Home is such a place, after staying for a long time, you will want to go out, you will be reluctant to go out, and after wandering outside for a long time, you will want to go back. Home is a safe haven. The boat can't stay here forever, but it can't help but come back here either.

There was no traffic jam on the road, and Chen Qi traveled on the bus for nearly four hours before returning to the town where his home was, and then took a motorcycle to the door of his home.

The familiar country road, the familiar beige exterior wall, the slightly old one-story flat-roofed house, the familiar iron gate flashing with silver-white light, obviously repainted, every household was busy with something, so there was no one along the way, Chen Qi packed up his strange emotions, changed his face, twisted the big bag and walked into the door. Then he saw his father and mother sitting on the couch behind the door. "Mom, Dad, I'm back. ”

"Ahh

"Xiaoqi!"

"Brother!"

Surprise, joy, and the flower of family affection quietly bloomed at this moment, and finally no one was attracted by the bloody anti-Japanese drama broadcast on TV.

After a while, it was only after coping with his parents' calls for warmth, Chen Qi returned to his room, then took out Gu Xue's gift and his own gift, and then twisted it out with a smile.

"Dad, this is what Xiaoxue bought for you. ”

"Mom, this is what Xiaoxue bought for you. ”

"Little sister, here you go, your princess dress. ”

As for his gifts, he didn't introduce them too much, just a pair of shoes for one person, as well as some other daily health products, and food.

"Xiaoxue, this kid. Mother smiled and took the bag. The relationship between Gu Xue and Chen Qi is known to the two elders, and they have also recognized it, receiving Xiaoxue's gift, the two elders are overjoyed, Chen Qi's sister is 18 years old this year, called Chen Su, she is about to graduate from high school, she looks slim, but her skin is a little dull yellow, and what she is wearing at this time is just ordinary stall clothes, which has a Cinderella feeling. She opened the bag, thinking it was just a set of skirts, but she didn't think about it, there was a set of skin care products underneath, this set was almost a collection of cosmetics and skin care products, and suddenly the crescent moon on her face smiled even more crookedly.

"This is what my sister-in-law bought for me?" Chen Su said excitedly.

"Yes, yes. Chen Qi said with a smile. Her sister doesn't look bad, but the family is poor, and it's already a burden for the two to go to school, and it's almost impossible for her to dress up and maintain her skin, and it's just a bottle of 5 yuan blasting spirit in winter, and everyone uses it together to ensure that the skin doesn't freeze and crack. Looking at her Cinderella-like sister, and then comparing Gu Xue with a light ** person, Chen Qi was a little distressed. I also regretted that I didn't think much about it, but Gu Xue, who was still careful about this skirt and skin care products, thought about it, and said, "Susu, how about going shopping with my brother tomorrow?"

"Okay. Chen Su jumped up exaggeratedly, and then carried his things back to the room. Chen Qi's house is a typical downhill tiger pattern, a large living room, four rooms, a toilet on each side, a kitchen, the countryside to build a house cheap, this building area of 144 square meters of house, at that time to the decoration, but also spent 780,000 yuan, of course, also Chen's father borrowed to build, these years have been repaid one after another, there are still seven or eight thousand have not been repaid, every year New Year there is a debt collection, of course, the debt is also particular, before Chinese New Year's Eve can come to the door, after Chinese New Year's Eve, whether you want to get it or not, you can only wait for the next year。 However, this year, Chen's debt will not come to the door, because Chen's father has already paid back the money, which is also thanks to the 20,000 yuan that Chen Qi sent back.

"Xiao Qi. Chen's father said, "How are you reading?" Chen Qi cured Zhang Li's neck column disease, and thus recognized his relatives, in Chen's father's eyes, his son must not have read in vain in school, although this question is how well he reads, in fact, he wants to ask Chen Qi's future plans, he is also a scholar, and he also knows that his son is about to graduate.

"Dad. Chen Qi thought about it for a while, and said, "I'll start my internship next year, Xiaoxue's parents have already arranged it for me, and I'll go over after reporting to school." ”

"Well, do you know the situation in Xiaoxue's family?" Father Chen was worried, in his opinion, Gu Xue was from the city, and the two were actually not a good match.

"I really don't know. Chen Qi said truthfully, "I only know that her mother is the chief physician of the central hospital, and as for her father, I only heard that he is an executive of a large company, and the family is not short of money." "These are all messages given by Gu Xue.

"There are some things I still have to warn you of. Father Chen said, "Although our second elder has no opinion on the matter between you and Xiaoxue, I can't guarantee what her family thinks, you know the situation of our family, this gap is too big, and my parents are probably not so easy to talk to." ”

Chen Qi nodded, he had actually thought about these things, but Gu Xue had always reassured him, saying that she had two Qingming parents, and as for the actual situation, she could really only take one step at a time.

After dinner, Chen Qi went to the homes of relatives in various neighborhoods, and also saw some friends and playmates when he was a child, one night in this hurried and heart-warming episode, gradually passed, and slept back to his bed, Chen Qi's heart gradually became a little dignified, and Gu Xue's matter was like a stone pressing on his heart, when Gu Xue was in the past, he easily threw the stone aside, and now, he was a little difficult to sleep. It's really not easy to go all the way, and there are many ups and downs.

The next day, Chen Qi took Chen Su out of the door, and of course he also received his mother's procurement task, which was less than half a month away from the New Year's Pass, and the procurement of New Year's goods was to be put on the agenda.

Kwaitan Town, an unknown town, on the map, does not even occupy the position of a pin point, but this is indeed a large town with a large population, nearly 100,000 people live, and the economy is very backward. This is also a common problem in Chaoshan District, Chaoshan has many corrupt officials, and if you look at Shantou, one of the four special economic zones for reform, you can know how serious the scourge of corrupt officials is. The potholed road, the road is really bumpy and unstable, even Chen Qi's hometown self-cultivation township is not as good, more than half of the poor households in the whole town, but Chen Qi heard that last year, the town government also reported to the superiors, saying that this is a rich town, and he took off the hat of a poor town, and at the same time, most of the poverty alleviation funds were missing. The status of the people concerned has gone up, but what is left for this town is a mourning.

The whole market and the business circle are mixed together, messy, a total of four commercial streets, but mixed with a life market street, the fishy smell is pungent, and the popularity is strong, but what can be seen everywhere is nothing more than the aunt and aunt who buy vegetables, and the beautiful and handsome guys who shop with small bodies are drowned in it with the current.

The first thing is to take Chen Su to do her hair, due to poor maintenance, Chen Su's long hair is as messy as artemisia grass, when he enters the barbershop, Chen Qi can see the disgust on the barber's face, obviously knowing that Chen Su is a rough rural girl. Chen Qi held back his anger and pushed Chen Su onto the seat, the barber took a single book, Chen Su had no idea, Chen Qi took the book, while reading, he asked Chen Su if he liked it, and in the end, he still picked a straight hair style, to put it simply, the hair was straightened, and then the bangs were trimmed, I originally wanted to color, but Chen Su said that he didn't like it, so he didn't force it. Coming out of the barbershop, more than an hour has passed, although disgusted, but the barber still did not cut corners, therefore, Chen Su is now a new look, the whole person is much more energetic, more confident, this little girl has been suppressed for too long, seeing that she finished doing her hair, she suddenly became much more beautiful, a pair of crescents suddenly squinted together, and her brother screamed sweeter.

Then he bought clothes for Chen Su, upgraded his equipment, and visited a trinket store, usually a few yuan of earrings Chen Su wore very happily, and now her brother waved his hand, dozens of hundreds of silver jewelry were bought, she gradually became a little surprised, "Brother, are you being raised by a rich woman?" No wonder Chen Su thinks so, please, Chen Qi is also a student, and he also relies on the family's money to study, but this time when he comes back, he is simply a little local tyrant.

"What nonsense. Chen Qi gave her an angry look. "It's with my scholarships and grants, you know?"

Chen Su only then reacted, his brother is said to be a highly talented student, in school, every year is either a grant or a scholarship, and there are part-time jobs, although the family occasionally sends money over, but he is outside, almost self-sufficient, and he doesn't have to worry about it at home.

"Brother, you're amazing. Chen Su said sincerely. Compared with herself, Chen Su is a little disappointed, her grades are not very good, just average, and it is a little difficult to even get into a decent university.

Chen Qi seemed to feel that Chen Su was a little lost, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, in the future, my brother will provide you with a study and dress you up beautifully." ”

This statement amused Chen Su, the relationship between brother and sister is really good, the elder brother is powerful, and the younger sister is occasionally a little poor, but it is not a small trouble.

After a morning, he finally implemented the matter of upgrading the equipment for Chen Su, and his stomach began to protest, so Chen Qicai took Chen Su to find a place to eat. Back to his hometown, the most greedy thing, of course, is the pig's knuckle rice in his hometown, Chen Su naturally likes it too, so he found a fairly clean shop, and the two of them ordered the pig's knuckle rice to eat, the authentic taste, the familiar feeling, Chen Qi ate very satisfied. After eating, he didn't rest, and began to purchase big plans, oranges, Yuyiji, which is a must-buy for the New Year, as well as apples, symbolizing peace, other dried fruits, melon seeds, red dates, candy, etc., this trip, Chen Qi's account balance was directly cleared, cash, two hundred and five. Alas, I'm still poor. Chen Qi couldn't help but sigh.

got in the car and went home, took out the only two hundred, handed it to his sister, and gave thirty fares when he got out of the car, Chen Qi is now completely white.
