Chapter 228 Parents of Both Parties Meet
The group came out of the department store and went to the vegetable market, where they bought two fish and ten pounds of pork, which they cut into two portions.
Eight pairs of gifts.
After meeting Gu Jianhua, the group went to Xu's house.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu also started preparing early in the morning.
One cannot be stingy in such matters, so the couple prepared eight dishes and bought some watermelon.
There were melon seeds, candies, plums and other food on the table.
Both parents attach great importance to it.
The Red Army felt good, and Xu Ying also felt good.
Around ten o'clock, Sister Gu and her group arrived at Xu's house.
Machinery factory compound.
The Red Army had been here but had never gone upstairs. However, when they heard Xu Ying say that her home was on the third floor, they were about to go upstairs when they saw Xu Ying coming down.
"I saw you coming from the window."
When Xu Ying saw that her second sister and her family were carrying so many things, she began to favor her in-laws even more.
Hongjun asked quietly, "How am I today? Am I okay?"
Oh my God, he is so nervous about meeting his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Xu Ying: "Okay, that's fine."
When they reached the third floor, Xu Ying knocked on the door on the left, and Xu's mother came over to open the door.
"Hey, here I come."
"Hello, uncle and aunt."
"Okay, okay, please come in, please come in."
........
Second Sister Gu thought that it was thanks to Xiaohe and the others that they came, otherwise the couple would be so tongue-tied.
Xu's father and mother made tea for the guests. As a way of entertaining guests, making tea is necessary no matter how hot the weather is.
After a brief greeting, Xu's father stayed to chat with a few people, while Xu's mother went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Whether the man's parents are good or not is secondary. The main thing is to see what the son-in-law is like. Although the girl had told them about her boyfriend before, Xu's father and mother were busy with work and had never been to the clothing store to take a look.
Now when I visited him, I found that the young man was quite good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was quite tall and a very upright guy.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu have a good impression of their future son-in-law.
Moreover, the young man seemed to be very polite and well-mannered. When he came in, he lit a cigarette for Xu's father, and then went to the kitchen to help Xu's mother serve dishes and get bowls. He was very diligent.
It seems that their future son-in-law has a good appearance and personality. In fact, as long as a boy has a good personality and is motivated, even if his conditions are a little poor now, they will definitely get better in the future.
Because it was prepared in advance, the food was ready and served quickly.
Xu's father and mother prepared a sumptuous meal and did not treat their second sister and brother-in-law lightly just because they were from the country.
There were several main dishes, such as roast chicken, braised pork, deep-fried hairtail fish, and prawns, but they were boiled.
Xu Ying whispered to Hongjun, "My parents spent a lot of money today. We have never bought shrimps in our family before."
This is true. She has eaten prawns before in restaurants, but this is the first time she has eaten them at home.
Hongjun was very happy that he and his parents were valued by his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. He joked, "You are taking advantage of me."
"Of course not. My brother and I can't usually have it."
..........
With Su He and Gu Jianhua present, and both parties satisfied with each other, the meal went smoothly. Xu's mother smiled and said to Su He, "Teacher Su, you are worthy of being a teacher. You are really elegant."
Su He didn't understand. Many people said that she was elegant and scholarly, but why didn't she feel that?
Su He smiled back, "Sister Xu, you are the same, smart and capable, you look like a capable person."
The two of them praised each other for a while.
In short, both Xu's father and mother and Gu's second sister and brother-in-law were very satisfied with the meal. Xu's father and mother felt that although Hongjun's parents were from the countryside, they were not bad in terms of the way they spoke and behaved.
What's more, he has trained two college students.
Gu's second sister and her husband felt that Xu's father and mother were not as arrogant as other city people who looked down on them.
Go ahead.
The second brother-in-law took Xu's father's hand and said, "Brother, when I return to Mongolia, I will send you some mutton from our place. Our mutton doesn't taste smelly at all and is really delicious."
Sister Gu said, "It's winter now, so please send it. It will be damaged on the way now."
"When you go back, send some milk skin and milk tofu first. These are dry and won't go bad."
"Oh, yes, I can't send it in the summer, so I'll send milk tofu and milk skin."
My second brother-in-law is a little drunk.
Father and Mother Xu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, we haven't eaten milk tofu and milk skin yet, so it's a good opportunity to try it."
After seeing off Su He and his companions, Xu's father and mother returned to the house.
Mr. Xu was also a little drunk, but it was okay and did not affect the communication.
Mother Xu was sorting out the gifts that Second Sister Gu and her friends had brought. She said,
"Old Xu, what do you think?"
Father Xu hummed and replied, "I think it's good. Bringing so many gifts for the first time shows that you care about our two children and value our daughter."
Xu's mother said, "How can I not take it seriously? I gave him a hundred yuan as a gift last night."
Father Xu, "That's exactly why. If it were someone else, they might think that they gave a red envelope of 100 yuan yesterday, and come here today and just bring two random things."
"Look, they brought eight items, including cigarettes, alcohol, tea, etc."
The cigarettes and alcohol they bought were not cheap at all, and it was obvious that they put a lot of thought into their products.
Value their home.
Even if Hongjun's parents come over today and bring two random things, they won't say anything, after all, they gave your daughter a hundred yuan as a meeting gift yesterday.
But today, they came according to the highest standards, with eight items in total.
What's more, they are from Mongolia, and their customs may be different from those in Beijing.
Mother Xu, "You are right. The in-laws your daughter has found are pretty good at the moment."
"It depends on how the marriage goes."
Father Xu, "There's no rush to get married. It won't be too late to get married after the Red Army transfers their household registration here and buys a shop."
"Um."
Xu's mother thought so too. Although she had a good impression of the Red Army and his parents, marriage was a big deal.
There was no way she would hand her daughter over to a man who had nothing.
You can buy a house later, but you have to have a job to make a living!
