786: Why is this relative talking so nonsense?
Because there was no stove at home and I couldn’t boil water or cook, I had to buy ready-made breakfast outside.
After breakfast and washing the pots and dishes, Yu Jiahui took some documents and planned to report to the neighborhood committee to ask for a note so that he could buy a gas tank, a gas stove, and some honeycomb coal.
Without a certificate from the neighborhood committee, you can’t even buy gas or honeycomb coal. This shows how important household registration is these days.
If you don’t have a city hukou and no one to turn to, it’s simply impossible to survive in the city.
As he was about to go out with the documents, he saw an old lady in plain clothes walking towards him. Just as he was wondering how such a cultured old lady could live in this slum, he saw behind the old lady, her daughter supporting an old man in an old military uniform walking in.
Yu Jiahui's head buzzed.
Oh shit!
This can't be my in-laws?!
Why are they here?!
Yu Jiahui wanted to turn around and run back to inform Xu Ying and the second brother, but it was too late. His mother-in-law had already looked up and saw him, but she did not recognize him.
Then, Yu Xiaoye walked out of the aisle and saw his father standing there dumbfounded, staring at them.
Yu Xiaoye shouted:
"dad!"
Zhuang Huaijian, who was walking in front, thought that Yu Xiaoye was calling Zhou Jingru, but when he saw the burly middle-aged man standing in front of him, he suddenly realized that Yu Xiaoye was calling his biological father.
The strong man in front of her who looks like a Liangshan hero is her relative!
Zhuang Huaijian immediately smiled and shouted:
"relatives by marriage!"
"——" Yu Jiahui was stunned for a moment before he put on a smile, "Oh, these are Xiao Zhou's parents, right? Hello, hello, I finally meet them!"
Yu Jiahui took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with his in-laws.
Zhuang Huaijian freed up one hand, shook hands with Yu Jiahui, and said with a smile:
"Hello, in-laws."
"Hello! I should have been the one to visit you, but I didn't expect you to come here first. I'm so sorry!"
"Don't say that. It's our Hengzi who's ignorant. He didn't bring you home yesterday. I've already criticized him!"
"Don't blame him, we came here on our own."
While the two were talking, Zhou Jingru also came over.
Yu Jiahui let go of Zhuang Huaijian and went to shake hands with Zhou Jingru:
"Hello, hello, you must be Xiao Zhou's father, right? I'm sorry to have asked you to come over first."
Zhou Jingru stretched out his hand and looked at the imposing and powerful aura of his in-laws. He never expected that his daughter-in-law looked so petite. It was a bit surprising that her father would be of this physique.
"Hello."
"Stop standing outside and come sit inside!"
At this time, Xu Ying, who was in the house, had already seen Yu Jiahui greeting someone outside. Judging from the way he looked, she guessed that it was her daughter's parents-in-law who had arrived. She immediately whispered to the second son and his wife:
"Second brother, Cuihua, hurry up, your sister's parents-in-law are here!"
As she spoke, Xu Ying quickly glanced at the glass on the door, smoothed her hair, adjusted her clothes, and walked out of the house with a smile on her face. Just as she reached the door, Yu Jiahui and the old couple from the Zhou family arrived.
When they met face to face, Yu Jiahui introduced:
"My dear relatives, this is Xiao Ye's mother—old woman, these are Xiao Zhou's parents, our relatives!"
Xu Ying and Zhuang Huaijian immediately shook hands:
"In-laws! Hello, hello!"
The two mothers-in-law were like old sisters who had been separated for many years. They were already in sync with each other before they even started talking.
Zhuang Huaijian held Xu Ying's hand and apologized sincerely:
"Xiao Ye and our Hengzi have been married for almost a year. Since we live far away, I haven't seen you all this time. Please don't be offended."
"No, no, what are you talking about? Didn't we meet today?" After saying that, Xu Ying called out to the second brother and his wife standing nearby:
"Second brother, Cuihua, come here and call uncle and aunt."
The second brother and his wife held Fatty and called out respectfully:
"Uncle, Auntie!"
Xu Yingdao:
"My dear relatives, this is our second son, and this is our granddaughter Fatty."
Zhuang Huaijian said with a smile:
"Not bad, not bad."
The three members of this family all look very good. They are tall, strong, round and plump. Even the child in their arms is chubby and cute. It can be seen that the water and soil of the Great Northern Wilderness are very nourishing.
Zhuang Huaijian handed the fish and wine to Xu Ying:
"You're moving into a new home today, so I'll warm up the fish for you."
"Thank you so much, you're so kind!"
Xu Ying did not refuse and accepted the gift generously. He turned around and handed the fish, meat and wine to Yu Erye.
Zhuang Huaijian took out another red envelope from his handbag:
"Here, give the children a red envelope,"
"How can this be so embarrassing, my dear, you don't have to spend so much money!"
"A little gift for the child. Come, take it."
The two pushed and shoved each other, and finally Xu Ying had no choice but to accept the red envelope.
After receiving the red envelope, he habitually invited the guests into the house:
"Come on, come sit inside!"
After saying this, I remembered that there were no tables, chairs or benches at home.
At this time, Jia Song came in very timely, carrying an octagonal table in one hand and two benches in the armpit on the other side.
When Jia Song came in and saw the entire Yu family, he greeted them in the same casual manner as before:
"Old Yu, it's so nice to see your family in the capital!"
Yu Jiahui was about to make a few jokes with Jia Song, but when he remembered that his in-laws were still there, he had to hold back and said seriously:
"Xiao Jia, thank you for your hard work."
Jia Song nodded and smiled, then winked at Yu Jiahui:
Old Yu, you are really good at pretending!
Yu Xiaoye walked over and helped set up tables, chairs and benches in the house so that everyone had a place to sit.
Four old men sat on the four sides of the octagonal table.
Cuihua handed Pangya to Yu Erye and started to help pour tea for the guests.
The water in the thermos is still from last night. It's not very hot anymore, but that's all it has now.
After pouring tea, the two families started chatting.
Zhuang Huaijian looked around and saw that the room was empty. He said:
"In-laws, if there's anything missing here, just tell us."
Xu Ying smiled and said:
"Thank you for your concern, but Xiao Zhou is here. That child is very thoughtful and has thought of everything for us. In-laws, you have raised a very outstanding son. I have to thank you."
Zhou Jingru disagreed:
"Don't praise him. I know my child best. He is a careless person and a stubborn donkey!"
After hearing this, Yu Jiahui knew that Zhou Jingru was being modest, but he still felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but say:
"My dear relatives, you can't say that. Xiao Zhou is such a good kid. He's honest, steady, smart, and handsome. There's nothing wrong with him. I wouldn't dare say anything about him in other places, but in the Great Northern Wilderness, I haven't seen anyone better than my son-in-law."
After hearing this, Zhou Jingru knew that Yu Jiahui was complimenting him, but he still felt that the compliment was simply too much. If the in-laws hadn't mentioned him by name, Zhou Jingru would have thought that they were praising another son-in-law of their family:
"You're exaggerating. You shouldn't praise people like that."
"I'm not praising him, I'm telling the truth. Xiao Zhou is an outstanding kid!"
Zhou Jingru: “——” Why is this relative talking so nonsense?
