The Rice Pot Next Door

Chapter 72

Views:

Qiao Feng's parents live on the campus of University A. From the outside, the house is a bit old, but the decoration in the room is exquisite and warm, with bright colors and a refreshing feeling. The couple have lived in this house for more than 30 years. The sons have repeatedly asked for them to change to a bigger house, but they have been refused.

Just like Dad Wu, Ms. Qiao is younger than her actual age. She is well maintained, her skin is white and wrinkles are not obvious, but crow's feet appear in the corners of her eyes when she smiles. She likes to laugh again, and doesn't care about the troubles of crow's feet.

When Mother Joe came to open the door, Lanshan smiled brightly and called her "auntie" sweetly. Mother Joe smiled and agreed and led the two children into the house.

Today, Wu's family is very complete. Old Wu and Wu Wen are here. Besides them, there is an elderly person sitting on the sofa in the living room. The old man's hair was almost white and full of energy. He wore a pair of reading glasses and a clean ironed Chinese tunic. When he saw the blue shirt and Qiao Feng walk into the living room, he tilted his head slightly and looked at them.

Of course, the point is to look at the blue shirt.

The old man's complexion was ruddy, and his face was carved with deep lines over the years. When looking at the blue shirt, there was no slight change in the lines of his face, like a sculpture, giving people a sense of not anger and self-prestige.

Needless to say, Lanshan also knows who this is—this is Qiao Feng's grandfather of the village chief. The fragrant rice produced by the old man is her favorite, and Lanshan feels cordial when she sees him. But the old man is quite aura, and he deserves to be the village head.

Qiao Feng didn't expect his grandfather to be here. Really, his parents didn't tell him in advance. He was afraid that the blue shirt was nervous, so he pulled her hand.

Lanshan was not nervous at all, greeted the Wu family generously, and said to Grandpa Wu, "Grandpa, I want to thank you for planting such delicious fragrant rice. I don't even eat it all day long!"

Grandpa Wu's facial expression was a little loose. He glanced at Qiao Feng and keenly caught the point, "Are you already eating in a pot?"

"Cough." Lanshan covered his mouth and coughed lightly, lowering his head embarrassedly.

Mother Qiao greeted her to sit down, and Wu Wen poured Lanshan a cup of tea. Then Mother Qiao turned around and went to the kitchen, and before she left, she caught Wu Wen's young man.

Lanshan quickly stood up, "Auntie, shall I cook for you?"

"No need, you sit down!"

Qiao Feng took Lanshan's hand and smiled, "What can you do for me, the vegetables can't be picked."

One sentence shattered the illusion of virtue she was trying to create.

Old Wu is a little funny, his own son is really stupid.

Fortunately, the blue shirt is not a twitchy little girl. After being exposed, she didn't feel too uncomfortable. She smiled and passed away. Lao Wu found that the girlfriend Qiao Feng was looking for was really the right one, not to mention other things, just the personality, and the two are very good match. Qiao Feng is too shy, so he should find someone with a generous personality to complement each other.

Lanshan sat back on the sofa and chatted with the two elders. She was really curious about Grandpa Wu, so she asked, "Grandpa, where are you from?"

Probably because I just heard the other party say that he likes the rice he grows by himself, now Grandpa Wu’s expression is not so serious. He replied, "I am from Hunan."

"Hunan is good, and Chairman Mao is a fellow."

Grandpa Wu smiled. No matter what you have experienced in the past, in the minds of the older generation, the three words "Chairman Mao" are always heavy. Lanshan asked again, "Grandpa, how many people are there in your village?"

"There are more than four thousand people."

"Ah, that's not a small village, how many acres of land is there?"

"More than 6,000 mu is a big village."

Listening to the conversation between the old and the young, Wu always felt weird. Is the blue shirt's focus off-track? Why are you so interested in the population and land of their hometown... That's a place where you only go back to sweep the tomb every year...

But anyway, the old man chatted happily with Lanshan, and seemed to like her very much. Qiao Feng hesitated several times and then stopped, as if to explain something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Wu Wen in the kitchen suddenly shouted, "Qiao Feng, come and help!"

Qiao Feng then got up and went to the kitchen.

Mum Qiao and Dad Wu are actually not good at cooking, not even Wu Wen. When the brothers were young, they grew up eating food in the A-sized canteen. Afterwards, Qiao Feng became interested in cooking, read many books, learned by himself, and gradually became an outlier of this "home who can't cook."

Today, Qiao’s mother was very happy. She had planned to cook a table of dishes herself, but she overestimated her level, and now she can’t hold it anymore.

Wu Wenzheng was standing next to the trash can picking vegetables. He held a small watery rapeseed in his hand and peeled it layer by layer until only one heart was left, so he threw the heart on the plate and took it. Take another peel.

Many poisonous vegetable leaves have accumulated in the trash can.

Qiao Feng was very strange, "Why did you strip the small rapeseed?"

Wu Wen exploded his hair, "What are you talking about, why are you so lustful?"

Qiao Feng shut his mouth and looked at him innocently.

Mother Qiao was cutting vegetables, and when she turned her head to see Wu Wen picking vegetables like this, she immediately said angrily, "We are running out of leftover ingredients! You are still wasting like this!"

Qiao Feng shook his head, rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands, and went to battle himself. He had only one request of his mother and brother, "Thank you to stand a little further away and don't get in the way of me."

The two were very obedient, stepped back a little, and turned their heads to listen to the laughter coming from the living room. Mom Qiao said in surprise, "Why isn't the blue shirt afraid of your grandfather?"

Wu Wen was also very strange, "Not only is he not afraid, he also coaxes the old man so happy, just like picking up money."

Qiao Feng's movements paused for a while, and he hesitated, "She seems to be... a little misunderstood."

"What's the misunderstanding?"

"She thought grandpa was the village chief."

"..."

"..."

There was a burst of laughter in the kitchen. Wu Wen smiled and scratched the wall, "What a talent!"

The "talent" blue shirt was finally exposed. In fact, Grandpa Wu doesn’t look like a farmer in temperament, but Lanshan always thinks he is preconceived. When we met, he ignored this question, only when the farmers’ lives are getting better and better these days. style. When she heard Grandpa Wu say what her comrade-in-arms were doing, she felt strange: "Grandpa, have you ever been a soldier?"

Grandpa Wu was taken aback, "Yes, I joined the revolution when I was a teenager."

Old Wu was also surprised, "Blue shirt, Qiao Feng didn't tell you?"

"No," Lan Shan shook his head and looked at Grandpa Wu, "I knew Grandpa you were the head of the village."

Lao Wu was choked by the tea and coughed violently while covering his mouth.

Grandpa Wu glanced at his son, and shook his head with restrained laughter, "Qiao Feng is teasing you, that kid is bad, don't listen to him... I have been a lot in my life, but I have never been a village chief."

Blue shirt was really embarrassed, "Huh? I'm sorry, I'm so embarrassed, I always thought..."

Grandpa Wu smiled and waved, "It's okay, it's nice to be the village head."

The blue shirt made a fool of himself, his face flushed, and he squeezed his fingers nervously, like a schoolboy who made a mistake.

At this time, Qiao’s mother withdrew from the kitchen and returned to the living room to make a round, leaving her two sons to cook in the kitchen.

It is said that they are two sons, but Qiao Feng is actually doing it himself. He was cooking while Wu Wen was talking to him.

Wu Wen: "Xie Fengsheng called me."

"Um."

"Do you want to buy a 4S shop?"

"Um."

"Then after Xie Fengsheng found one, why didn't you stop it?"

"The transferor is Song Zicheng."

Wu Wen "cut" and said, "Look at your little belly, how long has Su Luo's affairs been in the past, do you still bear the hate until now?"

"I don't remember Su Luo cheating, but Song Zicheng has pursued the blue shirt."

It turned out to be like this... Wu Wen scratched his chin and finally figured it out. Wu Wen is a businessman thinking, a 4S shop, even if you don’t operate it after buying it, you can make 10 million yuan with one hand. Such a huge pie, he thought it was a trap at first, but Xie Fengsheng’s kind of human spirit, It's not like someone who makes low-level mistakes. So he couldn't figure it out. Blame Xie Fengsheng for not clarifying what he said.

Wu Wen thought to himself, that Song Zicheng is really a pure stupid! Doing business is one thing, chasing girls is another thing, how can we get together? Just for a girl, so much money, or on the premise that there is no hope of catching up with the girl, is this person's brain flooded

Song Zicheng is a well-known rich second generation in the business circle. His family has a big business. He has reached the point of "no need to compare money with me, no one is richer than me anyway." Not surprising, it is strange that the way this person burns money is really unique...

Wu Wen and Song Zicheng had been in contact, although they didn't like him, but at the time they also felt that it was a human being. Now it seems, ha ha.

It is not Wu Wen's style to have the advantage and not take it. He came closer and asked Qiao Feng, "So, just because Song Zicheng was your rival in love before, you wouldn't buy his company?"

Qiao Feng nodded, "Yes."

"Qiao Feng, your idea is wrong, I think, if you are a rival in love, you should buy it more."

Qiao Feng turned to look at him, "Why?"

"Look, what do the male lions in the animal world do first when they enter a place? Pee, occupy the territory, and then soak the female lion on the ground. Two male lions fight, the one that wins, the female lion returns It, the site belongs to it. In the same way, that 4S shop is Song Zicheng's site, why don't you occupy it? You can't just win the blue shirt, you have to win the site, this is the man."

Qiao Feng unexpectedly felt that his brother made sense, so he nodded, "Go on."

"Besides, didn't Lanshan always want to do this? You bear the heart to watch her run to work at someone else's house? Don't tell me if you are a small, low-compensation smiley face, if you are targeted by a male customer or male boss, you will be wronged. !"

"I said, she wouldn't listen."

"Is her character like an obedient person? What you have to do now is to quickly buy the car dealership. Then she will be the boss’s wife. Who dares to give her a face? And she has been there for several years, and she has become familiar with each other. The relationship is good, right? Why need to move? Besides, the relationship between Song Zicheng and the 4S store is just an ownership, he hasn't intervened in the management, right? After the money factor, what did he leave in that store? Nothing. No. Flip your hand, who remembers who the former boss is? What a simple thing, what are you saying about your hypocrisy with that?"

Qiao Feng was persuaded.

***

When Lanshan received the call to pass the interview, Qiao Feng was going through the transfer procedures with Song Zicheng in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. The two were very tacitly ignorant of anyone. After completing the formalities, Song Zicheng had nothing to do with the car dealership that he drove on a whim. He took a long sigh of relief like a burden, feeling that he could finally bury something.

Xie Fengsheng was telling Qiao Feng about some of the change procedures that he needed next. Qiao Feng was impatient when he heard it, and replied, "Why don't you do it for me."

Xie Fengsheng coldly snorted, "Don't think about it! Qiao Feng, I warn you, I have tolerated you for a long time."

Song Zicheng opened his mouth and said his first sentence after seeing Qiao Feng today, "Qiao Feng, let's talk."

Qiao Feng looked at him inexplicably, "What can I talk to you?"

"It's time to talk." Xie Fengsheng nodded, thinking, somehow they are bleeding heavily. Based on their determination to take advantage of Qiao Feng and their uneasy feelings about Qiao Feng, neither Xie Fengsheng nor Wu Wen mentioned anything about 10 million to Qiao Feng. If they didn't mention it, it would be difficult for him to pay attention.

So Xie Fengsheng went to the bathroom.

Song Zicheng didn't want to talk to Qiao Feng either. But he has a question that he has to ask to be reconciled: "I have always been curious, how exactly did you conquer her? What is the basis?"

Qiao Feng shook his head, "You are wrong. What the blue shirt needs is not conquest, but care."

Song Zicheng was startled.

Qiao Feng really didn't want to see him at a glance, so he turned and stood by the window and began to study the next process.

Song Zicheng left in silence.

When Qiao Feng returned home in the evening, Lanshan happily told him that she would be able to go to work at that 4S store this Friday. As the sales manager, she was going to make a big splash, oh!

Qiao Feng smiled and told her, "Don't go, I bought one for you."

The blue shirt scared to pee directly.

Qiao Feng smiled and stroked her dog's head, and continued, "This is my betrothal gift, and we will pass by your name when we get married."

"Don't," Lanshan's heart trembled, "This is worth tens of millions, right? I have to make up a similar dowry for how much you do. I don’t have tens of millions of dowry if I sell iron! No more, I don’t have any..."

"No, the dowry and dowry are used by the couple to live together. You can get as much as you can. The most important thing is that you can come over."

The blue shirt was almost crying, "No, I still feel hot... I always feel like I'm taking advantage of you."

Qiao Feng was a little disappointed when he heard this, "You must be so clear with me? We will be husband and wife in the future."

"You still have a glass heart," Lanshan couldn't laugh or cry. "It's alright, I'll talk about this later."

"Then you go to work in our car dealership?"

Lanshan was a little embarrassed, "What am I going to do? I want to be a sales manager, so I can't squeeze Lao Wang away? He has been taking care of me."

"Go to be the general manager. It turns out that the general manager is sick and will resign."

The blue shirt was a little excited, and pointed to his nose, "I, I, I, can I?"

"Why not? If you have experience and talent, you should have confidence." Qiao Feng encouraged her decently.

"What if you lose money?"

"It doesn't matter, we can afford it!"

"..." The blue shirt looked at him intently, "Don't worry, I will not let it lose money!"

Qiao Feng is now the boss and can directly appoint Lanshan. However, before the official letter of appointment, he has to make three chapters with her and make clear provisions.

"General Manager Code of Conduct":

1. The general manager must be good at decentralizing powers, as long as the general direction of the company is in charge, and nothing is too small.

2.

3. The working hours of the general manager shall not exceed 36 hours per week. At least two rest days must be guaranteed every week.

4.

5. The general manager must be vigilant and strictly guard against the courtesy of any male employees and male customers.

6.

7. The general manager must eat at the time set by the boss. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are not allowed to be skipped, and not to eat indiscriminately.

8.

9. Encourage late arrival and early departure, encourage absenteeism.

10.

11....

12.

After reading all the guidelines, Lanshan finally signed his name in the lower right corner.

After two days, Lanshan went to work.

There are familiar faces in the company. In order to prevent everyone from suspicion about her relationship with Song Zicheng, Lanshan brought her boss to work. As soon as Qiao Feng appeared, she reaped a group of female fans by relying on her face. Blue Shirt was a little dissatisfied and deliberately took his hand. Qiao Feng responded in a high manner, calling her "dear" in front of everyone.

The two openly showed their affection and blinded a group of dogs on the spot.

In the first two days of joining the company, Lanshan has been looking at the information to understand the situation of each department. When she saw the information from the sales department, she found the order she had received in April. Wu Wen ordered a R8 for Qiao Feng here. At that time, Lanshan wasn't happy and crazy, but Qiao Feng didn't want to live or die, so the deposit was kept pressed. Lanshan called Wu Wen once when she left the job last time, but Wu Wen let her go and asked her to go directly to Qiao Feng. Lanshan knew that Qiao Feng didn't want to buy a car, so she didn't ask him at the time, and after she treated Qiao Feng as her own, she was reluctant to fool him into buying a luxury car with big money.

So she forwarded the order to her colleague Hao Min, and directly refunded Wu Wen when the order expired.

Now look at the time, it is not far from expiration. Lanshan didn't even need to call, as long as he asked Wu Wen for a refund when it was due, so he didn't need to push it again.

As soon as Lanshan got acquainted with the company environment, they ushered in the Golden Week of November. This is a critical period for car sales. Lanshan is not as busy as the front-line employees, but they have not closed for a week.

Qiao Feng was very dissatisfied and accused her of violating the rules and must accept punishment.

The scale of punishment is a bit big. The next day, Blue Shirt stayed in bed all day long. One reason is tired, another reason... also tired...

There is an auto show after the National Day, the marketing department and sales department are very well prepared, as the general manager, Lan Shan is very responsible and personally present. More than that, she also brought Qiao Feng with him.

This time, Qiao Feng's role is: childcare.

He was standing next to a car, pretending to ask the sales staff about the performance, price, etc. of certain models. The person responsible for answering her was Hao Min, the salesperson. Both of them had written the words together, but Hao Min saw the handsome boss, so nervous and incoherent for a while, she was afraid that the general manager suspected that she had a crush on the boss and pursued her. , So I get more nervous, and the result is more incoherent...

The blue shirt hated iron and steel, shook his head, pulled Hao Min away, and went to battle in person.

Qiao Feng looked at her with a smile, and pointed to a car not far away, "Thank you for introducing that one for me."

That one is a white R8. As a luxury car, many people were taking pictures around it. The blue shirt led Qiao Feng over and explained it to him professionally. Many people around were listening carefully, nodding their heads as they listened.

Qiao Feng smiled and finished listening, and snapped his fingers, "I want this one."

Lanshan thought to himself that the acting skills of the brat are pretty good. She smiled and stretched out her hand in a "please" gesture, "Okay, sir, please come with me to register."

After the two walked away, Lanshan secretly said to Qiao Feng, "In fact, we can't act next to the R8. Anyway, there are not many people buying this car. We should praise it next to a car with a slightly less expensive price."

Qiao Feng smiled and nodded, and then asked, "Where can I pay?"

"what?"

Qiao Feng touched her head and repeated it again, "Where can I pay?"

"No, that's it, you... You got too deep into the show, right?"

"I want to buy a car."

The blue shirt touched his forehead on tiptoe, "Qiao Feng, what's the matter with you?"

"My license plate number is about to expire, don't I still have an order with you? It happens to be settled and picked up today."

Lanshan didn't believe it, "Didn't you always reluctant to buy a car?"

"It's different now. I want to take you to and from get off work. I don't want you to squeeze the subway."

Blue shirt covered his mouth and looked at him moved.

Qiao Feng pursed his lips and smiled.

But the blue shirt still feels that buying R8 is too expensive. However, Qiao Feng was persuaded by her explanation just now, and firmly believes that this car is great and great. It is a pity not to buy such a great car home.

So, um, he quickly made up the balance.

The car at the scene could not be driven away, and there was another white R8 in their inventory. So the two went back to the 4S store to pick up the car, and then drove the luxury sports car around the city.

When returning home at night, Qiao Feng made Lanshan her favorite lobster. He turned off the lights in the house, lit candles, and the two had a candlelight dinner at the table.

Lanshan was especially touched today, and again affected by the romantic atmosphere of the candlelight dinner, she got a hot mind and took the initiative to kiss Qiao Feng. She put her arms around his neck, pressed her body against him, rubbing gently.

Qiao Feng pushed her away with effort, and tried his best to endure, "Blue shirt, you go back first."

Lanshan didn't expect that his first initiative would be rejected by him. She was a little frustrated and walked away dejected.

However, as soon as she got home, Qiao Feng called her again. The blue shirt took it angrily, "What are you doing again? You let me go home!"

Qiao Feng smiled, "Blue shirt, go to the balcony."

Lanshan's house also has a balcony, which is next to Qiao Feng's house, but it is very small, and the role for her is to dry clothes. She turned on the balcony light and walked over to find that her clothes had been taken away, replaced by red roses in a place. These roses are placed next to the balcony guardrail, watery, exuding a strong fragrance.

Lanshan smiled and said to himself, "Idiot, always put flowers on the balcony."

At this time, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from the balcony next door, with a faint smile, "The rice bucket next door."

Lanshan looked sideways and found that Qiao Feng was also standing on the balcony, looking at her through a narrow gap. Under the white porcelain chandelier as thin as an eggshell, he has picturesque eyebrows and a gentle smile, looking at her with a full smile.

Lanshan was still angry, so he only uttered one syllable, "Ah."

Qiao Feng asked, "You have eaten so much of my food, what do you plan to pay back?"

Have you finally remembered the debt collection... Lanshan grumbled, and asked without thinking, "How much do you want?"

He laughed again, "Money? I don't want money, I only want people."

That said, the blue shirt finally got a bit of an aftertaste. Looking at the red roses all over the floor, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, "So you are...?" Isn't it what she thought

Qiao Feng smiled without answering, he bent down and picked up a fat cat from the ground and placed it in front of the guardrail.

Schrödinger has had great opinions on him since its owner disappeared inexplicably and then returned inexplicably. On the contrary, it looked more and more pleasing to the eyes of the blue shirt. At this moment, there was a narrow gap between it, and without hesitation, it kicked its back foot, and once it jumped, it landed at the foot of the blue shirt.

The blue shirt bent over to pick up the little guy. She found that it was wearing a collar today, but a diamond ring was hung at the place where the small bell should have been hung under the neck. Lanshan's heart was hot, she took off the diamond ring and glanced at Qiao Feng secretly.

Qiao Feng smiled like spring water, "Blue shirt, marry me, okay?"

Her eyes were red, her lips curled, "It's Schrödinger's face... Okay."
