Extra Chu Dan 2
"Thank you so much." Gu Ci stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulders, stuffing twenty yuan and a few food coupons into his pocket. "You still have a lot to do, so I won't keep you here any longer. Please treat my brothers to a meal at the restaurant tomorrow."
With twenty yuan nowadays, you can get chicken, duck, fish and meat even in a state-owned restaurant. Six people can have three good meals.
He Zhigang said a few polite words, but was still forced by Gu Ci to accept it.
For Gu Ci, this is much cheaper than buying a train ticket. If he wants to continue taking the train in the future, he naturally has to learn how to behave.
Grandpa and grandma Chu, as well as uncle and aunt, Chu Yan and Chu Chu, were all very warm to them.
For the elderly and children, the most difficult ten years were fortunately taken care of by Chu Hong's family. They relied on Chu Hong and her family for their food, clothing and daily necessities.
Therefore, they were not treated as outsiders. After dinner, Grandpa Chu urged them: "You must be tired after sitting in the car for a whole day. Go to sleep first."
Grandma Chu also held Chu Dan's hand, her eyes kind and gentle: "Let's get enough rest first, and then go to the Song family."
Chu Dan was not going to be polite with her and yawned: "Okay, I'm really sleepy, I'm going to take a nap first."
Aunt Chu came over and accompanied them to the room: "Xiaoyu and the others will sleep with Chu Yan and Chu Chu, you just need to rest in peace."
"There's hot water in the bathroom, you can take a shower too."
Chu Yan is already twenty years old and returned with his grandparents in early March.
In the years before, they went to the next village to attend elementary school. Later, due to their inappropriate status, they could not go to junior high school and high school. However, Chu Hong secretly went to find textbooks and asked Grandpa Chu and others when she didn't understand something, so she didn't fall behind in her studies.
Last year, I came back with my grandparents and found a way to take the entrance exams for junior high school and high school. Both my brother and sister were admitted to university.
It’s just that Chu Yan has good grades, and Chu Chu is also at the bottom.
But this was enough to make Aunt Chu burst into tears of gratitude, so she naturally treated us very well: "In fact, we are closer to the university. It only takes three bus stops or about 20 minutes to ride a bike."
When Chu Dan came into the room, his eyes widened in shock.
She finally understood why her second sister forced her to study. It turned out that the big city outside was really eye-opening.
For example, the Chu family lived in a very grand house, which she had only seen on TV.
What I am standing on now is not mud or concrete, but tiles.
She only just realized that in addition to squat toilets, there are also toilets.
There is also hot water in the shower in winter.
The food, clothing, housing and transportation in Shanghai opened her eyes.
At this moment, Chu Dan made up his mind that he must stay in this city and live a good life.
When Chu Dan woke up the next day, it was already past eight in the morning.
Song Dongzheng must have wanted her to sleep a little longer, so she was alone in the bedroom and didn't let the children disturb her.
She looked around the room curiously, then washed up before going downstairs.
Grandma Chu was reading a newspaper downstairs. When she saw her coming down, she smiled and said, "I'll go make you a bowl of dumplings."
"Grandma, please sit down. I'll go and cook it myself." Seeing that the hall was too quiet, Chu Dan asked, "Where are my sister and the others?"
She had an unreliable idea: Could it be that Song Dongzheng took his two sons back home by himself just because she slept in?
Grandma Chu smiled and said, "Since your elder sister and the others came early, they all went out for a walk."
Chu Tong came back last year. Mother Jiang was too tired from working on the farm before, and her health has not been good since she came back, so she let Chu Tong take over her job.
Of course, before Jiang's mother left, she was the workshop director of a state-owned garment factory. Chu Tong had just joined the factory, so she definitely couldn't be the director. She was interested in pattern making, and now she was following her master in making patterns.
When they came back carrying large and small bags, the three sisters gathered at the Chu family. It was a huge crowd and very lively.
After lunch, Jiang Mingche and Chu Tong, as well as Gu Ci and Chu Hong, sent Chu Dan and the others home.
Originally, Song Dongzheng had an older sister and a younger brother. Unfortunately, after something happened in his family, his older sister cut off all contact with them and his younger brother died of illness. Now, only the old couple are left in the Song family.
Song's father and mother were originally leaders of the electrical appliance factory. Now that they have returned, their original positions have been replaced by others. After negotiations, Song's father was arranged to the sales department. As for Song's mother's job, there was no suitable position there.
Of course, their health was not very good either, and Song's mother didn't want to go to work anymore. This position was originally reserved for her daughter-in-law Chu Dan.
After Song Dongzheng and Chu Dan got married, Secretary Song took great pains to find out the whereabouts of his parents. It was only five years ago that he finally found out and got in touch with them.
Because they were too far apart, Chu Dan had not met them yet, but letters and packages were sent to them several times a year.
Therefore, now that the Song family can return, the old couple does not despise Chu Dan, their country daughter-in-law. In order to prevent their son and daughter-in-law from being separated, Song's mother even plans to leave her position to Chu Dan.
I didn’t expect Chu Dan to be so promising and actually got admitted to a normal university.
So when he saw them coming back, he was so excited that he went forward and pulled Chu Dan, his eyes red with excitement: "Good boy, I have been so grateful to you all these years."
He warmly invited Chu Tong, Chu Hong and others to sit down.
Father Song also enthusiastically served tea and water. Seeing his two grandsons who looked exactly like his son when he was a child, he squatted down with relief and said, "Mingyao, Mingyu, you are finally home."
In fact, Song Dongzheng's marriage into a daughter-in-law was simply a lonely one.
In the countryside, there is actually a rule that people with the same surname cannot marry each other, but he is not from the countryside, and Chu Dan himself is simple, so their child still has the surname Song.
But before coming, Party Secretary Song also said that he married into the family to make Song Dongzheng's life easier, and that he would let the children call them grandpa and grandma in the future.
Song Mingyao is already eight years old, and he sensibly shouted, "Hello, Grandpa and Grandma."
Song Mingyu is only four years old, very active and clingy. He threw himself into his father's arms and called out sweetly, "Hello, Grandpa, Hello, Grandma."
When Song's mother heard the voices of her grandchildren, she also wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Hey, you are all good."
Seeing their two grandsons who looked so much like their son, the old couple obeyed them in everything and fed them candies, soda and apples.
It perfectly illustrates what intergenerational affection is.
Before the accident, Song's father was the deputy factory director and Song's mother was the director of the quality inspection department. Now that they are back, their positions have been taken over by others, but the wages they received over the years have been subsidized to them.
Normally they should have been able to live in the newly built red brick apartment building, but they came back late and all the new houses had been allocated.
They now live in a blue brick house with a yard, which originally belonged to them. After they left, another deputy factory director moved in and lived there for a few years.
Last year, the deputy factory director moved to a new apartment building, and after a lot of twists and turns, this house was allocated to the Song family again.
Chu Hong looked around and found that the house had been painted and looked clean and bright.
Three bedrooms and a living room are enough for them, but the kitchen is a little small and there is no toilet.
