While cooking, Yan Xin called his father and asked him when he would come back for dinner.

His father's reply to him was that there were still a few brooms that had not been sold out, and he couldn't go back for the time being, so let him eat first and leave a little food.

If Yan Xin was alone, he could wait for a while to eat again, and wait until his father came back to eat together.

But now there are a few guests in the house, although they are all young people, but they can't let others wait hungry.

Therefore, you can only eat when the meal is ready.

Just a few young people, who are not so particular, put the dining table in the kitchen, a few people eat in the kitchen, and Yan Xin also went to get a bottle of Coke.

The food was placed on the table, and before it was eaten, Feng Xi took a big bowl first, sandwiched some of each dish, and asked Yan Xin while sandwiching: "What does your father like to eat?" ”

This is to leave food for Yan's father.

Yan Xin thought for a while, but didn't come up with an answer, so he could only say embarrassedly: "I don't like what he eats either, it seems that he likes to eat everything." ”

He really didn't know what his dad liked to eat, because he ate everything and didn't show a preference for any one dish.

Maybe it's because the family conditions are not very good, no matter what the dish looks like, it will be eaten and will not be wasted.

In this way, I don't know what kind of food he likes to eat.

When I heard this question, I realized that I didn't care enough about my father, and I didn't even know this in two lives.

Feng Xi gave him a blank look: "You son deserves it!" ”

I sandwiched a few of each dish, and finally filled a large bowl and put it in the cupboard before I started eating.

After eating, before everyone left the table, Feng Xi first packed up the dishes and chopsticks, just like in his own home.

Bai Xiaoling and Ruan Mengyao were embarrassed to sit when they saw her like this, and went over to help her, and quickly cleaned up the table and stove, and washed the dishes and chopsticks.

Feng Chen sat there, thinking to himself: "My sister is quite diligent, and I didn't lose face when I brought her out this time." ”

After packing all these up, Bai Xiaoling was embarrassed to stay here, and left after chatting for a while.

This time, Yan Xin learned her lesson and did not keep her again.

However, when Bai Xiaoling left, she also asked for a piece of paper from Yan Xin and wrote down the QQ numbers of several of them.

Bai Xiaoling is in a single-parent family, and the conditions at home are not very good, better than the Yan family a year or two ago, but it is also too good to be limited, and her mother is very difficult to pay for her tuition and living expenses for her to study, so it is naturally impossible to give her a mobile phone.

She does have a QQ number, which was applied for at the Internet café next to the school, and occasionally went to the Internet café to be able to log in to her QQ number, so there was no way to add QQ on the spot, so she could only write down their numbers.

Her own QQ number was also given out.

With her current situation, it will take a long time to achieve the freedom of chatting QQ.

When you are studying, it will definitely not work.

After graduating from high school, if you go out to work, you can buy yourself a mobile phone in a few months.

If she stays at home to help her mother sell tofu, she doesn't know when she will be able to have her own mobile phone that can be on QQ.

——In 2007, most mobile phones still do not support QQ software.

When she was leaving, she complained about this matter, and she felt that her life was simply too bitter, and she couldn't compare with people like Yan Xin and Feng Chen who had already mixed up.

Yan Xin could only comfort her: "There will be bread, there will be mobile phones, as long as you work hard, a happy life will come." ”

The experience of his previous life let him know that whether he can be happy in life has no absolute relationship with whether he has hard work or not.

In the last few years of his life, he was very diligent and hardworking, but he did not get a happy life.

However, he also knows that people like them who live at the bottom of society, if they don't work hard, there is no chance of success at all, and life will only get worse.

Although this is cooking chicken soup, if Bai Xiaoling can listen to it, it will still have some effect on her future.

After Bai Xiaoling left, Feng Chen said that he wanted to visit this small villa, Yan Xin had no choice, so he took them to visit the internal structure of this building, and brought all the rooms over.

At present, the decoration in this house is still quite simple, in the eyes of rural people, the rooms are covered with floor tiles, which is a very luxurious decoration.

But in the eyes of Feng Chen, a person who engages in interior decoration in first-tier cities, this decoration is too simple.

Of course, he also knows that it is not suitable for decoration in the countryside to be too luxurious, and such decoration is a bit excessive.

After looking around, the group went downstairs again, and he sighed to Yan Xin: "You didn't build much money for this villa, you made it so good, I bought that house in Yangcheng, it cost several times the money, and now it's just a rough house, and I don't know when I will be able to live in it." ”

Yan Xin smiled: "You compare a house in a big city to a house in the countryside, isn't it uncomfortable?" The house you bought will only become more and more valuable in the future, and the house I built will only become less and less valuable in the future. ”

"But you're comfortable here!" Feng Chen sighed.

said to Ruan Mengyao again: "In the future, when we have money, we will also build a small villa like this here, what do you think?" ”

Ruan Mengyao nodded and smiled: "I think it's good, the air here is so good, building such a small villa, it should be quite comfortable to live here." ”

Feng Xi looked at Feng Chen with a smile: "Brother, if you build a house like this, you have to prepare to leave me a room." ”

Feng Chen glanced at her: "Aren't you talking nonsense?" To build a house, you have to have your room. ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Feng Xi said with a smile.

Yan Xin had an impulse to tell Feng Chen: "Leave your sister's room for your sister?" She has more money than you don't know, and she can afford to build a beautiful cottage in the countryside. ”

Of course, he didn't say.

At half past one in the afternoon, Yan's father came home.

I sold all the brooms I had brought with me, sold them for seventy or eighty yuan, bought some seeds back, and by the way, I bought two catties of pork ribs from the pork stall in the vegetable market over there - I knew that my son liked to eat ribs, so I specially brought two catties back.

If it were himself, he would definitely not buy pork ribs, the price is so expensive, and there is not much meat.

After coming back, he was not surprised to see Feng Chen and them here, because his son said that they would come over today.

Both sides said hello.

Before Yan Xin could make a move, Feng Xi went to the kitchen first and gave Yan's father a hot meal, which made Yan's father a little embarrassed, and that thought came to his heart - how good would it be if this girl became his daughter-in-law?

But I think the previous Xiao Shiyu is also quite good.

For a while, my heart was very entangled.

Dad Yan is more familiar with Feng Xi, and he is not so familiar with Feng Chen, but he also knows him, because Feng Chen brought Ruan Mengyao over during the Chinese New Year last year.

I know that he opened an interior decoration company and bought a house in Yangcheng, young and promising.

Thinking that he might be able to help his son in the future, he was more polite to Feng Chen.

I talked to Feng Chen a lot until I finished eating.

From the chat, he also heard Feng Chen mention Yan Xin's help to him many times, and heard Feng Chen express his gratitude many times, which made him quite proud.

From Feng Chen's words, it is not difficult to hear that Yan Xin has been quite successful in the past year or so, and his personal ability is very strong, and he has been appreciated by the big boss.

How did Yan Xin mix outside, I could only listen to Yan Xin himself before, although Yan's father believed in his son more, but he didn't believe it 100%, and he still had a little doubt in his heart - he has only been out for more than a year, and he is not a college student, can he really have such achievements as he is now?

There are even some doubts in my heart that my son has done something illegal.

After all, everyone knows that the most profitable methods are written in the criminal law.

It's not easy to make so much money through legitimate channels.

He had no way to question Yan Xin's statement, but he was a little uneasy in his heart after all.

Now that he heard about his son's deeds from Feng Chen, it matched his son's statement, which made him completely relieved - his son's current achievements were indeed earned by his own ability, and every penny he earned was legal.

Not only Feng Chen said this, but Ruan Mengyao also said so, so the credibility is even higher.

He didn't suspect that Feng Chen and the others were lying to him.

There are also some people in the village who go out to work with Feng Chen, all of whom are working on a construction site, knowing that Feng Chen's master and future father-in-law is a contractor, and also knowing that Feng Chen has indeed opened an interior decoration company, there is no need for such a person to lie to him.

Feng Chen and the others didn't stay here for long, and after Yan's father came back, they chatted with them for more than an hour, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, they said goodbye and went back.

This time, Yan's father didn't let Yan Xin send it off, because they came in a van by themselves, and there was no way to send it off.

After they left, Yan Xin told his father that today the white widow asked her daughter Bai Xiaoling to send a few pieces of tofu over, saying that she was grateful for taking them back on the road yesterday.

Yan's father had some surprises: "It's such a trivial matter, what are you doing with a few pieces of tofu?" ”

"I don't know what she thinks, but it's hard for me to refuse when people send it all the way over." Yan Xin said helplessly.

After finishing speaking, he smiled again and said to his father: "Maybe that Aunt Bai has taken a fancy to you, so take this opportunity to increase the relationship between our two families." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Father Yan reprimanded.

After a while, he said: "It's not easy for them, don't ruin the reputation of others." ”

That night, Feng Xi sent a message to Yan Xin on QQ, mentioning the events of the day and giving this point of view:

"I found that Bai Xiaoling seems to be a little interesting to you."

Yan Xin: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm nothing, but don't ruin the reputation of other girls." ”

Feng Xi: "What are you worried about?" I'm not going to say it, I'm just going to talk to you. ”

Yan Xin: "There is no such thing. ”

Feng Xi: "If it's not interesting to you, why would you send these pieces of tofu all the way away?" ”

Yan Xin: "Didn't you say thank you for taking them home on the rainy road yesterday?" ”

Feng Xi: "I really want to thank you, wouldn't it be more convenient to give some gas money at that time?" Do you have to run a few miles to deliver a few pieces of tofu the next day? Isn't that what creates opportunities to be together? ”

In fact, Yan Xin also thought so, and felt that it was really unnecessary to run so far to send a few pieces of tofu.

Of course, he can't admit this.

But in order to dispel Feng Xi's suspicions, he decided to pull his father out to block the arrow, so he explained:

"I think it's like this - last year, the matchmaker wanted to match her mother and my dad to start a combined family, and her mother asked her to send tofu over, probably with this idea, so that the two of us have more opportunities to understand each other."

Feng Xi was shocked: "Your father is going to find you a stepmother?" ”

Yan Xin: "He didn't have that idea, it was the matchmaker who said it, but he refused." Maybe Bai Xiaoling's mother has that idea. After all, the conditions of my family are okay, and if this thing is done, she will not have such a hard time in the future. ”

Feng Xi: "Then what do you think?" ”

Yan Xin: "Actually, I think it's good if my dad finds one, I have fewer days at home, and I will be more relieved to have someone to take care of him." It's just that I'm worried that finding someone with a bad mind will be more troublesome. ”

Feng Xi: "This matter must not be sloppy, you can't encourage your father to do such a thing, if you find an unvirtuous stepmother, you will have trouble in the future." ”

Yan Xin: "I think so too, so I'm quite entangled now." ”

"You have to be cautious about this matter, you, as a son, are qualified to put forward your own suggestions." Feng Xi said.

Then, she said: "But, if Bai Xiaoling's mother really wants to form a family with your father, can't she send tofu by herself?" Why did you send Bai Xiaoling to send tofu over? ”

Yan Xin replied: "Aren't you stupid? Combining a family is not just about two adults, but also depends on what both parties think about their children. In fact, many times adults can make do with it, and what they are most worried about is the opinions of their children, and letting Bai Xiaoling come over may be to eliminate the rejection of our younger generation of this combined family. ”

Feng Xi: "That makes sense. ”

asked again: "Then how do you feel about Bai Xiaoling?" Is she the one you like? ”

"It's not!" Yan Xin replied categorically.

This question was raised by Feng Xi, and there was only one answer.

Feng Xi: "Then what kind of girl do you like?" ”

"Didn't I say it today? I just like the kind of woman who has the financial ability to be independent. Yan Xin replied.

His answer made Feng Xi more satisfied, and in the next chat, he didn't dwell on this topic anymore.

The next day is the seventh day of the first lunar month.

On this day, Feng Chen drove his van, took Ruan Mengyao, and left home with large bags of souvenirs, and went to Master Ruan's hometown.

One more day will be the eighth day of the first lunar month.

The online store that Yan Xin and Feng Xi cooperated with has also reached the start of work, and the two of them are going to pay the employees a starting profit.
