Chapter four hundred and eighty nine

When I arrived at my uncle's house, the whole family was picking peanuts in the yard. When I saw Chen Qiaoshan entering the yard, Chen Degui greeted: "Dashan, are you here?"

"Uncle!" Chen Qiaoshan glanced in the yard. Even grandpa and grandma were busy, but he didn't see Chen Jun. He didn't ask, saying, "It's not the time yet. Why have all the peanuts been collected? I see that the village hasn't moved much yet?"

"This is spring peanuts, which are planted with mulch in spring. The earliest crops are usually waiting for a month." The old lady replied, and then asked, "Shan, we are back, why haven't Xiaowu and the others seen each other?"

"Just come back, my sister and the others are very good. They were going to come with me, but it was dark and my mother didn't let me go, saying that she wanted them to come tomorrow morning."

"It's time to take care of it. Xiaowu's girl is very frigid. She rides a bicycle all day long and doesn't worry about falling." The old lady said, and she didn't have time to rest. She picked up a bag of peanut seedlings and pulled down the peanuts covered with mud one by one.

"Milk, times have changed. Let alone riding a bicycle, many women in the city are still driving!" Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but say a few words about the old concept. After all, he bought the bicycle, so the blame was for it.

The old lady of Chen looked at the most promising grandson and said angrily: "You are also uneasy, you have no vision at all. Are you busy? Don't stick around, don't help me."

"Oh." Chen Qiaoshan had no choice but to respond and helped.

He grabbed a peanut, opened it and poured it into his mouth, and said while eating: "The peanut that I just picked is delicious."

The old lady smiled and said, "I haven't done my job yet, but I've eaten it. I remember that Sanya likes to eat boiled peanuts. You will take some back later and let them taste it."

Chen Qiaoshan glanced at the aunt and saw that her face was not very good, so he didn't respond.

Even Tao Xiuying couldn't stand it. Chen Jun's affairs must have caused unhappiness in the two families. It would be normal for anyone to have a good face.

The old lady of Chen's family is a smart man. Seeing that her grandson didn't say anything, she also knew the reason. Seeing that her eldest daughter-in-law was like this, she couldn't say anything.

Times have changed. In the early years, mother-in-law was the head of the family, and only listened to what daughter-in-law told her. Now, the old tradition is unfashionable. The daughter-in-law has the final say inside and outside, and the old lady has to adapt to the situation.

The old lady was also a little angry. The eldest daughter-in-law was really unavailable. The Chen family had the best prospects, and only the youngest children of the youngest family could not be flattered or shy faced each other. Isn’t this pushing her family out?

Mr. Chen was silent all the time, and suddenly said, "Dashan, is it a problem to come here so late?"

As Mr. Chen said, Chen Qiaoshan said, "Grandpa, I'm just saying that my family is going to buy a house in the city. The yard has just been built, and it's spacious and empty. Otherwise, the old man might as well move over to help you see the house."

Everyone in the yard was stunned. Is the youngest family going to enter the city?

It’s not their fault that they were surprised. Many people worked outside these days, but very few could move their homes to the city. Most of them earned some hard money outside and then went back to the village to build a house.

The old lady in Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Dashan, why did you buy a house in the city? Didn't your yard just be built? Are you going to move?"

Chen Qiaoshan threw the handful of peanuts he had just picked into the basket, "That's right."

"Isn't Xiaowu going to junior high school? She has a little unsophisticated mind. The quality of teaching in the city is better. My mother is worried, so she wants to send her to school in the city. Just so happens that the third brother is in the third year of high school and has a lot of academic pressure. After entering the city, she can take care of her life and improve her food from time to time."

"Nonsense, Xiaowu is the smartest, much better than you." The old lady of the Chen family likes her granddaughter very much. She can talk about it, but she can't stand being criticized by others. What's wrong with the poor grades? He hasn't finished studying in junior high school. This is the tradition of the Chen family.

When you meet someone who protects your shortcomings, what else can Chen Qiaoshan say?

The aunt suddenly interrupted, "Dashan, your parents have entered the city, what should I do at home?"

Chen Qiaoshan smiled, "Aren't they all gone, my parents' household registration still in the village, they just went to the city to take care of their three sisters."

The aunt asked again: "The housing prices in the city are not cheap, I'm afraid it's 100,000 or 200,000?"

This is the issue she is most concerned about. Her son also hopes that his youngest family can help to get a down payment for buying a car. If Chen Weiguo buys a house, his plan may be vain.

"It's okay, the down payment is almost done, and the remaining loan is gradually paid."

The old lady worried, "What should I do if my home land is? I have to buy everything in the city. How can your parents live?"

Chen Qiaoshan said: "It is definitely not OK to sit and eat the whole country. My father can't live freely and must find a job in the city. As for land, it depends on whether the uncle will accept it. Anyway, there are subsidies now, and some people are farming."

The old lady frowned, "I'm really quit doing the job of digging wells?"

"No more, give the machine to the second and third uncles. If you want, the car can be transferred to them."

After hearing Chen Qiaoshan's answer, the scene became silent. The Chen family's mama was worried that the youngest was a little too hasty. As for Chen Degui and his wife, they probably thought more.

...

The next morning, the Chen family was having breakfast, and Chen Degui brought Chen Jun to the door.

Tao Xiuying hurriedly got off the dining table and greeted, "His uncle, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten." Chen Degui nodded, and then placed the snakeskin bag in his hand at the door. "This is the peanut I just picked. The old lady is thinking about the third girl and likes it, so she asked me to send it here."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Thank you uncle."

Xiaowu couldn't help but mutter, "I like to eat too."

Chen Qiaoshan taught a lesson: "How do you say hello when you see your uncle? Do you need politeness to teach people?"

Xiao Wu was used to coax people with his mouth. How could it be that Chen Lao Er was rude? She smiled and called "Uncle", but Chen Jun was a little embarrassed on his face, and hurriedly greeted Tao Xiuying, "Auntie."

"The army is here, sit down." Tao Xiuying brought two chairs. She felt a little happy. She was still caring about her son. Xiao Wu was a little wronged. This nephew was also used to it. He didn't even say hello when he came in.

Chen Degui sat for a while and said, "Weiguo, discuss something with you."

"Brother, if you have something to do, just talk."

Chen Weiguo has been the boss of the well-driving team for more than a year. Although his temperament has not changed much, he has mastered his eloquence. He would not speak these stories before.

"His uncle, then you guys talk, I'll go feed the pigs." Tao Xiuying found an excuse to leave.

Anyway, it’s all those things. It’s not appropriate for her to talk about good or bad in person. If it’s really a problem, her husband will definitely have to ask for his own opinions. It’s the same whether he is there or not.

Chen Degui came for the car, just like Chen Qiaoshan thought. Hearing that Chen Weiguo was going to buy a house in the city, Chen Jun changed his mind in just one night.

Everyone likes new cars, but they can't even get the down payment, so Chen Jun has no choice.

Chen Weiguo did not make things difficult for his nephew, so he agreed on the spot and promised that the other party would transfer the car as long as he got the driver's license. As for the purchase of the car, Chen Jun would earn it back as long as he worked hard for a year.

Chen Weiguo also felt a little worried when he saw Chen Degui and his son away.

Although digging a well is a business of making money, it is also a hard work. It is really hard to say whether Chen Jun can endure this hardship. After all, he is his own nephew and must hope that he can make progress. If he is an outsider and has no cash, he will not be able to take one of the wheels away.

Chen Qiaoshan didn't have such concerns. He gave Chen Jun a chance. If he could be at ease, he could continue to help in the future. If he was still the same as before, he couldn't say that this was the last time. After thinking about it, he said, "Dad, I'll send my third brother to report tomorrow. You and mom, let's go to the city to see the house."

"So fast?"

Chen Qiaoshan said: "You can't delay any more. You have to help Xiaowu go to school. School is about to start."
