Chapter 9 The family's shock, I really want to beat you to death, you spendthrift!



Family housing for the geological team.

Chen Xuelin returned home from work.

At the same time, he was also carrying a bag of rice and a bag of flour.

This is a benefit distributed by the company during the Chinese New Year.

That's all!

In the past two years, my company has also been undergoing transformation, seeking to break through its own limitations.

The benefits are incomparable to those of the past.

Many employees were asked to buy out their years of service and find their own way to make a living.

It's not bad to have benefits during the Lunar New Year, so Chen Xuelin had no complaints.

He put the rice and flour in the kitchen and sat down on the sofa.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened.

I noticed a case of baijiu (Chinese liquor) on the corner of the coffee table, with the words "Guizhou Maotai" written on it in large characters.

"This is?"

Chen Xuelin clearly remembers that there was no case of liquor at home before he left.

When I returned from work, there was an extra case of liquor at home.

In other words, it was an extra case of liquor that he had while he was at work.

"Good heavens, it's a whole case of Guizhou Moutai liquor."

"But who could it be?"

Keep in mind, this is a case of Guizhou Moutai liquor.

Even in 1990, a bottle of Moutai was not cheap.

That's equivalent to his monthly salary.

Chen Xuelin does indeed have a fondness for alcohol and enjoys having a couple of drinks on a regular basis.

But that's limited to drinking some homemade medicinal wine.

Only during holidays and festivals would I splurge and buy a couple of bottles of Xifeng or similar bottled liquor.

Wouldn't he want to drink a high-end liquor like Kweichow Moutai?

Of course not.

For alcoholics, the concept of "black technology" in soy sauce flavor holds the same place as lipstick for women.

It is sacred, yet it requires a strong sense of ritual.

Looking at this whole case of Guizhou Moutai, Chen Xuelin's mouth watered.

He got up and went forward to investigate.

It was indeed a whole case of Guizhou Moutai liquor.

"A case of six bottles, doesn't that tempt people to commit crimes?"

Chen Xuelin licked his lips and withdrew his outstretched hand.

One bottle costs 90 yuan, so a whole case would cost 540 yuan.

That's equivalent to almost half a year's salary for him.

"Who put this here?"

Chen Xuelin did want to drink.

But after taking a sip, he felt quite satisfied.

But the value of a single shot of Moutai is enough to cover a family's expenses for several days.

How much does he earn in a month?

Does drinking this Moutai liquor grant ascension to heaven?

His entire family depends on his meager salary to make a living.

Chen Xuelin could only sigh in despair and return to the sofa.

But all I see and think about is Guizhou Moutai liquor.

It was at this moment.

The sound of a door opening could be heard.

Entering the room were Xiao Xinyi, Chen Dong, and his two younger sisters, Chen Xi and Chen Bei.

Seeing Chen Xuelin sitting on the sofa, Xiao Xinyi was slightly taken aback and spoke.

"Huh? When did you get back?"

"Dad, look, my second brother bought me new clothes, don't they look nice?"

"dad!"

"......"

Chen Xuelin looked at the group of people, slightly taken aback.

Is this my wife?

She looks like she's ten years younger.

In addition, her two daughters have also become true little princesses.

etc?

The youngest daughter, Chen Bei, said, "My second brother bought her new clothes."

He only has one son, Chen Dong.

She no longer has a second brother.

Could they be talking about Chen Dong?

Chen Xuelin looked at the group and, sure enough, saw Chen Dong.

At this moment, Chen Dong was imposing and had an extraordinary temperament, a true spirited young man, completely different from his previous self.

It's no wonder Chen Xuelin didn't recognize him at first.

Chen Dong had changed so much that he was afraid of mistaking someone for someone else and becoming a laughingstock.

He now understands, but his doubts are only growing.

Chen Xuelin couldn't help but speak up.

What are you doing here?

Xiao Xinyi grinned.

"How about it? Isn't it beautiful? Your son bought all of this. Oh, and the Moutai on the coffee table was also bought by your son as a gift to you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuelin was even more surprised.

Did my son buy all of these?

Putting aside the fact that his wife and two daughters' clothes were clearly not cheap, he noticed that they were not cheap clothes.

Let's just talk about this case of Guizhou Moutai liquor.

It will cost at least 500 yuan.

That's equivalent to almost half a year's salary for me.

Chen Dong had been away for less than a month.

Where did he get so much money to buy so many things for his family?

Even if the wages are high in factories in the south, it's impossible for an apprentice to earn half a year's wages in a month, right?

This doesn't even include their new clothes and high-end leather shoes.

It's probably impossible to get it for less than a thousand yuan.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Chen Xuelin's expression also turned somewhat grim.

Ignoring Xiao Xinyi, he stared intently at Chen Dong and pressed him for an answer.

"Tell me, where did you get this money?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xinyi interjected.

“It’s neither theft nor robbery; your son earned it all through hard work.”

Hearing this, Chen Xuelin was even more surprised.

Earned?

How did you earn it?

Even if I worked hard for half a year, I might not be able to earn this much money.

How could a mere kid like him earn so much?

Upon seeing this.

Chen Dong also knew that it was time to tell Chen Xuelin.

Just like what I said to Xiao Xinyi when I first came in.

He recounted to Chen Xuelin how he hadn't gone to the south to work, and how he later sold tea eggs.
