It's almost the Chinese New Year, and the ingredients that Chen Qi has prepared for the family are the most since the Chen family "built a family", and all kinds of meat, sugar, fruits, and pastries are readily available, all of which the four sisters and brothers didn't dare to think of when they were in Xia Ze Village.

Seeing that the family had settled down, Chen Qi always thought in his mind that Lan Lijuan didn't know what was going on at home now.

He knew the economic conditions of Lan Lijuan's family, and there was only one laborer in the family, so it was conceivable that the Lan family would definitely not be able to eat anything delicious during the New Year.

After all, it was his future daughter-in-law, and Chen Qi decided to take a day to deliver something.

Just do it, Chen Qi finished breakfast in the morning, and went out of the house while the family was still sleeping.

From Yuezhong City to Qianqing Town, it took an hour to arrive, inquired with the station staff, quietly released the bicycle in the corner, and rushed to Dongqiao Commune.

When Chen Qi came to Lianzhong Village, it was only less than 10 o'clock in the morning.

This is the first time that his son-in-law has come to the door (shameless), and Chen Qi is dressed quite formally, a brand new dark blue cotton jacket, and the back of the bicycle is full of two snakeskin bags of food.

"Fellow, I want to ask, how to get to Lan Lijuan's house in your village?"

There are no liars in these years, and Chen Qi is a talent, and the villagers only have surprise in their eyes, no vigilance, and they are very happy to show the way.

"You go up this road, turn right at the stream, and then ask the others."

"Okay, thanks."

"The young man is really sensible, thank you, who are you Lan Lijuan?"

Who said fellow villagers don't gossip? The fellows are all inquiring.

"I, I'm the class president of Lan Lijuan's school, isn't this on behalf of the teacher to visit the students, fellow, don't think about it."

"Hehehe, okay, don't think about it, don't think about it, the young man is a good match for Lijuan."

Yes, Bai explained.

The houses in the mountain village are built irregularly, and the road is small and broken, Chen Qi didn't know how many people he asked on the road, and finally touched Lan Lijuan's house.

Of course, did someone Chen deliberately ask people everywhere in the village, so that everyone would misunderstand that there would be a young man looking for Lan Lijuan during the New Year, so as to create the established facts in advance, and give people the sinister intention of Lan Lijuan to have a partner and stop being a matchmaker for her.

Do you have? This is only known to Chen himself.

The broken door of the Lan family was open, and Chen Qi stopped his bicycle and shouted, "Is Lijuan at home?" ”

The loud voice attracted the neighbors, and everyone hid to the side to watch the excitement, and the gossip heart was blazing.

Lan Lijuan is cleaning up at home, no matter how poor and broken the family is, the self-disciplined girl always hopes to be clean.

Suddenly, she heard a familiar inquiry from downstairs, and she wondered if there was something wrong with her ears. Is it really lovesickness? Dreaming at night and thinking about it by day?

Until she heard her younger brother Lan Guoping's question: "What are you looking for my sister for?" ”

"I'm your sister's classmate, is your sister at home?"

Lan Lijuan was so shocked that the rags fell to the ground, her face was happy, she just wanted to run downstairs and froze again, put on an old cotton jacket that was only worn at school, and then cut her hair, and then went downstairs.

When she walked out of the house, she saw Team Leader Chen standing in the sunshine, smiling on his face, and her heartbeat accelerated a lot.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be casual: "Ah, why did squad leader Chen come to the cold house?" ”

Chen Qi was embarrassed to say that I came to you specifically, but said with a smile:

"I'm not here to clear my relatives, I know you're not far away, so I'm stopping by to see your old classmate, hehe."

ShenTM's way, Qianqing Town is still more than 20 kilometers away from Dongqiao Commune, and most of it is still a mountain road, which is not a road at all.

The boys and girls had their own feelings, but neither side said anything, Lan Lijuan herself was not a mother-in-law, so she made a gesture of invitation:

"Squad Leader Chen is here, sit at home for a while, Pingping, hurry up and make tea!"

Lan Guoping looked surprised: "Sister, I don't have tea at home, how can I brew it?" ”

Lan Lijuan was a little embarrassed: "No tea, make a cup of sugar water." ”

"There's no sugar at home!"

Chen Qi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, I'm not thirsty, just sit for a while." ”

Lan Lijuan was a little gloomy in her heart, but on the surface, she still laughed at herself: "I'm sorry squad leader, come, sit inside for a while." ”

Chen Qi took down the two snakeskin bags and followed them into the house, and the neighbors of the Lan family outside the house were very lively.

As soon as he entered the house, Chen Qi understood in his heart that this Lan family was much more difficult than the original Chen family, and it was estimated that this dilapidated house would be blown down by a gust of wind.

The house is still muddy, and there are no stone slabs, but the whole house is clean and clean, and everything is cleaned up.

But because it's too clean, it's not like the New Year, whose house celebrates the New Year, shouldn't there be a lot of food in the closet on the stove?

Hearing that there were guests at home, Shi Atiao also hurriedly ran back, and when she arrived home, she saw that the guests had already distributed a lot of candy to their children, and everyone was still talking and laughing.

The young guest, dressed in a new padded jacket and with a pen pinned to his jacket pocket, was riding a bicycle, and looked like a city man.

Shi Atiao's smile was piled up on his face: "Lijuan, this is." ”

As soon as Chen Qi saw this posture, he knew that it was the hostess who had returned, so he quickly stood up, and his smile was as kind as he was.

"Hello Auntie, I'm Lan Lijuan's squad leader Chen Qi, and I'm passing by this time, so I'm going to take a look at my old classmates."

"Oh, it's Lijuan's classmates, oops, sit, hehe, okay, classmates should help each other."

Shi Atiao greeted with visible enthusiasm, which made Chen Qi feel relieved, he had been a human being for two lifetimes, and it was the first time he saw his parents, and it was false to say that he was not nervous.

Lan Lijuan also breathed a sigh of relief on the side, no matter what, she was her classmate for 4 years, and her mother gave her face.

Rural people, especially parents, will meet in three sessions when faced with their children's possible "objects", intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about the situation in each other's homes.

"Squad Leader Chen, where is your home? Are Mom and Dad okay? How many people are in the family? ”

"Oh, my family is from Xingtang Commune, my parents are long gone, and I have an older sister, a pair of twin brothers and sisters."

When Shi Atiao heard this, he chuckled in his heart.

She knew about Xingtang Commune, it was also a mountain commune, it was terribly poor, and there were no parents at home to help her, and there were younger brothers and sisters to support, Shi Atiao's mood instantly sank to the bottom.

The Chen family is poor, the economic conditions are very bad, and the drag of his younger brothers and sisters, I don't know where these new clothes and this bicycle were borrowed to serve as a façade.

Otherwise, how could mountain people afford bicycles?

Shi Atiao's enthusiasm was fading again at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the enthusiasm just now immediately turned into a faint politeness.

This time it was Chen Qi's turn to chuckle in his heart, and he immediately figured out the reason for the change in Lan's mother's attitude.

I saw too many things like this in my previous life, didn't I think the man was poor, and he didn't have a house or a car.

But how can Chen Qi explain it? Say you can make a lot of money by speculating? The family has already bought a house in the city?

Who would believe these words coming out of the mouth of a secondary school student?
