Chapter 1477 Another Year
The Chu Heng family’s hot pot meal consumed more than ten kilograms of mutton.
Among them, the old man alone ate almost five kilograms, and his belly was so swollen that it felt like he had been pregnant for several months, and he was not afraid of stuffing himself to death...
"I feel comfortable eating this meal today. , my old man has been open to the world for the first time in his life. Eating mutton is so satisfying!" After eating the last piece of mutton in the bowl, old man Lian felt that it was in his throat and patted his stomach with satisfaction. He picked up half a box of Lucai on the table and ordered it with a smile. He also put Du Saner's lighter into his pocket.
Chu Heng stared at his round belly speechlessly, and couldn't help but said: "Director, I'm not telling you, are you a bit promising? You are so old, how can you eat such old meat? Have you digested it? Hurry, I’ll get you two hawthorn pills.”
"No need, it's hard to eat something good now. What kind of hawthorn pills should I take?" Old Man Lian waved his hand, stood up with his belly straightened out, and said, "Okay, that's it for today, I have to go back."
"I put down my chopsticks now. What are you in a hurry? Let's drink some tea before leaving." Chu Heng hurriedly stood up to persuade him to stay.
"That's it, you finally come here, sit down for a while and talk with me." The deaf old lady also spoke up when she saw this.
“No, the Chinese New Year will be here in a few days. I have a lot of things to do at home. I’ll come back another day when I have time.”
The old man smiled and squeezed Huniu’s fat cheeks. With a pouty face, he ran to Chu Zhecheng to grab a bird again. Immediately, he saw his eyes turned cold and he glanced at Xiang Chu Heng said: "For the sake of this mutton meal, I won't pursue the matter of your kid telling me lies. But it's just this once. If it happens again, I will be shameless." , don’t think about it, when the time comes, I will hold you and we will jump into the Jinshui River together!”
"I can't do it anymore, I promise I can't do it anymore." Chu Heng, who knew he was in the wrong, kept laughing.
"Huh, let's go!" The old man turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a moment." Only then did Chu Heng remember the TVs at home, so he stepped forward and grabbed the old man, and said to him and Du San: "I got a batch of TVs back from Hong Kong Island. , brand new, two hundred and thirty, do you two want it?"
"No, no, that thing is not good for food or drink, why would I want it?" Old Man Lian shook his head decisively and asked Like most people of the older generation, they value pragmatism.
Du San’s eyes lit up. He had so much money now that he had no place to spend it. Hundreds or even thousands were nothing to him, so he hurriedly said, “Master Chu, I want Is it possible? ”
"Why do you want so much?" Chu Heng asked doubtfully.
"Hey, I want to get one for my father-in-law." Du San grinned.
"Oh, you are very filial, okay? When you leave later, just take them with you and give the money to your sister-in-law later." Chu Heng smiled and nodded in agreement. When he came down, his filial piety was fulfilled.
At the same time, the old man curled up his lips and couldn't help but preach to Du San: "You kid, do you know how to live? More than two hundred is enough to sell a bicycle, why do you buy a broken TV? Find a place with a TV to play that thing Don’t your work units still look at it?”
“Hehe.” Du San didn’t say anything to him, he just smiled and said nothing. There was a generation gap of three years between them, but they were still turning around after a generation gap of ten. My thoughts on some things just can't be synchronized.
And even the old man didn't bother to say anything when he saw his unrepentant look, and just said hello and left.
"Don't worry, I'll get you some Hong Kong Island specialties." Chu Heng stopped him again, then quickly walked to the chest of drawers to find two bags, then went to the corner and picked out the pile of travel bags. The box contained some cigarettes, wine, sugar, chocolate, badi cloth and other things. He packed two portions and gave one portion to Old Man Lian and Du San.
"It's not a good thing, it's just a novelty."
"I'm not polite." Even the old man looked at the contents of the bag, and his face turned into a chrysanthemum. Then, with Chu Heng escorting him off, he walked out with a big belly, one step at a time.
This situation and scene are very similar to the day Chu Heng invited him to a restaurant when he first crossed over.
The same doesn't hold much promise...
Not long after.
Chu Heng came back from seeing Old Man Lian off. As soon as he crossed the Moon Gate, he bumped into Du San carrying something and leaving. "What are you going to do?" he stopped and asked.
Du San smiled and said: "I have to go too. I have to get antennas for those two TVs when I get back."
"Then come with me."
Hearing this, Chu Heng didn't leave him alone. He turned around and led him to the room where the TV was placed. He moved two TV sets out, then helped him to the door and tied them into the back seat of the car. .
After seeing Du San off, he went back to the house to coax the children to play for a while, then went back to the bedroom to sleep and sober up.
It’s past six o’clock in the evening.
After Ni Yinghong came back from get off work and had dinner, the young couple set out again, driving to his father-in-law's house with the TV and some specialties brought back by Chu Heng.
Needless to say, when the Ni family saw the TV, they were overjoyed. The sister-in-law who was in confinement even ran out of the confinement room to watch it, regardless of her health.
Of course, the neighbors inside and outside the courtyard where they lived were also alerted, and they all came to his house to watch the fun. During this period, Xiao Ni and Chu Heng were inevitably praised a lot.
They were said to be filial and capable, but after all, they kept repeating those few words on the wheel, and the young couple's ears were already ringing in their ears, and they were basically immune to it.
The next day.
In the morning, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear and clear.
Chu Heng, who wanted to stay at home, was called out of his home by a phone call.
The caller was the old company commander Wei Chaoying. Only then did he know that this guy had come back. He had specially organized a bureau today and called He Zishi and Guo Kai to get together. Get together.
A few old comrades went to the Barbeque Wan, which started at 12 noon and ended at about 5 o'clock in the evening. They drank heavily all afternoon.
It was almost dark when they came out of the hotel, and except for Chu Heng, a drunkard, and Guo Kai, who had quit drinking, no one else spoke eloquently.
From that day on, news of Daesheng Heng’s return spread in the circle. So in the remaining days of the year before, except for one morning when he wanted to be promoted to director, Apart from being called to talk to the Party Committee of the Grain Bureau, he spent the rest of the day socializing around. Sometimes he had two drinks a day, and sometimes he had three or four, which almost made him tired.
There was no way around it. The people who invited him to drink were all close friends. It was not good to refuse anyone. He could only hold his nose and go to the banquet one by one.
Maybe this is the disadvantage of having too many friends.
In this way, time came to January 29th, which is the 30th day of the lunar calendar.
For some reasons, this New Year is much more deserted than before. People are cautious in everything. They even have to consider every word of the couplet, and some even don't post it at all to prevent any taboos.
Same as last year, today the food mouth still responded to the call with all their might, and everyone was in a hurry.
But these have nothing to do with Chu Heng's family. They rested as usual at their thirties, posted Spring Festival couplets as usual, and even Chu Heng bought a lot of firecrackers.
The main thing is arrogance.
