Su Yan didn't tell Aunt Chen when he would come back. He wanted to leave more time for their family to get together. After all, the next time they met would probably be during the Chinese New Year.
I didn't expect that after I came back, I saw her mopping the floor. I was really touched. In fact, it's okay to be lazy occasionally when the owner of the house is not here. And after a quick glance, everything is neat and orderly. You know,
We have two dogs and two cats at home, which often creates problems. At least we are not used to using the cat litter here.
Aunt Chen turned around when she heard the door opening and was a little surprised to see Su Yan.
"Director Su, why didn't you call in advance when you came back? I...I didn't even buy any food. I'm hungry. There's meat and shrimp in the refrigerator. How about I order some noodles for you?"
"Oh, no need, I ate some outside." Su Yan put down the bag, and Aunt Chen took it and hung it up.
"Why didn't you go to accompany your daughter?"
Aunt Chen smiled happily when she heard this.
"Thank you so much, Director Su. We are all from the countryside. My son has only been to the local zoo when he was a child. This time it really opened his eyes. There is also Disney. The tickets cost thousands, but we can still play for two days.
Yes, she doesn’t know how happy she is, saying that even the children from the richest family in the class have not been there.”
"It's all small things. I actually liked amusement parks when I was a kid." Su Yan went to the refrigerator and got a bottle of water: "Why didn't you turn on the air conditioner? Isn't it hot?"
"I'm used to it." Aunt Chen's forehead was covered with sweat: "It's just me. The air conditioner consumes a lot of electricity and is a waste of money. Your money didn't come from the strong wind."
"The child has gone back?" Su Yan gulped down a glass of water and turned on the air conditioner.
"Well, I stayed for three days. Her father has a job, and I have to be busy too. Besides, there is only an old man left at home. He needs to help with some farm work, so I let him go back first."
"Did she buy a round trip ticket by herself?" Su Yan was surprised.
"Well, children from rural areas have long been in charge. She is already fifteen years old, so she is not young anymore." Aunt Chen seemed to be used to it.
Su Yan nodded and looked at the stove: "You haven't been cooking here in the past few days. Didn't I tell you to treat it as your own home? It doesn't matter if you do whatever you want."
"Oh, it's not easy for me to cook alone. Besides, there is cooking at home. It would be a waste if I don't eat."
The two dogs entered the hall from the backyard. They were overjoyed when they saw Su Yan. They rushed over, wagging their tails crazily, pounced on him, and licked their lips. The owner had been out for a few days, and it probably lasted a few years.
Have to feel.
Su Yan knelt down and played with them for a while, thinking that the dog still had a conscience. When Dajuweizhong saw him, he just glanced at him lightly, then yawned and continued to sleep.
"Aunt Chen, have you eaten?" He raised his head and asked.
"Oh, I'll be ready in a moment..."
"Go ahead and order the noodles. There is some beef. Add more. I feel a little hungry. You don't have to go home to eat. Let's eat together here."
"I'll go make it for you right away." Aunt Chen naturally understood Su Yan's kindness.
The fellow villagers who came to Shanghai with her and a few sisters from the housekeeping company also knew each other. When chatting, they heard that she had such a good employer and they were all envious.
My husband works at a construction site and is an honest man. After hearing that he worked very hard and his salary was about the same as his wife's, and that he received bonuses and tickets when the children came. He didn't know how to repay her, so he asked Aunt Chen to eat more snacks.
Therefore, even if Su Yan is not here these two days, not a single bit of work has been left behind, and even a trace of dust can be found in the corner.
Soon, two steaming bowls of noodles were ready. The bowl in front of Su Yan was full of pieces of beef, with a few chopped green onions sprinkled on it. It looked very tempting. In addition, Aunt Chen ate it herself, so there was less meat.
many.
Su Yan looked at it, shook his head helplessly, said nothing, and began to eat the noodles.
"Right!"
Halfway through the meal, Aunt Chen seemed to remember something, put down her chopsticks, and walked aside.
Qixi sat at her feet and looked at Su Yan pitifully.
"You can't eat, and it's useless to look at me. Why do you feel like you've gained weight after not seeing me for a few days? You must be acting coquettishly with Aunt Chen."
Qixi didn't know if she understood, so she turned around and left, probably because she was afraid of starving.
"What's this?"
A pony made of bamboo was placed on the table.
"This is the gift Xiaohui said she wanted to give you. Originally, the child wanted to hand it over to you, but unfortunately, I kept it in my bag for the past few days."
"Really!" Su Yan was very surprised, holding the pony in his hand: "Xiao Hui is so amazing, she can actually make small animals out of bamboo."
The pony is not big, more than 20 centimeters long and more than ten centimeters high. It is very delicate, not to mention lifelike in shape, and the edges have been rubbed very smooth with sandpaper. It can be called a handicraft, even better than ordinary ones.
a bit.
"Xiaohui's grandfather is a craftsman, and he is ranked first in eight villages in ten miles. The child has been following him since he was very young. I didn't expect girls to be interested in this." Aunt Chen said about her daughter, with a full face.
He said proudly: "When the old man saw it, he would teach her. Not to mention, she is really talented. Her academic performance has not fallen behind, and she has also learned some skills in bamboo weaving. This pony, because she is still in school, spent three years
It took me months to make it, and I originally wanted to bring it to us..."
When Su Yan heard this, he thought it was a big deal.
"Then I can't accept it. The gifts my daughter gives to her parents are all from my heart!"
He quickly handed it over.
"Oh, isn't it made of bamboo? It's all in the house. Didn't you see that she was so happy when she went to the amusement park? She also played well with the two puppies. She even brought them home two days ago.
One night, I was very grateful to your uncle, whom I had never met, and even said personally that I would give the pony to you!"
"That's right!" Su Yan actually really liked it: "Then I'll really accept it!"
Aunt Chen felt relieved when she saw the other person couldn't put it down.
In her opinion, this little thing is not valuable at all. People who can afford such a good house don't think it is normal.
But as a parent, I am naturally happy when my daughter's gratitude is recognized by others.
"By the way, you said there are quite a few such handicrafts at home, right?" Su Yan raised his head and asked.
"Well, Xiaohui has made them all in the past few years. There must be dozens of them." Aunt Chen nodded.
"Otherwise, I'll buy whatever price you ask."
"Mr. Su, no need. Although my family has difficulties, we as a couple are capable and can make money!" Aunt Chen reacted greatly.
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Aunt Chen, you misunderstood. I don't want to help you. I really have this need. You also know that my father-in-law is Korean and has some foreign friends. He often has a headache about what gifts to give."
As he spoke, he raised the pony in his hand.
"A pure handicraft like this is not only exquisitely made. If you knew it was a child's work, you would be so touched. I, the person who gave the gift, would also have a bright face. Aunt Chen, you don't know that many foreigners are actually
Everyone is interested in Chinese traditions, and bamboo weaving is a relatively rare type, but it will definitely please you, so I am not helping you, I am helping myself."
"Really?" Aunt Chen was a little doubtful.
"Really, I went back to the United States to meet a friend last time, and you know what he gave me. Rice wine in a ceramic bottle. The market price is probably a few hundred yuan. Because of its beautiful appearance and uniqueness, the friend liked it very much and put it directly in the wine cabinet.
In the middle, there are tens of thousands bottles of fine wine on the sides."
What he said was true. It seems that even now, Taylor still has the vase of flower carvings at home.
Seeing that she was still a little hesitant, Su Yan continued to enlighten her.
"Actually, there are some like farmhouses. You see, city people or rich people like to go to the countryside. Why, why not try to be fresh, or take some local specialties with them wherever they travel?
, it becomes even more precious, especially handmade things. In the eyes of foreigners, they are the same as works of art."
"Xiao Hui is just doing it for fun by returning the artwork. If you really want it, Mr. Su, I will ask my family to send it to you later for free."
Aunt Chen now figured it out. It was really worthless in the countryside. If you took it to the street, no one would want it for five yuan a piece. Since the employer wanted it, why bother, just give it to him.
"The relationship is good, please trouble Aunt Chen."
Su Yan wouldn't talk to her about money now, otherwise it would be endless, and he would just make up for it from his salary when the time comes.
"What's the trouble? Xiaohui would probably be happy if she knew that what she made was going to be given to foreign friends."
The matter of bamboo weaving handicrafts has also been settled.
Su Yan has solved the problem. Otherwise, every trip is filled with wine, tea, and so on. He is no different from other people. If he brings out gadgets, he will definitely be popular.
"Aunt Chen, are there any kimchi in the refrigerator?"
"Well, it's quite a lot. You don't eat it often after Miss Yoona goes out."
"Before you leave, help me pack some and put them away. I will go see Yoona the day after tomorrow and take them with me."
"Okay, by the way, you are leaving the day after tomorrow. Then I will buy some materials and make some chaos tomorrow. I will make some when I am hungry at night. It will be much more convenient."
"It won't be too much trouble."
"What's the trouble in making a few wontons?"
"Then thank you Aunt Chen."
Su Yan was sweating profusely after eating a bowl of beef noodles. Even if the air conditioner was turned on, he added some chili pepper.
"I'm going upstairs. If you're done with your work, go back early. You don't have to come over in the evening. I'll feed the big furry and have a dinner."
"Okay, I'm almost done here. Just finish washing your clothes and you'll be fine."
Su Yan drank a lot last night and was on a plane for a few hours, so he was very sleepy. After taking a shower, he fell asleep.
And the person who wanted to treat me to dinner in the evening was none other than Sa Beining.
When he was in Xiamen, Su Yan asked him directly why there was no one on the phone suddenly if he didn't want to treat him, which made Xiao Sa very embarrassed.
In order to show his sincerity, he simply came to the Magic City together and called all the Wuchao members together. This meeting should be in a hotel.
The program team still has some finishing work, and he can't return yet, otherwise he will be prepared for heavy bleeding.
