Chapter 223

Hut.

Grandpa, who was sitting on the small bed, moved the remote control and turned down the volume of the 21-inch old-fashioned TV a little.Outside the crack of the door, a wisp of oily smoke and the smell of cooking squeezed in. At eleven o'clock, it was almost time for lunch.

Grandma stared at Xia Wanqiu with narrowed eyes, and squeezed her little hand: "Wan Qiu, Yuqin and her husband know about you?"

Xia Wanqiu shook her head expressionlessly.

Ren Hao said for her: "That's it, I told my mother to bring a girlfriend here today, but I didn't tell them about Late Autumn's career, age, ahem, grandma, you can't do it if you look at Late Autumn , before my mother finds out, I will let her go. If you think she is okay, then what, um, can you help us talk to my mother, my mother is filial , just listen to you."

As soon as the words were finished, Xia Wanqiu also looked at her grandma cooperatively, her long eyelashes flickering.

Grandma frowned in embarrassment, and glanced at her wife, but said nothing.

Ren Hao said while the iron was hot: "Grandma, grandpa, in good conscience, Wanqiu has basically no shortcomings. Although he is older than me, being older has the advantages of being older. He can take care of me in every way, which is pretty good." Yes, don't look at her cold temper, she is actually an occupational disease. She and the High School Affiliated to Normal University are the deputy directors of the Political and Education Department, and they should be promoted to directors in the next year. You know, the Political and Education Department is nothing more than an organization that manages students. She has a lot of energy, she, just be honest with me, it's not the case at school, people are sideways, when Xia Wanqiu's name is mentioned in the High School Attached to Normal University, those children will avoid her, if you don't believe me, ask Minmin, this She knows best."

Grandma didn't speak, but listened carefully.

Ren Hao looked at the expressions of the old couple, and continued: "The most important thing is that she is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, kind-hearted, and has no evil intentions. It is absolutely impossible for her to calculate this and that. Tell me, now Where can I find this kind of person, I walked around the city with a lantern, and there is no second person who is better than her, hehe, I'm not bragging, late autumn is pure like a piece of white paper, so clear Like a glass of clear water..."

Xia Wanqiu didn't blush, she just sat there quietly.

Grandma glared at him: "Blush first and then praise, you are clever!"

Ren Hao smiled embarrassedly: "I am seeking truth from facts, she is really good, otherwise, could I have taken a fancy to her for your grandson, I have high eyesight, grandma, grandpa, age is not a problem, and occupation can't explain much... ..." Having said this, Ren Hao's face darkened, he raised his eyes to glance at his grandma, and muttered in a low voice: "Of course, if you are afraid that our affairs will affect you badly, so that the neighbors point and gossip about you, then you should be I didn't say it, it doesn't matter if I'm happy or not, the face of you and my grandpa is the most important thing."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Grandma clenched Xia Wanqiu's hands even tighter: "We both stepped into the coffin with one foot, so why worry about losing face?" After thinking about it, grandma also I understand what Ren Hao meant, this little guy started talking ironically from the moment he entered the room, causing himself to be red-faced!

Obviously it was what that brat wanted to say, but I said it for him instead!

Grandma hated him so much that she wanted to take off his pants and slap a few brooms on him.However, what was said could not be taken back. Seeing Xia Wanqiu's tight eyes, grandma softened, frowned and looked at his wife, as if asking for his opinion.

Grandpa pretended not to see it, and watched Peking Opera with his eyes fixed on the TV.

"Mute! Say something!"

Grandpa solemnly stroked the white hair on his head, and took a look at Xia Wanqiu: "...it doesn't count if we talk, just ask Yuqin."

Seeing that the situation had turned around, Ren Hao walked over one by one with a flattering smile on his face, knelt down in front of his grandma, stretched out his hand and gently beat her leg: "Grandma, who doesn't know that my mother listens to you, if you Once the decision is made, then this matter is almost inseparable, right?" After saying that, Ren Hao winked at Xia Wanqiu.

Xia Wanqiu understood, bent down, and squatted there like Ren Hao, with her thighs hanging down for her grandma.

Grandma looked at the two juniors who flattered her on the left and the right, she was angry and funny, rolled her eyes, and patted them on the shoulder twice: "It's okay, I'm old and my bones are not strong. , If you don’t agree, don’t let the two of you fall apart, get up.”

Ren Hao beamed with joy: "Grandma still loves me."

Xia Wanqiu said: "Thank you, grandma."

"Hey, you two just hurt me, Yuqin has such a temper, I don't know if I can suppress her."

"Hey, you're too modest. What else can my mother create in front of you? Isn't it at the same level..." After Ren Hao flattered his grandma, he turned around and went in front of his grandpa again. Rubbing the cervical spine: "Grandpa, you see that my grandma has agreed to help us both, but you are an old party member, so it's impossible for you to be less enlightened than my grandma?"

Grandpa blew his beard, "It's time to eat, you take Wan Qiu to meet someone first."

"Okay, hey, thank you grandma and grandpa, then let's go first..." Ren Hao looked at Xia Wanqiu, and pouted towards the door, Xia Wanqiu also bowed to thank him, and then went out of the house with him.

As soon as the door was closed, Ren Hao leaned against the wall and heaved a sigh of relief. With a wry smile, he glanced at Xia Wanqiu and noticed the living room. Seeing that there was no one there, Ren Hao took her hand and walked quickly to the next battle location.The positions must be breached one by one, otherwise it will be very troublesome for people with firm opposing opinions to gather together.

Let's go to the big house!

Uncle is there!

The door of the master bedroom was wide open, and the smoke was overflowing. Even Ren Hao was a smoker, and his eyes were sour from the choking.

At this time, the uncle and the second uncle were sitting cross-legged on the bed and playing chess, and the uncle was moving a chair and sitting in the middle, watching the chess moves and giving pointers aloud.

"There should be a jumping horse here. What kind of car are you throwing? You have few sons, so you can't fight against each other."

Ren Hao walked in with a smile: "Uncle, you are a real gentleman watching chess without saying a word, what are you doing?" Ren Hao's voice immediately attracted the attention of the three people, and the uncle, uncle, and uncle looked over at the same time, When they saw Xia Wanqiu, the three of them were taken aback, Zhuo Qian blinked, smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Uh, what kind of eyes do you have..." Ren Hao coughed heavily, led Xia Wanqiu over, pointed at the three of them and said, "This is our uncle, this is our second uncle."

Xia Wanqiu bowed respectfully and said hello: "Uncle, Uncle, Uncle, Uncle."

Ren Hao hurriedly winked at Zhuo Qian.

Zhuo Qian also understood that at this moment he had to do his best to pull him up. He looked at Xia Wanqiu, "Lan Qiu is here? Sit down quickly, hehe, Xiaohao, I have to tell you about you, it's the first time your girlfriend Come to the door without saying hello to us in advance, if I knew we would have gone out to eat."

Ren Hao laughed, and pulled Xia Wanqiu to sit on the sofa together: "It's good to give her a stutter, what to do, uncle, second uncle, you haven't seen her yet, ha ha, this is Xia Wanqiu, My girlfriend." Seeing that uncle and uncle are still in a daze, Ren Hao pretended to be serious and said: "My family is nervous in Wanqiu, you two are not allowed to ignore her because she is older than me..."

The uncle looked at Zhuo Qian suspiciously, and smiled: "Xiao Hao, I just said you can do it, my son graduated from college and didn't find a partner, so let your younger brother take the lead." Xia Wanqiu's age, however, seeing that Zhuo Qian was fine, she put aside her doubts for the time being, it's his first time visiting, so she must give face.

The second uncle forced a smile and nodded, but didn't speak, and popped a cigarette out of the Hongtashan cigarette case.

"Second uncle, smoke mine." Before he could pick up the lighter, Ren Hao rushed over, took out a pack of special red panda from his pocket, opened it, and distributed it to his uncle, second uncle, and younger uncle. one.Zhuo Qian pretended to be surprised and said: "Yo drink, you still have some cigarettes in stock, bro, these are the cigarettes that the central government supplies to Beijing officials, and you can't even buy them. Come, let's try it."

Xia Wanqiu stepped on her high-heeled shoes and stooped over, leaned over and picked up the lighter on the bedside, protected the fire with one hand, and lit cigarettes for the uncle, second uncle, and younger uncle in turn. Ren Hao ordered one.

Ren Hao nodded secretly, took her hand and squeezed it as a reward.

It's worth the price!

Everyone took a few puffs of cigarettes, and the topic gradually turned to late summer and autumn.However, before a few people came to the bottom, the second aunt's rough voice came from the door: "Mice, why are you also learning to smoke, and you want me to complain to your mother, are you, yo, here is a guest? This is ..." Second Aunt followed behind Zhao Xueran, Zhuo Wei and Zhuo Min. When the three of them were playing cards, they heard an unfamiliar female voice, and they came to have a look curiously.

When Zhuo Wei saw Xia Wanqiu for the first time, his eyes straightened up in disappointment.Zhao Xueran was similar to him, and was immediately attracted by Xia Wanqiu's astonishment, that maturity mixed with majesty, really caught the eye.

Who is this?so pretty?

Zhuo Min hesitated for a moment, then Baba walked over: "Old Xia... oh no... that..."

Ren Hao gave her an annoyed look: "What is Xia Lao Xia, my girlfriend is so old-fashioned?"

"Ah, isn't it..." Zhuo Min blushed, and hurriedly waved her hands and ran to Xia Wanqiu, "Sister-in-law, are you here?"

Xia Wanqiu hummed lightly, and immediately, after Ren Hao's introduction, she turned her eyes to the newcomers: "Hello, Second Aunt, you guys." Even though Ren Hao introduced Zhuo Wei and Zhao Xueran, he said that they were my brother and my sister , but at Xia Wanqiu's age, she was naturally embarrassed to call it that, so she just vaguely replaced it with the three words "Hello".

girlfriend?

This woman who looks 30 years old is Xiao Hao's girlfriend?Doesn't he look a few years younger than my uncle?

Zhuo Wei and Zhao Xueran were shocked!

Everyone looked at Xia Wanqiu in astonishment, as if they were digesting this information, there was a sense of coldness in the atmosphere.

The second aunt looked at them, and suddenly said with a smile: "The real person doesn't show his face, it's okay, you mouse, hehe, I think it's good for a man and a woman. , it can be regarded as a sex for Xia Wanqiu, Ren Hao did not expect that the second aunt would support him so much, and for a while, he was a little moved.

Xia Wanqiu gently took Ren Hao's hand: "...he treats me very well."

Zhuo Qian took advantage of the situation to increase his strength: "Wan Qiu, your little aunt has spoken, if Xiao Hao bullies you, you can call her and sue her, and she will clean up this kid for you."

Zhuo Min also gathered around Xia Wanqiu, calling "Sister-in-law" one after another.

With the foreshadowing of the second aunt, Zhuo Qian and Zhuo Min, Xia Wanqiu also gradually integrated into this small circle, the second aunt took her to sit by the window and chatted, Zhuo Min and Zhao Xueran also walked over, the uncle and the second uncle smiled wryly , stopped playing chess, and listened to Xia Wanqiu's situation with pricked ears.

For a while, Xia Wanqiu became the protagonist.

A teacher at the High School Affiliated to Normal University? 29 years old?

Amazing news has been unearthed one by one.

Taking advantage of the chat, Zhuo Qian quietly said to Ren Hao: "Where is your mother?"

"They don't know who my girlfriend is yet."

Zhuo Qian patted him on the shoulder encouragingly: "Oh, work hard boy, I thought about it later, what's the matter with being older, it's up to you if you like it, hehe, dinner is about to start, wait for them to let Wanqiu go, you take Let her go to the kitchen and say hello to your parents, don't be rude, well, your little aunt is there too, she can help you talk."

"Okay, thank you uncle."

10 minutes passed.

Ren Hao explained to the second aunt and the others, and took Xia Wanqiu back to the living room. Looking at the noisy kitchen, Ren Hao couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Parents have to agree.Ren Hao took a deep breath, stood outside the kitchen door hand in hand with Xia Wanqiu, and pushed the door open.

Ren Xueyu was cutting eggplants on the chopping board, Zhuo Yuqin was carrying an iron pot and pouring vegetables into the plate, little aunt Xu Mei picked it up and walked out, at this time, Fang found Ren Hao and Xia Wanqiu, and was slightly taken aback, fixed in place.

Zhuo Yuqin and Ren Xueyu also focused their attention.

"Huh? You are?" Zhuo Yuqin took a look at Xia Wanqiu: "You look familiar, you, ah, remember, English teacher Xia, right? Why do you..." At this point, Zhuo Yuqin and Ren Xueyu Their faces sank, and a few words almost popped out between their teeth: "The girlfriend Xiaohao mentioned is you?"

Ren Hao poked Xia Wanqiu's waist.

Xia Wanqiu nodded thoughtfully, moved her lips, and looked up at the two of them: "Dad, Mom..."

As soon as the sound came out, Zhuo Yuqin's face was as ugly as it was. The old couple finally understood why Ren Hao hesitated to discuss the age of his daughter-in-law with them that night. It turned out that this little bastard actually Find an old girl, and she is also a teacher at his school!

Zhuo Yuqin's eyes were fixed, she gritted her teeth and panted, and almost picked up the iron pot and threw it out: "Ren Hao! Are you trying to piss me off!"

Ren Xueyu looked at his son solemnly: "Didn't you say that your friend is in his 20s? What's going on?"

Ren Hao groaned, and stroked his hair with a sneer: "29 years old is also considered to be in his 20s, hehe..."

Xu Mei almost laughed, rolled her eyes, and handed the dish in her hand to Ren Hao: "Go, take the dish out on the table." Ren Hao took it knowingly, winked at Xia Wanqiu, and motioned for her Adapting to the situation, he turned and retreated, returning to the living room.

Anyway, Xia Wanqiu is also her legitimate teacher, even if mom and dad don't agree, the teacher's face must be sold, at least, she won't be sent away.After Ren Hao went out, Xu Mei slammed the kitchen door shut, and a few female voices came from inside, but the voices were flat, as if there was no quarrel.

Ren Hao knew that it was not appropriate for him to go in, so he leaned against the wall and listened carefully, with his little aunt intervening, it seemed that Zhuo Yuqin would not explode.

In fact, Ren Hao didn't expect his mother and father to agree to bring Xia Wanqiu home this time, as long as he doesn't dislike the prospective daughter-in-law too much, it will be a success.As for the road, you have to walk step by step. There is no rush for this kind of thing.

Soon.

Zhuo Yuqin and Xu Mei walked out of the kitchen hand in hand, followed by Ren Xueyu, Xia Wanqiu was the last to come out, she lowered her head, her face expressionless, after she came out, Xia Wanqiu looked at Ren Hao and shook her head slightly.Zhuo Yuqin's face was dark, and there was a strong resentment between her brows. Ren Xueyu was similar to her, with a dark complexion.

Xu Mei smiled and said: "Xiaohao, in late autumn, the dishes are all ready, in the kitchen, you two go and serve them." Then, she shouted to several rooms: "Dinner is ready..."

Xia Wanqiu turned around and went to the kitchen, Ren Hao also hurried over, and when she passed by Xu Mei, the little aunt said in a low voice: "I see a play, don't worry, work harder when you get home."

Ren Hao was overjoyed, and after thanking him again and again, he and Xia Wanqiu served each dish one by one.During this period, grandma, grandpa and others also walked out of the room one after another.The living room is large, but the table is small. Every family gathering, two tables with exactly the same cuisine will be set up. The men make the big table and the women sit at the small table. This has become a common practice.

After all the dishes were served, Xia Wanqiu hesitated to take the seat that Xu Mei gave up for her. The little aunt on her left and Zhuo Yuqin on her right, Xia Wanqiu sneaked a look to the right, suddenly her whole body became a little stiff Feeling very uncomfortable.

With Xia Wanqiu's joining, everyone lost the lively atmosphere of the past, no matter the junior or the senior, they looked at her with curious eyes from time to time.

"Come on, come on, adults serve wine, children drink, let's toast the old man with a glass of wine first."

"Happy birthday grandpa."

"I wish grandpa a long life..."

After the clinking of wine glasses, everyone more or less took a big sip.Xu Mei knew that Xia Wanqiu could drink, and in today's atmosphere, she might not be able to drink, so she poured her a full glass of Jinliufu before the table opened.A small cup, just two ounces of wine.

"Eat vegetables, hey, I have to try to see if my sister's cooking has improved." Zhuo Qian looked at the small table next to him: "Late autumn, you are not welcome when you come home, you should eat and drink, Meizi, how about you?" I have to greet Wanqiu well..." Second Aunt and Xu Mei kept on picking up vegetables for Xia Wanqiu, showing great enthusiasm.Zhao Xueran and Zhuo Min also talked to Xia Wanqiu from time to time, and the relationship was very harmonious.

Only Zhuo Yuqin kept poking at that face from the moment the table was opened, without smiling or speaking.

Not to mention Ren Hao, grandma couldn't stand it anymore, and snorted heavily in her nose: "Lanqiu, we will be a family in the future, and we don't have to be afraid of anyone who makes you look bad, grandma takes care of her!" Poke the chopsticks on the table, not angry but mighty.

These words were undoubtedly aimed at Zhuo Yuqin!

Being taught a lesson in front of so many juniors made Zhuo Yuqin very embarrassed, and she stared angrily. In the end, she was forced to retreat by the fierce eyes of her grandma. She muttered something and could only stare bitterly. Son, take all your anger out on him.

Isn't your kid capable!See how I go back to clean up yours!

Grandma's words also confirmed Xia Wanqiu's identity in disguise.This is my granddaughter-in-law, whoever dares to show her face or gossip about her, then I will take care of him!

At home, grandma is very talkative, and no one dares to challenge her.

No, the second uncle and the uncle were whispering about Xia Wanqiu, but when they heard this, they immediately shut up.

What else can I do?

Let's eat!

The big tune was set, and no one said anything more, they ate, drank, chatted and made trouble.

Ren Hao secretly smiled, feeling relieved.Grandma really made the right move with this move!

During the dinner, Zhao Xueran, who was still relatively cheerful, always talked to Xia Wanqiu intentionally or unintentionally. She had a good impression of this beautiful mature woman, "Well, Xiaohao is my younger brother, right? Hehe, if you come in, What should I call you then?"

Zhuo Yuqin was annoyed when her mother slapped her face, and when she heard this, she rolled her eyes and said, "Don't talk while eating!"

Zhao Xueran stuck out her little tongue, lowered her head and picked up the rice.

Xia Wanqiu felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, she cast a help-seeking look at Ren Hao, she was extremely pitiful.

Ren Hao pondered for a while, looked at the wine glass in front of Xia Wanqiu, and gradually relaxed his brows.Afterwards, Ren Hao stood up holding the white wine, and pulled Xia Wanqiu to toast the elders together. The first person to respect was of course grandpa, "Grandpa, I was not sensible when I was young, and I caused you and my grandma a lot of trouble. On your birthday, I'll toast you with Wan Qiu, I can't hold alcohol, so let's finish our order..."

The old man smiled gratifiedly, without saying a word, picked up the teacup, touched Ren Hao and Xia Wanqiu, and drank it down.Ren Hao took a deep sip, trying to make sense, but Xia Wanqiu, like the old man, swallowed all the wine in the glass, making his brothers stare.

Bored?

That's baijiu, more than two taels!

When we arrived at grandma, the old lady took Xia Wanqiu's hand and nodded, raised the cup and looked at Ren Hao: "Okay, our Xiao Hao has grown up and is sensible, hehe, he is better than your mother, come on, grandma will accompany you Have a sip." While speaking, the old lady did not forget to scold Zhuo Yuqin with her hand.It seems that after a short time of contact, grandma is still very optimistic about Xia Wanqiu.

Next came the uncle and his wife, and the second uncle and his wife.
