The atmosphere in the car when Nan Li and Xia Junshan were returning home was tense. Neither of the two couples spoke, and a pair of children in the back seat were already asleep.
In the end, it was Xia Junshan who took the initiative to speak.
"Li Li, don't be angry. Today is all a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Nan Li said angrily: "I shouldn't have gone to eat today. What kind of food are you eating? I'm so angry."
Xia Junshan said patiently: "Dad didn't buy the wrong gift on purpose."
Nan Li snorted coldly: "He didn't mean it. He didn't care at all. The same goes for Yan Peng. He just keeps it when he receives a gift. If he insists on making such a fuss, everyone's face will look bad."
Xia Junshan hurriedly explained: "Yan Peng is also kind-hearted and wants to give the extra gifts to Chaochao."
Nan Li had a cold face and said angrily: "It's all the old man's fault. If you want to give a gift, just give it. You have to buy exactly the same gift. Now that it's fine, everyone is unhappy."
Xia Junshan could only act as a peacemaker and said, "Dad also wants to treat everyone equally."
"Why treat everyone equally!" Nan Li was so excited that her voice could not help but rise three points higher. Suddenly she thought of her children sleeping in the back row, so she deliberately lowered her voice.
"The old man is really good. He has to do this kind of superficiality. He treats everyone equally, so it is better to treat them differently."
Xia Junshan swallowed, knowing that his wife already had objections to her father-in-law, so this time she used it as an excuse.
When Nan Jianlong was suffering from cancer, he suddenly filed for divorce from Nan Li's mother. At that time, Nan Li was at the critical moment of the college entrance examination, so the father and daughter had a knot in their hearts.
In recent years, as Nan Jianlong's health improved and he got older, he always wanted to have his children by his side, so he always found excuses to call Nan Li over for dinner.
How could Nan Li go to dinner alone? Nan Jianlong went to Xia Junshan and asked him to persuade Nan Li and bring the whole family to form a bureau.
For the sake of her husband and children, Nan Li reluctantly came to visit.
The reason why Xia Junshan helped Nan Jianlong was partly because he wanted to reconcile the father and his daughter, and the other reason was because Nan Jianlong was his old leader, and Nan Jianlong also contributed to the matchmaking when he married Nan Li.
Therefore, it is impossible for Xia Junshan to reject Nan Jianlong.
It's just that what happened today was really ugly, and the three families were not in a good mood. Ultimately, it was Nan Jianlong's perfunctory gift to Yan Ziyou.
"I'll find a chance to chat with Yan Peng. Don't hold grudges with your dad. His perfunctory gift from Ziyou just shows that he cares about you and Huanhuan Chaochao." Xia Junshan can only try his best now.
smooth things over.
"I don't have any objections to Yan Peng, I just think he was a little strange today. Didn't he just tolerate this kind of thing before?" Nan Li asked.
"So Yan Peng has indeed changed a lot today. He seems to have taken a lot of initiative." Xia Junshan said doubtfully:
"In the past, if Tian Yulan encountered this kind of thing, for Aunt Cai's sake, she would tolerate it as much as she could. Today Yan Peng has no intention of enduring it at all."
Nan Li sighed and said, "If you ask me, I will avoid family banquets like this in the future if possible."
"After all, he is your biological father and my old leader. Besides, the old man also wants Huanhuan Chaochao." Xia Junshan was confused.
"If I continue to eat this kind of food, I will definitely get stomach problems." Nan Li said harshly, but in fact, the anger will subside in a few days.
…………
Wang Gang returned home with his wife and children, looked at the time, and Tian Yulan was about to let Yan Ziyou take a bath and go to bed.
"Ziyou, if you memorize ten more English words, you have to take a shower and go to bed." Tian Yulan said while packing Yan Ziyou's clothes.
Yan Ziyou originally wanted to play for a while before going to bed, but when he heard that he had to memorize words in every possible way, he immediately grimaced.
"It's so late and the efficiency of memorizing words is low. It's better to get up tomorrow morning and memorize them again." Wang Gang said to Yan Ziyou:
"Get ready, go take a shower and go to bed."
"No." Tian Yulan said: "It is best to memorize words at night. Experts say that memory will be invisibly aggravated during sleep."
Wang Gang sneered and said: "Nonsense, that's just memorizing words. If you memorize words, you won't be able to sleep well."
Tian Yulan lost her temper and said, "Can you still be more reliable than experts?"
Wang Gang said: "We agreed before that I will be in charge of Ziyou's studies this month."
Tian Yulan was choked to the point of being speechless, and could only sulk alone.
At this time the doorbell at home rang.
"Who is coming so late?" Wang Gang asked in confusion.
Tian Yulan rolled her eyes and said, "Who else can be there at this time, it must be your parents."
Wang Gang raised his eyebrows, then walked over to open the door, and sure enough he saw an old couple standing at the door.
According to Yan Peng's memory, Wang Gang knew that the old couple were his parents.
"Mom and Dad, why are you here?"
Father Yan laughed and said, "We miss our eldest grandson. Why don't you come here and you are not welcome?"
Yan Ziyou heard grandpa's voice and ran over happily.
"grandparents!"
Father Yan reached over Wang Gang and picked up Yan Ziyou.
"My dear grandson, you have gained a lot of weight." Father Yan was having some difficulty holding Yan Ziyou, but the smile on his face could not be faked.
Yan's mother also walked in with a smile, only Yan Ziyou was in her eyes.
"Ziyou, do you miss your grandparents?"
"I think about it, I think about it every day." Yan Ziyou's mouth felt like honey.
Father Yan carried Yan Ziyou into the house and sat on the sofa, panting slightly.
"Ziyou, how old are you? Don't let grandpa hold you. Be careful of grandpa slipping away." Tian Yulan reminded Yan's father when he saw how struggling he was.
"It's okay, it's okay. My old bones are in good health and I can still hold my grandson." Father Yan said nonchalantly.
Wang Gang closed the door and said to his parents: "Mom and Dad, why didn't you call before you came? We just got home."
Hearing this, Yan's mother glanced at Tian Yulan and said, "Did you go to your mother-in-law's house for dinner again?"
Wang Gang knew that Yan's mother-in-law didn't like Tian Yulan taking Yan Ziyou back to her parents' house for dinner. The root cause was jealousy.
What Yan's mother was worried about was that Yan Ziyou went to her grandmother's house more frequently than to her grandparents' house.
"Mom, what are you carrying in your hand?" Wang Gang deliberately changed the topic to prevent Yan's mother and Tian Yulan from quarreling.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "By the way, your dad and I went to the mall today and bought a few sets of clothes for Ziyou." Yan's mother took out a few shopping bags and said.
"Mom, Ziyou has enough clothes, don't spend any more money." Tian Yulan said politely.
"What does this mean? When the child is growing, I can't wear the clothes I used to wear. What I bought this time are all famous brands, and a set costs several thousand yuan?" Yan's mother said with some wealth.
Yan's father and Yan's mother were among the first batch of people to become rich, so they inevitably had the aura of the nouveau riche, which is why Tian Yulan didn't like them.
"I also bought you a set of clothes, all of which are brand-name goods." Yan's mother took out a bag and handed it to Tian Yulan.
Tian Yulan had some scruples and did not pick him up immediately.
Wang Gang quickly stretched out his hand to take it, and said with a playful smile: "Mom, don't buy us clothes from now on, it's better to discount them!"
Mother Yan couldn't laugh or cry and said: "You are a father, how can you be so out of tune?"
Wang Gang said confidently: "In the eyes of you two elders, I will always be a child, and I still want lucky money during the New Year!"
"You, you, will never grow up!"
Yan's father and Yan's mother couldn't laugh or cry, so they had no time to look at Tian Yulan.
Wang Gang opened the shopping bag and saw a piece of red.
Yan's mother's aesthetics is still stuck in the last century. She always thinks that red and purple clothes are beautiful, but Tian Yulan's usual dressing style is more simple and elegant.
Wang Gang rummaged through the shopping bag, and then asked Yan's mother: "Mom, do you still keep the receipt?"
Yan’s mother asked in confusion: “Why do you want the receipt?”
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Go to the mall to return it and get a discount!"
Mother Yan grabbed the shopping bag with a straight face and said angrily: "If you don't want it, I won't give it to you."
Some things may not matter if the son says it, but if the daughter-in-law says it, it can cause a huge stir.
Wang Gang acted like a fool, and Yan's mother didn't have time to trouble Tian Yulan.
Tian Yulan sat aside, still wondering what happened to her husband today. He always defended her. This was the same in Nan Jianlong, and it was the same in front of his parents.
Father Yan and Mother Yan sat for a while, mainly looking at their eldest grandson, and then prepared to leave.
"By the way, I'll give you this month's money." Before Yan's mother left, she took out a bulging envelope and put it on the coffee table.
"Your father and I have discussed it. Ziyou will be in fifth grade at the beginning of school, and her schoolwork is getting heavier and heavier. You also need to enroll in some cram schools. From now on, we will add ten thousand yuan a month, giving you a total of twenty thousand yuan."
Wang Gang looked at the envelope on the coffee table, then at Tian Yulan's darkening face, and said:
"Dad, Mom, our salary is enough. Don't give us any more money in the future."
Tian Yulan was shocked. Although she didn't like the money given by Yan's father and Yan's mother, she really didn't want it because their family's monthly expenses were indeed not enough.
"I don't know your salary yet." Yan's mother said, "The cram school Ziyou attends is not cheap."
Wang Gang pushed the money to Yan's mother and said, "In addition to working, I also invest a little, which is enough to spend."
Yan's father, Yan's mother, Tian Yulan, and even Yan Ziyou all looked at Wang Gang in surprise.
