Chapter 837: A Home with a Heated Bed and a Drink
The return of the backbone of the family made the whole family lively. The eldest sister Chen Xue and the eldest brother-in-law Ma Defu also came with their children. The little guy ran all over the floor, just like the happy fruit of the family. He still had some impression of his uncle whom he didn't see often. When Chen Hao opened his arms, he was willing to get into his uncle's arms and let him hold him for a while.
The grandparents are in good health. A good life makes their whole spirit and spirit have a good development. The two old people are facing the cigarettes handed over by their grandson and smoke happily. There are two living rooms on the first floor of the new house. One is a normal living room with mahogany furniture at the entrance, and the other is a home living room with a large kang and a comfortable sofa LCD TV. Although there is also a dining room at the back, the family prefers to put a kang table on the kang and a folding table next to the kang. The two tables are placed next to each other, which can meet the needs of the whole family to eat together and let everyone choose their own eating posture.
Kang Yan has long been treated as a family member, while Chen Gang and Chen Er were called away by their mother as soon as they came back. They also have their own dishes and rooms in the new home. The improvement of living standards and income has also made this rebuilt family have no conflicts. Chen Er buys a lot of things for the family every once in a while, and occasionally fills in a big item or something. Some time ago, he also gave money to his mother and stepfather to take a stroll in Sanya in the cold winter. Money, if used in the right place, can avoid a lot of unnecessary conflicts and communication. The two brothers didn’t expect to get along well, but just hoped that their mother would always be looked up to in other people’s homes. Spending some money for this is just a small matter.
Kang Yan, who never had a sense of existence, only showed a relieved smile on his face when he returned to this family, and only then did he become more proactive in some things, such as pouring wine for everyone and passing cigarettes to the elders. In normal times, no matter how big a person he was, he would remain the same. The so-called one thing conquers another, it is true. Chen Yu also took a fancy to Kang Yan and was willing to become more stable for him; and Kang Yan also felt the taste of love from Chen Yu, and was willing to temporarily open his heart and enjoy life in peace after returning here.
"Second sister, don't look at me, in a few years, I will definitely let Lao Kang go to you."
Chen Hao's sudden words were counterattacked by Chen Yu with a red face, and Kang Yan shook his head repeatedly: "I can still maintain my peak state for ten years."
This sentence made Chen Yu immediately shift her target. Most girls would be unhappy to hear this sentence, and would think that the other party did not care about themselves. What do you mean you are still at your peak for ten years? Do you want me to wait for you for ten years?
The girl who can make Kang Yan open his heart must have her own unique features. Although in the countryside, twenty-seven or twenty-eight is considered a big girl, she who lives in the city thinks that this age is still very young. Even if she is not young, she is willing to wait for this man for ten years. Besides, it is not waiting, but they are together less and more apart. She has always had a belief in her heart that if I choose this man, I must face all the costs of choosing him happily.
The rest of the people did not speak, not because they understood what Kang Yan was doing, but because they were used to Chen Hao as the backbone. He took Kang Yan with him all day, which proved that he had reasons to be inseparable from him. When struggling outside, there was a family member to help him, and they were relieved. For example, everyone was relieved about Chen Gang, and they were also relieved that Chen Er was in Meicheng.
"Don't drink too much tonight. You two will have a day off after eating. Go to a movie and have a midnight snack."
Chen Yu kicked Chen Hao from below and rolled his eyes at him. Although it is normal for men and women to do many things now, you are talking without measure in front of grandparents and parents.
"Not tonight." Kang Yan still lacked the ability to react to social situations. He only knew that Gangzi was not there and he could not leave Chen Hao too far away, but he did not know that such a refusal might make Chen Yu and his family think too much.
As expected, Chen Yu's expression changed, but she quickly put it away and smiled slightly: "It's very cold, and you have been running for so many days, you are exhausted, you will rest at home and not go out."
Chen Yuanping and Qiao Xinmei both sighed secretly. The child is a good child, but if Xiaoyu follows him, this child of theirs will become obedient to others, and they will feel a little uncomfortable.
"Get out quickly, Gangzi will be back soon, you can take two bottles of wine to Er Mengzi on the way." If it were any other place, Chen Hao would not explain it. This is his family, so he kicked Kang Yan's chair leg and resolved the embarrassment in a tactful way.
What does it feel like to go home?
After dinner, you can lean on the kang. The warm kang makes the whole body comfortable. Listening to the gossip of the family members, I feel like I don't want to do anything at this moment. I just lie there and experience the comfort of home in a slightly noisy environment with TV and conversation.
At this moment, Chen Hao was very pleased that he always insisted on not making himself a machine. If that were the case, how could he have the leisure to enjoy this precious comfort. The old people took a sip of hot tea or a cup of hot milk, and he asked his eldest sister to help him get a can of cold Coca-Cola from the refrigerator, pulled the pull ring, took a sip, and felt the bubbles jumping in his mouth; took a big sip, the cool air hit his mouth, and he felt a burst of coolness coming from the inside to the outside, which formed a hedge with the warmth of his body lying on the kang. That comfort almost made Chen Hao mutter uncontrollably.
I no longer have any interest in cigarettes, let alone addiction. Of course, with his body constantly transformed by the body-building pills, he is not afraid of the harm it brings. He just does it occasionally as a leisure thing. At this moment, I feel that lighting a cigarette is just the right time, so I light a cigarette.
Qiao Xinmei has just helped her eldest daughter wash the dishes in the kitchen. After the new house was built, there is no need to boil hot water in the big iron pot in the stove. The hot water provided 24 hours a day allows the family who are used to bending over in the kitchen to scoop water in the basin to wash the dishes. Now they can wash the dishes in the clean pool with long-flowing hot water, and the efficiency is also faster.
Walking into the living room, Qiao Xinmei saw her son lying on his side in a corner of the big kang. Such an ordinary scene made her feel particularly happy. She has no lofty ideals and goals in her life. It can even be said that she has never had any goals. When others ask her, she just wants to say that the family has extra money every year, they are all healthy, and their lives are okay. She can play mahjong on weekdays, and she is content.
At this moment, Qiao Xinmei felt that she was content with her life. Her eldest daughter was cleaning up the mess with her in the kitchen, her second daughter and her boyfriend Kang Yan were getting dressed and preparing to go to the city to watch a movie together, her grandson was playing with toys on the kang, her mother-in-law was with him, her father-in-law was sitting on the sofa with her husband, watching TV and talking about it, and her eldest son-in-law was making tea, pouring water, lighting a cigarette and chatting. Everything was complete. She would never forget this scene until she died, and it would be deeply engraved in her mind. Looking back, if Xiaodi was there, the three of them would be working and chatting in the kitchen, it would be perfect.
During the prime time of TV dramas every night, the whole family gathered in the living room. With the current living conditions, the fruits were all fresh, and the melon seeds and dried fruits were classified in the utensils. They watched the drama, chatted and ate at the same time. In the past, this might only happen during festivals. On weekdays, everyone was in such a good mood and relaxed state. They were thinking about what they had to do tomorrow to maintain the stability of the family and the sufficiency of material.
Chen Gang and Chen Er came back at around 8 o'clock. As soon as they arrived, the mahjong game was set up in the evening. A room was reserved behind the garage on the side, with a mahjong machine inside, which was prepared for the hostess of this house.
Chen Hao made a bunch of fruit and flower tea, carried it upstairs, and returned to the room reserved for him in the new house. It was a large enough suite that occupied half of the entire second floor area. The remaining half was a small hall and Chen Yu's room.
Live broadcast room, kang bed, bed bed, cloakroom, bathroom and washroom. At that time, it was Ma Defu who suggested that the brother-in-law would like to sleep on the kang when he came back. Our kang is an electric heated kang. If he wants to sleep on the bed, he can sleep on the bed. It's comfortable. The live broadcast room is also specially soundproofed from inside to outside and from top to bottom. This is what Qiao Xinmei strongly requested. The last time her son came back to broadcast live, he ran back to the studio in the city. She wished she could get up in the morning and make breakfast for herself, and then call her son to eat the breakfast she made by herself.
Chen Hao just turned on the computer when Qiao Xinmei brought him a freshly cut fruit plate. Her son likes to eat fruit, so whenever he goes home, she always prepares fresh fruit for him.
"Mom, go play with them. I'll live stream for a while. It's rare for me to go home and rest. I'll chat with everyone. I'll go down after a while. I'll win more from them today. Here, I'll give you some fortune." Chen Hao's small wallet, which he carried with him, always contained 500 yuan. He took it out and put it in his mother's palm.
"Okay, let's see how mom handles them. By the way, the things in the refrigerator over there were put in this morning, and there's ice cream, which your second sister bought for you in the city this morning. She said it was something, and that small box cost forty or fifty yuan."
"Haagen-Dazs."
"Yes, that's it. Your father, grandfather, and grandmother and I have all eaten it, but we didn't know how delicious it is. If you want to eat something, just open the refrigerator and take it yourself."
As if she was afraid that her son was not familiar with the environment at home, Qiao Xinmei introduced everything from the refrigerator to the bedroom to the bathroom, inside and out, for fear that her son would not be able to find something, and that her son would feel uncomfortable.
Chen Hao could also see that the things prepared for him were all bought by his mother and second sister, and they were all very expensive things. It was the second sister who chose them, but it was the mother who decided to buy them. She would never be willing to buy such expensive things, and she would buy whatever was good for her son.
