Chapter 976 A sudden meeting with parents
As soon as Chang Yuanchao and Zhou Li entered the door, they didn’t even have time to change their shoes, when they heard Chang Jiayao shouting at the top of her lungs:
“Dad , Mom, my brother said that he will bring a girlfriend home for the New Year tomorrow!”
“…”
For a moment, the whole house and even the whole world seemed to be quiet.
Chang Haonan showed an expression that he couldn't bear to look at. He took three steps at a time and came to Chang Jiayao's side. He reached out and pushed his sister back to the sofa.
As for the old couple who just entered the house...
For a while, they even forgot to close the door, letting the cold wind keep pouring in from outside.
After a while, Chang Yuanchao recovered from the initial shock:
“What did you...say?”
This is asking Chang Jiayao.
It has only been two years since Comrade Lao Chang retired from the front line. He is still sharp and healthy. It is obviously impossible that he really didn't hear.
I just don’t believe it.
However, before Chang Jiayao could speak again, Zhou Li next to her looked at Chang Haonan more directly:
"Xiaonan, your...girlfriend?"
"Ahem..."
Chang Haonan was a little helpless about his sister's Chunqiu calligraphy:
"Not a girlfriend yet, but a girl, a friend."
This answer ...
Although it is negative on the surface.
The inner meaning is also negative.
But for the questioner, the effect is almost the same as affirmation.
So, Zhou Li, who had looked shocked just now, instantly smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just a girl."
"I'm not my girlfriend now. Maybe it will happen in the future..."
While talking, the two of them had already changed their clothes and shoes as quickly as possible.
Chang Yuanchao didn’t seem as excited as Zhou Li on the surface, but he was very curious:
“Tell me, where does the girl come from and what is her job now?”
“How did you two meet?”
“Is it because of work that you came to our house to celebrate the New Year, or because it’s snowing so hard that you can’t go back?”
Even though Chang Haonan was used to big scenes, he was bombarded with a series of questions and was a little confused.
"I am a colleague, and she was my senior sister before..."
"Because it was snowing and the flight couldn't take off, I thought about calling her over to celebrate the New Year together..."
Zhou Li, who arrived later, did not give him a chance to buffer:
"Then do you know what she likes to eat?"
"I don't know."
Chang Haonan shook his head.
“For southerners, the New Year customs are different from ours?”
For Northeasterners, everything south of Shanhaiguan is “South”.
“Uh... I don’t know”
Continue to shake your head.
"Alas... Why don't you, a child, know nothing about everything and don't ask in advance..."
Zhou Li sighed with a face full of hatred:
"You should have told us earlier so that we could prepare earlier... It's already twenty-nine in the afternoon, and it's too late to prepare anything..."
Not to mention Chang Haonan, who is in the middle of the two, Even Chang Jiayao, who was watching the excitement from the side, broke into a cold sweat.
As for the former, he was even more amused:
"Mom... I just can't get home in time. I'm here to celebrate New Year's Eve, and I don't really want to come..."
" Besides, I haven’t seen anything different in what she eats. Besides, she has been in the capital for more than ten years, so she should be considered a Beijing native.” Just be more prepared and come out..."
Hearing what he said, Zhou Li straightened her eyebrows:
"How about that?"
"This is the first time for a girl to come here. We can't let people think that we don't want to see you..."
As he said that, he turned to Chang Yuanchao:
"Hey , old man.”
“Do you have any red envelopes?”
"No...she is two years older than me, and she is already working..."
Chang Haonan offered his opinion weakly.
It’s not that I feel bad about the money.
But this form looks a bit strange...
It always looks like giving lucky money to a child.
"That's different..."
Zhou Li waved her hand without thinking:
"Anyway, just listen to me. Mom has experience in this kind of thing... "
"..."
In the end, even Chang Jiayao came over to join in the fun:
"Brother, is my sister-in-law good-looking?"
Chang Haonan, who was almost numb, glanced at Chang Jiayao with a resentful expression, and replied angrily:
" Won’t you find out when we meet tomorrow?”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the latter seemed to have heard something terrible, and he patted the pillow in his arms happily:
"Just tell me, my brother has no objection to the title sister-in-law..."
"???"
Chang Haonan finally couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to knock Chang Jiayao on the head...
If she hadn't omitted that crucial word, maybe the situation would not have developed. To such an extent.
Obviously, although Zhou Li has never met Yao Mengna, she is already considering her treatment as a prospective daughter-in-law.
Of course, Chang Haonan himself does have this idea...
But I still feel that the progress is a bit too fast...
...
In short, the second day came quickly.
Early in the morning, Chang Haonan was picked up from the bed by his two elders. Then, while preparing various New Year utensils, I was asked questions like "When will that friend of yours arrive" every half hour.
In the end, Chang Haonan, who took the trouble, chose to compromise and asked a driver to pick up Yao Mengna in advance.
Even at the beginning of this century, housing prices in Beijing were actually in a situation that made those who heard it sad and those who heard it shed tears.
Yao Mengna, who had just graduated and had only worked for two years, naturally lived in a single dormitory provided by Torch Laboratory.
So the situation is similar to yesterday, all the way to the outer ring, smooth and smooth.
Even when Zhou Li was just starting to prepare lunch, she heard the doorbell ringing outside.
"Quick, you have to open the door."
Chang Yuanchao pointed to the entrance and gave his son a gentle push on the back.
Actually, since Chang Haonan took the initiative to invite Yao Mengna to his home, he was not nervous at all.
The result was that the old couple was tormenting me so much that I felt a little unsure.
However, now that everyone else has arrived at the door, it is too late to say anything.
Therefore, he took a deep breath, then turned around and walked resolutely to the door.
At the same time, Yao Mengna was standing outside the door with several large boxes of gifts in her hands, and she was beating a drum in her heart.
As a party that seems passive but is actually active, she now knows it very well.
If you continue to count on Chang Haonan to make the first move, then they will probably have to live alone together.
So, you must muster up the courage to do something first.
And today, this occasion with only two people is very suitable for getting closer...
When she was on the road just now, she had already started to build herself up mentally.
I thought there would be no problem, but now that things are coming, I am panicking again——
"When he comes to open the door later, should I be more enthusiastic..."
“But will it scare people if you are too enthusiastic...”
"How should I call him? Calling him Professor Chang seems a bit too harsh..."
"Calling him by his first name? It seems like the span is a bit too big..."
"Is it like Did you call me junior brother like that before..."
"Also, what should I say in the first sentence..."
"I asked my best friend yesterday, and she seemed to say that even men can't stand up to girls acting coquettishly. , but what should I do if I’m not very good at this..."
"..."
In the cold wind, Yao Mengna was so anxious that she was almost sweating.
At this moment, I only heard a "click" sound.
The door opened.
“Sister, please come in quickly.”
In non-work situations, Chang Haonan is still accustomed to using this more casual address.
And this also helped Yao Mengna solve a big problem.
"Junior brother, happy New Year!"
After entering Chang Haonan's house, it's hard to say whether it was because of nervousness or shyness. In short, Yao Mengna's mind was already a little hard to turn around.
The moment before opening the door, she was thinking about the advice she received from several little sisters last night——
Learn to act coquettishly.
Don’t act too strong.
Find ways to stimulate the other person's desire for protection.
Logically speaking, none of these three items can be wrong.
But in the chaos, Yao Mengna subconsciously mixed all the above contents.
And the external performance is...
When Chang Haonan closed the door and was about to get her slippers.
In an extremely arrogant tone, he said:
"Junior brother...it's so cold outside..."
I almost fell to the ground when I said one sentence. Chang Haonan, even Yao Mengna herself closed her eyes.
"Oh my god...how could I make such a strange sound...it's so shameful..."
However.
The more shameful thing is yet to come.
"Brother, is this the colleague you said was coming to your house for the New Year?"
Yao Mengna was about to open her eyes when a crisp female voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
"?"
Before she could figure out what was going on, a second, more mature female voice came from a little further away:
"Xiaonan, let the guests in quickly, I'm holding my hand here..."
"? "
Yao Mengna began to realize that something seemed to have gone wrong.
Immediately afterwards, there was a rich male voice -
It was not Chang Haonan's:
"Don't be too restrained, just treat it as your own home..."
"?"
Finally, it is Chang Haonan’s voice:
"Senior sister, you can just come here directly. What else can you take... it's too unreasonable..."
"..."
For a moment, Yao Mengna would rather keep her eyes closed forever. Up——
Obviously, she got the situation wrong.
Chang Haonan is not alone in his family.
On the contrary, families spend the Spring Festival together.
I met my parents out of nowhere today...
And what’s even more terrible is.
The words she just felt ashamed to hear must have been heard by everyone in the room...
