In the blink of an eye, it was 2004. The Sun family had already bought a new house. It was a large villa with six bedrooms on three floors. The family was not separated and still lived together.
Time is not forgiving, and now Sun Qianchao has some gray hair on his temples. He is 52 years old this year. He was sitting on a deck chair in the yard to enjoy the cool weather at noon. He closed his eyes and felt a little sleepy.
Unconsciously, I remembered that I had been teaching all my life and had recommended many opportunities. For example, when my teacher Gao Liren retired a few years ago, I had already planned to recommend him to the school to take over as the head of the history department.
But after Sun Ganchao found out about this, he refused directly. After all, he had no shortage of money, so why did he have to work so hard? After thinking about it, he fell asleep unconsciously...
"Dad, why are you sitting here~"
I don't know how long it took, but my son's voice woke up Sun Qianchao, who was already sleeping.
He opened his eyes and said drowsily: "I'm back. Why did you get off work so early today?"
Sun Maizhe replied with a helpless look: "Dad, didn't you call me and tell me to come back early? My uncle and my aunt, they will come back for dinner tonight!"
"Yes, look at my brain, I have forgotten about this and haven't told your grandparents yet!" At this time, Sun Qianchao was completely awake.
Then he stood up and raised his hand to look at the time. He found that it was already past 4 p.m., and hurriedly walked into the house.
Went to the living room and said to my parents, who were nearly 80 years old and had gray hair, "Mom and Dad, my eldest brother and sister will be back for dinner later in the evening!"
"What?" The second elder who was watching TV didn't react for a while.
After a few seconds, Grandmother came back to her senses, pointed at the clock on the wall, and complained: "Look at what time it is, why did you tell me? It's too late to prepare meals now!"
"Mom, let's go out to eat as a family. When the time comes, we'll have to pay the bill. You and my dad will order two more hard dishes so that he can eat too much!" Yu Hong, who was holding her grandson at the side, said with a smile.
Sun Qianchao took over the conversation: "When my brother and sister come back, let's go directly to Bingkun's hotel!"
"Dad, then I'm going to call Uncle Kun and ask him to reserve a private room~" Sun Maizhe on the side picked up the phone and dialed the number.
Nothing happened after that. Sun quickly sat down next to his wife, teasing his eldest grandson, watching TV carelessly, and unknowingly fell into memories.
He is completely idle now. The most important thing in daily life is to go to school. Because he teaches liberal arts and has no scientific research tasks, he spends his days leisurely.
He didn't even bother to take care of the company. After his master Liu Ming retired at the age of 60 a year ago, Sun Qianchao handed over the company to his son Sun Maizhe.
This guy is 28 years old this year. He got married three years ago. In 2002, he gave Comrade Sun a great-grandson.
The reason why he handed the company over to his son was not because he favored sons over daughters, but because his daughter, Sun Maini, didn't care about this crappy company at all. After graduating from college, she took the postgraduate entrance examination and successfully stayed in school. She was in the same unit as him and she also liked to live a salty life. Driving around in the car.
Speaking of which, I don’t know if it’s because of my high standards. This kid is good at everything. He even had several boyfriends, but none of them came to the end. He is already 30 this year, and he is still single.
I was watching the TV and suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Dad, what are you thinking about?"
Sun Qianchao was shocked. He knew without guessing that it must be the daughter of the older leftover girl, because although his son was naughty when he was young, he has become more and more stable in recent years.
So he turned his head and said with a speechless expression: "When did you come back? You are already 30 years old, can you please stop being surprised all the time? At your age, my father and I can't stand being scared like this every day!"
"Dad, you can't rely on me for this. I don't know what you were thinking about. You didn't even notice me coming!" Sun Maini looked innocent.
After that, he ignored his father and turned around to pick up his 2-year-old nephew in his mother's arms.
Teasingly: "Hey, Xiaobao, why are you getting fat again? Eat less today and give the food to aunt, okay?"
After a while, sister Sun Xiaoli and her family arrived, and then they waited for nearly two hours. It was almost dark, and eldest brother Sun Qianwei arrived belatedly with his family.
Of course, this is not surprising. It has been like this all these years. Who knows that he is now the chief of the house in charge of the entire Jiangliao construction, and he is extremely busy all day long.
After everyone was gathered, the family began to walk toward the hotel. Now there are four generations of the Sun family living under one roof. There are six in my family, five in my eldest brother's family, seven in my sister's family, plus the two elders. Exactly 20 people.
Of course, my sister’s niece is currently working in Fengtian, the provincial capital next door, with her husband, so there were only 18 people who went to dinner together, but they also took five cars. The word “huge” is not an exaggeration to describe it.
Here, Sun Qianchao didn't drive either. He was sitting in a car with his eldest brother and brother-in-law, and his eldest nephew Sun Maichen was the driver.
Because Wu Pingfan was relatively fat, he sat in the passenger seat. He turned around and smiled at the back seat: "Catch up, you have to drink well today. Do you have those Maotai bottles in your wine cabinet? Don't let it go!"
"Brother-in-law, you are getting heavier and heavier now. Now you have seriously exceeded the standard. You need to control it and drink less. It is best to lose weight!"
"Otherwise, it will be more difficult to adjust as you get older!" Sun Qunchao advised his brother-in-law, who already weighed more than 200 kilograms.
Sun Qianwei on the side also echoed: "Yes, Fanfan, I think you seem to be fatter than last time. At our age, being fat is not a good thing~"
Wu Pingfan sighed after hearing this: "I also want to lose weight. Your eldest nephew has told me countless times, but this won't work. I won't even eat meat for one meal!"
"I also tried to lose weight some time ago. According to the recipe a friend gave me, I could eat bran bran for more than a month. The effect was pretty good. I could probably lose more than 20 kilograms!"
"Isn't this good? Why haven't you persisted?" Sun Qianchao was a little confused because he didn't notice that his brother-in-law was thin.
Wu Pingfan was helpless when he mentioned this matter: "I also wanted to persevere, but in the end I went straight to the hospital because I fainted!"
"My son was found to be malnourished upon examination. After being raised in the hospital for half a month, he successfully regained his weight and gained four to five kilograms more than before!"
"Hahaha~" The two brothers in the back row laughed unkindly.
Even Sun Maichen, who had been silent while driving, was holding back his laughter, but he was a junior after all and was embarrassed to laugh out loud.
Sun Qianchao rubbed his face that was slightly frozen in laughter, and then said: "Brother-in-law, you are doing it too hard, you still have to take your time!"
"At the very least, you have to quit drinking first, and then follow scientific ways to lose weight. Those wild ways won't work at all!"
"Don't mention this matter. You'll make a fuss when you mention it. Because of this, your sister made fun of me in the hospital for half a month~" Wu Pingfan looked depressed.
Sun Qianchao smiled again, then turned around and asked: "Brother, the demolition of our old house has been confirmed, right?"
"Yes, since Zhou Bingyi was transferred back three years ago, he has been promoting this matter and balancing the pros and cons of all parties. Finally, we have a rough idea. The announcement will be made soon. The famous slum in Jichun, Guangzhi Film, is about to become a history!"
After Sun Qianwei finished speaking, he looked out the window with some discomfort, because he had lived there for 21 years...
