On the highway, a total of eight cars were driving at a certain distance from each other. In the middle were two customized RVs for women and children. Li Mo, Li Zhongsheng and Yanagawa Qing were riding in other luxury cars.
This time, because we had children following us, we brought along a nanny and a pediatric family specialist. The convoy set off at around 8 a.m. and rested three times along the way. It did not arrive at Shengzhou County, Zhejiang Province until around 11 p.m.
The hotel staff had been ready to welcome him, and even the general manager came forward. After all, there were thirty people staying in their hotel, and they had reserved all the best rooms in their hotel, and it must be for five days.
As the best hotel in a county-level city, the service is definitely impeccable. When the motorcade stopped in front of the hotel one by one, everyone's eyes were shocked by the luxury of the motorcade.
The first people to get off the bus were the uniformed Security Shield Company security personnel, followed by the adults and children.
"Brown Bear, please arrange for the elderly and children to check in first. We are tired after riding in the car for a day. Let the hotel prepare some easy-to-digest food."
"Okay, boss."
The sharp-eyed hotel staff had already recognized Li Mo and Qin Sirui. When they booked the room, they couldn't tell who the VIP guests were, so they never expected that it was them.
The general manager of the five-star hotel was also stunned. He came to his senses only after being reminded by his assistant and quickly stepped forward to say hello.
"Professor Li, hello Mrs. Qin, I am Yan Yifei, the general manager here."
Li Mo was not surprised to be able to recognize him for the first time. He took the initiative to reach out and shake his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Yan. I have been troublesome for everyone these days."
"This is an honor for all our hotel staff. Please feel free to contact us if you have any needs."
"good."
The next day, Li Mo and the others set off for a town below Shengzhou after having breakfast. The master's home is located at the junction of urban and rural areas and belongs to the countryside, but it is very convenient to go to the town to buy things.
Li Mo came here several times with his master and his wife when he was a child, but he hasn't been here for about fifteen years. Shengzhou belongs to Yuezhou. When he found the treasure of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, on Caowan Mountain in Yuezhou, it caused a sensation all over the world. That time was the closest, but because I wanted to avoid the limelight, I returned to the Magic City before I even had time to visit Shengzhou.
Song Shizhi moved a stool early in the morning and sat on the doorway, waving his fan leisurely. Next to him sat a man in his fifties. He poured the freshly brewed green tea and said with a smile: "Uncle, Mr. Li and the others We should be there in half an hour, how about we go inside and wait?"
"The air outside is fresh, just wait outside."
"But if you look around, you will see that Mr. Li is arriving today, and the surrounding neighbors are here. The person in charge of the town has also come to meet with the village director a long time ago and said that he would welcome Mr. Li and the others."
Song Yuankang picked up a cup of tea and handed it to him.
"Don't worry about them. Today I will tell Xiao Mo and the others that this house will be reserved for you and your wife in the future."
"Uncle, Mr. Li has been very kind to our family over the years and has never treated us badly."
"I don't know how many more years I can live with my body. Yuanning lived in the Magic City or Kyoto before. If you and your wife hadn't been doing your best to take care of me, I wouldn't have lived such a comfortable life. Although this courtyard was created by Xiao Mo, I bought a house with a good foundation and built it with money, but my name is on the property certificate, so I have the final say as to who gets it.”
Song Yuankang stopped talking. This courtyard is the most dazzling house in Dahu Town. It is completely designed according to the gardens of Gusu City. There are mountains and water inside, surrounded by greenery, and plaques presented by officials at all levels hang at the door. In short, there are almost no people in Dahu Town who don’t know who the owner of this courtyard house is.
During festivals, officials at all levels will also send people to send gifts and blessings. The news that Master Song was going to celebrate his eightieth birthday had already spread out. Knowing that his disciples and grandsons would be arriving today, people around him came to join in the fun and want to see the true appearance of the fairy eyes.
After chatting for about twenty minutes, a motorcade slowly stopped at the roadside, and Song Yuanlang helped Song Shizhi to greet it.
"Dad." Song Yuanning got out of the car first, then looked at Song Yuanlang, "Brother."
"It's good to be home, it's good to be home."
Yanagawa Qing and Li Zhongsheng also came forward to say hello one by one, but Song Shizhi's attention was not on them and kept looking behind them.
"Master."
As soon as Li Mo appeared, Song Shizhi immediately reached out and touched his head. This action made many people dumbfounded. The most important thing in the emotional old man's heart was Li Mo.
Many neighbors came around. Yanagawa Qing and Li Zhongsheng started to smoke, and they would laugh and chat with familiar people from time to time. The Song family is not a common surname here, so there are not many people in this family. But the neighbors know a lot of each other, and now Yanagawa Kei is a professor at the University of Magic, so many people take the initiative to say hello to him.
Li Mo looked outside the garden courtyard, lined with green trees, and beyond that was the vegetable field. Walking into the courtyard, in addition to the main house, there are also side houses on both sides with independent rooms and bathrooms. Although the space is small, it looks very neat inside, without the clutter found in rural areas.
He walked into a row of houses on the east side. The tables were wiped clean. It seemed that someone was cleaning them frequently.
"Xiao Mo, what are you looking at?"
Song Shizhi shouted outside.
Li Mo walked out and said with a smile: "This is my first time here, just take a look, it's pretty good."
"It's all your work, okay? Let's take a walk and sit in the main room. Your Uncle Yuan Kang went to the town early in the morning and bought a lot of fresh fruits."
Sisi and Ruirui felt very fresh and fun, and ran around excitedly in the big yard. Jun Yu and Huai Shan were pushed in a stroller, looking at it curiously with wide eyes. Although the distance they could see clearly was not that far, it did not affect their sense of hearing.
Walking into the main hall, every decoration and piece of furniture is neatly arranged. After everyone sat down, Li Mocai said: "Uncle Yuan Kang, I really want to thank you for taking care of me all these years. I took a look and you are really attentive."
"Actually, I didn't do much. The main job of cleaning the house is my daughter-in-law and daughter. They come over every two or three days to clean everything."
"Uncle Yuan Kang, where are your son, daughter-in-law, and daughter?"
"My son works in the county government, my daughter-in-law is a teacher in the county, and my daughter works in the city. I remember they were in their teens when you last met. I wonder if you have any impression of them."
Li Mo laughed twice, glanced at Liu Yingying beside him and said, "Of course I have an impression, the last time we met. The brother and sister bullied Yingying, and I rushed up and had a fight with them without saying anything. At that time I still had the upper hand, but without saying a word, you picked up a willow stick and gave the brother and sister a severe lesson. When they were eating that day, they stared at me while eating. "
That was more than ten years ago. We were all young, and young people tend to act impulsively. Thinking back on it now, everyone in the room burst into laughter. Time flies so fast, and I have grown up in a blink of an eye.
"Uncle Yuanyasu, where is my aunt?"
Liu Yingying asked.
"She is helping to take care of her grandson at home in the county. We will come together at noon." Song Yuankang said this and looked at Li Mo, "Li Mo, what are you going to do for this birthday party?"
"What to do specifically depends on local customs. I have to ask Uncle Yuan Kang to take care of this matter."
"Okay, when my son comes back at noon, we will discuss and come up with a process together. I have been eating and drinking in the past few days, and I have already found a chef in a big hotel in the county to contract the work and ingredients. He is expected to arrive soon."
Song Yuankang was very careful in his work. Even the chef was invited from the county hotel. He was not afraid of spending money, but he was afraid that the food would not taste good.
While everyone was chatting, there was a noise outside. Song Yuankang went out to take a look and then heard him scolding: "Can you still have some shame? I will put down my words today. I will not marry my daughter."
"Old Song, what is your attitude? We are sincerely here to negotiate with you about the marriage of our children. Do you have any opinions to offer? Why do you always refuse to marry your daughter? Are you threatening us?"
"Gungungun, I'm not worthy of being your in-laws, okay?"
Song Yuankang shouted angrily.
In the room, everyone was confused. Li Mo looked at Song Shizhi: "Master, what's going on?"
"What else could it be? It's just that the bride price and dowry were not discussed well. Your daughter from the Yuanyasu family works in the city and has a boyfriend who has been in a good relationship. She originally decided to hold a wedding at the end of this year. The husband is in the city to prepare all the money. I bought a 1.80 square meter wedding room and asked the woman to pay for the decoration. I heard that if the wedding room is fully decorated, the total cost will be 7.8 million. So what you, Uncle Yuan Kang, mean is that it doesn’t matter if you pay for it. , but the real estate certificate must be in the names of two people. When they get married, there will be no need for a bride price from the groom, and I will put up a dowry of 100,000 yuan."
"In the end, the man was embarrassed. He said that the house was bought by his family in full, and it cost more than two million. It was the man's pre-marital property, so why should he add the woman's name? Your uncle Yuan Kang didn't care too much, and just said that the house should be renovated. They will complete it themselves. In the later stage, the woman does not need any gifts, but can dowry 300,000 yuan as her daughter's private money. They are each responsible for banquets and other matters. Xiao Mo, do you think what your Uncle Yuan Kang did is right? "
"Of course, it's reasonable."
"The parents of these men started to make things difficult again, saying that if this was the case, their family would have to prepare 3 million in funds for their son to get married. The woman had only given 300,000 as a dowry, so it would be better not to bring any."
Song Yuanning frowned slightly and said, "Marriage is a matter between two juniors. What is the man's attitude?"
"If that man had been more assertive, what happened now wouldn't have happened." Song Shizhi sighed slightly, "The other party is doing some business in the city and has some wealth, but he still lacks shortcomings as a person. Wait a minute, Yuanyasu. Uncle, come in and talk to him properly."
Every family has its cupboard.
"Old Song, what's your attitude? It's not like my son will marry only your daughter. Even if there are guests at your house today, we have to make things clear."
"roll."
Song Yuankang walked into the hall angrily, followed by a middle-aged couple with arrogant expressions. They glanced around the faces of the people in the room and were stunned, especially Li Mo. They looked at him a few more times, as if to confirm something.
"You two, is there something wrong with my face? You guys keep staring at me. I'm not used to it."
Song Yuankang showed an apologetic look: "I really made everyone laugh."
At this time, two young men, a man and a woman, also rushed into the hall. The young man walked up to the middle-aged couple and said unhappily: "Didn't we all agree? Why did you come to uncle again to discuss the dowry matter?"
"You stupid son, you are still confused when others have taken advantage of you. You two can get married. The man will decorate the house, and the woman must marry a car worth more than 500,000 yuan, a dowry of 500,000 yuan, and The banquet expenses for both parties.”
The middle-aged woman said arrogantly.
"Yes, silly son, your mother is right. Since two people are getting married, we don't expect the woman to have as much dowry as the man, but it can't be too ugly." The middle-aged man agreed and looked at Song with his hands on his hips. Yuan Kang said, "All in all, you women have taken advantage of this."
"Qingxiang, in a family like this, can you be happy if you marry? You decide for yourself whether you want to marry this man or not. If you insist on marrying, I can raise more than one million even if I sell everything. If you don't Marry them, I will immediately drive them away with a stick."
Song Qingxiang looked at the man next to her and saw the look of expectation on his face, but she couldn't bear to say the words that came to her lips.
"Sister Qingxiang, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, you have changed so much." At this time, Li Mo's voice sounded, with a slight smile, "You dared to fight with me when you were dragging your nose and holding a branch. . At that time, I was still thinking, cursing you to become uglier as you grow older. It seems that God didn’t hear my voice and just gave me a big slap in the face.”
Song Qingxiang looked at Li Mo's unfamiliar yet familiar face, and then at Qin Sirui and Liu Yingying beside him. There was a wry smile on his handsome face. It would be really embarrassing today.
"Qingxiang, after all, we are also cousins. Why didn't you tell me about your marriage? Even Uncle Yuankang didn't tell me about it." Liu Yingying complained a little, got up and walked to her, stretched out her hands to hug her, and hugged her. She smiled with a dot on her forehead, "I have been practicing martial arts these years. How about we try to have a fight sometime?"
"How can that be possible? It all happened when I was a child, and I was not sensible at that time." Song Qingxiang's heart warmed up and she felt much better.
"Uncle Yuankang, we don't have anything to give Qingxiang when she gets married. Well, I'll buy a villa in the city and a Porsche for Qingxiang. If she doesn't live comfortably in her husband's family in the future, at least she won't be raped. When you get out of the house, you can at least have a home of your own." Liu Yingying looked at the middle-aged couple and said with a smile, "What you two just said makes sense. Since two people are getting married, both parties are equal. . But our Old Song family will never bully others. I have a suggestion for you two to consider. The expenses for the wedding room, wedding car, all banquets, and favors will be paid for by our Old Song family, and then we will give you two one million. The betrothal gift. We, the daughter of the old Song family, will marry your son home without any dowry from you. After all calculations, the two of you have earned the equivalent of four million. What do you think of this method? "
"Yingying, don't be too stingy. After all, you have to marry a son. No matter how many children you have in the future, they will have the surname of the old Song family. One million as a betrothal gift is a bit small. I think you can add another one million, and then in the market The district will buy another medium-sized house for them to use for their retirement in the future.”
Li Mo interrupted with a bit of blame.
Chapter 1000 has passed a big mark, and suddenly I feel that it has been updated for so long and it can still persist until now. Please support me with your monthly votes and continue to work hard.
