Life is more than just living

Zhao Yuhan quickly changed the subject in order to prevent Cheng Qi from confusing the couple, "By the way, Cheng Baobao, last time you told us about the first time you and your husband met, how did you get together later? Come on. Talk about it!”

Cheng Qi started to hold back, "Come on, this is a long story." Chen Xu and Zhao Yuhan held her down, "Don't hold back, tell me quickly!" Zhao Yuhan quickly gave Cheng Qi a cup of fragrant tea, and then The two people sat across from each other and stared at Cheng Qi, fearing that they would miss a word.

Cheng Qi cleared her throat, "Listen to me and tell you in detail. This is my husband's and our memories put together because I wanted to write a novel before. Hehe, my husband's name is Chenggong, after his cousin. In terms of growing up, the names of their three brothers were simple and crude————

Successfully born in a big family, a large family living together gives people a feeling of prosperity, which is rarely the case here now. There are grandparents, uncle's family, and third uncle's family in the yard. Since his father does not come home all year round, only Chenggong and his mother live here. It is said that the ancestors of our family were scholars. Although Grandpa Chenggong's generation has declined, he has always paid attention to etiquette. Fortunately, the three sons and daughter-in-law are quite filial, so there are rules in the family compound. But after all, my grandfather had read books and knew how to keep pace with the times. After his sons got married, he concentrated on being a father-in-law. The clues can be seen from the names of the grandchildren. Originally, the old man wanted to choose a good name based on scriptures. But the eldest couple, Cheng Dehou and Hao Shuxian, first frustrated the old man's prestige. When the child was first brought back, Hao Shuxian took a preemptive strike and said that he wanted to name the child Chengcai, saying that it would sound good, easy to remember, and meaningful. So the old man rummaged through the books at home and came up with several alternative names and had no choice but to ignore them. When the third son Cheng De showed his son, he asked the old man for a good name. Unexpectedly, the old man said that he could not favor one over the other. Out of the consideration of equal treatment, he let the couple name themselves. The third son and the couple discussed it and decided to follow the old man's success. It was called growth. The second eldest son, Cheng Dechen, later also had a son. The second daughter-in-law, Li Yuzhen, who was uneducated but always competed with her elder sister-in-law, was not to be outdone and named her son Chenggong. The year when my uncle's son Chengcai graduated from junior college and was waiting for assignment happened to be the same year when he successfully passed the high school entrance examination. Originally, the eldest aunt Hao Shuxian had high hopes for her children. She had taught her children to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University from an early age. However, due to limited qualifications, the children only got admitted to a junior college. When the third uncle's son grew up, he didn't like to study since he was a child. He was a well-known naughty boy. He clamored to join the army after graduating from junior high school, and he joined the army at the end of the previous year. The uncle and his wife are both private teachers in the village primary school, and the third uncle and his wife are farmers. The successful father works as a manager in a shopping mall, but he rarely comes home. Li Yuzhen, a successful mother, is very beautiful and tall, but for some reason she does not get sympathy from her husband. She treats her with care in front of her parents-in-law, just like the old wives in TV dramas. When Cheng Cheng was in elementary school, he found out that his mother was illiterate and couldn't even write his own name. The young Cheng Cheng found it incredible that such an old person couldn't write his own name! So he wanted to teach his mother to write the three characters Li Yuzhen, but her mother responded with two hard slaps, which made Chenggong never dare to mention teaching his mother to read again. Therefore, until the year when Chenggong graduated from junior high school, her mother still could not write her own name. Cheng Cheng doesn't know if it's because his mother is illiterate. Except for New Year's Eve and Mid-Autumn Festival, his father almost never shows up at home. He has heard his mother complain since he was a child that his father is Chen Shimei and has settled down outside. Cheng Cheng has only been accompanied by his mother since he was a child. Not only Cheng Cheng, almost no one understands why Li Yuzhen must spend time in this family. Later, I successfully understood that serving her parents-in-law was the only way for her to have a family. During the festival, a large family reunited and sat around the big round table. Successfully saw the different expressions of the parents. His father, Cheng Dechen, looked very impatient, while his mother, Li Yuzhen, was sitting upright, as if she was declaring her sovereignty but not so confidently. The successful uncle, father and third uncle are all very filial people, so even though the children are old, they don't dare to split up and move out, and everyone still lives in the same yard. My grandparents live in the main house, and my uncle’s family’s house is in a row with my grandparents’ house. Chenggong and his mother lived in the wing on the left, and Uncle San's family lived in the wing on the right. Grandpa Cheng and Grandma Cheng did not allow Cheng Dechen and Li Yuzhen to divorce. For many years, Li Yuzhen had been living in the Cheng family as the second daughter-in-law of the Cheng family. Her husband, Cheng Dechen, lives outside with a female salesperson in his shopping mall. Although he has no name and no status, he has already given birth to a son and a daughter. Chenggong has always had excellent grades from elementary school to junior high school. His wish is to go to a good university so that his mother can be proud of herself and save her from having to hold her head high in front of her uncle's family. Both the uncle and the aunt were teachers, which made the illiterate mother feel ashamed. My eldest cousin became a talented person and was admitted to a junior college. Being able to go to a junior college in the 90s was also a gratifying thing in rural areas. Success has been very sensible since he was a child. He was a good student when he went to school and helped his mother with housework when he got home. His mother never bought him snacks, and he never wanted them. After graduating from junior high school, his mother said she had no money to send him to high school, so he went to work odd jobs at a construction site in the county. At first, the contractor was worried that he would not be able to do the job for a half-year-old child. However, after a few days, he found that this child can endure hardships and Easy-going attitude. Because the construction site was far away from home, he lived on the construction site and worked with Lao Qintou. Everyone knows that Lao Qintou is a slippery man and others don't like to partner with him, but even Lao Qintou thinks highly of success. Chenggong felt that he was a man and should earn his own tuition to avoid embarrassment to his mother. He calculated that he would be working for a month and a half until school started. He would earn more than 1000 yuan by working at the construction site during the day and doing shifts at night. The tuition and fees for a year of high school plus accommodation and food expenses would only be a few hundred yuan. , there is not much work on the construction site in winter, so I successfully planned to study hard at home during the winter vacation, and then come back to work during the summer vacation of my freshman year of high school to earn money for the next year. Success brings confidence and hope for the future. The head teacher of the junior high school knew that his family conditions were not good and kept encouraging him to persevere no matter how difficult it was and not to drop out of school. People say that children of poor people become rich early, and Chenggong thinks this makes sense. Because his father never came home, he and his mother were the only ones at home. Chenggong took on housework earlier than other children. But he is therefore braver than other children of the same age, always able to look directly at difficulties and actively find solutions. Because there was a precedent for his uncle's family of three to go to school, Chenggong felt that it would be a good way for him to repay his mother by getting ahead in college.

For some reason, Cheng Cheng couldn't sleep the night he met "Beggar". When he was thinking about his bright future, Beggar's little face would flash out from time to time. Cheng Cheng smiled and said to himself: "Qier, my brother is a high school student when school starts." At this time, Lao Qin turned over, chirped twice and said, "Sheng Cheng, you go out and look around." Cheng Cheng. He picked up a big flashlight and walked out, walked around outside and came back, then lay down on the makeshift bunk. This time he fell asleep quickly. He dreamed that he was going to high school to register, but he saw a beggar who had grown into a teenager but still had the face of a child. He ran over and said, "Brother, I have grown up, and we are classmates." ."

When Cheng Qi said this, she laughed silly for a while and said, "I sometimes have a little superstition. Really, my husband and I must have been destined in the past life." Chen Xu and Zhao Yuhan quickly urged her to tell her, " What happened next?"
