Chapter 684 685. Yue Wenxuan's generosity and his family's first shock

Zeng Danling looked at Yue Wenxuan in surprise, "I have always felt that you were too doting on Hongxiu, but I didn't expect it to reach this level. I really don't know what you were thinking to have such an idea."

"Isn't this a good idea? If the two of us go to Kyoto to accompany your studies, you won't have to be so reluctant to leave like you are now." Yue Wenxuan said calmly.

"Can you be more realistic? I have a job. I can't give up my job just because I can't bear to leave my daughter. If I really did something like that, I would be laughed at.

Not to mention me who has a job, even if you are retired and no longer burdened by work, it is still unrealistic to go to Kyoto to accompany your child in his studies.

It's not like you'll be staying there for just ten days or half a month. Hongxiu will be studying at university there for four years. Do you think you can stay in Kyoto to accompany him for four years?
Housing and food issues are practical problems that are difficult to resolve. They may be manageable when you are staying there for a few days, but they will become obstacles over a long period of time.

You are so old, but you always come up with something you want to do. You are too fanciful!" Zeng Danling scolded.

"Everything depends on human effort. Just tell me whether you want to go to Kyoto to accompany your child to study. As long as you want to go, there is always a way to solve it."

"Of course I want to go. If you can transfer my job to Kyoto, I will definitely support it with both hands, but can you solve this problem?"

Zeng Danling is not against accompanying children to study abroad, but she thinks it is too difficult and impossible to do.

"It's indeed not easy to transfer you to Kyoto for work, but it's not completely impossible. Let me think of a solution, maybe it will work?" From the tone of Yue Wenxuan's voice, you can tell that he doesn't have much confidence.

"Hearing you speak so confidently, I thought you were very confident. Turns out you're just giving it a try. Don't make me happy." Zeng Danling was a little disappointed.

Although she didn't believe Yue Wenxuan had the ability, Zeng Danling would definitely be happy if her work could really be more refined.

Without a doubt, her daughter Yue Hongxiu was the most important person in her heart. If she could really go to Beijing to study with him as Yue Wenxuan said, it would definitely be something she wished for.

Although Yue Wenxuan had already made this plan, he was not sure about transferring his wife's job to Kyoto. His connections were basically in the province, and he did not have any direct and strong connections in Kyoto.

If he wants to transfer his lover to Kyoto for work, he has to ask around to see if there are any indirect connections that can be used. Even if it can be done, it certainly won't be easy.

But Yue Wenxuan has always been confident. If he is determined to accomplish this task, it will at most be a little troublesome, but he should still be able to accomplish it.

Zeng Danling was given hope by Yue Wenxuan. Although she knew that the possibility of transferring her job to Beijing was very small, her mood finally improved.

Six people from my Yue family were admitted to college at once, which made everyone who knew about it extremely envious. Such a big happy event must be celebrated properly.

Now the Yue family's population is growing, and if the whole family goes out together, they can't cook at home. Even Yue Wenxuan's two small rooms are not enough for so many people to sit together.

In the end, Yue Wenxuan treated the whole family to a meal, and the family booked three large tables at Cuihu Tower.

Now that we have entered a new era, Yue Wenxuan has become more relaxed and ordered a table full of delicious dishes, making the whole family very happy.

After lunch, several prospective college students discussed going out shopping. Yue Hongxiu didn't have much pocket money, so she took advantage of her father's happiness and pulled his sleeve and said coquettishly:
"Dad, don't you have any reward for us getting into college? Look at us, we are dressed so simply, shouldn't we buy some clothes before registering for school?"

Yue Wenxuan had this plan in mind, so he promised, "There should be rewards. How about this? I won't prepare anything specific for you. I will sponsor each of you 100 yuan for the costumes."

"One hundred yuan for the clothing fee! And everyone gets one. Did I hear it right?" Yue Hongxiu widened his eyes, a little bit unbelievable.

Yue Wenxuan was very happy to see his daughter's shocked look. "If you feel that you can't spend it, you can spend less."

"Spend it, spend it!" Yue Hongxiu tightly grabbed Yue Wenxuan's sleeve and shook it continuously, "Thank you for the reward, Dad. I will dress myself up beautifully to go to college and not embarrass Dad."

Suddenly, a hundred yuan of costume fees fell from the sky, which made Yue Chengliang very happy. "My aunt is really amazing. She got us a hundred yuan of costume fees with just one sentence. Thank you, aunt."

"Thank you, my lovely and beautiful aunt, and thank you, my generous and magnanimous grandfather." Yue Qingmei also joined in the fun.

Yue Qinghe and others also followed suit and expressed their gratitude.

After the children left, Yue Wenxuan did not let them go home. He said with a serious expression:
"While we're all here today, I have something to tell you. There are so many people coming and going in the hotel, so it's not convenient to talk. I'll tell you after we get home."

Everyone didn't know what the father was going to say, and each had their own guesses in their minds.

After returning to the grain compound, Yue Wenxuan locked the door after entering to prevent anyone from coming in suddenly.

Seeing their old father's mysterious look, Yue Wenxuan's children were very curious. Even Zeng Danling couldn't guess what her lover was going to do.

Letting everyone sit down, Yue Wenxuan said: "Don't be curious, I have good news to tell you.

Now that we have entered a new era, life will certainly get better and better. The supply of materials is becoming more abundant and diversified. Compared with previous years, it is much more convenient to buy things, and some things don’t even require tickets.

The supply of materials is indeed abundant now, but wages have not increased much. When you were young, you all lived a hard life with me, and even if you had money, you were reluctant to spend it, or reluctant to enjoy it.

I just want to tell you today that our family is actually quite wealthy, and I have the ability to give you a good life."

No one expected that Dad would say such a thing. Everyone looked at each other in shock.

Even Zeng Danling looked at Yue Wenxuan with strange eyes. She had been married to Yue Wenxuan for nearly 20 years and lived with him every day. Of course, she knew that Yue Wenxuan had some little secrets, but she had never deliberately explored them.

"Dad, our ancestors were also wealthy. Did my grandfather leave you some gold and silver treasures?" The eldest son Yue Hongguo expressed his guess.

Others had the same idea. Besides, they couldn't guess where Dad's so-called wealth came from.

Yue Wenxuan glared at his eldest son and said, "If your grandfather had left some wealth behind, your eldest aunt and your two uncles wouldn't have had to suffer so much when they were young.

Before liberation, our family was already so poor that we couldn't even afford to eat. If we still had gold, silver, and treasures, how could we let you suffer so much? That's impossible!"

“Then where did this family fortune you mentioned come from? It couldn’t have been picked up for free, right?” the second son Yue Hongtai also asked in confusion.

"Although it's impossible that I picked it up for free, it's almost the same. The family fortune I'm talking about is the inheritance left to me by my teacher Lu Changhui." This was the most appropriate excuse that Yue Wenxuan had thought of a long time ago.

Without waiting for the children to continue asking, he went on to explain: "Teacher Lu Changhui is from a prominent family. His ancestors produced many high-ranking officials, but they were not prosperous. By his generation, he was the only one left in the entire family.

Mr. Lu also studied abroad, and he only taught in a middle school for one year. During this period, we didn’t have much contact.

During the war, we met again, and I saved his life by chance. I didn't pay much attention to it, but Mr. Lu kept it in mind.

Mr. Lu passed away in the 1960s. He had no descendants, so he left all his inheritance to me. "

Although Yue Wenxuan's narration was very brief, everyone understood what he meant.

The third brother, Yue Hongmin, stared with his eyes wide open and asked in shock, "Dad, did this old man Lu leave you a lot of inheritance? How come you have never mentioned such a big thing before?"

The eldest slapped the third child hard on the shoulder and said, "Are you stupid? The wind direction was so tight before, how can Daddy tell anyone about this kind of thing?

I think I shouldn't tell you now. If you don't keep your mouth shut, it might bring big trouble to our family."

The third brother glared at the eldest brother and said unconvincedly, "I have been transferred to the Public Security Bureau now. Keeping a tight mouth is my most basic professional quality. How could I possibly let something slip?"

"I'm just reminding you in advance, and everyone else as well, that we must keep this important matter confidential and not leak even a single detail."

Yue Hongguo said this to the third brother and to everyone present.

The second brother followed up and said, "Don't worry, big brother. There is no fool in our family. No one will talk nonsense about such an important matter."

"It's right to keep your mouth shut and try to keep it secret, but there's no need to be overly vigilant. It's not good to tell everyone about this matter, but at the right opportunity, if necessary, I will explain it to the organization."

In the future, when Yue Wenxuan takes out a large amount of property, it will definitely arouse suspicion. Given his prudence, he will certainly give a reasonable explanation.

This sudden news made everyone a little confused. Although no one knew how much the inheritance was, they were still shocked to hear this news suddenly.

Yue Wenxuan's children all stared with their eyes wide open, as if they were looking at a father they didn't know at all. Zeng Danling was also shocked. Although she knew that Yue Wenxuan had some little secrets, she had never thought that there would be such a surprise.

"This... is this true? Why do I feel like I'm listening to a story? It seems so unreal." Zeng Danling's voice was trembling a little.

Yue Wenxuan nodded, "Of course it's true. How could I lie to you about such a big thing?"

"Dad, how much inheritance did Mr. Lu leave you?" The third son Yue Hongmin couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. Yue Wenxuan smiled and said mysteriously, "Well, I can't tell you for now. But I can guarantee that this inheritance is enough for our family to live a very comfortable life."

Hearing this, the children became excited.

They knew from a young age that their family conditions were average. Although their parents loved them very much, the financial difficulties in life still made them suffer a lot, and they even felt a little inferior at times.

Even after liberation, when my father became a leader and they each had good jobs, their monthly supplies were still limited, so their life could only be considered okay, but far from being rich.

Now that we suddenly hear that our family has such a large inheritance, everyone will inevitably use their imagination and have infinite longing for future life.

As the boss, Yue Hongguo calmed down first. He thought for a while and then suggested:

"Dad, from what you said, this inheritance should be a large sum of money, but we can't spend it carelessly. We still have to have a plan. It should be used in the most critical areas, such as the children's marriage and finding jobs.

We probably won’t need this inheritance for our daily life. After all, we all have good jobs now and our salaries are not low, so we should have no problem covering our daily expenses.”

"Yes, eldest brother is right." The second brother Yue Hongtai also agreed, "We are living well now, and we really don't need this money. Knowing that our family still has such a large family fortune, we have confidence, and that's enough."

Zeng Danling also said: "Wenxuan, you are the backbone of the family. It is up to you to decide how to use the money."

Yue Wenxuan was very satisfied with the children's performance.

He chose to announce the news today, on the one hand to find an excuse for his upcoming long journey, and on the other hand to improve the lives of his family.

After entering the new era, without as many constraints as before, Yue Wenxuan should also take out the treasures hidden in the deep mountains of Northeast China and the Tsar’s treasures in Lake Baikal.

After taking out these treasures, he also planned to go to Hong Kong Island to exchange the gold for cash. Most of it would be used for investment, and the rest would be brought back to China to improve his life and invest in collecting antiques and modern calligraphy and painting works.

As the 1980s approached, supplies became more and more abundant, but most items still needed to be purchased with coupons. Although Yue Wenxuan was not short of money, he did not have so many coupons, and his quality of life was still limited.

Only after he has foreign currency in his hand can he go to the Friendship Store or the Overseas Chinese Counter to buy anything he wants.

Before leaving, he planned to set aside some money to improve the lives of his children.

With this excuse, the children will definitely accept it with peace of mind. As for whether they will use the money to improve their lives after accepting it, it is not his concern.

Just like the eldest couple, they usually live frugally, and even if they have the money he gives them, they will probably still save it. But Yue Wenxuan will not force them to change their living habits. Once they get used to the life of rich people, they will slowly change sooner or later.

Yue Wenxuan had already considered how much money was appropriate to give to the children to improve their lives. He continued:

"I will treat all seven of you brothers and sisters equally and give each of you a deposit certificate of 10,000 yuan to improve your daily life.

There has been no news from Lao Si, so I will keep his share for him. As for Hong Xiu's share, I will give it to your Aunt Zeng for the time being."

After hearing Yue Wenxuan's words, the whole room seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force, and the air froze.

Ten thousand yuan is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for people of this era!
Even for a leading cadre like Yue Wenxuan, the annual salary is only 2,000 yuan. After deducting expenses, if he can save 1,000 yuan in a year, he is already very frugal.

As the eldest son in the family, Yue Hongguo was the first to recover from his shock. He stared at Yue Wenxuan with wide eyes, his lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

His heart was full of doubts and excitement, and this sudden good news made him a little overwhelmed.

The third brother, Yue Hongmin, jumped up and shouted excitedly, "Ten thousand yuan! My God, I have never seen so much money in my life!"

His voice echoed in the room, with a hint of disbelief and surprise.

Although the second brother Yue Hongtai was usually calm, he couldn't help showing his excitement at this moment. He clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to calm his inner excitement in this way.

The eldest daughter, Yue Hongyan, was so moved that her eyes filled with tears. She had lived a hard life with her parents since she was a child, and became a widow in middle age. She was the one who suffered the most among all the children.

She hugged Yue Wenxuan tightly and said with a choked voice: "Dad, we have money now, we can live a good life!"

Compared with her elder sister, Yue Hongying is quite calm. After all, she has not suffered much since childhood, and her life after marriage is very happy.

Zeng Danling was so shocked by this sudden good news that she was speechless. She had always known that her lover had a secret, but she didn't expect it to be such a surprise.

Yue Wenxuan looked at his children's excitement and felt very relieved.

He patted the table and said loudly, "Okay, don't get excited. Just keep this money and spend it when you need it. Don't save it. Now that our family has the conditions, we should live a good life.

It is not convenient to distribute other things in the inheritance, such as jade and porcelain, to you for the time being. Each of you has such a small place, and even if you are given it, you have no place to put it. "

After hearing Yue Wenxuan's words, everyone expressed their understanding. In the 1970s, 10,000 yuan was indeed a huge sum of money. For ordinary people, this was a fortune that they could not save in several lifetimes. Everyone said that having 10,000 yuan was already a huge surprise, and they could not use it at all, so they didn't want anything else.

Yue Hongguo was the first to speak out: "Dad, you are right. Our lives are much better now than before. This ten thousand yuan is a great help to us and we can't spend it at all.

As for the other things, we really have no place to put them, and there is no need for them. You should keep the other things yourself."

Yue Hongtai also agreed, "Yes, Dad. Our life is already very good now. This ten thousand yuan is just icing on the cake for us. We really don't need anything else."

Although Yue Hongmin is usually careless, he said seriously at this moment: "Dad, I understand your good intentions. This ten thousand yuan is a huge sum of money for us, and I will cherish it. As for the other things, I really have no place to put them, and I don't want them."

Yue Hongying was very surprised to see 10,000 yuan falling from the sky. She smiled and said:

"Dad, we are all very grateful to you. This ten thousand dollars is enough for us, and we will use it to improve our lives. You can keep the rest."

Knowing that the children were so happy and surprised, Yue Wenxuan did not interrupt them. He waited until they stopped talking before continuing:

"I'm quite content. I won't give you anything else, but I can give each of you two large yellow croakers to make you happy first."

After saying this, Yue Wenxuan turned back into the room and brought out two boxes.

He opened one of them first, took out a stack of passbooks, gave two to each person, and said:
"Each deposit certificate is for a fixed term of 5,000 yuan, and each person gets two. If you want to continue to earn interest, just keep saving. If you want to use it to improve your life, you can withdraw it at any time."

After saying this, he gave each person two deposit certificates.

After receiving the deposit certificates, the joy on everyone's faces was beyond words.

Ten thousand yuan is an astronomical figure for them in this era. If it is fully utilized, it is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in everyone's life.

Yue Hongguo held the two thin deposit slips in his hands, but they felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and his hands were shaking slightly.

Yue Hongmin was cheering and at this moment he was like a child, circling around Yue Wenxuan with a bright smile on his face.

The eldest daughter Yue Hongyan hugged Zeng Danling tightly. She was obviously very happy and excited, but tears fell like pearls from a broken string.

Yue Hongxiu and Yue Hongying looked at the deposit certificates in their hands with a smile, their hearts filled with gratitude and joy.

When everyone calmed down a little, Yue Wenxuan opened another box.

In the box are neatly arranged glittering gold bars, each of which sparkles with alluring light, dazzling the eyes and emitting endless temptation.

Yue Wenxuan picked up two gold bars, handed them to Yue Hongguo, and said, "These are two large yellow croakers. Two for each of you. Keep them well."

Yue Hongguo took the gold bars and felt that they were very heavy. This was the first time in his life that he had gold, and two unimaginable large yellow croakers. His eyes were slightly red and his voice was choked with sobs, "Dad, this is too expensive, we..."

Yue Wenxuan interrupted him: "We are all family, there is no such thing as expensive or inexpensive. Sooner or later, I will give you two each, just to let you get used to it in advance."

Then, Yue Wenxuan distributed the gold bars to his other children and Zeng Danling one by one.

After receiving the gold bars, everyone's face was filled with indescribable joy and excitement.

There is no one in this world who doesn't like gold, especially the feeling of owning gold for the first time. The excitement and happiness in your heart almost burst out of your chest.
