When I got home, I heard a fight inside before I even entered the house.

Chen Qian's good mood was instantly extinguished, and she sighed and said, "Here we go again!"

"I can't see it, I can't hear it, just take a shower and go to sleep...... Chen Wenjin smiled and took the key to open the door, and then went to the door first.

"When you have a holiday, you know how to run out to have fun, and if you win the lottery and have a little money, you will take your sister out to hang out! With your father, you don't know how to cherish money, and you can lose all the money...... "Chen's mother turned on the tigress mode, and Chen Wenjin said calmly: "Go to the playground, of course, it's cost-effective to play for a long time." In the evening, Chen Qian said that she wanted to buy you a gift for the New Year, but she didn't see a suitable one after shopping, what do you want?"

The imposing Mother Chen was suddenly dumb and seemed speechless, and Chen's father's tense black face bloomed a little, but he still reproached and said: "No need to buy, what gift do we want you to buy......?"

"Ouch, a heart. By the way, let's go for tea on Saturday, I haven't been there for a long time. Chen Wenjin couldn't mention this just now, Chen's mother likes to drink tea and eat snacks very much, but when she is angry, she is scolded for saying anything, but she has always felt sorry for Chen Qian because of Chen's father's preference for sons, I heard that Chen Qian is so filial and angry that she can't send it out, calm down and then propose to drink tea, Chen's mother really said: "If you want to eat, you can eat, you can't keep the money, it's better to eat yourself than to waste money outside." Hey-don't talk about it, let the two babies take a shower and go to bed quickly, what time is it......?

"I'm nagging? I said that you all listened and did what I said, will I still nag? Just because you are disobedient, I will nag......" Lord Chen continued to repeat his previous words, his logic was relatively pure, so there were no tricks.

Chen's mother's eyes sank, urging Chen Qian to take a bath and sleep first, and she herself was irritable because of listening to Lord Chen's verbosity, so she continued to spray.

Chen Qian quickly took her pajamas and went to take a shower, and while closing the bathroom door, she avoided the noise. As for buying gifts for the New Year, she didn't think about it, but she was willing to have money in her hand. Thinking about the parents in the end, although they love to quarrel, let's be verbose, and occasionally hit people when the mood is bad...... But it's not impertinent, and most of the time it's nothing, it's just that she is bored with the atmosphere at home, and it's not that she hates them, so she really thinks about what to buy them......

However, Chen Qian felt that Chen Wenjin was strange, and his performance tonight was not like his style.

Chen Wenjin wanted to try to adjust the atmosphere of the family, he couldn't solve the fundamental problem, it was between parents, and they had long fallen into a dead loop, only the baptism of time could make them figure it out and adjust themselves.

Because, one thinks that he is always right, and no one persuades him to understand the situation, and the other has a burst personality and is only willing to suffer the losses of his grandson and grandson, and his son and daughter are not good.

But Chen Wenjin knows that the use of techniques, that is, the means of skill, can reduce some disputes, at least alleviate the atmosphere of the family.

As for the family going out to eat, it has always been a special time when they can sit together and talk without quarreling, and they can also have a harmonious atmosphere and chat.

Lord Chen loves face, and unless he drinks too much, he is reluctant to quarrel outside, feeling that it is too unseemly.

Chen's father relented, and only talked about food, eating and drinking, work matters, gossip of relatives and friends, etc., Chen's mother would not start the war lightly, and was willing to talk about these.

The tea maker will come in a while, because Chen Wen has drunk a lot today.

Chen's mother said: "Next time I order cheaper tea, I see that we have spent the money and we feel uncomfortable." ”

"What's this? It's not bad for that money now. Come out to eat, just eat, don't pull the money, the money, it's a shame. Master Chen immediately cut off the conversation, he was often outside, and he was used to enjoying various services, and he didn't feel uneasy like Chen's mother.

"I think so, that beautiful big sister's job is to make tea, I think she works hard and should support her work and increase her income, everyone doesn't need her skills, doesn't she have to change careers?" Chen Wenjin knew that his mother remembered several nieces who worked in the service industry in Peng City, and he felt tired of others, but he forgot that there was an extra commission for this job.

"Hey, it's not easy to make some money, and it's even harder for them to come out to work and earn money for their families. Chen's mother felt that this was the truth, but she felt even more sad, and finally said: "You have to study hard, do you see how easy it is to sit in the office......?"

Chen's mother's diploma worship lasted for many years, no doubt from her experience during her work, she was busy every day, compared with the state in the office, I felt that there was such a big difference between heaven and earth, and it was because of the university diploma that made those.

When Chen's mother mentions the word college student, more than 20 years later, her eyes will still shine reflexively, which symbolizes the unattainable culture, but for a higher diploma, Chen's mother just said, 'So powerful!', and it passed, probably because all she saw during her work was caused by college diplomas.

Diplomas are also limited by the concept of scarcity, and Chen's mother does not understand it in the future, let alone now.

Chen Wenjin didn't say anything useless, just nodded and said okay.

However, I don't know if it was a perfunctory attitude, or because of her son Mo Ruomu, Chen's mother actually said: "Hmph! You just agreed, now that you can make money, you wish you didn't study sooner!"

‘...... Mother is still mother! There is no such section in my memory, my mother is judging according to the change of the situation, and it really says what I think...... Chen Wenjin hurriedly said: "The windfall is temporary, unless you can get a lot, otherwise how dare you not study!"

Mother Chen didn't say anything, but there was disbelief in her eyes.

Chen's father said disapprovingly: "If you really want to have that life, what does it matter if you read or not? Now this society is becoming more and more on par with money! In the past, things in the company were not so excessive, but now? Don't even think about being promoted without giving gifts, and want to be a director? With my advanced old qualifications every year, there is no shortage of favors, and people tell me that when the time comes, I still have to prepare 30,000 yuan, and if I give it, it will be mine, otherwise it will be someone else's! You say that this society is already like this, and it will be okay in the future? Sooner or later, I will become poor and not laugh at prostitutes!"

"Give it when you should give it, and take the money now. Chen Wenjin remembers that this is the regret of his father's work all his life.

At that time, on the one hand, Lord Chen wanted to stick to the past standards of life, and on the other hand, he also felt sorry for this huge amount of money at that time, and Chen's mother was reluctant to take this money, so she gave up. Of course, they would not have thought that the difference in treatment at this level would only take a year to earn back in the future, not to mention the gap between the head of the branch and the head of the department, as well as the gap in pension.

"Now that I can get this money, the more I think about it, the more angry I feel! Everyone has survived a hard life, why do they all become unconscionable and fair, and only have money in their eyes? If I give this money, will it become the same as them?" Lord Chen was clearly very entangled, just like he did back then, but that time, Chen Wenjin and Chen Qian later learned that they did not participate in the ongoing process.

Now, undoubtedly because of Chen Wenjin's continuous lottery winnings, Chen felt that his son should know and have the right to express his opinion on this expenditure.

"Since you are very contradictory, it means that you want to be the director, which should have been yours, and you paid just so that others would not buy your position with money. I think Dad can think like that, if you become a director, won't the people under your jurisdiction be treated fairly? Instead of expecting others to be conscientious and uphold fairness after becoming a director, you should administer justice yourself. When Chen Wenjin said this, he saw Lord Chen's eyes light up.

"This makes sense!" Lord Chen was obviously moved.

Chen's mother seemed to be very unsupportive of this matter, and said: "I have 30,000 yuan to build two houses in my hometown, otherwise I can buy a house here and save more, didn't you say that you want to consider the baby growing up and getting married?"

"Why does he need us to worry about this now?" Lord Chen's mind really changed, he firmly believed that Chen Wen had that life today, and the gods would continue to bless him to win more lotteries.

Chen's mother stopped talking, and when Chen's father went to the bathroom, Chen's mother suddenly said to Chen Wenjin: "Don't advocate that your father buy the director! Do you think I don't know that he is the director? But you have to think about it, your father's virtue, when he becomes the director, his tail has to be lifted to the sky, and I don't know how many women will seduce him in the future! If he becomes the director, I am afraid that our family will be scattered by then." I said don't believe it, your dad is a petty official, I'm a little angry, our family doesn't have a big problem, and it will be good if you are big in the future. Your dad is getting more and more money now, and he's a director again—"

Chen's mother didn't say any more, because she saw Chen's father coming over.

"No wonder my mother has never made any accusations or complaints about my father's work, and no matter how loud the quarrel is, she has never talked about this matter...... Chen Wenjin realized that maybe his mother was not entirely worried about money back then. For his mother, it is good for Chen to rise in his career, but if he has to bear the huge risk of family separation, he would rather not be promoted.

'Hey, no wonder it's said that everything is prosperous. If the two of them are in harmony, the mother will not deliberately drag her feet because of her worries at this juncture...... 'Chen Wenjin feels that the heavy work of this trip is really rewarding, many things are out of the background of the times and environmental factors at that time, even if the parties go back and repeat it, they will intentionally or unintentionally process or even conceal their true intentions, and it will be more difficult for others to understand the real situation.

In the next 20 years or so, Chen's father mentioned this matter several times, and complained that Chen's mother was opposed at that time.

But Chen's mother never fought back, and always calmly endured Lord Chen's complaints and downfalls.

Chen Wen only now understands that the truth turned out to be like this......

After Chen's father sat down, he said with a smile: "I just called and said that I will ask them to have dinner in a few days and give them the money." ”

This is Lord Chen's style, when he hesitates, he will discuss with Chen's mother, when he doesn't hesitate, he will decide and implement it.

Mother Chen didn't speak, obviously knowing that there was money now, and Master Chen had made a decision, which was irreversible, but she was obviously not in a good mood, so she said: "Buying a big brother is a big waste of money, and the phone bill of one minute is still to send money to others, and it will make you happy!"

"Dad bought Big Brother, is it a big one?" Chen Qian was very surprised, Father Chen took it out, the 166 with a black body was much lighter than the brick-like Big Brother.

"I was going to buy it, but I thought I couldn't be ruthless if I didn't have the money, but now that I have enough money, of course I want to buy it. You don't know, there are two people in the company who bought Big Brother, and they are proud of what they are like every day, and everyone at a table is talking about Big Brother when they have a meal, and if I don't buy it, I will have to be compared. Lord Chen's eyes casually looked around, catching someone looking at the eldest brother in Chen Qian's hands, and his vanity was extremely satisfied.

Lord Chen's demeanor and reaction, Chen Wenjin looked at it and felt too familiar, that's right, this was his father back then.

It is precisely because he treats his father as a negative teaching material in many things that he himself becomes a pragmatist like his mother, and at a young age he becomes a man with little vanity, who only cares about what he wants and wants, and does not do what he does for the label that the social environment needs.

Obviously, too pure pragmatists are necessarily out of touch with the masses.

The flip side of vanity is the constant compulsion to pursue labels that conform to popular identity.

Chen Wen looked at his father at this moment, and it was clear that this was the case.

Chen Zhu is a gregarious, very active work, positive performance person, in the future, he will always urge his grandson to be active in all aspects, will say: 'A person who does not actively perform means that he does not get attention, and if he does not get attention, he will have no chance to express himself, and he will fall behind more and more, and he will regress more and more. ’

Mr. Chen is an advanced individual every year, and the departments he leads often win collective awards.

Chen Wenjin does not deny his ability at work.

However, Chen Wenjin has recognized many of Chen's mother's ideas since he was a child.

Because, if there is a template of the only truth in life, then human beings are all the same people for a long time, and there will be no complexity of thousands of people and thousands of faces.

Master Chen's work ability is excellent, but what is the level of being a husband and a father...... Basically, the role of a leader is placed at home, and the contrast is so big.

"Big brother is 5,000 yuan, and you can build half a house when you go back to your hometown, and you don't do business, you are poor. Chen's mother obviously didn't support it, and Master Chen must have cut it first and then played, so she heard him say: "How can this be called swinging? We are not bad now, and I am not unworthy of this thing." ”

"If you don't do business, the company's affairs are worth spending a dollar a minute on the phone bill?

"Hey—if you only have money in your eyes, you will be an iron rooster! What else do you know? People want face, trees want bark! If you don't want face in the world, what's the point of guarding money? If you can afford to buy a big brother now, you have face, do you understand?" Lord Chen resolutely defended his worldview, and indeed, he has not changed.

At this time, the dim sum was delivered, Chen Wenjin hurriedly said to eat, and Chen's mother was unwilling to lead the war, so her attention was also on the refreshments.

Chen's mother is characterized by eating her favorite food, and her mood will be very happy.

Chen Wenjin felt that he and Chen Qian had always liked to go out to eat together as a family, was it because their family was the most harmonious at this time in his memory? Over time, an experience chain was formed, and when the family went out to eat together, they would naturally be in a happy mood.

Looking at his parents, who were still young at the moment, Chen Wenjin thought about what they would look like more than 20 years later, and felt embarrassed......

Time is fair and unforgiving for life.

Chen Wenjin only remembered that there seemed to be lightweight mobile phones for sale in this era, and his father also bought them very early, but he remembered that the price was quickly reduced to one or two thousand.

"It's good that the era of mobile communication is coming! Mobile phones don't need real-name system in this era, and Xingtong's mobile phone card should be available at newsstands soon...... 'Chen Wenjin is already tired of using pagers, carrying phone cards with him, squatting in phone booths, or spending money on landlines in small stores, all of which are inconvenient.

After drinking morning tea, Ah Bao waited outside the hotel.

"Let's go, let's buy a mobile phone. Chen Wenjin felt that it had to be done as soon as possible, and Ah Bao asked in confusion: "Mobile phone?"

"It's a small and lightweight big brother!" Chen Wenjin remembered that there didn't seem to be a mobile phone in this era, and Ah Bao was stunned and said, "I heard that there are tens of thousands, are you willing to do it?"

"It's not that kind of big brick, now it's lightweight, it's so big-" Chen Wenjin compared the size of his father's one, Ah Bao was very surprised, he hadn't heard of it, and asked, "How much?"

"It seems to be more than five thousand, let's go and see. Chen Wen bought the first mobile phone when he was 2,000 years old, and he is not sure about the mobile phone market in this era.

Unexpectedly, they went to find out that there was one at this time, but the price was generally high, and those like Chen's father, whose income exceeded the minimum income by more than 20 times, also had to be ruthless, and naturally there was not much market.

I only found out after shopping that there are actually more than 3,000, as well as a large number of second-hand mobile phones, as for the one that Master Chen bought, it is more than 5,000 at all, which is clearly to Chen's mother.

Chen Wenjin doesn't see a favorite style, and the model he loves in his memory has not yet been listed.

Ah Leopard's heart was itchy when he saw it, so he begged and discussed: "Gold, can you lend me money to buy one?" ”

"I'll give you one. Chen Wenjin thought it was funny, it was the same thing at all, so he might as well settle for personal favors.

"I know you're righteous enough!" Ah Leopard was not polite at all, no doubt he also felt that the money obtained from the lottery was too easy, and he did not feel distressed at all when he spent it.

Chen Wenjin also knew that Ah Bao had never stretched out his hand to him in his memory, and now of course it was because of the lottery, he didn't plan to miss Ah Leopard's one when he came, and he was also going to buy one for Chen Qian, his mother, and Huidu, but he couldn't let Ah Bao feel that the money was spent for granted, so he said: "What about giving you this mobile phone, it is the compensation for the fact that Sister Zaihuo implicated you by them, and this matter will be cleared, and you don't have to mention it in the future, okay?"

"It's worth the beating! Why don't I find Sister Huo to beat me up again?" Ah Bao was very happy that Chen Wenjin still remembered that incident, and he also felt that he understood the reason why he was so generous.

"That's no compensation! I don't spend the same amount of money as you, and I don't know how many times the aliens can help me, but I don't dare to use it as paper. Chen Wenjin expressed his attitude, because he can be generous, but he can't be generous with an indifferent attitude. If he cherishes money, Ah Bao will naturally respect his money, he doesn't take it seriously, and Ah Bao will spend it even more inappropriately.

"That's right......" Ah Bao couldn't help but worry, in case the aliens left soon, Chen Wen would be poor again after spending the money, and he would have no chance to win the lottery.

Ah Bao was thinking to himself, and suddenly saw a white face in the market, and hurriedly called Chen Wenjin and said, "The master and white face I saw in the seaside village last time!"

Chen Wenjin hurriedly looked up and saw that it was indeed a white face!

There is a woman next to Bai Face, only part of the side face is seen, and her skin is as white as Bai Face.

"This woman can't be an alien too, right?" Chen Wenjin was guessing this, when he suddenly felt something flying out of the woman's body, that kind of thing, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
