In previous years, Zhang Yansheng would at most visit his great-aunt's house during the Spring Festival. As for his other relatives, they would always visit the Zhang family.
This year was the first time that Zhang Yansheng had to visit the Yue family.
First, Yue Song came to visit his great-aunt on the second day of the Lunar New Year. This was also the first time the two of them had visited each other since they had announced their relationship last summer.
"Your house is so lively." He said to his great-aunt, "My grandfather envies this the most, but we don't have many people in our family, so we can't help it."
Yue Song was just talking along with the atmosphere and didn't have any other meaning. However, when other elders heard this kind of talk, they would always half-jokingly say something like, "Give birth to a few more in the future." Only Grandma was a different kind of Grandma, so she didn't say anything.
She only said, "Now that we're all grown up, we'll have a headache from the quarreling of the younger ones for the first few years."
Everyone laughed.
Even Zhang Qi's mouth twitched. Only Zhao Lanfen didn't laugh.
Zhang Yu quietly nudged her with his foot, and only then did she manage to squeeze out a smile.
However, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart. Whenever she saw Yue Song, she would feel uncomfortable.
It was clearly their Qi Qi who knew Yue Song first, and it was clearly Qi Qi who was interested in Yue Song first …
However, Zhang Huan still asked, "Qi Qi's boyfriend isn't coming to visit?"
Zhang Qi hurriedly said, "Second Uncle, I don't have a boyfriend."
Zhang Huan was surprised, "What about Luo Ming's youngest son from before? Did you guys break up? "
"We didn't break up." Zhang Qi firmly denied, "He's not my boyfriend to begin with. He's just a classmate."
"Tsk, young people. If they get along well, they'll hang out together." Zhao Lanfen casually said, "It's not like we can talk about boyfriends. Don't be so feudal. "
"Sister-in-law is right." Zhang Huan smiled and turned to Yue Song, "Accompany me and your uncle for a drink later."
Yue Song agreed immediately.
Zhao Lanfen felt even more stifled.
It was just a relationship. Whether or not they would get married in the future was another matter. What did he mean by 'your uncle'? Why did he have to call him so intimately?
The Old Madam also smiled. "Qi Qi, you should hurry up and bring your boyfriend to see Grandma. You're still the older sister."
Zhang Qi said angrily, "Grandma ~ I'm in the middle of a transition period. From school to the company, I just want to focus on my work. Dating will distract me, so I'll talk about it later."
Zhang Heling was a junior high student now. He had grown up and was obedient. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes secretly.
She then looked at her sister, who was sitting next to her Brother Xiaoyue. Their fingers were intertwined, and it seemed like they didn't hear anything. The two of them were whispering to each other.
There was a smile at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with affection.
Ah, I really want to fall in love ~
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Yansheng went to the Yue Clan. Indeed, compared to the Zhang Clan, the Yue Clan seemed cold and cheerless.
Yue Song's parents ran away as soon as they saw Zhang Yansheng on New Year's Day. However, they came back during the Spring Festival. They had to come back during this festival. They couldn't let the Old Master celebrate the festival alone.
In a family of only four people, they didn't even have many relatives because they had only one child for three generations. Yue Song's Grandma's relatives had also passed away early, so they didn't have any contact with her. The only people they had contact with were her uncle's family.
The Xue Clan's eldest uncle and Xue Xintong had also come. In addition to Zhang Yansheng, they added some liveliness to the Yue Clan. However, they didn't see Yue Song's legendary good-for-nothing cousin.
"Now you know why this brat always looked cold and cheerless in the past." Xue Xintong said to Zhang Yansheng, "He and the Old Master have been staring at each other since we were young. The house was empty, and there wasn't anyone there. Anyone would have grown into a popsicle."
"I heard it!" The Old Master said, "You brat, you're talking bad about me!"
Xue Xintong complained, "You're talking nonsense. I wouldn't dare. If you want to say something, you should say it behind my back. "
Everyone laughed.
After Zhang Yansheng finished laughing, he asked Xue Xintong, "When is Sister giving birth?"
Xue Xintong rubbed her belly, her eyes revealing a satisfied light, "Wuyue."
Uncle Xue glanced over with a helpless expression.
Yue Song's parents looked at each other and didn't say anything.
Zhang Yansheng sensed that something was wrong. On the way home, he asked Yue Song, "What's wrong with Sister Xue? You don't look too good."
Yue Song shrugged, "It's nothing. The old people are more conservative."
He paused and said, "My sister isn't married, and we don't know who the father of the child is. She went to M Country to buy sperm."
Zhang Yansheng remembered that the year she died, there was a heated discussion on the Internet about an unmarried woman who went to M Country to buy sperm. However, she didn't pay attention to Xue Xintong. She only showed her face in the media as an entrepreneur. She didn't see any reports about such a private matter.
It was quite refreshing for something like this to happen to someone who was related to her.
She asked, "Is Sister a celibate?"
"She's just too busy." Yue Song said, "And at her age, with her status, dating is too dependent on fate."
It was really too difficult for a successful woman with experience, age, and a rich family to find someone to date in China.
Not to mention Xue Xintong's family background, even in the ordinary workplace, some strong women who worked hard for their careers and had already reached a certain level, it was very difficult for them to get married.
This was because the beauty standards of the Chinese were on the younger side. They were inclined towards young women and not mature women. They were inclined towards gentle women and not strong women.
Of course, this was only possible if these strong women were interested in them.
However, Xue Xintong's pregnancy was another source of drama for the Xue family.
Xue Xintong's eldest brother was addicted to gambling and drugs. He was basically a useless person, so Uncle Xue handed the Xue family's business empire to Xue Xintong to take over.
In the early years, Xue Xintong's eldest brother would still make a fuss and fight for the family fortune. However, he had thought it through in recent years.
"She's not married, and she doesn't have children. In the future, this family fortune will belong to my son sooner or later!" he said proudly. "She's just working for my son."
This eldest brother couldn't do anything else, but he was good at giving birth. He gave birth to four children in one go, two sons and two daughters. He felt that he had made a huge contribution to the Xue family's bloodline.
A great contributor!
He often said this, and the child learned it. One day, he said it in front of Xue Xintong and others: "You're just working for me. The Xue family is mine."
At that time, Xue Xintong only smiled and lovingly patted his silly nephew's head.
In the blink of an eye, she flew to M Country and bought sperm to get pregnant.
She even said to Uncle Xue: "Don't worry, it's black hair and black eyes."
At that time, Uncle Xue's feelings were very complicated. In his heart, although he had given up on his son, he still had feelings for his grandson. He felt that in the future, the family fortune would be in the hands of his grandson, and it would be a good way to go.
However, Xue Xintong's move completely overturned his original plan. This time, there was another round of chaos.
For the sake of the family's peace, Uncle Xue sent his son and daughter-in-law abroad. That was why they were nowhere to be seen during the Spring Festival.
"Beautifully done!" Zhang Yansheng's eyes were shining as he spoke.
Yue Song couldn't help but laugh.
"In any case, my uncle has accepted this matter now. As for what he thinks in his heart, that's none of our business. "He said," From our family's side, we definitely want my sister to be able to protect her own interests. No one wants her to work hard for the rest of her life and make wedding clothes for others. In any case, my mother firmly supports my sister. My mother has never liked my cousin. "
"Of course we have to support my sister." Zhang Yansheng said, "Why should we let that kind of person pick the peaches?"
In April, Zhang Yansheng celebrated his 19th birthday. In May, Xue Xintong gave birth to a boy.
In June, the Xue family held a very grand one-month-old celebration for this child. Zhang Huan and Zhang Yansheng were both invited to attend.
At the banquet, it could be seen that Uncle Xue's attitude seemed to have changed. He loved this newborn child very much, as if it was his first time becoming a grandfather. Moreover, when he held the child, he did indeed call himself "Grandfather." This child didn't have a father. His surname was Xue. Although he was a maternal grandson, he directly raised him as a grandson.
At the banquet, Zhang Yansheng also heard someone whispering that this child didn't have a father. She coldly shot a glance over. The person who was talking felt her gaze and stopped talking. After all, there were too many people, and they didn't know who was related to who. There was no need to make enemies.
Zhang Huan reservedly exchanged greetings with Yue Song's parents.
Xue Xintong's mother had passed away a few years ago due to illness. As her youngest aunt who was very close to her, Yue Song's mother had returned to China in April to take care of her.
Yue Song's parents and Zhang Huan were meeting for the first time. As the boy's parents, they were more enthusiastic. Zhang Huan's reservedness was also reasonable, and everyone chatted happily.
On the way home, Zhang Huan said to Zhang Yansheng, "Xiao Yue's parents are living like gods. There's Old Master Yue above, and Xiao Yue below. They don't have to 'worry' about anything. "
"If you're jealous, you can also retire," Zhang Yansheng said.
"Retire, my ass." Zhang Huan said, "If I retire, what will the three of you do? Go eat the northwest wind. Let me tell you, Qiqi is now by your grandma's side, and she's doing quite well. Aiya, I'm so anxious. Why did you just enter university! Hurry up and graduate early. "
"Who told you to give birth to me later?" Zhang Yansheng said, "Blame me?"
"Besides, my grandma is still very healthy. What do you want me to fight with Sister Qiqi over? You and Uncle are still here, so it's not up to me to fight with Sister Qiqi. "Zhang Yansheng said," The real fight should be between you and Uncle. If I want to fight, I won't fight with Sister Qiqi. Shouldn't I fight with Zhang Shuocheng? "
"What nonsense are you saying!" Zhang Huan said angrily, "What's there to fight over between siblings? As an older sister, shouldn't you love and protect your younger siblings? Don't worry, Dad will clear up the family assets in the future. You don't have to fight over them. Everyone is a loving family. "
"You make it sound as if I don't know what's going on. You don't have to worry about that. My grandmother knows what she's doing. What's more, if my grandmother really wants to choose someone to be her successor, it's not up to you and me to decide. "Zhang Yansheng returned his words back to him.
"Nonsense again. Your uncle and I won't fight over them. We're also brothers. Let me tell you, in our family, there won't be any falling out over the inheritance. " Zhang Huan made a solemn vow. "Dad and your uncle will set a good example for you. In the future, you, Hehe, and Shuoshuo have to do the same."
Zhang Yansheng also knew that he was used to fighting for favor. She had heard from her grandma that Zhang Huan had been like this since he was young.
Of course, fighting for favor in front of Old Madam would undoubtedly be beneficial to the distribution of the inheritance in the future, so it couldn't be said out loud.
Zhang Qi had the advantage of age, so he entered the family business earlier than Zhang Yansheng. This was a natural thing.
However, the Zhang family had three generations under the same roof. Unlike the Xue family, where the siblings fought over the inheritance to such an extent, the Zhang family was peaceful. Zhang Yansheng went to school steadily, one step at a time.
In the blink of an eye, it was another Spring Festival and another birthday. Zhang Yansheng was twenty years old.
This was the legal age for women to get married according to the country's regulations.
