Chapter 355 The Prospective Son-in-Law Arrives at the Door
Zhang Wanqing stood by the window, looking out, and unexpectedly caught sight of her future brother-in-law riding a motorcycle into the family compound.
Her eyes lit up instantly, and her face lit up with excitement. She quickly turned around and strode to the kitchen doorway.
I saw my older sister, Zhang Wanshu, standing by the pool, washing fruit.
"Sister, don't wash it, I'll do it. You go downstairs quickly, brother-in-law is here." Zhang Wanqing said as she reached out to take the fruit from her sister's hand.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanshu paused for a moment, then quickly wiped her hands. "Okay, Qingqing, I've finished washing the fruit. Just put it in the fruit bowl."
"Okay, sis, go ahead." Zhang Wanqing urged, her hands already deftly taking the fruit and starting to arrange it in the fruit plate.
At this moment, Mr. Zhang was holding a plate of braised fish.
Seeing his youngest daughter's anxious expression, he couldn't help but smile at her mother.
"Acheng, if others don't know, they'll think Qingqing has become friends with someone else. Look how anxious she is."
Mr. Zhang was also puzzled. Why were his two children so different in personality? One was calm and composed, while the other was impulsive and quick-tempered.
Tang Cheng is setting out the bowls and chopsticks.
Hearing her husband's words, she responded with a smile. "I think Qingqing's personality is just like yours. I don't even know which boy has chosen our Qingqing. Luckily, our Wanshu is just like me."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanqing immediately stopped what she was doing. "Mom, I'm just efficient. Why can't I be like Dad? I'm not going to look for anyone else. I'll stay home with you two for the rest of my life."
Mr. Zhang smiled and nodded, looking at his youngest daughter with doting eyes. "Okay, my little girl, you can look for someone if you want, and you can't look for someone if you don't want to. Dad will take care of you for the rest of your life."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanqing happily hugged her father's neck and tilted her head up to her mother, looking quite pleased with herself.
"Just keep indulging her." Tang Cheng smiled helplessly. Just as she finished speaking, she heard footsteps coming up the stairs in the hallway.
"Here he comes, here he comes." Zhang Wanqing, with her sharp ears, immediately recognized her brother-in-law's footsteps. She quickly let go of his hand and stood neatly at the door with her parents, their faces beaming with warm smiles, ready to welcome their prospective son-in-law.
Zhang Wanshu's voice came from outside the door. "Mom and Dad, open the door."
Zhang Wanqing quickly pushed open the door and saw her future brother-in-law, Zhuang Tunan, standing at the door carrying large and small bags.
Her eyes lit up, and she immediately changed her tune. "Brother-in-law, we've been waiting for you. Mom and Dad just finished cooking."
Zhuang Tunan felt a little embarrassed by being called "brother-in-law," his face flushed slightly, but he couldn't help but smile, feeling incredibly happy.
He entered the house and quickly greeted everyone politely, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
Zhang Wanshu immediately introduced him to everyone: "Mom and Dad, this is my boyfriend, Zhuang Tunan."
Looking at the tall, handsome young man before her, exuding masculinity, Mrs. Tang was very satisfied and nodded with a smile. "Okay, okay, come inside quickly."
Zhuang Tunan was carrying two bottles of wine, two packs of cigarettes, two boxes of fresh meat mooncakes, and a small bag in his hands. Zhang Wanshu was carrying a cosmetics set and two boxes of fresh meat mooncakes.
Zhuang Tunan stepped forward. "Uncle, Aunt, this is my first time visiting, so I brought some gifts. I don't know if you'll like them." As he spoke, he took out a small box from the bag.
"Uncle, you must write a lot since you're a teacher, so here's a fountain pen for you. Auntie, this is some cosmetics for you."
Tang's mother smiled and quickly took the bag with both hands. Today was Tu Nan's first visit, and these days, Wan Shu had been praising Tu Nan to her all the time.
Seeing it in person now, my first impression is indeed quite good.
In Tang's mother's heart, regardless of whether the two children will eventually get married, she must treat this young man well today, after all, basic manners cannot be ignored.
If the two children can really walk down the aisle together, I hope that if I treat Tu Nan better, he can also be more considerate to Wan Shu.
"Tunan, thank you so much. Auntie was just about to run out of face cream, and you brought it over right away."
Mr. Zhang looked at the pen that Zhuang Tunan handed him. He knew this brand; it had been sold at the People's Department Store for several years, and he had even taken a closer look at it back then.
I didn't expect this young man to be so thoughtful and good at catering to my tastes. "Xiao Zhuang, come inside quickly."
Mr. Zhang greeted them warmly.
Zhuang Tunan took out a red envelope he had prepared in advance from his pocket and handed it to Wanshu's sister.
The moment Zhang Wanqing saw the red envelope, her eyes lit up, and her smile stretched to her ears. "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Tang's mother suddenly remembered that this was why she had felt empty inside, as if she had forgotten something important.
She quickly pulled a thick red envelope from her pocket. "Tunan, look how happy Auntie is, this is a red envelope for you."
Zhuang Tunan quickly accepted the red envelope with both hands, remembering his grandmother's instructions: it was customary for the mother-in-law to give a red envelope when a prospective son-in-law visited, and it also meant that the woman's family was very satisfied with him.
He bowed slightly, accepted the red envelope, and carefully put it away. "Thank you, Auntie."
He subconsciously handed the red envelope to Wanshu, who shook her head slightly and pointed to his pocket.
