Reborn to be rich

Chapter 138 The Day of Gou Xiaodan
Tian Ailing got up very early in the morning. Today, her parents are going to Zhang Guotao's house to discuss their two engagements. She gets up at four o'clock and is getting dressed. Her younger brother has been calling for the past few days to play in Zhangjialing Village. Now people from Qindu City are going to Visiting Zhangjialing is a trend. If you don’t believe me, you can see news about Zhangjialing Village all day long on TV and in newspapers.

She and Zhang Guotao have known each other for the third year. When she first went to perform in Zhangjialing Village, she was only 16 years old when she met Zhang Guotao for the first time, and now she is 18 years old. In two years, the two of them have already made a private appointment lifelong.

Tian Ailing's mother, Gou Xiaodan, actually didn't sleep last night. Her daughter has been well-behaved and smart since she was a child, and her academic performance has always been at the top of the class. Now she is just 18 years old. More than double.

She initially disagreed that her daughter found a boyfriend, but she hesitated when she found out about his family situation. Her daughter was infatuated with him, and she could talk about Zhang Guotao and Zhang Guodong brothers on any topic at home. Seeing that Zhang Guotao is really good-looking and talented, he acquiesced.

Today I am going to Zhangjialing Village to talk about my daughter’s marriage. Gou Xiaodan and her husband have prepared for this matter for a long time. Knowing that the other party’s family is rich, they went to Chang’an to buy clothes a few years ago. I have a cashmere coat worth more than 600 yuan. I couldn't buy anything before.

"Mom, eat quickly, it's already 06:30!"

Tian Chao, Tian Ailing's younger brother, was very active. He urged the family to eat quickly. Today he can finally go to Zhangjialing Village to finish. As for his sister's engagement, he doesn't care much.

Tian Ailing ate some breakfast with a happy face, looking out of the window from time to time, when a jeep drove in from the gate of the community, Tian Ailing stood up and lay down on the window sill to look downstairs.

"Sit down, why worry! Chaochao, have you finished eating?"

Gou Xiaodan knew that the car to pick them up had arrived, so she put down her chopsticks, her husband also put down the bowl and chopsticks, and her son rushed to the window sill and shouted that the car was coming.

Tian Ailing returned to the dining table and saw that everyone had finished eating and took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Thinking of seeing Zhang Guotao again later, her heart was as sweet as honey.

"Don't rush to clean up. When Guotao comes, let him have some breakfast before leaving. He came before dawn so early." Tian Ailing's father said.

"Dad, let's eat it when we get to Zhangjialing! The mutton steamed buns there are very delicious, and the steamed buns are specially pressed and roasted. You will know it after you taste it!"

Tian Ailing said happily, but when he finished speaking, she saw her parents suddenly became very depressed. She suddenly realized that today was mainly her engagement day, and tears shed from the corners of her mother's eyes at some point.

"Mom and Dad, let's pack up quickly, Brother Guotao is here!" Tian Chao was only 8 years old this year, and he didn't notice the change of mood at home.

"Don't clean up. Put the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen first. I'll clean them up when I come back in the afternoon. I've heard that Zhangjialing Village's steamed mutton is very famous. I can try it today." To comfort his wife, Gou Xiaodan got up after hearing this and packed up his things for going out today.

The doorbell rang, and Tian Ailing's father went to open the door, and Zhang Guotao stood at the door handsomely in a suit.

"uncle!"

"Guo Tao is here, come in and sit down, let's pack up and go!" Tian Ailing's father said with a smile.

Gou Xiaodan’s reluctance to see Zhang Guotao entering the door also eased a lot. The more she looked at Zhang Guotao, the more happy she was. Not to mention that he was from Zhangjialing Village, but his knowledge and ability to deal with things were all excellent. It's not something that ordinary young people can have. I don't know how much the neighbors envy me.

"There's nothing to bring, let's go straight away, don't make your family wait in a hurry, you see how embarrassing it is to trouble you to pick us up early in the morning."

Gou Xiaodan greeted Zhang Guotao with a smile and said, Tian Ailing saw this and went back to her room with a smile to get her bag, but the family went downstairs and saw her colleague Wei Yuncai was about to go out.

"Xiao Dan, where are the family going this early in the morning?"

Wei Yuncai is the chief of the inspection department of the fertilizer factory and Gou Xiaodan's immediate boss. The two of them have been in the factory at the same time for many years. This time the results were disappointing, and it was impossible to find a relationship or give a gift. A large part of the reason for this was Wei Yuncai.

"Chief Wei, you have to go out so early! Isn't it the Lantern Festival today! We plan to take the children to Zhangjialing." Gou Xiaodan said with a smile.

"Ai Ling is really getting more and more beautiful. I don't know which young man who has practiced eight lifetimes of blessings will be able to marry my family's Ai Ling. This young man..." Wei Yuncai looked at Zhang Guotao and said deliberately.She has worked in a state-owned enterprise for half her life, and today she saw a handsome guy driving a big jeep to borrow Tian Ailing's family, so she couldn't help but inquire about it out of curiosity.

"This is my brother-in-law, we're going to play at my brother-in-law's house!" Tian Chao didn't move his lord's thoughts, and made Wei Yuncai envious happily.

"Guo Tao, this is Auntie's colleague, Auntie Wei!" Gou Xiaodan introduced to Zhang Guotao.

"Hello, Aunt Wei!" Zhang Guotao asked politely.

"Yo! You're Ailing's boyfriend! I've been good friends with Ailing's mother since we were young. This child is promising at first glance. Zhangjialing's ecological pork has been on TV all day lately. I heard that your village is going to build a Three Kingdoms film and television show. In the city, the built houses are sold to the villagers at half price in the village, isn’t it a good thing.”

Wei Yuncai heard that Zhang Guotao was from Zhangjialing Village, so she couldn't help being interested. She looked at Gou Xiaodan's proud face and felt envious. Her youngest daughter has just entered junior high school, and she might have a good relationship with Gou Xiaodan's family. I can also marry Zhangjialing in the future, and I can't think of endless happiness at that time.

"The film and television city hasn't started construction yet! Each family can indeed buy a house." Zhang Guotao replied with a smile.

"This is incredible! Only Zhangjialing Village is rich. I heard that a half price of a house can cost tens of thousands!" Wei Yuncai was very interested in the allocation of houses in Zhangjialing Village. rooming.

"Well, I bought an ancient street building in Yiyuan, and I plan to do some silk clothing business in the future. The whole yard cost 55 yuan. It is estimated that it will be completed in the second half of next year."

Zhang Guotao knows that he can't be humble now. He can feel that the relationship between this aunt and his future mother-in-law is not just as simple as a colleague. He didn't see that the other party has been telling his own words!
"This...is good! Then Auntie won't bother your family anymore, Auntie has to go shopping quickly!"

When seeing others are stronger than themselves, people's first reaction is that I will find a way to surpass you, but when the gap between two people is too large, the weaker side will find a way to cling to the strong.

"Then Section Chief Wei, go slowly!" Gou Xiaodan was very satisfied with Wei Yuncai's reaction, this was the first time she had seen him like this in more than 20 years.

"What's Chief Wei, Xiaodan, what's the relationship between us? You call me so estranged. You and your family, get in the car! It's cold! My old Song keeps saying that he wants Zhao and your old Tian to drink. When we have time, we Go to your house to bother me again."

Wei Yuncai spoke so kindly, she kept waving to Gou Xiaodan, and waited for Zhang Guotao's car to drive out of the gate of the community, and then he walked out from behind the big tree at the gate, looking at the black smoke from the rear of the jeep with a shocked expression on his face .

Gou Xiaodan sat in the back row with a happy face, his son walked around between her and his father strangely, touching the seat and windows, Tian Ailing lived in the co-pilot seat.

After leaving the city of Qin, the sky gradually brightened. Tian Ailing's mother felt a little uneasy when she thought of what happened just now.

"Guo Tao, is what you just said true? You said that you bought an ancient building in the film and television city for 55 yuan. Is the house under your name or your brother's name?"

Gou Xiaodan can say that because she already treats Zhang Guotao as her son-in-law. She knows that Zhang Guotao's brother is very capable, but his brother also wants to settle accounts. It's embarrassing.

"I separated from my family last year. Now I have a separate household with my brother, and my parents and younger siblings. I bought the house alone, but my brother lent me some money." Zhang Guotao returned.

"You mother-in-law, why are you asking these things? What's wrong with Zhang Guodong's own brother? Guotao, I heard that you are helping your brother manage the mechanical fleet."

Tian Ailing's father said it was nothing, but in fact he wanted to remind Zhang Guotao to think about himself, don't end up being Zhang Guodong's, Zhang Guotao has nothing to do.

"Uncles and aunts, I understand what you mean. We have 9 front-facing houses in Yongkang County Trade City, and the monthly rent is more than 6. I also take care of the machinery at home. I am studying business management. I can do it in two years at most. Pay off my brother's money, uncles and aunts, you don't have to worry."

After listening to Zhang Guotao's words, Tian Ailing's parents were relieved, but Tian Ailing was unwilling.

"I feel like this is pretty good. I don't want to be so tiring to be a rich person! Guotao and I earn close to [-] yuan a year in salary alone, and he also pays dividends from the village every year! It's enough for the two of us to spend. For a few years, when I didn’t want to sing in the troupe, I went back to Zhangjialing Village, Zhangjialing can also sing, and I don’t like going out to sing with the troupe.” Tian Ailing said.

"That won't work. You are the pillar of your group. If you don't have such a bright future, why don't you go? You don't know how many people envy you. Is it easy for your father and I to train you up to now?"

Gou Xiaodan became furious when he heard it, why not go to the troupe?

"Mother of the child, tell me you have such a temper! I think my daughter's thoughts are very good. After marriage, they can't be separated as a young couple! Guotao must not leave Zhangjialing. How can I let Ailing live in Chang'an alone?" Besides, it’s not safe for a girl to go out to perform all day long.”

Hearing her husband's words, Gou Xiaodan remembered that her daughter was about to marry, and after she got married, he couldn't control her like this.I hoped that my daughter would become more and more popular in the Qin Opera Troupe, not because of making more money. After marriage, Zhang Guotao's family definitely didn't want her daughter to show up in public all day long.

When Zhang Guotao heard that the future mother-in-law stopped talking suddenly, he seemed a little depressed. He himself knew how difficult it was for Tian Ailing's parents to raise her up to now. If he made his girlfriend give up everything about her because of him, it was not what he wanted.

"I think what Auntie said is right. Ai Ling is now a famous actress in Qin Opera. Uncle and Aunt have trained you for so long and said to give up. What's more, if you stop singing, won't Qin Opera lose a powerful actor? In the future If you don’t run far away, don’t run around! If you stay in Chang’an and want to go home, you can ask for leave and come back, and we don’t ask for that little salary, you can just go to the travel company or the farm to manage the accounts.”

After listening to Zhang Guotao's words, Gou Xiaodan felt at ease. Tian Ailing also realized that what she said just now hurt her parents. Her father said that because she loved her too much, and she shouldn't say that she gave up the troupe in front of them.

When the bus arrived in Yongkang County, half of the bridge in the ditch in Yongkang County was under repair. Looking at the bridge of more than 20 meters, we knew that the scale of the road construction would not be small. When we arrived in Ganjing Township, many people were riding bicycles towards Zhangjialing. There will be a lot of people going to Zhangjialing Village during the festival.

At the intersection of Guanlu, Gou Xiaodan knew that Zhangjialing Village had arrived when he saw the beautiful small western-style buildings. How could ordinary villages build so many beautiful houses.

The car went all the way to the door of Zhang Guotao's house, and Zhang Guotao's family, including Zhang Guodong, were waiting for the arrival of Tian Ailing's family at the door.

Zhang Guotao parked the car in front of the house, and Hu Yuee opened the rear door with a smile on her face.

The two families were polite, and Gou Xiaodan was relieved when she saw Zhang Guotao's family dressed in ordinary clothes. She was afraid that Zhang Guotao's family would be like the family on TV, and she would not be able to get along with that kind of in-laws with many rigid rules.

The two families were very friendly when they met for the first time. Tian Ailing's parents are both commodity grains and seem to be from the city. Zhang Chenglin and Hu Yue'e are simple rural people. Everyone is very chatty.

"Auntie, you have made so many delicious dishes! I want to take my parents to eat mutton steamed buns!" Tian Ailing was used to Zhang Guotao's house. She saw some exquisite cold dishes and some exquisite fried eggs on the table. The appearance of the pot is obviously made with care.

Gou Xiaodan just wanted to teach his daughter not to be polite, but when he saw Zhang Guotao's parents loving and pampering Tian Ailing, he couldn't say anything (Tian Ailing's words also meant politeness, and there was no need to make breakfast too formal).

"Son, go to your fourth grandpa's house and bring some bowls of mutton steamed buns, and let your uncles and aunts taste the mutton steamed buns at Guanlukou." Zhang Chenglin said to Zhang Guodong and Zhang Guotao while calling Tian Ailing's family to sit down.

"I'll go, I'll go..."

Zhang Xiaoyue hurriedly raised her hands and ran out of the yard, Zhang Guorui followed behind the fourth sister, Tian Chao also wanted to play along but saw the delicious food in front of her and hesitated.

Not long after Zhang Xiaoyue went out, Uncle Jiu brought over 6 bowls of mutton steamed buns with two workers, and the meat inside was obviously much more than usual.

Uncle Zhang Guodong came after breakfast, and the uncle was waiting at the house of his second son, Leslie Cheung, early in the morning. Today, he has an important task to be a matchmaker for Zhang Guotao.
