On July 1, the day after Zhang Xueru made a promise to Hao Min, it happened that Zhang Xueru's eldest daughter Jianping, her son-in-law, and her grandson's family came to the provincial capital for the summer vacation.

That night, Zhang Xueru's family, including his grandson, a total of six people, reunited for dinner in his own restaurant.

At the dinner table, after Zhang Xueru drank two glasses of wine, he used the strength of the wine to say the request Hao Min made to him last night in front of the whole family.

Zhang Xueru said: "Today is the day of our family reunion, and it is also the day to determine the auspiciousness of our Zhang family!" On this festive occasion, I would like to announce a great piece of good news to you! ”

After that, Zhang Xueru glanced at the family members gathered around the dinner table with a red face, and saw that everyone was concentrating on listening to him, so he fell on Liping's face and said happily:

"Yesterday, Hao Min came to me to send a message. He said that Mayor Wang's son Mengdu had already taken a fancy to Liping, and after this period of contact, he fell in love with Liping even more! However, because Dream is a shy young man, he has always been embarrassed to directly identify with Liping. Yesterday, Hao Min told me that Mengdu hoped that I could convey his meaning to Liping, and at the same time, I also hoped that Liping could be proactive so that the two of them could formalize their relationship! ”

"This-Mayor Wang's son likes Liping, and he is embarrassed to tell Liping?"

After listening to the old man's "good news", Zhang Xueru's wife asked strangely, and at the same time moved her eyes to Liping.

In fact, during this period of time, her thoughts are the same as Zhang Xueru's, seeing that Mengdu often comes to the house to talk to Liping alone, she thinks that the two of them have already determined their relationship!

"Yes, since Mengdu is deeply in love with Liping, he should tell Liping directly!"

At this time, Liping's sister Jianping also expressed her views along with her mother's words.

In fact, the relationship between Liping and Mengdu, or what kind of relationship Liping and Mengdu will develop, the Zhang family knows very well.

Therefore, when Zhang Xueru "announced" this "good news", the family did not feel strange.

However, after listening to her father's "announcement", Liping was so ashamed that her face was flushed and she was full of irritability.

She had just taken a mouthful of food in her mouth, and because she heard her father's "good news", she kept it in her mouth for a long time and was embarrassed to chew.

"Hmph, you don't understand this, do you? Who are the dreams? People are literate and cultivated people! ”

After listening to the words of his wife and eldest daughter, Zhang Xueru said with some flirtation and some joy:

"All cultured and cultivated people are more shy when they fall in love! Let's not talk about anything else, just from the fact that he is shy in his dreams, it is enough to prove that he is a rare good young man!

You see, he is handsome, mild-tempered, intelligent, and polite to people. When I saw our old couple, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were so sweet!

If a family like ours can marry Mayor Wang, it will be a high branch! It can be said that this is a great joy that our Zhangjia has burned high incense for thousands of years! ”

After Zhang Xueru said the call triumphantly, he raised the wine glass on the table and dried it with a sip.

"A happy event is a happy event. However, I think that since Mengdu has taken a fancy to Liping, he should express it to Liping in person. He and Liping's love affair is inappropriate, and Hao Min is the middleman to pass the word, right? ”

The eldest daughter, Jianping, expressed her opinion again.

As Liping's sister, she knows that her sister is very entangled in personal marital affairs.

From an emotional point of view, Liping's mind is still on the side of Li Gang, her childhood sweetheart;

However, because his father and Li Gang's father forcibly intervened, Li Gang has not been in contact with Liping for a long time, and clearly proposed to break off the relationship, and from then on he will be called "brother and sister".

This naturally stabbed Liping's heart greatly.

However, Liping is a sincere person, although she is sad, painful, and sad, she never lets go of Li Gang in her heart.

Liping always believes that if she falls in love with someone else, she will be sorry for Li Gang, who grew up together.

Because of this, Liping's personal events have formed an embarrassing situation where she can't go up and doesn't want to go down.

This kind of entanglement and trouble, Liping has confided in her sister many times, and also sought ways and solutions from her on how to solve the problem.

However, the flower of love needs to be watered by both men and women.

Regarding the "love" deadlock between her sister and Li Gang, it is impossible for her to be an older sister, so she also looked for Li Gang alone a few times to test whether there is any possibility of turning around between Li Gang and her sister.

But Li Gang's answer every time was negative, and his attitude was very firm, Jianping could only help.

And what about the Dream Capital? As my father just said, judging from the period of contact I have been in contact with so far, Mengdu does give people the impression of being gentle, civilized and polite, steady and easy-going.

What's more, Mengdu's father is the executive deputy mayor of the provincial capital, relying on Mengdu's family background, not only Liping was transferred from the provincial sports brigade to the municipal government office; Even his father was transferred from the grassroots station of the railway to the municipal government office in the provincial capital; also has the work of his husband and wife, and he has also been hired as a teacher in a county middle school from the original rural substitute teacher.

Judging from the existing facts, the Zhang family has already accounted for a lot of the Wang family!

If, if the relationship between Liping and Li Gang is indeed irretrievable, in the face of objective reality, if she can fall in love with Mengdu and become husband and wife, it will be a correct choice!

Of course, if Liping really wants to establish a romantic relationship with Mengdu, whether it is from the perspective of social common sense or from the perspective of getting along with husband and wife in the future, it is best to express it to the woman by the man himself!

It is precisely because of the above considerations that her sister Jianping proposed that Mengdu should take the initiative to express her love to her sister.

"Ahem, what you said is wrong!"

Zhang Xueru heard that his eldest daughter insisted that Mengdu express his admiration directly to Liping, and immediately shook his head and said:

"You don't know the relationship between Mengdu and Hao Min, what is the relationship between the two? In their own words, they call it 'liver and gall brothers'. You know? What do you mean by 'liver and gallbladder brothers'? It's a brother who can change liver and gall!

Mengdu asked Hao Min to convey his love for Liping, which can be seen as Mengdu himself expressing his pursuit to Liping. We should think about dreams from a different perspective. From what angle? It is to change ourselves to the position of the dream capital, if we are thin-skinned, who of us is embarrassed to express love to a girl in person?

It was because he was embarrassed that Mengdu asked Hao Min to convey his love for Liping!

You don't need to say any more, I see, this is the end of the matter, ah!

Pingping, I'll tell Hao Min tomorrow and let him tell Mengdu that you and Mengdu will be generous in their relationship and in love from tomorrow onwards! ”

Zhang Xueru saw that Liping had been muffling her head and not squeaking, so he decided to make a final decision.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Xueru's words fell, Liping shook her hand again and again in a panic:

"No, no! Cough, cough, cough! ”

While speaking, Liping's throat was choked by the rice, and she coughed a few times.

"Why not?"

My father's face tensed.

"Li Gang and I, already-"

Liping thought of her childhood sweetheart with Li Gang, remembered the two little guesses with Li Gang, remembered the joy of playing in the water with Li Gang on the bank of the Acacia River, and the deeply engraved feelings and love with Li Gang, and immediately closed her lips again.

"What's wrong with you, you and Li Gang?! Have you already ——? ”

Hearing his daughter's words without a beginning or an end, Zhang Xueru's eyes widened in horror.

He stood up with a "whirl", for fear that words of imvirginity would pop out of his daughter's mouth.

In recent years, although it has been many years of reform and opening up, in the eyes of many elderly people, or in the eyes of cadres, especially in high-ranking families like Mayor Wang, the virginity of girls is still very important!

The mother, eldest sister Jianping, and eldest brother-in-law also looked at Liping a little nervously, for fear of hearing some embarrassing words.

The little grandson didn't know what was going on, stared strangely at a pair of big eyes, looked left and right, and suddenly called out "Mom——! He threw himself into Jianping's arms.

"Li Gang, saved my life, I can't be ungrateful, I can't ......"

Liping saw that the family had misunderstood, and she stammered in a hurry.

Saved lives——?

Zhang Xueru let out a long breath, and his face softened significantly.

After a while, he said with a cold attitude: "Xiaoping, who stipulated that if you saved your life, you must marry the person who saved your life?" The Communist Party has saved the lives of women across the country, is it still ——? ”

Zhang Xueru suddenly found that this analogy was inappropriate, and immediately stopped.

He took a breath before he continued: "I told Li Gang a long time ago, and I also told his father that we will no longer be in-laws with his Li family, and Li Gang also promised me in person that I will never have anything to do with you again!" ”

"But, I—I promised him a long time ago!"

When Liping heard her father say what he said about interfering in her love with Li Gang, she felt no guilt, and the resentment in her heart suddenly hit her heart, and she suddenly mustered up the courage to say a word loudly to her father.

"Fuck you!"

Zhang Xueru saw that Liping actually dared to talk back to him, and the irritable and vulgar mistakes of the past were repeated again.

He angrily raised his palm and slapped it on the table, causing the soup on the table to splash out of the soup bowl.

"You said you promised him? Do you still have Lao Tzu in your eyes? Is there still this home? Is there still the happiness and future of so many of us? A little hillbilly in a ravine, why is he in love with you? What will he take to marry you? What good can he bring to our family, to so many of us?! ”

While getting angry, Zhang Xueru took out a photo from his pocket.

That was the last time Hao Min visited West Lake Park, taking advantage of the opportunity when Zhang Xueru almost tripped when crossing the bridge, he snatched a photo of "his daughter and son-in-law helping Lao Taishan to cross the bridge".

Zhang Xueru took the photo and dusted it a few times on his chest, pointed to the image of Mengdu on it and said:

"Mayor Wang's family wants power, power, money, and education; Mengdu is also to have good looks, to have culture, to have status, to be polite and polite.

Think about it, without the Wang family, can you be transferred to the provincial capital? Without the Wang family, can I be transferred to the city government? Can your sister and brother-in-law be transferred to the county middle school to teach? Also, there is the house we have now, if it weren't for the Wang family, would we be able to have this house in the provincial capital? ”

The more Zhang Xueru spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he spoke, the more angry he became.

He gasped for breath for a long time before he stood up angrily and said,

"In the past, the ancients said, **************! What age is it? Can we be ungrateful? Liping, I'll tell you today, your dad and I have already promised Mengdu!

The high-ranking families don't dislike us, so do we dare to play music with others?

Tell me, if you don't fall in love with Mengdu, where do you put my old face? How are you going to let us live in the future? Also, can we keep the house we live in now?

Do you still want us to go back to the small county? Do you want us to go back to being looked down upon by others, bullied by others, and living that kind of poor and poor life? ”

Zhang Xueru walked up to Liping with a snort and said loudly:

"Today, you have to make it clear to me, do you agree to fall in love with your dreams? You're still not letting our family live? ”

Zhang Xueru's scolding contained an analysis of the Zhang family's future life and prospects, as well as a severe rebuke to Liping, which immediately made the family dumbfounded and cold.

Liping was extremely sad, opened a pair of helpless eyes, looked at this, looked at that, and suddenly covered her face, "woo, woo" and cried.
