Chapter 146: A visitor from home
After Wang Shan's problem was initially resolved, the family's life returned to normal with the start of school.
Lin Qiu was calculating how much of the family's loan was still outstanding, and was sitting on the carpet, calculating repeatedly on his computer.
At the same time, I also have to pay attention to listen to my daughter reciting.
Wang Shan stood in front of the coffee table, reciting the lesson in long tones facing above her mother's head.
Lin Qiu couldn't help but look up, "Shanshan, don't drag out the words when reciting. Did the announcer drag out the words when reading the news?"
Wang Shan looked at her mother without saying anything.
"It's all right as long as you recite it correctly. I think it sounds pretty good!" Wang Xiuren interrupted with a smile.
Lin Qiu was somewhat helpless. "I'm teaching her. Can you please stop interrupting her? How can it sound good to drawl like this? Once it becomes a habit, it will be hard to change it."
"Okay. I'll go into the room now!" Wang Xiuren winked at his daughter before turning and leaving.
Wang Shan could only recite it again honestly. This time she no longer dragged out the words, but read it quickly and clearly.
"Look, you memorized it so well this time!" Lin Qiu praised with satisfaction, "Okay, put the book away, go brush your teeth and go to bed!"
Wang Shan originally wanted to draw for a while before going to bed, but when she saw her mother's unquestionable look, she obediently put away the book and went to the bathroom.
As soon as Wang Shan left, Lin Qiu continued to work on the calculator with his head down.
After washing up, I opened the door of the small bedroom and found that my daughter had fallen asleep.
Lin Qiu closed the door gently and returned to his room, where he found Wang Xiuren leaning against the head of the bed in a daze.
Seeing that he was not reading the newspaper, Lin Qiu felt something was wrong and pushed his arm, "What's wrong?"
Wang Xiuren hesitated for a moment, "Xiu Li called me on my pager today and said that my parents would come to Pengcheng with him in a few days."
Lin Qiu was silent for a moment. "Come if you want. I'll treat you well when you come."
Wang Xiuren breathed a sigh of relief. "I've thought about it. We only have two rooms. If my parents feel uncomfortable living at home, why not rent a short-term rental house outside the community?"
When Lin Qiu heard this, he was very happy, but he still said, "Isn't this bad?"
Wang Xiuren waved his hands, "There's nothing wrong with that. I can't let Shanshan sleep on the sofa again, right? I can't bear to let her do that."
"Then my parents will definitely have some ideas."
They clearly had a house, but they still made them stay in a hotel. Lin Qiu could fully imagine the expressions of his parents-in-law.
"There's not enough room at home! We can't sleep on the floor, right?" Wang Xiuren didn't want to live with his parents at all.
As a result, two days later, when Wang Xiuren returned home, he saw a pager message from Wang Xiuli.
Wang Xiuren called back and was so angry that he cursed when he learned that he had already arrived at Pengcheng Railway Station with his parents.
What is going on?
They didn't notify me before I came, and only gave me a letter after I arrived. Wang Xiuren was speechless about this outrageous move.
Wang Xiuren held back his anger and explained the situation to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, then took Lin Qiu on a motorcycle and rushed to the train station.
It's really infuriating that they did this at the very beginning.
After the couple received the person, Lin Qiu didn't say anything, but Wang Xiuren started to complain first: "Dad, Mom, why are you here? You didn't even tell me before you came!"
As soon as he said this, Lin Qiu felt that it was not quite right, but he did not correct it.
Wang Zongsheng and Li Xiuying's faces turned dark.
"Don't biological parents have to send an invitation before visiting their son's home?" Li Xiuying couldn't help but sneer.
"You should at least tell me in advance!" Wang Xiuren hated such sudden things the most.
Wang Zongsheng looked at his son's face, pulled Li Xiuying's sleeve, and tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, this is my fault. I was going to call you in advance, but I forgot. Sigh, I'm old, and my memory is really not good!"
It’s actually not a big deal for relatives to come to visit, especially since they are Wang Xiuren’s biological parents. Lin Qiu never lacks the necessary attitude.
So she smiled and asked, "Dad, Mom, have you eaten?"
"I've been sitting on the train for a whole day and I'm so tired. How can I eat?" Li Xiuying complained.
In fact, it’s not that they can’t eat, it’s just that the old couple are reluctant to spend money! Not only was he reluctant to spend the money, but even Wang Xiuli was told off when he wanted to buy a box lunch.
"Okay, then I'll take you to eat something first!"
Seeing that Wang Xiuli was carrying two luggage bags and his father and mother were empty-handed, Wang Xiuren went straight out of the station, hailed a taxi, told the driver the address, and followed him with Lin Qiu.
In the taxi, Li Xiuying gritted her teeth and said, "Your second brother and second sister-in-law just don't want your father and I to come to Pengcheng!"
To be frank, Wang Xiuli knew that his second brother and second sister-in-law had no fault to offer in this matter of face, so he helped to speak up: "Mom, my second brother and his wife have never missed a single birthday, festival, or annual celebration for you and Dad!"
Not only was there nothing missing, but even though he didn't buy anything, he still gave a lot of money, at least more than I gave myself.
"Why are you saying this?" Wang Zongsheng patted Li Xiuying's arm.
Li Xiuying glanced at Wang Zongsheng's face and then calmed down.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Lin Qiu went straight to the front desk to order the food, then wandered around outside, leaving the space for their family.
She waited until the food was served before going in.
Li Xiuying said, "Why order so many dishes?" while putting meat into Wang Zongsheng and Wang Xiuli's bowls.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, you guys eat too!" Wang Xiuli felt a little embarrassed.
Wang Xiuren had just listened to Li Xiuying's complaints and was now so angry that he couldn't even eat dragon meat if it was placed in front of him.
He took a deep breath and said, "Your sister-in-law and I are not hungry yet. You guys eat first, and then I'll take you to the hotel!"
Spending money to stay in a hotel outside was definitely not in the plan of Wang Zongsheng and his wife. The couple turned their eyes to Lin Qiu.
Lin Qiu felt like a pot had fallen from the sky and covered her completely.
I swear to God, apart from calling them twice at the beginning and helping to order food, she didn't say another word. Even so, her parents-in-law still thought that it was her who instigated the decision to stay in the hotel.
From this we can see that in the eyes of the parents-in-law, all bad things are done by the daughter-in-law.
well!
However, the old couple's looks had no effect on her, and she calmly asked everyone to eat more.
"Third brother, are you planning to develop in Pengcheng?" Wang Xiuren asked Wang Xiuli who was eating with big mouthfuls of rice.
Wang Xiuli didn't expect his second brother to transfer the blame to him. He said, "I'm mainly here to send my parents here. I'll go back to Yangcheng tomorrow."
Although Pengcheng is good, he has his own network of connections in Yangcheng, so it is more convenient for him to stay in Yangcheng.
Lin Qiu always felt that Wang Xiuli was a smart man, both in his past life and now.
He has always had a neutral relationship with his parents and brothers. He gets along well with them on the surface. He doesn't offend anyone easily, nor does he take advantage of others. It’s much better than Lao Da and Lao Man, who only know how to take advantage.
So she said sincerely: "It's not easy to come here, let's play for two more days before going back."
"Forget it this time. The foreman is pushing me too hard, and Yangcheng is not far from Pengcheng. I'll come over and play when I'm free." Wang Xiuli declined.
"Okay, come and play when you're free!" Lin Qiu didn't force him.
After dinner, without caring what the old couple thought, Wang Xiuren took them to a short-term rental house outside the community, paid the deposit and rent, gave them a few instructions and left.
Wang Xiuli looked at the backs of his second brother and sister-in-law, then looked at his complaining parents and shook his head.
