Chapter 50 The Astuteness of Mother Zhang

Zhang Junping put the wine on the ground, took the water Zhao Yuzhi handed over, took a big sip, and then said: "Mom, Qiu Wenyan, it's my partner's parents who want to ask you to meet my dad tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow? You dead boy, see you tomorrow, why are you coming back now?

Me and your dad are not prepared at all.

By the way, what do Qiu Wenyan's parents do? "Mother Zhang punched Zhang Junping twice angrily, and then asked.

It was difficult for Zhang's mother, Zhang Junping only said it once, and remembered the name of his future daughter-in-law.

"Swallow's father works in the district government, and her mother works in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles." Zhang Junping was afraid of scaring his parents, so he only said where he worked, without specifying his job.

"Mom, what is there to prepare for? Can't we just change into clean clothes tomorrow?
At that time, my monitor and his sister-in-law will also go.

Let's find a restaurant, sit down together, get to know each other, talk about the marriage, and decide on the marriage. It's such a simple thing, what is there to prepare for? "Zhang Junping said indifferently.

"You child..." Feeling that Zhang Junping didn't take it seriously, Zhang's mother patted Zhang Junping again dissatisfied.

However, after thinking about it again, it seems that this is the case.

The Zhang family can still afford to go to a restaurant for dinner.

Get married, give a bride price, even a family with thousands of children can get it.

These years, Zhang Junping has paid money to his family every month to subsidize his family.

Except for the bills for meat and oil, the family used them, and Zhang's father and mother didn't touch a penny. They were saved by Zhang Junping for him to marry a wife.

In addition to the money Zhang Junping handed over to his family, Zhang's father and Zhang mother also saved him a sum of money over the years, which was also intended for him to marry a wife.

"But, it's not good to just give money when we meet for the first time, isn't it?

It's a pity that your father was a BJ who fled famine back then, and his ancestors didn't leave a family heirloom. "Mother Zhang shook her head and sighed.

"Mom, what do you think this is?" Zhang Junping smiled, and took out a pair of suet white jade bracelets from his bag.

"This... this pair of bracelets is so beautiful, isn't it worth a lot of money?" Mother Zhang took the bracelet and stroked it, "It's so thin and smooth."

"Mom, this is my son's filial piety to you!" Zhang Junping said, taking the bracelet and putting it on Mother Zhang's hand.

This pair of mutton fat white jade bracelets was received by Zhang Junping from a trust store.

This pair of bracelets cost him more than 500 yuan.

Of course, the big customer, the trust store gave Zhang Junping a piece of Patek Philippe Ref.1518 stainless steel as a head.

Patek Philippe Ref.1518 is a watch launched during World War II, most of which are luxurious gold models, and some are rose gold models.

Only a very small part is made of stainless steel.

The Ref.1518 on Zhang Junping's wrist is made of stainless steel, which looks very low-key.

I'm not very knowledgeable about watches, and I don't even know how precious this watch is.

This also verifies the saying that in the antique circle, leaks often come from the head.

This sentence is not accurate for Zhang Junping’s transaction this time, although this Patek Philippe Ref.1518 stainless steel model in later generations was fired for more than 7000 million RMB.

But a pair of exquisite suet white jade bracelets carved by famous masters is worth more than Patek Philippe Ref.1518.

Zhao Yuzhi was beside her, looking at the jade bracelet on Zhang's mother's hand, her eyes were shining.

It wasn't that Zhao Yuzhi was greedy for anything, it was just an instinctive reaction.

Women have no resistance to this kind of thing.

Mother Zhang put it on her hand, felt it, took one off her wrist, took Zhao Yuzhi's hand, and put it on for her.

After putting it on, Zhang's mother patted Zhao Yuzhi's hand in satisfaction, "Yuzhi! I have worked hard for you these years, and I have never bought you any decent jewelry.

This bracelet was given to me by your elder brother. From now on, this bracelet will be a family heirloom of our Zhang family.

I am the master of my things, this one is for you, and the other is for Swallow. "

"Mom, I can't take it. This is my elder brother's filial piety to you!" Zhao Yuzhi was frightened by her mother-in-law's series of movements, and she didn't dare to move, for fear of dropping the bracelet, she refused repeatedly.

"What your elder brother honors me is mine.

I'll give it to you in front of your elder brother, if you ask him if he has any opinions? "Mother Zhang stared and said domineeringly.

"Boss, I gave a bracelet to my second daughter-in-law, do you have any objections?"

No, the bracelet is my tribute to you, you have the final say on whom to give it to. "Zhang Junping hurriedly said with a smile on his face.

This is also Zhang's mother's shrewdness.

Regardless of whether Zhang Junping gave it to her publicly or privately, it will be left to his daughter-in-law in the future.

Once Qiu Wenyan has it and Zhao Yuzhi doesn't, it will definitely leave a lump in Zhao Yuzhi's heart.

But if she gave it to Zhao Yuzhi in private, Zhang Junping might feel uncomfortable. Why did you secretly give it to your sister-in-law what I bought for you?
Now, Zhang's mother distributes one to the youngest daughter-in-law and one to the eldest daughter-in-law in front of Zhang Junping, so Zhang Junping doesn't have the problem of feeling uncomfortable.

Therefore, being a parent's bowl of water also requires some skills.

"Okay! Second daughter-in-law, put away the bracelet!

This thing looks good, and it's also expensive. It's not suitable for eating or wearing, it's just a thought.

It's not that I can't live anymore, who will take it out?
Keep it well!
When Tiedan gets married in the future, you will no longer be like me, empty-handed, trying to give your wife a good thing, but you can't get it out. "Mother Zhang patted the back of Zhao Yuzhi's hand again and exhorted.

"Oh! Thank you, Mom, then I'll keep it! Thank you too, brother!" Zhao Yuzhi touched the bracelet on her wrist happily.

"Why are you thanking me, mom gave you the bracelet!" Zhang Junping laughed.

……

In the evening, Zhang's father and Zhang Jun'an came back, knowing that they were going to meet their in-laws tomorrow, and complained about Zhang Junping for not coming back earlier to tell them.

The critique of Zhang Junping didn't end until Zhang's mother brought the food.

"Dad, today I bought two jars of good wine from our farm winery, which is said to have been saved from the year the factory was built.

You try it! "Zhang Junping hugged the wine jar, ready to open it.

"Stop it!" Father Zhang shouted.

Zhang Junping was so frightened that he almost threw the wine jar to the ground.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Can't we drink some wine at home?

Keep this wine, tomorrow I will drink a jar with my in-laws, and let your father-in-law take away the remaining jar.

It's a gift from me to my in-laws. "Father Zhang made the arrangement of the two jars of wine very clear in an instant.

"Dad, I have prepared wine for tomorrow. Two boxes of Moutai are enough."

"You kid, thanks to you running outside all day.

Moutai can be bought with money and tickets.

But this wine that has been cellared for more than 20 years, do you have the money to buy it?

Things that cannot be bought are even more precious! "Father Zhang taught with a straight face.

"You're right! Then save this wine for tomorrow, and the three of us will drink Moutai today." Zhang Junping put down the wine jar with a smile.

"You have two money to burn, and you are about to get married, don't you know how to save it?
Just drink my old drink at home!

If you can't drink it, don't drink it! "Father Zhang scolded again with glares.

Zhang Junping could only obediently drink sweet potato burn with Zhang's father and Zhang Jun'an.

"Hey, brother Zhang, sister-in-law, where are you going to eat?" Just as he picked up the wine bowl, a person came in from outside.

　In the last few days, there is still a vote for the monthly ticket.
