Chapter 483: Old Man Chen and Old Lady Chen were tricked. The news that Old Man Chen and Old Lady Chen were going to Beijing spread throughout the brigade.
The old men and women's eyes were green with envy.
Look at your own children and grandchildren, their eyes are not eyes, their noses are not noses, but they grew up eating the same food.
Why is the gap so big?
Some people also went to Old Chen's house to chat with Old Mrs. Chen and Old Man Chen.
Let the old couple not forget them.
Come back often when you have time!
Old Mrs. Chen smiled so hard that her teeth were showing and nodded repeatedly. It went without saying that she would come back.
If you don't return home in glory, it's like walking in the night in brocade clothes!
Old Mrs. Chen couldn't express herself in such flowery words, but she understood the logic!
After becoming rich, she doesn't come back to show off. Is that her character?
Old Mrs. Chen packed her luggage early in the morning and was ready for departure.
The next morning, when we were leaving, many old men and women, relatives and friends came to see us off.
There were also some people with whom I had a particularly good relationship, such as Old Mrs. Zhao, who brought me a bag of boiled eggs.
There was a deep reluctance in his eyes, his eyes were slightly red, his nose was sore, and he could see tears were about to fall.
Old Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes. "How old are you? Why are you still crying and wetting your butt?"
"It's not like we won't see each other again."
Old Mrs. Zhao choked: "...!! This man is absolutely despicable. She gave her true heart to the wrong person like this."
Old Lady Chen continued, "Then Xiaoyi is my granddaughter, not your granddaughter-in-law?"
"If I can go, can't you go too?"
"Just go when you have time. It's not like the kids haven't called you to go.
We have already stepped into the coffin. If we don't go out for a walk now, when we are old, our legs will not be able to move anymore and we will just collapse on the kang.
Don’t you regret it?
I'll go first and scout the way for you, and then I'll be familiar with everywhere.
If you go again, I can take you out to play, and I'll spend money on you. I'm rich!"
As she spoke, she patted her crotch, which was her little piggy bank.
It’s a thick stack of money, truly a sign of wealth.
Old Mrs. Chen’s words made Old Mrs. Zhao laugh, and her eyes became red again after she laughed.
I am embarrassed to say:
"The older you get, the harder it is to hold back your tears."
"Okay, you go first. When you're not busy, I'll go too. You can take me to see Tiananmen Square!"
"good!"
Old Mrs. Chen climbed onto the tractor and waved, "Let's go back. It's still dark and very cold.
My arms and legs are old, don’t let them get frozen.”
Only after getting on the train did Old Mrs. Chen become a little listless. She sat there without saying a word.
Old man Chen didn't try to persuade him either.
He took out a big tomato from his bag and started eating it, smacking his lips.
"These tomatoes are so delicious, juicy, thin-skinned, and thick-fleshed..."
As he expected, Old Lady Chen immediately became energetic and no longer depressed, "Old man, get one for me too.
Bring me two more boiled eggs.
Give me two of the egg pancakes I made this morning, and peel a salted duck egg for me!"
Old man Chen put them all on the table with a smile.
After two days and two nights on the train, they arrived in Beijing in the blink of an eye. The old couple were in great health.
I got off the train carrying a lot of bags.
Chen Qingyi, Chu Xun and Chen Qingbai were waiting on the platform early.
When they saw the two people, they quickly stepped forward to take the luggage, and the old couple smiled so hard that their teeth were showing.
Old Mrs. Chen couldn't wait to ask, "Xiaoyi, I forgot to ask you on the phone.
How big a house did you buy? Is it big enough to live in? How much did you spend? Is the money enough?
Chen Qingyi first grinned, then said weakly: "It's enough to live in, but..."
"What is it?" Old Mrs. Chen guessed that it might be a little small.
Chen Qingyi blinked: "It's just that the house is a bit old, it was built many years ago, hey..."
Chu Xun's shoulders trembled. His wife was fooling him again, but he looked calm.
After leaving the platform, I put my luggage onto the train one by one.
Chen Qingbai was happy and followed suit: "Grandpa, grandma, my eldest brother, my third brother and I also bought some.
We each bought a set, but the three of us didn't have enough money, so we had to borrow from Guan Xiaoyi!"
Old man Chen sighed: "The house is old, so what? At worst, we can find someone to repair it.
If it really doesn't work, just tear it down and rebuild it.
After all, it is your own home, and you feel at ease living there.
The houses that Chu Xun's parents live in were allocated by the state and cannot be passed down from generation to generation.
It’s better to buy it yourself.
I also thought about it at home. Land in Beijing is very expensive and there are many rich people.
Now that many people are returning to the city, even more people want to buy houses!
If you miss this house, you don’t know when you will find another suitable one.
Haven’t you heard that in the city, there are more than a dozen people crammed into a house of more than 50 square meters?
In order to get housing for the company, I would make trouble for my boss and give him gifts.
You look forward to it every day, but even if you get it, it’s not big and it doesn’t belong to you completely!
One day, someone might take it back.
It’s better to buy it yourself. Xiaobai and the other three of you should also do the same. Don’t worry, you are still young.
I will pay you back slowly when I get a job!
That's what brothers and sisters are like. They will help whoever is doing well.
Xiaoyi, have you told your mother-in-law about this?
Borrowing money is such a big deal, you have to discuss it with the old man first." Don't fight over money anymore.
It is said that his granddaughter lives close to her mother's family.
Old Mrs. Chen had her face pressed against the window, staring outside.
Hearing this, he quickly turned his head and stared at Chu Xun without blinking.
Chu Xun hurriedly said, "Grandpa, grandma, don't worry, Xiaoyi has the final say on all matters big and small in our family!
How and where to spend the money is up to her, and my parents don’t have to tell them.”
Whenever he gets his salary, he gives it directly to his wife.
Since getting married, he has never touched the passbook again, and he never asks how much money there is at home.
His parents wouldn't ask either.
Old Mrs. Chen looked stern and said that the couple should discuss things beforehand.
He also taught Chen Qingyi to think more about her own family and be filial to her parents-in-law.
Then he changed the subject with a smile: "My daughter Xiaoyi has been filial since she was young.
No one can find fault with the way things are done."
If it is picked out, it must be that there are a lot of things going on in the husband's family.
Nowadays, there are many families who wish their daughter-in-law would cut off contact with her parents' home.
The daughter-in-law's salary, dowry, and other things all belong to the man's family.
My brother-in-law and sister-in-law are useful and loyal, but you can’t get a penny from your mother’s family.
If you dare to help your mother's family, you will be scolded for days, and there are even cases where the mother-in-law beats the daughter-in-law.
Chen Qingyi and Chu Xun were at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and Chu Xun quickly expressed his loyalty.
"Grandma, my parents never interfere in Xiaoyi and I's affairs, they really like Xiaoyi.
I have no status in front of them now."
Old Mrs. Chen smiled again, turned her head and looked out the window, and Old Man Chen continued with a smile:
"Your grandma and I brought all the money from home!
We don't have much money to spend.
I'll give it to you guys first." Buying a house is a big deal, and Old Man Chen agreed wholeheartedly.
"By the way, Xiao Bai, how much did it cost for the three of you to buy the house?
How much did you borrow from Xiaoyi?"
"I'm going to help pay it back first, after all, Xiaoyi still has two children to support.
If it’s still not enough, I’ll call your dad and ask him to advance some of his salary.”
If his own son buys a house and his father doesn't contribute anything, is that acceptable?
Chen Qingyi lowered her head and her shoulders began to tremble.
The corners of Chu Xun's mouth began to twitch.
Chen Qingbai paused, then coughed lightly and said, "Well, it's not much, this house is a bit expensive.
The three of us could only come up with two-thirds of the money, so each of us borrowed 5,000 yuan!"
"How many?"
"How much?"
The old couple sang high notes directly, their voices split in the air, and Old Mrs. Chen swallowed her saliva.
"Xiao Bai, grandma is getting old, and her hearing may not be as good as it used to be.
Tell me again, slowly, how much did you borrow? Five hundred yuan?"
Chen Qingbai rarely smiled, "No, grandma, you heard it right, it's five thousand!
The house costs about 15,000 yuan, and we each only have 10,000 yuan.
My eldest brother, my third brother and I all borrowed 5,000 yuan from Xiaoyi. Grandpa and grandma, how much did you two bring?
Is it enough to pay Xiaoyi back for us?"
Fifteen thousand, do you think it’s enough?
