Chapter 33: Returning Home to Visit Family
"By the way, Hongxia, when you go back, you talk to Abin and Lishu, and you apply for personal passports as soon as possible. In a while, we may have to go abroad. Chen Chumo said.
It's still Chu Mo Lu Ziye, there is actually an overseas relationship, Chen Hongxia sighed in his heart. The current Chen Hongxia's worship of Chen Chumo is simply to the point of blind superstition. As long as Chen Chumo said one, he would definitely be able to think of ten.
The real situation is that Chen Chumo is also a turtle, his education is not as high as Chen Hongxia's, and he has no overseas relations.
Two days ago, Chen Chumo wanted Chen Zheng to help him get a driver's license, but was refused. It's not that Chen Zheng is selfless, but that Chen Chumo's ID card is not old enough to handle it. Chen Chumo had no choice but to say that he was late for his household registration, and Chen Zheng did not suspect Chen Chumo's appearance.
In order to enjoy the rights of adults as soon as possible, and also in response to the patriarch's call for Chen Chumo to move his hukou back to Liwan Village, Chen Chumo decided to move his hukou to County H. By the way, I changed my age to 10 years older, and my date of birth became October 12, 1985.
Now Chen Zheng couldn't refuse. Chen Zheng is also a good person, and immediately instigated Chen Chumo to apply for his passport together, saying that it was a lot of benefits. In fact, I just want to tie Chen Chumo up in H County, so that your passport is stamped with a few visas to go abroad, and it will be a little difficult to move your household registration again.
In order to show that he was not so ignorant, Chen Chumo learned Chen Zheng's passport rhetoric, and bragged to Chen Hongxia again, which made Chen Hongxia worship Chen Chumo even more.
Well, it's much better to follow the right person than to read a book for more than ten years. You see, Chu Mo understands everything, it's like an encyclopedia + 100,000 whys. Knowing astronomy and geography, he is only eight buckets high, and he is rich and rich, and he is talking about people like Chu Mo.
"Chu Mo, you are really good, you know everything. I, Chen Hongxia, can't catch up with you in my life, but I decided that no matter what, I want to train my son to be a literary star like you. Chen Hongxia said with a smile, and there was worship for Chen Chumo in his eyes.
Such a boast made Chen Chumo embarrassed. Like a thief, his heart is very empty.
Chen Chumo originally planned to ask his grandfather to send the household registration book to H County, but finally decided to go back to Sichuan. After all, they are the closest people in the world, and they can't move their hukou without making an opinion, so they still have to ask their family for their opinions.
The next day, Chen Hongxia sent Chen Chumo to Wuxu Airport before entering the city to meet Dongge.
It was very smooth, and after more than 3 hours, Chen Chumo appeared in the No. 3 compound of Chengfei Group.
It's still the familiar compound, the familiar six-story old residential house. Big trees are broken, quiet and beautiful, and it is a rare residential area in the noisy city.
"Doodoo, doot!"
"Brother, you're back, did you bring me something to eat?" It was the little cousin Zhou Min who opened the door, and every time Chen Chumo came back when she was a child, she followed the back of her buttocks.
I remember that when Chen Chumo first arrived in Sichuan, his little cousin was only a few months old, and she was lying in the stroller all day long, either drinking milk or sleeping. Now she is seven or eight years old, and she has become a lively and cheerful little girl.
"Yes, yes, yes. I brought a lot of specialties from Gui Province this time, so I guarantee that you will have enough to eat. Chen Chumo touched Xiao Zhou Min's head and said.
"Grandpa, this is the jasmine tea I brought you, a specialty of H County. Grandma, this is the sweater I brought you, the weather in Sichuan Province is getting cooler now, and you will be able to wear it in a few days. Xiaomin, these are for your parents, remember to take them back later. Chen Chumo took the things in the suitcase out one by one.
Zhou Peng and the old couple were very happy, Chu Mo came back from a long trip, and they all learned to take care of their families, they were relieved. This is still the shy boy who was dragged by his grandmother and aunt to buy clothes on the street a month ago. It seems that if a man wants to grow up and be responsible, he must go to the society to experience it well.
"Chu Mo, how are you doing in County H? I see that you are all dark, and you have lost weight, and it seems that you have suffered a lot. Pity my big darling grandson. Grandma took Chen Chumo's hand and said.
"Grandma, I didn't endure hardship, and the relatives over there were kind to me. Now I'm working for the big boss in H County, and it's good for me. Thousands are paid back every month. No, I've been paid, and I'll come back to see you as soon as I'm happy. Chen Chumo comforted his grandmother.
"Well, that's right, it's nothing for a man to suffer a little outside, and he doesn't complain to his family when he comes home. Good Chu Mo, grandpa praises you and continues to carry it forward. Zhou Peng said with a smile.
"Go cook, old woman, and stop muttering here. Chu Mo rushed back all the way, don't be hungry, wait for the dinner table to be muttered by you. Chu Mo, come to my grandfather's study, and let's talk to our grandfather and grandson. Zhou Peng watched his wife pull Chen Chumo and talk non-stop, so he sent her to cook.
My grandfather's unit is very spacious, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, which is Cheng Fei's unit for middle-level leaders with dual employees. One is my grandfather's bedroom, one is for Chen Chumo, and the other is my grandfather's study.
"Chu Mo, I heard you say a few days ago that I want to move my hukou to County H. Do you have to move? Is it your own intention, or is it the reason for the relatives over there? Zhou Peng's grandfather and grandson sat on the sofa in the study and said.
"It's mainly my own meaning, and the relatives also have appeals." Chen Chumo said.
"It's such a grandfather, the boss looks up to me, and he likes to take it with him wherever he goes. And when we go out, we all use cars to get around. It was better when I didn't go before, and the boss had a driver to follow. Now the car is driven by the boss himself, which makes me look like the boss, and I am very upset. So I wanted to change my age a little bit so that I could get a driver's license and help my boss take the pressure off. Chen Chumo made up a story.
"Well, it's good to have the idea of being considerate. If it's just to change the age, you move your hukou to Sichuan Province. My grandfather also knew some people, so it would be good to ask someone to help change their age. As for the idea that you want to move your hukou to County H, you should consider it carefully. Zhou Peng plans to mention his grandson. After all, Chen Chumo is not deeply involved in the world, and he has not seen many things, so it is difficult to make a correct judgment.
"Society is very complex, and it is difficult for people's mentality to be perfect. It's nothing for you to live in H County as a foreigner, and everyone will definitely treat you respectfully and treat you as their own. If you do move your hukou, maybe in a few days, everyone will slowly become cold to you. and even treat you as a foreigner. What my grandfather said may be difficult for you to understand now, but from the perspective of my grandfather's lifelong experience, you can't be wrong. You must not act recklessly for such a trivial matter as changing your age. If you really want to move there, wait a few years. Wait until you're settled down and you've made some achievements. At that time, my grandfather would also be more relieved. Zhou Peng said something that Chen Chumo didn't seem to understand.
Today is Saturday, a rest day for the Huaxia Public Utilities Department. Uncle Zhou Xia and aunt Liu Yuan had something to do in the unit temporarily, and they all went out in the morning. I heard that Chen Chumo came back today, and after finishing the business at hand, he also rushed back to Zhou Peng's house.
At the dinner table, the family was lively. While eating, I chatted about my parents' shortcomings, and I was very happy.
After lunch, Xiao Zhoumin yelled for milk. Zhou Peng and his wife usually have no habit of drinking milk, and there is no stock in the residence, so Chen Chumo volunteered to take Zhou Min downstairs to buy milk.
Rich and capricious, Chen Chumo heard that the old man drinking milk is good for his health, so he bought a whole box.
"Brother, I really envy you, you don't have to read books when you're young, you don't have to learn anything, you can play everywhere. I'm so annoyed that I'm either going to class or going to tutorial class. It's hard to rest on the weekend, and I have to go to interest classes again, learning endlessly, spinning like a spinning top. Zhou Min said with a sigh.
She likes Chen Chumo's cousin very much, and her cousin is also very good to her, so she is willing to tell Chen Chumo about her troubles.
"Don't be envious, I still envy you. Now I regret being so headstrong. I didn't learn much, so I went to the mountain to collect medicine. Only when I left the society did I realize that I didn't understand anything, and I felt the importance of knowledge like a nerd. You have to go to school hard, no matter how hard and tired you are, when you graduate from college, you will be liberated to find a job. Chen Chumo was telling the truth.
"How can it be so easy, my mother said, after graduating from college, she will send me to study abroad. After finishing her master's degree, she went to her doctorate, and then came back to take over her class. I've done the math, I'm eight years old now, and if I finish my Ph.D., I'll be 26 years old, and I'll have 18 years to go. Eighteen years is enough to grow into another hero, it's a long time. Zhou Min said helplessly.
"You are worrying about the sky, and the young man is worried. Aren't all other people's children going to school now, so let's finish college first. Maybe, in the future, your brain will suddenly be bad, and foreign schools will not accept you, and your mother will not be able to do anything to you. Chen Chumo said.
I feel a little sympathetic to this little girl, and I can't help myself. In today's society, the pressure of competition is too great, and young people have to bear the pressure that they should not have at this age. Compared to their generation, it was still a better childhood. When I was eight years old, I went to the mountains. On the mountain, I only used to pick herbs and practice kung fu with my brothers, just like playing. It's really carefree, a little nostalgic.
As the two siblings spoke, they unconsciously returned to the downstairs of their grandfather's apartment. I saw Zhou Xia smoking at the staircase, pacing back and forth, as if he had something on his mind.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? I'm afraid we'll lose it. Zhou Min asked while holding an oversized bottle of family-packed milk.
"Come down and smoke a cigarette, I'm afraid of smoking your grandparents." Baby, you go upstairs first, I have something to talk to your brother. Zhou Xia said.
"Xiao Min go up first, don't drink this milk if you can't drink it, don't break your little belly." After Chen Chumo finished speaking, he put the carton of milk he was carrying next to the stairs. The middle and high-level employees of Chengfei live in this building, and the quality is very high, so you don't have to worry about who takes it.
Chen Chumo followed Zhou Xia to the small garden of the community, and he didn't know what his uncle wanted to talk to him.
"Chu Mo, the Chen family and the Zhou family are all scholars, and they are worthy of their conscience. You are young, you will inevitably be tempted to be out there, and it is inevitable that you will make small mistakes. However, we must face up to our misses and correct them in time, and we can't go all the way to the black. Zhou Xia was the first to speak.
No, I won't just give you a Chinese cigarette, uncle, don't go online like this. I heard my grandfather say, uncle, you started smoking secretly in junior high school. At that time, my age was not much different from what I am now, so why did you give me a political lesson at this time? It's not authentic!
"Just now, you asked Zhou Min to give us two notebooks, and we accepted them, but there was no next time." Zhou Xia said solemnly.
Both of these notebooks are new this year, with high configuration, and the two together cost more than 30,000. In just one month, where did Chen Chumo get so much money? That place in Gui Province is not rich, and Zhou Xia doesn't believe that there is a boss who is so generous and gives his subordinates such a large sum of money at once. It must be this nephew of his own, who accidentally walked the side door. As a family member, I have the responsibility to wake up young people in time. Otherwise, I'm sorry for my sister's heavenly spirit.
