226 The future son-in-law comes to the door
"It must have been that the lunch box was not sold out, so I ran a few more places."
Zhen Yi said loudly, "Sister, brother-in-law, you can sit in the living room for a while, Dad and Mom should come back too." β
"Is business bad lately?" Zhen Xin listened to his brother's words, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, "On such a cold day, if you can't sell out of the rest of it, it's a big deal to take it back and eat it yourself." β
Zhen Yi glanced at her, there seemed to be hesitation on his face, and only after a few seconds did he speak, "Sister, the fast food restaurant is closed." β
"Why?" Zhen Xin was surprised.
"The landlord took back the storefront, saying that he wanted to use it for his own home. Mom and Dad haven't found a suitable store yet, so they have been pulling the food truck around for half a month. You don't know that your parents are going to quarrel every other half a month, just because business is not good. And the day before yesterday, the dining car was almost confiscated, saying that it did not have a permit. β
Zhen Xin often calls Liu Aimei, but most of her parents report good news and not bad news, so she is unaware of this matter.
"I'll go downstairs and buy some cooked food, and pick up my parents by the way." Zhen Yi grabbed the key, changed into shoes and walked out, "Sister, you accompany your brother-in-law at home." β
Zhen Xin had to nod, she couldn't leave Xiao Tingli here by herself, and she couldn't embarrass him to death.
Fortunately, after waiting for a while, Zhen Dacheng and Liu Aimei both returned home, carrying several bags of cooked vegetables in their hands.
Liu Aimei boiled the hot soup in the pot, and while spreading, she put the cooked vegetables on the back of the plate and served them.
Zhen Xin sat beside Liu Aimei, "Dad, Mom, since you haven't found a suitable store yet, you can rest at home for the time being, don't run around outside on such a cold day, it's not safe." After so many years of hard work, you should give yourself a small long vacation. β
"Then what's the matter, the family's daily expenses are taking money out, and if you don't make money, you can't sit and eat nothing?" Zhen Dacheng took out the wine at home, "And Zhen Yi is going to college in August, which is not a few months, and there will be more places to use money at that time." β
The Zhen family's dining room is very small, in fact, it is crowded in the living room, and now the table is full of people, Xiao Tingli has long feet and long hands, and he can't even stretch his legs when he sits there.
"Haven't uncles and aunts thought about doing some business?"
"Business?" Zhen Dacheng sat in the chair, "It takes capital to do business, we are all at this age, and we can't afford to take risks." β
Liu Aimei didn't say a word, Zhen Dacheng slammed into her arm, "Today is your future son-in-law coming to the door, and you have this bitter gourd face?" β
Zhen Xin and Liu Aimei were both stunned, Liu Aimei hurriedly picked up the wine glass, and her eyes swept over Zhen Xin and Xiao Tingli's faces, "Really, really?" β
"Mom, it's not ...... yet"
Xiao Tingli touched Liu Aimei with the wine glass in his hand, "Yes." β
What is it?
Zhen Xin went to pull Xiao Tingli's sleeve, but he held his hand, Xiao Tingli stared at Liu Aimei, "I asked Li Yi to go out and rent a storefront, Auntie, how about opening a restaurant?" β
Liu Aimei didn't react, and Zhen Xin didn't understand.
Only Zhen Dacheng reacted extremely quickly, "Restaurant? That's a good dare, it's definitely more profitable than our little fast food restaurant! β
Zhen Xin withdrew her hand, "No." β
"No," Liu Aimei also shook her head and said, "Don't worry about family affairs." We're already looking at the storefronts and can always find the right one. β
"I've already paid the rent for the first three years. Decoration and personnel recruitment, I will arrange it here, and my aunt and uncle only need to sit in it and collect money. β
Zhen Dacheng was excited, Xiao Tingli continued, "I'll see you in three years, if you can make money, then continue to open, if not, change to another business." β
"Opening a store is not a trivial matter," Zhen Xin held Xiao Tingli's arm, "Let's discuss it again?" β
"I'm not discussing with you," Xiao Tingli smiled on her lips, and her eyes fell to the Zhen family and his wife, "I'm asking my uncle and aunt's opinion." β
Zhen Dacheng stepped on Liu Aimei's instep, Liu Aimei's painful back straightened, Xiao Tingli took a sip of wine and slowly opened his lips, "In the future, when the heart is resting, you can also let her go to the store to help, that place is spacious." β
"Opening a restaurant is not like opening a small fast food restaurant, it is not a simple matter, and the investment cost is not small, and it is not easy for our family to bear," Zhen Xin put his hands on the table, "I don't agree very much......
"I've said it, your objection is invalid," Xiao Tingli didn't put her words in his ears at all, "It's so decided, tomorrow I will let Li Yi come over and take you to the recognition place, and when it opens, I will go with Xinxin." β
"I really don't know what to say," Zhen Dacheng's hand holding the wine glass was shaking, "Actually, I watched my mother follow me in the wind and rain every day, and I was also distressed, but there was no way, there were accidents at home one after another...... How can you do it without making money? β
Xiao Tingli chuckled, "From now on, you don't have to worry about it anymore, the trouble that can be solved with money is actually a trivial matter." β
Zhen Xin grabbed the chopsticks and dishes fiercely, then you have to be rich, Mr. Xiao!
can say that money is a trivial matter, I'm afraid there are only local tyrants of this rank.
Zhen Yi listened, picked up the wine glass in one hand, and interjected beside him, "Does that mean that from now on, the family will not have to spend money to eat?" β
Zhen Xin slapped him on the head, "Did you talk like that?" β
"I'm telling the truth."
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere on the table became lively, Zhen Yi leaned towards Zhen Xin, "My parents have been in a cold war for several days, and dinner is not at the same table, so it's okay." β
Zhen Xin looked at the opposite side, Liu Aimei was talking to Xiao Tingli with a smile, Zhen Dacheng got up and said that there were still peanuts in the cabinet, go get two plates.
The man next to him tilted his neck, and in the half-finger-high wine glass, most of the wine was drunk at once, and Zhen Xin's palm fell to Xiao Tingli's leg, "Drink less." β
After getting drunk, Xiao Tingli was no one could stand it.
"Don't worry, I've got a good amount of alcohol."
Zhen Xin didn't know where Xiao Tingli's confidence came from.
Liu Aimei usually drinks with Zhen Dacheng, but today, while drinking, she suddenly grabbed Xiao Tingli's hand, "Follow me with your heart, and you won't have a good ......life in a few days."
"Don't worry," Xiao Tingli said seriously, "In the future, she will follow me, and every day will be a good day." β
"Yes, yes, yes......"
What Liu Aimei said, Zhen Xin couldn't listen to it anymore.
She clenched her wine glass, her mind was full of Xiao Tingli's words that reassured Liu Aimei, and her heart was sweet as if she had mixed it with honey.
Zhen Yi leaned over, "High energy ahead, it seems that I want to bring my own dog food." β
Zhen Xin stepped on him lightly, "What brand of dog food do you eat?" β
ββ¦β¦β
After dinner, Liu Aimei and Zhen Yi sent the two downstairs.
When he went back, Zhen Dacheng was unpacking the gift with his father, in addition to good wine and good cigarettes, there were some nourishing things.
Zhen Dacheng was not interested in bird's nest, shark fin, etc., he took a heavy box, "What is this?" β
"I guess it's something to eat."
Zhen Dacheng opened the box, his eyes widened in shock, he gasped, Zhen Yi leaned over and looked, "I'll go!" β
Inside lie eight pieces of gold, bowls, plates, chopsticks, ornaments made of pure gold, etc. Zhen Yi nodded with his fingers, picked up one of them, and held it in his hand, "It's heavy." β
Zhen Dacheng smiled from ear to ear, "This person from the Xiao family is generous." β
On the way back, Zhen Xin couldn't hold back and asked the people around her, "What are those gifts?" β
"It wasn't given to you, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
"I always want to know if it's going to be more than they can handle."
Xiao Tingli opened the car window a little, and there was a cool breeze outside rushing in, the man's hand fell to his neck, pulled his tie from side to side, and reached over to wrap Zhen Xin's palm. Xiao Tingli glanced out the window, then turned his head, and a pair of eyes swept under the broken shadow of the street lamp, "What is their tolerance?" β
"For example, if it's too valuable, you can't do it."
"What could be more valuable than you?"
Zhen Xin was dumbfounded, "You-"
It's really flirtatious if you don't agree with a word, but Zhen Xin still eats this set, so don't blame her, what woman doesn't eat this set?
Xiao Tingli had a serious expression on his face, "Your father can rest assured that he will put you in my hands, and for this, they deserve the best thing I can give." β
"Am I really that good in your eyes?"
Zhen Xin listened to some unnutritious compliments, saying that she was beautiful, saying that she was good-looking, but she was not confident enough to that extent, if Xiao Tingli was a person who could win it just by relying on beauty, today, there would be no more Zhen Xin with her.
She thought that Xiao Tingli was so good at talking about love, she must have something sweet to brew.
She pricked up her ears and was about to listen, but saw Xiao Tingli leaning into her ear, "In my eyes, there is no one to compare with you." β
Zhen Xin tightened his coat for the first time, hugged his chest, and pinned his face out of the window with a strong pretending to be calm.
On the day the restaurant opened, Xiao Tingli took Zhen Xin over, the faΓ§ade was spacious and heroic, the two shops were opened, and there was a floor above.
Liu Aimei is in good spirits, and the restaurant has invited two waiters, a chef, a dim sum chef, and two kitchen workers to clean up the restaurant inside and out.
The second floor is a private room, decorated in a very stylish style, one for each of the small, medium and large, and there is a movable door in the middle, which can be opened into a whole area when needed.
The restaurant is opposite Zhen's neighborhood, which is a commercial building, surrounded by residential areas, and most importantly, it is the first brand chain restaurant to open in the surrounding area.
Xiao family.
Xiao Zheng came out of the kitchen with pastries, she came to the coffee table and saw Xiao Sheng playing chess, "Brother, try it." β
"It's not that there are no servants at home, so you don't have to be busy." Xiao Sheng didn't raise his head.
"It's not idle, it's idle."
Xiao Sheng took a piece of mung bean cake, and as soon as he put it in his mouth, he saw the housekeeper come in. Xiao Sheng picked up the handkerchief next to him, wiped his fingers lightly, and the housekeeper stepped forward a few steps, "Master, today is the opening of the Zhen family's restaurant." β
"I'll see."
