Chapter 82 Gifts(1/2)
Zhenjiang, Shi Yi’s uncle’s home.
Shi Yi's uncle Shi Feng came out of the kitchen with a plate of washed fruits, put the fruits on the table, sat down and said to Shi Qin and Jian Cong: "This Qingming Festival, I have an old man
My friend’s son also came back to worship his ancestors.”
As he spoke, he turned to look at Shi Yi and said, "I've known this kid for a long time. He joined his family's factory after graduating from graduate school and started working in sales step by step. He doesn't have the airs of the boss's son at all. He has a stable personality.
And he’s very motivated.”
Shi Yi glanced at her uncle. Shi Feng was very kind to her and cared about her. He would introduce her to all kinds of high-quality boys whenever he had the opportunity during holidays.
Occasionally she would go to meet him out of favor and deal with it, but this time there was no need for it.
"Uncle, I..."
Shi Qin's voice overcame Shi Yi: "What does this young man do at home?"
"He runs a leather bag company."
"A leather bag company?" Jian Cong said with a surprised look on his face.
Shi Feng knew from Jian Cong's face that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly added: "It's a company that produces leather bags. Blame me, blame me, the expression is wrong."
Jian Cong and Shi Qin both laughed after hearing Shi Feng's explanation.
Shi Feng continued to look at Shi Yi and said: "There is a large-scale investment fair in Zhenjiang recently. Your dad also knows about it. This boy will also go there. If you have time, just follow me and I will introduce you two to each other.
.”
Shi Qin and Jian Cong both nodded after hearing this. Jian Cong said, "You and your uncle should go meet that boy. Even if you don't like him, it would be good to get to know more people."
Jian Cong knew that her daughter had social anxiety, and as a mother she didn't want to force her, but the fact of Shi Yi's love and marriage really worried her.
She was afraid that Shi Yi's vision was too high and would not get married, and she was also afraid that because she was too beautiful, she would be chased by powerful people and be deceived into doing bad things.
So she still hopes that Shi Yi can meet more down-to-earth boys. She doesn't expect her daughter to marry into a wealthy family, she just wants her to live a peaceful and happy life.
Shi Yi intertwined his hands and fingers and looked at the people in the room: "Mom, dad, uncle, aunt, you don't need to introduce me to a boyfriend anymore. I have a boyfriend."
Everyone in the room looked at each other in surprise, exchanged glances, and confirmed that no one knew the news.
Shi Feng's daughter Shi Yuanyuan opened the door and rushed out of the room. She looked at Shi Yi with surprise on her face and shouted, "Sister, do you have a boyfriend? Is he handsome?"
Just when Shi Yi was about to answer, the aunt scolded Shi Yuanyuan: "Aren't you doing homework in the room? Why are you still eavesdropping? Let me tell you, you have reread it, and the most important thing now is
Study and don’t worry too much about other things. Now go back to your room and read.”
"I'm not eavesdropping, it's because the soundproofing here is too poor." Shi Yuanyuan retorted with a sullen mouth, but she still turned around and walked back to the room, closing the door.
But as soon as the door was closed, Shi Yuanyuan's expression changed, and she put her ear to the door with a curious look on her face.
After this episode ended, everyone in the living room continued to talk about Shi Yi's boyfriend.
Regarding the news announced by Shi Yi, Jian Cong was both happy and worried. She looked at Shi Yi and said, "It's a good thing for you to have a boyfriend. But it's best to bring him over and let mom and dad take a look first. Mom doesn't object to your boyfriend.
Friend, but we have to help you check it first."
Shi Qin nodded in agreement: "Yes, your mother is right. Where is this boy from? Is he in Shanghai? You can find a time to invite him to our house for a meal."
There was a hint of sourness in Shi Qin's words. The little cabbage he had raised for more than twenty years felt like it was about to be taken away. Shi Qin still felt very complicated.
Shi Yi shook his head: "He is not from Shanghai, his hometown is Zhenjiang. He also came back this time to worship ancestors during the Qingming Festival. Before he came back, he told me that he wanted to see when you were free, and he wanted to come and visit.
.”
Shi Feng patted his thigh: "Fellow, this is good. Brother, we have finished worshiping our ancestors today. We have nothing to do tomorrow. Why don't we ask Shi Yi's boyfriend to come over tomorrow?"
"Yes, you ask, if he has time tomorrow, let him have lunch." Jian Cong agreed.
"Okay, then I'll call him to confirm." Shi Yi smiled and nodded, stood up and went to the balcony to make a phone call. After a while, he returned to the living room and looked at everyone and said, "He said he would be here tomorrow morning.
I’ll come over at ten o’clock.”
"Okay, then I'll go to the vegetable market tomorrow to buy some good food, and then I'll give you a good reception," the aunt said.
Jian Cong looked at her aunt and said, "Then I'll go shopping with you tomorrow." After saying that, she waved to Shi Yi and motioned for her to sit down.
After Shi Yi sat down, Jian Congcai continued: "First, please introduce us to your boyfriend. What does he do? What is the situation at home? How long have you two been together? And...
.”
"Hey, you asked so many questions at once, which one do you want your daughter to answer first?" Shi Qin interrupted Jian Cong with a smile.
Shi Yi said good things to a few people: "He is a doctor and now works in a hospital in Shanghai. He also likes dubbing in his spare time, which is how we got to know each other. We are only a few people together.
Yue, so I am not in a hurry to tell you."
Several people's faces looked much better after hearing this. Judging from their work, there was nothing to be picky about.
"So how is his family situation?" Jian Cong asked next.
"His parents passed away very early, and his grandparents are no longer here, but he still has a stepmother, a second uncle, and a grandmother who are very good to him. In addition, he also has a younger brother and a younger sister.
I met these two before when I was in Shanghai, and they are both very good people."
The Zhou family's situation was too complicated, and it took Shi Yi herself a lot of time to sort it out and accept it. She didn't want her parents to worry, so she always said nice things.
But even so, Jian Cong and Shi Qin's faces were a bit unsightly. The other relatives of the man were fine, but it was the stepmother who made them feel a little uneasy.
Especially Jian Cong, who likes to watch dramas after she retires. There are many vicious stepmothers in TV dramas and movies. As soon as Shi Yi mentioned this word, she could immediately think of several TV dramas in her mind: "Stairway to Heaven", "
"Wrong Love", "Brilliant Legacy"....
After hesitating for a moment, Jian Cong still didn't ask this question. Thinking that she would pay more attention when she had the opportunity to meet the other person's parents later, she changed the question: "So, is he good to you?"
"Yes!" Shi Yi's reply was in a particularly high-pitched and powerful voice: "I am often very busy at work until late, but no matter how late it is, he will come to pick me up."
"He would bring me breakfast every morning or make breakfast for me."
"He knows that I don't like washing things, so he does all the dishes, vegetables, and fruits."
"Whenever I get sick from a cold, he will always be by my side to take care of me."
"..."
Jian Cong and Shi Qin had never seen their daughter talk so much except about work matters.
I have never seen her face be filled with happiness when she mentioned another person.
The two looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths turned up. It seemed that this daughter had met her own happiness.
........
The next morning.
He Tian arrived downstairs at Uncle Shi Yi's house half an hour early. He sat in the car, looked at Uncle Shi Yi's house through the car window, and silently reviewed the manuscript he had prepared in his mind.
Uncle Lin looked at He Tian through the mirror, smiled and explained: "Xiao Chen, you don't have to be so nervous. Didn't we check the information? Everyone in their family is not difficult to get along with."
He Tian ignored him. It was easy to say. Which boy wouldn't be nervous when meeting his father-in-law and mother-in-law for the first time?
Although the original host's first visit in the drama went smoothly and He Tian believed that he could handle Shi Yi's parents, He Tian couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to sleep all night last night.
Suddenly, there was a sound of tapping on the car window. He Tian turned his head and saw Shi Yi's smiling face.
Pushing open the car door, He Tian walked out and looked at Shi Yi in surprise: "Why did you get down so early?"
Shi Yi smiled and said: "I just looked down from the balcony upstairs and saw your car at a glance. I knew you were coming. Didn't you say ten o'clock? It's only nine-thirty now."
"This is the first time I met your parents. I thought arriving early would show more respect for them. But it was a bit too early, so I thought I would go up later."
Shi Yi nodded with satisfaction and asked curiously: "Are you nervous?"
He Tian nodded without concealment.
Shi Yi looked at He Tian, walked forward and hugged him with both hands, raised his head and looked at him and smiled: "Don't worry, my parents are very easy to talk to. Besides, I will only consider you as my parents in this life."
If you don’t agree, I won’t leave you.”
He Tian looked into Shi Yi's eyes and made a decision in his heart.
"Shi Yi, after meeting your parents this time, can you please take two days off? I want to take you somewhere."
"It's okay to ask for leave. I just need to tell Meilin. But where are you taking me?"
"It will be kept secret for now. You will know when the time comes."
Shi Yi glanced at the mysterious He Tian, suppressed his curiosity, and nodded.
"Let's go up. I told my parents you were coming when I came down. They should be ready by now."
"Yes." He Tian took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to hold Shi Yi's hand, and went upstairs with her. Uncle Lin followed behind with a few servants carrying some gifts.
.........
Uncle Shi Yi, aunt Shi Yi, and cousin Shi Yuanyuan were all sitting on the sofa in the living room, dumbfounded as they watched Uncle Lin direct the servants to place gifts one by one on the table in front of the sofa.
Several people thought that only He Tian came to the door with some gifts, but they didn't expect that the battle looked so big.
Although Shi Yi's parents were a little surprised, their main attention was not on the gifts and the servants, but on He Tian in surprise.
Shi Yi was a little surprised by his parents' gazes, but he thought he was just frightened by the people and gifts brought by He Tian. He smiled and introduced everyone: "This is Zhou birthday."
