Chapter 334 I'll Call You Back Later
Si Ning was reading in the room. When he heard the noise, he came out and was stunned by the scene. "What's going on?"
"We just came out too." Old Madam Si looked at the two people fighting.
"Fortunately, the young master and the young lady went to the orphanage." The housekeeper couldn't help but sigh.
He said to the people behind him, "We can't keep this coffee table anymore. Let's go to the warehouse and see if there's a new one. If not, go to Erye's bamboo weaving shop and get a new one."
"There's also the desk lamp and the fruit bowl on the table. Go check and see if there are any new ones."
The person behind him glanced at the sofa and asked, "Do you want to change the sofa?"
"Let's change it. I heard from A Tian that the bamboo weaving shop recently made new rattan sofas, which will be more comfortable to sit on in hot weather." Old Lady Si said.
"Madam, do you still want this sofa?" The housekeeper looked at the sofa.
"If it's not broken, keep it. If it's broken, throw it away." Old Madam Si watched the two people happily fighting, and she didn't know whether the sofa could be saved.
The little animals hatching eggs were watching with great interest, forgetting their previous complaints.
He would comment on the two of them from time to time, wishing he could get involved.
Si Ning watched for a while. Neither of them used any strong blows, and most of the moves were just exchanges. So he became too lazy to watch and went back to his room to continue reading his book.
Miao Jiu and Si Gu were tired from fighting, so they just lay down on the carpet and gasped for breath.
"It seems that after a few years abroad, my skills have improved a lot." Miao Jiu looked at the ceiling.
"It's not as safe abroad as it is at home." Si Gu turned over and sat cross-legged. He turned around and stretched out a hand towards Miao Jiu.
Miao Jiu took his hand and sat up: "How were your years abroad?"
"Not good." Si Gu reached out and took off his glasses.
"Tell me about it." Miao Jiu was quite curious.
"At the beginning, I couldn't speak the language and was bullied everywhere. My money was stolen and my wages were deducted when I worked for others." Si Gu wanted to cry just thinking about it.
"What happened next?" Miao Jiu rested his chin on his knees with one hand and turned to look at him.
"Later, I found a job in a place where Chinese people were, and gradually learned English. I also realized that we were not welcome there."
Si Gu put on his glasses and supported his hands behind his back.
"Brother-in-law, they have a lot of things that we don't have. I really want to bring them back, but there's no way."
"I saw fellow Chinese students there. When I came back, I looked for them, but they didn't want to come back. They thought our country was too backward."
"What about you? Are you disgusted?" It was rare for Miao Jiu to hear him talk so much.
Si Gu shook his head: "No. This is my roots, my home. If it lags behind, then I will work hard to make it not lag behind, so that it can stand on the position of equal dialogue."
Miao Jiu smiled and put his arm around his shoulders: "You didn't bring back any compatriots, but you did bring back a few outstanding foreigners."
"I met them on the road. They came here because they heard it was interesting. I can't guarantee whether they will stay." Si Gu told the truth.
"Even if we don't keep them, we should try our best to squeeze out their value!" Miao Jiu smiled like an old fox.
Si Gu pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled: "That's exactly what I meant."
He stood up and patted his clothes. "I'm going to visit them today. Remember to give me free meals at my brother-in-law's casino and Paramount."
"Your bill can be waived, but theirs can't." Miao Jiu smiled as if he valued money more than anything else.
"Just spare me the trouble. After all, I'm just a translator." Si Gu said and stood up and went back to his room to change clothes.
"Just go despite your injuries!" Miao Jiu shouted behind him.
"I'm just the unpopular third master of the Si family." Si Gu waved his hand indifferently.
The housekeeper came in at this time: "Master Jiu, we need to clean the living room."
Miao Jiu looked at the living room which was mostly destroyed by them, and immediately got up and went back to his room to hang out with Si Ning.
When they saw that there was nothing fun to watch, they lay down quietly again.
When the housekeeper finished cleaning, he looked up and saw the two dogs drooling and smacking their lips, wondering what delicious food they were thinking about.
He smiled and shook his head, but he emptied the living room that was originally full of things, leaving only the nests of a few little guys.
Si Tian happened to be at the bamboo weaving shop today. When he saw the housekeeper coming, he was stunned for a moment: "Did something happen?"
"Second Master, I want to take a set of rattan sofas back home. The weather is getting hot, and the old lady said that rattan sofas would be cooler." The housekeeper said with a smile.
"That's right. My eldest sister is pregnant now. The sofa at home was too soft before. It was a bit difficult for her to sit down and get up." Si Tian was a little annoyed with himself for not thinking it through.
"My aunt also feels hot, so she asked me to pick out some suitable ones to take back." The housekeeper said with a smile.
"You go and choose. Once you're done, I'll have someone send it over." Si Tian asked the housekeeper to choose it himself.
The bamboo weaving shop is doing very well now, and bamboo lanterns are very popular. Now the bamboo lanterns outside Beiyang City are sold by the Qian and Zhang families.
Now they all want to get involved in any business that the Si family has, and they can make more money than before.
"Second Master, the Cai family sent someone to deliver an invitation." Xiao Zhang walked in holding an invitation.
Si Tian reached out and took the invitation from his hand, which was in gold-plated font.
He opened it and took a look. It said that everyone in the Si family was invited to the theater to listen to a play the day after tomorrow.
"Is anyone in the Cai family celebrating their birthday the day after tomorrow?"
Xiao Zhang shook his head: "I haven't heard of it. Why don't I go and ask around now?"
Si Tian nodded and asked him to inquire.
"Wait." He called out to Xiao Zhang, who turned around and took a few steps.
"Second Master, do you have any other instructions?" Xiao Zhang asked.
"You can go find Meng Yanxin directly. She should know." It would be better for Si Tian to find someone who knows than to let him go around asking around like a headless fly.
"Okay, I'll go now." Xiao Zhang immediately went to find Meng Yanxin.
Meng Yanxin was writing a report in the newspaper about bandits looting the village yesterday. There were some photos next to the table, which were also to be published in the newspaper.
"Yanxin, Mr. Si Er's driver is looking for you." A person from the newspaper shouted at her.
Meng Yanxin looked up and saw Xiao Zhang standing not far away, waving at him and asking him to come over.
After Xiao Zhang thanked the person just now, he walked towards her and said, "Ms. Meng."
"Please sit down. Is there anything I can help you with?" Meng Yanxin pointed to a stool beside him and asked him to sit down.
"The second master asked me to ask you if you know if anyone in the Cai family has a birthday the day after tomorrow, or if there is any big event?" Xiao Zhang explained his purpose.
"Cai family? The day after tomorrow?" Meng Yanxin frowned slightly.
"Yeah." Xiao Zhang nodded.
Meng Yan thought about it and realized that she didn't seem to have received any news about the Cai family's recent activities. However, Si Tian sent someone to ask, so he must want to know some information.
"You go back first, I'll call your Second Master back later."
