Song Zhe glanced at the supply and marketing cooperative and felt that since it was his first time visiting Su Tian's parents to buy a gift, he should buy something better. He thought the things at the supply and marketing cooperative were too ordinary.
"Su Tian, where is the Friendship Store here? I'd like to buy something there."
"No need, let's buy it here. It's all about the sentiment. Let's pick it out together."
Song Zhe picked out two bottles of wine and was about to buy cigarettes when Su Tian stopped him because her father didn't smoke.
Su Tian helped pick out several kinds of pastries and also bought two kinds of candies, all of which were her grandparents' and parents' favorites.
Seeing that there weren't enough, Song Zhe picked out four more cans of malted milk powder and four bottles of cod liver oil.
"Okay, that's enough. Give me the money and the tickets."
Su Tian quickly stopped Song Zhe, but Song Zhe, after looking at it, thought it was acceptable.
He asked the sales clerk to help him pack it up, paid the money and gave the receipt, and then left the supply and marketing cooperative with the goods in his hands.
When they rode their bikes back to their apartment building, Su Tian ran into several women who recognized her.
"Sister, you're back! Who's this?"
"Auntie, this is my boyfriend. He came here especially to visit me."
One of the aunties kept looking Song Zhe up and down, and said to Su Tian with a smile, "Sister, wow, your boyfriend is so handsome."
"Tall and big, you look good with me. Are you a soldier?"
"Yes, I wouldn't like him if he wasn't handsome."
He's good to me (he's good to me), so I started dating him first.
Hearing this, the aunties were all happy for Su Tian.
They even stood on tiptoe and patted Song Zhe on the shoulder, saying to him in broken Mandarin, "Young man, you're so lucky, our Su Tian is the best."
"Haha..." Su Tian couldn't help but burst into laughter; her broken Mandarin was just too funny.
Song Zhe understood and quickly said, "Yes, she is the best, thank you aunties."
"Auntie, we're going home now. We'll talk again next time. Bye."
"Great, have fun!"
Su Tian took Song Zhe home, and Song Zhe carefully placed the things on the ground.
Then he hugged Su Tian and said, "Your voice in the Guangdong dialect is so beautiful, so clear and melodious."
"Haha...Does that mean Mandarin isn't nice to listen to? Handsome!"
"It sounds nice too. Don't you older folks all speak Mandarin?"
"No, none of them do, but don't worry, my parents do, and my grandparents do too."
Although my pronunciation isn't perfect, I have no problem communicating with you.
"That's good. What I feared most was that when I was talking to them, you would have to translate for me."
If I talk to them too much, they won't listen to me, and they won't let me go with you, so...
"Don't worry, you'll learn after staying in Guangdong for a while. Let's cook first, and my parents should be back by then."
The two then went into the kitchen. Su Tian skillfully took out the ingredients, while Song Zhe helped wash and chop the vegetables.
Just as the meal was ready and set on the table, Su Tian's parents came back.
"Daughter, what delicious food are you making?" Before Su Tian's father even entered the door, his loud voice was the first thing to reach inside.
Song Zhe looked out the door and saw a tall, refined-looking middle-aged man enter the house.
He thought to himself, "Su Tian's father is indeed a scholar, as expected of someone who works in an office job."
Su Tian's father was taken aback when he saw Song Zhe, then a smile appeared on his face.
"You're Song Zhe?"
Su Tian quickly introduced, "Dad, this is Song Zhe, your daughter's boyfriend."
Song Zhe quickly and politely greeted him, "Hello, Uncle."
Su Tian's father nodded. "You cooked together?"
"Yes, these dishes are pretty good, aren't they? He made two of them."
"It looks good. How about we try it later? Please sit down. Your mother will be back soon."
Just then, Su Tian's mother returned. She walked up to Song Zhe and looked him over gently.
Her daughter has really good taste this time; this boyfriend is even better looking and more handsome than her father, and he has a very upright appearance.
Song Zhe sat motionless at the dining table, quietly allowing Su Tian's mother to observe him.
It turns out that Su Tian is so beautiful because her mother is beautiful. The mother and daughter look so alike and are so young, they look like sisters.
"Song Zhe, right? I'm Su Tian's mother. You can just call me Auntie."
My daughter has good taste; you're really handsome. And you have good taste too, choosing such a wonderful daughter like mine.
"Hello, Auntie."
"Haha...Mom, you're so good at talking. Of course I have good taste. And thank you, Mom, for making me so good-looking."
I resemble you more. If I resembled Dad, I'd be at most pretty, but if I resembled you, I'd be a stunning beauty.
"Daughter, what's wrong with your dad's looks? He's a little less handsome than your mom, but he's not ugly either."
"Hmph, when I walk down the street, those women still steal glances at me every now and then."
"What did you say?" Su Tian's mother suddenly shouted.
"Oh, no, he didn't say anything."
Su Tian couldn't help herself and quickly covered her mouth to laugh.
Every time I eat with her parents, I get to witness their hilarious display of affection.
Song Zhe discovered that Su Tian's father was definitely afraid of his wife, just like his own father, and was also afraid of his mother.
His mother said east, and his father dared not say west.
The atmosphere made Song Zhe feel very comfortable, and his inner restraint gradually dissipated.
After everyone was seated, they began to eat.
Su Tian was afraid that Song Zhe wouldn't dare to pick up food, so she quickly picked up food for him and didn't forget to pick up food for her parents as well.
"Mom and Dad, don't be jealous. Everyone gets a share, but you're number one in my heart."
"Haha...good, that's exactly what Dad wants to hear."
Then he said in Cantonese, “Daughter, you have a really good eye this time.”
This young man looks quite good; he's much better than that other guy.
"You, even such delicious food can't shut you up. Why bring up that unlucky thing in front of the child?"
"Okay, let's not talk about it. I'm just saying this because Song Zhe is a good kid."
Right? Look, my wife and daughter are both on your side.
You've only been here half a day, and I've already fallen out of favor.
"Dad, does the governor know you're this funny? Are you like this at work too?"
"No, I always have a serious expression at work, and I have an imposing presence. People in the company are afraid of me."
"Hmph, you're just pretending."
Su Tian's mother looked at her husband and said in an annoyed tone.
"Oh, that's how my parents are. They always bicker during meals."
“I think they’re doing well; they seem to have a good relationship.”
"Of course they are good. I took my mother in and raised her when she was little. She eventually became my wife."
