On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Sun Quan received a call from his eldest cousin Xu Jinghui.
At that time, Sun Quan was playing with his daughter outside the villa. His mother, Xu Mei, encouraged her granddaughter to ride a big horse. But this is not a grassland. Where did the big horse come from?
At that time, Sun Quan was walking out of the house holding a thermos cup, and his mother caught him.
At that time Xu Mei called him, "Hey, Ah Quan, you came out just in time! Come here quickly, your daughter wants to ride a big horse! Come here quickly and let her ride!"
The smile on Sun Quan's face froze for a moment. Is this his biological mother?
If you have a granddaughter, will your son become a Malaysian?
Can't you just let me be a human being?
Suddenly reduced to the status of an animal?
Just as he was about to refuse, Yuan Yulan, who was sitting outside the door basking in the sun, spoke up, "Hurry up, Sun Quan! You are a father, what's wrong with letting your daughter ride? What father has never given his daughter a ride? Come here quickly!"
Yes, Yuan Yulan is here today because Yuan Shuiqing went to the hospital to replace her and take her to rest.
Han Li also agreed with a smile, "Yes! Xiao Quanzi, come here and give Xinxin a ride! Now it's time for you as a father to play your role."
“Is dad’s role just to be a big horse?”
Sun Quan complained, but obediently handed the tea cup to Fu Lei aside, then smiled bitterly and went over to play for his daughter.
She is already a daughter, why not try someone else and let him be a big horse?
But facing his daughter's expectant face, he had nothing to say.
He lay on the ground and pretended to be a big horse. His mother, Xu Mei, held her granddaughter and rode her on his back. Then Xu Mei kept shouting: "Drive! Drive!"
Sun Quan smiled bitterly and cooperated by lying forward. His knees did not touch the ground, but his hands and feet were propped up on the ground to act as a big horse for his daughter.
Not to mention, the little beauty Sun Jiexin, who was riding a horse for the first time, was very happy and giggled on his back. Listening to her happy smile, the bitter smile on Sun Quan's face slowly turned into a happy smile.
As long as your daughter is happy, it doesn't seem to matter if you pretend to be a Malaysian yourself?
It's just that the B level of Platinum Master was lowered by him again.
Han Li was taking pictures of them with her mobile phone, smiling broadly.
The old man, Yuan Shuiqing, Fu Lei and others were also laughing, including Cai Yanan, who was usually stoic, with a smile on his lips at this time.
After playing for a while, when Sun Quanquan started to sweat, a sudden call from his eldest cousin Xu Jinghui saved him.
Speaking of Chinese New Year, his cell phone rang often.
Especially on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, there were calls from editors, colleagues, relatives and friends, and of course subordinates from the company and studio.
Even Xue Zihan, Tao Yujuan and others who were far away in Hangzhou also called him.
Why are other people calling him? Didn’t he take the initiative to call anyone?
Well, in previous years, he did take the initiative to make many calls, but today he didn't take the initiative to make a single call. It's not that he became famous or had more money.
But the old lady had an operation on New Year's Day. On New Year's Eve, he had a deserted New Year's Eve dinner. On the morning of New Year's Day, he waited for the results of the old lady's operation in the hospital. In the afternoon, he worked in the villa kitchen for several hours.
I am neither in the mood nor have the time to call some people to wish them a happy New Year.
If it was before he was reborn, during the Chinese New Year, if he didn't take the initiative to call anyone, his cell phone might not ring. Even if it did ring, it would probably be an alarm.
But things are different now!
Famous and wealthy people always have relatives and friends.
There is a saying that goes: The mountains will not change, but the water will.
There is another saying: If the mountain does not come to me, I will walk towards the mountain.
What’s even worse is: if you are poor in a busy city, no one cares about you; if you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.
He didn't take the initiative to call anyone this year to wish him New Year greetings, but his mobile phone was not idle at all. Most of the people who knew him and had some relationship with him took the initiative to call him.
Like my eldest cousin Xu Jinghui, she only called on the third day of the Lunar New Year, which was already too late.
Of course, this is not surprising.
In fact, in the past few days, very few of his relatives, cousins, or elders took the initiative to call him.
They are always more reserved.
The call is connected.
Xu Jinghui: "Ah Quan, I heard that you are celebrating the New Year in Shanghai this year? Your wife-in-law and grandma are sick, right?"
Sun Quan took the teacup handed over by Fu Lei next to him, holding the phone in one hand and the teacup in the other, and motioned to Fu Lei to help him twist the lid of the teacup.
"Well, yes! Her grandma had a heart problem and had an operation."
While he was talking, Fu Lei had already unscrewed the lid of the cup for him, and he took a sip.
Xu Jinghui: "Oh, how was her surgery? Is the surgery going well?"
Sun Quan: "Well, the operation was quite successful. I am now recuperating in the hospital! Thank you for your concern!"
Xu Jinghui: "Oh, are you polite to me? By the way, my dad asked me to ask you, will you come back this year?"
Sun Quan snorted, "Sister...sister, I need to discuss this with my wife. She is currently serving her grandma in the hospital. This way! When she comes back, I will ask her opinion and see if we can go on smoothly."
, if we can spare time, we will definitely come back to pay New Year’s greetings to my uncle and the others, haha.”
Xu Jinghui: "Yeah, okay! Haha, it doesn't matter whether I wish you a happy new year or not. The main thing is that I haven't seen you for a year. We all want to see you, especially Xinxin, so it would be best if you can come back.
!”
Sun Quan smiled and said, "Okay, when Shui Qing comes back, I will discuss it with her and try to come back as soon as possible, okay?"
Xu Jinghui: "Well, okay, okay, say hello to your wife-in-law and grandma for us!"
Sun Quan: "Well, I will bring it to you, that's it? I'll call you later?"
Xu Jinghui: "Okay, goodbye!"
"goodbye!"
…
call ended.
As soon as he took the phone away from his ear, he heard his mother Xu Mei ask him, "Did your cousin call you? Was it Jinghui or Jingyun?"
Xu Jinghui is Sun Quan’s first cousin, and Xu Jingyun is Sun Quan’s second cousin.
Both of them are eloquent types. After Sun Quan made money selling braised chicken, they went to M City early to visit Sun Quan's shop, learned the skills from Sun Quan's shop, and then opened it in their hometown county.
branch, both of them have made some money in the past two years.
Because of this, these two cousins have become very close to Sun Quan's family in the past two years, and they usually take the initiative to give gifts to Sun Quan's parents during holidays.
"It's my eldest cousin!"
Sun Quan answered.
Xu Mei was curious, "What did she say to you on the phone? Did she ask when you would go over to pay New Year's greetings?"
"Well, uncle and they all want to see us, especially Xinxin."
Sun Quan smiled.
Xu Mei: "Well, it stands to reason that your nephew should go to pay New Year's greetings. It would be shameful not to pay New Year's greetings. How about you take the time to go back? If Shuiqing can't take the time, you can drive back and pick up the relatives of some elders yourself.
It’s also good to say New Year greetings.”
Yuan Yulan interjected: "That's right! You still have to say New Year greetings to your elders, especially since your family is now rich. If you suddenly don't go to say New Year's greetings, people will tell you."
Xu Mei: "That's the truth! Your dad and I are still alive. If you don't go to pay New Year's greetings, your dad and I will not be able to see your uncle and aunt in the future."
Sun Zhicai happened to come out of the room at this time. Hearing this, he snorted, "What's the point? Ah Quan can't leave this year!"
After scolding Xu Mei, he turned to Sun Quan and said, "Ah Quan, if you can spare some time here, you can go back. If you really can't spare the time, forget it! Don't force yourself too much, it doesn't matter!"
Listening to what they said to each other, Sun Quan roughly understood what they meant.
——It’s best to go back if you can, so as not to be gossiped about behind your back.
So at noon that day, when he drove to the hospital to deliver food to his wife, he discussed it with her.
After hearing what he said, Yuan Shuiqing thought for a while, then looked at her grandma who was already asleep on the hospital bed, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Okay! Grandma's condition has been quite stable these two days, and the doctor also said that after a few days of observation, she will be fine.
You can leave the hospital and go home to recuperate. My aunt's side... She and my uncle haven't gone to work yet. They have time to help take care of grandma in the past few days... Okay, then we will go back tomorrow and try to save the day.
I need to pay a visit to our relatives and elders. Your mother and my aunt are right. It’s the Spring Festival after all. If we really can’t spare the time, that’s it. Since we’re not so busy now,
Then you can’t be lazy.”
Seeing Yuan Shuiqing's attitude, Sun Quan naturally had no objection.
"Well, that's okay! Let your aunt take over for you tonight. Let's have a good rest tonight and drive back early tomorrow morning!"
Yuan Shuiqing: "Well, by the way, I won't take Xiao Cai with me this time. You can drive by yourself! Go back to pay New Year greetings... and bring a special driver, which will also make the relatives gossip."
Sun Quan laughed and nodded, "I understand! I understand."
…
So, on the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Sun Quan, Yuan Shuiqing, and Sun Jiexin's family drove back to their hometown.
When the car drove to their hometown county, they parked the car in front of a large supermarket, went in and bought a bunch of gifts, and put them all into the trunk of the car.
However, the time it took to pay this New Year's greeting could not be completed in one day as Yuan Shuiqing had planned.
Every time they arrived at an elder's home, the family of three received warm hospitality.
The kind that even if you want to leave quickly, no one can leave.
For example, his uncle's house.
As soon as they entered the house, the uncle personally took out the best tea leaves in the house and made them tea. The eldest cousin was chatting with him. The second cousin brought out hot tea eggs from the kitchen and warmly greeted them to eat them. If they don't want to eat, I would help them.
I peeled off the eggshells and pushed them into your hand. When the eggshells were peeled off, I asked you if you would take it?
The eggs haven't been swallowed down the throat here, but the aunt over there is already preparing to cook. Yuan Shuiqing is shy and embarrassed to refuse the warm hospitality of uncle Sun Quan and his family.
And the little beauty Sun Jiexin will not refuse. She has not learned how to refuse. Moreover, she has been bribed a long time ago. As soon as she entered the door, Sun Quan's cousin-in-law brought her pastries, one in each hand, making the little beauty beam with joy.
.
As for Sun Quan?
What's the point of his rejection alone?
The uncle personally stayed with him for dinner, and his cousin, cousin-in-law, and others were there to help persuade him to stay. He didn't talk enough to be a couple, so the uncle's house where they went first forced them to stay.
By about two o'clock in the afternoon.
You know, they set off early today, arriving at their hometown county town just before 9 a.m., and at a little after 9:30, they arrived at his uncle's house, where they were kept here for a few hours.
