Father Green

Chapter 177: The daily life of a pair of funny parents and a second-handed son
"So... you really don't intend to inherit the ancestral business?" Under the plane tree, Xia Yu put down the teacup she had finished drinking, and frowned.

While the father and son were drinking tea, Charlotte told his father all about his situation abroad over the years.Including his job hunting after graduation, and later leading Southampton to win the double crown, as well as a mobile phone company that has seen results and a brokerage company that has just started.

There is nothing to hide about your father, Charlotte. The people who give you the most selfless love will always be your parents and family members.What's more, the entire family of the Xia family is relatively harmonious. Although there are one or two rebellious teenagers, they don't do things too out of the ordinary. At least the parents and children are very loving.

Take Charlotte's uncles and aunts for example. Although they seldom move around, almost everyone is not in the same city, and many of them are even in other provinces.But as long as one of them has any problems, the others will always support them with all their strength.Before that, Charlotte's father wanted to move out and turn the ancestral house into a restaurant.But the funds in hand are not enough, so I plan to take out a loan to buy a house in downtown Chengdu.But after several other elders heard about it, they each took out a bank card at the "family meeting" for ancestor worship and reunion at the end of the year.

There is more and less money in the bank card. For example, the second uncle and third aunt who are financially well-off will give more, while the elders such as uncles and fourth uncles who are less financially able will give less.But the total amount has exceeded the funds that the parents need, and even has the money for the decoration of the house.

The business of the restaurant has improved over the years, and the parents have gradually paid off the money of the elders, and there are still a lot of savings.

All in all, apart from moving around a little less, the Xia family is still a family that loves each other, but the painting style of Xia Luo's family is relatively strange.

So Charlotte told all about herself to see if her father, an experienced elder, had any opinions.

Hearing that her father was still a bit wicked and wanted to continue fooling around and persuading herself to inherit the ancestral business, Charlotte became anxious: "Of course it's impossible! Think about it, my cooking skills are good enough for everyday cooking, but if I want to be a professional It’s obviously not qualified for a chef to open a restaurant! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll spoil the style of your family?”

Xia Yu cast a glance at Xia Luo: "Is the word "corruption" used in this way? I don't study much, so don't lie to me!"

Charlotte immediately felt like beeping the dog. She was just speaking in a hurry, so she used the wrong words.But, as a father, shouldn't you educate me with a serious face?Tell me a few tutoring words about being incompetent, is it really appropriate for you to act cute like this?

"Anyway, you understand the general meaning, let's talk about it. How many years will it take for your small shop to earn the money I am currently earning? So why should we throw away the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds?!"

Charlotte's own turnover is still known. Although the business is very good now, the net income of a month is only 80 million yuan.This is because the house is owned by the family, and it is not included in the cost. If it is a rented house, why would it cost more than 20 yuan a month to rent such a large house in this area near Chunxi Road?And it is still such a compelling courtyard house, who can get it without [-] a month?
So if you count the price of the house, it's actually about 50 a month.Of course, this is also related to the Xia family's selection of ingredients. When Xia Yu cooks, the ingredients must be the freshest. This alone is enough to increase the cost by [-]%.

In the few days since Charlotte returned to China, St. Andrews' global sales have increased by more than 2 million pounds.The previous press conference, thanks to the support of Prince William and Princess Kate, completely opened up the brand to a certain degree of popularity around the world, and most of the customers who pre-ordered have already received the goods, and this mobile phone is also highly praised on the Internet. In the end, Anna's network and media public relations were added, so the sales directly rushed up.

Charlotte earned 2000 million pounds in a few days, and at least 20 million pounds after deducting costs and taxes.It would take the Xia family's restaurant [-] years to earn the money these days.

Xia Yu didn't look at her son, but stared at the main gate of the courtyard in a daze: "You don't understand, you don't understand."

Charlotte didn't know the meaning of her father, and thought that her attitude was too firm, so she hurt her father's heart a little bit.

Father didn't speak, and Charlotte didn't know what to say.So he didn't speak at all, picked up the teapot on the stone table and poured tea for his father.

The scorching sun is blocked by the plane trees, and only sparse spots of sunlight shine through the leaves in the shade.Although it is already a bit hot at the end of May, there is a cool breeze here.

"It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree." My father said without thinking.

Charlotte didn't know what it meant, and subconsciously looked up at the sycamore leaves above her head.I don’t know when the impression of this big tree started. It seems that since I was born, under this big tree is my own playground.And I have been used to this tree since I was born, and I have never asked about the origin of this big tree.

"The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade! Our courtyard house will be demolished if it falls to the ground. After all, there are not many old houses in this bustling area," Xia Yu sighed.

Charlotte still doesn't understand, how did she talk about demolition so well?

"Such a big house in such a good location. You will have to pay a lot of money for the demolition, right? Don't do it if you don't have enough money. Demolition of the second generation is still a promising industry these days!" Charlotte said.

Xia Yu smiled, but did not speak.

Charlotte always felt that his father's smile was full of deep meaning, but he didn't understand the specific meaning!
"Okay, since you said that your handicraft is pretty good at making home-cooked meals, then you can cook dinner at home today!" Xia Yu changed the subject.

"Hmm!" Charlotte subconsciously agreed, and immediately reacted: "Huh?? This is unscientific!"

"What I say is science!" Xia Yu slapped Charlotte on the back of the head again.

The father's style of painting has changed too quickly. After being a son for more than 20 years, he still can't react to the other party's transformation.

"Speaking of which, weren't we talking about being a cook just now?" Charlotte rubbed the back of her head, it hurt!

"Stop changing the subject, hurry up and get ready to cook!"

Charlotte: "."

In the end, the parents cooked the dinner, even though Xia Yu had strictly asked Charlotte to cook.The son has been wandering away for many years, and when he returns home as a parent, he naturally wants to cook a table of the child's favorite meals for him. This may be one of the simplest ways for Chinese parents to express their love for their children.

Mapo tofu, pepper preserved eggs, crispy rice cracker, couple's lung slices. They are all my favorites, but... a table of three seems to be unable to finish them all, right?
But that's not the point, Charlotte started to gobble up the food immediately, as if someone was robbing him.Xia Yu and his wife didn't move their chopsticks, they just watched Charlotte eat alone.

After eating half full, I realized that my parents hadn't moved their chopsticks, and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you eat?"

Mrs. Xia froze for a moment, smiled and said, "Eat! Eat!" Then she beckoned her husband to move his chopsticks to eat.

The family of three is happy and happy, the only regret is that it is not the Chinese New Year holiday, but for parents, it is much more important for the wanderers to go home than the Chinese New Year.

Looking at Charlotte's turmoil, Madam Xia sighed: "It must be very hard to see the child hungry abroad, right? You can't even eat well, so why don't you just go back to China to help your dad? It's better than you outside Those who are often hungry are strong."

"Cough cough cough" Xia Yu just ate a piece of boiled fish, and coughed immediately when she heard his wife's words.

"What's wrong? Got caught by a fishbone?" Mrs. Xia quickly patted her husband on the back.

"I'm not coughing, I just got my throat burnt by pepper." Xia Yuxin said how could this little bastard be hungry, didn't you see that in the afternoon, people looked down on our small business, and now they are earning tens of thousands of pounds in minutes , it is estimated that this brat is tired of eating foreign big meals outside, so it is especially delicious to eat home-cooked dishes.

Huh. Wait, this little brat said he made a lot of money?There was a green light in Xia Yu's eyes.

Charlotte didn't see her father's expression, but saw that her father was not caught by a fishbone, so she continued to eat and eat without worry, but her body suddenly shivered subconsciously.

It's strange, why do you feel like you're being watched by something strange?Charlotte shook her head, then ignored it, and continued to enjoy the taste called mother's cooking.

Xia Yu took a sip of water to moisturize herself, and then said to his wife: "That wife, Xiao Luo told me in the afternoon that he is doing well abroad and earning a lot of money!"

Mrs. Xia was taken aback, then turned around and asked Charlotte: "Is that so?" She obviously didn't believe that her son's appearance of being reincarnated from starvation seemed like he had earned a lot of money.

Charlotte has an ominous premonition, but he seldom lies to his parents, because no matter what decision he makes, his parents just provide an elder's advice and generally rarely interfere with his decision.Even if he wants to go to Germany to study and play sports, if he doesn't go. New Oriental learns to be a cook, his parents agree, so he basically doesn't have to lie to his parents since he was a child.

So in the face of his mother's question, despite having a bad feeling, he still nodded honestly.

As a mother, she is naturally aware of her son's character of almost never lying to her husband and wife, so Mrs. Xia was overjoyed: "How much did you earn? Hurry up and give it to Mom, and Mom will save it for you. You will need a lot of money to marry a wife in the future!"

Charlotte: "."

Charlotte glanced at her unscrupulous father, and finally understood where the ominous premonition came from, and the feeling that she was being watched by something strange also made sense.

"Mom, that money did make a lot of money. But I invested it all. You know it's popular among rich people to make money with money, so in order to maximize profits, I used the money to invest, making the money snowball. It gets bigger and bigger." Charlotte described a beautiful future for her mother who didn't have a long-term vision.

"Usury is not allowed, and illegal and criminal things are not allowed!" Mrs. Xia immediately interrupted Charlotte's idea.

Charlotte was very speechless: "Am I that kind of person? You don't understand the child you gave birth to yourself!"

Mrs. Xia nodded: "It's because you were born to your father that I'm worried!"

"Pfft..." Xia Yu on the side directly sprayed out a mouthful of tea.

"I belonged to the Internet and got shot while lying down?" After coughing for a long time, Xia Yu finally choked out this sentence.

Charlotte was also speechless, saying that her mother's technique of cheating her husband has become more and more perfect, and there is no one else.

But hold on, you won’t make me feel better, and I won’t make you happy, Charlotte said to her father very seriously: “No! You don’t know much because you don’t study much! This is called evil comes with evil !"

Xia Yu: "."
