I stayed at home at night. My aunt knew that Si Mingyu was coming back, so she cleaned up the house in advance.
The house is old but not shabby. In fact, the quality of the residential complex far exceeds that of most developers' homes these days. The three-bedroom, one-living room layout doesn't include the common area, so each room is quite spacious.
"This is my parents' room, this is my room, and this is the study." Si Mingyu led his girlfriend to introduce each room one by one.
Zhang Ningxi saw the wedding photo of Si Mingyu's parents hanging on the wall, and had to admit that Si Mingyu perfectly inherited his mother's appearance and his father's height.
The other wall is covered with honors his father had received, which Si Mingyu later framed and hung up himself.
When my father was alive, he went to get off work and came home every day like an ordinary researcher, and worked overtime when it was busy. None of our family members knew that he was engaged in very important research.
The only difference was that he never brought work home, which gave his father more time to play with Si Mingyu. Now it was clear that this was because confidential information could not be taken out of the unit.
Even today, Si Mingyu still doesn't know what project his father is researching. Even though he is a core employee of the company, he has to abide by confidentiality requirements.
"I didn't expect my uncle to have so many honors." Zhang Ningxi sighed as she looked at the awards on the wall.
"Come to think of it, my father and I are alumni of Jiaotong University."
"It turns out that my uncle also graduated from Jiaotong University."
"Well, this is also why I want to apply to Shanghai Jiao Tong University."
"Tell me about your uncle and aunt." Zhang Ningxi saw that Si Mingyu was in a low mood, so she wanted to talk about something to divert his thoughts.
"Um."
So Si Mingyu started talking about his childhood. They started sitting side by side, and soon Si Mingyu's hand was around Zhang Ningxi's waist. Then, as they talked, his hand became unruly. After all, who could resist such a beautiful girl in his arms?
Zhang Ningxi's beauty is all-encompassing, whether it's her face, figure, or skin, especially her incredibly thin waist. Normally, it's not noticeable when she wears loose clothing, but today, she wore a custom-made waist-hugging skirt and six-centimeter high heels, which perfectly showcased her slender waist and long legs.
Naturally, the two of them got closer and closer, and finally stuck together.
In the end, Si Mingyu carried Zhang Ningxi to the bathroom. Maybe it was because of her special physique, but it was extremely painful the first time. How could it not hurt if her nails were broken?
The two of them lay in bed and talked for a long time. This time, Zhang Ningxi talked about her childhood. As she spoke, her voice became lower and lower, and she fell asleep.
At this moment, Si Mingyu wasn't sleepy at all. In that moment of soul-to-soul harmony, he felt a breakthrough in his supernatural powers, advancing from the third-order Yaoguang Realm to the fourth-order Kaiyang Realm. Was this what was called "sudden enlightenment"? After all, the exact nature of supernatural powers remained unknown, and the nature of their advancement was unknown.
Of course, this was just his feeling. He would have to wait until he got back to test it to know the truth. Si Mingyu didn't know when he fell asleep while thinking about things.
.
In front of his parents' tombstone, Si Mingyu took Zhang Ningxi's hand and they both knelt down.
"Dad, Mom, this is my girlfriend, Zhang Ningxi. I brought her to see you today. She will be your daughter-in-law in the future."
"Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I will take good care of him in the future." Zhang Ningxi placed the flowers in her hand in front of the monument.
What has passed and cannot be retrieved is time.
Those who are gone and cannot be seen are the closest relatives.
If a son wants to support his parents but they are no longer around, he must never forget them.
Perhaps influenced by the atmosphere, after coming out, Zhang Ningxi hugged Si Mingyu and cried, saying she missed her family. So the two of them temporarily changed their schedule and flew to Jilin Province to meet Zhang Ningxi's parents.
Although they left in a hurry and did not prepare any gifts in advance, this did not bother Si Mingyu. He made a phone call to the exclusive customer service of China Merchants Bank, and by the time he got off the plane, in addition to various gifts, even the car and driver were ready.
Zhang Ningxi's parents got married early, so her mother looks like her sister, and her father is even more handsome and eye-catching. She inherited the advantages of both parents.
From their first meeting during the Chinese New Year video call to Zhang Ningxi's video chats with her family later, Si Mingyu appeared frequently to say hello, so it seemed very natural for them to meet in real life at this moment.
My father, Zhang Tianming, was originally a mechanical engineer in a state-owned enterprise. Later, he quit his job and started working in international trade, specializing in selling various small commodities to the north. Unexpectedly, his business grew bigger and bigger.
Her mother Shui Ningshuang was also a university teacher, and her grandfather was a university history professor. It can be said that Zhang Ningxi came from a scholarly family, but later Shui Ningshuang resigned and went into business with her husband Zhang Tianming.
So her love for traditional culture was also influenced by her family. Singing is just a hobby, and her real talents are calligraphy and painting.
The dinner that night was arranged for the relatives of Zhang Ningxi's father Zhang Tianming. Except for grandparents, all aunts and uncles were present. They inquired about Si Mingyu's affairs in detail.
Then the next night we had a dinner with my mother Shui Ningshuang's relatives. Except for my grandparents, it was still a luxurious lineup of relatives, and we asked almost all the questions from the previous day again.
Of course, during the two dinners, Boss Mingyu did not say much about himself. He cleverly used various language techniques to divert the topic, leaving people with the impression that his family was well-off and he was worthy of Zhang Ningxi.
This was also what Zhang Ningxi's parents meant. With so many relatives, there were naturally all kinds of people. On the surface, they seemed harmonious, but how could they not know what was going on behind the scenes? Over the years, Zhang Tianming had also helped his siblings who were not doing well in life, which at least maintained harmony in the family.
As the saying goes, a poor person in a busy city is ignored, but a rich person in a remote mountain area has distant relatives. If Si Mingyu's identity were to be spread out, and some ungrateful relatives really came to the door, how would they be treated? Wouldn't that cause trouble for their own daughter?
It would be better not to mention it in the first place.
As for the future? A married woman is like spilled water, she is someone else's daughter-in-law. Her position has changed, and the way she responds will also be different.
However, Si Mingyu did not miss any of the necessary etiquette and gifts. The elderly had things they liked, the middle-aged had things they were satisfied with, and the younger generations had things they were happy about. In short, everyone was happy after the gifts were given out, and the goal was achieved.
Zhang Ningxi's parents didn't give her their gift in public. It was two Patek Philippe watches, worth just under two million yuan. It wouldn't be a good idea to give a gift that was too expensive or too cheap for a first meeting with parents; something in this price range was more appropriate.
