Grandma Chen liked Xia Ye very much. Because it was the first time I met, she
gave Xia Ye a big red envelope. Xia Ye didn't understand this. Chen Suling
nodded and asked him to accept it. He thanked the old lady for accepting it,
and when he went out, he just stuffed it. Go to Tang Jinyu's pocket.
When eating at night, Tang Jinyu stayed next to her elder brother. Xia Ye
would eat a little bit more with the children. Grandma Chen kept watching them
carefully and saw that Xia Ye took care of them so well. The children didn’t
have to say anything when they ate, and he caught the dishes in advance with
one look. In the bowl, the old man couldn't help being relieved.
In fact, Grandma Chen guessed wrong, and all the children eat what Xia Ye
clamps. Vegetables and meat are not picked, and everything is delicious.
In the evening, Grandma Chen took Xia Ye to pay respect to the statue of
Guanyin upstairs.
Tang Jinyu took Xia Ye's hand and went over. The old lady lighted incense to
Xia Ye, and Xia Ye worshipped Xia Ye earnestly as she followed her.
Grandma Chen put her hands together and said sincerely: "May our family be
safe and well, and everything goes well."
When the worship was over, the old lady took them downstairs to drink tea and
chat. As soon as they walked to the second floor, they rushed to Pei Yun who
came here to deliver things.
Pei Yun was holding a thin quilt in her hand, and looked at the old lady with
a smile: "Mom, I'm here to send you a new quilt, isn't it a guest, do you
think this is suitable?"
The old lady smiled and said, "It's appropriate, just this one."
Pei Yun was about to deliver it to the guest room, and the old lady said to
her: "No, you can let Ono hold it by yourself. He is a junior, so you can do
it yourself. You are tired after a busy day. Go back and rest, oh yes Yes,
Deqing has just been picked up by her second child, so you can find them."
Pei Yun did not leave, and helped the old man go downstairs. She was close,
smelling a scent of sandalwood on the tip of her nose, and her eyes fell
silent.
The old lady took out the photo album, greeted the two grandsons to come and
watch together, and turned her arms around Tang Jinyu, "Come and see Ono, have
you seen this one?"
Xia Ye leaned over and took a look. It was a photo of his brother sitting in a
children's chair eating. He was about five years old.
Grandma Chen watched with him and smiled and said, "This is when Xiaoyu just
learned to eat on his own, so a little old man, when we ate, Xiaoyu and his
grandfather still held him on the small coffee table. What to eat with the
small bowl, behave!"
Xia Ye's eyes fell on the photo and said: "Xiaoyu is obedient."
The grandfather and grandchildren were looking at the photos, Pei Yun was not
in the mood to accompany them to look at them, and after a while, he sat up
and left.
In the courtyard outside, Chen Wenqian was walking over with her little son,
and saw her smile and said: "I'm looking for you, let's go, let's go home
together."
The Chen family has been in business for many years, and the family has a
solid foundation. The eldest in the family is the two elderly people. Grandma
Chen and his wife and children have been in a good relationship for half a
lifetime. The old woman is kind to others and does not require her son and
daughter-in-law to move over like other families. Live together and let them
go out alone.
The Chen family is in charge of the foreign and the female in charge of
internal and external business dealings. Except for the money to be used for
business, the rest of the money in the family can only be used after applying
with his wife. In a sense, the Chen family It is the old lady who really holds
the financial power.
Mr. Chen has set an example, and several younger generations in the family
have learned the same way, and have special respect for the old lady.
The two daughters don’t need to say much. The second son Chen Wenqian who is
next to him takes good care of the old man. Although his daughter-in-law Pei
Jun is a little cautious, she is a little awkward in her heart from time to
time, but she doesn’t dare to tell the truth. In front of him, he was honest,
and couldn't make any tricks.
Pei Yun took two steps, taking advantage of the lack of people on the road,
and making a careful eye again. He couldn't help but whispered: "Mom let
outsiders go upstairs today."
Chen Wenqian said, "Go to the quiet room?"
"Well, never let outsiders come near before."
"You're talking about Xia Ye? He's not an outsider. The Xia family and the
little sister's family (guanguan) are tied together like a family, and it
doesn't get in the way." Chen Wenqian smiled, "Moreover, it was a dowry
brought by my mother. The ancestral house invited her to come here, bless her
with both children. Look, don’t we go to worship too, this is not our family
also has children."
Pei Yun still felt a little uncomfortable. She was the daughter-in-law of the
Chen family, and she followed the first and fifteenth days of the first and
fifteenth day of the new year. The old lady made an exception today.
Chen Wenqian was so careless about these little things, he didn't care at all,
and didn't notice her thoughts at all.
Pei Yun said again, "When I was asked to clean up the guest room today, the
little girl was still watching. There was a small leather suitcase like a
baby. I personally brought it down for fear that I might be broken. I told
her. Be careful, she doesn't believe me either."
Chen Wenqian said: "She definitely didn't say that."
Pei Yun was a little unwilling, but still said: "Yes, she said Shen, just
mention it by yourself, so I won't be affected."
Chen Wenqian glanced at her and sighed, "Since the little girl has said so,
wouldn't it be fine if you appreciate it?"
There was a string of small lanterns on the small road outside, extending from
the old house of the Chen family to the gate of the community, shining
brightly. Xiao Deqing looked out from his father’s arms and laughed when he
saw his mother. Rice grains with small teeth.
Pei Yun was a little sad, stroking the child's collar, she whispered: "As long
as they are on the cusp of the old lady's heart, we are so good in Deqing, she
doesn't look at it much..."
Chen Wenqian said, "Mom is not good to Deqing? How can there be good things
without him."
Pei Yun thought to himself, that was just a split, originally those should be
his own sons. She hasn’t changed her mind about boys for so many years, and
she has done very well at other times. This obsession makes Mrs. Chen unhappy.
The more she wants to fight, the more the old man refuses to give it because
of this (guanguan) relationship. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have
not become closer for many years.
Chen Wenqian turned off the topic and said something interesting at today's
banquet.
Pei Yun was thinking about the old lady's eccentricity, and now I heard that
he couldn't help but said sadly: "Isn't Mom too noisy outside? Now I have put
the banquet at home..."
Chen Wenqian said, "What did your family say to you again?"
Pei Jun shook his head and said nothing.
Chen Wenqian said bluntly: "If you hear anything next time, just ask them
face-to-face if you have any questions. Parents spend their money and they are
happy. The old man should not give it to us. I will make money from our
family. Can't I still support you?"
Seeing that he was angry, Pei Yun didn't dare to talk about this topic
anymore, but Chen Wenqian was still not very happy. He held his son and walked
deliberately in stride, and let her trot and chase him a few steps.
On the third day of the banquet, the highlight came.
Tang Jinyu is going to perform today. She has been preparing a little dress
from early in the morning. Chen Suling knew that today was important, so she
asked him to try it, and then took out the little accordion and let him use
it. "Can Xiaoyu lift her hands up? This dress is a bit It’s tight. If we
don’t, let’s wear our usual body, and the same."
Tang Jinyu tried it and said, "Mom, you can lift it up."
Chen Suling didn't worry, she took his little hand and raised it a bit, then
she smiled when she saw that there was no problem, "Okay, just wear this
suit."
There was still some distance from noon, and it was too hot to wear a little
dress. Chen Suling changed the child's usual little clothes and asked him to
go to Xia Ye to play.
Xia Ye was on the phone and saw him say: "It's just right here, let's go, your
Brother Song is here, let's pick him up."
Tang Jinyu curiously asked, "Would you like to have a banquet?"
Xia Ye smiled and said, "I will give you a present."
Song Yi has always done things properly, so he came here in person and gave
two gifts one after another.
The first one is a Land Rover.
Not only that, but I also helped Xia Ye to find a good excuse, only that it
was for Tang Hongjun's family to use here instead of the second old man of the
Chen family. I wanted to come and inquire with my heart that Mr. Chen is in
the engineering business, and the scooter needs to be more impatient. .
The second copy is an imported piano, placed in the courtyard of the Chen
family, and even a tuner was specially invited to help with the tuning.
The reason for this gift is even better. Although Tang Jinyu only comes to
Chen's house during the holidays, but the children will focus on the piano in
the future, so I bought one here for future needs.
The two gifts are big pieces. The car came with the keys, but it was okay.
Many people saw it when the piano was moved all the way. People who were
puzzled before now began to believe that the little grandson of the Chen
family was I really recovered a bit, regardless of whether the award is true
or not, at least I can play a complete tune in public, no worse than other
children.
After the piano was placed, Xia Ye took Tang Jinyu over to look at it. When
the child saw the piano, his eyes lit up and he hugged Xia Ye and said
happily, "Brother, the same as the one I use at home!"
Xia Yedao: "I just bought it compared to the one at home. Go try it."
The children went over and looked around. The tuner was a foreigner with blond
hair and blue eyes. He sat there and tried a few notes and said a few words in
a low voice. It turned out that this is not a piano store and wanted to raise
his head and talk in crappy Chinese, but he stood and watched. The child
nodded immediately, and happily pressed the keys twice, and said to him,
"Thank you, Mr., what you prepared is really good!"
"Do you speak Russian?" The other party was surprised.
Tang Jinyu immediately uttered a series of fluent Russian (off tuo): "Oh
sorry, I only say this one, thank you for your efforts, and wish you a happy
day!"
The tuner froze for a moment, then laughed, got up and shook hands with the
child seriously, then helped him to open the piano stool for the child to sit
down, and took a gentleman’s etiquette and took two steps back to signal him
to enjoy music.
A lot of people on the sideline watched. First they whispered when they saw
the piano, and then they heard the little boy openly communicating with
foreigners, and they all focused on the child for a while. It’s a new thing
for children to speak a foreign language these days. The tide of going abroad
is hot. Teenagers would say that it’s fine. Tang Jinyu is too young and a
"little fool", so she suddenly opened her mouth to make people around us feel
uncomfortable. Dare to believe it.
A distant relative who is good at chewing his tongue muttered, "My child can
also speak English, but why should I listen to him?"
Others listened to this. Someone heard a little bit. Although they could not
say it, they recognized it and said to her: "This is Russian."
The distant relatives who spoke were slanderous, and they were embarrassed to
say more.
Some people are more informed. Yesterday their children played with the
children of the Chen family, but they heard the two girls of the Chen family
say that this is Asperger's disease, which is a genius disease. Many people in
the crowd even began to suspect that the child from Chen Suling's family had
this disease in the first place. By coincidence, he is now healed and has
become a little genius.
Tang Jinyu didn't expect two sentences to cause so many misunderstandings, and
he would only speak Russian.
This is because when Teacher Xia was in the symphony orchestra, there was a
Russian violinist in the orchestra. He liked to ask Teacher Xia for advice and
study. The child spent a lot of time with Teacher Xia, and the other party
liked to play with him. So I learned these two sentences. Omnipotent
statement. One sentence to express gratitude, and one sentence to end the
dialogue is convenient and can be applied at any time.
Xia Ye sent these two great gifts, which shocked the two elders of the Chen
family.
Mr. Chen's first reaction was to ask him to return it. This is too expensive,
not to mention the piano, only the car is 700,000 to 800,000, which is
equivalent to the net profit of a small company under his hand for a year. Xia
Ye is so young that he paid. Inappropriate.
Xia Ye said: "I prepared this for my aunt."
Old Chen wanted to say something. There was a clatter of children running
outside. Tang Jinyu had changed her little dress, knocked on the concealed
door twice, and came in, and said happily: "Grandpa, come on, my brother The
piano I gave is so good, I will play it for you!"
Contagious by the child's cheerful emotions, Old Man Chen also laughed and
nodded and said, "Well, we will go right away."
Xia Ye pushed the car key to the old man, and went to find Tang Jinyu. The kid
saw him very happy. He reached out and held his head and looked up at him:
"Brother, what do you want to hear? I played the one I won the game. Let me
listen to you. When I went to the game, my brother was not at home and didn't
even see it."
"it is good."
Mr. Chen followed behind, shook his head and smiled as he watched the two
brothers.
He heard some news from Xia Ye from his son-in-law, and knew that this child
was quite capable and made a lot of money, but he did not expect that he would
be so willing to spend money on Xiaoyu. His wife loves her daughter and
grandson, so he spends money to vent her anger. Xia Ye is afraid that this
child is affectionate. He takes his daughter and son-in-law’s family as
relatives. That’s why Xiaoyu doesn’t care about money like this. Support the
children.
Mr. Chen has always disliked extravagance and waste, except for his wife’s
spending money. He thinks this is his special ability to support his family.
Now he has added one more item. He thinks that Xia Ye is good, can make money
and spend money, quite the style of his back then!
