"That's nothing. Didn't you accompany me back to my hometown? What would my parents-in-law like? I'll go get it now."
"Actually, you don't have to prepare anything special. I'll just prepare everything."
It was already troublesome enough for him to go home with me, so he should just handle the buying of gifts himself.
Qin Zun disagreed: "That won't do. No matter what, they are still your parents and elders. It would be better for me to prepare the gifts myself."
Since he had already decided to go back to Tonghua's parents' home with her, he naturally had to observe the proper etiquette and could not neglect her because of their current marriage relationship.
Tonghua suggested, "Why don't we go to the supermarket and see what we can buy later."
"good."
After they finished their meal, they went to a nearby supermarket to buy things to take home the next day.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Tonghua called Tong's father and said that they would go there tomorrow night and asked if it would be convenient for the family at that time.
Although Tong's father was a little surprised that they were not coming on the weekend, he still said that they could come anytime when the family was free.
Tonghua was a little worried: "Does Aunt Zhang know about this?"
She was worried that her father's decision to let her go home was her own and her stepmother was unaware of it.
What if the stepmother doesn't want them to go back, and they come to the house, things will get ugly.
It would be fine if she was alone, but this time she was going home with Qin Zun, so she naturally had to be careful.
Tong's father quickly replied that she had known it for a long time and there was no need to worry.
Tonghua felt a little confused, but didn't think much about it.
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The next night, Tonghua rushed home without even saying hello to her colleagues after work.
To her surprise, Qin Zun had also returned home.
Qin Zun asked her: "Shall we leave now?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes."
Tonghua is still wearing her work clothes. No matter how busy she is, she has to change her clothes when she goes back to her parents' home.
In less than a few minutes, she had changed her clothes.
Tonghua asked worriedly, "Is my outfit okay?"
Fairy Tale: "No problem, let's go."
Qin Zun packed all the things he bought yesterday into the trunk.
Qin Zun was driving and Tonghua was sitting in the passenger seat.
She turned her head several times, looked at Qin Zun, and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Qin Zun glanced at her and said, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
"No, no, I'm just a little nervous, that's all."
Qin Zun smiled faintly: "I should be the one who is nervous. This is my first time visiting my father-in-law's house."
"I don't know why I'm so nervous. I wasn't like this before."
Qin Zun comforted her: "Relax, you are going home, not somewhere else. If you get nervous, what if you make me nervous too?"
"I'm trying to control myself."
Tonghua was also confused. That was clearly the place where he had grown up, so why was he more nervous going back this time than when he went to Grandpa Qin's house?
After driving for more than an hour, they arrived at the gate of the community where Tong's father and his family lived.
At this time, neighbors who eat early come downstairs early to enjoy the cool air.
As soon as Tonghua and his friends entered the community, neighbors came up to greet them enthusiastically.
Aunt Zhang, the neighbor next door, came over with her grandson: "Tong girl, are you back with your boyfriend?"
While speaking, he kept looking Qin Zun up and down.
Tonghua didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she just went along with her and said that Qin Zun was her boyfriend.
Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "Tong girl, your boyfriend is quite handsome. I've lived for decades and have never seen such a handsome boy. Where does he work? Are there any single brothers or sisters at home? I can introduce them to you."
Aunt Zhang covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes almost fixed on Qin Zun.
Tonghua quickly said, "I'm not sure about that, Aunt Zhang. We have things to do right now. Let's talk when we have time."
Tonghua was afraid that Qin Zun would not be able to adapt to these things, so she laughed it off with Aunt Zhang and took Qin Zun away.
Along the short distance, neighbors kept greeting Tonghua and the others.
Why didn’t she think these neighbors were so welcoming before?
Tonghua took a look at Qin Zun's handsome face and immediately understood.
It must be because of this face.
It really attracts a lot of people.
Soon, the two arrived at the door.
Tonghua stood in front of the door. She glanced at Qin Zun behind her and comforted him: "Don't be nervous."
Qin Zun said calmly: "I'm not nervous."
Just don't be nervous.
Tonghua took a deep breath and rang the doorbell.
“Ding dong ding dong.”
As soon as the doorbell rang, someone came to open the door.
Obviously someone had been waiting for them to come.
When the door opened, it was Tong's father.
Tonghua called out, "Dad."
Tong's father nodded repeatedly, then turned his head to look behind Tonghua.
Seeing Tong's father's eyes fixed on Qin Zun, Tonghua introduced him to him: "Dad, this is Qin Zun."
"Qin Zun, this is my dad."
Qin Zun nodded slightly and said to Tong's father in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Hello, father-in-law."
Tong's father only said: "Okay, okay."
Then he just stood there, looking Qin Zun from top to bottom.
Tonghua turned around and looked at Qin Zun. Even though he was being stared at like that, there was no change on his face.
Tonghua couldn't help but praise himself secretly. He was worthy of being a manager. He was calm and composed. Tonight, people kept staring at him like a monkey, but he remained calm as if the sky was falling.
After more than ten seconds, Tong's father showed no intention of letting them in.
Tonghua felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she reminded Tong's father.
"Dad, we should go inside first before we talk. Stay outside the door or we'll have to block the neighbors from coming in and out."
Tong's father finally woke up from his dream and quickly invited the two of them in.
When they arrived in the living room, Tonghua took the gifts from Qin Zun's hands and placed them on the table.
"This is the Pu'er tea Qin Zun bought specially for you..."
At this point, Zhang Guiying, who was busy in the kitchen, heard someone talking in the living room and came out.
Tonghua pulled Qin Zun over and introduced her: "Qin Zun, this is Aunt Zhang."
Qin Zun said calmly, "Hello, Aunt Zhang."
Zhang Guiying looked at Qin Zun with a scrutinizing look.
His tone was full of amiability: "Now that they are all here, let's prepare to eat."
