Reborn since 2005

When I got home, it was only about four o'clock in the afternoon.

The old couple hadn't started preparing dinner yet, so they were waiting at the gate.

Seeing the car approaching, they knew it was Yan Xin and the others who were coming back, so they all got up and went to greet it.

When the car stopped, Yan Xin got out of the car first, then helped Feng Xi open the car door in the back seat, took her son who was only a few months old from her arms, and then smiled and said to the old couple who came over:
"Dad, Mom, I know you want to see Shilin, so I brought him here for you."

The "Mom" call to Wu Xiuhong was extremely smooth, without any hesitation.

Knowing that such a combined family would inevitably have some worries, fearing that the other person's children would not regard him as one of his own family members, so he had always been very cordial and did not treat the stepmother as an outsider.

In the beginning, it was purely polite, because I was afraid that I would neglect others and not be able to stay in this family any longer.

But later on, they really regarded their mother and daughter as their own family.

Especially after the relationship with Bai Xiaoling.

Even if you don't have such a status, you can still call people mom.

After coming to this family for several years, Wu Xiuhong has also integrated into this family.

In her eyes, Yan Xin is half son and half son-in-law.

That's a confusing account.

However, there is one thing that cannot be messed up - no matter how messy it is, it is all from my own family.

She was also very happy about their arrival. She took the child from Yan Xin and exclaimed:
"We haven't seen each other for just over two months, and we have grown up so much."

Feng Xi also got out of the car, took down the stroller, and greeted the old couple with a smile: "Dad, Mom, long time no see."

Then he said to Wu Xiuhong:
"Mom, Xiaoling's flight today is going directly to Xingcheng. She won't arrive at the airport until midnight, so she won't be home until tomorrow morning."

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Bai Xiaoling had nothing to do that required her to stay abroad, so she took a few days to return to China.

She flew directly from Bang Country to Star City, and she was not traveling with Yan Xin and the others.

It would be a waste of time to go back to the capital first and then turn back and wander around. It is very unnecessary.

Wu Xiuhong still cared about her daughter and asked:
"How is she doing abroad?"

"It's pretty good," Feng Xi said with a smile, "We even went to her place for half a month on May Day. She took us to many places. It was obvious that she was already very familiar with the place and lived well. Very comfortable. Dad, Mom, when are you free to play there with us? "

Wu Xiuhong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Going abroad? Neither your father nor I can speak foreign languages, so we won't be able to stay here."

Going abroad was a bit too far away for her and she had never thought of it before.

For most of her life, she spent most of her time in this rural area. The furthest time from home was when she went to the capital last year to take care of Feng Xi and experience life in the capital.

This is already quite rare among people of the same age in the village.

Going abroad for fun was really something I had never even thought about.

To her, that's not a world thing.

"It's okay. Our company has translators. You see, we don't speak the language there, but we still had a lot of fun there."

Feng Xi still hopes that the old couple will go out for more walks when they can walk, so that their visit to the world will be worthwhile.

Staying in the village all the time always feels a little unworthy.

If you don't have the conditions, you can't help it. If you have the conditions, you can still make life more exciting.

Wu Xiuhong held the child in her arms, feeling a little moved.

Dad Xiao also got out of the car, opened the trunk and unloaded the goods, smiling and echoing:

"If possible, you should go out more often. A few years ago, I took my wife and daughter abroad to play. There are many different scenery in this world, and we should also see more different scenery in our lives. "

Wu Xiuhong has no obsession with seeing the scenery. At this age, any thoughts that are not in line with financial conditions have been eliminated in those long years.

There are not so many desires anymore.

She simply wanted to see what kind of place her daughter was living now and whether she would be happy there.

As for the scenery, that's about it.

She was even a little afraid of going to a foreign country - it was a different system with different language and culture, which made it difficult for her to feel safe, so she was hesitant.

It's not because of money.

What she doesn't know now is that her family is already very rich and has more money than she can spend in her lifetime.

Although Yan Xin is a stepson, the child is still quite filial, and the daughter-in-law is also very kind and happy to spend money for her. Now she has gradually lost her previous concept of frugality and is simply afraid of unknown places.

But I also want to see where my daughter lives now.

If you don't take a look, you will always feel a little uneasy.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Now...it's not that easy to go abroad, right?"

"It's not difficult," Yan Xin said, "As long as you have such an idea, we can help you with the procedures for going abroad. You can go to the county to apply for a passport tomorrow, and the subsequent procedures are also quite easy."

Dad Xiao said next to him: "If you are in a hurry, I know the people over there and can ask them to optimize the processing procedures and get it done as soon as possible."

The old couple have been farmers all their lives. They don't know where the county government office is, and they don't know where to go to get a passport.

But they knew that Dad Xiao had been in the system before and had experience in traveling abroad, so he was familiar with many things.

After hearing what he said, Wu Xiuhong felt a little moved, and then looked at Yan's father.

You should respect his opinion on this.

Dad Yan has no intention of going abroad.

He was used to staying in this village, and he was a little uncomfortable going to the county seat. He was afraid that he would accidentally do something wrong and make others laugh at him for being a bumpkin.

Regarding Bai Xiaoling, of course he recognized his stepdaughter, but in terms of how strong the family affection was, there really wasn't any.

After all, they are not related by blood, and they only came here when they were so old.

However, he also knew what Wu Xiuhong was thinking and really wanted to take a look, so he smiled and said:

"Then go take a look. It's good to see the world. Anyway, Xiaoling is over there, so there's nothing to worry about."

Wu Xiuhong felt relieved and agreed.

Yan Xin and his father unloaded the goods from the car and moved them back home.

Feng Xize and Wu Xiuhong, who was holding the child, entered the house first. She went upstairs first, put down her bag, took off her tight clothes, changed into loose clothes, and then put on slippers. Went downstairs.

In just a few minutes, the whole person became very relaxed.

It was quite hard along the way, so naturally I had to relax a little more when I got home.

Wu Xiuhong held her child in her arms and watched the Yan family's father and son move the things from the car to their home. It has been moved several times, but it is not finished yet.

Seeing Feng Xi coming down, he said to her:
"You guys are buying so many things. It's not necessary."

Feng Xi said with a smile: "These are not just for the family, but there are also many gifts that need to be given. When you add them up, there are not many things."

The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival. According to the custom here, you still have to visit relatives.

You don’t have to go there to eat, but you need to send gifts.

Especially now that their family has money and the conditions of their relatives are not that good, they should express their feelings during the New Year and holidays.

Wu Xiuhong said "Oh" and couldn't say anything else.

I did buy a lot of things, some of which I couldn't use at home, such as tobacco, alcohol and betel nuts.

Father Yan also drank some alcohol and smoked a long time ago.

But then my wife got sick and the situation at home became very bad, so I gave up those things.

As for betel nut, I don’t have that habit.

These things can only be given away.

There are some nutritional supplements that they can eat, but they can't eat that much.

These nutritional supplements are not necessarily purchased for them.

The younger couple don't really believe in those nutritional supplements that are touted as panaceas, and would rather let the older couple eat something good, so they don't actually give them much. Even if they do, there are some that taste good and should be somewhat nutritious. thing.

Mainly to give them away - there are many old people who believe in those things, so there's nothing they can do about it.

When giving a gift, you should always give it to someone who likes it, otherwise it will be in vain.

There are also some fruit snacks and the like. These are not for gifts, but for the young couple to consume themselves.

I also bought some food and clothing.

While watching the father and son move things, Feng Xi also took out a box and opened it, revealing a pair of gold bracelets.

She smiled and said to Wu Xiuhong: "Mom, this is for you, do you like it?"

Wu Xiu blushed and felt a little embarrassed:

"Buying jewelry again, I already have two pairs of gold bracelets."

Feng Xi would give her jewelry every time he came back, and sometimes Bai Xiaoling would give her jewelry when she came back. They were gold, silver, and jade, including necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, etc., and there were many repetitions.

If you wear them all on your body, it will be a bit too flamboyant. You will look like a nouveau riche, without any sense of beauty, and will only feel rustic.

Normally she wouldn't dare to wear it out.

After all, this is still a poor place. Wearing too many valuable things on your body will bring danger to yourself.

What she is wearing now is a pair of silver bracelets, which her mother gave her when she got married for the first time.

That is to say, during the Chinese New Year, accompanied by family members, they will bring those precious jewelry to add more joy to the festival.

Now Feng Xi gave another pair of gold bracelets, which seemed to be quite heavy, costing thousands to tens of thousands. She was still a little embarrassed.

The main reason is that she already has two pairs but doesn't wear them, and giving her another pair now seems a bit wasteful.

To say whether I like it or not, I actually quite like this kind of golden jewelry.

Moreover, this thing represents wealth and wealth.

It also represents the filial piety of the son and daughter-in-law.

Wearing such jewelry when going out also proves that your choice for second marriage is correct.

Feng Xi smiled and gave her the pair of gold bracelets and said:
"It's okay, we can wear them interchangeably. Mom, don't always wear those pair of silver bracelets. They're a bit too plain. Take them off and put on this pair. They look better."

Wu Xiuhong was in trouble: "This gold one is too expensive. I'm afraid that others will have bad thoughts after seeing it."

Feng Xi also knows what the situation is like here now. It is much better than two years ago. Those in the village will not do anything illegal for a pair of gold bracelets.

But it's hard to tell people outside the village. If others find out, it's not impossible to have evil intentions.

Before cameras were installed at every intersection in the village, she did not dare to provoke human nature.

He smiled and said, "Now that we are all at home, you don't have to worry about others having bad intentions. When we leave, it won't be too late for you to take it off again."

At any rate, Wu Xiuhong accepted it.

Although this thing was quite redundant to Wu Xiuhong and she thought it was quite wasteful, she still felt quite happy when she received the gift.

It's not the gift itself, but the fact that he is valued in this family and is not treated as an outsider, let alone a servant.

The last thing taken out of the car were some ingredients.

Some were put in the freezer, and some were saved for tonight.

After taking all those things, Xiao's father was about to drive away, but Yan Xin stayed behind and asked him to have dinner here.

By the way, we also talked about new investment projects and joining the organization.

Yan Xin didn't have that kind of experience when joining an organization, whether it was a large organization or a small organization, so he had to learn from Dad Xiao.

You also need to find out the situation, how the small organization operates, what kind of people there are, and whether they are easy to get along with.

What kind of structure does a large organization have in this city? It usually needs to do something.

The dishes for the evening were cooked by Wu Xiuhong. There were no particularly luxurious ingredients. She also learned some cooking skills during her time in the capital and was able to master them.

Dad Yan lit a fire for her.

Yan Xin and Xiao's father were chatting about those things in the main room.

Feng Xi put the child in the stroller and listened nearby, sometimes interjecting a word or two.

——She is also an organized person, has some knowledge about these things, and can provide some feasible suggestions.

While chatting, Feng Xi suddenly smiled and asked Dad Xiao:
"Have you ever thought about letting Shishi join the organization? Her current Food Talk Company is doing very well. If you have that idea, you can also enter a relatively high-end association and gain a certain status."

Of course, Dad Xiao knows that his daughter's current career is quite successful. There are more than a dozen young people in this village working for that company, and there are also some in neighboring villages.

However, he also knows that today's achievements still rely on Yan Xin's personal connections, including those with partners.

Although the current development is very good, if Yan Xin wants to withdraw from this company, she may not be able to continue.

So he doesn't feel proud because of this, but becomes more cautious - this means that his daughter is too deeply tied to this man and has no way to escape his control.

In response to Feng Xi's question, he said with a smile: "I asked her, and she is not completely without ideas, but she feels that we still have to work hard to improve the company. When it stabilizes in two years, we will occupy the market." We have them all, so it’s not too late to work hard in this area.” (End of this chapter)
