Chapter 136: Bai Shanshan's Visit (Page 1/2)

Huo Qingyan's face was full of pity. He looked at Lin Jing softly and said soothingly, "Don't worry. If you still can't get married and start a family next year, I will definitely do my best to help you find a wife."

Lin Jing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and teased: "Hey, aren't you also a lonely person? You actually have the leisure to act as a matchmaker for me."

Huo Qingyan smiled confidently and responded confidently, "It won't be long before I find someone to marry."

Lin Jing was immediately interested when he heard this, and asked curiously, "Oh? It sounds like there's something going on. Tell me, among the three women you danced with last night, which one did you like the most?"

Huo Qingyan thought thoughtfully for a moment, then slowly said, "Well... among the three girls who danced with me tonight, Bai Shanshan spoke the softest, danced really well, and had a very flexible waist."

Before she could finish her words, Lin Jing interrupted her impatiently, "So, you're attracted to Bai Weiwei? No way?"

Huo Qingyan waved his hand and quickly explained, "Actually, I don't know Bai Weiwei very well, I just think she gives people a good impression.

So I plan to try dating her for a while first, and if we get along well and our personalities are compatible, I’ll consider bringing her home to meet my parents.”

Lin Jing smiled and patted Huo Qingyan on the shoulder, wishing him well: "Then I wish you good luck in advance!"

Xiao Ya and Huo Junshan were both busy and had no time to care about Huo Qingyan, so naturally they didn't know that he had started dating.

It is the dead of winter, with ice and snow everywhere, and the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year, is just around the corner.

Xiao Ya was thinking that she could take a day off from work tomorrow, so she could go shopping and buy some new clothes and shoes for her precious grandson as a first birthday gift.

After dinner, she started talking about this with her husband Huo Junshan:

"Junshan, let's go to the department store tomorrow and pick out some nice clothes and shoes for Ningning. We can also buy all the things we need for the New Year."

"Okay, then let's go together tomorrow." Huo Junshan agreed readily.

As they were talking, their son Huo Qingyan suddenly interrupted: "Dad, Mom, I want to bring my partner home to meet you tomorrow."

Xiao Ya was stunned when she heard this and screamed, "What? When did you start dating? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

Huo Junshan was also confused and stared at Huo Qingyan. Then a relieved smile appeared on his face. He gently patted his son's shoulder and said:

"Hey! Good boy, you finally got it! What kind of job does that girl you're looking for do?"

"She is a dancer in the art troupe, her name is Bai Shanshan, and she just turned 22 after this Chinese New Year.

Her parents both work at the cotton mill. Her older brother just got married this year, and she has a younger brother and a younger sister." Huo Qingyan answered in detail.

Xiao Ya looked at Huo Qingyan and asked, "Is this the girl you spotted at the social gathering last time? Bai Shanshan? Don't rush to bring her back. I'll go find out what's going on first and then bring her back."

"Why? Didn't you say before that you wanted me to get married before the New Year?"

"I hope you get married soon, but we should first find out about the woman's situation, right?"

"Big brother just found a lesbian for a quick marriage, and you all had no objections, but why do I have to find out about the girl's family situation first?"

“Your brother never interacts with lesbians, and since he finally falls in love with a girl, we naturally support him.

Besides, your brother has good taste, and your sister-in-law is beautiful, well-behaved and sensible. Apart from her family being a bit of a hindrance, there's nothing wrong with her."

"You mean I have bad eyesight?"

"I didn't say you had bad taste. If you were looking for other lesbians, that would be fine, but if you were looking for a lesbian from the art troupe, then I would definitely want to find out more about the situation."

Huo Qingyan was so angry at Xiao Ya that she laughed, "Mom, you are prejudiced. What's wrong with the female comrades in the art troupe?"

Huo Junshan patted Xiao Ya's hand and said, "Why don't we meet the girl first, and then find someone to inquire about her family situation if we find her suitable."

Xiao Ya said, "Okay, bring it over tomorrow at noon, and your dad and I will go to the city in the afternoon."

The next day at noon, Xiao Ya prepared five or six delicious dishes, waiting for Huo Qingyan to bring his partner back.

At half past twelve, Huo Qingyan took Bai Shanshan into the house, carrying two bags of snacks and putting them on the table.

"Dad, Mom, this is my girlfriend Bai Shanshan."

Bai Shanshan smiled and greeted Xiao Ya and Huo Junshan, "Hello, uncle and aunt, my name is Bai Shanshan."

"Hello, please sit down!"

After inviting Bai Shanshan to take a seat, Xiao Ya poured her a cup of hot tea and brought two fruit plates, one of apples and the other of candy and biscuits.

"Come and eat some preserved fruit first."

Huo Qingyan said, "Mom, let's eat first! We can talk while we eat."

Xiao Ya smiled awkwardly, "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to serve the dishes, you guys sit down first."

Bai Shanshan tugged at Huo Qingyan, "I'm not that hungry yet, why are you urging me?"

"It's cold, so you should eat your food while it's hot. The same goes for chatting later."

Huo Qingyan took a piece of dried mango and handed it to Bai Shanshan's mouth. Bai Shanshan glanced at Huo Junshan, and seeing that he didn't look at her, she smiled and took a bite.

Huo Junshan couldn't bear to see the two sticky people, so he got up and went to the kitchen to help his wife serve the dishes.

After all the food was served, Bai Shanshan followed Huo Qingyan to take a seat. There were six dishes on the table: braised pork, braised chicken, kelp and pork bone soup, pan-fried swordfish, stir-fried clams and leek cores, and stir-fried pork slices with carrots.

She thought that the Huo family was indeed rich. They had six dishes for four people, and they had so much fish and meat, which was such a luxury. Her parents were both workers and only bought meat two or three times a month.

Huo Qingyan said that his parents' combined monthly salary was four or five hundred yuan. With that kind of money, they could even eat dragon meat, not to mention meat.

Huo Qingyan is now a formal pilot and his salary is not low. If she marries Huo Qingyan, she should be able to help her family.

"Comrade Xiaobai, I'm sorry for not welcoming you properly. Please start eating!"

"Okay, auntie, you guys eat too."

Huo Qingyan picked up a piece of swordfish for Bai Shanshan and said, "Try this swordfish and see if it's delicious. My eldest brother sent it from the island."

Bai Shanshan rarely eats sea fish. After taking a bite, she thought it was quite good. "This fish has no bones and is delicious."

Xiao Ya smiled and said, "If it tastes good, eat more."

Watching their son putting food into Bai Shanshan's bowl from time to time, Xiao Ya and Huo Junshan talked about everything while the four of them ate in silence.

After dinner, Bai Shanshan offered to help Xiao Ya clean up. Xiao Ya said, "Please sit down. I'll wash the dishes."

Huo Junshan said, "Comrade Xiaobai, please sit down first. Let's sit down and chat."

Huo Qingyan pulled Bai Shanshan to sit down and said, "Dad, I want to go to Shanshan's house to propose marriage tomorrow."

Huo Junshan said, "We'll talk about this after your mother is done with her work. Comrade Xiaobai, do your parents know that you're dating my son?"

"They already knew that."

Huo Junshan glared at Huo Qingyan. This damn brat had been dating for so long, and only told them when he was about to get married.
