Dr. Chung’s 90s

Chapter 221 The ugly words are ahead
Zhou Qin is used to working hard. Although her back hurts when taking the train, she will return to normal after sleeping.

She didn't ask Sister Tao to help her with her luggage. It wouldn't be too late for her to pack it after she had rested. It would be more convenient when she knew where to put her things.

Zhong Yu came back in the evening and told her mother about Ji Xueli's visit tomorrow. Zhou Qin heard that Chief Ji was coming with him and objected:
"I haven't even met your partner alone yet. Don't rush to meet his parents yet. His mother just had the operation not long ago. Don't bother him with making a trip. Good things come hard, so let him be more patient."

Song Congchun agreed with a smile: "Mom is right. Marriage is a big event, and it should be done step by step. My brother-in-law is already old anyway, and he doesn't care about delaying these ten days and a half."

Zhong Yu glanced at him sideways, half-smiling but not smiling: "Your brother-in-law shouts very smoothly, why do you not agree with him now? Do you have a problem with him?"

Song Congchun was sitting cross-legged on the sofa. He was playing with the small pillow in his hand. Hearing this, he smiled and said:

"I have no objection to my brother-in-law, but I heard from others that the harder it is for a wife to get her, the more she will cherish her. It doesn't matter what kind of wife you want to marry based on my conditions. After all, I have little experience and am not as good as mom. It’s clear, let mom take care of it and take your time.”

Zhou Qin folded the clothes scattered on the sofa and said quietly: "I don't mean to deliberately pick on him. I just want to see his parents first before considering meeting his parents. After all, marriage is a lifelong matter and cannot be taken lightly."

Zhou Qin is a woman who has been married twice. She considers issues more comprehensively than Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu respects her decision and does not go to Ji Xuelia at all. She smiles and says:

"Mom can do whatever she wants. If we don't test it now, it will be too late when we get married."

Zhou Qin handed the neatly folded clothes to Song Congchun and asked him to take them to his room, and then said to Zhong Yu:
"You have a clear mind and you can't find the wrong person. The conditions of our family are there, and the request I made is just to protect your interests. Don't worry."

Zhong Yu didn't worry about this. She stretched, stood up and said, "Then I'll call Xue Li and tell his parents not to come over."

Zhou Qin turned to the side and warned: "Pay attention to the way you speak, don't let his parents misunderstand. If he reacts badly, then do it in his way."

Zhou Qin didn't want to upset the parents of the other party just because of a meeting. Zhong Yu didn't know why her mother would think so, so she nodded perfunctorily:
"I know it well."

On the other hand, Ji Xueli was also busy at home. He put the gifts he had prepared into categories. Mr. Ji, his wife, Ji Xueyi and Chen Lin just watched him carry things one by one.

Since Chen Lin and Ji Xueyi had a frank talk, both of them have consciously adjusted the way they get along. They are people who want to live with each other for a lifetime. It is not a bad thing for each to take a step back. The two are getting along very well now, and they have some feelings for each other. .

Chen Lin counted the gift boxes on the ground, and there were nearly twenty. She joked:

"The third child wants to spend all his money to get a wife. He is much more sincere than your two brothers."

Ji Xueyi glanced at the things on the ground and said seriously:

"Don't you need me to carry things behind you tomorrow? I think you have too many things, so you can't do it without a follower."

Ji Xueli didn't care about their teasing, he said calmly:

"Mom, please help me first to see if these greeting gifts are enough. I always feel that there is something missing."

The old lady didn't think there was anything wrong with her son being so showy. She knelt down and took a closer look. All the gifts, from food and clothing to gold jewelry, were ready. She smiled and said:
"That much is enough. The most important thing in a meeting gift is sincerity. A'yu's mother won't be picky with your attitude."

Chief Ji asked his wife, "What clothes should I wear when I see my in-laws tomorrow?"

The old lady said amusedly: "It's not like you're showing your face, why don't you just wear that gray tunic suit? The military uniform is too serious, so that's the most suitable one."

Chen Lin looked at the old lady and suggested, "Then mom should wear a blue velvet cheongsam. It matches dad's one very well."

The old lady's daily clothes are mainly comfortable, and she is very particular about going out. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed what jewelry to match. Women always have endless topics to talk about. Ji Xueli asked his second brother to help and put the gifts in the car for backup. After placing the boxes, he was about to carry his things out when his home phone rang. Ji Xueli put down his things and went to answer the phone.

Zhong Yu briefly conveyed her mother's message on the other end of the phone. Ji Xueli felt embarrassed after hearing this. Originally, it was just a matter of course that he arranged for his parents to go with them. It would be fine if they met next time.

Ji Xueli hung up the phone and said to his mother: "Ayu's mother asked me to go there alone tomorrow and said that the parents of the two families would arrange a meeting next time so that it would be more formal. She wants to see me tomorrow."

The old lady smiled and said, "That's understandable. She hasn't met you yet, so she should be more cautious."

Chief Ji doesn't care. Anyway, he will hit wherever he wants, and it won't be too late for him to take the field.

Ji Xueyi crossed his arms and said expressionlessly: "You will fight alone tomorrow. Do you want me to teach you some tips on how to deal with your mother-in-law?"

Ji Xueli glanced at Chen Lin and said maliciously: "Second sister-in-law, does your mother like your second brother very much?"

Chen Lin said with a smile: "My mother feels stressed when she sees your second brother's cold face. She never feels comfortable eating with him. Do you like it?"

Ji Xueyi's face turned even colder, but Ji Xueli was not at all frightened. He stepped forward and patted his second brother on the shoulder and said, "Obviously the second brother's trick doesn't work. You should wait until I get married and teach it to your second brother."

Ji Xueyi couldn't refute Chi Guoguo's ridicule. He glared at Chen Lin angrily, and Chen Lin said helplessly:
"Don't blame me, I'm just telling the truth."

Ji Xueli tried to be brave, but he still felt scared when he actually went into battle. The next day he came to Zhong Yu's house with carefully prepared gifts and followed Sister Tao into the house. When he stood in front of Zhou Qin, he managed to maintain his composure and politely said :

"Hello, aunt! I'm Ji Xueli. I'm sorry that I haven't come to visit you until now. I have prepared some greeting gifts. I hope you will like it."

He carried a few boxes in, and Sister Tao kept taking them in. The battle was really big. Song Congchun was speechless and said:

"Brother-in-law, have you emptied your home?"

Zhou Qin glanced at his son and said, "You are the only one who talks a lot!"

Song Congchun didn't mind what his mother said and helped to get the things with a smile. Zhong Yu rarely saw Ji Xueli so nervous, so he smiled and said:
"Mom, I have been dating Xue Li for a while. We are planning to get married. If you want to know anything, just ask."

Zhou Qin's attitude was mediocre. After seeing the gift he carefully prepared, she softened a bit. She got straight to the point:

"You are a few years older than A-Yu. I originally didn't agree with you two being together, but A-Yu wanted to do it herself, and I don't want to fight with each other. I understand your situation generally, but there were a few people before getting married. I have to talk things through with you to avoid any disagreements in the future."

Ji Xueli straightened his back and said seriously: "Auntie, just say it, I just want to marry Ayu home, nothing else is important to her." Zhou Qin was not coaxed by his words, she looked directly at Ji Xueli and said seriously :
"Ayu is different from ordinary girls. She has a strong sense of professionalism and high pursuit of her profession. Even if she gets married to you, most of her thoughts will still be spent on work. You can accept that. Yet?"

Ji Xueli's tense nerves relaxed a little, and he said without any hesitation: "I have always supported her work and will not stop her even after marriage."

Zhou Qin looked serious and said: "Support is not just words. She is still young and wants the hospital to get on the right track before she considers having children. Can you afford to wait at your age?"

Ji Xueli was not a loyal supporter of continuing the family line. He said bluntly:
"When it comes to having a baby, I give priority to A-Yu's wishes. It's up to her to decide whether to have a baby or not."

Zhou Qin's expression remained unchanged and she continued to ask: "Then if you have children in the future, will you be able to take care of them? If your parents blame Ayu for neglecting the family, will you protect her?"

Ji Xueli didn't need to think about this at all. He said clearly:
"No one can blame Ayu. No matter what happens, I will stand in front of her. As for the child, I will definitely shoulder the responsibility of a father, but maternal love is also indispensable. I hope that we can share this responsibility together." responsibility."

Zhou Qin did not express her position after hearing his words. It was unclear whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied. She looked at Ji Xueli for a moment before saying:

"I hope you will not interfere with Zhong Yu Hospital in the future. It is her personal property and has nothing to do with you or the Ji family. Even if you get married, you can't get involved. Can you agree?"

Zhong Yu didn't expect her mother to think so long-term. Ji Xueli didn't hesitate at all. He said seriously:

"We can do notarization of property before marriage. All I care about from the beginning to the end is Ayu."

Zhong Yu didn't want the atmosphere to be too serious, so he spoke at the right time: "Mom, Xue Li and I have reached a consensus on these aspects, you don't have to worry so much."

Zhou Qin then said with a gentle attitude: "Don't blame Auntie for being troublesome. A'yu has not had a father since she was a child. I am always in debt to her. I am afraid that she will be hurt, and I am also afraid that you will bully her. I can't support her. So I have to say it first.”

Ji Xueli's expression relaxed a lot, and he said gently:
"It's pity the parents in the world. I can understand Auntie's mood. My parents like Ayu very much and support her work. The problems you are worried about will not exist."

Zhou Qin smiled and nodded. She had said everything she needed to say, and it was time to stop. After all, he was his future son-in-law, and they would still have a long time to get along with him in the future.

Just as Song Congchun was carrying the last few gift boxes into the house, he raised his voice and said, "Mom, come and see the gift that your brother-in-law gave you. There is also a big gold bracelet in it."

Zhou Qin was startled when he saw the gold bracelet in Song Congchun's hand, and said quickly: "Why do you give such an expensive gift? I can't accept it. Take it back quickly."

Ji Xueli said nonchalantly: "What does this little thing mean? I don't know what Auntie likes. I thought gold can preserve its value and be used as jewelry, so I just bought a gold bracelet. The price of gold is low now, so I can't spend much money."

Zhou Qin is the kind of person who is reluctant to spend it on herself even if she makes money. She is also afraid of being gossiped about when she wears gold and silver, so she always dresses plainly and wears new products to display in stores to attract customers.

Zhong Yu couldn't see her mother rejecting it, so she directly put the bracelet on her wrist and admired it to herself: "Gold is a bit tacky, but my mother can handle it at her age. It looks good on it."

Seeing that her daughter was like this, Zhou Qin readily accepted it. Her daughter couldn't afford a return gift of equal value, so why should she be petty?

She said cheerfully: "Xue Li, sit down and rest for a while. I will go to the kitchen to help Sister Tao, so that you can have a taste of my cooking skills."

Ji Xueli looked forward to it and said, "I have heard from Ayu that Auntie's cooking skills are getting better. She often tells me that she misses your cooking. I am really lucky today."

When Zhou Qin entered the kitchen, Zhong Yucai said with a faint smile:

"Dean Ji is very good at making the elders happy. How did I discover this?"

Ji Xueli exaggeratedly breathed a sigh of relief. He touched the non-existent sweat on his forehead and said helplessly:

"I love my wife too much. I want to marry my wife, so I need to work harder. Don't laugh at me."

Song Congchun was eating bananas next to him and said flatteringly: "Brother-in-law, you have passed the test, congratulations!"

Ji Xueli pretended to be angry and said, "You still have the nerve to say that, but you didn't know how to help me just now."

Song Congchun stuffed the banana into his mouth, threw the banana peel into the trash can, and said vaguely: "I have the lowest status in our family. I will be scolded if I don't do it. It's not like I won't help you."

Zhong Yu looked at the two "useless men" with disgust, then took the gift from Ji Xueli to her mother's room and put it away, so that her mother could experience the joy of opening the gifts alone at night.

Zhou Qin entered the kitchen and Sister Tao was making fried eggplant with sauce. The smell of the sizzling oil was satisfying. With Aunt Jiang's guidance, Sister Tao had figured out Zhong Yu's appetite, and now her cooking skills have improved.

Zhou Qin thought that her future son-in-law was so sincere that she had to reward him. She looked at the ribs on the chopping board and said with a smile:
"I'll blanch the sweet and sour pork ribs first, and we can cook together faster."

Sister Tao was naturally happy to have someone help her. She made room for her and said with a smile, "You come over here and I'll chop the vegetables first."

Sister Tao was a few years younger than Zhou Qin, and the two of them could talk. They were chatting and cooking, laughing and chatting, and soon prepared a large table. Looking at the dishes with all the colors, flavors, and flavors, Ji Xueli praised without hesitation:
"This pork ribs looks like it was made by my aunt. Sister Tao can't make such a delicious dish."

Sister Tao had worked part-time for Ji Xueliang before and cooked for him, so the two of them were familiar with each other. Sister Tao didn't mind and said:

"Even if I make dragon liver and phoenix marrow for you to eat today, you will still dislike it. I feel like I'm aware of it."

Everyone laughed kindly. Zhong Yu grabbed a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs to satisfy his craving. This is her mother's specialty and is always the most delicious.

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Ji Xueli said:

"Auntie, my parents have always been very fond of A-Yu. They want to meet you as soon as possible and set a date for our wedding. When do you think is the right time?"

Zhou Qin is not a person who likes to show off. She said quietly: "Then let's meet next weekend. I'm not familiar with the environment here. I need to calm down first and then discuss this matter with them."

Ji Xueli said with a happy face: "Then it's settled. My parents will come to visit first, and then we'll go to the restaurant to eat and talk. I'll book the restaurant in advance."

Zhou Qin wanted to just eat it at home without any hassle, but was worried that her son-in-law would think she was petty, so she had no objection.
