Chapter 254: Love can't help
The car turned into the parking lot of the farmhouse, and from a distance, a man in a white coat and a chef was squatting in the doorway and smoking. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey, why is he here?" Wang Dalun couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that familiar face.
"Who?"
"My elementary school classmates, we are from the same village. β
As he spoke, the car stopped at the door. The chef, who was squatting and smoking, thought that a guest had come to the door and quickly stood up.
"Winter melon!" Wang Dalun shouted as he got out of the car.
"Ha, Da Lun, it turned out to be you!" said Winter Melon in surprise.
But when he saw Fan Ziyi getting down from the co-pilot, he was stunned for a moment, and his expression of surprise actually became restrained.
"Ziyi, this is my elementary school classmate Dong...... Oh, Wang Dong. Winter melon, this is my girlfriend, you don't need to introduce it, you should know each other too, right?" Wang Dalun introduced with a smile.
Although Fan Ziyi has been back with him a few times, Wang Dong has seen him for the first time. He is a chef who works outside all year round, and the Chinese New Year is originally the busiest time for catering companies.
"Know, know!" Wang Dong nodded repeatedly.
"Brother Dong, hello. β
Since she is her boyfriend's classmate and a villager, Fan Ziyi naturally behaved very amiably and stretched out her hand with a smile.
"Oh, Miss Fan, hello, hello!" Wang Dong hurriedly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and wiped his white coat vigorously, only then did he carefully shake Fan Ziyi's hand, and the whole person was immediately refreshed.
Joking a big star not only took the initiative to shake hands with him, but also called himself Brother Dong, if it was in Shanghai, I am afraid that no one would believe this kind of cowhide blowing out.
"Woohoo!"
Rose, who was in the car, saw that the owner had not released herself, so she screamed anxiously. Yesterday it was put in a cage because the hotel could not take pets.
Wang Dalun hurriedly walked over and released it. Rose seemed to sense that she was home, sniffed east and west, and then walked straight into the house.
"Yo, where did this dog come from?"
Fan Meili came out when she heard the voice, although she had spoken on the phone in advance, she was still happy to see her son coming back with his girlfriend, and pulled Fan Ziyi's hand for a while.
"Winter melon, when did you come back?" Wang Dalun handed a cigarette to Wang Dong.
"It's been more than a month since I came back, and it just so happened that your family was looking for a chef, so I came back when I got the letter. Wang Dongdao.
"Didn't you do a good job in Shanghai, how did you expect to come back?" Wang Dalun said in surprise.
Wang Dong and his elementary school classmates went to learn to cook before finishing junior high school, and later went to Shanghai to work, and the two have not seen each other for nearly seven or eight years. However, it is said that Wang Dong is doing well in Shanghai, and now the most magnificent three-story house in the village is his family.
"Although the income in Shanghai is good, I need money to rent a house and eat anywhere. In addition, when the children are older, they want to study, but they can't study in Shanghai, so they can only go back to their hometowns. Also, my wife is pregnant again, and I don't feel at ease without an old man by my side. Wang Dongluo looked a little embarrassed.
"Are your children going to school?" Wang Dalun was surprised, Wang Dong was a few months younger than him.
"We are different from you, you were still in college in the capital when I got married. My son is seven years old and has just entered first grade. Hey, you and Jin Suo have been together for a few years, when are you going to get married? When I first saw the news that you and Jin Suo were on good terms, I told my co-workers that you were my hair and that we grew up together with bare butts, and others thought I was bragging. Wang Dong said with a smile.
It's really more popular than people, other people's children have already gone to school, and he hasn't settled here yet, Wang Dalun can only vaguely say: "We're not in a hurry, it's still early." β
"Also, I heard that you celebrities got married very late. Wang Dongshen nodded approvingly.
Wang Dalun and Wang Dong were chatting, and Fan Ziyi was shouting to go to the cabin to have a look.
"Ah Dong, look at the store, I'll take Da Lun and Ziyi to the cabin. Fan Meili took care of Wang Dongdao before leaving.
"Don't worry, Aunt Four. β
Before the meal arrived, several waiters hired by the village had not yet come to work.
The chalet is actually a few steps away from the hotel, less than five minutes walk.
"The cabins are already open?"
Wang Dalun didn't expect the cabin to open so soon.
"September 18, it's going to be sent, the lip gloss is good, and your dad has found someone to calculate, it's a good day. Fan Meili smiled.
"Then how is the business in the past two days?" asked Fan Ziyi.
"It's only been a few days since it opened, and this popularity hasn't been hit yet, and there is no business. β
Although she said that there was no business, Fan Meili was not in a hurry at all, and even said with a little joy on her face: "But there are a lot of reservations for the National Day, and the first and second are full." β
Although the chalet has only been open for a few days, the publicity work has been done for a long time. Fan Meili made the farmhouse very clean, the dishes are rich and delicious, and the location of the place is right between Hangzhou and Qiandao Lake, two of the most popular tourist attractions in the province, which attracts many tour groups to dine here halfway.
And the old lady is still very active, as long as the tour group comes to eat, the tour guide and the driver have a certain percentage of rebates. In this way, everyone is happy, and everyone wins. In fact, the most important thing to open a farmhouse or homestay is to deal well with a travel agency.
Ten small wooden houses stand in a patchwork on a corner of the col. The col is so large that only ten cabins occupy a fifth of the entire col. A concrete road more than four meters wide runs from the provincial road to the inside.
The most important thing in this mountain is bamboo, so the entire area of the cabin is fenced with bamboo. The old lady stood in front of the bamboo gate and pointed to a winding path, and said quite proudly: "When it gets cold, I will discuss with your father to prepare to re-pave this road with stone slabs, and build a viewing platform on the top of the mountain to overlook the Fuchun River." In the future, tourists will live here and have one more attraction to play. β
"Fourth grandma, little uncle, wow! Little aunt, you're here too!" Wang Caiqin, who heard the movement, walked out and immediately exclaimed when she saw Fan Ziyi.
Hearing Wang Caiqin call herself a little aunt, Fan Ziyi was quite calm, and while greeting Wang Caiqin, she took out a small packaged gift from her bag and gave it to her.
Wang Caiqin opened it and saw that it was actually a beautiful lady's watch, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly excused herself and said, "This is too precious, little auntie, I don't dare to ask for it." β
"Take it, take it, if you don't take it, I'll be angry. Fan Ziyi said with a smile.
Wang Dalun glanced at it, there are a lot of small gifts such as watches at home, all of which are given by girlfriends participating in various activities, and they are all very beautiful, and they are worth hundreds or thousands of yuan. Of course, girlfriends don't wear this kind of thing, and they are usually given away.
He didn't care, but the old lady saw Fan Ziyi's gesture so generous, and she looked like she was in pain. But it was not easy to say anything in front of Caiqin, so he could only echo: "Caiqin, your little aunt gave it, you can accept it." As he spoke, he introduced: "Caiqin is now the foreman here." β
Wang Caiqin didn't dare to accept it, but she was also afraid of Fan Meili, seeing that the proprietress nodded, although she was still very polite verbally, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes, and said, "Little aunt, I'll take you to visit." β
"Okay!"
Fan Ziyi followed Wang Caiqin inside.
The old lady grabbed Wang Dalun and complained in a low voice: "You tell Ziyi, there is no need to send such a valuable thing." It's expensive, isn't it?"
"It's okay, this kind of thing was given by others when Ziyi participated in the event, and this time I came back and brought a lot, and everyone will share it when the time comes." Wang Dalun said with a smile.
In fact, in addition to watches, there is also a large bag of belts, wallets, sunglasses, etc.
"What will you share, what will you send this time, what will you send in the future? The old lady glared at him.
"Got it, it's all up to you, you can arrange it, okay!"
Not to mention, what the old lady said is still very reasonable. The truth of Shengmien's fight against Mi is eternal.
Walking into the bamboo fence gate, the path inside is paved with gravel and covered with stone slabs. It's all made of local materials, the cost is very low, and it's wild.
The greenery on both sides of the path and in front of and behind the cabins is also good. The old lady said that most of them were dug from the mountains, and a small number of more unique flowers and trees, such as boxwood balls and podocarpus, were collected from nearby villagers' homes.
In recent years, with the development of the economy, all parts of the country are engaged in the renovation of the old city or the construction of new cities, the demand for greening is very large, and now many villagers have engaged in the planting of flowers and trees.
"I'm going to live here, I'm going to live here. After visiting the chic cabins, Fan Ziyi clamored to live here.
Although the cabin is not big, the floor and walls are pine, and there is a fragrance of pine wood when you walk into the house, and the environment is really good because of the birds and flowers here.
"Okay, anyway, there have been no guests for the past two days, the quilts and sheets are new, whichever building you live in. Fan Meili looked at her future daughter-in-law and said with a doting face, "But I can only live until the National Day, and from the first day, the rooms have been booked out." β
"No problem. A friend of No. 2 got married in Ningbo, and Ziyi and I went to the wedding, and after that, we went directly to northern Fujian. "This is all agreed before, stay here for a week, then go back to northern Fujian for ten days, and then return to Beijing.
Because he wanted to live in a cabin, Wang Dalun simply unloaded all his luggage here, and then drove home with his wife and girlfriend. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Laifu coming up, followed by a small milk dog.
"What a cute puppy!"
The puppy is chubby, like a meat ball, and there is a small bell hanging around his neck, and when he walks down, he is about to make Fan Ziyi cute.
"Laifu is born again?" Wang Dalun was also surprised.
"Well, the last time you left not long after, it was probably the last litter, so I kept one for myself. β
Counting that Laifu is almost nine years old, it stands to reason that he has entered menopause, and he only gave birth to a litter in the first two years, but he didn't expect to give birth to another litter this year, as the old lady said, this may be the last litter of Laifu.
Rose, who followed up with a probe and brain, also wanted to sniff the little milk dog in the hostess's hand, but was grinned twice by Laifu, and the frightened thing quickly clamped his tail and hid behind Wang Dalun.
"Laifu, this is your daughter, forget it! It has no malice, it just wants to see its little sister, don't you kill it, okay?" Fan Ziyi patted Laifu's head and said softly.
Wang Dalun looked very funny, how could the dog have any family affection, there are many dogs in the village, many of them are the descendants of Laifu, and it is not often seen that they fight together.
Fortunately, Rose is very docile, and when she comes to kill her, she looks cowardly. Even the old lady said with a disgusted look when she saw it: "This dog can't watch the house at all." β
Not long after returning home, Director Wang heard the news that he had gone home early, stood on the side of Xiao Xiali, and repeatedly looked at the car that his son gave him, and was very satisfied.
"Well, yes, where's the key?"
"What?"
"Try the car, come, give me the key. Director Wang looked eager to try.
"You haven't got your driver's license yet, can you do it?" Wang Dalun said with a skeptical look on his face although he took out the key. He didn't want anything to happen to his father.
"The small road test has already passed, and the big road test is still half a month. Oh, you still think your dad can't drive? You forget, I used to drive a tractor. β
The memories of the two people are mixed together, sometimes they are really forgetful, when the father said this, he remembered that when he was a child, his father was really a little tractor driver in the village. However, for the sake of safety, he still got into the car with him.
Wang Fugui's movements were a little blunt at first, but after getting acquainted with it, the car drove more and more, and Wang Dalun put his heart down. Wang Fugui is obviously very proud, private cars are still rare in these years, and he Wang Fugui has a car, which is the number one in the village. He looked at the car while driving, and said with a look of pity: "Your car is not bad, if it is used to buy vegetables, it will be really bad." β
"Then buy a car that specializes in groceries. Wang Dalun said disapprovingly, now the Wuling bread commonly used in the countryside is quite suitable for buying vegetables, and it is not expensive, and the new car is only 30,000 or 40,000 yuan.
"You're talking lightly, the family has just built a small wooden house, what do you want to buy?"
"I pay. β
"No, no, no. Wang Fugui's head shook like a rattle, and said: "Your mother will definitely not agree, and if you get two cars at home, others will think that you are burning in a panic! It is better to buy a three-wheeled motorcycle for two or three thousand yuan, the same." β
Wang Dalun thinks about it, and besides, his father is also the village director now, and he must pay attention to the influence in all aspects.
"Oh, by the way, why did the chef change in the store?"
He remembered that the original chef was very good, and he didn't bother to ask the old lady just now.
"Hmph! I jumped ship, and I was poached by Yang Datou's dog. A new farmhouse has also opened opposite Yangjia Village, didn't you see it when you came?" Wang Fugui said with an indignant face.
Wang Dalun recalled carefully, and when he came back, he seemed to have seen a newly opened farmhouse on the side of the provincial road.
"Your mother and I were kept in the dark about this, and the cook was also an unfamiliar dog, so he jumped ship when he said he would change jobs, and he didn't even say hello. If it weren't for the master of the canteen of the agricultural machinery factory who came to help for a few days, it would have almost closed. β
Wang Dalun's hometown is called Wangjiaao, and the next village is called Yangjia Village, and Yang Datou in his father's mouth is the village director of Yangjia Village. In fact, the two villages are actually two big clans with the surnames Wang and Yang, and there were often fights between the two villages before the liberation, and the hatred has continued to this day, and there are few people intermarrying between the two villages so far.
Speaking of that Yang Datou, in addition to the grievances of his ancestors, he also had a new feud with his father Wang Fugui. Back then, my father could have been a soldier, but the quota was given by Yang Datou. But there are two sides to everything, if my father really went to the army, I'm afraid there would be no Wang Dalun in this world.
"It turned out that the chef's salary was 2,000 yuan, but it was poached by Yang Datou's dog 3,000 yuan a month......" Yang Datou not only dug up the chef, but also grabbed business, obviously singing against him. Speaking of this, Wang Fugui got angry, and kept babbling in his mouth.
"Then how much does Wang Dong give him a month?" Wang Dalun asked again.
"Of course, it's also three thousand, otherwise what else can you do! Wang Dong has been mixing outside for so many years, in fact, his skills are average. Wang Fuguiwu was indignant, in the final analysis, it was because of that Yang Datou, it was simply a price hike!
Although Wang Fugui said so, when he ate at night, Wang Dong was in charge, and the taste was still very good, and the dishes were much more varied than the previous chefs.
The days in my hometown are always so leisurely, I don't have to buy groceries or cook, I open a restaurant at home, and I can say what I want to eat. In the morning, I accompanied my girlfriend to climb the mountain or go fishing by the Fuchun River, and in the afternoon, I sat on the balcony of the cabin, soaked in a pot of fragrant tea, read the script, and walked around in my head.
Chalet B&B, there was no business in the first two days, only one or two backpackers or self-driving travelers who temporarily came to the door, until two days before the National Day, there were more people all of a sudden, all of which were introduced by travel agencies.
"I'm going to live in a log cabin too, I'm going to live in a log cabin too. β
On September 30, Duoduo came back from vacation, and his father drove to school without a license to pick him up, but he was disgusted by this unconscionable girl. There is no other reason, because the other parents who came to pick up were driving luxury cars, and Xiao Xiali was too cold, so she might as well come back by herself. Fortunately, she just disliked the car, and didn't dislike her father, otherwise I'm afraid even Wang Dalun couldn't help but repair her.
No, this girl heard that Wang Dalun and Fan Ziyi lived in a cabin during this time, and they were arguing to live.
"What to stay! The rooms are all booked out. "I was yelled at by the old lady.
Not only did she not have a place to live, but even Wang Dalun and Fan Ziyi also moved back, after all, this is a business, and there is no reason to live by herself and push the guests out. Because it is Golden Week, the house price has risen by nearly 50% compared with usual, usually 121 rooms, now it has to be 18, and this is still the price for travel agencies.
"As for the homework book, as well as the class notes, take them out and show them to me. In view of Wang Duoduo's criminal record, Wang Dalun said to her in a strict tone.
"What's so nice, I did all my usual homework and took my class notes. Wang Duoduo muttered in his mouth and refused to take it out.
"Stop talking nonsense, take it out quickly, or I'll ask my mother to ask you." β
Wang Dalun threatened her with his mother. Wang Duoduo had no choice but to obediently take it out of his schoolbag.
He picked up a homework book at random, he didn't read the contents, just looking at the handwriting, he had a headache.
"Look at you, the big girl's family, this word is the same as a dog's paws, you are embarrassed! β
He can write a good hand now, enough to teach this girl a lesson.
Fan Ziyi also took a copy and looked at it curiously, and couldn't help but say: "Duoduo, what your brother said makes sense, the word girl is also a faΓ§ade, you have to practice it well, otherwise it will be embarrassing to write it in the future!"
Don't look at Wang Dalun's unconvinced face when she said it, as soon as Fan Ziyi said it, her face suddenly turned red, and she whispered: "Sister Ziyi, I will definitely practice hard in the future." β
Wang Dalun looked at his girlfriend in surprise, and Fan Ziyi gave him a smug look.
However, he quickly figured out the reason, on the one hand, Fan Ziyi's identity, after all, she is a quasi-sister-in-law, and she has to give face. But more importantly, Duoduo, this girl is still begging Fan Ziyi to sign a photo for her.
No need to ask, this girl must be bragging at school that Wang Dalun is her brother, Fan Ziyi is her sister-in-law and so on. Then he took his sister-in-law's signed photo and displayed it everywhere.
"I only have one requirement for you now, you must be in the top 20 of the class in the final exam, otherwise any gifts, any signed photos, all of them will be exempted from talking. β
Wang Dalun is not a mouthful, he has learned before that the admission rate of this school is okay, basically around 50%, as long as the ranking remains in the top 20 of the class, there is hope for the university entrance examination in the future.
"Ah?" Wang Duoduo was stupid when he heard it, when the school first started, the school conducted a thorough examination, although her ranking was not at the bottom, but it was also within the bottom five, more than 40 people in the class, with her current results, want to squeeze into the top 20, how easy it is to say!
"The first thirty lines are not good?" the girl began to bargain.
"No, don't talk about the top 30, even the top 25, you have to be in the top 20. Wang Dalun cut off her idea of continuing to bargain.
Wang Duoduo couldn't help it, he looked at Fan Ziyi with a pitiful face, hoping that his sister-in-law could help her speak in the future.
But she was immediately disappointed, this time Fan Ziyi cooperated with her boyfriend very well, spread her hands towards her, looked at Wang Dalun again, and finally shrugged, meaning that this is your brother's decision, and he can't help it!
