Chapter 046: Is It an Empty Glove White Wolf?
(Originally, he was not sure that this "blind date" would be recognized by the Zhao family;
But Brother Zhao's sentence "When college students apply, they have to talk about their advantages first, reminded him at once." Hmph, talking about ideals and ambitions and your own advantages, this is your strength. So--then he successfully passed the "acceptance", and was about to become the top boss Chenglong fast son-in-law, and since then he has stepped into the fast lane of climbing to the top of the mountain-) When Zhong Jingliang drove the Flying Pigeon brand light riding electric car, under the command of Zhao Li in the back seat of the car, after many turns and wipes, he finally came to the gate of their new residential community and stopped, and couldn't help but feel "groaning" when he looked at it: Isn't this the "red house" called by the officials and the "corrupt village" called by the masses in private? As early as more than six years ago, when Zhong Jingliang was still studying in the county high school, he heard people talk about this very famous residential area. It was nicknamed "Red House" because all its houses were made of red tiles, but it was also given the notoriety of "corrupt village" because of the fact that several corrupt officials were ousted from power among the original residents.
It is said that this was the most luxurious and wealthy community in the county at that time, and the owners who lived in it were all officials and wealthy businessmen. Among Zhong Jingliang's classmates in high school, there are two families living here: two of them are the sons of the township secretary and county chief, and the daughter of a real estate developer. I remember that at that time, because a classmate had inadvertently called the "corrupt village", the secretary's son found someone to beat the classmate who had accidentally called the "corrupt village" on the side of the road after his evening school, and he never dared to call his name again.
It is precisely because this community once had the notoriety of being denounced as a "corrupt village" that those county and township cadres who originally lived in this community, who were consciously upright and had no bad deeds of corruption, were afraid that they would be beaten by others when they came out with a bad name, so they preferred to sell for less money, and insisted on selling their original properties in this community and buying another property in another place in peace. Although this move is a bit of an overkill of "the left in form and the right in reality," its spirit is still commendable. At least that's how Zhong Jingliang knew.
But he just didn't understand what Zhao Li's parents and brothers thought? Since his family was a new resident who had moved from the city, and there were vacant houses in so many residential areas in the county, why didn't he place his family here and let people talk about the discolored area? Of course, he only thought about it in his heart, and he would never say it; even Zhao Li couldn't say it. He didn't want to be like the talkative classmate back then, and he was beaten up again by the evil young man who lived in the "corrupt village", nor did he want to recruit Zhao's family for no reason. Therefore, he would rather have a sentence to warm his stomach than say more.
"Let's go, you're still hesitating when you get to the gate?" Seeing that he hesitated for a while, Zhao Li also misunderstood that he was afraid of seeing his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he said jokingly. "Although there is a saying that 'an ugly daughter-in-law is afraid to see her in-laws', you are not an ugly daughter-in-law, and your 'father-in-law' is still your immediate boss, and he has seen you more than once before; Only my eldest brother and younger sister, young people, because they lived in the city, are more knowledgeable, and maybe they will be more harsh when they meet. But don't be afraid of them, with me and my dad behind you, they won't do anything to you if they don't approve of it. No matter what you say, they are all my relatives, and the starting point is for my good. Look at my face, no matter what they say when they get home, don't worry about them. Anyway, when we get married in the future, the main thing is that we will live, and no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can't go to my husband's house to make trouble. Let's go, stand up, not humble or high, pass the first hurdle before our marriage, and then it will be a sunny day. ”
After listening to the heroine's reassuring words, Zhong Jingliang immediately became a lot bolder, so he pushed the car behind the other party, and walked into the community with his chest held high. The Zhao family lives in room "B-102", with four bedrooms, two living rooms, two kitchens and two bathrooms, a large house of nearly 200 square meters, which is indeed luxurious and luxurious. After pushing the electric car into the carport, just about to step into the main house, Zhong Jingliang's mind suddenly sounded in the Yue opera "Dream of Red Mansions", when Lin Daiyu first entered the Grand View Garden in Jiafu, he sang two sentences of drama "Don't dare to take one more step, don't dare to say a word more-"
In the late autumn evening, it gets dark early, and it is just six o'clock, and the lights in the living room are all on. Zhao Li held Zhong Jingliang's hand tightly and pulled him into the room. Then he shouted loudly: "Dad, Mom, big brother, little sister, we are back." Pointing to Zhao's father and mother sitting on both sides of the square table in the living room, and the man in his forties sitting on the sofa opposite, and a girl in his 20s, he introduced his fiancé one by one and said: "This is my father, director of Jinshui Education, your top boss, not a stranger, right?"
Jing Liang hurriedly bowed deeply to Zhao Pingfan and said, "Zhao-uncle, you are good. ”
"Good, good. Sit aside. Father Zhao raised his finger to sit beside him and said. "This is my mother, Comrade Niu Chunxiu, a retired cadre of the former Municipal Women's Federation. Zhao Li pointed at Zhao's mother and said teasingly. "People were well-known 'old three-eight' back then!" But he quietly added in Jingliang's ear: "Standard Marxist-Leninist old lady." ”
"This kid is not too big or small in front of the guests. Mother Zhao first glared at her daughter, and then threw her critical gaze at Zhong Jingliang.
Jing Liang hurriedly bowed to Zhao's mother again and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry." Mother Zhao only looked at the other party, but she didn't hear it at that time.
"Lao Niu, other people's children are bowing to you and saying hello, why are you still stunned?" Zhao's father immediately reminded dissatisfied.
"Oh. Good, good. Mother Zhao said absentmindedly, her eyes still staring at Jing Liang.
"Mom, there are no flowers on his face, what are you still looking good for?" Zhao Li said teasing his mother again. "After watching it for a long time, do you see anything wrong?"
"Hmm. I didn't see anything wrong, and my body was still good. But that's not right?" Zhao's mother seemed to say to her daughter, and said to herself. "I think I was born in a peasant family in the countryside, but I don't think I have done much farm work. ”
"Auntie, although I was born in a rural family since I was a child, I have been going to school since I was sensible. Although he went home during the holidays, he didn't help the family work, but he was born white and tender and never tanned. Jing Liang said truthfully as if he was very annoyed. "Just because the school started after the wheat holiday this year, the head teacher insisted that the village gave me an appraisal and asked someone to open the back door to write it; he said, 'Who has ever seen a holiday work with fine skin and tender meat'; and finally sent someone to the village to investigate, but was seriously told that 'this child is more active in working during the holiday than anyone else'. I hated it so much that I didn't even wear a straw hat when I worked in the future, and wanted to tan directly, but it still backfired. ”
Unexpectedly, Jing Liangyuan did not have any fictional and exaggerated words, but it suddenly diluted the originally tense atmosphere in the room; everyone laughed, as if this solemn "blind date exam" was about to end. But Zhong Jingliang himself, and Zhao Li, who had been secretly sweating for him, were still relieved that it was too early. I didn't expect a more serious and snarky investigation to follow. Just as he followed the order above, he turned his head to greet his peers present, Zhao Li's eldest brother Zhao Chuan and younger sister Zhao Yi, but he was suddenly questioned by the two of them with bad intentions.
"Hey, I want to ask Zhong Jingliang, section chief of the Letters and Visits Section of the Education Bureau: In what capacity are you here to be a guest at my house today?" or Zhao Chuan was the first to say it. "Is it my director's father's subordinate, or my sister's petition front?"
"This—I'm afraid it's neither, isn't it?" said Zhong Jingliang after the other party's abrupt question, and he snorted. "It's—"
"Big brother, are you deliberately making things difficult?" Seeing that her fiancé was embarrassed, Zhao Li immediately stepped forward to help and questioned her brother. "You know that Lu Dao Jingliang came to the house today as my fiancé and your fiancé-brother-in-law, and made a special trip to visit my father-in-law, mother-in-law, eldest brother and sister-in-law, and younger sister-in-law;
"Is it true? Since it is said that this section chief Zhong came to my sister's fiancé and my fiancé brother-in-law to go on a blind date and accept family inspection and inquiry. Zhao Chuan changed the topic again. "Then I would like to ask again: just like today's college graduates who apply for a job in a unit, they must first talk to the hiring unit about their ideals and ambitions, and the advantages and advantages of the position they are seeking to recruit, right?"
"Yes, you are a poor student from a rural family, and it is good to be able to go to the city to work. Zhao Li's little sister also lost no time in echoing. "I don't have any social background in the county, I am poor and white, I don't have a brick or a tile, and I am still greedy for heaven and want to marry the daughter of the director of education, my sister, the legal adviser of the county petition office;
Hey, don't say before Zhou Li came, she "this big brother is the most difficult leader", and she "that little sister is not a fuel-efficient lamp"; The two brothers and sisters sang and harmonized, poking at Zhong Jingliang's soft underbelly; but both of them did mention the most realistic problem of young people making a living in society at present; not only did she, a lawyer and legal adviser who studied law professionally, but also known for her eloquence and eloquence, find it difficult to answer for a while; and when she looked back, she saw her father frowning and her mother shaking her head; they all sweated for Zhong Jingliang. Zhou Li has also concluded that Zhong Jingliang's "application" for her son-in-law this time -- coming to the house on a blind date and being inspected and inspected, eight or nine times out of ten is sad! She originally wanted to immediately lead the other party to retreat halfway, but it was nothing more than the most reluctance to deny the six relatives later, and even if she fought against the water, she would eventually complete the marriage. Because she can't leave the man in front of her for a long time.
However, just as Zhou Li felt that there was nothing to be done, he stood up suddenly, first glared at his brother and sister, and then turned around and wanted to pull Zhong Jingliang to evacuate immediately, but saw the other party smiling calmly, and waved his hand gently, meaning that she should not be impatient, he had the idea, and he was more sure to persuade the whole family, including the eldest brother and younger sister, at the same time, so that they could accept him as a new family member without reservation. It's not that he's so calm and determined, but he's confident and sure. It was just now that the brothers and sisters of the Zhou family sang and harmonized, and repeatedly sent the most harsh and naked questions to themselves, or when they were ridiculed and ridiculed and insulted, he had already found an opportunity to refute them from the cracks in the other party's words. Didn't they ask college students to apply for a job and need to talk to the employer about their ideals and aspirations and the advantages and advantages of applying for the post? They thought they had been stumped and would definitely not be able to answer, so they voluntarily surrendered and withdrew from the ranks of the Zhou family's quasi-members.
But they were wrong, how did they know how to talk freely about their ideals and show their negative results, and enumerate their advantages and strengths in being able to marry Zhou Li, but it was precisely their own strong point! As early as when he was studying at the provincial "comprehensive university," he participated in several college debates on this topic, and each time he won with a high score. This time, he decided to "climb the dragon and attach the phoenix" to use the father and daughter of the Zhou family to help him succeed, and after he made up his mind, he changed the unit he applied for to the Zhou family and changed the position he applied for to Zhou Li's husband. So, he was not in a hurry, neither humble nor arrogant, according to the debate topics carefully proposed by the other party, according to the arguments prepared by himself, and argued one by one in a clear way - only to hear Zhou's mother nod and admire. Zhou Li smiled with confidence and satisfaction, but what about the top boss Zhou Ju, he couldn't help but clapped his hands again and again and said: "I thought that to meet my precious daughter's requirements, relying on my old face as the director, to take care of your kid as a deputy bureau; I didn't expect your ideological ability, but I completely wanted to raise your job needs." When I go to work tomorrow, I will ask the bureau personnel to report to the county party committee and ask your deputy director to take charge of letters and visits. ”
At this time, the brothers and sisters of the Zhou family, who were listening on the side, also nodded their heads again and again.
