Chapter 75
Zhou Qi was a little nervous now. Su Yuanzhan was sitting next to him and driving steadily. This time they were going out with a big group of people, so Su Yuanzhan changed to a car with a spacious back seat, which could accommodate six of them, no, seven, and a little bean sprout in Zhou Qi's belly. Wang Wang was sitting in Zhou Ma's arms, and Zhou Dad and Zhou Pan were sitting on one side. They also had some inexplicable emotions now.
Today, the parents of both parties have arranged to meet. He has met Su Yuanzhan's mother. She is an elegant lady with a good temper and is easy to get along with. But he doesn't know what Su Yuanzhan's grandfather is like. According to Su Yuanzhan, he grew up in the old house and spent more time with his grandfather than his mother. Later, his parents had a disagreement, so he almost stayed in the old house. His grandfather is also a very good person and has been looking forward to meeting Wangwang and Zhouqi.
Zhou Qi never knew that he had a mild procrastination problem. Whenever he encountered a major event in his life, he would involuntarily postpone it. This was the case with the proposal and the meeting with the parents. He could not postpone it any longer and finally made up his mind to meet them.
The venue was set at the courtyard house where I had dinner with Su Yuanzhan last time, which was about half an hour's drive away. Before coming, Zhou Qi had been struggling for a week about what to buy for Su Yuanzhan's grandfather, and finally asked Su Yuanzhan. Su Yuanzhan was quite casual, saying that he just needed to bring people over. Zhou Qi ignored him, and in the end, Su Yuanzhan helped him pick a set of Go. He didn't know Go either, so he relied on Su Yuanzhan to choose, saying that this kind of stone was of good quality and the old man would definitely like it.
His mother was a little easier to deal with. She went to the counters in the mall and bought two sets of skin care products. She also brought one set for Zhou's mother. There were too many skin care products for women. He could only listen to the shopping guide's introduction in a daze. He didn't know whether Liang Minsheng liked it or not.
When we arrived at the courtyard gate, Qiqiu's palms were sweating with nervousness. The three adults in the back seat got off with their children first, and Qiqiu stayed in his seat without moving.
Su Yuanzhan came closer to unbuckle his seat belt, touched the back of his hand, chuckled and asked, "Nervous?"
Zhou Qi glared at him and said nothing.
Su Yuanzhan touched his belly and said softly, "My grandfather is very kind, don't be afraid." He pinched Zhou Qi and reached over to open his hand on his belly. "If you are really nervous, just say hello and push Wangwang over when the time comes."
Zhou Qi pushed away his big face that was getting closer and closer, and said, "Okay, I'm getting out." After that, he opened the car door and went out.
Su Yuanzhan handed the car to the parking boy to park it, and led them to the private room, followed by a waiter.
At least I had been here before and the environment was familiar to me, so Zhou felt a little relieved.
Su Yuanzhan's grandfather was already inside, and he could hear him talking to Liang Minsheng before he even entered. As soon as he entered the door, Liang Minsheng came to greet him warmly, "You're here, come and sit down, in-laws." After greeting, he said to the waiter behind him, "The kitchen can serve the dishes now, tell them to hurry up."
Su Yuanzhan introduced the old man and his mother to their family. After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhou Qi followed Su Yuanzhan and called him "Grandpa". The old man looked so serious that even when he smiled, people's backs would shudder.
Wangwang regained his well-behaved appearance in front of strangers. He was cute and attractive when he smiled, but looked cold and lonely when he didn't smile. I didn't notice it before, but now I feel that his temperament is quite similar to Su Yuanzhan.
The old man was looking forward to seeing Wangwang the most among all the people present, and he kept glancing at the child. Wangwang, on the other hand, politely called out "Grandpa" and sat in his seat without saying anything. Zhou Qi knew that the child was also a little nervous and restrained.
Zhou's father and mother were also a little restrained, not used to this kind of scene. Liang Minsheng kept talking to Zhou's mother and Zhou Pan, chatting about some irrelevant topics, and they were quite harmonious. Zhou's father sat next to Su's grandfather and drank some tea slowly. His grandfather kept asking about Wangwang, and Zhou's father answered carefully.
Zhou Qi was pinned to the stool in silence, nervous as hell, and he placed the gift on an empty chair next to him, not knowing how to give it. Wang Wang was like him, too, waiting for the food to be served.
Su Yuanzhan reached over and held his hand, "What else do you want to eat? I ordered everything you liked last time. Do you have any snacks you want to eat?"
After hearing his question, Zhou Qi suddenly started to crave watermelon and wanted to eat the juicy fruit. He whispered to himself, "Is there any watermelon? I want to eat some."
Su Yuanzhan was stunned. It was only April and watermelon was not in season yet. Siheyuan advocated eating seasonal food, which was healthy, green and pollution-free. Watermelon was probably not available. He thought about it and asked the waiter to buy some. He said, "It should be available. I'll ask them to bring it up as dessert after dinner."
Wangwang was sitting respectfully beside Qiqi, but he was listening carefully. He leaned over to Qiqi and said coquettishly, "Dad, I want to eat watermelon-flavored smoothie."
Zhou Qi heard this and said solemnly: "It's only a few months now, there's nothing to eat."
Wangwang blinked his pitiful eyes, moved back, and said aggrievedly: "Isn't watermelon also eaten in summer?"
"Let's drink juice when the time comes. The weather is not hot yet." Zhou Qi compromised.
Wangwang was about to agree when he heard the old man ask, "Wangwang, what did you want to eat just now? I asked them to make it."
Zhou Qi retreated now, glanced at his father's expression, and said with a pursed mouth: "I just told my father that I want to drink watermelon juice."
"That's good." The old man laughed, "Grandpa, let them squeeze some fresh."
The dishes were served at a very fast speed in Siheyuan, and Zhou Qi ate slowly. This child was completely different from Wang Wang at that time. He had no taboos now and preferred dishes with strong flavors. Su Yuanzhan would occasionally say with a smile that if it was a boy, he would definitely be a rough man, and if it was a girl, she would definitely be a female man.
The old man liked Wangwang very much and kept picking food for him during mealtime. The bowl and plates were piled full. Wangwang ate his fill and spit out bones with his cheeks puffed out.
The meal was almost finished. Zhou Qi held the Go board and poked Su Yuanzhan beside him, saying in a low voice, "Help me deliver it."
Su Yuanzhan knew that he was nervous, so he followed his meaning and said, "Grandpa, Xiaoqi has picked out a gift for you." Then he stretched out his hand and handed the thing over.
The old man took it, rubbed it for a while, and seemed quite satisfied. He said, "You young people don't need anything, so I gave you a red envelope." He took out a red envelope from his Tang suit pocket and gave it to Zhouqi. Zhouqi hesitated for a while and took it. When he touched the red envelope, it was very thick. It didn't feel like much, but it was really a lot.
"Wangwang, come here. Grandpa will give you a gold pendant." The old man waved at Wangwang, with a gold lock lying in the palm of his hand.
Wang Wang walked over obediently, and the old man put it on for him. Then he touched his head and said, "My great-grandson is already this big, and it's time for great grandfather to make up for the things he should have given me before."
Wang Wang looked at the small golden lock and said, "Thank you, great grandfather."
After Zhou Qi delivered the things, he felt relieved immediately. Moreover, seeing that they liked Wang Wang very much, he felt relieved.
Before leaving, Zhou Qi personally gave the skin care products to Liang Minsheng. As for Su Yuanzhan's mother, he didn't feel so much pressure and could even make a few jokes.
After dinner, the old man was not in good health and could not stay outside for long, so Liang Minsheng asked the driver to drive him back home.
Zhou Qi let out a long sigh, hugged Wang Wang and said, "Are you nervous to see your great grandfather?"
"It's okay, it's just that my great grandfather looks too fierce." Wangwang stuck out his tongue, "I don't even dare to speak loudly."
Zhou Ma said, "They were speaking in a friendly manner, not harshly. You two should be more polite next time. The old man must be upset to see that his great-grandson is not close to him."
Zhou Qi hummed and nodded.
Mother Zhou was satisfied with her in-laws, and she came over to Zhou Pan and said, "Su Yuanzhan's mother said she wants to introduce you to a person who is a chief physician. You must go this time."
Zhou Pan had just broken up with the teacher at Zhouzhou School a few months ago. The male teacher discriminated against homosexuality and was the first to break up. Zhou Pan had been with him for a while and had feelings for him. She wanted to die clearly, so she asked politely why. The man stammered and she left without saying anything. Now she was single again, which worried Zhou's mother. She could talk to the aunt next to her about her daughter's lifelong event while riding the bus.
Su Yuanzhan got the car and heard them talking about this. "My mother is better at matchmaking. Xiaoqi also asked me for this."
This time, even Zhou Pan's blind date was taken care of, and Zhou's mother could be said to be in a very good mood.
According to the cycle, his current situation is special, so he should wait until the baby is born before getting married. Su Yuanzhan originally wanted to have a formal wedding, but the wedding process was complicated and the cycle was troublesome, so it took a long time to discuss before deciding. The family also agreed with Su Yuanzhan's plan. The two of them would have a banquet as a wedding, and only invite close relatives to celebrate. They couldn't have two children without any ceremony. After the banquet, they could go abroad to get married or go out, it was up to them.
But Su Yuanzhan has thought about it. After the child is born, he will go on a trip to get married. The atmosphere abroad is open. The two of them will go to get a marriage certificate first, and they can also go there to take a lot of wedding photos as a souvenir, and enjoy their honeymoon. He has already thought about what type of wedding photos he wants to take, a set of photos at the beach, and a few photos underwater. When the time comes, he will ask for the negatives to keep as screen savers, and pick a few of the best ones to hang in the bedroom. If Zhou's father and mother are not available to take care of the child, they can leave it to Liang Minsheng and Grandpa. Anyway, he wants to go out and have a good time.
The parents met several more times afterwards, and together with Su Yuanzhan, they arranged a banquet to entertain the guests. Zhou Qi was free, and while she was still pregnant, she went out for a walk after class every day, and even took the job of walking the dog every morning, which made Heige very happy.
When the baby was older, the belly was already vaguely visible. Su Yuanzhan arranged for Zhouqi to take a leave of absence from school, and his family also forced him to take good care of the baby and not run around. This time, the conditions were not as difficult as the last time when Wangwang was born, and he had to hide it for fear that others would discover his secret. Su Yuanzhan took him to a private hospital for a check-up on time. The privacy measures were well taken. It was the same doctor as last time, and he treated him like an ordinary normal person, which made Zhouqi feel more at ease and happy.
Su Yuanzhan was very happy every time he saw the baby growing up little by little in the B-ultrasound. He also kept mumbling when the brother or sister would come out. In his heart, he still wanted a brother who could be tossed around. He kept talking to his periodic stomach every day, asking the child to be a brother.
Su Yuanzhan has been so energetic recently that he decorated a children's room, and covered every corner with anti-skid mats, filled it with toys, and bought all kinds of children's clothes, both for boys and girls. When passing by the maternity area, he couldn't resist the salesman's advice and bought maternity clothes. When he was looking through the children's clothes, he found it and almost wanted to beat him to death.
Zhou Qi realized that the baby was growing in her belly when she was in a clothing store. The two of them were following Liang Minsheng to get their sizes taken for the suits they would wear on the day of the banquet. The designer asked them to try the style of the suits on first. Su Yuanzhan gave him a slim-fitting tuxedo, which was originally a waist-revealing style, but Zhou Qi couldn't button it up in the fitting room.
He was crying and lingering inside for a long time, so long that Su Yuanzhan pushed the door open and went in. What he saw was Zhou Qi touching his belly and sighing, "Because of you, Daddy can't even wear clothes."
At that time, Su Yuanzhan's heart was so soft that his love expanded like fermented bread and flowed through his every limb.
Finally, Zhou Qi had to choose a loose-fitting casual suit. When the designer measured his waist, he joked that young people couldn't do that because they would have a beer belly. Zhou Qi was really confused.
Wangwang was also dragged over to have a custom-made small suit made for him. It was slim and upright, and with a red bow tie, he looked so cute.
On the day of the wedding banquet, the family of three was a real eye-catching sight. Since they were all familiar relatives of both parties, everyone gave their blessings. Zhou Qi's eldest cousin even joked that she didn't expect that Zhou Qi would be the first to get married and have children.
Su Yuanzhan was forced to drink a lot of wine, and he was happy in his heart, so he accepted all the wine and got drunk. However, he was a good drinker, and after coming back, he was no different from usual, washing his face and brushing his teeth step by step. If it weren't for the nonsense that came out of his mouth from time to time, Zhou Qi would really think that this person had a huge capacity.
Liang Minsheng also changed the red quilt cover in Su Yuanzhan's room, which seemed a little abrupt in this simple and elegant room, but surprisingly warm and appropriate. Dad Zhou and his friends took Wangwang home to sleep. There were only two people in Su Yuanzhan's house, but unfortunately one of them was drunk.
The next morning, Su Yuanzhan woke up with a headache, thinking it was a pity. But even if it was a pity, the doctor had warned him not to do strenuous exercise, so he knew it.
Zhou Qi was sleepy these days, and half of his quiet profile was sunken in the pillow, which could be seen when he raised his eyes. Su Yuanzhan got up and washed up, thinking about buying breakfast from the restaurant that Zhou Qi liked to eat recently.
Walking on the street in the early morning, a cell phone ringtone suddenly sounded, and a gentle female voice sang softly, "The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old with you." Su Yuanzhan's eyes suddenly appeared Zhou Qi's face, his steps were brisk, his mood was happy, and life was long. Let's grow old together in the future.
