Chapter 441 New Year's Eve
"Old Yu, are you posting couplets so early?"
Standing aside, Mr. Yu directed Chen Nan: "Oh, the horizontal line is crooked, the left side is a little higher, right right... just right!"
While smiling, he said to the old neighbor beside him: "I won't celebrate the New Year here this year, so I posted it in advance."
The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Oh? These two are..."
Yu Mei smiled and said: "Apprentice, and apprentice's wife."
"I'm going to my apprentice's house to celebrate the New Year this year."
The old man smiled: "Alright, I won't leave you alone at home."
"Shall I arrange a porter?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mei waved her hand: "No need, someone from the company is here."
"However, Lao Liu, are you celebrating the New Year here this year?"
Hearing this, the old man nodded: "Well, this year a large family will come here, and there are many rooms here."
"Hey, I think you look familiar, young man."
Yu Mei introduced: "I've been on TV, Chen Nan!"
When Lao Liu heard this, he was immediately happy: "Oh, I said, it's Chen Nan, no wonder he can fly this red flag."
Chen Nan jumped off the stool: "Hi, I'm Chen Nan."
Old Liu stood up from the saddle and shook hands with Chen Nan: "I heard Mu Hai said that you, young man, are doing well."
"However, you are right to pick it up with Master."
"For the sake of the New Year, go to my house to beg for wine."
"Hahaha……"
Yu Mei also couldn't help but glared at the other party: "You old guy, it's you who want to drink my wine."
After some conversation, the two laughed hahaha.
Old Liu continued: "I have lived here for fifteen years, and when you come back, to be honest, I really miss your wine."
Lao Yu said with a smile: "No need to read, I'll get you a few bottles."
Old Liu quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need, people are the food when it comes to drinking, and it's the right way to drink with the right people."
"There are more guards here this year, so you don't have to worry about safety."
Old Yu nodded: "You are here, I am sure."
After pasting the gate, Shang Chaoyan helped Yu Mei into the courtyard, while Chen Nan followed with his business.
"Grandpa Yu, this person looks familiar to me?"
Yu Mei smiled: "You must be familiar, the one in the elementary school text is his father!"
After Chen Nan heard it, he was taken aback for a moment, and after a moment of hesitation, he couldn't help but say something in surprise...
"The one from Dabie Mountain?!"
Yu Mei smiled slightly: "Who else is there besides him?"
Shang Chaoyan also covered her mouth: "My mother!"
"This land is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"
"When I come here in the future, I have to...don't dare to speak loudly?"
Yu Mei also laughed: "It's not that exaggerated, everyone is very good."
"Be normal."
After returning to the house and locking the door, Yu Mei asked Chen Nan to put some valuables in a secret basement at home.
After coming down, Chen Nan really understood what it means to have seen the world!
"I spent a lot of money to build this, and there is no problem with the security facilities."
"For this reason, I also set up a security company."
"You take these bottles of wine, and... I have to pick some pieces of jade."
"I heard that your brother's child is coming out soon, right?"
"It's just right, bring a safety lock for the doll."
Chen Nan smiled awkwardly: "No, no!"
"Too precious, master."
Yu frowned and stared at Chen Nan: "Precious?"
"Hehe... Ouch!"
"Who do you say I gave these things to when I died?"
"Aren't they all yours?"
"Hey... You said that I have been traveling all my life, but in the end, I found out that I made a wedding dress for you bastard."
"Are you already starting to feel sorry for you?"
Chen Nan couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't dare, don't dare."
Yu Mei walked back and forth, and suddenly opened a box, which was densely packed with all kinds of jade randomly placed.
He picked up a few and took them out and put them in his pocket: "Well, that's all!"
"To be honest, Miss Chaoyan is pretty good, with a good personality."
"This appearance, in our previous words, has reached the standard for choosing a concubine!"
"You know that?"
"Do you think the emperor chooses his concubine only based on appearance? Wrong!"
"There are a lot of talents in that family's house. In addition to your family background, the selection also depends on whether you have the appearance of Fulongwangfu."
"This morning face, in ancient times, where would it be your turn!"
"Don't look at mediocrity, but you really have a good fate, and... I'm thinking, you two will have more sons and fewer daughters in the future."
"I'm also proficient in physiognomy, with profound blessings, and I can deceive my descendants."
"Treat my girl well!"
While walking, Yu Mei panted and talked, babbling endlessly, but... her heart was very comfortable.
It seems that the backlog of gloom in his heart has also dissipated a lot.
After choosing for a long time, Yu Mei finally packed up.
Looking at this pile of things, Chen Nan couldn't laugh or cry.
Although it's just the tip of the iceberg in the basement, it's enough to shock the circle when you take it out. Those precious items, authentic works of famous masters, can't be seen at all if they are placed casually.
Leave the basement and come out later.
Old Yu blushed!
Chen Nan was taken aback for a moment, and then he noticed...
Shang Chaoyan was washing clothes.
And there is a rope in the room, which is already covered with Yu Mei's usual clothes, as well as...socks and underwear...
"Grandpa Yu, let's go out for a few days. I've packed and packed your clothes for you."
"Some old ones, I washed them for you and hung them in the room. When I come back, I will clean them up for you. You don't need to trouble yourself."
"Oh, your undershirt is full of holes. I searched and searched, but couldn't find any new clothes. Let's go back and I'll take you to buy new clothes."
"In the future, you really have to live with us!"
"A person can't take care of himself well..."
As Shang Chaoyan was talking, Yu brows and nose turned sour, and the sockets of his eyes turned red.
to be honest……
This is the first time he has felt warm in decades.
Such a prodigal son who was born in a wealthy family and lived a chic life feels an unprecedented sense of "home" here.
After packing up her things, Shang Chaoyan covered the bed with a layer of sheets to avoid dust.
Then I started packing things and putting them in the car.
After busy work, it was noon.
Just as he was about to go out for a light meal, he saw Mr. Liu when he went out.
"Where are we going?"
"Didn't you eat?"
"Go to my house and eat something."
"Let's go!"
Yu Mei also smiled: "Let's go!"
The meal at noon is very simple, home-cooked food cooked by the chef, because I have to drive, I don't drink alcohol.
Even before leaving, Mr. Liu took care of the guards and stuffed a box of wine and a few cigarettes in Chen Nan's trunk.
Chen Nan also couldn't laugh or cry.
Seeing that the huge trunk was full at this time, he had a feeling of robbery.
...
The car was driving on the highway, and Chen Nan drove extremely smoothly.
Shang Chaoyan and Yu Mei sat in the back row, and they seemed to have endless topics to talk about.
From time to time, there were bursts of laughter.
Warm and harmonious, very cheerful.
Chen Nan was not in a hurry, and took a rest several times in the service area.
It was not until the evening when the sun was setting that we arrived at the village and drove for more than five hours.
This year's Chinese New Year, as usual, in my hometown.
The Chen family's house is relatively big, and they had greeted them before coming here, so Chen Wenyin naturally tidied up a clean room.
The sheets and bedding are brand new.
After Mr. Yu got off the car, he was a little embarrassed at first.
However, it didn't take long to get used to it.
After all, the Chen family has a carefree personality, and they also respect Chen Nan's mentor.
In the evening, the two families had dinner together.
The Chen family's yard has been remodeled this year. An automated shed was built in the yard, and a large stove was fired.
In the evening, everyone simply ate in the yard, which was spacious and lively.
What's more, it's very warm in the yard!
You can even see the moon and stars in the sky when you look up.
After everyone drank some wine, Chen Jinhe also took the lead, insisting on pulling Yu Mei to recognize his godfather.
"Old Yu, don't worry!"
"In the future, you can rest assured to live with us."
"Chen Nan calls you Grandpa, and we will take care of you."
Yu Mei smiled and tears came out.
At his level, there has never been a lack of those who have been sent to work, but Yu Lao, who has seen countless people, can naturally tell the difference.
He also felt and knew the enthusiasm and sincerity of the Chen family.
And Chen Jinhe
it's not finished yet!
After drinking, he took Shang Chaoyan's father's hand and said, "Old Shang!"
"Tell me, these two children are going around, and they are together again!"
"Look, today is also a good day."
"How about getting engaged?"
The old merchant also drank a lot of wine, but Chen Jinhe can't compare to the things that people who run a restaurant usually do when they drink.
Now my mind is very clear!
He patted his thigh and said, "This girl was saved by Uncle Chen, and she grew up watching her."
"At that time, I will let you make a baby kiss."
"I tell you, this girl, no one can enter."
"I can only enter your Chen family."
"Just marry Chen Nan!"
"I said!"
"I don't want a penny of the bride price."
"I also want to post a house for you young couple as a dowry."
"You old Chen is rich, but...you can't underestimate my girl!"
"Also, Chen Nan..."
When Yu Mei heard this, she also patted the table and settled down: "I'm in charge."
"Chen Nan, you boy, if you bully Chaoyan in the future, I will settle the score with you!"
Chen Nan and Shang Chaoyan, who were the parties involved, were dumbfounded.
This is a good meal.
How did it become an engagement banquet?
Sitting aside, Chen An and Song Simi, and Shang Chaoyan's brother and sister-in-law watched the scene with a smile, but they didn't say anything, instead they chatted with each other.
"How many months has it been?"
"Eight months!"
"Hey, you can walk around more during this time, and you will be better then, but after eight months, every day will be difficult. Chen An, you should take care of yourself. At this time, although it is said to be safe, it will be difficult at any time. possible."
Chen An smiled and nodded: "Well, I know."
"No, I'm not going to work there, I'll stay in Yuancheng first, and wait until the baby is stabilized."
"Yes, this is a big deal, children are your future!"
...
It was more than ten o'clock in the evening.
The old businessman also drank too much and hugged Chen Jinhe and talked drunk.
Chen Jinhe's wine is the kind that dares to call Chen Nan brothers and sisters after drinking, he is a weakling.
The two cried about the difficulty of so many years.
And Chen Wenyin pulled Shang Chaoyan's mother, laughed and chatted about the two children's childhood, and burst into laughter from time to time.
The brothers and sisters-in-law on both sides talked happily and talked about the children.
It was the first time for Yu Mei to participate in such a big family. Her eyes were flickering, but her heart was warm and down-to-earth. It felt different from before, as if... it had taken root.
In the winter night, it is very quiet.
The charcoal fire in the stove is very strong, and it burns very warmly.
Watching everyone chatting, listening to laughter, and feeling the warmth of home.
Maybe this is what it feels like to be truly alive?
On the other hand, Shang Chaoyan's little niece looked at the group of people alone, very boring.
Seeing Yu Mei sitting there alone, she smiled and slipped over.
"Grandpa, are you crying?"
Yu eyebrows froze, and wiped the corners of his eyes: "No, there is sand in the eyes."
The little niece looked at Yu Mei with a sly look on her face: "Hmph, it's a lie, it's always written like this in TV dramas!"
"Hahahaha..." Yu Mei couldn't help laughing.
And the little niece took out a piece of paper, wiped Yu Mei's eyes, then grabbed his hand and said, "The teacher said that it is natural for children to cry."
"Adults are actually very hard, very tired."
"Grandpa, you must be lonely, it's okay."
"I'll accompany you!"
"By the way, let me tell you a story..."
Pulling at Yu eyebrows, the old and the young, and the two friends who had forgotten their age, actually chatted for real.
Chen Nan and Shang Chaoyan saw everyone chatting here, but no one paid any attention to them.
Shang Chaoyan gave Chen Nan a wink, left the courtyard, and walked outside the gate.
Chen Nan picked up the clothes hanging on the wall, and naturally followed them out.
The leaves rustled.
The moon hangs high in the sky.
It's just a little cold.
The source city has not started to snow this year.
Shang Chaoyan jumped straight up, sat on the bluestone, and said with a smile: "Come, sit next to me."
"hurry up!"
"It's cold!"
Chen Nan smiled, and sat down next to Shang Chaoyan.
The other party took advantage of the situation and directly laid his head crookedly on Chen Nan's shoulder.
The two just looked at the sky and the courtyard quietly, without speaking.
After a long time, Shang Chaoyan suddenly smiled.
"I feel so happy!"
After finishing speaking, he tilted his head, stared wide-eyed, and looked at Chen Nan.
Chen Nan smiled, put his arms around the other party, and nodded: "Yes!"
While speaking, he gently stamped Shang Chaoyan's face.
It made the other party shy for a while.
Although the two had already established a relationship during this time.
But... such sweet moments are rare.
"We're going to keep going like this, right?"
After a long time, Shang Chaoyan suddenly said something.
Chen Nan shook his head: "That depends on whether you dislike me or not!"
"Ahhhhhh..."
"Will you be more romantic!"
"I despise you to death now!"
Chen Nan laughed.
Look at the depth of the sky.
Feel the warmth of those around you.
Listen to the laughter in the yard.
Perhaps, happiness is that simple.
How I wish this moment could be forever...
...
...
The next day, it was the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month.
On this day, some old friends came to the Chen family.
Chen Nan got up relatively late, and it felt very comfortable to sleep until he woke up naturally.
Chen Jinhe didn't have such a good life. He got up early in the morning to clean up the things in the yard, and then started to heat up the stove.
The whole person was ashamed.
Old man Yu obviously drank too much last night and was tired. He just got up now, wearing exercise clothes, and sitting in the yard drinking porridge.
After Chen Nan came out, he saw Zhuang Xun and Xiao Tongfu squatting in the corner, looking at some wine bottles.
"Old Chen, you... are not kind!"
"This wine...you drank four bottles in one night?"
"Oh my god, this can be replaced by a house."
Chen Jinhe was also taken aback for a moment: "Why is the wine so expensive?"
"Nonsense."
And Xiao Tongfu shook his head at this time: "It's not about money, okay?"
"This thing can't flow out at all."
"We don't necessarily have a chance to get the head of Jin Province."
"You have four or five bottles a night."
"Hey... my heart hurts to death."
"There's still some left in this bottle, what a waste..."
As soon as the words finished, Chen Nan also came out: "Uncle Zhuang, Uncle Xiao, hello, you came here so early."
Zhuang Xun nodded: "I'll just say, you must have brought it."
"Otherwise, can I drink this wine?"
"Oh, no, no..."
"Old Xiao, look at this bottle of wine, good guy...why does this bottle look so much like Song Dynasty?"
"Old Chen, what kind of wine did you put in such a good wine bottle?"
Xiao Tongfu hurriedly and carefully picked up the bottle, heartbroken.
Looking at the two of them, Yu Mei couldn't help but smile slightly at the corner of her mouth.
At this time, Xiao Tongfu suddenly saw Yu Mei, rubbed his eyes, and walked over in a little panic.
"Yu... Yu Lao?!"
"You are Old Yu!"
"Why are you here?"
Chen Jinhe said as a matter of course: "Ah, my godfather, why can't I be here."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tongfu smiled wryly: "This wine bottle, Lao Chen, please quickly fill it up!"
"You are the only person in the world who can hold wine in this bottle!"
"A good fellow from the Song Dynasty."
Yu Mei smiled: "Are you a child of the Xiao family?"
"Acquainted with Jin He?"
Xiao Tongfu nodded excitedly: "That's right, Mr. Yu, Mr. Chen and I are good friends and partners."
Yu Mei then nodded: "Well, good."
Then he put on the bowl and sent it to the kitchen, and said in his clothes, "You guys talk, I'll go out for a stroll."
Shang Chaoyan walked in at this time: "Grandpa Yu, I will take you there."
After Mr. Yu left, the two men's eyes widened: "Old Chen, when did you recognize your godfather!"
"How can you learn from Gao Qiqiang?!"
The corner of Chen Jinhe's mouth twitched: "Gao Qiqiang? What class is he, and he also recognizes his godfather like me!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
No way, your son is the richest man, you are amazing!
OK?
When Mr. Yu came, the two of them didn't stay for too long. They were embarrassed to disturb the old man, so they left.
The Chinese New Year in the village is a bit more smoky than in the city.
After Shang Chaoyan came back, he dragged Chen Nan to visit the source city.
The two bought Yu Lao new clothes for the New Year, cut his hair, and corrected his eyebrows and beard.
Yu Lao couldn't close his mouth happily.
I can't even wait for the New Year's Eve.
It is said that old age returns to youth, but in fact it is so.
Because the elderly, like children, will feel insecure when they get old.
And this year is the happiest year for Yu Mei.
On the evening of his thirties, Chen Jinhe was rich and powerful, and even organized a fireworks show.
Lying on the deck chair in the yard, you can see clearly.
In the past few days, Yu Mei has been very moist.
And on the morning of the first day of the new year, when the New Year greetings begin.
Mr. Yu sat in the first seat, and everyone paid New Year's greetings one by one.
Yu Mei is happy to smile.
It's not a problem to make a move.
Originally, I came here this time and brought a lot of good things.
Mr. Yu naturally sent a little bit to everyone.
Even Song Simmei's unborn child has the first lucky money in his life.
Interestingly, when Yu Mei stuffed a safety lock to Song Simei, the doll kicked her belly and bulged.
It made everyone laugh.
The little guy is also joining in the fun.
When I was in the first grade of junior high school, I thought that no one would come.
But Yu Mei's arrival attracted many people.
Many people from Xiao's family came here to pay New Year's greetings to Yu Mei.
However, Yu Lao didn't give anything this time.
Rules are rules.
Courtesy is courtesy.
This Xiao family can be regarded as everyone, but in front of Yumei, it is not enough to see.
It turned out that Xiao's elders belonged to Grandpa Yumei's house.
And later, after the Xiao family also left, with the help of Grandpa Mei, they became a well-known big businessman at that time.
Although Yu Mei seems to be alone now, his influence and status, if you really talk about it, are not small.
After the excitement, Chen Nan's house piled up a lot of good things.
However, after the first day of junior high school, there was an important thing.
On a good day, Chen Jinhe took Chen Nan with him, and he and Shang Chaoyan were officially engaged.
The wedding date is set for May 2 this year.
In this way, Chen Nan finally settled down.
New Year's Eve is always so fast.
Not long after, a few days passed.
Chen Nan is about to embark on the journey back to Beijing.
But the old man Yu has been smiling these few days, but he looks a year younger.
Even Yu Mei, who never bothered to show off.
For the first time this year, I had video chats with several of Chen Nan's teachers one after another.
It made many old guys disgusted and happy.
We are all old friends for decades.
It is also very happy to see Yu Mei with such an appearance and mentality now.
Meet back in the capital and get together again!
...
...
Although Chen Nan is very free these days, he has been paying attention to one thing.
That's what the World Health Organization Miro mentioned about hepatitis E.
The high incidence season of hepatitis E is spring.
And this winter is not very cold.
Judging from this year's solar terms, it seems that the situation may also be slightly more serious.
Chen Nan had to keep in touch in his spare time.
On this day, Chen Nan just came back.
Ge Yerong called.
"Chen Nan, come to the hospital quickly."
"We received a call here, Director Qin of the Health and Medical Commission, let us prepare for support!"
When Chen Nan heard it, his expression changed immediately: "It's liver E?!"
Ge Yerong nodded: "It should be right!"
"India took the lead in breaking out."
"Now, some patients have been sent to the hospital."
...
ps: Thank you for the arrogant 10,000 reward from the boss of "Don't care about it", thank you.
I also thank the old friend of "Ordinary One" for his heroic 1500 reward.
Thank you bosses!
