My girlfriend is from 1949

When the family took the elevator into the garage and saw the boxy UV, their eyes widened in surprise.

"Son, did you buy this?"

Chen Jianguo circled around UV, touching it here and looking at it there, his face revealing his delight.

Most men like off-road vehicles.

So the family's car, worth over 100,000 yuan, is usually given to my wife to drive.

However, he does have a driver's license; the two of them enrolled in the driving school together.

I passed all four driving tests on my first try!

Although it's only C2, it's enough.

Anyway, as a public official, he neither drives a truck to make money nor races cars.

Naturally, we should do things in the simplest way possible.

If it weren't for the fact that almost everyone takes the exam as a backup, he wouldn't bother taking it.

Seeing this luxury car worth over three million yuan now, I immediately felt an urge to buy it.

Chen Huai'an asked with a smile, "Dad, why don't you drive?"

"Really?" Chen Jianguo raised an eyebrow, a look of delight on his face.

He then looked worried and said, "Since I got my driver's license, I've driven less than ten times in all these years. What if I get into an accident?"

This shows a lack of confidence in their driving skills.

Chen Huai'an laughed heartily, "It's my own car, so if it's damaged, I can just repair it. Besides, the insurance is high-quality; even if you hit a Rolls-Royce, I can afford to pay for it!"

It's just damaging a car; it's not a big deal for our current financial situation.

Although only 10% of the profits are taken from each cross-border trade.

But after a few months, they had made quite a bit of money.

Moreover, this time they brought back 200 million tons of crude oil.

Even with discounts, at only $500 per ton, it's still worth a billion dollars.

Taking 10% is 100 million US dollars!

Let alone hitting one Rolls-Royce, I could afford to pay for ten or a hundred!

Moreover, because it involves crude oil, such a large amount of money is actually safe, and there's no need to hide it anymore.

If there are concerns about legality, the National Security Bureau will also make the money legal and compliant within the country.

Chen Jianguo rubbed his hands together and excitedly sat in the driver's seat.

The movements were slow and deliberate: starting the engine, applying the brakes, shifting gears... every step was performed with care.

At the beginning, the speed was very slow, and we drove very carefully.

Gradually, as I became more proficient, I stopped being nervous.

After leaving the residential area, it sped along the main road steadily.

Zhang Ping sat in the back seat, chatting with her daughter-in-law while taking out her phone to search for and set a navigation.

Chen Jianguo looked confused, but still followed the navigation instructions.

I used to live in the suburbs, so every time I went into the city center, I would spend a lot of time on the road.

Now that I live in the city center, it only takes me ten minutes to drive to my destination as indicated by the navigation.

Chen Jianguo brought the car to a smooth stop and asked, "Why are you stopping here?"

Zhang Ping pointed to the jewelry store on the street and said with a smile, "Naturally, it's for Wanwan to buy jewelry."

Lin Wan quickly waved her hand: "Mom, you've already given me a bracelet, I don't need to buy any more jewelry."

Zhang Ping paused, her expression turning serious: "You and Huai'an got married without even asking for a bride price. Mom has to make up for it by giving you the three gold pieces. We'll go back to Suzhou later to hold the wedding banquet."

The "three golds" refer to three basic pieces of jewelry: gold rings, gold necklaces, and gold earrings.

Young people today have more flexible choices, and can choose any three items from gold bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings, and necklaces.

The total weight is generally between 20 and 50 grams, and the budget is mostly between 2 and 3 yuan.

If you choose five items, it's called "five metals".

In general, the woman will take the initiative to ask for three gold pieces when getting married.

Zhang Ping is a reasonable person. Her son married someone else without giving a bride price, so it wouldn't be right if she didn't even give the three gold pieces (a traditional Chinese wedding gift).

That's why I navigated to the jewelry store; I wanted to buy three gold pieces for my daughter-in-law.

She really liked this daughter-in-law.

She would feel guilty if she didn't buy the three gold pieces.

During a chat in the office, a female teacher mentioned her son's wedding and kept sighing.

Because the woman's request was to remain completely still, to be shaken off, and to be supported!

"One move" refers to a car; the man must buy a nice car before marriage, preferably worth over 100,000 yuan.

"Immovable property" refers to real estate, requiring at least a commercial apartment in the county town and a three-story building in the countryside; single-story houses are no longer acceptable.

"One-way" refers to the newlywed couple living separately after marriage, without living with the parents-in-law.

They even shirk their responsibilities for supporting their parents and paying off debts, leaving their children to be cared for by their grandparents.

"One-support" refers to the groom's obligation to help the bride's younger brother with things like wedding dowry, buying a house, and buying a car.

The man always pays for everything, whether it's causing trouble or settling things; this is commonly known as "the brother-supporting demon."

The saying goes, "Without comparison, there is no harm."

Having witnessed firsthand the experiences of colleagues and the couple who were driven to despair by their troubles.

Looking at his own daughter-in-law, the difference immediately became apparent.

Chen Huai'an's eyes darted around, and he smiled as he echoed, "Wanwan, since it's Mom's idea, you shouldn't refuse."

The more gifts a woman receives in the name of her daughter-in-law, the more certain her identity becomes.

Once you gradually accept her as your daughter-in-law, things might just fall into place naturally someday!

After hearing her family's persuasion, Lin Wan could only nod in agreement.

However, upon hearing that it was a "gift for the daughter-in-law," I felt quite pleased.

It wasn't that she coveted the jewelry; with her high income and well-off family during the Republic of China era, she had no shortage of such things.

It's mainly about the name; I'm not moved by it.

"Welcome!"

As soon as the family of four entered the jewelry store, the sales clerk greeted them warmly.

He asked, "What would you like to choose? I can make some recommendations."

Zhang Ping said generously, "I'll choose three gold pieces for my daughter-in-law."

The salesperson's eyes lit up; they knew the deal was practically done.

The highest conversion rate is for jewelry purchased for daughters-in-law!

He immediately took out a gold ring, a gold necklace, and gold earrings.

Zhang Ping squinted, preparing to speak.

Chen Jianguo spoke first: "Too light."

These two simple words fully expressed his attitude and conveyed what his wife wanted to say.

The sales clerk was overjoyed and immediately replaced the plate.

It's much thicker than the previous one.

Although the Chen family was not a wealthy family, both husband and wife were public servants and had saved a considerable amount of money over the years.

The gift given to the daughter-in-law is also related to the future relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

You only get one chance in your life, so you should definitely cherish it.

Zhang Ping picked up a gold necklace and asked, "Try this one."

Then she handed it to her son and ordered, "Put it on Wanwan now!"

Chen Huai'an took the gold necklace and happily put it on.

His movements were skillful; he was clearly an expert.

Fortunately, Lin Wan was so immersed in her happiness that she didn't notice.

The set of three gold pieces cost 12 yuan!

Even the sales clerks were filled with envy, secretly thinking to themselves: "When I got married, I had to haggle for ages before they agreed to buy the three gold pieces. I wish I had such generous in-laws."

The family bought three gold items and sat happily in the car.

Chen Jianguo asked, "Huai'an, which street is your shop on?"
