Fan Shengmei couldn't help but be jealous of Qiu Yingying.

In the next few days, Fan Shengmei deliberately avoided Qiu Yingying.

When she saw Qiu Yingying and Fan Shengmei, she was upset and simply avoided it.

Qiu Yingying was a careless girl, she didn't notice Fan Shengmei's abnormality, and asked Fan Shengmei to eat together, but Fan Shengmei refused under the pretext of something.

Fan Shengmei met a few more blind dates.

But it's not very good, even Zhou Qiang can't compare to Zhou Qiang without a house, and Fan Shengmei is in a worse mood.

The Spring Festival is coming soon.

Qiu Yingying is ready to buy a ticket back to Salt City.

"No need to buy a ticket, I'll drive you." Zhou Qiang said.

"Really?" Qiu Yingying looked surprised.

"Of course it's true, I can visit your house when I get to Salt City." Zhou Qiang didn't think it was difficult to meet his parents.

"To my house?" Qiu Yingying was a little surprised.

Qiu Yingying hadn't thought about taking Zhou Qiang to meet her parents.

"Yes." Zhou Qiang nodded and looked at Qiu Yingying seriously.

Zhou Qiang plans to marry Qiu Yingying, not for fun.

"Then I. . . Tell my dad about it." Qiu Yingying hurriedly called Qiu's father.

Qiu Yingying looked for her father if she had something.

It can be seen that Qiu's father loves Qiu Yingying very much.

"Dad, Brother Qiang will drive me home in a few days."

"Driving you? Then let him come to the house." Qiu's father still wants to meet Zhou Qiang.

"Brother Qiang also said to visit our house."

"Alright, alright, when are you leaving?"

"I'll call you in three days."

"Okay, let your mom buy more food in advance."

"I want to eat prawns" Qiu Yingying said a few dishes she liked to eat, and hung up the phone, "Brother Qiang, how about we leave in three days?"

"Okay, go buy some magic capital specialties today, I don't know what your parents like?"

"I like it." Qiu Yingying thought about it, and she didn't know what her parents liked.

"Then buy something that everyone will love." Zhou Qiang means to buy expensive things.

"Okay, let's go together." Qiu Yingying didn't realize it.

Mall.

A place that sells famous cigarettes and liquor.

"Yingying, your dad smokes, right?"

"I don't smoke much once in a while."

"Have a drink too?"

"Drink, my dad loves to drink, and often drinks alone at home."

"Then buy some cigarettes and alcohol first."

The two walked into the store.

A waiter came over and said, "Hello two."

"Let's buy a few cigarettes and a few bottles of wine, you can recommend them." Zhou Qiang looked around.

"Do you want domestic tobacco or alcohol?"

"Everything."

"Yes, sir, ma'am, please, here's a good cigarette, it's."

When the waiter introduced the cigarettes, Qiu Yingying looked at the price tag.

Dumbfounded, Qiu Yingying felt that it was too expensive.

"Brother Qiang." Qiu Yingying walked up to Zhou Qiang and whispered, "The cigarettes here are too expensive, so don't buy them."

"It's okay, brother is not short of money." Zhou Qiang smiled slightly.

Zhou Qiang is rich.

In addition to the money made by the bun shop, Zhou Qiang also invested some money in ugly stocks.

Now that a long time has passed, Zhou Qiang's net worth has reached tens of millions of ugly yuan.

This is also why Zhou Qiang did not seriously make money from ugly stocks.

If you work hard, you will already have hundreds of millions of ugly yuan.

Qiu Yingying couldn't persuade Zhou Qiang, so she could only watch with a blank eye as Zhou Qiang spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy tobacco and alcohol.

After leaving the smoke hotel, Qiu Yingying still couldn't help but say, "Brother Qiang, these cigarettes and alcohol are too expensive. In fact, just buy a few bottles of 20-year-old Fenjiu and a few Huazi."

"Your dad also likes to drink Fenjiu? Then buy some more Fenjiu." Zhou Qiang turned around and walked towards the Smoke Hotel again.

"Brother Qiang, have you returned these cigarettes and alcohol?" Qiu Yingying hurriedly said.

"No need to retreat."

"It's better to get back, it's too expensive."

"It's okay, I always have to bring something good with me when I go to your house for the first time." Zhou Qiang did not listen to the persuasion and bought six bottles of 30-year-old Fenjiu in the tobacco hotel.

There were too many things, so Zhou Qiang stored tobacco and alcohol in the tobacco hotel.

"Yingying, let's go, go upstairs for a stroll around the women's clothing." Zhou Qiang greeted.

"Okay." Qiu Yingying hugged Zhou Qiang's arm, "What else do you want to buy?"

When the two went shopping together, Qiu Yingying liked to hold Zhou Qiang's arm.

"I bought alcohol and cigarettes for your father, and I also bought some gifts for your mother."

"Oh, what to buy for my mom?"

"Let's go see a scarf first, shall we?"

"Okay."

"I'll buy you one too?"

"No, I have a scarf."

"No, you don't have the scarf I sent." Zhou Qiang stared at Qiu Yingying and said softly.

This sentence made Qiu Yingying very happy, "Brother Qiang, then I will also give you a scarf, and you don't have the scarf I sent."

"Okay." The two took the escalator upstairs.

chose three scarves, one for Qiu Ma, one for Qiu Yingying, and one for Zhou Qiang.

"Yingying, do you know the size of your mother's clothes?"

"Yes, that is"

"Okay, let's go to the store and buy your mom a coat."

"Mm-hmm, my mom likes red, buy her a red coat."

Come in and pick it up.

Qiu Yingying picked out a more fashionable red coat, "Brother Qiang, what do you think?"

"It's good. This cardigan next to it is also good, it goes well with the jacket, so I can buy it too."

"No need, right?" Qiu Yingying looked at the price tag and felt that it was a bit expensive.

"It's okay, buy it."

Zhou Qiang swiped the card to pay the bill.

Scarves, coats, woolen sweaters, Qiu's mother's gifts are considered to have been bought.

Passing by a young women's clothing store, Zhou Qiang stopped, "Yingying, can I buy you a few new clothes too?"

"No, I just bought a few pieces last month."

"I think that dress is good, let's go, try it." Zhou Qiang took Qiu Yingying into the store.

Qiu Yingying tried on a few coats.

"This one is good, and this one, I bought both." Zhou Qiang waved his hand.

"Just buy one." Qiu Yingying hurriedly said.

"I've bought them all, and you can wear them instead." Zhou Qiang swiped his card and bought it.

Get out of the store.

"Brother Qiang, I haven't bought you clothes yet, I'm going to buy you a few clothes." Qiu Yingying took Zhou Qiang to the men's clothing store.

After entering the store, Qiu Yingying also emphasized, "I will pay."

"Okay." Zhou Qiang did not refuse, picked out a few clothes that were not too expensive, and asked Qiu Yingying to pay the bill.

Back to the bun shop.

"It's almost the New Year, our bun shop is also on holiday for the New Year."

Zhou Qiang's steamed bun shop has a holiday for five days before the year and opens ten days after the year.

The holiday time is not short.

And the salary is not less, as usual, this is also a paid holiday.

After arranging the others, Zhou Qiang left Zhang Sheng, Liu Xiaolong, and Liu Xiaohu alone.

"It's the New Year, give each of you a big red envelope, say hello to your parents, and brothers and sisters for me, and be happy during the New Year." Zhou Qiang said a few words

"Thank you, Brother Qiang." The three happily accepted the red envelope.

Liu Xiaohu also opened it and looked at it, "So many? Ten thousand!"

Liu Xiaolong patted Liu Xiaohu on the shoulder and signaled Liu Xiaohu not to be funny.

Zhou Qiang smiled and didn't care.

"Brother Qiang." Zhang Sheng hesitated and asked, "Where are you going for the Chinese New Year?"

Zhang Sheng knew that Zhou Qiang was 'lonely', and his relatives had not been in touch for many years.

Zhang Sheng thinks:

If Zhou Qiang celebrates the New Year alone, he will ask Zhou Qiang to go home together.

"Go to Salt City, I'll send Yingying back."

"Huh? This is going to meet the parents?" Liu Xiaohu is funny again.

"Sort of, send Yingying back, and pay a visit by the way."

"The Chinese New Year is also in Salt City?" Zhang Sheng asked more.

"Yes, it should be at Yingying's house for the New Year." Zhou Qiang planned to eat Chinese New Year's Eve at Qiu Yingying's house.

Three days later.

Zhou Qiang picked up Qiu Yingying downstairs at Ode to Joy No. 19.

Zhou Qiang didn't live in Ode to Joy.

The house I bought is still being renovated and I can't live in it yet.

"Yingying, have you packed your things?"

"Alright."

"Then get in the car, let's go."

"Okay."

Zhou Qiang and Qiu Yingying drove away.

In a corner, Fan Shengmei walked out.

"I thought it was a big boss, so I drove a broken car worth more than 100,000 yuan." Fan Shengmei said with disdain, but her tone was a little sour.

Upstairs 2303 renovated house, Fan Shengmei secretly went up to take a look.

Fan Shengmei is very envious and hopes to have such a house.

But the housing price is too high, and Fan Shengmei can't afford it all her life.

Fan Shengmei can only count on men.

But the men who have been on a blind date recently, one is worse than the other.

Fan Shengmei is old, and the quality of the men who go on a blind date with her has dropped a lot.

In the car.

"Hey, Dad, Brother Qiang and I set off. Yes, now go to the highway in the car." Qiu Yingying told her father.

Hanging up the phone, Qiu Yingying asked, "Brother Qiang, let's go to Yanshi, are you passing by Nantong?"

"Yes."

"It's a pity that we left early, if it's a few days late, we can still pull Sister Fan up." Qiu Yingying is still thinking about Fan Shengmei.

Zhou Qiang's steamed bun shop closed early, and Qiu Yingying went home a few days early.

"Don't you have a boyfriend yet?"

"No, Sister Fan is beautiful and doesn't look ordinary."

"Yingying, what's there to do in Salt City?" Zhou Qiang was not interested in Fan Shengmei and didn't want to talk more.

"There are so many fun places, let's go then."

Talk about it.

On the high speed.

Zhou Qiang overtook all the way, and in about three hours, he arrived in Yanshi.

"Brother Qiang, turn right ahead," Qiu Yingying pointed out.

Not for a while.

arrived at Qiu Yingying's community.

It's an old neighborhood with no elevator and no underground parking.

Find a suitable place to park.

"Yingying? Coming back?" Someone saw Qiu Yingying.

Qiu Yingying grew up in this community and knows a lot of people.

"Aunt Zhang, go out to buy groceries." Qiu Yingying greeted.

Aunt Zhang nodded, staring at Zhou Qiang who got out of the car, "Yingying, this is a boyfriend, right?"

"Yes." Qiu Yingying was a little embarrassed.

"What's it called? The young man is very energetic." Aunt Zhang is a bit of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

"Auntie, my name is Zhou Qiang." Zhou Qiang answered the phone while taking a lot of things from the car.

"Yo, you bought so many things?" Aunt Zhang had some gossip and didn't go grocery shopping, so she talked here, wanting to see if Qiu Yingying's boyfriend had the son-in-law of the old Wang family next door.

"It's my first time here, Auntie, you're busy, we're going upstairs." Zhou Qiang locked the car, said hello, and left with Qiu Yingying.

Aunt Zhang didn't go grocery shopping anymore, and hurriedly went to Lao Wang's house next door.

"The daughter of the Qiu family is back, and she still brings her boyfriend.

The young man looked very energetic and brought a lot of gifts.

I see that there is

Thirty years of Fenjiu, and clothes.

And the packaging is in foreign language, I don't recognize it.

The packaging is good and should be a good thing.

The car seems to be."

"Oh, that car is a domestic car, it's not worth much, it's more than 100,000." Aunt Liu of the old Wang family followed and gossiped together.

"It seems that Yingying's boyfriend is not very capable. However, the young man is quite handsome, and it is okay to match Yingying." Aunt Zhang stayed at the Wang family for a while, and then went to the Li family and the Zhao family.

Not for a while.

Many people in the community know that Qiu Yingying has a boyfriend.

In front of Zhou Qiang's car, a few people commented.

"Yingying's boyfriend is average, look at this car, that is, more than 100,000 domestic SUVs."

Zhou Qiang's economic situation was analyzed.

Qiu family.

"Knock knock" Qiu Yingying knocked on the door, "Dad, we're back."

"It's coming!" Dad Qiu hurriedly opened the door, "I'm back, come into the house."

"Hello uncle." Zhou Qiang was very polite.

"Okay, okay, come in, why did you bring so many things?"

"Not much." Zhou Qiang carried things in.

At this time, Qiu's mother came out of the kitchen.

"Hello Auntie." Zhou Qiang said hello.

"Okay, you're Zhou Qiang, the young man is very energetic."

"Mom, Brother Qiang bought you a scarf, a coat, and a woolen sweater.

Dad, this is Fenjiu, and there are foreign wine and cigarettes." Qiu Yingying introduced the gift in Zhou Qiang's hand.

Dad Qiu looked at the cigarettes and alcohol, "These things aren't cheap, are they?"

"It's okay, it should be." Zhou Qiang answered.

"Mom, you can try to see if this dress fits first." Qiu Yingying took out the clothes she bought for Qiu's mother.

"I've got ribs stewed in my pot."

"It's okay, I'll go look at the pot, you try on clothes." Qiu's father went to the kitchen.

"Well, it's a nice outfit." Qiu's mother tried on the clothes, "It's good, it fits well."

Qiu's mother took off her clothes and looked at the price tag, "More than 10,000? Is it so expensive?"

"Brother Qiang has to buy it, and I can't stop it." Qiu Yingying explained with a smile, "This woolen sweater is thousands of dollars, this scarf is not cheap, and there are tens of thousands of cigarettes and alcohol."

"Spend so much money? I can't buy something so expensive in the future."

"Mom, Brother Qiang said that when he came for the first time, he should buy some good things."

Qiu's mother looked at Zhou Qiang, "Xiaoqiang, don't buy anything in the future."

"It's okay, Auntie, it should be."

"Yingying, the tea has been charged in advance, pour tea for Xiaoqiang, and I'll cook for you." Qiu's mother went to the kitchen and was busy cooking with Qiu's father.

Qiu Yingying and Zhou Qiang chatted crookedly.

It didn't take long.

A table of good dishes is ready.

Dad Qiu opened a bottle of Fenjiu prepared in advance and greeted Zhou Qiang, "Can you drink a bar?" Let's have a drink first."

"Uncle, I respect you." Zhou Qiang did it first as a respect.

"Drink slowly." Dad Qiu also toasted.

"Come, is this dish to your liking?" Qiu's mother greeted.

Zhou Qiang tasted it, "It's delicious."

"Mom, Brother Qiang's cooking is delicious." Qiu Yingying praised.

"If you can cook, Yingying can cook too."

Small talk.

"Xiaoqiang, I heard that your steamed bun shop business is not bad?" Qiu's mother asked.

"It's okay."

"I've eaten the buns, and they taste good." Qiu's father interjected.

Eat, drink, and gossip.

The atmosphere is not bad.

After drinking one bottle, Qiu's father still wanted to open the second bottle.

Qiu's mother wanted to stop it, but maybe it was because Zhou Qiang was there, so she hesitated and didn't stop it.

"Uncle, I can't drink anymore." Zhou Qiang opened his mouth to stop.

"Happy today, drink another bottle." Qiu's father still likes to drink and wants to borrow Zhou

It's better to drink more.

"Next time." Zhou Qiang stopped and didn't let the bottle open.
