Chapter 263 Preparing for the New Year
Therefore, she would certainly choose a freer, more comfortable, and quieter way to celebrate the New Year, even if it is alone.
"Then come home with me! Anyway, my parents know you. It's boring for me to stay in the village alone. And I really don't want to see my ungrateful cousin. If you come home with me, I'll have company, and you can explain to your third aunt. Otherwise, she will definitely not agree if you say you're going back to Jiangcheng.
I tell you, celebrating the New Year in the countryside is really fun. I'll take you to a pig-killing feast, set off firecrackers, and try the authentic rural buffet. Anyway, every time I go back, I can catch up with someone's family's business, and there should be some during the New Year. You can also try different styles of dishes, maybe you can figure out a new dish! If you don't want to visit, I'll take you hiking to see our creek that's like a spring, right next to my grandfather's grave! I can also take you to see my grandfather! "Su Yuchen hurriedly held Zhao Xiaojing's arm and talked a lot, as if he had been prepared for it.
"Pfft!" Zhao Xiaojing couldn't help but smiled so hard that her teeth were not visible and pushed Su Yuchen, "Look at your grandfather, does your grandfather agree?"
"What are you thinking about!" Su Yuchen pushed back, "New Year's Eve is supposed to be for visiting him and burning paper for him! Are you going? If you go, we can just come back together on the sixth day of the New Year. Anyway, the statutory holiday is only until the seventh day of the New Year, so you don't have to drive so far by yourself."
"Drive the car back. You still need to take things with you. Back on the sixth day of the New Year? What? You don't want to be honest again?" Zhao Xiaojing looked at Su Yuchen jokingly.
Just two days ago, Su Yuchen was still talking about what she was going to bring back, and asked Zhao Xiaojing to bring her a portion of marinade so that she could use it to braise things when she returned and let her parents taste Zhao Xiaojing's good cooking skills to increase the credibility that opening a restaurant was not a joke.
He also specially redeemed the 200,000 bonds and converted them into current accounts through the software, saying that after working for so many years he could finally give back to his parents, and he should be honest with them about what he was doing, and make money so that they could be happy.
"I was just excited after calculating the money we made, and I got carried away with excitement, thinking about making my family happy as well." Su Yuchen pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly. "I'm calm now. Whether I'm going to be honest or not, and how honest I am, depends on how my parents react. I'm not sure if they can accept it now, so I'd better just keep quiet for now.
I have to see their reactions before deciding how much to give them. I can't transfer so much at once. It would be difficult to explain it clearly and they would think I was selling drugs outside.
Alas, you can’t ruin the family’s New Year just to show off. Sometimes white lies are also for everyone’s consideration.”
Su Yuchen sighed deeply with a deep look on his face, and Zhao Xiaojing couldn't help laughing when she saw it.
Over the past four or five months, in addition to the working capital reserved for the store and the wages paid out, each of them has saved some money.
Su Yuchen had saved 340,000 yuan, and Zhao Xiaojing had saved nearly 500,000 yuan.
Apart from the fact that she gets a larger share of the couple's profits, the system's cash rewards are also very frequent and generous. If things continue to develop at this rate, Zhao Xiaojing might actually be able to buy property in Jiangcheng within two to three years.
"Come back with me. You come with me. We'll set off early and drive all the way. We can also go to Canglang Mountain for two or three days. It's not far anyway, and the store doesn't open until twelve." Su Yuchen came over and shook Zhao Xiaojing's arm.
"Okay, then remember to say hello to your parents in advance. It's New Year's Day, and it might be a bit of a bother to them." Zhao Xiaojing said helplessly.
"It's not certain who will bother whom! In less than two days, my mother will talk about all the gossips in your family. By then, she will be able to tell you everything about your three generations of ancestors and my three generations of ancestors!" Su Yuchen sneered.
"Okay, then I won't be polite." Zhao Xiaojing smiled.
The matter was finalized, and the next morning, Zhao Xiaojing went to the market to buy a bunch of New Year's goods. In addition to bringing some for Dong Mei and Zhou Chuyan, she also bought a lot of other things for Su Yuchen and Wen Zhiyi's family.
When Su Yuchen was helping to unload the things when he returned to the store, he was shocked. "Are you going to spend all your money at once? Are you going to end up living like this?"
Not only were various Jiangcheng specialties piled up in four sets in the car, there were also dried seafood and dried mushrooms that were not produced in Jiangcheng. At a glance there were more than a dozen kinds, and they were all big and round. Even someone who didn't know the goods could immediately tell that they were first-class dried goods, as well as four sets of branded hand creams.
"My home is not somewhere else. If you are shy and want to buy something just for your own good intention, that's fine, but why buy such good things? My mother will scold me if you buy these." Su Yuchen said, stamping his feet.
"There are four portions. I've also bought some for my third aunt, cousin's family, and Wen's family. Let's do it together. It only happens once a year, and this is my first time to go to your house. Besides, even if I don't buy it, you will have to buy it. If I buy it, you will have to make one less trip! Can't you come to buy it next year?" Zhao Xiaojing twisted Su Yuchen's arm with a smile.
The only difference between the four families was that she bought two more bottles of white wine for Su Yuchen's father and two more bottles of red wine for the Wen family.
If Zhou Jianye's incident hadn't happened, she would have bought it for Zhou Jianye and her cousin's husband Sun Junwei, but now that this happened, forget it. She didn't want to spend money that made her feel sick. Even if she could afford it, the old scumbag was not worthy of her.
As for Sun Junwei, he was simply implicated. It would be inappropriate to send him gifts as well, as it would make people see that we were treated differently, so I didn’t buy anything for him.
"What next year? This afternoon, you have to go to the street with me. You are not allowed to spend any more money and don't even take out your cell phone!" Su Yuchen raised his eyebrows.
"Ah? I've already bought everything. It would be a waste if you buy more in the afternoon. We can't spend money lavishly. We have to respect the fruits of our labor!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Su Yuchen looked unquestionable. Without waiting for Zhao Xiaojing to say anything else, he took the things and went straight to the kitchen.
Zhao Xiaojing originally thought that Su Yuchen just wanted to buy some specialty snacks and let her take them back, but after lunch, Su Yuchen didn't even help with the cleaning. He just said something to everyone and pulled Zhao Xiaojing out the door.
"Why did you bring me here? I don't need a hair cut?" Before Zhao Xiaojing could figure out the situation, Su Yuchen pushed her into a barber shop near where she used to live.
This barber shop is not very big, but it is very neat. Two young men opened the door for the two of them and politely said welcome. At the entrance, two older women with fashionable clothes and avant-garde hairstyles were wielding scissors wildly and swiftly. There was a customer sitting upright under the evaporator without moving. In the back, there were four shampooing stations in a horizontal row, and a young and handsome man, Tony, was washing the hair of a customer lying down.
"Sister Hong, Sister Lan, are you busy? I brought my friends here." Su Yuchen ignored Zhao Xiaojing's questioning and greeted Sister Tony with red hair and Sister Lan with blue hair.
