Chapter 498 The jewelry box given by mother-in-law
The host was chatting in the living room, while Li Xiaoxiu and Yuying were busy in the kitchen consciously.
The hot meal was served on the table, and the family gathered together and had a delicious lunch.
After dinner, several women chatted and took care of their children in the living room. Grandma saw that Wang Cuimei had made great progress in this matter, and she also put aside her previous grudges, and her eyes became much softer when she looked at her.
Wang Cuimei could feel the changes in her mother-in-law, and she became more determined in her thoughts.
Jiang Li is not only a hero of their old Shen family, but also their family's lucky star.
It was precisely because of her arrival that the incompatible relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was reconciled, and the relationship between father and son also improved a lot.
Wang Cuimei spoke more and more kindly to Jiang Li, holding her hand several times and calling her daughter affectionately.
Shen Huadong is not used to such an environment, and he doesn't like to follow women and talk about his family's shortcomings.
Seeing that the women were chatting happily and completely ignoring the existence of their father and son, he quietly gave Shen Changan a wink.
Shen Huadong took the lead to walk to the study. Although Shen Changan still wanted to stay here to accompany his wife, after all, he was his biological father and had always helped him unconditionally when he encountered difficulties. Shen Changan still had to give him this face. his.
Shen Changan followed his father resignedly, and the two of them came to the study one after another.
Shen Huadong invited Shen Changan to drink tea, and then took out chess and played with him again.
Shen Changan remembered that he had played chess with his father when he was a child. When he became an adult, his father was very strict with him and rarely smiled on his face.
"Dad, we haven't played chess in more than ten years, right?"
Shen Huadong smiled and nodded, "Yes, dad always treated you like a child and often interfered with your ideas."
"Although chess is a puzzle game, I was obsessed with lard at that time and always wanted you to focus on studying."
"Now that I think about it, a harmonious father-son relationship cannot be managed, but requires mutual respect and understanding, and frequent communication. Otherwise, even father and son will only drift apart."
Shen Changan was shocked that Shen Huadong could say such considerate words.
"Dad, this is not something you would say. Why did you suddenly change your gender?"
Shen Changan took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for his father, and then the two played chess.
"Who told you to marry a good wife and give birth to a pair of good sons? It was only after I became a father-in-law and a grandfather that I realized my problem."
Shen Huadong was embarrassed to tell Shen Changan, mainly because all his family members ran out to eat, and he was the only one left in such a big family.
From that moment on, Shen Huadong felt profound loneliness.
Such loneliness was too uncomfortable, so I decided to change my mind.
After he let it go and treated his son as a friend, the originally tense relationship between them was greatly improved.
"Dad, it's really good that you think like this. I've been hiding things about Xiao Li and I from you before, just because I was afraid that you wouldn't agree."
"I always thought I knew you guys very well, but now that I think about it, I was so self-righteous that I wasted so much time."
"But fortunately, my relationship with Xiao Li is getting better and better, and it's not too late to get married at the end of the month. During this time, I have been by her side, and I have also taken care of the childcare myself."
"Now I finally understand that being a parent is not that easy. After becoming a father, I can understand your thoughts."
Shen Changan said sincerely, and Shen Huadong stood up excitedly and patted his shoulder.
"Chang'an, Dad is really happy that you have such an idea. Dad also reflects on his mistakes. When you grow up, you have the ability to make your own judgment."
"From now on, you can do whatever you want. Dad will be behind you and support you unconditionally. If you need help, just tell me."
"Dad is an honest official. He has not saved much money, and his ability to make money is not even as good as yours. But I haven't retired yet, and I still have some power in my hand."
"I have not used these rights in the past few decades. In the following period, I am willing to help you as much as possible within the scope of the law, so that you can fly higher and further."
It was the first time Shen Huadong said such straightforward words to his son. Shen Changan clenched his fists and remained silent for a long time. He was so moved that he could not speak.
Although his father was taciturn, his care and love for him was engraved in his bones.
"Dad, thank you."
"There is no need to say thank you between father and son. Besides, you have to be a husband and a father. You can't be as incompetent as I was before."
"You have two children who have a lot of expenses. You have to find ways to make more money in the future so that your wife and children can live a good life with you."
Shen Huadong patted Shen Changan on the shoulder again and again. When Shen Changan raised his head, he saw his father's loving look on his face.
Shen Changan felt that such a father was very good, but also a bit strange.
I remembered that when I came back, my father made him do 200 push-ups as a punishment, which were weight-bearing ones.
He was very tired at that time, and he was quite critical of his father.
After a short time, his father began to love him very much, as if the conflicts and grudges between father and son had disappeared as soon as he got married.
It seems that in the eyes of parents, children who do not get married will never grow up. Only when they get married and have children can they be qualified to talk to them face to face.
Shen Changan smiled on his face, but sighed silently in his heart. This is really a magical feeling.
The relationship between father and son was growing day by day upstairs. Downstairs, Wang Cuimei took out an old-fashioned wooden box from the room, which contained the gold and silver jewelry she had accumulated over the years.
People in the 80s had a habit of not wearing their own jewelry and giving it to their future daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law.
Wang Cuimei opened the box in front of Jiang Li. Jiang Li was dazzled by the box full of gold jewelry.
She has long known that middle-aged women like to wear gold and silver, and gold in the 70s was indeed not very valuable.
Wang Cuimei and his wife have good careers. Although the money they earn is not huge, it has surpassed 99% of the people in the country.
They have money and leisure, so they are naturally willing to buy some jewelry to wear.
When Jiang Li saw this box full of jewelry, he knew that Wang Cuimei was the best representative among them.
However, gold can maintain its value, so it’s not too early to buy these things. After ten or twenty years, you can indeed exchange them for a lot of money.
Jiang Li was still sighing secretly in her heart, but Wang Cuimei had already stuffed the box full of gold jewelry into her arms.
"Xiao Li, aunt usually doesn't like to wear jewelry, but she just likes to buy it. It just so happens that I don't need it myself, so I'll give you this box of jewelry."
