Chapter 108 Cousin Aunt
“Not fat or thin, not tall or short, maybe with a local accent, don’t get it wrong.”
Early in the morning that day, Old Mother Dou The son told the second brother to pick up his cousin who came back from the United States, but the second brother didn't listen carefully. He kept talking on the phone. Last night, Kang Qirui went to his room to talk about the tea restaurant. He was also very interested. In order to become a shareholder, he took the initiative to recruit chefs, so he kept calling friends.
"Okay, okay, I understand." The second brother said something and took the second sister-in-law out. He had a lot to do today.
Kang Qirui is writing the preliminary preparation list for the tea restaurant. He is used to listing everything and sorting it by priority. Only after all the matters have been confirmed and completed can the opening process be entered. The most important thing right now is to find a store first, write a menu second, and find a chef third.
Sister Jiao is his appointed chef, but Sister Jiao can only make butterfly head rice and fried noodles. Other snacks, milk tea, bread, etc. need to be recruited separately. These are the difficulties and key points of recruitment, which are related to the overall quality of the tea restaurant and must not be careless. Kang Qirui plans to go to Hong Kong City with his boss Guang Erlao Xianglan and the others in a few days to check out the market. He got everyone's information last night and will apply for a tourist visa in the afternoon.
When he finished writing the list, sorted it, and went to apply for a tourist visa and go home, he happened to meet the second brother and second sister-in-law returning home with an old lady, "Old Dou, I have completed the task. Leave it to you." The second guy pulled the old lady and said.
"Hey, hey, who did you bring back?" Old Dou obviously didn't recognize the grandma that the second brother brought back. Kang Qirui also saw a graceful and well-dressed lady sitting in the living room. woman.
"Xianggu." The second brother said confidently, "Xianggu who came back from the United States."
When Old Dou heard this, he was completely speechless and pointed at the second brother's airway. : "It's Aunt Fen from America, she came here on her own." It turns out that the graceful and well-dressed woman is Lao Dou's cousin Aunt Fen. The second guy who picked up the wrong person quickly asked the grandma he picked up and found out that she was selling mushrooms.
"Cousin, I'm sorry." The second brother who figured out the situation quickly apologized to Aunt Fen, and then was scolded by Lao Dou again, "What cousin? Cousin aunt!"
The second brother looked at it Looking at Aunt Fen and then at Lao Dou, he leaned over and said in Lao Dou's ear: "She doesn't look like your cousin at all, Lao Dou, she looks more like my cousin."
"Grandma, didn't you say that my cousin is sixty-eight years old? Why does she look like she is only forty?" The second sister-in-law also said in my mother's ear. This old Dou's cousin is really too young. He looks much younger than Lao Dou.
My mother smiled and said, "My cousin is so young."
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, the two men sent the wrong Xianggu back. In the evening, after all the Kang family members came back, Lao Dou introduced them to Fen Gu one by one, and there was another round of greetings and greetings.
"I was so busy talking that I forgot to give you gifts." Fen Gu pulled a suitcase and opened it. When they heard that there were gifts to be received, everyone sat on the sofa and looked forward to it. Fen Gu took out a watch box first, handed it to Lao Dou and said, "Ah Shou, this is for you." Lao Dou accepted it happily after being polite. Then I gave a box of bird's nests to my mother, a shaver to the big brother Guang, a belt to the second brother, a camera to A Yao, a DV camera to A Zu, and Kang Qi. Rui gave a pen and Tianxiu a pair of sneakers.
So people must have some hobbies, otherwise others won’t know how to give gifts. For example, Ayao likes to take photos, Azu likes photography, Kang Qirui likes to write, and the gifts Fengu gave them are very expensive. Cameras cost several thousand yuan, and brand-name pens are also expensive. For a guy like me who has no hobbies, he can only give away men's products that are not very valuable, such as shavers.
"Don't call me cousin, call me old man." When everyone received the gifts, they all expressed their gratitude to cousin. Aunt Fen smiled and said to everyone: "You all call me Lara." That’s it.”
“Lao Lai?” Everyone didn’t hear clearly. Fengu explained: "It's not Lao Lai, it's Lara. The Chinese word means labor, and the one who plays the piano is Lara."
"Oh, Laura." Everyone finally understood. "It's not popular in the United States to call people aunt and uncle, so they either call them by their English names, or uncle or aunt."
The second sister-in-law, who had not received the gift, had time to interject and said: "Laura, Thank you for sending gifts to my husband and son, I won’t need them, hahaha.” Sachiko and Yumi also nodded beside them.
"I still have something for you ladies, but it will be tomorrow. Do you have time?" When Laura said there were gifts for them, they all nodded to show that they had time.
Kang Qirui went out early the next day and went back to school. He and his second brother made an appointment to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register the company at three o'clock in the afternoon. They had already agreed to open a tea restaurant this time. The investment is 600,000, with KS Investment Company investing 350,000 for 50% of the shares, Kang Qirui personally investing 150,000 for 20% of the shares, Erlao investing 70,000 for 10%, and Daguang investing 30,000 for 10%. Another 10% is held by Zhiyang Enterprise Management Partnership.
"Hey, why is no one at home?" After Kang Qirui and the second brother finished doing things, the second brother went back to the hardware store, and Kang Qirui went home directly. When he walked in, there was no one. Even Sister Jiao didn't see it. He picked up the phone and called Zhu Wanling. After asking, he found out that all the women in the family had been dragged to the beauty salon by Laura. At first, the second sister-in-law and others were reluctant to go, but they only agreed to go after Sachiko and Zhu Wanling persuaded them. As for Lao Dou, he went to sing Cantonese opera with Uncle Liang, while the others went to work and went to school and had not yet returned.
Kang Qirui found it interesting when he put down the phone. He hadn't been alone at home for a long time. There are more than ten people in the Kang family, and it is really difficult to keep everyone away from home. But before he could recall the feeling of being alone at home, Master Zhu walked in and said, "Arui, where is your old mother Dou?"
"Mom." Kang Qirui quickly asked Master Zhu After sitting down and pouring a cup of tea for her, he said: "My American cousin is back. My mother went shopping with her. Old Dou is at Uncle Liang's. Do you have anything to do with them?"
"Oh, that's it. Then I'll come over in the evening. I'll go to another house first. I'm leaving." Master Zhu stood up without drinking the milk tea and said that he was going to another house. He didn't know what happened to her. What's going on?
Kang Qirui shook his head and went back to his room to do his own business. Zhu Wanling and the others didn't come back until after six o'clock. As soon as they came back, they went to cook. Although it was already very late, there were so many people. With the help of a few people, Sister Jiao finished the meal in less than an hour. , during the meal, Kang Qirui told Master Zhu that she was looking for Lao Dou’s mother. Lao Dou and the others were also confused and didn’t know what the specific matter was.
