Chapter 153
Zhen Zhen spent more than five hours sorting out the gold. There was no other way as there was just too much gold. She also hoarded a lot of gold jewellery and jadeite.
Meng Hua also liked to give her jade, some of which were raw jadeite stones. Zhen Zhen was too lazy to make bracelets, so she just put them all into the space, making it a mess.
The Chinese New Year is approaching again. We have entered the new millennium and have no worries about food and drink, but the Chinese New Year doesn’t feel like the new year anymore.
Fortunately, the Meng family is united and they all agreed to go home for the New Year this year.
Jiao Huilan started shopping early, and Zhen Zhen also bought some mutton, crabs, mantis shrimps and the like. Zhenxin Supermarket has expanded its fresh food business this year, and it sells Australian lobsters. Zhen Zhen also bought a few Australian lobsters to eat during the Chinese New Year.
Cheng Su cleaned the house, found some red paper in advance, and pasted window decorations with Zhen Zhen.
"Auntie Zhen, you are better than me in other aspects, but you are definitely not as good as me when it comes to cutting paper-cuts."
Zhen Zhen smiled, "Our Cheng Su is very clever and can cut beautiful paper-cuts."
Cheng Su was delighted to be praised, "I can also cut dragons. I can cut a dragon and hang it on the kumquat tree. It will look festive."
Juanjuan’s kindergarten assigned them a winter vacation homework, which was to make a lantern.
Jiao Huilan wasn’t very good at it, and Zhen Zhen’s eyesight wasn’t very good, so it was Cheng Su who helped them complete it.
Juanjuan looked at the exquisite lantern and clapped her hands: "Mrs. Cheng Su is so amazing."
Cheng Su kissed the cute little curly face. The child was so adorable, and there was no difference between him and her own child.
Cheng Su asked Meng Nan, "Juanjuan's father didn't come to ask for the child, right?"
"He didn't come. Even if he came, I wouldn't pay attention to him. It's not like he can't find a woman or give birth to a son to inherit the family business. Why would he be thinking about my Juanjuan?" Meng Nan said angrily.
Meng Xi came back from Zhenxin Factory, and she is now the official successor.
Zhen Zhen occasionally visits the factory to visit workers, and spends the rest of the time at home, enjoying his retirement life.
Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "Our second princess is back!"
Meng Xi raised his eyebrows proudly: "Please call me President Meng!"
"Hello, Mr. Meng! Mr. Meng is so awesome! Mr. Meng, can you please help me, an old lady, hang a window paper-cut?"
Meng Xi rushed over, hugged Zhen Zhen and kissed her several times, "Grandma, you actually said please! Oh my God, my grandma asked me to do something, but she actually used the word please. Isn't this an insult to me?"
Zhen Zhen patted her butt and laughed until his eyes were bright, "You just know how to make fun of grandma."
"Hehe, it doesn't hurt at all when grandma hits me! Grandma can't bear to hit Arya!"
Meng Nan was jealous, "Grandma, hit her hard! Beat Erya's butt until it's broken!"
"How could grandma bear to hit my babies? The eldest baby is loved, and the second baby is loved."
Juanjuan blinked, raised her hand and asked:
"And your little baby?"
"Oh, by the way, I have a little baby! Haha, the little baby is both loved and cared for!"
Juanjuan danced with joy. Meng Nan and Meng Xi looked at each other and saw happiness in each other's eyes.
When Si Ya came back this time, she had something to discuss with Zhen Zhen.
Si Ya's boyfriend is a director, but unfortunately he did not graduate from a regular school. His family background is useful in the film and television industry, but there are few good scripts these days. The boyfriend has not been able to find a suitable script to make a movie, so he set his sights on Si Ya.
"Then are you willing to let him take pictures of your book?" Zhen Zhen asked with a smile.
Si Ya scratched her head. She was still young and had some love ideas.
"I thought that after marriage, we would be equal. If I could make him famous, I would also be the wife of a famous director. Wouldn't that be great?"
Zhen Zhen smiled and winked at Meng Xi, "Erya, do you think it's an honor to be the wife of a famous director?"
Meng Xi shook his head and said truthfully:
"Being the wife of a famous director is worse than being a famous director. Just because you and your boyfriend are good now doesn't mean you will always be good. He has already made the copyright of your novel, so what are you going to make? I think it's better to praise yourself than to praise your boyfriend."
Si Ya had never suffered a loss before, so she was reluctant to listen to Meng Xi.
She has been shy since she was a child, has no ambition and no career aspirations.
She just wanted to stay at home and write novels. If it weren't for her boyfriend, she would have returned to Xinyao to accompany her mother and grandmother long ago.
Zhen Zhen thought for a moment, "You two have been dating for quite some time, do you have any plans to get married?"
Si Ya shook her head and said, "My boyfriend is a DINK, and we don't plan to get married."
"Yes, they are all progressive young people." Zhen Zhen was too lazy to get involved in the affairs of young people. "Since you are not married and have not obtained a marriage certificate, then he is nothing. You are a famous writer, a famous screenwriter, and a famous director! If you want to support him and be his ladder to success, you might as well support yourself and your family!"
After being scolded by her grandmother and second sister, Si Ya became much more sober, but she was a sentimental and sensitive person and she still believed in the most passionate love.
"My boyfriend will definitely not betray me!" Si Ya firmly believed.
Zhen Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Finally, our family has a love brain."
Meng Xi asked: "What is love brain?"
"She's obsessed with love, selectively blind, and willing to sacrifice herself for a man. Someone, please identify yourself!"
Si Ya hugged Grandma's arms, her round face blooming with smiles, "Grandma, you are so cute! You complain about your granddaughter in such a creative way! I really love you to death!"
Zhen Zhen laughed, "Not serious at all."
Before the Chinese New Year, the third phase of the Xin Yao Clothing Wholesale Market was completed. Zhen Zhen saw Xu Wei cutting the ribbon on TV, and it was quite formal.
"Grandma, our Xin Yao wholesale market is doing well. Many people from other places fly here to buy goods." Meng Xi commented.
"Xu Wei is a practical man. A wholesale market has boosted the transportation, Internet, clothing, and surrounding hotel businesses, and also boosted local tax revenues."
On New Year's Day, Meng Hua and Tan Wenyin's plane landed, and Cheng Su drove a nanny car to pick them up.
Tan Wenyin got along well with her and didn't care about the past.
Cheng Su was a little confused. "This year, all our family members are back, even Wu Wa has asked for leave to come back. I wonder if something happened at home?"
Meng Hua made a cryptic comment, "You'll know when the time comes."
Tan Wenyin was surprised, "Is there really something going on? You even kept it a secret from me?"
"It's not that I want to keep it secret, it's my eldest brother who ordered us not to tell anyone! If we tell anyone, there will be no surprise! But I can tell you, this is definitely the most explosive thing that has happened to our Meng family in the past 30 years!"
"Huh?" Cheng Su and Tan Wenyin became even more curious.
What are these three brothers doing? It's so mysterious!
Meng Hua had just arrived home when Meng Dong followed.
Ren Dongxi's company had just gone public, with a market value of over 8 billion. Meng Hua couldn't help but sigh that those who work in real estate cannot compare with those who work in the Internet. He had worked so hard for so many years, but Meng Dong had achieved it in just a few years.
The young are really to be feared!
As soon as Tan Cong entered the house, he ran to Wuwa's room to play on the computer.
It was rare for Wu Wa to go home, and he was attracted by the dancing game of Meng Dong’s company. He danced to his heart’s content, day and night!
"Brother, this game is very popular, and the dance music is also nice! Everyone in our school likes to play it."
Wu Wa's skin has been tanned to a wheat color, and his face is more angular than before. He has a strong body, sharp eyes, and is a soldier. Tan Cong admires him the most!
"Fifth brother, Brother Meng Dong is rich, but I admire you. With your muscles, you can knock Liu Chang down with one punch! Teach me someday, so that I can be powerful too!"
Wu Wa couldn't help laughing and touched Tan Cong's head, "Little brat, don't talk like an adult."
"Brother, I'm not little anymore!"
Wu Wa thought for a moment, "I was born in 1979. I remember you were seven years younger than me, so you were born in 1986, right? Let me calculate. You are almost 20 years old, my good man! Have you taken the college entrance examination?"
"Why would I want to go to university? My grades weren't good, so my dad threw me into the navy for training. Forget about it, brother. Playing games is more important."
Wu Wa thought Tan Cong was fun, "Don't your grandpa and your parents put pressure on you?"
Tan Cong said seriously:
"I'm not the only useless person in our compound! People work in all kinds of industries, and if they don't do well, their families will throw them into the army to gain experience. My father raised me and thought that since I was a descendant of the Meng family, I would never go astray."
"What about your mother?" Wuwa asked curiously.
"My mom? My mom thinks that my poor grades are all due to her, and she is too embarrassed to control me."
"You should just get on with it."
Tan Cong seems out of touch, but he is mature beyond his age.
"Brother, is it any use if I work hard? No matter how well I do, I can't be better than my grandfather and my father. Not everyone in our family can be great. There are always some people who are not smart and are born to enjoy life, like me!"
Tan Cong smiled and said, "Grandma gave you the money, right? We each have 100 million in savings, as well as shares and gold. We can lie down for the rest of our lives."
Wuwa couldn't just lie down and do nothing. He joined the army right after graduating from high school and had already settled down in the army.
He was able to work hard and with Tan Zheng's care, he planned to work hard to become the battalion commander when he turned 30, in an effort to become the youngest deputy regiment commander in the brigade.
"Brother, then you should do well in your life and protect your little brother!" Tan Cong did not feel guilty at all.
"No problem, I'm doing well, I'll protect all of you!"
Wu Wa played games for a while, then took Tan Cong to his grandmother's house for dinner.
Except Su Xiu, everyone was present.
Zhen Zhen also felt that this year was unusual. She always felt that the children were hiding something from her.
After dinner, Meng Daguo drove a minibus and took the Meng family to the airport under the pretext of setting off fireworks.
Zhen Zhen was surprised and said, "It is forbidden to set off fireworks in Xinyao, but some people in the suburbs still set them off secretly."
Meng Xi smiled and said, "There are many people doing clothing business in Xinyao, and it is indeed easy to catch fire, so fireworks should be banned."
The family arrived at the airport, and Meng Daguo mysteriously took Zhen Zhen to the tarmac.
Zhen Zhen wondered if those little bastards wanted to send her on a trip to an island?
Maldives or Tahiti?
I don’t know if flying there is tiring.
Zhen Zhen always felt that today's airplane security check was too lax. When she got on the plane, she suddenly found that there was something unusual about the plane.
What about the economy class seats? Why is the first class cabin so big? There is a bathroom and a bar in the plane, and the sofas are all U-shaped, with TVs installed behind them.
Zhen Zhen finally came to his senses, "Private jet?"
Meng Nan was also stunned. She looked around and said, "Oh my God! I've lived for more than 30 years, and I finally feel that I am the daughter of a rich man and the grandson of a rich man! Our family finally has a private jet! Dad, did you three buy this?"
Meng Eryong didn't contribute much, but Meng Daguo still took him with him.
"We three brothers bought it to show our filial piety to your grandmother."
Meng Xi was wandering around, Meng Dong and Meng Bei went to the game room, Qiao Lu, Cheng Su and Wen Yin were shocked by the luxury of the bathroom.
Jiao Huilan and Tao Aihong never expected that Meng Daguo and Meng Er bravely bought a plane without telling them.
Tao Aihong pulled Meng Eryong aside and asked, "How much is this plane?"
"Including renovations, it's close to 200 million."
Meng Eryong pretended to be something big.
The tone is no different from saying an airplane costs two dollars.
Tao Aihong's eyes widened, knowing that Meng Eryong couldn't come up with so much money.
"Who took the money?"
"Big brother and third brother," Meng Eryong said impatiently, "We didn't pay, do you feel bad about that?"
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Tao Aihong boasted again. She seemed to be dreaming. "We have a private jet at home, and a dedicated parking space. We can go directly to the airport and fly wherever we want!"
Tao Aihong finally understood what kind of life her mother-in-law gave her.
"Oh my god, it's like a dream! Eryong, you slapped me... ah, you really did it!"
Tao Aihong covered her swollen face and gritted her teeth, "Meng Eryong, you did it on purpose!"
Meng Eryong laughed dryly, "Sorry, I couldn't control myself."
Zhen Zhen never thought that her sons would give her a private jet.
The old lady has made great progress. At the age of 70, she owns a private jet and her son even takes her to an island for vacation.
She no longer had to sit in a small airplane seat; she could lie on the sofa, drink, take a bath, and watch TV to pass the time.
This is the good life an old woman should live!
