The town where the Chen family is located is in the southwestern border of Henan Province, close to the northwest of Hubei Province, at the junction of the two provinces, and time here seems to be imprisoned.

In the past year, real estate has been established as a new pillar industry of the national economy, and the real estate market has kicked off.

Zhongguancun is being demolished vigorously, and Dengzhou is no exception, even the earthen city wall has been dug up, but walking in the town, Chen Qiaoshan can not feel much change, and the only difference from before may be that a new Internet café has opened next to the old food station, and the tide of the Internet seems to be unstoppable.

Chen Qiaoshan remembers very well that it used to be a tailor shop, the master was surnamed Tian, his leg was disabled, but the tailor's skills were very outstanding, and the people in the town called him Master Tian, but no one mentioned his real name.

Even in the 90s, those in the poor and remote areas, unless they engaged in a side business outside, could live a little more comfortably, and the rest were just past the food and clothing line.

Like the Chen family, there are too many children, and it is a lot of trouble to get together the tuition fees, let alone buy new clothes.

Chen Qiaoshan vaguely remembers that in the past New Year, if he could tear a few feet of cloth in Master Tian's shop and make a new dress, he would have a very happy year, of course, such a good thing may not happen once in three or two years, most of the time, he is picking up a few cousins' old clothes.

The Chen family used to have a poor life, and they came first with the third child during the New Year's holidays, because of the three girls in the family, Chen Xi could still wear Chen Wan when she wore it, and finally the fifth hand.

Thinking of the past of the Chen family, Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help laughing, according to the analysis of economic principles, but the intrinsic value of the goods has been multiplied by the clothes worn by Chen Xi.

Entering the town, the wheels of the suitcase finally came into play, Xiao Wu finally didn't have to pull hard, it was much lighter, and when she looked back and saw Chen Qiaoshan's appearance, she asked, "Second brother, what are you laughing at?"

The times are developing, the tailor shop has been eliminated, and the Chen family no longer has to worry about a few clothes, but they don't know where the future of the town is.

Chen Qiaoshan gestured to the newly opened Internet café not far away and said: "Do you remember that, it used to be a tailor shop, one year for the Chinese New Year, you were clamoring for new clothes, but our mother didn't agree, but you cried all day, do you still have an impression?"

"What's the matter, you're talking nonsense!" When he heard the troubles he had when he was a child, whether he remembered it or not, Xiao Wu would definitely not admit it.

"Second brother, do you remember, one year my mother bought you a new gown, but before the first water was wet, you tore a big hole in your pocket, and I still remember my mother took a yellow wattle and whipped you. ”

Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "You are embarrassed to say that you were still clapping on the side at that time, and you had no conscience at all." ”

The little five teeth are sharp, and the brother and sister are talking together, but they are also fighting equally.

When he arrived at the hardware store, Chen Weiguo was really here.

Chen Weiguo was very happy to see his son come back, but he just looked up and down twice, and asked simply, "Are you back?"

"It's back. Chen Qiaoshan nodded.

The father and son are somewhat similar in both face and body shape, but Chen Weiguo has had a hard time over the years, his skin is rough and dark, although he is over fifty years old, he is not much old, and his figure is a little stronger than Chen Qiaoshan, which is the trace left by heavy physical labor all year round.

The shopkeeper in a labor protection suit walked out of the back warehouse with a tray of cables, and when he saw Chen Qiaoshan, he felt that his eyes were raw, and he couldn't help but look at it twice, "Old Chen, this is your kid, right?"

Chen Weiguo was proud in his heart, and his voice unconsciously rose a little higher, and said: "My second boy has just come back from school. ”

The middle-aged man was surprised for a while, he threw the cable on the counter, and stared at Chen Qiaoshan up and down again, "Good ability, being able to be admitted to Peking University from our small place, it's amazing, Lao Chen, I really envy you, not to mention having children and daughters, and they are all so promising......"

The affairs of the Chen family in Qianwangcun are not a secret in the town at all.

In the early years, the daughter-in-law of the old man of the Chen family was admitted to Tsinghua University, which caused a sensation, not only the township, but also the cadres in the county came down to report the good news.

Many people only said that Chen Weiguo had a good life, but within two years, there was a big news that his wife was separated, and he was divorced in those years, especially when he was dumped by a woman, Chen Weiguo also became a laughing stock in ten miles and eight towns.

More than 20 years have passed, things are not people, and the old things of the past have disappeared, and gradually no one mentions them anymore.

Who would have thought that Chen Weiguo, who married a wife and had children, once again became the object of envy of everyone.

Who let the family plant well, and his son actually came back after taking the provincial championship, and earned back the face he had lost in the early years for his own son.

Look at the little girl standing between father and son, like a flower and bone, how to look at it and how pleasing to the eye, this family is obviously blessed.

The shopkeeper was very convinced, and the number of people's lives was really uncertain.

He couldn't help but regret a little, as soon as his son graduated from junior high school, he ran out to work early, and he would only come back to take over this stall business in the future.

……

When she got home, Chen's mother was also full of joy.

"How long has this been on vacation, I'm out in the wild every day, and I know how to come back!" she complained, pinched her son's arm again, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "It's still so thin, why doesn't it grow meat?"

Chen Qiaoshan smiled: "Mom, aren't I coming back, you can cook me something delicious, even if you are a fat pig, I will admit it." ”

Chen's mother slapped her son on the back, "Don't talk nonsense, you know nonsense all day long." ”

The third and fourth children also came out, Chen Xi took the backpack in Chen Qiaoshan's hand, but Chen Wan didn't care so much, and complained directly: "Second brother, you didn't come back for my birthday a few days ago." ”

"Alright, I've got the gift ready. "Chen Qiaoshan is also used to seeing wind and waves, and it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a few younger sisters.

The result was not optimistic, as soon as they entered the door and sat down, the three sisters of the Chen family had a serious disagreement over the gift.

"I picked this one first, and my second brother said it was my birthday gift. This is Chen Wan, and both she and Chen Xi have taken a fancy to the Jaeger-LeCoultre women's bracelet watch with a blue dial.

Chen Xi had already taken the lead in getting it in her hand, she played with her watch and said, "My birthday is the first day of the first lunar month, why don't you change the reason?"

Chen Wan was choked enough, but there was nothing she could do about Chen Xi, she just didn't follow it.

"Second brother, you are partial, the third sister and the fourth sister have it, why don't I have it?" Xiao Wu is not easy to get along with, she grabbed Chen Qiaoshan's T-shirt and didn't let go, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Chen Qiaoshan knew that he had made a mistake, but it was too late to regret it.

"Xiao Wu, isn't the white piece still there, aren't you quite smart, go, whoever takes it will be whoever!"

Before Xiao Wu could react, Chen Wan had already taken away the watch with the white dial, and she knew very well that if Xiao Wu got it, she would have nothing left.

This is not the end, Chen Wan said angrily to Chen Qiaoshan again: "Second brother, you have no sincerity at all. ”

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but retort: "A little conscience, I bought it for you from Hong Kong, tens of thousands." ”

"How much?" Chen's mother was startled, she knew that her son could toss and earn a lot of money quietly, but she couldn't accept spending tens of thousands of dollars to buy a watch, "Second brother, you don't have a fever, you can buy a watch for tens of thousands?"

Chen Qiaoshan knew that something bad was wrong, and hurriedly remedied: "Mom, just kidding, it's Korean won, and one dollar can be exchanged for one hundred and eighteen, and it's only a few hundred yuan." ”

"You just fool around, Hong Kong is a place in China, can you spend Korean won?" Tao Xiuying couldn't help but glared at Chen Qiaoshan.

The son was born to her, how could she not see through his careful thoughts, she bought everything, she had to tell Chen Xi Chen Wan: "Take it well, be careful, don't bump it." ”

The third and fourth children were not stupid, they responded honestly, and then they happily played with the new gifts, leaving only the fifth child to stay there stupidly, for a long time, she finally couldn't help it, "What about my gift?"

Chen's mother was not used to her problems, "Didn't you wear it on your hands, and you have only been beautiful for a few days?"

Xiao Wu was so angry that he cried directly, "I bought this electronic watch for only twelve yuan, and I bought it from Hong Kong, can I compare?"

"Twelve yuan is not money, I will see if you earn one dollar?" Chen's mother is amazing, a few words blocked Xiao Wu's voice, but she still sobbed.

Chen Qiaoshan also felt that he was a little excessive, he knew that if he bought an extra piece, it would be broken if it was broken, so what could he do.

Looking at Xiao Wu's sadness, strange and pitiful, after thinking about it, he said: "Xiao Wu, otherwise, I'll buy you another one when I go back to Yanjing, by the way, everything in my bag is food, and it was also bought in Hong Kong, it's all yours." ”

Wrapped around Chen Xi, seeing that the third sister had the intention of doing something, Xiao Wu didn't cry anymore, and grabbed Chen Qiaoshan's TUMI backpack in his hand, "Mine, it's all mine." ”

Chen Qiaoshan smiled: "It's all yours, and the bag is yours too." ”

Xiao Wuwu was sad to herself, she glanced at Chen Qiaoshan again, "I'm talking about the delicious food inside." ”

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help crying and laughing, after a long time, in the eyes of the little girl, the brand-name bag was not as attractive as the food, and I just hoped that she could maintain this normal heart in her life.

Chen Qiaoshan offended Xiao Wu ruthlessly, and he didn't pay attention to him until he ate.

The dumplings made by Chen's mother in the evening, Chen Xi and Chen Wan have been helping the kitchen since they were children, and they also look good when they wrap the dumplings, but they didn't let Chen Qiaoshan interfere.

When people leave their hometowns and go out, what they are most worried about is always the home-cooked taste, this dumpling, Chen Qiaoshan ate it happily.

After eating, Chen's mother reminded: "Second child, my grandmother has been talking about you for half a month, take advantage of this cool time to go to the uncle's house to eliminate food." ”

"Okay. Chen Qiaoshan promised to come down, as soon as he went out, it would be three or five months, and it was time to walk around.

Chen Qiaoshan went out in the dark, and Xiao Wu also came out with a big flashlight, he couldn't help laughing and said, "What's the matter, aren't you angry?"

At the end of June, the sky was full of stars, but there was no moonlight, and it was pitch black.

Xiao Wu took the hand electric and snorted and said, "Second brother, you are eccentric." ”

Chen Qiaoshan said: "Okay, where do you have so many ideas, I have three younger sisters, which one is the same, if you want to say partiality, it is also biased to your side." ”

"I don't believe it. Xiao Wu was obviously very angry, but the surroundings were pitch black, so she still got closer, "Second brother, you just said, go to Yanjing and buy me a piece?"

"Buy it for you, and you can pick it yourself when the time comes. ”

"It's a deal. Xiao Wu was relieved, "Second brother, tell me, what Yanjing is like, it's much bigger than Dengzhou, right?"

……

The brother and sister chatted all the way until they entered the uncle's house.

A large family was watching TV in the courtyard in the shade, and when they saw Chen Qiaoshan, the old grandmother of the Chen family complained: "Mountain, why are you coming back?"

Xiao Wu preemptively said: "Grandma, the second brother just came back next morning, and I will go to the town to pick it up." ”

The old lady couldn't help laughing, "How old are you, the girl's family, you will run to the town less in the future." ”

"Don't worry, I'll go with my dad. Xiao Wu argued, and said with a smile: "Grandma, the second brother has brought you a gift." ”

As she spoke, she took the bag in Chen Qiaoshan's hand as if offering a treasure, "Well, these are all brought back from Hong Kong by the second brother." ”

There are only a few people in Wangcun who can go to high school, let alone college students who are admitted to the exam.

There are a lot of people working in the south, but they are all running to live, but Hong Kong has heard that before the start of the free trip, there is no chance to go.

Everyone in the courtyard was very curious, and the eldest aunt asked, "Little Five, what are they?"

"I don't know, the second brother said it was medicine. "The little five are divided, and they can't say why.

Uncle asked, "Dashan, did you really buy it in Hong Kong?"

Chen Qiaoshan nodded, "It's all commonly used medicines and the like." ”

In these years, he is not interested in bringing goods, and rural people do not have that consumption level, Chen Qiaoshan bought some standing medicines such as Huang Daoyi and Double Flyer according to his previous habits, and it is very suitable to give them to relatives and friends.

"Grandma, don't you have an old stomach problem, try this clam shell stomach powder, if it works, I'll buy it for you later." ”

"Good, good. "The old lady is very happy, the Chen family's house, and the grandchildren of the old family's family are the most promising, the son has suffered for half his life, and finally turned his luck, how can she not be happy.

The eldest aunt stepped forward, picked up a bottle of Huang Daoyi and asked, "Shan, how is this used?"

Chen Qiaoshan said: "This is the treatment of bruises, dredging and invigorating blood, pure Chinese medicine, and the outside world says that the effect is relatively easy to use." ”

Chen Qiaoshan picked up what he could use and bought, and he didn't spend any money, just a heart.

Like a double flyer, similar to a panacea, it can be used as a flower water to repel mosquitoes, or it can be used as a refreshing oil, in fact, it is not much god, but the effect is good, and it is a must-order brand for seven aunts and eight aunts to go to Hong Kong.

After chatting with the uncle's family for a while, Chen Jun suddenly came over and said, "Boss, I bought a new one-two-five, do you want to take a look." ”

Xiao Wu's ears were pointed, and he immediately said, "I'll go too." ”

The eldest aunt grabbed her and said, "Little Wu, let's enjoy the shade outside, the army has something to say to your second brother." ”

Hearing the eldest aunt say this, the scene quieted down for a while, Old Man Chen's pipe had already been extinguished, he coughed, knocked the cigarette ash on the leg of the chair, and the old lady was silent.

Chen Qiaoshan knew that something was wrong, and he didn't say anything, "Little Wu, don't make do with it, help the old lady read the manual." ”

Xiao Wu pursed her mouth, isn't it embarrassing for her, she doesn't know a few words, but the second brother said it solemnly, and she didn't speak anymore.

Chen Qiaoshan's heart is bright, the lobby brother is also a person who can toss, and he also followed the trend to buy a drilling machine, I heard that the benefits are not very good.

Nowadays, looking for yourself is nothing more than two things, either for money or for digging wells, and other than that, I can't think of any other problems.
