Longjing Shrimp

Song Shixia felt that her brother was acting suspiciously, so she left with him out of trust.

Song's mother advised, "We've agreed to go back a few days later. It's hard to go on a long journey. My Shi Xia has spoken."

The relatives looked at each other in bewilderment. They had originally wanted to take advantage of the good luck of being the top scholar, and now they felt a little embarrassed to come and eat and drink for free.

"Sister, why don't we go to the grocery store and buy some rice and cook our own meals? We can just walk anywhere and save as much money as possible."

Song's mother replied hesitantly.

"Okay, let's cook our own meals. We have a stove and a furnace here anyway."

Song Shixia followed her brother into the car.

"Brother, what are you in such a hurry about?"

Song Qiusheng's tone was sour.

"Someone has come all the way to see you. You are so proud now."

Song Shixia didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Stop teasing me. Who is here? A relative of ours?"

On second thought, it doesn’t seem like that. If it was a relative, he would definitely notify his parents first.

Song Qiusheng stepped on the accelerator, his tone was sad.

"Yao Xue's father came to see you. He personally came to the capital to give you a car. I couldn't even dream of receiving such treatment."

Song Shixia was surprised and asked, "Is this true? How can I be so proud?"

Song Qiu Sheng said in a cold tone: "I also want to know why you are so proud. Remember to say a few good words for your brother in front of Uncle Yao."

Song Shixia patted his chest and promised,

"No problem. Whether you can go to their house and eat at the table during the New Year depends on me."

Song Qiu Sheng was envious and jealous. It would be great if he had a sister who was as popular. He would marry her first without saying anything else.

Yao Xue carefully massaged her father's shoulders and observed his expression. She and Song Qiu Sheng were usually polite and sometimes they could not help hugging and kissing each other. Today, they finally had a chance to be alone and kissed passionately on the sofa, but suddenly they were caught by their father.

"How far have you progressed?"

Yao Xue smiled flatteringly and said, "As for the step you saw, nothing else has happened yet."

Father Yao frowned.

"Is he not capable?" He worried about his daughter all day long.

Yao Xue was unhappy.

"What are you talking about? He is respecting my personal wishes. If I don't agree, can he force me?"

In fact, it was Song Qiusheng who disagreed and insisted on staying until the wedding night. She was quite willing to do so. This was the culture in foreign countries, only the mainland was conservative and feudal.

Father Yao snorted coldly.

"I think she doesn't agree. Rural people value a girl's reputation. If you want to marry her formally, you can't create a scandal that has already been done."

Yao Xue hugged her father's neck and acted coquettishly.

"Daddy, you know the answer but you still ask."

Father Yao turned his head away.

"Don't act like a spoiled brat. I know seeing you is different from seeing you. You two are so annoying even before you get married. I don't want to suddenly become a grandfather one day."

Yao Xue stomped her feet and stood up.

"I can't help you if you say that. Old man, do you still want your daughter to get married?"

Yao's father naturally thought so. Song Qiu Sheng's sister was so good at brewing wine, and her tea frying and tea cakes were unique. Song Qiu Sheng was a young man with potential.

But he couldn't give a good face, he had to hold the right to speak in his own hands, the precious girl he raised couldn't be married off casually.

"Your house is a bit small, like our storage room."

Yao Xue understood what her father meant, and she deliberately agreed with him.

"Yes, the total area of ​​200 square meters is not even half the size of our yard. I am just living here temporarily. Qiu Sheng bought me a courtyard house which is being renovated. It is a little smaller than ours. It is said to be the residence of a second-rank minister in ancient times. He just paid off the loan for the house two months ago."

Yao's father couldn't help but scold his daughter.

"Why are you so moved that you need a loan to buy a courtyard house? This is what he should do for you, and he has to live in the house too. If such a small thing moves you so much, is there no way I can buy it for you?"

Yao Xue was mad at her father.

"Okay, whatever you say makes sense, then go buy ten sets! Just put them in my name and I'll keep them there for you to see."

Father Yao didn't care. "How much is a courtyard house worth? It's just ten. Wait."

When Song Shixia and her brother came over, her sister-in-law and Uncle Yao seemed to be at odds with each other. One was sitting on the sofa and the other was sitting in the restaurant.

Yao Xue forced a smile when she saw Song Shixia.

"Sister is here, this is my dad, you can just call him uncle."

Father Yao was struck by Song Shixia the first time he saw her. He thought he would see a simple country girl, wearing a flowered shirt and black pants, with two braids, dark skin, and a big white smile. This was his inherent impression of country girls.

The girl in front of him didn't look like a daughter that the villagers could raise. She had fair skin, was tall, had bright eyes and white teeth, and had a bookish air about her, with the temperament of a quiet female teacher.

After he came back to his senses, he laughed dryly twice.

"This... this is Comrade Xiao Song."

Yao Xue said unhappily, "Why are you being so distant with me?"

Yao's father replied awkwardly, "I'm just afraid that my enthusiasm might scare the little girl. You always say that my smile is scary."

Song Shixia secretly observed his brother's future father-in-law. To be honest, the aesthetics of the rich people at that time were similar to those of the coal bosses in the future. They wore gold and jade on their fingers, gold chains around their necks, and dark red Zhongshan suits. None of their ten fingers were idle, and they had at least ten bodyguards when they went out.

Alas, she suddenly started to worry about her brother. Her brother's savings were insignificant in front of others and had no competitiveness at all.

"Little niece, you call me uncle. I am older than you. Your car has arrived. Do you want to try it out for yourself?"

"Let's try it. I just got my driver's license."

There was a milky white Bug car in the garage. She recognized the Volkswagen Bug. This brand would be discontinued in thirty years. Now only three factories were producing it. The rest of the production lines were producing the improved Volkswagen Golf.

Yao's father explained, "This car doesn't go very fast. The key is that it's cheap and durable. Cement roads aren't available in your village yet. If the car is too expensive and gets scratched, you'll be sad. In foreign countries, anyone with a little money will buy this car. Don't be fooled by its small appearance. It's no different from a normal car."

Song Shixia is quite satisfied with this car model, especially the color which is also very nice.

She touched the car body lovingly and said, "This must have been modified."

"My little niece has a sharp eye. It was originally black, but I think it looks more like a beetle. Little girls like pink and tender colors, so I asked someone to help spray it with a new color. I'm sure you like it."

Song Shixia nodded heavily.

"This color is so beautiful, the elegant and noble milky white looks very expensive. I'll go up and try the car out first."

Song Shixia tested the speed of the car. The highest gear was the driving speed of a normal car, which was not a disadvantage for her as she was not driving on the highway.

Song Qiu Sheng was jealous on the side. If Uncle Yao could talk to him like this, he would wake up laughing in his dreams at night.

Unfortunately, he felt guilty and was caught kissing his girlfriend on the sofa by his father-in-law.

He took the initiative to approach and asked, "Uncle, would you like some water?"

Father Yao had been thirsty for a long time. His daughter didn't even pour him a sip of hot water when they had an argument, and he had never poured himself water at home.

"I'll drink tea."

Song Qiu Sheng happily ran to pour tea. The fact that his father-in-law was willing to pay attention to him was a big progress. Especially that he was willing to call him, which showed that he had made further progress.

Yao Xue felt a little guilty because she just remembered that her father had been home for such a long time and she still hadn't poured him any water.

Song Shixia drove around and came back.

"The car was great, no problems."

Yao's father said cheerfully, "No problem, we can drive back anytime. Congratulations on getting into college. Your uncle has prepared a gift for you."

Song Shixia was overwhelmed by the favor.

"Thank you, uncle. You came all the way here and gave me a gift. I am so lucky."

Father Yao smiled and waved his hands.

"It's just a small gift, not worth mentioning. I came here to check Yao Xue's business. I came to her company to check the accounts. If you want to thank me, I heard that you are a good cook. I wonder if you can taste it yourself."

"Of course, I'll ask my brother to go buy some groceries and I'll cook for you. You'll have to take a look at my cooking skills. I've just come up with a dish of Longjing shrimp at home."

As expected, when it comes to tea, Yao's father can't sit still and relaxes his attitude towards Song Qiu Sheng out of love for him.

"Qiu Sheng, go buy groceries in a car and bring a bodyguard with you, otherwise you won't be able to carry them."

Song Qiusheng was stunned. Why was Uncle Yao suddenly so kind to him?!

Song Shixia tried hard to wink at her brother, and Song Qiu Sheng immediately understood.

"Okay uncle, you guys chat, I'll be back after I buy some groceries."

Song Shixia went out and told her brother to go to the winery to get some wine, and asked Liu Zhaodi for cherry wine.

"Will cherry wine lose its alcoholic taste?"

Song Shixia was helpless, "Brother, how can you open up to others when you are drunk? Cherry wine will make you slightly drunk, so you will be rational and you won't make a fool of yourself when you wake up."

That's indeed the case. My sister is much more reliable than me.

"Thank you, sister. I love you for what you want. I will buy you whatever you want next time."

Song Shixia was silly and happy,

"Come on, buying me a car will probably drain all your liquid funds. You should work hard to marry Sister Yao Xue first, so that I can eat at my brother's table, okay?"

Song Qiusheng stood at attention and saluted.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission."

Song Shixia returned to the house and saw a cube-shaped wooden box on the table.

Yao Xue frowned at her.

"This is a gift my dad prepared for you. Open it and take a look."

Song Shixia had a bad feeling in her heart. When she opened the box, she found a pair of jade bracelets. Just looking at the quality, she knew they were worth a lot of money.

She instantly felt the gift was hot.

"Uncle, this is too expensive."

Yao Xue covered her lips and smiled.

"It's really expensive to sell, but my family has a gambling business, so it's not worth much. Just take it, sister."

Song Shixia smiled bitterly inwardly. If she hadn't eaten the Imperial Green Jadeite bracelet and accepted such a big favor, her brother's matter would still not have been resolved.

She had a brilliant smile on her face.

"Then I'll take it?"

Father Yao smiled and said, "It was originally made for you. If you don't wear it, I can't give it away."

No wonder Sister Yao Xue always likes to hold her wrist when chatting, it seems like love is measuring size.
