Official road bends

Chapter 86 Meet the mother-in-law

The car quickly left Dujuan City. At this time, the high-speed road had not yet been built, and as soon as it left the provincial capital, it took the national highway.

The national road is in good condition. After driving for more than two hours, turn into the border of Sanjiang City, leave the national road, and enter the municipal road.

This kind of road is difficult to walk, with potholes, few good steps, and a car with a low chassis is very difficult to drive.Fortunately, Li Yi has excellent skills and drives fairly smoothly.

While enduring the cradle-like bumps, he scolded local officials: "How can you be an official? You can't even repair a road. What kind of development and progress are you talking about?"

Tan Jingyi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "You are not their superior, so what's the use of scolding them?"

Turning around and seeing Li Yi's stern face, the smile on his face immediately subsided.

Li Yi muttered: "You are right!"

The two rushed to the 'government' of Sanjiang City and met with the leaders in charge. Li Yi arranged for Tan Jingyi to stay first, and then drove out of the gate of the 'government' of the city.He had contacted Guo Xiaoling in advance and told Guo Xiaoling to wait for him next to the city's 'government'.

Turning a corner, I saw Guo Xiaoling standing pretty in the cold wind.When Guo Xiaoling saw Li Yi's car, she ran forward with a smile.

Li Yi opened the car door, hugged her, and was about to kiss her on the street.Guo Xiaoling tapped him lightly on the face, then pushed him away and said, "Why are you so anxious!"

Li Yi smiled, pulled her into the car, and asked, "Did you tell your mother?"

"What are you talking about?" Guo Xiaoling didn't turn the corner for a while.

"Tell me about going home with you! This meeting is getting closer to your home, and I suddenly feel a little timid." Li Yi laughed heartlessly.

"Well, I didn't say anything." Guo Xiaoling said, "Go this way."

Li Yi looked at the street signs outside, and continued on his way: "Your home is in Sanjiang City?"

"Well! My father and my mother are both workers, just like me, and they both work in the city's towel factory." Guo Xiaoling said, a little sadly said: "The towel factory is in a downturn right now. I haven't been paid for a month."

Li Yi frowned and said: "This is a common problem of state-owned enterprises. It won't get better in a while."

Having said that, the topic is a bit heavy.

"Or, you resign and come to the provincial capital." Li Yi said.

"My dad is not in good health. I want to stay by my side and take care of him." When Guo Xiaoling said this, she was afraid that Li Yi would be angry, so she printed another kiss on his face.

"Then don't go to work, you can concentrate on taking care of your uncle at home. You know that I am rich now." Li Yi smiled.

"No. Your money is yours, what does it have to do with me? We are still just boyfriend and girlfriend relationship!" Guo Xiaoling said: "Even if I marry you in the future, I will have my own career! You didn't listen Do you want to write a poem? To the oak tree! One of the lines is very good. I must be a kapok plant near you, standing with you as the image of a tree."

"Women in the new era!" Li Yi laughed, and stopped entangled in this issue. A woman who depends on a man for survival, he believes that he will soon be fatigued with her.

Li Yi quickly drove the car to the bottom of Guo Xiaoling's house.

This is the dormitory area of ​​the city's towel factory, an old-fashioned gray three-story building, hidden under tall camphor and locust trees.

It was around twelve o'clock at noon, and it was time for the noon shift. In the yard, a few children were chasing and playing, and a few old people were sitting on the fence of a big tree, patting mosquitoes with palm-leaf fans, and chatting about homework.

As soon as Li Yi's car entered the yard, he pressed the air horn a few times for fear of hitting a child.

Immediately attracted their onlookers, and even the people in the room ran out to watch the excitement when they heard the siren.In this era, cars are still relatively foreign and expensive. Cars that can drive into their community are naturally even rarer, so we have to find out.

When it was clear that it was Guo Xiaoling who came down from above, the elderly and children shouted excitedly: "Hey, isn't this Xiaoling?"

Someone shouted upstairs as if announcing good news: "Liang Ping, Xiaoling is back! She's still in a car!"

Guo Xiaoling's mother, Liang Ping, was cooking vegetables with a spoon, while scolding her son Guo Xiaotian who was watching TV: "I don't study well all day long, and I don't study well! I can't pass the university entrance examination, and I don't look for a job. Days! Let me see what you do!"

"Say a few words less." Guo Xingguo was watching TV, but the sound of the TV was not as loud as his wife's, so he couldn't listen anymore, so he interrupted: "My son is still young! Ten* Year-old man, what kind of work do you ask him to do? Besides, which factory is still recruiting people now? Everyone is laying off their jobs now!"

"You! Xiaotian told you to be spoiled! If you are like a father, you must be like a son! The old is worthless, and the young is useless! I have to worry about it! Fortunately, I still have A precious daughter, I will count on her from now on! Where is Xiao Ling? Why hasn't she come back yet?" Liang Ping said angrily.

Just as I was talking about this, someone shouted from below.

Guo Xingguo pointed his ears and said, "Someone called you from below! Go and have a look."

"What's so interesting? Why don't you come upstairs if you have something to do? Why are you yelling?" Liang Ping was furious and didn't respond.

The following shouted again: "Guo Xingguo, your daughter is home! She's in a car!"

This time Guo Xiaotian also heard it clearly, and walked towards the window and said: "It seems that sister is back." Looking at the window, he said happily: "Mom, it's really sister! She really came back in a car, then Who is the man? I'll go down and have a look."

Liang Ping and Guo Xingguo came to the window together and looked down, right?Seeing Guo Xiaoling and a man standing by the car, talking to the neighbor, they looked at each other and then ran downstairs.

Li Yi opened the trunk and took out a piece of stuff, including clothes, candies, cigarettes, wine, and even chicken and duck and other delicious dishes.Li Yi opened a cigarette on the spot and distributed it to the neighbors, and opened a bag of paper-wrapped candies and distributed it to the children.

Guo Xiaoling asked while helping, "Come here if you come, why buy such a lot of things?"

"It's the first time I see my mother-in-law. I'm afraid that I'll go to your house empty-handed, and I'm afraid that your mother will beat you out." Li Yi said with a smile.

Guo Xiaoling blushed pretty, feeling a little sweet in her heart.

"Sister!" Guo Xiaotian ran down and shouted happily.He has been close to his sister since he was a child, and he cares more about his sister's affairs than his own. He stared at Li Yi with a pair of tiger eyes, and curled his lips and said, "Who is this person?"

Li Yi took the initiative to say: "Hello, you are Xiaotian, I am Li Yi, and I am your sister's college classmate. Your sister has mentioned you a lot."

Guo Xiaotian laughed and said, "Are you my sister's boyfriend?"

Li Yi didn't expect him to be so direct, so he smiled and said, "Well, you should ask your sister. What she says is what she says."

Guo Xiaotian looked at Guo Xiaoling eagerly.

Guo Xiaoling blushed and said, "Nonsense! Not serious!"

At this time, Guo Xingguo and Liang Ping went downstairs and came over while greeting the neighbors.

Guo Xiaoling quickly shouted: "Dad, Mom!" At the same time, she pulled Li Yi's sleeve.

Li Yi took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from his trouser pocket, and the cigarette had already been sealed.Li Yi skillfully pulled out one, and handed it to Guo Xingguo respectfully with both hands: "Hello, Uncle! I am Li Yi, Xiaoling's college classmate. Hello, Auntie!"

Guo Xingguo took the cigarette, put it under his nose, sniffed it, and praised: "Good smoke!"

Liang Ping pushed him: "The child asks you hello, what kind of smoke do you smell?"

Guo Xingguo said: "You don't understand this, do you? The cigarette is good, just prove the child! Li Yi, do you think it makes sense?"

Li Yi said with a sneer: "Yes. Uncle said yes, that is."

Liang Ping said, "Go up and sit down!"

Several people held things in their hands together and walked upstairs.

Several neighbors shouted, "Liang Ping, is this your uncle?"

Liang Ping waved her hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this is Xiaoling's college classmate. They are still young, so it's not the time to talk about it."

Li Yi secretly thought, what does Liang Ping mean by this?The first sentence obviously meant disagreement or disapproval, but the latter sentence seemed to have a buffer, which gave Li Yi some face.Thinking of this, Li Yi's heart sank, I'm afraid it will be a bit abrupt today.

Guo's house is on the third floor, with a simple two-bedroom and one living room. There is neither luxurious decoration nor expensive furniture. In the very simple living room, there are a few stools, an old sofa, and a [-]-inch black and white TV.

Guo Xingguo called Li Yi to sit down, Liang Ping made tea, and said, "Come here, why spend so much money? When you drop by a classmate's house, treat it like your own. You're welcome."

Li Yi took it with a smile and thanked him.

Liang Ping took out melons and fruits and placed two plates, greeted Li Yi to eat, and said: "Xingguo, you chat with Li Yi, Xiaoling, come in."

Guo Xiaoling said, "What are you doing in the room?"

"Come here when I tell you, I have something to tell you."

Guo Xingguo smiled and said, "The guests are here! Can't I ask Xiaoling to accompany the guests? Are you afraid that you don't have time to talk?"

Liang Ping glared at him: "What do you know!"

Li Yi knew that she had a question to ask Guo Xiaoling, so he smiled and said: "Auntie, you go, I'm fine." Saying that, he nodded to Guo Xiaoling.

Guo Xiaoling had no choice but to go to the back room with her mother.

Liang Ping closed the door and asked questions like cannonballs: "Where have you been? What does he do at home? When did it start? Have you ever slept?"

"Mom! What kind of questions are you asking? I refuse to answer!" Guo Xiaoling sat down on the bed angrily, and said angrily.

"You have to answer!" Liang Ping chased after her.

"We have nothing, just a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, not as bad as you think!" Guo Xiaoling snorted coldly.

"Really?" Liang Ping didn't believe it: "Then why is he so industrious? Didn't you see the things he bought? The cigarette money alone is enough for your dad's salary for several months! The pile of things outside, Do the math, is it enough for my family's expenses for a year?"

"How do I know! He has the money but no place to spend it! If he wants to spend money, that's his business! I didn't tell him to buy it." Guo Xiaoling didn't expect this to be an excuse for her mother to attack, and said with a smile: " Someone is willing to spend money for your daughter, isn't it good? Prove that I'm attractive!"

"Oh! Why are you so ignorant! Is it so easy to spend a man's money? It's all for a purpose!" Liang Ping said anxiously.
