Chapter 412 Finale 1

Time flies, and soon it is the end of the year. Gu Changjun is going home for the New Year, so he invites Cheng Peien if he wants to go to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

As a future daughter-in-law, I have never been to my parents-in-law’s house.

Cheng Pei'en wanted to go, so he asked his father and mother. His father and mother had no objection and told him to go if he wanted to. It would also be nice to meet other relatives.

But there was one thing she wanted to remind Cheng's mother, "You two are not married yet, so you can't sleep together!"

Relatives are nice, but if you get pregnant before marriage, that won’t have a good impact.

Cheng Peien, "No, Mom, I'm not stupid."

How could she do that? Gu Changjun would never touch her.

Cheng's mother: "It's OK as long as you know it."

"By the way, take this thousand yuan. It's your first visit, so you shouldn't go empty-handed. Buy something for his family."

"You don't have to buy for everyone, but you should buy for the important ones, such as Changyun's grandpa, grandma, and grandma, as well as his sister's children and brother's children."

Cheng Peien, "Yeah, I understand, Mom."

When her in-laws came home in the summer, they brought the best gifts, including tea, wine, sea cucumbers and abalone. She was reluctant to use them and saved them for entertaining relatives during the New Year.

When the four elders heard that their grandson and his wife were coming to celebrate the New Year, they were so happy that they prepared a lot of delicious food and of course New Year red envelopes as well.

They have only seen photos of my grandson and daughter-in-law but have never met her in person, so they are looking forward to meeting her.

Cheng Peien followed her mother's instructions and bought gifts for the four elders, Suisui, and Yuanshan. After that, she wanted to buy a gift for her future mother-in-law, but she didn't have enough money.

Never mind.

She can buy it for her mother-in-law when she has money.

After buying things, I carried my bags and headed north with Gu Changyun.

Changyi and Changan, the older sister and brother, went to the train station to pick them up.

Cheng Paine had seen dragon and phoenix twins before, but he had only seen them when they were small and had never seen them grow up. So when he saw Chang Yi and Chang An, he was a little curious for a moment.

She said, "My elder sister looks alike to my elder brother. Do you and your younger sister look so alike as well?"

Gu Changjun: "About the same."

Cheng Pei'en felt that Gu Changjun looked like his father, his mother, and his sister and brother.

It's amazing that people can tell at a glance that they are a family.

After arriving home, Cheng Peien looked at the big villa in front of him and was surprised, "Changjun, you live in a villa?"

Gu Changyun, "I used to live in a tube-shaped building, but I moved here a few years ago."

"Oh, the tube building is not convenient."

"Yes, the kitchen and bathroom are outside, shared by several families."

The two followed Changyi and Changan into the house.

Su He came up to him with a smile, "Are you cold on the way, kid?"

Cheng Peien, "It's okay, Auntie. It's warm in the car."

"Hurry up and sit down."

Changjun took Cheng Peien to greet the four elders.

Mother Gu said, "This child is so handsome, even prettier than in the photo."

Su's mother agreed, "Yes, she looks like a movie star."

He cooked a bowl of noodles for the two of them to fill their stomachs, and then they sat in the living room and chatted for a while. Then Su He asked Chang Jun and Cheng Payne to go upstairs to rest.

"You two must not have gotten enough rest on the train. Take a shower and have a good sleep. We'll go out for lunch at noon."

"That's fine."

Su He took Cheng Peien upstairs. Since the two children were not married yet, they could only live in Changjun's room for now, and let Changjun live in Changhuan's room.

"Payne, Auntie has prepared some clothes for you in this closet. They've all been washed."

“There are shoes in the shoe closet, too.”

Cheng Pei'en went over to take a look and saw that there were pajamas, sweaters, coats, down jackets and all kinds of clothes.

She thanked him obediently, "Thank you, Auntie."

Su He said, "Why are you being polite? We are family. Go and have a good rest. I will call you down for dinner later."

"Okay, Auntie."

Living in my boyfriend's room has a special feeling.

Gu Changjun did not go to bed immediately, but ran to the room and shared everything in his bedroom with Cheng Peien.

"I picked up this stone when I was a kid on the beach in my hometown. It looked pretty, so I kept it."

Gu Changjun took out the Yuhua Stone that he had collected for many years. It was red in color, like red agate, and very beautiful.

Cheng Peien, "Why is this stone so red?"

Gu Changjun: "It's Yuhua Stone."

"And this one, which I also collected when I was a child, is a leaf."

He took out a book and opened it. The leaves were so dry that he had to handle it carefully or they would break.

Cheng Peien, "The leaves are really well-shaped, especially like leaves of trees."

"Yeah, I collected it because it looks pretty."

The couple chatted for a while, and Gu Changjun shared all his rare things with Cheng Peien. Sharing with classmates is one feeling, and sharing with one's future partner is another feeling.

After washing up, they slept for a while.

Around twelve o'clock, Su He went upstairs to wake them up and went to Gu's restaurant for dinner.

When they arrived, Changjun introduced the place to Cheng Peien, "This is also owned by my parents."

Cheng Peien, "Is this also owned by your uncle and aunt? It's so big?"

Gu Changyun, "Is it big? My parents think it's too small and say we should have a big hotel."

Cheng Peien, "This is not that big, it's three stories high."

As soon as she entered the restaurant, Cheng Peien saw a big turtle in the pool at the door. She was surprised, "What a big turtle."

Chang Yun explained, "My mother bought it at the Bird's Nest Market more than ten years ago, and raised it like this, and it grew bigger and bigger."

It is indeed quite novel to put a big turtle at the entrance of the hotel. Guests coming in and out all want to take a look at it.

"It's really well raised."

As she walked and looked around, she had to admit that the decoration of her in-laws' hotel was really nice. She saw a piece of meat stone on the table in the second-floor lobby. Cheng Peien went over to touch it and said with a smile, "It really looks like meat."

"Yes, that's why it's called meat stone."

The decoration of her in-laws' hotel is not only beautiful, but also feels novel and unique.

They are a wealthy family, as every private room has a sofa, air conditioning, TV, and even a disinfection cabinet.

The chairs, tables, doors, etc. in the private room are all made of solid wood, looking high-end and classy.

The waiter came over to take the order, and of course Cheng Peien, the guest who came from afar, ordered first.

Although I don’t spend money on my own hotel, the food prices are really not cheap.

Cheng Peien ordered two dishes and gave the menu to others.

After the dishes were served, Cheng Peien felt that although the food at the restaurant opened by her parents-in-law was expensive, the taste and service were really good.

She felt that people like her second sister and her second brother-in-law would often dine in such high-end hotels because it was prestigious.

...........

The New Year of 1994 is approaching quickly.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Su He gave his future daughter-in-law a New Year's gift of 10,000 yuan, and the four elders each gave 1,000 yuan. Changyi and Changan, the sister and brother, also gave 1,000 yuan each.

Cheng Peien earned 16,000 yuan in the morning.

She was totally confused. Is this how rich people give New Year's money?

Before that, he went on to visit relatives and friends to wish them a happy new year. He met his target's three uncles and collected another 3,000 yuan.

It’s already 19,000.

The next day, I continued visiting my two aunts’ homes.

My income is one thousand, but the New Year's money alone is already twenty thousand.

Cheng Peien was terrified. This was too much!

She didn't even know whether their family had a total savings of 20,000 yuan, but she received 20,000 yuan within a day or two.

Is this reasonable?

Gu Changyun said, "Just take it if it's given to you. It's nothing."

Cheng Peien, "Changjun, this is the first time I've seen so much money."

The most money she had ever seen was when her second sister got married and her second brother-in-law's family gave her 6,600 yuan as a dowry.

Gu Changyun, "From now on, I will give you my salary for safekeeping, so that you can see a lot of money."

Cheng Peien laughed, "To be honest, our combined wages over the years have not been as high as what I earned in one day."

The monthly salary at my workplace is only a few hundred yuan.

No other job can compare to being a businessman, because businessmen make the most money.

Gu Changyun said, "Don't worry, I have tens of thousands of New Year's gifts, I'll give them to you to keep after we get married."

"After we get married, the financial power of the family will be handed over to you."

"OK."

The New Year passed quickly, and Gu Changjun followed Cheng Peien back to Hai City, since school was about to start anyway.

After returning home, Cheng Peien gave the New Year's money she received from her future in-laws' family to Cheng's father and mother.

Mother Cheng said, "Your in-laws are really amazing."

"Don't worry, this money is for you to save as a dowry. Mom and Dad won't spend it."

They are just an ordinary family, none of their in-laws are rich. Although their in-laws have prepared everything for their children's wedding, they cannot go there empty-handed.

What needs to be prepared still needs to be prepared.

For example, the furniture and appliances for the two children’s small Western-style house were bought by them when they got married.
