Xue Ling laughed and explained: "This is a full moon banquet. I don't dare to make a big deal about it. It's just a family dinner. But the meaning is quite big. After all, it is to celebrate the arrival of two little guys into this big family.
So I like to let the chef prepare some festive dishes."
"No problem!" the manager said, "I'll ask the head chef to come out immediately and ask him to tell you a few dishes for reference. If you don't nod, we will never arrange it. We guarantee your satisfaction."
Three minutes later, the chef was dragged out by the manager.
Xue Ling smiled and nodded: "Hello, master."
The chef was flattered and at a loss, whispered: "Boss Xue...please give me your orders."
The manager immediately stated all Xue Ling's requirements in a loud voice.
The chef nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I've remembered it. I'll prepare the ingredients in the afternoon, and I'll cook a few main dishes myself."
The manager immediately praised the chef for all the awards he had won.
Seeing that the master was a practical person, Xue Ling nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to the master."
She didn't know much, so she didn't pretend to be an expert and let the master make his own arrangements. Firstly, it was to respect others, and secondly, it was to trust others and not trust them. She was a layman and there was no need to dictate to professionals.
The manager chuckled and whispered: "Boss Xue, what price do you want?"
Xue Ling thought for a while and asked: "What are the prices for table reservations now?"
In the past, the manager was left to make arrangements, and she rarely asked about it.
The manager answered smoothly: "One hundred, one hundred and fifty, two hundred, two hundred and five, and the highest is five hundred."
Xue Ling raised his eyebrows, thinking that the current living standard was not high, and the salary of ordinary people was only more than two hundred or three hundred yuan.
Thinking that this was a full-moon wine, it would be more meaningful to pick an even number, so I booked a table of 400 yuan and settled the bill in advance.
The manager smiled from ear to ear and gave a thumbs up.
"Congratulations! Boss Xue is so lucky. Such a blessing as dragon and phoenix appearing in auspiciousness is a rare occurrence in a hundred years!"
Xue Ling nodded: "Thank you, my mother said your mouth is very sweet! It is worthy of praise!"
After hearing this, the other employees all pursed their lips and snickered. The manager was very rare and made a big blush.
Xue Ling went upstairs and heard that Zheng Sanyuan's house next door was very lively, so he quietly went over.
I saw my father-in-law, father, second son and Zheng Sanyuan, all four of them gathered around the sofa and coffee table, each holding a few playing cards in their hands, and they were playing in full swing.
"I'm three to six!"
"Two eights!"
"I aa!"
The four of them had a great time.
For more than half a month, Zheng Sanyuan has been supported and massaged by Xue's father and Cheng Muhai, as well as accompanied by several children. He is very happy every day. He has moved one or two steps at the beginning, and now he can stand up and walk slowly.
.
I don't have to be paralyzed in bed and I can move around on my own, which is a huge improvement.
When Zheng Datong and his younger siblings saw him standing up again, all three of them cried. The family of four hugged each other, crying and laughing at the same time.
Zheng Sanyuan's cousin has returned to his hometown because a grandson was born at home and he must go back to help take care of him.
When he saw that his cousin could walk, the big stone in his heart finally fell, and he happily returned to his hometown with Zheng Sanyuan's big red envelope for his eldest grandson.
Zheng Datong made breakfast with his father in the morning, and then went to help in the factory.
At noon, the neighbor prepares a meal and brings one to Zheng Sanyuan to eat. Sometimes it’s the two mothers, and sometimes it’s Ah Chun.
In the evening, if Datong comes back early, he will discuss with his father what to eat and go downstairs to buy something to eat.
If the son comes home late, he will go next door to eat with everyone, or he will bring it over and eat it himself.
Zheng Sanyuan was accompanied by his old buddies and children. He changed his previous depression and sadness and slowly walked out of the gloom. He gradually returned to his previous cheerfulness. He smiled more and was in better spirits. Even his hair that grew back no longer
It's gray and white, but dark.
Seeing that they were having fun, Xue Ling didn't go in to disturb them, and went back next door to take care of the children with a smile.
That evening, Zheng Datong came back early and brought several large account books with him.
"Sister Lingling, this is the account book for the past three months. The accountant has remembered every account carefully. I checked it before signing it. You were in the hospital a while ago, and then you were in confinement. I didn't dare to disturb you.
.You are out of confinement, I will bring it for you to take a look at."
"Okay!" Xue Ling said, "Go and change your clothes. I'll help your dad downstairs later and have full moon wine with all of us. The banquet has been arranged."
Zheng Datong said with a smile: "My dad called me specifically in the afternoon and asked me to come back early! He also wrapped two red envelopes and said he would give them to his little brother and sister."
"That's great!"
Zheng Datong laughed, took out a bank note from his pocket and handed it to Xue Ling.
"This is the dividend from last quarter. After you check the books, take a closer look. Also, the 100,000 yuan you lent to the factory at the beginning of the year is also included in it."
Xue Ling was slightly stunned and asked: "The factory has turned over, so your father..."
"I finally paid it back this month." Zheng Datong breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "There are still several thousand yuan left. Uncle Xue's side is still 50,000 yuan short. We can pay it back next quarter.
His old man told me that there is no rush, it doesn't matter next year or the year after that. I have calculated it carefully with my dad, and I can probably pay it off by the end of the year."
Xue Ling shook his head: "I'm pretty well off here. If you need to pay back others, go ahead and pay them back. I can also take it easy."
"No need." Zheng Datong whispered: "The income from the two factories is very good. As long as we don't spend it arbitrarily, we can't spend it all. Except for my dad's surgery fee, everything else has been slowly transferred out and paid. No money.
Surprisingly, I can pay it all back by the end of the year.”
Xue Ling breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That's good. Datong, your family has recovered. Uncle Zheng has also recovered."
There are not many sweater factories in China and they are not very competitive. Therefore, the income of the two sweater factories in recent years has been stable and large.
If there weren't any black sheep who gambled away their money all day long, Zheng Sanyuan would at least have a net worth of tens of millions.
As long as we get rid of the bad apples and make repairs, life will get better soon.
Zheng Datong's eyes turned red, and he swallowed: "Sister Lingling, it's lucky to have your family... Otherwise, my family would have collapsed, and the factory would have collapsed too. Secretary Gong said that if you hadn't invested money in time, the factory would definitely not be able to survive.
Come on. If my uncle hadn’t spent tens of thousands of dollars on my dad’s surgery, my dad wouldn’t have been able to pass that test. It’s a great kindness that will never be forgotten.”
"Okay, don't be sad." Xue Ling smiled: "I've survived it all, and it will get better. And it will get better and better!"
Zheng Datong smiled, wiped the tears from his eyes, and nodded vigorously.
At around five o'clock, everyone packed up and changed their clothes, put diapers on their children, fed them milk, put on beautiful little clothes, and then went downstairs with a smile.
Zheng Sanyuan didn't walk very fast. He was held by his son and held Yangyang by the other hand. He was in good spirits and always had a smile on his face.
Zhu Achun is holding little Xinxin, Mother Xue is holding little A Chong, Liu Ying is holding the child's small bottle, etc.
Everyone filed into the elevator, laughing and laughing.
When I got to the box downstairs, I found that Xue Huan and Sanbo had already arrived, as well as Xue Zhilan's family.
"Yo! It's earlier than us!"
The third uncle smiled and went to hug little Xinxin and said: "We have a banquet to eat, how can we be late!"
Everyone laughed.
After a while, Sanbo's two sons came with their wives and children.
The manager arranges for the waiter to serve the food.
Everyone ate, drank, laughed and chatted, celebrating the arrival of two little lives and the big family entering a new stage.
