Wearing sixty with a male god

Xiang Chen's birthday falls in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, and the Chinese New Year will be soon after his birthday.

Originally, Xu Hengzhou planned to pass it to him secretly, but Song Wenbin didn't expect Song Wenbin to mention it in advance.It was only then that Xu Hengzhou remembered that Xu Dashan's youngest son seemed to be born in winter.He said calmly, and sure enough, Xu Dashan's youngest son also had a birthday this month, and Song Wenbin didn't know the exact date.

This is simple, Xu Hengzhou didn't know when the child was born, Song Wenbin asked, and he reported Xiang Chen's birthday.

On Xiang Chen's birthday, Xu Hengzhou spent all his time making him a cake.Without an oven, the fluffy steamed pan was not enough, more like egg scones, but the taste was quite good, and Xiang Chen ate several pieces by himself.

At this time, children are very happy to eat an egg for their birthday, and they don't pay much attention to what birthday gift to give.But Song Wenbin still prepared a gift for Xiang Chen. He was inexperienced, and after asking Xiang Chen if there was anything he wanted, he bought him a few books.

There are not many extracurricular books for children in Qingjiang City. Song Wenbin went to the bookstore several times in a row to buy these few books.

Xiang Chen turned it over, it was a story with a touch of science fiction, the printing was simple, but the content inside looked interesting.

Xu Hengzhou made noodles for dinner, Song Wenbin helped to knead the noodles, and the whole family ate a meal of longevity noodles together.

Lying on the bed at night, Xu Hengzhou asked Xiang Chen if there was any gift he wanted. The materials in his space could almost satisfy all Xiang Chen's wishes.

Xiang Chen tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, and finally took his brother's hand and whispered: "When I was young, I wanted to have an older brother who would play with me and not let others bully me, so now I am very satisfied."

Xu Hengzhou's eyes were full of smiles, and he gently rubbed Xiang Chen's hair. A child's hair is very soft. Xu Hengzhou once heard people say that a child with soft hair also has a soft heart.

"Any other wishes?" Xu Hengzhou asked.

Xiang Chen glanced at him and whispered, "Brother, tell me a story."

Xu Hengzhou hesitated for a moment. He really hadn't read any stories, fairy tales or anything.

"Let me tell you something about my past experience." Xu Hengzhou suggested: "I participated in a military summer camp when I was young, and I encountered some interesting things."

"Wow, is it like boy scouts?" Xiang Chen regained his energy, he really didn't know that his brother had such an experience.

Xu Hengzhou was stunned for a moment, thinking about Xiang Chen's love for military uniforms, he understood why he was so excited.

"It doesn't count." Xu Hengzhou began to narrate without haste: "One time it was field training, and we set up tents..."

……

"Xiang Chen, hurry up!" It was still daylight, and the family building was already full of voices.The little tiger held a bamboo basket and kept urging: "Hurry up, you, it's too late and all the good things are gone!"

"Here we come!" Xiang Chen hurriedly wiped off the water stains on his face with a towel, picked up a basket with one hand, closed the door with the other hand, and ran down with the little tiger.

"Your brother and your uncle really love you." Little Huzi said as he ran, "My mother woke me up in the middle of the night, if I hadn't told her that I would call you, I would have been dragged over to line up by now. "

The New Year is coming soon, and every household is waiting for this month's salary and various receipts to be issued, so that they can buy food and supplies for the New Year.Yesterday, the factory was receiving wages, and there was news that there were many good things in the materials supplied today, so every household went to line up early in the morning.

And because there are many kinds of things they want to buy, they are not in the same line, so usually the whole family will go out together at this time, one person in one line.The Song family had few people, if Xiang Chen didn't go, how much more time would his uncle and brother spend.

"My brother turned off the alarm clock." Xiang Chen was a little annoyed. He set the alarm clock on purpose yesterday, just because he was afraid that his brother wouldn't call him. Unexpectedly, the little tiger called him in the morning, and all the family members left.

"It's okay, don't worry." Xiao Huzi comforted him: "Liangliang and the others are in the front line, you can join the line when the time comes, since you are so short, you won't be noticed."

He might as well not have said that, Xiang Chen's expression became even uglier after hearing this.He is ten years old this year, but he is growing very slowly, his face is round, and he still looks like a child.

"I grow up slowly, and I'll grow taller when I'm a teenager!" Xiang Chen said unconvinced, "Look at my brother, my uncle, who is short? I haven't started to grow yet!"

He completely ignored the fact that Song Wenbin and Xu Hengzhou had no blood relationship with him, but he was indeed not short before crossing, even though he was less than 1.8 meters, he was still 1.7 meters six.And he's only twenty, so he can still run around.

"Yes, yes, yes." Little Huzi didn't argue with him, Xiang Chen had a good temper, but when it came to his height, he had to go along with it.

"Hey, it's here. You can go to your uncle to get the tickets. I'll go and see where Liangliang and the others are." While talking, they had already arrived, and there was a long queue of people shopping.Little Huzi pushed Xiang Chen, ran in the opposite direction, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Xiang Chen found a slightly higher place, put his feet on his feet and looked in, and soon found his brother.

Xu Hengzhou was dressed in gray cotton-padded clothes and trousers, with a woolen scarf around his neck, standing quietly among the crowd.He is 17 years old this year, but there is not much youthful air left in his body. Just standing like this, he shows a different temperament from the people around him, which is very recognizable.

Xiang Chen jumped down the steps and ran over: "Brother!"

Xu Hengzhou looked over at the sound, and when Xiang Chen stood still in front of him, he immediately frowned and said, "Why are you here? You don't even wear a scarf, but where are your gloves?"

As he spoke, he took off the scarf around his neck and tied it around Xiang Chen's neck.

"Brother, wear it." Xiang Chen twisted a few times, but didn't avoid Xu Hengzhou's hand, and could only wrap around the scarf that still had his brother's body temperature on it.

Xu Hengzhou was still rambling: "What are you doing out in the cold? It's good to catch a cold. If you get sick again, you will suffer."

"Brother, I know." Xiang Chen stretched out his hand to look for the ticket in Xu Hengzhou's pocket, "Give me the ticket, and I'll go to line up too, let's go back after buying."

Xu Hengzhou dug out the oil ticket and sugar ticket from a large pile of tickets and gave it to him: "You go and buy these two, and the oil bottle is also given to you."

He took out an oil bottle from his own basket and put it into Xiang Chen's basket. After thinking for a while, he reached into the sack next to his feet and took out a small paper bag for him: "I didn't eat this morning, eat some first." Pad it."

Xiang Chen opened the paper bag, saw a few big biscuits, and immediately guessed that his brother should have just taken it out of the space.

"Have you eaten yet?" Xiang Chen asked, "How about I send some to Uncle?"

Xu Hengzhou said: "No need, we came here after eating in the morning."

"Then I'm going to line up." Xiang Chen rewrapped the paper, put it in his basket, waved to his brother, and went to find his little friend.

Just after finding two teams, he heard someone calling him: "Xiang Chen, here!"

Xiang Chen followed the sound, and it turned out to be Xiaohuzi. He and Liangliang were lined up in the same line, but they were very close to each other.He ran over and asked, Xiaohuzi's team was for non-staple food, but Liangliang's team could buy oil.

Relying on a little flexibility, Xiang Chen sneaked in, and Liangliang made room for him to stand in front of her.The adults at the back glanced at them, saw that they were two children, and didn't say anything in the end.

Xiang Chen held the basket on his arm, opened the paper bag, and then shared a piece of biscuit with the two friends, and took a piece himself and gnawed slowly.

"It's delicious." Liangliang put the oil bottle on the ground, holding the biscuit crumbs in one hand, "I ate a steamed bun this morning, and I'm starving to death."

"You still have steamed buns to eat." Little Huzi said indignantly, "I didn't eat anything in the morning, and my mother said that we would go back to have breakfast after we finished shopping."

He didn't care about tasting it, he finished the biscuit in his hand in two or threes, poured all the crumbs into his mouth, and muttered: "I'll starve to death when I get back."

"Hey, take another piece." Hearing this, Xiang Chen handed over the paper bag in his hand.

Little Huzi looked at the few biscuits left, wanted to eat but was too embarrassed to reach out, Xiang Chen didn't eat this morning, and there were not many biscuits left.

"Eat it, it's okay." Xiang Chen stretched out his hand generously, "I don't like this in the morning, I'll have dinner when I go back."

Little Huzi and Liangliang each took another piece and gnawed slowly.

"Your brother is really kind to you." Little Huzi praised Xu Hengzhou again while eating the biscuits.He came here with Xiang Chen in the morning, but he didn't bring biscuits.

Xiang Chen pursed his lips and smiled, proudly said: "My brother is the best to me, and my uncle is also good to me."

"It's not necessarily the case in the future." Liangliang interrupted suddenly.

Xiang Chen looked at him suspiciously: "What do you mean by that?"

Liangliang got closer, lowered his voice, and said, "I heard that someone from the trade union is talking to your uncle."

"Impossible!" Xiang Chen immediately retorted: "If my uncle finds someone to talk to, he will definitely tell us."

Over the past few years, as they have lived in the machinery factory for longer and longer, they have gradually integrated into this big family.As a bachelor with two children, Song Wenbin inevitably encountered all kinds of matchmaking.

Song Wenbin himself is tall and strong, with integrity, decent style, and good working ability. Although he is a little older and has two children, he is still a good son-in-law in the eyes of many people.

In the past few years, Xiang Chen met many aunts and aunts who kissed his uncle, and a few girls were in very good condition.But Song Wenbin was steadfast and refused to talk about it. Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen were afraid that it was because of the two of them that he would not talk about it, so they asked him directly to explain. Accompanied by those who know the cold and the hot.

But Song Wenbin still refused, it was useless to anyone, and Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen couldn't force him, so they had to let it go.

Therefore, if Song Wenbin really talks about a partner, it is impossible for him to hide it from his family because of his personality, so he will definitely ask his two children for their opinions first.

"Really!" Seeing that he didn't believe it, Liangliang couldn't help raising his voice: "I didn't lie to you, isn't my second brother-in-law also in the labor union? I heard what my second sister told my mother."

What he said was well-founded, and Xiang Chen was a little shaken: "Really? Why haven't I heard of it..."

"I heard that he is a newly admitted officer." Liangliang scratched his head, recalling his second sister's words: "What's your name, Ping, in her 20s..."

Xiang Chen smacked his tongue, he's in his 20s, so he must be several decades younger than his uncle?If this is true, then his uncle is old enough to eat young grass, no wonder he refuses to tell them.

"I'll go back and ask." Xiang Chen said, and then told Liangliang: "Don't tell others."

"I definitely won't say it." Liangliang raised his hand to assure, and added: "I won't let my mother say it either."

"Good brother!" Xiang Chen wanted to pat Liangliang's shoulder, but found that his arms were crossed, so he took his hand back embarrassingly.

"Hurry up." Little Huzi urged, "It's almost your turn, tickets are ready."

Xiang Chen took the oil bottle and the ticket in his hands, and when he arrived, he handed over the money, ticket, and bottle together, and quickly brought back half a bottle of oil for him.

"Wow, there is so much oil this month!" There were two people in front of Xiao Huzi, and he sighed while looking at the oil bottle in Xiang Chen's hand.

"It's the Chinese New Year." The bright ones were also finished, took the oil bottle from home, lifted it up and looked at it and said, "I don't know if my mother will give me croquettes."

Little Huzi put Chinese cabbage in his sack, and complained: "It's a good idea, how many balls can be fried with this little oil? You only eat one meal during the Chinese New Year! It would be nice to make dumplings, I I just want to eat dumplings."

Both Xiang Chen and Liang Liang helped him pack the cabbage, which was so full that the three of them had to drag it to the side after filling it, waiting for the adults to carry it.

"I'll help him carry it aside, you go buy candy first." Seeing that Xiang Chen was still holding a candy ticket, Liangliang suggested.

"Okay." Xiang Chen nodded, and said to Xiao Huzi, "If I see your family members, I'll let them come over."

After discussing it, Xiang Chen went to find the candy buying team, found several teams, and finally found it.This row was also long, Xiang Chen took a glance, but didn't see anyone he knew, so he had to be honestly at the end.

There were too many people shopping today, Xiang Chen stood still for a while, and there were many more people behind him.Xiang Chen had nothing to do, looked around, and then saw a ten-year-old girl carrying a basket to the back of his team.

"Xiaohua!" Xiang Chen quickly called her: "Here, why did you go to the back?"

Chen Xiaohua hurried over and said while running, "I didn't see you, I thought you were in another line."

Xiang Chen gave way to a seat back, Chen Xiaohua stood in, and an aunt behind said dissatisfiedly, "Why do you jump in line!"

Chen Xiaohua was not in a hurry, she smiled and said: "Auntie, my brother and I have gone astray, we are all in the same family, and we have to line up twice."

My aunt glanced at the two of them, and muttered, "The whole family... they don't look alike..."

Xiang Chen suppressed a smile, and gave her the biscuits he hadn't finished eating: "There are two more, you can eat them all." He knew that Chen Xiaohua definitely didn't eat anything in the morning.

Chen Xiaohua was not polite to him either. She had eaten a lot from Xiang Chen over the years, and had also received a lot of help from Xiang Chen. In her heart, Xiang Chen was her younger brother, and she would definitely repay him in the future.

Seeing her eating well, Xiang Chen was also very happy. He always regarded Chen Xiaohua as a little sister.

"I've already found the two books you want. When you are free, come and get them from me." Xiang Chen said.

After Chen Xiaohua finished eating the biscuits, she folded the paper and put them in the basket before replying, "I don't have time these two days. My dad said that he will go back to his hometown for the New Year this year, and he will be leaving in a few days."

"Then I'll give it to you when you come back." Xiang Chen said.After he finished speaking, he asked casually: "Are you going back this year? Your mother is willing?"

He remembered that Cai Zhen was very repulsed to go back to Chen Guoliang's hometown. When he was in the Chen family, it was said that Cai Zhen had not followed Chen Guoliang back to his hometown for the New Year for several years.

"Why don't you want to?" Chen Xiaohua sneered: "She has a son now, it's so beautiful to bring her back."

Xiang Chen suddenly realized that four years ago, Cai Zhen gave birth to a boy named... Chen Youcai.

That's right, the name Cai Zhen was chosen, the first name is Youcai, and the nickname is Sweet Potato.With money and food, Cai Zhen entrusted her best wishes for her precious son.

Since Chen Youcai was born, Cai Zhen has completely turned around. Chen Guoliang was overjoyed holding his precious son, and never mentioned the word divorce.

When Mrs. Chen received the news, she calmed down her face towards Cai Zhen, and went to the city to serve Cai Zhen's confinement in person.He also gave her half a basket of eggs he had saved to nourish her body, in case she would starve her precious grandson without milk.

Cai Zhen has been married for so many years, except for the moment when she first entered the house, when has she ever seen the old lady be so kind.At the beginning, she was flattered, but after thinking about it, she gave birth to Chen Guoliang's only son and was a great contributor to the Chen family.

As a result, his waist straightened, his head was raised high, and even his speech became a bit stiffer.As soon as Chen Guoliang changed his attitude towards her some time ago, he softened up instead, and the relationship between the Chen family and his wife became harmonious again for a while.

And there is a reason why Chen Xiaohua is so resentful now.

Chen Youcai and Chen Xiaocao, the fourth child of the Chen family, are only two years apart. They were born to the same parents, but their fates are very different.

When Chen Xiaocao was born, Cai Zhen didn't take care of her very much. She was fed several times when she was born, but later Cai Zhen ran out of milk, so she asked her older daughters to feed her all kinds of messes.The two older ones above were impatient to take care of the younger sister, only Chen Xiaohua fed her with a small spoon.

Chen Xiaohua is only five years older than Chen Xiaocao, just like a little mother.If she wanted to say who she had the deepest affection for in that family, it must be Chen Xiaocao who she took care of growing up.

When Chen Youcai was more than two years old, Chen Guoliang took his family back to his hometown in the countryside.Xiang Chen didn't know what happened that day, but later he learned about it after listening to Chen Xiaohua.

The precious grandson of the Chen family, the Chen Baogen who wanted to beat Xiang Chen back then, threw the two youngest children of Chen Guoliang's family into the big water tank at home.

Chen Guoliang and Cai Zhen were in a panic. After they fished out the child, they carried their sweet potatoes back to the city. After repeated inspections, they were sure that the child was fine. Only then did they remember that their daughters were still in the countryside.

When the person was picked up, Chen Xiaocao started to have a fever that night.Cai Zhen gave Chen Xiaocao one of the medicines that she bought at home, no matter how much Chen Xiaohua begged, she refused to send her to the hospital, and because she woke up Chen Youcai, she gave her two slaps.

Chen Xiaohua took care of her younger sister without closing her eyes all night, and secretly ran to Xiang Chen for help the next day.Song Wenbin sent the child to the hospital, and the doctor said it almost turned into pneumonia.Just like that, Cai Zhen came to quarrel with Song Wenbin, scolding him for meddling in his own business.

Fortunately, the child was cured, and Song Wenbin didn't bother to care about this kind of person.

However, not long after, Chen Xiaohua discovered that sometimes she was called Chen Xiaocao, and she acted as if she hadn't heard it.Chen Xiaohua felt uneasy, tried several times, and then secretly took her to the hospital, asking the doctor to check it.

The result was very bad, Chen Xiaocao's ears were burned out.
