388 The old lady's decision
The marriage between the Fang family and the Wang family was also a sensation at that time, and it was rumored to be a good story.
So for the eldest cousin Wang Ruolan, although her appearance is unsatisfactory, under the shroud of a solid and huge family background, she can marry well.
Wang Yaru held her son in her left hand and her daughter-in-law in her right hand, and the three of them came to Mrs. Fang together. Mrs. Fang gave up a seat to her three daughters, and she looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang's bulging belly with joy in her eyes.
In fact, Zhang Xiaoqiang was already hungry, and because of the presence of so many people, she endured it desperately.
Old Madam Fang still saw her uncomfortable expression, and whispered a few words to a person beside her with a smile.
After a while, the man brought a cup of soup. Old Mrs. Fang personally handed it to this granddaughter-in-law and asked her to drink it. Suddenly, the daughters, sons-in-law, and granddaughters sitting around them began to fire in their eyes.
It's incredible that a pregnant country girl with no apparent origin has such a high status at home.
Zhang Xiaoqiang was a little embarrassed to drink in front of everyone, she looked at everyone, and Mrs. Fang said, "Drink, you are three people now, don't starve my great-grandson." The dinner will start in a moment, so you can drink some of it now. ”
didn't care about it so much, Zhang Xiaoqiang drank it in small sips, it was really delicious. She wanted to drink another bowl, but held back. Li Aobai was distressed watching from the sidelines, he knew that his daughter-in-law must be hungry.
Finally, the dinner began.
Of course, Mrs. Fang was seated. followed by Fang Zhonglei, Li Aobai, Wang Yaru, Zhang Xiaoqiang, and then several other family members.
No one dared to have an objection. I don't like to smile on my face anymore, even if it's anger like fire in my heart.
After the banquet, Wang Yaru and Li Aobai were all serving vegetables for Zhang Xiaoqiang at the same time.
these dishes. Zhang Xiaoqiang has never seen any of them, and she doesn't know how to put chopsticks at all. She could only pick up some that looked like she could eat to her mouth, and this one was a little uncontrollable.
The nutrition and food of the three people together, her method made the people present cover their mouths and laugh.
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked embarrassed.
Wang Yaru whispered: "Xiaoqiang, eat, it's okay." It's also your own home, and you don't care about anyone else. ”
At this time, Mrs. Fang said solemnly: "Today is a good day for Ruoxin to get engaged. Everybody's here, and I'm just about to make an announcement. Li Aobai, he has officially become a member of our family, and I am going to take my grandson and granddaughter-in-law home. Azusa Qin. I'm also going to buy a bigger house. To my great-grandson, you can do it. ”
Fang Ziqin wanted to express her wishes, but before she could say it, she was preempted by Fang Zilin and Fang Zisu. Fang Zisu said: "Mom, the current situation is not suitable for buying a house. Our family has so many properties, can't you just pick a set for him? ”
Old Madam Fang threw her chopsticks on the table, her expression a little angry.
Fang Zhonglei said to his mother: "Mom." Aobai lives in a good place now, so I don't need to buy another one. ”
Wang Yaru said: "I have already bought the place where Aobai lives now. With my own money, it would be her old man's wish if my mother bought another one. The fourth generation of our Fang family will definitely live better. ”
Old Madam Fang nodded and said, "The three of you sisters and concubines are all living in a new house when they get married, and they are all considered to be my dowry." My poor grandson, who has suffered outside for so many years, and now that he has finally returned, should I have to ask your permission to give me a house? Zilin, I'll leave it to you. ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang said to the old lady: "Grandma, we understand your kindness. It's just that the place where we live is really nice and my two younger brothers also go to school there. ”
Old Madam Fang thought for a while and said, "I gave it to my great-grandson, buy it first, and you can live there at any time when you want to." Do you have two younger brothers? ”
Fang Zhonglei said: "Mom, Xiaoqiang's younger brother has been living with Aobai's family, one is in elementary school, and the other is only in the first year of junior high school. ”
Fang Zilin said: "Oh my God, there are two more oil bottles. Big nephew, you have worked hard, how much money can a soldier make? ”
Fang Zisu said: "Second sister is right, otherwise it would be like this, you follow me to do business." Look at your talent, what kind of soldier should you be? ”
Li Aobai was a little unhappy, and his whole face sank.
Old Madam Fang said, "Susu, don't make your own claims. If you want to do business, you don't have to follow you. Just take over our property directly, and I'll ask one to teach him. Sooner or later, these businesses of our family will have to be handed over to him to take care of. Your younger brother Zhonglei is a dead brain, and he wants to be a soldier to the end, and this burden can only fall on Aobai's body. ”
Li Aobai stood up abruptly and said, "Grandma, I still like to be a soldier." I don't want to do any business! ”
Wang Yaru pulled his son's clothes and motioned for him to sit down.
In Wang Yaru's heart, she has a selfish idea of letting her son give up being a soldier and take over the family's business. Because her husband has been a soldier for half his life, she doesn't want her son to repeat this path.
It is not easy to be a soldier in war years, and it is also true in peace years.
If the son can enter the business world, coupled with the support of his daughter-in-law Zhang Xiaoqiang, he will definitely achieve something.
Fang Zhonglei felt that it would be better for his son to decide this matter, since his mother proposed it in public, she would definitely prepare carefully in this regard.
Old Madam Fang looked at her grandson with a smile on her face, and she said, "Aobai, you are a member of the Fang family, and you have a very heavy mission on your shoulders. The number of soldiers in the country is unknown, but you are the only grandson of the Fang family. Everyone has a mission and responsibility given by God, and your responsibility is the business and family business of the Fang family. ”
Li Aobai looked at the Fang family sisters, cousins and cousins present, and said, "Grandma, isn't there an aunt in the Fang family's business?" ”
Mrs. Fang said: "They are very capable, but they are not from the Fang family. For so many years, your father has never asked about the family's affairs, and finally looked forward to you, you have the best genes of the Fang family, so handing it over to you is the best explanation for the ancestors of the other family! That's what your grandfather meant, pick a day, and I'll take you to the grave. Xiaoqiang, if you are pregnant, don't go. ”
Li Aobai didn't know what to say. Life in the army has always been decent, and his gestures are like a soldier.
There really came a day when he was no longer in the army, and he didn't know what he would do or what kind of life he would have. He didn't want to think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it. From the moment I stepped into the army, I never thought about leaving one day.
Every year, veterans are demobilized, and every time they are sent away, everyone has tears in their eyes. (To be continued.) )
