Chapter 404: A look of courtesy, a pile of seafood
Qin Wenjun was a woman after all. She noticed something was wrong between Zhang Wanwan and Leng Ziyue. She quickly finished the porridge in her bowl and continued to work. Seeing that the third brother had no intention of leaving, she hurriedly said, "Third brother, you haven't finished cleaning the kitchen yet, right? Let's go together."
The third brother knew that Leng Ziyue was coming to pick him up, so in order not to let Leng Ziyue wait any longer, he had to reluctantly put down his bowl and chopsticks and follow Qin Wenjun out.
After the person left, Zhang Wanwan became nervous again. She secretly glanced at Leng Ziyue and buried her head in eating.
Leng Ziyue nodded calmly and said, "You are a good assistant, you have good judgment, you can be trained as a key person."
"Puff, cough, cough." Zhang Wanwan's face turned red due to choking, and she glared at him resentfully.
Leng Ziyue hurriedly patted her back to calm her down, and said with a smile in her beautiful eyes: "Really, how can you be so careless when eating at such a grown-up age!"
Zhang Wanwan was afraid that she would continue to tease him, so she quickly changed the subject, "The Spring Festival is coming in two days, do you still plan to stay in Pu City?"
"How do you know my home is not in Pu City?" Leng Ziyue asked suspiciously.
Zhang Wanwan was calm and brought up Tian Sen. "That good friend of yours said that. He told me before that there was a good brother who lived a leisurely secluded life like me, but his health was not very good. Wasn't he talking about you? He also said that he would bring you to visit me when he was free. If you were in Pu City, you could come by yourself. Why did he have to rush back from Jing City?"
Leng Ziyue nodded in thought, but did not continue to ask, instead he said thoughtfully: "It doesn't matter where I spend the New Year. It's pretty good here in Pu City. I used to study here, and I have some distant relatives here. Of course, more importantly, you are here too!"
Zhang Wanwan shuddered, quickly cleared the dishes and left, glaring at him warningly, "Don't push your luck!"
Looking at her fleeing back, Leng Zi laughed louder and felt happier.
Leng Ziyue waited until the third brother had packed his luggage before taking him away. Before leaving, he asked Zhang Wanwan for some snacks.
Zhang Wanwan was really confused. Since when did this guy start liking sweets?
Only after seeing off this great god did Zhang Wanwan have time to stop and catch her breath.
In the evening, she and Qin Wenjun had a rare moment of leisure. They drank tea, ate snacks, watched the rain, talked, and chatted under the eaves. It was quite pleasant.
Zhang's father and mother came back on their electric bikes. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the two people sitting comfortably. Zhang's mother hurriedly shouted, "Come over and help get some things."
Zhang Wanwan was carrying two large plastic bags, her eyes wide open, "What is so heavy?"
Father Zhang parked the electric bike, took off his raincoat, and then said, "Your mother and I went to the county town to clean the new house. We will move on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and there is still a lot of work to do. Your cousin came over this afternoon to load things. He said that your uncle and his family went to the port, and a large fishing boat will be back today.
As you know, those large fishing boats usually go out for several months, and they go to relatively far places. There are more things and the prices are higher than those on the market. Your mother said she wanted to go and have a look, which would be perfect as a year-end gift. When we got there, we found that a large number of vendors had gathered at the port, all of whom were there to purchase goods. Your mother fought with them for a long time before she got these.
Look at the lobsters, they are big and fresh. They are sold for 80 yuan each. That's because they are so expensive at the end of the year. If it were normal, they would probably be 50 yuan. Your mother bought 10 at once. And the crab, I can't even tell what kind it is, it's super big, bigger than my two palms, not expensive, your mother bought 8. There are also some abalone, sea cucumbers and so on. Anyway, we didn't buy any fish, just some seafood that we don't have in the market here. Oh, and there is also a bucket of sea water. We put some living seafood in it for two days. I'm going to buy an oxygen pump later."
As Zhang's father spoke, he began to pack up the seafood. Zhang Wanwan saw him get a super large plastic storage box from somewhere. While the sea water was pouring into it, Zhang Wanwan dropped a drop of spiritual spring water into it. When Zhang's father put the seafood in, she found that almost all of the seafood was alive, with only two lobsters that had just died and were still quite fresh.
Zhang's father took the two lobsters out and said to Zhang's mother, "Cook the lobsters tonight and improve the family's diet."
Zhang's mother originally wanted to freeze, but after hearing what Zhang's father said, she just gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement.
That night, Zhang's mother called all four members of the Qin family over and they had dinner together.
It is said that one should be grateful to those who benefit from him, and Qin's mother is no exception. Because logistics and express delivery have stopped, they have much less work on hand, so Qin's mother took the initiative to offer to help Zhang's father and mother clean the new house.
Qin's father originally wanted to go, but he couldn't leave anyone at the end of the village alone, and he had to stay behind to guard it, so he had to let Qin Wenbin ride a motorcycle to take Qin's mother there.
This was the first time that Qin's mother came to the Zhang family's new house. Seeing this magnificent house, Qin's mother was completely stunned. "Meilan, your house is so big! It can accommodate dozens of people without any problem!"
Zhang's mother laughed and said, "Let's go. The door to the second floor is at the back."
According to Zhang Wanwan's original design, the first floor was the company and store, and it was not connected to the second floor. To go to the second floor, one had to go around the back, enter the yard first, and then go up the stairs to the second floor lobby. The stairs were made of marble and looked grand and gorgeous.
Mother Qin was amazed at what she saw. When she entered the second floor hall, she exclaimed, "It's so big!"
It is really big. This hall is estimated to be about 200 square meters. It is decorated in a European luxurious style, with gorgeous crystal chandeliers, high-end European sofas, and even the bricks are the largest marble bricks. The entrance hall leads directly to the roof of the three houses, and there is a spacious curved staircase on the side, leading directly to the third floor. The mahogany railings make the style look different.
Mother Qin couldn't take it anymore and said, "I've lived for most of my life and this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful house! A living room is this big, how many rooms does it have?"
Zhang's mother led Qin's mother inside and introduced, "The house covers an area of 600 square meters, and the yard outside is 400 square meters, so the total area is 1,000. Let's not talk about the first floor, we don't know much about it, the second, third and fourth floors are all for living. The second floor has the largest living room, and there is a larger kitchen, dining room, storage room, and a bathroom next to it. There are four large rooms, all equipped with bathrooms, because the area is relatively large. There are also cloakrooms and small study rooms in the four rooms, which are generally used to place computers. This is what my daughter strongly requested.
The living room on the third floor is half the size, but it has more rooms, a total of more than a dozen rooms. I don’t know what so many rooms are used for. My daughter turned one into a KTV, one is a gym, and there is a relatively large study. The other rooms are empty and can be used as guest rooms. You said we are not running a hotel, why do we need so many guest rooms?"
