Chapter 632: The Fifth Month
Chu Chen hurriedly said: "Guan Lao, don't worry, if that situation really happens, I will definitely not embarrass you." ”
After all, Guan Guokang is an old-timer, and the two get along well, so he always has to give him some face. Besides, blocking or something, it's only the most extreme case, and it doesn't necessarily mean that others hate you and bring you some trouble, so use such an extreme method as blocking.
However, as I said just now, it's okay for Du Yuncheng to hate him, but if what he does exceeds his bottom line, then don't blame him for being polite.
With the examples of Yu Guangjie and Liu Yu, he also knows the truth that fighting snakes does not die but suffers from them, for the safety of himself and his family, for more dangerous people, he has decided that it must be solved at one time.
With Chu Chen's assurance, Guan Guokang was also relieved, and then the two sides walked while talking, and when they arrived at the parking lot, they said goodbye to each other and left.
Seeing Chu Chen's car go away, Guan Guokang's bodyguard Xiao Xu asked while driving the car, "Guan Lao, who are these two?" ”
"The two of them are surnamed Chu, who do you think it will be?" Guan Guokang smiled slightly.
Xiao Xu racked his brains and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I have been in the army before, I really don't want to say who you are talking about!" ”
"Chu Zhengrong, Chu Lao, you don't know?" Guan Guokang said with a smile.
"Shhh When Xiao Xu heard that it was this Chu Lao, he immediately gasped.
"And Xiao Chu's grandfather, you should also know."
"Who is it?"
"Zhao Renqiang, Old General Zhao!"
Hearing this thunderous name, Xiao Xu was even more shocked and speechless, no wonder Chu Chen said it so easily when he said the ban just now. With these two behemoths as his backing, he blocked a small person. It's really easy.
Guan Guokang sighed and said, "Hey, I didn't think about this matter today. When I get home, I have to call Lao Du and remind him that it will be really fun not to provoke Xiao Chu when he arrives! ”
…………
Early the next morning, Chu Chen got up, first went to look at the black set that was immersed in the special solution, and saw that there was no problem, so he went downstairs.
Today is the fifth day of the first lunar month, commonly known as "breaking five". It is also known as the "taboo needle festival". "Breaking five" means that as long as you work hard and diligently in the new year, you can live a good life. The women were no longer taboo and began to visit each other to congratulate each other for the New Year.
"Breaking Five" is said to be the birthday of the God of Wealth, and the merchants officially resume business. Merchants to celebrate the birthday of the God of Wealth, need to set up "three and a half tables", that is, put the four eight immortal tables together, and fill the three and a half tables of seats, must first have sweet fruits, indicating that the wealth is extensive. Some of these feasts will be set up for a day.
In addition, on this day, there is a custom called "driving out the five poor" in many places. People get up at dawn and set off firecrackers. Cleaning. Firecrackers are set off from inside each house, and they go out the door as they go. It is said that we will blast out a qiē unlucky thing, a qiē demon and a monster, so that they are far away from us. The farther away the better.
So after Chu Chen went downstairs, he followed the whole family and started cleaning. After all, no matter what kind of family you are, you want your family to have a good luck in a year.
According to the old habits. Today I want to eat "water dumplings", which are called "boiled dumplings" in the north. And the old custom in the capital, eating the meat filling of dumplings on the day of "breaking five", you must chop it yourself, and you must chop the vegetable filling yourself, which means that everything that does not go well is chopped up.
However, Chu Chen is not at home for lunch today, because the fifth day of the Lunar New Year is also the day when the bride (the bride who has just married into her husband's family) returns to Ningning.
The so-called Guining is a ritual handed down in ancient times, and it can also be called a guest and a return to a foreign home, which refers to the husband and wife bringing gifts to the woman's home to save relatives and visit.
Although Chu Chen and Wu Ke have not officially married, they are married after all, and both parties have changed their words, plus Wu Ke is still far away, Chu Chen, as a prospective son-in-law, of course, also needs to bring gifts and solemnly visit Uncle Wu's house.
So after cleaning and having breakfast, Chu Chen said to his family, took a large bag of gifts, and drove to Uncle Wu's house.
Because Chu Chen had called in advance, when he drove to the door of Uncle Wu's house, he saw that Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu were already waiting for him at the door of the house.
After the two sides said hello, Chu Chen took down large bags of gifts from the car.
Helping to carry the gifts, Uncle Wu said as he walked: "You kid, why do you buy so many things, it's expensive, and there are few things, it's better to buy some snacks from Daoxiang Village!" ”
Aunt Wu scolded when she heard this: "You talk the most, if Xiaochen is really like you said, what will others say when they see it?" ”
"Let's live ours, what others say, we won't lose a single hair!" Uncle Wu muttered.
That being said, people want to face trees and bark, after all, people are social creatures, and other people's evaluation of themselves is often a very important thing.
Chu Chen smiled and said, "Speaking of Daoxiang Village, Coco told me yesterday that she wanted to eat the bean flour cake made by Mom!" ”
This bean flour cake is what we often call donkey rolling, it is one of the ancient varieties of snacks in Beijing, it looks golden in color, sweet bean filling, soft in the mouth, unique flavor, it is a traditional flavor snack suitable for all ages.
Aunt Wu nagged when she heard this: "This girl, her mouth is greedy again, the last time she came back, she couldn't stop talking at home all day long, and she wasn't afraid of getting fat!" ”
But she said that, after seeing Wu Ke come back, she was like a demon reincarnated, she was really distressed, and as long as Wu Ke ate at home in those days, she tried to make as many delicious dishes as possible. Now thinking that my daughter has to endure hardships in England again, I can't help but feel distressed, so I said:
"Well, aren't you going to England in a few days, and I'll give you something before I leave."
Chu Chen planned to take the plane to England on the 21st of this month, and after accompanying Wu Ke for three days, he would come back for the Lantern Festival, in fact, he originally wanted to accompany Wu Ke for a few more days, but he still had to give the old man's leg acupuncture, and he could only apologize to Wu Ke.
However, Wu Ke is also a reasonable person, and she will not lose her temper in this kind of thing, and for her, Chu Chen can go to her for a few days, and she is already very satisfied in her heart.
"Okay, before I go, I'll come and get a ......"
Entering the house, Chu Chen greeted Grandma Wu cordially, and took out the ingredients of the therapeutic medicinal diet specially prepared for her, and told her how to eat it.
After Chu Chen's introduction, Grandma Wu said: "I said Xiaochen, I said so much, I can't remember it!" ”
"Mom, since you can't remember, why did you keep nodding just now?" Uncle Wu said with a smile and a smile.
"If you don't nod your head, can I still shake my head?" Grandma Wu pursed her lips.
Chu Chen smiled: "Grandma, it doesn't matter if you don't remember, I'll just let my mother cook it for you." ”
Grandma Wu shook her head and said: "This thing is also troublesome, forget it, I have a headache to smell that candle every day, and now there are many of them, it doesn't matter if you eat it or not." ”
Before Chu Chen could speak, Aunt Wu said: "Mom, Xiao Chen is a doctor, he knows more than you, you still have to listen to his arrangement, anyway, this thing is not troublesome to cook, it just takes a little effort." ”
"yes!" Chu Chen also said: "Although that incense candle has the effect of conditioning the body, but this thing is not a panacea after all, although it can suppress your headache, it still can't cure the root cause." And these I brought, as long as you can eat a little bit every day, after half a year, your headache will be able to go to the root. ”
"That's right, then I'll eat it!" When Grandma Wu heard that this was the case, she agreed.
Next, everyone talked about interesting things during the Spring Festival for a while, and when it came to visiting relatives, Aunt Wu showed an expression of wanting to speak and stopping.
Seeing this, Chu Chen hurriedly said: "Mom, we are all a family, if you have anything, just say it." ”
Uncle Wu also said: "That's it, if there is anything bad to say, you are embarrassed to say it, I will help you say it." ”
"I don't want you to say it!" Aunt Wu hurriedly said: "That's the case, isn't there an older brother alive in my hometown, a few days ago, my nephew called and said that my nephew is going to get married on the 8th of next month, so if I have time, I will also go over." ”
"Originally, I had old arms and legs, so I wanted to send a red envelope to the past, but my nephew said on the phone that my brother's health is not very good, and my brother is a relative in my life, as long as I can walk, I always have to go over to see him."
Chu Chen clapped his hands and said, "Hey! I thought something was going on! I'll drive you to the second old man then! ”
"I won't go, my mother will be home alone, I don't worry!" Uncle Wu shook his head and said.
Grandma Wu said: "What's wrong with this, I can cook alone!" ”
"It's not going to work!" Uncle Wu and his wife both shook their heads and disagreed.
Seeing this, Chu Chen made a suggestion: "Grandma, you are so old, I don't feel at ease when you are at home alone, you can come to my house for a few days, do you think it's okay?" And my mom said she missed you the other day! ”
"Yes, Mom, or you can go to Xiaochen's house to live, otherwise I can only stay." Uncle Wu also persuaded.
Grandma Wu thought about it and thought it would be good to go to Chu Chen's house for a few days, so she agreed. In fact, the reason why she agreed so happily was that she felt that Zhao Yunlin was a good person, and after several contacts, she also felt that if she talked to Zhao Yunlin, if she changed to a bad character, she would not want to go over.
Next, Chu Chen and Uncle Wu chatted about antiques, while Aunt Wu and Grandma Wu went to make lunch, and after a while, a strong aroma of vegetables wafted out of the kitchen, causing Chu Chen to almost drool.
When it was time to eat at noon, Chu Chen couldn't wait to sit on the seat he was sitting on, ready to eat.
"Xiao Chen, you have to take a seat today!" Uncle Wu said with a smile. (To be continued......)
