Chapter 70: Hospitality and Simplicity
As soon as the family of four got out of the car, the neighbors they knew asked who this girl was.
has a better relationship, and the neighbor who usually likes to joke asked directly: "Little brother, is this your girlfriend?"
Li Chen couldn't cry or laugh, and Chen's father was about to pry him with a broom: "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, this is my daughter." ”
Chen's father is such a son as Li Chen, everyone knows it. This cold ran out of a daughter, and the owner of the noodle shop next to him smiled: "Okay, you are a fat man, you usually look very honest, you actually have an illegitimate child? Sister-in-law, you can't spare him." ”
Now it's Chen's father's turn to jump to his feet: "What nonsense are you talking about kneading dough." Punish you for closing the shop at night and get me a few tables. I'll go grocery shopping with me later. ”
Friendship is sometimes really unreasonable, and the owner of the noodle restaurant is not hypocritical: "Okay, you are the eldest brother, you have the final say." Just call me later. ”
Chen's father nodded: "This is reasonable." ”
Turning his head and saying to the neighbors next to him who usually play better: "Don't guess, come to Lao Gao's noodle restaurant at night." I'll invite you to dinner, and we will know about the happy events in our family. I brought the whole family with me, and I remembered. ”
If there is a happy event, then everyone is naturally happy for Li Chen's family. They all said that they must come in the evening.
opened the door of the store, and Chen's father brought Min Rongrong in. He took the buns and the milk again, for fear that the Min Rongrong would be starved.
Li Chen complained next to him: "I'm hungry too!!"
Chen's mother glared: "When you're hungry, look for something to eat by yourself, it's not like you don't know where it is." ”
Chen's father and mother were shouting at Min Rongrong for a while, and finally Li Chen couldn't stand it anymore: "I said Daddy and Mom, are you eating steamed buns for lunch? ”
Chen's father glared: "Eat, eat, you know how to eat." I'm going to sell lo-mei, so I'll cut some pig ears for you, it's okay, virtue. ”
Li Chen found a small stool and sat there: "Hey, the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient." If you have a daughter, you don't want a son!"
Complaining is complaining, but Li Chen's heart has no waves at all.
Since I was a child, I was a little unlearned, and my parents didn't worry about themselves. In addition, Min Rongrong's life experience is indeed pitiful, so ah, it is not a matter to go from a little maternal love to herself.
The family had lunch happily, and Li Chen proposed to take Min Rongrong out for a walk. Chen's father and Chen's mother got up in the early hours of the morning yesterday, and now they should go to rest.
Chen's father knew Li Chen's thoughts and nodded, and sighed in his heart that his son had grown up, so he didn't say anything.
Chen's mother originally wanted to give Li Chen and the two of them some money, but Li Chen refused.
Li Chen said with a smile: "I'm not telling you that the business of my online store is very good and it is making money." I've got money of my own! And you're so tired from making this breakfast, if you turn it off, I can afford to feed you. ”
Chen's mother was a little "angry" and kicked the two of them out of the house.
Closing the door of the store, Chen's mother sat on the bed alone in a daze.
Chen's father saw it and patted her on the shoulder: "Okay, while we're still doing it, this store won't be closed for the time being." We relied on this shop to build a house and raise our son. My son didn't say he hated it, he just didn't want us to be too tired. I know that this store has a very special meaning to us, and it is also a kind of thought. But the two of us will still get old sooner or later, and sooner or later we will have to shut it down. ”
Chen's mother nodded with tears in her eyes.
Time is still inexorably passing, and no one can stop it. Feel the passage of his life force, and his wife's more and more rickety figure.
sigh that time is merciless, I am really starting to get old.
The words were divided into two ends, and Li Chen didn't know that his unintentional words made his parents think so much.
At this time, Li Chen was taking Min Rongrong to the market.
This is the junction of urban and rural areas, due to the large number of foreign population, the foreign population gathering place has gradually formed, and there are many people who set up stalls.
Here you can see all kinds of things that you don't usually see.
A two-pound big pear, all kinds of snacks.
Li Chen ran over and bought a pear, asked the boss to help peel the skin, and the two of them ate it when it was wrapped in a bag.
In the east, there are watermelons for sale, two cents a pound. Li Chen looked at the pear in his hand and then at the stall selling watermelon, and complained angrily: "Don't seduce me." I'll settle accounts with you when I'm done. ”
Min Rongrong covered her mouth and laughed when she heard it.
Li Chen took Min Rongrong to eat everywhere, here is a bowl of peanut milk, where is a string of rock sugar gourds.
There were acquaintances beckoning over there, and it was a good reception in the past.
But every time he finished eating at an acquaintance, Li Chen would never forget to put money.
Li Chen said to Min Rongrong earnestly: "Girl, you have to remember. For example, these acquaintances invite us to dinner, which is the intention of others, but we must not be ignorant. This is what people depend on for their survival, and we have to pay for food. We can't refuse when people give us favors, but we must also do not be unjust. Ruthless and unrighteous people are too tired to live, and it is estimated that they don't even have a real friend around them. ”
Walking around, Li Chen began to suffer, although Chen's father was chubby, his mouth could speak.
From the boss of a private company to the beggar on the street, Chen's father can talk to others. There are friends everywhere, which also caused Li Chen at this time to keep accusing others: "Uncle, aunt, don't don't, I really can't eat." Really, I'm not being polite to you, I really can't eat it. ”
Well, too enthusiastic. The stomachs of Li Chen and Min Rongrong are bulging.
If you stuff it again, it is estimated that Li Chen will dare to spit it out to you on the spot.
Li Chen, who couldn't stand it, couldn't help it, so he hurriedly took Min Rongrong to buy a few clothes and wine, and quickly retreated home.
When I got home, the two of them were already sitting in their chairs and were in a trance.
Chen's father and Chen's mother have already rested and got up.
At this time, Dad was preparing to push the electric car out of the house, calling Lao Gao to buy vegetables in the district and make a few tables in the evening.
Seeing Li Chen and Min Rongrong in a trance, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you two?"
Li Chen waved his hand and was too lazy to speak, Min Rongrong also rubbed his stomach, and said with a smile: "My brother took me to the market just now, but those uncles and aunts were so enthusiastic that they had to invite us to eat, and they ate all of a sudden." ”
Dad Chen was stunned for a moment: "Why are there still people inviting you to dinner?"
Chen's mother happened to come over, and when she heard this, she suddenly said angrily: "You are friends everywhere, and beggars are rice friends." Xiaochen and they all know each other, and they know that they can't be invited to eat when they just open. ”
Chen's father nodded: "That's right, they are all more enthusiastic and simple." By the way, Li Chen, have you given money to others? ”
Li Chen raised his head and smiled: "If my father educates, how can I forget." Rest assured, you can put money in the place where you eat. ”
Chen's father grinned: "Good son, pay attention, then I'll go grocery shopping." ”
Li Chen remembered something all of a sudden, and hurriedly shouted: "Dad, bring a big watermelon back." ”
