"Chensheng, is this our new home?" Zhao's mother came to the community, began to be nervous, this is the most upscale local community, I have only heard of it before, I have not been here, under the leadership of Manager Li, after walking into my own house, I stroked the furniture that is worth a lot of money at a glance, and I obviously felt unbelievable.

Manager Li has been in business all the year round and is smart, and he just judged that the conditions of their family were not good before he judged the community where Zhao Chensheng's family lived, which further showed that Zhao Chensheng's ability was strong, his mother was a typical housewife at a glance, and knew how to do what she liked, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhao, of course this is your home." If you come to the kitchen and take a look, I am sure you will be satisfied. ”

Mother Zhao was very unfamiliar with the title of "Mrs. Zhao", and was stunned for a few seconds before she knew that it was herself, blushing, and followed the enthusiastic Manager Li to the kitchen.

After shopping in the kitchen, Manager Li took Zhao's mother upstairs and downstairs to look around, and Chairman Jin learned that Zhao Chensheng finally bought the house here, and specially explained that Manager Li had to take care of all aspects in place, so Manager Li was more attentive, and his judgment of him was raised to a new level.

When it was close to noon, Zhao Chensheng said: "Manager Li, it's noon soon, let's have a meal together, I just happen to have a few bottles of good wine here." ”

Manager Li is an informed person, and said with a smile: "It's about to be a holiday, take advantage of the noon dinner with the staff, next time." ”

"How much does it cost to have this furniture? I'll pass it on to you now." ”

"No, no, no," Manager Li waved his hand again and again, and said, "The boss has an explanation, if you don't want me to lose my job, don't mention this matter again." Goodbye、、、"

Without Zhao Chensheng's plan to refuse, Manager Li turned around and left. Zhao Chensheng glanced at the room, whether it was a sofa or a curtain, it was worth a lot of money, and he thought to himself that Chairman Jin, who had never met before, was really cheap.

"Chensheng, isn't this okay? People have already given us so much cheaper, and we have given furniture to them, so let's give the money to others." Father Zhao said worriedly.

"Dad, I know, you can rest assured. ”

According to local customs, after moving to a new house, it is necessary to not only post couplets on a suitable day, but also kill a big white rooster in the house, sprinkle some cinnabar and other things in the right place in the house, in short, there is a lot of exquisiteness.

Dad Zhao glanced at the lunar calendar date on his phone and said to his wife: "Today is a good day, but we have to hurry up and prepare." ”

The final division of labor is that Zhao's mother goes to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and big roosters, Zhao's father goes to buy couplets and candlesticks and other sacrificial things, and as for Zhao Chensheng, he is responsible for buying some daily necessities and cleaning in the shopping mall outside the community.

Although it was already noon, neither of his parents mentioned eating, so Zhao Chensheng was embarrassed to say anything. After my parents left, I walked around the house and found that there was no shortage of anything, the kitchen utensils and everything were ready, and I only needed to buy some dishes, chopsticks, towels and other things. It can be seen that Manager Li has asked people to clean the house, which saves him a lot of tasks.

Zhao Chensheng went shopping in the mall, bought some necessities in the washing area, and chose a few good styles of dishes and chopsticks, and went back to the new house directly.

The floor height of the new house is good, the central air conditioning has been installed before, and it doesn't take long to turn on for a while, and the temperature in the living room goes up. Sitting on the sofa, taking out the ashtray he had just bought, Zhao Chensheng lit a cigarette.

At four or five o'clock, my parents came back one after another. Zhao Chensheng posted the couplet at the gate, and during this time, he met a few neighbors and greeted him politely.

After a set of cumbersome procedures, Zhao's mother walked into the kitchen and began to pick up the dinner that night, and Zhao Chensheng accompanied his father to chat in the living room.

"It stands to reason that when you go back, you should invite some relatives to have a meal at home, which can be regarded as a recognition of the door, but you also know the situation of our family, beating your grandfather's generation will be a single line, and your mother's 、、、 should forget it. ”

Zhao Chensheng asked: "Dad, in the previous society, whether rich or not, there were more children, why are there so few of our families?

Speaking of this, Zhao's father thought for a while and said, "It's really not, but I can't say that, I don't know the specific situation, I can only tell you a rough idea." ”

In fact, Zhao Chensheng's ancestor is not a local, and it is not clear where Zhao's father is from, but what surprised Zhao Chensheng was that his grandfather had lived in S City for many years. At that time, it was the early days of the Republic of China, and my grandfather was abandoned for unknown reasons, and then he was adopted by a Taoist priest who traveled all over the world, and later the Taoist priest returned to a Taoist temple in S City, followed the Taoist master, and became an adult in the Taoist temple.

Grandpa left the Taoist temple when he grew up in the Taoist temple until he became an adult, and his later experience is not clear, only that he found another daughter-in-law in the south, and a few years before the Dongying devil ran away, the woman was Zhao Chensheng's grandmother who was pregnant with his grandfather, but his grandfather didn't know where he went. Because of the war, my grandmother began to wander around in order to avoid the scourge of war, and I wanted to go to the road in S City to see if I could find my grandfather, but I ended up staying in the current place.

"Dad, why haven't I heard you say this before?"

Dad Zhao took a puff of cigarette and said: "You haven't asked, besides, I don't know much, I heard your grandfather say when I was a child, he was taken by your grandmother to S City to look for it when he was ten years old, but he didn't find any useful information, and then he broke this thought." You don't remember your grandmother, in fact, she hugged you, when you were born, she looked at the birthmark of the galloping horse near the collarbone on your left shoulder and was very surprised, saying that it was exactly the same as your grandfather's body, or the same position, and I don't know if it was true or fake. Within a few years, your grandmother and your grandfather passed away. ”

"Where's my grandma?"

"I passed away when I was young、、、 so my family really had a bad fate. ”

What Zhao's father said today, Zhao Chensheng didn't know it in the previous life, and after listening to it, he inevitably sighed for a while, and suddenly asked: "Dad, I just asked if there are any relatives who don't have five suits, you said no, and later said that you can't say that, what does this mean?"

Father Zhao lined up his brain and said, "Look at my brain." Your grandfather's master later took in another apprentice, and the difference between your grandfather and your grandfather must have been fifteen or sixteen years old, and I heard your grandmother tell me that when they were in the south, that junior brother also went to live with them for a few years, and then disappeared. Counting it, your grandfather's junior brother is considered to be a person related to our family, and if he lives a long life, he should be almost a hundred years old by now. ”

"It seems that every family is a piece of history, but unfortunately, most of it has been submerged. ”

"If it is history, it is also a history of blood and tears, and it was not easy to live as a person in those years. ”

Mother Zhao walked towards the restaurant with two plates, and said with a smile: "What are you two talking about, come and help serve the food、、、 this house is really big, and there is a special restaurant." ”

Zhao Chensheng hurriedly walked into the kitchen, but he didn't expect that when he was chatting just now, his mother had made so many dishes, and hurriedly served them outside.

"Come, my wife will have a drink today, a happy day. ”

The family of three touched a glass beautifully, Zhao Chensheng was very happy in his heart, this life finally let his parents live a good life.

Zhao's mother was full for a long time, and chose two rooms to start making beds, the size of the bedding and bed brought by her home was not suitable, and it obviously did not match these high-end furniture, so she had to accept Zhao Chensheng's suggestion and go back to buy a few more bedding.

Zhao Chensheng and his father drank for a while, and then went back to rest.

When undressing, Zhao Chensheng looked down at the birthmark of the galloping horse on his left collarbone, which became bigger and bigger with age, and it was not completely determined until he became an adult. When I was in high school, my roommates in the dormitory were amazed by this birthmark, and it looked like a person running wildly, which was very charming. Because of this, Zhao Chensheng's vanity was greatly satisfied.

However, if grandma said that this birthmark was exactly the same as grandpa, Zhao Chensheng didn't believe it, how could there be such a coincidence in the world.

After Zhao Chensheng got up the next morning, he saw his mother measuring the size of the mattress on the sofa and asked, "Mom, where is my dad?"

Zhao's mother said without a head: "His quick temper went to the factory early in the morning, saying that he had convened a meeting of several backbones, and the food was on the table, so you should eat it quickly." ”

The factory produces cement and is located at the foot of a hill in a town, and it takes more than two hours to take a taxi to get around, and then you have to get your father to get a driver's license, otherwise he will definitely live in the factory every day.

Eating breakfast, Zhao's mother said in the living room: "Chensheng, you finally have a holiday, you also go to play with your classmates." ”

Zhao Chensheng smiled bitterly in his heart, when he was in school, he neither belonged to those who studied well, nor did he belong to those who had special skills, plus he was introverted, so he didn't have close friends, and it wasn't until he met them in college that he really made friends.

"Mom, it's finally a holiday, and I want to spend more time with you at home, so I won't go out to find someone to play. ”

Zhao's mother came to the restaurant and said with a smile: "That's okay, you can accompany me to the mall today, you have to buy some bedding, except for our two bedrooms, the other bedrooms, I want to prepare too, in case you bring a friend back in the future, you can't let people go out to live." ”

Zhao Chensheng never thought that shopping with his mother would be so tiring, not only to shop around, but also as long as it was something he liked, as long as the price was expensive, he would immediately give up and continue shopping, if it wasn't for Zhao Chensheng's insistence, it is estimated that he would not be able to buy anything in the morning.

After putting the big bags and small bags into the trunk of the car, Zhao Chensheng asked, "Mom, have you bought all the things?"

Zhao's mother said: "I have bought all the big things, but there are still some bits and pieces that I haven't bought, you men don't know, many small things are necessary to live at home, for example, 、、、"

"Mom, it's not early, let's hurry up. ”

It wasn't until more than two o'clock in the afternoon that the things were all purchased, and the two had a simple meal in the restaurant of the mall, and Zhao Chensheng drove his mother back to the community. Manager Li later called Zhao Chensheng to tell him that there was a garage that was bought for the house, and Zhao Chensheng knew in his heart that this was impossible, and the other party was trying to make himself accept the excuse he was looking for, and he couldn't refuse the other party's kindness, so he could only think about returning this favor in the future.

After putting the things down, Zhao Chensheng took out an envelope, which contained the cash he had just obtained from a nearby bank while his mother was shopping. He walked up to his mother and said, "Mom, it's 30,000 yuan, you can keep it at home." ”
