"That's fine. I don't have much to do tomorrow anyway. As long as it doesn't delay my New Year shopping, it's fine."
Du Chen was free anyway, so he could do anything as long as it didn't interfere with his "business".
"What time are we going out to buy New Year's goods? My family hasn't bought everything yet, and they've been waiting for me to come back."
Li Dewen scratched his head.
"It's around seven o'clock. Let's finish shopping early and do other things."
"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow at seven!"
"Brother Li, what the hell, are you full? If you are, go home and rest and sleep!"
Du Chen looked at the two men's listless appearance and urged them to go home and sleep.
"Then let's go. I can't take it anymore. Du Chen, you can go home by yourself!"
Li Dewen didn't bother to send Du Chen home. He waved his hand and drove away with Xiami, obviously going home to sleep. Du Chen went out and walked on the thin layer of snow on the ground towards the glasses store.
Everyone on the street was beaming with joy, and the closer you got to the residences, the more stalls lined both sides of the road, selling couplets, New Year pictures, and neatly arranged small boxes of candy, melon seeds, and peanuts. Whole pigs were hung on racks, waiting for everyone to choose. The most outrageous thing was the fireworks and firecrackers vendors. A long row of tables were lined with firecrackers and sky rockets for children, and underneath were heavier fireworks like double-kick fireworks. This kind of scene is the only thing you can see now. In the future, the New Year will be less and less odorous. People will no longer smell the sulfur in the air, will not buy new clothes during the New Year, and will not prepare cumbersome dishes like fried meatballs at home. Wouldn't going to a restaurant solve all these problems?
Du Chen exhaled deeply, looked at the white mist spraying out, and smiled. No matter what happened in the future, Du Chen was quite satisfied with his current life. In the future, he would continue to work hard and keep his family happy.
"Second brother, why did you come back just now? Have you eaten?"
As soon as they entered the eyewear store, Comrade Lao Du asked Du Chen and handed him a towel to wipe the snow off his head and body.
"I've eaten, Dad. I had dinner with Li Dewen."
Du Chen wiped the snow off his head and body while answering Comrade Lao Du's questions.
"I haven't seen Li Dewen for a long time. What are you doing now?"
"He took Xiami to the capital to expand the territory."
Du Chen answered casually. Old Ding beside him narrowed his eyes and a lot of ideas suddenly popped up in his head.
"I was wondering why I hadn't seen him for a long time."
Comrade Lao Du didn't react much, he just confirmed his thoughts.
"Dad. You guys don't usually see each other, right? We don't have much interaction."
"No, Li Dewen would come to my place from time to time to sit down and check out his car. He's a car lover after all."
"You have a really good memory. You still remember that he hasn't been there for a long time?"
Du Chen asked Comrade Lao Du with a smile.
"Of course. People who spend money with me regularly have to remember them clearly. I can remember who treats me well, and I remember who treats me badly even better! I remember those who always try to get a bargain clearly."
Comrade Lao Du spoke a truth: people’s hearts are against people’s hearts. We are not fools. We know clearly in our hearts who is good and who is bad, just like a mirror.
"Chenchen, why did Li Dewen go to the capital?"
Old Ding asked Du Chen suddenly.
"I don't know exactly what they're doing, but it seems like they're planning to go to the capital for business?"
"Why are you going to the capital for no reason?"
Lao Ding continued to test Du Chen. His sixth sense told him that this matter was not simple.
"Who knows? I didn't ask him, but I think it's because the conditions in Beijing are better. There are more opportunities and you can make a lot of money."
Du Chen knows nothing about anything. No matter what you say, I don’t know. Let’s see what you can do.
Old Ding Old Ding was not discouraged when he saw Du Chen was so flawless. This was not the first or second time they had fought with each other. If there was any problem, Du Chen would reveal a flaw sooner or later.
"Then why did Li Dewen ask you to eat? There's a big age difference between you two, right?"
Old Ding asked the last question with a smile.
"He had a good time, and I helped him a lot back then. That's the thing about him, he's very grateful and wants to ask me out for dinner from time to time. I was planning to ask my brother and sister Miaomiao out today, but they didn't have time. We also agreed to go shopping for New Year's goods together tomorrow. By the way, Dad, is there anything our family needs? I'll buy it all for you tomorrow."
Du Chen first explained to Lao Ding, and then asked Comrade Lao Du.
"I've bought everything. You can buy whatever you like tomorrow. Just buy some more, but don't buy too much."
Comrade Lao Du gave Du Chen some advice.
"Dad, where are the drinks and fruits?"
“I bought some of both.”
"I understand. I'll take care of it tomorrow!"
In the evening, Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao slowly drove back from the living area, more than half an hour later than usual.
"Brother, Sister Miaomiao, will you be okay tomorrow?"
"No, today is the last day of cram school. What's wrong? What are your plans for tomorrow?"
Du Bin stood there and stretched. It had been snowing all day, and when he and Ding Miaomiao returned to the city, the snow on the road was already quite thick. Du Bin had been very careful along the way, and now he stretched to relax his body.
"Well, I'm going out to buy New Year's goods tomorrow morning, and then I'll have dinner with Li Dewen."
Du Chen talked about tomorrow's arrangements.
"What are you going to talk about?"
"Just a meal. We've pretty much covered everything we needed to talk about today. Then we'll go to the arcade this afternoon."
