Chapter 90: The End
Xiao Hongyan stayed in the capital for two nights and went
back first. Wang Licheng and the others played for a few more days before
returning. Started a shopping spree two days before going back, not only to buy
what they needed but also to bring gifts for friends and family.
After returning from the capital, Wang Licheng signed up his
daughter and returned to Jincheng only after she entered school in different
classes.
On the night he returned to Jincheng, the two of them almost
shot each other. At the last moment, Wang Licheng wanted to escape, but Xiao
Hongyan hugged him tightly.
"Are you still concerned? It's not your fault that I
said that." He does this every time, clearly, it's not his fault. If it
weren't for her work, that baby would have been born soon. It's her fault that
she didn't leave a male for the Wang family.
"Okay, don't blame me, let go first, I'll get the
condom." At this time, if he can pull away, he won't be human.
He also endured it for a long time, because of her abortion,
he has been blaming himself, and he thought that if he didn't need her, there
would be no accidents.
When the two returned from Jincheng to celebrate National
Day; the eldest sister Wang Chunmei mentioned that her mother, Liu Fengzhen,
was about to turn 70, and asked if everyone would like to celebrate her 70th
birthday.
Wang Chunmei brought it up when everyone was there because
she wanted to know what her younger brother Wang Licheng thought so that we
could discuss it together.
The younger brother has few chances to go back to Pucheng,
if I don't bring it up now, it may be too late when we meet again.
The matter of celebrating their mother's birthday can only
be handled by Wang Licheng, his son, and his opinion is the most important.
Before Wang Licheng said anything, Xiao Hongyan spoke first.
"We, husband and wife, definitely want to celebrate my
mother's birthday. It's just that I work in Jincheng and can't come back often.
I need my sisters to help us celebrate the birthday." As a
daughter-in-law, she must first express her approval for this matter, and
giving on Mother-in-law's 70th birthday is also very appropriate.
This matter should have been discussed by the husband and
wife. She was in Jincheng, and Wang Licheng was with her in Jincheng. In the
final analysis, this matter was on the heads of the three sisters.
"What Hongyan said is also what I want to say. Let's
settle down the date for the next few days and then we must have a grand
birthday for mom."
The mother's birthday is set for New Year's Day. At that
time, everyone has time, and several juniors will come back to celebrate the
old birthday star. Wang Licheng also joked that anyone who has a boyfriend and
girlfriend can bring them here.
Wu Ling of the elder sister's family is 25 years old this
year, and I heard that she will get married on May 1st next year.
"Sister, I won't talk about the others. Lingling's
wedding date is set, why don't you show us your son-in-law?"
The youngest son of the eldest sister's family, Wu Chao, is
23 years old, and the second sister's family, Yang Bo, is 24 years old. Even
little Peng Jian who played with him when he first came here is 20 years old,
and they are all old in a blink of an eye.
"Call her yourself; she may not listen to me now."
The children can't help it when they grow up, and the daughter will listen to
the husband and wife of the younger brother.
"Okay, let Hongyan call." Asking the teacher to
call her, he thought it was a good idea.
Yang Bo stayed in Jiangcheng after graduation and had a
girlfriend, as they said when they talked on the phone last time.
After the mediation at the police station at that time, Wang
Licheng had a talk with Yang Bo.
"Your father is your father, and you are you. Don't be
burdened. It is not easy for your mother to raise you. You must be filial to
her. No matter what happens in the future, if you don't want to talk to your
mother, you will come to your uncle."
After that time, they had more contacts, and Yang Bo was
willing to tell him about this uncle if there was anything.
The date was set, and the hotel was ready accordingly. Wang
Licheng booked a noon session at the best four-star hotel in Pucheng on New
Year's Day with a phone call.
The exact number of relatives and friends who will come is
still uncertain. What he meant was that guests who wished for their mother's
birthday could eat wine, and no gift money would be charged for the banquet.
When he and Xiao Hongyan got married, they didn't talk about
receiving gifts for drinking and drinking. Everyone came here to celebrate and
join in the fun. In these years, as long as they eat wine, they have to give
red envelopes. On my daughter's 10th birthday, someone gave her a 10,000 Yuan
red envelope, which was finally returned. From then on, no red envelopes will
be accepted from people who do not know each other. Even if they do know each
other, those who exceed 500 yuan will not be accepted.
It's not that they are careful; it's that they are afraid
that someone will ask to come over to do things because they have given high
gift money.
As Wang Licheng's son, it is impossible for him to do
nothing when his mother celebrates her birthday. After November, he would come
back every week to help his sisters prepare for the banquet. One week before
his birthday, he came back early to do the final confirmation work.
They had agreed before that he would come back early, and
she would come back on the 31st. She was a little caught off guard by the
sudden issuance of documents.
"I still have some work to do here, and I may not be
able to go back until night." The document was issued too suddenly, and
there was no word about it before. It may still be far away from Jiangcheng,
and there are no acquaintances there.
"Then come back tomorrow morning! Don't go at
night." It's not safe to drive at night, and all the things on his side
have been done, so she can just arrive before the banquet tomorrow.
"Will it be bad to go back tomorrow?" He didn't
say anything, for fear that his mother-in-law and aunt-in-law would have ideas.
It's true that she didn't do a good job these years, and she was all focused on
work and didn't take good care of the family.
As soon as Wang Licheng returned to Pucheng, she received a
transfer document. On January 4, she will go to Jiangcheng to take up a post.
She has been dealing with the handover work this week, so busy that she doesn't
have time to talk to him on the phone, and hangs up after only a few words
every time.
"It's nothing bad. Everyone knows that you are busy
with work, so no one will say anything." Several juniors will arrive
tomorrow morning, but he will be alone in the empty room again tonight.
A lot of people came to the house early in the morning, and
my mother also changed into new clothes. Xiao Hongyan invited someone to come
over and make this suit for her mother.
The top is a Tang suit with a dark red buckle pattern, and
the bottom is black pants. My mother is relatively thin, and she looks
energetic and good-looking when she wears them.
"Why are you here so early? Have you all had
breakfast?" Mom and sisters are in the living room, there is no one in the
kitchen, and the table is clean. I woke up so early and didn't eat breakfast,
and no one made breakfast. What's the situation?
"Are you hungry? Your eldest brother-in-law and third
brother-in-law went to buy something early. I said I would do it, but they
insisted on sitting in the living room and waiting for me to do it. Your
brother-in-law has been out for more than ten minutes and hasn't come back
yet."
The daughter said that today is her birthday, so she can’t
do anything. Now she can eat what she bought outside without doing anything and
what will everyone eat if she doesn't do it at night?
"Mom, you just listen to your sisters today. Just sit
still. I'll call my brother-in-law."
At eleven o'clock, the whole family went to the hotel
together, and all four of his nephews came back. Wu Ling brought her boyfriend.
When she came back, she asked where my aunt was. Xiao Hongyan's car was still
on the road.
This time the driver knew that he was going to send the
secretary back to Pucheng's home. He listened to Wang Licheng very much and
drove very slowly, and it was the last time to deliver the secretary. Stand on
the last post and make no mistakes.
Xiao Hongyan called Wang Licheng a few times, also
intentionally telling the driver, but he still drove slowly and said it was
Wang Licheng's order.
Wang Licheng also said that driving slowly is not in a hurry;
safety is the most important thing. It was already half past eleven when she
arrived at the hotel, and some people were already sitting in the lobby.
"It's entirely your fault. I can't even command my
driver." They set off at 8:30. The usual three-hour journey took nearly four
hours today.
"Okay! Wu Ling has been asking you for a long time, but
she brought her boyfriend, let's go and see."
Not only Wu Ling brought her boyfriend, but Yang Bo and Wu
Chao also brought their girlfriends. Wang Licheng handed three 5,000 yuan red
envelopes prepared in advance to Xiao Hongyan. When meeting for the first time,
as an uncle and aunt, you should express something.
"Auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are
still so young and beautiful." She still remembers the things that her
aunt asked her back then. It was just luck that my aunt had such a beautiful
woman miss him all the time. And let his aunt take the initiative to pursue
him.
At that time, there were not many women who pursued love as
bravely as my aunt, but her uncle was also a good-looking talent, otherwise, my
aunt would not have been thinking about it.
"Lingling's mouth is still so sweet. You're about to
get married. I'm too young. I'm old." She was still a little girl in the
first grade, but she started to grow taller in the third grade, and now she is
taller than her.
"Uncle and aunt don't look old at all; they can compete
with entertainment stars." When her boyfriend saw his uncle and aunt, he
didn't believe that they were elders.
Uncle and aunt have always dressed in trendy clothes, they
are very fashionable people, and they don't look like a family with her parents
who are old and antique. Today, my aunt is wearing a black windbreaker and
looks like a strong woman. It is impossible to imagine that she is still the mayor
of the city.
While Wu Ling dragged her boyfriend to chat with Xiao
Hongyan, Wu Chao and Yang Bo also brought their girlfriends to find them.
"Don't surround me! Have you all paid grandma a
birthday?"
She wanted to help but was surrounded by these juniors. Even
the children of the eldest brother, second sister, and third brother gathered
around, those who didn't know thought she was a birthday star.
She took the children to her mother-in-law's side, and her
daughter was always by her mother-in-law's side, and it was still her daughter
who was well-behaved and sensible.
"Mom, I wish you good luck like Donghai Shoubi
Nanshan."
"I'm back, are you tired? Xixi is going to pour a cup
of hot tea for your mother."
Wang Xi not only poured the hot tea obediently but also
poured what Wang Licheng brought here.
My mother was surrounded by her brothers and sisters and
couldn't get away.
"What are you kids still doing here? Go back to your
seats and sit down, the banquet is about to start."
"Dear guests, I am very glad that you can come to my
mother's 70th birthday..."
After drinking three times, the guests are all gone. Wang
Licheng called the photographer from the studio. He contacted the photographer
in advance to take pictures of them. Today, they are the most organized, and
they took a family portrait as a souvenir.
For this reason, he also greeted his brother-in-law in
advance and asked them to drink less alcohol, and they only drank plain water
when they drank.
The men didn't drink much, but Xiao Hongyan drank a little,
and her face turned slightly red.
After the photo was taken, the daughter and mother went back
first, while he and Xiao Hongyan stayed to pay the bill. When leaving the
hotel, Xiao Hongyan suddenly took his hand, and both of them stopped.
"Licheng, my transfer document is here." She was a
little drunk, boldly holding his hand and standing at the hotel door looking at
him.
Wang Licheng shook her hand tightly and looked into her
eyes. "When are you leaving?"
"It’s the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
P.S. This is the end of the this novel although a few extra chapter are left. Thank you to those that were with me on this journey.
