The next day, the Chen family started to be busy early in the morning, and the second uncle and second aunt also came over early to help.

The well drilling team has been busy for more than a month, this time just took the opportunity to rest for two days, last month's salary has been settled with all people, each person has a monthly income of more than 1,000, and go to the south to work to earn not much, the key is that it is close to home, you can usually take care of the family, you can also ask for a leave of absence in case of emergency, it is very convenient.

The monthly income of more than 1,000 is very attractive in the countryside, Chen Weiguo used to work in the brick factory, only 600 yuan at the end of the month, the work is not light, tired and tired all day long, in comparison, the well drilling team is much more comfortable, the standard of living is good, wherever you go is the treatment of the master, tobacco and alcohol are enough.

The Chen family's well-drilling team had just paid their wages on the front foot, and the next day someone came to inquire if there was still a shortage of people, which made Tao Xiuying's heart messy, and she was a little worried that it would be too ostentatious.

Chen Qiaoshan didn't pay much attention to it, just looking for a job, there was no fuss, he casually persuaded Chen's mother a few words, thought about it and told Chen's mother not to stay at home, go to the town to open a household and save it, Chen's mother glared at him, and threw down a sentence: "Hindsight, you still need to teach!" made Chen Qiaoshan so embarrassed.

……

Master Zhao came over before dawn, and brought a batch of guys, a corner of the yard is neatly built with a few new stoves, and there are a few cauldrons on it, which are much larger than the iron pots used by Chen's family, and the shovels are all used with small shovels.

Master Zhao's three little apprentices also came early in the morning, and several of them were busy with their own things, obviously familiar, all kinds of messy things, many and miscellaneous, and they didn't show a little flustered.

Chen Qiaoshan was still sleeping, and was directly dragged up by Tao Xiuying, "Hurry up and clean yourself up!"

Chen Qiaoshan was not happy, he slept late last night, he would be sleepy, he didn't want to move at all, he thought about it again and again, and finally made a wise decision, get up, or don't provoke Chen's mother.

Waking up early is a trivial matter, and this whole day can make Chen Qiaoshan choke enough.

The surname Chen is a big surname in Qianwang Village, and the surname Chen in the village is basically a little close, even if it is not a real relative, it is also a family, and people will definitely be able to climb up to the family after a generation or two.

Chen Weiguo has now turned over, and everyone is not blind, the front of the well drilling team started the work, and the people in the back half of the village knew about it, and the people in the village sighed, the Chen family is about to make a fortune! In addition, Chen Lao Er has a future, and several daughters are not a simple person, seeing that the life of the Chen family is getting more and more prosperous, the Chen family is setting up wine, and the nearby people who are close to each other are coming.

The countryside is different from the city, and the people in the city may have lived in a building for several years, and no one even knows the name of the neighbor, and the rural area is not like this, and the distant relatives are not as good as the close neighbors.

When Chen Qiaoshan was not idle this day, he ushered in the sending, serving tea and water, handing cigarettes and toasting, he had to do all these jobs, and he had to bow down and be small from time to time, and be humble when others praised him, otherwise people would gossip and say that he didn't know the world.

Chen Qiaoshan saw Chen's mother's family, his grandparents and grandmothers came, and both of them looked still healthy, looking much younger than Old Man Chen.

The two elders came with Chen Weiguo's two aunts, and were personally received by the old man Chen and his wife, but Chen Qiaoshan's matter was also indispensable, and the old lady took her grandson's hand and looked at it for a long time, praising him for his promising.

In the city, the wine is served in a restaurant, but in the countryside, the table is set up at noon and evening, and several tables are set up the next morning.

The Chen family was noisy all day, and it was not until the dead of night that the Chen family relaxed.

Chen Qiaoshan was so tired that his back hurt, and Chen's father and Chen's mother were not much better, but Chen Wan and Xiao Wu were still full of energy, and the two of them did not send work during the day, they were all playing with the children of relatives, eating and drinking, and they were very happy.

Grandpa and grandma didn't leave today, my mother's family came all the way over, so naturally they had to stay for a few more days, the old couple and the two aunts rested at Chen's house, and Chen Qiaoshan and Chen's father went to the uncle's house to rest for one night.

The father and son settled down at home, and then got up and went to the uncle's house to rest, although it was already midnight, but the moon was still old, and even the fields in the distance could be seen clearly.

"Dad, I should go to school in a few days!"

"Hmm!"

Chen Qiaoshan was a little depressed, what does this mean?

"I mean, I'll be going to Yanjing in a few days!"

"Hmm!"

Chen Qiaoshan was speechless, Chen Weiguo obviously understood the meaning of his words,

If he didn't want to talk about this topic, he could have done it perfunctorily, what was the matter with this answer? He was too strange, but Chen's father didn't want to say it, and Chen Qiaoshan couldn't ask anything more.

Not far from Chen's house to the uncle's house, the father and son walked one after the other, falling into an inexplicable silence, and halfway through, Chen Weiguo took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a lighter and lit one.

Chen Weiguo doesn't drink much, and occasionally smokes a few cigarettes, since he bought a well drilling machine at home, whether he goes out to pick up work or leads a team to dig wells, he has to hand over cigarettes first to everyone, and he smokes cigarettes diligently.

When he was about to arrive at the gate of the second uncle's house, Chen Weiguo suddenly said: "Your eldest sister's name is Zhang Yiyi!"

Chen Qiaoshan was distracted, Chen Weiguo said coldly, his mind was still a little messy, and he pondered carefully for a while before reacting.

"Zhang Yiyi?"

"Iraq's Iraq, one-two-three-four-one"

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't cry or laugh a little, it was too embarrassing, Zhang Yiyi, a girl name who was originally quite gentle, let Chen's father compare it like this, it was like missiles and artillery flying together, but it was not strange to think about it, just the little ink in Chen's father's stomach, it was really a little difficult for him to find a better word.

Chen Qiaoshan suddenly reacted, this situation is not right, is Chen Weiguo still connected with the Zhang family? Otherwise, how would he know the name of his eldest daughter? And what is the surname Zhang? Thinking of this, his gossip heart can't be controlled, it seems that Chen Weiguo is also a person with a story, far from what it seems on the surface.

Chen Qiaoshan was about to inquire about the situation again, but he had already arrived at the door of the uncle's house, and Mrs. Chen heard the movement and greeted him, so he had to suppress the curiosity in his heart and look for a chance to talk about it.

The next morning, the Chen family also prepared a few tables of noodles, but this time there were a lot fewer people, most of them were neighbors nearby, at the end of the banquet, Chen's mother divided the remaining materials, and there were a lot of ingredients left over from the banquet, and each family sent a little more or less, which is the rule of the countryside.

Grandpa and aunt stayed with the two aunts for one more day, and left early in the morning on the third day.

Tao Xiuying is a little reluctant, her mother's family is far away, and it is not easy to come over, the family was not rich before, and she never thought of picking up the two elders to live for a while, but now the days are a little better, but her parents are still in a hurry, which makes her a little sad, and she sent her mother's family away, and Chen's mother also cried.

Chen Qiaoshan was very emotional, the family was so difficult before, and he had never seen Chen's mother cry, but now the days are over, her sons and daughters are all promising, her temperament has become weak, and Chen's mother before thinking about it is not as strong as it seems on the surface.

Chen Weiguo and Tao Xiuying, a couple, seem to be people with stories.

The Chen family's meal of wine was received as a small 5,000 yuan, which greatly surprised Chen's mother.

The rural areas of Henan Province are not compared to other places, you can get 50 yuan for a meal of wine, you can get 100 yuan for a good relationship, and only 200 for very close relatives, the Chen family really has not many relatives, most of the neighbors who come are nearby and the Chen family, and it was originally estimated that two or three thousand yuan will be up to the sky.

"My mother took 300, I didn't give it back, my sister-in-law and my brother and sister took 500, Jianguo took 500, and the gift money of the eldest brother and the third brother was all sent by the old man......" Tao Xiuying looked at the small account book in her hand, and her mouth was still babbling.

"It's right that the second mother's money is not collected, they don't have much income now, I heard that Chunshang is still making tea in the tea garden. ”

……

Chen Weiguo and his wife are settling personal accounts there, these can't be sloppy, they will be returned one by one in the future, and a few small ones can't interject, so they can only sit and listen.

"Sister, you will also start school in a few days!" Xiao Wu was next to Chen Wan and muttered quietly.

Chen Wan smiled and said, "What's the matter, what do you think?"

Xiao Wu glanced at the second brother not far away and said, "I saved another five yuan, which was given to me by my father and grandmother, and you can take it to the eldest sister ......."

Chen Qiaoshan looked at his two younger sisters sneaking around, muttering something behind his back, and couldn't help but ask funny: "What are you two talking about?"

The two immediately shut up and stared at him like thieves, which made Chen Qiaoshan very depressed, so he could only walk away in a sneering manner, and he was bored if he didn't go up.

……

In a blink of an eye, the day of the start of high school has arrived, and it is Chen Wan's turn to report to a high school.

This battle is relatively big, this is the first time Chen Wan has gone out of the door so far, Chen's father and Chen mother are not at ease, so they came over together to help pack their luggage.

"Bring more clothes. Chen's mother commanded.

"Mom, I can't fit it in my bag, I have to put something else. Chen Wan refused.

Chen's mother disagreed, "I'll find you a bag later." ”

"I can't take it!"

……

Women, big or small, are sometimes troublesome.

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't stand it on the side, "Mom, take less, it's not that the fourth child won't come back, go home and get it when you go back on vacation, you can't put it down if you take too much school, just take the mattress and take the bed thin, it's such a hot day, I'll buy her a narrow mat to spread when I go back to school, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night." ”

Chen Qiaoshan is different from the past, what he said is very convincing, Chen's mother thought about it and agreed, her son is older, and it is still more reliable to do things outside.

After packing his things, Chen Qiaoshan tied his luggage to the motorcycle of the second uncle's family, and prepared to take Chen Wan off.

Tao Xiuying was very worried and asked, "Second brother, can you do it?"

Chen Qiaoshan was most afraid of hearing this, but he didn't dare to ignore Chen's mother's words, so he had to say patiently: "Don't worry, I can drive the car, not to mention this little seventy." ”

Tao Xiuying stared at him with a suspicious look, Chen Wan and Chen Yue also had that expression, obviously not believing his words, and Chen Qiaoshan couldn't explain, "Fourth, come up, do you want me to send you on a bicycle?"

Chen Wan got on the motorcycle just now, and as soon as she got in the car, she hugged Chen Qiaoshan's waist, looking like she was afraid of being thrown off the car, which made him helpless, "Why are you hugging so tightly, you're not hot?"

Chen Wan thought about it, so she let go of her hand and turned to hold the hem of Chen Qiaoshan's clothes tightly, as if she was dragging a donkey.

Chen Qiaoshan had no tricks, so she could only turn on the key and step on the car, and started smoothly in first gear and drove out.

Chen's mother was also relieved when she looked at his skillful posture, but she still instructed: "Be careful on the road, send the fourth child to school, and be sure to settle down......"

Chen Qiaoshan was a little speechless, it turned out that Chen's mother also had the potential to talk.

When he arrived in the town, Chen Qiaoshan parked his motorcycle in the small restaurant at the entrance of the station, and said hello to the restaurant owner.

Chen Qiaoshan took his sister on the bus, Chen Wan This is the first time to go to the city, she looks a little excited, and she feels very fresh about everything around her.

Chen Qiaoshan looked at Chen Wan who was sitting on the side, and his heart was also a little uneasy, the family is now settled, and his younger sisters also have a relatively relaxed environment, thinking of this, he couldn't help but explain: "You have to study hard at school, put your mind on studying, you can find the third child if you have anything, you can also call home, I will go to Yanjing when I go back, and I will buy a mobile phone, and you can also find me if you have anything to do......"

Chen Qiaoshan babbled for a long time, Chen Wan listened carefully, and it was not until the end that she said, "Brother, how did you become a mother-in-law!"

Chen Qiaoshan was stunned, he thought of Chen's mother's explanation when he went out, and he thought she was nagging at the time, but he didn't expect that he would also nag, and it was a little funny to think about it.

"How do you speak, I'm your brother, what's wrong with telling you two sentences?"

Chen Wan pursed her lips and didn't say anything more, but she was obviously very unimpressed in her heart, and the brother and sister didn't speak again, and the atmosphere was a little silent for a while.

Chen Qiaoshan was a little distracted, maybe this is the family affection that cannot be parted.

He thought about Chen's father and Chen's mother, thinking about his three younger sisters, he inexplicably came here after a toss, subconsciously maybe it was all for them, if there were no relatives, maybe he would choose to take the college entrance examination in silence and low-key, and finally leave here silently and go to a place where no one knows him to start over.
