Geng Zhiye has always believed that watches are just for telling the time. Who would have thought that there is a deep-diving waterproof watch? It still feels simple and grand to him, with a low-key and luxurious look.
As a former navy man, it’s hard not to like this watch.
From this, Ye Fan saw Geng Zhiye's preferences, and Geng Zhiye would definitely like the four watches she chose for him.
Hearing Geng Benben's words, Ye Fan joked: "Your uncle likes expensive things."
"Tch!" His aunt was talking nonsense again.
Speaking of expensive, as far as he knew, the watch on his uncle's hand was not cheap either. Ten years ago, it cost more than 100 yuan to buy with a ticket. Ten years ago, the price of a watch was enough to last a family of four for half a year, but now it is only enough for citizens of the capital for one month. In this way, it's not much cheaper than the one he has, and it's not as practical as his watch. No wonder his uncle didn't like it before.
Yu Wentao had the same idea as her grandson, "The style looks good. I want to buy one."
Geng Huihui was delighted: "How should grandma wear it?"
"It's just not suitable for me." Yu Wentao looked pityful.
Ye Fan: "There seems to be women's watches."
Yu Wentao shook his head: "No one at my age still wears a watch."
Geng Benben asked subconsciously: "What should I wear if I don't wear a watch?"
Huihui gave her brother a "really stupid" look: "A gold and silver bracelet or a jade bracelet. How many old ladies have you seen wearing watches?"
Geng Benben: "No one wears grandma, so be the first one."
Yu Wentao suspected that her eldest grandson had bad intentions: "Your grandma wants to go out and chat with people, but she doesn't want to be the one being talked about."
Ye Fan reminded: "It's getting late and the rice has been steamed. Should we stir-fry for dinner?"
The family goes to the kitchen.
The dishes to be made tonight are ready, and we will wait for Dabao and Sensen to come back. Ye Fan turned on the gas stove and Erbao helped her. In about ten minutes, four dishes were ready.
Dabao came over immediately to serve the dishes. He was afraid that if he was slower, his sister would criticize him for being lazy.
After dinner, Dabao and Geng Sensen washed pots and dishes. Benben wanted to help, but Ye Fan asked him to go to the main room to watch TV.
In early autumn, the days are still long and the nights are short. It is not dark yet when we eat, and it is almost eight o'clock when we arrive in the main room after dinner. Yu Wentao looked at the clock on the clock and asked Erbao to turn on the TV. The TV turned on, and it happened to be a replay of the family emotional ethics drama that became a hit at the end of last year.
I haven't watched Geng Benben, but I just found it interesting. After watching it for ten minutes, I started to frown. After watching the episode, he felt choked in his heart over the dinner he had eaten in the evening. He couldn't help but curse. First he thought the heroine was too kind, then he disliked the male lead, and finally he disliked the man. Lord parents.
His mouth felt dry, so Erbao gave him a glass of water. After drinking it, Geng Benben couldn't help but vomit: "Doesn't the director have anything to shoot? Shooting such a terrible thing! I simply think the audience is too happy, so I deliberately gave him The audience is in trouble!”
Ye Fan: "The misfortune between the hero and his family can highlight the kindness of the heroine."
"Is she so kind? The Virgin Mary has to call her mom when she sees her!"
Ye Fan choked on his own saliva.
Geng Benben thought he was right: "Auntie, have you noticed that the heroine looks a bit like my aunt?"
Yu Wentao: "When you talk about TV, just talk about TV. Why are you talking about your aunt?"
Geng Benben: "When I was watching TV, Erbao told me a little story about the beginning. The heroine has two suitors. The former is like Uncle Laifu who has worked for several years, has money and a house but is average in appearance, and the latter is like Uncle Laifu who has just graduated and has an average appearance. The dignified Liu Ning. The former has a simple family, while the latter has a complicated family. If the heroine chooses the former, she will have a worry-free life without having to go through so many hardships. Difficult. It's a pity that the heroine chose the latter. If the hero cheated on her, I would sympathize with the heroine. She knew what the hero's family was like before she got married. You think the heroine just asked for it. She is kind and hard-working. What about my aunt? I think those who like her are those who have never experienced hardship or want a daughter-in-law like her.”
Yu Wentao opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
Ye Fan laughed uncontrollably: "Benben, it's not that she looks like your aunt, but young girls all long for love."
Geng Benben turned to her sister: "Grandma said that your partner is evil, but you are still talking to him, is it because he——"
"Don't push me!" Geng Huihui said, "His family is not as troubled as the Liu family."
Geng Benben: "That's because our two families are well matched, and there is nothing to dislike about his family. You are really an actor. Do you think Yan Weining's parents can still be the same as they are now, letting him come to see you every weekend."
"How do you know he visited me over the weekend?"
Geng Benben raised his eyebrows at grandma.
Huihui frowned: "Why do you tell him everything?"
"I asked my grandma before I told her. If I didn't ask my grandma, I still wouldn't be able to remember."
Geng Huihui said angrily: "Then you continue. I'm going to take a shower." After that, she went back to the house to get a change of clothes.
Geng Benben was very angry when he saw this: "My niece is like my aunt! That's right!"
Yu Wentao was speechless.
Ye Fan laughed and said, "Benben, the Yan family is different from the Liu family. The Yan family doesn't care much about family status when looking for a daughter-in-law. The woman's family background is clean, her parents, brothers and sisters are honest and don't cause trouble, and the woman herself is knowledgeable and good-looking and tall."
"So simple?"
Ye Fan: "Simple? A child who has brothers and sisters and a harmonious family cannot be selfish. People who grow up in this kind of environment have good character, respect the old and love the young, have no shortcomings in appearance and height, and are knowledgeable. Such people It’s one of a kind.”
"Why do I feel like I heard someone say what you said?"
Dabao said: "The sexual transformation comes to Uncle Fu."
Geng Benben suddenly realized: "Yes! Well, that's not right either. Uncle Laifu's parents are from rural areas."
"His brother-in-law is Chang Guangrong." Ye Fan said, "If he didn't have such a powerful brother-in-law, and his parents were from the city and were just ordinary workers, Yan Weining's parents would have agreed."
Geng Benben frowned slightly, obviously not believing it: "Don't families like that prefer marriage?"
Ye Fan: "Don't think that the couple has no affection when they think of marriage. Even if their family wants their children to get married, they have to set a certain range and look for it within this range. If there is really no suitable one, just find someone with a clean financial background. The children can't count on it. , give birth to a smart grandson or granddaughter, you can count on the third generation.”
Geng Benben couldn't help but shake his head: "Isn't it?"
Ye Fan said: "Smart parents choose this way. Short-sighted parents don't care about the opinions of their children. For example, if we only care about the present, we will not ask your aunt to find Sun Laifu, but to find someone from a well-matched family. He may be You like to eat, drink and have fun, but you may also have a human face and a beastly heart. When you want to divorce, we will ask you to tolerate it for the sake of cooperation or the interests involved. Is this what you think of marriage? ”
Geng Benben: "I think what you said is somewhat contradictory. Parents with outstanding abilities cannot be short-sighted, and it is impossible for their children to find a child who is all five poisons."
Ye Fan: "Outstanding work ability does not mean that you will choose a partner for your children. Besides, what if you don't care about the happiness of your children and value the interests of the family more? Ben Ben, you must have heard of it if you have never seen it. How many people in the neighborhood are doing this for their children? Sons sell their daughters. How many people let their sons marry lazy women?”
Dabao: "Brother Ben Ben, having peaches and plums all over the world does not mean that you can educate your children well. For example, your grandma and grandpa."
Geng Benben understood better: "Yan Weining's parents are really smart?" Ye Fan said: "Yan Weining thought your sister was just an actor at first. If he knew that his parents did not agree with him marrying an actor, he would not check your sister, and he would not know about you. Sister, filming is just a part-time job.”
"Wanwan also needs to find out which company or unit my sister is in."
Ye Fan: "But I asked Chang Guangrong to inquire. After graduating from college, his several blind dates were all within the system, and he has never dated an actor. It shows that he is not a fun-loving person."
"My sister is just an actress. Don't his parents think that my sister is in public every day?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "You are talking about a star. His parents will arrange for your sister to take on some deep and meaningful movies and TV series. If you are over forty and need to play roles like aunt and mother, if your sister doesn't want to play, they can arrange for you. My sister is pursuing an official career.”
Geng Benben was so shocked that he opened his mouth slightly.
Ye Fan said: "You didn't expect it, did you? Now I believe that Yan Weining really doesn't care about your sister's career, right?"
Geng Benben nodded: "No wonder my sister broke up with him. You are not angry when he comes to you."
"You also know about this?" Ye Fan was surprised.
Yu Wentao nodded: "I said so."
Ye Fan asked Geng Benben: "Do you think I have a good temper?"
"Yes!"
Ye Fan: "First of all, he came to me to ask for help. He looked like he was mentally ill. But if you think about it, he would rather come to me than to make a fuss with your sister. What does that mean?"
Geng Benben: "Afraid that my sister will be angry? Aren't you afraid that you will be angry?"
Ye Fan: "The result of my anger is to support your sister to break up with her. I am not angry, I will persuade your sister to give him another chance. There is only one result for him to go to your sister rashly."
"As expected of a thoughtful person."
Ye Fan: "Mindfulness is mostly derogatory. He must be smart and rational. If Yan Weining finds a young lady who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, then the young lady will not make much progress in the future, and may cause trouble outside and cause trouble for him. Find someone smart and knowledgeable, Children inherit the advantages of their mothers, and they can also apply them to their daughters-in-law.”
"So smart parents will choose the latter?"
Ye Fan nodded: "If personal ability and family background are the same, then a smart person will choose the former. I don't object to your sister dating him because he and his parents are both smart people. He is the exact opposite of your sister-in-law in this aspect. ”
Geng Benben asked: "Auntie, aren't you worried that I will divorce my sister-in-law after I come to Fugu and have a successful career when I am over forty?"
Ye Fan: "We are so well matched that we won't leave?"
"The loss is small when we are well-matched." Geng Benben said, "There is a saying that regrets teaching a husband and son-in-law to seek a title. Although the circumstances are different, the meaning is almost the same."
Ye Fan laughed and said: "You know a lot. But don't forget, what I said is that if there is no suitable person in the circle, find someone with outstanding talents. If there is someone in the right family who is not outstanding in all aspects, but has good character and can I will choose the right person to live a down-to-earth life, I’m afraid Erbao won’t like him.”
Erbao smiled and said: "I like it. From now on, I will be the master of the outside world and he will be the master of the home."
Ye Fan was happy.
Dabao stood up and hit her on the head: "Don't be ashamed, little girl."
Erbao stretched out his hand to give him, but Dabao nimbly dodged and ran away. Ye Fan couldn't help but ask: "Why go?"
"Let's take a shower." There are two bathrooms in the house, and there are water boilers in the bathrooms for bathing. Geng Huihui uses one and Dabao uses the other.
Ye Fan felt that Geng Huihui was almost finished washing, so he asked Erbao to go to the back to get a change of clothes.
The next morning, when Ye Fan arrived at the company, she received messages from several factories in the south, asking her if she would still work in international trade next year.
Ye Fan told them before that he would stop working after two years. It has been exactly two years since I said this. If she doesn't go next year, those factories won't be able to take advantage of this season when fruits are cheap and fish is plentiful to purchase in large quantities.
Ye Fan asked the secretary: "Did you tell them when I would call them back?"
Secretary: "I said you might come over at noon, maybe in the afternoon. Nanfang said it's not urgent. It will be fine if I call you back in two days."
"Then I'll go out." Ye Fan drove to the street and picked up Wei Jianshe, and then drove him to Xiushui Market.
Zhang Xiaoming is busiest in the morning, with many people picking up goods. There are a lot of people shopping on weekend mornings, and you can also sell a lot of retail items. Usually there is not much business from 9 am to the time after get off work in the afternoon.
When Ye Fan and Wei Jianshe arrived there, Zhang Xiaoming asked two employees to keep an eye on them in the store. He followed them to the office. There was no office at first, but later he took down the next door and turned it into an office.
On the way here, Ye Fan had already told Wei Jianshe that the Nanbian Factory asked her if she would like to work again next year. Wei Jianshe asked Zhang Xiaoming what he meant. When the three of them arrived at the office, Ye Fan directly asked Zhang Xiaoming what he thought of the matter.
Zhang Xiaoming said with a smile: "I don't have to go south to pick up the goods and go north to deliver them. I can wait at home for ten and a half days to get the money. I definitely want to work for another two years. But the children in construction are young and Sister Ye's company is busy, so I can't be too selfish." ”
Ye Fan was not surprised when he heard this. In recent years, he was smarter and more eloquent than before, but at his core he was still the simple and kind Zhang Xiaoming. Ye Fan said: "Then I'll tell Nanbian that I'll go there once or twice next year and let them watch and stock up."
Wei Jianshe nodded: "My child will be gone by this time next year. When my father can't stand alone, he and Xiaoru will have to close the store. Although that store will go north without me for a year I make more money in one trip, but the risk is low, and I don’t have to worry about my family.”
Zhang Xiaoming couldn't help but said: "I thought I wouldn't go next year."
Ye Fan: "Because we come to them to get goods, those factories have hired some temporary workers in the past two years. If we suddenly stop going, they will lay off employees. If we go there once or twice next year, the temporary workers can work until the end of the year. Temporary workers It’s a good time to consider what to do during the Spring Festival. I don’t dare to work alone. After the New Year, various factories will recruit people, and it will be easier for them to find work.”
Zhang Xiaoming nodded: "Our store will have to go to the south to get goods from now on, so we can't do everything right."
Ye Fan: "Yes."
Wei Jianshe asked: "Why does the Southern Factory choose to find people after the new year? Is there any unspoken rule?"
There are few private factories in the capital. Ye Fan doesn't blame him for not understanding: "There are many private companies in the south, and there are no unified standards in terms of wages and benefits. After the Chinese New Year, everyone gathered together. As soon as they heard that this factory paid well and still needed people, they went there after the New Year." He worked in this factory. The original factory had to recruit people because of his departure. Also, there were many foreigners in the southern factory. Some people just wanted to make some money to marry a wife or build a house for their family. With this money, I don’t want to be too far away from home, so I won’t go there next year.”
Wei Jianshe: “Can I not go if I don’t want to?”
Ye Fan nodded: "Okay. I didn't sign a labor contract. Even if I signed it, it would still be a temporary labor contract."
Zhang Xiaoming: "The two employees of our company signed a temporary employment contract. I feel that those two guys will have to go out and work alone after working for us for another six months."
Ye Fan: "You are so smart, do you have any ideas?"
Zhang Xiaoming shook his head: "It's not that I'm smart, I just want to make a lot of money. Young people nowadays are not as steady and practical as we are."
Wei Jianshe didn't know what to say.
Ye Fan reminded: "You are in your forties and you are halfway through your life, while others are in their twenties, and your life has just begun. It is the age when you love to make troubles and want to make a career."
