Chapter 30

When Liang Qiurun heard what his mother said, his face suddenly darkened.

What the hell is he talking about?

She will be nice to Xiao Jiang.

What about him?

Could it be that he is not nice to Xiao Jiang?

The Jiang family was a bit surprised. Wang Limei was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses. "My dear in-laws, isn't this betrothal gift too much?"

One thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight.

She couldn't even dream of so much money.

You know, she spent 58 yuan to marry her daughter-in-law, which was the highest amount spent by any family in their alley.

It's time to marry off your daughter.

Wang Limei had a little selfish thought and gave her eldest daughter and youngest daughter a dowry of 100 yuan each, which she could not tell anyone.

If she could tell anyone about it, Wang Limei would definitely say that she was a celebrity in the surrounding area.

Because there were so many families living up and down Qudeng Hutong, no one was as willing to marry off their daughter as she was.

However, compared with her in-laws, she is nothing.

Not to mention the items, the 1,888 yuan betrothal gift alone is enough for their entire family to live on for three years without any food or drink.

It's something that we wouldn't even dare to imagine on a normal day.

When Liang's mother heard Wang Limei talking to her, she didn't know how to start. She rehearsed it in her mind for a while before she spoke cautiously, "Not much?"

After she finished speaking, she regretted it. Was she too cold?

She didn't speak well enough, and she didn't know whether her in-laws would think she was a bad person and be unwilling to marry their daughter to her.

Thinking of this, Liang's mother suddenly shuddered. She no longer cared about being afraid and started to make up for it like pouring beans. "Not much, not much, in-laws, just think about how difficult it is for you to raise a child."

"I still think this 1,800 is too little. If I become rich in the future, I will give Xiao Jiang some subsidies."

When Wang Limei heard this, she was secretly amazed. Liang's mother looked cold, but her personality was quite generous?

It's totally unexpected.

Seeing Wang Limei didn't say anything.

Liang's mother was worried. Did she say too little?

Or does the other party not like it?

Just when Liang's mother was thinking about it.

Wang Limei said with some embarrassment, "This betrothal gift is too much. Our family can't afford such a large dowry."

When Liang's mother heard that it was because of this reason, she immediately waved her hands and made them into rattles.

"No, no, your family is already doing well by marrying Xiao Jiang here."

Besides, look at her son's character.

Do you have the nerve to ask for a dowry?

She felt that Xiao Jiang was being unfairly treated by marrying her son.

Wang Limei was relieved. "So, let's arrange it this way? Our family will do our best to provide the dowry."

Meishu's conditions are good if she marries into the Liang family. If the dowry is too little, she is afraid that her daughter will be looked down upon after marrying into the family.

Liang's mother didn't know how to respond.

She went to see Shen Mingying, who immediately understood her mother-in-law and said, "This is not mandatory. You can do it according to your own situation."

"Do you have any other needs?"

"For example, a marriage proposal, an engagement, or a wedding, what are the arrangements for the banquet?"

That’s not true.

Wang Limei shook her head subconsciously, and halfway through she looked at Jiang Meishu.

Jiang Meishu was eating braised tripe, which was so delicious. Seeing her mother looking at her, she put down her chopsticks and said softly, "Keep it simple."

She didn't have any special requests.

The little girl was fair and clean. When she ate, her mouth was puffy and she spoke softly. Even her requests were so simple.

The more Liang's mother looked at it, the more she liked it.

The more he liked Jiang Meishu, the angrier he became about his son's behavior.

Therefore, Liang's mother glared at Liang Qiurun hatefully.

Liang Qiurun, "?"

"Mom, do you have any other questions?"

Liang's mother disliked this boring son very much.

She didn't even bother to look at it. She turned around, picked up a piece of braised pork belly with chopsticks, and put it into Jiang Meishu's bowl. "Eat."

Jiang Meishu nodded shyly and buried her head in her food.

This was the best meal she had had since she put it on.

No doubt about it.

A combination of meat and vegetables, and all the flavors are amazing.

She ate it with relish.

Liang's mother became even more affectionate. She went to see Shen Mingying and said, "Set a date."

Silent reminder.

Shen Mingying was surprised at this. "Since both parties are satisfied, let's set a date to propose marriage."

this--

Wang Limei really didn't understand. She pondered for a moment and asked, "What exactly is it?"

Actually, there are not so many rules in their family.

When the eldest son got married, he went to the house to pay the bride price and then brought his daughter-in-law in.

Then the eldest daughter got married, and neither her parents' family nor her husband's family had made any preparations.

We went on a blind date in the morning and got our marriage certificate in the afternoon.

The two of them started living together.

The Liang family doesn't have so many rules at all. Wang Limei feels that it's a bit like the royal and aristocratic families a few decades ago, which would have so many rules.

Shen Mingying: "Nowadays, we value new people, new things, and a new society. We don't follow traditions."

"But we still have to get what we need, otherwise Xiao Jiang will be too wronged."

"Let's go through the three steps of proposing, getting engaged, and getting married. What do you think?"

Wang Limei had never been valued so much before.

She was also happy in her heart, because the Liang family valued her daughter.

So, Wang Limei readily agreed, "Okay."

"As for the date for proposing marriage," Shen Mingying thought for a moment. "I'll go back and look for an auspicious date based on the old almanac. I'll then have Director Jiang come to your house to discuss it. If there's no problem, we'll come directly to your house."

"We'll do the proposal, engagement, and gift-giving together."

Wang Limei naturally agreed.

She went to see her daughter Jiang Meishu, who seemed completely calm and focused on eating the whole time.

Realize that everyone is looking at you.

Jiang Meishu bit into the braised fish chunks, feeling like she was in a dilemma whether to throw it away or not. After thinking for a moment, she invited him, "Let's eat together?"

Everyone, “…”

I don't know who burst out laughing first.

When Liang's mother looked at her gluttonous daughter-in-law, she felt that her personality was exactly the same as hers when she was young.

I turned a deaf ear to the world outside and focused on eating.

Even Liang Rui couldn't help but look over. He didn't understand why getting married was such a big deal.

Why is "Jiang Meilan" only thinking about food?

Liang Qiurun's gaze lingered on Jiang Meishu's face for a moment. Seeing her squirrel-like expression, a rare smile appeared on his face. "Since we've agreed, then it's settled."

"Everyone, just eat your meal first."

Because they were discussing the marriage, Jiang Meishu probably didn't eat well.

As soon as Liang Qiurun finished speaking, Jiang Meishu nodded like a chick pecking at rice. She had been waiting for this sentence.

At the end.

When she was about to leave, Jiang Meishu really came in vertically and left horizontally.

Her stomach was so full that she almost had to hold it up.

This is really a happy meal.

Before she even left the house, she glanced back at the state-owned restaurant's sign, "This one's delicious."

Liang Qiurun noticed her movements, thought for a moment, and said softly, "Come over to eat when you have a chance."

The elders seemed to be willing to give time and space to these two young people.

After a while, everyone had left.

Even Liang Rui was taken away, leaving only Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun.

Now that she no longer had the cover of eating, she felt a little more embarrassed.

I don't know how to start.

Liang Qiurun seemed to have noticed, "There's a new Lao Mo restaurant in the Guangdong University of Foreign Studies area."

"Next time if you have time, we can try it."

Jiang Meishu's eyes lit up when she heard that. "Is it delicious?"

Her eyes are extremely beautiful, round almond-shaped, with dark pupils, clear black and white. When they are so bright, it seems as if there are stars hidden in her eyes.

Even Liang Qiurun was stunned for a moment. He averted his gaze unnaturally, looked ahead, and said in a clear voice, "It tastes okay."

"I've been to Lao Mo's restaurant before when I entertained leaders, and they all praised it highly."

Jiang Meishu heard this and said, "Then I'll definitely give it a try if I have the chance in the future."

If she remembered correctly, Lao Mo Restaurant was the Western restaurant of later generations.

However, these days, Lao Mo's restaurant mainly serves dishes cooked by the Russians.

In downtown Beijing, many well-off families are proud to dine at Lao Mo's restaurant.

Liang Qiurun hummed, "Next time I come across a ticket to Lao Mo's restaurant, I'll keep it."

I used to give it to others.

He doesn't like Western food, and neither does Liang Rui.

Both of them have Chinese food appetites.

He gave away all the meal tickets to Lao Mo's restaurant that others coveted.

Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and smiled, "Well, I'll have a treat from now on."

"Thank you, Director Liang."

Calling him "Director Liang" seemed a little unfamiliar.

Liang Qiurun was silent for a moment, "Just call my name."

Jiang Meishu thought for a moment, "Then it's Lao Liang?"

She couldn't call out the name Qiu Run. After all, Liang Qiu Run's aura was so majestic, and there was also an age difference between them.

Calling Qiurun always feels like taking advantage of the other person.

Liang Qiurun said, "That's fine."

"Then I'll call you Xiao Jiang."

"Lao Liang."

"Xiao Jiang."

The two sides looked at each other and saw a faint smile in each other's eyes.

The atmosphere is just right.

Secretary Chen ran over and, after much hesitation, interrupted the two of them. "Leader."

He went ahead with it.

"Secretary He is here."

Liang Qiurun raised his hand to check the time. It was only 3:30 in the afternoon. He had originally taken a day off.

Jiang Meishu just didn't want to have any more awkward conversation with Liang Qiurun.

So, she said very considerately, "Lao Liang, work is important. Go and get busy with your work first."

When Liang Qiurun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, "What about you?"

"I'm going home."

Liang Qiurun was somewhat surprised at Jiang Meishu's thoughtfulness and virtue, and he became more and more satisfied with Jiang Meishu.

This is the kind of understanding wife he is looking for.

However, because of this, he felt even more guilty, "Then I'll take you home first."

This time, Jiang Meishu did not refuse.

The weather was really getting colder day by day. At three or four o'clock, the northwest wind was blowing, blowing into my clothes.

With a ready-made car to ride in, Jiang Meishu naturally didn't want to suffer.

The car arrived at the entrance of the alley. Jiang Meishu got out of the car and waved to Liang Qiurun.

Liang Qiurun carefully observed her expression and after confirming that she was not unhappy at all, he felt even more guilty. "Comrade Xiao Jiang."

Jiang Meishu was about to turn around, but she turned back to look at him.

At the entrance of the alley, Liang Qiurun stood at the door of a black car, tall and graceful, gentle and elegant.

Jiang Meishu seemed a little surprised. What did Liang Qiurun call her for?

"I'm really sorry." Liang Qiurun said gently.

Jiang Meishu smiled brightly when she heard this, "Not really, just get back to work."

She is very generous.

Very considerate too.

This made Liang Qiurun stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, he took out a wallet from his pocket, counted out five big unity bills from it, and handed them to her. "I can't accompany you, go buy something delicious by yourself."

Jiang Meishu, "???"

Look at the money handed over.

She was confused, "Lao Liang, what are you doing?"

"apologize."

Liang Qiurun, who has always been gentle, was strong for once and directly put the Great Unity into Jiang Meishu's hands.

"Keep it."

After he finished speaking, without giving Jiang Meishu a chance to refuse, he turned around and got into the car.

Even after getting in the car, Liang Qiurun couldn't help thinking.

Comrade Xiao Jiang is truly a perfect marriage partner.

Secretary Chen glanced at Liang Qiurun through the rearview mirror and flattered him, "Leader, Comrade Jiang is very considerate, virtuous, and understanding."

Liang Qiurun hummed, "She's fine."

The better she is.

The more he felt sorry for her.

Watching the car leave.

Then he looked at the five great unity cards in his hand.

Expand and read again and again.

It was the first time she received so much money, which was equivalent to more than one month's salary of her father.

It is equivalent to the money her sister saved for two years.

And Liang Qiurun just gave her so much money like that!

So much money!!!

Jiang Meishu tightened her grip a little, her eyes sparkling as she murmured, "Are you giving me money just for a disagreement?"

"Isn't this kind of partner too good?!"

The key is that she doesn't need to be accompanied or served, and she doesn't have to stay at home all year round.

At this moment, Jiang Meishu only regretted that she had not gotten married earlier.

She really should get a dozen of these guys!

Jiang Meishu returned home in a very happy mood.

When she entered, Wang Limei had already returned. There was also Jiang Lamei, and Jiang Meilan, who had been waiting for news.

They originally thought Jiang Meishu would come back in the evening.

But I didn't expect——

As soon as they got home, Jiang Meishu followed.

"Meishu, why are you back so early? Didn't you say you were going for a walk with Director Liang?"

Jiang Meishu came in, took a sip of hot water from an enamel pot, and immediately felt her whole body warm up. "Lao Liang went out to work, so I came back first."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over, somewhat shocked.

"You're not angry?"

Jiang Meilan asked tentatively.

After all, after the elders of both sides had reached an agreement, the two young people met for the first time, and it could be said that they were going on a date.

In the end, the date only lasted an hour?

Maybe after half an hour, the other party stood up Jiang Meishu.

If this happened to Jiang Meilan in her previous life, she would be so angry that she would smash all the pots in the house.

This is too disrespectful to people.

Jiang Meishu held the enamel pot, white mist swirling around her delicate eyebrows and eyes. She asked blankly, "Why are you angry?"

She didn't understand, "Isn't this kind of person who doesn't need to accompany me, doesn't need to be served, and doesn't even need to get along with me good enough?"

What does this equate to?

For those who are in a relationship, the boyfriend is devoted to work and gives money whenever there is a disagreement.

For married people, it means that the husband is often away on business or work and never comes home, but sends money on time.

For Jiang Meishu, this is simply a fairy tale life.

It seems that my sister is not angry at all, but seems to think it’s a good thing.

Jiang Meilan was a little dazed. "Maybe, your personality is suitable for Liang Qiurun."

If she had encountered such a thing in her previous life, she would have felt sorry for herself, lonely, and that marriage was meaningless.

It’s even worse than getting married.

Jiang Meishu was puzzled, "What's wrong with this?"

"Isn't this like a job? I don't have to go to work, I don't have to face my boss, and I can get money to go home and have fun."

"That's great, sis."

She really felt that her sister was not sober enough.

All I can say is, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Jiang Meilan couldn't accept this kind of life, but Jiang Meishu accepted it very well!

She wished she could live this kind of life forever!

*

On the way back to the Liang family, Liang's mother was still sighing with Shen Mingying, "I wonder if Qiu Run can be considered as having come to his senses. When we left, we asked him to stay and talk to Xiao Jiang. For the first time, he didn't object and actually stayed with Xiao Jiang."

Shen Mingying smiled and said, "Qiu Run has finally come to his senses. Aren't you happy, Mom?"

I'm afraid that my brother-in-law won't be smart enough to marry a wife to help him discipline the children. That would be a bit hurtful.

Mother Liang thought of her youngest son's personality, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat. "No, this child is passionate about work and not about marriage. Don't let him disagree later."

"When I get home, I'll look up the almanac and pick a date that's close at hand to get this done."

She said so and did it. The first thing she did when she got home was to take out the calendar.

Start looking closely.

"The 8th, 16th, and 18th of this month's lunar calendar are all auspicious days."

"How about this, it's better to do it today than to wait for a day. How about we set the 8th as the nearest day to go to the Jiang family to propose marriage?"

Shen Mingying was helpless, "Mom, tomorrow is the sixth."

"If we order number eight, we'll have to gather three turns and one ring within two days, plus 108 legs. That's not going to be easy."

People start preparing for their wedding half a year, or even a year or three years in advance.

This is because Liang Qiurun suddenly agreed to the blind date without any preparation.

Shen Mingying's words calmed Liang's mother down.

"That's not enough."

It would take more than a short time to buy three turns and one bell, let alone one hundred and eight legs.

These things have to be done first.

Liang's mother paced around the room and clapped her hands, "No, these things need to be expedited."

"Then we can't set a date yet. We need to go to Tongxinghe first and ask if they have any ready-made furniture. We want to buy ready-made furniture."

"Three more turns and one more ring. Mingying, I'll find a way to get the ticket. Money is not a problem, but the goods—"

The goods are the most important.

Shen Mingying, "Our department store may not have it, but I can go ask."

"I'll first decide internally how much stock to have."

This is the advantage of working in a department store. Moreover, Shen Mingying is not a front-line salesperson, but a middle-level external purchaser.

For Shen Mingying, there is almost no goods she can't get.

"Hey, Mom is waiting for you to say this."

"What are you talking about?"

As soon as Chen Hongjiao came in, she heard her second brother's wife and mother-in-law talking excitedly.

Liang's mother doesn't like her.

So is Shen Mingying.

After she came in, the two of them stopped talking as they did before. This made Chen Hongjiao feel isolated.

She paused, then took the initiative to strike up a conversation, "Mom, how was the meeting with Qiu Run's father-in-law?"

Liang's mother hummed, "Not bad."

Chen Hongjiao wanted to ask again.

Unfortunately, Liang's mother was about to go out, but halfway through, she turned back and pulled Shen Mingying with her, "Come with me to Tongxinghe."

Shen Mingying was really busy. She had taken half a day off in the morning and had to go back to check the accounts in the afternoon. Otherwise, the incoming and outgoing purchase orders for the department store would pile up again tomorrow.

She thought for a moment and said, "Mom, why don't you ask Xiao Jiang to go with you?"

"Anyway, the 108 legs you bought are for Xiao Jiang."

This is such a brilliant idea!

Liang's mother's eyes lit up immediately, "Then I'll go find Xiao Jiang."

Halfway through the walk, she sighed again, "Mingying, I don't dare."

This is only possible because she has known her second daughter-in-law for more than ten years.

As for her daughter-in-law, Liang's mother didn't dare to get along with her since they had just met.

Although, she is passionate inside!

In fact, he didn't even dare to go out.

Chen Hongjiao replied, "Mom, I'll go with you."

Liang's mother said subconsciously, "Forget it then."

Don't let the furniture she buys for her younger daughter-in-law happen to make her older daughter-in-law cry about having a hard time and ask her for money.

I saw that my mother-in-law directly rejected me.

Chen Hongjiao felt a little uncomfortable, "Mom, I'm your daughter-in-law, do you have to be so wary of me?"

Liang's mother glanced at her and said, "These are the furniture I bought for Xiao Jiang. What are you going to do?"

"I'll go find Xiao Jiang."

With her eldest daughter-in-law pressuring her like this, she felt that she could also go to Xiao Jiang to look at furniture on her own!

Liang's mother was a person of action, so she took action immediately.

When she went to Jiang's house.

Jiang Meishu was pasting matchboxes. While pasting them, she was thinking about how she should spend the money Liang Qiurun gave her.

It cost her one cent to make ten matchboxes, so if she wanted to earn one cent she had to make a hundred.

The fifty yuan Liang Qiurun gave her was equivalent to what she would have earned by working tirelessly and pasting tens of thousands of matchboxes.

Is Liang Qiurun so rich?

Jiang Meishu thought uncertainly.

"Paste it carefully and don't make any mistakes, otherwise you will have to redo it later." Wang Lamei reminded her little girl when she saw her daughter distracted.

Jiang Meishu hummed.

"I don't know when the Liang family has set the date. I want to wait until they decide on the date, and then I'll buy you some dowry."

Jiang Meishu shook her head, "Maybe it's nearby."

She could feel that Liang's mother seemed a little anxious.

As soon as these words fell.

A voice came from outside, "Is Xiao Jiang home?"

The voice sounds familiar.

Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment, "It seems to be Lao Liang's mother?"

Wang Lamei clapped her hands and said, "What Lao Liang's mother? This is your mother-in-law."

"What did you yell?"

She got up and went out, and as expected, she saw Liang's mother in the yard. She was alone and looked quite embarrassed.

Wang Limei immediately went up to him and asked, "My dear, why are you here?"

Liang's mother was not very good at chatting, so she kept itating for a long time and said, "Come to find Xiao Jiang."

"Take her to see the next style with one hundred and eight legs."

After saying this, she immediately looked at Wang Limei nervously, "In-law, can you lend me Xiao Jiang?"

This question is asked like a child.

Somewhat funny.

Wang Limei couldn't stop laughing. "It's not a matter of whether to lend it or not."

"My Mei and Lan are almost becoming members of your Liang family."

She called out into the house, "Meilan, come out."

Jiang Meishu was also surprised that Liang's mother came to see her at this time.

She put down the matchbox in her hand, then came out and called out, "Aunt Liang?"

When Liang's mother saw her, her eyes suddenly lit up and she asked nervously, "Are you free? I want you to accompany me to see the 108 legs."

"Your second sister-in-law has to go to work. She doesn't have time to accompany me. Qiu Run is also at work. I can't find anyone. Let's go with your eldest sister-in-law. I don't really want to be with her."

"I just want to go furniture shopping with you."

That's quite straightforward.

After saying that, Liang's mother looked at Jiang Meishu expectantly.

It really took her a lot of courage to come out.

Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment and pointed at her nose, "I'm going to look at furniture?"

"Yes, it's you."

Seeing that she didn't agree immediately, Liang's mother was a little disappointed. "Don't you want to?"

"If you don't want to, forget it."

"I'll go by myself."

It’s not that you can’t go.

Isn't it just about meeting someone?

You won’t die anyway!

Jiang Meishu immediately shook her head, "No, I didn't say I wouldn't go."

Now, Liang's mother's dim eyes suddenly brightened.

She is actually not young anymore, she is 55 years old this year, but because she has lived a good life, she has a round face, full and fleshy. When she smiles, her cheeks are plump and she looks quite kind.

"I'll wash my hands and come right back."

Liang's mother nodded immediately.

Jiang Meishu washed her hands and came out immediately. Wang Limei was very considerate and took two oranges from home and asked her to entertain her mother-in-law.

Jiang Meishu did not refuse. She put the money in her pocket and followed Liang's mother out of the compound.

The wind outside is a bit strong.

Jiang Meishu subconsciously hid her face in her clothes and looked around. "Aunt Liang, how did you get here?"

She didn't see the bicycle.

I didn't see any car either.

Liang's mother said, "I asked Mingying to ride her bike to take me here, but now Mingying is gone."

Jiang Meishu, "..."

She was stunned for a moment, "Then how do we get there?"

Liang's mother doesn't like taking the bus, and she doesn't have a bicycle at the moment.

Only then did she realize that she couldn't go to Tongxinghe.

"How about we walk over there?"

Jiang Meishu said, "That's fine."

However, what Liang's mother didn't mention was that it was a full thirteen miles from Qudeng Hutong to Tongxinghe. If you walked there, it would take at least two hours to get there.

However, it’s not that Liang’s mother didn’t say it, but that Liang’s mother is a socially anxious person. She has stayed at home for so many years and rarely goes out.

Less than the size of a palm.

So, she really had no idea.

Two people were walking on the road.

Liang's mother also bought Jiang Meishu a hot roasted sweet potato, "This sweet potato is sweet, you have one and I have one."

She really is willing to do it.

If Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan had come to buy it in the past, they would have bought the triangular sweet potatoes that didn't require a ticket and cost three cents each.

Liang's mother bought the T kind of sweet potato, each one was as big as a pigeon. The skin was baked to produce sweet potato honey, and the flesh inside was soft, fluffy and sweet.

Of course it’s expensive too.

These big roasted sweet potatoes cost ten cents each.

Liang's mother bought it without blinking an eye and said nervously, "Try it."

Jiang Meishu also craves this, especially in winter when the weather is cold. It is really comfortable to hold a hot roasted sweet potato and take a bite.

"Want some more sugar water?"

"I see there's a shop selling sweet soup in front."

Before Jiang Meishu even asked for it, Liang's mother ran to the front to buy it.

When she came over, she was holding two enamel pots in her hands and hesitantly said, "I put a 20-cent deposit on the enamel pots. I have to return it when I come back."

Jiang Meishu took the enamel pot and took a look. It contained pear juice.

She took a sip and the sweetness reached her heart. Her eyes curved with satisfaction, "It tastes good."

Seeing that she liked it, Liang's mother couldn't help but smile.

When she smiled, wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes, and her plump and fair complexion added a sense of wealth and kindness.

Not far away.

Liang Qiurun had just returned from a meeting, and Secretary Chen drove him back to the meat processing plant. Halfway through the drive, he looked out the glass window again and again.

"Leaders, it seems to be Aunt Liang and Comrade Jiang."

Liang Qiurun was originally looking at the document he had just received. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but look up.

It’s true.

He frowned, "Drive over."

He didn't quite understand why his mother and Xiao Jiang were on the curb of the main road at this moment.

Front.

Liang's mother walked slowly, taking a bite of sweet potato and a sip of sugar water, and was extremely happy. However, she was halfway through her happiness when she suddenly realized something belatedly.

"Xiao Jiang, aren't you going on a date with our Qiu Run this afternoon?"

"Why were you at home when I came to look for you?"

Perhaps after a while of getting to know each other, Liang's mother was no longer as nervous and socially anxious as before, and she even dared to ask questions proactively.

Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment before she realized, "It seems Director Liang has a meeting this afternoon, so I'll be going home first."

When Liang's mother heard this, the kind smile on her face disappeared immediately. "I knew this child only cared about work."

"Xiao Jiang, I'm sorry for wronging you."

"Don't worry, Qiu Run won't accompany you, but Mom will."

The car stopped by the roadside. Liang Qiurun never expected that before he could even speak after rolling down the window, he would hear his mother applying eye drops in front of Xiao Jiang.

He could barely maintain his gentle expression. "Mother, Xiao Jiang, why are you here?"

this--

Suddenly I saw Liang Qiurun appear here.

Jiang Meishu and Liang's mother were both startled. "Why did you suddenly appear here?"

"Are you scared to death?"

Liang's mother patted her chest with her chubby hands, "You didn't even make a sound. Your mother was scared to death by you, and you became an orphan."

Liang Qiurun smiled, "Mom, I'm asking you, why are you here?"

Liang's mother complained, "You're too busy, and your second sister-in-law is busy too. I didn't dare go to Tongxinghe to look at furniture by myself, so I came here to ask Xiao Jiang to accompany me."

Liang Qiurun's eyebrows twitched. "Tongxinghe is almost twenty miles away from here. How are you planning to get there?"

How to get there.

"Go over there."

Liang's mother finally reacted, "Is it so far?"

"Qiu Run, please take Xiao Jiang and me there."

Without waiting for Liang Qiurun to refuse, Liang's mother pulled Jiang Meishu into the back seat of the car. As soon as she got in, she couldn't help but sigh, "It's still warm in a car."

"It's also your dad's fault for not being qualified, otherwise I would have asked him to provide a car for the family."

Liang Qiurun got into the car without saying anything and sat in the passenger seat. Then he asked Jiang Meishu, "How long have you been gone?"

He didn't even ask Liang's mother.

Because Liang Qiurun knew that his mother was unreliable, especially after she left home, she became even more unreliable.

Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and asked, "About forty minutes?"

"I didn't walk far. I just ate."

In his hands, he also held roasted sweet potatoes, pear juice, and a small bag of roasted chestnuts.

To be honest, when I went out with Liang's mother, except for the pain on my feet, my mouth really didn't suffer.

Jiang Meishu had no idea that there were so many delicious foods in the old city in the 1970s.

Liang Qiurun pinched his brows and said, "Next time you go out, you can call my office first and I will ask Secretary Chen to pick you up."

this--

Jiang Meishu subconsciously asked, "Is this too much trouble?"

Mother Liang took a bite of the roasted sweet potato. It was so sweet that she squinted her eyes and said as a matter of course, "Isn't it my duty to trouble her?"

When Liang Qiurun said this, he looked over and said, "Mother, you can't eat sweets."

Liang's mother subconsciously hid the sweet potato behind her back. "This is what Xiao Jiang bought for me. It's a filial gift to me, right, Xiao Jiang?"

Jiang Meishu, "..."

God milk.

She didn't spend a penny when she came out. Not only that, everything she had was bought by Liang's mother.

However, facing Liang's mother's blame-shifting.

She subconsciously took the pot and held it firmly on her head.

"yes."

Said it with a stiff upper lip.

She was not good at lying and felt extremely guilty, so much so that her ears were burning, her cheeks were flushed, and she didn't know where to look.

Anyway, I didn’t dare to look Liang Qiurun in the eye.

Seeing her like this, what was there for Liang Qiurun to not understand?

"Leader, where are we going?"

Secretary Chen couldn't help but ask.

Liang Qiurun, "Go to Tongxinghe University of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies."

Secretary Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. "Tong Xinghe."

This place has a history of hundreds of years and is a well-known brand in the city. It is also a place that makes good home furnishings.

Decades ago, that was the favorite place for princes and princesses to go when they got married.

However, Tongxinghe is no longer a private company, but a public-private partnership, which is why it has been able to survive.

Arrived at Tongxinghe.

Secretary Chen stopped the car. Liang Qiurun got out first to open the door, and then saw his mother and Jiang Meishu get out.

He then instructed Secretary Chen through the car window, "Wait for me outside."

Secretary Chen naturally agreed.

Went inside.

Jiang Meishu felt that her eyes had been opened. In a hall of over a hundred square meters, there were all kinds of wooden furniture.

There is a wardrobe with a large mirror, a chest of drawers, a cupboard, and a TV cabinet.

Wooden bed.

Wooden chair.

Almost everything you can think of is available here.

Isn’t this similar to the furniture stores of later generations?

But this was a furniture store in the seventies.

After entering here, although Liang's mother was socially anxious, the money and tickets in her pocket gave her confidence. She said to Jiang Meishu, "Xiao Jiang, is there anything you like?"

"Let's pull it back first."

Jiang Meishu always felt that Liang's mother's tone was as if she was talking about buying cabbage.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Let's take a look first?"

"Alright?"

After they came in, the sales manager of Tongxinghe came over and asked, "Comrade, what do you want to see?"

Liang's mother fell silent instantly and hid behind Liang Qiurun and Jiang Meishu.

Compared to these two people.

This store manager is even more of an outsider.

Liang's mother didn't dare to contact him at all.

It was Liang Qiurun who spoke again, "Let's look at the 108 legs."

When Manager Zhu heard that this was a large order, he immediately said, "Then follow me to the back. The ones in the back are all old goods."

Now, Jiang Meishu finally felt the treatment that wealthy families received in the 1970s.

It is said to be the back, but in fact it is more like a larger hall, covering the patio and making it a large factory.

It's several hundred square meters.

"This is the foundation of our Tongxinghe. It's basically all here." Business is not easy nowadays, especially since it's popular to just get a marriage certificate and get married.

There is no need for any intermediate links.

As a result, they accumulated batch after batch of Tongxinghe furniture, but it was almost difficult to sell them.

"I wonder if there's anything you like?"

Jiang Meishu didn't quite understand this, so she went to see Liang's mother.

Liang's mother understood that people who were born under good conditions would have extremely sharp eyes.

She picked out the goods and pointed, "This, this, this."

"Pack everything up."

"Meishu, do you prefer this large walk-in wardrobe with a mirror, or this connecting wardrobe?"

Jiang Meishu took a look and said, "I like this kind of cabinets."

There was only one set of mirrored wardrobes, but three sets of connecting cabinets. However, she was worried, "Will it be too expensive?"

"Money is not a problem, and tickets are not a problem either." Liang's mother pointed, "Then this one."

In a short while, dozens of legs were ordered. Manager Zhu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. "What about this kind of bed? We have wooden beds and the most fashionable Simmons mattresses."

“This bed is incredibly soft.”

Mother Liang didn't want to talk to Manager Zhu. She leaned over to Jiang Meishu, pulled her to sit down, and asked in a low voice, "Do you like a wooden bed or this Simmons mattress?"

She likes to sleep on a wooden bed so that her back doesn't hurt.

Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said, "Simmons." She was used to sleeping on a Simmons mattress in her previous life, but after coming here, she slept on a spring bed every day, which caused her waist to ache.

"Then this one."

Liang's mother gestured and said, "But this bed is too small."

"Is there a bigger one?" If two people sleep in the bed, it will be too small for them to fight over and toss around.

As soon as these words fell, Liang Qiurun subconsciously said, "Mom, the bed doesn't need to be that big."

Anyway, Xiao Jiang sleeps alone.

Now Liang's mother understood his subconscious thoughts. She was originally in a good mood, but her son immediately annoyed her. She immediately asked, "What? Are you planning to leave Xiao Jiang alone after marriage?"

"Aren't you going to sleep with Xiao T Jiang?"

"Then I'll go sleep with Xiao Jiang."
