I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 180 Meet the Father-in-law

Chu Xiao never imagined that Tracy's home was right next to the intersection where they were. He followed Tracy's father James to the gate of the courtyard, and he finally remembered this location. Although it was the second time, he was the first Once I entered the house, I have to say that the professor's family is quite rich.

This is a two-story duplex villa. The interior decoration is dominated by gold, just like a palace. It is very luxurious and can be described as magnificent and resplendent.The interiors are all designed with Roman columns, and against the background wall of glossy marble, it looks extravagant.

It may be because the professor loves the design of the spiral staircase. He designed a particularly poetic water reservoir under the staircase. The gurgling water seems to bring the garden into the home, full of artistic conception.

Chu Xiao was immediately attracted by the interior design after entering the door, and immediately heard Tracy exclaim, "Oh my God, why did your forehead hurt? What happened?"

Tracy rushed over to greet her, only to find that Chu Xiao came back with her father.

"I'm fine, I accidentally bumped into it." Chu Xiao excused his future father-in-law, but he didn't expect the old man to be ungrateful, he said carelessly, "I smashed it!"

"Ah, Dad, why did you hit him?" Tracy immediately asked incomprehensibly.

At this time, an elegant middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen. She looks very similar to Tracy, has similar facial features, and both have a charming and good figure. She is nearly half a century old but still has a charming charm. You don't need to guess. Her identity was changed, but she looked at her husband with a puzzled and questioning face at this time, otherwise it would be more beautiful to smile gracefully.

"Hey." After being looked at by his wife, James explained with some embarrassment, and restored what happened.

"You, you are always frizzy when you do things. There is no one who hits people indiscriminately. Fortunately, there are no injuries, otherwise there will be scars." The middle-aged woman complained to her husband, then looked at Chu Xiao and revealed Very amiable smile, "You are Chu Xiao, we have seen you on TV, come on, come in quickly, don't stand at the door!"

"Auntie, hello!" Chu Xiao politely greeted his future mother-in-law.

"Oh! You brought a gift, what is it?" The mother-in-law approached to receive the gift affectionately, then opened it naturally, and said happily, "It's tea, Chinese tea, we all like it."

"Hey, don't we never drink tea?" Father-in-law James interrupted.

"Ah." Chu Xiao was embarrassed when he heard this.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Go away." Mother-in-law glared at father-in-law again, then smiled and said to Chu Xiao, "Don't listen to his nonsense, although we don't usually have the habit of drinking tea, we can try it, come on , come in quickly!"

Although the mother-in-law resolved the embarrassment very well, when Chu Xiao entered the room, she couldn't help but think, is it really as embarrassing as it is said on the Internet, meeting father-in-law and mother-in-law for the first time?First, he was beaten up by his father-in-law by mistake, and then the gift he prepared was not what he liked.

"I hope everything will go well with dinner later." Chu Xiao couldn't help praying, and walked more cautiously.

Seeing Chu Xiao's uneasy look, Tracy smiled a little, and couldn't help but tell him "good news", "You also saw that Dad only has me as a daughter, so he said before that if anyone wants to talk to me If you are together, you must obtain his consent, otherwise he will take a gun and kill that person. As a result, he knocked you a bottle first, probably because of this misunderstanding. I feel ashamed, I should be able to accept you easily, don't be afraid."

"So, I was beaten right?" Chu Xiao touched his swollen forehead and said, "There is such a good thing as a blessing in disguise."

"Don't take it seriously, this is really a good thing." Tracy said, "In the United States where guns are legal, the father-in-law is indeed a big problem if you want to marry a wife. One of my classmates' father is a boxer. Once she brought her boyfriend home, but her father took her boyfriend to the ring, saying that if he won the fight, he would let his daughter marry him, but before the fight started, the boyfriend peed his pants in fright, her father I will never allow my daughter to be with such a man again, otherwise he will beat him to death."

"Is he really beaten to death?" Chu Xiaoming asked knowingly.

"Of course not, but that man never dared to associate with my classmates again, but this matter is not over yet, her father also printed a picture of himself muscular on a white T-shirt, and let her It says, 'Boys, look clearly, this is my dad!'" Tracy couldn't help laughing when she thought of this, "At that time, my classmates wanted to die."

"Then what happened afterwards?" Chu Xiao was also curious about this matter.

Trish said, "Of course no boy would dare to approach her again, but it also made her the butt of everyone's jokes for a long time. Finally, someone plucked up the courage to propose to her. She agreed without even thinking about it. You know, when they were taking wedding photos, her father kept following behind with a gun in the mirror, his eyes wanted to kill that kid, hahaha..."

Chu Xiao couldn't help but laughed along with him, but he finally knew that meeting his father-in-law in the United States was not an easy task, and his own test was far from beginning. Just have a better attitude.

The dinner was very sumptuous. Although there were only four people eating, a lot of dishes were prepared, such as fried steak, ham, pig's feet, bacon, and a lot of vegetables and fruits. Finally, with cocktails, the table was full.

The father-in-law sat at one end of the table, the mother-in-law sat at the other end of the table, and Chu Xiao and Tracy sat in the middle.

"Auntie, it's so rich, it's great to be able to eat this kind of home-cooked food." Chu Xiao couldn't help admiring out of politeness.

"Hi, Chu Xiao, just call me Judy, we in the United States call me by my first name, it's okay." Mother-in-law Judy still asked, "I don't know how to cook Chinese food, I don't know if you are used to it ?”

"I'm used to it, I'm used to it, Judy, we usually eat custom-made set meals, but we've never had such a rich meal." Chu Xiao learned quickly, and stopped calling his mother-in-law an aunt.

"That's good." Judy said with a smile.

At this time, father-in-law James interjected, "Chu Xiao, can you come and pray?"

"Ah." Chu Xiao didn't realize it for a while, because he never had the habit of praying before meals.

So Tracy quickly smoothed things over and said, "Chu Xiao is Chinese, Dad, you know that they don't have the habit of praying before meals."

James spread his hands and said, "Why, hasn't he done as Romans do? Then he doesn't plan to live in the United States for a long time in the future? If you get married, you will invite friends to dinner, and you will not pray at that time. Is this reasonable? Forget it, I won't make things difficult for Chu Xiao, I'll do it myself."

"No, no, I can pray. I'm learning." In order not to disappoint his father-in-law, Chu Xiao hurriedly asked for prayer.

"OK, then you come." After James finished speaking, he put his hands together and stood in front of his chest, then lowered his head and closed his eyes. Tracy and her mother Judy did the same, waiting for the start.

Chu Xiao also hurriedly put his hands together and closed his eyes. To be honest, he had never prayed before, but he also learned about praying before meals through TV and movies, so he recalled the scenes in the movie in his mind While talking, "Uh... dear God..."

Speaking of which, he quietly opened his eyes and glanced at the crowd, and found that everyone was listening carefully with their eyes closed, so he knew that there was no problem with his opening, so he closed his eyes again and continued, "Thank you, for your kindness to us. So good, you, you are compassionate, gentle, kind, easy-going, you are a very good god..."

Hearing this, James secretly opened his eyes. He thought to himself why this guy prayed aloud, and flattered him so much, he definitely wouldn't pray, but he didn't point out this, and closed his eyes to pretend to be serious after secretly smiling. listen.

Chu Xiao also opened his eyes at this time, and found that there was still nothing wrong with everyone, and finally realized that there was no problem with his prayer, so he closed his eyes again and continued, gradually becoming more confident, and even his voice became much louder, "Dear God, We thank you, sweet Lord."

"..." Judy couldn't help but opened her eyes. She saw the seriousness of this future son-in-law, and she was sure that he was praying seriously, not joking, so she closed them again.

Chu Xiao continued, "We thank you because, because, you gave us such a sumptuous dinner today."

At this time, even Tracy couldn't help opening her eyes, her expression was, "What are you talking about..."

Fortunately, Chu Xiao was finally about to finish speaking, so she quickly closed her eyes.Chu Xiao finally said, "If possible, we pray for three things, that is, wishing our family members good health, smooth work, and good luck in everything, Amen!"

"Amen!" The other three echoed at the same time as if they were relieved.

Then James couldn't help but said, "Chu Xiao, you..."

Seeing this, Zhu Di was immediately interrupted, and she went on to say, "Oh, Chu Xiao, this is so touching, thank you!"

"Um, yes, it's so touching and interesting, thank you, Chu Xiao." James praised along with his wife.

Tracy was trying her best to hold back her smile, she started eating to try to hide her abnormality, but Chu Xiao soon found out, and he couldn't help asking in a low voice, "What's the matter, what have you been laughing about? "

It's okay if you don't ask, but when you ask, Tracy can't help it, "Hahahaha..."

Then James and Judy burst into wild laughter, "Hahahaha..."

"What?" Only Chu Xiao looked at everyone with a confused face, not knowing what went wrong, which made them so happy.

In the end, it was Judy who stopped the laughter first, and she tried her best to hold back her smile and said, "Come on, Chu Xiao, eat first." After speaking, Judy couldn't help it again, and burst out laughing all at once.
