Mother Xue and Cheng Tianyuan went to the market early in the morning and bought a lot of delicacies for the New Year.
After returning, the two of them got busy in the kitchen.
Xue Ling was playing with his son, while Xue's father was reading the newspaper.
Father Xue squinted his eyes and looked up at his daughter.
"Ling, last time I told you to go to your provincial capital to find a clothing wholesale market, did you feel at ease?"
Xue Ling held her son in her arms and spanked his plump little butt.
"I remember it! When I go back during the Chinese New Year, I plan to go over and have a look."
Dad Xue thought for a while and whispered: "I know the general situation there. There are a lot of stores for other people to get goods. You have a family now, so it is impossible to station there to sell goods."
"No!" Xue Ling explained: "I want to find those small wholesalers to supply. I have asked before that the wholesale markets in provincial capitals have a small supply of local products, and most of them are supplied from the north to the south. As long as you give me
The price is favorable enough and I supply it to wholesalers. I make money based on quantity, so I should still make a profit."
Father Xue looked at her angrily and snorted: "The price I gave you is not good enough? Huh? I don't make much except for capital and wages."
“Yes, yes!”
Xiao Ranran liked to be held high, and she giggled happily.
Father Xue looked at his cute little grandson, and his heart suddenly melted. He threw the newspaper away and grabbed his grandson with his big hand.
"Okay, okay! In order to have money for milk powder for our little Ranran, your mother can order as much as she wants and as fast as she wants."
Xue Ling felt something in his heart when he saw his grandfather and grandson having a great time.
"Dad, when Brother Yuan and I have a second child, I plan to discuss it with him and let the second child take my surname."
Father Xue was slightly stunned and turned to look at her.
"...I don't know if A Yuan and he agree. Mu Hai and the others are all honest people, but they are also rural people with traditional concepts. If you have more children, maybe they will be willing. But the second child... I guess it won't be big.
OK."
He and his wife only have one daughter, Xue Ling. If they had any idea of continuing the family line, they would definitely have had more children.
"Your mother and I don't value these things. It's enough for you to live a good life and have a happy family. The Xue family has many descendants, at least one or two. A while ago, Xiao Heng told me that he wanted us to be his godfathers.
Mom, we refused."
Xue Ling raised his eyebrows in surprise, not expecting such a thing to happen.
"He wants to be your godson?"
Father Xue nodded and whispered: "He said that he stayed away from his parents. Your mother and I are very good to him. He worships us as his elders and will honor us at our knees from now on."
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Why did you refuse?" Isn't this good?
"Your mother didn't agree." Xue's father explained: "She was unhappy for some reason and refused. I had to tell Xiao Heng that he was already my nephew, and I treated him as half a son. There was no need.
It's unnecessary. When Xiao Heng saw our refusal, he didn't have the nerve to mention it again."
Xue Ling glanced towards the kitchen and whispered: "Mom...maybe she has her own reasons."
"Your mother has always thought that a daughter is good." Xue's father lowered his voice: "But there are still some people who blame her for not having a son. They are the elders of some tribes. She doesn't say it, but she is still very unhappy in her heart. She is not
The main reason why she is willing to accept Xiao Heng is that she doesn't want to admit that she cares about it."
Xue Ling looked at his father and asked, "What about you? What do you think?"
"Of course I support your mother!" Dad Xue said solemnly: "What other people think is also other people's business. Your mother is the one who lives with me! Do you still need to ask this?"
"Pfft!" Xue Ling chuckled and gave him a thumbs up: "Dad, that's good!"
Dad Xue sighed softly and explained: "Back then, your dad almost couldn't get a wife. It was your mom who insisted on marrying me and waited for me for several years. Later, I had many ups and downs, and I almost lost it.
She has never left me, how can I treat her badly? She is already half dead, and living a good life is all that matters, so what else do you want to do!"
After a pause, he added: "To me, you are a descendant. Even if Xiao Ran's surname is Cheng, she is still my descendant. If you have more children, they can follow your surname, but if the elders in the family disagree
, then don’t force it. These are all false, and the most important thing is that you and A-Yuan live a good life."
Xue Ling felt something in her heart for a moment, and her eyes wet unconsciously.
"dad……"
This is true fatherly and motherly love. As long as you give without asking for anything in return, as long as your children live a good life, it doesn't matter what you do to the elderly.
Xue Ling whispered: "Don't worry, I will discuss it with Brother Yuan and my parents-in-law."
"Yes." Father Xue smiled slightly: "If you can agree, that's the icing on the cake. If you don't agree, don't force it."
Xue Ling nodded.
Father Xue held Xiao Ranran and went to watch the fish. The grandfather and grandson were laughing and laughing, very happy.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky darkened and snowflakes began to fall outside.
Mother Xue said with a smile: "It's time for the reunion dinner! It's cold this year, so let's have hot pot!"
"Hey! I like hotpot the most!" Xue Ling came forward happily.
Cheng Tianyuan hugged Xiao Ranran and sat next to her.
Father Xue and Mother Xue each took out a big red envelope and gave it to Xiao Ranran.
"I wish our little Ranran will grow up quickly! Grow up happily!"
Cheng Tianyuan took out two red envelopes from his pocket and handed them over.
"Dad, Mom, I finally made some money this year and prepared two small red envelopes for you. Gifts are light but affection is heavy. This is my heartfelt gift. I hope you will accept it. I wish you good health.
Happy life."
Father Xue and Mother Xue looked at each other and laughed.
"Thank you, you are considerate."
Xue Ling didn't expect that he had something hidden, so he snickered secretly.
This is progress!
Dad Xue said happily: "Then we wish you a prosperous business and a grandson in the coming year."
"Hey!" Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, parents."
Mother Xue asked everyone to eat.
After eating half of it, Xiao Ranran fell asleep.
Cheng Tianyuan carried him into the room to sleep and covered him with a quilt.
When I walked back to the kitchen, I heard Xue's father talking about Xue Heng.
"Xiao Heng didn't go back to the provincial capital last year to celebrate the New Year, but he went back this year. His younger brother is still abroad. He heard that it would take two years to graduate, so he couldn't go home. His parents are busy and it's hard to have an annual leave. I hope
He can go back. Anyway, there is nothing going on at the branch factory. I asked him to spend more time with his elders and come back after the Lantern Festival."
Xue Ling asked curiously: "I heard that he has successfully made a shipment to go to country M, right?"
"Yes." Father Xue explained: "Last year, I merged the old and new factories to become the original factory. The newly built one was called the second branch, named 'Lingyun Garment Factory'. Now he is the general manager and holds 30% of the shares. This
The income alone is not much, about 150,000 yuan. He divided tens of thousands yuan, plus his previous salary, which is enough for him to live a good year as a single man."
Xue Lingxiao asked: "He doesn't have a partner yet, does he?"
"Not yet." Xue's mother replied: "He has a high vision! A lot of people are rushing to find him partners and introduce them to him, but he doesn't like any of them."
Cheng Tianyuan was thoughtful and asked: "The name of the clothing factory is 'Lingyun Factory'? Did you name it dad?"
