The living room was filled with all kinds of gifts, making the space a bit cluttered. Yao Yiyao squatted on the ground and took inventory carefully.
Suddenly, there was movement at the door. Yao Haikuo stepped into the living room carrying a red gift box. He said with a bold voice: "The hairy crabs are all four to five taels of female crabs!"
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's smile did not diminish, and he shook off his leather shoes twice.
Yao Yiyao: "Dad, isn't it cheap?"
Yao Haikuo didn't care: "Eight, four hundred yuan, it's more expensive."
He took over the job of Evergreen Liquid this year, and his engineering team worked overtime. He originally thought he could only get two to three hundred. After all, in their line of work, it is normal for them to be owed project payments. Who knows that the work is not finished yet?
The payment for Changqing Liquid came directly!
Yao Haikuo finally knows what the strength of a big company is!
When making money is flowing like water, he doesn't care about spending a little money. Yao Haikuo looked at the gifts on the ground: "Yao Yao, how much is the total? Dad will reimburse you!"
"More than six thousand, please give me eight thousand." Yao Yiyao took the opportunity to ask for an extra sum.
Yao Haikuo waved his hand: "I'll give you ten thousand later!"
The father and daughter chatted happily. These gifts were all prepared for Jiang Ning. They had already made an appointment to visit at noon today.
Mother Yao's frown deepened. She was dressed in dark-colored clothes, showing off the temperament of a small leader in the system: "Didn't I go there once before? Go again?"
Yao Yiyao didn't say anything. Her mother was very strong at home and kept telling the truth. She had been afraid since she was a child and her life was under her mother's control.
Yao Haikuo also didn't say that although he could make some money doing engineering in the past, he didn't make much. If we really talk about social status, he was actually not as good as his wife, a junior middle-level leader in the system.
Yao's mother continued: "You have to maintain my father's network, it will be good for your project. The day before yesterday, Bureau Li planned to treat a guest, saying that you have done well recently, and his son is talking about Yaoyao..."
Yao Haikuo laughed dryly. Director Li was his father-in-law's old subordinate. In order to get projects, he used to give benefits to Director Li and drink with him, but the results were not satisfactory.
Because her mother is in the system, Yao Yiyao has been exposed to peers with similar backgrounds. Not all of them are as easy to get along with as Lou Keke. Many relationships are complicated and complicated, and she had many conflicts when she was a child.
Some children with low-status parents please children with high-status parents and compare themselves with each other.
At that time, people in many positions could only earn dead wages, and their living conditions were really not that good. However, Yao Yiyao's mother was in the system, and her father worked in engineering to make money, so the family conditions were quite good.
In the past, she wore a nice dress and was scolded by the 'eldest sister' in that circle. When she ran away from home, many people laughed at her. There are very few people in the world who really wish you well.
Rather than attending that kind of dinner party, Yao Yiyao would rather go to Heba to hang out with Jiang Ning and the others. She sincerely believes that whether it is the handsome Jiang Ning or the cooking-savvy Xue Yuantong, they are really talented.
Mother Yao taught me a lesson: "It was enough to buy so many things before, but I also gave a lot of gifts during the Chinese New Year..."
Originally, Yao Yiyao thought that her father would let her mother scold him like he always did, but the next second, Yao Haikuo suddenly shouted: "Shut up now!"
Mother Yao's expression froze for a moment, she didn't expect him to dare to talk back.
Yao Haikuo was extremely angry and exploded on the spot: "Damn it, have you ruined your brain by doing your job? Can you open your eyes and see the outside world? Jiang Ning saved my life and Yaoyao's life! Then what the hell is that?
My life!"
The anger that had been suppressed for more than ten years suddenly poured out: "That was a life-saving grace!"
Yao Haikuo: "Yao Yao, please listen to me. Jiang Ning saved our lives. I can't repay you enough in the future. I have to go every year. I must go!"
Yao Yiyao nodded.
Yao Haikuo left a message: "Take your things and let's go now!"
Then, under the eyes of Yao's mother in disbelief, the two of them decided to go out.
In the car.
Yao Yiyao looked at her father, as if she had gotten to know him all over again.
Yao Haikuo has calmed down, and he said in a harmonious voice: "Yao Yao, can you smoke a cigarette?"
"Open the window." Yao Yiyao said.
Yao Haikuo lit up his cigarette with a smile.
"Dad, you were so handsome just now!" Yao Yiyao admired her. In the past, her mother was a lawless tigress in her eyes, 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 has been depressed for a long time, but today is different from the past. He contracted the Evergreen Liquid project and signed a contract for follow-up cooperation. With an income of several million a year, he does not have to depend on others' faces to live his life.
Someone in Yuzhou officials dares to slow down the progress of Changqingye project? It’s a fucking life-threatening situation! So a small leader is nothing in front of him?
The improvement of social status will inevitably lead to changes in the voice of the family.
Yao Haikuo: "I will have the final say at home from now on."
Yao Yiyao was happy for a while and then asked: "My mother, how are you going to solve it?"
She thought her father would be tough to the end.
As a result, Yao Haikuo flicked the cigarette ashes and smiled proudly: "It's easy to solve. I'll buy her a big gold bracelet later."
Yao Yiyao: “…”
…
River dam, bungalow.
Jiang Ning brought Tong and Chu home. After kicking the little old man on the street, they bought beef and vegetables in a leisurely manner, without any consciousness of avoiding the limelight.
After getting out of the car, Xue Chuchu came to Tongtong's house to help process the ingredients, and at the same time summarized the incident as usual.
"Jiang Ning, you are too impulsive..." Xue Chuchu spoke softly and kept moving her hands to clean the cabbage.
Jiang Ning was sitting next to him eating melon seeds. He knew Chu Chu's worries: "Quick, Chu, judge me for the seven deadly sins."
Xue Chuchu's tone was choked, and the words she had planned were stuck.
"I think I did the right thing." 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?"
"Yes." Xue Chuchu certainly remembered that if it weren't for the warning in the old man's eyes, the little girl would have directly stopped them and prevented them from buying Ding Ding candies to avoid being tricked.
Xue Yuantong cleaned the tomatoes Jiang Ning gave her: "The old man is so cruel. I'm so afraid that he will hit me with a hammer!"
Xue Chuchu praised: "The little girl is very courageous. There are still many kind-hearted people in the world."
Jiang Ning said: "This little old man must have deceived others. I was kicked by the old man and injured him. He will definitely not be able to lie to others in the future, so I am acting bravely, right?"
Xue Yuantong supported: "Last time Jiang Ning acted bravely and received a banner and a thousand yuan!"
Xue Chuchu looked at the glorious appearance of the two people, and her mood was inexplicably gloomy.
A long time ago, she stopped meddling in other people's own affairs. When she was riding her bike home from school, she encountered a domestic violence incident, but she did not stop it.
Xue Chuchu realized that she was "shameful", but she would rather be considered a "shameful" person by her good friends. She continued:
"Tongtong, but have you ever thought about what you can gain if you act bravely and sacrifice your life for justice?"
Xue Yuantong suddenly froze.
Xue Chuchu kept talking: "He will be praised by grief-stricken parents, broken families, and netizens for a period of time, and then... there will be a cold tombstone."
Her expression became colder and colder: "Is this worth it?"
Jiang Ning smiled and said: "What you said is not complete, relatives and friends can still have a feast."
Xue Yuantong raised his hand: "I'll sit at the children's table!"
The serious atmosphere that Xue Chuchu had managed to create suddenly collapsed, and even she couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Ning suppressed his smile and said in a calm voice: "It's like that for ordinary people, but I am Jiang Ning."
"If I help someone, I will at least get a banner and a thousand yuan bonus."
Xue Chuchu had no choice but to look at Tongtong.
Xue Yuantong understands her very well. As a good sister, she knows that Chu Chu needs her assistance.
Jiang Ning puzzled: "It's a thousand yuan, Tongtong, if I give you the money, how much delicious food can you buy?"
Xue Yuantong swallowed and controlled his impulse.
Her little face gradually became solemn, and she said seriously: "But, Jiang Ning, what I want is for you to go home for dinner, not a useless thousand yuan."
…
Xue Chuchu praised Tongtong in her heart. She said it so well. Jiang Ning would at least be moved, right?
As a result, Jiang Ning said: "Oh? One thousand yuan is not important? Then can you give me the one thousand yuan you have?"
As soon as these words came out, Xue Yuantong was shocked: "How did you know that I have one thousand yuan?"
Of course Jiang Ning knew that before Aunt Gu returned to the village today, she specially gave her a lot of New Year's money. Now this girl would actually hide her private money behind his back. It was so bold.
Jiang Ning knew that girls tend to become bad when they have money, so he asked: "Are you going to give it to me?"
Xue Yuantong: "Huh, do you think I'm a bank and ask for a thousand dollars?"
"Okay." Jiang Ning said: "Actually, I don't really lack 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 need to share Dongdong's labor share with you in the future. I originally wanted to give you 51% of the shares, giving you a veto power..."
Xue Yuantong curled her lips and took out her small purse: "Here you go."
Jiang Ning accepted it with satisfaction and congratulated: "Congratulations to Tongtong on becoming the largest chairman of Niuma Dongdong Co., Ltd.!"
Xue Chuchu, who was standing next to her, slandered: "You have 51% of the shares. Dongdong was obviously defeated by you. It's useless no matter how many shares Tongtong has!"
…
In Class 8, the class was having a heated argument. The trigger was that Meng Ziyun posted on WeChat Moments, saying that someone invited her to eat hot pot.
After Cao Kun saw it, he was deeply stimulated, so he spoke in the group and said: "Giving gifts is not a happy thing now. Sometimes I give gifts, but the other person's reaction is really not worth it."
Guo Kunnan: “Many girls don’t post on their WeChat Moments at all after receiving gifts.”
This sentence touched Cao Kun's heart, and he praised him repeatedly.
The master in the group, Lu Qiqi, struck hard: "No, some people in the group are in Yin and Yang? Are the gifts you bought expensive? Do you want me to send them to Moments? Do you still want me to give you dozens or hundreds of gifts?
Posting on Moments? Is it funny?"
After a powerful attack, Lu Qiqi saw no one to refute, so she asked: "What's wrong? Are you mute?"
Still no one refuted.
Lu Qiqi returned to the list and found that the QQ space had been updated. She clicked in and saw that it was Xue Yuantong who showed off her newly bought succulents with the words: [Jiang Ning took me to the flower and bird market and bought it for me (baring his teeth and smiling)]
Cao Kun commented: "It's really good."
Guo Kunnan: "Support!"
Lu Qiqi was speechless. Normally she would have criticized her, but now she was speechless. After all, she was rescued by Jiang Ning and the others last night.
As the leader of Class 8, Xue Yuantong immediately attracted the attention of many people when he posted news.
For example, Chen Qian.
Chen Qian was studying in his bedroom. He looked at the photos of succulents posted by Xue Yuantong on the screen.
Although it is winter vacation, Chen Qian regards Xue Yuantong as the strongest student in No. 4 Middle School and has been secretly observing him.
Xue Yuantong's circle of friends is very exciting. Today he ate grilled fish, tomorrow he ate strawberries, the day after tomorrow he ate duck feet stew, and the day after tomorrow he ate hot pot... and now he ate succulents. He was totally enjoying himself, without any awareness of danger in times of peace!
Chen Qian suddenly laughed, and he smiled sincerely.
Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. And what is winter vacation? Winter vacation is for hard work!
Xue Yuantong is having fun, and he is studying hard. When school starts, everything will be different!
Chen Qian held up his Chinese textbook and recited classical Chinese.
Today, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, is the day to visit relatives. There was a knock on the door of Chen Qian's house. After his parents opened the door, two relatives led their children into the living room. Soon, the house became lively.
Nowadays, many young people tend to dislike visiting relatives, whether they are visiting relatives' homes or having relatives come to their own home.
Today we are visiting my uncle's family. Their family is quite stingy. They only brought a carton of milk, the most ordinary Mengniu milk, for the Chinese New Year. Then they put on their shoes and stepped on the freshly mopped floor of Chen Qian's house.
My cousin, who is a few years old, is even more of a fussy kid. He looked around as soon as he entered the door. Chen Qian’s parents helped him find snacks to serve him.
My aunt asked: "Where is Qianzi? Have you gone out to play?"
At this time, Chen Qian held the textbook and walked out of the room.
My aunt then said: "Qianzi, look at how many points you got in the final exam this time because you study every day. Our neighbor is studying in Yuzhou No. 2 Middle School. I heard that the city's unified examination got a score of more than 600.
Can go to a key university!"
Some relatives always like to give examples to others.
Chen Qian responded calmly: "I am six hundred and thirty-five."
As soon as these words came out, the scene froze for a moment.
My aunt quickly said: "Hey, it's not bad, but it's still some distance from Qingbei..."
Chen Qian glanced at his little cousin who was running around the room holding snacks. Chen Qian remembered that his computer keyboard was immediately scrapped after his little cousin spilled a drink.
The younger aunt said that he was just a child, so Chen Qian had no choice but to let it go.
Now, Chen Qian asked: "He is still the same as before, how are his grades? The kid next door to us got a hundred points in the test."
My aunt's face darkened: "He's still young..."
Chen Qian: “It’s said on TV that we must start from childhood.”
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and shared several negative cases about raising children with the rest of the group, and specially @小aunt:
"Four signs that children will be unfilial in the future, the second one must be corrected immediately!"
"If parents have these four characteristics, their children will most likely be unfilial when they grow up."
"Why is your child not filial? You have done something wrong since the first day of his vacation!"
My aunt's face turned even darker. She was very angry: "You know so much and your grades are so good. Okay, you can help me take care of the child!"
So, Chen Qian, who was obsessed with learning, called his young cousin who was about to cause trouble and taught him to recite "The Story of Yueyang Tower".
Soon, the sound of reading aloud could be heard in the living room.
The little cousin was confused, wasn't he here to play?
