Chapter 259 Son-in-law's Day

259 Son-in-law's Day

When brothers Tang Xu and Tang Hui returned, Qin's mother talked about Tang Xu's wife.

"Now, whenever you have time, you take your children to visit your second uncle and your second aunt. This is a rare filial piety."

Shen Yiyi smiled: "Isn't that great? My second uncle and aunt will be happy to see their grandchildren."

"Your second uncle is very happy, but your second aunt is not easy to fool. She knows what's going on!" said Qin's mother.

When their daughter-in-law brings their grandchildren over, the two elders will prepare some delicious food for them, stew a chicken for them to nourish them, and give them a dime or two in pocket money on weekdays, but forget about anything else.

If they need homework, stationery, etc., let the grandchildren ask their father.

My second aunt and uncle earn quite a lot, but they don’t plan to spend the money. Instead of spending it on this, they might as well save it and buy a gold ring or gold earrings!

Because the money spent on grandchildren, everyone will feel that it is deserved!

Why? After raising my son with so much difficulty, I have to raise my grandson now. I have to tire them to death, right?

It’s good enough that they didn’t ask them for retirement money!

Another thing is, they used all their money to subsidize the family, but did they get anything good in the end?

My second aunt said that she stewed chicken for her grandchildren and gave them some pocket money, which was already generous of a grandparent. The rest was not their responsibility and they should not be expected to take care of it.

The eldest son's wife's plan is doomed to fail.

As early as two or three years ago, they had let it go. As long as they had money in their own hands, it was the kingly way. When they had money, their sons and daughters-in-law were all polite to them. Even if they didn't give them subsidies now, they still didn't dare to act rashly.

If they have no money, it will be of no use no matter how good they are.

Don't blame them for being so realistic now. This is what their son and daughter-in-law taught them: money is the only reliable thing.

Shen Yiyi also smiled when she heard this.

It is very rare to find a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who get along as well as she and Qin's mother. You may not be able to find a pair like them among ten thousand pairs.

In fact, most of them are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships like Jiang Xiangyi and Qin's mother, and Tang's second aunt and her two daughters-in-law.

So there is a situation where mothers-in-law gather together to say bad things about their daughters-in-law, and daughters-in-law gather together to say bad things about their mothers-in-law.

The first day of the new year passed just like this.

The second day of the Chinese New Year is the day when the daughter and son-in-law come to visit.

Qin Ru and Su Yaozu came with their four children.

"Mom and Dad, we're here." Su Yaozu had just reached the door when his voice came in.

"Woof woof." Ah Fu called.

Mother Qin smiled and comforted Ah Fu, "These are our family members."

Ah Fu is the offspring of a retired military dog ​​and a female dog. He has inherited his father's fine traditions and is very spiritual.

Qin Lie estimated that Ah Fu had the IQ of a six or seven-year-old child. After Qin Lie came back, he took Ah Fu out for a run every morning.

So much so that Ah Fu is particularly close to him.

After hearing what Qin's mother said, the fat and strong Ah Fu stopped shouting.

Qin Ru and her husband also came in with their children.

"Second sister, second brother-in-law, Happy New Year." Qin Hong smiled when she saw them coming back.

"Happy New Year, little sister." Su Yaozu walked in carrying things and smiled.

The couple brought a lot of things, including candies, snacks, cigarettes and alcohol.

Although no one in the Qin family smokes, it only happens once a year during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. Su Yaozu, the son-in-law, has never been stingy about this and smokes every year.

Even if they don't smoke at home, can't they let their uncles like Qin Feng and Qin Lie take them to visit relatives?

That's what these things are like during the Chinese New Year.

"Grandma, Grandpa, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Auntie!"

"Big uncle, big aunt, little uncle, little aunt, everyone also happy new year!"

There are also New Year greetings from nephews and nieces.

Mother Qin was very happy and responded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, happy new year!"

I brought out some snacks for my grandchildren and also shared some candies from home.

Of course, so do the grandchildren.

Father Qin was in a good mood when he saw a room full of children. He said to his eldest grandson, "Xiang Qian has drawn quite a few this year."

Qin Ru's four children are named Su Xiangqian, Su Lian, Su Jinbu and Su Xiaofu.

Except for the daughter Su Lian, the names of the three sons together mean forward progress and small wealth.

Su Xiangqian has entered the age of rapid puberty this year. He seems to have grown a lot this year and is now about 1.6 meters tall.

"Yes, you've grown a lot. The clothes I bought for you last year can't fit you this year." Qin Ru said with a smile.

Neither she nor Su Yaozu are short, and their children are not short either, and they look pretty good.

"Even now, the little boys are so poor that I have to make four bowls of rice for one meal, not counting the vegetables!" said Su Yaozu.

Su Xiangqian chuckled and said, "I will honor you in the future."

"Look, I don't know who he learned this skill from. He always likes to draw cakes for me." Su Yaozu scolded with a smile.

It may seem like they are complaining about the pressure, but when people reach a certain age, they feel very comfortable when they see their children growing up healthily.

Mother Qin said, "You are still talking about Xiang Qian. Didn't you go through his age? And the eldest and the third child were all like this when they were this age. Their stomachs were like bottomless pits. No matter how much they ate, they could never feel full."

"Back then, we didn't have enough oil and water, and relying on those coarse grains alone was not enough to fill our stomachs," said Su Yaozu.

So everyone started to recall the good and bad times around this topic.

I feel that this generation of children has really fallen into a nest of luck. They really had to tighten their belts to make ends meet back then.

But now the children are definitely well fed and well clothed.

For example, Su Yaozu is the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau, and his monthly salary has now increased to RMB 65.

Qin Ru is also the director of the Women's Federation. Although she went for further studies this year, she was still paid. She received a salary every month, as well as benefits during the New Year and other holidays.

Both of them have middle-income, so raising four children is not a big problem these days.

After all, it's not a waste of money.

As for the parents at home, the older sisters would also bring some money back to honor them, especially the wealthy fourth sister Su Lihua. The red envelopes she gave to the two elders every year were enough for them to eat and drink for a whole year.

It also reduces the pressure of supporting their parents in old age.

Su Yaozu also asked about what his elder brother-in-law Qin Feng was doing in the south.

Outsiders didn't know what was going on, but Qin Ru, the daughter of the emperor, knew it. Since she knew Su Yaozu, she would know it too.

Qin Feng also talked about the situation in the south.

Su Yaozu said: "It is now a benchmark for economic development. It is not bad for you to go there, brother. There are many opportunities. However, it is definitely not easy in the initial stage of starting a business."

"Only those who endure hardships can become successful people. A little hardship is nothing." Qin Feng smiled.
