As soon as the sun rose, Qi Xinlan finished dressing and walked out of the room when she saw Qi Guohui smoking on a stool, staring at the door. So she walked over and asked curiously, "Dad, what are you looking at?"
"Lan Zi, you're up so early today? I heard that you met Haozi? How did you feel?" Qi Guohui asked nervously when he saw Qi Xinlan.
"Dad~" Qi Xinlan said a little shyly, remembering that she went home with Xu Minghao yesterday and must have been seen by the gossips in the village. Now she was afraid that everyone in the village knew that she and Xu Minghao were together.
"Oh? Are you shy? I told you, trust dad's judgment, it won't be wrong! I have watched Na Hao grow up since he was a child. He is honest and filial, and he must be a good boy!" Qi Guohui said proudly, as if talking about his own son.
"Dad, you've never praised me since I was a child. Now you're praising a stranger. I feel a little upset." Qi Xinwei just walked out of the room and heard his father praising the kid from the Xu family again. He said a little jealously.
"I didn't praise you because you don't have any advantages to praise for me." Seeing Qi Xinwei, he exhaled a puff of smoke and said leisurely.
"Dad, it's not right for you to say that. I inherited my genes from you. If I didn't have any advantages, then Dad..." Before Qi Xinwei could finish his words, he felt a headache and cried out in pain.
"You little brat, without me, could you be so handsome?" Qi Guohui said angrily.
When Qi Xinlan saw this funny yet heartwarming scene, a string deep in her heart was touched. In her previous life, she pursued wealth and power, but in return she got disappointment and alienation from her parents. In this life, she must stick with them and make them proud of her!
"Okay, can't you two just take a break? When the guests come, it will be really rude to see you like this." Suddenly a voice sounded, bringing Qi Xinlan back to her senses. She turned around and saw Zhao Lan rushing out of the kitchen with dishes, and said to Qi Guohui and Qi Xinwei.
"Mom, are the people from the Xu family coming today?" Qi Xinlan remembered Xu Minghao's words and asked a little nervously.
"Yes! Yesterday, Aunt Xu came to tell me that her son had returned and said that she would come to the house today to ask you two to leave." Zhao Lan recalled.
"Oh, Mom, these dishes are probably not enough, right? Let me help you." Qi Xinlan saw that there were only two dishes on the table, which was probably not enough, so she changed the subject.
"No, no, I've already prepared it. I just haven't brought it out in the kitchen yet. Besides, today is such an important day. How are you going to face people later if you get your clothes dirty? Girls should be neat and tidy, that's what boys like@#￥..." Zhao Lan nagging.
"Mom, I get it. I won't help." Qi Xinlan interrupted. If she continued like this, her ears would get calluses. It was all Xu Minghao's fault. It felt like whenever Xu Minghao came, her father would praise him and her mother would nag her.
Xu Minghao didn't know that he had been inexplicably caught in the crossfire.
Suddenly, there was some noise at the door. Aunt Xu walked in first, followed by Xu Minghao. He was still wearing the same military uniform today, but his hair was cut short. He looked more energetic, with deep and bright eyes. He had been staring at her since he entered the door, making her very uncomfortable.
When Zhao Lan saw Aunt Xu and Xu Minghao coming, she immediately greeted them with a smile and said, "Aunt Xu, you're here early. Oh, this must be Haozi, right? He's tall and strong, and he looks so reliable. Not bad! Not bad!"
"No, no! He is just a dull person. He is afraid that your daughter will not like her. Your daughter is pretty and good at studying. If this marriage goes through, I will get a great deal." Aunt Xu was very happy when she heard the other party praising her son.
"No, your child is still the best!" Zhao Lan said politely again.
Then the two of them started to exchange pleasantries, which made her feel scared!
"Mom, why don't you let me come in and sit down?" Qi Xinlan interrupted them.
"Yes, yes, I was so happy when you came, Aunt Xu, I forgot everything. Damn it!" As he said this, he pulled Aunt Xu in affectionately.
However, Xu Minghao, who was following behind Aunt Xu, slowed down his pace and walked directly beside Qi Xinlan, walking together with Qi Xinlan.
Qi Xinlan lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Xu Minghao.
When the two of them came in together, Qi Xinlan was subjected to ambiguous gazes from everyone, which made her blush again.
During the meal, the adults were chatting at home. Sometimes when they talked about her and Xu Minghao, she was so embarrassed that she almost buried her head in her bowl. Suddenly, a piece of pork caught her eye. She looked up and saw Xu Minghao holding a piece of meat and saying to her, "Eat more. I see you haven't eaten much vegetables."
"Thank you!" Qi Xinlan said in a low voice.
"Haozi looks so considerate. He will definitely be a man who loves his wife in the future. My Lanzi is so lucky." Qi Guohui praised.
"Dad, I love Taozi too. He picks up a piece of meat, which means he loves his wife. I give Taozi sour buckwheat bread every day, why don't you praise me?" Qi Xinwei just couldn't stand Qi Guowei praising Xu Minghao. There was nothing he could do. He grew up under Xu Minghao's shadow. Qi Guowei kept praising Xu Minghao since he was a child. How great is he? He was tired of hearing it. He had long been dissatisfied in his heart, but he really hoped that this marriage could be successful.
Firstly, Xu Minghao is indeed a reliable person. Secondly, Xu Minghao will respectfully call me brother-in-law in the future. Thinking of this, I feel inexplicably sour in my heart!
"Oh, you little brat, I said that my sour taro was missing a little every day, it turns out you took it." Zhao Lan didn't have any hobbies. Her only hobby was eating sour taro, so the most common thing in Qi Xinlan's house was sour taro. When she heard that Qi Xinwei actually gave his treasure away, how could she not be angry?
"Mom, don't be so stingy. It's just a small gift." Qi Xinwei said with a smile.
"Just a little? The whole bottle is gone! You little bastard." Zhao Lan glared at Qi Xinwei.
"Don't be angry, I'm doing this for you. Taozi said she would bring me two bottles of medicinal wine next time. I told her that your feet would hurt when it rained, and she said her relatives had medicinal wine, and that one or two bottles would be enough to rub your feet." Qi Xinwei explained with a smile.
"Okay, okay, it's just some sour pork belly, and you look so nervous. If it's gone, just make it again. Don't embarrass yourself in front of the guests." Qi Guowei glanced at Zhao Lan and said.
"Yes, Zhao Lan, it's rare for your son to teach you filial piety and still remember that you have a sore foot." Aunt Xu also tried to smooth things over.
"Mom, Dad, Aunt Xu, I'm full. Take your time." After Qi Xinlan put down her bowl and chopsticks and greeted them, she turned and walked out.
When Xu Minghao saw Qi Xinlan leaving, he hurriedly put down his bowl and chopsticks, said hello to the elders, and went to chase Qi Xinlan.
When everyone saw them leaving one after another, they looked at each other and smiled. The children have grown up and have their own thoughts!
