Chapter 0420 - Something May Happen
Speaking of the white-handed second uncle Guo Erqiao, Chen Zifei was interested.
"Xiaobai, your second uncle is definitely a smart man, and he has subverted my previous views on farmers."
"Oh, so highly rated? What's the situation? "White hands are curious.
Chen Zifei said: "After you came to Shanghai, my contact with your suitcase factory was your second uncle. It's true that your second uncle can't speak Mandarin well, but he can at least understand my Mandarin. ”
"But he doesn't speak Mandarin himself, and you can't understand the local dialect he speaks."
"Translator. Your second uncle has a phone in the office, and every time I talk on the phone, he always calls an employee who can speak Mandarin. He said a few words, and the staff translated a few words, without delaying things at all. ”
Everyone laughed.
White hands laughed and said: "Human wisdom is forced. It's hard for you to imagine that my second uncle is an honest man. Ever since I pushed him to the position of factory director, he seems to have changed as a different person. ”
Xiao Yang said: "I am also from the countryside. Actually, the peasants are very smart and very cute. ”
Bai Hand asked: "Lao Chen, I haven't been in touch with my second uncle for a week, how is the market of the suitcase now?" ”
Chen Zifei said: "As you predicted, the plastic suitcase is surging, and the impact on the wooden suitcase is great. On the whole, many self-employed people have withdrawn, and your suitcase factory has a reputation, and its sales are still maintained at the original level. ”
"But the price keeps falling, right?"
"Definitely. The era of profiteering in the suitcase industry has passed, and in my opinion, it should be difficult for the profit margin to exceed 30% in the future. ”
Bai Hand nodded and said, "That's why I'm coming to Shanghai Beach to prepare for the change of career in advance." ”
The two men talked about business, and Xiao Yang had an opinion, "Lao Chen, what did you say when you came, don't talk about work during non-working hours." ”
"Oh, yes, yes. Xiaobai, we can't snub the two beauties. Chen Zifei seemed to listen to his wife's words, and hurriedly smiled and raised his hand to apologize.
Xiao Yang asked Bai Shou, "Xiaobai, we have never met. At the door just now, why did you call me sister-in-law when you opened your mouth? ”
White Hand smiled: "Mainly two points. One is that Lao Chen will not bring other people's wives to see me. The second is that I have seen your group photo in Lao Chen's office. ”
"Really good at talking." Xiao Yang chuckled, "Xiao Chen, you have to remember that only a third of a man's sincerity in flattering you is at most. ”
"I don't know." Chen Lan pursed her lips and smiled.
Chen Zifei hurriedly said: "Wife, don't scare Xiao Chen." ”
Bai Shou said: "Sister-in-law, I have to ask for advice." What kind of theory is this one-third theory, and who invented and summed it up? ”
Chen Lan tugged at the corners of his white hand and signaled him not to be aggressive.
Chen Zifei avoided Xiao Yang's gaze and gave a thumbs up to the white hand.
Xiao Yang was not angry, and explained with a smile, "This is what I read from a foreign magazine, and it is the result of the research of an American professor. Of course, a third is just an approximate number. ”
"What about the other two-thirds?"
"It's basically lies and nonsense and nonsense."
"I beg to differ."
"Oh, really?"
Bai Shou said: "I don't read much, but I don't know much. I know that the truth of science is universal. But the theory you mentioned is not science, sister-in-law, it may be correct in the United States, but it may not be accurate in our country. ”
Xiao Yang said: "The national conditions are different, the society is different, and the culture is different. Xiaobai, maybe you're right. ”
"The United States is a capitalist country, a market economy, mercenary, and individualism prevails. And we are a socialist country, we are more traditional, and of course the people are more simple. Therefore, one-third of the theory does not conform to our social reality. ”
Xiao Yang looked at Bai Shou with a surprised gaze, "Xiaobai, where are you uneducated, you are simply too educated." ”
Chen Zifei smiled: "Wife, you know now." Xiaobai is pretending to be uneducated, he is deeply hidden. ”
"Hehe, don't hold me, I'll be proud."
Xiao Yang smiled: "I have understood, I have understood." But, Xiaobai, I still have an opinion about you. ”
"Oh, please make it clear to my sister-in-law." Busy with white hands.
"You've been in Shanghai for so long, and you haven't come to see your sister-in-law or me, do you look down on us Shanghainese?"
"Where does this begin? Sister-in-law, if you say that the countryside looks down on Shanghainese, will anyone believe it? ”
"Please explain, duh."
Bai Shou said: "Actually, I wanted to visit my sister-in-law a long time ago." In our rural areas, a visit is the highest courtesy. But I've heard that there are many rules in the city, especially in Shanghai, which don't seem to like customers coming to their doors. ”
Chen Zifei said: "Xiaobai, don't listen to people's nonsense. Strangers come to the door, of course, not welcome, but you are a friend. ”
Bai Shou smiled, "Shanghai is not our Bai Village after all, I have to adapt, I have to adapt." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the invitation on the coffee table with his white hand, "Let's say get married, in our place, we won't get married this season." ”
This is the wedding invitation of Ding Yaqiong and Yang Wenbin.
Chen Xiao looked at each other and smiled.
From the time they entered the door to the present, Chen Xiao and his family have read the invitation at least ten times.
It was concluded that the sudden visit of Chen Xiao and his family should be related to the marriage of Ding Yang and his wife.
So, shift the conversation in this direction with no hands.
Chen Zifei said: "Xiaobai, you don't know anything. Yang Wenbin's grandparents are from the countryside and are both 80 years old. His grandfather was sick, and his grandmother was superstitious and wanted to use the marriage of her eldest grandson to rejoice. ”
I see, Bai Hand nodded, Chong Xi he understood.
Baishou glanced at Xiao Yang, feeling her demeanor, as if she didn't think so.
"Lao Chen, your city is the same as our countryside, do you also hold weddings at night?"
Chen Zifei smiled and shook his head, "No." The wedding banquet should be held at noon, but Ding Yaqiong and Professor Yang are both second marriages, and most of the second marriages take place in the evening. ”
Bai Hand asked, "Lao Chen, you and your sister-in-law also received an invitation, right?" ”
Chen Xiao nodded both.
"Xiaobai, the etiquette is to be followed. However, we may not be available to attend. ”
The white hand looked at Chen Zifei in surprise.
Among the group of Shanghai friends who met with white hands, Chen Zifei was the oldest, like a big brother, and he didn't even attend the wedding of the two friends.
Bai Shou said: "I knew that you and your sister-in-law came to me, something must have happened." Lao Chen, you can say it clearly. ”
Chen Zifei hesitated.
Chen Lan didn't speak, and then got up again, "I'm going to watch TV." ”
Xiao Yang sat beside Chen Lan and stretched out his hand to hold her, "Xiao Chen, you can listen." ”
He said to Chen Zifei with his white hand: "Old Chen, don't say anything when you come, what do you mean." ”
Chen Zifei looked at Xiao Yang, "Wife, let's talk about it." ”
Xiao Yang said: "We are worried that something may happen to the wedding of the two of them. ”
