Cheng Tianyuan said quickly: "She likes to eat mutton the most, and she always praises the delicious sheep you raise."
"That's great!" Chang Bo was extremely happy and said, "I don't know how to thank my sister-in-law. If she likes it, I will give her another one in a few days!"
"Okay." Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "You should also pay more attention to safety. It's too cold in the morning and the wind and frost are strong. Wait until the sun comes out before coming here."
"I have rough skin and thick flesh, so I won't be in trouble." Chang Bo smiled happily.
Cheng Tianyuan saw that the old man was still wearing an old leather jacket from more than ten years ago, with many patches of seams and patches. Although it looked neat, it was too worn out.
"Uncle Chang, you are smaller than me, so you should be able to wear my coat. Here's the thing. The year before last, my godbrother gave me a military coat, but it was a pity that the coat was too small. My dad's arms are not strong enough.
No matter how convenient it is, I like to wear loose clothes. So I keep that coat in the cabinet. If I don’t wear it, it will be wasted sooner or later. I will go find it in a while. If you like it, I can give you the coat to wear."
"No! It's too expensive!" Chang Bo shook his head and refused: "The quality of the military coat is very good, and it cannot be worn by ordinary people."
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and said, "We are all moving away. If we leave our clothes in the cupboard unattended, they may be eaten by insects soon. No matter how good the quality is, no one will wear it, so isn't it a waste?"
"Then - then - I'm not welcome." Chang Bo smiled and narrowed his eyes, and whispered: "You are so nice every time I come here. I am so embarrassed to send you here and there."
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "We are all members of our own family, so there is no need to be polite."
When Cheng Muhai heard that Uncle Chang was coming, he quickly came out to greet him, poured him hot tea, and then took him to watch TV with him.
Xue's father and mother took Xiao Ranran to play on the grass in the second phase, while Xiao Yangyang fell asleep in the back room.
"I have nothing to do, so I just watch TV. Look, is it good? This is the animal world, and there are many animals to watch every day. Yesterday I also saw a big animal with a bag on its belly.
It’s amazing to have a baby in it!”
Chang Bo exclaimed, "Wow, wow!" and said, "It's different with a TV. You can see everything. What's the name of that animal? How big is it?"
"What's the name of a rat... I've also forgotten." Cheng Muhai said vividly: "Don't think that people are called rats. They are quite big! I saw an adult walking by. He was taller than me, but shorter than those guys.
!”
"Wow!" Chang Bo looked at it with great interest and said with a smile: "I know this! White-haired fox!"
Cheng Tianyuan took a military coat and gave it to Uncle Chang.
Chang Bo rubbed it back and forth with trembling hands, exclaiming: "It's so beautiful! It's new!"
Cheng Muhai said: "Ayuan, you go and cook. Chang Bo will stay here for lunch at noon."
"Hey!" Cheng Tianyuan turned around and went to the next door.
Uncle Chang shook his head quickly and whispered: "There are many people in your family now, including the father-in-law and mother-in-law who came from the imperial capital. They are all rich people. How can I, an old beggar, have the nerve to eat at the same table with them."
"Don't worry, they are all very nice and treat others very well." Cheng Muhai explained with a smile: "I never look down on the poor. If you don't like the poor, why would you marry a poor family like ours."
"That's what I said, but I still don't dare, brother." Chang Bo lowered his voice: "I don't know you very well, so I feel uncomfortable."
Cheng Muhai laughed and said, "I'll take you out to a small shop outside for a few drinks in a while!"
"That's too expensive." Chang Bo smiled sheepishly.
Cheng Muhai said: "That's it, let's finish watching the show first, and then we'll go out."
Chang Bo nodded hurriedly and whispered: "I came to see you to talk about things in the village."
Cheng Muhai asked: "What's going on in the village? Didn't you say last time that we were going to build a big factory? To attract investment to big companies or something? Has it been done?"
"Not yet, it's noisy." Chang Bo frowned and shook his head, explaining: "There is a place where the water source is insufficient, and the space is not wide enough. The people below are clamoring for money, saying that they have nothing if they don't have money. The leaders above are angry.
They say that our village is given such good conditions and such good development opportunities, but we don’t cherish it and only look at the immediate benefits.”
"So there's no conclusion yet?" Cheng Muhai asked.
"Not yet." Chang Bo said, "There will be endless quarrels for a while. If the superiors don't listen to the subordinates, and the subordinates don't listen to the superiors, what's going to happen?"
Cheng Muhai thought of the large amount of land Xue Ling bought and couldn't help but ask: "Are the lands bought by my daughter-in-law within the planned scope?"
"They are all here." Chang Bo explained: "The ones A Yuan's sister-in-law bought are all by the road, which is the center of the plan. The best land in our village has been bought by your family, and everyone nearby knows that your family's land is
At most, you don't make any fuss, and those who only have one or two acres of land are clamoring for compensation here and there every day. In the final analysis, they just want more money."
Cheng Muhai whispered: "Last time I told Lingling, she said it doesn't matter. If the government wants to develop it, it must cooperate. She bought the land. She said it doesn't matter. She said she will cooperate.
, then we don’t need to make a fuss at all.”
"Don't worry." Chang Bo glared and said, "Your land is the best and the most abundant. If someone makes a fuss, you will get the same price, so you will get the same price. There is no need to make a fuss!"
Cheng Muhai smiled softly and said, "My daughter-in-law said the same thing."
Chang Bo laughed and said, "Sister-in-law Ayuan comes from a big city and has extensive knowledge. What she said is absolutely right."
Seeing no one around, Cheng Muhai lowered his voice and asked, "How are you doing around your son after you helped him buy a house?"
"All I have to do is sell the straw mats used to lay my buttocks on." Chang Bo sighed deeply and whispered: "We parents work hard for our children. I am only such a son, and I don't care about him for anyone else."
?When this batch of sheep grows up, I can take a breather. By the way, I borrowed A Yuan’s..."
"Don't mention it." Cheng Muhai said: "A Yuan is not short of a few hundred dollars."
Then, he flashed back to his room, quickly counted five big cards, took them out and gave them to Chang Bo.
Chang Bo pushed away angrily: "What are you doing? The money I borrowed to buy a house hasn't been paid yet! I have food and shelter..."
"I bought you cigarettes." Cheng Muhai whispered: "Keep it, I have a lot of money. My daughter-in-law opened a photo studio, and the business was quite good. Last time, someone gave her more than a thousand yuan in profit, and she changed hands.
He handed it to my wife and me and told us to keep it with us. Now we don’t have to go to the market to buy anything. Ayuan is taking care of the house. They even bought clothes for the four seasons for us, so we have nowhere to spend the money.
"
Chang Bo didn't dare to answer and whispered: "Isn't A Fang still studying? She doesn't have to spend money? She doesn't have to pay tuition? The schools in the provincial capital are not ordinary schools, and the fees are high!"
Cheng Muhai explained: "When she first went to the provincial capital to study, her sister-in-law gave her a house. The house had rent collected every month. She couldn't use that much money in a month, and she still had to pay the remaining tuition fees.
Gotta have something left.”
He stuffed the money into Chang Bo's pocket and said, "Brother, keep it with you for emergencies. If you don't need it, just buy cigarettes."
