When she saw Li Jingjing for the first time, Li's mother wanted to scold her, but was stopped by Li's father.
Father Li smiled and said, "You're back. Come in. It's cold outside." He saw a little girl following behind Li Jingjing and asked, "Who is this?"
Li Jingjing said perfunctorily: "A friend."
The reporter smiled at Li's parents and tightened the black backpack on her back. There was a DV camera inside. Li Jingjing had asked her to do this to take the photos, saying that it would allow her to capture her parents' real faces.
They had a good personal relationship, so the reporter did as he was told.
But at the moment, it seems that there is nothing abnormal about Mr. and Mrs. Li.
Father Li winked at Mother Li and said, "The child has brought his friends back. Go get some meat and make dumplings for them."
Mother Li went there reluctantly.
Li Jingjing was also surprised. She felt that her parents' attitude towards her had changed a little after she came back this time.
After entering the house and sitting down, Li Jingjing looked around the house and asked, "Are you two the only ones at home?"
Father Li said, "Yes, your eldest brother and second brother have both been allocated houses and moved out a long time ago. Your third brother has been living in the dormitory of his company since his divorce. Your fourth sister has also found a partner. She helps out in the man's family store during the day and comes back to sleep at night."
"Has Fourth Sister found her match?"
"Yes." Father Li was a little proud when he talked about this. "The man opened a restaurant, which is quite large. All the people who go there to eat are leaders and cadres. He makes a lot of money. Not only did he give 8,000 yuan as a betrothal gift, he also bought your sister a gold necklace and gold earrings."
As he said that, Father Li glanced at Li Jingjing and said, "You are not young anymore, it's time to consider getting married."
Li Jingjing said, "My fourth sister didn't get married until she was over 30. I'm not even 30 yet. Let's talk about it in a few more years."
Father Li suddenly slammed the table and said angrily, "Can you compare with your sister? She was delayed for a few years because of the exam, and then she had to take care of me and your mother, which dragged herself to this age! Otherwise, she would have been married a long time ago, and she could have married even more than today!"
Li Jingjing shrank her neck, looking as if she was frightened by her father. "But... you and my mother are still young and healthy, so why do we need her to take care of us? Last time I heard you complain that my fourth sister was too picky in finding a partner. She wouldn't like anyone with poor conditions, and she wouldn't like anyone with good conditions either."
Father Li choked and slammed the table fiercely, "I'm talking to you, what are you doing with your sister? You came back at the right time. I have two things to tell you. One is your marriage, and the other is how you honor us."
At this time, Li's mother came back and took over the conversation, saying, "Yes, your marriage is in sight. Someone asked a matchmaker to come and propose marriage to you. The man is two years older than you. His family is very well-off. Both his parents run factories. They can earn... a lot of money in a day!"
Father Li nodded. "The matchmaker said that Yige can earn more than 200,000 yuan. More than 200,000 yuan! I have never heard of such a large amount of money. If people hadn't seen that you are a singer, they would never have asked your second aunt to be a matchmaker."
Li Jingjing sneered in her heart, but said weakly: "But, I don't want to get married now. I want to work hard on my career first. Besides, marriage is free, and matchmaking is not allowed nowadays."
"Work hard, what the hell!" Li's father glared. "You don't want to be a bachelor when you're 60? You don't care about anything outside, and let your mom and I be laughed at by the neighbors?! It's not easy to get the conditions, but you have to get married."
Mother Li: "They won't let you down. They said they'll give you 30,000 yuan as a betrothal gift. Then they'll give 10,000 yuan to your fourth sister, and the rest will be kept for us two old folks to live on in our old age."
The reporter looked at Li Jingjing in disbelief.
How could Li's parents have such a narrow vision? Do they know how much money Li Jingjing can make? Li Jingjing's income from advertising alone is much more than that of a small boss who runs a factory.
