"Brother, are you having dinner? Hey! The second baby is back, and he doesn't want to sit with his uncle." The two uncles knew each other well, so they found a stool and sat down by themselves after they came in.
"That's right! Erwa, your aunt was still talking about you a few days ago, saying she hadn't seen you for several years!" Chen Mo's uncle also said with a smile, looking very close to her.
"What's the matter?" His father, Chen Jianguo, asked with a serious look on his face. He knew very well about the virtues of his two brothers. If there was nothing wrong, he would never come to the door to give them a smile.
Chen Mo also blocked the questions asked by his uncle and brother-in-law. The main reason was that they were not very filial. If it hadn't been for treating his grandparents a few years ago, the family would not have been in great difficulty. The tuition fees for himself and his brother were also paid by his sister and his brother.
My parents' hard-earned money, and money borrowed from my two uncles.
During the years when his grandparents were ill, Chen Mo was still in high school. During this period, he almost dropped out of school in order to treat his elder brother's illness. In this way, the uncle and his uncle were intermittently, so he gave the family a few hundred yuan for a while and didn't care about his elder brother at all.
The father, Chen Jianguo, is the eldest son of the Chen family. There is also a younger sister who is the brother of the second child's father, who is Chen Mo's aunt. However, she is married far away and it is not easy to come back. The two uncles, the uncle Chen Jianshe is the third child and the younger uncle Chen Jianmin
The fourth child lives in the same village and is not far from home.
"Haha, brother, I have something to do with you today." Uncle Chen Jianshe said.
"Say!" Father Chen Jianguo also wanted to see them.
"Isn't the village going to elect a village director? I took part in the election. I came here today to tell you, boss, so that I can support my brother when the general meeting is held to vote." Uncle Chen Jianshe said.
"Yes, boss, we are all brothers, so please support me." My uncle Chen Jianmin also continued.
Chen Mo just listened and did not interrupt, but when he heard his uncle and uncle say this, he felt a little bit grumpy in his heart. They are brothers now. When their grandparents were alive, these two people were never seen. It was really funny.
Chen Jianguo nodded and said, "How many people in the village support your election?"
"There are so many, and everyone says I have the best chance of being elected," Chen Jianshe said.
Chen Jianguo nodded, and then said: "Okay, I will vote when the time comes."
"Haha, thank you, boss." Chen Jianshe stood up with a smile. He also knew that Chen Jianguo didn't like him very much, so he said: "Well, you guys eat your food, I will leave with the third child, and there are a few other families.
I need to say hello."
Chen Jianguo nodded and watched Chen Jianshe and Chen Jianmin walking out of the house silently.
"My father, you just agreed like this? If the third child becomes the village director, he might be in trouble!" said her mother Fu Huili angrily.
"Well! I want to go, but I didn't agree to vote for him!" said his father, Chen Jianguo.
When Chen Mo and his mother heard this, they remembered that their father had just said that he was going to vote, but he did not say for whom. The mother and son looked at each other and smiled. They did not expect that Chen Jianguo had such a cunning side.
"Although they are brothers, I know what kind of people they are. But it's better not to offend them. Just go and vote. As for how to vote, we'll tell you later." Chen Jianguo also smiled.
"Dad, if there is voting in the village, how do they vote?" Chen Mo asked, having never experienced it before, but he was a little curious.
"Oh! If you're curious, just go and see it tomorrow," said his father, Chen Jianguo.
"There are still things to do tomorrow. How can I have time to join in the fun? What's the point of electing a village director? I still won't go." Chen Mo said.
"If you don't go, I won't go. But after you come back, you still have to go to your grandpa's house to visit. In addition, you also have to go to the houses of several uncles. Don't let others think you are rude." said his father Chen Jianguo.
"Sure!" After Chen Mo answered, he didn't say anything else. After coming back, he was busy with his own things and didn't really go around.
After breakfast, Chen Ming led seven workers to his home, followed by a walking tractor pulling a cart of cement, sand and tools.
Mother hurriedly greeted her and served tea and cigarettes. This is a custom in the village. If there is any work at home, water and cigarettes must be prepared. Of course, you don’t have to prepare them, but after the workers finish the work, they will say that the owner is instigating.
This is something that will be spat on behind. And with these things, the workers will work very carefully, and they will save materials that should be saved for the owners. Otherwise, if they are wasted in several places, you will not know, tea and
It’s not enough to spend all the cigarette money.
The tea and cigarettes don’t have to be very good, just ordinary ones. Yesterday Chen Mo went to the village store and bought a lot of tea and a few cartons of cigarettes. The tea cost 20 yuan a pound, which is very ordinary tea, and the cigarettes cost 50 yuan a carton.
It's not expensive, it's mainly for entertaining workers, it's not too particular.
When Chen Ming saw the water and cigarettes placed in the yard, he also smiled and said to Chen Mo: "Er baby, the ceramic tiles and paint will arrive this afternoon, and don't worry about the paint. The one we ordered is the best imported environmentally friendly paint, which is very good.
In all these years of doing engineering, I have never used such expensive paint.”
Chen Mo smiled: "When decorating a house for my parents, it's better to use better materials to save worry, otherwise I'll always feel bad."
"You've got your heart set!" Chen Ming said with a smile.
Chen Mo saw them busy measuring and leveling, so he told his parents, and then rode his motorcycle to the supermarket in the town.
I went straight to the tobacco and alcohol supermarket in the town and bought some good cigarettes and wine. These are for gifts. I will use them later when I go to my uncle's house and to relatives' houses in the village. Moreover, when the house is under construction and decoration, I will also use it as gifts.
Tobacco and alcohol were needed, but that was enough. There was no need to buy good cigarettes and alcohol, so I bought some cigarettes and ordinary liquor for ten yuan a pack, and gave them to the workers when I got back.
He didn't think of it at first, but when he saw his mother taking out cigarettes to entertain the workers in the morning, he thought of it. In addition, he thought that after he came back, he would have to visit relatives and find someone to do errands, so he bought some more.
Tobacco and alcohol. The people at the tobacco and alcohol supermarket in the town thought he was a canteen owner in the village, and even brought out some of the better tobacco and alcohol to sell to him.
Chen Mo didn't explain it and just bought it as he wanted. As a result, he spent all 20,000 yuan, and later spent thousands more.
Fortunately, he had the Qiankun Pearl, so no matter how much goods there were, there would be no problem. He asked them to bump the items into a small three-wheeled truck, pull them directly to a relatively remote place to unload them, and send them away after saying that they were waiting for someone to pick them up.
The person who carries the goods takes advantage of the fact that there is no one around and puts all the things into the Qiankun Pearl.
In addition, I called my sister in the town, greeted her, chatted a few words about home affairs, and told her that I would go home to develop my career. My sister was a little surprised, but she didn’t say much because my sister and her brother-in-law opened a business in the county town.
It was a small restaurant and it was very busy, so I didn’t say much.
After returning home, I gave some of the cigarettes and wine I bought for the workers to my mother, and then went to a shop in the village to buy some paper money, incense, and candles.
Since entering college, I have never been to my grandfather’s grave to pay homage. Master Ye Shang also wanted to pay homage, so he prepared these things. Moreover, Chen Mo also planned to go to Hulu Valley tomorrow to have a good time.
Look around the whole valley, he has a big plan in mind.
