On Sunday, Zhang Hua and Wang Dong walked home carrying gifts in large and small bags. The gatekeeper of the community is an old man. When he saw Zhang Hua leading a strange boy and holding a lot of gifts, he understood what was going on, and joked with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, bring your boyfriend to the door."
"Yes." Zhang Hua responded generously, feeling elated. She understands that the doorman is just a kind greeting, and she is also very happy to pass on her joy to the people around her. Thinking of her boyfriend's handsome appearance and good working conditions, her waist straightened a lot unconsciously.
Wang Dong was thinking all the way: What will we talk about after meeting? How to show respect for Zhang Hua's parents? How to make them like me? They will inevitably ask some questions, what kind of questions will they ask? How should I answer?
When Zhang Hua tactfully mentioned that his parents wanted to see him, he knew that this was an unavoidable thing in life, and he even hoped that this day would come sooner.
When people encounter something that must be faced, many people hope that this thing will happen quickly and know the result quickly, instead of guessing the unknown future with fear. The longer the time, the more uncomfortable it will be.
However, at the moment when he stepped into the community of the health care center, Wang Dong hesitated, really going to see Zhang Hua's parents? If they meet each other, it means making a promise to Zhang Hua and her parents. Can he keep this promise to Zhang Hua?
Zhang Hua stopped in his tracks and comforted him with empathy: "Why don't you leave, are you nervous? Don't be afraid, in fact, my parents are very easy to get along with."
Seeing that smiling face, Wang Dong couldn't say no to it, and then thought: How can I not, I will marry her, I will only have her as a woman, and I will treat her parents well.
The door was ajar, but Zhang Hua opened it with a slight push. Xie Yunfang and Zhang Weitao sat in the living room upright, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
Wang Dong put the gift by the door, bowed to the two old people, and greeted politely: "Hello, Uncle and Auntie"
Zhang Hua stood in the middle and introduced: "This is Wang Dong, and this is my parents."
Xie Yunfang smiled, "This kid, come whenever you come, and buy something, sit down, sit down quickly."
There was no special expression on Zhang Weitao's face, his eyes were fixed on Wang Dong, and he looked at Wang Dong with a father's gaze. In his eyes, there is no man who can match his perfect daughter. Although my wife said how good this boy was, in his eyes he was just an ordinary man who was inconspicuous and foolish.
Wang Dong sat on the sofa very nervously, in fact he only sat down half of his buttocks. After all, Zhang Weitao has been a police officer for many years, and when he is serious, he naturally exudes a kind of pressure without anger. This kind of pressure made him suddenly feel at a loss. He was so stiff that he had never felt more like a fool than at this moment. He felt that he had nothing to hide under those stern eyes, and he felt that all the secrets in his heart were exposed there. Under his eyes, he had an urge to escape.
"Dad, if you look at people like this, they won't be used to it." Zhang Hua was very upset to see his father looking at Wang Dong like a prisoner.
Although Zhang Weitao was dissatisfied, seeing his daughter defending Wang Dong so much now, he had no choice but to compromise, and took a teacup to drink water to cover the frost all over his face.
Xie Yunfang is the mother-in-law who looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the happier she becomes. This child is not only handsome, but also honest and polite, not at all arrogant and domineering like the children of rich and powerful families.
"How are you getting along?" Xie Yunfang asked with a smile.
Wang Dong tried his best to show a well-behaved appearance, carefully dealt with the old man's problems, and wanted to leave a good impression: "Very good, Huahua is a very nice girl."
"I will definitely take good care of Huahua, please don't worry, you two elders."
When Xie Yunfang heard what Wang Dong said, she happily closed her mouth from ear to ear: "Okay, we will be happy if you two get along well."
Although he was not very satisfied, after hearing Wang Dong's promise, Zhang Weitao reluctantly accepted his daughter as her boyfriend. The majestic aura was gone, and he became an ordinary old man again.
Knowing that he had passed the test of Zhang Hua's parents, Wang Dong secretly heaved a sigh of relief, with a respectful look on his face. Talking about many interesting stories and knowledge of the elderly, Xie Yunfang was coaxed into a happy smile, and even Zhang Weitao's tense face broke into a smile.
At noon, Wang Dong suggested to go out for dinner, Xie Yunfang kept shaking her head, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."
"Okay, Auntie, I'll help you." Wang Dong said.??Stand up.
"You sit, you sit," Xie Yunfang pressed Wang Dong on the sofa, "You are a guest." She walked into the kitchen with a smile. She proposed to eat at home to see if Wang Dong was a big spender and if he could adapt to the life of an ordinary family, but how could he really let him work, the young man's modest appearance made her very satisfied.
After Xie Yunfang left, the air in the living room was a little condensed, Zhang Weitao didn't speak, but drank his tea one after another.
Wang Dong was fidgeting. He was afraid of this serious old man for no reason, for fear that he might accidentally say something wrong. Compared to facing Zhang Hua's father, he would rather help Zhang Hua's mother wash the vegetables in the kitchen, but Zhang Hua's mother refused, so he couldn't take over, so he had to frequently look at Zhang Hua for help.
Zhang Hua looked at his father's face and didn't have any worries. He didn't understand why Wang Dong was so nervous. She thought about it and said to Wang Dong: "Can you play chess? My dad likes to play chess."
"A little bit, it's not a good game. If uncle doesn't mind, let's play the next game."
Nowadays, not many young people can play chess, and many traditional things are abandoned by young people one after another. Wang Dong's ability to play chess is beyond Zhang Weitao's expectation. Chess skills can reflect a person's moral character, but he wanted to see Wang Dong's depth, so he ordered his daughter to take out a box of wooden chess from under the TV cabinet.
The chess box is wrapped with layers of scotch tape, the thick cardboard is yellowish in color, and the joints on all four sides are covered with rough edges. It can be seen that it has been used for many years. Chess pieces are smooth and round in the hand, and the round edges are shiny and shiny, just like Wenwan walnuts can't achieve this effect without long-term hand sweat nourishment.
When Wang Dong saw the chess pieces, he knew that the old man in front of him was a veteran who had been immersed in chess for many years. He didn't dare to take a peek. .
? I don¡¯t know whether it was Zhang Weitao¡¯s intentional release or Wang Dongchao¡¯s regular performance, but the two were inseparable. Until Xie Yunfang invited everyone to dinner, the situation was still in a stalemate.
Zhang Weitao put down the chess pieces lightly, nodded with satisfaction, "I won't play anymore, let's go to eat, the young man played well."
Wang Dong replied politely: "Thanks to Uncle's mercy, otherwise I would have lost."
Xie Yunfang glanced at her husband, "This stinky chess player always thinks he is very good, but in the end he can't even play a young man."
Zhang Weitao didn't refute, and sat down with a smile, "I'm happy today, drink some wine."
Zhang Hua winked, and Wang Dong hurriedly took out a bottle of Moutai from the pile of gifts, and filled a small cup for everyone.
Zhang Weitao took a sip of the dish and said unhurriedly: "Huahua is a bit stubborn, you should be humble and love each other in the future."
"Yes, yes, I know." Wang Dong hastily agreed while toasting the old man.
Zhang Hua was dumbfounded. After just a short while, his father defected to Wang Dong? Look at my mother, she has long regarded Wang Dong as her son, and she keeps picking up vegetables for him, asking him to eat more, and then look at her bowl is full of white rice. She wasn't angry either, it was a good thing that Wang Dong was favored by his parents, so she started eating happily.
A table of ordinary home-cooked dishes was enjoyed happily. In the afternoon Zhang Hua said that he wanted to visit the store, and Wang Dong said he would go with her.
When going out, the two old people came to the door, Zhang Weitao stood aside with a smile, Xie Yunfang said with a smile: "Xiao Wang, come to play often in the future."
"My parents like you very much." Zhang Hua bounced downstairs, his brisk figure couldn't conceal the joy in his heart.
"That's good." Wang Dong looked at the smiling girl and wondered if he should find a chance for his parents to meet Zhang Hua. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
