Chen Wei had two hundred yuan in his pocket, which was the money for buying a watch, so he said naturally, "Don't worry, Auntie, I have money on me."
After saying that, Granny Chen immediately pulled Chen Ma up, her face full of smiles: "Congratulations to my mother-in-law on finding a good husband. Don't forget to give me the thank you wine as a matchmaker."
Before he could finish his words, the two of them pushed and shoved each other and went out.
Chen Wei mouthed to Meimei: "Come down later." Then he went out to chase his mother.
As for Chen's father, he was not the talkative one either. He nodded to his parents-in-law and walked out with his hands behind his back.
Mother Chen was pulled and dragged by Grandma Chen to a deserted place. Chen Wei, who was fast on foot, also arrived at the scene.
"Mom, Meimei got me this formal job." Chen Wei knew his mother very well. He knew that his mother was about to curse as soon as she opened her mouth, so he quickly covered her mouth.
Mother Chen was speechless. "This... isn't this something you worked hard to get into? You're not being honest, are you lying to me?"
Xiang Meimei's family lives in the steel factory, which is fine. But no matter how long your arms are, they can't reach the match factory!
Without missing a beat, Chen Wei told Mianmian about the note he had sent him. "...It was a rough sketch of a lighter. Our leader saw it and praised its creativity. That's why he gave me a hand and allowed me to skip level 12 and become a regular employee at level 11."
Why did Xiang Mianmian come to deliver the note? It must have been instructed by Xiang Meimei. Although no one knew where the Xiang family got the lighter drawings, her son Chen Wei, who had never been outstanding, suddenly became a formal employee. Chen's mother knew there was something fishy.
I didn’t expect that the culprit was Xiang Meimei!
Mother Chen wasn't stupid either. She immediately asked, "So you moved to the steel mill for the blueprints?"
"Mom, I will definitely be filial to you and Dad. When we move to the steel plant, Meimei and I will discuss the lighter issue. If it works out, our family will have a good life."
Although he didn't understand what big talk meant, Chen Wei was able to skillfully extract the essence of it.
After hearing this, Chen's mother wasn't so angry anymore. After all, since they were living here for their career, it didn't seem that hard to accept. "Then you have to commute back and forth to work every day? It's so hard, and what if they laugh at you?"
"With such a prosperous daughter-in-law, why would you laugh at her?" Father Chen followed out from behind, heard the big promise Chen Wei made, and voiced his support.
Dad Chen has deep feelings for the match factory, but he also knows that the factory's sales are gradually declining. If no way out is found, everyone will starve. But lighters are different. If it succeeds, Chen Wei doesn't have to care about his position at all.
Because the rewards from the factory will shock everyone.
With the support of Chen's father, his son was determined to follow Xiang Meimei. Chen's mother said nothing more and could only agree silently.
Father Chen called Mother Chen and said, "Let's go back and give Auntie a red envelope so that your son and daughter-in-law can get along well with her."
After convincing his parents, Chen Wei was moved and gave his father a look of gratitude, then returned to find Xiang Meimei.
Xiang Meimei had been waiting downstairs for a while. This time, even Zhang Jidi agreed. She happily came out to date Chen Wei: "Auntie, you're not angry, right?"
Even if you are angry, you have to say you are not angry.
Chen Wei, who was quick-witted, changed the subject: "No, how could that be? Let's go to the department store."
Although the two were an engaged couple arranged by their parents, times had changed after all, so they still staggered two or three steps apart and went to the department store together.
Big items like watches and bicycles are usually kept on the top floor. People don't go there easily because they can't afford them, so there are very few people on this floor.
Xiang Meimei and Chen Wei were so young and obviously dressed up, anyone who had seen them knew what was going on. The watch clerk immediately greeted them, "Come and look at watches? Men's or women's?"
The teller was a chatterbox, she was tired of chatting with her colleagues, so she finally caught a customer and tried to make a sales pitch, she said a question but her hand reached for the key to the lady's counter.
As she expected, Chen Wei leaned over the ladies' counter to take a closer look: "I want to buy a better engagement gift for Meimei."
"Wow, you really love your wife. The girl is pretty too. This name can match her looks. Here, take a look at these models." The teller moved quickly and took out three watches.
"This is a Hero brand quartz watch, 120 yuan, this is a Phoenix brand starry sky watch, 155 yuan, and this one is a Patek Philippe purple diamond watch, a bit expensive at 198 yuan."
The teller finished the introduction in one breath and said, "These all require tickets. If you don't have a ticket, you have to buy one."
Their tellers have tickets, so the price is expensive.
Chen Wei put the tickets on the table and handed them to her: "Don't worry, we have tickets. Meimei, take a look and see which one you like. It's all fine."
Not only did he take the 200 yuan given by Chen Ma, he also took his own pocket money. To be on the safe side, he also robbed the piggy banks of his third sister and younger brother.
In terms of appearance, the Phoenix brand's starry sky watch is more beautiful, with a circle of fine diamonds around the dial, but the Patek Philippe's purple diamond strap is made of her favorite calfskin.
Xiang Meimei was in a dilemma.
The teller asked considerately: "Do you have any concerns? You can tell me anything."
Xiang Meimei smiled awkwardly: "I like this starry-eyed dial and the purple diamond leather strap."
She pointed to two watches.
The teller wasn't surprised at all. She stuffed the Hero watch back and said, "Here, lift your wrist."
She put both watches on Xiang Meimei's left hand and found that she had excellent taste: "Wow, it's true that the Patek Philippe leather strap suits you better. It looks really good."
"But I think the dial of the Gypsophila watch looks good." Xiang Meimei hesitated. The purple diamond of Patek Philippe was just inlaid with one diamond, and there was nothing sparkling about it. But the strap of the Gypsophila watch was made of steel, which she hated the most. It would make her hands cold in winter, and sometimes it would pinch her hands if she wasn't paying attention.
