Chapter 228 Greetings from the Far Sea
Xiao Siya thought that the sales call of real estate just now was still unrelenting, so she picked it up and said directly: "I'm not interested in the house, please don't call again!" ”
"Siya, that ...... It's me. A male voice rang out, still with some weakness.
"Huh?" Xiao Siya heard this familiar voice and realized that she had scolded the wrong person: "Why are you, I thought it was another sales call." I'm sorry. ”
"Hahaha, that's right." Shen Shengsheng smiled awkwardly, touched his nose, and then continued, "Actually, it's because my sister told me your flight time, so I guess you're here now." I just called your phone and found that you hadn't turned it on yet, so I called your landline directly. ”
"I'm sorry, I just talked too seriously with my fellow travelers on the road, so I don't remember turning on the phone at all." Xiao Siya was a little embarrassed and explained, "So that's the case, I'm still thinking about who else will call at this time besides the sales call." ”
"I'm sorry." Shen Shengsheng also apologized and said, "If I knew about your flight, I should have gone over to pick you up." However, there are a lot of things in the company today, and if you send someone to pick you up, it may cause unnecessary trouble. ”
"Yes, it's convenient for me to take a bus or a taxi anyway, so don't make trouble for you." Xiao Siya also agreed, "Isn't it smooth for me to get home now, and I've already cleaned the house." ”
"How can this be a nuisance? You're a good friend of my sister, and if I don't treat you well, she'll count me down. Oh yes, I called you to ask if you're free tonight, let's have a meal together. After a pause, Shen Shengsheng added, "I mean, come to my house for dinner." I heard that you are back, so my parents have a lot of things I want to ask you about my sister. ”
"Well, I'm planning to visit your house too." Xiao Siya then sighed, "But maybe not today, because I just arrived and haven't slept for almost a day." And I just finished cleaning, and my luggage hasn't been sorted out yet, so I still have a lot to do after I rest. So it is estimated that it is not convenient in the past. ”
"You're right, I didn't think it through. Today is indeed a time for you to get a good rest. Then it's up to you to talk to me in advance when it's convenient. Shen Shengsheng said hurriedly.
"Okay, that's it." Xiao Siya agreed.
"Then we'll talk about it later, goodbye." Shen Shengsheng hung up the phone.
Xiao Siya knew that Shen's father and Shen's mother must be very anxious to see her, but she was embarrassed to call to urge. So Xiao Siya made an appointment with Shen Shengsheng the next morning, and in the evening, she brought a souvenir and bought some other fruits to prepare to go to Shen's house.
"Xiaoya, you see that you just came back and rushed over without a good rest, I'm really embarrassed." Chen Shuwan opened the door and welcomed Xiao Siya in, and when she saw the things Xiao Siya was holding in her hand, she couldn't help but say, "We are all so acquainted, what else do we buy." ”
"Auntie, why am I embarrassed to come empty-handed, after all, I'm here to eat." Xiao Siya said with a smile, "There is also a bag here as a souvenir, and Qianqian specially put it in a suitcase for me to bring back." ”
"I'm really bothering you." Chen Shuwan took the bag in Xiao Siya's hand, and then said, "You two talk first, I'll go to the kitchen." Meals were made quickly. ”
"Thanksgiving Auntie." Xiao Siya said as she watched Chen Shuwan walk into the kitchen.
"Xiaoya, come and sit." Shen Weihai asked Xiao Siya to sit down on the sofa in the living room.
"Huh? Didn't Shengsheng come back? Xiao Siya sat down and found that she hadn't seen Shen Shengsheng's figure all along.
"Oh yes, he didn't tell you, he has a conference call to have tonight, because he has to cooperate with the other party's time, so he can't come back now." Shen Weihai explained.
"That's right." Xiao Siya nodded and said thoughtfully.
"I'll ask you about your plans to come back this time." Shen Weihai said, "Anyway, if I ask you about Qianqian now, her mother will definitely ask it again later." ”
"yes." Xiao Siya said with a smile.
"Are you not coming back this time, or are you just coming back to have a look?" Shen Weihai said, "I hope you don't think I'm nosy, but I do want to know what you think first." ”
"Actually, I haven't decided where to stay yet." Xiao Siya sighed, "But this time it's only temporary, because my boss and I just took an annual leave in advance." ”
"Okay, then I got it." After Shen Weihai finished speaking, Chen Shuwan came out with the dishes.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat."
"Auntie, I'll help you set the table." Xiao Siya saw it and quickly stood up and said.
"It's okay, you can sit down, there aren't a lot of dishes." Although Chen Shuwan said this, the table was already full.
"Auntie, there are only three of us, you don't have to cook so many dishes." Xiao Siya glanced at it, one soup, three large meats, and four seasonal vegetables stir-fried.
"I don't think you guys must have eaten well outside, so of course you have to make up for it when you come back." Chen Shuwan also sat down as she spoke, "Come on, come on, try it quickly." ”
"Okay." Xiao Siya scooped a bowl of corn chop soup and drank it all, "This soup must have been stewed for a long time, the sweetness of the corn brings out the deliciousness of the ribs, it is really delicious." ”
"Oh, you don't care about the soup, eat more food." Chen Shuwan said as she sandwiched chicken wings, fried prawns and braised pork into Xiao Siya's bowl.
"Auntie's dish is really a must." Xiao Siya couldn't help but praise while eating, "Although we have a Chinese restaurant over there, there is no way to compare with Auntie." If my aunt goes there to open a restaurant, she will definitely be a guest. ”
"I'm embarrassed to see the compliment." Chen Shuwan smiled and said, "If you like it, you can eat more." If you want to eat, it's okay to come over every day, just accompany us. ”
"Auntie, if you say that, I'll really come over to eat." Xiao Siya also said half-jokingly.
"Didn't you eat well there?" Chen Shuwan asked tentatively.
"Not really. If we have time, we all cook by ourselves, and then the taste of Western food is also acceptable. It's just that it can't be compared to what you did, Auntie. Xiao Siya shook her head and said.
"Well, you're not all going to lose weight." Chen Shuwan said and looked at Xiao Siya.
"Not really." Xiao Siya understood Chen Shuwan's intentions, so she put down her chopsticks and began to say: "After Qianqian and I passed, we quickly got used to it. The weather environment over there is very good, there is less pollution, and we don't have any problems with water and soil. And the work of both of us is also going well, my words are doing wedding dress design in a very famous studio over there, and Qianqian's words are even better. Because she helped a rich man before, now he has become well-known all over the country, and everyone in the Chinese circle knows it. She now has her own practice and has about five or six lawyers under her staff. It's already the largest in our small town, and the orders are constantly increasing. ”
"That's good." Although Chen Shuwan said this, her eyes were obviously a little lonely.
"Speaking of which, your life over there is going pretty well." Shen Weihai hurriedly continued.
"Yes, we should have met a lucky star. The owner of a Chinese restaurant over there had a good relationship with us, oh yes, and thanks to him, we were able to settle the accommodation in a short period of time. ”
"Are you renting a house over there?" Chen Shuwan asked, "How is the landlord?" ”
"Actually, we bought a small villa." As soon as Xiao Siya said what she bought, she saw that Chen Shuwan's expression was a little stiff, so she quickly explained, "Because the landlord is a good friend of the restaurant owner and is also Chinese." And he was in a hurry to make a move, so the price we were given was very low. Originally, we were going to sign a one-year lease, but after bargaining with him, we decided that we could buy it. The villa is very new, the surrounding environment is very good, and the transportation is convenient, so it should not be difficult to really make another move. ”
"Aren't you planning to come back when you buy a house?" Chen Shuwan's tone was slightly out of control.
"No, Auntie. Don't be in a hurry. Xiao Siya hurriedly continued to explain, "I also discussed it with Qianqian. We thought that if we bought it, we could work directly in it. We didn't expect the work to go so smoothly, because at the beginning we planned to use the first floor as a studio for me, and the second floor for Qianqian's office to meet customers. ”
"That's it, just sell the house when you come back. The housing prices over there are very low, and they can't lose much. Shen Weihai came out to play the round like a comforter.
"Then let me ask you Xiaoya, if the two of you work so smoothly, do you really have plans to settle down?" Chen Shuwan didn't seem to calm down much, and asked this question very sharply.
"Before I came back, I talked to Qianqian, and we didn't know for sure." Xiao Siya said truthfully, "Qianqian just said that she has no plans to come back in the short term. And in my words, I want to come back and see the situation before making a decision. ”
"In the short term?" Chen Shuwan couldn't help but be a little anxious, "You've been there for a few months, how long will it be for another short term?" Half? A year? Or three or five years? ”
"I can't answer you for that." Xiao Siya lowered her eyes, "Qianqian doesn't seem to have figured out what happened before, maybe it's because she's too busy and doesn't have time to think about it." ”
"Xiaoya, can we ask you for something." Shen Weihai suddenly said to Xiao Siya, "Although it seems that I don't care about you to say this, please talk to Qianqian after you go back, and make sure to let her return to China." We can wait, but we need an exact time. ”
"Be sure to ...... Do you want to return to your home country? Xiao Siya repeated, "I can't guarantee it." ”
"So, do you prefer to stay abroad or come back now?" Shen Weihai asked.
Xiao Siya thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Although I also think that I can learn a lot outside, I will definitely come back in the end." ”
"That'll do." Shen Weihai nodded, "This is also what I want you to say to Qianqian, she can go out to study and exercise, but she must come back." ”
"Okay, I see what you mean." Xiao Siya nodded.
