Chapter 118: New Year's Red Envelope
The developer of the community has made a particularly popular plan, each owner can receive a New Year's red envelope worth 100 yuan at the security office with his ID card, the amount is not large, but the New Year's red envelope is a happy picture, on the first day of the new year, there are owners lined up to receive the red envelope at the security office, and everyone is full of praise for the developer's activity.
Liu Chen and others came to the gate of the community, and when they saw the excitement here, they stepped forward to take a look, and the security guard enthusiastically introduced them and said: "Every owner can receive a red envelope with his ID card." β
Liu Chen smiled: "We are not the owners, we are tenants, and we rent a house here, haha." β
But the security guard gave another good news: "It doesn't matter if the tenant is fine, you can also receive a red envelope with the original rental contract, because we understand that there are many tenants living in the community, so we especially give the same benefits to the tenants." β
"Really, you developers are quite humane, not bad. Liu Chen took out the rental contract in the bag, and the house was originally signed with Zeng Ahu in his name, so Liu Chen kept the rental contract. With this contract, Liu Chen received a 100 yuan red envelope and gave it to his father, but he couldn't keep his father together.
The service of the property in the community is also in place, the snow on the road has basically been cleared, the car of the moving company can enter directly to the 23 downstairs, and the elevator to the fifth floor is very convenient. Guan Shaoqing and Lin Huimei are here for the first time, the comfort of the house completely exceeds their expectations, and the supporting facilities are also everything, especially the environment and view here, backed by the most prosperous Zhongxing Street, in front of which is a dense forest covered by ice and snow, and it looks like it is above the clouds from a distance.
"Dad, Aunt Lin, what do you think of here, is it okay?"
"Very good, very good!" Guan Shaoqing looked at this and that, and was very satisfied with the house that his son found for them.
Lin Huimei too, she pulled Xiaomei to the best room and said: "Xiaomei, I will sleep in this room in the future, the scenery is good, it is also very quiet, suitable for you to read books and do your homework." β
Xiaomei nodded happily and carefully admired this room that belonged to her.
Liu Chen saw their happy eyes, in fact, he felt a little sad, this is a very ordinary house for them, and it is rented, but it can make them so happy and satisfied, it is really ...... Liu Chen decided that he must buy a house for them, and it was completely theirs.
Li Rongfei went downstairs to pay for the move, and when she went upstairs, she received a call from a friend, saying that she would come to Jiangxia to see her in a few days. Li Rongfei thought that she was also at home alone these days, and she could play together for a few days when she came, so she promised to send a message before she came, so that she could pick her up in advance.
After hanging up the phone, I remembered that I had ignored Liu Chen, but it was okay, and I could also give him a surprise when the time came, and keep it secret for the time being.
Liu Chen and Li Rongfei helped pack up all the things they brought and took everyone downstairs to eat. Guan Shaoqing and Lin Huimei usually wander around Dongyi Village and rarely go out on the streets, so Liu Chen suggested taking them to try some of the delicacies on Zhongxing Street.
Since it is now in the Spring Festival, many stores have not yet opened, but several large restaurants have closed their doors except for Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month, and resumed business on the second day of the new year, after all, you can make a lot of money in one day. Liu Chen was familiar with Zhongxing Street and took them to a restaurant called "Outside the Mountain".
The restaurant takes Chinese food as the main dish, with Western food and some other dessert dishes, which can basically meet the taste of the vast majority of customers, of course, the consumption here is also relatively high, a meal is basically more than five hundred, Guan Shaoqing felt that it was too expensive when he saw the menu, and wanted to change his family to eat, this is the traditional thinking and lifestyle of their older generation, and the pursuit is cheap and good.
Liu Chen soothed: "Dad, your son is rich, eat with confidence, besides, the food here is still very delicious, the New Year, it's rare to eat, right, don't think too much, just eat and drink well, don't worry about anything, just celebrate the housewarming." β
"You can't spend money indiscriminately. Guan Shaoqing said so, but he still agreed with Liu Chen's words in his heart, so he regarded it as a celebration of the housewarming.
The waiter brought the menu, Liu Chen asked his father and Aunt Lin to order, they both ordered some home-cooked dishes, when Liu Chen took the menu, he could see at a glance that they were saving the order, this is not good, when you come out to eat, you have to eat and drink well, Liu Chen checked some dishes again, tried to be more expensive, ordered a lot of seafood, and gave my father and them to make up for their bodies.
Just opened, there were not many customers, and the dishes were served quickly, and Guan Shaoqing was shocked after the dishes, and the five people actually ordered fifteen dishes, and several of them were hard dishes.
"Chen, why did you order so many dishes?" Guan Shaoqing asked distressedly.
"A lot of the dishes are quite delicious, maybe you haven't tasted them, so I'll give you a taste. β
Seeing that his son thought about himself everywhere, Guan Shaoqing was moved and relieved in his heart, and he couldn't bear to blame his son's kindness, he nodded with a smile to express his gratitude to his son.
Liu Chen takes all this for granted, as a son, as the pillar of the family, he must be filial to his elders and not generous to his family, so who else should he be generous to?
Li Rongfei took advantage of the time to wait for the food, went to the small shopping mall downstairs to buy a belt, and when she came back, she also brought HΓ€agen-Dazs to everyone, this luxury dessert Xiaomei was eating it for the first time, while carefully licking the cream, and said to Li Rongfei: "Thank you, Mr. Li." β
Seeing that his son and future daughter-in-law were so filial, Guan Shaoqing was full of emotion, he suffered so much in the first half of his life, God finally took pity on them, and brought them such a good son and daughter-in-law, so that they could enjoy the joy of family with peace of mind.
Liu Chen took the time to smoke a cigarette in the corridor, leaned on the railing and quietly swallowed the clouds, and suddenly saw a chase being staged downstairs, only to see a girl chasing a man with a panicked look.
"Stop, don't run!" the girl shouted to the man in front of her.
Liu Chen snickered in his heart: "It's so stupid, don't run and wait for you to chase me." β
But when the girl's figure got closer and closer, Liu Chen saw it clearly, it turned out to be Ouyang Lan. He quickly threw away the cigarette butt, looked left and right, picked up a pebble from the windowsill, and threw it at the man's leg. In a second, I heard the man scream in pain and fell to the snow.
Ouyang Lan looked up, it turned out to be Liu Chen's help, she thanked Liu Chen: "Handsome guy, thank you!"
I don't know if it's deliberately teasing or what, this is the first time Ouyang Lan has called him a handsome guy so directly, which makes Liu Chen, who has always been confident, a little embarrassed, "You're welcome, hurry up and arrest him back." β
Ouyang Lan nodded at him, ran over and held down the man, took out the handcuffs around his waist and cuffed him, and the man reacted, it turned out to be a policeman, no wonder it was so fierce.
Seeing Ouyang Lan escorting the man back, Liu Chen praised: "You are really dedicated, you are still working so hard during the holidays." β
From looking down at the beginning to praising and admiring now, Liu Chen's evaluation of Ouyang Lan has also quietly changed.
After eating, Liu Chen asked Li Rongfei to take them back, and went to the Starlight Bar alone. Tomorrow the Starlight Bar will open, so go clean up early this afternoon. Originally, Liu Chen didn't need to go to these things, but he still insisted on going, because Ji Linyuan also went in person.
When I arrived at the bar, there were already a lot of people waiting, the children seemed excited, chattering non-stop, and no one complained about coming to work so early. When everyone saw Liu Chen's arrival, they gave warm applause and welcome, and before they entered the door, Ji Zhiyuan ran over and pulled him in: "Brother Liu, why did you come." β
"I rushed over at a moment's notice. β
"My sister said that she would give out red envelopes when you came, and we are all waiting for you. β
It turned out that this was the reason why everyone was so excited to see him, Liu Chen looked at these expectant little eyes, and asked, "What about your sister?"
"In the office. Ji Zhiyuan said, hurriedly went upstairs and called Ji Linyuan down.
Ji Linyuan is wearing a festive red outfit today, and the biggest change is that he has changed his hairstyle, with short hair curled outward, and light blue highlights, full of personality.
Blue is one of Liu Chen's favorite colors, Ji Linyuan highlighted his hair blue, I don't know if it was deliberate, in short, it deeply attracted Liu Chen's attention.
"You're here!" Ji Linyuan said hello to Liu Chen and walked down the stairs.
"Well, after the New Year, even the style has changed. Liu Chen stepped forward and teased.
Just as they were about to continue chatting a few more words, the children kept coaxing: "Sister Ji, Brother Liu is here, everyone is here, hurry up and send red envelopes." β
Everyone looked at Ji Linyuan eagerly expectantly, like a child waiting to eat candy, Ji Linyuan hurriedly took out a stack of red envelopes from his pocket and distributed them to everyone.
"Opening red envelope, I wish you all a happy new year!"
"Thank you, Sister Ji, Happy New Year!"
Liu Chen opened the red envelope on the spot when he got it, and screamed: "Wow, so many !!"
The others also opened the red envelopes one by one, and when they saw the red envelopes, they all let out the same scream, and then turned their heads and ears: "Hey, how many are you?"
Ji Linyuan said with a smile: "Every red envelope is the same, haha." β
"Thank you, Sister Ji!" Everyone burst into warm applause again, in order to thank Sister Ji for her love, everyone immediately picked up the tools and took the initiative to start cleaning, one by one full of enthusiasm.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Liu Chen asked quietly: "Didn't you just send it before the Chinese New Year, why did you send such a big red envelope again?"
Ji Linyuan smiled mysteriously: "Isn't it good for me to be generous?"
"No, that's good, we like a boss like you the most when we are employees, haha. β
"Do you like me, then?"
