When we were dating, I found a math teacher in their school.
Her father and I secretly investigated her. She has a good character and a clean family background, but she has a little less hair.
Later, Nian Nian comforted us and said that it was normal for people who studied science to have less hair. At worst, he could stop being a class teacher and his hair would grow back after some growth.
When I thought about it, it made sense, so I happily accepted this son-in-law.
It was not until our family gathering that my son-in-law realized what a big family we are, and that there were several people among them whom he often saw in the newspapers. He lamented that he had married a rich girl.
Fortunately, wealth did not blind him, and he continued to live the same simple life as before.
But I no longer complain about the occasional luxury items in my home.
In the past, he always thought that his girlfriend would spend money recklessly, but in the end he chose to be tolerant. He only occasionally gave after-school tutoring to some students with poor academic performance during holidays, hoping to use the extra income to make up for Xiaowen's love of buying luxury goods.
Xiaowen told me that he used to sigh when looking at those luxury items, but he would tell her that he did not deny her preferences and that he would try his best to make more money to give her a better life.
It was also from that time that his father and I became more and more satisfied with this son-in-law, and we even secretly revealed our family background to him.
But he always thought it was the wealth we accumulated when we were young and never thought about it in other ways.
After the family gathering, he completely relaxed and stopped taking after-school tutoring. He enjoyed whatever Xiaowen bought, but never spent money indiscriminately.
Xiaowen lives a simple and happy life. After marriage, she gave birth to a daughter and did not want a second child.
Family planning controls were strict in those years, and they were all teachers, so they could only have one child. Anyway, they felt that there was nothing wrong with only having one child, so we didn't say much. As long as they were happy, that was all that mattered.
The only child who has ever given us a headache is Xiaoli.
Xiaoli became fascinated with catwalk shows when she was in high school. After graduating from high school, she wanted to go out and hang out with the gang, but I forcefully suppressed her desire and sent her to a junior college for another two years.
After graduating from school, she chose to pursue a career as a model, and sometimes made herself look like a ghost.
Of course, we think so, and she herself thinks it is fashionable.
Out of sight, out of mind. I bought her a small apartment and asked her to move out and live there by herself so she wouldn't be an eyesore to us at home.
She was quite happy about moving, saying that I gave her space and freedom, and she even grabbed me and kissed me a few times.
It’s okay that she moved out and didn’t go home, and it’s okay that she plays with some “fashionable” things every day, but the fact that she doesn’t have a partner at her age makes her and her father a little anxious.
What we said to her was useless. There were boys around her, but she called those boys her besties and said that those boys also wanted to find boyfriends and could not be her boyfriend.
What is going on?
If you can't bear to watch it, just don't watch it.
As for Xiaoli, her father and I finally decided to let her go. We gave her some money and let her go out and play on her own. When she gets older and wants to settle down, she might be willing to come home for a blind date and get married.
But we didn't live to see that day. When she was 35 years old, she traveled around the world with a girl. She often called us to report her safety. We also became familiar with the girl she was with and we both had each other's contact information.
When Dalang and I got older, we divided our shares among our children, but we didn’t divide the cash because we still had to make a living.
As for the shares allocated to them, how they use them is their own business.
Every day we take Guohui's son and daughter out to play, and occasionally we take Xiaowen's daughter with us. Xiaowen and her husband also stay with us during every summer and winter vacation.
We are just having fun outside. I buy whatever I like. Other old men and women who go out to travel are not as open-minded as us.
When they talked about it, they said: "I want to go out and see the world when I get older. How can I spend so much money? I have to leave money for my children. For us old bones, it's not important. As long as the children are well, that's all."
We don’t agree with what they said. After working hard all our lives, can’t we spend the money ourselves?
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Leaving them part of our property is a gift from us as parents. However, it is impossible for us to live frugally and suffer for our children.
I smiled without saying anything, then looked at my man and smiled even more brightly.
