Chapter 618 Stubborn Old Man
"Big girl, don't ask too many questions. Remember to keep your mouth shut when you are outside. Xiao Wuzi gave you these things. You have to be careful when you wear them. Don't show off everywhere! People's minds are unpredictable. It will be troublesome if you meet someone who is jealous and has bad intentions. When the boss and the others come, please take care of them. Every failure makes you wiser. You can't always make mistakes."
The mother couldn't help but remind her, and the eldest sister nodded to show that she understood.
After what happened at home, although the brothers and sisters didn't say anything, they still felt uncomfortable about it in their hearts.
Xiao Wuzi finally sent back a large sum of money, but the money was gone in a blink of an eye before it could even warm up. Can this money be paid back after being lent out?
If this happens again, the family will definitely fall out. It is natural for Xiao Wuzi's money to be spent by his family, so why should it be spent on outsiders? Is it because they don't know how to enjoy spending money?
Old Qin, who was standing by, felt extremely embarrassed after hearing this. He just puffed on his cigarette without saying a word.
He knew what his wife meant by saying this. She was simply using the words to the eldest girl as a reminder for him not to get carried away and show off everywhere, which would eventually get the whole family into trouble.
It was getting lively when there was a knock on the door. The eldest sister got up to open the door. As soon as the door opened, a young man in his early twenties walked in.
"Little Six!" Seeing his younger brother coming into the room, Qin Zhengguo stood up and greeted him with a smile.
When he saw Qin Zhengguo, Liuzi was stunned at first. Like his parents and elder sister, he didn't recognize who this fat man was. But he soon found a familiar memory from Qin Zhengguo's fat face. He was surprised and shouted, "Second brother?"
"Hahaha! Xiao Liuzi! I haven't seen you for many years. You have grown up. Wow, you are taller than me and your body is much stronger. Not bad, not bad."
Qin Zhengguo opened his arms and hugged his brother, then looked at his younger brother with a smile.
When he was an educated youth, Liuzi was still very young and followed him everywhere. When he returned to the city, Liuzi had not even graduated from high school and was just a teenager.
Now, several years have passed in the blink of an eye. He has grown into a grown man, taller than Qin Zhengguo. Although thin, he looks very energetic.
Liuzi now works in a switch factory, which is a state-owned enterprise, and his job is relatively stable. Last year, a kind-hearted person in his company introduced him to a girl, and they dated for half a year before finally getting married. Now the wedding date has been set, and the ceremony will be officially held in a few days. The little brat back then is also getting married and starting a family.
Liuzi and Qin Zhengguo have the best relationship between the two brothers. Although Qin Zhengguo was away as an educated youth for so many years and left the city not long after returning, the feelings cultivated since childhood can never be changed.
Qin Zhengguo has an extroverted temper and personality, while Liuzi, as the eldest son, has been shy since childhood and was often bullied by boys of the same age when he was young. Every time he knew someone was bullying his younger brother, Qin Zhengguo would roll up his sleeves and stand up for his younger brother without saying a word. Qin Zhengguo has fought many fights for Liuzi, and when he comes home from a fight outside, he might get beaten by the angry old Qin.
"Second brother, why didn't you come back after running away? I thought you would..." Liuzi's eyes were moist and he couldn't help complaining.
"Silly boy, this is my home, how can I not come back? Besides, for such a big event as your wedding, I have to come back no matter how far away I am!" Qin Zhengguo said with a smile, patting Liuzi on the shoulder: "Come! I brought you something, come and see if you like it."
As he said that, he pulled Liuzi to look at things. When Liuzi saw the dazzling array of things, his eyes widened with shock. He was stunned for a long time before asking, "Are these all for him?"
"Of course, the things that belong to my eldest brother, second sister, and third sister, as well as my parents and eldest sister, have already been given to them. All the things that are left are for you."
Qin Zhengguo waved his hand, pointing at a pile of things on the table, and said, "We came back in a hurry, and it was a long journey so some things were hard to bring. I was thinking of bringing you some imported electrical appliances, but then I thought these things were too big and inconvenient, so I brought these. Oh, and this, too. Keep it. You'll be an adult after you get married and have a family. You can't live without money as a couple. These are what your second brother left for you. Don't be stupid and give them all away! A man can't live without money, understand?"
As he spoke, Qin Zhengguo took out a thick envelope that he had prepared long ago from his pocket and stuffed it into his pocket. Liuzi hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, and hurriedly said something like "No, no, no".
"You're still being polite to me, kid? Keep it!" Qin Zhengguo glared and forced the envelope to his brother. Liuzi reached out and touched it. The envelope was very thick, and there must be a lot of money in it.
Liuzi hesitated for a moment and did not refuse. It was given by his own brother, not an outsider.
After taking the money, Qin Zhengguo smiled and asked him to try on the coat, watch and other things. When the coat was customized, Qin Zhengguo did not expect his younger brother to have grown so tall. He just chose the size based on his memory and calculation. Fortunately, Liuzi was slightly tall but thin, and the coat was loose, so it just fit him and made him look very energetic.
When Liuzi saw the watch and the set of jewelry specially prepared for his brother's wife, his eyes lit up. He looked at them for a while and suddenly said to Qin Zhengguo, "Second brother, are these all for me? Really?"
"Are you so happy, kid? Didn't I just tell you that these are all for you!"
"Hehe..." Liuzi scratched his head and laughed a few times, then thought for a while and asked, "Second brother, can I send this women's watch and these jewelry to my girlfriend first?"
"What? Can't wait?" Qin Zhengguo asked with a smile.
Liu Zi said embarrassedly, "It's not that I can't wait. I have to do the work right away. I'll send these things to her first, and let her take them with her when she gets the job done... Second brother, is that okay?"
"Okay? Take it off for me." Although Qin Zhengguo had never seen his brother's wife, seeing his brother's eager look and full of happiness on his face, he immediately nodded and agreed.
Liuzi cheered happily, while Lao Qin on the side scolded him with a stern face , thinking about his wife before getting married yet, and still eagerly giving her gifts? Don't you feel ashamed?
On the contrary, the mother understood her younger son's thoughts very well. Because the Qin family had lent out a lot of money before, they not only borrowed out all the money Qin Zhengguo gave them, but also lost their own money.
This time, Xiao Liuzi was getting married. Getting married was a big deal, but Liuzi had just started working and had no money! The family couldn't afford any money, so several brothers and sisters pooled money to help Liuzi with the wedding. Another part was sent by Qin Zhengguo's old classmates after hearing about it, saying that they were lending it to the Qin family for emergency relief.
This is barely enough, but for the woman, it is really unfair. Fortunately, the woman's family is sensible and reasonable, and did not ask too much in these aspects. They just hope that the two children can live well after marriage. From this point of view, Lao Qin and his wife feel a little sorry for their youngest son and future daughter-in-law.
This is also the reason why Liuzi thought of this matter the first time he saw Qin Zhengguo brought so many good things for himself and his girlfriend.
When Qin Zhengguo came back today, he was at his girlfriend's house, discussing the wedding in a few days with her. Because they were short of money, they figured it out for a long time before they reluctantly made some specific arrangements. On the way back, Liuzi felt very guilty, thinking that his girlfriend was following him like this and would soon become his wife, but he couldn't give her a grand wedding, which was really a bit unfair to her.
Now, Qin Zhengguo's arrival gave him a surprise. Not to mention these valuable gifts, there was also the money in the thick envelope. With these, all the problems were solved, and all the problems that troubled them disappeared at once.
Seeing that Qin Zhengguo agreed, Liuzi found a bag, packed his things in it, and ran out in a hurry. He ran so fast that he disappeared before Qin Zhengguo could react.
"This kid, why is he running so fast..." He smiled and shook his head.
"Hey, this is not Xiao Liuzi's fault. In fact, it's normal for him to behave like this. We already owe him..." There were some things that the Qin couple were reluctant to say, but the eldest sister had no problem saying it. She immediately talked about the preparations for Liuzi's wedding in front of Qin Zhengguo.
As they talked, Old Qin felt extremely embarrassed. If he hadn't borrowed all the money, how could Liuzi's wedding be arranged like this? Especially when the eldest girl was talking more and more outrageous, and when she spoke well of her in-laws, she also mentioned that the Qin family owed them too much, Old Qin couldn't sit still any longer.
"Ahem..." Lao Qin coughed twice and said to his wife beside him, "Old lady, what time is it? Are we going to cook dinner? You won't cook when Xiao Wuzi comes back? What are we going to eat later?"
"Oh, I forgot about this because we were so busy. Stop chatting, girl. Come with me to the kitchen and cook some dishes. Your brother and his friends will be here soon. If everyone else arrives, they won't even have time to eat a hot meal..."
The eldest sister came to her senses when she heard this, stopped talking to Qin Zhengguo, got up and went to the kitchen with her mother to busy herself.
After my mother and eldest sister went to the kitchen, the living room suddenly became quiet.
Qin Zhengguo looked towards Lao Qin, thought for a moment, took out a cigarette, handed it to him, and lit it with a lighter: "Dad, are you okay?"
"It's OK, I won't die..." Old Qin's words almost choked Qin Zhengguo to death. Can't this old man speak properly? I haven't blamed him for borrowing money indiscriminately, but now he answers me like this.
He shook his head in his heart, this stubborn old man! Qin Zhengguo knew something about Liuzi's wedding. The old classmate who lent money to the Qin family mentioned by the eldest sister was actually arranged by Qin Zhengguo. Although he had not been back in the past few years, he had always asked people to help pay attention to and take care of the family's situation.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Zhengguo came back in person this time. On the one hand, it was because of his brother's wedding, and on the other hand, he also wanted to take this opportunity to completely solve the problems at home.
