Chapter Ninety-Nine: New Year's Greetings (I)

At half past eight in the morning, after breakfast at the hotel, Chen Tianliao took his family to his grandfather's house. A family of four left in two cars. I wanted two cars because I needed to bring a batch of mobile phones as gifts, and Su Yuejiang resolutely opposed putting small and high-value items such as mobile phones on the train, so I could only bring them myself. As for electrical appliances and the like, it is estimated that they have been transported to the vicinity of grandparents' homes at this time.

Although there was no snow on the road, it was already very cold. Thanks to the warm clothes purchased from the Wa Kingdom, Chen Tianliao and his entourage were still relatively warm except for the parts that had to be exposed outside. At this time, the children who are not afraid of the cold should be the children who are shouting and chasing outdoors. In contrast, most of the adults on the street are hunched and hurried away, eager to leave the road with the north wind howling like a knife. Chen Tianliao looked at the winter scenery of this era and smiled slightly. In this life, he really didn't have a childhood, after all, his soul has become an adult, and with so many more experiences and insights, it is impossible to completely leave everything he already has and return to his childhood.

In addition to the suburbs of the city, the reckless black soil plains appear in front of you. On the bare earth, there are occasionally bare tree trunks, and the small peasant villages are not in sight, and the houses are mostly dilapidated. The backward countryside in this era is not only manifested in concepts, but also in the material level. Land like Longjiang is completely different from the rural areas in the southeast. Chen Tianliao's heart actually arose the feeling that Lu Xun had returned to his hometown.

The car galloped on the narrow national highway, thanks to the very small number of cars in this era, the 80-kilometer journey actually only took an hour and a half, and arrived at the village on the edge of the small county town where the Su family built a compound. At the entrance of the village, there were two trucks waiting for Chen Tianliao.

Seeing Chen Tianliao's car arrive, two trucks followed. Grandpa's home is not far from the national highway, and there is no need to walk on difficult rural roads. Chen Tianliao relied on his extraordinary memory to park the car next to his grandfather's house, and Su Wenhai was already waiting on the side of the road with several people. Chen Tianliao got out of the car with his family, carrying a backpack full of mobile phone boxes deep in the mountains. Su Wenhai stepped forward, greeted everyone first, and then said, "Xiao Liao, we're here to help move electrical appliances." Where are all your appliances?"

Chen Tianliao pointed to the two trucks behind: "It's all there!"

"So much?" Su Wenhai almost didn't give Lei to it, "Didn't you give grandpa a set of electrical appliances?"

"Yes, the car in front is grandpa's, and the car in the back is grandma's. Chen Tianliao said as a matter of course.

Su Wenhai shrugged his shoulders and was completely convinced. However, he said: "The electricity bill in the countryside is expensive, and I am afraid that my grandparents are reluctant to use it." ”

Chen Tianliao said: "Let your father help them use it." My mother pays 10,000 yuan each to the two elders every month, and what electrical appliances can't afford to use? The things are put here first, and you guide them to find a place to park, and by the way, let the villagers open their eyes. Let's move in tomorrow when all my relatives are gone. Chen Tianliao knows that rural people like to show off their wealth in this era. Although he was bored, since the old people liked it, it would be good to help them earn some face. It is more important than anything else that the old people are happy.

Su Wenhai said: "Okay, Qiangzi, you take them to the open space over there in the brigade, and I will take my aunt and uncle, cousin, and cousin back first." Saying that, he turned out that Su Yuejiang was carrying the backpack, and he was going to lead Chen Tianliao towards home.

Chen Tianliao ran to the truck driver in front of him first and said to him: "Remember to bring back the big packages on the car for me in a while, and then go back to take Xiao Ye's car back to the county guest house for the New Year!"

The driver answered yes.

Chen Tianliao ran back to Su Yuejiang's side and said to Su Wenhai with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be quite prestigious here!"

Su Wenhai laughed self-deprecatingly: "If you have money, your waist will naturally be hard, and if your waist is hard, someone will naturally hold it." But you're so ruthless that you cut my salary by a million all at once!"

When Chen Tianliao heard him mention this, he was also angry, and said: "What are you still saying! Now that your child and his mother live with me, the rent of my house alone is more than 1,000 yuan a month, right? If you hire a dutiful nanny, you have to pay 2,000 yuan a month, right? Your 2,000 yuan is enough for the monthly living expenses of the mother and son. When the child grows up, if you still don't recognize anyone, I won't have to worry about the child's education, right? I'm also paying for your mistakes!"

Su Yuejiang also said: "Yes, Wenhai, you are not doing this authentically. ”

Su Wenhai said to me: "Aunt, Xiaoliao, I was wrong, don't say it! Don't tell my parents for a while, okay? Please!"

Chen Tianliao rolled his eyes and said, "You're almost twenty-eight, and I still said you? I don't have the leisure to do it! What should you do, you should know better than my little brother, right? If you can't do it, I'll do it for you." Who called me your brother?"

Su Wenhai was immediately speechless. Fortunately, he had already arrived home, and he hurried into the house.

Because Su Yuejiang was coming back to visit relatives, the people of the Su family came very neatly. As soon as Chen Tianliao stepped into the house, he saw a large group of children chasing and playing in the yard. Seeing them coming, many of the children stopped curiously, and looked at them with flashing eyes.

At this time, a rough voice sounded: "Fourth sister, brother-in-law, Xiaoliao, are you here?"

Chen Tianliao looked up, and a man in his fifties walked over from the living room. He remembered that this was Su Wenhai's father, that is, his eldest uncle Su Yueyun, except that he was a little older than he remembered, his appearance had not changed much. There were some short women next to him, none other than his wife.

Su Yuejiang hurriedly shouted, "Big brother!" and hurriedly greeted him.

Su Yueyun and his wife came to Su Yuejiang, stopped, looked at Su Yuejiang's face, and said, "Second sister, I haven't seen you for a few years, I can't imagine that you are younger than before you got married!"

Su Yuejiang blushed and said, "Second brother, don't talk nonsense. I'm old too. But fortunately, he took care of me at the dangerous peak, and Xiaoliao and Xiaoqing were very competitive, so I didn't have any worries, and my life was pretty good. What about you? How have you been doing these last few years? How are your mom and dad?"

Su Yueyun said: "It's okay, your parents are waiting for you, go in and see your parents!" he said as he nodded and smiled at Song Xianfeng. Su Yueyun and Song Xianfeng went back to Heishui Province to meet their parents once before they got married, and Chen Tianliao and Song Shiqing didn't come with them at that time. Su Yueyun can still recognize this new brother-in-law. Song Xianfeng also nodded at him, and walked quickly towards the living room with Su Yuejiang.

The living room was already full. Chen Tianliao's grandmother is very fertile, and has given birth to five sons and four daughters for the Su family in her life, one of whom died young, just four boys and four girls. The four men and four girls are the eldest son Su Yueyun, the second son Su Yueshan, the third daughter Su Yueyu, the fourth daughter Su Yuejiang, the fifth son Su Yuejun, the sixth daughter Su Yuehu, the seventh son Su Yuedong and the youngest daughter Su Yueli. The son who died at an early age was not counted in the ranking. That is, the women are not in the living room, but go to the kang in the backyard to whisper, otherwise there will be more people in the front hall.

Su Yuejiang took Song Xianfeng's hand and took the children to the parents who were sitting in the middle of the living room. Su Yuejiang bowed down and shouted, "Dad, Mom, the unfilial daughter Yuejiang has given you a New Year's greeting!"

Song Xianfeng also bowed and said: "The son-in-law has given his father-in-law and mother-in-law a New Year's greeting! I wish my father-in-law and mother-in-law a happy New Year, a long and healthy life, and a blessing like the East China Sea!"

Chen Tianliao's grandfather, Su Chengye, and his grandmother laughed happily, and said again and again: "I wish you a happy New Year, good health, and smooth work!"

Chen Tianliao also pulled Song Shiqing up at this time and said, "My grandson also wishes my grandfather and grandma a happy New Year! Grandpa and grandma, this is my sister Song Shiqing, and she will also be your granddaughter-in-law in the future! Xiaoqing, you should also give grandpa and grandma a New Year's greeting!"

Song Shiqing has gradually become accustomed to Chen Tianliao's cheekiness, so it is not surprising that he will say in public that he is his little daughter-in-law. But even so, it's still embarrassing. She blushed and said to Su Chengye and his wife: "Xiaoqing has given grandpa and grandma a New Year's greeting!"

Su Chengye did not feel inappropriate about Chen Tianliao's words. In this era, the people around this village basically married and had children early, Chen Tianliao is now eighteen years old, not too young, Song Shiqing heard that he is two months older than Chen Tianliao, so they also feel that it is normal to fall in love at this time. They were married when they were not yet twenty years old.

Grandma pulled Song Shiqing over and said, "What a beautiful girl! Xiao Liao is really visionary and blessed!"

Song Shiqing not only had a fever on her face at this moment, but her whole body seemed to be ignited by fire, which was so hot and uncomfortable.

At the same time, in a corner not far from Chen Tianliao, Chen Tianliao's aunt was scolding her son Su Wenhai in a low voice: "Look at you, how old is Xiao Liao, he has such a good girlfriend, what about you? You are almost thirty years old, and you don't do your job all day long, and you can't even bring back a wife!"

Su Wenhai had a bitter face and whispered, "Mom, don't worry." It's easy for me to find a girl, but now I'm not looking for a like-minded girl! If I wave on the road, there will be a group of big girls who will come to me!"

The eldest aunt patted her son on the head: "You can brag, you should bring a girl to the house! Even if it changes every year! I also discussed with your father that I will help you take care of the child while I am still not working!"

Wu Wenhai had no choice but to shut up wisely at this time. If you continue to talk about it, you will open your mother's chatterbox, then don't think about the New Year.

Over there, Su Yuejiang had already given her parents a red envelope, and then came to Su Wenhai to get her backpack back. She returned to her parents, opened her backpack, and poured out a bunch of boxes. When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but exclaim in unison.

Su Yuejiang smiled and said: "Dad, Mom, this is Xiao Liao's gift to the elders, each elder has one, and the two of you also have it, it is the best and latest mobile phone!"
