How to be financially free

Chapter 722

On the other side, Xu Wen set off to go home.

It was around ten o'clock, and we arrived at the Xiangxi waterfront villa area.

As soon as the car arrived, I bumped into the car that had just arrived to deliver the gift.

"Son, these are all gifts for you." Xu Jiang came up to meet him, with a cart in his hand that seemed to have just been transported.

"Who are they, Dad, do you remember?" Xu Wen looked at all kinds of tobacco, alcohol and New Year's goods piled up in the yard, all of which were of great value.

Xu Jiang took out his mobile phone, and it seemed that he had memorized it all.

After a while, Xu Wen nodded.

I don’t mention the ones delivered by my own hotel, they are all arranged by myself. As for the others, there are various partners in the industry under my own industry, and some friends send them, such as some friends of HSCC.

"Wuliangye cloisonne, dragon and phoenix present auspiciousness, this is also a gift!" Xu Jiang dragged Xu Wen to look at the wine.

This is Wuliangye's collection of wine, tens of thousands of bottles. According to Xu Jiang, it was sent by the general agent of Wuliangye in Haicheng.

In addition to this bottle of Wuliangye cloisonne, dragon and phoenix, there are boxes of Wuliangye piled up like a hill, which were also sent by the general agent of Wuliangye in Haicheng.

"Brother Xu, happy new year, uncle and aunt." Zuo Chao appeared outside the villa, smiling all over his face.

"I wish Brother Xu a prosperous New Year."

He took out a gold God of Wealth and sent it up.

"You don't need to be so polite." Xu Wen watched him put the God of Wealth on the table at home.

"Brother Xu has helped me so much, I deserve it." Zuo Chao said his goodbyes while laughing.

When he walked on the front foot, Xu Jiang picked it up on the back foot and prepared to place it in a suitable position at home.

"Impossible, this weight is probably not pure gold, right?" Xu Jianggang held the golden God of Wealth in both hands, his expression changed.

"That's right." Xu Wen smiled, but didn't say anything.

It is impossible to send out gold-plated things that are beyond the left hand, and of course they are pure gold.

Cars come and go, basically without stopping.

Later, Jiang Yuhang and Lin Baoer came to give gifts one after another. The gifts are not light, but the more important thing is the heart.

Because it was New Year's Eve, they basically gave gifts, and left first after giving New Year's greetings.

"Happy New Year Xu Dong." A middle-aged man stood outside the yard with a flattering smile on his face.

"Boss Sun?" Xu Wen frowned.

Isn't this Boss Sun who had dinner with Boss Jiang and the others last night?That is Sun Pan's father.

This Boss Sun is good enough, but Xu Wen is still a little bit uncomfortable.

Without him, he still has a moral bottom line, and he is naturally disgusted with this kind of people who do anything to achieve their goals.

"Last night, you gave my daughter a sum of money. I'm here to return the money to you today, and bring you some New Year's gift." Boss Sun said with a respectful smile.

"That amount of money?" Xu Wen snorted, watching Boss Sun take out wads of cash directly, and arranged for the driver behind them to carry the New Year gift down.

"Boss Sun, if you put down the money, you won't have to use the annual ceremony, right?"

"Xu Dong, it's not a particularly expensive thing, just take it as a little care from me." Boss Sun said with a smile.

After a while, the New Year's ceremony was unloaded, and Boss Sun didn't say much, leaving a New Year's greeting and ran away.

Xu Jiang stepped forward to take a look, and let out a cry of surprise.

"Huo! Such a big wild eel, what is this? Wild matsutake and saffron."

He looked through and found several boxes of Angong Niuhuang Pills that looked very old.

"This is a rarity!"

Although the items that Boss Sun sent were not the famous cigarettes and wines with clearly marked prices, in terms of value, these things that took a lot of effort to find were more thoughtful.

"Forget it, put it away first!" Xu Wen looked at it and asked his father to put it away first.

It's as if they made an appointment with each other.

Next, the bosses of several other construction companies that night visited successively and gave New Year's gifts.

The things that were sent were all expensive, but heartfelt New Year's gifts.

And, just let it go.

Xu Wen saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart. When the time comes for the bidding of the project, he will have his own considerations.

"Uncle, aunt, and cousin, happy new year." Zhao Jun walked over with a smile on his face, carrying the New Year gift.

The presents are Dream Blue and Zhonghua Tobacco.

For Zhao Jun, this is a gift that can be given.

But standing in the yard, looking at the piles of Wuliangye Moutai and various New Year gifts, he was somewhat embarrassed.

"Sit at home, cousin." Xu Wen greeted with a smile, and asked him to come in and sit.

Entering the living room on the first floor of the villa, Zhao Jun saw all kinds of valuable gifts placed at the foot of the wall, as well as the God of Wealth placed in a conspicuous position, and suddenly felt a little restless.

"You take this cigarette back to Uncle." Xu Wen casually took a cigarette and 5000 from Tianxia Zunshang and gave it to Zhao Jun.

It really doesn’t take too much thought to give gifts during the Chinese New Year. It’s more than 1 packs of cigarettes, and it’s enough for a family to give one pack.

"Thank you, cousin." Zhao Jun hurriedly accepted it.

In the kitchen on the second floor, Zhao Yuzhen came down to greet her nephew warmly when she saw her nephew coming.

"Has there been any good girls lately?"

"Not yet, aunt." Zhao Jun said a little embarrassed.

"Is there someone you like? Don't hesitate, take the initiative to attack, and your qualifications are not bad." Zhao Yuzhen encouraged from the side.

"Auntie, I will work hard." Zhao Jun said.

Xu Wen sat beside him, and then went out to meet the delivery car.

After Zhao Jun left, sisters, brothers and sisters from several other relatives came to pay New Year's greetings as if rushing to the market.

After all, the Xu family is not what it used to be, it is already a real wealthy family.

As relatives, it is natural to maintain a close relationship.

Xu Wen used it immediately, and returned a cigarette or a few bottles of good wine directly. This is how you come and go between relatives.

Neighbors on the banks of the Xiangxi River, the neighbors are all watching.

This morning, the car didn't stop, and there were boxes and boxes of famous cigarettes and wines.

What is the identity of this neighbor?

At noon, the family sat together and had a big lunch.

In the kitchen, the main event of the New Year's Eve dinner was still being prepared. Zhao Yuzhen had prepared ingredients for local dishes from Haicheng in advance, and planned to start in the afternoon.

Halfway through the meal, several people's mobile phones kept ringing.

Xu Wen's, Xu Jiang's, and Zhao Yuzhen's.

All kinds of New Year's greetings text messages, blessings, and information keep coming.

Xu Wen ate calmly, and was not in a hurry to return, but Xu Jiang looked at it for a while, and answered the phone for a while.

Listen, it should be his colleagues, classmates, and all kinds of friendships.

"Get together after the next year? Let's talk about it then?"

"Come here to pay New Year's greetings? I'll take my heart!"

Xu Jiang kept talking. Suddenly, he saw a number and was stunned.

"mom?"

This is a word that rarely comes out of Xu Jiangkou.

Xu Wen stopped eating and raised his head. Zhao Yuzhen also put down his chopsticks and looked at Xu Jiang.

At home, Xu Wen's grandparents are rarely mentioned.

Xu Jiang hardly mentioned it, and Zhao Yuzhen did the same. Xu Wen knew a little about the secrets.

"What? Got the certificate? Invite us to Gusu?" Xu Jiang was so surprised that he yelled out.

Zhao Yuzhen put down her chopsticks with a snap.

After a long time, Xu Jiang put down his phone in a daze, and looked at Zhao Yuzhen.

"My sister, her, and that person finally got the certificate."

Xu Wen blinked, and probably understood.

This is a long story, it is a black history, and it is also a taboo topic in the family, no one will take the initiative to bring it up.

About grandparents, about... Xu Wen's sister-in-law.

Xu Jiang has a younger sister, ten years younger than him, named Xu Rong.

More than ten years ago, Xu Rong met a man in Gusu who became pregnant before marriage and gave birth to the child.

Xu Wen's grandpa and grandma felt sorry for their daughter, rushed over to take a look, and were immediately dumbfounded.

It's good for a man to have a career, but the key is that he still has a family.However, Aunt Xu Wen is devoted to guarding the man, and she is willing to give birth to a child.

Seeing that the old couple couldn't tear it apart, and the child was so young, there was no one to take care of them, so they stayed in Gusu.

The man was also neat and tidy, directly arranged the house, in a word, let the old couple stay.

After going back and forth, the two of them stayed in Gusu all year round.

They felt sorry for their daughter, but they only ignored Xu Jiang's son.

In those few years, when Xu Wen was still young, Xu Jiang and his wife had to work hard while taking care of their children. Life was very difficult.

Back and forth, Xu Jiang, his younger sister who was far away in Gusu, and his biological parents who stayed with Xu Rong to take care of them, gradually drifted away, and almost had no contact with each other.

However, after all, it is the biological parents, and it is impossible to completely sever contact, but it is rarely mentioned.

As for Xu Wen, what kind of impression he must have on his grandparents, Xu Jiang didn't mention it, he would rarely think of this one.

"Finally becoming a regular after so many years, congratulations!" Zhao Yuzhen's tone was filled with resentment.

Blame Xu Rong, and even more blame Xu Jiang's parents.

You said that your own grandson was not at home to take care of, but for a daughter who was willing to be raised by others, you have taken care of children for so many years in the past.

"They, they actually have difficulties." Xu Jiang wanted to explain a few words, but after all, he lacked confidence.

"Sorry?" Zhao Yuzhen put down her chopsticks, got up and left her seat.

At the dinner table, only Xu Jiang, Xu Wen and his son were left in the blink of an eye.

"It's New Year's Eve, you see what happened." Xu Jiang shook his head helplessly.

Although he blamed his parents in his heart, he didn't have any hatred, because he could understand.

It is normal for the old couple to worry about the fact that their biological daughter was raised by others and gave birth to a child.

As for raising the child, why didn't he come back after all these years?
To put it bluntly, you have to get used to it. The more you live, the more you will get used to it. The more people get along, the more familiar you will be.

In addition, Xu Wen grew up at that time, and Xu Jiang didn't need the help of his parents anymore, so Xu Wen's grandparents just stayed at their daughter's house wholeheartedly these years.

"Of course my mother will be angry, so I'll persuade you later." Xu Wen didn't feel anything in his heart, he was just a little curious about the reasons.

"Dad, tell me, how did my sister-in-law become a regular?"

Xu Jiang felt that this topic was a bit embarrassing, and he was a bit machismo.

"Come on, your sister-in-law is also attractive, and after giving birth to a pair of children, a man's heart will always slowly tilt."

"Well, I can endure it." Xu Wen was a little speechless.

What a charm that made Xu Rong willing for so many years?
"That man?" Xu Jiang was lost in memory, "He is capable. So many years ago, he bought a house when he said he bought a house. Not to mention anything else, this economic strength has to be weighed."

As Xu Jiang spoke, he suddenly realized.

Just lamenting that others were very capable many years ago, but looking at yourself today, it is not what it used to be, okay?

"Then go to Gusu?" Xu Wen asked again.

"I must go." Xu Jiang took a sip of Moutai, lost in thought.

"Your grandparents called and asked us to go there tomorrow on the first day of the new year. I thought, we will leave tomorrow afternoon. Now is your mother's side?"

"Let me go and talk." Xu Wen said.

After lunch, Zhao Yuzhen went to work in the kitchen early and ignored Xu Jiang the whole time.

"Mom, what Dad means is that my sister-in-law invited our family to go to Suzhou tomorrow." Xu Wen observed his mother's expression and said with a smile.

"Let your dad go there by himself, anyway, I won't go there." Zhao Yuzhen said angrily.

In all these years, she has never enjoyed the treatment of other people's daughter-in-law.

Pulling Xu Wen up all the way, I don't know how much hard work and grievances he has suffered.To be honest, she didn't want to have any contact with that side.

"Mom, you know my father's temperament. After all, they are his own parents. They cannot be parted no matter what, so just repay the grievance with kindness." Xu Wen persuaded from the side.

"How can you repay virtue with virtue!" Zhao Yuzhen let out a long breath and looked at Xu Wen.

"Son, just go, just take it as a face for you."

"Just go to Gusu to play." Xu Wen said with a smile.

Go back and study the luxury houses in Gusu, such as Gusu Peach Blossom Spring, if you have the eye, buy one by the way.

As for the grievances of the previous generation.

how to say?It's true that you live well.

After lunch, Xu Wen told Xu Jiang the news, and Xu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"In fact, your mother has worked really hard all these years."

"Dad, with your words, our hard work these years is not in vain." Xu Wen took out a pack of cigarettes and passed one to Xu Jiang.

The father and son were in the garden in the afternoon, smoking a cigarette and basking in the warm winter sun.

Occasionally, the neighbor next door came out of the door, came up to say hello, offered a cigarette, and tried to get acquainted.

"It's past two o'clock, I'll go and help your mother." Xu Jiang looked at the time, turned and walked into the villa.

From the kitchen on the second floor, there was already a faint aroma of food.

That is the taste of the New Year that only belongs to New Year's Eve.

On the mobile phone, messages of blessings poured in.

Xu Wen clicked on it, picked up the important ones, and replied one by one.

There are subordinates, friends, and girls.

From Haicheng to Shanghai, to Rongcheng and Beijing, many friends who haven't seen each other for a long time have sent messages.

This is the popular life.

After five o'clock, there were no people outside, and every house was brightly lit, and the New Year's Eve dinner was being prepared.

On the second floor of the villa, the table is full of Chinese New Year flavor.

Preserved egg sausage platter, ten parsley, Haicheng eight bowls... are all traditional New Year's Eve meals in Haicheng.

On the first floor, the lights are bright, and a laser TV is on, waiting for the fixed program of the Spring Festival Gala after the New Year's Eve dinner.

Outside the window in the distance, there are crackling fireworks and children playing.

New Year's Eve...
