The meaning of going home is that no matter how late it is, there is always someone waiting and there is always a light on.
When parents are there, home is there.
Just like Liu Shuxin, no matter how luxurious and convenient the high-end residential areas in the city are, celebrating the New Year in the city just doesn't have the same flavor as his hometown in the countryside.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back."
Before the car stopped, Liu Shuxin rushed over first, jumping up and down, and jumped into the arms of the two good people. She was extremely excited. How could she be as steady as the cold-faced female CEO?
In front of her parents, she will always be a child who will never grow up.
Qin Shiming parked the car on the side of the road, took down the gifts such as tobacco, wine, fruits and so on that he had prepared in advance, and then stepped forward to say hello.
"Hello, uncle and aunt."
Qin Shiming came forward and bowed to say hello, with a smile on his face.
"Mom and Dad, this is my boyfriend Qin Shiming, how do you feel? He looks handsome."
Liu Shuxin naturally took Qin Shiming's arm and leaned on his shoulder.
"Okay, okay, come in, come in, let's go in and talk slowly."
The old couple smiled from ear to ear and led Qin Shiming and Liu Shuxin into the courtyard.
Although the house is not big and slightly low, it has a unique style.
The whole house is made of stones, a small courtyard with carved patterns on the bluestone floor. On one side is a small stone mill, on the other side is a small stone table, and behind the door on the left is a large water tank and a laundry table.
Facing the main room in the middle, there are bedrooms and wing rooms on both sides, and further back are pig pens, cattle pens, and toilets. Although it is small, it is clean and exquisite.
"Come on, come on, Xiao Qin, you are tired from driving all the way. Let's eat first."
Liu Shuxin's father is Liu Jianguo. He is in his early fifties. He is not tall and thin, but his bronze skin makes him look particularly capable. His face is full of vicissitudes and is full of smiles.
Can the old couple not be excited when they finally see their daughter bringing her partner home?
"Old lady, what are you still doing? Your future uncle is coming to your door. Go and heat up the food quickly and prepare to eat right away."
Liu Jianguo urged Liu Shuxin's mother Wang Shufen.
"By the way, bring the wine that my wife bought the year before last and pour it on."
"Okay, okay, you guys sit down, the food will be ready soon."
Wang Shufen took two steps, then turned back and waved to her daughter, "Nizi, come and help mom."
"good."
Liu Shuxin winked at Qin Shiming and said, "Shiming, you chat with my dad first, and I'll get some food with my mom."
"Um."
Qin Shiming had a faint smile on his face, then took out the Huazi he had prepared in advance and handed one to Liu Jianguo.
"Hey, you have a handle, these cigarettes are not cheap."
Liu Jianguo took it, glanced at it, sniffed it, and then put it in his mouth.
"It's okay, as long as uncle likes it, I'll buy you some more later."
Qin Shiming understands the rules and mainly wants to please Liu Jianguo. He may not be able to give Liu Shuxin status, but the relationship between the two is better than that of ordinary couples.
Qin Shiming did have a playful attitude before, but to be a scumbag you have to have good character, be obsessed with sex beforehand, be like a Buddha afterwards, and not take girls seriously, right?
"No, no, no, I usually roll my own cigarettes. I have been rolling them for decades. They are pretty good. One roll lasts me half a year." Liu Jianguo pointed to the old cigarette pouch on his waist.
"Xiao Qin, where are you from?"
After a few small talk, Liu Jianguo asked with a smile.
Qin Shiming understood that this was about investigating the family situation.
"My parents are ordinary retired workers in Jianghai City. They have pensions and pensions. I have a little niece. My elder brother and sister-in-law had an accident a few years ago and passed away. We have a ready-made house at home."
"Then your conditions are very good."
Liu Jianguo asked: "When did you and my Nizi start dating?"
"it's been a while."
Qin Shiming thought of Chen Liang, Liu Shuxin's past fiancé, who had been beaten up for treating Liu Shuxin's illness. He must have become his fiancé. Liu Jianguo and his wife must know this person, so he said: "Because of the relationship with Shu Xin
We are colleagues, we have a lot of contact at work, and we know each other very well. We thought they were a good fit, so we got together."
"Uncle, I know what you are worried about."
Qin Shiming understands the rules of meeting parents. As a parent, if you want to find a suitable partner for your children, you will naturally have to examine, inquire, and even inquire in many ways, just like Ling Mi's father, Ling Shixiong.
Of course, Ling Shixiong wouldn't have so many questions waiting to be asked. With Ling Shixiong's ability, it would be easy for him to investigate a person.
Long before Qin Shiming went to Wu Xi, Ling Shixiong had already investigated clearly. Do you still need to ask?
The old couple Liu Jianguo and Wang Shufen are completely different. They are farmers, living in a small stone village with poor traffic and late information. The farthest place the two old people have ever been in their lives is Fangping County, and their connections are limited to
Little Stone Village.
How to investigate?
We can only ask, we can only observe words and expressions, and consider people with the eyes of the older generation.
Instead of Liu Jianguo being embarrassed to ask and test, Qin Shiming took the initiative to explain the problem.
"Uncle, although my parents are retired workers, they also farmed in the countryside in the past. They have always taught me to be down-to-earth. My parents have also met Shuxin and they are very satisfied with Shuxin."
"Of course, my feelings for Shuxin are also true. At work, Shuxin is calm, experienced and quick-thinking. In life, she is kind, gentle and virtuous. To tell you the truth, Shuxin and I bought a house in Jianghai
, In addition to meeting you two old people when I come back this time, I plan to take you all to the city."
"It is not easy to cultivate a scholar. It has taken you and your wife a lifetime to support a college student with your face turned to the earth and your back turned to the sky. Now it is your turn to enjoy the blessing."
"It's useless to say so much. Anyway, if you take your time and take a look, you will know later whether I am sincere to Shuxin."
There is no oath of eternal love, no pledge of confidence, the words are very simple, but they are very popular.
"What are we going to do in the city? It's nice to stay in the country."
Sure enough, Liu Jianguo was so happy that he couldn't help but look at Qin Shiming nodding his head frequently.
The young man has an upright face and is tall and handsome. Although he is from the city, he dresses simply and does not show any disgust when he comes home. This is good.
At this time, Wang Shufen and her daughter Liu Shuxin were also communicating in the kitchen.
"What? Xiao Qin is your boss?"
When Wang Shufen heard this, her hand holding the bowl froze, "So he is the big boss?"
"Yes, big boss."
Liu Shuxin thought for a while, "Our company is worth three to five billion, so it's not an exaggeration to say that he is the big boss."
"hiss!"
Wang Shufen took a breath of cold air, and then said: "Nizi, why don't you stop it? Our family is just farmers and we can't reach high places. As the old saying goes, a wealthy family is as deep as the sea. If you want to marry into it, others will still think it's wrong."
It seems that you are interested in Xiao Qin's money."
"Mom, Shiming and I are really together, not just for money."
Liu Shuxin said: "And your daughter is also very capable, okay? I dare not say anything else. She can still earn three to five million a year."
"Nizi, please tell mom the truth."
Wang Shufen thought of some plots in the TV series, pulled her daughter and whispered: "You, you didn't fall in love with his money and then worked as his mistress, right?"
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Shuxin rolled her eyes, but she actually felt guilty. Wasn't she just a mistress?
