Chapter 439 I Can’t Stay in This House Anymore (5K)
When grandma saw her grandson and Mu Qingyang coming back, she smiled like a flower.
In the past, my grandson was always around me. Even when he went to study in the county town, I could only see him once a week.
But after going to college, it takes a long time for them to see each other, which makes the old man feel very uncomfortable and unaccustomed to it.
That's why I endured the pain of motion sickness and took the bus to Fengzhou last time.
Mu Qingyang hugged her grandmother directly. She was much taller than her grandmother, but she bent down and snuggled into the old lady's arms, which looked a bit funny and amusing.
"I'm glad you're back. Are you hungry? Have a bowl of noodles first." Grandma patted Mu Qingyang's back and said with a smile, still kind and gentle.
Mu Qingyang said, "I'm so hungry! So hungry! It's all Zeng Wenjie's fault for getting up late today. When I went to have breakfast, a lot of food was gone. I want to eat the noodles cooked by grandma."
Grandma couldn't help but glared at Zeng Wenjie and said, "How old are you, and you still sleep in?!"
Zeng Wenjie had become accustomed to the experience of feeling like he wasn't a human being when he brought Mu Qingyang home. He shrugged and pretended not to hear.
After entering grandma's noodle shop, she grabbed the rice noodles and threw them into the pot, then used two large bowls to mix the base ingredients and bone soup, and put them into the bowls after the noodles were cooked, and then sprinkled them with chopped green onions, watercress and chili peppers.
Two bowls of fragrant rice noodles are ready, but the rice noodles don’t look good, with a bumpy surface.
However, this kind of rice noodles is safe and healthy to eat, with absolutely no additives and is very natural.
Mu Qingyang quickly finished his noodles and two poached eggs, feeling a little unsatisfied.
Zeng Wenjie gave her the fried egg he had not finished eating. Her eyes lit up, and after thanking her, she gobbled it up and drank up all the soup.
"Grandma's cooking is the most delicious. I really like what she cooks!" Mu Qingyang patted his belly contentedly and said with a smile.
After hearing this, grandma turned around, looked at her kindly, and said, "If you like to eat, eat more. It's a blessing to be able to eat. Now that our family is rich, we are not afraid of you starving."
Zeng Wenjie felt a little proud when he thought of the hard times his elders often mentioned. He could already contribute to his family before he even graduated.
Grandma started to close the door. There were no more customers in the afternoon, so she had to prepare dinner.
She really loved Mu Qingyang and knew that the girl was greedy, so she would always cook a sumptuous meal, and every meal was like a festival.
My grandfather, who has always been frugal, had no objection, and sometimes even complained that the three dishes and one soup were not enough.
The whole family has double standards, and Zeng Wenjie feels that he has inherited this gene perfectly.
Mu Qingyang helped his grandmother close the door, moved the door panel easily, chatted and laughed with the old woman, and felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
Zeng Wenjie went straight back to his room and took a nap. When he woke up, he saw his grandfather and classmate Xiao Mu playing chess in the sun.
"Grandpa, you should play like this, then lure your opponent into taking the bait, and then surround him from here. You will basically win..." Mu Qingyang pointed at the chessboard with his fingers to help the old man improve his chess skills.
Grandpa nodded repeatedly and said, "Teacher Xiao Mu is right!"
When Zeng Wenjie heard him call Mu Qingyang like that, the image of this fairy wearing a white shirt, a hip skirt, high heels and black stockings, and a pair of rimless glasses flashed through his mind. She must look amazing!
"Are you awake?" When the grandfather saw his grandson, he nodded and greeted him.
"Grandpa, have you improved your chess skills recently?" Zeng Wenjie asked.
"I'm old now, and it's too difficult to play chess, but I've made some progress." Grandpa said with a happy smile.
He doesn't smoke, but he likes to drink. However, after quitting drinking, his life became less fun.
He then poured all his passion into Go and soon discovered the joy of playing the game. Now, with Mu Qingyang's guidance, his Go skills have greatly improved. When he goes to the county town to play Go with others, he rarely loses.
Zeng Xiangdong came back in a jeep at this moment. The jeep was dusty and looked dirty. His mother Han Yu was also in the car.
"Uncle!" Mu Qingyang put down the chess piece and called out to Zeng Xiangdong enthusiastically.
Han Yu pushed the door open and got out of the car, then asked, "What about me?"
Mu Qingyang blushed and called out crisply, "Mom!"
Han Yu happily hugged her, touched her head and pinched her cheeks, and he loved her so much.
Again, who in the world doesn't like Mu Qingyang?
Anyone who doesn't like her is abnormal, at least that's what Zeng Wenjie thinks.
"It's been a good day today. We've harvested a lot, more than 8,000 grams of raw goods." Zeng Xiangdong said to Zeng Wenjie with a smile, holding a heavy little gold bag in his hand.
Zeng Wenjie took the small golden bag and opened it to see that inside were lumps of raw materials wrapped in newspapers. He unpacked one of the lumps and found it was in the shape of sand grains. Judging from the color, it had a purity of at least 88%.
"Is it He Jin?" Zeng Wenjie asked.
"You have such sharp eyes, you can tell it at a glance! It's river gold, which I collected from the sand ship today." Zeng Xiangdong grinned.
Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "The price of gold has risen rapidly this year. We have to hurry and collect more!"
Zeng Xiangdong said: "Yes, two relatives of Sanbai took the goods to southern Fujian Province to sell, but they were caught by the hat and lost everything."
Zeng Wenjie said, "We can raise the purchase price a bit so that our fellow villagers don't have to travel far. Also, the price of gold is rising rapidly, so we need to stockpile a lot. As gold shops expand, demand is increasing."
Zeng Wenjie has asked Zhuang Bifan to rent two more gold shops, connecting the three shops, and recruited many new craftsmen and designers, who work there all day long.
The gold shop is managed by Fu Yong, who is a trustworthy person and an old hand. He will not make any mistakes and can keep the situation under control.
"I'll give them a few cents later. If they insist on going to other provinces, then I have no choice." Zeng Xiangdong said helplessly.
It is normal to go to other places after finding gold locally, because the price of gold in other places is slightly higher than that in this province.
At present, the place with the highest gold price in the entire Chongshan is Fengzhou. If you want to earn more, you can only go outside the province. The best price is in southern Fujian.
But the crackdown on smuggling there is also very severe, and people often go there to deliver goods and lose both their money and their property.
The whole family gathered together and chatted happily.
Mu Qingyang has completely integrated into this big family.
Not long after, my aunt and uncle arrived.
Mu Qingyang hurriedly ran up to greet him and received another round of praise, which made her very proud. She cast a look at Zeng Wenjie.
Zeng Wenjie found it a bit amusing. Little Mu was so childish and adorable sometimes, like a kindergarten kid, always begging for compliments, right? Was there really such a thing as begging?
Wu Hongwu's eyes turned much kinder as he looked at Zeng Wenjie. He smiled and said, "Wenjie, your business is booming this year! You even got an interview on CCTV! I've read all your recent news. I didn't expect you to be so ambitious!"
Zeng Wenjie quickly bowed and said, "Uncle, you are too polite. I have been influenced by you since I was a child, so I am upright and have such a vision and perspective."
Wu Hongwu waved his hand and said, "I can't teach you such an excellent ability!"
After all, Wu Hongwu was the captain of the county brigade and was known for his strictness. Even the younger generations were very afraid of him.
But the look he gave Zeng Wenjie at this moment was extremely gentle, even a little admiring.
He has a chance to be promoted this year. Zeng Wenjie's sudden rise has immediately brought him benefits. I'm afraid that promotion is almost certain.
The big boss of Shizhu County knew that Zeng Wenjie was Wu Hongwu's nephew, and Zeng Wenjie was the most popular figure in the entire Chongshan Province.
If you don’t build good relationships, what are you thinking about?!
Zeng Yunmei also said: "You have made great progress, come back to my company for a party, you can go and have a meal with me, so that I can also make a name for myself."
Zeng Wenjie didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Please forgive me. It would be bad if you introduce girlfriends to me one by one."
Zeng Yunmei pointed at Mu Qingyang and said calmly, "Just take Little Mu with you and it'll be over. Who would be so blind as to try to steal this girl?"
Zeng Wenjie was startled, while Mu Qingyang jumped up happily and said, "Yes, yes, I'll go with you! No one can swing this hoe!"
In fact, Zeng Wenjie also noticed some changes.
In the past, Wu Hongwu and Zeng Yunmei would each go to their respective places to pay homage to their ancestors during the Qingming Festival, but this year, he followed Zeng Yunmei to Baishui Town for the first time.
Obviously, this shows that she really values Zeng Wenjie and wants to manage their relationship better.
Although they are family members, some details are still changing all the time.
"Wenjie, do you have any idea of expanding your business to Shizhu County?" Wu Hongwu asked while eating.
"Well...Shizhu County has a sparse population, so it's not suitable!" Zeng Wenjie said helplessly.
Wu Hongwu said, "It's just a token of my appreciation. After all, it's my hometown."
After hearing this, Zeng Wenjie thought carefully for a while and said, "How about this, after I get the financing, I'll open a snack shop here. Find a central area near the school, so there will be no shortage of business."
Wu Hongwu nodded and said, "If there is any suitable business, we must also take care of our hometown."
Obviously, he came here with a mission, otherwise, he wouldn't speak like that.
Zeng Wenjie probably asked Wu Hongwu to do this because of the big boss of Shizhu County, but it didn't matter. As long as he didn't make a losing business, everything would be fine.
Zeng Wenjie encountered the same situation in Niu Shou City.
Shizhu County is under the jurisdiction of Niu Shou City, which is also Zeng Wenjie's hometown. He will definitely go to Niu Shou City to invest in some businesses at that time.
There is no way. Dealing with the government is too complicated. He is unwilling to touch those complicated projects, but he has to invest something. Otherwise, why would others cooperate with him and support him?
But Zeng Wenjie thought it was fine this way. He would just do business honestly and not touch anything illegal.
In this way, no matter how deep the bondage is, you don't have to worry about getting stuck in it.
"Don't worry, uncle. I will definitely consider this." Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.
After Wu Hongwu said this, he felt relieved. He was afraid that Zeng Wenjie would not agree, and he could not force him. Otherwise, he would have a hard time explaining to his boss when he returned.
"Uncle, we are all family. Just tell me if you have anything to say. I will do my best to help if I can." Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.
As his influence grows, more and more people will surely come to his relatives to ask him to do things for them.
There is no reason for him to refuse a reasonable request that is mutually beneficial.
Wu Hongwu couldn't help but smile when he heard Zeng Wenjie's words, then raised his glass and said, "Okay, let's have a drink together."
After Zeng Wenjie drank a glass, he reached for his chopsticks to pick up some food, but found that half of the "Eight Bowls" had already been finished.
Turning around to look at Mu Qingyang, she saw a lot of food scraps piled on her desk.
"Fortunately there are no fish today, otherwise it would be troublesome to go to the hospital!" Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.
"I'm not afraid. I'll eat it even if I have it!" Mu Qingyang responded proudly.
Han Yu asked with concern, "Did Xiao Mu get stuck while eating fish?"
Zeng Wenjie said, "Yesterday, we were playing in WQ County and had fish hotpot. She ate too fast and got a fish bone stuck in her throat! Then, she pretended to be fine in front of me. Luckily, I noticed and took her to the hospital."
After saying this, he prepared to wait for his family to teach Mu Qingyang a lesson.
"You are such a fool! Why don't you let her eat slowly? How can you be a good boyfriend?" Zeng Yunmei was the first to speak up.
"Wenjie, you are becoming more and more ignorant. You took Xiaomu to eat fish and she got stuck!" Grandma was the second one to get angry.
Han Yu also nodded and said, "It's very dangerous to get stuck with a fish bone. Next time, you should help her pick out the bone before letting her eat..."
Zeng Wenjie felt that things were getting more and more outrageous. He felt like he couldn't stay in this family any longer.
Zeng Xiangdong laughed at the joke, thinking that his son finally understood how he felt at the time.
After Zeng Wenjie was born, he fell out of favor and suffered all kinds of tragedy.
Now that Zeng Wenjie has brought Mu Qingyang back home, it is his turn to fall out of favor and suffer a tragic fate.
Mu Qingyang just felt very comfortable. She could feel the sincere love and care from every elder. This was the kind of emotion she lacked the most in these years. Now, her empty heart was filled with words of care!
Then, she happily munched on a few more pieces of cured pork ribs and egg dumplings.
Her grandmother really loves her. Making these eight dishes is the most troublesome and is only done for large banquets, but she is treated like this every time she comes back.
Zeng Wenjie sighed and said, "Okay, I'll chew it up and feed it to her from now on."
Then, he looked at Mu Qingyang and asked, "Little Mu, do you want milk? Do you want me to make some milk to coax you to sleep at night?"
"Pooh!"
Mu Qingyang just spat softly.
Grandpa knocked Zeng Wenjie on the head with a chopstick and said, "Don't joke around while eating. Eat your meal properly!"
Zeng Wenjie felt completely innocent, and continued to sigh and groan, saying sarcastically, "There's no place for me in this family."
"If you think so, just get out now. Xiao Mu, just stay here with us." Grandma smiled and picked up a chicken leg for Mu Qingyang.
Zeng Wenjie's mouth twitched. He hadn't expected to be hit by his own grandmother. She only attacked and didn't defend, right? And her attack attribute had a critical hit and defense break. It was simply outrageous!
After finishing the meal, Zeng Wenjie took Mu Qingyang to feed the dog with the leftovers.
The local dog named "WarGreymon" wagged its tail and jumped around the two of them happily.
"You see, every time I bring you home, I get beaten up by everyone. I feel so wronged, don't I?" Zeng Wenjie couldn't help asking.
"Indeed." Mu Qingyang smiled softly, his eyes gentle, "I also feel the feeling of being cared for by my family. It's great!"
Zeng Wenjie glanced at her, then smiled and said, "So, you should have come to my house earlier. In this way, wouldn't you have experienced it earlier?"
Mu Qingyang couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, it's a pity that we met too late!"
Zeng Wenjie laughed grimly, "Hehehe, I was just bullied so badly, now it's my turn to bully back!"
Mu Qingyang immediately stepped back, took a stance, and said, "Don't underestimate me!"
Zeng Wenjie was about to rush forward and choke her with a naked strangle, but Mu Qingyang was agile and dodged it. He went around behind him, locked his neck, and jumped up, wrapping his long legs around his waist.
"Wow, there's something!" Zeng Wenjie exclaimed.
Mu Qingyang kissed him hard on the cheek, then said happily: "I like you so much, and I love this family so much!"
Zeng Wenjie was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I like you too, and I want to love you forever. But, has anyone ever told you that your face is actually very dirty, full of bacteria and dust?"
Mu Qingyang hummed softly, "Then where should I kiss?"
"The butt is much cleaner than the face." Zeng Wenjie said in a mean way.
"Go to hell!" Mu Qingyang strangled him hard, feeling a little embarrassed.
Zeng Wenjie started jogging with her on his back, saying, "Let's go home and play the video game."
Mu Qingyang couldn't help but exclaimed, "Put me down quickly, or grandma and the others will see me!"
Zeng Wenjie didn't care and carried her straight into the house to let her know what it meant to be in a difficult situation.
Seeing that Mu Qingyang was carried in by Zeng Wenjie, everyone was stunned, and then they all showed an auntie smile on their faces.
There is a custom in my hometown that the groom has to carry the bride into the house on his back.
Zeng Wenjie and Mu Qingyang are only boyfriend and girlfriend now, but they entered the house secretly, which they think is a very good omen.
After carrying Mu Qingyang into the room, Zeng Wenjie put her down and said with a smile: "Now you know how powerful it is!"
Mu Qingyang smiled bitterly and said, "I know, you are shameless!"
Zeng Wenjie took out the game console and connected it to the big-headed TV, saying, "We have to study hard!"
Mu Qingyang was stunned and said, "Aren't you playing games?"
"This is called the Subor Learning Machine. Isn't it for learning?" Zeng Wenjie asked righteously.
"Ah, yes, studying! I love studying!" Mu Qingyang immediately responded happily.
After inserting the game card, the two of them started playing happily. They played until about ten o'clock, then went to wash up, changed into pajamas, and came back to continue playing.
After playing until very late, Mu Qingyang simply yawned, pretended to close the door of his room, and then tiptoed to Zeng Wenjie's room to sleep.
She woke up around five in the morning and went back to her room like a thief...
