As the saying goes, an ugly daughter-in-law must eventually meet her in-laws. Just when O was going back to Taiwan for the second time, my parents and all the other family members who were in Taiwan also happened to be back. Since everyone was in Taipei anyway, we decided to meet at a restaurant and introduce her to the whole family.
We made an appointment during the period. I have been here for ten years and have never stepped into it. The restaurant is certified by Michelin every year as a super old restaurant just because I can see their open and messy back kitchen at the bottom of the alley. So I have always felt very cold and never had the courage to try it. Since there are so many people gathering for dinner this time, I will make an appointment to try it!
I told her about this and asked if I would like to bring some souvenirs from Okinawa back to my parents.
She asked me what I wanted to buy, and I said just buy whatever special products you think you can buy! Having lived there for so long, it shouldn\u2019t be difficult to know what the average tourist would buy!
Elderly people are not all like that. You don\u2019t have to think too hard. Any little thing is fine. As long as you give it to them thoughtfully, they will be happy!
As a result, she kept complaining to me that she didn\u2019t know what to buy at all. I said that Okinawa\u2019s specialty brown sugar would be enough. Then I wanted to buy something else. I passed by a souvenir shop and just picked up some. How difficult is it!
After she came back, she opened her suitcase, took out a small bag of things, and said why are your parents so troublesome and why do you need any souvenirs? Those things take up a lot of space in my luggage!
I said that my parents didn't know about this at all. They didn't even know that we were married, and they didn't know that you were going to have dinner together. I asked you to bring those souvenirs for them. How troubled was it!
Moreover, the paper bag given to me was really only a small bag no larger than A4, and it was half empty. The contents were only a pack of Okinawa brown sugar and some coffee ear-loop bags sold by your company.
After reading it, I just felt that it was just a joke, and there was no heart at all! And how much space in your suitcase will those ultra-small amounts of stuff take up?
Because we made an appointment directly to the restaurant, and the whole family was already seated when we arrived. I took her to the table, but everyone thought I was just bringing a girlfriend to dinner.
After I was seated, I opened my left hand with the wedding ring on it, showed it to the two elders, and told me that I was married and that I should stop reading all kinds of things to me all day long.
The two elders, Chen Banxian and his wife, weren't surprised at all. They just smiled and congratulated them, handed them a gift, and gave a very simple introduction to O-zi, since my family has always been this low-key.
Although my son suddenly got married, even though he was shocked inside, he didn't show much curiosity on the outside! Anyway, I have been rebellious since I was a child, and they have long been accustomed to it, so they won't find it too strange if I suddenly do something!
My family is usually very easy-going, and they don't get too reserved just because a stranger suddenly shows up. We would just talk and laugh casually during the meal.
Don\u2019t ask me which restaurant it is, because I still felt terrible after eating it. I can only say that everyone has their own preferences! Although it is also Michelin certified for many years!
After meeting the parents-in-law, it\u2019s time to meet the son-in-law next time!
I asked her to make an appointment with my parents-in-law for a meal at the halal beef that everyone loved, because the two elders had already been taken to her shop to enjoy afternoon tea.
Of course I made a reservation that day, and after I was done with the customers, I walked over to order in advance. I believe everyone who knows me knows how I order! Of course, I just order whatever is delicious, and as long as the store recommends it, I will order it. After all, I like this restaurant very much and have been eating there for many years.
After meeting my parents-in-law, we were relatively unfamiliar with them at first. After eating a few dishes, my father-in-law spoke first and said that he was shocked when he first saw the household registration book that had been renewed. I thought for a moment that this name was so similar to his daughter\u2019s name!
After the chatter started during the dinner, everyone was chatting nonsense with their familiar Shanghai style personalities, except for my mother-in-law who was a little slower to get to know each other.
But my white-eyed wife told her parents that now people have seen it too! I didn\u2019t notify you first when I got married. If I get divorced someday, I probably won\u2019t need any special notice! Really, I can only say that I am so invincible that I am blind to hell!
During this period, my father-in-law wanted to keep my cell phone number, so of course I entered all of it for him, saying that he could call me and ask me if he couldn't find his daughter next time. Of course, I said there was something wrong with that!
Little did I know that just two months after that dinner party, I couldn\u2019t find his daughter! \ud83d\ude43
After the meal, I suggested taking a walk to eat and have a dessert at Yue Niang Sao Dou Hua, which I like next door. My father-in-law and I were walking behind and chatting. I pointed at his daughter walking in front and said to the father-in-law: "If she is If it were a boy, he would have been beaten to death long ago!" My father-in-law was laughing with me over there! But my wife turned around and scolded her not to say bad things about me over there!
When we went to the dessert shop, the father-in-law was really chattering away. He kept grabbing me and chatting fiercely, and he didn't care about his wife and daughter at all. The only thing that came to my mind at that time was "Mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law. The more she looks at her, the more interesting it becomes." But the real mother-in-law was by her side quietly and didn\u2019t interfere much in my chatting with her husband.
It wasn't until O-ko said, "Okay, you two, tell your dad to stop talking so much and finish his dessert. It's time to go home!" I glanced at him and realized he was really engrossed in chatting; there was still more than half of his dessert left in his bowl. Thinking about it now, it's quite funny! Maybe he felt he had finally found a kindred spirit!
On the way home, I said to O, "Your dad must really like me, right?" But he just said he likes chatting all sorts of things!
A few days later, the souvenir incident was mentioned in a chat. She said that she brought a bunch of souvenirs to meet my parents when she came back, so why didn't I give them to her parents when I met them?
I said that when you first returned to Taiwan, I told you that you were going back to your hometown. At that time, I asked your parents what kind of tea they liked. At that time, I already entrusted it to you and gave them each a bag of different tea styles. , those teas that I myself am not willing to open and drink. Although the teas in my collection are not super expensive, they are all private collections and are not so easy to buy outside! Then why do you still say, I didn\u2019t give them a souvenir!
And the last time you came back, you took your parents to a department store for dinner, and you used the gift certificates I gave you to spend the money. This time they ate with me, and it was all paid for by me, so you have to argue with me. what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
