Chapter 182 What are they doing here? They are here for a blind date, my dear~
"Hello, sister!"

"I'm looking for Teacher Dong!"

"We made an appointment!"

The lights and sounds of the car have prompted the people in the farmyard to open the red iron gate of the yard.

Seeing the door open,

It was a woman who looked to be in her thirties, and Zhang Puru had already taken the initiative to walk up to her.

"what?"

look up,

Seeing Zhang Puru's appearance, the woman who opened the door couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

As a graduate student of a 211 university, at the prime age of 25, after four years of university and three years of graduate school experience, Zhang Puru has become a very fashionable person.

Zhang Li is the elder brother.
So I don’t pay much attention to my sister’s appearance.

But actually,
Although his sister Zhang Puru is not a top beauty, she is also an above-average beauty with a score of 80.

Coupled with the scent of books brought about by graduate school life, Zhang Puru surprised the woman who opened the door as soon as she walked up to talk to him.

The woman is Teacher Dong's sister.
She had just returned to her parents' home for less than half an hour and had no idea that her brother had already made an appointment with Zhang Puru in advance.

just,

She was still a little stunned when she saw Zhang Puru, such a delicate and bookish woman, knocking on the door and saying she was looking for her brother.

and,

Sister Dong also saw it,
In the quiet little village, Zhang Puru's car and the noise caused several neighboring dogs to bark.

Because of the barking of the dog, some people from the neighboring house even came out to look over...

"Rolls-Royce??"

While his sister was greeting him, Zhang Li had already opened the trunk and pulled out a few bags of fruit.

When Zhang Li opened the trunk and stood up the car logo, someone exclaimed at the door of the neighbor's house next door.

This is a young man who went home early to celebrate the New Year.
Sister Dong doesn’t know Rolls-Royce, but the young people do!

"come on in!"

Seeing that many people from the neighboring houses were looking over, Sister Dong was shocked and quickly asked Zhang Li and Zhang Puru to come in.

Although the kind and friendly Sister Dong did not know Zhang Li and his sister,
But they were carrying gifts,

And he looked like a respectable person, so she chose to let him in first.

"Yonghui!"

"Your friend is here!"

After inviting Zhang Li and his sister into the house, Sister Dong hurriedly shouted something into the house.

then,

A man wearing an apron, with his sleeves rolled up, a slightly square head and his hands dipped in water, poked his head out from the kitchen not far away.

Teacher Dong's courtyard is like many farmhouses in the north. The main gate faces south, and there are several main rooms facing north and south, as well as several east and west rooms. The overall structure is similar to a quadrangle courtyard.

now,

Teacher Dong, who was called out, walked out from the kitchen in the corner of the east room.

"what?"

"Student Zhang? Mr. Zhang?"

"Why are you so early?"

"Didn't you say you'd arrive in the evening?"

Seeing that it was only 6:30 in the afternoon, Teacher Dong did not expect that Zhang Li and Zhang Puru would arrive so early.

He clearly remembered,
When Zhang Puru made an appointment with him before, he said the time would be around 10 o'clock in the evening.

"Ah...hello, Teacher Dong!"

"We're ahead of schedule!"

Seeing that Teacher Dong was curious, Zhang Puru quickly took over the conversation.

In the afternoon, Zhang Li didn't know what time the meeting would end, so when he asked Zhang Pu to meet him as scheduled, he told him to arrive in the evening, and he would definitely arrive even before 12 o'clock in the evening.

Because of the 12 o'clock statement, Teacher Dong thought that the two would arrive at around o'clock in the evening at the earliest.

Teacher Dong didn't expect that the two would arrive so early.

After receiving a call from Zhang Puru in the afternoon, Teacher Dong knew what Zhang Li and his sister were going to do.

He did not accept Zhang Li's invitation last time.

but,

Zhang Li was very grateful and liked the "Yongle Encyclopedia" that someone had sent to him before.

Also because of this,

Teacher Dong felt that Zhang Puru's behavior of visiting her home directly was very presumptuous, inappropriate, and strange.

But under Zhang Puru's strong request, he agreed.

Another reason why Mr. Dong agreed to do this was,
Because in the morning,
His company, New Century Training Group, just released an announcement that it would enter the live streaming e-commerce industry.

Teacher Dong also remembers,
The last time Zhang Li invited him to join was a live streaming e-commerce company.

Such a thing,
Teacher Dong was still quite curious.

He didn't know whether this was a coincidence or Zhang Li knew something in advance.

Anyway,

As soon as the company announced its entry into the live streaming e-commerce industry this morning, Teacher Dong was confused.

and,

He also received a notice from his leader in the afternoon saying that he would go to Beijing to work after the New Year, and after receiving training, he would also be a candidate for anchor.

This is the most important reason why Teacher Dong agreed to meet Zhang Li.

He wanted to ask,
You can tell from the tension that he is suitable to be a host.

Because of the company’s announcement in the morning, Teacher Dong downloaded Doushou and took a look at how the live streamers were selling products.

He saw it,

The anchors screamed hysterically:
"Brothers, I have lowered the price!"

"Twenty-nine dollars and nine cents for 10 packs of high-humidity facial tissues. Is that enough? If not, add another pack! Add another pack! Add another pack! Still not enough? Add more!"

"My friends, this is something I carefully selected. It's the best thing in the universe!"
.
Teacher Dong feels that he cannot adapt to the way the anchors sell products.

He is not that kind of person!

He didn't understand why Zhang Li was so sure that he could bring good goods.

They even offered such a high signing fee to poach me!
"What are you standing there for?"

"Hurry up and catch your friend's stuff!"

While Zhang Puru was talking to Teacher Dong,

A woman in her fifties, dressed simply and with a kind face, came out of the kitchen.

Before Teacher Dong responded to Zhang Puru, the woman with a kind face, who could be recognized at a glance as Dong Yonghui's mother, quickly stepped forward and took the things from Zhang Li's hand.

Zhang Li is holding something in his hand.

Except for a few bags of fruit purchased by Zhang Puru.

He also took two bottles of Maozi, two packs of Huazi and two bags of tea from the trunk of the car.

These things were all stolen goods returned by the Renxin Group, and then they were stuffed into the trunk of Han Huiqin's car when she was taking over the house.

Just now, Zhang Li opened the trunk and picked up a few things.

"Please come in quickly!"

"Please come in quickly!"

Before Teacher Dong could respond, Mrs. Dong had already warmly invited him into the living room of the main house which faced north and south.

Although I don’t know what Zhang Li and the other person do.

But looking at Zhang Puru's delicate and quiet face, and seeing the similarities between Zhang Li and Zhang Puru's faces, and seeing his son greeting Zhang Puru.

Mother Dong immediately invited the person into the house.

"Gotta~"

Dong Yonghui, who did not ask why Zhang Li and his sister arrived so early, could only shake his hands, take off his apron, and follow them into the guest room under his mother's manipulation.

He was helping his mother prepare dinner just now.

My sister's family is going out to play during the Chinese New Year, so his family has a reunion dinner in advance for the whole family to get together.

now,

It’s just time for dinner!
"Hello, Auntie. My name is Zhang Puru, and this is my brother Zhang Li. We are here to discuss work matters with Teacher Dong!"

After entering the guest room, Zhang Puru was warmly invited to sit on the sofa and introduced herself.

"Oh! Good! Good! Good!"

"What a pretty girl!"

"Let's have dinner together~"

Listening to Zhang Puru's voice, Mother Dong felt unusually happy for some reason.

quickly,

After washing the fruit and pouring the tea,
Mother Dong quickly returned to the kitchen and continued to work.

There were only three people left in the living room - Zhang Li, Zhang Puru and Teacher Dong.

"Teacher Dong, I'm sorry I was a bit presumptuous!"

"I didn't expect that your family has a dinner party today..."

Finally I met Teacher Dong.

Although the scene and timing were a little inappropriate because of the rush.

But there is no other way.
We still have to talk about the serious business.

Zhang Li first expressed his apologies.

"It's okay, let's eat together, just add a pair of chopsticks!"

"It's okay! It's a common occurrence!"

"I haven't thanked Mr. Zhang for sending me the Yongle Encyclopedia yet!"

Although it is a family dinner tonight, it is indeed a bit inappropriate for Zhang Li and his sister to come.

But as the saying goes, it's all here.

A visitor is a guest,
Out of courtesy, Teacher Dong had to treat the two of them to dinner. Faced with Zhang Li's apology, he could only say that it was no big deal.

Simultaneously,

He also thanked Zhang Li in person for the rare book he had sent to him.

"As long as you like it!"

"Teacher Dong, then I will not play tricks on you and just tell you directly!"

"I still want to invite you to join my live streaming company. Let me show you our company information. Our company will start its first live streaming at 8 o'clock in the evening! I really sincerely invite you to join our company."

After a few polite words of courtesy,
Zhang Ting directly expressed his attitude.

Although this is a bit straightforward.

but,

Having already met Teacher Dong once and being familiar with his personality that did not like to beat around the bush, Zhang Li did not beat around the bush at all.

What Zhang Li didn't expect was that
Facing his question, Teacher Dong did not give an answer, but asked back:
"Is Mr. Zhang so anxious this time because of the notice our company issued this morning?"

I glanced at Teacher Dong.

Zhang Li nodded without hesitation: "Yes, there is a reason. Your chairman, Mr. Yu, and I think we think alike!"

"Teacher Dong, please take a look at our company's structure, personnel, planning, and goals!"

While nodding in response,
Zhang Li handed over all the printed introduction materials of his Dafei live streaming sales company.

"Teacher Dong, you are also from the countryside!"

"The purpose of our company is to help farmers. 95% of the products sold through live streaming will be agricultural and sideline products!"

"As a rural kid, you know it's very difficult to promote agricultural products!"

"But I am willing to invest!" Seeing that Teacher Dong really took the information and began to look through it carefully.

Zhang Li's eyes lit up, and he started to explain the company's strategic goals that Teacher Dong was looking at on the first few pages of the document...

Wow~
then,

The whole living room fell into silence.

Zhang Li and Zhang Puru drank tea quietly.
And Mr. Dong,

Looking through Zhang Li’s live streaming company information…

"what's the situation??"

"Moutai, Zhonghua cigarettes, and Biluochun are all here? Such high-end products??"

30 meters away,

Dong's Kitchen,

Dong's father, who was making pancakes in the kitchen, put the gift he took from Zhang Li on the table at the kitchen door and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

Moutai and Huazi,
Dong's father had only heard of it but had never bought or drunk it.

Dong's father didn't show up just now because he was checking the heat of the pancakes, but he saw that it was sent by his son's friend.

He just didn't expect,

The visitor actually brought such a high-end bunch of gifts.

"dad!"

"I just heard Tiezhu next door shouting that the car those two were driving was also a luxury car!"

Sister Dong followed him into the kitchen and added a sentence.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Add food!"

"The food we prepared is not enough. Old man, go to town and buy some more food!"

While Father Dong and Sister Dong were chatting,
Mrs. Dong, the head of the family, waved her hand and asked Mr. Dong to buy more vegetables.

"There are so many dishes, why add more?"

Hearing what his wife said, Dong's father was stunned.

Tonight, they and their daughter's family are having a reunion dinner for the Chinese New Year. Their daughter's family is going out for a trip this year, so they can't have the reunion dinner, so they moved it forward to today.

Today, in addition to the old couple, there are also their eldest son, second son, and eldest daughter and her family of three.

They had prepared a lot of food.

Even if two more people come in now, there will definitely be enough food.

He didn't understand why he had to buy groceries.

"Cut the nonsense!"

"Go, buy more!"

"Buy the good ones! Buy the expensive ones, buy the meat and vegetables!!"

Seeing the old man's surprise, Dong's mother took out ten hundred-dollar bills and stuffed them into Dong's father's hand.

"what??"

The most he got for buying groceries was 100 yuan. Dong's father didn't expect that his wife would give him a full 1000 yuan this time.

Holding a huge sum of 1000 yuan,

Father Dong is a bit dumb...

"what's the situation!!??"

Seeing his wife's shining eyes, Dong's father was filled with surprise.

what's going on?
The two guests are the leaders of the eldest son’s company. Can they decide his promotion and position?

So we have to entertain well?

"You do not understand!"

After looking at her old man, Dong's mother did not explain, but waved her hand and asked Dong's father to go buy things quickly.

"mom!"

"what are you doing??"

the other side,
Sister Dong didn't understand what her mother was doing.

It’s just a guest, just add a pair of chopsticks!

is this necessary?

If you have 1000 yuan for groceries, would you rather buy a pig or a sheep?

"it is good!"

"I'll tell you, and you listen!"

Seeing her daughter and old man in the kitchen, all of them were surprised and didn't understand what she was doing, Mother Dong said helplessly.

You are such blockheads!
When can I see clearly?

Can you guys please take care of my big son? !
"I ask you, what day is today?"

Mother Dong asked seriously after wiping her hands on her apron.

"The twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month?"

Father Dong gave a strange answer.

"Our family dinner day?"

Sister Dong also gave an answer out of curiosity.

"What do you mean by the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month? Get out of here!"

"Yes, today is our family's gathering day, which means all of us are here together. What do you think Yonghui meant by suddenly inviting guests over at this time of meal?"

Mother Dong glanced at the door and suddenly lowered her voice.

"What do you mean?"

Both Dong's father and sister were curious.

Mother Dong: "This shows that these two people are very important to my eldest son!"

Father Dong: "Why is it important?"

Dong's mother: "Why is it so important? What does it mean for Yonghui to invite outsiders to such an important day?"

Father Dong: "Is there a very important task?"

Dong's mother: "Impossible! Nowadays, we all have phones and video calls. How can we have important work that requires face-to-face discussions? And it's late at night. Have you ever seen anyone visit someone's home at dinner time?"

Father Dong: “Where is it???”

Sister Dong: “Where is it???”

Mother Dong's mysterious actions and words immediately attracted the attention of the two people next to her.

"So, I guess this girl might be dating Yonghui, and then she comes here to look after the house!!!"

As the two stared in amazement, Mother Dong said something that made their pupils instantly dilate.

"What??"

"What??"

The words of the mother and wife made the two people next to them react and exclaim in an instant.

"Keep your voice down!!"

Startled, Mother Dong quickly patted the two men on the shoulders.

"That's impossible! If you want to watch the house, just watch it openly! Why are you doing it in secret and not telling us directly? This is impossible!"

After a few seconds,
Sister Dong objected.

"it is good!"

"Then I'll tell you again!"

"Tell me, two bottles of Maotai, two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, and two packs of high-end Biluochun tea, what was this gift for?"

Seeing that the two of them did not believe it,

Mother Dong still has evidence.

"Okay, besides the gifts, you just saw that girl named Zhang Puru, she is obviously still in college, or she has just graduated. If Yonghui Company really has something going on, is it possible to let such a young girl come to talk to her face to face?"

Mother Dong gave another reason.

"besides!"

"Even if this girl comes here to ask why she brought her brother here? Or, her brother is a colleague of Yonghui and came here to talk about work in person. Then why did he bring his sister here?"

Mother Dong continued to give reasons.

"Dong Yonghui! You are so heartless! How dare you lie to your mother like this!"

Glancing at her husband and daughter who seemed to be wavering, Dong's mother couldn't help but complain.

The reason why she immediately thought that Zhang Puru was her son Dong Yonghui's girlfriend was because
Apart from these things,
the most important is,

My son is already 29 years old, which is considered an older single man in the village.

When her eldest son came back this time, she certainly did not give up urging him to get married.

In response to her urgent questioning, the eldest son gave her the answer: I have it, I have it, I will bring it back to you to see it some other day.

Mother Dong took her son's perfunctory words seriously and was always thinking about this matter.

Also because of this,

At this moment, due to a combination of various reasons such as meal time, family gathering, Maozi Huazi tea, Zhang brothers and sisters, and Zhang Puru being very young.

Mother Dong immediately concluded that Zhang Puru was actually there to look after the house.

then,

My son might be performing for me because I urged him to do so before!
"Go!!!"

Mother Dong was very excited. Although she was scolding her son, she was actually very excited inside. After explaining her thoughts, she directly pushed her shocked husband.

"Oh, oh, good!!!"

After being pushed by his wife, Dong's father also became excited.

Whether it's true or not.

But now that I have analyzed it this way, we must take it seriously regardless of whether it is true or not.

What if it’s true!

He took another look at the thatched cottage cheese, Chinese wolfberry and tea leaves at the door, which were gifts for engagement in their area.

Father Dong immediately left the house to buy more things...

"Mom, is this true?"

"Don't mess around!"

"Do you want to ask around to confirm first?!"

My father left.

Although Sister Dong felt that her mother's analysis made sense, she still thought it was a bit strange.

What kind of girl?
When I accompanied my boyfriend to meet his parents for the first time, I brought my brother along, and we played like this!

Young people like to have fun.
But it’s not that crazy!

Besides, my eldest brother has always been steady and would never do such a thing!
"You heard me right!"

"Even if she's not, I think that girl obviously doesn't have a boyfriend, so you can talk to my son about it!"

Dong's mother, who has the final say at home, asked her daughter to stop talking.

It doesn't matter if you guess wrong.

Anyway,

She likes the girl's well-behaved and gentle appearance!
"Okay, as long as you like it..."

After hearing her mother say this, Sister Dong no longer insisted.

She shrugged and called her husband, daughter and second brother to go home.

She was at home preparing dinner with her parents and older brother.
My husband, my second brother, and my daughter went to the county town for fun.

It’s almost time for dinner, time to go back…
