Xi Juan scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about! What kind of hotel do you want to stay in? Is it free? No one can live there anymore?"
Fan Aiguo said hummingly: "That's right, we came all the way here, and if we don't live with our son, what's the point of staying in a hotel?"
Xi Juan worked tirelessly: "Did you, you little brat, dislike me and your father for coming out of the countryside and embarrassed you?"
Fan Jianqiang hurriedly shook his head: "Mom, how dare I do that! Aren't I from the countryside too? Besides, what's wrong with rural people? There's no shame in rural people."
Xi Juan said: "I like to hear this. Okay, let me spare you, kid." She affectionately took Zhuang Mina's tender hand and said, "Nana, how long have you been in love with our Xiaoqiang?"
Zhuang Mina was well prepared and said, "We haven't talked for a long time, but we have known each other for a while."
"Tsk, tsk, this little face is as tender as tofu. Everyone loves it. Your smile is as sweet as honey. Nana, where are you from?"
"I am from Hongcheng, Jiangbei."
Xi Juan said in surprise: "Oh, that's right. You are also from Jiangbei, and you are from the provincial capital. How many people are there in your family? What do your parents do?"
The woman's nagging was endless. Fan Jianqiang and his father walked in front to lead the way. The old couple brought home-grown peanuts and bamboo shoots and packed a heavy bag.
When they walked into the parking lot, the old couple were stunned when Fan Jianqiang actually opened the door of a car. Fan Aiguo asked nervously: "Xiaoqiang, is this the car you borrowed?"
"Whatever the company gives me is my own."
The old couple only knew that their son worked in Mohai and earned 5,000 yuan a month. In the countryside, he could earn 5,000 yuan a month, which was quite amazing. They had no idea that earning 5,000 yuan a month was considered a privilege in this place.
A low-income earner. Now I see that my son actually got a car. He is obviously very important, and he is comforted by his kindness.
He took them to Xiaoyang Shengjian to eat fried dumplings, and then, considering that he was very tired from the overnight train journey, Fan Qiangqiang took them back to their rental house.
"They say that every inch of land in Mohai is precious. When I saw this house, I realized how small it is. Xiaoqiang, this house is so clean that it wasn't cleaned up by a lazy guy like you, right?"
Fan Qianqiang smiled and said: "Mina took care of it, is she quite capable?"
"It's normal for a girl to like to be clean. I think this girl is pretty and has a sweet mouth. She can also do housework. She's not bad. I'm relieved now. No wonder you don't want to go back for a blind date. You have such a good girl.
My friend, mom won’t worry about you anymore.”
Xi Juan and his wife visited the room. At this time, Zhuang Mina took out the diamond-platinum ring worth 250,000 yuan. She smiled sweetly and said, "Auntie, this is a small gift for auntie."
Xi Juan was surprised and happy, and quickly declined: "This child, how can you give me a gift? I should give you a meeting gift, patriot, where is my bag? Give it to me."
Zhuang Mina smiled and said: "We juniors should be filial to our elders. This ring is not worth much. Auntie, please try it on and see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, you can have it changed."
When she said that the ring was not worth much, Zhuang Mina's expression was a little strange.
Xi Juan refused and pushed back: "There is no such reason and no such rules. How can I ask for your gift? If others find out about this, I will say that I don't understand etiquette."
Fan Qiangqiang smiled and said: "Mom, just accept it. Meina only cares about her, but it's not a valuable commodity."
Xi Juan just put it away, but without opening it first, she opened the bag handed over by her husband, opened the zipper, took out a red silk and golden dragon bag from the bag, loosened the small rope, and revealed a golden bag.
gold bracelet.
Judging from the weight of this bracelet, it is worth a lot of money. Although the price of gold has been turbulent for a period of time, it is gradually recovering. The style of the bracelet is very old, and the quality is obviously very good.
Fan Qianqiang knew that the conditions at home were not good, and his father's health had never been very good. Farming was impossible. He could only make a living by raising pigs, chickens, ducks, and growing vegetables. Fortunately, Fan Qianqiang had also participated.
They don't have to bear the burden of work. With such family conditions, and to give such a heavy gift when they first met, it can be seen that my mother really likes this girl Zhuang Mina.
Wow, is this going to be self-defeating? What if my mother identifies Zhuang Mina from now on?
"I can't have it, this is too expensive." Zhuang Mina hurriedly waved her hand and glanced at Fan Jianqiang.
Xi Juan grabbed her hand, forced the bracelet into her hand, and said with a smile: "Don't look at him, this is a meeting gift from me, it has nothing to do with him."
Zhuang Mina's face turned red.
Fan Jianqiang shrugged: "Then just accept it!"
Zhuang Mina kept it in her hand awkwardly. At this time, Xi Juan opened the paper bag with a smile and took out the box containing the ring.
"Let me try and see if I can wear this ring."
When the box was opened, Xi Juan was stunned for a moment. She took out the ring and looked at it closely under the light. She said doubtfully: "This is a diamond, and the cut is very good. The purity of the diamond is very high. This... ring is very expensive."
Well, Nana, tell me the truth, how much did you pay for this ring?"
Fan Jianqiang and Zhuang Meina never expected that she was so knowledgeable and could still see the purity of diamonds!
Zhuang Mina hurriedly said: "This diamond is fake. If it is real, how can I afford it? Is it very real?"
Xi Juan said: "The platinum material and the craftsmanship are not top-notch, but they are first-class. Even without this diamond, this ring can be sold for tens of thousands. Such a high-quality ring is actually set with a fake diamond. I
Do you believe it?"
Xi Juan glanced at Zhuang Mina mysteriously: "Your aunt and I are not an ignorant country woman, don't lie to me."
Zhuang Meina looked to Fan Jianqiang for help.
Fan Jianqiang chuckled and said, "Mom, have you done any research on this thing? Don't pretend to understand, okay?"
Xi Juan glared at him displeased: "You little brat, I'll take it to a jewelry store for appraisal later, and I'll know the price of this ring right away."
Fan Jianqiang was completely defeated and said honestly: "This ring is quite expensive, more than 200,000 yuan. We were afraid of scaring you, so we said it wasn't valuable."
Fan Aiguo, who was not good at words, said leisurely: "Your mother is a person who has seen the world. You can't fool her if you try."
Fan Jianqiang looked up and down at the woman who had been his mother for more than 20 years with a strange expression.
"Mom, my grandparents run a gold shop at home, right?"
Xi Juan rolled her eyes at him: "You guessed it right!"
She put the ring back into the box and handed it to Zhuang Mina: "This ring is too expensive, I can't have it."
"Mom, take it. I'm all for it. If you don't take it, Mina won't be your son's girlfriend."
Xi Juan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Well, I'll keep it for now. Maybe it can be used when you two get married in the future. Son, please take me to the room. Your father and I will take a rest and call us later at noon."
, I haven’t digested the fried buns I just had for breakfast.”
Fan Jianqiang responded and led his mother to the room.
Xi Juan entered the room, beckoned Fan Jianqiang to the window, and asked in a mysterious whisper: "How far have you and this girl developed? She is already living with you. Have you taken any measures?"
