Chapter 219: Meeting the Parents 3-Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
With Meng Qinghe's quick efforts, the two of them managed to leave the house before 9 o'clock and arrived home before lunch.
Wen Yan informed her family in advance yesterday and said she would bring her boyfriend home today.
Yu Qiu asked her aunt to prepare early this morning. In fact, it is very common for young people to break up and get back together, but her daughter is not a careless person.
In addition, Wen Yan had told her family in advance and had already been to the man's house and formally met his parents.
I don't know what these two kids are so anxious about.
As soon as she received the news yesterday, Grandma Wen and Yu Qiu started to greet the aunt at home and started to clean up the house. They also hired a gardener from the property management to tidy up the garden.
After getting off the highway, Wen Yan received a call from his father.
"We've already gotten off the highway. We'll be home in just over half an hour."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Yan looked at Meng Qinghe, who had become nervous since entering Xining city.
With a tense face, he became more nervous the closer he got to his destination, but Wen Yan finally managed to smile.
"My family isn't cannibalistic, don't be nervous. You've been waiting for this day for a long time. As long as you perform normally, my family will like you very much. My mom and grandma are just like me, they only care about appearance!"
Hearing her words, Meng Qinghe couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It seems that having such a face is still beneficial. It can help me find a wife and please the elders."
"Hahaha"
Wen Yan's family lives in the area where almost all the powerful people in Xining gather. Therefore, there are not many vehicles passing through here. During the day, the environment is quiet and there are not many people.
When a car arrives at the gate of the community, the security guard will conduct routine inquiries about any unfamiliar vehicles entering.
Wen Yan rolled down the car window. The security guard knew the owner inside, so he quickly let her in.
When the car arrived at the gate of the yard, Meng Qinghe wanted to get out directly to be more polite.
Wen Yan asked him to honk the horn first, and soon the door was opened.
Then the two of them got out of the car. The people in the yard had been waiting for a long time and immediately came to greet them.
"You're back. This is Qinghe, right? He's just as Yanyan described, a handsome man. Come in, good kids. The meal is ready and we're waiting for you to come back."
Grandma looked at the boy standing straight in front of her with a clear and upright gaze, and she liked him at once. This boy was so handsome.
The real person is much more beautiful than in the photo. Her granddaughter has the same good taste as she does.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, hello, I am Meng Qinghe. This is my first time visiting your home, so I'm sorry to show my respect."
Then hand over the gift prepared in advance.
Several people smiled and nodded, but they still said politely, "Why bring gifts when you come to our house? Come in quickly, lunch is ready and we are waiting for you."
"Wen Yi, help your brother carry the things."
Wen Yi touched his nose and walked forward to greet him, "Hello, brother. I'm Wen Yi."
Just now everyone was standing in the front, so he had no place to stand. He came to the front because he was called to help.
Meng Qinghe smiled and nodded. "Hello, I've often heard your sister mention you before."
Wen Yi pursed his lips, helped carry the things, and walked in.
Yu Qiu and Wen Mingxiu followed Meng Qinghe and talked as they walked. Wen Mingxiu was unhappy and his face did not look very good, but he did not show it.
The car will be driven in by the family driver, so there is no need to worry. Everyone moves to the living room.
Meng Qinghe had prepared himself mentally before coming. It was normal for his girlfriend's father to dislike him when he came to his girlfriend's house for the first time. The same was true for Wen Yi. If he had a daughter or sister like Wen Yan, he would not be in a good mood either.
After arriving home, I realized that it was something to be dealt with later. My daughter hadn’t eaten yet, so I decided to finish lunch first.
So the family moved to the dining room first. There was a long table in the dining room. Grandpa sat at the main seat and grandma sat on his left. Usually Wen Mingxiu sat at the lower right, followed by Yu Qiu. Wen Yan usually sat next to grandma, and Wen Yi sat next to his sister.
But today, it was Meng Qinghe who was pulled by grandma to sit next to her, and then Wen Yi sat down next to Yu Qiu.
My daughter's boyfriend came to visit for the first time, so as to show our respect for him, we had a fixed number of dishes prepared according to the number of people in the family. Today, we had 12 dishes prepared in total, including 4 cold dishes, 6 hot dishes and 2 soups.
During the meal, Grandma Wen and Yu Qiu were the main drivers, picking up food for Meng Qinghe from time to time.
"Come to my house, don't be polite. I asked Yanyan about your taste before. Do you like it?"
Meng Qing and Zi Ran both took it with their bowls. After tasting it, they didn't forget to respond, "It's delicious. Thank you, Auntie."
Before coming, Wen Yan told him that as long as Meng Qinghe smiled at her mother and grandmother, they would definitely like him very much.
As expected, Grandma Wen and Yu Qiu saw him eating with open arms, and they could tell the child's upbringing from the way he ate.
Wen Yi curled his lips when he saw that his grandmother and mother were almost filling up the bowl of his cheap brother-in-law at the dinner table.
He looked unhappy and ate his meal in a disjointed manner.
Then he saw a piece of braised pork suddenly appear in his bowl. He looked up and saw his sister smiling and saying to him, "You are not very active in eating. Today's braised pork is delicious. Eat it quickly. After you finish eating, I will check your learning results during this period."
Wen Yi then became happy and happily ate the piece of meat in the bowl. He was his sister's favorite person.
Although Meng Qinghe was talking to his elders, he did not forget to pay attention to his girlfriend. Watching the interaction between the siblings and seeing his expression, his brother-in-law's dissatisfaction with him was written all over his face.
After dinner, everyone moved to the living room and the aunt served tea.
The first thing to understand is definitely the family situation. Meng Qinghe began to introduce his family situation in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"..., I am the only son of my parents. They love Ayan very much, so there is no family dispute."
After hearing this, Grandpa Wen looked at the young man in front of him and nodded. His family conditions, education, and appearance were all excellent. Strictly speaking, in terms of family conditions, their family was considered to be marrying up, but he believed that with his granddaughter's conditions, these gaps could be made up. Their Wen Yan was not bad at all.
Besides, we are not getting married right away, we are just meeting each other for the first time.
Grandma Wen and Yu Qiu were also very satisfied. There was only one older brother from their uncle's family, and the family situation was not complicated.
The others also had the same idea, but it was too early to talk about marriage.
"You studied law. Are you planning to follow in your father's footsteps and become a lawyer?" Wen Mingxiu continued to ask.
Meng Qinghe nodded and said, "Yes, influenced by my family, I have been working towards this goal."
In the eyes of the elders, being a lawyer is a top-notch job, it is respectable and prestigious.
Several people nodded with satisfaction. Apart from anything else, this child is indeed a good candidate for son-in-law that is hard to find even with a lantern.
Although Wen Mingxiu was extremely unhappy, he had to acknowledge his excellence.
After understanding what needed to be understood, the topic became relaxed. Meng Qinghe had obviously mastered the rhythm of the conversation and was able to make the elders very happy while talking.
After seeing Meng Qinghe handle it easily, Wen Yan pulled his brother upstairs. He didn't know what was wrong with this kid today.
