Since Hu Yuejin became the deputy mayor, he has been very busy with work. He was widowed long ago and has never remarried, but there is no one at home to take care of him, so he took over his aunt from his hometown. The old man is in his sixties this year.
, my body and mind are in good shape, and I can do more than enough to help with household chores, buy groceries, cook and so on.
Hu Rong came to the door of the house, and as soon as she took out the key, the door opened. Her aunt, wearing an apron, said with a smile: "Rong Rong is back, come in quickly, the food is ready."
Hu Rong went into the foyer and changed into slippers. She found a lot of gift boxes placed in the corner and complained: "Grandma, you are accepting gifts from others again."
My aunt said: "Rong Rong, my aunt knows very well what can be accepted and what cannot be accepted. These are all gifts sent by your father's old friends and old comrades. This face must be given to others."
"Where's my dad?"
"We have a meeting at the city hall. Let's eat first without waiting for him."
The meal was ready, including several exquisite home-cooked dishes and a pot of millet porridge. The food at home tasted delicious. My aunt looked at Hu Rong kindly holding a big bowl of porridge and suddenly asked with a smile: "Rong Rong, what?"
It’s time to take your boyfriend home and let grandma take a look.”
Hu Rong put down the bowl, wiped the millet paste from the corner of her mouth and said, "Grandma, what are you talking about? Where is it?"
My aunt said: "Rong Rong, you are not young anymore. The daughters who are about the same age as you in the countryside have all given birth to babies. Don't be anxious. Grandma is anxious to hold her great-grandson. Hurry up and bring him to your father to see him."
By the way, let grandma help you look at each other."
Hu Rong pretended to be angry and said: "Grandma, if you are like this, I won't eat."
My aunt smiled and said, "Okay, grandma won't say anything anymore."
But he still said: "In our countryside, during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, the son-in-law has to carry eight pieces of food to meet his father-in-law, eight chickens, eight fish, eight pounds of pork, eight bottles of wine, eight sticks of cigarettes...
…”
"Oh my god, if it were live chickens and live fish, wouldn't it be a big hassle?" Hu Rong heard this interestingly and interjected.
"It's not a live chicken or a fish, how can it be done dead? The two major festivals that we Chinese value most, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival, are all used to visit relatives and friends during these days."
"Oh." Hu Rong held her cheek and fell into deep thought. Suddenly she ran upstairs, changed her clothes and came down. She picked out a few gifts in the hall, held them in her hands, and shouted: "Grandma, I'm going out for a kiss."
Visiting friends."
My aunt chased her out and shouted, "Girl, I haven't finished eating yet."
"I'm not going to eat, let's go." Hu Rong threw the gift box into the back seat, got in the car, stepped on the accelerator and left. My aunt stood at the door and waved her hand, and suddenly realized: "This girl, she started to post it before she even got out of the house.
.”
…
Zhicheng Garden. Liu Ziguang's house, at the dinner table, my mother kept nagging: "Xiaoguang, you are now a grown man. You don't know what to do outside all day long. We have a house and money.
It’s just time to hold your grandson. Don’t be in a hurry. Your dad and I can’t wait. While our old arms and legs can still move, we have children who can help you keep an eye on it. By the way, is there any news about Nurse Xiao Fang recently? "
Liu Ziguang kept his head down while eating: "Mom, don't worry, it's not easy to find a daughter-in-law. You can't rush this matter, it has to be done naturally."
My mother said: "You are already thirty, can you not be anxious? Look at your classmates. Their children are all in kindergarten, but you are still single. How about you get a prospective daughter-in-law to come in and let us see it?"
.”
Just as she was talking, the doorbell rang, and my mother stood up and said, "We have a visitor, maybe it's our neighbor Sister Zhang."
After saying that, he went to open the door. When he opened the door, he saw a familiar face. The little girl was very young, with a flushed face. She was wearing a pink blouse with lace trim, a plaid skirt of wool, and suede boots.
, looks youthful, lively and cute, and more importantly, she is carrying a lot of gifts in her hands, all of which are high-end supplements such as ginseng and bird's nest.
"Son, did you go to the wrong door?" Mom asked hesitantly.
"Yes, I am Hu Rong, hello, aunt, you don't recognize me." The girl was polite and generous, and her mother's eyes immediately turned into crescent moons when she smiled.
"Oh my child, what are you talking about? I don't even recognize you. Come in, come in, why are you bringing something? See you outside. Sit down quickly. I'll pour you some tea and peel some fruit. Xiaoguang, your friend is here.
Come out quickly."
Liu Ziguang came out of the restaurant with half a piece of steamed bun. When he saw that the girl sitting on the sofa was Hu Rong, and the dashing female police officer dressed up like a lady, he was shocked: "Hu Rong, why are you here?"
"Why, I can't come?" Hu Rong said carelessly, with a proud look on her face.
Mom came out with a tea tray and said, "Xiao Hu drinks tea and eats fruit."
Hu Rong responded very sweetly: "Thank you, auntie."
Liu Ziguang said: "Hu Rong, this is my reply. Your makeup detection skills are indeed top-notch. What you look like today is not like your normal self."
Hu Rong smiled and ignored him, but started chatting with her mother: "Auntie, how are you? Are you still at work?"
My mother answered with a smile, but put Liu Ziguang aside. After chatting for a while, my mother suddenly asked as if she remembered something: "Xiao Hu, how long have you known our Xiaoguang?"
Hu Rong said: "It's early. I've known Liu Ziguang since I was an intern at the police station. It's been almost two years now."
Mom said: "It's been two years since Xiao Guang came back. Xiao Hu, your father seems to be the leader of the Public Security Bureau."
Hu Rong said openly: "After my father joined the Political and Legal Committee, he no longer took charge of the daily work of the Public Security Bureau. Now he mainly works in the city and is busy all day long. I have just come back. This time
I went to Hong Kong with Liu Ziguang to perform a mission, and we worked very well together. By the way, aunt, you didn’t know, but Liu Ziguang was transferred to the Public Security Bureau, and he was in the Second Criminal Police Brigade, and he was my partner."
"Really?" Mom said and glared at Liu Ziguang, blaming her for not telling her family about such a big thing.
Liu Ziguang was so angry. Hu Rong kept talking about cheating, but he couldn't refute her, so he could only say perfunctorily: "What, it's just a temporary help."
Just as he was talking, there was the sound of a key unlocking at the door of the room, followed by a loud laugh: "Sister-in-law, look what I brought you."
It was his father who accompanied Lu Tianming back. Factory Manager Lu was still carrying two big fishes in his hands. His mother quickly took them and sent them to the kitchen, complaining: "Come here as soon as you come, and you still need to buy something."
Lu Tianming smiled and said: "I didn't buy it, I fished it in the river."
Liu Ziguang wondered: "Uncle Ming has been very leisurely recently? He actually went fishing on the river."
Lu Tianming said: "This is also work. Let's talk about it later. Hey, this little girl is very unfamiliar. She is..."
Hu Rong stood up generously and said, "Hello, uncle, hello, uncle. My name is Hu Rong, and I am Liu Ziguang's friend." She turned to Liu Ziguang and said, "Liu Ziguang, you haven't shown me around your room yet."
Liu Ziguang had no choice but to lead Hu Rong to his room. As soon as they left, whispers came from the living room: "Who is this girl?"
"Old man, what's your memory? This is Xiao Hu from the police station."
"Ah, it's Officer Hu. She has changed her appearance and dare not recognize her. Why is she here?"
"Ask your son."
Lu Tianming interrupted: "Is it Hu Rong from the Second Criminal Police Brigade of the Municipal Bureau?"
Mom said: "Yes, it seems she said she was in the second brigade."
Lu Tianming said: "This girl is very special. She is a well-known iron-blooded detective in our city. Although her father is the deputy mayor, this child does not have the squeamishness and arrogance of a prostitute at all. She is often the first to solve cases.
Wire."
The mother was shocked: "On the front line? Doesn't that mean you don't have time to give birth to children and take care of the family?"
Lu Tianming said: "Of course, being a criminal police officer is the hardest work. You have to run around three hundred days a year and deal with criminals all day long. It's very dangerous."
Mom was thoughtful and suddenly asked: "Tianming, has there been any response from the girl you introduced to Xiaoguang last time?"
Lu Tianming said: "They already knew each other. I just built a bridge. In this era, young people feel that they are together as soon as they meet each other, so there is no need for us to worry."
Just as he was talking, the doorbell rang again. My mother went over to open the door and saw that it was Li Wan and Wei Ziqian who came to the door carrying a bunch of gifts.
"Xiao Li and Xiao Wei are here, come in quickly, come as soon as you come, and bring something with you." My mother was overjoyed and hurriedly invited the guests into the house.
Wei Ziqian felt embarrassed when he saw Lu Tianming sitting on the sofa, but he still smiled and said hello and put the mooncake box on the coffee table.
With so many people sitting there, the living room seemed a little small. Everyone was humbly giving way to each other. As soon as they sat down, Hu Rong walked out of Liu Ziguang's room.
Seeing a strange and beautiful girl coming out of Liu Ziguang's room, Li Wan just had a flash of doubt, then returned to normal, and asked with a smile: "Liu Ziguang, you don't introduce me to your friend when he comes."
Liu Ziguang said: "This is Officer Hu Ronghu from the Second Criminal Police Brigade, and these two are Li Wan and Wei Ziqian from the Zhicheng Group."
Hu Rong generously stretched out her hand to Li Wan and Wei Ziqian, shook it gently, and said, "Hello, take a seat." It felt like she was the hostess of the house.
Liu Ziguang breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought there would be a quarrel, but he didn't know that there was not even a glance. The women were polite and showed their true nature as ladies. Each one was more polite than the other.
Li Wan said, "Sit down, I'll go to the kitchen and cut some fruit for you." Then he walked into the kitchen in a familiar way, picked up the apron hanging behind the door, tied it on, and started washing the fruits, chopping boards and kitchen knives.
Hu Rong was frustrated and simply left. She looked at her phone and said, "Oh, I have to go to the team for a meeting. I'm leaving now. See you, uncle and aunt." Then she nodded to Wei Ziqian: "You guys take your time and play."
Li Wan came out of the kitchen and said, "Let's go and play some more."
She said polite words, but her eyes showed that she was leaving. Hu Rong did not show any weakness and waved to Liu Ziguang: "Don't forget, we agreed." Then she said goodbye to everyone again.
He jumped away.
Liu Ziguang scratched his head: "Why don't I know what was agreed upon?"
Li Wan and Wei Ziqian sat for a while and then left. When Liu Ziguang went to see them off, Lu Tianming said, "Sister-in-law, that girl is the girlfriend I introduced to Xiaoguang. What do you think?"
Mom said: "Who do I think she is? It turns out to be Assistant Wei. This girl is pretty good. She has a master's degree and a good job. I think she can do it."
Lu Tianming said: "Then let Xiaoguang hold on tight. Young people should be focused, and it is not good to be spoiled for choice."
Just as he was talking, Liu Ziguang came in: "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing. I'm leaving now. Come to my office tomorrow and talk to you if I have anything to do." Lu Tianming picked up his clothes and left, and the family finally returned to peace.
"Well, I went out and won't be back for my night shift." After a while, Liu Ziguang also left. He said he was on duty at the company, but actually he went to find Li Wan to explain.
Only the old couple were left at home, and my mother started nagging: "Oh, what should I do? I think these little girls are good, which one should I choose?"
Dad said: "I usually complain that I can't find a daughter-in-law, but now there are three of them. I'm dumbfounded. Your son is so good, how can he not find a wife? What's the matter, you're spoiled for choice. I'll teach you a trick, pick a daughter-in-law.
Their shortcomings."
My mother began to make calculations: "Xiao Wei has a good diploma and a good job, but he has bad body bones, a thin waist, a flat front and a flat back. He may not be able to have children in the future. That girl Hu Rong is much better. I think
In the future, you won’t even have to buy milk powder. Now the quality of baby milk powder is not good, which is a big advantage, but the job is not good, and being a police officer is so dangerous."
Dad said: "I heard that her father is the deputy mayor, so it won't be difficult to switch jobs."
Mom said: "One more thing, we are not trying to climb high. If we find such a high-ranking official as our in-law, we will not be comfortable, and Xiaoguang will not have a good life in the future."
"Hey, Mr. Li is actually not a bad person, but he is afraid that we, Xiaoguang, will be wronged if we have a child." My mother was silent for a while, and then sighed.
"After all, you're still not satisfied," Dad said.
"Who said it? What I am most satisfied with is Xiaofang. That child is really kind, polite, and independent-minded. He is deeply devoted to our Xiaoguang. In the past, our family was poor and not worthy of their family, but now we are rich too.
Xiaoguang's career is considered successful, and he earns tens of thousands of dollars a month from miscellaneous things. Alas, when will Fang Fei come back?"
