Chen Jing has three brothers and sisters. His sister Chen Tingyue is already married, and this time it is his sister Chen Can who is getting married.
Chen Jing's father Chen Zhidong and mother Zhong Xiujuan are both primary school teachers. Both parents are currently resting at home. It is true that they live a leisurely life, but they have little spare money. They are no different from ordinary working-class retired couples.
Because his sister is getting married, Chen Jing's family has been very lively these days. His uncles, aunts and cousins in Chucheng are all gathered together. Chen Jing's family does not have many relatives. There are only ten people in his generation including cousins. Maybe because of this
The reason is that the whole big family is relatively harmonious.
Chen Jing has been loved by everyone at home since she was a child, and she was very pampered by her family. However, in the past few years when she has grown up and started working, the entire family has been very disappointed with Chen Jing's experience. This is a very complicated and even somewhat contradictory psychology.
.
Chen Jing's father, Chen Zhidong, has not shown good face to his son in the past two years. He has an old mentality, "If your parents are here, don't travel far." Chen Jing is now exiled to the remote area of Lihe River. He would rather suffer that than
He didn't understand that he was taking a decent class in the provincial capital.
Other people's sons go to the capital, Hong Kong, or even study abroad when they travel far away, while his son goes to the countryside.
Even if he went to the countryside, Chen Jing might as well go to Tibetan areas and border provinces, under the slogan of supporting the frontiers, which he had shown in the past few years, and that would still be face-saving. Chen Jing chose to go to Lihe County, the most remote county in Chujiang Province, to mention this matter.
Chen Zhidong felt useless.
Not only is Chen Zhidong a coward, but everyone in the Chen family feels that Chen Jing is too honest and too dedicated to studying. If it weren't for the protection of the old man at home, Chen Jing would never have thought of staying in Lihe for such a long time.
Chen Jing returned to the provincial capital and did not stay home for several days, so everyone had problems with him.
When Chen Jing came home happily, Chen Zhidong immediately asked: "You have been crazy these past few days. We took one look at you and disappeared. What on earth is going on with you?"
Chen Jing was speechless when asked by his father.
Chen Can stepped forward and said: "Brother, you don't want to go back to the provincial capital during the event! That won't be easy. If you want to do the event, you have to wait until my big things are done. You can't mess around these days.
Ran!"
Chen Jing raised his hand and gave Chen Can a slap in the face: "You little girl, why are you talking to me? Just imitate other people's sinister ways."
Chen Can chuckled, Chen Jing's aunt's cousin Huang Li was also there. She married well, her husband's family was engaged in engineering, she was rich, and she was usually the most stylish at home.
She turned to Chen Jing and said, "Jingzi, don't blame Xiao Can for making fun of you. You are the same, a dignified college student. How can you not find anything to do? As long as you respond, I will ask your brother-in-law to help you."
How about finding a job in a state-owned enterprise, Chujiang Heavy Industry?
Working there will not give you as much dignity as you do now!"
Huang Li paused, changed the topic, and said to the brothers and sisters around him: "I often say that if you study too much, you will easily become stupid. Our Jingzi is an example. When he was a child, everyone in the family praised him, and we all
No matter how useless it is, Jingzi is the best. Even if he farts, Jingzi is the best.
How are we now? Among our ten brothers and sisters, let’s not talk about the ones who are underage, but the ones who have entered society, Jingzi..."
Chen Jing coughed and looked a little ugly. Cousin Huang Li was such a snobbish person. Looking at home, his husband Yan Ming was playing chess with his cousin with his legs crossed and his lotus fingers raised. Chen Jing has been here for so long since he came here.
Never looked at it.
Chen Jing's uncle, Chen Zhihua, was watching the battle and just frowned at Chen Jing's entrance.
Chen Jing leaned towards her mother Zhong Xiujuan. Her mother took her hand and stroked her gently. Chen Jing felt relieved and all the negative emotions disappeared.
"Win, win! Xiao Huangpi, you're a little behind when playing chess with me!" Yan Ming's voice was loud, and his cousin Chen Zhe said modestly: "I even said I couldn't beat you, but you
You have to force me to do it, don’t you insist on ravaging me?”
Chen Zhe has been hanging out with Yan Ming in the past few years, and has become a bit of a fool. Yesterday, Chen Jing heard them discussing cars. He probably wanted to buy a car, and he was very impressive.
"Okay, okay! Just be quiet!" Uncle Chen Zhihua said, "I think it's almost time for today. For Xiao Can's wedding, our lady will serve the wine first, but now the hotel, jewelry, and dowry haven't been booked yet.
The other party's family is in good condition, but we can't let the Chen family lose face. Today, as many brothers and sisters as you can come are here, let's divide the work..."
When Chen Zhihua said this, he frowned and glanced at Chen Can: "What? Xiao Can, are you still dressed like this today? Are you still at work today?"
Chen Can smiled and said: "It's the last day of work today, so I asked my supervisor for leave. Don't I sell jewelry? I have to go to the store to choose jewelry today!"
"I'll go, I'll go with Xiao Can!" Huang Li came to Chen Can's side and pulled his husband with her other hand, "A Ming and I will go to Li Wanfu Jewelry..."
"Then I'll go and show the girl her dowry, bed cabinet and so on!" said my cousin Chen Zhe, while two other cousins asked to go to the Electrical Appliance City.
"Sister Yueting, then you go and make arrangements for the hotel." Huang Li took on the role of parent for the time being. He glanced at Chen Jing and said, "Jingzi, you just went home to accompany your uncle and aunt as a mobile operator!"
As soon as the arrangements were over, everyone in the room went to work happily, leaving only Chen Jing and a few older generations.
Sister Chen Yueting and brother-in-law Wang Guorui were the last to leave. They pulled Chen Jing and talked a lot. Wang Guorui was also a teacher and a loyal person. He patted Chen Jing on the shoulder: "Jingzi, don't take it to your heart. Sister Li and the others are straightforward.
! I support you, do your best, you are only 25 years old, how young you are!”
"Brother, do you really think I've been hit?" Chen Jing said with a half-smile.
Chen Yueting pinched Chen Jing's cheek, feeling a little distressed: "You have lost weight! You have to take good care of yourself outside!"
Chen Jing's heart warmed up and he smiled. He wanted to speak but didn't say anything. His sister had loved him since he was a child, and the two sisters had an extraordinary love. In addition, Chen Yueting had been married for three or four years and had no children yet. This was also the reason why the whole family was very fond of her.
What worries Chen Jing is that when he came back this time, he felt that his sister was obviously more haggard than before, and crow's feet appeared in the corners of her eyes.
Chen Yueting said a few words to Chen Jing, then dragged Chen Jing out of the living room, took out a wad of money from her handbag and stuffed it over her: "Jingzi, go to A Can's place. Our girl can't get married.
If you take advantage of others, you keep the money."
Chen Jing was stunned and immediately understood what her sister meant. Chen Yueting was also quite dissatisfied with the arrogance of Huang Li and his wife, and was worried that Cancan would be wronged if something went wrong while buying jewelry!
Chen Jing took her sister's hand and said, "Sister, you don't need to give me money, I have the money."
Chen Yueting glared at him: "Your money is of great use. You are now a grown-up. You have to find a younger sibling with me. Can you spend this money indiscriminately?"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, dragging her husband with her to go out. Chen Jing stood in a daze, feeling sour in his heart. It felt so good to have her sister's love.
…
Chen Yueting's worry was justified. When Chen Jing rushed to the store where Chen Can worked, he saw Huang Li and Yan Ming arguing with someone there. His sister Chen Can stood aside, looking very embarrassed and flushed.
Huang Li was targeting a middle-aged woman in her thirties wearing work clothes. She had a bit of a shrill voice and a high-pitched tone: "Why is your Li Wanfu management so rigid? My sister will take three extra days off when she gets married. This is not allowed.
Okay? Let’s do this, I’ll buy your jewelry for 10,000 yuan, and you can give my girl a few extra days of leave..."
The middle-aged woman shook her head and said: "No, our company has regulations. Marriage leave can only be for so many days and cannot be extended! This is not something I can decide. You can't even buy something worth 100,000 yuan!"
"Such a bad salesperson's job has so many rules and regulations, so I might as well quit it!" Yan Ming said hummingly from the side. He turned to look at Chen Can, "Cancan, how much money did you earn this month?"
Chen Can stepped forward and said: "Cousin, cousin-in-law, you can do it! The company has company rules, I have taken these few days off!"
"What's enough? When you get married, your brother-in-law and I will give you a Guilin travel package, won't you use it? You won't look down on my cousin and won't even give her this face!" Huang Li interrupted her.
Chen Can's face turned red. She went to the middle-aged woman again and said, "Sister Hua, I'm going to take three days off. Do you think I won't be paid?"
The middle-aged woman chuckled and said: "The company's rules cannot be changed, and no one can be exempted! Unless you quit, it is absolutely impossible to ask for leave!"
The woman's lips were very thin. She paused, licked her lips, and muttered: "There are a few wealthy upstarts who come to show off to us, Li Wanfu, it's really..."
Huang Li had sharp ears. When she heard this, she immediately stepped forward to argue with her. Chen Can stepped forward to stop her. Huang Li glared at Chen Can: "Cancan, why... you are just as worthless as your brother.
, why are you three sisters in my second uncle’s family so timid? Why are you afraid of her? Can she still be a cannibal? "
Chen Can desperately pulled Huang Li and glanced at the surrounding crowd. When she saw Chen Jing, she shouted like a savior: "Brother..."
Chen Jing came out from the onlookers and pulled Huang Li away with one hand. Huang Li looked at Chen Jing blankly: "Jingzi, you... you... hello..."
Chen Jing ignored him, walked straight to the middle-aged woman, and said, "Are you the store manager?"
The middle-aged woman was still angry and nodded coldly. Chen Jing smiled and said, "What? We didn't discuss the matter of asking for leave at all?"
"We, Li Wanfu, are a province-wide chain with standardized management. There can be no exceptions for anyone!" the middle-aged woman said coldly.
"Chen Jing, are you a man? You are afraid of getting into any big trouble. What are you afraid of when your brother-in-law is here to take care of you? Why do you need to beg this woman?" Huang Li said in a loud voice, "Tell Cancan to resign from his job."
No, I won’t serve you anymore. Cancan’s future work will be taken care of by your brother-in-law..."
