Chapter 382 Quite Harmonious
After dealing with Xu Damao, He Yuzhu naturally would not tell the truth.

Now I'm not afraid of anyone doing bad things.

He is about to meet his parents, and with all the guys in the hospital, no one would dare to do anything bad in front of a deputy director.

The real problem with this kind of thing is that something unexpected might happen. If something fails to happen after it's said, He Yuzhu's reputation will be ruined.

Although He Yuzhu has chosen Liu Ting, life is unpredictable and nothing can be certain.

He Yuzhu was so shocked when he went out today.

Just like what Yan Bugui said, He Yuzhu looks like a cadre.

This is also He Yuzhu's fault for being too low-key. He only wears two sets of work clothes, which he washes and changes. Although they are clean, he doesn't have the air of an official.

Apart from anything else, it is estimated that from tomorrow onwards, the neighbors in the courtyard and the residents in the alley will have a different attitude towards He Yuzhu.

This thing made He Yuzhu laugh and cry.

For example, in the case of Liu Ting's stepfather, it is not yet at the level where someone has to stand guard in the community where he lives.

However, because they entered the city early, their place was similar to Wang Furong's, with a separate small courtyard.

The difference is that the people living in that area are all similar public servants, and the atmosphere is a little more serious.

Although there was no one on guard, there was a sentry box at the entrance and exit of the alley.

Even during the Chinese New Year, there are still militiamen on duty.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu was wearing this outfit, otherwise he might have been called over for questioning.

For people living here, the guard post is not to protect the hutong vagrants, as described in later movies and TV dramas. In fact, in reality, the divisions between different classes are very clear.

Children from working-class families seldom hang around the gate of the compound. A little bastard appeared in the old city and was praised for so many years, but in fact he was just a rebellious bad kid.

When He Yuzhu arrived at the sentry box, he stopped the car, not to check, but because Liu Ting was waiting for him there.

He Yuzhu looked at the girl's red face due to the cold, and asked, "How long have you been waiting?"

Ever since the girl saw He Yuzhu, there has been a gleam of light in her eyes.

She must have dressed up specially today. At least she changed her cotton jacket into a Lenin suit. Standing together with He Yuzhu, they looked like a perfect match.

Liu Ting stamped her feet lightly, but said stubbornly: "I just came here too. I was afraid you didn't recognize me, so I waited for you at the intersection."

He Yuzhu pushed the cart closer, ignoring the inquiring looks of the militiamen in the sentry box, but leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered something, causing the girl to roll her eyes.

In fact, the higher the level of the living area, the more intimacy there is between men and women.

For example, when He Yuzhu was talking to Liu Ting, they saw several pairs of young men and women in military uniforms or Zhongshan suits, walking past side by side, with their heads held high, talking and laughing.

But if they were in the alley where He Yuzhu lived, when a couple went out, the man would always walk in front and the woman would follow behind with her head down and small, quick steps.

Of course, if it is an old couple, it will be different. The woman may walk in front, and the man may follow behind with his hands in his sleeves, shrinking his neck and lowering his head.

This is a reflection of family status.

What He Yuzhu just said was that if he went to Liu Ting's house, should he call them mom and dad directly, or call them uncle and aunt.

Saying things like this is asking for trouble.

Liu Ting did not strangle him, which was a very ladylike behavior.

The two of them walked into the alley, shoulder to shoulder.

As the number of pedestrians in the alley decreases.

The sentry at the guard post saw the young couple getting closer and closer.

The white snow on the roofs of the houses on both sides, the gray branches, and the couple were walking further and further away. Their laughter and joy gradually disappeared.

As He Yuzhu walked along, he found that the yard here was not as neat as his own and was a little messy.

In addition to the neat courtyard gate, there are two-story structures and also a separate courtyard like Liu Ting's house.

According to Liu Ting, there are rules for housing here as well.

For example, most young cadres live in one courtyard with several others, but of course some choose to live in tube-shaped buildings.

And her stepfather, because of his seniority, was given a separate yard.

He was unwilling to go to the tube building and get involved. After all, the matter with Liu Ting's mother had caused a lot of gossip.

It's the same everywhere, gossip is the eternal theme in every circle.

Liu Ting opened the door and stood in the yard and started shouting, "Mom." The unique soft voice of the south sounded deep inside the walls of the city.

The person who came out in response to the voice was a beautiful middle-aged woman who looked 70% similar to Liu Ting.

Judging from her appearance, she is definitely a lady.

But the pair of red and swollen hands holding Liu Ting told the world how much this woman must have suffered in the past.

This frostbite is certainly not caused by the cold after arriving in the city. Things like this, once it occurs, will definitely recur next year.

Liu Ting spoke again in the bird language unique to Zhejiang Province. Even though He Yuzhu had met people from all over the world in his previous life, he did not understand.

Seeing He Yuzhu's confused face, Liu Ting chuckled and said in Mandarin: "I'll introduce you to my mother."

He Yuzhu bowed and said, "Hello, Auntie. I am He Yuzhu."

After saying that, he parked the car and took off the gift from the handlebar.

After a few polite words were exchanged, when Liu's mother invited them to come in, a pale, elegant and dignified man with graying temples appeared at the door with a smile on his face.

Liu Ting gently pulled He Yuzhu, but first shouted: "Dad, this is my boyfriend He Yuzhu."

He Yuzhu walked forward quickly, still bowed and said, "Hello uncle, I am He Yuzhu."

This thing, no matter whether the words are original or not, or whether the etiquette is too humble, you just have to follow the rules.

He Yuzhu thought of many possibilities, but unexpectedly, nothing happened.

He Yuzhu even thought about the plot in the later romantic dramas, that is, the girl's parents disagreed, and then He Yuzhu stood up and said in a childish way, "Don't despise the poor young man."

But in reality, we are really polite.

According to Liu Ting's stepfather Mu Tongxing, since the two have recognized each other, they cannot settle the matter for the time being because of the matter of Liu Ting's biological father.

But it is still appropriate to let He Yuzhu come to the house to identify himself.

The other party didn't even ask about He Yuzhu's personal situation. He Yuzhu, holding the teacup, glanced at Liu Ting and winked.

However, Liu Ting shook her head implicitly, and He Yuzhu understood that this was to inquire about his situation in advance.

This is normal. They are marrying off their daughter, so it is normal to do some research on the man's situation.

However, given the Mu family's background, they should not go to Courtyard 95 to investigate. Otherwise, they might have a different impression of He Yuzhu.

This is just like He Yuzhu going directly to the factory’s personnel department to retrieve Wang Wu’s file.

At their level, there is no need for such low-level methods to check a person's information.
