Chapter 125 Seeing the Parents
In recent weekends, Shan Hong will fly back to Songjiang. No matter how tired she is, she will always watch in the hospital on Saturday nights. No matter how many brothers persuade her, she will insist. This is her life principle. Her brothers and sisters-in-law watch the night, which is their filial piety, and what Shan Hong does is her own filial piety.
One night, Shan Rao was with her aunt in the hospital.
On the chair in the corridor, Shan Hong asked Shan Rao: "How was the boy I met last time in Beidaihe? Have you taken the national exam?"
This is the first time that Shan Hong officially talked to Shan Rao about her and Bian Xuedao.
The whole family, including Shan Rao's parents, just vaguely felt that Shan Rao seemed to have a boyfriend, but graduation was about to be about to be done and the old lady was seriously ill, so she put it aside for the time being.
Shan Rao said: "His name is Bian Xuedao. He is a major in the International Trade Industry. He is one year younger than me and cannot take the national exam."
Shan Hong seemed a little surprised when he heard this: "I am a younger than you? I will repeat the class? Or are I younger than you?"
Shan Rao felt a little embarrassed and said, "I'm one year younger than me."
Shan Hong had a very playful smile on his lips: "It's not like it. I looked at him carefully last time in Beidaihe. I looked at him with a very mature mind. I didn't expect that he was one year younger than you. How did you two get along?
Shan Rao found that no matter how rational and strong a woman is, when she talks about this topic, she is full of gossip and is no different from the little girl in the dormitory.
My aunt asked, but Shan Rao had to say it.
And Shan Rao also has her ideas.
Even though she graduated first, Shan Rao never thought of breaking up with Bian Xuedao.
If you want to learn the Tao from Bian, you will have to pass this level sooner or later.
Judging from my aunt's tone just now, I seemed to have a good first impression of Bian Xuedao. My aunt has a good say in her family. As long as my aunt supports her, there will be less obstacles in her and Bian Xuedao.
In fact, when Bian Xuedao told her that his parents were laid off workers, Shan Rao knew that it was not easy to let Bian Xuedao pass the level of home.
Therefore, Shan Rao was about to seize this opportunity and fight for her aunt who had loved her the most since childhood, so that she could help her talk to Bian Xuedao.
Also, my aunt has been rooted in Beijing for so many years and has a considerable interpersonal circle. If Bian Xuedao graduates next year, if another national exam fails, Shan Rao will ask her aunt to help her find a job in Beijing before, take the exam while taking the exam, settle in Beijing first, and then the two of them will figure out a solution together.
In Shan Rao's heart, all the obstacles she and Bian Xuedao were just a year of separation.
Shan Rao believed that with such a sweet relationship between the two, a year was not a problem at all. She had confidence in herself, and she had more confidence in Bian Xuedao.
After spending several months together, Shan Rao has figured out that Bian Xuedao is a mature, reliable and steady boy, who understands human feelings and is wise, has a good rule of mind, is not limited in terms of details, and is in a proper manner. Such a boy can get millions of gold online in college. After graduation, he may not be able to stay in Beijing without the help of his aunt, and live with her.
As a veteran and an elder who grew up watching Shan Rao grow up, Shan Hong understood the meaning of the expression on Shan Rao's face at this moment.
Shan Hong asked Shan Rao: "Are you satisfied with this little boyfriend?"
Shan Rao nodded without hesitation.
Shan Hong asked: "What does his family do?"
Shan Rao knew that he had asked the key point, "We have just been dating for a few months, and I haven't asked yet."
What a person Shan Hong is, and immediately understand what Shan Rao is covering up.
Shan Hong asked Shan Rao: "The girl I played with with you when I was a child, whose surname was Guan. What is now? Are you married?"
Seeing that his aunt did not ask Bian Xuedao's family background, Shan Rao secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Guan Shunan, it's pretty good. She works in a bank and is still close to our school. My boyfriend's boyfriend sent him to study abroad and should be back soon. He hasn't gotten married yet, so he was planning to buy a house a while ago."
Shan Hong said: "Why didn't you see you bring Bian Xuedao to see grandma?"
Of course, Shan Rao couldn't tell the truth: "It was the school's final exam season a while ago. Their majors were under a lot of pressure this semester, so I didn't bring him here."
Shan Hong said: "Tomorrow, you bring him here. Before I leave, I invite you two to have a meal. I also want to see how charming this boy who makes you so satisfied is."
The dinner the next day was very simple.
Shan Rao’s parents, Shan Hong, Shan Rao and Bian Xuedao.
The hotel is found near the hospital, it is a very ordinary small restaurant.
After all, she is Shan Rao’s boyfriend. She hasn’t graduated and left school, so there is no need to be so particular. At least that’s what Shan Rao’s parents think.
Shan Hong told them that at this dinner at noon today, Shan Rao's parents were surprised.
The old lady was still sick and didn't want to come, but when she heard Shan Hong's words, she seemed quite satisfied with this boy. Anyway, she just had a meal. Who would you eat with? She agreed to come.
Since I learned that Shan Rao entered the Central X interview, Shan Rao's parents have high expectations for their daughter's future.
Especially Shan Rao's mother, who has been suppressed by her strong sister-in-law all her life, is the one who most hopes to turn things around with her daughter.
But she also knows that it is harder for a woman to be successful in the officialdom. However, as a woman, she also has a shortcut to Zhongnan: marrying.
Why is Shan Hong so crazy? In her eyes, she just married a good family
Can you marry? Can't my daughter?
Shan Hong has been nice to Shan Rao since he was a child, and treats her as half of her daughter, but this cannot calm down the spiritual struggle between her sister-in-law.
The dinner was held by Shan Rao’s father.
"Xiao Bian, the first time we met, we shouldn't have been so casual, but Shan Rao must have told you about family matters, don't be surprised."
Bian Xuedao smiled and said, "Uncle, you are too polite."
Shan Rao’s father said, “I heard from her aunt that you are studying in the China Trade Center, one year lower than Shan Rao?”
Bian Xuedao still smiled and said, "Yes."
Shan Rao’s father said: “How is the family? Are your parents in good health? What are they doing?”
Bian Xuedao said: "We are in good health. We both were laid off a few years ago and we did odd jobs at home."
As soon as this sentence was said, Shan Rao frowned when she saw her mother's brow.
Shan Rao knew that he was finally here.
This was the part she was most worried about, but she couldn't say or suggest anything to Bian Xuedao in advance.
She knew that even if she revealed a little bit of verbal knowledge before, she could be prepared for learning Taoism, but it also meant leaving a knot between the two of them, because it indirectly showed that Shan Rao was not very satisfied with the family background of learning Taoism.
Besides, what can I do if I say it in advance?
This is the case with parents, who can change their parents?
Shan Rao knew that Bian Xuedao had millions of deposits in the bank, but she couldn't say it.
Not to mention that even if she knows it, it is best to pretend not to know in front of Bian Xuedao, otherwise it will complicate the relationship between the two. Even if she says it, if her parents ask how money is made, what should she say?
Say you made money by selling plug-ins online?
CCTV was broadcasting a while ago, and five central departments jointly launched a special governance campaign to crack down on online game plug-ins across the country. The plug-ins have been listed by relevant departments as the target of "anti-pornography" and "anti-illegal" projects.
Shan Rao could only expect her father to stop the topic as soon as possible. She picked up the chopsticks and picked up food for her father, saying, "I'm hungry, I'm eating and talking. Learn the Tao and try popular kohlrabi, how is my skill?"
No one knows a daughter is better than a father.
Shan Rao picked up food and spoke, and his father knew that his daughter was very satisfied with the boy and had already started to protect him in person.
After all, he was also a rolling in the officialdom. He immediately said with a smile: "Xiaobian, okay, my daughter has been raised for more than 20 years, and I have never tried her skills. The young man is very good. By the way, he doesn't have any hobbies in his daily life. As for men, he should have a wider range of interests."
Bian Xuedao took the bowl and took the dishes that Shan Rao had picked up, and politely said to Shan Rao's father: "I like long-distance running and football. When I have time after graduation, I may go out to play outdoors."
Shan Hong said: "Outdoor? That's a money-burning sport, but it's very popular in big cities recently."
Shan Rao’s father said: “I like football? Do you play? How are you playing?”
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little relaxed, Shan Rao quickly joined: "It's good to play football. When the SARS closed down, in our school's inter-college competition, he was the main center of the championship team."
"Is that good? When I was young, I played games between several institutions, and I also played..." As he said that, Shan Rao's father turned his head and said to his wife, "Right? My skills were still OK in several institutions."
Shan Rao's father saw that his wife had not spoken, and seemed to have an objection. He didn't want to hurt his daughter's face too much, so he led his wife to speak.
Shan Rao's mother did not add to the topic after all, but just reminded Bian Xuedao to eat a few bites of dishes far away, and told him: "If you can't reach the dishes, stand up."
If you can't reach the food, stand up
It sounds like no problem, it suits the situation, but there is no stupid person on the table. Shan Hong and Shan Rao's father turned their heads to look at Shan Rao's expressions.
Sure enough, Shan Rao's mouth immediately pouted.
Bian Xuedao was still smiling, as if he didn't understand what Shan Rao's mother said, and said calmly: "Auntie, no, I have long arms, so I can sit."
Angry, my mother didn't give Bian Xuedao face the first time she met. Shan Rao's little temper came up: "Who can't reach the learning Tao? I'll give you a clip."
The most transcendent person in this meal was Shan Hong.
She seemed happy to see Shan Rao and her mother facing each other. Moreover, she seemed to have expected this scene from the dinner party.
Shan Hong finally spoke: "Come on, Xiaobian, tell me if you can't reach it."
After hearing what Shan Hong said, Shan Rao's mother's eyes began to turn between Bian Xuedao and Shan Hong, trying hard to capture useful information.
Shan Hong seemed to be explaining to his brother and sister-in-law, and then continued: "The last time Real Madrid went to Beijing, Xiaobian took Shan Rao and my Xiaobao to the Gongshi to watch the ball. Xiaobao went home and told me that they had a good position to watch the ball, and the tickets were very expensive, and they were all bought by Shan Rao's boyfriend. And Xiaobao said that Sister Rao's boyfriend is cool and tall, and he feels very safe."
Shan Rao was ridiculous and cheerful when she heard this, why did she turn to being cool, tall and safe?
After dinner, Shan Rao and her parents and aunt returned to the hospital, while Bian Xuedao returned to school by himself.
After a while, Shan Rao's phone call arrived.
"I'm not angry when I learn Taoism, are you? Don't take it to your heart. My mother doesn't like to talk. On the way back, my dad said that she has a good impression of you."
Bian Xuedao said, "Why am I angry? Don't think too much. By the way, I thought about it on the way back. If you want to go to the interview, you must practice it yourself first. I will go out and buy you a P. Then you can record it yourself and observe it yourself."
Shan Rao asked: "Isn't it enough to use Walkman to record?"
Bian Xuedao said: "It's different. You can only hear your speaking speed and tone, but you can't see your appearance and expression. During the interview, these two are very important."
Shan Rao said: "Okay, don't buy too expensive ones, just use them."
