Chapter 1976

~5 min read 835 words

Ye Chen's arrival made Auntie Li especially happy.

She let Li Xiaofen close the store early and took Ye Chen, Li Xiaofen, and Claudia to the market to buy ingredients.

In the market, Auntie Li didn't forget to buy a portion of every ingredient she was good at, saying she must cook a sumptuous dinner to welcome Ye Chen.

After Ye Chen bought the ingredients with them, he got into Li Xiaofen's car and headed to Auntie Li's home in Vancouver.

After Li Xiaofen came to Canada, she got her driver's license and bought a second-hand Chevrolet sedan, driving Auntie Li and Claudia back and forth between home and Chinatown every day.

Ye Chen didn't expect Li Xiaofen to buy such a second-hand low-end sedan and couldn't help but ask her: "Xiaofen, why don't you buy a better car?"

Li Xiaofen smiled and said: "A car is just a means of transportation, no need to buy one too good. Second-hand cars are cheap, and insurance is also cheap, which can save a lot of expenses. Scratches don't hurt either. This car has a small displacement and low fuel consumption, which is practical."

Ye Chen said seriously: "At least buy a new car. I'll give you one later."

Li Xiaofen hurriedly said: "Brother Ye Chen, you must not give me a car. Even if you give it to me, I won't drive it. You know my person, I grew up in a welfare home and have been diligent and thrifty since I was a child. I don't have any special pursuit of material things. Besides, my life now is much, much better than when I was in the welfare home. I'm satisfied."

As she said this, she gave a giggle and said: "Maybe I don't have the life to enjoy it."

After hearing this, Ye Chen nodded with empathy.

In fact, like Li Xiaofen, he has no special pursuit of material things.

If it were just him alone, he would have no requirements for food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

A car is also indifferent to him. Strictly speaking, he still doesn't have a car of his own. Usually, when he goes out, he either drives Xiao Churan's car or Xiao Changkun's car...

As for the cars others give him, he is not interested at all.

So, he also understands Li Xiaofen's diligence and thrift.

If a person has no high requirements for material things, then too good material conditions will make her feel at a loss.

The house Tang Sihai bought for Auntie Li is not far from Chinatown. It is the best and most expensive Chinese community near Vancouver's Chinatown.

This is a very typical North American single-family villa. Although the villa only has two floors above ground, it covers a large area, and the courtyard and the green space in front of the door are even larger, giving people a very spacious and comfortable feeling.

This also made Ye Chen sigh that the greening area of each household in the community where Auntie Li lives is even larger than his home in Tomson First Grade. This is the advantage of a vast land and sparse population.

The whole community is built very loosely, looking more like a large park, and the environment is very good.

Almost all the people who can be seen in the community are Chinese. Chinese people living here, even without any English foundation, will not be affected at all.

For Chinese immigrants who have no English foundation and are not accustomed to Western life, it is indeed very friendly.

Li Xiaofen parked the car and couldn't wait to take Ye Chen into the house to visit.

North American houses are not allowed to be sold as roughcast. Basically, they are all fully decorated and equipped with home appliances before being sold. So this house is decorated very exquisitely, and the supporting furniture and home appliances are all international big brands, and the overall grade is very high.

After Ye Chen visited, he was also quite satisfied with this house. It seems that Tang Sihai really didn't treat Auntie Li badly. Such a house in Vancouver can definitely be considered a luxury house.

As soon as Auntie Li entered the house, she hurried to the kitchen to arrange dinner, and Claudia followed her to help.

Ye Chen originally wanted to help, but was driven out by Auntie Li. In her words, Ye Chen is a guest from afar, so there is no reason for a guest to be in the kitchen.

Seeing her firm attitude, Ye Chen didn't insist anymore.

Li Xiaofen took this opportunity to take Ye Chen to visit this villa properly.

At eight o'clock, with Claudia's help, Auntie Li prepared a sumptuous dinner on the table.

Li Xiaofen took a bottle of juice from the refrigerator and said to Ye Chen with a giggle: "Brother Ye Chen, there is no one drinking at home, let's use juice instead!"

Ye Chen nodded, took the juice, and poured four glasses.
