It's already the 21st century, and I just found the imperial seal

My cousin is getting married on the 2nd of next month?
As the saying goes, there is no coincidence in the world. Su Yu immediately felt that there was something fishy about this matter!

Without changing his expression, Su Yu slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road and asked, "Mom, have uncle and aunt left?"

"not yet!"

Pang Yue'e said, "I just drove back to my hometown with your father, and I will come to our house to have dinner and spend the night."

"Who is the cousin you are talking about?"

Su Yu asked: "I remember there are six children in my uncle's family, right?"

"It's too far away, and I only see it once every few years."

Pang Yue'e was not very clear either, "Anyway, it's either the fourth or fifth son getting married!"

Why is it either the fourth or the fifth?

Because the eldest, second and third sons are all married.

And the sixth child is a boy!
"Mom, I'm not going back today."

Su Yu thought for a moment and said, "Please ask my uncle which cousin of mine is getting married? And where is she getting married to? It would be best if you can also write down the man's name."

Pang Yue'e nodded and said, "I'll ask your father later. He knows better than me."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yu slowly started the car.

He was not very familiar with his uncle's family, but his father grew up playing in the mud with them.

But later, my uncle couldn't find a wife locally, so he married into Lincheng and became someone else's son-in-law.

Lincheng is already in another province, more than 700 kilometers away from Furong City.

This distance was really too far for the 1990s.

There is also the matter of son-in-law who lives with his wife's wife. Nine out of ten of them have no choice but to suffer all kinds of grievances in their wife's home.

He seldom came back in the first few years, and later on he only came back once when there was something going on.

Su Yu couldn’t remember when was the last time he came back?
It was either five years ago or six years ago.

And unfortunately, his uncle and aunt had given birth to five daughters.

What is the purpose of recruiting a live-in son-in-law?

It’s because I want to keep my daughter at home and carry on the family line.

It was not until the sixth that a boy was born.

With six children and six mouths to feed, the already poor family was even poorer.

Fortunately, as the children grew up and started working to earn money, the situation at home has improved a lot.

Wait until it's a little bigger.

According to my mother's joke, in the past, marriages did not require dowries, and having a daughter was a loss-making thing.

Daughters are very popular nowadays. The dowry for one daughter is only 100,000 yuan, and for five daughters it is 500,000 yuan.

In addition, during the holidays, each daughter and son-in-law gets something. How can life be difficult?
Not only are the uncle and aunt better off, but their youngest son is also better off.

With five sisters and brothers-in-law protecting him, this brother-in-law is like a fish in water.

Be a little more obedient and less troublesome, and you won’t have to worry about your house or car.

It was just that Su Yu and several other children from his uncle's family had only seen him a few times when they were young, so they were not very familiar with him and their memories of him had long been fuzzy.

Moreover, after so many years, everyone has grown up and their appearance has changed a lot.

When I was a child, I was dominated by my parents. Even if I didn’t want to come to a strange place where I was unfamiliar with the people, I would be forced to go.

When they grow up, they are not familiar with this place and no one wants to come here.

For my uncle, all the memories of his youth are here. Facing this place where he was born and raised, he wants to come back all the time.

As the old saying goes, fallen leaves return to their roots.

But he is a live-in son-in-law.

Where are his roots?

On the side, Pang Xinyi made small talk, "Cousin, someone invited you to have a drink?"

"Ok!"

Su Yu nodded. "The one she's getting married to is a cousin of mine who is within the fifth degree of mourning. Her grandfather and my grandfather are brothers, and the family lineage is passed down from the same ancestor."

"It's just that her family lives in Lincheng, and I only met her twice when I was a child, so I'm not that familiar with her!"

Pang Xinyi asked: "Then are you going to eat the wine bowl?"

Su Yu shook his head. "I'll make a decision after your aunt calls me back."

He didn't really want to visit these relatives who he hadn't seen for hundreds of years.

In the past, when the eldest, second, and third sons of my uncle’s family got married, my parents would go there themselves.

In the past, you always gave two months’ notice in advance. Why are you only telling me now when the time is almost up?
His family owns a small supermarket with an annual revenue of 500,000 yuan. His family is wealthy and is a well-off family.

They are considered to be relatively respectable among all the relatives in the family, so many relatives like their family and love to interact with them.

Why did his cousin Pang Xinyi love to come to his house and follow him around since she was a child?

Isn’t it because his family has some money, so there is meat on the table for every meal?
In fact, it has not been many years since the people of Long Country had enough food to eat.

As for having meat on the table every meal?
Not much to say about this.

As far as he knows, there are still many people who don't eat meat for half a month.

It’s not that I don’t have money, it’s that I can’t bear to spend it.

Why can't you let go?

Because you are not rich enough!
They want to save the money to buy a car and a house for their son and prepare a dowry.

Working on the land is one thing, but picking food from one's mouth is another.

Even when children have their own families and are married, parents still want to share more of the burden with them.

In fact, the meat is not expensive, and it is typical that you can eat it without any bitterness.

But what these older generations don’t know is that most of their children spend money lavishly outside, and a cup of milk tea or a snack is enough for the family’s food for several days.

Su Yu didn't really condemn them, he just wanted there to be as many of them as possible.

Money is only money when it is spent, and it becomes economy when it circulates.

With the improvement of the overall economic environment, everyone has more opportunities to make money.

Of course, his Bobo Chicken, hotpot restaurant, and milk tea shop will not have to worry about business then.

Let’s get back to the topic. Let’s take his uncle’s family as an example. They have been farmers all their lives, have never seen the world, and their family is very poor.

When Pang Xinyi came to his house as a child, she cried and refused to go back because she had meat for every meal and lots of snacks.
I want to take my cousin's surname and become the daughter of my elder aunt and uncle.

It was only in recent years that my uncle's family began to live a better life by raising native chickens and contracting tea trees.

I had no capital at the time, so my mother took the initiative to borrow 300,000 yuan from me.

But the money has already been repaid.

No one asks the poor in the downtown area, and the rich has distant relatives in the mountains.

In fact, everyone understands this principle.

If you have money and ability, everyone will like to play with you, love you and kiss you.

Because I have no money and no ability, everyone avoids me and has not been in touch with me for decades.

Therefore, whenever his relatives who went to other places came back to his hometown, they would take the initiative to visit his house and stay and eat at his house.

My parents are also very hospitable and they always treat visiting relatives with good wine and food.

But Su Yu is not familiar with them, and probably only knows his parents' generation.

When the older generation is gone, these relatives become strangers. If they meet on the street, they might even fight without you noticing.

When we arrived at Gu Jie's villa, Nuomi was playing table tennis on the lawn. When he saw his owner coming back, he immediately came up, wagging his tail.

"Wang Wang-"

Pang Xinyi hadn't been here for a long time. She looked at the puppy curiously, "Where are Da Huang and Niu Niu?"

"Da Huang and Niuniu are in Mei County."

Su Yu said: "This is the cub born to Da Huang and Niu Niu."

"Just one child?"

Pang Xinyi smiled and picked up the well-behaved puppy, "Isn't that too little?"

Su Yu said: "I gave birth to nine, and gave the rest away."

"what?"

Pang Xinyi was surprised again, "How could she have so many children?"

Su Yu was amused, "So do you think it's too little or too much?"

"I think four or five is normal, and six or seven is OK."

Pang Xinyi pouted, "Nine is a bit scary. It reminds me of the nine princes competing for the throne."

"You've watched too much TV."

Su Yu smiled and shook his head, "I've given birth to nine sons!"

"Ha ha--"

Pang Xinyi smiled and said, "That's about right!"

As she spoke, she gently teased the puppy, "It's so cute, it has inherited the characteristics of its father and mother perfectly."

“It’s called sticky rice.”

Su Yu said: "You call it, it knows."

"Sticky rice!"

Pang Xinyi shouted twice in succession, "Nuomi!"

"Wang Wang-"

"Wang Wang-"

Nuomi also wagged its tail and responded twice in a baby voice.

"so cute!"

Pang Xinyi couldn't let go of the puppy and directly lifted it up, "Cousin, please give it to me. I will take it home to raise it."

"I sent the other eight puppies away, and your cousin Gu Jie cried for a while."

Su Yu smiled and said, "If I give this to you again, she will fight me to death!" Pang Xinyi stuck out her tongue and said quickly, "Then I don't want it."

She is just very playful and wants anything that looks fun.

If she really took it back, she wouldn't know where to keep it.
When they entered the villa, the nanny came up to them and greeted them with a smile: "Mr. Su, Miss Biao, you are back."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Sister Wu, please help me squeeze two glasses of juice and bring me the car key of the BMW 7 Series."

Wu Xiaoxia smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

When she came back, she had squeezed two glasses of juice and brought over the car keys of the BMW 7 Series.

She hasn't driven this BMW 7 Series for a long time.

I am currently driving a Xiaomi SU7, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

For a woman like her, driving one in the city is very convenient and fashionable.

After getting the car keys, Pang Xinyi couldn't sit still. "Cousin, shall we go to the garage now?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "Drink some juice first."

Pang Xinyi picked up the cup directly and said, "Gulp - Gulp -"

After drinking a glass of juice in one breath, she said coquettishly, "Cousin, let's go over there quickly. I can't wait any longer."

Wu Xiaoxia found it funny. "Cousin, that BMW 7 Series has just been serviced. I occasionally start the car to keep the battery charged."

Pang Xinyi nodded, "Sister Wu, where is your daughter Zheng Qiqi?"

Wu Xiaoxia said: "She works in the company."

Pang Xinyi asked: "I went to the company today, why didn't I see her?"

“Now the company has more than a thousand people.”

Su Yu replied: "There are more than a hundred people sitting in the office. It's normal that you didn't see her."

Looking at Wu Xiaoxia, he smiled and continued, "I walked around the office this morning, visited every department, and also chatted with Zheng Qiqi."

"She has done well in the company and is now able to take charge of her own business and serve as a team leader."

"Mr. Su, the child is young and ignorant."

Wu Xiaoxia was happy to hear this, but she still said, "If she does anything wrong, just scold her directly, don't give her face!"

"Ha ha--"

"Why did I scold her?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "Zheng Qiqi is now an excellent employee of the company. If there is a promotion opportunity in the future, she will be considered."

Wu Xiaoxia was even happier, but she still didn't forget her job. "Mr. Su, are you going to have dinner at home tonight?"

"Just eat at home."

Su Yu nodded, "Five people!"

After chatting with the nanny for a few minutes, the two of them went to the garage.

Su Yu was worried about letting his cousin drive out, so he drove all the way to the main road before letting her drive.

Once I started to use it, it really looked good.

After driving for a while, Su Yu was completely relieved, "You can drive this car!"

"I might get distracted while reading."

Pang Xinyi chuckled and said, "But when I was learning to drive, I never slacked off."

Su Yu said: "Pull over somewhere. I have something to tell you."

Knowing that the highlight was coming, Pang Xinyi drove the car to a safe place and stopped. The expression on her face was a little expectant and a little nervous, "Cousin, go ahead!"

"It's actually very simple."

Su Yu organized his words briefly, "On New Year's Day, your cousin Yu Han and I will go back to her hometown to get engaged. On February 1st, I will marry your cousin Gu Jie."

Pang Xinyi nodded, "You told me all this."

Su Yu said: "You will go when the time comes."

"Cousin, I didn't think it was a big deal."

Pang Xinyi smiled and patted her chest, "Even if you didn't tell me about this, I would definitely go."

Su Yu said slowly: "You should also prepare for the other cousins."

Pang Xinyi's eyes were firm, "No problem!"

She is a staunch supporter of her cousin, and whatever her cousin says is what she believes.

“Something might happen in between.”

Su Yu continued, "I don't care whether you are joking or playing crazy, if I need you, you have to stand up."

Pang Xinyi gritted her teeth and said, "No problem!"

Su Yu looked outside the car, "And..."

Pang Xinyi frowned, "Anything else?"

“As long as you do it well.”

Su Yu directly made a promise, "When you graduate from college, you can choose a convertible car!"

Pang Xinyi blinked, "A sports car worth tens of millions is fine?"

Su Yu nodded, "All right."

Pang Xinyi was completely excited, "Really?"

Su Yu nodded, "Really."

Pang Xinyi was a little worried, "It's not the pearl of Zhen, it's the real one of Zhen?"

Su Yu glanced at him and asked, "Have I ever fooled you about this kind of thing?"

Pang Xinyi thought so too. Although her cousin often teased her, he always kept his word since she was a child.

"That's no problem."

She patted her chest and said loudly: "Cousin, don't worry, I will never give up."

Su Yu said: "I still have something to say!"

Pang Xinyi nodded, "You say!"

"Your cousin has a bit too much."

Su Yu said slowly: "I'm a little too busy, you should come and play with them more often, such as going shopping, chatting, walking the cats and dogs, etc."

Pang Xinyi looked at her cousin carefully, her expression a little strange, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's that expression on your face?"

Su Yu glanced at him and said, "If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now!"

Pang Xinyi whispered, "I said, you are not allowed to hit me!"

Su Yu rolled his eyes, "Why would I hit you?"

Curious, Pang Xinyi asked directly, "Cousin, you are so young and that's not enough?"

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, then glared at him and pretended to hit him, "What do you know, little brat?"

"You said you wouldn't hit me."

Instinctively dodging for a moment, Pang Xinyi pouted, "Besides, how am I small?"

"After the Chinese New Year, I will be nineteen years old, just a little younger than Cousin Yuhan's wife."

My cousin was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and she was born on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.

The elders usually like to joke that the two siblings are born on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.

"The point now is whether you are small or not?"

Su Yu was so angry, "Since your cousin can find so many cousins-in-law for you, how can he not be amazing?"

"I'm just too busy to do anything else."

What on earth is my cousin thinking about every day?
"Why don't you explain it more clearly?"

Pang Xinyi pursed her lips. Although she was suspicious, she did not continue to argue. "Besides, you are too busy to handle it, and you still find so many cousins-in-law for me?"

"You're the only one who talks too much, right?"

Su Yu's eyes widened, "Do you still want the sports car?"

"want!"

When the sports car was mentioned, Pang Xinyi became excited, "Cousin, just tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"Snapped--"

After a slap on the shoulder, Su Yu asked, "Have you forgotten what I just said?"

"I haven't forgotten. I haven't forgotten."

Knowing that she was being cruelly retaliated, Pang Xinyi didn't care and quickly shook her head, "I will attend your engagement party and wedding banquet on New Year's Day and February 1st."

"If there's anything I need your help with, and come hang out with your cousins ​​more often."

After saying that, she looked at her cousin and said with some pride: "Well, was I right?"

"That's right."

Su Yu nodded and grabbed his cousin by the neck, "You have a little memory, little brain of yours."

The next second, Pang Xinyi changed her face like a Sichuan opera performer, and turned into a pitiful look again, "Cousin, spare my life!"

Su Yu let go of his hand, "Besides this, I have another request."

Pang Xinyi asked: "What is the request?"

Su Yu said: "I know you can't concentrate on reading now, so you just want to play."

"hey-hey--"

Being hit on the heart of the matter, Pang Xinyi smiled awkwardly, her eyes evading, "How could I have that?"

"Whether you have or not, you know it in your heart."

Su Yu was too lazy to listen to his cousin's excuses. "My last request is that it doesn't matter if you can't concentrate on your studies or if you skip classes."

"But no matter how much you play, you must get your college diploma!"

"After all, your parents raised you and paid for your education for so many years, so you have to give an explanation."
