Tang Yan was stunned for a while before she came to her senses.
"Haoran, is that you?"
"Xiaoyanzi, who else could it be if not me?"
The honest man was happy, it seemed that he had really changed a lot.
Not only his girlfriend had the same reaction, but Qin Shiqing and his parents also felt that they were different.
"Your hairstyle and clothes..."
Xiaoyanzi asked tentatively.
"Zerlin helped with the haircut, and he also picked out the clothes!"
Lu Haoran smiled.
"oh!"
I was saying, Haoran doesn’t have the awareness of being a trendy guy or the aesthetic taste in clothes.
"swallow?"
Tang's mother was calling out in the living room, but she found it a little strange that it took Tang Yan so long to open the door.
"Come in quickly, my parents are waiting for you!"
Xiaoyanzi gained more confidence in Lu Haoran.
At least my boyfriend’s appearance can get good reviews.
As they walked into the living room with the honest man, Tang's father and mother's eyes fell on Lu Haoran at the same time, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
They had met this boy before, and their first impression was quite different from what it is now.
And my daughter also said that Lu Haoran was good in every way, except that he was a little old-fashioned and a little naive.
Now it seems that this guy is not that old-fashioned or naive. He can be saved if he dresses up a little.
"Uncle and aunt, hello, I am Lu Haoran!"
Honest people greet with a smile.
The rehearsal with the two "fathers-in-law" and "mother-in-law" the day before yesterday paid off.
His hands no longer shook and he no longer stuttered.
The lines were taught by Coach Su. Don’t think they look simple; they are actually very particular.
Each sentence should not be too little or too much.
If it's just a simple greeting like "Hello, uncle and aunt", it's too little. It will make the other person feel that you are dull and it will be difficult to get close to them.
It is not good to talk too much, as it will take away the limelight and be impolite.
It is best to say about three to five sentences each time you speak.
At the same time, speak at a moderate speed, so that you appear more relaxed.
"Haha, Haoran, we've met before. Come and sit down. You're welcome!"
Tang's mother Li Lanzhi was very enthusiastic.
She had originally prepared herself mentally for her daughter's boyfriend to be a little fool, but she didn't expect that she would be more satisfied than she imagined.
This is also the benefit of having low expectations, as it makes it easier to be surprised.
Tang Jisheng half-jokingly said, "My daughter, you always say that others are not good at speaking. Isn't this good?"
In fact, Lu Haoran's words were not particularly brilliant. They were just a very ordinary greeting line. Given Su Zelin's honest character, he could not design too sophisticated lines for him to express himself, otherwise it would only backfire.
However, the little cutie gave a good impression. He had an elegant image and smiled when he spoke. He didn't say too much or too little, and his voice was neither too fast nor too slow. This was very decent, and made Tang's father have a good impression of him.
Tang Jisheng's words were a great encouragement to Lu Haoran.
The honest man was greatly encouraged.
The script designed by Zelin is really great!
"Thank you, uncle and aunt."
Lu Haoran did not sit down immediately.
If an elder asks you to sit down, it is actually impolite to sit down immediately. You should wait a moment.
The honest man took his seat only after Xiaoyanzi sat down next to her mother.
The two elders of the Tang family saw this and nodded secretly.
This detail shows that the young man is very polite, and he also gives in to his daughter in every aspect of life.
Lu Haoran actually doesn’t understand the details that well, but he has a god-level technical advisor.
With such a good friend as your military advisor, there is no need to worry about not being able to accomplish great things.
As he sat down, he casually placed a few bags on the table.
When it comes to giving gifts, there are two common ways to handle it in social situations.
The first is to say it proactively, such as "Uncle, I heard that you like to drink tea, so I bought you some tea leaves. It's a small gift, not a big deal."
However, no matter how modest your words are, they will still have a bit of the flavor of "Look, I'm giving you a gift."
Su Zelin’s advice to honest people is that they don’t need to say anything, and it would be better to express it through Xiaoyanzi’s mouth.
The two sides had communicated before, and Tang Yan took the initiative to say: "Dad, Haoran knows that you like to drink tea, so he bought you some tea leaves and also bought a few bottles of health products for Mom."
When meeting parents, most people would give tea, cigarettes and alcohol to male elders, and health-related items to female elders.
If you are rich, you can also give more high-end gifts, such as valuable calligraphy and paintings or antiques. The effect of such high-end gifts is immediate. The gangster in his previous life often did this. He would occasionally go to the auction house to get some such things, not for his own collection, but to give to others.
Of course, we can't ask for too much from Lu Haoran's conditions, just the normal ones will do.
"Haha, Haoran is thoughtful."
The two elders nodded slightly.
"Haoran, you must be thirsty in this hot weather, how about a cup of tea first?"
Tang Jisheng had already been making Kung Fu tea, waiting to greet guests.
The honest man ran over and said, "Uncle, I'm here, I'm here."
He picked up the teapot, poured a cup for the two elders of the Tang family, then poured a cup for Xiaoyanzi, and then poured one for himself.
Tang's father and mother nodded repeatedly.
This young man is very sensible. He is not as honest and dull as his daughter said.
After pouring a few cups and finishing the tea, the honest man took over the task of making tea. The good friend said that it was impolite to ask the future father-in-law to make tea for him. At this time, he could take the lead a little bit, and the other party would not be disgusted. He could also take this opportunity to show his skills and arouse the other party's interest.
Tang Jisheng made another cup of tea according to the process Su Zelin taught him. He was slightly moved: "Hey, Haoran, you can also make Kung Fu tea?"
Although the honest man was not very skilled, Tang's father could tell that it was indeed the method of brewing Kung Fu tea.
There are not many students who know how to drink tea, so it is good enough if they know a little.
"Uncle, you are too kind!"
As he spoke, Lu Haoran subconsciously wanted to scratch his head again, but this time the honest man forced himself to control himself.
On the day of the exercise, he was beaten several times by Su Zelin because of this bad habit.
Scratching your head while making Kung Fu tea is not only uncivilized but also unhygienic and should never be done.
It is best not to do this in front of your elders at any time, and it would be even better if you can completely get rid of this bad habit.
"In fact, I just learned this from a friend these few days, and I have only learned the basics. Uncle is an expert in this field, so please feel free to give me some pointers."
The honest man said frankly.
"Hahaha, I like you, young man!"
Tang Jisheng laughed heartily.
In fact, he could also see that Lu Haoran was just a novice. If nothing unexpected happened, he had learned how to make Kung Fu tea specifically for this visit. However, he did not hide this fact, nor did he pretend to know something. Instead, he was more sincere.
We drank some tea in the living room and then had dinner.
There were a lot of dishes, and Tang Jishen and Li Lanzhi also made preparations to welcome their daughter's boyfriend.
The old couple are not demanding people. Regardless of whether this matter can be accomplished or not, it will not be impolite.
After dinner, the two men continued to drink tea, while the mother and daughter watched "My Fair Princess 3". This popular TV series in the summer prime time dominated the screen during this time period and had extremely high ratings.
The honest man's trip to meet his parents went very smoothly, so smoothly that Xiaoyanzi couldn't believe it.
She had originally considered that her boyfriend might get into trouble and wanted to be there to help him out at any time. However, the honest man behaved quite well throughout the whole night and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
This went on until nine o'clock in the evening, when Lu Haoran said goodbye.
When you visit someone for the first time, you should not leave too early or too late, otherwise it would be impolite. You should time your departure well, so it will be enough to have dinner, drink tea and chat.
Tang's father and mother enthusiastically escorted him to the door: "Haoran, come again next time when you have time, but don't buy any gifts!"
Lu Haoran and Tang Yan were very happy and asked to come next time, which naturally meant they were very satisfied with their future son-in-law.
"Thank you, uncle and aunt. I will come to bother you again in the future. Please stay!"
"Okay, then we won't see him off. Yan Zi, you can see Hao Ran off."
"Got it, Mom and Dad!"
As they walked out of the Tang family's home, Xiaoyanzi said happily, "Haoran, your performance today was absolutely perfect. My parents just praised you highly and said that you are a very nice person."
She was puzzled. Her boyfriend suddenly seemed to be possessed by Su Zelin tonight. Could it be that he was bewitched by a god
No, if it was Su Zelin who could bring the dead back to life, I guess my parents would take the initiative to propose to arrange the marriage tonight...
Perhaps image affects a person's character.
This was the only explanation Xiaoyanzi could give.
“Actually, I have rehearsed it.”
Lu Haoran said with a smile.
He felt like scratching his head again when he was praised, but he forced himself to hold it back.
Even though I praised him so much, Haoran didn't scratch his head, and he didn't even scratch it the whole night.
Xiaoyanzi couldn't believe it.
She knows her boyfriend's personality and habits very well.
The honest man added: "A lot of things were taught to me by Zelin and Shiqing."
In fact, it is mainly Su Zelin. Although Qin Shiqing has a high EQ, Su Zelin undoubtedly knows how to deal with this kind of occasion when meeting parents. After all, he has seen many groups of parents in his previous life, and his experience as a gangster is not ordinary.
Even though she had no experience, Qin Shiqing could not compare with a social expert like him in terms of socializing.
Honest people also take it very seriously.
After returning, he simulated it countless times in his mind. Whenever he encountered any process details that he didn't remember, he would immediately call Coach Su, so this successful meeting was the result of the joint efforts of many parties.
Little Swallow nodded.
Even if they had rehearsed it, being able to achieve this level is worthy of recognition, and it also shows that the boyfriend put a lot of effort into it.
Su Zelin may not be a good man, but he is definitely a good friend and he is really nice to his friends.
After saying goodbye to Xiaoyanzi, Lu Haoran rode his bicycle back home in a good mood.
When his father Lu Renxiang and mother Miao Guihua saw him, they hurriedly asked.
"How's it going, son?"
Naturally, they care more about Lu Haoran's lifelong affairs than anyone else.
The two had always been worried that Lu Haoran was so stupid that he wouldn’t be able to find a wife, and they were afraid that other people’s parents would not agree and the little swallow would fly away.
"Xiaoyanzi's parents are very nice, and they even let me go and play next time!"
Lu Haoran grinned.
"That's great, it means they like you!"
Lu Renxiang also grinned.
Lu Haoran looks very similar to his father, they are simply copied from the same mold.
When the two honest men stand together, they really look a bit like Kai and Rock Lee in Naruto, both of them are silly.
However, when they opened the eight doors and changed their hairstyles, both the master and the apprentice had a handsome look, so hairstyle is still very important.
"Son, tell us what happened."
Miao Guihua was very gossipy and kept asking Lu Haoran to know more details.
The honest boy told his parents everything about his meeting with the Tang family that night.
After hearing this, Miao Guihua was also happy: "Son, you performed really well. No wonder Xiaoyanzi's parents like you. You have to thank Zelin. He has done a lot to help you!"
The day before yesterday, Lu Haoran came home with this hairstyle, which shocked his parents. They didn't expect that their son would be willing to change his hairstyle. Later they found out that it was Su Zelin's masterpiece. Even old Lu was considering whether he should change his hairstyle to be similar to his son's. The two of them have similar head shapes, facial features and facial features. What suits Lu Haoran will definitely suit him too.
"Yes, Mom, this is a must!"
At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
An honest person also bought a mobile phone in his junior year of college. By 2003, the price of this once luxury item had come down, and it was common to buy phones costing less than a thousand yuan.
Lu Haoran's Nokia 2100, which was released in January this year, was priced at only seven or eight hundred yuan when it was launched. The 1100, which was launched in October of the same year, was even more of a classic, selling 200 million units worldwide. This incredible sales volume would be a miracle that would have been impossible in the era of smart phones in later generations.
As soon as you see the caller number on the screen, 2100, you will know who the hell is.
It was from my "father-in-law".
As soon as I pressed the answer button, my best friend's voice floated out of the phone microphone: "Haozi, how is it?"
Su Zelin suggested that the honest man leave around nine o'clock after meeting the parents. Now it was already nine twenty, and he guessed that Xiaoyanzi should no longer be at home, so he called to inquire about the situation.
"Very good, Xiaoyanzi's parents are very good, and they are very good to me too!"
Lu Haoran used three "very good" to describe it, and his joyful mood was transmitted to Liuzhi Lane on the other side of Jiang Lan through the mobile phone radio waves.
"Brother told me, with me as your military advisor, you will definitely be able to do it!"
The gangster said smugly.
"Come on, stop taking credit!"
The voice of "mother-in-law" came from the microphone again.
Um, Shiqing is with Zelin.
"Mouse, what did you talk to Xiaoyanzi's parents?"
Qin Shiqing asked curiously.
Before Lu Haoran could answer, Su Zelin over there started complaining.
"Qin Shiqing, why are you so gossipy? If you want to gossip, why don't you just ask Xiaoyanzi?"
"Haha, if you don't gossip, then why are you in such a hurry to call Mouse?"
"I only care about the results, not the process!"
"I care about both the results and the process. If there is anything that Haozi does that is not perfect, I can analyze it for him and continue to improve it to achieve perfection!"
"Alright, alright, you're just gossiping!"
"You're the gossipy one, pighead!"
"… "
Honest person: “…”
"Father-in-law" and "mother-in-law" started arguing again.
The relationship between the "old couple" seems to be not very harmonious.
After listening with great interest to Lu Haoran's explanation of the details on the phone, Qin Shiqing immediately called Xiao Yanzi with great interest after hanging up.
The same thing feels different when described from different perspectives.
Listening to his childhood sweetheart and best friend chattering for a long time, Su Zelin became impatient.
"Qin Shiqing, are you okay?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not healed yet!"
"If you're not ready, hurry up, I want to go to bed!"
"Just go to sleep. You can't sleep so early!"
"But I need to change my clothes!"
"Okay, you change."
Qin Shiqing turned around and continued chatting with Xiaoyanzi with her back to him.
Damn, this woman is such a hooligan!
Can I bear this loss
With no other options, the gangster could only get up and go to the bathroom to change into his pajamas.
After returning to the room, Qin Shiqing chatted with Xiaoyanzi for more than ten minutes before ending the call with a feeling of unsatisfied desire.
"Qin Shiqing, how come you have become such a gossiper?"
Su Zelin was puzzled.
Wasn't this woman quite quiet before? Why is she showing signs of evolving like a trumpet now
Maybe it’s because I spent too much time with Xiaolaba during the holidays and was influenced by him.
Or maybe it’s because of age
After all, she is already twenty years old and no longer a young girl of seventeen or eighteen.
Some women are quiet when they are young, but become chatterboxes as they grow older.
It is said that even when the Empress Dowager was a girl, she was quite shy. Can you believe it
The scene was so beautiful that Su Zelin couldn't imagine it.
"Who are you calling a gossip?"
Qin Shiqing raised her eyebrows and began to use her pinching technique.
"You are just a gossip. Your mouth is not as good as before. You have become a female hooligan!"
The gangster said stubbornly.
"You dare to say that? You're looking for death!"
"Stop pinching me, stop pinching me, you're going to hurt me, Qin Shiqing, I'm going to fight back, look at my Nine Yin White Bone Claw!"
Two masters were fighting in the room, their moves were deadly.
In the chaos, Qin Shiqing was suddenly pulled and lost her balance, and fell on the gangster.
When their eyes met, time seemed to stand still, and the bedroom became quiet. Both of them could feel each other's heartbeat and stopped fighting.
"Son, Shiqing, have some iced green bean soup..."
As luck would have it, the Queen Mother walked in at this time holding two bowls and saw this scene.
Awkward is just one word.
"Hey, where did everyone go?"
The empress dowager thought quickly and, as if her eyes were blinded by a ghost, she ignored the two young men and left with the mung bean soup.
This brat said that he treated Shi Qing as a female classmate, neighbor, childhood playmate and friend. He said no, but his body was quite honest, wasn't it
It’s a good thing that my son is interested in Qin Shiqing, but what should I do if he is attracting other women outside
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother was both happy and worried.
As soon as Zhao Lixia left the house, Qin Shiqing jumped up from Su Zelin like a kitten whose tail was stepped on.
The girl's face felt a little hot and her heart was beating very fast.
"I, I didn't mean it!"
Su Zelin explained randomly.
"I'm going back first!"
Qin Shiqing blushed and hurried out the door.
Oh, it's so embarrassing that I was caught by my aunt. I don't know how to face her from now on.
It’s all that guy’s fault for pulling people in randomly, otherwise such an embarrassing thing wouldn’t have happened.
Su Zelin was also very depressed.
He just hinted a few days ago that he had no interest in Qin Shiqing, and now the Queen Mother has misunderstood him again. It's hard to clarify.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered that his hands were still in the posture of the Nine Yin White Bone Claws.
The attack action was disrupted, and the gangster seemed to be thinking about something.
Twenty-year-old Qin Shiqing is really a grown-up girl...
At this time, Zhao Lixia came in with another bowl. Qin Shiqing had already left, and the queen mother didn't have to pretend to be a ghost covering her eyes: "Son, drink some mung bean soup before going to bed. The weather is hot recently, it can reduce internal heat."
As she spoke, she put the bowl on the table.
"Mom, it was just a misunderstanding. Don't think too much about it. Qin Shiqing was just playing with me and it was an accident."
Su Zelin coughed dryly and felt it necessary to explain clearly.
"Okay, Mom knows. Mom knows everything!"
Zhao Lixia said with a smile.
As soon as he saw the Queen Mother's expression, Su Zelin knew that she didn't understand anything, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Don't tell Dad about this!"
"This kid, is mom such a gossipy person?"
Zhao Lixia was unhappy.
Su Zelin thought to himself that if you don't gossip, there will be no gossiping people in the whole Liuzhi Lane.
There is no middle-aged woman who doesn’t gossip!
"Okay, you have to drink it later. Put the bowl in the kitchen after you finish drinking. Mom will wash it tomorrow. Go to bed early."
The Queen Mother left and returned to her room. Su Jianjun was reading a magazine. When he saw his wife, he asked, "Why was there so much noise over there, son?"
That’s a good question!
Zhao Lixia suddenly became energetic and forgot about Su Zelin's words.
"Old Su, let me tell you something. Just now, Ze Lin and Shi Qing..."
…
