It turned out that Tong Jia's parents were both laid-off workers of a commercial company, and the family had always been in difficulty, and they still live in an old house of more than 50 square meters and a two-bedroom apartment built by a commercial company in the last century. Tong Jia went to high school and university, and she relied on her father to drive a long-distance bus from Wushui to the provincial capital, earning more than 2,000 yuan a month for her to complete her studies. Now, his father is over 50 years old and can no longer afford to drive long distances, so he wants to find an easier job. Although Tong Jia repeatedly persuaded him not to drive, she came to support them. However, her father knew that her salary was not high, only about 3,000 yuan a month, and she could only barely make ends meet to support a family of three, and she couldn't even afford Tong Jia's dowry at that time. Therefore, her father has been trying to find a new job to ease the burden on his daughter. At the same time, they hope that their daughter can find a boyfriend with a good family background and preferably a house and a car, so that the daughter will save a lot of pressure and troubles in life.

Therefore, they fell in love with Kuang Yong at a glance: He is a cadre of the Finance Bureau, and now he is the deputy head of the budget unit, and he is the department with the most oil and water, which not only has a future, but also has a lot of "money"; his family has three houses alone, and Kuang Yong has told them many times: As long as he is engaged to Tong Jia, his mother's old three-bedroom house in the traffic police force can be used by Tong Jia and her parents, and after marrying Tong Jia in the future, the new house will be bought.

And what impressed Tong Jia's father the most was that Kuang Yong had a good relationship with the leaders of the Finance Bureau. He promised Tong Jia's father: as long as Tong Jia was willing to marry him, he would find a way to arrange him to drive in the Finance Bureau. Although this is a temporary worker, the work is easy, the salary is relatively high, and he has been doing it for a long time, so he is more satisfied with Kuang Yong, and during this time, he keeps forcing Tong Jia: either agree to Kuang Yong and get married within three months, or bring them a boyfriend who is stronger than Kuang Yong back. Otherwise, they will have to go back to their hometown in the countryside and never see Tong Jia again......

After listening to Tong Jia's narration, Li Ying said apologetically: "Jiajia, I'm really sorry, I delayed you." I'll go with you tomorrow to visit your parents. However, if you meet a good boy, I suggest you get in touch with each other. I sincerely hope that you can be happy, and I hope that your parents will be happy and happy, and not always worry about your personal problems day and night. ”

Tong Jia raised his head, looked at him fixedly, and suddenly asked, "Xiaotian, you tell the truth: have you ever liked me in your heart?"

Li Ying nodded and said, "Of course." I told you that I did have the idea of marrying you at first. It's just that there are still a lot of emotional entanglements between me and Su Xiaodan and Lin Xue that can't be cleaned up, so I can't give you any promises, so I can only say sorry to you again. ”

Tong Jia's tears flowed involuntarily again, buried her head in Li Ying's chest, and said in a low voice: "Xiaotian, I am enough to have your words! I know you must have a burden in your heart, and I'm afraid you'll delay me. However, I really don't want to look for anyone else. I just want you to hold my hand, I just want you to hug me and kiss me, I don't want other men to touch, let alone get married to them...... Can you relate to my feelings?"

Li Ying nodded, only to feel that her eyes were also starting to moisten......

The next morning, Li Ying took a time to take out all the transfer fees in his passbook and the salary and bonuses of working in the Wangniza Jade Kingdom, totaling more than 800,000 yuan, and bought two three-bedroom and two-living houses in the "Fujin Home", and got the keys with a one-time payment. He didn't touch the million yuan on Lin Xue's card.

When he got off work in the afternoon, he went to the supermarket to buy a few large bags of gifts, then called Tong Jia, and the two of them walked into Tong Jia's house together.

Tong Jia's parents had heard Tong Jia say that they would bring their boyfriend to the house for dinner today, although they were very unhappy, but in order to save face for their daughter, they still made a hearty meal and waited at home.

When Li Ying walked into the house, Tong Jia's parents looked up and saw that the boy who was following their daughter was tall and handsome, and he looked as if he was only twenty-one or twelve years old.

In their opinion, most of the handsome boys like Li Ying are some red-painted toilets with gold and jade, or they are gangsters on the street, and they will not be promising men anyway. The reason why they have such a prejudice is because they have met the daughters of several friends, their own conditions are very good, they could have married an excellent man, but they were confused by some handsome boys who have no ability and foundation, regardless of the identity and status of the other party, regardless of the opposition of the family, and stubbornly must marry each other. As a result, after getting married, the man not only idles around and does not do his job, but also wants his wife to support himself, but also uses his appearance to mess with flowers and grass everywhere outside, and the final outcome is either divorce or torture in a reluctant......

Therefore, after his parents saw Li Ying's particularly handsome appearance at first glance, their faces showed worried looks. Especially when he saw that Li Ying seemed to be five or six years younger than his daughter, this concern was even stronger: this boy was very likely to be the kind of prodigal on the street who used his appearance to seduce girls from good families, otherwise, with his appearance, why would he find a girl so much older than himself? Even if he is not a prodigal, he may not have a good family background, or he does not have a good job, so he wants to find a girl with better conditions than himself......

In fact, Li Ying is just more than a year younger than Tong Jia. However, because he practiced Wuji Xiaoyaogong, he looked only about twenty years old. Moreover, they once saw Li Ying when Tong Jia committed suicide. It's just that because they were only worried about their daughter's departure at that time, they didn't have the heart to look at him carefully when expressing their gratitude to Li Ying, and five or six years had passed, so they had no impression of Li Ying at all.

Tong Jia saw that her parents only looked Li Ying up and down with a straight face, and even Li Ying affectionately called them "uncle and aunt", she was angry and anxious, turned around and took Li Ying's hand, walked into the house and sat down, and said with a straight face: "Dad, Mom, didn't you say that as long as I bring my boyfriend home and is stronger than Kuang Yong, you won't say anything about me anymore? Now that I brought my boyfriend over, and he is a hundred times stronger than Kuang Yong, why do you still have this face?"

Tong Jia's father is a man after all, he has been running around outside for many years, and he understands things better, and knows that his attitude towards the two of them just now is indeed a little wrong, so he nodded to Li Ying with a smile, as if he asked very casually: "Young man, where did you get rich this year?"

He deliberately used the word "Gui Geng", just to try to see if Li Ying was a person who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it. If he has no culture and is purely an idle gangster on the street, it is estimated that he will not understand the word "Gui Geng".

Li Ying smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Tong, I am twenty-six years old this year, and I am run by the county party committee. ”

Tong Jia's father was taken aback: first, he was surprised by the age he reported, and second, he didn't expect that he would be run by the county party committee. So, he asked: "What kind of work is you responsible for in the county party committee office now? Is it a secretary or an administrator?"

In his opinion, at Li Ying's age, he should not have worked for a long time, so at most he is just a clerk or clerk. He had worked in a commercial company for many years and still had a certain understanding of the executive level.

Tong Jia was afraid that Li Ying would be embarrassed to report his official position, so he preemptively said: "Dad, he is now the deputy director of the county party committee office and the director of the investment promotion bureau, and he was just promoted yesterday." ”

"What?"

Tong Jia's father and mother were so surprised that their mouths opened wide, you look at me, I look at you, with an expression of disbelief on their faces.

Tong Jia was so surprised when she saw her parents so surprised, and she was amused, so she grabbed Li Ying's arm tightly and said with a happy face: "Dad, Mom, if you don't believe it, you can go to the county party committee office now to see the public notice posted outside." His name is Li Ying, and he is a demobilized cadre from the deputy battalion of the army, who has been working in the county party committee office for eight months, and because of his outstanding ability and special contributions to attracting investment, he was exceptionally promoted. ”

Tong Jia's father reacted first, grabbed it with an arrow step, held Li Ying's hand tightly, and said a little excitedly: "Director Li, I'm sorry, just now Jiajia and her mother were a little rude, how sloppy, forgive me!"

Tong Jia's mother's face immediately turned from cloudy to clear, and she said to Li Ying enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, Director Li, come and sit at the table first, and prepare to eat." Jiajia, does Director Li drink alcohol?"

Tong Jia smiled and said, "Mom, you have to tell me first: Is Li Ying stronger than Kuang Yong? Otherwise, I don't dare to let him serve on the table, for fear that you and Dad will show us the face." ”

Her mother smiled and glanced at her, and said angrily: "Jiajia, are you still kicking your nose in the face?" Come and sit down, don't let Director Li always stand." ”

During the meal, Li Ying chatted with Tong Jia's father, and learned that he had been driving all the time, and now he was looking for a job everywhere, and suddenly remembered that the minibus run by the county party committee was not driven by a special master now, and Song Nianyao had discussed with himself to temporarily hire a temporary worker outside, so he said to him: "Uncle Tong, our county party committee office is now short of a minibus driver, and we are ready to hire a skilled master from outside." This job is quite easy, and the salary is also paid according to the career establishment standard, I wonder if you want to apply?"

Tong Jia's father's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly, "Of course I want to go." What an honorable thing it is to be able to drive to the county party committee office and serve the county leaders! Director Li, can you do this as the master?"
