Lin Ze struggled to spit in the toilet, then turned around and sat down on the toilet, breathing heavily. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, and took a deep breath to calm the turmoil in his body.
"With my drinking capacity, why can't I hold back after drinking so much?" Lin Ze shook his head seriously. "Maybe it's because I was too nervous to meet my parents this time, which caused my nerves to become tense, which is why this happened.
Situation—but, am I a nervous person?”
Lin Ze hurriedly rejected the latter speculation and admitted the vomiting phenomenon on the grounds that he was old and his drinking capacity was not as good as before.
Don't be kidding me, how could a man with such a strong self-esteem like Brother Xiaolin admit to being nervous?
After smoking a cigarette, he realized that he had just handed the pork, pig trotters, and pig tails to Xia's mother in an emergency. Because of their ugly appearance, it would be a big loss if Xia's mother threw them into the trash can.
This was a meeting gift that Lin Ze spent all his money to buy, and he brought it specially to add food. His efforts could not be in vain.
Throwing the cigarette butt into the toilet and flushing it away, Lin Ze poured a handful of cold water on his face, trying to keep himself clear-headed, and then Shi Shiran went out.
"Forehead--"
Lin Ze, who was standing at the door, looked a little stunned.
Because at this moment, Xia's mother, Xia Shuzhu, and Xia's father, who was wearing an apron and a little embarrassed, were all sitting in the living room. It looked like Lin Ze was a traitor who betrayed his country and was about to hold an earth-shattering denouncement meeting.
A chilling air spread from the living room, and Lin Ze couldn't help but shuddered. When he saw Xia Shuzhu winking at him, he hurriedly smiled and walked cautiously to the living room.
"Hello, uncle and aunt." Lin Ze tried his best to be shy. However, due to excessive drinking, his voice was inevitably too loud. His greeting did not reflect the slightest respect. It was more like a hooligan shouting.
"Come, sit and chat." Xia's father knew his old lady's character. Just when the young man rushed into the bathroom, she almost threw the bag of bloody unknown objects into the trash can. Thanks to his sharp eyesight, she snatched it away.
Come back.
When I opened it, I saw that it was very fresh pork. Based on Xia’s father’s years of experience in cooking, whether it was pork knuckles or pork, they were both delicious and delicious meat. Although the appearance was a bit ugly, it was the more delicate meat of the pig.
.
From this alone, Xia's father knew that this very slovenly-looking young man was at least an expert at cooking. It would be unthinkable for a layman to choose such good meat from a pork dealer.
Lin Ze hurriedly sat down. After thinking about it, he took out the Changbai bag and handed it to Father Xia respectfully.
His move immediately attracted Xia's mother's eyes. She kept forcing the old man to quit smoking at home. Now he has barely controlled his addiction to cigarettes. He only smokes one when socializing occasionally. Who would have thought that this young man would hand out cigarettes when he comes up? Look at his lightness.
He looks familiar with driving, I'm afraid he's still an old smoker.
Before the fire in Xia's mother's belly could catch up, Lin Ze took out a lighter again and lit a cigarette for the old man.
"——" Mother Xia gave the old man a vicious look, but considering that the old man also wanted to save face, she didn't say anything.
Lin Ze lit one for Xia's father, and he also became addicted to cigarettes. He lit one and puffed away happily.
"Xiao Lin, right?" Father Xia seemed not used to the spicy taste of Changbai Mountain. He took a puff and put it on the ashtray.
"Yes. Uncle, just tell me if you have anything." Lin Ze lowered his head slightly and said implicitly.
"How long have you known Xiaozhu?" Xia's father said with a smile, as if he didn't want to put too much pressure on Lin Ze.
"It's been a few months." Lin Ze said shyly.
"How many months have it been?" Xia's mother suddenly spoke and frowned. "Xiao Zhu said that you have known each other for a year or two."
"——" Lin Ze opened his mouth, but no words came out.
"Oh my god - how can you be so entangled in such boring issues and still be a high-level intellectual?" Xia Shuzhu said dissatisfied.
"Humph, am I confused? You lied about this, how can I trust you?" Xia's mother said very displeased.
"Actually -" Lin Ze said with a slight hesitation. "To say that we have known each other for a year or two. That was when Xiaoxia was interning in the UK, and the time we got together was indeed only a few months. I don't dare to lie.
you."
"Have you also been to the UK? Study or work - you are only three to five years older than Xiaozhu at most, so you should be studying, right?" Xia's mother softened her tone slightly after hearing that Lin Ze also stayed in the UK.
It's not that she is snobbish, it's mainly that Lin Ze gave her a bad first impression, like a gangster. But considering his age, since he has been to England, he must be a highly educated child. Therefore, the negative impression of him has improved slightly.
Some.
But her words made Lin Ze, who was taking a puff of cigarette, almost choke to death.
Three or five years older?
Hey, how could you tell that I'm three or five years older than your daughter? How old am I? Suddenly you were five or six years older?
But since she thought so, and Xia Shuzhu also mentioned that she was older than her, Lin Ze had no choice but to eat coptis and admit defeat. Just looking at the deep smile in Xia Shuzhu's beautiful eyes, Lin Ze wanted to slap her
On her perky butt——
"It's not studying, it's work." Lin Ze said euphemistically.
"Oh? What is your job?" It was also the first time for Xia's mother to meet the boyfriend her daughter brought home, and she was very lacking in knowledge in this area. At least a knowledgeable and educated person like her should not ask so directly. Use euphemism.
Some, or it would be much better to ask your daughter.
"Pork seller." Lin Ze said seriously.
"Puchchi——"
Before Xia's parents could react, Xia Shuzhu couldn't help but laugh. Especially when she saw Lin Ze's upright and serious look, and then combined with his usual free and uninhibited style, Xia Shuzhu finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Damn girl, no matter how big or small." Xia's mother rolled her eyes at her daughter and asked calmly. "The pork seller is going to the UK on a business trip? Is your company very big?"
"In general, the company's net profit last year was less than one billion." Lin Ze said in an understatement.
Xia Shuzhu, however, twitched the corners of his slightly raised mouth and tried hard to restrain the urge to laugh. How could this guy brag so unscrupulously? He was a little too courageous, right?
Originally, she knew from what she heard and heard that meeting parents was an awkward and reserved scene, and she broke into a cold sweat for Lin Ze. But who would have thought that this guy was just bragging like drinking water?
There is no blush at all, my face is as shameless as a city wall.
"Then your position is-"
"Manager of the Purchasing Department." Lin Ze got better and better, and his boast became more and more professional.
"Then your income——"
"Okay, okay. Why are you asking these questions?" Xia's father saw that the old woman's questions were getting more and more private and her skills were getting worse. He waved his hand and said with a smile. "Xiao Lin, come on if you want."
What gifts do you want to bring? We just invite you to chat and have a casual meal."
"I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me." Lin Ze said extremely seriously. "How about I cook and prepare the dishes later, and my uncle and aunt chat with Xiao Xia?"
"How can that be done? You are a guest. How can you cook? It's against the rules. It's against the rules." Xia's father hurriedly got up and tried to push Lin Ze down.
"It's okay, I often cook for Xiaoxia, right?" Lin Ze said with a smile.
"That's right, Dad, just let him go. What he cooks is delicious." Xia Shuzhu cooperated with Lin Ze and gave him a chance to show off. Although he knew clearly that this guy was telling lies, he still felt like he was telling lies.
It's as sweet as honey.
When Lin Ze entered the kitchen, Xia's mother immediately asked Xia Shuzhu: "Is he really working in a pork company?"
"Well, what's wrong?" Xia Shuzhu said with twinkling eyes.
"It doesn't look like him, he has thin arms and legs." Mother Xia paused and then said, "Is he usually drunk? He knew he was coming to see us today, so why was he still drunk?"
"Maybe he was forced to drink when he went to meet a client, right? He rarely drinks. He goes to bed early every night and wakes up early every night. He also insists on exercising. Even though he looks thin, he is quite strong."
Xia Shuzhu felt that she had been led astray by Lin Ze.
How come you lie without thinking about it?
"No, I still don't believe what you said." Mother Xia said uneasily. "Didn't you say that his English is very good? And he just said that he met you in England, so his spoken English is different from yours.
It’s the same, right? Go speak English to him now. If I find out that you lied to me again, I will sever the relationship between mother and daughter!"
I don't know whether it was preconceived notions or Lin Ze's appearance of bitterness and hatred that made Xia's mother very uneasy. She always felt that Lin Ze was not suitable for her precious daughter.
In her eyes, the future son-in-law should be gentle, fair and clean, wear a pair of glasses, speak modestly and politely, and speak well. He should not smoke, drink, swear, or fight.
There was absolutely no overlap between the young man in front of him and the future son-in-law that Xia's mother had in mind. The disappointment in her heart was self-evident, which was why she came up with such a radical idea.
"Okay, okay, I really can't do anything to you." Xia Shuzhu agreed with confidence.
Spoken language? Lin Ze is by no means worse than myself. It is really not difficult to test Lin Ze on this point.
She came to the kitchen, and Xia's mother also secretly came to the door. Xia Shuzhu joked in pure English: "Sir, you lost your wallet."
"Don't worry about it, get me a bottle of wine." Lin Ze was wearing an apron, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and was concentrating on making pig's feet. He didn't hear what Xia Shuzhu said clearly, but subconsciously asked her to get a bottle of cooking wine in pure royal colloquialism.
But as soon as he said these words, Xia Shuzhu's originally smiling face immediately stiffened. There was strong shock and surprise in her beautiful eyes, as if she had been electrocuted and unable to move.
"Don't worry about it and get me a bottle of wine."
How could Xia Shuzhu forget these words, this magnetic and slightly intoxicating voice?
Back then, she was molested by some scoundrels in a bar in the UK, and then a young Asian boy rescued her. The only dialogue between the two of them was this, wasn't it?
"Don't worry about it and get me a bottle of wine."
Under the dim lights of the bar, the young man, who smelled of alcohol and had a haggard face, said these extremely self-destructive words after beating up those tall and powerful second-rate men.
At this moment, Lin Ze also said this sentence. The scene was different, her questions were different, but the voice, the tone, and even the downcast and vicissitudes of life, all overlapped completely in Xia Shuzhu's mind, without any gaps -
