Chapter 412 Yunsong, My Parents Want to Invite You to Dinner at Home!

Beijing.

Deng Yunsong and Pei Qinghua held hands and walked together in the sunset.

After Deng Yunsong's confession was successful, the relationship between the two of them changed from colleagues to lovers, and holding hands was a natural thing.

This was the first time that Deng Yunsong held the hand of someone of the opposite sex other than his sister, and the fingers of her soft and boneless little hand were intertwined. It felt so good that he wanted to hold her hand like this forever. ,Forever.

Neither of them spoke, both enjoying the feeling of their heartbeats racing.

They walked aimlessly like this for who knows how long. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the two of them stopped in unison.

Deng Yunsong looked at this beautiful object like a flower, took a deep breath and said: "Qinghua, I feel like I'm in a dream. Are you really my partner now?"

Pei Qinghua asked with a smile: "What? You can't believe it?"

Deng Yunsong nodded and said, "I can't believe it. Such an outstanding girl like you is willing to have a relationship with me. I'm really flattered!"

Pei Qinghua beamed with praise and said: "Don't be humble. You are also a top student who graduated from Tsinghua University, and we are in the same unit. Don't I know if you are talented? You also have a good personality and a down-to-earth person." , it’s still very likable.”

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Deng Yunsong looked up at the sky and said, "It will get dark soon, let's go back?"

Pei Qinghua nodded and said, "Well, let's go back then!"

Twenty minutes later, the two returned to the gate of the family courtyard. By this time, it was completely dark.

Deng Yunsong looked around and said in a dry voice: "Qinghua, I...can I hug you?"

Pei Qinghua's heart almost jumped out of her throat when she heard this. She tried her best to suppress the restlessness in her heart and hummed softly.

After receiving permission, Deng Yunsong reached out and pulled the other person into his arms.

It was the first time he had close contact with the opposite sex. The exciting feeling made Deng Yunsong unable to stop. He hugged her for several seconds before letting go with great perseverance.

Pei Qinghua was hugged by the opposite sex for the first time after growing up, and the feeling was no less intense than that of Deng Yunsong.

After Deng Yunsong let her go, Pei Qinghua said in a panic: "I...I'm going upstairs first. See you tomorrow."

After saying that, without waiting for Deng Yunsong to answer, she quickly walked into the family courtyard as if running away and disappeared into the darkness.

Deng Yunsong was a little dumbfounded when he saw this, but when he recalled the feeling of hugging each other just now, it was really wonderful. He hugged each other for just a few seconds and it felt so good. If he gets married and sleeps with each other in his arms, wouldn't it be so good? ?

The more I think about it, the more excited I become, so I go back and work harder to get the other person as soon as possible, and then realize my dream of sleeping with the other person in my arms.

…

Sunday, morning.

In a family home of a certain ministry, Pei's mother was preparing spring bamboo shoots in the kitchen.

The fresh spring bamboo shoots are blanched, soaked in cold water, and then stir-fried with meat slices. The taste is really amazing. This is also one of my daughter’s favorite dishes.

Ever since my youngest daughter started working, if there was nothing going on at the workplace, she would basically come back on Sundays, and this week should be no exception.

Therefore, Pei's mother prepared her daughter's favorite dishes in advance.

When the work was almost done, Pei's mother heard the door open, and she knew without guessing that her youngest daughter must have returned.

Sure enough, Pei's mother walked out of the kitchen and saw her little daughter walking in carrying large and small bags.

Seeing her mother, Pei Qinghua said hello: "Mom, I'm back!"

Mother Pei saw what her little daughter was holding and said with surprise: "Daughter, what's going on? Why did you come back with so many cans of gray water jelly and niuba, and were they given by that colleague of yours?" "

Pei Qinghua put the things on the table, nodded and said: "Yes, who else has such a thing besides him?"

Mother Pei frowned and said, "Daughter, tell me the truth. Is your colleague pursuing you?"

Pei Qinghua poured herself a glass of water and took two sips before replying: "Mom, why do you ask this?"

Pei's mother said: "This is your life-long event, how can I not ask?"

Pei Qinghua said: "Didn't my father say before that I should make the decision on my own life-long affairs?"

Pei's mother said sincerely: "Qinghua, mom didn't say that I would interfere with your free love, but when choosing a partner, you must at least choose someone from a good family. Could it be that with so many well-off families, no one can marry you?" Eye?"

Pei Qinghua put down the cup and said, "Mom, you don't know much about my colleague, how do you know that his family background is not good?"

Pei's mother said, "Didn't you say this yourself?"

Pei Qinghua asked doubtfully: "What did I say?"

Mother Pei frowned and said, "You said he is from the countryside!"

Pei Qinghua curled her lips and said, "Mom, who told you that rural people's family background must be poor?"

Pei's mother said in shock: "What do you mean?"

Pei Qinghua said: "That's what it means literally. It's true that my colleague is from the countryside, but I have known him for ten months. His financial situation is much better than mine. Even if he is from the countryside, he is not short of money." rural people.”

Pei's mother asked: "How do you know that his financial situation is better than yours?"

Pei Qinghua said: "He invites me to a restaurant every day for several months. This is something he can't afford with his small salary. Doesn't this prove that his family's financial conditions are not bad?"

"How many months has he been inviting you to a restaurant for dinner?"

Pei's mother sensed something was wrong and asked, "Qinghua, are you dating someone else?"

Pei Qinghua did not deny it this time, but nodded and said, "Yes, he confessed to me a few days ago, and I agreed."

Mother Pei was so excited that she clapped her legs and said, "Qinghua, why don't you discuss such a big matter with us?"

Pei Qinghua helped her mother sit down and said, "Mom, don't get excited. It's just a date, not a marriage."

Mother Pei said with a straight face: "You just don't listen to me. There are so many young talents from well-off families in the capital. As long as you agree, mom will find a way for you to get to know them. Isn't it better for you to pick anyone from the countryside?" Are colleagues with good background strong?”

Pei Qinghua said helplessly: "Mom, don't underestimate my colleague, okay? She graduated from Tsinghua University and was admitted to Tsinghua University as the top scorer in the Guangxi College Entrance Examination. Do you think any of the young talents in the capital will have this kind of talent? ability?"

"this……"

Pei's mother was a little speechless after hearing this, and then said: "I admit that your colleague's own conditions are very good, and he is indeed worthy of you, but after all, it is still the same sentence, a family like ours, don't ask you If you want to marry high, you are not asked to find a well-matched partner, but at least the man’s family background cannot be too different from ours!

Mom is not a snobbery. The reason for making such a request is mainly for your own good.

After all, if the difference in family background between the two parties is too big, problems will arise between you sooner or later. Mom has seen many such examples. "

Pei Qinghua also knew that her mother was doing it for her own good, so she revealed a little bit and said, "Mom, don't worry, we are like-minded and we definitely don't have the problems you mentioned. What's more, his family is not as bad as you think, Mom." .

According to what he said, he also has a second brother who is better than him. His second brother graduated from Peking University and is only four years older than him. His current level is already deputy director, and he is also the kind with real power. Mom, you are also People in the system should know what this concept is, right? "

Pei's mother couldn't help being shocked when she heard this: "Qinghua, is everything you said true?"

Pei Qinghua smiled and said, "He told me this personally."

Mother Pei was shocked. If the other party did not lie to her daughter, then she would have to re-evaluate this young man from a rural family. It is extremely rare for two brothers, one from Tsinghua University and the other from Peking University. His second brother is so young that he is the de facto deputy. Hall, this is a bit incredible.

"Qinghua, how did his second brother become the deputy director at such a young age? Does his family have other backgrounds?"

"I didn't ask much about this. I didn't know much about it. He just told me that it seemed that it was a coincidence that his second brother was promoted to deputy director so quickly."

"For such a young and powerful deputy director, mere chance is not enough."

Mother Pei pondered for a moment and said: "Qinghua, let's do this. When your father comes back, I will talk to him about this matter and ask him to investigate the family situation of your colleague. If his second brother is really so outstanding, and Your family situation is not as bad as I thought, so I won’t object to you dating someone else.”

Pei Qinghua frowned and said, "Mom, I don't agree. If you want to know something, I'll bring him home next Sunday and you can just ask him face to face. Investigating someone behind the scenes makes it look like you don't believe them. I don’t think this is appropriate.”

"You child, my mother is not doing it for your own good. This investigation must be done. This is not a matter of belief or not, but a matter of principle, just like a blind date. Any responsible parent who would not send someone to Ask about the other party’s reputation?”

Speaking of this, Pei's mother's tone slowed down: "Of course, this investigation does not need to be as strict as the political review. It is just to simply confirm that your colleague is not lying. There is no need to investigate in detail."

Pei Qinghua also felt that it made sense and nodded: "Okay, but the investigation should be like what you said, mom. It just needs to be a simple verification that he is not lying. Don't do that kind of detailed investigation. After all, it is all within the system. Work, if word spreads, it will have a bad impact.”

"Don't worry. When your dad comes back, you can tell him yourself and he will be sensible. Also, remember to bring your partner back for a meal next Sunday. I want to see what kind of young talent he is. , I was fascinated by my precious daughter!”

"Okay, but mom, you have to promise me first not to make things difficult for him."

"I haven't even gotten married yet, and my arms have started to bend outward."

"mom……"

"I know, I won't make it difficult for him."

…

Monday, noon.

Deng Yunsong and Pei Qinghua were eating at their old place.

While waiting for the food to be served, Pei Qinghua said: "Yunsong, I told my parents about our relationship when I went home yesterday. They want to invite you to my house for a meal this Sunday. I don't know how. inconvenient?"

Although Deng Yunsong was a little surprised when he heard this, he was more happy. The woman told her parents that it was a sign of importance to her. He immediately responded: "Convenient, of course it is convenient. Anyway, you have met my dad. I You should also go and see your parents.”

Pei Qinghua glanced at him and said, "That's different. When I met your dad, we were just colleagues, but now that we are dating and officially meeting our parents, there is still a big difference."

Deng Yunsong smiled and said: "For me, meeting my parents is a good thing anyway. Tell me what gifts I can prepare for your parents?"

Pei Qinghua shook his head and said: "You don't need to prepare any special gifts, just buy some fruits or candies and cookies."

Deng Yunsong said: "That's not okay. This is the first time we meet our parents. How can we be so careless?"

Pei Qinghua said angrily: "I hate it, who are your parents?"

Deng Yunsong chuckled and said, "Isn't it a matter of time? Tell me what hobbies our parents have, and I'll prepare a gift for them."

Pei Qinghua glanced at him and didn't bother to correct him: "My dad likes to drink tea, and my mom likes to sing."

Deng Yunsong said: "Tea is easy to solve. I still have a lot of specialty red broken tea brought from my hometown. But my mother likes to sing, so this is a bit difficult. Whose songs does she like to listen to?"

Pei Qinghua smiled and said, "My mother likes to listen to BEYOND. Do you know this BEYOND band?"

Deng Yunsong nodded and said: "Of course I know, Hong Kong rock bands, I also like to listen to their band's songs, especially the song "Glory Days" written by the band's lead singer Huang Jiaju for a certain leader in South Africa last year. It is one of my favorite songs. one."

Pei Qinghua said in surprise: "I didn't expect that you and my mother have the same hobby? That song "Glory Days" is also one of my mother's favorite songs."

Deng Yunsong said: "Originally it would be most appropriate to give records, but I guess our mother has no shortage of records, right?"

Pei Qinghua smiled and said: "There is indeed no shortage of records. She has all the records of the BEYOND band."

Deng Yunsong spread his hands and said, "It seems like I can only give some conventional gifts."

Pei Qinghua comforted him: "Okay, don't think about the gift, it's not important."

Deng Yunsong asked: "What are the hobbies of your eldest brother, sister-in-law, and second brother and sister-in-law?"

Pei Qinghua said with a smile: "My eldest brother, sister-in-law and second brother and sister-in-law don't work in the capital, so you don't have to worry about their hobbies. I will take you back this time just to meet my parents."

"Okay, I understand. I will behave well then and try to please our parents."

"Then I'll wait and see. I believe you can do it."

…

In later generations, Shuangwang Township paid less and less attention to Full Moon Wine. Even if their first child was a son, many people would simply offer it to Grandpa. At most, they would just ask their relatives to have a meal, and that would be settled. .

In the early 1990s, the entire Shuangwang Township still attached great importance to Full Moon Wine.

Especially if the first child is a son, he will basically make a big deal out of it if possible and invite all relatives and friends to have a drink. The scene is comparable to a wedding banquet.

In many families, the grandson's full-moon banquet is even more grand than the son's wedding banquet.

Deng Shirong once again had a grandson, and it was supposed to be a big event. However, when his second son got married, the scene was already big enough. This time, the full moon banquet was not planned to be a big event. Instead, he invited relatives, friends and reputable people in the clan. Just come over and celebrate.

Although it is not a big event, at least twenty or thirty tables must be set up. Naturally, such a banquet must be prepared in advance.

Therefore, when Ergou was about to be one month old, Deng Shirong went back to make arrangements first.

…

noon.

Naye Village.

Ah Zhang Qizheng was having lunch with his children.

Due to the eating habits passed down from generation to generation, lunch in Naye Village is either white porridge or sweet potato, taro, cassava, large potato, sweet potato, corn and other grains. Unless you have relatives coming, it is basically the same all year round. this diet.

What A Zhang Qi’s family eats now is the most common sweet potato.

Looking at the six children sitting in front of her, Zhang Qi smiled happily. She finally got through it.

Recalling that ten years ago, she gave birth to five daughters, all of whom were daughters. Not only was her mother-in-law scolded her, but when her fifth daughter was born, her mother-in-law was not even willing to cook for her. It was such a bleak time.

Fortunately, Mr. Jiu couldn't stand it at that time. He not only cooked her a bowl of egg and longan sugar water, but also gave her mother-in-law a severe scolding and woke her up. Her life became a little easier.

In addition, when she gave birth to her sixth child, her belly finally got better. After giving birth to a son, her life became easier. Her mother-in-law's attitude towards her was also much better. Unlike before, she was always scolding her for giving birth to a child. Losing money.

Then, under the leadership of Jiu Gong, the life of the village became better and better.

Although her family's shares in the passenger transport company and later the food company were not large, the family was no longer short of money, and their savings almost exceeded 100,000. It would be insignificant in Naye Village. In other villages with other surnames, her family would even be qualified to be the richest person in the village.

To be honest, ten years ago, Zhang Qi would never have dreamed of living a life like this.

And all of this is due to Jiu Gong.

Without Jiu Gong, even if she gave birth to a son, her family would definitely be extremely poor, and her daughters might not have the chance to go to school.

It can be said that Jiu Gong completely changed the fate of her family and was her family's great benefactor.

A Zhang Qi was peeling a sweet potato while looking at his eldest daughter, who was already 18 years old, and said: "Sister, have you thought clearly? Next, should you work as a conductor for the bus company in the clan, or should you go to the clan? Work in a factory here?”

Sister Deng swallowed the sweet potato in her mouth and said, "Mom, I'd better work as a conductor at the passenger transport company!"

Ah Zhang Qi said: "I heard that if you follow a car, you have to be brave and dare to speak. It's not like working in a factory. You just have to do the job at hand."

Sister Deng said: "I know, I can do it."

Ah Zhang Qi nodded and said: "Okay, since you have thought about it, I will tell the clan later that you can become a conductor."

Sister Deng smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom."

Deng Ermei answered: "Mom, I'm not good at studying. After finishing this semester, I don't plan to study anymore. I also want to be a train conductor like my sister. Is that okay?"

Ah Zhang Qi looked at his second daughter and sighed: "Second sister, you have to think about it. In the past, many of the girls in our village who wanted to study were not allowed to go to school by their parents. Now you are allowed to study at will, as long as you take the exam." I’ll keep studying for you as long as you get it, are you sure you want to give up?”

Deng Ermei said: "Mom, I know the opportunity is rare, but reading is also about talent. In our family, the third sister may be the only one who has the talent for reading. None of us can do anything, and it is just a waste of time in school."

Ah Zhang Qi said: "Anyway, I've given you the opportunity. Whether you can seize it or not is your own business. Just don't blame mom in the future."

Deng Ermei said happily: "Mom, do you agree?"

Ah Zhang Qi said: "Jiu Gong once said that reading relies on self-awareness. Even if I force you to read, it will not be of much use. You can make up your own mind. If you want to read, read it carefully. If you don't want to read, then don't read. But You are still a little young, and you will have to wait until next year or the year after that to become a conductor."

Deng Ermei said: "I know, Mom."

Soon, lunch was ready.

A Zhang Qi took the chimney to the door and was about to burn a few pipes of cigarettes when she saw Jiu Gong walking over. She quickly greeted him: "Jiu Gong, have you eaten?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Have you eaten? Have you eaten?"

Ah Zhang Qi said with a smile: "I just ate. Jiu Gong, please come and sit down quickly. Let's burn the cigarette first."

Deng Shirong walked over and sat down on a bench and said, "I just came here to cook it. You can cook it. I came here mainly to discuss something with you."

Ah Zhang Qi asked: "Jiu Gong, what's the matter? Tell me!"

"Ninth Ancestor!"

At this time, several of Zhang Qi's children also came out and greeted Deng Shirong one after another.

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Sister, this matter is related to you, you should sit down and listen."

Sister Deng was a little surprised when she heard this and responded obediently: "Okay, Ninth Ancestor."

Deng Shirong didn't show off and said directly: "A Zhang Qi, it's like this. Didn't I just give birth to a grandson? My family Yunheng works in Fujian. When the child is one month old, my second daughter-in-law will definitely take the child to Fujian. By the way, it must be hard and inconvenient for her to raise the child alone.

Therefore, I plan to look for someone in the village and go to Fujian to help me raise my grandson and do some things within my ability. The salary is 300 yuan a month. If she does a good job, I will definitely not treat her badly.

After thinking about this candidate, I think your eldest sister is quite suitable. Are you willing to let her go to Fujian to help me take care of my children? "

There is a reason why he chose Ah Zhang Qi, the eldest daughter. Even though this girl is only seventeen or eighteen years old and not married yet, she has helped raise her younger sister and younger brother since she was a child. In terms of experience in raising children, many women are better than Not to her.

In addition, he had watched the eldest sister of Azhang Qi's family grow up, so he knew what kind of character this girl was.

Therefore, Deng Shirong was relatively relieved to ask her to go to Fujian to help take care of the children.

When Ah Zhang Qi heard this, she said with a face of surprise: "Yes, of course I am willing. This is a good thing that I can only ask for. Sister, why don't you thank Jiu Zu quickly."

Sister Deng was also pleasantly surprised and said overjoyed: "Thank you Jiu Zu, I am willing."
