When Xiao Churan saw his mother's positive and flattering look in front of Ye Chen, he immediately looked helpless and couldn't help but muttered: "Mom...why did you become energetic as soon as Ye Chen came back?"
Ma Lan hurriedly said: "Nonsense! I'm not here to be energetic. I've been almost crazy with idleness these days. I'm suffocating with energy all over my body. I'm waiting for my good son-in-law to come back and cook a good meal for him.
!”
Xiao Churan sighed: "There's not even an egg in the kitchen, what are you doing for Marven?"
"Ah? Really?" Ma Lan asked in surprise: "Are there no vegetables in the refrigerator?"
Xiao Churan rolled his eyes: "There are only two small cabbages left, let dad make some noodles in the morning."
Ma Lan angrily cursed: "This Xiao Changkun, why should he eat the cabbage I bought? It's really unreasonable!"
Xiao Churan rubbed his temples: "Mom...the cabbage is almost rotten...Dad said it will rot if you don't eat it..."
Ma Lan quickly changed the subject and said, "Forget it, let's order food. Chu Ran, hurry up and see what's delicious and come back with more!"
After saying that, he said to Ye Chen with a smile on his face: "Ye Chen, you must be exhausted after being out for several days. Come on, hurry up and rest on the sofa!"
Xiao Churan felt this gap. Although he felt a little helpless, he was too lazy to argue with his mother, so he took out his mobile phone, opened the takeout app and started looking for food.
Ma Lan hurriedly invited Ye Chen to sit down on the sofa, serving tea and pouring water. Ye Chen asked her to stop working several times, but she just didn't want to, so she made Ye Chen a cup of tea with her crutch.
After handing the brewed tea to Ye Chen, she asked with a smile: "Ye Chen, how was your trip to Yanjing this time? Did everything go well?"
"It went very smoothly." Ye Chen replied casually.
Ma Lan hurriedly asked: "Oh, I should have made a lot of money this time!"
Ye Chen said casually: "This time the employer was a little tight on funds, so he didn't give me any money."
"Ah?" When Ma Lan heard this, he was filled with indignation and said: "Who is this person?! Why don't you ask someone to work if you don't have money! If someone does the work for him and he doesn't pay him, this is too much.
!”
Ye Chen smiled and said: "I didn't give you any money, but I paid for it with something."
Ma Lan's eyes, which had dimmed just now, suddenly brightened up again, and she hurriedly asked: "Good son-in-law, please tell me what the employer paid for it?"
Ye Chen casually opened the handbag he was carrying and took out a gold brick from inside.
When Ma Lan saw the golden gold bricks, she was surprised and said: "Oh my god! Gold bricks! It says 1000 on it, oh my god, 1000 grams!"
As she said that, she quickly came to her senses and blurted out: "The price of gold seems to be around 400, so this piece is only 400,000..."
Ye Chen then took out another piece, stacked it with the previous one, and said, "I didn't just give you one piece."
Ma Lan clapped her hands happily: "Oh! There's more!"
Ye Chen took out another piece, and Ma Lan was even more excited: "Oh my god, three pieces!"
Immediately afterwards...
"Ouch, it's four yuan..."
"Oh my god, there's more? This is the fifth piece, right..."
Every time Ye Chen took out a gold brick, Ma Lan danced excitedly, looking like an old elf who had finally waited for Tang Monk's meat.
Until Ye Chen took out all ten gold bricks and arranged them in two rows, Ma Lan stared at the pile of shining gold bricks with wide eyes, and asked excitedly: "Good son-in-law, are there any more?"
"
"No." Ye Chen said calmly: "I only gave ten yuan in total. I estimate it is worth about four million."
"Oh my god!" Ma Lan exclaimed happily: "If you just say this 4 million, it seems to be a mid-range, not too little, but not too much..."
Speaking of this, her eyes turned into two slits as she smiled, held up a gold brick, and said with a dance: "But it's really shocking to convert these 4 million into gold! This golden look is too shining.
So festive!”
Ye Chen nodded and said: "I originally wanted to exchange it for cash and bring it back, but then I thought about it. I don't have any reserves of precious metals at home, so I might as well keep these ten gold bricks as deposits at home.
, and it can still bear inflation.”
Ma Lan nodded repeatedly and said in agreement: "That's right! Now the house prices can't rise anymore, and the stocks are falling like dogs, so the price of gold is relatively strong!"
As he said that, Ma Lan looked at Ye Chen with a bit of embarrassment and said with a smile: "Oh, my dear son-in-law, you see, Mom has never played with gold bricks in her life. This thing is shiny and heavy, and it feels pretty good. How about you?"
Give Mom a piece so that she can play with it when she's fine?"
Xiao Churan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and blurted out: "Mom, have you ever seen anyone who has nothing to do with gold..."
Ma Lan said matter-of-factly: "Didn't you hear what people said? Everything can be plated! Just this big gold brick, it doesn't matter if you hold it in your hand as a dumbbell, you can also keep fit!"
Ye Chen immediately smiled and said: "Mom, you are right, just use it as a dumbbell to play with!"
When Ma Lan heard this, she hugged the gold bricks in her arms with great joy and said happily: "Thank you my good son-in-law!"
Xiao Churan said hurriedly: "Mom, this is the reward given to Ye Chen, can't you just stop messing with it..."
Ma Lan muttered dissatisfied: "Chu Ran, this is Ye Chen's gift to his mother. It is Ye Chen's intention. Why are you always here to spoil the fun..."
Xiao Churan said seriously: "I'm not spoiling the fun, I'm afraid you'll pull some evil tricks again..."
Ye Chen advised Xiao Churan on the side: "Okay Churan, let mom play with it if she likes it, and you can leave it alone."
Ma Lan hugged the gold brick and said to Xiao Churan: "Churan, Ye Chen doesn't have any objections, so stop nagging here."
After saying that, she rolled her eyes, looked at Ye Chen, and said with a smile: "Ye Chen...my good son-in-law...um...can I discuss something with you?"
Ye Chen was already familiar with Ma Lan's routines. Before Ma Lan could continue, he asked her directly: "Mom, what do you want to say is that it's inconvenient to have only one dumbbell. You have to have two, one in each hand."
Is it appropriate to exercise?”
Ma Lan slapped her thigh and said excitedly: "My dear son-in-law, you understand me best! You said these dumbbells, don't they come in pairs? Alternating one hand up and down like this is called fitness.
If I only have one, one arm might be thicker and the other thinner after a while..."
Ye Chen nodded, picked up another gold brick, stuffed it into her arms, and said cheerfully: "Come! Take it! Take both of them! I'll give them all to you!"
Ma Lan was extremely happy. She had a gold brick in her hand and happily sat on the sofa swaying from side to side like a roly-poly.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Churan felt helpless and helpless. In the end, he could only remind her: "Mom! You can't sell these gold bricks secretly!"
Ma Lan hurriedly agreed and said, "Oh, don't worry, I will never sell it!"
Xiao Churan sighed and said to Ye Chen: "Husband, I suggest you go to the bank to rent a safe tomorrow and put all these gold bars in the bank. After all, it is not safe to leave them at home."
Ma Lan was angry and said dissatisfiedly: "Chu Ran, you have been here all night and made insinuations about me. Do you think I am so unreliable in your eyes? If Ye Chen keeps these gold bars at home, I can still steal them.
What’s going on?”
Xiao Churan said hurriedly: "Mom, that's not what I meant... I just think it's not safe to keep so many gold bars at home in case of a thief..."
After saying that, he added: "I suggest you deposit the two dollars you have in the bank. If you really want to keep fit, I will buy you a pair of women's dumbbells tomorrow."
"I don't!" Ma Lan muttered, holding two gold bricks in her arms, "I'm going to use them and put them under my pillow when I sleep at night!"
Ye Chen winked at Xiao Churan at this time and said: "Okay Churan, mom can do whatever she likes, don't worry about it!"
