Chapter 495: Return Gift
In a small supermarket on the street, Xu Jingyi and Pan Jun sat opposite each other, drinking chrysanthemum tea and chatting.
"Brother Pan, your navy should often go abroad, right?"
"Sort of!"
"Which countries have you been to?"
Xu Jingyi said curiously.
"I've basically been to Kangaroo Country, South Asia, Philippines, and Europe, but our main job is to escort ships, and most of them are just docked for supplies, and rarely go ashore."
"Isn't it chaotic abroad?"
Pan Jun took a sip of water: "The first two years were indeed a bit chaotic, but the past two years have been much better, and foreign countries are not as exaggerated as everyone imagined, and they are generally calm." ”
Pan Jun didn't say the specific reason, but Xu Jingyi could probably guess that it was nothing more than that the population was almost consumed and a certain balance had been reached.
"What's life like abroad? Isn't it miserable? ”
"This should be treated differently, Europe is similar to us, food and clothing are basically no problem;
Philippines and South Asia are more miserable, they have always lived a miserable life, and there will be famine from time to time, and a large number of beggars can often be seen in the port;
The Kangaroo Country is not having a good time, the refugee problem on their side is very serious, many people simply choose to emigrate abroad, in my estimation, the rest of the people are estimated to not last long. ”
"What about the beautiful country? Have you ever been? ”
Pan Jun shook his head: "No, there are few islands in the Pacific Ocean, and there are few pirates, so there is basically no need for escort." And the most important thing is that the west coast of the beautiful country is almost deserted, and there is not much trade at all. ”
"Can you go to the East Coast?"
"I can't go, the Panama Canal has long been blocked, it can't be navigated at all, and I have to make a detour to South America. In that case, it would be better to go west on the Atlantic route, or the Arctic route. ”
"Arctic routes?"
"The Arctic route is only open in the summer, and the whole year adds up to less than four months, and most of the time it still takes the Atlantic route."
"Brother Pan, you know so much!"
Xu Jingyi praised it.
Pan Jun said modestly: "It's nothing, what I'm talking about is some common sense, as long as you go around abroad, you will know everything." ”
"I don't dare to go abroad, if my parents knew, they would have to peel my skin."
Xu Jingyi playfully stuck out her tongue.
Pan Jun didn't expect the other party to have such a cute side, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"Ahem......"
Xu Jingyi's face turned red, and she fanned the wind desperately with her palm.
Pan Jun finally reacted, and hurriedly drank a saliva as a cover-up, "Jingyi, if you want to go abroad to see, it's better to wait another year or two, and when Southeast Asia stabilizes, I'll take you there for a tour." ”
With the signing of the Mutual Treaty, it is believed that it will not be long before the entire Southeast Asian region will quickly stabilize and go abroad will basically be equivalent to leaving the state.
"Okay!" Xu Jingyi agreed with a smile.
Pan Jun's confidence increased greatly when he heard this, the meaning of this sentence was very obvious, the other party also had a good impression of him, at least he did not reject it.
The two chatted for more than an hour, until Xu's mother called and asked them to go back to dinner.
Back in the courtyard, the two of them just entered the door.
Tan Aifang hurriedly pulled her daughter into the bedroom, Wang Xiujuan and Yang Lina were also there, it seemed that the three of them were going to have a "three-class trial".
Wang Xiujuan got straight to the point and said: "Jingyi, that Pan Jun, have you fallen in love?" ”
"Grandma Wang, how could you ask that, it's too direct, right?" Xu Jingyi said shyly.
"Aunt Wang, sister-in-law, it seems that Jingyi must have taken a fancy to it, the young man is really good, although the black is a little darker, but he is tall and handsome, and his personality looks good."
Tan Aifang sighed: "It's just that the work is not very good, if you get married, you won't be able to see each other a few times a year." ”
"Ai Fang, this matter is not as bad as you think, Pan Jun is now a lieutenant, and when he is promoted to a school officer, there will be more holidays at that time, and maybe he can apply to stay in Hong Kong!"
Yang Lina helped persuade: "Yes, young people should focus on their careers, there is no need to stay together every day, there is a saying that doesn't say so, Xiao Beisheng is newly married." ”
"Auntie, what are you talking about?"
Xu Jingyi said coquettishly.
Tan Aifang stared at her daughter's eyes and asked:
"Jingyi, tell your mother honestly, do you want to have a relationship with that Pan Jun?"
"Mom, Brother Pan is fine."
Wang Xiujuan patted her thigh: "That's right, since the two children have a good impression of each other, let's let them stay for a while before taking a look!" ”
"Jingyi, do you have to think about it?"
Tan Aifang wanted to confirm her daughter's thoughts.
Xu Jingyi nodded.
"Well, you're not a child anymore, your dad and I don't object to you dating, you just have to make up your own mind!"
Tan Aifang took her daughter's hand and said.
"Thank you, Mom!"
"Silly child, say thank you to your mother, as long as you can be happy, your parents are willing to do anything."
"Mom......"
Tan Aifang waved her hand: "Okay, your grandma is calling, let's go over for dinner!" ”
Soon, the restaurant was full.
Xu Jingyi and Pan Jun were arranged to sit together.
Because there are outsiders, in order to keep a low profile, although the lunch is also very rich, but compared with usual, there is still a big gap.
There is only one meat dish, a large bowl full of steamed salted fish, and the others are vegetarian dishes, including scrambled eggs with leeks, garlic lettuce, dry pot cabbage, fried beans, braised eggplant, glutinous rice balls, tomatoes mixed with sugar, and fried peanuts.
Finally, there is a pot of seaweed and dried shrimp egg drop soup.
There are not many dried shrimps, so they are not considered meat dishes.
Pan Jun is generally calm, the navy often goes abroad, there are many opportunities to fight tooth sacrifices, and he has eaten a lot of big lobsters with long arms.
Pan Ying can't do it, the little girl smells the aroma of the food, and her throat can't stop surging up and down, it's really too gluttonous.
Mother Xu hurriedly greeted: "Pan Jun, Pan Ying, hurry up and move the chopsticks, just like at home, don't be polite." ”
After Xu Ma finished speaking, she helped the two of them each clip a piece of salted fish.
"Thank you, Grandma!"
The brother and sister hurriedly thanked them.
Gu Qian was very soon, and the atmosphere at the dinner table began to liven up, and Pan Jun took the opportunity to tell some overseas anecdotes, which caused everyone to exclaim again and again.
At the scene, Xu Bin was the only one drinking stuffy wine, and his daughter who had been raised for 22 years was going to be cheap outsiders, and he could only have a ghost if he could be happy.
If it weren't for the fact that the young man was too good to find any obvious shortcomings, he would have to make a fuss.
Xu Dong picked up the wine glass and touched it with his eldest brother, and persuaded in a low voice:
"Boss, look away!"
"That's a good point, when Coco and Lele get to that day, I want to see if you're really that open-minded?"
Xu Bin didn't have a good airway.
"Ahem, okay, when Jingyi gets married, I'll help her buy a wedding house, and I'll buy it next to the daily newspaper, so that you can meet every day."
"Really?" Xu Bin suddenly became excited.
"The company's recent benefits are good, don't worry!"
Xu Dong said generously.
The situation in Hancheng is very good, and all the cheap apartments have been rented out, with a rent of more than 20 million yuan per month, and in a few years, there will be a huge amount of income in the account.
In comparison, giving a wedding room to a big niece is really just a drizzle.
"Third child, thank you."
Xu Bin took the initiative to toast a glass of wine.
The third child wants to give a wedding house here, plus the house promised by his father, so that their family has two houses, which is enough for this life.
"What's polite with me!"
Xu Dong picked up the wine glass and touched it with the other party.
At the same time, a few children were eating in the living room, and the mother did not let them serve the table when there were guests at home, so the little ones could watch TV while eating.
Dabao asked his grandmother to help with a large bowl of dishes, and then returned to the living room with the rice bowl.
"Niu Niu, give you the food."
Dabao divided half of the dishes in the bowl and gave them to Niuniu.
There were guests at home today, and Mama Xu persuaded Niuniu's mother to let Niuniu stay.
"Thank you, Brother Dabao."
Niu Niu squinted her eyes, and her little face was full of smiles.
Dabao has a brother's style: "Niuniu, you can eat as much as you want, and I'll get it after eating." ”
Lele couldn't see Dabao's appearance as a little warm man, so he directly reached out and pinched the other party's cheeks, and at the same time did not forget to joke:
"The second sister also wants to eat, why don't you give a little to the second sister?"
"If I don't let go, I'm going to be angry!"
Dabao puffed up.
Erbao and Xiaobao looked at the eldest brother at the same time.
Niuniu hurriedly put down the bowl, stepped forward to grab Lele's arm, and pleaded with a pleading face:
"Sister Lele, don't bully Brother Dabao, okay?"
"Poof!"
Lele glanced at Niuniu, then at the eldest brother, and couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, for your little daughter-in-law's sake, I'll let you go today."
Niu Niu shyly hid behind Dabao.
Dabao glared at the second sister, and then pulled Niuniu to sit aside and continue eating.
There was a guest at home today, and his mother told him early in the morning not to quarrel with his second sister, and he wanted to set a good example for his younger brothers.
After the meal, Yang Lina brought out a plate of watermelon.
"Pan Jun, Pan Ying, eat watermelon!"
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Pan Ying couldn't eat a piece of watermelon, it was too supportive, so she could only stare at the dried watermelon.
After resting for half an hour, Xu Bin and his wife wanted to go back to continue opening the store, and by the way, they also brought a meal to Tan Bangxiang.
Pan Jun asked Xu Jingyi to watch a movie together.
As for Pan Ying, of course she wouldn't follow as a light bulb, so she went home directly under the pretext of going back to school.
Pan's mother is still waiting at home!
……
"Mom, Dad, I'm back."
Pan's mother opened the door and asked directly, "What's going on, what about your brother?" ”
"My brother went to watch a movie with my future sister-in-law."
"So, it's done?"
Pan's mother was overjoyed.
Pan Ying nodded: "My brother is so handsome, do you still need to ask!" ”
"Oh, now your dad and I can finally rest assured."
Father Pan interjected, "How is their family?" ”
"It's all good, it looks very kind."
"That's good, I'm afraid of meeting that kind of unreasonable people." Pan's mother rejoiced.
Pan Ying handed the bag in her hand to her mother: "Mom, this is a return gift from their family." ”
"You are really ignorant, how can there be a reason for the man to come to the door and take back the gift?" Pan's mother complained.
"I don't want to accept it either, my sister-in-law and her grandmother forced it to me." Pan Ying explained.
"Okay, we've collected everything, let's double it back next time."
Pan's father helped persuade.
