A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

After Zhong Ziyan came back from the Northwest, everyone has been busy and hasn't had time to get together.

It was a rare occasion that everyone was together today, so Yun Run and his wife invited the whole family to dinner. It was a belated meeting of the in-laws, and Grandma Yun also came.

Grandma Yun originally wanted to invite Yun Nianzhou and his wife as well, but Yun Runtong thought of the unpleasant ending last time, so she did not agree.

The two protagonists, Gu Qinghuan and Yun Jiuzhou, became shy, which was unusual for them.

The two have actually been married for almost two years, and this is the first time that the parents of both sides have officially met.

The meal was very warm. We were all old friends and very familiar with each other. We all came from well-educated families and were well matched, so there was no barrier between us.

During the tea and chat time after dinner, Liang Zhiqiu took out two boxes.

"Huanhuan is our Xiaojiu's benefactor. We met when we were young, and now we have finally achieved our goal.

As parents, we are naturally happy for our children. Here is a little betrothal gift that my husband and I prepared for Huanhuan. I hope you don’t mind it.” Liang Zhiqiu opened the box and handed it to Zhong Zijun.

Xiaojiu is the nickname for Yun Jiuzhou. There is already a son named Zhou Zhou in the family, and Liang Zhiqiu doesn't want to confuse the two children.

In traditional Chinese concepts, a child's marriage is mainly decided by the parents. In addition, girls are reserved and implicit, so she pushed the betrothal gift to Zhong Zijun at the first opportunity.

Zhong Zijun did not refuse. It was natural for men and women to get married. Besides, she had also prepared a dowry for her daughter.

She bent down and counted the things inside. There were two properties, one was a three-courtyard quadrangle located in the old city, and the other was in their area, also a Western-style building. If she lived here, it would be very close to her parents' home in the future. It must be said that Liang Zhiqiu was thoughtful.

When she saw the property ownership certificate for another building, her expression froze for a moment. This was too generous.

This building is the largest department store in Beijing. I didn’t expect that the property rights belong to her family. How generous!

With this building as a safety net, the two children can just lie down and do nothing, and they will never starve to death. The considerable rent every year can allow them to live a comfortable life.

In addition to the house and the building, there was also money and a savings book with a full 10,000 yuan.

Inside the small box was a box of jewelry, all of which were carefully selected by Liang Zhiqiu and suitable for young people. There were jade, gems, and gold, everything you could think of for you to choose from.

From this box of things, one can see the other party's intentions. Because he didn't know Gu Qinghuan's preferences, he prepared everything and considered everything very carefully.

Even Zhong Zijun, who had seen the world, was shocked by the lavish betrothal gift.

You know, this is just the betrothal gift.

The Yun family will definitely prepare daily necessities for the young couple.

In this era, the betrothal gift is given to the girl’s family. The girl’s parents can choose to give their daughter away or keep her, and no one will say anything.

In any case, the other party's attitude was impeccable and Zhong Zijun was very satisfied.

There was just one thing. She was wondering if the dowry she had prepared for her child was not enough. After all, the other party had given so many good things.

No, I need to add some more.

Liang Zhiqiu saw what Zhong Zijun was thinking and thought she was dissatisfied, so he immediately added: "Zijun, feel free to ask for anything. As long as my family has it, we can give it to you. We will be happy to marry Huanhuan as our daughter-in-law no matter what it costs."

The future mother-in-law's words pleased Gu Qinghuan, not because of the betrothal gift in front of her, but because of her attitude.

In fact, even if they didn't give a betrothal gift, she and Yun Jiuzhou were already married and the matter was settled.

But they were willing to complete the betrothal gift process and gave her affirmation in front of both sets of relatives, which still touched Gu Qinghuan.

"Enough, enough! I just feel that you gave too much. As a mother, the dowry I prepared is not enough." Zhong Zijun replied quickly.

Sincerity is rewarded with sincerity, there is no excuses and no intrigue, and both families want the best for their two children.

Liang Zhiqiu laughed when he heard this.

"You don't have to worry about anything. Just leave your daughter to our Xiaojiu. When Huanhuan marries into our family, Runtong and I will treat her as our own daughter and will never let her suffer any grievances."

Gu Qinghuan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. She remembered surfing the Internet in later generations and saw that all mothers-in-law would say this before marriage, and they would immediately change their attitude after marriage.

Fortunately, there was no Internet in that era, otherwise Liang Zhiqiu would probably have been exposed online.

Gu Qinghuan just listened to her words. Although it was undeniable that there was some sincerity in her words, Gu Qinghuan had never thought of relying on anyone in her life, including her husband Yun Jiuzhou.

After all, people are alone in this life. As you live, you will find that the only person you can completely trust and rely on is yourself.

Love is just the icing on the cake.

Zhong Zijun, who had been hurt in marriage, didn't believe her words, but her attitude did make people feel comfortable.

Unexpectedly, Liang Zhiqiu's next words made Gu Qinghuan and the others stunned.

"In addition to making up the betrothal gift, we also want to discuss with you today about re-holding the wedding.

The two children fell in love with each other and became a family without any ceremony. It’s a pity to think about it, so we want to make up for it by giving them this ceremony.”

Gu Qinghuan subconsciously looked at Yun Jiuzhou's reaction, and he gave her a knowing smile.

Yun Runtong and his wife had already asked for his opinion, and of course he agreed.

Many times when he attended other people's weddings, the envy in Gu Qinghuan's eyes made him feel uncomfortable. Yun Jiuzhou had been wondering when he would be able to give Gu Qinghuan the best wedding, and now the opportunity had come.

Gu Qinghuan didn't expect that she could still make up for the ceremony two years after getting married. She didn't need to be accused of being pretentious or reminded. People who love her will naturally understand, so she just needs to do it.

At this moment, the love and favor from Yun Jiuzhou and the Yun couple made her feel a little overwhelmed. Although she was smiling, tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhong Zijun burst into tears instantly.

Fortunately, although she set the worst example as a mother and had a failed and unhappy marriage, her daughter did not follow in her footsteps.

The other members of the Zhong family also looked at them with satisfaction.

Gu Qinghuan felt that all his efforts along the way were worth it.

Yun Jiuzhou quietly held her hand.

He was no exception. Gu Qinghuan suddenly appeared like a ray of light, illuminating his entire life. Because of her, he felt that all the hardships he had experienced in the first half of his life were worth it.

They are each other's salvation and are destined to be together for life.
