Meet the Qiao family for the first time
"Uncle Li, please open the door." Qiao Qiao said to the snoring old man.
After a few roars, the old man woke up from his dream. When he saw Qiao Qiao, his face immediately lit up with joy. "Qiao Qiao, you're back."
"Yeah, I haven't been back for a long time. Can you open the door for me?" Qiao Qiao pointed at the door.
Only then did Uncle Li realize that there was a car parked behind the gate of the neighborhood.
Uncle Li liked to play cards and take a walk, so he didn't know much about the brands of cars. Therefore, he didn't react much when he saw He Shaochen's luxury car.
However, when he saw the person in the car, he revealed a knowing smile. "Not bad, Little Qiao brought a boyfriend this time? When are you getting married? "
"It's nothing. Uncle Li, don't overthink it." Qiao Qiao felt her scalp tingle under Uncle Li's probing gaze. She gave a hollow laugh and hurried back into the car.
"You're quite popular." After the gate of the residential area opened, He Shaochen drove the car in.
Qiao Qiao smiled and said, "We live in the same neighborhood. We'll be friends the second time."
They were all neighbors, so they would bump into each other whenever they went out. Over time, they became familiar with each other.
"Just park the car next to that small flower bed." Qiao Qiao pointed at the oval-shaped flower bed in front.
"Yes."
After parking the car, the two of them got out.
"Carry these things." He Shaochen handed the lighter gift to Qiao Qiao while he took the heavier one. The two of them walked into a unit.
This neighborhood was built more than ten years ago. It wasn't an elevator apartment that could be seen everywhere now. The specifications were very different from the finished apartments now. Just the stairs up and down were more than half as narrow as the ones now. It would be very difficult for two people to walk side by side.
Qiao Qiao lived on the sixth floor, and there were only three families on the first floor.
Her family was in the middle.
When they reached the door, Qiao Qiao was still a little nervous. She didn't know what her family would think if they saw He Shaochen. What if they didn't like him?
For a moment, Qiao Qiao was extremely conflicted.
He Shaochen saw Qiao Qiao standing at the door for a long time and couldn't help frowning. "Is it here?"
Qiao Qiao turned around and asked uncertainly, "Are you really going in?"
He Shaochen's mouth twitched, and he said unhappily, "Joe Qiao, don't tell me you're regretting it now."
"No …"
He Shaochen ignored her confusion and asked, "This is your house, right?"
"Uh, yeah …"
He Shaochen put the things on the ground and knocked on the door.
On the other side of the door, a joyful voice came from afar. "Coming, coming."
When the door opened, He Shaochen saw a smiling middle-aged woman. He was in a daze and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Was this person Joe Qiao's mother or a housekeeper hired by Joe Qiao's family?
"Eh? You … "Aunt Joe looked at He Shaochen in surprise. Her round eyes sized up He Shaochen's face, thinking that he was some famous celebrity.
"Mom, I'm back." Qiao Qiao tugged at He Shaochen's clothes. This person was so smug at first, why was he stunned now?
He Shaochen came back to his senses and quickly greeted, "Hello, Aunt Qiao. I'm Joe Qiao's boyfriend. My name is He Shaochen. This is a little gift from me, please accept it."
When he said this, Aunt Joe's eyes widened. Joe Qiao looked like she had nothing to live for.
The little sister of the Qiao family said, "Wow! Sis, your boyfriend is so handsome! "
The eldest brother of the Qiao family said, "Little sister, you did well this time. You finally brought your boyfriend back."
"Why are you all crowding around the door? Let him in." Qiao Qiao's eldest brother's wife, Liu Mengying, reminded them. Only then did everyone retreat.
Liu Mengying was very beautiful. Today, when Qiao Qiao came back, she specially dressed up. When she saw He Shaochen, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
After everyone introduced themselves, they walked into the hall.
"Qiao Qiao, you're back."
After everyone finished greeting each other, Father Qiao walked over and greeted them belatedly.
"Yes, I'm back, Dad."
"Hello, Uncle Qiao. I'm He Shaochen." He Shaochen greeted Father Qiao politely. Father Qiao's reaction was the same as Aunt Joe's.
He stood rooted to the ground.
"Old man, why aren't you replying? Look, Little He even brought us gifts. How thoughtful. "Aunt Joe looked at the bags of gifts and smiled so widely that her round eyes narrowed into slits.
When Qiao Qiao heard "Little He," she almost laughed out loud.
Other than Aunt Joe, no one would dare to call He Shaochen that at this time.
He Shaochen's expression became unnatural for a moment. However, with his good upbringing, He Shaochen still smiled gracefully and politely.
Everyone was very curious about Qiao Qiao's "boyfriend." When the family was at the dining table, they couldn't stop looking at He Shaochen, making He Shaochen feel uncomfortable all over.
"Come, Little He. Try Aunt Joe's sweet and sour pork ribs." Aunt Joe enthusiastically picked up food for He Shaochen and stuffed everything delicious into He Shaochen's bowl.
"Auntie, I'll do it myself. You don't have to help me." He Shaochen laughed dryly and refused.
In passing, he kicked Qiao Qiao's foot under the table. This damned woman didn't even know how to help him out of this situation.
This was the first time Qiao Qiao saw He Shaochen so flustered. It was exceptionally rare. She snickered and helped him out of this situation. "Mom, Shaochen will get whatever he wants to eat. You don't have to worry about him."
The moment the words left her mouth, Aunt Joe glared at Qiao Qiao.
"You damned woman. Don't just eat by yourself. Help Little He get some food too. You're already an adult. Don't you know your limits?"
Qiao Qiao choked on Aunt Joe's words. She laughed embarrassedly and dug into her food.
He Shaochen chuckled softly when he saw this.
He suddenly felt that this round-faced Aunt Joe looked exceptionally amiable.
The whole family was happy and harmonious. After dinner, everyone started to look at the gifts He Shaochen brought.
When Qiao Qiao saw the LOPO cosmetics, she cried out in surprise, "Oh my god! LOPO's new products! Is this for me? Brother-in-law? "
He Shaochen found the words' brother-in-law 'extremely pleasing to the ear.
"Xiao Hui, what nonsense are you talking about?" Qiao Qiao asked anxiously as her face turned red.
Qiao Hui giggled as she hugged the LOPO cosmetics and refused to let go. "It's true. Older Brother He is your boyfriend. You guys will get married sooner or later. What's wrong with me calling him brother-in-law in advance?"
He Shaochen's lips curved upwards. This little girl had a bright future ahead of her.
Just as Qiao Qiao was about to say something, He Shaochen stopped her and pulled her behind him. He said to the Qiao family, "This is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you guys like it."
