Chapter 218 Hongdou's Parents
In the following days, Xu Hongdou could hardly work normally. She was often taken back by Lu Cheng to torture him, which made Xu Hongdou love and fear him at the same time. Although the process was very thorough and there was a kind of hysterical pleasure, it was also really tiring.
When the two of them set out to drive to Xu's house, Xu Hongdou actually breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hongdou, your physical fitness is still not up to par. You must practice more."
"Even if I practice more, I can never be as strong as you. I don't know what you ate to grow up."
"I do have some experience in improving physical fitness. When I get back to my hometown, I will help my uncles and aunts take care of their bodies and ensure that they are in good health and enjoy everything they eat."
"If you can do this, I..."
"What about you? Tell me."
"I will agree to one condition."
"No problem, just watch."
"You're going to meet my parents, and you don't seem nervous at all."
"Why should I be nervous? I am confident that I can satisfy my parents-in-law and let them willingly hand over their precious daughter to me."
"You are so confident. When we get to the next service area, do you want me to drive for a while while you take a break?"
"No, don't you know my stamina? Don't worry, it's only about 600 kilometers. Maybe I can still make it in time for lunch at home."
"Drive slowly, there's no rush."
"Listen to you."
The two set out early in the morning and drove for five or six hours, arriving at the third-tier small city where the Xu family lived at noon.
Xu Hongdou had called in advance and sent her parents the location and other information from time to time along the way.
As soon as the car arrived at the residential area where the Xu family lived, Xu Hongdou saw from afar through the car window that her parents were already waiting at the gate of the community.
When the car stopped, Xu Hongdou jumped out immediately: "Dad, Mom. We are back."
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
Lu Cheng also hurriedly got out of the car and took the initiative to greet them: "Hello, uncle and aunt."
Hongdou's mother looked Lu Cheng up and down, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she was. "Is this Lu Cheng? He's even more handsome and awesome than in the video. That's great."
Hongdou's father also smiled and said, "Your aunt is just like that, she likes handsome guys. Come on, stop talking here, and go home first."
"Yes, park the car first and let's go home. We have prepared the meal and are waiting for you to come back."
After driving the car into the community and finding a spot to park, Lu Cheng opened the trunk and took out boxes of gifts, including fine wine, cigarettes and tea for Hongdou's father, as well as nutritional supplements, bracelets and other things for Hongdou's mother.
At first, Xu Hongdou didn't want Lu Cheng to spend so much money, but Lu Cheng had already prepared part of it in advance, and said something like a son-in-law shouldn't be too shabby, so Xu Hongdou had no choice but to let him do it.
After the two had a deep communication, Xu Hongdou had begun to consider the issue from the perspective of Lu Cheng's wife. She no longer treated Lu Cheng as an outsider and was no longer polite to him.
"You kid, just come. You're carrying so many things. Did you have a smooth journey?"
"Fortunately, everything went smoothly. I got here while chatting with Anko."
The community where the Xu family lives is not big and the environment is pretty good.
Xu Hongdou's father is named Xu Jianguo. He used to run a small business. In the past two years, he has grown older and his two daughters are filial and promising, so Xu Jianguo no longer does business.
Xu Hongdou's mother is named Liu Guiqin, and she is very enthusiastic.
We arrived at Xu Hongdou's house. The house was not too big, but it was very cozy. There were some flowers and plants on the windowsill, which were well taken care of. It was obvious that the old couple loved life very much.
After arriving home, Hongdou's mother immediately went to the kitchen to serve the dishes and rice. Xu Hongdou also went to help. Xu Jianguo pulled Lu Cheng to sit on the sofa and chat.
Although it was Lu Cheng's first visit and they had not chatted much, the old couple were already quite satisfied with Lu Cheng.
She is wealthy, her parents are both deceased, she is good-looking, has a good figure, and is well-educated. Just standing here makes people very satisfied.
As they were talking, the food had already been served on the table. Hongdou's mother greeted them warmly, "Lu Cheng, come and eat the food. Try to see if the food made by your aunt is to your taste."
"Thank you, Auntie. When Hongdou and I went on a trip together before, she cooked for us. The vinegar-fried potato shreds she made were especially delicious. She even said she learned it from you, Auntie."
As he spoke, Lu Cheng took a bite of the food, then immediately nodded and praised: "Auntie, with your level, if you open a restaurant, the business will definitely be good."
"It's delicious, just eat more."
As she spoke, Hongdou's mother picked up a piece of food for Lu Cheng with her chopsticks.
"Thank you auntie."
Lu Cheng also expressed his appreciation for Hongdou's mother's cooking skills with his actions. He ate with big mouthfuls. Although his movements were fast, he did not seem rude at all. After all, he was a former emperor, so he was absolutely impeccable in terms of etiquette.
During the meal, Hongdou's father insisted on having a few drinks with Lu Cheng to test Lu Cheng's drinking habits.
The result is predictable. Although Xu Jianguo drank less and Lu Cheng drank more, Xu Jianguo eventually got drunk while Lu Cheng acted as if nothing had happened.
The meal took a long time. After the meal, Xu Jianguo drank too much and went to rest. Hongdou's mother sat down and chatted for a while. She also asked Xu Hongdou to take Lu Cheng to the room to rest. After all, Lu Cheng had been driving for the whole morning.
In Xu Hongdou's room, the two of them were lying on the bed. Xu Hongdou was still complaining: "My dad is really something. I already told him that you can drink a lot, but he wanted to compete with you in drinking, and ended up getting himself drunk."
"It's okay. I'm watching. My father-in-law is in good health. I'll help him recover later."
After resting for more than an hour, Xu Hongdou and Lu Cheng got up and moved around together. Hongdou's mother also came to the living room and prepared a fruit plate and tea.
"Lu Cheng, you've been traveling for the whole morning. Why don't you take a break?"
"It's okay, Auntie, we've rested well."
"Then sit down and talk. Lu Cheng, I heard from Hongdou that you are not going to work in the hospital anymore?"
"Yes, I have opened a new company and I am busy with it. Actually, my parents left me a lot of assets. Even if I do nothing, I can still live well with Hongdou. But people can't just sit there doing nothing, right?
I have been studying medicine and have made some achievements. But as a doctor, you don't have much free time. I was fine by myself before, but now that I am with Hongdou, I want to spend more time with her. Our family has several hotels, including the one where Hongdou works now. I plan to let Hongdou manage them.
As for myself, I have opened a pharmaceutical company and established a private laboratory, and I plan to concentrate on scientific research. This will give me more freedom and allow me to spend more time with Hongdou. When we have children in the future, I will be able to educate them better. ”
Hearing that Lu Cheng had planned for the future and had already thought about children, Hongdou's mother was even happier.
"We don't understand these things either. You young people can do whatever you want. As for making money, it's enough as long as you have enough to spend. We, as elders, don't ask you to become rich. As long as you can live a good and peaceful life, that's better than anything else."
"Don't worry about this..."
