Chapter 19: Doubtful Dad, Mom, I think Jingjing might not be you...
Old Qin was actually quite angry when his son’s engagement was broken off.
It was just because of Yao Jingzong's face that he couldn't get angry.
The one he loved the most was his eldest son Qin Yichen, otherwise he would never have let this boy marry the daughter of the Yao family.
In order to wait for Yao Jingjing to grow up, Lao Qin has rejected countless matchmakers over the years. Moreover, Yao Jingjing is only eighteen years old this year, so she has to wait another two years if she wants to get a marriage certificate.
By then his son will be 25 years old, and he will have wasted so much of his youth.
As a result, Yao Jingjing broke off the engagement.
Although Lao Qin maintained his composure on the surface, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.
I called Yao Jingzong now just to get an explanation.
Unexpectedly, Yao Jingzong was sincere enough to be willing to be his son's godfather.
This is good. With a chief as his godfather, Yicheng's life will be much easier in the future.
He doesn't have to suffer as a son-in-law, after all, the social status of the two families is not matched.
Besides, Yao Jingjing's personality is too artificial, and she is just a lazy person. She couldn't even graduate from a medical school. She is so bad.
Tomorrow he will pick a good one for Yicheng! To outdo Yao Jingjing!
He held his breath and replied, "Alright, from now on, I'll ask you to take good care of Yicheng, Chief."
"It's my duty." Yao Jingzong looked down at the two letters he had just received today and asked, "Old Qin, please ask Yicheng if he has time to go to the wedding for me."
"Attending a wedding? Where to?" Lao Qin was a little curious. He hadn't heard that anyone was getting married in the compound recently.
Yao Jingzong sighed: "That's right, you still remember Qi Guozhong, right?"
Of course Lao Qin remembered that they used to be comrades-in-arms.
He was just lucky and survived, but Lao Qi, just like his name, was buried forever in a foreign land for his country.
He suddenly felt a little sad: "I remember, he had a widow who became a police officer, and a son who seemed to be a sickly child?"
"Yes, it's this sickly guy who is getting married. The wedding is on August 8th of the Gregorian calendar. I have to go to Beijing for a meeting and can't get away. I originally wanted to let Weiguo go, but he can't get leave. If you are willing, let Yicheng go in the name of my son. By the way, please bring the gift money and gifts for me." Yao Jingzong did this after careful consideration.
In fact, he had also considered asking his wife Xie Chunxing to go, but this woman cries too easily. If she did something like this at someone else's wedding, would it be a congratulations or just a nuisance?
Besides, Yicheng went to the wedding on his behalf, which not only gave face to the mother and son, but also proved that he valued Yicheng as a child.
After all, they can all represent him, so they are his closest relatives!
Lao Qin also thought of this, and without hesitation, he immediately agreed: "Okay, Yicheng is an eighth-level worker, and the leaders of the unit have to give him face, so asking for leave is not difficult."
"Okay, please, Lao Qin, I'll take care of the train tickets and round-trip food and accommodation." Yao Jingzong was relieved.
That's Lao Qi's son. He would feel uneasy if he didn't express his gratitude.
After all, without Lao Qi's sacrifice, there would be no peace today.
He has been thinking about the mother and son all these years, but unfortunately he is too busy and far away to be able to spare the time.
After hanging up the phone, he wrote a reply.
Even if he had time, he didn't want to go to the wedding of Yao Erdan's fourth daughter, so he gave an extra ten yuan as a gift.
There is plenty of time for the wedding of Old Qi's son Qi Changxiao, and he can also prepare some gifts.
After he finished writing the reply, he hurried to make arrangements.
When I went out, I happened to see Yao Jingjing and Duan Cheng talking at the gate of the compound.
Duan Cheng is 1.78 meters tall, gentle and fair-skinned, with a bookish air. He wears glasses and is obsessed with books and learning. He is a well-known nerd.
I didn't expect that this honest man would get together with Jingjing, an uneducated and unlearned person, without any provocation.
Yao Jingzong felt embarrassed.
Ren's father is his colleague, although they are at the same level, but Ren's mother is the leader of the art troupe, his grandparents are from Beijing, and his grandparents are both famous scholars.
His family background is even better than his.
Yao Jingzong suspected that his daughter wanted to marry into a rich family, so she abandoned Qin Yichen.
In fact, Duan Cheng’s salary is not as high as Qin Yicheng’s!
After all, a university lecturer after being converted to a regular employee is equivalent to a level 13 higher education worker, earning 52.5 yuan a month, while a level 8 worker earns 99 yuan a month!
Not to mention the differences in various material tickets and housing benefits.
I really don't know what this stupid thing is thinking.
So stupid!
However, Duan Cheng was the son of Political Commissar Duan after all, and Yao Jingzong couldn't break up the couple.
So when Duan Cheng greeted him, he still smiled politely.
After sending the letter, he went to the army and had a very short lunch break.
After dinner, he called Yao Weiguo over and said, "Weiguo, here are 500 yuan and some bills. Take them. Take a day off tomorrow and go to the largest state-owned department store in the provincial capital to pick out some of the best clothes and shoes. I'll have Yicheng bring them to Old Qi's son."
"Dad, you don't need so much, right?" Yao Weiguo was a little surprised. His dad was usually stingy, so why was he so generous today?
Yao Jingzong sighed, "I'm afraid this isn't enough! Take it. They're an orphan and a widow, and it's really not easy. I sent them money before, but they refused to take it. Now that their son is getting married, I'll do my best to show my appreciation. It would be even better if you could go. Yicheng is just a godson after all."
"Dad, I'm sorry, it's too far. I really can't take such a long leave." Yao Weiguo felt a little ashamed. He worked as an accountant in a local state-owned shopping mall and was very busy.
His wife Cui Wen works as a designer in a machinery factory and has children to take care of, so she is really too busy to handle everything.
Yao Jingzong did not blame him, but felt a little regretful.
He urged, "Take it. You've already spent it, don't leave anything behind. Remember, buy the same number of sets for young men and women. Also buy two sets for middle-aged women."
"Dad, you're putting me in a difficult position. I don't know how to pick out women's clothes." Yao Weiguo felt a headache. Even his own clothes were bought by Cui Wen. He couldn't help but mutter, "Besides, do you know their sizes? Don't buy blindly. In the end, you won't be able to wear anything."
Yao Jingzong was silent. Yes, this is a big problem.
He remembered that Lao Qin had a brother who lived in the same city as Tang Fengyuan, so he quickly went to call him.
He quickly returned to the living room and said, "Okay, I'll buy it next week. I'll ask someone to find out."
Yao Weiguo still had a headache. What should he do with women's clothing?
He simply looked at his mother and said, "Mom, please come with me! I really don't know how to pick out clothes. I'll just follow you and be responsible for carrying the bags, okay?"
Xie Chunxing didn't say anything.
I feel depressed.
Old Yao is really generous! He spent 500 yuan at once, and those tickets are all valid nationwide, much more valuable than provincial and local tickets.
You don’t know how expensive food and fuel are until you manage the household!
She felt so upset that she didn't want to talk.
When her eldest son asked her, her tears immediately flowed: "I don't want to go. You and Wenwen didn't even get this kind of treatment when you married! Your dad is such a idiot, let him buy it himself!"
Yao Jingjing, standing by, couldn't hold it in any longer and interrupted angrily, "That's right! Dad, you're too generous. Why are you giving them so much? Don't they have arms and legs? Do they still need you to support them? And I'm not even married yet! Aren't you going to leave me some dowry? Besides, my second sister's in-laws are unreliable, and my third brother is working in the countryside. If you have time to be a living Buddha, why not give the money to them?"
"Asshole! Do you have the right to speak?" Yao Jingzong was annoyed. He slammed his big, strong hands on the table. Yao Jingjing was so scared that she shrank her neck and quickly hid in Xie Chunxing's arms and cried.
Here it comes again! Yao Weiguo couldn't help but frown. There is really something wrong with this sister.
He and his second sister are both straightforward. His second sister fell in love freely and chose her own man. She never blamed anyone when she was wronged in her husband's family. Instead, she gritted her teeth and worked hard to change her man so that she could live a better life. She didn't even want the money her father gave her. She was very strong-willed and only wanted to rely on herself.
As for the third brother, he surpassed all of them. He was talented and caring towards his brothers and sisters.
The whole family loves him.
He had already been admitted to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and did not need to go to the countryside to work.
Yao Jingjing is the only one left at home. She failed to graduate from medical school and has no job. It is reasonable and logical that Yao Jingjing should go.
As a result, when Yao Jingjing started crying, her third brother, who loved his sister very much, immediately took the initiative to find the Youth League Office. He went!
He doesn't even read books anymore.
Fortunately, my third brother met a noble person in the place where he was sent to work in the countryside, and he lived a good life.
But even so, seeing Yao Jingjing's pretentious look, he felt really disgusted!
It’s not her turn to tell how the family’s money is spent!
He was so angry that he grabbed Yao Jingjing's collar and threw her out.
Yao Jingjing didn't expect her elder brother to be so excessive. She turned around, stomped her feet, and ran to Duan Cheng's house crying.
Yao Weiguo had a dark face and was too lazy to chase after her. After sitting down and hesitating for a long time, he boldly expressed his thoughts: "Dad, Mom, I think Jingjing may not be your daughter."
What?
The old couple looked at him in shock.
He didn't blame his father for being careless. After all, his father was too busy to take care of an entire division.
It’s not my mother’s fault that she is confused. After all, she has a kind heart. No matter who it is, as long as they shed a few tears for her, she will treat them gently.
But he blamed himself for realizing it too late and only thinking in this direction after Cui Wen reminded him.
Maybe it's because the light is dark. After all, he and Yao Jingjing are eleven years apart and have basically nothing in common.
She is the youngest in the family, so it is understandable that she is spoiled.
But what if I don't make excuses for Yao Jingjing? Of the four children, she's the most outrageous!
Taking a deep breath, he met his parents' surprised gazes. "Don't look at me like that. I'm serious. Jingjing has gone too far. She's two-timing and has no sense of shame. I don't believe my parents would give birth to a daughter like this! Now she's insulting Uncle Qi's family again. I absolutely cannot tolerate this. There must be something wrong with her. Give me some time, I'll investigate thoroughly!"
Yao Jingzong lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought.
Xie Chunxing cried and wiped her tears: "Weiguo, why do you think so? Jingjing is still young, and it's her mother who spoiled her. If she knew that you suspected that she was not your biological sister, she would be so sad."
"Mom, think about it carefully. Can you and my dad let your brother not go to college and go to the countryside to work in the fields instead of you?" Yao Weiguo became more and more determined.
There is no such shameless person in their Yao family!
Yao Jingzong frowned, lit a cigarette and remained silent.
To be honest, Jingjing is a bit rebellious and her personality is very artificial, but she still looks somewhat similar to her mother.
So Yao Jingzong never thought about it in this way.
Now that his eldest son said this, he became somewhat skeptical.
But this is no joke. If Jingjing is really not their daughter, then where is their real daughter?
Who, when, and where did they secretly give him a fake daughter?
Yao Jingzong fell into a long silence.
After smoking five or six cigarettes, he finally warned, "Don't tell anyone. Go check her blood type tomorrow."
