Seeing that the sun was almost setting and Zhiyuan hadn't come back yet, Bai Lu felt anxious and worried, "Will something happen to Zhiyuan?"
"Don't think blindly, what could happen?"
"I promised to come back soon. It's almost been an afternoon..."
Jinbao comforted him: "Mom, I think the eldest brother may have been left to talk to the eldest sister's parents. Nothing will happen. You don't have to worry."
Her father nodded immediately, "Jin Bao's words make sense."
Bai Lu thought about it and felt that what Jin Bao said was very likely. If she were Song Xiaomei's mother, she would definitely want to keep Zhiyuan and ask her to find out what his character is like before letting her daughter go.
Meet his parents.
When she was thinking this, she heard a series of footsteps coming from outside, followed by Zhiyuan's voice, "My house is right in front..."
"Ah! Big brother is back!" Su Xiaosi ran out of the room anxiously.
Everyone else was also nervous and curious at this time.
Bai Lu took a deep breath and thought about what to say to the Song girl.
You must smile more and have a good conversation with her, and you can't make her feel that you are not easy to get along with...
Seeing his daughter-in-law's nervous look, Su Jianmin felt like laughing, and whispered to her: "Don't be so nervous. Only my daughter-in-law is nervous when seeing her future mother-in-law. How can any mother-in-law be as panicked as you?"
Bai Lu pushed her husband and told him not to smile so playfully.
Su Jianmin was actually quite nervous, but not as nervous as his wife.
While the two were talking, the door was pushed open from the outside. What they didn't expect was that in addition to Zhiyuan and Song Xiaomei, Song Xiaomei's parents also came.
"Mom and Dad, I brought someone here," Su Zhiyuan introduced, "This is Xiaomei... these are Xiaomei's parents."
Su Jianmin was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and stepped forward to greet him, "Welcome, welcome..."
After saying that, he felt something was wrong. Why was he acting like a doorman welcoming guests?
Thinking like this, he added: "It's our first time meeting you. Hello, please come in. Come in... Zhiyuan only said before that he would bring Xiaomei to us for a look. I didn't expect you two to come too..."
Song Zhuangxian was wearing a straight taupe-brown tunic suit, and he behaved like a cadre.
"Director Su, you're welcome," he shook hands with Su Jianmin and said with a smile, "This is a life-long event for my precious daughter. As a father, no matter how incompetent I am, I still want to come and see you in person."
"Yes, yes, a father must think about his daughter. I understand, it should be..."
Shen Mei stepped forward at this time and handed a can of malted milk to Su Jianmin, "This is a little bit of our thoughts."
"What is this?" Su Jianmin was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss.
Before getting married, only the man’s family would give the woman things, such as rice, cakes, candies, fruits, etc. How could the woman come to give things to her? He had never heard of it in his whole life...
Moreover, this malted milk powder is extremely expensive. Such a small jar costs fifty yuan, which is two months' salary of an ordinary person. Most people cannot afford to drink it.
Bai Lu was also stunned at this time. Compared with the fifty-yuan malted milk, the five-yuan White Rabbit toffee she had asked Wennian to buy before was too embarrassed to hand out.
"This thing is too expensive, we can't accept it," Su Jianmin said hurriedly.
Shen Mei smiled and said: "I heard that Zhiyuan said that his little sister is only seven years old this year. I thought that this age is the time when nutrition is most needed. I don't know what to give. It just so happens that the jar of malted milk at home is from Xiaomei. My uncle gave it to me during the New Year.
Lao Song and I are already our age, why do we still need to eat this food? It’s such a waste, it’s just for Zhiyuan’s sister.”
After she finished speaking, her husband smiled and echoed: "Yes, this is our intention. Director Su, just accept it. Otherwise, we will be embarrassed if you push it back and forth like this."
Su Jianmin was embarrassed and embarrassed.
When he didn't know whether to accept it, his fourth son ran up to him and said, "Ah! Isn't this what is displayed in the window of the supply and marketing cooperative? There is a super big poster at the back. It is said that after soaking in water, it is better than milk. fragrant."
"Are you Zhiyuan's younger brother?" Shen Mei asked with a smile.
Su Xiaosi nodded, "Yes, I am the eldest brother's fourth brother. My name is Su Haojie."
After introducing himself, he asked: "Auntie, do you really want to give such an expensive thing to my sister to drink?"
"Yes, you can drink it if you want," Shen Mei smiled generously, "Drinking this is good for both boys and girls. Boys can grow taller and girls can become beautiful."
Su Xiaosi's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard that he would grow taller by drinking malted milk.
"Dad, just accept it. I want to grow taller. Not only me, Xiao Wu also wants to grow taller, and Jinbao." Su Xiaosi tugged on his father's sleeves, "Although Jinbao is already very beautiful, Yes, but drinking it will make you more beautiful, dad..."
Su Jianmin felt that Xiaosi was so embarrassed. He always said that he had grown up, but he was obviously still a little kid.
When he was struggling, Xiao Jinbao, who had been sitting quietly on the chair, jumped out of the chair.
She felt that it would be more embarrassing for her father to be in such a stalemate, so she might as well accept it calmly and give him a similar gift in the future, so she stepped forward and said sweetly: "Thank you, uncle and aunt, thank you, little sister."
Su Jianmin lowered his head and glanced at his daughter, thinking that even Jinbao felt that he should accept this gift, so he did not refuse, took the malted milk, thanked them profusely, and then asked them to sit down.
"Director Su, your daughter is really cute and charming..."
Hearing his future in-laws praise his daughter, Su Jianmin's embarrassed expression recovered a little, and he smiled and said, "Everyone said so."
After saying that, he immediately praised her: "Your girl is also pretty, she looks right like my Zhiyuan."
Shen Mei smiled and said: "These two children are very good and get along well with each other. The main thing is that they like each other. I am just a girl who has been doting on me since she was a child. As long as she likes it, we have no objection..."
While they were talking, Bai Lu walked into the kitchen and poured tea for everyone.
"Drink tea." Bai Lu handed over the water and hurriedly found some melon seeds and peanuts for them to eat. Then she said, "I think it's late today. How about having dinner at my house tonight? I'll go cook now." soon……"
Song Zhuangxian waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, we are here today mainly to talk about the marriage between your Zhiyuan and my Da Mei. They have been in love for three months. If they don't finalize the marriage, my Xiao Mei will definitely make people laugh. .”
"That's for sure. Since two people are in love, getting married is certain, then..." Su Jianmin asked, "Should we choose an auspicious day first or talk about the betrothal gift first..."
Shen Mei and her husband looked at each other and coughed slightly, "I think so, there is no need for a bride price. To be honest, our family is not short of money, but we are just a daughter like Xiaomei, so we have to Let her stay with us."
