It turns out that Tong Jia's parents were laid-off workers from a commercial company, and the family has always been in difficulty. They still live in an old house of more than 50 square meters with two bedrooms and one living room built by the commercial company in the last century. Tong Jia went to high school and college.
, all relying on her father to drive long-distance buses from Wushui to the provincial capital, earning more than 2,000 yuan a month for her to complete her studies. Now, her father has reached fifty years old and can no longer bear the burden of driving long-distance buses, so he wants to
Find an easier job. Although Tong Jia repeatedly advised him not to drive, and she would support them. However, her father knew that her salary was not high, only about 3,000 yuan a month, so he had to pay
A family of three can only make ends meet, and they will not even be able to afford Tong Jia's dowry. Therefore, her father has been thinking about finding a new job to reduce the burden on his daughter. At the same time, they hope
My daughter can find a boyfriend who has a good family background, preferably a house and a car. In that case, my daughter will save a lot of stress and worries in life.
Therefore, they fell in love with Kuang Yong at a glance: he is a cadre of the Finance Bureau, and now he is the deputy chief of the budget unit. He is a department with the most lucrative opportunities. He not only has a bright future, but also has a lot of "money prospects";
The family has three houses alone, and Kuang Yong told them many times that as long as he gets engaged to Tong Jia, his mother’s old house with three bedrooms and one living room in the traffic police team can be used by Tong Jia and her parents to live in in the future.
After marrying Tong Jia, he bought another new house. The implication was that this house was given to Tong Jia's parents for their retirement.
What tempted Tong Jia's father the most was that Kuang Yong had a good relationship with the leaders of the Finance Bureau. He promised Tong Jia's father that as long as Tong Jia was willing to marry him, he would find a way to arrange for him to drive in the Finance Bureau. Although this was
He was a temporary worker, but the work was easy, the salary was relatively high, and he worked for a long time, so he was even more satisfied with Kuang Yong. During this period, he kept pressuring Tong Jia: either agree to Kuang Yong and get married within three months.
; Either bring them a boyfriend who is stronger than Kuang Yong. Otherwise, they will go back to their hometown in the countryside and never see Tong Jia again...
After listening to Tong Jia's narration, Li Ying said apologetically: "Jia Jia, I'm so sorry for delaying you. I will go with you to visit your parents tomorrow. However, if you meet a better boy, I will
I suggest you get in touch. I sincerely hope you can be happy, and I also hope your parents will be happy, and don’t worry about your personal problems day and night."
Tong Jia raised her head, looked at him steadily, and suddenly asked: "Xiaotian, tell the truth: Have you ever liked me?"
Li Ying nodded and said: "Of course. I have told you before: I did have the idea of marrying you in the beginning. However, there are still many unresolved emotional entanglements between me, Su Xiaodan and Lin Xue.
So I can’t make you any promises, I can only say sorry to you again.”
Tong Jia's tears flowed down involuntarily again. She buried her head in Li Ying's chest and said softly: "Xiaotian, your words are enough for me! I can no longer tolerate any other man in my heart. I know you
There must be a burden in my heart, and I am afraid of delaying me. However, I really don’t want to find anyone else. I just want you to hold my hand, hug me and kiss me. I don’t want to touch other men.
Not to mention marrying them...can you understand how I feel?"
Li Ying nodded and felt that his eyes were starting to get moist...
In the morning of the next day, Li Ying took some time to withdraw all the transfer fees from his bankbook and the wages and bonuses from working in Wangnizayu Kingdom, a total of more than 800,000 yuan, and bought it at "Fujin Home"
Two houses with three bedrooms and two living rooms were paid in one lump sum to get the keys. He did not touch the one million yuan on Lin Xue's card.
When he got off work in the afternoon, he went to the supermarket and bought a few large bags of gifts, then called Tong Jia, and the two of them walked into Tong Jia's home.
Tong Jia's parents had heard that Tong Jia would bring her boyfriend to the house for dinner today. Although they were very unhappy, in order to give their daughter face, they still cooked a sumptuous meal and waited at home.
When Li Ying walked into the house, Tong Jia's parents looked up and saw the boy following their daughter, who was tall and handsome. He looked like he was only twenty-one or twelve years old. Their hearts sank:
Could it be that my daughter, like those tacky girls, fell in love with this big boy's handsome appearance and was confused by him?
In their opinion, most of the handsome boys like Li Ying are just some good-looking but dirty red-painted toilets, or they are gangsters on the street, and they are not promising men anyway. The reason why they
They have such a stereotype because they have seen the daughters of several friends. They were in good condition and could have married an excellent man, but they were deceived by some boys who were handsome but had no ability or foundation. They ignored the other party's
Regardless of their status and family opposition, they stubbornly insist on marrying each other. As a result, after marriage, the man not only idles around and does not do his job, asking his wife to support him, but also takes advantage of his appearance to flirt with women outside. The final outcome is either
Divorce, or swallowing and suffering...
Therefore, when his parents saw Li Ying's particularly handsome appearance for the first time, they had worried looks on their faces. Especially when they saw that Li Ying seemed to be five or six years younger than their daughter,
This worry is even more intense: This boy is most likely the kind of slut on the street who specializes in seducing good girls with his appearance. Otherwise, with his appearance, why would he find a girl so much older than him?
?Even if he is not a slut, he may not have a good family background, or he may not have a good job, so he wants to find a girl with better conditions than himself...
In fact, Li Ying was just over one year younger than Tong Jia. However, because he practiced Wuji Xiaoyao Gong, he looked only about twenty years old. Moreover, they had seen Li Ying when Tong Jia committed suicide. However, because at that time,
They were only worried that their daughter was gone, and had no intention of looking at Li Ying carefully when they expressed their gratitude to him. In addition, five or six years had passed, so they had no impression of Li Ying at all.
When Tong Jia saw that her parents were just looking at Li Ying up and down with serious faces, and did not even respond to Li Ying calling them "uncle and aunt" affectionately, she felt angry and anxious. She turned around and took Li Ying's hand and walked into the house.
He sat down and said with a straight face: "Dad, Mom, didn't you say that as long as I bring my boyfriend home and he is better than Kuang Yong, you will stop saying anything about me? Now I have brought my boyfriend here.
And he is a hundred times stronger than Kuang Yong, why do you still look like this?"
After all, Tong Jia's father was a man. He had been running around outside for many years. He was relatively sensible and knew that the attitude of his couple just now was indeed a bit wrong. He smiled and nodded to Li Ying and asked casually:
"Young man, where will you make your fortune this year?"
He deliberately used the word "Gui Geng" just to test whether Li Ying was an uneducated person. If he had no education and was just an idle gangster on the street, he probably wouldn't understand the word "Gui Geng".
word.
Li Ying smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Tong, I am twenty-six years old and I am a member of the county party committee."
Tong Jia's father was surprised: firstly, he was surprised by the age he reported, and secondly, he did not expect that he would be in the county party committee office. So, he asked again: "What kind of work is he responsible for in the county party committee office now? He is the secretary.
Or an executive?”
In his opinion, at Li Ying's age, he shouldn't have been working for a long time, so at most he is just a section member or clerk. He had worked in a commercial company for many years, and he still had a certain understanding of the administrative level.
Tong Jia was afraid that Li Ying would be embarrassed to report his official position, so he rushed to say: "Dad, he is now the deputy director of the county party committee office and the director of the investment promotion bureau. He was just promoted yesterday."
"What?"
Tong Jia's father and mother were so surprised that their mouths opened wide. You looked at me and I looked at you, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Seeing her parents so surprised, Tong Jia felt funny in her heart, so she held Li Ying's arm tightly and said with happiness on her face: "Dad, Mom, if you don't believe it, you can go to the county committee office and see the sticker posted outside.
Announcement. His name is Li Ying. He is a demobilized cadre from the deputy battalion position in the army. He worked in the county party committee office for eight months. Due to his outstanding ability and special contribution to attracting investment, he was promoted exceptionally."
Tong Jia's father reacted first, rushed over, held Li Ying's hand tightly, and said a little excitedly: "Director Li, I'm sorry, Jia Jia's mother and I were a little rude and neglectful just now.
Forgive me!"
Tong Jia's mother's face immediately turned from gloomy to clear, and she said enthusiastically to Li Ying: "Come on, come on, Director Li, come and sit at the table first, get ready to eat. Jiajia, does Director Li drink?"
Tong Jia smiled and said, "Mom, you have to tell me first: Is Li Ying better than Kuang Yong? Otherwise, I won't dare to let him serve, for fear that you and dad will look down on us."
Her mother smiled and rolled her eyes at her, and said angrily: "Jiajia, are you still rubbing your nose and face? Come and sit down quickly, don't let Director Li stand all the time."
During the meal, Li Ying chatted with Tong Jia's father and learned that he had been driving before and was now looking for a job everywhere. He suddenly remembered that the minibuses run by the county committee did not have dedicated drivers to drive them. Song Nianyao had discussed this with himself.
I wanted to hire a temporary worker from outside, so I said to him: "Uncle Tong, our county party committee is currently short of a minibus driver, and we are going to hire a skilled driver from outside. This job is relatively easy, and the salary is comparable."
It is issued according to the enterprise establishment standard. Do you want to apply for it?"
Tong Jia's father's eyes lit up and he said eagerly: "Of course I want to go. It would be such an honor to be able to drive to the county party committee office and serve the county leaders! Director Li, can you take charge of this matter?"
