Chapter 188: Family Banquet
The Chen family talked about Peking University, but they didn't say a word about Tsinghua University, which is separated by a wall.
Chen Qiaoshan understands that the affairs of the Zhang family are not a secret in the Chen family, and perhaps even Chen's mother is also clear, he went to Tsinghua some time ago, that is, he simply walked around, and did not deliberately inquire about the news of Zhang Ziyu's parents.
Mr. Zhang is not simple, he is a well-known scholar in China, and relevant information can be easily found on the Internet.
Chen Qiaoshan has no interest in the Zhang family at all, he knows that the Chen family will not have a good impression of the Zhang family, and the only link is the half-sister.
He is actually a little curious, looking at the appearance of the grandmother of the Chen family, he has always been obsessed with the public case back then, but what the grandmother cares about most is the granddaughter who was left in Yanjing.
Chen Qiaoshan understands the mood of the old woman, the older generation values the blood the most, even if it is a female baby, it is also the blood and blood of the Chen family, and there is no reason to let people with foreign surnames take it away.
Thinking of Chen's mother's earlier words, he simply mentioned buying a car, and when he heard that he had received another 50,000 yuan scholarship, the Chen family reacted differently, Chen Weiguo was very happy, and he didn't think about anything else, his son was promising, he was really happy.
However, the expressions of the three younger sisters are different, Chen Xi and Chen Wan all have eager expressions, and the obsession of the two to go to Peking University has deepened a little.
It's Xiao Wu's reaction is the most bland, there is no way, when the Chen family is the most difficult, she is a small child, and her concept of money is limited to buying some snacks or something, even if it is now, the number of 50,000 yuan is still too big, she may really have no concept.
"You still have a lot of money left over from the original bonus to buy the machine, plus the money you earned in the past six months, which is basically used to build a house, and there are still 10,000 yuan left at home. ”
Speaking of money, Chen Weiguo is a little unnatural, if you really have to think about it, the current situation of the Chen family, nine out of ten is stained with his son's light, which makes him inevitably a little embarrassed to be an old man.
It's all a family, Chen Qiaoshan naturally doesn't care about anything, he thought about it and asked, "Dad, do you still want to continue to do the well drilling team?"
Chen Weiguo was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately straightened up, and said: "Why don't you get it, don't look at the lack of work now, it's the New Year's Festival, and it's been busy for more than half a year, so it will stop, don't you know, the work of digging a well is very promising......"
Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised, he didn't see it at all before, Chen Weiguo was also ambitious, he talked endlessly, and he even wanted to expand his business.
Chen Qiaoshan looked at Chen Weiguo, who was interested and was planning the arrangements for the coming year, and he also sighed a little in his heart, I can't say, this is also a man with dreams, maybe it was the bad things in the previous years that made him depressed for so many years.
Of course, Chen Qiaoshan knew very well in his heart that the job of digging wells could be done.
He knows that in the next few years, there will be a major drought in Henan Province every three or five places, and at least for ten years, this business will still be very marketable.
But listening to it, Chen Qiaoshan heard that there was something wrong, Chen Weiguo's vision was very long-term, and he was not satisfied with the rural market, but also thought about developing again, and pulled the Chen family's well-drilling team to the city.
Chen Qiaoshan was a little speechless, he knew that there was no shortage of work to dig wells in the city, and nothing else was left to do for the time being, just digging foundation pit wells was a big market.
But then again, those who engage in real estate are a hundred times more difficult than the people in the countryside, and Chen Weiguo, a man who has lived in the countryside for most of his life, doesn't know if he can adapt to that kind of environment.
Knowing that he knows, Chen Qiaoshan does not intend to interfere.
If you don't have a dream, what's the difference between being a person and a salted fish?
Although the words are very vulgar, Chen Qiaoshan thinks that the meaning inside is very real.
In Chen Qiaoshan's view, this is a normal thing, of course, he can't really stand by and watch, this is his own father, if there is really a problem, he must still mention it.
"Dad, don't buy a second-hand car at home, wait for you to get the certificate, buy a new car, whether it is maintenance, or a new drilling machine in the future, you have to worry a lot less. ”
Chen Weiguo was a little moved, but he couldn't make up his mind when he thought about it, so he couldn't help but glance at Tao Xiuying on the side from the corner of his eye.
Chen Qiaoshan naturally noticed it, he almost didn't laugh out loud, the Chen family used to be the master of Chen's mother, and looking at the current situation, it seems that there is no change.
Chen's mother didn't have a bad look in her eyes, and glared at her son who obviously wanted to see the joke, and then said: "The money is earned by the two of you, and you two are in charge." ”
Chen Qiaoshan sneered and said, "Mom, look at what you said, everything in our family is pointing to you for ideas." ”
Chen's mother couldn't help laughing and scolding: "I don't know if I learn from the talk, and I am flamboyant." ”
That being said, but in the end I still agreed to buy a new car, although it cost my son's money, but the family earned, sooner or later, I still left a few small ones, and this money is not so particular about spending.
As soon as they heard that they were going to buy a car, the Chen family was very happy, in Qianwang Village, the best four-wheeled tractor, the Chen family has come to the forefront of the times.
According to Chen Qiaoshan's meaning, buying a car has to be done in one step, but he also knows that the current situation in the countryside is definitely unrealistic, and he can only act at the opportunity.
In the evening, the uncle's family held a banquet, and the six members of the Chen family had to go over, and the formation was not small.
This is also common in the countryside, the Chen family is a big surname in Qianwang Village, and the old man Chen has four sons and one daughter, in addition to Chen Qiaoshan's four aunts, married to a neighboring town, and the four sons are living in front of the eyes, and there are a lot of grandchildren.
However, this year, all year round, there are not a few, Chen Qiaoshan's uncle and three uncles and their families are all working outside, and it is rare to be able to gather together.
As soon as I arrived at the uncle's house, a lot of people had already come, and when I saw the arrival of the old family, the grandmother of the Chen family came out directly, took Chen Qiaoshan's hand, and began to complain: "After half a year, I don't know if I can call here, or Xiaoxi is intimate with Xiaowan, and she still knows how to call me in high school." ”
Chen Qiaoshan was a little ashamed, in the end, it was a generation apart, and it was such a situation, and he really didn't think about making a phone call.
In my impression, the shrewd little old lady in front of me can also be the master of the house in the Chen family, but at this moment, she is just holding her grandson's hand, and she can't see the appearance of the past.
However, Xiao Wu helped the second brother to relieve the siege, squeezed forward and said coquettishly: "Grandma, you are too partial, just remember the third sister and the fourth sister, and I often come over to help you work." ”
The old lady smiled and said, "You little girl is the best at making trouble." ”
The courtyard burst into laughter.
At this village banquet, Chen Laohan's children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren gathered rarely, with 20 people, old and young, men, women, and women, and the two big tables were stunned and did not sit down, and there were no outsiders, and it was very lively to crowd one after another.
Chen Qiaoshan was a little novel, and finally saw all the Chen family, it was the first time he participated in this kind of family gathering, and it took a lot of effort just to chat with him.
Meals are divided into separate tables, one table for men and one table for women, and of course, there is no difference in the dishes.
This meal was tasteless, not that the food was unpalatable, it can be seen that the uncle's family spent a lot of effort to prepare this meal.
As the old saying goes, there is a brother who is against the wall, Chen Qiaoshan used to be an only child, and he had no brothers and sisters at all, he didn't understand very much, how could his brothers fight, and then he was used to seeing this kind of news, so he got used to it, nothing more than the word profit.
The atmosphere of this meal was originally very good, but when the uncle said that he wanted to pay for the well drilling machine, the hall suddenly became quiet.
However, Xiao Wu and a few small ones were still noisy there, and they didn't notice the change in atmosphere at all.
