Chapter 229 Encounter with You Fengxia
"You are too polite, sir."
Liao Chunquan took the cigarette.
"I told Mr. Bai that in addition to the eight dollars for the cooking fee, I will also give you a pack of Daqianmen."
"The main thing is that the dishes are good and the guests are satisfied, so I will naturally not treat you unfairly."
Chen Jianye said.
"Thank you, sir. Please rest assured, I, Liao Chunquan, run a kitchen in Sijiu City and have a good reputation."
"Even if you didn't give me the eight dollars for my service, I can't mess up the banquet for the sake of my own reputation."
Liao Chunquan's tone was very firm.
"Okay, I believe Master Liao."
Chen Jianye nodded with satisfaction.
Liao Chunquan said goodbye and left.
Chen Jianye went home, put on his cloth bag, and rode his bike to the library.
At the entrance of the library, Ran Qiuye saw Chen Jianye coming and waved.
"Waiting for me."
Chen Jianye stopped the car with a smile.
"I've been waiting for you for a while."
Ran Qiuye pouted.
"I was delayed for a while discussing the banquet with the chef."
Chen Jianye parked the car and explained.
"How many tables do we need to prepare? Do we need a lot of dishes? Do we need my dad to help?"
Ran Qiuye asked with concern.
A wedding banquet represents face.
If the banquet goes wrong, the relatives and friends of the Ran family will definitely talk about it.
"It's OK, I can handle it myself."
"If I can't handle it, I'll ask my father-in-law for help."
Chen Jianye took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Ran Qiuye.
"Oh my god, it takes two kilograms of meat and eight kilograms of flour."
Ran Qiuye glanced at the list and was very surprised.
"If you don't put two pounds of meat on the eight-table banquet, there will be no oil or water."
"We plan to use the white flour as the staple food, white flour buns. There are eight tables, and each table will weigh one pound, which is not too much."
Chen Jianye said with a smile.
"That's a lot when added together. It'll cost a lot of money."
"We have to pay for the banquet."
Ran Qiuye was a little unhappy.
The two of them have already obtained their marriage certificate, and spending Chen Jianye's money is also spending her money.
"Being able to spend a few dollars to treat friends and family to good food and drink is more important than anything else."
"It's the only time in your life that you have to deal with it. Don't worry about it."
Chen Jianye is quite open-minded.
The main thing is that you have money in your hands and you won’t be worried.
The betrothal gift to the Ran family alone cost him more than 40 yuan.
And that doesn’t include my own bicycle, watch, and house.
Without these big items, the Ran family would not agree to marry the girl off.
"Okay, do you have any money?"
Ran Qiuye asked.
"Yes, don't worry."
Chen Jianye smiled.
"There are many?"
Ran Qiuye asked again.
"What? You want to manage the money?"
Chen Jianye said vigilantly.
Nowadays, women do manage the money in the majority, as they are responsible for household expenses and the arrangements and preparations for social interactions.
Without money, you can't get anything done.
The masters are out there making money and don't have time to take care of trivial matters.
It is normal for the wife to take care of the household chores and small matters.
"I'm just asking. If you don't like it, forget it."
Ran Qiuye said somewhat unnaturally.
"I'll tell you, I still have more than 170 yuan in my hand."
Chen Jianye said with a smile.
Lied about a number.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust Ran Qiuye to manage the money, but a man cannot be without money.
"Then you have to be more careful with the flowers."
Ran Qiuye said.
"Don't worry, I'll be transferred to a new position in the second half of the year and will be promoted to a level eight worker, earning 99 yuan a month."
“It doesn’t matter how much you spend.”
Chen Jianye raised his eyebrows and said.
A smile appeared on Ran Qiuye's face.
Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat.
She found a good husband and no longer has to worry about her livelihood, which saves her a lot of trouble.
The two went into the library to read, and when it was noon, they went back to Ran's house to eat together.
"Mom and Dad, we are back."
Ran Qiuye entered the room and shouted.
"I'm here, your mother is cooking."
Ran Dinghong put on his glasses and put down the newspaper in his hand: "Jianye is here, come and have a cup of tea with me."
"Okay, Dad."
Chen Jianye sat in front of the coffee table.
After talking about work with Ran Dinghong for a while, Chen Jianye went to the table to eat.
I still didn't drink this time.
After dinner, Chen Jianye wanted to go to the library to continue reading.
"Jianye, you should rest on the weekends and stop working so hard."
"Look at your dad. He read too much. Now his eyesight is not good. He has to wear glasses to see everything."
Lu Qiang persuaded.
"I haven't borrowed the book yet. If I don't borrow the book, I won't have any books to study for next week."
Chen Jianye said.
"Then you should rest at home for a while and take a nap before going to the library."
"Qiuye has to prepare lessons this afternoon, so I won't go with you."
Lu Qiang said.
"Okay, mom."
Chen Jianye was delighted.
If he stayed at the Ran family to rest, he would definitely have to live in the same room with Ran Qiuye.
Chen Jianye didn't even ask if the Ran family had any guest rooms, and went straight into Ran Qiuye's room.
Lying on Ran Qiuye's bed, he turned on the electric fan, which shook its head to blow air.
You know what, it’s really comfortable.
After a while, Ran Qiuye came in and glanced at Chen Jianye on the bed: "Shame on you, my mother originally wanted you to sleep in the guest room."
"Wife, what you said is wrong."
"How can a newlywed couple sleep in separate beds?"
Chen Jianye stood up with a smile.
He didn't fall asleep at all, and couldn't fall asleep.
Just waiting for Ran Qiuye to come back.
"You go to sleep, I'll prepare for class."
Ran Qiuye snorted.
"No, you have to sleep with me."
Chen Jianye picked up Ran Qiuye and put her on the bed.
Ran Qiuye's face turned red and his body tensed.
Chen Jianye put one hand on her, gently sniffed Ran Qiuye's hair, and actually fell asleep.
Ran Qiuye was on guard for a while, and when she saw that Chen Jianye really seemed to be falling asleep, she felt a little disappointed.
In fact, deep down in her heart, she was somewhat eager for Chen Jianye's invasion.
But she couldn't say it out loud, because as a girl, she had to be reserved.
This is the Ran family’s tutor.
Two hours later, Chen Jianye woke up and saw the person next to him was still sleeping.
Chen Jianye gently touched Ran Qiuye's lips.
Seeing that Ran Qiuye didn't react, he kissed her.
Soon, Ran Qiuye woke up.
Chen Jianye untied his belt and let Ran Qiuye do the work.
The two of them were affectionate for a while, and Chen Jianye unloaded the goods.
"I'm going back. I'll marry you next Wednesday. I won't be here for the next two days."
Chen Jianye stood up and spoke.
"Ah."
Ran Qiuye nodded lightly.
Chen Jianye opened the door, said goodbye to Ran’s parents, and rode his bike back to the library.
After borrowing a book on advanced machinist skills, he rode his bike towards the Qiu family.
The ingredients for the kitchen next Wednesday need to be prepared in advance.
The ingredients used in the kitchen are very diverse, and it takes a lot of time to buy them by yourself, so Chen Jianye is too lazy to go out.
Either buy it on the black market, or buy it directly from Qiu Jibin.
Of course, I give priority to my childhood friends’ business.
While riding his bike, Chen Jianye suddenly saw a dusty figure in front of him, and immediately put his hands on his chest to look at him carefully.
After confirming that the person was indeed an old friend, Chen Jianye rode forward and called out, "Comrade You Fengxia."
"Comrade Chen Jianye."
You Fengxia also saw Chen Jianye and was very surprised.
Now she is disheveled and covered in dust. If you don't know her, you might think she rolled in the dust several times before running away.
"Comrade You Fengxia, you sell pancakes, don't you? Why is this happening?"
Chen Jianye asked in surprise.
The You Fengxia in his memory was youthful, energetic and vigorous, but this was not the case.
