The next day.
Early in the morning, Chen Xi went straight to the bank with Niannian using the excuse of going out to buy something.
When he left yesterday, Ning Qiutong gave him a card with a hundred thousand yuan on it. It was his reward.
In fact, Ning Qiutong wanted to give him a million yuan as a reward, but Chen Xi insisted on only taking a hundred thousand.
After all, he had already said that he only wanted a hundred thousand, so he naturally wouldn't take more.
Chen Xi was a man of his word. Although he said that he wouldn't save Ning Zhongguo, he still saved Ning Zhongguo in the end …
It wasn't that Chen Xi didn't have principles. The reason why he helped was mainly because Ning Qiutong asked him for help as a daughter.
This really moved Chen Xi.
After all, he was also a father. For Niannian's sake, Chen Xi chose to forgive Ning Qiutong.
And after he and Ning Qiutong buried the hatchet, the two things that he asked the Ning family for help with were tacitly agreed by both parties — — favors.
Chen Xi asked himself if he had the chance to return this favor in the future, and the Ning family thought that Chen Xi had the ability to return this favor.
Therefore, both parties tacitly considered treating Ning Zhongguo's treatment as a pure transaction.
Favors could be returned slowly, but the reward had to be settled on the spot.
In the bank.
Chen Xi originally planned to apply for another bank card, deposit fifty thousand yuan, and then give the card directly to Aunt Zhang.
But the teller regretfully told Chen Xi that everyone could only apply for one card at each bank.
Therefore, Chen Xi had to take out sixty thousand yuan in cash, leave ten thousand for his daily expenses, and give the rest to Aunt Zhang.
After returning home, Aunt Zhang was wondering why Chen Xi didn't go to work at ten o 'clock.
Thus, Chen Xi spoke her thoughts at the right time.
"Aunt Zhang, I got in touch with an old classmate yesterday. He borrowed a hundred thousand yuan from me when he started his business, so now he's returning it to me with interest. Here's fifty thousand, take it first … "
Looking at the thick stack of cash in Chen Xi's hands, Aunt Zhang was shocked.
She quickly pushed Chen Xi's hand away and said anxiously, "What are you talking about? You have so much money, why don't you just put it in the bank and show it off? I don't need that much money. Quickly save it back and don't lose it! "
When he was withdrawing the money, Chen Xi had already guessed Aunt Zhang's reaction. He also knew that the difficulty of handing the money to Aunt Zhang was no less than a fierce battle, so he immediately tried to reason with Aunt Zhang.
To be honest, this kind of behavior because of money made Chen Xi feel very awkward, but he had to do it.
After all, Aunt Zhang had done a lot for Chen Xi's family over the years without asking for anything in return.
If he wanted to give Auntie Zhang money now, Auntie Zhang would definitely not accept it.
One side wanted to give, while the other side refused. Naturally, there would be a lot of pushing and giving.
After more than ten minutes of pushing and giving, no matter what Auntie Zhang said, she still couldn't persuade Chen Xi.
In the end, even the little girl heard the noise and ran in, shouting for grandma to accept the money. Aunt Zhang had no choice but to accept the fifty thousand yuan and said helplessly, "Well, leave the fifty thousand yuan with me first. When you need money, just let me know."
"Okay, Auntie Zhang, don't worry. I still have fifty thousand yuan here, don't worry. Since I'm back, I will naturally support this family and give Niannian a relatively good environment to grow up in. "
"That's good, that's good …"
Auntie Zhang held the thick stack of money and felt a little emotional.
After Auntie Zhang took the money back into the house, Chen Xi turned on the TV and put the little girl on the sofa to watch cartoons.
He followed her to her room and said to her, "Oh right, Auntie Zhang, I quit the job …"
Hearing this, Auntie Zhang was shocked and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you doing well? I also think that it suits you. Why did you quit just like that? "
"It's like this … Didn't you tell me some time ago that you would be going home to take care of your granddaughter after the New Year? So I thought that I still have fifty thousand yuan left, right? Then I might as well start a small business. It's easier to take care of the child this way … "
Speaking of this, Chen Xi looked at Auntie Zhang with some worry and quickly explained, "I'm not chasing you away. I just think that you haven't been home much for Niannian all these years, so your family must have some opinions … You've done too much for me and Yingying. Since I'm back, I shouldn't continue to owe you. I have to find a way to slowly repay your kindness …"
Hearing this, Auntie Zhang couldn't help but sigh and said worriedly, "Yes, I haven't been home for a long time. My granddaughter is more than a year old, and my son calls me every day, insisting that I go back to help them take care of the child …"
"Then you should go back. I'll bring the child to visit you often in the future."
After hearing Chen Xi's words, Auntie Zhang nodded, but immediately shook her head and said, "I'm just a little worried …"
She looked at Chen Xi and said earnestly, "Chen Xi, you're not young anymore. You're a man. You can't be cooped up at home every day to take care of the child, right? How could this be allowed to go out? Yingying is really too much. You've been gone for five years, and if she's gone, I'll probably be gone for five years too. How can parents be like you two? "
Chen Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Auntie Zhang thought about it and continued, "Then how about this, I'll stay for a few more days. In these few days, you'll be in charge of buying groceries, cooking, and washing clothes. Just treat it as a pre-job inspection, so I won't have to worry."
"Okay! I'll show you my cooking skills later. "
…
The light rain slanted, and the wind blew in the morning chill. The light smoke was scattered, and the willows were beautiful on the clear beach.
Entering the clear waters of the Huai River, the clear waters were slow.
Snowy foam floats in the noon cup, and polygonum wormwood shoots are tested in the spring plate.
The taste of the human world is clear joy.
…
Lunch was cooked by Chen Xi. She cooked three side dishes and a tomato egg soup.
To be honest, it was very ordinary, at least far worse than Auntie Zhang's.
However, it was the first time for the little fellow to eat the food cooked by PaPa. She held her small bowl, waved her small spoon, and shouted, "PaPa's food is delicious."
As she spoke, she also ate several mouthfuls of egg soup rice in succession, which really gave Chen Xi face.
However, Chen Xi was a little dissatisfied with his cooking skills, which didn't meet his expectations at all.
But after thinking about it, it was still acceptable.
After all, he hadn't cooked for hundreds of years, so he was really a little rusty. Now he could make something neither salty nor bland, which was actually very good …
After lunch, Auntie Zhang finally didn't stop Chen Xi from entering the kitchen this time. Instead, she held the little fellow and happily watched TV.
Chen Xi took the bowls and chopsticks back to the kitchen, wiped the table with a towel, and then washed the dishes, scrubbed the pots, and wiped the stove.
After cleaning up the kitchen, he had to wipe the table and windows, sweep the floor, and throw the little fellow's dirty clothes into the washing machine. Some clothes were stained with too much oil, so he could only wash them slowly with soap.
After everything was done, it was almost three o 'clock in the afternoon.
Auntie Zhang was going to take a nap, so Chen Xi forced the TV off in the little fellow's reluctant cries, and then coaxed her to recite a book.
What was life?
This was life.
A bachelor could throw the takeout box into the garbage bag after eating, and when the garbage bag outside the door was piled up to a certain extent, he could throw it all into the trash can.
The room could only be cleaned once every half a month, and the bed sheets could only be changed once a month or even three months.
This was also a kind of life, but it was not a father's life.
A child was not a toy. He could move, run, and think.
Was Chen Xi really short of money?
Even if Auntie Zhang left, how much could he spend to hire a nanny?
Money could solve many problems, but there was no way to buy a really good growth environment for the child.
Since Yingying was not here, then he had to take on the role of a father and a mother at the same time.
He had to do his duty and let his daughter grow up happily.
This was the only requirement Chen Xi had for himself now.
