Chapter 68 Shangmenlan's Family Receives Cold Reception

Chinese New Year is approaching, and Chen Qi has prepared the most ingredients for his family since the Chen family "established a family". All kinds of meat, sugar, fruits, and pastries are all available. They are all the things that the four siblings wanted when they were in Xiaze Village. I didn't even dare to think about it.

Seeing that the family has settled down, Chen Qi always thinks about Lan Lijuan's current situation at home.

He is aware of the economic conditions of Lan Lijuan's family. There is only one labor force in the family. It is conceivable that Lan's family will definitely not have anything delicious to eat during the New Year.

After all, she is her future daughter-in-law, so Chen Qi decided to take a day to give something away.

Just do what you say, in the morning Chen Qi finished his breakfast and went out of the house while the family was still sleeping.

It took an hour to get there from Yuezhong City to Qianqing Town. After inquiring about it with the station staff, I quietly released my bicycle in the corner and rushed to Dongqiao Commune.

When Chen Qi came to Lianzhong Village, it was only before 10 am.

This is the first time the son-in-law came to the door (shameless), Chen Qi was dressed quite formally, a brand new dark blue padded jacket, and the back of the bicycle was full of two snakeskin bags of food.

"My fellow, I want to ask, how can I get to Lan Lijuan's house in your village?"

There are no liars these days, and with Chen Qi being a good-looking person, the villagers were only surprised, not vigilant, and they were very happy to point the way.

"Go up this road, turn right by the stream, and then ask other people."

"Okay, thanks."

"Young people are really sensible, thank you, who are you, Lan Lijuan?"

Who said fellow villagers don't gossip? The villagers are all inquisitive.

"Hey, I'm the monitor of Lan Lijuan School. I'm here to visit the students on behalf of the teacher. Don't think too much, folks."

"Hehehe, okay, don't think too much, don't think too much, the young man is a good match for Lijuan."

Yes, Bai explained.

The houses in the mountain village were not built regularly, and the road was small and broken. Chen Qi asked countless people on the road, and finally found Lan Lijuan's house.

Of course, did Mr. Chen deliberately ask people around the village to ask people to misunderstand that there is a young man looking for Lan Lijuan during the Chinese New Year, so as to create an established fact in advance and give people the impression that Lan Lijuan has a partner, so don't give her any more The sinister intentions of matchmaking.

Do you have? Only Chen himself knows this.

The broken door of Lan's house was open, Chen Qi stopped his bicycle and shouted: "Is Lijuan at home?"

The loud voice attracted all the neighbors out, and everyone hid aside to watch the fun, gossip blazing.

Lan Lijuan is cleaning up at home, no matter how poor and broken the family is, a self-disciplined girl always hopes to be clean.

Suddenly heard a familiar voice of inquiry from downstairs, she wondered if there was something wrong with her ears? Is it really lovesick? Do you dream at night and think about it every day?

Until she heard her younger brother Lan Guoping question: "Why are you looking for my sister?"

"I'm your sister's classmate, is your sister at home?"

Lan Lijuan was so shocked that the rags fell on the floor, her face was overjoyed, she was about to run downstairs but she stopped, she changed into an old padded jacket that she only wore in school, then she combed her hair before going downstairs .

When she walked out of the house, she saw Squad Leader Chen standing in the sun with a smile on his face, and her heartbeat accelerated a lot.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be nonchalant: "Ah, why did Squad Leader Chen come to the humble house?"

Chen Qi was also embarrassed to say that I came here specifically to find you, so he just smiled and said:

"I'm here to visit relatives in Qianqing. I know you're not far away, so I stopped by to see your old classmate, haha."

Shen TM is on the way, Qianqing Town is still more than 20 kilometers away from Dongqiao Commune, and most of them are mountain roads, which are not on the way at all.

Boys and girls have their own feelings, but neither of them said anything. Lan Lijuan is not a mother-in-law herself, so she made a gesture of invitation:

"Squad leader Chen is here, sit at home for a while, flat, hurry up and make tea!"

Lan Guoping looked surprised: "Sister, I don't have any tea at home, how can I make it?"

Lan Lijuan was a little embarrassed: "No tea, make a cup of sugar water."

"There is no sugar at home!"

Chen Qi hurriedly waved his hands and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. I'm not thirsty, so I'll just sit for a while."

Lan Lijuan was a little sad in her heart, but on the surface she still laughed at herself: "I'm sorry for the monitor, come and sit inside for a while."

Chen Qi carried two snakeskin bags, followed by entering the house, and the neighbors of the Lan family outside the house were buzzing with each other.

As soon as he entered the house, Chen Qi understood in his heart that this Lan family was much more difficult than the original Chen family, and this dilapidated house might look like it could be blown down by a gust of wind.

The floor of the house is still mud, not even a slab of stone, but the whole house is clean and everything is neatly organized.

But it's because it's too clean, so it doesn't look like Chinese New Year. Whose house should not have a lot of food in the closet on the stove for Chinese New Year?

Hearing that there were guests at home, Shi Atiao also hurried back. When she got home, she saw that the guests had distributed a lot of candy to her children, and everyone was talking and laughing.

The young guest who looked at him was wearing a new padded jacket with a pen in his coat pocket, and he was riding a bicycle. He looked like a city person.

Shi Atiao smiled on his face: "Lijuan, this is it."

Looking at this posture, Chen Qi knew that the hostess had returned, so he stood up quickly, with as warm a smile as he wanted.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm Lan Lijuan's class monitor, Chen Qi. I'm passing by this time, so I came to see my old classmate."

"Oh, it's Lijuan's classmate, oh, sit down, hehe, okay, classmates should help each other."

Shi Atiao greeted him with enthusiasm visible to the naked eye, which made Chen Qi feel relieved. He has been a human being in two lifetimes, and it is the first time he meets his parents. It would be a lie to say that he is not nervous.

Lan Lijuan also breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, she was her classmate for four years, and her old mother gave her face.

Rural people, especially parents, face their children's possible "partners" and will try them in three sessions, knowingly or unconsciously inquiring about the situation in the other party's family.

"Squad Leader Chen, where is your family? Are your parents okay? How many people are there?"

"Oh, my family belongs to Xingtang Commune. My parents are long gone. I also have an older sister and a pair of twin brothers and sisters."

When Shi Atiao heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

She knew about the Xingtang Commune. It was also a commune in the mountainous area. It was extremely poor, and there were no parents to support the family, and there were younger brothers and sisters to support. Shi Atiao instantly sank to the bottom of his heart.

The Chen family is poor, the financial conditions are very bad, and there are brothers and sisters who are dragged down, maybe the new clothes and the bicycle are borrowed for appearance.

Otherwise, how can mountain people afford bicycles?

Shi Atiao's enthusiasm faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the enthusiasm just now turned into a faint politeness.

Now it was Chen Qi's turn to feel his heart skip a beat, and he immediately figured out the reason for the change in Lan Mu's attitude.

In the previous life, I saw this kind of thing too much. Don't you just think that the man is poor and has no house or car?

But how can Chen Qi explain it? Say you can speculate and make a lot of money? The family already bought a house in the city?

Who would believe this word from a technical secondary school student?
