Because it was a direct flight about 13 hours later, the plane landed at the Pudong Airport in Shanghai at around 6 pm domestic time.
At this time, Wu's father was already waiting at the exit, and his mother-in-law was eager to return home as soon as she got off the plane. She walked quickly in front, and Su Mingzhe had no choice but to follow behind with their suitcases.
After seeing her husband, Wu’s mother immediately gave him a hug. She really misses him after not seeing him for half a year!
On the contrary, Father Wu felt a little embarrassed and patted his wife to signal that his son-in-law was still watching.
Wu's mother also let go of her husband, feeling a little embarrassed.
Su Mingzhe took the initiative to greet his father-in-law:
"Dad, you have been waiting for a long time!"
Father Wu took his wife's suitcase from his son-in-law:
"No, I just arrived too!"
"Are you hungry? Let's go eat. Dad's treat!"
Su Mingzhe suggested:
"Dad, don't go out to eat. It's winter, let's go home and have some hot pot!"
"Let's have a good drink, we always feel unhappy eating out, and we have to find a driver after dinner!"
Father Wu turned his head and glanced at his wife. After seeing her nodding:
"Okay, let's go home!"
Wu's father then drove home with his wife and son-in-law.
On the way home, Su Mingzhe, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked:
"Dad, you've been driving this Lavida for a long time, right?"
Father Wu holds the steering wheel:
“A few years ago, I bought it in 2008 when it first came on the market, and it’s been almost six years now!”
"Dad, do you have any friends who sell cars? I want to buy one. It's not convenient to have a car in China!" Su Mingzhe asked.
Mother Wu said from the back seat: "Why waste that money? You won't be able to live in the country for a few days. You can drive your father's car first!"
Father Wu also nodded:
"Yes, you need to drive it first. My work is not far from home, and I don't drive it much. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to drive more than 70,000 kilometers!"
Su Mingzhe shook his head and thought of an excuse:
"It's better to buy one. I have some business when I come back this time, so I have to buy a better car support scene. When I return to the United States, I can leave it to my dad to drive!"
After speaking, he gave his father-in-law a wink.
As soon as Father Wu heard that his son-in-law wanted to buy a good car, he understood immediately when he saw his son-in-law winking at him.
The son-in-law wanted to buy it for himself. He was afraid that his mother-in-law would not agree, so he said he needed to use the car for something else.
Father Wu’s two hobbies were wine and cars. When he started working in his early 20s in the early 1990s, he saved money and bought a 212 jeep that was retired from the police station.
It was only with this jeep that I could catch Wu’s mother.
Wu's father thought for a while about how to persuade his wife to agree to buy a car, and soon he came up with a good idea.
In order to save some pocket money, he always lied about repairing his car and asked his wife for money. This time he can use the trick:
"Yes, you'd better buy one. You don't know that my car always has problems. Don't let it break down in the middle of the road, kid!"
Wu’s mother is still not easy:
"Mingzhe, if you need a good car to support the scene, you don't necessarily need to buy one. You can rent one first!"
Su Mingzhe glanced at his father-in-law, meaning you should think of a way quickly, I'm out of options.
Father Wu cautiously advised:
"Honey, if your child needs one, just buy one. We'll pay half of the money!"
Mother Wu reluctantly accepted:
"Okay, but let me tell you, this doesn't mean I bought it for you. I just bought it for Mingzhe!"
"Today is a good day~" Wu's father hummed a ditty excitedly at the thought of a new car driving soon.
Wu's mother didn't say anything when she saw her happy husband. Now that their son-in-law's family situation no longer required them to consider their only daughter, there was no use keeping the money at home. It was better to make her husband happy.
Wu's father searched around his neighborhood before finding a parking space.
After Su Mingzhe got out of the car, he frowned when he saw this community.
The location of this community is pretty good, in the city center, but because it was built relatively early, the corridors look a bit dilapidated.
When he reached the third floor, Wu's father took out the key and opened the door. After Su Mingzhe came in, he suddenly realized that although the house in the community was not very good, the decoration at home was not bad.
As soon as she entered the house, Mother Wu took off her coat and gave orders:
"Old Wu, you go downstairs to buy groceries and buy more meatballs. Mingzhe likes to eat them. I'll boil water here!"
Then he turned to Su Mingzhe:
"Mingzhe, please sit down and rest for a while. Hot pot is relatively simple. We'll eat soon!"
Su Mingzhe quickly said: "Mom, I'm not tired. I'll go with dad. He can't take it alone!"
Su Mingzhe and his father-in-law went to the vegetable market near the community to buy food. Wu's father had lived in this community for more than 20 years and often came here to buy food. Most of the people who came to buy food were from the same community, so they all knew each other.
A customer: "Hey Lao Wu, this is your son-in-law who graduated from Stanford, right? This young man is a talented guy at first sight!"
A man depends on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Su Mingzhe is wearing all the big brands bought by his wife Wu Fei, so he looks very energetic.
Father Wu also introduced with a smile: "Mingzhe, this is your Uncle Hu!"
Su Mingzhe also greeted: "Hello, Uncle Hu!"
It took more than an hour to shop at this vegetable market, and the compliments from the neighbors satisfied Wu's father's vanity.
On the way home, Su Mingzhe held the relatively heavy meat rolls and meatballs in his hands, and let his father-in-law hold the lighter ones such as vegetables.
Recalling the scene just now: "Dad, you are very popular!"
Father Wu smiled and said:
"This is all because of your efforts. When I sent Feifei to study abroad, this old nonsense was the one who gossiped the most!"
"Later Feifei graduated and married you. They knew you graduated from Stanford and earned US dollars in the United States, so they didn't gossip!"
"I don't know why I feel so envious and jealous right now, hahaha!"
Father Wu laughed out loud in the end.
Passing by the tobacco and alcohol supermarket at this time, Su Mingzhe stopped:
"Dad, let's go buy some drinks?"
Father Wu thought for a moment:
"That's okay. I really don't have much left to buy at home!"
When he finally came out of the tobacco and alcohol supermarket, Su Mingzhe was already holding a box of Maotai (6 bottles) in his arms.
Although Father Wu was happy looking at the wine, he couldn't help but be a little scared:
"Mingzhe, if you buy so much good wine, your mother will tell you when you get home that I know how to spend money on my children!"
Su Mingzhe said: "Don't worry, I'll tell my mother when I get back!"
"By the way, dad, what car do you like?" Su Mingzhe asked again.
"This, this, anything is fine~" Father Wu was still a little embarrassed.
"How about the Audi A6?" Su Mingzhe's A6 is still pretty good-looking after the facelift.
"The A6 is good. This is the car our leader drives. I've done it once before and it's very comfortable!"
Wu's father and others belong to a state-owned enterprise, and only the top leaders drive Audi.
"Mingzhe doesn't need to buy something so expensive. Just buy an Accord or a Magotan!" Wu's father calculated that his money didn't seem to be enough.
Su Mingzhe noticed his father-in-law's worries and comforted him:
"Dad, don't worry, your son-in-law is rich, so this car should be treated as a tribute to you!"
"And let me tell you the truth, the main reason I came back this time is to change your house to a house with a better environment!"
"I lied to my mother-in-law when I said I had something to do. I was afraid she wouldn't agree. I have nothing else to do!"
Wu's father was a little confused when he heard the news. How much money did his son-in-law earn? How could he change the house in Shanghai at any time?
Soon Wu's father and Su Mingzhe returned home in complicated moods.
After entering the house, Mother Wu was a little angry when she saw the wine her son-in-law was holding:
"Old Wu, you let your son-in-law spend so much money again!"
