ideal door

Chapter 79

The way home was tortuous. Shen Jianghe flew to the provincial capital, and then took a taxi at the provincial capital's airport before returning to the county seat.

Shen Jiangxiu and her mother Ding Qiuxiang called him, saying they were shopping for New Year's goods in the county, but they were actually welcoming him back.

"Mom, are you okay?" Shen Jianghe called his stepmother Ding Qiuxiang enthusiastically when he saw her, and bent down to look at her legs.

A few months ago, it was said that he broke his leg and was hospitalized, so he was always worried.

"Okay, okay! Thanks to the money you sent back, you see, I'm very agile now." Ding Qiuxiang couldn't stop crying when he saw him calling her so affectionate.

"Mom, why are you still crying? Brother isn't coming back, be happy." Shen Jiangxiu complained to her mother.

"I'm getting old and have shallow eye sockets. Mom is happy." Ding Qiuxiang was actually very moved by this adopted son who had no blood relationship with him, and really regarded himself as his biological mother.

"Mom, tell me what you want to buy, and I'll go buy it." Shen Jianghe was worried that his stepmother's legs would be inconvenient.

"There's nothing to buy. We have it all at home. Bacon. We also killed pigs. We have enough chickens, ducks and fish, and we can't eat all the vegetables." Ding Qiuxiang shook his head.

Shen Jianghe knew that she was afraid of spending money, and spent most of her life working with her face to the loess and her back to the sky. The word poor was the shackles around her neck.

"Mom, you take this." Shen Jianghe took out 5000 yuan from his bag and handed it to her.

"So much?! Jiang He, this mother can't afford it. It's not easy to earn money. You can keep it. I'm in the countryside, so I don't need to spend money! You're in a big city, and you have to spend money when you go out. You can keep it." !" Ding Qiuxiang just refused to accept it.

Shen Jianghe winked at Shen Jiangxiu, intending to persuade her to accept it.

"Mom, this is my brother's wish, just accept it."

"Mom, I'm a director now, and I can earn a lot of money."

"What is a director?"

"It's the boss."

"Jiang He, are you promising? Are you the boss?"

Shen Jianghe nodded and said, "Mom, I bought a house in Suicheng."

"Buy a house? Jiang He, it will cost a lot of money, you have to learn it well." During this year, Ding Qiuxiang couldn't believe that he made money so fast.

"Mom, don't worry, I earned it all by hard work. It costs 30 yuan to buy a house. When I finish decorating the house, I will take you, grandpa and Jiang Xiu over." This is Shen Jianghe's greatest wish. When the family is together, they may lose the idea of ​​wandering outside.

But he didn't dare to say it was a mortgage loan, lest she worry again.

"30?!" Ding Qiuxiang opened her eyes wide. This is an astronomical figure for her, and she dare not even think about it.

"Your son earns a lot of money in a big company. Don't worry. When the time comes, the new house will be decorated. There will be one for grandpa, one for you, and one for Jiangxiu. The house is big and has four rooms."

When Shen Jianghe bought the house, he planned it out.

"And mine?"

"You are my mother, yes, there must be!"

Ding Qiuxiang burst into tears again.

"Mom, let's be happy. My brother has earned money. You have to keep the money when you become a leader." Shen Jiangxiu said, wiped her tears, and stuffed the money into the bag in her hand.

"So much money, will it be stolen by thieves?" Ding Qiuxiang walked a few steps, touched the bag in his hand, and said that he would feel at ease when he touched the wad of money.

Shen Jianghe looked a little sad, maybe his stepmother had never touched so much money at one time in her life, and old Shen was in charge of the family's money.

"You walk all the way and talk all the way, so you won't be afraid of thieves overhearing you." Shen Jiangxiu scolded her mother.

Only then did Ding Qiuxiang stop talking, but she still took a few steps to touch the money, for fear of losing it.

Worry about having money, worry about not having money.

"Let's go, let's go to the mall to buy clothes first." Shen Jianghe wanted to buy some new clothes for the mother, daughter and grandpa. Judging by what they were wearing, they should have not bought clothes for several years. Some places are still patched, as if they are still alive In the seven 80s.

Ding Qiuxiang and Shen Jiangxiu insisted on not wanting to, saying that it was fine to dress warmly, but Shen Jianghe also said bad things, so the mother and daughter agreed.

It took a lot of effort to buy a head-to-toe set for Ding Qiuxiang, including shoes, socks, scarf and hat.

When Shen Jiangxiu was trying on clothes for her mother, Shen Jianghe saw Shen Jiangxiu's hands, and suddenly felt sad.

Those hands were callused, wrinkled like the hands of an old man, and there were a few cracks, a little bit of blood oozing.

He knew that without these hands, he would not even be able to complete his university studies, let alone his own present.

But she is about the same age as Lin Ximeng, but she looks more than ten years older than Lin Ximeng.

Under his hard and soft tactics, he insisted on buying two sets of clothes for the mother and daughter, and another two sets for the grandfather.

"Just go back dressed like this, and let people see that you have a son, who would dare to underestimate you after seeing it." Shen Jianghe now felt like returning home in good clothes.

The mother and daughter are poor and humble in the family, and they dare not even speak loudly to others.

With the large and small bags in his hand, it was inconvenient to take a passenger bus, so Shen Jianghe called a taxi.

Ding Qiuxiang heard him calling her affectionately from left to right, mother to right, and tears never stopped, knowing that her son could not be restrained, no objection, and everything was arranged by him.

This was the first time for Ding Qiuxiang and Shen Jiangxiu to ride in a car, and they felt nervous and uncomfortable. Shen Jianghe held his stepmother's hand in one hand and Shen Jiangxiu's in the other, trying to make the mother and son feel at ease.

Back in the town, Ding Qiuxiang was motion sick. She said she didn't want to sit anymore, so she got out of the car and vomited on the side of the road for a long time before she came to her senses.

His heart was always sour, in order to pick him up, he insisted on going to the city despite his motion sickness.

Shen Jianghe and Shen Jiangxiu hugged Ding Qiuxiang home, one on the left and the other on the right. The home was still in a village two kilometers away.

"My son is back."

Every time she met a person, she looked at Ding Qiuxiang's mother and daughter when they saw their well-dressed appearance, she said proudly.

"My son is back."

He didn't know how many times his stepmother said it, it made him want to cry.

When they got home, the mother and daughter took off the new clothes, folded them carefully, and put on the coarse cloth clothes they usually wear.

Shen Jianghe's grandfather is over 90 years old. Apart from his back ears, he has a strong body and can walk like flying even if he carries water.

Since he was a child, Lao Shen disregarded his family, and he had a feeling of resistance to his stepmother at that time. He grew up with his grandfather. In his eyes, his grandfather can be said to be everything to him. However, now he still has his stepmother and this unrelated child in his heart. The younger sister Shen Jiangxiu.

"I don't lack anything, why are you buying these?" Grandpa also felt sorry for him spending money.It is said that every new year and festival, the leaders of the county will send condolence money and condolences.

This is a courtesy only for seniors over the age of 90.

Hearing that Shen Jianghe was back, his half-sister Shen Jiangli ran back as soon as she could, still wearing a deceitful outfit. She must have gone to play tricks with Old Shen again.

"Shen Jianghe!" Shen Jiangli didn't call him brother anymore after doing such inconsequential things with Old Shen.

"If you don't skin your body, I'll break your legs if you dare to enter the house!" Shen Jianghe pointed at her. He couldn't bear the appearance of the father and daughter.

It would have been great if he had really debuted. I don't know where I got this outfit, but when I put it on, it was like being possessed by a god, and my mouth was full of nonsense.

"You dare to kill me! When my dad comes back, let's see if you still dare?!" Shen Jiangli really didn't dare to enter the door, and shouted outside the door.

"Jiang He, don't talk to her, she won't listen to you, so don't get angry." Ding Qiuxiang came out and said something.

When he came back this time, he just wanted to rule the father and daughter, and he couldn't let them mess around.

This year is a good New Year. He looked at his home and planned to go to the town to buy some things. After the new year, relatives will come to pay New Year's greetings, but there is nothing to entertain guests.

He had to let his stepmother and Shen Jiangxiu have a decent and happy year.

"Jiang Xiu, go shopping in the town with brother." Some things at home are mainly handled by her.

"Brother, no need."

"Let's go." Shen Jianghe pulled her.

"Shen Jianghe, don't forget, I am your real sister!" Shen Jiangli shouted from the side.

Shen Jianghe picked up a stick, Shen Jiangli saw that the situation was not good, turned around and ran away, Shen Jianghe chased after her, making her scream in fright.

"Brother, stop chasing her. If you beat her, she will have to settle accounts with her mother." Shen Jiangxiu called him from behind.

Only then did he stop, and Shen Jiangli ran away without a trace.

"Catch the thief first and capture the king", he still has to settle accounts with old Shen, as long as old Shen is brought under control, Shen Jiangli will naturally be honest.

The brothers and sisters walked around the town, filled a tricycle with couplets, firecrackers, fireworks, melon seeds, peanuts, fruit candies, liquor and beer, and the owner of the shop brought them back.

"Why did you spend so much money?!" Ding Qiuxiang complained, but she was very happy in her heart. This was the first time she bought so many things since she got married. But it is difficult for ordinary families to buy such a complete set.

As soon as he put his things in order, Old Shen came back, followed by Shen Jiangli who was a bit swaggeringly arrogant.

"came back?"

When Lao Shen saw Shen Jianghe, he just said something symbolically.

"You bloody bitch, the days are numbered? I think you're itchy again." Old Shen saw Ding Qiuxiang killing chickens and ducks, and laid them out in the yard.

"What do you want to do?!" Shen Jianghe saw that Old Shen was trying to get rough, walked over and stood in front of him, asked aloud, and looked at him seriously.

It was the first time for Lao Shen to see his son like this, and he immediately understood that his son had grown up, and his words had weight in this family.

"Look, how much does it cost?" Old Shen's voice weakened significantly.

"Have you ever given a penny to the family? You don't know where these things come from?!" Shen Jianghe took a step forward.

Looking at his tall and strong son, Old Shen felt timid.

"Old Shen, if you dare to beat and scold my mother and Jiang Xiu in the future, just try it!" Shen Jianghe took another step forward.

Old Shen was discouraged all of a sudden, and walked away dejectedly.

Friends who have played together since childhood heard that Shen Jianghe is back, and they came to see him one after another. Before, the house was poor, and they just talked together. This time, they have everything, and Shen Jianghe warmly entertained him.

The usually deserted yard suddenly became lively, which hadn't been seen for many years.

Ding Qiuxiang was very happy in her heart, this is what every family should look like, and it has the atmosphere of Chinese New Year.She has been smiling happily from ear to ear, and together with Shen Jiangxiu, entertained everyone with good wine and good food.

"My brother got rich?" Only then did Shen Jiangli realize that she was different now, she was a snobby, and started calling him brother in front of Shen Jiangxiu.

"I don't know, you can ask brother yourself." Shen Jiangxiu was only busy with herself.

Shen Jianghe told her not to tell Lao Shen that he became a director and made money to buy a house, so that the father and daughter would not be distracted.

Shen Jiangli didn't dare to ask when she saw that he had made old Shen so temperless.

It wasn't until the night was quiet that the three friends and four friends gradually dispersed.

Shen Jianghe sat in the firehouse with his grandfather to enjoy the fire. He liked to be with his grandfather. Even if he didn't speak, he could only feel calm when he listened to the sound of burning wood.

"Grandpa, take good care of your health at home. You can live to be at least a hundred years old. After a while, I'll take you to take a plane and go to Suicheng to have fun."

Shen Jianghe was afraid that his grandfather would not hear him, so he spoke very loudly.

"Why live so long? It's boring to live. I just hope to see you get married before I die, and I'll be satisfied if I hug my great-grandson." This is Grandpa's greatest expectation.

When Shen Jianghe started college, his grandfather always talked about it.

"Grandpa, you are in good health, you will see." Shen Jianghe said, took out 1000 yuan from his pocket, and stuffed it to him, "You take this, and you can buy anything you want."

"What do I want money for? I don't want it!" Grandpa declined.

"Here, you just take it, what can you do if you don't have any money!" Shen Jianghe stuffed the money into his grandfather's pocket.

Old Shen was not good to Ding Qiuxiang, but he managed to get along with his grandfather, healed his sickness, and kept his grandfather fed and clothed.

"Why did you give him the money?" Old Shen walked into the fire room when he heard the voice. His voice was not loud, so grandpa probably couldn't hear him.

"Okay, old Shen, when you get old and can't make any money, I won't give you any money either. It depends on whether you have dignity in living."

Shen Jianghe scolded him.

Old Shen was stunned for a moment.

"What? Are you scared? Don't worry, I will treat my father the same way you treat your father. Like a father, like a son." Shen Jianghe took him into the army.

Only then did Old Shen truly feel that his son had grown up and dared to speak to him like this, and he couldn't even find any reason to retort or get angry.

"Also, old Shen, put away your deceiving tricks!" Shen Jianghe has already heard a lot about him, "Another point, if you dare to say nothing about grandpa in the future, I will find you endlessly."

Shen Jianghe heard that the old Shen preached everywhere that the older generation lived longer and would shorten the lifespan of the descendants, which made him angry.

"You have to understand that the longevity gene is inherited. The longer your grandfather lives, the longer your life may be."

Shen Jianghe was worried that these words of old Shen would reach his grandfather's ears, and things would be troublesome.

Grandpa once said to Shen Jianghe many times, if you get married and have children, and I see my great-grandson, I should close my eyes. Grandpa said many times that he is tired of life.Old Shen's words may also make grandpa stop living.

The old man was silent.

"Old Shen, I will give you three chapters today. First, treat my grandfather better; second, treat my mother and Jiang Xiu kindly; third, let Shen Jiangli learn well."

Shen Jianghe deliberately raised his voice so that his grandfather could hear him.

"As for your crap, I don't want to take care of it, and I can't take care of it, but you have to listen carefully. If you commit another crime, you will go to jail. Don't let me take care of it. You can do it yourself!"

Shen Jianghe's tone was very stern, just to warn him that if he didn't follow the right path, he could sever the relationship between father and son, and he had lived alone with his grandpa, stepmother and Shen Jiangxiu, so he would not recognize him as his father.

Of course, Shen Jianghe would not be so unfeeling, he just told him not to step on the red line.

"That's all I have to say, this year our family will be together and have a good year!" Shen Jianghe knew that his words had worked.

Old Shen stood beside him without saying a word, his face was very ugly, he didn't have the guts to compete with his only son now, that's why he felt that he was getting old.

On the day of the reunion, Shen Jianghe still respectfully toasted according to the etiquette his grandfather had taught him.

Old Shen understands what his son means, don't toast or eat fine wine.
