Chapter 183: Family Banquet (I)
About the origin of this Land Rover, I thought for a long time, and decided that I couldn't tell the truth to my father, everything else is okay to say, mainly because I can't explain how a small clerk who works in a research institute met a group of rich female bosses with a net worth of more than 100 million luxury cars, and the friendship is good enough to lend someone's car and drive home in a word, although my old man has worked hard in the factory all his life, but he has seen the world and is definitely not easy to fool, and I will definitely be pumped if I talk nonsense, tell the truth...... Not only is it easy to accidentally slurp out the dark bottom of our research, but we also have to spend a lot of space explaining why a big grunt-eyed freak like Xie Erdong can make the rich, beautiful and well-established best Bai Fumei favor and post upside down......
Fortunately, I finally had an idea, explaining that the car was lent to me by the director of our research institute, and that it was only from the old man that I was fooled by the old man, and that the weakness of my father's generation was the so-called "leadership authority" With an almost blind belief in worship, coupled with Chen Sanshan's old Wang Ba, who is particularly good at being sanctimonious and pretending, in short, after the old man went to my place twice to inspect and had in-depth exchanges with Chen Sanshan, in my father's eyes, the old fat man inexplicably became a pedantic, intelligent and rigorous scientific master, and a gentle scholar with noble character and glorious human nature......
"You see, your Director Chen doesn't dislike your low education, he still values you so much, trusts you, gives you such a high salary, and lends you all the buses in the institute to you to drive, you have to work hard in other people's places!" My father watched me carry wine home with his hands behind his back, and at the same time taught me with Lao Tzu's posture: "Study with you Teacher Chen more after work! When will you be admitted to a graduate school, and you will also give your father a long face! Working in a scientific research institution, you see either a doctor or a professor every day, and you don't know how ......to make progress."
In this regard, I dare not refute, to say that my dad has any unrealistic illusions of Jackie Chan, that is, the family can produce a highly educated and high-achieving student, don't be like him because of the academic problem can not be promoted to the workshop director, the original requirements for me are only college graduates, but a few years ago college students began to depreciate, the employment situation is grim, so my standards have also risen to graduate school, when I graduated from college, I did not take the postgraduate examination to find a job directly but the old man was angry enough, to be honest, if it wasn't for the good income in recent years, the industry is still " engaged in scientific research", the old man had to sneak me home and go to graduate school behind closed doors......
As soon as I entered the door, the old man's face that had been misunderstood bloomed with a kind smile that I rarely saw, and he smiled and smiled towards Rong'er, who was sitting on the sofa and was holding hands and talking. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Uncle......" Seeing my dad coming back, Rong'er hurriedly said hello, but before she got up, she was pulled back to the sofa by my mother.
"Drink again! Drink again!" My mother glanced at my father very dissatisfied, and immediately began to nag: "I don't know that I have high blood pressure! This is the first time for Rong'er to come to our house, and he has brought so many colleagues and friends, you don't have to accompany him well, you have to take your son to buy wine! Let the guests come up by themselves, what are the words! You can't drink less, which time the doctor doesn't advise you to quit drinking quickly......
"I want to drink it......" my dad replied with a stalk around his neck, and there was no follow-up, and the old couple might have a few words for this ten years ago, but after so many years of dealing with it, my mother has long been accustomed to my dad's problems, and my dad has long adapted to my mother's nagging, plus today's outsiders are not good at being ugly, so the cordial conversation between the two will stop immediately, and it will not hurt the harmony.
"Rong'er, I can't control this old thing, in addition to managing Xiaodi in the future, you will also take care of him, he will definitely listen to what you say!" My mother turned her head and joked at Rong'er, so frightened that Rong'er was at a loss and waved her hand again and again.
My dad also hurriedly took out the red envelope that had been prepared a long time ago: "We have rules here, your aunt and I have to give a red envelope for the first time, 5,000 yuan is not too little......"
"Thank you, uncle, aunt," Rong'er has been living in modern times for a long time, and naturally knows that 5,000 yuan is not a small amount for a family like my family, and this red envelope is given to the second elder to recognize her identity as her future daughter-in-law, and she is happy and apprehensive for a while.
"Come on, come on, eat and eat, the dishes are cold," my mother pointed to a table of dishes that had already been set up on the table, and couldn't help but pull Rong'er to get up, and continued to complain to my father while walking: "Just wait for you to buy wine, so many guests are embarrassed to eat first, getting older and older, how can things become more and more out of tune, don't be stunned by a few of you young people, move the stool yourself......"
We hurriedly moved the stool into the table, with the tone of my parents recognizing my daughter-in-law, the atmosphere in the banquet was naturally harmonious, my mother kept shouting at Rong'er, and by the way, she used her habits and means to play the residual heat in the neighborhood committee, and asked about the situation at Rong'er's house, as for my father, he was silent, and he put vegetables in Rong'er's bowl vigorously, as for me, I couldn't intervene or speak, so I had to bury my head and eat together with the black dog who was intentionally or unintentionally snubbed, of course, from time to time I had to kick Xie Erdong under the table, so as not to see which dish on the table was unsafe and unscientific, and I didn't open my mouth to say something shocking, ruining the beautiful and harmonious atmosphere at the table......
"Xiaodi help me serve the soup!" My mother ordered, I paused for a moment, quickly got up and walked with my mother to the kitchen, Rong'er also wanted to help, but was pressed back into the seat by my mother.
"Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it," as soon as I entered the kitchen, I lowered my voice and asked bluntly, how can a bowl of soup be served by two people? Obviously, the old lady, like the old man, has something to ask me privately.
Sure enough, my mother didn't care about the gurgling soup pot on the stove, but turned to look at me seriously: "Son, you really think about it, is this girl?"
I sighed in my heart, sure enough, I still came, since I was a child, my mother has loved me more than my father, and I must be more cautious than my father in finding a daughter-in-law......
The main reason why I'm so worried is because ...... From the mother-in-law's point of view, Rong'er's condition is really not good, although her appearance is quite good, but I have already mentioned in the preventive injection I gave to the second elder of the family in advance, this girl has no father, no mother and no relatives, no family, no education and no job......
This is all the truth that I have to say, after all, I can't casually pick up an old man from the institute and pretend to be my future father-in-law, but in this way, the lack of family background conditions may also be fatal, we young people may not care about this, but for people of my parents' age, a girl is alone and nothing, to say that it is a lonely wanderer difficult to know the roots, to say that it is serious, that is, the father and mother of the Tiansha Lone Star, whether it is feudal superstition or not, generally looking for a daughter-in-law does not dare to find such a ......
"Well, I've decided. "As a man, you have to be responsible at this time, so I said to my mother with a calm gaze.
"If you want to say that Rong'er, this child, seems to be a girl with rules, and when you grow up, you should also make your own decisions...... That's it, it's ......" My mother quietly glanced at the living room, gritted her teeth and said, "If you want me to agree, you have to answer me a question first, to be honest!"
The last three words were unusually heavy, which made me nervous unconsciously.
Rong'er ...... It's not that you can't find a daughter-in-law in a hurry, so you bought it from Vietnam, right?"
“…… You're really my own mother!" I couldn't cry and laugh again: "How can you be like my father, think of anything bad and put it on my head!"
"Isn't this afraid that you will be deceived when you go on the wrong road?" My mother's expression was gentle and her eyes were kind: "The boy of the old Li family in the front building, yes, it is the one who ran away from the daughter-in-law, the neighbors originally wondered how he suddenly found his daughter-in-law after more than 30 years of singleness, and later the neighborhood committee did a census and found that his daughter-in-law was bought in Vietnam, and he didn't know anything about the roots, no wonder he couldn't find it back if he ran away......"
"This has nothing to do with code words!" I was angry: "In your opinion, as long as the daughter-in-law I am looking for is not bought in Vietnam, even if I don't have a father, a mother, and a job?"
My mother sighed: "Actually, even if you buy it in Vietnam, you can really be good to others, let people live with you with peace of mind and don't run away for the rest of your life, and my mother has no opinion...... You also know that you are almost thirty years old, and you have this education and appearance...... If you can find an honest girl to follow you, our family will burn high incense!"
