"Song Ying, this was bought by Tuxi in Shanghai. He specifically said that this one was bought for you."
Huang Ling opened a jewelry box, exposed the gold necklace inside, and handed it to Song Ying.
When Song Ying heard this, everyone was stunned.
"Give it to me?"
"Yes, this is the price surge. This child bought a lot of gold jewelry and bought it for me and Xiaoting. This one was specially bought for you."
Song Ying looked surprised: "Tuci bought you gold jewelry, and still remember me?"
Huang Ling smiled and nodded: "Although this child, Tuxi, doesn't express much in her daily life, she knows very well who treats him well. Whoever treats him well will give him double the rewards. From childhood to adulthood, Song Ying, you have always treated him very well.
OK, he remembers it all in his heart.”
Song Ying felt very warm, but she refused and said, "Tuxi remembers me in her heart, and I am already very happy. As for this gift, let it go, Sister Ling, listen to me, you know that Wu Feng brought it with him a few days ago.
I went to buy a lot of gold jewelry, and I was embarrassed to wear it, so I brought a necklace, and the rest were kept at home."
"So, I'm very grateful to Tusi, but forget about this gold necklace, Sister Ling, please keep it."
"How can that work? Tutsi said it to you."
Of course Huang Ling was not happy. The two of them pushed me and gave in. They were stalemate for a long time, but in the end, Song Ying still didn't accept it. Huang Ling was so tired that she could only put it away for the time being.
"Tuxi is becoming more and more capable now. I heard from Dongzhe that his books have been sold abroad, and now they are earning foreign exchange."
"I also heard Tusi mention it. Tunan and Xiaoting both said that his books seem to be very popular abroad, but we don't know the specific ones and didn't ask much."
Huang Ling is still very proud. After all, she is her own son. The more capable she is, the more she looks bright on her mother. She is also a normal person, and of course she has vanity.
Looking at the entire three textile lanes and even the entire cotton spinning mill, no child's achievements can be compared with her son, so how can he not be proud?
Not to mention her, even if Zhuang Chaoying, who has been divorced, has suffered a certain impact on her divorce, but her promising son has added a halo to him and is also proud of his youth at school, which offsets the depression in his heart.
Song Ying sighed: "It's still Tutsi's future. He has been abroad. I heard him tell you about the situation in America, which is indeed more developed than ours."
Huang Ling said: "But he also said that there is much more chaos over there than here. If we Chinese go there, we will be rejected, so it is better to be in China."
"That's true. Anyway, I don't want our Dongzhe to go abroad. If we go there, we won't know if we can come back once a year."
"I think so too. Fortunately, Tutsi doesn't mean to go abroad. It's better to be Shanghai. It's so close to Suzhou. I'll come back in two or three hours by car. Even if we miss children, we can still take the bus to see them by ourselves.
We can’t find it even if we want to find it.”
"By the way, Sister Ling, Tunan and Tuxi are not young anymore. Have they ever beat friends in school?"
Song Ying asked quietly with curiosity. Huang Ling pursed her lips and smiled: "I really don't know this. I haven't heard them say it yet. It probably hasn't."
"Sister Ling, let me tell you, there are many people in the factory asking me about this, but I have been told to him without hesitation. Just kidding, Tunan and Tuxike are both famous college students, and graduated from graduates as graduates.
They all think beautifully."
Huang Ling smiled and didn't say anything. In fact, she had the same thoughts in her heart. It was not that she looked down on others, but that her two children were so outstanding. It would be easy to stay in Shanghai in the future. Ordinary children from cotton mills really
Not worthy.

The days when prices rise have no impact on Zhou Chen, but it has a great impact on ordinary people, and Zhuang Tunan is one of them.
Usually, he relies on his own subsidies and some money given by his family, and he can still have some surplus every month, but during this period, the prices have risen very quickly, so his money is not enough. He knows that Zhou Chen has money.
But he had a strong sense of self-esteem and did not have the nerve to borrow money from Zhou Chen. He was also embarrassed to ask his parents for money, so he could only save money by himself.
Xiang Pengfei, his cousin, was still worried about him, and asked Lin Dongzhe to bring him 300 yuan, and also told him about Xiang Pengfei's car stocking and doing business.
After hearing this, Zhuang Tunan thought in his mind, thinking that he could not always rely on his family. His younger brother started making money at such a young age. As his eldest brother, he has been using the family’s money for more than 20 years.
So when he had more than a week on the summer vacation, he went home early and discussed with Xiang Pengfei about doing business.
Xiang Pengfei was a brave man who wanted to do things. When he heard Zhuang Tunan's idea, he immediately agreed. He regarded the three brothers and sisters of the Zhuangjia as their closest relatives, so he didn't think about anything else at all, just thought about it.
Everyone can make money together.
After the two agreed, they also brought Lin Dongzhe over. The three of them began to discuss business. The three of them paid their own money. Zhuang Tunan suggested that Lin Dongzhe said that their two aunts and uncles were doing business in the south, and they had a way to do it.
Let's go there to discuss first.
After the three of them had initially discussed, Xiang Pengfei suddenly asked hesitantly: "Brother Tunan, Dongzhe, do we want to tell Tuxie about this? After all, it's our brothers together."
Zhuang Tunan showed hesitation, and Lin Dongzhe said: "I don't think there is any need for this. Who is Tuxico? Our business is just a small fuss for him, and he doesn't like it at all."
In his mind, Zhou Chen is a great writer and literati, and he earns all cultural money, and it is also a lot of money. They don’t know how much money they can make in this business, so there is really no need to call Zhou Chen together.
Xiang Pengfei said: "Whether Tuxico is going to join us or not, but at least we have to notify him."
Zhuang Tunan nodded and said, "What Pengfei said is that this is done by our brothers and others. Whether Tuxi does it or not, it is still necessary to tell him. I will call him later.
.”
Zhou Chen received the call and learned about this from Zhuang Tunan, and was not surprised. However, when he heard him ask if he wanted to join him, he thought about it and refused. He just said, "If you lack capital, you can call him."
He can borrow a little on the phone, so he doesn’t have to pay dividends or make efforts.
So during the summer vacation, Zhuang Tunan and the other two started doing business. They were so busy that they didn’t even have time to go back home, and Zhou Chen did not go home this summer vacation.
Because Wu Shanshan did not let Wu Shanshan go home during the Chinese New Year, Wu Shanshan was extremely disappointed with her parents, so she was unwilling to go home during the summer vacation, so she stayed in Shanghai to continue her tutoring job.
Zhou Chen thought that it would be fine if he went home, so he stayed to accompany Wu Shanshan.
After more than a month of searching, Zhou Chen finally found a suitable old villa. It was on Xuhui and the other party was willing to sell it. There was only a small problem. This old villa had two rooms.
It was sold to another household, and the property rights were a bit controversial.
So the problem now is that if Zhou Chen wants to buy them all, he has to convince another household and then unify the property rights.
But the other household was willing to sell, but it was a bit like a lion, asking for a price that was far twice the market, so it didn't negotiate for more than half a month.
In fact, Zhou Chen is not short of money and is willing to spend money, but it doesn't mean he is willing to give money to others stupidly. It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive, but it's really a three-fold price. He really thinks he's stupid. He would rather not buy it than spend it.
Money is in vain.
In the end, Zhou Chen did change his target and went to find another famous villa area, Jing'an Villa, which is also a famous villa area with decades of history and a very good geographical location.
There are more than 100 villas in this villa area. Most of the residents who can live here are not simple. Even in this era, it is difficult for ordinary people to afford the houses here.
However, there are many Chinese people who are looking forward to living abroad in this era, so after Zhou Chen asked here, he quickly confirmed that the one was for sale, but the price was slightly higher and it cost cash.
This was exactly what Zhou Chen thought. He went to see the house. Although it had a long history, it was preserved very well and the area was large enough. So Zhou Chen found the owner and started to discuss in detail.
In this era, even in Shanghai, the house price is only over 2,000 yuan per square meter. This house is a bit expensive, and Zhou Chen did not deliberately lower the price. After meeting his psychological expectations, the other party wanted to settle abroad, and the two sides hit it off.
, and the transaction was made directly.
Fortunately, the property rights and other documents of the other party’s house are very complete and complete, and there is some connection, so the resale and transfer process is quite smooth.
The one Zhou Chen bought is not a single-family villa, but a townhouse, but also has its own yard, with three floors in total, and the space is still very large. There is also an open-air garden upstairs, except that it is not
Zhou Chen is quite satisfied with the single-family house except for the older house.
…………
Half a month later!
Zhou Chen rode a motorcycle and carried Wu Shanshan to the Jing'an villa area, and then stopped in front of a door.
Wu Shanshan followed Zhou Chen from the motorcycle and asked with a strange look: "Tuxi, why did you bring me here? The houses here are all old-fashioned red brick walls, which are really beautiful."
This place is naturally not very good in Zhou Chen's eyes, but in Wu Shanshan's eyes, it feels very luxurious. After all, the house she lived in before was just a small courtyard in a crowded alley. Compared to this place, it feels very sensory.
Still a lot worse.
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and took out the key from his pocket.
"Take you to see your home."
As he said that, he opened the door and signaled Wu Shanshan to go in, and then pushed the motorcycle into the yard himself.
Wu Shanshan followed Zhou Chen into the courtyard stupidly and looked at the three-story villa in front of her.
"What did you just say? Home, what does it mean?"
Zhou Chen said: "It means literally. I bought this house and will be our home in the future."
Wu Shanshan exclaimed, then covered her mouth with disbelief: "Did you buy it?"
“Yes, I just bought it not long ago.”
Looking at Zhou Chen's sure look, although Wu Shanshan felt it was incredible, she still accepted this reality. She felt that Zhou Chen would not make such a big joke with her.
"You just said, our home?"
Zhou Chen reached out and held her hand, and said softly: "Yes, it's our home. We will live here after graduation."
It is about ten kilometers away from Fudan, which is not very far, but the transportation is not developed now, so it is really not convenient to go back and forth, and it is too wasteful to waste time.
Wu Shanshan's eyes suddenly turned red. The words "Our home" really made her break the defense. She had to squeeze in a room with Zhang Min and Wu Jun in her own home. Now she saw such a luxurious one in front of her.
In the three-story villa, Zhou Chen actually said that we had her, which was more touching than all the love words in the world.
Of course, she not only wants to fall in love with Zhou Chen, but also wants to be with Zhou Chen forever, so the saying "our home" is really a great reassurance for her.
At this moment, she completely returned to Zhou Chen. No matter what happens in the future, as long as Zhou Chen wants her, she will follow Zhou Chen.
"Let's go in and take a look. I just bought it here. The layout inside is still the same as before. Let's take a look. If you feel dissatisfied, you will redecorate it again. You can decorate it as you want.
”
Wu Shanshan was pulled into the house by Zhou Chen like a puppet, and then looked at it from the first floor. She kept seeing the third floor, and her mind was confused.
She has been with Zhou Chen for more than two years and has gained insight, but even so, it is considered an old-fashioned decoration in Zhou Chen's eyes, but in her eyes, she feels very luxurious.
After turning around, she didn't say a few words, and she listened to Zhou Chen saying, for example, the bed needs to be replaced, the bathroom needs to be rebuilt, the wall needs to be repainted, and the floor needs to be some problems...
Anyway, after hearing from Zhou Chen, it seems that there are problems everywhere, as if everything is to be pushed back and started over.
"When I get the place back in, we will move in. I know you don't want people to know that we are already together, so I won't tell anyone about buying this house, just the two of us know."
Wu Shanshan finally came to her senses and suddenly asked when she heard Zhou Chen's words.
"This house must be very expensive, right?"
"It's okay. Within my tolerance, it's mainly because of the good location and a large place. I also took some effort to find this property, but it's still worth it. Do you like it?"
"Of course I like it, I like it so much."
Wu Shanshan gave an answer without hesitation. How could she not like such a good house? She was crazy about it, but she still retained her rationality.
"But I graduated next year and I don't know if I can be assigned to Shanghai. I heard that the school will basically return to the registered residence. What if I am assigned to Suzhou? No, if I am really assigned to Suzhou, I will do.
Even if I don’t go back, I just stayed in Shanghai to find a job myself.”
Zhou Chen comforted: "You don't have to worry about this. I am familiar with the school leaders and college leaders. I will definitely let you stay in Shanghai."
Settling in Shanghai is indeed difficult for ordinary people, but for him, it is much simpler. Just for this house, it is very easy to get a household registration.
Wu Shanshan was happy. She was about to graduate next year. What she was most worried about was to return to her registered residence. She knew that Zhou Chen would stay in Shanghai, so she didn't want to go back to Suzhou at all. She just wanted to stay in Shanghai and stay with Zhou Chen's side.
But she was just a little bit light and couldn't make decisions. Now that Zhou Chen said this, she felt much more relieved.
After so long, she gradually regained her calmness, and then began to watch the house again, from the first floor to the third floor, and carefully looked at it, but she was not satisfied.
Thinking of living here with Zhou Chen in the future, she really fainted happily.
…………
Before the summer vacation was over, Zhuang Tunan, Lin Dongzhe and others returned to Shanghai together, and Xiang Pengfei was also with them.
Xiang Pengfei came with him specifically, which was Zhou Chen's intention, and he wanted to discuss buying a car for him and driving a transportation company. This was what he promised Xiang Pengfei last year.
Xiang Pengfei followed Qian Jin's team to learn for a year, and just took advantage of their business to get some capital to implement this matter.
Before we went far, we were in a restaurant next to the school. Zhou Chen and the other four brothers and sisters, together with Lin Dongzhe, sat together for dinner.
