Listening to Zhao Jingjing's words, Zhao Zhenbang's face also felt a little sour.
He shook his head with a wry smile, then reached out and patted Zhao Jingjing on the shoulder and said: "Silly boy, your father has always treated you like this, and you only know now? But your aunt is not bad, you don't want to Is it okay to always treat her like an enemy? You are also about to get married soon. You should stand higher and see farther when doing things, don’t you think? "
Hearing what Zhao Zhenbang said, Liu Yang grinned and almost laughed out loud.
Being married soon, what does it have to do with standing higher and seeing farther when doing things? It seems that every family has a difficult scripture to recite. This prospective father-in-law may be really embarrassed when it comes to dealing with family issues. In order to ease the conflict between my daughter and my wife, I even said this.
If Liu Yang was not nervous at all after entering a wealthy family like the Zhao family, he would be bragging.
However, at this moment, the tension that he had been suppressing in his heart suddenly melted and collapsed like ice and fire.
Such a family also has conflicts, quarrels, family affection, and indifference... How is it different from ordinary families
Just when he was thinking about it, Zhao Zhenbang, who was walking in front, suddenly turned back and said with a majestic look: "Liu Yang, come in with me..."
This old man can flip out faster than he can turn over a book. He was so pleasant just now, but now he is completely different when talking to himself.
"Dad..." Zhao Jingjing tugged on her father's sleeves, but Zhao Zhenbang said to her without changing his expression: "Your aunt is here. You should say hello to your elders when you come back. Why don't you go..."
His words clearly meant that he wanted to send Zhao Jingjing away. Liu Yang smiled at Zhao Jingjing and said, "Go ahead, I will have a good chat with Uncle Zhao."
Zhao Jingjing looked at her father, then at Liu Yang, then she paused her feet and whispered: "Speak properly, I have everything!"
With these words, Zhao Zhenbang almost lost his breath and vomited blood. This is really the case for girls who are outgoing and will not stay when they grow up. For the sake of her lifelong happiness, I want to touch this guy's bottom, but if you cheer him up in front of me, why should I touch him
The living room on the east side of the first floor is decorated in a simple and solemn way, with Chinese-style wooden bookcases and Chinese-style wooden sofas dignified and heavy, exuding a sense of grandeur.
On the sofa in the center of the hall, an old man with a slender appearance was sitting upright, holding a document in his hand and looking at it intently. When he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he looked up and looked at the one in front of him. Zhao Zhenbang and Liu Yang walked in later, their eyes as sharp as knives focused on Liu Yang.
This kind of look that pierced the bone marrow only paused on Liu Yang for a short two or three seconds, but Liu Yang seemed to have just come out of the stove and been put into sex again, and he couldn't help but get up. I had goosebumps all over my body, and the feeling of being trapped between hot and cold could not be described in words.
"Here you are... sit down and wait!" After saying this, the old man continued to pick up the document and looked down at it, as if the two of them did not exist.
He was told to wait, but more than half an hour passed quickly. Seeing the setting sun coming in from the window sill, it moved from the center of the bookcase to the south corner of the cabinet. None of the old people raised their heads to speak. , just let the two of them sit there.
Zhao Zhenbang was a little better. After hearing what the old man said, he took a copy of "Seeking Truth" from the coffee table and read it. His expression was neither arrogant nor impetuous, as if he was used to such a scene.
Anyone can see that Liu Yang's situation is a bit awkward. Sitting there feels like a thorn in his back. No one pays attention to him, no one offers him tea, and no one even raises his eyelids to glance at him.
And for such a long time, from the moment he entered the room and sat there, Liu Yang, who was sitting upright on the sofa, sat so quietly, with his back straight and his posture not even changing. There was nothing unusual in his clear eyes. Patiently, his eyes were very focused on the books displayed in the bookcase in front of him, with a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Zhao Zhenbang, who had been watching Liu Yang's performance out of the corner of his eye, couldn't help but lose his composure. I sighed slightly in my heart: "This little guy shouldn't be thirty years old this year, right? How can he be more calm than those ordinary old guys? There are many good books in the bookcase opposite, but you just look at the spines of the books Could it be that the title of the book printed on it is really so much fun?"
In fact, Liu Yang knew very well that this was a test for him by the Zhao family. Whether he could successfully obtain the certificate with Zhao Jingjing depended on whether he could pass this test safely.
In fact, ever since he promised Zhao Jingjing to accompany her into this home, Liu Yang had already thought about going through many hurdles. However, he really didn't expect that the first level of the Zhao family would actually test his sitting skills.
"Without indifference, one cannot achieve clear aspirations; without tranquility, one cannot reach far." Since these two sentences appeared in Zhuge Liang's "Book of Commandments", "Only by not pursuing fame and fortune and living a simple and plain life can you show your ambition; do not pursue Only when you are lively and have a peaceful mind can you achieve your lofty goals." It is believed by many elderly people as a golden rule.
In fact, such a big realm cannot be achieved without practicing to a certain level. Even Zhuge Zhiliang was promoting himself by singing "Liang Fu Yin" every day, right? Unexpectedly, the Zhao family would use such profound demands on themselves.
It seems that the old man in front of me really thinks highly of him!
Liu Yang knew that as long as he showed a little bit of impatience at this time, the score would be lowered in the heart of the old man in front of him. But there was nothing he could do. The old man in front of him was not only Zhao Jingjing's elder, he was also one of the nine most powerful old men in this country with a population of more than one billion.
The old man in front of him was in his sixties. Liu Yang had seen his image on TV many times. There was no need to guess, Liu Yang already knew who he was.
The most important point is that Zhao Zhenbang said something when he asked Zhao Jingjing to leave, which provided Liu Yang with strong evidence: "Your aunt is here..."
This old man is Zhao Jingjing’s uncle Zhao Zhenzhong!
Although it can't be said that the father-in-law and the mother-in-law are not separated from each other, the fact that he, the hairy son-in-law of the Zhao family, comes to visit, I think the elderly people who come to the Zhao family are also very concerned. I just don’t know if the old man who has long since retired from the altar will appear today
"Dang, dang, dang..." The hour hand of the old-fashioned wall clock on the wall pointed exactly at "6". The old man who had been looking down at the documents heard the dang, dang, dang, sound of the wall clock, and finally coughed and put it down. With the document in his hand, he raised his hand and took off the reading glasses on his nose.
While raising his head again, the old man had a serious expression on his face: "Huling is a good place. It is a fertile field with water and fish. It is a famous land of plenty. However, it has always been protected by the national policy of cultivated land. There is no large-scale industrial investment, farmers only rely on digging food in the soil, and their lives are relatively difficult... What are your thoughts on these?"
Zhao Zhenzhong asked about "ideas" rather than "opinions". This does not mean that he simply wants to understand the situation below, but also means to compare.
The eldest brother's question is relatively general, but the wider the circle of this topic, the harder it is to answer. Zhao Zhenbang also served as county magistrate and mayor. Although he is now a ministerial-level cadre, he will soon take office in Nanyue and be in charge of the most economically developed city in the country.
Generally speaking, the more economically developed an area is, the more backward and neglected its agriculture is. This problem is actually something he has been thinking hard about these days.
And even I haven't figured it out, and what can Liu Yang, a half-year-old child, think
Sure enough, after listening to Zhao Zhenzhong's words, Liu Yang's eyebrows almost twisted into the character "Chuan". At this time, his eyes also moved away from the bookcase, staring closely at his toes, and folded his hands together and rubbed them, as if he didn't know how to speak at all.
Seeing his expression, Zhao Zhenzhong became calmer, and Zhao Zhenbang's face was obviously disappointed.
Judging from the way my daughter treated this young man, she had reached the point where she would not marry him unless she was married. Although he objected at first, the old man had no choice but to support it, saying that he had to make a living when he was young.
No matter what origin or family status, they are not the same thing in the old man's heart.
The three second-generation brothers of the old Zhao family gave birth to seven grandchildren, and only one granddaughter was Zhao Jingjing. In addition, her mother passed away early, so Zhao Jingjing grew up with the old man. This resulted in Zhao Jingjing's unique position in the Zhao family that no one could match.
As long as it is something that his precious granddaughter likes, it is good in the eyes of the old man.
Even if this kid is just a pile of smelly shit, as long as Zhao Jingjing says yes, the old man will probably smile and say it tastes good.
It's just that if this young man is really a piece of mud, he can't get up the wall no matter how hard he tries. As the father-in-law of this kid, Zhao Zhenbang still feels very embarrassed.
Ever since it was reported that the baby girl had found a grassroots man in the countryside, all the young ladies in the capital had their mouths twisted with smiles. The proud little swan finally married herself this time, but she just found a toad...
Since such words can reach my own ears and eyes, I'm not sure what those people will say in private. Otherwise, Fang Suxin wouldn't be so angry. The young men she introduced to Jingjing were all rich and noble young men.
Not only Fang Suxin, the stepmother, but also her sisters-in-law introduced many brothers from the family to Zhao Jingjing.
After all, the Zhao family is now one of the most prestigious political families. Being able to become the son-in-law of the Zhao family can save some young people from struggling for at least twenty years; being able to become the in-law of the Zhao family is a major event that many families dream of.
But now it's good, Zhao Jingjing just found such a person... It's just that Zhao Jingjing has the support of the old man behind her. Otherwise, not to mention outside, just within the family, it might cause some uproar.
