Hubei Province.

Qinhu Town.

After entering the 21st century, the knitting and children's clothing industry in Qinhu Town has sprung up, occupying a pivotal position in the whole country, and has become a "famous knitting town" in the country, and has been identified as an important industrial cluster by Hubei Province.

As the competition becomes more and more fierce, business is becoming more and more difficult to do!

Of course, no matter what field you are in, you are always strong.

Many bosses who do knitting and children's clothing feel that it is becoming more and more difficult to make money, but there are also a few bosses whose business is getting bigger and bigger, and this is mainly about cost and sales channels.

Tang Dongying runs a thermal underwear factory, which belongs to the knitting series.

In the nineties, there were only a few thermal underwear factories in the town, so Tang Dongying's business was really good at that time, and he could earn nearly one million a year at the peak.

After entering the 21st century, I don't know how many local and foreign bosses have invested in the knitting industry, as of now, the town has dozens of thermal underwear factories, and the pressure of competition is conceivable.

Fortunately, Tang Dongying also has his advantages, after all, he is one of the first owners to open a thermal underwear factory, and many years of operation have also allowed him to have a stable sales channel.

Second, he was also one of the majestic bosses in the town back then, and now although he has washed his hands in the golden basin, the apprentices he accepted when he was mixed with the rivers and lakes are now also mixed into boss-level figures.

Therefore, in Qinhu Town, there are still very few people who dare not to give him face.

In addition, Tang Dongying has also made a lot of money over the years, and he has expanded the scale of his thermal underwear factory two or three times, which is barely surviving the fierce competition.

However, although it survived, its profits have shrunk by at least more than half compared with previous years.

In the past, he could earn nearly one million a year at his peak, but now he can earn three or four hundred thousand a year, which is already very good.

Anyway, business is not as good as a year.

There is no way, and later the boss who entered the thermal underwear industry, the scale of investment is really bigger than the other.

The large scale of production, the low cost, and the strong competitiveness are understandable.

"Eh, if I have an investment of twenty or thirty million, I will definitely kill these dogs one by one!" Tang Dongying scolded whining at home.

Huang Xiuya had already figured out his temper, and said speechlessly: "Okay, don't complain, are you sure you want to drive instead of taking a car?"

Tang Dongying said: "It's more convenient to drive by yourself, it's too troublesome for us to bring so many things in the car!"

Huang Xiuya said: "I don't know if Xiaohui's family likes to eat these local products from our side!"

Tang Dongying said: "If you like to eat, let Xiaomin bring it to them next time, if you don't like to eat it, forget it, just change it to something else next time!"

Huang Xiuya asked, "You really don't need to tell Xiao Min in advance?"

Tang Dongying smiled: "It's not too late to tell her when we arrive!"

Huang Xiuya nodded and sighed: "Alas, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Min is going to celebrate her 19th birthday, time flies so fast!"

Tang Dongying said: "What's fast, I feel that this time is too slow, and it will take another three years for them to meet the marriage age stipulated by the state!"

Huang Xiuya smiled: "You wish your daughter would get married sooner?"

Tang Dongying glanced at her and said, "Don't you want them to get married early?"

Huang Xiuya smiled when she heard this: "Of course I hope they get married as soon as possible, an excellent son-in-law like Xiaohui, if you miss it, you will never find it again, if you can, I can't wait for them to get married immediately!"

Tang Dongying nodded and said: "I'm also worried about the long nights and dreams, and there are still three full years, who knows if the relationship between the two of them has always been so stable?"

Huang Xiuya said: "It's useless for us to worry, fortunately, Xiaomin is smart enough, and she knows that she chose to go to the provincial capital of Gui Province to study when she was in college, so that she can always be with Xiaohui!"

Tang Dongying said with a smile: "Didn't Xiao Min say that this National Day, Xiaohui took her and her sister to Zhucheng, the hometown of longevity in the world, Detian Waterfall and other places to travel, it seems that the relationship between the two is still very good!"

Huang Xiuya also smiled: "Xiaomin, this girl praises Xiaohui every time she calls, it seems that Xiaohui's child is indeed very good to her!"

Tang Dongying nodded with satisfaction and said: "Young people nowadays are spending a lot, it is really rare for a man like Xiaohui to be capable and emotionally single-minded, and our Xiaomin's luck is really good!"

Huang Xiuya was also full of praise and said: "Yes, Xiao Min can be with Xiao Hui, it's really the ancestral tomb is smoking!"

"Okay, don't say so much, hurry up and pack up and get ready to go!"

"Well, it's basically all packed, load your things into the car and go!"

"Then load the car, I will take turns driving with you tonight, so that you can rest for a few hours, so as not to stay up to Gui Province and have no energy to attend Xiaomin's birthday party!"

"Well, then I open the first half of the night and you drive the second half of the night?"

"Okay, that's it!"

......

Tang Xiaomin naturally didn't know that her parents had driven thousands of miles to attend her birthday party.

In the past, every year for her birthday, what she looked forward to most was the birthday gift given to her by her parents.

It wasn't until 2000 that he began to meet Liu Xiahui and became his girlfriend on his birthday in 2001, Tang Xiaomin's most anticipated birthday gift every year was a birthday gift from her boyfriend.

The bouquet of 'money flowers' given by her boyfriend on her birthday last year is still reluctantly removed by Tang Xiaomin.

At that time, when I took the photos of 'Money Flower' to my best friends in high school, Zhongli Yuzhi and Miao Feifei, I was envious of these two girlfriends, not only because this 'Money Flower' was worth a lot, but also because the idea was amazing.

At noon today, Tang Xiaomin, who was at school, had already received a blessing call from her best friend Miao Feifei and Zhongli Yuzhi, and both of them were extremely curious on the phone and asked what birthday gift Liu Dajun gave her today.

Tang Xiaomin responded to them with a smile, now she is still in school, and she will not know about her birthday gift until night.

Then the two girlfriends repeatedly told them to notify them when they received their birthday gifts.

Tang Xiaomin naturally smiled and said okay, after hanging up her best friend's phone, she was also guessing what birthday gift her boyfriend would give her?

......

From Qinhu Town, Hubei Province to the provincial capital of Guizhou Province, the distance is more than 1,200 kilometers, if you are familiar with the road conditions if you drive by yourself, it is enough to have twelve or thirteen hours.

And Tang Dongying and Huang Xiuya both drove to Gui Province for the first time, so far away and didn't know the road, the speed really couldn't be raised, the two set off at about six o'clock yesterday afternoon, and arrived at the provincial capital of Gui Province at about three o'clock this afternoon.

It took a full twenty-one hours.

Fortunately, the couple took turns driving, so they could have a good rest in the car, and if they were driving alone, even if they could survive, they would have to live half a life last year.

Even if the two of them took turns, after arriving in the provincial capital of Gui Province, the mental state of the two of them was a little haggard.

"Husband, let's find a hotel to open an hourly room first, freshen up and dress up first, and then contact Xiaomin, right?" Huang Xiuya said to Tang Dongying, who was driving.

Tang Dongying nodded and said, "Well, it's time to freshen up and dress up, and the image still needs to be exquisite!"

......

Gui Yi.

After school in the afternoon, Tang Xiaomin received a call from his mother.

"What? You and Dad are in Yongning now, when did you arrive, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"Didn't I want to surprise you, we've only just arrived!"

"And where are you now?"

"Here at the Marriott!"

"Then you wait there, I'll pick you up with Xiaohui right away!"

"Well, your dad and I originally wanted to drive to your school to find you, but we weren't familiar with the road, so we didn't bother to toss!"

"Oh my God, you drove with my dad?"

"Yes, we set off yesterday, because the road is unfamiliar, and it took twenty-one hours to arrive!"

"Faint to death, how easy it is for you to go directly to the city and take a car, why do you drive here so hard?"

"Your dad brought Xiaohui a lot of souvenirs from our side, and he didn't think it was troublesome to bring so many things in the car, so he simply drove over by himself!"

"Okay, then you wait there first, I'll pick you up with Xiaohui when I leave the school!"

......

Twenty minutes later.

Marriott Hotel.

Liu Xia Hui said with a smile on his face: "Uncle and aunt, you have worked hard all the way!"

Tang Dongying said with a smile: "It's not hard, the two of us took turns driving, and it was still very easy, mainly because we were not familiar with the road conditions, so it took so long." ”

Huang Xiuya also smiled: "If you go again, it won't take so long!"

Tang Xiaomin said: "Don't say so much, Mom and Dad, it took you so long to come over, and it is estimated that you haven't eaten a good meal on the way, let's hurry up and eat!"

Liu Xiahui nodded and said, "I've already arranged it, then I'll drive and lead the way, Xiaomin, you accompany your uncle and aunt!"

Tang Dongying and Huang Xiuya naturally have no opinion, as Tang Xiaomin said, the two of them really didn't have a good meal along the way, they just ate something to fill their stomachs.

......

Dinner is arranged at the old Liuyuzhuang.

Although Lao Liuyuzhuang only deals in fish, as the owner, it is naturally privileged.

As long as the ingredients are prepared in advance, those chefs will naturally be able to create a table full of color and flavor.

Don't think that the fish cooking masters of the fish village can only cook fish, other dishes are also good at the chefs, and it is not difficult to manage a hearty meal at all.

Usually just eat, like this kind of birthday or other important festivals, Yanagi Hui provides the best ingredients, as long as the cooking skills are not bad, then the result is definitely world-class delicious.

Today is the birthday of the prospective daughter-in-law, and Liu Yuansheng and Jiang Shiyun both rushed to the provincial capital to attend the daughter-in-law's birthday banquet.

Needless to say, Liu Xiaxue's sister must have been there.

As for the relatives in the provincial capital, after asking Tang Xiaomin's opinion, they were not invited.

originally thought that the family would have a meal like this, but no one expected that the prospective in-laws' family, who was thousands of miles away, actually rushed over, which made Liu Xiahui's family of four cheer up, and they had to receive the prospective in-laws' family well!

The parents of both sides are actually not meeting for the first time.

Last year, the parents of both sides met once.

That time, Tang Dongying and his wife planned to let Liu Xiahui and Tang Xiaomin get engaged first, but Liu Xiahui did not have the custom of getting engaged here, so they did not engage in this kind of formalism, and they could get married directly after reaching the age stipulated by the state!

......

After the two families met and greeted each other, Yanagi Hui asked people to serve the food.

The more time-consuming dishes are made in advance, and the dishes that need to be made freshly are also made into semi-finished products, and only the last process can be done.

Coupled with seven or eight chefs working together, you can imagine how fast the food is served.

Therefore, it was basically Liu Xia Hui who had just ordered to go down, and then the dishes were served by the waiter.

"Uncle and aunt, these fish are the signature dishes of our fish village, and the other dishes are made by the chefs with other ingredients, and they should taste good, you can try them!"

"Brother Tang, I heard that this fish cake is the flavor of yours, can you taste it and see if the taste is authentic?"

"Sister Huang, this roast duck and roast goose are our own business, how about you taste a piece and see how it tastes?"

"Uncle and aunt, this is our specialty dish sweet lotus root, Xiao Min likes to eat it very much, you can also try it!"

As the dishes were brought up, Liu Xiahui's family of four warmly greeted Tang Dongying and his wife.

Seeing this scene, Tang Xiaomin's heart was sweet, so far, the Liu family has been really good to her.

And Tang Dongying and Huang Xiuya tasted these delicious flavors one by one under the warm greeting of the Liu family, and they were full of praise while eating. Each of these dishes is extremely delicious, and since last night, the two of them have not eaten a serious meal, so it is really delicious.

If you have good food, you naturally have to match it with good wine, Tang Dongying was originally a person who was not happy with alcohol, and Liu Xiahui and his son specially accompanied him to drink Moutai.

And Jiang Shiyun, Huang Xiuya, Liu Xiaxue, Tang Xiaomin (the author Jun couldn't help but come out for a while, I feel that these names have been obtained very well ^_^) The four daughters drank fruit wine.

The meal lasted from about 6:30 p.m. to 8:40 p.m., and it took more than two hours to finish.

At the end of the meal, everyone took a taxi to the most famous and luxurious KTV in the provincial capital.

The box was booked by Hui Yanashita a long time ago, and it is the most luxurious box in KTV.

Entering the box, Liu Xiaxue and Tang Xiaomin's two daughters were all bright-eyed, this luxurious box was decorated with countless flowers, and the visual effect was definitely so good that it exploded.

On the table in the center of the box, a six-tiered cake is on the table.

Around the cake, there are several beautiful fruit bowls and some delicate snacks.

The periphery is filled with beer.

Seeing this scene, Tang Dongying, Huang Xiuya, Liu Yuansheng, and Jiang Shiyun were all shocked.

For these post-60s, they have been to a lot of karaoke halls in the early years, but they have never been to the KTV that is very popular among young people today.

What's more, this is not only the most luxurious KTV box, Yanagi Hui also deliberately spent money to ask the person in charge of KTV to ask the master to decorate these flowers perfectly, making the box look luxurious and romantic.

Therefore, the first impression of Tang Dongying's four people was shock.

It was the first time they had seen such a luxurious and beautiful box.

Don't say it's them, it's Liu Xiaxue and Tang Xiaomin, it's not the first time they've come to KTV, but they've never seen such a luxurious and romantic box.

"This KTV is more than 100 times more luxurious than the karaoke hall we went to before!" Tang Dongying said with admiration.

Liu Yuansheng also looked around and said: "Yes, the karaoke hall we went to before was really far from this KTV, these flowers are all real flowers, this match is really beautiful!"

Huang Xiuya asked the girl standing next to her: "Xiaomin, is this KTV so beautiful?"

Tang Xiaomin shook his head and said: "How is it possible, such a beautiful box, I have seen it for the first time, and the flowers in this box should have been bought by Xiaohui with other money!"

Huang Xiuya smacked her tongue when she heard this: "You young people really think differently from us!"

Just when everyone was shocked by the luxury and romance of the box, Liu Xia Hui said: "Sister, you go and order a birthday song first, I'll go and insert a candle and prepare to open the cake!"

Liu Xuexue answered, and then went to the song station to start ordering birthday songs.

Yanagi Hui took out 18 candles and inserted them, symbolizing that he was 18 years old.

Seeing that his sister had already lit the birthday song, Yanagi Hui lit the candle, and then the prelude to the birthday song just sounded.

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

The crowd sang a birthday song along with the stereo.

After singing a song, it is time to make a wish and blow out the candles.

After these procedures, it is time for the most important part of giving birthday gifts.

Liu Yuansheng's gift was the simplest, giving an almighty cash red envelope.

Jiang Shiyun's gift was the most special, giving a household registration booklet.

What does this household registration book mean, even a fool understands it, so when he saw the household registration book, Tang Xiaomin was both shy and happy.

And even happier are Tang Dongying and Huang Xiuya, Jiang Shiyun gave their daughters the household registration book in front of them, representing that they really treat their daughters as daughters-in-law.

Liu Xiaxue's gift was a bottle of brand-name perfume, a brand that Tang Xiaomin liked very much.

Tang Dongying and Huang Xiuya also gave their gifts.

After everyone's gifts were given, they all looked at Liu Xiahui, wanting to know what gifts he had prepared.

Seeing this, Liu Xia Hui smiled and said: "Xiaomin, your driver's license has been taken for more than a month, and this gift should have been given to you a long time ago, but I was lazy, so I will wait until your birthday today to give it to you!"

As he spoke, Liu Xiahui took out a key from his pocket and said with a smile: "No, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you, see if you like it or not!"

Tang Xiaomin took the car key with a surprised face, and when she saw the MINI letters on the car key, she was still a little ignorant about the car, but Tang Dongying, who had studied the car, was shocked.

This is a BMW mini, the cheapest is not less than 200,000, and with Liu Xiahui's always bold character, Tang Dongying can be sure that this car should not be less than 300,000, or even higher.

That's a lot of money!
