Chapter 1056: Running away from home
,
After the reunion dinner and dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, the new year has officially arrived.
After this year, Qingbao and Xinbao spent the New Year at home, and Qu Weiyang and his wife wrapped big red envelopes for their two children.
The two babies are older, they know what the money is for, and when they look at the money, they jump and jump with joy, "Thank you grandpa, thank you grandma." ”
Jiakang and Meilin also saw it, and the red envelope contained four pieces of five yuan, which was equivalent to a child giving twenty yuan.
Forty yuan for the two children, which is equivalent to a month's salary for ordinary workers, is really willing to give it to the two children.
"Dad, Mom, they are still young, how can they give them so much money?
No, it's too much, you just give them one or two pieces. Mei Lin looked a little anxious, this is too much.
Now my father-in-law works alone, my mother-in-law doesn't earn money, and my brother-in-law and sister-in-law have to go to college.
Even if the school gives subsidies, the family has to give some pocket money, right? All pointing to the salary of my father-in-law, can the family plan to open it?
They used to take the money back, but the mother-in-law always made a way to give them back, and she gave more.
Meilin was embarrassed, so she simply sent things home in the past two years and didn't give money, lest her mother-in-law always try to make up for them.
Of course, this didn't prevent it, and every time they went back, they were wrapped in big bags and small bags.
The mother-in-law will give them a lot of food, anyway, no matter how much they come back, they won't lose money, and they can still make money.
Mei Lin was also worried, afraid that the money in the hands of the old couple would not be enough.
"Mom, my dad is the only one in the family who earns his salary, and there are so many places to spend money.
The fourth and fifth are not married, and the daughter-in-law has to save some money at home.
Don't give them so much money, the little kid doesn't know how hard it is to make money, so when the time comes, take it out and spend it indiscriminately. Mei Lin said that she wanted the children to return the money to Qiaolian.
Qiao Lian hurriedly stopped, "Look at you, don't I give the child this time a year?"
Those are far away and don't come back, but both of them come back to accompany me every winter vacation, and I am really happy to have children with me.
Don't care about the money or the money, just make the children happy, our children are sensible, I believe they will take care of their own money.
You can rest assured, there is no shortage of money at home, I will go to work after the new year, and your father and I will earn money at that time.
You don't have to spend any of your family's money, you can't lose us. ”
"Okay, this is the heart of our old couple, that's all, no more, you let the children take it, let them learn to manage by themselves.
When they are young, they have to have the concept of money, know how to spend money and how to make money.
If you don't give them money, they don't even know what they can do with money, and can you expect them to know how to live in the future? ”
Qiao Lian smiled and grabbed Mei Lin, not allowing her to ask the children to get the money back.
What kind of temper her mother-in-law is, Mei Lin knows very well, since her mother-in-law said so, if she insists on returning the money, her mother-in-law will definitely not be happy.
"Mom, then this time this year, you can't give them money like this next year, it's too much."
Twenty dollars this year is really a lot. A child has twenty dollars in his hand, who would dare to think about it before?
But since her mother-in-law said it, Meilin was embarrassed to put away the child's money, so she could only let them take it herself.
Over there, Qiao Lian didn't answer Mei Lin's words, but instead talked to Qingbao and Xinbao.
"As for the money, you have to take it yourself, but how to spend it, you have to think about it.
Wait a minute, I'll give you both a small notebook, and every time you spend money, write it down on it, and wait until you come back to grandma's house, and I'll check the accounts.
I'll have to see what you're both doing with this money, and if you're spending it indiscriminately, you know? ”
Qiaolian wants to slowly guide the children to learn to keep accounts, learn to effectively manage their own money, and lay a foundation for the future.
The two children have always been obedient, and immediately nodded, "Okay, grandma, we must keep the accounts." ”
Qingbao simply agreed, and Xin Bao over there also nodded.
The two children have lived at home for more than a month, they have eaten well, they have gained weight again, and their round little faces are very cute.
"Okay, it's not early, let's go to someone's house, there will be people coming to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow morning, and it won't look good if you get up too late."
Qiao Lian looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already past twelve o'clock, so she said that everyone should go and rest.
Qingbao Xinbao naturally still sleeps with Qu Weiyang and his wife, and the others arrange their own arrangements, anyway, the Qu family's house is big, and it is easy for such a few people to arrange it.
Everyone stayed up for half the night, lay down and slept naturally, and slept until almost seven o'clock in the morning.
On the first day of the new year, Qu's family did not stop coming, relatives and friends, Qu Weiyang's colleagues, all came to sit and pay New Year's greetings, and the family came and went lively.
The second year of junior high school was not idle, and in the third year of junior high school, the family went back to Daying Chen's house to visit the old lady.
The old lady of the Chen family is eighty-one years old this year, with silver hair and a kind smile.
Over the years, Qiaolian has not stopped conditioning the old lady's body, and the old lady has a very good attitude, she doesn't care about everything at home, and she doesn't talk every day when she smiles.
The old lady doesn't have any worries, she can eat, drink and sleep, and there are special people to regulate her body, of course, it will not be bad.
Seeing that the old lady is still in good health, the big guys are also very happy, no matter when, there is a home when the mother is there, if the mother is gone, it will be boring for them to come back.
"Look at our mother's state, there has been nothing at all in ten or eight years, I see, our mother can see the fifth generation." The Qiaoyun sisters got together and muttered quietly.
Sun Yongcheng, the Chen family, is twenty years old this year, this is studying to take the exam, otherwise, how many years is there to get married and have children? Isn't that the fifth generation watching?
"That's good, I wish our mother could live to be a hundred years old, and we can come back every year to reunite, how good?"
Qiao Lian also thinks that the old lady is in a very good state, ten or eight years is less, and if she can't really reach the age of 100, it will be a long life.
The three guys in junior high school had a lot of excitement at Chen's house, and they didn't go home until the evening, and they invited relatives and friends to reunite at home on the fourth and fifth days of junior high school.
On the sixth day of the new year, Qu Weiyang returned to work in the county, and Jiakang and his family led their children back to Donggang by car.
Jiasheng Jiaxiang reported on February 20, that is, around the 14th of the first month, and Qiaolian discussed with them and went a few days early.
When I got over there, I went to see Jia and Wanying and Jiaying, and brought them some things from home by the way.
From Daying to the capital, if it goes well, it will take more than two days to arrive, so on the ninth day of the first month, Jiasheng Jiaxiang and the two packed their clothes and luggage, and then set off by train and went straight to the capital.
The two children are older, and there is nothing to worry about going out, so Qu Weiyang and Qiaolian didn't send it, but only said that they asked them to send a telegram back when they got to the place.
In addition, Jiahe was also notified and asked to pick him up at the station when the time came.
Sure enough, on the afternoon of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Qu Weiyang received a telegram from the capital, saying that the two of them had arrived in the capital safely, and everything was fine, so that the family did not have to worry.
