Stomach pain or stomach pain, this year is always going to pass, but before Chen Anxiu left, Chen Tianqing came back first, she was the train on the afternoon of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and arrived at Green Island at less than five o'clock, Chen Anxiu and Chen Tianyu had something to do and couldn't leave, Zhang Shinian asked Geng Tao to be the person who picked him up at the train station, and then went to Zhang Shinian's company to sit for a meeting. The two of them walked together after work.
Zhang Shinian has no hobby of chatting with others, and on the way to and from work, he usually closes his eyes or thinks about something, Geng Tao has followed him for many years, knows his habits, and does not bother without special circumstances. Chen Tianqing went to the bathroom temporarily, and when she arrived at the parking lot, Zhang Shinian had already gotten into the car, and without Chen Anxiu present, she and Zhang Shinian were not very close, so she automatically sat in the co-pilot.
This time, Zhang Shinian was not silent all the way, he asked Chen Tianqing about his work. This is a suitable entry point, if he cares about his private life, Chen Tianqing doesn't know how to deal with it, it doesn't feel right to say that it's close, and it's inappropriate to deliberately distance himself. It's relatively easy to talk about work, she is doing finance, although this is not Zhang Shinian's professional field, but she also has an absolute right to speak, and he has a broad vision and clear thinking. Chen Tianqing was speechless at first, just thinking about not being cold, but later he slowly became serious. The two chatted for more than half an hour until Chen Anxiu's phone called. He called Zhang Shinian, but first he told Chen Tianqing if it was cold on the road, and said that small snowflakes were starting to fall on the mountain now, so let them slow down on the road and not be in a hurry.
When he said this, Chen Tianqing deliberately paid attention to the window, I don't know if the snow is too small, or there is no snow at all in the city, she looked at it for a long time, and she didn't see any snowflakes, "...... It doesn't seem to be big enough in the city, so it shouldn't matter...... I know, big brother, I'll be back later. Because it was Zhang Shinian's mobile phone, she didn't plan to talk for too long, so she simply returned the phone after a few words.
After that, it was the time of the two of them, Chen Tianqing didn't pay much attention to it, occasionally caught two sentences, and there didn't seem to be a fixed topic, they were all very casual chats, and it seemed that the eldest brother had more words, Zhang Shinian was mostly responding, she was embarrassed to turn back to see Zhang Shinian's expression, but the voice sounded pleasant and relaxed, and there was no sense of alienation when facing others.
"Big brother is really talking, and he will be home soon. Chen Tianqing silently complained about her brother in her heart, but she couldn't help but think of another extremely noisy person, who didn't know where to get her mobile phone number, and called her every now and then. Sometimes she doesn't want to take it, but it doesn't prevent the person from beating often, and every time there are various reasons, sometimes she doesn't want to talk, and the person can talk for half an hour. This went on for four or five months, and she was forced to get used to it. I don't know how I knew she was going home today, so I pinched and blocked at the door, saying that I was going to pick up someone at the train station and give her a ride by the way. Probably afraid that she would not agree, he directly snatched her suitcase and dragged it. She had never met such a cheeky and scoundrel in her life.
The car entered the suburbs, there were fewer street lights on the street, Chen Tianqing changed her posture and found that it was really snowing outside, and the snowflakes sprinkled under the reflection of the dusk street lamps were very clear, her hand reached into the bag she carried and wanted to touch the mobile phone, before she touched the mobile phone in the hidden bag, she first touched a thermos box, because it had been placed in the bag, and there was a slightly hot temperature on the surface, she didn't have to open it to know that it was a whole box of pumpkin pie, which was before getting into the car, Shao Zhong stuffed it into her bag, and that person never seemed to give people the opportunity to refuseγ She likes to eat pumpkin pie, but the craftsmanship of this box is really not very good, not to mention that it is not soft and glutinous at all, and it is also of different sizes and strange shapes. The reason why it can still be called pumpkin pie is because it is really made of pumpkins, and in two of them, she eats the pumpkin skin that has not been peeled clean.
It's rare that today's phone didn't catch up, but when he took out his mobile phone, Chen Tianqing pursed his lips and smiled, there was no power, no wonder it was so quiet.
It was the evening of the 28th day of the lunar month, and there were still two days to go before the New Year, and their car came all the way, and from time to time they could hear the sound of firecrackers and fireworks, and when they arrived in the town, this sound was even more obvious.
It's really going to be the New Year, every time I get home, Chen Tianqing has a clear feeling that I want to celebrate the New Year, Chen's father probably knows that they are coming, and he is already waiting under the street lamp at the mouth of the alley, and after seeing their car, he strides over.
"Dad. After Geng Tao stopped, Chen Tianqing opened the car door and ran down, and Zhang Shinian also followed.
Father Chen is not a father who is good at expressing his feelings to his children, although he waited here early in the morning, he didn't say too many emotional words when he really saw people, he only took his daughter's bag, and asked if it was cold on the road? Is the car going well? and beckoned Zhang Shinian to go back to the house quickly, saying that the meal was ready, and it was cold outside.
Chen Anxiu and they booked a ticket at more than ten o'clock in the morning, and they will go to the city in the morning to meet the old man, and they will not come to say goodbye tomorrow, and it happens that Chen Tianqing will come back tonight, and everyone will have a reunion dinner at home together.
However, Grandma Chen was not there, so she followed Chen Jianyou's family to Uncle Chen's side. Every time Chen Jianyou comes back, there is an endless stream of guests at home, and all kinds of good words are sent to Grandma Chen like no money, she is happy in her heart, and her spirit is also much better, sometimes Chen Jianyou helps her, and she is also willing to go to the relatives near home to sit. The son is dressed in glory, and as a mother, her face is also very bright. No one has told her about Liu Xue yet, but due to the rain before, the money of each relative's relatives was basically taken out. During the Chinese New Year, they were quite evasive about not talking to the old lady, but because they were grateful to Tianyu, their faces were more amiable than in previous years. Grandma Chen didn't know the twists and turns in this, and was immersed in the joy of the upcoming New Year and the reunion of her son and the whole family.
Chen Tianyu waited for everyone to move the chopsticks before entering the door, he went to Linjia Island today to send New Year's goods to his grandfather and two uncles, and called back before to say that it was snowing today, and the old man was not allowed to go, he was ready to rest there for a night, but he didn't expect to come back temporarily, "I checked the weather tomorrow, there will be heavy snow tomorrow, and it will snow heavily, and it will be more difficult to walk on the road." "It's also a mountain road, and the road to Linjia Island is more rugged than theirs, and there are many turns. If the road is blocked by heavy snow, you can only take a boat from the sea to bypass, which is even more troublesome.
Chen's mother asked him to wash his hands and brought an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks. But he came back from eating a lot of things on Linjia Island, and he was not hungry, so he squeezed into the middle of Chen Anxiu and Mao Mao and sat down, and robbed Chen Anxiu of feeding him.
In fact, Mao Mao is now very good at eating by himself, but some dishes he can't fork or stand up and can't reach, adults just help to clip the vegetables, and the other is to coax him to eat more vegetables that he is not very keen on.
No matter how much they love to eat, their appetite is much smaller than that of adults, so their uncle and nephew finished eating early and went to the side to play, and on the sofa next to them were two rabbits that Mao Mao had held and played with in the afternoon. As soon as Chen Tianyu saw this now, he remembered the little he had done before. He also went to the hospital to see Ruizhe, of course, he also knew what happened, "Mao Mao, you tell your uncle, why did you give the rabbit to Rui Zhe's brother in the end?" Mao Mao This little guy doesn't mean that he is so domineering that no one else can move his own things, but it is not easy to snatch something from him.
It's been a few days since this happened, and I was lying in my uncle's arms with a round belly, and after thinking about it, I patted my belly happily and replied, "Daddy buys a new one." β
Chen Tianyu glanced at Chen Anxiu, he still thought that the eldest brother had said something big to ignite the stubbornness of the improvised ones, and sure enough, he was thinking too much, "Then what is the name of the rabbit you gave Brother Ruizhe?" He could finally ask this question publicly.
"Uncle Rabbit. β
"What?"
At this time, Ton Ton also finished eating, he thought that Mao Mao's pronunciation was not clear, and his uncle didn't understand, so he helped explain, "That's Uncle Rabbit, it's a blue bow tie, didn't Mao Mao hold it to show you before it landed on your car?"
Chen Tianyu really didn't pay attention to these details to be honest, he was just a rabbit, who would pay attention to what color bow tie he wore every day, if he knew, he couldn't tell it, but this would, he finally figured out one thing, and after going around this big circle, he sent himself out.
After dinner, before the dishes and chopsticks were confiscated, Chen Xiaoli and his son drove over, bringing some peanut oil, cigarettes, and a pension for Grandma Chen. In addition, there is Grandpa Jiang's, who is a five-guarantee household with no children and no daughters, more than Grandma Chen's. These are all common practices, they are about the same every year, Father Chen made it clear in person, so he first helped seal up Grandpa Jiang's share, Grandpa Jiang had dinner early and went to sing Peking Opera at another house. The slight difference between this year and previous years is that there is an additional 1,000 yuan in subsidies this year, which is not available to everyone. In addition to the suffering households in the village who are really having a hard time and the thorns who need to be appeased, the other is who the village committee has a good relationship with and is willing to give it to.
A thousand yuan is not much, but the money for no reason is always not so easy to collect, sure enough, when the meeting came, Chen Xiaoli asked Chen Anxiu if he could move the chicken farm and pig farm to the mountains next year, Chen Anxiu was in order to facilitate transportation, the pig farm and the chicken farm are not far from the roadside. Originally, it was all mountains, but there was no problem. But the village has now developed a community, and the pig farm and chicken farm are all in the south wind of the community, no matter how clean it is, the taste of summer will not be too good.
Chen Anxiu didn't promise him, although his pig farm and chicken farm are not large now, but the chicken coop and pigsty have also invested a lot of money, not to say that they will move, Chen Xiaoli also said that the village can consider giving him more plots of land, as long as he is willing to move. Chen Anxiu promised that he could sit down together and discuss it after the year.
Chen Xiaoli didn't want to knock on the door with such a big fanfare, so he unloaded the peanut oil and cigarettes of Uncle Chen and several nearby relatives at Chen Anxiu's house. After he left, Chen's father called someone to come and get it. Third Uncle Chen wanted to eat after eating, and the family came over, and by the way, he also sent Grandma Chen and them over.
Grandma Chen knew that Chen Anxiu was going to Beijing tomorrow, and told her to take care of the children on the road and pay attention to safety, and she didn't ask much else, Chen Anxiu has been in the Chen family for many years, she has not treated him as an outsider, but compared to Tianyu them, she and Anxiu are still almost in love, knowing that he is not at home for the New Year, and there is not much reluctance.
Chen Tianqing bought a new camera this year, and brought it home with her this time, she saw that there would be a lot of people in the family, so she proposed, "Grandma, let's take a family photo together." β
Grandma Chen's eyes swept around the house and said, "Let's take a picture again during the Chinese New Year, and then your aunt and sister-in-law will also come." β
Father Chen understood what he meant, and also echoed, "It's late now, and it doesn't look good when it comes out in the dark, so find a daytime another day, and let's take photos together." It looks good during the day. β
Tianqing didn't understand what Chen's father meant, took out the camera and said, "Dad, the camera I bought this time is very good, I guarantee that the photo is the same as during the day, I took it today, and it won't be impossible to take it another day, and my eldest brother is going to Beijing for the New Year, and when he comes back, I will leave again." Tonight was the most crowded. β
Chen's father thought to himself, "Then take a photo, you can take a better photo." After speaking, he lowered his head and discussed with Grandma Chen, "Mother, let Qingqing take two photos this time, and let's take another photo during the New Year." It's a rare time for her to come back. β
Grandma Chen didn't want to dismiss her son and granddaughter, so she agreed this time.
So everyone began to move the stool and the sofa, Chen Tianqing just started to take some group photos of individual families, followed by a large group photo, a very traditional way of standing, Grandma Chen sat in the middle, and his three sons and daughter-in-law sat on either side of her. Standing behind him were his five grandchildren, as well as Zhang Shinian and Li Wenwen, standing by Zhang Shinian's side. Third Uncle Chen put An An on Grandma Chen's lap, and she hugged it firmly. Mao Mao stood at the front to look at his aunt in a daze, and Father Chen pulled him over and leaned against his lap, and the four generations were frozen at this moment. After that, the others took some photos with Grandma Chen. Chen Anxiu also went over to take a photo, Grandma Chen was wearing a Chinese jacket with a flower and sat on the sofa, he sat on the arm of the sofa, his right arm was on the back of the sofa, and his body leaned slightly towards the old man, Chen Tianqing shouted that he was going to shoot, and when he didn't move, Grandma Chen put her hand on Chen Anxiu's left hand hanging on her lap. This is the most intimate photo of the grandfather and grandson, and it is also the last. After that, until Grandma Chen died, the two never took photos together.
A little more than seven o'clock the next morning, Chen Anxiu and they set off from home, although the time is not early, but the sky is still gray, the small snowflakes that floated all night last night suddenly became bigger when it was almost dawn, and the snow on the ground was not very thick at this time, "Fortunately, the old man doesn't like to take a plane, if we book a plane ticket today, we won't be able to leave." Look at this snow, it's a little down. β
It was about half past eight when they arrived at the old man's side, and the two old men had already eaten breakfast and packed up their things. Because Zhao Shangjun insisted on celebrating the New Year on Green Island this year, his family had to follow his temperament. His two daughters-in-law came over ahead of schedule with a few little grandchildren, and the house was also very lively. Meng Dong was overwhelmed this time, with a group of people around Mao Mao, saying that he was going to take him into the house to play, and no one knew what he was actually going to do, but Mao Mao was not a stupid person, he didn't go, he didn't go, he didn't go no matter how he pulled it, he moved a bunch of delicious and fun things, he should eat and take it, and when it came to going into the house to play, he said that he wouldn't go if he didn't go.
When someone else pulled him, he ran to the old man and sat down, "I want to ride a big car with my grandfather." "That means he's too busy to play. As soon as he ran to the old man's side, Meng Dong was out of line, he had already been warned countless times by the grandfather, and the grandfather was old, so he was not allowed to run and jump in front of the grandfather Ji to make trouble, and he was beaten if he collided with the buttocks of the grandfather Ji.
Others said that their little grandchildren were slippery and not bullied, and the old man was still very proud, not saying anything, and his beard was happily cocked. But to catch the train, they didn't have much delay here. Someone from the train station had already gone over to make arrangements in advance, and after they arrived at the ground, someone led them into the carriage in advance, where tea and fruit were prepared, and the bedding and blankets were all new. The leaders of the station also came over with the conductor, they didn't know the old man, but they knew Ji Junyi, the mayor, and they were attentive in their attitude.
Green Island is not far from Beijing, they arrived in Beijing not long after lunch, returned home and rested for most of the day, the next day is Chinese New Year's Eve, there is everything at home, there is nothing, the people below are also prepared early, they don't have to work hard when they come back. The old man was even more leisurely, and after writing the Spring Festival couplets early in the morning, he took tons and tons of adventures to visit various nearby houses. But it didn't take long for it to turn back, saying that most of those people hadn't eaten breakfast yet, but Chen Anxiu heard another set of rhetoric from Feng Xin's mouth, saying that when people saw the little grandson in the old man's hand, they all said that the family needed to clean up and invite them to come back later.
The old man has a big heart, and he is like no one else, he led people out for a walk as usual after resting, and asked Chen Anxiu if he wanted to go together, he was afraid of being embarrassed, so he resolutely refused. In the morning, he took someone to paste the Spring Festival couplets, and in the afternoon, he and Zhang Shinian went together to pick up the old man and the old lady of the Zhang family to celebrate the New Year together.
can be because the New Year is coming soon, everyone is happy, and the attitude of the two old people is still very good, especially Zhang Jinzhi, seeing Chen Anxiu showing a rare smile, and saying that people look a little fatter than when they worship their ancestors, which makes him feel a little flattered.
This year, Ji Fangping and Ji Fangnan both have jobs and can't come back for the New Year, Ji Fangping has a reception job in Beijing, and Ji Fangnan even went to the grassroots level to go to the southern army, but the juniors are very complete, and they all came back in the middle of the afternoon. Everyone made dumplings together, and they all stayed here for a reunion dinner at night. Yueran is nine years old this year, Tao Tao is also seven years old, he was promoted to the second grade in the fall, Tao Tao's mother Jiang Ningtian is pregnant again, and now it is more than four months, but she has a well-proportioned figure, and it is not easy to see it now, Ji Junxin is not the first time to be a father, but he still follows up like a stupid father, for fear that someone will touch his wife, Jiang Ningtian picked him up, he didn't leave, and finally the old lady couldn't see it, so she simply took her daughter-in-law and grandchildren to the living room to eat and chat with Fang Bining, and drove them to the kitchen to make dumplings.
This next Ji Junxin was dumbfounded, he has been in the army for many years, not to mention that he doesn't know anything about the kitchen, but it is limited to the extent that the food is cooked, if you want to make dumplings, he really can't do it at all, Ji Junheng is about the same level as him, he originally wanted to come in and set up dumplings to deal with things, but now he is used as the main force, and he angrily united with Chen Anxiu to block Ji Junxin at the kitchen door and beat him.
Zhang Shinian, who was an uncle, was a few years older, but since he was a child, he was also a young master, and his cooking skills were like that, and he had finally followed the bag before, and he could pinch the stuffing into the skin, all in all, Ji Junyi and Chen An were better. The five big men worked in the kitchen for more than two hours, and everyone ate dumplings at night and drank a lot of soup by the way.
The form of the New Year is actually similar every year, but because the family has arrived, it is particularly warm and lively. When Ji Junxin led the children out to set off fireworks, Chen Anxiu called home, they were still eating there, Grandma Chen, Grandpa Jiang, and Fourth Uncle Chen were also there, and Chen Anxiu gave them New Year's greetings one by one. It sounds very lively over there, in addition to the Spring Festival party, there are also crackling firecrackers around. Lu Jiangyuan accompanied Lin Changning to celebrate the New Year in the United States this year, and it was still daytime on their side, they were preparing things, and they had many friends to have dinner at home at night.
At the same time as he called others, there were also a lot of text messages and calls on his mobile phone, friends he met after opening a farmhouse and a mountain goods store, colleagues who used to be in Junya, and a few classmates, who occasionally had contact, and would routinely send a text message to bless it during the New Year's Festival. After resuming contact with Wu Zhengrong, he also interacted frequently with several other comrades-in-arms, and he asked for an address a few years ago and sent them New Year's goods, and those people also sent him a lot of things. Lou Nan didn't call, and sent him a few photos of their family's vacation in Hawaii. One of them was candy, wearing small swimming trunks, wearing small sunglasses, lying on a beach chair with his little fat legs crossed and drinking juice.
The four old people are old and can't stay up late, a little more than ten o'clock in the evening, they are ready to go back to the house to rest, before that, the juniors have all kowtowed to the old man to pay New Year's greetings, Zhang Jinzhi did not accept Ji Junyi's head, only Chen Anxiu's family, but everyone gave a red envelope. After the old man returned to the house, the children also slept one after another, Ji Junyi and they sat and chatted for a while, and they bowed to each other after the early morning before leaving.
There are many guests in the Ji family, even if the old man doesn't see many outsiders now, but there are still many relatives and friends who can't be pushed away, Chen Anxiu has been busy at home for a few days.
Lu Jiangyuan came back on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Changning still had a job there, and he was not available for the time being, so he came back alone, and he had already arrived home when he called Chen Anxiu. Chen Anxiu estimated that he was tired from sitting on the plane for such a long time, so he took tons and tons to the next day.
Because he didn't celebrate the New Year at home, Lu Jiangyuan didn't have any New Year's atmosphere here, which was almost the same as usual. Mao Mao has been here several times, and he is not afraid of life, as soon as he enters the door, he jumps around, and he doesn't know where to drag the giraffe doll he left here before, Lu Jiangyuan hugged and teased him, asked him to call grandpa, and asked Mao Mao if the little fat man missed grandpa. also asked Tonton, of course, he wouldn't ask Tonton about those meaty topics, he asked Tonton about his schoolwork, and asked how he studied painting.
Speaking of which, Chen Anxiu said that he wanted to find a teacher. The teacher who is following Ton Ton now is not bad professionally, but he is mainly tutored in the direction of the exam, even if there is no old man of the Zhang family, the teacher will have to be changed.
"I can't remember anyone I know on Green Island for a while, so it would be better to talk about it in Beijing. Lu Jiangyuan learned carving and engraving in his early years because of his interest, and he also had some contacts with people in the calligraphy and painting circles.
"Tons of students should be transferred to Beijing next year. "The old man's side means that Ton Ton should also come to familiarize himself with the environment and expand his personal connections, when Ton Ton was promoted to junior high school, the old man had this meaning, he was reluctant, Zhang Shinian talked to the old man, the Ji family made concessions, but he couldn't stop it all the time, after all, it was related to the future development of the child.
Lu Jiangyuan groaned, "If that's the case, I have a candidate." I have had a few encounters with Mr. Zhao Yuanchu, maybe I can ask him, An Xiu, you may not know, tonton, you should know. β
Ton ton nodded, Zhao Yuanchu is also a modern master of calligraphy and painting, he is the vice president of the Academy of Fine Arts, and he is also the apprentice of Mr. Xie Banshi.
Zhao Yuanchu, Chen Anxiu didn't know him, but he still knew who Xie Banshi was, the master was so famous, and the apprentice would definitely not be too bad, "But are people willing to collect tons?"
"We can let him meet with Ton Ton Seer. 166 Reading Network
