Chapter 423: Back to his hometown
The year is approaching, Wang Le is still busy with the company's listing after the year, plus the development of the south after the year, there are many things to prepare, such as industrial planning, the deployment of the company's personnel, and the choice of location, local market conditions and so on.
These things are enough to keep Wang Le busy, so he has no time to do other things at all, and even the housework at home is all taken care of by Ji Ran alone.
Ji Ran understands Wang Le's hard work, so although a person has worked hard, he has never had any complaints.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, Wang Le has no time, Ji Ran had to go to T City alone to pick up his father back, his father has spent a few years alone in his hometown, strange and lonely, Ji Ran really felt a little reluctant to go back to his hometown when he remembered it, originally wanted Wang Le to accompany him back to his hometown to pick him up, so that his father would look better on face, but Wang Le had no time, and Ji Ran had no choice, so he had to go back to his hometown alone.
When Ji Ran drove a red BMW sedan back to the T City community, it immediately attracted the attention of many neighbors, Ji Ran has not been home for a few years, except for a few elderly neighbors who still recognize Ji Ran, the rest of the people seem to have seen Ji Ran for the first time.
Beauty and Xiangche, an excellent match, made many men can't help but stare straight and feast their eyes.
Ji Ran parked the car downstairs, went upstairs alone, didn't go back to his hometown for a few years, his hometown is the same as before, T City is a third-tier city, not to mention compared with Kyoto, even compared with the provincial capital Spring City, it is also a big difference. It has hardly changed much in decades, and when Ji Ran was in high school, he lived in this dilapidated building. I didn't expect that more than ten years later, the buildings are still so dilapidated, and, I have to say, the streets of T City are really bad, especially the road from the train station to Caiyuan Street, which has not been repaired for many years. There are potholes, and when it rains, it is muddy, and you can't even walk. And that is the faΓ§ade of T City, many people who come to T City for tourism, when they see the broken road, they still think that they are in the countryside. It's really a shame for the old T people.
T City is also one of the top 100 cities in the country. I don't know where to use so much GDP every year.
Ji Ran came to the door, the door was wiped clean, and a beautiful blessing word was pasted on it, and the doors and windows were cleaned spotlessly, Ji Ran shook his head with a smile, it seems that his father is ready to spend the New Year alone in his hometown again, otherwise. I wouldn't have cleaned up my home and outside so early.
Ji Ran knocked on the door, and not long after. There was a sound of the door opening inside.
I haven't seen him for a few years, Ji Ran originally thought that his father would be much older, but after seeing his father, he found out that his father had not aged at all, and he was still in good health as before, with black and shiny black hair and a radiant face.
"Dad......" Ji Ran shouted happily.
Father Ji was very surprised and surprised when he saw Ji Ran, "Ran Ran? You're back? β
"Well, Dad, are you alright?" Ji Ran put down his luggage and couldn't wait to hug his father, Ji's father hugged Ji Ran, who was coquettish like a child in his arms, and his heart suddenly warmed, who doesn't want to miss his daughter?
"Okay, okay, huh? What about Xiaobao? Xiaobao didn't come back? Father Ji asked strangely, and went outside to look, but saw nothing.
I haven't seen him for so many years, Dad Ji has long thought about Xiaobao, and this time when he saw Ji Ran coming back, he didn't see Xiaobao, Dad Ji was a little strange.
"Xiaobao is at home, I didn't come." Ji Ran said.
Father Ji was a little unhappy, "What about Xiao Wang?" β
Ji Ran also shook his head regretfully, "Wang Le's company has been busy recently, so I don't have time, I came by myself." β
"Busy, busy, busy all year round, I don't believe that there is no half a day off." Father Ji said a little unhappily.
"Dad, Wang Le is really busy, don't lie to you, his company is about to go public, and he will go to the south to develop after the year, and the things in the company are enough for him to drink a pot, and he only goes home in the middle of the night every night, he really doesn't have time." Ji Ran explained for Wang Le.
When Dad Ji heard this, he was slightly taken aback, "Wang Le's company is going to go public?" It's only been a few years? It's going public? β
Ji Ran smiled and nodded, "Well, although the age is not long, the company is running very well, and now the scale has expanded a lot, and Wang Le is also a well-known figure in the building materials industry in Kyoto." β
Father Ji sighed softly, "I didn't expect Xiao Wang, this kid to be so promising, you must know that he has today, at the beginning, I didn't stop you." β
"Hehe, Dad, Xiao Wang has never blamed you, he understands your mood very well, especially since he had Beibei, Wang Le told me that he understands you better, if he were you, he would not agree to our marriage at the beginning, saying that it was too risky." Ji Ran said with a smile.
Father Ji smiled and nodded, "It's good that Xiao Wang can understand, there is no parent in the world who doesn't want their children to live a good life, unless it's a stepfather and a late mother." β
"By the way, what about your mother? Your mom didn't come back either? Father Ji asked again.
"Well, don't let my mother come back, Beibei is still young, and she still needs my mother to take care of her, and besides, my mother has been busy for a year, don't let her toss back and forth during the New Year, it's not a young age." Ji Ran said.
Dad Ji thought about it and thought it was the same, but when he thought of having to celebrate the New Year alone, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Ji Ran saw that Father Ji's face was a little gloomy, sat down next to Father Ji with a smile, and gently pinched Father Ji's shoulder, "Dad, I came back this time to pick you up for the New Year." β
When Dad Ji heard this, he was slightly stunned, "Take me to the New Year?" β
"Well, let you spend two lonely years at home alone, I feel very sorry not to go, I want to move you over this year, celebrate the New Year with my mother, and have a reunion year." Ji Ran said.
Dad Ji frowned, "No, no, the New Year is all about the old ones with the little ones, how can the old ones go to the New Year for the little ones?" β
When Ji Ran heard this, he was amused, "Dad, why are you still thinking like this?" Isn't it the same everywhere you celebrate the New Year? What's more, now they are all only children, and a husband and wife have to serve four old people, where can they take care of them? Now the Chinese New Year is all old and young. β
Dad Ji thinks there is some truth, but he still can't wipe his face, after all, Dad Ji's ideology is still a little old, he was a bit patriarchal when he was young, and when he got older, he felt that it was very faceless to go to his daughter's house for the New Year, and he didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Ji Ran shook Ji's father's arm a little unhappily, "Dad, why are you still so old and feudal?" You and my mother have raised me a daughter all our lives, is it because I am a daughter, do you rely on it when you are old?
Now the elderly in the big cities have long seen it, sons and daughters are the same, those who have sons will rely on their sons in the future, and those who have daughters will rely on their daughters, who do you not rely on me? β
Father Ji didn't say anything, but his complexion was much better.
"Okay, I told my mother that I would move you over this time no matter what, not to mention that Xiaobao had already missed you, and deliberately took two bottles of Moutai, saying that it was for you to drink during the New Year." Ji Ran said with a smile.
When Dad Ji heard this, he was happy, "This little boy is very filial." β
Ji Ran chatted with Dad Ji for a while, and Dad Ji's mood suddenly improved.
"Seriously, in the past two years, I've never been happier than I am today." Dad Ji said with a smile.
Hearing Ji's father say this, Ji Ran felt guilty in his heart, "Dad, I'm sorry, I have been taking care of your family for the past two years, and I have neglected your old man, and it is my daughter's unfilial piety." β
Father Ji smiled and touched Ji Ran's head, "Silly girl, what are you talking about?" Dad is not an old man, his body is tough, so he doesn't need you to worry so much. β
"Dad, I discussed with Wang Le when I came, Wang Le is going to the south to develop after the year, our house is empty and empty, I want to move you over this time, don't come back, where you are with my mother, and you don't have to worry about each other, Xiaobao will kiss you, he will be happy if you go." Ji Ran rubbed Ji's father and said.
When Father Ji heard this, he quickly shook his head, "No, no, it's Xiao Wang's house, how can I, an old man, rely on my son-in-law's house?" If it spreads, where will my old face go? β
Hearing what Ji's father said, Ji Ran sighed helplessly, "Dad, you're here again, isn't the son-in-law's home the daughter's home?" What's wrong with you living in your daughter's house? β
"No, it's not okay to say anything, either tell me to go for the New Year and come back after the New Year, or I won't go at all." Father Ji said angrily.
Seeing that Ji's father was stubborn again, Ji Ran really had no choice, she knew that as long as her father had a cow's temper, the eight cows would not be able to pull it back, so she had to stop mentioning this matter.
"Okay, you just came back, you're tired, go and rest, I'll cook you some food, and you two have a good drink in the evening." Dad Ji said and took out a bottle of red wine from the back room, the red wine was preserved in a large glass bottle with plastic wrap, almost more than a liter.
Ji Ran looked at Ji's father strangely, "Dad, what kind of wine is this?" β
Father Ji smiled mysteriously, "This is red wine, which was made by your eldest cousin herself." β
When Ji Ran heard this, he felt even more strange, he had never heard that his eldest cousin could make wine, why did he suddenly make wine?
"Your eldest cousin is really a caring person, at such an old age, she actually started to make wine, but don't say it, this wine is delicious, mellow and fragrant, it is made from pure grapes with a little sugar, it is very delicious." Dad Ji treated this bottle of wine as if it was a baby, and said with a smile.
Ji Ran smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll have a good drink with my dad that night." (To be continued......)
