Seeing the confused look on his grandson's face, Xu Jingyou suddenly realized. He almost forgot that there were only American knives in his wallet. It was normal for children not to recognize him.
"Of course, what grandpa gave you is also money, but it is not Chinese dollars, but foreign money."
Xu Ziran tilted his head, looked at the money, and then at his father.
New Year's money should not be collected randomly, this is what his parents taught him.
Besides, it’s not the Chinese New Year now, so where can I get the New Year’s money?
On the side, Xu Lingjun took a step forward and took the initiative to stand between the two of them.
"Father, this is too much money."
"I can't have it."
Xu Lingjun knew Mei Dao. Not only did he know her, he also received New Year's money from Mei Dao when he was a child.
He remembered that at that time, the French currency had depreciated so much that the Xu family's uncles and uncles basically abandoned the French currency and exchanged the family's money for either U.S. knives or British pounds.
These foreign currencies are the real hard currency.
The pile of money in Xu Jingyou's hand was basically worth ten yuan. A quick glance at the large handful showed it was at least two to three hundred dollars.
If this money were converted into domestic money, it would be higher than their family's annual income.
"Lingjun, this money is not for you."
Xu Jingyou's face was stern, and he seemed to have returned to the style of a feudal patriarch. He directly passed his son, turned to look at his grandson, and said in a friendly manner.
"Of course, take it, this is a gift from grandpa."
"I do not want!"
Xu Ziran, who loudly refused, had a very firm attitude.
He is a good kid. He just heard that his father wouldn't let him take it. Since his father wouldn't let him, he couldn't take it.
"Well………"
Seeing the little guy's righteous words, Xu Jingyou couldn't help but laugh.
He can never act like a parent to his children.
After all, it was just the first time that he and his grandson met today, and there was no time for intimacy, so how could they be serious about it?
"Father, please collect the money first."
Hearing this, Xu Jingyou sighed slightly and silently put the money back into his wallet.
A bad start.
However, he had a backup plan. In addition to money, he brought many gifts this time, including many toys that could not be bought in big cities.
He didn't believe it. How could a child resist the temptation of toys?
"Father, come and sit at home."
"good."
Xu Jingyou nodded slightly, then followed the steps and stepped into the house with his son.
After entering the door, he looked around.
This home is a bit shabby.
In the huge living room, there was only an Eight Immortals table, two chests of drawers, and a small square table.
Moreover, not only is there little furniture, there are also no electronic products. Apart from a radio, there is only one electric fan.
There are no big items like TVs and refrigerators.
Life in Lingjun must have been very difficult these years, right?
"Xiuzhi."
On the other side, Xu Lingjun walked up to his wife with a smile on his face and took the tea tray from her hand.
"Let me introduce you."
"This is my father, I told you before."
"Um."
Li Xiuzhi first wiped her hands on her apron and tidied her hair, then followed her husband's footsteps and came to Xu Jingyou.
Coming closer, Xu Lingjun introduced in a very formulaic manner.
"Father, this is your daughter-in-law, my lover Li Xiuzhi."
"Father-in-law."
Li Xiuzhi lowered her head and shouted actively.
"Hello, I am Li Xiuzhi."
"Ah hello."
Xu Jing has matured with age, and he can see Li Xiuzhi's background at a glance. This daughter-in-law is definitely not from a wealthy family.
However, although he was a little dissatisfied, the other party was still his son's wife, and it seemed that the two of them had a good relationship.
Therefore, even though Xu Jingyou didn't like it very much, he still nodded with a smile.
"Lingjun is lucky to have a wife like you."
Listening to her father-in-law's praise, Li Xiuzhi lowered her head and was speechless.
"Xiuzhi, take your children and go out to play for a while."
Just when Li Xiuzhi was in a dilemma, Xu Lingjun took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment at the scene.
"Father, drink water."
"And this lady."
With that said, Xu Lingjun handed the two cups of tea he had poured into their hands one after another.
Xu Jingyou nodded lightly and took the tea with one hand.
"Thanks."
The female secretary took the cup with both hands and thanked her very politely.
She has been with Xu Jingyou for many years, and she knows the purpose of her boss's visit this time.
This time, the boss came here to take his son and his family back to the Electric Eel Country.
In addition, if there are no accidents, the boss's property will be handed over to Xu Lingjun.
In other words, Xu Lingjun will be her little boss in the future.
Seeing how polite the little boss was, she thought to herself that the little boss shouldn't be a difficult person to get along with.
correct.
Although the little boss lives in such a remote area, when he was young, the little boss not only went to university, but also worked as a university teacher.
These days, college students are in short supply no matter where they are.
Xu Jingyou glanced at the female secretary and gave instructions directly.
"Lucia, you go out first."
"Yes, BOSS."
The female secretary was very knowledgeable. Before she left, she smiled and nodded at Xu Lingjun.
First impression is very important.
The Xu family paid a lot of money, and in her opinion, the job was very good, so it was important to leave a good impression on the young master's family.
When the female secretary left, Xu Jingyou naturally sat on the main seat. Then he saw Xu Lingjun still standing there and couldn't help but point.
"Lingjun, please sit down too."
"Um."
After the two sat down, the scene became silent again.
For a moment, no one spoke first.
After a while, Xu Jingyou broke the silence and said with a guilty look on his face.
"Lingjun, I've heard a lot about your fortunes over the years."
"I'm sorry, this is all my fault."
"Back then, I shouldn't have..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Lingjun smiled and shook his head.
"Father."
"This is all in the past. Since it is in the past, there is no need to mention it now."
"Actually, by now, I have long since let go of the past, and sometimes, I am still grateful for those bad situations."
"If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have met my current wife, nor would I have my current family."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Xu Jingyou was greatly surprised.
"Sounds like a wife you love very much?"
Hearing this, a happy smile appeared on Xu Lingjun's face.
"Yes."
"I love her very much. I love her more than myself."
Xu Lingjun would definitely not say these words if Li Xiuzhi was face to face, because there is no need for these attached love words between them.
Xu Jingyou asked with interest: "Can I hear your love story?"
