Life is a Game

Although Ji Xia lost a portion of fried chicken tenders and a small roasted sweet potato, she got half a pot of pear soup when she went back at night - Jiang Jianshe couldn't drink it and specially left it for Ji Xia. Bring it up.

When Ji Xia went back for the last time, he hiccupped. As for whether it was a happy hiccup or a sad one, only Ji Xia knew.

Not only because of the good curative effect of the medicine, but also because of the effect of Zhufei Decoction, or because of Jiang Jianshe's proper care. Jiang Weiming has stopped coughing since the 3rd, and his whole body has become much more energetic and his condition has improved greatly. He originally wanted to go back to work with the old man who was forced by his sons to go to the hospital for a complete physical examination, but because everyone was worried, they insisted on pressing him to rest for a few more days.

This also led Jiang Weiming not only to finish watching "Why Women Kill Season 1", but also to finish "White Collar Season 6" which he had not watched all along.

Seven days later, on January 9, the old man's medical report was released.

All the Jiang family members in Beiping carefully studied the old man's report. Although they couldn't understand it, it was enough to study it carefully. Those who are not in Beiping, such as Jiang Ran, Fifth Aunt, etc., need to study carefully through WeChat, and post a sentence of no less than 20 words in the family group that is both professional and concerned, which symbolizes the reader's concern for the old man.

Jiang Feng was lucky, and it was Jiang Jiandang who was studying the old man's medical report with him. Because Jiang Jiandang failed to be an angel in white to save lives and heal the wounded, but only opened a small pharmacy in City Z and received a high amount of compensation for demolition, Jiang's family often ignored the fact that he also studied medicine for many years.

Since Jiang Shoucheng studied medicine, no matter whether he had a doctor's qualification certificate or not, everyone would always ask Jiang Shoucheng first, then Du Niang, and finally go to the hospital to ask the doctor if he had any headaches. No one would. The first thing he thought of was Jiang Jiandang, who had a doctor's qualification certificate. As far as Jiang Feng knew, Jiang Shoucheng's [I don't know a medical student asks a doctor].

It was precisely because of studying the physical examination report with Jiang Jiandang that even though there were 3 pages in the 3.5-page experience report that Jiang Feng could not understand, when he praised the old man's physical condition with all his uncles and aunts, he Can also not fall into the wind.

As an 84-year-old elderly man, Jiang Weiguo's physical condition is quite good. The blood routine and a complete set of electrolytes are all normal. The slightly elevated myocardial enzymes are also a normal phenomenon caused by advanced age.

Jiang Feng took advantage of the end of business at noon to praise the old man's body and did not forget to care about Jiang Weiming's body: "Third Grandpa, it will be the end of the new year soon. Look, your cough is fine, do you want to take some time to go to the physical examination center Have you done a full body check?"

Jiang Weiguo did not express his opinion after hearing Jiang Feng's words, but looked at Jiang Weiming. From his eyes, Jiang Feng could tell that the old man agreed with his ideas.

Originally, everyone wanted the two old men to have a full-body examination together, but it was delayed because Jiang Weiming was not feeling well and it was inconvenient to go out. Now that the old man's physical examination report is out, Jiang Feng feels that what should be put on the agenda must be put on the agenda.

Jiang Weiming didn't answer immediately, and he declined after a long time, "I don't feel sick, and your grandpa hasn't found anything, so don't waste this money."

Jiang Weiguo retorted on the spot: "Third brother, it's a good thing that nothing happened. Anyway, Xiaode is fine recently, just ask him to accompany you to the hospital for a physical examination in two days. He has experience in accompanying me last time."

Jiang Weiming was still a little displeased: "Forget it before the year, and I have to go to Shanghai after the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let's talk about it after the year."

Since Jiang Weiming didn't like it, Jiang Feng couldn't force it. In fact, what Jiang Weiming said was right, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, now go for a physical examination and wait for the report to come out, no one in Jiang's family will be in Beiping, so it's better to wait for the physical examination after the next year.

"Third Grandpa, have you booked your ticket? Do you want me to go to Shanghai with you? It just so happened that I was going to accompany Qiqi back to Sichuan to attend her third cousin's engagement banquet a few years ago. It's okay to run outside and leave a day earlier. " Jiang Feng asked.

"Xiaoyong said he will book the ticket, but I don't know when he will book it. He will pick it up at the station then, Xiaofeng, you don't have to waste time to accompany me there." Jiang Weiming laughed.

"Anyway, Xiaofeng is idle, so let him go with you if you are going outside. Don't worry about the third brother, let Xiaofeng and the others decide." Jiang Weiguo made the final decision.

Seeing that Jiang Feng had nothing to say, Jiang Weiguo sent him to do his own thing, and dragged Jiang Weiming to the teahouse and the old buddies in the teahouse to show off his medical report.

Old people like to show off when they are old. Grandma Jiang can even take the opportunity to show off her grandson after getting a needle in the town hospital. Naturally, the old man can't let go of such an opportunity to show off his health and show off his pride with friends in the teahouse. Person's medical report.

The two old men had just left Taifeng Tower, and Jiang Feng also left. He was going to sit and eat some oden in the convenience store next door. Since New Year's Day, he has been patronizing the convenience store next door every day, insisting on doing business with the boss for ten yuan every day.

At 15:19 on January 9, Jiang Feng entered the store later than usual.

As soon as he stepped into the store, Jiang Feng smelled the familiar aroma of oden cooked from the seasoning package. The owner of the convenience store sat and watched as usual. The scent in the store seemed to be stronger than usual, and it didn't come from one place from.

Jiang Feng sniffed and found that another source of the fragrance was a generally empty booth.

There were only three booths occupied by two, and Jiang Feng knew the two people who occupied the booths - Dong Shi and Ji Xia.

Dong Shi and Ji Xia were sitting on high chairs facing the wall, eating oden together with their heads down.

When did the two of them have such a good relationship, and they secretly came to the convenience store to eat oden without his back.

Jiang Feng thought for a while, it seems that Ji Xia and Dong Shi have communicated a lot since that day when he took Dong Shi and Dong Li to visit Jiang Weiming, but Dong Shi talked a lot with everyone. Jiang Feng never felt that there was anything wrong with it. normal place.

Both Dong Shi and Ji Xia turned their backs to Jiang Feng and didn't notice him. They each held a small paper cup containing Oden and ate happily. Jiang Feng walked quickly behind Ji Xia in three steps in parallel, and silently patted her on the shoulder.

Ji Xia turned his head, still biting a piece of carrot in his mouth, and stayed on the chair.

It looked like a high school student who went to an Internet cafe during the summer vacation and was caught by the head teacher on the spot. Surprise was full of surprise, surprise was full of guilt, and guilt was revealing fear.

It's a pity that Ji Xia's high school students didn't know that Jiang Feng's class teacher also came to the Internet.

Jiang Feng didn't object to Ji Xia eating oden. There's nothing wrong with the little girl occasionally eating oden in winter. Even though it's made from seasoning packets, it's not considered junk food. The most important thing is that he eats it every day.

What Ji Xia wants to do during lunch break is her freedom. Jiang Feng was just a little disappointed. Xia Xia started to have her own small treasury, and instead of asking Master for money for snacks, she ran out to buy them herself.

"You two are quite good at finding a place. The oden here is very delicious." Jiang Feng smiled and walked towards the oden. He originally ate two pieces of his beloved radish.

Seeing that Jiang Feng wasn't angry, Ji Xia immediately felt relieved: "That's right, Master, I didn't know that Brother Xiao Dong brought me here today. This radish is very delicious."

Jiang Feng nodded with a smile, and walked up to the oden.

Boiled eggs, potatoes, kelp, konjac, fish balls, and bamboo wheels are all lying quietly in their own grids, except for the radish compartment which is empty.

Jiang Feng:? ? ?

Where are my radishes? ? ?

Jiang Feng scooped it up with chopsticks in disbelief, and there wasn't even radish residue.

The convenience store owner, who had been obsessed with watching Fan Fan, noticed Jiang Feng's movements and looked up at the iron box where the oden was cooked.

"Ah, the radishes are sold out, it's okay, Jiang Feng, wait and I'll add them now." With that said, the convenience store owner went to help Jiang Feng get the chopped radishes.

"Puff" "Puff"

Snow-white radishes were roughly thrown into the small grid by the convenience store owner.

Jiang Feng: ...

Forget it, let's go talk to the staff.

Jiang Feng walked towards the booth and took a closer look at Ji Xia and Dong Shi's small paper cups. Sure enough, most of the cup was radishes.

"Master, why didn't you buy oden? This radish is very delicious!" Ji Xia strongly recommended.

"Really?" Jiang Feng showed his Jiang family's Oscar's acting skills.

"Really." Ji Xia nodded solemnly, and picked up a piece with a bamboo stick, "If you don't believe Master, you can try it."

Jiang Feng naturally couldn't sit idly by when his apprentice's thoughts were on his lips. He could only hug his apprentice's thoughts with a big mouthful, showing a satisfied expression, and said after chewing: "It really is delicious."

After successfully deceiving a piece of radish, Jiang Feng turned his attention to Dong Shi, showing the expression of a good boss who cares about his employees.

"The trial period ends tomorrow, how do you feel?"

Master Wang's probationary period ended today. He was originally a chef of Lu cuisine, and he adapted well to everything in Taifeng Building, and the employees of Taifeng Building also adapted well to him. If there is no accident, his name will be on the menu tomorrow, and Comrade Wang Xiulian has already set the price of the dishes.

The two brothers Dong Shi and Dong Li extended the trial period by one day because they took a day off to look at the house, and his rented house has also been settled. It is in the community next door to Jiang Feng and the others, and the rent is not cheap.

Because the two brothers Dong Shi and Dong Li are chefs of Subang cuisine, the running-in period is much longer than that of Master Wang. Comrade Wang Xiulian and the two elders have talked with the two brothers. After discussion, everyone agrees that their dishes can be put on the menu after the end of the holiday after the year, which is also a good start for the new year. So during this period of time, the two brothers with good culinary skills had to be wronged to fight with Zhou Shi and Zhang Guanghang to cooperate and make progress together.

"Very good." Dong Shi put down the small paper cup in his hand, turned around and looked at Jiang Feng.

"During this period of time before the year, you had to be wronged to fight with Zhou Shi. You should be able to work normally like them when you come back after the year. Have you booked the ticket to go home during the Chinese New Year? It is not easy to grab tickets during the Spring Festival travel season, it is best to go early Decide." Jiang Feng said with a smile.

"Little boss, the specific holiday time has not been announced yet." Dong Shi said weakly.

Jiang Feng was taken aback: "It hasn't been announced yet? Didn't you say before Xiaonian?"

He always thought he had said this a long time ago, before New Year's Day.

"Little boss, can you find out exactly when the holiday is? Although it is said to be released before Xiaonian, it is only a week away from Xiaonian. We can book tickets when there is a specific time." Dong Shi smiled. asked, expectantly.

After graduating from junior high school, he was looking forward to the holiday for the first time.

"It will definitely be released before Xiaonian. Because the time of the annual meeting has not been set, the specific time has not been determined. You can book tickets according to Xiaonian, and the holiday will not be delayed." Jiang Feng explained.

"Annual meeting?" Ji Xia and Dong Shi said in unison.

"It's the year-end benefits. It shouldn't be as grand as other companies, and there are no performances. It's the last day when you don't go to work, everyone gathers to eat and draw a lottery, so that you can go home happily for the New Year."

The idea of ​​holding the annual meeting was brought up by Fang Mei. Before that, no one in the Jiang family had the concept of the annual meeting, and no one had attended the annual meeting. However, the number of employees in Taifeng Building is so high that it would be useless to not hold the annual meeting, and it would be difficult to know what to do if it were to be held.

Fang Mei's proposal is that it is not necessary to rent a special venue for a very grand annual meeting like other companies. As the company's year-end benefits, the function of the annual meeting is to make the company's employees happier at the end of the year and enjoy the company's benefits In order to serve the company better in the coming year.

In a sense, the extra-long annual leave of Taifeng Building is already the best benefit, so Fang Mei suggested that the annual meeting of Taifeng Building can be held in Taifeng Building like Jiang Weiming’s birthday party last time, with eating, drinking and playing mahjong , and finally got a lottery, everyone is happy.

Comrade Wang Xiulian is now struggling with what prizes should be awarded at the annual meeting.

The Huang's Restaurant had never held an annual meeting before. Years ago, Master Huang or Boss Huang would send a red envelope and say auspicious words, and then go back to each house to celebrate the new year. Dong Shi asked Jiang Feng a lot about the annual meeting because of his curiosity. Jiang Feng was confused if he had never attended the annual meeting or held the annual meeting. He answered Dong Shi's questions in a foolish manner, and Ji Xia gnawed in the middle Carrot listened half-understood.

One really dare to say, two really dare to believe.

After finishing the oden, Dong Shi couldn't wait to say goodbye to Jiang Feng and went to find his brother to show off his newly acquired wrong knowledge about the annual meeting. Only Ji Xia was left sitting on a chair with a small paper cup with only soup left over, thinking about the news he had just heard .

"Master, is Xiaonian number 17?" Ji Xia asked suddenly.

"Yes." Jiang Feng nodded.

If there is any reason for Ji Xia.

After Ji Xia finished drinking the last bit of soup in the small paper cup, Jiang Feng took her out of the convenience store.

Just as Jiang Feng walked out of the convenience store and before he reached the entrance of Taifeng Building, Ji Xia suddenly said, "Master, can I ask for leave on the day of the annual meeting?"

Jiang Feng thought he had heard it wrong. How could Ji Xia miss it at the annual meeting when there is food, drink and lottery draws: "Xia Xia, what did you just say?"

"Can I not go to the annual meeting, I want to go shopping." Ji Xia said.

The outdoor temperature was much lower than the indoor temperature, and the wind not only blew the scent of oden away from Jiang Feng's side, but also woke him up by the way.

Jiang Feng first took Ji Xia into Taifeng Building quickly, and then said: "If Xia Xia wants to go to the street to buy something, master will take you there at noon tomorrow."

Ji Xia shook his head and refused: "No."

"Tomorrow I have no money."

In fact, Ji Xia is rich, and the money she earned from part-time jobs during the months when she ran away from home was hidden in her luggage. But she has other uses for the money, so she can't use it lightly.

Although Ji Xia didn't have a salary, she got a commission for five servings of noodles with fried sauce that she sold with Jiang Feng's crab stuffed orange every day. Although it is not much, there is less than a thousand yuan accumulated in the past few months.

Since Ji Xia was underage and did not have a bank card, it was inconvenient for her salary to be paid. Jiang Feng told Ji Xia a long time ago that her salary would be given to her together with the red envelope at the end of the year.

Jiang Feng had already thought about the amount, 8888 yuan, and the extra would come from his private coffers.

"What does Xia Xia want to buy?" Jiang Feng asked with a smile.

"Roast duck, preserved fruit, tuckahoe cake, donkey rolling, autumn pear paste, crispy candy, donkey rolling, sugar buds, kidney bean rolls, pea yellow, chocolate pie, sesame sauce biscuits, moon cakes, doughnuts, cloth shoes, hairpins..." Ji Xia began to arrange I counted on my fingers, at the beginning it was all food, and after counting, all the things I used for playing came out.

Jiang Feng:? ? ?

Xia Xia is going to buy new year's goods?

"Xia Xia, you can't finish eating on the train with so many things." Jiang Feng smiled. He thought Ji Xia wanted to bring her favorite food on the train to eat.

Ji Xia shook her head: "I want to take it back to my mother-in-law."

"I made an agreement with my mother-in-law when I called her before. When I go back, I will bring her what I like to eat."

"I also told my mother-in-law that when I earn a lot of money, I will buy a house with heating in Beiping and take my mother-in-law over. Then I can buy a new washing machine for my mother-in-law. The washing machine at my mother-in-law's house has long been broken If the mother-in-law has a new washing machine, she won’t have to wash it by hand after each wash.” Ji Xia, who doesn’t know the housing price in Beiping, said.

Regarding Ji Xia's spirit of buying a house in Beiping for a washing machine, Jiang Feng felt that it was worth encouraging, so he nodded and praised: "Xia Xia's mother-in-law will be very happy when she finds out."

"But Xia Xia doesn't need to ask for leave. The annual meeting should take half a day. Your sister Wu and I can accompany you to the streets in the morning to finish shopping for what you want." Jiang Feng smiled.

"Thank you, Master!" Ji Xia said these four words very proficiently now, not only proficiently but also full of true feelings, with sincere feelings and rich expressions.

"Go play your game."

Ji Xia left happily.

Jiang Feng originally wanted to go upstairs to find a private room to play with his mobile phone, but it happened that Wu Minqi came down from upstairs at this time, and seeing Ji Xia's figure so happy that he was bouncing around, he couldn't help laughing.

"What happy event happened to Xia Xia? Did you take her to eat chicken chops just now?" Wu Minqi asked.

"No, she has gained ten catties this winter and must eat less fried food." Jiang Feng denied on the spot, "She wants to buy something for her grandma on the day of the annual meeting. I just promised her that in the morning Let's go with her and attend the annual meeting in the evening."

"The time for the annual meeting has been set?" Wu Minqi hasn't paid attention to these things recently. She has been discussing with Mama Wu about taking Jiang Feng back to attend the third cousin's engagement banquet these days.

As long as everything goes well, the next time Jiang Feng meets with everyone in the Wu family will be at their engagement banquet.

"Not yet, it should be on the 15th or 16th. Isn't your third cousin's engagement banquet scheduled for the 19th? I plan to send the third grandpa to Shanghai before going to Sichuan. You can go first when the time comes. One day later than you." Jiang Feng said.

"Okay, I'll talk to my mother tonight." Wu Minqi nodded with a smile, and decided to discuss a new plan with Wu's mother tonight.

If you go one day late, there will be many changes.

Jiang Feng turned his head, trying to find out where Ji Xia had gone. Many of the things she just said cannot be let go, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to bring them back to Guangdong Province smoothly. He has to remind Ji Xia to let her change the list.

Then he found Ji Xia beside the freezer.

Ji Xia was tiptoeing with a bottle of Coke in his hand, preparing to close the door of the freezer.

"Xia Xia, put the Coke back for me!"

"How many times have I told you not to drink Coke!"
