Chapter 35

Chen Zhengqian said: "I'll go up first to see grandpa and grandma (grandparents)."

Chen Guowei waved his hand: "Go, take half of the snacks you bought. The children are all here, and the rest will be kept at home. When they come down to play, I will share them. By the way, medicinal wine Bring a bottle up for your grandparents."

"Got it." Chen Zhengqian nodded.

Chen Guowei has three brothers and two younger sisters. The two younger sisters were married a long time ago. When he married Li Xiaomei, the family was poor and poor, and his younger siblings owed a lot of debts because of their studies.

As the eldest son and eldest brother, he resolutely chose to separate the family and took on most of the debts to reduce the burden on his two younger brothers who were still studying at the time.However, Chen Zhengqian's two uncles still failed to enter the university.

After all, getting into college in those days was not as easy as it is now.

The 20 to [-] yuan at that time was not comparable to the current [-] to [-] yuan. Although such a large debt was gradually paid off, it dragged the family on for [-] years.

However, the two younger brothers have come out to work and earn money for so many years, but they have never mentioned the tens of thousands of debts to the eldest brother.

This is also the reason for the estrangement between Li Xiaomei and her mother-in-law.

Chen Zhengqian also understood in his heart, it's just that it's not easy to balance, no matter how different they are, they are still a bloodline.As for Chen Guowei, those are his parents and brothers, what else can he do?
Sandwiched between the two sides, he is the most difficult person to be.

After the family separation, my grandparents and my second and third uncles lived in a two-story building, while Chen Zhengqian’s family lived in a tiled house that leaked when it rained and needed buckets and basins to catch the water.

The one-story bungalow I live in now was also built the year before last.

It is impossible to say that there is no grudge in my heart.

"Grandma, I'm back."

Chen Zhengqian yelled when he saw grandma eating in the kitchen.

"It's summer vacation? You came back by car and didn't call your second uncle to pick you up?" Her voice was still loud and familiar. Grandma was sitting on the old wooden bench and seemed to be in good spirits.

On the table is a plate of white tofu, a plate of beans, a small plate of pickled cucumbers, and a small iron bowl containing a few pieces of mackerel fish.

"Well, it's a holiday. Where's Grandpa?" There were only a few children in the hall looking at Bald Qiang, but Grandpa was nowhere to be seen.

"I was playing cards with people in Weili, I just knew how to play cards, and I didn't even remember to come back to eat, so let him starve to death!" Grandma cursed.

Chen Zhengqian was speechless, and said to his second uncle's youngest son, Chen Zhenghao: "Oh, I bought some candies and biscuits, Haozi, come over and share them with everyone. Don't eat them all at once, or they will be gone tomorrow!"

Haozai excitedly ran over to take a big bag of snacks, and the younger sisters also watched helplessly, not even caring that Bald Qiang was being bullied by the two brothers Xiong Da.

"Thank you, Brother Qian!" Chen Zhenghao is in the fourth grade, and he is quite polite, but occasionally he will be whipped by his father with a small bamboo stick when he is naughty.

Children like sweet snacks the most. Chen Zhengqian also came here this way back then, but he was not so lucky back then. It would be nice to have a full meal.

Chen Zhengqian asked again: "Will Second Uncle come back tonight?"

Grandma replied: "Hey, after he gets off work, he will come back after dinner, usually at 7:[-] in the evening. Today, the pig feed is out at home, so he should come earlier. What do you want him to do?"

"No, I have something to tell him, I'll come up tonight."

Chen Zhengqian didn't say anything, and gave the can of medicinal wine to grandma: "Grandma, I specially asked a friend to help buy this, it's a great supplement, you and grandpa are at home, drink some when you have time, don't drink too much, half a bowl at a time That's it. Don't give it to children, they can't drink this."

Looking at the beautiful bottle, grandma smacked her lips: "If you are older, you will learn how to spend money like others. What's the use of buying this thing!" Open the cork and smell the wine, it really is a good thing. They all grinned.

Chen Zhengqian returned home and asked his father, "Dad, how much debt does the family still owe?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"Of course it is to pay off the debt!" Chen Zhengqian spread his hands, "I used to have no money to pay back, but now that I have money, of course I should pay off the money to my relatives first. Everyone is not well-off, so paying them back will make life easier for everyone .”

Rural relatives, everyone’s living standard is limited. Today you lend me a chicken, and tomorrow I will return you a duck. A few thousand dollars is not a small amount for them, so it is better to pay off the debt first. .

Chen Guowei sighed: "The family owed a lot before, and they borrowed and paid back. The year before last, they borrowed more than 1 yuan to build a house. Later, you borrowed a lot for studying." come out.

"The ones that are still owed are about [-]. Your sister Qing will start building a house in the last two months. If you build a three-story house directly, you owe her [-]. I paid back [-], and there is still a shortfall of [-]. Build the house and pay it back first.

You paid the tuition last semester, and I asked Uncle Yi to borrow five thousand, and it's almost time to pay it back.And your sister-in-law, when I borrowed four thousand, Wei Zai often went to the hospital to buy medicine, and she had to pay it back..."

Watching his father's calculations, Chen Zhengqian suddenly realized that he really didn't care about these things before.

If he didn't get the golden finger and the many benefits brought by the warehouse, how long would it take for him to help his father pay off these debts?
I must let my parents live a carefree life!

Chen Zhengqian took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Of course I have to pay it back, and I will pay it all at once. Dad, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I do things properly. This amount of money is nothing to me. .

Besides, when the family was in trouble, it was supported by these poor relatives. If they had any difficulties, I would definitely not ignore them. "

Chen Guowei heaved a sigh of relief.

I don't have the ability to make money, and I work hard every year. At the end of the year, there will not be much left. It is everyone who helps each other to survive.He was most afraid that his son would make money and forget the relatives' help in the blink of an eye, so even if he paid back the money, there would be no point.

"That's good. I'll go to the bank later and withdraw some money first. In a few days, we will find time to pay them back one by one."

Chen Zhengqian made a decision for his father: "Also, taking advantage of the cheapness of sandstone and steel bars this year, let's build up the second and third floors as soon as possible. The decoration is beautiful, and we can live comfortably. Others will come to see it, and we will save face." no?"

When Chen Guowei heard this, he really laughed.

Rural people also care about face. Whoever’s son is promising, he will build a house when he comes back, so that others will know that the children of this family are promising, and after earning money, they will help their old parents build a beautiful big house!

Things are much easier to settle down.

There was no CCB branch in the town, so I had to go to downtown Hecheng and withdraw 19 yuan.

Because more than 20 yuan requires an appointment, it can only be picked up the next day, which is too troublesome.

The lobby manager of the bank respectfully invited Chen Zhengqian into the VIP room. This is a rare big customer, and there are not many in the entire Crane City. If something goes wrong, the president probably will take it easy.

The brand-new banknotes were neatly stacked, nineteen bills, thrown into the backpack by Chen Zhengqian, and the backpack was randomly thrown on the passenger seat.

When the nineteen bills were placed in front of the parents, even the taciturn father seemed very excited, let alone the mother.

Chen Zhengqian said: "Dad, you keep the money first, and I will go with you to pay Uncle Yi and the others tomorrow. The rest is to buy materials and try to finish the house before the Chinese New Year."

Chen Guowei and his wife naturally had no objections.

After 06:30 in the evening, my second uncle Chen Guoliang drove his motorcycle back from Hecheng and picked up two bags of pig feed.

"Guoliang is back!" Chen Guowei nodded in greeting.

"Second uncle!" Seeing Chen Guoliang, Chen Zhengqian quickly said hello with a smile.

"Our college students are back?" Chen Guoliang just unloaded the pig feed, he was taken aback when he saw Chen Zhengqian, and then said with a smile, "You came back by yourself? Why didn't you call me and ask me to pick you up."

Being teased, Chen Zhengqian smiled sheepishly: "I have to pick you up every time. It's too troublesome."

He walked into the house: "By the way, Second Uncle, there is something I want my dad to discuss with you."
