Dabao wants to eat egg pancakes, and Yu Wentao wants to buy chicken, fish and meat. The reason is that they have time this weekend and are both at home, so they can give everyone a good meal. Ye Fan asked Geng Leilei, who lacked exercise, to help her carry vegetables while she made cakes for Dabao.
When Ye Fan heard this, he asked Dabao and Erbao, who were playing badminton in the courtyard, to go out and have a look.
Dabao handed the racket to Geng Sensen and saw no suspicious person outside: "Sister Huihui, what are you moaning about so early in the morning? I can hear your loud voice even in school."
Geng Huihui pointed to the gift on the threshold with a scared look on her face: "Didn't you say that no matter how popular the TV series is, no one comes to your home?"
Dabao was about to pick it up, but Geng Huihui hurriedly pulled him away. Dabao staggered two steps back, puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Geng Huihui lowered her voice: "Is it poisonous?"
"You've watched too many spy movies, haven't you?" Dabao pushed her hand away, "The poisonous Geng Leilei is also the ghost of poison. What's the point of bothering to poison you?" He carefully opened the box and found a bottle of perfume inside. It was all in English. Unfortunately, Dabao, who had been shopping with his mother, knew this brand. His mother disliked it, saying the fragrance was cloying.
Erbao thinks it smells good. Ye Fan bought her a bottle. Dabao asked his mother, "You still buy it if you don't like it?" Ye Fan's exact words were that Erbao has never used perfume, just like he has never eaten roast duck. The first time he eats it, he usually thinks it tastes good. You can tell the difference after eating too much. Good or bad.
If you don't let her eat it, give her a burnt roast duck and she might try it. Besides, it's not worth much.
Dabao curled his lips in disgust: "You're so petty."
Geng Huihui: "This perfume is not easy to buy. I have to go to Hong Kong City."
"You still think it's like 'goose feathers sent thousands of miles away, but the courtesy is light but the affection is heavy'?" Dabao rolled his eyes at her, "Don't get confused when you see a foreign language. To ordinary citizens, this thing is just a brand premium." Raising his hand. Throw it in the trash can far away.
Geng Huihui grabbed the perfume first.
Dabao frowned: "Reluctant?"
"No, no, he can find our house, maybe hiding in some corner. If he sees you treating his carefully prepared gift like this, will he become angry?"
It’s not impossible! Dabao asked: "How do you want to deal with it?"
"Find a nail, and then find a small basket that can be hung. Put the things in the basket and hang them on the wall. If it is stolen, just think that the bottle of perfume was taken away by someone before I came out."
Dabao immediately found a small basket, a hammer and nails, and Geng Huihui wrapped the wrapping paper. Then the siblings went home. The moment he closed the door, Dabao saw a figure coming out of the alley next to him. Dabao stopped and paid attention for a moment. He saw an old man digging through the trash can.
Dabao frowned and went out to look for garbage early in the morning. Could it be that he didn't eat last night and was so hungry that he couldn't bear it. Dabao smelled the fragrance when he came to the yard and wanted to get an egg pancake, but he didn't want to eat even if he dug through the trash can. Apparently he wanted to make a living by himself.
Dabao waved to Erbao. Erbao was about to ask her cousin what happened, but when she saw this, she asked: "First tell the person who sent my cousin perfume why he found our house."
"You still need to ask? You asked your relatives and neighbors." Dabao said: "The TV series has only aired for two episodes. During the day, ordinary viewers in the capital don't know whether Sister Huihui's home is in the West City or the East City. Our neighbors are not sure yet. The 'Teacher Chu' is Sister Huihui. How could he be so timely if he didn't ask specifically?"
Erbao suddenly realized: "Yes. But if nothing else, he is quite thoughtful."
"You are so thoughtful!" Dabao glared at her, "You must be very careful when you really like someone, but this perfume is not easy to buy in the capital. To get it in such a short time, I must have asked for it from a female friend or family member, and then bought a wrapping paper. Wrap it up. When Chu Guangming was at his poorest, he didn’t do that. Didn’t he go to the store to buy a card as a gift for your birthday? "
Erbao: "Doesn't he understand?"
Dabao nodded: "I understand. Since Sister Huihui has never been abroad, I thought she had never seen foreign things! By the way, I almost forgot when you interrupted me. Erbao, throw all the cardboard boxes and cans our family has saved into the trash can." Side.”
"No, grandma keeps it and sells it."
Dabao said as he walked out: "She is not short of these few cents. But some people may be desperate for life and want to die because they are short of a few cents and cannot afford to buy a meal of meat during the New Year. Hurry!"
Although Erbao was very thoughtful, she had grown up listening to her brother's habits, so she subconsciously followed him to the front and pulled things out from the front room: "Why don't you carry it yourself?"
"Let me see if anyone is still there." Dabao opened the door crack and looked out. The person who rummaged through the trash can was on the east side of his house before, but now he went to the west side of his house. Dabao asked Erbao to throw the garbage to the west.
Erbao asked: "Should I hand it to him?"
Dabao shook his head: "Grandma has tidied it up well. If you give it to others, they will think you pity them. Throw it in the trash can."
Erbao nodded repeatedly.
Huihui and Sensen were curious as to who was worthy of Dabao's detour. When they got to the door and took a closer look, the siblings were disappointed. He was just an ordinary old man.
Geng Sensen asked: "Dabao, have you seen him before?"
"I haven't seen it before." He closed the door after Erbao came in.
Geng Sensen didn't know what to say for a moment: "You are kind."
"I saw it. Mom said she could help if she saw it. Besides, it's just a little effort." Dabao ran to the kitchen door: "Mom, did I do the right thing?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Yes. But there are also some bad people who take advantage of your kindness to deceive. You can help others, but you must also protect yourself."
Dabao: "Then I will not approach strangers in the future."
Geng Huihui came in later and asked: "How can I help if I don't get close?"
Ye Fan: "If the other person falls, it's useless for you to go there, and it may cause the other person's bones to shift. At this time, call an ambulance. If the other person is hungry, then buy some food and give the merchant some errand fees. Ask the merchant to send it over. If you hear that the other person’s money has been stolen at the station, buy a ticket for him to avoid grabbing it out of hand when he sees the money in your hand.”
Geng Huihui said thoughtfully: "There is really no need to get close."
"Yes." Ye Fan added, "There are many poor people in the world, and there are also many bad people. Dabao, do you want to try the egg pancake?"
Dabao asked: "Don't you wait until grandma comes back?"
"You guys eat some cushion first." Ye Fan said, "There are still a lot of things to do. Your grandma will have to come back to finish them."
There was no gas stove before, so Yu Wentao found it inconvenient to cook porridge on the stove. Now that there is a gas stove, she also said that the porridge made by slow cooking on the stove is delicious, so that Ye Fan can only use the gas stove to spread pancakes.
But it wasn't a big deal, and Ye Fan didn't bother to argue with her.
Geng Huihui asked while eating the cake: "Auntie, what should I do about this?"
Ye Fan: "Didn't you take care of things?"
"Are you coming tomorrow?"
Dabao said: "People who are so careless can't last a few days. You should worry about those who are trying to act as tolerant. People who are truly honest are as rare as Uncle Laifu, and many people just pretend to be honest. For example, my dad."
Ye Fan was happy: "I took the opportunity to run against your dad again. Your dad is also honest."
"My dad disdains being frivolous. Otherwise, he will definitely coax you into thinking." Dabao said, "Sister Huihui, I can pretend whether I like you or not, but I can't pretend to be generous to you."
Geng Huihui: "You can borrow money to pretend."
Dabao shook his head: "Having money is different from borrowing money. People who borrow money to invest are anxious to recover their costs. They have thought about taking a long-term view to catch big fish, and they will also set limits for themselves. Once they get close to his bottom line, he will also be scheming. Be anxious. If you really like you and are really rich, don’t worry. As long as you agree to be with him, he can talk to you for three to five years.”
Geng Huihui looked at Dabao: "Are you secretly in love?"
Geng Sensen: "You don't know anything about falling in love. Dabao, have you ever been chased by this kind of girl?"
Dabao was shocked, "You, don't talk nonsense!" Ye Fan laughed out loud.
"Mom!" Dabao was anxious.
Ye Fan: "You are my and your father's child, and you have to live up to your expectations. It's normal for girls to pursue you in our family's life. I dare not admit such a thing, Dabao, my mother looks down on you."
Dabao thought his mother would scold him: "Don't you blame me?"
"Blame you for attracting bees and butterflies?" Ye Fan laughed, "If you bloom, butterflies will come! If my mother wants to blame me, I can't blame you for blooming alone."
Dabao: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have hid it from you."
"You can have your own little secret." Ye Fan turned to his niece, "Huihui, today it's not perfume but a brand-name bag, so you can't be tempted."
Geng Sensen felt that there was something in his aunt's words: "What does aunt want to say?"
Ye Fan: "You are not a gentleman if you hide your head and show your tail!"
Geng Sensen was enlightened: "Yes, why didn't we think of it?"
Ye Fan said: "Go out. I can't help you here."
Erbao: "Mom, let me help you."
Ye Fan asked: "Carrying the plate to receive the cake?"
Erbao wanted to say that she could help with the stall, but one pot and one spatula were enough. If she got another pot and put it on, it would only delay her mother's work: "I can chat with you."
If the gas stove is too hot, the pancakes will be burnt, but if the fire is too low, the pan will not be hot. Ye Fan needs to pay attention all the time and has no time to coax the children.
The second child doesn’t need his mother’s coaxing: “Why doesn’t anyone give me perfume?”
Ye Fan said without thinking: "You were eighteen years old when we were filming. Most people's eighteen years have just entered the third year of high school, just like you are in the play. Chu Guangming is a few years older than you. With the skillful hands of the makeup artist, If you dress like someone of the same age as you, the audience will definitely think that you two are high school seniors. It would be a sin to delay your college entrance examination. No one with any conscience would want to fall in love with you."
Erbao looked regretful: "I still want to know who among us is the most popular."
"Judging from the fact that people gave gifts just one day after the TV series was aired, this TV series is very popular. You and Guangming must be the most popular. By the way, go and call your mother. Chang Guangrong's factory is not on holiday yet. Call him the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. Another holiday.”
Erbao: "Does anyone buy sportswear on such a cold day?"
"You can wear pants, because they are loose, and you won't look bulky if you add cotton pants inside. You can wear a jacket when it's hot at noon. Your dad said before that it was the 49th. I looked at the calendar yesterday and it was already the 49th. Maybe this year is the year In the warm winter, you can wear sportswear to visit relatives. "Children these days are happy when they have new clothes, and they don't care whether they are sportswear or casual clothes.
Parents who are diligent and thrifty also prefer to buy sportswear, which is practical and can be worn all year round except during March and the dog days of summer.
Parents will definitely be happy if students want to buy sportswear instead of fancy clothes.
However, Ye Fan didn't expect that only half of the twelve episodes of the TV series had been released. Rongguang Sportswear became popular. Some people who used to help Chang Guangrong sell sportswear for Ye Fan's sake took the initiative to find him.
At this time, dozens of computers were installed, priced at 15,000, and were snapped up by some units.
If you buy it from outside, the one priced at more than 20,000 yuan will have the same configuration as Ye Fan's 15,000 yuan. If you buy it from outside, you will need to pay shipping and handling fees.
On the eighth day of the broadcast of "Glory Class 8", Ye Fan drove his car to collect the bill. Everyone who buys computers knows that Ye Fan has invested a lot of money. It is estimated that she really has no money, and she will need to buy computers from Ye Fan in the future, so everyone is very happy.
After Ye Fan got the money, he went to the store, pulled a cart of things and headed to the company. Now she has a separate office, where she calculates accounts, stuffs dividends and wages into envelopes, writes her name on each envelope, and then calls the people upstairs to ask them to come downstairs to collect their wages.
The leader of the R&D team came up first. When he saw that there were hundred-yuan bills inside, he felt that it was quite a lot: "Senior sister, the company has little money this year. Should we forget about the dividends?"
Ye Fan first explained: "In the past, the company was like a grass-roots team. There were fewer people to share, and you were given a larger share. Although it is still a bit like a grass-roots team, the share given to you has been diluted. This year's business is not good, compared to last year Much less.”
"Then it will take you a year and a month to get back your money?"
Ye Fan smiled and said, "I'm not worried about you. What are you worried about? Don't worry, mass production of computers will pay off in two or three years. We have a holiday tomorrow afternoon, and the water and electricity doors and windows should be closed. Oh, by the way, I heard about a magnetic card. Only if you have that kind of card can you get on the elevator. Let’s go back and talk to my colleagues about whether our elevator can be installed.”
The team leader also felt that the elevator could only go to the fifth and sixth floors and it was not safe enough: "Do I need to set a program?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "It's a kind of magnetic card. It's used on the subway. You can ask your classmates or alumni, and I'll ask someone to ask. If possible, install it so that you don't have to lock the door when you go downstairs to eat at noon."
Speaking of eating, the team leader had something to say: "Please hire a chef for us. That sister-in-law is almost too busy by herself."
Ye Fan: "There is a canteen on the first floor. Later I will find a few people to book out the canteen and cook lunch and dinner. If we don't charge them rent, it will be as cheap as eating from a dirty stall."
“Is there a canteen?!”
Ye Fan: "Didn't you notice that the security room, front desk lounge and sales office are on one side, and there is only a small reception room on the other side?"
"I-I thought there was a bathroom further inside."
Ye Fan said: "There is a bathroom, but it is very small. There are only two single rooms for men and women on each side, and it only takes up a few square meters. If your relatives or colleagues' relatives are reliable, they can come over and give it a try. But I put the ugly Let’s talk ahead——”
"Even if my parents come over, it won't work!" The team leader understood, "I think Brother Han's craftsmanship is pretty good."
Ye Fan: "He definitely doesn't have time. His stall costs one to two hundred a day, and he doesn't like the company's small money. But his relatives can also cook, and when the time comes, it will be left to his wife, who will take care of two relatives."< br>
Han Dawei's wife has cooked for the employees for several years and has never fooled her. The team leader would rather eat her food than the food cooked by his parents: "Then you ask. This place is far from the hotel. We have only been buying food for a few days. That’s enough.”
Ye Fan nodded: "Go and ask them to come up."
The sales office is more convenient on the street. There are no vegetable sellers around Ye Fan's company. The nearest street is still a mile or two away. The sales staff doesn't want to move here, so Ye Fan goes there to pay wages.
They were only responsible for delivering the computers, and there was no commission. Ye Fan also gave each person 100 yuan as hard work fee, and promised that if he made enough money next year, he would provide a minivan for the sales office.
Salespeople are all interested in cars. When they hear that they want a car, they are more happy than getting a year-end bonus.
Seeing that everyone was very satisfied, Ye Fan went to the clothing store and gave Ginkgo the year-end prize. Yu Gingxing gets commissions like sales staff, so her year-end bonus is much less than that of company employees. Ye Fan gave her five hundred yuan to keep her busy for a few more days, and gave her two boxes of snacks.
I care more about real money than starting from Ginkgo biloba. She was very happy when Ye Fan gave him the money: "Sister-in-law, I won't rest until the 29th, and I'll ask Hongwei to pick us up then. Sister-in-law, is Erbao going to be a big star?"
Ye Fan asked: "Do you think it is better to join the diplomatic service or become a star?"
"Of course the Foreign Service!"
Ye Fan smiled: "So, if someone asks you about Erbao, don't say too much. By the way, if the store is too busy, just ask Chang Guangrong to deliver the clothes. He bought a pickup truck a few days ago."
In the past, Zhang Xiaoming would help her deliver goods on a Sanbengzi, or Ye Fan would pull her over from the Xiushui Market warehouse. There was no need to bother his family. After Ye Fan left, Yu Gingxo went to the public phone booth outside to make a call.
When Ye Fan arrived home and saw Chu Guangming at his home, he thought of something: "Guangming, your biological father and mother didn't look for you, did they?"
Chu Guangming shook his head slightly: "I don't know. I haven't been back to Dazayuan recently. I am at Faxiao's house. People in Dazayuan don't know where I live."
