Chapter 121: Red Crocus
[It's hard to go home: I can't help myself when I work in another country! ] 】
Tongjia!
Early in the morning, the water droplets on the green leaves have not yet dropped, and the golden morning sun shines brightly on the green plants.
Ai Shangni, who had just woken up and was still wearing pajamas, stood by the window of the room, looking at the garden not far away, where her eldest brother and sister-in-law were sitting drinking coffee and chatting.
Ai Shangni went downstairs after changing her clothes, except for Tong Qingtan who was drinking tea in the living room, only the housekeeper and Liu's mother and other servants were busy working, and the other family members had not gotten up yet.
"Why is it so early?" Tong Qingtan looked at the table clock, and it was less than seven o'clock.
Seven o'clock is not early for his old man, but it is a little early for other young people, especially for the Chinese New Year, everyone does not have to work, and it is not possible to get up at half past seven or eight o'clock.
"I couldn't sleep, so I got up." Ai Shangni reached out and rubbed her eyes, and after going down the stairs, she said to the maid next to her, "Help me make a cup of coffee."
The maid nodded respectfully at her, "Yes, Miss!"
Ai Shangni walked into the living room and chatted with Tong Qingtan, "Dad has been so busy these days, either receiving guests or going out to visit."
Tong Qingtan is a very prestigious existence in Haike Island, every Spring Festival, stepping into Tong's house is an endless stream of guests, occasionally, Tong Qingtan also takes his family to visit relatives and friends. Ai Shangni has been going out with everyone a lot these days.
"Yes, the Xiao family is coming today." net
Ai Shangni thought for a moment, "Ah yes, today is the fifth day of the new year, and it is the day they came, but I still want to go to Sister Zhen's house in the morning."
Tong Qingtan took the tea and said, "It's okay, they won't arrive until near noon. You just go, they will call you when they arrive, and you will not be too late to come back."
"I see, Daddy!"
Ai Shanni took the coffee made by the maid and carried it into the garden.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, good morning!"
Tong Tanglu and Lin Muzi turned around in unison, "Good morning, Yiyi!"
"Big brother and sister-in-law shouldn't get up earlier than Dad, right?" Ai Shangni sat down in the middle of the back of them.
"That can't be, the old man can't get up before six o'clock, we all got up at half past six, and we just sat down for a while. I woke up a little early this morning!" Lin Muzi said with a smile.
Lin Muzi, who is approaching forty years old, is well-maintained and looks very young, and those who don't know think she is in her early thirties. She gave birth early, recovered quickly, and only gave birth to one child, which is younger than giving birth to two children, one child is still twins, and Xia Minyu, who is younger than her, looks younger.
Therefore, Xia Minyu often said that she was very envious of her.
"I can't sleep and I get up."
Ai Shangni really couldn't sleep before getting up.
Last night, she asked Duan Yiqiao about his itinerary for the past two days in a WeChat video, and then talked about going to Yejia's house. Under her repeated questioning, he said what he had talked about that night at the night house that did not make him feel comfortable.
She was not in a good mood when she heard this, but she still comforted him.
He panicked, but he also knew that things were not going to be as easy as he wanted. After being comforted by Ai Shangni, he was in a much better mood.
But Ai Shangni couldn't sleep steadily, he lay in bed last night at about the same time as usual, and he didn't know how long he tossed and turned before he fell asleep, and he woke up early in the morning, and he wanted to go back to sleep but couldn't sleep.
"Are you bothered by anything? Why can't you sleep?" It was Tong Tang Ritsu who asked her.
Ai Shangni took a sip of coffee to refresh herself, and then her eyes looked back and forth on Tong Tanglu and Lin Muzi, who had also turned sideways to look at her.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, why do you think there are parents who trade with their children's lifelong happiness?"
Lin Muzi was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
However, Tong Tanglu guessed as soon as he guessed, "Isn't it the kid of the Duan family, he and the Ye family?"
Ai Shangni was still holding the coffee in both hands, but his body moved back, and he looked at Tong Tanglu in some surprise, thinking that he was worthy of it
is in a high position in politics, and her perception is as powerful as her father.
"How does Big Brother know?"
Tong Tang Lu, who put his hands together and leaned on the side of the table, let go of his hand and lifted his glasses, and slowly spoke, "It is not a secret in the political and business circles that the Ye family helped the Duan family tide over the difficulties. What is puzzling is that all the arrears of the Duan family add up to hundreds of millions, or even more than a billion, but it is said that the Ye family is helping the Duan family pay off all the debts.
It's incredible.
Does the Duan family still have collateral for such chips? No one can think of what it is? Yemo hardly mentions it to the outside world, which has become a mystery. But no matter what, Yemo's reputation has risen rapidly because of this incident!"
After speaking, Tong Tang Ritsu smiled shallowly, giving people a feeling of not so agreeing.
"But what does this have to do with what Yi Yi said?" Lin Muzi didn't understand.
Ai Shangni said worriedly, "Sister-in-law, this Mr. Night loves his daughter very much, and it just so happens that his daughter loves Yiqiao very much."
"Ah~" Lin Muzi suddenly said.
Tong Tanglu chuckled, "Yiyi, you said it yourself, Yemo loves her daughter, so it's okay to make some sacrifices for her daughter's happiness. Although the sacrifice is quite large, if the Duan family's child is a manufacturable material in the future, then I have to say that the night ink is far away."
"But if the two of them are trading marriage, then what are we going to do?" This time, Lin Muzi reacted very quickly.
Ai Shangni exclaimed with a sad face, "Sister-in-law~"
"Yiyi, I thought that the child of the Duan family was just bankrupt in the family and wanted to repay the debt, but I didn't expect that there would be a marriage contract deal with Miss Yejia, so Yiyi should have broken off her thoughts about him, and the long pain is better than the short pain."
Tong Tanglu disapproves of the relationship between the two from the bottom of his heart.
"Big brother~" she wailed again.
Lin Muzi also began to persuade: "Yiyi, your eldest brother is right, they both have a marriage contract, it's better not to fall into it, let it go as soon as possible."
Ai Shangni looked at them silently, thinking of chatting with them to solve their worries, but it turned out to be even more melancholy.
------
At about half past eight, Tong Tangjun acted as a driver and took Ai Shangni and Gu Yao to visit Zhang Yuzhen's house. The two houses are not far away, a five-minute drive.
Zhang Yuzhen is an only child, and in addition to her parents, her grandparents live with them. When Ai Shangni and the others went, Zhang Yuzhen's uncle and his family were sitting at her house drinking tea and chatting. As soon as he saw the Tong family coming, he hurriedly got up and gave up his seat.
"Uncle, aunt, Brother Tamagawa, sister-in-law Tamagawa, you continue to sit!" Tong Tangjun beckoned them not to get up.
"Sit, sit, sit."
They got up and gave way to the three of them to sit on, walked to the side, took a chair and sat down on the other side of the coffee table.
"When did Yuzhen come back?" Gu Yao asked.
Zhang Yuzhen's mother replied, "I didn't come back until the twenty-ninth year of the year."
"Fourth Brother and Sister Yao and I also came back that day." Ai Shangni said.
"You children, you're busy outside all year round, and you don't come home so late until the New Year. If you go back late, you can go back late, and after staying at home for a few days, you have to leave in a hurry. Hey~~" Zhang Yuzhen's mother seems to be lamenting the common phenomenon of young people going out to work nowadays, but she wants to tell Zhang Yuzhen more.
At the beginning, Zhang Yuzhen wanted to go to Beicheng to work, but her parents were against it, and they were reluctant to go so far as her daughter. But in the end, she couldn't persuade her, and she insisted on going.
Zhang Yuzhen could hear it, but she didn't say anything, she knew that as an only daughter, it was not appropriate to go to another country to work away from her parents for her own emotional problems.
"It's more involuntary to work, but now that communication is developed, phone calls and videos can be contacted at any time, if you want to be in Yuzhen, you can contact anytime and anywhere, which is very convenient." Gu Yao said with a smile to Zhang Yuzhen's mother.
Zhang Yuzhen's aunt echoed: "That's right, if you want Yuzhen, just send her a video, listen to the voice, look at people, and know how good she is." Yulan and I are like this, you see Yulan doing that work, she can't come back for even a year, Yuzhen is coming back to accompany you for the New Year.
」
"That's so, but you still have Yuchuan, his daughter-in-law and two children are with you, and her father and I will ..... Alas~"
After Zhang Yuzhen's mother sighed, Zhang Yuzhen's father hurriedly beckoned everyone to drink tea and eat candy.
Zhang Yuzhen said, "Dad, Mom, I have only been working in Beicheng for two years, and when I am more mature and stable, I will make other plans."
The implication is that she has plans to return to her hometown to work.
Zhang Yuzhen's father said while making tea, "It's good that Yuzhen can think like this."
"If Yuzhen has a plan to go to Licheng, you can come to find the fourth brother and sister Yao, I have been studying and working there for many years, although it is not as good as being on Haike Island, but if Yuzhen needs help, there is no problem." It was Tong Tangjun who was saying.
Zhang Yuzhen smiled, "Thank you, Fourth Brother!"
"Auntie, I see that Sister Lan's WeChat message said that she can't go home for the New Year, so did she say when she could come back?" Ai Shangni looked at Aunt Zhang Yuzhen and asked.
"She didn't go home until the eighth and ninth days of the new year, when everyone else went to work."
Gu Yao took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Yulan is like this in the service industry, they are the busiest when others are resting, and when others are working, they are idle. Either way, it's okay to go home, sooner or later."
"Yes." Aunt Zhang Yuzhen responded.
"If that time comes, I will come to see Sister Lan by myself, and the fourth brother and sister Yao will probably return to Licheng."
Zhang Yuzhen smiled and grabbed her, "It's good to go to school, the holidays are early, the school starts late, and the winter vacation is a month."
"It's an early holiday, why did you come back so late?" Zhang Yuzhen's father asked.
"I worked part-time as a waiter at a café at night, and it didn't end until the 28th of the Lunar New Year."
"Part-time job, can you have those beautiful eyes?" Zhang Yuzhen's mother asked, looking at Ai Shangni's eyes.
Ai Shangni smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, it's all good, it's okay."
"It's okay."
"Will Gu Yao continue to work in Li Cheng this year?" It was Zhang Yuzhen's cousin Zhang Yuchuan who was asking.
Gu Yao replied, "Yes, I will work in the branch over there from now on. I heard from the third brother that Brother Yuchuan's performance in the second half of the year soared, and he was promoted from supervisor to manager."
Zhang Yuchuan said modestly: "Thanks to Mr. Tong's support."
"As far as my brother's sincerity and sincerity are concerned, it must be Brother Yuchuan's remarkable ability that he brought it up." Tong Tangjun said.
Zhang Yuchuan smiled, "Mr. Tong's temperament is really appreciated by everyone in the head office and branches, and his fairness and justice have made many capable and silent people behind the scenes discovered, and those people can be grateful to Mr. Tong, so they will work harder to serve the company."
Talking about this, Gu Yao and Zhang Yuchuan had more to talk about, and everyone chatted enthusiastically about the company's work.
