On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it is the same custom throughout China to go back to your parents’ home to pay New Year greetings.
The old Su family is no exception.
Unlike Su Xiaomu who bought a car for himself and made money, Su Yuan was so happy that he wanted to tell the world about it. This time, Su Yuan just laughed twice and didn't say a word.
because……
He didn't know what to say either.
Last night when I went to bed, I discussed with Cheng Qianwei whether 500 million dollars could be converted into hundred-dollar bills to fill the bedroom.
I didn't think about it in the end.
In fact, there should be a lot of dissatisfaction, because according to some research parties, even 1 billion is less than 12 cubic meters.
Therefore, even if a person with a billionaire's net worth takes out all his money and puts it in his house, he won't be very shocked.
Early in the morning on the second day of the second lunar month, Lao Su's family had eaten and packed up, and all three members of the family went out.
Su Yuan and Su Xiaomu both wanted to accompany Cheng Qianwei back to her parents' home, and also stopped by Su Xiaomu's uncle's house for a visit.
Due to some historical and current factors, the relationship between the old Su family and Cheng Qianwei's natal brother is not close.
Just to maintain the superficial relationship, when Su Xiaomu and Cheng Qianwei went to Su Xiaomu's grandmother's house years ago, they did not go to Cheng Qianwei's natal brother's house...
Su Xiaomu never cared much about these adults' matters.
As the old saying goes, the grievances and resentments of the previous generation should not be passed down. Cheng Qianwei and Su Yuan rarely talk about this and that at home.
They are all trivial matters, and they are difficult to separate. In the final analysis, no one can make decisions for others, such as support...
As long as Su Yuan goes out together, it will definitely not be Su Xiaomu who drives.
Because Su Xiaomu doesn't like driving, especially for the time being, he doesn't like driving cars other than Martha, and he doesn't even like driving his own Land Rover.
After getting in the car, Cheng Qianwei said, "Hey, you will drive to your uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings later. Everything is in the trunk."
Su Xiaomu responded with a yes.
This is true for most years, so there is nothing surprising about it.
Cheng Qianwei added, "Don't talk much when you go, have a cup of tea before leaving, answer whatever you ask, don't take the initiative to say anything, you know?"
"I know." The older Su Xiaomu got, the more Cheng Qianwei asked her to go to her uncle's house.
Of course, it is not necessary to teach Su Xiaomu how to speak.
I didn't ask Su Xiaomu to be deliberately cold. Just say what you need to say and don't be too proactive.
The meaning is obvious, Cheng Qianwei has not been able to get over that hurdle so far, some things are not like other people or like in movies and TV series, just smile and forget the grudges.
Or it could be the final enlightenment, or the sudden forgiveness after becoming more intellectual.
None of these exist.
Some are related to the bottom line and cannot be compromised, even if changes are made.
This is the real life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
Su Yuan had driven a car in the early years, and was much older than Su Xiaomu in terms of driving experience. The driving stability was not that high, because the experienced driver was always very fast.
It's basically a hardened road and can be reached in less than fifteen minutes.
An old man wearing a bright red cotton coat sat at the gate. The old house in Alley No. 3 had mottled walls. Of course, it was not that bad in a small ravine.
Seeing Su Xiaomu get out of the car, he stood up and said with a smile, "Xiaomu is here, happy New Year."
"Grandma, Happy New Year." Su Xiaomu stepped forward quickly.
It was no different than when I came back. During the Chinese New Year, my home was also very deserted, with no one coming or going, and the basic necessities of life such as rice, flour, grain and oil were still those sent by Su Xiaomu.
Well, this is commonplace.
Su Xiaomu didn't have much to say, after all, he was a junior.
After leaving her grandmother's house, Su Xiaomu drove two kilometers to her uncle and uncle's house. It has three floors in Lane 6. The decoration and layout can be described as exquisite and grand in rural areas.
Much better than the old Su family.
"Uncle, uncle, happy New Year." Of course, Su Xiaomu, as a junior, had to start this kind of greeting.
Then every sentence is a question and an answer.
Treat people like your uncle, uncle, aunt and uncle as you would treat outsiders, for example, smile, look sideways, listen, and then say a few simple syllables.
Even my uncle and his wife, my brother-in-law and his wife were actually pretty good to Su Xiaomu.
But Su Xiaomu didn't say anything extra.
"This kid is getting more handsome every year. Now that he is in college, there must be many little girls following him, right?" the uncle joked.
Su Xiaomu calmly replied, "No."
This is a fact, he didn't see it anyway.
"..."
"I heard that you made money while going to college? You made money by writing software, right?"
"Well, I wrote a small software."
"Your brother also studies software. You can communicate more."
Cheng Peng, the son of Su Xiaomu's cousin and uncle, did not go to college after graduating from high school. Because his grades were not very satisfactory and his reading ability was not good, he went to a training institution.
Working in Shenzhen, the salary is getting higher year by year, but few people come back.
This year is no exception.
"Yes, yes, I will ask my cousin for advice."
"..."
After drinking two cups of tea, Su Xiaomu left. After getting in the car, he sighed and whispered, "Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite."
Su Xiaomu is not close to Cheng Peng either. In fact, he is not close to any male.
For some reasons, Cheng Peng was relatively indifferent and rarely communicated with his family and relatives. However, he was very kind to his grandmother. However, this kind of kindness was separated by high mountains and long distances, so he lost a lot of affection.
In the countryside and small ravines, every family has all kinds of things, which are just misfortunes and more misfortunes.
Generally speaking, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Su Xiaomu's family of three will return home on the same day when they go back to their parents' home to pay New Year greetings.
I made dinner for the old man and stayed with him to eat before leaving.
There wasn't much Cheng Qianwei could do. 15 kilometers wasn't that far in terms of driving distance, but in terms of foot distance, the time granularity seemed relatively long, basically more than three and a half hours.
It takes seven hours to go back and forth. If it hadn't been for the motorcycle later, the old man wouldn't have moved out to live alone...
The trivial details here could probably fill a million-word book.
…………
…………
Su Xiaomu has been really busy since the third grade of junior high school.
Comrade Su Yuan and Ms. Cheng Qianwei were ordered to go out and visit various relatives.
What happened was this, on the morning of the third grade of junior high school, after having breakfast and clearing the table, before the neighbors came to the door, Su Yuan took out a list, handed it to Su Xiaomu, and said.
"This is the relative you need to finish running before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
Su Xiaomu: "???" Abba, are you kidding me, a list????
Do we have so many relatives in our family?
Su Xiaomu was very suspicious. In previous years, he basically rode a motorcycle and finished the trip in one day. Why did he make a list this year?
Is it because I brought too much stuff back?
Before Su Xiaomu could speak, Su Yuan gave an explanation.
"You went to college, made money, became successful, and brought so many things back with you. You have to go visit relatives and bring a few things from each house..."
