At this moment, some curious neighbors also came over.
Upon seeing the five-pound piece of fresh pork, she exclaimed, "Cuihua, your new son-in-law is too generous! This piece of pork must weigh five or six pounds!"
"Oh, it's all from the new son-in-law's good intentions, so I can't refuse. Actually, even if he didn't bring anything, Old Jiang and I wouldn't say anything!" Jiang's mother said with a Versailles-like expression.
"These must be Chen's pastries, right? I heard a box costs three yuan and sixty cents!"
"This is a Moutai bar. I heard a bottle costs eight yuan!"
"Good heavens, Cuihua, what does your new son-in-law do for a living? He's brought so many nice things to show his respect to you!"
Seeing the shocked and envious looks on her neighbors' faces, Jiang's mother was quite pleased: "Well, it's just an ordinary job, I work as a driver in the steel mill's transport team!"
"So it was the driver!"
"Being a driver is highly sought after; I wouldn't trade it for a county magistrate position!"
"Cuihua, you and Lao Jiang are going to enjoy a life of luxury from now on!"
Hearing everyone's praise, Jiang's mother couldn't hide her pride. She felt even more approval for her new son-in-law, because he was such a good person and had brought great honor to the Jiang family.
Seeing this, Gao Yan's expression turned somewhat strange!
Jiang Ying felt a little awkward: "Brother Gao, let's go inside!"
Gao Yan followed Jiang Ying into the house and saw Jiang's father sitting there drinking tea.
"Dad, this is my boyfriend, Gao Jiefang!"
"Hello, Uncle, I'm Gao Jiefang!" Gao Yan said politely.
"Xiao Gao, don't be shy, sit down and let's talk!"
Father Jiang pretended to be stern and then instructed Jiang Ying to make tea!
"Uncle, do you smoke?" Gao Yan asked.
"Ahem, your aunt is strict, so she doesn't smoke much!"
Father Jiang said somewhat awkwardly.
"You really should smoke less. Luckily, Uncle, I've got a new kind of cigarette that has less tar and isn't as harmful!"
As they were talking, Gao Yan took out a pack of special-supply cigarettes and handed it to Jiang's father!
"Good heavens, it's a special-supply cigarette!"
Mr. Jiang's eyes widened, and he abandoned all pretense of modesty, directly taking the entire pack of special-supply cigarettes. Then he lowered his voice and asked, "Xiao Gao, where did you get these cigarettes?"
"I helped a leader once, and the leader gave it to me!" Gao said.
"That leader isn't a junior leader, is he?"
Gao Yan smiled and said, "I don't know exactly what kind of leader it is. They didn't say, and I didn't ask!"
"You did the right thing!"
Father Jiang nodded.
And so, the two began to chat.
And the more they talked, the more compatible they became.
Seeing this, Jiang Ying was quite happy.
I never expected Brother Gao to be so amazing. He easily won over Mom first, and then he won over Dad in no time!
Half an hour later.
Jiang's mother finally carried the things into the house.
Gao Yan then played chess with Jiang's father.
These days, there aren't many forms of entertainment.
Therefore, playing chess is a pretty good form of entertainment.
Jiang's father is a good chess player, but he is not as good as Gao Yan.
But this is his future father-in-law, so he can't win. Therefore, Gao Yan not only has to give way, but he also has to give way in a way that makes it impossible for Jiang's father to see it!
After a fierce battle...
Jiang's father finally won, but he was quite satisfied, feeling as if he had met his match.
"Xiao Gao, your chess skills are pretty good!"
"Uncle, you flatter me. I am still quite a bit inferior to you. To be honest, when I used to play chess with my friends, very few people could beat me. But after meeting you today, I realized that there are always people better than you!"
After being flattered by Gao Yan, Jiang's father couldn't help but feel flattered and decided that Gao Yan was his son-in-law.
This lunch.
Everyone enjoyed the meal immensely.
Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were quite satisfied with Gao Yan, because after the meal, they both brought up the matter of marriage!
"Uncle, Aunt, I have no objection to the marriage, it's just a matter of Xiaoying's opinion...?"
Jiang Ying blushed and said shyly, "I'll listen to my parents!"
Seeing their daughter like this, how could parents not know what she was thinking?
So, Father Jiang said, "Here's what we'll do: I'll have someone choose an auspicious day so we can finalize your marriage as soon as possible!"
"Uncle, Auntie thanks you. Once you've chosen a date, I'll arrange for someone to come and propose marriage. What do you think?"
Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Jiang had any objections to this.
After finishing their business, Gao Yan prepared to leave. However, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were very hospitable and insisted that he stay for dinner. Gao Yan could not refuse and had no choice but to stay.
"Xiaoying, Xiao Gao drank quite a bit at noon, why don't you take him to your room to rest?" Jiang's mother said.
So, Gao Yan followed the shy Jiang Ying to her room.
Jiang Ying's room was nothing special, except that it was very clean.
After closing the door, Gao Yan also regained his original appearance.
"This looks much better!"
Jiang Ying said.
"Is it more comfortable, or more handsome?"
Gao Yan said with a grin.
However, since it was his first visit, Gao Yan wanted to make a good impression on Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, so he only made a few jokes and did not do anything excessive.
After having dinner at the Jiang family's house that evening, Gao Yan said goodbye and left!
At the same time, I also sighed, it's not easy being a time management master.
He had read a news article about a man who dated over a hundred girlfriends at the same time, and for a long period of time, none of these girlfriends knew of the existence of the others.
On the contrary, I think he is very devoted.
It wasn't until one day, when he had an accident and the doctor notified his family, that the truth finally came out.
