Chapter 186 Meeting Each Other's Parents
There are two places in China that produce the most comedians. One is Tianjin, the hometown of folk art; the other is Northeast China, the origin of the duo comedy.
Especially since Mr. Zhao Benshan became famous all over the country with his Northeastern sketches, many people couldn't help but laugh along when they heard the Northeastern accent.
Moreover, Northeastern dialect has a kind of magic. The guest who came to Qi Long's house today was his father's former roommate. The two of them drank some wine and talked about the past.
There were eight people in the dormitory, from all over the country, but because of Lao Qi, everyone in the room started speaking Northeastern dialect.
"At that time, we said that you have this sense of humor, which was all inherited by your son. What a good crosstalk artist! I often listen to his crosstalk!"
Qi's father laughed out loud: "People in the Northeast are all humorous. My son once summarized it in a crosstalk. How do you say why people in the Northeast are humorous?"
He looked at Qi Long.
Usually when dining with elders, Qi Long would not answer. If the elders looked at him, he would just smile. He would not speak unless they called on him.
Now that dad is looking at me, let’s talk.
"Uncle Hai is from Henan Province. Is it cold there in winter?"
"cold!"
"You are cold, but we are freezing. In winter, hot water can turn into ice in an instant. If you wash your hair and don't blow dry it before going out, your head will be covered with ice. If you leave meat outside in the middle of winter, you won't have to worry about dogs taking it away."
Qi Long said with a wicked smile: "Even a dog can't bite it!"
"Hahahahahaha!" The three elders at the table laughed.
There were other burdens here, for example, the release of energy after going to the toilet turned into an ice line, and you had to use a small hammer to knock it.
But after all, we were at the dinner table, and it was inappropriate to talk about such a joke, which was disgusting, so we just talked about something else.
"It's so cold that we can't stay outside for a long time. Basically, we go to neighbors', relatives' and friends' houses and sit on the kang to drink together. Drinking alone is boring, so we just chat together.
How can we have so many topics to talk about? It would be boring if we don't talk about them, so we just do something interesting.
Everyone wants to have fun, so they will support you no matter what you do, and maximize your emotional value. Gradually, they will all love to do fun things, and they will all develop a sense of humor! "
So, people from Northeast China are good at drinking and talking, and they can all speak.
"You see, after the Internet came out, why are there the most anchors from Northeast China? It's because they can all talk, they can chat, they can tell all kinds of stories, some can sing, some can dance, and those who can't sing or dance can still make you laugh with their mouths!"
In Northeast China, social phobia is not social phobia. It has a different explanation, which is called fear if you don’t socialize. Therefore, people in Northeast China can often get along with others quickly.
"It could be a relationship, or it could be physical. Just say "what are you looking at?" and "what are you looking at?" and they can start a fight!"
A crosstalk performer needs to know as much as possible so that he can have something to say on stage. Qi Long naturally has quite a few jokes about his hometown, which he throws out at this time to the delight of both the host and the guests.
Lao Qi said that the most hospitable way for his family to entertain guests is to let his son sit at the table. If your stomach doesn’t hurt from laughing today, it’s our fault for not entertaining you well enough!
But today, Old Qi really had to apologize for not hosting them well, because Qi Long had said while cooking that he was coming back with the intention of taking the two elders to see Zhang Wanyi's performance and have a meal together.
Why would I spend the evening with my old classmates? Of course, meeting my future daughter-in-law is more important!
Old classmate? He is here on a business trip and busy with work. I will accompany him again tomorrow!
Zhang Wanyi is also from Northeast China. When they first met, both sides were a little reserved. Qi Long's parents politely praised each other for their excellent performance on stage.
Zhang Wanyi said that Qi Long's parents looked young.
As soon as this topic came up, Qi Long's mother had something to say: "Do you know why you look young? My daughter, I tell you, you will be young if you don't look after children!"
"Ah?" Qi Long, who was originally preparing to find an opportunity to ease the situation, was immediately stunned.
"You don't know, when Qi Long was a kid, he didn't learn crosstalk for two years. He filled our soy sauce bottle with cola, and poured the original soy sauce into the cola that his classmates wanted to drink. I was called to school every few days to be scolded by the teacher. Those years accelerated my aging."
"Hahahahahaha!" Zhang Wanyi had never laughed much, but she immediately laughed when she heard about Qi Long's childhood.
After laughing for a while, I realized that I was laughing too wildly, so I quickly covered my mouth.
When she first started dating Qi Long, she covered her mouth when she laughed in order to maintain her ladylike image, but later she let herself go.
"Just by looking at that smile, you can tell at first glance that she is our girl from Northeast China!" Qi's father praised repeatedly.
The common topic for both parties was Qi Long, because Qi Long was the person who connected them. So when it came to the topic of Qi Long, both parties were willing to talk and listen, and they soon started chatting.
In fact, Qi Long was not very brave when he was a child. He was always kind-hearted.
At this point, he retorted: "I just wanted to share delicious food with my good friends. Don't you say every day that cooking can be delicious without soy sauce? I think soy sauce is delicious. I saw that it looks like Coke, so I changed it!"
"Hahahahahaha, do I have to praise you for that?"
Qi Long's mother said, girl, just focus on your youth and don't be in a hurry to have children. Even if you do have one, they will take care of it.
Qi Long didn't want to expose them, he just wanted to take care of his grandson. They were close relatives, and when I was born, they were all in the rising period of their careers.
As a son, I am simply a burden. When I get older and want to take care of the children, who knows how much they will spoil me by then.
Seeing that Zhang Wanyi was interested in Qi Long's childhood embarrassment, the two elders did not consider their son's feelings at all and started to reveal things, such as when he was a child, he said he was Nezha, took off the toilet lid and hung it on his body as a Qiankun Circle, and held a rag as a Hun Tian Ling.
Qi Long still had some impression of some things, but had no impression of some things at all. He reasonably suspected that his parents were making up jokes.
Until he found evidence that his parents had pinned Gao Dongqiang's childhood embarrassment on Qi Long.
Okay, just be happy.
The two sides became more and more familiar with each other as they talked, and Qi Long had no time to get a word in. He hurried out of the private room and gave the bracelet on his mother's hand to Zhang Wanyi.
Qi Long's father urged him to go meet his father-in-law as soon as possible. He said, "You can't not go to meet your parents when they come to meet you. That's not right."
Qi Long nodded and said yes, and agreed to go to their house with Zhang Wanyi the next day.
He is recording variety shows quite frequently now, and he took advantage of the time when "Challenge" had a new group of guests to challenge, "Men Gang" ended, and "Run" had two consecutive episodes to finalize this major life event.
After hearing this, Qi Long's parents felt relieved. The next day, when Qi Long woke up, his parents had returned from the morning market and bought a lot of fresh ingredients.
There was even a crocodile for him to take to his future father-in-law's house.
The future mother-in-law is very enthusiastic, but the father-in-law has an average attitude. I understand that the flowers that I have worked so hard to grow are taken away by just someone. Even if this person has a very good reputation across the country, it will still not be pleasant.
But Qi Long followed the strategy Zhang Wanyi told him, brought good wine and drank with his father-in-law at the dinner table, and they became close friends.
Zhang Wanyi said that her father loved to drink, but her mother was strict, so her mother definitely couldn't stop her future son-in-law from coming to drink.
Catering to their interests is indeed effective.
This is the technique for both parties to meet their parents. You must stand on your partner's side and give advice.
That night, my father-in-law arranged for Qi Long to go to the Northeast Bathhouse to have a bath. He felt even more satisfied after soaking in the pool.
When leaving, she held Qi Long's hand and said, "I'm leaving my child to you. I feel relieved when I leave him to you!"
With the major events of his life basically settled, Qi Long went from the Northeast to Henan Province to attend the next stop of the Deyun tour.
As soon as he met Dong Qiang in Henan Province, the other party hurriedly asked him about the situation of meeting each other's parents. As a good brother, he was also very concerned about Qi Long's lifelong event.
"My parents would never embarrass her, but they told her a lot of embarrassing stories about me when I was a kid."
"What are they?" Dong Qiang asked subconsciously.
Qi Long was speechless: "Can you please stop being a supporting role at this time? How can I reveal my own embarrassing things? That's the only privacy I have from you!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Indeed, the two people's growth trajectories are almost the same, except that they did not understand each other for a period of time before they met.
"You know what's the most annoying thing? My parents blamed me for a lot of the things you did in order to make their future daughter-in-law happy!" Qi Long complained speechlessly.
Let’s say Dongqiang was a fat boy when he was young and he loved to eat. His family gave him braised chicken legs and asked him to take them to school to eat.
At that time, it was kindergarten preschool. Dongqiang's food was confiscated by the teacher during class. During his nap, he dreamed of chicken legs. He hugged the child in the next bed and bit the child's arm, which woke the child up in pain.
Qi Long's parents made an artistic change and the protagonist changed from Dong Qiang to Qi Long, and what was bitten was not an arm but a person's foot.
Gao Dongqiang was so happy after hearing this: "It's the same. You are my biological son and I am my godson. It's reasonable to apply the godson's affairs to my biological son!"
"That's not reasonable at all. When your dad meets your girlfriend, I'll tell my godfather to pin my embarrassment on you."
"Hahaha, where are you meeting your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
"It's fine. At first, my uncle wasn't very enthusiastic towards me and his smile was quite forced, but he got better after drinking some wine." As for the matter of capital, there was no need to tell anyone, even to his good brother Dongqiang.
After chatting for a while, the two started to compete with each other because Qi Long came up with a new joke.
That was when he was on the high-speed train returning home after becoming an undercover agent. The big data of the magical software pushed a crosstalk about agents to him, called "Agent Academy". It was a crosstalk by Meng and Zhou from another world. "Uncle Master will use it for you first!"
Qi Long took some time to write a rough outline on the way, preparing to review the work with Dong Qiang.
It’s not that we’re going to perform this tomorrow, the program has been decided long in advance, but we’ve got to prepare it so that when the tour reaches the next stop, we can perform it!
