Chapter 285 A visitor comes to the house
When they were about to get off the car, Song Mo asked tentatively: "Wife, have we told our family about buying a courtyard house?"
"Tell me, how else can you explain all these pomegranates?"
When the two walked into the yard, they found the house was quite lively.
Then I saw a few old men wearing military uniforms with epaulettes, looking quite imposing. They were all accompanied by guards.
The two of them immediately understood that these people must be friends of their grandfather who were in high positions of power.
Sure enough, when the old man saw them coming back, he immediately introduced them to everyone, "This is my eldest granddaughter, this is my grandson-in-law... This is your Grandpa Gao, this one you call Grandpa Zhao, and this one is Grandpa Wang. Grandpa told them that my eldest granddaughter's cooking skills are good, but they didn't believe it, so they came to taste her food."
The three old men accused Chen Guoqing one after another, and the room suddenly became lively.
If the old man was just trying to create atmosphere, he would immediately apologize with a smile on his face and bowed.
Several people knew Mr. Chen's temper very well, and they just criticized him and made some jokes at the same time.
Seeing that Grandpa and his friends were getting along well, Chen Kexin was happy and said with a sweet smile: "Hello, Grandpas, you guys have some tea first and let Song Mo chat with you. I'll go wash some fruit and then go to the kitchen to show off my cooking skills."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Chen Kexin came to the kitchen and saw her mother busying herself.
"Ke Xin, why did you just come back?"
"Mom, we were delayed by something. I'll go wash the fruit and let the elderly eat first."
"Ke Xin, your sisters are going to wash the fruit. Cut the meat and stew the braised pork first."
Chen Kexin leaned over to look and saw that her two younger sisters were washing fruit in the laundry sink next to the yard.
Wash your hands immediately before cooking.
I was secretly thankful that Song Mo and I brought back a lot of food at noon today.
An hour later, the dishes were served on the table.
There are steamed prawns, stewed crucian carp with sauce, braised beef with sauce, braised pork, cold cucumber salad, and cold broccoli salad. The combination of meat and vegetables is very appetizing.
Several elderly people stretched out their chopsticks to taste the food and immediately praised it highly.
"tasty!"
"Old Chen, you not only found your brother-in-law, but also your son and grandchildren. Your eldest granddaughter's cooking skills are really good. This is what they call a blessed person who doesn't have to work hard and can enjoy happiness in the future."
"Thanks for your kind words, brothers, please help me think about whether there is any job that my son and daughter-in-law can do?"
Mr. Zhao suggested, "How about letting my niece-in-law go to the logistics department?"
"OK!"
Mr. Gao said tentatively, "Old Chen, your son is middle-aged now, he should learn a skill instead of wasting time on writing. How about letting your son learn to drive in the fleet?"
Chen Jiancheng was stunned. Driving is a technical job. How could he do it without knowing a few words?
Chen Kexin, who was serving the dishes, heard this and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Everyone knows that among the five most popular lucrative jobs in the 1980s, driver was the first.
She quickly interrupted, "Dad, I think it's okay!"
Over the past six months, Chen Jiancheng discovered that his eldest daughter had good taste, and he let her make decisions on household affairs.
He looked at his daughter in confusion, and found that she blinked at him, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll learn!"
The old men had no idea that their newly found nephew was used to listening to his daughter. They nodded with satisfaction and said, "Old Chen, it's good that your son is willing to learn. It can be seen that he has a pure heart and is a talent that can be cultivated."
The old man knew that because of their good family conditions, there were many cynical children among the children in the compound.
Although my son comes from a peasant family and has a narrow range of knowledge, he is a loyal gentleman.
He said proudly: "This child is a sincere person with a kind heart, but he doesn't have any ulterior motives. He will need you uncles to give him some advice in the future."
Several elderly people have a good relationship with Chen Guoqing and have helped each other over the years, and they all expressed their gratitude.
"That's good. Such a child is worry-free."
"I think the Chen family's granddaughters and grandsons are all talented, the daughters-in-law are filial, and the eldest granddaughter is especially smart. You can enjoy your old age in peace."
"That's right, the greatest blessing is the blessing of old age!"
After listening to the words of several friends, Chen Guoqing felt happy.
"Thank you for your good wishes. If you want to eat the food cooked by my granddaughter in the future, please come visit me often. Now that the fighting on the border has ceased, it's time for us old guys to enjoy life."
After eating the delicious fruits and fragrant dishes, they felt relaxed and happy and said, "Then we won't be polite."
Ever since he started eating the dishes made by his eldest granddaughter, the old man has been feeling better and better, and even his old injuries have not recurred.
He guessed that his granddaughter had a secret, but he didn't want to ask.
These are my close friends, and they all have varying degrees of illness.
He hopes that his old brothers can also get rid of their illnesses like himself.
I sincerely invite a few people to come to my house for meals often.
"You're welcome!"
After the old men had eaten and drunk their fill, they exchanged a few words and gave red envelopes to the children.
They are all in high positions and have plenty of money. Since their old friend has found his children and grandchildren, they should come over to congratulate him and express their gratitude.
Before leaving, Chen Kexin packed a basket of fruits for the old men, including apples, dates, longans, and a few large pomegranates.
After the guests left, the old man asked curiously, "Why are there so many pomegranates?"
"Grandpa, I haven't had time to tell you and my family that the last time I came to Longcheng to visit my relatives, I bought a small courtyard house. It was provided by Song Mo and his family to take care of their family members who work in the city. There is a pomegranate tree in the yard. Let's go pick some today. Grandpa, they are very sweet."
The old man took the pomegranate and asked in surprise: "Ke Xin, how much is the house? How do you have so much money?"
"Grandpa, it's only 2,300 yuan. I once told you that a few months ago, I often went up the mountain to collect herbs and collected ginseng, which I sold for several thousand yuan."
The old man was afraid that the two young people would take the wrong path, so he was relieved when he heard this. He said while eating a pomegranate, "Okay, we've bought the house, so you'll have a place to live when you get married."
Chen Kexin blushed immediately and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, I'm still young..."
The old man looked at Song Mo meaningfully and said, "Even if my granddaughter is old enough to get married, it will take two years. Grandpa can't bear to let her go."
Song Mo secretly groaned in his heart when he heard this. It seemed that his road to chasing his wife would be endless. Baby felt so wronged——
The old man didn't look at his grandson-in-law's miserable face. He looked at the children and said, "By the way, I have already contacted them about schooling. There is a primary school not far from the compound."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "Go find Principal Wang and tell him that I'm the student introduced by Director Zhang."
Chen Kexin took the note and said, "Grandpa, I will take my younger brother and sister to school tomorrow."
The old man smiled with satisfaction. He knew his eldest granddaughter was very generous and generous, and could be trusted to do things.
"Okay, you take them. By the way, how did you do your work today?"
Chen Kexin knew that her grandfather was asking about meeting her uncle-master.
"Grandpa, I just found out that my master is a beautiful lady. She promised to teach me every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons, and let me study on my own during the weekdays."
"Beautiful lady? How old is your uncle?"
"I can't tell. I think she's well maintained."
"I heard that a good Chinese medicine practitioner can keep one young forever. Your uncle is no ordinary master! Chinese medicine is extensive and profound. She must be a great Chinese medicine expert. You must study hard."
Chen Kexin nodded in agreement and said, "Grandpa, I will!"
