Chapter 433 Spring Chapter (2)
Chapter 433 Spring Chapter (2)
With this large sum of money, Wen Saner became very proud.
He muttered to himself, "Fuck, who said Mr. Wen wasn't destined to get rich? I made five dollars a while ago, and it was almost all gone, but today I made another dollar! It's Chinese New Year, why should I pull a cart?"
He parked the car immediately and was not in a hurry to go back to the car dealership. He strolled leisurely on the overpass, then found a large wine jar, got some peanuts and a pig's ear, then thought that he couldn't just eat two dishes during the New Year, so he gritted his teeth and ordered a plate of shredded radish and a plate of braised beef.
These are just two meat dishes!
The food doesn't matter, but the wine can't be bad. If you still drink sweet potato wine during the New Year, won't you still be drinking sweet potato wine next year?
"Hey man, give me a bottle of Erguotou!"
The young man took a look and thought, hey! I was wrong. This guy is pale and skinny, wearing rags, and wearing a shabby coat. He looks like a rickshaw driver, but I didn't expect him to be so generous.
The young man was stunned, and Wen Saner slammed the table, "I say, hurry up!"
"Hey, here I come, here you come!"
They drank from noon to afternoon. The peanuts and shredded radish were all eaten, but there were still a lot of pig ears and braised beef left. Wen San shook the bottle with drunken eyes and saw that there was still a little more than half of it, so he smiled with satisfaction.
Another meal in the evening!
He paid the bill with a large sum of money, took the change, and asked the waiter to find some oil paper to wrap the remaining dishes. He picked up the oil paper bag and the bottle of wine, went out, and pulled the cart back to the car dealership.
On the way, Wen Saner had already figured out how to brag to those poor friends in the evening!
...........
Duan's house.
Shopkeeper Duan went to the shop to settle the accounts and returned home early.
While other families’ New Year celebrations are lively and bustling, the Duan residence is a bit deserted.
Two days ago, Shopkeeper Duan took out most of his savings and bought a house in the concession in Tianjin, and sent his wife and other family members there.
Today is Chinese New Year, and Duan Wenxuan also returned from the detective team in the afternoon.
As soon as I entered the house, I changed out of my uniform and put on casual clothes, and walked to the main room, where I saw my father sitting alone next to the octagonal table. There were a few side dishes on the table and hot wine in a white porcelain wine cup.
Duan Wenxuan was stunned, "Dad, where is my mother?"
Shopkeeper Duan drank a cup of wine calmly and looked at his son, "Wenxuan, come here, let's have a drink together."
Duan Wenxuan was a little puzzled. The Duan family had a lot of rules. Logically, father and son could not sit at the same table. What happened today?
But he still walked over and sat down at the bottom, first filling his father's glass and then pouring himself another one.
Old Duan drank by himself and signaled his son to continue pouring wine.
"Wenxuan, our family has been doing business for generations, and no one has ever been an official, so since you were born, I have been thinking about letting you study. The imperial examination is no longer popular now, but I think, if you can enter a university and then study abroad to get a diploma, wouldn't that be a foreign Jinshi? As the saying goes, foreign monks are better at chanting sutras........."
Having said that, Old Duan picked up the wine cup again, took a sip, and exhaled.
"Haha, Wenxuan, when you were a kid, I asked someone to tell your fortune. Guess what? The fortuneteller said that you were born to be a civil or military general, either a pen or a gun, and you will at least become a prefect or a governor in the future!"
Duan Wenxuan also laughed, "Dad, where are the Daotai and Fantai now?"
"Son, later on, the world became more and more chaotic. First you beat me, then I beat you. Today Marshal Zhang was sent to the border, tomorrow Marshal Wu fell, and now the Japanese are coming again. I thought, our family has enough food and clothing, as long as our family is stable, that would be enough."
Duan Wenxuan didn't know what his father was going to say, so he fell silent.
"I sent your mother and all the family members to Tianjin. Now, it's just the two of us. My son, your father can only count on an abacus, and I don't have much ambition. I don't quite understand what those students are saying, such as saving the nation or trying to survive. I know it's the truth, but I don't know what to do. I only want to tell you that you are the only child in my Duan family, and I hope you can be smart and not get yourself involved. Also, you have to be particular about what you do. Even if you can't repay a favor with a thousand, you can't trip others up or use tricks on them. Wenxuan, do you understand?"
Duan Wenxuan was stunned for a while, then he picked up the wine cup and drank it all, "Dad, I understand."
Shopkeeper Duan laughed twice, stood up and went back to his bedroom. Before leaving, he turned around and said, "I've told the accountant that if you need money in the future, just go to the cashier and withdraw as much as you want."
After saying this, Shopkeeper Duan left the house.
Duan Wenxuan sat at the table in a daze and didn't get up until night.
...................
"Start the dishes! Start the dishes! I say, watch your step and don't make any mistakes. It's New Year's Day and it's unlucky!"
Compared with the deserted Duan Residence, the Lin Residence is extremely lively.
It was a cold day, but Niu Saner was busy working and sweating, directing the servants to deliver vegetables to the back house.
The reason why the Lin Mansion was so lively was not only because there were more female relatives in the family, but also because the three Yamaguchi sisters had come. Miyamoto was in Tianjin and couldn't come back, so Lin Ze simply called Mieko to come as well, so they could celebrate the New Year together in a lively manner.
With more people, Lin Ze's status is higher than before, and the New Year celebrations are more grand.
Many of the ingredients were prepared several days in advance. Niu Saner attached great importance to the menu and prepared it personally, revising it again and again before finally sending it to Lin Ze for review.
The main room in the backyard was warm and cozy. There was a big table on it. In addition to endless delicacies, there were also several pots with candles lit underneath.
There was no distinction between big and small tables today. Lin Ze asked everyone to sit at the table. They refused at first, but they couldn't stand Lin Ze's glare.
Of course Lin Ze sat in the main seat. Originally, Xiyue and Ruoxue were asked to sit on both sides, but the two sisters insisted on letting Yamaguchi Mohui sit next to Lin Ze, so Ruoxue switched seats with Mohui.
The remaining women sat down one by one, and Lin Ze nodded with satisfaction. Well, very harmonious!
"Today is our family reunion dinner. Don't be shy. Eat as much as you can. We are all family!"
After hearing this, Yamaguchi Ayaka blushed, Mieko showed an obsessed look, and the others looked very happy.
Natsuko Yamaguchi exclaimed in her clip voice: "Siguoyi! Brother-in-law, what a sumptuous dinner!"
Lin Ze looked at his sister-in-law and said, "Well, the table is of just the right height. Natsuko can rest on it without feeling tired."
The banquet was about to begin, Lin Ze rang the bell, and Niu Saner ran outside.
"Master, what's your order?"
"Niu Saner, come and eat together!"
"Master, you eat first. There are more dishes to come. I have to keep an eye on them. I'll come over later!"
Hearing Lin Ze's words, Niu Saner felt extremely happy.
Of course he wouldn't come to disturb her, but even if Lin Ze just invited her politely, it showed that he was thinking about her.
Why didn’t Mr. Lin invite others?
Niu Saner asked the maids, old women, guards and servants to prepare several tables of dishes to thank them for their hard work throughout the year.
Then he took a plate of peanuts and a bowl of stewed chicken and returned to his room in the back building.
He made an exception and poured himself a cup of wine, probably less than one or two ounces, picked up a peanut, and took another sip of the wine.
Listening to the lively noise outside, Niu Saner smiled happily.
