Chapter Eighty-Five: Coming Home
"Then I'm going to buy something to drink, shall I?" Wang Qiang then asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Okay, just buy a few bottles of water?" Chen Haitao thought for a while and said.
Wang Qiang turned around to buy water, and there was a small shop next to the station, which was not very far. When Wang Qiang came back from buying water, he saw that his uncle Chen Haipeng had already bought a ticket and was waiting for him with his uncle and aunt.
Wang Qiang stepped forward and gave everyone a bottle of mineral water in his hand.
"Let's go, get on the bus" Chen Haipeng took the water given by Wang Qiang and shook the ticket in his hand.
The four of them went to the entrance from the ticket hall, and after entering, because the bus to Xinghua Town runs every half an hour, there has always been a car, so they directly checked in the bus.
When he got to the bus, Wang Qiang found that there were not many people, Chen Haitao and his girlfriend Xu Jiaying sat together, Wang Qiang and his uncle sat together, but the seat was behind the uncle.
"Uncle, how did you and your aunt meet" Wang Qiang sat down and immediately asked. He was puzzled that his uncle didn't find a Russian girl in Russia, but brought back a Chinese girl.
Chen Haitao turned his head, looked at the eldest brother and nephew with a questioning face, smiled and said: "Your aunt is a graduate student in Russia, and I went there to do business, so she worked as a translator for me. ”
Before Chen Haitao finished speaking, Xu Jiaying gave him a powder fist and said, "What are you bragging?"
Chen Haitao smiled and did not refute.
"When I went to Russia the year before last for graduate school, I got up one morning to go to the store and queue up to buy bread, and on the way back I was robbed by someone. At that time, I was very scared, and at this time, your brother-in-law happened to pass by and saved me. He just wanted to hire a temporary translator, and I knew a little Russian, so I just helped him," Xu said.
As she spoke, a sweet smile appeared on Xu Jiaying's face, which showed that she did not regard the robbery as a terrible thing, but as a beautiful experience.
Although Xu Jiaying spoke more generally, Wang Qiang can also come out, and the uncle must have recruited a temporary translator and turned it into a long-term translator, and then approached the water.
There are regulations on the departure time of the bus, Wang Qiang and the others waited for less than 20 minutes, and the car slowly drove out of the bus station, at which time the whole bus was already full of passengers.
Xinghua Town is nearly 100 kilometers away from Anxi City, and it takes an hour and a half to go back by high-speed, and the car from the railway station to Xinghua Town does not get on the highway, and it takes nearly three hours to return to Xinghua Town.
Wang Qiang did not take the car home, but followed his uncles to get off the bus in Chenjiagou.
When I got home, it was almost noon, and my grandfather was very happy that my uncle had suddenly returned. They were surprised by the girlfriend that their uncle suddenly brought back, but they still warmly entertained their uncle's girlfriend.
After a simple greeting from the family in the room, grandpa Chen Chengcheng called his brother-in-law Chen Haitao out, probably to let his brother-in-law explain about his girlfriend.
Wang Qiang didn't go out to eavesdrop on the conversation between his grandfather and his uncle, but from the happy smile of his grandfather after he entered the room again, he should be more satisfied with his aunt.
Grandpa came in and sat for a while, then turned around and walked out again, and when he went out, he called grandma and said that he was going to make lunch for a few people.
After lunch, my brother-in-law led his girlfriend out, saying that he wanted her to see where she had grown up before.
Only grandparents, uncle Chen Haipeng, and Wang Qiang himself are left in the family.
"Tell me, Haipeng, did you already know?" asked Grandpa, sitting on the kang against the wall.
"Hmm," Chen Haipeng nodded.
"You guys are getting better and better now, you don't even say a word to me and your mother in advance, people suddenly come to the door, making us very passive" Grandpa glared at his uncle Chen Haipeng and said.
Grandpa used to work in a government unit, and later joined a state-owned enterprise, but the enterprise was in a recession and he was just laid off a few years ago.
Grandma was a traditional housewife who centered everything around her husband and children at home, and did not speak on the side.
"Dad, it's me who is wrong. I only know that Haitao has a girlfriend in Russia, and I just heard Haitao say the others, maybe not as much as you know," Chen Haipeng explained in a low voice.
"Forget it, there's no point in talking about it now. Haitao and his girlfriend came to our house for the first time, and it is about to be the New Year, is it time to give someone a red envelope" Grandpa turned sideways to make himself lie more comfortable, and said.
"It should be given" Chen Haipeng nodded and said, "I just don't know how much is appropriate?"
"Give a thousand, the first time we came to the door, we are not familiar with others, we will not ask for more, and if we give less, we will be stingy" Chen Chengcheng raised his head and thought about it, and said.
"Yes," Chen Haipeng said.
"You can just pay for it, I don't have that much cash here," said Grandpa looking at his uncle Chen Haipeng.
Uncle Chen Haipeng shook his head with a smile, took out a stack of banknotes from his body, counted a thousand yuan and handed it to his grandfather, and said, "Dad, you keep your money for yourself, and I will honor you with this money."
"Okay, I'll take this thousand yuan" Grandpa took the money from his uncle and handed it to grandma, saying, "You take this money, wait a while, the children will come back, you give it to Xu Jiaying."
When the uncle and aunt came back, the grandmother handed the money to Xu Jiaying, saying that it was a red envelope for the first time, but Xu Jiaying couldn't shirk it, so she had to look at her uncle.
Uncle Chen Haitao smiled and said: "My mother gave it to you, you can take it, and become her daughter-in-law in the future, just honor her."
"I know how to talk nonsense" Xu Jiaying glared at her brother-in-law and took the money from her grandmother's hand.
In the evening, Wang Qiang went to the coal yard with his uncle Chen Haipeng, and the uncle and his girlfriend lived in Chenjiagou's house.
The next day, Wang Qiang had breakfast, and his uncle led his girlfriend to the coal yard.
The eldest aunt probably also knew that they were coming, and prepared a red envelope for her.
Yesterday, I already received my grandmother's red envelope, and my aunt didn't shirk it today, knowing that this is a local custom.
The two of them stayed in the coal yard for more than two hours, and the brother-in-law Chen Haitao got up and said to the uncle and aunt: "Brother, sister-in-law, let's go first, I plan to go to our sister's place today."
Wang Qiang heard that his uncle was going to his house, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, I'll go back with you."
"Okay, let's go together," Chen Haitao said with a smile.
"Wang Qiang, you just stay here for a few more days, what are you doing in a hurry to go back," Chen Haipeng said.
"Uncle, I've been out for three days, I have to go back quickly, the school hasn't officially closed yet, and I have to go to the school to get a report card or something," Wang Qiang said.
When Chen Haipeng heard this, he didn't persuade him again, and in his heart, his nephew's study must be more important.
When he arrived in the town, Wang Qiang brought his uncle and aunt to the Hello Supermarket.
"I just heard from your uncle that he opened a supermarket, but I didn't expect it to be so big?" Chen Haitao went to the supermarket to take a look and came out and said.
Chen Haitao has not been back for nearly a year, and most of his knowledge of the situation at home is from the phone.
The three of them took a detour to the back of the supermarket, which had steps to go upstairs.
"Mom, my brother-in-law and aunt are here!" Before he could go upstairs, Wang Qiang shouted upstairs.
Usually, if there is nothing wrong with the supermarket, her mother Chen Shuyi is usually in the office on the second floor to watch the surveillance.
