Xiao Tang also glanced at his mother and was actually worried.
At this time, Xu Yu patted the back of her hand.
When Xiao Tang looked at her, Xu Yu said to her, "Don't worry. If the enemy comes, we will fight him. If the water comes, we will block it. As long as she can make a request, it will be a good thing for you and my second brother."
Xu Yu's words suddenly woke Xiao Tang up.
Yes, if my mother makes a request, no matter how much the betrothal gift is, even if Xu Jianping can’t give it, don’t we still have her and Xiaoyu?
Not to mention Xiaoyu, she has kept all the extra money she earned in the past year or so for herself, which is already a lot. Even if her mother asks for a huge sum of money, she can still give it out.
Even if Xu Jianping doesn't want her money, will Xiaoyu and the others just sit there and do nothing?
Thinking of this, she finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in her heart.
At half past five, their meals were delivered from the furniture factory canteen.
The dishes are quite rich.
Director Wu really took out the wine he brought back from Haicheng and shared it with everyone.
Halfway through the drinks, Director Wu discussed the current climate. "If you were to visit Haicheng, you'd see how much greater convenience the relaxed national policies have brought to everyone. These policies will surely be implemented nationwide soon. At that time, anyone with both the drive and the ability will be among the first to benefit. So, you young people should strive to break into the industry and work hard."
Xiao Tang and the others nodded subconsciously, obviously inspired by Director Wu's words.
Xu Yu couldn't help but give Director Wu a thumbs up.
It will be difficult for people with such vision not to succeed in the future.
In particular, Director Wu’s attitude towards Jiang Yi is really good.
I will never forget to thank Jiang Yi for his recommendation.
He clinked glasses with Jiang Yi and said, "Comrade Jiang, if it weren't for your help and recommendation, our furniture factory wouldn't be where it is today. I and all the employees of the furniture factory will never forget this kindness. No matter what happens in the future, just tell me, and I, Wu, will go through fire and water to help you."
Wu Zhixiang also raised his glass and said, "Comrade Jiang, I've heard my father often mention your heroic deeds. You have always been the one I admire most. I toast to you."
Jiang Yi picked up his glass, clinked it with the father and son, and said, "It's just a small favor to help. The real help lies in Director Wu's ability."
Then he added, "Director Wu is right. The policies will become more and more liberal. As long as you have the ability and the courage to take risks, you will be the first to benefit. Xiaoyu and I will..."
Having said that, he glanced at Xu Jianping.
Then he added: "We will fully support Jianping in building his own career."
This has been made very clear. He will fully support Xu Jianping. There is no possibility of failure, only success. If Mother Tang still has any opinions about him, it means she is confused.
When Tang's father heard this, he hurriedly pulled Tang's mother's clothes under the table, picked up his wine glass, and said with a smile: "Chunling has always been the pride of her mother and me. She has been excellent since she was a child and has never caused us any worries. We also trust her vision."
After saying that, he also encouraged Xu Jianping a few words.
Xu Jianping was encouraged by Tang's father and was very excited. He immediately picked up his glass and drank with them.
Others also stood on Xu Jianping's side.
Mother Tang instantly became the one being isolated, which made her already irritable heart even more irritable.
She felt that she was just a mother who loved her child and didn't want her child to take a wrong step.
What did she do wrong?
Many country people are bad and have bad hearts. What if my daughter suffers after marrying there?
But no one understood her concerns.
She gripped the chopsticks tightly in her hand, so tightly that she almost broke them.
But what my brother said at noon is still echoing in my ears.
He said, "Our two families want to live a better life. In the future, we will need Comrade Jiang's help in many areas. Chunling and Jianping are in love with each other. You also have Yuzhe. Even if you don't think about Chunling, don't you think about Yuzhe?"
"With Comrade Jiang's future support, our furniture factory has the potential to become the best in the country. Our children's future is limitless. You offended Comrade Jiang and hurt Chunling's feelings just because of your prejudice against country people. That's simply foolish."
After thinking about it for the whole afternoon, she really didn't dare to offend Comrade Jiang.
If nothing else, she has her children's future.
But she still felt a little uncomfortable.
She was so upset that she didn't want to say a word.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, and Mrs. Wu and her two daughters had poured tea for everyone, it was finally time to talk about the two young men.
Jiang Yi said, "None of our elders are here today. Xiaoyu and I, as Jianping's family, along with Director Wu's family, are here. Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang can directly tell us what you want from Jianping."
Xu Jianping immediately stated: "No matter what you ask for, I will do my best to meet it."
After the two finished speaking, everyone looked at Tang's father and mother.
After being scolded by Director Wu, Mr. Tang knew that he could not let his wife do whatever she wanted. In addition, everyone discussed it at noon and felt that as long as Xu Jianping could meet the betrothal gift requirements of an ordinary family in the county, it would be fine.
So he first emphasized their love for Xiao Tang and said that it was not easy to raise her to be so outstanding.
"We hope that even if she gets married, she will not put her family first and work hard with her uncle."
Xu Jianping nodded immediately: "That's for sure. Not only will I support Xiao Tang's career, my family will support it too."
Xu Yu continued, "Our eldest sister-in-law has been working at the city supply and marketing cooperative since she graduated from university. Even after giving birth, she will return to work after her maternity leave. Our parents will help take care of the child, so you don't have to worry about our family hindering Xiao Tang's career."
Tang's father nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's good that you can do this. Then there's the betrothal gift. Actually, it's a bit early to talk about it now. We want the two young people to get to know each other more."
Xu Yu: "We all agree on this. It would be better for Second Brother and Xiao Tang to date for a few months before discussing engagement and marriage. However, we live in the countryside after all, and you won't be able to see Second Brother's efforts, so we hope you can first tell him what you want from him and what you want in terms of the betrothal gift. That way, he'll know how to work hard."
Xu Jianping nodded quickly.
Tang's father was very satisfied and said, "We hope that you can at least have your own brick house."
Xu Jianping nodded.
Tang's father: "In our city, the betrothal gift is 600 yuan plus three turns and one ring."
Xu Jianping: "Okay."
Xu Jianping agreed so readily that Mr. Tang had nothing more to say and was just about to state these requirements.
Unexpectedly, Tang's mother suddenly spoke, her voice still sharp and uncontrollable: "With Chunling's current salary, our family can't meet the wedding gift requirements of ordinary families in the county."
These words made the air stagnant for a moment.
Xiao Tang frowned and called her out sadly, "Mom!"
Tang's mother didn't look at her, but stared at Xu Jianping and said, "The betrothal gift is one thousand yuan, plus three turns and two rings, and..."
Director Wu couldn't stand it any longer and called her in a deep voice, "Little sister!"
Tang's father also hurriedly scolded her: "Zhifang, that's enough!"
Mother Tang glared at them with red eyes and was about to get angry.
Xu Jianping spoke calmly at this time: "Aunt Tang, please speak."
At this moment, everyone subconsciously looked at Xu Yu and Jiang Yi.
Both of them had calm expressions, so calm that it made them feel a little uneasy.
Tang's father grabbed Tang's mother's hand and said domineeringly: "Zhifang's mind is a little confused today, so just follow the request I just made."
When Mother Tang heard this, her eyes became terribly red and she wanted to speak.
Father Tang held her hand even tighter.
The atmosphere immediately became tense.
At this time, Xu Jianping said: "I agree to Aunt Tang's request."
Xiao Tang looked at him fiercely, his eyes red with anger: "Jianping, you..."
Xu Jianping smiled soothingly at her and shook his head, asking her to be quiet. Then he said seriously to Tang's father and mother, "But I hope you can give me more time to make money. I definitely won't be able to make that much this year."
Xu Yu was a little unhappy and wanted to argue with someone.
But her hand was held by Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi shook his head at her and told her with his eyes: Don't get angry first, see what Mr. Tang's attitude is.
Only then did Xu Yu suppress his anger and pursed his lips.
Father Tang glanced at Xu Jianping, then at Jiang Yi. He knew that if his wife said any more, she would really offend Jiang Yi. He said forcefully, "We are marrying our daughter, not selling her. How can we ask for such a high betrothal gift? Just do as I said. It's not easy for you young people to make money. As long as you are motivated, you will be fine."
After he finished speaking, Director Wu and Mrs. Wu immediately agreed and said that it was good enough.
No matter how unwilling Mother Tang was, she could not become an enemy of her husband's elder brother and the others. She could only shut up and sulk in her heart.
