The house really has a sense of belonging. Since buying the house, Ye Lan feels that her sense of security has greatly improved, and her confidence is different. If she knew this, she would have bought it long ago.
"Eldest sister, do you feel that the second sister has changed a lot?" In fact, the second sister became more confident after she was admitted to university, but she felt even more different after she got a house.
Ye Ning observed it carefully, and it was true.
As a woman, she can understand Ye Lan's feelings. Girls, especially girls at this time, are really like duckweeds without roots. Her mother's family belongs to her brother, and her in-law's family belongs to her husband. The feeling of owning a house of her own... Ye Ning had experienced it when she bought this courtyard house.
"Such a change is a good thing. Our mother...is a little biased. Xiaolan is caught in the middle, and it is inevitable that she will be ignored. In fact, she is very insecure. If she has a house, she has a home by herself, and she has a home in her heart." Eccentric, it is very eccentric at all, one is that Ye Lan is really inconspicuous, and the other is that the one in the middle is more disadvantaged.
Even though Ye Eucalyptus is only 11 years old, he understands the truth. When he was a child, he envied his mother for being the best to his eldest sister. As the neglected second sister, he can imagine that her second sister is doing well now, and her spirit is different.
"I see. Eldest sister, brother Ping'an moved a lot of things to the new house today, but I don't know what they are." Ye Yu and Ye Ning complained.
The company is too busy. Ye Ning was at the company all day today, and she came back at meal time. She didn't see Sheng Jingchuan coming back for dinner, and she didn't have a mobile phone. Worrying was useless. When Ye Yu said that he had been back, she was curious up.
"When did he come back, a lot of things?" What can I bring to the new house
"It looked like five o'clock in the afternoon. They came in a pickup truck, and there were two men with them. They left after putting their things in the new house, saying that there were still some things to move." As for what it was, Eucalyptus Ye did not know Not sure, he even chased after him to ask, but Sheng Jingchuan didn't answer.
Ye Ning was wondering, when she heard footsteps coming from outside the yard, when she went out, she saw Sheng Jingchuan coming back with two big bags.
"What are you talking about? I just heard from Xiao An that you moved a lot of things to my house, what is it?" Seeing that his bag was still moving, Ye Ning took a step back in fear.
Seeing her like this, Sheng Jingchuan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, it's fish. Gangzi got it from somewhere. It looks very fresh. I brought two bags back."
After the fourth aunt took care of the things, Sheng Jingchuan washed his hands, took Ye Ning and sat down in the living room, "I still remember the first time we went to Yangcheng, when you bought a TV, I didn't buy a washing machine, I originally wanted to give it to you. You took it as a housewarming, but I didn’t expect that I would start an electrical appliance business myself, and that washing machine was outdated, so I took it to the store and sold it, and it happened that your house lacked a lot of appliances, so I brought them here.”
She just bought a TV, did Sheng Jingchuan buy it
"Not much, just a TV, a refrigerator and a washing machine. The TV you bought before was too small for the living room. I bought a big one, and the small one is for your room." Sheng Jingchuan said lightly.
Indeed, for most people, three pieces of electrical appliances may be a very important gift. As far as Sheng Jingchuan's financial resources are concerned, it is really not worth mentioning. A better watch would do.
"I won't refuse, my partner gave it to me, why should I refuse?" Ye Ning looked at him arrogantly.
The corners of Sheng Jingchuan's mouth could not be restrained from rising, and he chuckled instead.
"Go around the house tomorrow and see if there is anything missing." He has already walked around today, and the original old furniture is still there. Otherwise, he can change to a sofa, and there seems to be nothing else missing.
In two days' time it will be the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and Ye Ning's sister and brother took out the quilt and quilt to dry in the sun, made the bed, touched the soft quilt, and now want to sleep in their own home.
There are many customs of housewarming at this time, especially those like Ye Ning and others who borrowed from other people’s homes, they are very particular about what to bring back to their own home first, it seems that they will take away the good feng shui of the host’s home, and some hosts will Hang a red cloth in front of the door so that Feng Shui cannot be taken away.
Ye Ning also heard the old man mention it, so she asked the old lady what is special about Beicheng, they are very careful.
"Pay attention to what, it's all feudal superstition, so there's so much to pay attention to." Mrs. Sheng refused straight away. One is that they don't believe it at all, and the other is that Ye Ning will become a family with them sooner or later. Since they are a family, why not say What to take away or bring.
In Beijing, where there are no relatives or friends, there is no housewarming banquet, and only a table is cooked at home, and the old man, old lady, and fourth aunt are invited to have a meal, which is considered as a celebration of moving to a new house.
"This house is well renovated, very good." The old lady entered Ye Ning's house for the first time, walked around and nodded with satisfaction.
"I didn't ask them to change the appearance. I only added a bathroom in the room, and the kitchen was rebuilt. The original old kitchen was too troublesome to light a fire." The kitchen was changed into a modern kitchen, which is much more convenient for washing and cutting vegetables. .
The stove is also kept, and it can occasionally cook a meal on the stove, but Ye Ning thinks that she will rarely use it in the future.
After seeing off the old lady and the others, the three brothers and sisters were not in a hurry to clean up the dishes, so they each took a chair in the living room, sat casually, and looked at each other.
No matter how good the old man and the old lady are to them, they are not their own family after all. They will restrain themselves in speaking and doing things. They can lean casually like now, cross their legs, or even spread them out. It doesn't matter. No one talks about you like this in Sheng's house, but you would not do so.
Someone else's home is always someone else's home, Ye Ning propped her chin and chuckled, "It's better to be at home."
"Yes, you can do whatever you want." Eucalyptus Ye agreed.
Although Ye Lan didn't speak, her expression clearly expressed her agreement.
The house is big enough to be comfortable to live in, but it is troublesome to clean it. Ye Ning actually wants to find an aunt, but Ye Lan disagrees. There is only such a thing at home, so there is no need to spend money to find someone.
"Ye Eucalyptus and I have nothing to do after class, we will clean up." Before the Fourth Aunt came, they didn't all clean the Sheng's house, and they didn't feel too tired.
Eucalyptus Ye on the side nodded, can this work be compared with the farm work at home? I used to get up before dawn to go up the mountain to cut pigweed, occasionally to pick up raw matches, herd cows and chickens, and help with some housework at home, which is not as tiring as it is now.
If you don't agree, don't agree. Anyway, they don't eat at home for a few noons. Whoever comes back first will cook dinner. It's okay to go to Sheng's house occasionally for a meal.
After the house was finally moved, Ye Ning put most of his energy into the company. Huang Suming's ability to work was really strong. Ye Ning told him the number of the design draft he liked, and immediately contacted the foundry to produce samples. The second batch of goods was sent to Ye Ning, and when Ye Ning was confirmed, he would go directly to the foundry for production.
Now the first batch of clothes has been produced, and the shape and quality are very good. The style is designed by a designer Huang Suming hired from Xiangjiang with a high salary, and it has been verified by Ye Ning, basically no problem.
As early as when she received the design draft, Ye Ning changed the billboard of the clothing store and changed it to a ynx store, with Beicheng Xinghua Street store written on it.
Then Tang Yan started to do activities, clearing all the previous clothes. By the way, comrades new and old customers will replace them with Xiangjiang's "well-known" brand stores. Anyway, customers who know the news only think that the grade here is higher, absolutely not. Think of others.
The main reason is that Ye Ning has already made word of mouth. Her clothes are fashionable and of good quality. She is notorious, and she will not lie, so no one doubts her when she says that it will be a store of a big Xiangjiang brand.
In order to be worthy of this trust, Ye Ning has very strict requirements on this batch of clothes. It can be said to be harsh, as long as one stitch is wrong, it will not work. Anyway, what kind of export, this batch of goods must have what specifications.
Perhaps because Huang Suming is from Xiangjiang, various businesses are easier to talk about than Ye Ning, and those bosses also take his request for granted. Ye Ning doesn't know whether to be angry or happy when he finds out.
After receiving the first batch of clothes, Ye Ning randomly took out a piece to check. The fit and style were very high-grade, at least two grades higher than those clothes sold before, and the price was of course also a grade, but come to buy clothes None of the customers have any complaints. There is nothing to be dissatisfied with.
After all, Ye Ning's side is targeting mid-to-high-end customers. They are more interested in the quality of the clothes. As long as the clothes are good enough, it doesn't matter if the price is a little higher.
"Your boss is really getting better and better. He directly represents Xiangjiang's brand, but what does ynx mean?" Xiaoyu changed into a dress and asked emotionally while looking in the mirror.
"Our boss said it was an English abbreviation. It seems to mean that you are wireless and beautiful." Gu Min helped her arrange the skirt, and said with admiration: "Our boss has always been very powerful."
How can there be any special meaning, that is, the initial capital letter of Ye Ning's own name, adding an x is purely for the sake of the trademark. When Gu Min asked her, she was stunned for a moment, and said to her casually, she did not expect her to follow her like this The customer said it.
Looking at Gu Min, who is like a little girl, Xiao Yu couldn't help smiling. Ye Ning is indeed very good, otherwise she wouldn't be with Senior Sheng. Thinking of this, she would think of Wang Yao's love that ended before it even started .
ah! Almost forgot what Wang Yao told her.
"When does your boss usually come over? I have come here several times without seeing her. A friend of mine is also a good friend of your boss. She has something to bring her."
When they met here that day, Gu Min happened to be nearby, so she knew who the friend she was talking about was.
"Our boss comes here every day, but he seldom comes here in the store. He usually stays in the company, just behind us, not very far away." Gu Min said.
According to the address given by Gu Min, Xiao Yu found Ye Ning and gave her the things Wang Yao told her.
A letter and a gift.
Ye Ning opened the letter first, and after reading the letter, she was silent for a long time.
"Wang Yao went abroad? Why didn't you tell me?" After the new year, she has been very busy, so she didn't go to Wang Yao. When she came back from Yangcheng last time, she heard from Gu Min that Wang Yao came to buy clothes. Ye Ning originally planned to wait until she was busy. I went to find her for dinner for a while, but I didn't expect her to go abroad.
"I came with her last time, but you seemed to be in Yangcheng at that time. This time the school only has two places. It is not easy for Wang Yao to get one. There are too many things. She didn't tell you on purpose." Xiao Yu was afraid that Ye Ning would misunderstand, "She applied for it a long time ago, and you didn't come to Beicheng at that time, and you didn't even think that you would be selected. Such a rare opportunity, of course you can't let it go."
"I don't mean anything else, I just regret that I didn't say goodbye to her. She went abroad, and I won't see her for several years. When will she return to China?" Ye Ning sighed.
"I don't know, maybe I will come back for the holiday." Xiao Yu shook her head, she was not very clear about the details.
"Yaoyao is really good. When she comes back from her studies, she will not be allowed to choose any unit." Ye Ning really thinks that Wang Yao is very good. North City University, the highest school, can still have two places for her. The emperor is proud.
"Come back? Why come back? How nice it is to go abroad." Xiao Yu looked at Ye Ning in puzzlement.
Now how many people want to go abroad but have no way out, why come back after going out so easily
Ye Ning fell silent for a moment. At this time, everyone wanted to go abroad, and felt that the moon in foreign countries was rounder. Not to mention now, many people would think so even after thirty or fifty years, but Ye Ning only felt that his own country was the best. the best.
"Is Yaoyao going to stay abroad? She has only one daughter in her family, what will happen when her parents get older?" Ye Ning hopes that Wang Yao can return to China.
"When her parents retire, she can be taken abroad." Xiaoyu couldn't understand Ye Ning.
Okay, the two have different ideas, Ye Ning no longer entangles this issue, thinking of Wang Yao's letter saying that she went abroad with her partner, and she is still Xiaoyu's brother, so she couldn't help asking: "Yaoyao is dating your brother, what's the situation?"
Well, Wang Yao likes Sheng Jingchuan. Ye Ning said that it is impossible not to care about it at all. It is not that she has any opinions on anyone, but she is worried that there will be a gap between her and Wang Yao's relationship, so she is more concerned about Wang Yao's emotional life. , if she can have a happy love, it would be the best.
"It's not my own brother, it's my cousin. He's already at work, and his unit sent him to study. His school is not far from Wang Yao's school, and it's a short drive away." Xiaoyu looked at Ye Ning and smiled. : "You don't have to worry too much, Yaoyao has really come out, and she is really dating my cousin, if she has someone else in her heart and still talks to my brother, I can't agree."
Xiaoyu is a person who does what he says. Last time, he really pulled out a few older brothers who had no partners to meet Wang Yao. Facing a beautiful woman with a good body and high knowledge, even men would be tempted. Xiaoyu's expression Brother even fell in love with Wang Yao at first sight. After that day, he launched a fierce pursuit, and finally embraced the beauty at the beginning of the year.
The relationship between the two quickly heated up. When Wang Yao got the opportunity to go abroad, she hesitated whether to stay for the object. After the cousin knew about it, he managed to get a quota for going abroad in the unit, and then went abroad together.
Ye Ning believes that there is no reason to bully her cousin, as long as Wang Yao is happy.
Opening the gift, there was a bracelet with stars inside. Seeing this, Xiao Yu raised her hand and shook it, "I have one too, and Yaoyao herself has one. She said it is a bracelet representing friendship, so you don't need to wear it all the time. Just don't lose it."
Ye Ning smiled slightly, took off the chain on her hand, and put on a star bracelet, "It's very beautiful."
"Of course." Xiao Yu raised her chin, "This is our own design, you can look through the stars, there are each of our names and birthdays on it, and it was specially customized by someone."
Ye Ning has been selling jewelry for so long, and she can tell at a glance that the material of this chain is plastic, and she also found someone to customize it. It seems that it costs a lot, but several people are not short of money, so there is no need to mention this.
"Give me Yaoyao's address, and I'll write to her later."
After getting the address, Ye Ning looked at it for a long time, and immediately took out the letter paper to write a letter to Wang Yao, and then sent it abroad.
After get off work in the evening, and having dinner at Sheng's house today, Ye Ning casually told Sheng Jingchuan about Wang Yao's going abroad.
"Sister Wang Yao went abroad? When?" Ye Lan asked in surprise.
"It seems that in the few days when I came back from Yangcheng, you are a school, don't you know?" Ye Ning looked at Ye Lan curiously.
"I don't plan to go abroad, so I didn't pay attention to this." She is usually too busy studying, so how could she pay attention to these things.
"Don't be obsessed with studying, there are some things you should pay attention to." Ye Ning was actually quite worried that Ye Lan only studied, and it seemed that she had never seen her bring her classmates home. "If you have a good friend, you can take it home for fun."
"Understood." Ye Lan replied lightly.
She is already an adult, Ye Ning can't say much, just explain it and it's over.
The old lady on the side listened and said with a smile: "I have some impression of the Wang Yao you mentioned. She is a very smart child and works hard. Are you friends?"
"Yes, she and I are classmates and roommates in high school. It was thanks to her help that I was able to enter the pharmaceutical factory." Ye Ning smiled.
The old lady nodded and glanced at Ye Lan, "Has Xiao Lan thought about studying abroad? I can recommend it for you, but you have to come back after graduation. If you really stay abroad, your sister must blame me."
Ye Lan shook her head without any hesitation. Although she yearned for it, she liked her country and wanted to start working early and support her family with her sister.
Ye Ning's heart was relieved, she was not very willing for Ye Lan to go abroad, but she supported Ye Lan's postgraduate entrance examination.
"You don't have to start work so early, it's good to learn more." Ye Lan has good grades, and with the help of Grandpa Sheng and the others, there must be no problem in taking the postgraduate entrance examination.
"I'll think about it." Ye Lan said with a smile.
Hearing that they were going abroad and taking postgraduate entrance examinations again, Shuping, who came back rarely, squeezed her clothes tightly, her eyes flickering constantly, just wait, she will go abroad and take postgraduate entrance examinations in the future.
After dinner, the three Ye Ning siblings returned to their home, and Sheng Jingchuan followed. Ye Lan siblings were watching TV in the living room, and Ye Ning and Sheng Jingchuan were sitting in the courtyard watching the stars.
There are still stars all over the sky now, and in a few years, it is estimated that there will be no stars at all.
"How is the factory over there in Yangcheng, do you need help?" Sheng Jingchuan asked.
"No, Huang Suming is very capable, and the construction site has started smoothly. I believe it will be put into use by the end of the year. In addition to my own two stores, there are already three franchise stores in Beicheng. I don't plan to add any more. If there are more, it will affect the brand value. .” Just like some brands in her world, they were said to be big brands, but they were all over the street, and finally became low-end brands.
"I plan to open a home appliance city in Nanjiang Province. Are you going to expand your business there?" Sheng Jingchuan asked.
Ye Ning's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Let's still think about going together. I have already told the salesmen that I plan to recruit a general agent in Nanjiang Province. I have already asked Wang Yu to prepare. I may go with you at that time. You Do you want to go too?"
The surrounding cities are directly handed over to other salespersons of the company. There are already several interested customers. Nanjiang Province is different. It happens to be in the turning point. As long as it wins there, South China can be developed in the future.
This and Sheng Jingchuan thought of going together again. The two discussed how to arrange the follow-up route, and many places coincided with each other. It was after ten o'clock that Sheng Jingchuan returned to his home. When he entered the door, he was startled by the grandma in the room. .
"Grandma, what are you doing in my room so late?"
"What's more, when I asked you when you got engaged last time, Xiao Ning said that after the housewarming, it has been almost a month now, why is there no news at all." No matter how open-minded the old lady is, she is in a hurry. Not at home, I used to have dinner together, but now I don’t even eat dinner together, Xiao Ning is so beautiful and has such a big business, what should I do if someone snatches her away
Sheng Jingchuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Grandma, this matter is really not urgent."
"Then what's the rush? You're in a rush for business? You're never going to finish your business. Don't tell me you'll never get engaged? I didn't force you. Since you've already set up wine in your hometown, you should also set up a few tables here in Beicheng without much trouble." Do it, just make a few friends and tell others that you are engaged, what's the problem? You don't need to do anything for the engagement, just change your clothes and come out to show yourself." As long as the relationship is settled, it's justified Yes, not very good.
"I see, I will discuss it with Ye Ning later." Sheng Jingchuan said with a smile.
He had thought about this for a long time, and when the affairs in Nanjiang Province were over, he would propose.
