Chapter 061: Good News and No Bad News
What is happiness?
Does the filial piety of the father and the son count?
Since the return of the baby son from Puning, Chen Shi and his wife have a huge sense of happiness in their hearts, the two in-laws have worked together, Chen Shi pulled Chen Mo to sit on the sofa and gossip, mainly to ask Chen Mo if he is busy these days? How is the entrepreneurship going? Is the money enough? How much did a dozen gifts cost? This time I went home for a small gathering, will I go home for the New Year?
Fang Cuilan showed her skills in the kitchen, stir-fried three dings, stewed red beans, boiled vegetarian vegetables, cold salad folded ear root, steamed bacon sausage, seaweed egg soup, although these five dishes and one soup are mainly vegetarian, and it sounds very ordinary, but Fang Cuilan is cooking with heart.
In the face of his loving father's questions, Chen Mo seemed patient, and adopted the principle of "reporting good news and not bad news" to accompany Chen Shidong and pull west, in short, Chen Mo expressed that he was all fine outside, so that his parents did not have to worry about his trivial matters, and the two elders only needed to take care of their bodies.
In addition, Chen Mo also made a promise that in the future, he will often find time to go home to accompany his parents, not limited to New Year's holidays.
In fact, Puning is not far from Huayun, Chen Mo is just suffering from the inconvenience of not having a private car to travel between the two places, and Chen Mo's nearly 180,000 points can be exchanged for a two-wheeled two-wheeled bicycle in the system mall (you book friends are not mistaken, it is a two-wheeled bicycle, motorcycle, battery car or motorcycle), but in Chen Mo's heart, "family affection" is always in the first place!
No, Chen Momei did not frown and exchanged more than a dozen gifts in the system mall, in addition to the gifts from his parents, his four sisters, four brothers-in-law and three little nieces all shared, and there was no favoritism.
Although it is said that "the daughter who marries out is like water spilled out", in Chen Mo's outline setting, the four sisters of the original owner were very good to the original owner before they got married, and even if they got married, they would seal a red envelope for the original owner during the New Year.
Since Chen Mo originally set up four sisters for the original owner, hoping to feel the "deep sister-brother love" from the protagonist, there is no reason for him to draw a line with the four sisters of the original owner when he crosses into the world of the novel, right?
So, Chen Mo chose a gift for each of his four sisters, brother-in-law and three little nieces as a meeting gift for his younger brother and brother-in-law and brother-in-law to his sister, brother-in-law and niece.
Here I have to say that the ideology of the older generation is not the same as that of the young people, especially the thinking of the elderly in the countryside, which is particularly feudal!
Take the gifts prepared by Chen Mo for his sisters, Chen Shi and his wife are both relieved and heartbroken, the two couples are pleased that their son is not raised in vain, he values love and righteousness, and he just buys things to honor his parents when he earns money from starting a business, and what is even more commendable is that Chen Mo is still thinking about his four sisters. Brother-in-law and three little nieces, the two couples are heartbroken by money, even if this is their son's heart, they still feel the pain, after all, in the old-fashioned concept of rural people, the daughter who marries should not take a stitch from the family, so the couple believes that the son has no need to waste money on the daughters.
Chen Mo took into account the feelings of his sister and brother, and Chen Shi and his wife didn't care about nagging, no matter what they said, their daughters were born to them, even if they got married, they were their daughters.
Chen Mo felt sorry for his niece, Chen Shi and his wife thought that since the birth of their three granddaughters, they didn't seem to have bought anything for their three granddaughters, so they followed Chen Mo, anyway, they were all their own grandchildren, not cheap outsiders.
As for Chen Mo and his four brothers-in-law, Chen Shi and his wife nagged a lot, after all, Chen Mo's four brothers-in-law are not sons-in-law, in the cognition of Chen Shi and his wife, there is no "son-in-law like half a son", they always regard the four sons-in-law as outsiders, and they are the kind of people who can give their sons-in-law what they want, but the sons-in-law cannot take advantage of their own family.
Uh~ It seems that in Chen Mo's outline, Chen Shi and his wife are both thrifty people, commonly known as "slamming the door", or "stingy".
Everyone has their own weakness, and Chen Shi and his wife are no exception, and their weakness is - baby son!
Chen Shi and his wife can treat themselves badly, but they will never treat their son badly, and they will respond to whatever their son asks, just like when Chen Mo opened his mouth before, Chen Shi took out the 80,000 yuan he and his wife had worked hard to accumulate to start a business for Chen Mo without discussing it with his daughters.
For another example, when Fang Cuilan saw her son coming home, she immediately added a meat [steamed bacon sausage] and a soup [seaweed egg soup] to dinner, fearing that her son would have no meat to eat and would not be nutritious enough.
Speaking of which, Chen Shi and his wife are still patriarchal, and only the son in the family will not make the two couples feel distressed about spending money, and the others, including their own spending a dollar, feel like they are dripping blood.
It is precisely because Chen Shi and his wife dote on their son, they are afraid of melting in their mouths, and they are afraid of breaking it in their hands, that Chen Mo did not hesitate to throw 144666 points to make his parents happy.
Facts have proved that Chen Mo's points are not wasted, Chen Shi can't put down the delicate and simple curved pipe, if it weren't for his son's rare return home, it is estimated that Chen Shi will go out for a walk, passively showing off that he has a sensible and filial son.
Fang Cuilan was secretly happy in her heart from time to time, and her face was also filled with a happy smile.
Compared with the gifts prepared for his parents, the gifts prepared by Chen Mo for his sisters are much lighter, the older of the four sisters is already nine out of twenty, and the youngest is also two out of twenty, considering that women must take care of their skin when they reach a certain age, otherwise it is easy to become a yellow-faced woman, Chen Mo spent 20,000 points to exchange for four sets of identical three-in-one skin care products in the system mall, I believe that no matter which sister he gives it to, the other sister will not be careful.
Nine out of ten men smoked, in order to save trouble, Chen Mo's gifts to his brother-in-law were all "harmless cigarettes" produced by the system, one per person, 2000 points each.
In Chen Mo's outline setting, the harmless cigarettes priced at 2000 points by the system taste similar to the cigarettes on the market for 100 yuan, but no matter how expensive the cigarettes on the market are, they are harmful to human health, so how can they compare to the harmless cigarettes produced by the system?
Of course, gift-giving is the intention, especially the gifts given by Chen Mo are not for sale, so he will not sell himself and boast, otherwise he can't explain the source of money? Anyway, whether the gift is good or not, the recipient feels it with his own heart.
For the eldest sister, the second sister, and the three daughters of the third sister's family, Chen Mo, who is the younger brother, is also more arrogant, and spent 4000 points in the system mall to exchange for a set of children's version (unit price 2000 points) and two sets of children's version (unit price 1000 points) of educational toys.
Arrogance comes at a price, no, Chen Mo's six-digit points instantly shrank to four-digits, but compared to a harmonious family, what does it matter if Chen Mo pays a mere hundred thousand points?
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is dinner time, Fang Cuilan put the five dishes and one soup cooked with heart on the table, and reminded the two men who were sitting on the sofa with a smile: "Open the meal, open the meal, you two fathers and sons don't talk, come over and eat." ”
"All right!" the father and son replied with a smile and got up to walk to the table.
In the blink of an eye, a table of ordinary but warm home-cooked meals met Chen Mo's eyes, making his heart feel warm, it turns out that happiness can sometimes be very simple, for example, it is a kind of happiness for him to sit with his parents and have a warm meal.
