Chapter 25 Returning to China
Due to lack of sleep at night, Chen Yu slept in his seat after boarding the plane the next day. However, his mind was so messy that he couldn't sleep well. While half asleep and half awake, a scene before going abroad appeared before him again.
Chen Yu's hometown is a small county in southern Shandong. His father Chen Haitao is a worker in a state-owned enterprise and his mother is a teacher. When Chen Yu was in the first year of junior high school, he divorced due to emotional incompatibility and now he has formed a family. Chen Yu awarded his father a title, but his stepmother doesn't want him. He has been living with his grandparents in the countryside.
Chen Yu's grandfather is a retired worker from an old state-owned enterprise. He is not a monopoly industry and his salary is not high. However, the countryside expenses are small. His grandmother has a rural household registration and two acres of land, so she can live a good life.
The change in life started from the second year of junior high school. Chen Yu's grades were very good in the first year of junior high school, but because he looked at a school gangster, he was beaten up by a group. Chen Yu couldn't breathe so he stopped the gangster and beat him. Then the two sides retaliated against each other. Chen Yu had no intention of learning and joined some gangsters every day to form a gangster. His grades plummeted, and it seemed that he could only drop out of school and go home. At this time, one of Chen Yu's cousins was a coach in Beijing. Seeing that Chen Yu's physical fitness was good, he let him practice football for a year. When he graduated from junior high school, he brought him to a football club in Beijing to practice football.
Two days before going to Italy, Chen Yu took a 12-hour car from Beijing to his hometown in the countryside. His father and stepmother took his half-brother Chen Hao, who was also there. Chen Yu greeted his grandparents, father and brother, but ignored his stepmother, which made his stepmother very dissatisfied.
"It's vacation. I wanted to pick you up, but the unit is going to be inspected and didn't take time."
Chen Haitao's tone was filled with pity and guilt. This was his biological son, but he failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father.
Chen Yu's stepmother Li Cui said coldly: "It's over 20 years old, and it's not a child. What can I pick up? I can't take the bus by myself."
Chen Yu didn't know what was better than his mother, this sarcastic Li Cui, but his father divorced and married her. He ignored Li Cui and said to his father: "Dad, I'm here to say goodbye to you. I found a job abroad and may have to go out for two years."
Chen Haitao was shocked and said, "Foreign? Which country? It's not a lie, right? There are many black intermediaries on TV..."
Li Cui glared at Chen Haitao and interrupted him, "Why are you doing so much? He is a college student. I don't know what I have. My son has never cared about you so much."
Chen Yu said: "Dad, it was introduced by my classmate. In Italy, I am not a black intermediary."
"You have to... be careful, you are not familiar with the place abroad." Chen Haitao wanted to speak, and wanted to give his son some money, but he knew that his wife didn't like this son, so he didn't say it and planned to take some time to secretly give his son some money.
Li Cui is very smart. When she sees her husband's expression, she knows what's going on. She sneered: "Don't think about giving money secretly. We still have to buy a house. Xiaohao will be in junior high school soon. Can you live in a house of seventy or eighty square meters?"
Chen Yu was very annoyed by his stepmother's repeated provocations, "Don't be afraid, I don't want your money, I can support myself."
"Can you support yourself? Humph, don't think I don't know he gave you money secretly. I pretended not to know because I felt sorry for you." Li Cui sneered.
Chen Yu sneered, "Do you have pity for me? No need, he is my father, it is natural for me to spend his money. Now that I graduate, I will not ask for a penny from now on."
"Okay, you have a genitals. If you have a genitals, don't come to ask us for a house when you get married and buy a house." Li Cui said.
"Don't worry, I will never ask you if I rent a house as a bachelor." Chen Yu looked at him in a tit-for-tat way and couldn't bear it at all.
"Okay, OK, stop arguing." Chen Haitao didn't go home for too long, but he just didn't want to see his wife and son quarrel. He put down his purchases and said to his parents in a hurry: "My mom and dad, we're back, take the time to see you again, Xiaohao, goodbye to grandparents."
Chen Haitao and his family left in a hurry. Chen Yu had a cold face and didn't even say goodbye to his father.
Chen Yu's grandfather sighed and said, "Child, your father has his own difficulties. Li Cui's father was your father's immediate boss back then."
Chen Yu gritted his teeth, preventing himself from crying, and said, "I know, grandpa, I don't hate my dad. I just found such a wife for him. It's not worth it."
Chen Yu's grandmother also sighed and said, "This is fate, people have to accept their fate. Xiaoyu, you haven't eaten yet, grandma will make you something delicious."
Grandpa said, "Don't be angry. I've been here for so many years. It's good to go abroad to work. It doesn't matter whether you make money or not. You can see the world. Come on, let's have a few cups with Grandpa today, and drink one cup less."
Chen Yu forced himself to be happy and said, "Grandpa is only 70 years old, and he can live for at least another thirty years."
Grandpa laughed and said, "If I can see you getting married and having a grandson, I can smile with my heart."
Grandma said: "Xiaoyu is going abroad, don't say anything discouraged. There are fried peanuts. You can drink some of them first. I'll kill that little rooster."
The spicy rooster smells very fragrant, and the loose wine in my hometown tastes very mellow. Chen Yu took the car all night that day and was in a bad mood. He got drunk before his grandfather got drunk, and he didn't even know how to go to bed.
Chen Yu stayed in his hometown for a day. During this period, his father Chen Haitao secretly looked for him and wanted to give him some money, but Chen Yu did not ask for it. He only took the 10,000 yuan raised by his grandfather and mother to leave the motherland and flew to Siena, Italy.
...
The memories were bitter, but when Chen Yu thought of seeing his grandparents who loved him soon, he became excited and no longer felt sleepy. He looked around and saw an elegant young woman with short hair and fashion magazines next to her seat. She looked a bit heroic. When Chen Yu saw him, she smiled at Chen Yu kindly, and Chen Yu smiled politely.
Suddenly the young woman said, "Are you a student? Are you traveling to Italy or studying abroad?"
"I've graduated a long time ago and I'm working."
Generally, people who take the initiative to chat on cars and trains are often either engaged in pyramid schemes or provide insurance, while women may be young ladies. Although this noble young woman seems to have no similarities with these three types of people, Chen Yu is still a little wary because he knows that he is not so handsome that such a beautiful woman takes the initiative to chat with him.
“In Italy?”
"Italy."
“Which school graduated?”
"Beijing Institute of Technology."
"Not bad." The young woman nodded: "What kind of work do?"
"Sister, are you going to introduce me to a partner?"
Chen Yu finally couldn't help it and politely refused to answer.
The young woman also felt that she had asked too much, and smiled and said, "Little brother, don't be nervous, I have no malice. I often interact with Beijing in Milan. If you have any difficulties abroad, you can come to me. Maybe I can help."
"Should you give me a contact information?"
"Uh, OK."
The young woman took out a very expensive pen from the latest LV bag, wrote a few numbers and handed it to Chen Yu a number. Chen Yu thought it was a mobile phone number, so she took it suspiciously. After looking at it, it turned out to be a QQ number and MSN number. Chen Yu smiled and folded it and put it in his pocket.
The young woman teased Chen Yu a little, nodded to Chen Yu with a smile, leaned back on the seat and closed her eyes to rest.
Seeing the young woman closing her eyes and resting and stopping, Chen Yu felt a little disappointed. He was a normal man, and naturally he also hoped to have a romantic encounter with a beautiful and noble woman. However, because of his suspicion, he actually gave up such an opportunity voluntarily. Chen Yu didn't know if he was smart but was mistaken for intelligence.
There was nothing to say along the way. After another five hours of flight in the clouds, the plane landed at Beijing International Airport. Seeing that the young woman was still closing her eyes to rest, Chen Yu patted her shoulder lightly, "The capital is here." Then he turned around and got off the plane with the abortion.
When Chen Yu returned home, it was already Christmas, but this kind of foreign festival was celebrated except for a few people who followed the trend in the county town, and it had no impact on the countryside. Everyone should do whatever they should do, and no one knew that it was a festival.
Seeing Chen Yu come back with a bunch of small bags, his grandparents were almost in tears. Chen Yu grew up with him until he went to school. His parents divorced when he was in junior high school. Chen Yu lived with them for seven years. Now Chen Yu has been abroad for more than two years before returning. His grandparents have been hit hard and have been sick. Fortunately, they were in a strong foundation when they were young, otherwise they might not have been able to afford the disease.
"Xiaoyu, you are losing weight. Are you not used to living abroad?" Grandma touched Chen Yu's face and said.
"Habit, the foreign meal tastes very good. This year I found a good job. When I save some money, I will take you and grandpa abroad to see the capitalist world of flowery." In fact, Chen Yu is not thin either. He is similar to when he went abroad, and he is stronger. However, in the past six months, he has become dark and looks thinner.
"I'm old and don't have the energy and energy to go abroad. You'd better save some money to buy a house and get married." Grandpa sighed and rubbed his legs. That was the injury he suffered when he was in the army.
Grandma asked, "Xiaoyu, you did a good job in the hotel, what job have you found? Is it reliable?"
Chen Yu said: "It's my old job, I play football and it's very reliable."
"It's good to be reliable. If you are not familiar with the place abroad, you must be careful not to be deceived. I have seen many people who are cheated of money from working abroad and don't pay their wages." Grandpa saw Chen Yu's spirit and brought back a large bag of things, he couldn't help but remind him.
"Grandpa, don't worry, this is a contract signed, there is no problem, abroad is not as chaotic as you think," Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Be careful, there is no big mistake. Foreign capitalists can make our China easily earn their money." Grandpa, who was brainwashed deeply, still couldn't believe it.
"No, grandpa, look, this is my salary, all of it is euros, which can be exchanged for more than 100,000 yuan. I will exchange this money for you. You knock down our old house and build a two-story building. Let them see, we are not worse than them." Chen Yu took out half of the 20,000 euros he earned in his endorsement and handed it to grandpa.
"EUR?"
"Hundred thousand! That's so much money."
Grandpa and grandma were trembling with excitement. They had never seen so much money in their lives.
"Well, now you believe it."
Chen Yu smiled.
Grandpa now believes that Chen Yu can make money. He took the money with emotion and observed it repeatedly to see what this euro looks like. "Xiao Yu has finally grown up and can make money. I will save this money for you, go to the city to buy a house and get a wife."
Chen Yu said: "No need to save it, just spend it, I will make more money in the future."
Grandma suddenly said, "Xiaoyu, the house cannot be built."
Chen Yu said in surprise, "Why can't you cover it?"
"Your father has promised to leave your house for you, and now he has changed his mind and wants to go back."
Grandpa said with emotion: "We are the urban-rural fringe. Now we are going to demolish and build an industrial park. The old house will probably be able to pay a lot of money."
"I am obsessed with money. When he comes, I will ask him. If you want a house, you will break off the father-son relationship with me." Chen Yu was very unhappy with his useless father. He held the star-speed system and became a professional player. After becoming a professional player, he did not care about the money for house demolition, but he cared about his father's feelings for him.
Grandpa sighed, "Your dad has no choice. He can't be his wife's home, but the property certificate is mine, and the name is mine. I won't agree to him. This house will always be yours."
