Return to 90 and start a career

Chapter 53 Golden Flower

Li Manjun's appearance today was so good-looking that Zhao Yong didn't dare to look at her for fear of losing his composure in front of his elders.

He looked at Li Jianjun and Li Lijun standing by the door of the second bedroom, "These are Lijun and Jianjun."

He took out two more red envelopes from his pocket and handed them over as greeting gifts.

Wang Xiaojuan and Li Dawei looked at each other and were secretly satisfied. All the etiquette and customs were taken into consideration, which made people feel comfortable.

Seeing the two siblings acting stupidly, Li Manjun said amusedly, "Don't you know how to thank people?"

Li Jianjun scratched his head and asked: "What's your name?"

Brother-in-law, it's a bit early. Call me brother, and it shows your identity. Moreover, you have received all the red envelopes, why don’t you change your mind?

Aunt Wu joked: "After receiving the red envelope, I will definitely call him brother-in-law."

Li Jianjun and Li Lijun looked at each other and called themselves brother-in-law. Li Jianjun's voice was as soft as a mosquito's cry.

Li Lijun said loudly, "Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Zhao Yong was embarrassed to shout. He turned his head to look at Li Manjun and raised the corners of his mouth.

Grandma Qiao and Aunt Wu looked at each other. Neither Manjun's parents objected, which meant that the matter was done well and the parents were satisfied.

Li Dawei greeted Zhao Yong to sit down at the table, and Wang Xiaojuan took Aunt Wu to work in the kitchen.

In fact, there was nothing to do. The food was ready, so I took apart the fruit basket that Zhao Yong brought, washed the fruits out, and asked Li Jianjun to bring it to the table.

Wang Xiaojuan also looked at the cigarettes, wine and candies, two bottles of wine, two cigarettes, a box of candies, and the fruit basket to make six even numbers.

Aunt Wu couldn't help but admire, "This is an effort to learn about our local customs."

Looking at the brands of cigarettes and alcohol again, Aunt Wu whispered, "Hey, Maotai's wine, the cigarettes are Hongtashan, and the sugar is also imported cookies."

"Ah?" Wang Xiaojuan hurriedly came over to take a look and quickly made a calculation in her mind. This thing is almost a thousand yuan!

This new son-in-law is so generous.

Wang Xiaojuan took out a bottle of Maotai liquor and said, "Drink this today. Go and call Lao Wang and Nannan!"

The relationship was so good that Aunt Wu stood up and patted her knees, and went back next door to ask her husband to come over.

"Auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time." Uncle Wang walked in, holding his little granddaughter in his hand, and greeted him warmly.

Grandma Qiao stood up and opened her hands to coax her, "Come here, Grandma Grandma, give her a hug."

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yong, who was being interrogated by Li Dawei about three generations of his ancestors, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, took out his cigarettes, and gave them to Uncle Wang.

"Is this your future son-in-law?" Uncle Wang took the cigarette and Zhao Yong helped him light it without smoking himself.

He quit smoking and stopped smoking unless necessary.

If you really can't avoid it, try to smoke it slower, or click and put it down.

Li Dawei looked at Zhao Yong with a smile, feeling very satisfied, but still with a faint look of alienation on his face. He asked Lao Wang to sit down, nodded and said:

"Young people are free to love, and we as parents have nothing to say about it. It's up to them. As long as the young people live a good life, we as parents have nothing to say."

Lao Wang still can't see that Li Dawei is pretending?

An An slapped him in the face, kid, just pretend, who can't see how proud he is?

Li Jianjun listened to his mother's words and opened a bottle of Maotai and put it on the dining table. Lao Wang's eyebrows jumped and he took a sip of the Huazi in his hand. He was secretly happy that he had a good drink today.

Zhao Yong took the initiative to talk to the two male elders. He had rich experience and could speak a little bit about everything. When he heard Li Dawei complaining that work in the countryside was not easy to do, he thought for a while and said:

"Uncle, I have a friend in Rongcheng who can speak some words in the work. I will tell him your situation later and he may be able to help."

In the bedroom, Li Manjun, who was about to open gifts and red envelopes with Li Lijun, leaned against the door. Does Zhao Yong know anyone in the unit?

But then I thought about it. He had been running a racing team in Rongcheng for so many years, so it was normal for him to have some personal connections.

It’s just that it’s not good to have to help with such a big thing for the family just after meeting each other for the first time, isn’t it?

When asking for help from someone, you must do it in a way that benefits the person.

It's just that Zhao Yong's words have been thrown out, and Li Manjun can't go out to try to trouble him. After thinking about it, Zhao Yong still left some room. He said that there might be a way, but he didn't say that it would be done.

If the benefits you want to give are too many, then you won’t do it.

If it's not much, she'll pay for it herself.

Li Lijun bumped her sister with her elbow, "Brother-in-law, do you know anyone who is an official in the city?"

Li Manjun shrugged, "Who knows, it's the first time I heard him say it."

80% of it is a lie, bragging!

Li Lijun was not interested in this either and urged her sister to open the gifts while she opened the red envelope given by her brother-in-law.

"Wow, two hundred!" Li Lijun went crazy with joy, staring at the two hundred-dollar bills, which were as bright as evil wolves.

Li Manjun thought to herself that Zhao Yong was really crazy. She knew the local customs and usually just gave him twenty-fifty as a gift, but he actually paid two hundred yuan for it!

Are you afraid that people won't know that he is rich?

Li Manjun was not very angry and told Li Lijun to put it away and not spend it randomly, and opened the small box in her hand.

The pink wrapping paper has a red raffia on it. First remove the raffia, then tear off the wrapping paper to reveal a big red packaging box.

Looking at the certain gold jewelry written on the box, Li Manjun had already guessed what was inside.

Opening the lid of the box, a large golden flower necklace lay quietly inside. If the box were any smaller, it would not be able to hold the large flower.

When Li Lijun saw him, she couldn't help but whisper about her future brother-in-law's vision, "How rustic."

"Can I take this out?" Li Lijun clicked her tongue and shook her head, "If you give me money to wear it, I won't even wear it."

Li Manjun looked at the bill pressed at the bottom of the box. The gold flowers plus the chain totaled 15 grams, and the price per gram was 90. There was no labor fee, totaling 1,350 yuan.

Looking up and seeing Li Lijun's disgusted look, Li Manjun put the box into a locked drawer, shook his head and sighed: "Young people don't know the fragrance of gold~"

Of course, she wouldn't wear it either. She couldn't bear Zhao Yong's straight male gaze.

"What does it smell like? It's so earthy, but it still smells good?" Li Lijun touched her two hundred red envelopes, and it smelled so good.

In order to prevent her mother from taking away the red envelope, Li Lijun begged Li Manjun not to tell Wang Xiaojuan the amount of the red envelope.

Can this be hidden?

Li Manjun shook his head: "I have to say it, but if you can arrange this red envelope reasonably, your parents may not take it away."

But it's unlikely. Li Manjun smiled evilly in his heart, it would be a lot if he could stay twenty or thirty years.

Sure enough, after Wang Xiaojuan prepared all the meals, the first thing she did was to collect the red envelopes from her sister and brother.

Li Jianjun kept twenty yuan, and Li Lijun could only keep twenty yuan. How to use the twenty yuan had to be reported to her parents.

Li Lijun was furious, so Wang Xiaojuan gave her a light slap to remind her that there were guests at home, so who was she to embarrass herself on this big day?

Li Lijun finally managed a smile.

At the dinner table, Uncle Wang wanted to toast Zhao Yong. Zhao Yong said that he could not drink while driving, so he replaced the wine with water and drank a lot of water.

The men had been drinking for three rounds, and the women had almost finished their meal. Granny Qiao got to the point and said that the two young men were settled now, and what plans did the woman have for the next marriage?
