Chapter 177: The Pride of Parents

The two reluctantly said goodbye. At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Chao drove home directly from the Beijing-Guangzhou Expressway.

On the Beijing-Guangzhou Expressway, a large number of migrant workers rode motorcycles home, and they formed a huge army of motorcycles, like migrating antelopes, gathered together and set off towards their hometowns.

On the way home, Li Chao's mood is very happy, he hasn't seen his family for more than a year, this time he can go back to have a good reunion, feel the warmth of his relatives, enjoy the familiar scenery of his hometown, taste the food flavor of his hometown, and think about it.

After driving on the highway for more than six hours, Li Chao got off at half past four in the afternoon at the Ganxian service station, which is Li Chao's hometown in Ganxian County, Anji City, Xijiang Province.

Not many people know when it comes to Anji City, but when it comes to Jinggang Mountain, it can be regarded as well-known in China. Jinggang Mountain is located in Anji City. It is conceivable that Ganxian County is the first old area, with inconvenient transportation and backward economy, and most of the people here have low incomes and low living standards.

Li Chao drove through the county seat, then took the country road, and came to Lixi Town. The town of Lixi sits on the bank of a small stream, and an east-west road runs through the street, and the creek ends in the street.

There is a stone arch bridge on the creek, and there is a scrap shop on the left under the stone arch bridge, which is Li Chao's home.

In addition to farming, Li Chao's parents also opened this waste goods repurchase shop in Lixi Town, doing a small business of scrap purchase, and trying to make money to support their three children to study.

Li Chao drove a Mercedes-Benz to the scrap shop, and the neighbors who were standing next to him chatting saw a luxury Mercedes-Benz coming, and they all praised it.

"Which family is this who made a lot of money outside, and Mercedes-Benz drove home."

"Now I can't live a long life, and I have made a lot of money by running factories and companies outside."

"This car looks good, how do you drive in front of the scrap shop? It's not to sell scrap, is it? ”……

When Li Chao opened the car door and walked out of the car, the surrounding neighbors were excited.

"Isn't this Shinka's eldest son? It's only been two years since I graduated, and I bought a Mercedes-Benz at once, what kind of good job did I find? ”

"Yes, that's Li Chao, I haven't seen him for just a year, I didn't expect him to be developed."

"Last year, he went home for the New Year and came back by train, but I didn't expect it to be so rich that he even bought a Mercedes-Benz!" ……

Li Chao parked the car on the left side of the street, got out of the car and walked out. Under the street is a vacant land of more than 200 square meters, and the vacant land is a large warehouse covering an area of more than 800 square meters, and there is a one-story bungalow in front of the big warehouse, about 100 square meters.

Li Chao walked down the street and stepped into the clearing, which was littered with all kinds of waste, including old bags, rotten bicycles, and rotten shoes and tires.

Through these waste products, there is a bungalow of about 100 square meters, which is the living area of Li Chao's family. On the right side of the bungalow, a road nearly 10 meters wide passes through a large warehouse covering an area of more than 800 square meters.

The bungalow is in front of the warehouse, and the bungalow was built on the warehouse during the construction, which is convenient for living and living.

These are the places where Li Chao's parents recycle waste, when Li Chao came in, his mother Long Lanhua was looking at the scales, recording the weight of the waste, and she had lost a lot of weight after not seeing her mother for a year, and the white hair on her temples had increased a lot.

Father Li Xinhua, with a messy hair, was in a scrap iron pile, laboriously stacking scrap iron.

Today is the 25th of December in the lunar calendar, and it is not good to do waste business, the closer it is to the New Year, because every family has to clean, there are more people than usual to sell scrap. Li Chao's parents couldn't close the door even if they didn't want to collect waste at this time.

Looking at his parents who were struggling to make a living in the scrap heap, Li Chao's eyes were a little moist, and he shouted excitedly: "Mom, Dad, I'm back!" ”

The parents, who were busy, hurriedly stopped what they were doing when they heard the sound, raised their heads and saw Li Chao coming back, and immediately walked over excitedly.

Mother looked at Li Chao carefully and said with relief: "Yes, this year's complexion has changed for the better." ”

The father stood aside and asked with concern: "Well, Shun Lì rushed back, what are you doing in Shenpeng?" ”

Li Chao smiled heartily and said with relief: "Dad, don't worry, I am a lawyer in Shenpeng, which has opened up some situations and made some money." I'll tell you more about the specific situation when you take back the scrap. ”

As he spoke, Li Chao rolled up his sleeves and said loudly: "Mom, I'll help you weigh the waste." ”

Seeing that her well-dressed son in a suit and leather shoes was coming to help, Long Lanhua refused with a smile: "I don't need you, you will stain your clothes if you come here." There is only one last scrap left, and it will be put away immediately.

Your younger siblings are cleaning, so you can take them with you to clean up. ”

The younger brothers and sisters who were cleaning in the bungalow heard the movement in the warehouse and hurriedly ran out, and when they saw Li Chao, they immediately shouted excitedly: "Brother, you're back!" ”

His younger brother Li Liang is a fourth-year student majoring in mechanical engineering at the School of Engineering of Sogang University this year, and he will graduate soon after the New Year. My younger sister Li Meng is a third-year student majoring in clinical medicine at Beihu Medical University, and she will graduate in another year.

The three brothers and sisters are all genetically similar and are all very tall. The younger brother is 1.78 meters tall, and his facial features are similar to Li Chao, especially rare is that he has a pair of delicate sword eyebrows, which looks particularly heroic.

Sister Li Meng is 1.65 meters tall, she is a girl who loves to laugh, she laughs very cutely, her eyes are big and bright, as if she can speak, because she is cheerful and outgoing, with a little baby fat, slightly fat.

Seeing his younger brothers and sisters, Li Chao smiled and asked, "You guys came back early." When did you come back? ”

Younger brother Li Liang said with a smile; "It didn't take long for us to come back, by the way, brother, when you arrived at the train station, why didn't you call home? I'll drive a tricycle to pick you up. ”

Li Chao explained with a smile: "No need, I'm driving ...... this year"

Before Li Chao finished speaking, the neighbors who liked to be lively around him had already hurriedly walked over, and said loudly as they walked: "Tsk, Xinhua, it's amazing, your son is developed, and he drove a Mercedes-Benz back." ”

"Yes, yes, Xinhua, your cub drives millions of Mercedes-Benzes, what kind of job are you looking for, and it will be developed all of a sudden."

"Li Chao, come out and talk about it, why did you make so much money all at once." ……

The countryside is a society of acquaintances, and if a family is a little moved, it will immediately usher in the eager attention of the surrounding area. Unlike big cities, each is busy making its own money, and has no mind to meddle with other people's affairs.

So Li Chao drove back in a Mercedes-Benz, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the neighbors came to ask about the situation.

The parents and younger siblings were surprised when they heard this, and looked at Li Chao in surprise.

Sister Li Meng has the most lively temperament, and immediately asked with a happy smile: "Brother, are you really developed?" Driving a Mercedes back? ”

Li Chao smiled and said to his sister: "Yes, I made some money as a lawyer and bought a Mercedes-Benz." I'll take you for a ride. ”

Li Meng smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, good!" Brother, you graduated, you really made money, it's good to be able to buy Mercedes-Benz. ”

Li Chao smiled, and before he had time to elaborate, he was already surrounded by the neighbors asking questions. Li Chao took out the cloud smoke that had been prepared a long time ago and scattered it for the neighbors.

After the neighbors took the cigarette, they praised: "Oh, Li Chao, you are really mixed up, even the cigarettes are so good." ”

"That's right, I'm also quite stylish, and I look like a big boss."

"Li Chao, what are you doing in Shenpeng, why are you so profitable?" ……

Li Chao said in a low-key manner: "What kind of money do you make, I am a lawyer in Shenpeng, and being a lawyer needs face the most, and buying a Mercedes-Benz to decorate your face is just a loan." There is no money to be a lawyer, just to save face. ”

Li Chao told a white lie and kept a low profile and modesty, so as not to provoke the neighbors and cause someone to suffer from pink eye.

After making money, you should be as low-key as possible in the face of your former neighbors, otherwise it is easy to be said that your tail is so proud that you are in the sky.

Li Chao's modesty was exchanged for more praise.

"It's rare to be so humble when you're rich."

"Li Chao, you have always been so modest, you used to study and have good academic performance, but I didn't expect to make money after work."

"Li Chao, take us to see the car, I have never seen such a good car."

As soon as the mention of looking at the car was proposed, everyone immediately joined in, and everyone wanted to see the car.

Li Chao saw the eager expressions of his parents and younger siblings, and immediately said happily: "Okay, have your parents finished collecting the waste?" Let's take a look. ”

The old watch, who sold scraps, threw all the last scraps into the scrap heap, and said with great interest: "After collecting it, Xinhua and Orchid hurry up to see your son's luxury car." ”

The parents nodded excitedly and walked towards the street, and the younger brothers and sisters followed Li Chao happily, especially the younger sister Li Meng's eyes were shining and happy.

Li Xinhua saw that a Mercedes-Benz was really parked on the street in front of the scrap shop, and a happy smile appeared on his face, it seems that his son has really made money, how can he afford to buy a Mercedes-Benz.

Long Lanhua is also smiling and happy, her son can make money to buy a car, which is really good news for her.

The younger brother is a mechanic, touched the shell of the Mercedes-Benz, nodded with satisfaction: "The steel and plastic plates used in this frame are all high-quality materials. ”

Li Chao pressed the switch and opened the car door, and his sister Li Meng jumped directly into the car, sat on the back seat and jumped a few times, and praised with a smile: "Brother, this car is so comfortable to sit in!" ”

Other neighbors also touched the shell of the car, looked at the cab, and sat in to feel the comfort of the seat like Li Meng, and even sat directly on the driver's seat, played with the steering wheel, stepped on the foot brake, and felt the feeling of driving a Mercedes-Benz.

Everyone was talking about the car.

"Good car, it looks high-end and high-grade."

"Well, it's really comfortable to sit on, Li Chao, you can afford such a car, it's really amazing."

"Yes, it's a good car at first glance, and it costs 1.8 million yuan." ……

Li Chao replied truthfully: "It doesn't need to be so expensive, the naked car only costs a little more than 800,000." ”

immediately caused an exclamation, "Oh, it costs more than 800,000 yuan, and it is said that it has not made any money." I don't have the money to buy such an expensive car! ”

"More than 800,000, I can't imagine it, we can't even afford a house of 300,000 or 400,000 yuan, I can't imagine that Li Chao can buy a car for more than 800,000 yuan."

"Xinhua, Orchid, you are bitter, you used to be for three college students to study, and life was hard. Now that the eldest son earns so much money as soon as he graduates, life will get better and better. ”

"That's right, Xinhua and Orchid, you have come out of the way, your children have become successful, and the eldest son is so good at making money, and the future will be better and better."

The neighbors admired and blessed it, which made Li Chao's parents feel sweet in their hearts. R1152
