My 1999

The Jiang family's yard is not big. After pushing open the half-person-high wrought iron gate and entering, the yard, which is about 100 square feet in size, is clearly divided.

On the left are flowers and plants, on the right are two racks of cucumbers and two racks of tomatoes.

They are all covered with film sheds and grow vigorously under the winter sunshine.

Seeing their surprised looks, Jiang Xiaoyang smiled.

"My grandfather was from the countryside before he joined the army. He liked to serve the crops in the fields. When he was young, he had no chance to work. When he got older, he made some in his own yard.

These flowers and plants were raised by my grandma. "

"That's good. It saves us from quarreling." Lao Xu saw the truth at a glance.

"Say less."

Wang Lingxiang was afraid that he would say the wrong thing.

Just then, the door opened.

Jiang Weiguo, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, and Liu Jihong, who was obviously specially dressed, came out to greet them.

There was a group of people behind them.

From the way they dress, you can tell that they are either rich or noble.

"Brother Xu, my brothers and sisters, wish you a happy New Year."

Jiang Weiguo said enthusiastically.

"Brother, sister-in-law, happy New Year."

Xu Liang and Jiang Xiaoyang have known each other for such a long time, and the parents of the two families have already asked who is older and who is younger.

Looking at this family that is either rich or noble, Xu Yongpei tried his best to behave normally, but the imprint of being at the bottom for decades was too deep, and he was inevitably a little timid when he got here.

In comparison, Wang Lingxiang is much better.

Facing Liu Jihong, not only with ease, but at least with grace.

As for Xu Liang, he has been among countless powerful people in the United Kingdom, the United States, South Korea, and Japan. Now this kind of family banquet is just a small occasion.

Under Jiang Xiaoyang's introduction, Xu Liang smiled and called his second uncle, third uncle, aunt, and sister-in-law in a gentle yet polite manner.

Entered the room.

Waiting in the living room, the old man who was wearing simple clothes but sitting upright, and who was over sixty years old but still looked like a soldier, also stood up.

Next to him, an old woman with white hair, wearing a decent cheongsam, and a gentle and ladylike temperament smiled.

"happy New Year."

Xu Yongpei and Wang Lingxiang walked over quickly.

"Uncle, auntie, happy New Year."

"Grandpa, grandma, happy New Year."

Xu Liang and Xu Meng also followed suit.

The old man glanced over the four of them with a smile on his face, and stopped for a moment on Xu Liang.

"It's fate to be together. Come and sit down."

After agreeing, the couple sat down on the sofa next to them.

Xu Liang took his sister and sat on the bench next to him.

The Jiang family also sat down on the sofas and stools next to them according to their age and status.

Soon, the servant at home brought tea and peanuts and melon seeds.

"Xiao Xu is from Qilu?" the old man asked.

Xu Yongpei is almost fifty, but in front of others, he is indeed Xiao Xu.

"I'm from Yidu, Qilu. From your old accent, are you also from Qilu?"

"Haha, I'm from Linyi, my hometown. When I was a child, I grew up eating hundreds of meals. After I joined the army, fewer and fewer went back. By the way, when I went on a mission thirty years ago, I lived in Yidu. For a while, peaches were really delicious, and I still remember the word 'longevity' on Yunmen Mountain."

"We only have two good things in Yidu, Qingzhou peaches and Mihe silver melons, both of which are tributes. It's a pity that the factories opened in the past two years have damaged the soil and water, and they are not as delicious as before."

With the old man picking up the topic, Xu Yongpei felt less nervous.

Just talk about it, but don't know the importance.

"Sigh, the environment has indeed changed a lot in the past two years."

The old man didn't want to talk more, so he asked instead.

"Xiao Xu, do you still have land at home?"

"Yes, why not? But it smells so bad..."

When 'boy' came to his lips, Xu Yongpei stopped suddenly, guarding so many people to save face for his son.

"After my son was brought to the capital, he leased out all the family land." Xu Yongpei continued.

Glancing at Xu Liang, the old man smiled.

"You have given birth to a wonderful son."

Although he has retired, he is not blind to what is happening outside the window.

Especially when it comes to his beloved eldest granddaughter, the old man even called someone to find out more about the situation.

After knowing what Xu Liang was playing behind his back, the old man was still very angry.

But after seeing the other party's business operations, especially a series of strong financial performance, he didn't say anything more.

At his current age, he has long since learned to compromise for interests.

"You're flattering me. He was just a blind cat who met a dead mouse. He was the blessing of the country's development, otherwise he wouldn't be here now." Lao Xu was habitually modest.

Xu Liangliang, who was sitting aside, rolled his eyes. His career was not just in China.

Even China's career is not even a fifth of his entire career.

"Young people should be encouraged more, and don't be too harsh."

"Yes, I will definitely listen to your advice."

As he spoke, Lao Xu completely let go.

He is not a dull person on weekdays.

Under the guidance of the old man's topic, the two of them chatted more and more happily. They talked about the geography of Yidu, the food and beautiful scenery, and the food and beautiful scenery to important places.

We talked about fertilizer seeds again.

Judging from the old man's cheerful look, it was obvious that no one told him this at home on weekdays.

It's normal when you think about it. My wife likes to grow flowers, my sons and daughters are all in high positions and busy with work, and the third-generation grandchildren are all well-dressed and well-fed. Do you expect them to be important in the land?

"Come on, Xiao Xu, please help me take a look. My two racks of cucumbers always have yellow leaves."

"You must have used too much fertilizer when fertilizing, burning the leaves."

While speaking, he also stood up with the old man.

The two of them put their arms around each other and prepared to leave.

Next to him, Wang Lingxiang winked at Lao Xu, telling him not to forget what he was here for today.

But after Lao Xu had a good chat, he didn't look at it at all.

"You damn old man, I'm just a guest. How can I go to the fields when a guest comes?" The old lady quickly spoke to dissuade her.

"What kind of guest are you? From now on, Xiao Xu and his family will be relatives. If you are polite, you will become a heretic. Isn't it Xiao Xu?"

"Yes, I feel very kind to you when I look at you, uncle... Oops."

Lao Xu, who was stepped on by his wife, subconsciously shouted out.

The young man next to him couldn't help laughing when he saw his embarrassment.

Wang Lingxiang was also a little embarrassed.

This kick also woke up Lao Xu.

He smiled and was about to sit down.

Unexpectedly, the old man who came over grabbed his left wrist.

After all, he was born in the military. Although he is older, his skills are not small at all.

"Ignore them, let's do our thing, let's go."

Without any explanation, he pulled Xu Yongpei and walked outside.

When the old man is stubborn, no one in the Jiang family dares to stop him.

"This damn old man has no idea at all... Xiaolei, just keep an eye on him and make sure nothing goes wrong."

A young man in his early twenties, wearing Adidas, agreed, turned around and ran out.

"Xiao Wang, don't mind me. This old man has a stubborn temper. He likes to grow vegetables on weekdays. It's rare that I can talk to him, so I just ignore him."

Wang Lingxiang said quickly: "Auntie, I have something to do. It's good for your health."

The old lady smiled and nodded: "This old guy is much tougher than me."

After glancing at Xu Liang and Xu Meng next to her, the old lady smiled and continued.

"Xiao Wang, you two have taught us well, and both of your children are very good."

Xu Liang won't mention it. Xu Meng was admitted to Wudaokou Institute of Technology a year in advance, and fellow students in Wudaokou, where many talented students were majoring in economics, management and finance, were able to complete their credits ahead of schedule.

A proper academic among academics.

Wang Lingxiang's face showed pride.

The excellence of her two children is what she is most proud of in her life.

However, the modesty of Chinese people is engraved in their bones.

"His father and I are not highly educated, and we didn't teach them much. The key is that they are willing to learn."

Habitual modesty turned into a large PLA scene.

The old lady has seen so many people in her life that she doesn't think anything of them. And people do have reason to be proud of it.

"Yes. No matter what you do, you are truly capable if you are capable and capable."

"Don't praise them all the time, otherwise your tail will be raised to the sky."

The old lady smiled and said, "I think these two children are not ignorant of their importance, especially Xu Liang. He has created a great career in the shopping mall at a young age, which makes me and that damn old man admire each other very much. "

"Grandma, you're flattered."

Xu Liang smiled and said politely, then said no more.

"My child, you are a capable person, and grandma likes you very much."

After finishing his words, he glanced at Jiang Xiaoyang next to him who was wearing a light pink pullover, black trousers, and long hair shawl.

"I heard Xiaoyang say that you two met as early as four years ago?"

Xu Liang nodded and smiled: "Just after the new year of the year 2000, I took advantage of the winter vacation to start a business in the capital, and I happened to meet her who was interning at the CITIC Dongcheng District Business Office, and we got to know each other that way.

Doing the math now, it’s exactly four years. "

"Four years is not a short time, it is enough for people to get to know each other. So, what do you think of Xiaoyang?"

"Sister Xiaoyang is beautiful and has a master's degree from the Ivy League. She has a gentle and polite personality. I like her very much."

Under the gaze of everyone, Xu Liang talked without any trace of nervousness on his face.

On the contrary, Jiang Xiaoyang looked a little shy.

"Haha, that's good."

The old lady turned her head.

"Xiao Wang, how about we become in-laws?"

"That's the blessing of our old Xu family." Wang Lingxiang said with a smile.

"So you agreed?"

"Yes, why don't you agree? I also like this child Xiaoyang very much. She is a first-rate good girl in both appearance and knowledge. It's hard to find even a lantern. How could I not be willing?"

She was just afraid that we, a small family from a small family, would wrong her. "

The old lady smiled and said: "There is no such thing as grievance. I remember when her grandfather and I got married, the house we lived in was leaky and there was no stove in the winter. Isn't it different now?"

Besides, Xu Liang is now the most famous young entrepreneur in China and is also famous internationally.

Which family wouldn't rush for such a good son-in-law?

And compared to these, feelings are the most important.

It’s not easy for the two of them to have known each other for four years now. As elders, of course we have to make it happen. "
