Chapter 227 My brother-in-law looks very reliable
"sister!"
As soon as Chen Jianghe and Xu Zhixi entered the door, they heard a crisp shout.
In the blink of an eye, a girl in high school uniform ran out from the inner room and quickly came to the two of them.
She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with eyes and eyebrows somewhat similar to Xu Zhixi. Although she was still young, she was already very charming, with bright eyes and white teeth. Her hair was tied up with a rubber band in a slightly casual manner. She had fair and beautiful facial features and skin as soft as water, revealing the pure and beautiful temperament unique to a girl.
"Hello, brother-in-law."
The girl greeted Chen Jianghe with a smile, not shy at all.
"My sister, Xu Zhijun." Xu Zhixi introduced her to Chen Jianghe with a smile.
Without saying anything, Chen Jianghe took out the thickest red envelope from the Maotai gift bag and handed it over: "Take it and buy some candy."
"Thank you, brother-in-law~"
Xu Zhijun didn't bother to be polite with him. She accepted the red envelope with a smile on her face, calling him brother-in-law all the time, sounding so sweet.
Chen Jianghe accepted it happily, but Xu Zhixi's cheeks turned slightly red.
Hearing the noise at the door, a group of people came out from the inner room . Chen Jianghe looked around and thought that his grandmother's family was already very large, but he didn't expect that compared with the population size of Teacher Xu's family, it was completely dwarfed.
Fortunately, I made sufficient preparations before leaving. There were hundreds of red envelopes in the gift box bag of two bottles of Moutai, so I could give them to everyone I met and show my sincerity.
Chen Jianghe's actions clearly showed that he took meeting the parents as seriously as going to the bride's house to welcome her.
"Neighbors have also come to see you." Xu Zhixi said quietly.
"Oh, it's the neighbor."
Chen Jianghe nodded and stood at the door to accept the gazes of everyone. If it weren't for his wife standing beside him with her arm around his, he would have felt like a bride-mothering guest, which was quite stressful.
"We are neighbors and family members, so there is no need to give red envelopes." Xu Zhixi reminded quietly, and then said, "Let's go, I'll introduce you."
Xu Zhixi walked in with Chen Jianghe, and when they got in front of the crowd, she introduced them and greeted them, behaving very gracefully.
Chen Jianghe was not at all nervous. He took out a pack of Jin Sheng cigarettes and opened it, then handed the cigarette to the man with a smile. After passing it around for most of the way, his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw a tall, middle-aged handsome man.
"This is my dad." Xu Zhixi introduced softly.
"Dad." Chen Jianghe followed suit and called out "Dad". Although he knew that his father-in-law didn't smoke or drink, he still handed him a cigarette with a smile.
Chen Jianghe's call of "Dad" made the relatives and neighbors around him laugh.
In particular, Xu Zhixi's cousins, the brothers Xu Ziming and Xu Ziguang, laughed the loudest. They thought that this boy was really brave. He directly called him "Dad" when they first met. When the county magistrate's son came to their house for a blind date, they still lined up outside the door obediently.
Huang Wencheng himself was a little surprised, but he still took the cigarette handed to him with a warm smile and put it behind his ear. He was the son-in-law of the Xu family and had a low status in the family. His wife Xu Wenlan had the final say on all matters, big and small.
"Dad, where is my mom?" Xu Zhixi asked softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, mother Xu Wenlan walked out from the kitchen. Seeing Chen Jianghe standing side by side with her eldest daughter in the crowd, she smiled calmly and nodded without saying anything.
Xu Zhixi calmly raised her index finger, quietly gestured to Chen Jianghe, and whispered, "My mother."
"No need to introduce her." Chen Jianghe smiled, looked at Xu Wenlan and said, "You can tell from her temperament that she is my mother."
As soon as these words came out, the sister-in-law Xu Zhijun smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, you must be here to propose marriage, right?"
Hearing this, Chen Jianghe turned to Xu Zhixi and said, "Zhijun is such a smart kid. I think she's likely to be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University. We need to focus on training her."
Xu Zhixi covered her lips and smiled, thinking to herself, you really don't consider yourself an outsider. In front of so many relatives, you praise this and that, and your little mouth is as sweet as honey.
But Xu Zhijun smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, in the joint entrance examination some time ago, I ranked first in the county and third in the city. My ideal university is Sun Yat-sen University."
“That’s amazing!”
Chen Jianghe gave her a thumbs up. No wonder the words "Scholarly Family" were hung on the door. So the whole family is a top student, and I'm the only one who could barely get into a second-tier university?
Wait, the ideal university is CUHK???
Chen Jianghe thought to himself, you should try harder and get into Peking University or Tsinghua University.
With Xu Zhijun's high EQ "brother-in-law" as a help, those relatives and neighbors who were still laughing at Chen Jianghe for being "bold and shameless" were too embarrassed to continue laughing.
"Zhijun, I haven't married your sister yet, why are you in such a hurry to call me brother-in-law?" Xu Ziming couldn't help but ask because he was outspoken.
"Brother Ming, don't you know what kind of person my sister is?"
Xu Zhijun is pretty, but has a bit of a hot temper: "From childhood to adulthood, have you ever seen her bring a boy home?"
"No." Xu Ziming shook his head.
"Have you ever seen her holding a boy's arm?" Xu Zhijun asked again.
Xu Ziming stared at Chen Jianghe and Xu Zhixi, only to find that his cousin had been holding his arm.
No wonder.
Xu Zhixi is beautiful and is well-known in Jiangwan Town and even the entire Wuyuan County. When she was in high school, people came to her house one after another to propose marriage. During the Spring Festival holidays in recent years, her house is even more crowded. Her blind date candidates are not limited to local young people , but also many people from other places who come here because of her reputation.
But Xu Zhixi didn't like any of them. No matter what kind of family they were from or how high the bride price was, she couldn't be impressed.
Everyone thought that Xu Zhixi was too picky, so when they learned that she was going to bring her boyfriend back, they all gathered around curiously. They didn't expect that the young man she brought back was nothing special except that he was handsome.
The key is that he is a foreigner.
"Your name is Chen Jianghe, right?"
Huang Wencheng, who had been silent until now, asked with a smile.
"Yes." Chen Jianghe nodded with a smile: "Erdong Chen, the great river."
"The name is very impressive." Huang Wencheng nodded with a smile, and then asked: "Where is your hometown?"
"I'm from Dongguan." Chen Jianghe replied.
"One is Guangdong and the other is Jiangxi, they are a bit far apart." Huang Wencheng said in a calm voice.
“It’s a bit far indeed.”
Chen Jianghe expressed his approval and was about to say something, but his sister-in-law beat him to the punch: "Dad, when it comes to love, distance is not a problem, region is not a difference, feelings are the only thing that matters."
"My brother-in-law looks reliable at first glance." Xu Zhijun added, then quietly reached out and touched the red envelope in her pocket.
Chen Jianghe exclaimed in his heart, wow, that thickest red envelope was really given to the right person.
However, as the youngest daughter in the family, Xu Zhijun's words naturally had no weight. Her mother Xu Wenlan patted the back of her hand and said, "Why are you interrupting when adults are talking? Go back to your room and do your homework."
"oh!"
Xu Zhijun said "oh" and walked into the house with her lips pouted. After walking a few steps, she turned back and shook her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I'm hungry."
"My sister-in-law has a really high EQ." Chen Jianghe couldn't help but lean close to whisper in Xu Zhixi's ear .
"Of course." Xu Zhixi smiled faintly: "High IQ, high EQ, good enough to be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University."
"My wife is the best." Chen Jianghe said softly again.
"You're so talkative~" Xu Zhixi said lightly, but she felt particularly comfortable in her heart.
