"How's the security situation in Hong Kong?" Ivanka asked.
“Not bad. After the handover, those underworld gangs disappeared overnight. Everyone knows that the mainland really hates these chamber pots.
But Xiao Duo and I were little kids back then. I only knew that our Quantum Security had played a huge role, and no one in Hong Kong dared to mess with us.
Everyone knows that the two biggest tycoons in Hong Kong, Huasheng and Huaguang, used to give out bonuses whenever they had a disagreement, which made those who were engaged in real estate business numb.
If it weren’t for my father and my elder brother, I don’t know how high the housing prices in Gangcheng would have been pushed up by these developers.
My eldest brother especially hates those who dig the land. He often says that they have no technical skills at all. "Xiao Jin said it unintentionally, but the listener took it seriously.
His father was a ridiculous man. Although he wasn't as extreme as those guys who held naked parties and perverted gatherings, at least half of his family's business was shady. The casino owners in Atlantic City were not as kind as those wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Ivanka felt a little confused, but she touched her belly and felt at ease.
There was a super large round table that seated 36 people. Ivanka sat at the main table because she was the new daughter-in-law. Xiao Zhen specially prepared several sweet and sour dishes for her, such as General Tso's Chicken. Xiao Zhen's grandmother tasted it and thought it was too sour.
After dinner, there was a large-scale red envelope distribution ceremony. Ivanka was the biggest recipient of red envelopes this year. She and Xiao Zhen also gave red envelopes to the children of her cousins. For example, Wen Yun received a lot of red envelopes.
Early in the morning on the first day of the New Year, people ate glutinous rice balls. Of course, the lucky red envelope this year went to the eldest daughter-in-law Ivanka. This year, Xiao Zhengtang's lucky red envelope check for the first day of the New Year is 1 million US dollars.
"Congratulations, Miss Ivanka! You are the luckiest person in the family this year!" Xiao Zhen said as he scooped sesame dumplings for the guy.
"Honey, this is so delicious. Can we eat this ball in the morning from now on?" Ivanka squinted her eyes and enjoyed the man feeding her.
After breakfast on the first day of the New Year, they went to worship their ancestors. Ivanka also went to her hometown in Dahuangjushuxiao Town.
Xiao Zhengtang also pointed out to Ivanka that each piece of paper signed by the elders and younger generations should be signed by his grandson's wife, "Ivanka Trump Xiao". This is also in accordance with Western tradition to add the husband's surname. Xiao Zhengtang paid someone to work overtime to add this.
After the sacrifice, they went to Wenjia Bay and added the name of their great-grandmother-in-law "Ivanka Trump Xiao", which was a formal recognition.
Ivanka excitedly kept thanking Xiao Zhengtang, and blurted out "Thank you, Mom and Dad!", which caused everyone to laugh again.
After visiting her grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings, she went to her uncle's, aunt's, and second aunt's houses. Xiao Zhen also took her to pay New Year's greetings to his carving master, Wang the stonemason. When they left, Wang the stonemason gave Ivanka an old jade pig.
Before leaving, Xiao Zhen also told his carving master that he would arrange someone to pick him up and take him to Gangcheng to attend the wedding. When leaving, the couple each gave Wang the stonemason a red envelope of 20,000 US dollars and asked him to take care of his health.
Ivanka has been enjoying herself with fireworks, fairy wands and other new things throughout the Spring Festival. She feels that this is the most relaxing New Year in her life. She likes this kind of Chinese life with strong family affection more and more, and strives to be a qualified Chinese daughter-in-law.
