After breakfast the next day, Yan Chen's grandfather asked Aunt Jiang and the family's servants to pack up some bacon, sausages, and cured fish for him, as well as the two cured chickens and ducks that Aunt Liao had brought for them, and a few more.
With a fresh piece of lamb chop and two large baskets full of things, he returned to the army with a smile on his face.
Of course, he didn't miss the top-quality Biluochun that Xiang Jin prepared for him. Maybe he only kept a few taels at home for him to drink when he went home later, and took the rest with him, including the yam.
He bought two bundles and said that he would treat the soldiers to a yam and pork ribs soup to warm their stomachs.
"Girl, little Ouyang, let's go. Will you go home and play during the summer vacation?" The old chief stood in front of the military green jeep and waved goodbye to the two of them.
"Alas!" Xiang Jin and his two siblings stood together with Yan Chen and waved to him, "Goodbye, Grandpa Yan!"
"Oh, bye, bye!" After the old chief got into the car, he said to Yan Chen through the car window, "Chen Chen, give grandpa a call when you get to the bj."
Yan Chen nodded towards him, "Okay, Grandpa, Uncle Li, please drive slower on the road!"
"Oh, don't worry, I'm driving at a steady speed!" The driver responded to him, and followed a guard next to Yan Chen's grandfather to raise the window, and then the jeep slowly drove towards the gate.
drove out in the direction.
When the car was out of sight, Xiang Jin and the others immediately turned around and went upstairs to pack their things. In fact, they didn't have anything to pack. They just took off the bed sheets and quilts and put them in the washing machine.
I went inside to clean it, and then folded up the bedding and put them in the cupboard.
After doing this, Yan Chen raised his wrist and glanced at the time, and found that it was already half past eight and close to nine o'clock. The meeting at ten o'clock agreed with the previous shareholders was not far away, so he asked
said to Aunt Jiang who was cleaning up the living room.
"Aunt Jiang, don't clean up now. Let Xiao Yang and Xiao Zhang clean up. You go and pack a few pieces of bacon and fish, and some yams. In addition, you can pack thirty or forty chicken, duck eggs and a leg of lamb.
If we have to go out later, we will take you back."
"Are you not eating at home today?" Aunt Jiang asked them.
Yan Chen said, "From today on, we will live in the house over the First Ring Road and won't eat at home. You can take a day off today and go back to take care of your own home. The two of them can cook by themselves."
Let’s have a meal soon.”
"Oh, okay!" Aunt Jiang immediately agreed happily, and then said to the two servicemen on the side, "Well, Xiao Yang and Xiao Zhang, I'll leave the rest to you, huh?"
The two orderlies waved their hands, with cheerful and heroic expressions on their faces, "Aunt Jiang, you are being polite. The main purpose of the two of us here is to run errands for the chief and do some housework within our ability.
"
Xiao Yang said, "That's right, Aunt Jiang, this is our essential job. It's okay. You can go back with peace of mind. Take care of the house and take care of it for two days. It's like cooking and mopping the floor."
We can do small things like cleaning up the trash.”
Aunt Jiang looked touched, and Yan Chen said, "Yes, you can stay at home for two more days, and so do you two. There are all kinds of dishes at home, including cured fish, bacon, sausages, mutton and eggs, etc.
There are all of them. You can make whatever you want to eat. You're welcome. Your leader also brought a lot of those things with him today, so you don't have to worry about eating them. When the time comes, he won't have anything to eat when he comes back."
After hearing this, the two orderlies felt very moved in their hearts. They both nodded with joy and said "Alas, alas, alas", and Aunt Jiang cast a grateful look at Yan Chen.
Aunt Jiang went to pack things, and the two orderlies went to clean up.
Yan Chen said to Xiang Jin, "Shall we also bring some ingredients to cook over there?"
Xiang Jin thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, let's go and light a fire over there to warm up the stove!"
Seeing the way she smiled and rolled her eyes, Yan Chen also smiled, and then turned sideways to Uncle Tao on the side and said, "Where will you come to eat in the evening?"
Uncle Tao agreed, "Okay, then I'll get some ingredients."
Xiang Jin said, "Uncle Tao, you don't need to take too much, just two sausages, a small piece of bacon, and a piece of mutton. We can't cook many meals there, and we are going to the BJ the day after tomorrow."
, we will have to move here when the time comes, so we don’t need to take the rice and noodles, we can just go to the mall to buy some."
Uncle Tao responded again, "Okay!"
After a while, Aunt Jiang packed her things and came out. Seeing that there were only two pieces of bacon and two pieces of bacon among the things she packed, Yan Chen said, "Aunt Jiang, go get another piece of bacon and a piece of bacon."
?”
Aunt Jiang said, "No, no, that's enough, that's enough. They still want to eat, and you will have to give it to Uncle Duoji and his family when the time comes."
At this time, Uncle Tao packed up his things and brought them out. Yan Chen asked Uncle Tao, "Are we running out of bacon and fish at home?"
Uncle Tao said, "There are still about a dozen pieces of bacon, there are still about seven or eight pieces of bacon, and there are probably more than ten kilograms of sausages."
Yan Chen looked at Aunt Jiang again and said, "Aunt Jiang, would you like to get another piece of bacon and a piece of bacon?"
Aunt Jiang refused and said, "No, they won't have enough to eat after I send it to your Uncle Duoji's house."
Xiang Jin said, "It's okay, Aunt Jiang. Just follow Yan Chen's advice and go get another piece. They don't have enough to eat. We still have them in our hometown. We had four New Year pigs before, so what we brought is probably just
There are a little more than one head, and there are about two or three left at home. Soon, my grandparents will go to the provincial capital to renovate their house, and I will ask them to bring some more."
Aunt Jiang was a little hesitant, but Yan Chen nodded to her, "Well, what A Jin said is true. There is still a lot of bacon back home. If there is not enough food here, just bring more."
Aunt Jiang hesitated for a moment and then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go get another piece."
Xiang Jin and the others nodded, and then Aunt Jiang went to get the cured meat.
After Aunt Jiang came back, they took those things and got into the car. In the car, Xiang Jin said to Aunt Jiang, "Aunt Jiang, our sheets and quilt covers have been washed. It will be troublesome after they are dried.
Can you help us put it away in the cabinet?"
"Oh, don't worry. You kids are just being polite. Just leave it there and I'll take care of it later."
Xiang Jin said, "It's okay. We still have time anyway, so we just put it in the washing machine to clean it."
Yan Chen immediately handed a red envelope to Aunt Jiang, "Auntie, this is a New Year's red envelope that Auntie and I gave to your Xiaoyao. Please bring it to him."
"Oh, no, no," Aunt Jiang declined.
Yan Chen said, "Take it, it's not much, just a little bit of my heart."
Aunt Jiang still shied away, "Look, you have already taken so many things. Your grandfather also brought him a New Year's red envelope. Your grandfather usually paid me my salary every month. Now you are still giving him a red envelope. So what?"
OK?
You see, I usually don't do much work at your house. I just cook three meals a day for them and clean up the house. I feel a little guilty even for receiving this salary.
Chen Chen, to be honest, Xiao Yang, Xiao Zhang and the others can usually do these things. I even want to tell your grandfather to quit your job, but every time I see him I can't open my mouth."
Seeing her troubled expression, Xiang Jin asked her, "After you quit your job at their house, what kind of job do you want to do?"
Aunt Jiang said, "I haven't thought about this yet, but when the time comes, let's go check it out."
Xiang Jin glanced at Yan Chen, and then said, "I have two jobs here, but I don't know if Aunt Jiang are you willing to do it?"
Aunt Jiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and Yan Chen looked at her in surprise. Even Uncle Tao, who was driving the car, and Ouyang Bo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, raised their ears.
Xiang Jin looked at them and smiled, "Aren't we going to open a laundry soon? Anyway, we will have to recruit new people then. If Aunt Jiang is willing, we can introduce her to her aunt Han Che then. I think
Aunt Jiang's family is quite close to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. She will be there when the time comes.
You can go to work in the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. There are two people in a laundry. Then they can take turns coming in the morning and evening shifts, so that they can take care of the family. Also, we plan to open a cured meat shop. You can help us take care of it.
Shop, you can choose either of these two jobs."
Aunt Jiang was extremely happy immediately, "Really?"
Yan Chen asked, "Aren't cured meat shops opening in BJ and Shanghai? There are already so many in the provincial capital. I guess it's not easy to sell cured meat here."
Xiang Jin said, "To be honest, I also have some concerns about this."
Aunt Jiang said, "Then, let's go to work in your laundry."
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's okay. We'll tell Aunt Han in the afternoon."
Aunt Jiang quickly responded, "Oh, good, good!"
Yan Chen also said, "Later, I will also call Grandpa to talk about this matter."
"Oh, okay, okay!" Aunt Jiang responded again.
Xiang Jin put the red envelope in Yan Chen's hand directly into Aunt Jiang's hand, "Aunt Jiang, take this, it's a little bit of affection from us as brothers and sisters to our little brother."
Aunt Jiang suddenly felt mixed emotions in her heart. She was even more grateful. She looked at the two of them and said, "Look at what you spent."
Xiang Jin said, "Aunt Jiang, you don't have to be so polite with us, huh?"
Seeing their sincere eyes, Aunt Jiang nodded, "Oh, okay!" At the same time, she secretly made up her mind that she must work well with them in the future, otherwise she would really be sorry for their family.
This kind of kindness, Yan Chen's grandparents have helped their family since they were young, and now they are treated like this by the two juniors. Their family has received too much and too much kindness, and only behind her
Only hard work can pay off one or two things.
About ten or twenty minutes later, Xiang Jin and the others sent Aunt Jiang to the door of their community. Then they got out of the car and helped her deliver the things downstairs to their home before turning back to the car.
Seeing their figures disappearing, Aunt Jiang turned around and shouted to the family upstairs, asking them to come down and pick up their things.
After a while, a middle-sized man who was probably in his early forties and looked relatively honest and honest walked down the stairs. When he saw her, he said, "Hey, why are you back today?"
Aunt Jiang said, "The old leader has returned to the army and there is not much work at home. Chenchen asked me to come back for two days to take care of the family."
Seeing that she had brought so many things back, the man was shocked, "Oh, why did you bring so many things back?"
Aunt Jiang said, "Chen Chen and his girlfriend asked them to bring these. The meat is local pork from their place, the cured fish is made by them themselves, and the chicken and duck eggs are also brought from their neighbor."
We share some of the chicken and duck eggs."
"Oh, these are all good things. Not to mention, the old chief and his grandson are really very kind to our family." Aunt Jiang and her husband took the basket of chicken and duck eggs from Aunt Jiang's hand.
With bacon and fish.
Aunt Jiang picked up the small half bundle of yams on the ground and said, "Isn't that right? Today, the old leader didn't forget to bring a New Year's red envelope to our son before returning to the army. Just on the way back, Chen Chen and him
My girlfriend also gave our son a red envelope."
"Chen Chen just sent you back?" Aunt Jiang and her husband asked.
Aunt Jiang said, "Ah, help me take my things downstairs and leave."
Aunt Jiang and her husband said to her in a slightly reproachful tone, "Why don't you invite them to come up and have a drink of water and sit for a while?"
Aunt Jiang said, "I have something to do, and I'm in a hurry!"
"Oh, forget it! Oh, what is that stick-like thing you are carrying?"
Aunt Jiang said with a proud look on her face, "Have you never seen it before? This is called yam. It is the most delicious soup. It is produced in the fruit and vegetable field in the countryside where Chen Chen and his girlfriend live. This thing is only available in BJ.
It's sold in big cities like Shanghai, but it's not sold in our provincial capital."
"Really?!" Aunt Jiang and her husband were surprised.
Aunt Jiang nodded, "Ah, why did I lie to you?! I can tell you, making soup with this thing is the best for nourishing the stomach. In the past few days, I have used this thing to make soup for them. After drinking it, the old leader
To put it bluntly, it was because he was celebrating New Year's Eve
When he was on guard duty that night, he said he had some stomach bloating and indigestion, but after drinking a few meals of this soup, he said he didn't feel that way anymore. When he left today, he took two bundles of this with him, saying that he would go to the army.
Also make some soup for the soldiers to warm their stomachs."
Aunt Jiang and her husband said, "The old chief is such a good man. He is so kind to everyone."
Aunt Jiang said, "Yes, we have been helped by them all these years."
"Well," Aunt Jiang and her husband nodded, and then said with some guilt and self-blame, "It's all my fault!"
Aunt Jiang said, "Don't say that, I think you are very good, I like you like this, you are diligent and do your duty, as long as people are down-to-earth and work hard, life will always be good, I just want to
I hope that our family can be happy and live a harmonious life, and I am already very content and satisfied."
Aunt Jiang and her husband nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
Aunt Jiang then asked, "Are our mother and our son okay these days when I'm not at home?"
Her husband said, "Okay, okay, everything is fine, don't worry!"
"Oh, that's good!"
The results discussed by Xiang Jin and others at this meeting today were somewhat different from what they had expected.
Then Yan Chen, his aunt, and Uncle Tao both agreed to buy a house for Uncle Duoji and Uncle Zheng Gang, but the location of the house purchase could not be in Shanghai or the capital, but in their provincial capital.
The reason they gave is very simple, that is because there are more than just the two of them working in Shanghai and BJ, there are also the person in charge of the braised pork restaurant and the person in charge of the melon and fruit restaurant.
Initially, people don't have any thoughts in their hearts, but once they buy this house, it is inevitable that some people will feel unbalanced in their hearts.
Since they are provided with board and lodging in Shanghai and BJ, there is no need to buy real estate for them in these two places, just keep it as it is.
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen felt that their suggestion was reasonable, but fortunately, the finance department was absent today because an old man at home was ill and hospitalized. Apart from their four shareholders, Lawyer Qin was the only one here. Like them
As a lawyer, he would not spread the content of today's meeting to anyone else, so they were relieved.
So after the two discussed in private, Yan Chen said, "That's it. Taking advantage of the fact that housing prices in the provincial capital are still very cheap now, Auntie and Uncle Tao, you can buy it in the name of the company."
Seven or eight houses with an area of about 80 to 90 square meters can be decorated into small apartments of three, and then a few houses with an area of 67 to 70 square meters can be decorated into small apartments of two.
of.
Let the news out, all manager-level managers who have worked conscientiously and responsibly in our company for more than ten years and have made considerable economic contributions to the company will be rewarded by the company with a house in the provincial capital. Remember, it is Qingshui
They take the room and decorate it themselves, we don’t do the repairs.”
Uncle Tao and her aunt nodded, and his aunt said, "That's okay, but what is the economic scope of this big thing?"
Xiang Jinjiu said, "The stores they manage must be profitable for at least five consecutive years, and their annual profits must increase by 10% compared with the previous year, and within five years all the stores they manage must be profitable."
The stores under management must be among the top three in the company's store performance. The first place will be rewarded with a three-bedroom house of about 90 square meters, and the second and third place will be rewarded with a small two-bedroom house of seventy or eighty square meters.
house."
Uncle Tao and Yan Chen's aunt nodded respectively, and then they both made more detailed records in their notebooks, and Lawyer Qin also made notes in his notebook.
Then Uncle Tao asked, "Where should I buy this house?"
Xiang Jin said, "Now a lot of houses have been built on the first and second rings of the provincial capital. How about we choose a place with a better environment and location on the outside of the first ring and close to the second ring. It's not too noisy."
They must be in the same community and can be spread out, and then they can be allowed to choose their own houses by drawing lots."
A few people nodded again, and then Uncle Tao suggested, "Because I have a lot of things on hand recently, and I may be a little busy. I want to add more people to help me share the work. I can do the hot pot restaurant thing."
I manage it, but I can’t handle the work on the two planting fields at the same time.”
Considering that he would help them renovate several houses in the provincial capital and would often visit the teaching materials market, Xiang Jin asked, "Uncle Tao, do you have anyone in mind who will be responsible for these two pieces of land?"
"
Uncle Tao said, "I think Xie Hui is good. He is a more serious and responsible person, and he is also very rigorous. He was originally responsible for the transportation of agricultural products in these two fields, and he also has a better understanding of the situation in the two fields."
Yes, I want him to take over the work on these two pieces of land."
Yan Chen said, "He was originally in charge of transportation, and now he is in charge of picking. Can he be busy? The main reason is that the two areas are not next to each other."
Uncle Tao then hesitated, "Is this the case?"
Yan Chen said, "Otherwise, Xie Hui will still be responsible for the transportation of the two pieces of land, but he will also be mainly responsible for the picking and planting of the larger piece of land. You will be on the smaller piece of land.
Choose a person who is more responsible and more flexible among the growers to take charge. This person will be responsible for planting and picking fruits and vegetables in the fields. When the time comes, you can ask the finance department to increase their salary."
Uncle Tao nodded, "Oh, okay!"
Then Yan Chen made arrangements, "Uncle Tao, you will be mainly responsible for the operation of all hot pot restaurants in the provincial capital, and aunt, you will be responsible for the operation of all braised meat and vegetable restaurants in the provincial capital.
Li Hui is still solely responsible for the hot pot base ingredients. Ajin and I will also make corresponding adjustments in several stores in Shanghai and BJ. That is, I will serve as the general manager of several BJ stores. I will
Conduct financial accounting on them regularly
In Shanghai, Ajin will be responsible for the face-to-face verification. She will also conduct financial accounting verification on several stores on a regular basis. Uncle Tao, you and Auntie don’t have to be responsible for these two sides, saving you from having to run around when the time comes.
It’s troublesome to go.”
Uncle Tao and Yan Chen's aunt both nodded, "Okay, sure!"
Yan Chen also said, "Okay, let's see if you have anything to add?"
Uncle Tao said, "Well, Xie Hui is mainly responsible for the planting and picking of that large area of land. For example, the breeding industry inside is still handled by the original personnel?"
Yan Chen nodded, "Yes, the breeding aspect will be handled by a dedicated person, and Chen will inherit it."
Uncle Tao nodded, "Okay, then I will know. When the time comes, I, Xie Hui, Xiao Shu, Li Hui, and Chen Jiijie, plus the person in charge of the small area of plantation, will all belong to the general office."
At the level of a manager.”
Xiang Jin said, "No, you also forgot about the person in the finance department. There is also a general manager in the finance department."
Uncle Tao suddenly said, "Oh, oh, yes, yes, I forgot about this."
Yan Chen said, "The staff member responsible for the small area of land should be considered a supervisor or ordinary manager. Because the area of the land is not large, if you promote him to a general manager, some people may not be able to do it.
Convinced."
Uncle Tao and his aunt nodded again, and Yan Shu suggested, "That area is neither too big nor too small. I think it should be set as an ordinary manager position. It looks good, and it's not too small."
It sounds good, just like the lobby manager of a hot pot restaurant. If it is set as a supervisor, the position is too low."
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen nodded, and they both said in unison, "Okay!"
Yan Chen said, "The new job changes should be implemented as soon as possible. At the same time, let the finance department know so that their salaries can be adjusted at that time."
"Oh, okay!" Yan Chen's aunt agreed, because she still works part-time as a human resources officer in the company.
"Are there any objections? If there are no objections, let's adjourn the meeting," Xiang Jin asked again.
Both of them shook their heads, and Lawyer Qin said, "I have something else to do here, which is about the agreement on the shareholding ratio of each shareholder in the laundry. I have already drafted it, and I will show it to the two bosses first."
Lawyer Qin took out several agreements from his briefcase. After Xiang Jin and Yan Chen met, Yan Chen said, "Call your brother and ask him to come and take a look at it too?"
Xiang Jin nodded, then took out her mobile phone and dialed Ouyang Bo. The call was quickly picked up by her brother, "Hey, Xiaojin, is your meeting over?"
"Yes, brother, Lawyer Qin has drawn up a contract regarding the shareholdings of each shareholder in the laundry. Come and take a look. It's in our company?"
"Okay, I'll be right over." Then I'll be right over.
After coming out of the compound, his brother did not go back to the First Ring Road, but followed them directly to their company. However, while they were having a meeting, his brother went to the bookstore opposite to read.
Yan Chen and his aunt Yan Shu said, "Then there's nothing else for me to do here, so I'll leave first?"
Yan Chen raised his wrist and glanced at the time, "It's almost dinner time now. How about you wait a moment and we can have dinner together later?"
His aunt waved her hand, "No, you go ahead and eat. I'll go back and eat. Your uncle is going back to the army in the afternoon, so I'll go back and clean up for him."
Xiang Jin and the others nodded, obviously understanding, so they did not try to stay.
About ten minutes later, Ouyang Bo came, and Lawyer Qin showed him another agreement. Soon Ouyang Bo finished reading it, and then said to several people, "I have no objection!"
Xiang Jin and the others nodded, and Xiang Jin and Yan Chen also said to Lawyer Qin, "We have no objections."
Lawyer Qin then put away several agreements and put them back in his briefcase, "Okay, I'll let Mr. Han read them in the afternoon. If he has no objections, you can sign them."
Xiang Jin and the other three nodded, and Xiang Jin said, "Then we can arrange the payment after Han Che's aunt's account is opened."
Yan Chen said, "As long as she gets her business license today, it will be quick to open an account at the bank."
Xiang Jin sighed and stood up, "Okay, let's go, let's go have dinner, and then you can call Han Che and see where we can meet in the afternoon?"
Yan Chen looked at the two siblings and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Xiang Jin said, "I don't care, it's fine. It depends on what Lawyer Qin and Uncle Tao want to eat."
Ouyang Bo also said, "Me too, don't you choose?"
Yan Chen looked at Lawyer Qin and Uncle Tao, "Hot pot, Chinese food, or Western food?"
Uncle Tao said that he could do either.
Lawyer Qin said unceremoniously, "How about eating hot pot? I haven't had hot pot in a while. It's weird."
Yan Chen and the others nodded, "Okay!"
Uncle Tao said, "Then I'll make the arrangements!" He took out his cell phone and made a call.
Yan Chen also took out his mobile phone and called Han Che.
"Hey, is your meeting over?" Han Che quickly picked up the phone.
Yan Chen said, "Well, it's over. Are you coming to have hot pot for lunch?"
Han Che immediately responded, "Come on, come on, which store is it?"
Yan Chen looked at Uncle Tao, "Which store?"
Uncle Tao said, "Old store."
Yan Chen returned to Han Che, "Old store!"
"Oh, okay, I'll be there right away," Han Che responded.
Yan Chen put away the phone and the others walked out of the parking lot. Uncle Tao asked Lawyer Qin, "What time do you expect to arrive at the bj?"
Lawyer Qin said, "I'm looking at the arrangements made by Mr. Yan and Mr. Xiang. If they decide on the store, I will fly there. Then the plane ticket should be easy to buy."
Uncle Tao nodded, and then everyone opened the car door, got in the car, and went straight to the hot pot restaurant.
After lunch, Han Che had no objection after reading the equity agreement, so he signed the agreement with everyone, and then each person held one copy.
Xiang Jin asked, "How was your aunt's business license application today? Did it go smoothly? Have you contacted her?"
Han Che said, "I contacted you. My aunt said that she has already completed the process and will go to the bank to open an account in the afternoon. I will go there later."
Xiang Jin and the others nodded, and Xiang Jin said, "Okay, then you can go ahead. After completing the process, tell us your account number and we will arrange the payment for you."
"Oh, okay!" Han Che stood up, took his share of the equity agreement, and left. Lawyer Qin said that he still had something to do, so he stood up and left.
Uncle Tao said he was going to inspect a few stores, and then he would go find Xie Hui and talk to him about the matter.
Xiang Jin and the others nodded, and then everyone left. Then Yan Chen asked Xiang Jin, "Shall we go directly to the mall to buy things next?"
Xiang Jin said, "I'm afraid not. I have to go to the bank. I have to put away the pair of gold bracelets your aunt gave me. We have to go to the BJ for a few days. How can I wear them?"
So a pair of ostentatious things walking around? And that big red envelope your grandpa gave me?
I have to deposit it. How can I keep so much cash with me? Oh, do you want to withdraw money? If you want to withdraw money, don’t go and withdraw it. I have it here. I’ll give it to you.
, your grandfather gave me this number," she said, stretching out her finger to make a gesture.
Yan Chen said, "One thousand?!"
Xiang Jin said, "Where?! It's ten times that!"
Yan Chen laughed and said, "I don't need to withdraw the money, you can go and save it."
Xiang Jin looked at him suspiciously, "You really don't need it?!"
Yan Chen stared at her steadily and said, "No need!"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, brother, do you want to save it?!" Yan Chen's grandfather also sealed him a big red envelope.
Ouyang Bo said, "I have already deposited it."
"When? Why didn't I know?" Xiang Jin asked.
Ouyang Bo said, "Just when you were having the meeting, there was a bank next to it, and I went to deposit it."
"Oh, okay, then I'll save my own!"
So the three of them drove to the bank again, where they deposited money and bracelets. Then the three of them went to the mall together, where they bought some rice, flour, grains, oils, ingredients, and some related condiments, and then drove home directly.
.
When they got home, everyone changed into home clothes. Xiang Jin picked up her down jacket and smelled it. Well, it smelled a bit like hot pot, so she took it out and put it in the washing machine to clean, "Would you like yours together?"
Wash, it smells like hot pot?"
Yan Chen said, "Okay!"
Ouyang Bo said, "I cleaned it today. We are going to a BJ the day after tomorrow. Can we do it then? Even if you don't plan to bring this set of clothes, it doesn't matter if Yan Chen has a lot of clothes at home. Xiaojin, go buy two sets.
New ones, but the new ones you bought have to be cleaned before you can wear them. Then the new ones you bought still won’t be wearable?
After we get to BJ, we will definitely go to your own hot pot restaurant for a meal. Instead of dyeing that suit of clothes with the smell of hot pot, we might as well just wear this suit and eat.
After eating, take it to clean, since we have to stay in BJ for several days anyway, it will definitely be dry in three or four days."
Xiang Jin said, "I can't refute your suggestion, okay, then I won't wash it for the time being," and then she wanted to take the clothes back to the house to put them away.
Ouyang Bo took the clothes from her hand and said, "Go find some hangers and hang these clothes outside to dry. Then the hot pot smell will be gone."
"Oh!" Xiang Jin turned around and went back to the house to get the clothes hangers. After a while, Ouyang Bo hung the clothes and pants of several people on the balcony outside, and followed them into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Just when they were halfway ready, there was a knock on the door. Everyone was stunned for a moment. Ouyang Bo asked, "Is it Uncle Tao or Han Che?"
Yan Chen said, "I don't know, Uncle Tao shouldn't be so quick. I haven't even called Han Che yet. It's okay. I'll open the door."
Brother and sister Xiang Jin nodded and continued to process the ingredients.
Yan Chen opened the door, and when he saw the person standing at the door, the happy expression on his face suddenly turned cold, "Why are you here?"
That's right, this person is none other than his father Yan Xiao, but his father's face still maintains a high degree of enthusiasm, "Look at what you kid said, you didn't go home even after you came back from your grandparents.
Damn, you don’t miss me as an old man, but you are old
But I missed my son so much. When I went back to the courtyard yesterday, your grandfather didn't want to see me and wouldn't let me in. So I had no choice but to call back to the courtyard to ask, and Xiao Yang said
You guys are back here, shouldn’t I rush over to see you?”
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Yan Chen's lips, "You miss me, don't you? You had a fight with that woman in your family again and you were kicked out and made homeless? Besides, my home is with my grandfather.
"
Yan Chen's father choked and then said, "Look at what you kid said, that's my home. I paid for the house. What do you mean I was kicked out?"
The sarcastic arc at the corner of Yan Chen's mouth became even more serious, "It seems that we really had a quarrel? I said, is it necessary for you to continue living together like this? If not, leave as soon as possible. I can find whatever I want without you.
I don’t object to it at all, but if you continue to hang out with her, don’t blame me for not reminding you that I won’t support you until you grow old in the future!”
When Yan Xiao heard that he was willing to support him in his old age in the future, he suddenly became excited. The eyes he looked at Yan Chen became more and more eager, and his lips trembled, "Chen, Chen Chen, you talk about me, I
When I get old, you, are you still willing to support me?"
Yan Chen was a little impatient when he saw his red eyes, "Then it depends on your choice. You should know very well that I hate that woman very much, even hate it. Don't think that I will give you anything in the future."
Is she going to live in her old age until the end of her life? Don’t even think about it, she deserves it?!”
Yan Chen's father said, "Dad knows, dad knows. Chen Chen, please let dad go into the house and tell you. Look, the stairs in this neighborhood are all accessible..."
Before he could finish his words, Yan Chen turned aside and let him in, then closed the door.
Yan Chen took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and threw them in front of him, then turned around and entered the kitchen again.
Although his son didn't pay much attention to him and still didn't have much enthusiasm, he made it clear to him that he would still be willing to support him when he gets old in the future, so his heart was burning at the moment.
, he put the things he was carrying on the display rack aside, changed his shoes, and then walked towards the kitchen.
"It smells so good. Are you starting to prepare dinner so early?" Looking at the figures busy in the kitchen, Yan Chen's father deliberately raised his voice and said.
Xiang Jin and Ouyang Bo both turned sideways and faced his smiling face. Then they saw him looking at the apron on Xiang Jin and saying, "Oh, Xiang Jin."
Girl, will I still be your chef tonight?"
Because of the previous unpleasantness, Xiang Jin did not call him, but just nodded to him politely.
Ouyang Bo didn't know what happened between them before, so after seeing his facial features that were somewhat similar to Yan Chen's, although Yan Chen didn't want to see him, he was Yan Chen's biological father after all.
So out of politeness, he respectfully called out "Hello, Uncle Yan!"
"Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, you are Xiang Jin's brother, right?" Yan Xiao hurriedly greeted him.
Ouyang Bo nodded towards him, "Well, my name is Ouyang Bo!"
Yan Chen's father nodded towards him, "Well, I heard Chen Chen's aunt and Ming Tao talked about you. You're a good young man!"
Ouyang Bo suddenly didn't know what to say to him, but Yan Chen's father said to Yan Chen and Xiang Jin with a shy face, "Chen Chen, girl Jin, can I stay and have dinner with you tonight?"
ah?"
Looking at his expectant eyes, Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen, and then saw Yan Chen looking at her as well, as if he respected her opinion. If she said yes, then let him stay. If she
If he doesn't want him to stay here, he won't keep him.
Xiang Jin said, "Okay, but I may not make it delicious. Please bear with me if it doesn't suit your taste."
Yan Chen's father said, "No, no! As long as I can have a meal with you, uncle will be very happy!"
Yan Chen said, "Then let's stay and have dinner together."
"Oh, okay, okay!" The smile on Yan Chen's father's face became even bigger.
Yan Chen said, "You go to the living room outside to sit for a while and watch TV for a while, or you give your aunt a call and see when he will come over."
"Oh, okay, okay, then I'll call your aunt," he said and left the kitchen door, turned around and went to the living room.
After about a few minutes, Xiang Jin and the others heard the sound of the TV coming from the living room.
Xiang Jin thought for a moment, then poured a glass of hot water and asked Yan Chen to bring it out to him.
Yan Chen was startled at first, but when he received the look Xiang Jin gave him, he still hesitantly took it and took it out to his father.
Yan Chen was also surprised when he saw the cup of hot water he put in front of him, and then he said to him eagerly, "I called your aunt, and she said she would call her later.
arrive."
Yan Chen nodded, then walked to the balcony to call Han Che and asked him to come to his house for dinner in the evening.
Looking at his tall and tall figure, Yan Chen's father's lowered eyes gradually became a little moist, and the hand that stretched out to hold the water glass also trembled.
Yan Chen called and came in, glanced at his place, and then returned to the kitchen.
When Yan Chen's father saw his son returning to the kitchen, he put down the water glass and stood up. After gathering his emotions, he went to the door of the kitchen and said to Yan Chen inside, "Chen Chen, I'll go downstairs for a walk."
, come back later?"
Yan Chen glanced at him lightly, then nodded slightly and said, "Don't stay down there for too long, dinner will be ready in a while."
