Chapter 366: I have money but nowhere to buy it
Time passed quietly and the Chen family moved back to the compound.
Many people in the compound couldn't help but think of the rumors spread by the Xiao family: the Chen family was scared away,
It's only been a few days and I've been slapped in the face!
Thinking of the two stupid people of the Xiao family, he suddenly felt strong contempt for them. Even the old man couldn't stand them doing bad things.
Is this retribution?
Even though the matter of the old man of the Chen family was let go and he did not receive any punishment, everyone showed goodwill towards the Chen family.
The Chen family felt the friendly gazes of the crowd and took the opportunity to strike up a conversation. In this way, the Chen family's popularity index continued to rise.
That morning, Jenny and her family arrived at the gate of the compound in a Hongqi sedan, surrounded by security guards, drivers and others.
People living in the compound soon heard that the Chen family had guests, and the guests were riding in a Hongqi sedan.
Everyone came out curiously to check and found that it was a foreigner with a high nose and blue eyes.
I inquired out of curiosity and was surprised to find out who the ambassador and his family were.
I didn’t expect that Old Man Chen actually knew international friends.
Chen Kexin got the news and went to the gatekeeper to lead the guests in.
Jenny asked her men to take down several gift boxes of different sizes from the car.
The whole family warmly welcomed Jenny and Henry's family from the other side of the ocean.
Although they did not speak the same language, not only was Chen Kexin the translator, but Jenny also brought another translator.
Among the guests this time were not only Jenny and her husband, but also their two children, eight-year-old John and six-year-old Mary.
The two children are very beautiful, like dolls.
Chen Kexin took out various small cakes and snacks that she had prepared, and the children quickly became familiar with each other while eating and chatting.
The three little kids, Keai, adorable and Ping'an, remembered their sister's words and kept showing their kindness to the two foreign kids.
They quickly learned a few words of English and kept joking around.
The two little ones, John and Mary, also learned Chinese from the Chen family's children. Their stiff Chinese pronunciation caused bursts of laughter from everyone. The laughter continued to spread, making the Chen family seem quite lively.
After everyone chatted for a while, Wang Qiaolian came out of the kitchen and signaled to Ke Xin.
Chen Kexin said to Jenny and others, “The food is ready. We didn’t hire a chef. It’s just a home-cooked meal. Do you want to eat now?”
Jenny smiled and said, "Okay! Sister Kexin, we are here to eat home-cooked food. I think it tastes better than those famous restaurants."
"Sister Jenny, you're so kind!"
Because there were so many people, two tables were placed in the living room.
When the food was served, the aroma wafted out.
There are ten dishes including braised pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, goose, braised pork, braised pig's trotters, fish, shrimp, crab, etc.
Of course, rice wine, wine and fruit wine are indispensable on the dinner table.
Mrs. Jenny ordered a glass of wine, and after taking a sip, her eyes suddenly lit up.
I couldn't help but praise: "This tastes better than Lafite 61!"
Of course Chen Kexin knew that the best years of Lafite were 1961, 1982 and 2010.
Today, only the 1961 Lafite is famous.
"Sister Jenny, thank you for the compliment. I bought them from my friend, as well as the rice wine and fruit wine. I'll try them later. If you like them, I'll give you two bottles."
"Your friend is very powerful, so I won't be polite!"
"We sisters are welcome!"
Mrs. Jenny picked up a piece of goose, tasted it, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Not bad, it's the taste I like!"
John and Mary's eyes lit up, and they praised while eating: "Mommy, it's delicious..."
Madam Jenny said in a doting tone: "I knew you liked to eat it!"
Chen Kexin smiled and said, "Brother John and sister Mary, eat as much as you like. When you leave, I will bring you two live chickens and geese. You can eat them whenever you want."
Six-year-old Mary opened her amber eyes and asked incredulously, "Really?"
Ping An took over and said, "Of course it's true. I'd be a puppy if I lied to you!"
Mary smiled contentedly, "Great, I'll ask Mommy to give you lots of gifts."
Chen Kexin didn't expect that such young children knew about interpersonal relationships. It can be seen that Mrs. Jenny has given them a good education.
Mrs. Jenny secretly congratulated herself on having brought quite a few gifts, and said gratefully, "Thank you for the expense!"
Chen Kexin said seriously: “Sister Jenny, you’re welcome, I also want to thank you and your brother-in-law for the gift.”
"You have helped us a lot, and you deserve the rewards."
The old man smiled and said, "As the saying goes: If you are destined to meet, you will meet even if you are thousands of miles apart; if you are not destined to meet, you will not even know each other. In the future, you sisters should visit each other often."
These words touched Jenny's heart, and she raised her glass with sincerity, "Sister Ke Xin, cheers to our friendship!"
Chen Kexin picked up the wine glass and said, "Sister, I'm still young. I can't drink too much. I'll do my best."
"It was my sister's fault for neglecting it. I'll do as you say!"
The meal was held in a cordial and friendly atmosphere. After the meal, the two little ones, John and Mary, had bloated stomachs and fell asleep.
Jenny said apologetically: "These two children like to take a nap, we have to go back."
“Sister Jenny, wait!”
After Chen Kexin finished speaking, she gave the guests various kinds of wine, a big goose, an old hen, and four pearl bracelets.
These pearls came from the space stream. Last night she thought that Jenny and others would definitely bring gifts when they came to visit, so she wanted to prepare a return gift.
She came to the space and looked around, and saw that the pearl oysters at the bottom of the river had doubled in size over the past few months.
Even more pleasing is the appearance of a number of small pearl oysters, which are densely packed in the river and seem to be quite numerous.
She fished out a large pearl oyster, opened it with great effort, and found a pearl inside. The pearl was as big as a fingernail.
These pearls are made into bracelets that are not only fashionable and elegant, but they must contain spatial energy and are also beneficial to health if worn regularly.
She pried open a few of them, took out the pearls inside, and used her mental power to drill holes in them to make four bracelets.
These four pearl bracelets are so expensive that you can't even buy them even if you have money.
Mrs. Jenny took the pearl bracelets gratefully and said with a smile on her face, "Sister Ke Xin, I like these pearl bracelets very much. Thank you!"
"We sisters don't need to be polite!"
"Yes, you're welcome!"
After seeing off a few foreigners, Chen Kexin opened the gifts they brought and was immediately surprised.
Among them was not only a camera, but also four sets of luxuriously packaged Chanel cosmetics and four pairs of gold bracelets.
Wang Qiaolian was surprised and said, "Kexin, this is too expensive!"
"Mom, their generosity is indeed great. The gifts I gave them are also because I have money but nowhere else to buy them."
The old man nodded appreciatively and said, "The gifts they gave are indeed valuable, but the gifts we gave are good for our health, and we have no place to buy them even if we have money."
Chen Kexin immediately understood that her grandfather agreed with her.
"Grandpa, when I have time, how about I prepare a bracelet for everyone in the family?"
The old man smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, no hurry!"
Chen Kexin suddenly realized that her grandfather was jealous of the bracelet.
To be honest, she really wanted to prepare one string for each family member. Perhaps it was because it was the first time that she used her mental power to drill holes and she didn't know how to do it. After drilling holes in the pearls of just four strings of bracelets, her mental power was exhausted.
Just before falling asleep, I slapped my head and remembered that I could buy a hole punch online...
