Xu Qingzhi: ...

Her father rarely calls her by her full name, so he must be really angry.

She responded, "I know, Dad, I'll be right back."

Five minutes later.

In the Xu family yard.

Xu Fuqiang stood under the persimmon tree, his eyes as big as copper bells, looking at Huo Fengyan.

He was 1.9 meters tall, fair-skinned and handsome, with a face as handsome as the stars on TV. Although he was wearing grey casual clothes and couldn't see any muscles, it was obvious that he didn't look strong. He was probably not as good at hoeing the land as his daughter.

Huo Fengyan suppressed his aura of keeping strangers away and called out politely, "Uncle, aunt, hello, my name is Huo Fengyan."

In the world of cultivating immortals, people would always tremble when they saw him appear.

At this moment, he was a little nervous because it was his first time meeting her parents.

He thought to himself that he had to be more polite and behave better to leave a good impression on her parents. This was what his grandmother taught him when he was a child.

Jiang Xiao and Wen Shanshan were sitting in a row under the persimmon tree. Even Wen Siran, who was busy working on his computer, closed it.

Xu Fuqiang snorted, but he didn't mean to look down on others. He was unhappy that "the daughter I have cherished since childhood is targeted by this man? Damn it!" He looked at his daughter and asked in a hard tone: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Xu Qingzhi made up a story: "Dad, he is Si Ran's friend in Kyoto. He helped the lawyer before. It just so happened that he really liked the drama I acted in before, and when he saw me, he was so excited that he rushed over and hugged me."

Jiang Xiao pulled the corner of his mouth. Would anyone really believe such a ridiculous reason? Wen Shanshan, who was standing next to him, jumped up like an excited monkey, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "Really? Really? I didn't expect Brother Yan to have such good vision. He is a fan of Qingzhi like me. Before, my brother always complained that I was a crazy fan of chasing stars."

Then, she looked at her brother, snorted, and said proudly, "See, Brother Yan is also a fan of our Qingzhi."

Wen Siran's career has been steadily improving since he regained feeling in his legs. He has become calmer and less venomous towards his sister. So at this moment, he just frowned and ordered her, "Sit down!"

Blocking his front row seat for watching the movie... no, it's his seat for watching the show.

Wen Siran didn't see it with his own eyes, but heard it from Jiang Xiao. As soon as Brother Yan saw Qingzhi, he rushed over and hugged her. He was so fast that only his afterimage could be seen. He hugged her very tightly and called Qingzhi's nickname.

If Jiang Xiao and he were not childhood friends of Huo Fengyan, and knew very well that Huo Fengyan had never had a girlfriend due to health reasons, and did not even know Xu Qingzhi, they would almost suspect whether the two had had an affair in the past.

So, well... Wensran had no mind to focus on his work at this moment. He was also curious about what was going on!

After hearing Xu Qingzhi's nonsense, Xu Fuqiang looked at Huo Fengyan fiercely and asked, "Really?"

"Yeah." Huo Fengyan nodded, looking as if what she said was the truth.

Xu Fuqiang frowned, looking unconvinced, picked up the hoe in his hand, and said even more fiercely: "Then you are taking advantage of my daughter!"

Huo Fengyan: "Sorry, it's my fault."

Admit mistakes very quickly!

Xu Fuqiang was about to explode with anger, but he was stuck in between. Finally, he thought silently in his heart that this kid seemed to be a well-mannered and good-tempered person, and he was quite pleasing to the eye.

He had no other requirements for his daughter's partner, just that the partner had to have a good temper, be able to love his daughter, and be in good health. The partner had to be better at hoeing the fields than his daughter. Those with weak constitutions were not allowed, otherwise they would find it too hard to hoe the fields alone in the future.

Xu Fuqiang was not a stubborn person. Although he was still unhappy, he thought that Qingzhi was a girl who had never liked to share these things with him since she was a child. She only told her mother what happened at school.

After some mental struggle, Xu Fuqiang put the hoe in his hand to the ground.

Seeing this, Wang Yanmei immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Huo, you just came from Kyoto. You must have had a hard time on the way. Please sit here for a while. I'll go in and stir-fry some vegetables. We'll be eating soon."

"Sorry for the trouble, Auntie." Huo Fengyan said gently.

Xu Qingzhi took a step and was about to lie down leisurely in her old position under the persimmon tree when her mother grabbed her arm.

"Qingzhi, come and help mom pick some vegetables."

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Xu Qingzhi skillfully picked up a bunch of water spinach and prepared to pick it.

She doesn't like to eat water spinach cut into pieces, because she thinks it's hard to pick up and not satisfying to eat. She prefers to eat it with a leaf and a stem, because she thinks it tastes better this way, so she has to pick the water spinach every time she eats it.

While cooking, Wang Yanmei pretended to ask casually, "How old is Xiao Huo this year?"

Xu Qingzhi: ???

She said truthfully: "More than 500 years old, quite old."

Wang Yanmei was cooking and pretended to hit her with her free hand, "Don't fool your mother. I think Xiao Huo is not much older than you. If you think it's suitable, you can go to Kyoto in the future. Don't worry about your family. Your parents can handle this farm."

Xu Qingzhi wanted to laugh, but he looked helpless: "Mom, why do you want to send me away just because someone comes here?"

"Whatever? Just grab someone like Xiao Huo on the street and see if you can catch him."

After Wang Yanmei finished speaking, she saw that her daughter remained silent for a long time, and she felt itchy: "Don't think that you can fool me with the things you said to your father. I gave birth to you and raised you. How can your mother not know what you are thinking? Are you having a conflict with Xiao Huo? If it is not a mistake of principle, I think Xiao Huo is a good person. Don't be so petty. Get married if you are suitable for each other..."

"Mom." Xu Qingzhi interrupted her, "Do you really want me to get married so much?"

Wang Yanmei said: "Of course, mothers all hope that their daughters can be happy."

"But marriage doesn't mean happiness." Xu Qingzhi finished picking the water spinach in her hand and stood up to wash the vegetables. "Mom, happiness depends on your own efforts, not on marriage. You can't rely on others."

Wang Yanmei served the stir-fried beans and eggplant and said, "Your father and I have been married for so many years and have always been very happy. If I hadn't married your father, where would you and your brother come from? Anyway, I think Xiao Huo is a good person. I don't know what your father thinks."

Xu Qingzhi is not the kind of person who would throw a tantrum and say things like "I'll just find someone to marry" when he can't make sense with his parents.

"Mom, I don't like old people." She chuckled and lowered her voice seriously: "He is too old, more than 500 years old, no, forget it."

Wang Yanmei really hit her this time, slapping her on the fleshy part of her arm, and said angrily: "You woman, do you think your mother is a fool?"

Xu Qingzhi cried out in pain and acted coquettishly to her mother: "Mom, you hit me so hard."

Wang Yanmei reached out her hand to rub the place where she had just been hit, still speaking fiercely: "Who told you to lie to me? Every time I talk to you about serious matters, you act so frivolous, just like your father, it's so annoying."

Xu Qingzhi: "Didn't you just say that you were very happy with Dad? Why are you saying that Dad is irritating now?"

Wang Yanmei held up a stainless steel spatula: …

"Are you trying to turn the family upside down?"

"No, I don't dare." Xu Qingzhi smiled and said, "Mom, my dear mom, hurry up and cook. I'm hungry."
