1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 22

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly prepared the meal, and the family was extremely happy to have dinner.

Nowadays, homes have long used gas. As early as [-], large cities began to use it.

……

September 23
Luo Tao also went to Zhu's house for the first time to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

There are also many gifts in his hands, and he has also prepared two special gifts. Both paintings are of modern and contemporary people.

One is Mr. Jiang Hanting, who is good at imitating Ren Bonian and Xu Gu, known as "Jiang Xu Gu".Xugu, a famous painter in the Qing Dynasty, has the reputation of "the first painting garden in the late Qing Dynasty".

The other is a female gentleman, Tan Yueguang, formerly known as Gu Rong, in her later years she was known as Zhujiang Old Man.A native of Longtan, Shunde, Guangdong.

He is famous at home and abroad for his poetry, calligraphy and painting, seal cutting, thin gold calligraphy and plum painting.

Hearing that Zhu Lin said that his father Zhu Youxun liked plum blossoms very much, Luo Tao followed his fancy and bought two paintings by the late plum painter, hoping to please him.

Mother-in-law Wen Yu is a woman from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. One of her great hobbies is that she likes to eat Soviet-style pastries.

This is a bit difficult to handle. We have never eaten it and don’t know where to buy it, so we should try our best to buy some sweet desserts.

It is said that the mother-in-law is not easy to deal with. As long as you can please her, the matter becomes one-third of the matter and takes up a lot of weight.

The next time I visit, I will dig three feet into the capital to buy authentic Su-style cakes.

As the old saying goes: Mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more the more she looks at him. I hope Luo Tao will have a good outcome today.

My father-in-law is not so easy to fool. How can he feel better when he sees the daughter he raised being kidnapped like this?

This is probably the most uncomfortable thing for any father!This little cotton-padded jacket had only been worn for a few years, and it was snatched away. I cried, cried loudly, how wronged I was.

Dealing with the mother-in-law is difficult first and then easy, but dealing with the father-in-law is the opposite. It is easy first and then difficult. You must untie the knot in his heart.

Luo Tao was the best at this. He would flatter him one after another and come to visit him whenever he had nothing to do.

Don't think of yourself as a son-in-law, you must think of yourself as a son. If you want to be a grandson, you can't stop it.

Although a son-in-law is half a son, there is still half, right?How to remove that half? The answer is to be a son, do what a son should do, and say what a son should say.

This does not mean that you should be as unscrupulous as a real son. You should have the attitude of a son-in-law and a conscious son.

What is awareness, respect and understanding, and what is attitude?Bring tea, water, rice and noodles.

They also had to do some physical work, carrying water and chopping firewood to replace the gas tank.

Even if there is a cabbage, I have to climb to the [-]th floor to deliver it to me. That’s it. I’ll figure it out for myself. There’s something wrong!It can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

Jinyu Hutong is here as soon as I say this, No. 38.

It is also a large hospital. The staff dormitory of the Medical College is a three-entry mansion, which is more luxurious than Huang Yuanchao's house. Her family lives in the last one.

"Zhu Lin is back! Who is this? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"Aunt Zhang, my friend is here to visit today. You are busy and we can go in."

After saying that, he urged Luo Tao to leave quickly. Why was his face red? It was nothing. He didn't blush much when they kissed him!
Luo Tao didn't want to talk to this group of knowledgeable or ignorant people, so he walked away calmly.

Discussions came from behind.

"This girl from the Zhu family turns out to be someone! No wonder so many people came to ask for his hand in marriage, but they were all rejected."

"Who says it's not the case? Whatever this boy does, he wins the favor of the Zhu family girl."

"If you want me to say, he looks just like that. How handsome is that kid who hasn't come to May Day yet?"

"That's right, that's right" {Everyone said yes.

Aunt Zhang announced a new topic, "Do you think the Zhu family can take a fancy to this young man?"

"I see Xuan"

"I also believe so"

"It doesn't look like a wealthy family, a child of a high-ranking official."

Some people are optimistic about it.

"I have a different opinion"

If you have a different opinion, just say it, why bother raising your hand!When it comes to democracy and freedom, we don’t make false statements.

Okay, okay, I will definitely change it in the future, I promise the great man. “Although the young man is not very handsome, he is not annoying to look at.

Look at those piercing eyes, they are full of energy and content, and they look resolute. They are also very stable in the next three sets. I think it’s good.”

"that's true!"

"The way you put it, it's really interesting."

Besides, Luo Tao and Zhu Lin had already entered the second courtyard and could only move their feet to enter the last courtyard.

I saw a circular door on a landscape wall. When I entered, I saw three rooms in the north and two rooms in the east wing.

There is a grape trellis above the entrance, and there are many grapes on it. It seems that these grapes are of the slow-growing type.

Zhu's father was sitting on the recliner on the right side of the aisle and reading a book. Zhu's mother didn't see anyone. From the sound, she should be cooking in the kitchen.

When Father Zhu saw someone coming, he put down his book and went to the kitchen: "Old lady, we have a visitor."

He glanced at Luo Tao again, he should be satisfied!After saying a few polite words, he was about to accept the gift.

How can Luo Tao let him take it, "Uncle, I will take these, tell me where to put them?"

Zhu Lin also said: "Dad, just let him take it! Otherwise he will definitely feel uncomfortable."

"Ah! Okay then! I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Luo Tao also wanted to drag Wen, but he didn't know where to start. Should he say good things to each other or give in? It was too difficult. He just had to follow with a smile on his face and something in his hand.

Before entering the house, Zhu's mother came out, "I thought you would be waiting for a while, but I didn't expect it to be so early."

She was really happy. From now on, no one in this yard would say that no one wanted her daughter.

"Hello aunt, I have long admired your name."

"Xiao Luo, it doesn't matter if I call you that!"

"You sound so friendly when you call me that."

"Haha! You kid is really good at joking. Besides, what's my famous name?"

"..."

He followed Zhu Lin into the house and put away his things. When he came out, he saw the old couple waiting outside the door, not knowing what was going on.

He smiled and presented the painting to Zhu's father, "Uncle, I know you like painting, but I don't know if these two paintings are to your liking."

Seeing that he moved much faster this time, Zhu Lin helped unfold the painting. A plum tree stood proudly in the snow, and two or three sparrows were sleeping near the branches.

The plum blossom in the painting is proud and the little sparrow eyes are talking.

"Okay! Okay! This painting is really good. Mr. Jiang is worthy of the name Jiang Xugu."

This one is put away and another one is displayed.

"Okay! It's still good. The Thin Gold Book is also for everyone."

"Xiao Luo is so thoughtful, the courtesy is too heavy!"

"It's not heavy at all. Uncle likes it best."

"Auntie, I don't know what you like, so I took it upon myself to buy you some Beijing pastries. I don't know if they suit your taste."

"You are such a considerate child. I love to eat whatever you give me." I am very happy.

Luo Tao was also very happy, and then everyone was happy.

Those who cook, those who chat, each perform their duties, everyone is very busy!

The banquet was also very sumptuous, mostly Huaiyang dishes, as well as a few Sichuan dishes, spicy chicken, and stir-fried pork.

The rice cooked by my mother-in-law looks better and tastes much better than my mother's.

It seems that we must come here often at No. 38, Jinyu Alley!

Whether it is public or private, it seems that there is no public, so we must be diligent.Strive to have more parents as soon as possible.
