Chapter 283 My Son-in-Law

February 14th, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Mother Liu stood in front of the house, glanced at her daughter who came back alone, stretched her head and looked back, but did not see Song Ci.

"Where's my son-in-law?"

Liu Shishi went into the house to change her shoes and replied, "I'm going to the company to visit the employees on duty during the New Year. I'll come back later."

Hearing that Song Ci would only come later, Mother Liu smiled and nodded quickly: “Yes, business is more important.”

Liu Shishi felt a little jealous. Her own mother now kept talking about her son-in-law all the time and she no longer had her precious daughter in her eyes!

When I entered the living room, I saw my father sitting on the sofa, concentrating on playing with a small green porcelain cup, and chuckling from time to time.

"What happened to my dad?"

"He's obsessed with it! He even slept with it in his arms yesterday."

Mother Liu glared at her husband and couldn't help complaining, "My son-in-law is really something. It's a good thing to be filial to your father-in-law, but your father is a rough man. Giving him such a precious porcelain, he doesn't deserve it!"

Liu Shishi stared at the green-glazed cup from the Yongzheng official kiln of the Qing Dynasty in her father's hand, and her face showed an expression of fondness.

This was the New Year gift the husband gave to his father-in-law when the two families had the reunion dinner together yesterday. It is indeed simple and elegant, and exquisitely crafted. No wonder my father loved it so much.

"Old Liu, put this thing away! My daughter is back!"

Father Liu came back to his senses from his intoxication when he heard his wife's loud call.

His eyes first fell on his precious daughter, then he glanced around the living room and asked in confusion, "Where is my son-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking that her parents were really the same, always thinking about their son-in-law!

"I didn't come! Song Yiyi and I had a fight!"

"What's going on? Tell me quickly!" Father Liu's hands trembled and he almost dropped the priceless porcelain.

"Shishi, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but now that you're married, you can't be as willful as you were at home. You have to control your temper."

When Miss Liu heard this, she puffed up her cheeks and muttered angrily, "Comrade Liu, what's wrong with you? You don't even know why I quarreled with Yi Yi, so how can you assume that it's my problem?"

In response to his daughter's question, Liu's father said as if it was a matter of course: "I know my son-in-law's character. He is a sensible and good boy. If there is a quarrel, it is basically your fault."

On the side, Liu's mother also nodded and agreed: "My son-in-law has a gentle personality. If you quarrel, it is most likely your fault. So, did you really quarrel?"

Seeing that her mother also misunderstood, Liu Shishi quickly waved her hands and said, "No, I was just joking with Dad. From childhood to adulthood, when have I ever quarreled with Yi Yi?"

Father Liu glared at Miss Liu and said, "You unlucky child, you are deceiving your father with this matter on New Year's Day!"

"It's good that we didn't quarrel! But since we are talking about this, I would like to remind you not to get angry with my son-in-law. As a wife, you should be gentle and virtuous."

Mother Liu reminded us earnestly that as parents, we always worry about our children.

In the past, I was concerned about my daughter’s marriage, but now that they have obtained their marriage certificate, I have started to worry about whether the young couple can live in harmony for a long time.

"Don't worry, we're fine!" During the Spring Festival, Liu Shishi didn't want to listen to her parents' nagging, so she quickly changed the subject: "Was there any interesting program at the Spring Festival Gala last night?"

Last night, she was busy chatting and interacting with fans, and then she was affectionate with her husband. She didn't watch any Spring Festival Gala programs throughout the New Year's Eve.

After saying that, he picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, wanting to watch the rebroadcast of the party.

Father Liu carefully put the treasure in his hand into the brocade box and said, "Apart from Uncle Benshan's skit, only Wang Fei's singing is worth watching. The Spring Festival Gala is really getting worse every year."

Mother Liu brought the washed fruit bowl to the coffee table and said, "Don't worry about whether the show is exciting or not. It's a habit for us northerners to watch the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve."

Liu Shishi picked a cherry and took a bite. The cherry was juicy and she said as she chewed, "Yiyi told me last night that her roommate Jia Lin was on the Spring Festival Gala."

Father Liu thought the name sounded familiar. After thinking about it, he suddenly said, "Jia Lin, I have some impression of her! She was the fat girl who performed in skits. She had a talent for comedy and performed well in the show."

"Hey, Jia Lin was originally a minor supporting role in my crew of "Hello, Old Times". When Yiyi brought her to see me, she called me senior sister Shi. I didn't expect that she would be on the Spring Festival Gala in the blink of an eye." Liu Shishi recalled the past and felt a little unbelievable.

"It means that others have made progress. You are still standing still."

Seeing her mother looking down on her, Miss Liu was not happy and argued unconvincedly: "I have also made progress! I have more than 10 million fans on Weibo!"

Mother Liu suddenly wanted to tease her daughter: "She was a minor supporting actress in your crew back then, and now she's on the Spring Festival Gala. If you have the guts, why don't you also be on the Spring Festival Gala and show me?"

"We have different development paths. Jia Lin is a comedian, so it's easy for her to appear on the Spring Festival Gala, but I am taking the path of a talented idol."

Seeing her daughter's serious nonsense, Liu's mother chuckled: "You are a talented person? After all this talk, you just can't be on the Spring Festival Gala."

Liu Shishi immediately retorted: "Who said I can't do it? Jia Lin can do it, so can I."

"Oh!" Seeing his daughter's confident look, Liu's father also asked with great interest: "Daughter, can you really be on the Spring Festival Gala?"

"able!"

Seeing her daughter's firm reply, Mother Liu couldn't help but believe it a little. After all, her daughter is indeed very famous now.

But she suddenly remembered something and reminded him, "Shishi, if you can get on the Spring Festival Gala with your real ability, your father and I will be proud of you. Don't ask your man to use his connections to get in through the back door."

"Dad, Mom, you underestimate me! There's no need to be involved in this kind of thing."

Father Liu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, your mother and I are waiting to see your performance on the Spring Festival Gala. It doesn't matter if it's a few years later, as long as you can be on it."

Although she boasted a lot, Liu Shishi was not sure. She knew the status of the Spring Festival Gala in the eyes of the older generation. Even though she had tens of millions of fans on Weibo, in the eyes of her parents, it was not as good as ten minutes on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

But now that things have come to this, I can only take it one step at a time. Maybe I can be on the show once I become more famous.

Suddenly the doorbell rang. Mother Liu, who was sitting on the sofa, quickly stood up with a smile on her face: "It must be my son-in-law. I'll go open the door."

When Liu's mother opened the door, the person who came was, as expected, her son-in-law Song Ci, followed by several bodyguards, all of whom were carrying large and small bags.

Mother Liu took Song Ci's arm, warmly and kindly, just like treating her own son: "Yuan Dan, it's cold outside, come in! You guys come in and have a cup of tea too."

"Mom!" Song Ci greeted his mother-in-law with a smile, then went into the house and told the bodyguards, "Just put the things at the door."

Several people put the gifts in their hands neatly in front of the door as instructed. Team leader Tang Yue respectfully asked: "Boss, do you have any other instructions?"

"Thank you for your hard work. I have been staying at home these days. You should also go home for the New Year."

"Then boss, we'll go back first. If you need anything, just call me anytime. I'm on call 24 hours a day."

The leading Tang Yue bowed slightly, then turned and left with the other four bodyguards.

After going downstairs, the cold winter wind blew in their faces and several people shrank their necks.

One of them recalled what he had just seen and couldn't help but complain: "The boss's mother-in-law is so nice, she cares about me and asks me about my well-being. My mother-in-law just doesn't like me anyway."

"Come on, any mother-in-law in the world who has a son-in-law like the boss will have to coax and provide for him."

"Ajie, logically speaking, we work for the boss and earn a lot of money. Is it true that your mother-in-law doesn't like you?"

Tang Yue was also puzzled: "Yesterday, my wife gave us a New Year's red envelope of 50,000 yuan, which is equivalent to a worker's annual salary.

Normally, everyone follows the boss and does not have to spend their own money on food and drinks, so whatever salary they get is all net loss.

You can make at least 200,000 yuan a year, which is not less than some middle-level managers in the group. "Ajie, what kind of family does your wife have? How dare your mother-in-law take you lightly?"

"Captain, my home..."

Seeing that the little brother had a bitter face and was stammering and unable to speak, Tang Yue stopped asking questions. Every family has its own problems.

He patted his brother on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "We can't interfere with your family affairs. Just don't let it interfere with your work."

Ajie didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

On the other hand, another young man asked excitedly, "Brothers, I'm going to my girlfriend's house in two days. What do you think I should bring for the New Year?"

Tang Yue was pleasantly surprised and said, "Ah Wei, you are in love without telling anyone. Tell us quickly, who is the girl and how did you meet her?"

Ah Wei scratched his head embarrassedly: "Brother Yue, actually everyone knows my girlfriend, it's Yuanyuan."

Ajie teased, "You are really good, you managed to win the wife's assistant without making any noise. Assistant Jiang is a wealthy woman in the capital, you won't have to worry about anything in the future."

Ah Wei chuckled, looking very proud.

Tang Yue frowned when he heard Jiang Yuanyuan's name: "Ah Wei, how long have you been talking to Assistant Jiang?"

"About three months." Seeing that the boss's expression was not right, Awei felt a little uneasy.

"I will report this to my boss after the New Year. If he has any objections, I can only transfer you to the group's security department."

"Brother Yue, why!" Ah Wei was shocked. He was now the boss's personal bodyguard, and his income and benefits were much better than those of the security department. If he was transferred, his bright future would be ruined.

Tang Yue's face was serious: "Jiang Yuanyuan is my wife's assistant, she is also one of us, do you understand the principle of relative avoidance?

It would be fine if the boss doesn't mind, but if the boss is unhappy about this, either you are transferred or Jiang Yuanyuan resigns."

After the captain's suggestion, Ah Wei was like a deflated ball, very frustrated: "I understand, Brother Yue. I will report to the boss myself after the new year."

Tang Yue sternly glanced at the four team members: "I solemnly warn you, when you are with the boss, you must remember the rules that should be followed. Don't act like you are an important person just because you are dressed in a suit and tie."

"Got it, Captain." The four of them were startled and quickly responded honestly.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Song Ci had dinner at his parents-in-law's house and sat on the sofa with his father-in-law to watch the news. The two were chatting about the Kids King Company.

Today, Liu's Haohaiwang maternal and infant products company is thriving. It has opened offline stores in the capital cities of various northern provinces. The brand influence continues to expand, and it is about to enter major cities in the south this year.

Song Ci listened to his father-in-law's detailed account of the company and thought carefully: "Dad, based on Kidsland's current operating conditions, we can start a new round of financing.

Moreover, it is better for the financing party to find real estate companies such as Longfor and Wanda, and cooperate with them, which will make it easier to open stores. "

Father Liu nodded slightly, his son-in-law's idea coincided with his: "That's what I was thinking!

It was just the right time to use the financing money to open stores in major southeast coastal cities such as Donghai, Jinling, and Hangzhou.

The consumption levels in these cities are no worse than those in Beijing and Tianjin, and the market potential is huge.”

"If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know, Dad. You're welcome."

Here, the father-in-law and son-in-law were busy discussing business matters. In the kitchen, Mother Liu was cleaning up the dishes, and Shishi Liu was clumsily helping her.

"Okay, okay, just stand aside and don't get in the way. You can't even do any housework. You're so stupid!"

Seeing that Mama Liu looked disgusted, Shishi Liu stood aside obediently, stuck out her tongue, made a face at her mother, and said coquettishly: "I have servants in Jingyuan, so I don't have to do the laundry and cooking myself."

"Yes, yes, you are lucky, little girl. You were born to enjoy happiness. Okay."

Liu Shishi raised her little head, put her hands on her waist, and said proudly: "Of course, who wouldn't be jealous of my good fortune if they know me?"

Mother Liu glanced at the smug Miss Liu and sighed in her heart that her daughter was indeed lucky.

While putting the washed dishes into the cupboard, he asked, "Are you guys going back to Jingyuan soon?"

"No, Sister Li and the others have gone back for the New Year holiday, and Jingyuan is alone. My father-in-law is on night shift at the hospital today, and my mother-in-law went to my grandfather's place, so there's no one at the house across the street.

So Yiyi and I will stay here tonight and go to visit grandpa and grandma tomorrow. We can just go to his house and get a set of clothes to change into. "

"It's good to live here. During the day, I saw Yuandan let his bodyguards and driver have a day off. At night, he drove back by himself. I was not too sure."

Liu Shishi stepped forward, hugged her mother's slender waist, and asked with a smile: "Mom, why are you following the same path as my parents-in-law and calling my husband by his nickname?"

Mother Liu teased, "Can't I, as his mother-in-law, call him by his nickname? Since you don't want to call him Yuandan, then I'll call him Song Yiyi like you do?"

"No way!" Liu Shishi pouted and flatly refused, with a hint of arrogance in her tone: "Yi Yi is my exclusive name, no one else can call him that!"

Mother Liu couldn't help but smile, thinking that her daughter was quite protective of her food and was indeed very affectionate towards her son-in-law.

"Okay, okay, I won't fight with you. You two can call each other whatever you like.

Since you can't help, just go to the living room and watch TV. During the day, you kept saying that your friend Hu Ge's new drama was going to be aired today, and it was probably about to start. "

When her mother reminded her, Liu Shishi immediately remembered, "Oh, yes, I promised Lao Hu to help him promote "Myth". I'm going to post on Weibo. Dear mother, thank you for your hard work."
