"Thank you brother and sister-in-law for teaching a girl like Chu Xiaolu. My Sicheng is lucky to be able to marry Xiaolu. I'd like to toast you." Zhang Ran was very enthusiastic, just like when a man's parents meet the girl's parents.
Even Xiao Chunhua couldn't find anything wrong with Zhang Ran's behavior.
Seeing Zhang Ran like this, Zhang Sicheng subconsciously held Liu Lu's hand. For some reason, Liu Lu looked at him and smiled slightly. Liu Lu could understand her husband's thoughts.
Zhang Ran is very talkative at the dinner table, and his conversation is humorous. He can talk about everything from all over the world.
Liu Mao has traveled extensively in recent years. Of course, his traveling was just to work everywhere.
But he found that no matter where he talked, Zhang Ran could pick up the conversation, and when he talked about some things from the 1970s and 1980s, Zhang Ran always responded fluently.
At this moment, Liu Maocai finally believed that Zhang Ran was really over fifty.
Zhang Ran's appearance is really too young, too young to be true!
Zhang Ran's skill in persuading people to drink is also very good. At least Liu Mao couldn't stop him at all, and he soon became confused after drinking.
Coupled with the fact that Zhang Ran could guide the topic, the conversation between the two parties was very pleasant. Before they knew it, they drank until three o'clock, and Liu Mao was knocked down directly.
"Drink some hot water. Do you want to take a rest? I'll tidy up a room for you." Liu Lu said, bringing a bowl of hot water.
This was the first time since she married Zhang Sicheng that she had eaten at home for such a long time, and the atmosphere was so harmonious.
She could feel that Zhang Ran was deliberately saying nice things, and it could even be said that he was deliberately trying to please her parents.
Although Liu Lu didn't know the specific situation of Zhang Ran in the past, she was not a fool. It could be seen from many of Ning Qing's attitudes that Zhang Ran should be more than just a demolition household, otherwise Ning Qing would not treat her like this. manner.
But even so, Zhang Ran still made such a move and took the initiative to please a rural man. How could Liu Lu not feel it.
Zhang Ran took the hot water, took a sip and said, "It's okay, no need to sleep. By the way, where is Dayong? Why didn't I see him?"
At this time, Zhang Ran remembered He Yonglai. He had forgotten about it because he had to drink with his in-laws.
"Uncle He is over there in the car, and I bring the food. I asked him to come over to eat, but he didn't come over," Liu Lu said.
Zhang Ran knew He Yong's character and said, "I understand. I'll go find him and take a walk to sober up."
"How about I accompany you?" Liu Lu said quickly, fearing that Zhang Ran was drunk.
"No, you stay at home and stay with your parents. I'll just ask Dayong to accompany me." Zhang Ran said.
Zhang Ran found He Yong and went out for a walk with him.
... ... ... ... ..
As soon as Zhang Ran left, Xiao Chunhua also arranged for Liu Mao. Looking at her daughter who had changed a lot, she didn't know how to speak for a while.
Only then did she realize that after so many years, she had rarely spoken to her daughter properly because of what happened back then. Xiao Chunhua was a little dazed for a while.
"Second Aunt, this is your son-in-law's car. It's not bad. He spent a lot of money this year." Someone shouted outside the door.
Xiao Chunhua was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then walked out to take a look, only to find two cars parked in front of her house.
"His second aunt, is your son-in-law getting rich?" someone said with a smile when they saw Xiao Chunhua coming out.
But there was no hint of envy or congratulation in his tone. Instead, it was mostly teasing.
Of course Xiao Chunhua heard it, but before she could retort, she was gently pulled by her son Liu Kai. Then she heard her son whisper: "These two cars were driven back by my brother-in-law and sister. "
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Chunhua fell silent. Like these people, she subconsciously thought that this car should be rented by Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu for the sake of face.
This made Xiao Chunhua's face instantly look ugly. In the eyes of many rural people, spending such unjust money just for the sake of face is a fool.
Two years ago, there was a young man in their village who was working outside. He rented a car and came back to save his face. At that time, everyone didn't know it, and they were really envious of him.
But then the car was hit by the young man, and the collision was so bad that it was almost destroyed. Fortunately, the young man was fine, but the car had to be compensated.
The young man had no money, so he had no choice but to ask for it at home, and the story spread like this.
Until now, this person is still the object of everyone's jokes, just like Liu Lu. For so many years, many parents in the village will use Liu Lu as an example when educating their daughters who are about to get married.
It can be said that Liu Lu just didn't listen to the advice of her family back then, but look at what kind of life she is living now.
That's why Xiao Chunhua's face was not good-looking back then. It had already become a joke in their family, and now it was added to the list. How could she be in a good mood
"None of your business? Our family is willing and able to ask your son to rent one for me to see." Xiao Chunhua seemed to be angry and started to curse.
"Haha, his second aunt, don't be angry. My boy is not so 'heroic'. If he dares to do this, I will break his legs."
Xiao Chunhua's face became more and more ugly after being squeezed, and then she went back to the house angrily. When she saw Liu Lu packing things in the yard, she was not in the mood to talk to her as before. She just muttered something when she passed by. The 'wasteful thing' left, leaving Liu Lu looking confused and aggrieved.
... ... ... ... ... ..
Zhang Ran and He Yong came to the entrance of the village together, sat on a big rock and basked in the sun, talking incessantly.
There are already many people standing here chatting at this time. Although they don't know Zhang Ran and the others, some people say hello from time to time.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are a lot of people visiting relatives, and it’s normal for them not to know each other.
But soon, Zhang Ran's face became a little unhappy. He heard about their family.
"Have you heard that that silly girl from Damao's family actually rented two luxury cars just to save her face? She spent a lot of money on it. I heard that it cost at least several thousand yuan a day."
"Who says it's not the case? It's probably because of the imbalance in her heart. After all, she didn't listen to her family's advice and ran away with her husband wholeheartedly. She didn't even ask for a betrothal gift. I heard that her mother even threatened death without giving in. She's back."
"Haha, if I raised such a daughter, I would be so angry that I couldn't help but think that we parents could harm them and go against us every day."
"Anyway, I won't let my daughter do this. If anyone wants to marry my daughter, he can't even think about it without a bride price of 180,000 yuan. If he doesn't even come up with a bride price, how do you expect him to treat my daughter well? Just dream."
"Yes, yes, yes, you see, the girls of the Damao family are just trying to get along for themselves, but what's the result? They didn't get anything. I heard that they had a very bad life in the devil's capital, and the couple's life was very tight. "
"I want to save face and suffer, but don't tell me, the husband she married is really thick-skinned. After so many years, he has even given birth to a child for him, but he hasn't even given him a penny in gift."
"How can I get a wife without spending a penny? How can I deceive this little girl if I don't have a thick skin?"
"Haha, yes."
