Chapter 401, a different farewell to the old and welcome the new
After returning from the street that day, Liu Sheng took Jin Yang, Jin Liu, Jin Niu and Jin Yu to live in Luoguxiang.
Because there are still a lot of guests on the side of Luoguxiang, and as soon as Tian Yunzhou and Tian Fangzhou leave, there is no one in charge of the inn.
Originally, Li Xiang and Jinzhu should also go over together, but Jinzhu still has a little work to do, she has to design a few more large pendants or screens, and then point out how these four embroiderers should be laid out, how to match the wiring, how to match the color, where to use what stitches, and so on.
Jin Zhu means that she has already taught everything that should be taught, and the rest depends on their own understanding and proficiency, which requires a long time of practice.
Since it is practice, there is no need to come to the imperial capital, and practicing in their hometown is the same, so Jin Zhu has to assign them some homework.
This is also what Li Yuyuan meant, because for her, this is not only homework, but also the design artwork of embroidery samples.
It took two whole days to send the four embroiderers away, and Jin Zhu and Li Xiang hurriedly moved to Luoguxiang.
Because there are more than 20 guests in the inn, these guests are basically from the south, saying that they want to come to see the tradition of the imperial capital for the New Year, and the Luoguxiang side is just right, with traditional architecture, traditional food, traditional crafts, traditional juggling, etc., everything.
So these guests stayed all the time, and Liu Sheng was embarrassed to say that it was closed.
But the waiters and cooks of the inn went home for the New Year, so Jin Zhu and Li Xiang temporarily became the chefs of the stove room, the small workers were Jin Yang and Jin Yu, Liu Sheng was the lobby manager, responsible for ushering in the delivery, and Jin Liu and Jin Niu were the waiters, responsible for cleaning the room and changing the sheets.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Jin Zhu and Li Xiang worked in the kitchen all day, and it was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that they made three tables of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, in addition to their own family, as well as the more than twenty tourists at the inn.
Three tables were set up in the hall on the first floor, and while the guests were taking pictures and commenting on the dishes, Li Xiang and Jin Zhu also came in in clean clothes.
"Yo, we have a good fortune today, today's chef is our big star Li Xiang and big writer Yang Jinzhu." Tourist A said with a smile.
"I already knew, we also knew that it was the big star Jin Liu who cleaned and changed the sheets for us every day, tsk, no wonder my friends recommended your inn, I really earned it today." Tourist B was smiling while taking pictures of Li Xiang and Jinzhu with his mobile phone.
"Everyone can be together is fate, especially when the family is reunited, you have chosen our hometown inn, we should give you back a sense of home, I hope you can like today's dishes." Jin Zhu said with a smile.
"Yo, this little girl looks quite pleasing, are you twenty years old? So capable at a young age, let me take a look, what are your hands made of, you can write articles and cook, Auntie, I like it when I see it. Tourist C took Jin Zhu's hand and gave Jin Zhu a red envelope.
Because Liu Sheng and Jin Liu had already told everyone before, they didn't have to pay for this meal, and the inn invited everyone, so someone prepared a red envelope for Jin Zhu and a few small ones.
Jin Zhu was waiting to be accepted or not, and at a glance, he saw that Jin Yang and Jin Liu were also pushing around with others.
"Listen to Auntie's words, take it, if you don't take it, they won't dare to take it, and there is not much money, just to celebrate it." Tourist Ding persuaded Jin Zhu on the side.
Some of these people didn't know Jin Zhu's life experience, but after they moved in, they chatted together, knowing that Jin Zhu was the author of "Filial Piety", and they also knew what the situation of Jin Zhu's family was before, plus there was no elder in this family for the New Year, it was Jin Zhu and Li Xiang who were busy with a few younger brothers and sisters, and the youngest child was only five or six years old, so these tourists immediately felt pity when they saw it.
Of course, they also know that there is absolutely no shortage of red envelopes of two hundred yuan in Jinzhu now, and what they want to express is just a kind of blessing and love from the elders to the younger generations, which has nothing to do with money.
"Then it's better to be respectful, thank you Auntie, thank you everyone." Jin Zhu had no choice but to accept the red envelope.
Fortunately, she had already thought of this, she knew that there were three children among these tourists, and she and Li Xiang also prepared three red envelopes, so Jin Zhu just accepted the red envelopes here, and Li Xiang also sent a red envelope to the other party's children.
"Okay, the red envelope is over, everyone is seated, the first glass of wine should be Ah Sheng's respect to everyone, Ah Sheng, don't you come and say a few words?" Li Xiang asked with a smile.
"Come on, you are the head of this family, how can I do this?" Liu Sheng waved his hand and excused himself.
He has always been not good at speaking in front of outsiders, and he rarely speaks in front of outsiders, which is just the opposite of Tian Fangzhou, so most of the outreach activities during this period were run by Tian Fangzhou, and he was only responsible for planning.
"Ah Sheng, this is different, this inn is your hard work, and you are the biggest boss of this inn, we are gathered here today because of you." Li wants to know where Liu Sheng's shortcomings are, but with the gradual expansion of his career territory, he always has to overcome his obstacles, of course, the sooner the better.
"That's it, Brother Asheng, come on, in the future, my eldest brother-in-law will come when I'm at home, and you will come when I'm at the inn." Jin Niu hurriedly picked up a glass of wine and put it in Liu Sheng's hand.
"Well, uh, the first glass of wine, on behalf of all the shareholders of the inn, I salute all of you, and wish you all a happy New Year, a happy family, and all the best." After Liu Sheng finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all.
However, there was not much wine in the glass, just the red wine at the bottom of the glass, which he had personally poured for everyone just now.
"Yo, little offspring, you became a boss at such a young age, you can't see it, how old are you, have you graduated from college?" A tourist asked.
In everyone's general perception, they all thought that this inn was opened by Li Xiang, because these people didn't look very old, and they all looked like students, so they took it for granted that only Li Xiang could come up with so much money to open an inn, and it was also a fashion and atmosphere for celebrities to open restaurants and bars.
"I'm a junior, I can't do it well, I want to help me do a lot of things, I just came up with an idea." Liu Sheng saw that someone praised him, and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Brother Asheng, don't underestimate an idea, my eldest brother-in-law said, if it weren't for my sister's idea, he wouldn't have won this GM architectural design award, so ah, your idea is also quite valuable, otherwise we wouldn't all become shareholders." Jin Liu sincerely praised Liu Sheng.
Anyway, this inn is done, I heard Liu Sheng say that the net income in the past eight months is 2 million, if it is not for the expansion of the branch, their sisters and brothers can get at least 200,000 dividends each.
"Yes, yes, Brother Asheng, don't underestimate your idea, I'm still waiting for when you will open the inn to the United States, so that I don't have to struggle, just lie down and spend money." Jin Yang also has an account in his heart.
"Second sister, how can you spend money lying down?" Taurus asked.
"Stupid, now that you have the Internet, you can buy whatever you want to buy and just move your thumb on the bed." Jin Yang knocked the golden bull on the head.
"It's called getting something for nothing, and it's shameful." Taurus rolled his eyes.
Jin Yang put down his chopsticks when he saw it, and rubbed it with both hands holding the head of the golden bull.
"Okay, Jin Yang, today is the New Year, don't bully the golden bull." Li Xiang reminded Jin Yang that he was afraid that the two of them would make a fuss and turn around and knock over the plates and plates.
"His eldest brother-in-law, it's time for the second glass of wine." Liu Sheng saw that someone stood up with a cup to toast, and hurriedly shouted Li Xiang, who was idle and worried.
Li Xiang didn't shirk when he heard this, stood up with his wine glass, and walked to the middle of the two tables, "Elders, brothers, sisters, brothers and sisters, happy New Year." This year is the first year of our inn's opening, we are fortunate to be able to get together with you to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, feel particularly touched and warm, because at this time you chose us, is the greatest recognition and encouragement to our inn, therefore, we wish everyone a happy life in the new year, good health, and better year by year. ”
Li Xiang has seen the world after all, and this kind of occasion is pediatric for him, so he can say a few words more smoothly than Liu Sheng.
"Okay, good, I didn't expect this big star to be so unshelfed, and we also wish you two husbands and wives to grow old and have a noble son early." Tourist Jia happily replied.
"This one wants it, it wants it." The tourist laughed and coaxed.
Just when it was lively, there was movement at the door again, it turned out that just now a tourist posted today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to Li Xiang's Weibo, and some fans who were hanging out in Luogu Alley knew about it and hurried over, they also wanted to try Li Xiang's craftsmanship, and also wanted to take a photo with Li Xiang for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
As soon as these people came, they were even more gossipy, the atmosphere was very lively, and the laughter was endless, until ten o'clock in the evening, when Jin Zhu brought the dumplings to the table, everyone dispersed one after another.
Sending off all the guests, the family sat on the sofa in the lobby while watching TV and laughing, the old rules, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and moving the summary that should have been on the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the past to the present.
Although Li Xiang had a little bumps in the road this year, in general, the result was still very good, and it could even be said to be a blessing in disguise, because if it weren't for Kang Xuexi's force, Li Xiang would definitely go to the United States to study, then he would definitely say goodbye to the entertainment industry, and naturally he wouldn't be able to earn so much money and get this land, and Liu Sheng's career would not be able to expand so quickly.
This year is a mixed blessing for Liu Sheng, the joy is that he finally has his own career, and he can live well without relying on his father in the future; Worryingly, since then, he has not been much different from an orphan.
This year, the Jinzhu sisters and brothers were very smooth, Jinzhu's career was in full bloom, Jin Yang was admitted to the ideal school and the ideal major, and Jin Liu finally received the role of the second female and the third woman, not to mention the golden bull, he got the four-stage certificate of the professional Go competition, and also got the ticket to the China, Japan and South Korea Youth Go Competition.
"Jin Yu, it's your turn, you are a new member of our family, what have you done this year, what are the good and bad things." Taurus asked Jin Yu.
Jin Yu, who was holding her head and listening to her brothers and sisters with her eyes wide open, unexpectedly Taurus would call her by name, and hurriedly stood up, "I, I ......"
"Jin Yu, sit down and say, this is not the teacher's class, you don't need to stand up." Jin Liu tugged at her clothes and sat down.
"I, I won't say."
"Tell me what you're happiest about this year, what you're most unhappy about, and what you'd like to do the most next year." It's still Jin Liu who is teaching her.
"Oh, the happiest thing I am with my brothers and sisters, I have a book, a big house to live in, meat to eat, milk to drink, new clothes to wear, and the most unhappy thing is that I am so stupid that I can't learn anything." When the last sentence came out, Jin Yu was quite annoyed.
"What about the others?" Jin Yang was a little surprised to see that she didn't mention Zhou Shuixian and Sun Xiaoyan.
"What else, what else?" Jin Yu looked ignorant.
"What do you most want to do next year?" Jin Zhu asked her softly.
"I want to be with my brothers and sisters next year, I like this home, I want to go to school here, I want to learn to paint, I want to learn embroidery from my eldest sister."
After speaking, seeing that everyone was looking at her, Jin Yu was a little embarrassed, afraid that everyone would think that she was too poor and loved rich, so she looked at everyone timidly, and added, "Actually, I miss my mother too, I miss Jin Ye's little brother, eldest sister, do you think my mother will come to pick me up?" ”
Jin Yu's words made everyone fall silent for a moment.
Especially Jin Zhu and Jin Yang.
Because Jin Zhu received a call from Lawyer Bai some time ago, he sent someone to Dongguan three times to get Jin Ye's hair or blood without success, saying that the main room knew about Sun Xiaoyan and Jin Ye's deposits, and once took someone to find trouble with Sun Xiaoyan, threatening to snatch Jin Ye away and take these two children abroad.
Sun Xiaoyan hid her parents and children for this reason, and even Sun Xiaoyan herself hid.
In this case, where can Sun Xiaoyan still take care of Jin Yu?
But these words, Jin Zhu and Jin Yang didn't dare to tell Jin Yu, none of them could see that Jin Yu didn't have a sense of security in this family, and it was normal for her to think that Sun Xiaoyan wanted Jin Ye, because after all, she grew up with Sun Xiaoyan, and her blood nature was also constantly cut.
Just like Jin Yang and Jin Liu, they have been thinking about her very much since Li Xiaolian left, and it is precisely because they can't think that they will hate, and because of hatred, they will break off this thought, and this desire and hatred will gradually become light with the passage of time.
For example, now, Jin Yang and Jin Liu rarely think of Li Xiaolian, except for the New Year's Festival and birthday, they will receive a text message from Li Xiaolian, and they basically have no contact at other times.
But Jin Yu is different, she is still young, she has just left Sun Xiaoyan, and she must not have fully accepted this reality from the bottom of her heart. (To be continued.) )
