Chapter 371 Yang Jiadong brings his girlfriend home
In May 1994, Yang Jiabao and Xu Manman returned with their three-month-old child.
"Oh, grandma's little granddaughter, you're finally back. Xinxin, come and take a look, this is your little brother. From now on, you two should get along well with each other. Now you have a companion." Jiang Xinbai said with a smile as he looked at his eldest granddaughter who was looking curious.
Yang Dingxin asked curiously: "Grandma, is he also born by my mother?"
As soon as this was said, everyone laughed, "Of course your mother gave birth to the child, or did she pick him up?"
"That's right, children are children, and their words are very interesting."
Sun Erni was very happy to see her little great-grandson. She smiled and took out a box from her small cloth bag. "Here, this is for my great-grandson."
"Grandma, what is this?" Yang Jiabao took it with a smile, opened it and was delighted, "Grandma, this is such a generous gift! These two gold bracelets are not cheap, right?"
Jiang Xinbai leaned over to take a look and laughed as well, "Mom, when did you go to buy it? Gold is quite expensive now, you must have spent a lot of money, right?"
Sun Erni raised her chin and said proudly, "Your father and I have visited several gold shops, and this one has the best-looking designs. They say it's 135 per gram, and two bracelets weigh about 22 grams, plus the labor cost, it's just over 3,000."
"Wow, Mom, you are so generous to your great-grandson." Yang Jinsheng smiled and gave a thumbs up.
At this time, Yang Dingxin looked at the gold bracelet in her father's hand and asked, "Grandma, don't you have Xinxin's? Xinxin wants one too."
Xu Manman smiled, picked up her daughter and explained with a smile: "How can there be no one for you? Grandma also bought it for you, and mom saved it for you. I will show it to you when I get home, okay?"
Yang Dingxin smiled happily when she heard her mother say that. "Yeah, I have one too."
Seeing how cute she was, Jiang Xinbai couldn't help but twist her face and said with a smile, "Xinxin, grandpa and grandma save small gold bars for you every year. When you grow up, you will have lots of gold bars. You can make any design you want in the future, and never make the same design every day."
"Wow, thank you Grandpa and grandma." The little girl thanked them in a baby voice, which made Jiang Xinbai squeeze her again.
When he got home that night, Yang Jiabao quietly took out a large box from his bag and said with a smile, "Manman, look what this is?"
Xu Manman glanced at the box and asked in surprise, "Is this gold?"
Yang Jiabao smiled as he opened the box, revealing a gold bar inside. "This is what Mom gave to Xiaobo. This one is worth fifty. I bought it from the bank, so there's no labor cost."
Xu Manman touched the gold bar and smiled. "Mom is so good to her children. When Xinxin was born, she gave her a 50-gram gold bar. And every year on her birthday, she saves her a 10-gram gold bar. She said she would give it to her until she turns 18. According to the current gold price, the total is more than 30,000 yuan."
Yang Jiabao shook his finger and said with a smile, "More than that, isn't it? Now that Xiaobo is born, Mom will have to prepare two gold bars every year. When Jiadong gets married and has children, we will also have to prepare some."
"That's for sure. My parents have always treated everyone equally." Xu Manman had no doubt about this. Her parents-in-law would not favor the younger son just because he had a good job, nor would they favor the older son just because he was around. Basically, whatever the eldest had, the second would have as well.
As they were talking, Jiang Xinbai also received a call from Yang Jiadong.
"Hey, mom, it's me, Jiadong."
"I know it's you. What's wrong? Didn't you say you were busy with a project recently?" Jiang Xinbai was still resentful that the call was hung up before he could say a few words.
"Mom, you're still angry. Something really happened that time, but you will definitely be happy with what I'm going to tell you now." Yang Jiadong kept the secret.
Jiang Xinbai leaned on the sofa and asked leisurely: "What can definitely make me happy? Did you win the lottery?"
"Hey, Mom, I'm going to bring my girlfriend home to meet you this Saturday. This is a happy event, right? You should be happy too!"
Jiang Xinbai jumped up from the sofa upon hearing this and quickly glanced at the calendar on the wall. "You little brat, today is already Thursday, and you're just saying this now. What are you thinking? We haven't prepared anything at home. Look, what kind of thing are you doing?"
Yang Jiadong was so shocked by his mother's loud voice that he put the microphone aside, smiled at his girlfriend Xu Ruoxue, and then continued: "Mom, I just finished work, and I thought I could have a few days off, so I brought Xiaoxue home to visit you."
Jiang Xinbai was helpless, "Then you should have told me in advance. Okay, then when will you get home? I'll ask your dad to pick you up."
"No, we can just take a taxi home. Well, we'll be there around noon. Mom, that's all for now. I still have to go out and buy something for my nephew."
"Okay, I'm hanging up."
As soon as Yang Jiadong hung up the phone, Xu Ruoxue looked at her boyfriend worriedly and asked, "Jiadong, does your aunt dislike me?"
"No, why would you think so? My mother just has a loud voice. She thinks I didn't inform her in advance and the house is a mess. She is afraid that you will dislike it, so she is probably preparing for a big cleaning now!" Yang Jiadong said with a smile to comfort him.
"Ah? That's too hard for your aunt. You can call her and tell her. It's okay. How about I pay someone to go to your house and clean it?" Xu Ruoxue thought about it and realized that it was impossible to ask her aunt not to clean the house, so she could always pay for it herself!
Yang Jiabao hugged his girlfriend tightly and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue, you are so nice. But don't worry, my mother won't tire herself out. She will definitely hire someone to clean the house, so don't worry."
"Well, that's good. My aunt is quite open-minded. I was afraid that she would think I was spending money recklessly!" Xu Ruoxue thought that it would be good for her future mother-in-law to be open-minded, so as to avoid conflicts in the future.
"As for you, you'll know when you meet my mother, she is a very good person." After all, mother is the best in the eyes of her son.
On Saturday, Jiang Xinbai was busy at home all morning, and they arrived when she finished the last dish.
"Come, come, come in quickly, Xiaoxue, come in and sit down. What do you like to drink? Here we have tea, juice, yogurt, Coke and Sprite. Drink whatever you like, and you can eat soon."
Jiang Xinbai liked Xu Ruoxue the moment he saw her. This girl looked gentle and refined, and was a perfect match for her youngest son.
Xu Ruoxue was a little flattered, and quickly said: "Auntie, no, I'm not thirsty. Auntie, this is a gift I brought for you and uncle, I don't know what you like."
Jiang Xinbai looked at the gift boxes lined up in the corner, his mouth almost crooked with smile, "Xiaoxue, I'm sorry to have cost you money, but as long as it's bought by you, we like it. Come on, wash your hands and eat first."
"Mom, my brother and sister-in-law are not here?" Yang Jiadong looked around and found that only his parents were at home.
"They will be here in the evening, so you should wash your hands and have dinner! Xiaoxue, I heard from Jiadong that you like steamed sea bass. See if what Auntie makes suits your taste. And these braised prawns are also very fresh." Jiang Xinbai used the serving chopsticks to pick up two prawns for Xu Ruoxue.
"Auntie, I know you are a great cook just by looking at the appearance of this dish. It must be delicious. Thank you for your hard work, Auntie."
Jiang Xinbai was so coaxed that her eyes were almost smiling. She picked up the prawns in her bowl and put them into an empty bowl and handed it to her youngest son, "Jiadong, peel the prawns for Xiaoxue."
"Auntie, no need, I can do it myself." Xu Ruoxue looked at Yang Jiadong somewhat embarrassedly.
"It's okay, let him peel them so that your hands won't get dirty. Jiadong, peel a few more."
Yang Jiadong stood up and washed his hands, then smiled helplessly, "Xiaoxue, you see, I'm no longer popular with my mom since you've come."
"Don't you take care of your girlfriend? Go and peel her off quickly. You're jealous of Xiaoxue." Jiang Xinbai smiled and tapped his youngest son's forehead from a distance.
