Late that night, Cheng Tianyuan, who was drinking with Ahu, received a WeChat voice from his eldest son.
He clicked it in a daze, and after listening to it once, he was a little disbelief and listened again.
Ah Hu's cheeks flushed and he burped.
"What's wrong? My family is urging you to go back. I just said you're sleeping here tonight. It's rare that you come to me to drink. You must not let your sister-in-law know. Well... I just said we'll continue chatting.
, I will go to bed here at night and go back tomorrow morning."
Cheng Tianyuan suddenly woke up a lot, stared at the screen of his phone, and listened again in disbelief.
Yes, he heard it right.
The eldest son said that the few of them had advised their daughter-in-law to agree to take his old mother back to his hometown.
He also said that he knew that grandma had always been concerned about her hometown, but unfortunately everyone had no time to go back with her. Since dad wanted to stay with grandma for a few days, then go.
My mother told me that I could not take the plane and arranged for Lao Chen to drive them back. The car was equipped with all kinds of equipment, so it would be easier to travel a long distance.
Cheng Tianyuan: "??"
So, Xue Ling really agreed.
However, he only said that he would stay for a few days, but it was not what he proposed to sell the company at the beginning and move his old mother back to his hometown to live there for a long time.
It seems that she did not tell the truth to her sons.
Ah Hu, who was standing beside him handed the broken peanuts to him and smiled and said, "It's very delicious! Youyou specially bought it for us online and sent it directly to the doorstep of his house, which is very convenient."
Cheng Tianyuan ate slowly and asked: "Did you... have you contacted Chen Min recently?"
"No." Ah Hu explained: "He is very busy now, so where do you have so much time to chat with me all day long! I told him the day before yesterday that the salted duck eggs have been received, and I will give them some to you and keep some at home.
.”
Speaking of his cousin's second spring career, Ah Hu couldn't help but be envious.
"He said it was quite hard at the beginning, but fortunately his eldest son helped a lot, otherwise he would not be able to do it alone. He is so old that it is not so much for his second spring career, but his son is leading him to start a business with him rather than starting a business.
.”
"Oh~" said this, Ah Hu couldn't help but sigh, "If Xiaohuzi could take me to start a business together, then I don't know what I would be happy about!"
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and asked, "Are you sure you can do it?"
"No!" Ah Hu smiled bitterly: "First, my health is much worse than Ah Min, and even worse than you. Second, I can't even understand what Xiao Hu Zi did, let alone bring me some advice.
I started a business and just threw a new mobile phone for me. Maybe I couldn't use it. Xiao Xiaohu sent it to kindergarten, and there was only one mini tiger at home, and a nanny could help. The child was still young and slept for a long time, so I
Sometimes I was so idle with Ah Qing that I simply went to the kitchen to make some food, or went out of the yard to pull out weeds. Brother, to be honest, you are the one I envy the most."
Cheng Tianyuan was slightly stunned and asked, "What do you envy me?"
"Hey!" Ah Hu said: "Your company has been running and money has been making. At our age, how many people can still make money easily? Ah? I'm not healthy and have retired for many years. Fortunately, I'm not very good at it.
I heard my sister-in-law's words back then and bought a lot of real estate and stores. Now I can still collect rent and make some money, otherwise I can only rely on my son to support me. People, once I ask others for money, it will be completely different.
!”
Cheng Tianyuan was thinking about it and didn't speak while eating peanuts.
Ahu continued: "Like those relatives and friends in my hometown, who have retirement wages, they work hard to exercise every day, for fear that one day they will suffer from serious illness, and even more for fear that they will not receive a pension if they die. Those who have no pension can only
I revolve around my grandchildren, for fear that my daughter-in-law would not like them to help, and even more afraid that my son would ignore them. At our age, if you want to make money every year, it is really rare! You can still make money by my side,
I don't envy who you envy!"
Cheng Tianyuan wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he did not express his idea of selling the company.
Ah Hu lowered his voice: "We are happy for a while that Chen Min can still develop a second wave of career, but I feel so sorry for him. You said that he is so old and still has to blow the wind by the river every day.
, living in a simple dormitory, chasing groups of ducks... I feel uncomfortable whenever I think of it. Yes, he said that his body is stronger than before, and he is healthier, and I am happy for him. But I also know him
It's very hard... it's very hard. He has to rely on his son to make money now, but it's not possible to rely on himself. You are different. The company is in order and has been operating normally. You, the leader, just waits to collect money. You are blowing air conditioners in summer and winter.
The office is extremely luxurious when we use heating. We are only a few years apart. How could we not envy you if you can do this?"
Cheng Tianyuan thought of Xue Ling's words and coughed lightly.
"The company has been in so many years, and it has laid a good foundation and is also old employees. It's really not too much to do business now."
Ah Hu laughed and teased: "Just just have fun!"
Cheng Tianyuan paused and couldn't help asking: "Ahu, do you...will you... want to go back to your hometown occasionally?"
"No!" Ahu shrugged: "My home is here in the imperial capital, and there is nothing but an old house in my hometown. My wife, son, daughter and grandson are all here. What am I going back to do?"
Cheng Tianyuan lowered his eyes and whispered: "I am different from you. I have an old mother. My mother has been clamoring to go back to her hometown for a while. I plan to take her back to live... and stay for a while."
"What?" Ah Hu asked, blinking his eyes, "What the godmother said in such a confused way - how can you take it seriously?"
He has heard of the old man who often talks about going back to his hometown and burying him in his hometown several times.
However, he didn't take it seriously at all.
"I still understand that I am buried in my hometown." Ah Hu whispered: "After all, my godfather is buried there, and the relationship between them is so good. I have to take it back for a joint burial, right? But where can I live back...
...It definitely won't work."
Cheng Tianyuan sighed softly: "It's better to take her back and live for a while. Otherwise, I... I always feel that she will be angry with me. In our hometown, when the old man is old, he must go back to his hometown to live, and then
Only when you die there can your life be considered complete.”
"But--" Ah Hu frowned and asked, "You can take care of your godmother alone? How is that possible!"
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and said, "If you really can't hire a local nanny to help, it should be fine."
Ahu glared: "That's not what I'm talking about! My godmother has no sister-in-law, no in-laws, no in-laws, no grandchildren, and no grandchildren to accompany her. How could she be happy?! He is old, who doesn't want to be lively around her.
?The old man suddenly became lonely, which was not good for his condition!"
