Chen Yi came to the door of his girlfriend's house and was surprised to see his girlfriend and her mother carrying bags and suitcases just coming out of the house.
Chen Yi got off the battery car in confusion, quickly parked the battery car, stepped forward quickly, and while helping to get the suitcase, asked: "Xiaoqin, what are you doing?"
The suitcase was originally held by his girlfriend Huang Qin, but now it was held in Chen Yi's hand.
Huang Qin smiled shyly and explained softly: "I told you last time, I originally planned to go to Shanghai to work on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, but today a relative of mine happened to be driving to the city, and my mother had already gone with him
We agreed to let me take his ride and take me to the city train station. I'm sorry, this is something we just agreed on this morning and I haven't had time to tell you yet."
Chen Yi: "???"
What is this thing called?
You asked me to come to pay New Year greetings today, but you want to leave now, or go to a place as far away as the devil's capital, so why should I pay New Year's greetings? Are you going to look at your parents and your mother with big eyes?
He felt very depressed, but in order to get married, he could only force out a smile at this time and said something against his will, "Oh, that's it, it's okay! I can understand, by the way, where is your relative's car? It's not here yet?"
"
He hadn't seen the car yet, which was a little bit gratifying for him.
Because this way he could at least talk to her for a while and deepen his relationship.
They only met a few years ago and had only two dates. Although he could tell that she liked him, but... it would definitely be better to seize the time to deepen their relationship!
Unfortunately, at this moment, his mother-in-law-to-be had something to tell him.
Huang Qin's mother stopped, frowned, and carefully considered her words to ask Chen Yi, "Hey, by the way, Xiao Chen, you see Xiao Qin will be leaving soon. When she goes to work in Magic City, what will happen to the two of you?"
I'm afraid it won't be possible to talk face to face, so can I ask you a few questions?"
Chen Yi was caught off guard and was a little curious about what his mother-in-law-to-be was going to ask.
He quickly straightened his expression, showed an attitude towards the school leaders, bowed slightly and smiled, "Auntie, please ask! I promise to answer seriously."
Huang Qin's mother nodded, her brows still furrowed, "Well, I heard that your family's conditions are not very good, and I won't embarrass you. If you really want to marry my daughter, can you buy a house? I
I don’t want you to buy it in the county seat. The houses in our town in Shigu only cost a few hundred thousand, so how about it? Can you buy it?"
Chen Yi smiled bitterly in his heart.
It's too soon to talk about the house issue so soon.
However, he still nodded, "Yes! Auntie, I can buy a set."
He didn't lie.
His two previous girlfriends wanted him to buy a house in the county, so he only had enough money for the down payment.
However, if he just buys a set in Shigu Town, his money is almost enough to buy a set in full, and he can only buy it in full, and cannot get a loan!
Because the houses in the town are all houses with small property rights, if you can't get the real estate certificate, you can't get a loan from the bank.
Fortunately, the total price is not high and he can afford it.
Huang Qin and her mother both smiled when Chen Yi said they could buy it.
When Chen Yi saw them smiling, he felt relieved and had a smile on his face. With his mood relaxed, he decided to show his candid attitude again. He felt that being more candid would give them more favor.
He smiled and said: "However, the house in the town must be paid in full. In this case, I can afford the house, but I may not have the money for decoration, betrothal gifts, etc. for the time being. Auntie, please
Let’s see if we can let Xiaoqin wait for me for another two years. When I save enough money for decoration, and then borrow some money from others, it will be okay for Xiaoqin and I to get married.”
People who read a lot of books often lack worldly sophistication and insight.
Known as a "nerd" by many people.
Chen Yi has always prided himself on not lying and being upright.
Although he has been in love many times,... each time they did not last long, and the number of times he met his prospective mother-in-law was even less.
It can be said that he basically has no experience in how to please his prospective mother-in-law.
This is not...
As his frank words came out, Huang Qin and her mother looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces disappeared.
Just at this moment, a red Nissan Tiida drove up and stopped in front of them.
The driver's seat window slowly lowered, revealing the old face of a middle-aged thin man, who said to Huang Qin: "Hey, Xiaoqin! Get in the car! Put the box in my trunk first."
Chen Yi may be a bit stupid as a person, but he is not stupid.
Seeing the smiles disappear from the faces of Huang Qin and her mother, his heart sank, realizing that his honesty might have the opposite effect.
Immediately, she quickly retrieved the words, "Auntie, please believe me, I really like Xiaoqin. I promise to buy a house and save money to marry Xiaoqin as soon as possible..."
Before he could finish his words, Huang Qin's mother waved her hand and interrupted, "Forget it, Xiao Chen, let's stop talking about it for now! It's time for Xiao Qin. Look, my relatives' cars are here, come on!"
You give me Xiaoqin's suitcase, and I'll help Xiaoqin get it into the car."
Chen Yi quickly took the suitcase and went to the trunk of the Tiida car, "Auntie, I'll do it! I'll do it! I'll do it!"
He was so fast that Huang Qin's mother couldn't catch him.
He succeeded.
He successfully put his girlfriend Huang Qin's suitcase into the Tiida's trunk.
When he returned to the car door, Huang Qin and her mother had already sat in the car. Chen Yi wanted to continue to show off, "Auntie, can you sit a little further inside? I'll take Xiaoqin to the train station too!"
"No, no, no!"
Huang Qin's mother quickly stretched out her hand to stop her, "Just let me deliver Xiaoqin to you. You should go about your business!"
Chen Yi: "Auntie, I have nothing to do today, so I'd better give it away too!"
Huang Qin's mother blocked him from getting into the car with one hand, and opened the door with the other hand, and said quickly: "No need really! You see you went to the city with us, and you will need to take a taxi back later.
, it’s too much trouble, so don’t go!”
Seeing that his mother-in-law had this attitude, Chen Yi became even more anxious, "Auntie, it's okay! It's not troublesome!"
Huang Qin's mother frowned, "No, no! We appreciate your kindness, okay? Xiaoqin is in a hurry, so don't delay us, okay?"
As she spoke, her hands began to push Chen Yi away.
Chen Yi felt extremely helpless and looked for help at his girlfriend Huang Qin who was sitting next to his mother-in-law-to-be.
Huang Qin squeezed out a smile and said softly: "You'd better go back first! Can we contact you later? Let's call him."
Her smile was too forced.
Falling in Chen Yi's eyes, his heart sank to the bottom. He had seen such expressions from his previous girlfriends, always when they were about to break up.
However, no matter how unwilling he was, how could he force his way into the car even though the mother and daughter had this attitude? He was a teacher after all, and he also wanted to be shameless.
Nodding, forcing out a smile, "Okay! I wish you a safe journey!"
The mother-in-law-to-be gave him a roll of her eyes, and Huang Qin squeezed out a smile and said goodbye to him softly.
The car door closed and the red Tiida disappeared.
Chen Yi stood alone on the roadside, looking at the car's butt in the distance, feeling complicated in his heart.
He already had a premonition that he would receive a breakup text message soon.
It seems that he was broken up by his prospective mother-in-law this time.
He lowered his head and took out the cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and let some people on the roadside who had just watched the excitement continue to laugh at his jokes. He suddenly remembered that before the school holiday years ago, the dean of Zhulin Middle School in Zhulin Township personally gave him a gift.
That invitation letter.
If you work at Zhulin Middle School, you can get an apartment.
Originally, he had not considered this option. After all, the conditions and admission rate of Shigu Middle School were much better than those of Zhulin Middle School. He also heard that students of Zhulin Middle School often beat their teachers.
But now...
Regardless of whether he and Huang Qin would break up, he still wanted to go to Zhulin Middle School.
Being broken up over and over again over the years has made him realize the reality - it is basically impossible to get married these days without owning a house.
And he is not young anymore and cannot afford to delay it.
