They would call occasionally, but Su's father and mother never asked for video calls because they knew their child's personality. He was introverted and a little awkward, and didn't like to appear in front of the camera.
They were also quite busy and couldn't spare the time to go over and see how their daughters were doing over there, or whether those ship girls were listening to Su Xiao's commands.
In fact, Su's father and mother didn't know much about the profession of commander. They only knew that it was to command the battleship girls, but they didn't know what the specific job was. They could only hear from the phone that their daughter was not doing well.
wrong.
Su's parents are businessmen. They were born in the countryside and had little education. They had experienced a hard time before Su Xin was born. Later, they started some business and their life became better.
Su's father and mother got married early, so Su Xin was born earlier. Now Su's father and mother are only 38 years old and have not yet crossed the middle-aged 40 boundary.
When they have free time, they like to chat, and occasionally bring the topic to Su Xin. When talking about the experience of raising a daughter, both Su's father and mother feel satisfied and regretful.
After all, when Su Xin was a baby, her parents had such a good experience raising her that her mother even began to worry whether there was something wrong with her child.
Other people's children cry all day long, eat, drink, defecate and urinate during the day, and make people restless at night, but my own child doesn't make a sound, only cries when he is hungry and makes a few "yay" sounds when he goes to the toilet. I bought several boxes of diapers, but didn't use many of them.
In order to foster their relationship, Su's parents did not hire a nanny. They were prepared to be exhausted for three or four years after Su Xin was born. However, they found that their child was so well-behaved during infancy that it was inhumane.
It was even more outrageous when she was a child. While other children were still drawing maps in the middle of the night, my daughter was already able to get up by herself, turn on the light and go to the bathroom.
The kids next door were catching grasshoppers and crickets in the grass every day and tying them up for fun, while little Su had already started cleaning the room with a broom that was taller than her.
Moreover, when Su was a child, he was not interested in cartoons. He would tiptoe every day to get the classics on his father's bookshelf. Although they were all books with pictures, they were already very advanced compared to his peers.
Both Su's father and mother are ordinary people, and their cultural literacy is not necessarily very high.
The books on the bookshelf are basically just for show, such as "How the Steel Was Tempered" and "The Old Man and the Sea". Su's father will never read them. They are just put there to create an atmosphere for the children at home.
Unexpectedly, little Su really liked it.
Su Xin has read all the books with pictures, such as Compendium of Materia Medica and Encyclopedia of Plants and Animals.
This made Su's parents very anxious. Children from other families were always acting like spoiled brats and being upset, either clamoring for toys or asking for ice cream, which made their parents very annoyed.
When they arrived home, Su's father and mother could only see the back of the little girl's head. They had rarely seen her cry on weekdays, so how could they expect her to act like a spoiled child?
The neighboring couple always said that they envied Su's parents for having such a well-behaved and sensible child. Su's parents envied the neighbors because they always saw the kid with a runny nose and tugging at his pants next to his neighbor, who was unwilling to leave.
Open children.
But these are just minor issues. After all, everyone has different personalities. They can't demand that their children must be as lively as others'. Besides, wouldn't it be less of a worry if they were more well-behaved and sensible?
As time went by, Su's father and mother gradually got used to their daughter's quiet character and started to be more indifferent. It was heard that she was very popular among other children in the kindergarten, which made Su's father and mother very happy.
One day, the family was eating and watching TV when suddenly an emergency warning about the sea area came in, briefly explaining the movements of the Siren and the preparations of the ship girls, and reminding people near the sea area to live in a safe area for the time being.
A few days.
The Su family was inland, so they didn't worry about this, so Father Su just sighed: "Alas... When will this kind of life end..."
As a result, when he turned around, he saw his daughter staring at the TV with an expression of disbelief. Then he didn't even eat and ran to the study upstairs while hearing the calls from Su's father and mother.
Su's father and mother didn't understand what happened. They only knew that there was no browsing history in the computer in the study. And the next day, the little kid in the family gave them a list with a lot of books written on it.
The little beanie asked expressionlessly, "...I want these...can I?"
Su's father and mother were surprised that their child finally started to make requests, but they were also confused by the names of the books on the paper that they had never heard of.
Su's mother was a little hesitant, after all, this matter came suddenly, but Su's father didn't think it was a big deal and bought it with a wave of his hand.
When they saw their daughter actually reading those books with small print, they were all shocked. Su's mother couldn't help it, so she took Su Xiaodouding to do an intelligence test one day.
But unfortunately, Su Xiaodouding didn't cooperate at all. She didn't answer any questions. She just sat opposite the doctor with her head down and looked stiff. Her nervousness was so obvious that her father and mother couldn't bear it.
Who cares? It’s just that their kid is a little smarter, which is a good thing. So Su’s father and mother decided to let the child do it on his own. They just focused on making delicious food and fattening up the little kid.
As a result, the way the Su family gets along with each other became very casual. Su's father and mother got used to their daughter's independence and opinions, and no longer interfered too much with Su Xin's decisions.
Later, when Su Xin decided to go to the Command Academy for further studies, Su's father and mother did not try to stop her. They were even relieved to let Su Xin live alone in another place.
Because they were used to free-range life and usually saw each other only once every six months, they didn't miss their child that much. But this time they were separated for nearly two years, which made Su's father and mother somewhat worried.
"Well... I don't know if Xinxin will come back this year..." Su's mother lay on the sofa, propped up her slightly round chin, and sighed softly. Seeing that her husband next to her didn't respond, she couldn't help but stretched out her legs and kicked him, "The child's father
, say something."
Father Su touched his buttocks and stared at his phone screen. "Come and see if I am seeing things wrong."
"You're not even 40 yet and you're already dazzled?" Su's mother muttered as she came closer, only to find a new message on the WeChat interface that was sent a minute ago.
[Dad, I don’t have much work to do recently. I plan to come back. Is it convenient for you and mom?]
Su's mother took a quick look and saw the note was "Good daughter". She immediately perked up, "It's been a minute and you still haven't replied? Tell me you have time!"
"Oh oh oh... I didn't expect this..."
After Su's mother confirmed the news, she ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror and said in disbelief, "I'm so fat now?! No, I have to lose weight! Dad! Go and help me wash the vegetables! We'll have boiled vegetables tonight!"
Father Su paused, curled his lips, and started looking for a takeout app.
ps: I saw a thread before that some book friends are interested in Su Su's family, so I arranged a plot to bring someone home during the National Day holiday. As for who to bring... please speak up!
Chapter 299 Going to meet the parents?
The decision to go home during the National Day holiday was not made by Su Xiaozhi on a whim. In fact, she had been considering it for some time.
In the past, Su Xin was well-behaved and sensible, but at the same time, her understanding of emotions was shockingly low. She knew that you were good to her, but she would not show a daughterly attitude of being very close to you just because of this.
If you treat her badly, she won't care about it, get angry or cry or anything like that. She will just silently give you a cross in her heart and stay away from you from then on.
She knew that her father and mother doted on her, so she had always been well-behaved and filial. However, she was not as clingy as other children, and she had no difficulty adapting to living alone.
As her personality gradually became more cheerful and she slowly began to understand various emotions, Su Xiaozhihui belatedly realized that she should be like an ordinary child and interact more with her parents.
But when he was giving the blueprint to Yubari, he met little Zeppelin who couldn't find a home. After raising him for a while, summer work was about to begin again.
When the summer event finally ended and Su Xin returned with the team, Xiao and Spee who came to visit her, as well as the new ship girls who were built, all needed some time to familiarize themselves with the port area where she was.
One thing after another, a summer dragged by
There are still about two months left until the winter event, and it has been a slow season recently. The young commander is not good at socializing and does not know any commander friends other than Fang Yan and Wu Mu.
Therefore, a lot of time is freed up, and going back to my parents' home is really an easy thing.
It was just that she definitely couldn't go home alone, but it was not realistic for everyone to go back together. Not to mention the problem of food and accommodation, just chatting alone could occupy Su's father and Su's time.
Mother spends most of the day.
This does not take into account the situation where there are conflicts between the ship girls. If a fight really breaks out, the Su family will probably be torn apart.
That’s right, I’m talking about Akagi and Shokaku.
So Su Xin thought about it and decided to only bring back a few ship girls who were less likely to cause trouble, so as to avoid scaring Su's father and mother who knew nothing.
After she quietly eliminated several restless older sisters, she decided to leave the remaining candidates to the ship girls themselves.
So on the night when he figured it out, Commander Su coughed a few times to clear his throat before everyone started eating, and then pushed away the handkerchief that Sheffield handed to him, and asked everyone:
"Um... there's something I'd like to ask everyone's opinion on."
So all the big and small ship girls in the port area put down their knives, forks, chopsticks and spoons very politely, and listened attentively. The overly serious atmosphere made the young commander suddenly a little nervous.
"It's... not a big deal..." The little commander lowered the volume silently under the gaze of everyone, "I just want to take a few people back to meet my parents..."
As soon as the words fell, the whole place fell into silence.
Commander Su thought that no one wanted to go, but then he heard a class representative stammering, "...meet the parents?"
As a result, the whole audience was boiling.
Phoenix: "I've been bored in the port for a long time. Commander, you must take me out to play. I've been following you since the beginning! Right, Helena?"
Helena was a little dazed. When her name was called, she only replied, "Huh? Ah...yes."
Phoenix: "Hehe~ But you are not allowed to go to Cleveland!"
Montpellier was upset when she heard this, "How can you say that about my big sister? It's so rude."
"That's because you don't know her. She's obviously a very manly scum who covets my sister—"
Before Phoenix could finish his words, he caught a glimpse of his sister's red face. He was so angry that he pointed at Helena and accused Montpellier: "Look, look!"
Montpellier refused to give in and pulled the confused Cleveland to retort: "Big Sister didn't do anything! Don't put the blame on Big Sister for everything!"
“@%#)*...
The problems on the White Eagle side are relatively small, but the conflicts on the Sakura Empire side are big.
Not to mention Akagi, who was wagging his tail, erecting his fox ears, and looking straight at the White Eagle with his animal eyes, and Shokaku, who kept taking photos of Akagi and the White Eagle ship girls and started to photoshop the photos and add captions.
Just the love of the big dog of Sakura Empire seemed a little excited at this moment.
After all, the current commander is a piece of cake and it is hard to know where to start. But if she can get inside and deal with her father-in-law and mother-in-law first, wouldn't that be half the battle?
So Atago secretly stood up, wanting to get closer to the young commander first and ask for the contact information of her future father-in-law and mother-in-law in a roundabout way.
As soon as he stood up, he was hit right between the eyebrows by a can of familiar insecticide.
"Bang!"
Atago, with a red spot on her forehead, was very angry at Akagi for taking action without saying anything, "Didn't Lord Amagi confiscated all your things?!"
Akagi took out another can and knocked it on the table, calmly saying, "As long as there is money..."
Ming Miao jumped up and said, "Where is the money? Where is the money?!"
Atago understood, and glared at Ming Miao who was greedy for money. She also gave a subtle wink to Shokaku who was taking pictures, requesting the Yin-Yang Master to fight two against one.
Shokaku rejected the message and replaced the photoshopped photo with his own profile picture, which showed Akagi staring at the White Eagle ship girl with a gloomy face, with the caption: "I want to make friends with you too~"
Seeing that asking for help was unsuccessful, Atago had to take action on her own.
So the two of them looked at Tiancheng who was in a daze tacitly, then stood up at the same time and walked towards the door.
Normally, Atago cannot beat Akamai, but she can always create some misunderstandings to create a two-on-one situation, and this time is no exception.
As she passed by Shokaku, she quickly took out a fist-sized pebble from the space, then threw it at Akagi. At the same time, she patted Shokaku's shoulder, who was captioning the next photo, and gave her a big smile.
thumb
Akagi, who was hit by a big bump on the head, turned around and covered her head. She saw Shokaku looking at her, and Atago next to Shokaku who was giving a thumbs up to show her admiration. She immediately got annoyed.
Shokaku, who hadn't even finished matching his characters, was dragged out for no apparent reason, and unknowingly found himself in a two-on-one situation with Atago.
Pinghai from Donghuang rested his hands on the chair and swung his legs. He looked left and right, and after thinking for a long time, he turned to Ninghai and asked, "Sister, can I eat now?"
"You only know how to eat." Ning Hai sighed. Seeing Yixian nod with a smile, she picked up some dishes that Pinghai liked. While Ning Hai was concentrating on eating, she silently served another bowl of soup and put it aside to cool.
The new ship girls were truly eye-opening. For the first time, they intuitively felt the warmth and friendship of the big port family. They didn't dare to raise their hands to speak, for fear that they would be put to the test.
The young commander didn't expect that just asking a question would cause such a big dispute. After thinking it over, she decided to persuade the three people fighting outside to calm down first.
So she left her seat and walked to Tiancheng. Looking at the older sister who was in a daze, she patted her shoulder helplessly, "Sister Tiancheng?"
Tiancheng suddenly came back to his senses and saw that the little commander had come to his side without him knowing when. He was a little curious, "...Huh?"
Su Xin looked out the door with some concern, "Aren't you going yet?"
Tiancheng was stunned, thought for a moment, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"... to meet the parents?"
Chapter 300 Son-in-law (wrong) Selection Contest 1
Last night's discussion ended up with no results. No one even ate much of dinner. It seemed like they were just arguing and fighting, and no one even cared about the specific topic.
Su Xin was also troubled by this. She didn't understand why it was so attractive to accompany her home. Didn't she see that Lafite, who should be the most excited in the port area, was sitting firmly in his seat?
Oh, it crashed? That's ok.
It was only the end of September, so there was still about a week for her to decide on the shipgirl to accompany her. However, Su Xin felt that such a small matter did not need to take up so much time. She could do it during the time she got up and had breakfast.
Negotiable.
But no matter what he thought, when he woke up the next day, Commander Su felt that something was not right.
She woke up half an hour earlier than usual today. This was not due to her regular biological clock or the alarm on her cell phone, but the banging sound downstairs woke up the little conductor.
They started making a fuss early in the morning. The "ping-pong-pong" noise would raise the blood pressure of anyone who heard it. Although the little conductor's condition wasn't that serious, it was certain that he was in a bad mood.
So she lifted the quilt, stepped onto the carpet barefoot, then quickly walked to the window, leaned over the windowsill and looked down.
In the dim morning light, a hardworking green-haired ship girl was hammering on a steel frame in the open space under the dormitory building.
