Chapter 883 Hospitality
In the urban area, Mingyacheng community.
The living room was filled with all kinds of gifts, making the space look a little messy. Yao Yiyao squatted on the floor, carefully taking inventory.
Suddenly, there was a noise at the door, and Yao Haikuo walked into the living room carrying a red gift box. He said in a loud voice, "Massive hairy crabs, all female crabs weighing 150 grams!"
Before Yao Yiyao could reply, her mother frowned and said seriously, "Come in and change your shoes first. The floor was just mopped!"
Yao Haikuo continued to smile and took off his leather shoes in two moves.
Yao Yiyao: "Dad, it's not cheap, right?"
Yao Haikuo didn't care: "Eight pieces, four hundred yuan, it's okay if it's a bit expensive."
He took on the job of Evergreen Liquid this year, and his engineering team worked overtime. He thought he could only get two or three hundred. After all, in their line of work, it was normal to be owed project payments. But who knew that the payment for Evergreen Liquid came directly before the work was finished!
Yao Haikuo finally understood what the strength of a big company is!
With money flowing like water, spending money is even less of a concern. Yao Haikuo looked at the gifts on the ground and said, "Yaoyao, how much is it in total? Dad will reimburse you!"
"It's more than six thousand, just give me eight thousand." Yao Yiyao took the opportunity to ask for more money.
Yao Haikuo waved his hand and said, "I'll give you 10,000 yuan later!"
The father and daughter were chatting happily. All these gifts were prepared for Jiang Ning, and they had already made an appointment to visit him at noon today.
Yao's mother frowned even more deeply. She was dressed in dark clothes, showing the temperament of a small leader in the system: "Didn't you go there once before? Are you going there again?"
Yao Yiyao didn't say anything. Her mother was very strong at home and her word was final. She had been afraid since she was a child that her life was controlled by her mother.
Yao Haikuo also did not say that although he used to work in engineering and could earn some money, it was not much. If we really talk about social status, he is actually not as good as his wife, a small middle-level leader in the system.
Yao's mother continued, "You have to maintain my father's network of connections. It will be good for your project. The day before yesterday, Director Li planned to treat you to a meal. He said that you have been doing a good job recently. His son kept talking about Yaoyao..."
Yao Haikuo laughed dryly. Director Li was an old subordinate of his father-in-law. In the past, in order to get projects, he had given Director Li many benefits and accompanied him in drinking and joking, but the results were not satisfactory.
Because Yao Yiyao's mother worked in the system, she had come into contact with peers with similar backgrounds. Not all of them were as easy to get along with as Lou Keke. Many of the relationships were complicated and they had many conflicts when they were young.
Some children whose parents have lower status try to please children whose parents have higher status and even compete with each other.
At that time, people in many positions could only get a fixed salary, and their living conditions were really not very good. However, Yao Yiyao's mother worked in the system, and her father made money by working in engineering projects, so the family conditions were quite good.
In the past, she wore a beautiful dress, but was still treated sarcasticly by the "big sister" in that circle. When she ran away from home, many people laughed at her. There are very few people in the world who truly wish the best for you.
Compared to attending that kind of dinner party, Yao Yiyao would rather go to the river dam to play with Jiang Ning and the others. She sincerely believed that both the handsome Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong who could cook were really talented.
Yao's mother taught her a lesson: "It was enough to buy so many things before, and you gave away a lot more during the Chinese New Year..."
Yao Yiyao originally thought that her father would let her mother scold him as he did in the past, but the next second, Yao Haikuo suddenly shouted, "Shut up now!"
Yao's mother's expression froze for a moment. She never expected that he would dare to talk back.
Yao Haikuo was extremely angry and exploded on the spot: "Fuck, have you lost your mind because of your work? Can you open your eyes and see the outside world? Jiang Ning saved Yaoyao and me! That's my fucking life!"
The anger that had been suppressed for more than ten years was suddenly released: "That was a life-saving grace!"
Yao Haikuo: "Yaoyao, listen to me, Jiang Ning saved our lives, and it will never be too much to repay him in the future. We must go every year, we must go!"
Yao Yiyao nodded.
Yao Haikuo left a message: "Take your things with you, we are leaving now!"
Then, the two of them resolutely went out under the incredulous gaze of Yao's mother.
in the car.
Yao Yiyao looked at her father, as if she was getting to know him all over again.
Yao Haikuo had calmed down. He said in a gentle voice, "Yaoyao, can I have a cigarette?"
"Open the window." said Yao Yiyao.
Yao Haikuo lit a cigarette with a smile.
"Dad, you were so handsome just now!" Yao Yiyao admired him. In her eyes, her mother used to be a lawless tigress, but just now she was scolded by her father without saying a word.
Yao Haikuo started the Land Rover, holding the steering wheel with one hand and holding a cigarette in the other hand, hanging out of the car window.
He had been suppressed for a long time, but now is different from the past. He has contracted the Changqing Liquid project and also signed a contract for subsequent cooperation. With an annual income of several million, he does not have to rely on others to make a living.
Is there anyone in Yuzhou who dares to hold up the progress of the Changqing Liquid project? He is really desperate! So a small leader is nothing in front of him?
The improvement of social status will inevitably lead to changes in the family’s discourse power.
Yao Haikuo: "I will have the final say in the family from now on."
Yao Yiyao was happy for a while before asking, "Then how are you going to solve this problem, Mom?"
She thought her father would be tough to the end.
As a result, Yao Haikuo flicked the ash off his cigarette and smiled smugly: "Easy to solve. I'll buy her a big gold bracelet later."
Yao Yiyao: “…”
……
River dam, bungalow.
Jiang Ning brought Tong and Chu back home. After kicking the old man on the street, they were still leisurely buying beef and vegetables without any sense of avoiding the limelight.
After getting off the car, Xue Chuchu came to Tongtong's house to help prepare the ingredients and summarized the incident as usual.
"Jiang Ning, you are too impulsive..." Xue Chuchu said softly, her hands moving non-stop to wash the cabbage.
Jiang Ning sat beside him, eating melon seeds. He knew Chuchu's worries: "Quick, Chuchu, judge my seven sins."
Xue Chuchu's tone choked, and the words she had prepared were stuck.
"I think what I did was right." Jiang Ning said, "Do you remember when we asked about the price of Ding Ding Candy, there was a little girl wearing a pink cotton jacket nearby?"
"Yeah." Xue Chuchu certainly remembered that if it weren't for the old man's warning look, the little girl would probably have directly stopped them from buying Ding Ding Candy to avoid being cheated.
Xue Yuantong washed the tomatoes Jiang Ning gave her: "The old man is so fierce, I'm so afraid he will hit me with a hammer!"
Xue Chuchu praised: "The little girl is very courageous. There are still many kind people in the world."
Jiang Ning said, "This old man must have cheated someone before. I kicked him and injured him. He will definitely not be able to cheat people again in the future. So I am acting bravely, right?"
Xue Yuantong supported: "Last time Jiang Ning acted bravely and was awarded a banner and 1,000 yuan!"
Xue Chuchu looked at the two people's glorious appearance, and her mood was inexplicably gloomy.
She had stopped meddling in other people's affairs a long time ago. Previously, when she was riding her bike home from school, she encountered a domestic violence incident, but she did not try to stop it.
Xue Chuchu realizes her own shame, but she would rather be considered a shameful person by her good friends. She continued:
"Tongtong, have you ever thought about what you can gain if you do something brave and sacrifice your life for it?"
Xue Yuantong suddenly froze.
Xue Chuchu kept talking: "You will get grief-stricken parents, a broken family, and praise from netizens for a while, and then... it will be a cold tombstone."
Her expression became colder: "Is this worth it?"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "You didn't say it all. We can still have a feast for our relatives and friends."
Xue Yuantong raised his hand: "I'll sit at the table with the kids!"
The serious atmosphere that Xue Chuchu had worked so hard to create suddenly collapsed, and even she couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Ning restrained his smile and said calmly: "For ordinary people, that would be the result, but I am Jiang Ning."
"If I help someone, I'll at least get a banner and a bonus of 1,000 yuan."
Xue Chuchu had no choice but to glance at Tongtong.
Xue Yuantong understood her too well. As a good sister, she knew that Chuchu needed her help.
Jiang Ning tempted: "One thousand yuan, Tongtong, if I give you the money, how many delicious foods can you buy?"
Xue Yuantong swallowed and controlled his impulse.
Her face gradually became solemn, and she said seriously: "But, Jiang Ning, what I want is for you to come home for dinner, not a useless thousand yuan."
……
Xue Chuchu gave Tongtong a thumbs up in her heart. What she said was very good. Jiang Ning would at least be touched, right?
Finally, Jiang Ning said, "Oh? One thousand yuan is not important? Then can you give me the one thousand yuan you have?"
Xue Yuantong was shocked when he heard this: "How do you know I have a thousand yuan?"
Jiang Ning was of course aware that before Aunt Gu returned to the village today, she had given her a considerable sum of New Year's money. This girl was actually hiding some of her own money behind his back. How bold of her!
Jiang Ning knew that girls tend to be bad when they have money, so he asked, "Are you going to give it to me or not?"
Xue Yuantong: "Humph, do you think I'm a bank and ask for a thousand dollars?"
"Okay." Jiang Ning said, "I don't really need this thousand, I just want an attitude..."
At this moment, Xue Chuchu felt that he was so hypocritical.
"Since you don't want to, I don't have to share Dongdong's share of the labor with you. I originally wanted to give you 51% of the shares so that you would have a veto power..."
Xue Yuantong pouted and took out her small purse: "Here you go."
Jiang Ning accepted it with satisfaction and congratulated: "Congratulations to Tongtong for becoming the chairman of Niuma Dongdong Co., Ltd."
Xue Chuchu next to him complained: "51% of the shares, Dongdong was obviously defeated by you, it's useless for Tongtong to have more shares!"
……
In Class 8, a heated debate was going on in the class group. The cause was that Meng Ziyun posted a circle of friends saying that someone treated her to hot pot.
Cao Kun was deeply offended after seeing this, so he said in the group: "Giving gifts is not a happy thing nowadays. Sometimes I give gifts, but the other party's reaction really makes me feel that it is not worth it."
Guo Kunnan: "Many girls don't post on their Moments after receiving gifts."
These words touched Cao Kun's heart, and he praised them repeatedly.
The master in the group, Lu Qiqi, hit back hard: "No way, someone in the group is playing tricks on me? Are the gifts you bought very expensive? Do you really want me to post on WeChat Moments? Gifts worth tens or hundreds of dollars, and you still want me to post on WeChat Moments? This is ridiculous!"
After a strong output, Lu Qiqi saw that no one refuted her, so she asked back: "What's wrong, are you mute?"
Still no one refuted.
Lu Qiqi returned to the list and found that her QQ space had been updated. She clicked on it and saw that Xue Yuantong had posted a photo of her newly bought succulent plants, with the caption: [Jiang Ning took me to the flower and bird market and bought it for me (grin)]
Cao Kun commented: "It's great."
Guo Kunnan: “Support!”
Lu Qiqi was choking with anger. If it were usual, she would have criticized them, but now she was speechless. After all, she had just been rescued by Jiang Ning and the others last night.
As the leader of Class 8, Xue Yuantong's post immediately attracted a lot of attention.
For example, Chen Qian.
Chen Qian was studying in his bedroom. He was looking at the picture of succulents posted by Xue Yuantong on the screen.
Although it was winter vacation, Xue Yuantong was the strongest student in No. 4 Middle School, so Chen Qian regarded him as a rival and had been secretly observing him.
Xue Yuantong’s circle of friends is very interesting. He ate grilled fish today, strawberries tomorrow, duck feet stew the day after tomorrow, and hot pot the day after tomorrow... Now he posted photos of succulents. He seems to be enjoying himself completely, without any awareness of danger in times of peace!
Chen Qian suddenly laughed, and it was a heartfelt laugh.
Studying is like sailing against the current. If you don’t move forward, you will fall behind. What is winter vacation? Winter vacation is for hard work!
Xue Yuantong was having fun while he was studying hard. Everything would be different when school started!
Chen Qian picked up his Chinese textbook and recited classical Chinese.
Today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the day for visiting relatives. There was a knock on Chen Qian's door. After his parents opened the door, two relatives led the children into the living room, and soon the house became lively.
Many young people nowadays tend to be averse to visiting relatives, whether they are visiting relatives' homes or having relatives come to their homes.
The people who came to visit today were my uncle's family. They are rather stingy. For New Year's Day, they only brought a box of milk, the most ordinary Mengniu milk. Then they put on their shoes and stepped directly on the floor that Chen Qian's house had just mopped.
The cousin, who was a few years old, was even more of a kid. He looked around as soon as he entered the door. Chen Qian's parents helped find snacks to serve him.
My aunt-in-law asked, "Where's Qianzi? Did he go out to play?"
At this time, Chen Qian walked out of the room holding his textbook.
My aunt-in-law said, "Qianzi, you study hard every day. How many points did you get in the final exam? Our neighbor is studying in Yuzhou No. 2 Middle School. I heard that he got more than 600 points in the city-wide unified exam. He can go to a key university!"
Some relatives always like to use other people's families as examples.
Chen Qian responded calmly: "I'm six hundred and thirty-five."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene froze for a moment.
My aunt-in-law quickly said, "Well, it's not bad, but it's still some distance away from Tsinghua University and Peking University..."
Chen Qian glanced at his little cousin who was running around the room with snacks in his arms. Chen Qian remembered that his computer keyboard was once broken into pieces after his little cousin spilled a drink on it.
The aunt-in-law said that he was just a child, so Chen Qian had to let the matter go.
Now, Chen Qian asked: "He is still as naughty as before. How are his grades? The kid next door always gets 100 points on the test."
My aunt's face darkened: "He is still young..."
Chen Qian: "It's said on TV that we must start from childhood."
After that, he took out his phone and shared a few negative examples of raising children in the family group, and even mentioned @小姨妈:
"Four signs that your child will be unfilial in the future. The second one must be corrected immediately!"
"If parents have these 4 characteristics, their children will most likely be unfilial when they grow up"
"Why is your child unfilial? You did it wrong from the first day of his holiday!"
My aunt-in-law's face darkened even more. She was very annoyed: "You know so much, and your grades are so good, OK, you can help me take care of the children!"
Therefore, Chen Qian, who was obsessed with studying, called his little cousin who was about to make trouble and taught him to recite "Yueyang Tower Inscription".
Soon, the sound of reading aloud could be heard in the living room.
The little cousin was completely confused. Didn’t he come here to play?
