good old days

Chapter 695 Pomp
After being delayed for two days on the way, Chen Xiuyun and his wife arrived two days late.

At this time, Xiaochuan also stayed at Zhou Shunyi's uncle's house for two days.

Uncle Zhou Shunyi's family only consists of an old couple. Their children are married and no longer around. They are all retired cadres, and they all have the temperament of an old cadre that makes young people intimidated.

When there were no guests in the house, it was deserted. Xiaochuan did not dare to say much. After guests came, Xiaochuan went out to familiarize himself with the environment in the family courtyard of the factory. When Chen Xiuyun and Zhou Shunyi arrived, the uncomfortable energy in him disappeared.

From the village to the commune, and then from the commune to the city, his house became smaller and smaller, and the surrounding environment no longer allowed him to play as wildly as he did in the village.

Zhou Shunyi will have to work in the factory from now on, and Chen Xiuyun’s workplace will be changed to the factory primary school. It is Zhou Shunyi’s uncle’s contribution that allowed the two of them to live in a house as soon as they arrived. The factory is very profitable and has built a new housing area. The couple When I first arrived, I was assigned two bedrooms and one living room.

All the electrical appliances at home have been shipped here. The postal service cannot transport large items. Railway transportation costs a lot of money, but it is much more cost-effective than buying new ones.

Some of the furniture in the house were old furniture from Zhou Shunyi's uncle's house. Before the family came here together, Zhou Shunyi came here just to clean up the new home.

Everything is fully furnished and the two bedrooms and one living room look like the same thing.

Chen Xiuyun and Zhou Shunyi were busy cleaning up their home. A Ford pickup truck and a blue car were parked at the door of the chemical plant's family yard, causing people to run around and play in the big yard and talk together downstairs. the attention of female comrades.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?"

The car window moved down, revealing a young and beautiful face.

It was none other than Jiang Xinyu in the car.

"Uncle, look for Zhou Shunyi and Chen Xiuyun. They should have only been here three days."

She came on time.

Chen Xiuyun told her the date of the train ticket. She had been thinking about it for three days, and everything should be settled. She and Jiang Yuzhu discussed coming over on Zhou Qi's day off, and Zhou Qi asked for two more days of leave from the unit.

When the winter vacation came, Chen Jinhua found two more students for her who needed tutoring, and Jiang Xinyu also coordinated her time to come here.

I drove here for more than seven hours, and my whole body ached from being jolted.

The blue car belongs to her family, and the Ford pickup truck belongs to Gao Weihua. He got an old one from nowhere for the project. The cab is not warm, the windows cannot be closed tightly and there is air leakage. Jiang Yuzhu can't stand the cold and sits in Jiang Xinyu's car, alone. Liu Zhouqi drove the car alone and got here due to the bumps and cold.

A kind person led the way, and the children and adults watching the excitement followed the two cars all the way to the downstairs of the new residence.

Chen Xiuyun's house was on the first floor. When she heard the noise outside, she looked out the window and saw two cars parked in front of the building.

She was thinking at the time, whose family was so luxurious? Is there some big boss living in this building? It would be too low-key to move furniture and two cars.

The blue car was very dazzling, so Chen Xiuyun took a second look, and then saw her two daughters pushing open the door and getting out of the car one after another. A familiar person also got out of another pickup truck. It was not her second son-in-law. who is it?

Chen Xiuyun rubbed his eyes.

It turns out that the people who are so coquettish are her two daughters and son-in-law!

"Lao Zhou, stop cleaning the TV, Xiaochuan, come out quickly, your sister and brother-in-law are here."

Jiang Xinyu bought a lot of things for her mother this time.

Zhou Qi and Jiang Yuzhu were short of money, so they simply paid for the washing machine, hired someone to renovate the furniture, and brought in a lot of annual goods. Jiang Xinyu wanted to buy a washing machine for her biological mother. Although she had enough royalties to buy it, she still asked her mother-in-law for her opinion.

Wang Sumei's opinion was that she had no objection. Her family was already living well, so buying a washing machine for her in-laws was really nothing. Not only that, she also went to the market and bought a bunch of food for Jiang Xinyu to bring over.

Two wine glasses were broken in the carriage, and Chen Xiuyun felt distressed. "What are you doing with this money? There are people selling glasses here, and there are tea bottles and other things at home."

Jiang Xinyu: "My mother-in-law went to the market to buy them. Those plates were beautiful. She liked them. She bought a bunch of them at home and asked me to bring half of them to you."

Has her mother-in-law really changed? In the past, she would spend money to buy things that were not lacking in the house because the plates and glasses were so beautiful?

Dried kelp, dried yellow croaker, a big black fish that was all dead hanging from a straw rope, toffee, tea, tobacco and alcohol, rice noodles, tea bottles, cups and plates, bedding and an eye-catching washing machine.

The group of people carried it in several times before carrying everything in the trunk back to the house.

When people in the family courtyard were originally curious about Chen Xiuyun's family, seeing this posture, the residents upstairs all looked down from the railings.

Jiang Xinyu brought a basketball to Xiaochuan. Jiang Yuzhu didn't buy him anything, but she entered the house and gave him fifty cents.

The two cabinets Zhou Qila brought are new, but the long chair was used before at home. Giving old furniture away is not a waste. Although it is old, it has been repainted and looks like new. It is stable on the ground, very comfortable to sit on with a blanket, and looks decent when guests come to your home.

It was getting dark outside, so Zhou Shunyi piled up the extra stools and said, "I'm going to the factory canteen to get food."

Chen Xiuyun held him back: "Bring some rice back. I saw that the fish they brought back were half dead. After a while, I chopped up the fish and you showed me your hand."

Zhou Qi said with a smile: "You can't tell that uncle is still a chef. We have to taste your cooking today."

Zhou Shunyi smiled and said yes, lit a cigarette and went out.

Jiang Xinyu walked around the small house and was surprised to see a gas tank stove. "Not every household in the capital has used this. This factory is quite good."

The gas tank stove must be allocated before it can be used. The gas tank is rationed every month. If you cook two more meals on a daily basis, you may run out of gas, and it is inconvenient to refill it every time.

Her family now uses a stove in the winter and an old-fashioned stove in the summer.

Jiang Xinyu was originally thinking about replacing one at home, but the gas tank was a safety hazard, and it was troublesome to replace it after running out of gas. There was no floor-standing stove that was safe and convenient. She was not afraid of burning the stove, but was afraid of the gas tank. If you want to use it, just wait until Chen Yi comes back and then change it.

"You have been here for two days, how come you don't have all the cooking tools?"

Chen Xiuyun shook his head: "There was an accident on the way. He just arrived yesterday. It's a credit to him that he came to clean it up in advance to clean it up like this today."

"You guys sit in the room first, and I'll borrow some seasoning from his uncle."

Jiang Xinyu shifted her gaze to Xiaochuan, who was sitting there holding a basketball.

Compared to last year when I saw him, this kid is much taller, but he doesn't talk as much as before.

She remembered that every time she came back to see her mother, even if the boy didn't speak, his eyes would sparkle when he saw the things she brought back.

But now, it doesn't have the same energy as before.
