Have a holiday
Starting from the 3rd, students began to leave school one after another. By the 5th, those who were supposed to leave had already left, and the rest did not go home for the New Year.
There are different reasons for not going home for the New Year. The students told them so Chen Jin just believed what they said. Sometimes there is no need to ask too much. Everyone in this world has their own difficulties, and not everyone likes to talk about their sufferings.
Chen Jin approved the application form for them to stay on campus, and after signing, he left his contact information at the bottom. "Call me if there is an emergency. Be careful about safety when living on campus, and don't go to places with few people."
In the past, she would usually just remind her female classmates to be careful when going out and not to go to places with few people. Ever since she had dinner with Ling Yun's friends at Juchun Garden last time, one of the police officers mentioned that people are still being kidnapped to take their organs and sell them. Now she feels that it may not be safe for male classmates to go out alone.
She repeatedly emphasized to the students who were taking the train back that they were afraid there would be fewer people when they reported back next semester.
After these students took the application forms and left, and went to Vice Dean Sun's office to sign, Chen Jin remembered another thing. He found the list of poor students this semester and checked it with the students who would not go home for the New Year to see if there were any discrepancies.
The school has special funds to support particularly poor students, but more funding comes from donations from large outside companies. Among them, the Cheng Group firmly occupies the top spot on the Nanjing University donation list, and it sponsors hundreds of students every year, if not thousands.
After finishing the work at hand and seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Chen Jin hurriedly took his leave application and went to find Vice President Sun for his signature. The counselor will officially start her vacation on the 8th. She has asked for leave on the 7th, which means her winter vacation will begin from the day she gets off work today!
As usual, Vice President Sun just glanced at it, asked a few questions about her work situation, and then signed promptly.
However, this time, Vice President Sun talked about some more personal topics.
"Every year, our school labor union organizes social activities with other units. You and Zhou Ding, two young people, should participate in more social activities and get to know more people. It will not do any harm to you. You and Xiao Zhou are the only two single young people in the college. I will report your names later. This social activity will be held in our school auditorium, so it will be convenient for you to come. This is the process of the social activity. Take it back and show it to Xiao Zhou."
Chen Jin took the process sheet, glanced at it briefly, and then said, "You'd better cross my name out. I probably won't be single after the New Year, so it's not appropriate for me to attend social activities."
She didn't want to attend such an embarrassing event. How was it different from a large-scale blind date? The only difference is that ordinary blind dates are meeting one by one, while social activities are meeting a group of people at once. It can also be said that a group of men came to pick people...
When she thought of that scene, she wanted to shake her head.
Vice Dean Sun looked at her suspiciously, "Do you have someone you want to date?"
Chen Jin looked sincere and said casually, "Maybe. There is a long line of people in my village and the neighboring village who want to introduce me to someone. Maybe if they can introduce someone well, I won't be single anymore."
"Thank you for your concern for my personal problems, but I don't need your concern for the time being. I will go back and give it to Teacher Zhou and ask him to prepare for the social event after the New Year."
I would rather die than let my friend die. Let Zhou Ding go.
After Chen Jin finished speaking, he said goodbye to Vice President Sun and left quickly. Vice President Sun wanted to give them some advice but he could not and could only shake his head: young people nowadays probably don’t like this kind of social activities.
Zhou Ding looked at the process sheet in front of him, and then said, "But I have to go back to my hometown. I'm still on my way back to school on the sixth day of the New Year."
Chen Jin spread his hands and said, "Then you should go and tell Vice Dean Sun as soon as possible, otherwise he will report your name."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ding rushed to Vice Dean Sun's office like a gust of wind, and then came back with a satisfied look on his face, "I told you, there is no one suitable to go in our college this year, so there is no need to sign up."
"Vice Dean Sun seems to be very concerned about our personal situations. Does he care about these things when he talks to you?"
"No." Zhou Ding looked at her and said bluntly, "I think I just care about her."
Zhou Ding sighed inwardly. You see, rich people are coveted, and rich women are coveted even more. I don't know who is thinking of taking the opportunity to create opportunities for one of his relatives.
It's a pity that I met Chen Jin, who is so stubborn.
After Chen Jin understood it, he didn't say anything. It was time to get off work, so she packed up and went home.
She cooked her own meal at home in the evening. She made fried pork ribs according to the recipe given by Teacher He, and she thought it was quite good. The dinner was quite large, and she ate while watching TV. Before she knew it, she had finished it all.
I went out for a walk to digest my food and happened to meet Professor Kong, who teaches economics. When he saw her, he asked her if she had been reading any economics books recently and recommended two books to her.
The next day when he went to school, Chen Jin went to the library to borrow the books that Professor Kong mentioned. One of them was "China's Economic Development and Reform Exploration in the 1990s", published in 1992.
She brought it back to the office and was seen by Teacher Chang, who was very surprised and asked, "Are you planning to study economics as a graduate student?"
Chen Jin shook her head repeatedly. How could she dare to do that now? ! She has only just begun to get a handle on the threshold of this profession, and there is still much to learn. But it's interesting to continue learning.
She should be considered to be learning theoretical knowledge while practicing it now, right?
On the morning of the 6th, the college held a meeting, and the New Year gifts were distributed at this time: a bag of rice, a bucket of oil, and some snacks, such as White Rabbit milk candy, coconut candy, and plum candy.
Chen Jin's eyes lit up when she saw the White Rabbit Milk Candy. She almost forgot about her childhood favorite.
Teacher He next to her whispered to her, "In addition to rice oil, my husband's company also distributed Sun God Oral Liquid. I heard that my sister-in-law's company also distributed cream cakes, but those are all big companies, but here we only get rice oil and some sugar."
Chen Jin thought to himself: Whether it's oral liquid or ginseng wine, she doesn't like to drink them, it would be better to give her candy.
That’s right, there is quite a lot of rice and oil at home. She seldom cooks at home. The last time she went to the bank, President Huang gave her two portions of rice and oil. The school also distributed festival gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which also included rice and oil. Now it still distributes gifts during the Chinese New Year... Her family doesn't even need to go out to buy rice and oil. The ones they receive are more than enough.
However, the family also has to prepare New Year gifts. One has to send one to each of my three uncles and two aunts, and I also have to visit the village chief's home and Aunt Zhou's home. Then go buy some oral liquid and ginseng wine to give to others.
After the meeting, I will clean the office. This semester will be over. If you have nothing else to do in the afternoon, you don’t have to come. For Chen Jin, the winter vacation just came half a day earlier.
There were few people staying on campus during the winter vacation. After the 5th, the school only opened the first floor of the cafeteria to provide meals for the teachers and students who stayed on campus. She didn't think about staying in the school cafeteria for lunch. After saying hello to everyone, she went downstairs with a bag of rice in one hand and a bucket of oil in the other.
After waking up from a nap in the afternoon, I immediately turned off the alarm clock that reminded me to go to work in the afternoon, then pulled up the quilt and continued to sleep. When I woke up again, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon.
My friends are right, she is the reincarnation of the god of sleep.
But it feels so good to have a good sleep, and my mind is clearer than ever before.
I called my third aunt first to ask if they were at home. After confirming, I said I would go to their house for dinner in the evening. Then I found my suitcase and started packing my clothes.
After moving the suitcase to the trunk, he turned back to the house to pick up a big doll and put it in the back seat of the car.
As soon as she slammed the car door, she saw Shen Baichuan also coming out with a suitcase. She was not surprised to see her, “Teacher Chen is also going to move to Hanlin Garden?”
The word "也" is used well.
Chen Jin looked at him deeply, "Teacher Shen, are you not going back to Hong Kong or the old house?"
But she remembered that he said he would go back to Hong Kong to be with his mother during the New Year holidays, and occasionally stay at his grandfather's old house for a few days, but he seldom went to Hanlin Garden.
“There’s no rush to go back now. Living in Hanlin Garden is more convenient for work.” Shen Baichuan explained.
"Isn't your company in Dongcheng District?" Hanlinyuan is in Xicheng District. Do you want to listen to what lame excuses you are making? The distance from Hanlin Garden to Cheng Group Building is about two-thirds of the distance from the small western-style building to Qiaodong Village, which is not close.
Shen Baichuan remained calm and said with a smile: "The first phase of the Science and Technology Park is about to be completed. I need to apply for settlement. In addition to going to the Science and Technology Park, I also need to come out to talk to friends about work. It is more convenient to live in Hanlin Garden."
Chen Jin didn't understand either and just said "Oh". She glanced at the suitcase at his feet, then at the empty parking space in front of his courtyard, and finally at Shen Baichuan's eyes that seemed to contain thousands of words, and sighed in her heart: It's really difficult.
She now began to doubt her memory, because when she came back at noon, she clearly saw a car parked in front of his house!
Chen Jin looked back and saw no Shen Baichuan’s car after a row, and he didn’t know which corner of the community his car was parked in.
“Then, I’ll go get a taxi first?” Shen Baichuan said but didn’t move, as if he wanted to watch her leave first before he left.
Chen Jin chuckled in his heart, then said with a smile: "Okay, Teacher Shen, I'll leave first."
Sure enough, after seeing Shen Baichuan stunned, he pursed his lips silently, pretending!
"Since it's on our way, I'll give Teacher Shen a ride. Get in the car?"
Chen Jin was about to open the trunk, and Shen Baichuan walked quickly with the box, “I’ll do it.”
He opened the trunk, put the luggage in, and closed the trunk in one go. It took less than a minute for him to open the passenger door and get in. He then looked at Chen Jin across the car and smiled, "Teacher Chen, thank you for your help."
After Chen Jin got in the car and fastened his seat belt, Shen Baichuan explained again: “My cousin came over at noon and drove my car away.”
Chen Jin suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is Teacher Shen very busy this semester?"
"Kind of. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just didn't see Teacher Shen buy a new car this semester, and I found it strange." He must be so busy that he has no time to go back to his grandfather's old house.
Shen Baichuan felt that Chen Jin seemed to be snickering, and was happy to see that he didn't get a new car? Wasn't she quite interested in his cars before? When they saw a new car, they would quietly walk around it, occasionally looking around, touching it and then running away.
Every time she looked in the direction of his small living room, didn't she ever think that he might be in the study or in front of the bedroom window?
"Well, I've been busy lately and haven't had time to go look at cars." The garage is almost full, and there's been a whirlpool around the old house lately, and he doesn't want to get involved.
"Haha... I'm so happy that I'm on vacation. I can't help but laugh." Chen Jin couldn't help laughing all the way while driving. If she didn't say it, others would really think that she was so happy that she couldn't help laughing because she was on vacation.
At least Shen Baichuan really thought so. He originally thought that it didn't matter whether there was a winter vacation or not, but now there was a happy person sitting next to him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise again and again.
The car drove all the way back to Hanlin Garden and stopped downstairs of her house. It was a coincidence that Shen Baichuan's family lived in Building 1, her family lived in Building 2, and Zhang Leye's family lived in Building 3. They all lived in three separate buildings, so the chance of meeting each other was slim, but she did.
Zhang Leye was seen helping his old classmate and lover out of Building 3. She had half of her body leaning on the steering wheel just to see more clearly. She really should have put a telescope in the car so that she could hide in the car and watch the fun in the future.
Shen Baichuan followed her line of sight and saw a middle-aged couple walking out of Building 3. The man was supporting the woman, and the woman seemed to be pregnant? Although her belly is not prominent, it looks like she is pregnant.
"Someone you know?"
"Ex-uncle." Chen Jin answered without even turning his head, and then said with a sigh, "These people are really hardworking. People in their forties and almost fifty still want to have children."
"Who else?"
"Of course...a relative." Don't tell outsiders about family matters, it's not something glorious. By the way, my aunt is about to give birth, right?
Chen Jin counted on his fingers from May to now January, and it is indeed almost time for the baby to be born.
After watching Zhang Leye and his current wife walk away and there was nothing more to see, Chen Jin got out of the car to get his luggage. As soon as she took the doll down, Shen Baichuan had already helped take down her suitcase, “We’ll have dinner together some other time if we have a chance.”
"Okay, let's talk about it next time." Chen Jin waved his hand, then picked up his suitcase and walked away.
Chen Jin went home to pack up and drove to the rose garden. It was dinner time, and she, her third cousin, and Chen Yongan arrived home almost at the same time.
Chen Yongan also started his winter vacation today and brought all his luggage back with him. It was only because his third cousin drove to pick him up that he was able to bring so many things. Otherwise, if he had come back by himself, it would have been difficult for him just to drag the suitcase and carry the big quilt. He also brought his books back. Chen Jin really couldn't understand, could these professional textbooks be eaten by rats if they were placed in the dormitory?
"It really will happen." Chen Yongan said it very seriously, and he didn't look like he was lying.
Okay, the dormitories in their school are a bit scary.
"Third sister, you didn't know?" Chen Yongan took the luggage back to the room, and as soon as he came out, he smiled at her mysteriously.
Chen Jin really wanted to beat him with a feather duster. He was such a gossipy and impatient person that he couldn't stand it at all. "Hurry up and tell me!"
Chen Yongan decided to stop while he was ahead. He pushed Chen Jin, who was peeling corn, aside and said, "Chen Wenxing and his friends want to sell their house here and buy a house in Jinxiu District. They even went to find Aunt Zhou and wanted her to give them a discount, or even give it away for free. But, hey, they were kicked out by Aunt Zhou."
"Really? No, their family is not involved in prostitution, gambling or drugs. They spent the money too quickly! They sold both the car and the house."
"He's just drifting." My third aunt said a few words when she passed by. "Chen Wenxing was being targeted for pretending to be rich at work, and he's also a face-saver. All the businesses he did were coaxed into him by others. At the beginning, they gave him some sweet treats, but later he invested all his money and lost it all, and he even went into debt. He sold his car before because of the business. He was thinking about making a comeback, but he was cheated again, and now he has to sell his house. This guy is really like the God of Wealth stuffed money into his pocket, but he just threw it away like white paper. Does he think he can meet the God of Wealth every time?"
My third uncle also said, "Even if you meet the God of Wealth, who would care about leaking money all the time? It's useless for others to persuade him but he doesn't know what's good for him."
Chen Jin didn't ask who advised it. There was no need to ask, it must have been the village chief who suggested it.
My third aunt added, "If his family can live a more down-to-earth life, sell the house in Rose Garden, and buy a house in Jinxiu District, they can live a good life. It is definitely much better than their previous life of relying only on the salary from the company. Nowadays, many people don't have their own house..."
Chen Jin felt that this might be a bit difficult. It is easy for people to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. When you are addicted to good days, who would still care about ordinary days? Being unwilling is torturous enough, and maybe Chen Wenxing will try again. It depends on whether he can stop in time.
From this perspective, doing business is quite similar to gambling. People who have no brains and no ability should stay away from it. It is not a good idea to always think about making a lot of money.
"Oh, my spare ribs." My third aunt hurried back to the kitchen and started preparing dinner with my third uncle.
They also hired people for their supermarket. Otherwise, they would have to stay in the store every day and have no time to enjoy their lives, which would not be acceptable.
Chen Yongan continued to count down what he knew, "There are also Chen Yue and Aunt Ke Xin. When my third brother and I came back, we saw them at the gate of the community. Chen Yue said that she would treat us to a meal when she is free in a few days. Third sister, you don't know, right? Hehe...ah! Don't pinch me, I said!"
Chen Yongan rubbed his arm and said quickly, "Chen Wensong actually wants to divorce again, saying that his current wife cheated on him."
Chen Jin's eyes widened, "Could it be that the child his wife gave birth to is not his?"
This stimulation? Is this considered a honey trap? I guess so...
"That's not the case." Chen Yongan felt that his third sister's thoughts were more outrageous, and hurriedly said, "Before the divorce, his wife told him that the test results showed that the fetus was a boy, otherwise Chen Wensong would not agree to divorce so quickly? Now his wife has been exposed, saying that she was diagnosed with a daughter and bribed the doctor to deceive Chen Wensong. Now Chen Wensong is making a fuss about divorce..."
"Can he get a divorce if he wants? I don't think his wife is a pushover. Even a fool wouldn't plan to marry Chen Wensong so quickly. It's been more than half a year since she gave birth to their daughter, and she never mentioned divorce before." It can be seen that she can still control Chen Wensong.
"He just said that his wife was pregnant again, and that this time the checkup was definitely a boy. I think the old branch secretary has become a little reassured. If Chen Wensong really has a son, the old branch secretary might change his mind in the future, and he will probably give a lot of his money to Chen Wensong."
As he spoke, Chen Yongan sighed, "Uncle Wen Shi is really calm. He's not worried at all that the old branch secretary will give all his property to Chen Wensong, right?"
At this time, the third cousin who had taken a shower as soon as he came back came out with a big red towel on his head. He wiped his hair and said, "A good son doesn't look down on his parents for their land. He earns his own money and has a strong backbone."
Chen Yongan pouted, he knew his brother was pointing a finger at him, but he didn't want to achieve much, he just wanted to open a small shop at home. Anyway, he was not interested in luxury cars, new clothes or anything like that, he would wear them if he had them, if he didn't have them he would wear something less expensive. His game console was not particularly expensive, he could still buy it if he saved up some money.
He can live very well on one hundred yuan a month, so there is no need to force himself to earn ten thousand yuan a month.
Not wanting to listen to his third brother's lecture, Chen Yongan took out the game console and said, "Third sister, come and play games."
Chen Jin waved the corn cob in his hand, "I want to hit you. Come over here and shell the corn!"
"Oh." Chen Yongan snorted twice, but still moved over to peel corn. He remembered that he had some unfinished gossip, so he continued, "Chen Wenzhen was beaten by his ex-girlfriend's brothers, who wanted to ask for an explanation. They found the village chief, who called the police and arrested him."
Chen Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "The village chief is the village chief and he does things clearly." Just arrest the people and let them argue among themselves.
The third cousin swung the towel at Chen Yongan with amusement, "Did you go to the neighborhood committee university? You are the only one who knows more."
Chen Yongan raised his head proudly and said, "I go home every week during the holidays, so it's not like I don't know anything about it."
Look how proud he is... Chen Jin asked: "Why are all these things happening in the village? Isn't there anything new happening in your school? In your dormitories and classes, are all of you studying hard and not causing trouble?"
"School is just that, nothing interesting. Our dormitory is having a social gathering with a girl's dormitory from another major, it's boring."
The third cousin gave him a meaningful look and said, "Your classmates saw me driving to pick you up today, so you won't be bored next semester. Okay, take one side and peel it off yourself, we have something to talk about."
The third cousin handed him the basin directly, and after driving everyone to the restaurant, he talked to Chen Jin about the arrangements of Sifang Travel Agency for next year, and then said: "Let's do it on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. The people of the travel agency will have a meal together. You can also show up at that time, and this year's dividends will also be distributed."
She didn't care about anything else, "How many?"
"Just over 100,000, about the same as expected." The third cousin said with emotion: "I didn't expect that tourism could make so much money."
They not only make money from tourists, but also from hotels and restaurants near the scenic spots. Now they have gradually established cooperation with them and are making a lot of money from it.
Chen Jin breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to have money coming in. "Will it be changed to a quarterly distribution in the future?"
"Well, I've talked to them both about this. What's the matter? Are you short of money? Do you want to get involved in uncle's new project?"
Chen Jin chuckled, "I'm also planning to buy a piece of land myself."
"Wow! You are such a big spender. You must have spent all your money, right?"
"Almost. I will slowly save money to build the building from the rent and the dividends from the travel agency."
"Just tell me if you need money. I have saved over 200,000 yuan since the New Year. I won't charge you interest."
Chen Jin glanced at him sideways, "What do you mean by mentioning the last sentence? Do you think I would be embarrassed and then charge you interest?"
"Yeah, I thought you weren't that shameless." The third cousin laughed.
Then he said seriously: "If you need money, just ask."
"Got it. I won't be polite with you." Chen Jin pulled out the pillow behind him and hugged it, then leaned back, staring at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, feeling at peace.
