He said it calmly, but Zheng Juan was shocked to hear it.
"What? You open this Jishantang?"
"Yes, I drove it."
After receiving a positive answer, she wanted to say something, but when she tilted her head, she realized that there was nothing to say.
Thinking about it, when he went to the south quietly and got back a bag of money, how could this man really live in the south for several years and achieve nothing as the neighbor in the photo film said? This is what she heard so much. She couldn't help but have a suspicion. Of course, this was nothing, because she didn't marry into the Zhou family just to get rich.
"Does that mean we don't charge for eating here?"
Well, he was still thinking about saving money for food at this time, what could he do? He was also helpless.
"No, of course not. Have you ever seen the boss and his wife paying for a meal in their own restaurant?"
"That's good."
As soon as Zheng Juan heard this, she relaxed.
Lin Yue was thinking about a restaurant and that was it. If he told her about his business in the south, she... no, she wouldn't be touched at all. Electronics factories, clothing factories, import and export trading companies, auto parts agents, construction teams, etc. are too far away from her life, and they are far less impactful than the high-end hotels that open right in front of her.
"Bingkun, you opened Jishantang, why didn't you tell dad?"
Zheng Juan thought that telling his family about this would ease the conflict between father and son.
In the TV series, Zhou Bingkun and Editor Shao opened a restaurant together. He could earn as much as the whole family. What was the result? Isn't it because I begged my grandfather to sue my grandma for a career, and it took many twists and turns to get it? Why is it so troublesome? Isn’t it just to make Zhou Zhigang happy?
So why did he talk about this? He was not Zhou Bingkun. He wanted to find a sense of presence in Zhou Zhigang, so that his father would look at him more while being proud that the Zhou family had two college students.
"Why tell him? Tell him and let him talk about it everywhere? He said that the third son of his family may have lost his patience and opened a big hotel in our Jichun City. Yes, this way he will gain face, but once the neighbors know about it, he will Chao, Guo Qing and others also said that other people came to my mother and asked her to plead with me for a job. Can I refuse? If I refuse, I will probably be resented or even turn against myself. If I don't refuse, I will treat those who are used to eating from the big pot. I am recruiting a restaurant, will this business be good? I am not in Jichun, and the restaurant is managed by Uncle Ding's niece. Facing my younger friends, those neighbors who are younger but may be higher than me in terms of seniority, Does she have the nerve to reprimand them and fire them?”
Zheng Juan understood. It was indeed the truth. It was okay for both of these people to be poor or rich. However, it would be difficult to deal with both poor and rich people from the same background.
Lin Yue said: "Just wait a little longer. When everyone's thoughts change, it won't be too late to tell them about this."
"can you?"
"Yes, the fittest will survive, and the social environment will force people to make changes."
Dong Dong Dong~
At this time there was a knock on the door outside.
Lin Yue shouted, and two waiters walked in with beautifully designed large plates. The first dish was ground three delicacies, and the second dish was pot-wrapped pork. The portion was very large, and the aroma of the dishes filled the entire private room. Even the two children who were playing with toys were so greedy that they went to find their mother to feed them. The other ran back to his seat and picked up chopsticks to eat. He also asked why there were flowers in the middle of the dining table. He had never eaten outside before. Without this, Ding Xia, who followed the waiter in, couldn't help but smile.
"If you have anything to say, go out and say it."
In order to let his wife and children have a peaceful meal, Lin Yue called Ding Xia and went outside.
Zheng Juan vaguely heard the two talking about what was happening on the other side. Ding Xia also reported a number, and then there was no sound.
She didn't pay attention and concentrated on feeding the child.
About ten minutes later, Lin Yue came in from the outside, and then the waiter served the third, fourth, fifth and sixth dishes.
Five-spice beef, braised sea cucumber with green onion, braised salmon, and a bowl of deer antler soup.
Anyway, these are dishes that my family would not normally eat.
Seeing that the two children loved to eat, Lin Yue stopped eating after using his chopsticks for a few times. He stood up and walked to the window to look at the four-story building opposite.
Zheng Juan served the child well, and when she was half full after eating, she put down her chopsticks and walked to him: "What's wrong? You've been looking at it for so long."
"What do you think of the building diagonally opposite?"
"It's pretty good, but a bit old."
"I want to buy it."
"ah?"
At this time, he shook his head again: "But it's still early, Northeast... let's wait another two years."
After saying that, he looked back at Yueyue who had started to burp, and Congcong who had oily hands after eating and dirty new clothes just after putting them on: "It's getting late, have you finished eating? Let's go home after eating."
Zheng Juan said: "I don't know if my sister-in-law's parents are gone."
Lin Yue did not respond to the question. He picked up Congcong and walked outside: "Let's go home. Look at the oil you eat and the new clothes you just bought are in such a mess. Go back and wait to be scolded by grandma."
"Mommy mommy……"
The little guy is only a week and a half old. When he sees his mother calling him mother, he sees his father calling him mother too. He has no concept of dirty and clean.
"etc."
Zheng Juan walked to the door and stopped: "This is our hotel, can you take back the unfinished dishes?"
She has always been a woman who lives a good life. As a child picked up by an old lady selling popsicles, she has been afraid of poverty since she was a child and has become accustomed to hardship. Just now two adults and two children ordered six dishes. Her husband didn't eat much, so she just ate. She was half full, and at least half of the dishes were left, just left on the table. She couldn't bear it.
"I'll go downstairs to find Ding Xia and ask the waiter to bring up two lunch boxes."
After saying that, she hugged Congcong and went down. Zheng Juan waited for a while. Ding Xia went upstairs with two aluminum lunch boxes, packed them for her, sent them to the door, put them in the front basket of the bicycle, and watched them off. The family leaves.
…
When it was getting dark, Lin Yue drove Zheng Juan and the two children back to Guangzi Film.
Yueyue ran to the back room as soon as she got off the car and showed off the down jacket she just bought to her grandma.
Zheng Juan walked into the main room holding a net bag with a lunch box for packed dishes in one hand, and a net bag with oranges in the other hand. Then she found that the atmosphere in the back room was a little strange. Zhou Zhigang sat on the chair without saying a word, only smoking with his head down. Hao Dongmei and Zhou Bingyi Standing next to him with his hands hanging, there are various gift boxes on the kang, including a large box, such as cakes, tea, wine...
"Hey, what's going on?" Zheng Juan asked when she saw Li Suhua coming out of the back room.
"not coming."
"Sister-in-law's parents didn't come?"
Zheng Juan understood, no wonder the atmosphere in the back room was so depressing.
A group of people worked hard for a long time, cleaning the house inside and out, and didn't even take a family photo. As a result, the guests stopped coming. No one would feel comfortable having this matter on their shoulders.
"Mom, you haven't eaten yet?"
The pot was cold and there was no ashes in the stove. No need to think about it, I must have not eaten dinner either.
"Bingkun and I packed some food and came back." She put the lunch box on the table and kindly went into the room and called Zhou Zhigang: "Dad, let's have some food first."
She thought that she didn't come if she didn't come. She had to eat rice, and the dishes were all good, including fish and meat. When Ding Xia took the lunch box, she also poured half a plate of freshly cooked fried river shrimp into it, New Year's Eve dinner. None of them were so rich, but what she couldn't understand was that her good intentions only resulted in rage.
Zhou Zhigang threw away the cigarette butt and said coldly, "Bring back the leftovers for us to eat. Who do you think we are?"
"This...Dad..."
Only then did Zheng Juan realize that things were worse than she thought.
"Don't call me dad."
"Okay, then I won't shout anymore. It's a one-time buyout. Tell me, how much pension money do you want?" Lin Yue walked in from the outside with Congcong in his arms. When he got off the bicycle just now, the child saw fireworks being set off. Yes, he held his hand and didn't leave. He watched the child outside for a while, but he didn't expect that Zheng Juan's good intentions would lead to such a result.
"What did you say? Tell me something more?" Zhou Zhigang suddenly stood up: "Why did I give birth to such an unfilial son like you?"
Lin Yue glanced at the gifts placed on the bed, and his eyes fell on the two boxes of tea cans wrapped with newspapers in the middle.
Well, it was exactly the same as in the TV series, the tea was sent back and returned.
This was a slap in the face. Even though Zhou Zhigang knew that Hao Dongmei's parents were not responsible for the incident, he still felt uncomfortable. They had worked at home all day. Not only was their work in vain, but they also made a big joke. He and Zheng Juan played outside for a day. , the family changed into new clothes and had a delicious meal. Now Zheng Juan asked him to eat the leftovers he had packed back. He believed that the head of the Zhou family, who was a woman with a sweet talk but a sword but a kind face and a dark heart, could make things better. think? Most likely he felt that Zheng Juan was humiliating him, so why not light up the firecrackers?
"Why do I have such an unreasonable father like you!"
