A powerful country in scientific research

He Cheng took Su Ran back to the office. After closing the door, he said to Su Ran who was standing stupidly beside him, "Sit down. Sit down and talk. Don't act like you're being punished."

"Ah."

He Cheng poured her a glass of water, "You just said your mother and brother are here?"

Su Ran hummed, "I came back yesterday. My mom already knows that we are dating, so she asked me to ask you to come to my house for dinner tonight."

He Cheng closed his eyes and breathed slowly. He felt a little nervous.

Su Ran also noticed his nervousness and said with a smile: "It's okay, don't put too much pressure on yourself, it's just a meal, and everything else is fake."

He Cheng glanced at her, his eyes full of resentment.

Su Ran curled her lips in amusement, "You were the one who suggested the idea of ​​dating, and now you're panicking?"

He Cheng sighed, "It just feels a little too fast." Although the relationship was fake, his love for Su Ran was real. Maybe the fake mother-in-law now would become the real mother-in-law in the future.

In order to make this identity real, he has to perform well today!

Su Ran laughed twice, "It's a little fast indeed, but it's something you just have to get used to. You'll get used to it after going a few times."

She suddenly remembered what her mother had told her to do, so she quickly said, "Oh, my mom told you not to take anything. It's not easy for you here. You came to my house to improve your food. If you take anything, that would be putting the cart before the horse."

He Cheng:......

"Isn't this inappropriate? It's your first visit, so you should bring something."

Su Ran curled her lips, "What should I do? I should bring cigarettes and alcohol when I first visit you. Do you have any?"

He Cheng: ...He really doesn't.

He doesn't smoke or drink, so how could he buy these things? It's too late to go to the county town to buy them now.

Su Ran patted He Cheng on the shoulder and consoled him, "If you feel embarrassed, you can make up for it when you return to Hai City. Now that we are at home, it is not necessary to do so."

He Cheng sighed. This was the only way. He hoped that going empty-handed this time would not affect his image in his mother-in-law's heart.

The two stayed in the factory until the end of get off work. When the time came, He Cheng rode his bike and took Su Ran to the Jiangshui Brigade.

He Cheng didn't want to keep his future mother-in-law waiting too long, so he pedaled the bike much faster than usual.

--

Jiang family.

Jiang Hongmei and Grandma Jiang were busy cooking in the kitchen. Since He Cheng was here today, both of them tried their best to make their own specialties.

Su Lei and Grandpa Jiang's grandson were listening to the radio in the house, occasionally talking to each other.

After a while, Su Ran and He Cheng arrived and entered the house one after another.

At this time, Su Lei had already brought the dishes prepared by his mother and grandmother to the table. Su Ran saw the table full of sumptuous food and swallowed silently.

Grandpa Jiang heard the sound and came out to see that it was his niece and Xiao He. He smiled and said, "Come on, Xiao He, Ran Ran, you two go to the house and rest for a while. Xiao Lei, pour a glass of water for your sister and brother He Cheng. I'll go call your grandma and the others."

He Cheng smiled obediently, "Okay, Grandpa."

Su Ran brought He Cheng into the house and introduced him to Su Lei: "Xiao Lei, this is my boyfriend, your future brother-in-law, He Cheng. He Cheng, this is my younger brother, Su Lei."

He Cheng: "Hello, Xiaolei."

Su Lei nodded and said obediently, "Brother He Cheng." After that, Su Lei went to pour water obediently.

When he came back after pouring the water, Jiang Hongmei and Grandma Jiang were also called in by Grandpa Jiang. Jiang Hongmei put the dishes on the dining table, and then went to the inner room with Grandma Jiang.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw He Cheng and Su Ran drinking water. The handsome man and beautiful woman looked very well matched standing together.

Su Ran saw her mother and grandmother coming over and quickly introduced them to He Cheng. He Cheng greeted them one by one.

Jiang Hongmei looked at He Cheng with a smile, "Xiao He is really tall and good-looking. You must be Ranran's classmate, right?"

He Cheng nodded embarrassedly, "Yes, Auntie."

Jiang Hongmei: "Okay, okay, you are an educated youth in Qinghe Brigade now?"

He Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, Auntie, I came here as soon as I graduated."

Grandma Jiang smiled and interrupted, "Come on, the food is ready, let's go eat. Let's talk while we eat, the food won't taste good if it gets cold."

Jiang Hongmei: "Yes, let's talk while we eat."

Su Ran and Su Lei nodded in agreement.

The brother and sister thought in tacit understanding that spare ribs would not taste good if they got cold, so they should eat first!

The family sat down at the dining table. He Cheng sat next to Su Ran, and on his other side was Su Lei.

Jiang Hongmei picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for He Cheng and said with a smile, "Eat more, Xiao He. This is your grandma's specialty. It's delicious."

He Cheng said "eh", smiled and said: "It looks delicious."

Seeing He Cheng eating with gusto, Jiang Hongmei smiled with satisfaction, "Eat more, Xiao He. I heard that you opened an oil press factory in Qinghe Brigade. It must be very hard for you."

He Cheng swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "It's okay. I'm used to it. It's not too tiring. Su Ran is more tired. She has to take care of the cornfield and the pigs."

Jiang Hongmei heard from Grandma Jiang yesterday about Su Ran's work in Qinghe Brigade, so she naturally knew that her daughter was working hard. Now she was very happy to hear He Cheng's words of love for her daughter. She had always hoped that her daughter could find a husband who would love her. Now it seems that Xiao He is a really good kid. Not to mention the conditions, this person is very good, knowing how to love and care for others. After eating for a while, he kept picking up food for his daughter.

Behavior can be faked, but eyes can't lie. From the moment they sat down until now, Xiao He has been stealing glances at his daughter, especially when the two of them looked at each other, the sparks flew and Jiang Hongmei couldn't bear to even look at it.

Jiang Hongmei thought so in her heart, but she said, "Xiao He, don't pick up food for Ranran, she can reach it by herself, just eat your own food, eat more."

He Cheng smiled and said, "It's okay, Auntie."

Su Ran was listening nearby, secretly happy in her heart, but at the same time she felt that this "boyfriend" was too shameless, being so intimate in front of his mother, grandmother, and grandfather!! She felt embarrassed, thinking this, she secretly glared at He Cheng.

Seeing her angry look, He Cheng couldn't help but smile like a little child.

Grandma Jiang picked up some pakchoy for He Cheng, "Xiao He, try this. This is the seeds that Ran Ran made. It's delicious, much better than the ones sold in the market."

Grandpa Jiang echoed from the side.

He Cheng took a bite and was amazed. "It tastes really good. Is this grown at home?"

Grandma Jiang said proudly, "Yes, Ranran gave me the seeds."

He Cheng gave Su Ran a thumbs up, "That's amazing."

Su Ran waved her hand modestly, "Keep a low profile." Then, Su Ran suddenly thought of something, "Mom, when you leave tomorrow, take more vegetables. The vegetables in the city are not as delicious as the ones here."

Jiang Hongmei smiled and said, "Okay, yours is really good, but it's a pity that there is no land in the city. If there was land, I could grow some."

Su Ran rolled her eyes, thinking that her mother’s idea was good.

She also likes houses with yards. When she can buy and sell houses, she must buy a big house with a yard in Hai City!

Grandpa Jiang looked at He Cheng and said with a smile: "Xiao He, your oil mill is doing well. We in the team are very envious of Qinghe Brigade for having an educated youth like you."

He Cheng smiled embarrassedly, and then started chatting with Grandpa Jiang about the oil press factory. The two of them got along very well.

The family was eating happily and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After dinner, Su Ran and He Cheng helped to clean up the dishes, while Jiang Hongmei watched from the side, feeling that her daughter had really grown up. She knew that her daughter had gone through a lot in the past year, but now she felt comforted to see that she had a good boyfriend. She was afraid that Su Jianguo's incident would leave a shadow on her daughter, but now it seems that there should be no problem.

She can rest assured.
