Chapter 406 An Awkward Chat

Knowing that the young couple has not responded yet, the mothers of both parties tried their best to teach Hou Mengting the skills of pregnancy preparation, such as healthy diet, regular work and rest, moderate exercise, etc. These are normal pregnancy preparation skills.

What is abnormal is that Liu Shuhua also asked Hou Mengting to do a handstand for half an hour after the two of them finished exercising, so as to increase the chance of pregnancy; even the mothers of the two sides discussed which posture is easy to conceive, and the chat was very bold and open. While covering his blushing face with his hands, he stretched out his ears, his eyes radiated light, and listened carefully.

Hou Mengting was a little embarrassed here, and Zhou An was also embarrassed over there.

Today is spring and Jingming, the wind and the sun are beautiful.

Zhou An accompanies the fathers of both parties to visit the magic city, see the bustling metropolis, and also serves as a bridge for the two old people to communicate.

It was the first time for Mr. Zhou to go to Shanghai, and Hua Tianjin made him praise it. Although the future father-in-law came once, it was still very novel.

Basically, not too bad.

But—a little embarrassingly, there seemed to be a weird atmosphere between Mr. Zhou and Hou Linzhong.

"What's Zhou's last name?"

"Mr.Zhou."

"Good surname, the same surname as my future son-in-law."

"My virtuous brother's surname is also very good, it has the same surname as my future daughter-in-law."

"Brother Zhou, please." The three of them strolled to the intersection, the future father-in-law lowered his body slightly, and waved his right hand as a gesture.

"My dear brother, please." Teacher Zhou hastily bowed down and made the same gesture.

Zhou An scratched his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Along the way, the two elders seemed to be playing some kind of novel game.

The bohemian Hou Lin became gentle and refined, and the calm and composed Mr. Zhou became restless.

It was the first time for the two elders to meet, and their personalities were far apart. He predicted that the meeting would be very awkward, but he didn't expect it to be so embarrassing.

The old man is older than Mr. Zhou.

Brother Zhou?

Brother?

Do you two know what you're talking about?

The two of them stood at the intersection, politely giving way to each other, neither of them wanted to go first, and people around them cast curious glances.

Zhou An Youyou said: "This road is at least ten meters wide, can't it accommodate the two of you walking together?"

What is this?

The two looked at the road in front of them together, densely packed pedestrians passed by side by side, they realized that their behavior was a bit stupid just now, and embarrassment appeared on their faces.

Just as he was walking forward, Zhou An slapped his forehead and said with a helpless attitude: "My two fathers, red light!"

The two smiled awkwardly, stopped abruptly, and stared at the traffic light. When the green light came on, the two silently glanced at each other and moved forward with almost the same frequency.

The three of them wandered around the most famous, busiest, and most congested street in the magic city. It was bustling with pedestrians and tourists, and it was very popular and lively.

No matter how lively the place is, it can't melt the iceberg-like gap between the two elders.

After passing the intersection, the two fell into silence again, each watching the scenery in front of them.

Zhou An followed behind with his hands in his pockets, and he didn't bother to talk much. He wanted to see what tricks the two of them could play today.

The atmosphere is dignified and quiet.

It had to be Hou Lin who was unrestrained and unrestrained, and couldn't bear it first, and said: "Uh, this place is quite prosperous, with more people than ours."

"Indeed." Teacher Zhou nodded in agreement, and the voice fell, as if feeling that the answer was too simple and not in line with courtesy, and then added: "It is also much more lively than Taohua Town."

"Why are most of them women?"

"Women love shopping."

"It makes sense." Hou Lin stroked his chin and thought for a few seconds, "Liu Shuhua has a broken leg, and she's wandering around the streets in a wheelchair."

"Hey, women are the same." Speaking of this, Teacher Zhou sighed, "When my family entered the mall, I was so happy that I couldn't find it. I wandered around one store after another, being picky, choosing, and trying on a lot. For the second time, just don’t buy it.”

"Brother Zhou, what do you think women are for?"

"Satisfying a certain kind of pleasant psychology, I call it... sickness."

Hou Lin turned his head, looked at his future in-laws, and gave a thumbs up. Teacher Zhou smiled slightly.

The chat between the two in-laws started with complaining about his wife. Hou Lin complained about Liu Shuhua's violence and temper, and Teacher Zhou was annoyed by Lu Yulan's nagging and gossip.

Zhou An was stunned when he heard it behind him.

The two of you complained about your wives when you first met, which—

Like talk?
I have to admit that when a man reaches middle age, there are always so many trivial matters in marriage. These trivial matters are similar, and it is very easy to arouse resonance among men, and this resonance can quickly ease the strangeness between people.

The two of them attacked their wives, and suddenly opened up the chatter box, and the atmosphere was no longer as cold as before.

Hou Lin quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The in-laws of this glorious civil servant also had the same troubles as him. It was like finding a relative. His original restrained temper relaxed a lot, and he immediately vomited bitterness to the other party, belittling Liu Shuhua into an evil devil. The world's most brutal murderer.

Teacher Zhou wanted to complain about Lu Yulan, but he couldn't get in the conversation, so he nodded vigorously, agreeing very much.

What the in-laws said speaks to the bottom of my heart.

Correspondingly, my impression of Hou Lin improved a bit.

Sympathy.

The two walked while chatting, and when they came to a clothing store, Zhou An gestured to the two.

"Why?" Hou Lin asked suspiciously.

"Buy some clothes for you."

"I have clothes to wear."

"The few clothes you brought to Shanghai were lost by Hou Mengting, and she asked me to buy them for you."

On the night of the proposal, Hou Lin was so happy that he couldn't help himself. His daughter finally got married. She drank a few more glasses at night, and then vomited all over her clothes, which were full of vomit. Hou Mengting threw those clothes away. Buy some clothes for your future father-in-law.

Hou Lin didn't say anything, but nodded.

The three went straight into the clothing store, and immediately felt that the business was booming, and there were customers everywhere.

"Hi three, how can I serve you?" The clerk who had just sent a customer away immediately came over and greeted with a professional smile and bow.

Wearing black overalls, black stockings, high heels, and a professional look.

"Buy some clothes." Zhou An nodded, and then waved to the old man Hou Lin, "Help my uncle choose some clothes that fit."

Zhou An is not a person who thinks too much about dressing, he usually chooses to order privately.

One is durable.The second is to remove the difficulty of choice.

So he didn't know how to buy clothes for the old man. He originally asked Hou Mengting to come and buy them together, but the woman didn't come because she was too lazy to run away.

Therefore, he had to leave this task to the clerk.

The black silk clerk sized up Hou Lin, as if he had quickly determined his dressing style, lowered his body slightly, and guided the three of them into the store.

Just at this moment, a high voice came from the door: "Waiter."

The store was busy at the moment, and there was only the black silk clerk near the door. She cast a questioning look at Zhou An, and after getting the latter's nod in response, she bowed deeply to express her apology, and then went to welcome the door.

Zhou An understood that the other party was busy, and it was not good for him not to receive the guests who came to the store, so he didn't bother the other party and walked straight inside.

Give others a little understanding and respect.

Moreover, he felt that his aesthetic level should be higher than that of ordinary people, and he was fully capable of matching several sets of good fashions for Hou Lin.

Walking out of the dressing room and looking at himself in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, Hou Lin froze, turned around and asked his future son-in-law, "Do you think it's reliable?"

"The gray hoodie and the brown jersey look pretty good to me." Zhou An replied, rubbing his chin, "It looks like you are young and energetic."

Teacher Zhou on the side twitched the corners of his mouth, and said quietly: "Is it suitable for my brother at this age?"

This rebellious son is really as brainless as ever.

"Oh." After hearing the words, Zhou An slapped his head, smiled awkwardly, and replied in an embarrassed manner, "Uncle, I forgot that he is almost 50 years old. I regard you as myself."

Mother, this affects the relationship with my father-in-law a bit.

puff!

Suddenly, there was a soft laughter from the side. Looking back, I saw the black silk clerk covering his mouth, his eyes narrowed, as if he had sensed Zhou An's gaze, and suddenly stopped. With a smile, he apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Zhou An was not angry, but rolled his eyes and said, "It's all your fault, why run away?"

"Sorry!" The black silk clerk bowed politely. Her customer seemed to be trying on clothes, so she walked over when she had free time, picked out a few clothes from the men's clothing, compared them to Hou Lin, and handed them over to the waiter. Caller: "You try again."

In less than a minute, Hou Lin looked at himself in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, a little excited, and shouted: "Handsome!"

Loose jeans, paired with a coffee coat, and a blue sky-like shirt inside, Hou Lin suddenly felt that he had returned to his youth again.

The black silk clerk took off a decorative spectacle frame from the side and put it on in front of Hou Lin's eyes. After the latter thought about it seriously, he only had two words to describe it: "Niubi!"

Zhou An had to admit that he lacked a bit of talent when it came to dressing.

A few clothes and a spectacle frame randomly selected by the black silk clerk suddenly made the future father-in-law look much younger and handsome, with the charm of an old man.

"Sorry, can you keep your voice down?" At this moment, a high-pitched voice came from the side. Looking back, a woman in a pink dress crossed her arms and stared at Hou Lin with some dissatisfaction. "And you speak a little more civilized, there are ladies here."

"I'm sorry." Hou Lin woke up a little bit, realized that he was too excited just now, and apologized.

Although Hou Lin is a rough man who doesn't know many big characters, he also knows that it is impolite to make loud noises in public.

The woman in the pink dress didn't answer, but just nodded with a haughty look.

Then he said unkindly to the black silk clerk beside him: "Why are you standing still? I'm your customer, hurry up and introduce me the most popular fashion items at the moment."

The black silk clerk gave Zhou An an embarrassing smile, then pointed to a few clothes next to him, and said: "When people reach middle age, try to choose simple colors. When my uncle was young, he was very good-looking and had a good figure. Your clothes will also be very nice. When you pay the bill later, I will give you a discount and spoil your shopping interest, I am very sorry."

"Okay, thank you." Zhou An waved his hand, "Go, go, don't worry about me."

For the behavior of the black silk clerk, he was not angry or had much emotional fluctuations.

People in the arena involuntarily.

The other party has done what she can.

Following the instructions of the black silk clerk, Zhou An bought a few sets of clothes for his father-in-law Hou Lin, and by the way, a few sets for his father, Teacher Zhou, who is next to him.

The two middle-aged people instantly took on a new look.

Teacher Zhou was still so indifferent, as if the sky had fallen and had nothing to do with him.

In comparison, the future father-in-law will be much happier.

The three elders are masters who don't like to hang out. After buying, they are ready to check out immediately.

"Wait a minute, let me change my clothes first."

"Don't change uncle, your clothes are getting old."

The three of them walked towards the counter with a pile of clothes in their arms. By coincidence, they met the black silk clerk and the woman in the pink dress.

"Hi three." Hei Si's clerk said softly, "The store is a bit busy today, I hope you don't mind, I'm really sorry."

"It's okay." Hou Lin didn't take it seriously, and said to the other party gratefully, "Thank you, little girl, otherwise, I would have been tricked by someone today."

As soon as these words came out, several people looked at Zhou An, and he smiled embarrassedly: "Oh uncle, you know me, I have 1 sincerities, 1 sincerities, and 1 loyalty to you old man."

I didn't do it on purpose, believe it or not, tell your wife to go, Zhou An thought a little aggrieved.

"You first." Zhou An gestured politely to the woman in the pink dress.

The woman seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the black silk clerk, and she gave him a look, without looking at Zhou An, directly put the purchased things in front of the counter, and said softly, "Check out."

The young lady at the counter took what the girl in the pink dress bought, a shiny black handbag, which was not cheap at first glance, with a respectful look on her face, she checked the computer carefully, quickly pressed the keyboard with her ten fingers, and then said : "Thanks for your patronage, [-] yuan, credit card or mobile payment?"

"Mobile payment." The woman in the pink dress raised her eyebrows. Judging from her appearance, she was not surprised by the price. She took out her mobile phone and showed the QR code to the lady at the counter.

With a click, more than 6000 were spent.

The woman in the pink dress took the handbag from the hands of the young lady at the counter, and did not leave immediately, but stood aside, sliding her phone carefully, as if chatting.

Zhou An didn't take it seriously, put some clothes bought for the second elder in front of the counter, and said to the black silk clerk beside him, "How is it? How about the clothes you selected?"

"Yes, there is progress." The black silk clerk carefully flipped through the clothes, thinking for a few seconds, "Even without me, you would not have chosen those clothes."

"Wrong, I really plan to choose those clothes."
