Chapter 343 Guan Family
It was not a good idea to go to the target's house empty-handed for the first time, so Guan Bolin brought a gift.
Guan Bolin had met Gu Changan's father and grandmother, but she had never met other family members. She was a little nervous, "Changan, will your family like me?"
"Of course I like it, don't worry." Gu Changan held her hand to comfort her.
Guan Bolin, "I don't know if your parents, siblings, or others like the gifts I bought."
Gu Changan, "Of course I like it. Oh, you don't have to worry. My parents are very easy to talk to."
The "ugly daughter-in-law" will eventually have to meet her parents-in-law, sooner or later.
Because they drove to the bottom of the tube building very quickly, Changan saw a red Santana parked next to the black Santana, and knew that his sister and brother-in-law had also come.
It is possible that his grandparents are also at home.
But because his partner was nervous, he didn't tell her, since they would meet soon anyway.
Guan Bolin was a little nervous, but as they were almost home, there was no point in being nervous. She took a deep breath, adjusted her mentality, and followed Chang'an upstairs.
When we got to the third floor, Chang'an knocked on the door.
It was Su He who opened the door. She smiled amiably and said, "Come over, you two."
Changan introduced, "This is my mother."
"Mom, my date is Guan Bolin."
"Hello, Auntie." Guan Bolin greeted politely.
Su He smiled, "Well, the little girl is really pretty and has a great temperament."
"Why does he look familiar to me? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."
Her future daughter-in-law looks a little familiar. Where has she seen her before?
"Mom, she works at a TV station as a news anchor. You and Dad watch the news every day, so you must have seen her." Changan put the gift on the counter.
"Oh, really? Being a news anchor is so awesome? On TV every day!" Su He was surprised.
Guan Bolin has already seen many people in the room. Why are there so many people? Are all her target's relatives here? What is this?
Gu Changan took Guan Bolin and introduced them one by one, "My grandma, my grandpa, my grandpa, my grandmother, you have seen them."
"My sister, she came out one minute earlier than me."
"My brother-in-law, my little niece, Sui Sui."
"My brother is Changjun, and my sister is Changhuan."
"My dad! You've met him."
"My subject, Guan Bolin."
After listening to Gu Chang'an's introduction, Guan Bolin called them one by one.
"Oh, all right."
Changyi brought a stool and greeted him warmly, "Bolin, please sit down. Do you want a popsicle?"
Guan Bolin smiled, "Thank you, sister."
After the introduction, we got to know each other. Everyone asked Guan Bolin questions one after another, and Guan Bolin gradually became less nervous.
She is about the same age as Changyi, both are young people, and they get along well.
Su He and Gu Jianhua were cooking in the kitchen. Soon the dishes were ready and they set the table to eat.
Guan Bolin wanted to help, and said, "Just sit there. It's not right for a guest to take action."
Changyi got up and went to set the table.
Guan Bolin whispered to Changan, "Changan, sister is so gentle."
Is Chang'an thinking about his sister Wenrou?
"They are a bit aloof." This refers to Chang Jun and Chang Huan.
The two children don't like to talk.
Changan said with a smile, "They are both in puberty and are playing it cool. My sister and I were like that when we were 16 or 17."
He has more sisters than me, so his aloofness didn’t last for more than a few months.
Su He and his wife Gu Jianhua prepared a total of sixteen dishes today, four cold dishes, two stews, and ten hot dishes.
Looking at the abundance of dishes on the table, Guan Bolin knew that her future in-laws were very thoughtful.
After the meal, her partner's family was extremely enthusiastic and kept serving her food. Even her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, who were acting cool during adolescence, served her food.
Said, "Sister, this is delicious, please eat more."
Guan Bolin likes Changan's family very much.
No one drank alcohol, so we started eating at 11 o'clock and finished at around 12 o'clock.
After clearing the table, Guan Bolin sat for a while and then stood up to go back.
Su He quickly went into the house and took the red envelope, "Bolin, this is a little gift from us, take it and buy some delicious food."
Guan Bolin touched the red envelope. It was so thick that she didn't know how much money was in it, but it must be a lot. She declined, and Gu Changan said, "Take it. It's specially for you. It's prepared for you."
Just accepted it.
Chang'an sent Guan Bolin back home, and Guan's father and mother knew that their daughter had gone to her boyfriend's home.
When he saw his daughter coming back, he asked, "How are his family members?"
The future son-in-law has come to their home and they are quite satisfied with him.
I just don’t know what the people at home are like.
Guan Bolin said, "Mom and Dad, Changan's family is very nice. When I went there today, his parents cooked 16 dishes and the table was almost full."
"Before leaving, his mother gave me a red envelope."
Guan Bolin took out a red envelope from his bag and gave it to Guan's mother. Guan's mother took the red envelope, felt it was very thick, and said, "There is a lot of money in it."
I took it out and counted it. It was two thousand yuan.
Yes, Su He felt that one thousand yuan was a little too little, so he gave two thousand.
"Your in-laws are indeed in business. They gave you two thousand as a gift. It's really a lot. It's equivalent to our annual salary."
Guan's parents' family had some money, but not much, which was a little inheritance accumulated by their ancestors. They were both university teachers working at Tsinghua University.
Although I am a university teacher, my monthly salary is not high.
Guan Bolin was also surprised, "I didn't expect his parents would give so much."
That's two thousand yuan, and her monthly salary is only over eighty yuan.
This meeting gift is equivalent to two years' salary for her.
Guan's father said, "It's fine, let's get along well."
Judging from the dish and the gift, you can tell that the other party values their girl.
Guan Bolin, "Mom and Dad, Aunt Su asked when you are free to come visit you."
Come for a visit? Guan's parents knew what it meant as soon as they heard it.
Mother Guan and Father Guan looked at each other and said, "Next week."
"Oh, okay. Then I'll let Chang'an tell Aunt Su."
What Su He meant was not to go to the girl's house to discuss marriage right away, but to get to know her first and then chat.
Su He and Gu Jianhua like their future daughter-in-law very much.
So he asked Chang'an, "Chang'an, when do you plan to get married?"
Really, only after I became a parent did I understand why parents are anxious about their children's marriage, just like Su He and Gu Jianhua are also anxious now.
I just want them to get married early, have kids early, and raise the kids, then their mission will be accomplished.
They can retire and have nothing to worry about.
Every parent hopes that their children will get married and start their own family.
Changan thought for a moment, "Mom and Dad, I can come anytime, the main thing is to take care of Linlin."
Su He, "Then ask Linlin some other day. If both of you are willing, your father and I will propose to you."
"By the way, Changan, where are you two going to live after you get married? A courtyard or a building?"
Changan thought his mother was too fast. They were just talking about marriage, how come they are already married now?
He said, "Mom and Dad, living in a building is too troublesome to live in a yard."
If you live in a yard, you still have to take care of it, but if you live in a building, you just have to take care of your own one and a half acres of land.
Su He said, "Okay, come and look at houses with us some other day, and you can choose the house you want."
The ten buildings she bought have other uses, so she can buy another one for the children.
"All right."
There was no need to postpone the date, as they went to choose a house the next day. Changan thought that it would be just the two of them living there in the future, and if they had children, the maximum number of people would be three.
I chose an apartment of 120 square meters, which is just the right size, not too big or too small.
Su He thought the houses in this community were good, so she bought another ten. She had said before that she wanted to give each of her four children a house and a car worth one hundred thousand yuan when they got married.
I have already bought my son a garage and a car, and all that’s left is to give him money for his wedding.
The house has not been given to the young lady yet.
So he took the property deed and went to find Changyi Han Shuyan.
Changyi and Han Shuyan were puzzled. "Mom and Dad, we can still live in this house for many years. There is no need to buy us a house."
Why did you buy a house for them? They already have a house.
In addition to this set, there is another set with a yard.
Su He, "The four of you are treated the same. You will be given a house, a car and 100,000 yuan to start with. You still lack a house."
"All right."
Han Shuyan said with a smile, "Our parents will give us a house and a car whenever they want."
Chang Yi said, "Well, I'll just keep it now that I bought it."
Who said that parents won't treat their children fairly? Changyi thinks that it is the parents who don't want to treat them fairly. From childhood to adulthood, whatever she has, her younger brother also has, and whatever her younger brother has, she also has.
Their grandparents, uncles, and aunts all treated them fairly.
She has never suffered unfairness since she was a child.
The renovation of the beauty salon and hotel has already begun.
Su He estimated that the beauty salon should be completed by the end of October, and the decoration should take about three months.
Next year, in addition to opening a big hotel, we plan to open the eleven stores in Haishi.
Su He had discussed with Gu Jianhua before, including clothing stores, jewelry stores, tobacco shops, billiard halls, lingerie stores, shoe stores, and cosmetics stores.
These stores were copied in the past.
There are still two clothing stores, one for men's and one for women's, and a jewelry store. The profit margin of the tobacco and alcohol store is very high, so Su He wants to open two in Haishi.
These are already five stores, plus the cosmetics, billiard, shoe, and underwear stores, a total of nine stores.
There are two more.
A Suho wanted to open a beauty salon.
Another one.
Su He plans to open a tableware store specializing in selling tableware.
Although the grocery store in Jingshi also sells tableware, it is a grocery store after all, and it sells other miscellaneous items in addition to tableware.
This shop specializes in selling tableware.
This shop is purely her personal hobby. Yes, in addition to flowers and plants, Su He also likes ceramics. Although she doesn't cook, when you put the dishes on those beautiful plates, you will eat a few more bites and feel happy.
This is my plan for next year. As for the year after, I will open a western restaurant in the first half of the year, but I haven’t decided on the second half of the year yet.
Let’s finish this year and next year first.
Human desires are endless. She originally planned to open ten stores, then give each of her four children a house, and then buy a courtyard house.
Now she is not satisfied with all these. She wants to open 50 stores, and buy at least 10 courtyard houses, and a dozen or twenty small courtyards.
In short, there should be plenty of houses and shops.
