"Laura, it's almost the Spring Festival, you know, I'm definitely going home to celebrate the New Year with my family. Next year, my parents will come to live here, so this year's Spring Festival is very important. Shi Lei said seriously to Laura.

"So, I want to ask, do you want to go back with me for the Spring Festival this year?"

That's right, the most important gift for the whole family is, of course, to bring a daughter-in-law home for the New Year.

You don't see so many people recruiting temporary boyfriends and girlfriends on the Internet, all for a good year.

Especially in a place like Lu Province, it has a special meaning to go home for the New Year, which indicates that you are acknowledging that you and others are a family, which is equivalent to a marriage, and it is a natural thing to get married in the future.

Therefore, if Laura and Shi Lei go back for the New Year, it is equivalent to Laura admitting the identity of her future daughter-in-law, and it is also Shi Lei's announcement to everyone that he has a wife.

In this way, the parents who stay in China do not have to be urged by other relatives and friends to introduce objects to Shi Lei.

"Well, the stone ......" Laura looked at Shi Lei with some hesitation, and stopped talking.

"Oh, it's okay if you don't have time to go back. I know that your company does not have a Spring Festival holiday, and you took a leave of absence last time on August 15, so you don't have to be embarrassed. If we have the opportunity to go back together in the future.

Parents will definitely return to China for next year's Spring Festival. Seeing Laura's hesitation, Shi Lei first unraveled Laura.

"Hmm." Laura looked relieved as she looked relieved. "Actually, I'm about to sue you, I'll accompany you home for the New Year this year." Laura said with a smile at Shi Lei.

"Huh? Your company has allowed you to take the Spring Festival holiday? Although the new law has been passed, it is impossible for you to have nearly a month's vacation to accompany me back to China. Shi Lei asked with some confusion.

California has passed a new law that recognizes the status of the Chinese New Year as a legal holiday, so that Chinese American students and employees can have a holiday to enjoy this traditional holiday.

But the time is definitely not very long, Shi Lei plans to wait until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to come back.

"No, I decided to resign from the company. Of course, I have time to accompany you home for the New Year. Laura said with some pretense of relief.

"Huh? Why did you quit your job suddenly? If it's because of the Spring Festival, it's completely unnecessary. Shi Lei stepped forward and hugged Laura and asked with concern.

"It's not because of that. In fact, I have had this idea before, and it is the struggle in the office.

Do you remember the last time you went to pick me up at the airport, you met another big beautiful woman? It was because of some conflicts at work with her that I ended up in the office with a very awkward atmosphere, and I didn't have the motivation to study quietly as I wanted, so I always wanted to quit my job.

This time I was able to accompany you home for the New Year, so I made up my mind to quit. Laura said something about it.

Although Shi Lei knew that the process in the middle would be more complicated, it seemed that Laura had not received any harm. I'm not going to delve into it. It seems that Laura is just disappointed with the atmosphere in the office.

"Since you're not happy working over there, then resign and resign, and your husband and me have the backing, let's create our own brand when we come back, go to the peak of fashion, and become a fashion queen, think about it, is it still a little excited?"

Shi Lei deliberately made a joke, of course, this is also a sincere blessing to Laura.

"Hmm. Husband, in the future, people will have to rely on you, a big tyrant, to raise you. Laura deliberately made a birdie look. It will be up to you to raise it in the future.

"Don't worry, I promise to raise you for nothing, my husband can eat and drink with you and sleep with you, and I can also give you a few dollars of pocket money every day. Youmu is very intimate, huh? Shi Lei was very cooperative and funny.

Let's put this little episode aside. Shi Lei needs to bring all the big and small gifts when he goes home this time. Maybe for the family, having Laura is enough, and everything else is just a foil.

I put things from various pastures according to the idea at the beginning. They were all sent to Lincoln and their acquaintances, and they were very willing to bring various gifts to visit Colin, and Shi Lei needed to give gifts here during the Spring Festival. Even if it's all delivered.

Entrusting Hanks with all the affairs of the ranch, and telling Grims to start looking for a suitable new ranch, Shi Lei and Laura once again embarked on the journey back home.

After tasting the various products of the ranch, Shi Lei felt that it was necessary to prepare for expansion. If you prepare in advance, you can save a lot of money just in terms of the cost of buying a new ranch.

Shi Lei also told Greens to follow up on the matter of buying a house in Peacock Garden, Shi Lei's previous focus on the few leaned on to strive for a more reasonable price, and his parents should almost come over after the year, and then decide which one to choose.

Before Chinese New Year's Eve, on the 22nd day of the lunar month, Shi Lei and Laura returned to their home in Yizhou City together.

When Shi Lei and Laura entered the house, the brother-in-law's family was already waiting here.

"Good host, good hostess." Seeing the two come in, the first person to greet them was Eva the parrot, who has always been inseparable from Guoguo.

The puppy whose name became Qiuqiu also stepped forward to say hello to the two of them very affectionately. These two pets still sleep in the same room with Guoguo every day.

"Hello uncle, good aunt." Guoguo also came to say hello. Shi Lei and Laura hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Guoguo.

After greeting the family one by one, the two went to the room to put their things away, and then came back and started chatting with the family. According to the family practice, in order to celebrate the return of the two, there must be a table of wine and food today.

didn't let the two of them wait long, and my mother and sister began to serve the dishes one after another.

In addition to the common stir-fried dishes, there is one more ginseng stewed chicken soup, and the raw material is, of course, the white chicken consigned back by Shi Lei. There is also a plate of pink beef cubes, which are also unsurprisingly also produced in the pasture.

"Guoguo likes beef." Guoguo pointed to this plate of beef that should have been carefully divided into small pieces after being fried by her mother in an electric baking pan, and said happily.

"Well, this batch of meat sent back by the stone this time is really good, whether the chicken is made into soup or stir-fried. The taste is all delicious. The taste of the beef is also very good, and then I heard that it is the best steak, so I fried it, then cut it into diced meat, and gave it to the fruit to eat, but she was willing to eat it. My mother was also praising the ingredients.

"Ugh. Absolutely. Both of these are produced in Stone Ranch, and will be the main product in the future, and there is one foie gras that I didn't bring back, which is easy to break, and I'm afraid you won't get used to the taste.

This beef, in particular, is of much better quality than the so-called top-of-the-line Wagyu beef. In the future, the most expensive food in the world will definitely have a place for it. Shi Lei said confidently.

"Huh? The most expensive food? How expensive can it be? Mom asked curiously.

"Now the most expensive beef can be sold for more than 200 US dollars a catty, and we also have similar beef in China, which costs 1,500 yuan a catty. However, this kind of top-quality beef produced in Stone Ranch, I plan to price it a little higher than that, about 2,000 yuan per catty. Shi Lei pretended to be an understatement.

"It's so expensive, can you sell it?" The mother asked with some concern, which also represented the voices of the rest of the family.

"Of course you can, our quality is much better than the so-called top Wagyu beef. Rich in nutrients and easy to absorb, these are all proven by authoritative certificates. And I plan to wait until the New York Food Expo to launch these ingredients and open up the high-end market in one fell swoop.

Other than that. I met a friend on Barbara's side, and his dad was a big influence in the entire food scene. If the two sides work together, there will be no worries about sales. After all, this ingredient is originally intended for high-end consumers. It is not appropriate to sell at a low price. Shi Lei has always been confident in this.

"Oh, that's good. However...... "Mom understood the value of the beef. Looking at the plate of beef that has been eaten on the table, it feels completely different, why do you feel so distressed.

"Oh my god. Let's eat it ourselves, don't worry about that, your son's own cow is not how you want to eat it. Don't be like Laura, you haven't started selling it yet, and you're reluctant to eat it first.

Besides, it's not a cow where all parts of the meat are so expensive. Don't look at it like gold. Shi Lei hurriedly dismissed his mother.

Although he said that, his mother was obviously still very reluctant to look at these beef, and Shi Lei felt that he really shouldn't be embarrassed.

"Guoguo has been living here lately?" Shi Lei hurriedly changed the topic.

"yes. Your brother-in-law's side has been very busy lately, and Guoguo has been living at home with your sister. Your dad and I are retired anyway, and it's good to have the pistachio of Guoguo, and we talk a lot more every day. ”

My mother was very happy when she talked about Guoguo, but my own mother, what do you mean by the eyes that keep looking at me and Laura? We can't just be a kid and play with you.

"Brother-in-law, the situation over there is quite good now?" Shi Lei decisively changed the topic again and asked about his brother-in-law's business situation.

"Well, it's okay. As the New Year approached, some cold-water fish from the reservoir were on the market, and most of them were ordered by your college classmates, saying that they were delivered directly to major hotels, and the price was a little higher than the wholesale price.

The rest of the products were quickly pulled away by the trucks, and they were basically sold as much as they were fished out. ”

Although the brother-in-law tried his best to keep calm, he still couldn't hide his joy when he talked about this. These are the results of his efforts, and Shi Lei feels that his brother-in-law has every reason to be unbridled and happy.

"But the other fishing and entertainment facilities are not open yet, and it's too cold this day. I'm going to open those after the beginning of spring, just in time to run the smell of decoration. The brother-in-law added.

"It's already very good." Shi Lei said happily.

"This batch of cold-water fish will not be able to sell all of them in a short period of time, and this year, relying on the output of this batch of cold-water fish, we will almost be able to recover the cost. The income in the future is basically pure profit. When my brother-in-law said this, he still laughed happily. Of course, Shi Lei was also happy.

Of course, this family banquet was very pleasant, especially with Guoguo's fairy tales, and the table was also full of laughter.

On this day, Shi Lei and Laura had a tiring journey, so they rested early, in addition to jet lag, they also had to recharge for tomorrow's activities. (To be continued......) R1292
