New Year's Eve

  Xue Family

   In the kitchen, Xue Yufei was helping her mother with the New Year's Eve dinner, while Yang Chen accompanied Father Xue in the living room drinking and chatting.

   If Yang Chen's people were in Xiangjiang before the New Year's Eve, then on New Year's Eve, they would definitely be at the Xue family's side, and accompany Xue's father and Xue's mother to eat New Year's Eve.

   Unlike He Chaoqiong and Chen Yulian's family, the Xue family consists of Xue's father and Xue's mother. In order to prevent the two old people from being deserted during the Chinese New Year, Yang Chen specially set this rule.

  On New Year's Eve, he and Xue Yufei went back to Xue's house to celebrate the New Year, while He Chaoqiong and Chen Yulian went home to spend the New Year with their families.

   In this regard, He Chaoqiong and Chen Yulian didn't say anything. After all, Yang Chen was raised by the Xue family, and Xue's father and Xue's mother only had one daughter, Xue Yufei, not like they had a big family on both sides.

   After chatting for a while, Father Xue suddenly said: "A-Chen, next year I want to retire and hand over Xue's manufacturing to Yu Fei, what do you think?"

   "Press?" Yang Chen was stunned when he heard the words, and said with some doubts: "Uncle, what are you doing when you step back?"

   "Didn't you tell me and Yu Fei before that you're in good health, and you'll be fine if you work for another ten years. How come you're doing well now, and suddenly you're about to retire?"

Father Xue shook his head and said, "It's true that you are in good health, but I have to think about your aunt. You don't know, since you and Yu Fei moved out, your aunt is at home alone, and the house is deserted. She doesn't know what to do either."

"In the past, when you were at home, she needed to take care of the two of you, and she wouldn't be too lonely at home, but now she can't. Most of the time at home, there is no one, and your aunt doesn't like to go out and talk to people. I'm busy with work every day. , just come back at night and be able to accompany her for a while."

"Auntie doesn't like to talk much now, and eating every day is not as lively as before. Only when you come back with Yu Fei, the family will be more lively. You should know that when eating before, aunt was not very talkative. Now you and Yu Fei Every time Fei comes back, her parents are short-sighted and talk more than me..."

   "So, I think I'll officially retire after the New Year's Eve. Let Yu Fei take over the Xue's business, or find someone to take over. If Yu Fei is too busy, I think the company's Xiao Chen is good."

   Hearing this, Yang Chen glanced in the direction of the kitchen, thinking that every time he and Xue Yufei came back, Mother Xue really talked a lot more than before, and even sometimes urged them to have a child quickly, and she would help take care of it when that time comes.

   In the entire Xue family, Mother Xue was the one who paid the most for the family, but her efforts and gains were not proportional and had been ignored by everyone.

   Thinking of this, Yang Chen felt that Father Xue had retired, and it would be good to spend more time with Mother Xue, so he said, "Uncle, if you really want to retire, then I will discuss it with Yu Fei and see what she has to say."

   said, Yang Chen couldn't help but say: "After you retire, do you have any plans, Uncle? For example, take your aunt out for a walk around and have a look?"

Father Xue took a sip of the wine and said, "I've already thought about the plan, doesn't your ATV have a food show? Your auntie likes to watch it on weekdays. I plan to take your aunt to travel abroad. Take her personally to taste the food from all over the world."

   Hearing Father Xue's plan to travel around, Yang Chen determined that Father Xue had a plan to retire, rather than just talking about it casually.

   "Uncle's plan is good. If my aunt agrees, I'll find someone to arrange it for my uncle. By the way, I'll help you with the planning, lest you encounter some inconvenience when you travel due to language barriers."

   Father Xue said: "This is fine, you can help me to see the arrangement, it's really not good, my aunt and I will follow your food show."

  Yang Chen made a final decision and said, "In that case, uncle, wait for the news at home, and I'll make arrangements for you and auntie here after the New Year."

   Yang Chen's words just finished, and happened to be heard by Xue's mother who came out of the kitchen with something, "What do you want to arrange for us?"

Seeing Mother Xue carrying a large plate, Yang Chen quickly got up and walked to Mother Xue's side, took over the sweet and sour fish she had prepared, and said, "Uncle said that he wants to take you to the ring after retirement. Traveling around the world and tasting delicious food from all over the world makes me envious.”

   "He retired?" Mother Xue turned her head and glanced at her wife, then shook her head and said, "Your uncle will not be willing to retire in his entire life unless he can't work that day."

   "But my uncle just told me that he has decided to retire after the new year, and asked me to make arrangements for you."

   "Real or fake?" Mother Xue heard this, with a look of disbelief.

   Mother Xue looked at her wife in surprise, obviously wanting to see what Father Xue had to say, but Father Xue didn't answer, instead focusing on the sweet and sour fish on the table.

"Stinky boy, you are really capable, and now even your aunt dares to lie." Xue mother slapped Yang Chen's arm angrily, her eyes were a little lost, and urged: "Hurry up, go to the kitchen to help together. bring something."

  …

   "Uncle and aunt, Yu Fei, come, let's toast first."

   "Cheers everyone, happy new year."

   "Cheers and Happy New Year..."

   After the toast, Yang Chen didn't sit down, but stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop using the chopsticks and listen to him.

  "Everyone listen to me first"

   "Auntie, Yu Fei"

   "There is a big announcement to be made next"

   Xue Yufei put down her chopsticks obediently.

   "What big news?"

  Yang Chen looked at Father Xue who was beside him, and asked, "Uncle, it's up to you to tell this, or should I tell you for you?"

   Father Xue stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, and put it in Mother Xue's bowl, "It's the same for anyone who says it, you speak for me!"

   "Okay, then I said"

   "Speak quickly..."

  Xue Yufei couldn't help urging when she saw Yang Chen dawdling.

  Yang Chen didn't mean to hang his appetite, and said directly: "Uncle just told me that he is going to retire after the new year, and hand over the Xue's industry to you, and then he will take his aunt to travel around the world."

   "Auntie, I really didn't lie to you just now. If you don't believe me, ask your uncle. He has already planned it."

   Xue Yufei was stunned after hearing this, and then asked: "Retire? Dad, do you really plan to retire? When did you decide? Why didn't I know?"

"It's true, when it was decided, it's been a while, you don't know, that's because I just told Achen just now that you can take over the Xue's business after the new year, or you should hire someone to take over the business. Now, you and Ah Chen decide this matter, and I don't care what happens in the future, you just leave the signboard for me."

   "It's not easy for your mother to be busy at home by herself all these years. I want to take advantage of the fact that my mother and I are not old enough to walk, and now you can go out and have a look."

   "Your mother has never left Xiangjiang. She doesn't go out now. After a few years, I'm afraid we want to go out, and we don't have the energy anymore..."
