On the first day of school, the school beauty in black stockings took me to a hotel.

Su Wanqing quickly stood up: "Thank you, Uncle, thank you everyone. I've been in Chang'an for the past few days, and Uncle has taken me to so many places and let me eat so much delicious food. Chang'an is really beautiful, and the food is so good. I don't want to leave."

That was a beautifully said statement, and the elders beamed with joy upon hearing it.

My aunt said, "If you don't want to leave, stay a few more days! Let Xiaoyu show you around more."

My cousin chimed in, "Wanqing, let me tell you, there are so many fun places in Chang'an. Let Xiaoyu take you to the Qinling Mountains; the autumn scenery there is absolutely beautiful."

"We've been there," Liu Yu interjected. "We've been to Mount Li and Mount Hua."

The meal lasted for more than an hour and was coming to an end.

As the waiter began serving the fruit platter, the aunt took out a thick red envelope from her bag, stood up, and walked over to Su Wanqing.

"Wanqing, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it since it's our first meeting."

Su Wanqing was taken aback, then quickly stood up: "Auntie, this won't do, I can't accept it..."

"Why can't we accept it! It's the rule! It's the rule in our Liu family that when a new bride... no, a new girlfriend, comes to visit for the first time, the elders have to give her a red envelope!"

"New...new daughter-in-law..." Su Wanqing blushed.

"You and Xiaoyu are such a perfect match! A handsome man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven. Your aunt has a good eye for men; you two will definitely make it!"

Su Wanqing clutched the red envelope and looked at Liu Yu for help.

Liu Yu nodded to her and mouthed, "Accept."

Then, as if a switch had been flipped, the elders at the table all took out red envelopes.

Aunts, uncles, maternal uncles, aunts, paternal aunts, maternal uncles... even cousins ​​prepared small red envelopes.

A small mountain of red envelopes quickly piled up in front of Su Wanqing.

She was flustered and kept saying "thank you".

Finally, Liu Yuanshan took out his red envelope, which was thicker than everyone else's.

"Wanqing, please accept this from your uncle. These past few days, your uncle has noticed that you genuinely care for Xiaoyu. It's Xiaoyu's good fortune to have met you. Thank you, uncle."

Su Wanqing accepted the red envelope: "Uncle, I should thank you. Thank you for being so kind to me and for teaching Liu Yu so well..."

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door of the private room.

A waiter pushed in a small food cart with ten velvet gift bags on it.

The bag is exquisitely crafted, with patterns embroidered with gold thread, and it looks very valuable.

Su Wanqing quickly stood up: "Grandpa, elders, this is a small token of my appreciation. I prepared some small gifts for everyone to thank you for your hospitality today, and also to thank you for your care."

She walked to the cart, picked up the first bag, and handed it to her grandfather with both hands: "Grandpa, this is for you. Liu Yu told me that you drink a little wine occasionally, so I prepared some for you. Try it and see if you like it."

Grandpa took the heavy bag, opened it, and was stunned for a moment.

Inside the bag lay two luxuriously packaged "Zhonghua" cigarettes, two bottles of "Feitian Moutai," and two boxes of premium "Jin Jun Mei" black tea.

"This...this is too precious, child!" Grandpa quickly declined.

"It's not expensive, it's just a small token of my appreciation."

Then she began distributing them one by one. Each person received an identical portion, with generous portions.

My uncle took out a bottle of Moutai and clicked his tongue, exclaiming, "My goodness, this liquor... it must be an aged liquor! Where did this kid buy it! This stuff is hard to come by these days."

Auntie held Su Wanqing's hand: "Wanqing, you child... this is too extravagant! How much money did this cost! We just wanted to give you a small red envelope as a greeting, why did you prepare such an expensive gift!"

Su Wanqing replied, "Auntie, it's no trouble at all!"

My cousin, holding a bag of Moutai liquor, nudged Liu Yu beside him: "Bro, your wife... this is outrageously extravagant! This bag alone, just these two bottles, is worth three months of my salary!"

This unexpected return gift instantly upgraded Su Wanqing's image from "a beautiful and sensible girlfriend" to "an impeccable future family member".

The dinner party ended in this warm and cozy atmosphere.

It was already past nine o'clock when I got home.

Liu Yuanshan had a little wine, and as soon as he entered the door, he went straight into the bedroom.

Liu Yu and Su Wanqing slipped into Liu Yu's bedroom.

As soon as the door closed, Su Wanqing collapsed onto the bed: "Aaaaaah, I'm so embarrassed! Did you see how my hands were shaking when I accepted the red envelope?!"

"I saw it, I saw it, but you behaved very well, very confidently, all my relatives praised you."

"real!"

"Really, my aunt secretly told me that you are a hundred times better than that other girl's daughter-in-law she met last time. My other aunt also said that you are polite and not pretentious."

Su Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good... Hey, quick, look how much they collected!"

She poured all the red envelopes onto the bed.

The bright red expanse created a truly stunning visual effect.

"Come on, let's count the money!" Su Wanqing sat cross-legged on the bed, looking like a little money-grubber, her eyes shining.

Liu Yu also sat down, and the two began to open the red envelopes.

"Auntie's...wow! 8888! Auntie is so generous!"

"Auntie's... 6666!"

"My uncle's... is also 8888!"

"My aunt's... 5200! That's a good number!"

"My cousin's... 1314! Hahaha, my cousin's got some fun!"

"My cousin's... is also 1314. Did the couple plan this together?"

One by one, the red envelopes were opened, and the amounts were mostly auspicious numbers: 6666, 8888, 5200, 1314...

Su Wanqing became more and more excited as she counted: "Liu Yu, Liu Yu, I'm rich! This must be tens of thousands of yuan in total!"

"Calm down, calm down!"

The last red envelope, and also the thickest one.

Su Wanqing carefully opened the package and took out the money, which consisted entirely of brand-new hundred-yuan bills tied with a red paper ribbon.

She began to count: "One hundred, two hundred, three hundred..."

When she finished counting, she froze: "Ten thousand...and one yuan!"

Liu Yu leaned closer to take a look, and sure enough, there were ten thousand yuan bills neatly arranged, with a one-yuan bill placed on top of them.

"This is……"

One in a million.

Su Wanqing blinked, and suddenly understood.

"One in a million... Uncle is truly..."

"What, you're not satisfied! You think it's not enough!"

"Nonsense! It's the thought that counts! It's priceless! I just... didn't expect Uncle to go to such lengths."

She picked up the one-yuan bill, examined it under the light, and carefully put it back into the red envelope: "I'll keep this safe."

"What about the rest! What are your plans? You're really becoming a little rich woman."

Su Wanqing thought for a moment: "Save it."

"Save it! Is this a huge sum of money for you? A pair of your shoes costs more than that."

Su Wanqing rolled her eyes at him: "What do you know? This is something I earned through my own abilities—no, it's something I earned through being 'Liu Yu's girlfriend'! It's different!"

"Besides... I'm currently using my dad's black card. If he gets upset one day and cancels the card, I'll be penniless. This money is my 'emergency reserve'."
