Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 644

"Hoo~!"

"It's still comfortable to eat at home!"

Chen Li tried his best to swallow the five dumplings No.30. He really enjoyed this meal very comfortably.

It's strange to say~ When I was in an island country, even if the seasoning was also Chinese, the Chinese chefs could make Chinese dishes~ I always felt that the taste was less.

Not to mention that the dumplings are even from the parent's brand, so the taste has naturally risen to a new level.

Hmm~ Well, the main reason is that Chen’s dumplings are different from those outside.

Chen’s dumplings never use scallions, but shallots are used. In addition, the dumpling fillings have to be chopped by themselves~ they also add appropriate amount of bean paste and minced ginger and garlic according to the taste of the family.

The key is not what is added, but the right amount!

Many people think that the food at home is the most delicious. This is the reason, because the family members are always the ones who understand your taste best.

"Hmph~ You have already gone to the island country, isn't there delicious food there?"

Usually at home~ There is only one person who can talk to Chen Li in this tone, and that is Chen Li's dearest sister, Chen Xue!

This kind of tone with guns and sticks and obviously with a hint of sourness is the habit of getting along between the two brothers and sisters.

In fact, Chen Xue seldom treats her brother like this on weekdays, but this trip to the island country. She Chen Xue failed to follow, and she feels somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

It was fine for her to be in her hometown before, but now she is in Yanjing, so subconsciously she still wants to be her brother's little tail like before.

But what is very helpless is that her brother is no longer the brother who led her to go fishing to catch eels, and she is not the little girl who always likes to blackmail her brother by crying.

"There's something so delicious over there, I can't get used to it at all, okay?"

"I still like the dumplings made by my parents~ hiccup!"

"Go~ make me a bowl of soup!"

Chen Li was naturally used to his sister's tone, so instead of appeasing her, he even handed Chen Xue his own bowl.

"Hmph~ why don't you go by yourself?"

Chen Li's behavior naturally made Chen Xue very dissatisfied, but even though she was muttering, she subconsciously took Chen Li's bowl and went to the kitchen.

Feelings are something that is actually mutual, whether it is love or family affection.

If it was the old Chen Xue, if Chen Li asked her to ladle the soup at this time, Chen Xue would definitely not talk to him.

But now the relationship between the two siblings is much better than before, so Chen Xue is dissatisfied~ but she still went to the kitchen.

Facing this scene~ Chen Li's parents~girlfriend and cousin beside him laughed.

As the saying goes, one thing lowers one thing, Chen Xue has actually reached the stage of rebellion at this age.

On weekdays, no matter what Chen's father and Wang mother taught their daughter to do, Chen Xue would always come up with a lot of reasons to refute.

But for the same thing, if Chen Xue said it from Chen Li's mouth, although Chen Xue would also complain~and maybe even refute it, but in the end, she would often accept Chen Li's opinion honestly.

The reason is actually not complicated. Apart from the current relationship between the two brothers and sisters, Chen Xue still admires her brother very much.

In fact, at the beginning ~ Chen Xue didn't have such emotions, at most she thought her brother was not bad.

After all, it is my own family~ When looking at my own family, it is also with a filter.

But with Chen Li's rapid "rise", although Chen Xue didn't think much of it, but from the outside world~ that was another look.

When I was in my hometown~ Chen Xue often heard people boasting about her brother, so much that it made her ears callused.

If the relationship between the two siblings is not good, or generally speaking, then such a situation might cause the little girl to have a rebellious mentality.

After all, everyone is exaggerating, and who cares about her "insignificant" Chen Xue?
But~ fortunately, the two brothers and sisters, Chen Li and Chen Xue, have a very good relationship now, so when outsiders praised her elder brother, although Chen Xue didn't have much expression on her face, she was still faintly proud of her elder brother in her heart.

And once this feeling of pride for her elder brother arose a lot, Chen Xue unconsciously and subconsciously began to admire her elder brother.

Especially after she entered the University of Foreign Languages, she often heard rumors about her elder brother from those teachers.

What a genius among the heavens~ what a rare language genius in decades.

And because of her brother's relationship~ she also received a lot of attention in school.

And all these~ are gradually classified as Chen Xue's admiration for her elder brother!
It's just that the little girl has a thin skin, so when she gets along with her elder brother, although she likes to sing a different tune, but every time Chen Li says, this girl is the one who can listen to her the most.

"Give!"

After a while, the little girl who was obviously emotional came out of the kitchen and handed the big bowl in her hand to Chen Li.

The big bowl was full of dumpling soup, and what was more conspicuous was that there was a handful of shallots floating on top of the soup, which was obviously made by Chen Xue knowing her brother's habit and specially made it for him.

"Hmm~"

"Comfortable!"

Chen Li took a big mouthful of the dumpling soup, and his whole body felt sublimated to another level.

It's strange to say that Chen Li felt that he was full before, but if he could eat this dumpling soup, he instantly felt that he could eat a few more dumplings.

Well~ this is the legendary original soup.

Of course, Chen Li was not reincarnated from starvation, nor did he intend to starve himself to death, so he had no intention of continuing to eat dumplings.

"By the way~ Have you booked your flight ticket?"

Chen Li turned his head and looked at his girlfriend.

This year's Spring Festival is relatively early, and there is less than half a month left. Chen Li's parents plan to go back to make preparations.

In fact, according to the custom of my hometown, if a new house is built or purchased, then this year’s Spring Festival reunion dinner must be eaten in the new house.

It is said that it is to gather popularity for the new house or something. Anyway, the older generation has such a saying.

So in the beginning, Chen Li's parents actually planned to celebrate the New Year here in Yanjing.

After all, both Chen Li himself and Chen Xue have new houses here, so although staying here is not as comfortable as in his hometown, Chen Li's parents still have this plan.

But~ when Chen Li's parents mentioned this topic to their son, Chen Li scratched his head, and then with a complicated expression, he dug out a large pile of house books from the bedroom!

Chen Li has forgotten exactly when it started. Anyway, when he started to have money on hand, he started his own behavior of buying houses.

All the house books here belong to him personally, which is different from the shops purchased by Ideal Fried Chicken.

There are actually more properties on the side of Ideal Fried Chicken, but that belongs to Ideal Fried Chicken.

And the more than 30 suites that Chen Li had in hand belonged entirely to him.

However, these houses are currently leased by Chen Li to Ideal Fried Chicken as staff dormitories.

Hmm~ Well, in fact, the purpose of Chen Li buying these houses is to serve as dormitories for employees.

Anyway, it’s cheap~ Instead of spending money to rent a house for employees, it’s better to buy a house and use it as a dormitory for employees!

And since the company was formalized, Chen Li could even receive rent from Ideal Fried Chicken.

It's just that Chen Li definitely can't be a charterer, because the rent is paid directly from Ideal Fried Chicken on a quarterly basis.

In addition to these more than 30 sets of commercial houses, Chen Li also has a few sets of property certificates for courtyard houses, which add up to all kinds of miscellaneous things. If you really want to follow the rules of your hometown, it will definitely be impossible for the Chen family to return to their hometown for the New Year.

So ~ Chen Li's parents decisively decided to go back to their hometown for the New Year!

"It's ready~ I've already given it to Auntie!"

"Don't worry~ You don't have to worry about this!"

Liu Qingqing nodded while eating the dumplings with difficulty.

The reason why it is difficult to eat is not that the dumplings are not delicious, but in fact, she is very used to the taste of the Chen family.

It's just that there are too many!

Naturally, the dumplings made at home cannot be as small as those made outside.

As for the dumplings made tonight, if she ate them on weekdays, she would probably eat a dozen or so.

But when the dumplings were cooked before, Aunt Wang scooped at least twenty of them for her with a colander.

This... made her a little embarrassed.

In fact, to be honest~ Liu Qingqing and Chen Li's parents get along very well today, but they are not a real family after all, so Liu Qingqing's "kindness" to her future mother-in-law is really hard to refuse.

Liu Qingqing's appetite is actually not small, but she can't stand the size of the dumplings!
I don't know how my boyfriend stuffed those 35 dumplings. Huh?Boy friend!
Thinking of this, Liu Qingqing turned her head and winked at her boyfriend.

It just so happened~ Chen Li hadn't looked back from his girlfriend before, and just happened to see the distress signal sent by his girlfriend to him.

Seeing Liu Qingqing's eyes shift back and forth between himself and the big bowl in front of him, Chen Li instantly understood what his girlfriend was thinking.

Uh~ okay!

In fact, he was somewhat responsible for this matter.

This responsibility lies not with others, but with the bowl that the family eats.

In ordinary families, when eating noodles and dumplings, at most they use ordinary large bowls, but Chen’s family is different. When Chen Li went to buy kitchen utensils before, because of his experience of eating beef noodles in the Northwest in his previous life, when buying noodle bowls, he deliberately I chose the same bowl as the large bowl of beef noodles.

Uh~ That's right, it's the extra-large blue and white porcelain bowl!

When I bought this bowl, Liu Qingqing thought it was for soup, but when Chen Li said it was for eating noodles, I was speechless.

Later, after buying this bowl, Chen Li was lectured by his parents again, but he bought everything. It was only for use.

After all, in the concept of their generation, there is no such thing as a waste!
So~Originally, the ordinary bowl could only hold more than ten homemade dumplings, but after changing to this kind of large bowl, let alone more than 20 Chen Li's bowl even directly filled 35 dumplings.

And the same ~ Liu Qingqing has more than 20 dumplings in this bowl. There are also some of his pots.

Uh~ Well, even if there is no such reason, as a boyfriend at this time, he naturally wants to help his girlfriend solve the problem.

In fact, to be honest, Liu Qingqing could completely reject Ms. Wang's "many" kindness from the very beginning, but although her girlfriend has become very close to her future mother-in-law now, she is still not able to "reject" her future mother-in-law.

There's no way~ mainly because we haven't spent enough time together, and...the identity hasn't really changed yet.

Once Liu Qingqing becomes Chen Li's wife~ Let's not talk about whether the relationship between the two can still be so close, at least Liu Qingqing is already qualified to reject her mother-in-law's "good intentions".

Of course ~ these are Liu Qingqing's own thoughts, but in Chen Li's view, it's not that complicated.

I really can't eat so much, just refuse it directly, can Ms. Wang still be angry because of this girl who gave birth to Liu?

But this was Chen Li's idea, not Liu Qingqing's.so.
"Oh~ I drank some soup and slipped a little bit!"

"I feel like I can eat a few more!"

"Aren't you full? Then I'll get you some. Anyway, there are a lot of bags today!"

As soon as Chen Li started talking, Ms. Wang immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks and planned to go to the kitchen to make dumplings.

As a mother, it is impossible for Ms. Wang to let her son go hungry. Even if Chen Li just ate 35 dumplings, as long as Chen Li says he wants to eat them, he can continue to cook them!

"No, no, no~!"

Chen Li was taken aback by his mother's actions. He knew very well that if he let his mother into the kitchen, he would have to put at least twenty dumplings in the pot.

When Chen Li can't finish eating, Ms. Wang will start apportionment mode, and no one in this room will be able to escape.

"Qingqing~ pick some for me!"

Chen Li hurriedly moved his bowl to Liu Qingqing's side, while Liu Qingqing lowered her head and hurriedly poured dumplings into Chen Li's bowl.

"Crack~!"

"You kid, just cook it when you're not full, why grab Qingqing's dumplings!"

"Qingqing~ Leave him alone, let him cook by himself!"

When Ms. Wang saw her son snatching the dumplings from his future daughter-in-law, she slapped her and yelled at her. Originally, she was going to the kitchen to cook the dumplings, but now she asked Chen Li to do it by herself.

Chen Li was slapped by his mother, but the expression on his face didn't change at all. After all, my mother's slap wasn't really a slap, he just had to accept it!
As for asking him to cook the dumplings, he just pretended not to hear it. When Liu Qingqing cleared all the dumplings in his bowl until there was only one dumpling left, Chen Li took the bowl back and picked up the dumplings with chopsticks.

After the dumplings in the bowl were finished, Chen Li leaned on the back of the chair and said.
"I'm full~burp~!"

At this moment~ Ms. Wang has returned to the dining table, seeing her son's virtue, she just rolled her eyes.

On the other hand, Chen Guofu continued to drink the wine comfortably.

On the other hand, Zhou Ling and Chen Xue looked at Chen Li with a pitiful expression.

"Cough cough~!"

Perhaps because his cousin and younger sister looked at him a little uncomfortable, Chen Li coughed lightly.

"Then what~ After the new year, I plan to take everyone out for a trip."

"Well, I've been busy going to the island country this time, so I didn't have time to play!"

"After the new year, let's go to the island country and have fun!"

"Really~ eh~ brother is the best!"
