CHAPTER XXIV
Chen Wenyue didn't come back until the evening, and her face was not very good, thinking that she had heard gossip again, Honglin really wanted to persuade her not to go to that cloud village in the future, but she couldn't do it.
At night, when Honglin was half-asleep and half-awake, he heard his mother crying in a low voice while covering the quilt, and Honglin crawled to his mother's side, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" ”
Chen Wenyue heard her voice, the crying voice slowly lowered, and it took a while before her face appeared, and her eyes were red, "Honglin, why haven't you slept yet?" ”
"Mom, don't cry, those who bully you will definitely ask for you in the future." Honglin comforted his mother.
"Honglin, my mother's heart hurts." Chen Wenyue hugged Honglin and said in a thick nasal voice.
"Mom, it's going to be okay, everything is going to be okay." Honglin didn't know how to comfort her, and now he felt so pale and powerless to say anything.
After a long time, Chen Wenyue fell asleep with Honglin in her arms, and Honglin woke up again, she was no longer there, and she thought she had gotten up.
"Uncle, you can learn to box." Honglin said.
"Is that okay?" Chen Wenfei actually wanted to learn it for a long time, but after all, she learned it from her master, so I'm embarrassed to say.
"It's okay, you can't learn Jiang's boxing, but this basic boxing can be learned." Honglin had already asked the master.
He heard that he could learn it, and he didn't care what kind of boxing he could learn, as long as he could learn some of it, and boys were very interested in these punches and feet.
Chen Wenfei is very able to endure hardships and has good perseverance, he has never been tired, he has persevered every day, Honglin feels that it was because of his family that he took that crooked road in his previous life.
I can't think of it in this life, as long as he doesn't live by his uncle's side, he will definitely not skip school like in his previous life, and then drop out.
"It's the Dragon Boat Festival, why hasn't your second uncle come back yet?" Chen Wenyue muttered to herself.
Honglin calculated, Chen Wenke seemed to have been out for more than ten days, almost twenty days, and I don't know if he went to Guangzhou, at this time Honglin especially missed the convenient mobile phone.
"Sister, are you going home for the Dragon Boat Festival?" Chen Wenfei asked.
A few days ago, my grandfather sent them a lot of vegetables, but my grandmother didn't come, my mother asked my grandfather to bring things back, he refused to ask for it, saying that he wanted to sell it for money, and my grandfather just loved my grandmother too much, my grandmother was ten years younger than my grandfather, and my grandfather always cherished my grandmother, and my grandmother gave birth to many children, I heard that there were more than ten, but only five survived.
Grandpa always felt that she had suffered a lot, so as long as her grandmother thought it was right, he would generally not object, which caused her grandmother's domineering personality now.
"You must come back for the Dragon Boat Festival." Grandpa told him when he walked out the door.
"Let's go back, I haven't been back for half a year." Chen Wenyue said with a long sigh.
Just the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Wenke finally came back, and he came back with a bag of all kinds of goods, radios, tapes, tapes, etc., and many original toys, but they were very novel at the time.
"You're going south?" Chen Wenyue looked at those things and asked in surprise.
"Well, I went, it was really lively there, I went to see the second sister, she was very good in that factory, and everyone was a lot fairer." Chen Wenke was a little tired, but his voice was full of excitement.
"Sister, I think about it, I'll go to the county seat to open a store in a few days, there are more people there, and these goods are rare, they must be easy to buy." He said with great ambition.
"It's good if you like it, now you can make money if you dare to do it." Chen Wenyue did not stop him, but encouraged him.
"Go rest and go home tomorrow." Chen Wenyue saw that he still wanted to speak, but his face was full of tiredness.
Early the next morning, Chen Wenke hugged Hongmei, and the group walked towards his grandmother's house, Chen Wenyue cut some meat and bought a fish to take with him.
When he arrived at his grandmother's house, he looked outside and smiled happily when he saw them returning.
Grandma didn't say anything, but Chen Wenxiao smiled very happily, but it made them feel abnormal, and they didn't know what bad ideas he had.
Today's dishes are particularly hearty, they are all cut by my grandfather, fried by my mother, and my grandmother is watching from the sidelines, and when she saw Chen Wenfei, she pulled him vigorously to inquire about the news, "Is your sister's business good, does it make money?" ”
"Mom, sister, a woman with two children, how much money do you say you can make." Chen Wenfei was brought up by his sister since he was a child, and in his impression, his mother basically didn't hug him, so he could only be fierce and beat him.
"You little rabbit, is that how you talk to your mother?" Grandma listened to him and was annoyed.
As soon as Chen Wenfei heard his grandmother's scolding, he hurriedly ran outside, he didn't want to be beaten by his eldest brother inexplicably, so it was better to run away.
"Honglin, come here, my uncle will pick plums for you to eat." There are two plum trees on the edge of the floor of my grandmother's house, which are ripe every Dragon Boat Festival and are just right to eat.
Honglin took Hongmei's hand and stood under the plum tree, looking at the plums scattered among the leaves, Honglin knew that his grandfather must have picked most of them and sold them, and the rest was the kind of fish that were not so good, or slipped through the net.
My uncle was very skilled in climbing trees, and most of the boys in the countryside knew how to do it, so he quickly picked a lot of red "Eat it." ”
The uncle handed it to Honglin, and also took one to Hongmei, which is a very delicious thing in this era when fruits are very poor.
Chen Wenke found a bag and asked Chen Wenfei to pick it up and put it there, and take it back to eat later.
After eating, Chen Wenxiao couldn't wait to find Chen Wenke and talk to Chen Wenyue, "You also know, I'm also old, Wenyue, you and Wenxiang are not willing to change my parents, I also figured it out, don't want you to change your relatives, you give me some money to build a new house." ”
Listening to his words, Chen Wenyue didn't speak, but Chen Wenke frowned, "How many rooms are you going to build, and how much does it cost?" ”
"It's enough to build five rooms, three hundred yuan is enough." Chen Wenxiao said.
Three hundred yuan is not worth much at all in twenty years, but now it is valuable, some people can't save so much in a few hundred, otherwise why would Su Haiping kill himself for a hundred yuan. But Chen Wenxiao said it easily.
"Then how do you have any money?" Chen Wenke asked: "You don't want to give you the money for the whole house, let's give it to you." ”
Hearing his words, Chen Wenxiao's face was obviously a little embarrassed, but he quickly turned around, "I only have fifty yuan myself, and two hundred and fifty yuan less." ”
"Is this money borrowed from you?" Chen Wenke has seen more outside now, and he is not afraid of Chen Wenxiao, he can build a house, but he must explain these things to him.
"Between brothers, where is the borrowing." Chen Wenxiao was said by Chen Wenke, his face was a little unbearable, and he said with some dissatisfaction.
"It's not impossible for you to ask us to take this money, but there is something to say ahead." Chen Wenke also wanted to solve his troubles, if he built a good house and married a cousin, it would be good not to always find trouble with them.
"He's your big brother, what did you say?" Grandma just heard it and said dissatisfied.
"It's okay, it's okay, listen to him." Chen Wenxiao hurriedly shook his hand, afraid that this matter would be ruined again, so he showed his mother-in-law not to intervene.
"We gave you money and built you a house, what if you can't marry a wife again?" Chen Wenfei didn't know when he ran in and interjected.
"Don't be mischievous here." Chen Wenxiao's eyes were horizontal and he glared at him angrily.
"After we pay this money, you can't come to us for anything." Chen Wenke said.
"Then what if your eldest brother has no money to beg for a guest?" Grandma said without waiting for her uncle to speak.
"We are his younger siblings, he builds a house, and the guests ask us for money, so when we want to build a house, do we have to ask him for it." Chen Wenke listened to his grandmother's words, and his face was quite ugly.
Grandma listened to Chen Wenke's words and didn't dare to speak, Chen Wenxiao hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you give me money to build a house, I won't look for you if I have anything in the future." ”
Chen Wenxiao calculated that it doesn't take so much money to build a house now, and he can save some money, and Wenxiang will also send some money to his mother every month, so that the money for marrying a guest is enough.
Chen Wenke found his grandfather and told him what they had just said, and asked him to testify, so that he would not find such and such questions to ask for money in the future.
Grandpa listened to Chen Wenke's words, his face was obviously not good, and he used this day to ask for money, but it was best to agree, "As long as he asks you for money again, you will directly let him come to me." ”
In this way, under the witness of his grandfather, Chen Wenke took out 300 yuan to Chen Wenxiao, and then picked up Hongmei and prepared to leave.
Grandpa didn't keep them anymore, but grandma was a little sneering, I don't know what she was thinking, but Chen Wenfei and they didn't talk to her anymore, but said something to grandpa and left.
"Do you think the eldest brother will really build a house?" Chen Wenfei asked with some suspicion.
"Probably will, unless he really doesn't want to be a guest." Chen Wenke said.
"I'll give you a hundred yuan when I go back, and you can't pay all the money." Chen Wenyue said.
"No, I'll go out, I'm going to go to the county seat in a few days, and the younger brother will be in your hands, if there are still three years of junior high school, it's best to be admitted to a high school in high school." Chen Wenke said.
Chen Wenyue listened and didn't speak again, she knew that they felt sorry for herself, so she had to accept their kindness.
The things Chen Wenke got back were still selling very well, and he went to the county seat the next day, saying that he would rent a storefront first, "Second uncle, if you can buy it, it's best to buy it." ”
Honglin thought about the housing prices in the county in the future, and couldn't help but say, it's good to have money to buy some land, and it will appreciate in the future.
Chen Wenke glanced at Honglin, nodded, and went to the county seat with simple luggage.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, Hongmei has fallen in love with walking since she was able to run, and she disappeared in a blink of an eye, but fortunately there are no cars on the street now, so she is not afraid. This day is the first anniversary of my father's death, my mother took Honglin Hongmei to Yun Village, got some sacrifices at Su Haiqiang's house and went up the mountain, the grave was already overgrown with weeds, and then came to this grave, everyone's mood was a lot calmer, although they still sighed, but there was no sadness at that time.
"Uncle, isn't it your summer vacation soon?" Honglin saw that Chen Wenfei and they had already started to review, and they thought that they were close to the final exam.
"Well, there's a week off in hand." Chen Wenfei is very serious about copying homework, he saw Honglin practice every day, he also practiced, the effect is still there, and he seems to be very talented in painting and writing, she remembered that the wall of her grandmother's house, the door is full of animals painted in ink, and it is his masterpiece.
Honglin remembered that Jiang Xiaochen said that he would come back to her during the summer vacation, I don't know if it was true, his last letter also said that he is learning boxing very hard now, and when he comes back, he will definitely not be as embarrassed as last time.
Chen Wenfei's exam results were very good, and he was the second in the class, which made Chen Wenyue very happy, "Wait a few days, you can go home, the farm is about to start, you go back to help do something, the eldest brother's house doesn't know if it has started, you can take advantage of this vacation to help the family work." ”
Chen Wenfei nodded when he heard this, but he was obviously not very interested in going home.
"I know you don't want to go home, if he beats you again, you'll come back, if you don't go back, he'll definitely have something to say." Chen Wenyue persuaded.
