Chapter 377: [Distant Relatives]
When the two returned to Guozhuang, the Yu family and the people from the Guo family, they learned that Mr. Yu, who had long passed away, had such a powerful relative, and everyone was immediately excited.
Most of them are excited and envious, and some even have thoughts that they shouldn't have.
"The Xu family said, let our family go and see it in the first lunar month?" asked Yu Ping, Yu Xiashu's youngest daughter.
She never thought that she was just looking for relatives, but who would have thought that she would find such a prominent relative.
Yu Ping married in this village, which is considered intermarriage within the clan. In fact, intermarriage within the clan is also given priority and will never marry cousins within the Five Blessings. There are now about 400 families in the village, and there are still many of them who are separated from the Five Blessings relationship.
Yu Conghui nodded and told about the matter about the Xu family. At the same time, she also talked about the conditions of the Xu family, which made everyone present imagined.
Especially the local specialties brought back by Yu Conghui this time, perhaps not everyone is used to eating them, but just by looking at the packaging, you know that they are definitely not cheap.
"Sister, what kind of person is Xu Ning?" Yu Ping's granddaughter is still in junior high school this year. She is a teenage girl in adolescence. Because she is also very favored at home, her grandparents and parents spoil her, and her temperament is a little unrestrained.
Yu Conghui curled her lips, "It's very beautiful!"
She doesn't know what to say about other things, but being pretty is the first impression.
"Xiaohui, what did you see when you went to the Xu family? Do you have a big house and a big car at home?"
"The house is big, it can match our house with six or seven, so there are definitely no shortages of cars."
The houses in rural areas are usually three, four or six or eight. Yu Conghui's house has six houses, with a total area of seventy or eighty square meters. Of course, if you count the courtyard, it will cost about three hundred square meters.
"I haven't been to the imperial capital yet, why don't we go and have a look together in the first lunar month?"
"Uncle Fourth, you haven't even been out of our county town, have you?"
Everyone was discussing here with a hot atmosphere.
Next door, Yu Minghui and a few uncle brothers were not idle either. In fact, they all wanted to go to the imperial capital to see each other when they knew this relative.
People are different. Some people think that they simply go to recognize the family, while others think that they may take advantage of the Xu family. They will take care of their children and meet for the first time. How can the elders not give their children New Year's money?
Such families, why do they have to give them a thousand or eight hundred for the first time when they meet? The family has three or four children, and they can earn several thousand for one trip, which is equivalent to the family’s net income for half a year.
Let’s talk about traveling, can’t we arrange food and accommodation there?
That night, after each went home, they discussed this matter on their own kang and bed.
When the children who went to school went to school, they also talked to their good friends, saying that they would follow their families to visit the imperial capital in the first month of next year, and that was the same relatives in the family.
There are no secrets between students. Although some children keep their friends secret, they may be vain in their hearts. I hope that the whole school will know that children are immature in their hearts and very few are stable. Whoever has no vanity and does not want to be attracted by everyone and is envied by others.
So, in less than two days, the Yu family found the old master Yu's personal sister, and his younger generations were also rich people with famous emperors. It was rumored that it was very popular, and soon everyone in the village knew about it.
The Yu family and the Guo family are in-laws, and the younger generations are almost married to each other. Since they are relatives of the Yu family, they are also related to the Guo family, especially the village chief and the old man Yu's nephew. This relationship cannot be said to be far away.
It was a unilateral relative of the Yu family. Now many people in the village know that the Yu family is going to go to the imperial capital in the first lunar month, and many people are also here, probably because they are trapped and want to follow them to see them.
The village family is a member of the original story. If you have a little thick skin, you can open your mouth, which is not something that is difficult to talk about.
If the adults can't go, the children can go with them. I don't know why the meeting ceremony has spread, or there is this custom everywhere. If you have some knowledge and relatives who have not seen each other for many years come to you, you have to give a red envelope, which is unreasonable.
Moreover, following the Yu family and the Guo family's adults, the children would not worry about something. They would eat and drink for free when they went there, and they could bring red envelopes when they came back. Those who didn't go there were fools.
For a time, the Yu family was in constant flow. Not only the Yu Conghui family, but also the descendants of Yu Xiashu's five children suddenly felt that their backs were straight. Although in Guozhuang, the Yu family and the Guo family had a good relationship, they had never distinguished each other over the years and had a happy time together.
But the Xu family is a direct relative of their Yu family. It feels different in itself to have such a wealthy family.
Xu Ning didn't know what Yu's family thoughts, and even if he knew, he wouldn't take it seriously.
As for red envelopes, even if they are not related for decades, even if they are always in the middle of the year, when relatives bring their children in the house during the New Year, they will still have to pay New Year's money. Qin Zhao and Qin Xiang's children will also give them a big red envelope every year in the first month of the year.
Of course, the number of red envelopes is also of particular importance.
The Qin family is a wealthy family, and the vision of three children is not comparable to that of the Yu family's children.
I guess the children will be happy if they give each junior in the Yu family one or two hundred, but they won’t care if they give each of the Qin family one or two thousand. They just don’t care about it. They don’t care at all, and the family has this confidence.
Xu Jianjun was not in a hurry to tell the old lady the news, because he was afraid that the old lady would be anxious, so he was worried about it while on vacation there and could not be idle.
Anyway, they will come in the first lunar month. The old lady and the others can return to Beijing in the twelfth lunar month. If you talk to her at that time, the hope for life will be short, and they will not be worried about it.
I haven't seen other children in the Yu family before. Just seeing Yu Conghui, this little girl has a pretty good personality. Of course, she may have her own mind and behave properly this week in the Xu family. Even if they are elders, they will not care about a younger generation. They have different growth conditions. How can they measure others by their own standards? Xu Jianjun is not so hegemonic.
There is not much time left before the Chinese New Year. Yu family plans to rent a bus directly from Mocheng to the imperial capital. Although it takes about ten hours to drive on the road, a bus full of 50 people can be carried.
Besides, there are children in it, so parents can hold it.
I have a better idea. Seeing so many people, I feel like I’m rushing over, maybe the Xu family will be upset. Besides, where can I live, I don’t have to spend money to let you stay in a hotel. How much does it cost?
It is their ability to be rich. You can't just be so shameless just because they are rich.
But they can't say such words. Do you say you don't want to go? Then don't go, save money.
In a blink of an eye, this year entered the twelfth lunar month.
On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, four old men came back from Haicheng accompanied by Xu Jianjun and his wife. They looked very good and looked comfortable in Haicheng.
On the way back, Xu Jianjun told the old lady about the Yu family.
Sure enough, when the old lady heard that she had found her descendants of her second brother, she became excited. When she heard that her elder brother had no descendants and died less than two years after being abducted, she could only cry silently. However, when she learned that Yu Xiashu's descendants would come to visit her in the first month of the year, the old lady became energetic again.
When I got home, I started to direct everyone to work hard. I directly sent someone to drink some sausages and bought a lot of red envelopes to prepare for New Year greetings to the children in the first lunar month. After discussing with my family, each red treasure was stuffed with 600 yuan.
At present, I don’t know how many people will come to the Yu family, and they have stuffed twenty or thirty red envelopes, ten or twenty thousand yuan.
"I don't know how many people can come to your second uncle's house, whether the place at home is enough, if it is not enough, arrange it to be in the hotel. Does our hotel have a place?"
Xu Rui next to him took a sip with a red wine glass, "Grandma, our hotel has always been made for reservations, and the rooms in front of him have been booked until next winter. If the place at home is not enough, I will book another hotel for them. What do you think?"
Although it was the descendant of her second brother who had been worried about her for decades, the old lady was not a fool. Can she still make things difficult for her nephew and nephew? The old lady couldn't bear to let her go, and she was not stupid.
"Then you go and arrange it." The old lady drank the dumpling soup in the bowl. "In fact, it would be great to live in the hotel. Joey lives at home during the Chinese New Year. She is pregnant. Don't have too many children to come and fight and rush to Joey."
Xu Rui smiled in his eyes, nodded and looked at his wife, "I will make arrangements in the past two days."
The old lady realized this and turned her head to her husband and said, "New Year is coming soon. When Junran's children are on holiday, they will be sent here together. Anyway, they will come here for the New Year, so Yangyang and the three brothers and sisters will also come here."
Uncle Lao Yao's beard trembled with a smile, "You have the final say."
Although Ren Junran is his grandson and has nothing to do with the Xu family, he, an old woman, is a kind-hearted and treats the two children Mingzong and Ren Yue equally. Uncle Yao did not treat Ren Junran's family with any special treatment behind his back. He gave everything to his wife. On the one hand, he believed in her, and on the other hand, he did not want to make her sad.
Laba porridge is cooked, and after it is cooked, it will be delivered to the relatives and neighbors whom you get along with.
Entering Laba, this year is counting down, and every household is starting to get busy.
The children all had a holiday two days before the New Year. As soon as the holiday was on, Uncle Lao Yao called and asked them to send all the children to live there.
Ren Junran is naturally on holiday, but even if it is on holiday, he still has constant work. Recently, he has been translating several foreign scientific research books, but his tasks are still quite high.
Jiang Xiuqing originally wanted to drive the two of them to come here, but Ren Yue simply took her younger brother to the Xu family by bus.
The siblings got off the bus. It was not far from the Xu family, less than two hundred meters away, and they could get there quickly.
As she spoke, she entered the door. Originally, Ren Yue had to send her younger brother over and then go home. Her father had a translation job at home, so she had to prepare for her mother at home, clean up housework or clean up.
Although I will come here to spend New Year's Eve with my great-grandfather this year, my hygiene needs to be tidyed up. Besides, I cannot just bring my four mouths to the door for dinner. Everything you can bring during the New Year needs to be prepared.
However, just as he saw them cleaning at home, Ren Yue naturally rolled up her sleeves and came forward to help.
The furniture at home is very clean, and the corners need to be cleaned, and the curved veranda of the courtyard naturally cannot be pulled down.
She held a feather duster and together with Xie Yang, the two of them occupied one side, wearing hats, swept the dust in the veranda, and stepped on the seats of the veranda guardrail if they couldn't reach it, and then they needed to be wiped again.
It is certain that the Xu family’s house is beautiful, but only after I clean it up, I know that it can be exhausted.
The two of them cleaned up in a circle. Not to mention the girl Ren Yue, Xie Yang felt that his arms were so sore.
Looking at Xie Yang's sweaty nose, Ren Yue handed him a wet tissue, "It's all done to wipe his face."
"Thank you, Sister Yue." Xie Yang spread out the wet tissue and wiped his face, "Let's rest, Sister Yue is tired, are you?"
"I'm so tired. Other families must have hired a helping servant. The great-grandfather and grandma are simple."
"My mother also said she would hire a servant before, but the grandmother and grandmother didn't like having outsiders at home. They felt that they were in good health. Now they just invited Grandma Zhou to cook here, which is already a big concession."
I helped clean here for a day, and Ren Yue prepared to go back after dinner.
Where can the old man agree? It’s eight o’clock in the evening. Who can rest assured to let her go back as a big girl?
Besides, it’s already been on holiday now, so staying here for one night is not a problem.
Ren Yue couldn't resist and slept here all night, and was about to go back the next day.
The old lady liked the little girl, "Didn't Yueyue have been on holiday, why are you in a hurry to go home?"
"My dad took a job as a translator a year ago, and my mom was the only one at home. I have to go back and help."
"I come to my house for dinner during the Chinese New Year. Don't make too many things. I've been busy for a year and it's easy to get at the end of the year. When I go back, I'll talk to your mother and have everything at home."
Ren Yue nodded, took the fruits and vegetables prepared by the old lady for her, and prepared to take the bus back.
Before he could take two steps, he was stopped by Joey.
"Do you want to go home? I'll drive you."
Joey is the only one who can drive at home now. Xu Rui and the others are going to work. Xu Jianjun took Qin Xuejuan out to visit his old friend. Even if he wanted to find someone to send him away, he wouldn't know who to look for. If Xu Rui and Xu Ning were asked to send someone back from the company, Ren Yue would have been home by himself.
"Auntie, don't worry about me. I can take the bus back, and I can take a taxi at the entrance of the alley."
"It's okay, I want to go out for a walk, too." Joey greeted the old lady, led Ren Yue to the parking area, and pressed the remote control lock of the sports car.
Ren Yue looked at the black high-profile and luxurious sports car in front of her, opened the car door and went in, and was very curious about the space inside.
"This is the first time I've been in a sports car." She said with a slight excitement.
