One evening, Comrade Xu came to the residence of Xia Yun and Xia Shenxing's mother and son.
It was almost the New Year, and he wanted to give something to their mother and son. When he gave money before, Xia Yun refused, so this time he simply gave her some New Year goods.
She doesn’t want money, but she doesn’t want New Year’s goods, right?
This is what he thought and what he did.
He prepared three copies of the same New Year's goods, one for himself, and the other two for Xia Yun and Zeng Xueyi to give one each.
He hadn't gone to Zeng Xueyi's place yet, so he came to Xia Yun's place first.
The new year's goods he purchased were of various types.
There are whole hams, chicken, duck and fish meat produced in Yan Shijin's villa, as well as various wines, drinks, nuts, candied fruits, etc.
There were all kinds of things, but there was a pile sent to Xia Yun, packed in seven cardboard boxes. When he went upstairs, he asked Zheng Meng, Sun Aizi, and Tan Shuangxi to move some.
When Xia Yun opened the door, she was surprised to see so many things he had brought.
But, just as Comrade Xu expected, she was too embarrassed to let them take them all back again.
In front of Zheng Meng and others, she smiled helplessly and opened the door, letting everyone move their things into the house.
"You guys go to the car and wait for me!"
After Zheng Meng and others put down their things, Xu Tongdao gave them instructions.
Xia Yun persuaded them to stay for a sip of tea before leaving. Zheng Meng and others smiled, declined and left.
Comrade Xu squatted down at one of the cartons, opened the carton, and said: "I got these from my friend's villa. They were not raised on feed, and they are all fresh. See if they can fit in your refrigerator."
Come on, can I put the refrigerator in for you?"
The cardboard box in front of him contained slaughtered chickens and ducks. The other two cardboard boxes next to him contained large herring and a pig hind leg respectively.
Xia Yun sighed and bent down to pick up the things in the carton, "You! There are only two of us at home, my child and I. How can we finish eating when you bring so many things? Why don't you bring some back later?
Anyway, you have a lot of people at home."
Tongdao Xu smiled and shook his head, "No! I already have more at home than you have here. You can keep these and eat them! If you can't finish them, I will send some to your home or to your relatives and friends."
Xia Yun hummed, "So much, I really have to give some to my parents."
Mentioning her parents, Comrade Xu asked casually: "Well, by the way, how long will A Xing stay with your parents this time? Will you come back here during the Chinese New Year?"
Xia Yun moved the things in the carton into the refrigerator and replied casually: "It's hard to say, I probably won't come back before the Chinese New Year. He has other children to play with him there, and my parents take care of him. It's better than here."
It's exciting here, and I was very busy before the year and didn't have time to take care of him. It just so happens that he is on winter vacation now, so let him go!"
After saying that, she glanced at Xu Tongdao and asked: "What? Do you miss him?"
After all, he is his own son and he has not seen him for a few days. How could he not miss him at all?
Comrade Xu nodded slightly.
Xia Yun smiled and said, "It's no use even thinking about it. I have to go to work every day. The end of the year is still my busiest time. He is on winter vacation again now. If he stays at home alone for such a long time during the day, don't worry.
Don’t worry! If you want to see Ah Xing, you’d better wait until after the new year!”
Xu Tongdao was silent.
After busying for a while and putting all the things in the cartons that needed to be put into the refrigerator, Xia Yun invited Comrade Xu to eat.
Before coming here today, Comrade Xu had called her in advance and she had prepared the meals.
In terms of cooking skills, Xia Yun is obviously not as good as Zeng Xueyi.
The dishes she cooked were not as good-looking as those made by Zeng Xueyi, and they were far inferior in appearance.
But the dishes she cooks also have advantages.
For example: Affordable!
For example: delicious.
When Zeng Xueyi cooks, the portions on each plate are not large, but each dish is quite exquisite.
The dishes Xia Yun cooks are served in stainless steel pots. The portions of each dish are full, the color of the dishes is also dark, the taste is relatively strong, and the heat is also very good. For example, the sweet and sour pork ribs she made today, not only every piece
They are all as big as eggs, put a lot of soy sauce, are very dark in color, and are simmered over low heat until they become pulpy. A dish of sweet and sour pork ribs, she managed to make it almost melt in your mouth.
But don't tell me, the food she cooks tastes really good.
Let Xu Tongdao feel like he was a child.
Moreover, when I was a kid, the whole village went to a certain restaurant to eat, and the smell of pork ribs was cooked in the big iron pot.
As for why the whole village goes to a certain restaurant for dinner?
Don't ask!
The question is if someone dies, the whole village goes to help.
Xia Yun opened a bottle of red wine, which was taken directly from the New Year's goods delivered by Comrade Xu today.
"Lafite?"
When she took out the bottle of red wine, she curiously looked at the name on the label. After seeing it clearly, she was quite surprised.
Comrade Xu smiled and said, "I don't know much about red wine. When we usually go out to socialize, the wine we drink is arranged by the secretary. I don't pay much attention to the wine names. These wines were brought from the warehouse of Yanhui Hotel and I asked the secretary to go there."
Don’t worry about what kind of wine you got, just drink it!”
Xia Yun looked at him and smiled slightly. Thinking of his current net worth of several billion, she no longer hesitated and picked up the bottle opener to open the bottle.
"Hey, let me ask you a question!"
She said with a smile while opening the bottle of wine.
Comrade Xu agreed.
Xia Yun: "Are you what some people say now - a rich man who is so poor that all he has left is money?"
Comrade Xu laughed dumbly.
However, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that he was really like this.
Today, apart from money, he really seems to have nothing.
When he was on the rich list last year, he was the richest man in the province.
This year has almost passed.
Although this year's title of the richest man in the province was snatched away by others, he himself knew that it was because he had asked people to publicize in advance the formulation of the "Forbes" list.
In fact, after the company's rapid expansion this year and the rise in the stock prices of his two listed companies, his personal wealth now reaches at least more than 10 billion.
As for why he specifically spends money on PR for Forbes?
The reason is also very simple.
——He just wants to keep a low profile.
Don't want to be too pushy.
The domestic environment is not very friendly to rich people. Before his rebirth, he had heard a widely circulated saying - the rich list is the pig-killing list.
How many rich people on the rich list have been brought to a miserable end?
In his memory before his rebirth, it seemed that several big guys who had achieved the title of "richest man" in the country had met unhappy ends.
…
That night, Comrade Xu got drunk at Xia Yun's place.
When I woke up, it was already midnight.
Opening his eyes, with the bedside light still on, he saw that he was sleeping on Xia Yun's bed, and Xia Yun was sleeping next to him. He could even feel one of her legs resting on his leg under the quilt.
