Dong Dong Dong~
"Mother……"
Su Han called out twice and heard footsteps approaching. The door opened with a click, and a middle-aged woman wearing glasses appeared in their field of vision.
She was wearing a long white knitted coat with cotton slippers underneath, and her hair was also in wool curls. She could be said to be sisters to Aunt Song who just came downstairs.
"Mom, he is... Lin Yue."
"This is my mother."
After Su Han finished the introduction, he turned around and saw that her boyfriend was looking at his mother in surprise.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Oh, hello, aunt."
Su Han's mother said: "You're surprised, right?"
Lin Yue said: "Yes, I'm quite surprised. I didn't expect you to be Su Han's mother."
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Su Han looked at this and that, wondering what riddle the two were playing. .
"It's like this. I passed by the clinic once when it was being renovated, so I walked in and took a look. Lin Yue was there at the time, and we chatted for a few words."
"Oh, no wonder."
"Stop standing at the door. It's cold outside. Come inside quickly."
Su Han's mother quickly let the two of them into the living room and asked her daughter to get him slippers.
Lin Yue looked at Su Han, who was slightly embarrassed, and felt that this silly girl was quite cute. Her mother said she would just drop by, right? For this kind of thing, looking at the renovation progress of the clinic is just an excuse, but it is true to check the prospective son-in-law.
"By the way, Mom, this is the donkey-hide gelatin Lin Yue bought for you."
While Su Han was talking, he paid attention to his mother's expression, as if he was afraid that her mother wouldn't like her boyfriend.
"You said you young people are under great pressure to make money. Just come and bring any gifts."
The old lady took the gift box with a smile, turned towards the kitchen and said, "Old guy, what are you doing there? Why don't you come out? Xiao Lin is here."
I heard the collision of shovels and woks. After a few breaths, a middle-aged man walked out of the kitchen. He had a thin face and wore glasses. There was a hint of fatigue between his eyebrows, probably because he thought of his daughter this year. Going to someone else's house to celebrate the New Year is a bit unaccustomed mentally.
As he took off his apron and handed it to his wife, he said, "Collect the soup and it's ready to be served." When he was done, he said with a smile: "Xiao Lin is here."
Lin Yue called out politely: "Hello, uncle."
"Come, sit here."
The old lady put the donkey-hide gelatin gift box somewhere out of the way, took her apron and entered the fragrant kitchen, while Su Han's father took Lin Yue to sit on the sofa in the living room.
"Uncle, your braised pork is so well done. You can smell the sweetness even while sitting here."
Su Han's father was surprised: "Can you smell this?"
Lin Yue said: "My dad loves this dish. The factory will be very busy around the holidays. Every time my dad complains and is tired from work, my mom will make braised pork to gag him."
Su Han's father was amused by him. He looked at his daughter and said, "Listen, is she the same as your mother?"
"My mother didn't gag you with braised pork."
Su Han was right, her mother didn't gag him with braised pork, but when he saw what some self-media and experts said on the Internet, he couldn't help but cursed that it was shameless to have no bottom line for money. Sometimes, her mother would either hand him an apple or a bowl of strawberries to see if he would get angry if he didn't eat them.
Eat this, your mouth will not be able to speak, no matter how angry you are, it will be suppressed by the sweetness of the fruit.
"I can just stuff her mouth with braised pork. In all these years, she has never made the candy color good."
Su Han pinched his shoulder twice: "My mother did it on purpose. She said she likes the braised pork you make the most."
Old man Gu Kang turned sideways and looked at his daughter in astonishment: "Okay, you two will join forces to plot against your father."
Lin Yue looked at Zhi Le from the side. Su Han's father is a history teacher. He looks quite serious when he has a straight face. This appearance of taking off his disguise in front of his relatives is really a bit...cute? Cute? Or an old kid?
I really don’t know what words to use to describe it.
"Oh dad." Seeing that his parents were very satisfied with Lin Yue, Su Han also relaxed and returned to his usual state at home: "By the way, Lin Yue, didn't you prepare a special gift for my dad? Get it quickly. Show it to him."
Firstly, she wanted to use this matter to divert her father's attention. Secondly, she was actually quite curious and wanted to find out what was in the newspaper. You must know that her boyfriend usually kept quiet. See It seems harmless to humans and animals, but every time it makes some movement, people are surprised.
"Oh, by the way, I would have forgotten it if Su Han hadn't reminded me." Lin Yue took out a gift wrapped in an old newspaper from behind and handed it over: "Uncle, this is for you. I hope you like it."
Su Han's father was not polite or pretentious. He took the thing in his hand and opened the old newspaper outside with strong curiosity. When he saw the real thing for the first time, what he thought in his mind was whether it was a book or a novel. This is an old book that is quite a few years old. I readjusted my mind and looked at the words on the yellowing and aging cover. I frowned and my expression became quite wonderful.
"what?"
She moved closer to her father and looked at the book.
"The bamboo book chronicles the authenticity of the year? What is this? A history book?"
Judging from the title, it looks like it was a very old book. The title page seems to have been written in the Republic of China when it was first published.
Su Han's father did not answer her question and looked up at the young man sitting on the sofa.
Lin Yue said: "I heard Su Han say that you are a history teacher. I once passed by an old bookstall. I have read this book for a few years, and it is a very niche book. I spent dozens of dollars on it. I bought the book and thought about giving it to you when I have the opportunity."
"This... is too expensive."
"Uncle, I know what you mean. An old book like this is very valuable to people like you, but to me, it is just an ordinary old book that I can't understand."
"Since you said so, I will accept it?"
"As a senior, I give this to you just because I hope you like it."
Su Han's father nodded with a smile, wrapped up the old book again, and walked towards his study. Su Han looked sideways and found that her father did not put the book on the bookshelf, but found a small wooden box to put it in. His cautious look made people think it was an antique.
"That book... did you really spend dozens of dollars?"
Lin Yue didn't hide it from her: "Multiply it by ten times. In fact, old books are not like antique calligraphy and paintings. They are relatively niche. They are only liked by some intellectuals like your father, and their collection value is not high."
"You are really good. You managed my dad with just one book. Look at how happy he is."
"What? Don't you like the result?"
Just as Su Han was about to speak, her mother shouted from the kitchen: "Xiao Han, come here and help."
"I got it, Mom." She stood up and walked to the kitchen. Unexpectedly, Lin Yue followed her.
Su Han's mother was cooking when she saw her daughter come in and point to a few heads of garlic placed next to the chopping board: "Peel it and smash it into pieces, add some water and some sesame oil, and mix it into a bowl of minced garlic. I'm afraid Xiaolin won't be used to it here. This dish can be eaten with garlic paste to relieve fatigue."
"OK."
Su Han walked over and picked up a clove of garlic. Lin Yue walked into the kitchen: "I'll help you."
"You are a guest, just go and sit."
"I'm not happy to help you anymore."
Su Han rolled her eyes at him, did not insist, and let him help peel the garlic.
Su Han's mother took advantage of the break to cook and looked back at the two of them. She couldn't help but smile and was very satisfied with this prospective son-in-law.
There was nothing much to say next. The few of them had a meal happily. Lin Yue also drank half a catty of wine with Su Han’s father. When it was close to 8:30, he called for a driver. When he arrived, he followed Su Han. Parents say goodbye.
Su Han sent him downstairs and sat beside the car for several minutes. It wasn't until the driver's face turned dark that Lin Yue said goodbye to her and got into the passenger seat.
To be honest, he left a little early, not because he felt uncomfortable at Su Han's house, but just now, the system that treated him like a boss gave him a new task, this time the target was a movie he A film and television drama that I have never heard of--"In the World".
