I'm back in 1990

Chapter 351: Etiquette

The scorching heat of July caused Big Stick and Little Stick to pant heavily with their mouths wide open and tongues hanging out all day. My aunt was worried that they would suffer from heatstroke, so she put them inside the house during the day and put them back in the yard at night.

Zeng Xia took Liu Jin back to Suzhou. According to custom, it was time to move the child to a new place. It is said that this would help the child adapt to a different environment sooner. As for whether there is any basis for this, we don't know.

The house felt much quieter without the little one, and my aunt was a little unaccustomed to it at first.

These past few days, Huang Xiaochuan noticed that his aunt was always distracted, and he knew she was missing her two granddaughters.

"Aunt, how about I have someone send you back home to stay for a while?"

Before her aunt could respond, her grandmother spoke up.

"I was just thinking of going back to stay for a few days. The new house is finished, but I haven't been back to stay even once. Why don't I go back with your aunt and come back when it gets colder?"

The main reason why my aunt was torn between going back and not going back was her grandmother. She knew that Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang were usually busy, and her grandmother was getting old, so she was afraid that they wouldn't be able to take care of her.

Now that her grandmother has offered to go back to Suzhou with her, her aunt immediately felt that a big problem had been solved.

"Mom is right. We should go back and stay there for a while, and come back when it gets cold."

Huang Xiaochuan thought it was a good idea. His hometown was a good place to escape the summer heat. It would be good to let his grandmother and aunt go back and stay for a while. They didn't have any friends to talk to in Shanghai. Most of their best friends were in Suzhou. It would be good for them to visit their friends and relatives.

"In that case, I'll arrange a car to take you back in the next couple of days."

Aunt waved her hand and said, "You don't need to see us off. I'll call your uncle later and have Ah Liang drive over to pick us up."

"Don't bother Master Liang, I'll take you back myself. I'll find a big car to take you, it'll be comfortable and spacious there."

Cao Charlie imported several cars from abroad under the name of Guangda Real Estate and specially set up a fleet for Huang Xiaochuan. Considering Huang Xiaochuan's dislike of showing off, the Bentley was temporarily put away. According to Huang Xiaochuan's preferences, this small fleet mainly consisted of SUVs, commercial vehicles and a Coaster. In general, as long as these cars did not go out together, they were relatively low-key.

Huang Xiaochuan usually rides in commercial vehicles, but this time he plans to use the Coaster to take his grandmother and aunt back. The Coaster has been completely modified and the specially installed airline seats are not only spacious and comfortable, but also have a massage function. Moreover, the vehicle also has a toilet, which is very rare in China nowadays, making it most suitable for long-distance travel.

Grandma agreed with Huang Xiaochuan's suggestion and made the final decision: "Then let Xiaochuan take us back, and we'll ask Aliang to take us back when it gets cold."

The plan to send my grandmother and aunt back to Suzhou for summer vacation was thus decided. My aunt was eager to go home and started packing her luggage that very night.

Huang Xiaochuan understood her very well, because he also missed the two little ones, especially Liu Jin. When she was around, seeing her would give him a headache, but now that she had gone back, the house felt like something was missing.

That evening, Huang Xiaochuan told Yu Xiang that his grandmother and aunt were going back to stay for a while.

Yu Xiang didn't understand what was going on at first, and asked in surprise, "Why are you going back?"

"Liu Jin and the others went back home, didn't they? Auntie missed them. Haven't you noticed how distracted she's been these past few days? Grandma also misses home. They haven't stayed in the new house for a single day since it was built, so they're going back for a few days to escape the summer heat. I'll go pick them up when the weather gets cooler."

"I see!"

Upon hearing this reason, Yu Xiang understood, because she had also been missing Liu Jin these past few days.

Zeng Xia was having an incredibly comfortable time as a mother. Sometimes at night, she would simply leave Liu Jin (the baby) to sleep with Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang. Over time, Yu Xiang also developed feelings for him.

Yu Xiang suggested, "When it gets cold, you can pick up Grandma and Auntie and bring Xiao Liujin back with you. By then, she should be crawling all over the place."

"We'll see! We also need to see if their grandparents agree! Besides, my second sister wouldn't agree either."

Yu Xiang laughed: "I guarantee that if you said you'd take Liu Jin with you, your second sister would be overjoyed!"

Huang Xiaochuan thought about it and felt that what Yu Xiang said was very likely, so he changed his mind.

"I think we should just forget about it! That little thing already gave us a run for our money when she was so small. If she gets any older, I don't think we'll be able to control her. Let her go and torment her own mother!"

Yu Xiang thought about it and agreed! The little guy was indeed cute, but when he got rowdy, he could be quite a handful, so she stopped mentioning it.

After getting out of the car, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law inspected the new house inside and out and were very satisfied.

Although it is a newly built house, when it was built, Huang Xiaochuan's advice was taken into consideration, and a professional design institute was hired to design it. The exterior of the house retains the style of traditional Jiangnan water town architecture, but the interior is designed according to modern living functions. In this way, it is comfortable to live in and looks unique, achieving the best of both worlds.

After the house was built, many people in the town who wanted to build a house came to learn from it and wanted to replicate it. Zeng Jiahua generously provided the original design drawings so that these people could print them themselves.

For a time, many newly built houses in the town were built according to the template of Zeng's house. Later, this news reached the ears of the county and city leaders, who came to visit and praised it as a model of the new countryside.

At noon, Huang Xiaochuan had lunch in the new house. His uncle, Zeng Jiahua, even tried to persuade him, "Stay for one more night before going back. Have some wine with me tonight."

"Forget it, I still have to go back, otherwise Yu Xiang will be home alone tonight."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Jiahua stopped trying to persuade Huang Xiaochuan to stay.

After his maternal grandmother and aunt left, the large old house was empty. Huang Xiaochuan's original idea of ​​hiring a live-in nanny resurfaced, but this was disrupted by a phone call from his elderly mother, Zeng Lijuan.

It turns out that Huang Xiaochuan's second brother, Huang Erhe, suddenly returned with a fiancée—yes, a fiancée.

So, on the phone, the elderly mother, Zeng Lijuan, expressed a little displeasure that she hadn't been told about such a big thing as the engagement.

Huang Xiaochuan advised over the phone, "Maybe there are special reasons. Besides, it's not so convenient for my second brother to come home on leave from the army. Now that your second daughter-in-law is settled, you should be happy!"

Zeng Lijuan said angrily, "Couldn't he have called us first? If he can't come back, can't he just make a phone call? Your dad and I could have gone over there. Your second sister-in-law's family is unreasonable too. They're capable of doing something like this, clearly showing disrespect to your dad and me."

Okay! Huang Xiaochuan admitted that his mother was right. Huang Erhe was a grown man, and seemed to be a battalion-level officer now. What could he do if she made a phone call?

However, since he is the older brother, there are some things that his mother can say, but Huang Xiaochuan will refrain from saying. As the younger brother, he doesn't want to get involved in these matters. His parents are in their prime, so they can arrange everything themselves. Anyway, Huang Xiaochuan has a full wallet for his mother, so he speaks with confidence.

Zeng Lijuan said on the phone, "Why don't you come back? After all, your second sister-in-law has come to visit, so it would be a courtesy for our family to come back and see her."

Huang Xiaochuan agreed without hesitation. His mother's words made sense. Although his second in-laws were unreliable, the Huang family's etiquette could not be neglected. Except for the eldest son, Huang Dahai, who was on a mission and could not come back, his sister-in-law represented him at home.

Huang Xiaochuan's long journey back from Shanghai demonstrates the importance the Huang family places on his second sister-in-law.

However, since we're going back anyway, why not let Yu Xiang come back with us? She hasn't been back to Qingjiang in a long time.

So when Huang Xiaochuan told Yu Xiang that he would go back to Qingjiang for two or three days, Yu Xiang immediately agreed, and completed the leave application procedures the next day.

Now that everything is ready, let's set off.
