The next morning, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen helped Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng collect the vegetables as usual before leaving. When leaving, Grandma Mo asked Xiang Jin to bring some vegetables back to her grandparents.
Xiang Jin hesitated for a moment and then said, "Forget it, you can buy it at the vegetable market over there, and Yan Fei said he would bring us some lotus roots today."
Grandma Mo asked her what kind of vegetables she bought in Shengshui Town. Xiang Jin said they were similar to those in Fuyun Town. Grandma Mo pulled her and smiled and said, "That's it. They sell all the vegetables over there."
Common vegetables in season, you can bring some different vegetables,
For example, you can bring some of those bell peppers, purple eggplants, and bitter gourds. This pork rib soup and stir-frying are both good for cooling down the heat, and those mushrooms. Just wait, I'll pick some for you.
Come."
Xiang Jin glanced at Yan Chen, and Yan Chen nodded to her, "You can bring some!"
Then the two of them followed Grandma Mo directly, and followed Xiang Jin and said, "Grandma Mo, let's go pick mushrooms, but don't pick too many vegetables for us, otherwise we won't be able to pick them up later. Yan
Fei also asked us to go to their house to get lotus roots."
"Okay, got it!"
In the end, Xiang Jin and the others picked about a pound of mushrooms, and Grandma Mo picked a few large crimson bell peppers, a few long purple eggplants, two or three bitter melons, and a small bag of large green peppers for them.
Grandma Mo asked them, "Do you want to pick some more tomatoes?"
Xiang Jin shook his head, "No need, you can buy that over there."
Grandpa Zeng found two plastic bags for them, but Grandma Mo denied it, "Use which one, because that one is not strong and easy to break. Then you let their vegetables fall all over the floor. Go,
Bring back that snake cloth bag."
So Grandpa Zeng went to look for a bag again.
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were walking on the road, and then they saw Yang Juyun sitting in her yard washing clothes from a distance, so a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said to Yan Chen, "Oh,
You go to the intersection ahead and wait for me, I have something to do."
When Yan Chen saw her expression, he knew it was not a good thing, so he asked her, "What's the matter?"
Xiang Jin said, "Of course I want to remind my good adoptive mother to stop doing stupid things." Then she turned Yan Chen around and pushed him forward, "Oh, go quickly, go quickly! I
Will you be back later?"
Looking at the excited expression on her face, Yan Chen immediately knew that this girl was not really careless about Yang Juyun, so he reminded her, "Hurry up, don't wait too long, the sun will come out later."
That’s big.”
Xiang Jin waved to him, "I know, I know, don't worry, I won't delay for too long, I will meet you soon!" As she said that, she strode towards Yang Juyun's yard.
At first, Yang Juyun didn't notice her arrival. It was their two dogs, Ahua and Hucai who noticed her first.
The two dogs were very happy after seeing her, wagging their tails and running towards her, then they circled around coquettishly, or rubbed against her legs and feet. Xiang Jin suddenly
She has a deeper relationship with people than she can with two dogs, which is really ironic.
Because the two dogs ran happily by, Yang Juyun saw Xiang Jin walking into the courtyard. Her eyes were cold and her tone was extremely unwelcoming, "What are you doing here?"
A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Xiang Jin's lips, and he was not too polite to her, "What a joke, this house cost me more than half of my money to build it. Why, I don't live here anymore, so you think this
Is the house really completely yours?"
Yang Juyun threw the clothes in her hands into the basin and stared at her with a cold look, "What on earth do you want to do here?"
Xiang Jin stood about three meters away from her, looking at her so intently. Yang Juyun had changed so much. It had been so long since they had seen her, but why did she give her the feeling of a deep-seated and resentful woman?
It feels like, looking at this sarcastic look on his face, how can he still be as friendly and kind as before?
Xiang Jin quickly came to his senses, and then said bluntly to her, "Of course I have something to do here, otherwise you think I'm here to chat with you?"
Seeing that she was still glaring at him fiercely, Xiang Jin frowned directly.
"You are really interesting. It's obvious that you are targeting me at every turn and you don't like me. I tolerate you at every turn, but in the end, you act like you are the one who suffers. What do you mean? Is it interesting?
"
Yang Juyun pursed her lips tightly and still stared at her angrily.
Xiang Jin didn't want to argue with her. She didn't want to see her, and she never wanted to see her. "I came here just to tell you that I will move my household registration, but not now. If you go again
Do you think I will be tolerant and polite to you if you do those stupid and unnecessary tricks to harm my interests?"
"Who told you these things? Is it your Grandma Mo and they are paying it back to you, Aunt Liao?" Yang Juyun finally spoke up.
The sarcasm on Xiang Jin's lips became even more intense, "Why do I need them to tell me? You said that no one in the whole Bay Head brigade knows about this stupid thing you did? Couldn't someone else tell me?"
As the saying goes, if you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. As soon as Yan Chen and I got out of the car, we met a few familiar people from the Bay. If it weren't for the friendship between my grandparents and Xiang Lan, there were
That Accountant Song knew some legal knowledge did not cause any substantial damage to my interests as you expected. I wanted to smash your store at that time.
Let me remind you one last time, there is a limit to people's patience. You have long since worn away my little feelings for you. Now you are on the verge of being angry and leaving. I can't always look at my grandparents without limit.
Xianglan's love will always be tolerated by you.
Don’t forget who is the real owner of this house? Who opened your braised meat and vegetable restaurant that makes a lot of money every day, and the hundreds of thousands in bank deposits in your card, if it weren’t for me,
How can you have such a good life today? Maybe you are still there, facing the loess and turning your back to the sky every day.
If you dare to be a monster and target me again, I will take back all these things that originally belonged to me, leaving you with nothing!
Also, don’t you always hate that I’m not your biological child? Well, then I’ll throw back your biological daughter Ouyang Weiwei, that sick child, so that you can take good care of and educate her!”
"You?!" Yang Juyun was immediately frightened and stared at Xiang Jin with only anger.
Xiang Jin said, "Don't doubt whether I can do it, I can definitely do it! I don't have any other advantages as a person, but I only have a little persistence. As long as it is something I want to do, I must do it. And
You should be very clear and understand this, right?
So, remember, this is the last time, this is the last time I will tolerate you. From now on, we will be on the same page. Don’t mess with me. Naturally, I won’t do anything to you. If you dare to suddenly get hot-headed again,
, if you think of doing something stupid at any time, don’t blame me for ruining my grandpa and grandma’s face!”
After saying that, Xiang Jin glanced at her contemptuously, then turned around and walked out of the courtyard. When the two dogs saw her, they hurriedly chased after her, wagging their tails.
Xiang Jin gently patted their dogs' heads, "Okay, let's stop here. I have to go back to school and I don't have time to play with you. I will accompany you when I am free in the future!"
The two dogs stopped as if they understood human words, then stared at her and whimpered coquettishly, as if telling her, "You must come and play with us in the future?"
Xiang Jin said, "Okay, definitely!" Then she patted their dogs' heads again, and then strode away. Finally, when she reached the road and looked back, she found that they were still looking at her, and she raised her head
He waved his hand towards them, and then the two dogs turned back.
"Do you feel more comfortable?!" Yan Chen said as he saw her walking towards him with a smile on her face. After she approached, he said.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, I feel more comfortable!"
The two of them walked forward together, and Yan Chen asked, "How did you remind her?"
Xiang Jin said, "Of course, just remind her what she's afraid of. I said, if she dares to behave like a monster again, I will take back all the things that originally belonged to me, and then take Ouyang Wei's
Wei throw it back to her and let her take care of it by herself!"
Yan Chen laughed, "Then her face must be ugly!"
Xiang Jin waved his hand, "Oh, who cares about her! Who asked her to trouble me and make me unhappy? Anyway, I have already broken my skin, so what do I care about?!"
Yan Chen glanced at her silently and then said seriously, "Xiang Jin, do you blame your biological parents for continuing to adopt Ouyang Weiwei?"
Xiang Jin was startled, then shook his head, "No blame, there's nothing to blame. In fact, I can understand what they did... Well, how should I put it? In fact, they had no choice but to do it.
After all, she was the daughter they had watched and raised since she was a child. They spent a lot of time, money and energy on her. Even if there was no blood relationship, they still
That kind of feeling cannot be faked.
She made it clear in front of so many people that day that she did not want to go back to her biological mother, and even resorted to self-harm to stay in the city and at Ouyang's house.
And after her own mother heard what she said, Baxi had no choice but to have her as her daughter, and she also made it clear to the outside world.
If they really don't care about her again, then how can she survive as a little girl who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, can't lift her shoulders, and has been suffering from that strange disease for a long time? They can't really let her go.
Is she living on the streets and fending for herself?
This is not only a question of the good and evil of human nature, but also their current status does not allow them to do such a thing.
If their family is just an ordinary people's family with slightly better conditions, and the two children are adopted and raised by the wrong people, they can just swap them after they figure it out. No matter whether Ouyang Weiwei wants it or not, they will directly send her back to her
It's just the birth mother's side, so others won't have anything to say.
But the problem is that both of them are not ordinary people, they are both respectable people. According to their current status, even though they no longer have deep feelings for Ouyang Weiwei, they even have some grudges against her.
However, they cannot do whatever they want. After all, they are figures in the public eye and are subject to the attention and supervision of the outside world and other departments at all times.
My dad is almost an official with one parent. Since ancient times, officials have to love the people. But if they can't tolerate and care for even an adopted daughter, what kind of reputation will the people and the outside world have?
Then what may follow may be verbal criticism and deliberate slander and instigation from well-intentioned people. Maybe a very small thing can be used to infinitely amplify it, amplify it, and amplify it again. So what can others do?
Do you believe that he will love the people of a city?
At that time, how will others spread rumors about them and attack them? And do they want to continue to hold their current job positions? So they always have to take into account their image and the impact on society."
Another thing she didn't say is that Ouyang Weiwei is a paranoid psychopath. She has lived with them for so many years and has heard about them since she was a child. She must know a lot about their lives and work.
Yes, what if she gets mad and speaks out some misleading words from the outside world and some well-intentioned people to discredit them and slander them?
They also had to put taboos on her. Even if they secretly disliked seeing their adopted daughter, they still had to pretend to be as loving as before. So there are always a lot of helplessness and compromises in life.
.
Yan Chen didn't say anything, and continued to Xiang Jin, "Actually, this is not a good thing for me. For example, I don't have to change my surname and use the surname I have always heard. I don't have to change my household registration.
My household registration is wherever I am.
When I reach the age of eighteen, I can go to the police station to open an account on my own, and then I can do what I want to do in my own name.
Let me tell you, I have always adhered to the saying that others don’t have it, I have to have it myself. When I make enough money in the future, I will buy a house all over the country, and then
By then I will have my own house to live in wherever I go.”
"How many cities and places are there across the country? If you buy so many houses, can you live there?" Yan Chen suddenly asked.
Xiang Jin was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Then I will buy a set in some major cities. If I really can't live in it, I will put them there and let them increase in value until their price rises to
At a certain level, I'll sell them all and make a fortune."
Yan Chen said, "You are speculating on real estate!"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, as for real estate speculation, real estate speculation is also a kind of capital operation. It is the same as stock trading or depositing money in a bank.
You see, the purpose of stock trading and depositing money in the bank is to increase the value of the funds in your hands, and the purpose of real estate speculation is also to increase the value of your assets.
It’s just that the former is a virtual market economy, while the latter is a real market economy. Both economies have one thing in common, that is, money is rolling in money and interest is rolling in, economic benefits are being maximized, and asset appreciation is increasing! Alas, forget it
Come on, forget it, if you don’t talk about this anymore, it will be in vain!”
"How come it's all in vain?" Yan Chen asked.
Xiang Jin said, "I said it can't be implemented immediately, so we have to wait more than two years before we can put it into action."
Yan Chen said, "I can take action next year."
Xiang Jin said, "Then you can buy a few more units, oh no, buy dozens or hundreds of units. It is best to buy a house in one of the first-tier cities in China. This kind of value-added space can only
Big, and fast.”
Yan Chen looked at her with a strange look on his face, "Oh, this pig, his main purpose in saying that was to remind her that she can invest in real estate speculation with him next year," but it was obvious that she didn't understand what she meant.
Alas, that’s all, let’s go into the water next year and try it out first!
Xiang Jin and the others had never been to Yan Fei's house, so they asked all the way after arriving at Sunjiawan. As they were walking, Xiang Jin suddenly turned to Yan Chen and said, "Oh, we are really stupid and bold.
Ha? Look, we foolishly came to them without knowing anything about their situation. What do you think if a mad dog from one of their houses suddenly ran out and bared its teeth at us?
"
Yan Chen nodded, "Indeed!"
Xiang Jin looked solemn and solemn and said, "So in the future we have to be more cautious and not be so reckless anymore, or we have to bring two very strong sticks, otherwise it will really happen if we are
It’s no joke that the mad dog bit me!”
Yan Chen said, "Yeah!"
"Yan Fei didn't tell us before that his family originally lived in the mountains. They just walked down to Zaoer Cliff. It was so convenient, but in the end, we had to climb up again.
The slope is detoured and winding again
I have gone through so many twists and turns, and I have no sincerity at all." Xiang Jin and Yan Chen alternately carried the vegetable bag, and she moved it forward for a while and couldn't help but pick it up.
Then Yan Fei came.
Yan Chen laughed, walked over quickly and picked up the vegetable bag, "I'll carry it later!"
Xiang Jin walked beside him and said, "No, I will definitely criticize him when I see him later!"
After saying that Cao Cao was about to arrive, the two of them walked forward for about ten meters, turned a small corner, and then saw Yan Fei standing not far in front, looking in their direction.
, then ran towards them with a bang, Xiang Jin directly pulled the bag out of Yan Chen's hand, and then said to Yan Fei, "You can help us carry it for the rest of the journey!
"
Yan Fei looked at the snake cloth bag in front of him, then looked at them and said, "What's in it? Is it for our family?"
Xiang Jin said, "You have a good idea. These are the vegetables we brought to school." After saying this, she immediately put her hands on her hips and looked like she was taunting others. "Well, Yan Fei, ask us to come to you."
Home, but you didn't tell us the specific location of your home, and you took over and caused us to go down a lot of wrong roads. You see, it made both of us hot.
Just say that your family lives in the mountains. Can't you just go down the road from Zaoer Cliff directly? We will go directly to Zaoer Cliff first, and then go back a little bit from Zaoer Cliff.
Won’t we be at your house soon?”
Yan Fei quickly apologized, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you yesterday."
Xiang Jin said, "No matter what, you have to carry the rest of the journey to your home for us. We need to take a rest."
Yan Fei nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay, I'll carry it, I'll carry it," and then he directly picked up the snake cloth bag, and then said, "Actually, our home is not far from here.
, just a dozen or twenty meters away, right there, that house with a few patterned tiles on the front is our home."
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen looked in the direction of his finger, and they saw a small two-story building. It looked like it had only been built a few years ago, so Xiang Jin said, "Is your house okay?"
!”
Yan Fei smiled modestly, "Oh, it's just average. It's not as good as your family, not as good as your family, and of course it's not as good as your brothers' family." He said the last words while looking at Yan Chen.
Xiang Jin rolled his eyes to the sky speechlessly, and then asked, "Are your parents and grandparents at home?"
Yan Fei said, "My parents are not at home, but my grandparents are at home. My parents and my grandparents picked lotus roots and lotus pods in the morning. After they came back, they went directly to help my grandparents break corn. At this time, at home
My grandparents are the only ones at home."
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen nodded, and while they were talking, they arrived at Yan Fei's house. His grandparents were standing by the courtyard dam, cleaning lotus roots.
"Grandpa, grandma, my classmates are here. This is Yan Chen and this is Xiang Jin. They are all my best friends in school!" As soon as they arrived in the yard, Yan Fei introduced them to his grandma.
.
Both of them nodded kindly towards Xiang Jin and Yan Chen, and then the two old men invited them to come inside and sit down.
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen also politely called them grandpa and grandma, and then Xiang Jin waved his hands and said, "Thank you, grandpa and grandma, but no, we have to go back to school and will leave soon!"
The two nodded in understanding. Yan Fei ran into the house and took out several plastic bags. One of the plastic bags contained a bag of cleanly washed lotus roots, and the other plastic bag contained a bag of clean lotus roots.
It's a bag of lotus pods.
"Xiang Jin, this is for you!"
Xiang Jin looked at the two big bags and was immediately surprised, "So many?"
Yan Fei said, "It's okay. There are old lotus roots and young lotus roots inside. The old lotus roots can be used to make soup, and the young lotus roots can be fried or made into lotus root dumplings. Don't you like to eat the lotus root dumplings the most?"
Just right!"
After saying that, he ran into the house and brought out two more bags. However, the weight in the two bags he brought out was not very large, maybe only half of what Xiang Jin and the others had.
"My second uncle has a small family. If I don't go to their house, they will only have a family of three, so they won't be able to eat much!"
Xiang Jin nodded, and then Yan Fei greeted her grandparents, "Grandpa, grandma, let's go!"
After thanking the two old people, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen also waved goodbye to the two old people.
Following them, he went to pick up the things. Yan Chen directly picked up the snake cloth bag and the bag of lotus roots and said to Xiang Jin, "Take the lotus pods!"
"Oh," Xiang Jin mentioned the lotus bag, then stretched out a hand to hold the snake cloth bag containing vegetables with him.
A few people stopped and walked and finally arrived at Zaoerya. After arriving at Zaoerya, they waited there for a while before the car arrived. After they arrived in the town, Yan Fei took him directly to his second place.
I threw my uncle's two bags to them and asked them to take care of them for a while, then they quickly ran to put in his "goods"!
Seeing his running figure, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were speechless. Then, while moving the bags to a cool and empty place next to them, they couldn't help complaining, "This guy, he's still here today."
Don’t forget to do his business!”
Yan Chen laughed, "He only gets one chance a month, so he has to seize it!"
Xiang Jin said, "What do you mean by this? You can't save the money you make, so why don't you just spend it on surfing the Internet, renting novels and buying novels?"
Yan Chen said, "If you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?"
Xiang Jin was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes!" Anyway, she didn't understand what fun it was to chat with people online and read novels!
