Seeing Xu Wenjing's bookish father next to him, Zhou Yan suddenly realized that there was a certain bias in his understanding of the family.
And judging from Father Xu’s appearance, his identity is obviously not as simple as an old farmer in northern Shaanxi. Although he has passed the age of knowing his destiny, and his face is full of traces of time and hard work, there is still a trace between his eyebrows.
The pampering and pampering that I have enjoyed cannot be concealed.
Xu's mother looks like a typical northwest peasant woman, but after erasing the vicissitudes of time, this mother must have been a famous beauty from far and wide when she was young.
Considering the age of the two people, it is not difficult to come to the traditional conclusion: a combination of circumstances created by the times forced this pair of men and women who should have been incompatible with each other to become a harmonious couple.
The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman will naturally produce children whose appearance is not much different.
Although my brother-in-law is only fourteen or fifteen years old, he is still quite a handsome young man. After a little grooming and being brought into the city, he will definitely be a young young lady that everyone loves.
Classmate Feng Jun's sister-in-law is basically a mature and plump version of Xu Wenjing. Her life after marriage should be good. When she is thirty years old, she can still rely on "putty" and "paint" to make herself look five or six years younger.
As for classmate Feng Jun’s brother-in-law, Zhou Yan can only describe it in words...
My cousin's brother-in-law, with a "travelled" face, must be a civil servant who has been "tested by alcohol". From the moment he came into the yard, his eyes kept scanning the two high-end Wrangler vehicles.
Of course, that's all.
What made Zhou Yan feel uncomfortable was that when a group of people were chatting, the brother-in-law secretly glanced at Xu Wenjing from time to time, his eyes full of inexplicable meaning...
Is it true that half of my sister-in-law’s butt belongs to my brother-in-law?
However, Xu Wenjing's eyes have always been avoiding her brother-in-law. Even if she accidentally flirted with him, her eyes would still be full of disgust like eating flies...
Feng Jun, who was having fun with "Xi Shi", naturally didn't notice these micro-expressions and just introduced the two parties with a smile.
"My father, let the guests stand outside?
"Look at my brain, Xiao Feng, and this... Xiao Zhou, come into the house quickly..."
Zhou Yan smiled and handed the gift in his hand to his cousin's brother-in-law.
The general structure of Xu's cave dwelling should be similar to other cave dwellings in Zhou Yan's impression. "There is a door outside, and the rest is all dug."
As for the furnishings and decorations in the room, apart from the old-fashioned maroon cabinets and the New Year pictures on the wall, the most eye-catching ones are the certificates covering most of the wall: there are those for Sister Xu, one for Xu Wenjing, and one for Little Brother Xu.
of……
On the table in the main hall are the standard equipment for entertaining guests, including melon seeds, snacks and tea.
"Xiao Zhou, you're from a remote country and you don't have much to offer, so you're neglecting me!"
"Uncle Xu, you are so polite," Zhou Yan smiled and grabbed a handful of melon seeds that looked like they were grown at home, and put them in Qin Ruoshu's hand, "Our family celebrates the New Year with just these things. They are prepared by ourselves, so you can eat them with confidence."
…”
As soon as a group of people sat down, Xu Wenqing, the younger brother of the Xu family, brought an old-fashioned teapot and made tea for the group of people.
Zhou Yan lowered his head and smelled the aroma of tea, then smiled knowingly at his cousin who was sitting quietly with Xu Wen.
During the Chinese New Year, Zhou Yan prepared two kilograms of Anxin Shopping Mall's self-operated tea for all his relatives, while his second aunt's share had already been sent to his father-in-law's house by his cousin who had his elbow turned outward.
"Hey, Xiao Feng, didn't you go home during this long vacation?"
"No, I came from the school!"
After all, cousin Feng Jun was new to the world and did not hear the underlying message of apologizing to his father-in-law.
Zhou Yan, the old oil man, saw Father Xu looking at him and smiled slightly: "Before coming to the northwest, I was angry with my uncle, Feng Jun's father. He was really busy over there, so he asked me to represent him.
Come over for a visit first and make a stand, after all, the children of both families are about to talk about marriage..."
"Oh..." Father Xu nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Xu Wenjing, "I heard from my second daughter that Feng Jun's grandparents are quite strong."
Feng Jun wanted to answer, but he hesitated and pushed the question to Zhou Yan.
"The old man in my family used to farm. Later, when the family started a business and got rich, they gave up most of the family's grain fields. They usually grow vegetables and flowers."
"Then Feng Jun's father is usually very busy, right?"
"I do logistics and transportation, and sometimes I have to travel all over the country." Zhou Yan smiled naively, "My family has business in Yunzhong. After a while, my second uncle may come to visit me and say
It might bother me for a while."
"Xiao Zhou, you are too polite," Father Xu looked at Xu's mother with a smile, "As long as the in-laws don't think the conditions at home are difficult..."
"You are too kind..."
Father Xu laughed with him for a while, thought for a while, glanced at Xu Wenjing, who was sitting upright, and then at Feng Jun. He hesitated for a while, and finally sighed slightly.
"Xiao Zhou, to be honest, our family is not very optimistic about this marriage." Father Xu took a sip of tea and collected his thoughts, "Our family Wen Jing is really far behind Feng Jun.
Already."
"Uncle Xu, you are too polite!"
"I'm not being polite," Father Xu frowned, "My family knows our own affairs, and Wen Jing's mysophobia is something that not only outsiders, but even our own family can't tolerate."
Is this to expose one's shortcomings?
Zhou Yan couldn't answer the question, so he could only deal with it: "Doctors like to be clean. This is normal..."
"Actually," Mr. Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Wen Jing's problem has not been present since she was a child. When the girl was in the third year of junior high school, she accidentally fell into the septic tank in the village that had been in disrepair for a long time.
Nothing happened, but after being rescued..."
When Father Xu was telling a story, Zhou Yan listened and quietly paid attention to Xu Wenjing's brother-in-law. This brother-in-law was also listening to the story seriously, but Zhou Yan felt that this brother-in-law seemed to have swallowed a fly.
After the story was told, the cousin, who was in the scene, held his girlfriend's hand with great pity. However, the shocked cousin did not notice the trace of embarrassment in his girlfriend's eyes.
As the person involved, Zhou Yan naturally pretended to be compassionate: "It's been really difficult for Sister Jing these years..."
"Let him let go of the past..." On the side, Xu Wenjing's eldest sister quickly changed the subject, "Xiao Feng, you guys came here from the county town, right? You had a hard time on the road..."
"It's not bad..." Feng Jun was a little proud, "We set out from the clouds the day before yesterday. We crossed the desert and arrived at Jingbian first. We only arrived at Mizhi last night."
"Hey, Feng Jun," Xu Wenjing's brother-in-law also took the opportunity to join the conversation, "Are the two cars you drive Jeep Wranglers? I've seen it online, it's about half a million, right?"
"The car belongs to JEEP," Feng Jun nodded and glanced at Zhou Yan, who was sipping tea seriously, "I don't know the price, but Zhou Yan borrowed the car from a friend."
"Um..." Zhou Yan glanced at his cousin's brother-in-law, who was eagerly waiting for his answer, "The car is a Wrangler 3.8-liter Sahara four-door version, and the import price is 700,000..."
"By the way, Xiao Zhou, I forgot to ask, what is your occupation?"
"Student," Zhou Yan's answer was impeccable, "I am now a graduate student, and I usually do a little business."
"oh……"
Zhou Yan was a little surprised when he saw that the people sitting here seemed to believe what he said: Although Xu Wenjing didn't know how much property she had, she should know that Xinghan Group was her own property...
