"Father, you are old."
"You're not too young, alas, it's been thirty or forty years apart, it's a pity your mother... alas!"
The old man felt very sad. He was sorry for that woman.
But the old woman booked the ferry tickets back then. He was busy reselling the Chu family's property at the time, and he really took care of this, but he and the old woman repeatedly emphasized that the ticket for the mother and son of the concubine must be booked, but the old woman was in violation of the law and deliberately omitted the condominium. , and also said that the tickets were too nervous to book.
The old man wanted to think of a way, but the situation became more and more tense, there was bad news every day, and it became more and more difficult to get a ticket. Twenty gold bars could not get a ticket, and finally he could only bring it first. I went out with the first room, I planned to wait for the war to subside, and then come back to pick up the mother and son, but I don't know that this will be a few decades, and goodbye will be life and death.
"Mother went very peacefully and didn't suffer too much." Chu Yuanzhi said sobbing.
The old man let out a long sigh. Seeing Yang Lingling, his complexion changed slightly. Chu Dingxiang told him that the youngest son married a rich woman in Hong Kong City, and she should be this woman.
"I'm Yang Lingling, I just got married to Yuanzhi." Yang Lingling introduced herself with a smile.
Chu Yuanzhi was a little embarrassed. After all, he was married three times, so he was embarrassed.
"Sit down, I'm Chu Fanghai."
The old man's first impression of Yang Lingling was not bad. After sitting down, he said, "Yuanzhi, come back to Shanghai with me in a few days and pay homage to your mother."
"Hey."
Chu Yuanzhi was naturally willing, but when he thought of his mother, his eyes became red again.
The old man looked at Yang Lingling and said, "You go too."
After all, she is a daughter-in-law, so she has to worship her in-laws.
However, Yang Lingling refused and smiled: "I have a very important project in two days, and I really can't get away and can't accompany you. Let Yuanzhi accompany you. When I was in Shanghai, I had already paid homage to my mother and her old man. already."
The old man's expression changed. He didn't expect Yang Lingling to reject him. He is an elder and the head of the family.
"What important project can be more important than paying tribute to your mother-in-law?" The old man's tone was not very good.
He felt that Yang Lingling deliberately shied the blame, which was too rude.
"Father, Lingling's business is very busy in her company." Chu Yuanzhi helped to speak. He also felt that there was no need to involve Yang Lingling. Everyone was full of money every second. It was enough to respect his mother. form.
The old man glared angrily. He was talking to his daughter-in-law. What was this kid talking about?
At first glance, it is a stubborn, useless thing that has no right to speak at home.
Yang Lingling said neither humble nor arrogant: "I am really busy with work, and I think my heart is the most important thing. It is enough to respect my mother-in-law in my heart. When I have time, I will go to worship. My mother-in-law is a reasonable person and will definitely understand the younger generation. It's like your mother-in-law understands that you haven't come back for decades, what do you think?"
The old man's face suddenly looked ugly, and he was speechless. He really owed Yuanzhi his mother, but this is what a daughter-in-law can say?
How did Yuanzhi, this stinky boy, marry such a sharp-toothed daughter-in-law?
Yang Lingling got up and said softly, "I have something to do with my company. Let's go first. You just stay in this hotel. You don't need to pay, it will be charged to my account."
He said to Chu Yuanzhi again, "Take a good chat with your father, I'll let someone book the ticket back to Shanghai, don't go home too late at night."
"Okay, it's hard work." Chu Yuanzhi was very obedient.
The old man looked sideways, his stomach was full of fire, and his face was very ugly. The wife's words were the same as the imperial decree. Did this son marry an old woman?
Yang Lingling smiled and left the hotel gracefully. As soon as she left, the old man couldn't bear it any longer and scolded, "Why did you marry such a wife? You worthless thing!"
"Father, Lingling is a very nice person, don't say that."
Chu Yuanzhi was unhappy. He felt that Yang Lingling couldn't be better. Why did his father say such a thing to his wife? Besides—
"You said when you were a child that I was unpromising, but now that I am so old, you say that I am unpromising anyway."
Chu Yuanzhi was a little aggrieved. Since everyone said he was useless, why did he ask him to do something promising?
Is not this contradictory?
The old man fell on his back in anger, glaring at the unfilial son angrily, Chu Yuanzhi lowered his head aggrievedly, the emotion of father and son when they met also faded, and it became a little embarrassing.
"Grandpa, uncle, when are you going to go back to Shanghai?" Chu Dingxiang broke the embarrassment, she still didn't give up, she wanted to go back with her, maybe there was a turning point.
"The sooner the better."
The old man wanted to return to his hometown as soon as possible. He missed Shanghai City so much over the years that he wished he could fly over now.
Chu Qiao's family had already returned to Shanghai City. When they got off the train station, they heard the familiar local accent, which was very cordial. They also heard a hawker, "Phoenix eggs, one for each dime."
"Give me two first."
Chu Qiao was greedy, so he bought two eggs, and the one who sold them was a kind aunt who picked two eggs. Chu Qiao cracked the eggs and sucked the soup. eat up.
Gu Ye hugged his heart and let his daughter-in-law enjoy it first. He was so greedy that he kept screaming. He stretched out his hand to grab the egg in Chu Qiao's hand, which made her anxious.
"You can't eat it, eat this."
Chu Qiao didn't give it to her. The old man said that phoenix eggs should not be eaten by children. He didn't know if there was any scientific basis. Anyway, she would rather believe it.
[Phoenix eggs are happy eggs, also called live beads, hair eggs]
She ate two eggs, Gu Ye ate three, and the whole family went back home. When the machine tool factory saw them, they all came over to say hello.
"Is it fun over there in Hong Kong?"
"Is there really gold on the ground there?"
"Are the people over there very rich?"
"Do they all live in big houses and drive foreign cars?"
……
After a while, a lot of people gathered around~, all of them were inquiring about Hong Kong City, all of them were like curious babies, and the questions they asked were ridiculous.
Gu Ye answered one by one, "If you don't have gold to pick up, you think it's Jinshan. The poor over there are very poor, they can't eat enough to eat, and they sleep in the same place as the coffin board. Sleep on the street."
"There are people over there who can't get enough to eat?" Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it.
"Why not? There are poor people everywhere. There are many poor people in Hong Kong City. They are very poor. You will know when you go there to play in the future."
"How can we have a chance to play, the year of the monkey, the month of the horse, or Chief Gu, you are fortunate. You are so young to run around the world, and your heart is so big that you have already crossed the ocean."
Everyone was very envious, and they never thought that they could go to Hong Kong City to play. It was too far away, and it was not cheap to go there. They were reluctant to buy more meat to eat if they had money.
After all these people have satisfied their curiosity, their family can get out and finally return to their own home. No one has lived there for two months, and the house is still clean and spotless. Obviously, Lin Yulan often comes to clean it.
After taking a bath, the family of three slept together. They slept until dark and were woken up by the ringing of the phone. Chu Qiao answered the phone in a daze. It was Assistant Yang Lingling who called, and what she said made her wake up immediately.
"My grandfather is coming? When?"
