1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 357 Comparing Sons-in-law

In this last twilight of the collectivist era, government officials still enjoy extremely high status and credibility.

In most cases, ordinary people will look up to him. If he is young, has a good family background, and works as a cadre in a big city with a developed economy, then he will have a bright future.

This is also the reason why the Liu family, including Liu Jianshe, Liu Xin, and even Jiang Wan, the younger sister who married into the Red Second Family, treat women differently.

Of course, Jiang Ting’s story is a thing of the past, but Jiang Wan just doesn’t know about it yet.

If he knew, he would probably be furious like he was last year when he found out about Liu Xiaoli.

Overall, this speaks volumes about the status of government cadres.

"GuluGulu——"

The dark green kettle pours hot water out tirelessly with the breath of planned economy. It is pulled up high, and the water flow in the teacup carries the tea leaves and rotates, making a slight sound.

Jiang Wan's thoughts were pulled back and the beautiful woman looked up.

Cheng Kaiyan was standing opposite him, bending over to pour tea for him, his movements gentle and calm.

As if he was aware of his gaze, the young man raised his head and smiled at him, with a slight curve at the corner of his lips. The sunlight from the window happened to cast a corner on his face, illuminating his beautiful peach blossom eyes, making them look translucent and golden.

Very nice.

Jiang Wan felt like she was in a forest, with the fresh and moist lake breeze blowing on her face.

Jiang Wan looked at her like this and understood why her daughter was so stubborn...

Oh no!

I was determined to follow him.

No matter what, her appearance was definitely enough to overwhelm Wen Qiong, the person who had never shown up, to the point where he could not breathe and even felt ashamed of himself.

"Have a cup of tea, Aunt Wan."

Cheng Kaiyan's clear and gentle voice came, and he handed over the teacup with both hands.

Jiang Wan moved her moist lips, and subconsciously felt that Cheng Kaiyan must be aware of what happened last night and this morning, and wanted to use this to please her.

She wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks about him, saying that he was being too attentive for no reason and was either a traitor or a thief, or that he was a toady.

But after taking a closer look at the expression on his face and the fact that he kept his body straight even when he was leaning over, I felt that this was not flattery but genuine respect.

With two little people fighting in her heart, Jiang Wan suddenly asked, "Why do you behave like a host in someone else's house? Do you respect and care about your mother Yuxiu and A Ting so much?"

After saying this, Jiang Wan felt a little regretful for saying this. After all, it sounded a bit like a reproach.

But when she thought about the fact that her daughter slept with him last night and her innocence was unknown, she felt somewhat at ease.

Humph, who told me to be the mother-in-law!

"No matter where I am, it doesn't matter if I pour you a cup of tea. No matter whether the host is open-minded or not, they won't care if a younger person pours a cup of tea for an elder person. They will only praise him.

As for the second question, I have always been respectful to older women. "

Cheng Kaiyan smiled and answered in a calm voice.

Although I said this, I couldn't help but feel a little worried about this mother-in-law. Is she really as difficult to deal with as Sister Xiaoli said?

Just like the girls in later generations, the system of deducting points was implemented.

I just did something that pleased her and thought I would gain her approval, but then something bad happened and the score sheet suddenly turned negative.

No wonder lesbians’ emotions are always in a state of uncertainty. It’s really a headache.

I don’t know if I can finalize the engagement before returning to Beijing, but at least it’s a good start.

The task was arduous, but fortunately Cheng Kaiyan was very patient.

"hehe."

Jiang Wan took the teacup, took a sip, and smiled with satisfaction.

The attitude is very good and the speech is also good, but...

Let's see if I can outsmart others in a moment...

"Clap."

A series of footsteps interrupted her thoughts.

Whether it was Cheng Kaiyan and Jiang Wan who were pouring tea, Liu Xiaoli who was sitting beside them with a worried look, or Liu Jianshe who was sitting and reading a newspaper, they all looked up.

Zhou Wenqiong and her aunt came out.

Behind the two men was a young man who was about 1.7 meters tall and a bit thin, around 25 or 26 years old.

A black coat, a pair of black cotton trousers, and cotton shoes on his feet.

He has regular facial features, a short chin, single eyelids and small eyes.

His skin was quite fair, and he wore glasses on his nose, and he looked like someone from Shanghai.

When this young man looked at people, there was a smile in his eyes, but he unconsciously revealed some arrogance.

Jiang Wan glanced at him inconspicuously and shook her head secretly. Her physique, appearance and temperament were far inferior to Cheng Kaiyan's.

This is the first victory!
She looked up at Liu Xin happily, her eyes were calm and smiling, and she asked casually in a calm tone: "This is Wen Qiong's boyfriend, he is really a handsome man."

Liu Xin's face darkened when she heard this. She and her brother's wife had always been at odds with each other, and it had been a long-standing wish.

However, Jiang Ting was much better than her in every aspect, and her younger sister married into a wealthy family, so Jiang Wan's status and identity were also different.

If she wasn't the eldest sister and her husband's family had not been very powerful, she would have been suppressed so much that she couldn't even breathe.

She immediately understood what Jiang Wan meant, which was to praise in public but criticize in private.

What's so great about having good looks...

She hummed twice in her heart, then called out, "Yonghua! Come and meet them, this is Wenqiong's uncle and aunt..."

This was the first time that Chu Yonghua came to his girlfriend's home to celebrate the New Year. He really liked this young and beautiful girl, so he naturally followed her lead and behaved very well.

He had a formal smile on his face, patted his clothes and walked forward, bowed and smiled: "Uncle and aunt, happy new year, I am Chu Yonghua, Wen Qiong's boyfriend."

"Happy New Year. Happy New Year."

After some self-introductions and New Year greetings, everyone had a simple understanding of each other.

At this time, Zhou Wenqiong's father Zhou Haifeng also came out. The whole family sat on the sofa, pouring tea and drinking tea, looking at each other.

Chu Yonghua silently observed the relatives of his girlfriend's family, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became.

The woman in sable clothing is my aunt Jiang Wan, with fair skin, a plump figure and a radiant appearance.

The girl next to him, who is about the same age as the boyfriend, is even more beautiful than him. She has skin as white as jade, round almond eyes, and is gentle and quiet. She also has an elegant and noble artistic temperament.

On the other side was a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, youthful and lovely, a pretty girl from a delicate and pretty appearance. She was already a little beauty and would become a beautiful woman in the future.

Seeing so many beautiful female comrades, Chu Yonghua was a little dazzled at once, and couldn't help but sigh that this family is really full of beauties!

Stunning though it is.

But Chu Yonghua is, after all, twenty-five or twenty-six years old and still an official in the government. He doesn't stare at her like a pig with envy. He has some self-control and reserve.

However, it is due to men's genetic competitive instinct and psychological needs.

He still inadvertently tidied up his appearance, so as not to embarrass Wen Qiong.

Of course, there is also the reason of all the beautiful lesbians in this room.

"Yonghua, this is my cousin Liu Xiaoli, and her boyfriend Cheng Kaiyan."

At this time, Zhou Wenqiong came out from the kitchen with a plate of frozen pears and some snacks. After putting the things away, she sat next to Chu Yonghua and started introducing them with a smile.

Chu Yonghua turned his head and saw a tall and slender, handsome and clear-looking young man with extraordinary temperament sitting next to the pure, moving, elegant and noble girl.

The girl was hugging the young man's arm in an intimate manner.

Such a beautiful girl actually has a boyfriend, and her boyfriend is also a decent-looking guy.

For no reason, Chu Yonghua felt a little unhappy.

He maintained a proper and warm smile and extended his hand to Liu Xiaoli, "Hello, cousin."

When Liu Xiaoli heard the word "cousin" and saw the hand in front of her, she looked at him strangely.

This person seems to be older than me? Call me cousin?

Liu Xiaoli had some thoughts in her mind, and she did not shake hands with him, but just replied quietly.

She has no habit of shaking hands with others and never gets close to gay men.

Maybe it was because she had been studying and living in a dance academy since she was ten years old, and it was a subconscious habit she developed.

The dance academy affiliated with Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater only recruits girls around ten years old, no boys, all are girls.

After she started dating Cheng Kaiyan, she became more careful.

Chu Yonghua took his hand back and shrugged his shoulders, looking carefree. Cheng Kaiyan frowned subconsciously when she saw this, but didn't have time to think about it.

Chu Yonghua then extended his hand and said, "Hello, comrade."

"Hello."

Cheng Kaiyan responded calmly and simply shook hands with Chu Yonghua.

"I haven't asked for your name yet, comrade?"

"Cheng Kaiyan."

"Kaiyan, smiling face, what a good name."

Chu Yonghua felt that it sounded familiar and praised it out of professional habit.

Cheng Kaiyan lowered her head and drank tea, not wanting to say much.

Chu Yonghua felt Cheng Kaiyan's coldness, and the young man did not take the initiative to say his name just now.

He considers himself a man of status and has a rather arrogant personality, so naturally he would not do anything that would be unwelcome.

Then the scene suddenly calmed down.

Cheng Kaiyan put down the teacup and felt her ears finally quiet down.

He looked around and saw Sister Xiaoli sitting next to him, chatting with Zhou Wenqiong and her sister.

Uncle Liu and Uncle Zhou went to the table to play chess, while Aunt Wan and Aunt Liu were eating melon seeds and chatting. There were many meanings in their words, and it was just a fight between the open and the cover, and a sarcastic tone.

Cheng Kaiyan retracted her gaze, leaned close to Liu Xiaoli's pink ear, and whispered, "I'll take a nap for a while."

"Yeah, I'll call you if there's anything else."

A trace of heartache flashed across Liu Xiaoli's beautiful eyes. She knew that Cheng Kaiyan did not sleep well last night and had dark circles under her eyes when she woke up in the morning.

So he put his arm around Cheng Kaiyan's shoulders so that he could lean against him comfortably and take a nap.

The fragrance of gardenia lingers around me, carrying a faint warmth.

Warm and fragrant.

Cheng Kaiyan liked the smell very much and closed her eyes.

After about twenty minutes, there was a loud knock on the door.

"Oh, the third brother is finally here."

"Sister, brother, everyone is here, Happy New Year..."

After some lively greetings, everyone took their seats.

But the sofa was too crowded, so I moved a few benches over.

Except for the three middle-aged men, the women and young people finally sat down.

They were eating melon seeds and chatting, and the topic was naturally the two sons-in-law who were present today.

"Oh, there are two new faces today? Are they the ones Xiaoli and Wenqiong brought back? Wow, what a coincidence that the two sons-in-law are together, hahaha~"

The woman who was speaking was from the third family, her name was Li Hongmei.

He was tall and thin, with a pointed chin, three white sclera in his eyes, and spoke in a shrill voice with a peculiar accent that made Cheng Kaiyan's ears hurt.

"Tsk, tsk, why is this guy still asleep?"

Li Hongmei asked casually.

"Kai Yan didn't sleep well last night."

When Jiang Wan heard this, she explained calmly.

I did something bad last night, so of course I didn’t sleep well!
"Sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything, but the elders are all here, and this young man is a little... impolite."

Li Hongmei shook her head repeatedly, as if she couldn't stand it anymore and was going to screen the son-in-law for you.

"Hey, it's okay. Just go to sleep. Young people can sleep more easily."

Liu Xin smiled and shook his head.

Everyone here is an elder, but Cheng Kaiyan actually fell asleep leaning on Xiaoli?

Jiang Wan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She would take a nap if she was sleepy. After all, this was her own child, and it was not up to others to make irresponsible remarks. However...

She glanced coldly at Li Hongmei who was jumping up and down, and couldn't help frowning. She picked up the teacup and handed it to her, and said lightly: "Li Hongmei, pour me a cup of tea."

The cold voice still fell clearly into everyone's ears in the noisy living room.

You're welcome!

Li Hongmei froze while she was talking, her face looking a little ugly, knowing that Jiang Wan was hitting back at her.

Liu Xin was also a little unhappy. Isn't Jiang Wan just relying on the fact that her sister is a lady from the capital?
Okay, you are so cruel.

She smiled and said, "Hongmei, pour a cup for your sister-in-law. It's worth nothing. Just consider it as a gift to her."

Li Hongmei's arrogance suddenly died down. She lowered her head and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Wan. However, she looked at the tea in the cup which she had just taken a sip of, and she felt very angry.

Jiang Wan's face suddenly turned stern and she became angry when she heard that. She said indifferently, "What do you mean by respecting me? I'm much younger than you."

Li Hongmei and Liu Xin's faces darkened and they exchanged glances.

After a while.

"This must be Wen Qiong's boyfriend, he looks so gentle and he's from the big city of Shanghai. This son-in-law is incredible.

Comrade Chu, I heard from my elder sister that you are a cadre in the city. What is your specific situation? "

Li Hongmei turned her eyes to Chu Yonghua. Unlike her expression of disapproval towards Cheng Kaiyan, she now put on a friendly smile.

"Don't be so polite, just call me Yonghua, that's what everyone calls me."

Chu Yonghua smiled slightly.

"Look how polite this child is. Okay, I'll call you Yonghua, and you can just call me Third Aunt. I'll recognize you as my nephew's son-in-law."

Li Hongmei turned to look at Jiang Wan and Liu Xin and praised them with a smile.

Chu Yonghua was now the center of the topic and the center of attention. His smile widened a little as he explained:
"It's like this. After I returned to Shanghai from the Great Northern Wilderness, my father arranged for me to work in the Education Bureau. After working for two years, I attended a cadre training class and was transferred to the Municipal Education Department. I was just a deputy section-level cadre, which was nothing."

"Ouch!"

Li Hongmei was so shocked that she slapped her thigh and shouted with wide eyes: "The deputy cadre of the Municipal Public Security Bureau? This old man is really powerful! How many people does he have to manage? How much is his salary per month?"

Jiang Wan was also surprised. Such a young deputy K?

But that's not the point.

This job of Chu Yonghua was arranged by his father, working in the county bureau, in a cadre training class, and then transferred to the city.

Judging from this route, it seems to have some power. At least my family has a high status in the education system there.

But it still didn't catch her eye.

Jiang Wan drank her tea by herself.

"Haha, the salary isn't very high, about 60 or 70 yuan a month.

It means good benefits and good future development, right, Wenqiong, Yonghua?"

Liu Xin, who was standing by, had his eyes narrowed with smiles. He felt very happy when he saw Jiang Wan's surprise and Li Hongmei's astonishment.

"more or less."

Zhou Wenqiong responded with a smile, feeling somewhat proud.

She glanced at her cousin, expecting to see shock and envy on her cousin Liu Xiaoli's face, but she didn't expect that her cousin was stroking the fluffy hair around the ears of her girlfriend Cheng Kaiyan, and seemed not to pay attention to the topic here.

This is how it is between girls. Although they have a good relationship, it does not affect their competition with each other over various things.

"Drink tea, drink tea."

Chu Yonghua stood up and poured tea for everyone himself. He glanced around, seeing everyone's reactions and surprise, and felt very happy.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Cheng Kaiyan sleeping on top of his pretty cousin. His small eyes rolled under his glasses, and he asked with a warm smile:

"By the way, where is Comrade Cheng employed?"

"Yeah! Who works where?"

Li Hongmei asked carelessly, looking at Jiang Wan expectantly, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Awan, where is your Kaiyan so successful? He is so handsome, he must be an extraordinary person."

Aunt Liu Xin also asked with curiosity.

Jiang Wan paused and said slowly: "He...he is..."
