Extra 2: Li Man and Liu Cheng (Eating Soft Rice)
Liu Cheng's parents arrived as scheduled. They got off the train and got off at Shanghai Station. What is the difference between a metropolis and Jinan?
But there are more people, taller buildings, and more rushing shapes.
Liu Cheng parked the car on the side of the road, and Li Man talked endlessly all the way, holding the mirror for a long time to put on makeup.
The conscience of heaven and earth, Liu Cheng didn't realize that Li Man had put on makeup at all, but he still wanted to make up for it and was still thinking about how to face Liu Cheng's parents.
"Hello uncle, aunt. I am Liu Cheng's girlfriend Li Man, who is also from Jinan. She graduated from the Department of Finance at Qingze University with a Ph.D. Now she is a junior researcher at the National Institute of Finance and Development Research Center."
"I am a resident scholar at the International Monetary Organization and a consultant at the World Bank, and are looking for opportunities to stay in school to teach."
"I am the same age as Liu Cheng, and I am 28 years old this year." Li Man greeted him very politely and restrainedly.
The long list of titles made Liu Honghui and Wang Huailan a little confused. They had never been exposed to finance and had no idea what these titles meant.
"Hello." Liu Honghui nodded.
Liu Cheng shook his head, Li Man made himself like a student's introduction, but he was still nervous.
Liu Cheng opened the trunk and put his parents' greetings in. They stayed in Shanghai for two days before going back. They just came to see Liu Cheng's new house, and more importantly, to see Liu Cheng's girlfriend.
The boss is old, it’s time to get married, it’s time to have a baby!
"This is a gift for my uncle and aunt. I don't know what to buy." Li Man took out two small bags. This was a gift she carefully selected. She gave Liu Honghui a pen and Wang Huailan a book.
Liu Cheng’s parents are both teachers. It is not good to give it to you for the first time when we meet, but it is even worse if we don’t give it to you. Li Man is nervous.
"Sako Wancaiti?" Liu Honghui didn't want to open it, but he couldn't wait to see the outer packaging.
Liu Honghui opened the outer packaging, which was not very exquisite. It was made of plastic packaging, but the pen was a very famous pen.
"This is something from the Soviet Union. The Yaroslav office supplies factory stopped production in 1985. This is the last batch. Let's see, the production date is 1982 and the sale location is Kiev." Liu Honghui nodded constantly.
This thing was sold for 22 rubles and 20 kobby at that time, and the price was printed on the packaging box. It also needed to be stamped when it was sold.
The Yaroslav Office Supplies Factory is the memory of Liu Honghui and his generation. Unfortunately, this memory, although the huge empire collapsed, disappeared.
Liu Honghui was a fan of pens, but in the late Soviet Union, light industry factories there were successively shut down. He searched for this pen for a long time but couldn't find it.
This thing is actually not expensive. If you really want to find it, you can buy it for only a thousand yuan, but you won’t have the stamped ticket, which is too fake.
"Good stuff, good stuff." Liu Honghui nodded constantly.
Wang Huailan took out the book with a plastic wrap in her hand. It was a book called "The Road of Guliya" published by Haitian Publishing House. This is a book that is no longer famous at the moment.
But Liu Cheng knew that his mother had a book. He read it many times. In the end, he didn't know where he threw it. His mother searched for it for a long time, but the book was no longer published. There were old books in the market and his appearance was not very good.
Li Man has entrusted many friends to get it from the publishing house.
Not expensive, mainly due to human favors.
Seeing Liu Cheng's parents satisfied, Li Man finally breathed a sigh of relief. The first level of meeting was passed without any danger with Liu Cheng's help.
The windows at home are clean and clean, and everything is clean. Li Man and Liu Cheng are originally looking for dragons, phoenixes, and phoenixes, and toads look for cypresses. The couple are a little obsessed with cleanliness, so the house is naturally inside and out, and naturally they will not lose points.
Liu Honghui still maintained the appearance of the whole family and sat on the sofa.
Wang Huailan looked left and right, nodding constantly: "The apartment type is good. If you have children in the future and are too busy, I will come to help you see the children."
Liu Cheng scratched his head, and Li Man's face was flushed immediately, lowering his head. This...is too fast, have you even thought about the child?
But is it better to have a boy or a girl?
What's its name?
Liu Cheng shook his head helplessly and said, "Mom..."
"Okay, okay, you young people, mom understands, don't worry, okay, okay, okay, okay." Wang Huailan finally finished looking at the whole room, sat on the sofa, nodding constantly.
What is the most gratifying thing for parents? Is the child promising?
In fact, when the child grew up, he went out far away and could only see him once a year. Last year, during the Chinese New Year, Liu Cheng was in Richmond and he didn't even see him once during the Chinese New Year.
Busy, busy.
But Wang Huailan doesn’t think that it’s too much money to make, it’s just a promising future. How can it make money have a big end?
But Wang Huailan likes Li Man, a well-educated girl.
For parents, the most gratifying thing is that their children have a stable home, stable and down-to-earth situation.
Li Man is obviously an important part of this family, and he doesn't seem to be a arrogant person, let alone anything bad.
"What food to eat? I'll cook it." Liu Cheng said with a smile.
A successful career and a happy life may be the greatest comfort for parents.
"I'll do it." Wang Huailan said and stood up, while Li Man followed him to the kitchen and said as she walked: "Mom, I'll help you."
When a person is nervous, he will say the wrong thing. Obviously, Li Man is a little nervous and doesn’t know what he is thinking, so he shouts out.
Liu Cheng slapped his forehead and said that his parents were urging him to get married. Good guy, he couldn't escape at this moment.
"Liu Cheng, sit down, how much does this house cost? Is it quite expensive? Where does it get the money?" Liu Honghui asked in confusion.
He is still very clear about how much Liu Cheng’s salary is. He can maintain a decent life with his salary, but if he wants to buy a house, it is still a lot worse.
Liu Cheng did not tell his parents about his stay in Richmond, especially between him and Su Yue, so he had to explain the slightly compensated money.
And we also need to explain the process of the continuous accumulation of money over the past year. This is actually a difficult thing to explain, but Liu Honghui is used to being a parent, so he naturally needs to ask clearly every detail.
Except for the Richmond incident, Liu Cheng told Liu Honghui that his son had been in trouble for a long time, and Liu Cheng also reported good news but not bad news.
"Oh, it's all the money your girlfriend earns for you?" Liu Honghui finally understood the core logic of the story and said with a frown: "You said you, a real man, how can you let your girlfriend make money for you?"
Liu Cheng is a little machismo, but Liu Honghui is not a little bit.
