"No, Dad, this is the neighbor in our yard who lent us money to buy a car. Qiancheng goes to work every day and comes to the train station to do some work at night. It's all because I don't have a job that's holding him back. By the way, Mom and Dad, his name is Qiancheng." Jiang Fen quickly spoke up for the man.
The future is bright and handsome, and he smiled and said, "You take good care of me at home, and it's also very hard work."
Father Jiang was quite satisfied. He thought the young man was capable and it was good enough for him to have a job to live on. He could also make money after work, which was very good.
What satisfied Jiang's mother was that Qian Cheng affirmed the girl's care for the family. She had been with the man for dozens of years and had never heard such words. Judging from these words, this boy really loved his wife.
"Mom and Dad, let's have dinner." Qiancheng asked the three people to get in the car.
"Just go home and have a bite to eat. Food outside is so expensive. It's not easy for you to make money, and there is still famine." Jiang Fen's mother didn't want to trouble the young couple.
"Mom, we are rich. We can earn more than we can spend in the future, and we can pay back the borrowed money quickly. You come all the way here to try what Beijing food tastes like." Jiang Fen said proudly. Her man is very capable.
"You haven't spent it all? Just watch you brag." Jiang's mother scolded with a smile. Her worries of the past two days disappeared. Seeing that her daughter had grown taller and fatter, she must be living a comfortable life.
Qi Qiancheng took the Jiang family of three to eat mutton soup and steamed buns. Jiang Fen was a child from the countryside and was very good at managing her daily life. Except when Qi Qiancheng was making a fuss and it was too late and she couldn't get up, Qi Qiancheng would buy some fried dough sticks and soy milk and the like, she cooked at home and tried to buy cheap groceries. Once a week, the couple would improve their meals by making dumplings and the like.
When parents come from afar, the young couple always take them to eat something delicious.
"What a waste, how much money does this cost?" Jiang's mother felt sorry for the money, as they were used to being frugal.
"I'm taking you to eat, so just enjoy it. Why are you nagging?" The son-in-law respected them and valued them. Father Jiang was still very satisfied.
They arrived early, and there were not many people in the restaurant. During the meal, Jiang's mother greeted them as usual, "Qiancheng, are your parents doing well?"
Qiancheng was choked by steamed buns. Will it be okay for him to stay in there?
"Our family's situation is a bit special. My parents are in prison..." Qi Qiancheng recounted the situation of his family.
Jiang's father and mother looked unhappy. Both of their parents were prisoners in labor camps. How could a good girl like them marry into such a family?
Jiang Fen quickly said, "Mom and Dad, I dislike his family, but he doesn't dislike me because I don't have a job. We don't have much of a future, so reputation doesn't have much of an impact on us."
"A man lives by his face, a tree lives by its bark, reputation is the most important." Father Jiang put down his chopsticks with a snap.
He lowered his head and said nothing. Otherwise, he couldn't play along. There was nothing he could do. If his family's conditions were the same as before...
Jiang's mother quickly pulled the man back and said, "What's the big deal? Can the girl not get married because of this?"
"Reputation can't be used to make a living, and it doesn't matter about your future," Jiang Fen muttered softly. She lived in a large compound, and the neighbors there were all very nice. She didn't feel that anyone looked at them differently. On the contrary, they all took good care of them.
Jiang Fen pinched the girl again and asked her to say less.
The meal was not a very pleasant one. When they came out, Qi Qiancheng looked at his watch and winked at Jiang Fen.
Jiang Fen hugged Jiang's mother's arm and whispered a few words in her ear.
Jiang's mother opened her mouth wide, and Jiang Fen closed her mouth. "Mom, I'll show you around."
Father Jiang looked puzzled.
