After returning home, Yan Chen immediately took out his mobile phone to talk to Lawyer Qin, while Xiang Jin went to call his parents when he had nothing to do.
The two of them haven't returned to the city yet and are staying over at the Guaguodi. It's already around five o'clock and almost six o'clock in the afternoon when they got back from Aunt Liao's house after having a wedding banquet today, so they will be at the Guaguodi tonight.
Stay there one night and then go back.
Xiang Jin asked them, "Have Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo gone today?"
Her mother said, "No, only your grandma Mo went, Grandpa Zeng didn't. Many customers came to buy goods today, so your grandpa Zeng was busy in the melon and fruit fields."
"Are there many guests at Aunt Liao's house?" Xiang Jin asked again.
Her mother said, "It's still okay. Most of the people who were invited showed up. There were probably a table or so who didn't come, but they all brought gifts.
Your Aunt Liao's family hosted a very sumptuous banquet today. In addition to the traditional nine bowls and nine plates, there was also a large plate of braised pork and a braised egg for each person."
"Ah? They really made a plate with braised eggs?" Xiang Jin immediately felt dumbfounded after hearing this.
Her mother said, "Ah, maybe it's because they have too many eggs. When we left today, they brought us almost three to four hundred chicken and duck eggs, and also packed a big bag for us.
Steamed pork and a big bag of small steamed pork. There were at least a dozen or twenty of the big steamed pork, and at least half of the basket was filled with the small steamed pork. We also brought two bowls of longan and Xisha, and then a few more.
A pound of tofu.”
"Ah? So many?!" Xiang Jin was surprised.
Her mother said, "That's right, the meat of their two big fat pigs, plus the half of a pig they bought outside, means that the two and a half pieces of pork are completely used up, so they made more.
A lot of them came out, so I made two or three more baskets of steamed pork and longan and xisha, saying they were going to be given to some relatives as gifts in return."
Xiang Jin joked, "How heavy is your return gift?!"
Her mother said, "That's right, we don't want it. They insisted on forcing it into our car. Your grandparents and Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo just joked that they wouldn't need to cook for at least a few days in the future.
All you need to do is stir-fry vegetables and make soup."
Xiang Jin smiled on the other end of the phone and said, "Yes, there are so many cooked meats, and it is said that their large steamed pork and small steamed pork are made in very large slices. That meal is indeed not needed."
How much will it cost? Then you will also bring some back to eat tomorrow?"
Her mother said, "Yes, otherwise your grandparents and Grandpa Zeng will have to eat it for a long time, and the cooked meat will not be good if left for a long time, so I still have to take it back and help them eliminate it for a while."
Then Xiang Jin asked again, "Having brought so many eggs back again, what do you plan to do with them? I guess they haven't eaten many of the eggs we brought back from their home last time."
Her mother said, "We will bring some back tomorrow, and then your grandma asked us to bring fifty or sixty to your grandma Wenju and her friends. She said they didn't go back to celebrate the Spring Festival this year, so she didn't go see them."
"Grandma Wenju?!" Xiang Jin was wondering which one it was, and Ouyang Bo on the side reminded her, "It's the brother and sister who had a fire at home when they were young and were saved by their grandparents and then taken care of by them.
parents."
"Oh, them?" Xiang Jin suddenly remembered, "Did they not go to their children to celebrate the New Year this year, or did their children not come back?"
Her mother said, "Here you come back. Not long after you left yesterday, the brother and sister got in the car and drove to the fruit field to visit your grandparents, and they brought a lot of gifts."
There are also a few bottles of that good foreign wine, and your grandparents asked your aunt to seal the wine for you to store.
Yesterday they had dinner and left. They stayed here for one night and they did not agree to go back today. They said that we would send people to the countryside for a wedding banquet tomorrow, and there would be many customers coming to buy goods tomorrow.
We are very busy tomorrow, so they won't cause any trouble for us.
Then your grandparents and Grandpa Zeng went to the vegetable field to pick some fresh vegetables for them. The brother and sister each took two pieces of bacon and two bacon, and gave them to them.
I took some sausages back with me."
"Oh, like this?!" Xiang Jin nodded again.
"Ah, it seems they are going back to Wenzhou today. They said they will start work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. They also asked us for your phone number and said they would go to the school to see you when they come to Shanghai."
"Oh, then when they come, I'll treat them to the canteen," Xiang Jin said.
Her mother laughed on the other end of the phone and said, "You kid, you always invite people to eat in your school cafeteria."
Xiang Jin said, "The food in our school cafeteria is very good, right? The food and taste are no worse than those in restaurants outside. My brother and my dad have both eaten in our school cafeteria.
"
Her brother suddenly said to their mother on the other end of the phone, "Compared with the cafeteria meals at Xiaojin's school, the meals in our school's cafeteria are just like pig food!"
Their mother criticized him on the other end of the phone and said, "How do you talk, kid? Can what a person eats be compared to what a pig eats?"
Ouyang Bo said, "That's right. The fried vegetables in our school are all black and look like they've been left there for who knows how long. The meat is also there, with a puddle of oil and water. It's so hard to put it in.
It’s like oil is free of charge, I’m very strict
I have serious doubts about the oil extracted from unknown animals, and I don’t know whether it is hygienic or not. In short, I just saw the dish and it was enough. Many students in our dormitory would rather buy instant noodles than go there.
Eat the food in the cafeteria."
Then his mother asked him, "What about you?"
Ouyang Bo said, "There is a row of restaurants outside our school. They sell rice, noodles, and noodles, as well as porridge, steamed buns, and steamed buns. I usually go there to eat. Anyway, I am making money every day.
As a small boss, the first thing you must do is not let your mouth suffer, right?"
His mother laughed and cursed at the other end, "You kid?! Don't be so mouthy!"
Ouyang Bo said, "This is not a question of whether to hold your mouth in your mouth or not. This is a question of physical and mental health. The body is the capital of revolution. Anyway, I can't get used to the food in the school cafeteria. I can't be hungry, right?
The key is that the food in our school cafeteria is not cheap. I think it is more expensive than the food in Xiaojin’s school.
Besides, when I eat out, I don’t eat big fish and meat every day, and I also eat hard food. What I eat every day is also common people’s food, such as rice, noodles, dumplings, rice porridge, steamed buns, and soy milk and fried dough sticks.
None of this costs anything.”
Their mother said, "Okay, okay, it's up to you, it's up to you. Mom just said that. Do you think your child said so much?"
Mom’s original intention is that as long as you are in good health, it doesn’t matter whether you eat outside or at school, Mom will not interfere with you, okay?”
Ouyang Bo smiled on the other end of the phone, "Yeah, I know!"
The brother and sister chatted with their mother for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
Yan Chen told them, "I just had a phone call with Lawyer Qin and Uncle Tao and explained the situation. Lawyer Qin said he is available at any time these days."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, then it depends on Han Che and his aunt and nephew."
"Yeah!" Yan Chen responded lightly.
"Okay, you guys talk first, I'm going to make the bed," Xiang Jin got up and walked towards her room.
Yan Chen said, "Shall I help you?!" After saying that, he joined her directly.
Ouyang Bo said, "Then I'll make my bed too."
Just like that, the three of them went back to the house to make the bed.
After Xiang Jin made his own bed, he went to help Yan Chen make it.
The three of them returned to the living room, because it was still a little early for bed, so Yan Chen took out a deck of playing cards from the drawer under the coffee table, and then the three of them started playing Landlords.
Just when everyone was having fun playing Landlords, Han Che called and said that he had already spoken to his aunt to explain the situation. His aunt said that she was available at any time, so Yan Chen said, "Okay, then
Let’s make an appointment tomorrow morning, around ten o’clock in the morning, at the Heyun Teahouse not far from your restaurant.”
Han Che said, "Okay, I'll call her right away."
"good!"
Yan Chen then called Lawyer Qin and Uncle Tao respectively, and then asked Uncle Tao to tell his grandfather that they had something to do tomorrow morning and might not go back for lunch. They would go back to eat with him tomorrow night.
dinner.
Uncle Tao agreed, saying that he would arrive at the place he mentioned before ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and then he would tell his grandfather about the matter later.
"Okay!" Yan Chen answered on the other end of the phone and hung up the phone.
Ouyang Bo said to Xiang Jin, "Xiao Jin, maybe I have to borrow money from you first to open a laundry?"
Xiang Jin said, "Okay, I'll pay it to you depending on how much it costs."
Yan Chen said, "Three stores, assuming each store costs 100,000 yuan, it is estimated that one person will pay 70,000 to 80,000 yuan."
"Yeah," Xiang Jin nodded.
Ouyang Bo said with some frustration, "Oh, I feel like I am the poorest among the few people. I have been in debt since the beginning of the new year."
Xiang Jin said, "It doesn't matter. I'm not in a hurry to pay you back. It's the same thing if you slowly save the money and pay me back later. I won't charge you interest.
Besides, you have to think about it this way, you are using it for investment, and it will create profit value for you in the future.
You see, at such a young age, you already own two properties, one in the provincial capital, one in Shanghai, and a fruit and vegetable store. You also have yours in the dozens of acres of fruit and vegetable fields.
With just a few shares, I have invested in three more laundromats. In a few days, I may even own another property in the capital, and I have also stocked up on dozens of boxes of liquor.
Okay, although it is definitely not comparable to the two of us, oh, no, there is Han Che, and the three of us, but it is definitely more than enough!
In a few years, you will be a small rich man worth millions or even tens of millions. As long as you remain so stable and don't mess around, the assets you have now will be enough for you in the future.
I won't have to worry about food and clothing for half my life.
Compared with you, many of your peers are still using their parents’ money, but don’t be too complacent or complacent?!”
Ouyang Bo said, "How can I? Am I the kind of proud and complacent person? Besides, compared with you guys, my little assets are nothing at all. They are simply weak."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, the positioning is quite accurate. You must know that there are many people who are better than us. The little thing we hold in our hands is not worth it in front of the real big guys."
Mention, not even a drop in the bucket, so we still have a long road to success!"
Ouyang Bo nodded, "Yes, that's right!"
Then Xiang Jin asked Yan Chen, "When will your grandfather return to the army the day after tomorrow?"
Yan Chen said, "I guess you had breakfast."
Xiang Jin hesitated for a moment and then said, "How about we reschedule the meeting with them to the eighth day of the Lunar New Year? Your grandfather probably still hopes that you can spend more time with him at home."
Yan Chen said, "It's okay, he can understand. We will try to end the meeting as early as possible tomorrow morning, and then go home to accompany him."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay!"
At this point, everyone was no longer interested in playing cards anymore, so they started to pack up and get ready to wash up.
Lying on the bed, Xiang Jin suddenly thought of something, and then immediately picked up the phone and sent him a text message, "You came here without your pajamas, what should I do?"
Yan Chen quickly responded to her, "Don't worry, Uncle Tao left some clothes here for me before going to the countryside, including two sets of pajamas."
Xiang Jin said "Oh" clearly, and then said, "Oh, Uncle Tao is really nice to you, huh?"
Yan Chen said, "Well, when I was a child, my grandfather was not at home and was in the army all year round. I relied on him to take care of me. Therefore, Uncle Tao is a father and friend in my mind, perhaps more than Aunt Jiang is in my mind."
Location is more important.”
Xiang Jin said, "Well, I know, well, you said that Uncle Tao is a warm man, why doesn't he think about getting married again? Anyway, he is not very old now, only four years old.
You're still in your early teens, it's not too late to get married now!"
Yan Chen said, "Perhaps he feels that such a life is more comfortable and happy. Everyone has their own ideas. We have no right to interfere, we can only respect them."
Xiang Jin said, "Of course!"
Yan Chen said, "Even if he doesn't get married anymore, I will support him when he gets old in the future. Ajin, you don't have any objections, do you?"
Xiang Jin said, "No, he has devoted his whole life for you. To be honest, this is no different from an adoptive father. We should be like this. If you don't care about Uncle Tao, you are heartless. Then I
Maybe I won’t associate with you again. If you don’t have a grateful heart, who knows if he will treat me so ruthlessly in the future? So stopping the loss in time is the wisest choice!”
Yan Chen said, "No, I will never do that to you, and I will never ignore Uncle Tao. He is my family. Ajin, thank you, thank you for being willing to bear the burden of Tao with me."
Uncle’s future.”
Xiang Jin said, "Hey, talking about that, Uncle Tao has always been very good to me? He also helps us manage so many industries, so that we have so much time to learn various cultural knowledge easily, so
I am very grateful to him, he is a person worthy of our respect and respect, so when he grows old in the future, we should take care of them."
"Well, my wife is a beautiful person with a kind heart and a generous heart. My husband will love you forever!"
Xiang Jin's face turned red right here, "Nasty! Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to sleep!"
"Okay, good night, Ajin!"
"Good night!"
When they got up the next morning, after everyone had washed up, they were about to go out for breakfast. Yan Chen asked the brother and sister, "What do you want for breakfast?"
Ouyang Bo shook his head, "I don't care, everything is fine!"
Xiang Jin said, "Me too, soy milk fried dough sticks, rice porridge buns, rice noodles and noodles are all fine, but I don't know if they are open for business."
Yan Chen said, "Don't worry, someone is already open for business. Let's go. Since you all can, let's go to that snack street and see what kind of food there is."
The brother and sister nodded, and then everyone got in the car. Finally, they found a shop that sold porridge, steamed buns, boiled eggs, and soy milk and fried dough sticks. There, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen ordered a bowl of porridge and two pieces each.
Vegetable buns and a boiled egg, while Ouyang Bo ordered a bowl of soy milk, a fried dough stick and a boiled egg.
"Do you want more?" Yan Chen asked Xiang Jin after she finished the two vegetable buns.
Xiang Jin shook his head, "No more!"
Ouyang Bo raised his hand and said, "I also want some fried dough sticks!"
Yan Chen asked the boss to bring another fried dough stick, and the boss quickly delivered it and cut it into sections for him as before.
After they finished breakfast, they drove directly to the teahouse near Han Che's home. When they went, Uncle Tao, Lawyer Qin, Han Che, his aunt and nephew had already arrived early.
They asked for a private room, and everyone sat around the square table in the private room, with a cup of their favorite tea placed in front of each person.
The three of them were stunned for a moment, then greeted each other, and Han Che introduced a middle-aged aunt who looked a little rich to them, "Xiang Jin, Ouyang, this is my aunt Han Yue, the transcendent Yue."
"Hello, aunt, my name is Xiang Jin!"
"Hello, aunt, my name is Ouyang Bo, her brother!"
Brother and sister Xiang Jin and Ouyang Bo nodded with smiles on their faces, and then greeted each other politely.
"Oh, okay, okay, I knew you two brothers and sisters. Our Han Che told me about you two, saying that you were his good friends and that you were both very good and outstanding children. It was indeed so!
I just didn't expect our capable Mr. Xiang to be such a beautiful little girl," Han Che and his aunt Han Yue joked as they looked at Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin waved his hand, "No, no, I just don't look scary, and I'm not as good as you said. I just can be self-sufficient and don't ask for money from my family."
Then Han Yue said, "You kid is so humble when you talk. You don't look scary even if you look like this, so who are we, crooked melons and cracked jujubes?" As she said this, she laughed out loud, and everyone else present
The man also laughed, and followed her and said, "You are indeed self-sufficient, but you are definitely well-fed and clothed!"
Brother and sister Xiang Jin and Ouyang Bo still had faint smiles on their faces, but their smiles carried the unique confidence of young people of their age.
Yan Chen said, "Okay, everyone, please sit down."
So everyone became quiet and sat down one after another. Han Che said, "What kind of tea do you want to drink? I'll ask someone to serve it to you?"
The three people all said that they did not drink tea. They had just eaten porridge and soy milk and were not thirsty! So Han Che gave up and the meeting with them started directly.
They mainly made presentations and discussions around the matter of opening laundries in several universities. At the same time, they also made appointments and arrangements for lawyer Qin, Uncle Tao, and Han Che's aunt to focus on their work.
They all came out with notebooks to record.
For example, Lawyer Qin was responsible for formulating the agreement on the shareholding ratio of several of them in these laundries, and also assisted Han Che and his aunt in the review of the employees' employment contracts and the formulation and review of contracts on other matters.
.
Han Che and his aunt are mainly responsible for the preparation and future operation and management of these laundries. They must issue a financial statement to their shareholders every quarter and make a summary of their work every six months.
report.
Uncle Tao's main responsibility is to assist Han Che and his aunt in the work of several stores in the early preparation process, such as site survey, which may also involve building houses, negotiating prices when purchasing equipment, and
This involves communicating and coordinating with the school on land or housing leasing matters, as well as purchasing cleaning supplies, etc., because Uncle Tao is more experienced in handling this aspect.
Later, everyone added and discussed some detailed issues. In the end, it was past half past twelve o'clock. Han Che and his aunt proposed to have lunch at their family's restaurant. Yan Chen and the others hesitated for a while.
He agreed after a moment, and walked out of the teahouse
During the process, Lawyer Qin said that he would try to draw up the equity agreement after returning today, and then present it to them at their company's meeting tomorrow morning. If there were no objections, he would try to have it drawn up before they left the provincial capital.
The agreement was signed.
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen nodded and expressed no objection, and then Yan Chen said, "If there is no problem, just sign it tomorrow afternoon."
Everyone nodded, and Han Che and his aunt said, "Okay, then I will go to the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau tomorrow morning to apply for a business license, and then go to the bank to open an account."
They all nodded again, and then Yan Chen said, "Aunt Han Yue, just apply for a self-employed industrial and commercial business license, instead of an enterprise business license. It takes a long time to obtain the certificate, and by that time
The taxes are also heavier than those for individuals. If you are a self-employed business owner, you can get the certificate on the same day if you are quick.”
Xiang Jin and Han Che both nodded, and Han Che and his aunt also nodded, "Okay! Then which one of you will I write as the manager?"
Xiang Jin said, "Any of us can do it."
Han Che said, "Just write mine. You can bring my ID card tomorrow. It's convenient. We all have equity agreements anyway. It's the same for both of us."
Everyone nodded, and Han Che and his aunt also nodded, and then Han Che reminded his aunt, "Aunt, don't forget, we have three different business addresses, right?"
His aunt said, "I know, I know, don't worry, I won't forget it. Alas, do others allow us to enter and open those schools?"
Han Che said, "Don't worry, it's all agreed. Last night I asked my parents to call the leaders of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and the School of Physical Education. The senior official of the school party of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China is my father's teacher. This
It is a good thing that is beneficial to students and schools. When the time comes, opening a laundry in their school will only make their school more beautiful and help their enrollment.
The Physical Education College is near my mother’s hospital. My mother is a surgeon and a director-level doctor. The Sports College has a long-term cooperative relationship with my mother’s hospital, and the president of their college was once my mother’s hospital.
My former neighbor's eldest brother, after listening to my mother's call, he agreed without saying a word.
That is to say, our family has nothing to do with that music school, but Jiang Han's grandfather is a retired leader and professor of that school. Yan Chen, why don't we go to Jiang Han's house in the afternoon and see if his grandfather is willing?
Help us build this
Bai? If it really doesn't work, it doesn't matter. At worst, we can just cancel that store and then find a new school to open it. Anyway, there are several other universities in the provincial capital, including Jiaotong University, University of Finance and Economics, and Medical College.
Something like that."
Yan Chen said, "Okay!"
Han Che and his aunt said, "It should be no problem. Jiang Han and his grandparents usually like to help others."
Xiang Jin asked Yan Chen, "Who is Jiang Han?"
Yan Chen said, "Jiang Han is one of our childhood friends. He used to live in the compound. Later, his parents moved out of the compound because of their work arrangements. His father is an armed police officer and her mother is a middle school student.
teacher."
Xiang Jin nodded, and then Han Che added, "His grandfather was also a comrade of Grandpa Yan when he was in the army, but later he joined the army's art troupe. Jiang Han is the one we told you about before.
He is a junior at the police academy. Strictly speaking, Jiang Han's father is also a subordinate under Grandpa Yan's command."
"Oh, that's it," Xiang Jin nodded suddenly, indicating that he understood.
After lunch, Yan Chen said to Xiang Jin and Ouyang Bo, "I'll take you back first, and then I'll go to Jiang Han's house with Han Che."
Xiang Jin said, "No, if you want to do something, go ahead and do it. My brother and I will walk around here to get familiar with the surrounding environment, and then we can go back by ourselves."
Yan Chen thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, but be careful, pay attention to your safety, and call me if you need anything."
"good!"
Han Che got into Yan Chen's car, and then said to Yan Chen, "Let's go to find someone for help. Should we bring something with us? It doesn't seem like it would be good to arrive empty-handed, right? It's the New Year again?"
Yan Chen said, "Then go to your house to get two bottles of wine, and go to my house to pick up two cured fish and fill them with twenty or thirty native chicken and duck eggs?"
Han Che nodded and said, "Oh, this is okay, but it's hard to buy local eggs in the city."
So Yan Chen turned the car around and went to Han Che's house to pick up wine. Han Che said, "Oh, oh, all my wine is stored in the courtyard!"
Yan Chen frowned, "I didn't tell you earlier!"
Han Che said, "I only told you a few seconds late. I knew your car had already changed lanes. It's okay. It's okay. It's the same if you turn around in front. Anyway, it won't be a long detour."
"
Yan Chen said, "Call Jiang Han first to see if his grandpa is at home. Don't waste your trip if he's not home."
"Oh, yes, yes," Han Che quickly took out his phone and dialed Jiang Han. The caller answered the phone very quickly. Soon Yan Chen heard Han Che's regretful tone, "
I'm not in the provincial capital, so when will your grandparents come back? I don't know? Oh, okay, it's okay, it's okay, actually it's not a big deal.
, it’s me and Yan Chen, we want to open a laundromat in the Conservatory of Music, don’t we know the leaders there? I just thought that your grandfather used to be the old leader and professor of the Conservatory of Music, so I wanted to ask him and the leaders there
Are you familiar with the current leader? If so, can you give us some guidance? If not, forget it."
Yan Chen drove the car to the side of the road and stopped, and then heard Han Che say with surprise, "Really, thank you, thank you, okay, when are you free, let's come out and get together
?I’m not free, I’ve already gone back to school to study? Okay, okay, then we’ll make an appointment later, Yan Chen, Yan Chen is here, okay, then you tell him?”
Yan Chen took the phone from Han Che, "Hello?!"
As soon as he put the phone to his ear, he was met with a burst of complaints from the other party, "Yan Chen, this guy of yours who values sex over friends, when you have a girlfriend, you forget about those of us who grew up together."
Right? It’s been so long since I came back to the provincial capital, and I can’t even come out to get together with you during the Chinese New Year.”
Yan Chen said, "I went back to the countryside to visit my grandparents. My uncle and aunt didn't come back to celebrate the New Year this year."
The other party said, "Tsk, that's just an excuse to visit your grandparents. From my point of view, you just want to be with your girlfriend. Don't think that we don't know that your girlfriend is with you."
We jointly plant dozens of acres of fruits and vegetables in the countryside, and your grandparents are helping there, so she will go there often, right?"
Yan Chen looked at Han Che, but he said to the person on the other end of the phone, "You understand it very clearly!"
Jiang Han said, "That's necessary! What, I heard that your girlfriend is very beautiful, is it true?"
Yan Chen asked, "I heard that you also have a girlfriend?"
Jiang Han immediately retorted, "Who said that? Who said that? I don't have a girlfriend."
"Oh, that's a secret crush!"
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Yan Chen said, "It seems like she really has a crush?!"
Immediately, a slightly suppressed roar erupted from the other end of the phone, "Yan Chen, you are such a bad player, you actually lied to me?!"
Yan Chen's lips curled up at the other end of the phone, "Okay, okay, your class time is coming soon, so I won't joke with you anymore. Let's get together again when the summer vacation is free."
"Okay!"
Yan Chen then returned the phone to Han Che. Han Che saw that the phone had been hung up, so he put the phone directly in his pocket.
Then he told him, "Jiang Han's grandparents are not at home. They went to Xiamen to take care of his brother-in-law's child. When winter came last year, his aunt gave birth to a little cousin for him, because his brother-in-law and
My aunt had to go to work and there was no one to take care of the children, so his grandparents came over."
Yan Chen asked, "How old is his brother-in-law? He is still having a baby, a second marriage, or a second child?!"
Han Che shook his head and said, "No, he's the first child from a marriage, he must be in his late thirties or nineteen."
Yan Chen looked at him and said, "What next?"
"Then? Oh, then there is no need to go to their house. He said he would call his grandpa and ask his grandpa when the time comes. Let his grandpa call us and ask."
Yan Chen nodded, "That's okay! Or it's the same thing to ask Uncle Tao or your aunt to talk directly to the leaders of the music school when they start school."
Han Che nodded, "Yeah, that's fine!"
Yan Chen asked him, "Where are you going next? Going home or something?"
Han Che said, "Go home, go back to the courtyard!"
Yan Chen said, "Then you come with us later. I will pick up Ajin and the others. Grandpa asked us to go back for dinner today."
Han Che said, "It's okay. You can pick them up first. I'm fine anyway, so there's no rush."
Yan Chen took out his mobile phone and called Xiang Jin, asking where they were now so that he could go find them. Xiang Jin said that they were visiting a tourist attraction in a group of ancient buildings near their home.
Yan Chen said, "Okay, then just wait for me there, I'll be there soon!"
"good!"
Yan Chen started the motorcycle and drove towards the tourist attraction.
When they arrived there, Xiang Jin and Ouyang Bo were standing at the gate of the tourist attraction with a few skewers of barbecued meat and grilled tofu skin in their hands, eating.
"Why is her face covered with food?" Yan Chen frowned, and as he spoke, Yan Chen took out a tissue and wiped the chili noodles and oil stains on her face.
"Oh, I don't care," Xiang Jin said, raising the snacks in his hands to them, "Do you two want to eat?"
Yan Chen shook his head, "I won't eat it, you can eat it."
Han Che stretched out his hand towards Ouyang Bo, "I'll eat a bunch of those baked bean skins."
"Oh oh oh," Ouyang Bo quickly gave him a bunch.
Yan Chen asked them, "Do you still want to go shopping?"
Xiang Jin shook his head and said, "I won't go shopping anymore. I've finished shopping and it's not very big inside."
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, it's really not that big inside. There used to be many ancient buildings here, but they were all demolished later, leaving only such a small area."
Xiang Jin and the others nodded, and then Yan Chen said, "Then we don't want to go shopping anymore, let's go back?"
Xiang Jin nodded, and then she gave Han Che and Ouyang Bo two skewers of the kebabs in her hand, "Come on, come on, help me eat some, don't make the car dirty later."
Xixi."
The two of them were a little bit dumbfounded, but they could only accept it helplessly.
"Hey, why are you back so soon?" Xiang Jin asked while eating.
Yan Chen said, "We called Jiang Han on the way and learned that his grandparents were not at home and had gone to Fujian to take care of the children for his uncle, so we came back."
"Oh, that's it?!" Xiang Jin nodded, "It's okay. Let's go there by ourselves when school starts and talk to the school leaders. Maybe they will be easy to talk to and we can agree."
Yan Chen nodded, "Yes, it's as we thought."
Xiang Jin joked, "It seems like we have the same goals, huh?"
Yan Chen smiled and said, "Yes!"
Xiang Jin finished the last piece of barbecue, then took the tissue from Yan Chen's hand, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then asked Yan Chen, "Is there anything else? Is it clean?"
Yan Chen stared at her and nodded, "Well, that's it!"
Xiang Jin took the bamboo sticks and napkins to throw away the garbage.
After a while, Han Che and Ouyang Bo came back from eating barbecue and throwing away the garbage, and everyone got in the car and returned to the compound.
Several people returned to the courtyard. Yan Chen and his grandfather were sitting in the living room reading a copy of the "Liberation Army Daily". When he saw them coming in, he immediately put down the newspapers in his hands, "Back?!"
Yan Chen nodded towards him, and Xiang Jin and his sister greeted him politely, "Grandpa Yan?!"
"Hey, okay, okay, sit down, sit down, come over and sit down. We are not outsiders, we are all one family, no need for outsiders," Yan Chen and his grandfather hurriedly greeted them.
"Oh," the three of them walked over and sat down on the sofa next to him.
Yan Chen's grandfather said, "I heard from your Uncle Tao that you went to find Jiang Han's grandfather. How did things go?"
Yan Chen said, "Grandpa Jiang and the others are not at home. They went to Fujian to take care of the children for Jiang Han and his brother-in-law. Jiang Han said that he would call his grandfather to talk about the matter and wait for his grandfather's answer."
Yan Chen and his grandfather nodded, and Yan Chen said, "But it doesn't matter if it doesn't work. When school starts, we can go to the school to find the leader ourselves."
His grandfather nodded again, "Okay, you should solve it yourself if you can. Your Grandpa Jiang has retired from that school for several years. I guess he is not very familiar with the new leader, so why don't you go and cause him trouble?"
Just try not to cause trouble for him, so as not to embarrass others."
Yan Chen nodded, "Yes, I know!"
Then his grandfather looked at Xiang Jin and his two siblings, "Tonight, you two, brother and sister, don't go to the house over the First Ring Road. Just stay at home. Your beds are still made, and your Aunt Jiang is also
It hasn’t been confiscated yet, let’s talk a little more tonight and wait a little longer, I will go back to the army tomorrow, and it won’t be too late for you to go back to the First Ring Road after that.”
"Ah?!" Xiang Jin and his brother and sister were a little surprised and hesitant, and then they all looked at Yan Chen, who nodded towards them.
Xiang Jin immediately said to the old leader, "Okay, Grandpa Yan!"
Then Ouyang Bo asked, "Grandpa Yan, you are working really hard. You have only been at home for two days before you have to go back to the army."
Yan Chen and his grandfather smiled and said, "The army is like this. There is no extra time for people to rest. It is our duty as soldiers to protect our homes and the country. As soldiers, we also feel honored and proud of this profession.
"When he said this, he looked at Yan Chen, "But the only regret is that our profession can't accompany our families for a long time, so I supported Chen Chen if he didn't apply for the military academy.
For a family like ours, it is enough for me to be a soldier. I will not be like the elders of other families, and I will not demand that my children and future generations must be generals.
I respect the children's own choices. As long as they don't act recklessly, don't hurt the feelings of the country and the people, don't harm the interests of the country and the nation, and don't do anything illegal or disorderly, I will give them their own choice for the future.
Full respect for the road and responsibilities.”
Xiang Jin and Ouyang Bo nodded, and Xiang Jin said, "I can see that Grandpa Yan is a very open-minded elder, and Yan Chen has always respected and loved you!"
Yan Chen and his grandfather laughed heartily, his eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, and he said, "It's no good to be unenlightened now. With the development of society, the country and the people are progressing, and we are soldiers
People's thinking must also change accordingly. They must be flexible and adapt to the needs of the social era. They must not stick to their own self-styled and rigid minds!"
Xiang Jin and the others nodded, and then Yan Chen asked, "Where's Uncle Tao, why aren't you at home?"
His grandfather said, "Your Uncle Tao said that he would go to the store to look around and come back later."
At this moment, the phone on the low table next to the armrest of the sofa rang. Yan Chen and his grandfather picked it up casually. Then Xiang Jin and the others saw that the old chief's face suddenly became serious and ugly.
The person on the other end of the phone said, "Tell him to go back and don't let him in. I don't want to see him!" After saying that, he hung up the phone with a bang.
Yan Chen looked at him and saw the old chief squinting his eyebrows, "This bastard just thought of visiting his son and me now. Who cares about him?!"
Xiang Jin and the others immediately realized that he was scolding Yan Chen's father, so she changed the subject and said, "Well, I'll go to the kitchen and see if Aunt Jiang needs any help. Yan Chen, you're not
Do you still want to play Landlords? It just so happens that the three of you can play together. Grandpa Yan and Yan Chen played Landlords with us last night and won us a lot of money. You can help us win some back today."
"Okay, okay!" Yan Chen and his grandfather looked really moved.
Yan Chen knew what Xiang Jin was thinking. He wanted to divert his grandfather's attention and make him happy, so he cooperated with her in this play. After saying "ok" to her, he got up and went to get it.
A deck of playing cards was brought over, and the three of them started playing Landlords.
