Mother Di raised her head to look at the quartz watch on the wall. It was 11: 40 pm. She mumbled in confusion, "Who would come at this hour?"
Father Di found it strange too. After all, this was lunchtime. Normally, no one would visit at this time.
But exposing the cunning kid's lies was the most important thing right now. He didn't care too much and took out his phone to call Celine's father.
Ring ring ring!
The call went through but was quickly hung up. He was extremely puzzled. He was about to call again when he heard Mother Di's voice from outside, "Old man, you don't have to call anymore. Celine's father is here."
Papa Di was taken aback. He hurriedly walked out of the bedroom and saw Celine's parents and Anival's parents coming together. They were even carrying bags of various sizes as if they were visiting relatives. He asked in shock, "Hauna, Aikel, what are you doing?"
Although they knew each other and had a good relationship, they never visited each other during the holidays. This was the first time Celine's father, Hauna, and Anival's father, Aikel, had come.
"It's almost New Year. We're here to freeload a meal. Brother Mulati, you won't reject us, right?"
Hauna laughed heartily. He passed the gifts to Mother Di and changed into a pair of cotton slippers.
"Of course you're welcome. Hurry up."
Although puzzled, Uyghurs were always hospitable. Father Di smiled and warmly invited them to sit on the sofa.
Diba's house wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. It was about 120 square meters and had three bedrooms and a living room. The living room wasn't small either. It was more than 20 square meters.
But Hauna and Aikel were both wrestlers, so they were very strong, like two big bears. When the two of them sat on the sofa, the sofa was filled to the brim, and there was no place for the others to sit.
Mother Di hurriedly moved a few more chairs out before everyone took their seats. She pulled Celine and Anival's mother over to chat about family matters.
"We have guests. Hurry up and add a few more dishes."
Father Di opened a pack of Snow Lotus King and lit it. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he casually instructed Mother Di.
"Alright!"
Auntie Di responded with a grunt of acknowledgment. She smiled and asked Celine and Anival's mother to sit for a while before she got up and walked to the kitchen.
Usually, if a guest suddenly came to the house, he might have to buy some ingredients at the last minute. But now that the end of the year was approaching, the house had already prepared enough New Year's goods, so there was no shortage of ingredients.
"Brother Mulati, where are Diba and Doctor Ding?"
Hauna took a puff from his cigarette and asked with a smile after he removed the smoke.
"They are busy in the kitchen."
Suddenly, Mr. Di remembered that the cunning boy was cooking in the kitchen. When Hauna mentioned him, it seemed that he had already known that Hauna had come to his house. Mr. Di could not help but be shocked. Could it be that the boy did not lie?
"Hehe, Brother Mulati, this new son-in-law is cooking on his first visit. It seems like his good days with Diba are coming soon."
Erkel said with a smile.
Di Ba's father's smile stiffened. He waved his hand and said, "He and Diba have just become friends. It's still too early to talk about marriage."
"You, you, it's not that I want to criticize you, but Brother Mulati, where can you find a son-in-law like this? Hurry up and settle down. Otherwise, if he runs away, it will be too late for regrets."
Hauna glanced at the closed door of the kitchen and said in a low voice.
"Yes, Doctor Ding is such an outstanding young man. It will be a pity if we miss him."
Erkel also echoed on the side. Their wives also nodded repeatedly.
Di Ba's father felt very uncomfortable. What do they mean? How is that cunning boy outstanding? Besides, is my Diba not outstanding?
He did not want to dwell on this topic, so he laughed it off and continued the previous topic.
"You don't come to the temple for no reason. Why are you here today?"
"Diba did not tell you when he came back? The girl Celine had a car accident this morning … "
Celine's mother remembered that her daughter had almost died. Her eyes turned red, and her voice choked with sobs. Anival's mother patted her back to comfort her.
"Ah? How is Celine now? "
Di Ba's father's heart skipped a beat and he asked with concern.
"She's fine. She was so seriously injured that even the doctors in the People's Hospital gave up on saving her. If your good son-in-law did not come in time to save her, I'm afraid she would be dead now."
Hauna also shook his head repeatedly with fear on his face. His face was full of gratitude.
"Doctor Ding's medical skills are really good. Even Deputy Director Zhang highly admires him and wants to get his advice. If he did not help this time, Celine would have been finished."
Erkel also sighed with emotion.
The two families had always had a good relationship. He also watched Celine grow up. In his heart, Celine was not only his daughter-in-law, but also his daughter.
"Which Deputy Director Zhang? Zhang Tiejun? "
Father Di was completely stunned and asked in disbelief. Different from Hauna and Erkel, he had dealt with Zhang Tiejun before. To put it bluntly, he was the stabilizing force of the People's Hospital and a real medical expert. He was very famous in Wushi, and there were many people who wanted to see him.
"Yes, Deputy Director Zhang Tiejun insisted on treating Doctor Ding to lunch at noon. But Doctor Ding wanted to meet his future father-in-law, so he directly refused him. So he could only arrange it at night."
Hauna said enviously.
"Zhang Tiejun treated him to lunch?"
Father Di opened his mouth wide in shock, and his face was full of disbelief.
When he went to see Zhang Tiejun for treatment, he used many connections to invite him to lunch, but Zhang Tiejun did not give him face at all. That arrogant look left a deep impression on him. He did not expect that the cunning boy could make that old guy take the initiative to treat him.
"Yes, but Doctor Ding did not agree. In the end, Sun Kaiwen from the Pearl Hotel took the right to be the host at night. I planned to treat Doctor Ding to dinner tomorrow to express my gratitude, but Doctor Ding said that he would return to Ninghai tomorrow, which made us feel very ashamed. So, we could only shamelessly come to your house at noon."
Hauna explained a little embarrassedly.
"Doctor Ding is really a miracle doctor. Xilin was so seriously injured, and the doctors gave up on saving her. But after Doctor Ding treated her and did a general examination, all the indicators returned to normal. She would be fine after two or three days of rest. You don't know how wonderful those doctors' expressions were at that time."
Xilin's mother had calmed down now. Thinking of the shocked expressions of those doctors in the People's Hospital after Xilin's examination, she said with joy.
"Humph! A bunch of useless things. If Doctor Ding had not happened to be in Wushi, Xilin would have died. "
Erkel scolded with a face full of lingering fear.
"They are all useless things, especially that Doctor Zhang. It's okay that he has no ability, but he even wanted to stop Doctor Ding from saving my Xilin. If anything happens to Xilin, I will definitely kill this bastard."
Hauna said with hatred, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
"Wait, slow down. My mind is a little confused. What is going on? Tell me in detail. "
Father Di was confused by their words. He hurriedly interrupted them and asked them to tell the story in detail from the beginning.
Haunna told him what had happened in the morning in detail, and Papa Di was dumbfounded. His face was full of shock, and his impression of that cunning boy changed slightly.
He did not expect this son-in-law to have some ability. It seemed that he had really misunderstood him.
It was not that he quarreled with Diba and left in anger. It was that Xilin really had a car accident, and they were in a hurry and did not even have time to take the gift.
"Oh, no. You guys sit down. I will be back soon."
Thinking of the gift, Father Di's face suddenly changed. He stood up and rushed out hurriedly. Hauna and the others looked at each other and did not know what to do.
"Get ready to eat. I did not expect Little Ding to be so good at cooking. Just the smell of the food makes me want to drool … Hey, where is Mulati?"
Mother Di walked out of the kitchen with a smile and greeted everyone. She suddenly found that her husband was not there. She could not help but ask in surprise.
"I don't know. He said he would be back soon."
Hauna and the others answered with a blank face.
"This old thing. Why did he go out when it's time for dinner? I will call him."
Mother Di said unhappily. She took out her phone and called Father Di.
Ring ring ring!
The phone rang. Only then did everyone realize that Father Di did not bring his phone.
"Uncle, Auntie, you are here."
Diba came out of the kitchen with two plates of fragrant dishes and greeted everyone politely.
"Diba, you are getting more and more beautiful."
Xilin's mother praised from the bottom of her heart.
"A girl changes eighteen times when she grows up. The more she changes, the more beautiful she becomes. Diba was already beautiful when he was young, and he became even more beautiful when he grew up. It's a pity that I only have one boy in my family. Otherwise, our families could get married."
Anival's mother looked at Diba's delicate face and clicked her tongue in admiration.
"Auntie, you are too kind."
Diba was a little embarrassed by the praise.
"That won't do. Diba is my girlfriend. Auntie, you are going to steal my love."
Ding Ning poked his head out of the kitchen and joked with a smile.
"Hahaha, Doctor Ding, don't worry. I only have one boy in my family. Even if I have another one, he will not be able to compete with you."
Aikel laughed heartily, and the others followed suit.
Bang, bang, bang!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Mother Di opened the door in surprise. She did not see anyone, but she saw high-end gift boxes in front of her. Father Di's panting voice came from behind. "Come help me. There are too many things for me to carry."
"What are you doing?"
Hauna and Aikel were both strong laborers. They hurried forward to help carry the gifts and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Haha, gifts brought by Xiao Ding. They had already arrived at the door. When they received the call about Xilin's accident, they forgot to take the gifts and left in a hurry. They did not tell us. We don't know who the gifts are, so they were piled up in the yard."
Father Di was embarrassed and did not say anything. Mother Di hurriedly mediated and explained flawlessly.
Everyone understood and was even more grateful to Ding Ning. However, they did not notice that Diba and Ding Ning looked at each other and smiled. They both looked relaxed. It seemed that Ding Ning's hairy son-in-law had passed the test.
After carrying the gifts, they began to eat. Everyone ate as if they were reincarnated hungry ghosts while praising Ding Ning's culinary skills.
The more Mother Di looked at Ding Ning, the more she liked him. She kept putting food in his bowl. Diba was happy, but he complained coquettishly about his mother's favoritism, which made everyone smile ambiguously.
Although Father Di was embarrassed, his attitude was many times better than before. Even the way he addressed Ding Ning changed from boy to Xiao Ding.
He, the only person who opposed Ding Ning, also changed his attitude. The atmosphere was naturally happy and harmonious, which also made Ding Ning relax. He accompanied them to drink.
It had to be said that Uygur men's tolerance for alcohol was really high, especially Hauna and Aikel. Their tolerance for alcohol was directly proportional to their bodies. Ding Ning had no choice but to cheat. Otherwise, he would definitely be drunk.
