Chapter 14: Thinking of the Chinese Years with One String and One Pillar
After everyone packed up, they headed out. This time, Chen Yang drove the car, with the two children sitting in the back.
Bai Xiaotong chatted with them and had a lively discussion about what to eat this time.
In the final show of hands, Jiale gave up the fight under the pressure of her sister, and finally won 2-1 and chose to eat the chicken.
Yes, he is the famous fast food boss in his previous life.
Except for the slightly different names, everything else is almost the same.
"Dad, can I invite my good friend to eat with me?"
Chen Jiayi suddenly thought of something and quickly asked his father.
"Huh? Are you dating someone at such a young age?"
Chen Yang's first reaction was to be surprised, but looking at his daughter's innocent look, he probably thought too much.
"of course"
"Yeah! Long live dad"
The daughter suddenly showed a happy expression.
"Sister, I also want to call my classmates."
"Go away, you are all milk-drinking brats, what are you doing here?"
Chen Jiayi once again quelled the family rebellion.
Under the direction of their daughter, everyone drove to an alley.
The surrounding area is full of bungalows, and it can be seen that the conditions of the people living here are not very good.
Chen Jiayi led everyone forward with ease, and finally arrived at the gate of a large courtyard.
"Yixian, come out quickly, I'm here to play with you."
"Come on, come on"
After a while, a little girl ran out of the courtyard. She was about the same height as Chen Jiayi. Her clothes were very simple but very clean.
It can be seen that although the conditions at home are not very good, they still pay special attention to their children.
"Yiyi, why are you here?"
The little girl was particularly happy to see Chen Jiayi, but when she saw other people, she became obviously cautious.
"My dad is going to treat you to some chicken Kentucky. I won't call you now. Let's go."
When she heard that she wanted to eat fried chicken, the little girl almost drooled, but she still shook her head.
"No, I won't go"
"Oh, let's go quickly. Call Yizhu and let's go together."
The daughter dragged the little girl and wanted to leave directly.
"Okay, I have to ask grandma first."
The little girl was obviously moved, but she still wanted to make the last struggle.
"Go ahead, grandma agrees"
An old woman in her 80s walked out of the room. She had white silk hair and a dignified temperament. She looked like a lady when she was young.
There was also a little boy with a tiger-like head and brain beside him.
Chen Yang stepped forward quickly.
"Grandma, your children are good friends with my girl, so I thought of inviting them to have a meal together.",
Grandma smiled kindly and nodded.
"Go ahead, I'll trouble you then"
Chen Yang quickly signaled that it was no trouble.
With the addition of the two new members, the original car was obviously no longer large enough.
Chen Yang decided to let Xiaotong drive Jiale first, while he took a taxi to take the rest of the little ones.
A few guys kept fighting in the car, and Chen Yang also learned about it.
They are also siblings, but they are twins. The elder sister was born a few minutes earlier.
After getting acquainted with her, I discovered that my sister has a pretty good personality, but my brother, on the other hand, has been silent and rarely spoke along the way.
Everyone came to a nearby Kendi Chicken restaurant, where Xiaotong had already ordered a large table of fast food.
Several children immediately cheered, and even the younger brother, who didn't speak much, had longing eyes.
Alas, another child that makes people feel distressed.
"Go ahead"
Chen Yang touched the little guy's head.
"Come quickly, it's delicious."
As soon as Chen Jia called out to her friends, she also picked up a big chicken drumstick, took a big bite, and looked satisfied.
The little guy couldn't hold it back and joined in the food fight.
Siblings Jiayi and Jiale are in a hurry, with hamburgers in their left hand and fried chicken in their right hand, their mouths full of oil.
On the other hand, the other siblings, although they kept talking, were still cautious in their movements.
Bai Xiaotong was busy beside him, wiping one person's mouth and getting a tissue for another.
"What do you think the names of your two friends are?"
Chen Yang moved closer to his daughter and seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Well, my name is Liu Yixian, um, my brother's name is Liu Yizhu."
My daughter had a big mouthful of hamburger in her mouth and was talking vaguely.
"But their names are not very nice, they are often laughed at in school, and they don't have many friends."
Liu Yixian nodded repeatedly, she was feeling better, her brother's name was a lot of nicknames.
Chen Yang sighed.
"Is your mother's name Nianhua?"
"Huh? Uncle knows my mother?"
Liu Yixian looked surprised, but when he thought that he had never seen his mother before, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
"Although I have never met your mother, I know that your father must love your mother very much."
"How did uncle know?"
The two children stopped eating and looked at it curiously.
Although the two of them are still young, they occasionally see their father coming home from get off work and sitting quietly in the small courtyard.
She knew that her father must be missing her mother.
But everyone in the family said that my mother went to a place far away to work, and they didn’t know how long it would take before she could come back.
Bai Xiaotong also stopped and turned around to look. She was also very curious.
"Actually, your name is not bad at all. On the contrary, it sounds very nice."
Chen Yang looked at the two children with a serious expression.
"There are fifty strings of brocade strings for no reason, each string and one column reminds me of my good years."
"There is such a good poem, and it is used as your name. Now, do you still feel that it doesn't sound good?"
Seeing Chen Yang's smile, the two children were stunned.
They are still young and don't quite understand the meaning of the poem, but they can also hear that it contains deep longing.
"What a beautiful poem"
Bai Xiaotong was also touched by the emotions in the poems.
Girls, especially those like her who don't have to worry about life, are extremely sentimental towards love.
Liu Yixian nodded vigorously, his little face full of happiness.
His younger brother Liu Yizhu was no longer silent, his eyes were shining when he looked at Chen Yang.
"You are all good children. Please spend more time with your father in the future. Your father is the most amazing person."
"Uh-huh"
The two little heads nodded at the same time.
In the evening, Chen Yang drove the two children back to the courtyard first.
When I entered the door, I saw a weak and sweaty man standing in the courtyard.
There was also a large express box beside him. It looked like he had just returned from get off work.
"dad"
When the two children saw the man, they rushed over to him in joy and hugged him tightly.
The man was stunned, probably because he didn't expect the child to suddenly become so enthusiastic.
However, after he reacted, a touch of tenderness appeared on his face, and he knelt down and hugged the child with his backhand.
"Hello, I heard from my mother today that the children are troublesome. How much is the meal? I will give it to you."
The man noticed Chen Yang at the door, stood up quickly, and took money out of his pocket as he spoke.
Chen Yang shook his head and reached out to stop the other party.
"No need, it doesn't cost much, as long as the child is happy"
Seeing this, the man no longer persisted, with a grateful smile on his face.
