Chapter 1716 Meeting of Old Men
At this time, Ah Hu hurried out, holding three large cups in his hand.
"Come in! It's windy outside! I'll take you to the stove! Come on, drink some hot first!"
Cheng Tianyuan stood up and pulled Chen Min on the grass up.
Then, one of them took a water cup, followed Ah Hu into the house, and headed straight to the small yard behind.
The so-called small yard actually has only one side facing outward, while the others are designed with small windows on the wall.
Ahu laughed and said, "This is what my daughter bought and gave to me online. Look! It's big enough? It can burn firewood and charcoal, it can make barbecue and fire. It has many functions!"
Cheng Tianyuan praised: "It looks very good! The fire just started to warm up."
Ah Hu ordered firewood and asked with a smile: "There are meat and vegetables in the small refrigerator. Let's make some barbecue. How about it? Then add some wine-"
"Don't!" Cheng Tianyuan stopped him and glared at him, "You can't drink, have you forgotten? The blood pressure in winter is prone to unstable, so you are not relaxed. After a while, Wang Qing will find out, and he will scold you to death!"
Chen Min shook his head and said, "What time is it? If you struggle for a while, it may be dawn. Your blood pressure has always been unstable, so you won't need to drink."
"Hehehe!" Ahu smiled embarrassedly: "I... I haven't drunk for a few days, and I'm very hungry. Let's drink some red wine, the degree is very low, so it shouldn't be a problem. Are you there? Can you help me block Ah Qing."
Cheng Tianyuan pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "I'll go home and sleep later."
Ah Hu hurriedly asked for help and looked at Chen Min.
Chen Min didn't dare to meet his eyes and pretended to look at the stove.
"I...I can't drink before going to bed, don't pull me. I have to go to the hospital tomorrow. I can help you block it for a while, but I can't help you block it for the whole day. Can my sister-in-law be able to spare you?"
Ah Hu was extremely sad and had to hold back this thought.
"The winter night in the imperial capital is too long, and it will be at least seven hours before dawn. How can I enjoy the long night without a little wine? Last time, we three brothers chatted, drink and sleep - it seems that they have been many years!"
Chen Min thought about it carefully and replied: "It seems that it was more than ten years ago. At that time, Ayuan built a villa in Chengjia Village and wanted to enter the house. The whole family returned to Chengjia Village to celebrate. Brother Ahu and I brought a lot of things and a box of beer. We drank and chatted that night. I didn't know what time it was, but we drank until we fell asleep anyway."
"Yes, yes!" Ah Hu also remembered and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's been more than ten years in a flash! How come life passes so quickly! We can only get together for ten years. It's so difficult! We have to drink a small cup tonight, otherwise we'd be sorry for such a great opportunity."
Chen Min laughed and scolded: "After saying that, I still have to drink it! You just want to lose your mind!"
Cheng Tianyuan drank hot water and said warmly: "Let's chat around the stove and don't mess around. Today is not as good as before, and our bodies are far less than ten years ago. Staying up late and drinking more, maybe the children will have to go to the hospital tomorrow."
“Bad talk!”
"Phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Hahaha!"
Chen Min couldn't help but envy him and said, "Brother Ahu, how great it is for you to live in the imperial capital now! You are close to your son, you can play with your grandson every day, and you can become neighbors with Ayuan and the others. Life is lively and happy. When you and your sister-in-law chose to come here, I felt good from the beginning and kept approving you to come. Their children are all in the imperial capital, and you also come to the imperial capital so that you can take care of each other. When you are old, it is the happiest to be able to play with your grandchildren."
"Yes!" Ah Hu smiled and said, "I am old and have minor problems every few days. When I am good, I don't think much about it. Anyway, it will take one day after another. When my health starts to fail, I can't help but miss my children and grandson occasionally. There are only a few people in the family, so it's not easy to go all the way. Now I have to get together, have their own things to do, have their own space to stay, and can get together at any time if I have anything to do. In this case, it's definitely not something that can be solved by any traffic situation! No matter how fast the plane is, it's impossible for my son and daughter to sit for a while to accompany us in three or five days, right?"
"Yeah." Chen Min looked at Cheng Tianyuan beside him and said, "Look at Ayuan and the others, even their sons and daughters are reluctant to leave them to run away!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and explained: "Actually, the biggest reason is that the educational resources in the imperial capital are very good. They are among the best in China, so naturally they don't have to go far to study. In addition, the children are also home-loving, and none of them want to go far away. If they don't go far away, Ling Ling and I have a lot of worries and troubles. I hope they can be like Ah Hu and the others. When we get old and sick, they can take care of us nearby."
Ah Hu knocked on the wooden stick that burned the fire and laughed.
"The main reason is that you are not rebellious. If one or two are disobedient, you might have gone abroad long ago. Also, they don't hate the elderly, especially the wife they married."
Chen Min echoed: "Yes, now many young people don't like to live with their parents-in-law and elders. Not all, but there are a lot of them, which is also a major trend in young families."
Ah Hu came over and lowered his voice: "If this courtyard wasn't big enough, we would have lived with our daughter and our son and the other side. Ah Qing and I would have rented or bought a house nearby. Nowadays, young people have different ideas from our older generations, and they don't want to live together to live together. They prefer to pay attention to private life and pay attention to that... personal space."
"Not bad." Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "Ling Ling had also talked to me before, saying that we could live with a few elderly people. That is the idea of our generation is still traditional. But we think so, we cannot ask young people to be the same as us. So, she arranged the wedding houses of several children early in the morning, not far from here, and could reach them by foot. The second brother was a little ahead of time. The wedding house had not been decorated yet, and Xiaoxiao was pregnant, so she arranged for them to live in the house for the time being. But Ling Ling had already taken them to see the wedding house and told them that when they would move out in the future, she would follow them. At present, the nearest one might be Xiao Xin... If she successfully married Xinzhi, she would only walk one or two minutes."
"Yes!" Ahu gestured with a big hand: "Then is Ayuan's son-in-law's courtyard! The place is more than twice as big as this one, big, wide and beautiful!"
Chen Min was envious and said, "It's great! This is a typical matchmaking family, marrying at the door of the house. If a daughter gets married far away, it will take three years or several years to go back to her parents' home. In fact, it's similar to losing her daughter. Like Xiaoxin, it's not that good. She's just under her nose every day, and you don't have to worry about her daughter's grievances."
"Oh..." Cheng Tianyuan pulled the corner of his mouth and sighed: "After talking, I've talked about it again. Xiaoxin is still the one I worry about the most. Even if I marry at home, I still have a lot of concerns."
