Chapter 6 Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner
After getting the copyright, Chen Feng also took the final exam, packed his luggage and planned to go home.
However, Chen's father and Chen's mother can't leave for a while, and I'm afraid there will be no way to go home for the New Year.
Chen's father meant to let Chen Feng go to SH for the New Year, and the family would be able to have a reunion dinner at that time.
For this proposal, Chen Feng raised his hands in agreement. Just take advantage of this opportunity to buy a house in SH.
Chen Feng began to count his assets, and at present, he has almost 500,000 manuscript fees, and 200,000 copyright fees have not yet arrived. Combined, almost 700,000 yuan, you should be able to buy a good house in Shanghai.
So, after Chen Feng put his luggage at his aunt's house, he brought two sets of changes of clothes and came to SH by car.
In his previous life, Chen Feng almost always worked in SH, and for almost 20 years, Chen Feng was still very familiar with SH's route and terrain.
Chen's father and Chen's mother were working in a hotel, Chen's mother killed fish, and Chen's father was also doing small jobs in the kitchen.
When Chen Feng arrived at the train station, it was the eldest brother Chen Ming who came to pick him up. The place where the eldest brother works is not far from Chen's father.
However, since the three of them lived in the dormitory, Chen Feng could only live in Chen Ming's dormitory.
Fortunately, the hotel where Chen Ming works is not big, there are not many people in the dormitory, only five or six people, and there are a few spare beds.
So, Chen Feng lived in the dormitory, Chen Ming's popularity was relatively good, and the people in the dormitory were more kind to Chen Feng.
In the evening, after Chen's father and mother got off work, the family of four found a small food stall and had a meal together.
Although Chen Feng's report card has not been obtained now, Chen's father has contacted Chen Feng's head teacher several times and still has some understanding of Chen Feng's performance. It is very reassuring.
Therefore, at the dinner table, he did not talk about studying, but chatted about Chen Feng's next arrangements for a while.
After all, he lived in the dormitory of Chen Ming's hotel, and in order not to embarrass Chen Ming, Chen's father asked Chen Feng to go to Chen Ming's store to help when he was free.
Chen Feng thought about it for a moment and also said his plan. Chen Feng plans to go to various universities in the next few days to have a look and understand.
Then check the information on the Internet so that you can prepare for the future application. After a few busy days, I will go to my eldest brother's shop to help.
Regarding Chen Feng's plan, Chen's father did not object.
After eating, Chen Feng followed his eldest brother back to rest.
Early the next morning, Chen Feng went out.
First of all, Chen Feng found a public phone booth and called the editor-in-chief in charge of Seven Points.
Since I often communicate online this year, I am relatively familiar. Therefore, Chen Feng hopes that the editor-in-chief can be a tour guide for him for a day or two.
In fact, Chen Feng still has a little idea, that is, when he buys a house by himself. If you don't have enough money, you can borrow a sum of money from Seven Points.
At this point, Chen Feng feels that it is not a big problem, because his novels are relatively popular, and his monthly income is relatively stable.
After the two made an appointment on the time and place, Chen Feng waited on the side of the road.
An hour later, Chen Feng finally waited for the editor-in-chief. After getting into the car, the two began to introduce themselves.
Although the two used to communicate with each other on the Internet, Chen Feng still did not know the true identity of the editor-in-chief.
After the introduction, Chen Feng knew that the editor-in-chief in front of him was surnamed Li and Li Xin'er. Chen Feng called her Sister Li.
When Chen Feng talked about his intentions, Sister Li thought about it for a while and agreed.
The place Chen Feng chose was in Putuo District, not far from where his parents worked, and it was also very prosperous.
So, Sister Li found a relatively large intermediary and began to look for a house.
In the end, Chen Feng chose a newly built community, located on Changshou Road.
At this time, the house price was about 10,000 yuan, and after Chen Feng communicated with Sister Li, Sister Li said that the company was willing to advance Chen Feng with almost 1 million manuscript fees in advance.
So, Chen Feng chose a house of more than 150 square meters. The location of the house is also relatively good, it is on the sixth floor. The orientation of the room, the layout is also very good, and it is also a simple room. The kind that you can stay with your bag.
The agent was also very helpful, and soon contacted the landlord and began to prepare various agreements. and arranged the transfer of ownership.
The total price of the house payment is about 1.6 million, and after seizing various expenses, Chen Feng also spent all the money.
Although the room book has not been received immediately, in the past few days, after entrusting Sister Li to help with the follow-up procedures, Chen Feng invited Sister Li to have a big meal in a nearby hotel.
Seeing Chen Feng buy a mansion lightly, if it weren't for knowing that the company lent Chen Feng 1 million, Sister Li would have thought that Chen Feng was a rich second generation.
After dinner, Sister Li also gave Chen Feng a new mobile phone as a gift on behalf of the company.
After putting away the mobile phone, Chen Feng was not stingy, and went directly to the gold store not far away, and gave Sister Li a gold bracelet to express his gratitude.
After returning to the eldest brother's dormitory, Chen Feng had a good rest, and after the eldest brother got off work, Chen Feng handed the mobile phone to the eldest brother.
Looking at the eldest brother's somewhat surprised expression, Chen Feng explained: "Brother, this is the reward I gave for my online submission before, and I am going to get the prize today." You also know, I want a mobile phone and it's useless, you can take it and use it. ”
Looking at Nokia's latest mobile phone in his hand, Chen Ming was very excited, this mobile phone almost cost more than 2,000 yuan.
didn't be polite to his younger brother, just took it and operated it, and nodded with satisfaction.
"That's okay, you're still young, I'll buy you a new one later, I'll take this first."
may have felt embarrassed, so Chen Ming took Chen Feng to a roadside stall to eat a fried mein.
Because the matter was done, Chen Feng had nothing to do in the next few days. Therefore, starting tomorrow, Chen Feng needs to go to Chen Ming's store for free to help.
In the morning, Chen Feng went to a nearby Internet café to update the novel for two hours, and then appeared in the kitchen where the eldest brother was in the afternoon.
There are not many people in the kitchen, two cooks, two miscellaneous, two cuts, one cold dish, and an aunt in the dishwashing room who is responsible for washing vegetables.
After Chen Feng came over, after saying hello to the head chef, he did chores behind the head chef.
In fact, there is no heavy work, just serving the dishes and taking the plates. It's about speed.
The food outlet next to it has been shouting that so-and-so dish is faster, and the rhythm of the whole kitchen is very fast.
However, after all, Chen Feng has worked in the kitchen for more than ten years, and he quickly adapted to this rhythm.
From Chen Feng to the store at four o'clock, he was busy until eight o'clock, and it never stopped, so it can be said that the business is still very hot.
When they were done, all the people in the kitchen sat in the back door yard to rest.
Seeing that everyone was swallowing clouds and spitting fog, talking about the mountains, a familiar feeling came to my heart.
The head chef is very satisfied with Chen Feng's performance, it is the end of the year, and business is getting better and better, so it will be easier for everyone to help with one more person.
The boss here is still very good, seeing that he is done, he hurriedly took a box of Coke and came over to send it around.
And one was given to each of the smokers. After laughing with the chef for a while, he went back to the front to get busy.
Because he hadn't exercised at such a high intensity for a long time, Chen Feng was still quite tired, and the second-hand smoke was too big, Chen Feng was worried that his smoking addiction would recur, so he hid in the corner to rest.
The eldest brother Chen Ming was not idle, and was fiddling with his new mobile phone. There are also a few people around him who are cheating together.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the New Year, and after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the people in the kitchen begin to pack up their things and clean up the battlefield.
At this time, the boss came to the kitchen, and the hostess also came in. Both of them held red envelopes in their hands and sent them to everyone one by one.
Chen Feng also has one, and he pinched the red envelope a little with his hand, which is quite a lot. But I was embarrassed to open it at the time, and after thanking the boss, I put the red envelope in my pocket.
In fact, Chen Feng is a little strange, why not send it tomorrow morning? When the boss went to the front hall to get busy, Chen Feng asked Chen Ming in a low voice.
It turned out that because the boss was going home for the New Year, he would have a three-day holiday starting tomorrow.
It turned out that this was the case, and after it was over, Chen Ming took Chen Feng to find his parents and prepare for a reunion dinner.
At this time, firecrackers had already begun to roar on the street, and no restaurant had opened, but Chen's father had already prepared.
It turned out that there was a balcony on the roof of the dormitory where Chen's father was located, and Chen's father also moved the tables and chairs up early.
The meals were also packed in advance at noon, but they couldn't start at this time.
Because Chen Feng also has a cousin who also works in SH, no, they plan to get together for the New Year.
Although my cousin is far away from here, my cousin got off work early, and after a while, my cousin went downstairs.
Chen Ming went down to pick up his cousin, and Chen's mother began to use the microwave oven to heat some dishes in the dormitory, Chen Feng was responsible for serving the dishes, and Chen's father began to carry the drinks.
Soon, everyone sat together to celebrate the Spring Festival. As usual, the father gave a red envelope to each of the three.
During the meal, because Chen's father, Chen's mother, and cousin both need to go to work tomorrow, they don't drink alcohol at night, they all drink alcohol.
After eating, his parents asked Chen Ming and Chen Feng to take their cousin to walk around the street, and the two of them were responsible for finishing up.
In fact, there are not many shops open on the street at this time, and the only thing that makes people feel interesting is the fireworks.
The three brothers found a square, sat on chairs, and watched the sky full of fireworks. It's also quite interesting.
Seeing that it was getting late, my cousin took his leave and left.
In fact, it is really not easy, my cousin got off work at eight o'clock, and rode a bicycle from where he worked for more than an hour to eat here, and now it is almost half past twelve, and he has to ride a bicycle home, and it is estimated that it will be two o'clock when he gets home.
My cousin is now exactly 20 years old, and it is also the time to feel homesick, Chen Feng is a little embarrassed in his heart.
Seeing that there was nothing to go about, the two brothers went back to the dormitory to sleep.
