Jiang Zhida did not persuade her anymore. If Jiang Zhiyi had not been pushed too hard by her uncle and his wife, she would not be so afraid to go home.

Jiang Zhiyi was selecting her newly taken photos on the table. There was a light in her eyes that she had not seen in Beijing.

"Brother, you don't know how free and happy my life is now. I miss my parents, my grandfather and you, but I want freedom more."

Jiang Zhiyi had already selected the photos and looked up at Jiang Zhida.

At this time, Qian Ran came out of the kitchen, poured everyone a cup of hot tea, and sat down next to Jiang Zhiyi naturally.

Jiang Zhida looked at him and Jiang Zhiyi suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong with the two of them.

"Brother Dazi." Qian Ran interrupted Jiang Zhida's thoughts, "When you go back, please tell my parents that I won't be going home for the New Year this year. I will go back to see them when I have time."

Jiang Zhida looked at him, then at Jiang Zhiyi, and leaned back on the sofa: "You didn't go home for the New Year last year, just like Zhiyi. If you don't go back this year, your parents may come directly to Guangzhou to find you."

Qian Ran smiled and said, "Let them come to find you. It's just right for me to take them to see the scenery of Guangzhou and Shenzhen."

Jiang Zhida didn't say anything, but stared into his eyes for a while. Qian Ran was still smiling, touched his face and asked, "Brother Dazi, what's wrong?"

Jiang Zhida shook his head: "Nothing, I'll go to the factory first, Xiaoran, come with me."

As soon as the two walked out of the door, Jiang Zhida took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, then took out another one and handed it to Qian Ran.

Qian Ran pushed the cigarette back to him: "Brother Da Zi, I'm quitting smoking." Jiang Zhida raised his eyebrows, lit the cigarette in his mouth, took a puff, put his hand on Qian Ran's shoulder and said: "Xiao Ran, you are not right." Qian Ran lowered his head and smiled: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Jiang Zhida: "What's going on between you and my sister?" Qian Ran walked out with him, and the smile on his face made Jiang Zhida feel particularly dazzling: "From what you saw, the two of us are together." "Fuck!" Jiang Zhida raised his elbow and pushed Qian Ran away. "I asked you to take care of my sister, and this is how you do it? You took care of her directly and became my brother-in-law?" Qian Ran rubbed his bruised belly, his mouth still raised, without any anger of being attacked: "Brother Dazi, I think it's good for me to be your brother-in-law. You see, I have a career, I used to smoke, but now I have quit, I don't go to red-light districts, I don't have any bad habits..." The cigarette in Jiang Zhida's mouth had already been crushed on the ground: "If not for this, do you think I would only hit you once? But if you dare to let my sister down Sister, you also know the methods of my Jiang Zhida. " Qian Ran nodded: "I know. Brother, don't worry, I will treat Zhiyi well for the rest of my life." Jiang Zhida stared into his eyes, and seeing the seriousness in his eyes, he turned around and said: "Remember what you said. Also, don't change your words to call me brother, you haven't married my sister yet." Qian Ran: "It's not a long time." Jiang Zhida elbowed him again: "Shut up!" Jiang Zhida came to Guangzhou not only to look at the scene, but also to hand over the orders he received to Qian Ran. These orders are more special and the requirements are also strict. "Brother, where did you get this order? The work is not easy to do." Since the last time he called him that, Qian Ran changed his words, and he refused to change no matter how Jiang Zhida looked at him coldly. Qian Ran looked at the order that had even a screw specified, frowning, and thinking about how to complete these orders. Jiang Zhida exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at the busy workers in the factory and said, "Don't worry about it. As long as we finish this order, we won't be afraid of not having orders in the future." And they are all big orders. When Qian Ran heard this, he immediately relaxed his eyebrows and smiled confidently, "Brother, leave this order to me." Jiang Zhida was still confident in Qian Ran. When the order was just started, he went to monitor it for two days. After making sure that the products met the standards, he was ready to return to the capital. He also had Yunmengze in the capital. The New Year was a good time for business, but it was also a time when people were prone to cause trouble. He had to go back and keep an eye on it. When Jiang Zhida was about to leave, Qian Ran stopped him: "Brother, didn't you say you wanted to change your car? Recently, Sister Su said that she had intercepted a new batch of cars." Jiang Zhida's eyes lit up instantly, and he patted Qian Ran's back twice: "Why didn't you tell me this good news earlier!" Qian Ran coughed twice because of his pat: "Brother, please be gentle with me." Jiang Zhida ignored him and asked him to take him to see the cars. The cars were all good cars, smuggled cars intercepted by the government, and the price was cheaper. Jiang Zhida looked around and chose a jeep. Sister Su was the leader here. She smiled at the car he chose and said, "Why do all the men here like Jeeps?" Jiang Zhida patted the black car body and said, "It looks very impressive. Sister Su, can I borrow your phone?" "Okay!" Sister Su had dealt with Qian Ran and Jiang Zhida a lot and they were friends. She took them to her office and asked Jiang Zhida to make a call. Jiang Zhida called Chuxia. He was not sure if Chuxia could answer the call, so he called her home first. No one answered, so he had to call Cen Zhengnian again. Cen Zhengnian just finished a job, otherwise he would not have been able to answer the call. Hearing Jiang Zhida's voice, he was surprised: "Da Zi? What's the matter?" "Cousin, it's like this..." Chuxia had told Jiang Zhida before that she also wanted to buy a car. Although she could take the bus on weekdays, it was still convenient to have a car when it was windy and rainy or when she was moving things. Chuxia had enough money for a car now, so she didn't think about putting herself in a difficult position. Cen Zhengnian heard Chuxia talk about the opportunity to buy a car at home. Chuxia would tell him and An An about everything she thought, and she would never hide anything when it came to making a big decision. "I'll go back and talk to Chuxia, and have her call you back." "Okay!" Chuxia came back from the hospital and heard Cen Zhengnian tell her about Jiang Zhida's call. She was surprised and said, "The car got the news so soon?" Without waiting for Cen Zhengnian to speak, she turned around and ran to the public phone in the family compound and called Jiang Zhida. "Hello?" The voice that answered the phone was a familiar female voice that Chuxia knew.

"Zhiyi?"

"Cousin, it's me!" Jiang Zhiyi's happy voice came from the other end of the phone. She hadn't been home for a year and a half, and she missed Chuxia and her relatives very much.

Chuxia hadn't spoken to Jiang Zhiyi for a long time either. The two chatted on the phone for a while and got to know each other's recent situation.

Jiang Zhiyi, in particular, had changed a lot. Her voice was full of confidence, happiness, and maturity.

"Cousin, you're looking for my cousin, I'll call him for you."

Jiang Zhiyi shouted to Jiang Zhida, and then there was the sound of quick footsteps on the other end of the phone, and the next second Jiang Zhida's voice rang in the phone.

"Cousin, my friend recently got a batch of nice cars. What kind do you want?"

Chu Xia just wanted a means of transportation. She didn't know much about cars at that time. She only said her requirements: "The car should be suitable for family use, sturdy and comfortable to drive. You know cars, please help me pick one."

She said her psychological price. She didn't need a luxury car. After all, it was just a means of transportation.

Cars bought at that time were depreciated. A car was more expensive than a house, and not many people could afford it.

Jiang Zhida nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I've noted them all down. Does my cousin's wife have any left?"

Chuxia: "No, have you seen those cars?"

Jiang Zhida smiled very happily: "I have, and I also picked out a jeep."

Chuxia: "Don't you have a car? What are you going to do with your car?"

She knew that Jiang Zhida's car was in good condition and had not been driven for many years. She shook her head in her heart. It was true that men all loved cars.

"Put it in Yunmengze as a public bus. If someone in Yunmengze needs a car urgently in the future, they don't have to look for it everywhere."

Chuxia nodded and said to him, "I just bought a house and gold bars, and I don't have enough money. Dazi, when you go to buy a car, you can help me to pay for it. When the dividends are distributed every month, you can just deduct my money directly."

The opportunity to buy a car that Jiang Zhida mentioned is different from buying a car in the market. It depends on luck, and Jiang Zhida just happens to be in Guangzhou.

Sister Su is a government worker. The car she has is free of charge, more than half the market price. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you will have it again.

Jiang Zhida naturally agreed. His business was built up with Chuxia's help. Now, let alone helping to pay for the car, he would be willing to give it to Chuxia directly.

After the decision was made, the car was bought very quickly. He just went to Sister Su to see the car, pay for it and buy it.

Jiang Zhida has a fixed train transport company for his goods. It is easy to pay more to hire someone to help transport two cars to Beijing.

A few days after Jiang Zhida returned to Beijing, the two cars were delivered.

Chuxia was not in a hurry to see them. She wanted to wait until Sunday to drive the car over with Cen Huaian.

Because she had decided to buy a car before, Chuxia passed the driving test in advance. After all, she knew how to drive in her previous life, and now the driving test is not as strict as in the future, so she got her driver's license in a very short time.

Cen Zhengnian also took a day off that day, and the family of three went to Yunmengze with anticipation.

When Jiang Zhida's car came back, he was surrounded by several friends, and everyone got in and drove a few laps.

"It's so cool! This car is different from my sedan, the view is so wide!"

Shen Chuan patted the front of the jeep, and his love for it was overflowing.

Jiang Zhida leaned on the car, his mouth curled up, not disguising his proud look: "Why else would I buy it?"

Shen Chuan said "tsk", scratched his head: "No, I have to get one soon, Dazi, you look too greedy!"

Jiang Zhida laughed "haha" and said: "Get it!"

"Get it, get it, we'll get one later." The brothers around said.

Tu Hongxiao stood aside without saying a word, his eyes kept looking at the jeep.

Shen Chuan was not originally in Yunmengze to look after the place today, but he and Tu Hongxiao came to Yunmengze to see Jiang Zhida's car.

Shen Chuan also saw the white car next to the jeep and asked Jiang Zhida: "This car was parked here before. Dazi, you are not going to drive it? Otherwise, let me drive it. I have never driven a car of this brand."

Jiang Zhida grabbed his arm and said, "This car belongs to my cousin's wife. You can't drive it."

Shen Chuan looked away without much regret. He originally liked the jeep.

"Then I'll drive yours for a spin."

Jiang Zhida had no objection and threw the car key to him: "Take it easy and watch out for others!"

"Got it!"

Tu Hongxiao sat on the driver's seat before Shen Chuan did: "I'll drive first."

Shen Chuan: "Tu Hongxiao, you stole my car first again!"

Tu Hongxiao glanced at him.

Shen Chuan threw the key to him: "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you to drive first. Don't look at me like that, you're sneaking in!"

When Chu Xia's family came to Yunmengze, Shen Chuan and Tu Hongxiao just drove the jeep back. The car stopped handsomely in front of Chu Xia and her family. Shen Chuan and Tu Hongxiao got out of the car with excitement in their eyes.

Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian both looked at the jeep with love in their eyes. Only Chu Xia's eyes looked at the white car next to the jeep and fell in love with it at first sight.

"Cousin! Cousin! An An!"

Jiang Zhida was standing aside smoking. He didn't pay attention to the sound of the car and Shen Chuan's excited voice. As a result, he looked up and saw Chu Xia and the other two.

Jiang Zhida quickly put out his cigarette, and Shen Chuan and Tu Hongxiao also turned around and greeted Chuxia and the others.

They were all shareholders of Yunmengze, so they were very familiar with each other.

"Are you here to look at the car, cousin?" Shen Chuan stroked his hair, and looked at Chuxia with a bit of nervousness. After all, he had offended Chuxia when he first met her, so every time he stood in front of Chuxia, he was not very confident.

"Yes."

Jiang Zhida had already walked to the side of the white car, opened the door casually and said, "This is the car, cousin, do you like it? Do you want to try it?"

After looking at the jeep, Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian also saw the white car and knew that it belonged to Chuxia.

The two did not have any requirements for the car. Chuxia bought it and she liked it. But they both thought the car was very beautiful.

Unlike the domineering jeep, this car has a gentler shape and is very suitable for home use.

Chu Xia walked over and touched the car body, not hiding her love: "I like it, I'll try it."

She got in the car, closed the driver's door, started the car and rolled down the window, leaned her elbow on the window, turned her head and hooked her fingers at Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian: "You two can get in too."

Cen Zhengnian sat in the passenger seat, Cen Huaian sat in the back, and Jiang Zhida also got in.

It was Chu Xia's first time driving, and Jiang Zhida, an experienced driver, was worried. What if my cousin-in-law got nervous and didn't control the accelerator or brakes?

Cen Zhengnian sat next to Chu Xia for this reason. He knew how to drive, and if Chu Xia didn't control the car well, he could rescue her as quickly as possible.

"Don't be nervous." Cen Zhengnian washed the seat belt, raised his hand and gently touched Chuxia's hair: "I'm here, drive boldly."

Chuxia looked at him, smiled and said nothing, released the handbrake, reversed and turned, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove out of the garage very smoothly, without any pause or bump.

Shen Chuan and Tu Hongxiao standing by were surprised: "Is it your cousin's first time driving?"

Tu Hongxiao: "Yes."

They all heard what Jiang Zhida said just now. Chuxia really just got her driver's license and drove for the first time.

Shen Chuan showed admiration on his face: "As expected, you are the one who can help Da Zi make a business. You drive differently from others."

He was very nervous when he touched a car for the first time. He drove his car and crashed into his own door. It is easy for him to reverse and drive smoothly like Chu Xia, but he couldn't do it when he first drove.

Cen Zhengnian and Jiang Zhida who were sitting in the car were even more surprised. Cen Zhengnian looked at Chu Xia, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose again. His eyes stayed on Chu Xia's serious face and couldn't move away.

At this time, Chu Xia had no expression on her face. Her eyes were looking at the road ahead. She didn't drive fast, but no matter what she encountered in front, she could handle it perfectly. Her whole aura was unspeakable.

Cen Huaian looked at his mother, lying on the back of the car seat. His eyes were full of admiration.

"Cousin, is this your first time driving a car?"

"Not really." Chu Xia felt the performance of the car, became familiar with the driving feel, and turned handsomely to go back.

Cen Zhengnian and Jiang Zhida: "Huh?"

"I've practiced at the driving school."

However, apart from the cars at the driving school, this was indeed the first time she drove her own car in her life. It was different from the manual transmission in her previous life, but after getting used to it, it was still very smooth.

Driving back again, Chu Xia parked the car perfectly in the warehouse again, and there was no surprise on Shen Chuan and Tu Hongxiao's faces.

Cen Huaian liked his car very much. He had just sat in the car and had already looked at every part of the car. The more he looked, the more he liked it.

Moreover, he was attracted by the way Chuxia drove just now, which made him want to learn how to drive immediately and drive this car for a run.

However, he also knew that he was too young, so he touched the seat of the car reluctantly and got out of the car.

"Da Zi, thank you for taking care of this car!"

After Chuxia test-drove this white car, she knew that Jiang Zhida must have carefully selected it, and it met every requirement she mentioned, and Jiang Zhida also considered what she didn't say.

Jiang Zhida smiled nonchalantly, patted the car body and said, "As long as you like it, cousin-in-law!" After all,

it was the first car, so Chuxia must be satisfied, and Jiang Zhida himself was not a person who could make compromises.

Chuxia drove the car away directly. Her family still had to go to Grandpa Jiang's house, and Jiang Zhida followed in the car.

Arriving at Grandpa Jiang's house, Chuxia finally felt the convenience of driving again, which took half the time of taking the bus.

Because you need to wait for the bus to take the bus, and the bus will stop at the station, it is naturally not as fast as the car that drives all the way to the door.

Zhang Lu was playing war games with friends in the alley outside with Jiang Weixi, and Jiang Weixian was also with them.

Seeing an unfamiliar car parked at the door of Grandpa Jiang's house, Zhang Lu stopped attacking the "enemy" and raised her hand to signal all the children to stop.

She looked at the car with doubts, still wondering whose car it was? The car door opened, and a pair of long legs in a black woolen skirt stretched out from the driver's seat. Then, the familiar Chu Xia got out of the car, and her hair was lifted, which made Zhang Lu's eyes widen.

"Aunt! Sister, it's Aunt!"

Jiang Weixi pulled Zhang Lu and wanted to run over, but Zhang Lu hadn't come back to her senses yet.

"Lu Lu, Xixi, Wei first."

Chu Xia turned her head and saw them first, and waved to them.

At this time, Cen Zhengnian, Cen Huaian and Jiang Zhida also got out of the car. Several people went to get the big and small bags of things in the trunk of the car, all of which were bought by Chu Xia and Jiang Zhida for Grandpa Jiang.

The New Year is coming soon, and it's right to prepare more New Year's goods for Grandpa Jiang's family.

Zhang Lu came back to his senses and pointed at the car and said, "Aunt, is this the new car you bought?"

Chu Xia smiled and nodded, "Yes."

"Wow!" Zhang Lu and Jiang Weixi opened their mouths in amazement, and their eyes widened in the same way.

Zhang Lu touched the car and looked at Chu Xia with special admiration: "Aunt, you are so amazing! My father can't even drive a sedan."

She looked at Cen Huaian with envy: He has a mother like Chu Xia who can drive, so handsome!

Cen Huaian was also very proud, his mother is really amazing!

Not only Zhang Lu's mother, but also the parents of other people in the family compound are not as amazing as his mother!

Chu Xia laughed happily and ruffled Zhang Lu's hair: "If your parents want to learn, they can learn too. Driving is not difficult."

Zhang Lu immediately asked: "Then aunt, can I learn too?"

"Yes." Chu Xia nodded affirmatively: "But you can only learn after you are eighteen years old."

Zhang Lu's eyes lit up instantly. Her sixteenth birthday has passed. Next year, she will be seventeen, and as soon as she passes her birthday the year after that, she can learn to drive!

The day when she can drive is just around the corner.

At this moment, Zhang Lu no longer envied Cen Huaian. He laughed and patted him and said: "An An, you are still more than five years away from eighteen years old. When I learn to drive, I will take you out to play."

Cen Huaian: Suddenly he was not so happy.

Jiang Weixi liked the white car very much. She circled the car with her small round body, and standing in front of the early summer, she asked in a baby voice: "Auntie, can I take a ride in the car?" "

Of course!"

Chuxia opened the car door for her to sit in and play. She also said to the other children: "You can all get in the car to play. Be careful when closing the door, don't squeeze your hands."

Zhang Lu and Jiang Weixian also got in, and she also pulled Cen Huaian in with them. Chuxia and

a few adults went in first with their things.

As a result, they saw Jiang Ershu's family in the living room. Jiang Ershu and Zhou Huaying didn't look very good, but the atmosphere of the others talking was very good.

Chuxia didn't pay attention to Jiang Ershu and the others. After greeting them one by one, she handed the things she brought to Aunt Li to put away.

"Da Zi, did Zhiyi tell you when she was coming back?"

When Jiang Ershu saw Jiang Zhida, his eyes lit up and he asked anxiously.

He and Zhou Huaying hadn't seen their daughter for a year and a half, and they seldom called each other. Sometimes, when he called, no one answered. Jiang Zhiyi was busier in Guangzhou than they were at work.

Jiang Zhida couldn't hide it anymore. The casual smile on his face disappeared. He scratched his hair with a headache and said, "Uncle, Zhiyi said she won't come back for the New Year this year."

"Not coming back again?" Zhou Huaying's brows furrowed suddenly, with anger on her face: "I think she has really become wild outside and doesn't even want a home anymore. Dazi, where is she in Yangcheng now?"

Jiang Zhida didn't say anything, and said other words to comfort Zhou Huaying: "Aunt, Zhiyi has a job in Yangcheng, and she is busy during the New Year."

Zhou Huaying didn't believe what Jiang Zhida said at all: "What kind of job can be so busy that she doesn't come back once a year, and doesn't even have time to go home for the New Year?"

Jiang Zhida: "Reporter."

These words made Zhou Huaying so angry that her chest kept heaving, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Jiang's second uncle sighed and said softly to Jiang Zhida: "Da Zi, tell Zhiyi that if she wants to be a reporter, she can do it. We won't force her to do things she doesn't like. Let her come back for the New Year. It's not good for a girl to stay out all the time."

Jiang Zhida: "Uncle, Zhiyi is fine. She lives near my factory and does a job she likes. She is very happy every day."

Jiang's second uncle: He is unhappy, and even feels more upset. Zhou Huaying's face also looks worse.

"Dad, please help persuade Zhiyi. She can't stay out all the time and not come back, right?" Jiang's second uncle really has no choice but to turn to Jiang's grandfather for help.

Grandpa Jiang was just asking Cen Huaian about his recent Go learning, whether he practiced every day, and whether he encountered any problems, when he heard Uncle Jiang's words.

"I won't persuade her. When you really don't want to force her anymore, she will feel it and come back on her own."

Grandpa Jiang himself couldn't stand Uncle Jiang and his wife forcing their children to study, and they forced the children to go to Guangzhou, so of course he helped Jiang Zhiyi.

At this time, several children ran in from outside. As soon as they entered the living room, Jiang Weixi said loudly to Jiang Zhishu and Luo Peng: "Dad! Mom! Auntie's car is so beautiful and so comfortable to sit in!"

Luo Peng looked at Chu Xia curiously and surprised: "Did you buy a car?"

She knew that Chu Xia didn't seem to be doing business, but she had shares in Jiang Zhida's factory and entertainment venue, and also in Jiang Zhishu's pharmaceutical company. She was not short of money, so it was normal for her to buy a car.

"Yes, I asked Dazi to help me buy it in Yangcheng."

Jiang's second uncle and his family looked at Chu Xia in shock. They couldn't believe that the car was so expensive. How could Chu Xia suddenly buy one?

They didn't know about Chu Xia's shares. Even Jiang's eldest uncle didn't know very well, let alone others.

Grandpa Jiang was not surprised by this, but he was surprised that Chuxia would buy it so quickly.

Jiang Zhiguan was originally sitting next to Chuxia and Luo Peng, leisurely eating melon seeds and watching TV. When he heard that she had a car, he turned his head instantly, his eyes widened with shock, just like Zhang Lu when she was outside. At first glance, they were mother and daughter.

She stood up: "Chuxia, I have to go see your car. You are really amazing. You even bought a car!"

As she said that, she raised her feet and ran out. Chuxia and Luo Peng hurriedly followed her. The others looked at each other, stood up and walked out.

When Jiang Zhiguan ran outside, she saw the white car. The smooth shape and beautiful color made her particularly excited.

"Chuxia, how much is your car?"

Chuxia compared numbers, and Jiang Zhiguan immediately covered his heart and shook his head and said, "No, no, it's too expensive, I can't afford it."

She immediately gave up the idea of ​​buying a car. A few tens of thousands of dollars, even if they sold their family, they wouldn't have enough.

Luo Peng looked at the car, his eyes showing his thoughts.

Grandpa Jiang and Uncle Jiang also came out. When they saw the car, Uncle Jiang showed surprise on his face, but Zhou Huaying didn't think it was a big deal. It's not like she had never ridden in a car before, and Uncle Jiang could also drive the car of his unit. Jiang

Zhiguan wanted to experience the feeling of riding in a car, so he asked Chuxia if he could take her out for a ride.

"Just one ride, we can be back soon."

"Sure." Chuxia hooked her finger on the key and shook it, then turned around and asked the children who followed her out.

"An'an, Lulu, Xixi, Weixian, are you guys coming with us?"

"Yes!"

Chuxia asked, and they quickly agreed.

A car can only seat five people, but Xixi is still young, and the children are thin, so Jiang Zhiguan sat as the co-pilot, and the children squeezed in at the back.

Chuxia started the car skillfully, and several children put their fingers on the backs of the two front seats, exclaiming "Wow wow wow!" repeatedly, which made Chuxia's smile on her face never fall.

The car drove out, and Chuxia took Jiang Zhiguan and the children for a long ride before coming back. Everyone in the car looked very satisfied.

"Chuxia, this car is really nice. It's a pity that I can't afford it, otherwise I would definitely buy one!"

Jiang Zhiguan knew her own limitations. She didn't have the brains to do business. If she went out to set up a stall, she would probably get into a fight with someone over a disagreement. So she was just envious for a moment, and thought it was impossible, so she forgot about it.

Jiang Weixian's mother, however, looked at the car with a complicated look in her eyes.

The next topic naturally revolved around Chuxia's car, and Jiang Dajiu and Yang Mei praised Chuxia even more.

Yang Mei also teased Cen Zhengnian: "Your family has a car because of your wife. If you are not nice to Chu Xia in the future, she will drive away with An An and you won't be able to catch up with her."

Cen Zhengnian gave the peeled orange in his hand to Chu Xia and said, "Yes, so I have the lowest status in the family now."

Everyone laughed.

But Cen Zhengnian was indeed afraid that he had not done well enough. Chuxia could live a better life without him, but he could not. Without Chuxia and An'an, he might not even be able to continue his work, and he would be living a life worse than death.

Thinking of this possibility, Cen Zhengnian's heart felt like it was being stabbed by thousands of needles. He quickly stopped thinking about it, lowered his head and picked up an orange. His bony fingers fell on the orange peel, and he continued to peel the orange for Chuxia slowly.

"Chuxia, do you think it's okay for me to learn to drive?"

After dinner, the children went to take a nap, and Uncle Jiang's family left. The others had not left yet. Luo Peng sat next to Chuxia and asked her in a low voice.

The cool way Chuxia drove just now made Luo Peng's heart beat violently, and she suddenly had the urge to drive.

"Of course you can!" Chu Xia nodded immediately, with an encouraging smile on her face: "Driving is very simple, you just need to be brave and careful. Cousin, let your cousin take you to practice driving and you will understand."

Jiang Zhishu has his own car and the company also has a car, so it is not difficult for Luo Peng to practice driving.

Luo Peng is still a little unconfident. She has never thought that she can drive a car. When she goes out, she is either picked up by Jiang Zhishu or the company's driver, or she takes the bus.

"Really? I think your driving is very complicated."

Chuxia: "It's not complicated. You practice a few times and you will learn it. It's very simple. If you want to learn, go ahead and learn. While you are still young, try different experiences."

Hearing this, Luo Peng suddenly got the courage: "You are right. I should try new experiences. I will ask Zhishu to teach me when I go back today."

Chuxia didn't know how Luo Peng practiced, but when eating the New Year's Eve dinner at Grandpa Jiang's house, Luo Peng's face was radiant.

When she saw Chuxia, her eyes lit up. When Chuxia sat next to her, she said with joy: "I have learned to drive. When I get my driver's license, I can drive too!"

"Congratulations, cousin." Chuxia was really happy for her.

Luo Peng touched her hair a little embarrassedly and said, "Actually, when I first started learning, I stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. Fortunately, Zhishu released the accelerator in advance, otherwise the car would have crashed into the wall that day."

Speaking of Luo Peng's experience in learning to drive, it was really difficult. She was mainly timid and couldn't let go. She was easily nervous when learning, and she would make mistakes.

But Zhishu Jiang never got angry or impatient. Every night after dinner, the first thing he did was to teach her how to drive, and patiently corrected her mistakes over and over again.

Luo Peng's self-confidence gradually built up, and she gradually became less nervous when sitting in the car, and she learned to drive.

Of course, Chuxia didn't know these details, but she could guess it when she saw the sweet smile on Luo Peng's face.

Chuxia felt guilty for not going to the northwest during the Spring Festival this year, so she sent a lot of things to Jiang Shengnan and Cen's father, all of which were available in Beijing but not in the northwest. There was

also a family photo taken at Jiang's grandfather's house during the New Year's Eve dinner.

Holding the photo, Jiang Shengnan had never been more aware than at this moment that her father had grown old, his face was full of wrinkles, and his hair was completely white.

Jiang Shengnan tightly pinched a corner of the photo, and could not control the sourness in her eyes.

Father Cen understood her feelings, raised his hands and held her in his arms, sighed and said: "I'm sorry, if it wasn't for me..."

"Don't say that." Jiang Shengnan wiped her eyes and said: "This is also my own choice. Fortunately, we can retire this year."

In fact, according to the statutory retirement age stipulated by the state, Jiang Shengnan could have retired a few years ago.

But she is the same age as Father Cen, and Father Cen can only retire at the age of 60. If she leaves the army, Father Cen will have no one to take care of him.

The younger generation is not around, and if she doesn't accompany Father Cen, he will really become a lonely person, all alone in the northwest.

After retirement, the two are going to return to Beijing. Jiang Shengnan is going to spend the next time with Grandpa Jiang and fulfill her filial piety.

As a daughter, she really feels guilty towards her father.

The two talked about their life after retirement, and Cen Zhishi and Xiwang were also talking about this.

Xiwang sat in the bedroom, frowning, and whispered to Cen Zhengshi: "Your father is going to retire this year. If we don't ask him for help, we will really have to rely on ourselves in the future."

Everyone knows that no matter how powerful a person is in the unit, once he retires and has no real power, he will have nothing, not to mention the younger generation. Moreover

, Xiwang complained about the fact that every summer vacation, the Cen fathers forced Cen Huai Ze and Cen Huai Xin to go to their place for military training.

Although the two children have changed a lot now, and they are completely different from their previous ignorant appearance. But every time they come back, Xiwang feels distressed when he sees their dark and thin appearance.

Cen Zhengshi didn't know what Xiwang was thinking. He was very happy about the changes in his two children. If possible, who would want their children to go astray?

Cen Zhengshi didn't care as much as Xiwang when he heard what she said. He understood his parents' personalities better than Xiwang did.

"My dad has helped me once. I will work steadily and steadily from now on. It will be no problem for me to get promoted on my own. Don't always think about relying on my dad."

Xiwang pinched him angrily: "Who am I worrying about this for, and you don't appreciate it. There is a big difference between having someone to help and not having someone to help."

"My dad can't help." Cen Zhengshi said directly: "I don't want to ask my dad for help anymore."

He has a man's self-esteem. At this age, he is not incompetent. What's the point of asking elders for help every time?

"Alright, alright, stop thinking about it and go to sleep."

"Even if we don't work, can we let them help take care of Xiaoze and Xinxin? Look at the house we live in and the school they go to."

Cen Zhengshi: "You want my parents to give you money?"

Xiwang nodded: "They are all their grandchildren, they can't just love An'an."

Cen Zhengshi frowned: "It's not like our family is short of that money."

"Why not?" Xiwang calculated for him. The family's food, clothing, and two children's schooling all cost money.

Cen Zhengshi was so sleepy that he didn't want to listen to her talk about this: "Okay, okay, if we are short of money, we will work hard to make money, you can give less to your parents."

If Xiwang hadn't often given subsidies to her parents, there wouldn't be so little money left in the family. Cen Zhengshi didn't care about the family, but it didn't mean he didn't know anything.

"Anyway, don't have any ideas about my parents. I feel ashamed to rely on old people at such an old age."

Cen Zhengshi's words made Xiwang very angry, and he slapped him twice: "Cen Zhengshi, you have no conscience to say that..."

Cen Zhengshi didn't sleep well that night.

He definitely wouldn't ask his parents for money, but Xiwang thought about it and felt that Father Cen and Jiang Shengnan had given all the things to Cen Huaian, so she still called Jiang Shengnan.

After hanging up the phone with Xiwang, Jiang Shengnan's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and she sat there sighing.

Father Cen: "What did she say? You don't have to listen to what she said, it will only make you angry."

"She wanted to ask us for money and things."

Father Cen slammed the table angrily: "No!"

This daughter-in-law was really a failure, but his son fell in love with her at the beginning.

At that time, Xiwang was beautiful, fashionable, and well-dressed. She seemed gentle and generous. How could she become like this after marriage?

Maybe they never saw what kind of person she was.

"She thinks it's unfair, that we don't treat each other equally." "

What has she given us during the holidays? Listen to me, don't
