A different life with a system reborn

Chapter 198: Seeing Parents

"Um~ No, no, it's not that exaggerated. There's no need to be fancy. I'm just lazing around at home these days. I'll just clean it up later."

Zhao Dongsheng quickly left the living room and went to the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror. It had been almost 20 days since he came back. He really hadn't taken care of it. His hair was a little longer, but it was only compared to a short haircut. He usually just washed his face and was done.

Zhao Dongsheng went to wash his hair first. When he went to bed at night, his hair was messy. If he didn't wash it again, he really couldn't take care of it.

The key point is to clean the places that are easy to hide dirt, such as pierced ears, nostrils and corners of the eyes. Of course, these are usually cleaned, but now the focus is on cleaning again to avoid omissions.

Goodbye, I cleaned my nose hair and beard, rinsed my mouth carefully, and then smelled my mouth. My whole body suddenly felt refreshed.

I found my mother and took a pair of nail scissors to trim the nails, and then went to the room to put on the clothes and shoes prepared last night, and the whole person suddenly became refreshed and handsome.

"Tsk, tsk, as expected, the fourth child is the most handsome."

The one who said this is the eldest sister. It can be said that in the eyes of the eldest sister, Zhao Dongsheng is the most handsome guy. Even when Zhao Dongsheng was at his most decadent in the previous life, the eldest sister could praise him to the sky as long as he took care of himself a little.

"Hey, eldest sister has a good vision."

Zhao Dongsheng smiled brightly, showing his white teeth.

The way he treated himself was not only a sign of respect for Liao Yanan, but also a sign of respect for others.

Today is New Year's Eve. No matter what the purpose of someone inviting you to such an important day, the most basic cleaning must be done well. Not only can you get a good impression, but it can also add a lot of color to their home.

So no matter what time, clean and tidy is definitely the best first impression.

After finishing all this, my mother served breakfast, her specialty of eggs and noodles, but maybe because Zhao Dongsheng was going out at noon, she didn't even add onions and garlic.

"Fourth, you should pay attention to listening and watching more in the past."

"You need to have life in your eyes, don't just sit there and stare blankly."

"You drink less at noon, drinking will cause trouble, and drinking is easy to talk too much."

"you……"

Zhao Dongsheng finished the noodles despite his mother's tireless instructions.

"Yeah, ok, ok"

Zhao Dongsheng did not refute, and looked like he was listening attentively. Even though he was no longer a child, he was smiling while listening to his mother's nagging. He was happy at this moment.

The sisters and husband-in-law didn't say much and looked at everything with smiles. They were also happy at this moment.

……

After eating breakfast, Zhao Dongsheng stopped letting Wu Yun hold him. Although he was still small, it did not affect his hair loss. If he hugged Wu Yun, he would have to rearrange himself for a long time, so he could only let Wu Yun look at him with resentful eyes. The niece grabbed it and went to play with it.

At ten o'clock, Zhao Dongsheng took the prepared gift and took the car key from his father. The car had been specially cleaned by his future second brother-in-law, and the inside and outside were spotless.

I said hello to my parents and drove away alone. I also sent a message to Liao Yanan before setting off to avoid the embarrassment of coming directly to the door.

When they reached the village entrance from a distance, they saw Liao Yanan standing on the roadside waiting.

"Why are you standing here? It's such a cold day and you're not afraid of freezing. Get in the car quickly."

Zhao Dongsheng drove beside her and motioned for Liao Yanan to get in the car.

"I'm afraid you won't find out where my home is, and I'm bored at home, so I'll come here and wait for you."

As soon as Liao Yanan got in the car, he kept looking at Zhao Dongsheng, his eyes curved into crescent moons, and an unstoppable smile on his face.

"You silly girl, just stand at the door, it's cold at the intersection."

Zhao Dongsheng looked at her slightly pale face. She was obviously wearing makeup today, but the cold wind had made her hair a little messy, so he quickly went over to tidy it up for her.

"Hehe, it's not cold at all, especially when I'm waiting for you. Come on, I'll show you the way. My parents are already waiting for you, and don't be scared later."

Liao Yanan said something playfully, then stretched out his hand and pointed forward, as if charging forward.

"Okay, let's go."

It wasn't actually that far into the village. I just turned two corners and stopped in front of a two-story house. Following Liao Yanan's instructions, the vehicle parked directly on the Shaigu Ping in front of the house.

Zhao Dongsheng was startled as soon as he entered the room. He had been prepared when he heard Liao Yanan say not to be scared, but he didn't expect that the small living room was full of people.

"Uncle, aunt, grandma, aunt and uncle, happy New Year, happy New Year."

Zhao Dongsheng was just a little dazed. He had seen photos of Liao Yanan's parents and grandmother. He first greeted these people, and then the rest looked at Liao Yanan, waiting for her introduction, and then greeted them one by one.

Zhao Dongsheng couldn't remember any of the seven aunts, eight wives, cousins, etc. After going around, there were really too many people.

Zhao Dongsheng had already given the gifts to Liao Yanan, which he told her in the car. They included tobacco and alcohol for her father, cosmetics for her mother, nutritional supplements for her grandmother, and some sea cucumbers and the like. The tonics were all prepared by my mother from the New Year’s goods brought back by Zhao Dongsheng.

Among them, there are double servings of tobacco and alcohol. This is actually a return gift for their family. The things he gave are quite expensive. Chinese people pay attention to reciprocity, so prepare double servings of tobacco and alcohol.

Just because they would be in a hurry to return the gift when Zhao Dongsheng left, they could just return a piece of cigarettes and wine without losing etiquette or looking shabby.

The reason why he told Liao Yanan in advance was that he was afraid that in this situation, there would be too many people, and it would not be appropriate to talk about gifts at this time, and there was no need to worry that no one would know about taking these gifts.

There is no privacy in the countryside, and the things he took can be easily communicated to others.

"Well, come on, sit down."

Father Liao looked serious, but he was not too embarrassed. He motioned for him to sit down and talk.

"Yaya, give Xiaodong a cup of tea."

Mother Liao was quite happy, however, and asked Liao Yanan to make tea. But as soon as she said the words, she saw that Liao Yanan had already brought tea and came to Zhao Dongsheng's side.

"Brother Dong, have a cup of tea and warm yourself up."

Liao Yanan didn't notice her mother calling her at all. Her eyes were filled with Zhao Dongsheng's look. After putting down her tea, she sat down next to him.

Seeing this, Father Liao's face seemed to turn darker.

"Xiaodong, right? Do you smoke?"

Father Liao said and handed the cigarette to Zhao Dongsheng.

"Thank you, uncle. I know how to smoke, but I don't smoke much."

Zhao Dongsheng stood up and took the cigarette with both hands. Instead of smoking directly, he first took out a lighter and lit it for his father, and then started to light the cigarette himself.
