Chapter 143 One Million
After taking Bai Xue back to the guesthouse, the sun was already setting.
Silky red clouds filled the sky, and golden rays shone through the clouds, illuminating the earth and leaving behind a last warmth.
The shadows of the plane trees lining the street were stretched long, and the aroma wafted from the residents' kitchens, creating a scene full of the warmth of everyday life.
Gu Yiye started the car and drove his young wife home.
Lin Shanshan had already sat back in the passenger seat, feeling bored. She remembered the savings book Bai Xue had given her and took it in her hand to examine it.
The passbook cover is green with red text, and there is a large red five-pointed star ★ at the top.
The words "Current Account Savings Passbook" are printed below.
In the center is a quote from a great man: "Save every penny for the cause of war and revolution, for our economic development..."
The back cover also features a quote from a great man: "To make a country rich, it takes decades of hard work, including implementing a policy of thrift and anti-waste in building the country."
Lin Shanshan opened the passbook, which contained a handwritten passbook statement. The top of the statement was 1, followed by a string of zeros. Lin Shanshan counted the zeros once, and then again.
After confirming several times, he took a deep breath and said, "Brother Gu, Mom gave me 1 million!"
[Don't argue. Saying that nobody in the 1970s could come up with a million dollars? I checked. In 1974, Li Ka-shing invested $27 million to buy China Building. Bai Xue's Hong Kong husband is portrayed as a wealthy Hong Kong businessman, not as rich as Li Ka-shing, but he could still leave Bai Xue ten or twenty million dollars. What's wrong with Bai Xue giving her son a million dollars?!]
Gu Yiye was also a little surprised, and with a touch of emotion, he said, "So many!"
Lin Shanshan nodded: "Yes, it seems that Mom really wants to make it up to her."
Lin Shanshan knew that Gu Yiye didn't want to continue this topic. As for how far the mother-son relationship would go in the future, it would depend on the accumulation of time.
Lin Shanshan changed the subject, saying happily, "Now that we have such a large sum of money, the school can be run much better. We don't have to be stingy anymore. We'll finalize the address tomorrow and then go order some experimental equipment."
Lin Shanshan said about her plan: "I'll buy it domestically and then modify it. It will be even better than importing it from abroad."
Before we knew it, we were home.
Gu Yiye parked the car and saw Lin Shanshan looking spirited. The emotion in her dark eyes was gentler than the night and the spring breeze.
"Shanshan, we're home."
Lin Shanshan nodded, stopped talking, turned around and met Gu Yiye's affectionate and tender gaze, her ears involuntarily turning red.
Gu Yiye leaned over and kissed Lin Shanshan's cute earlobe, saying in a hoarse voice, "Get out of the car and have dinner."
Lin Shanshan's ears turned red and quickly spread across her entire face, her heart pounding in her chest.
She scolded herself: "I'm so useless. We've been married for so long, and I still blush at the slightest touch."
After calming down, Lin Shanshan got out of the car.
The two walked into the living room hand in hand and saw that Aunt Xiang had already set out the food. She smiled and said, "Xiao Gu, Shan Shan, you're back! The chef cooked again today. Wash your hands and you can eat."
Lin Shanshan asked, "Aunt Xiang, hasn't Grandpa come back yet?"
Aunt Xiang replied, "She's back. Xiao Su came over today and waited for the general all afternoon. As soon as the general came back, she started crying and saying something. Later, the general took her to the study, and she hasn't come down yet."
The "Little Su" Aunt Xiang mentioned must be Su Qingman. What is she doing here?
Could it be that they're pleading for Ming Kun's sake?!
