Seeing his daughter playing with her mobile phone all the time, with silly smiles on her face from time to time, Jiang Xuemin frowned slightly:
"Xiaoxue, who are you talking to when you are smiling so happily? Is it the boy your grandpa mentioned?"
Jiang Yingxue was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red and she nodded:
"Yes, I'm chatting with Li Xiao."
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot his name if you didn't tell me. I'm not talking about you. Xiaoxue, you are still studying. A student's main task should be to study. It's too early to fall in love now.
"
Hearing Jiang Xuemin's words, Jiang Yingxue's mother Yang Chunmei was a little unhappy.
"Study, study, I'm a senior and I'm about to graduate. I've already learned what I should learn, and I still can't learn what I should learn well. It's not too late. If we don't date now, why don't we wait until we get out of society to find someone?
"
"As you said, isn't it good to find someone in society? Just find someone local in Nanjing. It's not like you don't know that the guy he is dating now is in Guangdong. We only have one daughter to marry from all this way.
Still okay?"
Obviously, Jiang Xuemin doesn't actually care about his daughter dating when she is in college. After all, she is a child in her 20s. She has already understood what she should understand, and these parents cannot control it.
What he cared about was clearly the distance between Li Xiao and them. It was too far. Once Jiang Yingxue married, it would be like losing a daughter.
After all, the distance between Nanjing and Dongguan is so far. Not to mention driving, even taking a plane or high-speed rail will take six to seven hours or more.
Let alone being able to come back once a month, it would be good if you can come back once a year. If it is difficult to get along with your husband's family, it will be a question whether you can come back here for the Chinese New Year.
The cabbage he had raised for decades was forgotten by others, and now he uprooted it and took it away. How could Jiang Xuemin endure this?
Therefore, of course he does not agree with your daughter dating this boyfriend.
Moreover, he also heard that his daughter and her current boyfriend had only been dating for more than a month, and most of them were chatted online, with only a handful of meetings. In this case, it would be better to break off the relationship early.
It was up to him to do this evil thing. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Moreover, the two places are so far apart, and the customs, eating habits and life concepts are all different, which will make his daughter very unaccustomed to living there.
He didn't want his daughter to marry so far away. If she was bullied, he, as a father, wouldn't be able to do anything about it. This was what worried him the most.
Jiang Xuemin's words made it very clear that he disliked Li Xiao for being too far away. After hearing his father's words, Jiang Yingxue also lowered her head and the smile on her face faded.
But then Yang Chunmei said:
"It's just Guangdong. It's not like marrying to a foreign country. What does it matter? Now the transportation is so developed that you can come back anytime you want."
"Besides, I heard from my dad that the young man's character is indeed good, and his income is quite high. The transportation expenses back and forth are not a problem for them at all. Don't worry, I will definitely not come back to see you after marrying him.
It's yours, don't worry about anything here."
Speaking of Li Xiao's income, Jiang Xuemin raised his eyebrows and said with some disdain:
"Hey, it's okay if you don't talk about this. I have something to say when I talk about it."
"That man is a live broadcaster. Live broadcasting is just like those who performed on the street in the past. In the past, this was a low-class business. Better people would not even look down on these low-class people."
Jiang Yingxue, who had always kept her head down and was scolded, finally gave up. After all, her father's words were becoming more and more unpleasant. She said with some dissatisfaction:
"Dad! What are you talking about? What's wrong with being a low-class person? Don't be afraid, it's too much. Besides, what age are you in, why are you still so feudal in your thoughts?"
"Li Xiao is a food anchor with great cooking skills. He now has more than 3 million fans."
Yang Chunmei also pinched her husband's arm quickly, feeling that he talked too much.
Although in her opinion, the anchor industry is indeed not so down-to-earth, but since the other party has already made his mark in an industry, and is doing well, it proves that this young man has certain strength, otherwise there would be no
No way, you can earn so much money at such a young age.
She quickly glared at her husband and warned in a low voice
"Okay, the one with the surname Jiang will be enough. Who are you going to show off your tantrum during the Chinese New Year? You are the leader at work, but not at home. If anything happens, everyone can discuss it."
"It's not appropriate for you to object even if you haven't even met him before. Besides, my dad has said that that young man is indeed a good person. He is a caring person who can be trusted."
When Jiang Xuemin saw that even his wife did not support him, his face became even uglier. He patted the table and said:
"It's not that I don't speak well, but my father-in-law's ability to judge people is that he can't be sure at a glance. Look at that white-eyed wolf. Your father treated him heartily, and in the end he taught him to bite him.
The wolf comes out."
Yang Chunmei was furious when she heard that Jiang Xuemin dared to talk about his own father. She also imitated Jiang Xuemin and patted the table, stared and said loudly:
"Jiang Xuemin, you have become more capable, haven't you? And you said that my father is not good at judging people? Don't forget that it was my father who agreed to our marriage. If you say this now, do you mean that my father is blind? I
Shouldn’t dad have married me to Nanjing in the first place?”
Jiang Xuemin was a little frightened when he saw his wife getting angry, and quickly apologized in a low voice:
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was so excited that I was speechless. It's my fault."
However, Yang Chunmei did not pay attention to her husband's apology, but pointed at Jiang Xuemin's nose and said:
"Why didn't you break up with me by saying that Nanjing was too far away from Hangzhou? Why didn't you say that I only go home during the holidays, and I don't go home very often? Now it's better, it's my daughter's turn, and I'm going on and on and on.
It’s gone, right?”
Jiang Xuemin was left speechless. It is true that Nanjing is not far from Hangzhou.
However, because transportation in the past was not as developed as it is now, Yang Chunmei only returned home once or twice a year, and at most, she only returned home three or four times a year.
According to what I say now, my wife at that time was considered to have married far away.
"How can this be the same? It's only more than an hour's journey from Nanjing to Hangzhou. Besides, I'm a government employee with a secure golden job. It's completely different from someone like him who has no foundation."
"Besides, don't you usually watch the news? There are so many celebrity anchors who cheat and have affairs. Besides, I watched that boy's live broadcast. He is so handsome and there are so many girls in the audience. If he wants to cheat, it will not happen in a minute.
Is it something? Do you think your daughter will come back to you crying?"
After hearing the first half of Jiang Xuemin's words, Yang Chunmei was about to refute that her husband's job was indeed a golden one, and now it was close to 20,000 yuan a month.
But he heard from his daughter that some people can make a lot of money in a month, not to mention a lot, probably one million a year.
But I was stunned when I heard what my husband said next. This is a problem. Although my daughter is very cute, Li Xiao's appearance is indeed not bad.
Rich, young, and handsome, he is indeed the type that many girls like.
And he comes into contact with so many girls, it's really easy to get dazzled by them.
It is true that he often sees news about celebrities cheating. Seeing that his wife was persuaded, Jiang Xuemin quickly pursued the victory.
"Think about it, this is really not groundless. How high is this young man's self-control?"
Jiang Yingxue was originally very happy. After all, she had her mother supporting her, so what was there to be afraid of?
But soon she discovered that the situation seemed slightly different from what she had imagined. Why did her mother, who was originally in her own camp, look like she was going to defect to her father?
Sure enough, Yang Chunmei hesitated for a moment and then spoke in a low voice:
"There is indeed something wrong with this. After all, their circle is still too chaotic, and it is easy to make mistakes if you are not careful. And Xiaoxue, you are so simple, and your father is also worried that you will be hurt."
Hearing her mother's words, Jiang Yingxue's heart sank to the bottom
"You... how can you think like this? If you want to cheat, where can't you cheat? For example, my second uncle teaches in a primary school. The environment is safe enough, so it's not cheating."
"Whether you cheat or not depends on the person, not what he does. Besides, besides..."
Hearing that her daughter suddenly became hesitant, with a blush on her face, Yang Chunmei made a sound, glared at her husband, pulled her daughter back to the room.
After closing the door, she hesitated and asked:
"What did you want to say just now? Besides what? Don't be afraid, you are both adults. It's just you and me here. What did you want to say just now?"
Seeing her mother's suspicious look, Jiang Yingxue's face turned redder, and she immediately understood that her mother must have misunderstood something.
She quickly explained:
"No, Mom, where did you think you were?"
Yang Chunmei was a little confused and thought her daughter was shy, so she got straight to the point and asked:
"Have you already been with him?"
Seeing that her mother had indeed misunderstood, Jiang Yingxue quickly denied:
"No, no, what I want to say is..."
Jiang Yingxue immediately went to Li Xiao's live broadcast room and made a big fuss. Later, Li Xiao paid her compensation for wiping her butt and gave her a gift of more than 2 million yuan.
After listening to the eavesdropping outside the door, Jiang Xuemin rushed in and asked urgently:
"What did you say? You asked others to spend more than 2 million on you?"
Jiang Xuemin was so anxious that his face was covered with sweat. He didn't have more than 2 million, but it was still his salary for nearly 10 years without food or water.
Seeing that her father was actually hiding at the door and eavesdropping, Jiang Yingxue stamped her feet and her face turned even redder. Thinking of what her mother had just asked her, she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
However, Jiang Xuemin had no time to care whether his daughter was shy at this time, and asked nervously:
"That boyfriend of yours really spent 2 million on you?"
Jiang Yingxue nodded and confirmed again:
"Yes, that's right. Although it hasn't been spent yet, it should be spent during this period. It is estimated that it will be spent after the year. And he has publicly promised to spend it. If he hasn't spent it now, he will definitely spend it by then."
After their daughter's confirmation, the two of them looked at each other and didn't know what to say. This completely subverted their cognition.
Most of Yang Chunmei's original worries have disappeared. After all, a person who spent more than 2 million for his daughter would not believe it if he didn't really like his daughter.
If you really don't like it, you can just break up and save more than 2 million.
So her tone immediately changed:
"Two million is not a small amount of money. Can Xiao Li afford it?"
They had heard their daughters say before that the other party had a high income, but they thought it was an exaggeration, or that young people were more concerned about face and liked to brag, but now it seems true?
Jiang Yingxue nodded:
"It didn't happen before, but I brought goods to a friend's factory a few days ago, and then I also live broadcasted every day, and then it was enough."
"In addition, he also took out a loan to buy a villa worth more than 7 million yuan and a Mercedes-Benz worth hundreds of thousands yuan. He bought all these on his own. It was also his first time dating, and there was nothing shady about it on the Internet.
material."
"The things you are worried about have never happened. After all, information on the Internet is very transparent now. If he has really done the things you are worried about before, it can be easily found out."
After hearing his daughter's explanation, even the firm Jiang Xuemin hesitated.
He is a man himself, so he understands men's psychology very well.
If they didn't really like it, no one would be so stupid and spend so much money to wipe their daughter's butt.
To be honest, if it were me at that time, if I could save 2 million by just bowing my head and admitting my daughter's mistake, what would I do?
He was not sure whether he would ask his daughter to apologize or pay 2 million to make amends to everyone.
Thinking about it, it's probably the former. After all, it's two million, and all the daughter has to do is apologize.
Another thing that made him hesitate was the first love mentioned by his daughter.
He has been through this before and understands the meaning of first love.
If the other person is really his first love, he should really love his short daughter. Otherwise, why not let them try?
Seeing her father frowning, Jiang Yingxue quickly spoke.
"Three roommates in my dormitory and their boyfriends have also met Li Xiao. They all like Li Xiao very much. They say he is sincere, kind and generous, and he must be a good boyfriend."
As she spoke, she came closer to her father and shook his hand.
"Please, Dad, I really feel that if I miss Li Xiao, I won't be able to find such a good boyfriend."
Jiang Xuemin sighed and nodded helplessly:
"Okay, let's just pat and drag him away for now. As for what happens next, we'll talk about it later. But, you also have to take care of yourself, understand?"
Jiang Xuemin specially emphasized his voice to protect himself. Jiang Yingxue blushed and nodded quickly, her voice as thin as a mosquito:
"knew."
Seeing that her husband also agreed, Yang Chunmei breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and smiled:
"Okay, okay, just make things clear. It's Chinese New Year, so don't make any noise. Once we've made it clear, let's go out to watch the Spring Festival Gala. We're probably going to count down."
"By the way, if you have a chance, let him come over here. Let's treat him to a meal and see what a man who can spend 2 million for a girlfriend is like."
"Yeah, no problem."
Li Xiao, who was far away in Dongguan, didn't know that his love, which was like a seedling, almost ended in vain under the influence of his powerful father because of the distance and location.
Li Xiao smiled when she saw the New Year greetings sent by Jiang Yingxue.
[Okay, I will go to the capital to take the exam after the New Year's Eve, and then I have to go to the national sports team to go through the formalities before I can go to your house to visit my uncle and aunt. ]
[No rush, you should finish your work first. Besides, I have to go back to school after the Chinese New Year. There are many things to be busy with during the graduation season.]
【Then, let’s talk about it then.】
Responding to the message, Liang Jinjian suddenly reminded:
"Hurry up, get ready for the countdown."
Li Xiao quickly looked away from the phone and looked in the direction of the TV.
On the stage, all the stars had beaming expressions on their faces, and numbers were displayed on the big screen behind them.
【10】...
【9】...
...
【2】...
【1】...
【0】...
【Happy New Year】!!!
"Happy New Year, I wish my parents good health and a smile."
Li Xiao also smiled and said New Year blessings to his parents. As the countdown ended and the new year arrived, explosions immediately sounded outside the window, and countless fireworks rose from all over the city and then bloomed.
Above the sky.
In an instant, the dark night sky suddenly became as bright as day, and colorful fireworks lit up.
Hearing the sound of fireworks, Li Xiao turned his head and looked out the window, with a smile on his face.
In the past, to see such a view, I had to climb to the top of a dirty and messy building to see it. After all, my old house was in an old area.
There are many similar employee dormitories nearby, and the space in front is very small. It is impossible to see such a gorgeous night view of fireworks outside the hall.
After all, this is a night view costing more than 7 million yuan. You get what you pay for, so it’s expensive for its own sake.
Along with the fireworks at midnight, Li Xiao's cell phone rang non-stop again, but this time it was almost all group messages, such as too many greetings on the morning of the first day of the new year, so you might not be able to see them.
He simply ignored it. After all, he didn't think the people who sent the group message had any intention of receiving a reply.
As for those who could tell at a glance that they were personally edited, Li Xiao responded one by one. Regardless of whether they were close or distant, being able to type each word showed sincerity. In such a festive time, he could take the trouble to reply.
Li Jianguo also quickly went to the door to set off firecrackers. The two elders rarely went to bed so late, so they went back to the room after the countdown.
Li Xiao, on the other hand, was busy replying to various messages until after one o'clock before he had time to rest his cramped hands. In fact, he didn't need to be so tired, but as a courtesy, it was really inappropriate for someone else to send him a message and not reply properly.
