Chapter 80: It's Good to Be Home
Wealth does not return to the hometown, just like a brocade at night; This is the truth that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, has said thousands of years ago, and it is the same for Qi Ping now. There is not much to show off, but people live with a face, even if they don't think about themselves, they need to take into account the feelings of their parents.
For parents, what they are showing off a lot of the time is their children's achievements; Qi Ping is out now, of course, he also needs to make his parents happy.
In fact, the current Qi Ping's parents have been envious too much, and in the first half of the year, Qi Ping's family suddenly built a small western-style building; Unlike those ordinary buildings in the countryside, this is a small western-style building in the real sense, which looks like a small villa, which also makes the Qi Ping family suddenly become the object of discussion in the village.
In the past, there were two boys in the Qi Ping family, which seemed to many people to be a huge burden; Raising a boy is not simple, studying and buying a house, this is a huge pressure, at least for Qi Ping's parents. In particular, Qi Ping and his elder brother are both in college, which is naturally a greater burden.
Maybe in the past, the people in the village were envious of the two college students in Qiping's family, and some people said that it was useless to study, and there are too many college students now; Just look at Qi Ping's house, even if there are two college students, but the family is still a small bungalow, you must know that basically every household in the village is a building.
And now, everyone in the village knows that Qi Ping is really promising; I heard that he made a lot of money in the United States, built a house for his family, and took out millions of dollars to pay off the mortgage for his brother. And Qi Ping's parents are also online now, and what they often see are some photos of Qi Ping in the United States; Although not all the people in the village know how to drive, the younger people say that Qi Ping now drives millions of cars.
"The gringos are returning to China to visit their relatives?" Watching Qi Ping come back with a big bag and a small bag, there were villagers joking when he just arrived at the entrance of the village.
"What a gringo, I'm just begging for food in the United States. I'm still a Chinese national, don't talk nonsense. Qi Ping said half-truthfully, he is now getting a green card, but he is still a Chinese national; These things are also too lazy to explain, which is also troublesome. "I brought back a little cigarette, and the second uncle opened the foreign meat."
opened a cigarette, Marlboro; Although there are these cigarettes in China, there are not many of them, and they are not necessarily very good cigarettes. I don't care about the price, but in fact, when I entered the country, I paid a lot of tariffs for these cigarettes, and I brought a lot of them. A little smoke was scattered, which means to be polite.
Seeing his fat nephew sitting in front of his house riding an inflatable pony playing a game, Qi Ping laughed; The little guy now seems to be at home like a fish in water, and when he sees Xiao Xi (uncle) coming back, the little guy stays for a while and seems to be unable to react, and then he runs home with a smoke.
"Grandpa, grandma, Xiao Xiao is back!"
Qi Ping laughed, where is the fat nephew still using the loud propaganda here, the village is so big, and a little movement has already spread from the east to the west.
"I heard your boss say that you still have to be busy for two days, and you won't make a call in advance when you come back, and you should have asked your father to cut some pork and come back." Yu Lan complained a little, she knew that her kid liked to eat braised pork.
"I'm not a guest, and I'm still saying hello in advance." Qi Ping put down the big bag and small bag, he hadn't been home for a long time, he was really homesick, "My little nephew still looks a little recognizable, some time ago he was still a little affectionate, and he didn't know anyone when he came back." ”
Qi Weihui, who was holding his grandson, laughed, and the little grandson was really a little recognizable; When I'm at home, I'm always talking about Xiaoyi, but now I see Xiaoxiao who still recognizes life and is a little shy.
Lying in his grandfather's arms, Ben Ben worked hard to pretend to be an ostrich, Xiao Ben is a big villain, and he likes to pinch Benben's little face. Although Ben Ben is still a little recognizable now, he soon became intimate with Xiao Ni; Lai was talking in Xiao Xi's arms, and he was also asking Xiao Xiao for these fun new toys.
It's also a good thing to have a clingy fat nephew, but Qi Ping hasn't taken a good look at the house yet, after all, it's a new house, and it hasn't been built for long. But now it's good, the fat nephew just recognized Xiao Ni, and this asked Xiao Ni to drive a remote control small tank with him to show off his might.
It feels so good to be back home, especially eating the food cooked by my mother, which makes Qi Ping's appetite even greater; Qi Ping's own appetite is not small, coupled with this period of practice, although his physical fitness is constantly improving, he also needs more food supplements, this is a super big stomach.
"If we hadn't gone to the United States to see how well you were doing, I would have thought that you couldn't even eat abroad, you used to be able to eat, but it wasn't like you can't eat as much as you do now." Qi Weihui smiled and watched his youngest son eat three bowls of rice in a row, and said jokingly.
"Your son will feel distressed when he eats some food, right, the child is still growing his body, and it is a good thing to be able to eat! He began to eat in his junior year, and his appetite was not a little smaller until his sophomore year. It's a good thing to be able to eat, half the size eats the poor, the family is in good condition now, and I'm not afraid to eat. Yu Lan smiled and put the braised fish and braised pork in front of Qi Ping, seeing that her child had a good appetite, Yu Lan was naturally the happiest.
Qi Ping smiled and didn't talk much, life at home is actually the most comfortable; chatting about family life and enjoying these short topics in the parents, this also made Qi Ping feel more comfortable and comfortable than ever. In the past, he may not have understood this, but when it was time to go out to study and work, Qi Ping had already understood that life at home was really beautiful.
"You shouldn't be back for long this time, right?" Although the youngest son went home to make Qi Weihui happy, he also knew that the youngest son now had his own career, especially now that the youngest son's career was getting better and better, he would not tie Qi Ping to his side because he thought that the youngest son was by his side.
"I'll be at home for about three days, and this time I'll come back to take a look. I told the boss that you would go to the United States together at Christmas, and Christmas over there would be a real original, and we would go to see the lively festival together. Qi Ping also knows that it is of course a good thing to be together as a family, and it is naturally more flavorful to encounter some interesting festivals.
"That's fine, let's see the excitement together when the time comes. Now young people in China also like these foreign festivals, but I heard that the atmosphere of foreign festivals in Lao Mei is different. Because the youngest son is in the United States, Yu Lan and Qi Weihui are now looking at some festivals or some customs and customs in the United States from time to time.
"I heard that there is a big parade of rose carts, which has a long history and is very large, it has been more than 100 years. We spent Christmas and New Year's Day together, so it would be interesting to see if it was going to happen. Qi Ping laughed, these holidays must be very interesting.
"How's your tree farm doing? The forest farm is so good, you have to do a good job. Qi Weihui reminded Qi Ping that young people still have to focus on their careers now, especially when they finally found a good opportunity, "And you are not young, you can consider finding a partner." The best thing to say is to find a Chinese, otherwise we can't understand what the foreign daughter-in-law says. ”
"I really can't help what you say, I just fell in love with an American girl." Qi Ping laughed, he and Kate established a relationship, there is no need to hide it, "I try to teach Kate some Chinese, there should be no reason to speak at all." ”
This time, Qi Ping is no longer concerned, and Kate, who is likely to become a foreign daughter-in-law in the future, is the focus of her parents' concern; For Qi Ping, his parents are still very relieved, they know that Qi Ping can't be a blind person. And seeing that Kate is very beautiful and seems to have a good personality, the foreign daughter-in-law is the foreign daughter-in-law; The children born after being beautiful are also beautiful, and I heard that mixed-race children are not only beautiful but also very smart.
