing the elders to be happy, how did I find out."
Ji Xueli breathed an exaggerated sigh of relief, he touched the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and said helplessly:
"I also love the house and Wu, and I want to marry my wife into the door, but I don't have to work hard, don't laugh at me."
Song Congchun was eating bananas next to him, and said flatteringly: "Brother-in-law, this can be regarded as passing, congratulations!" ”
Ji Xueli pretended to be angry and said: "You are embarrassed to say it, I didn't know how to help say good things just now." ”
Song Congchun stuffed the banana into his mouth, threw the banana peel into the trash can, and said vaguely: "I am the most disadvantaged in our family, and I will be scolded if I don't get it, it's really not that I don't help you." ”
Zhong Yu glanced at the two "useless men" with disgust, and then brought the gift from Ji Xueli to her mother's room and put it away, so that her mother could experience the joy of opening gifts alone at night.
Zhou Qin entered the kitchen, Sister Tao was making sauce and fried eggplant, the smell of the oil was satisfying, Sister Tao had Aunt Jiang's guidance, and found Zhong Yu's appetite, and now her cooking skills have improved.
Zhou Qin thought that her future son-in-law was full of sincerity, how could she treat him, she looked at the ribs on the board, and said with a smile:
"I'll blanch the water first to make sweet and sour pork ribs, and let's cook faster together."
Sister Tao was naturally happy that someone was helping, she gave up a place and said with a smile: "You come here to do it, I'll cut the vegetables first." ”
Sister Tao is a few years younger than Zhou Qin, the two of them can also talk, they chatted and cooked, talking and laughing and laughing quickly made a big table, looking at this dish with color and fragrance, Ji Xueli praised without hesitation:
"This pork rib looks like it's made by my aunt, Sister Tao can't make such a delicious dish."
Sister Tao had worked part-time for Ji Xueli before and cooked for him, so the two were more familiar, and Sister Tao didn't mind and said:
"Even if I make dragon liver and phoenix marrow for you to eat today, you will dislike it, I feel like a mirror in my heart."
Everyone laughed kindly, Zhong Yu sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs to satisfy her cravings first, this is her mother's specialty, and it is the best at any time.
Ji Xueli saw that the atmosphere was good, and said:
"Auntie, my parents have always liked Ah Yu very much, and I want to meet you as soon as possible and set our wedding date, when do you think it is appropriate?"
Zhou Qin is not a person who likes to play music, she said lightly: "Then see you next weekend, I am not familiar with this environment yet, let's calm down and then discuss this matter with them." ”
Ji Xueli said with a happy face: "Then it's decided, my parents will come to the door to take a look first, and then let's go to the restaurant to eat and talk, I will book the restaurant in advance." ”
Zhou Qin wanted to say that she didn't need to toss and eat at home, but she was worried that her son-in-law would think she was a child, so she didn't object.
