Jiang Fan prepared the most traditional eight gifts. Smoke, wine, tea, sugar, cakes, noodles, fish, and meat.
These eight items were all of good quality and of high grade. Moreover, he had prepared two of them.
The tea leaves were specially chosen from Biluochun, which Lou's father loved to drink. The cigarettes and alcohol were the most expensive in the supply and marketing cooperative. He picked two large carps, two large pig hind legs, and two large fish. Candies and pastries were the most popular in the market. Only the noodles were ordinary.
In addition, he prepared two boxes of high-end tonics for his parents, a box of ginseng and a box of cordycep. It took him a few trips to prepare all these things.
Jiang Fan packed all the gifts into two big baskets, tied them to the back seat of the bicycle, and rode to the Lou family.
When the people in the courtyard saw Jiang Fan's huge formation, they realized that something good was about to happen and began to discuss.
Jiang Fan carried two boxes of supplements and knocked on Lou Xiao'e's door.
The one who opened the door was Mother Lou.
"Aiya, Xiaofan is here. Come, come in quickly.”Seeing that it was Jiang Fan, he hurriedly called him in.
Jiang Fan greeted her as he handed the gift box in his hand to Mother Lou."Hello, Auntie. I'm here to see you and Uncle. Is Uncle not at home?”
Lou Xiao'e heard the commotion and came out of the room early. She kept staring at Jiang Fan.
Lou Cheng's mother took the gift box and greeted him warmly,""It's good that you're here. Come in and sit. Your uncle is at home.”
"Auntie, there's still something outside. I'll go get it. Wait for me.”Jiang Fan inadvertently glanced at Lou Xiao'e. After saying this to Mother Lou, he turned around and walked out.
"Mom, I'll go help him." Lou Xiao'e walked towards Jiang Fan urgently.
At this moment, Lou Cheng's father also came out of the study.
After going back and forth several times, the two of them finally moved the things in the basket into the room.
"Child, why did you buy so many things? You're really thoughtful!”Father Lou looked at the pile of things and then looked at Jiang Fan, feeling more satisfied.
"Hello, Uncle. This is what I should do." Jiang Fan nodded at Father Lou and bowed before continuing,"I only knew that I had to prepare these things after asking the elders in the courtyard.”
Mother Lou's heart ached." It must be hard on you. Your parents aren't around, and you're the only one left. I heard that you don't have any other relatives. It must be hard on you."”
"Auntie, it's okay. I'm already used to it. I'm living very well now. If my parents see this, they'll be happy for me.”Jiang Fan comforted Mother Lou instead.
Lou Xiao'e quickly came out to adjust the atmosphere.""Yes, yes, yes. Let's not talk about unhappy things.”
Jiang Fan said very seriously,"I will take good care of Xiao'e in the future. I won't let her suffer. Don't worry!"”
"I'm relieved to hear that. We believe you.”Father Lou patted Jiang Fan's shoulder.
"Alright, alright, you guys have a good chat. I'll go buy some vegetables and cook.”After saying that, Mother Lou prepared to go out.
"Mom, I'll go with you."
Thus, Lou Xiao'e and her mother walked out hand in hand, leaving the two men looking at each other.
Lou's father brought Jiang Fan to the study.
"Xiaofan, do you know how to play Go?" Lou's father wanted to see how Jiang Fan's chess skills were.
Chess skills showed one's character. Chess was a battle of wits. The chess field was like a battlefield. The process of playing chess was also a battle of wits and courage.
Jiang Fan thought to himself, Looks like Uncle Lou is trying to test me.
However, he still replied politely,""I participated in some chess activities in school, so I know a little about it.”
"That's good. Let's play a few rounds.”Lou Cheng's father was skillfully fiddling with the chessboard at the table.
"Uncle, please show mercy." Jiang Fan saw Lou father's posture, it seemed that he had to do his best.
"Although this Go game looks black and white, there are actually endless changes in the game.”
"It seems like Go is very knowledgeable. I have to learn from uncle.”
"The process of Go can not only train a person's logical thinking, but it can also cultivate one's temperament and temper one's tenacious and calm character.”
After guessing first, Jiang Fan holds black chess, Lou Fu holds white chess. The two of them began an intense battle!
"Uncle, I lost." Actually, Jiang Fan did it on purpose to make his future father-in-law happy.
He had already mastered many skills in the virtual space, such as sports, puzzle, mechanical, learning, and so on. Currently, he was training his ability to read ten lines at a glance and remember everything he saw.
"Dad, Jiang Fan, it's time to eat!" Lou Xiao'e knocked on the door of the study, pushed it open, and walked in.
"Alright, Dad, don't make things difficult for him. How can he win against you?”Lou Xiao'e shook her father's arm and acted coquettishly.
Lou Cheng's father 'criticized' her with a smile."You haven't even married into the family and you're already biased.”
"Hehe, Uncle, let's go eat!”Jiang Fan came out to smooth things over.
Mother Lou had been busy the whole morning, preparing a table full of dishes to entertain this future son-in-law. She must be very satisfied.
The family gathered around the table and started eating happily.
Jiang Fan thought of himself before he transmigrated and the scene of him having dinner with his parents at home. Tears instantly welled up in his eyes. He wondered how they were doing now.
"Come, Xiaofan, take some food and eat.”Lou's mother picked up a piece of braised pork and was about to put it into Jiang Fan's bowl.
Jiang Fan's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly handed the bowl over."Okay, thank you, Auntie!"
"In the future, we're all family. There's no need to be so polite. Just treat this as your own home.”Father Lou said happily to Jiang Fan.
"Yes, yes. Thank you, Uncle and Auntie!" Jiang Fan excitedly raised the wine glass in front of him.
"Uncle, auntie, I'll give you a toast. Thank you for handing Xiao'e over to me!”After saying that, he took a sip of the wine in his glass.
Father and Mother Lou nodded at Jiang Fan and slowly brought the wine glass to their mouths.
After Lou Cheng's father finished drinking, he said to Jiang Fan,"In the next two days, your auntie and I will find an auspicious day to settle the matter between the two of you. At the same time, we will invite some relatives and friends to witness it!”
"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Fan, you should invite your friends to join us."”
Jiang Fan quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and replied to his parents,"Okay, uncle. I have a few good high school classmates who happen to be at home. We'll invite the neighbors when we get married.”
"That's good. When we get engaged, we can invite some relatives.”Lou mother didn't want Jiang Fan to be disappointed, this child was more pitiful.
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said," Mom, let's set it like this. Let's not be too extravagant. Everything is still based on the wedding."”
Jiang Fan and Lou Xiao'e looked at each other and smiled.
Lou's mother stopped when she saw this." Alright, we'll do as you say. Everyone, let's eat quickly."”
After Jiang Fan finished his meal, he hurried back to the courtyard house by bicycle.
