A foreigner travels thousands of miles to return to his hometown to spread our splendid Chinese culture. What kind of spirit is this?
This is a very serious spirit of abandoning darkness for light!
Qi Yu was generous with his praise and spoke highly of Harry's righteous act. As for what the results will be, we can only wait and see the aftermath.
For now, family matters should come first.
Therefore, after talking about business-related matters, Qi Yu intentionally or unintentionally brought up personal matters, "Your uncle Qi wanted to build the land of Mobei for long-term development. Because the resources in his hands were insufficient, he asked our Qiongzhou I sent a request for help. Due to the special relationship between the two parties that was about to deepen, my father had no choice but to agree."
A special relationship about to deepen?
Gee, my father is really becoming more and more tactful in his speech.
Going around and around, just not mentioning the word marriage.
Helping Qi Jing was expected, but his father didn't show any signs of physical pain, which was a bit out of character for him.
Could it be that he was just perfunctory and had no intention of truly helping?
With this question in mind, Xiaotong asked with a smile: "Then, what kind of help did my father help?"
Qi Yu said generously: "The assistance is very expensive. I have loaned him more than a hundred practical talents, more than a million kilograms of various grains, and about a thousand construction equipment. In addition, there are some scattered Other resources have been scattered. Overall, it is enough for him to use in the early stages of development."
"There are so many?" Xiaotong was shocked when he heard this, as if he didn't believe his ears.
How could he be so generous with his father's frugal temperament?
It seems a little abnormal~~
Seeing how confused his daughter was, Qi Yu quickly explained.
He first said with a heroic face: "Brother Qi and I are close friends of life and death, and our bond is as important as Mount Tai. When he encounters difficulties, how can I not do my best?"
However, when his voice changed, he looked like a businessman and said: "Using such resources as a dowry companion can definitely offset our family's money. Moreover, such an operation has many benefits. It takes care of the general interest and deepens personal relationships. It can be said that They complement each other.”
Equivalent to dowry?
Qi Xiaotong was embarrassed at first when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but feel happy.
It was not difficult to hear that his father had clearly hinted that he agreed to the marriage.
However, due to the dignity of the family master, he was unwilling to say it himself.
No matter what, this is the little girl's ideal result, and her wishes come true.
After bidding farewell to his father, Qi Xiaotong came to Zhou's bedroom again.
But I saw the gray-haired old grandmother counting something with her fingers.
"Grandma, aren't you asleep yet?"
"Ah, the daughter of my family is here. Come and sit on the kang."
"No hurry, no hurry, grandma, wait and see, what is this?"
"Huh? What?"
After saying that, Qi Xiaotong held the gift basket from behind in front of her, pretending to be a gift giver.
what?
Zhou glanced at it and shook his head to show that he didn't recognize him.
"Grandma, I can't read. I don't know what the sign on it means."
"This drink is called 'British Black Tea'. You can brew it with hot water and add brown sugar to it. I brought it back from abroad to honor you."
"You said, this is foreign goods?"
"Um……"
At present, the Qi family has reached the point where they have no shortage of anything. Ordinary gifts basically cannot interest Mrs. Zhou.
Unless you can be more clever than the gifts given by Sun Dacai, otherwise, they are all just carrots and cabbage.
However, this foreign gift from Xiaotong gave her a different feeling.
In short, freshness.
Things are rare and valuable, so Zhou happily accepted them.
Moreover, she kept praising her good granddaughter for being sensible, and her love for her was not in vain.
After laughing for a while, Xiaotong asked: "What was grandma calculating just now? It seems difficult. If it is an ordinary account, my granddaughter can do it for me. If it is more difficult, I can ask my brother to help."
But Mrs. Zhou shook her head and said, "No, no! This is my own plan, grandma, and it is not suitable for others to interfere."
After saying that, she felt that this was a bit unreasonable, so she added: "Grandma, I am getting older, and I don't have many years left to live. I can't have no one to inherit the property under my knees, right?"
I still thought it was something, it turned out to be the distribution of family property!
Think about it, the old lady saves money in her old age and is reluctant to spend it. How could she not have thoughts about her death?
Xiaotong leaned forward and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, a good son doesn't want to divide the family property, and a good girl doesn't want a dowry. Everyone in our family is the best among people, how can we not be independent?"
This is actually true.
As the proverb goes, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so don’t work for your children and grandchildren.
No matter which generation you are from, you must strive to make progress. How can you try to gnaw at your old age?
However, Mrs. Zhou has a different view, "You are living in a good year and don't know the difficulty of borrowing money. Only when your family has savings can you do everything without asking for help."
Love reading books
Okay, okay, everything you said is right!
Seeing her granddaughter nodding in approval, Mrs. Zhou smiled with relief and said: "In the past, I wanted to divide the family property into two parts. The larger end will be reserved for your brother to marry a wife, and the smaller end will be given to you as a dowry."
But as soon as her words changed, she said quietly: "Now, things are a little different. Since your little sister and younger brother were added to the family, I am a little confused about this matter. Tell me, who should have more and who should have more?" How much less?"
This means that the numerator is the same as before, but the denominator has become larger. How should we distribute it?
No matter how you play with it, the per capita possession will become smaller.
Old Mrs. Zhou, whose palms and backs were full of flesh and had a muscle, didn't know who to favor!
Qi Xiaotong smiled happily and said: "I am the eldest, and I will take the lead today to show my status. I will not give any gifts to my future dowry, and my father will make arrangements freely. All the treasures grandma saved will be left to my younger brothers and sisters. I will Don’t take it.”
"Then...what's the point?"
Zhou's face tightened when she heard this, and she said seriously: "I heard from Master Peng that your status is the county head of the royal family. When you leave the cabinet, even the emperor has to accompany you with the dowry. As a grandmother, if I can't hold it in, Don’t they think our Qi family is too stingy? Some money can be saved, but some money cannot be left ambiguous! "
What?
Grandma wants to suppress the emperor?
Not to mention, this idea is really creative!
Then the emperor's son has made so much profit from my Qi family, shouldn't he give something back?
Therefore, it is necessary to stimulate him.
At worst, I'll return the money to grandma after I've gone through the formalities. In this way, I won't be counting on taking advantage of my younger siblings.
