Chapter 29 Parents Arrive
The next morning.
Chen Pingsheng drove his Panamera and took his family to watch the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square.
People of his father's generation have special feelings for the flag-raising ceremony.
Seeing our motherland becoming more and more prosperous, my eyes are filled with tears.
This is actually very normal. People like him who were born in the 1980s have not suffered much since birth except for going hungry for two meals every three days.
After all, the country had already implemented reform and opening up at that time.
It was different for his grandfather’s generation.
When the Japanese invaded the village, his grandfather hid in a haystack and was stabbed several times by the Japanese with a sharp knife.
In his grandfather's words, it was just a little bit off.
He was about to die in that Japanese massacre.
It was sheer luck that I survived.
Reality is not a TV drama. When the Japanese invaders entered the village, no matter how the strong men in the village resisted, they were shot one by one.
It's horrible.
They still have a Holocaust memorial there.
When he was a child, Chen Pingsheng watched the most anti-Japanese dramas. It was because his parents liked to watch dramas about fighting the Japanese invaders.
It doesn't matter whether it's exaggerated or not, as long as we beat those devils until they cry out in grief.
Now the country is peaceful and prosperous.
All of this was achieved by our ancestors who sacrificed their lives, shed their blood, used their bodies and rifles to fight against the enemy's advanced planes and cannons.
Now when watching the flag-raising ceremony again, Chen Jianjun raised his hand unconsciously.
He gave a standard military salute.
This not only expresses his special feelings about that era, but also pays tribute to his ancestors.
Most of his grandfather's generation died fighting against the Japanese.
This includes his second grandfather, third grandfather, etc.
And many older relatives.
It is difficult to imagine the cruelty of that special era without actually experiencing that period of history.
So much so that later on, being hungry didn’t matter at all; being able to have a full meal was happiness.
After watching the flag-raising ceremony, Chen Pingsheng took them to see the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, etc.
A famous cultural building in Beijing.
The older generation likes to watch these.
At noon, we also went to eat the famous Quanjude Roast Duck in Beijing.
After a day of shopping, I feel more tired than going to work.
The family didn't drive home until four o'clock in the afternoon.
The notice was sent this morning, and everyone is required to come to his house for dinner tonight, which is considered a formal celebration of moving into a new house.
Liu Fen and Song Huamin arrived earlier, and Peng Ying and Chen Jianjun were very polite when they received them.
After all, when they got married before, Song Yanxi really didn't ask for a penny of betrothal gift, and even gave a dowry of 100,000 yuan.
It's also her health problem. She had many old illnesses when she was young. She went to the hospital every few days, which drained the family's savings.
Things have only gotten better in recent years. Now that I see my son is so successful, I’m in a good mood and my illness is healing faster.
Liu Fen is even more polite than her, mainly because of that.
This son-in-law from another place has become a hot commodity now.
If he gets divorced in his condition, he can find anyone at the age of 18.
Before the age of thirty, the son depends on the father; after the age of thirty, the father depends on the son.
Now that his son has become successful, everyone has to treat Chen Jianjun with respect and courtesy.
This is the meaning of making money.
When Zhang Tao arrived, he was carrying a Huanghuali chair.
When Old Chen moved to a new house, he didn't have anything good to give as a gift, so he just gave him a boss chair.
The gift from Liu Jing was a luxury tea-making table, which also cost more than 10,000 yuan.
As for Chen Hao and his team, they were also given various high-end furniture.
Now that he has accepted gifts, he will have to return the gifts when they move into their new home.
Song Yanxi and her mother-in-law Peng Ying made four hot pots and six home-cooked dishes.
In the hot summer, spicy lobster is a must.
There are also the southern provinces’ favorite chopped pepper fish head and stir-fried pork.
The dishes are quite rich.
The whole family had a lively meal.
In the evening, Chen Jianjun suggested setting up another table at a big restaurant tomorrow, mainly to invite Song Yanxi's relatives to come and get together.
His son has been alone in the capital for so many years, so now that he is here, he still wants to thank his relatives on the Song side.
Liu Fen was naturally very happy when she heard that.
Song Huamin was a little embarrassed. How could he not understand what his in-laws meant?
However, Chen Pingsheng had been in Beijing for six years, but he had never received any benefit from them.
I received a lot of eye rolls.
Now that his in-laws have proposed inviting the Song family, he is obviously feeling a little guilty.
There is nothing wrong with Chen Pingsheng himself, the main reason is that he has a good relationship with Song Yanxi.
No matter how many cold stares I get.
His wife never blamed him, instead she scolded all the relatives from her mother's side.
It would be nice to have a chance to ease the relationship now.
In the evening, after Chen Qi helped clean up the dishes, she pulled her brother aside.
"Brother, tell me the truth, are you a billionaire now? Am I the billionaire's sister?"
"What are you thinking about? Forget billions. You don't even have a million right now. You still owe two million for the house."
"Brother, that's not possible for you. You have to work hard and strive to become a billionaire soon!"
Chen Pingsheng: “…”
What I mean is, I work hard and you just lie down.
"Chen Qi, what are you thinking about all day long?"
"Isn't it just that I hope you can become a wealthy man soon?"
Chen Qi pulled him to sit under the old tree in the backyard. "Brother, you have a house now, a car, and money. Will you have less motivation in the future?"
"Of course not. This is just the beginning. With your brother's conditions, he's not even as good as an ant in the capital. What are you going to do in the future when you stay in the capital?"
"What else can I do besides selling fruit to you? I don't have a high level of education."
"Now you know that education is not enough."
Chen Pingsheng taught him, "When you were studying, I always told you to work hard, but you just ignored me."
"Heh..." Chen Qike had something to say. "Didn't your elder sister tell you the same thing every day when you were studying? Did you listen?"
Good guy, the eldest brother doesn’t say anything about the third brother, and the third brother doesn’t say anything about the fourth brother.
The whole family has no cultural genes.
Look at Chen Anan, after dinner she was shaking her butt and watching Teletubbies.
I guess he inherited his good genes, so I can't expect him to study well.
In the future, I can only find a way to leave her a few more houses. It seems that collecting rent all day long is not bad.
Chen Qi said that his brother was unreliable, but he still admired him in his heart.
She has already thought about it and will talk to her sister-in-law about it tomorrow.
There is no need for any special arrangements to work in a fruit store. You can start as a display clerk.
That's all she's capable of now.
Of course, if her brother could just arrange for her to do a job that was easy and well-paid near home.
She would also agree happily.
She finally has a brother to rely on. If she doesn't rely on him, she would be a fool.
The next day at noon, Chen Pingsheng booked a private room at the Grand Hotel.
The main thing is to invite my wife's family to have a meal.
His parents have finally come over, so it would be inappropriate not to have a get-together.
Naturally, there was a lot of drinking going on at the table.
The good words that you never heard before are now like a torrent of water, endless and continuous.
For example, my mother-in-law Liu Fen stood up, patted her chest, and said righteously:
"From the first moment I saw Pingsheng, I felt he had great potential."
This must be talking about me, Chen Pingsheng expressed his confusion.
Liu Fen continued, "When he came to the capital, I applauded him. Why?
"Isn't this just like the way a fierce dragon crosses the river? For people like him, it's like God has bestowed upon them a great mission. What does that have to happen first?"
"To make him suffer." Song Huamin said awkwardly. This old woman changed her expression so quickly.
But if you want to change, just change it, don't be so shameless.
"Yes, harden their hearts, what's the next sentence?"
"Toil their muscles and bones."
"Yes, it's hard work."
Liu Fen transformed into a wise old lady and kept boasting, "That's why I didn't give him any help after he came to the capital. I have always given him absolute spiritual support.
“It’s all for the children.”
Song Yanxi herself was dumbfounded. How could her mother really say that?
At that time, I heard her say that as long as Chen Pingsheng bought a house, she would even go to his house and kneel down to apologize.
Now, she will just perform a stand-up comedy to try to explain her cold-eyed indifference for so many years.
The most embarrassing thing was that Song Wu was the only one left at the table.
As a sister-in-law, don’t even think about being a close-fitting little cotton-padded jacket for your brother-in-law.
It’s a good thing not to get poked with needles.
Her mother spoke her lines very convincingly. After forcing her to come ashore to clean up the mess, don't leave her alone in the sea.
Liu Fen even kicked her appropriately.
If you need to apologize, apologize. If you need to lose face, lose face quickly.
I have to admit that sons-in-law from other places are no longer what they used to be.
