All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 692 693. Yue Wenxuan's generosity and his family's second shock
Yue Wenxuan's two grandsons, Shao Ruijian and Shao Ruikang, and eldest grandson Yue Chengdong, are all married with children. Originally, according to the conditions for college entrance examination registration, they could also apply, but in the end they all gave up this opportunity.

Among the three, Yue Chengdong has a technical secondary school degree, and the other two only graduated from high school. The academic performance of the three was once outstanding, and they all had a desire to continue their studies.

Later, with the support and advice of Yue Wenxuan, the three of them taught themselves university courses of their personal interest.

Since last fall, the proposal to resume graduate student admissions has been in the works, and a series of admissions policies have been introduced.

Taking into account the special situation that university education has been interrupted for many years, the registration conditions for the resumed postgraduate entrance examination have been relaxed. A university degree is not required, and only actual professional ability is emphasized.

In the national postgraduate entrance examination in May this year, the three of them and 63500 other candidates across the country entered different examination rooms at the same time to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

The first national postgraduate entrance examination in 1978 included subjects such as politics, foreign languages, basic courses and professional courses, all of which were set by the admissions units.

Regarding the postgraduate entrance examination, Yue Wenxuan has a very deep memory of the history of this stage.

With the experience of this year, next year, the postgraduate entrance examination will include an additional professional basic course in addition to the original subjects.

In 1980, political theory courses and foreign languages ​​(English, Russian, and Japanese) implemented national unified examination questions for the first time. Other examination subjects include basic courses, professional foundation courses, and professional courses.

The subject structure of the postgraduate entrance examination in 1980 was used until 2002, with only slight adjustments during this period.

Thanks to Yue Wenxuan's care and support, the three of them never gave up studying during these years, especially their basic professional knowledge was very solid. After the exam, the three of them were very confident and felt that they had performed well.

Just today, the three people finally received their admission letters. They were very lucky to become the first batch of graduate students after the resumption of master's degree admissions. This year, a total of 10708 master's students were admitted nationwide.

After the three of them received their admission letters, the first thing they all thought of was to call Yue Wenxuan to announce the good news.

Yue Wenxuan has always been encouraging and supportive of his three children's decision to apply for postgraduate studies, and he has a certain degree of confidence in them. However, he is not very sure whether they can eventually pass the exam. After all, it depends on their actual performance.

Yue Wenxuan was of course very happy when he finally received the good news call from the three people!
In order to celebrate better, he suggested that the three of them come to Kyoto in advance, and if other family members could also take leave, it would be best if they could come together.

In this way, the children will not go home during the summer vacation, and the other family members can come to Kyoto to reunite with the fourth child, and the whole family will be together.

If it was just to reunite with their children, Yue Hongtai and others who were busy with work might not be willing to take leave. But when they learned that the fourth brother's family, who had not been heard from for many years, had been transferred to Kyoto for work, everyone agreed to the proposal.

The children were coming to Kyoto to reunite with him, and Yue Wenxuan was the happiest one. In order to ensure that so many people had a place to live, he urgently contacted the Housing Authority and prepared to buy a few more houses.

For Yue Wenxuan, an old comrade who was happy to settle in US dollars, the leaders of the Housing Authority gave him the green light as usual. Knowing that he still wanted to buy a house in the Overseas Chinese Park, they urgently coordinated three houses belonging to other units for him.

Two of the three houses are large suites of 180 square meters, and the other is a small suite of 130 square meters. Yue Wenxuan originally had other options, but these three houses have the best decoration and can be moved in without much preparation. Although it costs a little more money, convenience and hassle are the most important to him.

In July, the students at home had their holidays one after another, so Yue Wenxuan didn't have to worry about tidying up the new houses. The children at home worked together and quickly tidied up the three new houses.

With the whole family's anticipation, the relatives from Quancheng finally arrived in Kyoto.

Yue Wenxuan has seven children in total. Now, only his sixteen-year-old daughter Yue Hongxiu and the fourth child's family who have just been transferred to Kyoto are with him. The other five children have finally come from Quancheng to reunite.

Because it was the holiday, the children were all at home with nothing to do, so Yue Wenxuan was not asked to pick them up at the station this time. The fourth child and a few other children did the job.

The fourth brother and other brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for more than ten years. They might cry bitterly when they meet again. Yue Wenxuan is old and doesn't want to see these scenes, so he listened to everyone's advice and didn't go to the station to pick them up.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day, the fourth brother Yue Hongan led a group of more than twenty people into the Overseas Chinese Park.

The eldest brother Yue Hongguo and others had already heard their daughters' various praises about the Overseas Chinese Park on the road. They originally thought that they were exaggerating, but now they personally experienced the green environment of the Overseas Chinese Park, which was like a scenic spot, and they were greatly shocked.

When they entered the house and saw the luxurious interior decoration and trendy furniture, they realized that the children's description was not exaggerated at all.

They were both happy and envious that their father could live in such a luxurious house after arriving in Kyoto.

Yue Wenxuan hadn't seen his children for several months. Now that they were finally reunited, he couldn't help but ask about their recent situation.

There were too many people in the room, and everyone was very excited. The room was full of laughter and everyone had a bright smile on their face.

There are too many people eating today. Even though Wang Liubao and his wife had started preparing yesterday, they were still a little overwhelmed. Without Yue Wenxuan's arrangements, the children took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help.

Yue Wenxuan's family are all from Eastern Province, so dinner is naturally based on Shandong cuisine.

Fortunately, the living room was big enough to accommodate three tables, each of which was filled with dishes carefully prepared by Wang Liubao.

There are many people eating today, so Wang Liubao took this opportunity to fully demonstrate his cooking skills.

The dishes at the main table where Yue Wenxuan sat were mainly Confucius Mansion cuisine, with representative dishes including: The Current Dynasty's First-Class Pot, Imperial Monkey Head, Imperial Scallop Shrimp, Scallops Going to Court, Carp in the Arm, Fairy Duck, and Oil-Splashed Bean Stems.

Yue Wenxuan's grandson and granddaughter-in-law sat at a separate table. The dishes were mainly Quancheng Lixia cuisine, including: sweet and sour carp, nine-turn large intestine, sugar-sauce duck pieces, braised mandarin fish with sauce, fried double crisps, fried tripe, fried chicken cubes, milk soup with water chestnuts, four-happiness meatballs, jar meat, etc.

The girls sat at another table. The dishes on the table were mainly Thai vegetarian dishes and Rizhao medicinal dishes, including:
Steamed duck with Ganoderma lucidum, stewed mutton with Polygonum multiflorum, steamed chicken with four-leaf ginseng, rock sugar and Polygonatum sibiricum soup, pork elbow with ginkgo, almond tofu, mullet eggs, chicken with wine, Beijing winter vegetables, steamed fish, jellyfish with old vinegar, agate ginkgo, fried mint, roasted Erdong, three beauties tofu, etc.

There were also several local Jiaodong dishes, such as braised fish slices in fermented rice, braised shrimp slices, fried oyster roe, steamed grouper, stir-fried sea cucumber with scallions, floating chicken slices, fried blackfish flowers, braised giant clams, fried conch slices, hibiscus scallops, and warm mixed conch, which were added to the three tables.

Although this family are all authentic people from Quanzhou, they have never tasted such rich Shandong cuisine.

They are quite familiar with Lixia cuisine, but they don't know much about Confucius cuisine, Jiaodong cuisine, Thai vegetarian cuisine, and medicated cuisine.

Wang Liubao and his wife sat at two tables other than the main table. They introduced their meals to everyone while they ate. Everyone felt that they had learned a lot.

Every dish on the table received rave reviews, and even the two pastries made by Meng Yinhua were praised by everyone.

What she made today were Qingyou Pansi Pancake and Donggang Jianbing, both of which are classic pasta dishes in Shandong cuisine.

Compared to the classic Donggang pancake, people obviously prefer the clear oil pancake which looks better.

The reason why the Qingyou Pansi Pancake is called "Qingyou" is that it is fried with peanut oil as opposed to animal oil, and "Pansi" is the shape feature of this pancake.

The Pansi Bing is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with evenly distributed golden threads, a sweet and refreshing taste, and thin and even strips that are not uneven, broken, or messy. In Meng Yinhua's hands, it is like a work of art that makes people reluctant to eat it.

Maybe they were too tired after sitting in the car all day, or maybe it was because Wang Liubao and his wife were such great cooks, not only were all the dishes on the tables eaten up, but even the staple food was eaten up completely.

After dinner, the children were full of energy and made an appointment to go for a walk in the community to cool off. Only Shao Ruijian, Shao Ruikang, Shao Ruiyun and Yue Chengdong were specially kept by Yue Wenxuan.

Even though all the windows in the house were open and two electric fans were humming, the living room was still a bit stuffy.

Yue Wenxuan asked everyone to sit down and said, "Since you are all here, I will tell you something.

I went to Hong Kong Island some time ago, and took advantage of this rare opportunity to successfully take over some of the inheritance left by my teacher in Hong Kong Island.

With this inheritance, I had the capital to make a lot of money in the financial market."

Yue Wenxuan saw his fourth son Yue Hongan looking at him in confusion, and explained simply: "I have already told everyone else about the inheritance that Teacher Lu left me. You are the only one who doesn't know. I won't tell you alone today. I will tell you in detail another day."

Yue Hongan could only suppress the doubts in his heart temporarily.

Yue Wenxuan continued, "I made quite a lot of money, and I also set up an investment company in Hong Kong Island. The business has been going well in the past few months.

Now that we have money at home, of course we have to improve our living conditions.

A few days ago, the fourth child just came to Kyoto to settle down. He had money but no tickets, so I gave him 5,000 US dollars as pocket money. As a father, I will definitely treat everyone equally, and the same goes for you guys. What the fourth child has, you will also have.

"

Hearing the figure of five thousand dollars, everyone present showed a look of disbelief.

Such a large sum of money is simply an astronomical figure for them, but in the words of their father Yue Wenxuan, it is just pocket money for them.

Although there had been a similar experience before, such a large amount of pocket money still shocked everyone.

After all, the money is in US dollars!
If Yue Wenxuan had given them RMB this time, even if the amount was larger, they would not have been so surprised. After all, Yue Wenxuan had just given them a deposit certificate of up to 10,000 yuan, and such a large sum of money was still lying on the deposit certificate, and no one had touched it.

Although we have entered a new era, the supply of materials is still quite tight. If you want to buy something you like, it is not enough to have money, you must first have a ticket.

But if the money in hand is in US dollars, it is different. When you take US dollars to the bank to exchange them into RMB, you will also be given the corresponding overseas remittance coupons. With the overseas remittance coupons, you can shop at the Friendship Store or the overseas remittance counter in the shopping mall, and basically you can buy all the in-demand items in China.

Having money but not being able to spend it and being able to buy whatever you want are of course two different experiences.

The third child was more adaptable. He had long been accustomed to his father's generosity over the years. After a moment of surprise, he quickly regained his composure and asked directly:
"Dad, are you really going to give us five thousand dollars? There are so many people in our family, isn't it too much?"

"Didn't I tell you that I made a lot of money in Hong Kong Island? This is just a little pocket money for you. I can afford it." Yue Wenxuan still said it lightly.

The second son, Yue Hongtai, thought more about it. He said sincerely, "The fourth son has suffered for more than ten years in the frontier. We are very happy that he can be transferred back to work.

We had originally discussed helping him together. Let alone giving him 5,000 US dollars, even if you gave him 10,000 US dollars, we would only be happy and would never have any other ideas.

If you are worried that we will misunderstand that you are partial and cannot treat everyone equally, then don't give the money. We absolutely don't have such an intention."

Yue Wenxuan was very happy to hear the second brother's considerate words, but he still said: "It seems that all of you should be living a good life. You are not willing to take 5,000 US dollars for free."

"Dad, if they don't want the money anymore, then you can give it all to me. I just happened to want to buy a refrigerator for my home, and I was a little reluctant to do so. But with your support, I don't feel bad about it anymore. The money has to be spent." The second daughter Yue Hongying said carelessly.

"If they have no objection, it is not impossible to consider it."

As soon as Yue Wenxuan finished speaking, his eldest daughter Yue Hongyan said loudly:
"Dad, you don't care about Hongying. You should whip her for being such a loser.

As soon as I had some money, I started to spend it. I even wanted to buy a refrigerator! Didn't you think about the leftovers at home? Would you buy such an expensive refrigerator and bring it home as a decoration?

Her family just bought a washing machine, but she is still not satisfied. I think she is addicted to spending money and wants to spend it to the sky!"

Looking at the fierce look of her elder sister, Yue Hongying was like a mouse seeing a cat. She did not dare to resist and could only ask her father for help:
"Dad, look at my eldest sister, her thinking is too old-fashioned. Even though the family has so much money, she still thinks about living frugally all day long.

If you ask me, if you have money, you should spend it and live a good life!
Otherwise, if you have so much money in your hand but refuse to spend it, what's the difference between that and not having the money at all?
Besides, I didn’t spend money. I just bought a washing machine. I also bought it to free my hands so that I can have more time and energy to support national construction.”

"You are just being unreasonable. Is there anyone in our family who is more wasteful than you? We should have married you to a family with a wicked mother-in-law. With a strong mother-in-law taking care of you, you wouldn't be so extravagant in your life." The eldest sister Yue Hongyan said with some regret.

Yue Wenxuan quickly reached out to stop them, "Alright, alright, you two sisters are already so old, and you're still arguing. Aren't you afraid that the children will laugh at you?"

The two daughters have different experiences, so naturally they have formed different concepts. Yue Wenxuan thinks both are good, and he will not judge between them on this matter.

He stood up and said, "Wait a minute, I have the money ready and will bring it to you right away."

Yue Wenxuan went to his bedroom and quickly brought back several large red envelopes, giving one to each of his children. He also gave one to his youngest daughter Yue Hongxiu, who was given directly to her mother for safekeeping.

In addition to the children, the third generation Shao Ruikang, Shao Ruijian, Shao Ruiyun and Yue Chengdong were also present. A red envelope was given to the children, and the three of them were not left out, and each of them received one.

Yue Chengdong happily took the red envelope in his hand, weighed it and asked, "Grandpa, how much money is in the red envelopes for the three of us? It can't be five thousand dollars too, right?"

"Among the third generation, only the four of you are married. Since you have already started your own families and careers, you will also receive a share of the red envelope, which is also $5,000."

Yue Wenxuan has so many grandchildren, but he only gave them four red envelopes. Of course there must be a reason.

They already have their own small families and are burdened with heavy responsibilities. Even if they have money, they will not spend it recklessly but will definitely use it on practical things.

But those who are not married yet cannot be spoiled in the same way. They are still single, and if they have so much money, Yue Wenxuan is worried that they will develop bad habits, so he naturally cannot give it to them.

Shao Ruijian and the other three were just watching happily and hadn't thought about getting their own share. Now they all got a red envelope, and the red envelope also contained 5,000 US dollars. This was an unexpected surprise, and they were very happy.

After distributing the red envelopes, Yue Wenxuan continued, "This five thousand dollars is just this year's pocket money. You can spend it as you see fit. You don't have to save it. There will be more next year, and it may be even more than this amount."

"Dad, this is really generous! Even I, who have always been a bit thick-skinned, find it a little unbelievable." Yue Hongying had a question in his mind and asked directly, "How much money does our family have? Can you tell us the bottom line so that we can have an idea."

The others also looked at Yue Wenxuan eagerly, and obviously they all had the same idea.

Yue Wenxuan shook his head firmly.

He can give his children more pocket money and make their lives better and better, but he must never reveal the bottom line to them too early.

Now we have just entered a new era and everyone’s concepts have not changed yet, so now is not the time to be thorough.

The main reason is that he has too much money. If he really told his children the truth, they might just be frightened and might not be surprised.

The social atmosphere today has only just begun to change. Many of the former capitalists are still working on farms, and everyone's concepts are still basically stuck in the past. If we want to completely change this, it will take a longer time to adapt.

Yue Wenxuan's children are all already quite old, and their jobs are stable. Their situations will not undergo drastic changes just because their father suddenly becomes rich.

At this stage, there is actually not much Yue Wenxuan can do, that is, like now, to give them more pocket money and change their living conditions.

The children all have their own stable lives, so at this stage, Yue Wenxuan doesn't need to change anything too much. On the contrary, the third generation who have just entered college are in a period of great change, and Yue Wenxuan's help to them will definitely become greater and more important in the future.

The shock Yue Wenxuan brought to everyone did not end there. After everyone's mood gradually calmed down, Yue Wenxuan continued:
"I gave you deposit certificates and gold bars last time, and this time is no exception. But I won't give you gold bars this time, so that you won't have them as treasures. I've prepared a pair of gold bracelets for each of you.

I specially asked someone to bring this from Hong Kong Island. Each gold bracelet weighs 50 grams, and a pair weighs exactly 100 grams.

The social atmosphere is becoming more and more open now. I have seen many people start to wear gold jewelry. The atmosphere in our Quancheng may lag behind. You can decide when to show it off. I will not make a decision for you. "

After saying this, Yue Wenxuan made another special explanation: "The relevant departments should have done a simple understanding of my opening an investment company in Hong Kong Island, and they know that my family has a little money. Even if your daily consumption is a little high, don't worry, it's understandable."

The eldest brother Yue Hongguo, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "Dad, if you have anything else to say or want to give us, just say it all at once. As long as it's not too scary, I think we can bear it."

"It seems that you think I gave you too little and that I'm stingy, right?" Yue Wenxuan saw that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit too solemn, so he deliberately made a little joke.

The eldest brother quickly said, "Dad, don't scare me. You know I'm not very courageous."

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I was only going to give you this much, but since the boss has asked for it, I have to give you this face."

At this point, Yue Wenxuan paused for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "You are coming to Kyoto for a reunion this time, and in order to give you a more comfortable place to live, I bought three houses.

These houses will be distributed to you sooner or later, so why not come up with a charter today?

How about this, each of you seven siblings will have a house in Kyoto. Even if you don’t need it now, you can move in when you retire.”
