Rebirth to 80s: Daughter-in-law is a Bit Spicy

Chapter 1924: : Let's maintain face (3 more)

"What is the superficial grandfather-grandchild relationship?"

Tina blurted out, annoyed that she wanted to bite off her tongue.

Grandma Yu showed her approval:

"Your question is very good, at least express your attitude to solve this matter. If you have to do one thing if you are happy or unhappy, why not be happy? Are you right? The superficial grandfather-grandchild relationship is me. To fulfill your duty as a grandmother, you also cooperate to fulfill the responsibilities of a granddaughter. You can scold me and blame me in your heart, but in front of outsiders, you must maintain respect for your elders...Seriously, I am doing this for your own good. If the elders are not unkind, but a young man rants rudely to the elders, no matter which country you are in, you will be blocked by the normal social circle. Others will think you are a bad person, think about it, and are willing to associate with you , Can only be the same bad people."

Tina was taken aback by the scene told by Grandma Yu.

She couldn't help but imagined, if the Xu family stopped her on the campus of Columbia University, and she talked badly at each other, the Xu family would show her identity to her classmates and friends, what would their friends think of her?

She can explain to a friend.

What does the explainable content say?

If she says it out, friends will find her weird.

Relatives who have been separated for many years come to the door, but she uses a bad attitude.

Tina was silent for a moment.

Her attitude towards the Xu family is indeed unreasonable.

In the United States, even if it is an adopted child, when the biological parents come to the door to show their identity, most of the adoptive parents and the child will not reject it. Legally, biological parents do not get any advantage, and re-contacting is only out of emotion.

The biological parents will not be turned away, they will contact several times a year, and walk around as relatives who are not far away.

If you can't raise a child, you can give it to someone for adoption to leave a way for the child to survive.

She can regard the Xu family as such a relationship.

There is a blood relationship, and they are emotionally alienated. The two sides maintain this kind of politeness, don't you need to be embarrassed?

Tina nodded unconsciously: "If this is only the case, I can do it."

Is this also OK?

Xu Changle saw that his grandmother was there, and he knew that his sister Tina had fallen into the pit.

But for family reunion, how could he remind Tina that this was a pit dug by his grandmother.

"I was going to sign an agreement with you, after thinking about it, forget it. Although Cui...you are different from her, you have the blood of the Xu family in your body, I believe you once. But there is only one chance. , If you tear up our verbal agreement, I would be too disappointed in you. Trust me, you dont want to see what I look like when Im disappointed in someone."

Grandma Yu despised Cui Yiru in her words.

Tina felt sorry for her mother, but she did not dare to refute it.

Others felt that Cui Yiru did wrong and paid the price of his life, so there is no need to investigate those wrong things. So no one said ill of Cui Yiru in front of Tina, but the grandmother's contemptuous sense of confidence, Tina felt that if she could tell her a word, this old lady would debase her mother into the dust.

"Then what exactly am I going to do?"

"Keep our verbal agreement confidential. When there are outsiders, you maintain respect for me. I may want to teach you something, but if you want to learn it, I won't force it."

It was too fierce at first, but now that Tina feels a bit simple when it comes to the request.

She nodded, "I can do it!"

Grandma Yu hummed softly, "Xiaolan, you pour a cup of tea for me, I will give her the first class today!"

Puff--

This old lady has so many tricks.

Xia Xiaolan held back a smile.

No, such a serious scene, she can't be dismantled from grandma's desk.

Tina didn't understand these customs at all, and she looked at a loss.

Xu Zhongyi let go of his voice: "The juniors at home must pay respects to their elders before they go far away, and they must tell the elders when they go home from afar."

The juniors who have returned far away must "please" their elders.

After the establishment of China and entering modern society, many rules have become outdated and can only be simplified. It's not a feudal society, no one will give a big gift "please peace" anymore.

But simplification does not mean there is no.

After going out for a long time, then go home, bring something alone to visit the elders, to show that they have returned safely, which is still a book of rituals that many modern people are consciously sticking to. For example, young people who work outside and return home only once or twice a year will want to bring something to visit their grandparents and grandparents.

Tina didn't want to recognize Xu's family, so how could she bring anything to Grandma Yu.

So Grandma Yu asked her to toast a cup of tea, which is considered to be a complete etiquette.

Tina, in another sense, is the daughter of the Xu family's "returning".

Xia Xiaolan handed the tea cup to Tina:

"Here, hand it to your grandma with both hands and invite her to have tea. It's very simple."

Tina hesitated with the tea.

She was completely brought to the rhythm, and she did what Xia Xiaolan said in a muddle.

He handed the tea cup out, opened his mouth, couldn't say "grandma", and said vaguely "you drink tea".

Grandma Yu's face was stern, Xu Changle begged.

Grandma Yu murmured, "Finally, it's still a long time, so I can teach it more slowly."

The old lady took the teacup and got her mouth wet. She put the teacup down, took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to Tina: "You do your duty, and I have to do my duty. I dont know you. What do you like, give you a little pocket money and buy it yourself."

Huh? !

Give her money?

This old lady is crazy, she is not short of money at all, she has a cash inheritance of more than 20 million US dollars, and some real estate.

Look at this old lady again, she doesn't have a piece of jewelry on her body, she must be richer than her.

But the expression of giving her a red envelope, and a look of not taking money seriously, and not asking her whether she likes it or not.

Grandma Yu didn't wait for Tina to react, looked at the clock on the wall, and stood up from the sofa:

"Okay, it's getting late. My old lady can't compare with your young people. Now when it's time for me to go to bed, you don't have to stay in this room and feel uncomfortable. You can go. I think tonight is a good one. At the beginning, I hope this verbal agreement will continue to be implemented."

So, is this driving her away?

With an impatient look, it was like the old lady herself said, just walking through the scene and fulfilling the obligations of the "grandma".

Tina exhaled angrily, still holding a red envelope in her hand.

This time, Tina and Xu's father and son were all invited out of the room.

The door slammed shut.

Xu Changle smiled awkwardly: "...Grandma has a hot temper on the inside."

Tina looked at him with suspicion.

She is not that easy to deceive, and will never believe her brother's words again.

What is cold on the outside and hot on the inside? This is an old Chinese lady who is serious on the outside and hard as a stone on the inside.

Tina squeezed the red envelope and walked quickly to the elevator-too embarrassing, she thought that the other party would cry and say that he missed her "granddaughter", would apologize to her, would show various weaknesses and cultivate feelings with her, and tell Her Xu family love her very much and look forward to her coming back to Xu's house.

But, none of these!
