Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng were stunned.
Xiao Sheng said, “That’s not appropriate Aren’t you staying in the military district with your brother? It’s probably not convenient.”
It was very troublesome for outsiders to enter the military district’s neighborhood. If there was no resident to bring them in, the guard would call the other party first to inform them. After confirming that the other party had agreed to see them, he would personally send them to the door of the other party’s house.
Firstly, it was to prevent any communication mistakes. Secondly, most of the people living there were soldiers and family members of those with military positions, so they had to be cautious.
Zeng Li waved his hand nonchalantly. “My brother asked me to call you guys. It’s fine. Come with me. I’ll get the chauffeur to pack some food for these two little fellows and send it over later.”
They even thought of Xiao Li and Xiao Lin’s dinner. When Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng heard this, they couldn’t refuse anymore. After getting into the car, Yu Bing suddenly remembered that she couldn’t go to someone else’s house empty-handed during the new year.
Yu Bing said to Zeng Li, “Drive back to our place first. I’ll get something first.”
Zeng Li knew that Yu Bing must have prepared gifts. “My family has everything. Just take some random things. There’s no need to be so formal.”
Yu Bing smiled and said, “We don’t have any expensive goods, so we can only express our sincerity with some things we made ourselves.”
When Zeng Li thought of Yu Bings culinary skills, he replied with a smile, “It’s only delicious if you cook it yourself! The key is that it has to pass through your hands. Just don’t let it pass through Xiao Shengs.”
Xiao Shengs expression darkened and he felt helpless. His lack of culinary skills was his biggest shortcoming.
After returning to the rented house, Yu Bing took a bag of dried sweet potatoes.
She ate the dried sweet potatoes as snacks when she was bored. Now, they happened to come in handy. She also took the spicy beef sauce. Everyone was accommodating to Xiao Li’ s light diet now, so these two jars could be given away. Then, she went to the supply company to buy some fruits and pastries.
As Yu Bing sat in the car, she looked through the packed gifts. “Unfortunately, our goods haven’t been sold here yet. I wonder if these pastries are delicious.”
Zeng Li had taken a portion of the goods from Xiao Sheng now, so he naturally knew the situation. “The taste isn’t bad, but the price here is much higher than your factory’s!”
Yu Bing nodded. “Then it seems that with the additional transportation tee, we still have an advantage.”
Yu Bing began to think about business again.
The group quickly arrived at the Zeng family’s house.
The houses in the military neighborhood had two specifications, which were a single-family buildings and a tube-shaped buildings.
Zeng Wei was assigned to a three-story building and there was a small courtyard at the entrance. They planted flowers on one side and veggies on the other.
Zeng Li led Xiao Sheng and Yu Bing into the house. “I’m back.”
Zeng Rou’s two children were playing inside. When they saw their uncle return, they ran forward, but when they saw the two unfamiliar guests, they greeted them politely first.
Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng took out red packets and handed them over.
Zeng Li smiled and introduced, “These are my sister’s two sons, Big Fatty and Little Fatty.”
Zeng Wei was watching the news on the television in the living room. There was no remote control in this era, so he had to press it manually to change it.
When Zeng Wei saw that the guests had arrived, he stood up and went forward to lower the volume so that it didn’t affect their conversation.
Zeng Li brought the two of them into the living room and said, “This is my brother, Zeng Wei! Brother, this is my good buddy, Xiao Sheng. This is Yu Bing.
When Yu Bing saw Zeng Wei, she could barely maintain her composure. She knew that Zeng Li’s family background was extraordinary, but she didn’t expect his brother to be Zeng Wei, who would appear at important news conferences in the country in the future.
Yu Bing swallowed nervously as she greeted, “Happy New Year, Mr. Zeng.”
Zeng Wei smiled and nodded in response. He looked very amiable, but he was intimidating as well.
Zeng Wei pointed at the sofa beside him as he called out to the two of them, “Please sit.”
Zeng Rou and Lin Xue brought honey water and a plate of cut fruits from the kitchen.
Zeng Li introduced them again.
When Lin Xue saw Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng sitting together like a couple, she couldn’t help but think of her brother-in-law’s marriage. She smiled and said, “You two look really compatible together, unlike Zeng Li. He’s already 22 years old but still doesn’t have a girlfriend.”
After Lin Xue finished speaking, she looked at Zeng Li, who didn’t want to get married, and she felt a little vexed. “Look at them. They have company during the new year.. Don’t you feel lonely?”
