Chapter 352: Meeting the parents-in-law, not showing off like a brocade dress at night
"You're leaving so soon? I was thinking of having a meal and a couple of drinks with you."
He felt somewhat reluctant when he heard that Zhou Can was going back to the provincial capital today.
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future! If nothing else, I'll hang up now."
"You keep busy!"
After receiving Zhou Can's advice, Cheng Dazhuang felt more confident, and his fate was also quietly changing.
In terms of study, he changed from being self-destructive and unmotivated to being positive and regaining the confidence to fight. It was mainly Zhou Can who gave him this confidence.
At work, his status in the hospital rose significantly, which was also brought about by Zhou Can.
Cheng Dazhuang is very lucky to meet such a great benefactor in his life. But having a benefactor is not enough, you have to work hard to seize the opportunity.
Otherwise, you will be like a piece of mud that cannot be supported on the wall. It will be useless even if you know the king.
After Zhou Can arrived at the hotel, he told Su Qianqian that his parents had invited her home for lunch. She seemed very happy, but also a little nervous, as this was her first time to formally meet the man's parents.
"Honey, can I go in this outfit?"
She pulled out a more casual outfit and asked Zhou Can for his opinion.
Before Zhou Can gave any opinion, she was the first to reject it.
She shook her head and said, "No, no, you still have to dress more formally." After that, she took out a dress for attending important occasions. "Wouldn't it be too formal to wear this? Then your parents will think I'm too high and too conspicuous."
In this way, Su Qianqian had already encountered great difficulties in choosing clothes.
Zhou Can found it very funny.
"Just wear this casual outfit! It's appropriate and friendly. It's just a family dinner anyway, and there won't be any other guests. Only my uncle will come to eat with us."
If I don't give her a decision, I'm afraid she'll have to wait until the evening to make the choice.
This also indirectly reflects that she cares about this love and she has put a lot of thought into pleasing the boy's parents.
It was almost eleven o'clock when I finally waited for her to change her clothes and put on makeup.
It's really not easy for lesbians to go out.
Just putting on makeup, changing clothes, and matching jewelry can take an hour or two.
Su Qianqian was born with extraordinary beauty. Now with her delicate makeup and three or four pieces of high-end jewelry, she suddenly became extremely beautiful. She was truly so beautiful that she could captivate fish and geese, and flowers and the moon.
My mother called.
"Son, have you picked up Miss Qianqian? Where are you?"
"We're on the way. We'll probably be there in about ten minutes!"
The hotel he stayed in was not very far from his home.
In fact, the county town itself is very small. It takes no more than half an hour to drive from the east end to the west end of the city.
Wei Fang was driving the BMW, while Zhou Can and Su Qianqian were sitting in the back.
Soon, the car slowly drove into his villa.
Compared to the previous few days, the seal on the door had been torn off. Zhou Can had the key to the villa's door with him, so he pressed the remote control and the door slowly opened to both sides.
I drove into the front yard and saw that there were already three cars parked in the garage.
The black Mercedes-Benz was the car that Director Zhou drove, a business car. There was no other way, he needed such a car for business talks. It was already covered with dust, and when the family property was seized, it seemed that this car was not spared.
The white Audi next to it is my mother's car.
There was also a thick layer of dust.
The other Toyota Prado is my uncle’s car.
My uncle likes to drive this kind of mighty and domineering big guy, like a tank rolling on the road.
Judging from the fresh vehicle tracks on the road, my uncle must have just arrived.
"Your villa is so big!"
"It is quite big. When we bought it, the villa and the garden were among the best in the county. My father is a real estate fanatic and likes to build a family business. When buying a house, you have to buy a big one. At that time, in order to build a swimming pool, we even found a developer. When building a factory, we also have to get a good plot of land, and the area must be large."
Zhou Can said with a smile.
Entering his villa, one really gets a feeling of grandeur and magnificence.
"If I have money in the future, I want to buy a big villa like this in the provincial capital, preferably with a swimming pool. Looking at the building area, it's probably about 600 to 700 square meters, right?"
Su Qianqian sat in the car, looking at his house curiously, with a look of admiration in her eyes.
"The property area is more than 400 square meters, and the actual usable area may be more than 800 square meters. This kind of large house still has some disadvantages. For example, the property fee is not cheap, it is not easy to clean, and it is very empty to live in. If you give birth to a bunch of little monkeys for me in the future, maybe you can consider this kind of big house. Otherwise, it is better to buy a smaller one."
Zhou Can expressed his own views.
"You are so beautiful, and you gave birth to a bunch of little monkeys! I'm not a breeding machine!" Su Qianqian said this, but in her heart she longed for a happy life of living in a villa with children running around her.
"Hey, two or three kids is enough, right?"
Zhou Can likes children very much and thinks he needs to have at least two or three.
"Weifang, just park the car in the fourth parking space in the garage."
Because the villa is large enough, the garage can park four cars. If there are guests, another four cars can be parked outside. It is no problem to park a total of eight cars.
The back garden is larger than the front.
After the three got off the car, Zhou Can's mother was already standing on the steps of the house, greeting them with a smile on her face.
Apart from the couple, the only person who could open the door of the villa was their son who had the key.
"Mom! This is your future daughter-in-law, Su Qianqian!"
Zhou Can smiled and introduced his girlfriend's identity to his mother.
Su Qianqian squeezed his hand hard, her pretty face blushing slightly.
Zhou Can never follows the rules and always uses the words "future daughter-in-law". This makes Su Qianqian feel sweet and a little shy.
After all, this is the first time I officially meet the man’s mother.
"Hello, Auntie!"
She had seen countless big scenes. Although she was shy, she behaved gracefully and greeted Zhou Can's mother politely with a smile.
"What a pretty girl! I've heard my son mention you many times. You're even prettier than you look in the photo! Please come in and have a seat, Qianqian. Now that you're here, it's like being at home. Don't be shy."
Zhou Can's mother smiled and walked forward to hold Su Qianqian's hand.
She is also a female entrepreneur herself.
She has strong affinity and communication skills. She has developed many of the family businesses.
"Mom, this is the driver we hired, Wei Fang."
"Hello, Miss Wei Fang! Please come in and sit down!"
Mom greeted the driver with a smile.
Zhou Can did not say that he was Su Qianqian's driver, but told his mother that this was a driver they hired together.
A man is a double-sided sticky tape, serving as a bond between a woman and her parents.
Only when a man has high emotional intelligence and can consciously reduce conflicts between his wife and his parents can his wife live in harmony with his family.
If a man is blindly filial and follows his parents' wishes in everything without having his own opinions, it is very easy to cause dissatisfaction from his wife, who will find life difficult and conflicts are inevitable.
There is another type of man who praises his wife to the sky and treats her like a princess. It is not a bad thing to spoil your wife, but if you ignore the feelings of your parents, it is also easy to cause dissatisfaction from your parents.
In the wife's mind, she is always an outsider, and she does not get the respect she deserves. Her mother-in-law and father-in-law criticize her from time to time. She will feel that her parents-in-law are targeting her and picking on her. Then family conflicts will break out.
Therefore, the man’s attitude is crucial to whether a family is harmonious.
If it is a live-in son-in-law, the woman's attitude is crucial.
If possible, it would be ideal to live separately from your parents and keep them within a bowl of soup of each other.
What is the distance of a bowl of soup?
Just make something delicious, send it over, and it will stay hot.
That's the distance of a bowl of soup.
"Mom, this is a gift Qianqian picked out especially for you and Dad. Can I put it at the door of your room?"
Zhou Can took out the prepared gifts from the car.
It is a taboo .
Any daughter-in-law with a little emotional intelligence will bring some gifts.
Even carrying a bag of fruit is much better than carrying nothing.
"Hey, come to our house and have a seat. His father and I will be happier than anything else. Why buy a special gift for him? Qianqian, I'm sorry to have let you spend money!"
"I don't know if uncle and aunt will like it, so I just bought a few things casually. Your house is really grand. These furnitures are all mahogany furnitures, right?" Su Qianqian has a very high EQ. After all, she is a female star in the entertainment industry.
Without emotional intelligence and IQ, you will definitely not be able to make any progress in the entertainment industry.
She mentioned it lightly and changed the subject.
This way the atmosphere won't become awkward.
If you keep dwelling on the topic of gifts, the conversation will die out in a matter of minutes.
"Haha, Qianqian has a really good eye. She can recognize that it is mahogany furniture at a glance. These are specially made from coastal areas." As they spoke, several people had already entered the living room.
My uncle and his family were sitting in the living room drinking tea.
As soon as they entered the room, their eyes naturally fell on Su Qianqian.
After all, this is the new daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, and everyone wants to see what she looks like and what she does.
"Son, go call your uncle and aunt!"
Mom reminded Zhou Can.
"Uncle! Aunt! Brother! Sister-in-law!"
Zhou Can went over to greet their family.
"Haha, Achan is getting more and more handsome! I heard that you found a girlfriend, so we came here specially to see you."
Uncle smiled and praised Zhou Can.
"This brat is never anxious. His father and I are very anxious. We often tell him that his brother's children are old enough to help with cooking. Now he finally brings home a daughter-in-law. His father and I are relieved now!"
My mother's words made everyone laugh.
"Hello, uncle! Hello, aunt..."
Su Qianqian is well-educated and well-mannered, with dignified and steady manners. She walked forward with a smile to greet her uncle's family.
"What a beautiful girl! Ah Chan, you must cherish her!"
The uncle smiled and nodded at Su Qianqian, then gave Zhou Can some instructions.
"Of course. Qianqian is willing to marry me. That's the blessing I've cultivated for several lifetimes. Besides, our Zhou family has a fine tradition. Both my father and you are loyal and considerate to your wives. I see my sister-in-law has a happy smile on her face, and I believe my brother treats her very well. When I come here, I must not bring shame to our Zhou family!"
Zhou Can took over the conversation and praised his uncle, cousin, and father.
It is said that cousins are three thousand miles apart, and first cousins are five hundred years apart.
The eldest uncle's children had a very close relationship with Zhou Can. On the contrary, they did not have much contact with the third aunt's children. They only met during festivals, said hello, and chatted for a while.
"Haha, look at Zhou Can's mouth, it's just like honey. No wonder he can win the heart of such a beautiful woman!" The aunt was obviously pleased to hear Zhou Can's words, and she smiled, revealing two inlaid silver teeth.
Time is merciless. My uncle and aunt are almost sixty years old and their old age can already be seen on their bodies.
The butcher knife of time has left deeper scars on my aunt.
In addition to the fact that she had lost at least two teeth, the wrinkles on her face could not be hidden even with thick foundation . As for her hair, it was still black and shiny, and everyone knew that.
Women who love beauty like to dye their gray hair black when they get older.
There are only two words that women fear the most: ugly and old.
Many women have misunderstandings about aging. They think that they will become ugly when they get old. In fact, this is not true. There are a few women who live a refined life, constantly improve their inner cultivation, love to learn, have an open mind, are kind-hearted, and have a certain economic foundation. Such women can be elegant and beautiful even when they are old.
People have different physical conditions at different ages throughout their lives, so there is really no need to be afraid of getting old.
Because there's no use being afraid.
Time is fair to everyone. It passes silently and there is no way to resist it.
Just then, Zhou Can's father also rushed back.
"Sorry, I had something to deal with at the factory and came back late."
"Dad! This is my girlfriend Qianqian."
Zhou Can quickly introduced him to his father.
Su Qianqian also greeted with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Zhou!"
"Okay, okay! Oh, when I first saw this, I thought the fairies from the Moon Palace had come down to earth! Miss Qianqian, please take a seat, and don't be polite. Just treat this place as your own home."
When Director Zhou saw that his son really brought home a daughter-in-law, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
"Haha, Uncle Zhou is so humorous!"
Su Qianqian smiled happily. At least for now, she got along well with Zhou Can's family and relatives. The atmosphere was harmonious and joyful.
After greeting Su Qianqian, Director Zhou then greeted his elder brother and sister-in-law.
After getting to know each other, everyone sat down and began the formal chat phase.
"A-chan, I heard that you got a job at Tuya Hospital, that's great!"
Uncle is the eldest brother and has a very strong aura.
Even when visiting his home, the topic of conversation is generally dominated by my uncle.
"That's it anyway! It's still just the regular training stage, which is equivalent to an internship! The salary is 2,000 yuan a month."
Zhou Can said modestly.
"Xiao Hai, aren't you an official in the medical system? Help your brother if you have the chance!"
My aunt is actually a person who likes to show off.
Nine out of ten women are vain, just to varying degrees.
This is not nonsense.
There are few women who don't like to show off.
People all want to have face. If they become rich or an official, they all want to go home and bring honor to their family.
Women love to show off and compare with others more than men.
When her family bought a new car, she made sure to show it off to her colleagues and neighbors. When her son was admitted to a prestigious university, she wanted to let the whole world know.
This cannot be simply said to be a shortcoming or a bad thing.
There has been a saying since ancient times that if you get promoted but don't return to your hometown, it's like walking in the night in gorgeous clothes.
Zhou Can's cousin passed the civil service exam, which he knew. He was an official in the health department, which he had only heard of vaguely.
