Chapter 27 - Invite
The scandal of the Xu family has caused a lot of ups and downs in the city. Originally, this kind of grievances and grievances between the wealthy and wealthy that only happened at eight o’clock in the blood have attracted people’s attention. Coupled with the explosive gimmicks such as homosexuality and illegitimate children, all of a sudden. Whether it is the upper class or the ordinary people, they all know about this matter, and they talk about it in the streets and alleys, and it was on the front page of the major media that day.
Because of this incident, Xu Jianguo suffered a heart attack and was bedridden. Xu Xinnian was smashed and his leg was broken, and he was hit so hard that he hid at home and didn’t even dare to see anyone.
Dong Feng was even more miserable. As one of the “male protagonists” of the farce that night, not only was his head broken, but he even lost his job.
He can get into the status of having a car and a house now, all relying on the Xu family to carry it all. When he was with Xu Cinian, he meant to climb the high branch of the Xu family. Later, Xu Cinian was imprisoned, and Mr. Xu died suddenly. If it wasn’t for Xu Xinian’s secret help, he wouldn’t be able to keep his current position.
But now that everything has been revealed, his reputation has been discredited, and he has offended the Xu family. For a while, the wall has been pushed down by everyone, but no company is willing to use him.
Of course, these farces had nothing to do with Xu Cinian. He closed the newspaper and stretched, and after calculating the time, he opened the cage.
A basket of steamed white fat bean paste buns came out of the steamer. Two bunny ears stood on the fluffy and soft dough, and two round eyes were dotted with chocolate. The white fat looks really lovely.
Sitting in front of the dining table, Wowo had already smelled the aroma, and now he ran over with his short legs and sniffed hard, “What, a good smell…”
Wowo was too short to see the inside of the steamer. He could only look up his neck to see the rising heat, and he was so greedy that he was about to drool. He was holding on to Xu Cinian’s trousers without letting go, so he had to eat one now.
“It’s too hot to eat now. Let’s wait until it’s cold.” Xu Cinian walked to the living room with the bun in hand, poured a glass of milk and put it in front of the small bench in Wowo.
“Wow…Now, eat…Uncle Luo…also eat…” Wowo kept turning around, smiling and bending his eyes, jumping up and down more busy than Xu Cinian.
Xu Cinian laughed, put him on the stool and said, “Luo Xiaomao really didn’t hurt you in vain. You still miss him when you’re not at home. Why don’t you want me to eat?”
“Well… Dad eat first. Wowo believed it to be true, and hurriedly pushed the milk in front of Xu Cinian, tilted his head and asked, “Uncle Luo, where are you going?” After the bun was cold, it was stuffed into his hand, “Xiao Mao went to attend his sister’s wedding, and I’m not at home today. Would you like to go out with your father with your little rabbit in your arms?”
Wo Wo was holding the fat little rabbit bean paste with a surprised look on his face, he poked it with his finger, and then sneaked up to smell it.
“Going to… Chengcheng?”
Xu Cinian made a move, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “Who said we was going to find him, you only met him once, why did you remember it all at once?”
“Looking for Chengcheng, just Let’s keep two… um… let’s just eat one, and Wowo wants to eat one more.”
No matter what Xu Cinian said, Wowo insisted that he went out to find Chengcheng, so he wanted to give a little rabbit bean paste for him, but there are so few bean paste bun…I want to give it to Dad, Uncle Luo, and Chengcheng…I have dilemma all of a sudden
“…..” Hey, little bastard, did you hear what I said!
Xu Cinian rubbed his forehead with a headache, deeply thinking that this little bastard’s temper must be inherited from someone, and he looks like a rogue, completely unreasonable.
After breakfast, he put on a coat, a scarf, a mask and a hat for Wowo, wrapped it like a small cotton pile, and packed the fried glutinous rice balls in a kraft paper bag and stuffed it into his hand. He took his little hand and walked out of the house.
Usually at this time, Xu Cinian would go to Chengnan Street to sell wonton stew. He earned quite a lot in one day, which was enough for him and Wowo to live on. But after setting up a street stall for nearly a month, Xu Cinian gradually developed his own Intend.
Although roadside snacks make money, it is not a long-term solution. No matter how popular the business is, it will not be able to form a scale. If you want to truly gain a foothold in the catering industry in S City, everything you do now is far from enough.
Besides, he was alone, and he had to take care of Wowo at ordinary times. Although Xiaomao helped relieve a lot of the burden, but when he was in time for the city management inspection and Xiaomao’s night shift, Wowo could only be at home by himself.
""
A child who is less than two years old, no matter how smart and obedient, it is too dangerous to be at home alone. Xu Cinian doesn’t want to make fun of his son’s life safety in order to make money, so after thinking about it, he finally decided to give up the job. Gotta get the steaming wonton stew.
In the past two years, he has saved some money in his hands, and he also got a lot of cash when he cleaned up Dong Feng before. This part of the money is enough for him to do some small business in the S city. As for what business he wants to do, he already has it in mind.
When he was still in the Xu family, his grandfather often told him that food was the priority of the people, and even if the society was turbulent, it would not be short of food and drink, so if you want to do a good job in the catering industry, you must have a good source of ingredients, farming and catering. In parallel, we can ensure that what we eat can be delicious and healthy, business will be prosperous, and life will be easier.
Xu Cinian was quite touched by his grandfather’s words back then, but unfortunately he was imprisoned by Xu Xinnian before he could actually do it. Now everything has been restarted, and he has strengthened his determination to engage in farming, since he regards it as a career to develop, but also to fulfill the last wish left by his grandfather.
It is a pity that the father and son walked around several large markets in S city hand in hand for a day. In the evening, there was still no harvest. Xu Cinian was not in a hurry to decide on a breeding project. The little guy walked with his father at first, but in the end he was so tired that he rode directly on Xu Cinian’s neck and slept all the way.
Hearing the small snoring sound in his ears, Xu Cinian was not at all tired after walking around all day.
With an unusually soft expression, he quietly carried him from his back into his arms. The little guy never woke up. He slept soundly with his eyes closed. His long and dense eyelashes trembled with his breathing, and his chubby buns The two dimples on his face are looming.
He don’t know why, but suddenly he think of Qu Cheng, the blanket he put on himself when it rained heavily that day, and the guy’s eyebrows similar to Wowo.
Speaking of which, he seems to owe that guy a meal, right?
Xu Cinian was talking to himself, and he didn’t know if he was asking himself or asking Wowo. As a result, the little guy sleeping in the fog in his arms suddenly muttered, “Chengcheng, Baozi…” ( Baozi is steamed buns) and then pouted his little butt. Turning over, he clenched the bean bag for Qucheng’s little rabbit.
Xu Cinian scratched his hair. He didn’t understand why he suddenly thought of that person. He was a little embarrassed for a while. He looked down at the “trophies” he bought in the major vegetable markets. It’s a favor to him, anyway, after buying everything, it’s a waste not to eat it.
Yes, I suddenly remembered that he must be worried about wasting food, there is absolutely no other reason.
***
Qucheng has been very busy these days. Several upstarts are taking drugs and molesting the waiters in Hao Ting. As a result, they happened to meet the police station to crack down on pornography and illegal activities, they and Hao Ting’s employees were directly arrested.
The matter of getting involved with drugs can be big or small. Although Hao Ting did not help him, he could not avoid being implicated. Qu Cheng has been running around for this matter, and he didn’t even bother to eat a serious meal for a few days.
The matter was finally resolved today. It was rare for him to leave work early. As soon as he walked out of the mansion, he saw Xu Cinian standing across the street.
He was holding Wowo in his arms and holding a lot of things in his hands. Standing in front of the candy stall across the street, Wowo pointed to this and that for a while, and he looked curious when he looked at it, and blinked his big eyes. I’d love to buy them all home.
Ah Si followed Qu Cheng’s line of sight and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Brother Cheng, isn’t that sister-in-law? Oh, it’s such a cold day to hold a baby outside waiting for you, this is another village rhythm.”
Qu Cheng glanced at him and said nothing.
Ah Si, who had been attacked by Qu Cheng in the face of Bao Gong’s (Chinese politician that have angry face) face for several days, suddenly became impotent, and hurriedly covered his mouth, for fear of being instantly killed by Qu Cheng’s gloomy eyes.
“I’ll give you a salary increase this month.”
Qu Cheng suddenly said this, hitting Ah Si’s head like a big golden egg, causing him to open his mouth instantly.
This… what’s the situation? Just because I praised Xu Cinian, I got a salary increase, so can I go directly to my sister-in-law as a younger brother! Brother Cheng, can you pick up your integrity, RMB can’t be so profitable!
“Car key.” Qu Cheng stretched out his hand.
""
Ah Si was still immersed in unreality, and he obediently handed over the key.
“Remember to issue the invoice, and I’ll reimburse you tomorrow.”
Qu Cheng patted him on the shoulder, turned around with the car key and walked across the street.
“…..” Ah Si stood there for a long time before he could react. He… seemed to have been given by the boss who paid less attention to friends… completely abandoned…
Ever since Qucheng came out of the palace, Xu Cinian saw it. However, he had been standing still, pretending to be a candy buyer, and was actually thinking about how to speak for a while.
If he directly said ‘I want to invite you to dinner, you can choose the place’, it seems reasonable and reasonable, but he has already bought the dishes, and then going to the restaurant with Qu Cheng, it seems very nondescript.
But if he ask him to come to his house for dinner, he will feel embarrassed. After all, such an embarrassing relationship between the two is especially weird once they are under the same roof.
Before, he wanted to invite him to dinner with a fever, but now it is really difficult to ride a tiger.
When Xu Cinian was tangled, Wowo, who was lying on the candy stand, suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes, pointed to the line of candy in front of him, and said, “Give one to Dad, one to uncle, and one to Cheng.”
“What do you want to give me, little guy.”
Qu Cheng walked up to Xu Cinian at some point, his brows were smiling, his originally cold and hard features softened, and there was a taste of iron man’s tenderness.
“Chengcheng!” Wowo jumped up in surprise, wrapped around Qu Cheng’s knees like an octopus, happy with a steamed bun’s face flushing red.
“Oh little guy, you seem to have gained weight again!” Qu Cheng staggered after being hit by him, and he was very happy.
Although he has always liked children, and he has a good relationship with children since he was a child, he is very happy when he sees Wowo. As soon as he sees his soft face, he wants to go up and kiss him hard, which makes him very inexplicable.
“Caimiyou, I’m Lightning BIUBIUBIU!”
“?” Qu Cheng was stunned, but he didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence for a long time.
Xu Cinian next to him couldn’t see that the two of them were tired and crooked on the road. He couldn’t help coughing a few times. He covered his forehead and said embarrassingly, “Cough… He means that he is thin like lightning…”
“….. “Qu Chengqiang held back his laughter and tried not to laugh, until both shoulders began to tremble.
Xu Cinian didn’t know what to say. After thinking about it for a long time, who would have thought that the last opening would turn out to be such a conversation.
“You didn’t come to me on purpose, did you?” Qu Cheng helped him with a smile, and his eyes were extremely bright in the night.
Xu Cinian coughed to hide his embarrassment, “I happened to be passing by, I didn’t want to come to see you…”
“Dad said he wanted to invite Chengcheng to eat at home, and the vegetables were all bought.” Wowo interrupted Xu Cinian suddenly with a smile, He raised his belly, revealing two dimples, which did not save his father any face at all.
Xu Cinian, who betrayed him, leaned over and said, “Okay, but I’m disrespectful.”
“…..”
If there was a faint smell of tobacco on Qu Cheng’s body, Xu Cinian silently turned his head away, not wanting to see the two smiles in front of him. Gotta touch the same face.
He knew that sooner or later, he would be pissed off by this little bastard… Surely!
