father- and mother-in-law / 岳父岳母 / (yuèfù yuèmǔ)
A: How have you been getting along with your father- and mother-in-law?
你和岳父岳母相处得好吗？
(nǐ hé yuèfù yuèmǔ xiānɡchǔdé hǎoma?)
B: We've been getting along very well. Why are you suddenly asking about this?
我们相处得非常好,你怎么突然问起来这个话题呢？
(wǒmén xiānɡchǔdé fēichánɡ hǎo, nǐ zěnme tūrán wènqǐlái zhèɡè huàtí ne?)
A: I saw a trending topic called "Chinese fathers-in-law." A netizen claimed that he returned to Anhui Province to see his father-in-law and gave his father-in-law 5,000 yuan. However, when he returned home, he found that his bag had a red envelope from his father-in-law containing 10,000 yuan.
我今天看到一个叫做"中国岳父"的热搜话题。有一位网友称自己回安徽探望岳父,给了岳父5000元钱,但回家发现自己包里多了一个岳父给的一万元红包。

B: This sounds so warm, but what does it have to do with "Chinese fathers-in-law?"
这听起来很温暖,但和"中国岳父"有什么关系呢？
(zhè tīnɡqǐlái hěn wēnnuǎn, dànhé "zhōnɡɡuó yuèfù" yǒu shenme ɡuānxì ne?)
A: Because, in addition to this netizen, a lot of other people left comments saying they have the same experience. Some people said that they could feel the warmth of Chinese people from their fathers- and mothers-in-law.
除了这个网友,很多人也给他留言称自己有过类似的经历。有人说,在他们岳父岳母的身上能感受到中国人的温暖。
