Early the next morning, Zhang Chen followed him to the township, and in the idle yard in front of the township government guest house, Zhang Wenlin stood in front of a black Santana dressed as if he was going out.

"Brother-in-law, you want to go out too?"

Liu Shuping came from afar, and as soon as he entered the courtyard door, he saw Zhang Wenlin.

"Dad, I'm going to squeeze through with you this time, but I'm going to change cars from the city to Shanghai, and you and Shuping will come back and ask Master Li to turn the car around the city and wait for me."

It turned out that Zhang Wenlin's construction team was still short of more than a dozen people, and originally fifty people were enough, and he didn't want a few men who were not from Baihe Village to push this matter back afterwards, so Zhang Wenlin planned to go to Shanghai to find a few acquaintances in the village to come back.

Seeing that his son Zhang Chen also came to the township, he had the idea of taking him to Shanghai to see, Zhang Wenlin has felt more and more that his son is very smart in the past six months, and he has long had the idea of taking him out to see the world.

He didn't have time to discuss this matter with his family during the school holiday this time, but he asked Shuping to bring Zhang Chen to the township yesterday, and it would only take four or five days at most to go back and forth anyway.

"Take him to do something, children don't like to ride the road so much."

Lao Liu was also taken aback when he heard his eldest son-in-law say this, the child is still young and will be spoiled in the future, Zhang Chen originally heard that his old man was going to take him to Shanghai, and his smile was not much worse than a flower.

As soon as he heard his grandfather's words, his face suddenly became anxious.

"Dad, Aiping is alone at home with a small one, how can I have time to take care of him, I can rest assured that I will take it."

Zhang Wenlin said this, although the old man was a little unhappy on his face, he didn't say anything, and then beckoned to get into the car.

Zhang Wenlin, a group of five people, sat in the co-pilot's seat, and the three older one-and-a-half-old boys sat in the back, which was not very crowded, but Zhang Chen sat next to his grandfather and felt uncomfortable.

I didn't dare to move or speak, and I didn't have a place to put my feet.

In this era, having a Santana ride is already considered a top treatment, this is the car of the township guest house, Zhang Wenlin did not sit in vain, and spent 2,000 yuan to charter the township car for five days, and paid for the road and fuel.

He knew what his father-in-law and brother-in-law were doing when they went to northern Jiangsu, and they couldn't afford to lose face, and the passbook at home was also carried with him, and he took 20,000 yuan from his own savings early in the morning, and stuffed it to the old man as soon as he got in the car.

In the years when 10,000 yuan can build a good building, 20,000 yuan is by no means a small number, and the two turns of the brand-new blue-green old man's head are really eye-catching.

Even if Liu Shuping has a good craft, he has to earn 20,000 yuan in 96, and it is not easy to save money for two or three years.

So when Xu Rong saw the money in the hands of her future father-in-law, she was more and more surprised, and she looked at this future brother-in-law after she had just seen Zhang Wenlin in the car.

The person is very energetic, not an old man but very strong, although it is much worse than the image of a national cadre she thought at the beginning, but it is such a person, not to mention that she can get a Santana car, and she can take out 20,000 yuan casually.

Although he doesn't pay attention to how much capital the old Liu family has, Xu Rong is also a careful person, who doesn't want his future in-laws to have better conditions.

Seeing that there was such a big brother-in-law supporting her, she was originally a little apprehensive, and her heart settled down a lot, but she was a little annoyed, Liu Shuping woke up and didn't tell her that there was such a "capable" big brother-in-law at home.

How did she know that the old Zhang family made a fortune in such a year, let alone her, even the old man of the old Liu family and Liu Shuping didn't know how much savings the old Zhang family saved.

After the car left Baichong, at this time, because the highway to the provincial capital had not yet been opened, so it had to drive all the way to the city along the provincial highway.

In less than three hours, Zhang Wenlin took Zhang Chen off the bus and changed to a bus to Yi'an Station, Zhang Chen also remembered that there was a train from Yi'an to Shanghai at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, it took far more than 12 hours to get from Yi'an to Shanghai, and the father and son did not plan to go to the house of the second uncle of the Liu family, but just found a restaurant and got some food at the station and waited for the train.

After the father and son of the Zhang family got off the car, the driving master Li ran a lot of roads from north to south, and the road to Yancheng in northern Jiangsu was not a problem, because it was his own driving, so he was not in a hurry, and the group got off in Nanjing halfway in the evening to rest for a night.

The next day, I set off before dawn, and this time it took more than five hours, until it was almost ten o'clock the next morning, and I entered the boundary of Lake City.

Xu Rong's family is not in the urban area, but in a place called Xujia Town in the suburbs, there are not many people with the surname Xu, but Xujia Town is an exception, almost every family here has the surname Xu.

The drive from Hucheng City to Xujia Town was only less than an hour, and after half past ten, Xu Rong began to guide Master Li, who was driving, to a gravel road that was becoming less and less crowded.

On both sides of the road are endless fields, and there is no edge to be seen, not even a single house, except for the narrow edge of the town with dense buildings looming in the distance.

Where have Lao Liu and Liu Shuping ever seen such a flat and dense field, they were amazed along the way, they have been digging in the soil with their backs to the loess all their lives, and so many fields are simply unimaginable in their eyes.

As the road grew wider and more populated, the town in the distance was clearly visible, and the scene in front of Santana became lively as it drove up an asphalt road along the dirt road.

"Master Li, keep moving forward, and then turn left at the fork in front—"

Following Xu Rong's voice, after driving for nearly ten minutes, the group saw that on the side of a relatively remote sandy road, there were two or one storey old and new houses standing messily all around.

Santana slowly stopped in front of a half-old two-story building, and before it could fully stop, Xu Rong pushed the car door and jumped out.

A couple standing in front of the door, who were about 50 years old, had noticed the car for a long time, thinking that it was a cadre and an outsider from somewhere, but unexpectedly the car stopped in front of their house.

Xu Hongping thought in his mind that this might be his future son-in-law coming to the door, grabbed his wife next to him, and before he could open his mouth, he saw that the car door was pushed open, and his daughter had already run out.

"Mom, Dad! I am back. ”

"Oops, Xu Rong is back!"

"Sister!"

"Second sister!"

Two young men who were close to one meter eight ran over excitedly when they saw Xu Rong, but they were Xu Rong's two younger brothers.

"Who is in their family?"

Xu Hongping had already received the letter, but he just answered, and was pulled by Xu Rong to walk over, and Liu Shuping also pulled Old Man Liu and Master Li, who was driving, to get out of the car and come over.

"Dad, this is Shuping, this is his father, this is Master Li."

“――”

After the group entered the door, Father Xu also secretly looked at Liu Shuping, although he was a little unhappy, but the young man in front of him was not tall, and he talked and behaved comfortably.

After a while, several groups of people had already come outside the door of the Xu family one after another, and they were all acquaintances from the neighborhood inside and out, and the news of the son-in-law of the Xu family coming to the door obviously left in disarray.

The fathers in the hometown held the teacup and talked for a long time, Liu Shuping listened to his old man apologize almost the whole time, and the old man of the Xu family was not very good at speaking, and Xu Rong's mother was always helping on the side.

Although the words were polite, Liu Shuping could hear that there were still complaints, and he glanced at Master Li who was like a piece of wood on the side, and immediately thought in his heart that if Master Li hadn't driven over today, I am afraid the result would have been worse.

"Xiaorong, you've found a boyfriend!"

“-”

"Xu Rong, why does that boy look shorter than you?"

"Auntie, we're about the same height!"

"Which one is his father?"

"The one sitting and drinking tea is Master Li who drove us."

"Yo!"

"Shhh Good people, and drivers to drive. ”

Xu Rong naturally didn't explain that Master Li was just a cameo driver who came to the door, and the Xu family's son-in-law drove to the door and became the talk of the Xu family's neighbors.

At this time, in the back room, the father of the Xu family and her two younger brothers talked to the father and son of the Liu family from time to time, but the next one stood one by one in front of the house and behind the house of the Xu family and the aunt-in-law, and everyone talked about the trivial matters at home.

"The Liu family's in-laws, our Xiaorong, this child has been obedient since he was a child, and if he marries so far away from your Yi'an, the family is not at ease!"

Old man Liu nodded in response, and the muscles on his face were a little stiff with a smile.

The Xu family had long known that the conditions in the future son-in-law's family were not very good, so they actually arranged for a few close members of the family to pick on the thorns in the morning, but the Santana in front of the door made them a little puzzled.

Naturally, some people suspect that the Liu family didn't know where to find a car to support the façade, although Xu Rong's tone was very tight, but there were still people who came out to pick thorns.

According to the customs of their side, the man's family will marry his daughter only if he has a house to give money, and Xu Rong's unmarried pregnancy has made the old couple of the Xu family feel a thorn in their hearts, but because of their bad face, they directly mention the bride price.

The two of them have saved countless procedures for getting pregnant before marriage, this is the first time they came to the door, and this is still the case, the Liu family father and son naturally have such preparations, but when the Liu family father and son did not speak, Master Li next to him put down the teacup and said it.

"Hahaha, this aunt is right, her daughter is married far away, and her parents are not at ease, you are a good place here, but I know the conditions in Master Liu's house, and the brand-new building has not been built for a few years.

The eldest son of the Liu family is a college student who graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University, and now lives in the city.

Not to mention the daughter and son-in-law of the old Liu family, who doesn't know that this first time I have not decided to marry two children and have a baby, we are responsible for this matter, we are in a hurry, we are not fully prepared and did not buy anything, and the old family should be considerate and considerate. ”

I saw that he opened his mouth and gestured to Liu Shuping, Liu Shuping knew what he meant when he saw this, took out a paper bag from his bag and walked to Xu Hongping.

"Uncle, I didn't do it right with Xu Rong, but I will definitely take good care of her in the future, this is a little bit of my heart, I hope you accept it."

Xu Hongping hesitated a little and then took the oil paper bag and put it on the table in front of him, the oil paper was not tightly wrapped, and it was spread out as soon as it was put on the table, faintly revealing a thick pile of old man's head.

Everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw this, and some even whispered it.

"I'm afraid there are more than 10,000!"

"It seems that Xu Rong has really found a good family!"

"This guy is good!"

If you want to say that Xu Hongping's heart is not shaken, it must be false, although the conditions of their family are not bad, but it is not easy to really get one or two thousand yuan like this, and it cost more than 10,000 yuan to build this building, which is still the family's savings for many years.

When the eldest daughter got married last year, the bride price was only 5,000 yuan, and some bride prices may not exceed 8,000 yuan, and the future second son-in-law may not be less than 5,000 yuan.

In his heart, he had faintly recognized the status of Liu Shuping's second son-in-law.

The driver of the car Master Li revealed a lot of information, the conditions of the in-laws in the future are very likely to be better than imagined, three sons and daughters, the two eldest must have already started a family, and the younger one can still come up with such a huge amount of money.

Obviously, it is not a poor middle peasant family, thinking of this, the trace of displeasure in my heart slowly dissipated a lot.

At the end of the conversation, Liu Shuping naturally didn't count how much money he had, and saw that his future father-in-law took the oil paper bag he sent and walked back, just when everyone thought he would sit down, they found that he actually took out two more red envelopes.

I saw him turn around and walk to Xu Rong's two younger brothers.

"This is a little bit of heart that your sister and I have given you."

The two brothers Xu Jiachuan and Xu Jiayou have already had a time when the eldest sister of the family got married last year, so naturally they will not be strangers, and the red envelope given by the eldest brother-in-law last year was full of five hundred, and when he saw that his wife did not object, he got up and took it.

The eldest Xu family heirloom was immediately opened, and the brand-new tickets were only afraid that there were thousands, and I couldn't help but be shocked, it seems that this future second brother-in-law really gave a heavy gift.

The actions of the brothers naturally couldn't hide from the mothers-in-law in the neighborhood behind them, and someone whispered in private at this time.

"The young man is so willing!"

"A thousand gifts for each of the brothers!"

"This bride price is a lot, it's almost 20,000!"

This heavy gift was made, everyone turned out in unison, and there was no longer an opinion, and Liu Shuping also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
