Xitang Town is one of the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River and one of the birthplaces of Wuyue culture. The first wave of spring breeze ushered in by the reform and opening up came to this small town located at the junction of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Here a small restaurant called Xiao

Liu Mang's parents, Tong Xiaoying and Liu Lijie, of Ying Restaurant, initially relied on Liu Mang's father's fellow electricians to support their popularity. People everywhere like to join in the fun, and they will only do so when they see a lot of people in a restaurant.

go to eat.

In the 1990s, relying on the tourism industry that began to develop here due to investment promotion in the 1990s, there were many tourists, the business here developed rapidly, and the catering industry developed particularly rapidly, and it was possible to create a good education for Liu Mang

environmental opportunities.

By the beginning of the century, the number of tourists received in Xitang every year had exceeded one million, and the business of Xiaoying's restaurant was getting better and better. It was busy every morning and stayed open 365 days a year, including the Chinese New Year. But today, Xiaoying's restaurant

There was originally a small blackboard at the door of the restaurant to write down the breakfast and prices for today, but it said it was closed today.

…

Before going home, Liu Mang worried about many things. He worried about everything imaginable.

But when he saw the familiar figure in his memory appear in his sight, Liu Mang couldn't help but run up and shouted "Dad, Mom" ​​quite naturally.

There is not too much pretense, and there is no scene of tears streaming down the face. Liu Mang's father is really tall, about 1.8 meters tall, and his mother is an ordinary height of about 1.6 meters.

Like Liu Mang, my father is a tall and thin middle-aged man. Except for the tan from working in the sun for a long time, he is clean and tidy. My mother is a standard middle-aged woman, a little fatter than before.

Liu Mang became a little fatter again in his memory.

Dad is a standard Chinese gentleman. He responded without showing too many emotions. Mom was more enthusiastic. When she saw Liu Mang running off the bus, she quickly stepped forward and pulled Liu Mang:

"Oh, be careful, don't fall. You are still so frizzy no matter how old you are. Come and show me. You have grown stronger and your body is stronger. You haven't eaten after flying all day. Let's hurry up.

Go back, your dad closed the shop in the morning and asked for leave from the office to prepare meals for you..."

It was a standard mother's babble, but when she saw two American beauties and a little lolita getting out of the car, she was suddenly shocked.

When two beauties, an older one and a younger one, came up to get to know each other, their parents were even more surprised that they could actually speak Mandarin! Although this Mandarin is as weird as Liu Mang's mother's dialect Mandarin...

…

Last night at seven o'clock in the evening, Liu Mang and his party boarded a flight from Atlanta and flew directly to Shanghai. The difference was only 19 hours. After one night and most of the day, they arrived in Shanghai at around two o'clock in the afternoon. In addition to the things they bought in the airport duty-free area, many things were bought.

After paying the tax and providing proof of property, the group was allowed to pass through customs with such a large amount of stuff.

I got on the chartered bus that I booked in advance and set off from the airport. Two or three hours later I arrived at a small town called Yaozhuang east of Xitang Town.

But when he got here, Liu Mang didn't know how to go. Many cities in the United States had already been almost built, and it would be difficult to see any major changes in ten or twenty years. In China, especially in developed provinces in coastal areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai,

Changes are so rapid. Liu Mang has not been back for four years, and Liu Mang can no longer even find his way to this small town where he used to play when he was a child.

Fortunately, Liu Mang's parents had anticipated this. When they helped Liu Mang book a chartered car, they asked the driver to stop at Yaozhuang. When they came to pick up Liu Mang, Liu Mang would definitely not be able to find the way.

After receiving Liu Mang's greetings and greetings, Liu Mang's parents looked at Liu Mang several times with strange eyes. Then his father drove his Santana to lead the way. His mother and Liu Mang's group got into the car.

The bus was following behind. It was originally here to pick up Liu Mang. Unexpectedly, Liu Mang brought three people with him and so much luggage.

The scene on the bus was very interesting. Dinah, Levia, Alexia and Liu Mang’s mother were chatting happily. Dinah was the best at learning Chinese among the three, and Liu Mang was the best among the four of them.

Completely thrown aside, Liu Mang seemed unable to get in any words, and sat speechlessly looking at the scenery outside the window.

Alexia traveled with Liu Mang in the country as Liu Mang's college classmate, while Levia traveled with her daughter as Liu Mang's landlord during college.

As for Liu Mang's mother, she completely ignored her surprise when she first saw the three of them.

Just like puppy love, generally speaking, the girl's parents are as irritable as a cat whose tail has been stepped on. On the contrary, the boy's parents are a little bit happy. The first reaction is not to beat their son for falling in love early, but to want to beat him up.

You need to know whether your puppy love partner is good-looking or not...

Liu Mang looked at the environment outside the window and could hardly recognize the surrounding environment. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are developing so fast. A few years ago, rural roads that were small roads have now become asphalt roads. Liu Mang's home is not far from the urban area of ​​Xitang Town.

The countryside is far away, about halfway between Yaozhuang and Xitang. Both sides are not far away. In the morning, before dawn, I go to the town to prepare breakfast. Now the transportation is more convenient. Liu Mang’s parents drive to the town for only 20 yuan.

It only takes a few minutes. If you don’t live in a big city in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the difference between living in the countryside and living in the city is getting smaller and smaller...

Everything is simpler than Liu Mang imagined. Liu Mang's parents are smarter or more cautious than he imagined. Although Liu Mang is only a sports star and has never played for the national team, and is not known to as many people in China as Yao Ming,

But Liu Mang's parents did not make any big announcement that their celebrity son was back, and the group just quietly returned to their home in the countryside.

…

…

The night Liu Mang got home, all his relatives who lived nearby came over. Although it is not uncommon for foreign friends to come to China now, they can still be seen every day. I was surprised by the two Americans Liu Mang brought back.

The beauty then received a bunch of gifts, complimented her a lot, and left happily.

Speaking of most domestic sports stars, their exposure rate is much worse than that of entertainment stars. They may respect sports stars more, but many of Liu Mang's relatives don't know what the NBA is where Liu Mang works. They only know that he plays basketball and is a young man.

Fortunately, there are some who want autographs, but the older ones are not that understanding. After all, the growing environment is different. They know more about football, table tennis and other stars, and the domestic athletes' incomes are average these days.

I don’t know as much about overseas things as young people do.

He was busy until midnight before sending away the last family of relatives. Liu Mang collapsed on the sofa and really didn't want to move.

Liu Mang's house was renovated. It was probably because Liu Mang no longer needed tuition fees in the past two years, so he built a two-story small building. With three more people, he didn't have to worry about running out of room.

"Hey, what are you doing lying down? Come and help mom make the bed. Really, in the past few years, apart from asking for money, I didn't know how to make a phone call. When I came back, I only called to say that I was back. I didn't say that I would bring my friends back. What the hell, mom?"

You're not even prepared. Isn't it embarrassing? Come and help... Xiaoya, Xiaosha, and Dinah, please rest for a while. This is what country people are like. You just arrived to disturb you, and you are really, buy it.

What are you doing with so many things? We have them all at home, it’s a waste of money..." My mother said this, but she felt that Beier was too proud and the gifts she gave out were all foreign goods, even though she had earned a lot from opening a breakfast shop these years.

Not a lot, but Liu Mang's school tuition was very high before, and later he spent money on building a house, so he really didn't spend much money on himself. He was very happy when he saw the gifts from Levia and Alexia.

Especially when she saw the pile of gifts, half of which were for herself, including the piles of cosmetics, clothes and various gadgets, Liu Mang's mother was overjoyed. She complained, but when she saw Levia

I am happy with Alexia.

It's just that...it was completely different from the joy he felt when he first met Liu Mang. After only half a day, Liu Mang felt that his mother was beginning to annoy him.

But for Levia, Alexia and little Lolita, my mother complained so mildly, so the treatment was too far behind!

Liu Mang felt cold in his heart, and originally wanted to wait for a while, but when he saw the unkind look his mother gave him, Liu Mang immediately got up and prepared to help.

"Auntie, let Ace take a rest, let's help!" Levia and Alexia felt that they had a chance to show off, and rushed to help.

"Then why are you so embarrassed? Really, take a look at this and learn more..."

Liu Mang watched his mother, who was still scolding him, take the two girls upstairs to clean up the room. He felt that he shouldn't have brought these two girls back! Just bring a little lolita... But it seems that the guardian can't bring them back. It's really

Pity.

Dinah had already gone to bed. She had been flying and taking the bus all day and night, so she had occupied Liu Mang's room.

After the women had all left, Liu Mang finally felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief and sat back on the sofa. Although he felt like he was about to be abandoned and despised by his mother, Liu Mang felt that this feeling was not bad.

There is no special treatment for our dolls just because they have become successful and made a lot of money. It is still the same as before, and it is the same as Liu Mang remembered when he was in high school. Every time he went to the canteen and called his mother, the first thing he said was: No money again?

Now that Liu Mang has money again, he doesn't need to call to ask for money, and his mother's new disgusting method will soon come out.

Liu Mang was sighing, "What a harmonious and friendly family." His father, Liu Lijie, sat next to him.

"Hey, do you want to smoke?" Dad took out a pack of cigarettes and asked.

"No." Liu Mang shook his head.

Dad also made a big splash just now. He entertained relatives with alcohol and cigarettes that he had never had before.

The cigarettes Liu Mang brought back were not bad, including more than a dozen Yellow Crane Tower 1916 and several large boxes of Maotai.

Of course, they were all bought in the Atlanta airport duty-free area, and the price was less than half that of the domestic price.

"That's good. I didn't learn bad things after going abroad." Dad lit the cigarette for himself with satisfaction, and had no intention of giving one to Liu Mang.

Parents are like this, no matter how old their children are, they still treat them like children.

Liu Mang watched as his father stuffed the cigarettes back into his pocket and hid the remaining cigarettes behind the sofa after giving them to relatives and friends. Liu Mang's head was covered with black lines.

This dad is still the same! Exactly the same as Liu Mang remembered.

It seemed that he had heard the screams of his mother on the other side of the stairs. His original serious expression suddenly changed: "What a good boy! He is really promising! Haha, I have brought back my wife after being abroad for several years, or two.

Yes! Give birth to a baby as soon as possible. Dad is not a rigid person. It doesn’t matter if he has had children before, and it doesn’t matter if he has a foreign wife, but his own baby must be given birth to as soon as possible..."

Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, his face changed too quickly!

"Dad, you haven't even written your horoscope yet!" Liu Mang quickly interrupted.

"You are still too young to understand women's hearts. If they are not interested in you, will they follow you home?"

"..."

"Hey, don't believe me. Dad, I've been here before. This is how I deceived your mother. Back then, your mother was a flower in our vocational high school..."

"..."

After listening to his father bragging for a long time, Liu Mang took out a bank card from China Construction Bank. China Construction Bank was one of the few banks at this time that allowed individuals to transfer large amounts of money to domestic accounts without charging fees and waiving exchange fees.

To attract investment.

"Dad, here is some money for you and mom." There are no complicated words of gratitude or anything else, it's very simple and direct.

"No need, your mother and I are not very extravagant people. We can spend enough money by ourselves. Now that we don't have you asking for money all the time, we live a comfortable life." Dad also began to dislike Liu Mang.

"Dad, this is ten million."

"..." The scene was silent for a few seconds.

"Ahem, don't tell your mother, I'll save it for you..."

Just when Dad was about to get the bank card, a hand suddenly took the bank card away.

"Liu Lijie! What do you mean, don't tell your mother? What do you want to do with so much money?"

I don’t know when my mother appeared next to me...

A few minutes later, my mother wrote down the bank card password from Liu Mang, and happily went upstairs holding the pillow she had just taken away.

Liu Mang looked at his father, whose ears were almost pulled off, and felt a little sad... He hoped that his future daughter-in-law would not learn such a strict wife's character from his mother...

"Dad, this is the remaining cash I have. You should put it away before mom finds out." Seeing how pitiful his father was, Liu Mang took out his wallet, which contained several thousand dollars of cash that he had exchanged, and handed it to his father.
Chapter completed!
