Tang Jinglin's father was able to stand out from the many suitors because this man was not a pretty boy. He had been running business outside for many years. He had dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and had a heroic spirit. Zhao Fanghua liked this.
"Hello grandma!"
Shen Xiao said hello respectfully.
"Hello Mr. Hans, hello Sister Cui!"
Shen Xiao said hello one by one.
"Sit down quickly, Xiaocui, go make tea."
Zhao Fanghua's spirit has improved a lot. She drank the spiritual spring given by Tang Niannian these days, and her health is much better than before.
Sister Cui made tea and handed it to Shen Xiao with a smile. She looked at him with a very kind look. She had never been married, had no children, and no relatives at home. Her feelings for Tang Niannian were just like her own granddaughter. At this time She looked at Shen Xiao the same way she looked at her grandson-in-law.
"Thank you Sister Cui."
Shen Xiao took the tea, put it on the table, and took out a gift. It was a beautiful piece of red jade, the size of a fist, and dazzlingly red. He got it from performing a mission in a neighboring country.
"Grandma, this is our first time meeting you, and this is for you!"
Shen Xiao handed the red jade hands to Zhao Fanghua. Ever since he knew that Nian Nian liked jade, the tasks he had taken recently were basically from neighboring countries, in order to collect jade.
Zhao Fanghua's eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't put it down while holding the red jade in her hand: "How did you know that I like this kind of shiny things? It's so beautiful. Xiao Shen, you have such a good taste, thank you!"
She loved all gems, all shiny things, anything valuable.
"Niannian also likes shiny things."
Shen Xiao had a smile in his eyes. It seemed that Nian Nian not only looked like grandma, but also had similar hobbies.
Zhao Fanghua smiled so hard that her eyebrows were crooked. Although she was over sixty, there was a girlish look on her face. She smiled and said: "My granddaughter is just like me. Nian Nian, I have collected a lot of gems and I will give them to you in the future!"
"OK!"
Tang Niannian accepted it without any politeness.
Zhao Fanghua became even happier. After playing with the red jade for a while, she asked Sister Cui to put it away. Shen Xiao also brought a gift to Sister Cui. It was a gold bracelet, or pure gold, which Tang Niannian had just taken out from the space.
Sister Cui doesn't like gems. Like Mrs. Tang, she only likes gold.
"Oh, I have a gift too, thank you Xiao Shen."
Sister Cui also likes gifts. They are heavy and heavy.
Mr. Hans also had a gift, which was a jade snuff bottle. The old foreign man liked to collect these gadgets. He was also very satisfied with the gift and happily accepted it.
"Xiao Shen, keep it."
Zhao Fanghua took out a thick red envelope with five thousand US dollars in it. When meeting for the first time, the elders must give it as a meeting gift.
Hans also gave a red envelope, and Sister Cui also gave it, but the amount was not that large, but it was still quite a lot.
The red envelopes given by the three people totaled more than 10,000 US dollars.
Two days ago, they also gave Tang Niannian such a thick red envelope. The combined red envelopes of the two of them would make them rich men.
After Shen Xiao received the red envelope, he gave it to Tang Niannian. He had developed a habit of letting Niannian take care of all the money he earned.
Zhao Fanghua and Sister Cui both showed gratified eyes, which was better than 90% of men, which was very good.
"Nian Nian, are you really not going to my place? My company needs you to manage it urgently!"
Zhao Fanghua has not given up yet. Since she fell ill, she has handed over the company to outsiders, but she wants to give the company to her granddaughters. Tang Changchuan and Tang Changfeng are men. If they can work hard themselves, she will also give their two grandsons a sum of money.
But she wanted to leave the company and most of the property to her granddaughter.
Although she loves all three grandchildren, Zhao Fanghua has deeper feelings for Tang Niannian.
Maybe it was just the fate of her eyes. The first time she saw Tang Niannian, she felt extremely friendly.
"Grandma, I don't want to go abroad just yet. Let your eldest brother take care of your company. He is capable enough." Tang Niannian advised.
Although Zhao Fanghua has her spiritual spring and will not die prematurely, her body has been damaged to the core and it is impossible to recover to the past. She can only take care of it slowly, and the old lady is old and cannot work too hard.
Zhao Fanghua stopped persuading and agreed to Tang Niannian's plan.
"When I go back, I will hand over the company. I want to live in Shanghai for the last time, and the fallen leaves will return to their roots. When I was young, I couldn't understand this feeling. Now that I am old, I finally understand, but time flies so fast! "
Zhao Fanghua sighed, looking melancholy.
When she was young, she only yearned for freedom and wanted to see the world outside. She even looked down on the people who stayed in her hometown, like a frog at the bottom of a well, without any knowledge.
It was for this reason that she and Tang Jinglin's father separated. She persuaded the man to move his business abroad. At that time, wars were raging in the country, warlords were separatist, and all kinds of foreigners were occupying the land of China to show off their power. Such an environment was really not suitable for doing business. .
But the man firmly opposed it, and said that even if the Tang family died, they would die in their homeland and would never go to live in foreign lands. The two argued over this, and the relationship became more and more tense.
Zhao Fanghua sighed lightly, she now understood the man somewhat.
But the Tang family eventually went abroad. She had met Dafang's children abroad. Although their lives were still rich, they were far less luxurious than the Tang family had once been. The arrogant Dafang wife had arrived. After going abroad, I became unaccustomed to the local environment and died of illness within two years.
At that time, she had established a foothold abroad, and even helped Dafang. She also found out that her son had stayed in Shanghai, but Dafang did not bring her son out.
She also learned that the stubborn man's factory was bombed because he refused to succumb to the Japanese. The man was so angry that he distributed his inheritance before his death and asked Mrs. Dafang to take the children abroad to escape the disaster. .
A serious-faced man seemed to appear in front of Zhao Fanghua, saying harsh words to her: "If you leave, don't come back again!"
This man's words really came true. She has not set foot in the past decades. This is probably God's punishment for her, right?
"When I boarded the plane, he rushed over to try to save me and said that I would definitely regret it. I said at the time that I would never regret it!"
Zhao Fanghua said this without thinking. Although she didn't name him, everyone knew that this 'he' should be Tang Niannian's biological grandfather.
"Then do you regret it now?" Tang Niannian asked.
Zhao Fanghua shook his head and said softly: "I don't regret it. If I don't leave, I will always be his canary. I loved him, but I love freedom more!"
Even though she suffered a lot and almost lost her life in the first few years after going abroad, she never regretted it.
She would rather be outside and be hit by the storm than live in a warm and safe golden cage and be an obedient canary without sovereignty.
"Besides freedom, I also love money!"
Tang Niannian echoed seriously.
Freedom and money, neither can be thrown away.
Zhao Fanghua was stunned for a moment, laughing so hard that tears came out. He stretched out his hand and stroked her head gently, "I thought so too, so when I left your grandfather, I asked for a large sum of money."
She spent the best years of her life with that man and gave birth to a son for him. It was not too much to ask for a sum of money. Zhao Fanghua did not feel materialistic at all. She was just more pragmatic and loved herself more than others.
