Chapter 102 Xianglan’s “Uncle”
“Have you found it?”
Kang Qirui saw that Tianxiu hadn’t come home for so long and shouted. Tianxiu hurriedly put things in the kitchen After placing it, I ran back to the patio and said to Kang Qirui: "I didn't find it. I don't know where I put it."
"It's okay. When I go to buy fertilizer tomorrow, I will buy a pair of scissors." Kang Qirui said, "Let's go. It seems that Third Uncle's guests have arrived. Let's go out." When he heard the sound of the door opening outside, he knew that Ayao had returned with his guests.
"This is Mr. Chang from Wanwan." Ayao introduced the guest to everyone. "I'm being polite." Mr. Chang saluted everyone, and everyone returned the salute.
"These two are my parents and family members." Then Ayao introduced the Kang family to Mr. Chang, "Welcome." Lao Dou said with a smile to Mr. Chang.
"Mr. Kang." Mr. Chang said, and the brothers all responded, "I'm talking about this Mr. Kang." Mr. Chang pointed at Ayao and said, "That's really great. Warm, so hospitable.”
Ayao smiled and said, “Mr. Chang, you can just call me Ayao in our house. If you call me Mr. Kang, many people will respond to you hahaha.” Mr. Chang also laughed, and he introduced everyone to his goddaughter, Miss Zeng Ruoting, the general manager of his company. Azu couldn't move his eyes when he saw the beautiful woman.
"Ayao, the food is ready. Let's invite the guests in for dinner." After receiving the gift from Zeng Ruoting, mother asked Ayao to invite the guests in for dinner and chat while eating.
After everyone sat down in the dining room, Lao Dou said politely: "It's a commonplace meal, but I didn't greet you well. Please, don't be polite." Mr. Chang looked at the table full of southern Henan dishes and sighed: " This time I came back to look for my relatives, but I didn't get any results. I'm not in a good mood and have lost my appetite. Tonight, I have such a sumptuous hometown-style dish, accompanied by Miss Xianglan, my fellow countryman, and all of you, even though we are from Guangfu. People, I feel very friendly when I see you. I am very happy and want to eat.”
It seems that A Yao's information is correct. Mr. Chang really likes the lively and warm family atmosphere. Mr. Chang took a bite of the dish and said in surprise: "Authentic!" He picked up the bowl and drank the porridge by turning it with his wrist. When A Yao saw it, he motioned for everyone to drink porridge in the same posture. Mr. Chang was even more surprised, "What? Do you know how to do this?"
"It's fun to drink like this." A Yao said.
"Old man Chang, let me tell you, we often eat porridge like this. We all learned it from my sister-in-law." In order to help Ayao, the second brother has been catering to Mr. Chang.
"Miss Zeng, please." Azu, who had been staring at the beautiful woman all night, saw that she hadn't moved her chopsticks and thought she was embarrassed. In fact, people have a kind of resistance to the Kang family, thinking that the Kang family is just playing tricks to deceive them.
Mr. Chang continued to drink the porridge. Tianxiu accidentally touched the angelica that fell in and ate it. His eyes suddenly widened, "This is the taste, Miss Xianglan, how do you make this kind of porridge?" Don’t you have to put angelica?”
"Danggui? I don't think I let it go?" Xianglan was confused by the question. She didn't let it go.
"Yes, sister-in-law, you forgot." The second brother said, "Old man Chang, let me tell you, our sister-in-law often adds angelica to this porridge. She said to add the flavor of angelica." It's thick."
Mr. Chang nodded in agreement and recalled: "When I left my hometown, my mother cooked this kind of porridge to see me off." Then he asked Xianglan. She said: "Miss Xianglan, what's your father's name?"
"My father" When Xianglan was about to answer, Mr. Chang interrupted again, "It's not a big name, it's a nickname. "
"I heard from my mother that my father's nickname is Gou Wa." Xianglan was a little embarrassed to mention her father's nickname. Everyone laughed, but Mr. Chang's whole expression changed. He asked anxiously: "Does he have two brothers? One was sold to others when he was born, and the other went to serve as a soldier. Wanwan?”
Xianglan nodded, as if this was indeed the case. Mr. Chang stood up excitedly when he saw Xianglan nodding, "Oh, I am just a leftover, and you are my eldest niece."
"Huh?" Is it such a coincidence? Kang Qirui shook his head. Knowing the truth, how could he have the heart to tell him that Xianglan was not his relative when he saw such an excited Mr. Chang?
The excited Mr. Chang didn't even eat dinner. He took Xianglan and wanted to go back to the hotel. This time when he came back to find relatives, he brought many items that he left home with, and they were all in the hotel room. What if When Xianglan goes to see something that she can recognize as her own, it must be her niece. Seeing that Mr. Chang insisted on taking Xianglan to the hotel, Ayao followed him. After all, this was the guest he brought back.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Xianglan and Ayao were not back. The second sister-in-law said anxiously: "Sister-in-law and Ayao have been away for a long time. Why haven't they come back yet? Will something happen?" "Of course, that is Xianglan's uncle. He must have a lot to say. ." Mom said understandingly.
"Grandma, come to think of it, it's so dramatic. It's like putting on a show. Xianglan cooked a meal of southern Henan cuisine, and for no reason, she got an uncle. He's also a very rich man in Wanwan." said the second sister-in-law. I'm a little envious.
"Second sister-in-law, there is something even more dramatic." Azu said excitedly: "I almost rode in the same car (ju) with that Miss Zeng this morning."
"What? Living together? "Everyone thought it was that living together. "It's the same car." Azu said with a smile, "I didn't expect that we would have dinner together in the evening. Do you think drama is not drama?"
Kang Qirui shook his head and smiled bitterly. This Azu is really a king. It's hard to change your nature, and even though you have Diana, you still want to pick up other women. There was indeed a reason why it took so long for him and Diana to get married. "Please be more reserved, okay? A real man, I've been looking at you all night, and you've been looking at me all night." The second guy pointed at Azu and scolded him.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" The second sister-in-law thought that the second brother had been watching Miss Zeng all night.
"I saw him watching her all night." The second guy explained helplessly. "That's right, I've been watching you all night too." Yumi glared at Azu in disgust and gritted her teeth.
“What are you looking at me for?” Azu was speechless. Sachiko looked at Azu and Yumi with a meaningful look. She knew that these two were impossible, and she could only shake her head and smile bitterly about Yumi's crush on Azu.
While they were talking, Xianglan and Ayao came back. Everyone looked at Xianglan, wanting to know what the final result would be. "Is that old man Chang your uncle?" Lao Dou asked directly.
"I'm not sure about this. The things he took out, some of them I do remember having the same ones at home when I was a child, but those are very common things over there, almost every household has them." Xianglan said uncertainly. What Mr. Chang came up with was too common and could not prove anything at all. For example, the red plastic stool "Provincial Stool" in Guangdong Province is something almost every household has. Does it prove that we are related if you have it and I have it? Obviously not.
"But I heard my father say that he has a younger brother named Gou Sheng, and another younger brother was sold to others throughout his life." Xianglan continued to talk about the situation at home. "That's it. I think 99% of the time it's true." The second guy said with certainty, "A Yao, come and give me a high five. This investment should be fine. Haha." A Yao also high-fived the second guy excitedly. A palm,
"Sister-in-law, it would be better if you write a letter back to the countryside immediately and ask about this matter." After thinking about it, Lao Dou ordered Xianglan. Why not call? Because at this time, in many rural areas, only the village committee had a public telephone, and there were no private telephones at all. Contacts depended on writing letters and sending telegrams. Xianglan nodded, she also wanted to figure this out.
The next day, cousin Bing came to Kang's house early in the morning to invite everyone to have morning tea. The matter was still the same as yesterday, "Azong, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, I want to borrow your hardware store to make some For business, I will provide the goods. After I make money, I will add two to five, okay?”
Before the two guys spoke, Kang Qirui took the lead and asked, “Cousin, what kind of big business is this?” ? It’s worth inviting our whole family to tea.”
“That’s right, cousin, we must be included in the big business.” Sachiko wanted to do it when he saw the business.
“What kind of goods does he have?” The second guy said disdainfully, “You don’t want to get some snails from the countryside to fry in my hardware store, do you?”
"What are you talking about fried snails?" Cousin Bing was left speechless by the second brother, "Mooncakes, beautiful mooncakes, the ones I gave you last night." When Xingzi heard that it was a mooncake business, he pretended not to know anything. , buried in eating.
The second brother still shook his head, "Those mooncakes are good, but I am a hardware store. Is selling mooncakes reasonable?"
"So you will never be able to make money in your life." Cousin General Bingji said, "How can there be so many rules in doing business? Just sell whatever is easy to sell, so what if the hardware store sells mooncakes? I have seen decoration stores selling salted fish."
"Whatever. You." The second guy thinks it makes sense, as long as he can make money.
