Hu Biyuan continued: "I've seen the photos. She's a pretty girl who is very suitable for you. Let's ask her out for dinner another day and let me meet her in real life. You don't have to worry about Mom and Dad, I

I will tell them."

After a pause, Hu Biyuan's tone suddenly became a little confused: "Xiaohu, why did you call me in the middle of the night just to talk about this?"

Hu Pingtao sighed: "Sister, I will definitely bring her to see you. But now the trouble is coming. Linlin wants me to go to her house for dinner tomorrow night."

Hu Biyuan is still puzzled: "This is a good thing!"

"But...but...I was not prepared at all." Hu Pingtao told what happened before: "I happened to be sleeping when Linlin called, and I didn't react at all."

"Hahahaha!" Hu Biyuan laughed heartily and proudly on the phone, and then comforted: "My son-in-law with hairy feet has to come to see his mother-in-law. Don't worry! They won't eat you."

Hu Pingtao's irritable thoughts gradually calmed down. He asked seriously: "Sister, tomorrow is my first visit. What gift do you think I should bring?"

This is indeed a problem.

Hu Biyuan thought for a few seconds: "Let's do this! I'll prepare something for you. It won't be too ostentatious or low-key. You wait at the police station tomorrow and I'll send someone to deliver it to you. At ten o'clock in the morning

I'll send it to you, I won't miss you."

"Thank you, sister." Hu Pingtao said this sincerely.

"Does Su Xiaolin know that you own a house and a car? Have you ever told her about my relationship with you? Also, have you ever told her about your father's identity?" Hu Biyuan asked another series of questions.

"None of them." Hu Pingtao held the phone in his right hand and shook his head.

"It's okay if you don't say it." Hu Biyuan said: "But I have to tell you, don't hang people up with these things. You have to say it when you need to say it. Emotions can't stand the test of material things. Listen to me, sister.

Words: Don’t judge people by material things, and don’t deliberately pretend to be poor in front of other girls. Anyway, you have a certain level in your heart. You are not a poor person, and don’t think that others are willing to be with you just for your money. Usually, you have two

When you go out to eat, be generous when paying the bill. If you don’t have enough money, just tell me.”

"I see."

"Also, when you go to her house tomorrow, don't drive your car. Just say that you are tired from work recently, or make up any excuse. Since Amelia Su said she would pick you up, just take her car there."

Hu Pingtao couldn't help but laugh: "Sister, didn't you say that you don't pretend to be poor or cool?"

"You know nothing!" Hu Biyuan angrily said on the other end of the phone: "These are two different things. Driving such a big car for the first time to someone else's house, isn't it showing off? If her parents ask about your job and salary

, there is also a garage and so on, so you can say whatever you want. In short, it is best not to drive when you go to your father-in-law’s house for the first time. But you can tell him that you have such a car when he asks. Eyes

The real thing you see is always more shocking than the news you hear. You should understand this truth!"

Hu Pingtao was thoughtful and sincerely convinced: "I finally understand why my brother-in-law has always been obedient to you."

"Okay, don't talk about those useless things, and go to bed quickly." Hu Biyuan ordered: "Stick up your energy and have a good time with your future parents-in-law tomorrow. Although I have never met this girl Su Xiaolin in real life, but for now I

The news I received should be pretty good, at least better than the women I am planning to introduce to you."

Hu Pingtao suddenly became ashamed, hurriedly muttered a few words and hung up the phone.

…

The next day.

The person Hu Biyuan sent to deliver the goods was on time.

She prepared two gifts: a two kilogram box of grapes and two bottles of rice wine.

Hu Pingtao called his sister and told her that the items had been received.

"Xiaohu, don't look at the inconspicuous grapes and wine, but they are actually quite expensive. Our company expanded its business scope in the past few years and bought a piece of land in a suburban county to engage in green planting. The grapes were introduced from the island country and were closely related to the provincial farmers.

It is an improved variety developed in cooperation with experts from the Academy of Sciences and based on local soil conditions. It has been planted for four years and the fruit began to be harvested last year. It is very sweet and has a unique taste and texture. Since there are not many grown, we generally treat it as a bonus.

It is distributed to company employees, and the remaining portion is supplied to the market. The quantity is very small, and the price is about 200 yuan per kilogram."

"Last year I was discussing business in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the customer gave me two boxes of cellared rice wine. He used to be a wine company, and people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang like to drink rice wine. You know Ner Hong, that is typical cellared rice wine. This wine is

The customer makes his own wine. He makes wine every year, once every twelve years. I gave Dad a box and gave these two bottles to you. Even though this wine has no trademark, it tastes very good, and you can’t buy it outside.

arrive."

Hu Pingtao was filled with gratitude. He took the phone and said sincerely: "Sister, thank you."

"Why are you thanking me? One family doesn't speak the same language." Hu Biyuan smiled happily on the phone: "Get ready, wash your face, put on a new set of clothes. I tell you, hurry up

When time comes to marry Su Xiaolin and give birth to a fat boy, dad won’t pay that much attention to you. Doesn’t he like to train new recruits? Give him a few more children. Besides, the country has relaxed its fertility policy, and there will be more grandchildren to accompany dad.

, he doesn’t pay that much attention to you.”

Hu Pingtao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister, you don't even have to write a single horoscope!"

"Then you should try your best to write the word "eight"!" Hu Biyuan said domineeringly: "People in our family are never afraid of getting into trouble, so don't be a coward. Since you have fallen in love with a girl, don't hesitate.

Use force, use force, use tactics when necessary. I support you, I will take down Amelia Su within a month at most."

…

After lunch in the cafeteria, Su Xiaolin called at about one o'clock and said that she was outside the police station and that she would not drive in because it was troublesome to park.

Hu Pingtao took the gift and hurriedly walked out of the small door of the duty room and got into Su Xiaolin's Peugeot car.

The sun was dazzling, and she was wearing sunglasses. She watched Hu Pingtao open the back door of the car, put things on the back seat, then walked to the front and sat in the passenger seat. She couldn't help but smile and said: "It's rare, you have new clothes?"

Hu Pingtao looked down at his brand-new uniform and said seriously: "For an occasion like today, of course it should be more formal."

Hearing this, Su Xiaolin couldn't help but feel happy.

She raised her fingers at Hu Pingtao and said, "Come here."

Hu Pingtao was puzzled: "What?"

Su Xiaolin ordered arrogantly: "I asked you to come over."

Women are unreasonable at this time. Hu Pingtao thought she was going to whisper to him, so he leaned his head obediently. Unexpectedly, Su Xiaolin held his head with both hands, turned it slightly to the side, and pressed her soft lips

Go over and give him a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Hu Pingtao's heart was filled with excitement.

Su Xiaolin didn't give him another chance, she released the handbrake, pressed the engine start button without hesitation, and drove away with a loud and happy laugh.

…

In recent years, the provincial capital has been developing and building new urban areas. The Su family bought a new house in the north of the city. It is large in size and has good lighting and comfort.

After entering the house, Su Xiaolin introduced Hu Pingtao one by one.

"This is my dad."

"This is my mother."

"This is my cousin and my cousin's husband."

"Hello, uncle and aunt." Hu Pingtao said hello in sequence with a smile.

Su Mu is Su Xiaolin's father. Although his hair is a little gray, he is in good spirits. In fact, it was Su Xiaolin's idea to bring Hu Pingtao home for dinner today. She told her parents the day before yesterday that Su Mu thought it was best to

The daughter makes her own decision, and the best she and her old wife can do is to help check it. It doesn't matter if she meets the boyfriend her daughter likes in advance. If she doesn't like him, it's still too late to persuade her daughter.

Chen Jun is Su Xiaolin's mother. She is slightly chubby and wears glasses. Ever since Hu Pingtao walked in, she has been looking at the young man with a look of satisfaction on her face.

Su Xiaolin has communicated with her mother many times on the issue of love. She showed Chen Jun a photo of Hu Pingtao and told Chen Jun what happened in Lijiang last time. A mother always loves her daughter the most, and she has not yet met her.

, Chen Jun has already accepted Hu Pingtao seven to eight points in his heart.

"Don't be so formal. Come on, come on, sit down." Su Mu smiled and asked Hu Pingtao to sit on the chair opposite him.

There are melon seeds and sugar on the table, as well as a plate of cut fruits.

Su Xiaolin brought a cup of steaming green tea and sat down next to Hu Pingtao.

Appearance is very important - Hu Pingtao's elegant demeanor and brand-new uniform added a lot to his overall appearance. Su's father and mother Su's overall impression of him was very good.

Looking at the trainee police badge on his shoulder, Su Mu smiled and said, "I heard from Linlin that you were a civil servant who passed the exam last year?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Yes. I just graduated last year."

"which university?"

"Art Institute."

Su Mu suddenly became interested: "What major do you major in?"

Hu Pingtao said: "I majored in art, oil painting."

"Then we are half colleagues." The smile on Su Mu's face deepened: "I am in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and I often deal with people from the Art Association."

Hu Pingtao also laughed: "My teacher is Yang Chaodong. I heard that he is the vice chairman of the Municipal Artists Association."

"Lao Yang is very familiar with me. We drank together the day before yesterday." Su Mu said with a smile: "If I had known that you two had a teacher-student relationship, I should have called him over today."

With common topics, the atmosphere becomes harmonious.

"There is no distinction between calligraphy and painting. Xiaohu, how is your calligraphy?"

"I've been practicing for a few years, so it's okay!"

"Let's go, come with me to the study and write for me."

With that said, Su Mu stood up and led Hu Pingtao into the study.
