Time always slips away inadvertently, especially when we get older, this feeling becomes more and more obvious.
When Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao came back, both families were very happy. However, as they stayed at home longer, the adults on both sides began to dislike the two children more and more. As a result, the one and a half month winter vacation passed quickly. When Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao drove back to Beijing, Comrade Du and others were reluctant to let them go.
For Du Chen, he has to study hard from the moment he opens his eyes in the morning until he goes to bed at night. Although time passes quickly, the days are very difficult to endure. Every time he thinks that he will have to live like this for another two and a half years, Du Chen can't help but sigh in his heart.
Even so, Du Chen continued to persevere, because Comrade Lao Du and Ren Surong both hoped that Du Chen could be admitted to a good university. Du Chen did not want to disappoint his parents, so he could only study hard. After all, the knowledge advantage brought to him by rebirth was no longer his advantage as time went by.
However, with the arrival of the May Day holiday, Du Chen finally had some time to catch his breath.
"Lao Du, we're opening tomorrow. Are all the preparations ready?"
The night before the seven-day May Day holiday, Ren Surong asked the tired comrade Lao Du.
"Are you all ready, Lao Ding?"
"Should you be ready?"
Old Ding was also slumped on the sofa, answering Comrade Old Du's questions uncertainly.
"What do you mean you should be ready?"
Although Jia Xiaomin felt sorry for the tired Lao Ding, she still asked Lao Ding. After all, her family's assets, together with Lao Du's family's, had all been invested in the 4S shop. If they couldn't make any money, the two families would have to tighten their belts together.
"Lao Du and I have been so busy lately that we've been completely overwhelmed. Although we've considered all the possibilities, this is our first time doing such a large deal, and we're not sure if there are any areas of negligence."
Old Ding explained to Jia Xiaomin and Ren Surong with a wry smile. After all, it was the first time for the young lady to get into the sedan chair. He and Old Du couldn't guarantee whether there were any omissions or unexpected emergencies.
Following Lao Ding's explanation, everyone fell silent for a moment. Both families had to take out all their assets. If it succeeded, it would be fine. But if it failed, it would be like going back to the days before liberation. In any case, no one could be happy at this time.
"Mom, Dad, Uncle Ding, Auntie, don't worry! It will definitely succeed."
Du Chen saw that the atmosphere was somewhat silent, so he could only speak up, wanting to give some encouragement to the few people.
"Do you think everyone can afford a car? I don't think there are many cars on the road."
Ren Surong was not in a good mood and asked Du Chen uncertainly. With the final step approaching, everyone was a little worried.
"Mom, have you noticed that there are more and more cars every year? There weren't many cars in our yard before. When we first moved in, only our family had one. What about now? Are there more and more private cars in the community?"
Looking at the two worried families, Du Chen continued to present facts and reason to dispel everyone's negative emotions.
"That's right, Chenchen is right. There weren't many cars in our neighborhood before, but now there are three or five cars parked in front of that building!"
Comrade Lao Du forced himself to cheer up, and at the same time tried to reassure a few people, but he was also brainwashing himself.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
Suddenly, the phone at the counter rang. Ren Surong was startled and went to the counter to answer the phone.
"Hello, Mom?"
"Boss, is that you?"
"Yeah mom, it's me!"
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Hearing that it was Du Bin calling, Ren Surong pressed the speakerphone button and put the phone down, allowing everyone to answer the call together.
"It's okay, Mom. Miaomiao is here with me. I remember our 4S store is opening tomorrow, right?"
On the other side of the phone, Du Bin's tone was very cheerful as he asked his mother Ren Surong happily.
"Yes, it's open tomorrow. Is there something you want to talk about? Why is Miaomiao with you?"
At this time, Comrade Lao Du couldn't help but say to Du Bin on the other end of the phone.
"Dad, can't I call you if I'm fine?"
Du Bin said to Comrade Lao Du with a helpless look on his face, "His father was obviously reluctant to let him go when he returned to Beijing, so why is his tone so impatient now?"
"Tsk, how many times have you called us? Aren't we always the ones calling your dorm? If you have something to say, say it now! What's the point of the phone call?"
Comrade Lao Du spoke to Du Bin impatiently. He suspected that Du Bin called him to ask for money.
“Chuckle…”
Du Bin didn't say anything on the phone. Everyone only heard Ding Miaomiao's happy laughter, or perhaps it could be said that it was a laughter of gloating.
"Miaomiao, what are you laughing at? It's already so late, why are you still with Du Bin? Why haven't you returned to the dormitory yet?"
Hearing Ding Miaomiao's gloating laughter, Old Ding rarely scolded Ding Miaomiao.
"Hahaha……"
This time Ding Miaomiao didn't say anything, but everyone heard Du Bin's hearty laughter.
"What are you laughing at? Miaomiao didn't say anything about you. Why aren't you staying in the dormitory so late at night?"
Comrade Lao Du's scolding interrupted Du Bin's laughter. This time it was Du Chen's turn to be happy, but Du Chen was very wise and covered his mouth and laughed secretly, not daring to laugh out loud.
"Dad, what time is it? It's not even eight o'clock yet. Miaomiao and I came out to have a meal. We just finished dinner and remembered that the 4S store will open on May Day tomorrow, so I called home to say hello!"
Du Bin didn't know what was wrong with the two families. They were like they had taken a bullet. Weren't they just concerned about the opening of the business tomorrow? Why were they being scolded one after another?
