Chapter 835 The Dissatisfaction of the Older Generation
It was only a few days before the Chinese New Year. Han Qian called Kexin and asked him to take some money back to share with his brothers when he went home this year. Although it was not much, Kexin did not refuse and did not arrive. Thanks.
They don't care about this.
A few days after Kexin returned home, Han Qian received a call. The brothers asked when they would have time to have fun together. Han Qian smiled and said that it would take a while. There were a lot of junk things and he was very busy. Then he asked Do they have any idea of coming to the city?
He Faxiao had been on the phone for two hours. He hung up the phone and touched the hot phone. Seeing that there was only 2% battery left, Han Qian opened the door and shouted loudly.
"Warmth! Where's my charger? Come on, come on, it's out of power!"
Wearing slippers, she opened the door and ran outside.
Recently, the old man has tidied up the two rooms in the back room. Han Qian's room has an extra bunk bed. The two of them sleep together. The other room has been turned into a kang by the old man. It is heated every day. Mainly It is used for Yu’s poetry work.
Han Qian just pushed open the door of the west room.
"Eh? Sister Hui, when did you guys come?"
The two sisters from his second uncle's family visit his mother at home every year. They are ordinary people, and Han Qian has a good impression of them.
Fat Sister Hui smiled.
"I came here this morning. I said you were busy. I haven't seen you in a few years. Qian'er has become a young man!"
Han Qian scratched his head in embarrassment. At this time, Wen Nuan reached out and took Han Qian's mobile phone to charge. It was too difficult for her to chat with the cousins of Han Qian's family. Fortunately, Yan Qingqing was also there.
I walked out of the west room and scratched my head. When I opened the door of the east room, I looked at the people in the room. Almost all the relatives at home were here. There were more than a dozen people in the small house, and it was full of smoke.
Han Qian said hello one by one. He had no good impression of these relatives before, but then he thought about how capable they were from rural areas. Moreover, the family had no money at that time, and there was no hope of repaying the money. People who borrow money rarely expect to pay it back.
After saying hello, Han Qian sat down and chatted for a while before leaving the room.
I really don’t know what to talk about.
People in a room sat together chatting awkwardly, talking about their childhood. The last thing Han Qian wanted to remember was his childhood. Because he had no happiness, he walked to the yard and looked at the old man squatting under the eaves. Han Qian frowned and smiled bitterly.
"Your relatives are all here, why don't you come over and talk?"
The old man handed the rolled cigarette to Han Qian.
"Taste it?"
Han Qian shook his head and refused.
"Farewell, I'll be confused after one puff of this thing. I'll give you two cigars tomorrow. I think you can smoke that thing."
After saying this, he squatted down next to the old man, took out a cigarette and lit it. The old man lit the dry cigarette and laughed softly.
"I don't have a good impression of your uncles, but your uncle is a nice person and doesn't look down on me. It's a pity that he left too early."
"Keep your voice down, it won't sound right. This dinner will keep you busy tonight."
"If you don't cook, go out to eat. My son is rich."
"Didn't you say you like cooking?"
"I like to cook for my wife and my son."
What a temper the old man has! No one else could understand it, and maybe Han Qian couldn't understand it now. When Han Qian got up, the old man spoke again.
"When your aunt's relatives come to ask you for help or something, don't open your mouth and just agree. Do you hear me? I despise them even more than your uncles."
"I know, I know! I'm so long-winded."
Go back to the room and continue chatting.
When several uncles asked Han Qian about his current job, Han Qian hesitated and finally said the word "white collar". People of his generation could understand, but the elders did not know what white collar was. In the end, Han Qian explained that he just sat in the office and typed on the computer. of.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Qingqing booked a hotel to entertain her relatives at home. Fortunately, there were many cars at home and they could accommodate them.
Wen Nuan was too lazy to drive, so he pulled Qian'er's mother into Yan Qingqing's Raptor, and then asked Cai Qinghu if he wanted to sit in the car. Cai Qinghu glared at Wen Nuan, and roared away in the R8 with Sister Hui.
The relatives were not surprised by Han Qian, his appearance had not changed much, and he was relatively shy in front of his relatives. What surprised them was the three little girls. Each one's car was more luxurious than the other, and each one spoke more scary than the last one.
They have all seen Nuan Nuan, Han Qian's wife.
Cai Qinghu surprised them. When they arrived at the hotel, Han Qian's second uncle took Han Qian's arm and whispered.
"Grand nephew, this place isn't cheap, is it? No, let's go home and eat. Your father doesn't want to cook. It's not easy for us to make money."
Han Qian put his arm around his second uncle's shoulders and laughed.
"Why are we so polite? When my mother was in the hospital, you brought a cow over. I remember this. A cow costs 10,000 yuan, right?"
The second uncle lowered his head and whispered.
"In the end, your second aunt will have to go back."
"Second uncle, your family status is not good! Why are you acting like this?"
It turned out that Han Qian received a slap on the back of the head, and it was his mother who slapped him.
Everyone walked into the hotel, and as soon as they walked in, they heard Cai Qinghu's nagging, which probably meant that Yan Qingqing was stingy, why did she choose such a crappy place, why not go to Nanhai Fishing Port, where Han Qian and the boss were familiar.
Yan Qingqing stood on tiptoes, pinched Cai Qinghu's face and whispered.
"Can you be quiet for a moment? Think about it with your unintelligent head while you speak!"
Then Cai Qinghu didn't understand.
When they went upstairs, Qian'er's mother told Han Qian to wait for a while. After everyone left, Qian'er's mother slapped Han Qian on the shoulder again. Han Qian covered his shoulders and frowned.
"What happened to me again! Mom! Can you give me a reason next time you hit me?"
Qian'er's mother glared at Han Qin and whispered.
"Stop irritating your second uncle. Last month, I heard your eldest aunt call me. Your second uncle dragged your second aunt to the back hill and wanted to bury her alive. The hole has been dug!"
"What the hell? Are you so awesome?"
Qian'er's mother turned her head and slapped Han Qian six or seven times on the shoulder.
When he went upstairs, Han Qian was still thinking, second uncle is 1.85 meters tall, but second aunt is only 1.5 meters tall? Maybe not, it's not like carrying a chick? Then Han Qian thought of his second uncle's tragic life.
At that time, a very talented college student also had a girl he liked. When his second uncle came home from graduation and discussed the bride price with Grandpa Han Qian, the father and son had a big fight. Within a year, his second uncle married his second aunt.
Arranged marriages.
A college student who is 1.85 meters tall and a country girl who is 1.5 meters tall.
No matter how he thought about it, Han Qian felt that it was not a good match.
The second uncle never spoke to Han Qian's grandfather. In the end, his grandfather died of liver cancer. Before closing his eyes, the second uncle went over and took a look, but still didn't speak.
Grandpa’s domineering behavior ruined my second uncle’s life.
It also reduced a college student full of ideals and fantasies to a country man who drinks three meals a day and drives sheep and cattle.
It's not that Han Qian thinks that his second aunt's background is not good, he is also from a rural area. Han Qian yearns for the city and thinks that his second uncle should also belong to a prosperous city.
College students in the 1970s were more valuable than many college students today!
Looking at his second uncle who was smiling innocently, Han Qian sighed silently.
Maybe everyone's life is not what they can arrange, just like his second uncle, he just missed him. Thinking of this, Han Qian looked at the old man. The old man's life seemed to go according to his own wishes.
Why is this?
Everyone was enjoying themselves at the dinner table. The second uncle told Han Qian not to go home during the Chinese New Year, and when he was not busy, when he was talking. Han Qian smiled and said he was not busy. After that, Han Qian became a transparent person, and the old man also almost.
Nuan Nuan is still the brightest protagonist, but she has no interest in the food in the hotel. She smiles when praised and does not take the initiative to speak.
The meal lasted for two hours. Cai Qinghu booked a hotel for them. They all drank and went back tomorrow. Qian'er's mother stayed at the hotel and chatted with her relatives. The old man also stayed behind. He was worried about Qian'er's mother. body of.
In the car going home, Yan Qingqing was driving, and Han Qian sat in the passenger seat and sighed.
"It's Chinese New Year! This year's Chinese New Year seems to be busier than every year!"
