"Mom thinks everything is good." Although Ying's mother said this, she still touched the one with the largest screen and asked, "How about this one?"
“This is good.”
Ying's mother and the person on the other side said in unison, each of them touching a corner of the TV.
Because of coincidence, everyone looked over subconsciously.
What Ying Han saw was not the woman touching the TV, but the familiar shadow behind them.
Just as they were about to say hello with a smile, they saw a salesperson coming over and blocking their view.
"Hello, comrade. This 14-inch TV set was sold out right after it arrived. Now there's only one left."
"Comrade, how much is this one?"
"800 exactly."
"Oh, the price is not low." Mother Deng exclaimed, feeling very distressed.
"Comrade, can the price be lower? We want this one." Ying's mother negotiated with the salesperson with a smile.
"We don't bargain in our mall, as you know from your frequent visits. This TV usually sells for over 800 yuan, but it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, so our director and the factory had a long discussion before we got a promotional price for everyone. This model sold out in less than a week after it arrived, and now this is the only one left. Don't worry, it's sure to be snatched up soon."
When Mrs. Deng heard this, she quickly turned around and asked her son and daughter-in-law, "What do you think of this one?"
"Not bad." said Mr. Deng.
"Comrade, this is the TV we watched first." Ying's mother said to Deng's mother opposite.
Mother Deng was stunned when she heard this and said, "It was obviously us who bumped into him first." Then she gestured to Father Deng, his son and daughter-in-law behind her, asking them to help speak.
Father Deng didn't say anything, but smiled at Father Ying and said, "Chief Ying, long time no see."
"Minister Deng, what a coincidence."
"That's right. Why are you... here to buy a TV too?" Dad Deng walked forward and shook hands with Dad Ying with a smile.
"Yes, the children at home all have jobs and earn money. They want to be filial to us, so they dragged us to buy a TV."
The two fathers responded with a smile and introduced the children of the family to each other.
Ying Han smiled at Deng Chen, and Deng Chen raised one corner of his lips and nodded slightly.
"My son is an ordnance worker, and my daughter just graduated and now works at the Urban Construction Bureau. Xiaoli, Hanhan, come and call Uncle Deng."
"Hello, Uncle Deng."
"Hey, hello."
"Hello, Uncle Ying."
"Captain Ying." Deng Chen saluted Ying's father in military posture.
"That's Xiaochen, right? I haven't seen him in seven or eight years. He's grown so tall. Minister Deng, your two sons are just like you, they're handsome. The eldest and the second son must be over 1.8 meters tall, with straight figures, they're a delight to look at."
"Captain Ying, please stop praising us. We are all rough men. Your two children are both handsome and promising. Our Xiaoqing has been working for four years and has only just become a team leader. My second son was in the army a few years ago. Oh, don't even mention it. One of his arms is useless. He is a grown man, but he is not as good as your daughter. He just works in the district construction."
(I'd like to point out that parents are always so modest when introducing their own children, haha!)
"Minister Deng, you said your second son was injured?" It is said that when Deng Chen was serving in the army, he also went to find Ying's father.
However, something happened to the Ying family later, and Deng Chen was transferred out of the A City Military Region.
After returning, Mr. Ying was busy with his own affairs and had no idea that Deng Chen had gotten into trouble.
"I was seriously injured during a mission and my arm couldn't be healed. After I was discharged, I went to school for two years and was assigned to the district construction team, which is under the management of your daughter's unit."
"Well done, Xiaochen. You are an excellent person. You sacrificed for everyone. You are a true hero. Uncle Ying admires people like this the most."
"Thank you, Uncle Ying." Deng Chen nodded modestly.
Ying's mother noticed something was wrong. "One of your arms can't move. Your last name is Deng. Could it be that Aunt Li introduced you to me..."
Ying's mother stopped talking halfway when she felt something was wrong.
"Isn't Aunt Li the one who introduced Xiaochen to a girl? The news that she got the wrong girl has spread like wildfire in your compound?" Mother Deng frowned.
Lao Deng spent a large sum of money on the betrothal gift to find a partner for the second daughter. She was originally against it, but in the end, there was a misunderstanding when introducing the partner, and she came to their house to explain for a long time.
Although she disliked Deng Chen and was fussy about the division of the family property, she bullied the father and son at home because they owed her that.
They have to bear the consequences of their anger.
But if it is an outsider, it would be unacceptable if they neglect their family.
Although Deng Chen is an illegitimate child, everyone in their government agency knows it very well. Even if he is not popular, he represents their Deng family.
Aunt Li took over their business but didn't do her job with all her heart. They paid so much betrothal gift just to find a well-dressed girl, but the one they met was an ugly girl with a red face. If they wanted to find an ugly one, would they have spent so much money on betrothal gift?
She heard that the other two people who had misjudged each other actually fell in love with each other.
"This...is your second son?" Father Ying asked Father Deng in surprise.
"That's right. One arm is broken. It's not easy to find a better one. It's really worrying for us."
"What's wrong with a broken arm? Even with a broken arm, he's still a hundred times stronger than some people. Since he's your son, that's easy to say..."
"Comrade, I want this TV. Please help me install it."
While the two families were chatting, a slightly plump comrade ran over hurriedly, his face slightly red, and he hugged the TV while panting, and excitedly handed a stack of money to the salesperson.
