As early as a few months ago, Dad Jiang was inexplicably promoted to a higher level and entered the core leadership team. The same is true for Jiang Ma, who is now the head of a certain Qingshui yamen. In Shengtian's three-acre land, the old couple can be regarded as high-ranking and powerful.
Administrative changes at this level usually have to be held in the new year, or when there is a serious violation of discipline, there will be a temporary increase in manpower.
They have been up and down in the officialdom for many years, so they naturally know the truth, but the more they understand, the more at a loss. It wasn't until Father Jiang saw a top-secret document a while ago that he figured out what happened.
There are two main characters in that file, unfortunately, one is my daughter and the other is her boyfriend. He didn't know whether it was intentional or not. In short, the old couple stayed in a daze for three days before they regained their composure.
Our daughter has cultivated immortality, and the relationship with the country is still very tough... You can taste this kind of feeling, it's so sour!
So much so that when they learned that their daughter was going home to visit, they were not surprised but nervous. Especially Jiang Ma, who has been in a mess since just now, and kept muttering: "What should I do? What should I do? I'll be back in a while."
"Come back as soon as you come back, why panic?"
"Can I not panic, what shall we say then?"
"Just say what you want, after all, she is still our daughter." Father Jiang said.
"Yes, yes..."
Jiang Ma opened her mouth and finally sighed: "Yes, she is our daughter after all."
"Ding dong ding dong!"
The two were discussing when they heard the doorbell ring. Jiang Ma trembled suddenly, but at least she was a leader, so she quickly calmed down and leaned over to open the door.
As soon as the door was opened, I saw my daughter poking outside, and there was a young man standing beside her. There is no such and such style of painting as imagined, and it is quite pleasing to the eye.
"..."
"mom!"
Seeing her silent for a long time, Xiao Zhai couldn't help calling out. Gu Yu followed suit and said, "Hello, Auntie!"
"Oh, hello, hello, you are, Xiao Gu, right?"
Jiang Ma came back to her senses, couldn't help but paused, and boldly addressed her with a salutation. There is no way, it is said that even the imperial envoy of the emperor has to be called Mr. Gu, she is really a little frightened.
Gu Yu was the same, handed over the small gift box, and said with a smile: "Heh, I came to see you specially today. It's just a little bit of care, so don't dislike it."
"Okay, come on, come into the house."
Jiang Ma was instantly relieved by the other party's secular etiquette. When the two entered the living room, they greeted Father Jiang again, and the atmosphere was fine.
After meeting each other, the two of them understood, just as Xiao Zhai thought: Sure enough, I know!
It is impossible for the government to let go of this opportunity. Think about it, the daughter is practicing Taoism, but the parents are officials, and this loophole will come out immediately. What they have to do is to throw out two official positions and some information: if they are lucky, they can win over the other party;
It can be described as a bonanza.
But having said that, according to the general routine, when the boyfriend comes to the door for the first time, the woman and mother usually find an excuse to sneak into the kitchen, leaving the boyfriend and dad in the living room. Men match men, women match women, each asks his own question.
It's almost a pattern, even down to the same location.
The topics on the woman's side are summarized as follows: monthly salary, bonus, caravan, family background, personality, physical condition, and even sexual ability and frequency.
The topics on the men's side are summarized as follows: work, position, goals, workplace environment, development space, major domestic and foreign events, and stock quotes.
It's endless, and when it ends depends entirely on what you cook.
It was the same today, Jiang Ma took Xiao Zhai into the kitchen, leaving Jiang Dad and Gu Yu in the living room, and then stared at each other... Jiang Dad is very talkative, but what did you ask him to ask
Work: Monasticism.
Position: Head of Phoenix Mountain.
Target: Angel.
Workplace environment: just started, extremely difficult, hard to fight at any time.
Please, silly chat!
After being stiff for a long time, Gu Yu still said: "Uh, uncle, I brought you two boxes of tranquilizing incense, which can regulate the body and help you sleep. Take a look."
With that said, he handed over the gift box.
Father Jiang took it and took a look, seeing the sixty sticks of incense sticks lined up like works of art, he also admired: "Not bad, you have a heart."
"..."
"..."
Then it was speechless again.
Just at this moment, when the kitchen door opened, Xiao Zhai came out suddenly, and said with a smile, "Hey, my mother heard that you are good at cooking, so go and help me out."
"oh!"
Gu Yu hurriedly got up, and when he passed by his girlfriend, he touched his little hand in a tacit understanding. It was obvious that there was also embarrassment over there.
Ever since, the two of them switched positions instantly, hey, this time there is something to say.
…
"The most important thing about this pot-wrapped meat is to coat it with flour. Beat egg white into the starch to make a batter, and then roll it with the meat, so that the batter can be hung evenly, so that it won't be thin or thick."
In the kitchen, Gu Yu picked up slices of tenderloin wrapped in batter, heated the oil to 60% heat, and sizzled it in. Fry it with medium heat first, remove it, and then turn up the heat to continue frying thoroughly.
Jiang Ma saw that his movements were extremely proficient, so she couldn't help laughing and said: "You are really good at it, do you usually cook by yourself?"
"Yeah, I've been cooking for myself since I was a child, and now I cook for her too. But she doesn't like meat, so she cooks more vegetarian dishes."
"That's right, her father and I both love meat, she doesn't follow us at all, just follow her grandfather."
Jiang Ma helped her and said with a smile: "This child looks very talkative, but she is actually very stubborn. I remember that when she was just in middle school, I came home from a holiday and I cooked a table of meat dishes. She really liked it. She just didn't take a bite, and just picked up a bowl of dry rice. Ouch, I made her father angry... "
"Ah? And what about this?"
Gu Yu regained his energy and was very happy to listen to his girlfriend's dark history.
"Yes! When she was a child, she was like a live donkey. She couldn't pull it back. It will be better when she goes to college. That girl is too temperamental, and she has never been in a relationship before. If there is something excessive, you have to bear it. "
"Don't worry, this kind of thing is for both parties. We are doing well, at least we haven't quarreled."
Gu Yu fished out the pot of meat, and continued in his heart: What the hell is fighting!
"well… "
Jiang Ma listened, but paused for no reason, and then sighed.
The woman's point is very strange, and it can be touched anywhere. She was still a little awkward at first, but she relaxed after chatting, and looked at her more and more like a mother-in-law, and the more she looked, the more emotional she became.
"This child has not been with me since she was a child. To be honest, we don't know much about her. But after all, it is the flesh that fell from my body. To tell you the truth, I have been pressing this matter in my heart recently. Sometimes I can dream Now, maybe she will never come back after leaving..."
Jiang Ma took a cotton cloth and carefully wiped off the oil stains on the side of the plate, then turned and opened the door, and said softly, "You guys can come back today to take a look, especially if you are with her, I am really happy."
"..."
Gu Yu blinked, and left the kitchen with a plate of dishes.
Not long after, the four sat down in the dining room. Xiao Zhai's mood also fluctuated a bit, apparently he had talked to his father about something, but they were very restrained and reserved.
The atmosphere at the dinner table finally became a little more relaxed. After dinner, the two of them sat until the afternoon before saying goodbye to Jiang's father and Jiang's mother.
The sun outside was dazzling, and the heat radiated whitely. The whole city was listless, and even the air was scorched by the heat waves.
The two walked hand in hand on the road, silent for a while.
After a while, Xiao Zhai suddenly said: "Actually, I always thought that blood relationship and emotion are two different things."
"How?" Gu Yu asked.
"Blood relationship is a natural social relationship, which only means that you have the responsibility to educate your children and support your parents. But whether you have feelings for them determines how much you will give."
"Well, I agree!" Gu Yu nodded.
"But now I feel that I have neglected one thing. To be honest, I don't have deep feelings for my parents, but I have ignored their feelings for me. This thing is also something I have to bear."
"Well, I agree too!" He nodded again.
"Do you still have a point?"
"Yes, I understand what you said, and there is no contradiction."
Gu Yu really understands, it's very simple, just like many children in modern society, they are sent to study early without being with their parents. They naturally feel that they have no feelings, but they often ignore their parents' love for them, which also needs to be responded to.
Of course, there are also some parents who are devoid of conscience and abandon and abuse their children.
This question seems to be innocuous, but it is very important to Xiao Zhai. If she can't figure it out, she may encounter Long Qiu's situation when she breaks through in the future, and her mood will be broken.
"So, what do you think now?" he asked.
"..."
Xiao Zhai was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Only for this life, but for children."
…
"Wow, little Jinjin!"
"Wow, silly Jiaojiao!"
It was getting dark, and in the biggest nightclub in Shengtian, Xiao Jin and Chen Jiao happily hugged each other. They were best friends in high school, and they separated when they entered college. They have regular gatherings every winter and summer, and their relationship has always been good.
"You are finally willing to come to me, I thought you had a new love!"
"That's right, I just got a new love, come on, let me introduce to you..."
Xiao Jin hugged Long Qiu and said cheerfully, "This is my girlfriend, is she prettier than you?"
"Bah! Shameless!"
Chen Jiao spat, but she had to admit that this young lady was fair and beautiful, with a slender waist and long legs, and she was quite a goddess.
"Jinjin, can we go out? It's too noisy here."
But Long Qiu was very uncomfortable, the shop was dark, the music was banging and banging, and there were couples of men and women rubbing against each other on the dance floor to generate heat, which really didn't please them.
This place was decided by Chen Jiao. It stands to reason that she should show some face when they meet for the first time. But she is a Miao person, why should she know this, and speak up directly when she has something to say.
When Chen Jiao heard this, she immediately frowned, and said unhappily: "Then change the place, go to the bar on the next street, it's quiet there."
The three of them didn't stay for ten minutes, and went out again. She fell behind and asked Xiaojin quietly: "Hey, where did you find the white lotus? So conservative?"
"Ha! She is not a white lotus, she can scare you to death!"
"Huh? Could it be that she is a white lotus bitch?" Chen Jiao was puzzled.
puff!
Xiao Jin covered her mouth in fright. Even though the young lady has a good temper, it doesn't mean she has no temper. If people really want to kill them, they don't even need golden silkworms. Is there any needle Gu
She was so frightened that she insisted on giving it a try, but she foamed at the first try.
The girls were all driving and quickly moved to the bar. As a result, as soon as she sat down, Chen Jiao's phone rang, and she found out that it was her brother.
"Hello? Brother, I'm with Jinjin... Oh, I'm not going, what's the matter?"
"What? Can't it be another day, I just came out... ouch, you've given me a bad reputation, it's okay, okay, just wait!"
She hung up the phone and said embarrassingly: "Well, my brother has something to do with me, I have to leave right away."
"Why are you going?" Xiao Jin was annoyed.
"What kind of expert is it? It's like a fortune teller. Let me meet you."
"Fortune teller?"
Xiao Jin rolled her eyes and said, "Hey, shall we go together? I want to do the math too."
"Well… "
Chen Jiao hesitated a little, but she didn't want to save her girlfriend's face, so she said, "Well, it's all a scam anyway."
While talking, the three of them ran out again like they were catching a big market, and each got into the car.
Chen Jiao led the way, and the two girls followed behind. Long Qiu didn't like this kind of activity very much, and asked, "Jin Jin, why are we going to join in the fun?"
"Tsk, why don't you have any sense of territory?"
Xiao Jin held the steering wheel with one hand, gestured and educated, "Whose territory is this? This is our territory! In front of my sister and my brother-in-law, how dare he call him an expert?"
