1990 was a year of rapid development after the reform and opening up.
On the road today, people wear jeans, glasses, long hair, and break dance. There is a thriving scene everywhere.
In Wei Jiajia's family, there is such a trend-setter--Qiao Youkang
As a representative of the new generation of the Qiao family, no, as a national idol of the new generation of China, Qiao Youkang's words, deeds, and clothing are the new trends in pop culture.
This is not only due to his identity as an actor, but also due to his face. The appearance of his face on the TV screen can make people scream because it is so beautiful, but his beauty only lies in his face. He has a free and uninhibited noble temperament, but people will not put his beauty together with women. People understand that he is unique and unique and cannot be blasphemed.
After the popular culture of Japanese handsome men poured into China, Qiao Haokang became the Chinese version of Lin Jiashu in people's minds. Even Chinese people believed that Japanese handsome men were incomparable in front of him, not only in terms of appearance, but in terms of temperament. With just a few blocks, they can be crushed to death.
The day after tomorrow is Wei Jiajia's birthday. Qiao Youkang, who is filming a movie in Shanghai, plans to take leave and return to Beijing to spend her birthday with his mother before returning.
"Youkang, your phone number." Qiao Youkang's assistant, Brother Wang, came over with something like a brick.
To say that Brother Wang is Qiao Youkang's assistant is not entirely true. It would be more accurate to say that he is a bodyguard.
Ever since You Kang embarked on the path of being an actor, his face has not only been a stepping stone for him to enter the acting profession, but has also become a weapon for others to attack him.
Although the entertainment industry is not that dark now, Wei Jiajia, who knows all the viciousness in the vanity fair of later generations, can't worry about her son.
She knew that her youngest son had been trained by his father in the past few years, and ordinary people could not get into his body. However, in this era of eradication of crime and rapid economic development, gangsters, gangsters, and all kinds of monsters and monsters have emerged, making it impossible to guard against him.
She was afraid that her youngest son would accidentally fall into someone else's trap, so she asked her husband to find two veterans who could protect him and serve as his assistants. Now there is another wave of layoffs, which can be regarded as solving their employment problem. And Brother Wang is one of the bodyguards.
Qiao Youkang took the brick-like big brother and said to the phone, "Hello?"
"Youkang? I'm aunt!" A warm voice came from the other side of the unclear phone.
"It's your mother's birthday, when are you going to go back?" She knew that Youkang was filming in Shanghai recently, so she asked.
"Tomorrow, where's my aunt? Do you want to come with me this time?" Every year on her mother's birthday, as long as her aunt has time, she will go. Youkang thought that since he was here, he could ask his aunt to go back with him.
"Tomorrow? I'm still here in Su City. I won't be able to finish my work until tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time." She thought for a while and said, "How about you go pick up your cousin at home and take him back with you, and wait for me When you're done, just take a plane from here to save yourself the trouble of going back and forth."
As for her husband, Nuan Nuan didn't even mention it. He worked for the government, and he happened to go to Shenzhen City for inspection two days ago and was not in Shanghai. He didn't have time to accompany her on her sister's birthday.
Youkang also knew the situation at his aunt's house. After saying yes with a smile, he said some other things before hanging up the phone.
Youkang handed the phone to Brother Wang who was standing aside, then stood up and went to film. He stayed busy until the afternoon, and his scene for the day ended.
He asked the director for three days' leave and took Brother Wang out.
"Brother Youkang, do you want to go back to the hotel? Can you give me a ride? I sprained my foot." The second female lead in the drama with him caught up and asked with a shy and expectant look on her face.
The director of their movie rented a hotel and asked the staff to live together. Although she hadn't seen him in the past two days, that was because their scenes were not together. Today was the first time for the two of them. After the rivalry scene ended early, she never went back, just for this moment of chatting up.
Qiao Youkang glanced at her, which made the woman blush even more. She tilted her head slightly, exposing her most beautiful angle in front of his eyes. She was convinced that as the most beautiful self among young actors, it was impossible for him not to notice her. , now that she asks him for help, he will definitely be reluctant to refuse.
As long as he picks her up today, she will have more opportunities in the future and finally turn him into her boyfriend. By then, for Qiao Youkang's sake, she will also become the leading female character in the movie, instead of working hard as a supporting role, as all women think with pride.
Although she didn't know what his family did, she knew it was certainly not simple. Just by looking at his dignified temperament and the two unsmiling bodyguards behind him, she knew that as long as she hooked up with him, she could rise to the top and no one would dare to look down upon him again.
Qiao Youkang looked at the eyes on her beautiful face. Even though the desire in them was concealed, he could still see it clearly. This was a woman who could sacrifice everything to achieve her goals.
But as long as she didn't get into his hands, it had nothing to do with him. He said coldly to the woman, "We are not on the same road, and I won't stay in the hotel." After saying that, he ignored the woman's surprise, opened the car door, got in, and gave the woman A relentless car tail.
The second female stood there, her face turning from red to white, then from white to blue, and her whole body looked bad. She didn't expect that she would be rejected mercilessly. Didn't they all say that he was a handsome young man with a graceful manner? So what happened to the man who rejected her coldly just now?
She has always known what her advantages are, and her face has always been invincible. This is the first time she has been rejected by a man. You can imagine how bad her mood is at the moment.
But she didn't know that Qiao Youkang grew up in a heap of beauties. If anyone from his family was taken out alone, wouldn't he be trying to beat her up? Her beauty was rare among men who had never seen many beautiful women. She admired her so much that she didn't know that there was someone else in the world, but she was simply not enough for him.
Qiao Youkang didn't care what the woman thought. After he got in the car, he asked Brother Wang to drive directly to his aunt's house, preparing to pick up his little cousin and fly back to Beijing overnight.
In fact, the reason why he rejected her is also true. He did not stay in the hotel and was not on the road. He has his own house in Shanghai, and he is not stupid when he comes here and leaves his garden house to live in a small hotel with others.
Speaking of his garden house, we have to talk about Wei Jiajia's foresight. Of course, we can't say that she is unique. It can only be said that she has benefited from the light of future generations and knows which places will develop well in the future and which places. Houses will be sky-high in price in the future.
In the second year after the college entrance examination was resumed, Wei Jiajia gathered her brothers and sisters together and took out the things left to them by Wei's father, Wei's mother, and her aunt, and prepared to share them equally with everyone.
Looking at the boxes of gold and silver jewelry that Wei Jiajia carried out, even the calmest Xiang Dong had an almost tense expression on his face.
He didn't expect that his sister would keep such a big secret for more than ten years. She didn't dare to reveal it until society became stable. He didn't dare to think about it, what would she do if something went wrong?
None of the Qiao brothers and sisters doubted whether Wei Jiajia had hidden it secretly, because they knew that she would not. They just felt sorry for her, and felt sorry that she had to bear more than ten years of fear for them, but they had enjoyed their sister's care for more than ten years with peace of mind.
"Sister, I don't want it, I'll give you my share." Xiang Xi spoke first. At this time, he didn't think about what his wife beside him was thinking. He only knew that he couldn't do anything but enjoy the results in vain.
His wife went from being excited when she saw the treasure to being numb when she heard that her husband was not prepared to take it. Although she did not want to give it up, she knew that she had no right to interfere with her husband's decision. Of course, she did not want to interfere either. Between them, she chased him for five years and followed him all over the place before becoming his wife. She didn't want her happiness to end because of these vulgar things.
After Xiangxi finished speaking, the other brothers and sisters expressed their opinions one after another, saying that their share was left to their sister. They had stable jobs and did not lack this.
Wei Jiajia looked at the faces of her younger brothers and sisters that had changed from immature to tough over time, and she smiled. She knew that no matter how they changed, the five siblings' devotion to each other when they depended on each other would never change. This is enough.
"Okay, I just know your hearts. No one of you can shirk these things. My parents and aunts carefully hid these things in order to leave us with the capital to settle down and live in our lives. It is their love for us." Wei Jiajia said. After finishing, he glanced at everyone who was silent and continued, "There are nine thousand eight thousand in cash here, which is my parents' pension and the savings saved by my family in the past. I haven't touched it since my aunt gave it to me. Today I put it It is divided into five parts, one for each of us."
Then she looked at the three boxes of jewelry and jades and a box of gold bars that her aunt gave her, and said, "My aunt told me before she died that these things should be shared equally between the five of us siblings and Aunt Fen's family."
She glanced at Aunt Fen and his wife, who had been sitting by the side since entering the room and did not participate in the conversation between the brothers and sisters. It was not until she finished speaking that Aunt Fen and Uncle Zhuzi looked over in surprise, ready to When he started to refuse, he was interrupted by her.
She said: "I know what you guys want to say, Aunt Fen, but these are what my aunt told me to do. You are her goddaughter. You have served her for decades, and you have also taken care of us five brothers and sisters growing up. This You should have had a share." After saying that, she looked at her younger siblings.
The brothers and sisters listened to what their sister said, looked at her, and expressed their opinions to Aunt Fen not to refuse. They were a family, and these things were left by their aunt, and she could give them to whomever she was willing to give them. I will not have any objections because of this, so Aunt Fen and the others can relax and accept it without any psychological burden. Even the wives of the three brothers are also admonishing them along with their husbands. They know that in the minds of their husbands, Although they have no blood relationship with Aunt Fen and the others, in their hearts, Aunt Fen and the others are their relatives, and Xiang Qing is their biological sister, no different from Nuannuan.
Aunt Fen listened to everyone's sincere words and then nodded with a warm smile.
Wei Jiajia saw that everyone saw so many treasures, but they were able to keep their true intentions and not bend over, scheming, or fussing over it. Her purpose of asking everyone to sit together and divide the family property this time was achieved.
Her things were divided into six parts, one for the five siblings and one for Aunt Fen's family. Until she handed the things over to each family, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She promised her aunt, she did it, she promised She also did what the original owner wanted, and the rest is their own life.
Wei Jiajia saw that everyone was at a loss for a while holding those things, so she suggested that if they were not in urgent need, they should keep the jade and gemstones in their hands. Antiques in the golden age of troubled times are not something that can be easily discussed.
As for the gold, there are many houses that can be rehabilitated and returned. Many families are afraid of another uprising and urgently need to sell their houses and go abroad. They can use gold to buy them and wait for the value of their houses to increase in the future.
As for the money she received, she didn't care and let them use it as they wanted.
Wei Jiajia has always been influential in the Wei family. She said that if this thing maintains and increases in value, it will definitely do so. Over the years, she has rarely been wrong in her predictions.
Later, the six families used the gold to buy several houses, both in Beijing and Shanghai. I even saw my elder sister going to buy a house in a small fishing village in Shenzhen City, which was full of messes, so I asked my eldest sister to help the family buy a house.
They know that if they follow their eldest sister, they will have meat to eat. When commercial housing came out in the 1990s and their houses were demolished for compensation, the brothers and sisters had grown accustomed to their elder sister's foresight and were relatively stable. The same could not be said for the three sisters-in-law of the Wei family. They all looked at their eldest sister as if they were crazy. Looking at the light, I secretly decided in my heart that I must ask my eldest sister when making any decisions in the future. I am afraid this is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth!
Wei Jiajia:......
Youkang's garden house in Shanghai was bought by Wei Jiajia. The three siblings had a house each. Although they were not in the same place, they all bought it from the same owner because she paid with gold and had three houses. Buying together solved the urgent need of the house owner, and it was more than a thousand less than the market price.
Wei Jiajia is lazy and has no big ambitions. She just wants to spend her free time growing flowers, writing books, and traveling.
Even if she knows the future development direction of society and knows which industries are profitable and which are not, she doesn't want to work hard. Only during the development process, I would remind my younger brother Xiang Yang, who only wanted to make money, from time to time, so that he could avoid detours in the process and be one step ahead of others.
The only thing she could think of was to buy a house. Therefore, that year, Qiao Haoyu often went home without seeing his wife, because she was busy traveling around the country to buy a house.
Every time he saw his wife come back and show him the house certificate, saying with excitement that this was the wife's book and dowry she had saved for her son and daughter, it made him feel so miserable that he could only swallow it silently. The dissatisfaction of being alone in an empty room.
Why! With a wife who can know the future, he can only feel pain and happiness.
*
Today is Wei Jiajia's birthday. Qiao Haoyu didn't go to work today. Now he got into the kitchen and got busy, preparing to cook a bowl of longevity noodles for his wife.
Wei Jiajia was sitting on the sofa, surrounded by a group of women and a man who looked like a woman.
A woman has her sister-in-law, sister, daughter and eldest son's girlfriend. As for the extra woman in the pile, it's her younger son who doesn't even have a partner.
He sat in a group of women without any sense of disobedience, next to his mother as if he had no bones, telling everyone about the latest fashion trends, and using his eyes that can detect beauty, he looked at several aunts one by one. With suggestions.
It must be said that his vision is very unique, and the opinions he puts forward can highlight each person's own temperament. Even Wei Jiajia, who has the aesthetic vision of later generations, has to be convinced by this point.
At this moment, Nuan Nuan, who is as beautiful and self-aware as him, is learning from her nephew. She is going to attend a party in Xiangjiang soon. She is going to dress up beautifully and overwhelm the audience. She must not lose. The aura of us mainlanders.
The men and children sat in another place again. The women were not interested in the facts they discussed, and they were even less interested in the movie games the children talked about.
The three groups of people are clearly separated and do not disturb each other, but they occasionally look at each other with the wife and husband, affectionately, and the silence is better than the sound.
When Qiao Haoyu's noodles were brought out, the nanny's food was also ready, and a group of people surrounded her and walked to the dining table.
There is a large rectangular table, which is full of people. The nanny has been preparing meals early in the morning. There are more than ten adults and children, and the table is full. Everyone looks at Wei Jiajia, who is sitting in the front.
Today, her hair is tied up in a loose bun at the back of her head and fixed with a hairpin. The skin on her face is white and smooth, with no wrinkles visible. Her figure is curvy and she is still astonishingly beautiful even in her forties. She was wearing a tight-fitting cheongsam, which was given to her by her daughter. She wore a string of round pearl necklaces around her neck, which were given to her by her youngest son. She had jade earrings on her ears, which were given to her by her eldest son's girlfriend. Picked.
There was also the diamond ring on her ring finger, which her husband had saved up for a year and secretly put on her hand while she was sleeping.
She put all the carefully selected birthday gifts from her brothers and sisters in the living room, ready to take a look at them after dinner.
Wei Jiajia listened to everyone's best wishes to her, looked at the longevity noodles she had eaten for almost 30 years, and the hands hidden under the table were clasped with her husband beside her.
In her entire life, she has had a family relationship that she never dared to imagine, and got the love that she dreamed of. She is very content to be wrapped in love and be able to stay with it until she grows old.
She hoped that today in the future, she could eat a bowl of noodles like this, see herself in his eyes, cling to him, and tell him through actions.
She was very happy to be able to marry him and have all his love.
When they get old and can no longer walk, she will tell him that he is the lover she found across mountains and ridges, across time and space, and that he is the light that shines on her way forward...
