At 3 p.m., Sun Zhengguo packed all the prepared gifts.
On his first visit, he didn't go out of his way to buy anything. Instead, he took out 5 jin of apples, 6 cans of meat, and two tubs of malted milk powder from his storage space.
Apart from the apples, the rest were all bought when there were no coupons. I don't have a father-in-law here, otherwise there would be quite a lot of cigarettes and alcohol in the space.
"Jung-guk, did you bring too much stuff? Leave some for your uncle and aunt."
Ning Xiaowei said somewhat shyly.
These gifts were not only plentiful, but more importantly, they were things that money couldn't buy. She was afraid that Sun Zhengguo would squander the money and be scolded by his parents when he came back.
“It’s okay, your man has plenty of money. Didn’t I just tell you? I haven’t spent any of my family’s money since junior high school.”
Seeing this, Ning Xiaowei stopped talking. After the afternoon break, the two chatted for a long time.
Sun Zhengguo told her that there were two other houses in the family, both registered in his name.
He even revealed that he had saved Lou Xiao'e and that Lou Xiao'e had feelings for him, for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings in the future.
Regarding this matter, Ning Xiaowei stated that she would not concern herself with past events, but would stay away from Lou Xiao'e in the future.
Let's go!
After the two left, Sun Zhengguo locked the door, hung the gift on the car handle, pushed the car and drove off, with Ning Xiaowei quickly following.
At the main gate of the courtyard house, the ever-present news center, was once again in an uproar.
Just now, Sun Zhengguo and his companion passed by and saw the cloth bag on the car, which was bulging. Although no one knew what it was, a fresh apple scent wafted out.
"Hey! Tell me, what was that fragrance just now?"
"Wang the widow in the backyard asked."
You can't blame her for asking that question; she's never even eaten an apple in her life!
This is no joke. Don't think that apples are easy to buy. In fact, most of the people sitting here have never eaten them before, so they don't know what they smell like.
At this moment, Xu Damao stepped forward triumphantly and boasted.
"Everyone, you don't know this, do you? That smell just now was from apples. I ate some in the countryside yesterday."
"So that's what apples taste like! I never knew. We can't even get enough to eat, let alone apples."
Chen Xiaosan's words from the backyard resonated with everyone, and they all nodded in agreement.
We're just ordinary people. Putting aside all unrealistic ideas, having enough to eat is our goal.
Yan Bugui sat silently to the side, pondering how to cultivate a good relationship with Sun Zhengguo in order to maximize his own interests.
Sun Zhengguo was unaware that the people inside the compound were negotiating the price.
Even if he knew, he couldn't care less now, because he had already arrived at the Ning family's door.
Although I was quite brave when I arrived, I still got nervous when I got to the door.
"What? You're a grown man, aren't you scared?"
Seeing that Sun Zhengguo was hesitant, Ning Xiaowei used reverse psychology.
"Who said I'm scared? I'm so happy just thinking about seeing your aunt soon!"
"Oh! Now you're calling her 'Auntie,' not 'Mother-in-law,' or 'Mom'?"
Sun Zhengguo rushed over and covered Ning Xiaowei's mouth.
"Can you keep your voice down? If your mom hears you, she might not approve of our relationship."
Seeing Sun Zhengguo back down, Ning Xiao smiled and nodded happily.
After letting go, Ning Xiaowei pushed open the door and entered, with Sun Zhengguo carrying some things and following behind.
"Mom, we have guests."
Hearing that her daughter had returned, Wang Guiying, who was inside the house, casually asked.
Who's here?
“Your son-in-law is here. Haven’t you been saying you wanted to see him every day? I’ve brought him back for you now.”
Sun Zhengguo never expected Ning Xiaowei to be so reckless even at home.
They're even calling him "son-in-law" now—this is going to be a complete upheaval!
With a bang, the door opened, and Wang Guiying came out of the room.
Sun Zhengguo glanced at Wang Guiying and said somewhat nervously.
"Hello, Auntie. My name is Sun Zhengguo. I am currently dating Xiaowei. I apologize for the intrusion in visiting today."
"Jung-guk, right? Please come in, please come in."
"You silly girl, Zheng Guo is coming, and you didn't even tell me so I could be prepared."
When Ning Xiaowei saw her mother scolding her, she stuck out her little tongue and made a face.
Sun Zhengguo smiled obsequiously and followed Wang Guiying into the house.
"Auntie, this is my first visit, and I didn't know what you liked, so I just prepared some simple things. I hope you won't find them offensive."
After saying that, Sun Zhengguo handed over the gift.
Wang Guiying didn't want to accept the child, but it was the child's first time visiting, and if she didn't accept the child, the child would feel uneasy.
So Wang Guiying accepted the gift, put it aside, and didn't even look at it.
"Jung-guk, I'll accept it this time. You don't need to bring it next time. Things are hard to buy these days."
Wang Guiying viewed Sun Zhengguo with the same pleasing eyes a mother-in-law would have for her son-in-law.
This kid is not only good-looking, but also speaks very well, and is a college student.
I don't know what he was thinking.
He actually took a liking to his own unreliable daughter.
Thank God!
If Ning Xiaowei knew that her mother had made such a comment about her, she would probably be so angry that she wouldn't be able to eat dinner that night.
"Why are you standing here, child? Sit down! Make yourself at home here."
"Xiao Wei, why don't you pour Zheng Guo a cup of tea?"
Sun Zhengguo, who had just sat down, looked at Ning Xiaowei with a helpless expression.
Wang Guiying didn't care about her daughter's expression and sat down to chat with Sun Zhengguo.
The two of them took turns asking and answering questions, and in no time they had reviewed Sun Zhengguo's situation again.
Wang Guiying was surprised to find that Sun Zhengguo's situation was even better than her daughter had described; he actually owned two houses.
Which parent doesn't want their children to have a good life? The more outstanding Sun Zhengguo is, the better his daughter's life will be in the future.
"Zhengguo, I'm quite satisfied with your situation and family. I wonder what your family thinks of Xiaowei?"
Sun Zhengguo was surprised to find that his mother-in-law was quite open-minded; he had gained her approval on their first meeting.
“Auntie, you can rest assured about this. I can make my own decisions. Besides, my parents are quite open-minded. Xiaowei is so outstanding, they have no reason to object.”
Wang Guiying believed this, because Lin Wencui also worked in the Women's Federation and was not someone who was stuck in the past.
"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that. We won't be able to buy any vegetables here tonight, so I'll go kill a chicken."
Sun Zhengguo wanted to say something more, but Wang Guiying didn't give him the chance and hurriedly walked out of the house.
Ning Xiaowei also went to help, and Sun Zhengguo couldn't sit alone in the house, so he had to run out to watch the excitement.
It's nice to have your own little yard. The Ning family not only had a chicken coop, but also planted some vegetables next to the house.
If guests come to our house, we can easily prepare a few dishes.
Before long, the aroma of meat filled the entire courtyard. If this were in a traditional courtyard house, everyone would have been overwhelmed by the smell.
"Come on, Zhengguo, eat more meat."
"Thank you, ma'am."
During dinner that evening, Wang Guiying kept putting food on Sun Zhengguo's plate.
He even changed his form of address now, simply because Wang Guiying said that the word "aunt" was too formal and not as nice as "madam".
"Mom, you're so biased! Now that your son-in-law is here, you don't even want your daughter anymore."
Ning Xiaowei said playfully.
"You silly girl, Zheng Guo is a guest, shouldn't we be polite? Here, let me put a piece for you, okay?"
After Wang Guiying finished speaking, she picked up a chicken foot and put it in her daughter's bowl.
When Sun Zhengguo saw this, he thought Wang Guiying was deliberately teasing her daughter.
To everyone's surprise, Ning Xiaowei was very happy, munching on chicken feet while making muffled noises.
"Mom is the best, she knows I like to gnaw on chicken feet."
Sun Zhengguo remembered that Ning Xiaowei liked to eat chicken feet. He would prepare some for her next time so she could eat her fill.
As time passed, the group finished their dinner in a pleasant manner. Seeing that it was getting late, Sun Zhengguo took his leave.
The mother and daughter couldn't stop them from staying, and saw them off all the way to the front door.
"Jung-guk, now that you know the place, come often in the future."
Before leaving, Wang Guiying gave her special instructions.
"Okay! I understand, Auntie, you can go back now!"
"Xiaowei, I'm leaving now. I'll let you know when I arrive."
After saying that, Sun Zhengguo got on his bicycle and rode off into the distance.
