Zhen Zhen and Xi Junjie had discussed it when they first got married, to work harder in their careers while they were young, and it would not be too late to have children when they were twenty-five or six years old. Xi Changbo and Ling Xiulan are not the kind of traditional in-laws who can't do without grandchildren. In their eyes, whether or not the young couple will have children and when they will have children is their own business, and their parents have no right to interfere too much. Even in order to make Zhen Zhen feel more at ease, Ling Xiulan made an excuse for Zhen Zhen in front of Mrs. Xi, saying that it would be safer to have a child for two more years.

Since she has already passed the bright road before her elders, Zhen Zhen has been using contraception since she got married. Just now, Mrs. Li suddenly asked about the child, Zhen Zhen felt a sudden feeling when she touched her belly, it seems that as long as she wants a child, it doesn't matter whether she wants to have one or twins, triplets, whether it's a boy or a child Girls can do it. This feeling is very strange, Zhen Zhen looked at her hand tangled, and then tried to put it on Wang Sufen's stomach, the strange feeling just now came again, it seemed that as long as she had a thought, Wang Sufen would be able to cherish the pearl, It doesn't matter if you have a few, it doesn't matter if you want a boy or a girl.

Seeing Zhen Zhen's strange behavior, Mrs. Li's eyes flashed with excitement: "Are you pregnant?"

"No!" Zhen Zhen shook her head with horror on her face, Madam Li angrily stretched out her hand and stabbed her in the forehead: "What kind of expression do you have? You say you are a child, why don't you care about having a child."

Zhen Zhen San smiled and hugged Mrs. Li's arm: "I am also a child, what kind of child do you want?" Seeing Mrs. Li's worried look, Zhen Zhen shook her arm with a smile: "Nanny, don't worry. , I know this." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li wanted to stare again, Zhen Zhen explained quickly, "Junjie and I have discussed it, and if I want to have a child in a few years, I will also be with my parents-in-law and my parents-in-law. I've said it all. My mother-in-law said that a few years are fine, and it's better for a young person to start a business than Guangwo to give birth to a child at home. "

Mrs. Li was relieved when she heard that Ling Xiulan had no opinion, and her face became a little more smiling: "Why don't you say that my family Zhen Zhen is lucky, and other mother-in-law can't wait to get married this month and get pregnant next month, Two or three months in the evening, there are expressions on your face. You are a good mother-in-law. You have spent several years at a time, and she happily praised your idea. "

"The times are different now. Now that the policy is so good, I don't think much about the ways to make money, and I am so worried that I focus on having children and raising children." Zhen Zhen took a bite of the apple and said confidently: "One more thing in my mother-in-law's heart. Like a mirror, her mind is not on her daughter-in-law giving birth to a child."

Mrs. Li thought of Ling Xiulan's recent busy schedule, and thought that she didn't have the heart to bring children to Zhen Zhen, so she whispered in Zhen Zhen's ear: "Is your mother-in-law not free to help you take care of the children? Zhen Zhen Don't worry, milk likes you the most, when you want to have a baby, just give birth, there is me and your mother, we will help you."

Zhen Zhen looked at the noisy children in the room and couldn't help but ask with a smile, "It's all so noisy, you haven't brought enough yet."

"What do you know?" Mrs. Li rolled her eyes at her: "I like this kind of lively when I'm old. If only your parents and I were at home, it would be boring, and there would be no vitality at all."

Seeing that the dumplings and the biscuits were all sweaty, Zhen Zhen nodded in agreement: "It's lively enough."

Several boys were crazy in the living room, while three girls lived in Mrs. Li's house. Tang Bao and two little cousins ​​sat on Mrs. Li's bed and bought a bunch of Zhen Zhen. The doll coaxed them both to play.

These two little girls are the last children of Mingxi and Mingbei respectively. They were both girls born on the front and back feet. Encountering such a lucky event, the brothers discussed giving the two girls nicknames that sounded like sisters, one called Dian Dian and the other Xin Xin. Although they sounded better than all kinds of steamed buns and dumplings, they didn't run out. Eating queue.

Now the two little girls are three years old, they are white and tender and soft, and it hurts to look at them. Every time Mingbei heard his family call his father in a soft and glutinous voice, he would smile like a fool. If he had a tail on the back of his butt, he would be able to shake it to the sky.

Hearing the sweet and soft laughter of the great-granddaughter from inside the house, Mrs. Li couldn't sit still outside: "I have to look at those two little girls."

"Oh, you don't want a granddaughter if you have a great-granddaughter." Zhen Zhen deliberately shook her head and sighed with a jealous look: "Just now you said that you like me the most, but you forgot it in a blink of an eye."

When Mrs. Li heard this tone, she couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, I like you the most. Even if you are such a big person, you are not afraid of being embarrassed." Going away, he did not forget to mutter: "My family's Zhen Zhen is fortunate to be old, and since we have Zhen Zhen, our family's feng shui has changed. Otherwise, how could there be such a good thing in a generation of three girls."

After a while, it was time to eat at noon. Because he was going back to the old house in the evening, Xi Junjie came over to accompany Mrs. Li to eat at noon, and he did not forget to bring some small gifts for the New Year. The clothes, jewelry and supplements of Mrs. Li, Li Muwu and Wang Sufen have long been delivered, which are bought for the children. Xi Junjie took out a new bag of clothes and distributed them according to the names posted on it. In addition, the children who went to school each had a new schoolbag and a set of extracurricular books. Those who did not go to school were given toys and snacks. Diandian and Xinxin were holding a doll taller than themselves, and the happy one sent a wet kiss to Zhen Zhen's face.

After lunch, Ling Xiulan had already taken a nap when the young couple returned home, and the family planned to go to the Xi family's old house at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Although there are still two days before the Chinese New Year, the old lady usually gives the babysitters a holiday at this time, and the work such as cooking and cleaning is done by her own family.

Although the old house of the Xi family is big enough, Mrs. Xi has three sons and many grandchildren, so the old house is full of people when they arrive at the New Year's Eve. In fact, more people are not afraid of anything, as long as they don't have the best quality. Fortunately, in the past few years that Zhen Zhen and the Xi family have been in contact, the only relatives who are more excellent are the Xi Sumei family, and they are not seen during the Chinese New Year.

In the past few years, Mrs. Xi's life has become smoother and smoother, and her tolerance for the little daughter who is not pleasing to the eye all day long and the granddaughter who is full of calculations is getting lower and lower. They are definitely not allowed to come on big days such as New Year's, festivals and birthdays. of. Usually they want to come, and Mrs. Xi also avoids Sunday or Saturday nights, and she doesn't want Xi Sumei to interfere with her family's reunion.

Xi Sumei's three older brothers and one older sister have long been cold-hearted towards her. Most of the time, she doesn't feel missed when she doesn't see her more than once a year. Instead, she almost forgot about this person. Xi Sumei's daughter Shang Qingran once had the idea of ​​becoming friends with Zhen Zhen and then making money from Zhen Zhen. I have to say that Shang Qingran's idea was very good, but Zhen Zhen didn't give her a chance to implement it. Zhen Zhen never liked people who had the words "I want to trick you" written on their faces, but she didn't have time to talk to them, how much more money she could make with that effort, why waste time on such a person.

Therefore, Zhen Zhen's method for Shang Qingran is to hide. With space and superpowers, as long as Zhen Zhen doesn't want to see a person, that person will not be able to find her even if they find her dead. As time goes by, Zhen Zhen's factory is getting bigger and bigger, and at this time Shang Qingran's plan to be Zhen Zhen's best friend is still in the egg and has never had a chance to hatch.

The young couple went back to their small courtyard hand in hand, Xi Junjie was still looking forward to the rare afternoon of leisure, and as soon as he entered the house, he wanted to drag Zhen Zhen to roll the sheets. Zhen Zhen smiled and pushed Xi Junjie onto the bed, then turned around and got up and ran: "A business partner brought me some good things from the south, I'll go get it first."

Xi Junjie was about to say something when he got up from the bed, but Zhen Zhen had already run away and disappeared, so she could only stuff herself back to the bed in a depressing way.

Zhen Zhen watched her family take a nap in bed with her consciousness, so she went directly to the space to change into summer clothes and came to the southernmost island of China. Today, this small island does not have the prosperous appearance of later generations, but the green and clear waters and rows of wild coconut trees are much more beautiful than later generations.

A wooden boat was released from the space, Zhen Zhen sat firmly on it, there was no wind on the sea at this time, but the sea still pushed the boat towards the depths of the sea quickly. Zhen Zhen lay down on the boat with her eyes closed, her consciousness went deep to the bottom of the sea, and controlled the waves to accurately and accurately transfer seafood such as plum ginseng, abalone, sea urchin, jiwei shrimp, blue crab, flower crab, grouper, mango snail, and ivory mussel in the sea. They were placed in buckets one after another on the boat, the boat had only been out for 20 minutes, and the buckets under Zhen Zhen's feet were already full.

The seafood was squeezed into the bucket and couldn't turn around, but because of Zhen Zhen's ability, they were all jumping up and down. With so much seafood, even one point for the two is enough to eat. Zhen Zhen was about to leave this place when she suddenly saw a few very large lobsters swimming past the sponge under her feet, Zhen Zhen's saliva suddenly flooded. Moved these buckets of seafood into the space, Zhen Zhen took out another empty bucket, and soon ten big lobsters with their teeth and claws were sent into the bucket by the waves, smelling the unique fishy smell of seafood, Zhen Zhen's smiling eyes were crooked. .

Because she had to go to the old house in the afternoon and didn't have much time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea, Zhen Zhen waved her hand and disappeared on the sea with the boat and the lobster. The buckets of seafood that disappeared were all obediently staying in Zhen Zhen's space at this time, Zhen Zhen took out a pair of cotton gloves from the foreign building, quickly divided the returned seafood into two, and put them in several wooden boxes inside.

Before leaving the space, Zhen Zhen still did not forget to look at the house, Xi Changbo and Ling Xiulan were quiet in the room and probably hadn't woken up yet, Xi Junjie was sleeping soundly with Zhen Zhen's pillow in her arms, the babysitter at home was already on vacation, Nuo The big house was silent at this time. put seafood in the front yard first, and can put it directly in the car when go to the old house later.

The remaining five boxes are for parents and milk for Chinese New Year. Zhen Zhen went to the next yard and called all the boys over and asked them to bring seafood. Mrs. Li was watching TV, did she see Zhen Zhen being mysterious? , also put on clothes and followed to watch the fun.

The five wooden boxes each weighed about 20 pounds, and the boys were panting when they carried them, Zhen Zhen kept shaking her head as she followed behind and warned, "You guys are not physically strong, this is such a heavy thing. I can't lift it, it's a bit embarrassing."

Several boys knew that their aunt was strong, so no one dared to say a word, and they were relieved until they put the things in the kitchen.

"What's all this for?" Mrs. Li bent over and listened to the sound of prickling in the wooden box. She was very curious: "Why is there still any movement?"

Zhen Zhen casually cut the rope outside the box with the loudest sound, and a few big lobsters that had been stunned for a long time immediately climbed out, scaring the group of boys and running away.

Zhen Zhen smiled and picked up the lobster and threw it into the bucket on the side, watching her nephews crying and urinating happily: "It's too useless, I won't give it to you when I look back."

Mingxi and Mingbei also came over when they heard the movement. As soon as they saw this posture, they knew that they had got a lot of marine objects. The two of them consciously rolled up their sleeves to find scissors, and prepared to pack up all the things in the box. broken.

Unexpectedly, after opening several boxes, except for the grouper, which seemed to have just died, the others were still alive, Mingbei asked Zhen Zhen in surprise: "It's so far from the south that they are still alive, what's the matter? ah?"

Zhen Zhen had an unfathomable expression on her face: "What do you know, people have sent them all the way for the sake of relationship, if they send dead fish and shrimp, it won't offend anyone, I guess they are all brought with sea water and oxygen. , and then pack it before giving it away. Okay, I won't tell you, you hurry up and pack the things separately, and then put some water, and if you die, you will be blind. "

Seeing Mingbei and Mingxi packing up, Zhen Zhen and Mrs. Li said hello: "Daddy, I'll go first, I guess my parents-in-law should wake up now, we have to go to the old house."

"Go, let's go." Mrs. Li said with a smile: "Say hello to Junjie and his grandma for me, and by the way, ask her when she will bring your aunt to our house to play mahjong."

Since Ling Xiulan and Zhen Zhen decided to partner up to open a beauty salon, there have been three shortages of fixed partners. Ling Xiulan's eldest sister-in-law Chang Leqing was worried that her mother-in-law would not be home every day, but the old lady dragged her away in a blink of an eye. The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law played cards with Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen for two mornings. After eating together at noon, the two went back to the house that Ling Xiulan prepared for the old lady to rest for a while. They would sing in the afternoon and return to work earlier than Mayor Xi. busy.

When Zhen Zhen heard that Mrs. Li was still thinking about playing mahjong, she couldn't help but have a black line on her face: "It's so good to sit on the sofa and watch TV in such a cold day. Does playing mahjong sit for two hours without a sore waist?"

"What do you know?" Mrs. Li said plausibly: "Your mother-in-law said that playing mahjong is good for your brain, and you will not be confused if you live to a hundred." As Mrs. Li spoke, her eyes fell on the grouper in the bucket. : "It's good to eat fish here. Steam two at night. If you eat more fish, you won't be confused when you get old."

Zhen Zhen smiled and shook her head, greeted her family and hurried back to the next door, Xi Junjie was already up, Zhen Zhen washed her hands and face and changed her clothes, waiting for the young couple to pack up and go to the old house Ling Xiulan also came over to call someone.

The family carried the boxes and walked out. When they got to the gate, they were a little dazed when they saw the five wooden boxes neatly placed there. Before Ling Xiulan could ask, Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "Seafood from a business partner. "

Zhen Zhen's business is doing very well now, heard from Xi Changshan that this year the furniture factory has become the factory that pays the most tax among all the enterprises in the imperial capital. The original factory building of the furniture factory can no longer meet the production needs. Zhen Zhen has applied for a large piece of land in the suburbs of Beijing, and plans to build a new factory building after the new year. Such a person who is able to send seafood all the way for the new year is not a good idea. strange.

The family of four drove to the old house. Old Mrs. Xi was talking to a group of grandchildren. She smiled when she saw Xi Junjie and Zhen Zhen coming: "You are here? Is it cold outside? Zhen Zhen, before you came, your grandmother said what?"

Zhen Zhen said with a smile: "My grandma asked me to say hello to her, and by the way, let me know when you are going to play mahjong in Chinese New Year."

The old lady Xi was immediately happy: "I'll go after fifteen."

Although it's not yet New Year's Eve, the whole family gathered together, not to mention that Zhen Zhen brought so much fresh seafood, which is a rare delicacy in the harsh winter.

Although Xi Junjie is the person with the best craftsmanship in the Xi family, the Xi family did not think that cooking for the Chinese New Year must be Xi Junjie's business. Except for Mr. Xi and Xi Changshan, who were drinking tea in the study, everyone else was crowded in the heat. In Hu's kitchen, there are those who clean seafood and those who wash vegetables. Everyone has to make their own specialty dish, and then ask Mrs. Xi to try the dish and make it well.

The seafood brought by Zhen Zhen is enough for such a large family to eat for several meals. If the craftsmanship is not good, they will rush to cook shrimp and steamed crab. Anyway, it is the freshest, and the original taste is the best.

After the lively New Year, Ling Xiulan, Sun Rende, and Wang Xinzhi left Huaguo with their chosen people. The furniture factory was temporarily presided over by Sun Rende's deputy. This person was jointly recommended by Sun Rende and Wang Xinzhi. He was very capable and thoughtful about problems. If Sun Rende left him, he could fully support the factory, and he didn't need to worry too much about Zhen Zhen.

As for the garment factory, Si Yaren is in charge of the work. He has nothing to say except his acuity about the market. Zhen Zhen was worried that he was going to produce some antique clothes that could not be sold, so she simply designed several new spring clothes by herself and let him bring workers to produce first.

These two factories are well-organized enterprises, and a few people will not affect the normal operation of the enterprise in a short time. In contrast, the beauty salon made Zhen Zhen worry a lot. The beauty salon has only 30 beauticians who participated in the training. It is impossible for these people to take them abroad to participate in the training. Therefore, Ling Xiulan selected the best in the previous training, and a total of 6 people were selected to go abroad to visit the top beauty salons in France. Learning, as well as going to the equipment factory to learn how to use related beauty equipment, these people will not only be senior beauticians in beauty salons in the future, but also the most likely to be promoted to management.

The good employees are taken away, and the rest are not restrained. In order to prevent the loss of personnel, these 30 people have signed long-term contracts. Since they are paid as usual, it is impossible for Zhen Zhen to let them relax and forget what they have learned a while ago. Zhen Zhen brought people back to the beauty salon. In addition to the daily cleaning of the environment, she also made them familiar with the environment and what they learned from each other's faces.

The advantages of being a reporter are revealed at this time. According to Zhen Zhen's qualifications, she is definitely not able to keep up with news such as national events. She mainly focuses on the social economy and people's livelihood. This kind of manuscript has many places to be interviewed, and it is time-limited. The sex is not particularly strong, so Yu Shoujing usually gives Zhen Zhen three to five days or a week to complete the task of interviewing and publishing.

In addition to her normal work, Zhen Zhen spent most of her time in the beauty salon, until a month later, after Ling Xiulan returned to China with new-looking staff, more than a dozen beauty equipment and some fashionable clothes from major international brands, Zhen Zhen. Just breathed a sigh of relief.

The equipment is installed in place one by one, and the senior beauticians who have returned to China will unreservedly pass on the skills they have learned abroad to their colleagues who stay in China. After the equipment, the beauty salon is finally ready to open.

In the early stage of the construction of the beauty salon, Zhen Zhen painted a beautiful advertising wall for the beauty salon on the baffle with paint, which attracted the attention of many people. The location of the beauty salon is less than 100 meters away from the most famous commercial street in Imperial Capital. In the past few months, people in Kung Fu Imperial Capital basically knew that a beauty store was going to be opened here.

Even so, Zhen Zhen and Ling Xiulan still made a lot of preparations before the opening. Not only did they put up advertising banners, but they also hired a lot of people to spread the flyers. The advertising posters in the early stage were combined with the pre-opening campaign. On the opening day, not only dozens of people lined up for beauty treatments, but also hundreds of people came to watch the excitement, and even reporters from TV stations and newspapers came. This is the first beauty shop in the imperial capital, which is of great significance.

As the firecrackers were lit, Ling Xiulan opened the door of the beauty salon, and the beauticians and hairdressers in pale pink came out of the line, bowing uniformly to the customers and the crowd: "Yiren Beauty Store Welcome." This attitude gave a boost to many people who were still hesitant, and the queue immediately became longer and longer.

The original positioning of Yiren Beauty Shop is high-end luxury, so even if the beauty service on the first floor is open to ordinary people, it is not cheap. A full set of beauty services is 28 yuan, the cheapest ordinary skin care massage is 10 yuan, and the other side is not cheap. Although the price of hair salons is not so high, the price of haircuts is also twice as expensive as that of shaving salons outside. Not to mention the high price of perm design hairstyles, but here you can use magazines to make curly hair exactly like celebrities, this is not You can compare to those curling your hair with a hot soldering iron out there.

There were too many people in line, and soon the beauty beds on the first floor were all filled, and the ten people behind entered the waiting area ahead of time. The service staff with a sweet smile asked the customers softly about their taste, and then served tea. , juice and coffee, as well as cookies, cakes, fresh diced fruit.

This time, the customers who were annoyed that they were a step late were all smiles this time. Although the cake was only one bite, the soft taste was enough to make them reminisce for a long time. Although it was not convenient to deliver food to those who were waiting outside, the service staff also delivered hot tea one by one.

Although it is not like looking at the face of the service staff when going to a restaurant to buy clothes today, this is the first place where the service staff is so warm and thoughtful to bring tea and water to eat cakes and cookies for free.

The Yiren beauty shop has become a place that ordinary people talk about in just one day.
