Chapter 40: Grandpa’s Gift



Seeing Qian Xiaolan's confusion, Gu Yanqing smiled and explained: "My parents gave 100 yuan for the betrothal gift, and I paid 300 yuan.

When my three brothers and sisters-in-law got married, we gave them a dowry of 100 yuan and built them a new house. Although it was a mud-brick house, it still cost several dozen yuan. My parents felt that they owed us and wanted to compensate us a little.”

Qian Xiaolan suddenly realized that it was Gu Yanqing who paid for most of their marriage.

Next, there was the money for Gu Yanqing to change his words given by the four elders of the Qian family and the envelope given by the two old men.

Qian Jingming and Rong Qian's change of statement fee was fifty each, and the two old men's fee was one hundred each.

Seeing Gu Yanqing holding the money with an inexplicable look on his face, Qian Xiaolan clenched her fist and raised it to his mouth:

"The answer to the mystery will soon be revealed, Gu Laoba, please tell me how you feel now."

Gu Yanqing put the red envelope aside and said with a smile: "I am super excited right now.

Unexpectedly, I accidentally found the granddaughter of a high-ranking official, and from then on, I realized the ultimate wish of mankind - lying flat. "

"Haha, you are so poor. Come and see what your grandpa and grandpa gave you. Why are you keeping it so secretive?"

Gu Yanqing opened the envelope and found a real estate certificate inside.

Moreover, it was from a village near his unit.

This is such a big surprise!

Gu Yanqing hugged Qian Xiaolan excitedly: "Wife, I like this gift so much. This time when I return to the army, you can go with me."

The old family building of their unit was already full, and the new one had just begun to be built. For a newly promoted battalion commander like him, whose family had to accompany the army, there was currently no housing available.

I can only go to the nearest village and ask the villagers to borrow a house to live in. The troublesome thing about this is that I have to examine the villagers' character and so on, which takes some effort.

Now, grandpa and grandpa have solved this problem directly.

Qian Xiaolan was also very happy because she no longer had to stay in the village to work.

To be honest, there is no other benefit for her to go to work except that she doesn't have to use her brain.

Instead, I feel exhausted every day.

Gu Yanqing happily took the property certificate to look for his parents. Hu Guifen was shocked:

"Xiaolan's family is so good to her. They said they would buy... well, they just changed the house.

Now that's good, your dad and I were worried about you having no place to live, Xiaolan is going to live separately from you."

“Stinky boy, I really found you a good wife, and they will solve all your problems.

I am warning you, you must treat Xiaolan well.

Don't think that just because her family is rich and powerful, you will lose face, feel wronged, or endure it.

If you have such an idea, I will be the first one to beat you to death."

Hu Guifen glared and warned seriously, and Gu Changshun nodded vigorously.

"Yes, your mother is right. Your grandfather said that he will not interfere in anything you do in the army. Your promotion still depends on your own efforts.

Don't go home and get mad at Xiaolan just because someone said something mean to you. That's not what a man does."

Gu Yanqing: “…”

"Mom and Dad, what are you thinking? I have been in the army for many years and I have worked hard to get to my current position. Haven't I heard enough sour words?

Don't worry, I really like Xiaolan and I won't be angry with her for any random reasons."

Gu Yanqing suddenly whispered: "I'm going to say something you don't want to hear, I just like to eat gigolos.

The gift I received yesterday, besides this house, also included three hundred dollars, hehehe.

Xiaolan said that her grandfather and grandfather also gave her two houses, one in Beijing and the other in Shanghai!

Hehe, I married a good wife, and I became rich immediately."

After Gu Yanqing finished speaking, he saw that his parents were in a daze, so he chuckled, ignored them, and turned back to his room to accompany his wife.

Qian Xiaolan packed up the gifts and money, and counted the bills she had on her.

That day, the 20,000 yuan my father gave me was deposited in Beijing. I can’t withdraw it for the time being, so I won’t count it for now.

The one thousand yuan my mother gave me was deposited in Anshi Credit Union. I can withdraw it when I have time in two days.

The total amount of money I earned from these few trips to the black market was more than two thousand. After deducting the more than four hundred I spent on buying a bicycle and stationery for school, I still had two thousand left.

Adding the four hundred yuan taken back from Qian Changcai's house, the total amount is 3,400 yuan.

The gift money I received yesterday plus the fee for changing my name totaled 330.5 yuan.

By the way, there was still 1,100 yuan in the passbook that Gu Yanqing gave her that day.

All together, the total is 4830.5 yuan.

It was just over when Qian Xiaolan heard Gu Yanqing's footsteps and immediately put away the 2,000 yuan. This money was earned from the black market and could not be exposed for the time being.

"Wow, wife, that's so much money. Can I retire and come home to live off her?"

Qian Xiaolan angrily scolded him: "How can you be so good as to let people know that the CEO of Gu Corporation said that more than 2,000 yuan is a lot of money. You are not afraid of being laughed at."

Gu Yanqing hugged her and said, "I don't care, I don't care. I am just a poor soldier now. I have no ability. I have to rely on my wife to support me. I want to eat soft rice."

Hu Guifen, who had just walked to the door, said: "!!!"

She stood there for a long time, digesting the thought, and then she coughed heavily, "Xiaolan, Lao Si, come out, your dad has something to say."

Hearing the voice, Gu Yanqing froze and dared not move.

Qian Xiaolan suppressed her laughter and replied, "Mom, we'll be there right away."

After Hu Guifen walked away, Gu Yanqing buried his head in Qian Xiaolan's arms: "Wow, wow, wow, do you think mom heard what I said just now?

Did I make a fool of myself by showing her my face? "

"Hahaha……"

Qian Xiaolan couldn't help it, so she hugged his head and kissed him, then hid in his arms and laughed.

By the time the two of them calmed down and went out, the main room was already full of people.

Oh, by the way, the work in the fields has been almost finished, so the team leader is giving everyone a day off today.

The reason why I didn’t see many brothers, sisters-in-law and children in the morning was because they all took the opportunity to take a day off and went back to my sister-in-law’s parents’ home.

Brought the leftovers from the banquet and the wild boar meat that was distributed yesterday.

Now they all came back and sat at the table waiting for the two of them.

Qian Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed and called people one by one.

Gu Changshun waved his hand and asked the two to sit down, then said:

"I called you here to tell you something. Your mother and I have said before that we will separate our family after all four of you brothers have started your own families."

"Now that your fourth brother is married, we should divide the family so that we don't have to continue living together, which could easily lead to conflicts."

The four brothers looked at each other, with reluctance in their eyes, but no one spoke.

The three sisters-in-law looked at Qian Xiaolan at the same time, their eyes sparkling.

Qian Xiaolan blinked and smiled back at them.

She thought that her three sisters-in-law had probably already taken charge of the household a long time ago, but since there were no major conflicts at home, she was too embarrassed to bring it up.

Now that they are married, this opportunity has come immediately, are they grateful to her?

Qian Xiaolan was distracted for a while, then she heard Gu Changshun say to Hu Guifen, "Go get our account book."
