C1939 A Child of His Grandmother's Parents
After getting off the plane, Dongfang Qingyu saw Li Hongdou looking for something with her phone.
"Taking a taxi. I didn't tell my family I was coming back. No one came to pick me up." Yes, Li Hongdou said.
"No need. Someone came to pick me up." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Why didn't I know?" Li Hongdou looked at him curiously. Could it be that he had friends here?
"They're here, over there!" Dongfang Qingyu waved his phone in the distance. Li Hongdou followed his gaze and looked over. A handsome young man was holding a pick-up sign with three big words written on it: Li Hongdou. She felt like she had returned to the school season and was being reported by her seniors.
"Thank you for your hard work, I will come and take my luggage." The young man was very diligent.
... "Thank you." Li Hongdou originally said that she did not want it, but seeing Dongfang Qingyu's casual manner, she could only let the young man work a little. Fortunately, there were not many things.
At the exit, a brand new large car stopped by the roadside, attracting the attention of the passers-by.
"This car!" The young man skillfully put the things in the trunk and then asked Dongfang Qingyu, "Do you need me to drive?"
"No need. I will drive by myself. Thank you for your hard work." Dongfang Qingyu touched his pocket and found that he did not bring any cash.
"No need. Our leader has already given it to me." The young man knew what Dongfang Qingyu was looking for when he saw Dongfang Qingyu's actions. He waved his hand casually and said, "Have a safe journey. I will leave first. The key is in the car!"
"Not your friend?" Li Hongdou asked.
"An employee of a friend's company!" Dongfang Qingyu's network was very small, and he had only studied for a few years. He did not have many friends, but he knew his fellow countrymen. He didn't know anyone in Anhui, but it wasn't difficult for Hong Shisan. His network was huge, and he had friends from all over the country. If he needed to do something, he could do it with a phone call.
"I need to find a mall to buy something, Wang Yao said. Oh... Are you hungry? Have something to eat first? " Li Hongdou looked at him.
"Eat some snacks as a cushion. We can eat when we get home. I didn't really want to eat anything after getting off the plane." Dongfang Qingyu could feel Li Hongdou's eagerness to go home.
"Then bear with it." Li Hongdou was a little apologetic.
She naturally could not go home empty-handed, even though Guangdong was rich in items. It was more worthwhile to buy in Guangdong, but if she counted the labor costs, unless it was a specialty, it was more practical and efficient to buy them locally. It was not impossible to transport it, but it was troublesome.
An Hui was not Li Hongdou's hometown, but his grandmother's. When she was young, she was raised by her grandmother's parents. She was not close to them and was close to them.
Li Hongdou went to buy children's clothes, players, and old people's clothes. Dongfang Qingyu, on the other hand, went to a bank to withdraw money. Nowadays, in this society, cash was used very little. But New Year's money was still used to using cash, which was why it had that kind of taste. As for the other tobacco and health products, he didn't need to buy them. The young man had already prepared them.
Dongfang Qingyu mentioned that he was going to see his girlfriend to see his parents. Hong Shisan immediately prepared them well.
They got off the plane before 4 PM. They bought for an hour and left at 5: 30. Along the way, Li Hongdou seemed nervous and excited. It had been a long time since she came back.
"What a huge change!" Li Hongdou looked at the scenery outside the window and could not find any familiar places. As the sky darkened, the temperature dropped and the cold wind blew. However, it could not stop people's hearts from returning home. On the road. There were a lot of cars.
"I think you should call home first." Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"Wait a minute. We'll be there soon." Li Hongdou wanted to give the family a surprise.
"I am afraid that there is not enough food in a while." Dongfang Qingyu said.
... "" Li Hongdou covered her mouth and laughed. Her eyes were bent. "It's fine. There's not enough food. I'll make it for you!"
"You look so good when you smile. You have to smile more. Don't keep a straight face all day." Dongfang Qingyu almost froze when he saw it.
"Look at the road!" Li Hongdou blamed him.
The remodelling of the countryside had made the citizens live a urbanized life. However, the charm of the countryside had almost been destroyed. Now, if they wanted to see the local style, they could only go deep into the mountains.
Although Li Hongdou really wanted to give her family a surprise and wanted to knock on the door, she still had to make a phone call. The construction of the new countryside had changed the appearance of the households. She could not find a home anymore.
When the phone rang, Li Hongdou's uncle and aunt opened the door and walked out. Dongfang Qingyu did not know whether to laugh or cry. The car was parked at the place where Li Hongdou's grandfather's home was.
After walking around for a long time, the final stop was the destination. Li Hongdou was also very helpless. She could only blame the construction of the new village for being too thorough. She could not find any reference items. The sky was also one of the reasons.
"Red! Red!"
"Dou Dou!"
"Hongdou!"
...
"Cousin!"
"Cousin!"
...
Li Hongdou's grandfather, grandmother, two uncles, two uncles' sons and daughters, and the youngest uncle's sons and daughters all rushed out. The family of more than ten people was very lively.
Dongfang Qingyu stood by the car and looked at the happy scene of his family meeting. He really wanted to blend in, but he couldn't. He felt a bit of envy and bitterness. He would never be able to experience such a scene.
Eldest uncle's son, Li Hongdou's eldest cousin, was the oldest in the third generation. They were already married and had children. They were married and had children almost at the same time. It was also Li Hongdou's first time seeing her eldest sister-in-law and little nephew. She formally gave them a greeting gift.
Other than that, there was also an unfamiliar face, which was the daughter of her little uncle. He was the same age as Li Hongdou, but he was the boyfriend of her younger cousin, who was three months younger. He had just arrived home today. The boy was here to see his parents today. That was why his two uncles came back so early. In the past, they would only come home tomorrow.
The young man's name was High Salary, a name that made people feel that he was very rich.
"Don't stand there. Let's talk inside. It's warm inside!" Li Hongdou's grandmother was 76 years old, but her body was tough. Her voice was loud and her personality was strong. She was the one who made the decisions in the family.
"Yes, yes, yes. You guys eat and chat as you eat." Her grandfather was younger than 3 years old. He agreed with the old saying. A girl in her third year hugged a golden brick. Although the old man didn't carry a golden brick, he was healthy and healthy for the rest of his life. Peaceful and safe. ... It was the greatest fortune.
The living room was huge, but it was a little crowded with more than ten people. However, everyone was very happy and didn't care about that. When the adults came to the table, the eldest uncle's two daughters and the youngest uncle's two sons were between 15-18 years old. They sat on the sofa and squeezed on the table. They couldn't squeeze.
"What does Qingyu do?" His uncle had the bearing of a family leader. He wasn't very tall, so he followed his father. However, his eyes were firm and his voice was loud and clear.
"I work at a biotech company." Dongfang Qingyu answered seriously and did not say it was professional player. He knew that in many places, in the eyes of the older generation, games were just not proper work.
"You must be at the level of a supervisor for this kind of game, right?" His uncle asked with a smile.
"Manager!" Dongfang Qingyu looked at Li Hongdou. Anyway, it was to make everyone happy and give Li Hongdou face. He could make it up. Li Hongdou quietly watched him act cool and did not expose him.
"He is a manager at such a young age. Brother-in-law is so amazing. His salary must be very high." Cousin Wu Min exclaimed.
"It's not very high. It's only 70,000 to 80,000 a month. Plus the bonus, year-end bonus, and so on, it's not even a million." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"One million!" Wu Min was truly shocked, while his boyfriend's expression changed. His monthly salary of 120,000 was originally thought to be very high, but he did not expect that there would be someone who would break the deal.
"Qingyu should not be more than 25 years old, right?" The eldest cousin asked. He suspected that Dongfang Qingyu was bragging.
"22 years old." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"What does your family do?" The older cousin's expression became serious. A 22-year-old had already taken the position of company's manager, and his annual salary was a million. This didn't sound like a real deal.
"My professor is an academician from the Central Academy of Sciences. He went into the sea to start a business. As his student, I have this kind of resources." Dongfang Qingyu didn't answer the question, but the older cousin already understood.
"Did you buy the car outside?" The high salary couldn't help but ask.
"No!" Dongfang Qingyu replied. Just as the high salary was about to heave a sigh of relief, his heart was immediately raised again. "Friend, you know that I don't have a car here. Lend me a few days to drive. I drive a BMW when I go to work."
"Your friend is so generous." Gao Xin smiled and quietly put away the car keys.
"Brother-in-law, where do you plan to buy a house? My hometown is still in Guangzhou. I heard that the housing price in Guangzhou is very high." Wu Min asked.
"I bought a house in Guangzhou. I will temporarily stay in Guangzhou. If Hongdou wants to go somewhere else, I will buy another one." Dongfang Qingyu said.
Gao Xin's neck shrank, and he was hit hard. He had to borrow houses from everywhere to buy a house in his hometown. From Dongfang Qingyu's words, buying a house was like buying cabbage.
"Cousin, when do you plan to get married?" Wu Min's eyes lit up. She could not tell what kind of person this cousin of hers was. However, his external appearance and pocket had already passed. He was a proper Fifth Elder Wang. Even if he wasn't a diamond, he still had gold.
With a car, a house, and a high salary, wasn't this what all girls dreamt of?
"This isn't decided yet. Let's go home and take a look first before discussing other matters." Li Hongdou said.
"You have to be careful when getting married. It is good that you have your own thoughts. It is the time for young people to pay attention to the freedom of love. It is not convenient for adults to interfere too much." Eldest uncle's gaze when looking at Dongfang Qingyu had clearly become much friendlier.
"When I get married, you are the one who interfered the most." His cousin couldn't help but say.
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they started laughing loudly.
"Bastard, you are my son. I don't care who cares about you!" Eldest uncle must have drunk quite a bit of wine. His dark face was glowing red.
The eldest cousin immediately shrunk his neck, not daring to speak anymore.
"Qingyu, eat more food. You must be exhausted from running all the way here." His grandfather was kind, smiling at everyone. However, he didn't know how to speak Mandarin. Instead, he spoke in the local dialect.
"Alright!" Dongfang Qingyu couldn't understand him at all, so he responded blindly.
"We came back from a plane. It took us more than an hour. Plus, we drove for less than three hours. It's not too tiring. " Li Hongdou laughed secretly. Knowing that Dongfang Qingyu had finished his trial-hall hearing, she also relaxed. She chatted with the family members about their daily life.
Grandfather and wives were used to sleeping early. In addition, Li Hongdou, Wu Min and the others only slept today. After rushing for a day, they finished eating and went to sleep after washing up. The village was not like a big city. Before ten o'clock, they basically all went to sleep.
