I practice the Tao by blind practice

Chapter 235: Seeing Parents

Liuyuan County, Wenchangge Community, near the entrance, inside a grocery store of [-] to [-] square meters.

Chen Zhonghua, Jiang Meixian and two people sat on both sides of a small table in the shop.

A plate of stir-fried pork with green peppers, a plate of stir-fried beans, and a plate of pickled vegetables have been placed on the table for a long time.

However, Chen Zhonghua and his wife didn't move their chopsticks, they just sat next to each other.

"Meixian, are you sure Xiao Hai came back today? Did you remember the correct time?"

Chen Zhonghua's stomach growled with hunger.

These days, supplies are relatively scarce, and most people don't have much food in their stomachs, so they are not very hungry at all.

His wife, Jiang Meixian, manages the small shop here, while Chen Zhonghua himself can't stay idle, pulling a cart, looking for money around the county.

Helping people drag some furniture, or other big things, selling some strength, hard work is hard work, but after a day, more or less, he can still earn a few dollars!

Knowing that his son Chen Hai would come back today, he specially accepted an early job.

He was hungry very fast after doing this kind of strenuous work, and he had already prepared dinner for a long time, but Chen Hai never came back.

Chen Zhonghua, who had been sitting here for a long time, was already dizzy from hunger!
"Hmm! I definitely remember the call Xiaohai made to me."

"Master, don't worry, wait a little longer, he should be back soon!"

"It's thousands of miles from the capital to Liuyuan County. Xiao Hai must be exhausted when he comes back. I can't. Let him eat some leftovers!"

Giving her man a supercilious look, Jiang Meixian laughed.

The mother who traveled thousands of miles with her son was worried. Knowing that her son would come back today, she was in a very good mood, and a smile almost appeared on her face.

"Okay, since it's confirmed that Xiao Hai is coming back today, then wait a little longer!"

After swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, Chen Zhonghua, who was really hungry and a little panicked, ran to the side, drank a few ladles of cold boiled water, and his stomach felt a little better.

"Meixian, how is the business in the store today?"

"It's so-so. I made a rough estimate. After this day, we should be able to earn about ten yuan. The shop is our own, and the money we earn is pure income."

"That's okay. I dragged the scooter and worked outside for a day, and I only made seven or eight yuan!"

"Seven or eight yuan is a lot. If we keep this momentum, we can earn more than five hundred in a month. Compared with farming, our income is much higher than that!"

"Xiaohai asked us to buy a house and shop and live in the county. At first, I was worried for a long time. I was afraid that if we lost the land, we would have no work and starvation. It's Xiaohai who is more powerful, and his eyes are farther than ours! "

"That's right, Xiao Hai is a college student. His vision is beyond comparison to us!"

……

Small talk is also a way to distract attention.

Chen Zhonghua, Jiang Meixian and his wife were chatting, and soon they talked about their son Chen Hai.

As soon as Chen Hai was mentioned, they felt a sense of pride in their hearts. Even their growling stomachs seemed to them to be less hungry!

'Creak...' It is called a slow-moving human tricycle, and the sound of the brakes is a bit harsh.

At the entrance of the Wenchang Pavilion community, the slow-moving car that had just stopped attracted the attention of Chen Zhonghua and Jiang Meixian who were chatting.

In fact, knowing that their son Chen Hai would come back today, as long as they saw Slowly You parked nearby, they would poke their heads out of the store and take a few glances outside.

It's just that, from [-] o'clock in the afternoon until now, their heads have been poked out dozens of times, and the results of each time have made them a little disappointed.

"Xiao Hai, it's Xiao Hai who's back!" This time, the couple did not continue to be disappointed.

When seeing Chen Hai coming out of Slow Tour, like Jiang Meixian with springs under her body, she jumped up from the chair and greeted him cheerfully.

As for Chen Zhonghua, after adjusting his clothes, he also got out of the grocery store.

He followed Jiang Meixian unhurriedly, seemingly calm and calm, but how was he feeling?Certainly only he himself knows.

"Xiao Hai..." Almost trotting, Jiang Meixian walked to the side of the slow swimming car, and only had time to say hello to Chen Hai. The next moment, she was a little dumbfounded.

"Qingqing, this is my mother, that is my father!"

Looking at Jiang Meixian in shock, Chen Hai smiled and introduced to Ye Qingqing.

"Auntie, Uncle, hello, my name is Ye Qingqing, I'm Chen Hai's girlfriend!"

Although she was a little nervous, Ye Qingqing was still generous, and greeted Chen Zhonghua, Jiang Meixian and the other two.

"Hello, hello, come, let me help you with your luggage!"

Jiang Meixian, who had already reacted, quickly took the suitcase in Ye Qingqing's hand.

As for the backpack in Chen Hai's hand, she was too lazy to take care of it!

This kid didn't tell his family in advance when he brought his girlfriend back?Jiang Meixian didn't kick him twice, she was giving him face, she wanted her to help Chen Hai with luggage, there was no way...

"Girl, where are you from?"

"East Guangdong."

"That's a good place. It's not too far from our Xiangnan. The girl next to you, you are so handsome..."

"Are you and my family, Xiao Hai, classmates? Are you exhausted after coming from Kyoto? That child, Xiao Hai, didn't even notify the family in advance, and didn't even prepare a few dishes. You sit down first, and I'll heat up the dishes."

"Auntie, I'm studying at Huaqing University. I'm not a classmate with Chen Hai. We just met by chance..."

Jiang Meixian's face was full of enthusiasm. When she saw her new daughter-in-law coming to her door, she was so attentive that she even threw her son aside and didn't ask any questions.

Inside the store, there is only such a big place.

It was already very crowded when the pot was turned on and the guys were cooking. The four of them ran into it, trying to find a place to stay, but it was already hard to find.

Jiang Meixian ran to heat the dishes, Ye Qingqing naturally followed to help.

Chen Hai and Chen Zhonghua didn't go in at all, just outside the shop, talking in a low voice.

"You boy, that's right. I went to the capital to study for half a year, and then I kidnapped a daughter-in-law back. She is worthy of being my son, Chen Zhonghua, who can catch up with my demeanor back then!"

He took out a pack of ghost fights, Chen Zhonghua took out one and lighted it for himself, he said cheerfully with a stinking face.

"Dad, what do you mean I kidnapped a daughter-in-law back? Qingqing and I are really planning to get married in two years!"

"I brought her back just to let you meet each other and get mentally prepared."

"In addition, Qingqing's parents hope that you can go to Yangcheng in eastern Guangdong. What they mean is to get engaged before officially getting married."

……

In front of Chen Zhonghua, Chen Hai roughly told her about the engagement.

"Engagement? How about an engagement?"

"On our side, before we get married, there is only a saying of getting married. Xiao Hai, is the engagement you mentioned similar to the meaning of getting married?"

Chen Zhonghua asked with a confused face.

"This... I don't know too well, it should be about the same!" Scratching the back of his head, Chen Hai explained.

When it comes to marriage, customs vary from place to place.

Generally speaking, the more remote a small place is, the more various etiquettes are. In big cities, such etiquette things are simplified a lot, and they are no longer paid much attention to.

"Okay, about the engagement, tonight, I'll discuss it with your mother!"

"Going to the east of Guangdong? Although it's a bit far away, it's not a big problem for me and your mother. She wants us to go there, so we can go there!"

"By the way, how is the family's condition on the woman's side? As for the bride price, they won't catch us and want to make a lot of money, right?"

"Your mother and I have just established ourselves in the county seat, and the money you left us is just over 1 yuan."

"I hope people won't open their mouths too much, otherwise, if we need too much money, we really won't be able to get it out for a while!"

While chatting, Chen Zhonghua suddenly mentioned this matter, and he suddenly became worried.

In terms of appearance, among the stars on TV, there are not many who are more beautiful than their new wife. Of course, he is very satisfied with this.

However, judging from the attire and temperament of his son Chen Hai's girlfriend, he can be sure that this girl was definitely not born in a poor family.

What if he was born in a wealthy family?Can such a girl, an ordinary family like them, afford to marry?
Thinking of this, Chen Zhonghua didn't want to be worried or not.

"Dad, you and Mom don't have to worry about money."

"Qingqing's family background is indeed very extraordinary. Even if it's just an engagement, our family must not be poor."

"You and Mom went to East Guangdong, and when you discussed with Uncle Ye and others about my marriage with Qingqing, do whatever you want, don't be afraid to spend money."

"Because of the engagement, I have prepared 500 million. As long as the money spent is within this value, all problems will definitely not be a problem!"

The words are not surprising, Chen Hai said with a smile.

Went to Haojiang for a trip, and the money he brought back was nearly 600 million after being exchanged into Yanhuang coins.

Spending 500 million on his own engagement is indeed within the acceptable range for him.

"What? Xiao Hai, how much money did you say you prepared..." Chen Zhonghua on the side trembled when he heard this number.

Worried that he heard it wrong, he quickly opened his mouth and confirmed it to Chen Hai.

"Dad, you heard me right, I just prepared 500 million for the engagement."

Chen Hai didn't think it was strange that his father would have such a reaction. He nodded with certainty and responded.

"You're in Kyoto, aren't you studying? Where did you get so much money?"

"Xiao Hai, you don't mean to tell me that you robbed the bank, right?" Chen Zhonghua asked, looking directly at his son.

"Dad, don't worry, my money came in a dignified way."

"A few days ago, I went to Haojiang, wandered around in the casino, and won it!"

Shrugging, Chen Hai said with a smile.
