On the afternoon of the day Wang Hongchao and Shen Peng met, Cui Ning finished a meeting with the Phoenix Cola project team and walked out of the company, not losing the troubles of hundreds of millions of customers, or with a sad face, on the contrary, with a relaxed face, he saw Xiang Yuzhen who was waiting downstairs.

"Why are you so busy in the past two days, the day before yesterday and yesterday I didn't have time to say a few words" Xiang Yuzhen pouted, "Have you changed your mind?"

Cui Ning didn't answer Xiang Yuzhen's childish words, and asked:

"Why don't you go to your house to see your mom and dad?"

Xiang Yuzhen was stunned:

"Today, are you going to go empty-handed?"

"How can it be? It's not in accordance with the rules," Cui Ning said, "Didn't you promise to send wine to your father?"

"Then only bring wine to my father, what about my mother?" Xiang Yuzhen rolled his eyes.

"I don't know what your mother likes," Cui Ning said, "Why don't you give me a jade bracelet?"

"Jade bracelets, I've seen Sister Su wearing one, but it's good-looking" Xiang Yuzhen said, "It's a pity that my mother didn't let me wear accessories, saying that I just went to work, so I should pay attention to the impact"

"What your mother said makes sense, if it's cheap accessories, it will affect your image, too expensive, it will make people have other opinions about you, you just worked, plus your age and occupation, it's better not to wear it usually" Cui Ning said "But I can give you a jade Buddha, and others can't see it when you wear it"

"Bracelet, Jade Buddha, do you have a jewelry business at home?" asked Xiang Yuzhen, "Don't be too expensive for the gifts you give, my parents are not snobs, it's not good if they're too expensive."

"I didn't spend any money, in fact, I don't have any other gifts to give" Cui Ning said, "You are not suitable for brand-name bags now, and when you work for two years, I will give you a brand-name bag"

"I don't have a feeling for the bag," Xiang Yuzhen said, "Are you really going to my house?"

"Really, aren't you going to say hello to your parents?" asked Cui Ning.

"I don't have a mobile phone," Xiang Yuzhen said, "Use your mobile phone."

Xiang Yuzhen took the mobile phone, hid in the distance and made a call home, came back with a red face, and said:

"Mom and Dad said they don't need to bring gifts, it's really good to buy some fruit"

Cui Ning Yile, said:

"You don't have to worry about the gifts, let's go, get in the car!"

As he spoke, Tian Dongqiang, the driver, bodyguard and assistant, drove over, and the two got into the car.

"Mr. Cui, I heard everyone say that the company lost a customer, is it true?"

Cui Ning glanced at Tian Dongqiang, shook his head slightly, and said:

"It's all trivial, it's okay, it's still talking, let's go, what is the address?

Xiang Yuzhen said the address of an alley, and then said:

"If you can't enter the alley, just stop at the mouth of the alley, and there are still a hundred meters left, you can walk in"

Cui Ning heard the address and thought for a moment:

"The address where you live is actually closer to a friend of mine"

"Boyfriend or girlfriend" Xiang Yu really gossiped a little, "It seems that you have a lot of friends, Zhao Weiwei said that you have a wide range of friends, and you have friends all over the world"

"It's an old man in his 70s," Cui Ning said, "The ancestor seems to love the Xinjueluo royal family."

"Oh, that's it, but there are a few old people in the alley, it is said that they are descendants of the royal family, my parents know some, I don't know the old people very well, I know people who are about the same age as me"

The car stopped at the mouth of the alley, Cui Ning took down two wine bottles and a small gift box, and asked Tian Dongqiang to go back to the company first, Cui Ning and Xiang Yuzhen walked through the alley, looking at the red lanterns still hanging in many places, as well as the Spring Festival couplets posted in many homes, and felt the atmosphere of the end of the first month of the old dragon capital.

Xiang Yuzhen looked at the gift Cui Ning was carrying, he couldn't understand it, and then he didn't care about these things, and told Cui Ning the story in the alley when he was a child, and then walked to a courtyard and shouted two sentences:

"Mom and Dad, I'm back"

Cui Ning saw the Spring Festival couplets with the words "Loyal and Heirloom, Poetry and Books for Generations", as well as the traditional Dragon Kingdom buildings, and felt a little like traveling through time and space in a trance.

At this time, a couple in their fifties walked out of the courtyard, the woman was wearing a fuchsia traditional costume on the placket, looking dignified and a little noble, and the man was wearing an ordinary Zhongshan suit, looking simple and honest, typical of the older generation.

Xiang Yuzhen jumped, walked in front of the two old men, held his mother with one hand and his father with the other, and then blushed a little, and introduced the two parties to each other:

"This is my friend Cui Ning, this is my mom and dad"

Cui Ning nodded, and Xiang Yuzhen's father quickly nodded in return:

"Hurry up and sit at home, just now Yuzhen called and said you want to come, I said to clean up the house, and I didn't clean up, the place at home is small, don't mind"

Xiang Yuzhen's mother looked at Cui Ning's clothes and the gift she was carrying, and said to Xiang Yuzhen's father:

"Take the things, don't let Xiao Cui carry them alone, you said Yu Zhen, I don't know how to help Xiao Cui carry things"

"Uncle and aunt, it's not heavy, it's okay" Cui Ning said, and walked into the courtyard with Xiang Yuzhen and his parents.

Although it is said to be a courtyard, but in fact it is a separate courtyard in an alley, after all, it is not the home of the prince and minister, there is no so-called three positive two ears or a few in and a few out, that is, a family, the courtyard area is only a few dozen square meters, and then there is a west wing, a small ear room next to the main hall, which looks compact and has a strong traditional taste.

In addition to the neat stacks of briquettes in the yard, there are more than a dozen Chinese cabbages, which are dried in the yard, and at first glance it is the old habit of storing Chinese cabbage in winter, including old branches and split wood, all stacked into neat and uniform small stacks, and two bicycles are placed in the yard and wiped spotlessly. It can be seen that Xiang Yuzhen's family lives simply, but there are rules and they live a very comfortable life.

"You haven't been to this kind of alley, have you" Xiang Yuzhen's father said, "I have lived here for 50 years, and Yuzhen was born and raised here, and has feelings."

"Let's go into the house," said Xiang Yuzhen's mother, "come into the house and talk"

When a few people entered the house, Cui Ning put down the wine first, and then said to Xiang Yuzhen's father:

"This is the wine I brewed with the best wine base, one of the bottles is hundreds of years of ginseng, the other is a hundreds of years of snow lotus, and the ginseng is still alive, blooming in the wine, you can drink a little bit every day, and then after drinking, you can continue to change to other wine bubbles"

Then opened the gift box and handed it to Xiang Yuzhen's mother:

"Auntie, this is the jade I gave you, it was given to me by the elders in the family, I don't know much about it, and I don't wear it, so I gave it to you. But the box was added later, don't you mind"

Xiang Yuzhen's mother is an entrepreneur after all, she has seen a lot, and she still knows a little about jadeite, seeing the bracelet handed over by Cui Ning, the box is obviously not a high-end box, but since it was matched later, it doesn't matter, but looking at the color of jadeite, you know that it is not an ordinary color.

"Xiao Cui, tell you not to bring gifts, our family is not that kind of person" Xiang Yuzhen's mother motioned for Cui Ning to take a seat, and then continued:

"Xiao Cui, things are too valuable, you can accept the wine, but Jade really can't accept you, this is your heirloom."

"It's really not a family heirloom, it's really someone else's gift, and I don't know much about it," Cui Ning said, "The key is that I really don't know how to give gifts, whenever I think of giving gifts, I go to the supermarket for half an hour to watch, and I don't know what to give."

It just so happens that I have some jade or something at home, just think of it as a junior's heart, or a meal of dumplings from a neighbor, if you talk about the price or something, it will be far away."

Xiang Yuzhen's mother smiled, put the box away, and said:

"Actually, I've been listening to Yuzhen talk about you recently, and my ears are calloused......"

Xiang Yuzhen pouted on the side and said "Mom......"

Xiang Yuzhen's mother took Xiang Yuzhen's little hand, looked at her daughter lovingly, and continued:

"Don't look at our family Yu, it's really heartless, it doesn't seem to have grown up, in fact, I know her best, she has an idea, and she will never be confused in big things, including her work, she fought for it by herself, and her father and I didn't help anything, this little girl, all day long, said that she knew a Cui Ning brother"

Cui Ning looked at Xiang Yuzhen's blushing little face on the side, and a little proud look, and also praised Xiang Yuzhen:

"Yuzhen is super smart, she went to the company to see me when she had nothing to do recently, and then she never forgot a lot of information about the company, if she didn't work in a public institution, I really wanted her to go to work in our company."

"Girl, the public institution is very good" Xiang Yuzhen's father finally put down the wine sent by Cui Ning and interjected:

"Xiao Cui, the ginseng in this wine is not simple, it has been more than a few hundred years, and it seems that it is really alive."

"It should be a few years, in fact, I don't understand, a senior I know understands" Cui Ning said, "Drinking less wine is good for the body, and the base of this wine is also specially approved from the winery, which should be good." I just heard Yuzhen say, you like to study this, and it happens to be at home, so I sent it to you."

"Good wine, I have to soak this ginseng for a few years" Xiang Yuzhen's father carefully put the wine in a closet, and then also took out a few bottles of self-brewed wine to show Cui Ning:

"You see, the snakes I soaked in, and the scorpions, ginseng, goji berries, and seahorses...... It's all a few small people in the alley who study together, and then occasionally get together to have a drink."

"At such an age, remember to drink less, you are small, you have forgotten your last name when you drink" Xiang Yuzhen's mother glanced at her wife, and then asked Cui Ning:

"I didn't prepare it at home today, what do you like to eat? Uncle and aunt invite you to dinner."

"When I entered the alley just now, I saw several home-cooked dishes and dumpling restaurants, I am from Dongshan Province, and I love that bite the most" Cui Ning said, "Just eat dumplings and home-cooked food"

"Actually, my grandfather's generation was also from Dongshan Province, and later some went to Kanto, and some came to Longdu, and then my father's generation was born in Longdu, and from my grandfather's generation, there are also eighty or ninety years," Xiang Yuzhen's father said.

"Look at you, when you talk about eating, you turn over the family tree again" Xiang Yuzhen's mother said, "Then go to the alley to stutter dumplings and home-cooked food, but don't drink a lot"

Xiang Yuzhen's father hehe, and said, "I'll bring a small bottle and accompany Xiao Cui to drink."

"You old man, you will find a reason" Xiang Yuzhen's mother said angrily, "Let's go, Xiao Cui should be hungry too."
