Xiao Yu hadn't turned on his phone for three days. When he turned it on, he saw 99+ missed calls, which scared him so much that his scalp went numb.
However, thinking about the upcoming work at the Monster Management Bureau, he had to defuse this bomb before taking office. After all, he couldn't escape this roar from his mother.
But this time his mother finished her yelling and crying, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
How does the saying go? You don’t know the hardships of being a parent until you raise a child.
Perhaps this is how Mother Xiao feels at the moment.
Seeing her temper subside, the heartless bastard opposite immediately took advantage of the situation: "Mom, did you receive the things I mailed to you? I picked them up on Shanghai Island with someone when I went to the South Island for fun. I bought them at the seafood market. The cheapest was only a dozen or so yuan per pound. I picked them up for a week. Sometimes when the tide was high at night, we had to get up in the middle of the night to pick them up (the joy of going to the sea is just like when I was a kid, catching loaches in the mud ditch).
I had it packed up for you so you could eat it easily and mailed it home. Don't lose it! The handling fee is over a hundred yuan. Oh, and I've picked out a lot of pearl jewelry for you. They're made in my friend's factory, so they're absolutely authentic. Especially the colorful ones, the ones with gold and silver inlays, which cost over a thousand yuan ex-factory. Don't give them to your aunts just because you're so happy! Even the cheapest white pearls there would cost a couple of thousand yuan each in jewelry stores around here, and a set would start at five thousand. If you have a brain malfunction and regret it later, don't blame me."
"When I hear you talking now, I want to die." Mother Xiao pounded her chest and muttered in her heart: My dear son, my dear son, my dear son!
"Uh, Mom, please don't! I won't be going back for the New Year."
"From what you said, you didn't go home for the New Year, so you've done a great deed?"
"No, mainly because I'm afraid you'll miss me too much."
"...Xiao Yu, although you..., Mom hopes you won't deceive other people's feelings."
"ah?"
"I heard that the girl is from the capital. If she knew you, what would you do?"
"Haha, Mom, we're not that kind of relationship. She's just a little girl, about the same age as my sister. How could I possibly like her? Even if I did, I'd only like someone like her uncle. It just so happened that she and her brother went over there that day and saw me..."
"What did you say?"
"Ah, I, did I say anything? Haha, I, I was just thinking, his uncle is the big boss of the Qintian Group! There's a reason for being young, I just had a fleeting glimpse of him and admired him very much. Haha, by the way, Xiao Zheng later gave Li Xiaobao, the son of the hotel owner, a red envelope. Inside was a bank card with 50,000 yuan."
"fifty thousand?"
"...Yes." Xiao Yu: This is the first 'vaccination'.
"Then your cousin is really rich."
"I guess he doesn't want to owe others a favor."
“…”
"Huh! It's finally over." Xiao Yu hung up the phone. His mood, which had been gloomy for three days, suddenly brightened up. Even the heavy snow that had fallen in the capital for three consecutive days outside the window and the icicles on the window eaves that looked like curtains seemed lovely.
As his mood improved, Xiao Yu could no longer stay in the study room and strolled out of the study room with his teacup in hand. He happened to meet Zhou Yanzhi who was coming out of the study room on the other side.
"Hi, bro."
Zhou Yanzhi raised an eyebrow and looked at the man in front of him who had been in a daze for three days: "Is the matter resolved?"
"Well, my mother is not angry anymore."
"...That's good." Zhou Yanzhi (ーー;):...He is so heartless. Fortunately, my mother-in-law is not around. Otherwise, seeing this, I would have to add a meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.
Xiao Yu had no idea how annoying Zhou Yanzhi found his outward display of emotion, as bright as the sun. Seeing the other person holding a coffee cup, he grabbed it and said, "I'll make it for you."
"Then make me some black tea." The kid's coffee making skills are really not good.
"Black tea? By the way, how about milk tea? I remember it's made by frying black tea, adding brown sugar and then milk, something like that. I'll go give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll just use the old-fashioned milk tea making method I learned from Taiwan." Xiao Yu said, and ran away in the thick furry slippers he had specially bought at the mall when he came back last time.
"..." Zhou Yanzhi looked at the little boy who was dressed in furry clothes and looked like a white rabbit spirit. He had the urge to hold his forehead. He could see that the little boy was really excited at the moment.
Zhou Yanzhi looked at his watch. It was exactly noon. After returning from abroad, he had been busy with the group's affairs for a week. For the past three days, he had been working from home to deal with some confidential matters.
"Buzz buzz buzz..." The cell phone in my pocket rang.
Zhou Yanzhi took it out, glanced at it, and picked it up. Something was said quickly on the other end, and he pondered for a moment: "I understand. I'll bring someone over in a week at most."
“…”
"…Tell him he can apply, but it must be mutually agreed. The contract must be issued by the General Administration."
“…”
"I won't accept any rebuttal. This is China."
Come down from upstairs and into the kitchen.
The children were already busy at the counter in the Western-style kitchen, where flour, brown sugar and other items were placed.
"What are you doing?" Aren't you talking about making milk tea?
"Making pearls? Drinking milk tea without pearls is not a good thing. And after thinking about it, I think I should use the method I am familiar with to make milk tea, otherwise it will easily go wrong."
Zhou Yanzhi-_-||: ...He seemed to just want to drink a cup of tea.
"Brother, wait a minute, I'll be quick."
“…”
Zhou Yanzhi pulled over a high stool outside the stage and sat down, watching the children busy themselves.
The children seem to be very talented and patient in making food. Although the food they make may not be as delicious as private dishes or royal chefs, it has a homely feel.
The same was true when he was making the pearls. He carefully rubbed each small pearl in his palm during a series of skilled operations. He even scorned others who wanted to help him, and even those who were particularly thoughtful would infuse their spiritual energy into it.
The 'pearl' that has been infused with spiritual energy has a faint halo that is invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people. At first glance, you would mistake it for a real pearl.
After the prepared pearls are sifted into powder, they are put into a pot and cooked, and then rinsed with cold water.
Then dice the ready-made pudding and fruit.
Then boil water to make tea.
During this process, after Zhou Yanzhi's suggestion, the two decided to have lunch with the Cantonese snacks and pastries that Uncle Qi had brought in the morning from the refrigerator.
Let's work together and put the snacks you want to eat into the steamer or oven.
Before the tea was ready, the fried chicken nuggets, banana pie, taro pie heated in the oven, and the hot dogs made into little octopuses that the children had added themselves were already placed on the counter.
While waiting for the tea to be steamed, the various snacks in the steamer are also ready.
