Chapter 121 Family Gatherings
Ji Chun, the head of the Zhao family is in the bedroom.

Standing in front of the mirror, Gao Xiaoqin was gesturing a pearl necklace on her neck, while telling Zhao Ye: "By the way, I forgot to tell you yesterday. Mom told us to go over for dinner today."

Zhao Ye, who was teasing his son with his head down, asked without raising his head, "There are still three days until New Year's Eve, what are you doing today?"

Gao Xiaoqin guessed: "Maybe it's because of Xiaobao, after all, during the time when you were not at home, it was Mom who took care of him."

"Then go, don't forget to take the gift I brought back from the south and give it to my parents along the way."

Gao Xiaoqin frowned and said, "The skin care products and clothes for mom are fine, but aren't the belts and watches for dad too expensive, how can he usually use them?"

"You just eat carrots and don't worry about it. You wear your watch at home and the belt is used. Can others take off Dad's clothes to see?"

Gao Xiaoqin was stunned, and said a little embarrassedly: "Oh, what's wrong with me recently, why is my brain getting slower and slower?"

Zhao Ye said in a serious manner: "According to my analysis, there may be two reasons. First, you have been pregnant and stupid for three years. Second, you sit in the office of the Education Bureau every day, gossiping with others and gossiping. chant!"

"Fuck you! You've only been pregnant for three years, I must be free."

"That's easy, let's make another one, and you will have something to do."

Gao Xiaoqin shook her head resolutely and said, "If you beat me to death, I won't live. Just this one took half my life. If there is another one, will I still be alive?"

When the couple was debating whether to have a second child, the phone in the living room rang suddenly. Zhao Jiale, who was sitting in his father's arms and chewing on the toy car, was so shocked that he dropped the toy on the ground. Immediately, he grinned his mouth and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Gao Xiaoqin hurried over to coax her son, but was stopped by Zhao Ye, who frowned and said: "Love mother is so defeated, what kind of child has this kid been spoiled by you, he seems to be almost two years old Oh, crying over such a trivial matter, what does it look like!"

Gao Xiaoqin didn't care about this, she snatched her son into her arms, slapped her son on the back, and at the same time urged Zhao Ye: "Okay, don't play with your prestige like I am, go and answer the phone!"

"Let's talk about the child's education later on." Zhao Ye babbled, but was forced by Gao Xiaoqin to answer the phone.

After a while, his voice came from the outer room: "Xiaoqin, it's my mother's call. She said that the second sister is back, let's go there quickly."

"What! The second sister is back? I see. I'll dress my son. Go and pack up the presents. Don't forget about sister, brother-in-law, Doudou and Erniu."

"I can't forget, you speed up, don't dawdle!"

Four or ten minutes later, Zhao Ye's family of three had just arrived at the gate of Gao's house. Yang Wenhui, who heard the news, reached out to hug her grandson and complained, "Why are you here so late? The food is getting cold." !"

Zhao Ye, who was carrying a large bag of things, nodded to the middle-aged man and woman who came out with his mother-in-law, and then complained: "Ask your precious daughter, I said it's a family gathering, just wear casual clothes, but People insisted that I haven't seen my second sister for a long time, so I must not be sloppy..."

Gao Xiaoqin, who was having an intimate conversation with her second sister, heard her husband tearing things apart, so she quit immediately and interrupted Zhao Ye's words:
"Hey, if you don't talk, no one will think you are dumb! You have the kung fu to grind your teeth, why don't you hurry up and get to know your second brother-in-law, he is a specially-appointed professor of Jiang University, who is many times better than you, an uneducated person!"

Hearing this, Gao Xiaolan, who had a frosty look on her face, hurriedly pulled down her sister's sleeve, and then took the initiative to pull her husband Wang Hongbin to greet Zhao Ye.

"You must be Xiaoye, I am Xiaoqin's older sister, and this is your brother-in-law Wang Hongbin."

Wearing a gray Chinese tunic suit and highly myopic glasses, Wang Hongbin looked like a pedant from the outside. He also reached out to shake Zhao Ye, and said humbly:
"Don't listen to Xiaoqin's nonsense, me, that old saying is the best way to describe me, I am a scholar who is useless, but I can't compare to brother-in-law, you genius doctor!"

Zhao Ye just wanted to say a few words of politeness, but his mother-in-law slapped her across the bar and said, "Okay, let's go in if we have something to say, don't freeze our little treasure!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ye had no choice but to pat Wang Hongbin's arm, the two looked at each other and smiled, and followed the three women into the room.

When we arrived at the living room, it was even more lively inside. I saw Gao Yuan, who was usually unsmiling, squatting on the ground with a smile on his face. Beside him were a man and a woman, two young children about six or seven years old. Go pieces.

Seeing his youngest daughter's family coming, Gao Yuan felt relieved and said, "What are you talking about outside? If you don't come in again, these two young ancestors will throw the Ziying stone Go chess that I have found so hard as a stone!"

Gao Xiaoqin continued with a smile: "What am I supposed to do? Zhao Ye received a pair of Go onyx last year, and I'll bring it to you someday!"

Gao Yuan was overjoyed, and showed off to everyone: "It can be seen that this little girl of mine is not in vain, and I know how to buy good things for her father from my husband's house, just because I am afraid that my son-in-law will not want it!"

Gao Xiaoqin gave Zhao Ye a sideways look, and said for him, "Father, just accept it, if it's not enough, you can come to our house in person some other day, and it's best to bring back all the antiques in his room, so as to save money from wasting money every day." .”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him jokingly, what could Zhao Ye do, he could only pretend to be helpless and sighed: "Oh, I have nothing to say when I meet such a prodigal daughter-in-law, so I can only turn a blind eye. !"

Everyone was amused by these words, and even the two children on the ground were attracted attention. Seeing this, Gao Xiaolan hurriedly called her son and daughter over, and greeted her aunt and uncle.

Zhao Ye and his wife agreed with a smile, and took out the red envelopes and toys that had been prepared for the children.

Gao Xiaolan and his wife didn't pay much attention to it at first, until they accidentally discovered that the 1980-yuan bills issued in [-] were exposed in their daughter's red envelope.

You must know that the red envelope they gave to Zhao Jiale only included 20 yuan, so it pales in comparison.

Zhao Ye, who had expected this scene for a long time, couldn't help but cast a slightly meaningful look at Gao Xiaoqin. It turned out that before he came, he had reminded his wife not to show off, but Gao Xiaoqin just didn't listen, insisting that it was the first time he saw her. Nephew and niece, don't be stingy.

Gao Xiaoqin also realized at this time that her behavior was inappropriate. Fortunately, without waiting for her to explain, she heard her mother Yang Wenhui write lightly:

"It's true that you are parents. This is what Ono and the others want. Why do your family care about these things? Let the children keep them, and don't think too much about them!"

After finishing speaking, she also confessed to Zhao Ye: "Xiao Ye, you have a lot of people in Jichun, and you will have to help your second sister and the others in the future. After all, your father has a special position, and sometimes it is not easy to show up."

Zhao Ye glanced at Wang Hongbin from the corner of his eye, and after realizing that he was a bit on pins and needles, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his mother-in-law's kindness, but the person involved didn't necessarily appreciate it.

But thinking about it, he can also understand Wang Hongbin's thoughts. It is difficult to be the son-in-law of someone else's family, especially in a family like the Gao family.

Either you have a thicker skin and let others point and point, and I will not move.Otherwise you have to be capable enough to treat each other as equals.

But obviously, Wang Hongbin has nothing to do with these two points.

In a hurry, all Zhao Ye could do was to help his mother-in-law: "Mom, look at what you said, what to do if you want to help, if you don't talk to each other, no one will encounter difficulties. Let's help each other. Isn't it normal?
Besides, the family of the second sister's wife is a professor of Jiang University, who is famous and promising. It is not certain who will help who more in the future! "

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused, and said to Wang Hongbin in a joking tone: "Second brother-in-law, in the future, I will ask for something, so don't turn me away."

After Zhao Ye's gag, Wang Hongbin's complexion finally became much better, and he agreed with a smile: "You just come, I have absolutely nothing to say."

Always pay attention to the lofty performance of the two sons-in-law. At the moment, the feelings towards the two are very different, but he also knows that some things cannot be forced, and even in order to take care of the eldest daughter's face, he stood up at the right time to stop his wife's next words.

"Okay, let's eat first, let the children decide their own affairs, so don't meddle in it."

Knowing how strong her husband's self-esteem is, Gao Xiaolan also echoed: "Yes, Mom, didn't you just say that the food was cold, so let's go quickly. You don't know, I have been away all these years. Try your craft again."

…………

In the middle of the night, Yang Wenhui, who had settled down her grandson and granddaughter, returned to her room. Seeing her wife still leaning against the bedside reading a newspaper, she urged, "What time is it? Doesn't it mean that there will be a meeting tomorrow? Go to sleep!"

"Doudou and Erniu changed places, can they get used to sleeping?"

"Don't worry, Xiaolan is watching."

"That's good!" Gao Yuan nodded, took off his reading glasses and put them on the bedside table, and then said to Yang Wenhui who was about to rest, "Don't rush to sleep, I have something to tell you!"

"Is there anything I can't talk about tomorrow, it has to be late at night." Yang Wenhui, who had already been lying down, muttered, but finally sat up again.

"Come on, what instructions do you have?"

Gao Yuan didn't care about his wife's attitude, he said straight to the point: "You shouldn't ask Xiao Ye to help him in front of Hong Bin today."

Yang Wenhui, who hadn't realized what the problem was, said disapprovingly: "So what? Xiaolan and Xiaoqin are direct sisters, and Hongbin and Xiaoye are brothers-in-law. It's not normal for me to ask my younger son-in-law to help the eldest son-in-law." matter?"

"I really don't know what to say about you! Let me tell you, I can see clearly from the side. When you said this, Hong Bin was restless, with an uncomfortable expression on his face. Tell me, why did he so?"

After pondering for a while, Yang Wenhui immediately understood the twists and turns, and said with displeasure, "Hey, why is Hong Bin so sensitive?"

Then he asked again: "So, the reason why Ono said that today is to smooth things over for me?"

Gao Yuan agreed: "That's right, if it weren't for your little son-in-law, you would have done something bad with good intentions."

"Oh, I really don't know what to say. I have read so many books, but I have such a small stomach! Back then, I should have been a villain who beat mandarin ducks, and didn't agree with Xiaolan and him falling in love."

Gao Yuan persuaded: "Okay! At this point, Xiaolan has two children, what's the use of saying this? Let me tell Xiaolan privately tomorrow, so that she can spend more time with Xiaoqin's family Move around."

"Is there a need to talk about this? Our children are close. Although we have not been together these years, we still miss each other!"

"You didn't understand what I said. What I meant was to tell Xiaolan to get along with her brother-in-law. Once we are gone in the future, there will be someone to support her!"

Hearing these words from her husband, Yang Wenhui was stunned for a moment, and hesitated for a while before saying: "I admit that Xiao Ye is a good kid, with a quick mind and good medical skills, but after all he doesn't want to go into an official career. , let alone Mingze in the future, maybe even Xiaoqin is better than him?"

Gao Yuan shook his head unexpectedly, and gave a different opinion: "You are looking at people with old eyes. Since the opening, many things are different from before. Although no matter what time it is, an official is always an official, But influential businessmen should not be underestimated in the future.

Are you afraid you don't know yet?I asked Xiaoqin secretly today, and the presents Xiao Ye gave us today cost no less than five or sixty thousand. "

"What!" Yang Wenhui's shock was no small matter, and hurriedly asked: "Did you make a mistake?"

Gao Yuan smiled wryly and said, "At first I didn't believe it, I thought it was Xiaoqin's joke, but after I asked Xiaoye again, I found out that it was really the case."

"Then you didn't ask him where the money came from?"

Gao Yuan understood what his wife was worried about, and hurriedly explained: "Don't think about it, I have questioned your son-in-law carefully, and there is no problem with the source of the money, it was not obtained by criminals."

Yang Wenhui understood her husband's personality, and knew that since he could say that, there was absolutely no problem, so he didn't ask any more questions. What he cared about was another question.

"Is it allowed by the superiors, don't you become another one in the end?"

"You can rest assured that getting rich first will lead to getting rich later. This is an established policy and will not change."

Gao Yuan comforted his wife a few words, and then said: "After several years of observation, I can see that Xiao Ye has the right idea in his heart, and I am very relieved of him.

That's why I said let Xiao Rando go with his sister's house, at least in the future when encountering difficulties, someone can come up with an idea, I really count on Hongbin, I don't think it will work.

As for Mingze, I talked to him. He plans to take root in the army in his life, and the chances of coming back in the future are very few. Xiaolan can't rely on her big brother. "

Of course, Yang Wenhui would not object to her wife's good intentions. After she solemnly agreed, she sighed rather dissatisfied: "I originally thought that when Xiaolan came back this time, let them live directly in our house." Yes, now it seems that this matter cannot be mentioned!"

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, let them go."
