Chapter 172 Future Plans
But men's thoughts are often different from women's.
Although the future blueprint constructed by his wife is very beautiful, Shen Jichuan still can't help asking: "Where will my parents live when they come?"
Xia Keqing: ...
She certainly hadn't expected that.
It doesn’t matter, she has another house!
But she didn't say that.
It’s the same old saying, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been a difficult problem.
Although her mother-in-law is her mother's best friend, the two of them actually had a very pleasant time together during the short period of time they spent together during the Chinese New Year.
But even so, Xia Keqing had no plans to let her parents-in-law live in her home.
Of course, after marrying Shen Jichuan, the elderly care issues in the future will be her responsibility, and she will never shirk it, but she will not, and does not have the time and energy to take care of the two elderly people personally.
Perhaps because she was an orphan in her previous life, Xia Keqing has very high requirements for her personal territory.
The reason why Shen Jichuan was included in his future plans was because he was his closely connected other half, that's all.
If one day he wasn't, then he wouldn't be in her future plans.
Xia Keqing looked at Shen Jichuan, "Hubby, you're thinking too far ahead, maybe we won't live here in the future?"
"When I graduate, I plan to open a branch in the city where your army is stationed. Then I will buy a bigger house, or get a piece of land and build a house. This way it will be more convenient for my parents to come and live here, right?"
This is Xia Keqing's true words.
In the future, she will have many houses, even if she builds a villa, if Father and Mother Shen are happy living there, she can give it to them, but they will not live together all the time.
But she never thought of having her parents-in-law come to live here.
She was just "building a nest" temporarily, and she thought of the old man just out of inspiration.
When they are both old and gray, who knows where they will live...
But Shen Jichuan was coaxed by Xia Keqing's description.
"Well, I'll do as you say."
Well, I am included in her future plans. Her business is so successful that she even wants to open a store where his troops are stationed?
I have to say, the old man was really surprised.
He raised the corners of his lips, and couldn't suppress the smile in his eyes.
He added: "I don't really understand any of this, you can pretend however you want."
After hearing this, Xia Keqing glared at Shen Jichuan.
It seems to be saying, look, men are just hands-off bosses, and it’s the same in every era.
However, since he voluntarily handed over his salary, I won't bother with him.
Before leaving, Xia Keqing remembered something, and she took out an envelope from her bosom and handed it to Shen Jichuan.
Shen Jichuan frowned, looking puzzled.
Xia Keqing smiled and said, "Your pocket money."
Shen Jichuan was puzzled, “I kept some for emergency use.”
Xia Keqing: "It's rare that your wife gives you pocket money, but you don't want it?"
“Comrade Shen Jichuan, you have to think carefully. If you don’t want it this time, there will be no more in the future!”
Shen Jichuan: …
Even though he was reluctant, the old man still left.
Xia Keqing's life returned to normal.
But this time, she was much more cautious. She wrote letters every day as usual, but she would not write the letters in advance. Sometimes when she was too busy, she would slow down the frequency of writing letters and coax the old man over there.
Time flies, and two years passed in a flash. It was the end of the year before Xia Keqing graduated.
In recent years, both the Xia family and the Shen family have undergone tremendous changes.
Xia Kexin was admitted to university.
Originally, according to Xia's father and mother's idea, the eldest sister is now in the provincial capital, and the younger sister also goes to the provincial capital to study at university. The two sisters can take care of each other, so they have nothing to worry about.
As a result, in recent years, Xia Kexin has become very independent-minded.
She didn't say anything openly, but secretly applied for a university in Beijing.
By the time Xia's father and mother found out, the admission letters had already been sent out.
When Mr. and Mrs. Xia saw the university in Beijing, Mrs. Xia's eyes went dark.
But the die is cast and there is nothing that can be done.
So, when Xia Kexin went home for the New Year, her mother couldn't help but nag, "You're grown up now, and your parents can't control you anymore. Look at you, your school is so far away, and you can't come back except for a few days during the New Year. What do you want, you little girl?"
Xia Kexin chuckled and changed the subject, "Mom, when will my sister come back?"
Mother Xia's attention was instantly diverted. "Your sister is the same. Your brother-in-law said he would arrange a job for her in the army after graduation, but she refused and insisted on doing some clothing business. Is that possible?"
Xia Kexin: “…”
People of Xia's mother's generation are obsessed with the sense of security provided by the organization.
And when you get older, you tend to nag.
Xia Kexin thought to herself, this is why she applied to a university in Beijing, which is far away.
Of course, my main goal is to be like my sister and try to make a name for myself on my own.
"Mom, look, is there a car coming over there? That must be my sister coming back!"
Having said that, he ran away.
Xia Keqing bought a car, a Fiat for 5,000 yuan, a hot hatch of the era that was small, light, and cheap. It is equivalent to the "chopped pepper fish head" in later generations.
It certainly couldn't compare to Shen Jichuan's military jeep, but Xia Keqing liked it very much.
And it’s very face-saving to drive it home every year.
Of course I drove it home to celebrate the New Year this year.
Since he got a wife, almost every year, Shen Jichuan would go directly back to the provincial capital, pick up his wife, and then go home together.
But ever since Xia Keqing was caught two years ago, she has paid more attention to the old man. This year, she made a special trip to the military unit, and the unit gave her some money for visiting relatives.
According to Xia Keqing, this money is a welfare provided by the government to the soldiers, so they must implement it resolutely.
So this year Xia Keqing went to the army, and the two returned to the provincial capital together.
The reason why it is so troublesome is because of Brother Shen and his wife.
Brother Shen opened a noodle shop in the provincial capital for a year and earned enough money to buy a house.
I had planned to go home and build a new house.
But when Mrs. Shen saw that Xia Keqing bought a house, she became jealous, so she took out her own savings and took out a loan to buy a small three-bedroom apartment.
Brother Shen has no temper at all.
There's nothing he can do about it. His wife is rich and has her own opinions. Even if he has opinions, she will probably not listen.
Mrs. Shen is wearing a red down jacket today, and the trunk of her car is filled with New Year's goods to bring home.
They earned more this year than last year, and the couple couldn't stop smiling.
It’s just that Xia Keqing’s car is small and the trunk is not big enough, so the two of them sat in the back, holding various large and small bags in their hands.
"Third sister-in-law, you don't have to come back to pick us up in the future. I have discussed with your eldest brother that we will buy a car after the New Year."
Xia Keqing smiled, "That's great. I was planning to give the store manager a car. You guys can buy it yourself, and I'll give you a subsidy for the purchase."
Mrs. Shen was no longer a country woman who had never seen the world. She was even happier after hearing this. "Third sister-in-law, please don't scare me."
Xia Keqing smiled and said, "When have I ever scared you?"
Mrs. Shen: "That's great! If our company gives us a subsidy, Dachuan and I can save a lot of money!"
Xia Keqing's factory has already started production.
Now it can basically meet the needs of four brand franchise stores.
The store and the factory had already grown to a certain scale, so Xia Keqing registered a company and rented a place specifically for use as an office.
