Qian Xiang listened to his wife's words and nodded thoughtfully. Then he said to Qian Cai, "Dad, Guo Ni said that there aren't many foreign language-related courses in their curriculum, so they haven't studied them much."
Qian Cai stroked his chin and thought for a while, then asked again, "Do you know why Duo Duo said so much?"
Guo Ni nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, Duoduo can speak. In our entire dormitory, Duoduo is the best student. Oh no, not just in our dormitory, but even in the entire agricultural science department, she's one of the best. Think about it, Duoduo can repair those imported equipment. If she didn't have some foreign language skills, how could she possibly figure it out? And the reason why those two clothing factory owners are so fond of Duoduo isn't just because of her excellent clothing design skills. If you could win people over just by designing, that wouldn't be very realistic, right?"
Qian Xiang looked up at A Biao, who was ordering food in Cantonese, and asked after he finished, "A Biao, do you know about your boss's clothing factory machine repair business?"
Ah Biao nodded slightly and said with emotion, "This story goes back two years! Our boss's English is truly exceptional, fluent and authentic. Back then, facing those foreigners with high noses and blue eyes, his impassioned speech completely stunned them. They were all dumbfounded and couldn't utter a word for a long time. Even Director Yang of the garment factory admired our boss immensely! So later, when our boss went to rent the production line, Director Yang agreed without hesitation."
Hearing this, Qian Xiang couldn't help but laugh. He looked at his wife curiously and asked, "How come I didn't know anything about something so important?"
Seeing the slight displeasure on Qian Xiang's face, Guo Ni quickly explained, "Do you remember the year before last? It was when my son and I accompanied my second uncle and aunt to Pengcheng for the Spring Festival. When we were about to go back, wasn't it Duoduo who took us to the Guangzhou Railway Station? It was then that I had the opportunity to visit that garment factory with her and witness firsthand her discussing how to repair equipment with workers from Germany. I saw her tightly clutching that thick instruction manual, constantly using technical terms, and gesturing with her hands from time to time. The workers opposite her initially tried to argue, but they were quickly suppressed by Duoduo's powerful aura and rigorous logic, and in the end, they could only helplessly start repairing the machines."
This discovery gave Qian Xiang a clearer understanding and appreciation of Qian Duoduo. It turned out that this seemingly ordinary younger sister was actually a person of great hidden talent! Thinking of this, Qian Xiang couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of pride. After all, how could one not feel joy and pride to have such an outstanding younger sister?
As more than twenty people gazed upon these exquisitely crafted tea snacks, Old Mrs. Jin couldn't help but mutter to Jin Jinxiu beside her, "These things do look very beautiful, but there are far too few of them!"
This wasn't Jin Jinxiu's first time visiting this place. Although she hadn't been to Guangzhou for many years, the changes here were quite significant. She grinned and jokingly said, "Mom, Southerners have always been like this, living a refined life. You'll get used to it eventually." As she spoke, she placed a crystal steamed dumpling in Grandma Jin's bowl. Seeing Grandpa Jin's longing look, she quickly placed one in his bowl as well.
Old Jin took a small bite of the pastry, instantly feeling his mouth overflow with sweet juice. After savoring it, he nodded in praise, "Hmm, the taste is not bad, but the size is pitifully small. You can swallow one in one bite. It can't compare to the big meat buns your mother makes!"
At this moment, everyone began to taste the dishes on the table. Qian Cai picked up a large shrimp, put it in his mouth, and began to eat with gusto. After a while, he smacked his lips with satisfaction and exclaimed, "This shrimp is really fresh!" Then, he curiously pointed to a piece of golden-yellow, fragrant food on the plate and asked, "Hmm, this yellowish thing smells really good. What is it?"
Qian Xiang smiled and said, "This is a crab roe bun."
Qian Cai asked curiously, "Crab roe? Is it just crab roe?" Seeing Qian Xiang nod, he asked again, "How many crabs would it take to make one of these buns? This meal must be quite expensive."
Ah Biao listened to their discussion from the side, and could only lower his head and eat, not daring to say a word. In his memory, although they ordered a lot of food, it was nothing like a boss going to Shangri-La or those high-end restaurants for a meal. Of course, those were the kind of meals other people would treat their bosses to, and he was just tagging along. Of course, he wouldn't dare to say such things casually.
After everyone finished eating, Ah Biao went to pay the bill. Just as he was about to walk back, he saw a familiar figure walk in. He immediately went up to him and said, "Boss, have you eaten?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "We've already eaten. What about you guys?"
Ah Biao said, "We've already finished eating."
Qian Duoduo nodded and went in first. She immediately saw her family. There were so many people on their side that it was hard not to attract attention. She walked over lightly. Fu Ning spotted Qian Duoduo at a glance. The clothes she was wearing this time were bought for her by Jin Shen. At the time, she thought the clothes were so beautiful that she was a little reluctant to part with them. But when she saw Qian Duoduo, who was completely different from the one in Heilongjiang Province, she was completely stunned.
Wearing a well-fitting light gray suit with a rose-red shirt underneath, and with her hair styled in a bun, she looked much more capable. This was a completely different style from the Qian Duoduo she had seen in Beian Village. This one looked like a very wealthy boss, exuding a powerful aura that made Qian Duoduo feel a little afraid to look directly at her.
When Grandma Jin saw Qian Duoduo like this, her eyes lit up immediately. Her Duoduo really looked good in anything.
When Ah Hu saw Qian Duoduo walking over, his body reflexively stood up and stood to the side, praying in his heart: "Don't see me, don't see me!"
Seeing that everyone was sitting, Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, Parents, Brother, Sister-in-law, we've finished eating. Let's go back and rest for a bit."
Everyone nodded; indeed, after several days of train travel, they were quite tired. As Qian Duoduo helped Grandma Jin walk, she heard the old lady lean her head towards her and whisper, "How many days are we going to stay here?"
Qian Duoduo said, "You guys stay here for a while and recover. Then we need to discuss the marriage proposal with Uncle's family. There's a lot to do. We'll buy whatever we can here first. There's not as many kinds of things to buy in Pengcheng as here. Grandma, I'll take you shopping after I'm done with these next few days."
