After the two put their luggage and came out, Yan Chen asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Xiang Jin turned sideways and looked at Lei Jia, "Leijia, what do you want to eat?"
Lei Jia said, "I can do it, it's up to you."
So Xiang Jin looked at Han Che again, "Han Che, what do you want to eat?"
Han Che spread his hands and said, "I don't care!"
Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen and said, "Yeah, asking is like not asking!"
Yan Chen suggested, "Why don't we go eat Cantonese food? It's not that far away and the taste is lighter."
Han Che immediately said, "Oh, yes, I agree! This time we can order their crispy roast goose, and after the meal we can also taste their desserts, such as coconut milk rock sugar bird's nest, papaya stewed snow clam,
There’s also the coconut milk sago and the ice-cold turtle paste.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, let's go eat Cantonese food."
A few people immediately went out. Xiang Jin brought two parasols, handed one to Lei Jia, and kept the other for himself. Because their neighborhood is not very far from the Cantonese restaurant, they only need to walk there, but let's walk.
, and they still had to bask in the sun for a while, so Xiang Jin and the others opened their umbrellas after going downstairs.
Xiang Jin handed the umbrella in his hand to Yan Chen, "There are only two umbrellas at home. You and Han Che can hold one, and Lei Jia and I can hold one together."
Lei Jia also nodded.
However, both Yan Chen and Han Che refused. Their reasons were that it was like two grown men holding an umbrella together. The scene was too weird, so the two boys walked away directly in front.
.
When Xiang Jin and Lei Jia saw it, they couldn't help laughing, and then they each held an umbrella and chased after them.
After catching up, Xiang Jin directly handed the umbrella in his hand to Yan Chen, saying that he wanted to support him, but in fact he was reluctant to let him bask in the sun.
Yan Chen laughed when he saw Xiang Jin's move, so he put the umbrella over their heads, and Xiang Jin directly took his arm and walked side by side with him.
When Han Che saw it, he couldn't help but yelled, "Damn, I'm sorry, I'm the only one basking in the sun now, right?"
Lei Jia looked at him, then at Xiang Jin and Han Che, who were holding arms and walking side by side. After hesitating for a while, she walked to Han Che's side and stretched out her arms to hold the umbrella.
She turned towards him and said, "Well, if you don't mind, we can hold an umbrella together. This umbrella is big enough anyway."
The strong sunlight above her head was suddenly blocked, and Han Che felt moved in his heart. "You don't mind, you don't mind, thank you?" After saying that, he took the parasol in her hand and held it up.
With.
Lei Jia smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome. That's right. I'm very grateful that you came to pick me up."
Han Che said, "The two of them have something going on, and as their mutual good friend, I have no shirking responsibility!"
Then Lei Jia asked, "Have you known Xiang Jin for a long time?"
Han Che nodded, "Ah, it's been four years, only a little bit later than Yan Chen, just over a month and two months.
Although I met Xiang Jin through Yan Chen, Xiang Jin and I became good friends not through him, but through ourselves.
Xiang Jin likes to make food, and I like to eat more. Later, she made delicious food and invited Yan Chen and his grandparents to their home for dinner. I was also at Yan Chen’s and his grandparents’ house at the time, so I went together.
We were all in the same bay, and gradually we became familiar with each other, and then gradually we became good friends."
Lei Jia nodded, "Well, Xiang Jin's craftsmanship is indeed very good, and she is also a very nice person. Our family lives in Shengshui Town. Our family used to open a noodle shop, but the business of the noodle shop was not very good.
, they are all open to the point of death. If our family hadn’t owned the shop, our family of three would have barely been able to survive.
Later, Xiang Jin came to our house for dinner twice when she was doing business in town. After seeing the business situation, she taught my mother and grandma how to make pickled cabbage, tofu, fish rice noodles, and several kinds of rice noodles.
Other pasta.
Later, our restaurant changed to making pickled cabbage, tofu, fish and rice noodles, and then it gradually improved, and then it gradually got better. The number of people who went to our restaurant to eat every day was always full. Later, my grandpa
Grandma and the others also went to our restaurant to help.
Not only that, but after Xiang Jin and I became roommates, I was able to improve my grades with her help, and then I was able to leave this year.
Although it is only a junior college in an ordinary university, I am already very satisfied because I have not repeated the studies. If I had repeated the studies, I still don’t know what the situation would be like. I might get admitted to an undergraduate college, or I might still be famous in the mountains.
Can't leave.
Therefore, I have always been very grateful to Xiang Jin for her help to our family and me. If it weren’t for her help, our restaurant would have been closed. I don’t know what my mother and grandma are doing now.
, I may not be able to use a mobile phone like many other people, right?
If it weren't for her help, I wouldn't be ranked among the best in the school. Do you know that in this college entrance examination, many of the questions were asked by Xiang Jin before, or she was the one who asked her every time.
Some of the test questions that were shown to me were similar to the ones above. Because I memorized the solutions to those questions, I was able to perform exceptionally well in the college entrance examination. Based on this year’s difficulty level, I might be as good as other people.
All blanks will be lost."
"Oh, you are still a grateful person and a very contented person," Han Che judged her.
Lei Jia said, "That's for sure. You can't be a person without conscience. My mother and my grandma have taught me since I was a child that I can't forget my roots. When others help you, you have to remember that helping you is a matter of affection and not helping you is a duty. No one
What you owe should belong to whom, and no one stipulates that who should help others. Why should you accept help from others with peace of mind?
My mother and grandma have also taught me since I was a child that a person should take on responsibilities according to his ability. Don't be too ambitious. Look at the mountains as high as the mountains. You should be down-to-earth and contented. If you don't have that ability, you have to be big-hearted.
The only one who will suffer as a result is yourself, which is called a mediocre person disturbing himself."
Han Che laughed and said, "It seems that your mentality is indeed very good. No wonder you can become friends with Xiang Jin."
"Hey, thanks for the compliment!"
But at this moment, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen, who were a long way ahead of them, suddenly turned their heads and stood there waiting for them.
"Oh, let's go?!" Han Che said to the two of them.
Xiang Jin said to the two of them, "We are waiting for you?!"
"Hey, let's go!" Han Che urged them again.
After they arrived at the Cantonese restaurant and ordered a few of their signature dishes together, Xiang Jin got up and went to the bathroom.
When she came back, a dessert was already on the table. Yan Chen said to her, "I ordered a coconut milk sago."
Xiang Jin sat down and took a sip, then turned to him and said, "Warm?!"
"Yeah, warm!"
Xiang Jin saw that Han Che ate something different from them, so he said, "Hey, why don't you eat the same thing as us?"
Han Che said, "You don't have iced ones anymore, only warm ones. I wanted to have some iced ones to cool down, so I asked for this alone."
"Oh, like this?!" Xiang Jin nodded.
Han Che scooped up a mouthful of Guiling paste and put it into his mouth, and then sighed with satisfaction on his face, "Ah, it feels so good! How about we pack up a few more when we leave later?"
Xiang Jin said, "Okay!" Then she turned to Lei Jia and asked, "Do you usually go out often?"
Lei Jia said, "Yes, as long as we don't have classes, we either sleep in the dormitory or go shopping. There are many fun places near our school. Next time you come to our place to play, I will take you there.
Take a look around, there are a lot of delicious food over there, the ones I brought to you today are only part of them, and there are others that I didn’t even have time to prepare."
Xiang Jin said, "Okay, I will definitely go to your place when I have time, but I definitely don't have time recently. Our daily courses are very full. Although I have one or two days of rest on weekends, I usually
I also have other arrangements, so I’ll go to your place. I’m most likely going to be on a long vacation like this.”
Lei Jia nodded, "Yeah, I know. If you are not free in the future, I will come here to find you. Anyway, I have more free time than you."
And it's very convenient for me to come here. If I add up all the driving time, it only takes two or three hours at most. I came here on Saturday and go back on the weekend.
I will wander around here more and learn more about it, and then I may be able to find a job here after I graduate."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay! Have you decided to develop here in the future?"
Lei Jia said, "I haven't decided yet, but I have this tendency. After all, we will have to find jobs by ourselves in the future, but there is no such thing as assigning jobs. I think there will always be more opportunities here than elsewhere."
Some, right?”
Xiang Jin nodded again, "You're right. There are definitely more opportunities in Shanghai than in Suzhou. It doesn't matter if you come here often to learn about some developments. If you decide to stay in this city for development, it won't be a problem.
Confused."
"What about you? Do you and Yan Chen have any plans? Should you choose Shanghai or BJ?" Lei Jia then asked Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen. The two of them had never seriously discussed this matter. At this moment, she didn't know what Yan Chen was thinking in his heart.
After Yan Chen received her gaze, he said, "I can do anything, but the most important thing now is studies."
Xiang Jin nodded towards Lei Jia, "Well, yes, what we think most about now is the mastery and understanding of professional knowledge and skills, but I think I should be able to do it, either in BJ or in Shanghai.
Okay, we’ll see what happens then!”
After Yan Chen heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
After hearing this, Lei Jia said, "Then it would be best if you are all in Shanghai. Then we can often make appointments to get together, have a meal, go somewhere to have fun, just think
I think that life would be very comfortable and beautiful.”
Xiang Jin laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe you will be busy making money to buy a house by then?"
Lei Jia said, "How can that be possible? As long as you ask me out, I will definitely come out. Even if I don't have time, I will still make time to accept your request even if I am squeezed?"
Xiang Jin took his bowl and touched hers, "Good sister!"
Lei Jia immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes, "It's you and me who are worried. How old are you? You have such a large contracted land. Will you be even busier by then? I guess I can handle it.
I only have very little time for appointments!”
Xiang Jin said, "I'm the same as you. I've made time to make an appointment with you? Also, I have to correct you. That contracted land is not just mine, there are several people who own the shares."
.”
Lei Jia said, "I know, you and Yan Chen, your aunt, Yan Chen, his grandparents, and your brother, the five of you together, but that's pretty awesome!"
Xiang Jin shook his head, "It's nothing. We were worried about doing this at first. After all, no food could be grown on that piece of sandy land before. We also read in the book that the sandy land
Watermelons and some drought-tolerant fruit trees can be planted, but it is only theoretical knowledge and has not been practiced. Later, we asked Grandpa Zeng and my aunt to go to northern Xinjiang for on-site inspection before we made the decision."
"But I didn't expect that you would still succeed, right?" Lei Jia followed.
"Yeah," Xiang Jin nodded.
Lei Jia said, "This shows that you still have to dare to try! Xiang Jin, I admire you!" As she said this, she gave Xiang Jin a thumbs up.
Xiang Jin immediately couldn't laugh or cry, "It's not mine alone. What's the use of just admiring me?"
Lei Jia said, "Of course, I also admire Yan Chen and some of your other shareholders. I admire your courage! It's me, but I might not dare! After all, it still costs a lot to contract such a large project together.
It’s money, and there are so many people’s wages. If I mess up, I will be burdened with a huge debt, which will probably make me breathless.”
Yan Chen looked at Han Che and gave him a look asking him to follow him out. Han Che saw that he looked like he would not be disobeyed, so when Yan Chen got up and walked out, he hurriedly got up and followed him out.
, and also found a more reasonable reason, "Let's go to the bathroom and you two can talk?"
Xiang Jin and the other two nodded slightly to him, and then Lei Jia said to Xiang Jin, "Hey, Xiang Jin, do you know that the guy named Wu Dan from Class 5 is in the same university as me, but we are in different schools?"
Department, he is in the Department of Physics, majoring in electrical engineering and automation. We met him last time when we were cooking in the cafeteria."
"Wu Dan? Is she a girl?" Xiang Jin looked confused.
Lei Jia said, "No, he's a boy! But yes, his grades in their class at that time were only above average, so it's normal that you don't know him."
Xiang Jin said, "I don't know much about the people in other classes."
The two people were chatting about some interesting things here, but Yan Chen was also talking about something after calling Han Che out. After he led him to a secluded place, he asked Han Che in a low voice.
, "Did you tell her classmate that Xiang Jin and I have an industry?"
Han Che said, "Well, I mentioned it, but didn't say much. When she comes, she will definitely come to your house. When she sees your house, she will definitely ask about it, so I told her
I knew that the house was bought by Xiang Jin, but I also took into account Xiang Jin's family situation, and in order to prevent her from having random thoughts, I also told her that Xiang Jin contracted a piece of sandy land with you.
Later I thought, oh, that’s not right. Xiang Jin bought that house, but you lived in it. In order to prevent her from thinking of you as a freeloader, I told her that you also bought it in BJ.
A suite.”
Yan Chen glared at him, and then Han Che said again, "But I didn't tell him how big the apartment you had in BJ was. Alas, don't glare at me. I was also protecting your dignity. You can't say that we are the same."
The old man is still eager to live in the woman’s house, right? I have to let her know that we also have property, which is comparable to her family background. No one is weaker than the other, and no one is dependent on the other, right?"
Yan Chen glanced at him wordlessly, "Childish!"
Han Che put his hands on his hips and stared at him, "You also call me naive, who am I doing this for? Isn't it for you?"
Yan Chen didn't want to see him pretending to be aggrieved, so he asked again, "Then let me ask you, did you tell her anything else?"
Han Che said, "How can you? I'm not stupid." After saying this, he came closer to Yan Chen and whispered to him, "I know that you have always been low-key, and I am also low-key. How can I be so embarrassed?"
Are you just going to reveal your belongings to others?
Don't worry, I just told her that you have a suite in Beijing, Xiang Jin has a suite in Shanghai, and that the two of you jointly contracted a piece of sandy land and are currently planting fruits and vegetables. I can't do anything else.
Didn't tell her.
However, you also need to tell Xiang Jin of your family that she won’t tell others in a panic when the time comes, so you won’t be able to blame me.”
Yan Chen said, "Ajin won't tell people this casually, but you are quite smart and thoughtful!"
Han Che said unconvincedly, "I'm always smart, but who of us kids who grew up in a large courtyard don't have a few petty ideas?"
Yan Chen glanced sideways at him again and snorted lightly, but he did not comment. After all, they all grew up with their grandparents. If they were simple-minded, they would not be able to get to that level. If they followed them since childhood, then
Naturally, there were many things that were touched by whispers and eyes, and they naturally learned a lot from it.
"Let's go, wash your hands, we're going to eat soon."
Han Che said, "Ahem, let's go, let's go!"
Following the two of them, they headed towards the bathroom one after another.
When the two returned to the private room, the dishes had indeed been served. After Yan Chen took his seat, he said to Xiang Jin, "Eat, why don't you eat?"
Xiang Jin said, "Waiting for you two, what have you two been doing for so long?"
Han Che answered first, "Yan Chen answered the phone and I fed them a handful of fish, and then I saw a crocodile in the iron basket in their back kitchen, which was at least one meter long."
Lei Jia was immediately surprised, "They also have a crocodile there?"
Han Che said "Ah", "I asked their staff here and they said that the crocodile was killed and provided to the guests to eat, but I guess that the guest was either rich or powerful or powerful.
Otherwise, how can ordinary people afford to eat crocodiles?"
Lei Jia nodded in agreement, "Well, that's right!"
Xiang Jin said, "Okay, let's eat quickly. I'm already hungry." After saying that, Xiang Jin took the lead in picking up the crispy roast goose and started eating it. The others followed suit. Got up.
After eating, Han Che packed up and took away several boxes of Guiling paste, and Yan Chen went to pay for them.
After paying the money, everyone came out together, and then Han Che waved to them, "Everyone, I'm going back first, bye?"
Xiang Jin and the others nodded, and Han Che turned back after taking two steps, and then raised a few boxes of Guiling Cream in his hand, "Oh, by the way, do you want to take some of this back too?" eat?"
Xiang Jin and Lei Jia both waved their hands at the same time, saying no, and then Han Che looked at Yan Chen again, "Do you want it?"
Yan Chen said, "Take it back and eat it yourself."
Han Che nodded, "Okay, then I'll eat it myself. Well, do you plan to have dinner at home or out? If you want to eat at home, I will bring you the ingredients?"
Xiang Jin said, "I don't want to cook tonight."
Han Che nodded with some disappointment, "That's okay."
Yan Chen said, "I'll call you then!"
"Okay!"
After Xiang Jin and the others returned home, Xiang Jin directly led Lei Jia to the guest room to make the bed, and at the same time turned on the air conditioner.
After a while, Xiang Jin clapped his hands and said to Lei Jia as if everything was done, "Okay, you can rest. I'll go back to the room and take a nap."
"Oh, good!"
Xiang Jin took two steps and then paused again, "Oh, by the way, the pajamas and toiletries I prepared for you are in the cabinet. You can take them yourself. I have cleaned those pajamas for you. Just feel free to wear it."
"Oh, okay! Xiang Jin, you are so kind, so considerate!" After saying that, Lei Jia gave Xiang Jin another big hug.
Xiang Jin patted her arm, "It's okay, it should be okay, you have a good rest, I have to go back and wash my face for a while."
"Well, okay!" Lei Jia let go of Xiang Jin's arm and nodded heavily.
Xiang Jin then told her, "Oh, by the way, I live in the room next to yours, and Yan Chen lives in the room opposite me. Let me tell you, if you have If anything happens, you know where to find me, or you can just call me when the time comes."
Lei Jia nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Xiang Jin left Lei Jia's room and saw that Yan Chen's door had been closed, so she went to the bathroom to wash up, and then returned to her room. She had just laid down on Yan Chen's bed. The text message was sent.
"I made a cup of ginger syrup for you on the table. I guess the temperature has dropped by now, so go drink it."
The corners of Xiang Jin's lips curled up, "Copy that!"
She opened the door, took the cup of ginger brown sugar water back to her room, put it on the bedside table, and then sent another message to Yan Chen, "Thank you, Mr. Yan!"
"How can I thank you?!"
"No, are you really that serious?"
"You're just kidding, have a good rest!"
"Well, good!"
"Oh, by the way, Han Che said that he only told your classmate that you have an apartment in Shanghai, and I have an apartment in bj. Our bj apartment didn't tell her how big the area was, and we jointly contracted a piece of sandy land. "Everything else, including what other industries we have, has not been mentioned. You should also be careful when chatting with her and don't give her everything," Yan Chen then explained.
Xiang Jin said, "Oh, okay, I didn't tell her that."
"Well, be good! Okay, you can rest, I'll read a book for a while."
"good!"
After Xiang Jin deleted the chat messages she had just had with Yan Chen, she drank the cup of ginger-brown sugar water he made for her, and then lay down to start her lunch break today.
But not even two minutes after she closed her eyes, she opened them again. It suddenly occurred to her that she had one more thing to do, so she quickly sat up from the bed, then took her cell phone and dialed.
go out.
The phone kept ringing for a while before someone picked it up, "Hello? Xiaojin?"
"Yes, aunt, I'm Xiaojin, are you disturbing your rest now?"
Her aunt said, "No, we just had lunch not long ago, and now everyone is chatting and watching TV. How are you doing recently? Did you go out to play during the National Day?"
Xiang Jin said, "Not yet. I have been busy in the past few days. Lei Jia came over today and we plan to go out to play together tomorrow."
"Oh, then you have to pay attention to safety!"
"Well, we know, aunt, how are you doing lately? Grandma Mo, Grandpa Zeng, and grandpa and grandma plus you, are your health okay?"
Her aunt Ouyang Xue said, "Well, everything is fine. Don't worry. Recently we have planted some new greenhouse vegetables for winter supply. The seedlings haven't emerged yet, so it's a lot easier than before."
.”
"Oh, that's good. Did Uncle Tao call you today?" Xiang Jin then started talking about business.
Her aunt said, "I'm calling, I'm calling, they said there are home decoration products on sale in the provincial capital recently, and they asked us if we want to order some materials. Your grandparents also said they want to call you and ask.
, I didn’t expect you to call first.”
Xiang Jin said, "You can go and find out. If there are suitable ones, you can book them in advance, especially those with wooden floors and some household appliances and furniture. Then they can follow Uncle Tao and book with them."
"Oh, okay, I'll tell them later. I heard from Grandma Mo and the others that Xiao Chen went to Shanghai. Have you met?"
"Well, we met. We have been together almost every day these days. We looked at houses, went to shops, and then went to the furniture market to buy furniture and shopping malls to buy home appliances. My brother's house was rented out, and yesterday
I hung it out for him, and today the furniture and home appliances are coming in, so his house can be occupied at any time now."
"Did you buy another house?" her aunt asked.
Xiang Jin said, "It wasn't me who bought it, it was Yan Chen. Wasn't it the house where Uncle Zheng Gang and the others lived before? Yan Chen felt that it was too far away from our shop. If the shop opened by then, it would not be very convenient to go back and forth.
, so I planned to find a place for them to live a little closer. No, I just looked at a house the day before yesterday, and then I decided on it."
"How big is it?"
"More than 180 square meters, a set of four, it's near that shop. Han Che introduced it. They almost bought it there before, but because there was no shop suitable for them nearby, they went elsewhere.
.”
"Oh, like this?!"
"ah!"
"Then to what extent is your shop decorated now?"
Xiang Jin said, "It will be almost ready in about half a month."
"Oh, it's still faster?"
"Um!"
"You have fresh greenhouse vegetables at the beginning of winter, can you sell them?"
Xiang Jin said, "Yes, there are already very mature greenhouse vegetable cultivations here, and there are many greenhouse vegetable cultivations in the suburbs. Some vegetables that are not available here are transported here by train or plane.
"
Her aunt said, "I know that many of our King Oyster Mushrooms, Coprinus comatus, and small mushrooms are sold to Shanghai and BJ. At the beginning of winter this time, we reduced the planting of other vegetables.
The cultivation of several kinds of mushrooms has been expanded. Your grandpa Zeng said that greenhouse vegetable cultivation is now practiced in various places. When there are too many products, it will be easy to stagnate and the price will not be high. However, many people still do not know the essentials of growing these mushrooms.
, so we are currently the only one with a relatively large scale of cultivation here.”
"How are our winter watermelons growing now?" Xiang Jin asked.
Her aunt said, "The first batch has already bloomed and bear fruit, and the next batch will probably bloom and bear fruit in about ten days, no more than half a month at the latest. The strawberries are also blooming and bearing fruit."
Well, your Grandpa Zeng said that he will plant more strawberries in the next two days, just in time to go on sale during the Spring Festival. By then, all these will be sold to big cities and even our provincial capital."
Xiang Jin said, "Have you already got customers in touch with you? How about we open another melon and fruit store in Beijing and Shanghai, which will be dedicated to selling watermelons and strawberries?"
Her aunt said, "Oh, it's okay. Anyway, your dad has already negotiated with the Ministry of Transport. The fruits and vegetables in our urban area have relatively good discounts on the freight to other places.
We can still make a little more money sometimes.”
"Oh, that's great. I'll discuss it with Yan Chen then. It doesn't take many people to open a fruit and vegetable store, just two or three people. Moreover, this is also a good market for our fruits and vegetables.
It’s a guarantee. If the buyer doesn’t agree with us in the future, we still have our own way to go. By then we will have a foothold here and we can open up sales. We don’t have to let others lead us.”
Her aunt was very excited and said over there, "Well, yes, yes, my daughter, your idea is very good. The external sales team organized by your father and the municipal government has an external liaison office over there. You can go there
You can always come to them if you need anything."
"Okay, let's discuss it later and we'll give you a call then."
"Okay," her aunt agreed, and then asked, "Do you have anything else to do? If nothing happens, I'll hang up."
"Well, hang up!"
After Xiang Jin ended the call with her aunt, she thought for a while, then put her phone back on the bedside table, lay back on the bed again, pulled the sheet aside to cover herself, and then slowly fell asleep.
