If parents can't build a new house for their son, it's hard to say whether the bride is willing to marry or not.
In fact, Hu Yong didn't agree with his family to build a new house for him. After all, he must live in Beijing in the future. He usually has little chance and time to go home. Even if he builds a new house, it's a waste.
However, Hu Yong's parents don't think so. They think that since Hu Yong was born here, this is his root. How can he not have a decent home? And they think that since Hu Yong is from Beijing, he should build a new house and look more beautiful.
What's more, can the house be built there? Even from a business point of view, it's impossible to lose money.
Hu Yong also agreed to meet his parents.
However, Hu Yong never talked about the object, and the building of the house was not urgent. Before, his parents only left the foundation for him. It was only when he saw that Hu Yong was getting older and his parents were in a bit of a hurry that construction began in the second half of last year. Unexpectedly, it was used within a few months after the building was completed.
This made Hu Yong feel more or less glad that he had listened to his parents, otherwise the wedding would have to be held in the old house. In that case, he would feel a little sorry for Li Xiaoping.
Hu Yong's parents, elder brother and sister-in-law, and Li Xiaoping's mother and daughter all came out of the room when they got out of the car. Both of them were in their fifties. Maybe they looked old because of hard work. Hu Yong's brother and sister-in-law also look older than their actual age.
Know Chu Chen is Hu Yong's boss, Hu Yong's family is very enthusiastic, but because of Chu Chen's identity, their enthusiasm more or less with some formality.
They exchanged greetings for a moment, then surrounded them and welcomed them into the room.
Entering the hall, Hu Yong's parents have prepared the food and wine. The wine is the famous Dukang wine. In Cao Cao's short song line, a sentence "be generous and unforgettable, how can you relieve your worries? Only Dukang" has become a masterpiece through the ages, and also let the Chinese people remember this historical famous wine brand.
In addition to the common chicken, duck and fish, there are several local specialties. One of them is Hu Yong's mother's specialty stew, which is oily but not greasy. It's salty and palatable. It tastes delicious and mellow. If it's served with rice and a light soup, it's really delicious.
Hu Yong's brother is very simple. He doesn't talk much all the time. Hu's father didn't speak much at first, but he drank more wine, so he spoke more and had a loud voice.
"Dry!" Hu's father dried the wine in his glass.
Hu Yong advised: "Dad, you drink less."
Hu Fu glared at him: "I know how much I can drink. Besides, boss Chu seldom comes here. What's wrong with having a drink with him? "
Seeing that Chu Chen also dried up his wine, he continued: "look at how refreshing boss Chu is. He is just like you. After a few drinks, his face turns red like a monkey's butt."
Seeing Hu Yong's embarrassed face, Chu Chen relieved him with a smile and said, "uncle, it's also because Hu Yong works that he can't drink."
When Hu Fu heard Chu Chen say this, he didn't say anything more on this topic. After a while, he thought of something and said, "boss Chu, you're not in the junk business..."
Before Hu's father had finished speaking, Hu Yong cut in and said, "Dad, I've told you many times that it's not second-hand goods, it's antiques."
"Yes, it's an antique. That's all right." Hu Fu waved: "let's go on Ah! Where am I? "
Hu Yong wordless remind way: "you say Chu elder brother is to do antique business."
"Oh, yes." Hu Fu patted his forehead and said, "there is a boy named Erdan in our village. He seems to be engaged in this business too..."
Hu Yong added: "Dad, isn't that right? The kid Er Dan is just a fool every day. When did he start to engage in antiques? What's more, I haven't heard from you since I came back so long! "
Hu Fu said, "Erdan went out before the Spring Festival. I'll tell you what he did."
Hu Yong was also a little surprised: "that's not right. He just muddles along. How can he understand antiques?"
Hu Fu said: "how can I know about this? Anyway, Erdan said that. Every time he comes back, within a few days, someone takes the boss to his house to see the bottles and cans. After a while, those things will be bought."
As I said earlier, some so-called "antique dealers" now go to the countryside to bury mines, and then make up some stories to deceive some careless bosses. Therefore, when Chu Chen heard Hu Fu's words, he felt that this Erdan was a partner of those "antique dealers".
Hu Yong asked, "Dad, how did you know that?"
Hu Fu said with a smile: "you don't know what Er Dan Niang is. As long as she knows something, every other day or two, the whole village will know it. Her son made money, and that's all the more obvious. "
Hu Yong thinks that's really the case. Er Danniang is a famous gossip in the town. She didn't say that ER Danniang didn't win in the past. Now it's normal for ER Danniang to make a lot of money in the village.Thinking of this, Hu Yong asked Chu Chen, "shall we go tomorrow?"
"Then go and have a look." Anyway, there's nothing to do tomorrow. It's good to have a look and pass the time. Chu Chen nodded and agreed. Then he asked, "but you're going to be the bridegroom the day after tomorrow. Is there nothing else to do tomorrow?"
Hu Yong said with a smile: "all the arrangements have been made at home. I just need to send Xiaoping to the hotel in the town tomorrow."
There must be a step to get married. Li Xiaoping's hometown is not close to here. If you really want to go to Li Xiaoping's home to get married, you'll have to leave tomorrow night. However, Li Xiaoping's second marriage is not so particular about her mother's family. Just welcome her in the hotel.
Of course, if Li Xiaoping was still a girl, her parents would not be able to speak so well.
"OK, let's talk about it tomorrow..."
After a meal, Hu's father was very heavy when he walked. Hu's mother helped him back to the old house to have a rest, while Chu Chen and Chu Chen went to the room arranged for them to have a rest.
The next morning, as soon as they got up, chuchen saw villagers coming over one after another, and the yard began to make noise.
The wedding banquet in the countryside is still the old rule. All the banquets are made by the chef at home. In addition, it's only 2002 now. The materials and services are not as developed as those of later generations. There are many things to buy, and many of them have to be prepared in advance.
Fortunately, it's a little good in the countryside. In general, people in the village will come to help in weddings and funerals, which undoubtedly reduces a lot of burden on the owner's family.
In addition, Hujia village is basically a big family, and Hu Yong has his parents and elder brother making arrangements there. Besides offering cigarettes to villagers and elders, he has nothing to do.
After breakfast, Hu Yong first took Li Xiaoping's mother and daughter to the hotel in the town. Because the hotel had been arranged for a long time, and there were Chu Chen and them, Hu Yong didn't stay in the hotel much, so he drove home.
After Hu Yong went home, he found Chu Chen and others who were wandering in the village: "brother Chu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."
Chuchen said with a smile: "what's the shame about this? To be honest, it's rare to come to the countryside now. It's also very good. Moreover, the air here is much better than that in the capital."
Wu Ke also nodded with a smile and said: "brother Hu, you have a beautiful scenery with mountains and water. Now is not the rise of agritainment. I think it can be done here."
Hu Yong said with a bitter smile: "our scenery and resources are not bad, but the road is too bad, and the economy is not developed. It is almost impossible to repair the road without the above support."
Chu Chen took over and said, "on the one hand, the road is not good. On the other hand, the economy here is underdeveloped, and the business of Nongjiale will not be very good. Just like a person's money just enough for him to eat rice, how can he risk hunger to buy a piece of meat to taste? "
Wu Ke laughs with embarrassment. He thinks it's too easy for him to think about the problem. It seems that he will have to work harder in the future. Otherwise, how can he help Chu Chen manage those businesses?
They chatted while walking, and soon came to Erdan's door. At this time, Erdan's door was closed, and a Pushan had already stopped at the door. This car should not be second egg, otherwise Hu Fu would have mentioned it yesterday.
Seeing this, Hu Yong was surprised and said, "eh, why are Erdan's goods so popular? I came back yesterday, and someone came here today? "
Chu Chen micro shook his head: "this is not necessarily his goods hot, there may be someone already contacted the seller."
He has been around chuchen all the time. Hu Yong also knows that there are many tricks in the field of antiques. In addition, he thought it was wrong for Erdan to suddenly step into the field of antiques. Now when he heard chuchen say so, he quickly asked: "brother Chu, is there a problem in it?"
Chu Chen replied, "it's quite possible."
Hu Yong thinks that Chu Chen's saying is more likely, so there must be a problem: "do we still want to go in?"
Chuchen said with a smile: "if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger's son? If you come here, how can you not go in and have a look?"
Wu Ke and Zuo Shan smile and nod. They are very confident in Chu Chen's eyesight. They think that even if there is a problem with Er Dan, they can't cheat Chu Chen.
"Yes, I'll tell him to open the door." With that, Hu Yong came forward and knocked on the door: "Er Dan, open the door quickly!"
"Come, come! Don't knock. If you knock on the door again, it will fall apart! "
After a while, a young man in his twenties came to open the door. He was simple and honest, dressed in very simple clothes, and looked like an honest farmer. Most people didn't expect that he was just a fool before.
