Wang Yiding was very nervous at this time. This was the first time he met his girlfriend's family, and it was also the first time he experienced such an occasion.
He was not a person who was good at expressing himself, but Wang Gang made him at a loss with just one sentence.
Fortunately, Qiao Sanli was protecting him.
"Second brother, don't scare him." Qiao Sanli pulled Wang Yiding to sit down and handed the apple to Wang Gang.
"Yiding also bought you fruit, why are you scaring him?"
Wang Gang and Qiao Yicheng looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh that girls are really outgoing, and they are like this even before they get married.
As Qiao Sanli's second sister-in-law and the mistress of the new house, Xiang Nanfang could only stand up and say: "Yiding, is your second brother kidding you? Just treat this as your own home."
Wang Yiding sat uneasily, not daring to breathe.
"Everyone is here, let's have dinner!" Wang Gang lost interest in teasing and said to Xiang Nanfang.
Xiang Nanfang invited everyone to the restaurant, and Qiao Zuwang also sat down.
Although he was eating at home, Xiang Nanfang still invited his family's nanny to cook a table of dishes.
Wang Yiding's family background was average, so when he saw the table full of delicacies, he was completely dumbfounded.
In fact, he had just stood in front of the house and waited for a long time, not daring to come in rashly.
Wang Yiding originally thought that Qiao Sanli's family conditions were similar to his own, and the Qiao family lived in Shamao Lane, which was not a good place.
But when he came to Wang Gang's house today, Wang Yiding realized that Qiao Sanli's conditions were much better than him, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a high achiever.
"Wang Yiding, please be casual and don't be so formal. We are all family members here today." Xiang Nanfang took the initiative to give Wang Yiding a piece of chicken with chopsticks.
"Thank you, second sister-in-law." Wang Yiding held the rice bowl but did not dare to eat it, which was a bit funny.
Qiao Zuwang looked at Wang Yiding's bearish appearance, and his first impression was not very good.
"Your name is Wang Yiding, right?" Qiao Zuwang took out a bottle of wine and asked, "Do you drink?"
"Uncle, I, I don't know how to drink." Wang Yiding was speechless when facing his future father-in-law.
Wang Gang said to Qiao Simei: "Simei, I bought some soda and put it in the living room. You can bring it over and drink it together."
Qiao Simei jumped up happily and pulled Qiao Qiqi to the living room.
"You are a grown man, how can you do well if you don't know how to drink? How can you build a good relationship with your colleagues in the workplace in the future?" Qiao Zuwang took a wine glass and poured a glass for Wang Yiding.
The meaning is obvious. If you don't drink today, you won't give me face.
"Uncle, I really don't know how." Wang Yiding was so anxious that he broke into sweat.
"Dad, he doesn't know how to drink." Qiao Sanli pushed the glass back directly.
Qiao Zuwang secretly scolded his daughter for being ignorant. He made Wang Yiding drink alcohol because he wanted to test him. His father-in-law didn't know how to test his son-in-law.
"Today is your second brother's housewarming celebration, so I wanted to have a drink." Qiao Zuwang looked at Wang Yiding and said.
Wang Yiding felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, feeling like the stool was scratching his buttocks.
Wang Gang reached out to take the wine glass and placed it in front of himself.
"If you want to drink, I'll drink with you."
Qiao Zuwang was startled, but in the end he didn't dare to argue with his second son.
"Here comes the soda." Qiao Simei and Qiao Qiqi came over holding several bottles of soda and distributed them to everyone one by one.
"Yiding, you can drink soda!" Qiao Yicheng took the initiative to give Wang Yiding a soda.
Wang Yiding saw Qiao Yicheng and Wang Gang helping him out, and his nervousness suddenly eased a lot.
Next, everyone was eating and chatting. Wang Yiding's test was not over yet.
"Xiao Wang, I heard that you work in a textile factory?" Qiao Zuwang took a sip of wine and began to "interrogate" his future son-in-law.
"Yes, I majored in mechanical maintenance in technical secondary school, and was later assigned to work in the mechanical department of the textile factory." Wang Yiding said honestly.
"So you are a technical secondary school student, and we at Sanli are college students." Qiao Zuwang frowned and drank all the wine in the glass.
"Dad, Yiding is studying in night school and will get a college diploma in the future." Qiao Sanli felt that Qiao Zuwang looked down on Wang Yiding, so she immediately defended him.
Qiao Zuwang snorted coldly: "You are an undergraduate and you have received a scholarship. In the future, you can take the postgraduate entrance examination like your eldest and second brothers."
Big beads of sweat were streaming down Wang Yiding's forehead.
"Academic qualifications don't mean everything. If you are motivated, you will stand out in the future." Qiao Sanli said stubbornly.
When Qiao Zuwang was unconvinced and wanted to say something else, Wang Gang stretched out his wine glass.
"drink wine."
Qiao Zuwang instinctively picked up the wine glass, holding it with both hands as if he was paying respect to a leader.
Even Qiao Zuwang himself didn't realize that he had long been unable to regard Wang Gang as his son.
Qiao Yicheng gave Wang Yiding a chicken drumstick and said, "Yiding, you're welcome, hurry up and eat."
Wang Yiding held the rice bowl and took a bite of the vegetables mechanically.
Qiao Yicheng said at this time: "Yiding! What are you going to do after you get your college diploma? Are you going to continue working in the textile factory?"
Wang Yiding was excited and said: "I plan to open a repair shop by myself. I feel that people's living conditions are getting better and better now, and there are more cars on the road. Opening a repair shop will do a good business."
Qiao Yicheng's eyes lit up and he said, "You studied auto repair in night school? This is a technical job!"
Wang Yiding nodded and said: "I am interested in auto repair. Sanli wrote a letter to encourage me, so I made up my mind to apply for night school to study auto repair."
"The auto repair industry does have great prospects, but the work is also very hard," Wang Gang said.
"I'm not afraid of hardship." Wang Yiding said: "No matter how hard the days were when you were a child, won't they be over?"
Wang Gang nodded secretly and said with a smile: "It costs money to open a repair shop. With your current salary and going to night school, you won't have much left every month!"
Wang Yiding was embarrassed and remained silent.
Qiao Sanli said: "Yiding can save a little money every month and leave it with his mother. After a few years, the savings should be almost the same."
Wang Yiding said: "I have already thought about it. I will open a smaller shop first, start by repairing bicycles and motorcycles, and then save a few years to open an auto repair shop."
Qiao Zuwang sneered: "According to what you said, there is no money to get married in the short term. How many years do you want my daughter to wait for you?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qiao Sanli said displeased: "Dad, I have to concentrate on practicing dance. I haven't been able to get married in the past few years. I just waited until Yiding has a financial foundation.
, let’s talk about marriage again.”
Wang Gang saw that Qiao Sanli and Wang Yiding already had ideas and even plans for their future.
"You don't want to be an official, but choose an ordinary worker. That's a fool's errand." Qiao Zuwang shouted angrily.
"Dad, in this era, people are free to love. I am free to choose who I like." Qiao Sanli was also a little angry.
Today, Qiao Zuwang targets Wang Yiding in everything and says such things. What should Wang Yiding think?
Qiao Zuwang stood up angrily and said: "You are a college student, you have looks, body, and education. What is so good about this worker that you are obsessed with right and wrong."
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Wang Gang tapped Qiao Zuwang on the back.
"You drank too much, go and rest on the sofa for a while."
"I've only had a few drinks, so much more." Qiao Zuwang shouted.
The next moment, Qiao Zuwang's stomach growled, and the familiar feeling from many years ago came back again.
"Come again!" Qiao Zuwang covered his stomach and ran straight to the toilet.
As soon as Qiao Zuwang left, Qiao Sanli also calmed down.
"Wang Yiding, don't blame the old man for speaking harshly." Wang Gang said to Wang Yiding: "Your conditions are indeed worse. Sanli will suffer hardship if she follows you in the future."
"Second brother, why are you like this?" Qiao Sanli blamed.
Xiang Nanfang came out to smooth things over and said, "Sanli, don't blame your second brother for being outspoken. He also feels sorry for your sister."
Wang Yiding stood up excitedly and said: "Second brother, don't worry, I will never let Sanli suffer. I will give the best to Sanli and do my best to give Sanli happiness."
Qiao Yicheng said: "The conditions of our Qiao family are actually not as good as you think. We can't provide much help to Sanli and you."
"Brother, I like Sanli, not because of her conditions, but because of her as a person." Wang Yiding said firmly.
Wang Gang said: "Anyone can say empty words, but the most important thing is actions."
Wang Yiding said seriously: "For Sanli, I will do anything."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Let's see! Sanli still has three years to graduate. If you can get a college degree within three years and save enough money to open a repair shop, I will agree to let you be together and personally buy a dowry for Sanli."
"
Qiao Sanli said anxiously: "Second brother."
Wang Gang raised his hand to stop Qiao Sanli from speaking.
"He must show his ability to take care of you before the old man will agree to this marriage." Wang Gang sighed:
"I haven't said that you can't communicate in the past few years. You can continue to communicate through letters."
"Okay, second brother." Wang Yiding said firmly, "I will definitely prove myself."
Wang Gang thought to himself that if Wang Yiding could really work hard for Qiao Sanli, he wouldn't mind funding him to open an auto repair shop.
