Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 276: Happy Old Couple

“His neighbor asked, which made me realize that my godfather was showing me off to others as his godson,” Ji Jianyun said helplessly.

When Su Danhong heard this, she didn’t know how to react. “Then did you admit it?”

“He likes Renren and Qiqi a lot,” Ji Jianyun said.

More importantly, that old man was very lonely. His family suffered a lot and he did not have other relatives. When Ji Jianyun heard his story, he got quite emotional. In addition to that, Renren and Qiqi liked him a lot. So, he asked his parents to let him be his godson.

His parents didn't have any objections. Since they happened to be there, they had a meal together and Ji Jianyun brought up the matter.

Uncle Zhang smiled and agreed. The old man smiled at the moment, but when he turned around, he was wiping his tears.

“My godfather said that he will retire the year after next, and I plan to take him to live here,” Ji Jianyun said. “By then we will need someone to guard the fourth orchard.”

When Su Danhong heard this, she asked, “You want to boss the old man around?”

“I think my godfather likes life in the country,” Ji Jianyun said.

“I asked the same thing. My godfather said it’s because he won't get any pension,” Ji Jianyun said.

“How much is the pension?” Su Danhong questioned indifferently.

“Don't underestimate it. He earns almost 80 yuan a month,” Ji Jianyun said.

“So high?” Su Danhong was surprised.

“Well, my godfather is an old professor at Peking college, so he has more tenure,” Ji Jianyun said.

Su Danhong nodded. No wonder he didn't want to retire early. That amount could last for a while.

Ji Jianyun added, “My godfather likes to drink honey water. He gave some of the honey I brought over to his old friends and there is not much left.”

“Then what should we do? We don't have a car to go there,” Su Danhong said.

“I asked my godfather to come over during summer vacation, and he agreed,” Ji Jianyun said.

Su Danhong nodded and looked at her belly. “Next year this little guy will be around.”

Ji Jianyun looked happy.

The couple was a little noisy for a while, and then they fell asleep happily holding each other in each other's arms.

The days went by and it was December. Ji Jianwen and Yun Lili took their holiday break. They came back early because they taught elementary school.

Now that they bought a house and paid off their debts, they were living a very comfortable life. They brought Yan'er back with them and bought gifts for Renren and Qiqi.

Renren got a violin and Qiqi got a harmonica. It was not cheap.

But Yun Lili bought them anyway this time.

Ji Xiaodong, Xiaozhen and Xiaoyu also got something. Xiaozhen and Xiaoyu got a new set of clothes, and Xiaodong got a new pair of sneakers. Everyone was pretty happy.

“I don't really have anything for you. Since you’re going back to Jiangshui City after the New Year, you can take some of the bacon hanging in the backyard and eat it slowly,” Su Danhong said to her.

“Bacon?” Yun Lili's eyes lit up.

Su Danhong brought her over. When she saw the bacon hanging in the backyard, she was stunned. “Sister-in-law, why did you make so much?”

“Well, I took advantage of the fact that pork is not expensive this year to make more. I'll sell it if I can't eat it all at home,” Su Danhong said, “But it’s not ready yet. It will be around the New Year.”

“Then I won't be polite, third sister-in-law. I love eating bacon,” Yun Lili said with a smile.

“There are a lot of walnuts too. You can take some back and crack them to eat. I see that fourth brother-in-law has gray hair when he is so young,” Su Danhong said.

“His class is a key class, and it is usually quite busy,” Yun Lili said.

“Make him more soup,” Su Danhong said to her.

“My cooking is average, and he often doesn’t like it,” Yun Lili said helplessly.

“It's just soup. It's not hard. If you have time, come over and I'll teach you a few easy-to-make soups. It doesn't take a lot of effort. Your third brother-in-law and Renren like to drink soup,” Su Danhong said. “And Yan’er. Her body is growing now, so you have to make some soup for her to drink. And eating three good meals a day is the best nourishment for her.”

“I'm thinking about buying some fish maw from the south for Yan'er to eat,” Yun Lili said.

“That thing is too nourishing. You and fourth brother-in-law can eat it just fine, but Yan’er is still young. It is not suitable for her to eat those things. You should not give it to her,” Su Danhong said. Then she whispered, “I heard that children who are too nourished are more likely to have menstruation early, and they will not grow taller.”

Yun Lili nodded quickly. “Then I’ll make more soup for Yan'er.”

Su Danhong didn't say anything else. She watched Yan'er grow up, so she naturally hoped that she would continue to grow well.

Yun Lili admired Su Danhong's skills in raising children. Even though her third sister-in-law was not very talkative, it was the right thing to ask her about matters related to children.

Didn’t Renren and Qiqi look really good? Let's not talk about her daughter, let’s talk about Yuanyuan. Her little face gave people a happy feeling.

The two sisters talked for a while. Yun Lili went back, while Yan'er stayed. She wanted to eat with her brothers. Ji Jianwen and Yun Lili went to the mountains to eat with Father Ji and Mother Ji.

This time, Ji Jianyun took Father Ji and Mother Ji out for a trip, and he brought back a lot of photos. The photos showed Father Ji and Mother Ji in front of the Great Wall and other grand places in the capital. The two elders were very happy.

Ji Jianyun was very bold and hired a photographer to take the photos. He spent more than 300 yuan on the photos.

But Father Ji and Mother Ji had a great time.

After Ji Jianwen finished eating, he started to look through the photos and asked with a smile, “Father, Mother, did you enjoy your trip?”

“I'm happy.” Mother Ji smiled and replied. “It's hard for your third brother. This trip cost a lot of money.”

“As long as you are happy, it will be fine,” Ji Jianwen said.

“If we have some free time during the summer vacation, we can try to take you on a trip,” Yun Lili said.

She still remembered that when her parents-in-law heard that they wanted to buy a house, they gave the money to them without saying anything.

“We won’t go anywhere for a while. You can go on a trip yourself. Your father and I are very tired from this trip,” Mother Ji said.

And there were a lot of things happening on the mountain.

Father Ji took the photos and looked at them with joy in his eyes. This time, his third son took him to many places, and his dream was fulfilled.

Overall, the old couple were very happy. This was their first trip in life, and they went to the capital.

As for that unfilial daughter, just go away as far as possible and stop getting in the way of their lives!
