Mixed in 1980

Chapter 419 News
Chen Yanyin stared in astonishment, her mouth agape. "Second brother, have you got some nerve?"
Mistaking someone for someone else is nothing, the problem is what you did while you were apologizing – flirting, hugging, or even kissing – do you dare to say that out loud?

Ye Ling is your violent sister-in-law!
Before she could react, she heard her second brother yell "Ouch!" and squat down, clutching his eyes and screaming in pain.

"Serves you right!" Chen Yanyin said with a wry smile.

Seeing that Ye Ling was about to kick him again, she quickly went up and took his arm, saying, "Ah Ling, don't pay attention to him, calm down, let's make some tea."

Ye Wan was both amused and exasperated, and helped her boyfriend up with a pained expression: "Why did you provoke her? Let me see, oh dear, you have bruises. Ah Ling too, she doesn't know her own strength."

Chen Yanjin gasped, "It's my fault for being so talkative. I just wanted to tease her, but who knew... sigh, even though we're born of the same mother, our tempers are so different."

"It must have come out later, it was holding its breath in my mother-in-law's belly."

"You jerk!" Ye Wan slapped him.

He turned to the nanny and told her to boil an egg: "Go inside and rest first. I'll apply it to you later, otherwise this bruise won't go away for three to five days."

When he got to the living room, all the elders were there. They looked at his dark circles and burst into laughter. Xu Jinqiu teased, "Finally, someone can handle you."

"Mom, I'm your own son!"

Chen Yanjin covered his eyes, his face dark: "It's been more than a month since we last met, and you haven't missed your son at all, but you're just trying to make fun of me."

Xu Jinqiu chuckled and said disdainfully, "Why would I miss you? You've always been a troublemaker since you were little. It's much quieter when you're not home."

"..." Chen Yanjin's lips twitched slightly.

Grandma once said that her personality was perfectly inherited from you two, without the slightest deviation. If you dislike me, you might as well dislike yourself.

Xu Jinqiu ignored her son and instead doted on her daughter-in-law, acting just like Guan Yuemei back then: doting on her daughter-in-law and disliking her own son.

After chatting for a while, Xu Jinqiu turned to her son and said, "Tomorrow, Lao San's future father-in-law and mother-in-law are coming to Beijing. Go and pick them up."

Chen Yanjin pointed to his bruised eye: "Do you think this is appropriate?"

Xu Jinqiu laughed again: "It's really not suitable. Looking like this, it would be embarrassing for you to go. Let your older sister go instead."

As he spoke, he looked at his eldest daughter.

Chen Yanxi nodded in agreement, then asked, "How about accommodation? Should we put you in a hotel, or do you want us to prepare a courtyard for you?"

"Let's tidy up the yard."

Xu Jinqiu took a sip of tea: "Their family is worried about Xiao Lu and wants to visit her at home. Living closer will make communication easier and allow them to understand her thoroughly."

As Cao Xiufeng packed her luggage, she said, "Yancheng has been staying at our house for a few days. He's a really good kid. He's very generous in his actions and words."

Gao Yalou crossed his legs and smoked a cigarette: "I don't deny that. He has a good temper. If his family is easy to get along with, he would be perfect."

"It's their family... how should I put it, his father married three wives, I wonder if this kid will follow suit?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xiufeng frowned.

Although I had heard Chen Yancheng talk about the emotional entanglements between his parents, which I could barely explain as having a reason, I still couldn't help but worry.

Everyone says that parents are the best teachers for their children, but I'm afraid Chen Yancheng will learn this trick: "Let's go and see, Yancheng doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives."

Gao Yalou nodded slightly.

That makes sense. If Little Sis had that kind of mindset, and revealed his identity as the Crown Prince of Feixing, wouldn't a bunch of women be throwing themselves at him? Would he still be single?
Moreover, his family is far more complex than that.

Feixing mobile phones, Xinghuo real estate, Chinatown supermarket... In recent days, Gao Yalou has been hearing about the Chen family's businesses from his daughter from time to time, and he can't help but gasp in amazement.

How big of an industry is that?
Sometimes he wondered how someone could accumulate so much wealth when they were all from the same era, and the reform and opening up had only been going on for about thirty years.

After composing themselves and getting some rest for the night, the couple packed their luggage and some local specialties for the Chen family and boarded a plane to Beijing.

As I exited the arrival gate, I saw Chen Yanxi.

The couple were both amazed. Just as their daughter had said, Chen Yancheng's sister was very beautiful, the kind of beauty that could make someone feel inferior.

"Uncle, Auntie, you must be tired from the flight."

Chen Yanxi walked over quickly and took the luggage from Cao Xiufeng: "Why don't we find a place nearby to rest for a while before setting off?"

Warm and considerate!
Cao Xiufeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her daughter was right; the Chen family wouldn't be difficult to get along with: "No need to rest, I haven't been sitting for long."

As she spoke, she enthusiastically took Chen Yanxi's arm: "Xiao Lu has always said that you are so beautiful that it makes her feel inferior. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Chen Yanxi led the group towards the parking lot: "Aunt Cao, you're too kind. Xiao Lu is also very beautiful and has a great temperament. Our third son is lucky to have such a good daughter."

After some mutual flattery, they arrived at the parking lot. Chen Yanxi invited everyone to get in the car, which was a minivan, and it was quite spacious for five people.

It took quite a while to get back to Ya'er Hutong. We stopped at courtyard number 22, put our luggage away, and then led the group to courtyard number 16. I had already sent a message home before setting off.

Chen Fan and his three wives were already waiting at the door, and warmly welcomed Mr. and Mrs. Gao into the living room. Upon seeing this, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.

The Chen family's enthusiasm is genuine.

They don't have the haughty attitude of wealthy and powerful families, which is reassuring; my daughter won't be bullied after marrying into the family.

Here, I also saw Ye Wan.

Before setting off, Gao Lu introduced Ye Wan, saying that she came from an ordinary family and that Ye Wan was very comfortable in this home.

The same goes for my own daughter.

This shows that the Chen family had no prejudice against different social classes.

When talking about this, Chen Fan couldn't help but make a self-deprecating joke: "It's only been about thirty years since the reform and opening up. Who didn't come from a working-class or peasant background? What kind of social class is this?"

"Back when I was sent to work in Saihanba, I was eating sand on the dam every day. When the educated youth finally returned to the city, guess what? I couldn't find a job."

“In Beijing, people like us are called ‘alleyway folks,’ which sounds better than terms like ‘tough guys’ or ‘old punks.’”

Upon hearing this, Gao Yalou was speechless.

In the local Beijing dialect, the future in-laws are quite poor, and they even make fun of themselves, which makes them easy to get along with.

Reassured by this, Gao Yalou continued the conversation, saying, "We're the same."

Chen Fan took out a cigarette and handed it to Gao Yalou: "Back then, everything was the same. Looking back now, it's like two different worlds."

Gao Yalou took the cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag: "That's right. When I first returned to the city, I always felt like I had been taken advantage of and hurt, and I was quite self-destructive."

"Back then, I was particularly fascinated by scar literature and critical literature. It wasn't until the book 'The Most Beautiful Youth' came out that many similar novels emerged in the literary world, and people's views gradually changed."

“When we go to the countryside, we don’t fail to make contributions or gain anything. Why do we always struggle with hardship? Looking back now, we’ve overcome it all.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan's expression turned somewhat strange.

Chen Yancheng touched his nose, leaned close to Gao Lu's ear and whispered something. Gao Lu was slightly taken aback, glared at her boyfriend, and then said to her father, "Dad, the most beautiful youth was written by Uncle Chen."

"What did you say?" Gao Yalou was stunned.

Gao Lu sighed and repeated, "The most beautiful youth was written by Uncle Chen. It was made into a TV series back then, and you watched it all the time. It was also invested in by Uncle Chen."

Gao Yalou slapped his forehead: "Author Chen Fan, are you that Chen Fan?"

Chen Fan touched his nose and chuckled awkwardly, "Back then, I couldn't find a job when I returned to the city, so I had no choice but to write something to earn some money to make a living."

Gao Yalou smiled wryly: "I didn't expect to meet you in person today. You're too modest. In the first five years of the 1980s, there was no writer more popular than you."

“Especially your collection of editorials, which were loved by young people at the time.”

“When I was setting up a stall on the street, I often encountered people who took advantage of their age and tried to morally blackmail me. I would fight back with the content of the book, and it was really satisfying to argue with them.”

"Stop embarrassing yourself." Cao Xiufen said irritably.

She glared at her husband and teased, "Others make money by being harmonious in business, but you're different. You argue with a bunch of old men and women every day. Aren't you ashamed?"

Listening to the adults chatting, Gao Lu was a little confused.

Pulling Chen Yancheng aside, she said, "Uncle Chen is a writer, why didn't you tell me?"

"I forgot!" Chen Yancheng said sullenly.

Gao Lu gritted her teeth: "You're really something. According to my dad, Uncle Chen is very famous in the literary world? Find me a few of Uncle Chen's works to read later."

……

In Minxia, ​​Zhou Jingshu was having dinner with Chen Yanche. Zhou Jingshu was basically taking care of Chen Yanche. This was only when they were out. If they were at home, Chen Yanche would definitely get a beating.

Just as Zhou Jingshu was putting food into her younger brother's bowl, her phone suddenly rang. She pressed the answer button and it was a volunteer from the Baby Come Home website calling.

After hearing what the volunteer said, Zhou Jingshu was stunned.

Is there any news?

Should she be happy or cry? Zhou Jingshu suddenly didn't know what to do, or even how to reply to the volunteers.
