Knowing nothing about the business war in Huacheng, Shui Qing returned home from her honeymoon with a completely different mood.
If nothing else, let’s just say that in this era, travel is still a very new word.
At this time, there were generally only two reasons why people could leave their place of residence and go to other places.
Either a separated couple goes to visit relatives, or a person with a special status goes on a business trip.
Most people rarely get this opportunity.
So people at that time were always full of longing and yearning for traveling far away.
Once the opportunity came, I was very excited.
Before going out, I must have been thinking about it for a long time.
After this is over, go somewhere to have fun, go somewhere to buy something, anyway, it’s a matter of both public and private matters.
But that being said, when someone really goes out, they often start to suffer.
It is difficult to queue up to buy tickets, get stuck in traffic jams, fight for seats, go to the toilet, find hotels, eat, and have to carry things for relatives and friends.
From beginning to end, there is nothing to worry about.
This is true to the old saying, it is good to be at home for a thousand days, but it is difficult to go out for a while.
To be honest, as long as people who have traveled far away in this era, the real taste is more bitter than happy.
Apart from being able to bring back a few photos with historical monuments, the other rewards are probably just exhaustion.
So once most people experience this kind of experience, not only are they no longer willing to travel far away easily, but they are also particularly considerate of the purchasers in their units.
At least in their hearts they have to admit that this job of running errands and earning a living is really not that easy to do.
There is no way to just sit back and enjoy the success. You must have two brushes, otherwise you will not be able to cope with the various difficulties along the way.
Because of this, looking back at the trip to the Flower City of Hong Yanwu and his family of three, it was truly a trip to paradise that far exceeded the limitations of this era.
In these eight days, Shui Qing and Shui Xiaoying ate well, lived well, played well, and flew in and out.
Not only did I broaden my horizons and increase my knowledge, but I also fully experienced the real southern Cantonese style under the arrangement of "Ahua".
This kind of tourism is so nourishing that even Hong Kong businessmen would envy it.
Even though today’s tourism industry has become segmented, no matter how VIP treatment is, it can’t compare.
So, when Shui Qing and Xiaoying left Huacheng, they were still reluctant to leave.
Not only did I not feel tired at all, but I also had plenty of time to chat with my family.
For example, on the day I returned to Beijing, I visited the Hong family’s parents at noon and had dinner at the Shui family in the evening.
Shui Qing and Xiaoying started talking to their family members.
The endless travel stories are quite fun to talk about.
Soon, Shui Gengsheng, Mr. and Mrs. Shui Lian opened their eyes wide and kept asking questions.
It was just Shui Lan who was pretending to be strong and unwilling to show surprise.
But her listening with open ears and the envy in her eyes still betrayed her true feelings.
And don’t forget, Hong Yanwu spent the last two days shopping.
One box for the Hong family, one box for the Shui family, and one box for relatives and friends, that’s three big boxes.
There were so many things to bring, that the things and luggage bought for Shui Qing had to be entrusted to "Ahua" for help, and they were checked in separately and brought back, so they couldn't get them at all.
You can imagine the effect of opening a big suitcase at Shui's house and seeing it full of gifts.
It really dazzled the eyes of the Shui family.
It stands to reason that according to the old Beijing style, no matter who is going to give the gift, no matter how good the gift is, you have to wait until the person who gave it has left before opening it, even if it is your own uncle.
Thank you and put it aside, remaining reserved.
This is not only polite, but also a kind of demeanor, and it is the right thing to do.
You can't be like Westerners, who open the gifts in front of the guests, praise them, compare them, and pretend to be surprised as if they have never seen them before.
But this time, the Shui family couldn't hold back any longer. Everyone from the oldest to the youngest couldn't help but gather around.
After taking their own things from Shui Qing one by one, no matter they were talking to themselves or others, they all praised them with smiles on their faces.
Even Shui Lan is the same.
Notwithstanding her disdain for Hong Yanwu, she has always been a bit disdainful of the nouveau riche.
But this gift is something she absolutely cannot refuse.
Since the day they got engaged, she was deeply envious of the gold jewelry the Hong family gave Shui Qing.
She had already made plans in her mind to save up her salary to buy jewelry.
But she never expected that when her sister came back this time, in addition to some imported cosmetics, she would also take the initiative to give her a gold necklace.
That is a Hong Kong product, much better than domestic styles.
I heard from Shui Qing that Hong Yanwu asked a friend to get it.
Although she no longer wanted to see Hong Yanwu, her brother-in-law, for the sake of the coveted gold necklace, she had to give him a smile and say thank you.
Of course, in this situation, the happiest among all people is Shui Qing.
Because her biggest characteristic is that she often puts her relatives and friends around her more important than herself.
The opposite is also true. If the people she cares about can be happy, the happiness for her will be far greater than her own happiness.
For this reason, she looked at Hong Yanwu quite excitedly, and took the initiative to hold his hand from under the table, expressing her gratitude in her own way.
She knows deeply that she cannot do all this with her salary, and it all depends on her capable husband.
Actually, Shui Qing is not the only one who understands this. Even Shui Gengsheng, an old couple, is not confused this time.
This is what the old couple whispered when they went to bed that night.
"Dad, what do you think of this uncle? He seems to be a caring person for bringing so many things back, and he doesn't seem to take us seriously. I feel a heavy breath in my chest right now. It's slowly getting better. Why do you think this kid didn't bully our Qing'er on the day he left? Maybe...we just misunderstood?"
"Well, I also think something is fishy. If he really bullied Qing'er, how could our daughter still be so aggressive towards him? Hey, it's a shame I didn't mention it today, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing. That's still true, right? , no one can figure out what happened between the couple, and they were fighting at the end of the bed. Even my parents couldn't get involved. I can only wait and see what happens next. He is a bear, not a dragon."
"See what you said? You're so tired and crooked. You drank too much and your brain is confused again, right? Can a bear be better than a dragon?"
"Hey, you ladies are ignorant. If you are looking for me, you would rather look for a bear than a dragon. The bear looks cowardly, but he has a good temper and is obedient to his wife. You want to find a dragon to look after you. He's very capable, but he's also very temperamental. You have to obey him everywhere and stare at him when you're unhappy. What's the point of living on tenterhooks?"
"What you said makes sense. Hey... So are you a bear? Are you a dragon? Ah, I suddenly realized that you are not very capable, but you have quite a temper. You have been angry with me all your life. Written by Xiong. It’s about dragon’s temper. Why am I so unlucky?”
"Hey, are you deliberately trying to get rid of me? Isn't it time that your parents valued my integrity and good craftsmanship? To be honest, after the liberation of the capital, did I starve you? Now Can you enjoy this blessing? I'm sorry for you. You've been a girl for three consecutive lives. If you really want to marry a rickshaw driver, you will now be a three-wheeler driver and have to wash your stinking sweat every day. Socks will smoke you to death..."
"Oh, you will remember these sesame seeds and rotten millet for the rest of your life. Are you going to let the children hear the joke? Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to argue with you, so I'll sleep with you..."
