Chapter 208 Time changes
Only Chen Zhengqian and his mother Li Xiaomei ate lunch.

Dad Chen Guowei received a small project a few days ago, and he did not come back for lunch in the next county.

Chen Zhengqian ate three bowls of plain rice in one go, and then drank two more bowls of thick pork rib soup, feeling immediately relieved.

Li Xiaomei looked at him eating so much, not to mention how happy she was, wishing he could eat more and gain more meat, he looked so thin, I was really worried for him.

If boys don't grow stronger, how can girls like them.

After eating, Chen Zhengqian went out for a walk, as a walk after dinner.

First, I went to grandma's house to see, say hello to my grandparents and my second aunt, and then played with a few cousins ​​and cousins.

I found that since I gave them Jinliulu last time, they have become a lot smarter, and their academic performance is now the top student in the class.

It is estimated that if this continues, with a little effort, it should not be a big problem to get into Hecheng No. [-] Middle School, and the height has also increased significantly.

I asked my second aunt, and they all said that the children were in very good health, and they didn't even have a cold or fever.

This is a good thing, Chen Zhengqian is also happy for everyone, there is nothing more important than the healthy growth of the next generation in the family.

After leaving grandma's house, I walked along the cement road and watched.

I remember that this cement road was only built in 08.

In response to the country's new rural development policy, and for the sake of some people's political achievements and face, a large-scale image project was carried out to strive for the evaluation of "advanced rural units". Death orders were issued from the city to the town, and every village must be repaired. cement road.

Then each household began to collect money to raise funds, but I don't know how much money was actually used for road construction.

In fact, after the road is repaired, it is indeed much more convenient. At least it is not like before, when it rains, it turns into a piece of mud, and you can't walk with rain boots.All kinds of sewage are mixed together, and I dare not step down in sandals.

It's a little better now, but it's just a little bit better. Don't expect the roads in the countryside to be as clean as those in big cities.

In the past few years, Chen Zhengqian has been studying outside. Except for holidays, he seldom goes home at other times, and has seldom had the opportunity to wander around the village.

Looking at it all the way, I found that there are really many changes.

For example, many new houses have been added, all built with two or three floors. It's okay and everyone knows the families around them.He rarely went to Shangbian Village and was not very familiar with it. Looking from a distance, there was no one at the door and he didn't know whose house it belonged to.

There are also several big trees in my impression. In summer, there are always old people playing cards or chatting and shaking cattail fans under the trees. Now most of the old people are gone, and the big trees have disappeared, leaving only a wooden stump.

Chen Zhengqian couldn't tell what caused so many changes in this poor village.

Also, many young people in the village have married daughter-in-laws and started families.

Those who do not study and go to work, very few of them are not married by the age of 25.Many people work outside, meet a young girl who is about the same age, and bring them home during the Chinese New Year, and that's it.Basically, they all started a family in their early 20s, maybe even earlier, and had children in their arms before they arrived.

This kind of situation is estimated to be rare in cities, but in rural areas, it is almost too common.

Chen Zhengqian remembered that one of his elementary school classmates had just graduated from junior high school and had a drink with the daughter of a family. It is estimated that his son has already started elementary school by now.

The daughter next door to the old house used to date a boy in her class when she was 15 years old in junior high school, but her old father was furious and threatened to break the boy's legs.

Later, the two still became.

As for whether they are lucky or not, only the person involved knows.

During the Chinese New Year, Chen Zhengqian saw her come back to visit relatives with the baby in her arms.

Faced with this situation, Chen Zhengqian could only sigh, that the world is going downhill and people's hearts are gone.

Anyway, among the younger generation in the village, Chen Zhengqian knew about his age, and few of them were unmarried, which made him an outlier instead.

The whole world is full of the sour smell of love, only I still exude the fragrance of a single dog!

Chen Zhengqian comforted himself silently like this, thinking in his heart, should he bring a girlfriend back for the New Year?

In fact, he is very envious of other people's relationship between husband and wife, from campus to wedding dress, from black hair to white hair, but he always feels that he is not so lucky.

In other words, it was still a little bit close, and it didn't reach the point where it would happen naturally?
Hey, don't think too much about it. Feelings are too complicated, let's just let nature take its course.

As he walked, Chen Zhengqian met a few familiar uncles and aunties, and then greeted them with a polite smile, or chatted a few more words that were not nutritious.

"That's right, I'm such a good boy who has been so polite since childhood!" Chen Zhengqian couldn't help giving himself a hundred likes, not afraid of being proud at all.

In addition, he also met another acquaintance, a childhood playmate - Chen Zhiyang.

Chen Zhiyang is one year older than him. He quit high school when he finished high school. He followed his cousin to hang out in Pengcheng for a few years. In the first few years during the Chinese New Year, everyone met and chatted a little. Now I don’t know what he is now. What is it like.

When Chen Zhengqian saw Chen Zhiyang, he greeted him from a distance.

The Chen Zhiyang in front of him was not much different from what he remembered, but he was more mature than before.

It’s no longer the little rascal who used the family’s money to buy a four-wheel drive, but was tied to a tree by his father and smoked. It’s no longer the rascal who went to the billiard court to play billiards after school and whoever lost would pay. The cat is gone.

The billiard table rent for one yuan can be played all afternoon.

But you have to be careful not to be seen by the adults in the village, otherwise if you complain to your family, you will be beaten when you return home!
Unfortunately, those things happened a long time ago. Now that everyone has grown up, I feel that there are fewer topics to talk about.

Chen Zhiyang was surprised when he saw Chen Zhengqian: "Chen Zhengqian? Why are you at home?"

Chen Zhengqian smiled and said: "There's no need to go to class, so I'll come back sometime and spend time with my parents."

"You haven't graduated yet? How did I hear that you made a fortune?" Chen Zhiyang was even more surprised. This seemed to be a bit different from what he knew.

He just heard that Chen Zhengqian became a big star and made a lot of money, but he didn't know that he hadn't graduated yet.

"I made a little money, but I won't graduate until June next year. By the way, what's your situation now?" Chen Zhengqian didn't want to talk too much about himself, so he dragged it vaguely, and asked Chen Zhiyang instead.

"What else can I do, just fool around like before!" Speaking of this question, Chen Zhiyang looked indifferent.

Chen Zhengqian smiled and asked: "You are not young anymore, your parents won't urge you to bring a girlfriend back to get married?"

Who knew that Chen Zhiyang said: "I have a wife, but I don't have money to serve wine!" After speaking, he shrugged his shoulders, expressing helplessness.

Chen Zhengqian was really taken aback, he didn't know anything about it, so he asked him: "When did it happen, I have never heard of it."

"In July, I brought her back and showed it to my parents, and they didn't object."

Chen Zhiyang scratched his head: "It's just that gift money is more troublesome. The other party wants 5 yuan. I can't afford that much for a while, so I put it aside for now. I will marry her next year when I can save money."

Seeing his happy and virtuous face, Chen Zhengqian expressed that he was caught off guard and was stuffed with dog food again.

How should I put it, 5 yuan may not be considered a big amount for city people.Because getting married in the city now requires at least a house and a car, otherwise there is no need to discuss it.

Some even want a gift of [-] yuan to their natal family, or something like "a thousand purples and reds and a little green", something like "three catties and three taels", something like "my brother-in-law's study money", "my brother-in-law's gift money"...

Oh, my brother-in-law also needs to pay for the bride price for my brother-in-law?I dare you to sell your daughter!
However, this situation is really commonplace.

The situation in the countryside is much better.

Chen Zhengqian said that when his five cousins ​​and three cousins ​​got married, the gift money from her natal family did not exceed 50 yuan, and then her natal family directly replaced it with a set of furniture and a 5000-inch LCD TV, and paid [-] yuan instead.

For example, my cousin Jiang Hongyi’s family, when my cousin got married, although my uncle was not very satisfied with the man’s family, but they gave me 8000 yuan as a gift, my cousin turned around and replaced it with home appliances, everything from TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners to baby carriages. up.

Cousin said, although our family is a little poor, it is not enough to afford the bride price for our daughter.

5 yuan is indeed not a small amount for a wage earner from a rural background, but judging from his appearance, it seems that he is willing to eat it, and Chen Zhengqian can't say anything.

The two had a brief chat, but they couldn't find anything in common. Chen Zhiyang said he still had something to do, so he left first.

After saying goodbye to Chen Zhiyang, Chen Zhengqian returned home and found that there was an extra guest at home.

The person who came was the head of this village——Chen Rongliang.

　The second update, I don’t want to stay up late, I’m so hungry, I’ll write again tomorrow morning if I have anything to eat, good night everyone, Orz!
