Xia Chunfu was cheerful as he watched Xia Ruzheng pull out one thing after another. He said, "It's too much. Why are you buying so much for me? I already have everything. You should buy more for yourselves."

Xia Ruzheng was still wearing clothes given by Grandma Liu, and they didn't look cheap at all, Xia Chunfu said.

"Ah, we know it ourselves. Don't be polite. These are gifts from your daughter and son-in-law. The important thing is that you can show off and tell others that they bought them for you. They are more useful than ten sons!"

Many people are gloating over Xia Chunfu's misfortune because he has no son.

After hearing his daughter's words, Xia Chunfu was suddenly moved. Only his daughter knew what he was feeling. It turned out that his daughter was a caring little cotton-padded jacket!

"Dad, this kind of clothes is worn by many cadres! It makes the wind blow when you walk, not to mention how beautiful it is! And these boots are not afraid of water, and your feet will warm up after walking around, so comfortable!"

Xia Chunfu nodded and said, "Okay, okay, that's what I'll wear during the New Year!"

Near lunchtime, Xia Ruqian's family also arrived. When they got here, everyone really let loose, talking and laughing happily.

Although Xia Chunfu is alone, he is hardworking and raises several pigs a year. In addition to the ones he sells, he slaughtered one to make bacon two months ago, and he slaughtered another one two days ago when his daughter came back, so he has both bacon and fresh meat.

Liu Guoqing and Wen Zhichao accompanied their father-in-law, and with Xiao Niu Niu watching over them, the two sisters worked together in the kitchen, cooking a large table of dishes. Xia Ruqian even praised Xia Ruzheng's improved cooking skills, and Xia Ruzheng naturally said that as the restaurant owner, her cooking skills couldn't be too poor.

Xia Chunfu looked at his eldest daughter's family on his right, then at his youngest daughter's family on his left, and he was overjoyed. Now both daughters were living well and had a good relationship with their sons-in-law. Finally, the hardship had ended and he could finally face his deceased wife.

While no one was paying attention, Xia Chunfu wiped the corners of his eyes.

When we went home in the afternoon, we were naturally reluctant to leave. In fact, the two sons-in-law also liked their father-in-law's house very much, because the atmosphere here was very relaxed, and the father-in-law was also a good-tempered old man. Without a lot of troubles from brothers and relatives, it felt much more relaxed.

Xia Ruzheng didn't give Xia Chunfu much dried seafood, but he gave him more American ginseng and other things, which are considered precious things in his hometown nowadays.

The next step is to prepare for the Chinese New Year. Before the Chinese New Year, gifts must be given to the mother-in-law's relatives, the father-in-law's brothers and sisters, and the families of each daughter-in-law. Generally, some eggs and rice are enough. At present, people are not rich enough to give meat casually.

However, the Wen family came up with a new way of giving gifts this year, which was to give some dried seafood.

In fact, it is not very expensive, just some dried shrimps or something like that, but for people who are happy to eat meat, this is really a luxury. Many people don’t know how to cook it. It was the Wen family who kindly told them the cooking method. ◎ Baidu search

Coupled with the new rhythm of the entire Wen family, Wen Zhichao and Xia Ruzheng finally became famous, and all their relatives came to ask what they were doing in Guangzhou.

Back then, everyone was not optimistic about the two of them going to Guangzhou. They thought that doing business was just prying into socialism. If they were caught, they would be criticized. If the policy changed, Wen Baimao and his wife might end up in jail.

This was what many people thought, but after seeing the new clothes of the Wen family, everyone changed their minds. Although they would still say something sour when gossiping behind their backs, they could not hide the envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts.

Wen Zhichao was dragged by a man to drink and inquire about business matters. Xia Ruzheng was also dragged by his aunts and uncles for questioning. They relied on their seniority and relative status, so Xia Ruzheng couldn't run away even if he wanted to, and could only sit there and accompany them.

"It's nothing, actually. I've been here for over a year now, so I've finally saved a little. It's not easy to go home, so I'm bringing some extra things home."

Even so, you'd have to be rich to buy it, right? Everyone in the Wen family got new clothes, which must have cost at least several dozen yuan? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, giving a child corduroy to wear, and then the child will outgrow it. What a waste!

Unable to withstand everyone's questioning, Xia Ruzheng could only say that he was struggling to run a breakfast stall, and Wen Zhichao was struggling to run a tape stall. They were exposed to the wind, sun and rain, and were exhausted. Sometimes they were even bullied by others.
