Chapter 170 I will study hard next time
When traveling during the holidays , there were traffic jams everywhere in eastern Guangdong. The original driving journey of more than an hour was forcibly extended to seven or eight hours. I set out at around nine in the morning and arrived home in the evening.
Chen Jianghe was driving all the way. Although he had only just obtained his license and was not qualified to drive on the highway, the highway was so congested at the moment that it was no different from driving at a low speed, so no one would check.
When they arrived in Wancheng, he first sent Qin Shaohai and Han Qiuya home, then looked at Jiang Yishu who was sleeping soundly on the passenger seat and Zheng Jiaxin who was lying on the back seat, and asked, "Aunt, are we going to your house or mine?"
Zheng Jiaxin raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean by your home or my home? That's your grandmother's home. Before I came here, I told Yishu that I would bring her to meet her grandmother and make the old lady happy."
"Oh, Yishu is sleeping soundly, please keep your voice down." Chen Jianghe said.
Zheng Jiaxin glared at him lightly and sighed helplessly. Thinking about how she raised him with great difficulty when he was a child, she felt that life was not worth it.
The car drove to Songgang Village, Qingxi Town. When passing by a small supermarket at the entrance of the village, Chen Jianghe unexpectedly caught a glimpse of his grandmother. The old lady was sitting on a wooden bench at the door of the supermarket, occasionally glancing at the passing vehicles, paying special attention to the passenger buses coming and going.
Chen Jianghe parked the car, rolled down the window, and waved to the old lady with a smile, "Grandma, look here!"
His shout not only attracted the attention of his grandmother, but also woke up the sleeping Jiang Yishu. Zheng Jiaxin, who was lying in the back seat, jumped up with a huff, opened the car door and ran down. In the blink of an eye, she hugged the old lady, called her "Mom" sweetly, and rubbed against her arms in a naive manner.
The old lady stroked her long hair, smiling broadly, and her doting expression was overflowing with words: "You are so old, but you still act like a spoiled child, like a little kid who never grows up."
Chen Jianghe took Jiang Yishu out of the car, walked up to his grandmother, and said to his aunt with a smile: "Little brat, move aside and let me hug you too."
"You little brat."
Zheng Jiaxin raised her head and raised her hand to grab him, but was dodged.
"Stop making trouble." The old lady patted the back of her daughter's hand and looked at Chen Jianghe and Jiang Yishu with a smile.
“This is my girlfriend, right?”
The old lady stood up and without saying a word, took out the purse that she usually kept tightly hidden from her pocket. After opening it layer by layer, she took out the few red bills inside and stuffed them into Jiang Yishu's hand.
Jiang Yishu was a little nervous. She held the old lady's wrists with both hands, but her own wrists were shaking slightly.
"Take it." Chen Jianghe said with a smile.
A gift from an elder cannot be declined, Jiang Yishu accepted it with a red face: "Thank you, grandma."
When the old lady heard the word "Grandma", she was so happy that her eyes narrowed into slits. She was also feeling that time passed so quickly. The scene when Chen Jianguo and his daughter Zheng Lihua brought the infant Chen Jianghe to their home for the first time seemed to be still in front of her eyes. Time flies, and now her grandson has a girlfriend.
"Mom, I'm hungry, let's go home."
Zheng Jiaxin took the old lady's arm and walked towards the BYD parked on the side of the road with a smile: "I'll drive you back."
"Where did the car come from?" the old lady asked curiously.
Zheng Jiaxin glanced at Chen Jianghe and said truthfully, "The brat bought it. He has become successful now and just bought a car casually."
"Good, that's great."
The old lady looked at her grandson and the new car with great satisfaction. Without saying anything, she lowered her head and got in.
At dinner time, my grandmother's house was particularly lively. All four uncles were there, and even my sixth aunt, who rarely came home after getting married, came back. The whole family gathered together, laughing and joking, and the food tasted especially delicious.
Chen Jianghe and Jiang Yishu sat next to each other, like a newlywed couple. Their personalities complemented each other perfectly, one was extroverted, the other introverted. One could feel at ease wherever he was, while the other was quiet wherever he was.
Jiang Yishu seldom spoke. She would usually answer softly when her elders asked her questions. Her gentle almond eyes flickered with restraint as she only paid attention to the dish in front of her and Chen Jianghe beside her.
Chen Jianghe reached out to pick up some meat and put it in her bowl. She always carefully bit off the fat part and ate it in small bites, and then quietly put the lean meat into Chen Jianghe's bowl.
"Silly girl." Chen Jianghe returned the lean meat in the bowl to her and whispered in her ear: "Eating fatty meat will make you fat, eating lean meat will make you breasts."
Jiang Yishu's cheeks flushed, and she responded in a mosquito-like voice: "No need to grow there, it's big enough."
"Ahem." Chen Jianghe coughed lightly. This girl was so shy, yet she responded like this. She was probably afraid of being disliked for her figure.
In fact, her figure is very well-proportioned. She has flesh where it should be fleshy, and is thin where it should be thin. When Chen Jianghe carried her on his back on the campus of Sun Yat-sen University before, he personally experienced her texture that was as smooth as water and as soft as jade.
We were still wearing clothes at that time...
Among the family, Sixth Aunt Zheng Xiaolan and Youngest Aunt Zheng Jiaxin ate the fastest. They ate a small bowl of rice quietly and left the table. The two sisters moved small stools and sat on the left and right of the door. They didn't look close, but they didn't seem to be deliberately distant either.
"Little sister, is your internship company so profitable? You bought a car before you even graduated from college?"
Zheng Xiaolan pointed at the car parked not far away and asked with a little envy.
She originally thought that she had married well and moved to the big city of Shenzhen, and that she was a Shenzhener from then on. Her brothers and sisters in her hometown were not doing well, so she tried to have as little contact with them as possible in the future to avoid them asking for money all the time, which would cause unpleasantness.
But I didn't expect that when I went home this time, my younger sister, who had not yet graduated from college, actually drove a new car. Although it was just an ordinary domestic car, the BYD brand was still somewhat famous in Shenzhen . Her husband had been thinking about it for a long time, but the family was reluctant to pay for it.
“I didn’t buy it.”
Zheng Jiaxin curled her lips and turned to look at Chen Jianghe who was still eating: "Ahe bought it."
"Who are you kidding?" Zheng Xiaolan curled her lips in disbelief: "Ah He is only a freshman, where does he get the money to buy a car?"
In fact, what she looked down upon the most was the Chen family. Nowadays, few native people in Wancheng are engaged in farming, but her brother-in-law Chen Jianguo is still working on construction sites and farming at the same time. Her fifth sister Zheng Lihua has suffered a lot for many years after her marriage, and the small one-story shabby house in their family has not changed in more than ten years.
"You don't understand."
Zheng Jiaxin shook her head but was too lazy to say more. She and Sixth Sister had different personalities and could not get along well since they were young.
In fact, due to the age difference, she didn't get along very well with her brothers and sisters. From childhood to adulthood, the one she had the best relationship with was the brat Chen Jianghe in her family.
"Ah He, come here."
Chen Jianghe had just finished his meal when his sixth aunt Zheng Xiaolan called him over and asked him in a low voice, "You've just entered college and you're already in love?"
"Yeah, if you fall in love early, you will have no worries when you are old." Chen Jianghe nodded.
"It's so hard for your parents to raise you as a college student. Instead of studying hard and making a lot of money, you just focus on love. What kind of future can you have?" Zheng Xiaolan taught him seriously.
When Chen Jianghe heard this, he agreed with her and said, "Sixth Aunt is right. I will study hard next time."
"next time?"
Zheng Xiaolan raised her eyebrows. This didn't sound right. You got into a second-tier university, so you're feeling proud, right?
She was about to say a few more words when Zheng Jiaxin interrupted, "Sister, please stop talking. Chen Jianghe now has a team of 500 people under him. He has to use a money detector to count all the money he earns in a month. Graduates from Peking University and Tsinghua University are not as good as him. Talk to your brother-in-law someday and ask him to go to Longdong University Town. He might be able to sign a few more insurance policies."
When these words were spoken, not only Zheng Xiaolan was stunned.
Even Chen Jianghe was stunned. He thought his bragging skills were good enough, but he didn't expect his aunt to praise him to the sky.
Is it okay to use a money detector to count the money you earn every month?
Is it okay to ask my sixth uncle to go to Longdong University Town to sign the insurance policy?
"What a good auntie, she even wants shrimp and pig heart when chatting with her own sisters."
Chen Jianghe silently gave his aunt a thumbs up in his heart. This is the most correct way to show off when relatives are getting along with each other...
But Zheng Jiaxin’s true thoughts are: No matter whether the brat is good or bad, I can say it but others cannot, and if others say something about him, I will protect him.
