Chapter 166 Greenhouse (2)
Song Cenyue had just invited the Zhang family into the house to sit down and made them some tea when she heard a knock on the door.
"I'll go see who it is. I wonder if it's Xiaolu and the others, or if they're here to get rice from me." Song Cenyue said to the Zhang family and walked towards the door of the main hall.
Her rice milling business is pretty good. People come to her to mill rice every day. Because everyone has to work during the day, most people who come to her to mill rice come at noon or in the evening.
Song Cenyue came to the gate and opened it, only to find that it was not the people who were beating rice, but another group of guests she had invited.
"Cen Yue, congratulations on your new home!" He Xiaolu took out a red envelope and gave it to Song Cen Yue when she saw her. "I don't know what to buy for you, so I gave you a small red envelope."
"Me too! Little educated youth Song, congratulations on moving into your new house. I wish you all the best and may you get whatever you want." Yu Jiahui was the second person to congratulate Song Cenyue. He also took out a red envelope and gave it to Song Cenyue.
The few educated youth invited by Song Cenyue came together. Xu Xiaopeng, Meng Jiang and Su Dawei immediately took out red envelopes and handed them to Song Cenyue to congratulate her.
"Thank you, you are so polite. It's enough for you to come here, why give me a red envelope? You should take the red envelope back quickly. I am already very happy and grateful that you can come and play and warm the house for me. There is no need for any red envelope." Song Cenyue did not accept the red envelope, but waved her hand to refuse.
I know He Xiaolu's financial situation best, so how can I accept her red envelope? It's enough that she has this intention!
But she came here with Yu Jiahui and the others. It would not be possible to refuse to accept the red envelope from only her. Yu Jiahui and the others would think it would be not good for her to discriminate against others. So she could only refuse to accept the red envelopes from everyone else. Anyway, she didn't need any of them and didn't need these red envelopes.
"Mr. Song, don't be so polite. This is a gift from us. You have to accept it." Xu Xiaopeng said as he stuffed the red envelope into Song Cenyue's pocket.
Others also nodded in agreement with Xu Xiaopeng and forced the red envelope into Song Cenyue's hands, refusing to let her accept it, including He Xiaolu.
Seeing that they were giving the gifts sincerely, Song Cenyue had no choice but to accept it. The red envelopes were forced upon her. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to accept it, but she would have to give them something else later, and she also had to give He Xiaolu a red envelope.
"Okay, I'll accept it, thank you. Come in quickly, you haven't seen my new house yet, I'll show you around." Song Cenyue showed a beautiful smile, invited a group of educated youth into the gate, and showed them around her new house.
"Cen Yue, your house is so beautiful! Although it's not very big, it's well designed and has everything. It must be very comfortable to live in." He Xiaolu praised, her face full of envy.
It would be nice if she could have a house like this, but she could only imagine it because she didn't have enough money to build one.
She was extremely poor. Although she was very frugal, there were still some things she had to spend money on, like this time when she came to warm up Cen Yue's house. She heard that the male educated youth had to give red envelopes to Cen Yue, so she felt that she had to give one as well, otherwise it would not work. After all, everyone else had given red envelopes, so she could only grit her teeth and give out 66 cents.
Sixty-six cents may not be a lot for others, but for me, it is a lot of money.
Fortunately, Cen Yue was very clear about her financial situation and understood her difficulties, so she would not be angry or think it was too little if he only gave her 66 cents.
"Xiao Song Zhiqing, your house is really nice. It will be very comfortable to live in!"
"Xiao Song, the more I look at your house, the better it looks!"
"Yeah! Me too..."
The male educated youth also praised Song Cenyue's house.
"I heard that your new house has been built, and it looks very nice." Song Cenyue smiled at the male educated youth.
After the team leader hired a bricklayer to help him build his house, he went to help Yu Jiahui and others build theirs. Their house was much bigger than his own, but it was also completed in the past two days. The doors and windows were also installed, and after whitewashing, they could be moved in after a period of drying.
"This is all thanks to the team leader. Thank you for introducing us to good craftsmen and for helping us supervise the progress of building the house." Yu Jiahui said with a smile. "Thank you, team leader!" He thanked Zhang Shengjin who was sitting next to him.
They are all in the main room now.
"Thank you, Captain. Building the house is really thanks to your help!"
"Captain, I really don't know how to thank you!"
The other male educated youth also looked at Zhang Shengjin and thanked him.
"You're welcome. Since I've taken your money, I naturally have to be responsible and build your house." Zhang Shengjin waved his hand and smiled.
"Don't stand there, please sit down. I'll go make tea for you." Song Cenyue invited He Xiaolu, Yu Jiahui and other educated youth to sit down. The chairs and benches in her house were not enough to seat so many people, but she had thought about it before, so she borrowed some chairs and benches from the Zhang family. Now there is enough space for the guests to sit.
After He Xiaolu and the others sat down, Song Cenyue said she would go to the kitchen to see how the chicken was stewing. She had already cooked the rice and stewed a chicken.
"Oh, there's chicken too. We're in for a treat today." Su Dawei said with a smile.
"Yeah!" The others nodded and smiled.
"Cen Yue, how is your cooking going? Is the chicken just missing, or are there other dishes? Auntie will help you make them." Dong Jinhua said enthusiastically. "I am not used to eating ready-made food, I just like to cook. Your uncle even laughed at me for being a hard worker!"
"There are still several dishes that haven't been cooked!" said Song Cenyue.
Since she was going to invite so many people and cook a greenhouse, she wanted to make a sumptuous meal and prepared twenty dishes. She had only prepared four dishes, all cold dishes, including cold cucumber salad, cold kelp salad, a mouth-watering chicken and a cold shredded cabbage salad. She hadn't made any stir-fried or deep-fried dishes yet.
