The town where the Chen family is located is located in the southwestern border of Henan Province, next to northwestern Hubei, and is located at the junction of the two provinces. Time here seems to be imprisoned.

In the past year, real estate has been established as a new pillar industry of the national economy, and the housing market has begun.

Zhongguancun is being demolished vigorously, and Dengzhou is no exception. Even the earthen wall has been dug up, but when walking in the town, Chen Qiaoshan cannot feel much change. The only difference from the previous one is that a new Internet cafe has been opened next to the old food station. It seems that no one can stop the Internet tide.

Chen Qiaoshan remembered it very clearly that there was a tailor shop there before. The master's surname was Tian. He had a disabled leg and his tailor skills were outstanding. Everyone in the town called him Master Tian, ​​but no one mentioned his real name.

Even in the 1990s, those who were poor in the countryside would have a better life unless they were working on side jobs outside, and the rest would have just passed the food and clothing line.

There are too many children like the Chen family, and it takes a lot of trouble to raise the tuition fee, let alone buy new clothes.

Chen Qiaoshan still vaguely remembers that in the past, if he could pull a few feet of cloth into Master Tian’s shop and make a new dress during the Chinese New Year, he would have been very happy this year. Of course, such a good thing may not be once every three or two years. Most of the time, he would pick up some old clothes from his cousins.

The Chen family used to be poor, and the third brother came first during the holidays. Because there were three girls in the family, Chen Xi could still wear Chen Wan, and finally got the fifth one.

Thinking of the past of the Chen family, Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but smile. According to economic principles, the intrinsic value of the goods was increased exponentially according to the principles of economics.

After entering the town, the wheel of the suitcase finally came into play. Xiao Wu finally stopped pulling it hard and became much lighter. When she turned around and saw Chen Qiaoshan's appearance, she asked, "Second brother, why are you laughing at?"

The times are developing, and the tailor shop has been eliminated. The Chen family no longer has to make things difficult for a few clothes, just don’t know the future of the town: where is the way out.

Chen Qiaoshan signaled to the newly opened Internet cafe not far away and said, "Do you remember that? It used to be a tailor shop. One year during the Chinese New Year, you clamored to ask for new clothes, but our mother didn't agree. As a result, you cried all day long. Do you still have the impression?"

"No, you're talking nonsense!" When I heard the embarrassing things I had when I was a child, Xiao Wu would definitely not admit it, no matter whether I remember it or not.

"Second brother, do you still remember? One year, my mother bought you a new jacket, but before she could get the first water, you pulled a big hole in your pocket. I still remember my mother was holding a yellow jing slap to suck you."

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "You are so embarrassed to say that you were still clapping and applauding at the time, without any conscience."

Xiao Wuya was sharp-tongued, and the brother and sister were both quarreling, but they even fought to the point.

When I arrived at the hardware store, Chen Weiguo was indeed here.

Chen Weiguo was very happy to see his son coming back, but he just looked up and down and asked simply: "Are you back?"

"I'm back." Chen Qiaoshan nodded.

The father and son are somewhat similar in appearance and figure, but Chen Weiguo has been living a hard life over the years and has rough and dark skin. Although he is over fifty years old, he does not look much old. His figure is stronger than Chen Qiaoshan. This is a trace left by years of heavy physical labor.

The shop owner wearing labor protection uniforms walked out of the warehouse behind with a plate of cables. When he saw Chen Qiaoshan, he felt his eyes wide open. He couldn't help but take a look, "Old Chen, is this your boy?"

Chen Weiguo was very proud, and his voice became a little higher unconsciously, and he said, "My second boy just came back from school."

The middle-aged man was surprised. He threw the cable on the counter and stared at Chen Qiaoshan up and down, "What a skill. It's amazing to be admitted to Peking University from our small place. Old Chen, I really envy you. Not only do you have children and daughters, but you are so promising..."

The affairs of the Chen family in Qianwang Village are no secret in the town.

In the early years, the youngest daughter-in-law of the Chen family was admitted to Tsinghua University. This incident caused a sensation. Not only the villages, but also the county cadres came to report the good news.

Many people only thought that Chen Weiguo's fate was good, but in just two years, he made a big news about his wife and children. He didn't get a divorce in that year, especially when he was dumped by a woman, Chen Weiguo became a laughing stock in the village.

More than twenty years have passed in a flash, things have changed, and the old things have disappeared, and no one has mentioned them again.

Who would have thought that Chen Weiguo, who had married and had children, became the object of envy again.

Who asked the family to grow well? My son actually got back from the provincial top scorer and earned his own face back for the sake of his family.

Then I looked at the little daughter standing between the father and son. She looked like a flower bud and was as pleasant as she looked at it. The family was obviously blessed.

The shop owner was very convinced, and the fate of a person was really indefinite.

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. His son graduated from junior high school and went out to work early. At most, he would come back to take over the business. He had already seen his life at first sight, and then he looked at the Chen family. Maybe it was just the beginning.

...

When he got home, Chen Ma was full of joy.

"How long has it been on vacation? I'm outside every day and I know to come back!" She complained, then pinched her son's arm, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "I'm still so thin, why don't I get fat?"

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "Mom, am I back now? You have to make more delicious food for me, even if I become a pig, I will accept it."

Chen's mother patted her son on the back, "Don't talk nonsense, you'll know nonsense all day long."

The third and fourth brothers also came out. Chen Xi took the backpack from Chen Qiaoshan, but Chen Wan didn't care about that and directly complained: "Second brother, you didn't come back for my birthday a few days ago."

"Okay, I'm ready for the gift." Chen Qiaoshan was used to the storm, and it should be no problem to deal with a few sisters.

The result was very unhappy. As soon as he entered the door and sat down, the three sisters of the Chen family had serious differences for the gift.

"I chose this first, and my second brother said it was my birthday gift." This is Chen Wan. She and Chen Xi both took a fancy to the Jaeger-LeCoultre Ladies Silk Chain Watch with a blue dial.

Chen Xi had already taken it first. She played with her watch and said, "My birthday is the first day of the first lunar month, why don't you change the reason?"

Chen Wan was choked, but she had no choice but to deal with Chen Xi, but she just refused to follow her.

"Second brother, you are partial, and you have third and fourth sisters, why don't you have one?" Xiaowu was not easy to meet. She held Chen Qiaoshan's T-shirt and refused to let go, as if she was suffering a huge grievance.

Chen Qiaoshan knew that he had made a mistake, but it was too late to regret it.

"Xiao Wu, isn't the white piece still there? Aren't you quite smart? Go, whoever takes it will belong to you!"

Before Xiaowu could react, Chen Wan had already taken away the white dial watch. She knew very well that if Xiaowu got it, she would have nothing left.

This is not the end, Chen Wan angrily said to Chen Qiaoshan again: "Second brother, you have no sincerity at all."

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but retort: ​​"I'm a little conscience, that's what I bought for you from Hong Kong, and it's tens of thousands."

"How much?" Chen's mother was shocked. She knew that her son could make trouble. She earned a lot of money quietly, but she couldn't accept it in any case for spending tens of thousands to buy a watch. "Second, you don't have a fever, you can buy a watch after spending tens of thousands?"

Chen Qiaoshan knew the bad things and hurriedly remedy it: "Mom, just kidding, it's Korean won. One dollar can be exchanged for one hundred and eight, which is only a few hundred yuan."

"Just fool around. Hong Kong is a place in China. Can it cost Korean won?" Tao Xiuying couldn't help but glar at Chen Qiaoshan.

Her son was born, so how could he not see through his little thoughts? He bought it all, so she had to instruct Chen Xi and Chen Wan: "Please keep it well, be careful, don't bump it."

The third and fourth brothers were not stupid either, so they agreed honestly, and then happily played with the new gift. Only Xiaowu was left to stay there stupidly. After a while, she finally couldn't help it, "Where is my gift?"

But Chen's mother was not used to her faults, "Didn't you wear it on your hands? How many days have you been beautiful?"

Xiao Wu was so angry that he cried out in grievance, "I bought this electronic watch for only twelve yuan. I bought it from Hong Kong. Can I compare it?"

"Twelve yuan is not money. If you earn one yuan, I'll see?" Chen's mother was amazing. She kept silent after a few words, but she still sobbed.

Chen Qiaoshan also felt that he was a bit too much. If he had known to buy one more piece, it would have been broken. What could he do if it was broken?

Looking at Xiao Wu's sadness and feeling very pitiful, he thought for a while and said, "Xiao Wu, why don't you do this? I'll buy you one more when I go back to Yanjing. By the way, the food in my bag is all for food, and it's also bought in Hong Kong, all of it is yours."

When he wrapped it next to Chen Xi, he saw that the third sister was trying to do something, Xiaowu stopped crying and snatched Chen Qiaoshan's TUMI backpack in his hand, "Mine is mine."

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "It's all yours, and the bag is also yours."

Xiao Wu was still sad, and she gave Chen Qiaoshan a blank look again, "I'm talking about the delicious food inside."

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but laugh and cry. After a long time of work, in the eyes of the little girl, brand-name bags were not as attractive as they were. I just hope that she could maintain this normal mind in her life.

Chen Qiaoshan offended Xiao Wu so much that he ignored him until he had eaten.

Chen Xi and Chen Wan have been helping with the dumplings made by Chen Ma in the evening. She has been helping with the kitchen since she was a child. She is very good at making dumplings, but she didn't let Chen Qiaoshan intervene.

When people leave their hometowns and go out, they always think about the home-cooked taste. Chen Qiaoshan enjoyed this meal of dumplings.

After dinner, Chen's mother reminded: "Second, my grandma has been talking about you for half a month. Taking advantage of the cold, I will go to my uncle's house to get rid of food."

"Okay." Chen Qiaoshan agreed, and it took three or five months to go out, so he should walk around.

Chen Qiaoshan went out in the dark, and Xiaowu followed him out with a big flashlight. He couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong? I'm not angry anymore?"

At the end of June, the sky was filled with stars, but there was no moonlight at all, and the surroundings were pitch black.

Xiao Wu held the flashlight and said hummingly: "Second brother, you are just biased."

Chen Qiaoshan said: "Okay, how come there are those ideas? I only have three sisters, and each one is equal. If you want to be biased, you will also be more biased towards you."

"I don't believe it." Xiao Wu was obviously very angry, but the surroundings were dark and dark, so she still leaned closer, "Second brother, you said just now, go to Yanjing to buy me one?"

"Buy it for you, and you can choose it yourself."

"A word is determined." Xiao Wu was relieved, "Second brother, tell me what Yanjing looks like, is it much bigger than Dengzhou?"

...

The brother and sister chatted all the way and went to the uncle's house.

A whole family was enjoying the cool air in the yard and watching TV. When they saw Chen Qiaoshan, the old lady in the Chen family complained: "Shan, how many of us are you back?"

Xiaowu said first: "My grandma, my second brother just came back in the afternoon, I'll pick it up from the town."

The old lady couldn't help but smile, "How old are you? Every girl is from a family. Don't run to the town if you have nothing to do in the future."

"Don't worry, I'm with my dad." Xiao Wu argued, then said with a smile: "My grandma, my second brother has brought you a gift."

As she said that, she took the bag in Chen Qiaoshan's hand like a treasure, "Here, these are all brought back by my second brother from Hong Kong."

There are not many people in Qianwang Village who can go to high school, let alone college students who have passed the exam.

There are many people working in the south, but they all live in the voyage. I have heard of it in Hong Kong that before the start of free travel, I don’t have the opportunity to go there.

Everyone in the yard was very curious, and the eldest aunt asked, "Xiao Wu, what are they?"

"I don't know either, my second brother said it was medicine." Xiao Wu stammered and couldn't tell the reason.

The uncle asked, "Dashan, did you really buy it in Hong Kong?"

Chen Qiaoshan nodded, "It's all common medicines."
