Shi Nan's second aunt Wang Xiuzhen and her family of three arrived first. Wang Xiuying warmly invited the three of them to sit down. The three of them also greeted everyone in the Shi family in an easy-going manner.
After a while, Shinan's uncle Wang Xiuyuan and his family also walked in.
After Wang Xiuyuan entered the door, he just said hello to Shi Nan's mother, then took his wife and child and passed Shi Jianjun, went straight to the empty table and sat down on his own. Heather has been observing her uncle from a distance, and it is obvious that this uncle has a hint of disgust in his brows.
Shi Jianjun was a little embarrassed. His second uncle quickly took out his cigarettes and handed one to Shi Jianjun: "Jianjun, come and have a cigarette."
At this time, the aunt and uncle opened the door and walked in.
As soon as they opened the door, they were shocked by the size of the private room in front of them. They exchanged a look and suppressed their surprise.
"Brother and sister-in-law, you are here." Wang Xiuying saw the two of them entering the private room and greeted them with a smile.
Shi Jianjun also said hello warmly: "Brother and sister-in-law, please take a seat."
Uncle Chen Huanbao nodded calmly, then glanced at the Maotai on the dinner table, then looked at Shi Jianjun, and said with a bit of seriousness: "Jianjun, it's really gratifying that Nan Nan did well in the exam, but what are you talking about?" Have you ever liked to deal with these formalisms? Are you going to cover Nannan’s tuition for the next six months with this meal? "
Shi Jianjun was a little embarrassed and blurted out that it was Shi Nan who earned the money. Unexpectedly, he was overtaken by Shi Nan: "Uncle, my dad said that today is not mainly to celebrate my score, but to take this opportunity to get together as a family." It’s been a few years since we got together and had dinner together. The last time we had dinner was when Sister Chen Duo was in college.”
Shi Jianjun glanced at Shi Nan, then nodded as if he suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Yes, brother, we are just having a meal together as a family. As for the children, they have their own way to go, we adults can care Not that much.”
"Well, what school did Nan Nan apply for?" said the aunt, walking to the dining table, picking up an open bottle of Moutai and sniffing it to her nose.
The sauce aroma of the national wine is so unique! It costs several hundred yuan a bottle, and even he can only drink it two or three times a year.
Wang Xiuying said at this time: "Nan Nan applied to the Military Defense Technology University."
"Military Defense University of Science and Technology?" The aunt frowned and put the wine back on the table: "I also saw the news. What is the score? If you go to Military Defense University of Science and Technology, is it a bit of a cliffhanger?"
Shi Jianjun chuckled: "The child decides for himself."
At this time, the aunt asked: "Which school did you apply for as your second choice?"
Shinan continued: "I didn't apply for my second choice."
"Didn't apply?" The aunt looked stunned, and after a moment she said with a rich expression: "Oh, if I don't get admitted to the Military Defense University of Science and Technology, can I repeat it for another year?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Xiuyuan immediately answered and said with a hint of sourness: "Sichuan champion, no one wants this, it will be a big loss."
As soon as these words came out, everyone from the Shi family looked over. However, the people from the Shi family had already seen the admission notice of Shinan when they were at Xianhu Tianyuan, and they were just a little angry at Wang Xiuyuan's words.
Shinan wasn't angry either, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I got the admission notice yesterday. Oh, by the way, it's from the cultivation department."
Most people now know the news about the Ling Class, but many people still don't know what it is specifically. They all think that it is just an additional branch as before.
The aunt was suspicious of what kind of spiritual roots Heather had. They were university teachers after all, so some information about the spiritual class was clear. My daughter Chen Duo also awakened her spiritual root qualifications after arriving at Shuchuan University two years ago. Chen Duo's spiritual roots are very ordinary. The spiritual roots are a mixture of three attributes and have no special attributes.
As soon as Wang Xiulan and Chen Huanbao sat down, Wang Xiuyuan took the initiative to sit next to Chen Huanbao.
Although they were separated into two tables, in order to facilitate drinking, Shi Jianjun and Shi Jianhua took the initiative to sit at the same table with them with wine glasses. Today's principal, Shi Nan, was also called over by Shi Jianjun, and he happened to be sitting opposite Chen Huanbao and the others.
Wang Xiuyuan covered his mouth and asked in Chen Huanbao's ear: "Brother, don't you get a lot of money for today's meal?"
Chen Huanbao smacked his lips and whispered: "Just looking at the two bottles of Feitian Maotai on the table, plus these cold dishes, Shi Jianjun is risking his life. Although the hot dishes haven't been served yet, looking at this situation, a table will cost at least three thousand yuan." Bar."
"Good boy!" Wang Xiuyuan was extremely surprised: "You said he is always a picky person. What happened today? He is so willing to spend money?"
Chen Huanbao said: "I don't know, have you made a fortune?"
"Just him?" Wang Xiuyuan curled his lips and said, "Don't you know what their run-down factory is like? I guess he and my third sister can only earn about two thousand a month now."
Chen Huanbao nodded and asked, "How is your supermarket business going lately?"
"It's not bad." Wang Xiuyuan said with some melancholy: "This year is not very good. There are too many supermarkets, competing for customers and lowering prices. This year is halfway through, and after all, I have made ten thousand yuan."
As he said that, several waiters served six hot dishes in succession. Chen Huanbao took one look at it and sighed to Wang Xiuyuan: "Shi Jianjun's meal is almost as much as your net profit for the past six months."
Wang Xiuyuan laughed twice: "I guess Shi Jianjun felt that he couldn't hold his head high in front of our family. This time, he took advantage of his son's high score in the exam and risked his life to earn some face."
At this time, under Shi Nan's urging, Shi Jianjun stood up nervously, held a glass of wine, and said his opening remarks with a slight stutter, and then everyone clinked glasses together and started using chopsticks.
Wang Xiulan took a few bites of food and said to Shi Jianjun with ulterior motives: "Jianjun, I heard that there are people laid off in your factory this year, right?"
Shinan knew that every time her aunt and uncle met, they would talk about Shi Jianjun's work. As long as the topic started, nothing good would happen.
Shi Jianjun nodded at this time: "Yes, and it has been announced."
"Aren't you and Xiuying here?"
Shi Jianjun took a sip of wine and said, "Without us."
"That's good." Wang Xiulan chuckled: "As a big family, we worry about your family all day long. You said that the efficiency of your factory is getting worse and worse. If you say you are laid off, you will be laid off, and if you say it is closed down, it will be closed down. Nannan is going to college this year. Tuition, fees, and living expenses are a big expense. What will you do then? Even if you borrow money, you can only borrow it once or twice. Who will borrow it more often? Money for you?"
Shi Jianjun's expression was a little embarrassed, but he still nodded repeatedly, looking like he was being taught. Wang Xiulan was the boss of the Wang family, and she used such a preaching tone with everyone.
Shinan couldn't stand it. In his eyes, what his aunt said was hypocritical and unpleasant, as if he was afraid that his parents would ask him to borrow money in the future.
So, at this time, Shinan said with an understatement: "Auntie is right, my parents have been plotting these days. They want to take the initiative to resign and start a small business."
Shi Jianjun looked at Shi Nan with a surprised look on his face. At this time, Shi Nan gently patted his leg under the table. Before Shi Jianjun could speak, Shi Nan said again: "I also think it's good to do some business now, it's much better than going to work."
This time, not only the people at this table, but even the people at the table of grandparents and grandparents of Heather Nan were a little surprised. In the opinion of everyone sitting here, even if people all over the country went to the sea, Shi Jianjun would not go to the sea. Shi Jianjun is the kind of cautious person. If he leaves his iron job, he may not even be able to sleep well!
Wang Xiuyuan said with a smile at this time: "Hey, the third brother-in-law also wants to do some business? It's really rare! I wonder what kind of business you want to discuss with my third sister?"
Shinan rushed to answer again: "My parents want to do some retail business."
Wang Xiuyuan's face turned cold instantly, and his tone was a little unfriendly: "Retail business is not something anyone can do if they want to do it! I have made some money working in the supermarket in the past few years, but you can't just watch me make money and ignore me. It’s a lot of risk and hard work. The monthly rent for my store is more than 1,000 yuan, including water, electricity, industrial, commercial and sanitation fees, it’s more than 2,000 yuan a month, and the store has to carry goods worth tens of thousands of dollars all year round. I think It’s hard to make money.”
Wang Xiuyuan's fierce reaction made everyone a little stunned, but Shinan quickly reacted. Wang Xiuyuan had made some money by opening a supermarket in the past two years. At this time, he said that his parents wanted to start a clothing retail business. He probably thought that his parents wanted to follow his path and would compete with him, so he went a little too far.
Shinan smiled helplessly in his heart. He remembered Wang Xiuyuan's supermarket. It was opened in a relatively remote location in Miancheng. There wasn't much traffic in the first place, so he probably couldn't invest a total of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. In his mind, he couldn't continue working in that store after a few years. How could he let his parents take this route?
So, Shinan said with a smile: "Brother, don't be nervous. My parents are not planning to engage in the retail business of ordinary daily necessities, and they will not compete with you."
Wang Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that his behavior just now was a bit extreme, and quickly covered it up: "I'm not afraid that your family will compete with me. The main reason is that supermarkets are really not that easy to do. Don't think too much about it. If you really want to When I open a supermarket, I can introduce you to my purchasing channels."
Shinan smiled slightly: "No need, uncle, my parents are still in the process of opening a store, and we will have to wait for more than a month at the earliest before we can make a decision."
Shinan's parents looked at each other. They had never thought about starting a business, let alone opening a small supermarket. At this time, Shinan was talking nonsense in front of all his relatives, and both of them wanted to explain. However, they all knew that their children would never talk nonsense, so they had no choice but to suppress their doubts first.
Wang Xiuying was sitting next to Nan Nan's grandparents taking care of her. At this time, Grandpa Shi Nan asked Wang Xiuying: "Xiuying, Nan Nan is going to college this year. Are you going to open a store and make a lot of money, right? If you need help from me and your mother, Just let us know, and we, the old couple, can be of some help."
Cao Ping also echoed from the side: "Sister-in-law, if you and my brother need help, you can call me at any time. Shi Zhe has grown up and is usually at school, so I can also come and help."
Wang Xiuzhen also said: "Yes, Xiuying, if you need money, just tell the second sister, and the second sister will help you find a way."
Although Wang Xiulan was sitting at Heather's table, she was just leaning against Wang Xiuzhen and could hear the conversation clearly. At this time, she quickly expressed her position: "Our family is not doing well this year, but if you really do business, our family will find a way. You can still turn over thousands of dollars. The main reason is that girl Chen Duo, who needs money to study in various places in Chengdu. Maybe you don't know, but these cultivators spend a lot of money to study. Moreover, this girl spends all day messing around. Spend money without knowing any frugality.”
Shi Nan was amused. Wang Xiulan's words seemed like she wanted to help, but in fact they basically blocked the possibility. Under normal circumstances, no one would ask to borrow money for this reason. Even if they borrowed money, it would only be a few thousand yuan at most.
Wang Xiulan's sudden move was also interesting to Shinan.
However, at this moment, a round-faced girl in her early twenties pushed open the door and shouted: "Who said I spent money randomly all day long!"
