Chapter 141 The Situation of the Chen Family

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ?

    Chen Yan's family is not rich.

    The two-story adobe structure has five rooms on the first floor, a lobby in the middle, and two rooms on each side.  Although it is said that there are two floors, there are generally no people upstairs.  The kind of wooden ladder on the wall is very inconvenient to go up and down.

    Structures like this are very common in rural areas.

    The first room on both sides of the lobby is used as the living room and dining room, and the two rooms behind are the bedrooms.

    The rooms in the countryside are not as clearly divided as in the cities. They seem to be large in size, and there are all kinds of things piled up, so the vacated space is small.  Inside and outside the house, the ground is also uneven, and the cement has not been hardened.

    In this era, although there are quite a few houses like this, there are not many.  Some wealthy families refurbished their houses early and built red brick structures.  There is no one in Chen Yan's family, which fully shows that her family's conditions are still very difficult.

    Among the three people, Cong Tong is also considered the second generation of officials, and his living environment was relatively superior since he was a child.  Seeing the scene in front of her, the bitterness of that life quickly replaced her curiosity.

    As for Gu Qiu, his father is an official at the provincial party committee, and he has a lot of spare money in his hands, so his daily life is quite comfortable, and he has no idea about money.  In his living environment, he has never seen such a situation as Chen Yan's family.

    Witnessing everything just now, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. I thought I knew Chen Yan very well, but in fact he didn't understand anything.  Since Chen Yan got along with him, he never asked about Chen Yan's family situation, but superficially thought that Chen Yan should be doing well.

    So Gu Qiu secretly blamed himself in his heart.

    Chen Yan was born in the countryside, and her family spent all their savings to support her education.  Finally, he was admitted to a technical secondary school, got a job, and later, was spotted by Li Chenfu.  But all this did not solve the plight of her family.

    I heard that Chen Yan has an older brother who has gone to the coast to work.  The journey is far away, and I seldom come back during the holidays.

    As the head of the Merchants Office, Chen Yan did not use power for personal gain, to fight for something for her family?  She rarely even came back to visit her parents.

    A light was turned on in the room, a fifteen-watt foam, and the light was very dim.  Ling Congtong and Gu Qiu were very uncomfortable. They had never encountered such an environment.  Chen Yan's mother had already prepared meals, and in order to welcome her daughter back, she deliberately killed a chicken.

    Gu Qiu and Cong Tong had eaten that kind of yellow old hen in Daqiu Township, and the chicken stewed by Chen Yan's mother was also very fragrant and the color was good. Gu Qiu was already hungry, and his stomach was rumbling.  Chen Yan glanced at him and smiled quietly.

    "Mom, let me come, you go and sit!"

    Chen Yan walked over to help, and her mother shook her hand, "Go sit and accompany those friends. The food is ready, and I'm waiting for you to come back to eat."

    In addition to the stewed chicken, there is also a fish and a plate of fried meat with green peppers.  A plate of green vegetables.

    The method of the rural people is very simple. Whether it is fish or meat, they always put green peppers. There are not so many rules in restaurants.  But this kind of original dish in the countryside is more attractive.

    Some cadres who are tired of eating big fish and meat like to go to the countryside to eat farm food.

    Chen Yan's father is an honest farmer.  In his fifties, his face is full of vicissitudes.

    He took a pot of rice wine, "Leader Gu, there is no good wine at home, so I have to make do with it."

    Gu Qiu got anxious and immediately stood up, "Uncle Chen, don't call me that, I'm not a leader, I'm Sister Chen Yan's driver."

    Chen Yan's father looked shy, and said embarrassedly: "We don't have any good food in the countryside, so I'm neglecting you two."

    Congtong is not restrained, "Uncle, it's okay, we are very good friends with Sister Chen Yan. Order whatever you want!"

    She just saw Chen Yan's father and Chen Yan talking quietly, as if they were asking if there was no good wine at home, would rice wine be okay?  Seeing the old man being so cautious, both of them felt a little embarrassed.

    Congtong kicked Gu Qiu quietly, "Let's finish eating early and go home!"

    Gu Qiu nodded.

    Chen Yan helped her mother and brought the dishes, but Chen Yan's mother did not dare to sit at the table.  Gu Qiuzao was so hungry that his stomach was on his back, and he called out, "Auntie, why don't you come over for dinner?"

    "Eat it, I'll eat it later."

    Gu Qiu quickly understood and winked at Chen Yan.  Chen Yan pulled her mother over and sat down together.

    Only Gu Qiu accompanied Chen Yan's father to drink, so Cong Tong and Chen Yan were naturally embarrassed, and they ate directly.

    "Uncle Chen, I respect you! You have worked hard!"

    Gu Qiu picked up the cup and toasted Chen Yan's mother. Chen Yan said: "My father doesn't know how to talk, so you can drink it yourself!" Chen Yan's father looked shy, with the simplicity of rural people, just picked up the cup and smiled honestly.

    Chen Yan picked up a chicken leg and put it in her mother's bowl.  How could Chen Yan's mother accept it?  I must let my daughter eat it, saying that my daughter has nothing to eat outside, and she works so hard every day. Besides, they raise their own chickens at home, and they can kill them whenever they want to eat.

    In fact, how could they be willing to kill chickens to eat?  If there are no guests, they will not kill chickens and fish at all.  Chen Yan insisted on giving the chicken legs to her mother, who put it in a bowl but was reluctant to eat it.

    She said, "Give it to your two colleagues, they come here rarely."

    Chen Yan picked up another chicken leg and gave it to Congtong, "Congtong, you are the youngest here, you eat it."

    Of course Cong Tong was embarrassed, "To Uncle, to Uncle. Uncle has worked hard."

    Gu Qiu said, "It's all in your bowl, how can you give it to Uncle Chen, just eat it!"

    Congtong kicked him under the table with reproachful eyes.

    It was the first time I ate in such an environment, the atmosphere was a bit weird, the two old people didn't dare to talk, they just kept calling, eat more, there are not many good things in the countryside, I'm laughing at you.

    Their being so polite made Gu Qiu and Cong Tong a little embarrassed.

    Halfway through eating, Gu Qiu asked, "Sister Chen Yan, where is your brother?"

    He did hear that Chen Yan had an older brother, but he didn't see him?

    Chen Yan's mother said, "Dayou has gone out to work for many years. He called not long ago and said that he has found a partner, but it is a second marriage."

    Brother Chen Yan is twenty-nine years old and has never been married.

    Chen Yan comforted: "Mom, as long as the other party is kind, let's get married again! The key depends on the person."

    "That's true." Chen Yan's mother seemed to have something on her mind, and she was a little absent-minded when eating.

    "Swallow"

    Chen Yan's mother stopped talking.

    "Mom, tell me."

    "Your brother called back in the morning. It was your father who answered the call in the village."

    "What did he say?"

    "He said, your sister-in-law and her factory closed down, and your brother's salary is not high, and they want to come back." At this point, she dared not continue.

    Chen Yan looked at her mother, "Isn't it hard to find a job when you come back?"

    "Yeah! I said the same thing!"

    Chen Yan's mother sighed, "But the two of them are outside, it's really not a solution."

    At this time, Chen Yan's father said, "Yan'er, you are the leader now, can you find a way to find a job for your brother and your sister-in-law?"

    Chen Yan said: "Dad, it's not so easy to get a job. Besides, I'm just a director of the Investment Promotion Office now, so it's not easy to get a job."

    "Are temporary workers OK?"

    Chen Yan's mother asked tentatively.

    Chen Yan didn't say a word, and her father said, "I heard that people are doing it, and some whole families have done it, and they are all regular workers."

    Chen Yan was speechless, "Dad, where did you hear this news? The country has its own system, and the unit has its difficulties. Let me think about it. Is there any place for temporary workers?"

    Chen Yan's father said: "Yan'er, your brother didn't even read books because of you, you have to take it to heart."

    Seeing that Chen Yan didn't make a sound, Chen Yan's mother seemed to be afraid of her daughter's embarrassment, and comforted her: "Take your time, Yan'er can't be forced to do illegal things."

    Chen Yan was indeed in a dilemma, "Dad, Mom, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that there's nothing I can do. Many people are staring at me now? The higher ups are launching a rectification movement, and everyone will be finished if something goes wrong."

    At this time Gu Qiu spoke, "Well, I'll think about it, Uncle Chen, Auntie, don't worry too much."

    Chen Yan looked at him, "Do you have a solution?"

    Gu Qiu said: "Don't worry, there is no problem."

    The faces of the two elderly people were happy, and Chen Yan's father immediately picked up the cup, "Then I will respect the leader for a cup first, thank you!"

    Gu Qiu looked embarrassed, so don't be so polite to do something for brother-in-law.  He hurriedly raised his glass, "Uncle, you are polite, you are polite."

    Boom¡ª¡ª!

    While drinking wine, there was a sudden thunder in the dull sky.  All of a sudden, there was a storm, and then it rained heavily.

    Oops!  How are you going back tonight?

    The three of them stared out the window blankly, depressed!  There is no place to sleep in Chen Yan's house!
