Tan Ruikang's relationship developed by leaps and bounds. He went there one day at noon, and saw Li Jing and Tan Ruikang eating in the general manager's office, eating the food Li Jing made by himself.
Li Jing held the chopsticks in her mouth and motioned Yuan Yuan to come and eat together. Yuan Yuan couldn't be busy, so she made an appointment at noon.
The two sides exchanged greetings for a while, said a few words and left.
He didn't want to ask too much about Tan Ruikang's relationship, and planned to let it develop naturally. If he had to have such a sister-in-law, he would rather have the gentle and independent Lin Xi.
But it can be seen that Tan Ruikang likes Li Jing very much. She is beautiful and relies on Tan Ruikang very much, and sometimes jokes with Yuan Yuan.
After a few meals, Yuan Yuan always felt that he couldn't guess Li Jing very well, and said a lot of words, as if he hadn't said anything.
Tan Ruikang invited Yuan Yuan, Zhao Guogang, and Shu Yan to have a meal and planned to bring Li Jing to meet her parents officially.
Zhao Guogang didn't seem to be satisfied with this prospective nephew's daughter-in-law. Yuan Yuan was keenly aware of it. He guessed that Zhao Guogang thought her education was too low.
"When is Xiaoyuan going to get married?" Zhao Guogang asked, "You will be 25 soon."
"Let's talk about it." Yuan Yuan said casually: "I have my brother and future sister-in-law to support me, so why fight?"
Li Jing laughed, and Zhao Guogang said, "Didn't you two brothers start this company together?"
"Yeah." Tan Ruikang smiled and said, "If Xiaoyuan is willing, selling the company will be enough for a lifetime."
Yuan Yuan smiled and said nothing.
During the banquet, Li Jing and Shu Yan went to the bathroom, Zhao Guogang, Tan Ruikang and the three men far away were left at the table.
Tan Ruikang asked, "Uncle, what do you think?"
Zhao Guogang didn't care much about Tan Ruikang, and said, "It's fine if you like it, as long as you think it's suitable."
Tan Ruikang asked again, "Where's Xiaoyuan?"
Yuan Yuan said: "I have always been indifferent..."
Tan Ruikang laughed at him about Lin Xi in the past, Yuan Yuan just listened lightly and said with a smile, "It was a child's temper back then. Let's be honest, brother, even if you marry a sister-in-law who doesn't like me, I won't I'll be at ease, because I'm not afraid of anything right now."
Tan Ruikang said with a smile, "she may still be a little afraid of you."
Yuan Yuan said: "I don't care, as long as she treats you well, of course, I think Li Jing should get along well."
Zhao Guogang said: "You have always been fearless, Xiaoyuan, always follow your own temperament."
Yuan Yuan said: "No, I didn't dare to do a lot of things before because I couldn't support myself until college. It doesn't matter now."
The three were silent for a while, Tan Ruikang smiled and said nothing.
Zhao Guogang specially reminded: "If you want to get married, remember to go back to your hometown to hold a banquet, take her to meet your parents, and pay respects to grandparents."
Tan Ruikang nodded hurriedly, and said far away, "Are you going to get married now?"
Tan Ruikang thought for a while and said, "I... a little bit want to get married."
Zhao Guogang said: "I will contact a friend to design and decorate a new house for you. The style will be shown to Xiaoyuan first."
Yuan Yuan said: "Forget it, you help us do it."
Yuan Yuan drank some wine, his face flushed, looking at Tan Ruikang, he suddenly smiled evilly.
Tan Ruikang: "?"
Yuan Yuan pointed at Tan Ruikang: "Dad, you know what, my brother is very old-fashioned, I know why he is in a hurry to get married, because he is not like you, he does not dare to have sex before marriage..."
Zhao Guogang and Tan Ruikang couldn't express the embarrassment at the time, Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "Nonsense, I will punish myself for a cup."
Back that day, Tan Ruikang sat at the table and thought for a long time, and asked, "Brother, do you have to propose first when you get married? Right?"
"Well." Yuan Yuan said: "You can plan, how to make people feel very moved and very happy, aren't you the best at doing this kind of thing?"
Tan Ruikang: "Why do I think your words are a little sour."
Yuan Yuan fluttered and laughed, thinking it was very funny.
Tan Ruikang thought for a long time, and Yuan Yuan said again: "Go propose."
Tan Ruikang said: "I... a little scared."
Yuan Yuan said: "It's okay, I'll accompany you tomorrow, you can ask whatever you want."
At noon the next day, the entire office building was a sensation.
"Yuankang's boss proposed on the seventeenth floor!"
"That girl is going to die happily."
"She was so happy that she cried!"
"Oh my god! I can't see that Lao is always such a romantic person..."
Yuan Yuan smiled and stood outside the crowd, saying, "Ma Liu has always been romantic, as long as he meets someone he likes."
For the first time in his life, Tan Ruikang played romance in front of many people, holding a flower in his left hand and a diamond ring in his right, kneeling on one knee for Li Jing and saying seriously, "Marry me, Li Jing, I love you. "
Everyone was booing at that moment, Li Jing took the diamond ring with a blushing face, cried for a while, and nodded.
Tan Ruikang kept laughing, his handsome face flushed to the root of his neck, and he had not recovered when he returned to his floor.
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "Look, I said she would accept it."
Tan Ruikang smiled and lay on the swivel chair, turning around happily.
A few days later, Li Jing went to hand in his resignation and accepted the blessings of all his colleagues. Then Tan Ruikang drove to see Li Jing's parents. He originally wanted to let Yuan Yuan go together, but Yuan Yuan asked him to go first. A meal, see each other.
Yuan Yuan represents Tan Ruikang's family. He is Tan Ruikang's only blood relative, and his status is similar to that of his parents. He can't see each other's parents for the first time.
That day, Tan Ruikang came back with a smile and turned the car key with his fingers. Everything went well. He went to the door far away that day, and when he came back, he saw Tan Ruikang and Li Jing sitting at home with their arms around each other and sitting on the sofa.
"Sister-in-law, sit down." Yuan Yuan signaled that she didn't need to get up. He and Li Jing were half-acquainted. She was more than a year younger than herself and had just graduated less than a year ago.
Tan Ruikang said, "Where did you go?"
Yuan Yuan said: "Find a designer to design a wedding room for you. My dad is watching the decoration over there. The drawings are here. You can take a look at a few plans."
Tan Ruikang said: "You choose, your vision is always good."
Yuan Yuan said: "He gave me these plans, you can take a look."
Tan Ruikang said: "I can't, you have the final say."
He glanced at him in the distance, saw Li Jing in his arms in a daze, thought if she wanted to ask her what she meant, after all, it was also her wedding room, so she said, "The sister-in-law choose one."
"I won't." Li Jing hurriedly smiled and said, "I didn't pay for it. Xiaoyuan can choose. You have a good choice."
Yuan Yuan had a headache and said, "Then I choose."
Tan Ruikang looked at his watch and said, "I'll go to the company. I'll come back in the evening to pick you up for dinner. I'll be back in two or three hours. Wife, you play with Xiaoyuan at home."
Li Jing snorted, Tan Ruikang left, leaving Yuan Yuan and Li Jing at home.
Li Jing came over and said, "Xiaoyuan, how long will the renovation take? Am I going to help? I'm also resigning now."
Yuan Yuan said, "sister-in-law, you can just call my brother. If you want to marry my brother, we will be a family from now on."
Li Jing smiled and said, "Then I will call you brother from now on."
Yuan Yuan nodded, he felt that Li Jing was not as good as Lin Xi, but he should have a good heart and could get along well in the future. Not even a fight.
"I discussed it with my brother yesterday." Yuan Yuan said, "My dad is renovating the wedding room over there. You should live here for a while, and then move in after the decoration is finished and the smell is gone."
Li Jing got up to look and said with a smile, "Which room does Tan Ruikang live in?"
"The smallest one." Yuan Yuan revised the decoration plan with a pen, and said, "The one facing the door is my bedroom, and the other is my dad's. Your rent contract expires at the end of the month, right? After moving in, you will The two live in my room, it's only a few months anyway."
Li Jing hurriedly said: "No, no, don't move here, we can sleep in this room, there should be a lot of memories of Tan Ruikang's childhood."
Yuan Yuan knew that Li Jing did not dare to let him sleep in a small room, but he could never let Tan Ruikang and his wife sleep in a servant's room. His bed was still a single bed, and he hadn't changed it for so many years. Down
"Sister-in-law, you are too polite." Yuan Yuan said, "You two live in my room, and I sleep in my dad's room. I discussed it with my brother yesterday."
"Oh." Li Jing laughed.
He would rather Li Jing be more direct. She is always polite, which makes him unable to communicate with her at all.
Li Jing looked at Tan Ruikang's stuff in the room and said, "Did he get good grades when he was a child?"
Yuan Yuan said: "It has always been very good. I went to school and he taught me everything. I am lazy and unconscious when reading."
Li Jing snorted and said, "He said that he was a poor child when he was a child, and he only looked like this when he came to your house."
Hearing this, Yuan Yuan felt a little uncomfortable. What does "coming to your house" mean? He remembered the dirty look of Tan Ruikang sitting on the sofa when he first arrived. It turns out that after so many years, Tan Ruikang still remembers this in his heart.
"It should be our home." Yuan Yuan whispered.
"What?" Li Jing didn't hear clearly.
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "It's nothing."
Li Jing smiled and said, "Brother, let's live together in the future, right? He said that the marriage room there is very big, and the two families will live together in the future."
Yuan Yuan hummed a few times and asked, "Did he take you there? Would you like to see it?"
Li Jing said, "I've been to the community, but I haven't seen the house, okay, can you drive?"
Yuan Yuan pointed to the top of the refrigerator and said, "I don't have time to go out today, there are keys on it, you know my dad's phone number, just call him downstairs, and he was still there when I just came back. home."
Li Jing smiled and said, "Then let Tan Ruikang come back."
She went to watch TV, and Yuan Yuan continued to write and draw at the desk, referring to the quotations of the material dealers to choose the decoration materials for the new house.
Tan Ruikang came back in the evening and took them to dinner. A few days later, Li Jing's rent was due, and Tan Ruikang called a few employees to help her move. Li Jing didn't have much stuff, and when she moved in, Yuan Yuan suddenly felt a little strange. Are you going to live with this girl
Yuan Yuan wants her to go out a little, don't come to his house, he doesn't know her, but he knows he can't do it, what did she do wrong? Their family has money and a house, and a little girl who works outside, how can she bully others? Let Tan Ruikang go to rent a house to live in, it's even more unreasonable, they will be a family in the future, and they will always live together.
Yuan Yuan kept convincing himself that he should accept her first, and treat her as a member of the family that cannot be excluded.
Tan Ruikang came back very early that night, talking to Li Jing in the room, and sat outside watching TV in the distance. After a while, Tan Ruikang came out and said, "Brother, I'd better go to sleep in my room."
"You always have to sleep together." Yuan Yuan said, "Aren't you going to get married?"
Tan Ruikang was very embarrassed. After thinking about it, he finally shook his head.
Yuan Yuan said, "You don't dare to do that. It's the same after you get married. You don't need that for a bed."
Tan Ruikang thought for a long time again, as if he had made up his mind a little, went to take a bath, changed pajamas, and entered the room.
Yuan Yuan turned off the TV and went back to his father's room. After half an hour, he remembered something and knocked on his door.
Inside, Li Jing laughed and Tan Ruikang spoke in a low voice.
Yuan Yuan said: "Did you sleep? Let's talk about it tomorrow when you sleep."
Tan Ruikang smiled and said, "No, come in, the door is unlocked."
Yuan Yuan was a little surprised, why Tan Ruikang didn't even lock the door. After pushing the door in, he saw Tan Ruikang leaning on the bed, two unbuttoned pajamas, revealing his bronze chest, Li Jing snuggled up to him with a smile.
"I'll get something." Yuan Yuan said.
He found a cardboard box from the storage box under the wardrobe. Li Jing looked at it curiously, and Tan Ruikang said, "Brother, good night."
"Good night." Yuan Yuan turned off the light for him, pressed the door lock, and took it with him.
He carried the cardboard box back to his father's room and sat down. He took out the birthday gifts that Tan Ruikang had given him over the years and looked at them one by one for the last time, sealed them with adhesive tape, and put them under the bed.
Li Jing officially moved in at home. She was very careful about this unfamiliar environment, and her living habits were also very good, so she would not disturb the things in the house.
Yuan Yuan didn't know if Tan Ruikang and Li Jing did that or not. They were getting married anyway, so he didn't ask him.
Tan Ruikang likes her very much. She thinks that it is not easy for her to work outside alone, and her personality is also very good. The most important thing is that she is also good to Tan Ruikang. She will call him several times a day, ask him what he is doing in the morning, and go to him at noon. After dinner, I made a few phone calls shortly after I came back in the afternoon.
Just like when Yuan Yuan and Tan Ruikang exchanged text messages when he first went to college, it was a sign of love.
Yuan Yuan is very clear about this feeling. If they haven't seen each other for a moment, they will miss each other, want to hear each other's voice, and say a few meaningless words.
When Tan Ruikang talked about love, Yuan Yuan realized that he was really crazy - it was completely different from when Lin Xi got along with him before. Lin Xi and him can't be called love at all, this is true love.
Tan Ruikang brings little gifts to Li Jing every day after get off work, sometimes flowers, sometimes chocolates, sometimes a box of fruit candies, sometimes a small card, sometimes a small book, and misses in the company Li Jing, who draws sketches, sometimes sings songs to Li Jing outside the door.
This kind of treatment has never been seen even far away. Tan Ruikang changed his tricks to make her happy, and couldn't help but sigh that this is the happiest bride in the world.
After get off work, we went out to eat together. Yuan Yuan didn’t want to see the two of them tired at all, and it was boring to shoot three people, so he often asked other friends to eat together at night, and he would rather be the light bulb of Zhang Zhen’s husband and wife, and not stay with their children. at home.
A few days later, when Yuan Yuan had just returned home, Li Jing said, "Brother, I have your package. The two came together. I will sign for you."
"Oh." Yuan Yuan said, "I'll see..."
Yuan Yuan opened the package on the table and took out a lot of food, all of which were specialties from the Northwest region. Li Jing said, "You still like to eat this."
"It tastes very good." Yuan Yuan unpacked and asked her if she could taste it, and she took a piece of peanut candy to eat.
There were also a lot of wedding candy, two packs of cigarettes, and a crooked little pillow made by Lin Xi for his elbows.
Yuan Yuan laughed, and Li Jing said, "Who gave this? Is it your girlfriend?"
Yuan Yuan took the pillow and tried to cushion his arm, and said, "It's my sister."
"You have a sister?" Li Jing asked.
"Sister Gan." Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "I recognized it in college."
Li Jing said, "Is she also Tan Ruikang's sister?"
Yuan Yuan said: "No... She only recognized me as her younger brother."
Li Jing said, "Tan Ruikang also knows it."
Yuan Yuan hummed, thinking about how a woman's radar is so sensitive... He didn't dare to say more, he put away the box, took out the snacks to eat, carried the little pig to the floor-to-ceiling window to adjust the seat cushion, and opened another box.
There are some textbooks for the exam. Li Jing said, "Brother, is this the book you bought?"
"Yeah." Yuan Yuan nodded and said, "IELTS textbook."
Li Jing said, "Do you want to go abroad?"
Yuan Yuan said: "Not necessarily. If you can pass the exam, you can study abroad for a few years."
Li Jing: "When are you going?"
Yuan Yuan said: "I didn't think about it, I put it down for too many years, and I can't understand it anymore."
Li Jing smiled and said, "Your family is so rich, you still need to take the test. One of my high school classmates spent 700,000 yuan and went abroad for a few years before coming back."
Distant: "… "
This girl is five years younger than Yuan Yuan. She has just graduated for more than a year. Yuan Yuan's preconceived way of communicating with sister-type girls has almost all failed in her life during this period of time. Yuan Yuan is often told by her father that she is ignorant. I feel that Li Jing is less sensible than him. Maybe it was because he was too young or he didn't go to college. He was very fortunate that he sold milk tea before graduating from high school. Although it was useless to learn a major in four years of college, it at least made him mature a lot.
That night, Tan Ruikang asked Yuan Yuan, "Brother, are you going abroad?"
Yuan Yuan thought to himself how he found out so quickly, and replied, "My dad asked me to go out to study for a few years and read business English. He also has to do foreign trade in his company, so that he can gradually take over. Moreover, Yuan Kang wants to expand exports. It will be a lot easier in the market, isn't it?"
Tan Ruikang was quiet for a while, and then asked, "How many years?"
Yuan Yuan said: "Two or three years. What's wrong?"
He reached out to pick up Tan Ruikang's ear. Tan Ruikang seemed a little lost and said, "Then... sign up for a class. New Oriental's IELTS is good."
Yuan Yuan said, "I'll think about it when you get married. I'm not busy. I'll read the book first. After the English test, it's almost useless. I forgot all about it."
Tan Ruikang was going to make a late-night snack for Yuan Yuan. He was very busy these days and couldn't take care of his home. Zhao Guogang was helping him to set a wedding date.
Tan Ruikang's birthday is very big, and there are only a few dates to get it back, one in July, one in December, and the other until the end of January.
Tan Ruikang took it back and asked Yuan Yuan, Yuan Yuan thought to himself why he had to ask him what he meant, how would he want to get married and why not get married
"What did my sister-in-law say?" Yuan Yuan asked.
Tan Ruikang said: "She wants to have a wedding in July."
Yuan Yuan said: "Will it be too early in July... The house over there in July has not been able to move in yet, and the end of January is not good for the New Year's day, but December is actually better... Why am I like your mother, Next time I will discuss it myself.”
Tan Ruikang said, "I'll go ask."
That night, Tan Ruikang and Li Jing quarreled. Yuan Yuan grew up and heard a quarrel between husband and wife for the first time. He was shocked. He wanted to knock on the door and tell them to stop arguing. What's the point of getting married in a few months? Li Jing's voice was a bit sharp, and Tan Ruikang finally said, "Can you just say something if you have something to say?!"
Yuan Yuan listened for a while, and didn't go back to sleep until the room was quiet.
A few days later, the relationship between Tan Ruikang and Li Jing seemed to be a little tense, and Yuan Yuan felt it sensitively, but they did not interfere with their housework.
Tan Ruikang has always been very unhappy. They finally set a wedding date in July. Yuan Yuan felt that it was too urgent. The wedding room over there has not been decorated yet.
Counting the days, it took more than four months from when Tan Ruikang met Li Jing to the time of marriage. This could be regarded as a flash marriage. Shenzhen is getting hotter and hotter. In May, the first typhoon was brewing in the Pacific Ocean. The weather was a bit sultry. Far away did not wake up until noon. I saw Tan Ruikang watching TV in the living room and Li Jing eating snacks.
"Your sister sent it to you?" Tan Ruikang asked.
Yuan Yuan said: "Well, I specifically told her not to buy preservatives, try it?"
Tan Ruikang said, "How is her husband?"
Yuan Yuan said: "One meter nine, tall and big, he is a policeman."
Li Jing said, "Did the three of you have a good relationship before?"
Tan Ruikang hummed and didn't say much, and said far away: "How much did the U.S. stock market close yesterday? I haven't read it yet. Has the financial report for the first half of the year come out?"
Tan Ruikang said, "Look at this, there's an earthquake."
On TV is an expert saying:
"The energy released by this earthquake is equivalent to the detonation of an atomic bomb of multiple magnitudes on the ground..."
Yuan Yuan said, "There's an earthquake, where?"
Tan Ruikang said: "Sichuan, I don't know yet. Today, people from the company said they felt an earthquake on the 15th floor."
Yuan Yuan said: "How come I don't feel at all, God, at least hundreds of thousands of people will die in this kind of earthquake..."
Li Jing said, "I didn't either. I didn't wake up until I slept."
Tan Ruikang said: "It is estimated that I will have to donate money in a while."
Yuan Yuan hummed, and Li Jing asked again, "Do you have to donate money in this situation?"
Yuan Yuan said, "My dad donated money to fight the flood in 1998 and the snow disaster in the past year."
Li Jing asked, "How much do you usually donate?"
Tan Ruikang looked far away and asked, "How much to donate?"
Yuan Yuan thought about it for a while, ate the beef jerky, and said, "I haven't checked the ledger, how much was the profit in April?"
Tan Ruikang slapped him, knowing that it was 500,000 yuan, and said, "Donate more, donate 200,000 yuan."
Li Jing opened her mouth slightly, Tan Ruikang nodded and said, "Are you cooking now?"
Yuan Yuan said: "Come on, I'm hungry." He took the remote control to change the channel.
Li Jing said, "Why don't your family hire a nanny."
Yuan Yuan said: "I don't like the food made by the nanny. It doesn't taste like home, but when I move, I need to hire a nanny."
After changing a few stations, all talking about the earthquake, Li Jing added: "200,000 is enough for a rural person to live a lifetime."
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "This is the accumulation of yin and virtue, and it must be donated. My father is old and his health is not good, and my mother's uncle's incense has not been prosperous. It is worthwhile to have money to do good deeds. ."
Li Jing said: "It's not that you donate a lot, it's just lamenting the huge gap between the rich and the poor in this society."
"Yeah." Yuan Yuan was also a little touched. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. He thought about it and said, "When my brother and I were studying in the past, there was gold everywhere in Shenzhen. People who work hard can make money, and people with a junior high school education can afford a house and a car as long as they work hard. Many of the current big bosses were born as wage earners back then.”
"What about now?" Yuan Yuan didn't know what emotion he was expressing, but Chao Lijing said, "Now that the capital market has taken shape, college students are all worthless, and those who come to work in the south receive a salary of several thousand yuan, and they are sacked every day. The boss keeps going around, working overtime until 11 or 12 o’clock in the evening, and there is no overtime pay. What kind of work you like to do or not, some people do it, if you think about it carefully, they are all making money for people and being squeezed by the boss. The salary is a little more. It's all about taking lives in exchange."
Li Jing said: "The first company I came to work for, the boss offered me a salary of 1,500 yuan, and it was not enough to rent a house! But what can I do, if I don't do it, some people do it."
Yuan Yuan said: "The renminbi has been more than one-to-one against the Hong Kong dollar for many years, and it has been appreciating continuously. The stock market is in a mess, and the property price has risen so much that no one can afford it. It's more than a million. The money saved by working for a lifetime is not enough to pay a down payment... "
"... This is a sick capital society." Yuan Yuan turned off the TV and went to lunch.
