"Brother, where are you eating? Hey! The second baby is back, and he doesn't want to sit with his uncle." The two uncles were familiar with each other, and after they came in, they found a stool and sat down.
"That's right! Erba, your aunt was still talking about you a few days ago, saying she wouldn't come back after seeing you for several years!" Chen Mo's uncle also said with a smile, looking very close to her.
"What's the matter?" Father Chen Jianguo's face darkened and he asked. He knew very well what kind of virtues his two brothers had. If there was nothing wrong, they would never come to his door to give them a smile.
Chen Mo also blocked the questions from his uncle and uncle. The main reason is that they are not very filial. If they had not treated their grandparents a few years ago, the family would not be in great difficulty. The tuition fees for myself and my brother were also hard-earned money from my sister and parents, and they also relied on loans from my two uncles. money.
During the years when his grandparents were ill, Chen Mo was still in high school. During this period, he almost dropped out of school in order to treat his elders' illness. That's how the uncle and the younger brother stayed together on and off, so they just gave the family a few hundred yuan to show their interest, and didn't care about the two elders at all.
His father, Chen Jianguo, is the eldest son of the Chen family. He also has a younger sister who is the brother of the second child's father, who is also Chen Mo's aunt. However, she is married far away and it is not easy to come back. Two uncles, uncle Chen Jianshe is the third child and brother-in-law Chen Jianmin is the fourth, both live in the village and are not far from home.
"Haha, brother, I have something to do with you today." Uncle Chen Jianshe said.
"Say!" Father Chen Jianguo also wanted to see them.
"Isn't the village going to elect a village director? I took part in the election. I came here today to tell you, boss, so that I can support my brother when the general meeting is held to vote." Uncle Chen Jianshe said.
"Yes, boss, we are all brothers, so please support me." Uncle Chen Jianmin also continued.
Chen Mo just listened and did not interrupt, but when he heard his uncle and uncle say this, he felt a little bit grumpy in his heart. Now they are brothers. When his grandparents were alive, these two people were never seen. It was really funny.
Chen Jianguo nodded and said, "How many people in the village support your election?"
"There are so many, and everyone says I have the best chance of being elected," Chen Jianshe said.
Chen Jianguo nodded, and then said, "Okay, I will vote when the time comes."
"Haha, thank you, boss." Chen Jianshe stood up with a smile. He also knew that Chen Jianguo didn't like him very much, so he said: "Well, you guys eat your food, I will leave with the third child, and there are a few other families." Gotta say hello.”
Chen Jianguo nodded and watched Chen Jianshe and Chen Jianmin walking out of the house silently.
"My father, you just agreed like this? If the third child becomes the village director, he might be in trouble!" her mother Fu Huili said angrily.
"Yeah! I want to go, but I didn't agree to vote for him!" said his father Chen Jianguo.
When Chen Mo and his mother heard this, they remembered that their father had just said that he was going to vote, but he did not say for whom. The mother and son looked at each other and smiled. I didn't expect Chen Jianguo to have such a cunning side.
"Although they are brothers, I know what kind of people they are. But it's better not to offend them. Just go and vote. As for how to vote, we'll tell you later." Chen Jianguo also smiled.
"Dad, if there is voting in the village, how do they vote?" Chen Mo asked, having never experienced it before, but he was a little curious.
"Oh! If you are curious, just go and see it tomorrow." said his father, Chen Jianguo.
"There are still things to do tomorrow. I don't have time to join in the fun. What's the point of electing the village director? I still won't go." Chen Mo said.
"If you don't go, I won't go. But after you come back, you still have to go to your grandpa's house to visit. In addition, you should also go to the houses of several uncles. Don't let others say you are rude." said his father Chen Jianguo.
"Sure!" After Chen Mo answered, he didn't say anything else. After coming back, he was busy with his own things and didn't really go around.
After breakfast, Chen Ming led seven workers to his home, followed by a walking tractor pulling a load of cement, sand and tools.
Mother hurriedly greeted and served tea and cigarettes, which is a custom in the village. If there is any work at home, water and cigarettes must be prepared. Of course, it is not necessary to prepare them, but after the workers finish the work, they will say that the owner is instigating, and this will be spit on behind. And with these things, the workers will work very carefully, and they will save materials that should be saved for the owner. Otherwise, you will not know if they are wasted in several places, and all the money for tea and cigarettes will not be enough.
The tea and cigarettes don’t need to be very good, just average. Yesterday, Chen Mo went to the village shop and bought a lot of tea and a few cartons of cigarettes. Tea costs 20 yuan a pound, which is very ordinary tea, and cigarettes cost 50 yuan a pack, which are not expensive. They are mainly used to entertain workers, and they are not very particular.
When Chen Ming saw the water and cigarettes placed in the yard, he also smiled and said to Chen Mo: "Er baby, the ceramic tiles and paint will arrive this afternoon, and don't worry about the paint. The one I ordered is the best imported environmentally friendly paint, which is very good. In all these years of doing engineering, I have never used such expensive paint.”
Chen Mo smiled: "When decorating a house for my parents, it's better to use better materials to save worry, otherwise I'll always feel wrong."
"You've got your heart set!" Chen Ming said with a smile.
Chen Mo saw them busy measuring and leveling, so he told his parents and then rode his motorcycle to the supermarket in the town.
I went straight to the tobacco and alcohol supermarket in the town and bought some good cigarettes and alcohol. These are for gifts. I will use them later when I go to my uncle's house and to relatives' houses in some villages. Moreover, when we are constructing and renovating our homes, we also need to use cigarettes and alcohol, but this is enough. There is no need to buy good cigarettes and alcohol, so I bought some cigarettes and ordinary liquor for ten yuan a pack, and gave them to the workers when I went back. .
He didn't think of it at first, but when he saw his mother taking out cigarettes to entertain the workers in the morning, he thought of it. In addition, I thought that after I came back, I would have to visit relatives and find someone to do errands, so I bought some more cigarettes and alcohol. The people at the tobacco and alcohol supermarket in the town thought he was the owner of a canteen in the village, and even sold some of the better tobacco and alcohol to him.
Chen Mo didn't explain it, and just bought it according to his own wishes. As a result, he spent all 20,000 yuan, and later spent thousands more.
Fortunately, he has the Qiankun Pearl, so there is no problem no matter how much he has. Ask them to bump the things into a small three-wheeled truck and take them to a relatively remote place to unload them. They say they are waiting for someone to pick them up, and then send the delivery person away. When there is no one around, put everything into the Qiankun Pearl.
The other thing I did was call my sister in the town, greeting her, saying a few words about home affairs, and telling her that I would go home to develop my career. My sister was a little surprised, but she didn't say much. Because my sister and brother-in-law opened a small restaurant in the county town and were very busy, they didn't say much.
After returning home, I gave some of the cigarettes and wine I bought for the workers to my mother, and then went to a shop in the village to buy some paper money, incense, and candles.
Since I entered college, I have never been to my grandfather’s grave to pay homage, and Master Ye Shang also wanted to pay homage, so I prepared these things. Moreover, Chen Mo also plans to go to Hulu Valley tomorrow to have a good time and see the entire valley. He also has a big plan in mind.
