Chapter 404 Xia Chutang, let’s go set off fireworks together?
Before Li Xun could answer, Zhuang Jianfei said, "He suspects it's the Li family."
Zhuang Chengyu's face turned gloomy.
He clasped his hands, pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, then pushed the envelope on the table back in front of Li Xun.
"Sorry, I can't help you with this."
"Uncle Zhuang, you are my father's best friend!"
"Li Xun, I'm sorry."
Zhuang Chengyu's attitude was very firm: "I have to consider my family. If it were anyone else, I would definitely be happy to help. But I don't want to mess with this person."
Li Xun glanced in the direction of the kitchen, picked up the envelope on the table and put it in his pocket: "Okay, I understand."
Neither of them got into too much entanglement, and the topic stopped there.
Zhuang Jianfei sighed secretly and said, "Li Xun, let's have a drink together later."
"Okay, Grandpa Zhuang." Li Xun nodded in agreement.
At around six o'clock in the evening, the kitchen door opened, and the servants began to bring out the dishes one after another.
Eight cold dishes were served first, all of which are common dishes in the north.
For example, cold beef, Yan Sansi, red oil tofu, etc...
Then, the hot dishes were served one by one, including steamed sea bass, braised prawns, spicy stir-fried flower crabs, boiled snail meat...
It specializes in a mixture of northern and southern cuisines, with rich dishes.
Zhuang Jianfei sat in the main seat, and the others sat on both sides.
Looking at the delicious and delicious dishes, Hu Qian was very satisfied and praised the servants who helped: "Thank you for your hard work tonight."
With that said, he took out the red envelope that he had prepared long ago.
The servant said nothing and said, "Madam, these dishes tonight are all made by Miss Xia. We just helped cut the side dishes."
Another servant echoed: "Yes, we really didn't do much work tonight. We all watched Miss Xia do it alone."
Hu Qian looked at the table of dishes in disbelief, "You mean, Tangtang made these all by herself?"
Several servants nodded together and confirmed this.
"Sister Zhang, Sister Wang, Sister Cui, just keep the red envelopes my grandma gave you."
Xia Chutang came out of the kitchen and took off her apron: "Today is the Chinese New Year. Our family would be very grateful if you could stay and help!"
Hu Qian came back to her senses after hearing her granddaughter's words. She stood up and put the red envelopes into the hands of several people one by one: "Tangtang is right, thank you for your hard work today."
Several servants who helped took red envelopes and thanked them profusely.
Xia Chutang continued: "When we were cooking just now, I specially prepared a portion for you all, both hot and cold dishes. You can take it back and eat it."
"Miss Xia... thank you." Sister Cui took the bag containing the food, her eyes red with emotion.
Every New Year's Eve, she would go to other people's homes to help cook New Year's Eve dinner.
But this year is the first time I received a "gift" prepared by my employer.
This attention and concern filled several people's hearts with gratitude and warmth.
Before leaving, several servants thanked him again.
I wish the banker good luck in the new year and promise to come and help on the third day of the lunar new year.
When closing the door, Hu Qian took Xia Chutang's hand and praised: "Tangtang, you did a good job in this matter."
For a company like the banker, the public's reputation is very important.
Especially these servants who often help in the compound.
Winning over the hearts and minds of such people is very necessary for the banker.
Xia Chutang understood what Hu Qian meant and smiled: "Grandma, can you praise me again after you eat the food I cooked!?"
"Okay, okay! I will definitely praise you!" Hu Qian gently scratched Xia Chutang's beautiful nose.
In just half a month, Hu Qian has gone from being wary and observing Xia Chutang to loving her from the bottom of her heart.
Every parent likes well-behaved children with sweet mouths and hard-working hands and feet.
After the family sat down, Zhuang Jianfei first raised his glass and gave a speech.
Then Zhuang Chengyu began to say New Year blessings one by one.
When it was Li Xun's turn, he raised his glass and smiled lightly: "Then I wish Grandpa Zhuang and Uncle Zhuang that your family will get everything they want in the New Year."
Everyone: "..."
There seems to be nothing wrong with this, but it just sounds weird.
The joy on Zhuang Chengyu's face obviously dropped by more than half.
"Li Xun, don't you have any wishes for the New Year?" Xia Chutang asked, looking at the man directly opposite with a half-smile.
Li Xun's tone was somewhat sad: "I hope that my parents and my brother's spirits in heaven will bless me and I can find their murderer in the New Year."
Everyone was stunned again when they heard this.
Xia Chutang finally figured out that this guy stayed for the New Year's Eve dinner just to cause trouble for their family.
"Oh. Then I wish you all your wishes will come true." Xia Chutang said perfunctorily.
It's really unlucky to talk about killing people during the Chinese New Year.
"Grandma, let me turn on the TV!" Xia Chutang changed the subject directly.
Hu Qian nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, turn on the TV to make it more lively."
Xia Chutang changed the TV channel to "Beijing TV Station".
Every year, Beijing TV Station’s Spring Festival Gala program is the most important “New Year’s Eve dinner” in China.
As long as there is a TV at home, they will turn it on and watch it.
Xia Chutang turned on the TV and happened to hear an advertisement from Xihai Food Factory: "Mom won't worry about me eating anymore..."
"Oops, why is Xihai Food Factory mentioned on TV? Isn't that our factory?"
Aunt Zhao was the first to get excited when she heard the sound of the advertisement: "Our food factory is on TV!"
Hu Qian was about to explain when she saw Xia Chutang shaking his head at her.
"My mother-in-law, this Xihai Food Factory is the factory where you are a consultant, right?" Hu Qian asked with a smile.
Aunt Zhao nodded repeatedly and praised: "That's right. Oh, I didn't expect Director Zhao to be so powerful that he could put our factory's advertisement on the Beijing TV station. Now our food factory has become famous."
"Mom, now you are famous!"
Li Hui pointed to the 'Old Lady's Spicy Kohlrabi' package on the TV, "This is your picture on it."
"Ouch! My mother-in-law, you have become a big star!" Hu Qian joked.
Aunt Zhao wanted to take a closer look, but unfortunately the advertisement was gone.
"What should we do?" Aunt Zhao asked at a loss.
Zhuang Chengyu said with relief: "Mom, this is a good thing. You have become a celebrity. Let the food factory pay you more wages later."
"Right? Tangtang?"
"That's right! Let Zhao Changping give you more bonus."
Xia Chutang immediately responded with a guilty conscience, making Zhuang Chengyu and Hu Qian, who knew the truth, suppress their laughter.
Seeing the whole family enjoying themselves, the loneliness on Li Xun's face became more obvious. He turned the wine glass in his hand and drank it all in one gulp.
Dad, Mom, eldest brother, second brother, I will definitely make the Li family pay for their debt with blood, and I will also make the accomplices, the Song family, pay the price!
However, he now wants to confirm whether this young girl can become his ally?
Feeling a line of sight falling on herself, Xia Chutang turned her eyes to the opposite side.
"Aunt Tangtang, let's go set off fireworks in the yard, okay?"
Tang Xin reached out and tugged at the corner of Xia Chutang's clothes, her big eyes shining with anticipation: "Please! Come with me!"
Before Xia Chutang could answer, Li Xun stood up and said, "Xia Chutang, let's go set off fireworks together?"
