Lin Xi reconciled the accounts in the shop until late, forgetting the hour.

It wasn't until Shen Chen came to look for her that Lin Xi turned his attention back and saw that night was approaching outside.

She hurriedly got up, "I didn't expect that I stayed in the shop for so long, have the children already gone home?" Did you have dinner? ”

In the past, it was common for Lin Xi to be busy in the shop until very late, so the guys here were used to it, and they would not come to disturb Lin Xi, and they should go home at night, and those who should stay on duty stayed. Moreover, they couldn't go in and out of the backyard at will, so no one came to remind Lin Xi of the hour.

Shen Chen put down the lantern he was carrying, sat down according to Lin Xi, and said, "I went to pick them up in the evening, and they all had dinner and rested after reviewing their homework." ”

He held the food box in his other hand, collected the account book on the table, made some time, and then brought the food inside and handed the chopsticks to Lin Xi.

"You eat first, and I'll take care of the rest."

Lin Xi didn't refuse, and talked to him about the arrangements behind while eating, and she learned about the situation after she finished the account.

Shen Chen listened patiently, and the speed of reconciliation was also very fast.

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he told Lin Xi about the results on his side: "In the afternoon, Wang Shou and the others came to me and told me that he knew that there was a small mountain villa, the location and layout were very suitable for opening a dart game, but it was on the outskirts of Pingxian County. I'll ask Wang Shou to go and see again, and come back tomorrow to tell me the results. If I could, I'd go there myself, and I'll be there without a problem. ”

Lin Xi didn't expect them to move so fast, and said, "Okay, you make a decision." I just have one request, I can buy as much size as I can, and I will be able to live in the future when there are more people. Our family's money is stored in the bank, the amount is not small, you can go to mention, if it is not enough, then come to the shop to get cash. If that's not enough, wait until the next year. Because the shop has received several big deals recently, and it will be another amount of money to settle after the year. ”

Shen Chen looked up at her and said softly: "Don't worry about the lady, I can solve the problem of money." ”

Lin Xi believed him and said instead, "This is the New Year coming soon." This year is the first year for our family in Haixian, and when I have two days to spare, I will go to buy New Year's goods. ”

And after the New Year, Sanbao will be seven years old and officially enter a private school. Sibao is six years old, and it is said that it should be another year before entering a private school. However, she has been accepted as an exception, and it will be no problem to continue reading after the year.

So in this way, the four children will start to study after the new year, and there will be less and less free time in the future, and she has to give them a good life while they can still play.

Shen Chen hummed: "The lady decides." ”

Lin Xi asked: "Then will Wang Shou celebrate the New Year in our house this year?" ”

Shen Chen shook his head: "Wang Shou, Yan Zhong, Du Bucan't help it, they are in a hurry to contact their old friends, and they will leave in two days, but they will not be in the New Year." It is estimated that he will come back as early as the first month. ”

"What about Qian Renjie?" Lin Xi continued to ask.

Looking at Qian Renjie's attitude towards them a few months ago, it is estimated that he will not want to miss the first year of reacquaintance.

Shen Chen said: "He is alone, but he wants to come and live with us." But Yan Zhong had already gone to look for him. With his temperament, he estimated that he would not be too old to find someone with Yan Zhong and them. ”

When Lin Xi heard this, he sighed and said, "I still think that there are not many people who want good people here, and it can be more lively with them." It seems that we will be a family at the end of the year...... Is Master Chen leaving? If he doesn't leave, let's invite him to his home for the New Year, so it will be more lively. ”

Shen Chen put aside the finished account book and said, "Master Chen won't leave." Chen Yunhe served in Beijing, and he couldn't leave Beijing easily, and he couldn't come back to accompany Master Chen. And Chen Fuzi is a veteran of the old ministers, and his prestige is extremely high, and he can't easily leave somewhere, otherwise it will attract unwarranted suspicion from some people. ”

So their grandfather and grandson can't be reunited this year.

This is also the reason why Chen Fuzi has been staying in Ruyanghai County and not going the same way as Li Fuzi.

Since ancient times, military generals, especially those whose prestige and qualifications are not ordinary, will be invisibly subject to great restrictions.

Lin Xi couldn't help but sigh a little, and said, "Then let's invite Master Chen to celebrate the New Year together!" ”

Shen Chen bowed.

As soon as his voice changed, he suddenly said: "But I heard Master Chen say that Master Li will come back soon, just in the past two days. ”

Lin Xi was overjoyed when he heard this.

In this way, Master Chen has company.

Shen Chen said again: "Jiang Yu will also come." ”

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sat up straight: "Really?!" Will she really come back? Didn't she go back to discuss marriage when she left, I thought she was going to stay at her father's house to get married. ”

Shen Chen shook his head and said meaningfully: "She did discuss marriage, but her family affairs are yellow." ”

"Yellow??"

"Well, I also heard from Master Chen today, he received a letter from Master Li not long ago. Li Fuzi wrote in the letter that Jiang Mi had a smooth marriage, but her fiancé was suddenly found to be in a private room a month ago, and he was entangled with a dusty woman, and he did a few errands wrong for the official. ”

"What? How could that man be so hateful! Such a person would dare to ask to marry Jiang Yuan! ”

Lin Xi slapped the table angrily, and also thought of Chen Yunhe, and became even more angry: "This is also Chen Yunhe's colleague, right?" Doesn't he know what it is? Did you even watch Jiang Yu discuss marriage with such a person in the first place?! ”

Shen Chen's hand holding the brush paused slightly, and said, "Chen Yunhe can't take care of it." ”

"Why can't he take care of it? Even if he and Jiang Wei can't be lovers, friends should be considered friends, right? What's more, they've known each other for more than ten years! Can't even remind you? "Lin Xi Road.

Shen Chen opened his mouth, and finally said: "In short, Li Fuzi and Jiang Yuan's father were angry and canceled this family business, and the family was not in a good situation because of the impeachment of the official, and the man's career came to an end." After this incident, Li Fuzi took the opportunity to propose to bring Jiang Yu back, but her father may not have the confidence to refuse, so he agreed. ”

Lin Xi said in surprise: "In other words, this year's Chinese New Year, I can see Jiang Yuan?" ”

Shen Chen: "Hmm. ”

Lin Xi's face was overjoyed, and he began to think about how to catch up with her after Jiang Yuan came, and how the two families would celebrate the New Year, but he couldn't help but feel very sorry for Jiang Yuan, scolded the man who was talking about marriage a few words angrily, and prayed that Jiang Yuan would not be forced to discuss marriage again for a while in the future.

Shen Chen saw that her face was full of worry, and finally sighed and said, "In three or four years, she shouldn't have any more." ”

"Why?" Lin Xi was puzzled.

Shen Chen didn't hide it from her, and said truthfully: "After her case was resolved, her father didn't give up and found a few more doors for her, but several families who looked at each other also had accidents one after another, and their careers were affected. Therefore, no one dared to look at each other in the future, and they were afraid that something would happen to their own family in front of others. After coming and going, the Jiang family couldn't find a suitable person for the time being. ”

Lin Xi was happy: "That dare is good, Jiang Yu doesn't know how happy she should be when she finds out!" When she comes, I'm going to have a good celebration with her! ”

Shen Chen replied helplessly.

With Jiang Yuan's news, Lin Xi was very energetic, and quickly finished eating and continued to read the account book with Shen Chen.

The two of them went back to rest in the middle of the night.
