Wang Xu’s parents were regular workers in a factory. Since they did not possess any special skills, they had worked in a factory for the rest of their lives.
However, many found this to be a stable and safe job.
In that era, being able to have a stable job in a factory meant that a family could live relatively well!
Wang Xu’s parents’ circle of life was not big, and they knew many people of the same working class.
Therefore, for them, finding Wang Xu a man with a stable job and income was their only hope for the future.
Originally, they had arranged for Wang Xu to work in the neighborhood committee, thinking that she could live a comfortable life.
Who knew that this child would be so disobedient and actually ditch her job and run away!
She was also not happy with the marriage arranged by her family. She insisted on finding her own true love!
There was no true love in this day and age!
Once they got married, there was nothing more to it than firewood, rice, oil, and salt. They would work hard all day long, and in the end, they would only be able to survive on three meals.
Although Wang Xu’s parents were greedy, they also hoped that their daughter could lead a good life.
Seeing that perhaps Wang Xu’s life would be better with Fang Ya, her parents no longer insisted on taking her away.
Wang Xu did not want to bring trouble to Fang Ya and the others, so she brought her parents to a nearby restaurant for a meal.
Wang Xu’s parents were used to being frugal, so they were at a loss for what to do when they were being treated to a meal outside.
Wang Xu looked at her parents’ aging faces and could not help but sigh.
“Dad, Mom, you don’t have to care about my matters anymore. I will follow Sister Fang Ya and do a good job.” Wang Xu once again expressed her determination.
Wang Xu’s mother was holding a roll of rice balls and putting them on the plate. When she heard Wang Xu’s words, she quickly put down her chopsticks. “You have to get married eventually. No matter what job you get for yourself, you have to find a man!”
“I…” Wang Xu wanted to say something but hesitated. She did not know how to begin.
“What do you mean ‘I’! How old are you! If you can’t find a man to want you in the future, I’ll see how you get on with life!” Wang Xu’s father snorted. He was obviously dissatisfied.
Wang Xu pursed her lips helplessly. She steeled her heart and said, “I do have a boyfriend!”
Wang Xu’s words stunned her parents.
“You have a boyfriend? What does he do? How old is he? Where is he from? How many in his family?” Wang Xu’s mother threw a flurry of questions.
Wang Xu frowned slightly, not knowing where to start.
“Ayy! That’s not important!” Wang Xu’s father waved his hand and said, “Is the family rich? Can they support you?”
Wang Xu sighed deeply and almost gave up talking.
Wang Xu’s mother suddenly remembered the phone that Wang Xu was holding. “That phone of yours, from your boyfriend?”
“That’s not bad. Let’s meet him!” Wang Xu’s father instantly perked up.
Wang Xu suddenly felt a headache coming. She wanted to give herself a slap. Why did she have to open her mouth!
But since she had already spoken, her parents would probably not give up until they saw Li Tong.
Wang Xu thought about it and said, “Okay! I’ll ask him if he has time tonight. Go home and rest after you’ve seen him!”
Wang Xu’s father pouted unhappily. “You still have to ask him if he has time?”
Wang Xu frowned. “You guys suddenly came over. He still has work to do!”
“If you guys don’t want to see him, then forget it. Next time, I’ll bring him back to see you guys!” Wang Xu said with slight dissatisfaction.
Wang Xu’s mother patted Wang Xu’s father’s thigh under the table and frowned at him.
Wang Xu’s father took a deep breath and said, “Okay, okay, okay! Go and ask him if he has time to meet us!”
Hearing the hostility in her parents’ tone, Wang Xu knew that they were not going to let this slide.
Wang Xu picked up his phone and walked to the side to call Li Tong.
When Li Tong heard that Wang Xu wanted him to meet her parents, he immediately agreed happily. He even made an appointment with a relatively famous Western restaurant nearby.
Wang Xu brought her parents to the Western restaurant. Two pairs of old eyes immediately curved into crescent moons.
“Ahhh! Not bad, this child is thoughtful!” Wang Xu’s mother said happily.
The corners of Wang Xu’s mouth twitched. She wanted to smile, but she did not dare to be too ostentatious.
When they walked into the restaurant, Wang Xu immediately saw Li Tong who was already waiting inside.
Wang Xu brought her parents over.
When Li Tong saw who it was, he quickly stood up to greet them.
He smiled and greeted Wang Xu’s parents. “Uncle, Auntie, I’m Li Tong.”
Wang Xu’s father nodded expressionlessly and did not say anything.
Wang Xu’s mother, on the other hand, looked Li Tong up and down, as if she was trying to burn a hole through Li Tong’s body.
Wang Xu smiled awkwardly at Li Tong and pulled her parents to their seats.
They sat down. Li Tong obediently recommended the better dishes for Wang Xu’s parents so that they would not be embarrassed.
Wang Xu’s parents seemed to be satisfied with Li Tong’s service and ordered the dishes recommended by Li Tong.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Li Tong faced Wang Xu’s parents with a smile. He felt that his face was about to freeze..
