Chapter 1: Grandpa is old
The next day, Chen Shu officially set foot on the rules, not thinking about the time sooner or later, just thinking about getting home safely. It is not only Chen Shu who has the mentality of going home early, but also many people who are running around. The car was not fast, and after getting on the highway from Kaiping, I went to Beijing, ready to transfer from Beijing to Jingshi Expressway.
The air conditioner and warm air in the car made people a little sleepy, but Chen Shu was not reluctant and quickly drove the car into the Xianghe service area. I got out of the car and went to the convenience store to buy a bottle of Coke, got back to the car and left the door open, ready to stay for 20 minutes before continuing on the road. The mobile phone rang, it was Wang Zilan's call.
"Zilan, what's wrong?" asked Chen Shu.
"Where are you?"
"Langfang Xianghe Service Area, continue to open here, I gave your mobile phone number to Aunt Zhao yesterday, called you, right?" Chen Shu asked.
"Well, now that we are all in Fengnan, my aunt's family has come over, let me thank you so much!" Chen Shu also heard the joy of the family from the phone, and the whole house was very lively. Relatives who have been separated for 30 years meet unexpectedly, and the surprise here is not something that can be described in a few words.
"Then how are you going to thank me?" asked Chen Shu a little mischievously.
"How do you want me to thank you?"
"Make a promise!"
"Okay......" This time Wang Zilan agreed without the slightest hesitation, and Chen Shu, who followed the call, was stunned for a moment.
"Wait for me!" Chen Shu said softly into his phone.
"Well, drive slower on the road, call me when you get home!" Wang Zilan spoke softly, making Chen Shu listen more affectionately.
"Yes, I'll call you back when I get home!" Hanging up the phone, Chen Shu drove on the road with a slight smile on his face.
Then give Liu Xin a call, and take the corrected drawings back when he goes back. In fact, Chen Shu also wanted to meet Gu Xiaowei, after all, his classmates had a little help, but he still knew how much this drawing could sell.
"Liu Xin, are you at home?"
"Are you back?"
"On the way, I'll go to you to get the drawings in a while, and now I'm ready for the money, and I'm ready to do it after the Spring Festival. When it's time for me to invite you two to dinner, don't be polite. After hanging up, Chen Shu didn't call Gu Xiaowei, and he was sure that Liu Xin would contact him.
Although Dingzhou is only a county-level city, it is one of the most populous county-level cities in the country, and now that the Spring Festival is approaching, there are many more vehicles and pedestrians on the road than usual. Liu Xin and Gu Xiaowei set Yuexiangyuan, and Chen Shu had also been there, but now there is navigation, which is very convenient.
Because they had to drive, none of the three of them drank alcohol, and after eating, all three of them went to Su Yulong. Because Su Yulong's villa has been renovated, but he plans to renovate it next spring, worried that there will be problems with the decoration in winter, Liu Xin and Gu Xiaowei also suggested to him, after all, rural heating is not as good as that in cities.
"Now there are six people who have come to measure the size of my house, and I told them that there are no drawings, so they all bring a meter ruler directly!"
"Everyone in our village is like this, but there shouldn't be many people who can build like you, after all, there are three or four hundred thousand investments. Liu Xin said.
"They can reduce the material, without any seismic standards or the like, it is estimated that more than 200,000 can come down. "When I speak, I am still a little depressed.
"What about your drawings, Liu Xin said that they were changed for you, I'll take a look!" Su Yulong was still a little curious, and Chen Shu went back to the car to get it. After Liu Xin gave it to him, he didn't open it, rolled it into a roll and strangled it with a rubber band, just opened it at this time.
After opening it, Chen Shu was stunned, including Su Yulong, who was also stunned, because it was too atmospheric, and the whole momentum was completely different from the original.
"Why is there such a big change?" asked Su Yulong.
"Because his foundation height and floor spacing have been increased, after all, he originally changed from a five-bay room to a four-bay room, and then became a townhouse, if he didn't increase the visual effect was very poor, of course, it would cost a lot of money. Gu Xiaowei smiled and said.
"Since you build it yourself, and it's not a matter of living for a year or two, it's not too much money to spend, right, Chen Shu?" Su Yulong accosted on the side.
"It's even better than I expected, this one is the material budget, right?" asked Chen Shu with another one.
"Well, you can do this, it's basically not much different. "A few people chatted at Su Yulong's house, and Su Yulong accompanied him to boil water and make tea, and he felt good on a small day.
"How are you doing? I don't think I've ever said anything about my work. Su Yulong asked.
"In August, I registered a company to do steel pipe sales. I took out a lot of inventory before I came back, and I plan to do a big job next year!"
"Yes, in fact, it's better to work on your own to earn money, after all, it's not a long-term solution to work with people all the time, you two are okay now, talk when you need help, we will definitely reach out if we can help!" Su Yulong said to Liu Xin and Gu Xiaowei.
"It's okay! We're out on turnaround, and now we're not short of money, as long as we don't go to take on big projects, there's no problem. The two of us don't want to be so tired, so we just plan to make some money safely. Liu Xin took the words, and Gu Xiaowei on the side also nodded and smiled, and the personalities of the people who came were indeed similar.
Before leaving, Chen Shu put down three small foam boxes, which were full of crabs, but they were all frozen, so Chen Shu's car has been in the shade for the past few days, just worried that the ice inside would melt.
Today's weather is very good, the leeward place is very warm, many elderly people in the village are basking in the sun, as for those migrant workers who came back from going out to work, they basically went to play mahjong. The car slowly entered the street, the windows were lowered, and when he saw the familiar villagers, Chen Shu stopped to say hello.
"Dad, go back! The second child will be home in a while, don't guard the door anymore!" Dad's voice came into Chen Shu's ears, but what he saw was that his grandfather was sitting on the stone pier at the door, his eyes kept looking at the mouth of the alley. Before coming back, Chen Shu called, and his mother said that his grandfather was starting to be a little confused, and he was always thinking about something.
Maybe it's almost the New Year, and grandpa misses himself a little, so he keeps Chen Shu coming back in his heart. Almost every day, he sat at the door and guarded, hoping to see Chen Shu walk into the alley. Grandpa's memory seems to be still stuck in Chen Shu's elementary school, expecting to see his grandson come back bouncing.
Seeing the license plate, Dad helped Grandpa up, "Dad, I'll help you up, the second child is back, do you see? Chen Shu hurriedly pulled over and got out of the car to help his grandfather.
"It's back, it's back, it's good to be back, it's good to be back......" looked at Chen Shu from time to time, as if he couldn't recognize whether it was his grandson.
"Your grandfather is getting old and starting to get confused, and your brother took him to the city hospital for a check-up a few days ago, but he didn't find anything. It seems that Dad saw the doubts in Chen Shu's heart, so he explained.
"Grandpa, he's eighty-two, right?" asked Chen Shu.
A few days ago, the Shijiazhuang Dry Rest House came to look for them, and there were not many of them who had fought with the Japanese, so they said that they would take them over to recuperate and have someone take care of them. We didn't feel at ease and didn't let him go, and later a few of your grandfather's comrades-in-arms came. When you're older, it's like this. Let's drive the car to the house!" the father helped his grandfather to the house, and talked about his grandfather's situation.
"Let's go into the house, what have you brought back? It's okay to put it in the car? There are still happy events at home this year!" said my mother happily.
Chen Shu hasn't reacted yet, what other happy events are there in the family now, do I have anyone who is not engaged or married?
