I'm back in 1990

Chapter 178: Let's add two more dowries in the future.

Uncle Zeng Jiahua came to Shanghai again to find Huang Xiaochuan for a new foreign trade contract.

Zeng Jiahua now exudes an air of importance. He wears a suit, his leather shoes are shiny, he has a Chinese pager on his waist, and a mobile phone in his hand. Although these two things are just decorations in Shanghai because the mobile phone and pager belong to Suzhou and cannot be used in Shanghai, who would know if he didn't say so!

The car has been changed to a brand new Audi 100, but the driver hasn't changed; it's still Ah Liang.

Perhaps the gatekeeper at the school gate saw that it was an Audi 100 and let the car into the school directly. Ah Liang arrived at Huang Xiaochuan's dormitory building with familiarity with the area.

Unfortunately, Zeng Jiahua didn't know that Huang Xiaochuan was at the old apartment, and he didn't tell Huang Xiaochuan in advance before coming.

When Huang Xiaochuan received the call from A Liang from a public phone booth, he was busy making dumplings in his old apartment.

Huang Xiaochuan kneaded the dough and prepared the filling, while Yu Xiang and Ji Mei were in charge of making dumplings.

After telling A Liang his home address, Huang Xiaochuan told Yu Xiang, "Sister Xiang, my uncle will be here soon. We can have him have lunch here."

"Uncle's here? Shall we treat him to dumplings? Or should I go buy some groceries?" Yu Xiang felt it was inappropriate to serve dumplings since it was her uncle's first visit, so she decided to go out and buy some groceries.

"That's fine too. Don't forget to bring back two bottles of good wine. See if you can buy Moutai. If not, Wuliangye will do." Because Huang Xiaochuan doesn't drink at home, he doesn't keep any wine at home.

"Okay, I understand!" Yu Xiang got up to grab her coat and prepare to go out.

Ji Mei also stood up and said, "Yu Xiang, I'll go with you."

Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "You guys go ahead, I can manage on my own. I'll wrap them up slowly by myself first, and you can help me wrap them up when you come back later."

When Zeng Jiahua arrived with A Liang, Huang Xiaochuan, worried that they wouldn't be able to find him, estimated the time and waited at the entrance of the alley.

Every time Zeng Jiahua comes, she always brings Huang Xiaochuan lots of things, mostly bought by his grandmother and aunt. This time was no exception. A Liang had to make two or three trips to carry everything upstairs. Luckily, there was an elevator so he didn't have to climb the stairs, otherwise he would have been exhausted.

As soon as Zeng Jiahua entered the house, he looked around and nodded repeatedly when he saw that the house was clean and tidy.

"Little monkey, you have good taste! This house is nice, and the money was well spent."

Huang Xiaochuan found a teacup and made tea for Zeng Jiahua and A Liang.

"Uncle, have lunch here. I'm making dumplings right now."

Zeng Jiahua didn't agree, but instead asked, "Where's my nephew's wife? She should be resting today, right?" Zeng Jiahua guessed it when he saw girls' clothes and slippers in the house.

"I told you you were here, and I asked you to stay for dinner. But I saw there was no food or wine at home, so I went out to buy some."

Zeng Jiahua sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and waved his hand, "Don't make things so complicated, I'll treat you to a restaurant."

Huang Xiaochuan pointed to the dumplings that were more than half-finished in the kitchen: "We've made so many, it would be a waste not to eat them."

At this moment, Ah Liang brought in all his things, and he handed a small black box to Zeng Jiahua: "Factory Manager, this is for you."

Zeng Jiahua casually took it and handed it to Huang Xiaochuan, saying to A Liang, "A Liang, you're all free now. Go out and buy your wife some clothes, and don't forget to get a receipt. Have lunch outside by yourself, and come pick me up after you've eaten."

Ah Liang smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go."

He said goodbye to Huang Xiaochuan again and then left.

After seeing A-Liang off, Huang Xiaochuan asked his uncle, "What's in here?"

Zeng Jiahua said casually, "Of course it's money!"

Huang Xiaochuan looked completely bewildered: "Why are you giving me money all of a sudden?"

"The new order is confirmed, three and a half million US dollars, awesome, right? Here's your commission!" Zeng Jiahua said smugly, crossing his legs and bobbing his feet.

"This order has nothing to do with me, take this money back." Feeling that he hadn't done anything to deserve the money, Huang Xiaochuan returned the small box to Zeng Jiahua.

"You idiot, I said the business is yours, so it's yours. It's all within the rules, so why not take it?"

"Then you can keep it for yourself. Your eldest and second eldest sisters might be getting married next year, wouldn't it be good to give them some as part of their dowry?"

Zeng Jiahua glared at him: "Just take it. I'm not asking you to take it for free. Why should I ask you to handle that contract?"

"The contract is fine, but I don't want the money," Huang Xiaochuan firmly declined.

Just as the uncle and nephew were arguing over the small box, Yu Xiang returned with wine and food.

Upon seeing Zeng Jiahua sitting on the sofa, he greeted him with a beaming smile, "Uncle's here!"

When Zeng Jiahua first saw Yu Xiang, his eyes were practically bulging with joy, and he hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes!"

When Huang Xiaochuan saw that Yu Xiang had returned alone, he asked her, "Where's Sister Mei?"

She said she had something to do and wouldn't be back at noon.

When Yu Xiang said this, Huang Xiaochuan understood that Ji Mei felt it was inconvenient to leave when relatives came to visit.

This was Zeng Jiahua's first time meeting Yu Xiang. He had only seen her in photos before, and she was even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. Just like when Zeng Jiahua first met his daughter-in-law, he was increasingly satisfied with her.

Zeng Jiahua had made preparations before coming. Knowing that Huang Xiaochuan had bought a house off-campus, he guessed that his girlfriend would definitely be there. He should give her a gift when they met for the first time, right?

Not knowing what to buy, Zeng Jiahua simply asked A Liang to go to the store and buy a piece of red paper, wrapped with 20,000 yuan, as a greeting gift.

Upon meeting Yu Xiang, Zeng Jiahua, extremely satisfied, took out the red envelope from his bag and handed it to Yu Xiang.

"Here, this is a small token of my appreciation for our first meeting."

Yu Xiang quickly waved her hand in refusal: "No, no, I can't accept this."

Huang Xiaochuan smiled and took the red envelope from Zeng Jiahua and placed it in Yu Xiang's hand: "You should keep the one your maternal uncle gave you. There's a saying in our hometown: 'No matter how big the sky or the earth, your maternal uncle is the most important.' When we get married and have our banquet, your maternal uncle will sit at the head table."

Zeng Jiahua grinned from ear to ear: "Hahaha! Xiao Chuan is right!"

Huang Xiaochuan's words gave Zeng Jiahua another opportunity. He stuffed the small box back into Huang Xiaochuan's hands: "Perfect, keep this money for yourselves to buy things later. Okay, stop arguing, I'll make the decision!"

After saying that, she glared at Huang Xiaochuan with dissatisfaction, and Huang Xiaochuan had no choice but to accept the small box.

After finishing their meal and seeing their uncle off, the two returned home, where the small box was still on the sofa.

Huang Xiaochuan picked it up and weighed it; it wasn't light. He sat down and pressed down hard on each of the two latches with his thumbs, and the box opened, revealing bundles of one hundred and one hundred yuan bills inside.

Yu Xiang saw this scene clearly, but fortunately, she was not frightened. She was just wondering why Zeng Jiahua gave Huang Xiaochuan so much money.

Huang Xiaochuan smiled, closed the box, and handed it to Yu Xiang.

"Keep it. It's money our uncle gave us to buy things for our future wedding."

"Isn't this too much?"

Huang Xiaochuan patted Yu Xiang's hand: "It's alright! My eldest and second eldest sisters are probably getting married next year, so let's prepare a dowry for each of them!"
