In the early morning, the sound of laughter like silver bells floated out from the country road in the suburbs of Jianglan.
Lu Haoran was riding a bicycle with Xiaoyanzi sitting on the back seat.
Next to him are his gay friend and Qin Shiqing.
Today is Qin Shiqing's birthday. According to the original plan, they went out for an outing in the morning.
Although he had already reached second base, the honest man was still very excited.
He had fantasized about such a foursome on the day he took his graduation photos in high school. After waiting for so long, it finally became a reality.
Su Zelin was very calm.
It's just riding a bike to pick up a girl.
He did this as early as elementary school.
The gangster learned to ride a bike faster than Qin Shiqing. He took Qin Shiqing to school the next day after he learned how to ride a bike.
Qin Shiqing's hands were much more restrained at that time than they are now.
It’s not like now, when that restless little hand pinches my thigh and the soft flesh on my waist from time to time.
"Hey, Qin Shiqing, could you please hold your hands back a little?"
The bastard couldn't help but complain out loud.
Why did a girl who was so well-behaved when she was young become like this now
Damn it, who led me astray
"cannot!"
"Why?"
"Because your flesh is so nice to pinch, so soft and comfortable!"
Su Zelin: “…”
What a lame excuse!
If you pinch me, I will pinch you back!
And it will pinch the softest part of your body!
The summer sky is beautiful and clear.
The air in the countryside is very good, and the mountains and fields are full of summer flowers. When the wind blows, the fragrance is either light or rich.
Half an hour later, the bicycle stopped at a lotus pond and arrived at the destination.
The lotus pond is quite large, with no end in sight; looking up, the layers of green leaves look like countless large fans, while the flowers with shy whispers and tender stamens look like graceful young girls, with fair skin, elegant demeanor and extraordinary beauty.
This lotus pond is a popular spot for Jiang Lan's outings, and there are quite a lot of people here.
After parking the bicycles, everyone came to the lotus pond.
I just feel the fragrance, refreshing my heart and nose.
"Wow, this lotus pond is so beautiful, Su Zelin, take a picture of me and Shiqing!"
Xiaoyanzi became excited all of a sudden and pulled Qin Shiqing to pose in various ways.
“Crack!”
“Crack!”
“Crack!”
…
Teacher Su picked up the camera and recorded it.
After taking some photos by the lotus pond, Tang Yan suggested, "How about we have a poetry relay? Everyone has to recite a poem about lotus!"
"OK!"
Qin Shiqing and Lu Haoran both responded enthusiastically, but the gangster remained silent, pretending to take pictures of the lotus pond with his camera. In fact, there was a pretty girl not far away, especially in a miniskirt, so he took a few pictures secretly.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xiaoyanzi assumed that he agreed.
"Shiqing, you're the birthday girl, so go first!"
"Well, well, it's fine. It comes out of the mud without being stained, and it washes in the clear water without being evil!"
These are the two most well-known lines of poetry related to lotus.
"The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun!"
Xiaoyanzi continued.
As long as you are not too slow in this subject, you will know all the ancient poems you learned in Chinese class.
"The green lotus covers the green water, and the hibiscus is covered with red!"
In fact, there is another more familiar sentence. The honest man was afraid that Su Zelin would not be able to continue, so he left that sentence to it.
“As soon as the lotus leaves show their tip, a dragonfly already lands on them!”
Sure enough, Su Zelin said without hesitation.
It was Qin Shiqing's turn again. She said calmly, "The bamboos are green by the stream, and the lotus is fragrant in the mirror!"
This was only the second round, but Xiaoyanzi racked her brains and could not think of a line of poetry. In the end, she could only spread her hands and said, "I give up, you guys continue."
Su Zelin was speechless.
A typical example of a person who is both bad at cooking and loves to play!
"I can't think of it."
The honest man could actually think of one or two more sentences, but he felt that if he continued to answer, Tang Yan would lose face.
So only Qin Shiqing and Su Zelin were left.
The scoundrel recited: "Sister-in-law picks lotus, there are thousands of streams and lakes!"
"Looking around, the mountain scenery meets the water scenery, and leaning on the railing, the fragrance of lotus flowers can be smelled for ten miles!"
Qin Shiqing is very good at Chinese and has a good accumulation of literary knowledge.
The scoundrel responded calmly. "Climbing the lotus and playing with its pearls, the lotus cannot form a circle!"
"Hand in hand, we set out on the road to Ouhua Lake. A moment of yellow plum rain!"
Qin Shiqing's competitive spirit came out.
The day before yesterday, she was mocked by her childhood sweetheart for her poor card skills, and she felt it necessary to save face in this round of ancient poetry chain game.
The gangster sneered.
My brother is known as the one who can sing through walls!
Who is afraid of Who!
Hunzi: "A gust of wind came and the green waves turned upside down, and the pearls were scattered and hard to pick up!"
Qin Shiqing: "Lotus silk is wrapped around the wrist, and water chestnuts are far away from the clothes!"
Hunzi: "Lotus ponds are everywhere beside the lake, with faint red dots of flowers in between!"
Qin Shiqing: "After a sudden rain, it was like pearls scattered everywhere, knocking over the new lotus leaves!"
Hunzi: "When the misty willows are dark, clouds are passing by; when the dewy lotus leaves turn over, fireflies are floating on the water!"
…
Xiaoyanzi and the honest man were stunned.
There are so many poems about lotus, why don’t we know any of them
After a few more rounds, Yin Chuanqiang still responded very quickly, and Qin Shiqing could hardly keep up.
But she didn't want to lose to the idiot, so she thought for a long time before she remembered another line: "The prostitutes wear flowers and snuggle with their partners, competing for beauty, competing to break off lotus flowers to block out the evening light!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the gangster attacked.
"One stalk draws the green, two shadows share the red!"
Du Gongzhan's poem "Ode to the Lotus of the Same Heart" is absolutely perfect for describing lotus.
Where do you think literati and poets came from
These ancient people were really cool!
Qin Shiqing bit her lower lip and thought for a long time, and finally said dejectedly: "I lost!"
The girl was very unwilling, but she was indeed defeated.
She was already at the end of her strength, and even if she could keep up, it would be very difficult.
The childhood sweetheart on the opposite side can tell at a glance that there is still a lot of accumulation in the bag.
This guy just slacked off in high school, so how could he have such a rich knowledge of ancient poetry
And, for some reason, it sounded weird.
Am I overthinking it
…
The outing lasted until almost noon, during which time we ate some lunch boxes and fruits that we brought with us, and then returned to the city. Our afternoon activity was shopping.
At this time, the gangster was completely wilted, as limp as a dead fish, and he even walked with little energy.
Qin Shiqing and Xiaoyanzi, who were walking in front, were revived as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, and their spirits were high.
The weather is hot and stuffy, it would be so nice to drive a Santana. I really don't know what these women are thinking why they have to like riding bicycles.
Are you a sunflower? You like being in the sun, right
After shopping for an afternoon, the two girls only bought one set of clothes each.
Really just strolling.
This continued until sunset.
"Okay, that's enough for today!"
Qin Shiqing was satisfied.
Although I didn’t gain much and didn’t buy anything, the key is to enjoy the process.
Su Zelin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally I can go home!
Unfortunately, he thought too well.
"Shiqing, let's go take some photo shoots as souvenirs!"
Xiaoyanzi proposed again.
Su Zelin felt a little dizzy. You are so troublesome.
He frowned and said, "I took a lot of photos for you guys without a camera. Why are you taking headshots? What's the point of taking photos of those low-quality photos?"
"That's different. Taking a photo is so much fun. You can change the background and add text at will!"
The little swallow was very excited.
“That sounds interesting!”
Qin Shiqing was moved.
"Yes, yes, yes. It would be better to add 'Forget about love' or 'My life is a sin'!"
Su Zelin looked unhappy.
Photo booths were popular in this era. The famous photo of the internet celebrity "Forget Love Brother" from the Zang Ai family in later generations actually came from street photo booths.
Su Zelin's protest was in vain. The birthday girl had the final say, so he could only go with them to a nearby photo booth.
This thing is also called Polaroid. As the name suggests, you can get the photo immediately after taking it without waiting for developing. It originated from the island country and was extremely popular in China around 2000.
If you have never taken a photo booth, you would be embarrassed to say that you are a person of this era.
Most of the non-mainstream classics of the Funeral Family have been passed down through photo stickers.
When photo booth machines were first launched, they only had fluorescent lights. Later, flash lights were used to make the skin look fairer. They were further developed into a space design that could accommodate three to four people. Some large photo booth specialty stores also rent out Cosplay costumes for free.
In the early days, photo booth culture was an activity in which girls in peer groups exchanged photos to prove their friendship and intimacy.
There are also many girls who sell sex and put up stickers with their phone numbers on them in phone booths.
Later, it became a daily date activity between couples.
Taking photos is very simple. The boss just teaches me and I can do it by myself. The key is to choose the background, which takes time.
Qin Shiqing and Xiaoyanzi picked for a long time. This one is good, that one is also good, and they didn’t know how to choose.
Su Zelin was getting impatient and kept urging them, and only then did they start filming.
The gangster was waiting outside, originally lacking interest, but was forcibly dragged in by Qin Shiqing.
The curtains were drawn, simply isolating the outside world and facing the camera.
"Hey, smile a little!"
"Why are you looking so far away? You're almost out of the camera!"
"Three, two, one, eggplant!"
"… "
They took turns taking photos of several profile pictures, and after getting them they exchanged and looked at them with great interest for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, they went home separately.
"Son, you're back. Did you have fun playing with Shiqing today?"
Su Jianjun is playing mahjong on Lianzhong Games.
It was a rare occasion today that Su Zelin was out for the whole day. Dad Su was enjoying surfing the Internet and wished that Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing would not come back at night.
"What's so fun about this? Going on a picnic and shopping, I'm so exhausted!"
Su Zelin was too tired to complain.
After resting at home for a while, Zhao Lixia called me to go next door.
Because it is Qin Shiqing’s birthday, we are having a dinner at Qin’s house today. This is also the custom of both families.
The meal was a great pleasure.
During this period, New Century advertisements were also broadcast on television.
Liu Sufen became even more enthusiastic when she saw this. She kept picking up food for Su Zelin, and the loving look she gave him almost looked like that of an old mother-in-law.
Ze Lin is really amazing. He hasn't even started college yet, but he's already a manager in a big company. I heard that the company earns four to five thousand a month. He and Shi Qing are a perfect match, and they are both talented and beautiful. They are neighbors, and it's easy for them to visit each other. They are a perfect match.
Come to think of it, both children are already 19 years old and will graduate in two years.
After they leave school, urge them to get married soon.
While Daqing and I are still young, we can help them look after their children.
What should I name my grandson when he is born
After dinner, the women cleaned up and the men drank Kung Fu tea in the living room.
Su Zelin was the younger generation, so the task of making tea fell on him.
Seeing his skillful technique, Qin Daqing couldn't help but feel curious even though he had known it for a long time. He knew a tea-mad boss, and the requirements for making Kung Fu tea were no more than the same.
The kid next door behaves like a little adult in every way, no wonder he can become a company manager. If it were other people of the same age, they would not be mature enough and there would always be a gap between them and their leaders, so it would be difficult for them to make it into the senior circle of the company at a young age.
After a while, the tea was ready and Su Zelin poured a cup for Qin Daqing and Su Jianjun.
The two drank a glass and nodded repeatedly.
I have to admit that this child brews tea of higher quality than me. He controls the heat just right, and brews the tea neither too early nor too late, allowing the tea aroma to be fully released without being too old.
After drinking a few cups of tea, Su Jianjun spoke up: "Zelin, what do you think of the development of the new district on both sides of the Jianglan River?"
"New district?"
Su Zelin, who was about to make a second round of tea, put down the kettle in his hand and asked, "Dad, are you planning to buy property in the New Market?"
Su Jianjun nodded slightly: "Not only me, your uncle Qin also has such a plan. Don't we all have some savings now? Instead of leaving it in the bank, why not see if there is anything good to invest!"
Su's father's vision is still relatively avant-garde. After all, he is smart, and as a businessman he often travels around the country. He has a better investment vision than ordinary citizens. Moreover, in recent years he has learned how to use the Internet and has a better understanding of domestic and international information and economic development.
Currently, the places with heavier traffic in Jianglan are all old districts, where real estate has just taken off. People don’t have much concept or vision about the appreciation of investment in properties and shops. In addition, the traffic in the new district is still very low, so there are very few people interested.
In fact, Qin's father also bought property in the new district in his previous life, but not now, but two years later.
Qin Daqing had originally planned to do so, but he failed to make up his mind. In addition, his wife persuaded him and he finally gave up. After missing this opportunity, he often regretted the incident and scolded his wife for being short-sighted.
However, in this life, influenced by Su Zelin and his son, and making a fortune from trading B shares, he has a lot more savings than at the same timeline in his previous life, so his determination in this life has become much stronger.
"Dad, you have a good idea."
Su Zelin gave him a thumbs up.
Some people desperately deposit their money in banks, as if they were afraid of losing it, and they don't realize the depreciation of soft girls at all.
Now you have tens of thousands of dollars in your hand. Putting it in the bank for more than ten years and buying a property and keeping it for more than ten years are completely different concepts.
The interest from a bank cannot double at best in more than ten years, but if you buy a property, it is not impossible to increase it tenfold or even dozens of times.
"In recent years, the prices of real estate and shops have risen rapidly in many places, especially in big cities. Although Jianglan is a small city, this trend will come sooner or later. This is the general trend. No matter what property it is, it is a good way to invest."
Su Zelin said casually.
Qin Daqing perked up: "Zelin, what do you think would be a better buy?"
If it were someone else, they wouldn’t discuss such an important matter with a young person.
But Su Zelin is not an ordinary young man, so Qin's father wants to seek his opinion.
"Land, or shop!"
Su Zeli said without hesitation: "I personally recommend a shop, Uncle Qin, you and my dad are both businessmen. If you invest in a shop, you can run your own business and decorate it however you want. You don't have to worry about the landlord not wanting to renew the lease when the contract expires!"
"Besides, even if you don't use it yourself, renting out the shop to others will also bring returns. If you buy a shop well, you can even make a living from it for three generations! This is the case in Lin'an. Some local residents spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy a shop in the city center ten years ago, and now they collect tens of thousands of yuan in rent every month!"
"If you buy land and build a house, you can of course use the shop on the first floor, but generally speaking, the shop in a self-built house is not as valuable as the commercial area planned by the government, and you can buy many shops on a piece of land!"
The two elders were delighted and agreed deeply with what they heard.
"Yes, it's a good investment in a shop. You can use it yourself or rent it out. There are many options!"
Qin Daqing asked again: "Zelin, which shop do you like?"
“Seongnam Market!”
Su Zelin uttered four words without hesitation.
"There are only two new markets planned to be built in the new district. Where there is a market, there will be prosperity. It is okay to invest in both markets, but I prefer Chengnan Market because it is located at the junction of the new district and the old district!"
"In other words, it can attract consumers from the old district and become popular faster with a shorter transition period! If you switch to another market further away, you will have to wait many years before popularity gradually increases."
"Besides, there are schools, shopping malls, pedestrian streets, cinemas and other supporting facilities around Chengnan Market. It will definitely become one of the core commercial areas of the new district!"
“Of course, the shops there are more expensive than other places, but I think it’s totally worth spending a little more!”
As a reborn person and a Jianglan native, Hunzi naturally knows very well the future development of his hometown.
In fact, as long as you are not too unlucky, you can make money by investing in any shop or property now, it just depends on the size of the appreciation potential.
This south city market will be the place with the most expensive rent in Jianglan in the future!
If Su Zelin wants to lie low, he can just take out all his money and buy a bunch of shops. This is the advantage of being a reborn person!
However, compared to investing in real estate, he prefers to be unemployed. He feels more fulfilled and makes money faster by doing business. Before graduation, Su Zelin can guarantee a net worth of tens of millions, or even over 100 million. But if you want to invest in a shop, you will have to wait ten or eight years.
Besides, if you don’t do business and just collect rent like Zeng Kaiping, it will be difficult to keep a secretary around you.
However, although I don't invest in real estate, it doesn't prevent me from encouraging my father and the Qin family to invest.
In my previous life, I cheated on Qin Shiqing. I feel so sorry for Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu. I must make it up to them no matter what in this life.
Then let's persuade Uncle Qin to buy a shop in the South City Market. And not just one, but several, so that the old couple and Qin Shiqing can live a better life in the future, which can be regarded as a disguised form of compensation.
After dinner, the three members of the Su family sat at the Qin family until around nine o'clock and then went back.
Qin Shiqing took a shower, put on a set of pajamas, sat cross-legged in the bed, and took out the headshots taken today and looked at them one by one.
The additional text backgrounds "Forget Love" and "My Life is a Sin" strongly recommended by Su Zelin were rejected by the girls. In the end, the backgrounds that were photographed were flowers, cartoons, balloons, stars and moons, which are girls' favorites.
Both she and Su Zelin are very good-looking, so even if these photos are leaked to the Internet, there is no need to worry about becoming an Internet celebrity like Wang Ai Ge.
After looking at it for a while, the girl carefully tore off a complete piece of paper from the backing.
This was a photo of her and Su Zelin. Their heads were close together and they were making faces at the camera.
Stick it on the inside of your pencil case.
This way, every time you open the pencil case, you can see the pig head.
Well, how about a diary too!
Do I need to put it on the headboard
It seems too obvious, so forget it.
The girl was sticking things on.
"Shiqing!"
Liu Sufen's voice came from behind.
Qin Shiqing was busy putting up several photo albums, then turned around and said in dissatisfaction: "Mom, how can you just walk into someone else's room!"
"I knocked on the door several times, but you didn't hear me. Why are you so engrossed in watching something? Let mom take a look too!"
Liu Sufen smiled, but she had actually seen it. It was a photo of her daughter and Su Zelin.
"Nothing, I won't show you!"
Qin Shiqing stuck out her tongue.
"Haha, is it a photo with Zelin? My daughter, how far have you and Zelin progressed?"
Liu Sufen sat on the edge of the bed and asked gossipingly.
"What are you talking about, Mom? That's not true."
Qin Shiqing is still young after all.
"Come on, can't I see it, Shiqing? You will be a junior next year, and you have to plan for your future. Study and work are important, and finding a good boy is also important. I think Zelin is a good fit!"
Now Qin's mother no longer waited and watched or hid anything, and directly stated her opinion.
"Zelin is so outstanding now, I'm afraid that other girls will appear around him in the future, so, daughter, you have to take the initiative!"
Liu Sufen spoke earnestly.
Qin Shiqing thought that it had already appeared.
Thinking of the long hair on the passenger seat of Santana that did not belong to her or Huang Panpan, the girl felt a little upset.
Seeing her expression, Liu Sufen asked tentatively, "Is it that girl from the Huang family who is causing trouble?"
Speaking of Huang Panpan, Qin Shiqing felt a little embarrassed.
The love rival becomes the partner by your side, which is totally out of the ordinary.
"No, Mom, love is something that should be left to nature!"
"Why don't you and Zelin just let things take their own course? You grew up together, childhood sweethearts. This is fate, a match made in heaven! Don't worry, even if the Huang girl's family conditions are better, Zelin will still like you more!"
Liu Sufen thought that her daughter was worried about the rich girl.
It’s true that Zelin may like me the most, but he likes other girls too.
Qin Shiqing felt a little helpless.
In fact, Huang Panpan is fine. Her biggest trouble is that her childhood sweetheart longs for the entire forest.
At this time, Liu Sufen said again: "Don't worry, Shiqing, I'll teach you a trick, and I guarantee you and Zelin will succeed!"
"What trick?"
Qin Shiqing's eyes lit up.
"After you get a job, have a child with Zelin as soon as possible, and he will naturally change his mind!"
Qin Shiqing wiped her sweat and said, "Mom, what a bad idea!"
"Hey, don't tell me, this trick really works!"
Liu Sufen lowered her voice.
"Your Uncle Su was very popular with the female employees in the steel factory. How did your Aunt Zhao conquer him later? It was because of Ze Lin!"
"Okay, Mom, I have to go to bed, you should get some rest too!"
"Hey, I haven't finished yet, you should think about it carefully."
"… "
Qin Shiqing pushed Liu Sufen out and closed the door before returning to the room, her pretty face flushed.
Mom, what kind of advice is this
But, will it really work
I wonder if the first child I have with that pig-head will be a boy or a girl
What should I call it
…
