"Maybe it will have to wait until the end of this year."
I hesitated for a long time.
Li Xianghe gave an accurate letter.
No matter what, we have to face reality.
From the beginning, she and Su Yuhang fell in love with the intention of getting married.
It is both the first love and the last love.
Now that the relationship is confirmed, meeting the mother-in-law is also a hurdle that must be overcome.
"At the end of the year...are you planning to go home with Brother Yuhang to celebrate the New Year?" Jiang Shanjiu asked. It's normal to follow your boyfriend home to celebrate the New Year. Doesn't the coach just come to visit with gifts?
"That's the plan." Li Xianghe nodded, "I've prepared gifts and everything, and I'm just waiting to meet my mother-in-law and father-in-law."
"Mother-in-law and father-in-law" are the pronouns.
In the past, Li Xianghe only dared to joke about it in private.
Now he has become so familiar and blatant that he is quite arrogant like "I am the default son-in-law".
"Gifts must be prepared." Jin Zhenxun chatted.
She is someone who has experienced it, and she has the best say on this topic.
"And the gift has to be suitable for the person you want it to be." Kim Jung-hoon said, "Give the other person whatever he likes. If you really don't know, you can definitely give some Seoul specialties."
At that time, she knew that her mother-in-law liked to drink.
He came to the door with a box of good wine.
Then the two of them had drinks and food.
Come to a life-or-death drinking party where you will never get drunk or come back.
With Jin Zhenxun's deliberate humility, his mother-in-law naturally came out on top in the end.
After that drinking party, the relationship between the two changed from "not liking each other" at the beginning to "the mother-in-law liked her son-in-law more and more the more she looked at her".
"I heard from Yuhang that my father-in-law seems to prefer drinking tea." She discovered this preference accidentally. Su Yuhang enthusiastically gave her the tea roasted by his father, and then mentioned his father's hobby of drinking tea.
Li Xianghe secretly wrote down this key information.
Then I took advantage of my free time to travel to Busan District.
I bought a box of expensive tea at a local art museum. At that time, Pei Junzhi, who was very knowledgeable, asked me if I was going to give such expensive tea to the coach to taste?
That is to say, coach Kim Jung-hoon was not present.
Otherwise, Li Xianghe would not have the guts to shake his head and deny it.
Didn't you buy it for the coach? Pei Junzhi immediately realized that the only person who could make his captain care so much was that the coach was his father-in-law whom he had never met before.
"Isn't this the same as me?" Jin Zhenxun suddenly became energetic. "I used to like drinking when I was young, but now I like to hold a thermos cup when I am older."
"Not only tasting tea, but also frying tea yourself." Li Xianghe added.
"Yes, yes." Jin Zhenxun nodded, "unique jasmine honey tea. If you put it that way...does Yuhang still have jasmine tea?"
I’ve been drinking too much ginseng tea recently.
As a result, Jin Zhenxun himself wanted to change his taste.
I'm tired of drinking the slightly lighter barley tea.
There was not even any dregs left of the jasmine tea I had received from Li Xianghe before.
"Yes, yes, but we have to wait until we go back." Su Yuhang said.
The topic of tea came up.
Jin Zhenxun then asked Li Xiangha if the gift was ready? When will he come to visit? How will he introduce himself to his mother-in-law and father-in-law?
A series of questions directly caused Li Xianghe to put on a mask of pain.
No wonder the coach always complains that ‘meeting your mother-in-law and father-in-law is like going through hell’.
These questions come one after another.
It hits the face like a violent storm.
Without prior preparation, I wouldn’t know how to answer, especially the coach Kim Jung-hoon’s question, ‘How are you going to introduce yourself?’
She was about to blurt out the words 'professional player'.
Then I thought about it.
Isn’t it a little inappropriate to introduce yourself this way?
The elders will subconsciously think that "professional players" are typical representatives of those who lose their ambition by playing with things. They are originally there to leave a good impression on their mother-in-law and father-in-law, and they have to polish their careers a little no matter what.
"I also had a headache when you were the coach." Jin Zhenxun said, "People asked me what kind of job I did. I hesitated for a long time before saying that I was a coach."
"At that time, I thought I was the coach of some football team."
"You even asked me enthusiastically, which team did you lead? What kind of results did you achieve?"
"Later I found out that I was leading a League of Legends team, and my mother-in-law's expression suddenly became awkward."
Jin Zhenxun took a sip of orange juice.
This is a complimentary drink that comes with breakfast.
"So introducing yourself is the key to leaving a good impression."
For the heartfelt words from the coach.
Li Xianghe nodded in agreement. "Then how did the coach get Auntie to accept you?"
Judging from Kim Jung-hoon's expression afterwards.
She gets along pretty well with her mother-in-law and father-in-law.
"It's not because of your coaching that I can drink so much." Jin Zhenxun said with a proud expression.
She had already calculated at that time that she would have to drink with her, but she could not embarrass her mother-in-law, and she could not let her feel that she had let herself off intentionally or unintentionally.
While drinking, he said that he couldn't do it.
Then losing a little bit is the wisest choice.
Relying on his intelligence, Kim Jung-hoon successfully transformed from his girlfriend status into a son-in-law that his mother-in-law likes.
"Is it possible that I still have to accompany you to drink together?" Li Xianghe was stunned. She has a good drinking capacity, but since she got together with Su Yuhang, daily matters such as drinking have completely said goodbye to her.
Even going out for dinner with my teammates.
Also substitute orange juice.
I only had one drink last night.
I did something wrong when I went back to my room at night.
Of course, this has something to do with the catalysis of alcohol, and more importantly, I didn't control it.
"It depends on the situation." Jin Zhenxun said, "Some elders don't like drinking, and some are addicted to alcohol. In short, you have to adapt to the situation. Whatever your mother-in-law and father-in-law like, you can just stay with them."
"It sounds like...it always feels like taking a test, and it's also a driver's license test." Li Xianghe muttered.
I took the driving test when I first took it.
She failed subject two several times.
Especially the one about reversing the car into the garage.
The problem occurs in the same place several times in a row.
The coach was also a League of Legends enthusiast, and he complained to her at the time, saying, 'You, a professional player, react very quickly when playing games, why can't you turn around in the exam?'
Although it was difficult to pass the test in the end.
But after that, Li Xianghe would compare particularly difficult things to a driving test.
"Meeting your mother-in-law and father-in-law is a disguised exam." Jin Zhenxun nodded, "Only if you pass the exam will you be eligible to receive the blessings of your elders. If you don't pass..."
In order not to damage the self-confidence of my children.
Jin Zhenxun stopped talking about the next words.
"It should be passable." Jin Zhenxun said, "Su Yuhang is by the side, and he will definitely help."
Her boyfriend at the time was like this too.
Be there to help through various small gestures and looks.
Before going to the house, I also went through various knowledge supplements. For example, what gifts to buy, what honorifics to say when entering the house, whether I need to help my father-in-law make dinner, etc.
Thanks to such a mole who knew the situation.
Otherwise, you will go to the exam with all your eyes darkened.
