Chapter 77 Bringing Your Partner to Meet Your Parents (Part )
The two of them walked all the way back to the compound, and happened to meet a few aunties from the compound chatting at the gate.

When they saw Liu Zhiye coming back with a beautiful girl and a bunch of gifts in his hands, they all speculated whether Section Chief Liu had brought his girlfriend home.

So, this group of aunts surrounded them all at once.

The third aunt smiled and said, "Chief Liu! Is this your girlfriend?"

Seeing this, Liu Zhiye smiled and said, "Yes, Auntie! This is my girlfriend, Gan Ning."

He quickly introduced Gan Ning, who was already a little nervous, "Xiao Ning! Let me introduce you, this is the third aunt, and this is Mrs. Hua..."

Gan Ning's face flushed as she greeted them one by one, almost becoming a nodding insect.

"Third Auntie! Happy New Year!"

"Sister Hua! You are new..."

"Second Auntie!..."

The people gathered around Gan Ning and praised her, saying, "Oh my! This girl is so pretty!"

"Tsk tsk! She's so pretty! Chief Liu, you're so lucky!"

Then they all started talking about Gan Ning's family background, work, etc., one topic after another.

Liu Zhiye quickly came to her rescue and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, ladies. It's getting late now. Xiao Ning hasn't met my parents yet. Let's stop here for today and talk again another day."

Then he said goodbye to the group of aunts and hurried back to the East Courtyard.

At this time, Liu Zhiye's family had already heard the noise in the yard and came out to greet them.

Liu Zhiye said to his parents, "Dad! Mom! Let me introduce you to my girlfriend, Gan Ning."

Gan Ning's face flushed, and she said nervously, "Uncle! Aunt! Happy New Year to you!"

"This is a gift I specially prepared for you. I hope you like it."

She also prepared high-end liquor and Zhang Yiyuan's jasmine tea for Liu Zhiye's father, and bought a Proya cosmetics set for his mother.

When Liu's father and mother saw Gan Ning, they were stunned by such a fairy-like girl. They thought that their son could be so lucky to marry such a girl.

They were so happy that they couldn't express it in words. They just kept saying "yes" excitedly.

"Okay! Okay! Miss Xiao Ning welcomes you to our home. Come in and talk."

At this time, Liu Zhiye's younger brother Liu Zhitai and younger sister Liu Zhiruo also came forward to meet them.

"Hello, sister-in-law! Welcome to our home."

"Xiao Ning! This is my younger brother Liu Zhitai, and this is my younger sister Liu Zhiruo." Liu Zhiye introduced again.

"Hello! This is a gift for you." Gan Ning replied shyly with a red face. She was happy but a little embarrassed when she heard them call her sister-in-law.

But she quickly adjusted her mentality and smiled sweetly.

The younger brothers and sisters didn't expect that she would be so thoughtful and prepare gifts for them. They were pleasantly surprised and liked their future sister-in-law even more.

Liu Zhiruo liked this fairy-like sister-in-law even more. She held Gan Ning's arm and went into the house.

Liu Zhiye was holding the things, and he and his father Liu Jingzhai fell behind. Liu's father looked satisfied and whispered to him: "You are so lucky, this girl is really good, we think she is very good!"

His younger brother Liu Zhitai also envied his brother for finding such a beautiful sister-in-law. He gave him a thumbs up and said, "Brother! Sister-in-law is so beautiful. There are so many girls in our school, but I don't think any of them can match her beauty."

Liu Jingzhai said from behind: "Your brother already has a girlfriend, and you are already quite old. Isn't it time to think about your own marriage?"

Liu Zhitai was suddenly speechless and didn't know what to say. He could only walk quickly into the house.

In the room.

"Come on, sit on the kang quickly." Liu's mother Deng Ru enthusiastically invited Gan Ning to get on the kang to warm up.

"Southerners are used to beds, while northerners prefer kangs." Sleeping on a kang is indeed a custom in rural northern areas and also a kind of etiquette for entertaining guests. A hot kang is the warmth of home, and sleeping on a kang is to share that warmth.

Gan Ning did not refuse. He took off his shoes, got on the kang, and sat cross-legged according to the seats of honor and inferiority.

Liu Zhiruo pushed the fruit plate in front of her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, have an orange, it's so sweet!" At this moment, she was as warm as the spring sun, making people feel extremely kind. Gan Ning was infected by their enthusiasm and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She smiled and accepted Liu Zhiruo's invitation, picked up the orange and took a bite, and felt that this ordinary orange could sweeten her heart.

When the father and son came in, a special atmosphere filled the living room. Liu Jingzhai and Liu Zhiye also got on the kang leisurely, one sitting next to Gan Ning, as if accompanying her tacitly, and the other sitting opposite her, facing each other, as if sharing some kind of unspoken tacit understanding.

Liu Zhitai could only stand helplessly under the kang and prepare tea for the guests, as if silently expressing his humility and respect.

Father Liu looked at Gan Ning gently, his eyes showing concern. He asked softly, "Miss Xiao Ning, who are the people in your family?"

Gan Ning smiled shyly and replied softly, "Uncle, there are five people in my family, my parents, my brother and my sister-in-law. My brother is also a soldier, and he and my sister-in-law have been..."

Father Liu nodded with a smile on his face, and continued to say to her: "Can you tell me more about the specific situation at home? Don't worry, your aunt and I just want to get to know you and your family's life more deeply."

As the conversation went on, Gan Ning became more and more nervous. At this time, Liu Zhiye noticed her nervousness and quietly held her hand, giving her warm support and encouragement.

Gan Ning felt a warm current surge in her heart, and her tense mood gradually eased.

She was a little late, and organized her words in her mind and said, "Uncle! My father is an engineer in mechanical power, and my mother is a professor of mathematics in the university. I also graduated from university, and later went to the Municipal Youth League Committee..."

When Liu's father and mother heard that this girl's family was full of high-level intellectuals, they immediately felt awe for these future in-laws whom they had never met.

Gan Ning continued, "My parents would like to invite you to visit our home if you have time. They also want to see you very much, and asked me to give their regards to you when you come."

Gan Ning's voice was like the spring rain, warm and touching. Liu's father and mother were delighted after hearing it. They were moved by Gan Ning's filial piety and knowledge.

Liu's mother Deng Ru even held Gan Ning's hand and said kindly: "Xiao Ning, you are such a good girl. Your parents are so lucky!"

Gan Ning lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and gave a shy smile.

Liu Jingzhai said to his son Liu Zhiye, "Xiaoye, look at Miss Xiao Ning. Whether it's her family background or her work, she's good in every aspect, right?"

"You must not let Xiao Ning down in the future, otherwise your mother and I will not agree with you."

Liu Zhiye nodded seriously and said sincerely: "Dad! Don't worry! Xiao Ning is the person I'm looking for. I won't do anything to let her down."

Deng Ru gladly took out a big red envelope and gently placed it in her hand, indicating that it was a gift from the couple.

"Xiao Ning! When you go back, make an appointment with your parents. My husband and I will definitely go visit them and then sit down together to discuss your marriage."

Gan Ning listened to their conversation and was secretly grateful for the Liu family's kindness and understanding.

At noon, the family sat together and had a warm lunch. Gan Ning also participated in it, and the communication with the Liu family became more natural and harmonious.

After dinner, Liu Zhiye took Gan Ning to visit their home. They walked through the living room, bedroom, and kitchen, leaving their laughter and joy in every place.

After chatting at Liu's house for another afternoon, it was getting dark, so Gan Ning and Liu Zhiye wanted to go back to her home.

The Liu family sent them out of the compound together. Deng Ru was reluctant to look at Gan Ning and her eyes were a little red.

After a day of contact, she had decided on this daughter-in-law and was extremely satisfied with her. She wished she could marry Gan Ning right away.

"Xiao Ning! You already know my home address. You should come often when you are free. Auntie will make delicious food for you..."

Gan Ning was instantly moved, shedding tears of happiness, and hugged Deng Ru. She said, "Auntie! I will come back to see you and uncle as soon as I have time."

Liu Jingzhai on the side said: "Alright, alright, you bitch is never going to stop. Zhiye and the others have to go back. Xiaoning's parents are still waiting at home!"

So Gan Ning said goodbye to the Liu family again and returned to her home with Liu Zhiye.

When they got home, Aunt Cui had prepared a table of dishes and was waiting for them to come back. Liu Zhiye was also warmly entertained at Gan Ning's home.

……

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Liu Zhiye and Gan Ning hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's heartbeats.

Gan Ning blushed and said softly: "Brother Zhiye, thank you. I am very happy today. I like your family very much."

Liu Zhiye gently stroked her hair and said softly: "Me too, Xiaoning. I hope we can be together in the future."

They hugged each other affectionately again, the moonlight shone on them, everything seemed so beautiful and peaceful.
