Chapter 42: Family Gatherings
Three days later, my sister-in-law's family came to Qingyu City.
Chen Nuo immediately booked the best restaurant in Qingyu City, the International Hotel, and ate at about 6:30 in the afternoon.
One is to catch the wind for my sister-in-law, and the other is to take this opportunity to gather with relatives and friends.
Chen Shoucai and Chen Jia were a little weak-hearted, it was a good thing for Chen Nuo to be admitted to university, but they were afraid that Qiu Wan would mention paying back the money during the banquet, and it would be difficult to refuse after thinking about it, so they agreed one after another.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Shoucai and his wife Li Chunlan went out together, Chen Shoucai opened the door of the van, and after Li Chunlan got in the car and sat down, Chen Shoucai asked: "What about Qiangzi, why haven't you seen anyone for a day?"
Li Chunlan said: "My son and a few classmates started a transportation company, and I heard that he also became a manager, and he was very busy all day. He just called me and said he would drive over later. ”
Chen Shoucai nodded, "Qiangzi has been at home for a few years, and he is finally a little self-motivated. By the way, do you think this Qiu Wan will take this opportunity to ask us for the arrears?"
Li Chunlan said: "Let's just eat, and ignore everything else." ”
After speaking, Li Chunlan remembered something and said: "When Qiangzi was admitted to university, Qiu Wan gave a gift of 2,000. Now that Chen Nuo is admitted to university, I am a little reluctant to give 2,000, I mean give 500, Qiu Wan's family is just the two of them, Qiu Wan also earns a lot of money a year, which is like our family, Qiangzi opened a company, and you run a vegetable greenhouse, which costs money. ”
Chen Shoucai started the van, "Give 500, it's a lot." ”
Then, with a foot on the accelerator, the car went out of its own yard.
Qiu Wan got off work half an hour early, went home and changed out of work clothes and changed into a more casual set of clothes.
Seeing Chen Nuo wearing big pants, he was about to go out with slippers.
Busy was stopped by Qiu Wan: "Xiaonuo, you are too casual, change your jeans." ”
Chen Nuo didn't want his mother to be embarrassed, so he obediently changed into jeans and sneakers.
Li Dapeng drove Chen Nuo and his wife to the hotel, and it was not yet 6 o'clock at this time.
Chen Nuo said: "Brother Li, you can come and pick me up and my mother at half past eight." ”
I had only booked a private room before, and the dishes had not been ordered, so Chen Nuolai came into the lobby and ordered the dishes by the way, basically picking up the most expensive points and choosing the best wine.
Although Qiu Wan doesn't know how to drink, the company often has some socialization and knows the price of wine.
The two bottles of red wine alone cost more than 10,000.
Qiu Wan had the heart to say a few words, remembering that today was a big family celebrating her son's admission to college, and she was happy.
If her son doesn't have enough money, she will settle the bill in a while.
At 6:20, the cold dishes were served, and the red wine was poured into glassware to decant it.
A large round table is large enough to seat 20 people.
Chen Nuo also did it deliberately, he didn't have anything to say when he sat too close, he stayed away, ate his own food, and left after eating.
My sister-in-law's family was the first to arrive, and my sister-in-law's father, Wang Jian, did not come this time and stayed in Liuzhou to take care of the clothing business.
Also coming with Wang Ziwei and grandma were also there.
Wang Ziwei is currently in her first year of high school, because her sister-in-law's family lives in other places all the year round, so Chen Nuo can see her cousin during the Chinese New Year.
Compared with his cousin Chen Qiang, Chen Nuo has a good relationship with his cousin.
I haven't seen her for a year, but Wang Ziwei has grown a lot taller, and when it comes to his shoulders, she is much more beautiful.
After grandma came in, she took Chen Nuo's hand and patted it gently, "I think among the three juniors, Xiaonuo is the most promising." ”
"Grandma, why did you forget me?" Wang Ziwei stepped forward and took her grandmother's hand and shook it gently.
"The second brother was only admitted to Qingyu Normal this time, and after 2 years, I must be better than my brother's school. ”
Among the three juniors, Chen Nuo is the second, and he has been called by Wang Ziwei's second brother and second brother all these years.
"Little sister, don't look down on Qingyu Teacher, your brother and I are admitted to the English Department of Qingyu Normal. ”
"English Department!" Wang Ziwei muttered.
She is also in high school, and she also knows about some universities and majors.
Although I don't know much, there are several people in the class who are determined to be admitted to Qingyu Normal English.
"Second brother, how much did you take the English test this time?"
"Full marks. ”
Wang Ziwei gave a thumbs up, "It's still my second brother, and my little sister is convinced." ”
Chen Nuo helped his grandmother to sit down on the main seat, and listened to the sister-in-law say: "Ziwei, your English is poor, let your brother tutor you well this summer." ”
"Xiaonuo, sister-in-law's request, you won't refuse to agree. Chen Jia looked at Chen Nuodao.
"Ziwei is my sister, how could I not agree. ”
"Mom, I want to have fun this summer. In addition, my brother went to college in this city, so he will have a lot of time in the future. Wang Ziwei pursed her lips.
Then he pulled Chen Nuo and said with a smile: "Brother, after this summer vacation, I will come to Qingyu City to study, and you will have to take care of me more in the future." ”
"Okay, how do you remember to study in Qingyu City. Chen Nuoqi said.
"Hey, my mom is to blame for this. The year before last, I transferred my household registration to my grandmother's side, and I didn't go back to Qingyu City to study, so I won't be able to take the college entrance examination in the future. Wang Ziwei said with some dissatisfaction.
Chen Nuo remembered that his grandmother lived in a self-built house with property rights and land use certificates, and he had heard his mother talk about moving a few years earlier.
But there has been no movement in the past two years, and my sister-in-law wants to divide the demolition money with this.
My sister-in-law's abacus is really fine.
Qiu Wan didn't show much surprise, that large area of self-built houses is an area valued by Lin's real estate, and originally wanted to build a commercial area, but because many householders built illegally and the asking price was too high, it has not been able to negotiate.
In recent years, the company has shifted its focus to the development of residential real estate.
Chen Nuo looked at his cousin, the two of them have grown so big, in fact, there are not many opportunities to meet, and he can't stand his cousin's lively and cheerful, even if he is dissatisfied with the various actions of his sister-in-law's family, he will not blame his cousin.
"Second brother, where are you going to take me to play?"
Chen Nuo deliberately teased Wang Ziwei and said, "You are not only my brother, why don't you go to your eldest brother Chen Qiang?"
Wang Ziwei pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Big brother, he can't even get into a university, and he doesn't do his job all day long, I don't like him." ”
Chen Nuo smiled: "At a young age, such a snobbish, I can pay it back when I grow up." ”
"I'm not a force, it's really a big brother who doesn't have a reason for me to like it. Wang Ziwei said, remembering something, "I heard grandma say that you recently opened a company, why don't you take me to your company tomorrow." ”
Chen Nuo looked helpless, how could his cousin think of a play.
In the future, when I come to Qingyu City to study, I am afraid that it will be troublesome.
But he's just this one sister.
Chen Nuo thought for a while and said to Wang Ziwei: "The company currently has only one front desk, you come to the front desk, the second brother will pay you a salary, only work half a day a day, how about you arrange the rest of the time?"
