Chapter 744: Meeting the Parents
It wasn't until Chen Nanxing's parents were no longer seen saying farewell that Xu Hongdou let out a sigh of relief and relaxed.
"Miss Chen Nanxing again?"
"You don't want to. Chen Nanxing is the same age as me. Over the years, he has been clamoring to buy a house and a car to find a partner. But you also know the housing prices in Beijing. You can't afford it at all. As for a car, you can't buy it without a license plate. You have to get a license plate. Lottery is basically the same as winning a lottery. Although she was excited to find a partner, she was frightened and hesitant when it came to the actual situation. As a result, she got nothing but a terminal illness, leaving her parents with gray hair. Black-haired people, it makes me uncomfortable just thinking about it.”
Wang Yan said with a smile: "The deceased is gone. Whether it is parents or friends, you must learn to accept it. You have been spending a lot of time with Chen Nanxing's parents recently. They both looked happy, but after losing their daughter, The pain doesn't go away so quickly. It won't be relieved for a lifetime. You are just affected by it. Your sadness will go away as quickly as it comes. I'll just wait until you get home."
Xu Hongdou's mood became even lower: "That's right, you said that when Chen Nanxing just left, I really couldn't do anything, and I was in a state of confusion every day. Four months later, although I still feel uncomfortable thinking about it now, it doesn't feel like that. It was like that before..."
Wang Yan knew clearly that she was afraid that she would forget Chen Nanxing and that feeling, or that she would not be remembered by anyone until the day she had it. This was a sad thing. But the source of it is time, and no one can fight against it. He has a deeper understanding of this.
"Don't be sentimental, think about it conversely, the things that made you so happy at first are not so happy now when you look back. People can't maintain an emotion for a long time, maybe this is also to protect us. To Otherwise, there are too many joys, sorrows and joys in a person's life, his brain is active, he sometimes cries and sometimes laughs, sometimes he gets angry and sometimes he scolds, how can he still survive?"
Xu Hongdou imagined that kind of scene in his mind and laughed out loud: "If it's really the same as what you said, then there's really no way I can survive."
"So, be happy when you are happy, be sad when you are sad, everything will become a thing of the past."
Turning his head and looking at Wang Yan, who was supporting his chin with his left hand and steering the wheel with his right hand, tilting his head slightly and nonchalantly bobbing his head to the music, Xu Hongdou said: "Everything is the same, I think you are successful. Learn the potential of a master.”
"Why don't you hurry up and understand the applause?"
Xu Hongdou really clapped and cooperated, and the car was laughing and joking for a while. The little melancholy that was there just now disappeared in an instant.
After joking for a while, she turned to ask: "Are you nervous?"
Wang Yan himself couldn't even remember how many father-in-laws and mothers-in-law he had, he said with a smile: "Do you think I'm nervous?"
"You are cunning, I can't tell." Xu Hongdou said to himself, regardless of Wang Yan's reaction, "But it's okay even if you are nervous. My parents are very talkative, and they respect me more. I didn't want to interfere in my affairs randomly. Besides, I had met Xu Hongmi before. Didn't I ask her about it later? She said all good things, just like what you said before. It’s a good impression, just be more natural.”
"Maybe it would be better to think in another direction."
"What?"
Wang Yan said with a smile: "This old girl is thirty-two years old. Let alone getting married, she doesn't even have a partner. Seeing that she is getting older and older, if she can't find a partner anymore, no one will want her. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are not worried. Can't sleep? Now that my brother-in-law is here, you think they can't provide me with good food and drink because they are afraid of scaring me away? So, they are also nervous. "
"Fuck you, no one wants you."
"Hey, look, we don't deserve each other. You don't want me, and I don't want you."
Xu Hongdou pouted and slapped him angrily...
Zizhou is not a big city. Although Xu Hongdou's home is in the county seat, it is not far from the city, only a twenty-minute drive. If Zizhou's overall economy improves, its finances are sufficient, and there is greater demand for development, it is impossible to say that the city will expand and be directly annexed into a district. Therefore, it is also determined by such conditions that the development of the county is not bad.
Generally speaking, it doesn't look much different from the city. All those things are there, including the treatment level of the hospital, the teaching quality of the school is relatively poor, and there are not many differences in other aspects. Even if there is no illness, no disaster, no hardship, it is still very comfortable.
The two chatted and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at an old community with no gates and no real estate. Xu Hongdou's parents were waiting downstairs and even occupied a parking space. Although it is a county town, there are not many cars at all. New cars are cars, second-hand cars are cars, cars worth tens or millions of dollars are cars, and cars worth tens of thousands of yuan are also cars, so parking spaces are still relatively tight.
Wang Yancai received a warm welcome as soon as he got out of the car.
Xu's father stretched out his hands to welcome him, grabbed Wang Yan's hand and shook it: "Oh, Wang Yan, he is much more handsome in person than on the phone."
"Thank you, uncle. You two are more energetic than on your mobile phone." Wang Yan replied politely.
Without waiting for Xu's father to continue speaking, some chubby Xu's mother came up and squeezed Xu's father away. She enthusiastically grabbed Wang Yan's hand and continued to shake it: "You kid, you look different. No wonder you can make a documentary." You are a celebrity. You don’t know. We are watching videos every day at home. You said that for such a small village, you just made it famous for others. It’s really amazing..."
Father Xu had no complaints either. He just stood aside, nodded and agreed with what Mother Xu said.
Looking at her parents, Xu Hongdou, who was ignored, leaned against the car helplessly. Seeing her mother talking endlessly, she had to speak out to declare her existence: "It's almost enough."
"You still say that, you make me worry every day, and finally bring Wang Yan back to me after so many years." Mother Xu pointed at the old girl and scolded her.
Looking at Xu Hongdou's speechless expression, Wang Yan laughed and gave a thumbs up: "Aunt, what you said is very good. We are really destined to be together. If Hongdou had really brought someone back earlier, I would have nothing to do."
Mother Xu is similar to his mother. They are both good at talking and willing to talk. They can talk a lot.
"That's right. You said China is so big, and you two went to Dali for a trip, and you bumped into each other on the road. This is God's matchmaking for you." Mother Xu said, patting Wang Yan's arm vigorously, "He doesn't look fat, but he looks really strong after this pat."
Xu Hongdou said, "Hurry up and go upstairs. It's very cold outside."
Father Xu nodded in agreement, "Hongdou is right. Let's not stay downstairs. Wang Yan, open the trunk and I'll help you carry the luggage. It's old and small, with no elevator. We live on the fifth floor, and it's hard to go up and down."
"Oh, Dad, why are you still carrying luggage? My mom has asked someone to calculate the date. We're moving tomorrow. Wang Yan bought a lot of things, and Chen Nanxing's parents also packed a lot. Let's not bother."
Now the house is old and small, and they still live on the fifth floor. The old couple are old, and it's very inconvenient to go up and down. They didn't buy a house before, not because Xu Hongdou and Xu Hongmi were unfilial, but because they were unwilling to do so. Although it was a county town, a house cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the decoration would cost a lot, and it would also cause trouble for their children, so of course they didn't want to.
Xu Hongdou didn't care, but she didn't earn much, so the old couple was even more reluctant to let Xu Hongdou pay. Although Xu Hongmi was capable and earned a lot, she was already married, and this kind of thing was prone to conflicts, so it was dragged on until now. They also had money in their hands, the previous savings, and the filial piety of their daughter, but they always wanted to save it and didn't want to spend it.
The reason they bought it now was that they really felt heavy and inconvenient. So they didn't resist. Xu Hongmi kept saying, "Look, I have to buy it sooner or later, and I have to suffer a lot." She happily paid for a three-bedroom elevator villa with an area of more than 100 square meters.
"Yes, and even if I want to get it, I don't need you, I can do it myself. I heard from Hongdou that your waist is not very good? I have learned two-hand massage from someone, and I will give you a massage later."
Father Xu nodded with a smile, and did not refuse, because he did not think that he could be hurt by the massage, so there was no need to ask. : "It's just that I'm old, if you don't mind the trouble, you can massage me. It's hard enough to toss and turn every day. Okay, let's go upstairs and talk."
"Take some food upstairs, they are all specialties of Yunnan Province, and they packed a lot when they came back. They also bought gifts for you, hey, uncle, aunt, don't say anything. Even if you travel all over China, it's not reasonable to come to your house empty-handed for the first time."
"Look at you, kid, you don't let people talk." Mother Xu laughed and slapped Wang Yan, and at the same time did not forget to give Xu Hongdou a satisfied look.
Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes wildly...
Wang Yan was very experienced in dealing with his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Besides, he didn't need to talk about "dealing" with his current conditions. He just stood there and put forward his conditions, and he was almost satisfied.
Both his parents were dead, he had no relatives or friends, and he was very wealthy. He was not handsome, but he was also good-looking. His eyes were bright, his edges and corners were clear, and he had his own temperament. He was not bad in height, he was good at speaking, he was well-informed, cultured, and versatile.
There was nothing to find fault with him. If you had to say something, it would be that rich people were bad, or that he was talking about the impure relationship between men and women. But he always gave people confidence and made people believe him, otherwise he would have been in vain.
Of course, in today's society, for many families, as long as they had money and looked decent, that would be the best. If the living father didn't give him a lot of money, he would actually be excellent based on other conditions, because there was no reason why he couldn't make money with so many characteristics. People are willing to believe in his ability to make money for a long time and make a lot of money.
If it was when he first got his father, and he traveled to the film and television world of the same timeline, it would be in vain. It's not that he can't find a partner, but he can't find someone with conditions like Xu Hongdou.
Daily thanks to his father for his favor...
When he got upstairs, he put a bracelet on Xu's mother and a watch on Xu's father. Then he sat down and talked for a while, and gave Xu's father a massage. The old couple started to prepare the meal.
If there is anything to say, you have to eat and drink. Xu's father believes that a person's character can be seen by his drinking. The old man kept urging him to drink. Although he was a thief who drank less, he drank from noon to night and finally succeeded in getting drunk.
Xu's mother talked with the two until more than nine o'clock, and then went to wash up. After that, she told Xu Hongdou, who was blushing, and Wang Yan, who was shameless, to go to bed early, and then went back to her room.
Xu Hongdou was still a little uncomfortable, and ran to the bathroom to wash up. She felt better after she finished washing.
Wang Yan also went to wash up, returned to Xu Hongdou's room, let out a sigh of relief, and lay down on the double bed.
"My dad is such a jerk. He told me you can drink, but he insisted on competing with you. He's an old man, and he'll get into trouble if he drinks again." Xu Hongdou looked helpless, and put her legs on Wang Yan's stomach, shaking them.
"It's okay, I'm watching. He's been drinking for a long time, and the alcohol has time to work, so there's no problem. He's just old, otherwise your dad can drink a lot."
Wang Yan smiled, "He's testing me with alcohol, and he's checking for you."
"He drank himself down, what else can he do?" Xu Hongdou sneered at her old father's behavior.
"At least it's confirmed that I can really drink a lot, and I won't beat my wife after drinking too much."
"If I really want to beat someone, I can beat them regardless of whether I'm drunk or not." Xu Hongdou said with a smile, "Don't be too proud, my dad can't drink much, and your alcohol test is still to come. Didn't you hear my mom say that after moving, we have to invite relatives and friends to the new house to see and get to know the place. I'm giving you a shot in advance, those uncles can drink a lot, if you say you can't drink, it's okay, but if you can drink, that's a problem."
"I also have some knowledge of your bars, I've been here before, don't worry, it's no big deal. I'm not a stubborn person, I drink if I can, and surrender if I can't, it's no big deal. Okay, go to bed, I have to get up early tomorrow to move."
Xu Hongdou hummed, turned off the lights, lay in the quilt and rode on Wang Yan, arching a few times to find a comfortable position...
The next day, Wang Yan didn't get up early to run. The old couple had a shallow sleep at their age and were easy to be disturbed. If he got up, the old couple would definitely not be able to lie down.
I just lay there until Xu's father got up and went out to buy breakfast. Xu Hongdou was about to wake up, so she went out to wash and eat.
Moving today, there is no doubt that Wang Yan, the new son-in-law, is the main force. Although the old couple had moved a lot of things there before, there are still many things to move. The broken house is worth a lot of money, and nothing is left. But fortunately, this house is not going to be sold, and things can still be stored here.
The new house was not bought in the city, but in the county town. They are used to living here. Most of their relatives and friends are here, and they don't want to be too far away. So they didn't call a car again, and didn't let Xu's father bother others. He drove the big pickup truck twice.
That night, a bunch of relatives and friends of the Xu family came to the door with things to help warm the pot. Of course, it is definitely not all, but the real relatives in the county town, adults and children, who set up two tables at home, which was very lively.
At the same time, I also took this opportunity to introduce Wang Yan, the new son-in-law, to everyone, and have a good meal...
