Chapter 23 Handing in wages
When Wen Ci woke up, it was already dark. Seeing the lights on in the room, she stood up and sat down beside the bed, taking a few minutes to relax.
When he walked into the living room, he couldn't see anyone, but he heard the sound of cooking in the kitchen. Wen Ci dragged his newly awakened body against the door and smelled the aroma of chili peppers.
Wen Ci came back to his senses instantly, and showed surprise: "Stir-fried pork?"
In the kitchen, Huo Jingyuan was wearing an apron around his waist. When he heard Wen Ci's voice, he turned around and looked at Wen Ci, his voice soft and tender: "It will be half an hour before dinner. You can go to the living room and watch TV first."
"What?"
Wen Ci blinked. When she first walked over, she didn't notice how many things were in the living room. She turned her head and looked inside.
There is a TV in the living room.
When Wen Ci turned on the TV, the picture he saw was in color.
While in the mall, Wen Ci visited the color TV area. The most expensive item was a color TV, which cost about 1,200 yuan, but was delivered and installed.
Wen Ci's delight was evident as he approached the kitchen door: "When did you buy a color TV? How much did it cost?"
Huo Jingyuan held the spatula in his hand and answered, "I didn't spend a penny on the TV. It was a wedding gift from my aunt last month."
Last month, Wen Ci was still in a remote mountain village.
"aunt?"
"Well, what does my aunt do when she opens a company abroad?"
Wen Ci's eyes widened: "Opening a company abroad?"
In this day and age, those who can start a company and do business abroad are worth at least tens of millions, maybe even more than that, or even hundreds of millions.
Nowadays, there are only a handful of people in China with an annual income of over 10,000 yuan.
Wen Ci couldn't help but smack his lips and praised: "Aunt is so powerful."

Half an hour later, Huo Jingyuan brought a few dishes to the table. He served the rice and said in a deep voice with a hint of favor: "Wen Ci, it's time to eat."
Wen Ci immediately stood up from the sofa, walked over to sit opposite Huo Jingyuan, and looked at the delicious dishes. She raised her head and looked at Huo Jingyuan:
"Don't you know how to cook?"
Huo Jingyuan smiled and said, "At noon, I asked the auntie in the cafeteria for advice. It seems that I should be able to fry it well, but I don't know how it tastes..."
He couldn't guarantee the taste either.
This was his first time trying cooking. The food he had eaten on the train these days was not very oily. After a long journey to the northwest, he wanted to give Wen Ci a good experience.
"Is it delicious? Let me try it!"
As he spoke, Wen Ci picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The dish had just been fried and was still a little hot: "Xuan, it's delicious."
Huo Jingyuan looked at her expression with a hint of smile in his eyes: "As long as you like it, I will cook for you at least one day every Friday in the future."
The work in the group is usually very busy, and it is very difficult for him to spare a day.
"Okay." Wen Ci smiled with satisfaction.
While Wen Ci was eating, Huo Jingyuan suddenly stood up from his chair. Wen Ci asked, "Why did you stand up? Aren't you going to eat?"
"I'll go get something."
Huo Jingyuan entered the master bedroom and came out in less than half a minute. He sat back in his seat and handed the passbook to Wen Ci.
"I don't have much money to spend in the Northwest Military Region, so I saved all my money. My parents also put money into my passbook."
Wen Ci put down his chopsticks, curled his lips, and jokingly said: "Comrade Huo, is this handing in your salary?"
"Well, hand in your salary." Huo Jingyuan lowered his head to eat.
