Chapter 162: The son-in-law meets his mother-in-law (the second watch arrives)
"My dad asked me to come back to my house with you tonight?" Dongfang Xiaoling's eyes widened and asked in disbelief.
Lin Hongfei nodded, although his heart was full of wry smiles, but at this time, he had to try to pretend to be very happy, "Your father said it in front of me, can that be wrong?" β
"That ......" Almost in the blink of an eye, Dongfang Xiaoling understood what her old man meant, her little face turned red, her tongue only stumbled, and her voice suddenly became as small as a mosquito humming, "That's ...... You say, does my dad know about us? But I never talked about you at home, how could he know the truth? β
"It must be Zhiludao," isn't this nonsense, Lin Hongfei nodded affirmatively, "Even if you do a good job of keeping secrets at home, isn't Secretary Fan Zhiludao?" β
"That's right!" Dongfang Xiaoling, who was full of reasons for her shyness, found her target immediately, and gritted her teeth and said, "It must be him!" I told him not to tell my mom and dad for the time being, this traitor! β
"I can't blame Secretary Fan entirely, I have to find a chance to ask Secretary Fan out for dinner tomorrow," although his stomach was already worried, Lin Hongfei still had a very smug expression, "Secretary Fan is a brief introduction who helped me a favor, isn't ......"
"I asked you to help, I asked you to help......" The little girl's mind was very shy at this time, Lin Hongfei smiled, Dongfang Xiaoling's face was a little unbearable, and she slapped Lin Hongfei a few times with a red face.
Lin Hongfei screamed twice, and hurriedly got up to dodge. While hiding, he shouted proudly, "Murder my husband, murder my husband......"
After laughing for a while, the two glanced at each other. Suddenly laughed, the two people, who had been engaged in "underground work", suddenly had a feeling that they could see the moon when the clouds were open: Finally, they did not have to secretly engage in underground work, and they could change from guerrillas to regular troops.
Lin Hongfei and Dongfang Xiaoling have just graduated, they are still young, and there are not many people who "care" about the marriage of the two, and the two have not listened to others nagging every day, "Do you have a partner?" "I know that there is a child in the XXX family, which is very good. Introducing you to an introduction? Something like that, it's devastating. But even so, Lin Hongfei is better, Dongfang Xiaoling's mother has nagged this girl's marriage several times, and this girl is now a little afraid of staying alone with her mother. Now, as long as the family agrees...... Based on the current situation, it is unlikely that the family will disagree...... In the future, I can happily stay away from my mother's nagging.
Poor Dongfang Xiaoling, I don't know what to do, Mo said that he is just with Lin Hongfei now. After that, I got engaged and married, and there were many times when I was nagged.
After laughing for a while, Lin Hongfei was apprehensive in his heart, and couldn't help but ask Dongfang Xiaoling. "Xiaoling, you say. What should I bring with me to your house this time? Did your dad and mom shy away from it? β
In 91, there will be no such thing as "giving gifts and giving XX gold". Giving gifts to people is really an unusual headache, this time I went to Dongfang Xiaoling's house, with a bit of "interview" flavor, Rao is Lin Hongfei is not small, but he is also nervous to death at this time.
"How do I know what to bring with me?" Dongfang Xiaoling was also a little nervous and shy, but in the face of major events related to her lifelong happiness, the girl couldn't care about being shy and nervous, thought about it, and replied, "But if you want to avoid it, the gift you bring must not be too valuable." β
Gifts can not be too expensive, this is naturally a matter of course, Dongfang is the secretary of the municipal party committee, high power, if the secretary of the East has lower requirements for himself on weekdays, at this time to send some gifts of higher value, but the secretary of the East is extremely strict with his own and his family, and will never accept expensive gifts.
β¦,
It is the New Year's Festival and other times, considering the reason of unity comrades, because of the need to socialize some gifts, but also made strict regulations on the value of gifts, who bring gifts of more than 300 yuan are not allowed to come to the door...... 300 yuan is indeed a huge amount for ordinary people, but for officials, large and small, it is very difficult to give a gift of 300 yuan to the secretary of the municipal party committee.
Now this problem has also stumped Lin Hongfei.
"Otherwise," Lin Hongfei pondered for a while, thought for a while, and asked Dongfang Xiaoling, "This time I went to Germany and brought back a set of cosmetics and a suit and leather shoes." Originally, the cosmetics were prepared for you, why don't you give them to your aunt this time? β
Just heard Lin Hongfei say that he brought a set of cosmetics to himself, Dongfang Xiaoling was still smiling, but when she heard Lin Hongfei say that she wanted to give it to her mother, the little girl's mouth suddenly pouted. Suits or not suits, Dongfang Xiaoling is not interested, she is more concerned about the set of cosmetics that should belong to her, and said unhappily, "Give it to my mother, then what should I do?" β
Lin Hongfei shouted in his heart: What cosmetics do you mention at this time? How can we forget the lethality of cosmetics, especially foreign cosmetics, on women? But since the words have already been spoken, it is no longer possible not to say it, Lin Hongfei's brain suddenly ran rapidly, "After a while, the president of Fidel Industrial Wages, Holger. Broich is coming to us, and I'll ask him to bring you two more...... Okay, don't be depressed, half a month at most, Holger. Broich is coming to our North County. β
"This Holger. Broich and you don't have an ordinary relationship, right? Dongfang Xiaoling looked at Lin Hongfei with a smile. Others don't know what's going on, but Lin Hongfei has already told himself the whole plan, as soon as Lin Hongfei talked about this person, Dongfang Xiaoling smiled.
It's just that while laughing, Dongfang Xiaoling's heart was more shocked, she didn't expect that such a difficult thing really made Lin Hongfei do it, how did he do it? !
"Hehe......" Lin Hongfei just laughed and didn't speak.
"Forget it, if you don't say it, I'm too lazy to listen," Dongfang Xiaoling waved her hand impatiently, and the "coquettish" bargained with Lin Hongfei, "I thought about it, this Holger. When Broich comes, he will bring me a set of LancΓ΄me and a set of Estee Lauder! β
Lin Hongfei felt extremely good in his heart. Although LancΓ΄me and Estee Lauder are the top cosmetics in the world, most domestic girls have not even heard of the names of LancΓ΄me and Estee Lauder, but with the value of Dongfang Xiaoling, there is only one set of LancΓ΄me and one set of Estee Lauder cosmetics. Naturally, this girl said this, which is to acquiesce to her move to please her future mother-in-law with her girlfriend's things, and more importantly, this girl doesn't want to feel guilty about her because of this incident, and deliberately uses this bargaining method to make herself more rude.
"Okay," Lin Hongfei nodded heavily, "LancΓ΄me and Estee Lauder, let's buy one each." In the future, if you use that one that is comfortable, we will use which! β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Lin Hongfei and Dongfang Xiaoling didn't know what to do, when they were discussing Dongfang Xiaoling's parents, Dongfang Xiaoling's parents were also discussing them.
"Oops, you said these two kids." Dongfang Xiaoling's mother, Wan Xiumei, was restless, stood up from the sofa for a while, sat down for a while, glanced at Dongfang Zheng uneasily, and there was no complaint in her tone. "Dongfang, what do you say is the matter with Xiaoling? If you have a friend, you will tell us, such a big girl, the person to talk to should be. Hongfei's kid is also very good, what do you think of them? Why don't you tell us? β
Secretary Dongfang, who had nothing to do and went home early, was reading a newspaper carefully, and he didn't know if Lu Dao really read it or what's going on. Anyway, this page hasn't been turned for more than half an hour, and when he heard this, Secretary Dongfang replied impatiently, "The child is older, and the child still has some worries in his heart?" Don't you know everything? β¦β¦ Well, didn't you also say that Hongfei's kid is not bad? β
β¦,
Lin Hongfei and Dongfang Xiaoling did such a good job of secrecy, not only did they hide from their own women, but even from themselves, who were fathers, and Dongfang Secretary's heart couldn't help but be sour, but in front of his mother-in-law, he always had to stand up as the head of the family, otherwise he would be ashamed.
"Not bad, not bad," Wan Xiumei didn't realize the unhappiness in Secretary Dongfang's tone, and said to herself, "But I'm a mother, I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart...... By the way, old man, what do you think we're going to have tonight? Although Hongfei's child is not the first time to come to our house, isn't this time different? β
"You let Mama Zhang look at the arrangement," Secretary Dongfang waved his hand impatiently, "It's just a guest at home, as for such a godly chatter?!" β
Wan Xiumei was immediately unhappy, "Say I'm talking about it?" I don't see how much better you are...... Forget it, I'll discuss it with Zhang's mother. β
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Although she said so, Wan Xiumei actually attaches great importance to tonight's meal, and she is the secretary of Dongfang, so why not pay attention to it?
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Lin Hongfei, who was apprehensive, got off work ahead of schedule for the first time, went to the hairdresser to sort out his hair, and went home to change his clothes, and then returned to the unit to pick up Dongfang Xiaoling and go to Dongfang Xiaoling's house together.
"Uncle Dongfang, Aunt Wan, hello." As soon as he entered the door, he bowed to Wan Xiumei and Dongfang Zheng who was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading the newspaper, and Wan Xiumei, who was busy with Lu Dao and didn't understand what Lin Hongfei didn't understand for a while.
Seeing that Lin Hongfei had cleaned up properly, and the whole person looked much more refreshed than usual, Secretary Dongfang and Wan Xiumei's eyes couldn't help but light up, and they nodded secretly in their hearts.
Although Lin Hongfei's image on weekdays is not ugly, but he has not deliberately cleaned up, now that he sees Lin Hongfei deliberately cleaned up, he feels better and better about Lin Hongfei, this is not because of anything else, but everyone understands that because Lin Hongfei came to visit today as a "quasi-son-in-law", the etiquette cannot be abolished, Lin Hongfei cleaned up well, it is not only respect for the Oriental family, but also respect for himself?
"Well, Hongfei is here, just sit down." Dongfang Zheng put down the hold in his hand and nodded lightly, people who don't know what is going on today may think that Dongfang Zheng has any opinion in Lin Hongfei's heart.
"Yes," Lin Hongfei responded, but did not sit down immediately, but respectfully presented the gift he brought with both hands, and said with a smile, "Uncle Dongfang, Aunt Wan, I don't know what to bring to you this time." Coincidentally, I went to Germany and brought back a set of cosmetics and a suit, and you can see if it is satisfactory. β
"Ah, I'm a lot older, what kind of cosmetics do I use?" Sure enough, the lethality of cosmetics to women is unparalleled, and Wan Xiumei's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard that Lin Hongfei actually brought a set of cosmetics to herself.
Speaking of which, Lin Hongfei's family background is good, and he is also a good person, if Lin Hongfei can become his son-in-law, Wan Xiumei is naturally extremely consistent in her heart, but before Lin Hongfei arrived, Wan Xiumei still had some regrets and resentments in her heart for Lin Hongfei.
Those "cuts" made when the mothers-to-be first met their sons-in-law, such as "Where is your home?" "What do your parents do?" "How many of your brothers are there?" "What do you do now?" I can't ask anything, two classmates of many years, Lin Hongfei didn't come to play at home when he was a child, and then the children grew up, Lin Hongfei didn't come to play at home much, but this year, the old man came home and said a lot about Lin Hongfei's kid, especially during this time, even I can see this kid on TV...... knows Lin Hongfei so well, so that he can't enjoy the feeling of questioning his son-in-law from above, do you say Wan Xiumei is depressed or not?
But now, finding out that Lin Hongfei actually brought him a set of cosmetics bought from Germany, An Xiumei was not calm at once.
"Aunt Wan, you are still so young, why do you say that you are old? Now is the right time for you to use cosmetics, the European concept in skin care is that after a woman has passed her girlhood, she must pay attention to the maintenance and care of her skin, and good maintenance and care can make a woman at least twenty years younger," Lin Hongfei said with a smile while glancing at Dongfang Xiaoling.
According to the agreement between the two, Dongfang Xiaoling "unceremoniously" snatched the delicate suitcase of cosmetics from Lin Hongfei's hand, and stuffed it into Wan Xiumei's hand with a smile, "Mom, you can use it if you buy it, let me tell you, Hongfei bought a complete set of French Dior, which is not easy to buy in our country, if you don't use it, give it to your daughter me?" β
"You kid, isn't that what the is yours?" Wan Xiumei obviously knew the French Dior makeup brand, and scolded Dongfang Xiaoling with a smile, but the meaning of the words was that she had already accepted the set of cosmetics sent by Lin Hongfei.
This once again verifies that the lethality of cosmetics to women is really incomparable.
