"These two are already full. You can go out and give tea to the guests first."
"Okay!" Cheng Tianyuan walked out quickly, holding one in each hand.
After a while, he came back and sat next to the stove to warm himself.
Cheng Muhai glanced at his shoes, thought of something, and smiled softly.
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"
"Look at your shoes." Cheng Muhai shook the branches in his hands, looked at his shoes, and said, "They are thick and warm. I ran out several times and they didn't even get wet! How good!"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "That's because we are driving and don't have to walk at all. The snow is so thick, if it drips a few times, I think even my pants will be wet."
Cheng Muhai smiled and said: "So you have to be lucky that you have a car and such good shoes. At your age, I get wet every day. When I work in the summer, I am covered in sweat from morning to night. In the winter, it rains and snowflakes
, my body was also wet, and my legs and feet were covered with frostbite from the cold.”
Cheng Tianyuan secretly felt distressed and whispered: "Fortunately, there is no need for it now."
When he was a child, he had a very stable and happy life, and the happiness during this period was made possible by his father's hard work and hard work.
Cheng Muhai narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Yeah...it snowed heavily in the winter two years ago. I was coughing and tinkering with the cabbage, thinking that I had no oil at home and had to eat boiled cabbage. Who would have thought that after eating it for two days, you would be in a hurry.
I went home and brought several kilograms of fatty pork and several kilograms of bacon. At that time, your mother and I were eating greasy Chinese cabbage, thinking that life would gradually get better. But I didn’t expect that after Lingling married, our family would change.
It’s so good to have it so quickly! Look, I don’t have to work in the fields in the middle of winter. I just sit by the stove and warm myself by the fire, eating delicious food and drinking spicy food. Now that I think about it, I feel that this life is really great..."
"It will get better and better." Cheng Tianyuan smiled and whispered: "Ling Ling said that when the second phase is completed by the end of next year, there will be a large shopping mall on the first floor for me to open. Then, you can go there to help.
I'll leave this to Chen Min and his wife."
"Really?! A big shopping mall? How big is it?" Cheng Muhai asked in surprise.
Cheng Tianyuan lowered his voice: "I heard it's very big, more than ten times bigger than here."
The old man was stunned and then laughed.
"Okay! Then we can sell more things!"
Cheng Tianyuan knew that when some old villagers in the village came to the county town by chance, they would come over to borrow a small amount of money from his father and ask for a few packs of cigarettes. The old man was kind-hearted and liked to help others, and he felt very proud that he could help others.
confidence.
Because of this, he now pays his father a fixed salary every month, and the bonus is paid at the end of the year.
When an old man has money to spend, he feels more confident.
"What are you selling? What do you want to sell?" Ahu woke up at some point, wrapped himself in a quilt and leaned on the edge of the bed, sleepily asking: "What can I sell in the winter? Wait until the Chinese New Year, we will make more money during the Chinese New Year!"
Cheng Tianyuan and Cheng Muhai looked at each other and smiled softly.
Ah Hu climbed up and sat up, reluctant to leave the warm quilt, and said confusedly: "Uncle, you can make a fire and water here, the room is very warm! I slept so well!"
Cheng Muhai stood up, poured a bowl of hot water, and held it up.
"It's hot, so add more water. Come on, drink it by yourself when it cools down a bit."
"Hey! Thank you, uncle!" Ahu chuckled.
The guests outside cheered and laughed, and the laughter came in.
Ahu asked with a smile: "What are you doing? It's not time to drink wine for the groom yet, right?"
"Playing cards." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Several of Chen Min's cousins are playing cards, and they give cigarettes when they lose."
Ahu felt itchy after hearing this and couldn't help but said: "I'll go there too soon!"
Cheng Tianyuan asked: "How many cigarettes do you smoke? Are you quitting smoking?"
"That's right." Ahu chuckled and said, "I almost fell asleep!"
Cheng Muhai walked out and quickly poured a cup of hot tea in.
"Drink this and you won't be confused anymore!"
Ahu thanked him, took it and drank a few sips of strong tea, his energy instantly recovered.
"Yo! That's great!"
Cheng Muhai narrowed his eyes and smiled, and continued to sit down and light the fire.
Ahu looked at the backs of his father and son, and remembered something, and his eyes turned red without knowing it.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Cheng Tianyuan turned his head in confusion and couldn't help being stunned.
"What's wrong with you?"
Ahu suddenly came back to his senses and smiled.
"Nothing... I just suddenly remembered that my father was here. In the winter, he would light the fire and my mother would cook. My favorite thing was to sit next to him and play with tree branches. I just suddenly thought, if he was still alive,
Maybe we will be like you and uncle."
Cheng Muhai sighed distressedly: "How long will your father be alive?"
"It's been many years. I was only a teenager at that time." Ahu whispered vaguely: "When I woke up, my father would do the same thing as you just now, pour a bowl of water and put it beside the bed for me to drink.
Get warm before you get up."
Cheng Muhai understood.
It turned out that he was emotionally moved by the scene and remembered that his father was here.
Ahu seemed to remember something and suddenly said excitedly: "Uncle, how about you become my godfather?"
Cheng Muhai was stunned for a moment, then quickly laughed.
"Of course! You and A-Yuan are brothers, and I am close to both you and A-Min."
Ahu laughed happily and said: "Then find an opportunity to find a fortune teller to find a good life. I will officially kowtow to you, and you will become my godfather!"
"Okay!" Cheng Muhai was also very happy.
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but laugh and whispered: "You guys are very familiar with your relationship! In less than a minute, you have a godfather, and my dad has a godson."
Ahu said with a smile: "You all know the basics! This is called hitting it off! By the way, if there is a godfather, there will also be a godmother. My aunt will become my godmother from now on! Haha!"
"I won't call you brother!" Cheng Tianyuan's face became serious.
Ahu didn't care at all and said: "We are all brothers whether you call us or not! I don't care!"
However, Cheng Muhai liked Ahu from the bottom of his heart. This young man was more cheerful and smiling than his own son. He was tall and strong, generous and generous, diligent and hard-working - he was a great young man!
"When the weather gets fine, I'll go find someone to calculate a good day. Then the whole family will gather around a table and have a good meal. There's no need to kowtow or anything, just change your words and shout."
"Hey!" Ah Hu said with a smile: "When I return to the provincial capital tomorrow, I will tell sister A Fang to go! From now on, she will be my god sister!"
"Yes, yes." Cheng Muhai nodded hurriedly, with a chrysanthemum smile on his old face.
Ah Hu was so happy to make the arrangement, but unexpectedly, after returning to the provincial capital and raising the issue with Cheng Tianfang, she immediately gave up her objections, and she opposed them very resolutely.
When it was almost noon that day, everyone gathered around the groom and swarmed to the small restaurant.
Although the restaurant is small, it can accommodate six large tables. It was cold, so everyone crowded together to eat and drink without feeling crowded.
Chen Min originally arranged eighteen dishes, but after Ahu looked at it, he added two hundred yuan and asked the store to arrange some more meat dishes.
While everyone was eating, the dishes were served. The dishes were all hot and the meat and vegetables were well matched. Everyone was very satisfied with their meal.
Chen Min didn't know how to drink, and he fell over after just two drinks.
Ah Hu was the most generous, helping to hold back the wine and toast, and drank two or three kilograms of white wine.
Cheng Tianyuan was also forced to drink several cups, and his face and neck became red.
Fortunately, Ahu's mother was very majestic and ran over to yell, telling everyone to go back and drink sweet soup when they were full. Don't drink too much, otherwise she would chase them away.
Everyone laughed, put down their wine glasses one after another, and followed Ahu Mom back to the "Café" in the development zone.
