"Dad, Mom, I found a job for you."
Zeng Xiaoqi came out of the next room, looked at her father who was smoking and said this, then sat next to Qi Siming, picked up the delicious dishes on the table with chopsticks and started eating.
Just now, she originally wanted to overturn the dining table, but thinking that it was the result of Qi Siming's busy day, she refused and threw a bowl instead.
Qi Siming had cleaned up the crumbs in the bowl, and Zeng's mother sat aside and sighed.
Originally, I was very happy this year. My daughter brought back a tall and handsome boyfriend, who also works at Yanjing Hotel. He is the only one in the village.
After two days of being happy, a group of people gathered around me like flies, planning to ask Qiqi’s boyfriend to help arrange work.
If we just met and started working without even saying a few words, wouldn’t it be too disrespectful to treat yourself as an outsider?
Great-father put the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray and asked curiously:
"What job?"
"For a job in Beijing, the salary in a ginkgo ecological park should be much better than at home."
In order to prevent her parents from leaving under the pretense of saying it was hard to leave their homeland, she lied again:
"I bought a house in Beijing without telling you, and I have to pay back more than 10,000 yuan in monthly mortgage payments. If you go and make money, you can relieve me a little bit of pressure..."
If it is for the sake of their parents, the old couple may not be willing to leave.
But if you want to ask your parents to help if you are under a lot of mortgage loan pressure, then there is no need to say anything. Your parents will definitely agree without saying a word.
Sure enough, when he heard that he had bought a house, his great-father looked a little surprised, and then he looked at his mother.
The couple looked at each other, and Zeng's mother got up and went to the bedroom. Not long after, she handed over a deposit:
"Why don't you discuss such a big thing like buying a house with us? There are 270,000 here. The password is the last six digits of your ID card. Take it. Don't let the mortgage be overdue. You leave on the fifth day of the new year, right? Let's buy it again.
With two tickets for the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, your father and I will go too. No matter what the job is, as long as we can make money, we will not come back."
Great-father nodded, and then smiled dryly at Qi Siming:
"Xiao Qi, I'm sorry, I made you laugh... I, let me try your craft, I was greedy for a long time when you made it."
Without outsiders, it is easier for the family to talk.
Qi Siming served soup to the two old people, and while he was busy, he recounted what happened to his father.
He said:
"If he is really capable, I can send him to Diaoyutai Yanjing Hotel or Linji Food, but if he wants to live his life, I really can't agree. My family has already suffered a lot, and my father almost went to jail.
I really don’t dare to follow this kind of nepotism anymore.”
My great-father never thought that nepotism would have such consequences.
Fortunately, I didn't agree. If I had just agreed, it would have been the old couple's turn to be unable to sleep again.
Another reason why Qi Siming didn't agree is that during the few days he stayed at Zeng's house, he didn't feel that Xiao Wu had any respect for Zeng Xiaoqi's parents.
Every day I come here to either eat or drink, or to ask for something, and take it if it’s not given to me. I even wanted to rummage through Zeng Xiaoqi’s bag, but I was stopped.
It was here that Qi Siming went to his girlfriend's house for the first time and it was not the right time to do anything.
In the capital, this rebellious young man who had dyed his hair and wore skull earrings two months ago would have already picked up a chair and smashed it over.
Damn it, can you touch my girlfriend’s bag?
Zeng Xiaoqi looked at the table full of dishes and said:
"In the past, we always joked that the leftovers from the New Year's Eve dinner would be eaten until the third day of the Lunar New Year. I guess this table will not be finished until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
On the other side, Shen Jiayue, who was eating, whispered to Lin Xu:
"Xubao, Yanbao just sent a message saying that she wants Sister Xiaoqi's parents to work in the Ginkgo Garden. If you can't arrange it, she will arrange other jobs."
The Ginkgo Garden is a good choice. It’s not busy and you don’t need to be dropped off.
It just so happens that I can keep company with Mr. and Mrs. Shang Weixing, so that I won't be bored and lonely, with no one to talk to.
In fact, if you don’t go to the Ginkgo Garden, you can arrange it elsewhere, such as working as a cleaner at Happy Media, but you will have to be with Zeng Xiaoqi all day long.
The great director's parents work as cleaners in the company, which is not nice to say and is not convenient for the company's management.
So relatively speaking, Ginkgo Garden is more suitable.
Zeng Xiaoqi can go there by bus when she's not busy, and her family can see each other at any time, which is much better than most migrant workers working in the capital.
Lin Xu asked curiously:
"What's going on? Are Sister Xiaoqi's parents coming to the capital to work?"
Shen Jiayue briefly explained the matter.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xu agreed:
"Okay, no problem. I happen to be responsible for the care of several small animals. Anyway, the veterinarian only needs to go for regular physical examinations and feed them regularly and quantitatively. It's not difficult."
Just as he was talking, Chen Meijuan and her eldest aunt and second aunt came in carrying cooked dumplings.
"The dumplings have been washed with hot water and they are not sticky. You can eat them. If they are not enough, cook some more. Anyway, I packed them in a freezer and they will definitely be enough to eat."
In fact, we can’t finish the food on the table, but we still have to eat the dumplings.
Lin Xu poured some persimmon vinegar into the plate in front of him, and poured two spoons of chili oil on it. As soon as it was mixed, Shen Jiayue picked up a dumpling and dipped it in it politely:
“Wow, it’s so sour and spicy!”
Lin Xu ate a dumpling stuffed with fennel, and then a piece of hot and sour Guangdu, and then took a sip of the juice on the table. It was really satisfying.
While eating, my cousin Lin Bin pointed out the window and said:
"Hey, it's snowing outside!"
Shen Guofu turned his face and looked:
"Hey, the fireworks will be more beautiful later. Eat more to avoid getting cold while watching the fireworks."
Shen Jiayue said with a smile:
"I'll have to film it later to make Yan Bao angry. She wants to set off a firecracker, but it's not allowed in the urban area of Beijing. Under such circumstances, it's really unreasonable not to make her angry."
If Chen Yan were here, she would definitely quarrel with this girl.
Not long after, night fell. Dundun, who had eaten and drank enough, jumped onto the windowsill and quietly looked at the falling snowflakes outside.

When the ground turned a little white, it jumped down from the window sill, came to the door, squeezed out through the gap in the cotton curtain, and went to play in the snow on the snow outside.
The little guy first went to the fish pond to have a look, then jumped on a raised stone slab in the yard, raised his head and stuck out his tongue, trying to lick the falling snowflakes.
But every time he licked it, the snowflakes suddenly melted away, making him a little annoyed.
In the room, Shen Guofu and others who were drinking drank the white wine in their glasses and did not continue drinking. Instead, they started eating vegetables and dumplings.
Even though it's New Year's Eve, you can't drink too much.
And we have to watch the fireworks later. What should we do if we stumble?
Shen Jiayue looked at her father with a scrutinizing gaze:
"It's not in line with your character to stop drinking so soon... Do you plan to drink after watching the fireworks? Great, I'll have some more later."
Since grandma said that we should fill the poverty hole, I naturally had to overfulfill the task.
Well, this is not greedy, but contributing to the family.
Lin Hongjun said:
"If you want to drink it later, you can wait. Anyway, these dishes are ready-made."
Although the hot dishes won’t be eaten later, braised dishes and cold dishes are both fine.
Even if you want to eat hot food, it's easy. Just heat it up a little. If it doesn't work, just ask your eldest nephew to cook two more dishes. With the chef here, you don't have to worry about the food and wine.
After everyone finished eating and drinking, they chatted around the charcoal stove for a while.
And Shen Jiayue put on a furry hat, like a reincarnated fox fairy, and went out to have a snowball fight with Dundun in the snow.
But this kind of game is quite boring.
Because no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hit Dundun with a snowball. Instead, he slipped on the snow and fell solidly.
"Stinky Dundun, can't you let mommy go?"
Upon hearing this, Dundun calmed down, pretended to be unsteady and slipped, and then was hit firmly on the head by a small snowball.
When everyone is almost digested, start setting off fireworks.
Everyone put on thick clothes, hats, gloves, and even snow boots to maintain body temperature as much as possible.
When they arrived at the reservoir, the three old people sat in a snack restaurant next to the water park. They looked out through the glass and saw that the air conditioner had been turned on for heating, so it was not cold.
The young people are outside, so they have a better view and the effect of the fireworks is more prominent.
Soon, a cluster of fireworks shot straight into the sky, and then exploded suddenly. The fragments exploded again, and the entire sky was filled with colorful fireworks.
