The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 101: Sweet-mouthed and handsome, good at coaxing mother-in-law

It was still unclear whether the girl introduced to her son would be successful. Even if she failed, Liu Xiaofang could ask Wang Huimei to help her find another one. But the handsome young man who suddenly called her "Mom" told her directly that he was her daughter Zhou Lingying's husband, not her boyfriend.

And he brought so many good things to her house. Liu Xiaofang was puzzled at first. How could a woman bring so many things to a blind date? It seemed that this was the first time her son-in-law came to her house today.

"Mom, Lingying said that dad likes to drink, so I brought a bottle of Fenjiu. Mom, this is the lotus root powder I bought in Hangzhou. You can buy it there without a ticket. You can drink it with just boiling water. Mom, this is the White Rabbit milk candy I bought in Shanghai. Lingying likes it. I bought two kilograms. This is for you, and I also saved some for Lingying. Mom~~."

Jiang Cheng took the things while introducing them, and he kept calling her "Mom", which made Liu Xiaofang so happy that she didn't know what to do.

"Jiang Cheng, and the other guy, please sit down first. I'll go to the kitchen to boil some water. My husband Zhou and Xingcai should be back soon. Let's all try the lotus root powder that my brother-in-law brought and see how it tastes." Liu Xiaofang said happily.

Liu Xiaofang still didn't know how Jiang Cheng met her daughter and got married, nor did she know what Jiang Cheng's occupation was. But such a handsome young man, dressed very decently. She liked him because he called her "Mom" all the time and because of his sweet words.

Moreover, he brought so many gifts to honor them, how could she not entertain this son-in-law warmly?

"Mom, there's a big grass carp and some river shrimps in the bag at the door. I didn't bring them in because I was afraid the water would dirty the room. What do you think we should do with it?" Jiang Cheng saw Liu Xiaofang walk out of the room to go to the kitchen to boil water, and called out "Mom" to her again.

"Hey, wow, the fish is so big." Liu Xiaofang responded immediately when she heard Jiang Cheng's call, fearing that her son-in-law would get impatient if she was slow to respond. But when she opened a big bag at the door, she saw that the fish was really big, probably 15 or 16 pounds. It was fine if she didn't move the bag, but when she moved it, the fish jumped a little, still alive.

For grass carp, fifteen or sixteen pounds is not considered big. There are bigger ones in Jiang Cheng's space, but there are no particularly large ones. Even the largest grass carp must be caught in the central part of the water area.

"Mom, do you want me to help you deal with it?" Jiang Cheng shouted.

"No need, wait for your father and your brother to come and let them take care of it." Liu Xiaofang replied. How could she let her son-in-law be busy with this when he brought so many things to honor them?

Seeing that his help was not needed, Jiang Cheng continued to greet the matchmaker and the women who came for the blind date in the room.

Everyone understood, especially the matchmaker Wang Huimei, who knew why Liu Xiaofang didn't introduce her son-in-law to her yesterday. It seemed that Liu Xiaofang herself didn't know that such a son-in-law existed.

Liu Xiaofang was boiling water in the kitchen and returned to her room. When she returned to her room, she had no interest in caring about the situation of the girl Wang Huimei brought to propose marriage, but instead took Jiang Cheng's hand and asked him about his daughter.

Jiang Cheng also briefly talked about his own situation. He was from a rural area and joined the army a few years ago. He was lucky enough to become a car soldier, but something happened at home, so he was demobilized and returned to the local area.

Then it was said that when Zhou Lingying first went to the countryside she had no place to live, so she stayed at Jiang Cheng's house. In short, it was fate.

As for the relationship and marriage, Jiang Cheng didn't dare to say that he got married so quickly because he was anxious to sleep with Zhou Lingying because she was pretty. Or he used the division of the house as an excuse to get married in a hurry.

As for Zhou Lingying, she is now living with him in the city, so there is no need to worry about her suffering in the rural commune in Changcheng. After hearing what Jiang Cheng said, Liu Xiaofang also saw the big car downstairs when she came back from get off work. She didn't expect that it was her son-in-law who drove the car. The last time her daughter wrote to him, she only said that she had found a person to be assigned a job, and she didn't say that she was assigned to be a driver.

This job is good, he is handsome, and he is capable. Liu Xiaofang likes Jiang Cheng more and more. As the saying goes, once a mother-in-law approves of her son-in-law, she really likes him more and more. This son-in-law must be treated well, so that Jiang Cheng will love his daughter more.

Fortunately, the women brought by matchmaker Wang Huimei were willing to listen to Jiang Cheng's talk and found it very interesting. Even Xie Xiuyun, who came for the blind date, was wondering if she would have encountered such a good thing if she had not joined the work and was arranged to go to the countryside.

Fortunately, Zhou Xingcai came back from get off work soon. Liu Xiaofang introduced Jiang Cheng as her second son, and the blind date officially began.

"Brother, it's hot, drink a bottle of drink."

After Liu Xiaofang introduced Jiang Cheng and Zhou Xingcai to each other, Jiang Cheng politely called Zhou Xingcai "brother".

It was just that Jiang Cheng was comfortable calling Liu Xiaofang "Mom", but it was a bit awkward to call Zhou Xingcai "Brother". After all, the other party was younger than him, but he had to call him that.

Zhou Xingcai was also confused by the sudden appearance of his brother-in-law, but he was going on a blind date and it was not easy for him to ask his mother what was going on.

He took the drink Jiang Cheng handed over. It was hot, and young people, both men and women, were greedy. Zhou Xingcai saw that the matchmaker and the people he brought over all had a bottle of drink in their hands, so he seemed to be a bit out of place if he didn't take it.

He took the drink, found a corner of a stool, put the bottle cap on it, and then tapped it to open it.

There were no bottle openers, and no straws for drinking. No one was polite, just like that. Drinking from the bottle, even the girl Xie Xiuyun did the same, and no one said it was unsightly.

As soon as Zhou Xingcai came back, Liu Xiaofang also formally told the woman about her son's situation, mainly about his work and salary. Then the woman's parents also introduced some information about their daughter.

"Jiang Cheng, tell me how much you earn as a driver per month."

"It's OK. I'm a third-level driver, with a salary of 58 yuan a month, and I get a subsidy of one yuan a day for long-distance driving. But when I deliver goods to people, their companies will give me some cigarettes and alcohol, and some people ask me to bring some things. I earn about a hundred yuan a month. Yingying won't suffer if she follows me."

Jiang Cheng replied, he was originally talking about Zhou Xingcai and Xie Xiuyun's salary. Liu Xiaofang suddenly asked Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng responded immediately.

Jiang Cheng said it calmly, mainly because his income from selling fish is many times higher than his salary. He can earn 100 yuan by going to a few restaurants to process some fish. So he is still modest when he says he earns more than 100 yuan a month. In fact, many experienced drivers in his unit have their own channels to bring goods and can earn this much.

The key point is that Jiang Cheng came here suddenly after a long time. He only felt that the salary was okay, and he was very satisfied compared to the average workers who made more than 30 yuan. But if there was no space, the basic salary of 58 yuan would not be enough for him to spend. It would take more than half a year's income to make a set of furniture.
