Chapter 304 A good man is not necessarily a good husband
The next day was the Lantern Festival, and Cheng Tianyuan and Xue’s mother cooked together. They not only made dumplings, but also made glutinous rice balls.
"Northerners like to eat dumplings, while southerners eat glutinous rice balls. In our family, northerners also have some, and southerners also have them, so we make and eat both."
Dad Xue said happily: "Eat the dumplings first, then the glutinous rice balls. The glutinous rice balls are sweet, so save them for dessert. This way you won't get tired and you can eat more."
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly asked: "Dad, do you want steamed dumplings or dumpling soup?"
"I want both." Dad Xue chuckled and said, "I see that the fillings and skins you made are very energetic. You can tell they are delicious just by looking at them."
Cheng Tianyuan explained with a smile: "This plate is stuffed with meat, this plate is minced meat with leeks, and the last plate is stuffed with cabbage and minced meat. There are two kinds of glutinous rice balls, one with sesame filling and the other with lotus paste filling."
.”
Xue Heng on the side was very excited and praised: "There are so many varieties! I like the ones with sesame filling."
Xue Ling hugged Cheng Tianyuan's arm and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, mom and dad. You have been busy so early in the morning."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled fondly: "Isn't it a big job? It's not too busy. You like leek dumplings. I made more than a hundred of them."
"Wow!" Xue Ling said: "I want to eat dumplings! Add seafood soy sauce!"
Cheng Tianyuan nodded hurriedly: "I'll cook it, you go wait outside."
Father Xue held Xiao Ranran in his arms, watching the fish happily while waiting to eat dumplings.
"Ah Heng, have you informed everyone of the meeting tomorrow to start work?"
Xue Heng quickly replied: "I have already notified you. In addition, it rained and snowed a while ago, which made the notices at the entrance of the factory wet and damaged. I had someone rewrite some and put them on the gate and side door."
"Yes." Dad Xue said: "There will definitely be differences in workers in the new year, so we need to recruit workers in advance. I have a lot of orders at the main factory, and I will definitely be very busy next time. Over at the branch factory 'Lingyun', you are the only one."
People are busy.”
Xue Heng smiled and said: "It's okay, uncle, you are busy with other things, just leave the export business to me."
Dad Xue thought for a while and asked: "By the way, your brother will graduate next year, right?"
"Yes." Xue Heng explained: "He majored in medicine and graduated with a master's degree. My father asked him to come to Teito University School of Medicine to teach, and teach while working in the hospital."
Father Xue was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Didn't your father want him to go to the provincial capital?"
The two sons are far away from each other, how can they accept it emotionally?
Xue Heng explained with a smile: "My father and mother plan to return to the imperial capital after retirement. After all, there are still old houses here, as well as a lot of relatives and friends, which can be regarded as a base camp. They still have the idea of returning to their roots."
"That's right." Xue's father squinted his eyes and kissed his little grandson in his arms, "When you get older, you no longer have any ambitions. You just want a sweet and harmonious family, and enjoy having grandchildren. When you get older,
As I get older, I miss my hometown, its customs and customs, and want to return to my roots. This is human nature."
Xue Heng explained: "The imperial capital is better than the provincial capital and the place is bigger. My parents think that the future of development is better here, so they hope that my brother will apply here directly. When they retire,
The whole family can be reunited.”
Xue Ling on the side couldn't help but ask: "When will uncle and aunt retire? How many more years will it take?"
"At least five years." Xue Heng replied: "My parents are a few years apart, so they can retire at almost the same time."
Xue Ling said: "That's not far away! When you get married, start a business, and have children, the two old men can help you take care of your children and enjoy a wonderful old life with children and grandchildren around your knees."
Father Xue nodded in agreement: "Yes, this arrangement is quite good. We have many relatives here in the imperial capital, and we can take care of each other. A Heng, you save some money this year and buy a good house first. If the location is good,
Then just buy two sets, and when your parents come over, they can live with you and take care of them more easily."
"Isn't that good?" Xue Heng replied: "It's not a good idea to buy them together. If we all live together, there may be some minor conflicts, so we should keep some distance apart!"
Dad Xue smiled slightly and said: "It depends on what you think. If you dislike the old man nagging at home, then you have to do everything yourself. But then the young people will be free."
"If you want to buy them, don't buy them together. Stay some distance away." Xue Heng said, "I'll see if I can buy two sets by the end of the year. If not, I'll ask my parents to help pay for them."
After hearing this, Xue Ling curled her lips and said nothing, but she secretly despised such an approach.
Anyway, if you don’t buy them together, you can buy another set later. If you can’t afford two sets at the end of the year, then you can save money and buy one more set later.
He has already graduated and is making money. He is just buying a house for his parents. Considering that he can get 30% of the shares now, he can afford it in half a year and a few months at most. Why should his parents pay for it themselves? It doesn't make any sense at all.
No!
When Xue Heng heard about buying a house, he couldn't help but turn his head.
"Lingling, I heard that you bought a lot of houses in Rongcheng?"
"That's right!" Xue Ling replied: "There are only about 20 units left, and they are all for rent."
Xue Heng chuckled: "You don't want to be a housekeeper, do you? That's not bad. It's also a good choice to collect rent comfortably in the future."
"Wrong." Xue Ling raised an index finger and waved it gently: "You don't know me at all! I am a restless person who is not content with the status quo. I collect rent just to leave a way out. I am still young now,
It’s time to work hard, not to take it easy.”
"Hey! Do you still want to continue wholesale clothes?" he asked.
"Yeah." Xue Ling replied: "Next, I may invest in some real estate, build some and sell them myself, and keep some for rent."
Xue Heng hesitated and asked: "The investment cycle of real estate is long, and some large real estate projects may not be able to recover their original investment in three to five years. Are you sure you want to invest in this industry?"
"Yes." Xue Ling said: "Throw a long line to catch the big fish and wait slowly. Rongcheng is just undergoing vigorous development and there is still a lot of room for real estate. I believe you will not make a wrong investment."
"Hey!" Xue Heng was half joking and half serious: "Even if you make the wrong investment, you still have such a big backer as your uncle to rely on, so what are you afraid of!"
Xue Ling laughed.
No matter how powerful and wealthy her parents are, the best she can do is provide support, but she still has to work hard on her own.
"Everyone, let's eat dumplings first!" Mother Xue brought out two plates of dumplings and said with a smile: "Eat it while it's hot, eat it while it's hot!"
Everyone hurriedly gathered around to eat.
Cheng Tianyuan held his son in one hand and ate with chopsticks in the other. From time to time, he helped Xue Ling pick up one or two.
Xue Heng took a bowl and ate by himself, taking care of himself from beginning to end.
Xue Ling looked at their unusual approach and smiled softly.
In the eyes of many people, Xiao Heng is an almost perfect man. He is talented, good-looking, promising, handsome and elegant, and is an excellent dating partner.
But he has always been independent, and he has been abroad for many years. He pursues a free and independent spirit and is more self-centered in everything he does and thinks.
On the contrary, Brother Yuan is not as good as him in these aspects, but he has a sense of responsibility and responsibility. What is even more rare is that he is considerate of his family, respectful and caring to his elders, and he cares for both the elder and the younger.
If it were her previous life, she would have foolishly yearned for a perfect and romantic man.
But if she lives her life again, she knows what kind of man is more suitable to live with as her husband, and she will definitely choose Cheng Tianyuan without hesitation.
Fortunately, she made the right choice and married the right person.
