Chapter 20 Opportunity to go abroad
The training arrangement at Metersbonwe headquarters was after National Day. Originally, Kang Qirui wanted to arrange for the second brother to go, but the second sister-in-law did not agree. In the end, the second sister-in-law and Zhang Yongfang passed by.
Although he failed to transfer the second brother, Kang Qirui felt that the problem was not big. According to his estimate, 200,000 should be almost the majority of the cash that the second brother could come up with. He should not have the money to go to Yunnan again. South.
The store has begun to be renovated. Metersbonwe headquarters sent people to design and supervise the decoration. Chen Wei’s construction team is in charge. This matter is left to the second guy to keep an eye on. He and Chen Wei is an old friend and he is easy to talk to if anything happens.
After finishing these things, it means that the decoration and training are completed and the business is opened. Kang Qirui has entered a state of leisure again. Zhu Wanling recently works the night shift and sleeps during the day. She has no time to accompany him, so she has to watch TV at home.
At this time, the phone rang. Kang Qirui picked up the phone and said, "Hey, who are you looking for?"
After chatting for a while, Kang Ershou and Wang Yulian came back from a walk. Kang Ershou said to Old Dou said: "Old Dou, Uncle He called just now and said he wanted to treat you to tea."
"Where's the fermented bean curd?" Kang Ershou asked doubtfully. Kang Qirui nodded. Kang Ershou continued to ask: "Why did he invite me to drink tea?"
"Uncle He said that he went to the United States to see his son some time ago. Now that he is back, he wants to make an appointment to chat with you." Kang Qirui told Lao Dou Kang Ershou the content of the phone call.
Kang Ershou knew what was going on after hearing this. What a chat. Isn’t this just showing off? He waved his hands and said displeasedly: "If you don't go, that fermented bean curd will be unlucky all his life. Now that he has gone to the United States, he dares to come back and scare me. He has been working under me before. What's the big deal?"

At this time, the second sister-in-law came out of the room. After hearing the gossip, she also joined in: "My son is in the United States now, which must be great. Do you have a son in the United States, sir?"
Kang Ershouyi With a disdainful face, he said, "I have a good tutor, my parents are here, and I don't travel far away. I can have family happiness together every day. He wants to see his son but it is miserable because he has to go to the United States. After going to the United States, he gets carried away when he comes back. Hum. "
Kang Qirui saw that Old Dou was resolute and said, "If Old Dou doesn't go, you can call Uncle He yourself, otherwise they will say we are rude."
Because of this incident, Kang Ershou stayed awake all night and wrote to his distant cousin Axiu in the middle of the night, hoping that she would apply for him to go to the United States. Kang Ershou is a person who cares about face very much. He wants to have what others have. When others go to the United States, he also wants to go to the United States.
Two days later, the second sister-in-law came back with a letter to Kang Ershou. When Kang Ershou saw that it was from his distant cousin Axiu, he opened it and read it immediately. The whole family was called for a family meeting.
It's just that no one paid attention to what Old Dou Kangershou said.
Lao Dou Kangershou often called for meetings, asking who was responsible for mopping the floor, cooking, and other trivial matters. Everyone thought that when his father called a meeting, he was also asking them to wash the dishes. Well, no one paid any attention to him.
Lao Dou Kangershou thought they hadn't heard, so he frowned and loudly called the meeting again, but everyone still did your thing and I did my thing.
“Don’t you want to go to the United States?” Old Dou Kangershou asked loudly and unhappily.
“What? The United States?” Everyone was surprised for a while. What to go to the United States? Did they hear it correctly?
"Master, are you going to the United States?" The second sister-in-law, who was helping Tianxiu with his homework, hurriedly ran out and put aside his son's homework.
"I told you about the meeting twice, but you couldn't hear me? I thought you were not interested in going to the United States." Old Dou Kangershou said in a very bad tone.
"Dad, every time you talk about a meeting, we all think that you are talking about trivial things like taking turns mopping the floor like before." Sachiko asked everyone to sit down, "Go to the United States and have a meeting."< br>
"Xianglan, stop washing the dishes and come out quickly." The boss Guangye immediately shouted to the sister-in-law inside.
When everyone was seated, Kang Ershou said: "Today, your cousin sent a letter back from the United States, inviting me and your grandmother to visit relatives in the United States."
"Oh, Lao Dou, you want to solicit sponsorship, right? I have no money." After hearing this, Azu felt that Lao Dou wanted everyone to contribute money, so he immediately said that he had no money. When the others heard that they wanted to contribute money, they were also the first to do so. They fled the living room as soon as they reacted. They didn't want to lose a lot of money in vain.
“She’ll cover all the expenses!” Kang Ershou threw the king bomb, and everyone came back and sat down immediately.
Kang Ershou continued: "Considering that we are in poor health and old, we can bring one of our children to accompany us."
Everyone was shocked when they heard what Lao Dou said. I also thought carefully about it. It doesn’t cost money. If you don’t go, it won’t be free. That’s the United States. "Wait a minute, pause first." The second sister-in-law stood up and stopped everyone when they were about to scream.
"Ah Chan, I told you to listen to Dad and stop making noise." Boss Guang said dissatisfied. It was almost the thrilling time. We announced who we were going to take, but why did we suddenly stop?
"No, my husband didn't come back." The second sister-in-law explained the reason.
Because she is the only one at home now, if something has to be settled on a head-to-head basis, she will not be at a big disadvantage. And she didn't dare to make up her mind about such a big matter.
"Why don't you just convey it to him later." Sachiko was also dissatisfied.
"How can I make it clear? I'll call him right away." The second sister-in-law firmly disagreed.
When Xingzi heard that the second sister-in-law was about to call her second brother, she thought it made sense. She also wanted to call Ayao. The two of them met directly to grab the phone. In the end, the second sister-in-law got the phone first and dialed it, and got the first priority. machine.
The second guy received a call. As soon as he heard that he had the opportunity to go abroad to the United States for free, he immediately put down his work and ran back. Sachiko called Ayao, but had Ayao gone on a business trip? Opportunity comes back.
After a while, the second guy Azong rushed home. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you without saying anything. Seeing this, Kang Qirui stood up and wanted to speak. Everyone looked at him. They stood up and looked at him.
In everyone's eyes, Kang Qirui is the most likely person to accompany the second elder to the United States. The fifth oldest child in the Kang family has a high level of education and is fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. He is not afraid of being unable to communicate when he goes to the United States. And they knew that when Kang Qirui was studying at the University of Hong Kong, he went to the United States to participate in some competition.
“I think you don’t have to consider me this time.” Kang Qirui said something unexpected.
Everyone looked at Kang Qirui in surprise. Although they knew he was well-informed, going abroad was still a new thing in this era. Kang Qirui explained his reasons: "After the holidays, students will start formal classes after military training. It is difficult to ask for leave in the first class. And although I teach Chinese, I am also a university teacher. It is not convenient to go abroad and I need to report." ”
Nowadays, university teachers are still very strictly controlled when going abroad. In addition to applying to the school and obtaining approval or signature from the school, they also need to report their itinerary to the relevant departments. This is because university teachers are For scarce talents, going abroad not only involves personal interests, but also involves the interests and reputation of the school, so their overseas behavior needs to be managed and controlled. After Kang Qirui joined the company, his passport was handed over to the foreign affairs department for safekeeping. He didn't want to get into trouble by going abroad for fun.
"The second guy and the second sister-in-law are not suitable either." Kang Qirui continued, but these words made the second guy and the second sister-in-law change their expressions.
"Don't be angry, you guys and sisters-in-law. We still have to open a store. Hundreds of thousands have been paid for it. Now that you have gone to the United States, who will be responsible for the decoration of this store? Who will go to the headquarters for training? Wait for us We have made money, but when are we going to have fun? We have actually invested the money." Kang Qirui's words were accepted by the second brother and his wife. They paid 200,000 yuan to go abroad. Playing is great, but money is the most important thing. The rest of the Kang family had long heard about the fact that the second child and the fifth child jointly contributed money to open a store with Zhang Yongfang, and they were not surprised to hear Kang Qirui talk about it now.
Kang Qirui then looked at the eldest brother and sister-in-law and said: "Where are the big brothers and sisters-in-law? The factory environment is not good now. There are laid-off workers everywhere. You have to take at least one month's leave to go to the United States. Is it easy to take this leave? Can you take it? It's up to you. Think about it, if the boss and sister-in-law still want to go, we will let Lao Dou decide in the end."
The boss Guang and Xianglan looked at each other after hearing this, and they both thought about taking this month's leave without saying anything. I still have no job when I come back, and I have no income this month. I can’t stand it. Then he said: "Xiao Rui is right, it's not suitable for us to go here. We won't go, Abba."
Kang Qirui then looked at Azu, and Azu spoke first. "Needless to say, it's hard for me to ask for leave. My old aunt has long disliked me. If I dare to ask for a month's leave, she'll probably fire me right away."
That's it. Only Sachiko was left. Sachiko had already thought about quitting her job at this time, so she had no pressure to take a month's leave and said directly: "I can take a leave, and we women are more suitable to take care of the elderly."
Kang Qirui said to Kang Ershou and Wang Yulian at this time: "Mother Dou, will you ask your third sister-in-law to accompany you?"
Both Kang Ershou and Wang Yulian said that everyone had no objections.
"Then it's decided. Old Dou's mother will ask Third Sister-in-law to take care of her. Also, Third Sister-in-law remember to buy gifts for everyone, hahaha." Kang Qirui helped Old Dou make up his mind.
Sachiko is also very good at being a good person, and continued: "You should take care of your parents, you are welcome. Don't worry, everyone will have a share of the gift."
Everyone has benefited, and They really couldn't go, so they all accepted the result and started discussing what gifts they wanted. Sachiko also agreed one by one.
