Ye Fan saw that the frostbite on his hands had improved a little, and after Geng Zhiye had finished eating, he still asked him to soak his feet to get rid of the cold.
Geng Zhiye asked Ye Fan if he wanted to soak. Ye Fan was very tired after a long day of work and just wanted to rest early. But it was too early to go to bed now, so she took out the footbath bag she bought a few days ago, and did not forget to throw a bag into Geng Zhiye's basin.
Dabao burst into laughter.
Geng Zhiye was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"
"This is what my mother uses. It contains motherwort and safflower. Mom, what else is there?" Dabao asked, holding back a smile.
Ye Fan: "Traditional Chinese medicine doesn't say that men can't use it."
Geng Zhiye fished it out and threw it into the leaf basin: "Don't torment me. Don't let the cold air come out and let the fire air come out."
Erbao leaned on the back of the sofa and asked, "Dad, do you want me to make you a cup of brown sugar ginger tea?"
"No need!" Geng Zhiye raised his hand and turned his daughter's head aside: "Don't make me angry here."
Geng Zhiqin did not go back at night, and Erbao came to her side: "Little one, come to sister's place, we don't want to play with uncle."
Geng Zhiye was a little surprised to see his sister before, but he was still surprised to see him again now. He asked in Ye Fan's ear: "Why is she here?"
Ye Fan whispered two words: "Come on!"
Geng Zhiye hummed softly when he understood. Ye Fan patted him on the waist, hinting him to keep his voice down.
Geng Huihui didn't want to be with her sister-in-law, so she winked at Geng Sensen. After watching an episode of a TV series, Geng Sensen reminded his aunt to follow him to the back to rest. Geng Huihui pulled Ye Liangjing and said, "Let's sleep with my sister tonight."
There were only the couple left in the main room. Geng Zhiye asked: "Have you bought a gift for Dabao?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Buy a golden peanut."
"Hollow and solid?"
Ye Fan: "Of course it's hollow. The price of gold is relatively high recently, and hollow core costs two to three hundred."
"I'll give Dabao a solid one later?"
Ye Fan didn't know what to buy for Dabao. He thought that he had worn the little Guanyin for many years, so he bought him a jade Guanyin today: "When the price of gold becomes cheaper, I will buy one for him and Erbao."
"It's up to you." Geng Zhiye looked at the cotton slippers on his feet: "These shoes are comfortable, do you still have them at home?"
Ye Fan took a pair from the cabinet: "Are you going to wear them in the army?"
"It's not good to be seen. But never mind it!" Geng Zhiye found a bag and packed it up to take it back tomorrow.
Ye Fan was afraid that he would lead troops to provide disaster relief when he returned, so he gave him all the chocolates left at home: "If you don't have time to eat, just eat some of these cushions. These are sweeter and have a higher sugar content."
Geng Zhiye saw that the chocolates were all in small packages, so he grabbed a handful and stuffed them into his coat pocket.
Sure enough, the political commissar, training staff and others knew that he was going back today and were waiting for him in the courtyard early. As soon as Geng Zhiye got out of the car, they stepped forward and said they were helping to get the things, but in fact, they took the things and divided them up.
In the end, all that was left was a pair of shoes and a few chocolates.
Geng Zhiye couldn't help but call him "bandit" and asked: "Is the disaster serious in the area?"
Political Commissar: "Two companies have been deployed to help fellow villagers clean up the road."
There are militiamen in nearby towns and villages, and the county will also ask for armed police support. Geng Zhiye counted the number of people and found that two companies were enough, so he went back to the dormitory first.
Ye Fan was also in the staff dormitory at this moment.
Those who live in the capital have all gone back, and those who live in other places have not gone back. Ye Fan was surprised: "Isn't it possible that every family has sutras that are difficult to recite?"
The junior brother who is only one year younger than Ye Fan is not too old. He is the same age as Geng Huihui, twenty-five years old. He said: "A few days ago, my brother sent me a letter asking me to go back for a blind date, saying that the woman is very virtuous. I will not go back!"
Ye Fan was surprised: "Isn't it good to be virtuous?"
"Of course it is good to be virtuous. But if she is beautiful or well-educated, even if she is not beautiful, she only has a primary school diploma, has a business acumen and can make money, there will be more than one virtuous sentence in her letter." The junior brother said, "Sister, you have a good family background, I dare to introduce you to someone. At least they are well matched, and they were introduced randomly by ordinary people in my hometown.”
Ye Fan: "When someone told your mother, didn't your mother think twice about it, as if it's not a good match?"
"My mother believes that living a virtuous life is the most important thing." Junior brother said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. Compared with someone like you who is plain and honest, my mother would let me choose the latter. My daughter-in-law can handle it easily."
Ye Fan has been a daughter for two lifetimes and has never met such parents. Her parents-in-law are not such people either, making it difficult to understand. Ye Fan asked the female employee: "What about you?"
"I'm only twenty-four, and I'm only twenty-five after the new year. My dad asked me to go on a blind date." The female employee became irritated when she talked about this. "She also said that the other party was a young and promising cadre. My hometown town government didn't even Computer, I majored in computer. What can I do if I marry back home? I really want to stay in my hometown, so why go to the capital to go to university.”
Ye Fan: "Have you bought anything for the New Year?"
The junior brother said: "I plan to go today. There is a kitchen here, and we usually buy pots and pans, and we will make them ourselves later."
"Pay attention to fire prevention." Ye Fan thought about it, "I'll call the village and ask if there is any food. They will come tomorrow and ask them to send you some."
Ever since Ye Fan's employees knew that people from Yujia Village often came to sell vegetables nearby, they asked Ye Fan who was her relative. From then on, whenever I met him, I would go to Uncle Yu to buy vegetables and meat.
They reported that they were Ye Fan's employees, and Uncle Yu not only wiped out the money, but also gave them some onions, ginger, dried chilies and other condiments.
After hearing this, everyone immediately said that they would buy some today and then buy whatever they needed after the people from Yujia Village came over tomorrow.
The next day, uncle Yu delivered half a car with fish, meat and off-season vegetables, without asking for a penny.
Several people who were left celebrating the New Year were shocked.
After uncle Yu left, Ye Fan's junior brother asked his colleague: "What did the old man just say? Did senior sister give you money?"
The male employee from the foreign school nodded: "Yesterday I wanted to say that it was Chinese New Year, but didn't the boss say anything to express it? Fortunately, he didn't say it, otherwise it would be so embarrassing."
Female employee: "I met an alumnus yesterday when I was shopping. I was envious of the good treatment he received in a state-owned enterprise. He was given sugar, rice and oil during the Chinese New Year. We are pretty much the same."
Ye Fan's junior brother pointed at the green peppers: "One pound of green peppers can buy two pounds of sugar! There is more than one pound here." He couldn't help but clicked his tongue, "I heard from my senior brother that Senior Sister Ye is very good at spending money. I thought she would be bribed." People’s hearts. I didn’t expect it.”
The female employee nodded: "The bonus given by buying people's hearts is enough, there is no need to send half a tricycle as a new year's gift."
Ye Fan's move is also to win people's hearts, because high-end talents are smart and have many choices. If they are a little sorry, some of them will give up.
Ye Fan was not afraid of two people running away, but he was afraid of leading the team away. Ye Fan didn't dare to give up the clothing business. In fact, he was indirectly telling everyone that I am rich and if I leave you, I can spend a lot of money to find someone else. If you leave my sister, you may not be able to meet such good treatment and such a generous boss.
Ye Fan also didn't forget his hardworking family.
After breakfast, Ye Fan called her parents' house and asked Chen Xiaohui if she wanted to go to the store.
Chen Xiaohui replied repeatedly: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
The two families were not far apart, and Chen Xiaohui could take the same bus as Ye Fan within one stop, so Ye Fan told her what time the bus was and she waited at the bus stop early.
The two of them went straight to the store with the most jade items. Ye Fan chose a jade bracelet for her mother-in-law, bought a jade bracelet and a jade pendant for herself, and bought a pendant for Dabao and Erbao respectively.
Because it was too expensive, the salesperson invited Ye Fan into the small house.
When a few stacks of hundred-yuan bills were handed into the hands of the salesperson, Chen Xiaohui almost drooled with envy.
In her previous life, she knew that Ye Fan was very capable. Chen Xiaohui was not jealous of her wealth, so when she left the small house, she said, "When I sell the furniture, I will also buy some bracelets and wear two on each hand."
Ye Fan: "Four bracelets? Really promising!"
Chen Xiaohui realized later: "I only have two hands. Then, buy a few more necklaces. By the way, don't you want to look at them anymore?"
Ye Fan: “I don’t know what to buy for dad, so I won’t read it.”
"Do you still want to buy it for dad?"
Ye Fan nodded: "I bought him a gold ring before."
"Why didn't I know?"
"I forgot to mention it. I didn't even think about showing off."
Chen Xiaohui thought about the fact that her parents bought her house: "I haven't bought anything for my parents yet. How about I buy a gold ring for each of them?"
There were also gold ornaments in the jade shop. Ye Fan said tentatively, "How about you take a look?"
Chen Xiaohui nodded: "Let's see if it's expensive. I can't afford it."
Ye Fan couldn't help rolling his eyes: "If you don't have money, why don't you ask them for it?"
"Yes." Chen Xiaohui suddenly realized, "Come back in the afternoon and I will take out the money." Ye Fan nodded: "Okay. If you want to buy small things, I can call Huihui and Sensen."
When he got home, Ye Fan first collected her and her children's things, planning to find an opportunity to give them to Dabao and Erbao, and then took the jade bracelet to Yu Wentao's room.
Although Yu Wentao expected that Ye Fan would prepare a gift for her, but when she saw that Ye Fan actually bought it, she couldn't help but be happy: "Did you buy it yourself?"
Ye Fan nodded: "I didn't buy it for Dabao's dad."
"He can't wear it. Buying him a silver ring is a waste." Yu Wentao opened the small box and frowned.
When Geng Huihui saw this, she wanted to ask what was wrong. She turned around and said, "Auntie, have you been cheated?"
Ye Fan was surprised: "No way. Such a valuable thing, unless the person in charge wants to get in."
Geng Huihui picked it up: "Why does it look like the bottom of a beer bottle?"
Ye Fan finally understood: "The better, the more fake it seems. But this is not the best. The best one has to add a zero."
Geng Huihui put it down carefully: "Wait a minute, I bought an ornament with jade before." She opened the bedside table and took it out for comparison. "The seller didn't lie to me. He said don't look at such a small amount of jade. If you take it apart and make a pendant, the price will double. .”
Yu Wentao gently picked up the bracelet: "Is it expensive?"
Ye Fan: "It's not too expensive. If it doubles next year, don't expect me to buy you a jade bracelet. If the price of gold continues to rise, the most I can buy you is a gold ring."
Geng Huihui told her to put the milk away quickly.
There was a mezzanine under the big wardrobe in Yu Wentao's room. She put it on, turned it around a few times, and then put it in the mezzanine. "Huihui, if I leave suddenly, take out the things in the mezzanine and share them with Erbao. Let the other things go to the mezzanine." Your uncle, your father, your third uncle and your aunt will share it equally.”
Geng Huihui wanted to persuade her mother not to say bad words, but suddenly she remembered something: "Uncle, too?"
Ye Fan smiled and said: "Of course. Your uncle has agreed that he will be responsible for your mother's death!"
Yu Wentao was happy when he thought about what happened after his death: "Your uncle is a high-ranking official, and he keeps his word! Your uncle helped me with my funeral affairs, and many people saw me off. It was so glorious."
Geng Huihui: "You are truly a Han Chinese, and you live and die as you live."
Yu Wentao didn't understand. She was Han.
"Don't bully me." Yu Wentao pointed at her forehead and scolded, "I'm so angry that I'll give it all to Erbao."
Geng Huihui smiled carelessly.
Ye Fan: "Xiaohui doesn't have enough money, and she doesn't want to use mine, so she plans to withdraw the money in the afternoon. Huihui, do you and Sensen want to go with me and buy yourself a New Year gift?"
< br>
Geng Huihui's salary was not low, so she said without hesitation: "Go." After agreeing, she remembered to ask Geng Sensen, "I'll ask Sensen."
Geng Huihui pulled her shoes and called Geng Sensen out.
Geng Sensen is not interested in gold, silver and jade jewelry. Suddenly I thought that his mother would be arriving in the afternoon without any accident, so I immediately said that he would go too.
Although jade has increased a lot this year, small pieces of jade have not increased much. The two siblings each bought three gold and jade pendants. Gold was expensive, so they didn't buy a gold chain, and planned to go back and braid ropes to string them together.
Chen Xiaohui bought two gold rings and a pendant for herself. After buying it, we went to Ye Fan's house together, and Chen Xiaohui took her niece home.
There is no thirty this year, tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. Ye Fan didn't have time to go to his parents' house, so he planned to send them there during the Chinese New Year.
On the second day of the new year, Ye Fan took her two children to her parents' house and was surprised to see her sister-in-law and her brother: "You two didn't go to my pretty grandma's house?"
Ye Liangliang looked gloating: "Grandpa called us early in the morning and told us not to go."
Dabao asked: "Your two aunts are having sex?"
Ye Liangliang was shocked: "How do you know?"
Dabao: "Your grandma's daughter-in-law is in trouble. One year when I was very young, I heard that your uncle and your aunt were getting divorced during the Chinese New Year. What's the reason this time?"
Ye Liangliang said regretfully: "Grandpa didn't say anything." Then she asked her mother why.
Li Mingyue felt distressed when she thought of her parents sighing in sorrow, so that she was in a bad mood: "Why do you care?!"
Ye Liangliang was so angry that she asked Sister Erbao to go upstairs.
Ye Fan waited for the little girl to enter the bedroom before taking out the jade bracelet.
Li Mingyue exclaimed.
Ye Fan quickly reminded: "Keep your voice down. Don't let your daughter hear you."
When the little girl reaches the age where she loves beauty, she will wear something belonging to whomever she catches. She didn't dare to touch Ye Fan's things, but a piece of the gold bracelet Ye Fan gave to her mother was scratched off by the little girl.
Li Mingyue whispered: "Mom, try it on me. I have never worn such a good bracelet in my life."
Ye Fan handed it to her. Tao Chunlan reached out and took it: "My daughter bought it, I will try it first. If you like it, let Liangliang buy it for you."
Ye Fan laughed.
Li Mingyue muttered something about being cautious and looked at Chen Xiaohui. It seems to be asking you.
Chen Xiaohui took out a gold ring and explained that the price of gold is now high and she only has enough money left this year to buy two rings.
Tao Chunlan and her husband were stunned for a moment, never expecting to receive her filial piety in this life. Tao Chunlan immediately took off the ring from her hand and urged her husband to try it quickly.
Li Mingyue blinked at Ye Fan, you should ask her to buy it.
Ye Fan shook his head slightly.
Li Mingyue was surprised. She sat next to Ye Fan and asked in a low voice: "Are you sensible?"
"How old are you? You're still ignorant." Ye Fan laughed.
Li Mingyue: "You bought it too, right? Let me take a look."
Ye Fan rolled up his sleeves. When Li Mingyue saw the gold bracelet, she wanted to say that the gold was dazzling, but the one on Ye Fan's wrist was very beautiful. Her wrist was white and thin.
The more Li Mingyue looked at it, the more she felt it was prettier than the jade bracelet, so she asked Ye Fan to take it off and try it on her.
Only when Li Mingyue put it on her hand did she realize that there were a few rubies on it. Li Mingyue couldn't put it down and said: "I will buy one when the price of gold comes down." After a pause, "Buy another one for Liangliang. No, no, no, buy her a bracelet. I won't feel bad if she loses it."
Dabao was not interested in jewelry, so he went upstairs to find his two sisters.
Now that we live close by, we can come here on foot whenever we want, so Ye Fan didn't stay at his parents' house this year. I took my children back around four o'clock in the afternoon.
The days are long and the nights are short, and it's dark when we get home. Yang Mengxia was chatting with someone in the alley. When he saw Ye Fan, he shouted into the house: "Aunt Yu, you can cook now."
Erbao hugged her shoulders: "Auntie, are you waiting for us here?"
"Yes. Don't press me, I can't carry you." Yang Mengxia touched her head: "You haven't been half a head taller than me in a year or two. Erbao, are you 1.7 meters tall?"
Erbao shook his head: "I probably won't grow any longer. I'm not picky about food either. How come my brother can grow to 1.8 meters and I'm not as tall as my mother?"
Dabao: "I have too many worries."
Erbao raised her hand and hit her brother. Yang Mengxia was almost knocked down by her. Ye Fan raised his hand and slapped his daughter on the back: "Don't make trouble here!"
The brother and sister didn't dare to make trouble.
Aunt Li laughed and said it was time for her to cook too.
On the fourth day of the new year, Ye Fan didn't go anywhere. He was waiting for visitors at home. Sun Laifu, who was on duty at the hospital, called. His teacher needed a tutor. Starting tomorrow, he would be tutored for ten consecutive days. The price was thirty yuan a day, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Four o'clock.
Ye Fan hung up the phone and asked Dabao to find Chu Guangming.
Chu Guangming came over with Dabao and said, "Aunt Ye, I don't want to make up lessons."
"Have you saved enough money?"
Chu Guangming shook his head: "I think the small software Dabao mentioned is quite simple. I want to try to make a small game. Please help me ask the price. No matter how much it is sold, we will share it equally."
Ye Fan wanted to say, can I make money from your child? But if she wanted to tell her, Chu Guangming would definitely be embarrassed to trouble her: "Your student's father is a very powerful doctor. Do you understand what I mean?"
