The new store is full of new things.
"In addition to the large cosmetic cases that need to be shipped by logistics, my store has to send out one or two hundred packages by express delivery every day." When Liu Qinglin said this, his tone was confident and proud.
Looking at Jiang Xue's expression, he looked like he was asking for praise.
Jiang Xue received the signal and immediately praised in an exaggerated tone: "Brother, you have made rapid progress."
"You really delayed your career as a barber."
"You are really amazing. You are self-taught and have a great talent for business."
"You are worthy of being my brother. Awesome." Liu Qinglin was a little embarrassed by her praise, but the smile that could not be concealed by the corner of his mouth also showed that he was very happy with Jiang Xue's praise.
After handing over the express, Chen Hua saw Jiang Xue praising Liu Qinglin when he entered the room. He said with a bit of disdain: "You two are really the best at praising each other I have ever seen. He called to praise you the day before yesterday, and you praised him back today."
Jiang Xue also smiled embarrassedly.
"By the way, are you all done? Aren't we going to eat hot pot? Hurry up, I'm hungry." Chen Hua urged.
"Where's Yu Juan?" Jiang Xue looked around and asked.
"She went home early to marinate the meat. She said that marinating in advance will make it more flavorful, and we can eat it directly later. She should be back soon. I'll call to ask." Before Chen Hua got through, he saw Yu Juan coming in with an umbrella.
When he saw Jiang Xue, his eyes lit up.
"You're here. The snow is getting heavier. How can we go to buy vegetables? Go to the supermarket or the vegetable market."
"I saw an advertisement. Isn't there a large supermarket opening over at the Central Plaza? Let's go there to buy vegetables." Jiang Xue suggested.
"It's a bit far." Liu Qinglin said.
The mall is three or four kilometers away from them.
"Let's take a taxi. Riding an electric bike or motorcycle in this cold weather is simply a crime." Jiang Xue said.
"I just rode here with gloves on. Now my hands are almost numb. I remember that the winter in S City was not so cold. It feels particularly cold this year."
"Here's my water cup to warm you up." Chen Hua heard Yu Juan say this and handed his hand-warming glass water cup to Yu Juan.
"Thank you." Yu Juan took it.
"Then let's go. Chen Hua, go to the intersection to take a taxi and let the car come in." Liu Qinglin said.
It's just right for four people to take a taxi. When Jiang Xue got in the car, she looked at the greenery and trees covered with snow, and suddenly some vague memories came to her mind.
It seems that this year, a large-scale ice and snow natural disaster has ushered in the coldest winter in 30 years in the south.
Jiang Xue only had a vague impression of these memories. She only remembered that it snowed heavily that year, and that Uncle Jiang went south to work and didn't come back until New Year's Eve.
He was stranded at the train station.
Aunt Jiang, Grandma Jiang, and even Father Jiang were worried and anxious because Uncle Jiang was trapped for a whole year, and they didn't smile.
Not only her family, but many people in the same village who went out to work had a very difficult journey back home.
Or they didn't come back at all.
The news was also full of disaster reports from various places, and calls for migrant workers not to return home and celebrate the New Year where they are, but Chinese people are particularly obsessed with going home for the New Year. After so many years, Jiang Xue still remembers the scenes of long highways blocked in the news, crowded Spring Festival travel, and train stations full of people.
Speaking of 2008, in addition to the snowstorm and financial crisis at the beginning of the year, there was also the earthquake in May.
In the face of natural disasters and natural disasters, even if she was reborn, she could only ensure that she or the people around her were not in danger. For those who lost their lives in the face of disasters, she seemed to be unable to do anything.
Thinking of this, the good mood of eating hot pot was gone, and the mood became depressed.
"Jiang Xue, are you carsick?" Yu Juan looked at Jiang Xue who had been staring out the window after getting on the car, and asked with concern.
"Yeah." Jiang Xue nodded.
The earthquake is still a few months away, but the snowstorm that followed, and the nearly paralyzed return home during the Spring Festival in various places, thinking of these Jiang Xue asked the four people in the car: "Are you going back to celebrate the Spring Festival?"
"I definitely won't go back, I have no home to return to." Liu Qinglin said first.
"I won't go back either, I'm homeless." Yu Juan also answered dejectedly.
"Me too, I'll stay in S City for the Spring Festival." Jiang Xue said.
After the three of them finished speaking, they looked at Chen Hua, the only one who didn't speak.
"I have to go back. My grandparents are waiting for me to go back for the New Year. But when I went to buy tickets these two days, there were a lot of people lining up.
There were many other things, so I didn't line up. I wonder if there will be fewer people as the Chinese New Year approaches. "After his parents passed away, he has been living with his grandparents. His grandmother has called him several times to ask when he will go back.
"There will be more and more people. If you want to go back, it's best to go in the next two days. Otherwise, it will be more difficult as the year ends. I saw in the news that the weather may get colder and colder, and there will be continuous snowfall. At that time, it may affect the traffic."
"It's busy at the end of the year and I can't leave."
"If it gets colder, the express delivery will probably stop in advance. If not, you should go back quickly." Liu Qinglin said.
Chen Hua thought for a while, "I'll go to the train station tomorrow to see if I can buy a ticket. If I can't buy a ticket, I won't go back and spend the Chinese New Year with you. ”
Actually, he doesn’t have to go back.
This way, his grandparents don’t have to spend the New Year alone with him.
Then his grandmother couldn’t help crying when she saw him and thought of his dead parents.
If he doesn’t go back, his grandparents can go to his uncle’s house, where the whole family is happy and surrounded by children and grandchildren.
Thinking this way, he doesn’t have to go back this New Year. He can go back in the spring after the New Year, when the weather will be better.
“I’ve decided. I won’t go back either. "Chen Hua said with determination.
I will call my grandparents after dinner and tell them that I can't buy tickets.
Jiang Xue planned to let the people in the two studios take a holiday at the end of January, and they had to make changes.
She will ask the studio to stop accepting orders tomorrow and go back for the New Year as soon as possible to avoid the Spring Festival travel rush and the snowstorm.
As for the earthquake in the near future, she may not be able to make historical changes, nor does she have the ability to change it, but she now has two accounts with a good number of fans. She may be able to do something within her ability to slightly change the fate of some people.
For next year Jiang Xue also had a preliminary plan for what to do.
No longer bothering herself, when the car arrived at the supermarket, she cheered up, not depressed, and picked the ingredients for the hot pot with a few people.
Not only ingredients, but also fruit drinks, beer, and snacks, they bought two carts.
After taking a taxi home again, Yu Juan rushed into the kitchen and asked a few people to pick and wash vegetables.
The three of them divided the work and cooperated, and soon the table was full of side dishes. Yu Juan brought out a few pots of meat that she had marinated in advance, "Try it, I've eaten it once in a hot pot restaurant before, and this is the first time I marinate it at home. "
Upon hearing this, Chen Hua immediately picked up a piece of beef and put it into the pot. Once it came into contact with the boiling soup, the beef quickly shrank and turned pink.
He gently stirred it with chopsticks to heat the beef evenly until it was fully cooked.
Put it in a bowl, dip it in some sauce, and then put it in his mouth.
The beef was very tender and melted in his mouth. The aroma and spiciness of the sauce burst in his mouth, and Chen Hua had an expression of endless aftertaste.
