Chapter 212 Bringing Parents to Huizhou for the New Year
As soon as Cao Sheng got out of the car, he heard several neighbors talking to him with a smile.

"Hey! Ah Sheng! Is this car yours? Are you back?"

"Ah Sheng Ah Sheng! Is your car called a BMW?"

"Ah Sheng! Are you back for the New Year?"

"Cao Sheng! When did you buy this car? I didn't see you driving it the last time you came back!"

……

The neighbors' chattering attracted Cao Sheng's attention.

He couldn't answer so many questions at the same time. If it were him before his rebirth, he would definitely feel a little uncomfortable facing so many neighbors asking questions at the same time.

But he has experienced many big scenes in the past two years, so he can handle this small scene calmly.

He smiled at everyone, walked quickly to the back of the car, opened the trunk lid, reached in and grabbed a Chinese dumpling.

This was a New Year's gift he bought specially before he came back. He had originally intended to give it to his eldest and second uncles to wish them a happy New Year in advance.

But today the neighbors were so enthusiastic that he took one out and used it first.

He had the habit of smoking before he was reborn, so he casually opened a whole carton of cigarettes and walked towards the neighbors while opening it. He handed a pack to any man he saw, and also handed a pack to any woman whose man was not present.

While passing out cigarettes, he said, "Long time no see! Thank you all for taking care of my parents! Thank you! Thank you!"

The men and women who received Huazi were all surprised and happy.

An old lady couldn't help but come forward to ask for cigarettes, and Cao Sheng was not stingy and handed her a pack.

Today, a piece of Chinese citrus fruit is just a drizzle to him.

Anyway, he only comes back once or twice a year, and every time he comes back he can use such a small gift to make the relationship with the neighbors more harmonious, and his parents who usually live in the village can live more comfortably.

After he finished smoking a cigarette, he saw that there were a dozen children of different ages around him. He went to the trunk, took out a box of osmanthus cake, opened it and distributed it to the children.

During this time, he also answered a few questions from the neighbors with a smile.

For example: "A Sheng! I heard that you made a fortune by writing novels? How much did you earn?"

Rural people like to ask others about their income.

Cao Sheng said casually: "Not much! After building the house and buying the car, there won't be much left!"

For example: "Hey! Xiaosheng! You are doing so well now, don't you have a girlfriend? Why haven't I seen you bring a girl home?"

They also like to ask young people if they have a partner.

Cao Sheng smiled and replied: "I'm not even 20 yet! When I find a girlfriend, I'll definitely bring her back for you to see!"

For example: "A Sheng! I heard that the novels you wrote were made into movies. Do you know a lot of female stars now? Do you think you can find a female star in the future?"

Cao Sheng laughed, "I'll try my best! I'll try my best to find one!"

In just a few minutes, as Cao Sheng answered each sentence, the whole place burst into laughter.

When Cao Sheng said goodbye to everyone and went home.

The neighbors behind him were already praising him.

"This kid is great! He's willing to give us such good cigarettes."

"Asheng has really made great progress!"

"Compared with Ah Sheng, my kid can't even touch his edge..."

"In our village, Xiaosheng should be the most promising kid, right?"

"That's not the case!"

……

Cao Sheng could hear the comments from his neighbors. He smiled and didn't look back. Just then, his mother heard the noise outside the yard and came over to open the gate.

He simply drove the car into the yard.

When he walked into the main room and held up the tea his mother had made, he had just chatted with his parents for a few words when the gate was pushed open. It was his aunt who heard that he was back and asked him to come to her house for dinner in the evening.

A moment later, the second grandfather also came with his hands behind his back and hunched over, saying that he came to see Cao Sheng.

A little later, a cousin came in wearing leather pants for fishing, holding a big black carp in his hand. He said that the fish pond at home had been drained today and he was catching fish, and this big black carp was for Cao Sheng to eat.

One afternoon, after Cao Sheng returned home, relatives from home basically never stopped visiting.

Either you come or I go.

Elders like my second grandfather would just sit there and not leave when they came.

Not only Cao Sheng was not used to the relatives' enthusiasm, but his parents were even less used to it.

This is also one of the main reasons why Cao Sheng plans to take his parents to Huizhou to celebrate the New Year this year.

Cao Sheng had dinner at home that day.

There were seven or eight relatives eating together, such as my second grandfather, uncle, aunt, cousin and so on.

In fact, before Cao Sheng became famous, the relationship between his family and these relatives was quite average, neither very good nor very bad.

But we have never been so passionate about each other.

That night, Cao Sheng stayed at home.

The next morning, I drove to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle and grandmother in advance.

I left some gifts, had some lunch, and then came back.

That afternoon, he drove his parents to Huizhou.

It is worth mentioning that before leaving, his parents put a lot of things in his car, not only their spare clothes, but also some bacon, salted fish, live chickens, live ducks, etc., stuffing his trunk full. He didn't want to bring live chickens and live ducks, but his mother said: "We are going to Huizhou with you this time, and we won't be back until after the New Year. If we don't take these chickens and ducks with us, they will starve to death if we leave them at home."

Even the family dog ​​was carried into the car.

As the car drove out of the village, Cao's father touched the leather seat under his buttocks and said with emotion: "I never thought that I would be able to ride in a car in this life. It's like a dream."

Cao's mother also looked a little emotional, but she joked, "Look at you, you are such a loser!"

along the way.

They looked at the scenery outside the car window and seemed unable to see enough.

As authentic farmers, they have never traveled far in their lives.

When the car drove onto the mountain road, they were surprised by the not-so-tall mountains outside the car window.

Because there are no mountains near their hometown.

When the car passed through the tunnel at the foot of the mountain, they were amazed at how powerful today's technology was, as even a mountain could be made into such a big hole.

After more than an hour, they both felt a little tired, leaned back in their seats, drowsy, and stopped talking.

It gets dark early in winter.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky gradually darkened and it was almost dark.

Cao Sheng’s parents have asked several times how long it will take to arrive.
When it was getting dark, Cao Sheng parked his car in front of the gate of the villa, got out and opened the gate. When he got back into the car, his parents looked at the villa whose gate he had just opened with their eyes wide open.

Cao's mother: "Ah Sheng! This is the house you bought? It's this big?"

Father Cao: "Is this a villa? Did you buy a villa?"

Cao Sheng chuckled and nodded.

He knew that his parents would be surprised when they saw this villa.

And now is just the beginning, because his villa does not look very big when viewed from outside the gate, but when the car drives inside, turns a corner and arrives in front of the villa, they will find out how big the yard is and how magnificent the front of the villa is.

Sure enough, when he drove the car directly to the large yard in front of the villa, his parents were already dumbfounded.

He got out of the car, opened the door for them, and helped them out of the car. They turned around and looked around, their expressions a little dazed.

Cao's mother: "Such a beautiful villa...how much does it cost?"

Cao's father was unusually silent.

But Cao Sheng noticed that his father seemed to relax, with relief and emotion in his eyes.

When Cao Sheng took them to visit the villa, the mother looked here and touched there, with the smile on her face growing wider and wider.

My father put his hands behind his waist and remained silent.

After touring the entire villa and sitting down on the sofa in the second-floor living room, Cao's father cleared his throat. After attracting the attention of his wife and son, he said, "Asheng, your mother and I can spend the New Year at your place this year, but we have to worship our ancestors! You have achieved what you have today because of the blessings of your ancestors! Although we cannot worship our ancestors in our hometown this year, we must also worship them here!"

Before Cao Sheng opened his mouth, his mother nodded in agreement.

Naturally, Cao Sheng would not object, as he knew that his parents always attached great importance to ancestor worship.

……

The parents are here.

Cao Sheng's life became a little busier.

I have to eat with my parents every day, and occasionally take time to take them out to the vegetable market, the old streets, Binjiang Road and other places.

A few days later, he accompanied his parents to the mall again, ostensibly to buy New Year's goods, but in fact, mainly to buy new clothes and shoes for his parents for the New Year.

Whenever he bought these things for them in the past, they would say he was spending money recklessly and advise him not to buy them in the future.

But this time, they took whatever he bought and never accused him of spending money recklessly again.

Cao Sheng also prepared a lot of New Year’s goods this year.

His parents are here and can't stay idle either.

Dad bought a bag of oil cakes from somewhere and fertilized the flowers and plants in the yard. Mom not only cleaned every room in the villa, but also prepared meals on time every day and called Cao Sheng to eat.

For this reason, Cao Sheng's diet became much more regular during this period.

In a blink of an eye, it is February 2, New Year's Eve.

The Spring Festival couplets have been posted on the villa, and a few big red lanterns have been hung as decoration.

A lot of firecrackers were set off during the ancestor worship ceremony.

While eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, the local dog brought from my hometown ran around under the table legs looking for bones.

Both Cao's father and mother were very happy. They ate and chatted, but they gradually discovered that their son's cell phone was a little busy today, ringing every now and then.

It was not until Cao Sheng turned his phone to silent mode that the family of three were finally able to enjoy their New Year's Eve dinner properly.

While eating, Cao Sheng asked, "Mom and Dad, what do you think of the conditions here? How about living here with me in the future?"

As he expected, his parents refused.

Father Cao shook his head, "Forget it! The house in my hometown has just been built, and your mother and I live very comfortably. Besides, we still have fields in our hometown, and we can't leave them uncultivated!"

Cao's mother also said, "Yes! Your father and I are definitely not used to living here. If you want us to come and live here, then you should get married earlier. When you have a child, your father and I can come and help you take care of the child."

Father Cao: "When the time comes, you can just come over to help take care of the child. You can't leave no one behind in your hometown."

Get married and have children?
Cao Sheng, who just turned 20 during the Chinese New Year, couldn't help but laugh.

Although he had thought about getting married and having children sooner after his rebirth, he didn't intend to do it this early.
