Zhao Qinglan is a clean person and cleans her home every day.
Anyone who comes in will find their house clean and tidy.
But once Zhao Qinglan learned that her son would be bringing his girlfriend home soon, she found fault with everything he did.
Whenever she has free time, she sweeps here and wipes there at home.
When Li Huai and Sanwa were at home, they would help her.
Even when Li Huai wasn't home, he would sometimes send Xiao Chu over.
Looking at the glass that had been wiped countless times and could now be used as a mirror, Sanwa sighed quite often in private.
He really didn't want to move anymore. Before, he loved to stay at home after school and read books and watch TV, but now, he just wished that there would be a few more classes at school.
These days, bringing your partner home usually means you're headed towards marriage.
Therefore, Ji Rou also called home to communicate.
Both of Ji's parents worked in the military. Ji's father was the logistics director of a division under a certain military region, and Ji's mother was a leader of the cultural troupe of the same military region.
Because she also came from a military family, Ji Rou was determined to go to military school and become a soldier.
Only her mother knew anything about her dating life.
Because Ji Rou secretly took a photo of Da Wa and Yi Gan Ren home, Ji's mother even knew what Da Wa looked like.
The eldest son is good-looking and I heard he's also very outstanding. He also comes from a military family, so Ji's mother thinks they're a perfect match and is quite satisfied with him.
However, when Ji's father first heard that his daughter was dating someone and would be visiting his boyfriend's house during summer vacation to meet his parents, he felt uncomfortable and even wanted to cause trouble for his eldest son.
Fortunately, Ji's mother was able to persuade the person to stop.
However, Ji's mother also had some concerns. This was just a dating relationship, and her daughter was the woman. If she took the initiative to visit someone's home first, would it make the other party look down on her?
She would try to persuade her husband to stay calm, but she felt that her eldest child was a good one. However, that didn't mean she would let her daughter suffer. Therefore, she also directly told her daughter what she meant.
Ji Rou was deeply in love with Da Wa and didn't think about all that. She just said that Da Wa's parents had always wanted to meet her, so this was a kind of invitation. She certainly didn't have the ulterior motives they were thinking of.
When Ji's mother asked what her boyfriend's father did in the army, Ji Rou realized that she had never known anything about her boyfriend's family situation.
So far, all she knows is that Da Wa's father is a military officer, his mother is a businesswoman, and he has a younger sister and two younger brothers.
It wasn't that Da Wa deliberately hid it; it's just that Ji Rou had never asked in detail before. The two of them rarely had the chance to spend time together, and they always wanted to say more intimate things, so they didn't have the mind to think about so many things.
Now that Ji Rou has asked, Da Wa has confessed honestly.
Ji Rou figured that Da Wa's father was not young, so his position in the army must not be low, otherwise he would have been demobilized long ago. But Ji Rou did not expect that the position was much higher than she expected.
"A deputy political commissar of a military region at the deputy corps level?"
Because she comes from a military family, she is quite familiar with these ranks in the military.
"Mm." The older child nodded.
"How old is your uncle this year?"
"My dad, let me calculate, he's forty-two this year."
Ji Rou gasped. Only forty-two? She was in the prime of her life.
Seeing her like this, the eldest child became a little nervous, wondering if he would be "disliked" because of his father.
"Ji Rou, my dad is my dad, and I am me. You don't need to worry about him," he said nervously.
"I...no, let me have some time to think, about your aunt's business?"
The eldest child started to struggle with whether to say his mother was amazing or to express it more subtly; he was unsure of both.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell the truth.
“My mom owns a company, and there are some food shops and supermarkets located under the company.”
It sounded impressive. Having already been surprised once, Ji Rou pretended to be calm this time and said, "You must have quite a few employees, right?"
"I don't know much about the scale of my mom's business now, but it should have several hundred people."
Ji Rou gasped again.
What is the family background of my boyfriend?
Her father had just been promoted to the rank of division commander, and her mother was now at the rank of regimental commander. She still thought her family was doing quite well.
She didn't mention or ask about her boyfriend's family background before because she was afraid that if his family wasn't as well-off as hers, he might feel inferior and not want to date her, which would be bad.
Little did she know that she was overthinking things. She had an older brother who was several years older than her, and her father was also several years older than Uncle Li.
Seeing his girlfriend's surprised look, Da Wa touched his nose and asked nervously, "You, you don't dislike me, do you?"
People in love may experience a decrease in IQ, not just women, but men are also very likely to do so.
Ji Rou was amused. "Are you kidding me? I'd rather you'd dislike me than me."
The eldest child relaxed. "Parents are parents, and we are us."
“Yes, we are us.” Ji Rou smiled. “By the way, I need to tell my family about your situation, my mom asked.”
The older child didn't object, after all, he was going to run off with someone's daughter, so it was normal for them to know about his family situation.
When the Ji couple learned about the situation of their eldest daughter's family, they were shocked and began to worry that the other party might not like their daughter.
Ji Rou comforted her parents, saying that she would know whether the person was good or not once she went to meet him. Instead of guessing, she should experience it for herself.
Anyway, she and Da Wa are just dating now. If they're really not compatible, it's better to break up sooner rather than later.
Although these words were mainly meant to comfort her parents, she was indeed not love-struck and was capable of both love and hate. If she and Li Yansen really encountered opposition from Li's parents, and Li Yansen's handling of the situation did not satisfy her, she would give up no matter how reluctant she was.
Her parents raised her like a precious jewel, not so that she would suffer injustice in someone else's home.
The Ji couple finally agreed to let their daughter visit the Li family, and repeatedly reminded her to bring gifts and to be polite.
Xiaoduo's summer vacation started a few days earlier than her brother's. She was originally planning to wait for her brother to start his vacation so they could go home together. But when she learned that her brother was going to bring his future sister-in-law along, she became even more excited.
Zhao Qinglan had prepared a car for her daughter's safety. Since the two siblings needed to take the train home, a private car would naturally take them.
Da Wa and Ji Rou waited at the school gate with their luggage.
Before long, a car pulled up in front of them, and Xiaoduo rolled down the window. "Brother, get in."
Ji Rou only heard Da Wa say that there was a car to ride in, but she didn't know where the car came from.
Once she got in the car, she saw the girl sitting in the passenger seat greet her warmly.
"Hello, Sister Ji Rou, I am Li Xiaoduo."
Ji Rou reached out and shook hands with her.
Yu Huanxi was driving. He dropped Xiaoduo and the others off at the train station and then returned, not traveling with them.
Xiao Duo is very talkative and has a friendly attitude towards Ji Rou.
After chatting for a while, Ji Rou had a very good impression of Xiao Duo and also began to look forward to the rest of the Li family.
To be able to raise someone as outstanding as Yan Sen, Uncle and Aunt Li must be very good people.
