Hangzhou, China.

A Chinese-style house shaded by trees on the west bank of the West Lake can be described as a place that has been closely watched by the entire top of the city's pyramid in recent days.

Because of the sudden arrival of a super tycoon.

Then news came out that Simon Westeros came to China this time for personal affairs, specifically to establish a relationship with a girl surnamed Lin, and there were even rumors that the girl was pregnant. The status of those who can inquire about these news will not be low, and their reaction to this matter will not be as red-eyed as some ordinary people who are habitually hating the rich, but most of them are envious.

That's Simon Westeros!

According to the constant news from abroad, as the US technology stocks continue to soar, Simon Westeros personal net worth has reached 2 trillion US dollars.

Gee.

Two trillion US dollars is completely unimaginable. After all, the domestic gdp in the past year was only 860 billion US dollars.

Not to mention, the other party has just landed in the country, and the orders directly from the capital are layered layer by layer, requiring all departments to do a good job of reception work, and no mistakes are allowed. Then, in addition to the leisure of a certain tycoon, a large number of people have their annual leave cancelled.

Simon and Lin Su set off on the morning of February 3 and arrived in China on the afternoon of February 4, Beijing time, which is the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

Directly to the door.

After communicating frankly with Lin's parents and Lin's mother, the Lin family, who had expected it for a long time, also recognized it.

Simon also prepared a generous betrothal gift in accordance with Chinese traditions. Naturally, Lin Su had a lot of rings. After a lively family dinner that night, the relationship between the two was completely settled.

After all, given the social level of the Lin family, certain things are not uncommon at all. Her own daughter became Simon Westeros's woman, even if she wasn't a real wife, she was not subservient in any way. Lin's father and Lin's mother once thought that their daughter would remain unknown by each other's side. Now, when the other party comes to the door in person and shows all courtesy, and then learns about the other party's arrangements for the child in his daughter's womb, it is impossible to ask for too much.

This matter was done in a hurry, and the next day was the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

There is no twelfth lunar month this year, which is New Year's Eve. In the evening, the Lin family, still surrounded by a festive atmosphere, is busy preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Because this compound, which covers an area of ​​more than six acres, is spacious enough, and Father Lin's unavoidable show off, in addition to Lin Su's grandparents, Father Lin also invited four of his brothers and sisters to come with him today. During the Chinese New Year here, there are more than 30 Lin family members in the compound at this time.

In the spacious kitchen on the side of the compound? Except for the two chefs who invited to cook, the rest of the female family members of the Lin family were busy.

Lin Lan was next to her sister who insisted on helping out like a fart? Picking a basket of beans indiscriminately? Gossip in her tone: "Sister? He really promised to call the child little Simon Lin Westeros in the future?"

Lin Su guessed that the father, who was chatting with relatives in the main house, deliberately missed the point. He was heard by the younger sister. Seeing her asking? Just nodded slightly.

"Although? I also know that Westerners like to name their children after their elders, but I still find it weird." Seeing her sister nod, Lin Lan expressed her opinion? Then she lowered her voice again: "But? Little Simon? He? That? Well, is the principal okay with that?"

Before Lin Su could react, Lin Lan's head was slapped by a hand. She turned her head subconsciously and saw her mother who looked bad? Lin Lan hurriedly tried to change the subject: "Mom? Your hands are wet? My hair..."

Mother Lin didn't give her second daughter a chance to change the subject? She glared at her and said, "If you can't speak, keep your mouth shut."

"Why can't I speak anymore? I only spoke in front of my sister," Lin Lan muttered? She couldn't help herself: "Mom, tell me, what if it's a girl?"

This sentence obviously made Mother Lin even more angry, and she slapped her again. Although she slapped Lin Lan on the back this time, she didn't keep her hand at all. Lin Lan's scream of pain caused all the other female relatives in the kitchen to look at her. Mother Lin smiled at everyone, and then grabbed the second daughter's ear and pulled it towards the door: "Go, go, don't make trouble here, you'll be annoying when you see you, New Year's Eve, talk nonsense."

Although Mother Lin always advertised that she did not prioritize sons over daughters, how could her daughter have a boy!

After driving the second daughter away, Mother Lin said to the eldest daughter in a soothing manner: "Don't listen to your sister's nonsense, she has been rude since she was a child, it's not that you don't know."

"It's nothing," Lin Su just smiled, compared to the low days in North America in the past few days, because of a certain man doing these things, her whole person's temperament has become clear again, and she spoke in a low voice He continued: "Actually, he likes children very much. It doesn't matter if it's a girl this time. I... um, I can have another one. Anyway, there is no family planning in the United States."

Mother Lin nodded slightly, and then sighed softly: "Xiao Su, if he can achieve this level, we can all feel that he is sincere to you. However, even if you don't say it, I can guess that he is definitely around him. There are many women, in short, you can't expect too much in the future, take good care of yourself, and have children, in short, let yourself live a little better, don't be too obsessed with names and the like."

Lin Su nodded: "Mom, I know."

Having said that, Lin Su couldn't help but think of someone's arrangement for the women around him, they were all in pairs, even in Du Meijia Manor, there were two Jennys. Obviously, he probably also thought about some issues.

What an asshole.

Seeing that the eldest daughter suddenly remembered something, Mother Lin didn't bother. She picked up a basket of beans quickly, handed it to a female family member next to her, and continued picking another basket of green vegetables, and then continued: "That's right, Xiaosu. , One more thing, tonight, you know, on New Year's Eve, it stands to reason that your dad and I should give him a red envelope, do you think we should give this?"

Lin Su blinked, and then the corners of his mouth curled up: "Of course I have to give it, why not?"

"Then, how much is appropriate?"

"You can give Qin Yusong as much as you want. You are all sons-in-law. You can't favor one over the other, right?"

Mother Lin smiled more when her daughter said these words, and couldn't help but patted her on the back of her hand: "I know how to joke, and I want to see your mother's joke."

"No," Lin Su calmed down a little and said, "He is very much like the locals, and this red envelope should be regarded as a lipstick change."

Mother Lin was stunned when she heard the words.

I fantasized a little bit about a certain Simon Westeros calling them instead... It feels a little unbearable to think about it.

After a while, Mother Lin said again: "Then, let your father give it."

Lin Su smiled more: "Don't be hard on my dad, he will be frightened."

Mother Lin thought about her husband's appearance in front of her eldest daughter's man who wanted to stand up for her father-in-law and obviously lost her bones, and felt inappropriate, but then glared at her daughter again: "How can you say that to your father? ?"

Lin Su looked innocent: "I didn't say anything."

Mother Lin hesitated for a moment, and then said again: "Otherwise, you can talk to him and explain about the red envelopes. Well, just change your mind."

Lin Su shook his head directly: "I'm his woman now, and I'm pregnant with his child, so he should change his mind."

"It's different, don't think I don't understand anything. I heard that foreigners also call their father-in-law and mother-in-law by their names. They don't have the habit of calling their parents."

Lin Sun sighed, then concentrated on picking vegetables.

Seeing her daughter like this, Mother Lin thought about it, and then carefully said: "Or, it's okay to be formal, just call your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Seeing her mother's tangled appearance, Lin Su thought about the man's side. In fact, she hadn't communicated with him about this in private. In case... this is actually not bad: "Then I'll tell him later, However, Qin Yusong called your parents, and he called his father-in-law and mother-in-law, right?"

"Then let Xiao Qin shout like this, it's not wrong."

Lin Su shrugged slightly.

"What's wrong with this?" Mother Lin raised her hand and slapped her eldest daughter on the shoulder, and then thought of one more thing: "Hey, also, the children of your uncles and aunts outside will also be given red envelopes after the New Year's Eve dinner, you Are you ready?"

Lin Su nodded: "I'm ready."

Mother Lin lowered her voice subconsciously and asked, "How much?"

Lin Su said: "666."

Mother Lin was startled: "So many?"

"He decided, he thinks this number is auspicious." Lin Su said, seeing his mother's distressed look, and explained, "It's nothing, you know, money is not money at all with him."

"That can't be so much," Mother Lin instinctively raised her voice, then lowered it quickly: "That, is it RMB?"

"He's American, of course in dollars."

When Mother Lin heard the words, she made a subconscious conversion in her mind. She shook her hand, and a handful of vegetables fell into the frame. She took her daughter out of the kitchen, walked to the storage room next door, and said in a low voice, "No, I can't give so much."

More than 600 US dollars, converted into RMB, more than 5,000.

Of course, Mother Lin knew that her daughter and man had too much money to spend, but the New Year's money given at one time was equivalent to one year's salary for most people, which was a bit too messy.

Lin Su was dragged over and said helplessly: "Mom, we have already wrapped the red envelopes."

"Then repack, Xiaosu, listen to the mother, this is not a one-year thing, this year gave so much, what will you do next year, you can't give so much every year, right?"

"There will still be so much in the future," Lin Su held her mother's hand and persuaded: "Mom, this is really nothing, and, think about it, everyone knows that he has more money and less money, and he has no face. , I don't want him to be gossiped in private."

"That's also..." Mother Lin was about to continue when she suddenly reacted: "He said it was decided by him, but it was clearly decided by you, so I said, how could he, an American, understand six hundred and sixty-six, you Ah, I can't give you that much if you want to save face. In my opinion, sixty-six is ​​good, sixty-six is ​​good."

Lin Su also found that he was leaking, but he didn't mean to quibble: "Okay, Mom, this is our business. Besides, Xiaoguang and the others are not outsiders, so it's my aunt who gave them their tuition fees in the future."

Mother Lin felt her daughter's stubborn tone, sighed, and then reacted: "Even if Xiaoguang and the others are not outsiders, in the past few days, other relatives and friends will definitely bring their children to celebrate the New Year, so you can't do it like this anymore."

"I know, I've thought about it." Lin Su said, pushing her mother out: "Let's go help, hiding here is like discussing bad things."

"Don't fool me, think about how much?"

"100," Lin Su said, "in the future, too."

"Or dollars?"

"Um."

"You're a loser, you..."

"Mom, why don't you go and tell him to pay less for the New Year's money?"

The two turned to the door of the kitchen, and Mother Lin listened to her daughter fighting her like this, and gently pushed her to prevent her from entering the door: "Go go go, you

Don't make this mess anymore, it's annoying to see you too. "

Knowing that her mother was tired because she was afraid of pregnancy, Lin Su did not refuse, and turned around and walked towards the main house.

After greeting several men from the grandfather and father's generation in the main room who were chatting, Lin Su followed the voice to the next door.

Chess is being played here.

The two sides of the game were Simon and Lin Lan's husband Qin Yusong, surrounded by a group of young people including Lin Su's two younger brothers.

When everyone saw Lin Su coming, they all gave way.

Seeing Lin Lan lying on her husband's back, pointing at the chessboard on the table, Lin Su also naturally stood behind the man, not as close as the younger sister and her husband, but just put one hand on the man shoulder.

Look at the chessboard.

The game has begun to wrap up.

Lin Su could see at a glance that her brother-in-law and younger sister seemed to work together to win over Simon, but in fact they were putting water together.

Both are human.

Of course, he wouldn't expose it, and it was estimated that his man understood in his heart, so he also started to advise him, and was accused of breaking the rules by Lin Lan, so the atmosphere in the room became more lively and warm.

And so on until it got dark.

When the New Year's Eve dinner was ready, a large group of people made several tables and filled the hall. On the TV was the pre-heating of the upcoming Spring Festival Gala. This long-lost feeling of familiarity and strangeness mixed together, which brought tears to Simon's eyes. A little regret, is the lack of firecrackers.

Unexpectedly, firecrackers were banned in Hangzhou in the 1990s.

However, when Simon pretended to be curious about why he couldn't hear the firecrackers that Chinese New Year should have, it soon followed.

So complete.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the whole family began to greet each other, but it was mainly Lin Su and Simon, first to Lin Su's grandparents, then to Lin's father and mother, and then to four uncles and aunts, who were reminded by Lin Su privately. , After Simon received the red envelope, he resolutely changed his words. The others were still a little reserved. When he was called father-in-law, Father Lin, who drank too much wine again, almost laughed.

Finally, the juniors came forward to pay New Year's greetings.

Lin Su sent out thick red envelopes one by one, causing Lin Lan to be jealous, and finally called out to her sister and her husband to grab one too. Probably had quietly checked the red envelopes, and then Shou Sui, the atmosphere seemed more lively and harmonious.

Um.

Still a little bit of a jarring interlude.

The problem is spring evening.

When Uncle Benshan's "Red Sorghum Model Team" debuted, Mr. Fan used to say "just like the world famous model Cindy Crawford", but in recent months, Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei are well known throughout the country. name, and, the two women also appeared in the VIP seats off the stage and got a close-up.

Of course, the Lin family couldn't know what happened to Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei, and of course Lin Su couldn't not know, so Simon, who was snuggling up to his side like a cat, was very resentful. .
