Chen Xing's cousin's surname is Xu, Xu Xiaofei. When she smiles, she looks a lot like Teresa Teng. She is cute.
When Chen Xing saw her in the first half of the year, she still had long hair. Now it has been cut short, but it makes her look younger.
She cooked a home-cooked meal, two of which were Chen Xing's favorite. Boiled meat slices and roasted chicken with taro.
The chicken is stewed almost to the point of falling off the bone, the kind that separates the meat from the bones as soon as you take a sip. Xu Xiaofei watched Chen Xing eat it and asked curiously: "How is it? Isn't my sister's cooking good?"
"It's delicious!" Of course Chen Xing would not use professional taste buds to evaluate the food made by his family. Looking at the little apple who was also eating very happily, Chen Xing thought about the last time he ate the food cooked by his sister. The time has come?
Both his parents and his sister's parents were busy, so Chen Xing went to his sister's house for dinner. Then my sister, who is not very skilled in cooking, learned from the recipe and made a twice-cooked pork with green onions... a version of twice-cooked pork with less meat and more green onions.
Chen Xing has forgotten the specific taste. But it has become a hometown flavor that Chen Xing will always miss.
Xu Xiaofei served Chen Xing some food and said, "Eat more if you like it. You've lost so much weight that your face has changed. Hey, it's really a man's 18th transformation. Who would have thought that the brat before could be so good-looking now?" What? Come on, try the chicken legs." Tao Qian asked: "Your mother said you can make money as a photographer by engaging in self-media?" Chen Xing nodded while eating and said, "It's okay, someone asked me to take pictures. If you pay more than 2,000 yuan, this kind of appointment usually only takes half a day."
"Earn two thousand a day?" Xu Xiaofei suddenly exclaimed, this was less than half a month's salary. Even if Chen Xing doesn't have such a job every day, on average he can earn one thousand yuan a day, which is an income of thirty thousand yuan a month. So much?
Mainly because how old is Chen Xing now? I haven’t even gone to college yet. She said: "Do photographers make so much money?"
"Maybe it's because I'm more talented." How much money does a photographer make? The average photographer doesn't earn as much as a photographer.
Chen Xing was able to find shooting appointments at such a price, and all of them relied on his fans on site B to support himself. If we look at the traditional promotion route for photographers, if Chen Xing's current photo shoot price exceeds 800, he is considered very talented.
The auction price ranges from 300 to 500, which is a level, and the price from 500 to 1,000 is also a level.
"Well, don't spend the money you earn. Pay more to your mother. There will be many places to use your money in the future." Hearing this, Tao Qian said seriously: "Xiao Xing doesn't make so much money every day. He You have a lot of money to travel alone, so don't tell your third aunt everything." The third aunt he was talking about was Chen Xing's mother.
Xu Xiaofei thought that this was also true. Chen Xing looked much thinner now than before, so he must have been working hard.
So he nodded and said: "I know, but Xiaoxing, you should be more careful outside. There are many bad people. There is a 16-year-old child in my colleague's hometown. He was snatched into the car and taken away. It was scary to death."
"16 years old? Will you be targeted at such an old age?"
"I said the same thing, but there are a lot of news about missing children of this age group, so you have to be careful anyway." Chen Xing nodded solemnly.
After dinner, Chen Xing played games with his niece, slept in the guest room for one night, and took the car back the next day.
Tao Qian and Xu Xiaofei saw Chen Xing to the airport.
"I'm going back first. Will you be back during the Chinese New Year?" My sister nodded and said, "I think so. Go home and have a good rest and find a girlfriend. If you don't have one, I will introduce you to one." Yesterday she took a photo with Chen Xing In the circle of friends, a group of little sisters with or without men are going crazy, promising to find ways to get Chen Xing's WeChat messages, but this is his younger brother, and the relationship is so good that he is no different from his biological brother.
Can you introduce me casually?
"No need." Chen Xing said. He used to be quite anxious about whether he could find a new girlfriend, but as he acquired the travel system and learned more and more skills, he was no longer anxious now.
Take the car home. An hour later, Chen Xing arrived again in this small city that he was very familiar with. I haven't been back for a few months, but there have been no changes in the New Territories. At most, some small street shops have changed their signboards, or the interiors of the shops have been slightly modified.
After walking from the station for about twenty minutes, when he arrived at a T-intersection, Chen Xing opened a glass door.
This store has no signboard, and the glass door is made of frosted glass so that you can't see the inside or outside clearly. There are many shops like this in the town, and most of them have the same decoration. Some of them are not even decorated yet. Just put a few automatic mahjong machines and they can be used. To be more elegant, they can be called tea card rooms, or to be more informal, they can be called mahjong parlors.
Well, this is the mahjong parlor run by Chen Xing's family. Most of the customers are acquaintances. The Chen family has taken root in the New Territories for more than a hundred years. My mother’s mother’s family is also from the New Territories. The advantage of such a family is that there are many local friends. People from all walks of life in the town know people. The business of opening a mahjong parlor is very good. The disadvantage is that Without any land, no matter how the city develops, Chen Xing cannot be the second generation demolisher.
Seeing the door being opened, people at two or three tables nearby looked over.
"Chen Xing? Oh, the young man is getting more and more handsome."
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Chen Xing. Are you working outside?" If you are unfamiliar with someone, ask others.
The main thing I want to ask is whether Chen Xing is in a relationship. There are many aunts who play mahjong, and there are many girls among relatives and friends who are not friends. Chen Xing's conditions are acceptable. She has a house and a shop at home, and she is very handsome. When she goes out, she looks more fashionable than a celebrity. It looks good.
This is a high-quality stock. When my mother heard the commotion, she quickly poked her head out from the bar. After noticing Chen Xing, she smiled and said, "Didn't you stay at your sister's place for two more days?" Chen Xing shook his head and said, "I miss you, don't I?" Give me the key." He went out without the key, and he came here specifically to get the key this time.
Chen's mother gave her own if to Chen Xing in the bag and said, "We'll be back in a moment. Don't go out with the if, otherwise I won't be able to get home." Chen Xing made an OK gesture and quickly left.
He really couldn't stand the aunts in the store asking questions. They had all kinds of awkward conversations. They asked about their grades when they were studying. After asking, they talked about how good their son or daughter was, or who he knew had passed the exam. What university.
If you don't leave, you should ask yourself about your relationship and work. When he got home, Chen Xing quickly threw away his things and lay down on the sofa.
No matter where you rent a room to rest, you will definitely not be as comfortable as at home. This kind of comfort has nothing to do with physical enjoyment. It is purely a psychological feeling, as if all the burdens in life have been relieved, and there is a sense of lightness. Feel.
