Lunch is only eaten by Chen Zhengqian and his mother Li Xiaomei, and his father Chen Guowei received a small project a few days ago, and he from the next county did not come back for dinner at noon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chen Zhengqian ate three bowls of rice in one go, and then drank two bowls of pork rib soup, and suddenly felt comfortable.

Li Xiaomei watched him eat a lot, not to mention how happy she was, she couldn't wait to let him eat more and grow more meat, he looked so thin, I was really worried about him. If a boy doesn't grow strong and strong, how can there be a girl who likes it.

After eating, Chen Zhengqian went out for a walk as an after-dinner walk.

First, I went to my grandmother's house, said hello to my grandparents and second aunt, and then played with a few cousins and cousins. I found that since I drank Jin Liulu for them last time, they have become a lot smarter, and their academic performance is now the top student in the class. It is estimated that if you continue like this, with a little hard work, it should not be a big problem to be admitted to Hecheng No. 1 Middle School, and your height has also increased significantly.

asked the second aunt, and they all said that several children were in good health, and they didn't even have a cold or fever.

This is a good thing, Chen Zhengqian is also happy for everyone, there is nothing more important than the healthy growth of the next generation in the family.

Out of grandma's house, walk along the cement road and watch.

I remember that this cement road was only repaired in 08. In order to respond to the state's new rural development policy, and also for the sake of the political achievements of some people, they have carried out image projects on a large scale and strived to be rated as an "advanced rural unit." Dead orders have been issued from the city to the town, and every village must repair cement roads.

Then it began to collect money from each household to raise funds. I just don't know how much money is actually used to build roads.

In fact, after the road is repaired, it is indeed much more convenient, at least not like before, when it rains, it becomes a muddy one, and you can't walk in rain boots. All kinds of sewage are mixed together, and I can't get off my feet in sandals.

It's better now, but it's better, and the roads in the countryside don't expect to be as clean as in the big cities.

In the past few years, Chen Zhengqian has been studying outside, and except for vacation time, he rarely goes home at other times, and he has rarely had the opportunity to wander around the village. Looking at it all the way, I found that there have been a lot of changes.

For example, many new houses have been added, all of which are two or three stories high, and several families around are okay and still know each other. He rarely went to the upper village, he was not very familiar with it, and when he looked at it from a distance, there was no one at the door, and he didn't know whose house it was.

There are also several big trees in my impression, and in summer the trees are always full of old people playing cards or chatting and shaking fans, but now most of the old people are gone, and the big trees have disappeared, leaving only a stake head.

What caused so many changes in this impoverished hamlet, Chen Zhengqian couldn't say.

In addition, many young people in the village have now married their daughters-in-law and started families.

Those who don't study and go to work, very few of them don't get married until they are 25 years old. Many people work outside and meet a certain little girl of about the same age, and they go to their homes during the Chinese New Year. Basically, they are already married in their early 20s, maybe even earlier, before the age of eighteen, they have already held a child.

This situation is not expected to be common in urban areas, but it is so common in rural areas that it is simply not possible.

Chen Zhengqian remembers that one of his elementary school classmates, who had just graduated from junior high school, had a drink with the daughter of a family, and it is estimated that his son has already started elementary school.

In the old house, their daughter, when she was fifteen years old and in junior high school, got along with a boy in the class, but her old father was furious and threatened to break the kid's leg. Later, the two families still became. As for whether you are happy or not, only the person concerned knows.

During the Chinese New Year, Chen Zhengqian also saw her coming back to visit relatives with her child.

Faced with this situation, Chen Zhengqian could only sigh that the world is declining and the people's hearts are no longer ancient.

Anyway, the younger generation in the village, Chen Zhengqian knows, and few of them are about the same age as him, and few of them are not married, which makes him an outlier.

The whole world is filled with the sour smell of love, and only I still smell like a single dog. Chen Zhengqian comforted himself silently, thinking in his heart, should I bring a girlfriend back for the New Year?

In fact, he envied the kind of husband and wife relationship between others from the campus to the wedding dress, from green silk to white hair, but he always felt that he was not so lucky. Or is it still a little bit worse, not to the point where it comes naturally?

Hey, don't think about it so much, feelings are too complicated, so let's let it be.

As he walked, Chen Zhengqian met a few familiar uncles and aunts, and then greeted them with a polite smile, or chatted a few more words that were not nutritious.

"That's right, I'm such a good boy who has been so polite since I was a child!" Chen Zhengqian couldn't help but give himself a hundred likes, not afraid of his pride at all.

In addition, he also met another acquaintance, a childhood playmate - Chen Zhiyang.

Chen Zhiyang is one year older than him, he stopped reading after finishing high school, and followed his cousin to Pengcheng for a few years.

When Chen Zhengqian saw Chen Zhiyang, he greeted him from afar.

Chen Zhiyang in front of him is not much different from the impression, but he is more mature than before, and he is no longer the little mischief who used his family's money to buy a four-wheel drive car, but was tied to a tree by his father and smoked, and he is no longer the Laipi cat who went to the billiard court to play billiards together after school, and whoever lost gave money.

One dollar billiard table rent can play all afternoon. But be careful not to be seen by the adults in the village, otherwise you will complain to your home and wait to be beaten when you go home!

However, those were a long time ago, and now that everyone is older, it feels like there are fewer topics to talk about.

When Chen Zhiyang saw Chen Zhengqian, he was quite surprised for a while: "Chen Zhengqian, why are you at home?"

Chen Zhengqian smiled and said: "I don't need to go to class, just take a time to come back and spend time with my parents." ”

"You haven't graduated yet, how did I hear that you made a fortune?" Chen Zhiyang was even more surprised, this seemed to be a little different from what he had learned.

"It's a little money, but I'm not going to graduate until June next year, by the way, what's your situation now?" Chen Zhengqian didn't want to talk too much about himself, so he vaguely pulled it over and asked Chen Zhiyang.

"What else, fooling around like before!" Speaking of this question, Chen Zhiyang didn't care.

Chen Zhengqian smiled and asked, "You are not young anymore, don't your parents urge you to bring a girlfriend back to get married?"

Who knew that Chen Zhiyang said: "I have a wife, but I don't have money to put wine!" After speaking, he shrugged his shoulders and expressed helplessness.

Chen Zhengqian was really startled, he didn't know anything about it, so he asked him: "I haven't heard of any time." ”

"In July, I brought her back to my parents, and they didn't object. ”

Chen Zhiyang scratched his head: "It's just that the gift money is more troublesome, the other party wants 50,000 yuan, I can't take out so much for a while, so I will put it aside first, and marry her back next year when I save the money." ”

Seeing his happy and virtuous look, Chen Zhengqian said that he was caught off guard and was stuffed with another mouthful of dog food.

How to say it, 50,000 yuan may not be a lot of money for people in the city. Because now when you get married in the city, you need at least one room and one car, otherwise you don't have to talk about it. Some also ask for 100,000 gifts to their parents, or what "thousands of purples and thousands of reds and a little green", what "three catties and three taels", what "brother-in-law's reading money", "brother-in-law's bride price"......

Oh, the brother-in-law's bride price also needs to be given by the brother-in-law?

However, this situation is really commonplace.

The situation in the countryside is much better.

Chen Zhengqian said that his five cousins and three cousins got married, and the most gifts received by his mother's family did not exceed 10,000, and then his mother's side was directly replaced with a set of furniture and a 50-inch LCD TV, and 5,000 yuan was pasted upside down.

For example, cousin Jiang Hongyi's family, when the cousin got married, although the eldest aunt was not very satisfied with the man's family, but the 8,000 yuan gift money they gave, the cousin turned around and replaced it with household appliances and sent it over, from TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners to strollers.

My cousin said that although our family is a little poor, we can't even afford the bride price for marrying our daughter.

50,000 yuan is indeed not a small amount for a migrant worker from a rural area, but looking at his appearance, it seems that he is as willing as a glutton, and Chen Zhengqian is not easy to say.

The two chatted briefly, but they couldn't find any common topics, Chen Zhiyang said that he still had something to do, so he left first.

After saying goodbye to Chen Zhiyang, Chen Zhengqian returned home and found that there was an extra guest at home.

The person who came was the head of this village -- Chen Rongliang. (To be continued.) )
