Tiger Police

Chapter 82
Hu Biyuan continued: "I've seen the photos, she's a pretty girl, she's very suitable for you. How about this, ask her out for dinner some other day, and let me meet the real person. You don't have to worry about Mom and Dad, I will tell them."

After a pause, Hu Biyuan's tone suddenly became a little puzzled: "Little Tiger, why did you call 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 there is trouble, Linlin wants me to go to her house for dinner tomorrow night."

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

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

"Hahahaha!" Hu Biyuan let out a hearty and smug laugh on the phone, and then comforted: "The son-in-law with hairy feet must come to see his mother-in-law. Don't worry! They won't eat you."

Hu Pingtao's impatient thinking gradually calmed down.He asked seriously: "Sister, I will come to the door for the first time tomorrow, 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. On time at ten o'clock in the morning Send it, I can't miss your business."

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

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

"Neither." Hu Pingtao shook his head while holding the phone in his right hand.

"It's fine if you don't say anything." Hu Biyuan said: "But I have to tell you, don't use these things to hang others, you have to say it when you have to say it. Feelings can't stand the test of material things. Listen to my 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 degree in your heart, you are not poor, and don't think that people want to be with you just for your money. Usually two When I eat out alone, be generous when paying the bill, and tell me if you don’t have enough money.”

"I see."

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

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

"You know what a fart!" Hu Biyuan said angrily on the other end of the phone: "It's two different things. It's the first time you go to someone's house to drive such a big car. Isn't it a show? If her parents ask about your job and treatment , and the garage, so you can say what you want. In short, it is best not to drive when you go to the old man’s house for the first time. But you can tell him that you have such a car when the other party asks. Eyes The shocking effect of what you see is always greater than what 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, go to bed quickly." Hu Biyuan ordered: "Raise your energy, and get through the test of your future parents-in-law tomorrow. Although I have never met a real girl Su Xiaolin, but as far as I am The news I received should be pretty good, at least better than the few girls I'm going to introduce to you."

Hu Pingtao immediately blushed, hurriedly said a few perfunctory 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 box of two kilograms of grapes and two bottles of rice wine.

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

"Xiaohu, don't look at the inconspicuous grapes and wine, they are actually quite expensive. Our company expanded its business scope a few years ago, bought a piece of land in a suburban county, and engaged in green planting. It is an improved species cultivated by experts from the Academy of Sciences in combination with local soil conditions. It has been planted for four years, and the fruit began to harvest last year. The sweetness is very high, and the taste and texture are very unique. Because there are not many species, we generally treat it as a welfare Distributed to company employees, the rest is supplied to the market, the quantity is very small, and the price is around 200 yuan per catty.”

"Last year, I was discussing business in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The client gave me two boxes of cellared rice wine. He used to be a wine company, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang liked to drink rice wine. Daughter Hong knows that it is a typical cellared rice wine. This wine is The customer brews it himself. He makes wine every year, once every 12 years. I brought a box to Dad, and these two bottles are for you. Don’t look at this wine without a label, but it tastes very good, and you can’t buy it outside. .”

Hu Pingtao was full of gratitude, took the phone and said sincerely: "Sister, thank you."

"Thank you, the family doesn't speak the same language." Hu Biyuan smiled happily on the phone: "Get ready, wash your face, and put on a new set of clothes. Let me tell you, hurry up." Time to marry Su Xiaolin into the family, give birth to a big fat boy, Dad will not pay so much attention to you. He likes to drill recruits, you give him a few more, besides, the country has relaxed the birth policy now, and a few more grandchildren will accompany Dad , he doesn't pay that much attention to you."

Hu Pingtao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister, I don't even have a word for this character!"

"Then you should find a way to write the word "eight"!" Hu Biyuan was full of domineering: "People in our family are never afraid of getting into trouble, so don't be a coward either. Since you have a crush on her girl, don't hesitate, you should Use force if you need it, and use tactics when you need it. My sister will support you for a month at most, and you must take down Su Xiaolin."

……

After having lunch in the cafeteria, Su Xiaolin called at around one o'clock, saying that she was outside the police station, and she would not drive in because of the trouble of parking.

Hu Pingtao hurried out from the small door of the duty room with a gift, and got into Su Xiaolin's "Peugeot" car.

The sun was dazzling, and she was wearing sunglasses.Watching Hu Pingtao open the back door of the car, put things on the back seat, then walk to the front and sit in the co-pilot seat, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It's rare, did you change into new clothes?"

Hu Pingtao looked down at the brand-new uniform on his body, and said seriously: "Of course, this occasion should be more formal."

Hearing this, Su Xiaolin couldn't help being overjoyed.

She hooked her fingers at Hu Pingtao: "Come here."

Hu Pingtao was puzzled: "Why?"

Su Xiaolin ordered arrogantly: "I'll call you over here."

Women don't make sense at times like this.Hu Pingtao thought she was going to whisper something to him, so he obediently moved his head towards her.Unexpectedly, Su Xiaolin hugged his head with both hands, turned slightly to the side, attached her soft lips, and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

Hu Pingtao felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

Su Xiaolin didn't give him another chance, let go of the hand brake, pressed the engine start button without hesitation, and drove away amidst publicity and happy laughter.

……

In recent years, the provincial capital has engaged in development and built a new urban area.The Su family bought a new house in the north of the city. It has a large area, good lighting and comfort.

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

"This is my dad."

"This is my mother."

"This is my cousin and uncle."

"Hello, uncle and aunt." Hu Pingtao greeted each other in sequence with a smile on his face.

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 take Hu Pingtao home for dinner today.She told her parents the day before yesterday that Su Mu felt that it was best for her daughter to make up her own mind on the matter of marriage, and she and her old wife would at most help check it out.It's good to meet the boyfriend that my daughter is looking for in advance, if I can't catch my eye, there is still time to persuade my daughter.

Chen Jun is Su Xiaolin's mother.She is slightly fat and wears glasses.Since Hu Pingtao entered the door, she has been sizing up this young man with a satisfied look on her face.

On the issue of falling in love, Su Xiaolin communicated with her mother many times.She showed Chen Jun a picture of Hu Pingtao and told in detail what happened in Lijiang last time.Mothers always love their daughters the most, and before they meet, Chen Jun already accepts Hu Pingtao seven to eight percent in her heart.

"Don't be so restrained. Come, come, sit." Su Mu said with a smile, and asked Hu Pingtao to sit on the chair opposite to 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 add a lot to his overall personality. Su's father and Su's mother have a good overall impression of him.

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

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

"which university?"

"Academy of Art."

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

Hu Pingtao said: "I major in fine arts, oil painting."

"Then we are half of the same business." 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 smiled: "My teacher is Yang Chaodong. I heard that he is the vice chairman of the Municipal Artists Association."

"Lao Yang and I know each other very well. We drank together the day before yesterday." Su Mu said with a smile, "If I had known that you have a teacher-student friendship, I should have called him over today."

With a common topic, the atmosphere becomes harmonious.

"Calligraphy and painting are not separated. Xiaohu, how is your calligraphy?"

"After a few years of practice, it's okay!"

"Walk around, follow me to the study and write for me."

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

Su Xiaolin was wearing a pair of house slippers, with both hands on the chair from the front, she smiled at her mother who was sitting on the sofa diagonally opposite: "It's not art and calligraphy, but go and erhu. My dad has such a temper, no matter how much he says It's no use either."

Chen Jun glanced at the study room which had closed the door, and was a little worried. She asked, "How is Xiaohu's handwriting? Don't just agree to it just to please your father, it will only have the opposite effect."

In Su Xiaolin's mind, she glanced at the cover of the report written by Hu Pingtao at the Gudu Branch Bureau, and smiled subconsciously: "It's okay, he writes very well, and he will definitely pass my father's test."

Han Yuanqiang is Su Xiaolin's cousin.Su Mu had been talking to Hu Pingtao just now, but he couldn't get in. Now he smiled and said, "Today is a coincidence. I wanted to come over to see you, but I didn't expect to meet Linlin's boyfriend. This young man looks very energetic." Yes, where does he work?"

"Eryuan Road Police Station." Su Xiaolin answered crisply.

Han Yuanqiang nodded again and again: "The police is a good job. It is stable and the income is high."

Wang Keyi is Su Xiaolin's cousin.She pouted at the side: "The salary of civil servants is pretty good, but it's not much higher, at most ten thousand yuan a month."

As she said that, she nudged Chen Jun who was sitting next to her with her elbow: "Didn't your old Su ask just now that Linlin's boyfriend is only a trainee police officer now, and his salary during the internship period is even less."

Before Chen Jun could reply, Wang Keyi turned to Su Xiaolin and asked, "Linlin, what do your boyfriend's parents do?"

Su Xiaolin asked Hu Pingtao this question before: "His father is a soldier, and his mother works in the Zhaocheng North District Committee, and seems to be a civil servant."

These are the original words of Hu Pingtao.He didn't deliberately conceal it, nor did he explain it in detail.

"What's so good about being a soldier." Wang Keyi showed a disdainful expression on his face: "If you want me to say, this is not as good as your cousin's Lao Su! Zhaocheng is not as good as a provincial city, even if this young man's father is an officer, his income is not enough Too high. If Linlin and him really get married, how much money will his family give? Can they buy him a house in the provincial capital?"

Her tone was not kind, and Su Xiaolin was very upset when she heard it: "Auntie, this is my business, okay?"

"I'm doing it for your own good!" Wang Keyi dragged his tone: "You kid can't just look in front of you! I admit that this young man is good-looking, but what's the use of being handsome? Men are not like women. Money, at least a car and a house, so that you are eligible to talk about marriage."

Su Xiaolin frowned and said seriously: "He has good character."

"Good character can be eaten?" Wang Keyi sneered at this: "Marriage is not a house, so I won't mention anything else, let's just talk about the house. Think about it, Linlin, if you get married, you have no place to live. , what shall we do then?"

Su Xiaolin said angrily: "The big deal is that we can make up a down payment to buy a house by ourselves. I, Ping Tao, both have jobs, and pay thousands of dollars every month to repay the mortgage. This is not a problem that cannot be solved."

Wang Keyi was also very upset: "My cousin is from here, so I told you this. In fact, the situation of this young man's family can only be regarded as average, far from as good as Linlin you imagined."

As soon as this remark came out, both mother and daughter Chen Jun and Su Xiaolin showed doubts at the same time.

Han Yuanqiang also felt strange beside him, and asked, "How do you know?"

Wang Keyi stood up from the sofa, walked to the closet, and picked up the gift that Hu Pingtao had put there after entering the door.

"I don't need to say how important it is to meet Linlin's parents for the first time! But take a look at what he gave you!"
