Chapter 249 Face
After finishing the ancestral worship meal, except for some elders who stayed to discuss the matter of compiling the genealogy, everyone else left and went back to their own homes to look for their own mothers.
After all, it is not easy to endure the scorching sun until the afternoon.
Wang Xiuren followed the crowd and walked towards home with his wife and daughter. Also accompanying them were his three brothers and their wives and children.
Because it was summer vacation, their wives took the children to Yangcheng to reunite with them. Wang Zongsheng called them back two days ago.
Having not seen each other for a long time and rarely contacting each other, Wang Xiuren and his three brothers chatted casually.
It’s not that we are strangers, but we can’t be close to each other either.
Not to mention Lin Qiu and the three sisters-in-law.
Instead, Wang Ling took the initiative to talk to Wang Shan for a while, and Wang Zhen also followed.
When they arrived in front of the old house, the four families separated.
After returning home, the family of three washed their faces at the water pressure well before sitting down to chat.
"Are you tired?" Wang Xiuren saw his daughter's face turned red from the sun.
"I'm not tired, but I'm overwhelmed by the sun." Wang Shan didn't understand why they had to have a dinner party under the scorching sun.
"Apply some aloe vera gel, don't get sunburned." Lin Qiu took out a tube of aloe vera gel from her bag and handed it to her daughter.
Wang Shan not only applied a layer on her own face, but also applied it on the red areas on her parents' faces.
Lin Qiu was fine, but Wang Xiuren felt a little uncomfortable.
"I'm a grown man, why would I apply these things?"
Having said that, he still raised his head cooperatively.
Applying aloe vera gel on the face feels cool and comfortable.
"By the way, what did Wang Ling talk to you about just now? I saw that you two were having a pretty happy chat." Lin Qiu was a little curious.
"She came to congratulate me on getting admitted to Qingmei, and then asked me how I studied to get such high scores." Wang Shan was very frank in front of her parents.
"She is also very capable. She was able to be admitted to Hunan Normal University!" Lin Qiu praised sincerely.
In her previous life, my daughter was admitted to this university. She knew very well how difficult it was to get into this school in such a remote small county like her hometown.
Wang Shan nodded and agreed.
Although she did not go to school in her hometown, she knew the gap in educational resources between here and Shenzhen.
Wang Ling's admission to this school required both talent and hard work.
Wang Xiuren also talked about some things he had heard recently.
Outside the house, the summer cicadas in the trees were chirping in long and short bursts.
We had dinner in the old house, which was prepared by the old couple Wang Zongsheng and Li Xiuying. It was considered a reunion dinner.
This is also the most crowded event in recent years.
Perhaps because they are old, the old couple are not as domineering and mean as before; perhaps because they have experienced more, the four brothers are not so confrontational; perhaps because they have grown up and become sensible, the children no longer fight and act like a spoiled child.
Everything seemed to become peaceful.
It was so friendly that it seemed unreal.
"Second brother, why don't you stay at home for a few more days this time? We brothers can visit each other more often." Wang Xiu De patted Wang Xiu Ren's shoulder and said loudly.
Wang Xiuren was about to answer when the cell phone in his pocket rang.
"Let me take a call first!" Wang Xiuren took out his cell phone and pressed the answer button.
"Aren, when will you be back?" Adago's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's not decided yet. Has Brother Adal eaten yet?"
"I've eaten. If everything is fine in your hometown, come back quickly!" Ada urged.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Is there some good news?" Wang Xiuren joked.
"It's good news! Come back soon. It's not convenient to talk on the phone. You'll know when you come back!"
Hearing Adago's excited voice, Wang Xiuren's heart felt itchy as if it was scratched by a cat's claws.
"Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiuren found that everyone at the table was staring at him.
"Second brother, are you going back to Pengcheng now?" Wang Zongsheng asked cautiously.
Wang Xiuren nodded, "My boss urged me to go over there."
"Oh, the boss is urging us." Wang Zongsheng nodded. "The boss is urging us, so we have to hurry back. Don't keep him waiting for too long."
Li Xiuying muttered to the side: "You've only been back for a few days and you're leaving again!"
"The second son's work is important!" Wang Zongsheng glared at the old woman, then smiled at Wang Xiuren, "When will you come back?"
Wang Xiuren was somewhat unaccustomed to this kind of Wang Zongsheng, and lowered his eyes, "Come back when you have time!"
"Okay, okay!" Wang Zongsheng agreed hesitantly, "When are you leaving tomorrow? I'll go buy some plums and peaches and bring them over."
"Don't bother, Pengcheng has everything." Wang Xiuren waved his hand.
"No trouble, no trouble. I think Shanshan likes these two things." Wang Zongsheng looked in Wang Shan's direction.
When Wang Shan heard her grandfather say this, she answered readily: "Thank you, Grandpa!"
"We are all family, there's nothing to thank me for! Come back and visit when you have time." Wang Zongsheng's voice became a little louder when he saw his granddaughter agreed to him.
"Okay!" Wang Shan nodded.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to go back and pack my things first." Wang Xiuren stood up.
Then he looked at his three brothers and said, "Big Brother, Old Three, Old Man, we have to go back to Pengcheng for something. Let's have a good reunion when we have time."
"Okay! Go do your thing first."
"I understand."
"Okay, brother, let's get together again sometime."
Wang Xiu De and his two brothers also stood up.
The group sent Wang Xiuren and his family to the door.
"I didn't expect you to be so prestigious now. Your parents and brothers all sent you to the door." Lin Qiu teased.
Wang Xiuren shook his head helplessly, "It's not that I have a lot of face."
It is not so much that one's own face is important, but rather that money is important.
In fact, some parents and brothers are more snobbish than anyone else.
When we are young, we always prefer the one who is good at talking and handling things. When we grow up, we tend to prefer the one with better conditions. Whoever has more money has the final say, no matter who is right or wrong. The words were full of praise and flattery.
“But think about it the other way around. This also shows that you are living a better life than them through your own efforts,” Lin Qiu soothed.
Wang Xiuren thought about it and it made sense. The last bit of helplessness in his heart disappeared.
Others say that husband and wife are the closest or the most distant relatives, but in his opinion, the relationship between parents and children is similar.
"Hey, why do you think Brother Adada called you back at this time?" Lin Qiu deliberately changed the subject.
"I don't know either. Brother Adada said it's not convenient to talk about it over the phone." Wang Xiuren also wanted to know, "But Brother Adada said it was a good thing."
"Then it should be about the construction site. Maybe he wants to introduce the construction site to you." Lin Qiu guessed.
"Then I have to see how big the construction site is and how far away it is." Wang Xiuren touched his chin.
"Why did you start picking?" Lin Qiu wondered.
"Because I have to send Shanshan to Beijing! It's my daughter's first time to register at university, and I can't miss it."
"Look at my memory!"
Lin Qiu patted his head, then said with some regret: "It would be great if I could buy a ticket to the Olympics."
"Yes! This is the first time that China hosts the Olympic Games!" Wang Xiuren also felt it was a pity.
"It's okay, we can watch TV together then." Wang Shan thought it was okay.
"Okay, let's watch TV together."
