Chapter 121: Liu Ping remained unmoved.
Chapter 121
The young man that Liu Suqin and Liu Xiangxiang both like is called Chen Jiaxin. His grandfather is a cousin of Uncle Chen's father. If you round it off, the young man is also a cousin of Chen Jiaming.
Like Grandpa Chen, Chen Jiaxin's family is also one of the few simple families in the village. His older brother and older sister are both married, and he is the youngest son. Since he is not married yet, the family has no plans to divide the family at present, but his parents have said that when they are old, the two buildings in the family will be divided equally between the two brothers.
Of course, such conditions are common in Uncle Chen's village, but Liu Suqin and her family have lived in the village for nearly two years and have not had much contact with Chen Jiaxin's parents. They also know that this family has a good reputation and that after becoming rich, they live a down-to-earth life collecting rent and do not engage in messy things.
She also had some impression of the young man. He was a gentle-looking young man wearing glasses. Compared with most of the young people who were unruly and lazy, he was a breath of fresh air in the village.
So when Liu Suqin heard this name, she was really flattered. Chen Jiaxin was not only gentle-looking, but also a serious technical secondary school student. He was one of the few "top students" in their village. Later, his family used their connections to send him to the town government to work in the office. I heard that he was a small clerk in the Propaganda Department. Judging from his work and academic qualifications, he was a young talent that was favored by the surrounding villages. Why didn't they keep such a good guy internally and introduce him to other places?
Liu Suqin later learned from her cousin that there was a reason why Uncle Chen brought them together. Chen Jiaxin, who was considered a golden boy by many mothers-in-law, was difficult to deal with. When the average height of local girls did not exceed 1.6 meters, he actually wanted to find a partner who was 1.65 meters tall.
Moreover, height is only a hard requirement and not the only requirement. He also hopes that the girl is good-looking, virtuous and family-oriented, and it would be best if she works in an office like him.
Commonly known as wanting this and more.
After all, there are girls who have these advantages and are a good match for him, and they have better options than him.
Chen Jiaxin went from being a popular commodity at the beginning to being a difficult person on the matchmaker's list.
Fortunately, his parents really doted on their youngest son. Seeing that the market was gradually declining, and the boy was stubborn and refused to give in, they had to take a step back and no longer required a local household registration. As long as the girl had good character and a decent job, their family would consider it.
To be honest, there is a serious trend of favoring boys over girls in the local area. Many people in the village who have been relocated will not give their daughters any real estate as dowry when they marry them off. At most, they will give them some gold and cash as a favor. However, Chen Jiaxin's parents are not short of the tens of thousands of yuan, so they are willing to take a step back.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the girl herself is good enough.
If you carefully choose and finally marry an ordinary wife from another place, you will become the laughing stock of everyone.
Liu Suqin didn't know whether her cousin could meet the expectations of her future in-laws, but she at least perfectly met the young man's own standards for choosing a spouse. Those who didn't know would think that Chen Jiaxin's conditions were based on her.
Of course this is impossible, as they have never met before, so it can only be attributed to fate.
Before the two young people officially met, the nervous Liu Xiangxiang came to her for advice. The first love little white dress that Liu Suqin did not let Li Hong adopt finally came in handy. She also personally drew a delicate nude makeup for her cousin, and the effect was amazing. The young man was fascinated by her at the first meeting.
Liu Xiangxiang was also very satisfied. She was a bit love-sick. Compared with external material conditions, she obviously cared more about whether there was attraction between each other. Her first love, whom she almost got together with, was a college student. It can be seen that her aesthetic taste was this kind of elegant and literary type.
The two young people who were each other's ideal type fell in love from the first time they met.
Companies and units in Shenzhen are basically closed on Sundays, and Chen Jiaxin is also free in the township office. He comes to the city to see Liu Xiangxiang almost every week, and they have meals and go shopping together. Their relationship is growing rapidly.
One of the characteristics of a love-brained person is that he likes to share his sweetness with others. Liu Xiangxiang remembered her cousin's initial advice and talked less and did more in the company, so she could only keep it to herself at work, and occasionally talk to Liu Suqin or Liu Ping about it.
Qian Juxiang also tried to inquire indirectly, but Liu Xiangxiang was still in the ambiguous period and would never talk about these things with her elders. Every time she was asked, she would blush and pretend to be shy.
But even if she didn't say it, Qian Juxiang could guess it.
After all, after Liu Xiangxiang got a stable job, as long as she didn't have plans with colleagues or friends to go shopping during holidays, she would bring some fruit to their place, help with the housework, or take Xiao Fangfang out to play and watch TV for a while. She would not go back until it was dark.
Since meeting the person introduced by Uncle Chen, Liu Xiangxiang only visited his family once, and that was to deliver the company's Dragon Boat Festival benefits. She lived in the employee dormitory rented by the company and it was inconvenient for her to cook, so she gave all the rice, flour, grain and oil from the holiday benefits to her cousin's family.
She came to deliver something that time, sat for a while and then left. She also told them in advance that she might not be able to come during the Dragon Boat Festival because of something she had to do. Qian Juxiang then asked Li Xiaoqing, who was a good friend of Liu Xiangxiang, and the other party also said that they had not gone shopping together for a long time. Now she could guess what was going on with Liu Xiangxiang with her toes.
He must be busy with love.
If nothing unexpected happens, her second half of life will be completely stable.
There is a saying in their hometown that it is better for a girl to marry well than to study well and work well. Before coming to Shenzhen, Qian Juxiang also believed in this saying. Of course, now she thinks it is best for her daughter to be her own boss, and having it is better than anyone else's.
But it is also undeniable that Xiangxiang is so lucky that people envy her. Once she gets married to this young man named Chen, she will get a building for free when she divides the family property. It is almost like holding a mountain of gold. She will be able to lie down and enjoy the rest of her life.
Whenever she thought of this, Qian Juxiang would sigh and lament why the fourth child was a son and not a daughter. If Suqin had a younger sister, such a good partner would definitely be her younger sister.
It's a pity that Liu Ping was born with the wrong gender and can't change his fate by getting married.
But her niece Liu Xiangxiang is going to stay in Shenzhen, and her future children will also be children of big cities. This will not only change herself, but also the fate of the next generation. If Qian Juxiang still plans to let Liu Ping return to his hometown in two years to get married and settle down, she will feel unwilling to do so.
After all, his youngest son is not bad either. He works hard and has a good income. He came to Shenzhen with Liu Xiangxiang to live with his elder sister. It is impossible that his cousin will stay in Shenzhen to settle down while he, her younger brother, has to return to his hometown in disgrace, right?
Outsiders will not care about the inside story. They will only laugh at the fourth brother for being a hopeless case and not getting any credit. Now, whether for the sake of money or face, Qian Juxiang hopes that the fourth brother will stay in Shenzhen.
He is a boy and cannot live off his wife, but as long as he listens and works for his sister, supporting the family will not be a problem. If he owns a house in Shenzhen, he will be truly stable and it will not be difficult for him to get married and raise children in the future.
Considering buying a house, it is indeed better to buy early and enjoy it early. You can save thousands of dollars in rent a year. Only a fool would not do it.
But she understood the logic, the problem was that she had no money, so under Liu Suqin's expectant gaze, Qian Juxiang thought for a long time and only squeezed out one sentence, "You say it so easily, buying a house is free, right?"
Liu Suqin really wanted to roll her eyes. Why was he making trouble again? It was clearly she who suggested buying a house first.
However, on such a happy occasion, she didn't bother with the menopausal woman. Liu Suqin said that they would talk in detail after dinner, took Liu Ping with her, and started to concentrate on eating.
Qian Juxiang was so upset by these words that she had wild thoughts and could not concentrate on her meal.
After everyone finally ate and drank their fill, and went home, Liu Ping, who had practically been dragged into the house by his mother's arm, finally regained his freedom and plopped down on the sofa. "What are you doing? You forced me to come along and didn't even tell you why. I want to go back to bed early because I have to go to work tomorrow."
Qian Juxiang was already worried about him, and seeing his lazy and meaningless attitude, she was even more angry. "How can you sleep well at your age? You don't have a car, a house, or a partner, and you're not worried?"
Liu Ping was very calm and remained unmoved. "At my age, if I want these things, the only options are either living off my parents or robbing a bank."
Qian Juxiang: ...
Lin Nanjiang chuckled and patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder. "You have a good attitude, young man. You're not in a hurry at this time." Although his tone was teasing, there was no lack of admiration in Lin Nanjiang's eyes. No matter what the people around him thought, his brother-in-law was down-to-earth and lived his own life. Perhaps his competitive mother-in-law thought he was not ambitious, but luck was something that could not be envied, and there was no point in being anxious. He turned around and said comfortingly, "But Liu Ping is already very capable. At his age, we earn far less than him. Work hard, and your life will get better and better."
Liu Ping wasn't truly heartless. He knew what his mother was worried about, but he was quite satisfied with his current situation. "Yes, I envy my older sister and her family for getting rich after the demolition, and others envy me for having a good job and a high income. How can I compare to that?"
Qian Juxiang was completely speechless after hearing the two of them singing the same tune, so she simply turned to look at Liu Suqin.
Liu Suqin didn't waste any words and got straight to the point. "Since you have such a high income, how much savings do you have?"
If my mother asked this, Liu Ping would play Tai Chi. My sister wouldn't worry about my little money. He said generously, "Not counting the loan to my second brother, it's exactly ten thousand."
Liu Suqin briefly explained Li Hong's plan for installment repayments on her house purchase. "As long as you work hard, I won't charge you interest. Although your income isn't as high as Li Hong's, half of your monthly salary is more than enough to cover daily expenses. Consider it."
"Why are you still thinking about this? Buy a house sooner and settle down sooner." Qian Juxiang was delighted when she saw that her daughter really wanted to borrow money to buy a house, and that the fourth child was not the first. She said directly, "And you don't have to keep half. You can transfer all his salary to pay off the debt as soon as possible. I will give him some living expenses every month."
