Chapter 1168 50 Euros

Just as Susan finished speaking, a cough was heard beside her.

Qin Wenhai is Susan's father-in-law and Qin Yuwai's father.

He had a serious face and spoke in French with a Chinese accent.

"We have returned to China, so we should respect Chinese traditions. Don't call her by her English name here."

Susan still respected this father-in-law, so she said

"OK...Please continue to support my daughter, Qin Manyue~"

Susan's words caused a sensation in the live broadcast room.

"Mother-in-law, I am here to pay you a special visit."

"Don't worry, mother-in-law. Moom has me here to protect you. Please don't worry!"

"The one upstairs, what are you waiting for? Haven't you heard that Moom's Chinese name is needed? Mother-in-law, leave the full moon to me..."

......

Susan is an elderly person after all.

Looking at the netizens in his daughter's live broadcast room, all kinds of vicious words were spoken.

She didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Qin Manyue quickly moved the camera away to prevent her mother from seeing the comments.

Seeing his granddaughter live streaming, Qin Wenhai, as a grandfather, shook his head helplessly.

"I really don't understand the world of young people. What's so interesting about live chats? It's better to watch TV news."

Qin Yuwai pushed the wheelchair and said, "Dad, times have changed. You can't limit Man Yue with your thinking."

"Humph, what a difference between times. These are all tricks used by young people to deceive old people."

Qin Wenhai fiddled with the thermal blanket on his thighs and whispered to his son.

"Overseas, we came back to our country this time to bring business to your cousin. However, we can't show too much superiority and look down on others..."

As he spoke, Qin Wenhai turned his gaze to his daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

Qin Yuwai understood and said.

"Dad, I've told Susan and Man Yue not to be too ostentatious, so as not to make our relatives in China think we're showing off... and embarrass them."

Qin Wenhai nodded. "Well, there is a huge gap between China and France. Our living habits and living standards in France may be beyond the reach of even the richest man in Jiangning. Therefore, we must try our best to restrain some of our behaviors. For example, the chocolate, cereal and cheese that we are accustomed to may not be heard of in China."

"I understand, Dad. Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Qin Wenhai thought about it, but still felt uneasy, so he asked.

"This time it's your cousin who is hosting us. He should let us stay at his home..."

Qin Wenhai answered before his father finished speaking.

"Dad, I know what to do. When we see a suitable hotel on the road, I will tell them that we have already booked one and we don't have to go to my cousin's house. I don't know if there is a cleaner hotel in such a small place."

Qin Wenhai shook his head helplessly and said, "Well, if you weren't bringing your wife and daughter, they would need hot water every day. Otherwise, it would be fine to live at your cousin's house."

"Oh, Dad, it's not about the hot bath. You've been sleeping on a Simmons mattress for decades, and suddenly I'm asking you to sleep on a hard bed. I'm afraid it will cause problems for your old waist."

Qin Wenhai glanced at his son.

"Humph, your father even slept in the cowshed, so what's wrong with sleeping on a hard bed?"

"Dad, things are different now. You are already seventy years old."

When talking about his seventy years old, Qin Wenhai's eyes were filled with sighs.

When he was in his twenties, he left his hometown and traveled across the ocean to France to make a living.

This wait lasted for more than half a century.

In the late 1980s, I came back to attend a funeral.

But at that time, it took a whole day to get from the Shanghai Airport to Yongning Village, Haihong Town, Fuchang County, my hometown.

I have tried almost all means of transportation including shuttle buses, public buses, tricycles, and ox carts.

This made Qin Wenhai, who was used to living in France, very upset.

As for people, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Since both his parents were gone, he naturally had no reason to come back.

He doesn't have much affection for other relatives.

In addition to his cousin who gave him two big cakes that year, Qin Wenhai would write a letter to keep in touch every year.

When France was still using francs, Qin Wenhai would stuff 50 francs into letters every year.

You have to know that in the 40s, the average wage in China was only around yuan.

50 francs is equivalent to more than one month's salary for an ordinary person.

Later, France began to use the euro.

That's worth more than a franc.

But Qin Wenhai still sent 50 euros to his cousin to support him.

Qin Wenhai was thinking about it, and suddenly said

"Have you packed the red envelope for your cousin?"

Qin Yuwai took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to his father.

"Dad, don't worry, it's all wrapped up."

Qin Wenhai took the red envelope, opened it and took a look at it worriedly, his face suddenly darkened.

“Why is it 50 euros again?”

"Uh... Dad, our family gives 50 euros to my cousin's family every year..."

"We didn't go back to China before. This time, we came back. It must cost them money to entertain us. They may not earn as much as your monthly salary in a whole year. We came back to find a way to help our relatives, not to put pressure on them..."

Qin Yuwai blushed at what his father said.

Qin Wenhai continued in a low voice.

"Yuwai, you have become the purchasing manager of the company. There are some things you don't need me to teach you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuwai quickly pulled out another 50-euro bill from his pocket and stuffed it into the envelope.

"Dad, I didn't think it through."

I watched my son put another 50 euro note into the red envelope.

Qin Wenhai nodded with satisfaction and closed the red envelope.

He handed it back to his son and gave him a heartfelt education.

"We are overseas. We should not add to their living burden when we return home! 50 euros is just a week's worth of breakfast money for our family. But for your cousin's family, it may be a month's living expenses."

"Yes, yes... Dad, I get it."

Qin Yuwai collected the red envelope and continued pushing the wheelchair forward.

Looking at the spacious, bright, clean and tidy Jiangning International Airport.

Qin Wenhai couldn't help but sigh.

"This airport is really well built."

Qin Yuwai curled his lips and said.

"Dad, you don't understand. The French news said that this is all a face-saving project for China. The airport in Jiangning City is called an international airport. International airports are definitely for foreigners, so they can't be built too badly, otherwise it will be embarrassing."

"Then I have to go see what a non-international airport looks like."

"Dad, how many ordinary airports are there in China? With the low income level of Chinese people, it's hard to even afford food and clothing, so how can they afford to fly?"

Qin Wenhai heard this and nodded without comment...
