Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 165 Not giving face?

From the barbecue stall at the gate of the factory, to the branch of the textile factory, to the Nantian Catering Center store, finally to the food street, and even the nearest Kunlun coal stove.

Lin Jiayin told Chen Jingen in detail. Chen Jingen was smoking. At first, it sounded okay, but gradually he looked dissatisfied.

"Jiayin, don't say nice things to that kid. I'm not stupid. I agree that he made some money, but he makes a lot of money."

"Humph, how can money be so easy to make?"

Chen Jingen said disdainfully, and the more he spoke, the more he insisted on his opinion.

At this time, Ermao had already gone in and out several times, carrying the things from the oxcart into the house and stacking them against the wall.

"Then - then, little brother, stop being so busy. What are you doing? Why do you get so many of them?"

Chen Jingen stood up in surprise and looked at the boxes piled high.

"It's over soon, just two more trips."

"I don't know what's inside. You have to ask Brother Chen for this."

Er Mao smiled and said, then walked out again and quickly moved the remaining things.

"Sister-in-law, I've finished my work here and will leave first."

Ermao said to Lin Jiayin.

"Why don't you have dinner before leaving? You'll be busy all day."

"No, I still have things to do at home, and I have to go back and help with the cleaning."

Lin Jiayin said reluctantly, but Er Mao shook her head and refused.

When he said this, Lin Jiayin had no choice but to nod and let him go.

At this time, Chen Jingen also found a gift with his name written on it among the gifts. It was obviously prepared by Chen Huajiang for his family.

He opened it and saw a lot of candies and snacks, as well as a lot of clothes.

Among them, there are two large cloaks, which are furry and worth a lot of money.

"Where did you get this thing?"

Chen Jingen's eyes widened, he put the cloak on the table, looked at Lin Jiayin and asked.

"Dad, you should be detailed now."

"These are bought, and there are invoices from department stores."

Lin Jiayin said helplessly.

"I'm going out to smoke."

Only then did Chen Jingen finally believe it, but his heart was turned upside down and in a mess.

He never expected that the boy at home would actually make money, and make a lot of money.

After a while, Wang Xinhong also walked out of the kitchen. When she saw the gifts brought to her by her son and daughter-in-law, she was both surprised and surprised.

Then she took her husband into the room and had a discussion.

There are two flowers on each table.

Chen Huajiang came to grandma's house, brought gifts to grandma, and chatted with her for a while.

But my grandma was a little deaf, so Chen Huajiang had to speak loudly and teach her how to use the radio.

The radios these days are very cumbersome, because there is no automatic channel search and tuning function, you have to keep turning the rotary button to search for stations little by little.

After working for a long time, Chen Huajiang found a station, and then patiently guided his grandma several times before she learned how to use it.

Listening to the voice on the sound machine, the old man smiled happily.

"Good. It's clearer than the sound at home."

"I can get the station at home, but there's always the sound of Zrazzla."

Grandma put the radio to her ear and said to Chen Huajiang with a smile.

Seeing her so happy, Chen Huajiang felt much brighter.

Grandpa died early. Grandpa passed away when Chen Huajiang was born, so he didn't have much impression of grandpa.

When they were young, grandma loved them very much and kept all the delicious and fun things for them.

Fortunately, grandma was still in good health. Chen Huajiang remembered that the old man died at the age of 89, two years before he was reborn.

When leaving, Chen Huajiang stuffed his grandma with another 200 yuan. Naturally, he tried to evade it, but the old man refused to accept it.

But Chen Huajiang couldn't stand his persistence, so grandma finally accepted it.

When I got home in the evening, before I even had time to take a bite of my meal, my parents called me into my room and interrogated me.

"Do I have to lie to you?"

"What Lin Jiayin said is true. Whether you believe it or not, it is a fact?"

The question was naturally about how he made money by opening a store. Chen Huajiang was also a little helpless and said with his hands spread out.

"Don't tell anyone about this."

While smoking a cigarette, Chen Jingen said in a deep voice.

"That's right, don't reveal your wealth. But you probably won't be able to hide those stores in the future. People from the village will also go to the market to buy things, and they will know about it sooner or later."

"It doesn't matter, but you must not let others know how to make more money, you know?"

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Huajiang seriously and added.

The mother on the side also nodded straightly and looked at her son seriously.

"Don't worry, I'm not an idiot. I just have to tell you."

"How can I tell other people? Is it wrong for me to hold someone's hand while walking on the street and tell them how much money I make? Isn't that wrong?"

Of course Chen Huajiang knew his parents' concern, so he rolled his eyes and said.

"That's fine." Seeing that his son knew what to do, Chen Jingen nodded and walked out.

Only then did Chen Huajiang go to the living room to have dinner.

The next day, as soon as he went out, he found that the neighbors were pointing at him.

Apparently the news that he was expelled from the factory had already spread, Chen Huajiang didn't take it seriously, and even nodded to some villagers.

He had encountered such a situation in his previous life. At that time, he felt full of shame, but now it was just a trivial matter like drizzle.

After walking around the village for a while, I saw a group of people gathering under a banyan tree not far from the village entrance to gamble on Pai Gow.

"Hua Jiang, come here!"

Chen Jianjun was among them. He saw Chen Huajiang walking not far away and waved to him.

"Brother Huajiang, do you want to play two games?"

"Come on, come on, I'll give you my seat."

Everyone also said one after another, calling Chen Huajiang to come over and play a few games.

It's just a table with simple Pai Gow props placed on it, and money ranging from a few cents to a dollar are placed around it.

"You guys go ahead and play, I'm not interested in this."

Chen Huajiang said with a smile and waved his hand to refuse.

In both lives, he has not been interested in such things.Compared to this kind of thing, he would rather take a gamble in the mall.

"Why, don't you give me face?"

Chen Jianjun suddenly looked at Chen Huajiang and said dissatisfiedly.

"No, just give Brother Jianjun some face."

"After the Chinese New Year, I guess you'll have to hang out with brother Jianjun."

"Hua Jiang, don't be too arrogant. Now that you are no longer a worker in the Hongqi Factory, you should still show respect to Brother Jianjun and play a trick."

Everyone also said that they would help Chen Jianjun run against Chen Huajiang.

"You play."

Chen Huajiang smiled, turned and left directly.

This made everyone look bad. Unexpectedly, so many of them were talking, but Chen Huajiang still refused to give him face.

Especially Chen Jianjun's face darkened.

"stop!"

He shouted in a deep voice and walked over quickly.

"Chen Huajiang, are you really not giving me any face?"

He stared at Chen Huajiang with a somewhat cold expression, and spoke with a threatening look.

"You must be reasonable when you speak, and who is not giving face to whom?"

"I don't like gambling, but you insist on asking me to gamble. Obviously you don't give me face."

"That's it, you have fun while I go play somewhere else."

Chen Huajiang said indifferently, turned and left.

This made Chen Jianjun's face look even harder, but he quickly changed his expression and put on a fake smile.

"If you don't want to bet, then you won't bet. But I will invite everyone to the town for dinner at noon. You won't deny me face this time, right?"
