After staying in Jianglan for two nights, the old lady insisted on going home. Just like many elderly people who are used to living in the countryside, she felt uncomfortable in the city. It was okay to take a look around for the sake of novelty, but she would feel bored after staying there for a while.
If I didn't have any old friends of the same age with whom I could talk, I would feel bored all day long.
The attempt to retain her was fruitless, and there was no choice but to send the old lady back.
When I was helping the old lady into the hall, I saw a middle-aged woman in flowery clothes coming out. She had sharp eyes, high cheekbones, and thin lips. She looked like the type that was not to be messed with.
Peng Xiu'e, Liu Guida's lover.
"Mom, you're back. Why don't you stay in the city for a few more days?"
Although she was smiling, Peng Xiu'e gave people a feeling that she was doing it deliberately and was a little uncomfortable.
In fact, Qin Shiqing's aunt was not a gentle and virtuous woman. She was famous in the whole village for her harshness, sarcasm and pettiness. She didn't treat the old lady very well and was a complete wicked daughter-in-law.
Only Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing were present, and he was just putting on an act in front of the two of them.
But it was no use for her to hide it. Since Su Zelin was a child, he had already seen Peng Xiu'e's true face. Naturally, this woman did not need to pretend in front of children.
The gangster even saw Peng Xiu'e scolding the old lady because she was unhappy. She usually called her "old lady forever" all the time, so the word "Mom" sounded unnatural.
As she spoke, her eyes fell on the emerald green bracelet on Qin Shiqing's fair wrist, and her brows suddenly frowned.
Isn’t this the old lady’s bracelet? Why was it given to Shiqing
This jade bracelet is an antique. It was the old lady’s dowry and is worth at least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.
She actually sent the little girl away without saying a word and without even discussing it with me.
Peng Xiu'e felt that her authority at home was challenged and was very unhappy, and her smile became a little stiff.
If her son Liu Caizhi wasn't the manager of someone else's digital store, she would have lost her temper and scolded him on the spot.
He took a deep breath and finally endured it, thinking that he would find the old lady and question her after the two men left.
Su Zelin saw all of this, but remained calm.
"Shiqing, you go back to the room with grandma to rest first. I want to chat with auntie for a while!"
"Oh, all right!"
Qin Shiqing didn't doubt him: "Grandma, let's go!"
After watching the old man and the girl disappear into the inner hall, Su Zelin spoke again: "Aunt, Brother Caizhi is a talented person. He is doing very well in the digital store!"
Hearing Su Zelin praising her son, Peng Xiu'e's mood instantly improved: "Haha, I'm not bragging. Caizhi has been smart since he was a child. I knew he would do great things. Of course, I have to thank you, Xiao Linzi, for your insightful eyesight, otherwise Caizhi wouldn't have such a good opportunity!"
Su Zelin smiled slightly: "Brother Caizhi is good at everything, but unfortunately his education level is a bit low. The competition in the world is very fierce now. Many units and large companies only want college graduates. Even college graduates from inferior institutions may not be able to find a good job!"
Peng Xiu'e was a little stunned.
Why did Xiao Linzi's style change so quickly
He was just praising her intelligence, but suddenly his tone became wrong.
"There are many talented people in the digital store. Manager Luo is actually not bad. He is a college graduate and has previous work experience as a supervisor in a supermarket. At the beginning, I was quite confused about who would be the manager and who would be the store manager between him and Brother Caizhi!"
Su Zelin sighed: "But in the end, considering that I am so familiar with Brother Caizhi, I still think he is more suitable!"
"Yes, yes, we are all family members, so of course we can trust us more than outsiders!"
Peng Xiu'e agreed repeatedly and was not afraid to establish a relationship with Su Zelin.
Su Zelin remembered something again: "By the way, Auntie, my dad said that Brother Caizhi's salary plus commission last month was more than 7,000 yuan. Did he mention it to you?"
"More than seven thousand?"
Peng Xiu'e was slightly stunned.
Liu Caizhi told her it was five thousand.
That brat even dared to lie to his mother, as if he was afraid that I would ask him for money!
"It's not easy to find a job with such good pay. I don't know how many people are envious of it." Su Zelin said with a smile: "With two or three months' salary, it shouldn't be a problem to buy a jade bracelet like my grandma's!"
Only then did Peng Xiu'e realize that Su Zelin had been beating around the bush for so long just to settle the score with her.
This kid is very clever and probably could see that I was unhappy.
"That's, that's..."
Peng Xiu'e was a little embarrassed and could only nod her head.
"I know Brother Caizhi so well. I really hope he can continue to be the manager of the digital store."
Su Zelin said something meaningful, which made Peng Xiu'e frightened.
She knew that Su Zelin was a person who had a say in both the Su and Qin families, and could even make the final decision on important matters.
With just one word from him, the two families made an exception and gave their sons important positions.
Similarly, with just one word from him, his own son might have to leave.
"Little...Zerlin, you have to take care of our Caizhi!"
Peng Xiu'e's smile became a little flattering, and she didn't dare to call him Xiao Linzi anymore.
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Su Zelin's lips.
Although this evil woman is vicious and unreasonable, she also has a weak spot, which is her son Liu Caizhi.
As long as you grasp this point, you can do whatever you want.
If I don't talk to her and put some pressure on her, the old lady will definitely be scolded for giving the bracelet to Qin Shiqing.
Without responding to her words, the bastard changed the subject and said, "Grandma has always taken good care of me. I respect her very much, but every time I see her, she is thinner than before and not as strong as before. I don't know if it's because of her poor appetite or maybe... other reasons!"
Having said that, Su Zelin's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared at Peng Xiu'e intentionally or unintentionally.
In his previous life, he was the president of a large group and had the aura of a superior.
The guilty Peng Xiu'e didn't even dare to look directly at him after she let out her arrogance.
She was not kind to the old lady. Not only did she scold her often, she was also unwilling to give her any delicious food.
"If grandma is in good health, Brother Caizhi should be able to work more at ease, and make further progress. His position as a manager will be secure, don't you think so, auntie?"
Su Zelin smiled slightly and asked.
Peng Xiu'e felt a chill in her heart.
The other party forced two completely unrelated things together.
Obviously, this was intentional.
Whether my son’s position as a manager is stable or not depends on his performance.
If he treats the old lady badly and angers her, his son might be demoted, and it is not impossible that the store manager and manager might be replaced.
She didn't dare to doubt Su Zelin's words.
Qin Shiqing's childhood playmate was a man of his word even when he was a child.
As a child, Liu Caizhi was also the leader of the children in the village and liked to bully his cousin. Later, Su Zelin declared in public that if Liu Caizhi dared to do that again, he would beat him severely.
Liu Caizhi refused to accept and insisted on having his own way, and ended up getting beaten up.
Although Su Zelin was a few years younger than him, he was very fierce in fighting, as if he was risking his life, and his strength was surprisingly great.
After that fight, Liu Caizhi gave up the throne of the child king and submitted to Su Zelin. Perhaps out of respect for the strong, the two sides got along better.
Peng Xiu'e was naturally extremely unhappy when she saw her son being beaten, and she even scolded Su Zelin. However, she did not expect that this wild boy whom she once disliked would grow up to be so promising and become a benefactor to her son. That's why her attitude towards him changed drastically.
Just as Su Zelin knew that she was an evil woman, Peng Xiu'e also understood that Hunzi was a ruthless person and was not to be trifled with.
She dare not joke about her future.
Now everyone in the village envies Liu Caizhi for being a store manager. He earns several thousand yuan a month, which is not a small number in those days, especially in the village. He is the most handsome guy in the village.
Because her son became the store manager, she and her husband felt proud and they walked with straighter backs.
If he was demoted and knew it was because he offended Su Zelin, he would hate his mother to death.
At this time, Qin Shiqing walked out from the inner hall. The old lady was afraid that Su Zelin would wait outside for too long, so she didn't let her granddaughter stay any longer.
The two of them said goodbye and left.
Su Zelin stopped there and didn't make it clear directly.
Peng Xiu'e is not a fool, she must be able to understand the hidden meaning of her own words.
In fact, he would not vent his anger on Liu Caizhi because of this evil woman. Peng Xiu'e was Peng Xiu'e and Liu Caizhi was Liu Caizhi. Because of his friendship with Qin Shiqing's cousin in the previous life and the fact that he informed him on the day of the old lady's death, his position as store manager would be very secure.
But he believed that Peng Xiu'e would be scared, because this woman didn't dare to gamble on this matter, she couldn't afford to lose!
This can also be seen from the other party's attitude.
Peng Xiu'e kept smiling and watched the two people get into the car and drive away.
"Xiao Linzi, what did you talk about?"
Qin Shiqing's anger came and went quickly. She had almost forgotten the unpleasantness that happened on her birthday party. Her relationship with Su Zelin returned to normal and she started talking more.
She was quite curious. The bad-tempered aunt had just treated her childhood sweetheart in an unusually humble manner. She even changed her way of addressing him. She used to call him Xiao Linzi.
My aunt is grateful to Zelin for my cousin's matter, but she is not so humble.
"Nothing, just chatting about your cousin's performance in the digital store."
Su Zelin looked at the dirt road ahead and said without turning his head.
After this conversation, one can't expect Peng Xiu'e to become a virtuous daughter-in-law, but at least she will be nicer to the old lady and make her suffer less.
He didn't dare to say whether doing so could delay the old lady's birthday, but it would be good if the old lady could enjoy her later years more comfortably.
Is that all
The girl was a little suspicious, but she didn't ask any further questions as she had other concerns.
"My aunt just saw the bracelet on my hand. She must know it's my grandma's."
Qin Shiqing's brows were tightly knitted together.
She knew very well what kind of person Peng Xiu'e was, and was afraid that the old lady would be upset because of this.
"No, I promise!"
The gangster narrowed his eyes.
He didn't give any reason, but Qin Shiqing believed it for some reason.
The girl nodded slightly: "I hope so!"
"Shiqing, let's visit grandma more often in the future!"
Su Zelin said seriously.
"Well, let's come together when we have time!"
Qin Shiqing smiled.
This bad guy can be pretty good sometimes.
What grandma said is really right.
Xiao Linzi is both a bad boy and a good boy.
On the way back to the city, the two chatted and laughed easily until Su Zelin's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Lu Haoran calling.
He turned down the volume of the car CD, pressed the answer button, and clamped the phone to his neck: "Hey, Mouse!"
"Zelin, are you outside?"
Lu Haoran asked on the other end of the phone.
"In the car, I just sent Qin Shiqing's grandmother back to the countryside with her. Ouch..."
As soon as Su Zelin finished speaking, he was pinched at the softest part.
The girl's eyebrows raised, she really didn't like the six words "Qin Shiqing that woman".
I just praised this guy for being nice sometimes, but he immediately switched to being a nasty guy.
"Oh, I see. Is it convenient for you to talk? Or should I call you later?"
"No, no, just tell me now, it's okay."
"Okay, actually, it's like this. I'm going to Xiaoyanzi's house the day after tomorrow. It's Shiqing's birthday, and Xiaoyanzi invited me to go. I've already told her parents about this today!"
There was an excitement and joy that could not be concealed in Lu Haoran's tone, but also a hint of nervousness, but it was not very obvious. The training of several years in college had taken effect.
Haha, I knew that the two of them were whispering about this that day.
"Oh, it's time to meet the parents. You can do it, young man. You have a bright future!"
Su Zelin was also happy for his good friend.
It seems that his lifelong matchmaking has not been in vain, and it seems that the two of them have a good chance of getting married.
"But I'm a little worried that I won't perform well!"
The honest man said again.
Unless it's a social elite like Su Zelin, other boys' parents should have the same mentality when they meet their girlfriends for the first time.
"Why are you afraid? They are not tigers and will not eat people. Just treat them as ordinary elders in the family!"
The gangster comforted him.
He had seen Xiaoyanzi's parents in his previous life. They were not a arrogant couple who looked down on others. They were quite kind and amiable. An honest man's worries were completely unnecessary.
"That's true, but I want to perform better and leave a good impression on Xiaoyanzi's parents. Zelin, can you teach me?"
Although Lu Haoran has grown a lot, he dared not be negligent when faced with such a major event, and finally couldn't help but ask for help from his own technical instructor.
"Mouse, look at what you said, it's as if I often meet with girls' parents and I have a lot of experience, oh..."
Su Zelin couldn't help but complain.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shiqing pinched him again.
The bastard was puzzled.
He pinches people at every turn.
How did I offend her
"Uh, Zelin, that's not what I meant. It's just that you are very good at socializing. Even if it's your first time doing this, I think you can definitely do it better than me. So, can you put yourself in my shoes and think about what you would do, and then teach me!"
In the eyes of honest people, a scoundrel is a super social expert, with very high emotional intelligence and very good at talking. Even if he has never met the girl's parents, he is not on the same level as themselves.
"Is that so? Okay then. How about this? It's hard to talk on the phone. Are you free later? How about coming to my house?"
He had to pay more attention to the important events in his best friend's life, so Su Zelin planned to teach him personally and answer his questions.
"Yes, yes, anytime!"
The honest man kept nodding.
"Well, I'll be home in about 20 minutes, so just come over when you think the time is right."
"I know. See you later!"
When I drove back to Liuzhi Lane, Lu Haoran was already waiting at the door of the gangster's house.
The honest man set off immediately after hanging up the phone. If you ride a bicycle, his home is only about ten minutes away from Liuzhi Lane.
After getting off the car, the two sides greeted each other. Su Zelin walked into the house with his best friend and found that his childhood sweetheart was also following them.
"Qin Shiqing, are you a follower? Why are you here? This is between me and Haozi. What does it have to do with you?"
The gangster stopped and frowned.
"Haozi is my friend, Xiaoyanzi is my bestie, I also hope they can succeed, why does it have nothing to do with me?"
The girl was confident.
She also wanted to watch the fun and see how Su Zelin taught an honest man to meet his parents.
"If you act like a light bulb in my house, it will distract the mouse!"
Su Zelin snorted.
I'll be the light bulb between you and Lu Haoran...
This sounds weird.
Qin Shiqing was a little speechless.
"It's okay. Shiqing cares about me. Come if you want."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the honest man quickly took the initiative to smooth things over.
Being so familiar with Qin Shiqing, he didn't feel restrained by her presence.
"See, even the mice have no objections, but you are the only one who has too much trouble!"
Qin Shiqing pursed her lips.
Su Zelin had nothing to say and could only let his follower go upstairs with him.
Su Jianjun and Zhao Lixia were not at home. Dad went to the digital store, and Mom went to the alley to buy a tractor early in the morning. According to usual practice, she should not be back until dinner time.
The three parties sat down in the living room. While Su Zelin was boiling water to make tea, he looked Lu Haoran up and down. After a while, he said, "Haozi, as the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. The first thing you need to do before meeting the parents is to change your image!"
"Change your image?"
Lu Haoran was slightly stunned.
"Yes, it's the year 3002 and your hairstyle is still from the 1990s. You need to change it!"
Su Zelin patiently gave guidance.
It’s not like the honest man hasn’t changed his hairstyle.
I used to have the most old-fashioned bowl cut, and after entering university I had a chestnut haircut, which is actually a short version of the bowl cut.
In fact, in Su Zelin's opinion, neither of these two hairstyles is suitable for Lu Haoran.
Whether it is a bowl cut or a chestnut cut, both are cute and adorable types. The key to mastering the chestnut cut is to have a small face and three-dimensional facial features, and a high appearance value, otherwise it will expose the defects of delicate facial features.
Lu Haoran’s appearance is not good enough, and he is honest enough. These two hairstyles make him look even more silly.
It would be fine if Su Zelin had a chestnut haircut, as he has an unparalleled handsome face. He has had this hairstyle before, and it can slightly neutralize his bad boy vibe, and he still looks pleasing to the eye.
"So what hairstyle should I get?"
Lu Haoran asked hurriedly.
"There aren't many hairstyles that are suitable for your face shape and facial features."
Su Zelin was a little embarrassed.
Lu Haoran was ashamed. He knew that he was not good-looking and his face shape was not good either. No matter how the barber cut his hair, it was always lacking in effect.
"How about this, I'll give you a haircut myself!"
The gangster pondered for a moment and said so.
The technology in hair salons at that time was not as advanced as that of later generations, and there were fewer hairstyles to choose from. Most of them only cut hair according to the hairstyles of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars. There were many celebrity posters and magazines in the hair salons, and customers would point and choose by themselves when they went in, for example, I want this or that haircut. Not even a few Tony hairdressers understood the principle of cutting hair according to each person's head shape, face shape, and temperament.
Hunzi is different, he has a high fashion taste, and a good hairstyle is indispensable for a fashion expert. Hunzi can cut almost all hairstyles. If there are enough surround mirrors and props, he can sometimes cut his own hair, and his haircut is not inferior to the famous teacher Tony.
Of course, the gangsters are very confident, but others may not be.
"You, you come and cut it?"
Lu Haoran was surprised.
It’s true that my best friend has many talents, but I’ve never heard that he can cut hair.
It would be fine if he did this on a normal day, but he has to meet Xiaoyanzi's parents the day after tomorrow, so he can't have his hair done.
"Hey, can you please do this? Don't do anything rash now and treat other people's mice as guinea pigs!"
Qin Shiqing had never heard that her childhood sweetheart would cut her hair.
Su Zelin didn't say much to the two of them.
"In short, you have to change your hairstyle! Haozi, I'll give you two choices. First, I'll recommend you a hair salon. Your image may improve, but it won't change much. Second, I'll do it myself. No surprise that the effect will be better than at a hair salon!"
Lu Haoran was in a dilemma.
The hair salon might be more stable, but he has been there so many times and it's still the same.
If I cut my hair for my good friend, I would become a guinea pig again.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zelin, come on!"
The honest man finally believed the gangster because he felt his gay friend would not harm him.
Moreover, his best friend's hairstyle is very good. He thinks Su Zelin has good aesthetic taste and may be able to cut it better than Tony.
"Haha, that's more like it!"
Su Zelin ran into the room and took out a set of hair-cutting props.
It was difficult for him to cut his own hair due to the lack of a 360-degree full-view mirror. But sometimes when he asked Tony to cut his hair and the result was not quite what he had expected, it would be okay for him to make some simple modifications himself.
Seeing that Su Zelin actually had hair-cutting props, Lu Haoran breathed a sigh of relief.
He let the honest man go into the bathroom, put a cloth on him, and then Su Zelin started cutting his hair. From time to time, he would change props or use his fingers to measure the length of a certain area of the hair on his good friend's head. He really looked a bit like the professional teacher Tony.
After a quarter of an hour, the haircut was almost done. Lu Haoran washed his hair, dried it with a hair dryer, put mousse on it, styled it, looked at it carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "Well, it's done!"
Qin Shiqing followed the two boys in the bathroom to watch the fun, but the bathroom was not very big and she could only see the back of their heads.
She was also curious about how much the scoundrel could change Lu Haoran's image. Now it was time to test the results. The girl couldn't wait to say, "Mouse, turn around and let me see!"
Lu Haoran took a deep breath and turned around. He didn't know what he thought of the hairstyle Su Zelin cut for him. Although his good friend acted very professional, he was still afraid.
As soon as she saw Lu Haoran's face, Qin Shiqing opened her eyes wide with a look of disbelief.
"Shiqing, what's going on?"
Honestly, I'm a little nervous.
Judging from Qin Shiqing's reaction, it is certain that she has changed a lot.
But I don't know whether the lifting is greater or the pulling is greater.
"Why don't you take a look for yourself."
Su Zelin took him to the mirror.
When Lu Haoran saw himself in the mirror, his eyes widened.
This is a simple yet not simplistic short hair style, which stands up diagonally. It is refreshing and clean while retaining a sense of layering, highlighting the youthful vigor and making the whole person look more energetic and not so silly.
Is this person me
Lu Haoran was surprised and happy.
He always thought of himself as a bumpkin and a fool, but this hairstyle actually made him look a little bit like a gentleman, although it was very slight, but it was obviously very different from a pure bumpkin.
"How is it? Is it okay?"
Su Zelin raised the corner of his mouth and said proudly.
"Zerlin, you are so awesome. I really, really like this hairstyle. I didn't expect you to have this skill!"
The honest man came to his senses and was filled with admiration for the gangster.
My good friend is really omnipotent!
In fact, Su Zelin only made some minor changes based on Lu Haoran's original chestnut head. The length did not change much, but he cut it into more pieces and combed it up to make it more fluffy and layered, giving his whole image a new look.
"Not everyone can enjoy my Sutoni's craftsmanship. You are lucky!"
The scoundrel first boasted about himself before giving the honest man some scientific information.
"This hairstyle is called side texture. Its characteristic is that it is styled on one side. It can be 1:9 or 2:8. You are more suitable for 2:8. This hairstyle has a strong sense of lines. It can be a little messy and not too regular. This will make you look more agile and changeable!"
It is this bit of agility and variability that changes the image of an honest man from naive to elegant.
"At the same time, your hairline and forehead are in good proportion, so they can be emphasized. So I combed your hair up to expose your forehead, so that people will focus on this area and cover up the shortcomings of your facial features."
The analysis is very clear and logical.
No matter how ugly a person's head shape, face shape and facial features are, there are always some advantages that can be found, and based on these advantages, the most suitable hairstyle can be created.
In general, a good hairstyle depends on the person's appearance and temperament. If you don't understand this, you can't be called the best Tony teacher.
Qin Shiqing was also convinced and eager to try: "Okay, Xiao Linzi, I underestimated you just now. Can you do my hair when you have time?"
"This is a skill specifically for boys, why are you, a woman, joining in the fun?"
The gangster refused without even thinking.
In fact, he has done hair for quite a few women.
To be a scumbag, you must master a lot of good skills.
For example, taking photos.
If you can make a crazy girl look like a goddess, there will be many girls who will like to play with you. Teacher Su has a photography technique that is extremely good at capturing beauty.
Another example is doing hair.
A good teacher Tony will always be surrounded by beautiful women.
This skill is even more useful than photography, because photography is just a trick for girls to deceive themselves, while a good hairstyle can really improve a girl's appearance, and it is not impossible for a crazy girl to completely turn into a goddess.
If you want to transform girls and make them more beautiful, girls will easily fall in love with you and throw themselves into your arms. For this purpose, I once paid a high price to find a top-notch teacher named Tony, who specializes in styling for celebrities, to learn from him.
Of course, you can’t do things like doing hair carelessly, at least not for Qin Shiqing.
"Side grain, side grain..."
The honest man muttered to himself and wrote down the name of the hairstyle. He was immersed in the joy of the new hairstyle, but also a little worried.
I really like this hairstyle, but I'm afraid that when I go to a hair salon in the future, others won't be able to cut it like this, and I can't always trouble my best friend.
As if he could see his worry, Su Zelin went into the room again, took out his Casio, and took a few photos of him from all sides.
"I'll wash it out for you later. Next time you want to have this haircut, just take it to Mr. Tony. Don't ask the two-dollar uncles on the street to do it. They can't do it well."
Lu Haoran was moved when he heard it.
Zelin is really thoughtful.
If you have a reference picture, it will be much easier to cut out the same effect.
But who is Teacher Tony
Well, I think it means the barber.
Su Zelin personally taught the honest man how to use mousse to comb out this hairstyle, and then jumped to the next step: "In addition to the hairstyle, you also need to change your clothes. I will go out with you to match a set later, and develop the photos by the way!"
"OK!"
Lu Haoran is 100% convinced by Hunzi, the god-level technical instructor.
Besides, Su Zelin's fashion sense is really amazing. Ever since he threw away those weird clothes before graduating from high school, he has become a recognized trendy guy. Even his girlfriend often says that Su Zelin knows how to dress and asks her to learn from him.
Su Zelin continued, "Improving your image is just preliminary preparation. When you go to the Tang family, you have to take the initiative to find opportunities to show yourself!"
"Then how should I show you?"
Lu Haoran perked up and took out a small notebook to record the spirit of the meeting, fearing that he would be stupid and forget it later.
Su Zelin thought to himself that you are imitating Huang Panpan here, always carrying a notebook with you and ready to take it out at any time.
"The first thing is to talk. Be sweet when you call Xiaoyanzi's parents. Calling them uncle and aunt more often can make your relationship closer!"
"As for proactive topics, you can talk about some of the charity activities you participated in at school. This not only shows that you are kind and caring, but also shows that you are actively participating in social practice and preparing for graduation work. However, these topics should be limited to a few words, and you should avoid long-winded and excessive self-praise."
"If the elders talk about a topic that you are not familiar with or have little understanding of, don't pretend to know something and talk big. Just listen humbly."
As the gangster was talking, Lu Haoran on the other side was taking notes with a beaming look on his face.
It's worthy of being Ze Lin, what he said is so reasonable!
Qin Shiqing over there was also puzzled.
This guy has some good taste in bird food.
She almost doubted whether the gangster had really met the girl's parents.
The honest man couldn't keep up with the speed, so Su Zelin paused for a while, waiting for his good friend to record everything, and then continued: "In addition to chatting and communicating, you can also show some of your skills!"
"Skills? Then what skills do I have that I can show in front of Xiaoyanzi's parents?"
Lu Haoran asked hurriedly.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm..."
The bastard thought for a while and said, "It seems not!"
It cannot be said that the good friend has no skills at all, but it seems that there is nothing he can show in that situation.
If it were me, I could use dozens of skills to gild myself at any time.
Even broken fans, televisions, radios and air conditioners in girls’ homes can be repaired as long as they are not serious problems.
If it really can't be repaired, just find a reason to send it to a new one.
So when Su Zelin met his girlfriend's parents in his previous life, the other party was usually very happy.
At least until I told them I had other girlfriends.
The honest man felt dizzy.
Am I really so useless
After thinking about it, it seems that what my friend said is true.
I don’t know shit about social skills!
"It's okay. If you don't have any skills, you can always learn them. It's impossible to master them all at once, but it's not a problem to cram for the last minute. For example, you can learn this!"
As he spoke, Su Zelin raised the teapot in his hand.
"Pouring tea for others? I can do that!"
Lu Haoran's eyes lit up.
"Haozi, you are such an idiot!" Su Zelin was so angry that he laughed: "What kind of skill is pouring tea for others? You have to learn how to make tea!"
"Make tea?"
The honest man scratched his head and said, "What can brewing tea show?"
"Haha, there are so many things that can be expressed. Haozi, look at me. Do you feel that there is a fairy aura around me? The three flowers gather at the top of my head and the five qi return to the origin. I am very elegant and have the temperament of a male god!"
"vomit!"
Qin Shiqing over there couldn't help it.
I have never seen such a shameless person.
“It’s true!”
Lu Haoran, however, agreed with this.
Every detail of Su Zelin's movements when making tea is so beautiful, smooth and pleasing to the eye, with an invisible sense of style.
"Qin Shiqing, are you pregnant? Whose child is it?"
Su Zelin was a little upset when his childhood sweetheart pretended to vomit.
In his opinion, tea art is a kind of Tao!
Men who can make Kung Fu tea are amazing.
A woman who can make green tea is no ordinary person!
This woman actually dared to look down on the tea ceremony.
If she meets a green tea girl, she will be in trouble!
"your!"
Qin Shiqing widened her beautiful eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't want to be a father. I'm going to sue you for defamation!"
Su Zelin snorted.
It is true that I slept in the same bed with this woman, but that was on Christmas Eve last year. And now she is suddenly pregnant after more than half a year. How could you give birth to a Nezha? How could the cycle be that long!
Besides, my millions of children and grandchildren just went into the toilet, how could you get pregnant
Lu Haoran felt a little embarrassed.
I always feel that this topic of theirs is not suitable for someone as honest as me... No, it's not suitable for a gentleman like me.
"Don't underestimate tea-making. Your principal highly advocates the tea ceremony!"
Su Zelin used a powerful example to suppress his childhood sweetheart.
"Hey, how did you know that?"
Qin Shiqing was very surprised.
"How should I know? Your principal is a tea fanatic. Many people outside know about this. What's so strange about it? Don't you know that?"
Su Zelin asked back.
In fact, Qin Shiqing had never heard of it. It was just that last semester when she saw Yan Qiuwen suddenly like drinking tea in the dormitory, she asked curiously. Her roommate replied that it was her uncle, Principal Zhou, who liked it, and she was influenced by him.
Just as he was about to say something, Lu Haoran coughed and said, "Zelin, how about we continue to talk about how to make tea?"
"All right!"
The gangster didn't say any more words to his childhood sweetheart and got back to the topic.
"Haozi, have you heard of the tea ceremony? Kung Fu tea is an art that can cultivate one's mind and cultivate one's sentiments."
“Those who know how to make Kung Fu tea can easily leave a good impression of elegance on others. It is a great way to make friends!”
"More importantly, didn't you tell Xiaoyanzi's father that he likes to drink tea? Why did you also plan to send him some tea? This is called catering to his preferences and having a common language."
"But you can't let others make tea for you, right? That's too rude. And you can't just make it yourself, so you have to learn a little! Once you have a basic understanding, you can humbly ask Little Swallow's father for advice. Wouldn't that give you something to talk about?"
Su Zelin patiently explained and demonstrated.
Lu Haoran is not Yan Qiuwen, who can learn 90% of the skills by just watching without a teacher. His good friend is still relatively dull, and it is impossible for him to master the art of picking up girls all at once.
However, it is still possible to learn the process and a few simple Kung Fu tea techniques. It is enough for a college student to know a little about tea art. Others will not demand too much from you as an expert and may even take the initiative to give you some pointers.
"It's true that listening to your words is worth ten years of reading, Zelin, how come you can think of these things?"
The honest man clapped his hands and lamented the huge gap in IQ and EQ between himself and his best friend.
After spending half a day teaching how to make Kung Fu tea, we moved on to the next step.
Hunzi said, "All of the above are just theoretical exercises. We need to rehearse a few times so that you won't get nervous and forget everything. How about this, you treat me as Xiaoyanzi's father and we will conduct actual combat exercises!"
Lu Haoran: “???”
What's going on
I treat you as a good friend, but you want to be my father-in-law
"It's okay, I'm just acting. Xiaoyanzi has been my good daughter for a long time anyway, so it doesn't feel out of place for me to occasionally play the role of her father."
Su Zelin chuckled.
"I want to play, too! I want to play, too!"
Qin Shiqing was very amused: "Just being Tang's father is not enough, Haozi, you can practice as if I were Xiaoyanzi's mother!"
Honest person: “…”
Just as Ze Lin, who wanted to be my father-in-law, appeared, Shi Qing, who wanted to be my mother-in-law, appeared.
You guys really know how to have fun!
I'm so fucking torn apart!
After staying at the Su's house for an afternoon, he had learned everything he needed to know and rehearsed several times. He thought that the honest man should be able to handle this meeting with the parents. Su Zelin took him to the street again and personally helped him to choose a battle suit and even helped him to select the tea leaves.
The tea market is very complicated. People who don’t know the business may spend their money but end up buying low-quality tea.
Upon learning that their son was going to meet his girlfriend's parents, Lu Haoran's parents gave him some money. The budget was not particularly high, so he could not buy high-quality tea, but Su Zelin would try his best to let him buy the most cost-effective product on the market with the same budget.
The gangster really cares about the honest man's lifelong event. He is definitely a best friend in the world.
Finally, Lu Haoran left with many thanks.
On the way home, Qin Shiqing felt a little depressed.
Unexpectedly, even Haozi would meet Xiaoyanzi's parents.
Xiao Linzi and I haven't made any progress yet.
If it's any consolation.
Well, we've already met each other's parents...
…
Two days later, in the evening, Jiang Lan was in the staff dormitory of a certain unit.
“Ding dong, ding dong!”
The doorbell rang.
"He's coming!"
Xiaoyanzi, who had been waiting in the living room, jumped up from the sofa.
"What's the hurry, kid?"
Both Tang's father and mother were amused by her.
They were quite nonchalant during this formal meeting.
She had once met Lu Haoran, who was sending her daughter back home, and had learned from her daughter that this boy was a down-to-earth person.
Both elders thought it was a good fit.
With my daughter's personality and her sharp tongue, she needs to find a good-tempered boyfriend.
Tang Yan was a little nervous, fearing that her boyfriend would not perform well tonight and would not be able to leave a good impression on his parents.
When the security door opened and Xiaoyanzi saw Lu Haoran outside, she was stunned for a moment.
Oh my god, is this my boyfriend
The hairstyle and clothing style, it’s like he’s a completely different person.
Has the honest and simple Lu Haoran turned into the elegant and refined Lu Haoran
