Chen Tingting was happy for Cao Huifang from the bottom of her heart, but she was also a little bit sad.
Especially at this time, Cao Huifang's family made a special trip to spend the Spring Festival with her, and his family would definitely not be able to make it.
Other colleagues also noticed what was going on here and asked them what happened.
When Chen Tingting told them that Cao Huifang's family had come all the way from her hometown to spend the Spring Festival with her, a group of people in the process engineering office felt a variety of emotions.
Without comparison, there would be no awareness of the differences.
At this moment, everyone was no longer interested in chatting.
As for going to Wal-Mart for dinner together tomorrow to celebrate the Spring Festival, no one mentioned it at this time.
Fang Zhu heard the commotion outside and came out to ask what happened. Fang Zhu was really surprised to learn that Cao Huifang's family had come all the way to spend the Spring Festival with her.
She was very rational, thinking that the traveling expenses for her family would be quite high when they came from Dongshan Province, Cao Huifang’s hometown, but they just wanted to spend the New Year with Cao Huifang. How willful they were!
At this time, Fang Zhu was a little curious and wanted to meet Cao Huifang's family.
She guessed that Cao Huifang's family must not be short of money, otherwise how could the family travel on the fly?
For Cao Huifang, after receiving the call from her brother, the rest of the time was filled with suffering. After finally getting off work, Cao Huifang said hello to her colleagues, picked up her things, and ran towards the company parking lot.
She has never been so eager to see her parents, eldest brother and sister-in-law as at this moment.
"There are also Mengmeng and Ruirui. I wonder how they are doing now. Can Ruirui call her aunt?" Cao Huifang had various thoughts in her mind.
In the process engineering department office, other colleagues saw Cao Huifang running out of the office like a gust of wind, and they all looked at each other.
But they can all understand Cao Huifang's current mood and why she is so anxious to go back.
If it were them, if their relatives came over and told them that they wanted to spend the New Year with them in Shenzhen, they would only run faster than Cao Huifang.
"Sister Fangfang is so lucky. In order to celebrate the New Year with Sister Fangfang, her family came to Shenzhen from their hometown. The travel expenses alone cost a lot of money, right?" Liao Fei was full of envy.
But there was no other way, and she knew without even thinking that her family would not come over.
Wei Xinlei was also a little disappointed at this time. He also asked the remaining four people: "Qualcomm, Chen Tingting, Liao Fei, Man Xiyun, shall we go to Wal-Mart tomorrow?"
"Go, why don't you go? There are only five of us left to celebrate the New Year together. Let's have some fun together." Gaotong said.
Chen Tingting and the other three women also nodded. Chen Tingting also suggested: "Let's go to Wal-Mart to have the seafood buffet tomorrow night for the New Year's Eve dinner."
"I read on Meituan that the seafood buffet in Walmart is not delicious. If you really want to eat at the buffet, I heard that Sheraton also has a buffet. It is said that it is the real thing. Otherwise, let's go there to eat." Man Xi
Yun said.
"Sister Man, is the buffet at the Sheraton very expensive?" Liao Fei asked her.
Man Xiyun nodded: "I think one person on Meituan costs more than 120 yuan. There are things on display there, and the prices are not cheap."
"Hey, I thought it was several hundred dollars, it's only over 100 yuan. Let's go to the Sheraton. Anyway, it's just this luxury during the Chinese New Year. Do you think it's okay?" Chen Tingting breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the price.
Although their wages are lower than Cao Huifang's, they still get around 4,000.
In addition, during the Spring Festival, you can get three salary or double salary, as well as holiday allowances. This month's salary is at least 5,000 yuan.
Those with higher wages can get even higher incomes, so it doesn't matter if they have something extravagant tomorrow night.
"Okay, if you all agree, I'll call now to make reservations." Man Xiyun said.
Several people agreed.
Fang Zhu and Lan Yufu looked at the five of them with envy. They were all single and could do whatever they wanted.
They can't do it. They have families and children. Although they also want to join in the fun with these five young people, family is still the most important thing at this time.
After Man Xiyun made the call, she told Chen Tingting, Wei Xinlei and the others with some disappointment: "Sheraton can make reservations during the Spring Festival, but group purchase tickets cannot be used."
The good news is that the price without group purchase is only 138 yuan, which is only 10 yuan more than the group purchase price.
"It doesn't matter, it's only 10 yuan more, let's go try something good." Liao Fei didn't care.
She said: "I usually eat buffets that are in the 40s and 50s, but nothing real."
"That's it." Several people agreed.
…
Cao Huifang really didn't know that several of her colleagues were going to the Sheraton for a buffet tomorrow night.
She was driving the car eagerly towards the Sheraton Hotel.
The Sheraton Hotel was not far away on her way back to the community.
She understood why her parents, elder brother and sister-in-law lived in the Sheraton.
In about half an hour, Cao Huifang drove over and parked the car following the staff's instructions. Cao Huifang couldn't wait to call her elder brother.
But when she couldn't get through, Cao Huifang called her sister-in-law Cheng Xiaolin again, and this time she got through.
"Fangfang, are you here?" came the voice of sister-in-law Cheng Xiaolin.
Cao Huifang responded and asked which floor her sister-in-law was on?
After waiting for Cheng Xiaolin to finish speaking, Cao Huifang hurriedly walked into the hall.
It was also her first time to come to Sheraton and she didn't know where the room her sister-in-law mentioned was, but there was a front desk clerk.
When she went over to ask, the other party explained things clearly to her, and Cao Huifang trotted to take the escalator up.
As the elevator went up, Cao Huifang's heart was still pounding, and she felt like a wanderer who has been wandering for a long time returns home and feels shy about being close to home.
Arriving on the 16th floor, Cao Huifang started looking for the house number her sister-in-law told her.
Before I could find it, I suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the corner ahead: "Linlin, why are you calling me?"
"Mom, let me tell you something. Wait a moment..."
She originally wanted to say that her sister-in-law Cao Huifang would come over after a while.
But before she could say anything, she heard someone shouting: "Mom, sister-in-law."
Then there was a rapid sound of stamping on the ground, and Cao Huifang appeared beside them.
Wang Yuelan was stunned for a long time when she saw her daughter suddenly appearing next to her.
Cheng Xiaolin thought her mother-in-law was angry that her sister-in-law didn't come home during the Chinese New Year and was still sulking, so she advised her: "Mom, Fangfang must also want to go home during the Chinese New Year, but when you receive someone else's salary, you have to follow their rules.
There’s nothing she can do if there’s no holiday here.”
"When Fangfang starts her own business in the future, she can rest as much as she wants."
Wang Yuelan was amused by her daughter-in-law, but when she turned to look at her daughter, she turned serious and said, "She's the only one who's doing it by herself. She doesn't even know she's home, so throw her away."
"Mom." Cao Huifang felt very aggrieved when she heard her mother say this.
He walked up to her mother and hugged her, as if she wanted to cry out her grievances.
Seeing her daughter like this, Wang Yuelan felt uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Cao Huifang has been tempered to be very strong now and did not cry in the end.
Instead, Wang Yuelan began to wipe away tears.
A staff member from the Sheraton Hotel nearby heard the commotion and ran over to see what happened.
Cheng Xiaolin told them it was okay, then took her mother-in-law and sister-in-law's arms and asked them to go into the room to talk.
"Mom, where is my dad?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her mother-in-law.
Wang Yuelan said she was still in the house, and Cheng Xiaolin went to the opposite door and knocked on the door again, calling her father-in-law over.
When Cao Shujie saw his sister coming, his mother looked like she was about to cry and felt a headache.
Everyone is immersed in the sadness of long separation and the joy of just meeting. This is a very contradictory atmosphere.
But no one expected that this contradictory atmosphere would be broken by Mengmeng's words.
"Auntie, I've finally met you. Please pay me back quickly. I want 10 pieces of 200 yuan." Mengmeng shouted to her aunt.
Cao Huifang was immediately stunned.
When did she owe Mengmeng money?
Not to mention Cao Huifang, even Cao Shujie and the others didn't react.
On the contrary, Wang Yuelan reacted the fastest and said to her daughter: "You still owe Mengmeng 2,000 yuan, give it to her quickly."
"I..." Cao Huifang felt wronged.
Unexpectedly, she not only owed her niece money, but also a huge amount of money like 2,000 yuan.
This is equivalent to 1/3 of her monthly salary.
The more I thought about it, the more depressed I became: "Mengmeng, when did I owe you money?"
Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin didn't react either. They thought hard and couldn't figure it out.
Then I heard Mengmeng say: "I got 100 points in Chinese and Mathematics in the final exam. My parents and grandparents gave me a red envelope of 200 yuan. Grandpa also gave me a red envelope. Auntie, you were not at home at the time. Grandma said
If I ask you again after we meet, you have to give me 10 pieces worth 200 yuan."
She didn't know how to say 2,000 yuan, so she remembered it 10 times.
After listening to Mengmeng's messy words, Cao Shujie realized what was going on.
He didn't expect that his daughter would still remember it.
Cheng Xiaolin understood immediately and quickly told her daughter not to mess around.
But Wang Yuelan disagreed. She had promised her granddaughter that she would personally ask her daughter Cao Huifang for payment.
At this moment, Cao Huifang saw her parents, eldest brother, sister-in-law, nieces and nephews in front of her, and she didn't care about 2,000 yuan at all.
He took out a long brown wallet directly from the bag he was carrying, and then took out all the red banknotes inside. Without counting them, he handed them to Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, do you count enough? If not,
, I will go get the money and make up for you tomorrow."
Compared with her parents, elder brother and sister-in-law coming here to spend the New Year with her, this little money is nothing.
"Hee hee!" Mengmeng took the money her aunt gave her unceremoniously, holding it in her hand and looking back and forth. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
Cheng Xiaolin also wanted her daughter to return the money, but Mengmeng disagreed, and Wang Yuelan even more disagreed.
Cao Huifang will not ask for this money again.
"Sister-in-law, let Mengmeng take it. I usually don't go back, and I didn't know you were coming today. I didn't buy anything for them in advance. Let them see what they like and buy it themselves."
"Ah, ah." Cao Yirui saw his sister holding a handful of red banknotes in her hand, which looked quite beautiful, so he stretched out his hand to want them too.
But he was still too young, and Cheng Xiaolin would not let her son catch the money.
He glared at Mengmeng and said, "Mengmeng, put it away quickly."
"Oh, okay, hehe, I have money." Mengmeng happily folded the money and put it in her trouser pocket.
She also told her mother to put it in her schoolbag later, take it home and lock it in a piggy bank.
"You little brat, what do you need so much money for?" Cao Shujie said to his daughter.
But Mengmeng was not happy yet: "Dad, you are a little brat, I want money for you."
Seeing Mengmeng's unwillingness to admit defeat, Cao Shujie felt happy from the bottom of his heart and stopped talking nonsense with his daughter.
Let his sister sit down and the family chat together.
Wang Yuelan was listening to her daughter complain about how busy she was at work, sometimes not getting off work at 10 o'clock, and then she understood why her daughter didn't answer the phone when she called her before.
Thinking of this, she began to feel sorry for Cao Huifang again.
He kept saying that it was so busy here and if it didn't work, he would just go back and find a place to work. Why would he suffer here?
"Mom, you don't understand. This is what I studied. This company is still very advanced in packaging technology. If I study hard, I can also pick up what I learned."
"Our factory will be listed in the next two years. Our leader also told me that I can buy the original shares in July this year. If I wait until the listing, the original shares will be valuable." Cao Huifang told her parents.
But obviously, her parents didn't understand.
Cao Shujie didn't expect that his sister was quite lucky.
"Your company is going to be listed soon? What's its name?" Cao Shujie asked her.
"Yifang Semiconductor Packaging Co., Ltd." Cao Huifang said to her brother again.
Cao Shujie thought about it carefully, but it didn't match up with the listed companies in his impression.
Having said that, there are thousands of listed companies in the stock market, and it's normal for him to have trouble remembering them.
"Forget it, let's not discuss this." Cao Shujie opened a suitcase, which was filled with things he brought from home for his sister.
A box full.
"Fangfang, these are the New Year's goods that our parents made for you yesterday. They are all brought here for you. You can take these things to your place where you live later and store them in the refrigerator. The temperature is high here.
, it won’t last long before it goes bad.” Cao Shujie told his sister.
When Cao Huifang saw a box full of fried goods and braised pork, and smelled the familiar aroma, she felt even more ashamed.
Cheng Xiaolin saw the expression on her sister-in-law's face and could roughly guess what her sister-in-law was thinking, so she said: "Fangfang, no matter what, you should go home in the future."
"You just need to remember that no matter whether you do well or not well outside, you will come back during the Chinese New Year. Do you understand?"
Listening to her sister-in-law's simple words, Cao Huifang became more and more excited. She nodded fiercely: "Sister-in-law, I will definitely go back for the Chinese New Year next year."
"Well, that's right." Cheng Xiaolin said.
During this delay, it became dark outside.
We didn't eat anything on the plane at noon. When we arrived at the hotel, we were just waiting for Cao Huifang. The whole family was hungry, and Cao Shujie asked them what they wanted to eat.
But they are not familiar with this place and don't know what delicious food there is.
On the contrary, Cao Huifang was now considered a half-landowner, and Mengmeng was very smart and asked her aunt to find a place to eat.
It's just that the places Cao Huifang usually eats are very ordinary food stalls or street restaurants. She has never been to any high-end places.
Now that the family is finally reunited, why should we have a good meal, right?
With this thought in her mind, Cao Huifang suddenly remembered that the Sheraton originally had a restaurant, and she told her elder brother and sister-in-law about it.
Cao Shujie thought for a while: "Okay, let's eat at the Sheraton today and eat somewhere else tomorrow night."
After coming out of the room, I asked the waiter and went directly to the restaurant on the second floor.
Even eating could not stop Wang Yuelan from talking to her daughter.
Even though she had a lot of complaints about her daughter before coming here, when she actually saw her, all those complaints in Wang Yuelan's heart disappeared.
Cheng Xiaolin also chatted with her sister-in-law.
Cao Shujie and his father were drinking.
There wasn’t a lot of drinking, it was mainly for the family to get together and enjoy the atmosphere.
Cao Huifang also asked why they came here, and then heard her niece Mengmeng loudly saying that she came here to travel.
"You come here to travel. There are not many places to play here, and I don't have a holiday. Otherwise, I will go with you." Cao Huifang said this.
Mengmeng was puzzled: "Auntie, can't you ask for leave? If you don't ask for leave, you'll probably quit. What's the big deal?"
Cao Shujie gave his daughter a thumbs up, thinking that if his daughter went to look for a job outside the country in the future, she would definitely be in trouble.
Mengmeng still didn't know why her father was slandering her in his heart, but her words made Cao Huifang feel moved.
Considering that it would not be easy for her parents, brothers and sister-in-law to come, it would be a bit unethical for her to not be able to ask for leave.
"Okay, I will ask for leave from my boss tomorrow." Cao Huifang made up her mind.
