Chapter 109, Gift Money
Although he watched his brother drive away smoothly, he was still worried, but after more than an hour, his brother still drove the car smoothly to pick up his sister-in-law, which made Chen Shu very happy and a lot more down-to-earth.
My sister-in-law's maiden house is not very far from Chen Shu's house, and it takes about 20 minutes to drive, but with a delay for a while, I naturally came back a little late. On the way, Chen Qiang told his daughter-in-law about the origin of his car, and also told his daughter-in-law that Chen Shu came back with his girlfriend, which made his daughter-in-law a lot happier, at least not so boring by herself.
After coming back, my mother told Chen Shu about her sister-in-law, whose sister-in-law is Hu Jingxuan, who is one year younger than her brother, and she will stop going to high school and work as a salesperson in a shopping mall in the city. The two were also introduced to each other by others, and originally planned to let my brother buy a house in the city, but later gave up considering the actual conditions of the family.
Of course, although the bride price of 50,000 yuan is not too much, you can also pay a down payment in the city, but I don't know if it is my sister-in-law's idea. Chen Shu asked his brother if he had told his sister-in-law about participating in the self-examination, and his brother said that he had already said it, and his sister-in-law not only did not object, but also strongly agreed with his brother's exam.
In the past, my sister-in-law didn't know my brother, but many people who went to school in the same village knew him, because Chen Qiang's study was very good at that time, which was also the reason why Hu Jingxuan supported her brother to continue the exam.
After Hu Jingxuan and Luo Chenyu met, they found that Hu Jingxuan's height was also 1.6 meters, and her wearing high heels was also 1.7 meters. Although Chen Qiang is slightly shorter than Chen Shu, he is also one meter seven or eight tall, and these two people are really a good match when they stand together.
Hu Jingxuan and Luo Chenyu are in different places and have different jobs, so the two of them have endless topics to talk about, and Chen Shu naturally won't get involved. Hu Jingxuan has not been so easy to come to Chen Qiang's house, and I think it is not bad to have such a concubine, at least the two of them can talk together.
When the two finished lunch, the mother entered the house with two red envelopes, and saw that the two chatted very well, and she was happy. "This is a red envelope for the two of you, don't be too little, that's what it means for the New Year, take it all!"
Because neither of them had ever been to the door, Hu Jingxuan still called Chen Qiang's mother "mother", while Luo Chenyu still maintained the habit of calling Chen Shu his mother "aunt"! Mom gave them a brief chat, and then went back to the room to continue preparing other meals.
At this moment, a wave of people who came to see their daughter-in-law suddenly turned into Chen Shu's house, and Chen Shu, who was watching TV in the house, naturally heard it clearly, "Chen Baoguo and their second child have brought their object back, can you go to their house to have a look?"
"Go! Anyway, it's the New Year's holiday, aren't you calling your daughter-in-law today? Look at their eldest daughter-in-law, why can't they get married next year?" said the group as they entered the courtyard of Chen Shu's house. Hearing the sound of talking outside, Chen Shu hurriedly came out of the house, but most of the Chen Shu who came to the door still knew him.
"Er, where are you at home, and where is your daughter-in-law?" someone immediately asked.
"I'm not married yet!Hey, hey, hey
Hearing Chen Shu talking to a few people in the courtyard, Chen Shu's mother Li Chunfang also hurriedly walked out, and the group of people saw Li Chunfang and hurriedly spoke: "Isn't this to see your daughter-in-law? Why are you still hiding?"
"An old daughter-in-law like me is thick-skinned, and I'm not afraid of you looking at it. Where did you get around?," Mom asked.
"No, there are only five marriages this year, and it's over in one circle, I heard that your family is called a daughter-in-law, and both daughters-in-law are here, so I came around your house!"
Chen Shu had already introduced his sister-in-law and Luo Chenyu once, and everyone knew that the other party had not been through the door, so it was not good to stay long, just chatted a few words of homely words, and then went to the next room to chat with his mother.
Because Luo Chenyu was with him, his brother didn't mix much, but when he sent him away, his brother took his sister-in-law to the south courtyard, and Luo Chenyu and Chen Shu naturally stayed in the north courtyard. Luo Chenyu didn't open the red envelope, and directly put the red envelope into his wallet.
"Yu'er, tomorrow Mom, they're going to Grandma's house, are you going?" asked Chen Shu.
"I don't want to go, I'm not your daughter-in-law, it's a bit inappropriate to follow you now, right?" Luo Chenyu said.
"It's not interesting for the two of us to stay at home, I think it's better to go. I haven't seen my grandfather and grandfather in this year, if I don't go, I'm afraid that the two old men will be worried!" Chen Shu said with a slight smile.
"That'...... Anyway, so many people have already seen it, and I am not afraid of a few more relatives. Although Luo Chenyu agreed, his voice was very small.
Knowing that Luo Chenyu agreed, Chen Shu was relieved. When Chen Shu was a child, he often ran to his grandmother's house, and there were many cousins, so every time his grandmother was too annoying to blow away several of their cousins. After only ten days and a half months, grandma missed them again, but she was blown away again within a few days.
It's okay for one or two children to be together, but if five or six are naughty together, adults really can't stand it, not to mention that it is my brother Chen Qiang who takes the lead every time. Now that I'm older, I may have fewer and fewer opportunities to see grandma and grandpa in the future, so I plan to buy more things to see.
When his mother sent away the villagers, Chen Shu planned to drive out to buy something, but was stopped by his mother. Let Chen Shu open the trunk of the car, and then load the large and small boxes into it, including the shrimp and chestnuts that Chen Shu brought back. Chen Shu didn't say anything, whatever his mother did.
Since he couldn't go, he had to stay at home with Luo Chenyu, maybe his brother would have to drive his sister-in-law back in a while, and it would be bad if he couldn't come back by then.
At half past two in the afternoon, I beckoned my sister-in-law and Luo Chenyu to eat again, basically all families are like this, it is usually not too late, and after eating, I need to send my daughter-in-law back who has not passed the door.
After Chen Qiang sent Hu Jingxuan back, it took more than half an hour to go back, and it was almost five o'clock when he got home. Chen Shu took Luo Chenyu to the town, and it happened that the supply and marketing mall had not yet closed, and Chen Shu bought a lot of things, more of which were supplements for the elderly.
After coming back, Chen Shu asked his mother, grandma and grandpa were in good health, their movements were quite neat, and they often visited the village to rest when they had nothing to do. Although people may not be able to go far when they are old, if they want to eat something at home or buy something, they will inevitably spend money.
Chen Shu's plan is to give his grandmother and grandfather a few hundred yuan, what if he wants to buy something but has no money?
