Chen Jixing looked around the suite and asked, "Is this the house that the shipyard allocated to Gu Qi?"
"Yes." Chen Xingling went into the kitchen and poured him a cup of winter melon tea. "This was distributed before the New Year."
Chen Jixing asked again: "Gu Qi hasn't come back yet? I heard he was on a business trip. Where was he on a business trip?"
"I don't know." Chen Xingling briefly explained, "I've been away for more than a month, and I don't know exactly when I can come back. It's summer already."
Chen Jixing drank winter melon tea while touring the house.
"It's a pretty spacious place, but it's a little small for your brother-in-law and his wife. I'll ask my friends to find a piece of land nearby and build a few houses for you to live in."
"No need." Although Chen Xingling was used to Fourth Brother's generosity, he was still shocked by his tycoon-like generosity. "Fourth Brother, this place is enough for the time being, don't waste money."
Chen Jixing drank the last sip and glanced at her lovingly.
"What? Have you grown estranged from your fourth brother after not seeing him for so many years? Each of my brothers has a house, and most of them were built with money I gave them. Naturally, I left one for you as well."
Chen Xingling shook his head: "The land in the city is expensive, but it is not cheaper than the land we have over there. Fourth brother, you work so hard to make money, you should save it up and quickly marry me a fourth sister-in-law."
The fourth brother started as a small seaman and has now become a cadre seaman. He has been drifting on the vast ocean for many years, and encountering a storm is a matter of life and death. The hardship and danger involved can be imagined.
No one's money comes from the wind. Fourth brother's salary is very high, but that money was earned with his life. She couldn't bear to take his money.
"I don't need to spend money to marry a wife!" Chen Jixing shrugged and laughed evilly, "I'll be able to bring one back sooner or later. Lingling, don't be polite to Fourth Brother. There are quite a lot of vacant land near the river, and the place is quite prosperous. I'll ask my friend to find a way to buy a piece nearby, and try to choose one with convenient transportation."
"No need!" Chen Xingling refused: "I have a place to live now, there's no need to buy one."
Chen Jixing waved his hand: "It's not necessary now, but what about in the future? Everyone in the family knows how your mother-in-law treats you. If you don't have your own house in the future, she will pester you again sooner or later. Stop, I will discuss this topic with you when I have time. Is everything tidied at home? Let's go home quickly!"
Little Tiger quickly stuffed his building blocks into the cloth bag and shouted, "Fourth Uncle! I'm fine!"
"You work really hard!" Chen Jixing gave a thumbs up and praised with a smile: "You are worthy of being my nephew! You have the working style of our Chen family!"
"Wait a moment." Chen Xingling smiled and said, "It's hot, I'll get some winter melon tea to drink on the way. Oh, right! I have to bring more fried noodles back. The children love the fried noodles I make. They told me to bring more this time. I can't let them down."
Chen Jixing picked up the little tiger and smiled dotingly, "Okay, okay, I won't rush you. Take your time packing and don't forget anything."
A few minutes later, Chen Xingling posted the note on the door, picked up his bag and hurried downstairs.
Little Huzi was already getting along very well with his fourth uncle and was having a lot of fun playing at the stairs.
Chen Jixing took the big bag from his sister and then held her hand.
"I haven't been to the shipyard for many years, and it seems to have changed a lot. When the big ship entered the port yesterday evening, I took a few glances from afar and found that the shipyard has expanded a lot. Yes, Gu Qi's unit is developing well, and his future will be brighter."
Chen Xingling held his son's hand with his other hand and said with a smile, "It's OK. The shipyard is getting bigger and bigger, and the benefits for the employees are getting better and better."
The three of them walked happily towards the north gate.
Suddenly, a horn sounded from behind!
"There's a car!" Chen Jixing pulled his sister to his side, and then hugged Xiaohuzi, allowing the jeep to pass smoothly.
At this time, the person in the passenger seat leaned out of the window.
"Auntie Tiantian!" Little Tiger suddenly shouted.
Chen Xingling took the opportunity to look at Qin Tiantian and met her half-smiling eyes.
The other person had a look of arrogance in his eyes, and he pulled the corner of his mouth coldly at her, then turned his face away proudly;
Sitting in the driver's seat was a young man, who was none other than the protagonist of the conversation on the tree-lined path at noon - Guo Yujing.
Chen Jixing let them go and asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"
"Gu Qi's fellow countryman." Chen Xingling was too lazy to introduce a disgusting villain. His good mood couldn't be ruined so easily. He smiled and said, "Let's go! Let's be quick. We can't keep Brother waiting for too long."
Isn't it just a jeep? Why do you want to act like a proud cock?
Besides, this jeep is a public transportation tool for factory logistics, not just Guo Jingjing's. She hasn't married him yet, what's there to be proud of!
Chen Jixing laughed and joked, "Brother, I think you've finished your nap!"
That afternoon, everyone moved tables and chairs to sit under the big banyan tree to enjoy the cool air. They chatted around Chen Jixing, drank tea, smoked, and ate peanuts, with bursts of laughter from time to time.
In the evening, the sisters-in-law prepared three tables of sumptuous meals.
After finishing their meal happily, everyone went back to chat under the banyan tree.
Xiao Huzi and his cousins went to the village to watch TV, while Chen Xingling helped his sisters-in-law clean up the dishes while chatting about the fried noodles that were particularly popular recently.
"Sister-in-law!" The sister-in-law asked with a smile, "How did you make it? How can you make it so neat? Each piece is so crispy, just like the biscuits sold in the grocery store!"
"If you ask me, it's even more delicious than cookies! And it's so crunchy when you chew it!"
"The kids ask me for it every day, and if I don't give it to them, they will steal it! My sister-in-law brought it here three or four times in a row, and I hid it again and again, but I still couldn't stop those little brats from stealing it!"
"Sister-in-law, how do you do this? Please teach us!"
Chen Xingling smiled bitterly to himself and pretended to be calm.
"Sisters, it's just kneading the noodles, then rolling them on a wire and frying them. The more neatly you roll them, the more similar the shapes will be when they're fried. Also, just control the frying temperature well, then scoop them out and dry them in time. There's nothing special about it."
I originally wanted to get a few boxes of instant noodles for the kids to fill their stomachs when they were hungry, but I never thought that the kids all loved it so much. It was a big hit, even the two elderly people loved it!
The boss said that every time the water boils, throw the noodles in and stir-fry, then add some fresh shrimp or octopus and oysters, and finally add some oil and chopped green onions, and you can eat it right after it is served.
Unexpectedly, the method is simple and convenient, and the taste is delicious!
Because of the instant noodles, the sisters-in-law and nephews were looking forward to it every day, counting the days for Chen Xingling and Xiaohuzi to return home as soon as possible.
When the sisters-in-law heard this, they immediately became worried.
"Hey! That won't work - none of us know how to make ramen!"
"We eat rice all year round, and many people can't even knead dough, so how can they make ramen?"
"That's right! And you have to make it so tiny - I definitely can't do it!"
"Neither can I!"
The eldest sister-in-law smiled helplessly and said, "My sister-in-law has lived in the north for more than three years, and she can make ramen noodles so well. Each noodle is exactly the same, not too thick or too thin, just the right thickness. We can't make it, so we have to rely on my sister-in-law to make it for us."
Chen Xingling quickly said, "No problem, I'll try to do more in the future."
The sisters-in-law all shook their heads one after another: "You have to go to class and take care of the children, so don't get too tired. Anyway, there is no shortage of food at home."
"Yeah! If you're too busy, don't do it!"
Chen Xingling laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll tinker with it when I have time."
All you have to do is go to the supermarket, unpack a few boxes of instant noodles, throw away the packaging bags and soup packets, and then find a clean bag to seal them up. It's effortless at all.
At this time, Chen Jixing brought over a small plate with a few small teacups on it: "Sisters-in-law, have some tea and take a break."
"Yo! Thank you!"
"Thanks!"
Chen Jixing asked curiously, "What were you talking about just now? Big brother called you over for tea, but you didn't listen."
The sisters-in-law happily explained that the fried noodles made by Chen Xingling were so delicious that everyone in the family was addicted to them. Unfortunately, they didn't know how to make them and were worried about how to make them.
