My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 125 Showing off in front of parents

Lu Xiaoxiao and Pei Yunxi seemed to be pinching and scratching each other, but they were actually flirting.

Zhou Miao dodged with a laugh, occasionally retaliating by poking her soft waist here and pinching her cheek there.

He even secretly patted Lu Xiaoxiao's pert bottom, making the girl look both angry and happy. If there hadn't been so many people around, she probably would have pinned him down.

Lu Xingyu covered his face, unable to bear to look, but in reality, he was incredibly envious.

Looks like I need to get my health back on track and gain a few pounds so I can go and flirt with some young girls.

After breakfast, Zhou Miao went to buy some foam boxes and plastic boxes to store the treasure and transport it home.

His parents would definitely be back in the middle of the night. The village is quiet and deserted at night, so it wouldn't attract attention and it wouldn't matter what kind of box they used.

When it was almost time, Zhou Miao took a taxi to the private restaurant to wait for his parents to arrive.

He had contacted his parents before he arrived, so he didn't have to wait long.

Having not seen her youngest son for more than half a year, Wang Xiuying looked him up and down as soon as she saw him: "You look good, but you've lost a bit of weight."

Zhou Miao cheerfully led his parents to a private room: "Mom, everyone gains weight during the Chinese New Year when we eat everywhere! It's normal to lose some weight over the past six months."

Zhou Jiguang looked around the private restaurant and asked, "Ah Miao, this place isn't cheap, is it?"

"It's alright, it's not a big deal for me." After investing a million, Zhou Miao only had tens of thousands left, but having a meal here was no problem for him.

The three of us couldn't eat much. Today's lunch cost 2,800 yuan for a table with eight dishes, and it wasn't as formal as a banquet.

"Is the fish raft business doing well?" Wang Xiuying's eyes lit up. If her youngest son really succeeded in his business, she would reject all the girls introduced by her aunts and uncles.

These people always pick the best ones for their own children first, and only introduce the ones they don't think are so good to others.

Previously, Zhou Miao only worked in other cities, and his salary was not particularly high.

My family doesn't have much money to spare in a short time, so I don't have the confidence to refuse.

After all, it's incredibly difficult for a rural boy to find a suitable and satisfactory wife these days.

"The fish raft is still under renovation. I've been going out to sea to fish and set traps whenever I have free time, and I've made quite a bit of money."

After Zhou Miao led his parents into the private room and they sat down, he told them about his recent situation.

Having made money, he, as a son, never thought of hiding it from his parents. He proudly told them about catching thousands of kilograms of threadfin bream and selling them for hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Seeing his parents' stunned expressions filled him with a great sense of accomplishment.

"Great! Is this the good news you told us about on the phone?" Zhou Jiguang was overjoyed. It wasn't that his son was particularly outstanding; he was just lucky. But the money he made was real.

This relieved his pressure, as he could now handle his youngest son's wedding himself.

He doesn't need to work that hard; he just needs to receive subsidies gradually later on.

There should be fairness and impartiality among the three children. It's unreasonable for the youngest son to be neglectful just because he has money.

Moreover, it only costs a few hundred thousand yuan; you can only pay a down payment for a decent house at most.

Zhou Miao shook his head: "This is nothing. We'll talk about that good thing next time I go to my rented apartment."

Zhou Jiguang and Wang Xiuying looked at each other in dismay. Earning hundreds of thousands of yuan online was not a good thing?

"Ah Miao, what happened? You didn't do anything illegal, did you?" Wang Xiuying asked worriedly.

"Why would I do something illegal with such a wonderful life! But Mom, what you said has reminded me. I'm going to the police station this afternoon to pick up an award, which is probably a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan."

"What's going on now?"

"The food is served quite quickly here, so we can talk while we eat."

During the meal, Zhou Jiguang and his wife gained a general understanding of their youngest son's situation in Nanzhen.

Knowing that he's doing well here puts my mind at ease.

After having lunch, the three headed to the pier.

Zhou Miao first took her parents to the fish raft to take a look, and unexpectedly found that the three girls were there.

"What are you all doing here?" Zhou Miao looked at the three of them with a strange expression.

They all looked like they had dressed up specially, and some even had makeup on.

Having known them for quite some time, Zhou Miao knew that they almost always went makeup-free, at most applying some sunscreen or moisturizing products.

He was joking when he said he was going to meet his parents-in-law this morning, and Pei Yunxi and Lu Xiaoxiao knew that, but they actually came to meet his parents-in-law.

And Luo Qianqian, where did this girl get the news from, and she's joining in the fun too?

"Let's play!" Pei Yunxi gave him a gentle smile and spoke softly.

Lu Xiaoxiao then stepped forward and politely greeted Zhou Jiguang and Wang Xiuying: "Hello, Uncle. Hello, Aunt."

Luo Qianqian and Pei Yunxi gritted their teeth in frustration at being beaten to it, and then quickly went forward to greet them.

Actually, they didn't originally intend to appear in front of Zhou Miao's parents, but they couldn't resist Lu Xiaoxiao being too fussy.

When Pei Yunxi noticed that she had put on makeup and dressed elegantly, she knew what she was planning.

A sense of crisis struck her, and in a moment of impulsiveness, she decided to do it.

Luo Qianqian spotted them at the dock, and after some questioning, another person joined the group.

Zhou Jiguang stared at the three beautiful and dazzling girls, dumbfounded. He nodded stiffly as if to say hello.

He turned to look at his somewhat smug youngest son, feeling a sudden mix of displeasure, envy, and a touch of relief.

The youngest son hasn't been in a relationship for many years, and he's actually quite anxious about it.

Before long, they were eating cabbage, which is a good thing, even if there was a lot of it.

Wang Xiuying was simply happy, so she went up and grabbed Lu Xiaoxiao's hand, acting very enthusiastically, but in reality, she was secretly inquiring about their respective situations.

When women are talking, men can't get a word in edgewise, so Zhou Miao had no choice but to take her father around the fish rafts while explaining things to him.

After taking a quick look around, Zhou Jiguang could no longer contain his questions and pulled him aside to ask in a low voice, "A-Miao, what's the deal with those three girls?"

"What? What's going on?" Zhou Miao looked bewildered.

Seeing his son pretending to be stupid, Zhou Jiguang lightly patted his head in annoyance: "Speak properly, you know what I'm asking."

"They're all great. I met them after I came to Nanzhen. But right now I'm focused on my career, so I don't plan on dating or getting married for the time being."

"Focusing on your career won't affect your marriage. Since you have three such good girls, choose carefully. Dragging it out won't be good for anyone."

"What's the point of choosing! I want everything I can have. If there's anything I don't want, then we'll just be strangers!"

Zhou Jiguang stared in shock at his youngest son, who seemed completely indifferent, as if seeing his true colors for the first time: "You're a scumbag, aren't you?"

"Dad, if it were you, and three beautiful girls liked you, would you be willing to choose only one?" Zhou Miao chuckled mischievously and nudged his father with his shoulder.

He has a great family atmosphere, so he can talk to his dad more freely, sometimes like friends.

"Ahem..." Zhou Jiguang glanced guiltily at Wang Xiuying, then scolded, "Don't be so disrespectful to your father. Your dad is devoted to your mother."

"I don't know who you take after, kid. Your old man isn't exactly a womanizer, is he?"
