In the yard, the decorations for the birthday party had been done, but it had to wait until noon to start. By the way, lunch was changed to cake and barbecue! Therefore, Yang Yi accompanied Lanzhou Kai, Nan Yiyun, and other parents to sit under the temporary shelter that had just been set up. They drank tea and chatted while enjoying the shade.
Originally, Yang Yi was going to prepare snacks and fruits, as well as the barbecue ingredients that everyone would eat together at noon, but Wu Yue, Yu Ying, and the other mothers were very enthusiastic and wanted to take over these kitchen chores. Even Mo Fei also went to the kitchen to help. As for these "men", they were "driven" out and left in the yard to chat.
With the two gods of wealth, Lanzhou Kai and Yang Yi, the content of the men's conversation was naturally in the direction of financial management.
It was worth mentioning that last year, Chen Guoqiang, Nan Yiyun, and others also consulted Lanzhou Kai's opinion and boldly bought real estate in Wuhu District. Since the beginning of this year, Wuhu District had begun to renovate old houses. Although it was not their turn to receive demolition compensation, the housing prices in Wuhu District had begun to rise. Those who had already bought houses, like Chen Guoqiang and Nan Yiyun, were happy to see that they had "earned" a sum of money.
Like Yu Ying, after earning her royalties last year, she also began to invest in real estate under the tips of everyone's conversations. Her assets had also improved. Of course, for Yu Ying, her "Little Bubba's Adventure" had been arranged by Sahara Publishing House to be made into a picture book, an audiobook, and even an animation adaptation. The income in the later stage was flowing into her. Therefore, Yu Ying did not care about the little appreciation of real estate.
But for ordinary families like Nan Yiyun, Chen Guoqiang, Yang Guo, and others, the income from the appreciation of real estate was real joy!
Now that they had the opportunity to chat with Lanzhou Kai again, they naturally looked forward to getting some money-making news from Lanzhou Kai. Perhaps the news that was not very eye-catching in the eyes of the rich was great for them!
Lanzhou Kai naturally understood what these parents were thinking, but his EQ was very high. He was always smiling and skillfully evading their questions. He was always able to talk about things that he shouldn't talk about, but he wasn't stingy with what he could talk about. He was very measured and didn't leave any traces as he revealed some information that could make them money.
In contrast, Yang Yi's social skills were somewhat weak. After all, this was an ability that could only be honed through years of accumulation, and it had a lot to do with one's personality. Therefore, even though he had tried very hard to integrate into the world of ordinary people, Yang Yi still couldn't handle these situations.
Fortunately, he was smart. He talked and laughed, but most of the time, he agreed with Lanzhou Kai. He rarely got involved in these topics.
…
The ones who saved Yang Yi were his favorite, the innocent and naive children!
He didn't know how Chen Shiyun and the others convinced Xi Xi. Anyway, a large group of children, including Xi Xi, swarmed out of the door and ran noisily in front of Yang Yi.
Lanxin, on the other hand, was dutiful. She held Xiao Tianyu's hand and walked slowly behind them.
Interestingly, although Lan Xin fell behind because of Tong Tong, the one who was anxious to catch up with her sisters was Tong Tong. The one who didn't want to run too fast was Lan Xin.
The weather was so hot, why did they run so fast?
"Uncle Yang, Uncle Yang!" Chen Shiyun was the most enthusiastic. She ran over and grabbed the arm of Yang Yi's beach chair. She asked excitedly, "Can we, can we swim in your swimming pool?"
Yang Yi was a little surprised and asked, "You want to swim?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The children around Yang Yi nodded excitedly.
Lu Weisha's reaction was a little slow because she had to wait for Xi Xi to translate for her. Lu Weisha, who finally understood the children's thoughts, waved her arms happily and said in English, "Swim, I like to swim!"
"What, what?" At this time, several members of the mother group, including Wu Yue, Murphy, Yu Ying, and the others, came over with trays. Seeing the lively scene, they asked curiously.
When they found out that the children wanted to swim, Wu Yue and Yu Ying quickly waved their hands and said, "No, no! We didn't bring a change of clothes or a swimsuit. How can we play in the water? "
They were right. The children didn't think it through.
However, this kind of rejection was still a little hard for the children to accept. Chen Shiyun and Yang Luoqi pouted and said unhappily, "We want to swim!"
Seeing this, Yang Yi quickly got up from the beach chair and pressed on their shoulders. He smiled and comforted them, "It's okay. Today is a little sudden. How about this, next time you come to play, bring your swimsuits. Uncle will open the swimming pool for you to play in, okay?"
Yang Yi's words were obviously much more persuasive than their parents' scolding. Although they still looked unwilling, at least they just pouted unhappily and shook their buttocks reluctantly. They didn't continue to be stubborn with their mother.
"Come and eat the honeydew, watermelon, mango, and cherries. They've all been cut and washed." Murphy also smiled and greeted the children.
At this moment, Lan Xin, who was standing at the back, walked to the front while holding Tong Tong's hand. She originally wanted to 'return' Tong Tong to Father Yang, but when she heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.
Lan Xin couldn't care less about Tong Tong, this' little burden '. She held Tong Tong's hand and didn't care that the other children were still sulking. She and Tong Tong moved forward silently.
They couldn't make a big fuss. There were so many people here. If they wanted to eat good food, they would have to fight for it!
Then, she let go of Tong Tong's hand and picked up a piece of honeydew from the table.
Lan Xin took a bite first. When she lowered her head, she saw Tong Tong's eager little eyes.
That's right! There's still my little brother!
Lan Xin then freed one hand and picked up another piece of cantaloupe from the plate. However, Lan Xin noticed that the kernels on the new piece of honeydew were not removed.
But she didn't have a free hand. What should she do?
It's okay. Lan Xin had her ways. She took the piece of honeydew that she had already taken a bite of and scratched the new piece of honeydew. The kernels were removed in an instant.
"Here, this is for you!" Lan Xin handed the cantaloupe that she had prepared to Little Momo. As she spoke, she couldn't wait to take another bite of her own cantaloupe. "Mmm, it's so sweet and cool. It's delicious!"
Tong Tong's mouth watered when he saw Lan Xin's intoxicated expression. He held the honeydew clumsily and imitated Lan Xin's actions by taking a small bite of the honeydew.
"It's sweet, right?" Lan Xin didn't forget to look at Tong Tong when she was satisfied with the honeydew.
Tong Tong couldn't be bothered to speak. He could only raise his head and move his mouth. His eyes were so sweet that they were squinting as he giggled.
It's better to eat good food with Sister Xin Er!
But at this time, Mo Fei also turned around and saw it. She smiled grumpily and said, "Xin Er! Tsk! You didn't wash your hands before eating! "
"I brought a wet tissue. We can just wipe our hands," Yu Ying said hurriedly.
Xi Xi and her friends were a little depressed because they couldn't swim. However, perhaps because of Lan Xin's influence, they wiped their hands with the help of their mothers. They let go of their gloomy feelings and went to eat the fruits.
Lan Zhou Kai sat at the side and ate the watermelon with a smile. Suddenly, he remembered something and said with a smile, "Oh yeah, didn't you say that you like to swim? Recently, our company is sponsoring the Municipal Sports Commission to organize a swimming competition for children above the age of six and below the age of twelve. There are different age groups, boys and girls. It's a big competition, and there are many people who signed up. The deadline for registration is the 20th or 25th of this month. If you are interested, you can participate. "
"Swimming competition? It's organized in the city? Will there be many children who specialize in swimming participate? "Wu Yue was interested and asked curiously.
Lan Zhou Kai said happily, "Yes, it's organized in the city. I'm not sure about the specific requirements for registration. I'll ask someone later and send it to you. But isn't the country promoting national fitness and daily exercise? The city is also organizing some sports. Since it's summer now, there are football, basketball, etc. There are all kinds of competitions. But I feel that the swimming competition is better. At least it's not easy to get injured. Also, the venue and referees for this competition are very proper. It's safe. "
Lan Zhou Kai hadn't actually signed Lan Xin up. He had even forgotten about it before. He only remembered it now. After all, Boss Lan had a lot of things to do. His subordinates reported this matter to him and he signed the sponsorship fee. Then, he threw it to the back of his mind.
