Banggen ordered two roast ducks and planned to try Quanjude’s cooking.
To be honest, after so many years, he really hasn't tasted the craftsmanship of restaurants outside.
Anyway, for him, no matter how delicious the food cooked outside is, it is not as delicious as what he cooks.
If it weren't for his sister-in-law's check this time, he wouldn't be here.
After all, eating out is not only a waste of money, but it's not as delicious as what he makes, and the benefits are not taken away at all.
Oh, there is still one advantage, that is, you don’t have to do it yourself.
After ordering the food, Banggan asked Shen Xiaonan to wait for the meal, while he went outside to smoke a cigarette while waiting for someone.
Because he arrived a little early, Banggan smoked two cigarettes outside. When he was about to light the third cigarette, the sister-in-law finally came with her partner.
"Sister, this way." BangGeng waved.
"Brother-in-law."
Shen Xiaomei waved to her partner to follow.
As soon as he saw this action, Banggeng could tell that they had not held hands before.
"Brother-in-law, let me introduce you. This is my friend. His name is Zhou Huaqiang." Shen Xiaomei introduced the person's name with some embarrassment.
"Hello, hello, I'm his brother-in-law, Jia Gen." Bang Geng warmly shook hands with Zhou Huaqiang.
Zhou Huaqiang was also very polite and called Brother Jia with a somewhat tangled expression.
BangGeng knows why he has this expression.
Because in terms of age, he is younger than Zhou Huaqiang.
But because Shen Xiaonan is the eldest in the Shen family, whether it is his younger sister or his future brother-in-law, no matter how older he is, they all have to call him brother.
"It's okay to call me by my name. Let's be friends as equals." BangGeng waved his hand nonchalantly.
There are many people younger than him who call him brother, and this one is no exception.
"Brother-in-law, where is my sister? Why didn't you see anyone?" Shen Xiaomei came to the rescue next to her.
"It's inside, let's go in and chat!" Bangge invited them in.
It can be seen that Zhou Huaqiang is a little cautious.
Shen Xiaomei probably told him what was going on.
But by observing his words and expressions, Banggeng could see that Zhou Huaqiang was a little unconvinced.
It’s not that I’m not convinced about meeting my parents, it’s that I’m not convinced that this person is a great person.
To put it bluntly, he just felt that the status of Banggeng and him should be equal. The only difference was that he and Shen Xiaomei were not married yet, while Banggeng was already married.
But in terms of status, they are all sons-in-law of the Shen family.
As we all know, meeting also has the meaning of testing.
He felt that even if it was a test, it shouldn't be a good joke.
After seeing through Zhou Huaqiang's thoughts, Bangge felt helpless.
This is the complexity of the human heart.
On the surface, Zhou Huaqiang seemed polite, but in his heart, he had this thought.
This is also the reason why Bangge is unwilling to use Observation Motive and Color.
It's not fun at all, but it may make you unhappy.
Fortunately, Banggeng has a large amount of energy, so I don't care about it.
He just wanted to complete his mother-in-law's mission and help look after someone.
As for whether Zhou Huaqiang is good or bad, it doesn't have much to do with him.
Even if he and Shen Xiaomei get married in the future, they will be just brothers-in-law.
The relationship is not deep.
Bangge’s thinking mode is still based on modernity, and modern times are a bit indifferent to family relationships.
Not to mention brothers-in-law who are not related by blood, even relatives who don't move around very often, if they don't see each other for a long time, the relationship will be dull.
Banggeng brought them to the dinner table, met Shen Xiaonan, and introduced them again.
Among the three sisters of the Shen family, Shen Xiaonan is the one with the best appearance and temperament.
When he saw Shen Xiaonan, Zhou Huaqiang was obviously stunned for a moment, maybe he was stunned by Shen Xiaonan's beauty.
Even Banggeng heard the voice of jealousy.
[No wonder my future brother-in-law is willing to marry a woman who is five years older than him. If she is of this caliber, I would be willing to marry her too!]
【It would be great if my partner could be replaced by her. 】
"Ahem, Aqiang, right? How old is he this year?"
Before Zhou Huaqiang could finish his thoughts, Banggeng coughed lightly and asked in an elder's tone.
"I'm... twenty-five years old." Zhou Huaqiang was stunned for a moment, as if his thoughts had been read through Banggeng's sharp eyes.
He stuttered a bit when he spoke.
"Twenty-five, that's not too young." Banggeng nodded, and then asked, "I heard that you work at the Bureau of Agriculture. How many years have you been working?"
"Five...five years." Zhou Huaqiang was a little confused when he saw the stickman suddenly becoming more powerful.
"Brother-in-law?" Shen Xiaomei looked at Bangge worriedly.
Shen Xiaonan on the side quietly pulled her sister.
As the person who knows BangGeng best, she knows that her husband seems to be angry.
It's just that she can't figure out why Bangge is angry.
"Five years, how many levels are you at?" Banggeng's tone seemed calm, but it put a lot of pressure on people.
Zhou Huaqiang also didn't understand why he was afraid of the brother-in-law in front of him who was several years younger than him.
"Level 10." Although he was thinking about random things in his mind, he answered the question honestly on his face.
"Five years, level ten, um..." Banggan's voice clearly sounded emotionless, but at this moment, it made Zhou Huaqiang feel uncomfortable.
He... seemed to be despised.
The positions in the Agricultural Bureau are divided into management positions, professional and technical positions, and work skills positions.
Zhou Huaqiang works in a professional and technical position.
Professional and technical positions are divided into thirteen levels.
Senior positions range from one to seven, with levels one to four being full senior positions and levels five to seven being deputy senior positions.
Intermediate positions are divided into three levels, levels eight to ten.
Entry-level positions are also divided into three levels, levels 11 to 13.
Zhou Huaqiang just touched the edge of the mid-level position.
This level is neither high nor low, and is about the same as Qin Huairu's, with a salary of twenty-seven and a half yuan.
The scene that followed was a bit dull.
After the roast duck was served, Banggan began to concentrate on dealing with the roast duck.
It was as if I had never eaten anything so delicious.
But in Banggeng's heart, this thing hasn't tasted delicious yet.
He just didn't want to talk.
In his heart, Zhou Huaqiang, the future brother-in-law, has already been marked with a cross by him.
As a man, if you encounter someone who thinks about your wife, you would be generous if you don't give him a good beating.
Shen Xiaonan's husband and wife follow him, and seeing that Banggeng doesn't like him very much, he naturally won't greet him with a smile.
Shen Xiaomei also saw that Bangge didn't like her, a person with whom she had not yet established a relationship.
Zhou Huaqiang also noticed it. At this moment, he still felt baffled that he didn't know why he had offended Bangge, his future brother-in-law.
But this question of his may never be answered for the rest of his life.
Banggeng finished the meal with a natural expression, stood up to pay the bill, said goodbye to Shen Xiaomei, and pulled Shen Xiaonan away.
Only Zhou Huaqiang was left feeling a little confused.
On the way back, Shen Xiaonan looked at Banggeng and said, "Don't you like the person your eldest sister is talking to?"
"I'm very good at judging people. This person is not suitable for my eldest sister. If they really get together in the end, your eldest sister will suffer a lot." In front of Shen Xiaonan, Bangge did not hide it.
