In the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve is coming, and another year has come to an end.
Shan You flew south and picked up his parents back to the imperial capital.
One after another, large boxes were delivered to the gate of Xinyuan by the courier company. Xue Ling asked the bodyguards to move them to the underground warehouse for storage.
Cheng Tianyuan came over with Xiaoshuang in his arms, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Why don't you send it to Xiaohuzi together? You have to move it when you need it, so don't you have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources?"
"There isn't enough room for little Huzi, and there are too many things brought." Xue Ling explained: "The nanny in the courtyard went on leave early, and Ahu and Wang Qing took care of the two children and had no time or energy to take care of them.
Room. Xiao Huzi is looking for a house for Shanyue and the others, and said that their things will be temporarily stored in Xinyuan, and they will move them there together when the location is confirmed."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded and asked, "Where did Xiao Huzi find them?"
"An apartment nearby." Xue Ling replied: "I heard that there is a courtyard house for rent in the back. Xiaohuzi has already contacted someone to contact him. I don't know if I can rent it. However, there is a large apartment that has been discussed in great detail.
If it's suitable, you can move in right away. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so we'll temporarily settle the couple here in Xinyuan, and then we can slowly pick a place."
Cheng Tianyuan frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask: "Why did you come here so late? It's almost the Chinese New Year, and time is so tight!"
"Don't mention it!" Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "I heard that something went wrong during the sale of the fishery. There was a big fuss and almost went to the police station. Fortunately, the two parties reached an agreement in the end and the matter did not end.
Big. After all, that is their base camp. If you want to pack everything up and come here to retire, it won’t be done in a short time.”
"More than half a month!" Cheng Tianyuan sneered lowly: "However, I am quite familiar with the behavior of Mr. and Mrs. Shanyue. As long as the matter falls into their hands, there will be no chance of a perfect and stable solution."
"Say less." Xue Ling chuckled: "They are all in their seventies, what else can you expect from them?"
Cheng Tianyuan looked at the large and small boxes in a truck and felt a little dizzy.
"No wonder they need to be placed in our Xinyuan...the pile would fill several rooms!"
Xue Ling lowered her voice: "I asked the housekeeping staff to clean up the two empty rooms and buy some bedding and daily necessities. Shanyue and his wife must have a large room. In addition, the father-in-law and mother-in-law also need a room. Yes.
Yes, Xiaoxiao’s sister also brought a colleague over. They are both girls, and I plan to arrange for them to live in the back garden."
"Yeah." Cheng Tianyuan nodded in approval: "It's better for girls to go to a quieter place, and it's more convenient."
Xue Ling explained in a gentle voice: "Originally, my parents-in-law and I booked a hotel, but they were a little late and couldn't find a good place. I contacted them and told them that the place at home is spacious, and unfortunately a cold wave has hit the imperial capital these days, making it very difficult to get in and out.
It’s convenient. If your place is empty, don’t be too polite. If you don’t give us a chance to show our kindness as landlords, we might get angry. After hearing this, our in-laws laughed and agreed to move in, and said they would stay there for about a week.
.”
"That's right!" Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "You come all the way to see your grandchildren, how can you let them live outside. It's expensive and troublesome, and it's not safe to run in and out in the cold. The garden is so wide, and the rooms are so wide.
There are so many, doesn’t it mean that they can be easily placed at any time when there are many people?”
"Yes!"
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is the third child? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"I was going to come back." Xue Ling replied: "Unfortunately, the company arranged a fan signing event for him, and he flew south. He said he would be able to return home in the evening."
Cheng Tianyuan laughed happily when he heard that his youngest son was finally coming back.
"Okay, let Lao Chen pick him up at the airport."
Xue Ling shook his head: "No, Mr. Qing will pick him up and have dinner together at home."
"Yeah!" Cheng Tianyuan said with an excited smile: "I haven't seen Ah Qing for a few days! Okay, okay! I'll go to the big kitchen and tell the kitchen to add more dishes and make some more delicate dishes."
Since the last time when my old father-in-law came back successfully with the help of Lin Qingzhi's plane, Lin Qingzhi has come to Xinyuan more often than before.
He is polite and courteous, has excellent temperament, and is approachable to others. Everyone has a favorable impression of him.
However, Lin Qingzhi is a busy man, and even if people want to have more opportunities to interact with him, they cannot always invite him, so there are not many opportunities to meet.
Xue Ling's eyes moved slightly, and she couldn't help but suggest: "I heard A Chong send a message on WeChat saying that Qing Shao's mother's feet were not very comfortable a while ago, and the doctor suggested that she go to the beach to recuperate, so his parents went to the southern hemisphere for vacation.
. It’s Chinese New Year, and they can’t come back yet. It’s Chinese New Year, and every household is celebrating reunion. Why don’t we invite him to have a lively reunion dinner with us tomorrow.”
"Okay!" Cheng Tianyuan smiled happily and said: "There are so many people and it's so lively! But - can the big kitchen make so many dishes? Lao Li said that there is a big cold wave in the north this New Year. He
The old guys couldn’t come over to help. Only he and Xiao Li worked overtime in the big kitchen, and there weren’t one or two more people to help. Mr. and Mrs. Sangoe, Ahu and his family, plus his in-laws and his family, and us.
We all, there are quite a lot of people there. The place is spacious enough, but the food is probably not enough to satisfy you!"
Xue Ling was also stumped!
"Fortunately, you warned me in time, otherwise there would be a lot of people gathered together and starving - that would be embarrassing! I'll go ask someone and see if I can find one or two more good chefs.
help."
"Go quickly!" Cheng Tianyuan urged.
Unexpectedly, Xue Ling still couldn't find a suitable candidate after asking around.
"During the Chinese New Year, many people have returned to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year. In addition, some of the good chefs left behind have been booked and cannot be spared at the moment."
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly called everyone in the family group and asked them to find a way to find one or two chefs, otherwise they would have to roll up their sleeves one by one to help cook.
Everyone was wailing and saying that they couldn't find anyone, so they suggested that they find a way to book a few tables in a big restaurant.
Some people came up with a bad idea, saying that they could simply buy a lot of barbecue food to grill, and everyone would cook and everyone would eat. In the end, there would be no need to wash the dishes, and they would just use disposable tableware and throw them away.
Xue Ling posted a "beat someone" emoticon, which scared the few brats who spoke into obedience.
After a while, Cheng Huanchong bubbled up!
"Aqing said that the two chefs in his old house have nothing to do. He asked them to bring a few young apprentices to show us their skills. They can come to Xinyuan to prepare tomorrow morning."
——So timely!
——It’s a timely help!
——Love you! Boop!
Several guys in the group who had been "beaten" reappeared and became lively again.
Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
