Chapter 512 Wu Lanfang, Come and Get the Money
After Wang Yuanchao's family finished kowtow, Wang Sheng was preparing to take his wife to kowtow to his parents.
Wang Heping grabbed him and said:
"Brother, let me go first today.
After all, the aid from North Korea came first, so we can’t mess up the order, either from big to small, or from small to big, right?"
Wang Sheng was stunned. He had to admit that what the second brother said actually made some sense.
So Wang Heping took his wife and four sons and lined up in front of the old couple.
The knocks made a loud bang.
Wang Quan was laughing happily.
The feeling of being kowtowed to by your descendants is really wonderful.
He couldn't help but think of his father Wang Damao who had worked hard all his life.
If Dad knew that his son, Wang Quan, now has a house full of grandchildren, he would probably be so happy that he would jump out of his grave.
He suddenly woke up with a start. Oh, he must burn more paper money for his father later!
This thing is not banned in Hong Kong.
He used to live in the mainland, so there was nothing he could do. Now that he is outside, it would be very unfilial if he didn’t burn some incense.
After Wang Laoer's family finished bowing, Wang Laoda's family bowed next.
Miao Cui was infected by her husband's mood and also laughed happily.
Now that things have come to this, don't think too much.
Liu Qijin looked at his eldest and second brother's families, which had so many children, especially his second brother's family, which had only sons, and he sighed secretly. The Wang family was indeed fertile. All the brothers had more sons than daughters.
In addition to herself, she gave birth to three more children at once.
Are all the girls in Old Wang's family concentrated with her?
Lou Xiao'e, Wang Ling, and Zheng Juan are all boys!
Zheng Juan's daughter was brought back by Wang Yuanchao.
I am so pitiful.
She couldn't help but touch her belly. Her husband told her that the baby was a boy. Although she wanted to believe it, she was still worried that the tradition of the Wang family could not defeat the tradition of the Liu family.
The Wang family has only boys, but there is also a girl among them.
She later learned from her father that she had a younger sister when she was a child, but she died at a very young age and she was too young to remember her.
So what about the Liu family? They have only girls, very pure, not a single boy.
And all the babies she had given birth to before were girls...
I pray that so many boys from Lao Wang’s family will come over and summon out the little brother!
After Wang Shengjia finished kowtowing, the old couple were about to get up when they heard a long voice coming out.
"Why, have you forgotten about me, your daughter?"
But it was Wang Li alone. Just as he was about to come up and kowtow, his parents actually stood up and prepared to leave!
Wang Yuanchao laughed and said:
"I told you to find a partner quickly, get married and have children. With so many people around, who would dare to forget you?"
The eldest and second brothers nodded in agreement.
Mother Miao Cui said:
"My waist is sore from sitting for so long, can't I get up and move around? Come on, girl, mom is waiting for you!"
After saying that, Miao Cui sat down again.
Wang Quan added:
"Yuan Chao, everything about your house is good, except that the bed is too soft. The sofa is also soft. It's uncomfortable to sit on it!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. That made sense, since it was their father who said it first.
Wang Li kowtowed to his parents obediently.
At this point, the family seemed to be bound together by something mysterious.
Then the women gathered together, the men gathered together, and the children gathered together.
"Hou Kui, Ming Ming, why are you hanging out with kids? How old are you!"
Wang Quandao:
"You all should go shopping and see the local customs and practices of Hong Kong. Otherwise, when you go back tomorrow, you won't know what Hong Kong is like!"
Miao Cui glanced at her husband in surprise:
"You're not going?"
Wang Quan waved his hand and said:
"I'll stay at home. Yuan Chao and I will make some food. Just remember to come back for the New Year's Eve dinner!"
Although it is attractive to take a look at the customs and culture of Hong Kong, the old man is going to discuss the matter of ancestor worship with his son later, which is more important!
After the old man spoke, the whole family got in the car and went out.
Wang Yuanchao's women must play the role of good hosts.
Liu Qijin wanted to go out, but his parents-in-law persuaded him not to go out:
"If you're pregnant, don't go out too much. There are so many people around. If you're not careful, you might get a miscarriage!"
This is truly an imperial sword, and Liu Qijin had no choice but to listen.
So the troops were divided into two groups.
Led by Wang Ling and Lydia, the children went to the Ocean World in the south, not far from Pok Fu Lam. It was invested by the Jockey Club and has been in operation for a short time.
Lou Xiao'e, Zheng Juan and Chen Xueru took the adults shopping to experience the customs and culture of Hong Kong.
Everyone set off, and Wang Quan couldn't wait to say to his son:
"Yuan Chao, let's burn some paper for your grandparents, oh, and your grandparents."
It was said that Mr. Miao's son lost his head outside, leaving behind his daughter Miss Miao, who is also his wife Miao Cui.
If you marry someone's daughter, you have to fulfill your duties as a filial son-in-law, right?
So this is the important matter my father wanted to discuss with me? !
Wang Yuanchao gave an order and soon people brought various paper money and gold ingots.
Liu Qijin was pregnant, so she had to stay far away and couldn't approach. So the father and son found a place in the yard, put two iron buckets, and started burning paper.
One belongs to Wang Yuanchao’s grandparents, and the other belongs to Wang Yuanchao’s grandparents.
The father and son chatted while cooking.
"Your grandfather passed away in 55. You were 5 years old then. How could you not remember him?"
Wang Yuanchao tried hard to recall, but still couldn't remember. Children's memories are shallow, and he is no longer himself.
So he said nothing and just burned paper.
I just heard my father talking to himself:
"It's your grandma that I have no impression of. I was raised by your grandpa with all his heart!"
Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but think of Zheng Juan. She was adopted by Zheng's mother. Could it be that her father was also adopted by her grandfather?
But this matter doesn't make any sense.
He helped his father pass the yellow paper.
"I never thought about the expansion of our Wang family. You brothers and sisters are all so successful, and it is inseparable from your mother's teaching. She is a cultured person and has knowledge.
I, your father, am not well educated, but I can tell good from bad.
But you, Hou Kui, Chen Mingming, are you still helping others raise their children?"
Wang Yuanchao said:
"Love the house and love the people in it. I have many children of my own and I am close to their mother, so naturally I will take good care of them."
Wang Quan hummed and said:
"Why do you like older people? Your mother is only five years older than me, and your girlfriends are more than ten years older than you, right?"
Wang Yuanchao chuckled and said:
“When they were in their prime, I was young.
You know, I'm an emotional person. They followed me when I was still young. Now that I'm successful, how can I abandon them?
Besides, they have kowtowed to you two today, so their status has been confirmed."
Wang Quan glanced at his son. This was true. The third son was indeed sentimental. He had two brothers and a sister. Who wouldn't be grateful to him? He said:
"But I see that your family is harmonious, so it's okay. Otherwise, it would be chaotic and you wouldn't be able to live like this. But,"
Wang Quan paused, looked around, and said:
"My third daughter-in-law's belly...she must be under a lot of pressure, right?"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Don't worry, this pregnancy will give you a grandson!"
Wang Quan smiled and hoped so, otherwise he would really feel a little sympathy for his third daughter-in-law.
The in-laws of the third daughter-in-law are also very easy to meet.
The eldest daughter-in-law has three sons and one daughter, the second daughter-in-law has four sons, and the third daughter-in-law has three daughters. The key point is that the other young wives of the third son also have sons!
After burning the paper money of Old Wang's family, Wang Quan used yellow paper to start a fire and started burning the paper money of Old Miao's family in another iron bucket.
Wang Yuanchao did not ask about the situation of his grandparents' family. After all, he heard from the deaf old lady that it was only his grandfather, father and mother who settled in the courtyard.
Only my father, while burning, kept muttering:
"Old Taishan, mother-in-law, son-in-law Wang Quan, grandson Wang Yuanchao, I am burning some paper money for you.
We will give you more money, so you can spend as much as you want. There is no need to be frugal. Your grandson can earn money!
If you are happy, please bless your daughter Miao Cui and let her be healthy and live a long life."
Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but glance at his father. He was so affectionate even when burning paper. Well, he must have inherited his father's good qualities.
Seeing that Wang Quan was almost burned, Wang Yuanchao took out a piece of paper, started a fire, and burned it next to him.
Wang Quandao:
"Who are you burning this for?"
Wang Yuanchao said:
"Don't ask."
Wang Quan blinked and said:
"Then you should at least use the fire tongs to draw a circle and leave a door open, so that the ghosts outside won't come and rob you!"
Wang Yuanchao thought about it and felt that there seemed to be such a saying, so he followed suit.
Wang Quan said again:
"If you don't say it out loud, they can't hear it and they can't get the money."
Wang Yuanchao looked at his father. Wang Quan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by his son, so he stood up and said:
"I'll take a walk first. I feel a little dizzy after having a fever for so long."
Seeing that his father was indeed wandering around, Wang Yuanchao sighed and whispered:
"Wu Lanfang, come and get the money. Spend it on yourself and on your children..."
After all the paper money was burned, Wang Quan began to help his son paste Spring Festival couplets. The house was so big and there were so many doors, but fortunately they only pasted the front door.
Then someone else came to visit Wang Yuanchao.
Wang Quan felt that all the important things had been done and his son was so busy, so he asked his son to send someone to take him to meet his wife and others, because he also wanted to broaden his horizons.
Before leaving, he asked his son to help prepare some red envelopes. He and his wife would definitely give the New Year's money to their children and grandchildren in the evening. After all, everyone had kowtowed today!
So Wang Yuanchao and Liu Qijin were the only ones left at home.
"The room is a bit crowded tonight, so everyone may have to squeeze in," said Liu Qijin.
According to Wang Yuanchao's custom, the whole family would stay together for the New Year's Eve vigil, but now his parents-in-law, brother and sister-in-law, and sister-in-law have all come, so there are suddenly more people.
No matter how big a mansion is, it can no longer be as abundant as before.
"Then we have to squeeze in for now. It looks like we need to rebuild a big house. Otherwise, when the children grow up, there won't be enough space for them!"
Wang Yuanchao thought of the building where the richest man in India lived. It was just a single family home with all kinds of facilities. He might be able to build one like this.
In addition, the New Territories has a large area, so we can build a manor and focus on having more houses.
