Chapter 443
During the old couple's afternoon tea, Old Man Chen and Old Lady Chen played around in the neighborhood.
They didn't miss any beautiful scenery and took a lot of photos. When Chen Qingyi went to develop the photos, the technician kept looking at her as if she was a prodigal.
Then a few days later he brought home a thick stack of documents, and Old Mrs. Chen couldn't stop smiling.
He insisted on mailing some back to the pigpen first, and even called back.
Let Wu Xifeng wait until the photos arrive so that she can show them off. Chen Qingyi is also drunk.
He couldn't even wait to go back and show off. I'm afraid Wu Xifeng, who received this glorious task, was speechless.
But I have to listen to my mother-in-law's words.
As soon as Old Mrs. Chen called, she found out that Chen Qingyi had found a job for Zhao Jianshe here.
The old lady and old man Chen whispered, "I was wondering why Zhao Jiarou has been so restless lately!
So that’s how it is. Wow, my granddaughter is so amazing!
It's only been a short time since we got here, but I heard from Xifeng that many people in the pigpen are envious and jealous."
Old man Chen took out his pipe, lit it, and took two puffs without saying a word.
Old Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes and said, "Qingsong bought you cigarettes, why are you still smoking?
You can choke me to death.
Hey, I'm talking to you, why are you ignoring me? What's wrong? Are you tired of eating roasted lamb legs at noon?
Can’t open your voice?
Let me tell you, look at how embarrassing it was for you and Shengnan at noon. Two big lamb legs, you two were so eager to make one each!"
Old Mrs. Chen is exaggerating a bit.
But these two people did eat a lot. Ever since Chen Shengnan stopped vomiting during pregnancy, she enjoyed everything she ate.
I almost spent more than half of my monthly salary on food.
Zheng Dayong even wrote letters to many of his comrades-in-arms who were away from home, asking them to help buy local specialties and snacks.
Chen Qingyi also ate a lot of yogurt lumps and cheese.
Old man Chen likes to eat strong flavors and also likes to eat meat. He would drink a sip of wine and take a few bites of barbecue.
No one eats as well as he does.
Yu Haohan and Chen Qingsong could barely draw, and Chen Qingfeng was slightly inferior.
But no matter how much they eat, they will still have some grilled vegetables, cold noodles, etc., as long as Old Man Chen doesn't eat a single vegetable at noon.
Old man Chen lifted his leg, tapped the pipe on the sole of his shoe, and raised his eyelids:
"I'm just thinking of the two families of the eldest and third brothers.
Let’s not talk about the eldest brother for now. He is short-sighted and offended Xiaoyi and the others. Xiaoyi and the other two will hold a grudge against him.
No matter what you say, I won't care about them.
But Changhe's family is nice, and Xiaoyi treats Qingli and Qingzhi very well. What do you think...
Should I talk to Xiaobai and Xiaoyi...” Old man Chen knew that it was difficult to find a job.
But he also felt sorry for the third brother's family. They only had two daughters, and what would they do when they got old?
Mrs. Chen, who was chewing an apple, paused when she heard this: "...That's not good, is it? You're putting the two children in a difficult position!
It seems like we are jealous of Zhao Chuanwen's family.
When Changbo was still the deputy regiment commander, we didn't ask Changbo for help.
Besides, the Changhe family is different from Zhao Chuanwen. Zhao Chuanwen treats Xiangmei and the others well..."
Especially Chen Qingyi, when she was a child, she envied other children who could ride on their father's neck, but it was Zhao Chuanwen who carried her around the team.
From childhood to adulthood, I have always had a lot of good things from this uncle.
Old man Chen: “……!!” He knew that was the reason.
"No need for Xiaoyi and the others to ask for favors, there are people who can help keep an eye out for the right one, and let the third brother buy it himself!!"
There is no point in him working hard and spending money at the same time. He is not senile yet.
Mrs. Chen nodded after hearing this and said, "Xiaoyi and the others will definitely agree, but Zhao Chuanwen's three children have all graduated from high school, what about Changhe?
He only knows a few words and is an honest person. Xi Feng'er is not as good as Changhe!
What can they do in a factory? At such an old age, which factory would want them?
It’s better to farm at home. Our team is getting better and better. Xifeng said on the phone that the dividends are more than last year!
It’s also good for making matchboxes.
After Qingli graduates from high school, it would be feasible to ask Xiaoyi and the others to help her!"
In fact, the most regrettable thing is the eldest family. Both Chen Qinggui and Chen Qingliu are educated. If they were good cousins, how could they not help each other?
It's all my own fault. I've made a bad mistake. I can't blame others.
Whenever I think of Chen Changjiang's family, Old Lady Chen feels bad. She is a bully at home, but she is doomed when she goes out.
Old Mrs. Chen devoured the last bite of the apple and picked up the big red strawberry:
"I heard there's a secret recipe for having children in the family compound! How about I get it and let the third brother's family try it?"
"Nonsense, where did the secret recipe for having a baby come from? If it really existed, who wouldn't keep it secret and use it to make money?
Who will spread it?
I've heard about it too, and asked around, but no one knows who started it.
The third brother and his wife also went to the commune and to Old Zhai's place, but there was nothing they could do!
Stop worrying about it. I think it’s clear that it doesn’t matter whether I have a boy or a girl.
It’s good enough as long as the Chen family is not extinct. Besides, if the son has a grandson, what if the grandson doesn’t have a great-grandson?
Anyway, I don’t care anymore. Once I die, no one will care about me anymore.
Now just live well. Push your bowl of strawberries over to me. Xiaoyi will buy some older ones and you can eat them there by yourself."
The big, bright red strawberries are juicy and sweet, one bite at a time.
Old man Chen was so happy that he was shaking his feet. On this day, he had a barbecue at noon and fruits in the afternoon.
This wonderful life is thanks to my granddaughter!
Of those two grandsons, one is in the army and can't come back often, and the other is a rough-minded person. It's good enough that he doesn't snatch the food from him.
So all grandchildren are the same.
Old Mrs. Chen quickened the pace of her strawberry eating. This old man always snatched the food from her.
With his mouth full, he mumbled:
"I heard this secret recipe is accurate. There was a soldier's wife named Fang Xiu'er in the army who got pregnant after using it for a short time."
Old man Chen nodded: "I know her, she is very fertile, she has so many daughters!
Who knows whether this baby in your belly is a girl or not? What if it’s a girl? Don’t listen to their nonsense.”
Old Mrs. Chen still refused to accept it, "But isn't Yang Shuting pregnant too?"
That's a saline-alkali land. I tried so hard before but couldn't get pregnant. Now I've been using folk remedies for more than two months.
She still believed it very much, "Just give it a try, it won't cost much!"
Old man Chen snorted, "Am I worried about the money? I'm just afraid of making a big fuss."
If I can’t get pregnant, I’ll give Changhe and the others a break, which will be even more disappointing. Why don’t we wait a little longer and see what happens to Yang Shuting…”
Old Mrs. Chen was puzzled: "Isn't she pregnant?"
Old man Chen burped and reluctantly put down the big strawberry: "Anyway, I think this matter is mysterious and unreliable.
Xiaoyi bet with her so much money, and gave it to her regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl. It always made me feel that something was wrong!
What's the difference between this free money?
Our Xiaoyi is generous and not stingy with money. She is willing to spend any amount of money on us.
But she's also petty, not much bigger than a needle's eye, and she holds grudges. I don't believe she would give Yang Shuting so much money for nothing!
It's good enough that she didn't cheat Yang Shuting. It's just that Yang Shuting was blinded by the child.
He said he did it for his dad’s sake, huh, do you believe it?
I just don’t believe it…” Changbo had no face in front of the kids.
Changbo was beaten before they came.
Changbo did not look for the murderer, nor did he tell anyone about it. He couldn't figure it out at first, but now he has figured it out.
He had no evidence, he just thought it up on his own.
Just like the fact that Yang Shuting was pregnant, he wasn't quite sure, but he just felt it was weird.
Old Mrs. Chen thought he was overthinking it. Yang Shuting wasn't that stupid.
"Xiaoyi didn't give her the money for nothing. I think Xiaoyi felt that even if she gave it, she could still get it back."
She is very confident in her precious granddaughter.
Old man Chen: “……!!” That makes some sense!
: There are strawberries in Yunnan Province in January, there are on Baidu.
Ah, my wrist was hurting yesterday, so I took a day off.
