Chapter 535

After Xiang Jin ate the noodle soup brought back by his brother, she didn't immediately go back to talk to Yan Chen and his friends, but stayed in the kitchen to talk to her grandma and grandmas.

"Grandma, grandma, do you need to peel garlic and trim green onions?"

Grandma Mo smiled and said, "Aren't you going back to accompany the guests?"

Xiang Jin said, "Yan Chen and my brother are here, and they are all Yan Chen's children, and Han Che is familiar to all of us, so it doesn't matter if I'm there or not."

Her grandma said, "Isn't that why he brought a girlfriend with him when he was young?"

Xiang Jin said, "That girl doesn't talk, and I always chat with them there, so it's fine."

Grandma Mo said, "That girl doesn't talk?"

Xiang Jin nodded slightly, "Ah, I seem to be a bit shy, and I'm not one who likes to take the initiative to talk to people I don't know well, so I don't have anything to say to that girl, anyway I'm eating, so I'll stay here for a while, and it's okay to go there later."

The two grandmas nodded, and then her grandma said, "Then peel some garlic for us," she said, and brought the plastic bag containing garlic in front of her.

Sitting in front of the chopping board, Xiang Jin asked while peeling garlic, "Grandma, grandma, what's for dinner?"

Grandma Mo said, "Beer duck, salt-baked chicken, braised tofu, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, boiled beef, cashew nuts and shrimps, fried scallops, steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, cured fish with green peppers, preserved sheep sausage, pepper fish fillets, chopped peppers Fish head, braised pork ribs, hot and sour potato shreds, cold ear shreds, stir-fried eggplant with fragrant dried pork, fried bacon with garlic sprouts, fried fungus with yam, and a vegetarian three delicacies soup, do you think it is enough?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, that's enough, eighteen dishes and one soup, and there are several big dishes in it."

Grandma Mo said, "There are still so many people. There are fourteen people in our family, and there are a few guests. There must be two tables on the big round table."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, yes! But I'm going to make you tired today."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiang Jin's mother, aunt, and Yan Chen's aunt and cousin rushed in, saying they would come to help in the kitchen.

Grandma Mo laughed and said, "Look, you said you were exhausting us, how could we be exhausted? Isn't there so many people here? But no, you all just go out, we don't need you here, here we are two Individuals can be busy."

Naturally, Xiang Jin's mother and aunt were not willing, since their mother-in-law and mother-in-law were not busy with their work, and their juniors could take a break, Xiang Jin's aunt also thought the same way.

The last few people all said in unison, "Xiao Jin, you go out with your sister-in-law to play with you, you are not needed here."

Xiang Jin felt that it was not good for her to "eat" for too long, and she also told people that she, the hostess, didn't like guests, so she obeyed their suggestion, got up and said to her cousin, "Sister-in-law, let's go, We go out, we can't help here, but there are too many people and the kitchen is crowded."

When her cousin saw what she said, she stopped staying in the kitchen. After Xiang Jin went to the sink to wash her hands, the two left the kitchen arm in arm and returned to the reception room.

The reception room was lively. I saw a few elders sitting on one side chatting about their affairs, while a group of young people sat on the other side chatting about their topics. Naturally, the young people also included her brother Xiang Jin and Zeng Haoze. two people.

Zeng Haoze sat next to Yan Chen. After the two of them returned, they automatically gave way to the side. They sat next to their respective husbands, but Xiang Jin was very close to her cousin, so As soon as she sat down, her cousin-in-law approached her and whispered to her.

"We went to see your brother's courtyard in the afternoon, and we thought it was okay. Although the courtyard of his 200-square-meter courtyard is not very big, the structure is relatively compact and reasonable. In addition, the side rooms on both sides of the main house are still total. There are seven rooms, so I still support my parents in buying a courtyard."

Xiang Jin also whispered to her, "Siheyuan investment is still full of prospects," followed by Xiang Jin and analyzed the current economic development trend with her, as well as the future trend of the real estate market.

Her cousin was listening there and nodded frequently, Zeng Haoze also listened very seriously, and then interrupted from time to time, Xiang Jin said, "So, the ones you buy now may be more expensive than the ones we bought back then. Some, but when you wait for a few years or ten years, you will find that it is more cost-effective for you to buy at this time.

Let's not care about the value of that house for the time being. Even if the house is dilapidated and uninhabitable, the land under it is very valuable. By that time, it may be several times, ten times, or dozens of times. value. "

The couple nodded.

Xiang Jin said, "You are soldiers and cannot do business or have side businesses, but uncles and aunts are not, these properties can be owned by uncles and aunts.

Your generation is a soldier, but your next generation may not be able to engage in the same occupation as yours, so these industries can be transferred to your next generation at that time, so I think uncles, aunts and others bought a courtyard house It is still possible.

In fact, to be honest, if you live in a high-rise building for a long time, you will feel depressing, because the height of your floor is always only a little high after the concrete slabs are built up layer by layer. It is not as relaxed and comfortable as a courtyard house. Its surroundings are generally quiet.

Like that kind of high-rise buildings, they are usually built in the downtown area, and the surrounding area is full of traffic all day long, very noisy, and very noisy. Only the kind of houses that are bought in the atrium may be better, next to each other. The one on the road is really uncomfortable, I am quite satisfied with the courtyard house our husband bought," said Xiang Jin's mouth curled up.

Following her cousin, she said, "Well, you can still tell your uncles and aunts about any good investment projects you have in the future. I think you two are quite business-minded."

Xiang Jin said, "We are just average. In fact, no matter what you invest in, you must understand and grasp the market dynamics. Once you understand the market dynamics, you will know whether you should invest or not.

Of course, if there is a good project, we will definitely give advice to our uncles and aunts, but we still need to be cautious when investing is risky. "

Her cousin laughed immediately, "You girl, you are more cautious when you speak."

Xiang Jin said, "It's not prudence. It's the truth. Any investment has certain risks. You can't say that I only accept profits and not losses, right? How can that be? You will take advantage of all good things." However, the result is that he refuses to take any losses? That must be impossible!
However, if uncles and aunts buy courtyard houses, they will definitely not lose money. The reason, we have analyzed for you before. "

Her cousin nodded and said, "Well, I know, don't worry, we won't blame you even if we lose money at that time, we are still reasonable, huh?"

Xiang Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled, "That's right, my cousin's awareness must be higher than ours, otherwise she wouldn't be a military doctor!"

Jiang Han's girlfriend saw Xiang Jin and her cousin whispering, talking and laughing, chatting so happily, with a relaxed and comfortable look, she couldn't help but feel a little envious and a little apprehensive.

Yan Chen's cousin noticed something, and then asked Xiang Jin in a low voice, "If you don't talk to that girl, she must be boring sitting there by herself?"

Xiang Jin whispered to her again, "She doesn't seem to like talking to people very much, so I don't know what to say to her. Oh, forget it, I'd better talk to her, otherwise people will say that It’s not good for the host’s house to treat the guests poorly.”

Her cousin laughed, and then Xiang Jin looked at Jiang Han's girlfriend, "Yuanyuan, where is your hometown? Is it also from our provincial capital?"

The girl Xiang Jin took the initiative to greet her, she was taken aback for a moment, and then replied, "No, my hometown is from Yunnan."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Oh, Yunnan? Yunnan is also pretty good. There are many tourist attractions in Yunnan. Where are you from in Yunnan?"

Then Wang Yuanyuan said, "Dali, Yunnan."

"Oh, Dali? Dali is great. Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, Butterfly Spring, Nanzhao Customs Island, etc., are many famous tourist attractions. Are you Bai or Han?"

Then Wang Yuanyuan said, "I am from the Bai ethnic group."

Xiang Jin nodded, and was about to speak when Wang Yu said, "Mrs. Yan is very familiar with Yunnan. What's the matter, have you two visited there?"

Xiang Jin shook his head, "I haven't been there yet."

Wang Yu said, "Then why are you so familiar with that place?"

Han Che said, "You don't know that, Mrs. Yan was also a top student when she was studying. She and Yan Chen not only dominated the top one or two in their grade for a long time, but also expected to Since they are receiving scholarships, these two people have never paid tuition fees when they were studying, but they still make money from the school, and they use scholarships for their living expenses throughout the year."

Both Wang Yu and Jiang Han were stunned, and Jiang Han said, "Damn, isn't your school's scholarship too generous?"

Xiang Jin said, "It's not as rich as your provincial capital. We just have lower prices."

Han Che continued, "Don't look at Mrs. Yan as a science major, but her grades in liberal arts are no less than those in science, and the map of China is engraved in her mind. It doesn't matter where there are tourist attractions ?”

Xiang Jin said, "Where is it? I still don't know many things, okay, don't put a high hat on me there, I am not as good as there, but some tourist attractions in Yunnan are more famous."

The few people didn't buy into her modesty, so Wang Yu said, "Oh, Mrs. Yan, I heard that your college entrance examination scores were several points higher than the admission scores of Peking University and Tsinghua University. Why didn't you go to Peking University and Tsinghua University instead of choosing Have you studied Fudan?"

Jiang Han and his girlfriend were shocked. Originally, she thought that Xiang Jin married Yan Chen because of her beauty, but now it sounds like it is not, at least not entirely because of her beauty. So she is still so beautiful. Are you talented?

At this moment, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart again. Compared with her, she was simply too far behind, and she felt a sense of inferiority in her heart.

Xiang Jin said, "Aren't I not sure? That's why I didn't fill in Tsinghua University and Peking University in my first choice."

As soon as she said this, Han Che looked at her with amusement. It was okay for her to lie to Wang Yu and Jiang Han, but it was not okay to lie to him, because he knew some of the reasons.

After hearing Xiang Jin's explanation to them, Yan Chen also felt a little guilty and regretful. He thought that if he hadn't confessed his love to her before she went to Shanghai to study, they might really have missed it.

No matter how much she likes herself in her heart, according to her proud temperament, as long as they separate, she will choose to let go of herself slowly, then downplay her feelings for herself, and finally no longer have feelings for herself completely .

Whenever he thinks of this kind of result, he is terrified in his heart. Although he is glad that he expressed his heart to her before she went to Shanghai to study, he also got her love for him from her mouth. However, he still felt regretful in his heart. They did not go to the same university as they agreed at the beginning, and they still separated for more than six years.

Xiang Jin turned his head to look at Yan Chen, and found that his eyes were lowered, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his expression became a little cold. Xiang Jin put his hand on the back of his hand, and Yan Chen Chen raised his head, Xiang Jin smiled slightly at him, Yan Chen immediately curled up the corners of his lips, and wrapped her little hand in his own.

Then they heard Jiang Han say, "It's a pity that such good grades didn't make it to Peking University and Tsinghua University."

Xiang Jin said, "It's nothing, our Fudan University is not bad."

Both Jiang Han and Wang Yu nodded and said, "That is, that is, they are all key universities among key universities."

Han Che summed it up, "Mrs. Yan is not bad for studying in Shanghai, at least she has expanded your family's hotpot business to Shanghai."

Xiang Jin smiled and said, "That is, otherwise it might not be so fast."

Then Wang Yu asked again, "I heard that you also bought a house in Shanghai?"

Xiang Jin said, "Ah, I bought a place to live."

Han Che pouted, did he just buy a place to live?Over the years, the couple have combined more than [-] sets of rooms in Shanghai, and nearly ten shops. The combined real estate and shops in the hands of the two now exceed [-] million yuan. place?Don't be too humble when you speak like this.

However, as Xiang Jin said, he didn't expose it. After all, no one wants to reveal their family background in front of outsiders, and he is the same. A set in the provincial capital, a courtyard house in Beijing, and a house in Shanghai.

Who is here without 300 taels of silver?Isn't that obviously envied, envied and missed?So people like them with a little money in their hands, it's better to keep a low profile as much as possible.

Wang Yu nodded, "It's still pretty good. BJ is a big courtyard house. There is a place to live in Shanghai, and there are houses in the provincial capital. You don't need a place to live anywhere you go?"

Yan Chen said, "There are houses in these three places, but not in other places."

Jiang Han said, "It's okay, it's okay, you are mostly hanging around in these three places, like we don't even have a house now."

Wang Yu also said, "That's right, we still live with our parents. Alas, I don't know when I will be able to buy a house with my own ability. Han Che, you can do it too. Like Yan Chen, there are houses not only in provincial capitals, but also in Shanghai and BJ.”

Han Che said, "I only have one set in one place, and my courtyard house in BJ is only 150 square meters, but it's not as big as Yan Chen's house, and it's only [-] to [-]% new."

Listening to the questions and answers of several people, Yan Chen's cousin and sister-in-law couldn't help laughing in their hearts. It seems that everyone is very cautious and conservative when speaking, and each of them is trying to minimize their family property. , for fear that others would know that they have tens of millions of family property.

Jiang Han said, "Hey, where is it? Take us to see it then?"

Han Che said, "Mine is farther away. It's on the fourth ring road at Jingshan Mountain, but I can take you to see it when the time comes."

Wang Yu asked, "Hey, Yan Chen, what ring are you guys from?"

Yan Chen said, "Inside the second ring."

Wang Yu immediately yelled, "Damn, inside the second ring road, then your house is worth a lot, it's always worth a lot."

Yan Chen said, "It doesn't matter if you live by yourself or not."

Several people nodded, and Wang Yu said, "That's true, but it's still worth the money. Alas, what's the current situation of your BJ's house price?"

Yan Chen said, "Look at the location, look at the real estate, a good location, a good real estate, the price will naturally be expensive, ranging from tens of thousands to tens of thousands, like the location, the quality of the real estate is also average, the price will be more expensive." It should be slightly cheaper, there are three or four thousand, and there are also five or six thousand."

Several people nodded, and then asked Yan Chen, "Then how much is the courtyard in your house per square meter?"

Yan Chen said, "We bought it early. I bought it when I was a freshman. At that time, many people didn't like courtyard houses, but high-rise buildings, so it was cheaper to buy. It only cost a few thousand yuan per square meter. Now it is estimated that two 3 yuan."

"Wow, has it increased so much?" Several people were surprised again, and then Jiang Han asked Han Che, "What about your courtyard house, how much did you pay per square meter?"

Han Che said, "I bought it late, not long ago, and it cost a little over 2."

Several people said that Yan Chen's house was worth buying.

Han Che said, "He is affordable, the area is large, and it is several times cheaper than mine. If I had money at the time and paid more attention to investing in this courtyard house, I would not have spent so much. money."

Wang Yu said, "Oh, dare you buy this courtyard house for investment?"

Han Che said, "It depends on the situation. Anyway, my work focuses on Shanghai and the provincial capital. There are very few people from BJ's side, so I don't live in that house at the moment, so I just put it there for investment. "

Following Jiang Han, he said, "Hey, Yan Chen, you should also go and buy a few pairs of those antique porcelain objects and put them in your home, so that they can match the courtyard of your house. Look at you The furniture is all made of mahogany, so why should the ornaments on it have some value?"

Yan Chen said, "That's not necessary. Why aren't new porcelain and old porcelain all porcelain? If you accidentally drop it and hit it, you will lose a lot of money. At present, I don't have a lot of money, but I can throw it at will."

Several people laughed out loud.

After dinner, on the way back to the hotel, Wang Yu said, "Yan Chen's wife is pretty good, isn't she?"

Han Che said, "Isn't it good enough to attract Yan Chen? Yan Chen is not a person who only cares about appearance."

Jiang Han shook his head and said, "Such a powerful woman, ordinary men can't control her."

Han Che said, "So there must be a man who is more powerful than her to match her. Yan Chen happens to be that kind of man. The more outstanding and capable a woman is, the more powerful she is when choosing a partner. She often looks for someone who is more powerful and powerful than herself, and she looks down on someone who is weaker than her, because she is at a different level of thought and height, so what she looks at is either on the same level as her or It is a higher realm, so that we can have a common language, Xiang Jin is indeed powerful and worthy of admiration!"

Wang Yu and Jiang Han nodded, and then heard Jiang Han's girlfriend ask, "She doesn't seem very big, does she?"

Han Che said, "Well, I'm more than 22 years old, but less than 23 years old."

Wang Yu said, "It's not big, but reading is really good!"

Han Che nodded and said, "Well, it's amazing. Not only did she get a double bachelor's degree, but she also got a postgraduate diploma. Otherwise, Yan Chen wouldn't have been so eager to drag her to civil affairs on the day of her graduation ceremony for her postgraduate diploma. It's all about certificates, and afterwards we couldn't help teasing that Xiang Jin had obtained double certificates that day."

Several people couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this, and then Jiang Han said, "Yan Chen's wife looks very similar to his natal aunt, I thought it was her mother? Take it, isn't it?" , she doesn't look like her at all."

Han Che laughed and said, "This only shows that her father's genes are too strong. To be precise, it's her grandma's genes that are strong. Look, whether it's Xiang Jin, or Xiang Jin's brother, her father, Her aunts are more like her grandma, although there are parts like her grandpa, but less like her grandpa and more like her grandma."

Wang Yu suddenly became interested and began to gossip, "With such a powerful gene, I don't know whose future children will be more like her or Yan Chen?"

Jiang Han said, "We'll only find out after their child is born, and see whether the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind."

Wang Yu said, "I guess there are more people like Xiang Jin."

Han Che said, "It's hard to say, maybe there are more people like Yan Chen."

Wang Yu said, "How about we make a bet?"

Han Che asked, "What are you betting on?"

Wang Yu said, "Just invite everyone to have three seafood meals."

Han Che said, "What's so difficult about this? No problem!"

Wang Yu asked Jiang Han, "What about you? Who do you look like?"

Jiang Han said, "Half and half."

The corners of Wang Yu's and Han Che's mouths twitched, and Han Che said, "You will compromise, and you will have a share in any bet you win."

Wang Yu also said, "That's right, no, no, you don't count! You have to choose one of them."

Jiang Han's girlfriend said, "What if the two of them don't look alike, what about their relatives? For example, like Xiang Jin's natal family, or like Yan Chen's mother, grandpa or grandma. Yes, isn’t there that atavistic inheritance?”

Wang Yu said, "If it's like Xiang Jin's natal family, it proves that Xiang Jin's genes are strong. If it's like Yan Chen's mother, his grandparents must have strong genes on Yan Chen's side. Do I need to ask?"

Han Che said, "That's right, that's right!"

Jiang Han said, "Then I choose Xiang Jin's family's strong genes."

Han Che nodded, "Okay, both you and Wang Yu choose Xiang Jin more like Xiang Jin, and I choose Yan Chen more like Yan Chen, then if I lose, I will treat you to three seafood meals. If the two of you lose, one of you will treat me to three seafood meals."

"But is she so tall? Her husband is also tall, and everyone in their family is tall, especially her brother, his cousin, and her cousin are also tall," Jiang Han said to his girlfriend. Another sentence popped up.

Han Che said, "Xiang Jin's net height is nearly 1.7 meters, and Yan Chen's is 1.8 meters five."

Wang Yu said, "Yan Chen is the tallest among us."

Han Che nodded, "Yes, yes!"

Jiang Han asked Han Che, "Han Che, how tall are you?"

Han Che said, "I'm [-], what about you two?"

Wang Yu said, "I'm one seven eight."

Jiang Han said, "I'm [-]. I don't know how tall Zhao Xiaogang is. Every time I talk to him on the phone, I don't ask."

Wang Yu said, "Oh, Zhao Xiaogang is 1.8 meters three, and that guy is training all his tendons now. I really didn't expect him to choose the profession of special forces."

Jiang Han said, "Yeah, we all thought that he would come back after serving as a conscript for two years, or that he would find a civilian job in the army through the relationship of his family, but we didn't expect that he would go all the way from a recruit. He was selected into the special forces after a lot of trouble, and we haven't seen him for six or seven years, right?"

Han Che nodded, "Well, six years."

Wang Yu said, "If he stays in the army, the chances of the five of us getting together in the future will be even slimmer. Yan Chen is in BJ, Han Che is in Shanghai, Jiang Han is in Qingdao, Shandong. In the provincial capital again, there are five of us, in five different locations, alas, this is the bad thing about people, as long as we grow up, we have to go our separate ways.”

Jiang Han said, "The three of you are better off. Yan Chen and Han Che will go back to the provincial capital from time to time. The three of you have more chances to get together than me. I am alone in Qingdao, Shandong, and I will come back this year to celebrate the New Year. They still change shifts with others.”

Wang Yu reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him, "It's okay, I may travel to you on business when I handle the case in the future, and I will see you then."

Han Che also said, "Maybe Yan Chen and I will go there on a business trip at that time, and we can also visit you at that time."

Jiang Han said, "Aren't you two a BJ and a Shanghai?"

Han Che said, "Yan Chen's architectural design company accepts orders from all over the country. My family is in the catering business, and many of the ingredients are purchased from other places. Maybe one day I will have one or several suppliers. The supplier is from Qingdao, Shandong, and I have to fly there to inspect the goods, or is it just a few hours to negotiate with the supplier?"

Jiang Han nodded, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Okay, then I will treat you to a seafood feast. There are also a lot of seafood in Shandong, so you can order whatever you want!"

Han Che joked, "Okay, we won't miss the chance to kill you then."

Jiang Han also smiled and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say, one or two meals can still be afforded."

A few people are talking about Xiang Jin in private here, and Xiang Jin and Yan Chen are also talking about them while lying on the bed, "You who sent little Jiang Han, how did he meet his girlfriend, his girlfriend Doesn't seem to talk much, full of introverted and quiet?"

Yan Chen said, "How would I know? I've never been interested in other people's affairs!"

Xiang Jin curled her lips, "Anyone else is a beautiful woman anyway?"

Yan Chen stared at her and said, "I don't care, is she beautiful? I don't think so, I think my wife is still pretty!"

Xiang Jin said, "Poor mouth!"

Yan Chen said, "It's true, I really didn't pay attention, I really didn't take a look at that girl when I came from them, so I really don't know if she is round or derogatory, I only know that she is not tall .”

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, that's true. She is not tall, about 1.5 meters tall, and her net height is less than 1.6 meters. Because when everyone got up to eat, she passed me and wore a pair of seven or eight centimeters. High heels, I am so much taller than her," Xiang Jin stretched out her hand and compared, "But that girl is indeed quiet and taciturn, if you don't talk to her, she won't be able to talk to you, you Even if it's talking to her, it's like you ask a question and she answers it. Fortunately, I am thick-skinned and can talk to her when I have nothing to say. Personally, I guess I'd have to stare wide-eyed."

Yan Chen just laughed, and then stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, "How thick-skinned are you? It's just right! This is called radish and green vegetables, each has its own love, Jiang Han likes that, we don't care."

Xiang Jin said, "That's right, it has nothing to do with us, what do we care about him, what I just want to express is that I don't like that girl, and if we meet in the future, I won't be able to do it again." Going so thick-skinned to talk to her has nothing to say, today they are guests, and I can't take care of joking with my cousin there, can I? I still have to take other people's feelings into consideration. "

Yan Chen said, "It's nothing. If you don't want to deal with her, just don't call her. Don't worry so much. My husband doesn't mind. My husband still wants our Mrs. Yan to be happy and happy." .

Although I'm close friends with some of them, Han Che is the only one who really has a good relationship with them, and the others are just casual acquaintances, and the relationship is slightly better than some other people outside. If you invite them to dinner, you will not be at home, but in a restaurant outside. "

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, good! Then I will know how to get along with them!"
