Chapter 41 The rich son-in-law meets his mother-in-law
Update time:2012-06-14
Ren Shanshan was cleaning up the room at home, while Liu Jian drove around Shenyang, buying a lot of gifts, Shenyang-style tobacco and alcohol, clothes, etc., and filled the trunk with large and small bags. By noon, he even packed the back seat They were all stuff. There was no way Liu Jian had brought a lot with him when he came out, so he bought even more this time.
Before leaving, Liu Jian asked Ren Shanshan to call her home. Ren Shanshan didn't have a phone at home, so he called the small shop in the village to call her mother.
Hearing her mother's voice, Ren Shanshan almost burst into tears and said, "Mom, I'm Shanshan."
Ren's mother asked with concern: "Shanshan, what's the matter? Long distance is so expensive, why did you call me?"
Ren Shanshan held back her tears and said, "Mom, it's okay. I want to tell you that I will go back to celebrate the New Year this year."
Ren's mother asked excitedly: "Really? Shanshan, when you come back for the New Year, when will you get home and what do you want to eat, I will buy it for you."
Ren Shanshan shook her head and said, "No, Mom, we're leaving today. If we hurry, we'll be home tomorrow morning."
Ren's mother asked strangely: "Who are you with?"
Ren Shanshan said a little embarrassedly: "Mom, I have a boyfriend, let's go back together."
Ren's mother said: "Okay, okay, then you should be careful on the road. I'll tell your father. Oh, you didn't tell me earlier, and you didn't clean up the house. I won't tell you anymore. I'll go home." Clean up, it's your boyfriend's first time here, we want to leave a good impression."
After saying that, he hurriedly hung up. Ren Shanshan held the phone and couldn't help but smile. Why was her mother so anxious? There were still many things she hadn't told her. Liu Jian said from the side: "Okay, let's talk about it when we get home. By the way, this for you."
Liu Jian took out a mobile phone from a pocket and handed it to Ren Shanshan. Ren Shanshan said in surprise: "You bought me a mobile phone, I don't need it."
Liu Jian put his arms around Ren Shanshan and said, "Why don't you use it? From now on, we will talk on the phone every day. It will be troublesome without a mobile phone. And with it, you can tell me anything at any time."
Ren Shanshan smiled and nodded, leaning into Liu Jian's arms, feeling indescribably sweet.
After lunch, the two set off. Shenyang is indeed quite big. It took more than an hour to drive out of the city. Now Shenyang's outer ring road has not been repaired, so Liu Jian can only drive back and forth in the city. Fortunately, there are not many cars in this era, otherwise it would only take half a day to drive out of Shenyang.
Ren Shanshan looked at the things in the car and was a little dumbfounded. Liu Jian went out to buy some gifts for her family. She knew but did not expect that Liu Jian bought so much, from clothes to shoes and socks, from food to drinks, etc. A cart full of messy things.
Ren Shanshan was very moved and felt Liu Jian's sincerity. She said excitedly: "Xiao Jian, there is no need to buy so many things. Just buy less."
Liu Jian shook his head and said, "That's okay. You only go back once in so many years. You have to let your relatives and friends see that you are promising. And as my new uncle comes to visit you for the first time, I have to behave well."
Ren Shanshan nodded and said nothing, but her gratitude to Liu Jian remained deep in her heart. She secretly swore that she would treat Liu Jian well in her life. Apart from her parents, he was the best person to her, and he would also be the best person in her life. An important person.
Liu Jian didn't drive very fast. Fortunately, the section from Shenyang to Beijing was on a highway. There was no delay on the way. It took more than six hours to arrive at Shanhaiguan. The two of them didn't get off the highway. Liu Jian prepared a lot of food. They ate some casually and continued on their way.
, arrived in Tianjin at around ten o'clock in the evening, Liu Jian stopped driving. He was too tired and drove alone. Fortunately, there was a beautiful woman next to him, otherwise Liu Jian would not have been able to drive for more than ten hours in a row. This was not a tourist but a suffering.
.
The two found a hotel in Tianjin, had a few bites, and checked in. The next morning, the two ate steamed buns at Goubuli. Liu Jian knew that to eat these snacks, he had to go to an old restaurant, which was good.
Liu Jian's appetite was satisfied and he made more than ten. The authentic Goubuli was indeed much better than the buns at the train station.
In Tianjin, Liu Jian bought some preserved fruits and Tianjin's 18th Street Mahua. These are Tianjin's specialties. These are all for Ren Shanshan's face. Ren Shanshan didn't say anything, but she was very happy in her heart, which showed that Liu Jian really cared about her.
In my heart, this is not just for fun. After all, no one would spend so much on a woman who has a romantic relationship.
Ren Shanshan's home is in Sanlipu, an ancient town under Dingxing County, Baoding City, a small village. It is a very poor place in Hebei Province with a large population, little land.
At noon, Liu Jian drove into Baoding City. Under Ren Shanshan's guidance, he drove towards Dingxing County. When he left Dingxing County, the road was very broken. When he left the ancient town, it was all dirt roads.
, when we were about to reach Sanlipu, the road was very bumpy. Liu Jian drove carefully. It was a new car after all. Liu Jian also regretted that he had known that the sign was coming. If he went back with two scratches like this, his father would not be so distressed.
When I entered the village, it caused a sensation. Sanlipu is one of the poorest villages in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages. In so many years, only Ren Shanshan has been admitted to university, and she went to school in Shenyang, the provincial capital of Liaoning. The day she left, the whole village
Many people came to see her off, and many people regarded her as their hope and their child. Many families in the village raised much of the first-year tuition fees.
Ren Shanshan did not disappoint them. Although she never came back after leaving, she still sent money to her family every year, and she never asked for a penny from her family since the first year. Yesterday, Ren Shanshan received a call and asked her to
Ren Shanshan told the villagers that she was bringing her boyfriend back. Many people were waiting at the entrance of the village early this morning, and the crowd did not disperse until almost noon.
Unexpectedly, the crowd dispersed, and Ren Shanshan came back in a car. The children in the village jumped behind the car. Liu Jian drove carefully. The roads in the village were relatively narrow. After a while, the car had not arrived at Ren Shanshan's home.
Ren Shanshan's parents came out to greet her at the door. They could walk faster than the car, so one can imagine how bad the road conditions were.
When Ren Shanshan saw her parents, she couldn't help but open the door and get out of the car, and immediately threw herself into Ren's mother's arms. Her tears couldn't stop flowing. Liu Jian, under the command of Ren's father, parked the car at the door of Ren's house and got out of the car.
After getting out of the car, I saw Ren Shanshan walking over holding Ren's mother's hand.
Ren Shanshan blushed and introduced: "Mom and Dad, this is my boyfriend, his name is Liu Jian."
Liu Jian hurriedly said: "Uncle, aunt, hello, I am Liu Jian, and I am Shanshan's boyfriend."
Ren's father was an honest farmer. He nodded and said nothing, but Ren's mother kept looking at Liu Jian. They all said that the mother-in-law became more and more proud of her son-in-law, and the same was true for Ren's mother. Liu Jian was nearly 1.8 meters tall.
Wearing brand-name clothes, a quick look revealed that he was from the city, and he drove a car, which naturally made Ren's mother very satisfied.
Liu Jian opened the trunk, took out a bag of candy and distributed it to the children around him. The children jumped up and down with joy. The crowd around them not only did not disperse, but grew more and more. Liu Jian said to Ren Shanshan: "Shanshan,
You ask Auntie to find a place and I will take the gift in."
Ren Shanshan nodded and whispered to Ren's mother. Ren's eyes lit up and she greeted a few neighbors and told Liu Jian to unload the things on the car. This time, everyone around them looked at her with envy.
There are all kinds of clothes, tobacco and alcohol, food, gift boxes, and the most exaggerated thing is that there is a TV set in the back. Liu Jian mentioned this on the way that he bought it in Tianjin when he heard that Ren Shanshan’s family only had a black and white TV.
.The surrounding neighbors, whether they could help or not, gathered around here, and a few followed them into the house to watch the new TV. While they were busy, a girl in a white shirt ran out.
Ren Shanshan shouted: "Yingying." After saying that, she hugged the little girl.
Liu Jian knew that this was Ren Shanshan's sister. She was in her senior year of high school and was going to college this year. The reason why Ren Shanshan decided to take that path was probably because she wanted to give her sister a good start. Otherwise, the tuition fees and living expenses would continue to rise.
This will lead to various twists and turns in Ren Yingying's schooling journey.
Ren Yingying also looked at Liu Jian curiously and asked, "Are you my future brother-in-law?"
Liu Jian nodded and smiled and said: "Yes, you are Yingying, right? Your sister praises you in front of me all the time, saying that you study very well and that you are a promising candidate from Tsinghua University and Peking University in the college entrance examination. How do you feel confident?"
Ren Yingying snorted and said, "Of course, but why do you have the same attitude as my teacher and love to educate people whenever you talk?"
Ren's mother angrily gave Ren Yingying a slap in the face and said, "Go, crazy girl, what are you talking about? Xiaojian, let me call you that."
Liu Jian nodded hurriedly and said: "Aunt, you're welcome, you can call me whatever you want."
Ren's mother smiled and nodded and said, "Let's go, Xiaojian, quickly go into the house and stop standing at the door. Shanshan is the same child. She didn't tell me earlier. When you come back, the house is not cleaned up."
Liu Jian smiled and said, "Aunt, I'm not an outsider." After saying that, he followed Ren's mother into the yard of Ren's family.
Ren Shanshan's house is an old mud house with three rooms. There is a date tree in the yard, and they also raise a pig and a few chickens. The yard is now full of people. Liu Jian kept following Ren's mother's introductions.
After greeting these relatives and friends, Liu Jian didn't remember a few people when he entered the house. There were too many people.
The ground floor of the east room was filled with various gifts bought by Liu Jian, and the TV was prominently placed on the kang. Liu Jian found that there was almost no place to put his feet in the room, so he had to sit down by the kang with his buttocks bent.
Bring the peanuts, melon seeds, candies, etc. that have been prepared long ago.
Ren's father lit up a dry cigarette and smoked it. He sat on the edge of the kang and said nothing. Liu Jian quickly took out the cigarettes he bought and lit one for Ren's father.
Father Ren took it and took a puff, his eyes lit up and he said, "These cigarettes are pretty good. They cost a few yuan a pack."
Ren Shanshan said hurriedly from the side: "Dad, this is the Zhonghua that Xiaojian bought specially for you. Now it costs thirty yuan a box."
Ren's father's hands trembled and he was almost burned by the cigarette. He said in surprise: "How much? Thirty yuan a box?"
Ren Shanshan nodded, and the way Ren's mother looked at Liu Jian changed even more. Liu Jian bought so many things, and Ren's mother fell in love with the big TV. She really didn't know how much other things cost. When Ren Shanshan said thirty
A pack of cigarettes costs 1 yuan, so other things are definitely not cheap either. I secretly asked Ren Shanshan and found out that those clothes cost more than 100 yuan each.
Several relatives of Ren Shanshan's family came in. Ren's father gave each of them a cigarette and emphasized: "My uncle bought this for thirty yuan a box." Everyone heard that it was thirty yuan a box.
When I was there, my eyes were bright. I was holding a cigarette and wondered whether it was better to smoke or not. Some people started asking Liu Jian what he did at home.
Still, Ren Shanshan couldn't stand it and said, "Mom, let Liu Jian go to the West Room to rest for a while. He has been driving all morning."
Ren's mother hurriedly said: "Okay, then go and lie down for a while, and I'll prepare the meal."
Liu Jian couldn't resist these relatives of Ren Shanshan's family, so he followed Ren Shanshan to the west room, lay down on the kang, stretched his body, stretched out his hand to pull Ren Shanshan into his arms, Ren Shanshan was startled and said: "No, parents
It’s right next door.”
Liu Jian smiled and said, "I know, I just want to hug you. Shanshan, there are so many people coming to your house, I think it's better to have a banquet. I'll give you two thousand yuan, and you can find some people to buy some food and drinks."
, borrow some tables and chairs to entertain these relatives and friends. You also said that you were able to pass the exam and go to college. Thanks to everyone's help, forget it if you haven't come back these years. Now that you are back, you must thank everyone."
Ren Shanshan leaned into Liu Jian's arms, becoming softer and softer, and whispered: "Thank you, Xiao Jian, I really don't know how to thank you."
Liu Jian smiled and patted Ren Shanshan on the shoulder and said, "Do you still want to be polite to me? Okay, hurry up and tell people to buy things. It doesn't matter if you buy more. If you can borrow some tables, just invite the whole village.
Your parents are fighting for face."
Ren Shanshan nodded and whispered: "Xiao Jian, please rest for a while. I'll go out to work first and I'll be with you later."
Liu Jian nodded and lay on the kang, not wanting to move. After driving for such a long time, he was really tired and unbearable.
