Chapter 301 Mom, are you going to destroy the bridge after crossing it?
Wen Shuanghua looked at the delicious dishes on the table and said with a smile, "Xiaowu, my son may not be good at other things, but he is a good cook. When he is at home in the future, you can let him cook."
Huo Lanci glanced at his mother unhappily and said, "Mom, are you destroying the bridge after crossing it? You used me to marry your daughter-in-law, and then you dislike me."
Wen Shuanghua smiled faintly: "You are quite self-aware."
"Be nice to Xiaowu in the future, or I will cause trouble for you."
Huo Lanci looked at Yu Wanqing and whispered, "Did you hear that? My status in this family is just that low." He thought for a moment and frowned, "Now that I think about it, my status seems to be even lower than that of my eldest brother."
"At least Wen Nu Tu won't tease my eldest brother."
Huo Jianying patted her son on the shoulder and said, "Son, this has just begun, so don't think too much about it now. Things like this will happen frequently in the future."
Huo Lanci sighed: "Dad, I feel a little sorry for you."
"My eldest brother lives in the house allocated by the unit, and I am in the South Island. We are not with Comrade Wen. Even if we are scolded or enslaved, it is only occasionally." Thinking about his own old father, who is already old, sometimes he would have his ears pulled if he annoyed Comrade Wen.
The more powerful you are outside, the more fearful you are at home.
Think about it again, my sister-in-law is a gentle person and is even more considerate to my brother.
My daughter-in-law is a capable and sensible person.
In comparison, my old father is indeed a bit miserable, because my old mother is not only capable at work, but also has a bad temper and ability.
After making the comparison, Huo Lanci realized that he was really extremely happy, so he worked more efficiently.
Yu Wanqing couldn't help but laugh as she listened to the conversation between the father and son. The Huo family, young and old, are all very interesting people. It's not tiring to be with such people.
When Mr. Huo returned home, he couldn't help but praise Yu Wanqing.
Huo Lanci sat next to his wife, listening to the people in his family praising his wife in various ways. While he was happy for Wan Qing, he also felt that these people in his family were really going too far and actually ignored him completely.
In the end, Huo Lanci could only take care of Huo Nuan while he was eating, whispering to his wife.
Yu Wanqing's first meal at the Huo family after her marriage ended in a happy and lively atmosphere. Huo Wenci cleaned up the dishes and Liu Qiuling wanted to help, but Huo Wenci refused: "You should talk to your sister-in-law and mother. Your sister-in-law and her family will leave Beijing tomorrow and we don't know when they will come back next time."
Grandpa and my parents have already discussed that if Aci's wedding is held in Beijing, they are afraid that the old man from the Wang family will do something bad.
Therefore, Aci's wedding was held at the South Island Military Region, with Mr. Kang as the witness.
Liu Qiuling smiled and nodded: "Okay, I just happen to have a gift for my sister-in-law."
Yu Wanqing looked at the box that was stuffed into her hands, and heard her sister-in-law's voice: "This is a wedding gift for you and Aci."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Liu Qiuling sat opposite Yu Wanqing and said with a smile, "We are one family and we don't talk behind each other's backs. Just like what our mother said, it is our fate that my sister-in-law can marry Aci and join our family."
Wen Shuanghua nodded: "If you have any problems in the future, remember to call or send a telegram back. You must remember that we are all a family from now on."
Yu Wanqing could feel their kindness. She answered her mother-in-law and sister-in-law's questions one by one with a smile.
It was very easy for her to integrate into a family. By the time everyone went back to rest, the eldest sister-in-law already wanted to treat Yu Wanqing as her own sister.
After Yu Wanqing returned to her room, she opened the wedding gifts given by her sister-in-law and mother-in-law.
The gift from my sister-in-law was a white jade bracelet, necklace and earrings. It was obvious that this was a set of jewelry.
There was an envelope inside the box. When I opened it, I found twenty big reunion tickets and a few tickets.
Bicycle tickets, sewing plane tickets, and a few cloth coupons.
My sister-in-law must have prepared all the tickets because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to get tickets and buy a bicycle and sewing machine when she arrived in South Island.
I have to say that the eldest brother and his wife of the Huo family are really good to their younger brother Aci.
Yu Wanqing was happy in her heart. Both her sister-in-law from her natal side and her sister-in-law from her husband's side were easy to get along with. This was a very lucky thing.
The wedding gift given by my mother-in-law Wen Shuanghua was also a set of jade jewelry. There was also a passbook and a piece of paper in the box with the password written on it.
There is five thousand yuan in the passbook.
I guess this is the mother-in-law's private subsidy to their small family.
When Huo Lanci came back, he brought back a passbook with 3,000 yuan. Seeing this, Yu Wanqing couldn't help but smile and lean on Huo Lanci's shoulder: "We just got married and we became rich."
The allowances from her grandfather and parents added up to eight thousand yuan, and with the betrothal gift, she had nearly twenty thousand yuan.
Nowadays, many people may not be able to earn that much money even if they spend ten or twenty years.
Huo Lanci had never thought that his little Wu was such a money-grubber. He smiled and said, "Do you like money so much?"
Yu Wanqing asked unhappily, "You don't like it?"
"Yes, I like money as much as you do." After that, he took out a passbook from a locked drawer in the room. He smiled and said, "This is the money I saved before I joined the army."
All the allowances and rewards from these years were put into another passbook, which is now in Wanqing's hands.
This is another one that I have kept at home.
Yu Wanqing opened it and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, there are more than 30,000."
Huo Lanci went to Yu Wanqing's ear and whispered, "My great grandmother helped my brother and I deposit a sum of money in a foreign bank. Compared to that sum of money, these are nothing."
"My great-grandmother was a visionary person. Not long after China was founded, she began to sell some shops and exchanged them for gold and stored them abroad."
Who could have imagined that China would launch a movement? My great-grandmother had the foresight to sell the shop and hide all the antiques and treasures in the house.
It was because of this that the Huo family escaped disaster.
The more Yu Wanqing listened, the more she felt that this grandmother was not a simple person. After the establishment of the New China, she immediately sold her shop and converted it into gold and deposited it in foreign banks. She also hid all the treasures in the house. It seemed as if she knew what would happen in the future in advance.
Yu Wanqing said: "Grandma is really amazing."
Huo Lanci nodded: "She was doing business, collecting supplies to help the army, and taking care of the children at home. She is really capable."
"My great-grandmother's life can be read as a legend. When I have time, I will tell you everything about it."
Yu Wanqing turned over and looked at Huo Lanci with a smile on her face, but Huo Lanci found that smile a little bit creepy.
"Don't be like this, I'm not some monster, why are you panicking?" Yu Wanqing smiled and pulled his collar: "Ah Ci, in the past, people always emphasized matching up with each other. A rich lady like Grandma ended up marrying Grandpa. In fact, it wasn't really marrying down, right?"
Therefore, what Master Huo said about him also coming from a peasant background is totally unbelievable.
