Chapter 375: Feelings cannot be tested
After New Year’s Day.
Su Mingzhe took his research materials and went back to the Su family's old villa.
Nan Lan looked at the information and frowned:
"From the photo, Jiang Bin looks quite energetic. He is 20 years old this year, the same age as your sister. However, his family situation is too poor. Not only is he not from Shanghai, but he also has four older sisters. All of them have rural household registration. This is not a good match. Xiaoqing will definitely suffer after marriage."
Su Mingzhe didn't want to make a promise, but seeing Nanlan's worried tone, he had to comfort her:
"Auntie Lan, with a brother like me here, how can I let my sister suffer any injustice?"
"You don't know your sister's temper. Even if she is wronged, she won't tell you."
Nanlan was very happy that Su Mingzhe came to her house and talked to Su Quanfang specifically about her daughter's affairs.
However, Nanlan was not very satisfied with Su Mingzhe's attitude. If she wanted to choose a son-in-law for her family, she had to examine him carefully.
As a result, after just a few days, Su Mingzhe and Su Qing formed a united front.
"Aunt Lan, Jiang Bin's family conditions are indeed a bit poor, but his family is very motivated. All five children in the family were admitted to university. Although he is the only boy in the family, he has no bad habits and has a good reputation in school."
Su Mingzhe also investigated for a long time this time before he was ready to come and have a good talk with his family.
Su Qing is bombarded with phone calls every day and is almost driving herself crazy.
"Dad, Aunt Lan, this is what I think. Since my sister insists on dating this Jiang Bin, as parents, we should talk to them about it."
"If, I mean if, they have been fighting for a few years, and we finally agree to them being together, if we fight so hard now, it will easily make the two families enemies."
Su Quanfang had not spoken at first, but seeing his son had said so much, he could only frown and say:
"Your Aunt Lan and I don't necessarily want to break them up. It's just that they are still students, and it's not good for their studies to fall in love at this time."
"Leave this matter to me."
Su Mingzhe knew that Su Quanfang and Nanlan must love their daughter and did not want her to marry a "phoenix man".
However, according to information Su Mingzhe recently investigated, his sister and Jiang Bin had actually been secretly dating since their freshman year in college.
I don’t know how far the relationship between Jiang Bin and his sister has progressed.
Anyway, judging from Su Qing's reaction in recent days, the two of them have a good relationship.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. Tell the kid named Jiang that if he dares to bully Xiaoqing, I won't let him off."
"Don't worry, Dad. If he bullies my sister, I won't let him off!"
Su Mingzhe had a meal in the Su family's old villa and went home after dinner.
Every family has a daughter who grows up, and they have to worry about her.
Su Mingzhe has been paying attention to his sister's affairs. After discussing with Su Quanfang and Nanlan, he called Su Qing and asked Jiang Bin to come out for dinner.
The location was not some fancy five-star hotel or Michelin restaurant.
It was a restaurant near their school, and three people were sitting in a private room.
"Jiang Bin, this is my eldest brother."
"Hello, big brother."
"Brother, this is Jiang Bin."
"I called you Binzi."
Su Mingzhe knew the naming custom in Shandong Province. When people of the same generation addressed each other, they would add their ranking and add a "zi" sound at the end.
The pronunciation of "zi" varies according to local customs and accents. In some places, it may be close to the pronunciation of "de".
For example, if Jiang Bin is the eldest and has a younger brother, then he can be called "Dabinzi" or "Dabin's".
The three of them greeted each other and sat down.
Su Mingzhe asked Su Qing to order the food, and then he started chatting with Jiang Bin.
The questions asked were not pointed, they were just to understand the daily situation.
They chatted about family, school, and local customs.
After a while, Jiang Bin was no longer reserved, and the three of them slowly started to talk harmoniously.
Judging from his speech and behavior, Jiang Bin's performance was not much different from Su Mingzhe's investigation results. His speech was energetic, but his behavior was measured.
The most important point is that Jiang Bin has a clear vision. According to the book, this is called "innocent thoughts".
Su Mingzhe was confident that he was not mistaken.
If you don't have this kind of vision when judging people, you have lived two thousand years in vain.
Su Qing was happy to see that her boyfriend and her elder brother were communicating smoothly.
If she cannot find a boyfriend she truly loves during college, after graduation she will only be able to look for her future husband among the second generation of people of equal status.
The problem is that most of the second generation people Su Qing knows are playboys.
Su Qing would definitely not be happy to marry those bastards.
This is the reason why Su Qing started dating Jiang Bin when she was a freshman in college.
I have to say that Su Qing has a good vision.
Jiang Bin was recognized by Su Mingzhe.
Su Qing finally put her worries to rest.
A dinner is over.
Su Mingzhe paid the bill and drove them back to school.
After returning home, Su Mingzhe called his father and told him about the situation. After some consideration, he said that it would be best to ask Su Qing to invite Jiang Bin to come from his hometown two days in advance during the Chinese New Year to meet the family at Su's place. This was not for any other reason, but to show that the Su family valued the relationship between Su Qing and Jiang Bin.
I also hope that through this meeting, Jiang Bin can know the situation of the Su family to prevent him from making mistakes.
Su Quanfang thought about it and agreed.
Su Qing will be twenty-one after the Chinese New Year, and she is indeed old enough to fall in love, and her family can no longer hide her.
Now that you have a lover, you should think of ways to make them live together for a long, long time.
Instead of setting up messy tests like on TV.
In this world, human hearts are the least worthy of testing.
This is just like in "A Chinese Ghost Story", when Nie Xiaoqian seduced passers-by, she said, "As long as the passers-by are not greedy for money and beauty, they will not hurt these passers-by."
The problem is, when faced with a stunning beauty like Nie Xiaoqian, how many men can control themselves?
So, when Su Mingzhe saw that his sister had a boyfriend, he didn't want to test her. Instead, he tried his best to find ways to consolidate their relationship.
Su Quanfang listened to his son and had no objection.
This principle is roughly similar to the management idea of "don't employ people if you doubt them, and don't doubt people if you employ them."
Since Su Qing and Jiang Bin have already started talking, let’s have a good talk.
This is also a statement made by the family to prevent the two from breaking up due to a conflict in the future, which would ruin their reputation.
Just like that, Su Qing and Jiang Bin's relationship was settled.
When Su Qing returned home on the weekend, Nanlan told Su Qing about what happened.
After Su Qing returned to school, he told Jiang Bin that the Su family had invited him to their home for a gathering during the New Year.
When Jiang Bin heard that he was about to meet the parents, he felt a little nervous, but when he remembered that he had already met his eldest brother-in-law, it seemed only natural for him to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law again.
Jiang Bin didn't hesitate much and agreed to rush back on the sixth day after the Chinese New Year to pay New Year's greetings to the elders of the Su family.
Su Qing then nodded with satisfaction.
Time flies.
When Su Mingzhe is not busy with other chores, he basically spends his time researching artificial intelligence in the company.
There was nothing much for him to do at home.
Su Mengmeng has a tutor named Yan Sitian who gives her extra lessons, and her academic performance has always been top notch in school.
Occasionally, the bitch Tian Yulan likes to show off and drags her eldest daughter to participate in various children's singing and dancing competitions.
Su Mengmeng also performed well and took home many certificates, trophies and medals.
Su Tongtong is also good. She studies as well as her sister, but her mind is not as mature as her sister and she needs adult supervision when doing anything.
After Su Mingzhe returned home, he would check on his second daughter's academic performance.
There is no need to say much about the youngest son. He is just over one year old and still speaks two words at a time, but Tian Yulan has already started holding him and reciting the Three Character Classic every day.
This method of educating children was what Tian Yulan learned from outside. It was said that a professor at Shuimu University used this method to educate his own grandson.
As long as his son was fine, Su Mingzhe didn't bother to care about Tian Yulan.
On the other hand, Nan Xiaopeng has excellent academic performance. Now after school, he goes to the Jeet Kune Do gym to learn martial arts.
Seeing that his son was still only able to learn fancy moves after more than a month, Su Mingzhe simply taught his son a set of Tai Chi in private.
The Tai Chi he teaches is serious and can develop real skills of internal strength and true energy.
Nan Xiaopeng was not interested in learning Tai Chi from his father.
In the eyes of children, Tai Chi is "old man's boxing" and only old men and women who dance square dance will learn it.
However, after seeing his father slap the stone lions at the door of his house and send them flying, he became extra serious about learning Tai Chi.
The stone lion at the door of the house, including its base, weighs more than two hundred kilograms.
Su Mingzhe threw such a heavy stone lion into the air, tossing it back and forth like a balloon.
Nan Xiaopeng was stunned.
"Dad, how long will it take me to train like you?"
"When I was your age, I had almost mastered martial arts. You started practicing martial arts late, but if you hadn't been delayed, you would have been almost there by the time you were fifteen."
Su Mingzhe still had several kinds of nourishing herbal soups in his hands, but he didn't want to give them to his son because he was afraid that he would turn his son into a freak.
However, my son is very introverted and if I don't find him something to do, I'm afraid he will be too sensitive and something bad might happen.
Therefore, Su Mingzhe asked someone to get a lot of medicinal herbs and taught Nan Li how to make a nourishing herbal soup for her son.
With the help of these nourishing medicinal soups, Nan Xiaopeng's cultivation speed will be far beyond that of ordinary people.
Zhao Na's ancestors were from a traditional scholarly family, and they had the so-called "literati disease". Seeing her well-behaved grandson practicing martial arts every day, she was somewhat dissatisfied:
"Azhe, you taught Pengpeng how to wield a spear and a stick, aren't you afraid that he will fight with his classmates at school?"
"What kid doesn't fight?"
Su Mingzhe doesn't care whether his son fights with others or not. As long as his son is not the one who makes the mistake, he will support him even if he fights with others every day.
Is a boy who doesn’t fight with others still a boy?
Su Mingzhe was about to promote his own methodology of educating children again, when he suddenly saw Nan Li glaring at him. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and turned to his son who was looking at him with admiration and said:
"Son, we martial artists should convince others with virtue. If we resort to violence, we will lose the gentleman's way. Do you know how to write the word 'wu' in martial arts? What does 'zhi ge wei wu' mean? It means that the purpose of learning martial arts is to 'stop ge' and settle things. So, if you really have a conflict with a kid, you should think about whether there is a good way to solve the problem without taking action before taking action..."
Nan Xiaopeng was completely confused after watching his father's explanation which was completely different from before.
But he didn't notice that his mother had been looking at him unkindly.
