Chapter 9 - Returning home

Chapter 9 Returning home,

Shen Wandi looked at Ji Yanli in surprise: "Where did you get so much money?"

Ji Yanli took out a hand and explained to Shen Wandi one by one: "This piece of more than 8,000 yuan is my salary over the years. , I don't have much to spend in the army, except for the money given to the families of martyrs who are living in difficulty, it's all here." "

Two of these six thousand bankbooks are dividends from trucking over the years, and the other three are It was our parents who gave us the money to buy four big things."

"This one, worth 12,000 yuan, was a wedding gift from my aunt. She couldn't come, so she wired the money over." "

As for this courtyard house and shop , was left to me by my grandma before she died. I later bought the two small courtyards myself. Except for the courtyard which is still empty, I rented out the others." "

The change is basically rent, but the rent is not high, and the courtyard The bigger one is 130 yuan a year, the smaller one is 70 yuan a year, and the shops are all 60 yuan a year."

Then he whispered in Shen Wandi's ear: "There is also some gold left by grandma. I have hidden all the jade jewelry and so on. When I can see the light in the future, I will give them all to you."

Shen Wandi's eyes sparkled: "You gave them all to me?"

Ji Yanli rubbed Shen Wandi's head: "Yeah! Everything! Here it is, you can take care of the money in our house from now on, okay."

Shen Wandi's eyes lit up and he nodded: "Okay!"

Then he ran to the camphor box to make money and took out a passbook from it.

"This is the 500 yuan my mother gave me to buy furniture, the 1,000 yuan she gave me separately, and the 888 as a bride price. They are all here, but my money is not as much as yours." Ji Yanli retorted: "

Now They are all yours!"

Shen Wandi looked confused: "Yeah! But don't worry, I will give you pocket money every month from now on!"

Ji Yanli looked at her with a smile and nodded.

Looking at the money and bankbooks spread out in a pile, Shen Wandi became happy. She tidied up and put everything into the tin box. When she received the real estate certificate, Shen Wandi suddenly remembered that in the book, the house seemed to be getting better and better in the future. They are becoming more and more valuable, and courtyard houses in Beijing have fetched sky-high prices.

After the heroine got a little money, she bought a lot of apartments. Later, she had more money to spend just by collecting rent.

Thinking of this, Shen Wandi pretended to be casual and asked: "Yan Li, why did you think of buying a house?"

Ji Yanli naturally made no secret to Shen Wandi: "Because the current housing situation is already very tight, and Houses are still a necessity for people. I think the price of houses will definitely increase in the future, so I bought them while I had some spare money. What's wrong? Do you think I spend money indiscriminately?" "How could that be? I

think you He is very farsighted. Even if the price does not increase, he can still collect rent. Think about how much money he can spend just by collecting rent. How great!"

Ji Yanli nodded the tip of Shen Wandi's nose: "Little money fan, then we will do it in the future. Buy more houses!"

"Yeah! Buy more! And buy a courtyard house!"

Ji Yanli supported Shen Wandi unconditionally: "Okay."

...

After dinner, Chen Mei pulled Shen Wandi into the bedroom and took out a Shen Wandi The now very familiar velvet box, when opened, revealed a set of three-gold jewelry.

"Yan Li's grandmother gave this to me before she left. She said she wanted me to give it to her grandson-in-law. I thought it would be given out soon. Who knew, it has been kept with me for so many years. Now, this is yours. La."

Shen Wandi took it and was about to say something when she saw Chen Mei took out another box. Inside was a high-glass jade bracelet, which was worth a lot at first glance.

Chen Mei took out the bracelet inside and said as if she was nostalgic: "This is the dowry my mother, Yan Li's grandma, gave me. I was originally supposed to give it to my daughter as a dowry. However, I am not so lucky. In this life, You are just a son like Yan Li. Now that he has married you, if you call me mom, mom will treat you as my daughter and give it to you. It is my wedding gift to you." Shen Wandi has already accepted it

. How could he accept the dowry from his mother-in-law with three gold coins? He declined politely: "Mom, this is your dowry. I can't accept it." "

You child, if I give it to you, accept it." Seeing that Shen Wandi was still refusing. , Chen Mei pretended to be angry and said, "It's a gift from the elders, don't dare to refuse, be obedient! Live a good life with Yan Li from now on." Then he reached out and took Shen

Wandi's hand, and put it on Shen Wandi with his own hands.

Shen Wandi couldn't refuse, so she had to accept: "Thank you, Mom -"

...

Shen Wandi returned to the house holding the two boxes, and found that Ji Yanli was not there!

I was immediately happy. After putting the box together with the previous ones, I quickly changed into my pajamas, and then I took the time to wash up. After I came back from the wash, I started to pretend to sleep. On a hot day, I felt that I didn't feel safe enough, so I wrapped myself in a little one. Thin blanket.

The exercise last night was really too intense. Shen Wandi was a little frightened in terms of size and endurance.

After Ji Yanli finished talking to Ji Chengming and returned from the study, he saw Shen Wandi, who was wrapped up tightly and pretending to be asleep.

Smiling and shaking his head, Ji Yanli didn't say anything, just changed into his pajamas, went to wash up, then quietly turned off the light and went to bed.

Just when Shen Wandi thought that he had hidden the truth and secretly rejoiced, Ji Yanli turned over and pressed directly over him. The thin blanket that Shen Wandi thought was wrapped tightly was torn away by Ji Yanli without any effort. .

Shen Wandi screamed in surprise and was silenced.

She also didn't want to think about how a 27-year-old man who had just started to indulge in pornography could let her go so easily.

However, Ji Yanli was thinking of Shen Wandi and didn't do anything too harsh. He only let Shen Wandi go once.

...

The two of them did nothing else the next day except packing their luggage, because after three days of returning home, Ji Yanli's vacation would be over and he would have to return to the army.

Clothes, quilts, mattresses, sheets, bed curtains and other bedding supplies, as well as some daily necessities, were not packed away. Everything that could be purchased after going to the army was not packed away. Just two large packages were packed out. And two large camphor wood boxes brought as dowry.

That night, Ji Yanli stopped tormenting Shen Wandi and let her sleep well.

On the day of their return, Shen Wandi and Ji Yanli got up early. After breakfast at home, they carried the prepared home-coming gifts - chicken, duck, fish and some other gifts, and returned to Shen in large and small bags. Home.

While Ji Yanli and Shen Qingshan were playing chess, Zheng Qiu brought Shen Wandi into the room and asked, "Nanny, how are you doing? Are you still getting used to it? He didn't expect to let you down, right?" Shen Wandi nodded and

shook his head. He leaned close to Zheng Qiu's ear and said, "He was very kind to me and didn't bully me. Moreover, he gave me money and other things, and said he would let me take care of the house in the future." Zheng Qiu then smiled, with a

heavy feeling in his chest . The big stone finally fell, and he reached out and tapped Shen Wandi on the forehead. Her family didn't treat her badly. How could she develop such a money-obsessed temperament?

Zheng Qiu didn't exert much force, but Shen Wandi leaned back in a funny way, covering his forehead and complaining: "It hurts so much -"

Who would have expected that Zheng Qiu discovered something incredible when he leaned back. The red dots on the neck were so densely packed that it was really annoying...

But fortunately, this also proved that the young couple had a good relationship. However, he still warned Yan Li with a serious face: "Tell Yan Li to pay attention to it, that is too serious." It's not good if it happens too often."

Shen Wandi didn't know what Zheng Qiu was talking about at first. Seeing Zheng Qiu's eyes occasionally glancing into her neck, her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

Zheng Qiu continued: "As for having a child, you and Yan Li have discussed it in advance. Mom is not rushing you. It is better to have the baby as soon as possible. Besides, the recovery will be fast." "

Mom—— " Shen Wandi couldn't help but speak to stop Zheng Qiu's output.

"Mom, what mom is telling the truth is good for you! Besides, Yan Li is already 27, how can your mother-in-law not be in a hurry to have a grandson?" "I know." The

original sadness of parting was conveyed to Zheng Qiu. The nagging was gone, Shen Wandi just wanted to escape from this house.

"Stinky girl! Oh, by the way, don't leave! Your cousin Chengyan brought this over yesterday. He said it was a wedding gift given to you by your cousin Chengbin. It's such a big cardboard box. I don't know what it is. What's this? It's wrapped very tightly." Zheng Qiu pointed to the square cardboard box on the table.

Shen Wandi didn't leave after hearing this. She took the box and looked at it carefully for a moment, and said in surprise: "It's a Seagull brand camera! It's also a camera that can take color photos! I've been coveting it for a long time. How did my cousin buy it? It's here!"

Zheng Qiu said: "Isn't this cheap? Chengyan is really willing to give up on you. Don't forget your two cousins."

After taking it apart, Shen Wandi was even more surprised and couldn't put it down: "I can't forget, I can't forget, how could I forget my brother! Mom, hurry up! Pack up and I'll take photos of you and my dad!"

Shen Wandi made up her mind that when Zheng Chengyan gets married, she must give him a gift Better gifts for him! As for Zheng Chengbin, he is already married and can only wait until he has a baby before giving it away.

...

in the courtyard.

As the saying goes, "Characters are like chess pieces, and world affairs are like chess games." Shen Qingshan was full of praise for Ji Yanli from the beginning of playing chess with him. Now that he has become his son-in-law, he is even more satisfied with Ji Yanli.

After playing a game of chess, I thought about my daughter who was going to the army tomorrow, and couldn't help but tell her: "Boy, my daughter is 6 years younger than you. She went to the army, thousands of miles away from home, and you are the only one beside her. If there's anything she doesn't do well, tell me and I'll educate her. Don't be angry with her. If anything happens, you should be more considerate." "Dad, please don't worry

. My status as a soldier guarantees that I will be good to Wan Di all my life!"

Shen Qingshan nodded happily, and just as he was about to say something else, the sound of Shen Wandi yelling for a photo came out.

I took individual photos and group photos of my parents, one in the yard, in the house, and in a place with a good background. I didn't worry about the film at all, and I also took a few photos for Ji Yanli.

Finally, we went to a neighbor's house and found a young man who also knew how to take photos. He took two group photos of the four of them. After dinner, they returned to Ji's house and took a series of photos.

Although this photo can be taken for a fee by going to a photo studio, but how can it be the same as the one taken by my daughter/daughter-in-law?

However, it takes time to develop photos, and Ji Yanli and Shen Wandi will return to the army tomorrow. Time is too short. As for this time, Shen Wandi plans to wash the photos by herself, and can only wait for them to be developed before mailing them back.

Shen Wandi likes to take pictures because taking pictures can record beautiful moments, and the captured moments will become eternal. In Shen Wandi's view, photos are people's second memory. Recording beautiful moments will make the future Every time I read it, it brings back happy memories.

When she got married before, Ji Yanli also invited the boss who took wedding photos to come over and took photos and records throughout the wedding process.

Even the owner of the photo studio said that the photos Shen Wandi took during her wedding had already caught up with her workload in a month. However, her family never said anything and instead supported her. Shen Wandi felt very happy. .

Some people have also said that Shen Wandi was a prodigal. One photo is enough to look at. Why spend so much money to take so many photos? what's the function?

It's just that Shen Wandi never paid attention to it. Shen Qingshan and Zheng Qiu would sometimes refute those who criticized Shen Wandi. He also told Shen Wandi not to pay attention to these nonsense and to do whatever he wanted.

So Shen Wandi has always cared about what other people say, and he can live his own life as he pleases. Why should he care about what others say and make himself unhappy? That's not worth it. It's just that I can't get it, and I'm jealous.

What's more, Shen Wandi's own salary can completely support the cost of taking photos. If he loses his family, will he lose his family?

It's just that the wedding time was really tight, and the wedding photos and on-site photos hadn't been developed yet, so they had to trouble Ji Chengming and Chen Mei to help pick them up after the photos were developed and send them to the army. Went in.
