The next day, before he got up, Lin Feng received a call from his mother, telling him that his house had been built and asked him to go back and take a look. If there were no problems, he would have to pay the final payment.
So Lin Feng and Zhu Lin had no choice but to put up a temporary closure sign at the lounge bar and prepare to go home to check it out.
"Honey, I think we might as well recruit a clerk. Yesterday you welcomed the little girl to come today, but today we are closed for the day. This doesn't seem right."
"Well, it's okay, but our lounge bar isn't very profitable to begin with, and if we hire more people, it won't be enough." Zhu Lin said hesitantly.
"It's okay, we don't rely on this to make money. I still have money in the stock market and a lot in my account, which is enough for us to spend. The most important thing for us at this stage is to live happily. I have decided to recruit A store clerk, why don't you check with your relatives or something to see if there is someone suitable and more diligent."
"There is one. I have a cousin who just graduated from college and is looking for a job. I think she will come."
"You just graduated from college. Are you willing to come here? You have just stepped out of campus and have not been severely beaten by society. I guess you still need face. If you work as a waiter here, you will most likely lose face."
"No, she called me a few days ago to complain, saying that she had been looking for a job for several months but couldn't find a suitable job. Now she is willing to do it even if it means making the bed and folding the quilts. And as long as she is paid, what would a college student not want to do? Damn it, haven’t you seen that all the graduates from Wudaokou are working as nannies?”
"That's right. Alas, people nowadays are all money-oriented. They have long lost their literary character. They all bow down to money and become slaves."
"Okay, don't be sour. You are saying this now because you have money. If you don't have money, it won't be the same. This is the social trend."
"Yes, yes, my wife is right. I can stand and speak without pain in my back. Besides, in this era of short videos where everyone can speak out, public opinion has long been controlled by keyboard warriors who only know how to spit shit online all day long. Most people will just follow the trend stupidly, so I can only complain."
The two of them chatted and drove, and they were almost home.
"Wow, it's so beautiful." Zhu Lin had already seen the newly built house.
Lin Feng also looked towards a familiar place and saw a two-story pastoral style villa standing where his house used to be. Facing the outside were several huge floor-to-ceiling windows, which looked both modern and integrated with nature. Integrated, there is a row of three parking spaces on the left side of the yard outside, and the awning above is made of wood.
On the right side of the yard is a large pavilion, which is very similar to the one in Season 2 of Longing for Life. When it was first built, Lin Feng told the engineering team to build such a pavilion. It seems that they also went to see it. In that show, there was a barbecue stove next to the pavilion, two movable stoves, faucets, and a sink. They were also made of stone and looked great.
"You guys are here, let's take a look, how do you do?" Lin Feng's father came up and asked,
Lin Feng parked the car in the parking space, and with his father looking around, he just looked at it from a distance, and now he saw that the details everywhere were very well done, and they were not far from the pavilion. There is also a cellar where you can store fruits, vegetables, etc. in the winter. This is what Lin Feng requested. He wants to return to the feeling of childhood.
The door of the villa is a small European-style white door. It is not a traditional door. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a large living room. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows make the living room look very bright. There is also an open Western-style kitchen next to the dining table. To cook some meals without fumes, there is a Chinese kitchen next to it, which is closed. After all, most Chinese food has a lot of fumes.
The first floor is the parents' room and two smaller guest rooms, and the second floor is four rooms. On both sides are the rooms of the two brothers Lin Feng and Lin Lei. The middle one is a room for the future children. There was a terrace outside the room. Lin Feng stood on the terrace, holding on to the wrought iron railing, feeling very satisfied. This was what he wanted.
After calling the engineering team and paying the balance happily, Lin Feng took Zhu Lin to their room.
"Honey, how are you? Do you still like it here? Should we stay here more often in the future?"
"Okay, if you have time in the future, you can invite your friends to have dinner here. This is much more comfortable than those hotels. Just like the life we long for, this is the life we long for."
"Okay, then we won't go back tonight. Let's test the strength of this bed here."
"Fuck you, uncle and aunt are still here, don't try to cause trouble."
The two sat in the room for a while, then went downstairs to find Lin Feng's parents.
"Mom, are you running out of money? I saw that I haven't bought many home appliances yet. I will transfer 200,000 to you later so that you can eat better. You don't have to worry about the home appliances. Lin'er and I will buy them in the afternoon."
"Well, whatever home appliances you young people like, you can just buy them yourself. Your dad and I won't mess around."
"Well, Mom, what's for lunch? We came here without breakfast, so we're a little hungry."
"It's only ten o'clock and I want to have lunch. There is still some porridge in the pot. If you are hungry, make some for yourself. Lin'er, what do you want to eat? Auntie will make it for you now."
"Auntie, I can eat anything."
"Mom, is my status so low now? I want to eat wontons." Lin Feng said deliberately.
"Okay, let's eat wontons. You go buy the meat and let the boss mince it into mince. Also, today is our first time cooking in the new house. According to our custom, there is a ceremony of burning the bottom of the pot. You should just call your brother back, as well as the partner elsewhere, or you can just go and pick him up."
"Okay, I have the order!" Lin Feng also deliberately played a trick.
Lin Feng called his brother and learned that he and his future sister-in-law were at home, so Lin Feng went to pick them up and went to the farmer's market to buy some vegetables and meat on the way back.
"Didn't I ask you to grind the meat? What do you use your brain for all day?" Lin Feng was scolded by his mother as soon as he came back.
"Mom, I didn't let him grind it on purpose. I couldn't eat the meat from the meat grinder. I heard our classmate said that he had seen maggots in the meat grinder before, and they didn't wash it at all. It's mixed with the meat directly, and I can just chop the meat filling. Chopping it yourself will make it taste more chewy."
"That's alright. It's you who chopped it, so I don't need to put any effort into it."
With the help of his mother, Lin Feng chopped meat. Zhu Lin and Lin Feng's future sister-in-law Zheng Mengyuan helped her choose vegetables and make noodles. The family was very busy. Finally, at almost twelve o'clock, Lin Feng I ate my first wonton.
"I knew I should have eaten a bowl of beef noodles when I first went to the city. I was really starving to death." Lin Feng complained as he ate.
"Did I glue your mouth shut and prevent you from eating?" Mom asked.
"Mom, won't you be happy if you don't hurt me for a while?" Lin Feng was a little helpless.
"Yes, after I scolded you a few times, I suddenly felt much better."
"Okay, as long as you are happy, you can scold me as you like."
