Chapter 2 Talking about marriage and meeting parents

Early the next morning, when Cheng Yu'an woke up, Dong Xuan who was sleeping beside him had already left.

She is going out to shoot an advertisement today.

After Cheng Yu'an washed up and walked out of the room, Qin Ranqiu was sitting at the table having breakfast.

"It's just right, I bought you steamed stuffed buns, eat them while they're hot." He took a sip of porridge as he spoke.

"I really think of me as your home." Cheng Yu'an took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun.

"Why do we share yours and mine?" Qin Ranqiu put some small pickles into Cheng Yu'an's bowl.

"Such a small thing will send me away!"

"Oh, by the way, come out with me later and introduce you to a job."

"What job?" Cheng Yu'an asked while eating.

"Does the crew of "Dragon Ba Bu" know?"

"Who doesn't know about Zhang's bearded drama." Every remake of Jin Yong's drama can attract a lot of attention.

"I made some connections, and the two of us will work as assistants for others. 5 yuan for two months."

"Okay! It's quiet."

"That's right, you think I can only pick up girls. Eat quickly, and leave after eating."

Cheng Yu'an didn't ask Qin Ranqiu how he did it, but he boasted first:
"I met Director Yu Min at a drinking party before. After drinking with him for three days, I finally pried his mouth open."

Yu Min is the director of Zhang Dazi. He has cooperated since "Heroes and Daughters of Yongle".

Although people all over the country know that the head of the production team of "Dragon Babu" is Zhang Dazizi, but as a director, he still has the power he should have, and no one will say anything when he arranges two assistants to join the crew.

The two came to an office building, successfully met Director Yu Min, and had a chat.

Yu Min found out that Cheng Yu'an graduated with a major in directing and studied under Professor Hou Keming, so he didn't say much, and immediately agreed to arrange for the two to join the team.

Cheng Yu'an was the director's assistant and was named as the deputy director; Qin Ranqiu was the camera assistant.

This kind of opportunity is very precious for newcomers who have just entered the industry. How many newcomers can join the crew of Zhang Beard to shoot Jin Yong dramas right after graduation?

After agreeing on a time to join the group, the two bid farewell to Director Yu Min and planned to find a place to celebrate.

When Dong Xuan came back at night, his expression was not very good-looking, but Cheng Yu'an, who was immersed in excitement, did not notice the change of his girlfriend, and was happily introducing the crew of "Tian Long Ba Bu" to Dong Xuan.

Dong Xuan put on a happy face and asked, "When will you join the group?"

"In two days, I have to go to Zhejiang and Yunnan with the crew."

"Then how long are you going?" Dong Xuan took Cheng Yu'an's hand.

"It should take two or three months." Cheng Yu'an finally saw something wrong with the girl's face while being happy, and asked, "What's wrong? You're crying."

Cheng Yu'an shaves Dong Xuan's face, and the girl finally said: "Yu'an, my parents will come to the capital tomorrow and say they want to see you."

"Ah!" The news came so suddenly that Cheng Yu'an was not prepared at all, "Why come at this time, I am not prepared at all."

"My parents deliberately kept it from me, and I just found out." The girl leaned into Cheng Yu'an's arms, "They knew we were together and said they wanted to see you."

Cheng Yu'an put his arms around Dong Xuan, thought for a while, and said, "Okay! When will the elders arrive, we'll pick them up."

Dong Xuan punched Cheng Yu'an with a light hammer, and said angrily, "What two elders, my parents are not even 50. They will be there tomorrow afternoon."

"Then hurry up and pick out presents. What does your father like? Tea or wine? Where's your mother? How about buying a bag?" Cheng Yu'an said while pulling Dong Xuan out.

When Dong Xuan was thinking about this matter during the day, he was worried that it would happen suddenly, and Cheng Yu'an was afraid to meet people, but now seeing his boyfriend so open and positive, he felt safe in his heart.

The two went out for a night, bought a belt for Dong's father, bought a string of bracelets for Dong's mother, and spent more than 7000 yuan.

Dong Xuan felt distressed and said that there is no need to buy such an expensive one.

But Cheng Yu'an felt: "It's been so hard for me to serve the second elder comfortably? This is why many people don't blame Li Duo."

Dong Xuan said no, but in his heart it was as if he had eaten honey. The boyfriend is so generous to his parents, which shows his heart, and now he feels more and more that he has chosen the right person.

In the afternoon of the second day, the two of them had a great bath together, and they looked brand new from top to bottom, from the inside out.

Only then did he drive his own little Xiali car to the train station to pick him up.

Dong Xuan held Cheng Yu'an's arm and waited for someone at the exit, standing on tiptoe from time to time to look inside.

After a while, a smile spread across Dong Xuan's face, Xiao jumped up and waved his hands: "Dad, Mom, here!"

Cheng Yu'an also noticed a middle-aged couple in the crowd looking towards him. Father Dong is tall and straight, and his figure is also in good shape. He is not fat, and he is a middle-aged handsome guy.Dong's mother put on makeup and was a little fat, but she had a good temperament.

According to Dong Xuan, his mother was also a dancer when she was young.

Dong's father and Dong's mother approached, looking at their precious daughter with joy, holding hands and refusing to let go.

Dong Xuan took the opportunity to introduce: "Mom and Dad, this is Cheng Yu'an, my boyfriend."

"Hello, Uncle and Auntie, I'm Cheng Yu'an. It's been a hard journey all the way." Cheng Yu'an said as he took the luggage from the two of them.

It would be a lie to say that you are not nervous. Cheng Yu'an is a human being. When he saw the woman's parents for the first time, his heart jumped in his throat.

On this hot day, cold sweat started to break out on my back.

Cheng Yu'an dragged the luggage and led the three of them to the parking lot. For a short distance, Cheng Yu'an walked in fear.

Dong's mother liked Cheng Yu'an very much when she saw it, and kept talking to him: "Young man is really energetic. I heard from Huanhuan that you are only 20 years old this year."

"Yes, I was born in 82, and I studied early. I just graduated this year." Cheng Yu'an thought he could deal with it calmly, but when he really spoke, he just asked and answered mechanically.

"It's good to be young and energetic. Let's have a good time. It's just that dancing was delayed for a few years when I was a child, so I'm 23 years old and haven't graduated from university yet."

"Mom!" Dong Xuan was unhappy.

……

After sending Dong's father and mother to the hotel, Dong Xuan stayed with his parents, and Cheng Yu'an left, leaving time for the family to talk privately.

"I think the young man is very nice." As soon as Cheng Yu'an left, Mama Dong was full of praise for him.

Dong Xuan sat on the edge of the bed with his head bowed, his cheeks were flushed and he didn't speak.

"He looks good, Huanhuan, he has 183, right?" Mother Dong said while looking at the bracelet Cheng Yuan gave her in the mirror.

"Yu'an's height is 185." Dong Xuan answered honestly.

Dong's father also nodded. In terms of appearance, Cheng Yu'an is indeed impeccable: "What's the use of a man's appearance, he must have a brain."

"Why have no brains?" Mother Dong said, "You didn't hear people say that they studied early and were admitted to the Film Academy at the age of 16. It means that this child is smart."

"How come Clever hasn't found a job after graduating? He's still running around with production crews." Father Dong's words hit the mark.

Dong's mother could only say: "You're only 20 years old, what's the rush. You're still 20 years old and you're still playing in the troupe."

The family chatted for a long time in the hotel room, and they settled the matter of Dong Xuan and Cheng Yu'an being together.

"My silly boy, how can you live with him!" Dong's father reacted very strongly to this matter.

"Parents are not the kind of people who don't understand. Parents understand what happens when the relationship is deep, but why are you... Why don't you discuss such a big matter with your parents."

Dong Xuan had never been trained like this by his parents, and suddenly he burst into tears.

Dong's father didn't have a good look at Cheng Yu'an at first, and now he felt that he had lied to his daughter: "I said at the beginning not to take the test in the capital city, but now it's okay, my daughter has been deceived!"

Although Dong's mother is also dissatisfied with the cohabitation, after all, it is too late to scold her daughter.

She only thought that since they were living together, if the two agreed, they should settle the matter as soon as possible so that it would not be a reality.

In the evening, Cheng Yu'an came to pick up the three of them for dinner.

As soon as she got into the car, Yu'an found that the atmosphere was not right. Dong's father still didn't treat her well, and Dong's mother didn't talk so much. Dong Xuan sat alone in the co-pilot and tilted his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

When they came to the restaurant, everyone sat down, and their faces looked a little better.

Dong's mother pulled Cheng Yu'an to ask east and west to find out about his family's situation.

"Father is gone, and mother is still there, but she is away from home all the year round, and I haven't seen each other for several years.

"It's not that I don't want to, something happened at home in the early years, and my mother didn't want to see us.

"Growing up with my grandfather, I returned to China at the age of 16 and was admitted to the Film Academy.

"Grandpa is in good health, but he is getting old after all, and now he is recuperating in the United States.

"I can make my own decisions."

Cheng Yu'an told her basic situation, and finally, Mother Dong asked again: "I don't know how your current financial situation is, Xiao Cheng."

Cheng Yu'an replied: "Auntie, it's like this, I bought a house in Haidian and Chaoyang two months ago..."

"Huh?" Dong Xuan responded, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Don't you want to surprise you?" Cheng Yu'an said with a smile.

He earned the money to buy the house through the Korea-Japan World Cup, and South Korea's black whistle made him a lot of money.

"I really don't have much money now, here is 20." Cheng Yu'an rolled out his bank card, "If Auntie doesn't mind, I'll leave it to you."

Mother Dong knew that receiving the money meant that she agreed with the two of them. Although she liked Cheng Yu'an very much, it was a major event in her daughter's life after all, and there was no room for sloppiness.

Dong's mother was indecisive, and Dong's father said: "Xiao Cheng, there is no rush for this, you are still young." Then he smiled and pushed the bank card back.

Dong Xuan was taken aback, now she wished that her parents would take the money, so that she could be with Cheng Yu'an in an open and honest manner.

Cheng Yu'an was also stunned, then quickly controlled his expression, and said with a smile: "Uncle is right, there is no rush. Let's eat first. The shrimp here is very good. Uncle and auntie, try it."

There was talk and laughter throughout the meal, but Dong's father expressed his dissatisfaction with Cheng Yu'an both openly and secretly.

"Men still need a legitimate and stable job."

"Our family, Huanhuan, has been spoiled by us since she was a child. We need to find a mature and stable person to take care of her."

　New people, new books, new atmosphere.
