He has been used to the simplicity of his life all his life, and he has never been reluctant to spend money lavishly, and such a luxury as going to a restaurant is even more unimaginable.
Chen Yuejin's first thought was: "Why go to a restaurant, it's so expensive, let's eat at home."
Chen Yuan persuaded with a smile: "Father, look at my aunt coming all the way, we can't just entertain people like this, and everyone is very tired from the car today, and now cooking is very troublesome, so let's go to the county seat How about a bite?"
Su Wanhua wanted to express in a hurry that he could do whatever he wanted, and he didn't have to worry about her thoughts. He glanced at Chen Yuan's face and found that she had something to say, and he used this to persuade his father to agree, so he didn't explain.
At the same time, I lamented that the old man Chen is indeed a living parent. It can be seen that he is really frugal, and his daughter also wants her to live a good life.
When Chen Yuejin heard that this was indeed the case, and that the son-in-law, his third aunt, and the three children were doing it at home, it was indeed a bit appropriate, so he quickly said, "I'm really sorry, but I wasn't thoughtful enough, then follow the Chen Yuan said go to the city to eat."
"Okay, then Shen Huai and I will go to the city to check the location first, you and my third aunt will chat first, and I will be back to pick you up soon."
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, she put on her clothes and prepared to go out with Shen Huai. Shen Huai didn't know this place by himself, so it was faster for the two of them to go together, and they didn't have to take detours. They also asked Third Aunt to chat with Chen Yuejin It's okay, people of the same age may have common topics, and the main thing is that if the third aunt can tell Chen Yuejin about her life in the city, it may be more useful than talking about it herself.
She also thought about Chen Yuejin's later life, and she couldn't stay in the small mountain village all the time. The medical conditions here are very poor, and the income can only depend on farming and raising cattle, which is very hard.
Let Chen Yuejin leave this land, he must be reluctant, because he has lived here for decades, and he is used to it in all aspects. He may not be able to accept it in his heart when he suddenly leaves for a change of environment, and after leaving, can he get used to the city? Life, this is also very difficult to say.
The situation of my father and my third aunt is not the same. My third aunt is not used to it in her hometown, so she thinks it is not bad to change her hometown. In addition, she has found a career that suits her, and her life is relatively comfortable now.
But my father has had a good harvest this year. For a farmer who has always guarded the land, it is obviously impossible for him to give up his life here now, so we can only respect the situation and respect his choice.
However, even if her father chooses to stay in Xiaohe Village in the end, Chen Yuan will often go home to visit the elderly from time to time in the future. It is more convenient to travel with her own car and she can come back often.
It is also possible to install a telephone in the Chen family's home, which is more convenient to contact, but this is a bad idea. The old man is not around, and he always lacks a sense of security. Easy to go wrong.
The relationship between the original owner and her sister seems to be not very good, but his sister should also pay attention to his father's situation, but Chen Mian does not live in the Chen family, so it is impossible to know immediately what happened.
Chen Yuan depends on the situation, and after testing Chen Yuejin's attitude, she decides how to solve the problem.
When Shen Huai and Chen Yuan left, they took the three children out together.
Only Su Wanhua and Chen Yuejin were left at home.
Su Wanhua took out the gift she bought for Chen Yuejin. She asked Chen Yuan before what Chen Yuejin liked. Chen Yuan said that besides farming, maybe smoking was his hobby. After all, there were no entertainment activities at home, and the old man lived And so frugal, not keen on food and clothing, life is very monotonous, only smoking that kind of rough tobacco leaves is what I often do to relieve stress.
In addition, tobacco leaves are very cheap, and you can buy several catties for one yuan in the county town market.
After Su Wanhua thought about it, he bought him two high-quality Magnolia cigarettes as a gift. These cigarettes were said to be good, and it was a perfect gift for Chen Yuejin.
Chen Yuejin felt a little embarrassed when he saw it, and hurriedly declined: "Dear family, you come as soon as you say, what are you doing with your things, you don't have to be so polite when you come to our house, we are all a family, you make it so difficult I'm getting a little uncomfortable."
Su Wanhua said with a smile: "It's all right, I dragged you to give birth to a good daughter, Chen Yuan is such a good child, if she hadn't helped me gain a firm foothold in Wucheng, I might not even know how I am now. What about that, I work in her clothing store now, and my life has changed a lot compared to before. It is also appropriate to give some gifts for the Chinese New Year. Two cigarettes are my heart, so don’t think too little of them.”
The prices of these two cigarettes are actually not cheap. Chen Yuan and Shen Huai have already bought a lot of other cigarettes. If I buy them myself, it seems a bit redundant and a bit too competitive. Such a too tough personality is obvious , Chen Yuan and Shen Huai will have a bad impression, and his father is even more embarrassed to accept it.
Therefore, choosing a gift is also learned, it should be a little more expensive, and it also depends on whether it is suitable for the other party, otherwise the scene will definitely be very embarrassing.
"How can you dislike it, third aunt of your in-laws, you are really a polite person, is that child Chen Yuan so successful now?"
Chen Yuejin was a little surprised. He heard that Chen Yuan was in business before, but he didn't know what he did, and he came back quite suddenly, and he didn't have time to ask about the details. Now hearing what Su Wanhua said, it was like asking in-depth .
When Su Wanhua heard Chen Yuejin's question, the conversation started, but Chen Yuan told her not to talk too much, lest Chen Yuejin suddenly be unable to digest it all at once, and in this village, it is easy to conceive a crime, as long as It is enough to find out with his father that his daughter has a prosperous life in the city, and it is meaningless to talk too much.
So she said to Chen Yuejin like this: "My father-in-law, Chen Yuan opened a restaurant and a clothing store in Wucheng. She earned that car from doing business. She is really more sensible now than before. You You can enjoy peace and happiness in peace, and as you get older in the future, why not live in the city with your daughter and son-in-law. Your son-in-law is obedient to Xiaoyuan at home, and you don’t have to worry about getting along well, so really Nothing to worry about."
Chen Yuejin was even more surprised when he heard that she worked in both a restaurant and a clothing store. Although Xiaoyuan was very smart since she was a child, she was also the most promising in the whole family, but she was spoiled by herself. So able to do it.
His first reaction was not that he was happy that Chen Yuan was able to make money and was very capable, but that he felt sorry for how much hardship she had endured and how many hurdles the child had to go through before he could grow into the sensible appearance he is today.
Chen Yuejin was thinking about it and suddenly burst into tears, feeling very uncomfortable.
After thinking for a long time, rubbing his eyes and choking, he said: "His third aunt, I'm not going to say something nice, don't mind, the conditions of the Shen family are not very difficult."
Otherwise, why would Chen Yuan want to start a business and make money by herself? Although she thought that marrying so far away would not be a blessing, she didn't expect to suffer so much.
Although seeing that the young couple is very close now, I don't know how long the relationship has been running in now.
Su Wanhua was in a hurry: "Don't cry, father-in-law, the Shen family is not poor, and the conditions of the Shen family are not bad, but this child Chen Yuan is a strong person, she is definitely not willing to be ordinary, she is destined not to be just a housewife, This is a waste of her ability, in other words, if she chooses to live a stable life, she can only be content with being ordinary, but your daughter is obviously not an ordinary person."
Chen Yuejin also felt that it made sense when he heard it. After all, being outside is no better than being at home, and it is impossible for everyone to treat Chen Yuan wholeheartedly like himself, so people will grow up sooner or later, there is no way.
Therefore, after some hard training and tribulations, it is inevitable. It is not a good choice to be content with the status quo, unless you are a person with little ability like yourself, you choose to be stable.
Now that Chen Yuan has come to the end of all hardships, she should be happy.
Chen Yuejin sighed after a while, with a gratified expression on his face: "Okay, okay, my daughter is promising, I am very happy, she has really grown up and matured."
It is also in the true sense that you can be alone, and you can also let yourself be completely at ease.
Otherwise, I was always worried and worried about Chen Yuan's life outside, but now that I know that she is doing well, I have less worries in this regard.
Su Wanhua tried to ask, "Dear family, do you think about going back to Wucheng with us?"
Chen Yuejin immediately shook his head and refused: "I can't do it. If I go to a big city, I'm afraid I can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, and if I go to a big city, I will only burden my daughter and son-in-law, and I won't be able to do much."
Apart from farming, he can't do anything else, and as he gets older, if he doesn't do any work, his brain will become stupid. At that time, he will still become a burden for Chen Yuan, so it's better to spend time in the village. Half life.
Besides, Xiaohe Village has lived in Xiaohe Village for decades, and it is really reluctant to leave.
Su Wanhua shared his own example with Chen Yuejin: "When I first went to Wucheng, I also felt that I could only find a small worker in a restaurant, and I didn't have much ability, but later Xiaoyuan said that I could still do tailoring, and now I can do it pretty well. Okay, people dare to try, and they will always find a suitable job, and you don’t want to see the outside world while you can still move. We used to have no conditions to go out, but now your daughter’s conditions are already very good Now, it’s easy to live in a big city.”
Su Wanhua tried to shake Chen Yuejin's mind, but Chen Yuejin was used to staying in the safe zone, and he felt a little dangerous if he was suddenly asked to leave. It wasn't that he didn't want to see the outside world, but that he subconsciously didn't dare.
So Chen Yuejin just smiled silly and didn't continue talking. In short, these two sentences can't easily shake him.
When Su Wanhua wanted to continue talking, Shen Huai's car had already arrived at the door.
The only person who came back was Shen Huai himself. Chen Yuan and the three children were already waiting in the private room of the hotel in the county town.
Su Wanhua and Chen Yuejin were both sitting in the back seat this time, and because of the chat just now, they were not as strange to each other as they were just now.
Through the transparent car window, Chen Yuejin also introduced the situation in the village to Su Wanhua, and when he passed the crop fields, he also talked about the bumper harvest this year, so he had to mention Chen Yuan again.
Along the way, the two old men praised Chen Yuan again and again. Shen Huai sat in the driver's seat and drove on the road in the village, feeling very happy.
Chen Yuejin learned that it was Shen Huai who mailed him special products for the first time, and he was very grateful to this son-in-law.
He felt that although his daughter had suffered a lot and still complained to his son-in-law, he thought again that his son-in-law was really good-natured and respected himself a lot, but no one is perfect.
My daughter had a fiancé before, who was also promising, but his character was not good, and he was far worse than Shen's son-in-law.
Fortunately, she saw the other party's true face early on. The other party retired and let her daughter go. Otherwise, marrying the other party would not be such a hardship, but a half-life wasted.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuejin became more pleasing to Shen Huai's eyes. After all, Shen Huai didn't intentionally stay away for such a long time, it was all because of work needs. He is a soldier and wants to serve the country, and other people's military wives may suffer even more.
And it wasn't intentional to let Chen Yuan raise the three children. The life experience of the three children was too bitter. Before Chen Yuan went, they didn't live a normal life. Shen Huai's stepmother was not very good.
Many things are accidents, no one wants to be like that, life is destined to be full of helplessness, Chen Yuan can change little by little with her own hands, she is really amazing.
Shen's son-in-law also handed over his monthly salary to Chen Yuan, which made Chen Yuejin feel that he was very honest, very reliable, and very secure. Although this was just a pass line, it was already better than most men.
Shen's son-in-law is also much better than his eldest son-in-law. It can be seen that the way he looks at his daughter is different. The kind of eyes that consider her feelings wholeheartedly cannot be pretended.
It is a great blessing for a woman to meet such a man with such scruples in her life, not to mention that happiness is not born, but to be acquired, no matter how good a man's character is, he needs to adapt.
The eldest son-in-law sometimes doesn't worry about the feelings of the eldest daughter, because he quarreled several times about having another child, and he doesn't have any special respect for his attitude. Son-in-law Shen will never be like this, because seeing Chen Before Yuan's stomach moved, Chen Yuejin understood that Chen Yuan's marriage was definitely much better than Chen Mian's, and she was a man who could be the master of the house.
Chen Yuejin lamented that the fate of the two daughters is different, maybe it is the character that determines the fate, if Chen Yuan is still as arrogant and ignorant as before, she will not live a happy life now, all of this is achieved by herself, and it is her Deserved happiness.
The news that Chen Yuan came back by car spread throughout the village, and no one knew who reached Chen Mian's ears.
Many people in the village knew about this matter, and Chen Mian had no reason not to know, so when he heard the news that Chen Yuan drove back, he couldn't believe it at all.
So Chen Mian also left to go to Chen Yuejin's house, but when he went there, he found that the door was closed and locked.
After inquiring, I found out that Chen Yuan took his father to drive to the provincial capital.
As for what to do, I don't know, anyway, I have a big family and children.
Chen Mian felt uncomfortable because he was the last one to know that Chen Yuan had come back, but guess what, if it wasn't for an urgent matter, it was already time for dinner, so he probably went out to eat.
She was very upset and felt that she had been neglected, but she had no choice but to wait until tomorrow to find someone.
Chen Yuan chose the largest and best state-run restaurant in the county. Although it was the best, it was still far from the restaurants of the same standard in Wucheng.
The environment and the dishes are far worse, and there are fewer customers.
When Chen Yuan and Shen Huai came, they couldn't see a few tables of guests at all, and private rooms were even casual. The environment here is already the best in the entire county, and other shops are not as good as this, so they decided to have the whole family in the evening. Here for dinner.
The two ordered eight dishes and one soup.
This amount is enough for four adults and three children, and it is very comfortable to eat. If you order too little, the elderly will have a common problem, that is, they are reluctant to eat.
Chen Yuan knows Chen Yuejin very well, because since childhood, no matter what good food is, he will leave it to his daughter as soon as possible. He either eats what is left by his daughter, or he chooses not to eat it.
This habit has been going on for several years without changing it. Chen Yuan was ignorant before, but that doesn't mean she is still ignorant now. The time to change Chen Yuejin's habit is now.
After Shen Huai picked up Chen Yuejin, Chen Yuan began to arrange for the restaurant's service staff to serve the dishes.
As soon as Chen Yuejin entered the restaurant, his state was almost the same as when he was sitting in a car for the first time, and he felt extremely nervous.
Su Wanhua may have sensed that Chen Yuejin was a little uncomfortable, so he chatted with him naturally, and diverted Chen Yuejin's attention. Followed the son-in-law into the private room.
Looking back and seeing Su Wanhua's gentle smile, he felt a little affection for her in his heart, and smiled gratefully.
Of course he could feel that the third aunt of his in-laws was afraid of being nervous. Not only did he not think that he was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, but she also helped him out. She is really a good person.
After a while, the waiter started to serve the dishes, and the first one was Sixi meatballs. Although I didn't know how it tasted, but the presentation was very clean and tidy.
Four burnt brown meatballs were arranged round on the plate, making people appetizing just looking at them.
There are a total of eight dishes, including chicken, fish and meat. The fish was brought by Chen Yuan and Shen Huai from Wucheng and put in the trunk. It just happened to be sent to the back kitchen of the restaurant for processing. It looks good and tastes good. .
Seeing his daughter and son-in-law ordering so many dishes, Chen Yuejin sighed in his heart that Chen Yuan's life has really improved, and on the other hand pinched his pockets, wondering if he had enough money. .
In short, he didn't say anything, thinking that he would pay the bill secretly after a while.
Chen Yuejin's payment was not out of bragging rights, but he felt that the child came back after a long time, and the parent just wanted to spend some money for the child, and he was happy to spend money for the child.
The money the child earns belongs to the child, and honoring the money given to him is two different things, and it does not conflict with his wanting to spend money for the child.
And there is not much, even if he takes too much money, he can't get it out, but even if he is not willing to part with it, he can squeeze out a meal.
What's more, he has a good harvest this year and has saved a lot of money. He hasn't seen Chen Yuan for more than a year, and he won't say what he misses. He can only express it in this way. recognized.
In this way, the daughter and son-in-law will know what he thinks in his heart.
The meal was delicious, maybe it was because Chen Yuan came back, or because the food was usually simple and light, but today it was a good meal with big fish and meat, and he ate a lot more.
But when Chen Yuejin wanted to risk his face to pay the bill, he found out that he was told that he had already paid the bill.
Chen Yuan shouted behind him: "Dad, that will cost you money. Why are you being polite to us? Just let us come when you pay the bill."
Chen Yuejin smiled awkwardly: "I just think it's not easy for you to come back, and you don't eat like this every day."
"Your daughter is rich now, so the money for food is really nothing. You must not do this in the future, just enjoy it with peace of mind, and don't worry about other things."
Seeing this situation, Shen Huai also came over to persuade him: "Dad, I really don't need you to spend money. As a child, I can let you pay the bill. This is not to discourage us. I really don't have to worry about this in the future. You just Take it easy, and we understand what you mean."
Chen Yuejin's thought of sacrificing himself for others is really distressing.
In fact, the original owner didn't feel sorry for his father in his heart, but he felt that such a father was worthy of his daughter's kindness to him, both morally and humanly.
Chen Yuejin smiled and nodded excitedly, agreed, and once again lamented that his daughter is really different, and he shouldn't have to be so cautious.
The next day Chen Mian came to visit early in the morning, this time she brought her child and her husband with her.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw a small car parked. The appearance of the car is very valuable, because this style can only be seen on TV, and I have never seen such a car in the county, so I also know the estimated price, which they simply cannot afford.
Chen Mian didn't sleep well last night, and his mood was even more mixed at this time, and he didn't know what to say.
Chen Yuan's marriage conditions are better than her own. She knows this but she has never been convinced. After seeing Chen Yuan driving in the car this time, she suddenly realized in her heart that there is already such a big gap.
When I realized it, I felt very jealous in my heart, and I didn't know how to describe my mood, so I wanted to get to the bottom of it and see to confirm the authenticity of the matter.
At first glance, it was true that she had a car, but how did she buy it? Where did the money come from, isn't her man an ordinary soldier? How can there be so much money.
What Chen Mian was concerned about was how much money Chen Yuan had, and what kind of wealth he had become.
Chen Mian's husband is Yu Xu, and he has a daughter. When Yu Xu heard that his wife's younger sister drove a car when she came back, she was very jealous. At the same time, she wondered if she could come over because she is so rich and well-dressed. Get some autumn wind.
So when I came here, I also brought my daughter. Chen Yuan is her aunt. Can you tell me not to give some red envelopes during the Chinese New Year
After the couple came, they saw the car and looked at it for a long time before entering the house.
Chen Yuan greeted Chen Mian: "Sister, you are here."
Unexpectedly, Chen Mian drooped his face and said indifferently, "Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"
"It's not too late, but you know it too."
Chen Yuan was quite well informed about Chen Mian's news, she came back, she knew it soon, she didn't need to tell her, and her filial father and the original owner's sister were strangers to her, so she had no responsibility Obligation, even in memory, has never helped me like Old Chen did.
When Chen Yuan first went to Wucheng, she used the travel expenses given by her father. If she didn't have this money, there would definitely be a lot of trouble.
So she felt that it was necessary to be good to Chen Yuejin, but not to others.
Chen Mian's face darkened and he asked coldly, "Is the car in the yard yours?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "Well, yes, what's the matter."
Chen Yuejin saw that the two sisters had a lot of sex, so he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Your sister finally came back, how did you know that the car was in the house as soon as you entered the house, how ignorant."
Chen Mian's expression was particularly unnatural: "I'm just asking, Dad, what are you excited about? Chen Yuan hasn't said anything yet. It seems that I have made a lot of money in the big city this year. This car should be quite expensive."
Chen Yuan smiled and said lightly: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, if you calculate it, it's only seventy or eighty thousand yuan."
The door frame slammed.
Chen Mian almost fell down, and he stammered in disbelief and asked, "How much...how much?"
