Chapter 305: Future Father-in-law Meets Son-in-law at the Wine Table
There is a desk between the head of the bed and the window, and the bookshelf on it is full of books.
There is a row of wardrobes near the door.
Xia Miao's room is not luxurious, but it is very tidy.
"How's my room?"
He Shu nodded: "Very good."
"Hehe, come sit for a while, we'll go out after dinner."
Xia Miao pulled He Shu to sit beside the bed. He Shu was still looking around Xia Miao's room and felt that the room was full of Xia Miao's scent.
"Should I go out and help my uncle cook?"
"No need, my dad cooks all the time and he's very good at it. His cooking is better than my mom's."
He Shu was very envious after hearing this. No wonder Xia Miao had such a good personality and was so lovely. It was such a blessing to grow up in such a family.
Xia Miao took many of her beloved treasures to show He Shu. About twenty minutes later, Xia Miao's father came over and called them to eat.
He Shu nervously followed Xia Miao to the restaurant, only to see six dishes on the table, which was a very sumptuous meal.
"I didn't know you were coming, and I didn't prepare anything in advance, so let's just make do with the home-cooked food."
Xia Miao's father enthusiastically asked He Shu to sit down. Xia Miao smiled secretly on the side. Usually, there were three people in their family, so they would cook four dishes at most. Today, they had obviously added two dishes on purpose.
Xia Miao's mother served He Shu a big bowl of rice, pressing it very tightly. "Eat, He Shu. There are not so many rules in our family. Just take what you want to eat."
"Thank you, uncle and aunt."
Although he was told not to be polite, He Shu still felt nervous as it was his first time having dinner with his girlfriend's parents and his first time visiting their home.
Xia Miao kept picking up food for him, and Xia Miao's father asked about things at their school. They ate and chatted, and gradually the tension disappeared.
But Xia Miao's mother gave him so much rice that it seemed like he could never finish it.
"How's it going? Is my cooking okay?"
Xia Miao's father brought over a bottle of white wine: "Does He Shu drink?"
He Shu hurriedly said, "Uncle, I've never drunk white wine, only beer."
"There's no beer at home. It's okay if you come and drink a little with me."
He said he should drink less, so Xia Miao's father poured He Shu about two taels of wine.
"It doesn't matter if you drink too much. There's room at home. If not, you can sleep here tonight."
This sentence made He Shu not know how to respond for a moment. He looked at the two taels of white wine and felt a little timid.
I thought to myself that I must not drink too much, otherwise it would be bad if I lost my composure.
"He Shu, have you been living with your godfather since you came back?" Xia Miao's mother picked up some dishes for He Shu and asked casually.
"Yeah."
"Didn't a developer give you a house as a gift after you finished the college entrance examination?"
Xia Miao's father said, "It's not covered yet, right? I passed by a few days ago and saw that the outside was almost finished."
He Shu nodded: "Yes, we will be able to take possession of the house almost next year."
Xia Miao's mother smiled and said, "That's great. I'll have my own home when I return to Danhe in the future."
"Mom, what are you talking about? Uncle Zhao's home is He Shu's." Xia Miao felt that her mother's words were impolite.
He Shu just smiled when he heard that, lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of rice.
Xia Miao's mother rolled her eyes at Xia Miao and said, "Don't be so sensitive, kid. He Shu, that's not what I meant. We don't lack a place to live, but when you grow up, you'll have to have a home of your own."
He Shu looked up in a daze. What did Xia Miao's mother mean?
"Hey, why are you talking about that now? We don't know whether they will come back in the future. Come to Heshu and have a drink with uncle."
He Shu quickly raised his glass, took a sip of the white wine, and his face immediately flushed.
This wine is really spicy, and the alcohol content is probably not low. He quickly ate another mouthful of food to suppress the burning feeling.
"Don't just eat, eat more vegetables, and try the fish I stewed. He Shu, let me tell you, uncle is the best at cooking fish, my Xia Miao loves it..."
Before he knew it, He Shu's wine glass was empty. He easily got red in the face when he drank, and after drinking two taels of liquor, his face turned red.
Alcohol also begins to suppress the cerebral cortex, making me feel a little dizzy.
Seeing this, Xia Miao's father poured another two taels of wine for He Shu...
"Dad, He Shu can't drink anymore."
Xia Miao took He Shu's wine glass aside and picked up some food for He Shu: "Eat more food and don't drink with my dad."
He Shu nodded woodenly. Xia Miao's mother was full, and when she saw that Xia Miao was full too, she pulled her away from the table.
"Let your dad talk to He Shu for a while."
Xia Miao was dragged away by her mother, and Xia Miao's father handed the wine glass back to He Shu: "You can drink quite well, drink a little more with uncle, it's boring for me to drink alone on weekdays."
Xia Miao's father said this, and He Shu was embarrassed to refuse, but at this time he still had some reason: "Uncle, if I drink more, I will get drunk."
"What's there to be afraid of if you're drunk? Just sleep here."
Xia Miao's father stuffed the wine glass into He Shu's hand and saw his wife pulling their daughter into the bedroom.
He smiled and moved the stool next to He Shu, patted his shoulder and said, "Uncle admires you very much. You and Xia Miao have been together for such a long time. Although we don't always contact each other, uncle knows that you are a good child."
" Uncle will feel relieved to leave Xia Miao to you from now on ."
This was the first time that Xia Miao's family responded positively to the matter between him and Xia Miao. He Shu was very happy and touched.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely treat Xia Miao well."
"Haha, I'm relieved. Come on, let's have another drink."
Xia Miao's father also worked his way up from the bottom, working as a loader and a salesman.
Although I am not rich now, I have opened a small company and am a boss. My life is better than most.
Xia Miao's father has already thoroughly studied the culture of the drinking table.
A rookie like He Shu was persuaded to drink another glass of white wine without realizing it. After drinking for a while, he saw Xia Miao's father as a double.
Today's drinking was also intentional by Xia Miao's father. Seeing that He Shu was almost done, he did not force him to drink any more, for he was also afraid that he would hurt his body.
Why did he let He Shu drink? Because Xia Miao's father firmly believed that good drinking habits would lead to good character.
Especially when you have drunk to a certain extent but not yet completely drunk.
People are most likely to react to their inner words, actions and behaviors.
After all, I only have this one daughter. I have raised her to be so pampered and she has such a good education. It would be terrible if she had a bad marriage in the future.
So, today, Xia Miao's mother also cooperated with her man. She knew that her daughter was too proactive.
But as parents, no matter how much their daughter likes the boy and how much she praises him, they will not let go so easily unless they understand him thoroughly.
After all, there are many hypocritical scoundrels in this world, and it is definitely not enough to just judge by appearances.
When a child grows up, he is no longer under the control of his father and mother. A family raising an only daughter needs even more care.
Xia Miao's father looked at He Shu. This kid must have drunk enough. He should be almost done. He was sitting there with his eyes wide open, looking quite obedient.
"He Shu, uncle wants to ask you, do you really like my Xia Miao?"
