Chapter 47: Two Things to Do in One Meal
"Xiaobao, I'll give you another candy as reward for your hard work. Can you share it?"

Chen Hui took out all the candies in his pocket and handed them to Chen Wanhe, who was still clinging to Chen Xiaoqiao's arms.

"Okay! I'll divide it! Xiaobao is the best at dividing candy!"

A few candies filled Chen Wanhe's two little hands.

He twisted his hips, motioning Chen Xiaoqiao to put him down.

He ran to the side grabbing the candy, and several children turned around and swarmed over to get the one that was supposed to be theirs.

Chen Wanhe stamped her feet anxiously, saying over and over again: "There is one for me! There is one for me!"

Chen Wanbai went over to help control the situation and also got a piece of candy.

Without looking at Chen Hui, he silently put the candy in his mouth and went into the house.

"This child has no manners at all, so he shouldn't be given to him." Chen Xiaoqiao noticed this and shook his head.

"Hey, you're an uncle, why are you arguing with a kid who's less than ten years old?"

Chen Hui, who has been eating for free for many years, has a thick skin, so he doesn't take such words seriously at all.

I was surprised that my image was so popular.

No wonder the villagers didn’t seem very enthusiastic when I went back to the village to renovate the old house in my previous life.

After eating the candy, the children started playing wildly again.

Chen Kaiming brought down the tea leaves and called Chen Hui in to have some tea.

By the way, we talked about his marriage.

"On the sixth day of the New Year, will uncle and aunt be free?"

"I would like to ask my aunt to do me a favor and be a matchmaker for me." Chen Hui said with a smile.

Nowadays, more and more people are getting married through free love or by two families seeing each other.

The custom is still that marriage is decided by parents and matchmaker.

Even if the couple did not meet through a blind date, they still had to ask a respected woman to act as a matchmaker on the wedding day.

"Invite me? That's great! I'm free that day." Yuan Chuanfang said with a smile.

Whenever villagers need this kind of matchmaker, they will come to Yuan Chuanfang.

She is familiar with the process and has watched these children grow up since they were young, so she is friendly and happy to see everyone.

"That's great for you. You can earn a red envelope from the matchmaker again."

Chen Kaiming joked with a smile.

Yuan Chuanfang patted him and said to Chen Hui with a smile: "Don't listen to your cousin's nonsense. Just give 50 cents in the red envelope. I don't want more."

"No! You have to give me at least 60 cents, for luck."

Chen Hui knew that Yuan Chuanfang was joking, so he followed her words and made a joke, which made everyone around laugh.

Chen Kaiming was making tea and suddenly he sighed heavily.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Wang Shuhui washed the fruit and put it on the table for making tea.

Chen Kaiming smiled, and waited until Wang Shuhui turned and went into the kitchen before looking at Chen Xiaoqiao and saying:
"Seeing Chen Hui like this, I'm reminded of when you first got married!"

"Look at how sensible Chen Hui is now. Look at you again. From now on, you will be the only lazy guy in the entire Chenjia Village."

After hearing this, Yuan Chuanfang quickly patted Chen Kaiming.

He whispered, "Stop talking about this, my uncle and aunt are still here."

"Oh, Dad, I'm doing fine now. I'm healthy, I can eat and sleep well, and I don't do anything sneaky." Chen Xiaoqiao spread his hands.

Be bad, but be calm.

"You only have this much left. If you dare to steal or do anything else, I will break your legs."

"You have so many friends in town and county, but you don't know how to find a husband for your sister." Chen Kaiming said, and picked up the filial son's hand next to him and hit Chen Xiaoqiao in the air.

"Everyone I know is of the same character as me."

"There is really no other person like Chen Hui who suddenly betrayed. Besides, Chen Hui might only be active for a few months."

"Let big brother find her a young talent in the factory. That's a stable job." Chen Xiaoqiao quickly declined. "Uncle Xiaoqiao, you should find one for Qiaomei."

"I remember you have a friend named Jun. I think his age is quite suitable for Qiao Mei." Chen Hui said.

In a few years, the factory where Chen Daqiao worked would no longer be able to survive.

Because he was not tactful enough and was not liked by others, he became one of the first laid-off workers in the factory. Later, he simply returned to the village to farm and fish in the sea, and spent his whole life like this.

He has a similar personality to Chen Daqiao and they even work in the same factory.

No matter how Chen Hui thought about it, he felt that things would not be much better than his in the future.

However, Chen Xiaoqiao's friend later engaged in aquaculture in the town, and his business was very prosperous. He also brought Chen Xiaoqiao into fortune together with him.

"Wang Hongjun? He? He can't do it, right?" Chen Xiaoqiao was a little hesitant.

"What friends? What's wrong? Tell me about it." Yuan Chuanfang asked curiously.

"I have a friend who is fine in every other respect, except that he is too handsome."

"Mom, please don't hit me when I tell you the truth. I'm not worthy of Qiao Mei because of her looks."

Chen Xiaoqiao lowered his voice and tried to be as tactful as possible in his words.

But he still succeeded in arousing Yuan Chuanfang's dissatisfaction, and he picked up Xiaozi's hand and chased him to beat him.

A group of children, not knowing what was going on, saw that there was some fun going on in the house and happily chased after Yuan Chuanfang, shouting "Come on!"

The youngest, Chen Wanhe, couldn't run faster than his older brothers and sisters. He tripped and was stepped on by Chen Wanqing, and burst into tears at the top of his lungs.

Yuan Chuanfang was busy coaxing his precious grandson, and only then did he reluctantly let Chen Xiaoqiao go.

"It's all your fault, Tiantian. Why are you acting so nice? You don't want to play with us anymore, right?"

Chen Xiaoqiao sat down panting, and seeing Chen Hui enjoying the fun, he couldn't help but complain.

"Take my words to heart. Army Manager Wang Hong is really a good man. Who knows about fate?" Chen Hui reminded again.

"Got it. Let them meet when we have time."

Chen Xiaoqiao waved his hand and took a piece of fruit and ate it.

An Wenjing cooked the meal for her family and arrived before the meal started.

When he heard that Chen Hui asked Yuan Chuanfang to be a matchmaker, he nodded repeatedly to indicate that he thought so too.

After dinner, Chen Daqiao took his wife, children and his brother-in-law's family back to town.

Chen Kaiming invited Chen Hui to have tea.

Chen Hui touched his belly.

very full!

But the atmosphere today is very good, and now that all the random people have left, it is especially suitable for discussing serious matters.

Chen Hui sat down at the tea table, made tea and chatted with Chen Kaiming, and led the topic to talk about the wasteland by the sea that he wanted to buy.

Chen Kaiming didn't quite understand.

Nothing can be grown there, and the production team doesn't even use the land allocated to them.

What did Chen Hui buy it for?
However, he could earn some extra money for year-end benefits, and after explaining the pros and cons to Chen Hui, he decided to buy it.

Chen Kaiming stopped persuading him and told Chen Hui to come to him in advance if he wanted to buy it, and he would take the lead in buying it from the production team.

"One more thing. I want to run an electric line from the village to my home."

After finishing the land purchase, Chen Hui immediately arranged the second thing.

The village was not fully electrified until the end of 87, so it would take more than two years.

I've been back for so long, I can still overcome everything else.

Chen Hui is really not used to the lack of electricity.

"Pulling wires? That won't work!"
