The old son is back, and the whole family is naturally lively.
Chen Hao's grandparents are now living in their home. The old couple likes their current life very much. They don't have to worry about food and drink every day. They can drink a few sips of good wine every day with high-end cigarettes. People who see them in front of and behind them are full of praise. As an old man, of course, it is the most perfect to be praised for the filial piety of their children. The rest is that their children are really filial.
The old couple lives in the west room. There is not only a TV in the room, but also a high-end DVD. The children and grandchildren will buy them some Errenzhuan DVDs. When the two old people are free, they listen to Errenzhuan, eat melon seeds, smoke cigarettes, and sit cross-legged on the kang. That is the happiest life for the elderly in the Northeast countryside.
Chen Hao first greeted his grandparents who had come out of the inner room, then walked through the living room to the dining room and kitchen at the back. There was a special kang-burning room at the back of the house, which was filled with piled firewood. Every day, the second son would come to prepare enough firewood for the Chen family, rain or shine, without missing a single day in the past few years. No matter who dissuaded him, he would grin and say he would come tomorrow. Even if he really had something to do outside, he would prepare enough firewood for the days he was away in advance.
"Mom."
Qiao Xinmei was wiping her hands with an apron, and came out of the kang-burning room at the back. Seeing her son's face showing the brightest smile: "Why are you back so early? Hey, Di, are you cold? Come on the kang, it's warm on the kang."
Qiao Xinmei always gave the most enthusiasm and consideration to Xiao Di. Every time she came, she would give the best to this child, and she could give him some space appropriately, without turning this enthusiasm into pressure.
"Mom, I'm hungry. I've been driving all night. Gangzi and the others are back too. Please prepare some more food."
Looking at Chen Hao's slightly coquettish way of talking to his mother, Xiaodi was very envious. This was the happiest moment for children. A big man who could hold up the sky outside could still be like a child when he returned home. How worthy of envy is such a life.
"Yes, yes, steamed buns from yesterday." Qiao Xinmei has been welcoming and seeing off guests for the past few years, and she is familiar with many things. She walked to the living room to meet everyone and started to prepare breakfast. Chen Xue and Ma Defu and his wife in the yard over there saw several cars coming back at once, and two of them were parked in their yard, so they knew that Chen Hao was back.
The children who were already running around shouted for their uncle and aunt and ran over. Chen Xue chased him with a cotton coat behind him. The little guy wearing only a coat had already run over.
The Chen family is used to and likes the hustle and bustle. Chen Xue went to the kitchen to help. Chen Yu, who had been awakened by the noise below, pulled Xiao Di to sit on the kang to keep warm. At this time, she needed a girl of the same generation to pull her, otherwise anyone would be embarrassed to sit there while the elders were busy behind.
The two of them always met. Chen Yu had just returned from the United States some time ago. Kang Yan was very busy following Chen Hao. She would follow him from time to time when she was not busy. Although their daily lives were always accompanied by separations from time to time, it was also a unique taste.
"Did you drive back all night?" Chen Yuanping sat at the end of the kang, looking at the people who obviously felt like they had stayed up all night. He also had some complaints about his son's willfulness. It's not that there are no conditions. Just come back by plane. The family will send a car to the airport to pick you up. Even if you have to drive back, you don't have to drive at night.
"It's okay, Dad. Xiaodi and I both miss home, so we came back to see them. We may be busy before the New Year, and we don't know if we can have some free time during the New Year. I miss the food my mom cooked. Mom, do you have a sticky fire spoon at home?" Chen Hao shouted towards the kitchen.
"Yes, yes, yes. Eat something in the morning, then have a good sleep. I'll stew a big goose and stir-fry spicy chicken for you in the afternoon." Qiao Xinmei's smile never faded. Now she lives a very "fairy" life, playing mahjong and chatting about family matters. The family has the best food, clothing and daily necessities. When his son is busy, his apprentices remember their home and come to see them from time to time, bringing a lot of things. There are still a lot of things in the warehouse, refrigerator and fresh-keeping cabinet at home that have not been eaten. When her son comes back, mahjong has lost its appeal to her all of a sudden. She just wants to watch her son and daughter-in-law eat the food she cooked and watch them eat an extra bowl of rice.
"Your mother pickled a lot of pickles this year. Knowing that you like to eat them, she is also arranging for someone to bring them to you when she goes to Yanjing." Chen Yuanping stood up and paced, looking like he didn't know what to do. In the countryside, sons are valued more than daughters. Not to mention that his son has become so successful now, even if his son is still the troublemaker, his parents still treat him as a treasure.
Chen Hao, who returned home, only needed to nod his head. The smell here, everything here, was the most warm to him. That door was not the cold air outside, but the world and the other world.
After breakfast, everyone arranged a room to sleep. There were bathing conditions at home, so they took a shower and had a good sleep on the warm kang to replenish their energy for tossing nearly a thousand kilometers that night.
Chen Gang and his second son went to his mother's house to take a look. They were kept by their mother and slept on the warm kang in the west room to replenish their sleep. The moment he nodded and agreed to stay, he clearly saw a layer of tears in his mother's eyes. Perhaps, treating this place as a home is the greatest filial piety to his mother.
Kang Yan and Chen Yu had already obtained their marriage certificate, and now they were legal. They didn't hold a wedding because they wanted to wait until the weather was good around May Day, so that they could get married before Chen Hao. In Chen Yu's room, Kang Yan, who had just taken a shower, was sitting there. Chen Yu was using a hair dryer to blow his hair. She didn't need too many actors. She chose such a taciturn man. She changed her life again, not to mention her temper. Her sisters thought she had changed a lot and couldn't recognize her at all.
Qiao Xinmei would tidy up her son's room every week. Even if it was her favorite grandson, she would not allow him to go to his uncle's room to play. Today, the little guy saw the owner of the room coming back, so he stayed in the room and refused to leave until Chen Hao lifted him up and played with him for a while. Then he was reluctantly taken away by his mother.
The room was quiet again. The kang brought a special smell to the room. Both of them were not unaccustomed to it. The warm quilt had the smell of some aromatherapy bags in the cupboard. It can be seen that the mother carefully took care of each quilt, especially for fear that her daughter-in-law would not be used to it. Everything was new, and they would wash it after they came back to cover it. These small details can be felt. The deepening of the feelings in the car that night, at this moment, they are more willing to look at each other and convey their love, fall asleep peacefully, take a comfortable nap, and enjoy the warmth and smell of the whole home.
…………………………
Chen Hao stayed at home for two days. At noon on the second day, he entertained some of his old friends in the studio in the city. He did not change his attitude towards these people because he has reached the position he is today. Eat some food, drink a little, and chat for two hours. Sometimes maintaining feelings is so simple.
In the afternoon, he took Xiaodi to the outskirts of the Amethyst City project and asked the security guards to open the stone piers that blocked the cars from entering. He smiled and introduced the commercial streets inside and outside to Xiaodi: "We will continue to work hard in Yanjing. First, we will build two streets in our hometown. In addition, I have someone looking for a suitable place in your hometown to buy a street."
After the couple is of one mind, some money and things will be indifferent: "Why, is the son-in-law honoring his father-in-law?"
Chen Hao smiled and said: "Of course, do you know what my biggest wish was before? It was to be a landlord, live in the first house, and rent out all the rest. , get a bamboo rocking chair, take a fan, sit at the street corner in the summer, put a plastic stool next to it, put a big cup on it, put a big cup of strong tea in it, put a radio, listen to storytelling, close your eyes and enjoy the quiet corner after the hustle and bustle of the city. "
The picture immediately appeared in Xiaodi's mind, an old man in a sleeveless coat, bald, slightly fat, the buttons of the small coat were not fastened together, revealing a round belly, leaning on the rocking bamboo rocking chair, while he, holding a cigarette, sitting under the eaves, playing mahjong with several middle-aged women, the more he thought about this picture, the more it looked like a movie plot.
The two seemed to have thought of one thing, looked at each other, and smiled. Perhaps such a life is destined to be just a thought. Even if there is a day in the future when all the external halo will be lost, it will be at least 20 or 30 years later. Now, their lives are at the most glorious stage.
When they got home, many relatives came to see them. In the spacious living room, the whole family found a video on the Internet and rewatched the video of him receiving the award in Oslo and Stockholm. In the past, if you asked Qiao Xinmei and Chen Yuanping what the Nobel Prize was, they would be completely confused. Now they can both talk to you about a lot of things about the Nobel Prize.
What is the pride of being a parent?
The couple was extremely proud and always held their heads high. Their son has now become the child of others in the eyes of others. He is no longer the naughty boy who dragged down the family. Think about it, in just a few years, the change in life is not inadvertent, but in a vigorous and great change. In the decades before Qiao Xinmei's generation, she never thought that there would be more than 10 million deposits in the bank passbook with her name as the account, and she never thought that she would have a big villa in the city, and her brothers, sisters, relatives and friends would all rely on her family for life.
It would be a lie to say that she doesn't like these things, but she has really asked herself that if all these were exchanged for her son being able to live safely by her side, she would prefer the latter. She would smile every time her son returns, but when he sets out on his journey again, from the moment he gets on the car, there will always be a different kind of bitterness and reluctance.
"My child, I know you are young and want to strive for higher places. I won't stop you, but remember, no matter when, safety is a blessing."
