Chapter 611 Visiting the Jiang Family (Part 1)
The Jiang family’s yard is not big. After pushing open the half-person-high wrought iron courtyard door and entering, the yard is about 100 square feet in size and clearly divided.
On the left are flowers and plants, and on the right are two racks of cucumbers and two racks of tomatoes.
They are all covered with film sheds and grow vigorously under the winter sunshine.
Seeing their surprised looks, Jiang Xiaoyang smiled.
"My grandfather was from the countryside before he joined the army. He liked to serve the crops in the fields. When he was young, he had no chance to work. When he got older, he grew some in his own yard.
These flowers and plants are from my grandma ”
“It’s good to avoid quarreling.” Lao Xu saw the truth at a glance.
“Say less.”
Wang Lingxiang was afraid that he would say the wrong thing.
Just then, the door opened.
Jiang Weiguo, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, and Liu Jihong, who had obviously dressed up specially, came out to greet them.
A group of people followed the two of them.
You can tell from the way they dress that they are either rich or noble.
"Brother Xu, brothers and sisters, have a happy New Year."
Jiang Weiguo said enthusiastically.
"Brother, sister-in-law, happy New Year."
Xu Liang and Jiang Xiaoyang have known each other for such a long time, and the parents of the two families have already asked who is older and who is younger.
Looking at this family that is either rich or noble, although Xu Yongpei tried his best to behave normally, the imprint of being at the bottom for decades was too deep, and it was inevitable that he would be a little timid when he got here. .
In comparison, Wang Lingxiang is much better.
Facing Liu Jihong, not only with ease, but at least with grace.
As for Xu Liang, he has been among countless powerful people in the United Kingdom, the United States, South Korea, and Japan. Now this kind of family banquet is just a small occasion.
Under Jiang Xiaoyang’s introduction, Xu Liang smiled and called his second uncle, third uncle, aunt, and sister-in-law in a gentle and polite manner.
Enter the room.
Waiting in the living room, the old man who was wearing simple clothes but sitting upright, and who was over sixty years old but still had a military demeanor, also stood up.
Next to him, an old woman with white hair, wearing a decent cheongsam, and a gentle temperament like a lady, smiled and said.
“Happy New Year.”
Xu Yongpei and Wang Lingxiang walked over quickly.
"Uncle, aunt, happy New Year."
"Grandpa, grandma, happy New Year."
Xu Liang and Xu Meng also followed suit.
The old man glanced over the four of them with a smile on his face, and stopped for a moment on Xu Liang.
"It's fate to be together. Come and sit down."
With a promise, the couple sat down on the sofa next to them.
Xu Liang took his sister and sat on the bench next to him.
The Jiang family also sat down on the sofas and stools next to them according to their age and status.
Soon, the servant at home brought tea and peanuts and melon seeds.
"Xiao Xu is from Qilu?" the old man asked.
Xu Yongpei is almost fifty, but in front of others, he is indeed Xiao Xu.
“I’m from Yidu, Qilu. By your old accent, are you also from Qilu?”
"Haha, I'm from Linyi, my hometown. When I was a child, I grew up eating hundreds of meals. After I joined the army, fewer and fewer went back. By the way, when I went on a mission thirty years ago, I lived in Yidu. For a while, peaches were really delicious. I still remember the word "Shou" on Yunmen Mountain."
"We only have two good things in Yidu, Qingzhou peach and Mihe silver melon. They are all tributes. It’s a pity that the establishment of factories in the past two years has ruined the food and it is not as delicious as before.”
With the old man taking the topic, Xu Yongpei felt less nervous.
It’s just talking about it, but I don’t know the importance.
“Well, the environment has indeed changed a lot in the past two years.”
The old man didn't want to talk more, so he asked instead.
"Xiao Xu, do you still have land at home?"
"Yes, why not. But because of this smell..."
'Boy' is on the lips , Xu Yongpei stopped suddenly, guarding so many people, to save face for his son.
“After my son was brought to the capital, he leased out all the land at home.” Xu Yongpei continued.
Glancing at Xu Liang, the old man smiled.
"You gave birth to a good son."
Although he has retired, he is not deaf to what is happening outside the window.
Especially when it comes to his beloved eldest granddaughter, the old man even called someone to find out more about the situation.
After knowing that Xu Liang was playing tricks behind his back, the old man was still very angry.
But after seeing the other party's business operations, especially a series of strong financial performance, he didn't say anything more.
At his current age, he has long since learned to compromise for interests.
"You praise me. He is just a blind cat who met a dead mouse. He is the blessing of the country's development, otherwise he would not be where he is now." Lao Xu was habitually modest.
Xu Liangliang, who was sitting aside, rolled his eyes. His career was not just in China.
Even Huaxia's career is not even a fifth of his entire career.
"Young people should be encouraged more, and don't be too harsh."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely listen to what you say."
As he spoke, Lao Xu was Completely let go.
He is not a dull person on weekdays. Under the guidance of the old man's topic, the two of them chatted more and more happily. They talked about the geography of Yidu, the food and beautiful scenery, and the food and beautiful scenery to important places.
We talked about fertilizer seeds again.
Looking at the old man's happy face, it was obvious that no one told him this at home.
It’s normal to think about it. My wife likes to grow flowers, my sons and daughters are all in high positions and busy with work, and the third-generation grandchildren are all well-dressed and well-fed. Do you expect them to be important?
"Come on, Xiao Xu, help me take a look. My two racks of cucumbers always have yellow leaves."
"You must have used too much fertilizer when fertilizing, and the leaves burned. ”
As he spoke, he also stood up with the old man.
The two of them hooked up and prepared to leave.
Beside him, Wang Lingxiang winked at Lao Xu continuously, telling him not to forget what he was here for today.
But after Lao Xu had a good time chatting, he didn’t look at it at all.
"You damn old man, I'm just a guest, how can I go to the fields after a guest comes." The old lady quickly spoke to dissuade you.
"What kind of guest are you? From now on, Xiao Xu and his family will be relatives. If you are too polite, you will become a heretic. Is it Xiao Xu?"
"Yes, I feel very friendly when I look at you, uncle... Oops "
Lao Xu, who was stepped on by his wife, subconsciously shouted out.
The young man next to him couldn't help laughing when he saw his embarrassment.
Wang Lingxiang was also a little embarrassed.
This kick also woke up Lao Xu.
He smiled and was about to sit down.
Unexpectedly, the old man who walked over grabbed his left wrist.
After all, he was born in the military. Although he is older, his skills are not small at all.
"Ignore them, let's do our thing, let's go."
Without any explanation, he pulled Xu Yongpei and walked outside.
When the old man becomes stubborn, no one in the Jiang family dares to stop him.
"This damn old man has no idea at all... Xiaolei, just keep an eye on it and make sure nothing goes wrong."
A young man in his early twenties, wearing Adidas, agreed. , turned around and ran out.
"Xiao Wang, don't mind. This old man has a stubborn temper. He likes to grow vegetables on weekdays. It's rare that I can talk to him, so I just ignore him."
Wang Lingxiang said quickly: "Auntie, I have something to do, which is good for my health."
The old lady smiled and nodded: "This old guy is much tougher than me."
After glancing at Xu Liang and Xu Meng next to them, the old lady smiled and continued.
"Xiao Wang, you and your wife have taught you well, and both of your children are very good."
Xu Liang will not go into details. Xu Meng was admitted to Wudaokou Technical College one year in advance. , and fellow students from Wudaokou, who are full of talents, majoring in economics, management and finance, were able to complete their credits ahead of schedule.
A proper academic tyrant among academic tyrants.
Wang Lingxiang showed pride on her face.
The excellence of her two children is what she is most proud of in her life.
But the Chinese people’s modesty is engraved in their bones.
“His father and I are not highly educated and we didn’t teach much. The key is that they are willing to learn.”
Habitual modesty turned into a large PLA scene.
The old lady has seen so many people in her life that she doesn’t think anything of them. And people do have reason to be proud of it.
"Yes. No matter what you do, you are truly capable if you are capable and capable."
"Don't praise them all the time, otherwise your tail will be raised to the sky."
The old lady smiled and said, "I don't think these two children are ignorant people, especially Xu Liang. He has created a big career in the mall at a young age, which makes me and that damn old man both. Very impressed.”
"Grandma, thank you very much."
Xu Liang smiled and said politely, then said no more.
"Child, you are capable, and grandma likes it very much."
After that, he glanced at Jiang Xiaoyang next to him, who was wearing a light pink pullover, black trousers, and long hair shawl.
“I heard Xiaoyang say that you knew each other four years ago?”
Xu Liang nodded and smiled: "Just after the new year of the year 2000, I went to the capital to start a business during the winter vacation. I happened to meet her who was interning at the CITIC Dongcheng District Business Office, and we got to know each other.
Now do the math. , exactly four years.”
“Four years is not a short period of time, it is enough for people to get to know each other.”
“Sister Xiaoyang? She is beautiful and has a master's degree from the Ivy League. She has a gentle and polite personality, which I like very much."
Under the gaze of everyone, Xu Liang talked without any trace of nervousness on his face.
On the contrary, Jiang Xiaoyang looked a little shy.
"Haha, that's good."
The old lady turned her head.
"Xiao Wang, how about we become in-laws?"
"That is the blessing of our old Xu family." Wang Lingxiang said with a smile.
"So you agreed?"
"Yes, why not agree? I also like this kid Xiaoyang. She is a first-class good girl in both appearance and knowledge. It is difficult to find even a lantern. How could I not be willing?
I am just afraid that we, a small family, will wrong her.”
The old lady smiled and said, “There is nothing wrong with me. When her grandfather got married, the house he lived in was leaky and there was no stove in the winter. Is it different now?
Besides, Xu Liang is now the most famous young entrepreneur in the country and is also famous internationally. Hehe.
Which family wouldn't rush for such a good son-in-law?
And compared to these, feelings are the most important.
It’s not easy for the two of them to have known each other for four years. As elders, of course we have to make it happen. ”
