Back to 2006

Because the sixth day of the Lunar New Year is the wedding date, even though Yang Xingyu told his parents many times that the wedding was ready, his parents were still worried and insisted on going to Yang Xingyu's wedding room on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year to check for any missing items. Fixing leaks means that if you forget to prepare something, you still have time to fix it.

Yang Xingyu couldn't talk to them, so he could only drive his parents to the wedding house in the city first.

Fortunately, his parents told him about this earlier, so on the first, second, and third days of this year, he had already taken the time to pay New Year greetings to his elders, otherwise it would have been difficult to arrange the time.

When he drove into the Tianqin Bay of China World Trade Center, Yang Qingshi and Fang Xiaomei, who were sitting in the back row of the car, opened their eyes wide and looked left and right at the scenery outside the car window.

They had seen the villa area on TV, but in reality, this was their first time entering it.

Although they had long heard from their son that Zhen Xin's family had given them a villa as a wedding room, but when they actually entered the villa area today, they still had an eye-opening experience, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

“It’s so beautiful here!”

Fang Xiaomei sighed.

Yang Qingshi, who had always liked to speak out against others, unusually did not refute at this time.

Yang Xingyu was still thinking just now: When his father enters this villa area, he will probably say that planting grass in so much open space is a waste and that vegetables should be grown instead.

In his memory, after Yuan Shikong bought a house in Shanghai, his father Yang Qingshi said this when his parents entered the community where his house was located for the first time.

But today, Yang Qingshi just stared at the scenery outside the car window and said nothing.

The car stopped at the parking space in front of the villa. Yang Xingyu got out of the car and opened the door for his parents. Yang Qingshi and Fang Xiaomei got out of the car and saw several adjacent parking spaces. Fang Xiaomei asked in surprise: "Xiaoyu! So... If there are multiple parking spaces, they won’t all be yours, right?”

Yang Xingyu smiled and nodded, closed the car door, and raised his hand, "Let's go in and take a look! There's nothing interesting in the parking space."

With that said, he walked to the villa door first.

Fang Xiaomei said: "Xiaoyu! Luggage! Your dad's and mine's luggage are still in the car! Open the butt door!"

Yang Xingyu thought of this, walked back with a smile, opened the trunk door, and took out a suitcase and two plastic bags from inside.

The plastic bags contained his parents’ shoes.

Yang Qingshi stepped forward and took the two plastic bags, and then the family of three walked towards the villa gate.

Yang Xingyu walked very fast, but Yang Qingshi and Fang Xiaomei walked very slowly, because as they walked, they looked up at the appearance of the villa.

Yang Xingyu could hear the whispered exchanges between his parents behind him.

Fang Xiaomei: "The villa is so grand! The houses in our village are much more beautiful."

Yang Qingshi: "It's beautiful, but it's really putting money on the wall! Look at the stones on the wall, which one is free? And the flowers and plants planted next to it are definitely not cheap."

Fang Xiaomei: "How else would we call it a villa?"

Yang Qingshi: "The girl's family can marry into such a villa. I'm a little afraid that Xiaoyu will not be able to straighten up with the girl in the future! What kind of character do I have? I know that Xiaoyu is just like me, deep down It’s hard! I’m afraid that he will have a hard time in the future!”

When Yang Qingshi said these words, he lowered his voice very low.

But Yang Xingyu still heard it clearly.

He couldn't help but smile slightly, silently.

But he did not go back to comfort his father, because for this kind of thing, he felt that it was useless to comfort him. When he got married, his parents would naturally see his status in the family.

Although this wedding room was provided by Zhen Xin's family.

It seems that he, Yang, is suspected of being a freeloader, but...

His own net worth should be no worse than that of Zhen Xin's family now, and it will definitely far exceed her parents' financial resources in the future. Under such circumstances, how could he be unable to stand up straight at home?
From behind, my mother responded in a low voice: "Old guy! Don't say this in front of your in-laws and daughter-in-law! It's not good!"

Yang Qingshi: "I know! I'm not a pig, I'm not that stupid!"

……

Yang Xingyu opened the door of the villa and called his parents to come in.

When their parents walked into the villa door, walked around the entrance hall, and came to the villa hall, looking left and right, they were both a little stunned.

They were dazzled by the spacious hall, which was exquisitely decorated and furnished. The height of the hall was on the first floor, which made them dizzy. Fang Xiaomei subconsciously took her husband's arm, frowned and reminded: "Old guy! Our shoes are dirty, look at how clean the floor is. It’s also carpeted, don’t go inside, let’s change our shoes first!”

With that said, she turned to look at Yang Xingyu, "Xiaoyu! Do you have any shoes to change in your new house? Your dad and I will change the shoes first."

Yang Xingyu wanted to say that there was no need to change shoes.

But then I thought about it, the villa was too big, and it was really troublesome to clean it up, so I opened the shoe cabinet next to it, took out a few pairs of disposable plastic shoe covers, gave two pairs to his parents, and he also put them on his feet. Got a pair.

His parents had never used or even seen shoe covers before.

They also first watched their son how to use this thing, and then they squatted next to the shoe cabinet and put it on their feet.

While putting on shoe covers, Yang Qingshi sighed: "This living room is too big! There is enough room for boxing in it! It's just that the roof is a bit too high. With such a high roof, if the light bulb breaks in the future, ordinary ladders may not be able to reach it. ah!"

Fang Xiaomei rolled her eyes at him, "You want to worry about this? I don't want you to change the light bulb!"

Yang Qingshi glanced at her, "If you don't let me change, then I can't worry about it?"

Yang Xingyu watched his parents bickering with a smile.

This villa has three floors above ground and one underground floor.

The total area is more than 520 square meters.

Yang Xingyu took his parents upstairs and downstairs to look around such a big house, and the two of them were a little out of breath, mainly because they were tired from climbing the stairs.

First, he climbed up to the third floor, then downstairs, and then to the underground floor.

For people of their age, their bones have long been hardened and their joints are not flexible enough. Climbing stairs is the most tiring thing.

When they saw the rooms on the third floor upstairs, Yang Qingshi and Fang Xiaomei were amazed all the way. For example, they were surprised when they saw that the bathrooms on each floor upstairs were larger than their kitchen. When they saw the bright and clean study room and the large bookshelf covering the whole wall, they also opened their eyes. Yang Qingshi couldn't help but ask: "Xiaoyu! Do you and Xiaozhen have so many books? Do you need such a big bookshelf?" ?”

When she saw one bedroom after another upstairs, Fang Xiaomei couldn't help but ask: "Xiaoyu! You have so many rooms here, how many children do you plan to have with your wife? Wouldn't one or two be enough?"

Yang Qingshi answered with a smile on his face: "Then give birth to a few more! I am not afraid of having too many grandchildren, the more, the better!"

Fang Xiaomei rolled her eyes at him, "You are so thoughtful! In today's world, how many more children can you have? Have you forgotten your family planning? Do you know how much the fine will be if you have too many children?"

Yang Qingshi hesitated for a moment, then retorted with a smile: "What's the point? Our family can't afford to pay the fine now?"

Then, he turned to Yang Xingyu with a smile on his face and said: "Xiaoyu! Just give birth to the child! You don't have to worry about the fine. Your mother and I didn't help with anything in this marriage. The house, the car, everything." Your father-in-law is with you, so let me and your mother pay the fine for giving birth!"

"What if it's one or two million? Can you afford it?"

Fang Xiaomei asked back angrily.

Yang Qingshi's face changed slightly, he frowned, looked at his wife, then at his son, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Can't it be so much? It's not like giving birth to ten or eight children, so how can we get so many fines? Stealing money?"

Fang Xiaomei: "What if it really costs one or two million?"

Yang Qingshi was silent for a few seconds, then looked at Yang Xingyu, "Then let Xiaoyu give you a cushion first! When we, the old couple, earn money later, we will pay it back to Xiaoyu bit by bit! Xiaoyu, do you think this is a success?"

Yang Xingyu was so amused that he laughed.

With his current net worth, it would be extremely difficult for Planned Parenthood to bankrupt him.

At this time, when he took his parents to the underground floor for a visit.

When Yang Qingshi and Fang Xiaomei saw that in the huge space on the underground floor, not only were there a lot of fitness equipment that they had never seen before, but also a swimming pool that was more than ten meters long and several meters wide, their eyes were filled with excitement. Look straight.

"Xiaoyu! What do you think? You actually dug a pond under your house? Are you planning to raise fish here?"

Yang Qingshi couldn't help but ask.

Yang Xingyu laughed, and before he could answer, his mother Fang Xiaomei kicked Yang Qingshi and scolded: "You watched TV for nothing? What kind of pond? Who digs a pond and raises fish in the basement of the villa? It's called a swimming pool! Right? Yu? Is this called a swimming pool?”

Yang Xingyu nodded with a smile on his face.

In fact, he was very happy to see his parents so surprised because of his wedding room.

Because he must be very happy when he knows that his parents are surprised.

Yang Qingshi: "Swimming pool? A paddling place?"

They call swimming "stroke" here.

Yang Xingyu hummed.

Yang Qingshi pouted, "It's hot and I want to paddle. Let's go back to my hometown! There are rivers and fish ponds everywhere in our hometown. Where can't we paddle? We even made such a thing at home. How much water does it take to fill such a big pond? Is it full? I'm afraid the water bill will cost several hundred! If I can't help but urinate in the pool, should I change the water in such a large pool or not? If you are paddling in the water, change it! At least a few hundred yuan in water bills will be wasted. Moreover, the paddling place is under the house, and the air must be heavy. The water in the pool must be very cold. When the time comes, paddling in it Water will definitely hurt your health!”

Having said this, he looked at his son with a serious expression and warned: "So, Xiaoyu! Don't blame me for being too lenient! I advise you to get married in this pond, and you should quickly find someone to pull a few carts of dirt over. Fill it up! When you are young, you may like to swim in cold water when the weather is hot, but if you paddle in cold water too much, when you get older, your body will definitely hurt here and there. ! It will be too late for you to regret it!"

Fang Xiaomei nodded in agreement: "That's right! Xiaoyu, you have to listen to your father on this matter! Your father will not harm you!"

Yang Xingyu waited for them to finish speaking, then pointed to the two water outlets on the edge of the pool, "Dad, Mom! Don't worry so much. My swimming pool has hot and cold water. The water temperature can be adjusted. I promise you won't be in the cold water." Play here!”

He liked this swimming pool very much. He also thought that after getting married, he and Zhen Xin could play in the water and enjoy themselves when they had nothing to do.

How is it possible to find someone to fill in this swimming pool?

……

Return to the lobby on the first floor.

Yang Xingyu asked his parents who were still looking around while taking boiled water from the water dispenser and making tea.

"Mom, Dad, how big is this house? You just saw it. How about it? Do you want to move in with us?"

Fang Xiaomei subconsciously looked at her husband.

Yang Qingshi shook his head without thinking, "Forget it! Our family didn't buy this house. After all, it was your husband's house. Logically speaking, even if you want to move in, it will be your father-in-law and mother-in-law who move in. So Your mother and I didn’t spend a penny to move into this big house. No way!”

While talking, Yang Qingshi waved his hands repeatedly.

Fang Xiaomei nodded in agreement: "Yes! Xiaoyu, your dad is right. After all, our family didn't buy this house, so your dad and I won't come! Besides, our home in our hometown was just built last year. Your dad and I can’t live in such a big new house. It’s already very good, so we won’t live here unless you and Xiao Zhen have a baby in the future. If you two don’t have time to take care of the child, and if your mother-in-law doesn’t want to come and take care of it, then I will come and help you take care of the child. After all, the child is from our Lao Yang family, right?”

Yang Xingyu nodded slightly.

He handed the cup of tea he had just made to his father and continued to make a second cup.

"That's okay. There are not many people living in this villa area, and the neighbors are not as easy to get along with as the people in the village. I estimate that you will probably not get used to living here, so I'll leave it to you! Anyway, if anything happens, I'll drive back. It won’t take long, it’s convenient for you to come to my place.”

When he returned to the original time and space, he knew that his parents disliked city life.

In the original time and space, he had repeatedly persuaded his parents to move to the Magic City and live with him so that he could fulfill his filial piety.

But no matter how much he tried to persuade him, his parents were unwilling to live with him.

I still remember that when he took his parents to see his new house for the first time after buying a house in Shanghai, his parents were sitting in the car. Not long after the car entered the city, his father sighed as he looked out the car window at the densely packed high-rise buildings. : "There are so many and high buildings here. When you look up, you can only see the sky as big as your palm. Is this a place for people? Why do so many people want to come here?"

My mother said: "There are too many cars and too many intersections here. If I go out alone, I will definitely get lost and I may not be able to find my way home."

Of course, the tall buildings and vehicles in Shanshui City are not as tall or as numerous as in the Magic City of the original time and space.

But for an old couple who are illiterate and have lived in the countryside for most of their lives, living in this city will definitely be uncomfortable.

And this is why Yang Xingyu decided to rebuild a new house in his hometown last year.

That house was newly built for his parents to provide for their retirement. (End of chapter)
