Chapter 226 Preparing to Meet the Parents

But after taking a shower, I felt really comfortable, clean and dry, and my hair smelled of soap.

After coming out of the bathhouse, Gu Erjie, her second brother-in-law and Hong Jun did not return to the courtyard, but went to the supermarket run by Mingyue and Tang Zexu.

The incident with Gu's third sister happened so suddenly that Mingyue and her husband didn't even know that Gu's second sister and brother-in-law were coming.

"Mom and Dad, why are you here?" Mingyue jumped up from her chair in surprise.

Tang Zexu also hurried to greet them, "Mom and Dad, are you here today?"

"Grandma and grandpa." Ruirui and Jiaojiao also came over.

The second brother-in-law picked up the two children, one in each hand, and said, "You two are so heavy, grandma can hardly hold you anymore."

My second brother-in-law put the two children down in a few seconds.

"Your aunt has a broken hand..." Second Sister Gu explained the purpose of her visit.

Mingyue, "I think so. Is it okay? Is it serious?"

Second Sister Gu shook her head. "It's not serious, but it's a serious injury. How can I rest for a hundred days? I can't take care of the baby during the confinement period."

Tang Zexu cut a large watermelon and said, "Dad, please stay for a few more days. We will take you around to see the world and then you can go back with Mom."

"The house is about to turn yellow. No one can look after it." Sister Gu took a small piece.

I ate some watermelon at a bakery at noon, and I'm still feeling full.

Mingyue glanced at her brother, asking him with her eyes whether he had told his parents about his relationship. Hongjun told her directly,

"Sister and brother-in-law, I'm going to treat you to dinner tonight. Let's go to Lao Mo's Restaurant. Yingzi can come with us."

As soon as these words came out, Mingyue knew that her brother had already told his parents about his girlfriend.

Then she can say it.

Whether before or after marriage, the sister-in-law and mother-in-law talk a lot about the brother's wife and daughter-in-law.

But some are good and some are bad.

Mingyue is good to her second sister.

Mingyue: "She's a nice girl, with a high school education, pretty, and tall, about the same height as the Red Army."

Xu Ying is 168cm tall and Hong Jun is 175cm tall, but the boy doesn't look taller, especially since Xu Ying usually wears high-heeled leather shoes, which makes her look taller.

Second sister Gu told her daughter about the gift she wanted to give for the meeting. She didn't know who the Red Army was before she came, otherwise she would have brought some local specialties from her hometown, such as milk skin and milk tofu.

They only realized this after arriving in Beijing, so apart from money, they really had no preparation.

"Okay, just give me the money."

No gift in this world is as practical as money.

After chatting for a while at Mingyue's place, we agreed to go to Lao Mo Restaurant at 6pm, and then the three of them went to Zhang Chen Baozi Shop in Xiaomei.

There weren't many people in the bun shop in the afternoon. After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Sister Gu asked the two of them with some concern, "Is the business of the shop still going well?"

The third daughter and her three sons-in-law are not as good as the eldest daughter and her son-in-law. The eldest son-in-law has no savings, and his shop business seems to be very good. Just when they were chatting, customers kept coming in.

But why does the bun shop owned by the third daughter and her third son-in-law seem to be deserted?

In response to Second Sister Gu's concern, Hongjun spoke for both of them, "Oh, mom, please let Third Sister and her husband have some rest."

"They run a steamed bun shop. In the morning, they are so busy that they don't even touch the ground. They are so busy that they don't even have time to rest until 10 o'clock."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom. Our store is a breakfast store. It's usually busy in the morning and relatively quiet in the afternoon. We can still make money."

Xiaomei said, "Yes, our store is busy in the morning, while my uncle's shop is busier at noon."

After hearing this, Second Sister Gu was relieved and said, "Okay, as long as we can make money, it's fine. I'm just afraid that we won't make money."

They are all family, so Zhang Chen and Xiaomei have nothing to hide. "Zhang Chen's household registration has been transferred here, and we plan to buy another shop next year."

The couple is now debt-free. They have paid back the fifteen hundred yuan they owed her sister, and Zhang Chen's household registration has also been transferred here. From now on, they will concentrate on saving money.

There is no rush for a house. She will graduate this winter and will get one when she starts working next year.

Gu Erjie, "If you buy another shop, what kind of business will you do?"

Xiaomei, "I haven't decided yet, but my aunt said that it's better to buy things like this from the store as soon as possible."

"After I buy it, I'll see what kind of business it is."

Sister Gu didn't understand this either. "Okay, go ahead and buy it."

After chatting for a while, Hongjun said that he wanted to treat the couple to dinner in the evening.

"Okay, six o'clock in the evening, right?"

.........

After coming out of the steamed bun shop, the three returned to the courtyard. Hongjun turned on the TV for Gu's second sister and brother-in-law, while he went to look for Xu Ying.

Xu Ying was also resting in the afternoon. She became extremely nervous when she thought about meeting her girlfriend's parents in the evening.

"It's okay, my parents are very easy to talk to. Look, my uncle likes you so much, my parents must like you too." Hongjun comforted.

Xu Ying: “Yeah.”

She was not afraid that the Red Army parents would dislike her. With her conditions, she might not have much advantage over the locals, but she still had an advantage over people from other places.

It’s time to meet your partner’s parents. It’s the first time you meet them. I don’t feel nervous, and I don’t know what their temperaments are like.

I heard from Hongjun that Aunt Su got along very well with his mother when she was in her hometown. Xu Ying thought that if Aunt Su could get along well with someone, then she must have a good personality.
