Age of Rebirth

Uncle Zhang and Auntie, since they met Liu Xinlan, came to the Tang Mansion once a day for two consecutive days, which is very understandable.

Since Xiaoling left, the sky of the two old people has collapsed. They suddenly saw Liu Xinlan, who is exactly like their daughter, standing in front of them alive, and immediately seemed to be possessed by a demon, and their minds were full of Xiaoling. The overlapping image with Liu Xinlan, although she knew that this was not her own daughter, she still couldn't help running over, just to see Liu Xinlan more, stay by her side for a while, and comfort the pain of the bereaved daughter.

Tang Qiuli and Mei Ting tidied up quickly. When they came out, there were already several people in the living room. When Uncle Zhang saw him coming out, he said cheerfully, "Xiao Qiu, your aunt and I are here again! Are you annoying?"

Tang Qiuli hurriedly said: "Father! Mother! This is also your second elder's home, you can come here anytime, even if you move here, it's a normal thing, can you bother me!"

On the other hand, Mrs. Zhang ignored Tang Qiuli, took Liu Xinlan's hand, and looked at it with a good smile. It was probably last night, with the warm scene in Mei Mansion, Liu Xinlan's attitude towards the two old people of the Zhang family. , obviously a lot closer, but in this closeness, there is still a slight distance.

Everyone greeted and sat down. The mother smiled and looked at her son and eldest daughter-in-law. There was a deep sense of relief in her eyes. Mei Ting's face was blushing, and she lowered her head in embarrassment. The smart Mei Ting certainly knew her mother-in-law's eyes. meaning in it.

The mother is really happy for the eldest daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart. The old man knows that the eldest daughter-in-law, who is in her youth, stays in Dingbian for more than three years. During the three years, the son stays at home.Add up to only a dozen days, and you can count on your fingers.

In a sense, Mei Ting is similar to staying alone in a vacant house, but the eldest daughter-in-law has no complaints, takes care of her granddaughter, serves the elderly, and is impeccable in her dealings with others.However, the faint resentment in the corners of Mei Ting's eyes, the careful mother-in-law can feel it at any time, and she also knows the pain in the eldest daughter-in-law's heart.Secretly, I don't know how many times I have scolded that bastard.Take such a beautiful daughter-in-law.Throw it at home.

When the granddaughter fights, she must let Mei Ting stay with her son. Now I can see that the son and the eldest daughter-in-law have not been indifferent to each other because of the long separation.The old man was happy from the bottom of his heart, Mei Ting raised her head, and gratefully gave her mother-in-law a happy smile.

At this time, Aunt Zhang let go of Liu Xinlan's hand.Fumbling around, she took out a bank deposit book from the Dingbian Special Economic Zone Bank, and stuffed it into Liu Xinlan's hand with the old man's body temperature. , Your uncle and I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, and we don’t have anything to spend money on, plus, Xiao Qiu gives tens of thousands every year, what are we going to do with this money, we can still bring it into the coffin, good boy, Adding some new clothes to you is also a little kindness from the aunt!"

As she said that, she stuffed it into Liu Xinlan's hand involuntarily, holding the passbook with the old man's body temperature in her hand, Liu Xinlan stood up in surprise, as if holding a red-hot soldering iron, and threw the passbook on the table, speaking incoherently Said: "Uncle, auntie—! I, how can I ask for your money?"

Aunt Zhang's behavior was beyond everyone's expectations, even Uncle Zhang was surprised. This gift is a bit too heavy, 10 yuan is a big ocean, in the Dingbian Special Economic Zone, it is definitely the standard of a small rich man. Dingbian's economy is prosperous, people's life is stable, and the price of goods is even lower. One hundred thousand oceans is enough for a family of five to live a carefree life. Moreover, the standard is still high.

Seeing Liu Xinlan throwing the passbook on the table as if burning her hands, a hint of disappointment and pain flashed in Aunt Zhang's eyes, but she didn't take it back, but said slowly: "My child, don't think too much, you beat the child. Without parents, there must be a dowry in this marriage! You should accept the money, we can't be too shabby, and we have failed the aunt's heart!"

Liu Xinlan was at a loss, not knowing what to do, Tang Qiuli stepped forward, put away the passbook, and said solemnly: "Mother! I accepted Xinlan's dowry money for her. Accept it too, Xinlan, thank you auntie!"

Like sleepwalking, Liu Xinlan said dully, "Thank you, Auntie!"

Tang Qiuli put away his serious expression, turned around, and said with a smile: "Xinlan is going to marry me soon, the money is her dowry, and sooner or later it won't be mine! I'll take it in advance, it's nothing big Opinion!"

Tang Qiuli's gag immediately eased the frozen atmosphere. Mei Ting and Mei Xue are both women with clear eyebrows. How can they not understand her husband's mind? , The sound of fighting and laughter in the living room rang out.

Aunt Zhang was so happy that she could not close her mouth from ear to ear, she pointed at Tang Qiuli and said, "Xiaoqiu, this can't be done, I'm for the child, you get it first, what's the matter, after Xinlan marries you , what to do with this money, that is the business of you young people, hey, am I not too confused, this money is all given by Xiaoqiu, whoever holds it is different!"

The laughter in the living room became even more enthusiastic. Tang Qiuli took the opportunity to wink at Liu Xinlan. Liu Xinlan took the passbook as if holding a huge boulder. She bowed deeply to the two elders of the Zhang family and said, "Uncle , Auntie, Xinlan is ashamed to accept the love of your two elders!"

Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang felt relieved, their hearts were full of comfort, and the wrinkles on their faces were filled with joy. They stood up and said goodbye contentedly. When they left, their footsteps seemed to be much lighter.

Liu Xinlan looked at the passbook of [-] oceans in her hand in embarrassment, and asked weakly, "Qiu Li, what should I do?"

Tang Qiuli replied without hesitation: "The old man gave it to you, you just keep it and talk about it later!"

At this time, the mother came over, took the passbook from Liu Xinlan's hand, glared at her son, and said, "You know how to embarrass Xinlan, so leave it with me first!" Liu Xinlan smiled sweetly at the two of them, relieved. There is indescribable gratitude in the eyes.

This smile almost made the mother shed tears on the spot, it was so similar, it was exactly the same as Xiao Ling's poor child, it was heart-wrenching to watch!

It's a pity that none of the four young people noticed the sadness in the mother's eyes, and the mother quietly wiped the corners of her eyes, looking at her son and three daughters-in-law with a smile on her face.

Tang Qiuli waved his hands and said in a tone-deaf manner, "Three ladies, we have a very important task to complete in the next few days!"

Mei Xue hurriedly said: "I know, the big guys asked us to bring back gifts for our families! And the gifts we prepared must be sent to each family before the Chinese New Year to express the teacher's respect for his subordinates." Concerned, don't you?"

Liu Xinlan also rushed to say: "That's right, sister Xue and I bought the gift!"

Tang Qiuli glared at the two girls and said, "You two are smart, don't interrupt when the officer is talking! And, stand at attention! This is the rule, have you forgotten the rule? You're still wearing a military uniform!"

This time, Mei Ting, Mei Xue, and Liu Xinlan all stretched out their hands to shame him. Mei Ting couldn't straighten her waist with a smile, "Xiaoxue, Xinlan, have you seen that someone even uses his home as a military camp, as an official?" The child's addiction is not small! Come on, let's salute Master Master!"

The young people were chatting and joking in the living room, but the parents smiled and avoided, leaving this world to their sons and daughters-in-law, and by the way, they also took away Jialin who was clapping her hands happily!

I’ve been home for three days, and seeing that it’s the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, if I don’t hurry up, I won’t be able to make it in time for the Chinese New Year. Furthermore, I’m afraid that Liu Hanzhang and other members of the Dingbian Military and Political Committee will come to report to me, and I won’t be able to get away. Bringing the three wives along also seemed sincere.

With a phone call from Tang Qiuli, Shan Hu and Ouyang Lan, who were so in love with each other all day long, called Shan Hu and Ouyang Lan. Many people, military jeeps and large trucks pulling gifts were sent in a row, and they started giving gifts to the relatives of the officers and relatives of the independent division Dingbian. A scene.

Every military officer from Dingbian, apart from their own gifts for their families, Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan also prepared a separate gift for the prosperity of Dingbian, what gift can't be bought?Therefore, Shanhu muttered, "It's unnecessary!"

But Tang Qiuli didn't see it that way. On the contrary, he especially admired Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan's eyes. All he bought were gifts with Nanyang characteristics. You couldn't really see them on the streets of Dingbian. Not only were there gifts, There is also a letter home written by the officers, and a letter of thanks for each family in the name of the division headquarters.

In addition, Tang Qiuli also left 100 yuan in the ocean for each officer's family in his own name. This move made those family members who were concerned about their relatives in front of them burst into tears with gratitude. What is Chairman Tang? Identity?

It is well-known in Dingbian. The founder of Dingbian Special Economic Zone is almost a god-like existence. On the front wall of every home, there are large photos of Tang Qiuli in military uniform. Because of Chairman Tang, Dingbian Talents live a happy life that they never dreamed of. Now, Chairman Tang personally greeted him for the new year. The relatives of the officers suddenly felt that their faces were bright. When the convoy left, the neighbors asked curiously: "Brother, sister-in-law. Who are those soldiers, those with large carts and small carts? Why do I see that there are still two gold stars?"

The family members of the military officers looked proud, "Who is that? That's Chairman Tang, our guy. In the army, the frontline battle is tense, and we can't come back for the Chinese New Year. Chairman Tang gave us New Year's greetings. Did you see that? You can’t buy such Nanyang gifts on the street with money!”

The surprised and envious eyes of the neighbors made the relatives of these officers proud for a long time.
