Three weeks passed unknowingly. On this day, Xiang Jin was reading and studying in the dormitory. Lin Zi suddenly rushed in from outside and said to her happily, "Xiang Jin, Xiang Jin, let's
The holiday notice for the school’s winter vacation has been issued.”
Xiang Jin put down the pen in his hand and asked, "How many numbers to what numbers?"
Lin Zi said, "January 17th to February 20th, thirty-five days, isn't it long enough? This is the first time we have had such a long winter vacation since we were studying. It turns out that we still have more time to study in college.
What a benefit!”
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "Indeed!"
Then Lin Zi said, "Do you want to buy train tickets? I will go with you to buy them? Many people hurried to buy train tickets after learning about the accurate holiday time."
Xiang Jin said, "I don't have to buy it. I bought it two weeks ago."
"Did you buy it? When did you buy it? Why didn't I know and didn't listen to you?" Lin Zi was surprised.
Xiang Jin nodded and said, "Well, I bought it last week. Han Che went to buy it and ordered it at the ticket outlet in the city. He booked tickets for the four of us. Then we will catch the train home together.
.”
"Four people? Which four of you? Oh, and your classmate who is studying at Suzhou University?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, yes, Lei Jia, me, my boyfriend, and Han Che, the four of us, were afraid that sleepers would not be available at that time, so he went to book them last week
Already."
I have to say that this is an advantage at this time. For example, when booking train tickets during the Spring Festival, the pre-sale period can be two months in advance, which is 60 days, and when buying train tickets, you don’t need to show your ID card and go through the real-name system.
As long as you need it, just use the money to buy it. However, this also has a drawback, that is, there are many scalpers selling high-priced tickets during the Spring Festival travel period every year.
"Are you buying a soft sleeper or a hard sleeper?"
"The soft sleeper and the hard sleeper are not comfortable, and there are more people and are more complicated, which is not good."
"Well, indeed, the soft sleeper one is more comfortable. Then you can have four of you in a box."
Xiang Jin said, "It's hard to say. The four of us were next to each other when we bought the tickets. I just don't know if we will be in the same box."
Lin Zi said, "If not, you can switch with others for a while and see. It would be better to stay with someone you are familiar with."
"Well! We can only see it when the time comes."
"Then what number are your tickets?"
Xiang Jin said, "I'm leaving one day later than you. There's a train at 3:30 pm on the 21st. I can take you to the airport then."
"Well, yes! Xiang Jin, you are the best to me!" She said and gave Xiang Jin a big hug.
"Oh, okay, okay, let go, let go, I'm really not used to you acting coquettishly on me like this, be normal, be normal."
Lin Zi chuckled, said "Oh", then quickly let go, and then asked Xiang Jin, "When will your classmates in Suzhou have their vacation? When will they come to Shanghai to meet you?"
Xiang Jin said, "Their school closes earlier than our school. Two days earlier, their school started the holiday on the 15th, but she can't come over right away. She won't rush from Suzhou to Shanghai until the 21st.
, and then we’ll meet up at the train station, and then we’ll catch the train back to our hometown directly.”
Lin Zi suddenly looked at her with an ambiguous expression and said, "Is it because she was afraid of affecting your relationship with your boyfriend, so she chose to meet you directly on the 21st?"
Xiang Jin naturally couldn't admit it, "Where is it? She originally booked a train ticket for that day to come to Shanghai. When she went to book it, the earliest one was only for the 21st."
"No, their tickets are sold out so fast?" Lin Zi looked surprised.
Xiang Jin asked, "How far is it from Suzhou to Shanghai? Even if there are countless people traveling between the two places every day, not to mention it is during the Spring Festival travel period, mainly because she is on holiday and she still has things to do there.
I have to stay for two days, so I can only choose the 21st."
"Oh, this is what it looks like?!"
"Hmm! Well, your parents will pick you up in your provincial capital then, right?" Xiang Jin asked her again immediately.
Lin Zi nodded, "Well, they will pick me up in the provincial capital then, and then we will catch the bus back to our home together the next day."
Xiang Jin sighed, "Oh, it's almost over. I can go home after taking the exam in ten or twenty days."
"Well, that's right! Well, after you get off the train, do you have to catch the bus separately?"
Xiang Jin said, "The train goes directly to our city. After getting off the train, we only need to catch a bus or take a taxi and go home directly. It takes about half an hour."
"Oh, then your place is quite convenient, huh?"
"Well! Relatively speaking, it's more convenient than your place."
"Can you catch a flight there?" Lin Zi then asked again.
Xiang Jin said, "Our place is just a prefecture-level city. We don't have an airport, so we can't catch a plane. If we want to catch a plane, we have to go to the provincial capital to catch the plane, but the provincial capital is at least seven or eight hours away from our place.
It’s a short drive, so it’s convenient for us to have a direct train there.”
"Oh, that's quite far too, huh?"
"Um!"
"Then when will your boyfriend and his friends take their vacation?"
Xiang Jin said, "It's the same day as us."
At this moment, Han Che suddenly called her, and Xiang Jin pressed the answer button directly, "Hello?"
Lin Zi saw that she had a call to answer, so she turned and left directly.
Han Che's voice came over immediately, "Do you have Aunt Liao's phone number?"
"Why do you want Aunt Liao's home phone number? I don't have her mobile phone number, and I don't know if she has bought a mobile phone, but you can call Grandpa Zeng's previous phone number.
Because the house in Grandpa Zeng's hometown is now occupied by Aunt Liao, and Aunt Liao bought it for them, maybe the phone number has been transferred to them now.
You don’t have Grandpa Zeng’s home phone number on your phone? OK, just wait a moment and I’ll send it to you right away.”
Xiang Jin quickly sent the phone number to Han Che and said, "What's the matter with you, are you looking for her in such a hurry?"
Han Che said, "My second uncle knew that I wanted to go back with you, so he told me to find two grain-eating native pigs in your countryside and make them into smoked bacon and bring them here.
Many people there like to eat it, and I was asked to buy hundreds of pounds of cured fish there. Didn’t I suddenly remember that she had raised many grain pigs before? I wanted to go and settle it with her as soon as possible.
, lest she deal with it later.
It’s not convenient to make that cured meat here, and there are all sea fish here. To make that cured fish, you still need freshwater fish to make it delicious.”
After hearing this, Xiang Jin nodded and said, "Oh, that's ok. That dish is very delicious. Okay, then you should call her quickly. I'm sure. Then I'll ask my aunt or my brother to get it for you."
We pickle it there.”
"good!"
Half an hour later, Han Che called Xiang Jin again.
"Hello?!" Xiang Jin picked up again.
Han Che said, "I have already communicated with Aunt Liao. She said yes and asked me to call her before I go there so that she can contact the pig butcher. Just tell her that we will go back on the 21st.
Ah, it looks like it will arrive on the 22nd."
Han Che said, "Then it will already be the 23rd when we get to their place."
Xiang Jin said, "My brother went back early. He will be home on the 18th. By then, the two pigs our family ordered and the two pigs ordered by Grandma Mo and others can be slaughtered first, and then my grandma and Grandma Mo will be slaughtered first.
Everyone knows the process and proportion of smoked meat. When the time comes, our pig can let them make bacon first.
The two of you will be slaughtered on the 23rd. They will slaughter them in the morning, and we will bring them back in the afternoon, and then marinate them for you on the same day.
On the 24th, we will go to Miyun Reservoir to catch fish and make cured fish. We will celebrate the Chinese New Year on the 27th. It’s in time, absolutely in time.”
"Okay, then you can help me call your brother and ask him to buy a few of those earthenware jars for me, then put the bacon in them, and give him the money when I get back."
"good!"
"Thanks then?!"
"You're welcome!"
Time flew by and it was the day before Xiang Jin and the others were going to go on winter vacation. When Xiang Jin returned to the dormitory after finishing his last subject exam, he saw that several people in the dormitory were busy packing up.
"Don't you guys have a few days to go before you start packing up so early?"
Luo Caiyi said, "I'm going to my sister's place tomorrow, and then I'll go over there with them."
"Oh, so?" Xiang Jin nodded.
Wan Juan said, "I packed it up early, so I can just pick it up and go, so I don't have to worry about it."
"That's right?" Xiang Jin nodded slightly again.
Lin Zi said, "I made an appointment with some girls in the next door dormitory. We will go shopping together tomorrow. I'll see if I can stuff some more things into my box."
Xiang Jin said, "You still want to buy it? Be careful that your box will burst!"
Lin Zi said, "I just want to try it again and see if I can squeeze out a little more space, so that I can have a good idea tomorrow.
You said I still have a few days of free time, why don't I go shopping with them? I can't stay in this school all the time, so if I go shopping, I will definitely have to buy something.
Stop talking about me, maybe you will buy more than me later."
Xiang Jin said, "Indeed, I also want to bring some things back to my parents, grandparents and aunt."
"Then what do you plan to bring?" Lin Zi asked again.
Xiang Jin said, "I plan to bring some cosmetics for the female compatriots at home. For the male compatriots, just bring an electric shaver or a wallet."
"Hey, is this okay?" Lin Zi immediately expressed his opinion after hearing this, and then asked again, "Then won't you buy them clothes and shoes?"
Xiang Jin said, "Let's see when the time comes. If it's convenient, buy it. If it's not convenient, don't buy it."
"Well, that's right. If you want to clean it up, I can help you clean it up?" Lin Zi nodded and then said.
Xiang Jin shook his head and said, "Thank you, but no, I don't have anything to pack. I don't have many things. I'll be in a hurry to pack tomorrow morning."
Lin Zi nodded, and then went to fiddle with her suitcase again, always trying to squeeze out more space in her suitcase to fit two pieces of clothes.
Seeing this, Xiang Jin felt sorry for her suitcase, so she suggested, "Then if you really want to bring more things back, you might as well put more things into the storage bag you bought last time.
As long as the items you check in do not exceed fifty kilograms and the items in your carry-on backpack do not exceed twenty kilograms, it is allowed. I don’t think your box weighs fifty kilograms either.”
Lin Zi was enlightened immediately after she said this, "Hey, why did I forget this? Yes, I still have a few storage bags there. Even the smallest storage bag can also hold a few clothes.
Okay, I’ll just listen to you, I’ll bring a storage bag with me when the time comes.”
At night, Xiang Jin texted Yan Chen while lying on the bed, "Have you packed your things?"
It took about five minutes for Yan Chen to text her back, "I just went to wash up. Well, I've packed it up. I'll pack it up this afternoon. You can get up early tomorrow morning and set off directly."
"Then when will I pick you up at the airport?"
"Aren't you going to move things home tomorrow?"
Xiang Jin said, "I can pick you up at the airport after carrying your things home."
Yan Chen said, "There's no need, maybe I'll have already taken a taxi back by the time you arrive.
I don’t have much, just a suitcase and a backpack. I’ll come back by myself tomorrow.
Tomorrow you can have a good sleep as usual, then go home and wait for me at home, I will be back soon."
"Then have you notified Han Che? Will he pick you up?" Xiang Jin followed up and asked.
Yan Chen said, "He knows that I will arrive tomorrow. He also said he would pick me up at the airport before, but I refused."
"Oh, that's ok. When I go back tomorrow, I'll clean up the house first, and then I'll make a meal at home and wait for you to come back."
"good!"
"Then what do you want to eat?!" Xiang Jin asked.
"Anything is fine, as long as it's made by you, I like to eat it, but I can make some vegetable porridge."
"Okay! Then you go to bed early and see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow!"
“Be safe on the road!”
"good!"
Yan Chen arrived at ten o'clock in the morning, so Xiang Jin got up from bed early the next morning, then started to wash and pack things, then went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and finally waved to a few people in the dormitory.
Waving, "Everyone, I wish you a happy Spring Festival in advance, see you in the new year!"
Several people also waved to her and said the same blessings, and then Xiang Jin dragged her suitcase back to her home in the ja district.
After she went back, she first took off the dust-blocking sheets on the sofa and threw them into the washing machine for cleaning. Then she spent an hour and a half cleaning the house. She had just finished cleaning the house.
The sheets in the washing machine were washed, and then she spent another ten minutes drying them.
After doing this, she immediately went to the mall to buy some ingredients, condiments and cooking oil, and then turned directly from there to buy some fresh seafood from the aquatic products market near Han Che's place.
I just went home with two bags of stuff.
Just when she was halfway through the meal, she heard the sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole and opening the door.
She immediately walked to the kitchen door and peeked out, and then she saw that their door was pushed open from the outside, and Yan Chen's tall and upright figure was revealed. Then he entered the house with his suitcase.
Then he closed the door behind his back.
"Mr. Yan, are you back?" She stood up from the kitchen and greeted Yan Chen with a teasing look on her face.
Hearing her voice, Yan Chen stopped changing his shoes. He raised his head, looked at her steadily, and then raised the corners of his mouth, "Well, I'm back!"
He opened his arms, and the smile on Xiang Jin's lips widened. Then he ran straight towards him, and then plunged into his arms. Yan Chen hugged her tightly.
After the two hugged each other for a while, Yan Chen asked her, "What delicious food have you made that tastes so good?" After saying that, he took her hand and walked towards the kitchen.
Xiang Jin said, "It's only halfway done and it's not done yet. Are you hungry? If you are hungry, you can drink some porridge first. The porridge is ready."
Yan Chen said, "I'm not hungry. I ate something on the plane."
Xiang Jin said, "Okay, just wait for a while, I'll be fine soon."
Yan Chen said, "It's okay, I'll watch you do it. Is there anything else I can do?"
Xiang Jin said, "Then wash the dishes and chopsticks, and then take the porridge out."
"Okay!" Yan Chen washed his hands and did as she asked.
After doing this, he moved his suitcase back to the room, then took off the bedspread from the bed and threw it into the washing machine for cleaning. Then he went back to make the bed. After he finished doing this, he washed his hands.
Then all the food at Xiang Jin's side was prepared and served on the table.
Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, he turned his head and kissed her gently on the cheek, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Xiang Jin smiled slightly, "As long as Mr. Yan likes it!"
Looking at her naughty smile, Yan Chen grabbed her chin and looked at her intently, "I'm very pleased!" After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her directly.
After the two kissed for a while, Xiang Jin pushed him gently and said, "It's time to eat, otherwise it will cool down later."
"Okay!" Yan Chen responded in a hoarse voice, and then took her hand and sat down together.
"Hey, did you taste this today?" Xiang Jin bought two large lobsters today. She gave the largest one to Yan Chen, then picked up the smaller one and peeled it off.
Looking at the big lobster, each weighing at least a pound, Yan Chen said, "Why did you buy lobster today?"
Xiang Jin said, "I wanted to eat it last time, but today I finally got the chance."
Yan Chen immediately felt dumbfounded, "If you want to eat, just buy it and make it. Why do you have to wait for me to come before eating?"
Xiang Jin said, "It's boring for me to eat alone. I'm too lazy to look for that god."
Yan Chen saw that she hadn't finished peeling the lobster for a long time, so he dipped his already peeled lobster in the dipping sauce and brought it to her lips. Xiang Jin was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, and then he started eating it.
He took a bite of the lobster.
After she took a bite, Yan Chen immediately took a bite himself, then took the lobster in her hand, and then peeled it for her. He was indeed a good hand at peeling lobsters.
Just peel it off for her.
Xiang Jin took it from his hand with joy, "Hey, why are you so powerful?"
Yan Chen looked at her and teased, "How am I not awesome?!"
Xiang Jin looked at him and said, "Tsk, you are really out of breath when you are said to be fat?"
Yan Chen said, "Chef, you cook so many dishes, how come you still can't cook a lobster?"
Xiang Jin just snorted, ignored him, and just dipped the lobster in the dipping sauce and ate it.
He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek again, and then started eating.
After dinner, the two of them cleaned up the kitchen and dining room together, and then went downstairs to throw away the trash together. Yan Chen held her hand and asked, "Would you like to take a walk in the community?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay!"
So the two of them wandered around the community for more than half an hour before returning home. When they got home, Yan Chen handed her a bag of food. Xiang Jin reached out to take it and said, "Why did you bring me another food?"
?”
Yan Chen said, "It's different from last time."
Xiang Jin opened it and took a look. It was really different from the last time, so she took one out and opened it to eat.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Yan Chen looked at her and asked.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yeah, it's delicious. Do you want to eat it? I'll get it for you?"
Yan Chen shook his head, "I won't eat it, you can eat it."
"Oh, okay then!"
Xiang Jin finished one and stopped eating, then put them away, and then the two of them walked to the sofa and sat down.
Then Xiang Jin asked him how the courtyard was decorated now.
Yan Chen said, "The underground storage room has been dug. Once it dries out for a while, we can move all the wine in and store it."
"Under the main house or under the wing rooms on both sides?"
Yan Chen said, "No, it's under the wing room next to the main house, but it extends under a main house. The price is about thirty square meters."
"That's quite spacious."
"Well, it's too small and can't store much."
"What about the excavated soil? How to deal with it?" Xiang Jin asked again.
Yan Chen said, "Pile them directly in the yard. Don't you like flowers and plants? Then we will use the soil to see what flowers to plant in the yard. Just wait, I took some pictures of our courtyard.
I’ll go get the photo and show it to you.”
"OK!"
Soon Yan Chen gave her a stack of photos, Xiang Jin reached out to take them, and then looked at them one by one.
"It's very new, with blue bricks and black tiles. Oh, why does it feel a bit like that kind of Hui-style building?" Xiang Jin said, looking at the colors of the walls and floor tiles.
Yan Chen said, "Well, it is said that the original owner of the house is from ah. I was attracted by this style at the beginning, and I bought it because it was indeed very new and not damaged. I think you
You should also like this style of architecture.
The style of old bj’s is basically the red window and green railing pattern. I think it’s too fancy, and you probably won’t like it either.”
Xiang Jin nodded vigorously, "Yeah, yeah, I like this style of blue bricks and gray tiles. It's simple and grand, and it also has a sense of history."
Yan Chen said, "Its pillars, doors and windows are all vermilion."
Xiang Jin said, "Oh, yes, it has a bit of freshness. Oh, this yard is very big? Oh, those pomegranate trees and potted plants you mentioned are in these locations?"
"Um!"
"This arrangement looks a bit messy, doesn't it?"
"Well, but those potted plants need to be removed. We will only keep two of these pomegranate trees. I think of paving the entire yard with new bluestone slabs. This will not only make the whole yard look neat and bright, but also
I also made the space appear larger, and then I opened ditches around the courtyard, so that even if it rains heavily, I won’t worry about water accumulation in the yard.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yeah, sure!"
Then Yan Chen asked, "But how to arrange and plant the flowers and plants?"
Xiang Jin said, "Create a piece of land under the two pomegranate trees, which is about one or two square meters. Then plant a lawn under the pomegranate trees, and plant a rose in front of the two houses."
Or wisteria, which would add a touch of vitality to the whole place, wouldn’t it? But I think we should plant wisteria inside, it’s so bright, and we can plant one or a few red roses on both sides of the entrance.”
Yan Chen nodded after hearing this, "Okay, then I'll listen to you!"
Xiang Jin continued to look at the photo, "Oh, is the floor inside it paved with this kind of brick?"
"Well, this kind is easy to break, so it's not good. So I want to replace them all with bluestone slabs, which will be smooth, neat and strong."
"Well, sure! What about the top? What are your plans?"
"The walls were all renovated and whitewashed, and some ancient landscape calligraphy and paintings were hung. Here and here were all decorated with vermilion carved wooden partition screens, and then some wooden furniture of the same color was placed inside.
"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes! Okay! Wow, there is so much soil in two mountains?"
Yan Chen nodded, "Yeah."
Xiang Jin said, "It seems that this needs to be transported outside the door, and a small flower bed will be circled on both sides to plant two flowers."
Yan Chen said, "This soil can't be used up."
Xiang Jin said, "Yes, I can't use it all, so I will have to throw it away when the time comes. But it's such a pity, every inch of land is precious."
Yan Chen laughed and teased her, "Why don't we just find a place to store it like we store wine, and maybe it will increase in value after a few years."
Xiang Jin said, "Don't tell me that it's really possible. When the houses everywhere are built, people in the city may not be able to find some soil to plant flowers on their balconies.
Arrived."
Yan Chen thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, it's really possible, but it was valuable at that time, and we can't wait there now."
Xiang Jin said, "Just use as much as you can at that time. If you really can't use that much, there's nothing you can do about it."
"Well, that's all it can do."
Xiang Jin then asked, "Hey, how deep is the basement? Is it a wooden ladder or a stone ladder? And is there any safety protection treatment around and on the top of the wall?"
Yan Chen said, "The first question is, there is a height of three and nine meters from the top. The second question is the stone ladder to go down. The stone ladder is heavy and solid, and it will not creak when you step on it. The third question, don't worry.
, the walls are solid all around, and they are all cut with stone.
After that, the top roof was stretched and laid out with steel bars, and then the concrete was poured, and then a layer of soil about 30 centimeters thick was laid on top, and finally a layer of about five centimeters was laid on top.
Thick bluestone slabs.”
"Oh, that's good, that's good. Is there a vent in there?"
"Yes, there are ventilation pipes installed on the walls on both sides, which lead directly to the wall of the ear room above."
"Doesn't that seem obvious?"
Yan Chen said, "I can't tell."
"Oh, that's good!"
Yan Chen said, "They did a very good job at this point. They handled the details very well, making it difficult for people to find flaws."
Xiang Jin said, "Well, that's good! After all, even if your house is renovated, you won't live at home often, so you still want to be safe and secure, right?"
"Well! Okay, let's go and take a nap," he said, pulling out the pile of photos in Xiang Jin's hand, and then pulled her up from the sofa.
"Are you a little sleepy?" Xiang Jin looked at him and asked.
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, I got up a little early in the morning."
Xiang Jin said, "Don't book flights so early in the future."
Yan Chen looked sideways at her, "Don't you want to see me?"
Xiang Jin rolled his eyes at him angrily, "Are you thinking nonsense again? If I didn't want to see you, I would just tell you not to come. I don't want to see you! After all, I've never been someone who likes to force myself.
If I like a person, I just like it; if I don’t like it, I just don’t like it!
I feel sorry for you getting up so early, don't take my kindness as a donkey's heart?" After saying that, she stretched out her hands to touch his cheeks and rubbed them vigorously, "I like you so much, how can you say I don't want to?
See you?"
Yan Chen looked at her intently, then pulled down her mischievous hand, pulled her hard and strode towards the room, "Let's go in and sleep!
"
But just when the two of them walked to the door of the room, the beeping sound of the washing machine rang when the bed cover was washed. Xiang Jin looked at him and smiled, then pushed him and said, "You go to bed first, I will dry the things."
, the storage bag in the cabinet is the winter pajamas I prepared for you before, they have been washed, you can put them on yourself."
Yan Chen looked at her and smiled, "Shouldn't I change it myself, or should you change it for me?"
Xiang Jin rolled his eyes at him angrily, "What a beautiful idea you have!"
Yan Chen took her hand and said, "Okay, let's go, I'll dry it with you, and we'll go to bed together after it's done."
After the two of them had dried the bedspread, Xiang Jin said, "You go in and change into your pajamas first. I'll go back to my room and change into my pajamas."
"Okay, hurry up?" Yan Chen nodded in agreement, and then followed.
"Yeah," Xiang Jin's face turned red the moment he turned around.
Yan Chen quickly changed his clothes, but Xiang Jin didn't come even after waiting for a while. He knew that this little girl was awkward again, so he picked up his cell phone and called her.
Seeing that the phone kept ringing, Xiang Jin's tangled brows furrowed even deeper, but she finally picked it up, "Hello?"
"Miss Xiang, does it take a long time to change clothes?" His joking voice came through the phone, "Do you want me to come over and help you change?"
Xiang Jin immediately said, "No, no, I'll be fine right away!"
"Hurry up?!"
"Okay, got it!" Xiang Jin hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief, but still walked out of the room.
When Yan Chen saw the pajamas she was wearing, the corners of his mouth immediately raised. When she came closer, he pulled her onto the bed, turned over and pressed on her, staring into her eyes.
He looked at her with a smile on his face and said, "So I'm wearing a couple's style?"
Xiang Jin looked at him and said with a smile on his face, "Yeah, are you very proud?"
Yan Chen stared into her eyes and said seriously, "Well, I'm proud!" After saying that, he slowly lowered his head and covered her crystal mouth and kissed her gently.
He hugged her and rolled to the side, then directly pulled the quilt over the two of them, then turned over and covered her.
After the two kissed for a while, Xiang Jin looked at him and said, "Aren't you a little sleepy?"
Yan Chen said, "I won't feel sleepy anymore if I lie with you." After saying that, he turned over and lay next to her. Then he took one of her hands and held it in his palm, kneading and playing with it.
With.
"Han Che said that he had a phone call with Aunt Liao yesterday and wanted to order two pigs for bacon from Aunt Liao and the others."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, his second uncle said he wanted to make smoked bacon, but it's not convenient to do it here. I heard he wanted to go with us, so I asked him to go to our country to order two pieces, and how many more to make.
A hundred pounds of that cured fish.
He immediately thought of Aunt Liao's family, but he did not have Aunt Liao's contact information, so he called me to ask. I didn't know Aunt Liao's contact information, but I was thinking about your grandfather and the others when they sold her.
When he moved into the house, he might have moved the landline phone there as well, so I asked him to try it, and maybe it really is."
"Well, I want to discuss something with you?"
Seeing the serious look on her face, Xiang Jin became serious, "What's going on?"
Yan Chen said, "Didn't you say before that we would open a bar together? I had my eye on a shop before, and the location is quite suitable for opening the kind of high-end bar you mentioned."
Xiang Jin asked, "Where is it? How big is it? What's the price?"
Yan Chen said, "In Chaoyang District, within the Second Ring Road, there are more than 600 square meters, and the price is 13,600."
Xiang Jin said, "It sounds pretty good, I think it's feasible."
Yan Chen said, "I want you to come with me to the bj area after the Spring Festival. Aren't we still going to have such a long period of time during the holidays? If you think it's suitable, we can take it down. Then our
Once the courtyard is finished, we can continue decorating the bar."
Xiang Jin also turned sideways and faced him, "Okay, but I'll stay in a hotel then?"
Yan Chen said, "Well, I have to forgive you for staying in a hotel for a few days. Except for the suite where Uncle Duoji and his family live, none of our houses in the capital have been renovated yet. But when our courtyard house is renovated,
After that, you can stay in our own home when you come to bj."
Xiang Jin put her hands around his neck, "It's okay! You live in the school every day, and I don't go there often. Even if there is a ready-made house, it is vacant. Alas, I also have something to discuss with you."
"Well, you said, you said we will discuss it with your aunt and Uncle Tao, then how about we use the company's money to buy two sets of small 2 or 3 houses in BJ and Shanghai?
?
I think Uncle Duoji and Uncle Zheng Gang are business managers of their own. It is not good to be separated from their families for a long time. When the time comes, we can also transfer their family members, or their families can be separated for a while.
Time passes to reunite with them and stay for a while.
During this period, their family can live in that house. To the outside world, we say that the company rented it for them, but several internal shareholders of our company know that it was actually the house that was bought for them.
If they perform well, then the house will be transferred to their names, which can be regarded as an affirmation and praise for their work. If they perform poorly and have second thoughts later, then forget it and just do this.
Never."
Yan Chen said, "Yes, yes, but the few houses prepared for them in the provincial capital will not be used?"
Xiang Jin said, "If you don't need it, then don't use it. Anyway, we didn't disclose that it was prepared for them. Besides, aren't there other employees in the provincial capital? If there are outstanding employees, we can reward others.
I'm just afraid. Look, bj, Shanghai is an international metropolis. I'm afraid that over time, it will easily attract people's attention. Then they will feel unbalanced and see us buying houses everywhere, but they are still working hard.
He works for us, but he still can't afford a decent house in such a big city.
As the saying goes, if you want to run away, you have to give grass to the horse. If you can't let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf. If we eat meat, we have to give soup to others. We just have to let people know, but those who follow us and do things seriously,
We will not treat those who have contributed to the company's operations poorly, and we are still willing to give them preferential treatment. These two
The economic crisis of 2016 is also an opportunity in a sense. During this period, the price of houses will definitely not rise much. It may fall a little, and it may remain at a relatively stable price level. Let’s go to
It’s a good time to stock up more. When the economic crisis is over, house prices will definitely skyrocket.”
"Okay! I listen to you, then we will hold a shareholders' meeting with them and call the finance and Lawyer Qin," Yan Chen said.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yeah, sure!"
Yan Chen grabbed her chin and then attacked Xiang Chao's lips again. Xiang Jin circled his neck and responded to him.
Half an hour later, the two separated. Yan Chen got up and got out of bed. Xiang Jin was puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"
Yan Chen said, "I brought something for you from the capital."
He opened his suitcase and took out two exquisite wooden boxes and handed them to her. Then he opened the quilt again and got into bed and sat on the bed next to her.
Xiang Jin watched him open it, and then saw two exquisitely carved jade bracelets. "Wow, they are so beautiful and transparent." She picked them up to compare, "There is no impurity in them? This is
Glass type or ice type?"
Yan Chen took one of her hands, picked up one of the bracelets, and put it on for her. Then he grabbed her hand and looked at it seriously, "Well, our Miss Xiang really looks good wearing this."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, I think it looks good too! But you haven't answered my question yet, which one of them is it?"
Yan Chen said, "The one you are wearing is made of glass, and the one you are wearing is made of ice."
Xiang Jin asked, "Why do we all look the same?"
Yan Chen said, "There are still differences. Come on, let me tell you what the differences are between them.
Glass jade has a pure and delicate texture with no cracks or cotton lines. Its jade is very transparent and has a glass luster. The overall feeling is as clear and transparent as glass. Look at it, is it clear inside?
Without a trace of floc or impurity, whatever you see is what it reflects to your vision."
Xiang Jin followed his instructions and immediately the corner of her mouth curled up, "It's true."
Then Yan Chen gently tapped it twice more, and then asked her to listen carefully, "If you tap it again, will the sound quality be very crisp?"
Xiang Jin didn't feel much, so he tapped it twice more, put it in front of his ear and felt it carefully, then nodded, "Yeah, yeah, it's true, it sounds good."
Yan Chen then picked up another bracelet and explained to her, "The texture of ice jade is colorless or less colored. One of its characteristics is that the outer surface has a very good gloss and is translucent to transparent.
, giving people a clear and clear feeling like water and ice, and its sound quality is that metallic crisp sound when you tap it.
Its appearance and appearance are a bit like ice crystals, colorless or less colored, with uniform particle size. The crystal grains can be distinguished by the naked eye. Its jade is pure and has no impurities. Its texture looks very smooth, and it gives people a cold feeling.
Like clear water, it has no cracks or sparse patches.
Now, if you take a good look at it, you will see that there is a slight cotton pattern inside without this. Do you see that this is floating inside like extremely fine goose feathers?"
Xiang Jin took a closer look and then nodded, "Yeah, yeah, it really is!"
Then she knocked again, and her eyes were full of surprise. She glanced at Yan Chen and said, "It really sounded like metal."
She put the two tables together and compared them carefully, then waved the bracelet on her hand in front of him, "Did you spend a lot of money on these two bracelets?"
Yan Chen said, "It's not expensive. Your jadeite bracelet costs more than five thousand, and the glass one costs more than three thousand."
After Xiang Jin heard his answer, his jaw dropped in shock, "Is it true?"
Yan Chen thought she thought it was expensive, so he said, "It's really not expensive. This is not the top-grade imperial green, and it is said that this jadeite is grown in a new pit in Myanmar, not an old pit, so
They are not expensive, I just think they are suitable for you to wear, so I bought these two models for you."
Xiang Jin said, "You have misunderstood me. I thought it was a good deal? Isn't it said that gold is valuable and jade is priceless? A bracelet in many people's hands can cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions. I didn't expect it.
It’s only a few thousand, I think these two bracelets are of very good quality and should be worth more than this price?”
Yan Chen laughed, "The price of jade is not comparable. In the eyes of people who like it, it is valuable, but in the eyes of people who don't like it, it is just a stone."
So this is all decided by the merchant. If he sees that you like it, then it is worth the price, and he will be very open to you. If he sees that you don't like it very much, he will give it to you at a low price.
So the pricing of this jade is really specious, it all depends on the merchants, so buyers can only leave it up to them, as jade like this in the 1980s only costs tens or hundreds of dollars."
Xiang Jin nodded, "That makes sense," Xiang Jin wanted to take it off, but after taking it for a long time, her hands turned red.
Yan Chen said, "Wear it, why take it off?"
Xiang Jin said, "Wearing it like this is too ostentatious and unsafe. I'm afraid that when I walk on the street, someone will suddenly remove my arm. What should I do?"
Yan Chen rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Who dares?!"
Xiang Jin said, "Who dares not to do it anymore? There were reports in the news about riding a motorcycle on the street and snatching someone's gold necklace a few years ago.
Besides, what should I do if this thing gets damaged due to collision? It’s worth several thousand dollars. We don’t bring such a wasteful thing. The most important thing is that you gave it to me. If it gets damaged, I’m going to do it.
Sad.
So, I will keep this one and pass it down as a family heirloom in the future.
Now, I usually just wear this Bodhi bracelet you gave me at Lotus Mountain. Look, after I have worn it for so many years, it has become patinated. Look at the color and gloss.
How nice is that? So I’m going to keep wearing it.”
The corners of Yan Chen's mouth curled up, and then he got out of bed, left the room, and found a plastic bag. Then he put the plastic bag on her hand, squeezed her hand, and
She took the bracelet off her hand easily.
Xiang Jin was surprised, "Hey, why are you so powerful? You know everything?"
Yan Chen put the two bracelets back into the box for her and put them in the drawer of the bedside table. "I'll put them here for now. Don't you forget to take them away when the time comes?"
"Oh, good!"
Yan Chen turned over and pinned her down again, and then said to her in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly, "Why am I not so good?" He kissed her neck as he said so.
After kissing for a while, he leaned towards her ear and teased her, "I'm already thinking about the family heirloom. Do you want to give birth to a child for me?"
Xiang Jin's brain exploded with a bang, and his face instantly turned red. Yan Chen looked at her shriveled appearance and started to chuckle.
When Xiang Jin saw his proud look, the inner reluctance to admit defeat burst out. She changed from her normal state and threw away her previous shyness. She immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and stared provocatively.
She looked at him and said, "Yes, isn't this the only way in life? Since I plan to marry you in the future, I will definitely have children. Why, you don't want to have children with me?"
Yan Chen's eyes suddenly became hot when he looked at her, and his eyes were particularly serious and domineering, "Nonsense, my child can only pop out of your belly. If I don't have a child with you, who will I have a child with? I can't wait to have a child with you."
I’ll have two football teams with you!”
Xiang Jin frowned, "You treat me like a sow? Two football teams? Why don't you go to heaven?"
Yan Chen smiled and said, "Didn't I just come down from the sky?"
Xiang Jin rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, and Yan Chen said, "The football team doesn't need it, but at least two or three of them are needed so that our property can be inherited by someone, and it's too tiring for one person."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yeah! But you will be fined for having a second or third child."
Yan Chen said, "A fine is a fine, I can't afford the fine?!"
Xiang Jin curled his lips and said, "How cool are you?!"
Yan Chen lowered his head and smiled, "It's time to give birth!" After saying that, he covered her.
Xiang Jin said, "Don't mess around!"
Yan Chen said, "Don't worry, I'm just talking, can I really do it for you? It's not the time yet. Although I really want you to give me a child, I have to wait until we graduate.
Let's get married immediately after graduation, and then have the baby first, okay? It's good for your health to have a baby earlier, and if you give birth earlier, we will have someone to take over our class earlier, and we can retire earlier, and then I can achieve
I promised you back then."
Xiang Jin said, "So last time you said that trying to retire when we were forty years old was not a joke but a real thing? So at that time you also planned that we would have children early and then become the hands-off shopkeeper early?"
Yan Chen did not deny it, "Well, this is also beneficial. It is to cultivate their leadership and decision-making skills early. Even if they are immature and immature, do not consider the problem thoroughly, and make mistakes, we can still give them some advice.
Like me, when we are over sixty and they are over forty, they will already be outstanding and stable in all aspects and can truly stand on their own."
Xiang Jin said, "Aren't you afraid that it will backfire? Under long-term high-intensity pressure, they will no longer want to inherit the family business?"
Yan Chen said, "How can it be true? How could the child born from the strong union between you and me be a mediocre person?"
Miss Xiang, you have to believe in your genes, and you have to believe in my genes, and you have to believe that the children we give birth to will definitely be excellent!"
Xiang Jin said, "Narcissistic!"
Yan Chen said, "The essence of biological evolution is this. Everything develops for the better, and the chance of atavism is extremely low."
