Seeing this, Deputy Director Yuan winked at Jiang Yushan, who understood and asked him to go in first. She walked to Director Shen and said with a smile:

"Mr. Shen, this won't do. I'm tired every day after work, and I have to bring my own key to open the door. When I enter the house, no one serves tea or water, asks about my health, and I have to do everything myself... Oh, let alone our long-time friends, even ordinary neighbors can't stand it. You've also met Yuan Liqin, whom I told you about before. Have you thought about it? You must make up your mind quickly. Liqin is really good and she is interested in you. She is going home temporarily. As long as you say something, I will call her over immediately! When she comes, we will get married, and she will be your wife. Every day, there will be a caring person waiting for you to come home, opening the door for you, and preparing delicious hot meals... How happy is that?"

Director Shen smiled and said, "Comrade Xiao Jiang, getting married is not as simple as you say."

"What's so complicated about that? Back then, it was just like that between me and Lao Yuan. We just moved our bedding into the same room and that was it!"

"Is that so?" Director Shen suddenly looked serious. "I remember one time when your brothers Yuan Mingwei and Yuan Minghua came back, Old Yuan was very happy and invited me to your house for a drink. That night Old Yuan got drunk and scolded them for being unfilial and marrying a wife without their parents' consent. He even scolded Mingwei until he cried. Minghua then said - did your parents agree to Xiao Jiang marry Old Yuan? His grandparents didn't allow it at all, and their mother had just passed away less than three months ago..."

Jiang Yushan's face turned pale and her lips trembled. After staring at Director Shen for a few seconds, she suddenly turned around and ran back to her home as if escaping.

Director Shen chuckled: Are you angry? If you are angry, then I won't come to match him again. He doesn't care. If others are willing to talk about it tirelessly, he will just listen casually. Generally, he doesn't say harsh words to offend people easily. But his son is not happy. After all, he is a young man with a bad temper and he is not willing to endure it. Every time he comes back and sees Jiang Yushan talking to him again, his face is very long.

The son didn't dislike Old Yuan and Jiang Yushan so much before, but ever since he found out that Fangfang's marriage to Tian Zhigao was illegitimate and that they were unwilling to pay compensation, the son has hated them particularly... well, he doesn't like to see Old Yuan's family, and he even said bluntly that he, as a father, is not allowed to get too close to Old Yuan's family.

Hey, the kid is controlling me, but what can he do? His son finally came back to live with him, so of course his son is the most important, and everything else has to be put aside.

Besides, Fangfang and Tian Zhigao are indeed not doing a good thing. Now that things have come to this and Fangfang is pregnant, they certainly cannot be separated. It is not as simple as robbing Peter to pay Paul. But at least they should give the girl some compensation.

Old Yuan also helped to cover up for him and lied to him that he had given him one thousand yuan. If the girl had not been adopted as Meng Zhehan's sister and his son had not known the whole story and told him about it, he would not have known about it.

He was really disappointed. He always thought that Lao Yuan was a good person, but he didn't expect that...

And that Tian Zhigao, it seems like he is really not up to the task, his character is too bad, but the people still have high hopes for him. If it weren't for the fact that Tian Zhigao had participated in the factory's technological reform research and knew some data and methods, he would definitely be fired with a resolute mind.

Shen Heping opened the door and went in, then turned around to close the iron gate. He rarely closed the door before, whether he was at home or not, because he thought it was troublesome and he had to run out to open it when someone came. That is, his son came back to live with him, and it was obvious that he did not welcome the neighbors, Old Yuan's family, to visit at any time. After repeatedly reminding him to remember to close the iron gate when entering and leaving, he took it seriously and slowly got used to it.

After walking through the small courtyard and entering the house, he saw his son Shen Yu coming out of the kitchen wearing home clothes and an apron. He asked hurriedly, "What did you do?"

Shen Yu was speechless. He was so nervous just entering the kitchen. Was he afraid that he would tear down the kitchen? "I'm cooking some rice in the hot pot. I also have some mushrooms and dried cabbage. I'm soaking them all."

"Okay, okay. I'll do the rest. You go upstairs and read. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

Shen Heping said that it was not that he didn't want his son to learn how to cook, but he felt that his son probably didn't have the talent for it. He had cooked two meals for him, and if it weren't for the special ingredients that tasted naturally good, they would probably be inedible. It would be better for him to cook it himself.

Shen Yu obediently took off his apron. He knew that his father would call Master Jiang to cook because there was no meat at home, so Master Jiang would bring some meat from the cafeteria.

Shen Heping came out after washing his hands and saw Shen Yu sitting on the sofa drinking water. There was a covered porcelain cup on the coffee table, which was tea leaves prepared for him. Shen Heping walked over and sat down, picked up the cup, opened the lid and blew on it, took a sip, sighed comfortably, and asked with a smile: "Son, how is your girlfriend doing? Did she reply to your letter when you sent her something? Is she satisfied?"

Shen Yu thought of his father's suggestion that he buy cosmetics and send them to Taohua. When he met that girl in Yicheng, her little face was painted, he couldn't help but smile: "She should be satisfied."

"Dad, we're dating, and you're asking this?"

"What's wrong with asking? You have no experience, so dad can give you some advice."

"Need not."

"Then you can invite her to visit the provincial capital, come to our house, and tell her that dad will like her very much and will treat her like his own daughter."

"Will you really love her like your own daughter?"

"Of course, she is my daughter-in-law and the mother of my future grandson. I don't have a daughter, so what's wrong with her being my own daughter?"

"My partner... I mean, my partner is very good, but maybe he is a little different from what you imagined?"

"That doesn't matter. My son has good taste. As long as you like it, it's fine!"

"You don't have the idea of ​​marrying someone of equal status, do you?"

"What do you mean by being well-matched? There isn't any!"

"What if she's a country girl?"

"Farmer... rural area? Well, what's wrong with the rural area? We, the working class, still have to learn from the peasant elder brothers. It doesn't matter!"

Shen Yu looked at Shen Heping: "Will you promise not to break us up?"

Shen Heping glared at his son and said, "Do you think your father is an old feudalist? You and the girl love each other, and your father is so happy!"

Of course he knew that his son was testing him. His son had his own ideas since he was young and would not be influenced by others. Once he made up his mind, not only his father, but also the people of the Xu family in Beijing could not do anything to him. Even if his son's partner was not to his liking, he would definitely not be able to break up. Now he chose to believe in his son. His son's vision would not be wrong! Shen Yu smiled: "Well, on behalf of my partner, we both thank you first, Dad!"

"What are you thanking me for? I have already prepared the expenses for your wedding. I just hope you can get married soon and give me a good grandson or granddaughter. You are giving me too much worry!"
