Chapter 1933
Zhou Andong pointed at Yu Zhan with his finger, shook his head, and sighed: "You haven't even done anything yet, and you're already this scared. If you two really get married, what will you do in the future? Can you still have your own personality?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Sun Xiaohui knew that if she let Zhou Andong continue, there would definitely be no good words: "Let's go, I'm hungry."
Zhou Andong laughed: "Yu Zhan, put this bag of vegetables in the car. When you go back, you are responsible for helping your wife send them home."
"Yes!" Yu Zhan saluted very seriously: "Guarantee to complete the mission."
Sun Xiaohui rolled her eyes at the two of them and walked towards the car not far away.
Back at the farm, the goose and pork ribs were stewed, and Zhang Chaoming arranged for people to sit down.
"Chairman, drink white liquor or beer?"
Zhou Andong looked at Sun Xiaohui: "What do you drink?"
"Beer!" Sun Xiaohui shook her head: "I'm not used to drinking white liquor."
"Alright!" Zhou Andong said to Zhang Chaoming: "Let's all drink beer."
"Yongchuang Tianya" (beer brand) was brought over, and Zhang Chaoming took a bottle opener and popped the beers open with a series of pops.
Wang Wentian waved his hand: "I won't drink, I have to drive later."
Zhou Andong said with a smile: "We're not going back tonight. Except for Yu Zhan, everyone drink a little."
Sun Xiaohui raised her glass: "Old classmate, I won't say too many words of thanks. Today, borrowing your wine, I'll toast you."
Zhou Andong picked up his glass and clinked it with Sun Xiaohui's: "Today, if you dare to say thank you, our relationship ends here."
Sun Xiaohui drank the wine in her glass in one gulp, then laughed: "With you, I won't be polite."
"That's right."
Zhou Andong, with steady, accurate, and ruthless precision, used his chopsticks to pick out a goose leg.
"How far along is the house renovation?"
Sun Xiaohui picked up a piece of pork rib and put it in the bowl in front of her: "These two days, the electrician is installing switches, sockets, and lights, and then it's time to buy furniture and appliances."
Zhou Andong asked: "Do you have any requirements for appliance brands?"
"No requirements!" Sun Xiaohui said: "This renovation, Xiaobei gave me a big discount, otherwise the money I saved over these years wouldn't be enough.
So, the money in my pocket is almost gone. Appliances are fine as long as they work. What brand? As long as the refrigerator can cool and the TV can show people, that's enough."
Zhou Andong laughed loudly: "Our factory employees buy appliances uniformly. The group will go directly to the manufacturers to negotiate, and it can be much cheaper. I'll register you when the time comes, and we'll buy them together."
"That's great." Sun Xiaohui said happily: "Buying appliances is the most worrying thing. If you like them, they're too expensive; if they're cheap, you don't like them. As soon as you get to the mall, you get dazzled. Now that you're doing it for us, I'll take whatever you buy. That's pretty good."
Sun Xiaohui ate the pork rib in her bowl: "When will your loan be processed? I've almost finished the renovation, and I still haven't paid for the house."
Zhou Andong swallowed the food in his mouth: "I, the one selling the house, am not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"
Sun Xiaohui said with a smile: "Owing people money, especially this much money, makes me feel uncomfortable."
"Then you'll just have to be uncomfortable for a while."
Zhou Andong shook his head, looked at Sun Xiaohui, and just as he opened his mouth to speak, he was interrupted by Sun Xiaohui.
"Are you trying to say that your happiness is built on the suffering of others?"
Zhou Andong said irritably: "Can you not be so smart?"
Sun Xiaohui hummed: "Isn't this your catchphrase?"
"Is it?" Zhou Andong blinked, lost in thought: "How come I don't remember."
Facing so much delicious food, Sun Xiaohui couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him anymore and started eating without regard for her image.
By the time they finished eating, it was already past eight in the evening. Zhou Andong had Zhang Chaoming get Sun Xiaohui a rack of pork ribs, two chickens, and a few catties of beef and mutton.
"Why are you taking so much stuff? The refrigerator at home can't hold it."
Zhou Andong slammed the trunk shut: "Since you came here, I must give you more. Otherwise, Uncle and Aunt won't know what to think of me. Am I, Zhou Andong, that stingy?"
Sun Xiaohui didn't say much, because she knew that whatever she said would be useless.
"Alright!" Sun Xiaohui got in the car: "I'm leaving. If anything happens, call me. You know the team's number."
"Go!"
Zhou Andong waved his hand and watched the car disappear outside the gate before turning to walk to the dormitory.
The Mercedes drove steadily on the road. Sun Xiaohui didn't speak, but watched Yu Zhan sitting straight in the driver's seat, driving attentively. The corners of her mouth naturally curved into a beautiful arc.
It was too quiet. Yu Zhan turned on the radio and coughed.
"That—why aren't you talking?"
The arc of Sun Xiaohui's mouth grew larger: "What do you want me to say?"
Yu Zhan scratched his head: "The house renovation is finished, are you out of money?"
"Yes!" At this moment, Miss Sun's eyes curved: "I don't even have enough money to buy furniture. I was thinking of borrowing some from my colleagues."
Yu Zhan took out a bank card from his pocket without hesitation and threw it back very stylishly.
"There are thirty thousand yuan in this card. Take it to buy furniture, buy better ones."
"Thirty thousand?" Sun Xiaohui examined the card in her hand: "You actually have so much money."
Yu Zhan said honestly: "There was some in the card before, and more than twenty thousand is what I've saved over these two years."
Sun Xiaohui said in surprise: "You saved so much in two years?"
"My salary at Jin Dun Security is eight hundred a month." Yu Zhan started to confess his family background: "Before the new year, I was sent to the Chairman's side, and my salary rose to twelve hundred. Plus monthly bonuses and travel subsidies, I can make twenty-three or four hundred a month."
Sun Xiaohui really didn't expect Yu Zhan's salary to be so high: "Are the salaries of you people who follow Zhou Andong all this high?"
"Only higher than mine, not lower." Yu Zhan continued to confess: "For example, Wentian, he is the team leader, and his salary is five or six hundred higher than ours.
Our previous team leader, his name is Wu Chao, is now sent to the Middle East by the Chairman. His salary is over three thousand."
Sun Xiaohui shook her head with great emotion. The salaries of winery employees were already high. With basic salary plus bonuses, they reached over six or seven hundred every month.
She had guessed in her heart that Yu Zhan's salary must be higher than ordinary employees, but she didn't expect it to be more than three times higher.
Sun Xiaohui tilted her body and reached out to stuff the bank card back into Yu Zhan's pocket.
"When I'm really out of money, I'll borrow from you again."
"If!" Yu Zhan said: "I'm saying if, we really get together, after we get married, is it that you don't want me to live in your house?"
Sun Xiaohui said with a suppressed smile: "What, not using your money hurt your pride?"
"Yes!" Yu Zhan admitted honestly: "I just feel that if we live in your house after we get married, and I haven't contributed at all, I feel uncomfortable thinking about it."
"What's uncomfortable about it?" The smile on Sun Xiaohui's face became brighter: "When we get married, give me your card. In the future, your monthly salary must also be handed over to me, then you won't feel uncomfortable anymore."
"What you said makes a lot of sense." Yu Zhan nodded: "Thinking that the money in the card is all yours, and my salary will also be handed over to you in the future, I feel much more comfortable."
"Pfft!" Sun Xiaohui finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Your Chairman told me that you are dull, clumsy, and can't speak well.
Now it seems that's not the case at all. Your mouth is not only not clumsy, but you're quite good at making girls happy."
"I'm not specifically trying to make you happy." Yu Zhan shook his head in denial: "This is my heartfelt word, and it's also my truest thought."
"Then I believe you." Sun Xiaohui pursed her lips and smiled.
More than twenty minutes later, Yu Zhan parked the car downstairs at Miss Sun's house, then got out to open the trunk and took out the things inside.
Looking at Yu Zhan standing there blankly, Sun Xiaohui said irritably: "What are you still standing there for? With so much stuff, do you intend for me to carry it up alone?"
Yu Zhan stammered: "It's almost nine o'clock, Uncle and Aunt should be asleep. It wouldn't be good for me to go up."
"They won't sleep that early." Sun Xiaohui looked at Yu Zhan: "Even if they are asleep now, do you intend for me to carry all this stuff up alone?"
"That's true!"
Yu Zhan looked at the two nylon bags at his feet, gritted his teeth, bent down to stack the two bags together, then gave a shout and grabbed them to throw onto his shoulder.
"Let's go!"
"Are you okay?" Sun Xiaohui said hurriedly: "Give me one bag, I can carry it."
"No need!" Yu Zhan stepped into the unit door: "This little bit of stuff is nothing."
"Third floor!"
Sun Xiaohui raised her hand to help support the two bags on Yu Zhan's shoulder, and then they arrived at the third floor.
"East unit!"
Sun Xiaohui said, took out the key, and opened the door.
Sun Jinshan and Yang Yingjie were sitting on the sofa watching TV. Hearing the door, they turned their heads to look at the same time. Just as they were about to ask why they were back so late, they saw their daughter flash back, and a man carrying two large bags entered.
"Uncle, Aunt, hello."
Yu Zhan put down the two bags and bowed respectfully to Sun Jinshan and Yang Yingjie.
Yang Yingjie reacted the fastest. Her face, which was originally a bit dazed, was immediately replaced by a bright smile.
"Oh my!" Yang Yingjie walked over quickly and grabbed Yu Zhan's hand enthusiastically: "You must be Yu Zhan."
"Yes, Aunt!"
Facing the enthusiasm of his future mother-in-law, Yu Zhan was a bit at a loss.
"This young man, he looks really spirited." Yang Yingjie was more satisfied the more she looked: "Hurry, come over and sit."
Sun Jinshan had no expression on his face, wanting to maintain the dignity of a father-in-law.
Then, he was pushed by Yang Yingjie: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and pour a glass of water for Little Yu."
"Ah? Ah!" Sun Jinshan's dignity wasn't maintained, so he could only turn around to pour water.
At this time, Sun Ming, who was in the room, heard the sound and came out: "Who's here?"
When this guy saw Yu Zhan, he was stunned for a moment, then pointed his finger.
"You you... you you you... you..."
Yu Zhan grinned: "Hello, Comrade Sun Ming. Last time at the department store, I misunderstood. I'm very sorry."
"It really is you." Sun Ming stared, rushing towards Yu Zhan angrily.
"What are you doing?"
Yang Yingjie and Sun Xiaohui shouted at the same time, and both of their hands pointed at Sun Ming simultaneously.
"Uh!"
Sun Ming made an emergency stop, looked at the "Queen of the House" (his mother and sister), and smacked his lips.
"Nothing, I wanted to get a water cup to pour a glass of water for this distinguished guest."
"You don't need to." Sun Jinshan walked over with a cup of hot water and put it on the coffee table: "Little Yu, drink some water."
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Yu Zhan picked up the teacup to drink water, but the water was too hot. He wanted to drink but didn't dare, which made Sun Xiaohui want to laugh.
"This water is too hot."
It was still the mother-in-law who felt sorry for her son-in-law, taking the water cup and putting it down.
"You child, just come if you want, why bring so much stuff?"
"This isn't—"
Yu Zhan was just about to say that he didn't bring it, then was forcibly interrupted by Sun Xiaohui.
"We two went to Tanghezi Farm to play. Yu Zhan is very familiar with the farm's general manager, so we picked some fresh vegetables in the greenhouse and asked for two chickens and a rack of pork ribs, as well as a few catties of beef and mutton."
Yu Zhan looked at Sun Xiaohui in astonishment, only to see the latter glare at him fiercely, warning him not to talk too much.
"Even if you asked for it, don't bring so much. Where are we going to put it?"
Yang Yingjie said, but the smile on her face couldn't hide the joy in her heart.
"You two, why are you still standing there like fools? Hurry up and take the stuff out of the bags. If it stays too long, what if it goes bad?"
Sun Jinshan and Sun Ming looked at each other. Their status at home was about the same. They had originally thought that since their daughter (sister) was dating, their status could rise a bit.
Now it seems that their status at home would be very stable; no one could threaten them.
The two walked over, opened the bags, and seeing the vegetables and meat inside, they were also a bit worried.
"It's not too hot at night now, the vegetables will be fine for three or five days, but what about this meat? Our refrigerator at home is too small, it can't hold it."
"The meat is all frozen, it'll be fine for a night." Sun Xiaohui spoke: "Sun Ming, you divide half of the vegetables, pork ribs, and meat, and send them to your father-in-law tomorrow."
Sun Ming, upon hearing this, immediately got spirited: "What tomorrow? It's only past nine now. I'll call Xiaojuan right now and send it to her house immediately."
"Don't leave tonight." Yang Yingjie said to Yu Zhan: "Stay here tonight."
"Ah?" Sun Xiaohui was anxious: "Where is there room to stay at home!"
"Let Little Yu stay in Sun Ming's room." Yang Yingjie said unquestioningly: "Let Sun Ming stay on the living room sofa."
Sun Ming wanted to struggle a bit and protest, but looking at the vegetables and meat on the ground, the courage to protest immediately dissipated.
After all, these things were brought by this "cheap brother-in-law" of his. Let him stay on the sofa for one night, then.
Yu Zhan didn't even know what was going on, and he stayed at the Sun family for a night in a daze. When he got up early the next morning, he saw Yang Yingjie wrapping dumplings alone.
"Aunt!" Yu Zhan said a bit embarrassedly: "So early in the morning, why wrap dumplings? It's too much trouble."
"It's not trouble at all." Yang Yingjie said with a smile: "Why did you get up so early? Hurry back and sleep a while longer. I'll call you when the dumplings are ready."
"I get up at this time every day."
Yu Zhan went to the kitchen to wash his hands. After coming out, he picked up the rolling pin and started rolling dumpling wrappers very skillfully.
Sun Ming, who was lying on the sofa sleeping soundly, was woken up by the sound of their chatting and could only get up helplessly.
"You're awake!" Yang Yingjie said: "Hurry up and wash your face, wash your hands, and come over to wrap dumplings."
Sun Ming looked lifeless: "Early in the morning, wrap what dumplings? Even if you want to wrap them, can it be later? Look, it's only six o'clock."
"Hurry up and get up." Yang Yingjie glared: "Where is there so much nonsense."
Sun Ming got up, and soon, Sun Jinshan and Sun Xiaohui also got up.
When there were many people, wrapping dumplings was fast. Before seven o'clock, the dumplings were already cooked and placed on the table.
When they finished eating and sent Yu Zhan downstairs, they saw quite a few people surrounding the Mercedes parked downstairs, discussing something.
