Chapter 51 The new uncle comes
After getting off the plane, Liu Hongmin and Cha Jianying went to the hotel reserved by RTV first.
After putting away the gifts, Zha Jianying made plans to buy a suit for Liu Hongmin. The two have already agreed to meet Cha Jianying's parents.
Liu Hongmin was a little timid, so he took his daughter away without saying a word. He was considered a new uncle.
Let Cha Jianying rest in the hotel first, while Liu Hongmin went to RTV. He came to Xiangjiang to work, so naturally he had to check in first.
Meeted with Huang Qiang and talked about the preparations for the second part of Shaobao.
“We’ll look at the scene design drawings tomorrow.”
Liu Hongmin was about to stand up and leave, but stopped as soon as he stood up, “Brother Qiang, do you know which brand of suits is good?”< br>
"You want to buy a suit?" Huang Qiang was a little surprised. The last time Liu Hongmin came here, he didn't care about his image and still wore the clothes he brought from China.
Liu Hongmin didn't hide it either, "I'm going to meet my girlfriend's parents in a few days."
When Huang Qiang heard this, he immediately laughed, "Congratulations, when are you going to eat the wedding candy?"
"It's still early!" Liu Hongmin waved his hand, "We just got together, why can't we I have to wait until I graduate from college to talk about marriage."
"Congratulations on finding a girlfriend!" Huang Qiang said with a smile: "If you want to buy a suit, I suggest you go to Master Chen's shop. They do customization. A suit."
"That should be expensive, right?" Liu Hongmin said with a frown.
Huang Qiang: "I know you are reluctant to spend money! Master Chen's suits are not expensive, only a few thousand Hong Kong dollars, which is completely affordable for you."
Liu Hongmin was relieved. Speaking of which, a few thousand Hong Kong dollars is no problem. He was afraid of spending tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, so don't spend all the money you earned last year on it.
Huang Qiang suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Hongmin. Do you have any plans to buy a house in Xiangjiang? If you buy a house, you can get a tax exemption."
Liu Hongmin shook his head, "I I can’t afford it, the house in Xiangjiang is too expensive.”
“You can pay off the mortgage in installments. Depending on your energy, you can definitely pay off the mortgage.”
“Forget it!” Liu Hongmin waved her hand, "With that kind of money, I could buy a hundred houses in the capital."
After saying that, he said goodbye and left without giving Huang Qiang a chance to continue persuading him.
As a time traveler, I would not buy a house in Xiangjiang at this time! Housing prices in Hong Kong are now at their peak, costing HK$2,000 per square foot. The so-called thousand-foot mansion in Xiangjiang is only 92.9 square meters.
For the same price of 2 million Hong Kong dollars, do you think it is appropriate to buy a property in Hong Kong? Or is it appropriate to buy one hundred courtyard houses in Beijing?
As long as you are not a fool, you will choose the latter.
In the evening, when the weather was cooler, Liu Hongmin took Zha Jianying by car to Master Chen's suit shop.
Master Chen has long made a brand of suits called W.W.chan. In Xiangjiang, many working-class people will choose this brand because it is of high quality and low price.
Zha Jianying helped select fabrics, but when designing the suit style, Liu Hongmin chose a slim and slim suit.
It combines the tallness of a British suit and the slim fit of a Korean suit. In this way, Liu Hongmin will be dressed in formal attire when going to important occasions in the future.
One disadvantage of custom-made suits is that it is slow to pick up the goods. It takes several modifications until it fits properly before you can get it.
Zha Jianying was a little anxious, but Liu Hongmin was very satisfied. He also needs some buffer zone and some preparations. He can't come empty-handed!
Liu Hongmin worked as usual, discussing the scenery issues with RTV's prop masters. After designing the crime scene, Liu Hongmin's work was mostly completed.
The prop masters have already done a good job, and Liu Hongmin is only responsible for some details. In less than half a month, I made a net profit of 20,000 yuan, and the expenses for meeting my father-in-law and mother-in-law came out. After finishing the work, Liu Hongmin and Zha Jianying went to the mall to pick out some supplements and buy four watches.
Liu Hongmin and Zha Jianying each had one piece, and the remaining two pieces were given to Zha Jianying's parents.
The watch is not very expensive. After all, Cha Jianying's parents are from the capital and are not used to the high-consumption life in Xiangjiang.
After getting ready, Liu Hongmin and Cha Jianying went to her family’s temporary residence in Xiangjiang.
Cha Jianying had already settled her relationship with her parents, so her father and mother were not surprised. However, there is something wrong with their attitude.
Taking a moment, Liu Hongmin quietly asked Cha Jianying, "Did you say everything?"
Zha Jianying nodded shyly, "My mother saw it."< br>
Got it!
Liu Hongmin became nervous instantly. If he were Cha's father, he might have the intention to kill him.
Father Cha glanced at Liu Hongmin and said, "Xiao Liu! Don't be nervous. You are Jianying's boyfriend, not an outsider. Let's sit together and chat."
Liu Hongmin Putting his hands on his knees uneasily, "Uncle, what do you want to talk about?"
"Talk about your plans for the future." Father Cha said, "You should also know that Jianying is planning to study abroad. , I wonder if you have this plan."
Liu Hongmin smiled awkwardly, "Not yet, I can wait until Jianying comes back from studying abroad."
Cha's father: "Is it because of Jianying? No? You majored in history. You can continue your studies by studying abroad. "
Liu Hongmin thought about the wording, "Uncle, I majored in ancient Chinese history. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to study abroad?"
“You can change your major!”
Liu Hongmin smiled reluctantly. If this topic continues, it will hurt people.
Fortunately, Zha Jianying had noticed something was wrong and said quickly: "Dad, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Domestic history and foreign history are not the same thing."
Father Cha glared at his daughter and turned his elbows outward.
He and Cha's mother looked at each other, obviously not satisfied with Liu Hongmin's answer. In their view, Liu Hongmin was not "progressive" anymore.
Yes, in the eyes of many Chinese people nowadays, studying abroad means making progress. From now on, living abroad is all about becoming a master.
Compared to China, the rich material life abroad is like paradise.
But for Liu Hongmin, a time traveler, it was just like that. In the era before smartphones, living abroad was not as meaningful and interesting as studying history at home.
Cha's father and mother did not dislike Liu Hongmin's gift, but they disliked Liu Hongmin and did not want to study abroad. Liu Hongmin, who didn't get a good look, ate the meal in embarrassment and left without daring to stay longer.
Zha Jianying was dissatisfied with her parents' performance and angrily went to the hotel with Liu Hongmin.
In her opinion, Liu Hongmin has a career she likes, can also make money to support her family, is generous and humorous, and does not bully herself. She is simply a perfect spouse.
Although Liu Hongmin felt a little gloomy, he and Cha Jianying spent a month playing in Xiangjiang and didn't take it to heart.
Even if they get married in the future, Cha Jianying will marry her and live with her parents. As for Cha's father and Cha's mother, let them live in Xiangjiang. As long as they don't get involved in his own family, Liu Hongmin doesn't mind paying more for their two elders with their living expenses.
