Chapter 2 Chinese Parents, Chinese Blind Date

Shen Zhenghui's parents are from Sichuan, in the eighties at the call of Comrade Xiaoping came to Pengcheng, an immigrant city, after more than ten years of hard work, the two of them finally entered the threshold of a city's senior successful people, looking back, originally thought that the son who was still in his hometown with his grandparents was actually going to enter college. The two came back to their senses and wanted to take their son to Pengcheng to enter the best school, but the son was impatient with them to do so, and took the college entrance examination in the county high school of his hometown, and finally was admitted to the highest university in China. This matter has become the most proud thing for Shen Zhenghui's father and mother.

The husband and wife have another layer of worry after their son goes to college, because they are busy with their careers for a long time and neglect to care about their children, the two husbands and wives are always worried that their sons are not close to them, Shen Zhenghui's two holidays, the summer vacation generally stays in Pingjing to tinker with his own career, and after going to Pengcheng to accompany his parents during the winter vacation, he will go back to accompany his grandparents, Shen Xingguo and Liang Kexiu have always had this kind of worry and guilt, so they were extraordinarily generous when they gave living expenses, but when the children were about to graduate, they were stunned to find out, The child completed the accumulation of his husband and wife for ten years in four years of college, and the two couples were speechless and worried, and the panic in their hearts rose to a dangerous level. So when Shen Zhenghui was faced with the choice of graduation, Shen Xingguo and Liang Kexiu used an extremely tough attitude to ask him to go back to Pengcheng to help his parents.

Fortunately, Shen Zhenghui didn't really want to stay in Pingjing, and his parents' attitude became his own excuse, so after graduation, he flew back to "home" directly. I've never been back so happy in four years of college.

Shen Xingguo was engaged in the construction industry in his early years, leading his fellow villagers to contract projects as a contractor, Liang Kexiu was his finance and logistics, the construction industry made a lot of money but it was difficult to collect money, his own capital was not strong, once Party A was stuck and did not give money, the capital chain was broken, the boss above could not find it, the migrant workers below wanted to eat, and the creditors came from all directions - Shen Xingguo also experienced this kind of life is worse than death and is being collected for debts every day.

So after accumulating a little bit of family foundation, the two jumped out of the construction industry, changed to business and sold small commodities, looking for orders to buy goods everywhere, the domestic market is not good, so they do foreign markets, specializing in selling Chinese goods to Americans, Europeans, Arabs and African blacks, catching up with the country's encouragement of exports, a few years, two people have made a reputation to make a brand, with a fixed customer annual export tax rebate of tens of millions. At this time, their son was about to go to college, and the two of them were shocked to find that they had spent so much energy on their careers that they had hardly cared about their only son.

The two of them began to worry about the low quality of teaching in their hometown, and they wanted to transfer Shen Zhenghui to Pengcheng to study in the third year of high school when they went home during the Chinese New Year, under the pretext of using Pengcheng's excellent teaching resources to surprise them, and the two of them just showed this tone, and the next day Shen Zhenghui's homeroom teacher brought a large number of teachers to block the door.

The head teacher's mouth turned over and over is the problem of adapting to the unfamiliar environment, the local teacher is very concerned about Shen Zhenghui's classmates, and his attitude is very simple, Shen Zhenghui is very hopeful of being admitted to a famous university in China, everyone's bonus is counting on him, if you want to go, it is absolutely impossible. Only then did the two husbands and wives know how good their son was in this small county, and in the end, even the deputy county magistrate in charge of education had to block the door. Shen Xingguo and Liang Kexiu were reprimanded by their parents again, and the people in the small place were complaining about their own plans and had to go back to Pengcheng stupidly, and when Shen Zhenghui's college entrance examination results came out, Shen Xingguo immediately publicized his son's achievements in his circle, especially emphasizing that his hometown is a poor and backward area, and Shen Zhenghui was admitted to a famous university This kind of thing has not been done in the local area for more than 20 years.

While the vanity of the two men was compensated in another way, they were soon disturbed again by the circumstances of their son. The pocket money they generously paid eventually turned into an investment, and from 93 to 97 years in the stock market, he turned heads upward, and by the time Shen Zhenghui graduated, he was already a young man with assets of 50 million.

If this continues, Shen Xingguo and Liang Kexiu don't expect to be tough in front of their son in the future, so the two of them let Shen Zhenghui come back under the pretext of letting Shen Zhenghui take over the company, but after Shen Zhenghui comes back, let's not talk about the operation of the company or anything, according to Liang Kexiu, solve the personal problem first.

Shen Xingguo and Liang Kexiu began to look for a suitable partner for Shen Zhenghui in their own circles. probably felt that deciding on the marriage of their children would help establish the authority of their parents, Shen Xingguo and Liang Kexiu were extremely attentive to this matter, and even the company's affairs were put in second place.

……

"I said, Mom, is there such an exaggeration, I've only been back for a month, and you've already arranged four blind dates, are you very idle? With the financial crisis in Southeast Asia so severe, why don't you take a little more time to think about your business? ”

"What's the crisis, what's that about you?" Liang Kexiu began to babble, "I was already pregnant with you when I was your age, and I didn't let you fall in love before because you were still young, and now that you have graduated from college, we have to worry about it, not to mention that you didn't bring back a female classmate in college, how can we not worry about it?" ”

"First, I went to the physics department, and there were very few female students in the department, and the grass on the edge of the nest had already been gnawed by others; second, who taught me not to fall in love in college, and it is inevitable that they will be separated when they come out in the future; Third ......"

"Okay, okay," Liang Kexiu was unhappy, "I haven't seen you so obedient at other times." ”

"When did I become disobedient?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically.

Liang Kexiu opened her mouth and stammered, you can't say that you don't come to accompany your grandparents on holidays, right? Even if Shen Zhenghui stays in Pengcheng, Shen Xingguo and Liang Kexiu and his wife may not have time to be with him for a day.

The two of them sat bored in this coffee shop for a few minutes, and then saw Shen Xingguo walking in sweating profusely, and when he saw his wife and son, he was quite surprised, "Haven't Lao Liu and her daughter arrived yet?" ”

"It's not there yet," Liang Kexiu responded to her husband angrily, "After we all sat for half an hour, where did you go?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Shen Xingguo sat down with a smile, called the waiter over and started ordering, "Lao Chen, who has been doing Hong Kong trade, has a batch of goods in his hand, and he wants to transfer it to me, and we have been talking about this matter." ”

Shen Zhenghui pricked up his ears, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia have been hit one after another, a financial crisis has spread in Southeast Asia, and it is only a matter of time before it spreads to East Asia, and at present, the Chinese people are still immersed in the excitement of Hong Kong's return.

Shen Xingguo sat down and chatted with his wife about business matters, and then felt that he had nothing to say, in the face of his son, he really had no topic, Liang Kexiu could still nag about some trivial matters, Shen Xingguo felt that there was no common topic at all when talking to his son, and he was hit as soon as he talked about his career and economic problems. Although he is worth hundreds of millions, his liquidity is not as much as his son, which is really a failure.

Fortunately, someone soon came to resolve the embarrassment of the family of three, Liu Dekai and Boss Liu walked into the café with his wife Shang Rongmei, and after seeing Shen Xingguo's family, he hurriedly came over and apologized, "I'm sorry to be late!" ”

"It's okay, we've just arrived!" Shen Xingguo took the whole family to stand up and shake hands one by one, Liang Kexiu and Shang Rongmei were old sisters, and the two of them sat together and began to mumble.

After sitting down, Liu Dekai began to complain, business is not good, Party A always drags money and does not give it, and the people below spend money without thinking about the boss, and they are lavish. Shen Xingguo listened to the boss's complaints on the side, feeling very funny.

Liu Dekai is nearly 50 years old and has fat weight. His wife is in her forties, but she is well maintained, and at first glance she looks a little like his daughter. Liu Dekai and Shen Xingguo engaged in construction together in the early years, after Shen Xingguo quit, he still stayed in the construction industry, and now his construction company is one of the top construction companies in Pengcheng, and there are countless construction teams affiliated to him, he is complaining that business is difficult to do, and those small companies have long since died?

However, Liu Dekai's complaints resonated with Shen Xingguo, and the two of them jointly denounced the government's corruption, incompetence and dishonesty.

Liang Kexiu asked about Shang Rongmei's daughter on the side, and asked her when her daughter Liu Xin would come over.

Shang Rongmei looked very embarrassed by this question, and glanced at Liu Dekai with her eyes.

Liu Dekai touched his smooth forehead, "Hey, don't say it," he sighed, "Brother Shen, I can't compare to you, look at your son is so young and promising, and he is from the highest university in China, and his future is limitless, my daughter, who doesn't understand anything for a day, knows how to spend money, let her do business, she spends money to invest in some inexplicable places, ...... today" He sighed, "Anyway, you will bear with me later," he looked at Shen Zhenghui, his eyes were full of envy, " Anyway, you young people, get to know each other, make friends, we are parents, and we don't put any pressure on us, it's already a modern society, free love, not a feudal society. ”

Liang Kexiu was puzzled when she heard this, pulled Shang Rongmei's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" It's not the same as before, huh? ”

"Sister-in-law, I'm really embarrassed." Shang Rongmei was also embarrassed.

At this time, the door of the coffee shop was opened again, and a young girl walked in, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Shen Zhenghui glanced at it, and almost didn't spit out the innermost coffee immediately.

The attraction is not her looks, at least not first of all, but her dress, she wears a white crewneck shirt, a teal knee-length dress, black stockings and white canvas shoes, a red ribbon tied at the collar of her shirt, and most importantly she dyes her hair blue.

This outfit turned back even when it was walking on the streets in 2012, let alone in 1997.

As soon as she walked in, Liu Dekai began to wipe her sweat, and Shang Rongmei covered her face, as if she was embarrassed. The girl named Liu Xin had already seen her parents, so Shi Shiran walked over, sat down next to her mother, looked at Shen Zhenghui, who seemed to be in a daze, and asked in an unceremonious tone, "You are my blind date?" ”
