"Dongzi, hurry up and put the tomatoes on, your grandma likes to eat it the most, don't forget."

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the traditional day of returning to his parents' home, which has not changed for hundreds of years. Early in the morning, Lu Xiumei began to direct Li's father and Li Dong to pack their luggage, eager to move all the good things at home back to their parents' house.

In this regard, Li Dong could only smile bitterly, he understood A-Niang's current mood very well. Back then, under the pressure of the whole family, Lu Xiuyi married Li's father without hesitation. Although she has no regrets, she must have held back a fire in her heart, and she wants to prove to everyone that her choice of Lu Xiumei was not wrong.

Today is the highest opportunity for her to prove, although this honor was not brought to her by Li's father, but her own son is not bad, not to mention that there is also her own contribution in it. Wealth does not return to her hometown like a brocade dress at night, she has been looking forward to this day for a long time, she wants to silence those who have laughed at her, she wants to make them envious, jealous and hateful.

"Auntie, why didn't you wear that necklace?"

Li Dong kindly reminded that since A-Niang wants to show off, let her show off thoroughly. That day, the gold necklace, Lu Xiumei was usually very precious, and she was reluctant to wear it, for fear of losing it.

"Eh, I almost forgot, your grandma hasn't seen it yet, I'm going to wear it back and show her." Lu Xiumei insisted on finding a far-fetched reason, and Li Dong could only give a thumbs up.

"By the way, do you want to buy a gift for grandpa? After all, last time my grandfather had a big birthday, my aunt gave me a gold ring. Li Dong watched Ah Niang busy with this and that, but he didn't grasp the point, and then he showed off just like this, how could it compare to the "mobile light source" worn on his body.

When Lu Xiumei heard this, she was silent, and her face struggled a little. She has a good face, but after all, she is used to living a hard life, and she has scruples about this kind of large consumption for a while.

"A-Niang, you think, you're going to have two stores soon, and this money is drizzling." Li Dong's persuasion was very humorous.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Lu Xiumei said, "Longyan Dayue", think about it, after so many years, she has not done her best for her parents, and this time it should be regarded as a supplement. Besides, the little sister can squeeze herself enough last time, isn't it just a gold ring, it's still 18K, thin and light, this time I want her to open her eyes.

"Okay, Dongzi, you will accompany your mother to pick out two pieces of jewelry later, and you must compare your aunt."

"Order." Li Dong saluted a funny military salute.

When Lu Xiumei went back this time, naturally the whole family went out together, including her cousin Lu Ling. My cousin has been away from home for a month, and I have to go back to see what I say, and things can't always drag on like this.

The day before yesterday, Lu Ling received her first month's salary, and since it was the end of the year, her aunt also gave her a year-end bonus of 100 yuan, although she only worked for one month.

Lu Ling didn't touch a penny of this money, this is a habit she developed after work, every time she pays her salary, she will first hand over her salary to A-Niang, and then A-Niang will give her a little pocket money, usually 10 yuan.

The aunt said that she was dead and didn't know how to plan for herself. In fact, she also wants to be kind to herself, but her family has a large population and a high pressure on her life, as the eldest daughter, she can only take on more responsibilities than others. And she was afraid that she would never be able to hold back in the future, she was afraid that she was not as strong as she imagined.

"Madam, look at this jade bracelet, it is crystal clear, very suitable for the elderly."

"I don't know about jade, whether there is gold jewelry or not." Lu Xiumei is not a vassal and elegant person, she only has gold in her eyes.

"Well, how about you look at this gold bracelet, it is full of materials and retro style, it should meet your requirements."

Lu Xiumei took it and looked at it, it was really good, it was heavier than her own necklace, if she wasn't reluctant to spend money, she would also want to buy one.

"How much is that, and is your store discounted?"

"Of course, our store can give you a nine-percent discount, the original price is 512 yuan, and after the discount, we will erase the change for you, only 460 yuan."

"Can I get another discount on two pieces of jewelry?" Lu Xiumei asked without giving up, it was still a little expensive.

"Madam, as long as you spend more than 1,000 yuan, we can give you a one-time discount of 20%."

In the end, Lu Xiumei bought a gold bracelet and a gold-plated watch for 820 yuan. Lu Ling was stunned, the trench, it was really too much. Although Father Li was surprised, he did not object, his wife has suffered with him for so many years, let her be generous once.

"Grandpa, we're here."

"Yo, it's grandma's little baby, it's cute again." Grandma picked up the little girl.

"A-Niang, Lu Ling is also back, how do you think this matter can be solved?" Lu Xiumei asked with a bitter face, since ancient times, it was difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, and she was not too involved.

"You don't care, let them make trouble, and it'll be solved when it's over." Grandma had an expression of hatred that iron could not be made of steel, but this incident made her lose her old face.

"What kind of line is this, don't you know, Dongzi will open a branch in the future, and you are counting on Lu Ling to help."

"What is the branch? Tell me more about it. Grandma said curiously, you know, it's not been a few months, why is it going to open a branch.

So Lu Xiumei introduced Lu Ling's situation to A-Niang, said it in detail, and also revealed the news that Li Dong was going to set up a company, of course, the point was to show that she was the boss, and she would not treat her niece badly.

"Grandma, I want to stay at my aunt's house to work, you can help me persuade my father." Lu Ling came over when she heard the news, stood aside and begged.

"This is a good thing, don't worry, grandma will go to your father to talk about it." As soon as the grandmother heard it, she knew that her granddaughter's job was very promising, so there was no reason not to agree.

I don't know what grandma said to my uncle, anyway, after a while, the father and daughter were reconciled as before, and the aunt also took Auntie's hand and thanked her vigorously. Even the eldest uncle repeatedly told the eldest sister to take good care of Lu Ling, of course Lu Xiumei agreed, and promised to give her eldest niece a promotion and salary increase in the future, which is quite bossy.

The morning passed like this, and soon it was time for lunch. The banquet opened two tables, one for adults and one for children, and Li Dong was also a celebrity, and he was pulled over by his uncle.

There were a lot of people sitting at this table, in addition to their own family, there were also three uncles, aunts and brothers-in-law. Grandma's maiden family also has a junior, who is a nephew of grandma.

"Eldest sister, where did you buy this chain, it cost a lot of money, right?" The aunt's eyes were sharp, and she saw the gold necklace around A-Niang's neck.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, this is a birthday gift from my family's son. You say I'm this old, what kind of birthday do I have, it's a waste of money. Lu Xiumei smiled brightly, but the words she said were very bad.

Auntie: "......"

"Eh, if you don't say I'll forget."

In fact, she had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and after speaking, she took out two jewelry boxes, handed the larger one to her grandfather, and the smaller one to her grandmother.

"For so many years, I haven't bought anything for my parents, I just made some money, so I bought some gifts, and it's not any valuables, don't dislike it."

Li Dong secretly gave A-Niang a thumbs up, and took over: "Grandpa, open it up and take a look, this can be carefully selected by my mother, I don't know if you like it or not?" ”

Grandpa and grandfather glanced at each other, and they knew the eldest daughter's personality best. Looking at the box in his hand, it is worth a lot of money. Facing everyone's curious eyes, the two carefully opened the jewelry box.

"Wow, such a big gold bracelet, eldest sister, you are really rich." There was a sour smell in my aunt's voice.

"Is this a gold watch? That's worth a lot of money. "My uncle has been a security guard in a jewelry store, so he is familiar with the aspects.

"How can it be a gold watch, just gold-plated." Lu Xiumei looked embarrassed, even Father Li couldn't stand it anymore, I'm sorry you are still smiling so happily.

In the flattery of everyone, grandpa and grandpa put on their respective gifts. Grandpa is okay, relatively low-key, and he doesn't like to show off. Grandma is hilarious, there must be a mother and a daughter, the mother and the mother praise each other, cooperate with each other, have a good meal, eat to the end, it is rare to have a lot of meals left.
