During the routine phone call between the two brothers at night, when Yu Yong mentioned buying a train ticket, Mu Chen disagreed, and he explained his new cognition, which was a bit heavy for self-reflection, but Mu Chen laughed.

"Xiaoyong, let me tell you a story. Dr. Liu in our hospital is also from D University. He is a brother of a senior. He is a very good person. He has a good relationship with his wife. We have all met his daughter-in-law. She is very responsible and speaks well. Everything she does is okay, and everyone speaks well of her, but a while ago, the two suddenly had a quarrel and almost left. We went to make peace, and what do you think happened?"

Yu Yong was a little taken aback, "I don't know."

Muchen, "Make a good guess, the reason is definitely beyond your imagination."

Yu Yong thought for a while, "If you want to say that, then it shouldn't be who is having an affair or who is cheating. Could it be that you won the lottery and the distribution is uneven?"

Mu Chen, "No. It's ridiculous to say that Dr. Liu has also studied abroad. He has a high professional level, the kind who can use throwing knives, and the treatment given by the senior brother is good. There are tens of thousands of dollars a month."

Yu Yong interrupted him, "Brother, his salary is much higher than yours."

Mu Chen smiled, "That's the income of throwing knives, don't make trouble, listen to me carefully."

Yu Yong smiled, "Yeah".

Mu Chen added, "This woman has been taking care of the child at home for the past few years. This year, she said that she couldn't be free after the child went to school, and she didn't want to work for others, so she wanted to open a supermarket by herself. Doctor Liu didn't agree. I set up a store near their community. It turned out to be fun, and it is said that I made some money, but she changed the unit of measurement for all their expenses to a bottle of water."

Yu Yong, "Ah? What water, I don't understand."

Mu Chen smiled, "She said, a bottle of water costs two yuan for one wholesale, and sells for three yuan, which can only make [-] cents. In the end, whatever money the family spends, they have to calculate how many bottles of water they need to sell."

Yu Yong, "No way."

Muchen laughed even louder, "Really, the senior brother made peace with them. They had already booked the restaurant and they couldn't invite them. They said they had to visit the restaurant. In the end, we had to eat with Dr. Liu by ourselves. The senior brother even packed it for her." The food was brought to the store, but as soon as we started chatting, she accused Dr. Liu of all kinds of waste, such as 38 for a cup of coffee, she couldn’t make it back by selling a box of water, a box of water was only 2000 bottles, and a pair of shoes cost more than [-]. How many bottles of water are sold... Anyway, I gave a lot of examples, and each one has to be converted into how many bottles of water are sold, haha."

Yu Yong also laughed, "You Doctor Liu must be mad."

Mu Chen, "Doctor Liu has been crazy for a long time. The relationship between the two of them was very good and they trusted each other. She was in charge of the family's money. Doctor Liu usually only put a few thousand yuan in money and took a card. In the end, she gave it to Doctor Liu. There was 500 yuan in the wallet, which was said to be pocket money for a month, and the cards were taken away, forcing Dr. Liu to report the loss of all the cards, and the car would not let go if it wasn’t for picking up the children.”

Yu Yong, "Bull! Then what?"

Mu Chen, "Then? Then let the senior brother clean it up. The senior brother said, 'So you earned money from selling water for your house and car? Our senior brother Liu is also a famous doctor, and he even drinks a cup of coffee. Sorry, if you continue to mess around, we all support your divorce. Senior Brother Liu can leave the house without leaving the house. Anyway, with such a shabby shop like you, he can even earn back the house in a year or two.'”

Yu Yong laughed, "You're really blunt."

Mu Chen also laughed, "At the beginning, I tried to be polite, but she couldn't listen to people, so she started to make various calculations, and finally pissed off senior brother, and slapped the table and scolded her."

Yu Yong, "What about the end?"

Muchen, "In the end she sold the store. She invited us out for a meal a year ago. I was very embarrassed, but I heard from Dr. Liu that he manages the money at home now."

Yu Yong, "Haha, it's still Gu Ge."

Mu Chen also laughed, "Yes, she is the daughter-in-law chosen by Dr. Liu's parents. She has never gone to college and looks average. It is said that she fell in love with her filial piety and can live a good life. Dr. Liu is a dutiful son... Later she also Said that during that period of time, it was like being in a daze, and it would be fine if the store was closed."

Yu Yong, "Fortunately, she is still able to react."

Muchen, "Then have you reacted?"

Yu Yong, "Huh?"

Muchen chuckled, "Don't you think you're about to be the same as her? How many days' salary can be calculated for everything?"

Yu Yong...not really.

Muchen's voice was as clear as ever, with infinite gentleness, "Xiaoyong, it's good that you are cost-conscious, but you also need to have a pattern and a broad horizon."

Yu Yong, "..." If I had earned it by myself, I wouldn't feel so distressed. Isn't this the last bit of your foundation.

Muchen began to confuse, "You can only come in the third year of junior high school, senior brother seventh and eighth junior high school will go back to City Y to deal with the house, move Teacher Ding, and take you to visit those people, so we can stay for four days at most. If you want to take the train, you have to subtract one day, and besides, you can’t buy a sleeper berth even in the third grade of junior high school, I guess there are no soft sleepers, so you should fly over here, and I will book tickets for you now.”

Yu Yong "...Oh."

On the [-]th night, Lin Hong showed her skills and cooked ten dishes. According to her, it meant perfection, and the taste was not bad, but compared with Mu Chen's cooking, it was generally oily and salty.

Seeing that the three were eating happily, Yu Yong just mentioned that both of them are getting old, so they should eat lightly.He spoke softly, and the atmosphere was not affected. After the family happily ate, they went to the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

The two elder sisters sat on the sofa, Zhang Qiang went to wash the dishes, Yu Yong wiped the table and mopped the floor, and went to the second floor to call Mu Chen after checking if there was nothing wrong.

Jiang Cheng had already arrived in City N yesterday, and he was currently on duty with Muchen in the hospital.Originally, Mu Chen asked him to rest at home, but Jiang Cheng insisted on following him to the hospital.

The hospital is newly built, and its positioning is high. There are not many patients. Those who can be discharged have been discharged before, and few are still hospitalized.Except for the inpatient department and the emergency department, many floors are filled with darkness, plus the large area, the empty and quiet is scary.

In the afternoon, Mu Chen asked the restaurant to add more dishes, made dumplings, and cooked glutinous rice balls, taking care of the tastes of the north and the south.After dinner, he took Jiang Cheng to the inpatient department first, greeted the colleagues who were still on duty, and then began to visit them one by one.

Following his explanation, Jiang Cheng felt more at ease, this hospital is very good in terms of architecture, facilities, equipment, personnel, and positioning.

The voice-activated lights flickered on and off amidst the sound of footsteps, Jiang Cheng praised, "This little Gu is really capable, Chenchen, don't look at you are struggling to make ends meet, you will definitely be able to do it in the future."

Mu Chen nodded, "I know, I'm not worried, senior brother is not an ordinary person, I can rest at home even if I keep up with him."

Jiang Cheng smiled, "And he really cares about you and Bowen."

Muchen curled his lips, "I can't compare with Bowen, he's the one on top of his heart."

Jiang Cheng smiled even more happily, "This is different. Just looking at your shareholding ratio, you can tell how much he cares about you. He really treats you like a brother."

Mu Chen nodded, "Well, you have to take care of everything, and now the blog posts are all broken."

Jiang Cheng smiled, "Is it alright to leave you alone? I am convinced that there is such a person in charge of you. Look at you now, you are much more energetic than before."

Muchen touched his nose, "Oh."

After thinking about it, he asked again, "Uncle Cheng, when do you plan to retire? You should retire early, the senior brother said, when the hospital makes money, we will buy two better villas, and we will live together. Stay. Hmph, now that Teacher Ding is here, Bowen is very proud, a child with a father is really a treasure, and now there are two people in the family doting on him, smiling all day long."

Jiang Cheng smiled happily, "Okay, in a few years, Teacher Ding is a few years older than me. Now that you are all busy, it's okay if I come, at most I can raise flowers for you."

Mu Chen, "Who said that, senior brother said he was going abroad for relaxation this time, but he actually wanted to contact a surrogate. He has been studying for several years and plans to have a baby this year."

Jiang Cheng was taken aback, "Really? How is the security? How does the woman screen?"

Mu Chen, "I don't know the specifics. Senior brother is very cautious. He wanted to wait a little longer. One is that the hospital is still not working, and the other is that he and Bowen still want to spend a few more years in their world. But now Teacher Ding Come, Mr. Ding is always afraid that his living here will affect Bowen, so he has been unable to let go of it. In addition to those things at home, he is also suffering if he doesn't talk about it. Besides, he has been teaching, and now he can't adapt to being free all of a sudden. The senior brother said to replace one for Bowen first, so that Teacher Ding can do something, and Bowen will definitely feel better when he has a child."

Jiang Cheng really sighed, "Xiao Gu is really good, really good, and the blog post is also considered a blessing."

Mu Chen, "That's right. Originally, the blog post meant to replace the senior brother. After all, he is a few years older than us, so he should be the first. But the senior brother said that even if Mr. Ding had no idea, he would be happier if the blog post came first. It's human nature."

Jiang Cheng, "Now Teacher Ding has come to the end of all hardships."

Muchen, "Yeah, Bowen has been very uneasy all these years. I always feel sorry for his father, or I can be happy like this now. I also plan to have it in two years. When the time comes, you can come back and help me take care of the child, okay?"

Jiang Cheng was very pleasantly surprised, "Really? Then I will come back when you have it. Why don't you ask for it with Xiao Gu now, don't wait for the hospital's money to buy a villa, I will buy it for you."

Mu Chen laughed, "Uncle Cheng, why are you in such a hurry, you're really old, this matter is not that simple, you have to look for the nanny and housekeeper, and the senior brother doesn't want to talk to their family."

Jiang Cheng was a little surprised, "Are you still looking for a housekeeper? How big a house is this going to buy?"

Muchen nodded, "Well, senior brother said this is the last trouble, buy a bigger one, and you will have at least four children in the future, but those who can meet this requirement will not be close to the urban area, so if you want to find a nanny, you must Please housekeeper, cook, driver, etc., when the time comes, you and Teacher Ding will only be responsible for teasing the children."

Jiang Cheng smiled longingly, "You have to make preparations when you have a lot of things to do. Sooner or later, my money will not be yours, why are you being polite to me, this time I will leave the card to you."

Muchen...

Just as he didn't know what to say, the phone rang, and when he took it out, he couldn't help but smile, "Xiaoyong?"

The corridor was very quiet, and the voice on the phone was clearly audible. Jiang Cheng listened to the two talking nonsense about what and how much they ate for the night.

Looking for a boyfriend in the same way, looking at Gu Ning, and then at Yu Yong, I couldn't help but sigh.

Although he also feels that he is a bit like a mother-in-law who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, no, why is it not the old man, and it is not right, it should be the husband, right?

Putting down the phone that was already hot, he checked that it was nine o'clock, Yu Yong went downstairs with the charger, and the three people downstairs were watching TV.

The dinner was salty, so Yu Yong went down to make a cup of tea, "Brother Qiang, would you like a cup too?"

Zhang Qiang shook his head, "No, this will make you sleepy."

Yu Yong nodded and saw that there were several glasses of water on the small coffee table.

He walked to the massage chair and sat down, first charged the phone, then received and sent text messages, still eating melon seeds in his mouth, and glanced at the TV from time to time.

Lin Lan watched happily, "You're quite busy, sit and watch, it's slanted over there."

Yu Yong shook his head, "I'm charging, and besides, I don't like to watch the Spring Festival Gala, so just listen to it."

This night, the two elder sisters persisted until midnight. As soon as the New Year's countdown bell rang, Yu Yong jumped up and walked to the back room. Lin Lan's face sank.

Zhang Qiang didn't know why, so he waited for the bell to ring and earnestly wished the two of them New Year's greetings, "Happy New Year, Mom! Happy New Year, Second Aunt! Everyone should be healthy and happy this year."

Lin Lan forced a smile, took out a red envelope and handed it over, "Happy New Year Xiaoqiang, here is the lucky money."

Zhang Qiang waved his hand with a smile, "I don't want it, I'm already twenty and still receive the New Year's money?"

Lin Hong also said, "Forget it, he's grown up, I won't give it to him after he's eighteen."

Lin Lan persisted in holding the red envelope, "You are also my nephew at [-], take it quickly, you don't have much money, let's make it auspicious." Seeing that Zhang Qiang still didn't move, she urged, "Hurry up, don't make me anxious. Or wait for me to send it to you?" As he spoke, he leaned on the sofa to get up.

Zhang Qiang hurriedly came over to support her, Lin Lan stuffed the red envelope into his hand, "Second Aunt has no skills, just don't think too little. Qiang, you have to take good care of your body. You don't think it when you are young. If you have something wrong with your age, you will be fine." They're all out."

Zhang Qiang smiled and helped her stand still, "Second Aunt, do you still want to see it? Or go to the bathroom?"

She didn't see Yu Yong walking out of the bedroom until she came out of the bathroom, "Mom, Brother Qiang, Happy New Year, Auntie. Are you hungry? Let me cook some dumplings?"

Lin Lan was upset, "It's been a long time since Xiaoqiang paid us New Year's greetings, and you can't stop talking on the phone."

Yu Yong didn't take it seriously, "Well, wish my brother and Uncle Cheng a New Year's greetings, which one of you will sign up to eat dumplings, I'll cook the mutton stuffing."

Zhang Qiang, "I'll eat five."

Yu Yong, "If you don't cook five, at least ten."

Zhang Qiang, "Ten can't sleep."

Yu Yong, "It doesn't matter."

Zhang Qiang, "The six?"

Seeing the brothers talking and laughing as they entered the kitchen, Lin Lan sat down on the sofa, Lin Hong was not in a good mood, and went to brush her teeth to get ready for bed.

Lin Lan watched them eat the dumplings and clear the table before getting up to wash up. Over there, Zhang Qiang said that he couldn't move, and Yu Yong yelled to drag him out for a walk to digest food.
