Tingyun put his arms around her waist: "Well, I know I am the most handsome in your eyes. But please help me, let me be the most handsome in the eyes of your parents."
Qingyu hooked her arms around his neck, looked up at him and smiled: "Okay, I'll help you match your clothes, is that okay?"
Tingyun nodded: "Well, then I will go back to the dormitory tonight and take pictures of all my clothes for you to see, and you can help me match them."
Rain or shine: "It's been a few days, I don't know what the weather will be like on the 8th. It's not too late to try it the night before!"
Tingyun looked at her with a smile: "You don't know that the weather forecast can be read for fifteen days, right?"
"But since the time is close, the weather forecast is more accurate." Qingyu reassured him: "On Friday night, I will definitely make you look handsome."
The appearance issue is left to Qingyu. The next step is to plan what to talk about with the future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Tingyun is not very keen on chatting with people, but he still knows the skills of talking with people.
In fact, when talking to others, the more important thing is not to speak, but to listen.
Be a good listener and let the other person talk about topics that interest him, highlight moments in his life, and interesting things he has experienced...
Listen carefully and respond when appropriate.
To be on the safe side, he checked the specific method on Zhihu. The results are as follows:
When the other party states a conclusion, you should add facts. When the other party states facts, you should add a conclusion.
And the other party has stated all the facts and conclusions, then you have to express one of your feelings.
Well, I learned it.
Tingyun plans to prepare interview materials according to the preferences of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
He turned on the computer and created a folder on the computer - "Interview materials related to happiness".
Create two more subfolders: "Qingyu's father Su Bai" and "Qingyu's mother Ye Qing".
Click on the "Qingyu Dad Su Bai" folder and create a new blank document.
Then go to the official website of Lancheng Normal University and look for information about Qingyu’s father.
Soon, I found his basic information in the "teaching staff":
Su Bai, born in 1971, is a professor at the School of Liberal Arts, a doctoral and master's tutor in ancient Chinese literature of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and a Qinshan scholar.
Tingyun pasted these information into a blank document and searched for his monographs and papers.
He has authored several monographs such as "Commentary and Notes on Twenty-Four Poems" and "New Explorations of Sound Poetry in the Tang Dynasty", as well as dozens of papers.
I ordered his monograph online and downloaded his paper from China National Knowledge Infrastructure.
Now that you know the information about your future father-in-law, let’s check the information about your future mother-in-law.
Ye Qing, born in 1976, is the principal dancer of the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe.
She has starred in the well-known musicals "Looking to the West" and "Smoke in the Desert", both playing the female lead, and has performed thousands of times at home and abroad.
At the age of forty, he turned into a creative writer.
Tingyun pasted the information of the two musicals into a document and downloaded the two dramas.
After doing these things, he made a voice call to Qingyu: "Qingyu, tell me what your parents' hobbies are."
Qingyu immediately understood his intention and deliberately teased him:
"All information has a price. I have all the information you want to know. The key is what price you are willing to pay?"
Dingyun sat in front of the computer and smiled: "What price do you want?"
Qingyu smiled softly, and the laughter was like a feather fluttering in his heart: "Call me, baby!"
At this moment, several people in the dormitory were there, and he couldn't open his mouth: "I owe you first, and then call after you meet, okay?"
Qingyu is still smiling: "It's okay to owe money, but the interest will be calculated and the interest will be compounded!"
Just go away, don't you just call me baby a few more times?
Tingyun agreed: "Okay, you answer the question first."
Qingyu’s voice is full of joy:
"My dad likes reading, practicing calligraphy, drinking tea, and watching cultural documentaries.
"My mother likes dancing, beauty, cooking, and watching TV shows.
"Also, when we have time, our family likes to travel."
Tingyun recorded this information in his mind and asked again: "What drama does your mother follow?"
Qingyu smiled: "It's the dramas that most people follow, such as fairy tale dramas, costume dramas, workplace dramas, etc."
"Okay, I get it."
Knowing this should be enough to chat.
Qingyu said over there: "Tingyun, don't be nervous."
Tingyun denied: "I'm not nervous."
Qingyu said:
"I mean, you don't have to. It's as if you're going for an interview. My parents are not examiners, and you are not candidates.
"We just meet each other and have a meal together. You can relax a little."
Tingyun replied: "I know. I just want to leave a good impression on your parents."
Qingyu smiled: "It's not the first time you've met them. Where did you have the courage to go back to my house and lie to me last time?"
Tingyun laughed and said nothing.
How can last time be the same as this time?
We lost her last time, and her parents are the only hope to find her back, so they have to be shameless.
This time, everything is ready, except for her parents to confirm it in person. Of course, she must be fully prepared to make them happy and nod willingly.
Qingyu added: "Anyway, don't be too nervous. If you are so nervous, I don't even dare to go to your house."
When Tingyun heard this, the corner of his mouth curled up: "Are you in such a hurry to go to my house?"
Qingyu coquettishly: "I'm not in a hurry!"
Tingyun coaxed her: "You are not anxious, I am anxious, I am anxious to take you home to see your family."
Qingyu snorted softly and said arrogantly: "When the time comes, I won't be as nervous as you!"
This is quite possible.
Qingyu is a social cow. She is not afraid to deal with anyone. She has a sweet mouth and a bright smile.
Everyone who sees her feels at ease and is willing to talk to her more.
She is loved by everyone and flowers bloom when she sees them.
"Okay, no more talking, I'm going to read the information." Tingyun ended the conversation.
Let’s study my father-in-law’s papers first, so that we can catch up when we chat.
There are specialties in the art industry.
Tingyun is very familiar with his major, and he also likes to learn about other subjects.
But literature.
His most recent contact with them was the public Chinese courses in his freshman and graduate school years.
I talked about several well-known writers, selected some familiar works, and gave some easy-to-understand interpretations.
If you use these to chat with university professors, you will definitely be regarded as a primary school student.
Tingyun carefully browsed Qingyu’s father’s papers.
Those that were too professional, involving content such as classical phonology, editions, and collation, he simply skipped.
These are too professional and can't be understood in a few days. Don't make it half-understood, as painting a tiger will not turn out to be a dog.
As for the content about poetry appreciation, the life of the writer, and the background of the times, he studied it carefully.
These are easy to understand and resonate with, making them suitable for chatting.
After studying for an hour, it was already eleven o'clock.
Chapter completed!
