Who is drunk
This year's annual meeting lasted longer than last year, and not because there were more people. But it’s because everyone is particularly good at making noise this year.
The boss lady's freshly baked food is a little different. By next year when it's no longer new, they won't make a fuss anymore.
When Shen Baichuan showed off, Nie Rong, who came to join in the fun, said, "Teacher Shen is so cocky."
Where are we now? She can be even more arrogant than Shen Baichuan.
Shen Baichuan showed off for a while, but when he found out that his uncle and his friends had also arrived, he restrained himself again.
Just after the annual meeting ended, my uncle called me to go see a real estate project under construction in Dongcheng District.
"You're so free? My uncle said Lawyer Mo is so busy that he can't find him anymore."
His uncle said that he was going to retire, and before retiring, he wanted to distribute the things under his name in advance to avoid any trouble later.
"I'm busy too. I happened to be here to do some work nearby, so I came to join in the fun." Nie Rong said, taking out the sorted documents and putting them on her desk. "I've set a time. Call me when the time comes."
After Shen Baichuan and Chen Jin got married, they had to divide their property, and each of them took care of their own things. However, he looked at the things that Shen Baichuan listed, except for the company, everything else was planned to be transferred to Chen Jin's name... Tsk tsk! Boss Shen is very generous.
But he saw that Chen Jin didn't even think of taking it...Sister Jin is honest and returns the lost money!
"It's good to separate them. You both can earn money anyway, and what you earn is enough for you to spend."
Don’t worry about whether your relationship is good now, you can’t be sure about the future.
Chen Jin smiled and replied casually, "That's right."
Nie Rong stood at the door and looked outside. The door of the cafeteria next to the office building was open, and the line of people waiting to get New Year's goods was lined up outside.
Chen Jin also heard the noise outside, so he put down what he was doing and got up to go out.
"Jin Jie, is your company going to expand again? There's no big space here to hold meetings for your thousands of employees."
"Where can we get so much land for expansion? All the factories around have been bought, and it's long been out of stock." Chen Jin said, "We can't expand, but we can still squeeze out a place to build a building by demolishing some parts and moving some things around."
This brings up the piece of land that Chen Jin owns near the East Railway Station. That means you want to open a hotel. In the future you don't necessarily have to hold meetings in the company. If your company has a hotel, you can open it there.
"Oh, by the way, Qiaoxi Village will be choosing a house after the New Year." Nie Rong said, "Our law firm has recently received a lot of property dispute cases, most of which are from Qiaoxi Village."
I remember that he had opened a consulting point in Qiaoxi Village. Now it seems that the consulting point was not opened in vain. Now when people encounter problems, they know to come to their Bisheng Law Firm. This can also be considered as advertising.
He just didn't expect that the situation is now even worse than before the demolition. He also reminded his colleagues in the law firm to pay attention to safety. In Qiaoxi Village, there have been deaths due to demolition, and even family members and neighbors can be ruthless... We have to be on guard!
"You should pay attention too."
"I guessed it a long time ago. I think they will make a lot of trouble in the future. I will only go on the day of house selection, and I will definitely not join them in the fun later."
She has a lot of things to do.
She and Shen Baichuan's company held their annual general meeting, distributed bonuses and New Year's goods, and then they did the same activity every year - going to the old market in Dongcheng District with her third aunt and others to buy New Year's goods.
The activities remain the same year after year, but other things do change.
This year her family and his family became one, so they just put up a pair of couplets in the front yard of the small Western-style building, which saved trouble.
"Let's find someone after the New Year to look at how to modify the house. The front yard must be remodeled... From now on, our house will be unique in the community, and no other house will be as spacious as ours!" Chen Jin said proudly.
The backyard also needs to be modified. It will be more spacious so that the big orange cat can run around, which is a good opportunity for it to lose weight.
As for Zhuo Jiyu's question about whether he could sell one set to them, that's definitely not possible!
Shen Baichuan rejected it directly and said, "The house is not spacious. When we have children in the future, it won't be big enough to live in."
Not to mention that we don’t have children yet, if their books were put together, they would take up enough space in two study rooms. Once the two rooms are connected, there will be no more rooms on the second floor.
Anyway, I can’t give a house to Zhuo Jiyu and his family.
Zhuo Jiyu said he was daydreaming, "It's still too early to have a baby, why are you thinking so far ahead?"
Shen Baichuan chuckled and replied slowly: “You think it’s too early to have a baby because you can’t.”
Chen Jin turned to look at him in shock, and leaned over to listen to what Zhuo Jiyu had to say, but all he heard was a busy tone.
"You and Zhuo Jiyu have a really strong friendship."
That's it, and they always come out to party when they're called.
But it doesn't seem very strange, she and Ling Yun are almost the same.
After cleaning up here, I will go to give New Year gifts to the teachers who are close to us as usual.
Fortunately, no one asked them about their marriage this year.
Everyone in the community knows that Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan have obtained their marriage certificate, right? !
Even the people in the faculty and staff family compound knew about it, and Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan even went to give wedding candies to Teacher He and Teacher Chang.
Although they didn't go out to eat this year, Liu Chengzhi's family still came over to have dinner together.
In mid-October, Chen Ting gave birth to a son, who is now just three months old.
But after she gave birth to a child, Liu Chengzhi's parents did not say that they would come to the city to live with them. They were still thinking about the fields in their hometown and thought about working there for a few more years and waiting until their youngest son graduated from college before they would talk about it later.
Even if they moved in, they probably wouldn't be able to live together and would end up living separately.
But for now, it's pretty good. Things smell good from a distance but stink up close; it’s right not to put them together.
They are celebrating the New Year at their second uncle's house this year. They have been celebrating the New Year at their eldest uncle's or third uncle's house for so many years, so this year it must be his turn to take charge.
"Don't laugh so much. We'll take turns next time. Next year we'll go to your aunt's house for the New Year, and the year after that we'll go to your house. I'll let you and Baichuan know in advance so you can prepare well."
Chen Jin was still smiling and readily agreed, "Okay. We can put both buildings together and accommodate everyone."
"Third sister, are you going to demolish your little western-style building and rebuild it? Second cousin came out of the kitchen holding two pieces of fried cakes, stuffing one into his mouth and the other into He He's hand.
"I don't know yet. It depends on what the designer says. It would be great if we just demolish the wall."
Chen Yongan jumped out from behind and said happily: "I will go to play with my third sister in the future."
"Do you want to play with me, or do you want to find a game console to play with?"
"Hehe, the third sister and the third brother-in-law are one family, they are all the same."
"Play, play, play! All you know is playing games. Think about it, will there be any gaming company that wants you after you graduate?" Third aunt glared at him.
"There's no rush for work. Don't be angry with the children during the New Year." The eldest aunt smiled and took the third aunt aside.
Chen Yongan spread his hands and said, "It's not that I don't want to look for one. The county where I did my internship last semester wanted to hire me as a technical instructor."
"A county unit? Sure, I think you can give it a try."
"It's the owner of the pig farm under the county who wants to hire me, not the county unit, Sister Jia Jia... If I had your and Third Sister's brains, I would continue to study."
He now knows that it is better to study, he doesn't have to work, and he can have some pocket money. This year's Spring Festival will be the last time for him to receive a big red envelope. From now on, you can only get a small red envelope from your elders for good luck, and you have to give big red envelopes to the little kids!
Although he saw that all his classmates had secured jobs, he was not in a hurry. He has already thought of a way out.
"I've already made plans. Since you all need to find someone to help you take care of the house in Qiaoxi Village, why not let me take care of it? I'll rent a small shop there and open an Internet cafe... Two years ago, an Internet cafe was opened in Shanghai. I thought that not every household can buy a computer now, so I can open an Internet cafe and earn some pocket money. Of course, if I take care of the house for you, you will pay me a salary, right? Third sister?"
Chen Jin smiled and said, "Send it to you. If you don't have money to open an Internet cafe, I can invest some money in you."
"No, my third brother said he supports me in opening an internet cafe and wants to lend me money." Chen Yongan curled his lips, glanced at his brother's position, and whispered to Chen Jin, "My third brother is a miser."
Having said that, Chen Jin seemed quite happy too. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. This saying has become a familiar one in our ears over the past few years.
After a while, Chen Yongan went to find his two uncles and aunt-in-law and discussed with them about handing over the rented house in Qiaoxi Village to him for management.
"Sure!" The uncle patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "Try it out with your own house first, and then learn from others to set up a rental agency, which is not bad."
The eldest and second uncles had no objections, and they even went to persuade the unhappy third uncle to worry less.
It's not like you're not doing your job properly. Whether you work in a public institution or do a small job on your own, as long as you follow the right path, it's all good.
Chen Jin glanced around and saw Shen Baichuan being dragged by He He to build a house together, which was quite funny.
I don’t know how He He got attached to Shen Baichuan this year. This morning, when they went back to the village ancestral hall to burn incense, He He let Shen Baichuan hold her.
After receiving Shen Baichuan's distress signal, Chen Jin wanted to pretend that he didn't see it, but he looked really pitiful...
"What do you want to play, He He?"
"Build a house." He He lay in Chen Jin's arms and said, "My uncle-in-law knows how to build a house."
No wonder, when he came over for dinner last night, Shen Baichuan saw the building blocks scattered all over the floor in the living room, and on a whim he built a small house, which was seen by He He.
There's nothing we can do about it. In their family, the younger ones have always been the most favored. Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan sat on the carpet and built a small house with He He for half an hour.
Finally, the second cousin came over and kicked the house down without paying attention, causing half of it to collapse.
When He He started to pout, Chen Jin pulled Shen Baichuan away from the scene, and let the father and daughter handle the rest!
Shen Baichuan was particularly anxious about the issue of having children in the future, for fear that he would give birth to a "howling horn" in the future.
She cries at every turn, and she can't be beaten or scolded. Shen Baichuan's scalp starts to numb just thinking about it.
At this time, Chen Jin quite agreed with Zhuo Jiyu's words: He really thinks far ahead!
"Hey, Baichuan, it's your turn, say something too." My uncle only drank two glasses of drinks and looked like he was drunk.
Shen Baichuan first glanced at Chen Jin. She looked up at him with her cup in hand, her eyes sparkling, urging him to speak quickly, and was ready for her to "say a few words" next.
"Well, I hope every year will be like this. Happy New Year, everyone."
Just two sentences mean two sentences.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jin stood up without being called and said several "two sentences".
"Hey, I'm happier this year, so I talked a lot. I've finished what I'm saying, now it's Jia Jia's turn."
As soon as she sat down, Shen Baichuan held her hand on her leg and asked her if she was drunk.
"Ah? No. I didn't drink tonight." After saying that, he took two gulps of soda and let out a sigh as if he had drunk strong liquor.
She smiled with her eyebrows curved, inexplicably like a little fox.
No alcohol was consumed during the New Year's Eve dinner, but when he returned home, Chen Jin dug out a bottle of fruit wine from somewhere and invited Shen Baichuan to come over for a drink.
Daju ran over happily, but when he smelled the alcohol, he moved away in disgust and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to watch the lights and fireworks outside.
It is a big orange cat, and it has seen the world.
My uncle says almost every year that “this year is better than last year”.
It is indeed getting better every year.
Chen Jin burped, crossed his legs, hugged the pillow, leaned against the sofa, and looked up at the glittering crystal chandelier. It was as if there was a projector installed in his mind, playing all the New Year scenes stored in his memory.
When you are drunk, you feel dazed, as if you are sober, but also as if you are in a dream.
But not completely drunk either.
Shen Baichuan held her and listened to her reciting "Song of Water Melody": "...May we live long and share the beauty of the moonlight even though we are thousands of miles apart...What else do you want to hear? I can recite a lot, hiccup...This wine, did I get the wrong wine? I feel a little dizzy."
Shen Baichuan laughed out loud, and really followed her words and selected a poem, and found that Chen Jin could really recite it, so he selected another one for trial…
"I should have used a tape recorder to record what happened. Oh no, I should have used a loudspeaker to record it and play it for you a few times."
But not long after, Chen Jin fell into a deep sleep as if he had run out of energy.
When I woke up the next morning, I asked him, "Were you drunk and crazy last night?"
"...You're really good at turning the tables." He really should have recorded what happened last night.
Chen Jin insisted that he must have been drunk.
By the time I left the house, I was half an hour later than expected. On the way back to the village ancestral hall, the elders called me four or five times to urge me to leave.
"It's over. Let's get scolded together later."
When I returned to the village, before Shen Baichuan could explain, I heard Chen Jin said indignantly: “It’s all because Daju was too skinny that I was delayed in going out.”
To avoid a scolding, Shen Baichuan pursed his lips, touched Daju's head, and said, "Just pretend you didn't hear it."
Yesterday was New Year’s Eve, everyone came and went in a hurry, unlike today, the first day of the Lunar New Year when there is not much time.
There is no need to visit relatives. In the past, each household in the village would visit each other. Now, everyone gets together and can wish each other a happy new year.
Chen Jin bluntly reminded everyone that it was time to prepare their contribution money. Although the date for the wedding banquet had not yet been set, that did not stop her from saying so in advance. This way, no one would ask her when the wedding would be held.
"You two are very rich now. Your combined assets are several times more than mine."
Chen Jin looked at Chen Wenzhen with a smile and said, "Even if we don't add them together, it's still several times more than what you have, Uncle Wenzhen."
Chen Wenzhen: “…That’s right.”
It's so infuriating.
However, he is now honest. The old man has a lot of things in his hands. Although he has made a will, the will is not something that cannot be changed. He has to get some things from the old man.
He is not like Chen Wensong, who has a younger brother who is a businessman. The old branch secretary didn’t even need to make a will, and now he has given the majority of the money to Chen Wenshi... So, what’s wrong with having two sons? Still got nothing?
Jiang Kexin also took half of his property, and she's getting better and better... Chen Wensong must be even more angry.
Aunt Zhou said to Chen Jin: "Chen Wenzhen and Chen Wensong are crazy. They are compared. A tortoise and a turtle are equally matched. It is hard to tell who is better when compared."
Chen Jin gave Aunt Zhou a thumbs up: When it comes to scolding, Aunt Zhou is the best, her description is very accurate and to the point.
"But Aunt Xin won't come back in the future?"
"Come back occasionally. Her building is managed by an agency, so she doesn't need to collect rent. Besides, Chen Yue wants to stay in Shanghai to continue her studies, so it's hard to say whether she will come back in the future."
Chen Jin shrugged and said, "It's the same wherever I am. It's not like I can't come back."
It’s better to stay away from Chen Wensong’s family. Seeing his home is a mess, Chen Yue came back just to cause trouble.
"That's right. The mother and daughter are together and living a good life. There's no need to come back."
As for the people in Qiaodong Village, for the time being, except for Chen Bagu, Chen Yongqiang's family, and Chen Wenxing's family, everyone else is living a good life, and can even be said to be wealthy.
If you can keep it firmly, you will have no problem eating and drinking well all your life.
Mutang Village and Qiaoxi Village, which have many negative examples, were again mentioned by Aunt Zhou.
Chen Jin was surprised and asked, "Old Zhang's family split up? What happened?"
"The two old people couldn't agree. One wanted to help the eldest son, and the other felt sorry for the youngest. They filed for divorce and said they had consulted a lawyer, and the family property was divided equally between the two. In the end, they just split up. The bulk of the money went to the eldest and third sons. Your ex-uncle, hehe..."
Chen Jin also laughed and ate melon seeds more vigorously. "I feel relieved to hear that he is not doing well. Hey, he and his current wife are not divorced, right?"
"No. How could they get a divorce? He wanted a divorce, but his wife didn't want to! She also ruined his son and daughter's jobs. She said she had beaten them up a few times, but they still live together. Oh, I don't understand."
"Tsk tsk! Who can understand this? This whole family is full of crazy people."
Chen Jin pushed Aunt Zhou again, "What else? Tell me more."
Shen Baichuan was called into the ancestral hall to help move things, and when he was done, he couldn't find Chen Jin anywhere. It was not until I turned a corner that I saw Chen Jin and a group of aunties squatting against the wall, eating melon seeds, basking in the sun and gossiping.
"Ah, are you done?" Chen Jin quickly asked the people next to him to move aside, and then called Shen Baichuan to come over to listen together, "We just happened to be talking about the meeting in Qiaoxi Village before the New Year. It was a close call! There was a fight! Fortunately, I didn't go at that time. Aunt Zhou, please continue."
Shen Baichuan squatted next to her, and immediately a handful of melon seeds appeared in his palm.
"It's raw, so you won't get irritated if you eat it."
Gradually, several more people gathered.
When her uncle came to find her, he saw her and Shen Baichuan joining in the fun and listening to gossip, and he put his hands on his hips and sighed.
"Third sister, go burn incense."
“Oh, here I come.” Chen Jin returned the remaining melon seeds to Aunt Zhou, clapped his hands, and called Shen Baichuan to go together.
Daju refused to follow them and continued to listen while lying at Aunt Zhou's feet.
"You are so old, but you still like to join in the fun and don't even think about your work..."
Chen Jin said helplessly: "Uncle, look at those aunts and grandmas, they only like to join in the fun when they are old!"
"...Don't argue with me!"
Shen Baichuan, who was one step behind, lowered his head and snickered.
When they arrived at the ancestral hall, Chen Jin did whatever his uncle told him to do, following his instructions like a puppet, burning incense, pouring tea and wine, and burning paper money.
Wow, the amount of paper money issued by Tiandi Bank is so much larger!
When Chen Jin stood up, his ears were filled with the voice of his uncle: "Ancestors, please bless my third sister with good health, success in making a fortune, and smooth sailing..."
Chen Jin has never liked saying these things since he was a child. He always felt that these words were hot to the lips and he spoke them with difficulty. But the elders knew that her chatterbox was not very effective at times like this, so they would always finish her series of "wishes" for her.
As soon as the eldest uncle finished speaking, the third uncle helped to connect Shen Baichuan's "wish".
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, while others went to their mother's house, Shen Baichuan took her to the Cheng family's old house to pay New Year's greetings.
"You still remember to come? It's been half a month since we got married, and you haven't even come to tell me in person!" Cheng Yuanqing was a little angry.
But who cares whether he is angry or not? !
Chen Jin was considered good as he even gave him wedding candy. Not only the old man, but also the people from the Cheng family, Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan all gave them wedding candies.
Shen Baichuan urged: “Don’t say so much nonsense, just tell me to come over and get something, hurry up.”
Cheng Yuanqing snorted in annoyance and asked someone to get out the things he had prepared.
Everyone in this room was nervous, fearing that the old man would give Shen Baichuan too much.
Cheng Yanzong sneered, and before he could speak, Shen Baichuan said first: "What's wrong with you? You're humming and groaning at home. The old man won't let you manage the company again? They are all born by your father, and your family will not suffer any loss."
Cheng Yanzong: “…”
"You don't have to stare at me. Your company is in the hands of the old man, not me. I'm not your ancestor, so there's no point staring at me."
Once he comes, he can't stop and has to talk about everyone. Cheng Huaan said with a straight face: "Now that you're married, you should be more stable. When will you hold the wedding banquet?"
Shen Baichuan did not answer but asked: "When will you bring your son back from outside?"
Chen Jingang was still thinking about taking the things and leaving quickly, but now when he heard Shen Baichuan shaking the big news, he sat down steadily again, and even picked up the pastry next to him and started eating.
It’s so delicious! whee.
She and Shen Baichuan watched Cheng Hua'an quarrel with his wife, and the people from the other two rooms also took sides. After all, there is a new competitor and we have to be on guard!
As for the wedding gifts given by the old man, they were not that rare and not as exciting as today’s excitement.
Cheng Yuanqing wanted to scold them for causing trouble, but they refused to listen. After getting the food, they said they were going home and didn't even stay for dinner.
"You know such big gossip, why didn't you tell me?"
Shen Baichuan raised his eyebrows and smiled: “I didn’t know if it was true before, but I just exploded it and found out it was true.”
"Haha, you are really smart! Tell me how you found out..."
