Chapter 245 Meeting the Parents
On the day Zhuang Sheng came back, Lou Ningzhi got up early, not on purpose, but because she has become a habit of getting up early every day recently.
Since Lou Guoqing took Lou's mother to recuperate in Beijing, Lou Ningzhi was "forced" to go for a run with Lou Guoqing every morning, and changed from a boarding student to a day student.Lou Guoqing asked her to choose a day to invite her dormitory classmates to dinner. Although Tan Jiayu's family was not up to the background of Lou's family, she was a child of a wealthy family since she was a child, and she behaved decently. Lou Guoqing liked her very much and made Lou Ning Zhi learned from her a lot, as for Fang Xiaoyu and Fu Jia... Lou Ningzhi didn't want to mention it, but he heard from Tan Jiayu that the two of them didn't sleep all night when they went back.
Lou Ningzhi told Lou Guoqing, but Lou Guoqing smiled and waved his hands: "It would be nice to have more meals in the future, I think you roommates are very good, simple children, and you are quite a match."
Lou Ningzhi shouted: "Why do you use words indiscriminately like your mother, what do you mean by good match?"
Lou Guoqing quibbled: "I am obviously different from your mother, she uses idioms, four words or more, I only use two words."
Lou Ningzhi's statement said: "Words include idioms!"
Lou Guoqing sighed: "I hate that my father has not read many books and is uneducated." Then he went to Lou's mother to pretend to be pitiful. Lou's mother played with the scarf around her neck and freed one hand to touch her husband. The head: "It's not like you don't know that Xiaolou is now a top student."
The two sang together, embarrassing Lou Ningzhi, and finally yelled "ah", saying "you are so annoying", and then ran away.
The two parents laughed heartily.
After a month of this, Lou Guoqing found that Lou's mother's health has improved a lot. I don't know if it's because Lou Ningzhi is amused by her every day, so now Lou Guoqing wants her to stay at home even more.Fortunately, Lou Ningzhi himself is happy to stay at home, eat and drink, and his parents don't nag much. Occasionally they just ask about Zhuang Sheng, Lou Ningzhi can talk about Zhuang Sheng for three days Three nights without repetition.
In the past two and a half months of Zhuang Sheng's filming, Lou Ningzhi has used her "perfect tongue" to praise Zhuang Sheng from head to toe that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on earth, and the earth is glorious because of her.
Zhuang Sheng sat in the car well, and felt his calf go soft.
"You brag about me in front of your parents like this, and when your parents see me, they find that I'm just an ordinary person. What if it backfires?"
"No, it's not like they haven't seen you before." Lou Ningzhi patted her hand to comfort her.
"Will the last meeting be the same as this meeting?" Last time she was sending her to report to school as a friend, but this time she was meeting her parents. Besides... Lou's mother discovered her private relationship with Lou Ningzhi at that time, I also said such a thing, I want to remember it...
"Why is it different? I found that you are a very worrying person. You just worry about nothing. My parents are the kind of very informal people. You are so good-looking and have such a good personality. If they don't like you I chop off my head."
Zhuang Sheng: "..."
Zhuang Sheng glanced at her leisurely.
Lou Ningzhi: "Bah, bah, bah."
Only then did Zhuang Sheng give up, and said angrily, "Next time you talk nonsense, I'll beat you."
Lou Ningzhi: "Do you still dare to domestically abuse me?"
Zhuang Sheng: "Don't dare."
The car drove steadily towards Lou's house.
Zhuang Sheng suddenly called out: "Oops!"
Lou Ningzhi was taken aback by her, raised his heart in his throat, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Zhuang Sheng said, "I haven't prepared any presents yet." She was on the set and focused on filming, and Lou Ningzhi informed her that the notification was urgent, and he told her that he would take her home that day.It was the first time she met her girlfriend's parents again, so she missed it.
Lou Ningzhi thought it was a big deal, but he didn't expect it to be this: "What gift do you want, they haven't seen anything before."
Zhuang Sheng: "Stop!"
Lou Ningzhi: "Huh?"
The driver was the driver of Lou's family. The driver looked at Lou Ningzhi in the rearview mirror and said in a questioning tone, "Miss San?"
Lou Ningzhi: "Stop the car."
The driver pulled over nearby, Zhuang Sheng picked up the bag and pushed the door to get off, Lou Ningzhi chased after him: "Why are you going?"
Zhuang Sheng said as he walked, "I'm going to buy gifts."
Lou Ningzhi asked from behind, "Are you walking with your feet?"
Zhuang Sheng stopped, walked back silently, and got into the car again.
Lou Ningzhi asked the driver to divert to the commercial street.
After arriving, Lou Ningzhi said: "You go, I will wait for you in the car."
Zhuang Sheng asked, "Why?"
Lou Ningzhi seemed to be relaxed and said: "This place is very crowded, you will definitely be photographed, if I follow you, you will be the hot search reservation today, please avoid it first."
Zhuang Sheng frowned, went to hold her hand, and said, "I don't care about being photographed, the media will scribble, no matter what I do, I will be scribbled."
Lou Ningzhi withdrew his hand and shook his head: "Let's forget it, I don't like to appear in the news on the Internet anymore."
Zhuang Sheng and her looked at each other for a long time, and said, "Okay, then wait for me obediently here, and I'll be right back."
Lou Ningzhi: "Yes."
Zhuang Sheng got out of the car alone, the commercial street was so big, there were so many luxury stores of all kinds, and he was picking out gifts for his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he couldn't get anywhere soon.Lou Ningzhi lay down in the spacious back seat after Zhuang Sheng left, holding his mobile phone in both hands to play games, the driver turned off the car, tilted his head back and closed his eyes to rest.
Lou Ningzhi played the game for half an hour, but Zhuang Sheng hadn't come back, so he sent her a message saying that he was still in the store, and Lou Ningzhi asked her to call after buying, and she squinted for a while.
After an unknown amount of time, the mobile phone in Lou Ningzhi's arms sang cheerfully. Before she woke up, the driver woke up first.
Lou Ningzhi answered the phone.
Zhuang Sheng: "I got out of the elevator and am walking this way."
Lou Ningzhi: "Unlock the car, and you're back."
She looked out from the car, Zhuang Sheng hurried, as if someone was chasing him, then opened the door and got into the car neatly: "Let's go."
When the car drove out of the parking lot, Lou Ningzhi asked her, "What's wrong with you walking so fast?"
Zhuang Sheng shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just think it's too late and I'm in a hurry."
Lou Ningzhi smiled and said, "I thought there were paparazzi behind you."
Zhuang Sheng also smiled, and gave the two gifts in his hand to Lou Ningzhi: "Will your parents like it?"
Lou Ningzhi said: "Yes, as long as it is a gift from you, I will definitely like it. If I don't like it, I will show my face to them."
"Are you so good at home?"
"That must be the top of the food chain."
Zhuang Sheng just smiled and said nothing.
There is no need to talk about the fact that Lou Ningzhi was double hit by the eldest sister and the second sister.
The closer he got to the building, the more nervous Zhuang Sheng became, his heart beat faster, his palms were sweaty, he was restless, and he was sweating all over in the car in the cold winter months.
After the car entered the community, Lou Ningzhi pressed the button and made a voice: "People are here! Come out and greet them!"
Before Zhuang Sheng could stop her, the voice message was sent successfully.
The welcoming scene was more grand than Zhuang Sheng had imagined. Lou Guoqing was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and looked energetic. Lou's mother was wearing a bright red cheongsam with a woolen shawl around her shoulders. Lou Wanzhi and Lou Anzhi were also dressed up. The whole family was present. up.
Zhuang Sheng's eyes went dark, and he supported Lou Ningzhi's arm to stand still.
"Dad... no, hello uncle and aunt."
"Eldest sister, second sister."
After asking them one by one, Lou Guoqing pinched her shoulders with generous palms, Zhuang Sheng's face was calm, and without even frowning, Lou Guoqing praised loudly: "Good."
Lou Ningzhi said angrily: "Dad, what are you doing? Now it's not like before. You still have to do farm work. Why check people's physique?"
Lou Guoqing: "As you said, good health is fundamental. If you are not healthy, how can you take care of you? You are so delicate."
Lou Ningzhi: "Since when did I become weak?"
Lou Guoqing: "It's not you who are howling in the gym? After practicing a set of machines, you can't even lift your arms. If you touch you, you will howl."
Zhuang Sheng raised his eyebrows, this Lou Ningzhi didn't tell her when he called her.
One of Lou Ning came up and covered her ears: "You are not allowed to listen!"
Zhuang Sheng: "..."
"Dad!" Lou Ningzhi turned to complain about Lou Guoqing, "Didn't I tell you that it was a secret? Why did you leak all my secrets? If so, what other secrets would I have to tell you?" Lou Ning He planned to practice his arm strength secretly, and when the time came, he would hug Zhuang Sheng up and give her a surprise.
Lou Guoqing said cheerfully, "I forgot, Dad was wrong."
Lou Ningzhi glared at Zhuang Sheng: "You didn't hear anything just now."
Zhuang Sheng: "I didn't hear anything."
Lou Ningzhi wowed: "My dad is so annoying, my surprise is gone."
Seeing that the scene was about to turn into a small farce, Lou's mother came out and lightly covered the topic: "It's such a cold day, what are you doing outside, come inside."
The heating was installed in the room, the family sat on the sofa, Zhuang Sheng sat upright on the sofa, Lou Guoqing and Lou's mother took the gift from her and expressed their love.
Lou Anzhi deliberately teased and said, "Don't we?"
They knew each other very well in private, and Zhuang Sheng never thought of preparing gifts for them both, so he was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands.
Lou Wanzhi slapped Lou Anzhi's hand lightly, and then slapped himself again under Lou Anzhi's gaze.
Lou Anzhi: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, you don't have to be so nervous."
Zhuang Sheng wiped the sweat on the seam of his trousers without any trace, and said softly, "I'm not nervous."
Lou Anzhi shrugged.
Lou's mother: "Xiao Zhuang."
Zhuang Sheng conditioned reflex: "Here!"
Lou's mother pursed her lips and smiled, as if she couldn't help laughing, and several other people also laughed, Zhuang Sheng's face flushed red: "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm too loud."
Lou's mother: "Old Lou, is the food ready?"
Lou Guoqing got up and said, "I'll go and have a look."
Lou's mother: "Jinhua, take the two of them upstairs."
She meant to distract the others to talk to Zhuang Sheng alone, Lou Ningzhi glanced at her mother suspiciously, gave Zhuang Sheng a cheering gesture, and followed the eldest and second sisters upstairs.
Finally, Lou's mother and Zhuang Sheng were the only ones left in the living room.
Lou's mother said flatly, "I didn't expect you to let Xiao Lou come out for you, and the three sisters even joined forces to play a big show to fool her father."
Zhuang Sheng lowered her head, facing Lou's mother, she always seemed to have a sense of fear from the bottom of her heart, especially when she was alone.
Lou's mother said: "They don't know that I already knew about your relationship, and they still think that I know nothing like Lao Lou, but don't worry, I have no intention of exposing them."
Zhuang Sheng glanced at her, and quickly lowered his eyes again. He was not sure what Lou's mother's attitude was. If he agreed, he didn't seem to agree. If he disagreed, why did he cooperate with the performance of the three sisters.
"Are you guessing whether I have accepted your intimacy?" Zhuang Sheng didn't answer, and Lou's mother didn't insist on waiting for her to answer, she said, "You want me to give a clear answer, I can't say it myself. Our family's education has always followed the word respect, and I respect all Xiaolou's choices, and I have indeed seen her great changes over the past year. I am afraid that you are the most responsible for this."
Zhuang Sheng was just about to say that she praised her absurdly, so he said a few polite words.
Lou's mother: "But..."
Zhuang Sheng's heart sank high.
Lou's mother: "I saw you today, except for the famous brand you are wearing, it seems that there is no big change from seeing you a year ago."
"..."
"Now you have your own career, and you are also a public figure sought after by thousands of people," Lou's mother sighed, and said, "Why don't you still dare to look me in the eyes? Am I a scourge that scares you so much?"
"No." Zhuang Sheng immediately denied, then slowly raised his head, forcing himself to look directly at the other party.
Lou's mother showed a faint smile: "That's right."
Zhuang Sheng also laughed, a little forcedly.
Lou's mother just looked at her like this, neither speaking nor smiling, Zhuang Sheng could hardly bear to lower her head again, but she finally restrained herself.
"Okay, you can go upstairs to find her, I will call you when the meal is ready." Mother Lou said.
"Auntie, I'm going up."
"Go."
Lou Ningzhi hid at the stairs, quietly spying on the situation downstairs, but they were too far away, and the two of them spoke in a low voice, so they didn't hear anything. "What did my mother tell you?"
As soon as Zhuang Sheng came up, she dragged him back to the room.
"I didn't say anything." Zhuang Sheng washed his face in the bathroom, propping his hands on the edge of the sink.
"I was scared to death when I saw you upstairs, why haven't you said anything yet?"
"I didn't say anything, I was just nervous and timid. Is this towel for wiping your face?"
"Yes."
Zhuang Sheng covered his face with a towel, raised his head, and said in a dull voice from under the towel, "As early as more than a year ago, when I sent you to school, your mother knew about our relationship. "
Lou Ningzhi was stunned on the spot.
Zhuang Sheng wiped his face, hung up the towel again, and walked out from inside.
Lou Ningzhi followed out unconsciously, and after a full 2 minutes, he raised his hand to cover his mouth, looked very shocked, and whispered: "Then the scene I played with the eldest sister and second sister in front of her a while ago? "
Zhuang Sheng said: "Your mother cooperated with your performance."
Lou Ningzhi said: "That's why you are so afraid of her?"
Zhuang Sheng nodded.
Lou Ningzhi pondered for a while and said, "No, my mother is a very gentle person except for her mouth. If she hadn't told you something, why would you be afraid of her? What did she tell you before?" ?"
Naturally, Zhuang Sheng would not tell her the truth, but said: "I didn't say anything, just said that I hope I will work hard and take care of you as soon as possible."
Lou Ningzhi excitedly said for no reason: "Didn't I give you a few million checks and say 'leave my daughter'?"
Zhuang Sheng pushed her forehead: "You have read too many novels, you still use such an old-fashioned plot." She said to herself, your mother's plot is much higher than this, and even now, she still doesn't know the other party's plot. What is thinking in my heart, I don't even know whether I agree or not.
……
"Finished the inspection?" Lou Guoqing smiled when he heard the kitchen door open.
The people behind him didn't speak for a long time, Lou Guoqing turned around and saw his wife frowning beautifully, with a sad face.Lou Guoqing turned down the heat, put down the spatula, and asked, "What's wrong? It's not going well?"
Lou's mother shook her head: "No, I just can't let go."
Lou Guoqing: "I can't let it go, I think this little girl looks good, looks like a person with good character, good health, tall, and obeys Xiaolou's words."
Lou's mother raised her eyebrows and said, "You've only met her a few times, and you're full of praise?"
Lou Guoqing: "Two sides, I met Xiaolou once when school started last year. I had a good impression of her last time, and now the impression is even better."
Lou's mother: "You don't think..."
Lou Guoqing: "What do you think?"
Lou's mother paused and said, "Didn't you notice that this child has a little low self-esteem?"
Lou Guoqing laughed and said, "I thought it was something, it turned out to be this, and I found out, what's wrong with it, a little bug, it's harmless."
Lou's mother doesn't think it's a small problem: "Small problem? Xiao Lou is immature in the first place, and there should be a more mature and stable one to complement her. This one looks stable, but in fact it may not be stable."
Lou Guoqing said: "How old is she, in her early twenties, how can she be so stable? When I was her age, I was still pretending to be a grandson with others outside. You know that people have low self-esteem. Why do they have low self-esteem? do you know?"
"why?"
"It's not because of falling in love with your daughter."
"Xiaolou is not such an excellent child, except she has no money, she is better than Xiaolou in everything."
"..." Lou Guoqing said in a low voice, "If Xiaolou knows that you are complaining about her again, she will definitely cry for you again." The man turned off the fire completely, turned around and said, "Do you remember that we just talked about it?" When I was in love, I was still a poor man. You were the monitor of the workshop at that time, and the profit in the factory was good, and your salary was several times higher than mine. I worry about it every day, what can I do to make you live a better life? In life, I also have low self-esteem, the pressure is extremely high, whoever talks about such a beautiful object like you does not have low self-esteem."
"I do not……"
"You don't know, you didn't find out because I hid it well, and then I slowly started doing business, and this mentality gradually faded as we got along day and night." Lou Guoqing said, "It fades away. , but it hasn’t completely disappeared, for example, look at you now, you still look so good in a cheongsam, you look like that, I’ve already got a blessing, and people say I’m your father when I go out.”
Lou's mother: "...Speak as you say, don't talk sweetly."
Lou Guoqing smiled, put his hands on her shoulders, and said, "You, you are just thinking too much and worrying too much, the same is true about the matter of the boss and the second child. I don't have any serious problems. It's good for you, and you fell ill all at once. Little Regarding the matter of the building, let them go on their own. No matter whether the result is good or bad, we can support her in the back. Relax, the doctor said, the most important thing for you now is to maintain a happy mood and don't think about it. I thought, they are passionately in love, and they can't break it apart even if they want to."
Lou's mother: "But I still..."
Lou Guoqing looked at her tenderly.
Lou's mother said "hey" and said, "Forget it, I don't care."
"That's right." Lou Guoqing uncovered a plate on the stage and picked up chopsticks for her, "Come on, how about this beef?"
"It's a bit bland, and why is the beef cut so small?"
Lou Guoqing smiled mysteriously and said, "I made it light on purpose."
Lou's mother looked at him, and suddenly remembered that Zhuang Sheng is from the south, and the taste of southerners is milder than that of northerners.This man looks rough, but he is actually more careful than her in many cases.
Since he has no objection, then don't worry about it, and worrying about it won't make Lou Ningzhi appreciate her.What's more, Lou Guoqing has been immersed in shopping malls for many years, so his ability to judge people is naturally better than her.
"I don't care anymore." Mother Lou said.
Lou Guoqing understood what she was saying, and said "um", "Don't worry, I will take care of everything."
Lou's mother slapped him lightly on the shoulder: "It's as if you can afford it." She said and was about to go out.
Lou Guoqing: "Wait a minute."
"What else?"
"I made you a bowl of boiled eggs in sugar water." Lou Guoqing lifted the lid of the steamer on the stove, "I only cooked a bowl, you eat it in the kitchen, don't take it out, let them see it and say I'm partial to you Turn on the stove."
"You were biased."
The range hood in the kitchen was working quietly. Mother Lou blew the syrup cold, and fed the first mouthful to Lou Guoqing who was cooking. Lou Guoqing said, "I tasted it when I made it just now. You can eat it yourself."
Lou's mother was halfway through her drink when she saw four people coming down the stairs one after another. Lou Ning saw her use of her body to cover things around her at a glance.
Lou Ningzhi strolled to the kitchen, pushed the door open, poked his head in, and said happily, "Mom, what are you eating?"
"I didn't eat anything."
"You eat what you don't eat." Lou Ningzhi stepped in, and his neck stretched out for a moment.
Lou Guoqing stood up and said, "Your mother has no appetite and wants something sweet, so I made some boiled eggs in sugar water."
Lou Ningzhi dragged out a long "oh".
Ten minutes later, there were four bowls of boiled eggs in sugar water on the table, and four juniors sat in front of the table.
Lou Ningzhi smiled openly: "Thank you, Dad!"
The author has something to say: National Day Dad: I finally made a small stove for my wife, but was caught by my little daughter again╭(╯^╰)╮
