Chapter 289 End of the Year 1981 (2)
The wind outside was whistling in the northwest. Although Chen Meng’er had been practicing martial arts with Elder Liu, Chen Meng’er was afraid of the cold in this life. It was unknown whether it was because of Chen Meng’er’s physical condition or something else. Every year, when winter came, she would stay at home with the cats in the animal hospital who had to hibernate.
And Elder Liu saw that his precious granddaughter was so afraid of the cold. But he spent a lot of effort to specially hire people to make thick cotton-padded jackets for Chen Meng’er, and also to prepare thick cashmere overcoats for Chen Meng’er. All these years, every year, when winter came, Elder Liu racked his brains to prepare things for Chen Meng’er.
Not only Elder Liu, but Chen Ping and Liu Juan also racked their brains for Chen Meng’er’s body that was afraid of the cold.
It was getting closer and closer to the New Year, and the day was getting colder and colder. Chen Meng’er was also getting lazier and lazier. Just like that. Early in the morning, Liu Juan spent a lot of effort to dig Chen Meng’er out of the bed.
As soon as Chen Meng’er sat up, Liu Juan put on warm clothes for Chen Meng’er. However, even after putting on thick clothes, Chen Meng’er still felt cold. It was so cold that she couldn’t help but shiver.
“When are the school holidays?” Chen Meng’er asked after drinking the warm porridge and letting out a comfortable sigh.
“After the exams are over in two days, it will be the holidays.” Chen Haoguo looked at his little sister’s pitiful expression that was afraid of the cold and felt his heart ache.
“Oh, that’s good.” When Chen Meng’er thought about the upcoming holidays, her mood was much better. She could finally lie in bed and not get up.
Finally, the winter vacation arrived in Chen Meng’er’s expectations. And as the new year approached day by day, Chen Meng’er’s heart also became restless. Last year, Elder Liu installed a phone for Chen Meng’er’s house because he was getting old and missed his granddaughter on a daily basis. He couldn’t even hear her voice.
On the first day after the exam, Chen Meng’er hurriedly called Elder Liu. “Grandpa, ask Uncle Da Peng to pick me up tomorrow.”
“Did you finish the exam?” Elder Liu didn’t expect his precious granddaughter to call him.
“Yes, I finished the exam yesterday. Grandpa, don’t forget to ask Uncle Da Peng to pick me up tomorrow.” Chen Meng’er repeated worriedly.
“Meng’er, why are you in such a hurry? What happened? Tell Grandpa.” Elder Liu thought Chen Meng’er was being bullied or that something had happened. When Elder Liu was with his granddaughter, his IQ tended to drop. How could he forget that with his granddaughter’s intelligence and her fighting ability, she was not so easy to bully.
“No, nothing happened. I have something to deal with. Grandpa, I will tell you when I arrive tomorrow.” Chen Meng’er’s family did not know about Chen Meng’er’s stock trading, no, it should be said that Chen Meng’er’s family did not know what stocks were and what stock trading was.
“Okay, then I’ll get Da Peng to come and pick you up.” Elder Liu was very welcoming to his granddaughter’s arrival.
Elder Liu had been tempted several times to ask Chen Meng’er to transfer to a primary school in the city. But he was rejected by Chen Meng’er. Chen Meng’er said that she would only transfer the school to the city when her elder brothers went to high school.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Meng’er’s restless heart calmed down a little.
“Meng’er, are you going to your grandfather’s place tomorrow?” Chen Ping was a little surprised when he heard his daughter talking to Elder Liu on the phone.
“Yes, I have something to talk to grandpa about.” Chen Meng’er nodded and said.
“When will you be back?” Chen Ping spoiled his daughter to no end. This was also because his daughter was so obedient that people couldn’t help but want to dote on her.
“About a week.” Chen Meng’er thought for a moment and replied. She was really not sure. If this matter was handled smoothly, she would probably be back in two days. However, if the matter was not handled well, it would take some time.
“Alright, you must come back during the New Year, understand?” Chen Ping said.
“En, I understand,” Chen Meng’er replied. She knew that this was her father’s minimum requirement. The next morning, under Elder Liu’s urging, Da Peng drove early and arrived at Chen Meng’er’s house. When da Peng arrived, Chen Meng’er had just gotten up not long ago. When Chen Meng’er saw da Peng, she was quite surprised. “Uncle Da Peng, you’re here so early.”
“Not early,” Da Peng thought. How could it not be early? The members of the Green Gang were all urging him to come and pick up the Little Miss. If he was any slower, he would probably be read to death by everyone. Recently, because Chen Meng’er had to take an exam, he did not come over. As such, the members of the Green Gang were already looking forward to it.
“Then Uncle Da Peng, Wait for me. We’ll set off in a while.” Chen Meng’er sped up the chewing in her mouth.
“It’s alright, Little Miss. Don’t be anxious. Eat slowly.” Da Peng didn’t dare to rush Chen Meng’er.
Chen Meng’er’s actions were quite fast. It didn’t take long for her breakfast, which wasn’t considered breakfast, to be over. “Uncle Da Peng, let’s go.” Chen Meng’er was also anxious. She felt that this matter couldn’t be explained clearly over the phone. She had to discuss this matter with her grandfather, Elder Liu, in person. Was it better to talk about this matter remotely, or directly go to Japan to control it on the spot?
Chen Meng’er was holding onto this conflicting mood. She got into Da Peng’s car and staggered to S city. Elder Liu had been waiting for Chen Meng’er at home for a very long time. As soon as he heard the sound of the car outside, he did not care about Zhuge Yu reporting the matter to him. He motioned for Zhuge Yu to stop for a moment. Zhuge Yu also knew why his boss did this. He followed behind his boss and walked out together.
He hadn’t seen his Little Miss for such a long time. He really missed his Little Miss.
“The Little Miss is here?” Fatty and Skinny, who heard the sound of the car, also came out of nowhere.
“It should be.” Zhuge Yu replied.
Elder Liu they walked to the door. The car had just stopped at the pharmacy door.
“Grandpa,” Chen Meng’er opened the car door. The cold air outside made Chen Meng’er shrink her neck. Then, when she saw Elder Liu, her little face buried under the fluffy hat, with a big smile. “Zhuge Uncle, Uncle Fatty, Uncle Skinny.” Chen Menger called people one by one.
“You little girl, I really don’t know what kind of physique you have. You’re wearing so much, yet you’re still so afraid of the cold. I really have to hand it to you.” Elder Liu looked at Chen Meng’er, whose face was often taut, and immediately smiled.
