Chapter 250: Pretty Good

The next morning, Wang Xiuren and Lin Qiu put the packed things in the trunk.

"Second brother, have breakfast before leaving. I have prepared everything."

When Li Xiuying heard the sound of the trunk closing, she hurried out with a pair of chopsticks in her hand.

"Then I'll trouble you, mother." Wang Xiuren did not refuse.

The family of three followed Li Xiuying into the kitchen.

There were several soup bowls on the chopping board filled with egg and lean meat soup, and rice noodles were cooking in the steaming pot.

"Where's Dad?" Wang Xiuren asked casually.

"I went to town to buy plums and peaches." Li Xiuying answered while stirring the rice noodles in the pot with chopsticks.

"We have peaches and plums in Pengcheng. There's no need for me to run so far." Wang Xiuren felt complicated when he saw the silver hair on Li Xiuying's head.

Li Xiuying lowered her head and muttered, "How can the fruits and vegetables outside be as delicious as those at home? They are all grown by each household, without any pesticides. They are the green food mentioned in the advertisements."

"Yeah." Wang Xiuren responded with his head down.

The rice noodles were quickly prepared and Wang Xiuren brought four bowls of noodles to the table. The four of them slurped the noodles in silence without saying a word.

When the four of them were halfway through their meal, Wang Zongsheng came back on a motorcycle going the other way in the village, carrying a large bag of green and yellow plums and purple-red peaches.

He nimbly got off the motorcycle, smiled and said to the driver: "Shunzi, come inside for breakfast! Thank you for bringing me back today, otherwise I would have been in trouble."

Shunzi quickly turned the motorcycle around and waved his hand casually, "Uncle Zong, you are too polite. This is just a side trip. I won't have dinner. My mother is still waiting for me at home!"

After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

"Come to our house for dinner next time!" Wang Zongsheng shouted at the back of the motorcycle.

"Old man, come in and eat!" Li Xiuying put down her chopsticks and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook noodles.

"No hurry, it doesn't matter if I eat it later." Wang Zongsheng put two bags of fruit at the door, "Xiu Ren, remember to put the peaches and plums in the car when you leave later. I always buy the big ones that taste good."

"Okay." Wang Xiuren put down the bowl, put the two bags into the trunk, and took out a cigarette and handed it to Wang Zongsheng.

"You can use these expensive cigarettes for socializing. I'm used to smoking Lao Baisha." Wang Zongsheng declined.

"Take it. I have more." Wang Xiuren stuffed the cigarette directly into his hand.

"Okay, then I'll keep it." Wang Zongsheng smiled.

At this time, Lin Qiu and Wang Shan had also finished their meal.

"Dad, Mom, we're leaving first." Lin Qiu said goodbye to the old couple, "We'll come back when we have time."

"Okay, okay, you should also pay attention to safety on the road." Li Xiuying put down the bowl and walked over.

"Okay, you and Dad should also take care of your health." Wang Xiuren still reminded them.

"Grandpa and grandma, I'm leaving first. I will come back when I have time." Wang Shan smiled and waved.

"Okay!" Li Xiuying wanted to touch her hair, but put it down after looking at the greasy liquid on her hands.

Wang Xiuren sat in the driver's seat, and Lin Qiu and Wang Shan also got in the car.

Just as Wang Xiuren was about to reverse the car and leave, Wang Zongsheng suddenly called him: "Second brother, wait a moment, I'm going to get something."

After saying that, he ran into the room, took out a red envelope, and handed it to Wang Shan through the car window.

"Shanshan, you got into such a good university, and I don't have much to give you, so just take this red envelope!"

Wang Shan pushed the red envelope over and said, "Thank you, Grandpa. I appreciate your kindness, but I don't want the red envelope."

"Yes, yes!" Wang Zongsheng threw the red envelope directly on the car seat, "This is the reward from your grandparents for getting into college, just keep it!"

"this……"

Wang Shan looked at her father.

Wang Xiuren nodded, "Since it's a reward from your grandparents, just keep it!"

After that, he said out of the car window: "Dad, Mom, I'm leaving."

Wang Zongsheng took two steps to the side and said, "Okay, be careful."

Wang Xiuren started the car and slowly drove forward.

The figures of my parents and the old house became smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror and finally disappeared.

"My grandfather gave me 1,000 yuan." Wang Shan opened the red envelope.

Huh? !

Lin Qiu exclaimed in surprise, "That's quite a lot."

"They should have saved a lot of money." Wang Xiuren continued.

"How do you know? Did they tell you?" Lin Qiu turned to look at him.

"The eldest brother said so! Didn't he stand in front of me on the day of ancestor worship? He said that our parents asked for 3,000 yuan in filial piety money from the three of them every year, not including holidays and birthdays." Wang Xiuren explained.

"Don't they get more than 1,000 yuan every month?"

"How could they complain about having too much money?" Wang Xiuren knew his parents very well.

"Boss, are they willing to give it?"

"You have to give it to me even if they don't want to! You know my parents' personalities. If I don't give them the money, the whole village will know that they are unfilial!"

"Then why don't they ask us?"

Wang Xiuren sneered, "Everyone knows that we pay for social security. If they ask us for money again, they will probably be talked about by the villagers. How could they, who are so proud, let others hold this as a handle?"

"That's right! It seems that the money we spent back then was worth it! It can be regarded as a permanent solution." Lin Qiu looked at him with appreciation, "You really thought long-term back then."

Wang Xiuren shook his head, "This is just spending money to keep the peace!"

"Not only is it about maintaining peace, but haven't you noticed that they treat you very differently this time when you come back?" Lin Qiu teased him.

"Harm, in the final analysis, it's all for their own good. If I hadn't achieved some success now, do you believe that they would still treat me coldly as before?" Over the years, Wang Xiuren has seen through everything.

There are all kinds of parents in this world. There are parents who care wholeheartedly for their children, and there are also selfish parents who only care about themselves.

He has a bad life and didn't meet good parents, but he can become a good parent and make his daughter have a good life.

Lin Qiu didn't say anything, but just put his hand on his leg, silently comforting him.

Wang Xiuren felt warm in his heart, "But it doesn't matter. I have all my limbs intact, I am in good health, I have a virtuous wife, an excellent daughter, and good friends. Even though my relationship with my parents is a little off, I still think I am living a good life."

"I also think that I'm living a good life. I've met a gentle and considerate husband like you, and I've given birth to a smart and clever child like Shanshan. I can say that I have no regrets in this life." Lin Qiu said from the bottom of his heart.

Wang Shan also joined in the fun: "It is my greatest luck in life to meet the best parents in the world!"

"Yes, it's good for our family of three to be together in peace!"
