"Oh?" Chen Xingling asked jokingly, "You came to see me specially? You don't come to see me for no reason!"
Chen Jixing smiled silently, with a hint of helplessness on his brows.
"I was too busy a while ago and couldn't come to see you. Look, I came as soon as I had some free time."
Chen Xingling looked at the brand new motorcycle and asked, "Is this a new one? How much is it?"
"It cost a lot of money." Chen Jixing explained: "It took a lot of effort to buy this thing. Fortunately, my colleague helped a lot to get the ticket, and Siya raised some money for me, so I finally bought it."
Chen Xingling clicked his tongue a few times and praised generously: "As expected of a master, you look really cool! By the way, why didn't you bring my fourth sister-in-law with you?"
As soon as the fourth brother and his wife had settled down, they turned around and went to the master to find a Feng Shui treasured site to bury his fourth sister-in-law and her relatives.
The construction of the cemetery took more than half a month before it was finally completed.
My parents took into consideration that my fourth sister-in-law's grandfather had just passed away and according to the old rural tradition, no wedding could be held within three months, so they postponed their wedding to the end of the year.
The newlyweds are already living and sleeping together, all they need is a wedding ceremony. They don't mind at all, they can wait for several years anyway, so three months won't make a difference.
After listening to his sister-in-law, the fourth brother did not go out to sea again, but asked for leave for a few months from his leader.
Everyone in the family respected Fourth Brother's idea and suggested that he take a rest for a while before making any plans.
Although his family still supported him to go to sea, his lifelong event was obviously more important at this time, so they were wise enough to remain silent.
"She... is at home." Chen Jixing got out of the car, took out the key and put it in his trouser pocket, "Let's go find a place to talk."
Chen Xingling pointed to the small office and said, "Please come in!"
The fourth brother put his hands in his trouser pockets handsomely and walked into the small office wearing big leather shoes.
Chen Xingling asked enthusiastically: "Water or tea?"
"No." Chen Jixing said, "I'm not thirsty. This is your workplace, don't disturb me for too long, let's chat for a while and then leave."
Chen Xingling asked curiously: "What's the matter? Where are you taking me?"
"Ah..." Chen Jixing scratched his short hair with a little annoyance and whispered: "I plan to come to the city to find a suitable place to buy a house, preferably a ready-made one in the city center."
Forehead?
Chen Xingling was stunned for a second, then blurted out, "What's wrong? Is Fourth Sister-in-law not used to living at home?"
"Yeah." Chen Jixing smiled bitterly: "Not only is she not used to it, but the sisters-in-law at home are also not used to it. Although my parents don't say it, I can see that they are having a hard time enduring it, but they don't want to say it out loud."
Chen Xingling thought for a moment and asked, "Is it... a cultural conflict?"
"I guess so." Chen Jixing explained: "She has always lived in a big city and is not used to the dirt and mess in the countryside. She can't stand the clucking of chickens, ducks and geese, and is afraid of piglets running around - there are always a lot of them."
Chen Xingling nodded suddenly and said, "I can understand that. Our place is considered a rural area, and every household raises chickens and pigs, so it's inevitable that it's a bit dirty and messy. However, our house is relatively clean. My sisters-in-law wash all day long, and my mother has always loved cleanliness."
"No." Chen Jixing shook his head: "She doesn't dislike our house being dirty, she dislikes the outside being too dirty. She gets along well with everyone. Everyone in our family is generous and open-minded, and they don't care about small matters. She likes our big family. I mean, it's the eating habits and some ways of speaking... There are still quite a few conflicts."
Chen Xingling suppressed his laughter: "I heard that you guys were too unrestrained. The brothers even felt a little uncomfortable at first."
The fourth sister-in-law grew up in an open and enthusiastic culture abroad. She is passionate and unrestrained, and speaks directly. She kissed and hugged her brother without avoiding other people, which embarrassed the family members at first!
Recently, several of her brothers still insist on coming to work in the afternoon, so they can see her every day.
Because of this, she knows everything about the family, even the smallest details.
I heard that the fourth brother and his wife would hug each other from time to time, and even kiss each other without any hesitation. At first, everyone was stunned, frightened and embarrassed!
Later, the fourth brother gave an awkward explanation and secretly reminded the fourth sister-in-law to be more careful, and the matter was finally covered up and avoided.
As an adult, and one who had traveled to countless countries, Chen Jixing didn't care much.
"I have taught Siya and she already understands it. In fact, there is another reason why we want to move to the city - we want to start a business."
Wow!
Chen Xingling's eyes widened in fear, and he asked, "You-you want to start a business? Fourth brother, you really don't want to work on a ship anymore? Really?"
As far as she knew, the fourth brother had always loved the sea and was used to the hard and lonely days of drifting on the sea.
He already had a high position, and if he gave up sailing, it would mean he would have to start all over again. Although they were still young and had many opportunities, the fourth brother must have felt very unwilling to give up like this.
Not only her, but also her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, would feel unwilling and pity for him.
"I'm still on vacation." Chen Jixing shook his head. "No hurry, let's help Si Ya settle down first. Your fourth sister-in-law is well educated and has been a small boss. She is cheerful and lively. She can't sit still at all. Recently, she has been telling me that she is bored and worried about running out of money."
I never thought I would face so many problems after starting a family!
Being used to being free and easy, he couldn't accept it all at once. He needed time to calm down and solve the problems one by one.
"Yeah." Chen Xingling nodded in agreement: "Indeed, you are not wasting your time. After all, you are still young and you are still working hard. Don't be too leisurely and lazy. Otherwise, even if you have a lot of savings, there will be a day when you will spend all your money."
Chen Jixing held his temple and frowned as he explained, "Over there, we either farm or work in the sea, there are no other options. Si Ya is used to living in the city, and there are more employment and entrepreneurship opportunities in the city, so we have to move here first."
"Don't worry." Chen Xingling raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you thought about what you want to do?"
Chen Jixing shook his head without a clue: "I can't think of it yet."
Forehead?
Chen Xingling glared at him and asked, "You're moving here without thinking about it? It's not right to act rashly without planning, right?"
"Si Ya wants to open a small tavern at the dock." Chen Jixing whispered, "She wants to go back to her old business. After all, it's her old profession and it's easier to do."
Chen Xingling couldn't help but frowned when he heard it: "It's probably not going to work. First of all, there are many people floating around the docks here, but not many people can afford to spend money. In addition, it's too difficult to open a shop and do business privately... Be careful of being accused of speculation and capitalism. Fourth sister-in-law is from abroad, and she may not be able to clear herself even if she jumps into the Yellow River. This kind of thing - don't take risks!"
"It's much more relaxed now!" Chen Jixing: "We in Yucheng are not that strict either."
Chen Xingling thought for a moment and whispered, "Now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, perhaps in a few years all this will disappear, but for now we should not take risks, lest we invest a lot of money and end up with nothing."
"Then..." Chen Jixing was even more at a loss after hearing this, and said, "I really don't know what you are going to do..."
He never thought that he would have to leave the ship one day. It's not that people don't have plans, but they never have other plans.
He really had no idea how to find a new plan in such a short time.
Chen Xingling rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Fourth brother, I have an idea, I wonder if——"
"Just say it!" Chen Jixing poked her forehead and scolded with a smile: "There is nothing we can't talk about as siblings! If you have an idea for something, why don't you say it earlier!"
Chen Xingling didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm just discussing it with you, I can't confirm it yet!"
"explain!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Xingling came forward and asked seriously, "Fourth brother, how much money do you have now?"
Family members never hide anything. They will tell whatever you ask and will never deliberately hide anything.
Chen Jixing answered truthfully, "I have about 4,000 yuan. Your fourth sister-in-law has quite a lot of money. Add in the money her brothers and sisters gave her, and it would be tens of thousands of yuan in cash here."
“Wow~~~~” Chen Xingling was dumbfounded.
