Nanny Xiao Wang said that the house was lively when her aunt came back.
Yu Wentao believed it to be true. When he heard the roar of the hair dryer, he said, "Don't blow dry your hair all day long. All the good hair will be blown off."
Ye Fan touched his thick hair: "It's okay if it falls off a little, so you don't have to thin it out."
Yu Wentao looked at Ye Fan's thick black hair: "I can see that your mother bothered you when you were a child."
"That's right. If I hadn't had good nutrition and a solid body foundation when I was a child, I might have become bald before I reached thirty." It's hard to blow dry hair if you have too much hair. There's no need to worry about catching a cold in hot weather. Ye Fan can just dry his hair. Tied up. But if it is tied loosely, you don’t have to worry about covering up the smell.
After dinner, before it got dark, Ye Fan went back to his house to rest. Upon seeing this, Yu Wentao asked Xiao Wang to go to the courtyard to enjoy the cool air. Seeing the empty wing, Yu Wentao asked: "Xiao Wang, what do you think about me moving here?"
Xiao Wang: "Isn't this the bedroom of Sensen's parents?"
Yu Wentao said: "His parents will have a guest house arranged by the superiors when they come back, so they won't stay here."
"Why are you moving?" This happened so suddenly that Xiao Wang was a little uneasy.
Yu Wentao glanced at Ye Fan's bedroom and whispered: "Let's go to the main room to watch TV, go to the main room to enjoy the cool air, go out and go in, there's a clanking sound, how can she sleep?"
There was another point that Yu Wentao didn't mention. Every time Geng Zhiye came back, she always felt that there was a commotion in the two people's room. Sometimes she got up to take a look, but there was no sound. It was like she was hallucinating, as if there was a ghost around her. So scary.
Yu Wentao was embarrassed to ask Ye Fan if the two of them stopped arguing as soon as they heard her get up, which made her seem to be an old mother-in-law.
He is already in his forties or fifties, and he doesn’t know what to make a fuss about.
Yu Wentao doesn't understand, and doesn't want to understand. She just wants to stay far away.
Xiao Wang asked: "When grandma moves here, doesn't she have to go to the main room to watch TV?"
Yu Wentao looked north: "There is an old TV in Dabao's study. He usually can't come back, so he moved it here and we can watch it."
Ye Fan doesn't like to watch sad sad dramas, and he wants her to tell her whether she can get along or not. What's the point of making noises? If she doesn't accept it, just do it. However, Yu Wentao and Xiao Wang like to watch, so that the three of them cannot watch together.
Ye Fan was busy at work, so it was normal for him to want to see something relaxing when he came back from get off work. Yu Wentao could understand and accommodate her. Ever since Xiao Wang found out that Ye Fan went to Peking University and majored in computer science, which she had never heard of, she felt that Ye Fan was inscrutable, so he sat with her watching TV and did not dare to say a word, for fear that if she made a mistake, she would be punished by Ye Fan. dislike.
If he could move out and reduce contact, Xiao Wang would be willing to do so.
"What about your bedroom?"
Yu Wentao: "I will use it as a cloakroom for your aunt. I cleaned it for her two days ago and it was full."
"Auntie has so many clothes."
Yu Wentao: "It's not just that she has a lot of clothes. The fabric of her clothes is good, and the clothes she wore ten years ago are still as good as new. Counting her seven or eight sets a year, that's a lot in ten years."
Xiao Wang had eight sets of clothes every year he worked at Ye Fan's house, and Ye Fan must have more than these. Xiao Wang imagined a wardrobe filled with clothes for one season: "Auntie needs a cloakroom."
"We will move when Erbao, Sensen and Huihui come back next weekend."
The next morning, Ye Fan heard that his mother-in-law was moving to the wing but did not stop him. Geng Zhiye complained more than once that the old lady lived across the door and he had to be gentle in everything he did.
It was winter when we moved here from Siheyuan, so there was no air conditioning here. Ye Fan said that he would install the air conditioners later.
On Sunday morning, several children helped Yu Wentao move things, and Ye Fan went to buy an air conditioner.
At first, Ye Fan planned to install an air conditioner in his permanent bedroom. Dabao thought that he would not come back often. Geng Huihui also said that she often lived on campus, so he would install one in the study, one in Sensen's and Erbao's rooms, and Dabao and Huihui would follow him when they came back. Sensen and Erbao make do.
There are three rooms in the main courtyard, Yu Wentao's bedroom, Ye Fan and Geng Zhiye's rooms, and Ye Fan's study. There is also one in the nanny's room in the front yard.
The nanny comes from a rural area and is used to being thrifty. She doesn't turn on the air conditioner during the day, and only turns it on an hour before going to bed at night, then turns it off and turns on the fan before falling asleep.
One time, Ye Fan was busy in the study very late. He checked the doors and windows before going to bed and found that she had turned off the air conditioner. He gave her 30 yuan each for high temperature in July and August. Nanny Xiao Wang was dumbfounded when she got the money: "What is the high temperature fee?"
Ye Fan: "Popsicle and soda money for going out to buy groceries on a hot day."
The little nanny said to herself, the big boss is really particular.
Xiao Wang also has holidays. Since there are many people at Ye Fan's house on weekends and she needs to do things, she has Monday off. On the Monday before the Mid-Autumn Festival, she expressed that she wanted to see her cousin. Ye Fan called Chang Guangrong. Chang Guangrong went to the factory after breakfast and went around to Ye Fan's house to pick her up.
When Xiao Wang saw her cousin, she asked: "Is there any high temperature fee in the factory?"
Her cousin: "We stay in the house every day and don't go out to bask in the sun." After saying that, she envied her cousin and said, "Boss Ye is still very particular. By the way, did you get a salary increase?"
Xiao Wang shook his head: "When I was shopping for groceries, I met a nanny who was just like me. She paid one hundred yuan a month, but she didn't have work clothes and there was only a small fan in the room. It was not as good as my aunt's house."
Once her cousin heard that a monthly salary of 100 packages of room and board was the market price, she no longer encouraged her to raise her salary: "If it's so good, then work hard. I saved money this year and will come to the factory next year. Although sewing machines are not difficult, it is also a skill to learn. Technology.”
"I can also learn skills at my aunt's house. I can cook. I can open a restaurant in the future." This matter was not arranged by Ye Fan. Usually Dabao and Erbao are not at home. After dinner, they wash several clothes and clean. Xiao Wang has nothing to do in the afternoon, so Yu Wentao asks her to learn something.
Xiao Wang's education is low and she can hardly understand Ye Fan's books. Yu Wentao asked her to go to Han Dawei's store to help.
Han Dawei has never thought about spreading his cold vegetable carts and breakfast stalls all over the city, and he is not worried about his business being robbed, so as long as it is recommended by friends and relatives, he thinks that people can teach him. Xiao Wang looked simple at first glance, and Han Dawei thought of the years when he and his wife had just returned to the city, so when Xiao Wang came to his house, except for the first few times, he always asked Xiao Wang to do it by himself.
Xiao Wang showed off to his cousin: "I think I will be able to sell breakfast and cold dishes in two years."
Her cousin wanted to say something, but seeing that she was full of expectations for the future, he swallowed it back and reminded her again that opening a store requires capital, so she should work hard and save money for two years.
Ye Fan didn't go to the company that day, but went to the mooncake factory to buy mooncakes.
There is no need to go north this autumn. Ye Fan is not busy or tired, so he plans to have a good Mid-Autumn Festival, so he goes to the mooncake factory at the end of the seventh lunar month to order a batch of mooncakes. The mooncake boxes are also specially designed - a man and a woman with their backs to each other, and a computer in front of them. , on one side are potted persimmons, with golden persimmons hanging all over the branches, symbolizing a good harvest. On the other side is a box of mooncakes. The villain holds the mouse in one hand and stuffs the mooncakes into his mouth with the other.
In addition to these, there are ten words - Fanhua Computer celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival with you!
This idea was thought up by Ye Fan, but Erbao drew it. Erbao also complained that the money her mother spent on her was not wasted at all. Ye Fan gave her two hundred-dollar bills, and Erbao immediately shut up and changed the situation until her mother was satisfied.
Ye Fan had eaten enough traditional five-nut mooncakes, so a box of eight mooncakes only had two five-nut pieces. Ye Fan prepared one hundred and twenty boxes, keeping twenty boxes for himself, giving one to the nanny, and taking the remaining ninety-nine boxes to the company.
On Thursday afternoon, Ye Fan called his secretary in and asked her to hand out mooncakes one by one. Except for himself, everyone had mooncakes, including the company's cleaning staff, security guards, and the front desk.
The secretary asked: "Where are those in other places?"
Ye Fan: "The shelf life of this mooncake is still more than twenty days. I'll ask other colleagues to bring it to them later. Call me and ask them who they want to bring it to, or who their share will be given to."
Employees from other places were very curious about the mooncakes prepared by the company. Even though they were not worth much, they did not want to give them to their colleagues, so they asked their colleagues in Beijing to keep them for them.
In the end, there were only a few boxes left, so Ye Fan asked his secretary to take them upstairs and open them for everyone to have afternoon tea.
When Ye Fan got home, she divided the twenty boxes of mooncakes, leaving two boxes for her parents and two boxes for her mother-in-law to keep back at her parents' house. She also asked Chang Guangrong, Zhang Xiaoming, Wei Jianshe and others to take a few boxes to friends and subordinates. I also left a few boxes for my children, nieces and nephews.
On Monday morning, Erbao brought a box of mooncakes to work, saying that her mother's company gave them to her.
Everyone saw the little man on the mooncake box and teased Erbao: "After eating this mooncake, do you have to ask your mother to buy a computer?"
Erbao shook his head slightly: "My mother said that demand has been in short supply recently, so I don't need everyone's support." Then he showed off, "I drew the pattern above." "Do you still have this skill?" Erbao's direct supervisor stopped.
Erbao nodded: "I suspect that my mother asked me to learn painting just for today."
The boss followed her words and teased: "Then your mother is indeed a businesswoman."
Erbao gave her a piece.
The boss smiled apologetically: "I'm not used to eating five-nut mooncakes."
Erbao: "That's not the case. The bean paste filling is similar to dim sum."
The work unit also distributed mooncakes, so no one was interested in Erbao's mooncakes. But after hearing this, several people took one piece and took it apart, and then divided it in half among their colleagues. Several people who like to eat five kernels also got half a piece of five kernel mooncakes.
Dabao's boss found that there were various flavors and thought that Ms. Ye Fan was really not simple.
Ms. Ye, who is not simple, is in the army at the moment.
Friday was August 15th, but Dabao and Erbao were not at home, so Ye Fan moved the family's Mid-Autumn Festival to Sunday. She went to her parents' house alone on Saturday. Tao Chunlan felt very sad when she saw her first and second treasures missing: “It has grown bigger in the blink of an eye.”
Ye Fan: "Liang Liang is still young. Xiao Hui is also with you."
It's okay if I don't say it, but when I mention Tao Chunlan, I feel even more worried: "What will we do if Xiaohui is gone?"
Chen Xiaohui immediately said: "I will adopt a child another day."
"Who would throw away a good child? It's not like before when we didn't have enough to eat."
Chen Xiaohui looked at Ye Fan subconsciously, and when she saw Ye Fan's expression changed slightly, she said: "No one is willing to part with a healthy boy, and girls can be found everywhere. You and my dad are willing to help me take care of him, and we will go to the orphanage tomorrow to have a look."< br>
"Are you serious?"
Chen Xiaohui nodded. Tao Chunlan was worried that if she thought about it, she would regret it again. Ye Fan happened to have a car and asked Ye Fan to drive Chen Xiaohui to the welfare home. Ye Fan was busy at the orphanage for a long time. On Sunday, several children came back for another busy day. Ye Fan was exhausted physically and mentally. When he arrived at the army, he said: "It's better here."
Geng Zhiye put his arm around her waist and went upstairs: "You are so nice but you didn't bring me anything delicious."
"It's for you." Ye Fan went to the dormitory and opened his bag. Geng Zhiye saw the two little people and the computer on the moon cake box, and he was angry and funny: "The advertisement has reached the army."
Ye Fan opened the box, lowered his head and said with a smile: "It's time to advertise."
Before the Olympics were over, Chang Guangrong found several champions of unpopular sports to advertise, and also asked the champions' hometown newspapers to report on the matter, further expanding the popularity of "Rong Guang". Ye Fan was able to get a lot of money in the third quarter. Counting the money she made in the first half of the year, it was enough to win half of the operating rights of a factory. If you have your own factory that can produce in large quantities, you can ask Dabao to shoot advertisements.
Geng Zhiye didn't know her plan yet, so he heard this and asked: "I have to buy many things from other people. Will the other party suddenly stop selling to you because your business is good?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "Not for the time being. One day my things will be shared with them abroad, and they will definitely cut off the supply. But it will take a few years for this to happen. Now I am just an unknown person in the eyes of big capital. Enterprise.”
"So you sponsor research at the institute just to cope with the future?"
Ye Fan nodded: "It's not like I'll stop working for one or two years. I didn't think about dying at the age of fifty or sixty. You said that I would live a glorious life at the age of seventy, but in the end I would turn into a grandson. What a shame. Shameful.”
Geng Zhiye put down the mooncake box and hugged her, asking softly: "Is it hard?"
"It's not hard work. It's not like I'm doing the research myself." Ye Fan said, "I know that my talent is limited in this area, so I do what I'm good at and make money for them to research. The patents are all mine, and I'm not afraid of them leaking them. I cooperate. I have chosen a law firm and will be my company’s legal team in the future.”
Geng Zhiye pushed her away a little: "When did it happen?"
Ye Fan was too busy to remember clearly: "I think it was mentioned at the end of the year before last. He wanted to review the contracts of Dabao, Guangming, and Huihui. He said he was too busy, so I suggested that he go out and work alone, and said that he didn't need to work alone. Looking for a house, I have two apartments in the university town just in time for the Chinese New Year. When the house became available, he found a few juniors and sisters to set up a law firm. Dabao introduced Chang Guangrong's friends in the film and television company to him, and he introduced him to directors, screenwriters and investors he knew. The money given to me is enough for our whole family.”
Geng Zhiye was convinced: "You are really capable. I thought that if you end international trade, you will lose a lot of income. If the east is not bright, the west will be bright, right?"
"Don't tell others about this."
Geng Zhiye: “Because lawyers often walk in gray areas?”
Ye Fan shook his head slightly: "I am not a legal person, so I am not afraid of being implicated. Some people think that lawyers are omnipotent. I don't want them to often find lawyers through me just because they know that I am a partner of a law firm."
Geng Zhiye held her in his arms and sat down: "I don't want you to be too busy."
As long as Ye Fan doesn't go abroad, doesn't have to worry about long-distance flights and trains, and has work every day, it's fulfilling for her.
"So I came to your place to rest."
Geng Zhiye was very happy and couldn't help but hug her.
The army was too clean, and it was easier to calm down here than in front of the Buddha, so she was exhausted from resting in the army for two days. You can't stay too long, otherwise she will be irritated by the boring days.
Geng Zhiye also understood that she couldn't stay, and he didn't want her to stay for too long for half a year at a time, so if she wanted to go back, Geng Zhiye would let her go.
A few days after arriving home, it was Saturday again. Ye Fan came out at four o'clock and went to Erbao's place. He saw that she had closed the doors and windows tightly and was going to go home after work, so he waited in the house. It was almost time to get off work, and Ye Fan drove out of the community to the door of her unit.
Erbao saw a familiar car running towards him: "Mom!"
Ye Fanxin said, no wonder the second brother and sister-in-law were worried about her coming to work: "Er Bao, no one will bully you, right?"
"No!" Erbao took the soda from his mother, it was ice cold, "Mom just bought it?"
Ye Fan: "I took it from your refrigerator."
Erbao's hands froze and his smile froze: "You, you, you, you saw it?"
"Mom didn't criticize you." Ye Fan carefully turned the car around, "Mom and dad, at their age, can't help but drink some soda and eat a popsicle. It's just that drinking too much soda is bad for your health. If you damage your nerves, then you can go Become a primary school teacher.”
Erbao relaxed: "Mom, I only drink two bottles a week. When I am busy, or grandma comes over, I can't drink one bottle a week."
"Grandma doesn't allow you to drink?"
Erbao shook his head: "No. Grandma and Xiao Wang helped me make soup, which was enough for me to drink several meals. I don't have the stomach to drink soda. Mom, should we give Xiao Wang some extra salary?"
Ye Fan: "It's not your concern. I know it well."
"Then let's talk about what I should be concerned about? You see that I have a stable job now, should you buy me a car?" Erbao didn't wait for her mother to refute, "Alto is fine. Chu Guangming's Alto is quite easy to drive."
Ye Fan didn't answer.
When the mother and daughter arrived home, an Alto parked at the door. The license plate showed that it was Chu Guangming's car. Erbao jumped out of the car: "Mom, mom -" pointed at Alto, "What is this called? Fate! You deserve to buy me an Alto!"
