    Chapter 79 Getting Rich "First Update"

    If you want to hide, just hide. Shengchuan just thinks that Sheng's father doesn't want to see him. After all, the two of them got into a fight last time and fought like black-eyed chickens. They say they are father and son, but more like enemies.

    He put his coat on the back of the chair, looked around, and finally asked the question he had been wanting to ask: "Why did our family build a new house?"

    Sheng's mother said: "It turns out that the house was in a shabby state and always leaked when it rained. Later, you sent money home and saved a lot in the past few years, so you built a new house. Come, Mom will take you to see it."

    Shengchuan thought to himself that he had only sent money home once, and it was only 5,000. How could he build a house? He was about to ask, but Sheng's mother pulled him to a room on the second floor.

    Sheng's mother said: "This is your room. Your father made it specifically to keep an eye on people. He bought this bookshelf, desk, and computer while riding a bicycle. They are all equipped with air conditioners and TVs. Take a look.Do you like it or not?"

    Shengchuan's previous room was small and dilapidated, and it was difficult to turn around. Normally, he had to lie down on the dining table to write, but this room has bright windows and is no worse than those in the city. You can tell that there are always people there.Cleaned, very clean and not dusty.

    Shengchuan automatically ignored the sentence "Your dad specializes in watching people do it." He roughly estimated the cost of the new house plus decoration, and finally came to the conclusion that it was definitely not something his family could afford: "You can spend the money to build a house."Where did it come from?"

    Sheng's mother was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you send it home?"

    Shengchuan frowned slightly: "I only sent money home once, how can I build a house?"

    Sheng's mother didn't understand either: "Your father is in charge of the money. He said that you were doing business with others and sent money home every month, even to people of all ages."

    Shengchuan was about to speak, but heard Sheng's mother say: "Okay, okay, you can ask your dad about these things later. I don't understand the calculation. You must be hungry when you get back in the car. Mom will cook you some food."

    After speaking, he was about to go downstairs, but Shengchuan grabbed his arm: "Mom, I ate on the train, and I'm not hungry now."

    Sheng's mother asked, "Are you really not hungry?"

    Shengchuan nodded: "I'm really not hungry."

    Sheng's mother had no choice but to give up the idea: "Then you should hurry up and take a shower and go to bed. You must be tired from the car ride... Hey, why didn't you bring a suitcase when you came back?"

    Shengchuan made up a random reason: "I accidentally fell off the station."

    Sheng's mother was shocked when she heard this: "Why did you lose it? You didn't look for it?" Shengchuan knew that she was distressed about the things: "There are only some clothes in it, nothing valuable, so just throw it away."

    Sheng's mother finally felt a little relieved: "Then you go into the room and take a shower first. Mom will find you some old clothes. I haven't lost any of your previous clothes. You should still be able to wear them."

    After Sheng's mother went downstairs, the room became quiet. Only then did Shengchuan look at the room carefully, and finally sat down at the computer desk by the window. He touched the edge of the slightly cool corner of the desk and was lost in thought.

    If I could describe Shengchuan's past in one sentence, it would be that he had nothing at his most vain age. He worked hard to study, not because he liked it, but because he wanted to change his destiny, but his family was so poor that he didn't even have a decent table.There is no way to go down.

    But it's already in the past, and there's no point in worrying about it anymore.

    Shengchuan was tired for a day, Wu Xia thought of other things, and went to bed after taking a bath. However, his mind was like a devil, and he couldn't stop thinking. What he thought about the most was depression.

    The nights in the countryside are not so quiet. In addition to the chirping of insects, there are also the barking of wolves and dogs, which sound faintly and far away, spreading far and wide.

    Shengchuan opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, thinking that he had deceived Shen Yu again. The other party would be very angry when he found out that he had run away. The young master had the biggest temper, but this was the last time. He didn't want to lie to him again in the future..

    Shengchuan thought again, Shen Yu probably wouldn't come looking for him. There's nothing to look for in a liar. He's not from the same world to begin with. Now bridges will return to bridges, and roads will return to their destinations.

    I thought a lot about all kinds of things, and finally fell asleep without knowing it.

    In the middle of the night, Father Sheng finally came back from outside, with an old-fashioned navy blue cloth coat draped over his shoulders. He knocked the nanmu pipe in his hand against the threshold and shook off a pile of ashes.

    Sheng's mother heard the familiar footsteps, put on her clothes and got out of bed. When she saw it was him, she frowned and said, "Where are you running in the middle of the night? It's so dark. What if you fall?"

    Father Sheng took a puff of cigarette and said, "I'm going to Lao Yu's house to play cards for a while. It's getting late, so go to bed."

    After saying that, he entered the room.

    Sheng's mother glanced at him: "My son came back and I didn't even see you and asked you a few words, even just a glance. There is no hatred between father and son. Why, you still want to avoid him for the rest of your life?!"

    Father Sheng thought to himself that this was not an overnight feud, but a feud every year. He felt that she was nagging him, so he frowned and said impatiently: "Why should I avoid him? He is also avoiding me if I want to hide. You bitch, you will know this every day."Talking nonsense." After saying that, he said in a rough voice: "Sleep, sleep!"

    Although he said that, early the next morning, when Shengchuan got up and went downstairs, Sheng Jianghe disappeared again. Sheng's mother put the porridge on the table. She seemed to be unable to think of any excuses at the moment, and put her hands on her apron.He wiped it twice and said, "Your dad went to the orchard on the mountain early in the morning to spray medicine on the trees. He may not be back until a while."

    Shengchuan was wearing old clothes. The fabric had faded slightly, but it had a clean and rustic feel. He was holding a bowl and preparing to eat, but he paused after hearing this: "What orchard?"

    Sheng's mother said: "Your father has recently started a small business. He has reserved a place on the mountain to plant orange trees and sell them to fruit merchants. He has been busy picking fruits recently."

    Shengchuan only felt that after being away from home for a few years, too many changes seemed to have happened that he didn't know about. The most important thing was money, building a house and doing business. However, Sheng's mother didn't know anything and couldn't find out anything when asked.

    After breakfast, a small truck suddenly drove to the door of Sheng's house. The driver jumped out of the car and knocked on the iron gate outside: "Uncle Jiang He! Uncle Jiang He!"

    Sheng's mother came out of the house and took a look: "Your Uncle Jiang He went to the mountain and isn't here. What's going on?"

    The driver said: "I'm going to the city to deliver goods. The payment to Uncle Jiang He has not yet been settled. Auntie, please come and collect it. I don't have time to go to the mountains. There is a truckload of goods waiting."

    Sheng's mother was in trouble: "I don't understand those confusing things. You go ahead and talk to your Uncle Jiang He when you come back."

    Shengchuan happened to come out. He was the most sensitive about money. Hearing this, he asked, "What's the charge?"

    Sheng's mother said: "The last payment has not been settled yet. Your father used to be in charge. You know how to count, so go over and help with the calculations."

    Sheng's mother had a headache and couldn't count these things. Shengchuan looked at the goods in the back of the car, asked about the weight and price, and settled the payment with the driver. There was a thick stack of red tickets, which looked like more than 20,000 yuan., it seems that selling oranges is quite profitable.

    Shengchuan handed the money to Sheng's mother to keep, then moved a bench and sat at the door to bask in the sun. He was in a state of relaxation. Although it was embarrassing to have his identity exposed, at least he didn't have to lie every day and worry about being exposed all the time., my heart felt like a huge boulder had been lifted off.

    Sheng's mother put the money into the corner of the cupboard and saw him like this when she came out. She hesitated for a while and then said: "Kuanzi, why don't you come back to help in the orchard? Your father said before that when he gets old, the business and savings will be gone."The coffin is all in your hands."

    Ever since she came back yesterday, she has been helping Sheng's father to say nice things intentionally or unintentionally. How could Shengchuan not hear it? She pretended not to understand and stood up with a broom to help sweep the courtyard: "Let's talk about it later."

    In fact, I really want to sell oranges.

    For a period of time after that, Shengchuan and Sheng Jianghe seemed to be deliberately avoiding each other. Sheng Jianghe went out early in the morning and had lunch in the orchard. He didn't come back until Shengchuan went to bed at midnight. They were under the same roof and didn't even meet each other once.Touched.

    That night, Sheng Jianghe came back in the middle of the night again. He was carrying a delicate shopping bag that didn't match his dark and rough hands. He didn't say a word after he came back, and just sat by the bed and smoked a cigarette., then handed the bag to Sheng’s mother and said with drooped eyelids, “You can send it to him later.”

    Sheng's mother glanced at it: "What?"

    She opened the bag and took a look, only to see some brand new men's clothes inside, with the tags not removed: "For Kawako?"

    Sheng Jianghe smoked his pipe and said, "Yeah."

    He went to the mall to buy it when he drove into the city today. He couldn't figure out whether it was a famous brand or not. After listening to the salesperson's recommendation, he estimated Shengchuan's size and bought several sets. He spent nearly 7,000 yuan and it didn't quite fit.He has a habit of buttoning and searching.

    As soon as Sheng's mother touched the fabric, she knew it was definitely not cheap: "You old guy, why are you willing to spend so much money this time?"

    Sheng Jianghe had a bad temper and was stubborn. After hearing this, he banged his pipe vigorously and said, "No matter what, we didn't have the conditions before, but now we have the conditions. Do we have to let the baby wear old clothes every day?!"

    Sheng's mother did not argue with him, took out the clothes from the bag, and quietly went upstairs. Seeing that Shengchuan was already asleep, she quietly put them next to his pillow, then turned around and left, gently closing the door..

    Building houses in rural areas is not very particular, and the upstairs and downstairs are even less soundproof. You can hear every quarrel.

    In the darkness, Shengchuan quietly opened his eyes, turned on his mobile phone and looked at the pile of clothes beside him. The hangtags on them were still new. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he quietly turned off the light.

    Early the next morning, Sheng's mother was taking care of the family's big yellow dog that had just given birth. She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Shengchuan coming down from upstairs. She was wearing yesterday's new clothes, elegant and beautiful, and she couldn't help but smile: "Hey,Do the clothes fit you?"

    Shengchuan had no clothes to wear anyway: "It fits well."

    Sheng's mother looked at it and thought it was beautiful: "You kid, why are you wearing it now? Take off the other items first. Mom will wash you and give them water before talking."

    Shengchuan nodded. He didn't seem to sleep well yesterday. He still looked a little sleepy. He sat on a chair and woke up for a while. Then he turned on his phone and looked at it. He found that the recent news headlines were all about the Shen family.

    After Shen Run was arrested, the previous car accident case was brought up again. Whether it was a paid murder or the murder of his own father, it was extremely controversial. Online discussions were heated, and everyone lamented that the wealthy family has many grievances.

    Some people heard that the eldest son of the Shen family ran away on the way to the police station. As a result, he was robbed by a gangster. He broke one of his legs and was penniless. He finally turned himself in.

    Some people also heard that Shen Yu, the previously crazy Second Young Master Shen, had returned to normal. After Shen Run was arrested, he took over the Shen family again, with vigorous and resolute methods, quite similar to the demeanor of Mr. Shen back then.

    Others have heard...

    Anyway, there are all these rumors, and Shengchuan didn't know what was going on. He read them all like a maniac, his thoughts flying far away, until he heard Sheng's mother's cry in his ears, and then he came back to his senses: "Mom, what's wrong?Already?"

    Sheng's mother likes small animals. The big yellow dog at home gave birth to two puppies. They are chubby and cute: "Kawako, you have read a book and come up with a cultured name. What should you call this one?"

    Shengchuan: "Get rich."

    Sheng's mother was stunned for a moment: "What about this one?"

    Shengchuan: "Suddenly rich."

    "..."

    Sheng's mother didn't say anything. She thought that her son looked so gentle and elegant, why did he choose such a village name? She wiped the handle without saying a word and turned to take care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

    The sun gradually set, and it was evening. It was rare that Shengchuan did not go upstairs to sleep today, so he sat at the door and waited, waving away the flies flying around his hand, his face quiet and gentle.

    Sheng's mother thought that he was probably waiting for Sheng Jianghe, so she didn't urge him to go to bed. Just as she was about to go into the kitchen to wash her hands, a skinny boy suddenly came to the door with a flashlight and knocked on the door: "Auntie, auntie! Come and go and seeLook, Uncle Jiang He accidentally dropped his leg when he was going down the mountain!"
