482 The first potential guest
At 11:30 in the morning, Fu Yuanhang went to the elementary school to pick up the children on time.
After a morning of in-depth communication, Chenchen and Chen Zigui's relationship as deskmates has developed into good friends who can talk about anything.
Fu Yuanhang was secretly amazed when he saw Chen Chen and a young boy who was slightly taller than him coming out hand in hand.
Chenchen has a lively and cheerful personality, but he is not the kind of child who can easily make friends with others.
The gentlemen of the Fu family are all like this, and their requirements for friends are actually quite high.
Chen Chen saw Fu Yuanhang, let go of Chen Zigui's hand, and ran over: "Uncle!"
Fu Yuanhang took his schoolbag, which was quite heavy. "Have you distributed books?"
Chen Chen nodded: "Yeah, I got new books, and the principal also gave me a pencil case and exercise book."
Chen Chen said, waving to Chen Zigui: "Uncle, this is my deskmate Chen Zigui, can I take him home to have dinner together?"
Chen Zigui probably has a filter not only for dust, but also for the gentlemen of the Fu family.
He also felt that Fu Yuanhang was particularly friendly when he saw him for the first time.
He bowed to Fu Yuanhang and said, "Hello, little uncle. My name is Chen Zigui, and I'm Chen Chen's new deskmate and good friend."
There was no time to dodge, and Fu Yuanhang, who had to accept his salute, said: “…………”
After Chen Zigui paid his respects to Fu Yuanhang, he said to Chen Chen, "Chen Chen, I won't bother you anymore. I'll just find something to eat nearby."
Fu Yuanhang looked at the boy who was wearing a small suit under his coat, with neatly combed hair and a very handsome face and eyes. He thought of Su Taotao's words and thought that he might be able to develop him into the first customer of his restaurant. He said naturally:
"If you don't mind, come along. Chenchen has made friends on his first day of school. We are all very happy for him."
Chen Chen nodded and said, "If you miss this village, you will never see this restaurant again. My mother's cooking is so delicious. Most people can't even eat it if they want to!"
Chen Zigui is actually a person with a strong sense of boundaries. Foreigners attach great importance to privacy. He did not make many friends when he was abroad. After returning to China, he felt a little out of place and kept a distance from everyone. Chen Chen was the first friend he wanted to truly interact with.
Chen Zigui is smart and sensitive, and can easily tell whether others are sincere or not.
He could see that his uncle and Chen Chen were both sincere in their invitation, so he tried to take the first step bravely:
"Then I am sorry to bother you."
Chen Chen smiled and said, "Don't bother them. My grandma and mom will also be happy that I have made friends."
Chen Zigui could see that behind Chen Chen's personality, there must be a family who loved him very much.
This can be seen from the fact that the uncle was the first to take the schoolbag from his shoulders.
Chen Zigui couldn't go to someone else's home empty-handed.
There were only some snacks to prevent hunger and a piece of fruit in his schoolbag.
When he passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, he saw a box of apples for sale, so he hurried over to pick some apples.
"Wait for me."
Chenchen and little uncle looked at each other and said that mom/sister-in-law likes to eat fruits the most.
So the uncle and nephew also went over to pick apples.
"You don't have to buy them, I'll do it. By the way, how many people are there in your family? Are eight apples enough to share?" Chen Zigui asked.
The salesperson said, "Student, although you don't need a ticket to buy apples, the purchase is limited. One person can only buy three at most."
Chen Zigui pointed at them and said, "There are three of us, so let's buy nine."
Salesperson: “…” She might as well have just sold him eight. The ones she promised to leave for others were not enough to share. How could it be such a coincidence that he saw them right after she brought them down?
She could still fool most people, but this guy was wearing a small suit and a small pocket watch. The cashmere coat on him might be worth half a year's salary for her. She really couldn't afford to offend him.
Chenchen blinked, shook his head and said, "You don't have to bring gifts to our house. That would be too polite."
Chen Zigui said: "It's my first time visiting someone, so if I don't find a suitable gift, it's fine, but if I do find one, I certainly can't go empty-handed."
Chen Chen didn't know what to say. If they were in Chen Zigui's shoes, they wouldn't go empty-handed. If he insisted on buying something, they could think of a way to return the gift later.
Fu Yuanhang took Chen Zigui's schoolbag and carried it together, letting him carry the apple himself.
"Wow, this is your house? It's so quaint and has a lot of charm." What Chen Zigui wanted to say was that it matched his name very well and had an ancient feel.
"I'll tell you a secret. We don't live here. My mom is planning to open a small restaurant here. If you don't have a place to eat at noon, you can come here to eat. It's just that it's not open yet. But you can pay for your own meals when you come here in the future."
Chen Chen is not at all embarrassed to invite guests to his own home. Business is business, and personal relationships are personal relationships. They should not be confused. People who cannot even distinguish these two points are not worthy of being friends with him.
Fu Yuanhang: “…………”
He felt that Chen Chen was about to become a spirit.
My sister-in-law hasn't told him anything yet, but he already knows how to promote the restaurant and attract customers to the store!
How about Chen Zigui being friends with Chen Chen? He didn't think there was anything wrong with Chen Chen saying that.
He nodded: "Well, when you open your business, I will be the first to help you!"
There is no one to cook at noon in his house, but his grandfather has maids and guards who can pick him up and take him home for lunch or bring him lunch.
But he thought it was too troublesome, so he just found a place to deal with it himself.
His parents cultivated his independence since he was young, and his grandfather also thought that boys should not be raised to be too spoiled, so he let him do whatever he wanted since he was ten years old.
"Grandma, Mom, we're back. I brought some good friends with me. What do you have for lunch?" Chenchen shouted so loudly that even Old Man Du next door could hear it.
But Old Man Du is not at home today, otherwise Su Taotao would have asked them to eat together.
Before Chen Zigui could recover from the shocking and incongruous sight, he saw the kitchen curtain being gently opened by a pair of pale hands, revealing an extremely beautiful face with a smile on its face:
"It's too cold. Eating mutton hotpot will warm you up."
The voice is also gentle and pleasant.
Chen Zigui finally understood why Chen Chen was so handsome, because his mother was also the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
"Mom, this is my deskmate Chen Zigui. The principal asked us to sit together, so we became good friends."
Su Taotao hugged the child and said, "Not bad, Chenchen made a good friend on his first day of school. It's too cold outside, let's go in first."
Chen Zigui was well-educated. He did not stay looking at Su Taotao's face for too long. He respectfully called her "Grandma" and "Auntie" and handed over the fruit he brought.
Su Taotao smiled and took it: "Thank you, Zigui, how did you know that Auntie likes apples the most? But just buy it this time, don't spend so much money next time."
As soon as Su Taotao saw the child's dress and speech, she knew that he came from a well-off family. She had already bought the fruits, and it would be embarrassing to reject the child's kindness. She could just give him two bags of candy later.
