Chapter 2: Loved ones
It is a short distance from the entrance of the village to Chen Hongyuan's house, and many people have to pass by many people on the way, and many people are a little surprised when they see Zhou Rui following behind Chen Hongyuan.
"Oh, isn't this the Xiao Rui of the old Zhou family?"
"When did you come back? But I haven't seen this baby in some years!"
"The young man is getting more and more handsome!"
"I heard that Xiao Rui is doing big business in southern cities, has he made a lot of money?"
......
Many people greeted Zhou Rui warmly, Zhou Rui smiled and nodded with them, the native of Bahe Village, everyone is very familiar with each other, listening to everyone's words with a strong hometown flavor, Zhou Rui felt a warmth in his heart.
Not long after, a very spacious farm compound appeared in front of the uncle and nephew, the courtyard wall is made of the most ordinary stones, and the dark red courtyard gate looks very badly faded, compared to those who have passed by along the way, although the area of this family is not small, but the overall decoration is much behind, this is Chen Hongyuan's home.
Pushing open the gate and entering the courtyard, he first saw a green vegetable field, and after walking straight forward about fifty meters along the path next to the vegetable field, three stone houses appeared in front of Zhou Rui.
Before entering the door, Chen Hongyuan had already opened his throat and shouted inside: "Parents, come out and see who is back!"
As Chen Hongyuan's words fell, an old woman with a small figure and a slightly chubby body walked out of the room quickly, the old woman looked like she was in her sixties, although a lot of her hair was white, but her body was very healthy, at this moment the old woman was wearing an apron, thinking that she should have been cooking in the kitchen just now, this person was Chen Hongyuan's mother, that is, Zhou Rui's grandmother Miao Guirong.
As soon as he walked out of the room, Miao Guirong saw the tall and thin Zhou Rui almost at a glance, a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and then he walked towards Zhou Rui in ecstasy: "Xiao Rui, are you back?"
"Well, grandma, I'm back!" Zhou Rui hurriedly stepped forward to hold Miao Guirong's hand, seeing that the old man was much older than when he saw him a few years ago, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, but more than happy.
"Oh, you kid, you don't tell us in advance if you want to come back, I haven't prepared any dishes here!" Miao Guirong was very happy, and he didn't let go of Zhou Rui's hand tightly, although Chen Hongyuan also has a son, but compared to his grandson, Miao Guirong loves his nephew more, after all, Zhou Rui was brought up by her since she was a child, and her feelings are deeper.
Miao Guirong was pulling Zhou Rui to touch left and right, and at this time, two people, an old man and a young man, came out from the back of the room.
The old man has a flat head, he is not tall, he should be less than 1.7 meters, his body is very thin, the wrinkles on his face are spread out like waves, his age looks not much older than Miao Guirong, and when he saw Zhou Rui standing in front of Miao Guirong, the old man was also surprised: "Xiao Rui?"
"Grandpa!" Zhou Rui turned his head, saw Chen Qishan, and immediately opened his mouth to call someone.
Chen Qishan is a celebrity in the village, in the era of low general education, Chen Qishan was admitted to a secondary school, specializing in accounting, and was directly assigned to work in the County Fisheries Bureau after graduation, which was a great job in the past, especially in Siping County, a small county, because of his excellent work ability, Chen Qishan gradually established his position as the first accountant in the Fisheries Bureau, if it were not for Chen Qishan's natural indifferent personality, maybe the achievement would be higher, after retirement, the county's largest hotel Tai'an Hotel CEO personally went out of the mountain to ask Chen Qishan to help preside over the hotel accounting work, Chen Qishan went out of the mountain to help do it for five yearsIt wasn't until the hotel had a suitable accountant that he was at home.
However, people in the mountains are always idle, although they stay at home, Chen Qishan is not idle, he usually raises flowers and trees, and does some farm work.
Chen Qishan usually talks very little, and he is a standard science person, but at this moment he will not be stingy to speak, because he is so happy: "When will you come back? Why don't you call us in advance?"
"Hey, hey!" In front of Chen Qishan, Zhou Rui unconsciously revealed his childish personality: "Isn't this trying to surprise everyone!"
In Zhou Rui's heart, Chen Qishan is the object he has admired since he was a child!
In Zhou Rui's impression, Chen Qishan has always been a person who is very serious about everything, and he also has his own principles and bottom line, once he decides to do something, even if he breaks through the south wall, he must do it to the end, in his professional field, Chen Qishan is also very powerful, before high school, Zhou Rui's mathematics has always been tutored by Chen Qishan himself.
Treat the children, whether it is his mother and his uncle's generation or him, Chen Qishan is quite patient, as long as it is what the children want to do, Chen Qishan will do his best to satisfy, Zhou Rui until now remembers that when he was a child, he wanted to eat a small snack in the middle of the night, Chen Qishan immediately got up and touched the scene of carrying him to buy it in the night.
Seeing the young man following behind Chen Qishan at a glance, Zhou Rui was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Isn't this Xiaofei? Isn't this Xiaofei? Aren't you supposed to be at school now today? Why are you at home?"
"Brother!" The Xiao Fei in Zhou Rui's mouth was Chen Hongyuan's son Chen Fei, who was twelve years younger than him.
Over the years, Chen Hongyuan has been working as a boiler worker in a chemical factory in the county, working hard and not paying well, plus Chen Hongyuan is a rough man by nature, he will not shout at his wife, and he was disgusted by his wife Zhao Hong.
Zhou Rui already knew about this, but he didn't expect to see Chen Fei at his grandmother's house in the middle of the morning, what made Zhou Rui feel strange was that Chen Fei had always been a very lively and active child in his impression, why did he react so plainly when he saw him now, even if the two hadn't seen each other for a few years, but he had never taken Chen Fei to play before, no matter how Chen Fei shouldn't have this reaction to him!
Hearing Zhou Rui's question, the smiles on Miao Guirong and Chen Qishan's faces froze, and then they sighed in unison.
Glancing at Chen Fei, Chen Hongyuan's face also showed a trace of bitterness: "Hey, Xiao Rui, let's go into the house and talk." ”
Miao Guirong had almost prepared lunch, and when he saw Zhou Rui coming back, he hurriedly went to the vegetable garden to pinch two handfuls of small green vegetables, and Chen Hongyuan took out a jar of liquor made by himself at home, and at this time Miao Guirong also fried the vegetables.
At the dinner table, Chen Hongyuan poured a bowl of wine for Zhou Rui, then filled it for himself, ate two mouthfuls of green vegetables, and did not touch Zhou Rui, but he himself first picked up the bowl and drank the wine in the bowl.
Zhou Rui knew that Chen Hongyuan was going to talk to him about Chen Fei next, so he looked at Chen Hongyuan quietly.
Sure enough, the next moment, Chen Hongyuan pulled his mouth, and then sighed: "Hey, just half a month ago, Xiaofei, this kid was expelled from school!"
"What?" At first glance, when he heard Chen Hongyuan's words, Zhou Rui was shocked.
