Chapter 76 Section 7

He Lin called He Chong, and first explained the matter with a smile and cursing, "It doesn't matter if you're not interested, you have to come over to fight the fire, don't make things difficult for me. Besides, it's not that difficult to say no, just in case you see What about the Chinese people?" He Chong has always had a good relationship with his sisters, so he agreed without any problems. "Find a restaurant, treat your guests, among other things, our young master of the He family must keep stylish!" He Chong also agreed, he wouldn't borrow money if he didn't have money.This matter can be big or small, the siblings planned to pass the stage to save face, the old lady dismissed it, and didn't want to make their parents worry about it.It's just that Yu Huaming didn't intend to worry about it, he didn't even think about such an unreasonable thing, but Lao He felt sorry for it, would it work? Anyway, when someone introduces a partner to his son, and the son-in-law is in the middle, it's not good that his parents don't show up, so he just Went to dinner with my son.Another uninvited guest was Yu Huaqing, who did not expect her to appear, and did not know whether it was He Chong or He Lin who told her quickly.It was a bit chaotic, she was fully dressed and came to join in the fun in a very timely manner.

Lao He was a little worried, so he told her quietly in advance: "Let's talk less, let others talk." Yu Huaqing immediately declared: "Just put your heart in your stomach, I'm here to eat roast duck with my mouth on my shoulders." He Chong entertained everyone at Madian Roast Duck Restaurant.The old lady was surprised when she heard that a roast duck cost more than 200 yuan, "It's time to raise a group of ducks!" Everyone just smiled kindly, only He Lin was full of disdain.It's hard for her to like anything about the old lady now.Yu Huaqing also had the same attitude.

When a group of people sit down, the height of the lintel will be revealed. It is definitely not speaking for the rich, but against the poor and peasants. The old He family has long been middle-class in the city, and has already passed the stage of food and clothing. Money is gone, so they appear calm, elegant, calm, and light-hearted. On the other hand, Xiaofeng and the old lady are in a luxury hotel, cramped, nervous, and even a little out of place. Plus, they are a bit self-prepared. It is not so easy to be generous.This somewhat embarrasses Chuanzhi. He can say that social injustice, urban-rural dualism, neglect of the interests of 800 million or 900 million farmers, and excessive care for the cities can be condemned by anyone, but they cannot save the delicate life at the dinner table. eyes and embarrassment.

The dishes are always ordered, and everyone pushes and pushes, but it is uncertain.The man's parents took care of the Hui people and only ordered mutton, fish and vegetarian dishes. Yu Huaqing said quickly: "In the future, we won't be able to eat a piece of cake. Our family used to eat with the democratic principle of the minority obeying the majority." Lao He felt that he was winking at his sister-in-law, stop, stop! Xiaofeng, who has gone to college, is also very capable of thinking and reasoning, and she opened her mouth to answer: "Sometimes taking care of a few people and following the standards of a few people also reflects a kind of progress."

The old lady gave a dry laugh, and looked at He Chong who was wearing a neat suit opposite: "How old is the child?" He Chong replied, "I have performed the coming-of-age ceremony for four years, and I am no longer a child." The old lady still couldn't figure out how old he was. "Have you graduated?" "It's over." "Where do you work?" He Chong showed his idleness again: "No job, wandering around." The old lady said to her in-laws: "When the child grows up, I have to find a job for him. If he earns his own food, he will be sensible and stable."

Old He said sincerely: "He is different from his two older sisters, which worries me a lot. If it doesn't follow the logic, alas, I'm so worried." "It's enough to start a family. Children of this age are all focused on eating well, dressing well, and being healthy. If you don't manage a family, you don't know that daily necessities are expensive. If you don't work, you will be swaying. If you sway for a long time, you will slip..." Chuanzhi brought food to the old lady, hoping to save the old lady from saying a few words, but the old lady didn't stop, and looked at He Chong with great interest, "This is Xiaofeng, my relative, who also graduated from university, earlier than you Graduation for one year, study well in school, you don't know, every year you take the first place in the exam!"

He Chong didn't know whether it was true or not, so he nodded repeatedly: "I admire learning well!" The old lady was very happy, and said to her in-laws: "Her mother didn't let her do any work at home, she was busy reading and studying, and she didn't get in the top three in school, her brain is so good..." Yu Huaqing lowered his head while eating and laughing.Even Xiaofeng was embarrassed, and felt that the old lady was a bit outdated when she praised others. Knowing how to study now only means that she is stupefied, like an idiot, and can't do anything else.

He Lin sent a text message to Chen Zhe under the dinner table: He Chong is on a blind date, and if you come later, the handsome guy will belong to someone else.Don't say I didn't warn you. After a while, the phone will return: I rely on it!Your family is abusing people!Support me first, grab someone!Tell us the address first! The old lady was still chattering at the dinner table, and Lao He was still listening with a loyal face. Yu Huaqing rolled his eyes while eating. If his brother-in-law hadn't said something beforehand, he probably would have been there long ago.It was only a quarter of an hour of harmony, and the brightest character, Chen Zhe, appeared gorgeously in that kind of flowing long skirt, which matched He Chong's suit just right.This girl is not considered pretty, at least slightly inferior to He Lin, who has exquisite facial features, but her open and close personality and the "dominant" temperament that matches this personality are very restrained. Coupled with the professional characteristics of a reporter, she is very It is easy to stand out from the crowd.

I saw this outstanding person glanced around superiorly, and the people around the dinner table were already focusing on her.She heartily greeted He Chong's father and He Chong's aunt first, said "hi" to He Lin and Chuanzhi casually, said "Hello, aunt" to Mrs. Wang, nodded to Xiaofeng, and put her hands on He put it on He Chong's shoulder, and said to He Chong's father, "I'm sorry, old man, today He Chong has to attend a commercial party and be a professional model. This kind of thing is inevitable. I am his temporary professional manager now, sorry , for the sake of the future, I have to take him away now. Handsome boy, do you want to say a few words of farewell?"

Wow, I admire He Lin so much that I can't wait to grab the ground with my head. The kind of intimacy, indifference, and low-level arrogance and arrogance are just right, taking care of everyone without offending anyone. Nothing to say.Standing up, He Chong only needs to say "I'm sorry, I have to take a step ahead, and I will find a chance to make up for it next time", and then I can follow. Old He and Mrs. Wang were a little dumbfounded.Yu Huaqing hurriedly answered: "The business is important, don't delay." Everyone watched helplessly as a pair of beautiful women with more suitable appearance and temperament walked out of the brightly lit hotel.

Afterwards, Old He asked He Lin: "He Chong wouldn't really have anything to do with that friend of yours, would he? You tell her that I have a problem, that our children are all serious, and that your mother and I don't welcome 'sibling love'." , look how dusty she is!" He Lin also didn't think there was any obstacle in the "sister-brother relationship", it was mainly because of Chen Zhe's dust, compared to He Chong's "purity", she did have a bit more dust. But Yu Huaqing didn't take it seriously, "Boy, are you still afraid that he will suffer? He is a reporter, well-informed, look at that look, our family is tied up, so he may not be his opponent! As the saying goes, behind a successful woman, there must be a A bunch of men, let a man rise up, there are not many women working hard behind him, how can our little handsome guy grow into a big model and a big star faster? I really hope that He Chong can become a celebrity, and become the "young woman and young hand" on the cover of a magazine , I warn everyone not to use 'orthodox vision' to kill the most famous and influential artist in our family in the future!" But what was surprising was that when Yu Huaming heard about this incident, the reaction was violent. The old professor who was writing "Investigation on Discrimination against Migrant Workers in Cities" almost left the table immediately, and asked her husband sternly; Undisciplined women? Those good girls with clean net worth and good conduct can't get into his eyes? Tell him, I don't agree! I don't agree with such a woman as our family's daughter-in-law!" Old He Yi agreed and snorted self-deprecatingly in a depressed mood, "Hua Qing spoke for them, saying that he could help He Chong's career!" "He Chong can go to New York to do his art, and we can support him to go on!" "But your sister likes her." "It's not her daughter-in-law, it's useless if she likes it! I don't agree, I don't agree that our only son is walking with this kind of woman!" Then, angrily, he called his son. At that time, He Chong had just finished filming a shampoo commercial and was eating Western food with Chen Zhe. He received a call from his mother, heard her uncompromising and tenacious tone, and looked at his gleaming girlfriend uneasily, before leaving the table. , went to a secluded place, softly comforted: "Mom, this is my own business..." "Nonsense! I have raised you since you were a child, and I respect your personal opinion, but this time you have to listen to me!" "What's wrong with her?" "She is very good. It's good to be an ordinary friend, but it's not good to be our daughter-in-law!" Then hung up, and called the nosy Yu Huaqing, "Don't encourage He Chong and Chen Zhe to be in the past, I'll tell you my attitude: object! You have to know that both of your sons came from decent families Girl, I only have one son, so I want a virtuous, well-educated and reasonable son, so forget about being a crazy girl!" Hua Qing smiled crisply: "Hey, I want to be the queen mother before I become a mother-in-law, so you can ignore him if it's beneficial to He Chong!" The smart and insightful Chen Zhe also called his future mother-in-law at the right time, "Auntie, I like your son, and I will go all out for him. I advise you not to interfere. As the saying goes, don't ask about two lifetimes. I am You won't back down, don't you know that the more you oppose us, the more powerful you are to hold together?" Hua Ming was very calm, "Don't dream, I advise you to give up the idea of ​​joining the He family. I sincerely welcome you to become good friends, but you can't become the daughter-in-law of the He family. With me here, you should make another plan!" Facing such decisive words, Chen Zhe didn't back down, and replied with resilience: "Don't worry, you will become my mother-in-law. From now on, let's see who has more influence on your son! If I don't marry He Chong, I won't marry him." Let it go. Auntie, you should know that the world belongs to you as well as ours, in the final analysis it belongs to our young people." Hua Ming was really mad. However, Hua Qing commented on her sister at the right time: she was lucky to have no mother-in-law in her life, and she was not angry with her mother-in-law, but it did not prevent her from being a wicked mother-in-law. So someone escorted them, and the matter of He Chong and Chen Zhe was put aside for the time being. What about Xiaofeng who was flashed off?In fact, this child Xiaofeng is also a sensible person. When he saw He Chong's appearance, like an idol on TV, he felt that the matter was hanging in the air. A marriage with a wrong family and a lower level must have something that can be sold. Being on par with others is like the ancient emperors who only have one requirement for women: to be handsome.If their family background is transferred over, maybe there is still some spectrum. The old lady also gave up, especially after seeing the radiant Chen Zhe, she really felt that our Xiaojia Biyu can only be a good wife and mother, and the kind of woman who can show a bright future for men can't be compared anyway. The in-laws failed. Since I came to Beijing and saw the order and prosperity of the big city, I couldn't go back anyway. Everyone can see that the road from the countryside to the city is getting wider and brighter. Going back, Ask for a dead end.Anyway, the girl graduated from university and is educated, so let's find a job slowly.Coincidentally, the eldest sister called from the south and accidentally told her mother something that kept the old man awake for three days and three nights, "Mother, I sew buttonholes for people in the garment factory here. Do you know who my manager is? It’s the eldest daughter of Lin Sanyu from Xilin’s family in Zhuangshang on the west side! She graduated a year earlier than Chuanlin and came to Shenzhen to find a job. Yes! I brought Renj's family to Shenzhen. The three younger sisters are all in the garment factory. I asked the third brother to help me in. I only know the third brother..." The old lady vaguely remembered that Lin Sannuo's eldest daughter had fallen in love with her third son. She also remembered that the Lin family was very poor and Lin Sannuo needed food, but the four daughters were famously beautiful. Wang Qingxia continued: "Our company still has a branch factory in Shunyi, Beijing, which makes garments for export. I think Manager Tuolin will help me and transfer to a comparable branch factory. It's also close to you!" The old lady was very happy when she heard that, and added: "Tell Lin Sannuo's eldest daughter, can you bring Xiaofeng to work in the factory?" over again. Qingxia also disapproved of Xiaofeng's brother-in-law who had a blind date with her second brother: "People think that people in the city are superior, why should you give up this old face, as if we are superior to others! Anyway, Xiaofeng is also a college student, let her go to the factory What does she do as a worker? Can she endure this hardship? People here take two days off a month, work ten hours a day, and sometimes work overtime. They only enter the factory if they are uneducated and can’t find work.” "Your brother said that it's hard to find here. There are so many educated people and people who have gone to college here, and Xiaofeng has no work experience. Can you tell Lin Sannuo's eldest daughter that Xiaofeng is educated and sits down?" How about an office?" The old lady is very concerned about her face in her natal family and her brother's.At the same time, I feel a little bit regretful. If I had agreed to the marriage between the girl of the Lin family and the third child, I would be able to call the third daughter-in-law in the future to make a request. Of course, I have to take care of myself.People don't have eyes in the back, so who can see so far?However, I also thought that he became the manager only after talking about the boyfriend of the vice president of the company. If he was with Chuanlin, he would not have such a chance. But the opportunity for Qingxia to find Xiaofeng to sit in the "behind" office did not come soon, and Xiaofeng lived and ate at He Lin's house every day, which quickly annoyed He Lin.Ordinarily, it’s okay for a young girl to help the old lady with cooking and grocery shopping. It’s enough to take care of the old lady with her mouth and desserts. Maybe the concept of relatives is heavy. Xiaofeng is also obsessed with her cousin Chuanzhi. The old lady treated her as her own family. Several times, He Lin caught this outsider diligently peeling pears for Chuanzhi, and handed them to him, and of course, to the old lady. Entering the door with the crib, the well-behaved girl cut another one and wanted to hand it to the ugly-faced second cousin, but He Lin coldly refused.The girl cried aggrievedly, but the old lady and the second cousin sincerely comforted her. On the stairs the next day, He Lin heard the cousins ​​singing in harmony while washing vegetables and cooking in the kitchen.Just because this kind of happiness makes He Lin angry, the hostess is not happy being disturbed by a group of outsiders. How can she be so happy as an outsider?Does it take so many people to cook a meal?Where is the old lady?Why are there only two of them left in the small kitchen?Cousins ​​are still close, are there still few versions of folk stories? When she pretended to go to the kitchen to get milk, Xiaofeng's downcast face suddenly made her want to kick her out: Let my man play with you, and you expect me to apologize to you! That night He Lin lost her temper and told Xiaofeng to leave. Chuanzhi was helpless: "She's a girl, where should she go?" "She doesn't have a home? Why should our home be an inn for all those who are related to you?" "She only lives for a few days, and she will move out as soon as she finds a job!" "Come on, I don't want any young women in this family to fall apart!" "Where do you want to go?" "I didn't think of where to go. As long as your cousin is still living downstairs in three days, I will go to the street and drag a cousin to live upstairs!" It was noisy from above, and the two people in front of the TV in the living room downstairs were watching TV on the sofa without talking.When the people upstairs came to an end, the old lady comforted her distant niece: "Don't listen to her nonsense, she's mentally ill, and even I scolded her." Xiaofeng also suddenly didn't care, and instead comforted the old man, "Second cousin is really, why did you find such a person, who doesn't show filial piety to the old man, doesn't work, and quarrels every day, what are you doing!" "Chuan Zhi's life is not good, she has cured him to death, and he has been unlucky for eight lifetimes to find such an evil wife. If there is no good time, Chuan Zhi's life should have this calamity!" The little girl sighed sympathetically. Three days later, Xiaofeng still moved away, and worked as a waiter in a restaurant, with food and housing at 800 per month.Both the old lady and Xiaofeng complained quite a bit, and they looked down on the profession of serving people as a waiter, as if they were ashamed.The old lady promised on the spot: "Do it first, and when your eldest cousin asks someone to transfer to work in the Beijing garment factory, you can sit in the office, which is light and decent!"
