Chapter 318 (1/2)
Although my parents are not poor in this life, ordinary people are frugal. They will never spend money where they can save the province. To tell you the truth, liuchiyan and luminous are first class and five-star hotels, which make my parents quite uncomfortable.
Liu ChiYan and luminous also excuse that the room fee has been paid and can't be refunded. It's really a waste not to live now, which makes mom and Dad give up the idea of checking out.
When my mother fell asleep in the hotel at night, she was still talking about the hotel's too expensive, but my father was open to it and comforted, ”OK, don't read it, son and daughter-in-law are filial, and you are not willing to enjoy it.”
Mom, ”what to enjoy, what hotel to stay in is not to stay, why not spend this unjust money? No, I still have to tell them that no matter how rich I am, I can't make trouble.”
Mom still doesn't know. Luminous is about to spend 100 million. If she knows, she doesn't know how she will react.
In the evening, the night light also stayed in the hotel. Liu ChiYan went home to find his father and mother to discuss when the parents would meet.
Night light's parents came to Beijing and Liu's father and mother said in advance, so Liu's father and mother simply set the time for tomorrow morning, and Liu's father asked Liu ChiYan to watch the arrangement.
Liu ChiYan thought about it for a while, and asked someone to find a very good teahouse. He contacted luminous by telephone and said that the two families would meet directly in the teahouse tomorrow.
The next day.
Dad wore a stiff suit, shiny shoes, hair combed neatly, and even a little hair gel.
My mother put on the famous brand clothes that Liu ChiYan had bought for him for a long time. It turned out that my mother was not willing to wear them. She also felt that the color was too bright and inappropriate. Today, she also put them on, and she also took some jewelry to dress up a little.
Night light is to feel some Leng Jun can't help but, this kind of father and mother is really rare, ”Mom and Dad, you don't have to do this, just meet, so formal.”
Dad glared at him, ”you know what, heartless.”
Luminous smile, do not speak, with mom and dad to the teahouse.
Yeguang thinks that his parents are too formal, but they don't think so. Yeguang's marriage is a top priority in their eyes. No matter how formal they are, they can't see Liu ChiYan's parents.
Moreover, my parents vaguely know that Liu ChiYan's family is not ordinary, but my parents are ordinary people, so they want to be more formal. At least they should dress appropriately. They can't be looked down upon or humiliated.
This is a little habitual thinking of poor people.
To the teahouse, night light reported the number of liuchiyan's private room. The waiter took night light and his parents to the private room.
Before Liu ChiYan's family arrived, the luminous family sat and waited.
The luminous family came earlier than the luminous family. If parents of both men and women meet, it's not good to let the woman's family wait. Moreover, not to mention the fact that Liu ChiYan's family has not arrived yet, even if they arrive earlier than the luminous family, they will pretend not to come in before they come.
It's not a set of rules, it's not a convention, but it's a subtle way of behavior that we have been influenced by our national culture for thousands of years.
Strictly speaking, this is a kind of courtesy.
It's the same reason that mom and dad of luminous came to Beijing specially to see Liu ChiYan's parents. Can't the parents of the woman go to see the parents of the man? Why must the man's parents go all the way to see the woman's parents? It seems that no one has stipulated that it must be like this, right?
However, most of me do it like this, because it is more in line with the etiquette!
If we put it in western countries, it may not be like this. A word of etiquette is also an obvious cultural difference between the East and the West.
After sitting and waiting for about 20 minutes, the liuchiyan family arrived.
Liu ChiYan comes in with Liu's father and mother pushing the door. Luminous and his father and mother quickly get up to greet him.
Liu ChiYan introduced to his parents, ”Mom and Dad, this is my mom and dad.”
This sounds a bit awkward, but there's nothing wrong with it. Liu's father and mother also feel strange when they listen. Their daughter calls someone else's parents. How can they not blame them.
