Jiaojiao took Ling Yunrui to meet her parents and her brother-in-law, and basically all the family members had met them.
He was only a few months late in dating Youyou, which was still a long way behind.
He wanted to bring up this matter, but after thinking about it, he felt that this would force Youyou. Then he thought again that Youyou was only a sophomore and there were still two years. There was no rush and he could take it slowly.
Cultivating feelings is key.
After watching a movie and going shopping in the department store, Zhao Donglai bought Lu Youyou a rubber band and a dress. Then he sent Lu Youyou back to school and turned around to go to the second courtyard.
Because they wanted to eat cold noodles in the evening, Ling Yunrui started making cold noodles in the afternoon.
When Zhao Dong came, the cold noodles had already been prepared and could be eaten directly as a cold dish.
"Brother..."
Tudan hadn't come back yet, and she thought Tudan had come back.
"Jiaojiao, what should I prepare for a home visit?"
Zhao Jiaojiao was startled for a moment before she reacted. She asked her eldest brother to come in quickly and said to Ling Yunrui, "Go and get a bowl of cold noodles so that my eldest brother can taste your noodle-making skills."
He pulled Zhao Donglai into the house.
"Whether you're visiting an elder, if it's grandparents, you have to be more cautious and pay attention to details."
Zhao Donglai saw that what she said had some clues, so he said, "It's Youyou's grandma and grandpa."
Grandma and grandpa?
"If I remember correctly, Youyou's uncles are all here, right?"
Zhao Donglai did not ask about his girlfriend's family situation. He liked Youyou as a person, and it had nothing to do with her family background.
"If you're going to Youyou's grandparents' house, buy some cakes and tea. Don't mention cigarettes or alcohol; those are things you should bring when meeting your father-in-law."
"Do you know what cakes and tea to buy?"
Zhao Donglai really didn't know and had never studied these things. He didn't have enough to eat when he was a child, and now he has no time.
Zhao Jiaojiao took a deep breath. "The most famous pastry in Kyoto, the one you have to queue up to buy, is the Jing Ba Jian (Eight Pieces of Beijing). There are many kinds of tea that people drink when they get older, but the one that is both festive and suitable for gift giving is Da Hong Pao."
This was the first time Zhao Donglai realized that there were so many twists and turns here.
If he hadn't come to Jiaojiao to ask today, he might have really bought some cigarettes and alcohol.
"If you want to buy that cake, you must go early."
Ling Yunrui came in with a bowl of cold noodles, "Brother..."
It is really difficult for Zhao Donglai to buy the best quality Dahongpao.
That pastry can be bought if you go early and have food coupons.
“Tea is hard to buy.”
tea?
Ling Yunrui glanced at his partner, then looked at his brother-in-law, "Brother, if you want to buy any tea, I can get it for you."
"There are many kinds of tea: Dahongpao, black tea, Biluochun, West Lake Longjing, Pu'er tea, Tieguanyin, but I don't know what kind of tea you want, big brother?"
So many kinds of tea?
"Dahongpao, for gifts, for celebrations." Zhao Jiaojiao glanced at Ling Yunrui and knew how to please her brother.
"Why don't you just prepare something for my brother? He needs to go see the elders, and then he can just come and get it."
Her elder brother was going to meet the elders, so she asked him to prepare something directly. This was a token of her thoughtfulness. Since ancient times, the country has been a country of etiquette.
Ling Yunrui didn't dare to respond, Jiaojiao was angry again.
"You help me prepare the tea, and I'll go buy some cakes myself."
"Tell big brother where the store that sells Beijing Eight Pieces is located, so he can come early and queue up to buy them."
Ling Yunrui wanted to say, "Brother, please drive over and queue up. Is there anything left for sale?"
Otherwise, he should go and queue up early.
There is only about a week left before summer vacation.
