"This isn't my first time visiting Yiping's house, and I want to leave a good impression on her family. Xu Yu, can you help me see if I need anything else? I went out early this morning to buy some things, like wine, perfume, and silk scarves. I also bought a tea set and tea leaves. They're not expensive, but I'm afraid her family won't like them. Can you help me see if there's anything else I need?"
Xu Yu took a closer look and thought, what a good opportunity, it’s not expensive at all.
Xu Yu fell into silence. Chu Zhaozhao was awakened by Li Haonan's voice and turned over to see what they were talking about.
"Xu Yu, why did Li Haonan call you? It's so early now. I'm sleeping even if he's not asleep."
Chu Zhaozhao rubbed her eyes, and then she saw that Li Haonan was dressed respectably, even his hair was neatly combed.
"Hey, Mr. Li, what are you doing today? Why are you dressed like this?"
"Zhao Zhao, you're awake now. It's a good opportunity for you to help me take a look at my clothes and the gifts I prepared. I'm going to meet Yiping's parents today, so I want to prepare well."
Chu Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you planning to take all those gifts to Yiping's house?"
"Yes, I went out to buy it early this morning. Yiping is still sleeping, so please be quiet."
"No, you woke me and Xu Yu up, but Yiping is still sleeping now. What a happy woman."
Chu Zhaozhao sighed, and then found that the gifts prepared by Li Haonan were very expensive.
"Isn't this gift of yours too expensive?"
Chu Zhaozhao asked subconsciously.
Xu Yu also nodded, but Li Haonan didn't think so.
"Don't you have to buy expensive things when you go to a girl's house? I can't afford to buy these cheap things, and these things are not bad at all..."
Li Haonan became less and less confident as he spoke, mainly because he suddenly realized that he didn't know Jiang Yiping's family and her relatives very well.
"Yiping's family is very ordinary. She has a younger brother, and their house is just an ordinary rural house. How will Yiping's family feel about you? They would rather have a son-in-law who is not distant, rather than a son-in-law like you who carries a lot of things like he is going to disaster relief."
"You guys have a point. I'll change it right away."
Li Haonan nodded and put away some unnecessary gifts.
"You can just wear some everyday clothes. Yiping's family is actually very easy to get along with. When you get there, be a little considerate and chat with her parents more. They won't have any ill will towards you."
Chu Zhaozhao told Li Haonan about the time when she had a video call with Jiang Yiping's parents, and Li Haonan became thoughtful.
"Luckily I talked to you this morning, otherwise I would have made a big mistake if I hadn't gone today."
"It's all I can do to help you. I'm going to go back to sleep. Don't bother me anymore."
Chu Zhaozhao turned over and leaned back on her bed.
"Zhao Zhao, I'll treat you to a meal when I come back. I'll definitely remember it."
Li Haonan quickly hung up the phone and changed into new clothes, just a simple sweatshirt and sweatpants.
In order to look clean, Li Haonan did not wear any accessories.
Li Haonan was still in the bathroom admiring his outfit in the mirror when Jiang Yeping started knocking on the door, making a loud noise.
"Li Haonan, what are you doing in there? It's been so long. Can you please come out?"
"I'll be out soon, don't worry..."
Li Haonan put away the suit he had just taken, put it in his arms and went out holding the suit.
"I'm dying of holding it in. You've been occupying the toilet for so long so early in the morning. If you do that again next time, I'll beat you."
Jiang Yeping pushed Li Haonan, and Li Haonan ran into the room to put away his clothes.
"Yiping, what time are we leaving?"
"Let's go after breakfast. There's no rush. We'll probably be home by noon, and we can still have lunch. My parents should have made a big goose stew in an iron pot at home."
Li Haonan became nervous when he heard this.
"Then I have to do something when I go there. Do I have to say something?"
Jiang Yiping put her hands on her hips and asked, "Why are you so nervous? My parents are not bad people. They won't do anything to you. Can you be more open and honest? You are really not open at all."
"It's not a question of being open or not, I just..."
"Okay, stop talking. I'm going to put on makeup. You'd better not bother me."
Jiang Yeping always feels annoyed by Li Haonan whenever she comes into contact with him recently, but if she doesn't come into contact with him, Jiang Yeping still feels that she misses Li Haonan a little bit.
Fortunately, Li Haonan has a good temper and has never been angry with Jiang Yiping.
"Then Yiping, I'll make you some breakfast. Take your time putting on your makeup. Don't be in a hurry. Let's make it look prettier..."
With a "bang", Jiang Yeping locked the door. Li Haonan was turned away and stood at the door rubbing his hands, looking a little embarrassed.
…
"Why did Jiang Yiping and Li Haonan suddenly go home to see their parents? Isn't that too sudden?"
Chu Zhaozhao lay down, but found that he couldn't sleep.
Xu Yu was about to take a nap, but then he woke up again and rubbed against Chu Zhaozhao.
"I don't know, I thought you knew."
"Look at Li Haonan, he's really nervous."
Chu Zhaozhao smiled, as if thinking of that funny scene.
"What are you laughing at?"
Xu Yu opened his eyes and looked at Chu Zhaozhao's face.
Chu Zhaozhao thought for a moment and said, "Li Haonan used to be fearless. What's wrong with him now? He's even afraid."
“It’s human nature.”
There are many people like this around Xu Yu. They are very nervous when they meet a girl’s parents for the first time, for fear of making mistakes, but later they fall in love with meeting their mother-in-law and father-in-law.
"It's okay, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing, because I..."
Chu Zhaozhao swallowed what she wanted to say, and Xu Yu probably guessed what Chu Zhaozhao wanted to say.
"You don't need anyone to back you up. I won't let you get wronged. If I do, you must tell me. Sometimes I may be stupid, but I will change."
Xu Yu's voice was very low, and Chu Zhaozhao nodded unconsciously.
"Actually, I don't have any particular thoughts. I just envy Yiping. She has a stable career now, and her family is so good. Looking at her love life, she seems to be living a very happy life. But of course, Yiping deserves it."
Chu Zhaozhao was happy for Jiang Yiping from the bottom of her heart, and then Xu Yu took Chu Zhaozhao into his arms.
"Can you still sleep?"
Xu Yu asked Chu Zhaozhao.
Chu Zhaozhao shook her head, and Xu Yu sat up from the bed.
"In that case, I'll take you to a place tonight when you finish your work. You'll like it."
Xu Yu chuckled, then pulled Chu Zhaozhao up from the bed.
