Chapter 212: Which is more expensive, a gold bracelet or a gold ring?
"What??"
With her son by her side, Zhang's mother was in a very good mood and was about to cook.
But when she suddenly heard her son's words, she immediately dropped all the work in her hands.
What's the point of eating!
What kind of New Year is this?
What my son said is the most important thing!
She dropped the spatula and ignored the food she was simmering in the pot. She grabbed her son's arm and said:
"Are you telling the truth?"
Mother Zhang was very excited.
"Mom! Mom! Look in the pot!"
"There's still vegetables frying in the pot!!"
Zhang Li didn't expect that his mother would be so excited after hearing the news about him that she even ignored the dish she was cooking.
Helpless tension,
I could only step forward quickly, grab the handle of the pot, and complete the second half of the cooking process.
then,
By the time Zhang Li turned off the fire and served the dishes, Zhang's mother was already stamping her feet in anxiety.
"Mom, it's true!"
"Let me tell you, do you remember last time I said I would take Pu Ru with me to Tongguan?"
"The last time I went to Tongguan, it was for Puru to go on a blind date. The person I went on a blind date with was Teacher Dong, the anchor of my company!"
"Teacher Dong's parents are similar to you and my dad. They also like Puru very much!"
finally,
After serving the dishes,
Zhang Li knew that if he didn't speak up, he would be beaten by his mother.
He quickly said what he had just said to his mother.
And he had thought carefully before telling his mother about his sister.
Teacher Dong's parents all knew about it, and he felt that out of courtesy and equality, his own parents should also know about it.
"Teacher Dong?"
"Quick! Bring me my phone!!"
Zhang's mother was very excited when she suddenly heard that her daughter, whom she was so worried about, was actually taken to a blind date by her son last time.
I heard that the blind date was Teacher Dong.
Zhang's mother, who watched her son's company's live broadcast every day, had a slight impression of Mr. Dong, the clean and elegant young man.
now,
When Zhang's mother heard her son say that his blind date was Teacher Dong, she hurriedly took out her cell phone to check.
"Don't worry, Teacher Dong won't be on the air until 2pm!!"
Seeing my mother's anxious look,
Zhang Li replied with a smile.
but,
Although Teacher Dong was not on the live broadcast, this did not stop Zhang's mother from quickly opening Douyin and searching for Teacher Dong's live broadcast clips...
"Oh, this guy looks pretty good!!"
Originally, Zhang's mother paid attention to Teacher Dong only because he was the anchor of her son's company.
Hearing that Teacher Dong was on a blind date with her daughter, Zhang's mother watched Teacher Dong's video more seriously.
Watching Teacher Dong’s videos, she quickly developed a feeling that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the better he looks…
"mom!"
"I'm just telling you, I'm worried about this!!"
"So during the Chinese New Year, don't ask Puru about this anymore. Don't make random promises to others to introduce Puru to a blind date or something like that!"
Seeing my mother's excitement,
Zhang Li said again.
"Good good!"
"no problem!"
"Can you tell me who is in Teacher Dong's family, what is his education background, and what he did before?"
"Tell me the details!"
While Zhang's mother continued to watch the video without raising her head, she hurriedly began to investigate the household registration.
"Mom, I've already told you that his family is similar to ours!"
"Also, don't ask Puru! She doesn't know about this yet! Last time I took her to a blind date, everyone knew about it except her!"
“It’s all done in secret!”
Seeing my mother's excitement,
Zhang Li pointed out the most important point.
"what??"
"she does not know?"
"What kind of dating is that?"
"What are you playing?"
"You two brothers, you won't team up to deceive me, right?"
If the girl on the blind date doesn’t know about the blind date, then what’s the point of the blind date!
After hearing what my son said,
Zhang's mother suddenly felt that her son's words were a bit unreliable.
She seemed happy for nothing!
"It's true! I'm not lying to you!"
"The experience is a bit special, I can't explain it clearly for a while, just know that it's really a blind date!"
"Let me show you the chat records between me, Teacher Dong, Teacher Dong's mother, and Teacher Dong's sister!"
"There's evidence for all this!"
"Also, let me tell you, I am very optimistic about Mr. Dong's live streaming sales!"
Seeing that his mother didn't believe him, Zhang Li took out his mobile phone and showed her some chat records.
When Zhang's mother saw Zhang Li's chat records, the doubts that had just arisen in her mind were quickly suppressed.
"Okay, I don't want to cook anymore!"
“You do it!”
"I'm going to watch the video and see the live streaming of the products!"
What Zhang Li didn't expect was that
He had just convinced his mother about his sister's blind date, but suddenly his mother stopped cooking and went to watch the video of her future son-in-law.
This will eliminate the tension.
I just accompanied my mother to prepare ingredients for the New Year.
He chatted a lot with his mother about family matters.
although,
In order to avoid putting pressure on him, his mother did not mention anything about his marriage, children, etc.
but,
He still could tell that his mother cared about and took the matter seriously.
because,
In order to relieve his mother's pressure, Zhang Li finally decided to tell his mother about his sister's blind date to make her feel better.
But he didn't expect,
In the end, my mother was so excited that she didn't even cook.
I just gave him all the responsibility of cooking for the New Year.
"Brother? What's wrong?"
"Did you piss off mom?"
Zhang Li shrugged helplessly and decided to take care of himself.
Of course he has no problem cooking.
But he didn't expect,
One minute later,
His sister Zhang Puru rushed into the kitchen and asked him.
I was just chatting with my father about school and some plans for the future.
Zhang Puru did not expect that
Her mother came over and sat on the sofa, started playing with her cell phone, and even kicked her out.
Zhang Puru, who was waiting to have lunch, was a little confused by this.
She could only come over to ask Zhang Li what happened...
"no!"
"Come, help me and get the meal out quickly!"
After taking a look at his curious sister, Zhang Li shrugged without saying anything, and quickly focused his attention on cooking.
Wow~
after an hour,
A sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
It was finally served on the table.
Among the dozen or so dishes, there were five or six ready-made dishes such as meatballs, which were the result of Zhang Li and his mother's busy morning.
As for other stir-fried dishes and cold dishes,
It was all thanks to Zhang Li and his sister Zhang Puru that their hard work finally succeeded!
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!!"
"Happy New Year!!!"
The food is served.
Zhang Puru obediently poured drinks for her family, and the family clinked their glasses happily together!
"mom!"
"What on earth are you looking at?"
Midway through the meal,
The whole family was happy and relaxed.
But Zhang Puru found that her mother did not persuade her and her brother to eat more vegetables, but instead held her mobile phone and watched short videos while eating.
This is how my mother looks.
This is really the first time I’ve seen Zhang Puru!
This is so strange and so rare!
“Are you browsing my brother’s live streaming company’s live streaming room?”
A look at the probe,
Zhang Puru saw that her mother’s short video interface was actually the screen of Dafei’s live broadcast room.
Currently,
Everyone in the Zhang family knew that this live broadcast company belonged to Zhang Li.
When you are free,
The whole family will also watch the live broadcast.
But Zhang Pu had never heard of a mother staring at him like this!
Swish!
unfortunately,
Her questions received no answer at all.
Her mother did not leave her and her brother ignored her.
Even her father, who loved her the most, ignored her...
"You guys, are you hiding something from me?"
This strange scene made Zhang Puru marvel.
unfortunately,
Still no one paid any attention to her.
No one helped her answer her questions.
Continue eating.
Compared with previous years,
Three lively children are gone, and the sister-in-law whom Zhang Puru once didn’t like very much is gone.
family,
It was as if we were back to more than ten years ago, when Zhang Li was still not married.
The only weird thing about the table is,
It was the live broadcast playing on Zhang's mother's mobile phone on the table.
and,
While eating, Mr. Zhang would occasionally turn his head to glance at the live broadcast!
This is very strange!
"what??"
"Mom, what are you doing??"
"Will you still give rewards?"
"what are you doing???"
After half an hour,
When it was past 2 p.m., Zhang Puru turned her head and saw that her mother had started to give rewards through the live broadcast interface.
and,
One reward is a super rocket worth two thousand yuan!
as usual,
My mother saves even a few cents of water and electricity.
Even to buy eggs, you have to queue up early in the morning to buy the ones that are only two cents cheaper.
She didn't expect,
My mother actually gave rewards in the live broadcast room!
and,
One tip is a full two thousand yuan!
Although the reward was given to my brother’s company!
but,
Still, only half of the money will be deposited into the company account.
Including taxes, it might be 2000 yuan, and the final income to my brother's company is only a few hundred yuan!
Zhang Puru was instantly shocked by her mother's behavior!
what's going on?
Is my mom possessed?
"mom?"
"What are you doing? Are you calling Teacher Dong?"
"I know Mr. Dong. No need to give me a tip. I can invite him to have dinner with you some other day!"
After seeing my mother giving a reward,
There was even a barrage of comments saying "Come on, Teacher Dong!", which shocked Zhang Puru again.
She didn't expect her mother to give her a reward, she didn't expect her mother to give a reward to Teacher Dong, and she didn't expect her mother to post barrages of comments.
more importantly,
She saw it.
The name of my mother’s Douyin account is actually “Xiao Xiao Puru”!
This made Zhang Puru, who happened to know Teacher Dong,
Suddenly I feel a little panicked for some reason!
"Eat your food!"
"This money is the activity fund your brother gave me!"
"Specially for boosting the popularity of the live broadcast room!"
I glanced at my daughter.
Zhang's mother said quickly.
The son said that his daughter didn't know about this, and Zhang's mother didn't reveal it either.
The funds she mentioned were actually the 1000 million that Zhang Li transferred to Zhang's mother last time!
1000 million is too much money, and Zhang's mother didn't spend or touch it at all.
now,
this money
She gave the reward directly in Dafei’s live broadcast room.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
One rocket was not enough. When Zhang's mother saw Teacher Dong on the air, she liked Teacher Dong more and more, so she clicked several rockets in a row...
“Thanks to my friend for the rocket!”
“Thanks to my friend named…[Xiao Xiao Puru] for the rocket!”
the other side,
Teacher Dong just came on air.
He didn't expect that someone would send so many rockets.
Surprised, he looked at his colleague behind the camera, and when he saw his colleague shaking his head and saying that he was not the company's agent, he read out the name of the person who launched the rocket and thanked him.
then,
After the name is read,
Teacher Dong was also stunned. Last time,
Zhang Puru didn’t know about the blind date with Teacher Dong, but Teacher Dong knew!
When he saw the name "Xiao Xiao Puru" at this moment, he immediately thought of Zhang Puru.
and,
He himself is not very famous at the moment.
He also didn't think that any netizens were actively sending him rockets.
Suddenly, there were five or six big rockets in succession. Teacher Dong instantly determined that it was someone he knew - Zhang Puru.
These days, Teacher Dong has been concentrating on live streaming, working hard to learn and familiarize himself with the ways and methods of live streaming, and has not thought much about other things.
now,
It's New Year's Eve already.
After he finishes broadcasting his last wave, he will go home to celebrate the New Year with his family.
He didn't expect that
Zhang Puru actually gave him so many rockets.
This made Teacher Dong stunned for a moment.
But thinking about the work he still had to do, he quickly adjusted his state and continued the live broadcast as if nothing had happened...
.
"ah!!!"
"Is the one who swipes the rocket the girl from Puru?"
"The two of them have a long relationship!!"
"Great, great!"
"During the Chinese New Year, should we ask Dong Yonghui to go and pay New Year's greetings?"
More than 100 kilometers away in Tongguan,
The Dong family was also watching the live broadcast.
When Teacher Dong read out the ID of the person who gave the rocket reward,
Dong's mother, sister Dong, brother Dong and others were all excited.
They are just like Teacher Dong.
I also think that this was a reward from Zhang Puru, my last blind date partner.
Same situation as Zhang's mother.
When Dong's mother saw this situation, she suddenly felt that it didn't matter whether the year was over or not...
.
"Eat, eat!"
"Mom, just brush if you want!"
"Anyway, it can help increase the popularity and followers of the live broadcast room!"
at the dinner table,
Seeing his sister's extremely shocked expression, Zhang Li responded aloud.
He didn't expect it either.
I just mentioned to my mother that my sister was going on a blind date, and she reacted so strongly.
A person who would hesitate for a long time before spending a dollar, just launched several two thousand dollar rockets without blinking an eye.
and,
It seems that I still want to continue posting...
Wow~
I also saw my mother's drastic reaction after hearing about my sister's blind date.
Zhang Li also understood.
As the only male in the family, my mother actually worries more about my marriage.
but,
In order not to put pressure on herself, the mother did not show this.
but,
Through my mother's passion for my sister.
He could see from the side that his parents were worried about him...
"It's difficult!"
"It's difficult!"
unfortunately,
He can't help but make his parents worry about the things that worry them.
He has a system that activates the treasure hunting waiter by sleeping with a woman, so he can't get married at all at the moment.
Before the number of treasure hunters reaches the limit,
He can only be like Wang Siyu - just date but not get married!
There is no way!
If you get married,
Many things can’t be done!
Although I understand that my parents are worried about me.
But Zhang Li could only pretend not to understand...
"Come on, Dad, I'll toast you!"
"It's okay to drink less!"
After thinking for a while, Zhang Li wanted to have a drink with his father.
My father just recovered from a serious illness and can't drink too much, but one or two glasses are fine.
"it is good!"
After seeing that his wife and daughter had no objection, Zhang's father, who had been craving for wine for a long time, drank a glass with his son happily.
then,
A family of four, having a happy meal.
Live their own year.
although,
There are no longer three noisy children at the table as in previous years, but our family is still very happy.
Zhang's mother watched Teacher Dong's live broadcast.
While I was imagining this, Lu Ya Shi was right behind me.
The whole person's condition has also recovered visibly...
everything,
Everything is good!
Wow~
The meal ended up taking several hours.
At 16: in the afternoon, after Teacher Dong had broadcast for two hours, another anchor came online.
The family’s New Year’s Eve dinner is almost over.
Seeing Teacher Dong go off the air,
Only then did Zhang's mother turn off her cell phone. Seeing that the family had almost finished eating, she stood up with a smile on her face and started to clean up the dishes.
"I'll wash the dishes and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner tonight!"
"You three, go to your grandma's house and wish her a happy new year!"
"How late it is! The others arrived at 2:30!"
While cleaning up the dishes, Zhang's mother did not forget to urge the three people next to her.
Hearing what Zhang's mother said, Zhang Li and the other two couldn't help but roll their eyes.
So late,
It’s because you watched the live broadcast that made you eat slower.
but,
It is indeed a bit late.
Following Zhang's mother's voice, Zhang Li and the other two quickly took out the gifts that Zhang Puru had bought earlier, and then, led by Zhang's father, they quickly went out.
Since we are in the same village, there is no need to drive.
Three people walking,
It took less than half an hour to reach the yard where Grandma Zhang Li lived.
"grandmother!"
Arriving at the gate of the yard, Zhang Puru shouted and then pushed open the gate.
Wow~
As the yard opens,
A clean and hygienic farmyard comes into view.
As Zhang Puru's voice sounded, the door in the distance was pushed open.
"Old Five is here!"
"Puru and Zhang Li are here too!"
"Come in, come in!"
Someone pushed open the door and waved to them when he saw Zhang Li and the other two walking into the yard.
"Fourth sister-in-law!"
After Zhang's father shouted something to the person who greeted him, he quickly walked into the house.
After entering the house, there is a relatively large living room.
now,
There were quite a few people sitting in the living room.
When they saw Zhang Li and the other two come in, some people stood up to greet them, while others took a look and waved!
"mom!"
After looking around and greeting everyone, Mr. Zhang greeted an old man with silver hair but vigorous spirit sitting on a wooden chair at the bottom of the main hall.
"grandmother!"
"grandmother!"
Zhang Li and Zhang Puru followed their father and also greeted their grandmother.
Zhang Puru even ran to the old man and held his hand.
"Brother Li, come here and sit here!"
Zhang Puru was getting close to her grandmother, and someone called Zhang Li to sit over.
And Zhang Ting just walked over.
Father Zhang looked around, found a seat, and sat down quickly.
"Where's the baby?"
Zhang Li sat down and one of his cousins next to him asked.
It is understandable to the villagers that Zhang's mother and Zhang Li's wife did not come.
After all, she is my wife.
It is enough for Zhang Li's father to bring Zhang Li and Zhang Puru over.
but,
It’s strange that Zhang Li’s three kids didn’t come…
"The kid went to his grandma's house!"
After taking a look at his cousin, Zhang Li responded casually.
"Old Five, why did your family come so late this year?"
"What time is it!"
Not long after we sat down, someone suddenly asked.
As per past practice,
He should have come at 2pm.
This year, Zhang Li's family obviously came a little too late.
"Yeah, yeah, it's a little late!"
"I was delayed by something!"
After looking at the sister-in-law who asked the question, Zhang's father didn't say much.
now,
Many daughters-in-law did not come to pay New Year's greetings to their mother.
The ones who came were the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law.
Seeing his sister-in-law's look, Zhang's father understood that this was going to be trouble again.
Because my eldest sister-in-law's son makes a lot of money in business, every year at this time, my eldest sister-in-law would preside over the party. She would look after the brothers and sisters, show them concern, but actually scold them.
And because of her identity as the eldest son's wife.
therefore,
There is not much that can be said about this matter.
now,
After hearing what his sister-in-law said, Zhang's father understood that this was happening again!
"Zhang Li, you bought this for your grandma's New Year greetings?"
as predicted,
After the sister-in-law complained that Zhang Li's family came too late, she started talking about the gifts that Zhang Li brought.
The gift Zhang Li brought at this moment,
Zhang Puru bought it casually at the market in town.
Things don't look worth the money...
"Look at your brother Qi, he bought your grandma a gold bracelet this year!"
The aunt's purpose was not to create tension, but to show her own son.
To show how awesome my son is,
She has been waiting since two o'clock.
I just said that Zhang Li's family was slow to arrive, perhaps because she was getting impatient.
"It's New Year's Day, and you're not a child anymore, so you just buy this for your grandma?"
"Do you have two hundred dollars for this thing?"
When Grandma Zhang Li was about to speak, the aunt had already spoken out.
On the bright side,
She was upholding justice, saying that Zhang Li's family contributed too little.
In fact,
She was building momentum for her son.
"This gold bracelet of yours cost tens of thousands!"
"Look, your brother Qi just brought it to your grandma!"
The aunt continued.
At the same time, he pointed at grandma's wrist.
"Well, Zhang Qiang also bought his grandma a new set of clothes. Those clothes are all famous brands and are worth tens of thousands!"
My aunt hasn't finished yet.
Zhang Li's fourth aunt suddenly spoke too.
The reason why this daughter-in-law appeared today was to praise her son.
“My brother bought it too!”
"My dad bought all these things. He's more casual!"
"But my brother also bought jewelry for grandma!"
Zhang Li hasn't answered yet.
Zhang Puru suddenly spoke up.
The gift that others disliked was originally bought by her, but with just one word from her, she let her father take the blame.
Seeing my brother keeping a low profile and not talking,
She was not happy about this.
Zhang Puru goes straight to the scene!
"Brother, take out the gold ring you bought for grandma!"
Considering that my brother has a live streaming e-commerce company, it’s no problem to give him a gold ring.
And it is for my grandma who loves me.
Zhang Puru pointed out directly that her brother had just washed the ring on his hand in the morning...
