——Send them a big gift——

Aunt Sun's roasted beef brisket with potatoes has always been Xu Ziqin's ceiling in the food world.The whole family knows that the young master loves potatoes since he was a child.

The recipes and ingredients of stir-fried shredded potatoes, dry-pot potato chips, mashed potato bibimbap, etc. are numerous.Of course, just do it, he doesn't have that talent.

There were five dishes and one soup on the table, and Xu Ziqin reached out to pick up a few pieces of roast beef brisket with potatoes during the whole meal. It always felt hard and salty, not as delicious as Aunt Sun's cooking on weekdays.

As soon as he put down his chopsticks, Uncle Fu thoughtfully poured him a glass of water.

Xu Ziqin: "Thank you, Uncle Fu."

Before Xu Shangwan passed away, Fu Annan would occasionally come to his home to deliver some organic vegetables and fruits. During the holidays, he would bring small and large packets of snacks to feed the three little ones at home.

In the young master's childhood memories, every time Uncle Fu prepared a gift, he would prepare an extra copy and put it under his quilt in advance to prevent it from being taken over by his cousin.

When it was night when he was a child, Xu Ziqin could sleep very soundly with snacks in his arms as soon as he got under the covers.

Time passed, and I was already a sophomore in high school, but Uncle Fu, who had been with children in childhood, had thicker glasses and white hair crawling around his temples.

Years make people old, things are impermanent, and the past is gone.

Aunt Sun gave Wang Zijiao a piece of Longjing shrimp with her serving chopsticks, saying that this was a new Hangzhou dish she had just learned.

My family can't eat spicy food, so I made it lighter.

Wang Zijie's witty remarks even praised her skills, but it was Xu Ziqin's grandmother Song Yunyun who took the blame: "Xiao Sun, you have been a nanny here for more than ten years, right? This cooking skill is getting better and better, and you have also studied new things. The dishes are ready."

"Aunt Song, it's been nine years." Aunt Sun corrected Qin Yang when she was serving a meal, "When I first came here, Xiaoqin was in the second grade, and it was still summer vacation. I remember when I just walked in, Xiaoqin and Zijie were holding a big unicorn melon, The two of them refused to let go, and insisted on making a hole in the top, but Xiaoping came up with a good idea, the two cut it in half, and each took a spoon."

Wang Zijie raised his head and laughed, and when Xu Ziqin wasn't paying attention, he put his arms around his neck: "How can it be cut in half! Obviously I let my cousin leave more than half for him, right cousin?"

Xu Ziqin swallowed what was in his mouth, and gave his cousin a look of "self-experience". Wang Zhiyi smashed Wang Zijie's hand with his chopsticks, and he retracted his hand.

Fu Annan lowered his head and smiled: "I want to avenge Xiaoqin, you left more than half of it for him, you took a big spoon and hollowed out the sweetest heart in the middle, Xiaoqin was so angry The watermelons fell to the ground."

Xu Ziqin lowered his head to eat silently. After so many years, he didn't have the slightest impression of it.

But when the elders get together, don’t they just love to talk about the fun stories of the younger generation when they were young?

"Really? Why don't I have any impression?" Qin Yang and Wang Zhizhi looked at each other and spoke in unison.

"Both of you were busy opening a clothing store at the time!" Qin Li took a sip of wine with a cold dish, and drank a sauce-flavored Moutai, which he said was a gift from an old friend recently. What kind of independent business! Start a fart business, and in the end, you will lose everything. When you were young, you would like to deal with those nonsense. What kind of business do girls start? They should stay at home and enjoy the happiness. At the beginning, the loss was from Xiao Fu’s funds Only when the circulation is smooth can the urgent need be solved."

Qin Yang bowed his head silently, without saying a word, he picked up some lettuce and chewed it in his mouth.

Everyone seemed to see that Qin Yang's expression was wrong, and they didn't talk to each other. The young master thoughtfully served Qin Yang a bowl of scallop, mushroom and chicken soup, hoping to break the deadlock and change the topic.

Unexpectedly, his grandfather would take the first step: "Xiao Fu, I heard that your overseas investment company has plans to expand the scale. Is this time you are going home to develop domestically?"

In his early years, Qin Li had been in countless business circles, and he had mastered the kung fu of talking to people when he saw people.

"It's not considered expansion. Sino-foreign joint ventures need to arrange corresponding personnel to follow up in China. It's better for me to let foreigners come to China. I haven't returned to China for several years, so I will take this opportunity to left behind."

Xu Ziqin swallowed the soup in his mouth, raised his eyes and said, "Uncle Fu won't leave from now on?"

"Yeah." Fu Annan nodded, "Xiaoqin, from now on... I'll take care of you and your mother? Okay?"

Xu Ziqin was mentally prepared, he could bear it.But these words are so unprepared and unprepared, and they are said directly on the surface, which makes him always feel like he is trying to catch ducks to the shelves.

At the dinner, everyone accepted Uncle Fu, one after another mentioned the past, and everyone was watching the young master's face.

He pushed the chicken soup in his hand, completely lost his appetite: "I went upstairs, my stomach is not feeling well."

Stepping on every step of the stairs made the young master feel palpitations. Obviously, all the elders present agreed that Qin Yang and Fu Annan should be together.

But what did Qin Yang think?

Uncle Fu entered the hall, and all kinds of imported snacks and items piled up into a hill, which has the taste of ancient marriage proposals.

Xu Ziqin was meticulous. Before the meal, he had seen Qin Yang deliberately avoiding Uncle Fu more than once, and Qin Yang forcibly moved the seat next to him at the meal.

The voices downstairs were noisy, and the conversation was heated, it seemed that there was not a lot of myself missing.

He turned his head sideways to look for earphones under the pillow, wanting to listen to some rock, but found a hard object, took it out and looked, safflower oil.

After the medicine was wiped off, there was only a small glass bottle that was shining brightly.

The young master looked at the glass bottle and thought in his mind: I don't know what the little bastard is doing now?

On the day of Xiaonian, it was rare for God to show his face. The fluttering sleet stopped, but the sun kept hiding in the clouds and did not show up.

The lively atmosphere at home continued to soar from early in the morning, it was rare for Xu Ziqin to enjoy the bedroom alone.

When replying to Liu Shen, Fei Jin and the others' greeting text messages, the phone of the young master who was drinking millet porridge suddenly vibrated again.

【Dabai: Did you sleep well last night? 】

Xu Ziqin was stunned.

[Scutellaria baicalensis: It's okay. 】

【Dabai: Are you free today?Please eat hot pot. 】

Xu Ziqin hugged the phone and typed a few lines, even adding the four words "Happy New Year", and then felt that she was too flattering and flattering, making people feel that it was either rape or stealing, delete, type, delete, and type back and forth for several times It took only a few minutes for him to throw two words coldly.

[Scutellaria baicalensis: address? 】

[Dabai: The main entrance of Hanhai community at the intersection of Yucai East Road, you wait for me there, I will pick you up. 】

Closed the phone, the young master absently chewed the steamed buns in two or three bites, and was about to ask his cousin when Uncle Fu left last night, when he suddenly heard a scream from the room: "Wang Zijie! Get out of here!" Come in!"

The arrogance of swallowing mountains and rivers scared the young master almost to choke.

Aunt Sun, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, shivered and moved a little faster.

Wang Zhizhi is notoriously hot-tempered, and his personality is very similar to that of a Sichuan girl, not at all like a Cantonese, and no one can restrain himself when he scolds others.

Qin Ziping took a boiled egg, gestured "May God bless you" to his brother, and went back to the room to read, leaving Xu Ziqin and his cousin staring at each other.

Cousin has always been cowardly, even if he dies, he will be backed. It is definitely not a trivial matter to make Wang Zhizhi go crazy early in the morning.

Sure enough, as soon as the two brothers entered the door, a huge murderous aura gathered from all directions and rushed towards them.Wang Zhizhi's eyebrows and face are completely twisted together after half of the painting.

Wang Zhizhi's phone fell on the bed, and he yelled, "The bottom one in the class! The bottom nine in the school! Wang Zijie! If you don't explain the reason to me today, I'm afraid you won't be able to make it through this year."

Wang Zijie was so frightened that he quickly hid behind his cousin, and used the usual devious tactics in the past to let his cousin suppress the fire first.

"It's useless if you call him Xu Ziqin! His grades have declined, and he can't even protect himself!"

Xu Ziqin: ...

Wang Zi mustard: ...

Sure enough, she really answered her nonsense. After being scolded by Wang Zhizhi, my cousin became small and obedient in seconds, and retreated to the room to read and do his homework, while the young master was yelled several times by his mother. , After asking the reason, I really wanted to scold but couldn't.

"Mom doesn't blame you for regressing, but I think you don't care. I know your strength. This time, Bai Jiang tutored him for two days, and he took the second-to-last exam. You beat your cousin and explained the topic. It's not difficult."

Xu Ziqin bit the bullet and kept nodding. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhizhi listened outside the door, and took his son as a negative example, so angry that she kicked the door in.

The aunt and sister-in-law quarreled with each other in the room and turned pale, and finally reconciled inexplicably.

Sure enough, the heart of a woman is like a needle in the sea, just like that of a gangster, which cannot be figured out.

It was cold outside, and the young master rummaged through the clothes in the closet before going out.I don't usually wear it, but I always meet it under my nose, but this time it disappears when I wear it?

"Mom, where did the white down jacket that my cousin gave me last year go?" Xu Ziqin decided to ask for foreign help after searching through the boxes and cabinets but failed.

"Is that Mackage new last year?"

Qin Yang yelled and received a call from Fu Annan, saying that he would take her to eat Japanese food. The young master doesn't like to eat those undercooked fish fillets, and he easily thinks of that pervert, so he doesn't want to go with him.

"It should be..." Xu Ziqin poked his head out of the cabinet.He receives several pieces of clothes every year, and the key is that the clothes are not worn out these days, and he has a closet full of them. "Did you see it?"

Qin Yang hurriedly adjusted his clothes in front of him, and evenly applied the lipstick on his upper and lower lips. Xu Ziqin, who was so impatient, didn't care, but calmly put his arms around him: "Son, you think, your mother and you Auntie, who has the best makeup today? The highest rate of return?"

This kind of century-old problem, the young master naturally knows how to avoid it if he can.

Qin Yang smiled and bumped his forehead: "This pot of water is quite flat."

That is, is it true that I can survive in the middle of nowhere, and live for so many years?

"The Mackage with the logo on the chest is still a treasure to you? I thought you saw that it was a fake brand before and didn't want to wear it. I gave the white down jacket to Xiao Jiang. Don't tell him it's fake."

Seeing the expression on the young master's face, she was taken aback, "Dare you, don't you know?"

Xu Ziqin: ...

Xu Ziqin's voice suddenly rose several degrees, and he kicked open the door of his cousin's room: "Wang Zijie! Why don't you pick it up to death! For Bluetooth headsets, you can buy AirPods with 9.9 free shipping on Taobao. You still want to buy a fake down jacket?!"

Wang Zijie’s excuse was that his cousin would definitely dislike the non-branded brands and would not wear them, and the price of serious famous brands was scary, so he came up with a perfect plan.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Qin Yang and Mrs. Fu had an appointment for afternoon tea, and Qin Yang's girlfriends in the physical store found exactly the same one.

He stopped cooking.

"Mom, you know it's fake, how can you give it back to him?" It's embarrassing.

Anyway, since childhood, the pampered young master wears an A-style item. Isn't this less harmful than wearing a miscellaneous brand?

Miscellaneous brands prove that brother has no money but has backbone.

Wearing a famous brand A product is to swell your face and pretend to be fat, pretending to be aggressive.

Xu Ziqin felt that he didn't want to go to the appointment today, it was too embarrassing.

"Didn't I recognize it when I saw the same one a few days ago? Where did your cousin buy those A products? At least they look like imitations! This...even the logo icon can be pasted in the wrong place, None of them are at the level of A goods."

Before going out, Xu Ziqin really felt that he should read the almanac, because everything went wrong early in the morning.

Wang Zijie was determined to live and die with his cousin, and fight through the siege together, but he had no choice but to return home with his father, Qin Yuan, a big Buddha statue, and watched his cousin go outside to have fun. .

Of course, in order to show his loyalty, he decided to send a message to his cousin every 5 minutes, asking him to report his safety.

Yucai Middle School is on the Yucai East Road section. Every now and then, there will be fights between classmates. The police rotate several shifts every day, but the key is that this group of Yucai gangsters are very vigilant and have strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. If you have a little experience, go for a walk. Like a rabbit burrowing into the ground, it is impossible to catch it at all.

The cold wind was blowing like a knife, and few people walked on the road.Bai Jiang reluctantly pulled out ten red notes from his piggy bank, which he had saved for more than two years.

Most of the money he usually earns is used to subsidize his family, and he keeps some for emergencies.

He was carrying his schoolbag and looking around on the street, the wind was pouring into his chest, and he shivered a few times in the cold, and he pulled the zipper to the top with a "crash".

Bai Lu's words rang in her ears again and again: "Which tailor shop are you looking for? What are you doing with the money? I'll just make a patch for you."

His mother and Dou Jingzhe had the same idea, so Bai Jiang simply put these people into the category of "have never seen the world", although he has not seen the world more times than these two.

But he felt that those holes and patches were created by people with no money pretending to be cool and fashionable. Young masters like Xu Ziqin, who grew up in rich clothes and rich clothes, would definitely disdain the holes and patches.

He set his sights on a high-end sewing shop with clearly marked prices.

The perfume on the female boss's body can force people to retreat from a long distance. She looked at Bai Jiang with a very calm look, as if she was sizing up his purpose this time.

After Bai Jiang took out the white down jacket, a moment later, the female boss pointed to the slit on the sleeve: "This dress costs repairs and dry cleaning..."

Bai Jiang's face sank like water, he pretended to know everything, and started to imitate the big money: "The price is not a problem! The key is whether it can be repaired so that it can't be seen that it's broken."

The female boss sitting opposite couldn't help but read the business opportunity from his words, and stretched out her hand to ask the helper to pour tea for the customer: "No matter how good a sewing master is, he can't restore the clothes to their original state."

"Forget it!" His tone was unreliable.

Bai Jiang picked up the down jacket and stuffed it into his schoolbag. He searched the area, and the navigation said there were several tailor shops, so he compared them. If this shop got worse, it would be his fault.

"Here..." The female boss pulled Bai Jiang into the warehouse, "You have to leave in the middle of what I said, why are you in such a hurry? Although it is impossible to return to the original state, but it can make the other party not look carefully and see come out."

These words hit Bai Jiang's heart, anyway, the young master's family is rich and there are many clothes in the closet, how can he care so much about a piece of clothing?

"How to say?"

"The gap is on the side of the sleeve, the gap is not too big, just sew a logo on it."

The female boss carefully pointed to the trademark of the down jacket, "This brand is not cheap. In the morning, a boy scratched off the logo on his girlfriend's LV bag, and I repaired it here. My girlfriend didn't notice it. , All of our logos and trademarks are imported goods, at a conscientious price.”

Bai Jiang paid 500 yuan for sewing and repairs plus dry cleaning.

Before going out, Dou Jingzhe called and learned that this person had spent 500 yuan to sew a logo, he was dumbfounded: "Brother, you are out of your mind! A logo cost [-] yuan, you fucking stay at my house for a day The express delivery is only three hundred."

"I know." Bai Jiang found a windless place and lit a cigarette.

"You know what a fart! You know!" Dou Jingzhe clattered on the keyboard, swearing and playing games, "Isn't it just a hole? The young master's family is so rich and they are making things difficult for you because of a piece of broken clothes? You It's just too face-saving."

Bai Jiang stamped out the cigarette butt at the bottom of his feet, and a wisp of smoke was completely extinguished as soon as it floated up: "I live in their house, eat their food, use theirs, and now I have to pay for the damage of my clothes. It's nothing Dignity! If it wasn't for my mother, my grandfather, do you think I would like it?"

"Forget it, now that the money has been paid, it's useless to talk about it." Dou Jingzhe changed the subject, "Brother Jiang, let me tell you something. I went out to run orders for my dad today, and saw He Zheng with Lei Zi went to Yucai East Road to block the rain."

"Are you sure?" Bai Jiang was taken aback.

This is too coincidental, he just sent a message to the young master about eating hot pot on Yucai East Road, and returned his clothes on the way, it's really a narrow road.

"When did I release false news? I saw it with my own eyes! The blind old lady of Gu Yu's family said that he went out to buy new year's goods today, and he was followed by a group of tails. I think... this matter probably has something to do with Dumb Liu, we have to deal with it ?"

Bai Jiang rubbed his almost frozen face: "Are you free now?"

Before the other party could reply, he said again: "Help me get a motorcycle. Now that they have encountered each other during the Chinese New Year, I'm going to give them a big New Year's gift today."
