379 Chapter 379
Too many things happened in one day, for Chen Jianming's family, tonight may not be very easy, but for Chen's father and Chen's mother, it is not much different from the past, although the year has passed, but the weather is still very cold, there is not much to be busy outside the home, the building materials store is not open, the small restaurant and the mountain goods store are open, but the business is also very light, and there is nothing to worry about, tons of school has started, just cook some food for him in the morning and evening, and he has not come back in Beijing, Chen's father and Chen's mother are now going to Anxiu the new house when it is warm during the day to help clear the weeds and trees around the stones, most of the small hillside soil is very thin, it is not easy to cultivate, but the weeds and dwarf trees are very lush, of course, if it is not so, the village cannot approve the Chen family to build a house in such a good place near the roadside. Chen's father wanted to get the land out before the weather warmed up, and then pull a few more carts of cooked soil over, and when the weather warmed up, whether to plant trees, grass or flowers, it all depended on their own meaning.
This day is about the same, but today the weather is not good, they did not go out to work, only Dad to the town for a walk, recently because of the construction of the community, more people from other places, the people in the town must be more vigilant, especially if there are shops in the town, even if they do not open the door, they often go to see, especially Chen's father is also particularly worried about the new house, no one lives in it, and it is not far from the new community, although there is nothing to steal now, but the decoration has been done, If someone pries the doors and windows and breaks things, it's a hassle. He is not blindly worried, there was a few years ago, someone in the town got three floors, only a simple decoration did not live in the house, just waiting to dry the New Year to move in, usually from there to see the doors and windows lock are good, did not go in to see the details, anyway, the inside is empty, there is nothing to lose, the result of the New Year want to go in to clean it, paste the Spring Festival couplets, it turned out that there are two rooms on the second floor do not know who lives, but there is really nothing lost, but the house is not good for trouble, and there are people in it is convenient. Everyone is about an outsider, after all, there are houses in the local area, who has nothing to do in the winter to run to the empty houses with no heating and no water to find guilt, and look at the situation inside, living is not one or two, the time is not short, how to have a small half a month. Because of this, every time Chen's father went to see the new house, he opened every room upstairs and downstairs to see, for fear that something would be missed and someone would take advantage of it.
Chen's father went out, Chen's mother washed some towels and bath towels at home and tons of tons of small clothes, all of which were hung on the radiator to dry, because there was less risk at home, Chen's mother just wanted to clean up the house, and found that there was nothing to clean up. Now Mao Mao is not there, Chen's mother just sweeps and mops the floor and takes out the garbage in the morning and evening, and the house looks very clean and tidy.
If you want to say what's different on this day, it's probably that Grandma Chen said twice at dinner that today is Ruizhe's fourth birthday, and Chen's mother only pretended not to hear it, and didn't answer a word. Although the old lady is sick now, she can let her go, but she can't learn Aunt Chen's good temper and obey everything. But Chen's mother can pretend not to hear, and Chen's father, who is a son, can't really ignore it, he followed Grandma Chen's words and chatted a few words about Ruizhe's recent situation, but in the end he didn't say anything about sending something over or picking up Ruizhe to play for two days.
After the meal, Chen's father sent Chen's grandmother back to the house, and when she came back, Chen's mother had already packed up the dinner table, and was calling Tianyu, and after two days, Tianyu had a friend's bathing city to open, and invited a group of classmates and friends to warm up in advance, and Tianyu took tons of tons to pass. Chen's mother seemed to hear Zhang Lingjun's voice on the phone, Tianyu didn't say anything, she didn't ask, she knew that Tianyu would be annoyed if she asked too much, so she only told him to be optimistic, go to bed early, and don't make trouble too late.
Chen's father also followed the instructions, took a shower, dried his hair and went out again. None of them were people who were used to chatting on the phone, and they almost hung up the phone when they were told to do so. Now the children are not at home, clean is clean, but sometimes it's really not used to it, usually at this time you should be in the back room to do your homework, and when you are full, you will run around the house, and the family is not enough to follow his ass to work. As far as holding the TV remote control, I don't know how many times I have been bruised and fallen, so that the board behind the battery has fallen down, and it can't be installed, Chen's father had to wrap it twice with adhesive tape and barely fix it for improvisation, anyway, it was replaced with a new one, and it couldn't be new for a few days in Mao Mao's hands. Thinking so in his heart, he didn't make a sound, he took the remote control and changed to a channel he often watched, the TV series that started at half past seven has been played for a while, Chen's mother got up and went to bring a fruit bowl over, the two chatted while watching TV, and when it came to today's dinner, Chen's mother said, "Do you say that this old lady at home is really confused or fake?" ”
Father Chen was puzzled, "What are you thinking about?" She's like this, why is she pretending to be confused? ”
"If you want to say that she is so confused, Ruizhe's birthday, how can she remember it so clearly, and it is not bad for a day." You must know that Ruizhe has a birthday on the solar calendar, and the elderly generally count the lunar calendar at home. It's not just about memorizing, but also about picking up the calendar cards. Is this something that a confused old lady who can't even recognize people can do?
"You, just pretend not to be at home to make trouble for you, you are okay and just think nonsense, people in their eighties can't wait to be clear for two more days, and they are pretending to be confused? Besides, our mother, you don't know that she has been competitive all her life, and you just let her pretend to be confused and delirious, can she do it? She was just too anxious about Tianqi and Ruizhe. It's been so many years, and it's not easy for her to change, it's all this age, so let's do it, not to mention that Ruizhe just knocked it a year ago, she must not be at ease. "Ruizhe was injured, naturally no one mentioned it to the old man, but Ruizhe came over a year later, his head was still wrapped, and it was impossible to hide it completely, Li Wencai himself said that a child accidentally knocked a piece of oily skin while playing outside, it was not very important, but the doctor was afraid that the child would touch it by himself, so the bag was tighter, because she said it, the old man believed it, not that he trusted Li Wencai more, but the old man also knew that if it was Ruizhe who was injured by others, Li Wencai would have jumped a long time ago, where would he be good to help cover up.
Mother Chen doesn't care if she is really too anxious or pretending, anyway, Ruizhe's birthday, she won't go, and now that the two families are in such a trouble, do they still have to take the initiative to celebrate a child's birthday? Besides, she hadn't been there much before. In the past, when Zhao Xiaohan was there, every year for his birthday, Zhao Xiaohan had to buy something to send over, sometimes it was a small woolen sweater, sometimes it was a pair of shoes, and then he carried a bag of snacks that the child liked, there were not many things, that is, a matter of hundreds of yuan, and there was no shortage of this thing, but this was a heart, Chen's mother was very appreciative, every year on Miao Miao's birthday, she was also prepared early for Tianyu to send over, but Liu Xue since she entered the door, tons of things that risked a penny did not get her, Not to mention what birthday gifts to give. She just doesn't want to see Liu Xue again, but Ruizhe's birth moon is 100 years old, they have all been there, Liu Xue didn't come once in the full moon, or followed Li Wencai empty-handed.
"Speaking of Ruizhe, I remembered, his hospitalization fee was still paid by us, did Tianqi tell you a time, now that the year is over, he didn't mention any of them in his family, don't think we should take it, right? The child knocks and no one wants to see him, but Ruizhe is not our one who pushes it out of the way, so it is not our turn to take this money. At that time, you were not alone in going to the hospital, and you were the most active in taking the money. ”
"At that time, it was like that, Tianqi hugged Ruizhe, and our sister-in-law only knew how to cry, and the fourth child wanted to take it, but he came back for a few days, and asked for plane tickets and things, so I didn't let him, and fortunately, I still have the pension card that Zhuangzhuang gave to his grandmother. Anyway, Ruizhe was also injured at our door, and we can't say anything about it. ”
Chen's mother retorted when she heard this, "It's true that people were injured at our door, who told Li Wencai not to take care of the child, just know that she is talking to Tianlan's mother at home, and she doesn't care about her own children, and is still waiting for others to look at her with one eye?" "The truth is true, but Chen's mother also knows in her heart that the child was injured in front of her own door, which is lacking in reason, if it weren't for the fact that she saw Li Wencai's momentary anger of pushing and shoving, she would definitely have to go to the hospital to see, "'Anyway, you have to remember to remind Tianqi about this, the money will be cushioned, but he has to pay us back, and it is not only a matter of money, the main thing is that if we don't come back, it will be unclear in the future, your brother and your sister-in-law, I don't expect them to be grateful. Don't think about it at that time, if we are at a loss, we should pay this money, which is good. ”
Chen's father agreed, Chen's mother is not a person who will not let go, she handed the peeled apple to Chen's father, she took the towel on the heating pipe behind her to wipe her hands, and habitually picked up the mobile phone next to her, Chen's father glanced at it, and saw that her fingers fell on Zhuangzhuang's place again, he knew what she wanted to do, "Don't call, I just called the day before yesterday, every time you call, you take the risk and say that you miss grandma, miss grandma, and then come back." Do you make your grandparents sound comfortable? Father Chen said this, and said with all his feelings, "The child is mostly in front of us all year round, and finally he is accompanied by Zhuang Zhuang and Xiao Zhang, he can live in Beijing, and you also make the Ji family and the Zhang family's grandfather rare." Let's take the risk, when we mention this, people say that they can't take it when they're old, but fortunately, we have to take it, so that we are tired, in fact, in terms of the conditions at home, how many children can't take it? There is also Xiao Zhang, let's take the risk, he has never said that he will not let it, that is, sometimes you are in a hurry, grab it and slap it twice, which makes you cry with a smile, and I didn't see Xiao Zhang's face unwilling. We've got enough. ”
Chen's mother also knew that what he said made sense, so she had to put down her phone, but she didn't want to suffer, "I just mentioned that, why did I provoke you so much?" ”
"I went to buy things on the east street two days ago, Wang Lixue, who sold the stove, told me to go in and drink water, he said that his little grandson, who is almost sixty years old, and there were tears in his eyes as he spoke, he was such a son, a grandson, his daughter-in-law in the city did not let them take the old two, saying that they were old farmers, old thoughts, and brought the child bad, and put it on the child's grandfather's side since he was a child, the child is now six or seven years old, and is in the first grade of primary school, and he has never lived a night at his grandparents since he was a child. It's all the day to come and go, sometimes it's hard to coax the child down, grandpa and grandpa call again, until now, not close to grandparents at all, his grandma cooked and went to school to see him, he thinks his grandma cooks dirty, and I don't know who taught it. ”
Chen's mother also heard a little about this, "His in-laws heard that they are very capable, and they are in charge of a very large industrial park, and Jian Min went there to do odd jobs, saying that he had seen his son, and he was also in charge of things inside." ”
"We haven't been there yet, but I heard that the industrial park is not small."
Other people's family affairs, no matter what they have heard, no one really cares about anything, "What kind of water do you have nothing to do there?" We don't know people very well. ”
"I left there that day, and he stopped me and said that he had bought new tea and asked me to go over and drink water, and I happened to be thinking about showing Zhuang Zhuang and them the heating stove, can't there be a stove for burning the earth in winter? So I went in and sat down. ”
Chen's mother asked him, "Have you seen it?" It's not that she wants to be suspicious, it's Chen Jianping, who often chats and forgets about business.
"Look at what kind of look you have, I went in to see the stove, can you forget about it? I've seen a lot, and now this coal stove is very good, but I think Xiao Zhang's person should be clean, let's just get him a coal burner, although he doesn't like it, but let's buy it once, just buy one that makes people happy, I look at the current some burning gas is very good, it's more expensive, I asked, Lao Wang has more than 10,000 good ones, I asked Lao Wang to pay attention to help and inquire if there is a better one. ”
"Then you can take a look again, don't just look expensive, you can also inquire whether others are useful, whether it is good to use it. Don't spend a fortune to buy it back and it won't work. "To tell the truth, spend one or two hundred thousand to buy a stove, in the past, she was reluctant no matter what, but now she is reluctant to be willing, she has to be willing, she can't let Zhang Shinian live here and make do with everything, not to mention that there are Zhuang Zhuang and two children, and I think of Mao Mao again, "I'm still a little worried about taking risks, he is used to being wild, he can't sit still at home, now you look at this street, there are so many cars, he won't hide, just know that he looks up and walks forward with his face up, just like when he was strong and small, people can still pick up money on the road, Their father and son are like this, and they can't see where the money is. He wants to go out to play, and the two grandparents can't keep up with his legs and feet when they're old, and the nanny is an outsider after all, and I don't know if it's really interested. ”
"I think if you think about it again, you have to pack your things tonight, and you have to go to Beijing tomorrow. There are so many people in other people's families who can't stand it, so you just worry about it. Father Chen still hasn't eaten the apple in his hand, so when he said this, he quickly cut half of it to Chen's mother, "Eat an apple, eat an apple, don't think about it, I'll be back in a few days, and then you should think he has a headache again." ”
*
In fact, Chen's mother is right about one thing, Mao Mao really doesn't stop in the Zhang family for a moment, especially after her brother left.
Tons of tons are leaving, Chen Anxiu knows that he will always make trouble sooner or later, so he didn't tell him in advance, but the morning of Tons and tons of departure, something bad happened. After eating, he saw someone carrying his brother's suitcase out of the house, he knew very well that his brother was leaving, and he took it for granted that his brother was leaving, and he was also leaving, so he hurriedly ran back to the house, took his bear bag with money, and pouted his ass after going out to climb into the car, when Chen Anxiu picked him up and said that they would not go back, only when his brother wanted to go back to school, he was provoked, and he was unwilling, and when he saw his brother getting in the car to close the door, he pulled his small body and lay on the car window, and cried out with a wow.
As soon as he arrived in his brother's arms, he put his hands tightly around his brother's neck, put his fat face on his brother's face, and kissed his brother flatteringly.
As a result, the person came back, but the heart did not come back, especially in the following days, Chen Anxiu and Zhang Shinian were busy, and they didn't have much time to accompany him, and there was no one at home to play with him, so he had to run out every day, shouting in his mouth to go home to find it, and every time he went out, he didn't forget to bring his bag, because it contained all his New Year's money this year, more precisely, all the New Year's money he thought.
Mao Mao is now two and a half years old, and he probably knows some money, but he usually needs to buy things in person, and his family has given him money, at most two or three yuan, he holds it himself, and knows to go to the car that sells Yakult to buy a small bottle of Yakult, or go to the fritter stall to buy a jujube paste stuffed hemp ball, every time he tells people that it wants to be bigger, otherwise he sees the steamed bun spread with hot glutinous rice shrimp balls newly out of the pot, he knows to take his small bowl and take a dollar and run there, There are a few others, mostly related to eating, but that's about it. may have only used the face value of one yuan, and Mao Mao's favorite money is one yuan, Chen Anxiu once tried to put a bunch of money on the table for him to pick, of which ten yuan and fifty hundred were picked up, and Mao Mao picked up the one yuan face value in it, and also took two fifty ones, and then picked them up and took a look, and threw out the fifty ones. As for the rest, he didn't even move. His move made the whole family laugh, and even praised the rain, our realm is high, so big you know that the money is enough, and more is a burden.
But it may be that the realm is too high, and the direct result is that this year's New Year's money was deceived by his father, and he was born by risking himself, and it has been three years, the first year was spent in the Ji family, when he was still a little baby who was wrapped in swaddling clothes less than half a year old, and the New Year's money given by the elders was directly ignored and handed to the two fathers in the family. When he grew up a little in the second year, he could finally see the New Year's money, but most of them were just dangling in front of his eyes, and the two fathers who finally took over, this year is the third year, and he can finally touch the money, but this time he didn't cover the heat in his hands, and he was exchanged by his father for a dollar. But Chen Anxiu can't be blamed for this, because the most enthusiastic and active about this is to take risks with himself.
Chen Anxiu and they are in Beijing for the New Year this year, there is nothing to hide about this matter, and almost everyone who should know knows it, so relatives and friends come to pay New Year's greetings, and they will prepare a red envelope for their children to do New Year's money. Therefore, the New Year's money given by everyone is tons, and there are counterfeits, and the amount of money is the same. Tons and tons are bigger, his New Year's money Chen Anxiu is handed over to him to take care of himself, just so much, the money can't be recognized, Chen Anxiu naturally can't hand it over to him, as for how to get it is to pay attention to the method, hard robbery is definitely not good, take this person, whether you like it or not, as long as it is his thing, whoever robs him and who is angry (except for my brother), then the rest is to discuss it well, Chen Anxiu proposed one yuan for a red envelope, Mao Mao was very happy, at first his father took the initiative to change him, and then it was, When he received the red envelope of New Year's money, he ran to exchange it with his father. Don't change? Reluctant!! In this way, he used all his New Year's money to exchange more than 30 yuan with his father one after another.
The first time I had such a huge sum of money, I was so happy that I was so happy, in addition to often taking it out to show off with my family, but whenever I went out, I must carry his bear bag with money. Counting in his mouth to buy this, to buy that, listening to his tone, this more than thirty yuan is enough to buy the whole world.
On this day, the old man of the Zhang family had just finished feeding breakfast, and when he saw that he was about to go out again, he didn't stop him, but just carried the person back to the house and went from the inside to the outside, and then he carried the person all the way to the gate of the courtyard and let the person down.
Mao Mao landed on his feet, and before leaving, he shook his little chubby paw with his grandfather decently, "Grandpa, bye-bye." ”
The old man of the Zhang family asked him, "Mao Mao, when will you come back?" ”
You don't have to think about it, you just open your mouth and come, "A hundred days." ”
The old man smiled, there was progress, he used to ask, he always answered that he wanted to be a family or could find it, looking for grandma, in a word, he didn't come back. The old man motioned to the two who followed him to take care of the child, watched him stagger south, and finally stopped at the intersection where the ton of cars turned and left as usual, squatted in the middle of the street for a while as usual, and then got up and turned to the small teahouse at the mouth of the alley to squander a huge amount of money. 166 Reading Network
