Chapter 112 Super Spare Tire - Parents of Both Parties
The days passed slowly as their relationship gradually solidified.
The two had a disagreement about whose house to visit first.
Zhou Leng thought that they should visit his own home first, while Shi Ying thought that they should visit her home first.
At the dining table in the rental house, Zhou Leng interrupted Shi Ying who was talking nonstop and said, "Wait a moment." Just when the woman thought he was angry and went into the bedroom, he took out two folded A4 papers, one with the pros and cons written on it, and the other with the pros and cons written on it.
When the papers were put on the table, the tense atmosphere dissipated.
Zhou Leng was the first to speak: "Please continue speaking, affirmative debaters."
Shi Ying suppressed her laughter and said:
"Baby, have you ever thought that your uncle and aunt don't like me? That's for sure, so I should go to our house first, deal with one of the parents, and then focus on your family. If I go to your house first and then to my house, to be honest, we can't guarantee that our emotions will not be affected."
Zhou Leng thought about it, then he stood up and said:
"I think what the affirmative debater said makes sense." He then said to the empty living room: "I declare the affirmative debater the winner."
Shi Ying couldn't help but crumple up the paper with the word "Zheng Fang" written on it in front of her and threw it at the man.
Zhou Leng dodged and ran over to hug the other person. He said in a gentle tone:
"Don't worry, I will behave well when I go to your house. Similarly, you should behave well when you go to my house. After all, they are my parents. No matter what conflicts you have had in the past, you have to give them the minimum respect for my sake."
Shi Ying is actually a smart person. She is not a good person or a bad person who can be described in one or two words. If she must be described in two words, it would be that she is a person who judges the situation and is a little selfish. At this moment, when she heard the man say this, she firmly promised:
"Don't worry, baby. I understand your uncle and aunt's thoughts. I will behave well this time, and I will definitely be filial to them in the future."
After finding a day off, the two drove to visit Shi Ying's parents with gifts.
The mood of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law is different from that of a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law. Now Han Hao can only be said to have met all the requirements of the mother-in-law for her son-in-law, so naturally both the host and the guest are happy.
The two stayed at Shi Ying's house for one night and left the next day because they had to go to work. Next, they would visit the Han family.
Zhang Li and her husband had already received a notice from their son. Their son repeatedly told them that he would bring Shi Ying to visit them, and hoped that the two elders would not cause any trouble, receive them well, and at least give them basic respect.
The old couple discussed what dishes to cook one day in advance for this matter. After all, the three of them had argued back and forth many times because of their issues before, and now they have reached a strange balance.
Zhang Li stood by the window early in the morning and watched her son's car drive in. She didn't shout until she saw people: "My dear, they are coming. They are coming."
Han Chengwen sat on the sofa watching TV without moving. He replied, "I know. Why are you so excited?" This is the confidence that comes from never having a direct conflict with the other party.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Li, who had been wandering at the door for a while, straightened her clothes, looked through the peephole with dignity, and then opened the door with a smile on her face, but she didn't know where to put her hands because of embarrassment.
After the door was opened, the two sides met again with excessive politeness and false enthusiasm.
Shi Ying was the first to greet with a smile on her face:
"Hello, Auntie. Please open the door for us. Haohao forgot his keys in the car."
Zhang Li replied: "What's the big deal? Why are you still carrying something? It's quite heavy. Just let Han Hao carry it by himself."
In fact, the two bags of fruit had just come into Shi Ying's hands on the steps. She said without any guilt, "They're not heavy. I can't let Haohao carry them alone, or it will be too hard."
Han Chengwen appeared behind Zhang Li and said:
"Come in quickly. We are not strangers, so don't stand at the door. Your mother is looking forward to your coming. She has been cleaning since yesterday and bought a lot of food. She wants to make something delicious for you."
Zhou sneered and said:
"Thank you, Mom. You've worked so hard, dear Mom. I haven't had your cooking in a few days. I'm so craving for it."
Zhang Li was happy to see her son getting close to her. She thought that her relationship with her son was strained before, and she thought that her son would become more alienated from his family after he fell in love. Unexpectedly, her son took the initiative to apologize to her on the day he moved out, and later became closer and closer to her. So her impression of Shi Ying improved a little. At least she did not provoke the relationship between her mother and son, and may even have played a promoting role.
After they entered the room, they sat down on the sofa.
Zhang Li brought the washed fruits and put them on the coffee table.
No one spoke for a while, and no one knew what to talk about.
Zhou Lengxian said: "Xiaoying, take out the gifts you bought for your parents."
"Hey, if you hadn't told me I would have forgotten."
Shi Ying got up and went to the door to take out two boxes from her bag, then returned to the sofa, saying:
"Auntie, I heard from Haohao that you still use your old phone even though the screen is broken, so I bought you a new phone. This one is especially suitable for you. It takes good photos and can run some apps. I will help you replace the card."
Zhang Li was about to say something polite when she looked at the phone, but Zhou Leng replied:
"Mom, think it over carefully. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it back. If you don't want it, we won't deliver it to you. You can use it to play games with me later."
Zhang Li glared at her son, then said to Shi Ying:
"Don't listen to him. I'll get my old phone and you can replace the SIM card for me and teach me how to use it. I've never used a phone like this before."
While Zhang Li was getting her phone, Shi Ying handed another box to Han Chengwen. She smiled and said, "Uncle, this is a razor for you. I hope you like it."
Han Chengwen took it and said, "Thank you. I've been using that for several years."
Next, Zhang Li and Shi Ying studied the new mobile phone. Shi Ying also helped her download some entertainment software, including, of course, the Douyin app that she couldn't stop watching.
Han Chengwen and his son even prepared their dinner themselves, while the two women sat on the sofa watching videos and laughing.
When the two left, Zhang Li and Shi Ying became much closer.
Zhou Leng stood at the door. He turned around and gave his parents a warm hug before leaving with Shi Ying.
After closing the door, Zhang Li returned to the sofa and said to Han Chengwen:
"Have you noticed that our son is much closer to us now than before? I used to worry that he would forget his mother after getting married, but I didn't expect that our son would be so successful in this regard. It seems that Shi Ying didn't say bad things about us behind our backs."
Han Chengwen teased, "Shi Ying bribed you with just a cell phone?"
Zhang Li said:
"That's not true. I've always been the best judge of people. Shi Ying is very cunning and has many tricks. I used to think that our son would be controlled by her, but today I saw that they get along well. I was wondering if this kid has lost so much weight in the past few months and has learned to dress up. It turns out that he is waiting here. I think all his tricks are on Shi Ying."
Han Chengwen agreed and said:
"My dear, you can rest assured now. This girl did have many boyfriends in the past, but times have changed. Now that she is with our son, we should not interfere too much and let's see what the children choose."
Zhang Li nodded in agreement.
