Of course, I'm not in the mood to think about this at the moment. I have to deal with these relatives in her family.
Fortunately, none of them said they looked down on me, and everyone's eyes were gentle.
Especially Huang Li's father, he looks particularly cultivated and connotative.
This makes me feel that some people's status is destined, as if they are born with a kingly demeanor and are full of nobility in their actions.
When Huang Li introduced me to her father, he didn't look at me up and down like other people.
Instead, he looked at me intently and reached out to hold his hand.
And Huang Li's mother, like all mothers who care about their daughter's marriage, wanted to know everything about me right away.
It's just that there are guests at home, so I still have some concerns.
However, it can be seen that Huang Li's personality is like her mother's, more cheerful and outgoing.
Since I came to his house, her father only said a few polite words when shaking hands with me, and then said nothing more.
This makes it very difficult for me to deal with, and it gives people a feeling of being inaccessible.
But I still had the courage to sit among them. Huang Li’s mistress was a little embarrassed when she saw me alone, so she sat next to me and said to me: “Don’t be nervous, we are not bad people, this is the first time for Lily
We are all very happy when our boyfriend comes to the house."
I smiled and nodded, but I still didn't know what to say. There was really nothing to talk about.
This is the state of every man's first visit to his mother-in-law's house, just like the first time I went to Xiao Wei's house.
Her third wife asked me: "How old are you this year?"
"30."
"Where do you work?"
Her questioning voice was very friendly, so I relaxed a little and replied with a smile: "I now work at Jiangshan Technology."
"Jiangshan Technology, I know this company. It has been developing very well recently. What position do you hold in the company?" Mistress San opened the topic at once.
I didn’t know what to say, so I had to reply honestly: “I am the general manager.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the expression on the third lady's face changed, and even Huang Li's father looked over at me.
"That's great. You can serve as the general manager of Jiangshan Technology. You are still so young, so you are really young and promising!"
As the third mistress spoke, she looked at Huang Li's father and said, "Second brother, don't you think so? Xiao Chen is pretty good."
Huang Li's father neither nodded nor shook his head. The expression on his face was always so calm. No one could tell what he was thinking.
Next, we briefly chatted about some family matters, such as my family, and they really didn't dislike me at all because I came from a rural area.
Soon it was dinner time. There was a large table of delicious dishes, and every dish was full of the taste of home.
After sitting at the table, Huang Li's mother also started chatting with me enthusiastically, asking how Huang Li and I met?
I glanced at Huang Li, because she didn't tell me how to answer, and I was afraid that I would say something wrong.
Huang Li then answered: "Mom, I will report to you later on Chen Feng's situation. Can you let him eat first? Don't scare others."
After saying that, he held my arm very affectionately, leaned on my shoulder sweetly, and patted my back with his other hand.
My body suddenly became stiff and I didn't dare to move.
"Relax, my mother won't eat you." She smiled charmingly, "I'm here."
Her father glanced at us and said to her mother with a smile: "You first invite people to eat."
Huang Li's mother suddenly said to me: "Oh, come on, Xiao Chen, eat more of this, this is Lily's favorite food... and this..."
Their enthusiasm makes me a little embarrassed. I always thought that it would be difficult to integrate into such a family, but they are indeed very friendly.
Next, Huang Li's father talked to several people sitting around him about things that concerned them.
The topics cover a wide range of topics, including politics, current affairs, military affairs, resources, as well as their past experiences and stories.
I couldn't get a word in, but I really enjoyed listening to them talking about it. I felt like I could learn a lot of things over the course of a meal.
Until someone picked up a wine glass and clinked it with me. This person was wearing glasses. Huang Li had already introduced me to me before. He was her mother’s biological brother and her biological uncle.
"Come on, Xiao Chen, I'll have a drink with you alone."
I quickly picked up the wine glass with both hands, then stood up and clinked the glass with her.
But he said to me: "Don't be so polite, just sit down."
After drinking, he looked at Huang Li and asked: "Lily, I said hello to the network operator last time. Is there any result now?"
When I heard this, I was stunned.
What does this mean? Did Huang Li get the operating qualification after asking his uncle for help?
"Uh... the results are already there, thank you, uncle." Huang Li hesitated for a moment and said.
My mind was pounding all of a sudden, and I felt uncomfortable in my heart, as if there was a surge of waves that would not subside for a long time.
This fact is really surprising. I always thought it was Huang Li who persuaded Ma Yi to get the qualification. I just need to repay Huang Li.
Unexpectedly, she actually found connections with her family.
In my entire life, what I fear most is being in debt to others.
…
After dinner, the family chatted together for a while, and then Huang Li's parents sent those relatives away.
Huang Li and her mother were cleaning up in the kitchen, and then Huang Li's father had time to chat with me.
He sat next to me with a cup of tea, then took out a pack of cigarettes and asked me, "Do you smoke?"
I knew he wanted to open up the conversation with me, so I had no choice but to take the cigarette.
We all lit up cigarettes, and then he said to me calmly: "Lily has been very willful since she was a child. It's not easy to be her boyfriend, right?"
"Haha, it's okay." I replied calmly, not knowing why I felt so stressed.
"There were too many relatives and friends just now, and I never had time to chat with you. Don't be nervous, we can just chat casually."
I nodded, hesitated, and then said to him honestly: "Uncle, I...is actually not Huang Li's boyfriend."
I don't want to hide it any longer, because I feel like he has already figured it out, and it would put a lot of psychological pressure on me if I hide it from him.
However, after hearing what I said, he was not surprised at all. He kept a smile on his face and waited for me to say the next thing.
Sure enough, he had already seen through it.
"I'm sorry, uncle, because I made an agreement with Huang Li before, so I have to help her, but...after I met you, I realized that I shouldn't help her lie to you."
"Well, that's right. I like your honesty." He nodded, his expression very calm.
"Thank you for the hospitality you gave me today. In fact, I have been very nervous. On the one hand, I feel guilty and regretful for deceiving you, but I am also afraid of being exposed and scolded by Huang Li."
After saying these words, I finally felt at ease and not as stressed as before.
Huang Li's father smiled lightly again and said to me: "It's okay. We do hope that Lily will get married soon, but I also know Lily's character. I feel wronged by you."
"I'm fine, I'm just afraid of making you unhappy."
He smiled again, took a puff of cigarette, and said slowly: "But I think you are pretty good. If I can be with Lily, I won't have to worry about her so much. Have you considered having a relationship with her?"
