The car drove smoothly to my aunt's house. Zhou Haitao was sitting in the passenger seat. He glanced back from time to time and finally reluctantly admitted that this social figure's face matched his sister very well.
The temperament...the temperament is just okay, just okay.
Looking at his own father who talks to Xie Yan from time to time and then smiles from ear to ear, brother Haitao is still dissatisfied.
Just because you have a good-looking face doesn't mean you have good character.
He felt that he could not let his father be deceived by this member of society!
Thinking about it, I haven’t seen them during this semester of school!
When we go on a date, we can’t even go to dinner together. Is this really a job?
How can any unit be so busy?
In other words, he deceived a simple and kind-hearted person like his sister into becoming his girlfriend. How would any ordinary girl be willing to do that?
The guy in their dormitory said he wanted to be his brother-in-law, and within two months he had a girlfriend. He asked after her every day, and either occupied a seat or brought hot water and food...
snort!
This thank you is just because I look better.
…
After thinking about it, the sincere brother Haitao finally reluctantly added in his heart——
Although, it looks a bit more reliable than the animals in his dormitory.
In order to break the good impression in his father's eyes, he turned his head, smiled and prepared to open his mouth.
Unexpectedly, at this time, I was stuck by the title again.
What's his name? If you call him by his first name, don't think too much, his father will first say that he is rude.
But if you call me brother...why?
He hasn't even admitted it yet!
So as soon as the words came out——
"Brother Xie, I heard that you are very busy at work. If you come here with my sister during the Chinese New Year, will it delay your work? Does your family have any objections?"
Xie Yan's eyes lit up and he glanced at Brother Haitao appreciatively.
…
He thought to himself: No wonder Weiwei feels so sorry for him and sends him so many study materials... This kid is indeed on the right track!
He was worried that he couldn't find a topic to talk about, so as to draw out his family's appreciation for Weiwei.
Look at the uncle who is driving. Although his expression cannot be seen at the moment, there is no doubt that he is listening.
So he quickly spoke:
"It's not that I can't squeeze out any time. The main reason is that the project is somewhat confidential and it's not easy to come out often."
"In addition, I am now starting a business with my mentor and the whole team, so I am definitely a little busier. I have really wronged Weiwei over the past year."
Saying that, he took advantage of the opportunity to hold Weiwei's hand.
——In this way, it always seems natural? It’s not so deliberate, right?
Has he been thinking about it for a long time? But Weiwei always feels a little embarrassed in front of her relatives.
Ding Wei raised her eyes and looked at Xie Xiuer, and said to herself: In fact, I was used to being alone in my previous life. Now it feels good to have such a relationship as a transition.
Otherwise, we would have to stick together every day from the beginning? She was really not sure if she would be able to bear it.
However, of course, a wise man should hide his words.
So he shook his head back to show his encouragement.
…
Xie Yan obviously felt it, so he became more energetic.
Just listen to him continue:
"As for my parents, they have met Weiwei and they like her very much. They wish we could become a family immediately... But I am so busy at work? My parents also feel ashamed of Weiwei. No, they will have a few more days off during the Chinese New Year.
, they were so busy that they rushed me over to accompany Weiwei."
Having said this, he pretended to mention casually:
"Those things in the trunk? They were all prepared by my parents. I don't have much experience, so just listen to Weiwei."
Is it really a perfect answer? I don’t know how long I have been preparing for this.
Ding Wei looked at him and said to herself: We have been apart for three days, and we should really look at each other with new eyes.
Who would have thought? Xie Xiuer’s thoughts would be used in such a place? It’s actually quite right!
Look at the uncle in front of you again. Just hearing that burst of satisfied laughter, you can tell what the other person is thinking.
Generally, older men don't care about so many details, but my uncle Zhou Lei is a leader and has a good grasp of people's thoughts.
Listen to what Xie Yan said about family relationships, parents' attitude, and his own attitude...it's all in place.
He is a grown man, and he is not that sensitive to the man's family conditions, but what matters most is his attitude.
On this point, Xie Yan obviously passed the test with full marks.
…
Jiangzhou is not a big city, and it has not yet reached the point of traffic jams even in small towns. It only takes about ten minutes to drive from the train station to get home.
When the group of people arrived at the aunt's house on the third floor, they opened the door and were greeted by warm air.
It can be seen that in order to welcome this special guest, the air conditioner and electric heater were all turned on.
The food on the table was also well prepared, and the aunt was obviously very sincere.
It was obviously to make up for the shortcomings of Ding Wei's parents and show their serious attitude.
Facing the open door, there was Aunt Ding Wei standing inside to warmly welcome guests——
"Auntie, do you want to change your shoes?"
Xie Yan stood at the door and smiled sweetly.
…
No aunt can resist Xie Xiuer's smile.
Ding Wei:!!!
She glanced at her boyfriend without words, and finally realized that Xiuer's stability for more than a year was not really stable, but because she had no room to display her hidden talents.
This is similar to when I asked Zhang Chengliang, "Do you really want to treat us?"
There are different approaches but the same effect.
It's just that "aunt" is so sweet...
I saw Zhou Haitao glaring angrily from behind, but the aunt who opened the door was already intoxicated.
She looked at this overly thin young man with distress, and hurriedly welcomed him into the room while saying:
"What shoes should I change? If I don't want to change my shoes, I won't change them! When I come to my aunt's house, I feel like one of my own family, so I don't need to change my shoes!"
At the same time, he also greeted Zhou Haitao, who had also just entered the door:
"Haitao, why are you blocking the door? Give it to you quickly, you..."
"Aunt, his name is Xie Yan." Ding Wei quickly introduced.
After saying this, I realized that she was called aunt, what kind of aunt was she?
Mouthful.
Fortunately, the second aunt is not here today, otherwise the separation of closeness and distance would be too obvious.
…
The aunt didn't pay attention to these details. She just continued what she had just said to Zhou Haitao smoothly: "...I'll pour tea for your little Brother Xie."
At the same time, she asked enthusiastically: "Are you cold? Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I can make it for you..."
The enthusiasm was so high and the attitude changed so quickly that even Ding Wei could only retreat for a moment.
Turning around again, the aunt felt sorry for the child because he worked so hard that he was so thin.
While also complaining about Ding Wei:
"You girl, you don't even know how to take care of Xiao Xie. Xiao Xie works overtime every day, why don't you give him some food if you have nothing to do!"
"It's so pitiful that someone so big and tall can be so skinny..."
Ding Wei:……
She looked at her aunt with wide eyes, and then at Xie Yan.
To be honest, Xie Yan has lost weight and is "a little thin".
But it’s not like the aunt said in her tone, “I’m so thin!”
She looked at Xie Yan with an innocent smile on his face and saw that he was clearly enjoying himself, and she shook her head helplessly.
Xie Yan was also smiling.
"Aunt, it's okay, don't worry, I'm not picky about food."
"Weiwei is very good to me. I am busy with work and the nature of the project does not allow me to go out frequently. She visits me every week..."
"Tell brother Haitao to stop being busy. I brought some study materials back, why not let him take them in first..."
"Oh, come as soon as you come, what else do you want to bring?"
The aunt quickly said politely, her tone even more satisfied.
…
Zhou Haitao had a calm face.
After entering college, he is no longer the simple boy who was easily deceived.
At this moment he said depressedly:
"I'm already in college, so why do I still need to take tutoring every day? I don't even need any study materials. I can find a lot of them on the forum."
Xie Yan immediately showed a regretful expression:
"Ah, that's it. I didn't understand it clearly."
"Originally, I got some requirements for the United Nations internship from the University of Ming Dynasty. I wanted to see if brother Haitao had any ideas..."
United Nations?!!!
For a moment, the aunt only heard these three key words.
So without saying a word, he slapped his son's thin back with a big slap:
"What nonsense are you talking about! Your brother Xie has worked so hard to bring you the information, and you are so picky..."
While still complaining about him:
"I asked you to pour tea, but you couldn't do it for a long time..."
Good guy, the entire living room has become a battlefield between the aunt and nephew.
Ding Wei couldn't bear the torture of her younger brother Haitao, so she could only use her trump card at this moment:
"Auntie, is the food ready? I'm a little hungry."
This ended the hectic meeting.
…
There were five people in total, and the aunt prepared ten dishes in a daze, filling a large table. The uncle even reached out to touch the wine cabinet.
"Xiao Xie, can you have two drinks?"
The aunt also said enthusiastically: "What are you asking? Just pour a glass for Xiao Xie."
Xie Yan quickly declined.
"Uncle, do I have to go to Weiwei's house tomorrow? My drinking capacity is a little bad..."
The aunt immediately stared at her uncle:
"If you catch someone, just drink. Is alcohol a good thing? Don't give Xiao Xie alcohol."
On the other hand, he looked at Xie Yan with a smile:
"It's okay, your uncle is just addicted to alcohol. We don't drink. Drinking is harmful to the body. Drink more tea. My aunt made a rice dumpling soup today, you can try it too."
Ding Wei:……
She looked at her empty bowl.
Okay, today, at this time, she is superfluous.
Of course, out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at brother Haitao, who was already overwhelmed by the thick pile of information, and felt a little comforted in her heart.
——It’s okay, there is more to spare.
…
Brother Haitao, who was more than willing to be reduced to a background, said at this moment:
"Brother Xie, you said this information was obtained by Mingda University. Could it be that my sister prepared it for you?"
This is a bit of a rank.
Xie Xiuer asked him to run thirty-nine meters, but he couldn't run far.
Xie's words were gentle:
"That's not true. They are both students from the University of Ming Dynasty, and I have already entered an internship unit. It is easier than Weiwei to check these information."
"Weiwei is only a sophomore after all. Normally, this kind of news wouldn't be shared so much with students on campus."
Zhou Haitao's eyes widened:
Are they all from Mingda?!
Isn’t this a social person?
Did his sister talk about such an important issue? Has he forgotten it?
But at this moment, it was meaningless to think about these things, as my aunt was smiling so hard that she couldn't even see her teeth.
"You're from Mingda University too? Oh, Xiao Xie, you are really amazing. The senior brothers and sisters in this school are so destined."
Xie Yan also nodded and said sincerely:
"Yes, it's very fateful. My parents said so too."
…
After chatting for a long time, I got to the point.
The aunt's expression did not change, she glanced at Ding Wei who was immersed in picking up vegetables and eating by herself, and said cheerfully:
"Have your parents met our Weiwei too?"
"Then I have to talk about Weiwei, who hasn't told us much...Xiao Xie, where are you from? You are the only child in the family."
"yes."
Xie Yan put down the bowl and chopsticks, knowing that the important point was coming, and his back straightened unconsciously.
"My family is from the Imperial Capital. I am the only child in the family. Both my parents are at work."
"The house I live in now is relatively close to their workplace, but I started a business with my mentor and the income is not bad. I have already bought another house with Weiwei's reference."
"The keys were just handed over half a month ago. When the time comes for decoration, Weiwei will have to ask aunt for your opinion."
"I think our house is decorated very well, especially the grand cross-stitch. Auntie, you must have put a lot of effort into it, right?"
When it came to cross-stitch, my aunt's proud eyebrows almost flew up, and now she promised:
"When you move to your new home, my aunt will embroider a bigger picture of the Eight Horses for you! Flowers and wealth will do, which one do you like?"
Xie Yan looked at Ding Wei calmly, saw her expression that was speechless, and with a smile on his face, he said:
"Anything is fine, aunt. You have to ask Weiwei for this kind of decoration. Just ask her if she likes it."
"After all, my work is not over yet. I will definitely be a little busier in the first two years. Then I will have to rely on Weiwei at home. Everything will depend on her wishes."
These are just a few sentences, don't contain too much information. At the very least, my aunt's expression has changed from "very satisfied" to "impeccable".
She enthusiastically fished out another piece of ribs for Xie Yan.
…
Unlike young people's chats, this kind of family exploration does not end so easily.
The aunt said politely:
"Weiwei is still young, so you can rest assured that the house will be left to her... Your parents will have to refer to it when the time comes. We, Weiwei, are the most obedient."
Then he asked: "Where did you buy the house? How is it? Is the house price in the imperial capital expensive? If it works, I will think about it and buy one for Haitao?"
Zhou Haitao quickly interrupted: "Brother Xie can buy it by himself, and so can I."
Old men, how can you rely on your family?
You have to fight on your own and prove your strength.
Moreover, Brother Xie can do it himself. If he works hard, he should be able to do it too.
Ding Wei glanced at the silly kid with a half-smile.
——When every young person is still in school, he always feels that he can afford a house...
later.
I won’t go into details later, just look at the average prices in different places.
…
The aunt glared at the unlucky child - why couldn't she understand the meaning? Is the point of buying a house?
Zhou Haitao, who accepted the two looks innocently, looked at his father in confusion at this moment.
But uncle Zhou Lei is really starting to think about this matter now.
After all, Xiao Xie, a young man who can buy a house by himself, is considered young and promising, and his family is from the imperial capital, so he has some connections.
Their family, Haitao, is now attending college in the imperial capital. From now on, he will keep all his relationships there. If he buys a house, if he gets a job in the future, he will be able to stay there...
Adults always think more, but at this moment, Xie Yan didn't seem to notice the meaning of the aunt's words at all, but said "honestly".
"The house price is not bad. Weiwei took it into consideration when I bought the house. It is a new building with an elevator and costs RMB 10,000 per square meter. I paid a down payment of 800,000 yuan and it is more than 140 square meters. It is not bad."
800,000 down payment?!
The aunt took a breath of air.
Why are housing prices in this imperial capital so expensive?
The elevator house in their new area is less than 2,010 square meters, and the old house next door is 710 square meters.
This little Xie bought it right away...
Don't look at the mortgage, my aunt has recently done insurance and has gained a lot of knowledge.
Banks dare to grant loans, which proves that people absolutely have the ability to repay.
Besides, there is only one son in the family, and there is also an apartment. Do you still have to worry about not being able to repay the loan in the future?
The conditions in this family seem to be good. At the very least, Weiwei won't have to hurt her feelings for two cents in the future.
They are people who have experienced it. Although they do not blindly pursue family conditions, some better conditions are better than nothing at all.
They all came from that era, but they know what it means to be miserable for poor and humble couples!
…
However, Xie Yan's time to show off himself has not yet passed.
Just listen to him say sincerely:
"Auntie, I really needed Weiwei's help during the decoration. My parents have their own lives and jobs, and they usually have to deal with problems in the family store, so they don't really care about my business."
"When the time comes, Weiwei will have to worry about these things."
He smiled sincerely:
"But it's really hard work. I'm busy with work, so I can't help with anything except getting money. I can't always stay with Weiwei, and let her help take care of the new house..."
At this time, there were no such complicated statements as later generations, and the objects of discussion were not so sensitive as to property rights.
In the eyes of the older generation, leaving the house to a girlfriend to take care of the decoration is definitely another kind of guarantee.
What's more, the man doesn't care about anything except taking money——
Isn't this quite good?
I'm afraid that I won't be able to get the money out, and I'll still be mumbling.
The aunt is already thinking secretly that they will not be able to pay for the renovation of the house by then. If they get married, they will definitely provide more subsidies to give Weiwei more confidence.
…
In contrast, my aunt's ideas are much more practical.
Everyone pays attention to being well-matched, and I heard that this condition is really good for Xiao Xie's family.
To be honest, Weiwei is a bit weak.
After all, the Imperial City still sounds like it has an advantage.
Their family is still in a small place like Jiangzhou, and Weiwei's parents are unreliable. She probably won't be able to get money when she gets married——
Nowadays, it would be looked down upon if the woman's family didn't have any dowry.
One after another, these things may seem like trivial matters, but in real life, when we argue, they can hurt people.
After all, although this child is good in everything in their eyes, Xie Yan has a registered residence in the imperial capital, has a house and a shop at home, and is young and promising. What kind of girl can't he find?
And Weiwei's house only has a mess, but there is nothing left to worry about!
Therefore, be sure to let Xiao Xie feel their sincerity.
What’s more, Ding Haiyang’s family——
Maybe I’m still sitting on my dream of letting my sister raise my younger brother!
Bah, this shameless couple doesn't even pay school fees for their children, they only think about good things every day!
She had to follow him there tomorrow, and she had to suppress the situation no matter what, so as to prevent the couple from causing trouble again.
Also, Xiao Xie's family is so good, if the couple is thinking about getting a betrothal gift or something, they will make a big deal...
If you put yourself in someone else's shoes, everyone will be angry if you leave them alone.
When they look at girls, the older generation likes to look at their families.
--no.
The aunt secretly made up her mind, no matter what, she had to find a way tomorrow so that she would not be as rich as Xiao Xielu!
As long as Ding Haiyang knows that Weiwei's boyfriend is rich, he won't be able to get involved with her in the future!
The aunt is confident that she can suppress Ding Haiyang. As long as she keeps him in the workplace, at least the couple will not be able to overturn the situation.
But the child is so young, if the couple is really cruel enough to throw the child in front of Weiwei...
If Weiwei doesn't care, others will spit out a lot of saliva.
Really... I can't think about it, my blood pressure rises when I think about it.
The aunt was happy and worried at the same time, so she could only numbly serve Xie Yan another large spoonful of beef stew.
…
Then he poured a bowl of soup for Xie Yan.
"Come on, come on, let's drink some soup. Can you try this winter melon?"
"Don't be afraid of decorating the house. Your uncle and I have experience. Let Weiwei know when the time comes. It won't be hard."
"You young people, the two of you have supported me, and it's not hard at all. It's okay to leave the house to Weiwei. As you know, Weiwei has a stable personality, so she will definitely be able to handle it well..."
And Xie Yan looked at the bowl full of broth, and then at another bowl piled high with vegetables——
It’s really an unbearable amount of care!
At this moment, he changed the subject.
"However, Auntie, if you plan to buy a house for Haitao in the Imperial City, I think it is feasible. After all, he is also studying in the Imperial City. In the next few years, he will probably develop his connections in the Imperial City."
"I studied mechanical and electronic engineering... To be honest, there are not many jobs suitable for him in Jiangzhou. On the contrary, big cities have more development potential."
"Buy one now while housing prices are still affordable. No matter where you go in the future, at least you will have a fixed asset that is stable."
"You can rent it out even if you don't live in it, and it can also be a source of income."
"Besides, his sister and I are both in the imperial capital, so we have relatives. We can help each other if anything happens..."
Each of these words touched my aunt's heart.
Nothing else, just looking at the relationship between Weiwei and Haitao, it will definitely not be like that between her and Ding Haiyang in the future.
Weiwei is not that kind of person, and neither is Haitao.
My uncle, on the other hand, had serious considerations - there really weren't any good units in Jiangzhou worth mentioning for the major that Haitao studied.
You can't have a child who has worked so hard and done so well in the exam, and then be arranged to go to your old employer later, right?
Then why do you have to go to college with a headache?
You can enroll in any three-plus-two program or any junior college.
Moreover, my employer knows that there are benefits, but how much money can I get per month?
It’s so overwhelming. Aren’t the newcomers only in their early 2,000s at the beginning?
The salary for interns is still low.
Xiao Xie started a business with his mentor and was able to pay a down payment of 800,000 yuan in one year.
Regardless of whether there are children exaggerating or Gary's support, it is true that boys are capable.
Their Haitao also needs to experience and practice like this.
The couple looked at each other, each with their own thoughts in mind.
However, now is not the time to discuss the house, the focus is still on Xiao Xie.
Weiwei's parents are unreliable, and there may be more troubles in the future. Now this young man has good conditions, and he acts like he listens to Weiwei in everything he does, so he looks really good.
Ask more carefully so that you can think about how to tell Xie Yan about the situation in Weiwei's family tomorrow.
There are some things that are difficult to say to Weiwei as her girlfriend, and they have to do it as elders.
The two looked at their silly son who was still engrossed in eating, and then started a new round of chatting.
