Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 448 427. Malicious speculation?

After filling out the application form, Xiang Jin had nothing to do, so she asked her grandparents, "Grandpa, grandma, what kind of decoration style do you like?"

"What kind of decoration style?" Grandma Xiang Jin didn't realize what she meant by asking, so she was a little at a loss.

Xiang Jin's grandfather was puzzled for a while before he realized it, "You mean how we want to decorate the house in the provincial capital, right?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes!"

Her grandparents were silent, and after a while, her grandfather said, "Oh, we don't understand the decoration style you asked about, so what else should we pay attention to?"

"That's right, isn't the house just neatly arranged and looks good, so it's enough for people to live in?" Her grandma also said.

Xiang Jin asked, "Where is it? There are several decoration styles of houses, for example: Chinese decoration style, elegant decoration style, pastoral decoration style, and a modern minimalist decoration style.

The Chinese style of decoration is a style of decorating houses according to the traditional culture and customs of our country. Some classical furniture and screens should be placed inside. A decoration style with national and cultural heritage.

As for the elegant decoration style, people like many senior intellectual families and scholarly families prefer this kind of decoration style, because it can highlight the cultural taste of the people who live in it, but this kind of decoration style is far from modern and simple at first glance. The decoration style is similar, but in fact it is not that simple, and it is much more complicated, because it pays great attention to details and various collocations.

The pastoral style is generally a decoration style that advocates free natural scenery. It mainly uses pastoral scenery, such as rural fields and nurseries, as well as those flowers and plants as decoration materials, such as sofas, curtains and other furniture in the house. Most of the decorations are made of floral fabrics, but our house is [-] square meters, so I don't think it's appropriate to use this style for decoration. "

"Then what about the modern and simple decoration style you mentioned? What kind of decoration style is this?" Her grandma originally thought that it would be better to have a rural decoration style, but when she heard Xiang Jin say that their house The house was not suitable, so the idea was dismissed again.

Xiang Jin said, "Well, generally many people now prefer this kind of decoration style, because it is suitable for all houses. The color combination of black, white and gray is an eternal classic. No matter how many years it is, it will not be outdated. Grandpa, Yan Chen’s house is decorated according to the modern and simple decoration style. My house will also be decorated according to the modern and simple decoration style. Decorate in that style."

Her grandfather said, "Do you like that kind of decoration style? All right, then our house will be decorated according to that style."

Xiang Jin said, "Well, if I don't like it, I will follow my style. You will live in that house in the future, so you have to decorate it according to your own style."

Her grandfather said, "I think the decoration style of Yan Chen's house is not bad?"

Xiang Jin said, "The decoration style of Yan Chen's house is pretty good, and I really like it, but Grandpa, I think the house you live in must match your own identities."

"Hey, how did you say that? What are our identities? Aren't we just ordinary people?" Xiang Jin's grandfather immediately didn't understand.

"Yes, yes, we are just ordinary people," Xiang Jin's grandma was also confused.

Xiang Jin said, "I think people of your era should prefer things with a sense of history.

And my dad, he is a local Shangguan after all, I think he should also be biased towards things that are more calm and introverted, so I think the decoration style of your house should be decorated according to the Chinese style, but because Now that the country is implementing reform and opening up and vigorously developing the economy, it is necessary to have new thinking, new creations, and to break the routine, flexibility and diversity, so I plan to give you a combination of ancient and modern, which can not only reflect our traditional cultural concepts, but also be refreshing. How about the modern cultural atmosphere? "

Her grandparents were even more confused when they heard it, and her grandma laughed and said, "What about ancient and modern, then the decoration is not neither fish nor fowl?"

Xiang Jin said, "Where? It's very trendy, okay! Oh, I can't understand it just by telling you now, so how about this, I'll give you a picture of the effect in a few days, and then you will see You will know the effect picture.”

"Okay, okay, okay, we'll talk about it after seeing your picture," her grandma said hurriedly, not wanting to continue discussing this abstract issue with her.

Xiang Jin was speechless, so he got up and went back to the room, but he said in his heart: "Will it make you greedy when I draw out the new Chinese-style decoration style sketch?"
But when it comes to drawing renderings, she doesn't seem to have that kind of larger drawing paper here, nor does she have that kind of colored paints and brushes, and that kind of bigger drawing ruler. Well, it seems that she still has to draw. It's time to go to the county or the city to buy some and come back.

After making up her mind, Xiang Jin went back to the living room and said to her grandparents, "Grandpa and grandma, I plan to go to the county tomorrow to do some shopping."

"What do you want to buy? There's nothing in town? Why is it so hot?" Her grandma turned her head and asked her with concern.

Xiang Jin shook his head, "The bookstores in the town don't sell them, only the bookstores in the county or city sell them."

"Oh, why is it so hot this day? What if I suffer from heat stroke?" Her grandma glanced outside, then frowned, and said with a worried expression.

Xiang Jin said to her grandfather, "What do you want to buy? Tell grandpa, grandpa will buy it for you!"

Her grandma also said, "Yes, yes, what do you want to buy, tell your grandpa, and let him buy it for you!"

Xiang Jin said, "Grandpa probably doesn't know how to choose, so I'll go by myself. I'll leave early tomorrow, and then I'll come back after shopping. It won't be hot."

Her grandma said, "That's fine, then you should pay attention to safety, those cars and people!"

"understood!"

Her grandfather went to the refrigerator and opened the refrigerator door to check the contents, and asked her what she wanted for lunch so that he could make it for her.

Xiang Jin asked him what else was in the refrigerator?
Her grandfather said, "There is half a chicken, a leg of lamb, and some sausages, fresh pork and ribs."

Xiang Jin said, "I want to eat cured fish, do you have it?"

Her grandfather said, "Yes, why not? All right, then I will make you a braised cured fish for lunch, and what else? What else do you want to eat?" Her grandfather took a cured fish out of the refrigerator.

Xiang Jin said, "You can look at the other dishes for yourself. You can make whatever dishes you like. I don't care, I don't choose."

Xiang Jin's grandpa nodded, and then asked her grandma, who also let him figure it out, and finally his grandpa took out a bag of ribs to defrost in the kitchen.

When the afternoon was approaching the evening, Xiang Jin and his family were having dinner, and then someone knocked on the door. Xiang Jin put down her chopsticks and went to open the door. The moment she opened the door, she saw a Ouyang Bo smiled at her.

"Xiao Jin?!"

"Hey, why are you here?"

To Jin's side, Ouyang Bo came into the room, "I'm here to make a purchase, so I'll stop by to see you."

"Then it seems that your business is doing well?" Xiang Jin closed the door, and the brother and sister walked in together.

The corners of Ouyang Bo's mouth turned up, his eyes narrowed into a smile, and he looked at Xiang Jin and said, "Thank you! Grandpa?!"

"Well," their grandfather gave him a slight nod, and then ordered, "Go wash your hands and eat, your grandma has gone to the kitchen to get you bowls and chopsticks!"

"Oh, good!"

Ouyang Bo took off his backpack and put it in the living room, then quickly went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

After he had a few mouthfuls of food, their grandfather asked, "What's the situation with your business?"

"Yeah, why are you picking up the goods yourself? Aren't you being delivered by your aunt?" Their grandma also asked.

Ouyang Bo waved his hand, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he explained, "Auntie's pickup truck is too small, it can only pull [-] or [-] catties at a time, which is not enough for me to sell at all." Every day, Uncle Chen Yang has nothing to sell until four or five o'clock in the afternoon."

"Oh, really? Is your business doing well?" Xiang Jin's grandma's act of filling the meal was just a meal, and she suddenly became a little excited.

Ouyang Bo nodded, "Well, it's okay, mainly thanks to the freezer that Xiaojin gave me.

Since we opened a store there, there are frozen watermelons for sale. Many students and people around them have abandoned the normal temperature watermelon and bought our frozen watermelon, so I I want to pull some back at once. "

Xiang Jin asked, "Have you contacted the car yourself?"

Ouyang Bo nodded, "I contacted Li Kai and Mao Dan in our compound for a truck with a load of five tons."

"Are these two boys also selling watermelons?" Xiang Jin and his grandma asked again.

Ouyang Bo said, "Isn't it? They saw that I found a place to sell watermelons and made hundreds of dollars a day, so they became overwhelmed, and then went home and told their parents about their I also wanted to use this summer vacation to sell watermelons to make some money, and then the two of them got some sponsorship from their parents and found a place. Later, they told me to get the goods from our house and asked me to give the price to you. They give it a low price, how can I be the master, let them go to find their aunt.

Later, after they negotiated with the aunt, they said that they would come to pick up the goods tomorrow. I considered that it would take more than two hours to travel from the county to the urban area. If I let my aunt use her pickup every time to deliver , It takes four or five hours to come and go, such a half-day delay is useless, she has so many things to do every day, how can she patronize me?
And her pickup truck can't pull much goods at one time, so I wasted her time, so I made a calculation with the two of them, that is, the two of us should just contact a truck together, and let that The truck driver will go to the melon orchard every two days to pick up the goods. They have two and a half tons, and I have two and a half tons. Save half of the travel expenses. "

Xiang Jin asked, "We consume [-] tons of watermelon every two days, which is [-] catties. Are you sure you can consume [-] catties every day?"

Ouyang Bo said, "We don't just pull watermelons, we also pull some vegetables, which are some rare varieties of vegetables that are not available in the city. These days I have been guarding the shop every day, that is, to some residents around and The teachers at the school said, that is, I will sell some vegetables in the shop later, and let them patronize when the time comes, and they all agreed."

Xiang Jin reminded, "Don't take too many vegetables at the beginning, because a lot of vegetables are left unused in summer, take less, you would rather some customers can't buy you and don't take more, because vegetables It's better to sell those things fresh.

You can get more fruits. For example, in addition to our watermelon, you can also get some melon and cantaloupe. The taste is also very convenient. Watermelon is indeed the best way to quench thirst, but it is inevitable that some people eat it every day. If you eat it for a long time, you will get tired of it. "

Ouyang Bo nodded, "Well, okay, I'll do as you said."

Xiang Jin followed suit and said, "Come here, tell me how much money you have made every day recently?"

Ouyang Bo said, "The money I earned these days after deducting the rent I paid before, there is only more than 200 yuan left, even the money for the freezer and the electric fan you sponsored me I didn’t get it back, so it’s not profitable.”

Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, you earned a year's rent in a few days, and the total of the freezer and fan is only more than 900 yuan, and when you sell it for a few hundred and a thousand catties After that, won’t all the watermelons be paid back? At that time, you will only need to pay the two employees in your store for a month’s wages and a little electricity bill, and the rest will be purely earned by you.”

Ouyang Bo laughed, "This is true!"

Their grandfather asked, "Their two boys and the truck driver are here too?"

Ouyang Bo shook his head, "No, they don't leave until tomorrow morning, I came here early."

Then their grandma laughed and said, "That's just right, I can go to the city with your sister tomorrow."

"Are you going to the melon and fruit field?" Ouyang Bo turned his head to look at Xiang Jin.

Xiang Jin said, "No, I'll go to the bookstore in the county to buy something, and I'll come back after I buy something."

"Oh, I also said that you go to the melon and fruit field and we will go together."

Xiang Jin said, "It's nothing, I won't go, the results of the college entrance examination will be out in two days, and I want to know how many points I got in the exam."

Ouyang Bo said, "Aren't you confident that you can go, so what does it matter if you don't know? Besides, you have filled out all the volunteers, and you can't change anything if you know."

Xiang Jin said, "Yes, I can't change anything, but I still want to know, besides, I want to use this summer vacation to draw out the decoration design of my house. If I really go to Now that I’m in college, I don’t have time to worry about this later.”

Ouyang Bo said, "You don't have to be so nervous and have heavy learning tasks in high school. It's very easy to go to college. Then you will find that you have a lot of time to do other things."

Xiang Jin said, "Who said that? It's your school, right? A good university like that is the same as when you were in high school.

Especially for schools with combined undergraduate and master's programs, the courses are very strict, right?Some schools stipulate that if you fail three courses in one year or four courses in seven years, or fail to pass the re-examination of some courses, you will be diverted to ordinary undergraduates, and it is the kind of demotion diversion, which is equivalent to Seven years of reading was wasted. "

Ouyang Bo was a little speechless when he heard what she said earlier. After all, their school is really not comparable to those key famous universities, just like one day after another, but after hearing Xiang Jin After those words, he said in surprise, "Wait, don't you still want to go to graduate school?"

Xiang Jin nodded with a straight face and said, "Ah, yes, I do still want to study.

It's just that I'm still a little bit tangled, should I choose the combined undergraduate and master's degree or choose another postgraduate entrance examination? "

Their grandparents also looked surprised after hearing what she said, so they looked at each other, but they could see from each other's eyes what they held for their granddaughter. Some of this self-motivated gratification and support.

Ouyang Bo said, "Is there any difference? Aren't they all graduate students?"

Xiang Jin said, "Of course there is. It is said that the gold content of the combined undergraduate and master's degree is higher, but the combined undergraduate and master's degree requires a total of seven years of study, four years for undergraduates, and three years for graduate students. Some schools can graduate half a year or a year earlier. , but that would take six or six and a half years.

However, if you take an undergraduate course and take the postgraduate entrance examination separately, you can complete all the credits during the university period in advance during the undergraduate period. Three years as a graduate student is at most five years, which can save one to one and a half years. "

"Oh, that's it?" Ouyang Bo felt that although he was studying in university, he still didn't know much about university.

"Ah, oops, let's not talk, let's not talk, let's talk about it when we are in college," Xiang Jin said, taking another bite of rice.

Her grandma picked a piece of meat for her and put it in the bowl, "Yes, yes, it's still early. We'll talk about it when we enter university. Let's eat now, eat first?!"

At the same time, at the dining table of Yan Chen and his family in the compound of the provincial capital military region, the family was originally sitting around eating in a friendly manner, but Yan Chen's father, Yan Xiao, suddenly turned to Yan Chen. Said, "You should follow me to apply for the visa to go abroad as soon as possible. I can prepare some materials for you, and some materials must be submitted by you in person. Look at when this is. If you delay it, the time will be delayed." Just missed it."

Yan Chen said without raising his head, "If you miss it, you will miss it. I have already said that I will not study abroad. I will go to university in China."

"Hey, why are you so stubborn, kid? Can domestic universities compare with foreign universities?" Yan Chen's father frowned immediately, and he didn't eat, so he put his chopsticks on the table Put it on the mouth of the bowl.

Yan Chen immediately put down his chopsticks, and stared at him indifferently, "Why can't domestic universities be compared with foreign universities?"

Yan Xiao said, "The teaching quality of domestic universities is not as good as that of foreign countries. You can see that your paintings are so good, with soul and artistic conception. Even the foreigner who often buys your paintings says you are a rare painting. Genius, you just need to continue to study hard in time, maybe you will become the next Van Gogh, Da Vinci and other figures, and you will be famous all over the world, isn't that good?"

The corners of Yan Chen's mouth curled up, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes undisguised, "I never thought I was very talented in painting, and I never thought that I would marry Van Gogh. People like Finch stand shoulder to shoulder. I am just a hobby of painting, and I have not pursued it as a lifelong career. I can’t meet your expectations, and I don’t want to satisfy your vanity, and I Shouldn’t you be clear about why you learned painting in the first place?”

Yan Xiao choked suddenly.

Yan Chen took out a tissue and wiped the corners of his lips, then got up and said to the old man beside him, "Grandpa, I'm done eating, you take it easy!"

"Okay, let's go!" The old man nodded to him, and then responded.

After Yan Chen left the dining room, he turned around and went upstairs.

Seeing his leaving back, Yan Xiao said to his old father with dissatisfaction, "Dad, I haven't even spoken to him yet, why do you let him leave?" ? I'm all doing this for his own good, you see you make trouble for me!"

The old man slapped the chopsticks on the marble dining table with a "snap", "Fuck your mother, you said you were doing it for his own good, but I think you are doing it purely for yourself!"

The old man got angry, and Yan Xiao trembled, "Dad, look at what you said, why am I not for Chenchen? Why am I just for myself? There is only one child like Chenchen in my life, What am I not for him?"

"Hmph, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking, you just think that after you did that bastard thing, you lost your whole face, and then you can't hold your head up in front of your comrades-in-arms. Come on, but you have an excellent son, so you want to use Chen Chen to win a round in front of them, and then let you feel proud!
And what about you, don't think I don't know what's going on in her mind!It's nothing more than that she can't bear children, and I don't recognize her identity, and Chenchen doesn't want to see her, seeing that she is going to be old and ugly, so she is afraid that she will not be able to stand in this family in the future, and then she wants to repeat the old tricks Shi, get her niece from her natal family to entangle my Chenchen, and let her marry into my Yan family in the future.

Hmph, I can tell you not to think about it!As long as I'm alive, she won't be able to step into the door of my Yan family, let alone her niece!There are so many good daughters in the world, what kind of things are the daughters of the Zheng family! "

"No, no way, Dad, you are too malicious to speculate on other people's meaning," Yan Xiao had an unbelievable expression after hearing what his old father said.

Yan Chen's grandfather said, "Malicious speculation? Hmph, am I malicious speculation? I don't know if you deliberately pretend to be confused or stupid? People are doing it so obviously, and you are still calling me malicious speculation.

If she didn't have that intention, would her niece pester Chen Chen every day?And let Chen Chen go abroad to study with her?In those few days, he still followed Chen Chen. "

"No, can't you? Yu Sisi followed Xiaochen?" Yan Xiao suddenly had another expression of disbelief.

"What's impossible? Would the people I arranged for Chen Chen still lie to me?

Yan Xiao, you unfilial bastard, go back and tell her something, if she uses those dirty thoughts and tricks on my precious grandson again, I will never forgive her!
And you too, don't force my grandson to do things he doesn't like to do every day, didn't you hear what he said just now?Why did he learn painting in the first place?
It's because he is young, he wants to remember his mother's appearance!That's why you desperately learn to paint, but you are lucky, you actually want him to satisfy your vanity through painting, and you can show off in front of others when you go out in the future, saying that such and such a great painter is my son!

Yan Xiao, you're a fucking bastard, so what's so good about going abroad?I didn't read many books at the beginning, why didn't I become a leader anyway?

I sent you to read so many books back then, why didn't you just read the books into the dog's belly, and you were caught by such a woman, not to mention losing your own future, and you still made this old face of me It's all gone!
Yan Xiao, tell me, what kind of face-lifting things have you done in your life? "

Yan Xiao lowered his head and said nothing, Yan Chen's grandfather continued, "I am a piece of mud that can't support the wall, what's the matter, you still want to harm my precious grandson?

I can tell you, don't think about it!Lao Tzu's grandson, even if he doesn't go abroad to study, he can still be promising, more promising than you!
It's okay, just get out of here quickly, don't be an eyesore in front of me! "Speaking of which, the old man issued the eviction order with a bad face, and at the same time said to the guard at the door, "You guys, call the guard in the guard room later, it means that without my permission, Yan Xiao will not be allowed to enter in the future Come in the district compound, whoever dares to disobey my order will be punished by military law! "

"Yes!" Several people responded in unison.

Seeing this, Yan Xiao had no choice but to leave!

After Yan Chen's grandfather took a few mouthfuls of food, he immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks, and then turned around and went upstairs.

After going upstairs, he went directly to Yan Chen's room, and then saw Yan Chen reading a book, so he walked over and took the book away from his hand, and then She asked him bluntly, "I heard that you abducted that girl named Xiang Jin to the provincial capital?"

Yan Chen took the book back from his hand, "Grandpa, don't listen to Uncle Tao talking nonsense, what is abduction? I'm an invitation!
Besides, Xiang Jin didn't come here for fun, he came for something important. "

His grandfather looked at him and nodded, "Yes, you are buying a house, oh, you said you are really promising, I don't know how to keep that little girl in our provincial capital for two more days, and I rushed home in a hurry Well, I just want to see what my future granddaughter-in-law is like, but this is still in vain."

Yan Chen said, "I have to go back and fill out the volunteer application. Besides, haven't you seen Xiang Jin's photo before?"

His grandfather said, "That photo is not a living person, so how can it be seen clearly?"

Yan Chen said, "That's no way, why told you to come back so late?"

Immediately, his grandfather sighed, and said, "Oh, when are you going to lure her to the provincial capital again for Grandpa to see?"

"Let's talk about it later," Yan Chen got up, took his pajamas and went directly to the bathroom inside to wash up.

Looking at his slender and tall figure, the old man's eyes overflowed with a doting smile, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Stinky boy!"
