◎Meeting an old friend in a foreign land◎
Wei Xuan and Jiang Che planned to stay in Guangzhou for a few more days this time, so in addition to handing over the affairs of the clothing store to Jiang Sanjie, the accounts of the grain store were also handed over to Wang Xiaomei. She was responsible for the accounting and then transferring the daily turnover to Jiang Sanjie, asking her to deposit it in the post office together with the clothing store.
As for the braised meat, Wei Xuan only needs to prepare the ingredients in advance and there won't be any problem. After this period of training, Lu Fangfang is no longer as panicked as she was when she made the braised soup by herself for the first time.
Although Wei Xuan did not tell her the specific recipe of the stew, as she gained more experience, she became more and more adept at the amount of ingredients to be added each time.
After finishing all the work matters, Wei Xuan and Jiang Che came to Jiang's house the night before leaving for Guangzhou.
Since I might have to stay there for ten days or half a month this time, I must come to the Jiang family to tell them. And as for Yuanyuan, I can't come to pick her up in the short term, and I have to let her know why, so as not to make the child think too much.
Jiang's father and mother were not very talkative. They knew that they were going there for important business, so they didn't say much and just reminded them to be careful when they were out.
But this time Yuanyuan was not easy to coax.
That's right. She has been sent to the Jiang family since the clothing store opened. It has been more than ten days. Now they suddenly say that she will stay for another half a month. No wonder the child is emotional.
...
...
In the end, Wei Xuan promised her a lot of unfair terms and toys, and she pouted and nodded reluctantly in agreement.
Seeing this, Jiang's mother said, "Okay, you can rest assured that the child is here. But after you go to the hospital for a checkup, remember to call me and your father and let us know what's going on."
Wei Xuan nodded in agreement.
Jiang Che said, "Don't worry about this. I've already told Third Sister that if there's something going on in the store, just come home and wait for my call. I'll definitely call you back often to ask about the situation."
When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she rolled her eyes in anger. How could she be so annoying that she had to use the family phone to serve him even when everyone was out? Moreover, if her sister-in-law came to use the phone, she would definitely stay at home for dinner in the evening. The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became.
Jiang Che and Wei Xuan didn't want to take advantage of their family, because they couldn't find any other landline phones for them to use except the Jiang family. Wei Xuan wanted to install one in her own store, but when she went to the telecommunications bureau to inquire, she found out that the installation fee was more expensive than the phone. It's not like you can install it whenever you want. Just sign up and wait in line. As for how long you have to wait, who knows? Anyway, private enterprises have to wait in line. It's normal to wait for half a year.
Wei Xuan was so angry that she went back and told Jiang Che that she wanted to complain about them.
Of course, it's just talk. Not to mention the telecommunications bureau, now no matter where you go, you'll have the same service attitude. She can't complain to everyone one by one. Forget it, reality will teach them a lesson and there's no need for her to interfere.
Mrs. Jiang could only think about her own thoughts. Not to mention that the Jiang family was still headed by Jiang's father and it was not her turn to interrupt, the phone was specially installed for Jiang's father by the factory to facilitate his work.
So as long as Jiang's father doesn't say anything, other people's opinions don't matter.
Not only did Jiang's father not say much, he also agreed with Jiang Che's behavior.
Ever since Jiang Che lost his job, he has paid special attention to the business of their store, fearing that if something goes wrong, his son and his family will be left homeless on the streets.
Now Jiang Che is going to accompany Wei Xuan to Yangcheng for an inspection and to purchase goods. Whether for official or private reasons, he has no reason to object. But at the same time, he also has a vague worry in his heart. He is worried that they will be away for so long and the business of the store will be handed over to their little girl. Will she have the ability to help her youngest son take care of the store?
After learning that Jiang Che would not completely ignore his business affairs just because he went to Yangcheng, Jiang's father was much more satisfied. Of course, he fully supported his son's arrangement. As long as he could get the news of the store in time, even if there was a little problem, he believed that his son would be able to solve it in time.
To reassure the two, he said, "You'll be away for so long this time, you really can't just let go of the business. I heard the clothing store has only been open for a few days, so you definitely can't just ignore it at this critical juncture. You can trust your third sister, but you may not be able to trust her ability to handle problems, so just in case, you should try to call her every day to communicate. There's a phone at home, so don't be afraid of trouble."
Father Jiang's words showed that he was very considerate of them. Wei Xuan and Jiang Che looked at each other and gratefully agreed.
They had to get up early the next day to catch the train. After having dinner at Jiang's house and coaxing Yuanyuan to sleep, they went home to rest without staying for long.
In addition to Wei Xuan and her husband, Cheng Shao also went to Yangcheng this time.
As for Fang Jing, after talking to Wei Xuan last time, she decided not to go for the time being. The main reason was that her situation was different from Wei Xuan's. She had imported a lot of goods last time, and she didn't think it was necessary to get new goods so quickly. Of course, the most important point was that she really didn't want to take a train back and forth for several days and nights, so she was lazy.
Wei Xuan privately told Jiang Che about her choice. She thought Fang Jing was just rich and willful, and she probably opened the clothing store just to kill time because she was bored.
While she envied this kind of life with money and leisure, she also felt that she might never be able to learn Fang Jing's open-mindedness.
Perhaps influenced by her past life, that feeling of powerlessness was really too unbearable, so now that she has the ability, she wants to grab everything she can.
Everyone’s life is different, and it is impossible to judge whether it is good or bad. As long as you can bear it and feel happy, that’s enough.
Just like last time, the three of them arrived in Guangzhou after taking a train for a day and a night.
They went to the same guesthouse as last time and booked two rooms. They simply washed up and rested until noon, then the three of them went out to eat again.
After dinner, Wei Xuan planned to go to the clothing wholesale market in the afternoon and asked Cheng Shao whether he wanted to go with them or go alone.
Cheng Shao thought for a moment and said, "Then I'd better go with you. I've never been there before, so it's good to go and take a look."
Wei Xuan smiled and said, "You can go and pick out some clothes for your two sons and Qianqian. The clothes there are really nice."
When they arrived at the wholesale market, Cheng Shao started picking out clothes just as Wei Xuan had said. He not only picked out clothes for his children and wife, but also for himself.
The wholesale market was so huge, and there were so many styles of clothing that he was dazzled and wanted to buy them all.
Section 81
Seeing him like this, Jiang Che seriously slowed down their pace and said, "You go shopping first, we'll meet at the door later. Your sister-in-law and I are going to choose some styles for the store."
Cheng Shao waved his hand at them without even turning his head, saying, "Okay, I'll take a look. You guys go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me."
Seeing Cheng Shao's eyes almost glued to those clothes, Wei Xuan said with a smile: "Why didn't I realize that Cheng Shao loves beauty so much before?"
Jiang Che didn't have the time to care about what Cheng Shao was thinking. He carefully protected Wei Xuan as she walked forward, fearing that she would be bumped into by others.
Wei Xuan's main purpose of choosing styles this time was to test and learn, so she didn't buy many of each style.
Anyway, she still has to stay here for half a month. When the time comes, she can just place an order based on whichever style sells best.
After walking around for more than two hours, Jiang Che was afraid that Wei Xuan was tired, so he asked her if she wanted to go back first.
Wei Xuan thought about it and realized that she had already selected more than a dozen styles today, so it should be enough. She nodded and left the wholesale market under Jiang Che's escort.
As soon as I got outside, I saw Cheng Shao already waiting there with a lot of bags.
He saw the two men coming out empty-handed, so he asked, "Where are the goods you bought?"
"Just choose and ask the boss to send it back to Beijing. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to carry so many goods back and forth."
Hearing this, Cheng Shao looked at the things in his hand and wondered whether he also needed to go to the post office to send the things.
Jiang Che didn't care what he was thinking. He helped Wei Xuan walk to the side of the road and called a car.
It was almost five o'clock when the three of them returned to the guesthouse. After Cheng Shao went in to put down his things, they went out together to find a place to eat. When they returned to the room at night, Jiang Che said to Cheng Shao, "We have something to do tomorrow morning. You can go out for a walk by yourself."
Although he didn't know what Jiang Che and the others were going to do, Cheng Shao tactfully didn't ask.
The next day, Jiang Che brought Wei Xuan to the hospital, and asked the staff of the guesthouse for the address of the hospital.
Probably because of its proximity to the Special Administrative Region, the hospital here did not conduct too many inquiries on the two persons.
The two went directly to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital for a check-up, and the results came out quickly.
After confirming that she was pregnant, both of them were very happy. Although it was not their first child, their joy did not diminish in the slightest.
After leaving the hospital, Jiang Che asked Wei Xuan if she wanted to go back and rest.
Wei Xuan shook her head: "Just stroll around, and then go back after you finish your stroll and eat."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
After lunch, when he returned to the guesthouse, Jiang Che asked the front desk and learned that Cheng Shao had gone out in the morning and had not returned yet, so he knew what was going on.
He was an adult male, and he shouldn't be in any danger in broad daylight. Jiang Che didn't take it too seriously, and went back to the room to sleep with his wife in his arms.
At this time, Cheng Shao met a friend in the unfamiliar city of Guangzhou.
After walking around for a whole morning, Cheng Shao was hungry and was planning to find a place to eat. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw a friend he had met in Beijing before, the one who boasted that he had made a lot of money in the south and bought a car.
And this friend happened to recognize him.
"Cheng Shao?" The friend called him and said something to the people around him, then walked towards Cheng Shao and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you couldn't come last time I asked you?"
Cheng Shao coughed awkwardly. He couldn't say, I didn't come with you because I didn't trust you! He was so annoyed. How could he meet him by chance? Is Yangcheng so small?
Fortunately, this friend just asked casually and didn't intend to get to the bottom of the matter.
When you meet an old friend in a foreign land, and it happens to be lunchtime, your friend will ask you casually: "Have you eaten? I'll treat you to lunch. It just so happens that I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time. Tell me about Beijing."
Then, Cheng Shao followed his friend into a restaurant in a daze.
