NOVEL WEB Chapter 110 The Mud That Cannot Hold Up The Wall
…
At half past nine, Chen Yu drove to the front of his old house. The small bungalow next to it was his uncle's house. In today's rural areas, almost every household has built a bungalow. The dirt road when he was a child has changed in the new countryside in the past two years. After renovation, wide cement roads have been built. I have to say that the changes in my rural hometown have been really big in the past two years.
"Brother Zhuocao, it's you. I was muttering in the living room just now that some rich man came to our village in a big Land Rover. I didn't expect it to be you, brother."
As soon as Chen Yu got out of the car, he heard the voice of his cousin Chen Fang. Looking through the sound, his cousin was still the same, with a stern haircut and strong features.
The houses of the two families are next to each other, and the floors in front of the houses are even connected. Therefore, when Chen Fang spoke, he came to Chen Yu from his own floor.
"Come on, brother, have a smoke."
While Chen Yu was talking, he took out a pack of Zhonghua Gold slim cigarettes, handed one to his cousin, and then lit one for himself.
At this time, Su Ruowei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also got out of the car and called Chen Fang brother with a smile.
"Haha, brother and sister are good, brother and sister are good."
"Uncle, aunt."
"Brother, uncle and aunt are at home."
"Yes."
Chen Fang nodded, and then shouted into the room at the top of his lungs: "Dad, Mom, Xiaoyu is back with your niece-in-law!"
Soon Chen Yu's uncle Chen Shan and his aunt walked out from the door of their living room. When they saw Chen Yu, their faces were immediately filled with smiles, "Xiao Yu."
"Uncle, aunt."
Chen Yu handed his uncle a cigarette and personally lit it with a lighter. Alas, it had only been half a year since he last met, and his uncle had become a lot older. Half of the hair on his head had turned white. The same happened to his aunt, who actually had white hair on her head. In his impression, his aunt's hair had always been very dark and shiny.
"Uncles and aunts."
"This is my niece-in-law Weiwei. She looks even better than in the photos. She looks like a big star."
Aunt Wang Fang looked at Su Ruowei and smiled.
"Xiaoyu, Weiwei, come inside quickly and sit down. It's hot under the sun outside."
Chen Yu opened the trunk of the Land Rover and together with Chen's father took out the two boxes of Maotai and eight cigarettes inside.
"Maotai, Huazi, Dachongjiu..."
Chen Fang looked at it and was speechless, "No, brother, why did you buy such expensive tobacco and alcohol? This... this is such a waste."
Uncle Chen Shan was shocked and said quickly: "Yes, yes, we rural people can't smoke cigarettes worth a thousand yuan a piece, and Maotai is too expensive. Xiaoyu, why don't you bring these cigarettes and alcohol with you?" Go back and refund it later. If you want to buy cigarettes for your uncle, just buy the Huangshan that costs 7 yuan a pack."
"Uncle, I've already bought all this. There's no point in taking it back. Why don't you keep it for a taste?"
Chen Yu said.
"Brother, Xiaoyu bought it for you, just keep it."
Father Chen also said.
"Oh, okay."
In this way, a group of people came to the uncle's house.
The aunt immediately turned off the ceiling fan and turned on the cabinet air conditioner in the living room.
Chen Fang made tea for Chen Yu and his family.
The uncle went to the side room.
After a while, the uncle came out and handed Su Ruowei a red envelope in his hand, "Weiwei, uncle wishes you and Xiaoyu a happy life."
"Uncle, you really don't need it."
Su Ruowei turned her attention to Chen Yu for help, mainly because she was not very clear about some customs in Chen Yu's hometown, and she didn't know whether she should accept the red envelope.
"Weiwei, uncle gave it to you, please keep it."
Hearing what Chen Yu said, Su Ruowei reached out and took the red envelope, "Thank you, uncle."
"Zhibang, you said you didn't tell us in advance when you were coming today, so we didn't even set off firecrackers."
"Sister-in-law, we don't care about this."
After sitting in the living room for a while, Chen Yu stood up and said, "Uncle and aunt, I'm going to visit the graves of my grandparents."
"Xiao Fang, you go with Xiao Yu and burn some paper money for your grandparents."
"Okay dad."
In this way, Chen Yu, Su Ruowei and Chen Fang went out together.
It was exactly eleven o'clock when the three of them came back from visiting the grave.
At this point, the aunt was already preparing to make lunch in the kitchen. Mother Chen was chatting with the aunt. Su Ruowei also went to the kitchen after returning.
Father Chen and his uncle were sitting in the living room, eating melon seeds and chatting.
Chen Yu and his cousin were smoking on the ground outside.
"This Zhonghua Gold slim cigarette is easy to smoke, but this slim cigarette is really hard to endure. For a heavy smoker like me, it will burn to the bottom after three or four puffs."
"Brother, do you still want two packs of cigarettes a day?"
"Two packs are the base."
"Brother, I'm not telling you, you really need to control yourself. Don't look back at such a young age and your lungs will be damaged."
"It's hard to control this thing. By the way, brother, how many Ws does it cost to land this Land Rover?"
Chen Fang asked curiously.
"This is my entry-level Range Rover, with a floor area of over 140W."
"Good guy, you can buy two houses in our county, but this Range Rover is really handsome."
"Brother, let's go up and experience it? Let's go for a ride."
As Chen Yu spoke, he handed the Land Rover key to his cousin.
"OK."
After a while, Chen Fang drove Chen Yu away in Chen Yu's Land Rover.
Chen Fang didn't go far. After having a good time, he drove the car back.
"By the way, brother, how are you and your sister-in-law doing now?"
Chen Yu asked after getting off the car.
"Oh, it's difficult. Your sister-in-law is now under a lot of pressure from her parents. Her parents are now going around to introduce partners to your sister-in-law. The people they introduce to your sister-in-law are either from the same system as your sister-in-law, or they are Compared with those people from state-owned and central enterprises, your brother's conditions are really poor."
Chen Fang smoked a cigarette and said with a sad face: "I'm really confused now and don't know what to do. Originally, I wanted to learn carpentry. I told you this on the phone before, but your sister-in-law told you Like you, you all think that being a carpenter is dusty and bad for your health, so you refuse to let me learn to be a carpenter. I told your sister-in-law about you, and your sister-in-law wanted me to work in your garment factory. She said that as long as I get involved in management, her parents will no longer object to us being together, but as for me, I know how much I weigh, and my personality is not suitable for management, and I don’t want to Go to Shanghai, because long-distance relationships are really boring."
"Brother, do you think your brother and I are a waste? I'm almost a third-year student, and I've still accomplished nothing. Besides, I still love my children. I don't want to leave my hometown and have a long-distance relationship. Now I feel like I can't stand up to the wall. of mud.”
At the end of the sentence, Chen Fang took another long puff of cigarette.
