Chapter 219
Lin Gang puffed up his chest and said, "I am a little over 1.7 meters tall. Where is my shortcoming?"
As he spoke, he brushed his hair and looked down at himself. There was nothing wrong with his clothes, so he strode towards Li's house.
"Uncle Li and Aunt Li, we are here!"
"Hey, who is this person? He is wearing a very long hair."
"Old Li, is this person a relative of yours?"
A villager saw a big red flower hanging on the bicycle faucet. He seemed to realize it and asked: "Old Li, is this young man? Are you talking about Wanwan?"
"How is that possible? He looks very energetic. If he is from the city, why would he come to the countryside to find a wife? Isn’t a wife in the city nice?”
Father Li and Mother Li ignored the villagers’ doubts and just dropped what they were doing. , stood up with a happy face, wiped the water on his hands on his clothes, and went forward.
"Ouch! It's my mother-in-law, Gangzi and Mingxin's mother who are here! Hurry up and sit in the room. I'll pour you tea. You must be thirsty after walking all the way, right?"
"Okay, okay, mother-in-law, it's the first time we meet, a small gift is not a sign of respect."
As she said this, Liu Xiao'e took out two red envelopes from her bag and stuffed one into each of Li's father and Li's mother.
"Oh! My mother-in-law, you are too polite. You come to my house as a guest, how dare you spend money."
"It should be, it should be, just this time, next time I don’t care anymore, just accept it.”
Liu Xiao’e pushed the red envelope back.
Mother Li declined for a moment, then happily accepted the red envelope. In-laws with good family conditions are very particular about it, and there is a meeting gift for the first meeting.
However, gifts must come and go, and Mother Li thought that when they left, she would also have to get a red envelope in return.
The villagers were in an uproar looking at Liu Xiao'e and Lin Gang who were well dressed.
Where did the Li family burn incense?
Find such a decent in-law and son-in-law?
Li Wan had just finished making tea. When she saw a group of people coming in, her eyes met Lin Gang who was walking in front. Li Wan embarrassedly smoothed her hair around her ears and smiled at him: "I just made the tea. Come here, everyone." Sit down and warm yourself by the fire."
Lin Gang was slightly stunned. He found that Li Wan was very beautiful today. Maybe he knew that she was going to be his wife, and he thought she looked good-looking everywhere.
Liu Xiao'e gently pushed Lin Gang who was in a daze, then smiled and stepped forward to hold Li Wan's hand: "Oh, this is Wanwan, you are so handsome and naturally beautiful. When I saw you I feel like you have a close connection with our family.”
Mother Li doesn’t care whether her words are sincere or just to cater to today. Every day, everyone was so happy that they couldn’t open their mouths from ear to ear: “Let’s sit down with the in-laws and drink tea. If you like Wanwan, let her stay with you.”
“Wanwan is cute, who I don’t like her when I see her. She is my youngest daughter-in-law, and she will be treated as my second daughter-in-law when she comes to my house.”
After Liu Xiao'e said that, she took out a big red envelope from her bag and stuffed it into her hand, "This is a meeting gift from my mother. The gift is light but the affection is heavy. I hope you won't dislike it."
A big red envelope was stuffed into her hand. Come here and scare Li Wan jumped, and she was a little at a loss for such a heavy gift, "No, I don't mind, thank you, auntie."
Liu Xiao'e blushed when she saw Li Wan talking, knowing that he has a shy temperament, and she liked it even more. .
People just can't compare. When Li Wan and Fang Hong were compared, Fang Hong really had to throw her into the trash can.
The first time Fang Hong received her red envelope, she was so rude and didn't even bother to show off.
Liu Xiao'e patted her hand and looked at the other people sitting around the table.
In addition to Li's father, there are two others who are the captains of the village's production team, and the other is the oldest old man in the clan. Li Wan should call him great grandfather.
This generation is too big, Liu Xiaoe is very respectful in front of him, respecting the old and loving the young is applicable no matter in which era.
The old man and Liu Xiao'e chatted for a while, and slowly got a general idea of the Lin family's situation from the conversation.
To be honest, he admired the Lin family's aggressiveness.
The Lin family has gradually established a foothold in the city with the help of their daughter. They hope that their daughter, the Li family, can help her parents' family when she marries in the city.
Not to mention that she takes care of her family, at least she can think of her brothers when there are job opportunities in the city.
Mother Li arranged for her daughters-in-law to do the cooking on the stove, and after entering the house, she and Liu Xiao'e started making household chores. Through chatting, they got a general understanding of each other's personalities.
When talking about the betrothal gift, Liu Xiao'e was not shy and took out a bundle of two hundred yuan of betrothal gift money tied with red paper from her bag.
Then, Lin Shu took out the red cashmere coat, black cashmere pants, six pieces of fabric, and a pair of gold earrings from his backpack.
The wedding candies, cakes and pig's head were already sent into the kitchen when they entered the house. Those who came in could see them, so there was no need to display them in front of them.
In addition to the gift money requested by the Li family, a set of clothes, six pieces of fabric and a pair of gold earrings were all temporarily added by Liu Xiao'e before she came.
“Although our family’s conditions are better than those in the countryside, they are still not so good in the city. Since Wanwan and my Gangzi got married, they wanted to live in the city. I won’t do it anymore. We will wait until their married life becomes stable. Is this a good arrangement for my in-laws?”
The old man looked at Father Li, this is your daughter, they are the ones who make the final decision.
Father Li didn't have any objections in his heart. He looked at Mother Li. The bride price of two hundred yuan was already more than all the married girls in the village.
Mother Li saw everyone looking at her and smiled: "My mother-in-law is a good arranger, otherwise the family will not be more and more prosperous. As parents, we have no other wishes. We just hope that their life as a couple will be better and better. < br>
Three turns and one beep is a name. The only ones that are really practical are bicycles and sewing machines. They can wait until their lives are stable before buying them. That's okay."
"My mother-in-law, your family is a reasonable family, and I am truly lucky to be my mother-in-law." Liu Xiao'e stood up and held Mother Li's hand, and said with emotion: "From now on. The days are still long, let’s take our time.”
“Yes, yes, the days are still long, let’s take our time.” Mother Li grinned silly.
The elders chatted happily, and Mother Li asked Li Wan to lead Lin Gang around. Young people would definitely not be able to stay together with their elders.
Li Wan stood up with a smile and led Lin Gang back to the house after staying outside for a short time.
The Li family invited brothers and sisters to witness Lin Gang's bride price today, so they prepared four tables of meals for lunch.
Except for the tea sets placed in the main room, the elders are drinking tea. There were three tables in the main room, and a stove as well.
Li Wan and Lin Gang did not go to the main room, but sat in the main room to warm themselves by the fire and chat.
“I didn’t expect you would actually ask a matchmaker to propose marriage. Have you been working for the past two years?”
Lin Gang met Li Wan's clear eyes and touched his nose guiltily, "I have been working for more than a year and recently went to the provincial capital. During the Chinese New Year, my father and I have been doing business in the provincial capital."
"You don't take any rest during the Chinese New Year?"
In Li Wan's opinion, the Chinese New Year is the time to take a break and have a good rest. It is the most leisurely time of the year. Even during the Chinese New Year, you have to do things. It seems that the Lin family is in the provincial capital. Life is not too good.
Lin Gang explained patiently: "In fact, doing business is when others are resting, but it is the busiest time. Business is good during the Chinese New Year, and you make much more money in one day than usual."
Li Wan doesn’t know if this is more than usual. How much more?
She didn't think much about it, and just nodded after listening to his words: "It seems that you are very experienced in doing business in the provincial capital."
"You come back with me this time and get your marriage certificate by the way. It's not that convenient to go back to her parents' house. "I know." Li Wan nodded.
“You may have a hard time marrying me, you have to be mentally prepared.”
Lin Gang’s words shocked Li Wan, “You are so What does the word mean? ”
Didn't the matchmaker say that the Lin family's family conditions are very good?
Lin Gang realized that Li Wan was frightened and smiled apologetically: "I recently set up a stall in the provincial capital. If you went to the provincial capital with me, you might have to leave early and come back late to set up a stall with me."
“Is it just about selling things when you set up a stall? As long as you don’t use it I’m not tired from doing farm work, right?”
“I’m not tired at all, but I’ve been guarding the stall for a long time.”
Li Wan puffed up her chest: “I’m not afraid of farm work. I’m still afraid of looking at the stalls!”
Lin Gang's eyes were immediately attracted by her bulging breasts. After a while, when he realized where he was staring, Lin Gang's face instantly turned red.
Li Wan didn't think much about it, "You're blushing, are you very hot?"
Lin Gang: "."
"I heard that your sister got married in the city. Her man is from the provincial capital, is he nice to her?" Li Wan thought about Liu Xiao'e quietly telling her that Lin Shu had given her that beautiful set of clothes, so she wanted to thank her properly when she went to the provincial capital.
Lin Gang rubbed his hot face, "She is doing very well. She gave birth to twins last year, and her husband's family treats her very well."
"Brother Ninth, you're here. I'm just looking for you."
Gu Jiugang walked into Chen Fei's office. After listening to his words, he was curious: "What do you want to see me for?"
< br>Chen Fei stood up, walked out from behind the desk, walked to the door and shouted to the other side of the corridor: "Xiao Hui, ask the two newly recruited employees to come to my office."
Gu Jiu sat down on the armchair and leaned back lazily, "When did you recruit new employees?"
"I will introduce you to them when they arrive." Chen Fei took out a plan and said, "Look, this is our company's plan to expand its business to Guangdong Province. If there is anything I haven't considered, please check and fill in the gaps."
Gu Jiu took the plan, but before he could read it, he saw Xiaohui leading two young girls in.
"Brother Jiu, Brother Fei, I have brought people here."
Xiao Hui asked the two girls to sit wherever they wanted, and then made tea for Chen Fei and Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu looked at Chen Fei with doubtful eyes.
Chen Fei pointed at the two girls and said: "Didn't I tell you some time ago that I want to hire two secretaries to help us handle some chores. These two girls are both high school graduates and work in a state-owned hotel. I worked as a temporary worker for two years.”
Gu Jiu glanced at the two nervous little girls and rubbed his forehead with a headache: "I remember I told you a few days ago that I don't want the secretary you mentioned. If you need these two, I will give you both."
"Brother Ninth, the purpose of recruiting two secretaries is to ease our work, and also to have someone to help us with trivial matters at work. If you don't want them, this will not reduce our work efficiency."
Chen Fei disagreed and insisted on arranging a secretary for Gu Jiu.
In this era, in coastal areas of Guangdong Province, a secretary seems to be the standard for successful people.
The boss doesn’t deserve a beautiful female secretary and seems too embarrassed to go out to discuss business.
In later generations, perhaps because the word secretary was not nice enough, the standard configuration for bosses was special assistants, and most of them were men.
Gu Jiu had a headache, "The secretary does not have to be a woman. I will find a male secretary in a few days and leave these two to you."
Chen Fei seemed to see through Gu After worrying about it for a long time, she looked at him with a half-smile, "Okay, these two One will be my secretary, and the other will work at the front desk. But until you find someone, she will temporarily help you with the trivial matters at work."
"You have to fight with me about this, right? "Gu Jiu stared at him and gritted his teeth. This kid doesn't mind being on stage when watching a show.
Chen Fei shrugged, "I said she would go to the front desk immediately when you find someone to replace her."
Gu Jiu stood up with a dark face, "I will read this plan later and give it to you."
After saying that, he walked out the door without looking back.
Chen Fei pointed to one of the tall girls: "What is your name?"
"Back to Mr. Chen, I am Siqin."
"Siqin is Well, Mr. Gu has already returned to the office. Follow him quickly. Remember to make him a cup of hot tea before entering. ”
Siqin and the other girl looked at each other, nodded and walked out.
Several wagons of goods will arrive at the train station in the afternoon, and Chen Fei is going to the logistics station of the train station.
He stood up and walked out of his desk and told his secretary, "Tidy up my desk and clean up the office."
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
Chen Fei and Xiao Hui left the office. The secretary who stayed in the office stuck out his tongue. What a danger!
She was almost called to follow Mr. Gu who was difficult to serve.
Gu Jiu didn't know that he was labeled as being difficult to serve. When he returned to the office, he read the plan carefully.
Siqin entered the office and helped pour water to make tea. The busy figure swayed in front of his eyes, making his head hurt.
"After you make the tea, go and do your own business. I don't need you here for the time being."
Siqin naturally saw that Gu Jiu was dissatisfied with herself. In order to show that she was dissatisfied with her work, of positivity.
She pointed to the bookcase that had not been cleaned for several days, "Mr. Gu, you are busy with your work. My job is to help you deal with the trivial matters at work. Your office must not have been cleaned for a few days, so I will clean it up." Go and rest after you are clean."
Gu Jiu frowned slightly. There were people moving around in the office, which affected his work and made him unable to concentrate.
Siqin had been paying attention to Gu Jiu and found that he seemed to be in a bad mood. She wiped more slowly, for fear of making more noise if she went too fast.
Slow down the speed. What should have been done in ten minutes has not been completed in twenty minutes.
Gu Jiu really couldn't devote himself to his work, so he simply stood up, put the documents in his briefcase, and went out with the briefcase under his arm.
Originally, he wanted to talk to Chen Fei, but when he passed by his office, he found that only the new secretary he hired was doing hygiene inside. After asking, he found out that he had gone to the logistics station.
The weather was too cold to ride a bicycle on the street. Gu Jiu thought about it and turned the bicycle to another street.
Lin Shu found out that Gu Jiu had come to the hotel and greeted him in surprise, "Why are you here again today? The company is not busy?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said: "I'm not busy, by the way. I'll pick you up and take you home for lunch."
Lin Shu raised her wrist and looked at the time. It was almost half past eleven, "Okay, just wait for me for a minute, and I'll go talk to Manager Xu. ”
