After rebirth, I just want to lie flat. But circumstances don't allow it!
Mom, Dad, and Big Brother, you all strive and struggle upfront.
Let me work hard at lying flat in the back....
"Chenchen, come here and help me lift this table!"
"Chenchen, help me wash the rag!"
"Chenchen, bring me a broom!"
…
On the day of the Little New Year, Comrade Lao Du and Ren Surong were not idle, and Du Chen and Du Bin were also busy. They spent the whole day doing things within their ability.
Lunch and dinner were just a casual affair, and in the evening, the whole family collapsed on the sofa.
"Oh, New Year's Eve is so tiring!"
Although Du Bin was lying motionless on the sofa, he was still talking.
"What do you think? You've only cleaned for a whole day! We haven't washed the curtains or bed covers yet. We'll do it tomorrow!"
Ren Surong also leaned on the sofa and didn't want to move, but continued to plan tomorrow's affairs.
"Mom and Dad, have you bought the peanuts and melon seeds candies for home?"
Du Chen also collapsed on the sofa, asking Comrade Lao Du and Ren Surong at the same time.
"I haven't had time to buy it yet. Besides, it's too early and the price will be high. Let's wait a little longer!"
Ren Surong said to Du Chen that although his family is quite rich now, Ren Surong is still as frugal as before.
"Mom and Dad, you guys can continue to take care of the house tomorrow. My brother and sister Miaomiao and I are going to the market to buy some dry goods for the New Year."
Du Chen thought for a moment and said to Ren Surong.
"That's fine. You guys don't feel like studying these days anyway, so why not do something else?"
Before Ren Surong could speak, Comrade Lao Du spoke first.
"Okay, your dad has already said so, so you guys go out and buy things tomorrow. Lao Du, remember to give them money tomorrow!"
Ren Surong reminded Comrade Lao Du from the side.
"Mom and Dad, no need. I have money! I can do it myself tomorrow!"
This is their first Spring Festival in the new house, so Du Chen plans to make good preparations, so Du Chen suggested that they go shopping by themselves tomorrow.
After the family chatted briefly for a few more minutes, they all went back to their rooms to sleep. Everyone was exhausted after the day.
……………………
"Chenchen, where are we going?"
The next morning, Du Chen, Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao were standing downstairs, and Du Bin couldn't wait to ask Du Chen.
"Let's go to the roller skating rink first!"
After thinking about it, Du Chen suggested that everyone go to the roller skating rink first.
"Chenchen, do you want to get beaten? Didn't we agree to go shopping? Why did you go to the roller skating rink first?"
Du Bin stared at Du Chen. Although he really wanted to go to the roller skating rink, he was more afraid of getting beaten!
"Brother, what are you thinking? I was planning to ask Li Dewen to borrow a van to take us shopping. Otherwise, how much can we get?"
Du Chen rolled his eyes at Du Bin, then explained to him.
"Chenchen, how much stuff are you planning to buy? Do you even need to borrow a van?"
Ding Miaomiao said to Du Chen with a smile that neither she nor Du Bin had expected how many things Du Chen was going to buy.
"Let's go, just listen to me! Besides, it's so cold, it would be so comfortable to get a van!"
Du Chen regretted that he was too small, otherwise it would be so impressive to drive the Patrol and it could hold more things.
"Okay, since you pay, you have the final say!"
When Du Bin went out, he just had to use his hands and mouth, and not get involved with anything else. He would use his hands to pick up things and his mouth to eat.
After a while, they arrived at the roller skating rink. As soon as they entered the gate, a younger brother came over to greet them.
"Brother Chen, you're here, ready to play for a while?"
"No, where's your boss? I have something to talk to him about!"
"The boss is in the office."
"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go find him myself!"
Du Chen asked where Li Dewen was and walked straight to the roller skating rink. Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao also hurriedly followed Du Chen.
"Hey, Du Chen, you're free to come over today!"
As soon as he entered Li Dewen's office, Li Dewen stood up and said to Du Chen.
"Well, I came to trouble you for something today!"
Du Chen was not polite and started talking to Li Dewen.
"Just tell me what's going on! It's rare that you still have something to ask me!"
When Li Dewen heard that Du Chen asked him for help, he was delighted. He was not afraid that Du Chen would be in trouble, but was afraid that Du Chen would be fine!
"Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I'm planning to buy some New Year's goods for my family. I came to ask if you have a car to help me haul some things."
Du Chen also stated his purpose directly.
"No problem, no problem! Can I give you a call and borrow a van? Then I'll ask Xiami to go with you to buy it!"
Li Dewen asked Du Chen, he had many friends from all walks of life, especially after he opened his own roller skating rink, he met more friends, so it was easy for him to borrow a van.
"A van is best, and it's convenient for us to haul things!"
Du Chen nodded in agreement with Li Dewen.
Seeing that Du Chen had no objection, Li Dewen returned to his desk and made a phone call, then hung up after a while.
"Du Chen, wait a minute, the van will be here soon!"
"OK!"
"Chenchen, I want to go out for a walk!"
Suddenly Ding Miaomiao said to Du Chen.
"Ah? Sure!"
Du Chen immediately realized that Ding Miaomiao wanted to give himself and Li Dewen some time alone.
"Du Bin, come on, take me out for a walk!"
Sure enough, after hearing Du Chen's words, Ding Miaomiao immediately pulled Du Bin out of the office.
"Brother Li, how long do you plan to rest at the roller skating rink?"
Seeing Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao go out, Du Chen started chatting with Li Dewen.
"We've discussed it and decided not to take a break during the Chinese New Year this year!"
Li Dewen's words were both expected and unexpected. Du Chen nodded in understanding.
"The roller skating rink has been getting more and more popular lately, and most of the people here are students. Chinese New Year is coming up soon, and we have some money. We're all hoping to make some extra cash for the holidays, so we've all decided not to take a holiday! We'll all take turns taking a break. Chinese New Year happens every year, but making money doesn't guarantee every year!"
Li Dewen still carefully explained the cause and effect to Du Chen.
"That's fine, as long as everyone has no complaints. Before the New Year, take some money out of your account and give it to everyone! Is there money in the account?"
Du Chen asked Li Dewen, he really didn't know how much money was in this account. Usually Ding Miaomiao's brother was in charge of it, and Du Chen hadn't asked yet.
"We have money! And a lot! But what's the standard?"
Li Dewen asked Du Chen with some embarrassment. He had had the idea of giving everyone some money for the New Year a long time ago, but he didn't know what Du Chen thought. Since Du Chen brought it up today, he might as well let Du Chen decide.
"I think one thousand per person! After all, business has been pretty good in the past six months. What do you think?"
The number Du Chen said made Li Dewen excited. It was almost two months' salary for a regular worker. Li Dewen was quite satisfied.
“Sure, sure!”
