Chapter 51: Family Gatherings
Ji Linyuan knew from the day he asked Liu Chen to join the Starlight Bar that Liu Chen was not a person who was willing to stay in the bar and work in the bar all his life, but he didn't expect his first goal to be the Roman Club, which is a club that can be counted in Zhongxing Street and even Jiangxia City, and it is a bit difficult to eat it, how Liu Chen quietly snatched 30% of the equity from Sun Yiwei's mouth is too unbelievable.
"How did you do that?"
"It's very simple, let him feel threatened by me, make him feel scared, and he will naturally trade these things outside of his body. Liu Chen replied lightly, he seemed to be very aware of the weaknesses of these people.
"But you will definitely not be satisfied with only this 30%, is there a bigger plan?" Ji Linyuan turned his head and said.
Liu Chen sighed in his heart that Li Rongfei was an indispensable person in his life, but in terms of career, Ji Linyuan was undoubtedly the one who understood him better.
"That's right, I plan to become the largest shareholder of the Roman Club and then kick Son Yiwei out of Roman. ”
"Hehe, you've changed, you're no longer the one who only solves problems with violence, you've become smarter. ”
This is how Liu Chen transformed, it is true that his violent methods can help him solve most things, but wisdom will make him safer and more terrifying.
In the evening, Liu Chen appeared at the school gate of Jiangxia Middle School on time, and Li Rongfei walked out of the school with Zhen Shanmei and got into Liu Chen's car. Zhen Shanmei got into the car and asked, "Brother, did your parents go home from the hospital today?"
"yes, we're going back to dinner now. ”
"Is Mr. Li going too?"
"Of course, my parents specially invited her, and the two of us just came by the way, so she didn't do anything, haha. ”
Li Rongfei was embarrassed to say this, the whole family was for her, which made her feel so stressed, if she didn't do something well, wouldn't it be a shame and a big loss.
At home, Guan Shaoqing and Lin Huimei were busy in the kitchen, and when they saw that they were all back, they hurriedly came out to entertain them enthusiastically. This home has never been so lively, it is more lively than the usual New Year, the neighbors passed by the door, saw this scene, and stopped and asked: "Old Chen, is the house so lively today?"
Chen Lao is everyone's name for Guan Shaoqing, his real name is rarely known, and he can never mention it, but he feels that everyone calls him Chen Lao is a respect for him, so he didn't correct it.
Guan Shaoqing said with a smile: "Yes, my son and daughter-in-law are back, let's celebrate, haha." From the words, you can hear Guan Shaoqing's pride and rarity.
"It's the son you have been missing for more than 20 years, and you're back, and you're back with your daughter-in-law?" As he spoke, he walked home, and saw Liu Chen and Li Rongfei sitting in the house, and he became excited: "Old Chen, you are really blessed, not only is your son back, but your daughter-in-law is so beautiful, I am really happy for you, haha." ”
Guan Shaoqing led him into the house and introduced Liu Chen and Li Rongfei: "Xiaochen, Xiaofei, this is our neighbor for more than ten years, Uncle Zhang. ”
Liu Chen immediately got up, took out a cigarette and handed it over: "Hello Uncle Zhang, my name is Liu Chen, and this is my girlfriend, Li Rongfei." ”
"Uncle Zhang, hello!" Li Rongfei also stepped forward to say hello.
Uncle Zhang took the cigarette with a smile: "Okay, okay, the family can finally be together in the future, it's great!"
Uncle Zhang and Guan Shaoqing chatted at the door for a while and then went back, and it can be seen that since Liu Chen came back, Guan Shaoqing has become a lot more cheerful and talkative, which is the change he brought to this family and brought hope to this family.
Li Rongfei saw that Lin Huimei was busy in the kitchen alone, so she took the initiative to help, at first she just gave Lin Huimei a hand, and then she also went into battle to cook, seeing her decent movements, Liu Chen asked in surprise: "It turns out that you can still cook, why haven't I seen you perform before." ”
Li Rongfei smiled mysteriously: "When I was with you, you were all rushing to cook, how could I have a chance to perform, really." ”
"I'm not afraid you'll be tired. ”
Seeing the two flirting and scolding each other's "no", Lin Huimei was envious and relieved, it is really more important for children to find their own happiness than anything else.
A table full of dishes, five people around the small table, it seemed a little crowded, but it brought everyone's hearts closer. Tonight's dinner is really rare, Liu Chen took out two bottles of Moutai from the car, a bottle of red wine, everyone drank some wine, Liu Chen accompanied his father to drink Moutai, girls drank red wine, and even Zhen Shanmei, who was still studying, was also made an exception by her parents to drink.
The girls didn't drink much, and in the end, Liu Chen and his father pushed the cup and changed the lamp and refused to stop. After being separated for twenty-eight years, the father and son have too many things to say, but they don't know where to start, thousands of words are in a glass of wine, drink cup by cup, and keep pouring the love in their hearts that has been cold for too long. Although many years have passed, Guan Shaoqing still has a deep memory of what happened at the train station that day, and he can't forget it.
Liu Chen learned from his father about what happened that day, and the damage caused to the family afterwards, his eyes gradually moistened, and when his father talked about his mother's good year, the father and son finally couldn't suppress the sadness in their hearts, and cried out bitterly, accompanied by the anesthesia of alcohol, they couldn't take care of the three girls around them.
What was originally a happy reunion dinner turned into a sad memory.
The next day, Guan Shaoqing took Liu Chen to his mother's cemetery, which was a somewhat old cemetery, and the cold wind blew down, making the place even more desolate and sad, and even the smell in the air was sad.
My mother's grave is on the east side, which is a cemetery where she was buried relatively early, and the marble on it has some cracks. Although the photo above is a little blurry, you can still see the beautiful and gentle appearance of my mother when she was young, and the name and date of birth and death are written under the photo. My mother's name is Ding Ji, and she is only 30 years old.
"Mom is so beautiful. Liu Chen touched the cold avatar and said.
Guan Shaoqing smiled, remembering when his wife was young, and said unexpectedly: "Your mother is the school flower in our school, I chased her back then, and it took a long time to catch her, hehe, at that time, it was my happiest time." ”
But laughing and laughing, he cried, crying because he missed his wife, and cried because he was sympathetic to his wife's unfortunate life.
He knelt down in front of his wife's grave, crying and said to her: "Xiaoji, our child is back, he is back, he is very handsome and beautiful, he looks like you, he is a good person, and he is also very promising, I brought him to see you, have you seen it?"
Liu Chen also knelt down in front of the tomb, tears couldn't stop crawling all over his face, seeing the portrait of his mother who gave him life, but he never had a chance to repay it, Liu Chen kowtowed deeply: "Mom, I came to see you, I hurt you, it's me who is not filial, are you okay in heaven? Mom, I miss you so much!" After speaking, Liu Chen knocked heavily to the ground again, one, two, Guan Shaoqing on the side hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, he knew that his son was too sad and too self-blaming, thinking that his own separation caused his mother to fall ill and die. Guan Shaoqing hugged his son tightly and gave him comfort and encouragement, "Child, you have to take good care of your body, what your mother hopes most is that you can grow up healthily and live a good life, you know?"
Liu Chen hugged his father tightly, his crying face couldn't help nodding, now there is only his father left, he must take good care of him, be filial to him, and his share to his mother.
After worshipping his mother, Liu Chen and his father sat and chatted here until almost noon. Seeing that the family's house was too dilapidated, Liu Chen decided to buy a new house for his father and Aunt Lin, which was more spacious and convenient.
Liu Chen began to pay attention to housing prices, Jiangxia City has developed rapidly in recent years, and housing prices have also risen, from 3,000 square meters the year before last to 8,000 square meters this year, this is not the city center, but it is relatively far away from the urban area, and the city center is not a 15,000 can not be bought.
He told his father about the idea of buying a house, but he didn't expect his father to resolutely object: "Now that housing prices are so expensive, why buy us a new house, we don't need it, keep the money, you have more places to spend money in the future, it costs money to get married, and it costs money to spend money in the future, so you still have to save some money, don't spend this unnecessary money on me and your aunt." ”
Judging from my father's attitude, the plan to buy them a new house is currently impossible, but it should be more realistic to rent them a larger house first.
The reason Liu Chen said to his father was: "The house is bigger, the living environment is better, Aunt Lin's health is not very good, and living too poorly will affect her body, besides, Xiaomei is also older, it is impossible to always share a room with you." ”
This reason is almost impeccable, Liu Chen knows that his father will not treat Lin Huimei and Zhen Shanmei badly no matter how reluctant he is, since this is the case, of course his father has no opinion.
Liu Chen already had an idea in his heart, he told Li Rongfei about it, Li Rongfei was also very supportive, and promised to help see if there was a house for rent in Tianyi Mansion. It would be best if there was one there, and we could see each other often in the future and take care of each other. This matter is handed over to Li Rongfei to deal with, and he can rest assured.
The news of Guan Shaoqing's reunion with his long-lost son quickly spread in Dongyi Village, and those fellow villagers who cared about him came to congratulate him. In the past few days, Guan Shaoqing's family has been in the market, and Guan Shaoqing is also willing to share this good news with everyone. The matter spread farther and farther, and the more it spread, the more miraculous it became, and even the people from the newspaper and TV station called many times to ask for an interview, but Guan Shaoqing politely refused, but this time, an uninvited guest came to the house, saying that it was a reporter from the newspaper and wanted to write a special report for them, Guan Shaoqing also refused at first, because of his own family affairs, it was not good to be transmitted to the TV newspaper. The reporter was not discouraged after being rejected, but found a reason that could not tolerate Guan Shaoqing's refusal.
