Siheyuan: starting from security

Ran Qiuye's parents want to see him?

Yang Chen didn't have time to think about it, so he agreed:

"Okay, let's go see our parents later."

"I hate it." Ran Qiuye blushed instantly and slapped Yang Chen shyly.

Our father and our mother are not married, how can we call them this?

"Hehe." Seeing Ran Qiuye's shyness, Yang Chen stopped teasing her and thought about what to do next.

He was not mentally prepared for Ran's parents to see him.

Moreover, Yang Chen didn't know the two of them very well like he did the other people in the courtyard. After all, they had never appeared in the TV series.

However, if these two people are returned overseas Chinese, their thinking should be different from that of ordinary Chinese people, so it should not be difficult to get in touch with them.

"Yang Chen, what are you doing? Let's go to my house to meet my parents now, shall we?"

Ran Qiuye saw Yang Chen in a daze and couldn't help but said doubtfully.

"Oh, it's okay. I just wanted to meet your parents for the first time. Let's go there for dinner."

Yang Chen was awakened from his thoughts by Ran Qiuye and responded casually.

But it’s true that no matter how you meet for the first time, you have to greet them well.

"No need, you can just eat at our house. Why waste that money?"

Ran Qiuye shook her head and said, in her opinion, Yang Chen and her parents were the closest people to her, so she still needed to treat them specially.

"Let's go to the state-owned hotel. I can't wrong you when we meet for the first time." Yang Chen thought for a while and said, then he rubbed Ran Qiuye's hair and said with a smile:

"I'll eat at your house next time, and I'll make the arrangements this time."

"Okay, I understand." Seeing that Yang Chen had said this, Ran Qiuye could only agree.

"Good boy, then go back and call your uncle and aunt. We will meet directly at the state-owned hotel later."

Yang Chen kissed Ran Qiuye and said softly.

"Okay." Ran Qiuye was so frightened by Yang Chen's unobtrusive kiss that he quickly looked around and found that no one was paying attention. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.

"Then go quickly, don't keep uncle and aunt waiting."

"Well, I'll go now."

Ran Qiuye nodded and hurried home on his bicycle.

Yang Chen watched her disappear and rode his bike to the state-owned hotel.

Fortunately, unlike later generations, we don't need to buy any gifts for meeting, otherwise we would have to rack our brains to buy gifts for our parents.

It's not that Yang Chen is stingy, but it's really a lot of trouble to buy gifts. It's too troublesome. Now that I don't need to buy them, it feels a lot easier.

Soon, Yang Chen arrived at the state-owned hotel. At this time, the state-owned hotel sounded famous, but in fact it was just that, just a little bigger than the small restaurants of later generations.

This was mainly because he wanted to see Ran's father and mother, otherwise Yang Chen wouldn't come.

After all, it is a very honorable thing to invite people to a restaurant outside now, and the size of the restaurant is not important.

After entering the state-owned hotel, we saw eight square tables inside, with several long stools surrounding each square table, giving it a contemporary look.

At this time, next to the food pick-up window, there was a blackboard with today's supply written on it.

Looking at Yang Chen always feels very familiar, just like many famous private restaurants in later generations. It doesn't matter what you want to eat, you can only eat what the chef cooks.

Nowadays, state-owned restaurants are similar, but this is not to show off their big names, but because state-owned hotels have rations at this time, and the rations in state-owned hotels are not very large every day, so you can eat whatever you have.

But even so, the business here is still very good. After all, Sijiu City is the capital and there are many workers. Many people still like to show off when they have nothing to do.

"Hurry up. Isn't it annoying that you are grinding while ordering food?"

At this moment, a voice sounded from the side, and the voice was full of impatience.

Yang Chen turned around and saw that it was a beautiful waitress. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the man in front of him speak.

"Comrade, right away, I'll just take a look."

This man was about forty years old. When he saw the waiter's tone, he didn't dare to reply. Instead, he said in a panic.

"What's there to see? You've been looking here for three or four minutes. You didn't know what you wanted to eat beforehand?"

When the waitress saw the man surrendering, she still said reluctantly, looking at his bad temper, it was very likely that his aunt was here.

"Sorry, sorry, I'll order scrambled eggs with leeks and egg drop soup."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man quickly ordered a dish, and the waitress left angrily. When she left, she was mumbling and cursing:

"I thought I wanted to order a few dishes. It's embarrassing to be here and wasting half of my time."

Yang Chen watched the whole process and didn't pay too much attention. He silently ordered a few dishes that were available today.

Although he has never encountered this kind of scene, Guo Shuanglong often chats with him all over the world. They have also talked about this topic, so they understand it a little bit.

Nowadays, the waiters in state-owned hotels and even the employees in shopping malls are also workers and are organized. If you are in a good mood, they will give you a good look. If you are in a bad mood, they may scold you and hit you.

Just like just now, the middle-aged man was yelled at because he was just a little slow in ordering food, but it was not bad, and some even hit him directly.

This can be regarded as a characteristic of this era, but it has nothing to do with Yang Chen. He can understand his bad attitude. After all, these people are like this now, but if they really dare to scold him and hit him, then he will definitely not admit his mistakes like others.

.

After all, at the end of the day, you are still a worker. You have to know that eating here costs only a few dollars or tens of dollars.

One meal is more than their monthly salary. Being able to come here to eat proves that the meal cost is not too much for the guests, which also proves that they are better than them. I don’t know how courageous they are to come and look down on these people who come to eat.

.

Thinking of this, Yang Chen thought of those salesmen who worked in luxury stores in his previous life.

The two are exactly the same. With a salary of three to five thousand yuan a month, they actually look down on people who buy tens of thousands of luxury accessories. They also think that they are poor and can only buy the basic version.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I really earn three to five thousand a month working part-time. When I see rich people buying hundreds of thousands or millions of luxury accessories, I feel that I am on the same level as them.

It's amazing, people.

"Hello, your food."

At this moment, a voice sounded. Yang Chen looked up and found that the waitress was coming over with the food.

"Thank you." Yang Chen was a little confused, but he still said politely.

As far as he understood, now the waiter shouts for the food, and then he goes to the food delivery port to get it. Is there such a service?

After the waitress put the dishes on the table, she still stood there and looked at Yang Chen with burning eyes, as if she was waiting for something more.

Yang Chen was startled by her look. Could it be that she has fallen in love with me? Is such handsomeness so popular in this era? So that even famous state-owned hotel employees can stick up for me?

However, he had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought of something. He breathed a sigh of relief, took out the money from his pocket, took out a fifty-cent card and handed it to her, smiling:

"Thank you, go and do your work."

"Thank you, comrade."

The waitress smiled sweetly, which was completely different from her attitude towards the middle-aged man just now. When she looked at Yang Chen, her eyes seemed to be dripping with water.

I waited a little longer and saw that Yang Chen stopped tipping me, and then I left.

Seeing her leaving, Yang Chen rolled his eyes. He originally didn't believe it when Guo Shuanglong said that waiters in state-owned hotels now require tips, but now he believes it.

He heard from Guo Shuanglong before that some waiters in state-owned hotels now like to ask for tips.

Because foreigners have come to eat here, some have lived in foreign countries, or some people like foreign culture, learn from foreigners and tip them.

This also causes these waiters to like to take the initiative to help pass the dishes when they see people placing dishes, and when they see well-dressed and fashionable people, and then wait to be rewarded.

Originally, according to Yang Chen's idea, the idea of ​​tipping was either in bars of later generations or in foreign countries. At the very least, everyone had to have spare money. To do this again, it was too advanced at this time.

But after thinking about it, he still gave it. This was not because he was being generous.

But now the waiters are all very ambitious and vengeful. For them, serving you food is a huge honor for you. If you don't give a tip, there's no guarantee that they won't do mischief.

As the chief of the security department, Yang Chen is naturally not afraid of them, but that is also an external matter, but when eating here, no matter who you are, you have to give some face to these waiters.

After all, if you don't leave a tip and make them angry, they may deliberately go to the kitchen to add phlegm or rat droppings to your food.

This is not an exaggeration, but it is very possible. These waiters are used to being respected by customers, but they have no quality at all. Even if they are good people at the beginning, they will be polluted by the big environment here.

So it’s better to spend a little money and buy the peace of mind that makes excuses.

After waiting for a while, Ran Qiuye arrived with Ran's father and mother.

Yang Chen took a look at it first and saw that Ran's father had a gentle appearance and was about 1.7 meters tall. Although he was short, he looked very scholarly.

As for Ran's mother, Yang Chen was a little surprised. She looked only thirty years old, and her appearance was about 70% similar to Ran Qiuye's. She didn't look like a mother and daughter, but more like a sister. However, what was different from Ran Qiuye was that her figure was

A bit more mature, it can be said to be very awesome.

And this is what surprised him. You must know that today is different from later generations. There are not so many cosmetics now, and many women are young and look as if they are forty or fifty years old.

But Ran's mother was different. She was in her forties, but she looked about the same as her thirties. And if it wasn't for her mature temperament, Yang Chen would have believed her to be in her mid-twenties.

However, Yang Chen thought about it and this is normal. After all, many women in later generations do not wear makeup, and there are many who are in their forties and look like they are in their twenties.

Ran's mother doesn't need to do farm work like those in the countryside, nor does she have to go to a factory. Moreover, she has been abroad, and there are still a lot of facial care products available abroad.

"Hello, uncle and aunt, my name is Yang Chen."

When they arrived, Yang Chen stopped thinking about it. After all, this was his mother-in-law, so he couldn't think too much. He quickly stood up and introduced himself.

As he has grown up, this is the first time for him to meet his girlfriend's parents, no matter in his past life or in this life. Even he was a little nervous for a while.

"Sit down, the young man looks really energetic."

Ran's father looked at Yang Chen and said politely.

Ran's mother, on the other hand, sat down directly without saying a word.

Yang Chen didn't take it seriously either, he just thought that Ran's mother had stayed abroad for a long time and did not have the traditional virtues of Chinese people.

But it doesn't matter. After all, I'm not in a relationship with her, so I don't care whether she has quality or not.

"Uncle and aunt, please order a few more dishes. If you didn't order just now, the waiter would have kicked you away, so I'll just order a few."

Yang Chen said with a smile.

"No, there are six or seven dishes here. It's enough for just the few of us. We don't want to waste any more."

Ran's father quickly said that he was quite satisfied with Yang Chen now, barely worthy of his daughter.

Although he doesn't read much, he is excellent in all aspects of his work. He is also willing to spend money on his daughter and treat her to dinner so generously. I think he will not treat his daughter badly in the future.

"You can order whatever you want to eat. We'll treat you to this meal."

Ran's mother suddenly interjected from the side.

"Auntie, let me invite you. I should have invited you today."

Yang Chen was a little confused by Ran's mother, but he still said with a smile.

"No need, you are our friend Qiuye, so we can treat you."

Ran's mother shook her head and said politely.

Friend? Yang Chen was a little stunned when he heard this. Didn't Ran Qiuye admit it to his parents? There should be a man in front of him, right?

But soon, Yang Chen realized, did Ran's mother disagree?

But after thinking about it, with my condition, it can be said that in this era, I can be regarded as the richest son-in-law among golden turtles. If I don’t like him, who else can?

"I'll just tell you straight." Ran's mother saw the change in Yang Chen's expression and said directly:

"We don't agree on the matter between you and Qiuye. It's not about anything else. I know Qiuye very well. She has liked reading since she was a child. We also want to find someone who has the same hobby as her."

"Mom, what did you say?" Ran Qiuye turned pale and said angrily:

"What I like is Yang Chen. I don't need him to have the same hobbies as me."

"You are just obsessed now. Have you ever thought about it. He has not studied for a few years and has no common language with you. Are you sure you will still love him when you get married? It will be too late for you to regret it by then."

Ran's mother said to Ran Qiuye, hating that iron was not enough, and didn't care about Yang Chen's presence at all.

When Yang Chen heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless. What the hell, they still share the same hobby?

When you fall in love or get married, you need to have common interests. Everyone is independent. You like this and he likes that. It is normal. He will be annoyed by hearing such a request in the future, let alone now.

However, because of Ran Qiuye, he did not get angry and asked with a smile:

"Auntie, do you mean that we can't be together if we don't have common interests? Or are you saying that you look down on my low education, so you won't let me and Qiuye be together?"

"Yang Chen, my mother didn't mean that."

Ran Qiuye was afraid that Yang Chen would be angry, so he quickly explained.

"It's not that I look down on your low education, it's that you don't have a common language. It may not necessarily mean that my daughter doesn't love you, but it may also be that you don't love her. I don't want Qiuye to be hurt."

Ran's mother thought for a while and said, then seeing Ran Qiuye's anxious expression, she added:

"And we only have this one daughter, and we can't bear to have her leave us. If you can get married, and the children you give birth to in the future will bear our surname, then we can agree to stay together with you."

Yang Chen's eyes widened and he looked at Ran's mother in front of him in disbelief.

Originally, according to his idea, he married Ran Qiuye, and then divorced Ran Qiuye and sent Ran Qiuye away. But now Ran's mother actually looked down on him and let him marry into his wife.

This is outrageous.
