Chapter 561 Wandering in Jinshan (3)

Author: August Weilan

But Chen Jinshan saw through the two people's thoughts at a glance and smiled lightly: "In the past, I couldn't accept this kind of life. When you get to my age, you will understand."

Meng Xiaobei: "..."

Chen Ran: "I can't understand."

Chen Jinshan took out fresh meat and a bag of carrots and corn kernels from the refrigerator, put the fresh meat into a blender and crushed it, then mixed it with the carrots and corn kernels to make dumpling fillings.

Chen Ran stood up, walked over to help, and said in a stiff tone: "But you can choose a better life."

"Ah Ran," Meng Xiaobei told him to pay attention to his tone of voice.

Chen Jinshan didn't answer, and pressed the machine to continue mixing. The noise overwhelmed Chen Ran's voice, and Chen Ran had to shut up temporarily. After a few seconds, the mixer stopped.

At first, Chen Jinshan sent Xiaolan to a local drug rehabilitation center, and he went to work in a company. Three months later, Xiaolan came out of the drug rehabilitation center, and the two lived a peaceful and happy life. Who would have thought that...

Last month, Xiaolan's drug addiction relapsed, and Chen Jinshan decided to quit his job and personally supervise Xiaolan's drug rehabilitation at home, which led to the scene that just happened.

Chen Jinshan has always regarded money as dirt. Unless necessary, he would not hoard a lot of money. In his concept, money is an external thing, just enough to use it. He said: "It is true that many high-tech companies have hired me, and I have worked for a while.

Time, plus the salary you gave me before, is enough for the two of us to live luxuriously. Even if we pay off the drug money and debts owed by Xiaolan, the remaining money will be enough to support the two of us."

Chen Ran spread his hands and motioned to Chen Jinshan to see what kind of life he was in. Just when he was about to speak, Chen Jinshan pressed the switch of the mixer again.

Chen Ran was helpless. Although he and Chen Jinshan were uncles and nephews, they felt like father and son.

"You don't believe in my ability?" Chen Jinshan said, "At present, it's just because of Xiaolan that I have to resign to accompany her. When she stabilizes this time, I will take her to continue traveling, but I don't rule out the day when I get tired of it.

Well, I’m going back to my country.”

Meng Xiaobei walked to the window and looked out at the bustling market. The hot restaurants were emitting white smoke. He suddenly understood what the smoke of human beings was. Suddenly he turned his head and stared at Chen Jinshan. Chen Jinshan raised his head and looked at Meng Xiaobei.

Smiled.

Chen Jinshan turned off the button, poured the meat filling from the machine into a glass vessel, added various condiments and mixed well.

"Tell me, what kind of life do you think is good?"

Chen Ran sat back on the sofa in silence, while Chen Jinshan prepared the fillings and started kneading the dough, his movements natural and smooth as if he was enjoying a piece of light music.

Halfway through rubbing, Xiaolan called out softly from the bedroom, with guilt and uneasiness in her voice. Chen Jinshan put down what he was doing, untied his apron, went into the bedroom and took Xiaolan out with him.

"It doesn't matter, they are all family members." Xiaolan obviously felt very embarrassed, so Chen Jinshan introduced her as he walked, "This is Ah Ran, my nephew, and this is Xiao Bei, his girlfriend."

"Hello." Chen Ran and Meng Xiaobei greeted Xiaolan.

Xiaolan sat down on the sofa and stopped talking. She probably felt that her ugly appearance due to drug addiction was being seen by others, and she felt very embarrassed.

Xiaolan is only about 27 or 28 years old, while Chen Jinshan is in his early forties. Compared with Chen Jinshan's high hairline and white hair on his temples, Xiaolan looks much younger.

Chen Jinshan returned to the dining table and started to roll out the dough. Xiaolan stood up and poured a glass of water. She put it to his lips with one hand and took a tissue from the table with the other hand to wipe his sweat. She said a few words. Chen Jinshan naturally

He drank the water from her hand.

"Xiaolan asked me to ask you if you want to eat cherry tomatoes? She grew up in South Africa and doesn't speak much Chinese." Chen Jinshan said.

Meng Xiaobei: "African tomatoes? OK, I can have some."

"Ah Ran, come here and help," Chen Jinshan said, "I'll go to the rooftop to pick some fruits."

Chen Ran walked over and took the rolling pin, and Meng Xiaobei also went over to help. After looking at it, he didn't know what to do, so he had to stand aside and watch Chen Ran roll out the dough, then put the meat filling into the dough and shape it into dumplings.

There is a small door on the side of the kitchen, and outside is a terrace of about ten square meters. A few pieces of clothes are dried on a long rope, and various fruits and vegetables are grown in high and low flower pots.

As expected, it is true that wherever there are Chinese people, there will be vegetable gardens.

Meng Xiaobei raised his head, looked at the mottled water seepage marks on the ceiling, and said, "I can understand why he can live here."

Chen Ran: "I just think that with his ability, he can live a better life."

Meng Xiaobei: "He is doing very well now."

Chen Ran turned his head and looked at Chen Jinshan who was picking tomatoes on the terrace, and then at Meng Xiaobei.

"I was wrong," Chen Ran suddenly said.

Meng Xiaobei: "Do you think our lives are really better compared to this?"

Chen Ran paused while wrapping his dumplings and looked at Meng Xiaobei.

"Are you discussing how to take us back?" Chen Jinshan came in with a bowl filled with small tomatoes of various sizes and colors that looked very original, and said, "I live a very comfortable life here."

Chen Ran was speechless and chose to shut up.

Chen Jinshan: "I know you want to save me, but I don't think I need saving. The one who needs saving is you."

Chen Ran: "Are you kidding? Do you know how much wealth I have now? You are the one who needs to be saved."

Meng Xiaobei: "Hello."

Chen Jinshan looked calm: "But I haven't seen how easy your life is. Aren't you exhausted all day long? Does the material extravagance give you happiness? Or does it make you burdened? You decide for yourself."

Went out to pick onions again.

Chen Ran: "Can you be happy if you are indifferent to fame and wealth and don't care about money?"

"Do you think you have wealth?" Chen Jinshan pinched a few green onions and came back, "I think the wealth has you pretty much. You are working day and night for them."

Chen Ran: "There is no doubt that I own them because I can control them at will."

Chen Jinshan glanced at Chen Ran and said: "They control you. If you receive a call from the company at this time and know that there will be a financial turmoil tomorrow morning, I bet you will not be in the mood to eat these dumplings tonight.

You will say, uncle, I'm really sorry, I have to go back to the company immediately, let's get together again later, and then rub oil on the soles of my feet."

Chen Ran: "..."

Meng Xiaobei thought that maybe the only person in this world who could block Chen Ran was Chen Jinshan. When she argued with Chen Ran, Chen Ran was on par with her, but in front of Chen Jinshan, Chen Ran couldn't argue completely.
