"Okay, stop drinking. The kids are here! You're not behaving yourself!" Zhao Xianglan took his wine glass away.

"So do you think I'm the most handsome old man?" Under the influence of alcohol, Yi Jianshe had completely forgotten about examining his son-in-law. He only remembered that his wife suddenly changed her mind and wanted to sleep in separate rooms.

Yi Qingqing and the others could smell the jealousy!

Section 214

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Xianglan was pestered and had no choice. Especially under the undisguised gazes of her son, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law, her face was burning with panic. "Stop drinking, eat some food, and stop talking nonsense!"

Yi's father was very satisfied and started to eat the food obediently. However, he was drunk and his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't hold anything.

He put the empty chopsticks into his mouth, chewed it seriously, and then praised: "Xianglan, it's delicious, your cooking skills are really good!"

"Haha!" Yi Qingqing couldn't help herself, "Dad looks like a little kid when he's drunk. So cute!"

"This is the first time I know he looks like this when he's drunk," Zhao Xianglan picked up a piece of food for him with her chopsticks and looked at his expression, finding it quite novel.

Not only that, he even forced his son-in-law to drink, hoping to get him drunk and tell the truth!

The son-in-law was fine, but he exposed himself. I really don’t know what to say to him! When he sobers up later, I’m afraid he will want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into!

"You eat some food too!" Yi Qingqing picked up a piece of Yun Guyuan's favorite food with chopsticks and secretly gave him a thumbs up.

He can drink too much. Her father probably won’t dare to compete with him in drinking anymore.

This meal allowed Yi's family to witness another side of Yi's father.

On Yun Guyuan's first night at Yi's house, his father-in-law, who was still drunk and sleeping soundly, was lying next to him. His heart beat a little faster as he listened to the voices coming from the other side of the partition wall.

On the other side of the partition wall, in Yiqingqing's room.

Yi Qingqing and Ms. Zhao Xianglan squeezed into a single bed. She leaned sideways, touching her mother's warm belly from time to time with her hand, and resting her legs on her mother.

"Tell me!" Zhao Xianglan said suddenly, gently patting the back of her daughter's hand.

"???" Yi Qingqing paused, confused: "What do you want to tell me?"

"You and Xiaoyun didn't get together until you went to college, right?" Zhao Xianglan said.

Yi Qingqing: "..."

"If they really got together after entering college, then they must have had a good relationship before that when they were in the countryside. What's going on? Tell me!"

Zhao Xianglan realized it when she first received the letter.

Yi Qingqing was really impressed by Ms. Zhao Xianglan: "Mom, you are really a prophet!"

Fortunately, her mother didn't seem to blame her for not controlling herself in the countryside, so Yi Qingqing decided to have a little talk with her.

Anyway, this thing has already happened, and the result is still good now, and Ms. Zhao Xianglan is quite satisfied with Ayuan.

"That was my first year in the countryside. I noticed that Ayuan was a little special to me. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that I had a good impression of him at that time, so I asked him immediately, and I actually guessed it right, hehe!

But at that time I felt that the college entrance examination would definitely be resumed, and I had been studying hard. And what you said was right, mom. I was alone in the countryside, I was young, and we had just met, so it was not a good time to fall in love. So I told him my thoughts directly, but he said he was willing to wait.

Later, the relationship between us, the educated youth who went to the countryside together, was always very good. I felt his love for me, but what was rare was that while he loved me, he was also able to restrain himself. He never did anything that would make it difficult for me just because he loved me. He put my feelings, reputation and wishes first. Everything was just right.

It is easy to love passionately, but it is difficult to love firmly with restraint.

His appearance, his inner qualities, everything about him, have all grown to the top of my heart. I have done my best to endure until after the college entrance examination before accepting his feelings. "

"Oh, that's really hard for you!" Ms. Zhao Xianglan said, and then sighed: "Alas, the key is that Xiaoyun is really beautiful, it's not your fault!"

"That's right! Mom, I told you I have good taste, right? Hehe!" Yi Qingqing said proudly.

Their Ayuan is simply the perfect boyfriend.

"Yes! He has passed the preliminary test with me.

But there is one thing, you are still in school, and it will take a few years before you get married. There may be variables in the meantime. Girls still have to protect themselves and can't forget everything just because of the person you like. Do you understand?

Do you remember Liu Meili? Although she had bad intentions, the worst thing about her was the man who harmed her.

We are not saying that chastity is of utmost importance to a girl and that if she loses it, she will despise herself. But you have to know that a man who only cares about his own happiness and coaxes you into taking this risk is unreliable.

In relationships between men and women, the secular world is always more critical of girls. These secular views may not be correct, but sometimes, following the secular world will always lead to smoother life. Don't act on impulse and put yourself in danger, understand?"

What Zhao Xianglan said was not ambiguous, and Yi Qingqing understood it. These words were indeed spoken with her in mind.

Girls are indeed more likely to suffer losses in this regard, but Yi Qingqing is afraid that it is difficult for her to suffer this loss: "Mom, don't worry, didn't A Yuan say 'starting from emotion and ending with etiquette'? He won't do anything reckless!"

"He really didn't touch you at all? You two didn't hold hands or anything?"

Zhao Xianglan's tone was full of disbelief.

Although she was satisfied with Xiaoyun, she never took what he said in the letter to heart.

Maybe he meant it when he said that, but no one can tell what will happen next.

Promises are only trustworthy when they are spoken. Which young couple has not made a solemn vow when they were in love? In the end, what happens? I am afraid that only one out of ten will live up to their vows.

"He didn't, I couldn't help but touch him," Yi Qingqing said embarrassedly.

Zhao Xianglan: “???”

"What did you say?"

"Mengxue, Lailai, Lingling and their partners walk on the street with their arms around each other or holding hands, but Ayuan only dares to walk beside me. He smells so good and his hands are so beautiful, so..." Yi Qingqing said cautiously.

"So you took the initiative to hold his hand?" Zhao Xianglan said in an unfriendly tone.

Yi Qingqing uttered an inaudible "hmm".

Zhao Xianglan: “…”

"Ouch!" Zhao Xianglan covered her chest. "I thought you were blind like your brother, and I thought you were cheated by other bad men, and I thought you were taken advantage of by other stinky men, but I never thought that my daughter was quite capable and could take advantage of others!"

Fortunately, my mother was not angry. Yi Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Hey, this is all because of your good teaching!"

Zhao Xianglan was silent, staring at the dark ceiling with lifeless eyes, her voice was like a pool of stagnant water: "Don't blame me for everything, I never taught you to take advantage of boys!"

Although Zhao Xianglan likes good-looking girls, she is not as...ah, I don't know how to describe it.

"I don't know who you took after."

Thinking of that person who was so clingy when they were dating, and who was so happy when he held her hand, she felt that she had found the reason: "You must have taken after your father! Don't look at him as honest. There were so many girls who liked him at the time. I was able to stand out from them not just because of my intelligence, but my pretty face also played a big role."

Yi Qingqing was overjoyed: "Mom, tell me the love story between you and my dad!"

Zhao Xianglan pretended not to hear and continued her own words: "It's fine if you take the initiative to hold his hand, but you can't do anything else, understand? 'Starting from emotion and ending with courtesy', although these words were written by Xiaoyun, I think you still need to remember them more."

"Yes!" Yi Qingqing agreed. After all, for her, the boundaries of "etiquette" are not just holding hands.

To be honest, she has been coveting Comrade Yun for a long time. Not only does she want to hold his hand, she also wants to hug and kiss him! This shouldn't be considered impolite, right?

It would have been fine if she had just taken the initiative to hold hands, but if she did it again and again, she was afraid that Yuan would be scared and people would think she was very hungry!

This image cannot be ruined. For the time being, I haven't thought of any way to achieve my goal without losing face or protecting the girl's modesty, so I dare not go any further.

Although the social atmosphere is still relatively conservative these days, kissing and hugging in private when dating is not considered excessive.

However, Ayuan also said that he was going to pick up his parents to visit the capital this summer, and all the furniture had been taken out in advance and had been cleared with friends, just to pave the way for the future.

According to what Ms. Zhao Xianglan said, could she accept living in the same yard with A Yuan? She had to test it a little.

"Mom, you know Li Mengxue, right?"

"I know. She is the eldest of the four golden flowers. Her family favored boys over girls and wanted to sell her off, but she resolutely ran away to the countryside and found a way to make a living. Now she lives a better life than the one with family support. She is a courageous girl with determination and ideas."

Zhao Xianglan already had a good understanding of Yi Qingqing's sisters from her letters home.

"Yes, it's her. I always felt that she has a good eye for making money. Besides, she studied finance in college. Do you know what finance is? It's the study of how to make money from money." Yi Qingqing said sincerely.

She had thought about these words in advance, and even had already laid the groundwork for Comrade Li Mengxue's ability to make money, so Zhao Xianglan believed it immediately: "There is such a major?"

"Well, she is good at making money to begin with, and after learning this, she's even better. Wasn't the house buying and selling liberalized this year? With that liberalization, she took out the money she had saved in previous years and bought a courtyard house in the capital. She also goes to the Housing Authority every day and plans to buy a house if there is one available. She also strongly recommends that we sisters use our spare money to buy houses if we have any." Yi Qingqing said.

"Why? What's so good about buying this house? As long as you have a job, your company will provide you with a house. Why spend that money? Is there any trick here?"

Because Yi Qingqing created such a good image of Comrade Da Jinhua as a money-making expert, Ms. Zhao Xianglan subconsciously felt that there might be some tricks in it that she had not thought of.

"Mom, look at our house, isn't it a little small? Now that I'm back with Ayuan, you and Dad need to sleep in separate rooms so that we can squeeze in. Later, when Xiaohui and Sisi grow up, there will be no room left."

"Don't worry about that. Your brother and sister-in-law are both regular employees of the factory. They have formed a small family and have already applied for a house from the company. If the house they are allocated is small, they will move out. If the house they are allocated is larger, we can move in together."

"There shouldn't be any vacant houses in our compound! Are there any houses in the factory that can be allocated?"

"There are no vacant houses in the compound. I heard from your father that the factory is also applying to build another building in the back."

Yi Qingqing feels that the chances of successfully adding another building are slim. After a period of time, individual businesses will be legalized, and the performance of these state-owned factories will become worse year by year, and eventually a large number of them will go bankrupt and dissolve.

The iron rice bowl you have now will be gone in the future.

But of course she couldn't say that.

"Mom, it will take time to build an additional building. Do you think it's getting harder and harder to get housing in the factory? It's not just the machinery factory. Is it the same for other factories?"

"That's right. Many young female workers in our textile factory have been married for more than a year, and they usually still squeeze into single dormitories!"

"Mom, although our Nanping County is a relatively wealthy county, it is still far inferior to the Imperial Capital, right? Even our Nanping is like this, what about the Imperial Capital with more people?

If the factory house cannot be built in one, two or three years, and our family has some savings, would you be willing to spend money to buy a bigger house from the Housing Authority for our family to live in together?"

"Of course I am willing to do that," Zhao Xianglan seemed to understand what her daughter meant. "You mean, housing will be tight in the future, and people will run out of houses to live in. If they have money, they will buy a house?"

"Yes, that's what I mean." Yi Qingqing nodded. "Why are we allowed to buy and sell houses now? It's because the allocation of housing is not going well. Many families have housing problems, so this policy was introduced! Now that the policy has just come out, no one has thought about buying a house yet. The house price is very cheap. If you buy now, in a few years, when everyone remembers it and wants to buy, there will be more people and fewer houses. Won't the house price go up? By then, money will make money! Isn't that the reason? Li Mengxue said, this is called 'investment'!"

"That makes sense! My dear sister, you have a really good brain for making money! Our family has saved some money in the past few years, but it's of no use just keeping it, so why not use it to buy a house! I'll go to the Housing Authority after the New Year to have a look. Even if I lose money, I won't be afraid. At least our family can live in a spacious and comfortable house." Zhao Xianglan was not an indecisive person. After she made this point, she made a decision quickly.
