Wear the book and be reborn as a group favorite for 50 people

Lunch was arranged by Sister-in-law Gu and her daughter-in-law, and a large table full of dishes was prepared. Everyone divided it into two tables, and they ate happily.

Tang Xin and third cousin were today's protagonists, and they were naturally praised by everyone. Tang Xin took the opportunity to give the pen he chose to third cousin. Third cousin was very happy, but he didn't expect to give it to Tang Xin. Gift.

"Tangbao, I'm sorry, I didn't think of giving you a gift, but I'll definitely make up for it when my third brother waits." The third cousin took the pen from Tang Xin and said embarrassedly, how can any sister give a gift to her brother? But there was no expression.

"It's okay, third brother. I suddenly thought of this when I was buying it. You see, I didn't give it to my eldest brother when they were in school." Tang Xin waved his hand indifferently.

"Yeah, we sugar babies are a little biased." The elder brother was cheering from the side, and the second cousin also followed. The eldest cousin was okay. He was much older than them and was very calm.

"I was young at that time, so I never thought of it, but it's not impossible for you to ask for gifts. When you get married, I will definitely give you a big gift. How about it?" Tang Xincai didn't notice her brother's teasing.

"Ahem, cough, cough." The eldest cousin couldn't help but choked on the water in his mouth. He is 23 years old this year and has graduated almost two years ago. His family is also starting to make arrangements for his marriage, so when he hears this It's particularly sensitive.

Zhan Bo, his second cousin, and his third cousin no longer bothered to tease Tang Xin. They burst into laughter looking at his eldest cousin. The eldest cousin pointed at them and said, "Don't laugh at me yet. Sooner or later, you will all have this kind of situation. See How could I laugh at you?"

Several brothers looked at each other, but it was the second cousin who spoke first, "It's okay, we are still young, it will take several years."

Zhan Bo and his third cousin all agreed and continued joking with his eldest cousin.

There was a commotion here, and Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen at the table called Tang Xin over, "Tangbao, come over to grandma."

Tang Xin responded and walked over, "Grandma."

"Hey, sugar baby, come here. This is a gift from grandpa and grandma. Congratulations on your admission to college."

Grandma looked at Tang Xin with a smile, took out a box from behind and handed it to Tang Xin.

Then he didn't forget to say to the grandson and grandson next to him: "Don't be arrogant, there is only one girl in our family, Sugar Baby, so she deserves some special treatment. You are all men, so you can't compete with your sister."

Tang Xin took the box handed over by her grandmother and opened it. She saw that it was a watch or a foreign brand. She raised her head and looked at Mrs. Chen: "Grandma?"

"You will have to live on campus from now on. It is convenient to have a watch. Your uncle specially selected this for you at the Export Commodities Fair this year. My dear, feel free to accept it." Old Mrs. Chen took out the watch and put it on Tang Xin. Go up and see how beautiful it is.

Knowing that it was the kindness of her grandpa, grandma, uncle, and aunt, Tang Xin did not refuse and accepted it generously, "Thank you, grandpa, grandma, uncle, and aunt. I will definitely cherish this watch." Domestic watches are very expensive now. , this imported one is more expensive, but what is precious is the care of my grandma and her family. My uncle can think of me when he is on a business trip.

"You're welcome, sugar baby, as long as you like it. When you have the opportunity in the future, let your uncle buy you other styles and you can wear them differently." My aunt said, this is because her family has a rich family, and she has the confidence to speak. Now People who have a watch are eager to show it off for a long time, and her aunt even said that she would buy a few more for her to wear.

Tang's mother nodded. Although everyone's living conditions are not very good now, Tang's mother grew up in a wealthy environment and her vision was there. She also quite agreed with her sister-in-law's words.

Besides, her mother has instilled in her the concept that her daughter should be wealthy.

The brothers didn't say anything this time. Although they were usually willing to joke, everyone also had a consensus. There was such a girl in the family, so of course she had to be pampered. They had no objection to giving the best to their sister.

After returning from her grandma's house, Tang Xin took the watch and looked at it curiously for a long time. This is a big international brand. Looking at the familiar LOGO, she felt like she had traveled back in time. However, the feel and quality really deserved to be a big brand.

"This is a foreign brand. Mom still has a few pieces. If you like it, mom can give it to you." Tang's mother said, looking at her daughter who couldn't put it down.

"Ah, mom, do you still have it?" Tang Xin was a little surprised, but thinking about it, Tang's mom used to be a eldest lady. It's not unusual to have a few brand-name watches, but she has never been seen wearing them.

"Yes, there are several more. Not only watches, but also necklaces, earrings, rings, etc. Come on, I'll take you to see them." After saying that, Tang's mother brought Tang Xin to her room. She should also give these things to her. My daughter took a look. In the past, when my daughter was young, she never had the chance to wear it, so she forgot about it. Now that she has brought it up, she might as well let her take a look.

Tang's mother took out her jewelry box. It was so big. Then she took out many large and small boxes from the box. At first glance, they were all kinds of jewelry. Sure enough, when Tang's mother opened them one by one, Tang Xin's eyes lit up. She is worthy of being the eldest lady of one of the four major families in Shanghai. Every piece of these jewelry is extraordinary.

Tang Ma picked them up one by one and introduced them to Tang Xin. When she talked about the origin of these jewelry, she seemed to think of the flamboyant years of her youth. "Everyone has been having a hard time these years, and they are not interested in these things. What are these jewelry for me?" I have never worn it again, it has been kept at the bottom of the box, and I will give it to you when you can wear it in the future."

Tang Xin looked at them one by one, thinking to herself, wasn't she so prosperous? She didn't need to save anything anymore. She could be stable for the rest of her life just by relying on these jewelry.

No, no, wake up and don't let things corrupt you. Tang Xin shook his head. If you want to live a better life, you have to rely on your own efforts to create it. You can't chew on old age.

"Mom, put it away quickly. When the country's policy environment improves in a few years, you can wear it again. Don't keep it for me." Tang Xin reluctantly closed the lid of the jewelry box.

"We have to wait a few years. I will be old in a few years. These jewelry are all suitable for young people. Even if they can be worn, I can't wear them anymore." Tang Ma looked at these jewelry and said with regret.

Tang Xin thought about it, it was only 1964, at least there would be more than ten years before and after the reform and opening up, and the Cultural Revolution had to be experienced in the middle, so these treasures could only be put in boxes to gather dust.

Thinking of those ten years of turmoil, Tang Xin couldn't help but sigh. During those long and difficult ten years, so many people were persecuted and so many cultures were destroyed, but there was nothing she could do.

Tang Xin returned to the room angrily, unable to sleep for a while, so she picked up her pen and wrote a reply to Jiang Wenbai. He told Jiang Wenbo in detail what happened after he came back, told him that he had been admitted to university and would soon be a college student, and told him about his yearning for university life and his vision for the future.

After finishing writing, I feel much better. Although the road is tortuous, the future is bright and a good life is ahead.
