After Yan Chen finished breakfast, he went back to the house to get his mobile phone. Then he saw Xiang Jin open her eyes. He bent slightly, put his hands on the bed and stared at her and said, "Wake up?!"
"Well," Xiang Jin nodded slightly, looked at him and said, "Are you going to work?"
"Well, take the phone and leave."
"What's the weather like outside today?" Xiang Jin asked.
Yan Chen said, "It's snowing outside and the wind is blowing. You should wear thicker clothes today." After that, he straightened up and walked to the closet and took out a thicker sweater for her. "Wear this?"
"
Xiang Jin said, "Actually, there's no need. I won't even go out. There's a heater in the room."
Yan Chen said, "You are going out to eat. There is no heating in this section of the corridor, so you'd better wear thicker clothes."
Xiang Jin was a little bit dumbfounded, "How can I be so delicate that I'm freezing after just a short journey?"
Yan Chen brought the sweater to her and said, "You'd better be more careful. You can't catch a cold now."
"Okay," Xiang Jin nodded, then sat up, took the sweater from his hand, and put it on.
After she was dressed, Yan Chen bent down and kissed her on the cheek, "I'm going to work?!"
"good!"
"Huh?!" Yan Chen turned her face to the side, knowing Xiang Jin, then she pursed her lips and kissed him on the cheek. The corners of Yan Chen's mouth curled up, and then she raised her chin.
He pressed another kiss on her lips and said, "I'm leaving?!"
"Well, drive slower on the road."
"good!"
After Yan Chen left, Xiang Jin got up and got out of bed and washed up. When she went out of the house and was swept by a gust of cold wind on her cheeks, she couldn't help shouting, "Wow, it's really cold today?"
"Girl Jin, are you up?" Hearing her voice, Grandma Mo changed lanes in the dining room.
"Oh, yes, grandma!" Xiang Jin responded, then covered his face and walked towards the dining room.
When she arrived at the dining room, several elders were having breakfast. Her grandma had already gotten up and went to the kitchen next door to make breakfast for her. Grandma Mo brought her a cup of hot milk and a boiled egg from the kitchen.
Come on, "Your grandma is cooking dumplings for you. Eat this first and put it on the bed. Your grandma will be ready later."
"Oh, thank you, grandma," Xiang Jin nodded in agreement, picked up the milk and took a sip, then picked up the hot boiled egg, knocked it gently on the dining table, and then started to peel it.
Their kitchen is only about ten square meters, and it would be too small to have a dining room in it. So when they were renovating the courtyard, Yan Chen converted the wing next to the dining room into a dining room.
The dining room and kitchen are connected by an arc-shaped carved arch.
The doors are connected, and the uppermost two side rooms next to the three main rooms are one converted into a clothes drying room and one converted into a study room. The other rooms are except for the two in the back seat next to the main door.
One of the rooms was converted into a reception room, one was converted into a storage room, and the rest were converted into guest rooms.
Xiang Jin, her grandfather and Grandpa Zeng finished their breakfast and said, "Okay, let's go to the mall."
Xiang Jin said, "It's snowing heavily outside, and the wind is blowing. Why don't we go to the mall today? Isn't there a lot of meat in the refrigerator at home, enough to eat?"
Her grandfather said, "I have nothing to do at home. I went out for a walk and bought two pieces of that old tofu. Our family hasn't eaten tofu for two days, so it's better to eat more tofu."
Grandpa Zeng nodded aside and said to Xiang Jin, "Then you should wear thicker clothes when you go out. It's much colder today than yesterday."
The two of them nodded, and Grandma Mo told them, "Then you will bring back two bottles of vinegar later. The white vinegar and the aged vinegar are gone."
The two grandfathers nodded again, then turned around and went back to the house to clean up for a while. After a while, they came out and went out with a shopping trailer.
Just when Xiang Jin was halfway through breakfast, Chen Zicong came over with a stack of documents. Xiang Jin suddenly remembered what Yan Chen said to her yesterday, so she said, "You sent it here too early today?"
Chen Zicong said, "I haven't gone to the company yet. I went directly to your company first. I picked up the documents and sent them to you first."
Xiang Jin said, "My work here is basically relatively stable, and there is nothing urgent. How about this? After you pick it up for me, I can bring it directly to you, Mr. Yan, and let him do it in the afternoon."
Just bring it back to me when you get off work, so you don't have to go to so much trouble running around."
Chen Zicong thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, that's fine!"
Xiang Jin nodded, and Chen Zicong said, "Then Mr. Xiang, will I go back to the company?"
Xiang Jin nodded again, "Okay, thank you?"
"Oh, no, no!" Chen Zicong waved his hand, nodded to the two grandmothers on the side, then turned and left.
Xiang Jin and her grandmother followed and said, "Well, this young man is not bad, he is humane and gentle, his temperament is gentle, calm and steady, and he seems to be relatively humble and polite."
Grandma Mo just nodded aside and said to Xiang Jin, "If the person is not calm enough and the character is not strong enough, Yan Chen will not want such an employee."
The two old ladies nodded in agreement, and then her grandmother asked again, "Does this young man have a girlfriend?"
Xiang Jin said, "I had it before, but I heard from Yan Chen that it seems to have blown it recently."
"You blew it?" Then her grandmother said with a look of regret, "Oh, it's such a pity. Why did such a good young man break up?"
Xiang Jin said, "It's not a pity. Both the other party and her parents have a pair of wealthy eyes. They disliked that his family conditions were not good enough, so they fell in love with the girl, the son of a relatively wealthy family there.
So the two broke up, and I heard from Yan Chen that the woman went back to her hometown directly after breaking up with him."
The two old ladies frowned slightly, and then Grandma Mo asked, "How long have those two been in love?"
Xiang Jin said, "In 1967, that woman was from BJ Printing College. I met her once. She was pretty good-looking. She was 1.623 meters tall. It is said that the two had an off-campus friendship when they were freshmen.
We met at an event.”
Her grandmother sighed, "Oh, the relationship of six or seven years can be divided as much as you want. It's really a materialistic society."
Xiang Jin said, "Society is a society of materials. There is nothing wrong with materials themselves, but it also varies from person to person. Some people value feelings and can resist the temptation of money, while some people value money above all else.
So grandma, don't always force my brother to go on blind dates in the future. He doesn't like the kind of introductions. It feels like the arranged wedding banquets of the old society, and he doesn't have freedom.
You go around asking people to introduce people to you, and you owe everyone a favor. Each of them fails, which is not good. The person who introduced you also said that my brother is very picky and so on. You have also used up more than half of the favors with others. Both sides
It's all thankless.
My brother wants to find and meet someone by himself, but you guys insist on introducing someone to him, which makes him a little disgusted. He doesn't want to go on a blind date anymore. He also said that the relationship you entrusted is disrespectful. What if he goes on a blind date now?
He felt very uncomfortable."
"Did your brother tell you that he didn't like the introduction?" her grandmother asked.
Xiang Jin said, "He didn't tell me. He told Yan Chen in private, and Yan Chen told me."
Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "Why didn't he tell us this brat?"
Xiang Jin said, "He said that he told you, he said that you always said that he was your brother, even though I, your sister, are now married, he still doesn't even have a horoscope.
But grandma, my situation is different from his. Yan Chen and I have known each other since we were young, and we have been in love since we were in college. It has been six or seven years now, and we have been together since childhood.
After we identified each other, our relationship has been relatively stable. We felt that the time was ripe and it was time to get married, so we went directly to get the certificate.
But my brother is different. He has never found a girl he likes, and now is a critical period for his career development. He is focusing on his career and doesn't have much time to take care of his personal problems.
What I mean is that we should respect his personal wishes and let him develop his career first. Anyway, he is not very old now, he is only a little over 26 or 27 years old.
It seems that even if it is two years later, it is not too late to find a new partner and then get married.
My brother still looks like that, he is tall, handsome, and he doesn’t smoke, gamble, or drink alcohol. He has a calm personality, and he still has ideas and is capable, and he doesn’t care too much, so he doesn’t
Don’t worry that he won’t be able to find a wife in the future.”
Her grandma said, "He just doesn't feel sad in this regard. Aren't we afraid that he will be older? You see, he is a person who wanders around."
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "Thirty years old is the golden stage for a mature man. You see, he is rich, has a career, has a calm and reserved personality, and has a certain identity and social status. He is very popular.
When the time comes, you can find a sister-in-law who is a few years younger than him. I can accept someone who is three or five years younger than me, but if she is too young, I will be unable to accept it. Then I will consider whether the other person is real.
Because she likes my brother as a person or because she just likes my money.
If it's the former, it's okay to say that everyone is happy, but if it's the latter, then I have to worry about my brother."
Her grandma also said, "We are also worried about this issue. If he succeeds in his career in the future, what kind of girl will he find? If he finds the right person, you won't tell me. If he finds the wrong person, you tell him.
At that time, there will be nothing but chicken feathers in the place. If you can fight family lawsuits every day, how can you have the energy to take care of other things?
So we want to find someone who knows him well, just like you and Xiaochen. No matter what, we can understand each other, right?"
Xiang Jin said with some disapproval, "Then you don't know the basics of the introductions by others. The people who introduce them will definitely try their best to put forward the good news. Who will single out the shortcomings and flaws to others?
, then it’s not just a bunch of things, it’s a typical case of not wanting others to be together, don’t you think so?”
Her grandmother scolded her, "You kid?!"
After Xiang Jin ate the last dumpling in the bowl, he said, "That's right. You don't live with others, so how do you know what their nature is like?
That's not just listening to what others say. If others say it's good, you think it's good. I think you're blindly following and believing. In fact, I think it's no different from what my brother encounters outside.
Not only does this not bring you the good results you expected, but it also makes my brother have a rebellious mentality in his heart, that is, if you want me to do this, then I won’t do that!"
The grandma said, "Okay, okay, then your grandfather and I will no longer ask anyone to introduce blind dates to your brother, and your aunt will no longer interfere with your aunt's affairs. Let your brother
Go find it yourself."
Xiang Jin quickly said, "Don't worry, I will also persuade my brother to take up this matter, right?"
Her grandma just kept smiling and said, "Okay, okay, you brothers and sisters can say these things. It's not that we elders don't understand him, so we just ask him to get married immediately within two years. What we mean is
Yes, he has to pay attention to this matter anyway
Things, knowing that you are old enough, you should also consider this matter, don't focus on your career, no matter what you say, that person should still be with someone first, everyone understands each other, you say it doesn't matter
Xin, why aren’t we in a hurry?”
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, in the evening, when he is free at that time, I will call him and convey your thoughts to him. My brother will probably be moved after hearing this."
Her grandma laughed, then picked up the dishes in front of her and took them to the kitchen to wash them. Xiang Jin followed them into the kitchen and talked to them for a while, then went back to the house to deal with her work.
The two grandmothers went to the laundry room to clean the four-piece sets that Yan Chen and the others bought from the mall two days ago. Yesterday, they had already cleaned four or three more sets. After a night of heating,
The baking was already dry by now, so they had to continue cleaning the other items.
At eleven o'clock at noon, Xiang Jin got up and went out for some activities. Then he happened to see two grandfathers coming back from outside dragging a trailer full of stuff, and they were still carrying something in their free hands.
, after they walked in, Xiang Jin said, "Hey, why did you buy so many things?"
When the two grandmas heard her voice, they came out of the house. Then her grandma said, "Yeah, why did you buy so many things? There are also a few big live fish!" The two said.
Grandma also took over the bags from the two men's hands.
Her grandfather said, "The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, and it's already piled up very thickly. If it keeps falling like this, it won't be convenient to go out tomorrow, so we bought some more."
The fish in this bag, as well as the shrimps and lobsters, are all products of the seawater series, so you can take them to the seawater tank in the kitchen and raise them. The crucian carp and grass carp here are all from the seawater series.
It's a river fish, so I put it in the freshwater tank to keep it."
The two grandmas nodded, and then everyone walked towards the kitchen together.
After arriving in the kitchen, the two grandmothers put the fish and shrimp into two large open clay pots and raised them. They thought that was the end of it, but they never thought that Grandpa Zeng was looking out of the trailer to take the ingredients.
When I took it, I actually took out a bag of prepared yellow croaker, a bag of abalone, a hairtail fish, and two large coconut snails.
Xiang Jin couldn't help but gasped, "Wow, grandpa, how many seafood products did you buy today? Are the coconut snails still alive?"
Grandpa Zeng chuckled and said, "That's all, not much. These two big coconut snails are both alive." After that, he put them into the seawater tank and raised them together with the seafood products.
Then she said to the two grandmothers, "Let's get this yellow croaker, this hairtail, and this abalone to eat today."
The two grandmas nodded.
By seven-thirty in the evening, Yan Chen had not come back yet. Xiang Jin couldn't help but feel a little worried, so she went back to the house and called him.
"Hello, wife?!" The phone rang for a while before it was picked up.
"Husband, where are you? Are you still in the company?" Xiang Jin asked immediately.
Yan Chen said, "No, I'm back. I'm on the road. I'll be home after two more intersections. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Xiang Jin said, "No, I just saw you haven't been back for a long time and I'm a little worried about you. It's snowing heavily outside today and the road may be slippery. Please drive slower when you come back."
"Okay, I'll be home soon, don't worry?!"
"Um!"
Ten minutes later, Yan Chen arrived home and brought back a lot of things. Seeing him moving things from the car to the house, Xiang Jin asked, "Are you going to the mall or our house?"
The fruit shop is open?"
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, it was snowing heavily outside and the wind was blowing, so I went directly to the mall to buy some ingredients and some fruits from the shop, so they don't have to go there tomorrow."
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "What a coincidence, grandpa and grandpa also bought a lot of ingredients this morning. Like you, they also bought seafood products and bought two large coconut snails. Now
The baby is being raised in a tank, and you bought so many now, you don’t even need to buy the ones for the day after tomorrow."
Yan Chen asked, "Can these seafood products be put away the day after tomorrow?"
Xiang Jin said, "Then let's have a seafood dinner tomorrow. Anyway, tomorrow is Sunday, so you don't have to go to work and can have a good rest at home."
Yan Chen's lips curled up, "Exactly!" Then he asked her what they were eating for dinner.
Xiang Jin counted with him on his fingers what they would eat tonight. Yan Chen nodded after hearing this, and then asked her, "Do you want to eat lobster tonight? If you want, I'll ask my grandparents to make two.
come out?"
Xiang Jin asked him, "Do you want to eat it?"
Yan Chen said, "I'm average, I can eat it tomorrow. The key is to see you."
Xiang Jin shook his head and said, "I still don't want it. There are a lot of dishes tonight, including prawns and abalone."
Yan Chen said, "Okay, let's eat it tomorrow."
Xiang Jin followed and said to him, "Oh, by the way, Lin Zi called me at noon today, and then I asked her some personal questions. She was willing, but I just asked about Chen Zicong.
As for the height issue, you also know that she is about the same height as me, and sometimes she wears five- to six-centimeter high heels when she goes out. The Chen Zicong I mentioned is about 1.75 meters, he is 1.75 meters, right?"
Yan Chen said, "One meter seventy-three."
"Oh, then I overestimated by two centimeters, okay, then I'll correct it to her when the time comes. We have to be realistic, right?"
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, you're right. As for whether to date her, it depends on her own wishes."
Xiang Jin nodded heavily, "Yeah, that's right! Later I also called Lei Jia, and Xiao Nizi was hesitant when talking on the phone. I guess she has someone she likes.
But it hasn’t been announced to us yet, so I didn’t tell her about introducing Chen Zicong to her.”
"Um!"
Xiang Jin then added, "Actually, a personality like Lin Zi's is quite suitable for Chen Zicong. Chen Zicong is the mature and reserved type, while Lin Zi's temperament is the lively and cheerful type. If both of them are really interested,
If they are together, they can be considered complementary, and Lin Zi's personality is also the kind of carefree and informal, with both coarse and fine elements at the same time. She won't worry too much about the gains and losses."
"Um!"
Xiang Jin said, "Oh, it depends on each of them. In fact, if Lin Zi really doesn't mind his height, there is no need for Chen Zicong to care about the issue of long-distance relationships. Lin Zi is not the admirer of his ex-girlfriend.
vanity."
"Well, let them do it themselves. We will tell them everything we know and understand honestly. Whether they want to have a relationship or not, that's their own business. We shouldn't go too far.
Matchmaking.”
Xiang Jin said, "That's right! Oh, by the way, I also gave some advice to grandma and the others today, that is, they should not ask someone to introduce someone to my brother in the future. She agreed, and she will give it to me later.
Please call me and talk about this."
Yan Chen burst out laughing, "Your brother has to thank you. At the same time, he can have a stable New Year this year and doesn't have to hide and hide."
Xiang Jin said, "That's right! He will be embarrassed if he doesn't give our children a bigger greeting gift later."
The smile on Yan Chen's lips deepened, and then he reached out and pinched her fleshy cheek, "Little money fan, how big a red envelope do you want him to give to our child?"
Xiang Jin said, "The assets he has now are at least over 10 million, so he has to earn at least 10,000 yuan, right?"
Yan Chen smiled and said, "This is not a problem for your brother."
