I'm back in 1990

Chapter 323: Saving 1 point every year

Before the Spring Festival, Huang Xiaochuan asked Mai Guangde to arrange two commercial vehicles to take him back to Qingjiang.

At the end of last year, Huang Xiaochuan's mother, Zeng Lijuan, called him to tell him that because her eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant, she and Huang would not be going to Shanghai for the Chinese New Year this year.

So Huang Xiaochuan, as their son, should go home and bring them some New Year's gifts!

Furthermore, Lao Yu's family was going to Shanghai for the Chinese New Year, so Huang Xiaochuan could take them to Shanghai on his return trip, which led to this trip to Qingjiang before the New Year.

Entering his home familiarly, Huang Xiaochuan opened his arms wide: "I'm home!"

Unfortunately, no one paid him any attention. The elderly mother, Zeng Lijuan, was preoccupied with her unborn grandson and was busy preparing clothes and other items for the child.

Old Huang was engrossed in reading a newspaper.

This greatly displeased Huang Xiaochuan, who repeated loudly, "I'm back!"

"Why are you making such a loud noise? You're back, so what! Do you expect me to go out and set off a string of firecrackers?" The elderly mother, Zeng Lijuan, glared at Huang Xiaochuan with displeasure.

It's over! His mother's love is gone! Huang Xiaochuan felt utterly dejected.

Fortunately, Lao Huang, the father, is quite reliable.

"You're back? Why didn't you call beforehand?"

"Dad, aren't you being too formal? Why should I greet you when I come back to my own home?"

Why did you come back alone?

Old Huang was a little puzzled.

"I came back specifically to deliver New Year's gifts to you."

Old Huang waved his hand: "We don't lack anything at home."

"Oh, I see! Then never mind, I'll have someone move all the Moutai to my father-in-law's house later."

"What? What? Moutai?" Old Huang perked up immediately upon hearing about Moutai.

"Yes! I brought you some Moutai. Since you don't want it, I'll give it all to Uncle Yu."

"Move it back right now!" Old Huang immediately adopted his fatherly authority.

After the items were brought in, Huang Xiaochuan pointed to a few things and said, "These are rice cakes and dumplings that my grandma and aunt asked me to bring you, as well as dried bamboo shoots."

Zeng Lijuan asked, "Aren't they in Shanghai? How do they have time to do this?"

"My aunt asked my uncle's family to make it. They just picked it up a while ago and asked me to bring some for you."

Huang Xiaochuan then took out several bankbooks from his pocket and handed them to his elderly mother, Zeng Lijuan.

Zeng Lijuan didn't take it: "Why are you giving me money again? You've given me quite a bit already, our family isn't short of money!"

"Put it away first, and let me tell you what I have to say."

Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan had something to say, Zeng Lijuan put the passbook away.

"There is a blue-stamp household registration policy in Shanghai now. As long as you buy a commercial property in Shanghai, you can register your household in Shanghai. After three years, you can change it to a formal Shanghai household registration."

"Ask your sister-in-law. If she's willing, use this money to buy an apartment in Shanghai for my eldest brother and sister-in-law, my second brother, and his future sister-in-law, and register their household registration there."

Regarding the matter of buying houses for his two older brothers, Huang Xiaochuan felt it was better to let his elderly mother, Zeng Lijuan, handle it, so he didn't overstep his bounds.

Upon hearing that it was now possible to buy a house and register one's household registration in Shanghai, Lao Huang and Zeng Lijuan immediately perked up.

"Really?"

"It's true!"

"Then what about your sister-in-law's job?"

Old Huang explained to Zeng Lijuan, "Now that ration coupons have been abolished, there's not much of a connection between work and household registration."

"Then I'll go back to the Jiang family and discuss it with Jiang Rong."

Huang Xiaochuan looked around the house: "My sister-in-law isn't staying at home?"

Zeng Lijuan said, "A while ago, your sister-in-law had severe morning sickness and vomited everything she ate, so her mother took her back to take care of her. Now she basically lives at her parents' house."

"I see!"

"You talk to your dad, I'll go cook for you now." Zeng Lijuan put on an apron.

"Mom, then you cook more. I'm going to Uncle Yu's house, and I'll invite them over for dinner later."

"Then go ahead!"

Old Huang asked, "Should we buy some cooked dishes or something?"

"No need, I have sausages and salted meat at home, and I also braised some pork belly and heart. I'll just cut some up later."

Huang Xiaochuan carried a few things upstairs.

Yu Min opened the door, and upon seeing Huang Xiaochuan, she paused for a moment, then asked, "Why are you back?"

"Could you let me in first?" Huang Xiaochuan held up both hands for Yu Min to see, indicating that he was still carrying things.

Yu Min quickly took it from Huang Xiaochuan's hands, and didn't forget to turn her head and call into the house.

"Dad, Mom! Your precious son-in-law is here."

Zheng Aiying was preparing dinner when she heard Yu Min's words and came out of the kitchen.

Old Yu also came out of the room and asked Huang Xiaochuan, "Didn't you say you weren't coming back for the New Year?"

Huang Xiaochuan explained, "Uncle Yu and Aunt Zheng, my parents said they wouldn't be coming to my place for the New Year this year, so I brought them some New Year's goods back. I was also thinking of picking you up so that Yu Wei wouldn't have to come pick you up."

Zheng Aiying asked, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Eat at my place, I'll make it now."

"Aunt Zheng, don't bother. My mom has already cooked at home. You can all come to my house for a meal later. I'll have a few drinks with Uncle Yu and my dad."

The two families already had a good relationship, and now they were about to become in-laws, so Lao Yu and Zheng Aiying didn't stand on ceremony.

"Okay, let's go now. I'll help your mom with it." Zheng Aiying didn't even take off her apron and went straight downstairs to Huang Xiaochuan's house.

That evening, Lao Huang opened a bottle of Moutai that Huang Xiaochuan had brought back. Huang Xiaochuan didn't like the soy sauce-flavored liquor, so he found a bottle of Yanghe from Lao Huang's collection.

However, Lao Yu and Lao Huang both praised the Moutai that Huang Xiaochuan brought back.

After downing two glasses of wine, Lao Yu exclaimed, "The aroma of soy sauce is rich and the aftertaste is mellow. It's a fine wine, truly a fine wine."

Old Huang isn't much of a drinker, but he's quite knowledgeable about alcohol.

"Indeed, it's excellent; the aroma lingers even in an empty glass. It truly lives up to its reputation as a wine served at state banquets!"

Huang Xiaochuan joked with his father, "Dad, I'm not trying to be mean, but what's the use of good wine? You can only drink three small cups at most."

Huang Xiaochuan's words amused Lao Yu.

"Ha ha!"

Old Huang was so angry that he glared at him and said, "Old Yu, I don't want this son anymore, he's yours."

"Really? Then I won't stand on ceremony with you."

"Dad, you'll regret this!"

Old Huang was really angry with Huang Xiaochuan tonight. The little brat actually complained that his father couldn't hold his liquor.

"I regret having you!"

"Alright then! I was originally planning to give you half of the several thousand bottles of Moutai I bought, but now that you're planning to sever our father-son relationship, I'll just give them all to my Uncle Yu."

When they heard that Huang Xiaochuan had bought several thousand bottles of Moutai, both Lao Huang and Lao Yu were stunned.

"Are you sure you mean it?" Old Huang asked, somewhat incredulous.

"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? All these wines are currently stored in Shanghai, totaling over a thousand cases. The cases I brought back this time are from that batch."

Old Huang and Old Yu exchanged a glance. What this kid said must be true, because this kid now has the power to do such a thing.

However, what they didn't expect was that they bought this batch of wine by chance.

However, through this incident, Huang Xiaochuan had the idea of ​​stockpiling more Moutai with iron caps. He asked Jiang Bixing to buy two tons for him every year, part of which was for Lao Huang and Lao Yu to drink regularly, and part of which he would collect specifically.

This time, Huang Xiaochuan stayed at home for two days. On the third day, he took Lao Yu and his wife, along with Yu Min, back to Shanghai.
