Chapter 715 New Year’s greetings
coin!
Chen Mo thought about the first dumpling he ate last year, and he directly ate a coin, and then the settlement for this year was not fully converted.
Ok,
You must not eat the coin this time.
More than 10 minutes passed.
The parents came out of the kitchen, each carrying two plates of dumplings.
"The dumplings are cooked, it's time to eat them."
The mother shouted.
Chen Mo stood up and walked to the dining table.
"Xiao Mo, this plate is for you. See if you can eat the coins this year."
Mother pushed a plate of dumplings in front of Chen Mo.
Chen Mo looked at the dumplings in front of him, thought for a moment, then raised his hand and exchanged for a plate of dumplings.
Last year, it was his mother who pushed the dumplings to him.
Seeing that his parents had already started eating, Chen Mo silently picked up the chopsticks, picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth.
Ah!
Based on last year's experience, he knew that
I ate the coin again.
After a while,
A coin was spat out onto the table.
The parents looked happy.
Chen Mo felt bitter in his heart.
"It seems that Xiao Mo's luck is very good this year. He got a coin in the first dumpling he ate."
The mother smiled.
Chen Mo looked at the coins on the table with mixed feelings. He also looked at the dumplings on the plate and lost his appetite.
I simply ate a few dumplings and put down my bowl and chopsticks.
"Don't you want to eat a few more?"
The mother asked.
"Well, I ate a little too much at noon."
Chen Mo nodded, but did not go back to the bedroom directly. Instead, he leaned back on the sofa and continued watching TV in the living room.
Although the parties nowadays are boring, today is New Year's Eve, and it is better for the family to sit together and chat.
Looking at the relatively small living room, he asked casually.
"Mom, we've lived in this house for many years, it would be nice to get a new one."
"What's there to change? We've lived in this house for many years and we're used to it."
The mother spoke.
Chen Mo sighed when he heard this. After he returned home, he talked to his parents about changing houses twice.
But his parents always gave the same answer, and it was difficult for him to convince them.
But we have lived in this house for a long time, and the environment is not very good. It has not been approved yet. When my parents get old, it will be very difficult for them to go up and down the stairs.
So he wants to change the house now.
But the ideas of his parents, the older generation, really gave him a headache.
What should I do?
Chen Mo fell into deep thought, and after a while, he suddenly thought of a solution.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Mom, you two must be used to living in this house. What if I get married and have children and go home in the future?"
"There are only two rooms left, and we can't even accommodate them. So we won't come back."
"That won't work. If you don't come back, how can we take care of our grandchildren?"
The mother immediately quit.
My father also put down his bowl and chopsticks. Although he didn't say anything, it was obvious that he was unwilling.
"Look, there are only two rooms. Are you asking our family to squeeze into one room? We have nothing to do with each other. But your grandchildren are used to living in a big house and don't want to come back. It's not my problem."
"Also, you keep asking me to find a girlfriend. If I really find one and bring her home, it won't be a good idea to have such a small room."
Chen Mo looked at his parents seriously.
After hearing this, the parents stopped talking and fell silent.
After a while,
The mother just spoke slowly.
"What you said makes sense, but you have to meet one of the girls in my notebook after the New Year. Otherwise, you won't even have a girlfriend, and you're the only one telling me this."
"Forehead!"
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect his mother to use this trick on him.
Do you still want to go on a blind date?
Chen Mo was a little hesitant, but looking at the crowded living room in front of him, he finally nodded.
"Then I'll go after I buy the house."
"Okay! Don't regret it then."
"No regrets."
.............
Soon it was past 12 o'clock and the new year began.
It’s New Year’s Eve.
Chen Mo yawned and went into the bedroom to rest.
In the other bedroom, the light was still on.
Two figures were sitting on the bed with an iron box placed in the middle, discussing in a low voice.
"Old Chen, my son is right. If he really wants to marry a daughter-in-law, it won't make sense to have such a shabby house."
"Well, when we get married and have children, our grandchildren will have nowhere to live when they come back."
"Then let's buy a house. There are three savings books here. This one has 3, this one has 15, and this one has 8. The total is 11."
Yang Xiulian took out three passbooks from the iron box and counted the money.
"If we want to buy a better house here, in the newly built residential areas, it seems to cost more than 4000 per square meter. And you have to buy at least a three-bedroom house, which is about 100 square meters, and it will cost more than 40 yuan. We need a loan."
Chen Jingrui started to analyze it.
"Then take 20 yuan. I'll keep 14 yuan for my son's wedding."
"Well, that's settled then."
"Then wait until the bank opens and we go to the bank to withdraw the money."
"........."
..................
early morning,
Chen Mo got up early and dressed neatly.
Had a simple breakfast.
"Mom, I'm going out first."
"Be careful when you go out."
Mother's voice came from inside the room.
"understood."
Chen Mo replied, then opened the door and walked out.
Today is New Year's Day,
He is going to visit some relatives to celebrate the New Year.
Go downstairs,
When I turned a corner, I saw a very ugly snowman piled up downstairs.
The technique of making this snowman is too poor.
After complaining for a while, we arrived at the parking lot.
boarding,
I drove to the grain and oil market, bought some rice, flour, grain and oil, and put them in the trunk of the car.
First, he went to his uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings and left a bag of rice, flour, grain and oil.
Just left directly.
Then he went straight to his second aunt's house.
"Xiao Mo is here, come upstairs and sit down."
Second Aunt Yang Xiuhe said enthusiastically.
"I won't go upstairs. I have some things to do at home."
Chen Mo simply shook his head. Going upstairs was nothing more than enduring all kinds of questions about family matters.
"The meal is ready. Just eat a bite before leaving. It won't take long."
Second Aunt continued to persuade.
"I still have some things to do at home. I'll come over when I have time."
Chen Mo said something polite, then got into the car, started the car and left.
Go back downstairs.
When I turned the corner, I saw the ugly snowman from the morning. I don’t know who kicked it, but it had turned into two piles of snow.
Go upstairs and return home.
"Xiao Mo, you're back, come and sit down."
As soon as he entered the house, he found his mother sitting in the living room, waving at him.
"Mom, what's the matter?"
Chen Mo walked over puzzled.
"Didn't we agree last night that we would buy a house and you would go on a blind date for me?"
