A real man must dare to face the bleak life!
After Lin Jingzhe pitted his brothers, he soon encountered backlash.
The little red car was pulled over to be repaired. Fang Wenhao drove a big jeep that he didn't know where it came from.
The fifteen-minute road stopped suddenly seven times, and Lin Jingzhe lost his temper. He just grabbed his seat belt and listened to him quietly.
"Why doesn't he believe it!" Hu Shaofeng pointed out several meanings during the dinner appointment. One is that Fang Wenhao and Yuqi Real Estate must have a relationship, and the second is that Yu Yuzhi's desire to take that inconspicuous piece of land must have deep meaning. These two speculations are nonsense, but no matter how Fang Wenhao tried his best to explain, Hu Shaofengdou would not believe it.
"Are you saying that Hu Shaofeng is stupid? Why should I lie to him about this? I didn't agree with you about the fact that you are staring at No. 9, and exchanged some shit."
He originally didn't want to go to this meal about cooperation, but Hu Shaofeng moved out of Xiao Chi and said that this game was saved by Xiao Chi, Fang Wenhao couldn't help but give this face.
Lin Jingzhe was almost vomited by his enthusiastic driving skills, and rolled down the car window with a blue face: "Don't you always want to cheat him, wouldn't it be better not to be optimistic about No. 9?"
Fang Wenhao was stunned when he heard the words, turned his head and glanced at him, his expression seemed to be moved by this suggestion for a moment, but he immediately dismissed it with a firm face: "No, I have to use Yang Conspiracy to get him upright."
******
Xiao's house, Hu Shaofeng was already waiting in the living room downstairs when Xiao Chi went downstairs, talking to Grandma Xiao.
This small building is filled with a heavy and deep breath, and the people living in it also have their own auras. Hu Shaofeng is not afraid to fight the sky, and the most frightening thing is here, except for his father's stick, the silver-haired Xiao family. Grandma's voice was soft and soft, with a smile on her face, but Bao Xiang was so solemn and upright that he was almost out of breath.
Before entering the house, he sprayed a pound of lemonade on his body and rinsed his mouth three times. Now he is sitting on the sofa with his legs together and his back straight, listening to Grandma Xiao greeting him with a strong smile.
Sitting on the sofa on the other side of him is a little girl, the same age as a flower, with slightly naturally curly long hair combed behind her head, wearing a goose-yellow dress, with beautiful eyebrows and good posture, just like temperament He was too calm, his brows were still slightly frowned, and he seemed very indifferent, and he couldn't see any emotion.
She was reclining on the sofa and reading a thick book. The cover of the book was in contrasting shades of pink and blue. This book should have a brisk style, but this girl frowned, but her eyes were extremely sharp, which made people suspicious. This is probably a deeply dark documentary literature.
She paid no attention to anyone, her slender fingers occasionally turned a page, and Hu Shaofeng peeked over there when answering Grandma Xiao's words, only to see words that were full of incomprehensible content.
This is an original book.
The occasional sound of flipping the book made Hu Shaofeng restless and painful, but he didn't dare to talk to the only young girl of his age in the room.
This girl with the same temperament as his brother Xiao is Xiao Miao, the sister of Xiao Chi. This is the only girl among the younger generations of the Xiao family. She is the apple of the entire family. She was sent to study abroad many years ago. It is said that she performed very well abroad. When Hu Shaofeng was around ten years old, he had a crush on her and had daydreams such as kissing and kissing Brother Xiao, whom he respected. But as he grew older and grew up, Hu Shaofeng began to be more and more afraid of her.
Xiao Miao is notorious for being indifferent and arrogant, and it fits the setting of the Xiao family outside. The wonderful sense of stability and majesty lingering on the thin body of this young girl is strangely not inconsistent, so from childhood to adulthood, Her image among her peers is extraordinarily tall and inhumane, and she is an unattainable goddess in the eyes of many young men in the same circle.
The goddess's perception is very keen, Hu Shaofeng glanced at it twice, and her sharp eyes moved away from the book, and shot sharply.
Then, in Hu Shaofeng's frozen expression, she closed the tome on her lap with a snap, and the broken hair curled on her temples, stood up expressionlessly: "I'll go upstairs."
Angry!
Hu Shaofeng scolded himself for being cheap, but he didn't dare to keep his mouth open. Grandma Xiao Baoxiang nodded solemnly: "Go, let your brother hurry up."
Turning back to the topic and talking about Hu Shaofeng: "... Last time Wen Hao said that you are always skipping class... "
what! ! ! !
Hu Shaofeng can't wait to teleport away from here at this moment, he wants to die! ! ! !
Xiao Miao's expression changed instantly after climbing the stairs, she carefully turned over the book to examine the cover for a while, Xiao Chi appeared above the stairs, her eyes fell on the page she showed, Xiao Miao immediately wanted to hide but was caught by him , Xiao Chi taught in a low voice, "You read this kind of book again!"
Xiao Miao hid the book behind her back. She wanted to escape but was afraid of having outsiders at home. Seeing his brother approaching from the top of the stairs step by step, she wanted to cry a little: "You don't care what book I read!"
Relying on his height, Xiao Chi grabbed the tome with one hand on her head and the other with a slight probing. He opened it and looked at it a few times. As expected, the content was messy, preventing Xiao Miao from wanting to take it back and waving it randomly. his arm, he said solemnly: "Is it good or bad, is this what you put in four or five suitcases when you return to China?"
Xiao Miao kicked and beat him angrily: "You give it back to me!"
"Confiscated!"
"give me back!"
"Then I'll give them an interpreter downstairs."
"no!!!"
The two were worried that there were outsiders downstairs, and the movement was very small. Xiao Miao, who was playing yin, was no match for his brother. Seeing that he couldn't get the book back, Xiao Chi really tried to go downstairs to read it, and he was so frightened immediately. Fu Ruan: "Take it, take it, take it..."
Xiao Chi turned around and went upstairs, letting his sister Pidianpidian follow behind him. After entering the room, he went straight to the bookcase, and put the Japanese book that he hadn't received in a vacancy in the bookcase.
Xiao Miao's heart-piercing eyes fell on the spine of the almost brand-new comic book in a nearby grid. Xiao Chi taught her: "After so many years of going abroad, learn the good and not the bad!"
Xiao Miao stared at his broad back with hatred, and suddenly her eyes were sharp.
She tiptoed her hand into the collar of Xiao Chi's coat, and quickly grabbed a tag that she forgot to cut: "Oh~~~"
Xiao Chi looked back at her calmly.
Xiao Miao's face was weird, and she looked sideways to squint at his expression, but found that her brother was really superior, and she really did not show her emotions, she said a little unwillingly: "New clothes?"
"Well." Xiao Chi asked her why she was making a fuss with his eyes, "Help me cut it."
"I won't help you!" Seeing that the probe could not find any information, Xiao Miao had to let go of her hand unwillingly, and folded her arms to watch her brother calmly undress and cut the tag, she squinted and knocked on the side, "This knitted sweater is tt's new autumn and winter style, there are no counters in China, when did you buy it? The last time you went abroad to see a doctor? You were so anxious that you even forgot to remove the tag?
Xiao Chi was unmoved, her phoenix eyes narrowed, and she swept the eldest brother, who was one and a half heads taller than her, from head to toe, and the more she looked, the more wrong she felt.
"Blind, you still wear shoes? Are these patterns and coats in the same series?! Have you done hairstyles too?" Xiao Miao almost threw out her stomach with bad water, so she asked negatively, "Say! Is there something wrong? Now, look for a girl outside, so coquettish."
After cutting the tag, Xiao Chi put the cardigan back on his body as usual, and glanced at her lightly: "I'm going to talk about work, what are you thinking about. If you don't read these crooked books, your mind will be stupid."
"Fuck!" Xiao Miao was so angry that she was about to fight when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her and stopped abruptly.
Hu Shaofeng finally found a chance to get rid of Grandma Xiao's problem. After going upstairs, he rushed to Xiao Chi's study with a sad face: "Brother Xiao, how are you, can we go—"
The word ? hadn't come out yet, and when he saw the people in the room, he suddenly put away his dangling temperament and stood upright.
In the study, the brothers and sisters of the Xiao family stood quietly opposite each other. It seemed that some serious issue had been discussed just now. Xiao Miao stood upright, exuding a cold temperament, and looked back at him quietly.
Xiao Chi said: "Okay." Then he walked out with Xiao Miao one after the other.
The three stood at the stairs, Xiao Chi locked the door of the study, and gently said to Xiao Miao, "Go back to the room early to rest."
"Well." Xiao Miao nodded slightly, the slender swan neck pointed an elegant arc, her voice was soft and sweet, "Brother be careful on the road, drink less wine and go home early."
The two sides looked at each other, both of them were calm and steady, but they smiled slightly when they parted!
The curvature of the corners of the mouth is particularly obvious!
A pair of siblings who take care of each other at the textbook level!
God owes me a sister!
Hu Shaofeng burst into tears and envied the winner in life who was cared and loved in every possible way by the unattainable goddess around him! Xiao Chi swallowed after stepping out of the house, Xiao Miao really became more and more thief, this is not good!
Before he went out today, he matched more than ten pieces of the most suitable gray striped cardigan in front of the full-length mirror, raised his hand and wrapped a handful of curly sideburns that had been carefully fixed twice with half of the hairspray, and said calmly: "Go on. car."
*****
The car flicked into the parking space, and Lin Jingzhe took a long time to endure the dizziness after getting out of the car.
Fang Wenhao couldn't help himself, he vomited while holding on to the railing, shirking responsibility while vomiting: "What a rotten car!"
The largest restaurant in Yan City, Songhe Pavilion on the top floor, in a private room of at least 100 square meters, Fang Wenhao drank several glasses of ice water with a pale face, and Hu Shaofeng ordered another bowl of appetizing and sour soup for him. , while giving him a scoop, he persuaded bitterly, "Can we be a little more honest?"
Fang Wenhao had already vomited into a salted fish, and he lost half of his life after being questioned: "I really don't have any inside information!"
Hu Shaofeng gently placed the soup bowl in front of him, approached him, and threatened with a serious face: "Brother Xiao doesn't give you face? You will stare at No. 9 without any inside information? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Fang Wenhao wanted to cry but had no tears, but fortunately Lin Jingzhe rescued him at this time: "It has nothing to do with Fang Ge since the real estate, I asked him to help me run the license."
His voice fell, and along with the concentrated gaze from the room, Xiao Chi, who had been pulling his rosary and looking detached from the outside world since he entered the room, finally glanced over.
Lin Jingzhe looked at him and said, "I want to take the No. 9 land too."
I don't know if it was an illusion or not. The face of the other party was obviously expressionless, but Lin Jingzhe felt that "I'm angry" was written all over his face.
Lin Jingzhe was directly attacked by this emotion, and it was very inexplicable, but today he came to talk about work and find a partner, so naturally he should abandon all personal emotions.
Hu Shaofeng's mouth is very cheap, and he can't talk to anyone with a tone of 26: "What do you want to do in that place where birds don't shit? How about reclaiming wasteland and farming? It's too small."
Lin Jingzhe smiled slightly: "Because he is too small, so I used it as a target. The estimated price of this land is only 6.5 million, don't you think it is very cheap?"
Hu Shaofeng had never heard of such a bizarre reason, and immediately decided that Lin Jingzhe was just making a fool of himself. Thinking of his previous versions of speculation and thinking, and even chilling behind it, the real reason turned out to be so nonsensical.
But before he could open his mouth, there was a somewhat unexpected echo from the first seat: "It's quite cheap."
When Hu Shaofeng was full of things he wanted to say, he stopped immediately. When talking about business outside, Xiao Chi usually just sat there and rarely spoke, but every time he opened his mouth, he basically had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that Fang Wenhao's soup was almost finished, he simply waited and scooped another spoonful.
Lin Jingzhe saw the disapproval on Hu Shaofeng's face, but he didn't care either. The other party's way of thinking is just the same as that of many normal businessmen, and the land No. 9 that Lin Jingzhe is about to take down, to be honest, the conditions are really not very good.
First it is biased.
Yan City has a square urban construction, with four corners of east, west, north and south, and the southeast is the most developed. Universities, commercial streets, bus routes and even the subway are all around this area. This is the most expensive place in Yan City.
The development of the two places in the northwest was similar, but in the past few years, many factories have been relocated and settled in the west, and the gathering of foreigners has gradually made the place more lively.
This is only the north side. There used to be a lot of farmland there. In recent years, there have been fewer people farming the land. With the Second Middle Road as the boundary, it is drawn across. This is a corner where you can't feel the atmosphere of Yan City at all. Five or six years ago, there was news that the government would definitely rectify and rectify. A few years ago, a few people were taken advantage of to buy land and build a few real estate. Now Before the house was built, the developer was already crying without tears.
Land No. 9 is just inside No. 2 Middle Road, surrounded by a row of old houses, with no life. It’s not so remote, it’s still small. Compared with the No. 1 and No. 2 sites that are now very popular in the bidding fair, the area of No. 9 is only one-third of their size, and the whole still presents a very strange polygon. In the construction of commercial housing, the utilization rate of bare ground is not a small problem.
Therefore, this piece of stuff that is not as good as chicken ribs topped the list of the most inexistent plots in this tender. When several joint real estate developers in Yan City met for this quarter's tender, they all thought it didn't exist. From the analysis on the 1st to the 8th, the discussion was almost completed.
Hu Shaofeng is very sorry, real estate is really not everyone can play around. Looking at Lin Jingzhe's resolute and bold approach when the market opened, he thought he was such a powerful young man, but he still showed his timidity when he moved. Nice house, who would you sell it to?
Therefore, the prophet is always lonely, and only Lin Jingzhe knows what kind of rapid development Beicheng will enter in the next few years. In the future, countless companies from all over the country will choose to build their headquarters here, and the population of Yan City will also enter a crazy growth. The most important business development center, this special status will not be shaken until decades later.
It is not easy to make up nonsense without confidence, but the aftermath is simple. In later generations, there have been countless real estate businessmen who missed the development of the North District and reluctantly recalled the advantages that were easily overlooked before the development of this area. Lin Jingzhe talked eloquently about the development situation, and almost described the area that no one cared about as a pearl buried in the eye of a fish.
At first, Xiao Chi just listened casually. He paid more attention to the light-colored lips that Lin Jingzhe collided with, but as the topic deepened, he gradually figured out some content that he had ignored before.
The city of Yan five or six years ago is no longer the same as the city of Yan today. The development of the city is faster than his unconservative estimate. Just like the rapid opening of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the domestic market is almost The financial industry without foundation has been brewing for a long time in this country, and every policy introduction will cause earth-shattering shocks.
Xiao Chi has heard of the Yan City expansion plan that can be confirmed in all likelihood. In the last year alone, Yan City has announced three roads that will be built in the future. The number is more than the previous five years combined. many.
The pace of the city's external expansion is already ready to move, so what about the urban areas that have not been fully utilized before this?
The North District is now just a barren open space, which seems to have no advantages, but it is only because there are few people. As long as Yan City issues a policy at random, such as... Gather the scattered commercial offices in the urban area there...
This is simply a game of chess that can be turned over easily!
Xiao Chi plucked the rosary and fell into deep thought. It was not that he had not had similar thoughts before, but it was not until Lin Jingzhe put this possible future on the table that he suddenly realized that the land under his feet seemed to be unhurried. The pace of development has clearly exceeded his expectations.
He broke free from the slight shock, without revealing the slightest bit on his face, he just quietly sat upright on the body that was subconsciously close to Lin Jingzhe.
From the moment we met today, Xiao Chi has deliberately been very indifferent! The elbow that Lin Jingzhe was abducted last time made his stomach still green, and he had to make Lin Jingzhe realize his anger!
As he thought about it, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the lips that collided with Lin Jingzhe when he spoke. These lips were a little thin and light in color, just a little pink. Xiao Chi thought about it, it is said that people with this color of lips have problems such as low blood sugar, and recalling the previous confrontations, Lin Jingzhe's hands and face seem to be really cool, only the neck and lips are hot inside hot.
Xiao Chi smacked his mouth and suddenly realized something: "...???"
No, that's not the point!
He coughed heavily, and Lin Jingzhe stopped, thinking he had something to say, looked away from the map, and landed on him in doubt, because the words were not finished, and his lips were still slightly open.
Showing the tip of the red tongue and a small row of upper teeth!
what! His front teeth are a bit long!
Xiao Chi seemed to have discovered a new continent, and suddenly became energetic, and carefully looked at almost every eyebrow of Lin Jingzhe.
Big eyes, pointed chin, slightly round cheeks, thin little stature and pale lips and front teeth!
Hu Shaofeng is right, he really looks like a rabbit!
Xiao Chi moved his body: "Cough, you continue."
Lin Jingzhe lowered his head again and continued talking, Xiao Chi stared at his long eyelashes and praised him in his heart - so cute!
He calmly turned the jujube paste brown sugar cake that had just served to Lin Jingzhe, and asked, "What you said is a bit interesting, but since you are so optimistic about the development of the North District, in addition to the No. 9 land, there are also No. 5 and Land 7, why don't you target them?"
Lin Jingzhe likes to eat red dates, and his stomach is a little hungry after motion sickness. When he sees a piece of brown sugar cake, he eats it slowly. Hearing this, he is very frank: "I don't have any money. 10,000 square meters, I want to take it, but after all, it is too unrealistic."
Xiao Chi was fascinated by the way he was chewing red date cake. When Lin Jingzhe was eating, he was slow, and his chewing movements were not too slow. He closed his lips tightly, only the movement of his cheeks on both sides. He was gentle and quiet, and he could not hear a single sound.
Xiao Chi came back to his senses, Lin Jingzhe had already mentioned the cooperation regulations: "Now I have at least one-third of the funds in my hands, and there is only one partner missing from the start of the project. Mr. Xiao, I can at least have this land. Holding it in my hand for a year, with the current growth rate of the property market in Yan City, even if the future I just mentioned cannot be realized, the land will never depreciate too much. Wait and see the market, as long as there is a change, I will take action immediately, no matter what, I can guarantee that your investment will not be wasted."
There seems to be a lot of content that I didn't hear just now? Xiao Chi raised Erlang's legs under the table without any signs of being in a daze, and plucked the rosary with his thumb: "Even so, that's five million dollars, if what you said is just empty words. , I will take a few pieces of land at random for the five million funds, and I am afraid the return will be greater than the cooperation with you."
The business world is like this. For this reason, it is meaningless to fight for every inch of land. Lin Jingzhe didn't force it, he just smiled calmly: "But if my prediction can be confirmed, this return will be better than your investment. Other programs are far more lucrative, it’s almost a risk-free gamble, and it’s up to you to decide whether you want to participate or not.”
He really needs this capital urgently, and it is best if he can get it for investment. If he can't get it, he can get it by taking other risks and taking risks, but the risk is much greater than this.
After eating a small plate of brown sugar cake, Lin Jingzhe got up and said, "Excuse me, I'll go wash my hands."
Fang Wenhao, who was obviously stunned from the moment he started talking, glanced at Hu Shaofeng's look at Xiao Chi, and found an excuse to get up and follow him out.
Inside the room, Xiao Chi sat upright, turned the turntable, and curiously picked up a piece of brown sugar cake and tasted it.
It was obviously an ordinary brown sugar cake, but because Lin Jingzhe ate it very seriously just now, it seemed that it was really fragrant.
Hu Shaofeng was already caught in the future that Lin Jingzhe was looking forward to. He held back for a long time before he had the opportunity to express his opinions freely. Almost as soon as Fang Wenhao left the house, he rushed to Lin Jingzhe's seat and looked down at the pair that was just caught by Lin Jingzhe. A map of Yan City used for gestures.
"Brother Xiao." He overthrew his previous convictions with a little self-doubt, "Why do I think he's making sense?"
Xiao Chi squinted at him and said nothing. After waiting for a while, he stood up: "I'll go out."
Hu Shaofeng thought hard about the business opportunities that Lin Jingzhe described to the North District, and stared blankly as Xiao Chi picked up the sweater hanging on the back of the seat and put it on his elbow. Is this going to the bathroom? Why go to the bathroom to get a coat?
When Xiao Chi went to the bathroom, he bumped into Fang Wenhao who was smoking outside the door. When he saw him, Fang Wenhao immediately stood up straight and took off the cigarette from his mouth, looked left and right, and ran to the trash can to put it out.
He turned his head to signal the other side to avoid him, Xiao Chi watched him walk away before opening the door, Lin Jingzhe was standing on the edge of the urinal and was pulling the zipper.
He glanced at it subconsciously, and was immediately discovered by Lin Jingzhe. Lin Jingzhe cast a vigilant look, but since everyone was talking about business today, he was obviously more polite to Xiao Chi than before: "Mr. Xiao is looking for me?"
Xiao Chi leaned against the door and stared at him to wash his hands. He didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly said, "Didn't you realize that I'm very unhappy today?"
"???" Lin Jingzhe accepted this accusation inexplicably, "What?"
Xiao Chi couldn't believe that he didn't realize it, his eyes swept across his empty wrist and asked, "Where are my beads?"
Lin Jingzhe became more and more surprised, what is this all about? He took out the string of rosary beads from his trouser pocket that he had been tossing for several days: "Here it is."
Xiao Chi stretched out his hand and took it back with a bad expression. His expression was different from that in the box, and his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled!
Today is for business, for business, for business, for business...
Lin Jingzhe meditated a hundred times in his heart, forgiving the other party's behavior, and a fake smirk appeared on his face: "I can finally rest assured."
Xiao Chi didn't say anything, and looked down at the string of beads. Lin Jingzhe couldn't understand this person's brain circuit at all, so he simply ignored him, took out a few pieces of paper to wipe his hands, and looked at the mirror after wiping them. Has your appearance been damaged by eating cake just now?
A heavy breath suddenly enveloped him. Before he could react, Xiao Chi in the mirror quickly approached. Lin Jingzhe met his sharp gaze, his heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to turn around, the other party suddenly stretched out his hands Passing over the top of his head, he held the string of beads that he just returned and tucked it into his neck like a few days ago.
Lin Jingzhe kept wiping his hands: "...???"
Xiao Chi poked his face and left.
Lin Jingzhe looked at his back in astonishment: "???"
******
There was no news for more than a day after the dinner, Lin Jingzhe remembered how Xiao Chi was bitter and bitter when facing him, and felt that the cooperation thing was probably yellow. , Counting the time, Zhou's parents should have already arrived in Yan City.
He called Zhou Haitang's dormitory, and sure enough he heard ghosts and wolves in the background, Gao Sheng blankly stated the situation on the phone: "Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou suddenly arrived at the door of the dormitory, then put down their things and started calling Zhou Haitang. …”
"Ah!!!!" Zhou Haitang screamed in unison, "Dad!! Dad!!!"
Father Zhou's thick voice did not sound weak at all because of the long journey: "You stinky boy, you dare to try those crooked ways again!!"
"..." Lin Jingzhe said calmly, "I'll be there soon."
In the freshman dormitory of the Computer Science Department of Wutong University, Zhou Haitang was beaten to the point of crying and calling her mother suspicious of life.
His parents, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly appeared at the door of the dormitory. He was surprised and delighted at that moment, but before he could understand why they were here, his father's surging anger poured out without warning.
In the past, his father would help and persuade his mother when he beat people, but this time even his mother did it together! He was crying beside him, and slapped Lengzi.
Zhou Haitang cried to Lin Jingzhe, who hurried to the dormitory, "I memorized 300 words last night! What did I do wrong??!!"
Lin Jingzhe sympathetically touched his swollen face and comforted him hypocritically: "You are very good, don't be afraid, I will help you reason with your parents."
After being watched by the innocent Zhou Haitang with gratitude and admiration, Lin Jingzhe approached the parents of the Zhou family who had been invited to the office for tea by the terrified housekeeper. Zhou's mother wiped her tears with a handkerchief, relieved: "It's catching up, how can this child not give you peace of mind at all!"
Father Zhou slapped the table angrily: "I should have killed him!"
There were harsh words on his mouth, but his eyes were obviously red.
Ever since Lin Jingzhe tipped them off, the couple got on the bus from Li Yun at the fastest speed. They didn't dare to delay even a second along the way. Stimulating my son is simply exhausting!
Fortunately, I caught up, and my son didn't really have any problems.
Thinking of the travel expenses for the two of them, Zhou's father was relieved and heartbroken at the same time. This cost was already worth his salary for the past half month! Since Zhou's mother was laid off, the Zhou family's economy has been very tense, and they owe a considerable amount of foreign debt for Zhou Haitang's tuition and living expenses. Now every penny is precious to them. huge sum of money.
The couple discussed how they would return to Qunnan in the future. Mother Zhou was a little reluctant to bear her son: "Look at him, he is dark and thin, and I don't know how much he has suffered. We are here, let's stay with him for a few more days. "
Zhou's father smoked a hoarse voice, "Yan City is too expensive. Just now, the toll to the school cost two yuan, and a lunch cost one yuan. How much will it cost to stay a night? No, I'll tell Haitang later. When it's over, we'll go back to Qunnan. Brother Gao Fang's construction site is still waiting to start."
Zhou's mother is a traditional woman and has no financial resources. When her husband says something, she can only obey no matter how reluctant she is. Thinking that her son had been fed by herself in Liyun before and became fat and white, and only a few months after coming to Yan City, she has become a poor, black, thin, black and thin little boy. She was in pain and sobbed softly.
Lin Jingzhe poured hot tea for the two of them and asked, "Auntie and uncle, what about Zhou Haitang when you go back like this?"
Father Zhou sighed: "I'll make it clear to him, if he doesn't listen, I'll break his leg!"
Zhou's mother was startled: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Since the two of them had come all the way from Qunnan and took the most difficult first step, Lin Jingzhe always had a way to keep them here. Seeing that they had differences of opinion within themselves, they hurriedly said: "If he could be frightened so easily, I don't need to ask uncles and aunties to come here on purpose. Aunt Zhou, you have to stay for at least a week, right? Otherwise, If you go back like this, if Zhou Haitang goes to the horns again, do you have to rush back again?"
Father Zhou stopped smoking for a while, obviously hesitant.
Mother Zhou looked at her husband with expectant eyes. No matter how much Yan City spends, it is not as important as her son's future in her eyes.
Lin Jingzhe said: "Haitang is so stubborn, it would be bad if something really happened. I rented a house in Yan City. Uncles and aunts, you can live in it first, and the work on the construction site can be delayed for a while. Isn't people more important than money?"
Mother Zhou stomped her feet in a hurry, and pulled her husband's sleeve back and forth: "Just say something!"
Zhou's father was reluctant to spend on accommodation, and he was reluctant to pay for the construction site income, but Lin Jingzhe said that there was land to live in Yan City, and the balance that had shifted in his heart slowly recovered a little.
After thinking about the 20 yuan salary that day for a while, Father Zhou still gritted his teeth: "Then stay for another five days, and then leave after five days!"
Mother Zhou immediately abandoned her husband, got up and walked out: "I'll see how my son is doing."
"Wait." Lin Jingzhe was afraid of revealing the contents, so he stopped her and warned her carefully, "Auntie, be careful, and don't say anything that irritates Zhou Haitang."
Zhou's mother nodded cautiously immediately: "I understand, I understand, I won't mention a word."
*****
Lin Jingzhe took the two of them to live in the house previously rented to Deng Mai. Deng Mai was still in a cram school and went out early and returned late every day. They both thought it was a normal day school, and they did not find out that Deng Mai dropped out of school.
Residents of small cities have their own safe areas. Leaving this safe area will make them panic and be overwhelmed. That is why Zhou’s father cherishes the construction site work arranged by Gao Sheng’s father very much. Although Qunnan is also very unfamiliar. , but there are acquaintances, it is better than a black eye.
After Lin Jingzhe left them behind, he began to think about what kind of jobs should be given to them. Zhou's parents and Zhou's mothers were not very educated, and they were honest and responsible. Obviously not for them.
In the 1990s, the first wave of national entrepreneurship, business opportunities were everywhere, but there were not many people who dared to start. The peak of the self-employment outbreak will be a few years later. The wave of layoffs for all people will push the workers who have lost their jobs and have nowhere to go. They have to accept this completely unfamiliar world. At that time, the difficulty and competition of starting a business will be much greater than now. .
No matter what he finally decides to do, Father Zhou's early dismissal can be regarded as a good result.
I feel sorry for the beaten son and several children who were obviously tired and thin after arriving in Yan City. After moving into the house rented by Lin Jingzhe, Zhou's mother refused to be idle, and even dared to go out and talk to the old residents of the community. I asked for the address of the vegetable market, and I used the little money I had left to buy some meat and vegetables every day to nourish my child's body.
Her craftsmanship is really bizarre. Ever since she moved in, a long-lasting fragrance has been wafting from the inside and outside of the building that Lin Jingzhe rented. The old ladies in Yan City are usually enthusiastic and familiar, and they all come to find the root cause out of curiosity. Zhou’s mother has gotten to know the next-door neighbor in just two or three days. This strange city seems to be chatting about cooking skills. become less dangerous.
After delivering the soup to Wutong University with the heat preservation jar lent by the aunt next door, Mother Zhou worked tirelessly to make a trip to Yanshi University, walked into the school gate in awe, and made up for Lin Jingzhe, who did not come home for lunch at noon. Body.
The pig's trotters she bought were pointed, fried with rock sugar, and stewed with soybeans until it was fragrant and mellow, fat but not greasy. Even the unremarkable soybeans softened into soft, sticky treasures after soaking up the soup. Lin Jingzhe didn't take a few bites, and almost half of it was snatched away by Fang Wenhao and Hu Shaofeng who came to him for lunch.
Lin Jingzhe chewed the juicy hoof meat in his mouth a little unhappily, and a thought that he picked up a long time ago but couldn't think about suddenly flashed in his mind.
"Aunt Zhou."
Lin Jingzhe seriously and lovingly looked at Hu Shaofeng and Fang Wenhao's mother Zhou, and suggested, "I think you should not go back to Qunnan, just get some food in Yan City, do some small business, and be able to accompany you. Wouldn't it be better to accompany Zhou Haitang?"
Mother Zhou was stunned. This suggestion was completely beyond her scope of thought. Being able to stay in Yan City and make money while being with her son was almost an impossible dream for her. She bowed her head a little embarrassedly and said: " What kind of business do you do? Everyone will do the things I get. Who will pay for it? The family still owes a debt. When your uncle returns to Qunnan, he can earn twenty or thirty yuan a day. "
"What?!" Hu Shaofeng, who was so rude, suddenly heard the number, and felt as if he had come into contact with a very terrifying world, "Twenty or thirty yuan a day? That's enough shit? That's all you can eat in Yan City. If you set up a stall to sell it, you will be less than two or three thousand a month."
Fang Wenhao knew his young master's temper. He had never seen ordinary working-class people suffering from hardships.
Zhou's mother was not stabbed in her self-esteem, she was just stunned, feeling as if she had heard an incredible number.
