Chapter 308 Another Brother-Supporting Demon
"Gao Cheng, let's go back to the hotel first and then go to your house for dinner later."
"Just make some home-cooked dishes. We haven't been in touch for a long time, so we should just find some time to chat. Don't overcook and waste it!"
From the brief chat just now, Zheng Jingsi knew that Gao Cheng was not having an easy time now.
There are elderly parents and a younger brother who is not married at home.
I was raising a child by myself and the hotel where I worked owed me a year's salary.
No matter who it is, they will be suffocated by the burden of life.
So Zheng Jingsi pulled Gao Cheng aside and repeatedly told him not to spend too much money.
"Okay...ok, I got it. I'll go back first then, see you later!"
"Oh, right, Zheng Jingsi! I changed my phone number a while ago, and I don't have your number saved yet! How about we exchange phone numbers first?"
Gao Cheng took a few steps and turned around and walked towards Zheng Jingsi with his cell phone in hand.
"Okay... I'll tell you the number, and you can enter it and call."
"137xxx..."
Zheng Jingsi slowly told Gao Cheng his cell phone number.
Jiang Duoduo watched quietly from the side without saying a word.
Today they are mainly dealing with some legacy issues of the Star Hotel. With Gao Cheng joining, things become much easier to handle.
Although Jiang Duoduo seems to have lost a quarter of property fees, if the legacy issues of the Star Hotel are not resolved, it will definitely be more disadvantageous to Jiang Duoduo.
"Then let's go!"
Seeing that Jiang Duoduo was waiting for him, Zheng Jingsi didn't bother to chat with Gao Cheng, as he had to go to his house for dinner in the evening anyway.
"Boss Jiang, please come earlier in the evening!"
Gao Cheng smiled and waved to Jiang Duoduo. He really met a noble person today.
Xiao Yang drove back again.
Kong Ligang assigned Xiao Yang a task, which was to be a good driver for Jiang Duoduo and Zheng Jingsi.
Xiao Yang nodded happily.
Being able to get so close to the big boss, he can at least become familiar to the two leaders.
Maybe I can get a promotion and a raise in the future...
Jiang Duoduo didn't refuse. They didn't drive here themselves, and they still had a lot of places to go in the next few days. It would be nice to have someone to pick them up!
……
The afternoon passed in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, it was already past five in the evening.
Night has quietly fallen, and the last trace of sunset glow in the sky is gradually fading away.
Jiang Duoduo and Zheng Jingsi left the hotel and bought some nutritional supplements suitable for the elderly in a nearby store. They also bought some snacks and fruits that both adults and children liked to eat.
They didn't ask Xiao Yang to pick them up in the evening. The two of them just took a taxi in front of the store where they bought fruit.
Gao Cheng's home is in the suburbs of W City, between the city and the countryside.
The houses here are all six or seven-story walk-up buildings.
Ziyang Community.
Room 301, third floor, Building D, a 90-square-meter three-bedroom, one-living room apartment.
Fang Cheng and Du Hongmin were busy in the small kitchen.
They just went to the market together and bought prawns, beef, fish, chicken and so on.
Du Hongmin is a good cook. She used to be a kitchen helper in a food stall. Sometimes when it is busy, she will go up to the kitchen to cook.
So tonight Gao Cheng let her cook and he helped her.
"Who's coming to dinner tonight? You're being so secretive!"
Du Hongmin asked while shaking the pot.
"You'll know when you get here!"
Gao Cheng was processing prawns and fish on the side and replied casually.
"Can't you tell me first? It saves me from guessing!"
This was Du Hongmin's first time cooking at Gao Cheng's house, and she was a little nervous.
Although Gao Cheng’s younger brother is not at home, his parents are at home!
Du Hongmin was afraid that the food she cooked would not taste good and would make Gao Cheng lose face in front of his friends.
So, she really wanted to know who Gao Cheng invited to dinner at home today?
"You've seen it anyway!"
"Let's hurry up, they're already in the car, you'll see them soon!"
Gao Cheng just kept laughing and didn't say who the visitor was.
"Just keep fooling me! I've seen them before. The people I've seen are just your childhood friends. When have you ever taken them so seriously when they came to your house for dinner?"
"Don't you always say that with a plate of peanuts and edamame, you can enjoy a good chat about life?"
As Du Hongmin spoke, she brought a plate of freshly fried and steaming beef with green onions to the table.
Next she will make braised prawns, pickled fish and pork belly chicken.
These are Du Hongmin's specialties. She usually prepares these dishes to entertain guests at home.
"I'm not talking about them! You've already seen them!"
Gao Cheng said this and handed the processed shrimp and fish to Du Hongmin.
"It's not them. Where have I seen your friends before? Just keep making it up! I'm telling you, I'll just make these main dishes, and you can stir-fry the remaining vegetables."
Gao Cheng didn't say anything, and Du Hongmin felt bored asking too much. Anyway, the person would be here soon, and she would be able to see him.
She was just curious, how had she seen it before?
But today Gao Cheng told her that her mother's salary was settled, and the big boss of Futing Building also gave her mother a subsidy of 3000 yuan.
Du Hongmin was in a good mood, so she didn't bother with Gao Cheng about him deceiving her.
"Okay, okay... You, the chef, can just take care of the main dishes. I can still stir-fry a couple of vegetables."
The two were chatting and laughing in the kitchen, while Gao Cheng's parents were listening in the living room with mixed feelings on their faces.
The good news is that the eldest son Gao Cheng has been divorced for four years and now he has met someone he can talk to, so the two old people are naturally happy.
What is worrying is that Du Hongmin has a son. If she really marries with her child, the burden on her son will be even heavier.
They didn’t know who was coming to dinner today, and the two old people hadn’t seen their son so happy in a long time.
It’s just that these vegetables are a bit expensive. The family is in need of money right now, and the marriage of our youngest son Gao Xing has not been decided yet!
The woman wanted to buy a house in the city and asked for a dowry of more than 100,000 yuan. Even if their family took out all their assets, it would only be around 100,000 yuan.
I have to borrow 180,000 yuan from relatives and friends for the betrothal gift! I can’t even afford a house in the city!
Originally, the two old people wanted to renovate the house they had lived in for more than ten years and use it as a wedding house for their youngest son. They and Gao Cheng moved out with the child and rented a house first.
When we have money in the future, our eldest son Gao Cheng can just buy a second-hand house nearby.
But even then, the woman still refused to agree, saying that the house was old and close to the countryside. She didn't want to live there and said she would break up if we didn't buy a house in the city.
The old couple's hair has turned a lot whiter due to worrying about it for a while.
They are old and have no ability to earn money. Their youngest son Gao Xing has only been working for two years and the money he earns is not enough for his own expenses.
All the family expenses have been paid for in the past few years by the eldest son Gao Cheng, and now Gao Cheng is willing to give up the house for his youngest son to get married.
But even so, the woman still doesn't want to! What should I do?
