Bro, you are a policeman, not a thug.

It was night.

The family of four went out shopping.

They bought a lot of local specialties and selected four sets of New Year clothes.

Xiao Mu and his father wore red Tang suits, while his mother wore a cheongsam.

Ye Qiuling was different, wearing a winter dress with a horse-faced skirt and a small snow jacket.

When she put it on, everyone's eyes were stunned.

At this time, Ye Qiuling was gorgeous but not vulgar, charming but not coquettish.

Adding a touch of classical and elegant beauty.

It was like a jade person walking out of a painting!

When the children walked hand in hand in front, laughing and playing.

Xiao Guodong and Liu Yunying looked at each other and smiled silently.

What else is not satisfied?

This life is really worth it!

Back home.

Liu Yunying wrapped the local specialties in some gift boxes.

The Xiao family is not rich, but they all know etiquette.

These things are just a token of my heart. It doesn't matter whether the Ye family will appreciate them, but they must be given.

It was night.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law prepared a table full of food, just like the New Year.

Yes, they were celebrating the New Year in advance.

The family laughed and ate and drank.

After the meal, the old couple took out red envelopes and gave each of them a small gold lock.

Put it on the neck of the children personally.

Xiao Mu took Qiu Ge's hand and kowtowed to his parents respectfully.

The next day.

They went to the airport and took a plane.

Back to Beijing!

…

February 3, 2019, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Xiao Mu, sitting in the business room, had a pale face.

Ye Qiuling in his arms was laughing foolishly.

What was Xiao Mu afraid of?

He was going to meet his future father-in-law now!

I heard a joke before.

It was about meeting the parents of my girlfriend.

Wrong approach: honest + down-to-earth + good job + gift.

Correct approach: yellow hair + ghost fire + two bars + arrogance.

For example: Lao Deng, is it safe to put my ghost fire downstairs?

Then he pulled out the flowers in Lao Deng's house and took all the flower pots to him.

Of course, these are all nonsense!

Xiao Mu drove into a place.

A courtyard!

Of course, in today's era, there are actually no courtyards or alleys.

It can still be called a courtyard, and people who know it know what it is.

Can't say!

Even the car of the Security Bureau has to go through a series of security checks.

After entering.

After driving for about twenty minutes, we arrived at a small building.

There is no so-called luxury, but the environment is elegant.

The small building is also ordinary, located in a small courtyard.

After getting off the car.

A beautiful woman who looks like she is in her forties stood in front of the door.

She smiled at the children who got off the car.

When he saw his future mother-in-law, Xiao Mu was thinking.

How did the mother-in-law, who is over fifty years old, maintain her appearance?

"Hello, auntie."

Xiao Mu saluted respectfully and greeted honestly.

No matter how awesome you are now.

As long as you are with Brother Qiu, you are half a mother in front of you.

"Okay."

The woman's face bloomed with a loving smile, and a touch of tenderness was outlined at the corner of her mouth.

And that look was like looking at the future son-in-law.

Ye Qiu came to her mother and held her hand.

"Come in."

The woman smiled and said, holding her daughter's hand and walking into the yard.

Xiao Mu followed behind.

When they walked into the entrance of the small building, a servant had already handed over slippers.

When Xiao Mu saw a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa.

His heart beat wildly.

Although he already knew who he was.

But his heartbeat was still a little faster.

He was wearing a military uniform with a firm face and deep eyes, looking serious and solemn.

He also revealed a military temperament that was intimidating without anger.

At this time, he looked at Xiao Mu with sharp eyes, without any expression.

Ye Qiu and the woman did not speak, but looked at Xiao Mu with a smile.

An unexpected scene appeared.

Xiao Mu didn't say anything, nor did he say hello.

Instead, he stood at attention, raised his hand, and saluted.

The air in the living room suddenly froze.

Facing such Xiao Mu, Ye Xinghua was slightly stunned.

The sharpness in his eyes, like a blade, disappeared, replaced by a smile and satisfaction.

He stood up and returned the salute.

The old man and the young man put down their hands and looked at each other.

"Hello, uncle." Xiao Mu bowed and saluted.

"Sit down!" Ye Xinghua said with a smile.

The mother and daughter on the side laughed dumbly.

Sometimes they really don't understand these men.

Don't understand why they regard certain things as more important than life at certain times?

For example, when they put on military uniforms.

They don't even let their women touch their hands.

This is why Ye Qiuling understood it since childhood.

When a man puts on a military uniform, he cannot be stained with the rouge of a woman.

For example, in front of him, Xiao Mu saluted first and then said hello.

Ye Xinghua's attitude towards Xiao Mu changed instantly.

Oh, men!

The mother and daughter left and prepared lunch.

The two men sat on the sofa and looked at each other.

It was Ye Xinghua who was looking at Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu smiled with sweat on his face.

"Why don't you join the army?"

Ye Xinghua asked in a deep voice with a sharp gaze.

I'm here... Xiao Mu pretended to be confused, "I'm a policeman."

Ye Xinghua twitched his mouth, "Are you sure you want to answer like this?"

"Not sure."

Xiao Mu immediately backed off, and couldn't help but blushing, "But I do like being a policeman."

"Can fighting violence and protecting the people be compared with defending the country?"

Ye Xinghua's face darkened, his eyes were extremely sharp, like a cold knife, piercing Xiao Mu's eyes.

The most straightforward truth.

If the country is gone, what's the point of fighting violence and protecting the people?

"But if even the people are gone, will there still be a country?"

Xiao Mu stood tall and looked directly at his future father-in-law.

Ye Xinghua was stunned and sighed faintly, "Ask you a question."

"What?" Xiao Mu was stunned.

"One day, you were carrying out a confidential mission."

Ye Xinghua's eyes were sharp and deep, "During this process, a group of Dragon Country civilians were in danger. If you go to save them, you will be exposed. It is very likely that your exposure will bring a crisis to the country. What will you do?"

"Save people." Xiao Mu did not hesitate at all.

Ye Xinghua's eyes were calm, "Why?"

"If a country doesn't care about its citizens and doesn't protect them."

Xiao Mu stared at Ye Xinghua, "What's the point of this country?"

"Hahaha..."

Ye Xinghua suddenly laughed, so happy and carefree.

Don't say Xiao Mu was shocked.

Even the mother and daughter who were cooking and heard the laughter were shocked.

"Do you know what the common people used to call us soldiers?"

After laughing enough, Ye Xinghua asked.

"People's soldiers!" Xiao Mu answered honestly.

"Do you smoke?" Ye Xinghua asked again.

"Smoking."

Xiao Mu smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Xinghua picked up a box of cigarettes on the coffee table.

Took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

Xiao Mu took it with both hands...the cigarette was very heavy.

He respectfully lit a cigarette for his future father-in-law.

"When you go to see the old man tomorrow..."

Ye Xinghua reminded, "It's a bit confused, just follow his instructions."

"Yes." Xiao Mu nodded.

"Don't you have anything to ask me?" Ye Xinghua asked with a smile.

"Actually, I do have something."

Xiao Mu looked at his future father-in-law, "Won't your aunt beat you up if you smoke at home?"

"Ahem..." Ye Xinghua was choked by the smoke.

I was originally respecting you as a man... Xiao Mu's mouth twitched.

It turned out that you were all pretending!
