Chapter 1097: Doing as the Locals Practice
Hangzhou, China.
A Chinese-style house nestled in a forest on the west side of West Lake has been the focus of attention on the top floor of the city's pyramid in recent days.
Because of the sudden arrival of a certain supertycoon.
Then the news came out that Simon Westeros came to China this time for personal reasons, specifically to establish a relationship with a girl surnamed Lin, and there were even rumors that the girl was pregnant. The status of those who can find out this news will not be low, and the reaction to this matter will not be as red-eyed as some ordinary people who habitually hate the rich, but will be envious.
That's Simon Westeros!
According to the continuous news from abroad, as American technology stocks continue to skyrocket, Simon Westeros's personal net worth has reached $2 trillion.
Tut.
Two trillion US dollars is completely unimaginable, after all, the domestic GDP in the past year was only 860 billion US dollars.
Not to mention the rest, the other party has just landed in China, and the orders directly from the capital have been pressed down layer by layer, requiring all departments to do a good job in reception and not allow mistakes. Then, in addition to a certain tycoon's leisure, a large number of people were canceled from their annual leave.
Simon and Lin Su set off on the morning of February 3 and arrived in China on the afternoon of February 4, Beijing time, which was the 27th day of the lunar month.
Straight to the door.
Frankly communicated with Father Lin and Mother Lin, and the Lin family, who had expected it, also recognized it.
Simon also prepared a rich dowry according to Chinese tradition, and Lin Su's set of rings naturally had a lot, and after a lively family banquet that night, the relationship between the two was completely settled.
After all, with the social level of the Lin family, some things are not uncommon at all. 's daughter became Simon Westeros's woman, even if she is not a genuine wife, but in any way, she is not a condescending woman. Lin's father and Lin's mother once thought that their daughter would remain unknown by each other's side. Now, the other party came to the door in person, did his best to pay the courtesy, and then learned about the other party's arrangements for the child in his daughter's womb, so it was impossible to ask for too much.
I got this done in a hurry, and the next day was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month.
This year, there is no 30th lunar month, this day is Chinese New Year's Eve, and in the courtyard in the evening, the Lin family, still surrounded by a festive atmosphere, is preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner lively.
Because this compound covering an area of more than six acres is spacious enough, coupled with Father Lin's inevitable show-off thoughts, in addition to Lin Su's grandparents, Father Lin also invited his other four brothers and sisters to come here for the New Year today, and there are more than 30 people in the compound at this time.
In the spacious kitchen on the side of the compound, except for the two chefs invited to take charge, the rest are the female relatives of the Lin family who are busy, after all, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is more atmospheric.
Lin Lan was next to her sister who insisted on coming over to help like a fart, picking a basket of beans indiscriminately, and gossiping in a gossipy tone: "Sister, did he really promise that the child would be called Simon Lin Westeros in the future?"
Lin Su guessed that his father, who was chatting with relatives in the main house, deliberately slipped his mouth, and was heard by his sister, and when he saw her asking, he just nodded slightly.
"Although, I also know that Westerners like to use the names of their elders when naming their children, but I still feel weird," Lin Lan saw her sister nodding and expressing her opinion, and then lowered her voice a little: "But, after all, it's little Simon, he, that, well, doesn't the main house have an opinion on this?"
Before Lin Su could react, Lin Lan's head had already been slapped by a hand, and she subconsciously turned her head, seeing her mother who was not kind to her, Lin Lan hurriedly tried to change the topic: "Mom, your hands are wet, my hair is ......"
Mother Lin didn't give her second daughter a chance to change the topic at all, glared at her and said, "If you can't speak, keep your mouth shut." ”
"Why can't I speak, I only spoke in front of my sister," Lin Lan muttered, and couldn't help it: "Mom, you say, what if it's a girl?"
This sentence obviously made Lin's mother even more angry, and she slapped it again, although it hit Lin Lan's back this time, she didn't spare her hand at all, and Lin Lan's screams of pain caused other ladies in the kitchen to look at her. Mother Lin smiled at everyone, and grabbed her second daughter's ears and pulled them in the direction of the door: "Go and go, don't make trouble here, it's annoying to see you, it's a big New Year, what nonsense are you talking about." ”
Although Mother Lin has always advertised that she is not patriarchal, how can her daughter give birth to a boy!
drove the second daughter away, and Mother Lin said to the eldest daughter as if soothing: "Don't listen to your sister's nonsense, she has had a bad mouth since she was a child, and you don't know it." ”
"It's nothing," Lin Su just smiled, compared to the low level in North America a few days ago, in the past few days, because of a certain man doing these things, her whole temperament has become clear again, and she continued in a low voice: "Actually, he likes children very much, if it's a girl this time, it doesn't matter, I ...... Well, I can have another one, there is no family planning in the United States anyway. ”
Lin Mu nodded slightly, and then sighed softly: "Xiao Su, if he can do it to this extent, we can all feel that he is sincere to you." However, even if you don't say it, I can guess that there must be a lot of women around him, in short, in the future, you can't actually expect too much, take care of yourself, and have children, in short, let yourself live a little better, don't worry too much about fame and the like. ”
Lin Su nodded: "Mom, I know." ”
Saying this, Lin Su couldn't help but think of someone's arrangement for the women around him, all of them were a pair, even if it was Dumei Point Manor, it was two Jennies. Obviously, he probably had something in mind as well.
What a bastard.
Seeing that the eldest daughter suddenly remembered something, Mother Lin did not bother, neatly finished picking a basket of beans, handed it to a female relative next to her, and changed a basket of greens to continue picking, while continuing: "By the way, Xiaosu, there is one more thing, tonight, you know, Chinese New Year's Eve, it stands to reason that your father and I should give him red envelopes, this, do you think you want to give?"
Lin Su blinked, and then curled the corners of his mouth: "Of course you have to give it, why don't you give it?"
"So, how much is appropriate?"
"Give Qin Yusong as much as you want, give him as much as you want, they are all sons-in-law, you can't favor one over the other, right?"
Mother Lin saw that the corners of her daughter's mouth smiled more when she said these words, and she couldn't help but pat it on the back of her hand: "I know that I am joking, and I want to see your mother's jokes." ”
"No," Lin Su restrained a little and said, "He is very conformist, and this red envelope should be regarded as a change of lip red envelope." ”
Mother Lin was stunned when she heard this.
I fantasized a little about a certain Simon Westeros and called them ...... It's a bit unbearable to think about.
After staying for a while, Mother Lin said again: "Then, let your father give it." ”
Lin Su smiled a little more: "Don't embarrass my dad, he will be scared." ”
Mother Lin thought about her husband's appearance in front of her eldest daughter in the past two days, as if he wanted to support his father-in-law's frame and was obviously missing bones, but then glared at her daughter again: "How can you say that about your father?"
Lin Su looked innocent: "I didn't say anything." ”
Mother Lin hesitated for a moment before she said again: "Otherwise, you go and talk to him and explain the matter of the red envelope, that, just change your words." ”
Lin Su shook his head directly: "I am his woman now, and I am pregnant with his child, so he should change his words." ”
"It's different, don't think I don't understand anything, I've heard that foreigners also call their fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law by name, and they don't have the habit of calling their parents. ”
Lin Su hummed, and then concentrated on picking vegetables.
Seeing her daughter like this, Mother Lin thought about it for a while, and then said carefully: "Or, it's okay to be formal, just call your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
Lin Su saw her mother's tangled look, and then thought about the man's side, she actually didn't communicate with him about it in private, in case ...... In this way, it is actually not bad: "Then I'll talk to him later, but Qin Yusong calls your parents, and he calls his father-in-law and mother-in-law, right?"
"Then let Xiao Qin shout along, it won't be wrong. ”
Lin Su shrugged slightly.
"What's wrong with this?" Mother Lin raised her hand and hit her eldest daughter on the shoulder, and after speaking, she remembered one more thing: "Hey, also, your uncle and aunt's child outside will also give red envelopes after Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, have you prepared it?"
Lin Su nodded: "It's ready." ”
Lin Mu subconsciously lowered her voice a little more and asked, "How much?"
Lin Su said: "666." ”
Mother Lin was taken aback: "So many?"
He set it, thinking that this number was auspicious. Lin Su said, seeing his mother's distressed look, he explained: "It's nothing, you know, money is not money at all in his place." ”
"That can't give so much," Lin Mu's voice instinctively raised a little, and hurriedly lowered: "That, it's RMB, right?"
"He's an American, a dollar, of course. ”
When Mother Lin heard this, she subconsciously converted it in her mind, shook her hand, and a handful of vegetables fell into the frame, and directly pulled her daughter out of the kitchen, walked to a storage room next door, and said in a low voice: "No, you can't give so much." ”
More than 600 US dollars, converted into RMB, more than 5,000.
Of course, Mother Lin knew that her daughter and man had too much money to spend, but the New Year's money given at one time was equivalent to a year's salary of most people, which was also a little too messy.
Lin Su was dragged over, and said helplessly: "Mom, we have already wrapped the red envelopes." ”
"Then heavy bag, Xiaosu, listen to Mom, it's not a one-year thing, this year has given so much, what should you do next year, can't you give so much every year, right?"
"It's still so much in the future," Lin Su held his mother's hand and persuaded: "Mom, this is really nothing, and, think about it, everyone knows that he has a lot of money, and he has no face, I don't want him to be gossiped about in private." ”
"That's ......" Lin Mu was about to continue, and suddenly reacted: "I also said that he set it, this is obviously your decision, I said, how can he, an American, know what six hundred and sixty-six, you, no matter how much face you want." In my opinion, sixty-six is very good, and sixty-six is good. ”
Lin Su also found that he had said something wrong, but he didn't mean to quibble: "Okay, Mom, this is our business." Moreover, Xiaoguang is not an outsider, so it should be my aunt who gave them tuition fees in the future. ”
Mother Lin felt her daughter's stubborn tone, sighed, and reacted again: "Even if Xiaoguang and they are not outsiders, in the past few days, there will definitely be other relatives and friends who will bring their children to pay New Year's greetings, so you can't give it so indiscriminately." ”
"Yes, I've thought it all through. Lin Su said, pushing her mother out: "Let's go and help, hide here as if discussing bad things." ”
"Don't fool me, how much do you think?"
"100," Lin Su said, "It will be the same in the future." ”
"Or dollars?"
"Hmm. ”
"You're a loser, you're ......"
"Mom, why don't you go and tell him and pay less money for the New Year?"
The two turned to the kitchen door, and Mother Lin heard her daughter do this, and gently pushed her to prevent her from entering the door: "Go and go, don't make trouble anymore, I'm upset when I see you." ”
Knowing that her mother was tired for fear of pregnancy, Lin Su did not refuse, and turned around and walked to the main house.
After greeting a few men who were chatting with his grandfather and father's generation in the main house, Lin Su followed the voice and came to the next door.
Chess is being played here.
The two sides of the game are Simon and Lin Lan's husband Qin Yusong, and there is also a group of young people around him, including Lin Su's two younger brothers.
When everyone saw Lin Su coming, they all got out of the way.
Seeing Lin Lan lying on her husband's back, pointing at the chessboard on the table, Lin Su also naturally stood behind the man's side, but she was not as intimate as Xiaomei and her husband, just a hand on the man's shoulder.
Look at the board.
The game has begun to wrap up.
Lin Su could see at a glance that his brother-in-law and little sister seemed to be working together to win Simon, but in fact, they were releasing water together.
Both are human spirits.
Of course, he won't debunk it, and it is estimated that his man also understands it in his heart, so he also started to work on the side, and was accused by Lin Lan of bad rules, so the atmosphere in the room became more lively and warm.
And so on until it gets dark.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was ready, a large family divided into several tables to fill the hall, and the TV was warming up for the upcoming Spring Festival Gala, this long-lost feeling of familiarity and strangeness mixed together made Simon almost burst into tears. It's a little regrettable that the sound of firecrackers is missing.
Unexpectedly, Hangzhou began to ban firecrackers in the nineties.
However, when Simon pretended to be curious to mention why he couldn't hear the sound of firecrackers for the Chinese New Year, there was soon the sound of firecrackers.
And so it was complete.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, a large family began to greet each other, but mainly Lin Su and Simon, first to Lin Su's grandparents, then Lin's father and mother, and then four uncles and aunts, privately reminded by Lin Su, after Simon received the red envelope, decisively changed his words, others were still a little reserved, when he was called father-in-law, Father Lin's eyes who drank more wine again almost smiled.
Finally, the juniors came forward to pay New Year's greetings.
Lin Su sent thick red envelopes one by one, which made Lin Lan's eyes red, and finally shouted that her sister and brother-in-law also grabbed one. probably quietly checked the red envelopes, and then the New Year's Eve made the atmosphere more warm and harmonious.
Well.
Still a bit of a slightly discordant vignette.
The problem is in the Spring Festival Gala.
When Uncle Benshan's "Red Sorghum Model Team" debuted, Mr. Fan used to be a line that should have been 'like world supermodel Cindy Crawford', but in recent months, the names of Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei have been known all over the country, and the two girls also appeared in the VIP seat offstage, getting a close-up.
Of course, it is impossible for the Lin family to know what is going on with Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei, and of course it is impossible for Lin Su not to know, so Simon was pinched by Lin Su, who was next to him like a cat, very resentful, and of course, it was also very lethal.
