Chapter 373: One in a Thousand

No matter what Chen Zhihe thinks, Chen's mother expressed her attitude anyway.

Although it may not have much effect, at least it is a silent support she gave Lin Qingxuan.

Chen Zhihe knew that it must be because of what his father said to his mother last night that he got this one-in-a-million red envelope.

Lin Qingxuan opened her mouth slightly, not because she knew the meaning of this number, but because she had never seen such a big red envelope before.

Even though she had guessed when she received the red envelope just now, she was still a little surprised by the amount of money.

Chen Zhihe pretended to be jealous and said: "Do you know how much the most red envelope my mother has ever given me is?"

Lin Qingxuan asked curiously: "How much?"

Chen Zhihe made a one gesture and said: "100 yuan."

Chen Zhihe didn't lie about this. He did very well in the final exam of his third year in junior high school. Mother Chen felt that the high school entrance exam was about to take place, so she reluctantly rewarded him.

Just like that, I was later ordered by Chen’s mother to buy a bunch of study materials.

At that time, Chen Zhihe felt that he might as well not give up the 100 yuan.

Lin Qingxuan didn't believe it. Although she didn't have much New Year's money when she was a child, this 100 yuan was not a small amount in rural areas.

But Chen’s mother got 10,000 yuan, which still frightened her. This was very generous. How could she be so stingy to her son?

It's not that Lin Qingxuan has never seen money. She has been short of money since she was a child, but this does not mean that she does not know the weight of 10,000 yuan in rural Fengshan.

"Isn't it possible? I don't think Auntie is that kind of person?"

Chen Zhihe curled his lips and said, "What kind of person? He is stingy."

Lin Qingxuan immediately retorted: "You said it, I didn't."

Chen Zhihe shook his head and said, "She is just being generous to you."

Lin Qingxuan laughed and said: "Because Auntie likes me."

Chen Zhihe did not deny this at all, otherwise her mother would not have given such a big red envelope.

Although, all this money was given to her by him after he came back, but according to his character, if it goes into her pocket, then it is her money.

Maybe she mainly wanted to express the meaning of choosing one in a million, but it also meant to express her love for Lin Qingxuan.

Chen Zhihe nodded in agreement and said, "Then just take it. It's rare for her to be generous."

Lin Qingxuan rolled her eyes at Chen Zhihe, as if she was dissatisfied with him saying that Chen's mother was stingy.

After thinking about it, Lin Qingxuan thought to herself that she would definitely give Mother Chen a gift next time she comes.

Near noon, when Chen Zhihe drove to pick up Chen's mother, Lin Qingxuan suddenly received a call from Tang Wan.

In addition to asking about her current situation and wishing her a happy New Year, Tang Wan thought that she was in her hometown anyway, so he asked her if she would like to visit her relatives and say New Year greetings.

It's a good thing I didn't go back to my hometown. If I don't walk around during the Chinese New Year, some people will gossip after all.

Tang Wan didn't mind, but Lin Boyuan cared about it very much.

But because of his special status, he would inevitably encounter some difficult things when he went back, so he rarely went back these years.

Lin Qingxuan happened to be in his hometown this year, so he asked Tang Wan to send a message.

Lin Qingxuan thought for a while and somehow agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Qingxuan called Chen Zhihe and repeated her mother's words and asked him what to do.

Chen Zhihe was driving, and without thinking about it, he said, "Well, let's go back to the car and go to pay New Year's greetings. Then we can meet at your house later?"

Lin Qingxuan agreed.

After picking up Father Chen and Mother Chen, Chen Zhihe talked about the matter.

When she learned that Lin Qingxuan was leaving, Chen's mother was very reluctant to leave. However, she went to a relative's house to pay New Year's greetings for a very good reason, so it was difficult for her to stay.

Therefore, the Chen family originally had an opening meal on the second day of the Lunar New Year, but had it at noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Because according to the tradition of Fengshan, people worship gods on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and only visit relatives to pay New Year greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and they are all relatively close relatives.

Therefore, on the first day of the new year, dumplings or leftovers from the Chinese New Year are usually eaten, and on the second day of the new year, this meal is the so-called opening meal of the new year.

After eating, even though Mother Chen was reluctant to leave, Lin Qingxuan still drove away.

Seeing the three Chen family members standing at the door looking at her in the rearview mirror, Lin Qingxuan felt a little happy and a little sad.

"That's fine. Since you said you like me, if Ruan Mi is coming, why not let me let her go?"

It turned out that when Chen Zhihe and Ruan Mi were on the phone last night, Lin Qingxuan heard some of it, but not all of it.

That's why she knocked on Chen Zhihe's door at night.

You know, her mother had no intention of asking her to go, she just asked casually and she agreed.

…

In the evening, Mother Chen was in a bad mood.

There was suddenly no one in the house, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Lin Qingxuan had only been here for a while, but she was somewhat used to her presence.

Father Chen comforted him: "It's not like I'll never come again, just be open-minded. And, let me tell you, it's not a bad thing to leave now."

Mother Chen only listened to the second half of the sentence and was a little annoyed: "What do you mean?"

Father Chen didn't argue with her and analyzed: "There will be a lot of people coming to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow. How will you introduce Xiao Lin to Zhi He's girlfriend?"

Mother Chen retorted: "No way?"

Father Chen shook his head: "For you, Xiao Lin is one in a million, but can you be sure about what happens next? Don't forget, there is another one out there. This is not a sure thing, so don't be too sure.

It’s better to make it public so that it won’t sound bad if you say it later.”

It is true that Mother Chen likes Lin Qingxuan, but she is not disgusted with Ruan Mi, and what Father Chen said does make sense.

Rural areas are good at everything, but they talk a lot. If we don't get together later, there's no telling what the spread will be like.

Seeing that Chen's mother didn't say anything, Chen's father continued to persuade: "Don't worry about it. I think both of them are good. Either one will work. It depends on the son's choice."

Mother Chen subconsciously retorted: "Don't let the last two fall behind."

Immediately, she felt that these words were unlucky and quickly said "bah bah bah".

Father Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Go to sleep. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Your son is no longer a child."

Mother Chen silently turned off the light and muttered, "I have children and grandchildren, but I don't even see the shadow of my grandchildren."

…

The second day of the first lunar month is a good time to travel.

Early in the morning, there was an endless stream of people coming to the Chen family to pay New Year greetings. Most of them were neighbors. They put down their things, drank some tea and left.

At noon, the only person left was Chen Weiwei, who had rushed back from Jiangcheng.

I have settled in Jiangcheng for many years, and my business has been doing quite well over the years. The uncle of the Chen family is very busy during the Chinese New Year. Basically, Chen Weiwei does all the work when he goes back to his hometown to pay New Year greetings. He only goes back when there are important things in his hometown that require his intervention.

Mother Chen was very happy to see Chen Weiwei.

Chen's mother already likes her, and due to Chen Zhihe's relationship, Chen Weiwei and Chen's mother are particularly affectionate this year.

As soon as she came and put down her things, she helped Chen's mother in the kitchen.

Although it was basically a disservice, Mother Chen was still happy.

Taking advantage of the time when no one was around, Chen Weiwei secretly asked Chen's mother: "Third Aunt, did Zhihe tell you whether he has a girlfriend?"

She was testing whether Chen Zhihe had told his family about Ruan Mi. If he hadn't told her, it would be hard for her to bring it up.

Mother Chen smiled and said, "Why, you two siblings haven't been in contact?"

Chen Weiwei chuckled and said, "We have contact, so I'm here to ask you about it."

Mother Chen thought for a while and realized that Chen Weiwei was not an outsider and there was nothing she couldn't say. In addition, she was also panicking, so she said, "Yes, I brought it back during the Chinese New Year. Don't talk about it everywhere."

"

Chen Weiwei said "Ah" and blurted out: "That's not right. Didn't Ruan Mi attend the Spring Festival Gala?"
