Chapter 505 Our Home

"Okay, okay, who are you looking at with such a droopy face? If I hadn't helped you, would you have added him on WeChat?"

On the way back, Xu Ye saw Wang Manning pouting in the back seat in the rearview mirror, and he cursed her directly.

Wang Manning quickly said, "When did I say I wanted to add him on WeChat?"

"Forget it, he has been sitting next to you for less than two minutes, and your face is as red as a monkey's butt. You usually chatter like a chatterbox, and just now when we were eating, you were like a mute. Just the little tricks in your mind..."

Before Xu Ye finished speaking, his mouth was tightly covered by Wang Manning from behind.

"Shut up, don't say anything more!"

Xu Ye drove back to the hotel, and worked in the company as usual for the next few days, until Thursday, the evening of the 19th, when Qingye Investment held its annual meeting.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye. Qingye Investment has grown from a few people at the beginning to more than 40 people now. Although there are many unfamiliar faces and Xu Ye can't call out their full names, he sees them every day in the company and has long been familiar with them.

This year, the company has taken a big step forward. Not only has it made a lot of money, but its reputation has also expanded. Therefore, at the annual meeting, Xu Ye not only asked Zhang Xinzhou to prepare a very generous lottery event, but also prepared a red envelope of 600 yuan for everyone.

After the annual meeting, the work content of this year is basically declared over. Except for the finance department who needs to work overtime for two more days to get the tax and the salary to be paid next month in advance, everyone else can go home after the annual meeting.

Because there are many things to deal with at the end of the year, Xu Ye packed up the next morning and drove Chen Qingqing and Wang Manning directly to Suzhou.

Second aunt Zhang Ying was waiting at home early in the morning. She would ask Wang Manning when she would arrive every once in a while. When she heard that they were almost at the gate of the community, Zhang Ying immediately brought her husband down from the community building.

"Second aunt, second uncle~"

After the car stopped, Chen Qingqing and Xu Ye got off the car and were led upstairs by Zhang Ying, leaving the second uncle behind to take Wang Manning's luggage.

Second uncle Wang Rui is a middle manager in a software company with a good annual income. Xu Ye remembered that the last time he saw the second uncle, his hair was quite lush. Today, the hair on his forehead has become sparse, as if he is not far from baldness.

"Second aunt, we may have to go back to Jiangzhou tomorrow morning."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhang Ying frowned and said, "It's so hard to come here once, can't you stay a few more days?"

Xu Ye smiled and explained, "My parents and Qingqing's parents have agreed to meet at the end of this year. There is only one week left before the Chinese New Year. I am afraid that I will not be able to make it in time if I go back too late."

"Is that so? Then you have to go back early. Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future. You sit down first, Zixuan, Zixuan."

Wang Zixuan, who is already in junior high school, walked out of the room. When I saw him last summer vacation, he was still a child. This year, he has grown a lot, but he is still a little childish. When he saw Xu Ye and Chen Qingqing, he was still a little shy.

"I'm going to cook, Zixuan, you go and get a glass of water for my cousin and his wife."

Wang Zixuan went obediently.

After a while, two glasses of water were brought.

If it were an older elder, he would ask Wang Zixuan how he did in the final exam. Xu Ye would definitely not ask this. He smiled and took the water and asked, "Zixuan, are you in junior high school?"

"Yeah."

"Are there any girls you like in your class?"

After listening to this, Chen Qingqing patted Xu Ye directly, as if to say: What are you asking?

Wang Zixuan also felt a little ashamed about this question, so he lowered his head and sat aside without answering.

The lunch at noon was very rich. The second aunt and the second uncle were very enthusiastic. When Xu Ye was a child at his grandmother's house, the second aunt had not yet married, and the relationship was actually very close. So although he hadn't been here for a long time, Xu Ye didn't treat himself as an outsider. He had a full meal and swaggered to sleep on the sofa.

When he woke up, the second aunt and the second uncle were out. Chen Qingqing and Wang Manning sat together and whispered, chatting about topics between girls. Wang Zixuan sat on the carpet and played King of Glory with his mobile phone.

"Manning, where's your mom?"

"She went to buy local specialties with my dad. She said she wanted you to bring them back to your aunt and auntie."

Xu Ye yawned, glanced at the time, and saw Wang Zixuan sitting on the ground playing games. He watched with relish for a while. When he was about to go to the high ground, his phone suddenly received several days of QQ messages. Wang Zixuan scolded while playing: "Tao Wanwan, you big idiot, what the hell are you doing sending me messages all day long..."

Wang Zixuan was operating Hou Yi. After finally winning the game, he immediately opened QQ and clicked on the message that Tao Wanwan had just sent.

Tao Wanwan: "Wang Zixuan, what are you doing?"

Tao Wanwan: "Weiwei's birthday is tomorrow, should we go together?"

Tao Wanwan: "Why don't you reply to my message?"

Wang Zixuan: "Are you sick?"

Wang Zixuan: "I don't have time to care about you."

Tao Wanwan: "/grievance (expression), what birthday gift should we give Weiwei for her birthday?"

Wang Zixuan: "I'll just give her a punch."

Wang Zixuan: "Don't send me messages when I'm playing King of Glory."

Tao Wanwan: "Can we play duo together?"

Wang Zixuan: "You big idiot, who would play duo with you."

Wang Zixuan's typing speed is quite fast, and Xu Ye sitting in the back was stunned.

This kid is quite something.

"Wang Zixuan, who is this Tao Wanwan?"

"The beauty of our class."

"Beauty of our class, how can you talk to her like that? Don't you like her?"

"How could I possibly like a useless piece of trash like her? She's not as good as my deskmate, who can lend me homework to copy and gives me snacks every day."

Fuck, the post-2000s now have this kind of awareness?

A role model for my generation!

The second aunt and the second uncle came back when it was almost dark. They bought a lot of things, some of which were local specialties, and some were just gifts. The second aunt thought that Xu Ye had come here with great difficulty, and she couldn't let Xu Ye leave empty-handed, just like every time he went to Jiangzhou, when he came back, whether it was his mother, eldest sister or youngest sister, he would stuff himself with a lot of things.

"Xu Ye, when you return to Jiangzhou, give this to your mother, this to your aunt, and this to your grandmother when you go to the countryside."

Xu Ye pointed to the extra copy and asked, "What about this one?"

"This one is for your mother-in-law."

"Okay."

Chen Qingqing looked at it in surprise, then immediately lowered her head and pretended not to hear.

Neither Xu Ye nor Chen Qingqing stayed in the hotel that night. Chen Qingqing slept with Wang Manning, and Xu Ye occupied Wang Zixuan's room. However, he slept for two or three hours in the afternoon, so he didn't sleep well at night. The next morning, after having a hearty breakfast, Xu Ye and Chen Qingqing set out on the road home...

"Qingqing~"

"Hmm?"

"How about our two families celebrate the New Year together this year?"

"You mean your parents, my parents, and us celebrate the New Year together?"

"Yes."

"Okay, of course."

"Then I'll bring it up when they meet. Your house is bigger, so we'll celebrate it at your house this year."

"What about next year?"

"Next year, our house will be renovated, and we'll celebrate it at our house."

"Our house?"

"Yeah, our house."
