Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 84 Meeting the Parents

After rushing all the way, He Yuanchao finally arrived at the Family Courtyard of the Coal Ministry before the agreed time.

When he was still some distance away from the gate of the compound, the sharp-eyed He Yuanchao saw Zhang Min waiting eagerly at the gate.

Seeing this girl who was following him wholeheartedly, he couldn't help but speed up his pedaling pace and arrived in front of Zhang Min in the blink of an eye.

"Wait a minute." He Yuanchao parked his bicycle and walked up to Zhang Min with a smile.

Zhang Min looked at the man talking to him in front of him. He was tall and burly with a sharp face. He felt that he couldn't get enough of it. In just over a month, he knew that he had fallen in love and couldn't extricate himself.

After glancing at what He Yuanchao hung on the handlebar, Zhang Min didn't intend to have a long chat with his man at the door. After saying yes, he greeted He Yuanchao to come to the guard room to register.

After the two of them checked in from the guard room and rode away, the guards in the guard room started talking about He Yuanchao, a guy who was so lucky.

"I don't see what's so special about this boy, why did he fall in the eyes of the Zhang family girl?"

"Look, this kid may not have an easy life in the future."

"Come on, don't say sour grapes. No matter how hard things get, being able to hold such a beautiful woman in your arms makes this life worth it."

……

On the way to Zhang Min's house, He Yuanchao was riding a bicycle slowly while chatting with Zhang Min without anything to say. From time to time, he would make a few erotic jokes.

Zhang Min, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, looked at the man's upright back with a smile on his face.

Sensing He Yuanchao's nervousness, he didn't mean to blame her much. Moreover, when the two of them were together, she would often ride in the car driven by this man. Now this small scene could no longer make him shy.

The two of them talked and laughed, and even if the car rode slowly, they arrived at Zhang Min's house very quickly.

In order to entertain his prospective son-in-law, Zhang Min's mother was really busy at home despite Comrade Lao Zhang's objections.

Not only did we prepare good wine and food in advance, but we also took the "special supply certificate" from home and went to the special supply store to buy some rare and in-demand food in the market.

As soon as Zhang Min and He Yuanchao, who was carrying things, entered the room, Zhang Min's mother felt that all her thoughts were in vain.

Looking at the tall and big He Yuanchao, how did he like it, how did he like it, especially when he was with his daughter, how did he match him so well.

Waiting for He Yuanchao to put away the gifts he brought, and after Zhang Min respectfully called her aunt after the introduction, Zhang Min's mother could no longer hold back the smile on her face.

He stood up in a friendly manner, asked He Yuanchao to sit down, and scolded him with a smile in his eyes: "You said you kid, come as soon as you come, why are you wasting money on buying these things?"

He has been a family member of a high-ranking official for so many years, so he has seen the world. Although what the young man bought is not a rare thing, it is still a hot commodity in the market.

He didn't care about things, but he was still very satisfied with He Yuanchao's dedication.

"Auntie, this is a little bit of my thoughts, how can I say it's a waste of money?"

After hearing what Zhang Min's mother said, He Yuanchao explained with a smile and took out the silk scarf prepared for Zhang Min's mother.

Looking at the elegant embroidered silk scarf handed over by her prospective son-in-law, Zhang Min's mother felt even more satisfied.Although the things are not worth much, what is rare is the thought of missing him.

After being married to Zhang Min’s father for so many years, he didn’t say anything about giving her a gift, let alone having a son. After being in the army for so many years, let alone gifts, he rarely even gave me a letter. .

The prospective son-in-law must be considerate. A son-in-law is half a son. That's right.

After saying a few polite words, Zhang Min's mother happily took the silk scarf, stroking it lovingly while praising Su's embroidery skills.

When Zhang Min saw the gift given to her mother by her husband, she muttered in disgust: "Flattery, you only know how to please my mother, but I don't see you giving me any gifts."

Seeing He Yuanchao being embarrassed by what her daughter said, Zhang Min's mother hurriedly pretended to be angry and came to the rescue for her prospective son-in-law: "You stinky girl, you are jealous of your mother. Hurry up and pour some tea for Xiao He." drink."

After saying that, he put down the silk scarf in his hand, turned around and said to He Yuanchao with a smile: "Yuanchao, that girl has made us look bad. Don't be the same as him."

"It's okay, auntie. I think this is good. If you have anything to do, you have to tell me."

Zhang Min listened to He Yuanchao's words on the side, gave his man a look that said he was sensible, and then picked up the tea kettle on the table with a smile.

He poured a cup of tea for He Yuanchao and his mother each. After putting down the teapot, he seemed to remember something. After looking around, he asked: "Mom, where is Comrade Zhang?"

"Don't worry about that damn old man. We decided last night to entertain Yuan Chao at home today. When you went to pick up Yuan Chao just now, you took a call and went out. It's okay. You'll be back in a while."

Hearing what her daughter said, Zhang Min's mother glanced at He Yuanchao, and seeing that he didn't have an unhappy reaction, she explained to the two of them with a smile.

"Drink some water, and don't see anyone outside when you get home. Just stay with auntie, just like you are at home."

After explaining the reason for Comrade Lao Zhang's absence, Zhang Min's mother greeted He Yuanchao for a drink of water.

After seeing He Yuanchao take a sip of tea and put down the cup, Zhang Min's mother happily chatted with He Yuanchao about home affairs.

"Mom, you are checking the household registration. This is my job."

Zhang Min, who was listening to the chat between his mother and his man, saw that his mother always brought the topic to He Yuanchao's work life and past experiences intentionally or unintentionally. He was afraid that his man would be embarrassed, so he couldn't help teasing her. .

"What are you kidding about? I'm just concerned about aiding Korea, so why am I checking my household registration?"

She was happily chatting with her prospective son-in-law when she was suddenly interrupted by her daughter. Zhang Min's mother glared at her daughter fiercely before pretending to be unhappy.

Zhang Min curled his lips when he saw his mother's quibbling, and said exaggeratedly: "We are almost catching up with the interrogation procedures in our bureau, why don't we call it a household registration check?"

"Bah, what nonsense are you talking about? Yuan Chao and I are chatting here normally, why are they getting involved in your interrogation?"

Hearing what Zhang Min said was unlucky, Zhang Min's mother said to Zhang Min in a slightly scolding tone.

Seeing the mother and daughter bickering, He Yuanchao felt relieved. Zhang Min's mother had been chatting too much that day. If it hadn't been his first time to come to the house, he would have been embarrassed. He probably wouldn't have even peed when he was a child. I went to bed several times and wanted to inquire about it.

But I have to admire his way of asking questions. As Zhang Min's mother, he helped his daughter weigh her future husband. Can you say that this was wrong?
Not only can't he say that what he did is wrong, but he also has to work hard and actively cooperate. If he can pass the test of his future mother-in-law, then the matter between him and Zhang Min will be settled.
