Chapter 57: Home Cooking (2/2)
A bit silly, but very cute.
The little guy’s face still has some baby fat, a small fleshy face, with clumsy small hands and feet, he doesn't know if the little guy will become an exquisite teenager when they grow up. But the little guy is fine the way he is now, he loves to laugh and his eyes are still warm and full of light.
”To tell you the truth, this is my first time doing business and also my first socializing. My elder brother said that I must come out and get in touch with you guys more, I don’t really know that much when it comes to socializing with others, I have always been too lazy to engage with others, but you are a very nice person, and chatting with you was very enjoyable.” Qiao Zuo gave Xia Ye a high evaluation, with the unique simplicity of the rich, at first glance, he was well protected by his family and had not experienced any storms.
Qiao Zuo was indeed not short of money, but he attaches great importance to the promotion of this game. Apart from other things, just to deal with the plug-in, he set up a security team closed to 40 people.
Qiao Zuo was rich, but he can’t always spend money around. If he fails, he can only go back to Hong Kong City to inherit an office building, and live on dividend shares. Although he would eat a lot of money, that would be really boring.
On the other hand, Xia Ye has never experienced any storms, he was like a sharp blade. What he lands into a brand-new territory. He uses horses and whips and gallops on the battlefield, and has not encountered an enemy in a short period of time.
Song Yi couldn't help but look at him, then took another look at Xia Ye sitting there, and made a comparison in his heart. Seriously speaking, Qiao Zuo was the rich second-generation image in his mind who used money to start a business. Although Xia Ye was young, he looked more mature and stable than Qiao Zuo.
Qiao Zuo ordered a lot of snacks, Xia Ye was not very interested in sweets. Qiao Zuo gave Tang Jinyu a small plate of snacks and teased him: ”Do you want to eat cakes, little brother?”
Tang Jinyu shook his head, Xia Ye asked again in a low voice, and the child touched his stomach, raised his head and said, ”Brother, I'm full.”
When he went out in the morning, Xia Ye fed him a bowl of porridge. The child was not hungry now. Xia Ye knew that he had a small appetite, so he took the plate of pastries and put it next to him, saying to him: ”Tell me when you are hungry, and I will cut one for you, and give you a small piece.”
”Ok!”
Qiao Zuo looked particularly envious. He had an older brother, and he was the youngest. He usually didn't have many friends. The only friend he had was from the Li family who he had a good relationship with had gone to the capital for development, and couldn't get together often.
After chatting for a while and signing the contract, Qiao Zuo felt that the workplace socialization was almost over. He took the business card handed over by Song Yi and gave him a phone number to contact Qiao’s branch, ”I came out in a hurry today, and didn't bring my business card. You can just go to report my name, and I already told Xu to help you with anything else you need, and will try to cooperate as best as he can.”
Song Yi agreed with a smile, and his expression showed his excitement.
After handling the official business, Xia Ye planned to take Tang Jinyu away, but Song Yi caught up to him, and asked, ”Xia Ye, you haven’t visited our office since you have arrived, would like to go see it right now? I can make a few arrangements at noon, there are some restaurants around here that are good and worth trying.”
The child in Xia Ye's arms probed and looked at Song Yi for a long time, not afraid of him.
Xia Ye thought for a while and said, ”Next time, there are other things that I have to do today, you have worked hard here in Qizhou, I will give you a red envelope at the end of the year.”
Song Yi responded with a smile and sent them outside.
Chen Suling had assigned a driver for them, seeing Xia Ye and the others came out, the driver immediately pulled up beside them.
Before getting into the car, Xia Ye turned around and said to Song Yi: ”By the way, in a few days, I will make a payment from the company account and buy a car, so that it will be convenient for you to go to Qiao's.” And in the future, this business will not be limited to this one, Qiao's game promotion is like a live advertisement, just in case Song Yi would run away later.
Song Yi was taken aback, nodded quickly, and said with a smile: ”Okay, then I would like to thank the boss for being compassionate.”
Tang Jinyu waved his hand to say goodbye, and when he was about to call out ‘Uncle’, Xia Ye covered his mouth and said, “ Just call brother”
The child honestly called out brother, Song Yiren couldn't help but nod in response, ”Xiaoyu you should come and play again when he is free, brother will give you a snack next time.”
After getting in the car, Tang Jinyu was still looking out the window. Xia Ye thought that this was strange: ”Weren’t you afraid of strangers yesterday? Why weren’t you afraid today?” It stands to reason that Old Ape was much more friendly than Song Yi.
Tang Jinyu was also surprised, ”I seem to have met that elder brother.”
Xia Ye rubbed his head, ”Nonsense, this is the first time you’ve seen him.”
Tang Jinyu glanced back, and felt that Song Yi just now gave him a kind of intimacy. Some scenes flashed by, he seemed to be giving awards at school, but they were blurred and he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Xia Ye tried to hold back, but he still pinched his face and turned around, not allowing him to look again. There was no one he had to compete for the position of being the little guy's elder brother before. He always felt that his position was stable, but now that the little guy was interested in Song Yi, Xia Ye was not happy anymore, ”Who’s better, him or me?”
”……all good?”
After being squeezed, Tang Jinyu immediately hugged Xia Ye's arm and changed his answer: ”Yeah, brother! Brother is the best!”
Xia Ye asked him to say it three more times before letting go.
Tang Jinyu had already fulfilled his wish of drinking ice-cola, and was not curious after not being able to play at the playground at all. At noon, Xia Ye took him to Tang Elder's house for dinner.
The three of them made the food on the table, and they were very happy. Tang Jinyu moved a small bench and sat there carefully peeling the beans. After peeling them, he severed them to Grandpa Tang. Grandpa Tamd took a spoon and served tofu stewed with shrimp and soybean, was smooth and tender, and was suitable for children to eat. In addition, he cooked two home cooked dishes, which were specially served with rice. Tang Jinyu ate a small bowl of rice, but Xia Ye's bowl of rice was larger, and he ate three bowls of rice.
The food was delicious, and they even improved Grandpa Tang's appetite.
After eating, Xia Ye went to wash the dishes. He was familiar with this job, and he kept doing this at home, which was much better than cooking.
After the meal, Grandpa Tang was used to watching the noon news for thirty minutes, but since his little grandson came today, he couldn’t pay attention to the news, so he took a picture book and said to the child: ”Xiaoyu, grandpa will tell you a story, and help you to fall asleep?”
”Grandpa, I can fall asleep without listening to stories at noon.”
”Hey, who doesn’t like to listen to stories? Come here, grandpa tells you a story about a crow drinking water.”
The old man opened the book happily and read it carefully to him wearing reading glasses.
Tang Jinyu: ”…”
It seems that the old people in this world like to tell this story. When he was at his grandma's house, his grandma would also like to read this to him, for fear that he would not remember it, so she read the story over and again several times.
In his grandfather’s home in Qizhou City, Tang Jinyu once again felt the fear of hearing the ‘crow is thirsty’ again. After listening to it, he tried to pretend to sleep with his eyes closed, but in the end he ended up sleeping for real after a few minutes.
Grandpa Tang lowered his voice, closed the picture book, covered the child with a thin blanket, and walked out lightly.
Xia Ye just rushed with the milk powder, and when he came over, the old man made a shoo gesture and whispered: ”He’s asleep, put it aside first, he can drink it once he wakes up.”
Xia Ye nodded and took it to the living room and put it on the coffee table. Grandpa Tang followed him and couldn't help but boast when he arrived in the living room: ”He’s so good, he fell asleep at once when I read him a story.”
Xia Ye felt that this was a bit strange, but once he looked down at the book in the old man's hand, he immediately understood.
