Mr. Yu stood aside and directed Chen Nan: "Oh, the horizontal batch is wrong, the left side is higher, yes, yes... just right!"
While smiling, he said to the old neighbor beside him: "I won't celebrate the New Year here this year. I posted it in advance."
The old man squinted his eyes and smiled: "Oh? These two are..."
Yu Mei smiled and said: "Apprentice, and my apprentice's wife."
"I'm going to my apprentice's house to celebrate the New Year this year."
The old man smiled and said: "That's fine, I don't want you to be alone at home."
"Do you want me to arrange for a janitor?"
When Yu Mei heard this, she waved her hand: "No, someone from the company is here."
"But, Lao Liu, are you celebrating the New Year here this year?"
When the old man heard this, he nodded: "Well, a big family will come here this year. There are many rooms here."
"Hey, this young man looks familiar to me."
Yu Mei introduced: "Been on TV, Chen Nan!"
When Lao Liu heard this, he immediately became happy: "Oh, let me tell you, it's Chen Nan, no wonder he can raise this red flag."
Chen Nan jumped down from the stool: "Hello, I am Chen Nan."
Old Liu stood up from his horse and shook hands with Chen Nan: "I heard Mu Hai say you, young man, you're doing well."
"But you can just pick him up, Master Yu."
"You can go to my house to beg for wine and food during the Chinese New Year."
"Hahaha……"
Yu Mei couldn't help but glare at the other party: "You old guy, you are greedy and want to drink my wine."
After a conversation, the two burst into laughter.
Old Liu continued: "I have lived here for fifteen years and am waiting for you to come back. To be honest, I really miss your wine."
Lao Yu smiled and said: "No need to read, I will get you a few bottles."
Lao Liu quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, no, no, in this drinking, people are the best. It's only when you find the right person to drink that you can enjoy it."
"There are more security guards here this year, so there is no need to worry about safety."
Lao Yu nodded: "With you here, I am really at ease."
After posting the door, Shang Chaoyan helped Yu Mei into the yard, while Chen Nan followed him in with his things.
"Grandpa Yu, I look at this person and he looks a little familiar?"
Yu Mei smiled: "You must look familiar. The one in the primary school text is his father!"
After hearing this, Chen Nan was stunned for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but said in surprise...
"The one from Dabie Mountain?!"
Yu Mei smiled slightly: "Besides him, who else?"
Shang Chaoyan also covered his mouth: "Oh my God!"
"This world is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"
"You won't be able to... dare to speak loudly when you come here from now on?"
Yu Mei also laughed: "It's not that exaggerated, everyone is very nice."
"Just be normal."
After returning to the house and locking the door, Yu Mei asked Chen Nan to put some valuables in a secret basement at home.
After coming down, Chen Nan truly understood what it means to have seen the world!
"I spent a lot of money to build this, and there are no problems with the security facilities."
"For this purpose, I also formed a security company."
"Get these bottles of wine, and... I have to pick out some pieces of jade."
"I heard that your brother's baby is about to be born, right?"
"That's right, let's bring a safety lock to the doll too."
Chen Nan smiled awkwardly: "No, no!"
"It's too expensive, Master."
Yu Mei frowned and glared at Chen Nan: "Expensive?"
"Hehe... Ouch!"
"Who do you think I would give these things to after I die?"
"Isn't it all yours?"
"Hey...you said that I have been running around all my life, but in the end, I found out that I was making a wedding dress for you, a bastard."
"Are you already feeling sorry for your things?"
Chen Nan immediately couldn't laugh or cry: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Yu Mei walked around and suddenly opened a box, which was densely packed with various jade stones randomly placed.
He picked up a few, took them out and put them in his pocket: "Well, these are the ones!"
"To be honest, Miss Chaoyan is nice and has a good personality."
"With this appearance, in our old words, she meets the standard for selecting a concubine!"
"You know, right?"
"Do you think the emperor only chooses his concubines based on their looks? You're wrong!"
"That sect is full of talented people. In addition to your family appearance, the selection also depends on whether you have the appearance of a prosperous and prosperous husband."
"This Chao Yan, in ancient times, how could you have had your turn!"
"Don't think you are of ordinary origin, but your destiny is actually good, and... I'm thinking that you two will have more sons than daughters in the future."
"I am also proficient in physiognomy, have profound blessings, and can deceive my descendants."
"Treat other girls well!"
Yu Mei walked, panted, and talked. She was chattering endlessly, but... she felt very comfortable inside.
It seems that the accumulated depression in my heart has been dissipated a lot.
After choosing for a long time, Yu Mei finally packed it up.
Chen Nan looked at this pile of things and couldn't laugh or cry.
Although it is only a drop in the iceberg in the basement, taking it out is enough to shock the world. Those precious items and original works of famous artists are placed casually and cannot be seen at all.
Leave the basement and come out.
Lao Yu Lao's face turned red!
Chen Nan was stunned for a moment and then noticed...
Shang Chaoyan was washing clothes.
There is a rope in the room, and it is already covered with Yu Mei's usual clothes, as well as... socks and underwear...
"Grandpa Yu, we have been going out for a few days. I have packed and packed my clothes for you."
"I'll wash some of the old ones for you and hang them in the room. I'll clean them up for you when you get back, so you don't have to bother."
"Oh, your sweatshirt has holes in it. I've been looking for it, but I haven't found any new clothes. Let's go back and I'll take you to buy new clothes."
"From now on, you really have to live with us!"
"A person can't take care of himself..."
As Shang Chaoyan spoke, his eyebrows and nose became sour, and his eyes became a little red.
to be honest……
This was the first time in decades that he felt warm.
Such a prodigal son who came from a wealthy family and lived a carefree life felt an unprecedented sense of "home" here.
After packing his things, Shang Chaoyan put a layer of sheets on the bed to avoid dust.
Then I started to pack my things and put them in the car.
After all the busy work, it was already noon.
I was about to go out for a casual meal when I saw Mr. Liu when I went out.
"Are you leaving?"
"You haven't eaten yet?"
"Go to my house and have something to eat."
"Let's go!"
Yu Mei also smiled: "Let's go!"
The lunch meal was very simple, home-cooked food prepared by the chef. Because I had to drive, I didn’t drink.
Even before leaving, Mr. Liu took care of the security guard and stuffed a box of wine and a few cartons of cigarettes into Chen Nan's trunk.
Chen Nan was also dumbfounded.
Looking at the huge trunk that was now full, he felt like he was being robbed.
…
The car was driving on the highway, and Chen Nan drove very smoothly.
Shang Chaoyan and Yu Mei were sitting in the back row, and they seemed to have endless topics to talk about.
From time to time bursts of laughter erupted.
Warm, harmonious and extremely cheerful.
Chen Nan was not in a hurry and rested several times in the service area.
It wasn't until the sun set in the evening that we arrived at the village, a journey of more than five hours.
This year’s Chinese New Year is at my hometown as usual.
The Chen family's house is relatively large, and I had already greeted them before arriving, so Chen Wenyin naturally tidied up a clean room.
The sheets and bedding are all brand new.
After Mr. Yu got off the bus, he was a little embarrassed at first.
However, it didn't take long for me to get used to it.
After all, the Chen family has a carefree personality and respects Chen Nan's mentor.
In the evening, the two families had dinner together.
The Chen family's yard was renovated this year. An automated shed was built in the yard and a large stove was built.
In the evening, everyone simply ate in the courtyard, which was spacious and lively.
What's more, it's very warm in the yard!
You can even see the moon and stars in the sky when you look up.
After everyone drank some wine, Chen Jinhe also got drunk and insisted on dragging Yu Mei to recognize his godfather.
"Lao Yu, don't worry!"
"From now on, you can feel free to live with us."
"Chen Nan calls you grandpa, and we will take care of you in your old age."
Yu Mei smiled and burst into tears.
At his level, there is never a shortage of godsons and goddaughters sent to him, but Mr. Yu, who has met countless people, can naturally tell them apart.
He can also feel and understand the Chen family's enthusiasm and sincerity.
And Chen Jinhe
it's not finished yet!
After drinking, he took Shang Chaoyan's father's hand and said, "Old Shang!"
"You said, these two kids went around and got together again!"
"You see, today is also a good day."
"How about we get engaged?"
The old businessman also drank a lot, but as someone who owns a restaurant, he usually drinks a lot, but Chen Jinhe can't compare to it.
My mind is very clear now!
He patted his thigh and said, "Uncle Chen saved this girl's life and watched her grow up."
"At that time, I will let you arrange a baby kiss."
"I tell you, this girl can't enter anyone's door."
"I can only enter your Chen family."
"I'm going to marry Chen Nan!"
"I said!"
"You don't have to pay a penny for the bride price."
"I will also give you a house as a dowry for you and your wife."
"You, Old Chen, are rich, but...you can't underestimate my girl!"
"Also, Chen Nan..."
When Yu Mei heard this, she also slapped the table and made a decision: "I make the decision."
"Chen Nan, you kid, if you bully Chaoyan in the future, I will settle the score with you!"
As the parties involved, Chen Nan and Shang Chaoyan were dumbfounded.
It's a nice meal.
Why did it become an engagement party?
Chen An and Song Simei sat aside, smiling and watching this scene with Shang Chaoyan's brother and sister-in-law. They didn't say anything, but instead chatted with each other.
"How many months has it been?"
"Eight months!"
"Oh, you should walk more during this period. It will be easy then. But after eight months, every day will be difficult. Chen An, you should be more worried. At this time, although it is said to be safe, it can be dangerous at any time.
possible."
Chen An smiled and nodded: "Yes, I know."
"No, I'm not going to work there anymore. I'll stay in Yuancheng until I have the baby and I'm stable."
"Yes, this is a big deal, your children are your future!"
…
It was around ten o'clock in the evening.
Old Shang also drank too much, hugging Chen Jinhe and talking drunkenly.
Chen Jinhe drank so much that he dared to call Chen Nan a brother-in-law. He was a weakling.
The two cried and complained about the difficulty of so many years.
Chen Wenyin took Shang Chaoyan's mother and laughed and talked about interesting things about the two children when they were young, bursting out bursts of laughter from time to time.
The brothers and sisters-in-law on both sides were chatting happily, talking about their children.
This was the first time Yu Mei had participated in such a big family. Her eyes were flickering, but her heart felt warm and down-to-earth. It was a feeling that was different from before, as if... it had taken root.
It's very quiet at night in winter.
The charcoal fire in the stove is very strong and the burning is very warm.
Watching everyone chatting, listening to laughter, and feeling the warmth of home.
Maybe this is what it feels like to truly be alive?
On the side, Shang Chaoyan's little niece looked at a group of people alone, feeling very bored.
Seeing Yu Mei sitting there alone, she smiled and slipped over.
"Grandpa, are you crying?"
Yu Mei was stunned and wiped the corners of her eyes: "No, there is sand in my eyes."
The little niece looked at Yu Mei with a sly expression: "Humph, you're lying, that's what's written in the TV series!"
"Hahahaha..." Yu Mei couldn't help laughing.
The little niece took out a piece of paper, wiped Yu Mei's eyes, then grabbed his hand and said, "The teacher said, it's natural for children to cry."
"Adults actually work very hard and are very tired."
"Grandpa, you must be lonely. It's okay."
"I'll accompany you!"
"By the way, let me tell you a story..."
Pulling Yu Mei, the old man and the young man had known each other for years, and actually started chatting.
Chen Nan and Shang Chaoyan saw everyone chatting here, but no one paid attention to them.
Shang Chaoyan winked at Chen Nan, left the yard and walked outside the gate.
Chen Nan picked up the clothes hanging on the wall and naturally followed them out.
The leaves rustle.
The moon hangs high in the sky.
It's just a little cold.
It has not started snowing in Yuancheng this year.
Shang Chaoyan jumped up, sat on the bluestone, and said with a smile: "Come, sit next to me."
"hurry up!"
"It's cold!"
Chen Nan smiled and sat down next to Shang Chaoyan.
The other party took advantage of the situation and lay his head on Chen Nan's shoulder.
The two of them just looked at the sky and the hospital quietly without speaking.
After a long time, Shang Chaoyan suddenly smiled.
"I feel so happy!"
After saying that, he tilted his head and looked at Chen Nan with wide eyes.
Chen Nan smiled, put his arms around each other, and nodded: "Yes!"
As he spoke, he lightly stamped Shang Chaoyan's face.
It made the other person feel shy.
Although the two have already established a relationship during this time.
But... such sweet moments are rare.
"We're going to keep doing this, right?"
After a long time in Shang Dynasty, Yan suddenly said something.
Chen Nan shook his head: "It depends on whether you dislike me or not!"
"Ahhhhh..."
"Are you a romantic person?"
"I hate you so much now!"
Chen Nan laughed.
Look at the depth of the sky.
Feel the warmth of the people around you.
Listening to the laughter in the yard.
Perhaps, happiness is that simple.
How I wish this moment could last forever...
…
…
The next day, it was the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month.
On this day, some old friends came to the Chen family.
Chen Nan woke up relatively late and slept until he woke up naturally, which was still very comfortable.
Chen Jinhe did not have such a good fortune, so he got up early in the morning to clean up the things in the yard, and then started to turn on the stove.
The whole person looked disgraced.
Mr. Yu obviously drank too much last night and was tired. He just got up now, wearing his training clothes and sitting in the yard drinking porridge.
After Chen Nan came out, he saw Zhuang Xun and Xiao Tongfu squatting in the corner, looking at several wine bottles.
"Old Chen, you guys are...unkind!"
"This wine...you drank four bottles in one night?"
"Oh my god, I can buy a house here."
Chen Jinhe was also stunned for a moment: "Why is wine so expensive?"
"Nonsense."
At this time, Xiao Tongfu clicked his tongue and shook his head: "This is not about money, okay?"
"This stuff can't leak out at all."
"We may not even have the chance to get the top spot in Jin Province."
"You have four or five bottles a night."
"Hey... I feel so sad."
"There's still some left in this bottle, it's a waste..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Nan also walked out: "Uncle Zhuang, Uncle Xiao, hello, you came here so early."
Zhuang Xun nodded: "Let me just say, you must have gotten it."
"Otherwise, can I drink this wine?"
"Oh, no, no, no..."
"Old Xiao, look at this bottle of wine, good guy... Why does this bottle look so like one from the Song Dynasty?"
"Old Chen, what kind of wine did you put in such a good wine bottle?"
Xiao Tongfu quickly picked up the bottle carefully, feeling heartbroken.
Yu Mei looked at the two of them and couldn't help but smile slightly.
At this time, Xiao Tongfu suddenly saw Yu Mei, rubbed his eyes, and walked over with some fear.
"Yu...Yu Lao?!"
"You are Mr. Yu!"
"Why are you here?"
Chen Jinhe said naturally: "Ah, my godfather, why can't he be here?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tongfu smiled bitterly: "Lao Chen, hurry up and pack this wine bottle!"
"You are the only person in the world who can use this bottle to hold wine!"
"A serious guy from the Song Dynasty."
Yu Mei smiled: "Are you a child of the Xiao family?"
"Do you know Jin He?"
Xiao Tongfu nodded excitedly: "Yes, Mr. Yu, Mr. Chen and I are good friends and partners."
Yu Mei nodded: "Yeah, okay."
Then he got dressed and took the bowl to the kitchen. He put on his clothes and said, "You guys chat, I'll go out for a walk."
Shang Chaoyan walked in at this time: "Grandpa Yu, I will take you there."
After Mr. Yu left, the two men's eyes widened: "Old Chen, when did you recognize your godfather?"
"How can you imitate Gao Qiqiang?!"
Chen Jinhe's mouth twitched: "Gao Qiqiang? What kind of class is he? He also considers himself a godfather like me!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
There is no way, your son is the richest man, you are amazing!
OK?
When Mr. Yu came, the two of them didn't stay too long. They were embarrassed to disturb the old man, so they left.
During the Chinese New Year in the village, there is a bit more fireworks than in the city.
After Shang Chaoyan came back, he took Chen Nan to Yuanyuan City.
The two of them bought Mr. Yu a new set of clothes for the New Year. They also gave him a haircut and trimmed his eyebrows and beard.
Mr. Yu was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
I even can’t wait to celebrate the New Year.
They say old age regresses to youth, but this is actually the case.
Because the elderly are just like children. When people grow old, they will also feel insecure.
And this year is Yu Mei’s happiest year.
On the night of his thirties, Chen Jinhe was so wealthy that he even organized a fireworks show.
Lying on the deck chair in the yard, you can see clearly.
These past few days, Yu Mei’s life has been very moist.
And on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, when New Year greetings begin.
Mr. Yu sat at the head of the table, and everyone paid New Year's greetings in turn.
The happy Yu Mei is smiling happily.
It's no problem to take action.
Originally, I brought a lot of good things when I came here this time.
Mr. Yu naturally made everyone a little bit.
Even Song Simei's unborn child received his first New Year's money in his life.
What's interesting is that when Yu Mei pushed a piece of safety lock to Song Simei, the belly of the baby was kicked and bulged.
It made everyone laugh.
The little guy is also joining in the fun.
On this first day of junior high school, I thought no one would come.
But Yu Mei's arrival attracted many people.
Many people from the Xiao family came here to wish Yu Mei New Year's greetings.
However, Mr. Yu didn't give him anything this time.
Rules are rules.
Etiquette is etiquette.
The Xiao family can be regarded as everyone, but in front of Yu Mei, they are not enough.
It turns out that the elders of the Xiao family are from Grandpa Yu Mei’s house.
Later, after the Xiao family left, they became a famous big businessman at that time with the help of Grandpa Mei.
Although Yu Mei seems to be alone now, his influence and identity are not small.
After the excitement, Chen Nan's house was filled with a lot of good things.
However, after the first grade of junior high school, something important happened.
After finding a good day, Chen Jinhe took Chen Nan and Shang Chaoyan were officially engaged.
The wedding date is set for May 2 this year.
With this, Chen Nan is finally settling down.
The New Year's Eve time always flies in such a hurry.
Soon, a few days passed.
Chen Nan is about to embark on his journey back to Beijing.
However, Mr. Yu has been smiling happily these days, but he looks a year younger.
Even Yu Mei, who never bothered to show off.
This year, for the first time, I had video chats with several of Chen Nan’s teachers.
It made many old guys disgusted and happy.
We are all old friends for decades.
Now I am very happy to see Yu Mei with such appearance and mentality.
Let’s meet again when we return to the capital!
…
…
Although Chen Nan has been very free these days, he has been paying attention to one thing.
That's what Milo said about hepatitis E from the World Health Organization.
The peak season for hepatitis E is spring.
And this winter is not very cold.
Judging from the solar terms this year, it seems that the situation may be a little more serious.
Chen Nan had to keep in touch in his free time.
On this day, Chen Nan just came back.
Ge Yerong called.
"Chen Nan, come to the hospital quickly."
"We received a call here from Director Qin of the National Health Commission, asking us to prepare for support!"
When Chen Nan heard this, his expression suddenly changed: "Is it hepatitis E?!"
Ge Yerong nodded: "It should be right!"
"India broke out first."
"Now, some patients have been sent to the hospital."
…
ps: Thank you to the leader of the "Regardless" alliance leader for the generous reward of 10,000, thank you.
I would also like to thank my old friend "Shangren Yijie" for his generous reward of 1,500.
