Wang Yitong and Zheng Kun went to pick tangerines from the trees in the fields and put them in the car. These tangerines can be kept longer. They were taken to Shanghai. My aunt-in-law liked these tangerines more because they were organic and pollution-free.
Wang Yitong walked around the fields and brought home a basket made by her grandfather filled with pea tips to stir-fry with vegetables. She also picked some radishes so she could continue with the beef stew that evening.
Wang Yitong took the opportunity to take pictures of the scenery of her hometown and sent them to Xu Chengwei. He said that if they had the chance in the future, they would come to her hometown to help Wang Yitong with work.
After everyone finished eating, everyone went to the living room to watch TV. Wang Dawei was playing bridge with some relatives. Seeing Wang Yitong coming back from the fields, Wang's father's expression changed. He said to Wang Yitong nervously, "Tongtong, I'm just playing a simple game with my relatives. There's no big gambling!"
Zheng Kun's father, his cousin's father, jokingly said, "Brother, you are afraid of your daughter now."
Wang's father said righteously, "There's nothing wrong with listening to your child. I call that respect."
"Dad, as long as it's not gambling, you can play as much as you want. You can spend the New Year holiday with your family and relax with your second aunt. I'm not your mother, I don't care about you."
After hearing what Wang Yitong said, Wang's father relaxed and continued playing.
Wang Yitong and Zheng Kun put the oranges in Wang Yitong's car together.
Chen Yin and Zheng Kun's mother, also known as Second Aunt, helped clean the house and wash the dishes and pots. Third Uncle's family ate lunch and rode their electric scooters home. Youngest Uncle's family also went back to the house on the other side of the house.
Only my second uncle's family and Zheng Kun's family remained in the yard.
Wang Yitong chatted with Chen Yue and asked her how she was doing in the hospital and whether she had a partner.
Chen Yue said, "Ms. Qing introduced me to this position. She told me I was still young and that I shouldn't rush into dating, and that I had time to pursue further studies. I'm still trying to get my certification. I only have a technical secondary school degree, so I need a bachelor's degree to get promoted."
After hearing this, Wang Yitong still felt that this cousin from her second aunt's family, whom she rarely interacted with, was quite obedient. "Then listen to Aunt Qing and study hard to improve yourself. Also, you can save money for a down payment in Le City and buy a two-bedroom apartment. Houses aren't expensive these days, but you should be careful when buying one to avoid being scammed. If you have any questions, you can contact my uncle and his family; they'll be happy to help you."
"Sister, I understand. My dad also asked me to buy a house first, and he has saved some money. Thank you for your help, uncle." Chen Yue said after listening.
After hearing this, Wang Yitong said, "Hey, my dad didn't care about the family before and couldn't help you much, so he just asked my uncle's family for help. You are working hard now, and your uncle is willing to work hard for you. When you find a partner in the future, make sure that the other person respects your uncle and treats him well from the bottom of his heart.
Everything will be fine for you, as long as you don't waste yourself. Your future will only get better and better. Look at Binbin from Sanba's family, she fights even more than you and has nothing to do now. Her mother wants her to work in the textile factory in town, saying it's close to home. Binbin's mother plays all day long, and the family relies on Sanba's hard work to earn money. Yueyue, if you don't want to struggle when you are young, it will be too late to struggle when you are old. "Wang Yitong said."
"Cousin, I know everything. At my grandparents' house, only my uncle, aunt and you care about us. Thank you. I will keep it in mind." Chen Yue said with some emotion.
The two of them called Zheng Kun over and, with a fresh pack of playing cards on the coffee table in the living room, began playing Landlord. Time flew by. Chen Yin and Zheng Kun's mother heated up the lunch. At 6 p.m., everyone ate in the dining room next to the kitchen. Afterward, Zheng Kun and his family rode their electric scooters home, not far from Wang Yitong's. Then, Chen Yue rode her electric scooter, taking her second uncle back to the street.
Wang Yitong cleaned the house, and Chen Yin washed the dishes. After drinking, Wang's father went back to his room on the second floor to rest.
"Mom, cook some noodles tomorrow morning. I'll be back in Chengdu tomorrow to take care of some things. I'll take a flight to Shanghai tonight, so you don't have to worry about me. I see the bed and wardrobe in my room are still made of solid wood, but they're a bit ugly."
Chen Yin said, "Your grandfather made the bed and wardrobe. He saw designs sold on the street, and Zheng Kun's father helped him get the wood. Your grandfather was a skilled craftsman, but your father and his family didn't learn anything. Alas, your generation will lose this craft. Your grandfather was fine when he didn't drink, but once he did, he was prone to drunkenness. The alcohol he used to drink was low-quality, which is the most likely to cause problems."
"Mom, I know. I'll go check on Grandpa and Grandma before I leave tomorrow morning. Mom, are our stairs waterproofed? I haven't checked them yet."
Chen Yin said as she washed dishes, "The third floor has five layers of waterproofing and is tiled. There's also a glass roof on one side, so if it rains, you can hang clothes and things up there. The bedrooms on the second floor are all fitted with solid wood floors, the first floor and the top floor are tiled, and the ground in the yard is tiled."
Your father had a water tower installed on the roof of the building. Although there was running water, he also dug a well in the corner of the yard, near the fields. He installed protective equipment and a water pump, which was connected to the water tower. He also built a vegetable sink outside the yard and installed a water pipe so your grandparents could wash vegetables there. He also built a drainage pipe so that the water could flow into the fields, which was convenient.
When the highway outside was repaved with cement, your dad also paid for them to build the road uphill to the yard. They also built a cement road from our yard to your grandparents' house. They also bricked up a small plot of land between the two yards, where your grandparents grow garlic sprouts, scallions, shiitake mushrooms, and Chinese cabbage, making it convenient. Your grandparents also installed a water pipe at their house, making water access convenient. They usually shower on our first floor. We have an electric water heater and a bathroom heater. I've already told your grandparents to turn off the power when not in use and back on when needed.
