An ordinary county in the south, this is Shen Yi's hometown.
If we look at her place of birth, her starting point is really not high, not even a prefecture-level city, let alone a first-tier city like Jiangcheng or a super-first-tier city like the capital.
But in today’s society, who says there are no rich people in the county? Although Shen Yi’s native family is not considered rich, it is still a middle-class family. The family runs a business. Although it is not large, in this county , it can be considered a pretty good family.
It's just that because Shen Yi's company has grown bigger and bigger in recent years, the family has suddenly crossed the class ladder. Not to mention that the family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and it will naturally get better and better.
Shen Yi has said more than once that she wants to bring her two elders to live in the capital. After all, it is close to where she works and it is convenient to meet. Besides, it is not that she does not have the ability. It is just a matter of a house.
But the two elders don't think so. They are used to life in the county, their relatives and friends are all here, and they still have business at home, so why go to the capital?
Not a single acquaintance told me, and I had nothing to do all day long. Why not stay at home, do family business, and occasionally get together with relatives and friends. Isn’t life better than in the capital?
For young people, going to the capital will naturally bring greater development, but for the elderly it is not so attractive.
Besides, people without money can't even afford food even if they live in Tiananmen Square, while people with money can still live a comfortable and comfortable life even if they live in a ravine.
The old couple are now in their fifties, and they are not too old to move. They need their daughter to take care of them in their old age. Why go to the capital at this age? Aren't they living at home cool?
Their daughter is promising and has opened a company. They don't know how much her annual income is, but they know a lot. There are several properties in their hometown.
The house their family lives in now is the best and largest single-family villa in Anhai City. It is also the kind that is close to the river in the city. It has beautiful scenery and convenient transportation.
In a small county town, there is no inconvenient transportation. Going wherever the family has a car is not a matter of effort. Moreover, in this small county town, it only takes a long time to drive around, so the two elders are very satisfied.
The only thing that worries me at this time is my daughter's life-long event.
Unlike Su Qing's mother, Zhou Hui, who is rebellious, Shen Yi's parents are normal and open-minded.
I have never urged her before, but in the past two years, as my daughter has gotten older and older, there is no need for an elderly person to be impatient, so she has begun to urge her appropriately.
We had even introduced blind dates before, but those in the south either gave up after hearing his family's conditions, or Shen Yi didn't like the other party. Some even looked at the photos without even seeing each other. In the end, they even directly I just refused on the grounds that I was busy with work and had no time.
Otherwise, sometimes having a good child is a worry, especially when it comes to finding a partner.
In the evening, the dining table of the Shen family was filled with a large table of dishes, but no one moved their chopsticks. A pair of fathers sat opposite Shen Yi, who were her parents.
The man is thin, in his 50s, and wears glasses. His temperament is different from the gentleness of Old Su, but like a calm decision-maker, but now there is a trace of curiosity in his eyes.
On the other hand, the woman next to him was very direct, looking at her daughter with a happy face: "Xiaoyi, tell me quickly, are you in love? If you are, I won't introduce you to blind dates this year. "
The daughter is also in her fifties, with a slightly rounded figure, and a slight resemblance to Shen Yi between her eyebrows. Even though her figure is slightly out of shape now, judging from her facial features, she must have been a beauty when she was young.
Hearing this, Shen Yi seemed a little shy. Although she had always said anything in front of Su Qing and others, and was even quite proactive, she was still a little embarrassed in front of her parents.
Seeing their daughter's appearance, the two elders immediately understood, and their suspicions probably came true.
"Tell me, is that true? Who is this young man and what does he do?" Shen Tiancheng pushed up his glasses and asked with a smile.
Although I feel bad that my daughter may be abducted by others, it is better than dying at home, right?
He still understands the principle of choosing the lesser of two harms. Before Shen Yi came back, the two elders had discussed that this year, no matter what, they must let their daughter meet five boys before leaving. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise when she came back. .
If they really have a boyfriend, then they don't need to be so anxious.
"Don't interrupt, listen to the girl herself!" Shen Yi's mother, Sun Dan, glared at her old man and then looked at her daughter with burning eyes.
Faced with the pressure from her parents, she originally thought of finding an opportunity to talk to her elders, but she didn't expect to be discovered as soon as she got home. In order to prevent herself from falling into the fate of a blind date, Shen Yi thought she might as well do it. Anyway, she I wasn't prepared to hide it either.
Then he nodded.
Seeing this, the two old men breathed a sigh of relief, and actually felt a sense of relief. Their daughter had finally figured it out. She just knew how to be friends. Although money was good, she couldn't delay her marriage, right?
Otherwise, what's the use of making more money? Should it be burned after it dies?
"Come, tell Mom, who are you? Do you have any photos? How did you two meet and how long have you been together?" Sun Dan immediately started gossiping.
After all, my daughter is looking for a boyfriend. As a mother, she naturally has the right to know.
Shen Yi had no choice but to take out the photos of her and Su Qing from her phone.
Three minutes later.
"Hey, the young man looks very energetic!" Shen's mother nodded and commented.
Dad Shen: "Well, it's not bad, but he looks a bit young. My dear, how old is this young man?"
"No, 22, it will be 23 after the New Year!" Shen Yi replied with a guilty conscience.
After all, she felt a little unsure after finding such a younger brother.
Sure enough, the next second.
Dad Shen:→_→
Shen Ma:→_→
"Mom and Dad, what are your expressions like? What's wrong with you being younger? It's not like you're underage!"
Shen Yi, who really couldn't bear the strange looks from her parents, shouted, "Well, there's a bit of a broken voice. If Su Qing or the landlady and others were here, they would definitely find that Shen Yi was getting angry from embarrassment."
"Xiaoyi, your dad and we really want you to fall in love. It doesn't matter if you are older or younger, but is it appropriate to be so young?" Shen's mother said cautiously.
The reason for being cautious is mainly because they are worried that if they show opposition, what will happen to their daughter? If they just stop talking, there will be no place for them to cry.
After all, this is the first time in so many years that my daughter comes home and says that she is acting like a friend, so she can't give her no face at all.
"Well, your mother is right. Let me tell you first. Dad has no objection to this young man, as long as you like it. But dad is afraid that he is too young and has an unstable mind. If you are a few years younger, dad will not What have you said, you can get along slowly, but at your age, you can't delay it any longer. Next year, ahem, or the year after at most, the marriage must be completed. This is dad's bottom line.
You said he is only 23 after the Chinese New Year, and his character has not yet been decided, so how can he get married?"
Father Shen said weakly that the main reason was that his daughter was too independent-minded and financially capable. Apart from suppressing her in the name of her parents, they had no other option at all. They even asked her to get married next year. , the look in my daughter’s eyes changed completely to the year after tomorrow.
Of course, this is also the shadow that Shen Yi has left on them in the past few years. They finally have hope, and they dare not deny it directly. That's why Father Shen said that he has no objection to Su Qing before expressing his worries. , in order to stabilize his daughter's emotions. What if she sees that they don't agree and her daughter just stops talking?
After all, when Shen Yi came back for the Chinese New Year last year, Shen Yi's attitude was that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I will enjoy the blessings without children and grandchildren, not getting married, not having children, and having afternoon tea in the nursing home.
This idea almost scared the old couple to death.
Hearing this, Shen Yi sighed, knowing that Su Qing's age was a problem.
When they saw their daughter sighing, the couple's hearts suddenly rose to their throats. Just when they were about to say that being young was not a big problem, Shen Yi raised her arm, revealing the horseshoe gold bracelet on her upper wrist. The second elder shook his head and said:
"Although he is a bit young, I have collected all the family heirlooms. Why can't I return them just because he is young? This was given to me by his mother."
Hearing this, Father Shen suddenly became excited: "His mother gave it to you? Have you met your parents?"
Shen’s mother: “Jinjin Bracelet, you girl won’t have arranged the engagement without telling us, right?”
