Siheyuan: Jiehu Lou Xiaoe

Chapter 55
Su Ci prepared the most traditional eight kinds of gifts, and went to Lou's family to propose marriage: cigarettes, wine, tea, sugar, cakes, noodles, fish, and meat.

These eight items are all of good quality and high-grade, and they have prepared double portions.

For the tea, I specially chose Biluochun, which Father Lou loves to drink; I bought the most expensive cigarettes and wine in the supply and marketing cooperative; I picked two big carp; two huge pig hind legs; Only the noodles are normal vermicelli.

In addition, I prepared two boxes of high-end supplements for Lou's father and mother, one box of ginseng and one box of Cordyceps sinensis.It took several trips to get all these things ready.

Su Ci packed all the presents, filled two big baskets, tied them to the back seat of the bicycle, and rode to Lou's house.

After seeing such a big battle in Su Ci, everyone in the courtyard realized that a good thing was coming, and they all started talking.

With two boxes of supplements in hand, Su Ci knocked on the door of Lou Xiaoe's house.

It was Lou's mother who opened the door.

"Oh, Xiao Su is here, come, come in quickly." Seeing that it was Su Ci, he hurriedly beckoned him in.

Su Ci said hello and handed the gift box to Mother Lou: "Hi Auntie, let me come and see you and Uncle, isn't Uncle at home?"

When Lou Xiaoe heard the movement, she came out of the room early and kept staring at Su Ci.

Lou's mother took the gift box and greeted him warmly: "Just come, come in and sit down quickly. Your uncle is at home. I'll call him."

"Auntie, there are still some things outside. I'll bring them in. Wait for me." Su Ci casually glanced at Lou Xiao'e, and after saying this to Lou's mother, he turned and walked out.

"Mom, I'll help him." Lou Xiaoe walked towards Su Ci eagerly.

At this time, Lou's father also came out from the study.

After going back and forth several times, the two of them moved the contents of the basket into it.

"You kid, why did you buy so many things? You really have a heart!" Lou's father looked at the pile of things, and then looked at Su Ci, the more satisfied he felt.

"Hello, Uncle, this is as it should be." Su Ci nodded to Father Lou, bent over, and continued: "I also asked the old people in the yard before I knew I had to prepare these things."

Lou's mother felt a little distressed for a moment: "It's really hard for you, child. When your parents are away, you are left alone. I heard that there are no other relatives. It is really hard for you."

"Auntie, it's okay. I'm used to it. I'm doing well now. My parents will be happy for me if they see it." Su Ci comforted Lou's mother instead.

Lou Xiaoe quickly came out to adjust the atmosphere: "Yes, yes, don't talk about unhappy things."

Su Ci said seriously: "I will definitely take good care of Xiao'e in the future and won't make her suffer. Don't worry!"

"With your words, I'm relieved, we believe in you." Father Lou patted Su Ci on the shoulder.

"Okay, okay, you guys have a good chat, I'm going to buy vegetables and cook." Mother Lou was ready to go out after speaking.

"Mom, I'll go with you."

So, Lou Xiao'e and Lou's mother went out arm in arm, leaving two men looking at each other.

Father Lou brought Su Ci to the study.

"Little Su, can you play Go?" Father Lou wanted to see how Su Ci's chess skills were.

Chess shows character.Playing chess is a competition of mind, the chess field is like a battlefield, and the process of playing chess is also a process of fighting wits and courage.

Su Ci thought: It seems that Uncle Lou wants to test himself.

However, he still replied politely: "You know a thing or two."

"That's right, let's play two games." Lou's father was skillfully manipulating the chessboard beside the table.

"Uncle, please be merciful." Seeing Father Lou's posture, Su Ci seemed to have to do his best.

"This Go, although it looks like black and white, but between games, there are actually infinite changes."

"It seems that there is a lot of knowledge in Go, and I will learn it from my uncle."

"The process of Go can not only exercise one's logical thinking, but also cultivate one's sentiment and temper a tough and calm character."

After guessing first, Su Ci takes the black chess, and Lou's father takes the white chess.The two started a fierce "fight"!
"Uncle, I lost." In fact, Su Ci did it on purpose, to please his future father-in-law.

He has mastered many skills in the virtual space, such as sports, puzzles, mechanics, learning and so on.At present, I am exercising the skills of seeing ten lines at a glance and never forgetting.

"Dad, Su Ci, it's time to eat!" Lou Xiao'e knocked on the door of the study, pushed it open, and walked in.

"Okay, Dad, don't make it difficult for him, he has never won you!" Lou Xiao'e shook her dad's arm, coquettishly.

Lou's father "accused" her with a smile on his face: "You child, you started to favoritism before you got married."

"Hey, Uncle, let's go eat!" Su Ci came out to smooth things over.

Lou's mother has been busy all morning, cooking a table of dishes for this future son-in-law, she must be very satisfied.

The family gathered around the table and started happily.

Su Ci thought of himself before time travel, the scene of having dinner with his parents at home, and tears welled up in his eyes, wondering how they are doing now?
"Come on, Xiao Su, you don't have to be polite." Mother Lou picked up a piece of braised pork and was about to put it in Su Ci's bowl.

Su Ci's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly passed the bowl over: "Okay, thank you Auntie!"

"From now on, we will all be a family, so why not be polite, just treat this as our own home." Father Lou said happily to Su Ci.

"Yeah, thank you uncle and aunt!" Su Ci excitedly picked up the wine glass in front of him.

"Uncle and aunt, I respect you, thank you for giving Xiao'e to me!" After speaking, he took a sip of the wine in the glass.

Lou's father and Lou's mother nodded to Su Ci, and slowly passed the wine glass to his mouth.

After finishing his drink, Father Lou said to Su Ci: "In the past two days, your aunt and I will find an auspicious day to settle the matter between you two, and invite some relatives and friends to witness by the way!"

Lou's mother was very happy to agree: "Yes, yes, Xiao Su, you also invite your friends to come and have fun."

Su Ci quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and responded to Lou's father and mother: "Okay, uncle, I have a few comrades who have a good relationship in the army and they just retired, and the neighbors in the courtyard will invite them when they get married. "

"That's fine, when we get engaged, let's just invite some family relatives to come." Mother Lou didn't want Su Ci to be disappointed, this child is rather pitiful.

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Mom, let's make it like this, let's not be too extravagant, everything is still about the wedding."

Su Ci and Lou Xiao'e smiled at each other.

Lou's mother stopped when she saw this: "Okay, it's up to you, let's eat quickly."

After Su Ci finished his meal, he hurriedly rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.
