For several days, the TV was full of reports about the Wenchuan Earthquake. A week later, a national mourning was held, and all the web pages turned gray and black, and all game and music providers suspended their services.
He felt that the relationship between Tan Ruikang and Li Jing had undergone subtle changes. Tan Ruikang would not bring anything for Li Jing when he went home, and the two seemed to bicker occasionally.
Yuan Yuan had no internet access, so he could only sit at home and read. When Tan Ruikang came back, he was a little tired, and Yuan Yuan said, "What's wrong? Don't keep arguing, talk about it if you're in a bad mood."
Yuan Yuan looked at Tan Ruikang expectantly, and Tan Ruikang said, "Li Jing has... had a boyfriend before."
Yuan Yuan said, "I thought it was such a big deal."
"It's not the first time for her," said Tan Ruikang.
Yuan Yuan said: "Fuck, what are you talking about! A virgin complex! That's why you have to treat her well. You think, she has been hurt by other men before, how can you care about this?"
Tan Ruikang suddenly understood something, nodded and said, "I see, brother, you are right."
Yuan Yuan smiled and said nothing.
But Tan Ruikang still quarreled with Li Jing, sometimes over trivial matters. Li Jing couldn't help but complain to Yuan Yuan.
"Your brother." Li Jing said, "I was snoring in the middle of the night, so noisy that I couldn't sleep."
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "He didn't know that before, maybe he's just too tired recently. You can stew him some gastrodia elata to see if it relieves him."
"I don't know how to stew your Cantonese soup." Li Jing said, "Let's learn."
A few days later, Li Jing said again, "Brother, if you have time, tell me about your brother."
Yuan Yuan said: "What happened to him?"
Li Jing said: "I didn't go home after nine o'clock in the evening, I didn't say a word, I didn't answer the phone..."
Yuan Yuan remembered that Lin Zibo had established a relationship with a girl last night, and invited them to go to the beach for a barbecue. He called Li Jing to ask if Li Jing had eaten or not, and Li Jing said that he had eaten, but he did not come back with a late-night snack.
Li Jing: "... I finally got through. There are all the women laughing next to me."
Yuan Yuandao: "It's an entertainment. If you don't answer it, it should be a drink. He will ask his secretary to drive him when he drinks. You can just call his secretary. It's often a matter of entertainment. He wants to take a loan and have a meal with the bank manager. I Knowing who that woman is, it's all entertainment, sister-in-law, don't worry about it."
Li Jing said: "How come people in business are like this, do they often ask to wash their feet and massage them..."
Yuan Yuan turned to the book and said, "Yes, but my brother will never go to prostitutes. Don't worry, if men in the world have money and cheat, he will never cheat."
Li Jing said: "I didn't say that he went to prostitutes, but he can't go home all the time. He left at seven in the morning and came back at eleven or twelve in the evening. I haven't found out before, why is he always like this."
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "My dad used to be like this, he's just used to it, and my brother has only been socializing for three days this week, so I'll be back for dinner at other times."
Li Jing said: "Have dinner and a bunch of phone calls. I say he is making money. He listens to you. Help me talk about him."
Yuan Yuan said: "Oh, don't be angry."
A few days later, Yuan Yuan heard them arguing again.
Li Jing opened the door and said, "Brother, sister-in-law asked you..."
"Don't get involved with him!" Tan Ruikang said: "Tell me if you have anything."
Yuan Yuan frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong? It's okay, you say."
Tan Ruikang said, "it's okay, just ignore her."
Li Jing said: "Why can't you say it again?"
Yuan Yuan: "Tell me! What's the problem?"
Tan Ruikang motioned to Li Jing to go back to the room, and Li Jing said, "Tan Ruikang!"
Tan Ruikang said, "Are you going back?"
Li Jing went back to the room with a dark face.
Tan Ruikang sat on the sofa smoking a cigarette. Yuan Yuan ignored him and continued to read. After a long time, Tan Ruikang asked, "What book?"
"Going Left, Going Right" by Jimmy." Yuan Yuan said, "What's the noise this time?"
Tan Ruikang said: "Her brother graduated this year and is going to Shenzhen to find a job. He wants to find a place to live first."
Yuan Yuan had a headache when he heard it, and said, "Brother? Rent a house for him to live in. Our family is small. We can invite him to play at home after changing your marriage room."
Tan Ruikang said: "Brother thinks so too. She also asks if he can let his younger brother come to the company to help..."
Yuan Yuan can almost guess all the causes and consequences. He said, "Where's my sister-in-law, doesn't she find a job by herself?"
Tan Ruikang didn't say anything, and said far away: "You don't want his brother to join our company, do you? Since you want to support the family, you should be a good person to the end, send the Buddha to the West, the packaging that should be packaged, the money that should be spent, don't Not only does she look like she will be raised for a lifetime, but she is reluctant to spend money on her."
"To tell you the truth, brother, compared with those big bosses, our family is not rich at all. Those real estate owners are all worth hundreds of millions. All the good cars parked in our new house community, and If you drive a Rolls-Royce, look at us, how many are there in total? It’s not too ostentatious.”
Tan Ruikang hummed and said, "I want to find a university for her to study after she gets married, and then she will go to study in September, and then invite a nanny to cook for you."
Yuan Yuandao: "Well, after reading it, you can find a leisurely job for her. Brother, we don't have money, we don't have much money, and millions of dollars are really nothing to be proud of. Don't be a big boss. Don't pretend to be like a man. I know you think you earn a lot, so you pretend to be a man in front of her, right? Don't do that, it's boring. "
"Got it." Tan Ruikang said.
Yuan Yuan: "Do you really know?"
Tan Ruikang nodded, being disciplined like a child, and finally asked, "Do you want her brother to come?"
Yuan Yuan thought about it for a while, it was not a serious matter to recruit Li Jing's brother in, she might not just want to split up and go, anyway, it was her own brother, so it was normal to come to help Tan Ruikang.
If you can't support the wall, you can arrange an idle job and pay him a monthly salary, even if it doesn't cost much.
"Let his resume show me first." Yuan Yuan said.
Vocational high school graduation... Yuan Yuan has a headache when she sees it, and she can't say it in front of her. Yuan Yuan's boss is used to it, and she is afraid that she will be misunderstood and look down on people if she says the wrong thing.
He thought about it for a long time and asked Tan Ruikang, "Will his brother go to practice again? Let's pay."
Tan Ruikang thought about it and went to discuss it with Li Jing. The final answer was that her brother didn't want to study anymore, and it was not the material for studying.
Li Jing's younger brother is still studying FLASH in vocational high school. It is estimated that all his time is wasted on playing games. After watching it for a while, he feels that it is useless to come to his own company. Since he likes playing games, it is better to let him learn some game production and planning. It also happened to suit his interest, so at two in the middle of the night, he called You Zeyang.
"Who—" You Zeyang was called out in the middle of the night.
Yuan Yuan: "Repay the money."
You Zeyang exclaimed, "No! It's in full set!"
Yuan Yuan: "Aren't you going to pay back?"
"If you want money or not, you will die—" You Zeyang said, "You killed me—"
Yuan Yuan: "It's ok if you don't pay back the money. Ask your HR and help Tan Ruikang's brother-in-law find a job, a vocational high school student."
You Zeyang: "How do you know that I'm the boss - did Gu Xiaoting tell you? You will kill me if you give me a vocational high school! We are all recruiting Tsinghua University and Peking University now, sir, please forgive me, don't look for me in the middle of the night Are you having fun?"
Yuan Yuan: "You're the boss? That's great, I'll leave it to you. Are you chasing my sister? Be careful that Ma Liu and I go to talk to my sister, and you'll lose both money and money. There are a bunch of Wang Laowu looking for wives, including returnees from the UK, and undergraduate and master students…”
You Zeyang: "Don't! Don't! Your sister! Okay, let him send his resume to my mailbox tomorrow, I'll ask you, don't call again, Dad! I've been working overtime for almost 48 hours. …”
Yuan Yuan hung up the phone, and sent his resume a few days later. You Zeyang agreed to recruit him into his department to do a job. Yuan Yuan asked Tan Ruikang to tell Li Jing, not to mention that he was looking for it, but that Tan Ruikang helped him find it. solved.
A few days later, Tan Ruikang was in a cold war with Li Jing again, and Yuan Yuan was going to be driven crazy. He only thought that since he was about to get married, he couldn't let her rent a house outside. Tan Ruikang lived in his own home. , but the quarrel started as soon as the love period was over, as if it was an eternal truth. He knew that they must like each other to quarrel, but he still found it annoying.
"Is your marriage over yet?" Yuan Yuan said, "If you want to break up, say it as soon as possible. I'm going to rush someone to clean up the house. What's the quarrel this time?!"
Tan Ruikang sighed, did not speak, nodded after a while and said, "I will solve it myself."
Tan Ruikang went to work the next day, and Li Jing was watching TV in the living room. She came out far away and said, "Sister-in-law, do you have anything to eat?"
Li Jing said: "No, I'll cook for you. You two brothers don't like the food I cook..."
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "No way, the food you cook is much better than mine." Xindao even knew this. He was really picky about his meals. When Zhao Guogang was there, he only ate the food made by his father. , Even Tan Ruikang's craftsmanship disliked it. Later, when Tan Ruikang learned to cook Cantonese cuisine, he reluctantly ate Tan Ruikang's, and his eating habits didn't matter.
Li Jing's food tastes even stranger than Tan Ruikang's, and she is often lazy when preparing the ingredients. Yuan Yuan basically just eats a little symbolically without moving her chopsticks.
Tan Ruikang had love to support him when he first started falling in love with Li Jing, and Tan Ruikang had finished all the meals Li Jing brought him.
Now everyone doesn't cook often, and occasionally sit at a table. Li Jing's cooking style is far away and he doesn't like it. Tan Ruikang also finds that he doesn't like it when he eats.
Li Jing made it a few times and knew that her meal was not delicious, so she didn't bother to cook it.
Li Jing: "Your brother said that the diamond ring is 20 points."
Yuan Yuan: "It's too small, isn't it, you guys were arguing about this yesterday?"
Li Jing said slowly in the kitchen, "No, I like it very much. The style is very unique."
Yuan Yuan didn't say that the diamond ring was Tan Ruikang's birthday present. He knew that Li Jing thought it was too small, and said, "You ask him to buy a Darry Ring. Buy a one-carat one. Every man can only buy one in his life. It is globally networked, and once you buy it, you will never be able to buy another diamond ring from it.”
Li Jing said, "You still know this. You are just like a young master from a rich family. Compared with you, your brother is a bum."
Yuan Yuan frowned and said, "Don't say that, he is making money to support us."
Li Jing smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
Yuan Yuan realized that the sentence just now was a bit heavy, and was thinking about how to change the subject, Li Jing sighed again and said, "I'll look for a job in a few days."
Yuan Yuan said: "Sister-in-law, do you want to start a business? You can also open a Taobao store at home. Go to Taobao Mall to register, specializing in petty bourgeoisie business. Spend some money to get five diamonds, and the money will come quickly."
Li Jing said, "I don't have any capital, so I don't look like you."
Distant: "… "
What Yuan Yuan meant by saying this was obviously to help her find something to do with her capital. Now she feels that she can't communicate at all. As long as she nods her head, Yuan Yuan will arrange for her, and this is the result.
He wondered what happened to this girl? What does Tan Ruikang like about her? Forget it, just let them toss it out on their own.
Why do we all live together in the future? How can we live together in this way? Yuan Yuan didn't plan to move in with them from the very beginning, so he asked Tan Ruikang to keep a room at that time. Anyway, he was about to go abroad. Everyone was over a hundred, and they had their own happy birthdays.
Tan Ruikang came back very early that day and discussed with Li Jing about the wedding. The wedding was a grand battle. It was necessary to send invitations, look at the venue, find a wedding company, and invite a team.
Tan Ruikang meant to pack a bus, go back to Li Jing's hometown to pick up relatives for a drink, find a hotel for them to stay for one night, and send them away the next day. Li Jing wanted to invite them here again, and once again when they went back, the two were on the coffee table. After talking for a long time, it was a little annoying.
The project to hold a wedding is huge, and basically everyone is involved. Li Jing wants to invite another, and he talks a lot. Tan Ruikang is tossed and burnt, and he has to book a banquet and charter a car. For three full days. Annoyed to death.
Yuan Yuan didn't want to take care of it, but he couldn't read it anymore. He took the materials and threw them on the table, saying, "I'll come."
Tan Ruikang said, "I've memorized the list, and your sister-in-law will add it temporarily."
Yuan Yuandao: "Print a thousand invitations, give her five hundred, let her discuss with her parents who the woman wants to invite, and the final list is just for you, and let the hotel prepare five more tables, so don't rush when there are more guests. If you don't have enough, you can divide these dishes and serve them on other tables. Anyway, there is no shortage of money."
Tan Ruikang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, you are still smart."
Yuan Yuandao: "Looking at your posture, you need at least fifty tables. On our side, junior high school students and high school students can invite them. College students in other provinces don't need to inform them. Gu Xiaoting and the others are close, and they can come if they want. Come. There are many old people in my hometown. The old men and the old ladies are all elders. Don't let people run around. When you get married, go home and set up a running water table, and invite the villagers to eat without receiving red packets. Eat all you can, and go to the ancestors to visit the tomb.”
Tan Ruikang said: "It's great, I'm having a headache about what to do in my hometown. People here are embarrassed to send posts and receive red envelopes. We are not the ones who want to make money this time, for wine, wedding, and all the money. Let's go out. Besides, these have to be returned, and I don't have so much time to eat and invite one by one, or we can just write a red envelope and forget it at will."
Yuan Yuan said: "Go and discuss with your wife first."
Tan Ruikang said: "I don't care about her, the woman's red envelope is registered. After receiving it, I will take it back to her. How about her parents?"
Yuan Yuan said: "Also, let's add tens of thousands more to her parents. In the future, when others invite her family to drink, let her parents pay back the favor by themselves."
Tan Ruikang: "Well, I thought about it for a while, why don't we all register here, take a plate and receive a red envelope, don't remember how much you give, if you have a relationship in the future, go to eat and invite them, and then give them a favor."
Yuan Yuandao: "If you do this, you might as well write it on the wedding invitation. The red envelope is only 20, and it is a good sign that it is a pair. Send someone there to collect the red envelope, open it on the spot and look at it, and find the extra for them. ."
Tan Ruikang laughed and said, "This is good, this is great."
Li Jing came out and heard the call, her face turned dark immediately, and asked, "Only accept a red envelope of twenty yuan? Is this the rule here?"
Tan Ruikang said: "We are here. How much your parents charge is optional. Then give it to your parents and let them control."
Li Jing said, "Isn't the red envelope for us?"
Tan Ruikang waved his hand and said, "If you don't need those, you can just tell them."
Yuan Yuan is very satisfied, so I don't have to worry about it, and I don't have to go everywhere to be bombed in the future. It's okay to talk about money. I really don't have the time to go to eat and invite people. It's exhausting. Besides, a large part of Tan Ruikang's interpersonal relationship is between him and Zhao Guogang. , Tan Ruikang put the wine here and collected the money. At that time, others only knew him Zhao Yuanyuan, and he didn't want to laugh when he got married alone.
Yuan Yuan said, "Well, this will save a lot of trouble."
Yuan Yuan dared not let Zhao Guogang help with the wedding. The weather was so hot that in the hot summer, Tan Ruikang and Li Jing ran and quarreled all the time. , the result actually did not, or survived.
Qi Huiyu returned to China with his girlfriend and is currently working in Hong Kong. He was stunned when he heard the news. Tan Ruikang didn't know anything and handed him an invitation.
Qi Huiyu wanted to ask Yuan Yuan to go out to dinner, but Yuan Yuan really had no time, so he asked him to talk about it after the wedding.
On July 20th, 18 days before the opening of the Olympic Games, Tan Ruikang and Li Jing were going to get married in a big local hotel.
The wedding was all arranged by Yuan Yuan and Tan Ruikang. Yuan Yuan was about to be exhausted. He slept for three hours the night before, and was called by the phone to confirm the procedure again, saying that the woman had revised it again.
Tan Ruikang lived in his small room, while Li Jing went to stay at the hotel with her parents, preparing to pick up the bride tomorrow morning.
The night before Tan Ruikang's wedding, Yuan Yuan was in a daze in his room.
"Brother, what are you doing." Tan Ruikang said, "brother wants to talk to you about something."
Yuan Yuan took a document and came out and said, "Brother, I also have something to talk to you about."
Come out far away, sit at the dining table, the lamp on the dining room emits a warm yellow light, shining between them, the world is dark, there is only such a small warm area.
Tan Ruikang's eyebrows and hair were covered with a warm light, and he lowered his head and said, "Brother, tomorrow brother is getting married. I have a few words from my heart that I want to tell you."
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "Brothers are for a lifetime."
"Yes." Tan Ruikang said, "That's what I said... But I still want to say it."
"Since my brother came to the house, you don't dislike me. You treat me as your own brother. If you have a share of anything, you will give him a share. It's not so much that my uncle treats me well, it's better that you treat me well. My uncle gave it to me. It's money, and you gave me a home."
"My parents go early, and my grandparents don't like me either. Having a younger brother like you is the greatest blessing in my life."
Tan Ruikang's eyes blushed as he spoke, and said, "Brother, last time I heard someone say that other people's brothers still quarrel, you see, we have never touched rough or blushed for so many years, brother is sick. , it was you who healed…”
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "Don't mention that, it's your life if it's good."
Tan Ruikang nodded and said, "Everyone said, no matter how good a brother is, it's just like this. Look at this."
He spread the document out for a distant view.
"You sign this document first." Tan Ruikang said, "because this is a company we worked hard together, and it has half of you in it, so make an agreement first. Quite right."
"It's best to marry a wife to live a lifetime, because I'm afraid that there will be any economic disputes with your sister-in-law in the future. You know what you mean, it's not about breaking up the family, but writing it clearly and writing your name, and then this The company is still run by your brother, and no one else has the right to control how much money you want."
Yuan Yuan suddenly remembered this time six years ago, it was also July, it was also a summer night.
That year, he had just finished the college entrance examination, which was the happiest time in his life. Zhao Guogang called him to the dining table, took out the documents, and asked him to sign.
Yuan Yuan said: "I was about to say this too."
He took out a document and said, "You're right, brother, but I want you to sign my copy. This company will give it to you in the future as your wedding gift. You have taken care of me for so many years. Father, you have always been my role model, without you, I would not know where I would have fallen since high school, I have nothing to repay you, only money, this is my little intention, please don’t dislike it.”
"Also, brother, I used to lie to you when I said I was cured. I still love you. But I don't plan to live with you anymore." Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "Don't have any responsibilities because of this. Guilt, live your life well, this is still your home. You think of me, just go home and see me occasionally, I don't mind."
Tan Ruikang was silent for a while, looking at the distance, he couldn't help crying.
"No, Xiaoyuan." Tan Ruikang cried and said, "Why didn't you say it? Why didn't you say it at the time?!"
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "Don't be like this, don't cry... You... hey."
This is what he remembered seeing Tan Ruikang crying so exaggeratedly, as stupid and funny as a child, with snot coming out of his nose, Tan Ruikang cried unbelievably, as if he had lost something.
"Sign the document." Yuan Yuan pressed the pen into his hand.
Tan Ruikang roared in anger and pain: "I don't sign!"
Yuan Yuan said: "Then wait until you calm down."
Yuan Yuan went to the sofa to watch TV by himself. Tan Ruikang cried for a while, and calmed down. Yuan Yuan said, "It's useless if you don't sign it. Then I just need to sign a contract to give up all my property and give it to you for free. Hurry up. Sign, lest I have to run around again and be exhausted."
Tan Ruikang said: "Brother can't bear you, why don't you say it?! Why don't you say it!"
Yuan Yuan said: "Brother, there are not so many perfect things in the world, really, if you want this, you have to learn to give up that. Live your own life, better than anything else, don't be like my dad. Stubborn, selfish and cruel, I have no choice but to do what other people do, but as long as I don't want it, I will never cooperate. There is no reason why no one can live without one, so let's live separately. , I sincerely wish you happiness."
Tan Ruikang's face was full of tears, and he was shaking while sitting at the dining table, his eyes were terribly red.
"Starting tomorrow." Yuan Yuan said, "I'm not the Zhao Yuan Yuan who likes my brother, I'm just your brother, just like you told me before, don't take you as the one I love, just as a brother, Divided into my favorite Tan Ruikang and my Gotham Ruikang."
"You also have to learn to look at me this way, and divide me into Xiaoyuan, who likes you, and Xiaoyuan, your brother. We have to get used to each other, take your time, and everything will be adjusted. Come back and see me when you miss me. , you have a wife with you, she is very dependent on you, you won't miss me often. Your brother Xiaoyuan promised to live with you, but Xiaoyuan who likes you can't live with you because you have a wife. "
Tan Ruikang cried out in pain, trembling all over from crying.
Looking at Tan Ruikang's appearance, Yuan Yuan couldn't bear it. He said, "Remember to sign the documents, don't go to bed too late, and get married tomorrow."
After entering the room, he let out a long sigh of exhaustion and locked the door with his backhand. I wonder if you're thinking now that I don't want money, I just want you? It's a pity that it's impossible. After passing this village, there will be no such shop. Let's all get married and get out of here.
