Chapter 233: A Visitor Visits (First Update)
While busy privatizing the South China Morning Post, Yan Wenhan had already gone to take over the newspaper, and Jiuding Newspaper Company held 84.9% of the shares, even if it was not privatized, it was the absolute controlling major, and it was a natural move to take over the company.
In the morning, Yan Wenhan also reported a good news to Xia Yu, that is, a number of big newspapers in Xiangjiang that had been unwilling to cooperate before took the initiative to seek cooperation, and when he got the news, Xia Yu just smiled faintly, and there was no surprise.
The people at the helm of this big newspaper are all smart people, and now is the time to finally stand in line and pull a good impression, if you miss it, you won't have any worries about what Jiuding Newspaper Company will do in the future.
The time flickered to the evening, because there was something at home, Xia Yu took the car home early.
However, on the way home, I made a special turn and bought some good food to go back.
Because tonight, Xia Yu's uncle's family is coming, and Xia Yu's mother Chen Mei also made a special call to tell Xia Yu to come back early and buy more good food.
Sitting in the car home, Xia Yu's eyes were a little distant, and his thoughts went back to the past, thinking about the situation of his uncle's family.
The uncle's name is Chen Liang, and he is the only surviving brother of Xia Yu's mother Chen Mei.
Xia Yu's mother was the youngest, and above her mother, she originally had three older brothers, but unfortunately, two of her brothers died when they were young, leaving only Chen Liang, and later Xia Yu's grandmother gave birth to Chen Mei again.
It can be said that Chen Mei has never seen the two brothers who died young, but the only brother Chen Liang loves her very much, no matter what good things are left to her, Chen Mei doesn't know how many times she has said these things in front of Xia Yu.
And Xia Yu's grandparents also passed away early because they were old, so the relatives on the mother's side are only the uncle Chen Liang's family.
Xia Yu still remembers that when he was a child, he was very weak, and when many relatives on his father's side did not borrow money, his poor uncle Chen Liang did take out the most money, and also gave Xia Yu an ancestral century-old ginseng to replenish his body.
It's a pity that Xia Yu's uncle was working as a coolie at the dock when he was young, and was accidentally hit by a heavy object, and he had a problem with his waist, so he couldn't do hard work anymore and couldn't give birth to a child, but fortunately gave birth to a son early.
I heard that my uncle Chen Liang was working as a doorman in a factory.
It is said that it is not a family that does not enter the door, Xia Yu's aunt Tian Wenyu's personality is somewhat similar to that of her uncle Chen Liang, and she is more good at caring about Chen Liang's face, but she is a woman after all, and there will always be some small abacus in her heart.
But as long as she is at home, Chen Liang says the same, even if her aunt Tian Wenyu has any thoughts, as long as Chen Liang stares, she will immediately shut up.
As for Xia Yu's cousin Chen Bin, he is 22 years old this year, he doesn't like to read since he was a child, his personality follows his father, and he is honest, because the family situation is not good, the woman looks down on him, and the main reason is that he is stupid and has a relatively silent personality, which leads to the fact that he is still 22 years old and still has not yet started a family, which can make Chen Liang and his wife anxious.
Just as Xia Yu was rethinking, the car entered the gate of the community and arrived at the door of the house after a while.
Hearing the sound of the car, the door of Xia Yu's house opened, revealing Xia Xiaomei's little head, and after seeing Xia Yu get out of the car, Xia Xiaomei shouted sweetly: "Big brother, you are back." ”
"Mom and Dad, big brother is back. ”
Xia Xiaomei turned around and shouted inside, and then ran out to help Xia Yu carry things.
As soon as he entered the door, Xia Yu saw his parents and his uncle's family of three in the living room.
When they saw Xia Yu, their uncle's family did not have the previous casualness, but had some restraint, as if they were taking into account Xia Yu's current identity.
"Ayu, you're back. ”
Uncle Chen Liang smiled a little uncomfortably and shouted at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu shouted enthusiastically: "Uncle, aunt, cousin." ”
After seeing Xia Yu's enthusiastic attitude, Chen Liang grinned, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that this nephew's attitude towards him was still the same as before.
And Tian Wenyu, who was standing beside Chen Liang, smiled even brighter, and said with concern: "Ayu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but now I look at it, and I am more handsome than before." ”
"Ayu. ”
Cousin Chen Bin shouted Xia Yu, and then wanted to say something else, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to fall into silence and maintain a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"Uncle, sit, don't stand. ”
"Mom, I've already bought the vegetables, Xiaomei just put them in the kitchen. ”
After Xia Yu finished speaking, he sat down, and then picked up the teapot and poured tea for his uncle's family.
Seeing Xia Yu's movements, Chen Liang and Tian Wenyu smiled even more, but they still looked a little restrained.
The two of them know Xia Yu's current identity, he is worth hundreds of millions, and he is a tycoon-level figure, in the past few months, although he has not taken the initiative to come to Xia Yu's house, nor has he seen Xia Yu, but they have been paying attention to Xia Yu's news.
And even if they don't take the initiative to understand, the neighbors will often envy them to tell them about Xia Yu, hoping that they can take advantage of Chen Liang's relationship when the time comes.
It's a pity that after so many months, Xia Yu didn't take the initiative to find his uncle, which made him feel uncomfortable, others saw that his family had not changed, and the red-eyed people couldn't help but gossip, which made Chen Liang also begin to wonder if his nephew Xia Yu looked down on him as a poor uncle.
Fortunately, her sister Chen Mei often came to deliver something, but Chen Mei also said that she couldn't be Xia Yu's master, and Xia Yu had been very busy, and even none of Xia Yu's father's relatives had ever been there, which made Chen Liang feel better.
Even so, although his wife Tian Wenyu often encouraged him to come to Xia Yu, Chen Liang, who had strong self-esteem, refused to agree, but this time, there was really no way, for the sake of his son, he finally came.
But fortunately, it seems that Xia Yu's attitude towards him is still very good, so what my sister said is true, Xia Yu's career is too busy and he has no time to go to his relatives' house.
Then, Xia Yu's family chatted with his uncle's family, and then his aunt and mother cooked together, leaving a few men of all sizes to chat in the living room.
After dinner, everyone sat down around the tea table to drink tea.
Xia Yu's eyes saw that his aunt was always pulling his uncle's clothes, but his uncle Chen Liang was always entangled, he just wanted to ask, but his mother Chen Mei, who had been signaled by his father Xia Dahai, spoke: "Ayu, your cousin has found a girl." “
Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at the embarrassed Chen Bin unexpectedly, and said with a smile: "Cousin, congratulations, when will you eat your wedding wine?" ”
Hearing Xia Yu say this, cousin Chen Bin scratched his head and said with a reluctant smile: "It must be." ”
Chen Liang and Tian Wenyu, who were preoccupied, also smiled, but the smile quickly converged, and Chen Liang's face was a little sad.
"Uncle, it's a good thing that my cousin has found a girl, if you have any problems, just tell me, I'm your nephew, don't see me. ”
Xia Yu said with a smile, very serious.
"Ah Yu, Ah Bin finally found the girl, the woman's family also knew about him, and it was a good talk, but now because something happened, the woman's family has an opinion, and I have no choice but to pull down my face and ask you for help. ”
Chen Liang sighed and said.
Xia Yu bowed his head slightly, indicating understanding.
The major event in life is nothing more than starting a family, and now it is about his cousin's starting a family, Xia Yu naturally will not refuse, not to mention that his uncle has always been very good to their family before, and he has never snobbed over to make excessive demands after his rise, and now it is rare to come to him for help, this busy, he is a nephew, and it is naturally obligatory.
"Uncle, just tell me, what's the problem, as long as I can do it, I will do my best!"
Xia Yu looked at his uncle Chen Liang sincerely and said.
"Then I'll say it. ”
"It's mainly a problem of work, before Abin has been working in the toy factory where I worked, but at the beginning of this year, the son of the old factory director came back from the United States, and then he reformed, and the steps were bigger, resulting in the current production of toys can not be sold, the old factory is hospitalized, and now the whole factory has not been able to pay wages for a month, the factory has also stopped, and it is about to close down, and now I can't find a job in a few factories, and the woman's parents have opinions on this, saying that he has no stable job and can't support the family. ”
Chen Liang said with a sad face, then hesitated for a while, looked at Xia Yu with a begging gaze and said, "Ah Yu, you have great skills and know a lot of people, do you know where to recruit workers, and introduce a job to your cousin." ”
Xia Yu listened quietly, and sighed in his heart, his uncle said so tactfully, knowing that he was capable, but he didn't directly let him be arranged into his company, but asked him to help introduce a job, it seems that he is still a little out of sight, or he thinks about it more.
However, from his uncle's words, Xia Yu was also keenly aware of a little problem, he raised his eyebrows, and asked: "Uncle, you and your cousin are working in the same factory?
"It doesn't matter to me, as long as Abin has a job. ”
Chen Liang grinned and said indifferently, he didn't let Xia Yu arrange a job for him together, he couldn't open this mouth, if it weren't for the emotional problems of his son at work, and his wife gave him a blow many times, he wouldn't have come to ask Xia Yu for help.
Xia Yu bowed his head lightly, did not say anything, but thought of more.
This favor is a gesture for him, and he must help him, but after helping, he has to think of a way to solve the problem.
Before because some relatives on his father's side annoyed Xia Yu, Xia Yu also said at home that relatives came to ask for help, don't let go for the time being.
So for so many months, although some relatives always came to test Xia Dahai and Chen Mei, but the husband and wife just didn't let go, for this reason there are still some people in the village gossiping, saying that Xia Yu's family forgot their roots when they were developed.
