I'm back in 1990

Chapter 918: Sunburnt

"Dad!" Huang Zemin, who is already 1.76 meters tall, saw his father dressed in casual clothes walking out from the country from afar, and shouted loudly while waving.

Upon hearing his son's voice, Huang Dahai immediately spotted his son and his wife, Jiang Rong, who was standing on tiptoe looking in his direction. He then waved back.

The family of three quickly reunited. Huang Dahai took the flowers from Jiang Rong, and the couple hugged each other. Huang Zemian then took his father's suitcase.

After embracing, Huang Dahai waved the flowers in his hand and smiled at Jiang Rong, saying, "You've gone to such lengths to be romantic!"

"What do you know? This is called a sense of ceremony, the highest form of welcome home." Jiang Rong gave the man a reproachful look.

Only then did Huang Zemian call out again, "Dad!"

Huang Dahai opened his arms and hugged his son, patting him on the back. After releasing Huang Zemin, he gestured to show Huang Zemin's height and exclaimed, "Goodness, he's grown so tall in less than a year!"

Jiang Rong looked disgusted, but her words were full of pride: "It's not good if he grows too fast. It's a waste of pants. I have to buy him new pants every two months."

"Haha, he's just a little thinner." Huang Dahai was very satisfied with his son.

At this moment, Jiang Rong urged, "Alright, let's talk at home. Your parents are waiting for you there!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Dahai smiled and patted his son Huang Zemian on the shoulder: "Let's go home!"

The family of three walked towards the airport parking lot. The parking lot was quite large and had many cars. When they arrived, Jiang Rong had a hard time finding a parking space, and it was quite far from the airport arrival exit.

It took the family of three seven or eight minutes to walk to their car.

"You changed cars?" Huang Dahai looked at the brand-new Cadillac XT5 with its hazard lights flashing, slightly surprised.

"That car was five or six years old, and I thought it was fine, but Xiao Chuan insisted on getting a new one." Jiang Rong skillfully opened the trunk and helped her son, Huang Zemian, put the luggage the man had brought back inside.

Originally, her brother-in-law offered her a Range Rover, but Jiang Rong refused it. Just kidding, it would be too flashy for a primary school teacher to drive such a car. Jiang Rong, who prefers to keep a low profile, refused. So, she got this XT5 instead. This car isn't too eye-catching in Shanghai, where luxury cars are everywhere, and its safety is relatively good.

Upon learning that it was his younger brother who had replaced the car, Huang Dahai didn't say anything more. His brother was not only the richest in their Huang family, but also the richest among Chinese people worldwide, so replacing his sister-in-law's car was no big deal. Huang Dahai accepted it readily; it was his own brother, and there was no need to be pretentious.

Jiang Rong was a very skilled driver, and she drove the car through the traffic with ease. About an hour later, she arrived at her parents-in-law's house.

When Zeng Lijuan saw her eldest son, she was so excited that tears streamed down her face. She was overjoyed.

However, her only complaint was about her eldest son's skin. Touching his face, she asked, "Why are you so tanned?"

"Mom, it's from the sea breeze. Everyone gets like this after staying at the beach for a long time. It's not just me," Huang Dahai explained to his elderly mother with a smile.

He then took the initiative to hug his elderly father, Lao Huang. Huang Dahai could clearly feel that his father was much thinner than before, and his heart ached.

"dad!"

"Hey, you're back!" Old Huang smiled and patted Huang Dahai's broad back as he responded to his eldest son's hug, looking very happy.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zeng Lijuan instructed her eldest daughter-in-law, "Please call Xiaochuan and Erhe for me and tell them to come over early tonight."

"Mom, I know, I'll call in a bit." Jiang Rong agreed with a smile. This was arranged by Huang Dahai before he came back, and it was also the reunion dinner that her mother-in-law had been looking forward to. She naturally knew how much her parents-in-law were looking forward to this meal.

At this point, Huang Dahai distributed the gifts he had brought back to his parents.

"Mom, this is American ginseng. You can soak it in water and drink it to boost your immunity. This is a ruby ​​ring. I bought it in Sri Lanka when I was on a naval visit. Try it on and see if it fits."

Zeng Lijuan fell in love at first sight with the ruby ​​ring her eldest son bought for her, and once she put it on, she couldn't bear to take it off.

"Dad, this is a chess set made of Hainan rosewood, for you to play with." Huang Dahai handed another wooden box to his father, Lao Huang.

Upon hearing this, Old Huang immediately took the box and opened it. The chess pieces inside were glossy and smooth to the touch, and he was immediately captivated by them. He kept praising them, saying, "Good, good, good!"

As he got older, Lao Huang developed a love for collecting and playing with items he found interesting, such as this chess set. You see, there has been a surge in interest in antique collectibles in the last two years, so Lao Huang naturally joined in the fun. It's not like he didn't have the means, so he and Lao Yu were frequent customers at several antique markets in Shanghai.

Ever since her eldest son came back, Zeng Lijuan has been staring at him intently.

He even asked, "Dahai, are you tired? Why don't you go to your room and rest for a bit?"

"Mom, I'm not tired. I even took a nap on the plane."

Old Huang then started chatting with his eldest son: "Dahai, why aren't you wearing your military uniform?"

Huang Dahai glanced at his casual clothes and explained to his father, "It's more convenient to wear casual clothes when visiting relatives."

In fact, this is an unwritten rule. Generally, high-ranking military officers like Huang Dahai do not wear military uniforms when they go out for private reasons or visit their families, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

"When will you become a general?" Old Huang couldn't help but ask his eldest son. After all, if the Huang family could produce a general, they would be accomplished in both literature and martial arts, truly bringing glory to their ancestors.

His youngest son is now a world-renowned economist. If his eldest son becomes a general, he will have no regrets in this life. After he passes away, he will be able to give an account to the ancestors of the Huang family.

"General?" Huang Dahai was taken aback by his father's sudden question. He didn't understand why his father had become interested in this matter.

At this moment, the elderly mother, Zeng Lijuan, said from the side, "It was your Uncle Yu who told your father that your current position is only one step away from becoming a general, and your father has been talking about it ever since."

Huang Dahai then understood. He smiled and explained to his father, "Dad, I didn't expect you to care about this. To be honest, I'm already very satisfied with how far I've come. Of course, I'd like to be promoted again, but that depends on the organization's needs. It's not something I can decide on my own."

Old Huang could understand this, but he still firmly believed that his eldest son was very outstanding and had the opportunity to be promoted.
