Chapter 419 Meeting with Future In-Laws
Suit pants, big leather shoes, and a neat black shirt with two buttons undone at the collar.
Qi Zhijun was dressed very decently today. Under the pressure of his wife, he finally changed out of the camouflage military pants he wore all year round.
Qi Zhijun, who is in his fifties, would be believed to be in his thirties just by looking at his figure if he covered his head and face.
Even many young people who have been sitting in offices all year round are far inferior to Qi Zhijun.
When Xia Miao's parents followed Zhao Qishui out of the airport, Zhao Qishui introduced them to He Shu's uncle.
The two of them greeted each other and shook hands very politely. It was really because He Shu's uncle had such a strong aura.
Qi Zhijun specially drove a business car to pick people up today, just to make the car more spacious so that his future in-laws could sit more comfortably.
Zhao Qishui was a little afraid of Qi Zhijun at first, but he came every month during these days and had become very familiar with Qi Zhijun.
He Shu's uncle looks serious, but he is actually a very down-to-earth person.
On the way, Qi Zhijun didn't talk much with Xia Miao's parents. He just said he would go home to have dinner and stay at home at night.
This time, Xia Miao's parents came here purely for a trip, and also to see the new house that Xia Miao had told them about.
The new house is ready, so having two children is probably a done deal. It’s not too early to meet the parents now.
The car drove into the compound, and Xia Miao's parents looked at each other when they saw the heavily guarded soldiers outside.
Looking at the small red brick buildings hidden among the green trees in the courtyard, I had a deeper understanding of He Shu's grandfather's home.
Zhu Yu and Qi Xue were waiting outside the door to greet them early in the morning. As soon as Xia Miao's parents got out of the car, they were warmly welcomed.
When we welcomed the guests into the house, the old man was there too, smiling and greeting them: "The in-laws are here."
Xia Miao's parents were a little uncomfortable with this title. They politely shook hands with Grandpa Qi and were invited to sit on the sofa.
The nanny at home brought the prepared high-quality tea in time, and Xia Miao's father started chatting with He Shu's grandfather.
Xia Miao's mother was pulled aside by Zhu Yu to talk. Zhao Qishui was a frequent visitor to the Qi family, so he was not reserved and sat aside drinking tea.
Qi Xue leaned on the other side of the sofa, observing Xia Miao's parents. Well...they are He Shu's future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
When He Shu drove Xia Miao home, Xia Miao's parents had already become familiar with the Qi family.
Xia Miao's mother also went to the kitchen and helped Zhu Yu while chatting with her. The nanny just helped out.
Xia Miao's father was having a good chat with the old man and Zhao Qishui, and they talked a lot about Danhe's economic problems in recent years.
My uncle Qi Zhijun is like a decoration at home. He is not good at chatting with people and just sits in the corner of the sofa eating dried fruits.
My aunt Qi Xue was also listening in. Her job now is different from before, and she also wants to listen to voices from different places.
Seeing the two little ones come back, everyone's topic shifted to them again.
"The design drawings for the new house have come out and construction has already started. I'll take you over to have a look in the next two days. The two children made the decision themselves. I've looked at the design drawings and they're sure to look good after it's decorated." Zhu Yu said with a smile.
During this trip, Xia Miao's mother was able to witness the strength of He Shu's grandpa's family.
Hearing this, he quickly said, "As long as the two little ones like it, it's fine. Xia Miao's father and I came here this time to see if there is anything we can do to help. After all, this is a house prepared for two children, so Xia Miao's father and I would like to contribute to the decoration."
They really didn't expect that they had bought a house in Dadu as soon as possible after they had mentioned to He Shu before that they should buy one if they were able to do so, and it was done so quickly.
Before leaving home, Xia Miao's father said that since He Shu's family had paid in full for the wedding house in Dadu, they would still have to pay for the decoration of the house for their child.
At that time, Xia Miao's mother also felt that if her family paid for the renovation, then Xia Miao's name should be added to the property title.
But when Xia Miao told them that the wedding house was an independent small Western-style building and its decoration cost millions, they were shocked.
Now that I'm here, I see that He Shu's grandpa's family is well off and of a very high status, and I think that maybe it's nothing to them.
But Xia Miao's mother couldn't say anything about adding Xia Miao's name, because she was afraid that after saying it, people would think that their daughter was after money and a house, which would leave a bad impression.
Xia Miao will stay in Dadu in the future. He Shu's situation is special. Although she doesn't have parents-in-law, marrying He Shu is almost the same as marrying into the Qi family.
He also wants to follow He Shu to take care of the elders of the Qi family.
Although more than one million yuan is a bit of a pressure, after considering it, Xia Miao's parents decided to give the money to their child.
It is said that when looking for a partner, you should choose someone who is well-matched in social status. Xia Miao's parents are also trying to make their daughter more powerful at home in the future.
In their opinion, the Qi family could afford such an expensive house, which made them a wealthy family.
Not everyone is willing to let their daughter marry into a wealthy family, as they are also afraid that their children will be wronged in the future due to the unequal status of the two parties.
Just with this house, Xia Miao's parents knew that no matter how hard they tried, they would never be able to marry someone of equal status.
The two children have such a good relationship and have known each other for so many years. They also feel from the bottom of their hearts that He Shu is a very outstanding person, so they should stop messing around and ruin their daughter's good marriage.
These thoughts only flashed through Xia Miao's parents' minds, without them revealing a single word.
Therefore, when they heard that they wanted to help their child with the renovation costs, no matter whether He Shu and Xia Miao finally accepted it or not, at least the Qi family was very satisfied with these future in-laws .
At least it shows one thing, that they value He Shu as their future son-in-law.
The meal was ready, and everyone gathered together to have a lively meal.
At the dinner table, grandpa took out his small wine glass and drank a small glass of white wine.
Grandpa hasn't drunk alcohol since Mr. Dong passed away.
Xia Miao's parents came over today, and grandpa was happy, so he drank with Xia Miao's father and He Shu's godfather.
After dinner, Aunt Zhu Yu wanted to arrange accommodation for Xia Miao's parents, but Xia Miao's father quickly refused, saying that he had already booked a hotel.
After much persuasion, there was finally no choice but to let He Shu send Xia Miao's parents to the hotel to rest, and they made an appointment to go see the new house together tomorrow.
Godfather Zhao Qishui stayed in the Qi family. After Xia Miao's parents said they would give him one million yuan, he became silent.
How could the old man not see that he was thinking about something, so he kept him to talk.
After everyone left, Mr. Qi poured Zhao Qishui a cup of tea and said, "Xiao Zhao, how is your business lately?"
Zhao Qishui cheered up: "It's OK, they are basically fixed customers, and there is no bigger market. In the past two years, more and more car washes have opened..."
Mr. Qi nodded and said, "It's good to have a regular customer base. I heard from Xiaoshu that your car wash is well-known in Danhe. You never cheat people and your prices are fair."
Zhao Qishui smiled embarrassedly: "This is the only skill I have. If I don't work hard, I won't be able to keep people."
"Yes, people, no matter what you do, as long as you do your best, you will be rewarded."
Old Master Qi patted Zhao Qishui's hand and said, "Xiaoshu is very dependent on you, which shows that you are really good to the child. This child knows how to repay your kindness and will be filial to you in the future."
