Chapter 155: It's still the same brother-in-law
Chapter 155: It's still the same brother-in-law
Before Huang Xiaochuan went to Suzhou, Huang Dahai's marriage prospects were looking promising. One of Zeng Lijuan's friends introduced him to a primary school teacher, who took a liking to Huang Dahai. Now, Huang Dahai goes to the primary school to pick her up from get off work every night—he's so enthusiastic! It seems like he's on track to find a partner!
On August 24th, Huang Xiaochuan, carrying his luggage and the box, chartered a car from the station square to Suzhou. He didn't let his father and mother know about this, otherwise his mother would definitely scold him for being "wasteful." But it was really unnecessary to make Huang Xiaochuan squeeze onto a bus without air conditioning, especially since he was carrying the box. Huang Xiaochuan knew how valuable that thing was, even if it wasn't much now.
Huang Xiaochuan plans to take this box to his old apartment for safekeeping. He even needs to buy a safe specifically for it. You can lose anything, but you absolutely cannot lose this!
Huang Xiaochuan also had a mission on his way to Suzhou: to arrange jobs for the five veterans. It was just a formality, but he needed his uncle Zeng Jiahua to act as a shield.
The journey was smooth, and Huang Xiaochuan arrived at his grandmother's house before 3 p.m.
Everyone went to work, leaving only Grandma at home.
Huang Xiaochuan rushed forward and hugged his grandmother, making her so happy that she almost lost her dentures from laughing!
"Oh my, I can't even carry you anymore, you seem to have gained a little weight?"
"Grandma, how old am I? How could you possibly carry me?" Indeed, Huang Xiaochuan had gained some weight due to a lack of exercise during this period, but he would resume his five-kilometer run every morning when he returned to school.
"Grandma, look what I bought for you!" Huang Xiaochuan took out the big gold bracelet he bought for his grandmother from Chung Ying Street and personally put it on her wrist.
"Oh my? Why did you buy this? It must have cost a lot of money." Grandma felt a little sorry for Huang Xiaochuan's wasteful spending, but she already knew that Huang Xiaochuan had money; Zeng Jiahua had told her.
"Don't worry about the price, just do what you like. Grandma, do you like it?"
"I love it!" Grandma happily touched the bracelet. What made her even happier was that her precious grandson had thought of buying her a gift. She really hadn't spoiled him for nothing.
Then Huang Xiaochuan asked about his family. He remembered that his eldest and second eldest sisters should have graduated and started working this year.
"Grandma, have Sister Hong and Sister Xia gone to work?"
"They've both gone to work. Your eldest sister is an accountant at the county's Bureau of Commerce, and your second sister is a nurse at the county hospital. They usually live in the company dormitory and only come back on their days off. However, your second sister's days off aren't always Sundays."
"By the way, your eldest sister and second sister both have boyfriends."
Huang Xiaochuan was also very happy to hear this, but he immediately had a doubt in his heart: Could it be that the person has been replaced?
Both of my sisters-in-law were good in my previous life, especially my second sister-in-law. I hope they are the same in this life.
Today is Saturday. My aunt and uncle came home from get off work one after the other in the evening. Before Zeng Jiahua came back, Huang Xiaochuan gave the last gold bracelet to my aunt.
The aunt was so happy that she kept wiping away tears. She never expected that her nephew, whom she had raised since childhood, would bring her a gift, and such a big gold bracelet at that.
But my aunt refused to take it.
"Little monkey, give this to your mom, I don't want it."
"Auntie! My mom has one too. This one is for you. Grandma, my mom, and you each have one. Just keep it! There will be more in the future. I will take care of you in the future." Huang Xiaochuan quickly coaxed his aunt to accept the big gold bracelet.
Huang Xiaochuan's words brought tears to his aunt's eyes. It was worth it for raising him since he was a child; they were still close to each other.
Just then, Zeng Jiahua returned home and, seeing his wife wiping away tears, asked, "What happened? Why are you crying?"
Aunt held out her wrist to show Zeng Jiahua the large gold bracelet: "Little monkey bought this for me, isn't it pretty?"
Following the updates on Cola Novels has never been so enjoyable.
Zeng Jiahua leaned closer to take a look and nodded, saying, "It's beautiful, it's beautiful! How much did you buy it for?"
Huang Xiaochuan casually said, "I bought it in Chung Ying Street, Hong Kong. It cost over fifty yuan per gram, which is ten yuan cheaper than the gold price here. This bracelet cost over four thousand yuan."
Upon hearing that it was only a little over four thousand, Zeng Jiahua, who was holding a mobile phone worth over twenty thousand, didn't think it was expensive.
"That's quite a bargain! Your grandma and your aunt both got gifts, what about me?"
Huang Xiaochuan took out four bottles of Rémy Martin Louis XIII: "These are the wines I brought for you. What do you think?"
Zeng Jiahua picked up a box and looked at it for a long time. He didn't recognize any of the words on it, but at least he knew it was foreign liquor.
"Foreign liquor? I can't stand it, it tastes like foot bath water."
Huang Xiaochuan laughed. He knew the kind of wine his uncle was talking about. It was a concoction that one of his uncle's drinking buddies got from somewhere and was used to fool people.
"This wine costs over two thousand a bottle! I can't say whether it tastes good or not, but it's definitely better than the kind you've had before. Try it for yourself if you don't believe me."
Upon hearing that the four bottles of wine were worth ten thousand, Zeng Jiahua was overjoyed, thinking that his nephew had not been spoiled in vain.
Huang Xiaochuan came back today. My aunt originally wanted to buy some groceries to cook, but my uncle waved his hand and said, "Don't cook. I'll call a restaurant and have a table of food delivered. Xiaohong said she brought her boyfriend back for dinner this morning."
Huang Xiaochuan was quite excited when he heard that his future brother-in-law was coming, and he hoped it would be the same one as before.
When the restaurant delivered the food, the eldest sister, Zeng Hong, arrived home with her boyfriend, Tang Jianhua.
Upon seeing Huang Xiaochuan, Zeng Hong immediately went up to him and ruffled his hair, as she was used to bullying him.
"Hey, hey, I advise you to be more ladylike, or I'll tell your whole secret to your brother-in-law." Seeing that it was still his brother-in-law from his previous life, Huang Xiaochuan felt relieved and started joking with his older sister, Zeng Hong.
Zeng Hong wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she took Huang Xiaochuan's arm and led him to Tang Jianhua, introducing him as, "This is my boyfriend, his name is Tang Jianhua."
Huang Xiaochuan extended his hand with a smile and introduced himself: "Huang Xiaochuan, I'm your brother-in-law."
As soon as Huang Xiaochuan said it, the whole family burst into laughter.
"Hello, hello! I've heard your sister talk about you a lot. You're really handsome!" Tang Jianhua shook hands with Huang Xiaochuan very politely.
Huang Xiaochuan's brother-in-law was a junior manager at a catering company under the county's Bureau of Commerce. He was a kind and honest man. After being laid off in his previous life, he opened a restaurant by Taihu Lake with the help of his father-in-law. The business was quite good. He and Zeng Hong had a daughter who took Zeng Hong's surname. The couple were very loving throughout their lives.
At this moment, Zeng Jiahua spoke up: "Alright! The food is getting cold, hurry up and sit down to eat. Let's have more old wine tonight."
Tang Jianhua took this opportunity to greet each of his family members.
After everyone sat down, Huang Xiaochuan gave the gift to his eldest sister, Zeng Xia: "Sister Hong, this is for you. I'll bring your husband something next time."
Cartier women's watches are classic and every woman would love them, and Zeng Hong is no exception. Just by looking at the box, you can tell that the contents are very valuable.
However, compared to its price decades from now, this watch is only worth a little over two thousand Hong Kong dollars now.
The moment Zeng Hong saw the watch, she was amazed. "Wow, there are such beautiful watches!"
After putting it on, she asked Tang Jianhua, "Does it look good?"
"Of course it will look great," Tang Jianhua nodded repeatedly.
However, he was very curious about where Huang Xiaochuan got so much money to buy this.
"Alright! Let's eat!" Zeng Jiahua urged again.
