Chapter Two Hundred and Four: Before Returning Home
The main controversy is that the parents decided to go home for the New Year, and Chen Shi's brothers and sisters think that grandparents are not easy to run, so they can celebrate the New Year here.
So, on this day, the whole family gets together to discuss where to spend the New Year. The first to speak was Chen Shi's mother, she said: "I asked the doctor, and everyone said that there was no problem, a few of you just don't want to go back to your hometown, so you take the condition of your grandparents as a reason, and you don't look at it, the two old people have been more energetic recently." β
Chen Shi does have such thoughts, mainly because there is nothing after returning home, and the family has long been gone, although his uncle and cousin are there, but they only regard it as a dormitory, not a home, so there is still nothing.
He said, "Mom, what are you going back for? There is nothing in my hometown, how lively is it in the city?"
The elder sister and younger siblings all agreed with Chen Shi's statement and echoed it, and several of them were outnumbered and wanted to use this to coerce their mother to compromise.
However, my mother is not a vegetarian and naturally does not give up easily, and the decisions she makes rarely change.
She said: "Won't you buy it if you don't have it? Aren't you very rich? Buy whatever you lack at home, and you have to buy New Year's gifts after the New Year. β
Parents have no friends in the city, of course they have to go home during the New Year and say in front of their friends, now if the two of them go home, talking will definitely work, whether there is a conflict or not, relatives and friends will definitely worship the two of them as idols, because they have a good son, blessed, who doesn't envy?
Just a few days ago, after the aunt and uncle came, their attitude towards them has completely changed, respectful, almost whatever their parents say, they agree to anything, and they dare not object to anything, and their prestige has unconsciously increased countless times.
Now, Chen Shi has set up a farm in his home, and he has long become a man of the year in the village, even if people don't know how many companies he has outside, and they don't know how much money he makes, but the establishment of a farm is real, no matter who can see it, and Chen Shi's family has moved to the city to live, and the relatives and friends who came back when he moved naturally spread the news of his family, so if Chen Shi goes back at this time, he will definitely be the object of envy of all young people, and it is the person who is praised by all the old people, and it is the child of other people's families in all people's mouthsγ
Chen Shidao: "Mom, if you think that no one accompanies you, just go to the New Year's greetings after the New Year, a relative's house for a few days, talk about no fun, and go to another relative's house when you are tired of living, it will take a month or two to walk around and come back, and when the time comes, how many words can be said." β
My mother said angrily: "Are you saying that I want to play with someone because I'm bored? Why are you so unconscionable? When you get rich, you forget your hometown? You don't want to go home for the New Year, you can't forget your roots, you know?"
Chen Shi had a bitter face, he only said a bad word, and immediately asked his mother to go online, so he had to lower his head and admit his mistake, then looked at his little sister and signaled her to persuade.
The little sister Chen Ying naturally understood, so she said: "Mom, it's fun in the city, I'll take you out to play during the Chinese New Year, parks, cinemas, supermarkets and shopping malls, you can go wherever you want." β
Mother smiled and said: "You go there, you know how to play every day, and you don't study hard, what's so good about these places? Make you play so much that you don't want to go back to your hometown? You have to go, you have to spend the New Year in your hometown this year, if you don't go, I'll go back with your father, we'll take your grandparents with us, leave a few of you here, see what happens to you." β
The little sister was also defeated and shook her head speechlessly. Chen Shi knew that as long as he and his little sister couldn't convince his mother, then let alone his sister and younger brother, the two of them had always been the most obedient, and whatever his mother said was basically what he said, he never objected, and even if he complained, he couldn't resist it.
Chen Shi had no choice but to agree: "Okay, go home, go home, but there is only one car, so many people can't go back at one time, what should I do?"
Mother said: "Let's go back first, charter a car, walk slowly, take your grandparents and grandmothers, let's go back and clean up the house, we have to buy what we should buy, otherwise we will go back together and have nothing to eat, it's useless to go, you take your time, how many people can you pull by car?"
Chen Shi said three, at most four, and his mother thought for a while and said, "Then leave your family of two and the rest all gone." β
In this way, most of the whole family has to leave, only Chen Shi and Li Yalian stay, of course, they have to go back during the Chinese New Year. Chen Shi agreed, he wanted to go back with Li Yalian before the New Year, and he didn't have to go to pay New Year's greetings after the New Year, and he also wanted to see how Li Yalian's younger brother was doing.
A few days later, Chen Shi chartered a business car, his parents and grandparents, as well as his sisters, brothers and sisters, a total of seven people, plus some luggage, barely done, Chen Shi drivers one after another, drive slower on the road, drive steadily, don't have an accident, you can give a little more money, the driver agreed, patted his chest and assured Chen Shi.
Before his parents left, they told him not to worry, and to come back as soon as possible after taking care of the matter, and also asked Li Yalian to take care of Chen Shi. After the parents and others left, the house was empty, only him and Li Yalian looked very uncomfortable, but it was rare for the two of them to have such a quiet environment, no one disturbed, no noise, and they could do whatever they wanted, so the two of them were unbridled and affectionate for several days.
Early this morning, the two woke up in a daze, and they didn't want to get up, Li Yalian urged Chen Shi to get up, Chen Shi promised in his mouth, his body didn't obey the call, he kept lying down, and he felt that the quilt was too comfortable, as long as he left the quilt slightly, he felt uncomfortable, so there was no need to get up.
Li Yalian said for a while, and found that Chen Shi was still lying down, but she couldn't continue to lie down, so she got up all of a sudden, of course, she didn't forget to pull the quilt away after she got up, so that Chen Shi had to get up too.
Chen Shi complained: "What are you doing when you get up early in the morning? β
Li Yalian said: "Let's go shopping, buy good things and prepare to go home, are you really going to spend the New Year here?"
Chen Shi sighed, quickly got dressed, and the two of them rubbed together, washed up and ate breakfast, and then drove to the supermarket to shop.
Now that the New Year is approaching, of course there are a lot of people shopping, especially those who want to go home, people who live nearby also have to stock up on food, and it is not easy to buy something during the New Year, although the supermarket is not closed, but it is only open for five hours.
The supermarket was crowded with people, Chen Shi pushed the car and followed Li Yalian, walking all the way, he said all the way: "Let's go back to your house, what gifts do you want to bring? What do your parents like? What do you bring to your brother?"
Li Yalian said: "I'll take a look, choose a few supplements, and buy a few sets of clothes for my parents." β
Chen Shi asked, "What about Li Jun?"
Li Yalian said: "He, I don't know what to buy for him?" Li Yalian really doesn't know what her brother likes, all along, she hasn't asked Li Jun much about it, because since Li Jun and Chen Shi bet, his grades have improved, although he is not the first in the class, but the top five is no problem, what she didn't expect is that Li Jun can actually improve his grades in order to play games online for free, which is unexpected.
Chen Shi said: "I'll buy it for him!"
Li Yalian asked Chen Shi what he bought, but Chen Shi didn't know, so he said to take a look. The two of them were in front and the other was pushing a cart behind, wandering for a long time, but they still didn't decide. After walking for a while, the two met He Chunming.
He Chunming is also shopping, and now he is also pushing a trolley around, and after seeing Chen Shi, the three of them looked at each other and laughed.
Chen Shidao: "You also shop?"
He Chunming said: "Buy some New Year's goods and go home for the New Year, why are you still there?" I thought you were going back." β
Chen Shidao: "I'll leave in a few days, when will you leave?
He Chunming said: "Okay! I was exempted from the fare, and I just took a ride." "He hasn't bought a car yet, Chen Shi has said that he has done it many times, but He Chunming just didn't buy it, he usually drives with the company's vehicle, and now he is going home to do private business, so he can't drive the company's car back.
Li Yalian said: "Brother He should also buy a car, you are a boss, you don't even have a car, how embarrassing it is to say it?"
He Chunming said with a smile: "There's no shame in not driving, it's just everyone's preference, I just don't like vehicles, I don't usually need them, so I'm too lazy to buy them." β
Chen Shidao: "I don't like it very much, I don't drive unless it is necessary, I usually let her drive." β
He Chunming looked at it and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of other people's jokes? If you have a car, you won't drive, and let girls pull you all over the street?"
Chen Shi didn't blush either, and said, "What's so funny about this? You see that there are so many female drivers on the street, and there are all female drivers who drive taxis, how can you be afraid of other people's jokes?"
He Chunming thought for a while, nodded and said, "What I said is that men and women are equal, who drives differently? But when you go home, it's a long distance, you can't let the girls drive all the way home, right?"
Chen Shi said: "No, the two of you will change the car, don't you want to join us? β
He Chunming laughed and said, "You are treating me as a coolie." β
Li Yalian said: "Brother He, I'm going to trouble you when the time comes." β
The three of them chatted, while walking, while shopping, Chen Shi finally decided to buy a computer for his brother-in-law, Li Yalian was surprised: "You buy him a computer? Will it delay his studies?" The reason why Li Jun studied to catch up was because he wanted to play games online for free, if he bought a computer for him, he didn't have to go to the Internet cafΓ©, then maybe his grades would drop.
Chen Shi said: "I don't think so, if his grades drop, he will take the computer, so that he can't play the game, or you buy him some review materials, which can be regarded as arranging winter vacation homework for him, and check it when he goes back, so that he will not be addicted to the game." β
Li Yalian said yes, so she immediately bought a lot of review materials, looking at so many books, Chen Shi's head hurt, and secretly worried about her brother-in-law, it seems that he is going to suffer this winter vacation.
After buying things, I made an appointment with He Chunming to go home, and went out with the two carts, and then moved the things into the car, and started to go home after changing the trolley, and when I returned home, Li Yalian asked him to move things, and Chen Shi said: "What are you moving?" I'm about to leave, let it be in the car, and it won't break." β
Li Yalian said: "That's right, I'll leave tomorrow, it's not a big deal to leave it for a day." β
After dinner in the evening, the two went to watch a movie, and then discussed the plot on the way back, but after coming back to sleep, Chen Shi almost forgot what movie he watched, because it was really not very good, and it was normal not to remember.
Early the next morning, they drove out of the city after eating, and after the round with He Chunming, the three of them set foot on the road to Wei County.
He Chunming really insisted on driving, but Chen Shi couldn't tell him, so he had to let him be the driver. Along the way, Chen Shi said with emotion: "I still remember that Brother He was very unconfident when he came to the interview. β
Li Yalian asked why, Chen Shi smiled and said nothing, He Chunming said: "Because I was just deceived at that time, and I had no belongings, if it wasn't for my wife to give me a taxi fare, I wouldn't have been able to come back." β
Li Yalian was surprised and asked why she was deceived, He Chunming talked about the unlucky thing at the beginning, and after speaking, Chen Shi said: "The liar hasn't been found yet, right?
He Chunming said: "What else can I say? There is no news. β
Chen Shidao: "Let's check it ourselves, I called Mouse and Zhai Feng, I don't believe that we can't find out." β
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone, but He Chunming hurriedly stopped: "If you want to check, it will be after the New Year, they are now preparing for the New Year, and after you call, the family will not be able to celebrate the New Year." β
Chen Shi said: "What Brother He said is right, I owe it to me, and I will let them check after the New Year." β
He Chunming said that he had seen it through, it didn't matter if he checked it or not, anyway, he couldn't get back the money he cheated, and it didn't mean much to him if he got it back now, so it didn't matter.
Chen Shi said: "The liar must be hit, even if it is not for Brother He's money, but you still have to take care of the face, and it is best to find out the liar." β
He Chunming said: "I am now respected by someone in and out of the supermarket, in charge of a supermarket, doesn't this have face? If you want to talk about face, my face is big enough, and I don't need to take out the previous things to talk about things." β
He Chunming said it very truthfully, without the slightest hint of prevarication, it seems that he really saw it, and he also tasted success here in Chen Shi, so he didn't care about the people who lied to him before.
