Xiao Xu: "I'm not worth much, who would buy me?
Song Chen: "Okay, think carefully about what I told you. I'm waiting for your good news. When can I ask for a wedding wine?"
Xiao Xu agreed generously: "Okay, it will be soon."
Song's main purpose in coming here was to discuss this matter with Xiao Xu, and also to deal with other things. He would go back after things were dealt with. He had been out for half a month, and he missed his wife.
After sending Xiao Xu away, I received a cross-border call from my son.
"What's wrong, son?"
Lin Jingbei's voice was intermittent, but one could still hear the child's happiness: "Dad, we won."
Song Chen chuckled, "Who won?"
Lin Jingbei: "The Japanese team is number one in Asia."
Ouch.
Song Chen: "Okay, okay, it's a great honor to our family. I'll go burn some paper for your grandparents and tell them to talk things over. When you come back, I'll make whatever you want to eat. That's great, my son."
This was the first time that Lin Jingbei heard his father praise him so readily.
On the side where Song Chen couldn't see, she smiled with her eyes curved.
After hanging up the phone with his son, Song Chen rode his bike to buy some incense, candles and paper for burning, and then rode directly to the mountain behind the village.
There was a section of the road where the bike could not be ridden, so Song Chen parked his bike at the foot of the mountain, carried his things and walked up the mountain, calling his wife as he walked.
Although he knew in his heart that his son must have called them, he still wanted to call.
"Wife, are you happy that your son won?" He sounded so happy as if he was the winner.
Lin Lu was talking to her brother on the phone just now. She didn't answer her son's call, so she hung up and called back, but there was a busy tone.
"Did you win? Which country did you win against, and what place did you place in?"
Song Chen: "Didn't I tell you? We beat the Japanese and took first place in Asia."
Lin Lu: "That's amazing, and his friends are amazing too. I just called the guy, but he didn't pick up. I tried calling him again, but he might be busy again, so he didn't pick up."
Song Chen swung his sickle left and right, cutting away the dead grass blocking the road.
Maybe no one has been here for a while, and now new grass is starting to sprout.
"You called the boy? What did you say?"
Lin Lu was silent for a while, unable to hide her smile. If Song Chen was next to her, he would have seen how brightly his wife was smiling. "There's something. My brother asked me to tell my parents that he wants to go home."
Song Chen was startled for a moment: "Ah, why is it so sudden?"
Lin Lu: "It seems our previous guess was correct."
Song Chen murmured softly: "What guess?"
She couldn't quite follow her train of thought.
Lin Lu: "That child is really not my brother's biological child?"
Song Chen paused, unsure of what expression or reaction to make: "Ah, it's really Brother Gu's?"
Who is Brother Gu following?
It can’t be with that madman.
Brother Gu isn't that boring, is he?
Lin Lu didn't treat Song Chen as an outsider. The couple would discuss everything together. "It seems to be about Feng Heng's sister Feng Xuan."
Lin Lu vaguely heard the young man say just now that the child has now arrived at the Gu family.
Gu Yun was very strong in this regard. After knowing that it was his own child, he went directly to the Feng family and took the child away.
Song Chen really wanted to continue gossiping with his wife, but he had already arrived at his parents' grave and he had important things to deal with.
"Well, daughter-in-law, I'll tell you when we get back. I'll burn some paper for my parents first and tell them the good news that their son has brought honor to the family."
Lin Lu: "Sure, okay. Talk to Mom and Dad. I'm going to hang up now and I'll talk to you when I get back."
When he arrived at his parents' grave, Song Chen put down his backpack. There were still some remnants of firecrackers in front of the grave.
Two years ago, the three brothers built stone tables and stone chairs in front of their parents' graves.
He cleaned the area in front of and behind Song Chen's grave and knelt down to burn paper for his parents.
Song Chen was not very close to his father, who was said by others to be irresponsible, bad-tempered, and had caused his mother to suffer throughout her life. He symbolically burned two pieces of paper for him and then came over to burn them for his mother.
He bought a basket of paper and burned them one by one, talking to his mother as he burned them.
"Mom, your eldest grandson has brought honor to our family. You know, he went to Japan to compete, and he beat the little Jap devils to a pulp and won first place in Asia."
He changed the subject and began to praise his wife: "It is also thanks to Lulu that she gave birth to such a lovely grandson for you. You must bless her to be healthy and happy every day.
Oh, I haven’t told you yet, Brother Lin Cheng is still alive, and he’s planning to go home and meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law…”
While chatting, he said a lot of things to his parents, the purpose of which was to ask his mother to bless his wife.
Song Chen stayed here for more than an hour before finishing his work and going home.
The car is still on the roadside at the foot of the mountain. It would be bad if it was stolen.
But fortunately, the car is still there.
Song Chen went to the beverage factory and said to Song Zidong, "I'll buy a ticket back tonight. You take care of the factory's affairs. Call me if you have any questions."
Song Zidong was stunned: "Going back tonight? Why not stay for dinner and go back tomorrow?"
Song Chen: "No, I'm not going to eat anymore. The supermarket over there is waiting for me."
Song Zidong was very curious about what the supermarket his uncle opened in Shanghai looked like. "Uncle, I'll come with you on your next delivery. It's a great opportunity to see your supermarket. I heard it's huge."
Song Chen: "It's just average, not that big. Okay, stop being lazy and work hard."
After saying hello to this person, I went to the car factory and said hello to a few people there.
Zhao Xunyou has been staying at his house these past few days. Song Chen gave him the key and said, "You can ride this bike for the time being. I'm going back to Shanghai first."
Zhao Xunyou asked him, "What about opening a shop?"
Song Chen: "I'll go take care of it first. Don't worry about those things. We'll talk about it after you come back."
Zhao Xunyou has now become familiar with Xiao Xu and Chen Xingchen, so he is no longer afraid when Song Chen is not around.
He waved his hand and said, "Okay, brother-in-law, you can go back first."
Seeing that the child Chen Xingchen was hesitant to speak to him, Song Chen said, "Don't worry, I won't forget about you."
Chen Xingchen: "Thank you, boss."
Zhao Xunyou was curious: "What's the matter, Xingchen?"
Chen Xingchen: "Nothing."
Song Chen went to the brick factory again and talked to the people there before going home to pick up his bag and walking to the station.
It took a few more days to finally get home. There was no one at home and I didn't know where Lin Lu was.
Needless to say, Li Xianglian and the other person must have gone out to do business. Song Chen was too lazy to cook, so he just called the restaurant owner outside and ordered two dishes. He also ordered their door-to-door service. After he finished taking a shower and came out, they could eat.
"Hey, wife, where are you? Where have you been?"
