Chapter 665 Reunion Dinner
Although Qin Huairu chased out and explained to Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai simply refused to listen.
Neither family slept well that night.
What he thought was different. Yi Zhonghai thought more about the past and why he had come to this point.
What Qin Huairu was thinking about naturally was how to bring Yi Zhonghai back.
But these two are not the most important ones.
For example, Xu Damao spent the whole night with his hand in his pocket holding a red envelope, wondering whether he should ask the child to give him a red envelope.
He knew that, given the current situation, Xiu'er's statement that the child was her ex-husband's was the best option for both families.
But the longer Xu Damao looked at the child, the more guilty he felt.
This feeling of guilt tormented him and made him think about finding an opportunity to have a good talk with the child.
But obviously, reason told him that it was completely impossible.
At this time, Xu Damao was thinking that the child could learn something from Banggeng.
In that case, he could deliberately drop the red envelope on the ground and let the child pick it up.
But from Xu Damao's understanding, the child was too honest.
Liu Haizhong misses Liu Guangqi,
Yan Jiecheng and Yan Bugui had a quarrel about separating, saying that he would move out with his wife and would no longer pay for the family's living expenses.
Comrade Lao Guo once again rejected his old lady's proposal to have the eldest son come over to celebrate the New Year together.
It’s not that Comrade Lao Guo doesn’t want to, but if the eldest brother comes, the second brother and his family won’t come, and the situation will end in a bad way.
Comrade Guo only asked his wife to secretly send 20 yuan to his eldest grandson, but he thought it was too little.
The old lady was so angry that she came back wiping her tears.
The key point is that there is a little traitor named Shu Miao in the Guo family. She turned around and told Guo Lei about how her aunt was bullied.
So this time Guo Lei came back to have the New Year's Eve dinner, which was unusual for him.
In the past, he was the one who gave money to his parents, but this time he pretended to be deaf and dumb and forgot about it.
Instead, after dinner, Guo Lei said to his two children: "Jia Jia, Cheng Cheng, kowtow to your grandparents and wish them a happy new year."
Guo Lei's children were very obedient and kowtowed their heads quite loudly.
Guo's mother subconsciously took out two small red envelopes for her grandchildren.
But Guo's father coughed dryly and stopped Guo's mother's perfunctory response.
Her two small red envelopes were probably worth only one or two cents, or no more than fifty cents at most.
But looking at the attitude of Guo Lei and Fang Juan today, it is estimated that once these two small red envelopes are given out, that will be the time when Guo Lei turns against them.
He eats and drinks the youngest son's food and drinks, and lives in a house borrowed from the youngest son. As a result, he treats his eldest grandson and his younger grandchildren differently.
If a conflict arose over such matters, Lao Guo himself would feel too embarrassed to speak out.
Lao Guo said: "Jia Jia, Cheng Cheng, come to Grandpa."
The two kids walked to Lao Guo in confusion. Lao Guo took out a handful of big Tuanjie from his pocket with a painful look. Guo Lei estimated that there were about a hundred yuan in it, which was probably Lao Guo's pension for several months.
Guo Lei provides for the daily living expenses of Mr. and Mrs. Guo, so he is too lazy to collect the ten-plus yuan pension every month.
It won't be of much use if you bring it back. The key point is that when you go to the place where the money is collected, you will always hear some gossip.
It is better to save it and collect it every six months or a few months, which can be used for important things, such as the Chinese New Year.
But Lao Guo also knew that the confidence he gained from collecting his pension every few months was actually given to him by Guo Lei.
If his son Guo Lei hadn't worked at the supply and marketing cooperative, those clerks who distributed pensions would not have been so easy to talk to.
This money was originally intended for Lao Guo to use to visit relatives in the countryside.
Many things in life are helpless, just like Mr. Guo’s family. He knew that his eldest son had become like this, and someone in the family must have said something in front of the eldest son.
But Lao Guo could only ignore those little thoughts. He was thinking that he would be buried in the ancestral tomb a hundred years later. By then, the opinions of those relatives might play a key role.
Falling leaves return to their roots, this is the obsession of the Chinese people.
Being able to be with parents and grandparents a hundred years later also makes death romantic. Lao Guo is going to finalize the burial site for the couple this time, so he prepared so much money.
This money is not given away. The Guo family is not rich enough to do that.
Every time I go back home, there are always those ignorant relatives coming to borrow money.
In the past, Lao Guo usually refused.
But this time, Lao Guo wanted to choose two good places, so he could only selectively agree to borrow money from some people.
This money is intended to be used for that.
But now Guo Lei has taken over the army of the old couple. If they can't handle it well and make a fuss, it will be a disgrace to them.
Old Guo could only take out two bills each, handed them to his grandchildren, and then said with a smile: "Grandpa got his salary, twenty per person.
The one from the old house had already been delivered.
I knew you were coming, so I didn’t send it to you.
You need to study hard and buy more school supplies, okay?"
Erxiao looked back at Fang Juan, who couldn't help but smile and nodded.
To be honest, Guo Lei and his wife have a good income, and Fang Juan herself earns more than 30 yuan. What she cares about is not money, but fairness.
Erxiao cheered, took the money from Lao Guo, and kept saying nice things.
Although Erxiao also knew that with this little money, he could only spend one night with them.
It’s New Year’s lucky money!
After the New Year, it has to be handed over to mother for safekeeping so that it can be used as dowry for siblings and when they find wives in the future.
But all the kids care about is the atmosphere.
Fang Juan suppressed her smile and said, "I originally wanted Guo Lei to give you two some New Year's money, but since you have it, we won't give it to you for now.
It will save you two old people from having too much money and worrying about it."
Fang Juan's words had hidden meanings, but they left the old couple speechless.
Aren’t they just making trouble because they have money?
The eldest brother knew how much money Lao Guo had received, and he naturally made a fuss when he saw that he was only given twenty.
If they had no money, the three grandsons would just give them a dollar or two without any further ado.
These are small things.
The Ma family’s situation is a big deal. Ma San’s blind mother hasn’t eaten for three days.
Every day, her eldest grandson Goudan would use a wet towel and some water to wet her mouth. At most, she could only drink some rice soup, and she could no longer swallow solid objects.
Everyone knows that Ma San's mother is on the verge of death.
But I don’t know if she was woken up by the firecrackers or if she was attracted by the smell of the New Year.
On the New Year's Day, the old lady actually ate in the morning.
Although we all know what happened,
But everyone tells lies in a friendly way.
Everyone praised the old lady for getting through this ordeal and hoped she could live to be ninety-nine.
The old lady also took those words as true, even though she was weak and skinny.
But every time someone came to see her, Mrs. Ma would nod to them.
In the evening, Mrs. Ma was still willful and asked Ma San to help her to the dining table. She wanted to have a reunion dinner with her family.
Ma San was so anxious that he was running around in circles, but Hua Ni said with tears in her eyes: "Wrap mom in a quilt and bring her over. We'll have a reunion dinner together..."
