I hurried to the bedroom. This was the first thing I did after getting up this morning. I had to pay a high price to have it made by others. I only went to pick it up after I came out of Azhu's house in the afternoon. The pair were made of gold.
of persimmons.
"Dad, Mom, Xiaonan and I wish you a happy New Year." I said, then put a beautiful box on the table, then slowly opened it, "It's on the market!"
A pair of beautiful golden persimmons suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Feng Xiao, I like your gift very much. Thank you!" Lin Yi was overjoyed.
I clearly heard my parents making surprised sounds at this moment.
Everyone drank a lot of wine in the evening.
I remember that of the years I spent growing up, the one I remember most was when I was a child. At that time, there were New Year’s money, new clothes, firecrackers, guests, and delicious food. Later, as life got better and better,
Those precious things that I once felt are no longer remembered in my heart.
Before Lin Yi left, he handed something to his father, "Brother, this is a little thought from me. Please accept it."
What he was holding was a stack of documents, and I didn’t know what it was. Of course my father was also surprised, “What is this?”
"This is an off-road vehicle I bought for you, a Cherokee. It's cheap, but very practical. It will be very convenient for you to go fishing or something like that on weekends. Once the procedures are completed, you can pick up the vehicle in your county.
The license plate is also from your local area." Lin Yi said.
My father was stunned, "How can this be done? How much will it cost?"
Lin Yi smiled and said: "I originally wanted to buy you a better car, but I was afraid that you wouldn't want it. The Cherokee is very cheap, costing tens of thousands of yuan. But now it is more convenient to have a car. Don't you think so?"
My father was very emotional, "Brother, you have thought too carefully. You actually sent someone to our place to go through the formalities."
"Brother, we are a family. Please don't be too polite about this little thing. Think about it, our daughter is like this now, and Feng Xiao has never left her. We are also very grateful." Lin
Easy to say.
The father didn't want to say anything else, so he immediately took the things in his hands. Lin Yi and Shi Yanni left immediately.
"Feng Xiao, do you know why he gave me this car?" my father asked me.
"He is a generous and generous person. Tens of thousands of dollars is a small thing to him. It is mainly for your convenience." I said, feeling ashamed: I should have handled this matter, but I never thought of it at all.
.
The father shook his head, "No, he wants you to treat his daughter better. I am your father, and he thinks I have a better say in how to treat his daughter."
I shook my head, "Dad, you are overthinking, that's not the case. A Cherokee is really cheap. It only costs more than 70,000 yuan on the market now. After the formalities are completed, it only costs more than 80,000 and less than 90,000 yuan."
.”
"Your father-in-law thinks very carefully about everything. No wonder he was able to build the company to such a large scale. His success is no fluke. This man is really different!" my father sighed.
"Yes. He really considers things very carefully and always makes people feel comfortable, making it difficult for others to refuse easily." I nodded.
"Take this car for example. It's really not that valuable, but that's just from the perspective of the car. But as he said himself, if he gave me a car worth hundreds of thousands, I would really
It’s unacceptable. He is a very powerful person who analyzes each other’s psychology at every turn. Feng Xiao, he has just said that he is grateful for your persistence in leaving his daughter. Haven’t you understood his intentions?
"?" My father looked at me and said.
I didn't take it seriously, "I never thought about giving up on Chen Yuan."
"It's really hard on you." His father sighed, but his eyes were looking at Azhu who was clearing the dining table with his mother.
I suddenly understood: It turns out that what my father said just now might have been meant for Ah Zhu. Could it be that he felt something?
Immediately, his father said something else, "Feng Xiao, why do I feel like I have returned to the legendary old society? Your classmate gave me a gift made of gold, and the gift you gave to your father-in-law was also gold. Could it be that you
Are you really too rich to tolerate other things?"
I hurriedly said: "Dad, am I still following your idea? But after all, he is the big boss, and I am his son-in-law and a junior. I really can't get rid of a basket of persimmons."
But my father said lightly: "As far as I know from Chinese history, any dynasty in which all the people pursue luxury will not last long."
I disagreed in my heart, "Dad, some things have nothing to do with us. We don't need to take care of such big things, and we can't. But as a junior, I can't really give him a basket of persimmons, right? After all, he is our Jiangnan
The richest man. Although the thing I gave him was made of gold, it was not worth much. It was only tens of thousands of dollars, which is almost the same as the car he gave you. Things are not important, as long as they feel valuable.
Just make sense."
The father sighed, "I wonder if I am falling behind or the society has really changed? Alas! But I really can't stand your luxurious lifestyle."
I think I should have a serious discussion about this issue with my father, "Dad, how can this be called luxury? What is the difference between putting money in a bank and turning it into gold? It is not necessarily true that gold can preserve its value better."
The father shook his head and said: "That's not what I'm talking about. Think about it when you were a child, you were so happy when I gave you ten yuan as a lucky gift. What about now? I think even if I give you a thousand yuan, you will get ten thousand yuan."
You won't be so happy, right? Because your expectations are completely different from before. The higher a person's expectations, the less happiness he will feel, which is a very sad thing."
I said: "High expectations are not necessarily a bad thing. As long as my money is earned reasonably and legally, the process of making money itself is a sense of happiness."
"There is only so much wealth in society. If you have more, others will have less," my father said.
"Modern society should encourage everyone to struggle and fight hard. If everyone is waiting to eat from the big pot, how can this society progress?" I suddenly laughed, because I felt that my father's ideas were really backward.
"I think Feng Xiao is right. What's wrong with making more money? Doesn't that just mean that this person is capable? Don't educate him with your old ideas." At this time, the mother came over and said.
"You guys..." Father sighed.
Later, when my father left, he left behind the gifts that Kang Demao gave to him and his mother, but took away the things that Lin Yi gave to him. I found that my father was really a very realistic person, because he could never combine gold with that.
Equivalent to the value of the car.
Azhu also came over, holding the red envelope in her hand, the red envelope given to her by Lin Yi, "Feng Xiao, there is a lot of money in it. I'm really embarrassed."
"How many?" I asked her with a smile.
"It seems like eight thousand, and there is a shopping card." She said.
"It's okay. Just take it. This little money is nothing to him." I said.
But my father gave me a meaningful look. Of course I understood what my father meant. He must have thought that Lin Yi did this to remind Azhu that Xiao Nan is Feng Xiao’s wife.
I don’t know why, but I also think Lin Yi may have such an intention. But I think Azhu is very bad at dealing with things, because my father also gave her a red envelope. I noticed just now that the red envelope his father gave her contained at most
Two thousand yuan. So, I don’t think Ah Zhu should talk about the red envelope in front of my parents.
A person's naivety and tragedy lies in his unawareness.
Fortunately, my father is more generous, or he understands Ah-Zhu's naivety, and perhaps it is for the sake of my dead mentor and Ah-Zhu's parents that he doesn't care about her.
"Feng Xiao, look how much he gave you?" my father said to me.
I took out the card Lin Yi gave to the child from my pocket, and the envelope he gave me.
"There must be a lot of money in this card." I said, "He gave it to his grandson. I don't want to check it. Let's wait until the child grows up."
"The child is still our grandson, but it's a pity that we don't have that much money," the father said.
Only then did I realize that I had made the same mistake as Azhu, and hurriedly said: "Dad, why are you saying that? Isn't the New Year's money just for the sake of it? Any amount is fine. Look at what he gave me, it seems that there is at most only
Two hundred yuan. That’s what it means.”
As I said that, I opened the envelope, but I found that it didn't contain any money at all!
"What is it?" My father also saw it and asked me immediately.
I hurriedly took a look at Azhu. I guess she didn't see what I pulled out of the envelope just now, so I smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's only two hundred yuan."
My father immediately understood, "Yes, it's just a meaning."
Inside the envelope were two receipts, shopping receipts.
I took a quick look and saw that one bill contained everything from coats to shirts, two sets in total. There was also a bill for leather shoes worth hundreds of thousands.
After Azhu left, my father asked me: "What is this? Is it so valuable?"
"Clothes. New clothes." I smiled bitterly.
My father was immediately surprised, "How can you wear such expensive clothes? You are a doctor. If you wear such clothes to work, others will gossip about you."
"I am his son-in-law, and he wants me to dress tastefully. You see, he has already bought it. I can't return it, right? I definitely won't wear it when I go to work. I will attend banquets with him in the future.
It comes in handy. I understand, he thinks that I was too poorly dressed when we went out to eat with him before, which tarnished his reputation as the richest man in Jiangnan." I replied, feeling a little strange: He wasn't
Have you always been very low-key? Why did you buy me such expensive clothes?
The father shook his head, "I really don't understand these rich people. Is it necessary to buy a set of clothes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars? It's such a luxury. Feng Xiao, I'm really worried about you."
"You old man, really. What are you worried about? I heard that those who are leaders, a pair of glasses costs millions. They are made of tortoise shell." The mother came over and said with a smile. She came out with the child in her arms.
Feed the child milk.
I went to see the child, "Mom, have you noticed? The child seems to have grown up a lot." (To be continued)
