Meeting the Parents on New Year's Day (2)
It was still early, so it was not good to just sit there and do nothing. Therefore, Father Su took out Chinese chess and wanted to play a few games with Chen Yang. This was also Father Su's favorite activity. When there were guests at home, he would basically do this. There were not many ways for men to entertain themselves.
When Su Yan saw Father Su take out the chess set, she understood that Chen Yang had a good impression of him. Father Su would not play chess with someone he was not familiar with, so Su Yan smiled and helped the two of them clean up the venue. She also made tea for the two of them and sat beside Father Su to watch quietly. Su Yan did not dare to run to Chen Yang's side just like that. Father Su's upbringing was quite strict. He felt that a girl's performance had to be decent and generous. This was the demeanor that a lady from a noble family should have.
Su Yan did not dare to say anything at the side. After all, Su Yan did not have much interest in chess and could not tell if it was good or bad. She simply watched the show from the side and cheered her boyfriend, Chen Yang, up. Therefore, when Chen Yang raised his head and looked at Su Yan, he would often see Su Yan's cheering lips and encouraging smile.
Chen Yang was no longer as reserved as when he first came in. He behaved more naturally, which made Father Su's evaluation of Chen Yang higher. Father Su was a high-ranking official of the deputy city level. He usually had some official authority, especially when Father Su was in charge of the discipline inspection work. He had a murderous aura. If someone with evil intentions met someone like Father Su, it would be very uncomfortable. Chen Yang's natural behavior made Father Su see Chen Yang's magnanimity.
Mr. Su was not fully focused on the game because he was always distracted and observing Chen Yang. However, Chen Yang was having a hard time. He did not dare to win this game no matter what. It was a matter of humility. Fortunately, he had made great progress in learning the system power of chess these few days, so he could still control the situation.
Father Su's chess skills were not bad to begin with, so it was a little difficult for Chen Yang to let go. However, he still managed to " act " it into a losing scene. On the surface, it looked like he was giving it his all. However, Father Su saw the trick in the next two games because Chen Yang might have made a few obvious mistakes. Logically speaking, Chen Yang would not make such low-level mistakes. Mr. Su acknowledged Chen Yang's chess skills. He felt that Chen Yang should be an expert in chess. These mistakes were obviously given to him. Mr. Su could not help but laugh in his heart. He also ended his probing of chess. However, at least he knew Chen Yang's virtue of humility. It was a good result.
Chen Yang was also extremely smart. He could also tell that Father Su had seen through his concession, so he blushed slightly. However, it seemed that Father Su was not dissatisfied with Su Yan because of this, so Chen Yang was relieved.
In fact, meeting parents was sometimes very awkward, especially when it was a long time. Because it was related to his daughter's future happiness, Father Su wanted to talk to Chen Yang alone, so he brought Chen Yang into the study. Su Yan did not follow.
Chen Yang could only brace himself and follow. However, Su Yan still gave Chen Yang an encouraging look. Father Su did not actually ask much. He only asked about Chen Yang's family situation and did not ask much else.
There were many large characters in Father Su's study room. Chen Yang guessed that Father Su was someone who loved calligraphy. Therefore, Chen Yang took the initiative to chat with Father Su about his calligraphy experience.
As expected, when Father Su heard Chen Yang talking about calligraphy, he immediately became interested. As they chatted, he even wrote a piece of calligraphy for Chen Yang to comment on.
Father Su's handwriting was quite good. The font he used originated from Su Dongpo, the great writer of the Song Dynasty. It had some charm. Could it be that he learned the Su style because they both had the surname Su? Chen Yang felt a chill in his heart.
Chen Yang's theory was quite good. It was a complete set. Therefore, Mr. Su also asked Chen Yang to write a piece of calligraphy on the spot. Therefore, Chen Yang could only make a fool of himself. Fortunately, Chen Yang still had some knowledge. Even if his attainments in calligraphy could not be considered to be his own, it could be considered first-class. It should be known that Chen Yang's attainments in ancient Chinese were infinitely close to the advanced level. Chen Yang felt that he only needed an opportunity to reach the advanced level.
Since Mr. Su liked Su Dongpo's calligraphy very much, Chen Yang used Su Style to write the peerless poem " When will the bright moon appear? Ask the blue sky about the wine ". His Su Style's attainments seemed to be above Mr. Su's, which made Mr. Su secretly amazed. Naturally, he was full of praise for this calligraphy. Therefore, after this calligraphy was written, Chen Yang clearly felt that Mr. Su's enthusiasm for him had increased a little, which made Chen Yang secretly happy.
Su Yan knocked on the door and called the two of them out for lunch. The two of them had been cooped up in the small study for such a long time, so they did not know what had happened. However, when Su Yan saw Chen Yang's "OK" gesture, her face was filled with joy. It seemed that Chen Yang and her father were getting along well, Su Yan thought to herself.
The dishes that Mother Su cooked were indeed delicious. Chen Yang almost swallowed his tongue, which made Mother Su very happy. Moreover, Chen Yang commented on the dishes and described the cooking methods of these dishes perfectly. This made Mother Su feel as if she had met a soulmate and had a good conversation. Therefore, the more Mother Su looked at Chen Yang, the more she felt that Chen Yang was a good person.
In fact, a good chef was eager to be recognized by his peers. From Chen Yang's exaggerated description, Chen Yang should be an expert in cooking. Mrs. Su was especially happy to receive the appreciation of such an "expert".
The four of them happily finished the meal. The housekeeper naturally cleaned up, so under Mrs. Su's suggestion, the four of them came to play mahjong.
Mother Su usually did not have many hobbies. Other than cooking, she only had this little hobby. Chen Yang finally understood why an obedient girl like Su Yan knew how to play mahjong. It turned out that she had trained like this with Mother Su.
Even Mr. Su, who was a big shot, obeyed Mrs. Su's instructions at home, so the four of them began to play. Since they were in their hometown, they had to follow the rules of their hometown.
Mrs. Su felt that her luck was particularly good today. No matter what kind of cards she drew, she could always win. Moreover, whatever she needed, Chen Yang would play whatever he wanted for her. As a result, Mrs. Su had won seven rounds in a row.
Only Su Yan understood what was going on. Su Yan had personally experienced Chen Yang's amazing gambling skills, so it was naturally child's play for Chen Yang to play a little trick to make the old man happy. Although he did not win money, but poker cards instead of chips, Mother Su was also very happy.
Mrs. Su was playing so enthusiastically, so of course, the others weren't having it easy. Mr. Su didn't play a single game today, so he was very depressed.
After obtaining Chen Yang's consent, Su Yan explained to her parents why her mother was especially good at matching cards today. This surprised her parents again. There was actually someone in this world who could control the cards they wanted. Chen Yang had no choice but to perform some fancy shuffling methods on the spot to satisfy their eyes. This was even Su Yan's first time. Chen Yang's performance was like the God of Gamblers in a movie, so Su Yan's family of three kept clapping and cheering.
Mr. Su wasn't unhappy with Chen Yang's miscellaneous studies, but he still told Chen Yang to focus on his studies. It was obvious that Mr. Su was a rather open-minded person. Mrs. Su had already asked Chen Yang, her bosom friend, to teach her gambling skills. She wanted to show off in front of others in the future.
In the afternoon, Chen Yang and Su Yan's family became familiar with each other, so Chen Yang volunteered to cook at Su Yan's house that night. Mother Su also agreed on the grounds that she wanted to practice gambling skills. It could be seen that Mother Su liked Chen Yang very much, so she had to cater to her preferences in order to get past her mother-in-law. From the looks of it, there should be no problem with Su Yan's parents, as long as Chen Yang's performance at night was not too bad.
When Chen Yang came over in the morning, he brought two bags of gifts, but they were placed aside. By this time in the afternoon, these gifts had already been taken into the inner room by Mother Su. This meant that Su Yan's family had accepted Chen Yang's gift. One had to know that Father Su could be said to be a high-ranking official. There were many people who wanted to give their family gifts, but it still depended on whether they were willing to accept them.
Chen Yang used the existing ingredients to make a sumptuous dinner. Chen Yang's cooking skills did not seem to be inferior to Mother Su's at all, so Mother Su was even more relieved after eating Chen Yang's cooking. Su Yan had had a little sinusies since she was young and did not like the smell of oil and smoke, so she could not enter the kitchen at all. Therefore, Mother Su had hoped that she could find a man who knew how to cook in the future. Perhaps you could say that if she did not know how to cook, she could find a nanny or something like that. However, there was no love at all. It was like how Mother Su was willing to cook for Father Su. This was the way Mother Su wanted love.
Mr. Su and Mrs. Su looked at each other, smiled, and nodded, acknowledging Chen Yang. However, in the Su family, all the power was in the hands of his grandfather, Su Guohao. In order to obtain the approval of the Su family, one only needed to obtain the approval of Su Yan's grandfather. If everyone had a long hair, no one in the Su family would dare to disobey. The Su family would go to Beijing during the Spring Festival. They probably could not bring Chen Yang over this year, so Chen Yang might have to wait a while longer.
Chen Yang did not care about this at all. He hoped that he had more time. The more time he had, the longer Chen Yang would have to prepare. He would then be able to learn more things in the Genius Learning System. It would be best if he could obtain the mental cultivation method rewarded by the system mission before meeting Su Yan's grandfather. That way, he would probably be able to deal with any situation without a problem.
