Chapter 164 Visiting a Distant Cousin
After the fitter broke through LV3, he obtained the fishing card, which allowed Chen Jianye to get the savings of Jia Zhang and the agreement signed by the Jia family and the security department.
The benefits are enormous.
I will not use the relative card I got this time for the sake of face.
It's all in vain.
Chen Jianye absolutely cannot do this.
Whether it is useful or not is something we can talk about later, at least make ourselves familiar to the public.
The relative card directly gave Chen Jianye a memory.
When he was ten years old, Chen Tuntian took him to visit his cousin Mei Yubo.
Chen Tuntian and Mei Yubo are relatives within three generations, and are real relatives.
When it comes to Chen Jianye, it is the fourth generation.
It's the kind of relationship that's a bit like a relative, but not very close.
Following the road he remembered, twenty minutes later, Chen Jianye arrived in front of a small building.
The small building has two floors.
The appearance was the same as Chen Jianye remembered.
dong dong!
Chen Jianye knocked on the door.
"Who?"
A woman in the room shouted.
"It's me, Auntie, Chen Jianye."
"Chen Jianye? Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
The woman's voice in the house was very alert.
"I am Chen Tuntian's son. I am here to see my cousin, Comrade Mei Yubo. Is he home?"
Chen Jianye explained.
"Oh, Lao Mei, your cousin is here to see you."
The woman shouted in the hall, then walked to the door and opened it for Chen Jianye.
"Hello, aunt."
Chen Jianye stood at the door, with a kind attitude and a smile on his face.
"Wow, you've grown so big in the blink of an eye."
"When was the last time you came to my house? It's been a while."
"Lao Mei was just talking about you guys. Speak of the devil and he will appear."
The middle-aged woman looked Chen Jianye up and down and sighed.
"Aunt, this is a little gift from me."
Chen Jianye took the cloth bag from his hand and handed it over.
He thought to himself that Mei Yubo had probably also had his memory filled by the system and remembered his cousin.
I really made the right decision this time.
If he didn't come to visit, Mei Yubo might put his distant cousin aside after a while.
"Kid, just come if you want to. Why bring anything with you?"
"Your uncle doesn't need this little thing from you."
The middle-aged woman chuckled and said something disdainful, but the smile on her face betrayed her thoughts.
As the old saying goes.
People do not blame.
why.
Anyone who has given a gift knows that will the person receiving the gift complain if there are too many gifts?
Another thing is that when gifts are delivered to someone’s door, the person receiving the gift will feel honored.
I feel more comfortable too.
"These are just some worthless things from my own heart."
Chen Jianye smiled.
"Come in quickly, don't stand outside."
The middle-aged woman invited eagerly.
Only then did Chen Jianye step into the house.
"Jianye is here."
"I was just telling your Aunt Wang that our two families haven't visited each other for a long time."
"Alas, our generation is getting old, and our children have started their own families and careers. We should move around more."
Mei Yubo came down the stairs, talking with a smile.
Chen Jianye's eyes fell on Mei Yubo.
This distant cousin is about 1.7 meters tall and has an ordinary build, like an ordinary passerby on the street.
He doesn't look like the director of the Public Security Bureau of a certain jurisdiction at all.
"Hello, uncle."
Chen Jianye bowed his head slightly and greeted him.
"Not bad, not bad, he's very handsome."
"Where's your father? Why didn't he come with you?"
Mei Yubo patted Chen Jianye's arm and praised him with satisfaction.
"My father passed away because of a factory accident."
"My mother missed my father so much that she passed away a few days later."
Chen Jianye spoke in a low voice.
"what?"
"Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me?"
"Hey."
Mei Yubo sighed heavily, feeling very uncomfortable.
When he was young, he was busy with work and didn't care much about family affection.
In the blink of an eye, his children grew up and each had their own family and career. Mei Yubo had much more free time, but he didn't have any grandchildren.
There were only him and his wife in the room, and he suddenly felt empty.
At his age, he has no chance to move up, so he wants to pick up the lost family affection.
Unexpectedly, when my cousin's son came to visit, he brought bad news as soon as he opened his mouth.
"When did it happen?"
Mei Yubo’s daughter-in-law Aunt Wang asked.
"It's been almost two months. I just recovered recently and wanted to visit my elders in Sijiu City."
Chen Jianye looked sincere.
"Hey, how did you spend this time?"
"You kid, such a big thing happened at home, and you didn't tell us, can you handle it by yourself?"
Aunt Wang said dissatisfiedly.
"It's all good now. I took my father's job and joined the steel mill. I passed the assessment to become a regular employee."
"I just passed the test for level 4 worker yesterday, but I haven't been graded yet."
Chen Jianye forced a smile.
Briefly summarize your achievements.
It was also to make his attitude clear to Mei Yubo that this trip was purely to establish a relationship as a relative, not to ask him to do anything for him.
"Oh, you have reached the level of a fourth-level worker?"
Mei Yubo was very surprised.
"Yes, the job I'm doing now is a fourth-level fitter position."
"The team leader and the fitters all said that I learn quickly and well."
Chen Jianye affirmed.
"Not bad, not bad. You are more promising than your father."
"Sit down, wife, make some tea."
Mei Yubo was very pleased. He held Chen Jianye's hand and sat at the tea table.
While Aunt Wang was making tea, she said, "Lao Mei, those two cloth bags were brought by Jianye."
"Why are you still carrying things?"
"What do I need from you?"
Mei Yubo immediately expressed dissatisfaction.
"It's a token of my appreciation."
"When my mother passed away, she specifically told me to visit the elders in the city and not to come empty-handed."
Chen Jianye said.
"Your mother had good intentions, but it's a pity that you didn't get to enjoy the blessing."
Mei Yubo sighed.
Aunt Wang made a pot of hot tea and placed it on the table.
Chen Jianye took it and poured tea for Mei Yubo and himself.
"You have made a breakthrough in your work now, what about your personal matters? Have you made any progress?"
"Do you want your Aunt Wang to introduce you to someone?"
Mei Yubo asked with concern.
"I met a nice girl, I don't know if it will work out."
"If it doesn't work, I'll come to Aunt Wang for help."
Chen Jianye said a little embarrassedly.
"Well, personal matters must be taken to heart and treated with caution."
"If you're not sure, you can bring it here for me and your Aunt Wang to take a look."
Mei Yubo said seriously.
"Hey, Jianye, why did you bring so many eggs and steamed buns?"
"Take it back and keep it for yourself."
After checking the contents of the cloth bag, Aunt Wang said in surprise, "The buns are still hot. You must have just steamed them today."
"Yes, I steamed it at noon."
"It tastes good. Aunt Wang and Uncle will definitely like it."
Chen Jianye nodded.
"You are a caring child."
Mei Yubo nodded slightly and asked again: "You live alone in a compound now. No one bullies you, right?"
"If anyone dares to bully you, just tell your uncle. He does have the ability to do this."
Aunt Wang shouted loudly.
"No one bullies me. Everyone is very nice."
"It was a small matter, and I took care of it myself."
Chen Jianye said with a smile.
He knew that he and Mei Yubo were not actually very related.
Mei Yubo's enthusiasm this time was entirely due to the relationship of the previous generation. After all, he was the only one left in the Chen family.
Out of pity or care, Mei Yubo would help him once or twice.
But after too many times, no one will help others unconditionally.
He might not use his precious opportunity on the people in Siheyuan.
What a waste.
