Chapter 558 557. Dad, This Is Ten Million

Xitang Town is one of the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River and one of the birthplaces of Wuyue culture. The first wave of spring breeze ushered in by the reform and opening up came to this small town at the junction of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Liu Mang’s parents, Tong Xiaoying and Liu Lijie in Ying Restaurant, relied on Liu Mang’s father’s electrician workers to support their popularity at first. People everywhere like to join in the fun. go to eat.

In the 1990s, relying on the tourism industry that began to develop here due to investment attraction in the 1990s, there were many tourists. The business here developed rapidly, especially the catering industry, which created a good education for Liu Mang. environmental opportunities.

By the beginning of the century, the number of tourists here in Xitang had exceeded one million each year, and the business of Xiaoying Restaurant was getting better and better. It was too busy every morning, and it was open 365 days a year, including Chinese New Year. But today, Xiaoying The entrance of the restaurant was originally a small blackboard used to write the breakfast and price of today's supply, but it said that it was closed for one day today.

...

Before returning home, Liu Mang worried about many things, he was worried about everything imaginable.

But when he saw the familiar figure in his memory appearing in his sight, Liu Mang couldn't help running up, calling out "Dad, Mom" ​​quite naturally.

There is not too much hypocrisy, and there are no scenes of tears. Liu Mang's father is really tall, around 1.8 meters, and his mother is an ordinary height of 1.6 meters.

Like Liu Mang, Dad is a thin, tall middle-aged man. Except for being a little tanned from working in the sun for a long time, he is clean. Mom is a standard middle-aged woman who is a bit fatter. Liu Mang gained weight again in his memory.

Dad is a standard Chinese old man. He responded without showing too much emotion. Mom was more enthusiastic. Seeing Liu Mang running off the bus, she hurried forward and pulled Liu Mang: "Ouch, be careful, don't fall down, how old you are, you're still so frizzy, come and show mom, you've grown stronger, your body is stronger, you haven't eaten after sitting on the plane all day, let's hurry up When you go back, your father closed the store in the morning and asked for leave from the office to prepare meals for you..."

Standard mother-style chatter, but seeing two American beauties and a little loli coming out of the car, my mother was stunned.

When two beauties, two big and one small, came up to get to know each other, my parents were even more surprised that they could speak Mandarin! Although this Mandarin is as weird as Liu Mang's mother's dialect Mandarin...

...

Last night at 7:00, Liu Mang and his group boarded a flight from Atlanta and flew directly to Shanghai. The difference was less than 19 hours. After one night and most of the day, they arrived in Shanghai at two o'clock in the afternoon. Except for the things bought in the duty-free area of ​​the airport, many things were sold. After paying the tax and having a property certificate, the group of people was allowed to go through customs with so many things.

Take the pre-booked chartered bus, depart from the airport, and arrive at a small town called Yaozhuang in the east of Xitang Town after two or three hours.

It’s just that when he got here, Liu Mang didn’t know how to go. Unlike many cities in the United States, many cities have already been built. It is difficult to see any major changes in ten or twenty years. In China, especially the developed coastal provinces such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, Changes are changing with each passing day. After four years of absence, Liu Mang can't even find his way to the town where he used to visit when he was a child.

Luckily, Liu Mang's parents had expected this a long time ago. When they booked a chartered car for Liu Mang, they asked the driver to stop at Yaozhuang.

After receiving Liu Mang's greetings, Liu Mang's parents looked at Liu Mang several times with strange eyes, and then his father drove his Santana to lead the way. The bus, following behind, was originally here to pick up Liu Mang, but Liu Mang brought three people with him, and there were so many luggages.

The scene on the bus is very interesting. Dinah, Levia, Alexia and Liu Mang's mother had a good chat. Dinah is the best at learning Chinese among the three. Throwing it aside completely, Liu Mang couldn't get in the words, and sat speechless looking at the scenery outside the window.

Alexia traveled to China with Liu Mang as a classmate of Liu Mang's university, and Levia took her daughter to travel as Liu Mang's landlord in college.

As for Liu Mang's mother, she completely ignored her surprise when she first saw the three of them.

Just like puppy love, generally speaking, the woman's parents are as irritable as a cat whose tail has been stepped on. On the contrary, the man's parents are a little bit elated. The first reaction is not that the son has a puppy love and wants to beat him up, but wants to To know whether the puppy love is good-looking...

Looking at the environment outside the window, Liu Mang can hardly recognize the surrounding environment. The development of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is really fast. A few years ago, the rural roads that were small roads have now become asphalt roads. Liu Mang’s home is not in the urban area of ​​Xitang Town. Far away in the countryside, probably in the middle of Yaozhuang and Xitang, the two sides are not far away. In the morning, I went to the town to prepare breakfast before dawn. Now the traffic is more convenient. Liu Mang’s parents drove to the town for only 20 or so. In a matter of minutes, if you don’t live in a big city in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the difference between living in the countryside and in the city is getting smaller and smaller...

Everything was simpler than Liu Mang imagined. Liu Mang's parents were smarter or more cautious than he imagined. Although Liu Mang was only a sports star and had never played for the national team, he was not known by as many people as Yao Ming in China. But Liu Mang's parents didn't publicize that their star son was back, and the group quietly returned to their home in the countryside.

...

...

When Liu Mang arrived at home in the evening, relatives who lived nearby all came. Although it is not unusual for foreign friends to come to China now, they can still see them every day. I was surprised by the two American friends Liu Mang brought back. The beauty, then received a bunch of gifts, complimented her, and left happily.

Speaking of most domestic sports stars, the exposure rate is much worse than that of entertainment stars, and they may respect sports stars more, but many relatives of Liu Mang don't know what the NBA where Liu Mang works is, they just know that they play basketball, young people Fortunately, there are people who want to sign, but the older ones don't know that much. After all, they grow up in different environments. They know a little more about football, table tennis and other stars, and the income of domestic athletes is average these days. I don't know as much about overseas affairs as young people.

He was busy until midnight before sending the last family of relatives away. Liu Mang slumped on the sofa and really didn't want to move.

Liu Mang's home has been rebuilt, probably because Liu Mang doesn't need tuition fees for the past two years, so he built a small two-story building, and there are three more people, and he doesn't worry about having no room to live in.

"Well, what are you doing lying down, come and help mom make the bed, really, I didn't know how to make a phone call except for money for a few years, and when I came back, I just called and said I was back, and didn't say that I would bring friends back, what the hell I'm not ready, don't be ashamed, come and help... Xiaoya, Xiaosha, and Dinah, you should rest for a while, this countryman is like this, you just came to disturb you, and you really, buy it Why are there so many things, I have them all at home, it’s a waste of money..." My mother said so, but she felt that Bel had a sense of face, and all the gifts she gave out were foreign goods, even though she had earned money from opening a breakfast shop all these years Not a lot, but before Liu Mang went to school, the tuition fees were high, and later he spent money on building a house, so he really didn’t spend too much money on himself. Seeing the gifts from Levia and Alexia, he was very happy.

Especially seeing that half of the huge pile of gifts was for herself, the huge pile of cosmetics, clothes and all kinds of gadgets, Liu Mang's mother was so happy, she complained, but when she saw Levia And Alexia is happy.

It's just... It's completely different from the joy when I first met Liu Mang. It took only a long time for Liu Mang to feel that his mother was starting to annoy him.

But for Levia, Alexia and little Loli Dinah, the mother complained so gently, the treatment is too far away!

Liu Mang felt chilly in his heart, and wanted to stay away for a while, but when he saw his mother looking at him unkindly, Liu Mang immediately got up and prepared to help.

"Auntie, let Ace take a break, let's help!" Levia and Alexia felt that the opportunity to perform had come, and rushed to help.

"That's so embarrassing, really, you can take a look at it and learn more..."

Liu Mang looked at his mother who was still scolding him for taking the two girls upstairs to clean up the room, and felt that he shouldn't have brought the two girls back! It's enough to bring a little loli...but it seems that the guardian can't bring it back, what a pity.

Dinah had already gone to bed, and the day and night flight plus bus ride had occupied Liu Mang's room.

The women were all gone, Liu Mang finally felt he could breathe a sigh of relief, and sat back on the sofa, although there was a feeling of being abandoned by his mother and being rejected, but this feeling was not bad for Liu Mang.

There is no special treatment just because my baby is promising and earning a lot of money. It is still the same as before, just like Liu Mang remembers when he was in high school. Every time I call the canteen, the first thing my mother says is: I have no money again?

Now that Liu Mang has money again, he doesn't need to call to ask for money, and his mother's new method of dislike will come out soon.

Liu Mang was lamenting, "It's such a harmonious and friendly family", when his father Liu Lijie sat next to him.

"Well, do you smoke?" My dad took out a pack of cigarettes and asked.

"No." Liu Mang shook his head.

Just now, Dad also made a big splash, entertaining relatives with cigarettes and alcohol is unprecedented.

The cigarettes that Liu Mang brought back were not bad, a dozen packs of Yellow Crane Tower 1916, and several large boxes of Moutai.

Of course, they were all bought in the duty-free zone of the airport in Atlanta, and the price is less than half of that in China.

"That's good, I didn't learn badly when I went abroad." Dad lit a cigarette for himself in satisfaction, and he didn't intend to give Liu Mang one.

Parents are like this, no matter how old their children are, they still treat them like children.

Liu Mang watched his father stuff the cigarettes back into his purse, and hide the remaining cigarettes after distributing them to relatives and friends behind the sofa. Liu Mang's hair was full of black lines.

This father is still the same! It was exactly the same as Liu Mang remembered.

It seems that the yelling of the mother on the other side of the stairs has disappeared, and the original serious expression of the father suddenly changed: "Water! You are really promising! Haha, I have brought my daughter-in-law back after going abroad for several years, and it is still two years old. Huh! Give birth to a baby earlier, Dad is not a rigid person, it doesn’t matter if you have had children before, and it doesn’t matter if you have a foreign wife, but your own baby must be born early..."

Liu Mang was stunned for a while, this change of face is too fast!

"Father, I haven't written my horoscope yet!" Liu Mang interrupted hastily.

"Well, you're still too young to understand a woman's heart. If you're not interested in you, they will follow you home?"

"..."

"Well, don't believe me, Dad, I'm someone from here. That's how I tricked your mother back then. I think your mother was a flower in our vocational high school back then..."

"..."

Hearing his father bragging for a long time, Liu Mang took out a bank card of CCB. CCB is one of the few banks at this time that individuals can transfer large amounts of money to domestic accounts without handling fees and exempting exchange fees. China Merchants Investment Well.

"Dad, here is a little money for you and Mom." There were no complicated words of gratitude or anything else, it was simple and straightforward.

"No need, your mother and I are not very extravagant people, we earn enough money to spend on our own, and now without you who ask for money all the time, we have a good life." Dad also began to dislike Liu Mang.

"Dad, this is ten million."

"..." There was silence for a few seconds.

"Ahem, don't tell your mother, I'll save it for you..."

Just when Dad was about to get the bank card in his hand, he suddenly took the bank card away with one hand.

"Liu Lijie! What do you mean don't tell me the fuck? What are you going to do with so much money?"

I don't know when, my mother appeared next to me...

A few minutes later, my mother wrote down the bank card password from Liu Mang, and happily went upstairs with the pillow she had just removed.

Liu Mang looked at his father whose ears were almost not pulled off, and felt a little sad... I hope that my future daughter-in-law will not learn this kind of strict wife-ruling character from my mother...

"Dad, this is my leftover cash. Keep it safe so that my mother won't find out." Seeing how pitiful his father was, Liu Mang took out his wallet, which contained thousands of dollars in cash, and handed it to his father. In his hand, he remembered that his father seemed to be beaten to death every time he wanted to save private money...
