Work starts
Probably because we went out traveling for a while this summer vacation, and then Chen Jin took Daju and his third uncle and aunt to the ancient village for a week, so this summer vacation passed particularly quickly.
It passed in a flash.
We are leaving the ancient village tomorrow, and Chen Jin is reluctant to leave the recliner here.
Daju plays happily every day, running around with the cats and dogs in the village.
"Teacher Chen, when you go back this afternoon, remember to bring these dishes with you."
The proprietress of this shop brought back a big basket of crispy vegetables. Water was dripping from the bottom of the basket. It was probably because she had washed it in the small river beside the vegetable field. Not even the roots of the vegetables were covered with mud.
"Thank you, Auntie. We will stay at your place next time."
"That's great. I'll ask my little Hua to work harder and try to get into Nanjing University in the future."
"With your Xiaohua's grades, she will definitely be admitted."
"Thank you for your good words, haha." The proprietress smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
This girl always stays at their inn every time she comes to the ancient village. This time she stayed longer. It was also during this time that I found out that she is a counselor at Nanjing University and also studied at Nanjing University.
She thought that it would be best if her little daughter could get admitted to Nanjing University and study there to become a teacher.
People who read a lot are different. They are very sweet-spoken and can chat with the old ladies in the village every day and get along well with them.
Chen Jin then took the opportunity to say, "Aunt, if there is land for sale in town, please let us know. We want to buy a bigger piece of land. We have a large family, so we need to build a big house."
"Okay. Don't worry, I have your phone number saved. I'll call you when I have news."
The proprietress still couldn't help wondering: We are living well in the city, why do we have to move to a small town? It's strange. They said that if there is anything available in the village, they would like to buy it in the village. It is definitely impossible to buy a house in the village, but she has never seen anyone who wants to buy land and live here. If they say they come here to do business, it is understandable. What's the picture...
After returning home, Chen Jin moved back to the small Western-style building and prepared to wait for school to start at home.
On the third day after I came back, I received a call from my third cousin.
I called specifically to express my gratitude, saying that my third aunt had been out for a week and was in a much better mood, no longer getting mad over trivial matters like before.
"My mother kept repeating to me at home at least ten times today that it is better to have a daughter."
Chen Jin smiled and said, "She's pointing at you. Hurry up and find a partner, get married, and have a baby. It would be best if you had a baby as cute as He He."
"Oh, it's a good thing I didn't say that. It's not appropriate for her to have another child at her age." The third cousin scratched his head, not realizing that she was reminding him in a roundabout way. I really didn't expect this.
Chen Jin burst into laughter. If he told this, his third cousin would probably get beaten.
Suddenly, there was a familiar sound of a car outside the door. Chen Jin quickly ended the call with his third cousin and went out to see what was going on, following Daju a few steps behind.
It was indeed Shen Baichuan’s car.
Before Shen Baichuan got out of the car, he saw Chen Jin standing at the main gate, and Daju, who had already run to the gate of the courtyard and was about to poke at the gate.
There was no need to wait for her to open the door. Shen Baichuan had the key given by Chen Jin. He used the key to open the front door and came in, holding a familiar packaging bag in his hand.
"On the way back, I happened to pass by Guxi Road, so I bought a cake."
After the person entered the house, Chen Jin followed behind and saw him run straight into the house, wash his hands, and then come out to find his cup to drink water.
"Have you finished your work at the company and are you ready to move back?"
"Well, I'm done. I brought back all the luggage."
Chen Jin was originally looking up and talking to him while looking at him, but as he looked at him, his gaze fell on his Adam's apple, which was rolling due to drinking water.
He touched his face, looked away uncomfortably, then opened the bag and took out the small piece of cake.
"You've been having a lot of fun outside these days, haven't you? You didn't even call me."
Chen Jin said, "I'm afraid it will delay your work. I called you twice, but Assistant Yu answered both times and said you were still in a meeting. You guys are really hardworking. You were still in a meeting at eight or nine o'clock."
"If you don't fight, you'll be overtaken by others." Shen Baichuan just went over and hugged Chen Jin from behind, and was slapped on the feet by the big orange Bangbang with two paws, looking furious.
He looked down at Daju and complained to Chen Jin, "You ate alone, and Daju got angry, so he only hit me."
Chen Jin laughed twice and said, "You bought the cake, so you deserve to be beaten."
Then he lowered his head and said to Daju: "You can't eat cake cream, and the doctor said you are too fat..."
Originally it was just two small bang bang claws, but the big orange one kept barking and using the shadowless cat claws with bang bang bang. Then when Shen Baichuan bent down to catch it, it jumped out again.
"Hey, it's still a nimble fat cat." Chen Jin laughed and scooped another spoonful to eat.
By the way, he handed Shen Baichuan a new spoon, “You eat some too, I can’t finish it.”
Shen Baichuan only stayed here for a while, then went back to his house to wash up, and then came over again in his home clothes.
Chen Jin was originally sitting on the sofa with legs crossed, but later he leaned against him to watch TV.
“It’s outrageous that he can still survive after jumping down, you say…” Chen Jin turned his head and saw that Shen Baichuan had fallen asleep.
There were bruises under his eyes, as if he had been beaten.
Chen Jin helped him take off his glasses and turned down the volume of the TV. The big orange dog with its four paws facing the sky didn't hear the sound and turned back to look at her, and she made a "hush" sound.
At night, Chen Jin tossed and turned several times but couldn't fall asleep. I went downstairs quietly and took a look. Shen Baichuan was still sleeping on the sofa, and Daju was sleeping on the carpet…
Ever since Daju moved to her room to sleep, he would always sleep in the same room with her unless she went on a long trip and didn't take him with her.
For a moment, she didn't know whether she felt awkward about Shen Baichuan staying in her house to sleep, or she felt uncomfortable about Daju not going back to the house to sleep.
Forget it, I'll kick everyone and the cat out of the living room tomorrow morning.
Chen Jin thought so as he lay back on the bed.
The next morning, Shen Baichuan turned over and almost fell off the sofa.
It would be a disaster if it fell, because the big orange cat is sleeping next to the sofa and it would definitely hit it.
I stared at the roof for a long time before I remembered that I was watching TV with Chen Jin here last night and fell asleep while watching.
After glancing at the wall clock, Shen Baichuan got up and went home.
He got up early, and no one saw him when he came out of Chen Jin's house. When he opened his own gate, he heard the sound of Professor Song's door opening, and his eyes met Aunt He's.
It was early in the morning, so it was not appropriate to speak loudly and disturb others, so the two of them nodded.
Shen Baichuan opened the courtyard gate but was not in a hurry to go in. He waited for Aunt He to come over and asked him if he was too busy at work because he came back from outside so early.
Shen Baichuan said, “The company has been quite busy recently.”
"You and Teacher Chen, both of you are busy. It's good to be busy. Being busy means that the company is making money, but you also have to take care of your health."
"Yes, thank you for reminding me."
"Okay then, go back and have some rest. I also have to go buy groceries."
Shen Baichuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he returned home, thinking: It was a close call.
You can't do this anymore.
When Chen Jin came over with Daju, he said, "I didn't mean to let you sleep on the sofa. It's so heavy that I can't move it. I called you twice but you didn't wake up."
Seeing how soundly he was sleeping and the dark circles under his eyes, she didn't shout at the top of her lungs.
"It's just right that you don't have to go to work. Daju can stay at home with you today." Chen Jin was in a hurry to go out, so he reminded him to find someone to remove a door from the fence in the backyard.
"Please have someone be careful and don't drop the potted plants in the backyard. You decide how to open this door."
Without waiting for him to say anything, Chen Jin put Daju down and ran away, leaving him and Daju staring at each other.
There is a new Baiyou clothing store diagonally opposite the right side of the community entrance. It now has a sign and the interior has been renovated. It's not time for the clerk to go to work yet, so the store is not open for business yet.
Nanjing University, Nanjing University Primary School and Nanjing University Middle School are all in this area. There are many family members of faculty and staff. Even during holidays, the business in the store is still good.
Chen Jin drove directly to the company. Most of the buildings inside had been completed, but the office building was still under renovation and he could not move in immediately.
I met He Feiyang here again, but he was busy. Chen Jin greeted him and went about his own business.
People from both companies gathered in the newly built cafeteria to hold meetings. If they squeezed together, there would be no problem seating five or six hundred people. From now on, if there are more people, they will not be able to hold meetings inside the company.
The cafeteria was built on the newly purchased land. After the two sides were connected, a separate door facing the road was opened to make it convenient for employees from both companies to come and eat. It has two floors.
Those who come outside to sell lunch boxes move their things directly to the canteen entrance.
During every meeting, the two factory managers always spoke the most. Chen Jin did not like to talk much. Whenever he had any problems or ideas, he would go directly to the two factory managers. During the general meetings, he would just say a few words to boost morale.
In fact, no matter how many nice words you say, it is better to pay wages on time and mention the company's benefits.
But there is definitely no way to mention it now. We can only wait and see if there will be another outbreak in the remaining months of this year.
Baiyou has now reached a bottleneck period, but Lemei is in full swing, and Nan'an is also doing well and rising steadily.
Chen Jin came here not only to attend meetings but also to sign documents, and there were quite a lot of things.
After a while of peace and quiet, Geng Xin came over again...
If she is not busy, it would be fine, but when she is busy, she is very busy.
Chu Qi helped out by running around and had a rare feeling of being the boss's assistant.
In the afternoon, Chen Jin took Chu Qi to the land that he bought together with several families in Qiaodong Village. Construction started today, and her uncle asked her to go over there for a good omen.
People from every household in the village came, and even those who didn't participate came just to come and see and join in the fun.
I don't know whether to let her go for a good omen, or to let her come for a good omen for the start of construction on this land.
Chu Qi asked seriously, "Aren't they all the same?"
Chen Jin sighed and said, "How can they be the same? One is to bring me good luck, and the other is to bring this place good luck. What a lot of tricks, I'm impressed."
Chu Qi expressed that he was also very convinced and had broadened his horizons following his boss. He used to stay in a martial arts gym, practicing and teaching people from morning to night, and he never knew that there were so many strange things happening outside.
This piece of land is much larger than the small piece she bought, and the initial plan is not small. Construction has started now, and they plan to start selling it after it is completely built.
My uncle's company has now become well-known in the industry, and is taking on projects one after another. This piece of land was contracted by my uncle, and since we are family, the price is quite fair.
"The benchmark here is Xicheng Home. Let's see if the planned facilities are better than Xicheng Home."
Chen Jin is not a professional and can’t quite understand the details of the drawings, but he can still understand the three-dimensional sand table, which is crystal clear at a glance.
"Is it really comparable to Xicheng Homes? Is this easy to sell?"
Obviously, there are all kinds of real estate projects around here. Nancheng District is considered to be an industrial concentration area in Rong City. There are many workers, but most of them are from other places.
In terms of easy sales, the property in Qiaoxi Village should be the one that can be sold at a good price.
"It will take at least two years to complete the project." My uncle said, "There are many migrant workers here, so commercial housing is easy to sell. The higher-ups have already made it clear that the subway will be connected to the industrial park and the science and technology park. Even if we don't sell it in the future, it would be good to rent it out. The rent of this area is almost catching up with the rent of Xiuli Garden."
"Look at the welfare housing provided by work units now. How many people are waiting in line in each unit for housing? Welfare housing will be cancelled sooner or later. There are still many policy supports for buying commercial housing..."
Some units simply do not have the ability to provide welfare housing, while some units have the ability, but only a small number of people can get the houses. Commercial housing in good locations will definitely not be a problem to sell, so at worst you can just keep some of it.
Then, Chen Jin felt that he was worrying too much.
Even in a high-end community like Rose Garden, there are still people who want to buy other people's second-hand houses, which shows that there are many wealthy people in Rong City.
Most of the homes in Xicheng are now sold out, so this place may not be that bad.
When it came to naming, Chen Jin laughed for a long time when listening to the alternative names.
Some people suggested naming it "Qiaodong New Village", but in the end it was named "Sunshine Community".
It’s really sunny.
Chen Jin looked up and let out a long sigh.
The uncle patted her head and looked down. "You look listless today. Did something happen to you?"
"Oh, something big has happened."
My uncle's expression became serious. "Tell me, what big thing could make you so busy?"
It's obvious that he didn't get enough rest.
Isn’t it just that you didn’t get enough rest? She got up twice last night and went downstairs to check, and she didn't have time to take a nap at noon.
The sun was shining especially brightly today, as if to welcome her out to work. There weren't even any clouds, it just shone down so fiercely.
Chen Jin sighed deeply again and said, "Uncle, don't you feel uncomfortable walking outside like this in the sun? I feel like I'm about to get a heat stroke. Ask someone to buy me two bottles of Huoxiang Zhengqi water."
"..." The uncle was choking and glaring at her, "I told you to go hiking more often and not to lie down or sit all day long. Look, you eat a lot, but you get dizzy after walking a few steps. You usually know that drinking is bad for your health, but when it comes to you, you don't know how to do it..."
Despite all the scolding, my uncle still asked someone to buy her some Huoxiang Zhengqi water.
"Let's go and rest in the car."
"Hey, what's wrong with third sister? Are you not feeling well?" Aunt Zhou asked with concern.
"Yes, the sun is too strong. I'm going to get heat stroke."
Chen Wensong, who was standing behind him, then said, "Third sister, your body is a little weak."
If he hadn't seen her jumping around and cursing at people in the past two or three years, he would have forgotten that his third sister was a sickly child when she was young.
Aunt Zhou glared at me immediately. "I see you're the one who's really weak. You've been to the bathroom several times this afternoon."
"No! Zhou Xiangxiang, you are sick! Chen Wenming, can you control your wife?"
Chen Wenming glanced at his lower body and muttered something. Chen Wensong got even more furious: Ahhhh! I’m so fed up with these gossipy guys and gals in the village!
Chen Jin didn’t hear what happened next. He dodged the hand extended by his uncle, took Chu Qi's hand and walked towards the car outside.
"I don't want to tire you out. I see you've been tanned quite a bit. Let's not let two of us fall at once. You should also drink a bottle of water later as a precaution."
"Today is a good day, full of Yang energy. Is there any explanation?"
If she hadn't looked so listless, my uncle would have really wanted to slap her. What a poor child! She was not feeling well but she was still mumbling.
Chen Jin drank a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water and turned on the air conditioner. He felt better, but he also felt a little nauseous.
Just as he was feeling listless, someone suddenly started arguing outside. Chen Jin immediately perked up and leaned over the car window to look out. It was a bit far away and he couldn't see clearly, so he said to Chu Qi who was sitting in the driver's seat: "Assistant Chu, help me get my binoculars!"
Chu Qi's mouth twitched, and she took out her small telescope and handed it over.
Then he silently took out another one, opened it quietly, and looked at the people who were gathered in front of him and quarreling.
The uncle looked at Chen Jin, then at Chu Qi, and his eyes almost rolled up to the sky.
"Oh hey, the people on both sides look familiar. Are the people from Qiaoxi Village and Mutang Village fighting each other?!" Chen Jin's voice doesn't sound like someone who is about to have heatstroke.
Pulling out his phone, he poked and poked, "Shen Baichuan! Go out and see the excitement, it's so exciting!"
"Oh, I'm in the suburbs of South City, across from that awful shop I told you about, on land bought in the village. Uh-huh-huh! Come quickly, I don't think this will be over in a short while."
"Hey, no, I really want to know why they started arguing." Chen Jin looked at the sun outside, scratched his head, and said, "Assistant Chu, why don't you go over and take a look? Bring your phone with you, I'll call you."
Chu Qi was used to it, so she took an umbrella from the trunk and headed straight for the crowd in front.
"A good assistant has been led astray by you." The uncle took the telescope left by Chu Qi and pondered for a while before opening it.
"No, I think she was running happily. It's such a joy to watch the fun."
"If I wasn't afraid of heat stroke, I would have gone out too."
"Today is a good day. There is no lion dance, but there are free performances."
My uncle laughed at what she said, "Please be quiet for a while and stop talking."
