Chapter 540: Yang Family's Network

Regardless of whether the demolition is true or not, it is better to pay attention to it from now on.

Zhang Jidi was finally relieved when he saw that his son took this matter to heart.

Among the children in the family, Xiang Lidang is the most calm and down-to-earth. Although he doesn't talk much, he completes everything he does in a remarkable way.

The mother and son chatted for a while about the topic of demolition, and Zhang Jidi planned to go back to see how Xiang Lihua and Yang Yifei were doing.

The young couple had just counted all the wedding gifts. According to previous rules, these were their marital property and of course they had to be counted clearly.

The two were packing their luggage as they were going to Chang'an to hold a thank-you banquet at Yang Yifei's home tomorrow.

When Zhang Jidi knocked on the door, Xiang Lihua answered and quickly got up to open the door: "Mom, we're almost done packing, what can I do for you?"

The young and strong guy was afraid of the heat, so he took off his upper body and was left with only a white vest, but his pants were intact.

Glancing at Yang Yifei, who was following behind him in neat clothes, Zhang Jidi said with a smile, "Let me ask Yifei, what should we do for the thank-you banquet in Chang'an? What should we bring?"

In fact, she had also asked her mother-in-law Yang Weirui about this question, but her mother-in-law was completely unfamiliar with the customs and just said that it was okay for the person to go and there was no need to bring anything.

But Zhang Jidi thought that it was a once-in-a-lifetime event, so how could he be so careless?

Logically speaking, Yang Yifei's marriage was her first time riding in a sedan chair, so she didn't know: "Mom, over there... it's been a few years, and I don't know the customs anymore."

It has been seven or eight years since Yang Yifei joined the army. Despite trying hard to recall his childhood memories, he has no recollection of what he needs to prepare.

The main reason is that she has never paid attention to this in her daily life. In addition, she has a bad relationship with her cousins, so she doesn't care about this issue at all.

Zhang Jidi wasn't upset that he hadn't asked about the customs, and continued with a smile, "It's okay, let's bring some extra money and buy whatever we need. I'd also like to ask Yifei and my mother-in-law to be more tolerant when the time comes."

Customs vary from place to place, and both families are not familiar with Chang'an, so it is easy for them to make jokes.

Although Yang Weirui and Yang Yifei don't seem to be the type to bother with trivial matters, it's better to say the ugly words upfront.

Yang Yifei didn't care much: "It's okay, Mom, I don't mind... It's mainly for my dad's comrades to see, you don't have to care about them as relatives."

The relationship between people is very wonderful. Comrades who are not related by blood become the most solid strength to entrust to future generations.

They are blood-related family members, but they are vampires lying on top of them.

As Yang Yifei is an only child, one can imagine how many people are eyeing her family's pension, and how many of them are biting at it like jackals.

Even the so-called uncle, relying on the claim that the eldest brother is like a father, was so angry that he wanted to sell them, mother and daughter.

If it weren't for several of my father's comrades-in-arms who forcibly took the mother and daughter away, these people would have really sold them into places of debauchery in the new society.

There is always darkness under the light. Once you enter such a shameful place, it is not easy to get out and file a complaint.

Unless one has immense power that reaches the ears of the highest authorities, officials at all levels will protect each other. With their intertwined web of interests, ordinary people cannot even risk their lives.

Although he didn't understand the situation in his daughter-in-law's family, Zhang Jidi understood what she meant.

She stood on tiptoe, patted her daughter-in-law's shoulder and said comfortingly: "It's all in the past. We will have a good life in the future. When the time comes, ask Lihua to show your comrades around more often."

It is so embarrassing that the daughter-in-law is too tall, but Zhang Jidi thought that the children of these two people must be tall.

She didn't know how the two of them planned to have a baby, and she didn't dare to urge them.

Zhang Jidi silently glanced at her son Xiang Lihua. Her ignorant son looked back at her innocently, his face showing his ignorance of the world.

Forget it, it’s difficult for this couple to have a baby, so she should stop talking about it.

The timid mother-in-law asked again: "I don't know what the customs are over there. Let's prepare some local specialties for them according to our customs. When they get there, we can buy some local specialties from you. This way, it's safer. What do you think?"

Local products in Chang'an can be bought at any time, but bringing local specialties from home can better express your thoughts.

At worst, I can buy another one when I get there. I will always have one I like by preparing two types. My daughter-in-law's family home is so far away that it will be difficult to visit them in the future, so it's not excessive to pay more attention to it.

Yang Yifei was a little embarrassed: "Mom, how about I buy the one we have locally? I can't let you spend so much money."

Her mother has only one daughter, and she has saved her allowance over the years. Over the years, she has become a wealthy woman. How could she have the nerve to ask her mother-in-law to pay two gifts?

Zhang Jidi disagreed: "This is a gift from our parents and elders. How can we ask you to pay for it? It's settled."
