don't mess with me

Chapter 33
After Nezha left in the afternoon, I started to clean up the house and prepare for the return of the Supreme Emperor and Queen Mother.

While tidying up the Tianjie doll, I directed: "Here, and here, tsk tsk, your house is so dirty—there are melon seeds under the sofa, I can see it!"

I said depressedly: "How did I find out that you are gloating?"

Tianjie Doll suppressed a smile and said, "I can't wait to watch the big show, and I don't know how your parents will react when they see Lula."

After half an afternoon of hard work, the house looked much tidier. I threw the temporary rag from long johns into the bucket and said, "One more question, what shall we have for dinner?"

"It doesn't matter what you eat."

"It doesn't matter what you eat, but I have no money!"

The Tianjie doll said disdainfully: "You really don't understand the world at all. Your parents are anxious to see their future daughter-in-law, so they will come back empty-handed?"

As soon as I heard it, I couldn't help turning my worries into joy and said, "You're still cunning."

There was a loud knock on the door during the conversation, and I just opened the door and handed in a bundle of vegetables first: "Put it in the kitchen!" The emperor and queen mother finally came back!

I put the dishes away, and looked back at my parents, whom I hadn't seen for more than half a year. My father was still so big, but his face was tanned a lot, and his temples had some white hair. My mother was the most ordinary. A middle-aged and elderly woman out of shape, holding a durian in her hand, exuding a stinky smell.

I hurriedly took it and said, "Why do you buy it, you expensive one?"

Mom said: "It's not for you to eat, when will your partner arrive?"

"Let's get off work."

"What does she do?"

I said, "Nurse from Central Hospital."

"Oh, that's good." The mother took the lead in expressing her satisfaction with her daughter-in-law's career.

My dad pulled me on the sofa and said, "Tell me, what does her family do?"

"Her mother is a Chinese teacher, and her father seems to be an intellectual."

"Well, the family background is also good." Dad scrambled to express his affirmation of his in-laws.

My mother took a short break and said, "I'll cook, Lao Zhen, you can buy wine."

My dad asked me: "Is there no liquor at home?"

My mother shouted: "Let you buy red wine, and give the girls white wine?"

"Oh yes!" The old man ran out quickly.

My mother washed and cut vegetables quickly, prepared seasonings, and chatted with me casually, but she was obviously absent-minded-she would not settle down until she saw her daughter-in-law.

Dad came back in a while, and rushed to my mother with a bottle of red wine: "Is more than 100 red wine okay?"

Mom complained: "Why don't you buy better ones?"

"This is the best wine in the supermarket."

I hurriedly said: "Red wine, the taste of a dozen or a few hundred is the same!"

My mother glared at me, looked at her watch and said, "Ask when she will be here, my dishes are all ready."

I took out the phone and called, and Lula picked it up and said succinctly, "Go downstairs right away."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

My dad stabbed me: "What are you waiting for, you go pick him up."

"Oh." I started changing my shoes.At this time, Pippi staggered out of the small bedroom, and my father asked, "You still have a dog?"

"Well, I picked it up on the road." I introduced it to Pippi, "My parents."

Pippi shook his tail at the elders in a friendly way, my father grabbed its two front legs and observed for a while, and said: "This mongrel dog is not good, it doesn't bark when it sees strangers." Pippi immediately ignored it him.

I carried the Tianjie doll downstairs, and my mother smiled and said, "Hey, it's very romantic to give a small gift when we meet."

My dad learned the lesson of buying wine and said to me: "Give me a bigger one next time!"

As soon as I got out of the corridor, the Tianjie doll protested: "Your parents sent me out just after they came back?"

"Well, I still know that I love my son personally, and I will send you to Lula in a while."

In the community, Lula was looking at the building numbers one by one, and I waved: "This is it!"

Lula smiled and said, "Are you still in charge of welcoming them?"

"Under the orders of the elders, are you off work?"

"Ah."

I smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you today."

Lula waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I just have no place to go today, and I have to listen to my mother nagging when I get home. I said I want to go out with you, and she seemed so happy."

I said, "Let's string together words first?"

"What's the point? You know my specific situation. Except for the most important thing, you can't say anything. Aren't everything else quite satisfactory?"

"Then where did we meet?"

"Coffee shop, they all went on blind dates, but the people they dated didn't come, and then they met eyes."

I gave a thumbs up and said, "You should really write novels with your structural ability."

Lula said seriously: "Hey, how will I behave when I go up? Is it gentle and ladylike, or something?"

"Let's act in your true colors."

"Also, what purpose do you want to achieve when I come this time, to make your parents happy, or do you think I'm seriously unreliable and persuade you to break up with me so that you can continue to recover your freedom?"

"I won't call you here if I want to be free—be happy."

"Oh, then I have to remind you, you have to think about the reason why we broke up in the future, don't the old man and the old lady focus on me as a daughter-in-law, you will be passive in the future."

The Heavenly Doll said disdainfully, "I'm so confident!"

Before we went upstairs and entered the door, my parents stood in front of the door with lightning speed. After I opened the door, they looked behind me together. I stepped aside and said, "Let me introduce formally, this is Lula."

Lula walked in gracefully, and bowed politely: "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."

The eyes of the old man and the old lady lit up immediately, and they all called Lula to sit down and drink water.

After sitting down, Lula said politely: "I heard from Ting Qiang that your two elders usually work in other places?"

Dad said cautiously: "Yes, we just ran around the construction site. I am a supervisor and my mother cooks for people." My mother secretly pinched the old man hard.

Dad hurriedly added: "Although I'm a little tired, I still earn a lot of money."

Lula said with a smile: "It was quite hard work. Ting Qiang is considered stable now. In fact, your two elders can also go home and enjoy the happiness."

Mom and Dad laughed dryly and bowed their heads in agreement.The four of them sat silently for a while, and the mother got up and said, "Then what, I'll cook." Lula said, "I'll help you."

My mother pushed her hard on the sofa and said, "Sit down and sit down, how can I let you do it for the first time as a guest?" She said and kicked my dad, "Old Zhen, go and cut the durian."

"Oh." Lao Zhen understood, and hid in the kitchen with her mother.

Lula and I looked at each other with a smile, and felt rather embarrassed. After all, we are only meeting for the second time, so it is not easy to pretend to be intimate.

At this time, Tianjie Doll cleared her throat and said, "Come on, I'll direct the play for you—now you pretend to whisper to her, and then take the opportunity to pull her hand. Remember, you just pull it and then let go."

"Ah?" I whispered while holding its hand, "What's that saying?"

"It looks like you guys are familiar."

"Is it necessary to do so?"

"Your parents must still doubt your relationship. Do you think you are acting like a couple in love?"

I sneaked a peek into the kitchen, and it didn't matter—the old man and the old lady were sneaking at us too.

Tianjie Doll said: "If you don't solve the problem once and for all this time, you will still be in trouble in the future."

I had no choice but to lean closer to Lula pretending to be affectionate. Lula was a little wary and said, "What... are you doing?"

"I'm offended." I touched her hand as I said, pretending to say something else.

Lula also understood my intention immediately, and opened my hand pretending to be shy.

The old man and the old lady continued to work with a smile on their faces when they saw this scene.

"I've wronged you." I whispered to Lula.

Lula smiled lowly and said, "It's okay, you must be mentally handicapped when you take advantage of me, right?" When she said that, I really felt that I was touching a man...

Mom was frying and frying in the kitchen, and after a while, a large table was set up. Dad greeted us to eat at the table, and asked Lula, "Can I have a drink?"

Lula said, "Let's have a small cup then."

Dad poured wine for us, raised his glass and said, "Come on, Lula is welcome to our house."

Lula took a sip of her wine and smiled, "Thank you."

"Hey, how did you guys meet?" Dad put down his glass and began to touch on this question that all parents must ask.

"It's not the day when I went to meet the civil servants. She turned away without talking to me. At that time, Lula was sitting diagonally across from me. After we chatted, she also came for a blind date, so we met by accident." I said Lula's version of the acquaintance has been adapted to improve the believability of the story.

Dad said happily: "Look, blind date is still good, or you can meet such a good girl——Unfortunately, your mother and I have touched a few more for you, and it seems that you won't need it." Mom hates iron and kicks the old man under the table...

Mom said: "Lula, we are all real people, so we can say nothing. I heard that your parents are intellectuals. They won't dislike Xiaoqiang's family background, right?"

Lula said: "No, my mother just says she is nice, and Ting Qiang has already met my mother, she is very satisfied."

My mother was pleasantly surprised: "Have you met? Xiaoqiang, you didn't tell us about such a big thing."

Dad said solemnly: "Although our family's conditions are average, there is no problem with the RV. Besides this house, there is also a suite downstairs that is rented out." He began to show off his wealth to reassure Lula.

Lula smiled sweetly and said, "I like Ting Qiang's kindness, and I also like literature. We have a common language."

The Celestial Doll imitated Lula's tone and put on airs: "I like literature...huh!"

Dad was in a good mood, and he drank the wine in his glass and poured it for Lula. Lula said warmly: "Uncle, I can't drink it anymore. Alcohol should be done in moderation. This is also a professional habit."

Dad paused and said, "That's right, that's right."

After that, there was a scene of peace and joy during the banquet. Mom and Dad told some anecdotes about the construction site, and Lula told some jokes about the hospital. The whole family had a great time. 30 more streets with Natalie Portman...
