"He's back, he's back, my uncle is back."

The lights in the yard were on and the children were playing outside. When they saw the lights, they hurried to tell the adults in the house.

Song Zidong's daughter can walk now. She and Ji Zhaocheng's son are the youngest. She clapped her hands and cheered with her brothers and sisters. No one knew what the older children were so happy about.

The car stopped in the yard. After getting out of the car, Zhao Xunyou looked at the people in the yard and wanted to back out.

There are too many people here.

But everyone seemed to get along well.

Song Chen gave him a brief introduction, and after everyone greeted each other, they went into the house.

"Xiao Nan, go get the chopsticks and the bowl."

It has been a long time since we last saw each other. Song Nan has grown a lot taller. The food has been served on the table. The three tables have been put together so the children don’t have to sit alone at one table.

Everyone sat down, and Zhao Xunyou looked around and saw that there were fifteen people.

In the countryside, there is no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. What matters is just being happy.

What everyone is most concerned about is why Lin Lu and the others didn't come back.

Song Nan also said: "I haven't seen Xiaobei for a long time. I heard that he participated in the competition. Is it not over yet?"

Song Song and Song Yuan also missed their nephew. They had said before that they would give Lin Jingbei a big red envelope after he passed the exam. Moreover, they said: "We haven't given him any New Year's money yet."

Song Chen took two bites of rice and said, "I'm already in Japan."

Japan?

Japanese devils?

Everyone's reaction was the same as when Li Xianglian and her husband first heard the news. They let their child go to such a faraway place. Aren't they afraid that the child will be bullied? The people over there are really bad.

Everyone was discussing who the child was going with.

Song Chen: I think I have already told you that after the competition here is over, we will go abroad to compete.

I've forgotten all about the feelings.

"Going there to compete is also to win glory for the country. Don't worry, there are people to protect them."

"Is that the competition you mentioned last time?" Song Song asked.

Song Chen: "He won a prize here and made it into the final selection team."

Song Jiajia knew about this competition and was happy for her brother, but she hadn't asked her aunt about the Beijing-Beijing competition yet.

"Uncle, was Xiaobei accepted? Which school did he choose? It should be Peking University like Auntie."

Song Chen shook his head: "No, he didn't want to go too far away from home, so he chose Fudan University in Shanghai."

Fudan University?

Although the ranking is not as good as the other two, it is still pretty good, at least it ranks first in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

"Not bad."

Song Xixi hadn't even finished chewing the food in her mouth yet, her mouth wide open, "So he's going to college soon?"

Song Chen: "Yes, I will officially start school in September."

Song Xixi: "Hahahahaha."

Like crazy.

"I ran into my aunt the day I went home. She was bragging to me about her son getting into the city's No. 2 Middle School. Hahahaha. She even asked me about you and my uncle. If she knew Xiaobei was going to college this year, and that he was recommended, would she be so angry that she couldn't eat or sleep?"

The more she thought about that scene, the more she couldn't hold back her smile. It was so satisfying.

Song Chen didn't want to have anything to do with the people over there: "Don't worry about her, let's just live our own lives."

Song Yuan: "He even called me before the New Year to borrow money. He used to not call me all year round, fearing you would go to his house to ask for money. Now he understands the deep friendship between brothers and calls me once a week."

Song Chen: "Don't lend it to him. It's a loan that will never come back. If you have money, save it and buy a house. Buy Xiaojia a house in Shanghai. It will be better for her to work in Shanghai in the future."

Song Chen can give the two brothers some advice on what to do, but he cannot really give them money. Sometimes, if you want to maintain friendship, it is best not to get involved in those material things.

Song Jiajia immediately said: "I can buy it myself when I make money in the future."

She had no intention of asking her parents for help. Over the years, she had never heard of any family buying a house for their daughter. She was also worried that her sister-in-law would be unhappy. If she was upset, her parents and brother would not be happy either.

Song Zidong: "I'm saving money to buy a house for both of them in the future. But I may not be able to afford one in Shanghai, so I'll buy one next to ours so they can come back and live there anytime they want."

Yang Shuang: "Just give them the money. It's up to them to buy whatever they want."

Yang Shuang is not a short-sighted person. Their family's blessings are yet to come, and the two sisters-in-law are definitely not ungrateful.

Ji Zhaocheng asked: "Brother, what are the housing prices in Shanghai like now? I've saved a little money, can I buy a smaller house there?"

He also knew that the education in Shanghai was not at the same level as here, and he still wanted to give his children the best.

Song Chen: "Didn't you go back to your hometown for the New Year? Why are you back so early?"

Ji Zhaocheng: "My hometown is boring, so I came here on the fifth or sixth day of the New Year. Qingshui Town is still bustling."

Song Chen: "I'll help you check it out when I get back, and then we can talk on the phone."

Ji Zhaocheng's wife Jiang Rou: "Thank you, brother."

What parents do everything for their children? Since they have already fallen out with those people in their hometown and have no intention of going back to build a house in the future, they might as well buy a house in a big city with that money and cut off contact with them.

Some things don't need to be explained too clearly.

It was only after this meal that Zhao Xunyou realized that Song Chen had so many factories!

No wonder he was able to buy a house in such a good location in Shanghai.

Fortunately, he held his thigh tightly.

The meal lasted until after nine o'clock, and everyone kindly helped to clean up and wash the pots, bowls and chopsticks before going home.

Song Chen took Zhao Xunyou to the guest room, while he continued to sleep in Lin Jingbei's room. After the last incident, he had thrown away the bed in his room and had not yet replaced it.

There is no need to buy any more now, as I basically live there.

——

The next day.

Song Chen rode an electric bike to take Zhao Xunyou to have breakfast, and then went to the electric bike factory.

I heard from Xiao Xu that this place was opened on the sixth day of the New Year.

As soon as I got outside the factory, I heard the sound of machines banging.

Seeing Song Chen, everyone greeted him one by one.

Song Chen arrived at Zhou Yong and Xiao Xu's office and saw only Zhou Yong: "Where's Xiao Xu?"

Zhou Yong stood up and said, "Boss, why are you here? I'm in the lab. Didn't you ask Chen Xingchen to come over and learn? Yichang is teaching him step by step."

Taking the two of them to the laboratory to look for someone, Xiao Xu was watching Chen Xingchen carpooling.

"Brother Song, when did you come back?"

"Hello, boss."

Song Chen: "How's your study going?"

It’s only been a few days since the child was transferred here. Xiao Xu said: “The child is smart and learns quickly.”

Song Chen: "That's good. I'll send you another student who has graduated from university."

Zhao Xunyou: "No, no, no, brother-in-law, please don't say that. I studied liberal arts, and I'm probably not as good at these things as those junior high school students."

Song Chen: "Okay, I'll listen to Director Xu carefully from now on."
