Chapter 228 Cold

Xu Mingyuan turned down requests to visit and wish everyone a happy new year, but his phone never stopped ringing since the first day of the new year.

Father Xu Jun would occasionally call, and Xu Mingyuan asked him indirectly, "Father, please don't make friends with bad people, or even cellmates, because that would be degrading." He had been away from home for two years, and no one had come to look after his two children. Even if he had a few friends, they were probably unreliable.

Xu Jun understood what he meant, smiled and said nothing.

Everyone has his own life, not to mention his own father. Xu Mingyuan would not blame him for anything and just asked him to do his best to be a good person.

Xu Mingyuan discussed with his father and planned to build a battery factory in Nanxi Development Zone to produce lithium batteries for MP4s for Fanchuan Technology's own use.

The technology does not need to be very advanced, just buy domestic production lines and gradually build up in the future. At present, Sailing Technology is basically engaged in assembly. There is no problem now, but there is no future. Sooner or later, it will have to transform and establish its own technical department.

Xu Jun specially went out to buy a wig and put it on, then drove away Xu Mingyuan's A6, saying that he was going to visit some people.

Xu Mingyuan didn't care about him. Even if he could contact the old man's former connections, it would be unlikely to be of any use since Xu Jun had not been involved in personnel work for ten years. It would be better to go through the Municipal Party Committee's Investment Promotion Office, which would also give the green light.

But since his father was willing to do it, Xu Mingyuan would not stop him. It was a good thing to have something important to do.

"Brother, why don't you go lie down in the hut? It's so crowded here."

Yang Zhi felt a little sorry for Xu Mingyuan when she saw him lying on the soft chair in the study playing with his cell phone.

It cannot be said that Xu Mingyuan is very filial, but he couldn't rush to the study to help Xu Jun, so he went to live in the study himself.

"Why squeeze? Aren't the beds in the dormitory just this wide?" Xu Mingyuan said casually.

“It’s different at home.”

"What's different? It's quite convenient."

Xu Mingyuan continued to send text messages. In fact, it was fine in the study. There was a notebook on the long table next to him. He could just open it whenever he wanted. Anyway, he spent half of his time at home in the study, so it was more convenient now.

Yangzhi peels the orange and removes the white veins on it.

The oranges this year are not as good as the ones ten years later. There are veins all over the oranges. She peels them very carefully, and it takes her half a minute to pick them cleanly.

When it was fed to Xu Mingyuan's mouth, it was already warm.

Seeing that her fingertips were neatly trimmed, round and shiny, with a hint of cool paleness, Xu Mingyuan simply snatched the orange from her hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then Yang Zhi took another orange from the fruit bowl and peeled it patiently.

Xu Mingyuan tried to snatch it a few times, but he couldn't stand her nagging anymore, so he said, "I don't want to eat it anymore. It's a bit sour. You can eat it yourself."

"Oh……"

Yang Zhi continued to peel the peanuts without changing his expression. He removed the peanut skins, collected a small handful of shiny peanut kernels, and continued with the previous work.

When she has eaten enough peanuts, she will have melon seeds. When she has eaten enough melon seeds, she will have bananas. She will always have something to do.

In the past, Xu Mingyuan thought it was troublesome and had to talk to her several times before he stopped her from doing this, but now she started again. Maybe it was because Xu Jun came back and he didn't care about her as much as before, which made Xiao Yangzhi worried again.

Xu Mingyuan was so confused that he said, "Don't you mind the trouble? Go play somewhere else."

"Brother, do you hate me?"

"No."

"Then why let me play at the same time instead of taking me with you..." Yang Zhi said pitifully.

"What kind of parents would take their children out to play all day? If you are bored, just go read a book and study."

"..."

Yang Zhi was choked and speechless. He silently stood up and got a Chinese textbook, then returned to the study and sat aside to read quietly.

Just after the third day of the Chinese New Year, you can still hear sporadic firecrackers outside.

Xu Mingyuan went to bed late yesterday and didn't have breakfast. Now that Xiao Yangzhi came to disturb his leisure, he couldn't rest.

Xu Mingyuan simply stood up and sat next to Xiao Yangzhi.

After draping the quilt over her, Xu Mingyuan pulled the notebook in front of him, plugged in the USB drive and connected it to the printer, and printed out a copy of the document inside.

Xu Jun knocked on the door and came in. He saw the scene in the study, frowned but said nothing. He just brought a plate of hot shredded chicken and put it on the table.

"Eat it while it's hot, it fills your stomach."

"Well, thanks, Dad." Xu Mingyuan nodded, handed over a stack of printed A4 papers, and said, "Dad, can you understand it? Don't show it to anyone, it's a business secret."

Although it is confidential, it is actually not very important. It is just the detailed cashier report of Sailing Technology, which allows my father to understand the scale of Sailing Technology.

“Haha, I understand.”

After all, Xu Jun had followed his grandfather since he was running Nanxi Plastic Steel. He was familiar with the complicated internal affairs of large state-owned enterprises, so it was not difficult for him to understand them.

"Dad, can you be the factory manager?"

"Let's talk about it later." Xu Jun smiled and said, "I'm going to go out for a while. You can take your sister to eat lunch at noon."

"Okay, do you want to drive? The car keys are in my bag." Xu Mingyuan pointed to the shoulder bag on the table.

"Need not."

Xu Jun said this and then put on his clothes and went out.

My cheap old father has just been released, and he can't stay at home even more than I do. He has only been at home for a few days, and he is running outside all day long.

Xu Mingyuan shook his head helplessly and ignored him.

Xiao Yangzhi picked out the peppercorns with chopsticks, held a piece of chicken leg in the air, and stuffed it into Xu Mingyuan's mouth.

He also picked up a piece of meat and ate it slowly.

After seeing Xu Jun come out safely, Yang Zhi finally felt relieved.

And now, she only had one thing left.

I stole a glance at Xu Mingyuan. There was really no time to relax...

There were two people left at home. Yang Zhi kicked off her cotton slippers, curled up her legs on the soft chair, and used half of the quilt to cover Xu Mingyuan.

Xiao Yangzhi was reading a book, and Xu Mingyuan was playing on the computer, and then he took on some of her weight.

If he didn't want to be pressed crooked by her, he could only lean towards Xiao Yangzhi.

The behavioral habits that Xiao Yangzhi has developed over a long period of time have already been ingrained in his bones.

After playing on the computer, I watched TV for a while. Now there was no cushion to rest my legs on, so I could only lie on my side.

Yang Zhi still followed with the quilt wrapped around her. She did not stay in the small corner of the sofa, but squeezed to the back of the sofa with Xu Mingyuan, occupying a small space.

Xu Jun didn't come back until after lunch.

"Brother, can you please give me the small room? Don't stay in the study room anymore." Yang Zhi said while biting her lips lightly.

"Hey, I've said it several times. I'm going to Jiangcheng to study when school starts. I can only stay at home for more than ten days. Why do I need to change rooms?" Xu Mingyuan said.

"But we're moving..."

Yang Zhi looked around, the reluctance in her eyes already overflowing.

"Maybe we'll move sometime this year. Otherwise, we can just buy a single-family house in Nanhe. It'll take about half a year to renovate it," said Xu Mingyuan.

The villa area in Nanxi is not big. A community consists of a dozen three-story buildings. The area and location are relatively poor. Only Nanhe Fujing Capital is better. It takes only ten minutes to drive to the city center. Tao Changming also plans to buy a house there. It would be nice to be a neighbor in the future.

However, Xu Mingyuan didn't like living in a single-family house. He preferred living in a flat in the city, which was more convenient for everything. But Xu Jun was such a face-loving person, why didn't he arrange a single-family house for him to live in, just as a retirement home for him.

"Brother, didn't you say you wanted to live in a building?"

"Yes."

"It would be nice to live together at home. A house that's too big would be lonely."

"Discuss it with your Uncle Xu when the time comes. I don't care."

Xu Mingyuan turned over and didn't want to pay attention to this dawdling little girl.

I don’t know if it’s because of his mental age or because Xiao Yangzhi has smoothed out his edges, but he is not so impatient now.

If she had continued to procrastinate like before, Xu Mingyuan would have kicked her in the ass long ago.

Seeing that Xu Mingyuan had his face pressed against the wall and didn't want to pay attention to her, Xiao Yangzhi became a little discouraged. She covered her with a blanket and then came in.

"What are you doing? Aren't you too crowded?"

"Hmm~~~" Yang Zhi shook his head and whispered, "I don't mind..."

"I hate it. Go away."

"You're going to fall to the ground." Yang Zhi pulled his sleeve, "Brother, you won't do this..."

"You stupid girl, why do you have to pester someone?"

This is the sad part about children from other families, they always want to please everyone in the family. Xu Mingyuan stopped squeezing her and continued texting.

Yang Zhi also turned his back, holding an English textbook in his hand and memorizing words. He was not familiar with some of the phonetic symbols, so he went to ask Xu Mingyuan until he got the pronunciation right.

"Brother, it's cold."

Yang Zhi also turned around at this time, and said with sparkling eyes.

Xu Mingyuan gave most of the quilt to her and ignored her.

While he closed his eyes, Yang Zhi quietly moved forward.

It's also good for my brother to sleep on a soft cushion, so that he can be closer...
