Chapter 175: Becoming Smaller 3
"Brother Jiang!" Meng Guan and Wang Honghong were waiting outside the door in their car. When they saw Brother Jiang come out, they immediately greeted him.
"Yeah." Jiang Chen opened the back door and got in the car.
"Bang." Ye Rou woke up with the sound of a car door closing.
There was a thin layer of velvet in the pocket of her leather jacket, and soft cloth was everywhere, making it difficult to stand up. She took great effort to sit up and carefully looked through.
Jiang Chen was in the back seat of the car, and she saw the backs of Meng Guan and Wang Honghong's heads.
Wang Honghong was holding a small tape recorder and playing "The Story of Time".
"The blooming flowers in spring, the wind in autumn and the setting sun in winter"
"Melancholy youth, when I was young I used to think so ignorantly"
"The windmill rotates every day in the song of the four seasons."
"Flowing water takes away the story of time and changes a person"
…
A melodious song blared in the car. Wang Honghong, wearing large gradient plastic sunglasses, laughed out loud and said, "Brother Jiang, I'm going to open a record company in the future and sell records for my favorite singers, so they can become famous all over the country! Brother Jiang, invest money in me and I'll take you to great heights!"
Meng Guan poured cold water on him while driving, "How do record companies make money? Your love?"
Wang Honghong laughed and said, "You're so ignorant. I saw Miss Deng's concert in Hong Kong last year, and you didn't see the reactions of the people there. They were so crazy and excited. It was terrifying."
Ye Rou looked at Wang Honghong through the rearview mirror. Although he said it was terrible, his eyes were full of excitement, so much so that his face was flushed.
Wang Honghong loves to laugh and talk just like Zhou Liang, but the difference between him and Zhou Liang is that he seems to have something crazier in his bones, so his dress, words and even daily actions are more exaggerated than ordinary people.
"Your idea is even less plausible than Zhou Liang's plan to open restaurants all over the country." Meng Guan snorted and chuckled, then said jokingly, "Even if Brother Jiang wants to invest money, he should invest in my company."
"You nerd, you still want to start a company?" Wang Honghong said with a smile, "Tell us about it now and open our eyes."
Meng Guan glanced at the tape recorder in Wang Honghong's arms and asked, "Do you believe that one day there will be a device that can play songs and record music, watch TV programs, and make phone calls?"
Wang Honghong opened her mouth wide, "Nerd, you're even more imaginative than me!"
Meng Guan glared at Wang Honghong and said, "If you don't believe me, forget it. I got into University A to major in computer science. Sooner or later, I will develop something like this, and then you'll know how ignorant you are."
The two were bickering in the front seat, while Jiang Chen was in the back seat, concentrating on teasing his wife.
Ye Rou was annoyed by him and bit his fingertips, but he didn't get angry and just laughed softly.
Wang Honghong heard Brother Jiang laugh, and thought that Brother Jiang thought Meng Guan was talking nonsense. He turned to look at Brother Jiang and asked curiously, "Brother Jiang, what kind of company do you want to start in the future?"
Jiang Chen looked out the window at the crowded and stacked factories and company buildings and said, "Buy land, build houses, and then sell them to those who want to buy houses."
Meng Guan blinked, "Is it a real estate company? I've seen this type of company abroad."
"Yeah." Jiang Chen crossed his legs, put his hands in his pockets, and continued to tease his wife.
Wang Honghong sighed and said, "Brother Jiang, your idea is even more unreliable than ours. Now that the company has allocated housing, who would spend money to buy a house?"
Ye Rou shook her head when she heard Wang Honghong's words. 1978 was a special time node. From then on, the country's economy would officially enter a stage of rapid development.
Wang Honghong's record company, Meng Guan's conceptual mobile phone company, and Jiang Chen's real estate company will all be very profitable in the future.
Ye Rou rested her face on Jiang Chen's palm and began to think about what she would do in the future.
She was admitted to University A to study medicine, and maybe she would become a doctor after graduation. However, in this life, she studied Chinese medicine and wanted to promote it. Maybe she could open a Chinese medicine hospital in the future. It doesn't have to be too large, like the private clinics in later generations. This way, she can keep busy and have more free time.
Ye Rou had already begun to imagine how her clinic would be set up when she suddenly heard Wang Honghong say, "Brother Jiang, we're here."
Seeing the jeep coming, an ordinary-looking man wrapped in a coat came up and knocked on the window glass.
Wang Honghong rolled down the car window and asked, "Did anyone go in?"
The man nodded, "I went in, and I saw it clearly, it was that person."
"Not bad." Wang Honghong took out a big unity note from her pocket and handed it to the man.
The man took it and smiled happily, "Brother Hong, call me if you need anything like this next time."
After the man left, Meng Guan glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost time. The man should be here."
Ye Rou listened curiously and peeked into his pocket.
Jiang Chen stretched out his hand to block her, "You guys wait in the car."
He opened the car door, got out, walked into the alley, found a secluded place and carried his wife out.
"Hold it in?"
Ye Rou shook her head. She turned around in Jiang Chen's palm and looked around. The alleys in Beijing were interconnected with many twists and turns. There were low walls on both sides. Some of them had second floors with clothes hung on lines outside. It was a place full of life.
She asked curiously, "Jiang Chen, what are you doing here?"
"Join in the fun." Jiang Chen took out a key, opened the door of a courtyard, and walked in with a swagger.
Ye Rou climbed up Jiang Chen's clothes and onto his shoulders. She grabbed his ears to steady him and asked curiously, "Is this your house too?"
"It's yours." Jiang Chen replied to her. He had promised to give all the houses to Ye Rou. The house in Changdu Town and the courtyards in Jing City, the property ownership certificates were all written in Ye Rou's name.
"Mine?" Ye Rou looked at the yard. It didn't have the grandeur of the one they lived in now. Many people must have lived there in the past. It was a mess everywhere and looked very small. There was nothing special about it.
"How do you buy this yard?" Ye Rou asked him curiously.
"You'll know in a moment." Jiang Chen didn't explain immediately, but kept it a secret.
He carefully placed her on a table, moved a wooden ladder against the wall, then reached out and picked her up, climbing up the ladder with one hand.
He climbed up to the top of the wall. His wife was too small and light now, and he was afraid that a gust of wind would blow Ye Rou away, so he clenched his hands slightly and protected Ye Rou in his palms.
Ye Rou was also afraid that she would be blown away, so she crossed her legs, hugged one of his fingers, and tilted her head to look at the yard next door.
The yard next door is spacious and bright, with a small yard where some vegetables and flowers are planted.
There was a middle-aged couple in the yard, they were having breakfast.
"Who are they?" Ye Rou asked Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen raised the corner of his mouth in disdain, "Jiang Dehai and Qu Wanning."
Ye Rou's eyes suddenly widened.
