Grandma Yan was not polite. Chen Chuchu asked her to accept the red envelope. After refusing several times, she finally accepted it.
I am not greedy for the few dollars, but I cannot spoil my granddaughter's fun. I will accept the red envelope first and find a way to return it to the child later. It is not easy for her to work outside and she earns her money through hard work.
Hu Yumei took out an envelope and handed it to Chen Yuan, who then handed it to Yan Fengchai: "Brother Yan, it's really hard for you to send our two children to school.
Chuchu will be the daughter of our two families in the future, and we should help each other like brothers. This is a small gift from me, don't think it's too little, take it.
The two children are still growing up, and studying is very demanding on their brains, so they should be given some supplements. They are so thin that it makes me feel sorry for them."
Yan Hui and Yan Jun are really thin, like sticks, and they can be blown away by strong winds.
Fu Haozhe also took out an envelope and handed it to Chen Chuchu, who handed it to Lan Guihua: "Mom! This is a little gift from me. Our house is almost a dangerous building. It's time to renovate it so that we can live in peace.
Haozhe and I are quite busy, so it's not easy for us to come here. Don't be polite to me. If you have any problems at home in the future, tell me and I will find a way. It will be fine when my younger brothers finish their studies and start working. "
Lan Guihua declined: "Nannan! I know your feelings. I heard that you are getting married soon. I can't give you anything. You can keep the money to buy something. Don't worry about us."
Yan Fengchai suddenly had an idea: "Have you bought the furniture for the wedding? If not, we have to make some at home. The fir trees are all ready-made, and there are several of them planted next to the private plot.
It was planted when you were born. Your grandfather said he would build a house full of furniture for you, fearing that you would be looked down upon when you went to your husband's house. "
Chen Chuchu was startled, then smiled: "If that's the case, that's fine. I want to make a large wardrobe, a chest of drawers, a bunk bed, and a dressing table. Just these four things. I don't need the rest."
Grandma Yan readily agreed: "Okay, I'll go talk to the carpenter and ask him to free up some time. Chuchu from our family needs to prepare a dowry."
He stuffed the envelope into Lan Guihua's hand again: "Mom! To pay for the dowry, you need to hire a carpenter to provide food, buy vegetables and meat, and buy cigarettes. Leave the money here. There are meat coupons, cloth coupons, sugar coupons, wine coupons, cigarette coupons, etc. in it. Just use it. Why are you being polite to your own daughter?"
Hu Yumei pulled Lan Guihua aside and whispered, "If you don't accept the first gift Chuchu gave you, she will be sad and think you don't treat her as your own daughter.
From now on, she will accept everything she gives you, and you can also bring her anything you have. With this give-and-take, the relationship between mother and daughter will become stronger day by day.
Chuchu and her husband both work in the city, so it's a bit far away. You should visit her often when you have time. We are in Kyoto, so we are far away. We can only call and write letters. They don't have any relatives here, so you should take care of them more during the holidays."
"Hey! Hey! I got it. Thank you for teaching Chuchu so well and brilliantly."
Lan Guihua was grateful to Hu Yumei from the bottom of her heart. Chuchu was really good. Not only was she good-looking, she also had a job. It would be a good idea for her to marry a man who was many times better than Yan Ru, whom she had taught.
"I'm older than you, so we should just treat each other as sisters. Everything is for the child." Hu Yumei looked at her graceful daughter with a relieved smile on her face.
After some polite exchanges, everyone was about to leave, fearing that it would be too late and make the police wait.
Grandpa Yan watched the car carrying his son and daughter-in-law go away before he took out the red envelope from his pocket, opened it, and found two big unity notes inside.
The same goes for Grandma Yan’s, and the two brothers Yan Hui and Yan Jun each have a big unity photo.
Grandpa Yan handed the red envelope to Grandma Yan: "Please keep it! A real granddaughter is a real granddaughter, and her words are very touching. Xiao Min has never given me so much money at once, and she has never told me to buy whatever I want to eat."
"How can they be the same? Don't you see Chuchu's family conditions? Her parents are both doctors and well-educated, so it's natural that their daughter will be different." Grandma Yan sighed, "Our family is poor, and Xiaomin despises us and embarrasses her.
Forget it, if they look down on me, they look down on me, it doesn’t matter, I have a son, a daughter-in-law, two grandchildren, and Chuchu. This child has been well educated and speaks gently and considerately.
You should find someone to cut down the trees as soon as possible. She is getting married on May 1st, so the dowry is a bit rushed. As long as you give her cash, she can definitely get it done. You should also make an appointment with the painter early and give him a deposit first, so that he won’t agree to someone else’s.
"Hey! I'll go right away." Grandpa Yan put his hands behind his back and walked away with a smile.
Carpenters and painters are all from the village, so it's easy to find them. Now is the slack season, everyone is staying at home, so it's not easy to find people to work.
It’s definitely not too late to get married on May Day.
The living trees were not dry enough after being cut down, and there were some dry fir trees on the upstairs, which were originally intended to be used to repair the house. If my granddaughter wants to use them, she should be given the first chance.
The grass on the edge of the private plot is cut and left to dry. After a year or so, it can be used to build a house.
In Sanduo Village, Sanduo Town, Liu Fusheng appeared at his doorstep early in the morning with a satchel on his back.
Wang Xiangying and Liu Degui had just gotten up, and when they saw him, the expressions on their faces were not joy, but anger.
"Liu Fusheng! You finally decided to come back? Why didn't you send money back for the New Year? Are you planning to starve me and your father to death?" Wang Xiangying stretched out her hand to him, "Where's the money? Give it to me."
Liu Degui stared at him sinisterly without saying a word. Every time he asked Liu Fusheng for money, Wang Xiangying would come forward and make peace only after he got irritated.
"Money, money, money. You only know how to ask for money. I didn't go home for the New Year, and you didn't even ask me what I was doing outside?" Liu Fusheng stared at Wang Xiangying blankly, reached into his bag and pressed it, making a "click" sound. "Are you still my mother?"
"Of course I am." Wang Xiangying stiffened her neck and roared, "What's wrong with you? You're angry as soon as you get home? What's wrong with asking you to take the money? You are my son, you should support me and this family."
Liu Fusheng sneered and asked, "What if I'm not your son? Do I still need to support you?"
Liu Degui and Wang Xiangying looked at each other, both of them showing confusion and guilt in their eyes. Could it be that he knew their own life experience?
"How could you not be our son?" Wang Xiangying's eyes flickered as she argued, "You are our son and you must support us. Otherwise, you are a rebellious son and I will go to the army to sue you."
"Sure! Go ahead and sue me. I want to find out. What made you steal me from the Xisi Town Health Center? And what made you steal me and not treat me well?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Degui's eyes widened. He stared at Liu Fusheng and asked fiercely: "Who told you this? Where did you hear it from? What Xisi Town? What about stealing children?
What have you learned in the army these years? Believe in other people's nonsense? Come home and question your parents? "
Liu Fusheng stared back at Liu Fusheng, and their eyes met, sparks and lightning flew.
"I'm talking nonsense? I'm questioning my parents? Are you my parents? Look at the two of you, and then look at me. How are you similar to the Liu family?"
