The next morning, Wei Yang woke up and looked at the old posters of Manchester United's Beckham and Solskjaer hanging on the wall, as well as the familiar layout and facilities of the room, and he felt indescribably at ease.

This might be the feeling of coming home! After putting on his clothes, Wei Yang walked out of the bedroom. There was no one in the living room upstairs, but there was some noise downstairs. He knew that his parents had opened the door for business.

Wei Yang's home is neither in a residential area nor in a rural area, but in a street-facing store building in a town.

There are two floors and a yard. People live upstairs and the downstairs is a shop. The yard is used as needed.

Wei Yang's family is in the curtain business, custom-making and installing curtains for people, including sofa covers, bed sheets and quilt covers.

In the past two years, we have added dry cleaning services, mainly for curtains, sofa covers, and quilt covers, but we will also accept dry cleaning of clothes if suitable.

The curtain business is neither easy nor difficult, but the profit margin is acceptable. Most people these days do not have such high requirements for quality, and you can satisfy most customers by grasping a few popular fabric types and curtain styles.

The key to business still lies in the source of customers. If there are more customers in the peak season, you will earn more. If there are fewer customers in the off-season, it is common to be closed for a few days.

To put it bluntly, it is a job that depends on the weather.

In the past two years, Weishan and his wife started a dry cleaning service, in fact, they also wanted to open up a new source of fixed income, increase popularity and tap potential customers.

Thanks to this small shop, although Wei Yang's family is not rich, they live a comfortable life and have no worries about food and clothing.

Wei Yang, who was a little hungry, looked at the time, opened the door and went downstairs to eat something.

His shop is not big, only about 60 square meters per floor. There are three rooms upstairs, one large and two small, which are the living room and two bedrooms.

Several small bungalows were built in the yard downstairs, which were used as kitchens, bathrooms and toilets. Sometimes we ate in the living room upstairs, and sometimes we just set up a table in the store or in the yard.

"My son bought this, it weighs dozens of grams. Hey, I don't want it, but my son insisted on buying it out of filial piety."

"Yangyang also bought this suit in Shanghai. His father and I each have one. Old Wei was reluctant to wear it and said he would wear it during the Chinese New Year. I don't care about that. I will let my son buy another one when it's worn out."

“…”

As soon as he entered the store from the yard, Wei Yang saw Wang Yunping wearing new clothes and holding up the gold bracelet on her wrist, proudly showing it off to the owner of the children's clothing store next door.

The owner of the children's clothing store said "Sister Wang is lucky", but the smile on her face was very forced and her eyes were full of anger. Wei Yang was afraid that she would suddenly scratch his mother.

"Mom, hey, Aunt Sun, happy new year."

"Happy New Year."

The owner of the children's clothing store smiled more sincerely at Wei Yang: "I watched your TV series, it's really good. You will be a big star in the future."

"What kind of star is this? He's just trying to make a living."

Wei Yang said modestly, and when he saw his mother was about to continue speaking, he quickly changed the subject: "Mom, I'm hungry, is there any food at home?"

"Yes, I'll get it for you. Your father has gone back to the village to put up Spring Festival couplets. You stay here to look after the store. Call me if anyone comes."

"Okay."

Wei Yang was actually born in the countryside, and his family had an old house in the countryside. When Wei Shan and his wife just got married, they also lived in the village with Wei Yang's grandparents.

However, when Wei Yang was very young, the couple didn't want to farm, so they came to the street to do business. Wei Yang lived in the village with his grandparents for several years.

Later, his grandparents passed away, and as it was inconvenient for Wei Yang to go to school, his family moved completely to the street and moved their household registration here.

I seldom go back to that old house in the countryside, except to clean it during the holidays.

While Wang Yunping went to cook, Wei Yang chatted with the owner of the children's clothing store.

He is not like Wang Yunping who only cares about showing off and likes to flatter others. He praises people's youth and says that their son who is in high school will have a bright future.

After just a few words, he made the boss lady smile so happily that she even ran to the store to get him the pistachios and melon seeds that she had bought for the New Year.

As they were chatting happily, a pretty woman with shrewd eyes came to the store door on an electric bike, rushed in, and was delighted when she saw Wei Yang.

"My eldest nephew is handsome again."

Wei Yang greeted happily. The visitor was Wei Yang's aunt Wei Xia.

Wei Xia asked Wei Yang a lot of questions and even complained about her younger brother.

"Your dad is such a fool. He just called me today. Otherwise, I would have come here earlier."

Grandpa Wei and Grandma Wei have a daughter and a son. Wei Xia is the eldest daughter, a few years older than Wei Yang's father Wei Shan.

Wei Xia had a miserable life. Just a few years after their marriage, her husband had an accident and she became a widow. She returned to her parents' home alone. At that time, Wei Yang happened to live with his grandparents.

So rather than saying that Wei Yang was raised by his grandparents, it would be more accurate to say that he was raised by his aunt Wei Xia.

Later, Wei Xia remarried and settled down in the city. When Wei Yang was in high school, he went to school in the city and lived and ate at Wei Xia's home for three whole years. Although they were nominally aunt and nephew, they were no different from mother and daughter.

At least in Wei Yang's heart, Aunt Wei Xia is always in the same league as his parents...

"My elder sister is here."

Wang Yunping heard the noise, came over to check, and immediately pulled Wei Xia upstairs.

"Go and have a look, your nephew has bought you a lot of good things."

The aunt and sister-in-law went upstairs excitedly. Wei Yang could only ask the owner of the children's clothing store to help look after the store while he went to the kitchen to continue making breakfast.

When he was eating his bowl of noodles in the store, Wei Xia, who had changed into new clothes and put on a gold necklace, came downstairs happily and hugged Wei Yang and fiddled with him.

"Good boy, your aunt loves you well."

"I also bought clothes and tea for my uncle, but I didn't buy anything for my brother and sister. I don't know what they like. I will take them to the city to have a look later."

"Don't worry about them. They have everything they need."

Wei Xia was not harsh on her children. Her family conditions were much better than Wei Yang's.

She opened a restaurant, and her husband Wu Jun bought a truck with someone else. The couple earned 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a year.

In today's era, in a small city like Zaoshi, with an annual income of 200,000 or 300,000, life is very comfortable. The couple bought a house in the city a few years ago, and their two children are spoiled.

"I know you are filial, but it's not easy for you to earn money, so don't be extravagant. Buy less of these things in the future. Save the money you have and buy a house in Shanghai later."

After being happy for a while, Wei Xia began to educate Wei Yang, and Wang Yunping also belatedly agreed with Wei Xia.

"Yangyang, listen to your aunt."

Wei Xia is a shrewd and strong person. She is bold and smooth in doing things. In the Wu family, she has the final say, and in the Wei family, she can also be in charge of most of the family.

Wang Yunping and Wei Shan knew that they themselves were not smart enough, and their knowledge and abilities were not as good as their sister/sister-in-law, so they liked to ask Wei Xia for advice on all the big and small matters at home.

When Wei Yang was admitted to the China Theatre Academy through the art exam, it was actually Wei Xia who helped to inquire about and arrange things for him. Wang Yunping and her husband didn't even know where the school was.

Therefore, Wang Yunping respects her elder sister-in-law very much. She is not jealous when her son buys things for Wei Xia that are comparable to hers, and she keeps asking her son to listen to Wei Xia.

"Don't worry, I've left some money. You don't have to worry about it. Just wait for me to buy a big house in Shanghai and take it over to live in during my old age."

"I'm not going. I heard the food in the Magic City is very sweet and I can't get used to it."

"That's right, I can't understand what people in Modu say."

Wei Xia and Wang Yunping expressed disdain, but when they heard their nephew/son's pie in the sky about filial piety, they couldn't stop smiling.

The owner of the children's clothing store next door also looked envious.

Regardless of whether it can be realized or not, it is heartwarming and comforting for parents and elders to hear these words and know that their children have such thoughts…
