“It’s been ten days now, has Ah San said anything about when he’s coming back?” Azu asked, looking at the calendar.
“No, he hasn’t.” Mom said, shaking her head.
“I received a call this afternoon, he said he’s taking an afternoon flight and should be home tonight.” Kang Er Zheng said.
“Should we go pick him up?” Azu asked.
“He didn’t say anything about it, I think.” Kang Er Zheng shook his head.
“It’s not like he’s going to Hong Kong, what can he possibly have? We don’t need to pick him up.” Ah Zong said nonchalantly.
“This is different, there’s a lot of good stuff in Shanghai.” Azu said.
“You’re right, Shanghai is developing rapidly now, they have a lot of things that we don’t have here.” Kang Er Zheng agreed.
“Uncle Yao, are you saying that Third Uncle has so much fun in Shanghai that he doesn’t want to come back?” Tian Xiu said smartly.
“Clever.” Azu gave Tian Xiu a thumbs up in praise.
“What’s the big deal, he was on a business trip for a few days and spent a few more days with Xing Zi, ten days isn’t that long.” Kang Er Zheng calculated.
“That’s true, what Little Uncle said is right, he must be having the time of his life because he’s with a beautiful lady.” Ah Zong said with a lewd smile. “If I had a beautiful woman to keep me company, I would…”
“And what would you do?” Second Sister-in-Law came out of the kitchen, not happy.
“Heh heh.” Ah Zong chuckled.
“Be careful, she’s a beautiful lady, a snake in the grass.” Second Sister-in-Law was very resentful, that guy not only stole Third Uncle, he wants to steal my husband too.
“Anyway, this guy is just causing trouble.” Kang Bo also listened with displeasure.
“Will the company punish him?” Mom asked worriedly.
“Mom, don’t worry, these days, who’s afraid of punishment? Now, working is like dating, if you fit, you stay together, if you don’t, you break up. Ah San probably already found a new job in Shanghai.” Azu said, not taking it seriously.
“Big Sister, don’t listen to their nonsense, Ah Yao dares to stay that long, he must have been given permission.” Kang Er Zheng said.
Ah Yao’s job is different from Azu’s, he has a secure job, now it’s easy to leave, but difficult to get back in.
“No, Little Uncle, I think what Uncle Yao said makes sense, think about it, now Shanghai is full of gold, many Shanghainese people go back to dig for gold and make money, maybe Xing Zi wants to keep Third Uncle there to develop.” Second Sister-in-Law said, it was unclear if she was being intentional.
These words directly caused Kang Bo and Mom to be alert.
“What? If that’s the case, then if Ah Yao stays in Shanghai, won’t I see him less often?” Mom said worriedly.
“Anyway, I’ve lost this son.” Kang Bo said, his face black with anger.
“Xing Zi’s family doesn’t have any male offspring, maybe she’s going to make our Third Uncle her son-in-law.” Second Sister-in-Law continued to pour fuel on the fire.
Hearing this, Mom and Kang Bo both furrowed their brows, becoming even more worried.
“Wife, don’t talk nonsense.” Ah Zong said.
“Big Brother, Big Sister, Ah Yao can’t possibly become a son-in-law, you can rest assured.” Kang Er Zheng was helpless, did Second Sister-in-Law have such a big grudge against Xing Zi? Her hostility was huge.
Mom, who initially had a lot of good feelings for Xing Zi, was now considering whether to reconsider the relationship between Ah Yao and Xing Zi, worried that Ah Yao would really be tricked by Xing Zi.
Second Sister-in-Law was about to say something else.
Ah Yao’s voice was heard from outside.
“I’m back.”
Everyone heard it and put down their chopsticks, walking out.
Kang Bo sat in the head of the table.
“You’re finally back, are there gold nuggets to pick up in Shanghai?” Kang Bo’s opening words made them feel that the atmosphere was off.
“Dad.” Ah Zong called out to Kang Bo, hearing him speak so rudely.
Kang Bo turned his head.
“Miss Xing Zi, I heard that Shanghai men all speak like women, is that true?” Ah Zong picked up on the topic.
“How could that be?” Xing Zi also laughed and denied it.
“Haha, Second Brother, what you said is wrong, Shanghai has changed a lot now, even I have to take a second look.” Ah Yao also said with a smile.
“Really? Shanghai is good, but can it be better than Hong Kong?” Mom heard Ah Yao keep praising Shanghai and was worried in her heart, afraid that Ah Yao was really going to Shanghai.
“Mom, you only know about Hong Kong, you’re too short-sighted.” Ah Yao said with a smile.
“Yes, Hong Kong is good, but Shanghai also has many advantages.” Xing Zi said confidently.
“No matter how big the advantage, it can’t compare to being a free port.” Ah Zong said back with a smile.
“Second Brother, this issue can’t be explained in a short time, you need to write a thesis to explain it clearly. You know there are many foreign companies investing 8 billion yuan in Shanghai recently, guess why?” Ah Yao asked.
“Because there’s gold to be dug there.” Azu said excitedly.
“That’s right, you want to go dig too?” Ah Yao teased.
“I want to, but unfortunately, I don’t have the opportunity.” Azu said regretfully.
Kang Er Zheng heard that a lot of money is pouring into Shanghai recently, he also pondered, should I also get involved?
“Many people in Shanghai are going to Qiantang now.” Xing Zi said.
“Beach landing, I think it’s more like reincarnation.” Second Sister-in-Law sneered.
“Beach landing means seizing business opportunities.” Kang Er Zheng explained. “By the way, Xing Zi, what kind of specialty did you bring for my mom?”
“I did, this is our most famous pork bone and glutinous rice cake.” Xing Zi took out an insulated lunch box and gave it to Kang Er Zheng. “This is pork bone and glutinous rice cake, everyone try it.”
Kang Qi Zheng took it and ate without hesitation.
Before he crossed over, he saw a TV series, “Fanhua,” about Bao Zong and Ye Shu.
This pork bone and glutinous rice cake appeared many times, he had been wanting to try it, how good could it be.
“This was bought and packed by Xing Zi before getting on the plane, it’s a bit cold now.” Ah Yao spoke of Xing Zi’s credit.
“It’s still warm.” Kang Er Zheng picked up his chopsticks and ate a piece, still warm.
A piece of meat with some bones wrapped in flour was deep-fried in oil, with a lot of gravy poured over it.
There were also a few pieces of deep-fried glutinous rice cake.
Kang Er Zheng was eating it for the first time, he thought it was glutinous rice cake wrapped around the pork bone.
Now he discovered that it was actually separate pork bone and glutinous rice cake.
Others also picked up their chopsticks and ate.
Kang Er Zheng thought it was okay, not the kind of food he would love to eat.
“I don’t understand why Miss Wang loves to eat it so much.” Kang Er Zheng mumbled softly.
“What?” Others didn’t hear what Kang Er Zheng said.
“Nothing, I said it’s pretty good.” Kang Er Zheng quickly found an excuse.
“It is good, it’s quite tasty, I didn’t expect glutinous rice cake to be deep-fried.” Azu nodded as he ate a piece of glutinous rice cake.
