After the nanny put all the cooked dishes on the table, she called into the living room.
"Sir, it's time to eat."
Looking at the wall clock, Wang Lidong said to Zhang Anren: quarter past eleven.
"Xiao Zhang, let's have a casual dinner together, and you can just have a couple of drinks with me."
Zhang Anren hurriedly smiled and echoed:
"Okay, uncle."
Wang Lidong turned to the nanny and said:
"Aunt Jia, please bring four bottles of beer. Xiao Zhang, do you want iced or not?"
"I can do it."
Knowing that this was the first time someone came to the door, he might be a little nervous, so he looked out the window, Xia Tian.
"Aunt Jia, give Xiao Zhang 2 bottles of ice."
"Yes sir."
After pouring the beer, Zhang Anren saw that no one had touched Kuai Zi yet, and asked his girlfriend in a low voice:
"Are you waiting for auntie?"
Jiang Nansun explained:
"My mother must have gotten excited about playing mahjong, so she didn't come back for lunch.
Now I’m waiting for the rice wine. Grandma drinks a little rice wine with every meal. Today we have drunken crabs, which are too cold, so I’ll drink some too. Do you want some?”
She hasn't told her boyfriend about her parents' divorce yet, mainly because she hasn't found a suitable opportunity. She can't suddenly say to her boyfriend, "My parents are divorced."
Zhang Anren glanced at Wang Lidong and asked, "Does your dad drink?"
"No, he only drinks beer recently. He says he is getting older and high alcohol intake is too harmful to the body."
"Then the two bottles of liquor I brought here today will be wasted."
Jiang Nansun said inexplicably:
"No, it can be used as cooking wine."
These words choked Zhang Anren, and he came to his senses after a while. Although it was just ordinary Moutai, one bottle cost more than 2,000 yuan, and two bottles cost him almost 5,000 yuan. He looked at his girlfriend's careless expression.
Looks like, I'm a little worried. If I get married in the future, I don't know if my salary will be enough for the two of them.
Nice romance novel
"Miss, your rice wine."
"Thank you Aunt Jia."
Mother Jiang had a good first impression of Zhang Anren through the chat just now. Most elderly people like people who are down-to-earth and steady, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and Zhang Anren is exactly this kind of person.
"Xiao Zhang, what I asked Aunt Jia to cook today is Huaiyang cuisine. It's moderately salty and not as sweet as our cuisine. I just don't know if it suits your taste."
Zhang Anren hurriedly replied:
"Grandma, I'm not picky about my food. I'm used to our food."
Mother Jiang smiled, turned to Wang Lidong and said:
"I just had a chat with Xiao Zhang. The young man looks very talented and has a good personality. He is a good match for our Nansun. Both of us are not too young. If we can get married, we should get married as soon as possible."
Jiang Nansun said unhappy:
"Grandma, you are so eager to get me married."
"Girl, you will get married sooner or later. It is better to marry later than to marry early."
He felt that if he continued talking, the old lady might throw out some patriarchal remarks. Wang Lidong also wanted to have a good meal, so he raised his glass and said:
"Come, let's raise a glass together and welcome Xiao Zhang to our home."
"Thank you grandma, uncle."
The old lady saw that Zhang Anren didn't touch Kuaizi very much:
"Xiao Zhang, you can eat whatever you like, you're welcome."
Zhang Anren nodded hurriedly:
"Okay, grandma."
After eating a few mouthfuls of food, the old lady asked:
"Xiao Zhang, where is your hometown and how many brothers and sisters are there?"
Zhang Anren put down his kuaizi, sat upright, and replied seriously:
"Grandma, I am from Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, my hometown. I am the only child in the family."
Yes, if you have only one child and a simple population, you will have fewer problems in the future.
"Pu'er City is the origin of Pu'er tea?"
Zhang Anren hurriedly explained:
"It can only be regarded as one of the producing areas of Pu'er tea. Five years ago, our place was called Simao City, and then for some reasons, it was changed to Pu'er City. In fact, our place does not produce much tea. It is mainly a tea distribution center, trading place, and deep processing place.
"
"Simao City, this name sounds familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere before."
"Mom, Simao was mentioned in the debt levied by Mingzhu Tower when I was young."
Mother Jiang gently clapped her chin:
"Yes, yes, it's this TV series. It's been many years, but I still remember a few lyrics in it. The beautiful Xishuangbanna can't keep my father. The pearl is so big, but it doesn't have my home..."
Zhang Anren smiled and said:
"Grandma has a really good memory. This TV series has been around for many years. I remember that I was only ten years old at the time, and this TV series was quite a sensation in our place. There was a neighbor in my family who joined us in Mingzhu, but he never returned to Mingzhu and stayed there.
It’s with us.”
"Fortunately, our family Pengfei is young. When he reaches adulthood, it will be over, otherwise he will be assigned out..."
When Wang Lidong saw his mother, the more she spoke, the more outrageous she became. If she continued, she would be harmed.
"Xiao Zhang, then your home should not be far from Xishuangbanna."
"It's very close, just dozens of kilometers away. Uncle, grandma, whenever you have time, go and visit my hometown. Although our place is not as developed as the Pearl, there are still many tourist attractions. Just in Pu'er City, there are several
There are 3A4A scenic spots, such as the Ancient Tea Horse Road, Tropic of Cancer Marker Park, etc.”
Jiang Nansun stared at her boyfriend and said:
"Zhang Anren, we have known each other for three years, why have you never invited me?"
"In the past two years, I have been busy with graduation, so I haven't had much time off. This year I have some time, but it's your turn to have no time."
"You...can barely get by."
In fact, Jiang Nansun just said that if he really wanted to invite her, she would not go there rashly. If she really wanted to go, she would definitely take Zhu Suosuo with her.
"Xiao Zhang, what about your parents? What do they do?"
Zhang Anren replied:
"My mother is a primary school teacher, and my father is a civil servant."
The old lady nodded with satisfaction:
"Then your parents should be retiring soon, right?"
If this kind of family were located in Mingzhu City, the young man would definitely be a hot commodity. He graduated with a doctorate, his parents' jobs are guaranteed jobs, he must have some connections, and his salary after retirement will be quite high.
"My dad will retire the year after next, and my mom will retire next year."
"I heard that you bought a house in Sanlin. How much area is it? Is it a full loan?"
"One bedroom and one living room, sixty-three square meters, bought with a loan, with twelve years left."
"Then after your parents retire, will they stay back home, or will they live with you in Mingzhu?"
Zhang Anren saw his girlfriend's family looking at him, and his heart suddenly tightened.
He has been in Mingzhu for ten years since his freshman year and knows the requirements of Mingzhu people in this regard.
Most local girls in Mingzhu will not live with their husband's parents after marriage.
What's more, the princess Jiang Nansun.
And now he only has a small house with one bedroom and one living room. If he gets married, it will be a wedding room for two people, and it can accommodate two people at most.
Fortunately, he had done some homework these days, and this problem was also expected.
"Grandma, uncle, I have thought about this. I want to take my parents to live in Mingzhu after they retire. At that time, I will buy another house near my home, and my parents will live in that house. No.
