Chapter 184: Distance
"Your dad is comfortable now, and he doesn't have anything to do all day long, just playing poker with a group of people in the community. ”
Chen Wei's mother complained in a somewhat helpless tone.
When Chen Wei heard that he was playing poker, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and then he was very pleased.
His dad didn't have any hobbies in his life, he liked to play poker.
In the past, when I was working all day and night in my hometown, I didn't have time to play poker.
It's winter, and at the end of the year, it's more leisurely, so I occasionally get together with a group of old guys in the village to play poker.
Now that he's here, there's nothing to do, and it just so happens that many people in Yunzhou also like to play poker, and his dad can finally have a good time.
Chen Wei was worried that his parents would be a little bored here, but he didn't expect that his father had only been here for a week and found fun.
"My dad likes to play poker, so let him play it well, and he doesn't play for money anyway. After working for half a lifetime, it's time to rest. Mom, you can go down and walk around if you have nothing to do, don't keep bored at home. ”
Chen Wei smiled and said.
"What's there to hang out about, it's good to watch TV at home. ”
Ding Shufen chopped the meat filling, began to mix noodles again, and replied casually.
"Aren't there a lot of square dancing aunts in the community? You can also go down in the morning and evening to jump along with the group and exercise your body. ”
Chen Wei said with a smile.
"Oh, hey, I'm not going, I'm a dead person. A woman's house, jumping around in front of people, what is it like, I won't go. ”
Ding Shufen is still very traditional, besides, although the hometown has developed well in the past two years, it is still not as open as the coastal side, and the women in the village sit together to chat and make up a basket or something when they are idle on weekdays.
Chen Wei also knows that his mother's concept cannot be changed in a day or two, and Chen Wei also feels that those who dance square dances are indeed quite annoying, so if his mother doesn't want to dance, she won't dance.
The mother and son chatted for a while, and after Ding Shufen reconciled the noodles, the two made dumplings together, Chen Wei rolled the skin, and Ding Shufen wrapped it.
It's rare for the two to chat together so leisurely.
Ding Shufen asked Chen Wei how the company was doing, and Chen Wei said that it was very good, and he had earned millions more this week.
Ding Shufen was shocked.
Chen Wei said that after the New Year, the family's orchard would be transferred to his uncle, and the old couple would come to live in Yunzhou.
After wrapping the dumplings, it was not yet eleven o'clock.
Ding Shufen called Chen Jianping and urged him to go home.
The voice on the other end of the phone was chaotic, and Chen Jianping said that he would go home after making this call.
It turned out that I didn't come back until almost twelve o'clock.
Ding Shufen chattered a few words to Chen Jianping, and then went to cook dumplings.
Chen Jianping didn't take it to heart, and chatted with Chen Wei here for a few words, talking about his plans after the year.
Chen Jianping has lived here for a few days, and he doesn't want to leave.
Originally, I was worried that I would be bored if I didn't know the place in the city, but now I found a group of card friends, and I couldn't miss it.
In addition, his son is not short of money now, so he really doesn't need to work tirelessly every day like before.
Anyway, Yunzhou is not far from his hometown, and when his son buys a car in the future, he can catch up on the day he wants to go home.
He told Chen Wei that he would go home at the end of the year to discuss with his uncle, and then transfer the orchard to his uncle.
It just so happens that Uncle Chen Wei's orchard is next to his family, which is also convenient.
After eating, Chen Wei went to sleep.
He slept until almost four o'clock, got up and told his mother that there was a party and that dinner would not be eaten at home.
Ding Shufen didn't say much, just told him to drink less.
Pan Jing had already booked a hotel.
Still in the east of the city, the hotel is called Northwest People's House.
A very special restaurant. There are private rooms inside, but not like the private rooms of general restaurants, the private rooms here, there are no tables and chairs, just a big earthen kang, in the middle of the earthen kang is built a square table that is about 30 centimeters high, slightly larger than the table of eight immortals, there is a big iron pot embedded in the middle of the table, the bottom of the pot is burned with charcoal, the pot is stewed with fish and chicken, put some tofu, bean sprouts and other side dishes, everyone sits on the earthen kang, around this table, and then order a few other dishes, the cold day, hot and hot, but it is really unique.
Chen Wei came at the point in time, and when he arrived, everyone else had already arrived.
As soon as he entered the private room, he saw a group of people sitting on the kang, and the pot was steaming, Chen Wei was also happy.
"You're really looking for a place!"
Chen Wei said.
The baffle in the middle of the private room was opened, and the three earthen kangs were connected together, and three tables of people were seated.
Pan Jing and Zhao Yang, as well as Zheng Junpeng and Ma Hongrui, plus Tan Rui, the five of them sat at a table, slightly empty.
Zhou Yi and the six female colleagues brought by Pan Jing sat at the other two tables, and there were seven or eight people at one table.
"Why did you come here? I'm waiting for you, come, come, sit here!"
Pan Jing greeted him, pulled Chen Wei without saying anything, and asked him to sit inside.
Zhao Yang was sitting in the innermost, Zheng Junpeng and his family were next to him, and Pan Jing and Tan Rui were on the other side.
When Chen Wei came, Pan Jing gave up her position and let him sit between Zhao Yang and Tan Rui, and she sat on the outside, next to Ma Hongrui and Tan Rui.
Chen Wei took off his shoes and put on the kang, walked in from behind Tan Rui, sat down, and said, "I rushed from Zhongcheng District, and I was a little delayed on the way, I'm really embarrassed." ”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Tan Rui beside him again, nodded to her, and said hello.
Tan Rui smiled shyly, naturally reached out to help Chen Wei take off his coat, and said, "It's hot in the house, take off your coat." ”
Chen Wei did not refuse, and took off his coat.
Tan Rui took Chen Wei's coat and got up and hung it on the wall behind him.
Then he sat down next to Chen Wei, with the virtuous demeanor of a small jasper.
Several people looked at each other, but no one said anything, and they all pretended not to see it.
Only Pan Jing smiled, turned around and went out, beckoning the waiter to serve the food.
"Why didn't you bring your girlfriend here?"
Zhao Yang asked, and then glanced at Tan Rui intentionally or unintentionally.
Tan Rui still kept smiling, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
He even took the initiative to pour Chen Wei a cup of hot tea.
Chen Wei said thank you, and then said to Zhao Yang: "She is on a business trip and will not be able to come back until next week." ”
Zhao Yang sighed and didn't ask any more.
Chen Wei exchanged a few more words with Ma Hongrui, and finally asked Tan Rui: "How is this time?"
Since Liu Jia got married last time, the two have not met.
In the days after the wedding, Tan Rui also sent Chen Wei a WeChat message from time to time, but Chen Wei replied simply and politely every time, the sense of distance was obvious, and Tan Rui did not send any more private messages.
