Chapter 205: Three Years of Separation

Qiaojia Village is a real family village. It is not just a village. There are people with the surname Qiao in several nearby villages. Over the past few decades, people in the villages in this valley have no pressure to establish some kinship when they meet.

Chen Hao does not have a clear impression of his grandparents, probably because the old people have many grandchildren and daughters, and they are simply too rare to take care of them. The impression they left on Chen Hao is basically the image of two people sitting in the first seat when dozens of people gather together.

There is only one small passenger car every day, and the traffic that cannot reach the entrance of the village makes this place look a bit barren. When four cars roar into the village, many people will pay attention and salute, wondering whose relatives are coming. Four cars came at once. There has been nothing big in the village recently?

"Grandma, grandpa, second uncle, third uncle..."

After getting off the car, Ma Defu, Chen Hao, and Chen Yu began to greet everyone. In addition to the deceased uncle, the second uncle, the third uncle, the fourth uncle, the fifth uncle, the old uncle, and the second aunt were all there, including the aunt. It took a minute just to greet them. For a son-in-law like Ma Defu, it took a lot of brain cells just to recognize the whole family.

A pure farming family, during the slack season, they are all at home. It is also the end of the year, and there is no going out to work. Therefore, Chen Yuanping's pig slaughtering reception this time, these relatives at home are all there, and some aunts with their children at home also get on the car to go to Lianquan Village. In short, there are four cars, and almost every car is loaded with six or seven people. Fortunately, these cars are relatively spacious, and the driving area is not a strictly inspected area, so there is no pressure.

"What are you going to do this time, Xiaohao?"

Sitting in Chen Hao's car, the second uncle who has been the best to them since childhood is sitting in the passenger seat, and behind him are the grandparents, the second aunt and a little grandson in her arms. As Chen Hao, he now has many nephews and nieces.

Faced with the question from his second uncle, Chen Hao smiled and said, "Second uncle, I am now an online anchor."

The second uncle was surprised: "Online anchor, is that a good profession?"

From Chen Hao's second uncle's words, we can hear the coverage of the Internet in human society and the popularity of live broadcasting.

No matter how popular it is, it has not yet been regarded as a serious profession in the countryside.

It is very popular, so popular that even the Qiao family living in remote rural areas know that online anchor is a profession, but there are doubts about whether it can make a living in the long run.

"It's OK, young people always have to try new things. You've been out there for several years. If you come back and achieve nothing, you won't have to face your parents, right?"

"Oh? That's true."

When you've been away for three days, you should look at him with new eyes. In everyone's eyes, Chen Hao's impression is still his performance four years ago. This kid is a jerk. He dares to do anything when he's impulsive. It's hard to say if he kills or sets fires, but if you talk about brandishing knives and guns, this kid is a daredevil. Such people are not unwelcome in the countryside. In the countryside with a tough folk custom, people don't like those kids who can't do anything. These uncles still value Chen Hao very much. Today's short sentence has changed the inherent view of the people in the car. This little Hao has been in the capital for a few years and is different.

"This car is pretty good. Is it all from your village? Now that your father is the director, it's different." The second aunt said with envy.

"Hehe, second aunt, this car is mine, my sister drives hers, my eldest brother-in-law drives a newly bought one, and the one driven by my friend is bought for my dad. He hasn't got his driver's license yet. If my mom hadn't stopped him, he would have driven over."

"What, these cars are all yours?" Grandpa asked in surprise.

"Yes, Grandpa, they're all newly bought."

With doubt, disbelief and shock, I went all the way to Chen's house. Before entering the courtyard, the changes to Chen's family had already begun to affect the Qiao family. There are now many cars parked along one side of the village road. As the village director, many relationships are different. What's more, Chen Yuanping is not short of money now. He dares to speak and act when making friends. In just two or three months, he has already had quite good connections, and some of the relationships in the past few decades have also been picked up. Inside and outside the courtyard, it is also a symbol of face in the surrounding villages.

Chen Yuanping entertained the guests, and the cigarettes he took out were all hard Zhonghua. This was not a matter of doing things, and there was no such thing as putting cigarettes on every table. Comrade Chen used Zhonghua cigarettes to show off his face, and the specifications of the whole pig and cattle slaughtering banquet were raised a little.

Chen Hao and his sister smiled slightly at their father's slightly showy temper. It is hard to buy parents' happiness. Today is the day for the father to be happy, and today is the day for the mother to be happy. After getting off the car, the whole family of the Qiao family was invited to the east room. Most of the direct relatives of the Chen family were away, and they were not summoned back this time. According to Chen Yuanping's meaning, they had to have a big gathering during the New Year.

Therefore, the Qiao family became the main guests and half the host, and it was natural for them to occupy the east room. Most of the guests were outside. Now there were four or five poker tables in the garage, and the villagers who were shouting and yelling had already played.

"Second uncle, third uncle, you smoke." Chen Hao took out a pack of Nine Five Supreme from the kang cabinet and split it to his uncle and others.

There is really an uncle who knows this cigarette. The other uncles just took it and opened it without taking it seriously. The old uncle works outside every summer and has also been to big cities. He has seen the world before. People occasionally talk about the feasting and feasting in big cities. He took the cigarette, looked up and down, and asked Chen Hao with a trace of uncertainty: "Xiao Hao, this cigarette..." In fact, he wanted to say that this cigarette was real. It was a lie. He swallowed the words and said instead: "These cigarettes are too expensive. Can you keep them for your dad to entertain guests?"

The actions of several uncles have stopped. In the past few years, uncles have been in place, but not all aunts have come. They come to eat pig meat at other people's houses, and the whole family goes there, which makes it seem like there is nothing deep in your home, even if you want to come. Those who did come were probably a representative, but those who didn't came were destined to have some regrets, because today's pig-killing dish of the Chen family was definitely the highest-level pig-killing feast they had ever had in their lives.

"Brother, take a cigarette. Is it expensive or not? Your nephew respects your uncles. One box is not enough. Old son, I saw it. Yesterday you moved several boxes into your house." It was obviously intentional to tear down his son. He was prominent in front of others and was also showing the close feeling between father and son.

"I took it with me when I left, and I divided it all."

Taking advantage of this moment, someone asked the old uncle: "Old man, are these cigarettes expensive?" They were a little disapproving when they asked, but when the old uncle told the price of 100 yuan, everyone was unpacking the cigarette boxes and preparing to take them out for smoking. All movements stopped, and there was a moment of embarrassment. I felt that it was too petty for me to put the cigarette in my pocket without opening it.

Chen Yuanping chuckled, changed the subject, and took out another box of high-quality Yellow Crane Tower from the cabinet: "Come on, let's try this cigarette. Is it good?"

Good smoke has arrived. Before the banquet started, everyone first visited the renovated Chen’s house. What they saw was so much pork and beef. After asking, they learned that this time there were five pigs and two cows. They were even more shocked. When there is a bottle of Wuliangye on the table, it really completely subverts all their understanding of the Chen family. This banquet is a first-class banquet in the city. Look at this As for the butchered pork dish, look at the braised pork. There is no worry about eating too much. It's just that everyone cares about how much they can eat. We can afford to eat as much as we want here.

Grandpa and grandpa finished their meal early, and then went down to the table with their second daughter and the youngest daughter who came from the city. They took their eldest daughter Qiao Xinmei to the only room without a table for dinner - Chen Hao's room to have a chat. There were too many They want answers to their questions.

"Xiaomei, you have confused me. Not to mention Yuanping, who has only been the village director for two months, and already..." Chen Hao's grandfather did not say the following words, and everyone could hear them. What does it mean to come out? Chen Hao's aunt also blamed her father and said: "Dad, what are you talking about? My eldest brother-in-law is not that kind of person. You don't know. This is all arranged by that kid Xiaohao. Give it to my eldest sister." , I also bought a house in the community where I live.”

"Ah, what's going on, Xiaomei, tell us..."

When Qiao Xinmei briefly introduced the situation, the whole family was dumbfounded and found it a bit unbelievable. Qiao Xinmei did not say specifically how much money her son earned, but only informed about all the changes in the family, including the cars, home decoration, and the addition of new items, including She showed the real estate deed with only her name on it to her parents and sisters. She could feel the envy from them in their constant surprises. Qiao Xinmei also felt so satisfied from the bottom of her heart. Who doesn't want to be prominent in front of others? Ah, especially in front of my family, that's not showing off, that's a mood where you can all rest assured that I'm living a good life.

"Xiao Hao, Xiao Hao earned all this?" Even though what Qiao Xinmei said was very true, it still made everyone feel a little unbelievable.

No one could believe this was true, but soon, reality told them that you really need to get to know some people again.

Shibetsu Three Years was not just a surprise, but a complete subversion. When the banquet had started and everyone was drinking and their faces were red, another guest came. It was a surprising guest. Before, there were a few in the village who thought they were playing outside. Not bad, there are also a few people from other villages. When they come here, they all feel that they are giving you Chen Yuan face. Those people you want to take with you who say they are very gangsters. When you see the people getting out of the car that stops outside, one by one Everyone had a look of surprise on their faces, and those who could strike up a conversation with the other party quickly stood up, feeling that talking to them at this time was a very honorable thing in the eyes of others...
