Huang Qinquian, as her name implies, was expected by her parents to grow up diligent, becoming a hardworking person.
But reality often differs from expectations. Among Huang's family'...
Xu Junhui: How can I see it? I see it with my eyes closed.
Xu Junhui didn't dare to express his opinion at all.
He saw it firsthand; Huang Eryuan and Xu Weiguo were both hiding nearby, too afraid to say a word.
It was because after they expressed their opinions, they were each scolded by their wives.
But now Zhang Yumei and Chen Zhaodi are both watching him, waiting for his answer.
Xu Junhui couldn't pretend he hadn't heard it.
He could only say hesitantly, "Well, I think we can compromise."
"How can we find a compromise?" Zhang Yumei and Chen Zhaodi asked in unison.
"I think we shouldn't hold a full moon celebration."
As soon as Xu Junhui finished speaking, Zhang Yumei frowned.
Chen Zhaodi's brows relaxed.
Seeing that Zhang Yumei was about to speak, Xu Junhui quickly added, "But!"
"We can have a meal together as a family on the day of the full moon, when everything is peaceful and safe."
"This way, we won't have to go to great lengths, and we can still celebrate the full moon peacefully."
"Mom, what do you guys think?"
After he finished speaking, Xu Junhui carefully observed their expressions, afraid that neither of them would be satisfied.
Zhang Yumei and Chen Zhaodi exchanged a glance, both agreeing that Xu Junhui's suggestion was good.
Zhang Yumei wanted to hold a full-month celebration mainly because she hoped everyone could come together to celebrate Ping'an's well-being.
Chen Zhaodi's reluctance to hold the event did not stem from a lack of concern for peace and safety.
It's just that the New Year is coming soon.
Given how much the Xu family values Huang Qinqin and Ping An, the full-moon celebration will definitely be quite grand.
They were worried that the baby's one-month celebration would lead to excessive expenses.
It would be bad if we used up all the meat coupons, sugar coupons, and the like before the Lunar New Year.
Xu Junhui's suggestion now satisfies Zhang Yumei's desire to celebrate.
This also reassured Chen Zhaodi's concerns about excessive expenses.
It is indeed a good suggestion that benefits both parties.
"Okay, then we'll just have a simple meal together as a family."
"Yes, we'll just have a simple meal."
After discussing it, Zhang Yumei and Chen Zhaodi went to see Ping An An together again, all smiles and affection.
Xu Junhui also breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Finally, a solution has been found that satisfies both of them.
However, it was just a simple meal for the two families.
However, in practice, it seems impossible for it to be as simple as just 'two families' having a meal together.
Originally, Zhang Yumei and the others thought that the two families referred to Huang Qinqin's family and their own family.
But, for a peaceful and safe full moon celebration, we can't just not invite Grandpa Huang and Grandma Huang, can we?
If we invite Grandpa Huang and the others, but don't invite anyone from the Xu family's side...
It felt like the Huang family was holding a full moon celebration.
So Xu Weiguo decided to invite Fang Hui's family to come over for dinner.
Finally, somehow, it suddenly evolved into...
The Huang family, the Xu family, the Fang family, the Mu family, and the Wang family, the factory director of the food factory, ate together.
......
On the day of the peaceful and safe full moon celebration, the Xu family courtyard was especially lively.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, and the pickled vegetable workshops in Huangjia Village having plenty of stock, things were looking good.
Therefore, Village Chief Huang negotiated with the department store to deliver more goods at once.
Then the villagers were given a ten-day holiday.
So last night, Grandpa Huang and Grandma Huang came to the city ahead of schedule.
"Ping An An is growing up so well, with lots of hair, just like a little girl."
Grandpa Huang was truly filled with emotion.
Looking at Ping An's face, he felt as if he were seeing Huang Qinqin when she was a child.
Of all the grandchildren in the family, Huang Qinqin is the most well-behaved, the most considerate, the sweetest-talking, and the best at coaxing people.
The key point is that Huang Qinqin is coaxing people not because she wants anything, but simply because she wants them to be happy.
"Daughter, this is something Grandpa and Grandma specially left for you. Keep it safe and don't tell anyone else, okay?"
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone else was outside and only a few of them were in the room, Grandpa Huang quickly stuffed the things in his hand into Huang Qinqin's hands.
"Grandpa, what is this?"
Huang Qinqin looked down at the thing in her hand. It was wrapped in a handkerchief, and she wouldn't know what was inside until she opened it.
Grandma Huang hugged Pingping and said with a smile, "Qin'er, you'll know once you open it and take a look."
"Wait, wait!"
Just as Huang Qinqin was about to open the door, Grandpa Huang urgently called for a stop, and then the dog sneakily went to close the door.
Grandma Huang said with a hint of helplessness, "Does it have to be this exaggerated?"
"Even if others find out, they won't think anything of it."
"Besides, don't you think it makes things even more problematic if you close the door?"
Grandpa Huang disagreed with Grandma Huang's words. Although they might not necessarily have any thoughts, what if they did?
What if this incident causes them to have a problem with Huang Qinqin?
So, to be on the safe side, it's better for them to keep it a secret.
"It's okay, just say it's too windy and Qinqin is a little cold."
"Darling, you can open it now. This is from your grandparents. Keep it safe, okay?"
Huang Qinqin heard Grandpa Huang emphasize twice in just a short time that she should put her things away herself.
I think I have a pretty good idea what's in my hand.
Something that Grandpa Huang values so much and doesn't want others to know about must be quite valuable.
But the weight and feel don't seem like money.
Therefore, it is highly likely to be a bracelet or gold.
Sure enough, when Huang Qinqin opened the handkerchief, she saw three gold bars neatly arranged inside.
"Grandpa and Grandma, this is too precious. You should take it back."
After Huang Qinqin saw what it was, she immediately wrapped the gold bars up again.
Although she liked it very much, it was clearly Grandpa Huang and his family's last savings for their coffins.
Huang Qinqin felt she couldn't accept it.
Grandpa Huang and Grandma Huang said in unison, "What's given to you is given to you, so just accept it without worry."
"But this is too precious, and if only I have it, I'll be embarrassed to face my brothers in the future."
"Don't overthink it. We will choose to give you the things, not because we are biased towards you."
Huang Qinqin looked at Grandpa Huang and Grandma Huang with a smile, as if asking: Is it really not because of favoritism?
Grandpa Huang coughed lightly: "Cough, okay, I admit, there is indeed a reason for favoring you."
"However, we didn't just leave the things to you for that reason."
"Otherwise, we could have given it to you when you got married, which would have been more appropriate than now."
"Nannan, are you right?"
Huang Qinqin nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, that makes sense."
"Grandpa, Grandma, so why did you suddenly want to give these things to me?"
