Chapter 151 Rich people have distant relatives in the mountains
We had a simple lunch at noon, mainly because Su Chen and his friends came at a very unfortunate time.
It was already 11:30 in the morning when they arrived. Even if Chen Changjie wanted to cook a big dish, it was too late. He could only eat a little bit and make something delicious in the evening.
After lunch, Su Zhiyun took Chen Shufen for a walk around, wanting to show off. In the morning, when he went around the houses of several families next door, those people called him Brother Zhiyun.
In the past, he would never have dared to think about this. All the relatives and neighbors would call her "Shufen's family" without even having a name.
As for Su Chen, it was even more interesting. Xiao Yaoyao seemed to be clinging to him. Even when eating, she wanted Su Chen to hold her in his arms. No matter what Chen Rui and his wife said, Xiao Yaoyao would not come out and insisted on being held by Su Chen.
"Uncle~" Xiao Yaoyao looked straight at Su Chen with her big watery eyes.
Looking at Xiaoyaoyao's cute appearance, Su Chen couldn't help but pinch her little face, "Well~ What's wrong with Xiaoyaoyao?"
Xiao Yaoyao pouted and touched the little face that had been pinched just now. It seemed that Su Chen's force was a little too strong, making her feel a little pain.
In a moment, tears welled up in the big dark eyes, which scared Su Chen, and he quickly hugged Xiao Yaoyao back.
"Did uncle use too much force just now? Uncle apologizes to you. Don't cry!" Su Chen was at a loss for a moment. He said a lot of nice things but Xiao Yaoyao didn't get any better. She still looked like she was about to cry.
This stumped Su Chen, who had no experience in this area before, and could only try to comfort her with his limited experience.
Just as he was about to call his sister-in-law for help, an idea flashed through his mind. He rubbed Xiao Yaoyao's head and said, "Xiao Yaoyao, do you want a Barbie doll? Uncle will buy it for you!"
While speaking, Su Chen took out his cell phone, found photos of Barbie dolls on the Internet and showed them to Xiao Yaoyao.
As expected... When Xiao Yaoyao saw the picture of the Barbie doll, she couldn't take her eyes away and a smile appeared on her face, but she soon thought of something and said with a pout: "Uncle, we still don't buy the Barbie doll. Mom will beat me if she finds out!"
She said no, but her eyes kept glancing at Su Chen's phone from time to time.
"Hahaha~ It's okay, uncle will talk to your mom later!" After saying that, Su Chen picked up Xiao Yaoyao and walked towards Big G.
But he didn't notice the smug look on Xiao Yaoyao's face as she leaned on his shoulder.
The white G-Class slowly drove out of the courtyard. At this time, the second sister-in-law also hurried down from upstairs. Looking at the G-Class going away, she couldn't help but sighed, "Ah, this little rascal hopes to save his uncle some trouble."
Su Chen did not go to the town, mainly because the town was not very big and he was not very familiar with it. Besides, it was unclear whether there were any Barbie dolls for sale in the town. Instead of wasting time, it would be better to go directly to Fuzhou City.
Su Chen didn't drive very fast along the way, only about 50 to 60 miles per hour, mainly because he was worried that something might happen to Xiao Yaoyao in the back seat.
What surprised him was that the little girl was extremely sensible and didn't cry or make a fuss. She just loved lying on the window and looking at the scenery outside. Whenever she passed by an interesting place, she would use her baby voice to ask Su Chen to take a look as well.
It’s true that the scenery that we don’t pay attention to on a normal day has a special charm from a child’s perspective.
After driving for more than half an hour, they arrived in the city. It was quite different from what Su Chen had expected. It was not as congested as he had imagined. On the contrary, there were surprisingly few cars on the road, and most of them were taxis.
Chongqing Department Store, as one of the most representative supermarkets in the local area, is always bustling even during the Chinese New Year.
"Wow~ Uncle, there are so many Barbie dolls!" Xiao Yaoyao couldn't move her eyes away when she arrived at the children's toy area. The various kinds of Barbie dolls completely refreshed her cognition.
Seeing Xiao Yaoyao eager to try, Su Chen quickly put her down. Xiao Yaoyao walked over quickly with her little legs, not like a child who was just over two years old at all.
"Wow, this is so pretty!"
"Ah~ There are so many clothes to match this!"
For a moment, Xiao Yaoyao was immersed in the beauty of the Barbie doll.
As expected, no little girl can escape the temptation of Barbie dolls, just like every little boy likes to buy toy guns.
"Xiao Yaoyao, is there anyone you like?" Su Chen walked to her side, squatted down and asked in a low voice.
"Uncle~" Xiao Yaoyao pouted, her eyes wandering over those beautiful Barbie dolls.
"Just buy this one!" Xiao Yaoyao said, pointing to the Barbie doll at the bottom.
At first glance, Su Chen was a low-level Barbie doll, without even a change of clothes, and yet the price was the cheapest among all the Barbie dolls.
Seeing this, Su Chen understood the little guy's idea. He smiled and touched Xiao Yaoyao's head and said, "Are you really going to buy this?"
A trace of confusion appeared on Xiao Yaoyao's face. She looked at the Barbie dolls at the top for a few more times, and finally nodded reluctantly, "Uncle, let's buy this one."
After saying this, there was no smile on Xiao Yaoyao's face anymore. Only her pouting mouth and depressed expression.
“Hahahaha~” Su Chen smiled and picked up Xiao Yaoyao, then waved to the staff beside him and said, “Except for this cheapest one, pack up all the other Barbie dolls for me.”
"what?"
"what!"
Two different exclamations were heard, and no one expected Su Chen to be so magnanimous.
"Uncle, you are so nice!" Xiao Yaoyao said as she kissed Su Chen on the face, her eyes smiling into crescent shapes.
The staff member at the side also came to his senses and confirmed with Su Chen again that such a big customer is rare once a year.
After getting Su Chen's affirmative answer, the staff quickly called two colleagues from the children's toy area to come and help. You know, there are thirty or forty Barbie dolls, and if all of them are sold, the commission alone will be several hundred yuan.
Soon the staff packed all the Barbie dolls, filling ten bags. When we checked out, the total cost was nearly seven thousand.
Su Chen finally understood why it was so easy to make money from children and women. These Barbie dolls might only cost a few hundred yuan, which was a huge profit. But who asked his little niece to like them?
After buying the Barbie doll, Su Chen did not leave Chongbai, but went to the children's clothing area not far from the children's toy area and bought more than ten sets of clothes and shoes for Xiao Yaoyao, all of which were different.
Su Chen also received several pats from Xiao Yaoyao.
By the time we got back to my grandmother's house, it was already past four in the afternoon. There were quite a few people sitting in the courtyard at this time, all of them were Chen's relatives living near the village. They all knew that the husband of the youngest daughter of the Chen family was now rich, and they all came to show their presence.
Seeing the white G-Class driving into the yard, everyone who was chatting consciously moved their benches away to make room for Su Chen's car.
"Grandpa~" Xiao Yaoyao leaned on the car window and shouted at Chen Changjie.
It is said that generations apart are close to each other, and Chen Changjie is no exception. He dotes on his little granddaughter to the point of being afraid that she will melt when he holds her in his hands.
Chen Changjie smiled and took Xiao Yaoyao down from the car. He scratched her nose and asked, "Where did you go with your uncle?"
"Hehe~ My uncle took me to the city to play and bought me lots of Barbie dolls and clothes!" Xiao Yaoyao said this while gesturing in the air with her hands.
Chen Changjie smiled, thinking that they were just a few toys and a few sets of clothes, but when he saw the trunk slowly opening, his mouth opened wide.
Even Chen Changjie, another relative sitting in the yard, came over curiously, and was shocked when he saw the trunk full of various handbags.
Especially those handbags have hundreds of dollars worth of logos on them. As a local, you naturally know that the things bought in them are worth hundreds or thousands of dollars. Those twenty or so handbags alone are worth at least thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.
"How much did you spend?" Chen Changjie smacked his lips and asked Su Chen.
"It didn't cost much!" Su Chen would definitely not reveal it. After all, there were other people around. What if he upset them by saying this?
It really is true that a poor person is ignored in a busy city, but a rich person has distant relatives even in remote mountains. Su Chen has never seen so many relatives at his grandmother's house, and he has no impression of many of them at all.
He greeted these relatives politely, and then carried all the things in the trunk into the car with his second uncle Chen Changjie.
After Su Chen and the others left, the sound of people talking could be heard again in the courtyard.
"I didn't expect Chen Yaomei to be so successful now. She found a good husband. Look, she drives a Mercedes now!"
"Who says it's not true? It's fate. Chen Yaomei's husband used to be a driver. He had to get up early even when he came back to her parents' home. It's only been a year since I last saw him and he's already driving a multi-million dollar car. Wow, I'm so envious."
"Who said envy can't come from it!" A middle-aged man who seemed to know something about the inside story looked inside the room and whispered, "I heard that the hot pot restaurant opened by Chang Jie was set up with the help of Chen Yaomei."
"Everyone knows how popular Chang Jie's hotpot restaurant is. There are lines of dozens of minutes every day. Just imagine how popular Chen Yaomei's hotpot restaurant is in Fuzhou City!"
At the end, he pretended to sigh and said, "It would be great if Chen Yaomei could help us like she helped her brother, even if it's in another town."
I don't know who said in the crowd, "We are all relatives, so what's wrong with helping each other?"
These words instantly touched everyone's heart. They all lowered their heads and said nothing, but from their constantly moving eyes, it could be seen that everyone was uneasy at the moment.
"Wow~" The bench was pushed away, and as the first person stood up and left, the rest of the people did not stop at all, and one by one they stood up and walked towards their homes. If you didn't know their speed, you would think they were rushing home to cook.
Su Chen didn't know the situation outside, and even if he knew, he would just smile. What era is this? Are you still going to use family ethics to bind people?
Just go to bed, you can dream about anything.
Hearing Xiao Yaoyao's cheers, Chen Shufen and others who were busy in the kitchen came out. When they saw Xiao Yaoyao constantly taking out exquisite Barbie dolls from her handbag, they stared at her with wide eyes.
Especially the second sister-in-law. She had heard the conversation between the two upstairs before, but what she didn't expect was that Su Chen would actually buy so many things for Xiao Yaoyao, and they seemed to be not cheap.
"What's going on, brother? Did you buy this for Yaoyao?" Chen Rui asked somewhat uncomfortably as he looked at the scene in front of him.
"Well~ I took her to the Zhongbai Department Store in the city and bought her some Barbie dolls and clothes." Looking at Xiao Yaoyao's happy smile, Su Chen's face also showed some joy.
Bought some? Can this be called a little?
How could Chen Rui, who used to take Xiao Yaoyao to the children's playground, not to mention that it was in a place like Chongqing Department Store, not to mention the prices of those Barbie dolls.
He took a quick look and saw at least thirty or forty Barbie dolls, none of which were the same, and some of them were co-branded and customized. These alone would cost several thousand yuan.
Not to mention there are more than a dozen sets of clothes and shoes. You have to know that children's clothes are more expensive than adults'. These things add up to at least more than 10,000 yuan.
This made Chen Rui at a loss for words for a moment.
"Alright, alright, Xiao Rui, you two can pack up all these things. It's not a big deal. By the way, second brother, go see if the group of people outside have left."
Chen Shufen naturally knew how rich her son was now, so buying him some toys was nothing. What's more, Xiao Yaoyao was also very much loved by her. When she was about to leave, she secretly gave Xiao Yaoyao a big red envelope.
After hearing what Chen Shufen said, Chen Rui and his wife immediately took action. They knew how rich their aunt was now, so why were they being so pretentious now that she had spoken?
As for Chen Changjie, he did not hesitate. His sister was becoming more and more powerful. Whenever he faced her, he felt like he was facing some important figure. He was extremely scared.
Chen Changjie left quickly and came back quickly. When Chen Shufen learned that those people had left, she nodded and said nothing. She knew what those relatives were like, otherwise they would not have sat in the yard for an entire afternoon.
There is no need to worry too much about these things now. What if Chen Shufen is just overthinking it?
The evening dishes were so rich, including chicken, duck, fish, mutton and beef.
"Xiao Chen, try this steamed Jiangtuan and see how it tastes." Chen Changjie bought this in the afternoon after running around to several places. This Jiangtuan alone cost him nearly a thousand yuan.
You should know that Jiangtuan is known as one of the four delicacies of the Yangtze River. Its taste and meat quality are comparable to that of knife fish, which is enough to show how precious this thing is. If you can buy it during the Chinese New Year, you really can't do it without spending some time and effort.
Su Chen picked up a piece of meat and handed it to grandma's bowl and said, "Grandma, you eat first!"
"Hahaha~ Good grandson eats it too!" said grandma with a grin.
Then everyone started eating, and the laughter at the table filled the whole room.
Some are happy while others are sad. Chen Changjie's family is eating happily, but naturally there are many others who are unhappy.
After two days of intravenous drip, the patient survived, but his head was still a little dizzy. He was sweating profusely. He was sweating like rain today. He changed several sets of clothes, but he was able to squeeze out the water. He felt much better in the evening.
I heard from the doctor in the hospital that colds have been more frequent recently, so everyone should pay more attention.
