At noon that day, Chen Min took Cheng Tianyuan and his wife, Xiao Huzi, and Wang Qing to eat vegetable soup.
Wang Qing has been working hard for a while and has no appetite for eating. He heard that there is vegetable soup, so he went with him.
Xiaohuzi sat with her in the back seat, helped her pull her coat, and helped her to wrap her neck.
When Chen Min saw this scene when he saw the rearview mirror, he couldn't help but laugh softly.
"Xiao Huzi has started a family and started a career, and is a big man. He knows how to take care of his mother. No wonder he says that whether a man can grow up depends on whether he has started a family and assumes family responsibilities."
Xiaohuzi smiled embarrassedly and whispered: "...it's not good yet."
If there is no support from parents and without Uncle Yuan and Aunt help, he will not be able to support his small family, let alone a big family.
"Take it slow." Cheng Tianyuan interrupted in the passenger seat: "You are still a little younger and more immature, and it takes time."
Wang Qing was very tired and fell asleep shortly after getting on the bus.
Xue Ling was sad that Liu Xing was about to die soon, and he had no intention of chatting at all, and kept staring out the window in a daze.
After eating the vegetable soup, everyone sat in the private room and discussed how to arrange the next funeral.
Wang Qing explained: "Ahu has told me that the old traditional funeral ceremony has been skipped a lot. Are we locals or follow the trend? What should we do if other people do? Then we will invite some clans.
When having dinner with neighbors, the venue must be booked in advance, and the location of the funeral must be booked in advance."
"Don't do it in the old house." Chen Min frowned and whispered: "The place is too small."
Xiaohuzi suggested: "It is better to go to the funeral home for funerals and rent for three days. At that time, rent two minibuses, plus one of his own cars and two of my cousin's cars, which should be enough to take a seat."
"I haven't been walking around Rongcheng for many years." Cheng Tianyuan said the truth: "I'm afraid I can't help. Amin, you are familiar with this, so you can arrange these in advance. Ahu is not in good health and needs to take care of the eldest lady.
, it's already a lack of skills."
Xue Ling said: "Ayuan is his godson. According to the old tradition here, he should wear mourning clothes like Ahu to help with funerals. We should also bear half of the funeral costs. We are ready for this time."
Wang Qing was moved to tears and said to his son beside him: "Look, this is the benefit of having good brothers. Whether it is a funeral or a happy event, there are many people and great power, not only are the best matches, but also the burden on each other is smaller.
With your sister helping you, the burden will be smaller. When the little tiger is older, you should try to have more babies and not let the family be too thin."
My mother-in-law is widowed and raised her husband, and only Ah Hu is alone, and the population is very small.
In their generation, only Xiao Huzi and Xiao Yuner are also considered single-generation and single-passing.
In the past, the older generation was helpless, but in their generation, the family planning policy was very strict. In addition, she and Ahu were not old enough to have many children.
Shan You is the only daughter, he is also the only son. Both of them are still young and are financially better than before. In the future, you have to strive to give birth to more children, spread and reproduce the family bloodline, and cannot be passed on from generation to generation.
Xiaohuzi said perfunctorily, took out his cell phone and pretended to be busy.
At this moment, Ah Hu called and said that Liu Xiaoyu and his wife came to visit the aunt.
They heard that Cheng Tianyuan and his wife returned to Rongcheng yesterday. They thought that they hadn't seen each other for many years and had to find a chance to meet them. They asked their location and they wanted to drive over.
Chen Min looked at the time and said, "Let them go to the office on the first floor of the supermarket to find us. It's afternoon now, and the supermarket is quieter. We'll drive back to the supermarket now and go to see our aunt later."
After hanging up, Chen Min took Cheng Tianyuan and his wife to the "Jaleduo" supermarket.
Cheng Tianyuan rented a car in the provincial capital for Xiaohuzi, asking him to take his mother back to the old house and spend more time with the old lady.
As soon as the group arrived at the parking lot of the supermarket, they saw Liu Xiaoyu and Jinhua standing at the elevator entrance waiting.
After not seeing each other for many years, my old friends have already gray hair and look like an old man and an old lady.
Liu Xiaoyu was still as cheerful as ever, laughing: "I am a person from a big city. I look at least twenty years younger than us! Sister-in-law, why are you still so beautiful? It's the same for twenty or thirty years!"
Xue Ling shook his head and smiled, "No! Time urges people to grow old, they have to grow old, and they have to accept old age."
"Where!" said the elder sister Jinhua: "It is well maintained and you can't tell the age at all!"
Everyone met and had a good time. After entering the office, they drank tea and chatted, and their voices almost stopped.
Cheng Tianyuan asked: "How is it? Is your health okay?"
Liu Xiaoyu smiled bitterly and sighed: "Not very good. When I was young, I did hard work with my energy. I didn't feel anything at that time. I always felt that it was enough to do it. When I was old, I realized that I had worked too hard. I started to hurt a few years ago.
, the limbs are not good, and the old waist is not good. Now, except for walking, eating and drinking, you can’t do any work.”
The old wife Jinhua sighed helplessly: "I'm not good at all... I have always been fat. I used to be fat and felt strong and had no problems. Later, as I was fat, the doctor said that I had three highs, so I couldn't take this.
, you can't take that, you have to take a bunch of medicines to reduce this and that. If you don't take it, you will get sick. If you take it, you will get hungry... You always feel that you are suffering when you get old."
Chen Min shook his head: "I'm old, how can I not age after using the machine for decades? Nothing can be wrong! There are more or less, my waist is not good, and my wife has a cervical spine."
A group of middle-aged people in their forties and fifties gathered together to sigh that time flew away, and their health was not as good as before, so they had to start to impartiality.
Jinhuaxiao asked how many children were doing, how old they were, what major they were studying, and when did they graduate and make money.
Xue Ling replied: "The eldest is studying for a master's degree and majoring in medicine. If there is no accident, he will probably be a doctor in the future. The second child is in his freshman year and now he has to participate in exercise and competition after class. He said he wants to stay in college in the future.
Being a physical education teacher or a coach. The third and fourth brothers are several years younger than them. They are still in the first year of high school and are both in the No. 1 Middle School of the Imperial Capital. They usually live in the school and come back on weekends. Usually, the home is empty, and there are only a few elderly people.
We are companionship with each other. We play and play as soon as we come back on the weekend, and it is very lively."
She turned on her phone and called up a family photo for everyone to see.
Jinhua and Liu Xiaoyu both praised them.
"Several children are all looking so good! They look like you couple!"
"Oh! The old lady looks very energetic!"
"Everyone is tall and handsome, just like the stars on TV!"
Xue Ling was embarrassed to be praised, and then put away the photo and asked, "Your grandchildren should be quite old, right? You are in elementary school, right? I remember you are three girls, two boys, five children, right?"
"Yes." Jinhua sighed and nodded: "It's all a group of debt collectors... The eldest daughter is better, and the others are not worried."
