Chen Jue

"Last year, the school issued a loan policy for poor students."

Chen Jue froze.

He knew about it.As soon as the policy came out, he had applied for it, but was rejected by the counselor.The reason is that he did not see the word "poverty" in Chen Jue.Chen Jue was silent.

In Chen Jue's family, only Chen's father is the main source of income for the family, and his mother works in the street office for less than [-] yuan a month.The younger sister of the Chen family went to college in Spring City, and she said that she had worked part-time and studied, but a girl, unlike Chen Jue, had a lot of skills, what else could she do as a temporary worker besides tutoring tutoring?Calculated in this way, it is not bad that the little sister of the Chen family can support herself well.

As for Chen Jue, he had the salary accumulated in the past few years as a base, and he worked part-time at Shangguan Jin with a high salary. The tuition and living expenses for the past two years were all his own hard-working money, and he had some spare money to remit to his family.Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the counselor, the taste changed.As for why, Chen Jue knew a little bit about it, but he couldn't justify it because of it, so he could only say nothing.

Not using Duanmu Lei's money to pay the tuition fees was due to his pride, and it could be regarded as a little resistance.

"I don't ask where the money goes. You decide how to use it."

Chen Jue listened quietly, he knew that these words were just foreshadowing, and the most important thing was the follow-up.

"I have negotiated with Shangguan and the others. Three percent of my shares will be transferred in your name, and the proceeds will be distributed by you. I don't ask."

Chen Jue was a little shocked.He didn't understand why Duanmu Lei did this.But no matter what, he was still very grateful to Duanmu Lei for his hard work.

"Yayu. I regard you as family, and I hope you will too."

family?A touch of warmth lingered in Chen Jue's heart. He did not reject such caring words, and even felt a little vain after hearing them.

After ten days and a half of continuous work, I finally managed to get a general idea of ​​the house under Chen Jue's name. The simple and elegant interior decoration is equipped with generous and luxurious furniture, sky blue curtains, off-white floors, and complete and practical appliances.Chen Jue likes this house which is arranged by him and belongs to him.

Duanmu Lei left.

On the second day of New Year's Day, Shangguanrui, Li Mingyuan and Hao Shaofeng came to the residence of Duanmu Lei and Chen Jue alone.Frying, frying, and frying, all eighteen martial arts are used.This meal is not only a New Year's welcome meal, but also a reunion before parting.

Chen Jue, who was lying on the bed, woke up faintly. During this period of time, apart from buying home decorations, Duanmu Lei did not stay at home for a long time, except that Duanmu Lei pestered him all day and night yesterday, which made him almost think he would die. on the bed.

Duanmu Lei was away, so Chen Jue bought a train ticket to go home.In the past few years, the population of China has become the largest in the world. As the capital of the country, Beijing is an important hub of transportation between the north and the south. The passenger flow of Beijing Railway Station is comparable to the population of a European country.Chen Jue took the train for more than ten hours to arrive at T City, and after another three hours of bumpy rides on the bus, he finally arrived home.

From a distance, Chen Jue saw Father Chen walking around the door with his hands clasped, a little anxious, and joyful when he saw him.

Chen Qi is also back.I haven't seen you for more than a year, and that reserved and somewhat awkward girl has grown into a graceful girl.With a high ponytail and neat bangs, she looked joyful after seeing Chen Jue.Wiping her hands, she took the handbag from Chen Jue and greeted Chen Jue.

Mother Chen was overjoyed when she heard the news, holding a rolling pin in her hand, her voice could penetrate the roof of the house and reach the sky. "Boss is back?!"

"Mom." Chen Jue was also a little excited.He was unable to go home last year because of SARS. From the perspective of his father and mother, Chen, who values ​​his family very much, it is unsatisfactory and regrettable not to be able to have a family reunion during the Chinese New Year.

The dumplings on the train, the noodles on the train.After eating a bowl full of hand-rolled noodles made by Chen's mother, Chen Jue had a good night's sleep.After staying up for more than ten hours, he was exhausted and needed sleep to recover his energy.

"Boss is asleep?" Father Chen lowered his voice and bit his ears with Mother Chen.

"Yeah. I'm exhausted." Chen's mother was full of distress, she ordered a quilt for Chen Jue, closed the door carefully, and backed out with Chen's father.After seeing the little brother of the Chen family in the living room who was having a lot of fun, Mother Chen couldn't help but said in a bluffing voice: "Third brother, what are you looking for?"

The younger brother of the Chen family shivered for a moment, licked his face and said flatteringly, "I just want to see what good things the elder brother brought back." The elder brother said before that he would bring good things back to him, but he was just a little impatient, so he didn't wait. The eldest brother took it out and made enough food and clothing by himself.

"You unlucky child." Chen's mother twisted Chen Xiaodi's ears, wishing she could do nothing. "You can't wait a while. Didn't you see that your elder brother just fell asleep? I can't find it for you when he wakes up. I have to go and look for it. What should I do if I mess up your elder brother's things? Ah——"

Chen Yan, the younger brother of the Chen family, did not dare to struggle, and followed Mother Chen's strength to relieve the pain in his ears. "Mom, mom... It hurts, it hurts! Dad, don't care about your daughter-in-law, it's too violent!"

Father Chen, who has always favored his younger son, did not speak out to rescue him, and he disagreed with his younger son's behavior.Both the eldest son and the second daughter were admitted to university and were not at home. The youngest son was the only one left at home. He and Mother Chen couldn't help being a little partial. They didn't think much of it before, but now they see the problem.

"It's useless to call you dad. He's still out of tune at such a young age." Mother Chen taught Chen Yan a lesson.When the eldest was in her teens, she already helped her take care of her younger siblings and do some housework like a little adult. How could she look like this unlucky child.

Knowing that she was wrong, Chen Yan earnestly apologized and introspected and was forgiven by Chen's mother. She waved her hand and let her go.

Chen's mother squatted down, and put together Chen Jue's suitcase that made Chen Yan turn a little messy.A bulging envelope came into view, and Mother Chen opened it curiously, and was stunned.

There are a dozen of very thick hundred-yuan bills, some new and some old. A quick check is close to ten thousand yuan.

Mother Chen was dumbfounded. "Old Chen, old Chen..."

"What's wrong?" Hearing Mother Chen's voice as if her butt was scorched by fire, Father Chen hurriedly responded. "What happened?"

Showing the dozen of money to Father Chen, Father Chen was also dumbfounded.

Curious Chen Qi and Chen Yan, who were attracted by Chen's mother's voice, poked their heads one after another, and were also dumbfounded after seeing the things in Chen's mother's hands.

The Chen family's parents were surprised and amazed.Where did the boss get so much money?

Chen Qi was also very puzzled, she knew about her brother's part-time job, and also knew that this year's elder brother's tuition and living expenses were paid by herself, and she didn't ask for a penny from the family.She doesn't know the price and consumption level in Beijing, but it should not be much different compared to Spring City. Now she is struggling to pay for tuition and living expenses with student loans, tutoring, and temporary work. How can my eldest brother still have such a large balance? ah?

Chen Yan was just joining in the fun, as a teenager he had no concept of a large sum of money.

Mother Chen was very worried.She knew that Chen Jue had found a part-time job last year, and the salary was pretty good.She thought it would be good to pay the tuition fee, but after she received a call from Chen Jue saying that she didn't need his family to pay him living expenses, her heart was pounding.After receiving 1000 yuan sent home by Chen Jue this year, she became restless again.

The boss was admitted to Peking University is something that makes the whole family proud. Although the daughter is also admitted to the university, it is worth boasting. Firstly, she does not have the name of the old school, and secondly, she is a girl. In a small town that favors boys over girls, Her brilliance is far less bright than that of her elder brother Chen Jue.When their children are admitted to university, they have to sell rice and food, and they have to borrow money from the relatives of the seven aunts and eight aunts.Which child like her family earns money to pay tuition fees to subsidize living expenses?

If it was said that the money was obtained by Chen Jue through illegal activities, Mother Chen would be the first to not believe it.She knows her son better than her mother, knows her son well, and will never do anything that violates moral laws.She was afraid that the money was saved by the child working hard and not giving up food and clothing. Thinking of the eldest son who seemed to have lost a lot of weight when she met just now, Mother Chen was filled with sadness.

Father Chen put his arms around his wife and comforted him silently, waiting for the child to wake up before saying anything.

After sleeping for three hours, Chen Jue got up, and if he continued to sleep, he would not be able to sleep tonight.Patting his cheeks with cold water to wake up his drowsy brain nerves, Chen Jue looked puzzled and hesitated to speak, and his mother raised her eyebrows. "What's wrong?"

Mother Chen sighed, pointed to the bulging envelope on the suitcase and said, "This money..."

"I earned this money from trading in stocks."

stocks?What kind of object is that?Chen's mother and Chen's father were confused.Chen Qi and Chen Yan were also full of curiosity, the eldest brother is so amazing, he can actually trade in stocks (he was talking about things he had never heard of).

"Last year, I met a brother who introduced me to work as a part-time doctor with his friend. Later, I felt that it was not very convenient to go back and forth to work, so I lived in his house. In this way, I saved the cost of food and lodging. In the second half of this year I made some money from investing in stocks in partnership with others, and I left next year's tuition fees in my bankbook, and I brought back the rest." Under the cover of the entanglement with Duanmu Lei, Chen Jue briefly told the two elders about the matter.

After hearing that it was her son who earned the money with these two hands and did not treat her badly, Mother Chen's eyes were full of pride.

Chen Jue handed the envelope to Chen's mother, "This is 3000 yuan in total, Mom, please keep it."

"Hey." Mother Chen accepted it happily, and couldn't wait to take out the money and count one by one.This is the hard-earned money her son has earned, and she has to keep it for his son to marry a wife in the future.

"Brother, where's mine? Didn't you say you brought me something good?" Chen Yan clung to Chen Jue like a monkey.The alarm has been lifted, what time are you waiting for if you don't open your mouth at this time.

Chen Jue patted his younger brother's head with a smile, and took out a rectangular cardboard box from the bottom of the suitcase. After opening it and seeing what was inside, Chen Yan yelled out.

It is a small bully learning machine.Chen Yan was going crazy with joy.He has seen it in the homes of several classmates with good family backgrounds. They have a mouse, a keyboard, can play games, and can also study. It costs more than 1000 yuan!Holding the learning machine tightly in his arms, Chen Yan smiled silly.

Chen's mother on the side quit. This thing looks expensive, and it must cost a lot of money. "Boss, why did you buy this thing? It's too wasteful. Take it back and return it." Mother Chen, who has been diligent and thrifty all her life, doesn't like any wasteful behavior.

Chen Yan hugged her tightly, her eyes widened. In this family, what Chen's mother said was an imperial decree, and there was no room for resistance.But, can you not return...

"Mom." Looking at his younger brother like a puppy protecting the food in a funny way, Chen Jue explained: "It was a gift from someone else, and it didn't cost any money." Indeed, it didn't cost any money, Hao Shaofeng brought this thing from home , with a look of disgust, saying that his nephews and nephews don’t play with such inferior things anymore, so throw them away, the shiny new things are a bit wasteful, don’t throw them away, there is really no place to put them at home, I know Chen Jue’s family has A ten-year-old brother just threw his hands to Chen Jue for disposal.

Chen's mother pursed her lips. It was given by others, and it didn't cost any money, so... just forget it.

Father Chen is happy, although he doesn't know what it is, but seeing the nervousness and surprise on his youngest son's face, he also knows that it is a good thing.

Chen Jue started picking through the suitcase again, and the clothes and shoes for his parents and sister were still on the bottom floor.Father Chen's is a gray-black down jacket, which is just beginning to be fashionable in the small town, and it costs several hundred yuan a piece.Father Chen was holding the clothes, his hands trembling a little. When he was trying on the clothes just now, he saw the four digits on the label. Isn't this thing too expensive?

Seeing what Father Chen wanted to express, Chen Jue said: "The prices on the labels are all bluffing, there are not so many. I bought it when the mall was on sale, and it cost more than 100 yuan."

"Then what about this one?" Mother Chen is holding a mink fur, and the label shows more than 5000 yuan.

"Ah, that one. I bought it when I cleared the warehouse in the summer, and it was less than three hundred."

"Brother, what about mine?" Chen Qi's is a red British-style woolen coat and a pair of brown sheepskin short boots. Wearing it feels full of British ladylike style, both luxurious and foreign.

"More than 200?" Chen Jue was a little uncertain. These things were bought by Duanmu Lei, and the price he told Chen Jue to hear. Of course, Chen Jue absolutely did not believe the price of these things that came out of Uncle Duanmu's mouth.

"It's so cheap." Chen Qi happily turned left and right in front of the mirror to take a picture.She had never seen that classmate wear clothes and shoes of this style, and the feeling of being unique made the girl in her early twenties dizzy.

Chen Yan who opened his mouth to complain to his elder brother resolutely shut up after seeing the learning machine in his arms.As the favored youngest son, he is very good at observing words and expressions.Parents' and sister's clothes together are not as expensive as the items in his arms, and Chen Xiaodi said that he doesn't care about clothes.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Jue boarded the train back to Beijing.

This year has been a bit boring and helpless.

Chen's mother took him and Chen Qi to and from various relatives' homes as if rushing to the market.A subtle smile, a restrained smile, a confident smile... Chen Jue's face almost froze when dealing with relatives and friends.

Chen Jue would send text messages to Duanmu Lei every three days or so, or report that he was safe, or tell what he did during the day.Whenever she saw the "send failed" displayed on the screen, Chen Jue couldn't help but feel worried.

Chen Jue was worried about Duanmu Lei's personal safety, as well as his job.

He has already been tied to Duanmu Lei, and both will be prosperous and all will be lost.

Duanmu Lei, how are you...how are you?

Chen Jue here is worried, and Duanmu Lei over there is having a hard time.
