Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 85 Meeting the Parents

While He Yuanchao was drinking tea, he was looking at Zhang Min and his daughter with relish, arguing with each other.

There was a sound of opening the door, and the mother and daughter immediately stopped talking. The three of them unanimously focused on a man who came in from the door.

When the stern-faced man approached the three of them, He Yuanchao immediately put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up obediently.

This man in his 50s, of medium build, wearing a dark blue tunic suit, is most likely Zhang Min's father.

Seeing the man looking at him with a critical look, He Yuanchao, who had always had an excellent psychological quality, couldn't help but feel a tingle in his heart.

After calming down, He Yuanchao couldn't help but be stunned. After all, he hadn't confirmed the identity of the other party. He didn't know how to address the other party for a while. It would be a lot of fun if this caused an error.

"Old Zhang, this is He Yuanchao, the friend Li Mei introduced to our daughter. Yuanchao, the person in front of you is my wife, Zhang Min's father. You can just call me uncle."

Just when He Yuanchao was worried about the other party's identity and didn't know what to say, his caring future mother-in-law stepped forward to save him.

He Yuanchao breathed a sigh of relief and called out respectfully, "Hello, Uncle Zhang."

Lao Zhang raised his eyebrows and said "hmm", which was regarded as a response.

Then after he sat down on the sofa, he waved his hands seriously and said to He Yuanchao: "Sit down and talk."

Zhang Min was standing aside, feeling very unhappy when he saw his father treating the man he liked like this.

With a face on his face, he was about to speak to his father, but his mother, who had quick hands and quick eyes, stopped him with a stern look.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Min's mother took the girl's hand and walked to her bedroom.

"Why didn't you let me speak just now? Didn't you see how my father responded to aid Korea? The nose is not the nose, and the face is not the face."

As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Min couldn't bear it anymore, broke away from his mother's hand, and spoke angrily.

Seeing her daughter acting out, Zhang Min's mother didn't pay much attention. After glaring at her, she said, "Damn girl, isn't your dad doing this for your own good?"

"It's for my own good that I can do this to aid Korea."

Seeing the girl's attitude of a hen protecting her chicks, Zhang Min's mother smiled and said: "Men have their own way of solving problems. At this time, we should try to interfere as little as possible. In the future, if you and Yuan Korea become Now, you have to pay attention to this aspect, and don’t act petty like you did with your mother and me.”

Zhang Min didn't listen to anything else, but the words Zhang Min's mother said, "He and He Yuanchao got married" immediately got into his ears.

Zhang Min asked shyly: "Mom, when you say this, does that mean you agree?"

Zhang Min's mother angrily tapped her daughter's forehead with her finger, and then teased: "If you don't stay in college, you will become enemies if you stay in college. After all, someone wants you. Can I disagree?"

Upon hearing what his mother said, Zhang Min immediately stopped and started arguing with her mother in the room.

In the living room, looking at He Yuanchao sitting down obediently, Lao Zhangcai said expressionlessly: "Let's not talk about you and Xiao Min for now. Can we talk about your feelings after returning to this place and your future thoughts? ?"

There's something wrong with this script. Why doesn't Zhang Min's father follow the routine?Shouldn't he ask what he likes about Zhang Min?Or maybe Zhang Min has a bad temper and asks him to be more patient in the future. Why do you just ask him what he thinks about his work?

How could he, a man who always thinks about his wife and children, have such shitty ideas about the future?If he had an idea, it was because he was thinking about how to protect his family during the period after the wind started.

But you can't tell Zhang Min's father. If you tell him, you will either be sent to a mental hospital or have to be sectioned for study.

After waiting for a while, I saw He Yuanchao sitting there, frowning and making no movement.Lao Zhang was dissatisfied and was about to ask again.

He Yuanchao said: "Uncle Zhang, to tell you the truth, during the time I came back, I felt that local work was much more complicated than that of the army, especially in terms of personnel. So I want to see more now, Learn more, as for the future thoughts, I have no ideas for the time being.”

As soon as He Yuanchao finished his bachelor words, he was mentally prepared to be scolded or ridiculed.

But what he didn't expect was that after listening to his words, Zhang Min's father's stern face actually softened.

"It's fair to say that you are an honest kid and didn't talk too much to me."

After saying that, he glanced at He Yuanchao, whose expression remained unchanged, and Lao Zhang couldn't help but nodded inwardly. Apart from other things, his character of being unfazed by honor and disgrace was pretty good.

He took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, and threw the cigarette box in front of He Yuanchao.

Lao He was not polite, picked up the cigarette case from the table, took out a cigarette, and then lit a cigarette for Lao Zhang in a very stupid way.

After the two of them took two puffs of cigarettes, Lao Zhang spoke again: "The upgrade documents for your steel rolling mill will be released soon. What are your plans?"

Listening to the questions raised by Zhang Min's father, He Yuanchao couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart. Why did he agree to meet parents and turn into a work seminar?

The words I had prepared before were useless now.

After spitting out the words in his mouth, He Yuanchao said sincerely: "I plan to work hard at my current position for two years and accumulate more experience before talking about anything else."

"Does Minister Chen also mean this?" After listening to He Yuanchao's words, Lao Zhang frowned and looked at He Yuanchao in front of him and asked.

Seeing He Yuanchao's confused look, Lao Zhang relaxed his brows and said to himself: "Did you not go to Minister Chen to discuss this matter? Otherwise, with Minister Chen's style of doing things, he would definitely not let you do this. Do it, you must know that this kind of thing means that you can't catch up step by step, and you can't catch up step by step. In this way, when you go back, go find Minister Chen and see what he says."

As soon as Zhang Min's father finished speaking, He Yuanchao felt a little confused.

Minister Chen, he doesn’t know either?

"Uncle Zhang, I don't know Minister Chen!" He Yuanchao said aggrievedly.

After hearing what He Yuanchao said, Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then asked doubtfully: "Li Mei said, wasn't your job arranged by Minister Chen Cheng of the Ministry of Metallurgy? How come you don't know Minister Chen?" "

After saying that, he looked at He Yuanchao suspiciously.

Seeing Zhang Min's father looking at him, He Yuanchao quickly explained in detail how the head of the army had found someone to arrange work for him.

Lao Zhang frowned and smoked while listening to He Yuanchao's narration.
