Chapter X
Chen Chong woke up to the laughter of his two little nieces, and he slept late last night, lying in bed and thinking about a lot of things from the past, and some things some people have to let go.
Two nieces got into his bed and huddled with him on a bed, and they were holding a fairy tale book for him to read to them. One pillowed his arm on the side, and he listened attentively. When he was 30 years old, his eldest sister asked him if he liked boys or girls when he got married in the future. He didn't think about it, "It's better to be a girl." ”
Chen Chong's father's family of five brothers and three sisters had a total of eight children, and at that time the family was a family of more than a dozen people, and there was an old saying that said: "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads and feed your children with many trees." "Chen's father is the third in line, and the first child of the two older brothers above is a boy, and only his first child is a daughter. Chen Chong's grandmother was reluctant, and privately said that Chen's mother was not angry. Chen's mother was angry, and she fought for a son in one breath.
When Chen Chong's generation implemented the family planning reform, Chen Chong's second sister and Chen Chong both belonged to the superbirth, and the Chen family was poor, and Chen's mother hid with the child to Chen Chong's aunt's house for fear of fines. Chen Chong was born in the warehouse of a relative's house in his aunt's family.
Although Chen Chong is the youngest son in the family, he has suffered a lot since he was born. When Chen's mother was pregnant with him, she hid from the people who planned it. Later, he still didn't escape, Chen Chong's uncle was the director of the village, and for fear of pulling his uncle back, Chen Chong's grandmother forced Chen Chong's father to pay the money.
In the end, Chen's father was forced to borrow money and pay the fine. At that time, all the people in the family who could pay their debts paid their debts. When I got married, my aunt accompanied me with furniture, tape recorders, washing machines, flashlights, bicycles, and in the end, only bicycles and flashlights remained. It was that bicycle that started Chen's father's tofu career for half of his life.
plus the three girls in the two sisters' family, there are only two men in this family, Chen Chong and his father, Chen Chong thought to himself that it would be nice if he also had a daughter.
Chen Li knocked on the door and came in to ask her brother to eat, the two girls were lying on Chen Chong's bed and refused to get up, she carried them out of Chen Chong's room with one hand and forcibly carried them out. The two girls howled.
This lively sound echoed in the Chen family's two-story building......
After breakfast, Yu Feng brought his family over to pay New Year's greetings, and proposed to go to the town to take a sauna together. Chen's mother said that we would be together when the second aunt came back. Missing someone is not like that.
Yu Feng and his old father stayed and played mahjong with their second brother-in-law, Chen's father, the women arranged their meals, and Chen Chong went out for a walk alone.
There was no snow on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and a heavy snowfall a year ago had long been blown away by the wind. On the field in the distance, there were still scattered snowflakes on the corn stalks, Chen Chong walked alone, when he was a child, the whole village, farmland, and trees were covered with snow in winter. Sometimes, as soon as you open the door, you can see trees hanging all over the place. At that time, I built a snowman with my classmates, had a snowball fight, ran wildly on the playground, and I didn't feel cold, and the heat I exhaled was warm.
Now the snow is getting less and less, the winter is getting warmer and warmer, and he is getting older day by day, but the memories of his childhood can always evoke the softness of his heart.
He took out his mobile phone, thinking that Ma Dongmei's blessing this morning had not been replied to, and Ma Dongmei only sent his blessing on the first day of the new year every year. She always has her own reasons, Chinese New Year's Eve is surrounded by a bunch of blessings, and she can receive her first blessing on the first day of junior high school, which is special and special.
She is a special person, but she is also a special person, at least in his heart.
Ma Dongmei received his reply and immediately replied to the message: "So idle, don't have to accompany your family?" ”
Chen Chong smiled, "It's all in pairs, just me, come out to relax." ”
"Yo, I still know that I'm lonely, what did I do earlier?"
Ma Dongmei was afraid to say that his heart was on the road, and the New Year made him sad, and then replied, "Chongzi, put it down." ”
"Okay, there is someone who likes to introduce me to ......"
Ma Dongmei couldn't believe her eyes, Chen Chong actually asked him to introduce the object, he really let it go, and only she knew how determined he was to finally think about it.
After Yang Huan woke up, she lay on the quilt and scrolled Weibo, and her mother called her several times, but she couldn't get up. In the end, the old lady had no choice but to lift the quilt. Yang Huan had to get up.
"Mom, why don't you go out to play mahjong today?"
"You just think your mom and I'm in the way of you, right? I thought I was really willing to care about you, if it weren't for Yu Feng's family going to Chen Chong's house, I would have gone to play mahjong a long time ago. ”
"Then you're not itching?" Yang Huan's hippie smile.
"Hurry up and wash your face, the door is still not out? I went to your aunt's house for dinner in the evening, and your uncle called me this morning. ”
"Got it," Yang Huan put down his phone and went to wash his face. After eating, she lay on the kang and looked at her mobile phone, and her mother shook her head helplessly.
Yang Huan clicked into Chen Chong's WeChat homepage, the cover is the night view of the Bund, the Oriental Pearl is particularly conspicuous, the surrounding buildings are shining in the light, as if made of gold, the lights are bright, the flickering neon, they seem to tell the history of Shanghai, but also witness a pair of lovers love and hate......
Yang Huan has never been to Shanghai, and has never longed for this metropolis of China's financial center, economy, transportation and technology. However, at this moment, she has a trace of yearning, and she also wants to follow the road he has walked, to see the Bund, and appreciate the prosperity of the city for the next century.
Chen Chong did not update the circle of friends, and his news was still a Chongxin propaganda link that he had forwarded before. He seems to have very little access to the Internet, and there are very few updates in his circle of friends. Most of his figure still appeared in Feng's circle of friends.
At dinner, Yang Huan went to the uncle's house, the uncle's family was large, and there were a few tables, Yang Huan and the eldest mother, the mother, the sisters, and the children sat at a table, and the words of the uncles next door came in.
"The old Chen family is getting better and better every year. I heard that the factories have been built in Changchun, and they will be able to go out of the province after a few years. ”
"Yes, who would have thought that Chen Zhihe is such an honest person, and the children he gives birth to are all angry."
"Chen Chong, this kid, is also a character, he was a small welder back then, and now he has made such a big mess."
"It's just that I'm not married, I secretly asked Taifeng his father, the old man didn't say anything, I said that there was something wrong with it, the old man was still anxious with me."
Yang Huan also became angry when he heard these unpopular words.
"It's not that easy to do business, and it's not good to be black and white. Chen Chong's business is so big, it is difficult to move an inch if the relationship is not clear. ”
Yang Huan was shocked when he heard this, he knew that Chen Chong's career today was not so easy, and the hardships behind him were twice as much or even more than others. There is also some truth in the dialogue between the father and the uncles, Chen Chong is dominant in Songyuan, and there must be many people behind him. But fortunately, he is standing, and fortunately, he has survived. He is like a legend in the eyes of outsiders, and his life is also speculated by all kinds of speculation.
But Yang Huan knew that Chen Chong was just Chen Chong, the gentle, humble, and gentle Chen Chong.
The hardships of the past, the past events, the hardships of the past do not have to be communicated with outsiders......
