What Chen Xia took out were all good things. Not to mention the Chen family, even the dean's family couldn't have so many supplementary foods. Leaving them behind would definitely allow her family to have a prosperous year.
Life is not easy for anyone these days, especially for her, who has two children and an old lady at home. She can't even have a few good meals on a regular basis, which always makes her, the hostess, feel guilty.
"Chen Xia, is the treatment at Yuezhou Fourth Hospital so good? With so many things, this must cost hundreds of dollars."
"Sister-in-law, hospital treatment is the same across the country now. I've been working with others to do some business, so I'm not short of money. Please keep the things. They will come in handy during the Chinese New Year. Don't give them all away. Keep them for yourself. I'll bring more next time after you finish them."
This once again made Chen Zhenwu and Yin Yue'e look at each other in bewilderment. It seemed that this newly recognized younger brother was powerful and rich. It was really amazing.
Since it was a family reunion party, there was a lively atmosphere at noon. Yin Yue'e cut some of the cooked food she brought as dishes, while Chen Zhenwu opened a bottle of Moutai liquor and held the bottle in his hand to look at it for a long time.
Chen Xia knew that his father in his previous life loved wine, so this gift was given to suit his taste.
As for Chen Zhu and Chen Lan, they had decided not to have lunch as they were already full from all the snacks. This was the most snacks they had ever seen in their lives, and they were full of goodwill towards this "weird uncle" who had just made them cry because of the spicy food.
Even the old lady was delighted, and she kept recalling the Yuezhou branch of the Chen family and the dynasty in which they were divided.
How could this Chen Xia know? He was just talking nonsense. Who knew where the Yuezhou Chen family was?
During the meal, several people talked about some things in their respective units. Chen Xia also took the opportunity to tell Chen Zhenwu that he had the opportunity to get foreign medicines, and if he needed them, he could contact him at any time and don't hesitate to do so.
This made Chen Zhenwu's evaluation of Chen Xia's ability even higher. He is not the vice president yet. If a small resident doctor can have someone to help him at a critical moment, he will have the opportunity to be promoted, right?
Chen Xia knew that Chen Zhenwu and Yin Yue'e could not stay at home for too long as they had to go to work in the afternoon, so after dinner, she took out a red box from her bag.
"Auntie, this jade bracelet is for you. These three jade pendants are for Chen Zhu, Chen Lan, and my sister-in-law. This mutton-fat jade pendant is for my brother. Keep them well. These are all great heirlooms. They are absolutely top-notch."
This time, the three adults of the Chen family strongly refused.
Even if they were ignorant, when Chen Xia took out these gems so solemnly, they could tell from their glowing green appearance that these were treasures and were absolutely worth a fortune.
Chen Zhenwu took Chen Xia's hand and said, "Chen Xia, I'm so happy that you can come. You also brought us so many things that we desperately need. Big brother, I thank you, but we really can't accept these treasures. It would be too greedy to accept them."
Chen Xia was determined to send it away, and he planned to send more in the future. He drowned in his previous life, and he didn't know how sad his family was. He had a chance to make amends in this life, so he decided to make the Chen family live a better life.
"Brother, listen to me. These bracelets are nothing to me. They are my gifts to you. If you don't accept them, you're looking down on me. I'm in Yuezhou. My parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents are all dead. I also have two uncles who are out of town and I can't see them either. So please understand my eagerness to recognize my relatives. We are all family, and these are all things passed down from our ancestors. Ultimately, you have a share of them too."
After another fierce push and shove, Chen Zhenwu was finally persuaded. Yin Yue'e was holding a pile of treasures, and her hands were really shaking.
Where in her life had she ever seen such a recognition of relatives? In the past, every relative who came to their house would eat and take things. This was the first time she had seen a relative bring a gift, and such a valuable gift at that.
It was time to go to work, and Chen Zhenwu and Yin Yue'e were about to leave. Before leaving, they held Chen Xia's hands tightly and asked him to stay and have a good drink in the evening.
But Chen Xia is now the deputy section chief, how could he ask for leave at will?
"Brother and sister-in-law, I'll be back in Yuezhou after a while. You know how difficult it is to take leave in our jobs. But don't worry, if you don't mind me, I'll definitely come often in the future. I'll also invite you to visit my home in Yuezhou if you have the chance."
The three of them said goodbye reluctantly.
On the way to work, Yin Yue'e always felt that Chen Xia was a little strange.
"Zhenwu, do you think there really is such a thing as family affection? Look, this is the first time we've met Chen Xia, and I always feel like he's very kind, and his affection for us is definitely not fake."
"Yeah, I feel the same way. It's amazing. I also feel like he's a family member. He seemed a little strange just now, but later on I felt more and more like we've known each other for a long time, as if we were a family in our previous life."
Yin Yue'e smiled secretly at this time, "Yes, in the end I felt that he was like my child, and the disappointing one at that. Look at the way he sat, lying on the chair and talking to us, it made me want to kick him a few times, hehe."
"Yeah, I feel the same way. If our son behaved like this, I'd want to kick him a few times, too, hahaha."
If Chen Xia were here, he would definitely say that he was used to lying down like Ge You at home. What's wrong? Didn't kicking in the previous life enough? He wanted to continue kicking in this life?
At this time, Chen Xia sat in his previous life's home until 2 o'clock, playing with Chen Zhu and Chen Lan, and chatting with his grandmother from time to time. Seeing that it was almost time, Chen Xia had to go home.
Before leaving, Chen Xia took out three red envelopes, one for Chen Zhu, one for Chen Lan, and the thickest one for grandma.
He put 200 yuan in the envelope for his brother and sister, and 500 yuan in the envelope for her grandmother. The envelope was really thick.
Chen Xia knew his parents' personalities. If he gave them ten or twenty thousand yuan at once, they would definitely collect it and return it to him without spending a single cent of his money.
Although the New Year's money given now is a lot, Chen Xia has no reason to ask for anything from them. Instead, he will accept it to improve the family's conditions.
In his previous life, Chen Xia didn't work for long and before he had the chance to repay his grandmother, she passed away due to illness. In this life, he hopes to be more filial to the old lady.
Chen Xia was really happy to return to her hometown in her previous life. Her parents, grandmother, brothers and sisters in her previous life were all there, so her heart felt at peace.
For him, "as long as he has a home, he will never be lonely."
What's more, he now has two homes, and his relatives are on both sides.
Before leaving, Chen Xia said to the old lady, "Auntie, I'm going back. Can I hug you?"
The old lady hugged Chen Xia and said, "Good boy, come often in the future. I will miss you. Take care of yourself."
These words made Chen Xia burst into tears.
In his previous life, before he left for college, his grandmother would always hug him and say, "Take care of yourself. Grandma will miss you."
If there were no north-south roads outside the door, the world would be free from the sorrow of separation...
