Chapter 15 I'm still young~no rush!
Morning, main room!
The Su family was having breakfast.

"Xiao Chen, when are you going to bring your wife back? Look at Li Fei in the yard... She's one year younger than you, but she's already married, and I heard she's pregnant."

"While grandma is still here, try to let me hold my great-grandson."

Su Chen, who was eating glutinous rice balls, paused and forced a smile that was uglier than crying. "Grandma, I'm only 24 years old this year. It's a good time to work hard. I want to wait two years before looking for a wife."

"Two more years? In two more years you will be 26, 27 in lunar age. Those who are still unmarried at the age of or are incompetent. Grandma doesn't want to listen to the gossips of those gossipers in the yard!"

Su Zhiyun, who had been eating silently, rarely put down his chopsticks. He knew that Su Chen had opportunities in Demon City, and he didn't want to be delayed because of the older generation's desire to have a great-grandson.

"Mom, don't worry about Xiaochen's affairs. He has his own ideas."

Hearing this, grandma glanced at Su Zhiyun and sighed slightly, "I'm old now. No one listens to me anymore."

Everyone lowered their heads and ate their breakfast, pretending not to hear anything. Seeing this, grandma had no choice but to give up.

After breakfast, several families began to pack up their things and prepare to go home.

After all, the birthday party is over and everyone has to return to normal life. Those who need to go to work go to work, and those who need to move bricks move bricks. They all have their own things to do.

"Grandma, let's go. I'll come back to see you when I have time!" Su Qingya said coquettishly while holding her grandmother's hand.

"Okay~ Granddaughter is still considerate of grandma, unlike some people who don't even see her twice a year!"

Hearing these veiled words, Su Chen scratched his head in embarrassment.

Seeing Su Chen's embarrassing look, Su Qingya laughed out loud.

Perhaps it was Su Qingya's laughter that infected her grandparents, so they didn't feel too sad when they parted.

As the car slowly drove out of the yard, Su Chen could still see through the rearview mirror his grandparents standing in the yard, watching them silently.

"Dad, why don't we bring grandpa and grandma to the city?" Su Chen turned and said to Su Zhiyun who was driving.

"Do I need to tell you that? I told your grandparents about this a long time ago, but they didn't agree. They didn't want us to live here for a while, saying they were not used to city life and that it was more interesting to take care of the land in the countryside."

"They have been working hard all their lives, and have taken root in this land. It is impossible for them to relax. If you have the heart to do so, just go back and visit them often!"

Su Chen nodded when he heard this, put his hands on the car window, and looked at the scenery outside the window quietly.

"Xiao Chen, when do you plan to visit your grandmother?" Chen Shufen, who was sitting in the back row, suddenly asked.

"Ah~ Look, it's either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I just want to go home and have a good rest for a day."

"Go tomorrow, I'll go with you then."

"Okay~"

When he was a child, the happiest thing for him was to go to his grandmother's house.

Because Su Chen's family was poor at that time and his parents basically wouldn't buy any snacks for him, what Su Chen looked forward to most was the Chinese New Year and visiting his grandmother to pay New Year's greetings, where he would not only receive red envelopes but also eat a lot of snacks.

But every time he received a red envelope, his mother Chen Shufen would take it away with various reasons, and she would even say that she was keeping it for him and would give it to him when he grew up.

Su Chen naively believed it at that time, and now he still feels a little uncomfortable when he thinks back on it.
-
"No way, Mom, you bought so much stuff that the trunk can hardly hold it all!"

Looking at the trunk filled with various nutritional supplements and canned fruits, if you didn’t know, you would think they were robbing a supermarket.

"It's a rare opportunity to go back, so what's wrong with buying something? Isn't that right?" Chen Shumin raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Chen unkindly. Seeing the murderous look in his mother's eyes, Su Chen quickly begged for mercy: "I should~I should!"

"Humph~ I'm just trying to save face for your Su family."

If it were in the past, Su Chen might not have understood the meaning of Chen Shufen's words, but after the recent teachings of his deep-rooted father, Su Chen would think divergently when considering things.

The Chen family used to be quite wealthy and had considerable power in the local area, but after some events and the death of my grandfather, the Chen family began to decline.

As a married woman, the number of gifts Chen Shufen brings back to her parents' home reflects her current living conditions. If she only brings one or two boxes of fruit, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that she is living a hard life.

And now, not only did she drive back, but she also had a trunk full of gifts. If the neighbors saw this, they would only say that Chen Shufen had married well and that the Su family was now prosperous.

"Okay~ Let's go, it's getting late."

Chen Shufen’s parents’ home is about 30 kilometers away from the city, in the same direction as Su Chen’s hometown, just across the river from each other.

Baixi Village~A small village on the Yangtze River.

Chen Changjie, Su Chen's second uncle, was standing on a black-sailed boat and arguing with the boat owner.

"Old Wu, we are all old acquaintances. This is your fault. You promised me two big river fish, but only one is left."

"Lao Chen, I have no other choice." Old Wu said as he took out a cigarette and gave one to Chen Changjie.

"My wife's brother-in-law just got a permanent job, and he wants to treat his boss to a simple meal, so he asked me to get a river fish. Besides, the one I left for you is not small, weighing about four pounds, which is definitely enough for you. If that doesn't work, I'll give you another river perch!"

Chen Changjie took a look at the catch in the fish tank and nodded helplessly, "Okay, pack them all up for me!"

Old Wu smiled innocently, weighed them briefly, and put both fish into the oxygen bag.

"The river fish is 4 pounds, and the river perch is 3 pounds. Just give me 2. This time it's my brother's fault."

Chen Changjie's eyes flashed with a gleam of light when he heard this. This price saved at least two hundred yuan.

He didn't waste any time and directly took out a stack of money from his pocket, including quite a few fifty and twenty notes.

He counted out five hundred yuan and handed it to the boat owner, Old Wu, said hello, and got off the boat carrying two bags of fish.

After walking onto the road, Chen Changjie burst into laughter. "I didn't expect to get such a good deal today. I really made a fortune."

"Uncle, what are you laughing about so happily?"

Chen Changjie, who was walking attentively, heard a voice suddenly ringing in his ear, which frightened him so much that he shivered.

When I turned around, I saw clearly that the person who spoke just now was Su Chen.

"Good boy, it's you. I was shocked just now! Where's your mom? She called and said she would come back together. How come I can't see her?"

Chen Changjie stretched his neck and looked around. Apart from a car parked not far away, he did not see Chen Shufen in the roadside supermarket.

"Here, in the car over there, come on, uncle, let's take the car back."

"In the car?" Chen Changjie looked at the Volkswagen SUV with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he still took a step forward and followed.
