After the meeting in the afternoon, I put aside the evening entertainment and went home to code and update!!
Please call my new name today: I feel uncomfortable if I don’t update it~]

Chapter 180 [Are you sincere enough? 】
A plate of fried pork slices with yam, a plate of stir-fried edamame with loofah, a plate of beef in Maji sauce cut into neatly sliced pieces, and a pot of lotus root and pork ribs soup.
Chen Nuo took a look at the dishes. Three dishes and one soup were not suitable, so he cut two more cucumbers and made some sweet and sour to serve.
Four dishes and one soup, live together!
Sun Keke was completely stunned. She was sitting at the dining table stupidly, staring at the little Chen puppy who was busy in the kitchen with wide eyes. His eyes were sometimes sad, and sometimes full of affection...
This scene was seen by Lao Sun, and he felt sour and angry in his heart, but in the end he sighed and remained silent.
Yang Xiaoyi's face naturally didn't look good, but she was busy in the kitchen, so it was not easy for her to go up and scold her - this was not the time to talk.
How could someone be cooking for you, with their sleeves rolled up, and sweating all over their brows in such a hot summer day? Then you rush in and scold them?
Didn't do anything like that.
Holding back, Chen Nuo served all the food.
Lao Sun stood up to help, but Yang Xiaoyi couldn't sit still anymore and helped to get the bowls and chopsticks.
Four dishes and one soup were placed on a small dining table, and four people, two adults and two children, sat together - it looked like a family.
"Aunt Yang, can I serve you a bowl of soup first?" Chen Nuo said with a smile.
Before Yang Xiaoyi had time to say "no", Chen Nuo quickly took the bowl, picked up the spoon and scooped out two pieces of pork ribs, then scooped up two pieces of lotus root in the pot, and added
A few spoons of soup.
"...That's enough, that's enough." Yang Xiaoyi quickly advised. Looking at the large bowl that Chen Nuo placed in front of her, she could only shake her head and said: "I don't have a big appetite, and...I don't usually like to eat pork, too much
Fishy smell."
Chen Nuo immediately smiled and said: "Try it, the ribs I cooked are not fishy at all."
After all, they were sitting at the dinner table. Yang Xiaoyi finally couldn't say anything, so she picked up a piece of pork ribs with her chopsticks and took a bite.
Not to mention, the taste is really good.
It's obvious from the first glance that this kid really knows how to cook. His skills are not bad, but at least it can be seen that he really knows how to cook.
The green onions are tied into knots and stewed in the soup - this way the weight is concentrated and they will easily sink to the bottom during the stewing process.
Only people who can really cook have this experience.
"It's quite delicious, and it's really not fishy." Yang Xiaoyi said a compliment.
"Yes, that's what I said." Chen Nuo seemed to start to show off without any politeness: "I chopped the ribs and blanched them with water first. During the blanching process, I first put ginger slices in the water.
Boil it and blanch it. Take it out after blanching, and the bloody foam in the ribs will be gone.
Moreover, at this time, you cannot directly put the pot into the pot to stew the soup. You must first rinse it with hot water to rinse away the blood foam on it before putting it back into the pot and cooking it again.
The soup re-stewed in this way will no longer smell like meat."
As he spoke, Chen Nuo seemed to use extremely natural movements to pick up a slice of meat from the plate of fried yam slices with chopsticks and put it into Sun Keke's bowl: "Try this slice of meat."
Sun Keke glanced at Chen Nuo with inexplicably complicated eyes, but in the end his heart softened and he didn't say anything. He picked it up and put it in his mouth.
The meat slices cut from lean meat do not have the toughness of lean meat in the mouth, but have a very tender and smooth texture.
"Not bad, right?" Chen Nuo said with a smile: "I soaked the meat slices in water for half an hour before frying them. I also added two spoons of starch to the water and stirred them evenly. This way, there will be a layer of starch water on the surface of the meat slices.
, after frying it in the pan, the surface will be very smooth and tender.”
As he said that, Chen Nuo winked at Sun Keke and smiled shamelessly, as if he was saying: Hurry up and praise me!
Although Sun Keke was full of worries, she really liked this guy after all. She was used to being teased by his behavior on weekdays, and she liked it the most. However, Chen Nuo's expression made her unable to help but laugh.
He stood up and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Yeah...it's delicious." The girl nodded lightly.
According to the rules of the Sun family, no disrespectful words are said at the dinner table.
So the meal was eaten smoothly, and Yang Xiaoyi could not bear to mention what happened before.
Four dishes and one soup. Chen Nuo's cooking was indeed pretty good. Old Sun felt comfortable eating it. Before he knew it, he had finished the meal. Sun Keke was in a bad mood these days and had been eating very little. Tonight's meal was
But I ate more than half a bowl of rice - for a girl, this is a lot.
Only a third of the large pot of pork rib soup was gone. Looking at the remaining large pot, Chen Nuo smiled and said: "I bought raw wontons and put them in the refrigerator. I kept this soup.
I will store the pot in the refrigerator for a while.
Reheat it tomorrow morning. It’s best to use the pork rib soup with wontons. Coco also likes to eat wontons.”
Sun Keke hesitated for a moment and glanced at Chen Nuo: "Where did the wontons come from?"
"I went to Wangjia Wonton Shop to buy it. Don't you just like eating their food?" Chen Nuo said as if he didn't care.
After hearing this, Sun Keke couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart.
This is Chen Nuo, who is very fond of others. He hears and sees what he likes to eat and drink, but he doesn't seem to take it seriously at the time, but from time to time, he will buy it for himself as a surprise.
carefulness!
The conditions of the girl's family are not bad, but is it really bad for that wonton? Isn't it just a picture, what you say, what you like, your sweetheart will listen to it and remember it, and value yourself.
And this is one of the important reasons why Lao Sun does not object to the relationship between Coco and Chen Nuo!
This boy really loves his daughter, and Lao Sun can see this very clearly.
Don't talk about whether it is developed or not, and whether it has a promising future.
Lao Sun felt that even if this boy was an ordinary man in the future and his daughter followed him, she would not endure hardship. This man would definitely take good care of Keke.
Lao Sun understood this very early.
The last time Lao Jiang had a birthday dinner, Chen Nuo took Sun Keke out for a walk before the meal. When he came back, Sun Keke had big and small bags of all kinds of delicious food, such as roasted chestnuts with sugar and so on.
Cocoa likes to eat.
·
After finishing the meal, the family cleared the table, and Sun Keke was rushed to the kitchen to wash the dishes by Yang Xiaoyi.
Chen Nuo saw it and understood the meaning, but said nothing.
After the little girl was sent to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Lao Sun made another pot of tea. Then Yang Xiaoyi also walked to the sofa and called Chen Nuo over.
"Xiao Chen, sit down and let's talk."
"Okay." Chen Nuo agreed happily.
Lao Sun hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Yang Xiaoyi: "Chen Nuo apologized to me when he came in the afternoon..."
Chen Nuo felt happy.
Lao Sun is great! It’s not in vain that I bought so many things to honor you.
Yang Xiaoyi glanced at her husband, her eyes a little unfriendly.
Chen Nuo quickly seized the opportunity and said: "Aunt Yang, I also want to apologize to you in person. What happened in the past few days is all my fault, and it made you worry."
"Don't talk about it." After all, Yang Xiaoyi has been a civil servant for many years. Although she is at the grassroots level, she knows that Chen Nuo is not good... If she really wants Chen Nuo to finish her apology, her own words will be of no use.
Set it!
After interrupting Chen Nuo, Yang Xiaoyi seemed to have a very kind look on her face, and said slowly: "Xiao Chen, what happened a few days ago is over. Although you young people like to mess around, things are finally over.
Nothing bad happened. Ke Ke is my daughter. I should criticize and educate her, and I will do it myself.
As for you...I accept your apology and let this matter be settled."
Chen Nuo smiled and said nothing - he closed the door tightly and did not give himself a chance to apologize for the incident.
"Tell me your plans first, Xiao Chen." Yang Xiaoyi still seemed very gentle: "I heard from Lao Sun that you don't plan to go to college after graduating from high school?"
"Yes, I won't take the exam." Chen Nuo nodded steadily: "I am not a material for studying, and even if I take the hard exam, it will be a big deal if I can get into a third-rate college. Third-rate colleges, in fact, students
I don’t have much. Rather than hang around in that kind of place for four years, it’s better to find something to do early on.”
At this time, Old Sun next to him couldn't help but interjected: "Chen Nuo has already started a work-study program, and the job he is looking for now is quite stable."
Seeing that her husband was supporting this boy again, Yang Xiaoyi gave her husband a dirty look.
"Our family, Keke, must go to college." Yang Xiaoyi said slowly: "Even if the teaching at No. 8 Middle School was average and Keke's grades were not very good, we still have to go to college! This is a sure thing.
of.
Even if you don’t do well in the exam once, even if you have to repeat the exam, we must let Kekan pass the exam! Moreover, it is best to get into a good school.”
As he spoke, Yang Xiaoyi said slowly: "The society is changing more and more. Now a high school diploma is okay, but in Weilai, without a university degree, it is difficult to have a foothold in this society. Chen Nuo
!”
How should I put it? In fact, what Yang Xiaoyi said is absolutely correct!
During the period from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, and before this era, there were still few college students.
For most people, if they have a high school diploma or a technical secondary school degree, they have a good education.
But... isn't this the industrialization of education? Universities are gradually opening up to expand enrollment.
In three to five years at most, the streets will be full of college students.
Chen Nuo knew that in a decade or so, in a city like Jinling, even a decent company would need someone with a college degree to recruit a front desk employee.
Therefore, although Yang Xiaoyi's words are overtly or covertly aimed at Chen Nuo, they are actually correct!
"As for you, you are still young now. People who are eighteen or nineteen years old are not young enough to be called children, and they are not yet adults yet.
Ten or twenty years ago, in some small places, families at this age would allow people to get married.
But today’s society is no longer good!
You are all still students, and it is normal for men and women to have feelings for each other, but this kind of feeling is immature and will slowly change as you grow up.
Chen Nuo, don't blame Auntie for saying rude words.
I also know that you are working in a car dealership now, I heard it from Lao Sun.
But what kind of future can I have by working in a car dealership? A few hundred dollars a month is enough for me. If I want to do more in the future, the ceiling is right there!
Cocoa is going to college. As she grows older, she will learn more new things in college, be exposed to more new worlds, and get to know more new people.
By then, your knowledge and experience will be different.
Slowly, I no longer belong to the same world.
Let me tell you something very realistic. After graduating from college, Coco can find a good job. Even if it looks inconspicuous at the beginning, if you have a university degree and work hard in the future, there will be room for advancement.
What about you? Do you want to work in a car dealership all your life?
Slowly, you may no longer belong to the same world."
Yang Xiaoyi was really rude and said all these words in one go.
It's very clear, and there's nothing cryptic about it.
Lao Sun was afraid that Chen Nuo would lose face, so he said, "Chen Nuo is actually pretty good. He..."
"It's okay, Old Sun." Chen Nuo smiled and waved his hand: "I think what Aunt Yang said is quite reasonable."
Chen Nuo was really not angry at all.
Because, although what Yang Xiaoyi said is realistic... it is actually from the position of a mother.
She is not selfish, not for herself.
Aren't you thinking only about your daughter?
A mother who loves her daughter and thinks about her daughter is not wrong in any way.
"Aunt Yang, you love Keke, do it for Keke's own good, and protect Keke... I will only feel good about you and appreciate your love for Keke. I won't feel angry at all." Chen Nuo smiled calmly.
"Then, you should understand what I mean by what I said today." Yang Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief.
"I understand."
"Well, you are Lao Sun's student and Keke's classmate. You will continue to be classmates for another year in the future. Normally, it doesn't matter whether you are in school, or even if you occasionally come to visit me at home or come to have a meal.
Auntie, I welcome everyone.
but……"
Chen Nuo knew what was behind this "but", so he might not be obedient - how could he really let her say the words behind the "but"?
If Yang Xiaoyi really said it, she would be the one who was embarrassed for a while.
Not necessary.
Chen Nuo interrupted Yang Xiaoyi in time and said with a smile: "Auntie, can I tell you my opinion?"
Yang Xiaoyi frowned and thought: Why don't you give up and still want to struggle?
Chen Nuo smiled and said: "What you said is actually very reasonable. You will have to go to college in the future and have your own future. With a college degree, your future development will indeed be much smoother than that of a person without a college degree.
Even if he starts off as an ordinary person, he is smart, beautiful, and popular, so he can always develop. If he looks for a job in the future and works hard, there will definitely be room for advancement.
Even if you don't go out to look for a job, taking the civil service exam like you is a good future.
It seems that this does have a better future than a car repairman working in a small car shop.
I completely understand your previous concerns."
"In this case..." Yang Xiaoyi sighed, thinking, since this is the case, what else do you have to say.
"But, what if I can be worthy of Coco? What if I can take good care of her?"
"Care is not something you just say." Yang Xiaoyi was a little impatient.
"Don't use words, use actions." Chen Nuo said with a smile: "Auntie, I don't want to work in a car dealership for the rest of my life."
"What can you do if you don't work? Find another job? Chen Nuo, I'm not talking about you. In this society in the future, everyone with a college degree will not be able to find a good job. Even if they find one, the development ceiling will be low.
"
"I plan to start my own business." Chen Nuo said calmly.
"Doing business?" Yang Xiaoyi couldn't help but laugh: "Xiao Chen, doing business is not that easy. I heard that your family's conditions are not very good. Doing business requires starting capital, and...in today's society, it is also
It’s not like a decade ago, when people everywhere could make a fortune by doing business, setting up a stall on the roadside, or opening a small restaurant.”
Chen Nuo smiled and spread his hands: "Is it difficult? But, I'm already doing it."
·
A few minutes later.
"Daming Road? You have a 400-square-meter shop?" Yang Xiaoyi's eyes widened.
"Well, Brother Lei and I are in partnership. He has supplier channels, and I run a shop. I still sell electric vehicles. The company has already been registered."
Yang Xiaoyi quickly calculated in her mind: "A 400-square-meter shop on Daming Road... in terms of rent..."
"I didn't rent it, I bought it."
"..."
Lao Sun reacted quickly and jumped up: "Bought it? Chen Nuo, where did you get the money?!"
"Didn't you ask me this afternoon?"
"What did I ask?"
"You asked me if I got rich by buying so many things. I said, yes, I got a little windfall."
Seeing Chen Nuo's calm expression, Old Sun really wanted to spit on this kid!
Even if I asked and explained this?!
Does this count?!
But after all, it wasn't hard to tease Lao Sun too much. Chen Nuo smiled, took out a folded document from his pocket, and put it on the coffee table.
Yang Xiaoyi was embarrassed to reach out and take it, her mind was still digesting the shocking news Chen Nuo said.
I am even still calculating how much it will cost to buy a 400-square-meter shop on Daming Road...
However, Lao Sun was rude to Chen Nuo and immediately grabbed the documents and unfolded them quickly.
The first page is a receipt, with a line of large characters on the header:
JS Provincial Welfare Lottery Center.
Old Sun was stunned and glanced at Chen Nuo: "You... won the lottery?"
"Um."
"Hit...how many?"
"Five million."
"…………"
·
This news not only shocked Lao Sun, but also directly shattered Yang Xiaoyi's condescending attitude that he had managed to maintain all night long!
Five million!
In 2001, for ordinary people, this was a number that was far out of reach!
If it were in 2021, five million would be enough to buy a slightly decent house in Jinling City - that is, a slightly decent house, but a real luxury house would not be enough at all.
But, what is the concept of prices in 2001?
In 2001, the price of a house in a prosperous city center was about... two thousand yuan per square meter.
In other words, assuming that a house is 100 square meters, a house is only 200,000 yuan.
5 million is enough to buy more than 20 houses there!
Whether in 2001 or 2021, in any city, if a family owns more than 20 houses...
It was definitely a wealthy family, a wealthy family.
Yang Xiaoyi, a grassroots civil servant, earned more than 1,000 yuan a month in 2001. Over the course of a year, including various benefits and bonuses, she could earn around 30,000 yuan without food or drink for a year.
Five million... would be enough for Yang Xiaoyi to work for 170 years!
You can’t make any money in three lifetimes!
And the young man in front of him now has money in his hands that he will never be able to earn in three lifetimes!
What kind of posture and airs does this allow Yang Xiaoyi to assume?!
What a mess!!!
What does Tomato Rich say?
Are you still playing football? Are you still playing football? You have to pick me up later...
·
After all, Lao Sun could still keep his composure, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and carefully opened the stack of documents and looked at them one by one... Then Yang Xiaoyi didn't care about being reserved at this time, and directly took it from her husband's hand.
Take it and look through it too.
With many years of experience as a civil servant, Yang Xiaoyi can judge with more than 90% certainty that these documents are genuine!
The winning certificate issued by the Welfare Lottery Center...the tax payment certificate from the tax bureau...the name of the winner...the ID number...the name of the taxpayer...the ID number...the tax receipt...
"I won the lottery a few days ago." Chen Nuo looked at the shocked look of the couple and said slowly: "I got the money. I paid one million in taxes and received four million.
I just thought, windfall comes easily, but it also goes away easily, so don't mess around.
After much deliberation, I decided that I couldn't spend frivolously or just sit back and have nothing, so I just thought I could do some business.
I have the best relationship with Brother Lei, so I thought about business. It’s better to be experienced than to be a professional. The electric vehicle industry is very prosperous now and has great prospects in the future. In addition, I have been working at Brother Lei’s for a few months and am a supplier.
, the brand supply chain is familiar, the sales model is also familiar, and there are no loopholes in technology and logic.
It happened that Brother Lei also wanted to expand. He provided the supply channel, I provided the venue, and we jointly opened an electric vehicle sales business.
So I bought a shop facing the street on Daming Road. There was nothing wrong with the location, the space was adequate, and it was suitable. After we negotiated the price, I bought it."
Lao Sun looked at Chen Nuo with a complicated expression: "Did you buy a 400-square-meter shop?"
"Well, I bought it. Selling the shop will cost more than one million, but it still needs to be renovated, so I guess I will have to throw away hundreds of thousands. When it comes down to it, two million will be enough. In the later stage, the manufacturer needs to have a guarantee for the purchase of goods.
One million yuan is enough to start this business."
The boy's smile was very shy - just pretending!
But he said slowly: "I didn't spend the remaining money randomly. When I saved it, I had to have a bottom line, leave myself a way out, and feel more at ease."
After saying this, not only Lao Sun, but also Yang Xiaoyi, who had been raising eyebrows at Chen Nuo, couldn't help but look at this young man with admiration.
The couple are adults and have read books, so they all understand the same truth.
One of the most difficult aspects of human nature is to become rich after being poor for a long time!
After being poor for a long time and suddenly getting rich, most people cannot control it. They can't help but squander, show off, and show off, and then quickly lose their wealth!
And people may not know what it looks like!
I suddenly made a fortune, I didn't spend money lavishly, I didn't wear gold or silver, I didn't spend too much money.
But don’t be confused, know how to invest in business, buy a house or land!
This is extremely rare!
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoyi couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at Chen Nuo's clothes carefully again.
Ordinary jeans and an ordinary white shirt don't look very expensive, but they are clean and refreshing.
It's not easy!
A young man of 18 or 19 suddenly got a windfall that no one else would ever make in several lifetimes. He didn't even have the funds to immediately buy a lot of expensive clothes and accessories, such as big gold chains and big gold watches...
This is extremely difficult!
This is something that can only be accomplished by those who can keep their composure and keep their feet firmly on the ground.
Then, Chen Nuo threw a weapon against Lao Sun and his wife...
No, to be precise, it was a fatal blow to Yang Xiaoyi!
"I've paid a deposit for the store but haven't gone through the formalities yet. I want... to write Coco's name on the property certificate of the store."
"!!!"
Yang Xiaoyi's eyes widened this time and she looked at Chen Nuo, unable to say a word.
·
Not for Chen Nuosu, but for people like Yang Xiaoyi, this approach is the most direct and effective.
It's not that Yang Xiaoyi is greedy for money, but that she just considers her daughter wholeheartedly.
Aren’t you afraid that I won’t be worthy of your daughter in the future? Aren’t you afraid that I won’t be able to give your daughter a good life in the future?
Okay, I will put a 400-square-meter shop worth 2 million (including decoration) directly in your daughter's name!
Two million is enough money that you will never make in a lifetime!
We're not married yet, we have no name or status, so I'm just giving you your daughter!
Is that sincere enough?
·
Later in the evening, the couple was completely confused, especially Yang Xiaoyi, after seeing Chen Nuo's winning ticket and saying those words about giving the shop to Sun Keke...
Whatever Chen Nuo said later was out of Yang Xiaoyi's head, and she heard it in a confused way.
I don't know when Sun Keke came out of the kitchen, and then Chen Nuo stood up to leave - without asking Yang Xiaoyi if she still objected to her association with Sun Keke.
Isn't this necessary?
You still don’t like this? What kind of son-in-law do you want your daughter to find? Jack Ma?
It is no exaggeration to say that in 2001, Jack Ma’s entire net worth was not as much as that of Chen Nuo! Even if another pony was added, they would not be able to compare even if they were bundled together!
·
Chen Nuo went downstairs, and it was Sun Keke who sent him downstairs.
Lao Sun didn't stop him, but Yang Xiaoyi couldn't care less, her head was still buzzing.
Sun Keke pursed her lips, wiped her hands, and sent Chen Nuo down to the first floor before sighing.
"Chen Nuo, tell me the truth, did your money... really come from winning the lottery?"
"The receipts are all genuine, and the Welfare Lottery Center is not run by my family." Chen Nuo said with a smile.
Sun Keke is not so easy to fool now. The girl looked at Chen Nuo with tender knots in her heart, but also full of resentment.
Although he didn't know how Chen Nuo won the prize... but based on this encounter in Xi'an, Sun Keke knew that there must be something inside.
"Chen Nuo...who are you...how could you become like this?" Sun Keke's eyes were red, and he looked at Chen Xiaowu, whom he liked so much, with aggrieved eyes: "I
I feel like the distance between you and me is so far away..."
"Is the distance far?" Chen Nuo smiled, then pulled Sun Keke into his arms, hugged her hard, and whispered in the girl's ear: "This way, it's close, right?"
"...It's still very far away."
Chen Nuo sighed: "This is difficult for me. Is this distance still far? No matter how close... no matter how close it is, it will be a 404."
Sun Keke blushed and said angrily: "Rogue!"
Then he tried to break away, but Chen Nuo held him tightly and wouldn't let go.
"Chen Nuo, do you have many secrets?"
Chen Nuo pondered for a second: "Kid, do you have a lot of question marks?"
·
In the house, Yang Xiaoyi sat on the sofa and was speechless for a long time, but Lao Sun had recovered and regained his composure.
After pacing around the room twice, Lao Sun stopped and suddenly said something.
"Can't have it!"
Yang Xiaoyi raised her head and looked at her husband in confusion: "What can't you want?"
"That house, shop!" Lao Sun looked very determined and shook his head: "Chen Nuo said he wanted to give it to Coco and put it in her name... we can't take it!!!"
Yang Xiaoyi's tone was complicated: "Why?"
Lao Sun took a deep breath, his voice was not loud, but his tone was very firm!
"Even if the two children are really together in the future...
Then Sun Shengli also married his daughter, not sold her daughter!!
You are not married yet, but you have just started to fall in love and you have to buy such an expensive house from someone?!
From now on, my grandson will never be able to hold his head up again!
Even if my daughter marries Chen Nuo and enters the Chen family, she will never be able to speak up straight!"
Having said this, Old Sun waved his hands heavily:
