Jianbao life

Chapter 22
"Brother Zhang, why do you want it?" Thinking of Zhang Guosheng's usually plucking character, Chu Chen couldn't help but want to tease him.

"Of course, it's rare to have such a fine jadeite, and it just fits the stall in my store. I'll pay [-], so you can transfer it to me." Zhang Guosheng begged.

When it came to the price, Chu Chen stopped teasing him. He thought about it for a while, and felt that the price was reasonable. If it was a carved work, the price should be around [-] to [-]. Don't look at the difference of [-]. Five seems to be quite a lot, but after counting labor, shop rent and other miscellaneous expenses, the earning is not as much as imagined.

Although Zhang Guosheng is usually stingy and likes to pluck geese, he is not stingy when it comes to the purchase price. In his own words, our good steel must be used on the blade, just like Chu Chen from him before. The emerald bet was also bought by him.

Zhang Guosheng blinked and stared at Chu Chen. Seeing him nod, he immediately dragged him to the front desk to sign the transfer contract with joy, and then hurried to the bank to transfer the money. Fortunately, they came in time, and the bank will be later. It's closed.

After the transaction was completed, Chu Chen said to Li Guodong: "Brother Li, are you okay tonight? Let's have a meal together, I'll treat you."

Li Guodong said hesitantly: "Well, let me make a call first."

After finishing speaking, he took out his mobile phone, stood in a corner and made a call. His unusually gentle appearance gave Chu Chen goosebumps all over his body.

After about 15 minutes, Li Guodong put away the phone, walked in front of Chu Chen contentedly, and said to him, "Okay, let's go, you, a local rich man, will definitely be poor tonight."

Chu Chen said to him a little speechlessly: "I said you don't have to do this when you make a phone call, please be considerate of other people's feelings, okay, and you have not invited her over after calling for so long, Are we still buddies?"

Hearing what he said, Li Guodong was also a little embarrassed: "Well, it's not that my guy is a little shy, he will definitely call over after a while."

Chu Chen glared at him and said: "I don't think you are sincere at all. Besides, from the way you call, you will be a strict wife in the future. When you can be the master of the house, invite her out to get together with everyone. I don't know when it will be."

Of course Li Guodong didn't accept Chu Chen's argument, so he argued with him, and then the two walked to the private restaurant they had agreed upon, talking and laughing.

***********************************************
Under the leadership of the waiter, Chu Chen and the two came to the private room he had reserved in advance. At this time, Zhou Wenping and the others had already arrived, drinking tea and chatting in the room.

"Sorry for keeping everyone waiting for so long." After Chu Chen came in, he first apologized to everyone.

Zhou Wenping said with a smile: "It's okay, isn't it that the donors are always the last ones to come, but since you are late, you will be punished with three drinks later."

"Yes, you will be punished!" Lao Wu booed from the side
Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, "No problem, we won't go home tonight if we don't get drunk."

"No, Mom said Dad would go crazy when he was drunk!" A little girl on the side shouted.

Li Guodong laughed and said: "Haha, fifth child, it seems that even your daughter knows about your wines."

The little girl just now is the daughter of Lao Wu, named Xiao Yi, who is just four years old this year.

The fifth child said embarrassingly: "The little girl is talking nonsense."

"I didn't!" Xiaoyi said angrily with her mouth pouted, her appearance was so cute.

"Okay, okay, Xiaoyi, don't be angry with your father, what do you think this is?" After speaking, Chu Chen smiled and took out three plush toys.

"Ah! What a cute little bear (little pig)!" The three children present ran towards him because they were familiar with Chu Chen.

In addition to Xiaoyi, the fifth daughter, the other two children are Zhou Wenping's son and daughter.

"Hey, Wen Cong takes the little pig, Xiaoyi and Wenhui take the little bear."

After Zhou Wencong took the little pig, he said aggrievedly, "Uncle Xiaochen, why did I take the little pig?"

Chu Chen touched Zhou Wencong's head with a smile and said: "Xiao Cong, you are too thin. Look at your small arms and legs. A man should be stronger, so my uncle gave you a piglet to make you look like a pig." Eat a little more like a little pig, so that you can become stronger."

Of course, the real situation is not what Chu Chen said. It was because when he was buying toys, he thought it was too girly for a boy to hold a little bear, and a little pig would be more appropriate.

Children are easy to deceive, Zhou Wencong looked at his arms and legs, looking thoughtful, then he seemed to understand, and said happily: "So that's the case, then I will definitely ask the little one from now on. Pigs look up."

Hearing this, everyone present laughed secretly, Zhou Wenping pretended to be annoyed and said, "Well, my son will really turn into a pig by then, and I will settle the score with you."

"Then you will let him lose weight."

Chu Chen joked with Zhou Wenping with a smile, then took out a gift box and handed it to Zhou Wenping's wife:
"Sister-in-law Zhou, I bought some wild ginseng for you, and I usually add more."

Mrs. Zhou had a serious illness after giving birth to two children. After recovering from the illness, she got a problem with low immunity. It was very serious. Because of low immunity, she would have such and other problems at every turn. No matter which one she went out before In all seasons, wear a mask.Zhou Wenping took her to many hospitals, but they couldn't cure her.

Later, I found a hospital in Beijing, and finally got a treatment plan. After several years of treatment, she has improved a lot, and she rarely gets sick, and she must wear a mask when she doesn’t have to go out, but the doctor advised her to take it regularly Some immunity-boosting tonics.

Not only the medical expenses, but also the usual tonic expenses, as well as the expenses necessary for the daily life of the family, all of these are on Zhou Wenping alone, which shows the great pressure on him.So Chu Chen usually sends some tonics from time to time, buys some toys for the two children, which can be regarded as doing his best to help his friends

Afterwards, Chu Chen took out a small gift box and handed it to Lao Wu's wife, jokingly said: "Sister-in-law, you have a share too, otherwise Lao Wu will say that I favor one another after passing."

The two wives declined several times, but in the end they couldn't do it anymore. After accepting it with some embarrassment, they said, "How embarrassing!"

"Don't be shy, he just won [-] in betting on stones, and now he is a small fortune."

While drinking tea, Li Guodong told everyone about the situation of betting on stones just now, and everyone marveled at Chu Chen's good luck.

"Okay, Xiaochen, you are a lucky star. You just made 50 by picking up the leak yesterday, and today you won another [-] by betting on stones. Now you are not rich, but a local tyrant." Old Wu looked envious. Said.

"Ah, Xiaochen, you missed 50 yuan before and didn't tell me. Are you afraid that I will make you poor today!" Li Guodong said with an exaggerated expression.

"Luck, it's all luck!" Chu Chen waved his hand, and then told everyone about the process of picking up the leaks.

"Xiaochen, your luck is one aspect. The most important thing is that you are good at using your brain. If it is really impossible for me to notice the details." Zhou Wenping said clearly.

After hearing what Zhou Wenping said, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Let me tell you, everyone, we are here to eat, not to chat, so hurry up and order." Afterwards, seeing that no one mentioned ordering, Chu Chen reminded everyone.

Everyone reacted to this reminder, took the menu with a smile and looked at it.

When everyone opened the menu, they were all shocked by the unit price of hundreds or thousands of yuan. Even Li Guodong, who had been clamoring for poor Chuchen just now, smacked his lips when he saw this.

"Xiaochen, it's a bit too expensive here, why don't we change places?" Mrs. Zhou said.

Chu Chen smiled and said to everyone: "Don't worry, I can still afford to treat everyone to a meal. At worst, I can eat back the money I won just now. Come on, everyone will order a dish."

Seeing Chu Chen's remarks, everyone couldn't follow his wishes, so they all picked and ordered dishes, and finally summed up, no surprises, they all ordered some cheaper dishes, so Chu Chen ordered again. A few hard dishes, and the sweets that children like to eat, and a few bottles of drinks and Moutai.

After the waiter went down, Li Guodong said with a smile: "Okay, Xiaochen, you are here to fight the local tyrants and landlords for us!"

Chu Chen joked, "I can't help it, I'm panicking because I have too much money."

Everyone laughed happily after hearing this.

The reason why Chu Chen fell in love with this private restaurant was that it was worth the money, and the other was that the food was served quickly. Within a few minutes after the waiters went down, the dishes they ordered were on the table one after another.

Chu Chen poured wine and drinks for everyone, raised his glass and said, "It's rare for everyone to get together like this, so I wish you all good health, smooth career, and all the best. Cheers!" After speaking, he took the lead and drank it all.

"Good wine! It is indeed a national wine. It is really mellow and fragrant, and soft in the mouth. Such a good wine, I must not get drunk tonight!" Lao Wu sighed, shaking his head.

Seeing this, the fifth sister-in-law went up and twisted the ear of the fifth child and said, "I told you not to get drunk, ah! What did you promise me before!"

"It hurts! It hurts! My wife, I will definitely pay attention later. Can you put your hands down first? You see, everyone is watching." The fifth child said painfully with his face twisted.

The fifth sister-in-law put down her hands and said to the fifth child with a straight face: "Well, remember what you said, otherwise, don't blame my family for serving you."

Lao Wu nodded repeatedly with a depressed expression on his face, and everyone laughed secretly when they saw this.

The dishes here are indeed quite extraordinary. Everyone was full of praise after eating, talking while eating, and the atmosphere during the meal was very lively.
