Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1296 Are you saying we're ugly?

Wang Xiuli was also sizing up Zhang Bing, and said, "I'm nineteen, so what?"

Zhang Bing frowned and sighed, "Then I have to call her 'sister,' I'm eighteen. Sigh, why can't I find someone younger than me?"

Xia Maosheng asked, "How about a smaller one?"

Zhang Bing said, "Hey, little one, call me 'brother'! I've never had anyone call me 'brother' before; I'm always the one calling others 'brother' or 'sister.' Even my fourth uncle's kids are older than me. Where's the justice in that?"

Xia Maosheng said, "Then you don't have much hope. When Xiuer starts dating someone in the future, you should ask her to find someone younger than you."

Zhang Bing pursed his lips, glanced at the table, and whispered to Wang Xiuli, "Have you ever had champagne?"

Wang Xiuli shook her head, and Zhang Bing snapped his fingers: "After we finish eating, I'll take you to see my brother's wine cellar so you can try some."

Several families have moved away, but the wine cellar is still in the basement of the annex. They had too many demands, and moving it would have been too much trouble, so they simply left it there.

Uncle Wang and Dad Wang had a couple of drinks, and the three of them, along with Xiaowei's dad, ate and chatted. Suddenly, Uncle Wang turned to Zhang Bing and asked, "Xiaobing, didn't you say you were going to help Xiaofu with his company this holiday? You even said you had a lot of ideas and all that. Why are you going to Kyoto again?"

"Aren't you going to handle Xiao Fu's side anymore?"

Zhang Bing picked up a piece of food and said, "All he cares about now is chicken, duck, and goose eggs. I asked him to make beef jerky and mare's milk wine, but he just wouldn't budge. Chicken and duck eggs don't cost much at all, but a pound of beef jerky and mare's milk wine is worth so much more than a pound of chicken eggs. I just don't understand him."

Geng Hui said, "Have you ever thought about how many people buy chicken and duck eggs every day? Which family doesn't need them? How many people buy beef jerky and mare's milk wine every day?"

Xiao Wei's father chimed in, "I think if we could find a place that specializes in growing wood ear mushrooms, that would be great. We could sell those all over the country. Our Northeast wood ear mushrooms are excellent."

Wang's father said, "Aren't there people teaching how to grow slippery mushrooms now? I was thinking of getting some for the winter camp, since I'm free anyway. They say it's quite simple, just using some cornstarch."

Uncle Wang said, "It's not that easy. In my hometown, quite a few people have been growing slippery mushrooms in the past two years, but overall the situation isn't good. The percentage of people making money is too low. There's no such thing as easy farming; it all involves data and technology. Most of those who say it's simple and easy are being deceptive."

Xiaowei's dad said, "Why are you still thinking about this? Go to Kyoto, Xiaowei can arrange things for you to do, just run a small business to make a living, have some fun, and you two won't have to worry about the child anymore. From now on, you can just enjoy life and not have to worry about anything."

Mr. Wang said, "How could that be? The child is the child, and we are us. It's good enough that we don't have to take care of them. We can't cause them any trouble. They have hands and feet; they can do anything."

Xiaowei's dad said, "You need to change your mindset. Our child is just an ordinary child. How much do you earn in a year by making all this money? With that time, take good care of your health. Being healthy and free from illness is better than anything else."

The money our kids earn is more than enough for you to spend as much as you want, understand? They don't need us. Our job is to keep them healthy, happy, and not cause them any trouble.

Xuemei and Jiwei make hundreds of thousands or even millions a year, so you two, Jihong, won't have to worry about making money in the future. Just live well and take care of their children.

Zhang Bing said, "That's right, my sister Xuemei earns her money the easiest way. All she has to do all year is take photos and record videos. I'm so envious."

Wang Xiuli asked, "What 'GG'? What kind of photos?"

Zhang Bing was taken aback: "You don't have a TV at home?"

Geng Hui said with a smile, "They've never met Sister Xuemei before, and even if they did, they wouldn't recognize her."

Zhang Bing suddenly realized and pointed outside: "That's the one on the 'Full House' sign, that's my sister, she's always on TV. Our family's food factory, cake shop, instant noodles, and what else, hotels and shopping malls, Sister Xuemei is the spokesperson for all of them."

Wang Xiuli's mouth formed an "O" shape in surprise, a little excited: "Really?"

Zhang Bing glanced at her sideways, giving her a look that said, "You're so naive." "Of course it's true. My sister is way prettier than any of those celebrities."

Wang Xiuli nodded and said, "Yes, I always see them on TV, and there are big brands in the city too. I thought they were celebrities."

Zhang Bing shook his head: "How about it? I wasn't lying to you, was I? Brother Jiwei just hit the jackpot, I just felt like no one could be good enough for my sister."

Geng Hui glanced at Zhang Bing and said, "Are you implying that Xiao Hong, Chen Xiao, and I are all ugly?"

Zhang Bing chuckled a few times, then said, "How could that be? I'm comparing myself to outsiders, not you guys."

Wang Xiuli covered her mouth and laughed.

Over there, Wang Ma asked Wang Shen, "To be honest, our family, which has been farmers for generations, is completely bewildered. We don't know what the proper procedures are. If you have any requests or demands, please just tell us so we can prepare accordingly."

Aunt Wang put a piece of meat on Wang Ma's plate: "What do you want? Nothing at all. We weren't farmers before, we all came from the production team. My husband, Old Wang, joined the army, and that's how he got a job in the county."

Xiaowei's family was still farming until 91. Ask Xiaobing where he was a couple of years ago. That's what happens when your kids are successful; they're enjoying the good life together. We're all in the same boat, so don't overthink it. As long as the two kids are happy together, that's better than anything else.

Xuemei is a woman of her own mind; ultimately, she'll have to make the decision herself. At most, she'll listen to what Aunt Chen has to say, but it definitely won't involve money or anything like that. Don't worry.”

Wang Ma said, "Although I've never seen him before, he must be a good child. He spent a lot of money on Ji Hong, and even brought me back 20,000 yuan, and gave the girl 1,000 yuan. I was shocked and didn't know what to do."

I won't lie to you, I've been thinking about this ever since I got here. What do you think we should give our child? We can't just quietly do nothing; it's a once-in-a-lifetime event, and we'll feel so guilty later."

Aunt Wang said, "Don't worry about it. We have plenty of money and things, so you don't need to prepare anything. To be honest, the fact that you two treat Xuemei like your own daughter is more important than anything else. She's a hard-working girl and very sentimental. She doesn't care about anything else."

Wang Ma wanted to say something more, but she opened her mouth and sighed. Her in-laws were too powerful; she couldn't even get a chance to stand up for herself.

After a welcome dinner, everyone got up and went downstairs. The employees who came to eat greeted Xiaowei's father and the others with smiles and looked at Wang Jihong's family.

After coming down from the canteen and walking to the front of the headquarters building, Aunt Wang said, "Why don't I stay here tonight? This in-law is new here and doesn't know the place well. I'll keep him company and chat with him."

Uncle Wang checked the time and said, "Then let's all stay here. Xiaobing, you keep Jihong and Xiuli company. Lao Zhang and I will keep Brother Wang company. Xiaohui, you two keep your sister-in-law company."
