I am a Big Villain

296. The counterattack of the old people 8

"Brother Yan, you have experienced all kinds of hardships in your life."

In the courtyard of the Yan family, a group of villagers surrounded Yan Yuanjiang and Gu Aihong, with envy in their eyes and a hint of jealousy and resentment.

At this time, the Yan family's old house had long since changed its appearance. Most of the original bungalow had been demolished. A group of construction workers carried the scrap wood and stone bricks to the truck, and then transported an endless stream of building materials. Look at the appearance. I knew it was time to rebuild a big house.

The village still doesn’t know about the earning power of the Yan family couple? I'm afraid it's true as the old couple said, their son has made a lot of money.

Of course, the wealthy families in the village would not be jealous of the Yan family's current life, but those whose lives were similar to the Yan family, or better than the Yan family, looked at the families who were originally behind them catching up with rocket speed, This makes me feel better.

"No, our Ah Chu has always been successful. He has stayed at home these years, but it's not like you said he has done nothing. He is creating. You see those writers on TV who publish every year Of course, you need to study hard and then fly into the sky.”

Before Yan Yuanjiang could speak, a middle-aged woman next to him spoke up for him. This woman was Yan Yuanjiang's niece. When the original person was not born, Yan Yuanjiang and his wife had intended to adopt each other's brother. , but then the original person was born, so this matter naturally stopped.

Over the years, the relationship between the two families has not been good. Now that the other party can use such an affectionate tone to relieve the old couple, it is obvious that they have seen Yan Chu's potential and want to get a share of the pie.

Even with the development of the times, the clan consciousness in such small villages is still very strong. The self-employed business owners in the village are more willing to seek help from villagers who are related to them because they feel that blood ties are more reliable.

That's what the woman who spoke now was thinking. She saw that her uncle's family was spending money to build ancestral graves and renovate the house. Obviously, her cousin earned a lot of money, and even that money wasn't cheap. It was her fault, but the relationship was finally settled, and when it came time to spend money in the future, I had one more person to talk to.

Regarding the sudden closeness to their niece, Yan Yuanjiang and Gu Aihong had extremely complicated thoughts. However, it must be said that it was precisely because of the admiration of the people in the village these days that the old couple who already loved their son felt that their son could not be loved no matter how much they loved them. Not too much.

"I think the foundation is quite good. Brother Yan, how many floors do you plan to build?"

The homestead of the Yan family was left by the old man in front of him. Together with the homestead that originally belonged to Yan Yuanjiang and his wife, the combined area covers an area of ​​more than 400 square meters. This does not include the private land. The village is empty. Estimating with the naked eye, the foundation of this new house is not too small. After the construction is completed, the first floor will be at least two to three hundred square meters. It will be so grand. It will soon catch up with those children who have become big bosses. People are gone.

"To build a three-story building, my wife and I have discussed it with our son. We will build a living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom for our husband and wife on the first floor. Our A Chu will live on the second floor, and we will prepare a guest room and a child." If there is enough room, you can also get a study room. As for the third floor, fitness is not popular among young people nowadays, so you can get a place for exercise and an open-air balcony, which is exactly the same as a small villa in the city. "

Yan Yuanjiang is a good old man, but that doesn't mean he has no vanity.

The old man, who had been suppressed for many years, wanted to tell the world how capable his son was after his son became successful.

"That will cost a lot of money, right?"

The people in the village were shocked. Just building a second floor in such a large area, not to mention decoration, would probably cost 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. Building a third floor, and wanting better decoration, would cost 1.8 million yuan. I'm afraid I can't take it off.

"It's okay. Our Ah Chu is promising. The book he wrote has been spotted by a big director. Maybe one day you will see a TV series filmed by my son."

Yan Yuanjiang chuckled. Speaking of it, his life could be considered to have experienced great storms.

When he participated in the Vietnam War, he injured the sole of his foot and recovered from the injury. At that time, everyone admired military heroes. Even if he became disabled, no one looked down on him. This is because he was able to marry someone like Gu Aihong after he was disabled and retired from the army. This can be seen in a wife who is upright and from a good family background.

But soon, the spring breeze of reform and opening up spread to every inch of the land, and people's hearts began to fluctuate with money. Knowing that you are a veteran does not make people think highly of you. Most people can only see your disabled body. , and your empty wallet.

In the years before his son was born, Yan Yuanjiang not only endured more and more strange and disdainful looks, but also endured the humiliation of being laughed at and incompetent because he had no son.

It wasn't until the original person was born that he helped him wash away the grievances he had suffered later. After the original person showed his extraordinary talent for reading, Yan Yuanjiang gradually regained the envy and respect of others.

So he didn't love this child who brought him so much hope. To him, this son was almost everything to him.

Seeing the envious, jealous, or congratulatory looks of the villagers, Yan Yuanjiang suddenly felt a little calm.

However, he has not forgotten his most important purpose.

"Ah Chu and I are both old, how many more years can we enjoy his blessing? We don't ask for anything now. We just hope that he can find a wife as soon as possible. We don't ask for how beautiful or smart the girl is, as long as she is good. Knowing how cold it is and how hot it is, it would be great if we can support each other with our A Chu.”

The top priority of the Yan family now is to find a wife for his son. Yan Yuanjiang is not young, and he wants to have grandchildren as soon as possible in his lifetime.

"We can still work together. If my daughter-in-law wants to live in the country in the future, she will live in the big house we are building now. If her daughter-in-law wants to live in the city, it will be fine. Our Ah Chu still has some money and can buy something in the city. A down payment for a bigger house will be made, and when the time comes for the mortgage, the couple will pay it off slowly and put the name of the wife in it to give her peace of mind. "

Yan Chu gave Yan Yuanjiang 3.5 million yuan before. Yan Yuanjiang first spent 50,000 yuan to build his ancestral grave. This is the most important thing for the villagers. It is like building a house in his hometown. It is a way to prove his financial strength. Way. As for the decoration of the current small country villa, compared with the money spent by the previous villagers, Yan Yuanjiang increased the budget, which can probably be kept within one million. The remaining money is what the old couple has saved over the years. It is completely enough to buy a commercial house of more than 100 square meters in the urban area.

It's just that the older generation is very particular about keeping their wealth hidden. This time they spent a lot of money to repair their ancestral graves and rebuild their houses. Firstly, it was to make the family live more comfortably. Secondly, it was also to clean up the bad rumors about their son that had been spread in the village over the years. reputation, otherwise according to the wishes of the old couple, the money would still have to be saved in case of emergency needs.

So now they just tell everyone conservatively that the money they have is enough for the down payment of a house in the city, and they don't go into detail. However, even this kind of gesture is enough to attract many families with daughters.

Sure enough, when they heard Yan Yuanjiang say that they could raise the down payment for a house in the city after building the luxurious three-story villa in their hometown, they immediately regarded Yan Chu, whom they were least optimistic about, as the best son-in-law candidate.

First of all, he looks good.

Secondly, he is smart, otherwise he would not have been admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University with the second highest score in the city. With such a father, the child will never go anywhere.

Finally, he had money. Although he didn’t make any money in the first four years, once he made money, the gap in those four years was filled. More than one million, many people may not be able to earn that much in twenty or thirty years. As for money, he is still young, so there is no way he will never write another book in the future, right?

The more the villagers thought about it, the more they felt that this was the case. Soon, Gu Aihong was surrounded by a group of people, who implicitly asked her about the type of girl Yan Chu liked. If they were suitable, they might make a good couple.

In such a big drama, this is really the focus of Yan Yuanjiang and Gu Aihong. The old couple listened carefully and wanted to write down the names of all the girls who were suitable for their son. Maybe one of them would be their future in the future. Where is the daughter-in-law?

****

"Check? Why spend that money?"

Because the old house was demolished and rebuilt, the three members of the Yan family and Yan Aotian, the dog, are now temporarily renting in an unused building of the owner's house in the village. They will wait until their new house is built before moving.

As usual, Gu Aihong was eating, feeding and waiting for Yan Aotian, and she refused her son's proposal without even thinking about it.

Both she and the old man are in good health, nothing to check.

Today's hospitals cost a lot of money. One or two hundred dollars is enough to go in. If you want to check every part of your body, you have to spend thousands of dollars.

In Gu Aihong's view, with all this money, she might as well save money on buying milk powder for her future grandchildren.

Yan Yuanjiang thought the same way. He believed that his body was still very strong. If his son had not become successful now and refused to let him contract the land again, he could still work for another ten years.

"Dad, Mom, the physical examination doesn't cost much. Besides, the money I make is just for you." Yan Chu knew that the reaction of the old couple was the reaction of many ordinary old people. First of all, he really felt that the examination was expensive. , and secondly, I am worried that if something is really wrong, it will be a drag on my children.

In fact, if the problem can be detected and treated early, it will cost less and the chance of cure will be greater. Even if the problem is not detected, you can still spend money to buy peace of mind.

Especially in the original world, Yan's father died of lung cancer. Although it has been a long time since the original Yan's father was diagnosed with lung cancer, Yan Chu is not sure whether the other party has cancer now.

Therefore, this physical examination is imperative. Yan Chu has thought about it. From now on, he will have to take the old couple to have a physical examination every six months, and his father will also have to help him quit smoking.

The Yan family had no money before. In order to save money, Yan Yuanjiang smoked home-made cigarettes, which were spicy, choking, and very harmful to the lungs. It was difficult for an old man who had smoked dry cigarettes all his life to quit smoking. A difficult thing, but no matter how difficult it is, Yan Chu has to find a way to make the other party gradually change his bad living habits.

"Besides, I'm not young anymore. I may have to marry a wife in a few years. If I give birth to a child by then, if you have any problems, we two eldest children who have no experience in raising children can take care of them. Come over?"

Grandchildren are the trump card of the two old men. They say they are close to each other in the same generation. They can be so doting and pampering towards their original son, not to mention the grandson who, although he has not yet been born, has already appeared in the dreams of the two old men countless times. Where is my son?

After working hard for most of my life, saying that I don’t have any illnesses is just to fool people. Not to mention the injuries I have contracted due to overwork over the years, as well as the various problems that will appear when people reach a certain age, Yan Yuanjiang The leg that was injured and disabled in his early years was a big problem, making it difficult for him to move. In his later years, because most of the sole of his left foot was missing, he walked tilted for a long time, causing pain in the pelvic and lumbar spine. This pain was almost It had tortured him for more than ten years, and as he got older, the pain became more severe.

It’s just that the situation at home has been there in these years. No matter how much pain the two old people have, they endure it separately. Neither husband nor wife complains, for fear that the other will worry. Sometimes they really can’t stand it, so they go to a small rural hospital to get some cheap medicine. After fooling around, I couldn't bear the money it would cost to go to a big hospital.

When their son said this, the couple hesitated.

Money is important, but so is seeing the grandchildren.

The level of medical care is so advanced now. In the past, a person could live to be sixty or seventy, which meant he lived a long life. Nowadays, there are many people who live to be ten years old. Yan Yuanjiang and Gu Aihong also have an ambition, which is to see their grandchildren born. Then protect them and grow up.

According to the age at which they gave birth to a son, they would have to wait until ordinary people could become Grandpa Zeng, and then Grandma Zeng could have that possibility.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you."

While feeling distressed about the money that would be spent, the old couple gritted their teeth and agreed.

It’s all worth it for the grandchildren.

Although even their daughter-in-law is missing, the old couple has already made plans to protect their health for the sake of their grandchildren.

*****

"Nothing particularly serious."

After a full physical examination, fortunately, Yan’s father has not yet been infected with lung cancer. It is still too late to prevent it from now on.

The doctor talked about a bunch of common diseases among the elderly for the two elderly people to pay attention to, and gave some precautions to Yan Chu who was standing aside.

Yan Chu listened carefully from beginning to end. The doctor seemed to have seen too many scenes of people coming alone or with old couples for examination, and he highly praised Yan Chu's behavior.

"You grandson is really filial."

"Doctor, this is not our grandson, this is our son, who was born in his forties. At first, we both thought we would never have children in this life. Who knew that God was blessing us with this filial piety in the end? The good and sensible boy gave us two sons.”

Yan Yuanjiang smiled. At this time, he had long forgotten his son's decadence in the previous four years, and had also forgotten that he had been worried day and night during those four years, just worrying about his son's future.

The doctor was also well-informed. He looked at Yan Chu with slight surprise, smiled and said nothing more.

There are many couples in the world who have difficulty in giving birth. The old couple in front of them were able to have an old son in their forties and a filial child. This was also a blessing they had saved in their previous life.

*****

"Ah Chu, do you still remember Landuo, who played with you when you were a child? She was the little girl who lived across the street from our house. Didn't she follow her parents to the city to study? I heard that she came back from college the year before last. Now I am working as a teacher in an urban primary school.”

In the eyes of the older generation, civil servants, teachers, doctors and nurses who have knitting jobs are considered serious professions. If a girl has a career plan, she will definitely be a hot commodity in the dating market.

In the same way, having a house and a car for a man is also a bonus in a blind date. Although Yan Chu now has a house but no car, everyone knows that the money in the Yan family's hands is definitely more than enough to buy a car.

Because of this, ever since the Shan family started to build this house in the countryside, he has become a high-quality son-in-law in the eyes of the villagers. There is a steady stream of matchmakers helping Yan Chu and other young girls to set up connections. If they can make a couple, The matchmaker’s red envelope is absolutely indispensable.

These days, Gu Aihong has collected a lot of information about unmarried girls who are the right age for her son. One of them, Lin Landuo, is her favorite.

"That was so long ago, how do I still have any impression?"

Yan Chu gently kicked the stupid dog lying next to the table, waiting for his grandma to feed him, and let him eat by himself. Otherwise, after eating, he would take it for a "walk" on the country road to have a good experience. Take a look at the natural scenery in the countryside.

Yan Aotian received his father's threatening look, sobbed a few times in aggrieved manner, and then ate by himself.

It would be great if it could also make money. Then it would hire a nanny to feed itself, a nanny to smooth its hair, a nanny to scratch it, and a nanny to help it with its daily walks.

Such a dog student is really desirable.

Yan Aotian's eyes were confused, thinking about the kind of life where he would be so happy that he could ascend to heaven. He couldn't help but be overjoyed for a moment and rolled on the ground. Then he accidentally knocked over the dog rice and mixed it. The meat sauce from the rice was spread all over the floor.

"Ouch——"

Yan Aotian cautiously tucked his tail between his legs and immediately hid behind his grandparents.

With this cross in her mind, Gu Aihong was busy cleaning up the mess, forgetting the topic she had just talked about half-way through.

"By the way, parents, I have to attend a class reunion in a few days."

Yan Chu knew that in this world he still had to find a partner to have children and stay with him for life, but he was not ready for intensive blind dates yet.

"Class reunion? That's an important thing."

Yan Yuanjiang nodded repeatedly. Qiu Huo, who came to the house before, was a very nice young man. If his son could have more friends like this and go out more often, he would be able to feel more at ease when the two of them are no longer around.

At the son's age, most are only children, and their family's situation is special. Anyone of the same generation as the son can be his father based on his age. In addition to the previous events, the Yan family does not have much contact with those relatives. Now, because of money, those relatives have begun to come to visit relatives one after another. Yan Yuanjiang is really worried that his son will associate with such relatives for the rest of his life.

He would rather his son make a few more trustworthy friends. If he really wanted to get along well, they would be real relatives.

"If you have enough money on hand, you can't dress casually when you go to the class reunion. Your mother and I don't have good taste, and we don't know what kind of clothes are popular among you young people. When the time comes, I will give you the money, and you can do it yourself. Go buy it.”

Now that he has money, Yan Yuanjiang's life has begun to become richer. He can watch TV when he has nothing to do, or go out and play mahjong or chess with his peers to kill time, and he has gained new knowledge that he had no time to understand before.

He also learned a few buzzwords, such as generation gap, which is said to be once every three years. He and his son are separated by nine twists and turns. In the past, he always thought about arranging everything for his son with his wife, but now it seems that his son He has grown up and has his own ideas, so he should let him do some things by himself.

"That's right, don't go to the street stores in our town to buy clothes, just go to the city. There are many and fashionable clothes in big shopping malls."

Gu Aihong took a big broom tied with thin dead branches and swept up the dog rice scattered on the ground. Then she mixed a new meal for the dog grandson, and put the previous one in an old basin, ready to feed it when the time came. Chicken to eat.

At this time, Gu Aihong and her husband had the same idea. In the past, the two old people were just making money, and they really didn't think much about it. Now that they are free, they have more contact with the people in the village. They look at the children in the village who are about the same age as their son. Young people have boxes of clothes, and the dressing may not be the type that they can appreciate, but among their peers, it is fashionable.

In this way, Gu Aihong felt that she had treated her son badly by choosing clothes according to her own vision over the years.

"By the way, do you still remember Xiang Ling, who went to a primary school in the town with you when you were a child? The girl was two years younger than you. When you were in the third grade, she was in the first grade. She is now in the city. As a small leader in a shopping mall here, she can earn more than 8,000 yuan a month at such a young age. The most important thing is that this girl is filial to her parents. As long as she is a filial child, she will not be a bad child. "

Gu Aihong clapped her hands in praise, then looked at her son expectantly: "Aren't you going to buy clothes? Why don't you take the opportunity to meet this little girl? You are about the same age, and maybe they can give you some advice on buying clothes. "

Yan Chu:......

Mom, do you still remember the little girl Landuo who you just talked to about my childhood sweetheart?

She really used every opportunity to introduce him to someone, and Yan Chu was a little doubtful. If he said he wanted to buy a car now, would his mother conjure up someone who worked in a 4S store for him, who would be particularly suitable for him and look like him when he was a child? For a girl with some "connections", even those connections are long gone.
