marriage is natural

Chapter 673
Not long after New Year's Day, Hemu received a large package from London, which was brought by her daughter Tuo Hexin.

When you take it apart, you can see that there are all foreign letters on the label, and you can only recognize a few Arabic numerals.

Hemu looked at one of the short jacket-style down jackets. The number on the label was 258. When she was standing in front of the full-length mirror for a test, she said to Hefu, "258 yuan is quite cheap. I went to the department store with Huixiang last Sunday." I bought New Year’s goods in the building, and I saw no down jackets at the counter for less than 800 yuan. It seems that it is cheaper abroad. Look at the quality of the clothes, how crisp, there is no thread, and the zipper is very easy to use. It is better than those on the counter. A thousand yuan looks good..."

Father He looked at the label and said, "I think you're getting confused again. The price over there is not the banknote we use here, but what is it called pound sterling? Didn't Dongzi mention it when he came back from the last trip? At least seven or eight times the price. Don’t think about your clothes, if you don’t have two thousand.”

Hemu paused for a while as she touched her clothes, and gritted her teeth in distress: "A prodigal daughter..."

Not only Hemu had new clothes, but Hefu and He Chifeng also had new clothes.Xu Huixiang wore a long, slim down jacket, while He Chifeng, like Father He, wore a leather jacket with a down lining.It can be used as a winter coat, and can be worn in spring and autumn without the liner.

I bought waterproof and windproof cowhide warm shoes for several elderly people. They are mid-cut, comfortable and warm to wear when going out in snowy weather.For Mr. He and the second elder of the Xu family, He Wei asked his elder brother in Kyoto to help deliver them.The four old people from my hometown asked Hexin to bring back the presents so that her mother could send them along during the New Year's Eve.

Other relatives and friends are either purses, wallets, or hand creams, lipsticks and other souvenirs.

In short, everyone has a share, from the elderly to the children.

Hemu carefully added the amount to the label, and the amount she got made her want to scold the prodigal in her daughter's ear.

Calculating the time, it should be around noon in London, and it is another day of rest, which will not affect the daughter's class, so the mother took He's father's mobile phone with international functions activated, dialed the daughter's phone, and read aloud: " You bloody little girl! Too much money to burn, right? Buy us such expensive things! And buy so much..."

It wasn't long after He Wei had breakfast in that room, and Mr. He and Mr. He were sitting side by side in the yard basking in the sun and reading a book in a wicker chair with a backrest. The atmosphere was not too good.

Of course, someone was actually eating his wife's tofu under the guise of flipping through a magazine.

When He Wei received a call from He Mu, sweat dripped from He Wei's forehead. Her mother's temper is really getting hotter and hotter.Quickly explained: "Mom, the price on the label doesn't count. When I bought it, it was discounted. Many of them were only [-]% off. The leather jackets of Dad and Godfather are a little more expensive, but the clothes are durable. No? If you take good care of it, it will look like new after ten years. You and your godmother’s down jacket is less than half the price. It’s cheap, and I wouldn’t buy it if it wasn’t cheap, right? Don’t believe me. Come on, I'll find the invoice and send you a photo."

As she spoke, she tapped and ran back to the living room to look for an invoice, wearing plush slippers.

But for a while, she couldn't remember where she threw the invoices for the big shopping shopping at Christmas, and in the end He Qingdong dug them out for her from the small drawer under the coffee table.

He Wei took a marker pen and wrote down the price of Ruanmei Coin corresponding to the goods one by one, and then took a photo and sent it to her mother.

After Hemu saw it, she really stopped thinking about this matter, but she still muttered a few words: "You are outside, and there are many places to spend money. Don't keep thinking about us. Your brother did the same last time. Come back. Just come back, bring back a lot of foreign specialties, such as milk tea, milk cakes, caramel cakes... I don’t think it’s better than the soy milk and shortbread sold at the biscuit stall opposite our house. Don’t waste money next time Money, huh? It’s all a waste of money! If you have money, it’s better to put it in the account and use it for marriage in the future. Don’t think that everything is gone after getting engaged. Let me tell you that there are many follow-up things, such as getting married, having a baby, Maternity, a full moon, a hundred days... It doesn’t cost money. I’m not talking about you. Ah Qing’s grandfather paid for your wedding house. It’s not easy enough. If you want to change to a bigger house in the future, you have to Make up your own mind, don't keep staring at Ah Qing's house going here and there..."

He Mu snapped her fingers and talked vigorously. He Qingdong, the hairy son-in-law pressed against his daughter-in-law's cheek, was happy to hear it. Save it, don’t spend it indiscriminately.”

The mother-in-law choked, forgetting that the hairy-footed son-in-law jumped to London to find a wife after he was discharged from the hospital, really...

Quickly recall, you didn't say anything inappropriate just now, did you?

Desperately winking at Father He, asking him to help remember.

Father He shook his head at her, implying that he didn't say anything hurtful, so Mother He heaved a sigh of relief, and went on to chat with the hairy-footed son-in-law, inevitably concerned about his leg injury.

After hanging up the phone, we wiped sweat from both sides.

It's rare to see a man talking on the phone until beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and He Wei collapsed on the sofa laughing.

"Unconscionable girl!" He Qingdong wiped his face with a tissue, threw the ball into the trash can, turned around and pressed Xiao Nizi.

What He Wei was most afraid of was itching, and when he scratched her in twos and twos, she couldn't catch her breath from laughing, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Only then did Young Master He stop, leaning lazily on the back of the sofa, embracing his daughter-in-law and following her back, he suggested, "Why don't you bring your parents here to spend the Chinese New Year?"

It's not that He Wei hasn't thought about it before, and her parents' passports have already been obtained earlier, so it shouldn't be difficult to get a tourist visa.But last year, their family went to the island to celebrate the New Year and did not return to their hometown. If they come to London again this year, it is difficult to guarantee that their relatives in their hometown will have opinions.Anyway, grandparents are still alive, how can there be people who don’t go back for a reunion on New Year’s Eve, or run out of the country?
"Forget it, I don't want to mention it. It will embarrass my parents. It's better to invite them to come and play for a few days before we go back. Time to go back together."

"Alright." He Qingdong naturally followed his wife's wishes.Originally, he was also afraid that his wife would be homesick, but since his wife had other plans, he was happy, and the world of the two continued to move on!
On that side, the He family couple were also chatting about the Chinese New Year.

"Have you asked Dongzi how much it is for a trip to London?" The mother-in-law collected a large box of gifts brought by her daughter, sorted them, and began to make the bed and prepare for bed.

Father He watched the TV news and said casually: "I asked, it will cost about twenty to thirty thousand."

"one person?"

"Huh? Oh, probably."

"What's the general idea! You can't even ask me a question, so I'll come next time."

Father He looked away from the TV, looked helplessly at his daughter-in-law and said, "If you really want to go, does it matter how much it is? It's not like our family can't afford the money. We've been chasing Dongzi and asking too many questions, so we don't have to let him go." I think I want him to pay for it."

"How much money does the brat have in his pocket? Even if he takes the money, what we save will be saved for him to do things in the future." When it comes to the lifelong event of the younger generation, He Mu gets excited again and talks to her husband. and asked mysteriously, "Hey, have you noticed that Xinxin is much more cheerful than before when he came back this trip? I heard from my second sister-in-law that he has a date. The date is Weiwei's high school classmate. The relationship is also strong now." Quite, it is said that we met Xinxin through Weiwei's introduction. So, our daughter is still their matchmaker..."

Father He smiled naively: "Our girl has many matchmakers, and it's not just Xinxin."

Hemu couldn't help being happy too: "That's right, I don't know if I don't count, but if I count, several pairs are all drawn by her." Then she sighed, "Xinxin is like this, the second child and the others are finally at ease. Now I am worried about our family. Brat, he is about to graduate and look for a job, and I haven't heard him mention any girl he is close to..."

Father He twitched his mouth: "You have too many things to worry about. It's still more than half a year before graduation, and it won't be too late to talk about finding a partner when the job is stable. What if you are admitted to a graduate school like Xinxin? Don’t talk about your partner when you’re studying, isn’t that what you said? Now I’m disgusted with your son... the bed is ready and go to sleep, isn’t it going to be a New Year’s gift to your mother’s house tomorrow? Go to bed early and get up early, go early and return early.”

He Mu thought about it too. After tidying up, she turned off the lights and lay down.

When the new year comes, the days get busy.

He Wei doesn't feel that obvious in London, because for foreigners, Christmas is their New Year, and the Spring Festival is similar to the first month in China. Although there is still a sense of festive joy, even though the places where Chinese people live are also very prosperous, but after all Not as lively as during Christmas.

But it's different in China. The Spring Festival and Spring Festival are important days to get rid of the old and welcome the new.As long as there are no special circumstances, the family will sit around and eat a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

Hemu ran to her mother's house a few years ago with a bunch of New Year's goods in the trunk.

In addition to the warm shoes that the daughter bought for the second elder, there are also six gifts for the couple.

From several times, I discovered that the electric blanket given to the elder brother was spread on the big bed of the sister-in-law’s house, saying that the younger sister-in-law needed to keep warm after giving birth to a second child; ...Hemu has also learned to be smart, and she will give whatever the other families give, neither exceeding nor falling behind.The two kinds of fruits are apples and oranges; the two kinds of dim sum are rice cakes and steamed cakes;

Put it in the trunk and pulled down Meilongqiao's natal family.

By chance, I bumped into my sister-in-law Cai Mingzhu, who came out for a walk after breakfast with her baby, and saw the couple of He family coming to present the new year gift, so they came over with great interest, their triangular eyes rolled around, and after clearing the six gifts, their faces floated. With a hint of obvious disappointment, he said, "Hey, the second sister is here to deliver New Year's goods? I don't know what good things will be honored to my parents this year?"

He Mu smiled: "What else can I have, the sixth one. My father and mother have bad teeth, and after much deliberation, I couldn't think of anything to buy for them to eat well, so I picked some long-lasting ones and ate them slowly. It won't be bad if you eat it until the beginning of spring."

Speaking of this, she paused, glanced at the sister-in-law who was secretly slandering with a smile, and said, "Our Weiwei, on the other hand, never forgets to bring gifts to everyone when she is abroad. I will share them with you when I enter the house."

As soon as she heard that there was a gift, Cai Mingzhu immediately turned around and didn't go out. She led her son and followed He Mu to the main room.What a turn to take, what should I do if all the gifts from abroad have been snatched up!
The mother of the mother put the gifts brought by her daughter on the big table one by one, and introduced them to everyone: "These are shoes for my father and mother. The outer layer is cowhide and the inner layer is short plush. It is easy to wear when going out in the snow. Yes. I have worn it, and the size is accurate. My mother and father must be easy to wear... These are small schoolbags and stationery for Yangyang. Yangyang will go to elementary school next year, right? Our family Weiwei is thinking about it, so good Learn, your aunt brought it for you from abroad... These are belts and wallets for brother-in-law, A Bin, and Lao He also has a pair, so I use them as soon as I get them. Be careful, especially your wallet, don't let someone steal it away... These are skin care products for big sisters and sisters, and hand cream and lip balm for Yanyan and Jiaojiao... ..."

I heard that my cousin who went to London brought New Year's gifts to the big guys. Zhang Yan, who was too lazy to go out, followed Zhou Caifen back to her grandmother's house, but holding the hand cream and lip balm gift box in her hand, she pouted. Mouth, this is too different from imagination.I thought it was a good gift, two small things for half a day.

"Why don't you give me a bag, a leather bag like my dad's brand is fine. I don't have hand cream."

He Mu gasped in anger.My heart said that you are a cousin, when did you give your cousin a gift?Looking at the good deeds you have done, it would be nice to have your share, but I still hate things...

Not wanting to pay attention to Zhang Yan, He Mu turned her head and asked her parents, "Dad and Mom put on the shoes, do they fit?"

"It's okay, I'll try it on if Eminem doesn't fit." After putting away the skin care products, Cai Mingzhu came over to try on the new shoes.

He Mu secretly rolled her eyes.Fortunately, the shoes fit the old man's feet very well, and I didn't feel uncomfortable after wearing them.It's a cold day, and the old cotton shoes are a bit cold to the feet. When I put on this pair of shoes, there is a sense of warmth immediately, and the two elders are so happy that they are from ear to ear.

She didn't take it off at the moment, just put it on her feet like this, and Cai Mingzhu, who really wanted to try on the warm leather shoes imported from abroad, couldn't find a chance at all, so she couldn't help but said sourly: "Second sister, why don't you go back and talk to Weiwei? , if there are suitable ones for me, bring me a pair too, my shoe size is 37, very standard..."

"That's it." Zhang Yan also continued sourly, "It's such a good opportunity to bring us some foreign duty-free products. How can you just buy some small things when you come back? It's too stingy."

He Mu glanced at her and said calmly: "If you look down on hand cream and lip balm so much, just return it to me. This set costs more than 200, and I'm reluctant to give it away. I take it back for my own use. "

As soon as Zhang Yan heard that it would cost more than 200, Zhang Yan immediately received it in her mother's bag, and laughed a few times: "Isn't it because I'm just rambling around, and I'm angry? Second aunt, you are too angry."
