Chapter 695: 696: The Confrontation between Husband and Wife, the Touching Feelings in Their Hearts
Although everything in Kyoto was fascinating, Yue Hongguo and his companions only had a few days of vacation. When the time was up, they had to board the train back to Quancheng before they had stayed in Kyoto enough.

The train from Kyoto to Quancheng arrives at 6pm. After getting off the train, everyone goes home.

Yue Hongmin walked into the family compound and kept saying hello to his neighbors and colleagues. Everyone was very curious about his experience in the capital and couldn't help asking more questions. Although Yue Hongmin was not a person who liked to show off, he was happy to chat with everyone during such a glorious time.

Yue Hongmin was talking to someone outside. His wife Hu Xiaofei had heard the noise a long time ago. After quickly preparing the meal, she went to her window and looked out three times in a row.

After waiting for a long time, Hu Xiaofei still didn't see her husband come in, so she said to her ten-year-old son Yue Chengfei:
"Fei Fei, your father is back. Go outside to greet him and call him back. We will be having dinner soon."

"That's great. Dad is finally back. I'll go pick him up right away." Yue Chengfei put down the pen in his hand, threw his homework book aside, and ran out at a trot.

After Hu Xiaofei gave birth to her eldest son Liangliang, her health was not good until she gave birth to her youngest son Yue Chengfei in 1968.

The couple had another child when they were in their thirties, and they inevitably spoiled this youngest son a little.

Feifei took Yue Hongmin home for dinner, and Yue Hongmin did not waste any more time and went home happily.

It took him half an hour to walk from the gate of the staff quarters to the fourth floor of his house, a distance of only a hundred meters.

Since Hu Xiaofei married Yue Hongmin, the couple has rarely been apart. Although they were only separated for a few days this time, she missed him very much. She was of course very happy to finally see her husband come home, but she still complained:

"I thought you weren't going home for dinner. It was only a few steps away, and I went to the window to look at you three times, but I didn't see you move.

If you don't go home soon, the food will get cold."

Yue Hongmin, who was still in an excited state, completely ignored his wife's nagging, sat down in front of her, put his big head in front of Hu Xiaofei and said:

"Xiao Fei, this trip to Kyoto City was really worthwhile. There were many happy things happening one after another. You should have listened to me and asked for a few days off to go with me."

"Kyoto is the capital, who wouldn't want to go there? Of course I want to go there too! But can I make it?

Feifei hasn't had his summer vacation yet. Even if we are generous and stop picking him up from school from now on and let him go home by himself, someone has to cook for him when he gets home, right?

Besides, our company has been very busy recently, and the leader has said in advance that no one is allowed to take leave during this period. The leader has always been very considerate of me, so I don’t have the nerve to break this exception just because I want to go to the capital for a trip. Wouldn’t this make it difficult for the leader? "

Yue Hongmin quickly interrupted his wife and said, "Stop, stop. I'm not blaming you for not going to the capital with me. I just think that you might regret it if I tell you about my experiences during this period."

"It's a pity that I couldn't go to the capital with you despite such a good opportunity. I feel really bad about it too.

But I don't regret it, right? I'm still young, only in my forties this year, and I'll definitely have more opportunities to visit Kyoto in the future. After all, my son Liangliang is studying in the capital, and my father has settled in the capital. As long as I can spare the time, I can go anytime. What's there to regret?"

Hu Xiaofei was a little disapproving.

If she had time to visit Kyoto, it would be a very happy thing, but it was not something she would take as a top priority. She was not an ignorant bumpkin. Before she got married, she had already had three opportunities to go to the capital with her parents.

She was really excited the first time she went, but the more she went, the more she felt it was boring. If her eldest son was not studying in the capital, she would not be willing to go there to meet him.

Seeing his wife's indifferent look, Yue Hongmin directly took out a thick stack of US dollars from his bag, put it in front of his wife, and said with some pride: "Look at what this is, do you know how much it is?"

"Where did so many dollars come from?" Although Hu Xiaofei was shocked, she quickly realized, "It must have been given by my father. You are really my father's biological son. My father is so good to you! I am jealous when I see you!"

"You're smart. It was indeed given by our father. Do you know what kind of money our father gave you?"

At this time, Hu Xiaofei only had eyes for the pile of US dollars on the table, and she ignored her husband's smug look.

"You are really greedy for money!" Yue Hongmin continued to show off, "I knew you couldn't guess it, so I'll just tell you directly. This is the pocket money my dad gave me, a full five thousand dollars, and it's only this year's pocket money, and I'll give you more next year."

"You are such a fool with good fortune. Our father dotes on you too much. Even the stupid son of a landlord doesn't get such good treatment."

Hu Xiaofei started counting the money while talking. After she finished counting, she glared at the third brother, then continued counting. The result was the same as last time.

She temporarily put the money in her hand on the table and asked, "Yue Hongmin, didn't you say that the total amount of pocket money was 5,000 US dollars? How come 75 US dollars is missing?"

"Of course I spent it on buying things. This is the first time I have so much money, so I must buy some gifts for you and the children?" Yue Hongmin said as a matter of course.

"So what did you buy for us? Why didn't you bring it out?"

Yue Hongmin opened his pocket and took out a box of snacks. He then asked his son to hold it and said, "Take it and eat it. This is the best snack in Beijing. You will definitely like it. Remember to eat less and don't eat it all at once."

"I knew that my dad is the best." Yue Chengfei quickly opened the snack box. His eyes were like a little squirrel seeing a bunch of pine nuts. He was so happy.

Yue Chengfei took out a neatly folded piece of clothing from his pocket and put it directly into his wife's hand. "This is a dress I bought for you at the Friendship Store. It is said to be a new style popular in Hong Kong Island. Do you like it?"

Hu Xiaofei happily opened the clothes, tried them on herself, and liked them more and more the more she looked at them.

After gesturing for a long time, she reluctantly folded the clothes and put them aside, and continued, "A box of snacks is definitely not worth much. Don't tell me that such a thin skirt cost seventy dollars."

Seeing his wife's distressed look, Yue Hongmin quickly explained: "How is it possible? The dresses in the Friendship Store are indeed very expensive, some are over a hundred dollars. But I'm not a spendthrift, how can I spend so much money on a dress.

Although your skirt is a little expensive, costing twenty dollars, it is really beautiful and the fabric is good, so I think it is worth it."

When she heard that it was only twenty dollars, although it was still a bit expensive, it was still within Hu Xiaofei's acceptable range, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that the third brother was a careless person and didn't know how to control his spending. If she wasn't in charge, she was really worried that the third brother would spend all the five thousand dollars as pocket money.

Knowing that the third brother didn't spend money recklessly, Hu Xiaofei's tone improved a lot. "Where did you spend the rest of the money? Did you spend it recklessly?"

The third brother didn't want to answer this question, so he tried to change the subject. He took out a jewelry box, put it in front of his wife and said:
"Open it and take a look. Be mentally prepared and don't be scared."

"It's better to have something practical. If you spend fifty dollars on something you don't want to make, don't blame me for being mad at you."

Hu Xiaofei thought that the box contained a gift bought for her by the third brother. After opening it, she was surprised to find that it contained a pair of large golden bracelets.

"This pair of bracelets should be made of pure gold, right? They look very similar in color."

"Of course it is pure gold. If you don't believe me, take out the two gold bars hidden at home and compare them. They are absolutely identical." The third brother said in an affirmative tone.

"This pair of gold bracelets looks quite heavy. Fifty dollars certainly can't buy such a pair of gold bracelets. Could this be another gift from our father?" Hu Xiaofei asked uncertainly.

"My dear wife, you are so smart. You guessed it right the first time."

"My dad just gave me two gold bars, and now he gave me a pair of big gold bracelets. How can my dad be so nice! When I see my dad later, I must say a few nice words to make him happy." Hu Xiaofei played with the pair of big gold bracelets, feeling very happy.

She put the pair of large gold bracelets on her wrists, admired them for a long time, and finally took them off and put them back in the box.

"If you like it, wear it. This is not stolen or robbed. This is something given to you by your father. You can wear it openly without worrying about others gossiping about it."

"Forget it. You've been on a good upward trend in the past few years, and your boss values ​​you very much. You may even be promoted in the future. I can't help you much, but I can't hold you back either."

Hu Xiaofei has always been very supportive of Lao San's work, especially after Lao San was transferred to the public security system, she had higher expectations for Lao San. With expectations, she also set higher and higher standards for herself, and she would never allow herself to cause trouble for Lao San.

After living with the third brother for so many years, Hu Xiaofei has long since transformed from a proud girl who never touched housework to a qualified housewife. Especially for the whereabouts of large sums of money, she must be aware of it.

Whether for the third brother or Hu Xiaofei, fifty dollars is definitely a huge sum of money.

When it comes to the whereabouts of fifty dollars, the third brother actually tried to get away with it, which is simply impossible.

Hu Xiaofei carefully locked the jewelry box containing the gold bracelet into the cabinet and asked again: "What did you buy with the fifty dollars? Foreign exchange is so hard to come by now, we must spend it wisely. Don't waste this little foreign exchange on unnecessary things." "Old women are always short-sighted and only care about this little money. Can you please listen to me?"

"Anything else? Go ahead, I'm listening."

"My father also promised to buy us a house in Beijing. I plan to buy a courtyard house with three entrances. My father gave me a budget of up to 20,000 US dollars, which is more than enough to buy a very good house."

This news was a bit too shocking. Hu Xiaofei widened her eyes, looking extremely shocked, and asked anxiously, "Really? Can our family really buy a courtyard house worth 20,000 US dollars in Beijing? You are not kidding me, right? Why do I feel like I am dreaming, it's not real at all."

No matter which era, housing is always the top priority for ordinary people, and no one can resist the magic of a Beijing courtyard house.

"Of course it's true, how could it be false? When our family goes to Beijing in a few days, I will take some time to look around and choose a house with the best location and the highest cost-effectiveness.

In the future, after we buy a house and renovate it, we will be able to live in a spacious big house and no longer have to squeeze in this small house of more than 20 square meters.

I've had enough of living in a tube-shaped building like this without a separate kitchen and bathroom."

When it comes to the issue of housing, the third brother is also very interested.

"I think you are just too proud! The tube-shaped building we live in now is already a cadre building with very good conditions. Ordinary people can't even live there.

If it weren't for my father's ability and his attitude towards you, I don't think you would have the qualifications to say such big words. "

Hu Xiaofei was afraid that the third brother would become crazy after he had money, so she would scold him from time to time.

"There's nothing I can do about it. My dad is so capable. I can't refuse something he gave me, right? I'd be a fool if I didn't."

When the third brother was young, he did like to say some wild words in front of his friends. He has changed a lot over the years, but there is no need to change his nature in front of his wife. Naturally, he says whatever he wants.

As the third brother interrupted, Hu Xiaofei almost forgot the point she had just grasped. "You just said that our family would go to Beijing together in a few days. What's going on?"

"My wife is really smart. I thought you didn't notice."

"Stop keeping us in suspense. What's going on? Did our dad use his connections to transfer you to the capital?"

Over the years, Yue Wenxuan has become more and more prestigious in the eyes of his children, and Hu Xiaofei subconsciously thinks that this must be the work of her father-in-law.

"You guessed wrong this time. Although my father has the intention, he may not be able to do it. Besides, I have two older brothers. Even if it takes turns, it won't be my turn for the time being."

"Who arranged this for you? Apart from our father, I haven't heard that you have any particularly strong connections in Kyoto." Hu Xiaofei couldn't find a more suitable candidate for the time being.

"Why are you suddenly confused? Two years ago, Ai Liqun and his wife were transferred back to Beijing. You must not have forgotten it, right?" The third brother reminded.

"Could it be that Brother Ai is going to transfer you to Beijing? It's not even two years since he resumed his work, how come he has such great ability?" Hu Xiaofei was surprised.

Hu Xiaofei knew that Ai Liqun and his wife were from Kyoto, and that they had resumed work, but she never expected that in just two short years, Ai Liqun had acquired such great power.

The main reason was that the gap between the before and after was too big, and Hu Xiaofei was a little slow to react.

Two years ago, when Ai Liqun and his wife left, they still looked very poor. If it weren't for the financial support from the third brother, it would have been difficult for them to buy train tickets back to Beijing.

In the years before that, Ai Liqun had been working as a cleaner, a tough job that could not even provide for his family. If it were not for the financial support from his third brother, they might not have survived the most difficult period.

Many people want to transfer to Beijing to work, but getting even the most ordinary position is an extremely difficult thing. Without particularly strong connections, it is impossible to do so.

"What kind of job can you get after coming to Beijing? Can you enter the public security system?" Hu Xiaofei asked worriedly.

"Brother Liqun said that a new department has been established in the ministry and that they are going to recruit the best and brightest from across the country to join this new department.

After I went to Kyoto, I continued to work in my old job. And because my superiors attached great importance to this new department, my administrative salary could be increased after I was transferred there. ”

At this point, the third brother added, "I forgot to tell you that Brother Liqun has already established a firm foothold in the ministry. He happens to be in charge of the new department I am going to. With him taking care of me, I have nothing to worry about even if I go to Kyoto."

Hu Xiaofei never expected that in just two short years, Ai Liqun had changed so much. He had already become a leader of such a high level, and it was a little difficult for her to adapt for a while.

It is already an extremely happy thing that her husband can go to Beijing to develop, and he can also work in the system after he goes there. More importantly, he will definitely have better development prospects in the future, and he can also improve his administrative level. This is simply a pie in the sky.

Although Hu Xiaofei was a bit fussy about trivial matters in life, she was always clear-headed about major issues. She expressed her position very seriously:

"Hongmin, you can go to Beijing to develop without any worries. You don't have to worry about your family. I will definitely take good care of the children. You just need to do your job well. You don't need to worry about the family affairs. I will take care of everything. Don't worry."

Yue Hongmin was touched and held his wife's hand and said, "Brother Liqun is always very thoughtful. How could he let us live apart for a long time? He has already considered this problem in advance and has solved it."

"It's solved. How was it solved? It's impossible to transfer me to Beijing to work as well?" Although Hu Xiaofei thought of this possibility, she felt that it was too difficult and did not dare to think about it at all.

"Brother Liqun is so dedicated in his work. You guessed right, you will go to Beijing with me. Your job is arranged by Sister-in-law Xiyun, and you will temporarily work with her in the Women's Federation for a period of time." The third brother explained the situation concisely.

At this moment, Hu Xiaofei was really moved by Ai Liqun and his wife.

The two of them actually considered it so carefully that even she could be transferred to work in the Women's Federation. Just think about it and you will know how difficult it is.

Hu Xiaofei was silent for a moment, and then said emotionally: "I don't know what to say. Brother Ai has done such a big thing for our family. When I think about it, I feel ashamed.

During those years, you were too close to Brother Ai and helped him so much, and I blamed you a lot.

Although sister-in-law Xiyun and I get along well, that's only on the surface. I did this for your face, not out of my true heart.

Sister Xiyun is such a sensitive person, she must be able to sense it. Thinking about the next time we meet, I feel really ashamed. "

The third brother consoled her, "You are setting too high standards for yourself. You have performed very well. During those years, you were the only one who could talk to Sister Xiyun from the bottom of her heart.

At least I never remember you saying anything disparaging in front of the couple. Even if you didn't mean it, you were polite on the surface, which is good enough.

Besides, they are both very loyal people. When you get along with Sister Xiyun in the future, as long as you treat her sincerely, the relationship between our two families will only get better and better."

After explaining all the important things, the third brother took the initiative to explain: "Didn't you keep asking what the fifty dollars bought? I was afraid you might misunderstand, so I didn't tell you right away.

Brother Liqun and his wife went to visit our father and bought some very expensive high-end nutritional products and supplements. Naturally, when I went to their house, I couldn't be bad.

Fifty dollars seemed like a lot, but in fact you couldn't buy much at the Friendship Store. Later, my dad bought me a lot of other things, and only then did I get a decent gift."

"You did the right thing. This is what you should do." Hu Xiaofei agreed with the third brother's approach. "Don't think I'm nagging. I'm mainly worried that you suddenly have so much foreign exchange. If someone instigates you to spend it recklessly all day and if you get into some bad habits, a good thing might turn into a bad thing. Others won't care about this. I'm your wife and I have to be on guard at all times."

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not the kind of person you say I am, and I still have my father to look after me.

Don't be fooled by our father's kind face. In fact, he is very strict with us. If we do something wrong, all he needs to do is look at us and we'll be scared from the bottom of our hearts.

If I really dare to do such a thing, even though I am already over 40 years old, I might be beaten by my father with a belt. "

In fact, Hu Xiaofei was just taking precautions, and she didn't really distrust the third brother. Seeing that the third brother spoke so seriously, she stopped mentioning the matter, so as not to hurt the relationship between the couple by always saying so.

The couple began preparing to go to Beijing from the next day, and the first thing they did was to pack their luggage carefully.

After receiving the official notice of job transfer, I had to say goodbye to my relatives on both sides one by one. It was quite tiring after all the busy work.

After everything was settled, in late July, the family of three finally boarded the train to Beijing.
