All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Yue Qingyun, Yue Qingzhi and Yue Chengwen are all well-behaved and obedient children. Ever since they saw the table full of sumptuous dishes, their stomachs couldn't help but growl.

It was not until Yue Wenxuan announced that it was time to eat that the three of them carefully picked up the dishes on the table and began to eat voraciously.

Yue Hongan and Wang Yutong were very pleased and satisfied to see the children eating so happily. They knew very well that this would be a new beginning for the children.

Previously, when they lived in a research base in the frontier, their children could only live in a very small and closed environment, and they were deeply worried about their children's future. For the couple, no matter how much hardship they had to endure, they could accept it because it was their own choice.

But in addition to being researchers, they are also parents of three children. They can endure hardships, but their children cannot be without a future. They have also been distressed and hesitant, not knowing what to do.

Fortunately, all this is over, and they have returned to the big city, giving the children a broader world and a brighter future.

For them, this meal is not just a simple lunch, but also the beginning of children's beautiful vision of urban life.

Although he had not been in contact with the three children for a long time, Yue Wenxuan had already discovered that the three children from the fourth brother's family were a bit introverted, especially in terms of common sense, which they seemed to lack.

After learning this, Yue Wenxuan felt even more compassion for the three children. The children had been trapped in a small living circle since they were born, and this situation was inevitable.

Yue Wenxuan occasionally put down his chopsticks and patiently introduced the dishes on the table and the sources of the ingredients to the children. He hoped that in this way, the children would broaden their horizons and learn more about the world.

After lunch, the family gathered together and talked lively.

Everyone is very concerned about Yue Hongan's living conditions at the research base over the years, and the most frequently asked questions are about this aspect.

Yue Hongan and his wife are adults after all, so when they talk about their experiences over the years, they mostly report good news rather than bad news, and try to tell some interesting things to make everyone happy.

The three children did not have such a concept, and when they were called on to answer questions, they would always answer truthfully. Through the children's stories, everyone knew how much suffering Yue Hongan's family had endured over the years.

The frontier is full of sandstorms, cold weather, and lack of water. There are inconveniences everywhere in life. For the children, the biggest inconvenience is that they don’t have good food. Most of the time, the base only provides one or two kinds of vegetables. Eating like this for a long time can make people vomit.

Listening to the three children complaining one after another, Yue Hongan and Wang Yutong could only smile bitterly.

Yue Chengwen held his grandfather's hand and asked expectantly, "Grandpa, today's meal is so delicious. Can we have it again in the future? Every dish today is so delicious that I have never tasted it before. Even the scallion pancakes are so fragrant. I love them very much. It would be great if we could eat like this every day in the future!"

"As long as you come to my place for dinner, I can guarantee that you will enjoy your meal."

Yue Wenxuan's promise was full of temptation. Yue Chengwen turned back and took his father's hand and said, "Dad, can we always live with grandpa? I like grandpa, can we not leave?"

"I can promise you to stay at your grandfather's house for a few more days. But Dad and Mom can't stay idle at home all the time. They have to go to work, and you have to go to school. So... we can't stay at your grandfather's house forever."

Yue Hongan did not lie to his youngest son because of his pleading, but chose to tell the truth.

Seeing the disappointed look in his grandson's eyes, Yue Wenxuan sighed secretly. He put down the teacup in his hand and said to his son, "Come with me to the study and sit for a while. I have something to say to you."

The father and son came to the study. Yue Wenxuan asked his son to sit opposite him and asked directly, "Old Four, you don't have to go to work these few days. Do you have any plans?"

"It's the first time for all three children to visit the capital. I plan to take them around, such as visiting the Forbidden City and climbing the Great Wall."

"We should take the children out for a couple of days of fun. They have been confined to a small base since they were born, and now they finally have the opportunity to live in a big city. First of all, we should let them broaden their horizons.

In addition to the three children, you should also pay more attention to Yutong.

I still remember her sunny look when I first met her. Yutong at that time dressed much more fashionably than she does now.

Now that you are back in the big city, it is convenient for you to buy daily groceries, so it is time to buy her a few more sets of new clothes."

Seeing the slightly embarrassed expression on his son's face, he guessed that his son must be short of cloth coupons.

Yue Wenxuan took the initiative to say: "I don't have so many cloth coupons and clothing coupons, but I am not short of foreign exchange."

He opened the drawer, took out a stack of bills, and stuffed it directly into his son's hand. "Here is five thousand dollars. Use it first. When you run out of money, tell me and I'll get you more."

Yue Wenxuan would certainly not be stingy when it comes to his own son. With his current financial resources, he would be willing to give the fourth son directly $1.8 million.

But the time is not right yet. If he really does this, it might scare the fourth brother into something bad.

At least we have to give children a period of adaptation. As the country becomes more and more open, children's concepts will naturally change slowly.

Sure enough, even though he only took out five thousand dollars, it still scared the fourth brother.

Yue Hongan's salary was considered high, less than 200 yuan per month. He had never seen so much foreign exchange at one time, and the 5,000 US dollars in his hand were more important to him.

Without even a second thought, he quickly handed the stack of money back to Yue Wenxuan and said anxiously, "Dad, why are you giving me so much money? Yutong and I both have good salaries, so we don't need to worry."

“I know you two have high salaries and should not be short of money, but how can you not be short of tickets?
Yutong and a few children have just come to the big city from the dusty frontier. Don’t you want to buy them some new clothes?
Let me tell you, the clothes sold at the Friendship Store are really beautiful. Not only are the materials good, but the styles are also new. If you buy a few clothes for your children from the Friendship Store, they will definitely be very happy. "

Yue Hongan felt a little helpless. He was already in his forties, and his father still spoke to him in this tone.

His father's sincere love made him feel warm in his heart, but he still said: "Dad, Yutong and the children have just arrived in the big city. They are easy to satisfy and don't have high demands. Just buying a piece of clothing in a department store can make them happy for a long time.

The foreign currency you gave me is too much. I have never seen what 5,000 US dollars looks like in my life. Even if you give it to me, I definitely have no place to spend it, so I don’t want it.

There are so many people in our family, and some of them are students. Our daily expenses must be high. You should keep it for yourself."

Yue Wenxuan picked up the banknotes and stuffed them back into his son's hand, saying firmly:
"Just take it! It's only 5,000 yuan. It's just pocket money I gave you. You're so timid. Don't let the kids laugh at you.

Haven’t I told you that I made a sum of money in Hong Kong Island? The amount is huge, enough for our family to live a high-consumption lifestyle.

Your father is not the kind of person who brags about his wealth. He has been very low-key for so many years. Since I can give you this money, it means that I have the ability to do so. "

"Is it so easy to make money in Hong Kong Island?" Yue Hongan didn't quite believe it, but at the same time he was very curious. "Dad, you are so old, and you can actually make money by going to Hong Kong Island. I am really surprised."

"It's hard to make money anywhere. The fact that I can make money just shows that I have the ability. It's a gift from God. You deserve to follow me and enjoy the good life."

The fourth brother is already a middle-aged man in his forties, and Yue Wenxuan certainly cannot fool him.

Yue Wenxuan had made his words so clear, so the fourth brother no longer refused. He picked up the money again, stuffed it into his pocket, and said helplessly:
"I am already over 40 years old, but I still receive pocket money from my father, and it is $5,000. What kind of feeling is this? Others can't imagine it."

"Just go back and dream on. Your dad is almost 70 years old, and he can still go to the capitalist society to make money for you to spend. You should really feel proud."

After saying this, Yue Wenxuan laughed first, and the fourth brother also laughed along.

Yue Hongan and his wife have been gone for more than ten years. They have just reunited with their family and have a lot to say.

However, Yue Wenxuan took into consideration that they must be very tired after sitting on the train for several days and nights, so after several students went to school, he let the family go to their rooms to rest.

The children were full of energy and didn't feel tired at all, but Yue Hongan and his wife were indeed very tired. They returned to their house in Building No. 3, sent their three children away, and lay on the bed, not wanting to move.

Now that there was no one else around, Yue Hongan took out the stack of US dollars from his pocket, shook it in front of Wang Yutong, and said with a show-off look on his face: "Yutong, look at what this is?"

After sitting on the train for several days and nights, Wang Yutong was exhausted. She was lying on the bed, not wanting to move at all. She didn't even open her eyes and responded casually: "Don't disturb me, I just want to have a good sleep now."

"Take a look before you go to sleep. If you take a look, you may not be able to fall asleep."

At the urging of her husband, Wang Yutong struggled to open her eyes a crack. When she saw the colorful banknotes in front of her, she didn't react for a moment, then suddenly opened her eyes wide and sat up abruptly.

Wang Yutong had seen US dollars when he was a teenager and had played with one for a long time, so he was not unfamiliar with the US dollar.

Yue Hongan stuffed all the money in his hand into his wife's hand and laughed: "They say that money makes people greedy. Today I finally saw an example of this."

The stack of US dollars in his hand seemed to be too much and was really a bit scary. Wang Yutong no longer had time to retort. He held the money tightly and counted them one by one.

Yue Hongan was making trouble nearby, saying, "Do you know US dollars? Don't make a mistake in counting them. If you miss one or two, our family will suffer a huge loss." Wang Yutong was concentrating on counting the money and ignored Yue Hongan. After she finished counting, she asked excitedly, "It's five thousand dollars in total. This should be what your father gave you, right?"

"How do you know it was given by our father?"

Wang Yutong rolled her eyes at Yue Hongan and said, "If it wasn't given to you by your father, could it have been given to you by Aunt Zeng?"

Yue Hongan said somewhat embarrassedly: "How could Aunt Zeng give me so much money? You are dreaming."

"I always thought my dad was too lavish when it came to spending money, as if the family had a mountain of gold and silver and he could never spend it all.

It seems that my feeling is correct. Our father is indeed not an ordinary person, and the wealth he has should be extraordinary.

The key is that my father is really good to you. You are really my father's biological son. Five thousand dollars is a huge sum of money!"

After hearing what his wife said, Yue Hongan said proudly: "The old saying is right, 'The emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son.' I am our father's oldest son. If our father doesn't love me, who else can he love?
I still remember the time I spent in college. Although it was the most difficult period, I really didn’t suffer any hardship, let alone go hungry.

Every Saturday when I go back home, my dad always finds ways to make delicious food for me, and when I go back to school on Sunday afternoon, he packs a bag of snacks for me, enough for me to eat for a week. "

Wang Yutong and Yue Hongan have experienced this period of time together. Recalling the past, Wang Yutong said with emotion: "Dad is really good to you. He can think of everything for you. Sometimes I feel a little jealous when I see it."

"I never regretted working in the border areas, but being separated from my father for such a long time was really tormenting for me."

Seeing her husband suddenly become emotional, Wang Yutong quickly changed the subject and said, "Dad loves you, but you can't be too ungrateful and make things difficult for him.

My father has seven children, so even if he favors you a little, he shouldn’t go too far. You know that my father favors you, so you should also consider him more.”

Wang Yutong raised the stack of dollars in his hand and said, "This is a full five thousand dollars! How dare you take such a large sum of money? How can you be so shameless?

Since our father has this kind gift, we must accept it happily, but it would be inappropriate for you to take it all.

According to our family's financial situation, we shouldn't have asked for it. After all, our salaries are high, which is more than enough for our daily life.

We are not short of money, but we are short of tickets!
We have been working in the border area for so many years and have basically no contact with the outside world. Everything is supplied on demand and we haven't saved up a single ticket.

Now that we have arrived in the capital, we have settled down here with our family, and there are so many things we need to buy, and we cannot do without some money.

Since my father is so thoughtful, I think it would be better to keep 500 US dollars. After exchanging it for foreign exchange certificates, it should be enough for whatever you want to buy."

Yue Hongan was deeply moved when he heard his lover's clear analysis and arrangements.

He felt that he was extremely lucky in his life. He had the best father in the world and the most virtuous wife in the world. He really had no regrets in his life.

Yue Hongan tightly grasped his wife's hand and said emotionally: "Yutong, I am so happy to marry you in this life!"

Wang Yutong raised his hand and gently patted his lover's arm, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are already an old couple, why are you still being sentimental?

It's all your fault. You took out so much money to scare me. I was about to go into a trance, but you made me blinded by the money. Now my whole head is full of excitement and I can't fall asleep even if I want to."

"It's rare that you are so excited, so I'll give you all this money. As for how to spend it, it's up to you."

"You better think about it. Don't use such a large sum of dollars to test me. I am not as firm as you think. I can't stand this kind of test."

Seeing his wife's expression suddenly become solemn, Yue Hongan also said solemnly:
"I've thought about it. From now on, these five thousand dollars will be our family's pocket money. This is not what I said, these are my father's original words.

Like you, I am not the kind of person who is greedy for money. I have already declined, but my father insisted on giving it to me. He said that it was pocket money for our family and I could spend it as I pleased and ask for more after I had spent it all.

With such a generous father, I can only be a useless son and happily accept it. "

Seeing the helpless yet proud expression on her husband's face, Wang Yutong suddenly found it very funny and burst into laughter.

"Don't you think it's funny? I feel like I'm the only one who can experience such interesting things. This feeling is quite strange." Yue Hongan also laughed.

After the two of them finished laughing, Wang Yutong counted the stack of dollars in his hand again. The amount was exactly the same, still five thousand dollars.

Holding the US dollars tightly in his hand, Wang Yutong said with great anticipation:
“Although Qingyun and the other two are dressed fairly cleanly, their clothes look too rustic. If they wear such clothes to school, they will definitely be laughed at by their classmates.

Now that we have US dollars in our hands, we can go to the Friendship Store to buy the children two better sets of clothes, so that they can appear in front of their classmates with a brand new look. "

Then she looked down at the clothes on her lover and said with some disdain:
“I told you last year to buy a new set of clothes, but you didn’t listen.

You have been wearing this outfit for three years. Although there are no patches on it, it has faded.

We are going to have a new colleague soon. If you keep wearing such shabby clothes and walking around in front of the new colleague all day long, I'm afraid my reputation as a virtuous woman will be ruined by you.

You have to listen to me this time. At least you have to buy two new sets of clothes and two new pairs of leather shoes. You have to dress yourself up. If I let you go to work in sloppy clothes again, I will lose face. "

"I'll do whatever you say. Don't just worry about me and the kids, what about yourself? I think you need to buy two sets of clothes for all four seasons, especially summer clothes. You have to buy everything.

It is a new era now, and long skirts are everywhere on the streets. We should keep up with the trend of the times. I will never forget the first time I saw you, you were wearing a light blue blouse, standing tall and graceful, so beautiful.

The dresses at the Friendship Store are definitely prettier. I must buy you a few this time so we can have new clothes every day."

Seeing her husband's heroic look, Wang Yutong was also moved.

She grew up in a well-off family and was the youngest child in the family. She was always loved and spoiled by her parents. Before getting married, she always paid great attention to dressing and never accepted anything less.

After getting married, the couple had high salaries, and Yue Wenxuan provided financial support from time to time, so they never had any hardship in life.

But everything changed after the two went to the frontier. Unconsciously, Wang Yutong also developed the habit of thrift and even began to be fussy about many details in life.

She doesn't like herself for being so petty, but she has to become this kind of person due to the pressure of life.

With five thousand dollars in her hand, she did become excited, just as her husband joked that she was blinded by the money.

Although it was a joke, it was not wrong. The education she received since childhood prevented her from becoming a slave to money and she did not have much desire for money. She did not desire the life of a wealthy lady, but she also disliked the lifestyle of calculating every penny. Her ideal lifestyle did not require great wealth, she just wanted to live a relaxed life without too much pressure in life.

The five thousand dollars in her hand is enough to realize her wish.

The extremely excited mental state at this moment is the most true reflection of one's inner feelings and cannot tolerate any falsehood.

Yue Wenxuan was very concerned about the housing problem of the fourth brother. After making sure that there would be no changes in the fourth brother's work assignment, he began to look for a house.

Having already had a successful experience in buying a house, Yue Wenxuan was not in a hurry and went to the Housing Authority again.

Faced with this extremely rare old comrade who was willing to settle in US dollars, the leaders of the Housing Authority showed the most enthusiastic service attitude. After understanding Yue Wenxuan's requirements, they immediately recommended seven or eight properties under the Housing Authority to him.

After Yue Wenxuan had a general understanding of the conditions of these houses, he selected three that he was relatively satisfied with.

These houses are all very close to the fourth brother’s workplace, so Ye Wenxuan doesn’t have to worry about which one to choose in the end. It all depends on what the fourth brother and his wife think.

With these three alternative houses, Yue Wenxuan felt relieved. After the fourth brother and his family had a good time for a few days, they could go to see the houses in person with the staff of the Housing Authority.

With his financial support and the relatively low prices of these properties, solving the housing problem of the fourth brother's family is just a small matter.

After the fourth child had looked at the three houses and made his choice, Yue Wenxuan also planned to take over the task of buying furniture and daily necessities, in order to prevent the fourth child from being petty and buying some shabby things to fool people.

Surprises often come together. Before the excitement of the family reunion had passed, Yue Wenxuan received good news from his hometown.
