Several old ladies squatted under the window and eavesdropped curiously, wondering whether Hu Huihui was saying the opposite of what she meant. Just as they were wondering, they saw a pair of slippers appear in front of them. When they looked up, it was none other than Su Jinlai.
Su Jinlai said with a dark face: "A few old ladies, are you sick? Why are you eavesdropping under my window? Do you think I am easy to bully? No one would do things the way you do. Can't you have some manners? I am Su Jinlai, and you can't just spy on me and eavesdrop on me? If I see you peeking around here again, I will break your necks."
Aunt Zhou stiffened her neck and was about to retort, but Zhao Guihua quickly stopped her, saying that they were wrong in the first place.
She quickly said, "Jin Lai, it's our fault. I'm sorry."
He grabbed a bunch of old ladies and left quickly.
Su Jinlai raised his head proudly and said, "You guys are smart."
He turned around and cursed, "These old ladies have no manners. They hang around the compound all day long, just like trouble makers. I suspect they are ruining my reputation. Otherwise, how could a good young man like me... uh, cough, aunt, how did you hear about me?"
Hu Huihui didn't think much of these old ladies, but she didn't come here just for them, so she didn't take them to heart at all. She said, "Don't worry about them. I've heard about you. You don't know that your reputation, Su Jinlai, is well-known in the city, otherwise your aunt wouldn't have come to see you."
Su Jinlai: “!!!”
He hasn't even started to mix in society yet, but he's already made a name for himself? His eyes were full of smiles as he asked, "Aunt, what difficulties have you encountered that you need to resolve?"
Otherwise, how would you find him?
Hu Huihui shook her head: "That's not the case."
After a pause, she smiled meaningfully and said, "Auntie, I heard that your nickname is Big...Bird?"
Su Jinlai: “!!!”
His face darkened.
He thought about his own drunken foolishness, and when he looked at Hu Huihui again, he became more hostile. Wasn't this aunt too much? She came to my house to make fun of me? Is there any way to treat relatives like this? He said coldly, "Aunt, what do you mean by this?"
As soon as Hu Huihui saw Jin Lai's face change, she cursed in her heart, but when she thought about how this guy was not reliable when he was a child and was an ungrateful person, she was not surprised at all that this boy is like this now.
She smiled softly and said, "Look at you, there's nothing wrong with such a reputation, right? For a man, it's a good thing to have such a reputation. It's better than other things, right? I'm telling you the truth. I have a foreign friend who heard about your reputation and really wants to get to know you."
Su Jinlai: “……???????”
Is he so awesome that even foreigners want to make friends with him? Su Jinlai was a little confused for a moment, but then he became proud again. You see, he is so awesome. Even if he doesn't leave his house, he can still be famous in the city.
He crossed his legs proudly and said, "What a friend of yours, auntie. She has good taste."
Hu Huihui: “…”
She took a deep breath and said, "Your uncle-in-law and I are mainly tour guides now. We take some foreigners from abroad to travel around and appreciate our beautiful scenery. We also take them to buy some unique things. The foreigners I am talking about are our guests."
Actually, Hu Huihui didn't lie. Although his family's old Zheng used to be a leader, this was the territory of the Forty-Nine City. If a wall fell down and hit ten people, nine of them would have backgrounds. They didn't dare to be too arrogant. It was precisely because his family's old Zheng was still restrained. Although he was greedy for money, he didn't use ruthless hands and gave people a way out. offend many people. In the final reckoning, he was only dismissed.
It's not like some people just went in directly.
Since Old Zheng had stepped down, she was naturally sent back home and lost her job.
It was a coincidence that a neighbor of Hu Huihui's family was rehabilitated and had nothing to do at home. Hu Huihui was also at home with nothing to do, so they hooked up, or rather, started dating. This neighbor had a background of studying abroad, so Hu Huihui simply started to learn English from him.
What she thought was that it is always good to have many skills.
Hu Huihui knew what she wanted since she was a teenager, and it is no exception now. She knows that no matter what she learns, it will be hers, and she never knows when she will need it. Therefore, she has been studying very seriously.
Unexpectedly, this brought her an opportunity. Because of her half-baked English, Hu Huihui met a foreigner who was on business from abroad. Many people were very shy about this at that time, but Hu Huihui was quite courageous. She seized the opportunity and recommended herself to be a tour guide.
Not only did he act as a tour guide, he also took this guy to buy antiques, which made the foreigner very happy.
Although this is an antique, Hu Huihui knows it herself, it is a fake. They have confiscated a lot of things over the years. Her biggest advantage is that she is studious. She is not proficient in everything, but generally speaking, she can tell the good from the bad.
After all, she handled a lot of things and she was quite attentive to them.
But what does it matter? Whether it is true or false, the foreigner thinks it is true. Hu Huihui made a lot of money by colluding with others to sell fake goods to foreigners. From then on, she tasted the sweetness and specifically went to block some foreigners and recommended herself as a tour guide.
Of course, sometimes she also relies on these customers to introduce each other, so she can be considered to have a good "business". Although there are not many foreigners in Beijing now, isn't it the case that in her business, if she doesn't open for business for three years, she can make a living for three years after opening?
She didn't mean to sell fake antiques, but where could there be so many real ones? Did she go out of her way to buy them for others? That wouldn't be because she had nothing to do.
She is from the old city of Sijiu, and she has heard a lot of stories about foreigners coming to Sijiu to steal good things, so now she uses fake goods to cheat people, Hu Huihui has no guilt at all. Her business here is doing quite well.
She has recently come into contact with several wealthy women from abroad, who were introduced by her former clients.
According to her observation, these people just wanted to make a fortune and pick up bargains, so Hu Huihui was very rude in cheating them. Coincidentally, they went to eat local specialties recently, and happened to hear someone mention Su Jinlai.
This foreign rich woman has a rather unrestrained personality. Her eyes lit up instantly and she wanted to feel it.
This kind of thing, in fact, is not the first time that Hu Huihui has acted as a matchmaker. Anyway, as long as both parties are willing and pay enough, neither will suffer a loss. If they are not happy, Hu Huihui will not force them, she can always use sweet words to fool them.
She does things that are a little bit borderline, but if you say she is bad, that's not true.
It just so happened that Su Jinlai was her relative, so Hu Huihui took the initiative to come to him.
If it weren't for this, Hu Huihui really wouldn't be happy to come to Wang Xiangxiang. She always felt that Wang Xiangxiu was a little weird and had some bad luck. It wasn't that she was superstitious. Her good cousin had already knocked over so many people.
Hu Huihui has to be on guard.
That was why she chose to come on a day when Wang Xiangxiu was not around.
Could she not know that Wang Xiangxiu was at work at this time? She must have known, and she knew it with her toes, so she deliberately chose this time. Anyway, she didn't want to meet her good cousin.
Hu Huihui: "Look, my aunt is not lying to you. My aunt's friends heard that you are very talented, so they want to see you and pay you for your work. Although you are a little old, you are a man, so you will not suffer any loss! And you will also gain face if you tell others about it. Look, foreigners are coming here because of your reputation, don't you think so?"
She looked at Su Jinlai and said, "I heard that you are very capable, so shouldn't we let the foreigners see it too?"
She talks to people according to their opinions, and people like Su Jinlai have to flatter him.
"If you don't want people to know, no one will know. The foreign woman will be gone in two days." Hu Huihui smiled and said, "You only have the money from the three of them."
She pointed a finger.
Su Jinlai rolled his eyes, snorted, and said, "Ten dollars is shit."
The corners of Hu Huihui's mouth twitched: "..."
She wanted to curse at the kid, how ignorant he was.
She said, "What are you thinking? If it's ten dollars, will your aunt come to see you? Wouldn't that be looking down on you? Would it be worthy of your nickname?"
Su Jinlai asked curiously, "How much is that?"
He really has no knowledge of these things.
Hu Huihui: “One thousand yuan.”
Su Jinlai yelled out instantly: "How much?"
His eyes almost popped out of his head, and he looked at Hu Huihui in disbelief. He had never had so much money before. To be precise, from childhood to adulthood, the most money he had was less than ten yuan! This suddenly became one thousand... When he went to the countryside, his family only gave him one hundred yuan.
That's going to the countryside! He asked tremblingly: "You, you, you, you didn't lie?"
Hu Huihui: "I am your aunt. Although our two families don't interact much, I wouldn't lie to you, would I? Think about it, although we don't interact much, have I ever lied to you?"
Su Jinlai thought about it carefully and said, "That's not the case."
Hu Huihui: "That's right, and why wouldn't I find someone else for such a good thing? Isn't it because you are my nephew? I hope you can make money too. Otherwise, I can find someone else. They have only heard of this reputation and have never met the real person. I find a fake one to fool them, and they won't know. In this way, I can still make money. But now I am connecting you for free. One thousand yuan, I don't want a penny, not only that, there are extra benefits."
Su Jinlai was curious: "What is it?"
Hu Huihui: "Think about it, they must have had good food and drinks during their few days here, right? You followed them, so you also enjoyed it, right? There are Lao Mo's and Quanjude, which one you can't go to? Besides, they will take you to buy some clothes, right? Think about it, are there so many benefits?"
I have to say that Hu Huihui is very persuasive. Su Jinlai was immediately attracted to her, not for anything else but for the money.
He didn't hesitate at all and said, "Okay, I'll agree to this. I'm not doing this for money. It's easy for me to make money. I just want to teach this foreign woman a lesson."
Hu Huihui rolled her eyes in her heart, but smiled on the surface: "Yes, Auntie knows that you are a strong-willed child, and you have to be strong even in this kind of thing."
Hu Huihui: "So you're going out with your aunt now? I'll take you to buy two sets of clothes."
Su Jinlai: "Ah, you're buying clothes right now?"
Hu Huihui: "Of course, my nephew is no worse than a Hong Kong movie star, so he has to dress up nicely. Let's go!"
Hu Huihui looked at the steamed bread on the stove and said, "Look, how can you eat this? Auntie knows you don't care about this, but we have to eat better. Come on, Auntie will treat you to roast duck."
"good!"
Su Jinlai was really excited all of a sudden. He really didn't expect that there would be such a good thing.
At this time, Su Jinlai was really grateful to Monkey. If it wasn't for Monkey's Erguotou, how could he get drunk? If he wasn't drunk, how could he be so drunk? If it wasn't for being so drunk, how could he be so famous? So, thank Monkey for the Erguotou!
He excitedly followed Hu Huihui out, and as soon as he came out, he met Zhuang Zhixi. Zhuang Zhixi's family made meat patties. Zhao Guihua directly instructed her son to deliver the meal to the school. Although students could eat in the cafeteria at noon, if the food was good, some could be delivered.
Some children even go to get food specifically.
Zhuang Zhixi was sent out immediately. He muttered, "You weren't so nice to me when I was a child."
Zhao Guihua: "Just shut up and go quickly."
This is really a relationship between generations. For example, the three brothers and sisters of the Zhuang family have never experienced such good treatment, but their grandchildren are very much loved by Zhao Guihua. Tiger-headed little swallow, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are all well taken care of.
Zhuang Zhixi will be ordered to come out and deliver the meal.
He happened to run into Hu Huihui and greeted her with a smile: "Hello, long time no see. Are you going out?"
Hu Huihui nodded: "Yes, Jin Lai and I went out to have a meal together. I haven't seen Xiaozhuang for so many years, but he hasn't changed at all."
Hu Huihui looked at Zhuang Zhixi and was amazed at how he looked. Although they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, the years hadn't left many traces on his face. Even his temperament looked very handsome.
Although some people are good-looking, they tend to look a little tired as they age. However, Zhuang Zhixi is not like that at all and still looks very energetic.
She calculated that Zhuang Zhixi was in his early thirties, but you couldn't tell at all.
She is one or two years younger than Zhuang Zhixi, but in terms of appearance, if the two stand together, people will definitely guess that Zhuang Zhixi is younger. She must be Zhuang Zhixi's elder sister. This person looks young and handsome. She thinks that if Zhuang Zhixi and Jin Lai are compared together, anyone with eyesight will definitely prefer Zhuang Zhixi.
However, she just thought about it for a moment and then said goodbye to Zhuang Zhixi.
Although Zhuang Zhixi looked better, based on her brief understanding of the compound, he was not an easy person to deal with. She would not cause trouble for herself. Hu Huihui and Su Jinlai walked out of the alley together and took the initiative to call a taxi. Few people could afford a taxi now.
It was Su Jinlai’s first time riding in a car, and he was so excited that he felt like he was floating.
Man, you've seen the world.
He said, "Aunt, you are living too well now, aren't you? Taxi is not cheap."
Even though he always boasted that he was not short of money, he would still reveal what kind of person he was when it came to the critical moment. He touched the bike, his face flushed with excitement. Looking at Zhuang Zhixi riding the bike in the rearview mirror, Jin Lai felt that he had the capital to be arrogant.
What a wonderful day! He was so proud that he secretly wondered how envious and jealous Uncle Zhuang was, and he was so happy that his heart was bubbling.
He was right to think so, but he didn't know that Zhuang Zhixi didn't take them seriously at all. Hu Huihui claimed that she knew Zhuang Zhixi a little, and coincidentally, Zhuang Zhixi also felt that he knew Hu Huihui a little.
This person is very scheming, and he will not do anything without benefits.
She has not looked for Wang Xiangxiu's family for so many years, and it is obvious that she does not want to have anything to do with this family. But now she has come to Su Jinlai again. He knows that there must be something fishy without thinking too much. But no matter what the fishy thing is, it has nothing to do with him. He still has to feed the two greedy cats at home.
Sure enough, the two children got the meat patties and were so happy. Who doesn’t love delicious food?
Zhuang Zhixi not only sent meals to his children, but also sent meals to his wife.
After all this, Zhuang Zhixi found that he was more tired than working. He could slack off at work. But on this holiday, he went out to sell things in the morning and delivered meals everywhere at noon. This day was really tiring.
He rode his bike back and as soon as he got home, he saw all the old ladies in the yard gathered around his mother, discussing why Hu Huihui came.
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
You guys are really gossipy.
He simply went back to his room and took an afternoon nap, so that he could experience the joy of Su Jinlai who slept in broad daylight every day.
Today, Su Jinlai's joy was shopping. He himself had never thought that he could actually buy nice clothes. He was very proud. It was the first time he heard that a man could make money by sleeping with a woman.
Other men spend money outside.
He is just so different.
Su Jinlai was a man who could not hold back two ounces of oil. Although he did not say how he earned his money, he ate and drank well and bought new clothes. He showed off as soon as he came back. He bought a new suit and combed his hair like it had been licked by a cow.
Yinlai and Tong came to see and were really shocked.
Yin Lai: "Brother, please don't do anything illegal. If you steal and get caught, we won't care about you."
Tonglai: "I heard that my aunt came today. She has not been in touch with our family for a long time. Why did she come here suddenly?"
Su Jinlai: "Look at you guys, are you jealous of me? Are you jealous that I found a new job? Let me tell you, my aunt is now a tour guide for foreigners, and she asked me to come over to help her. I will be a respectable person in the future, and I said that with my ability, I can become rich, but you all didn't believe it. Now you know, right? I am not an ordinary person."
He was very proud and arrogant.
These people looked down on him, and they all thought he was a parasite. Now you know, right? He was the one who made the most money. As for being Hu Huihui's assistant, that was also true. Hu Huihui always had to have a name to make money for Su Jin.
Otherwise, what if others thought Su Jinlai stole something because of his reputation? After all, he had to have an explanation for his sudden wealth.
Hu Huihui didn't want to be implicated by Su Jinlai, this idiot, so she paved the way for him.
Su Jinlai didn't understand Hu Huihui's thoughts. Anyway, he felt that Hu Huihui was the one who paid, so whatever she said was the truth. As long as the money was not less, it was fine.
Jinlai was only interested in showing off and didn't have much brains at all, but Tonglai and Yinlai looked at each other and felt that this was not right. When they were going through the most difficult times, their aunt didn't even offer to help them, so how could she help them now? They thought this was not right.
Tonglai said bluntly: "What on earth does she want you to do? I tell you, if you break the law, I will expose you. Don't cause trouble for me."
This is said in a very serious manner and not a joke at all.
Jin Lai was furious: "I knew it, I knew you must be jealous of me. You exposed me? What did you expose? What did I break the law? I just slept with a woman, it's not illegal at all."
Silver and copper came: "..."
The two of them didn't know what to say. Seeing their expressions, Jin Lai said, "I'm a man, I won't suffer any loss, so just mind your own business."
With a bang, he slammed the door and walked out.
Tonglai rubbed his temple and said, "He is really good at causing trouble."
After a pause, he said, "I'll go ask Uncle Lan about this situation."
It wasn't that he wanted to tell others about his family's affairs, but this was the situation in his family. He was already the smartest one in his family. But he still had no experience in this kind of thing. As for his mother and brother, they were even worse. So Tonglai could only find the person he trusted the most and thought had the most experience, Grandpa Lan.
Tonglai went to the Lan family. He was not afraid of what Grandpa Lan would say. Although Grandpa Lan looked a bit out of tune, he was the most tight-lipped person. Tonglai told Grandpa Lan about his family's troubles directly, rubbing his temples with melancholy, and said, "Grandpa Lan, do you think our family will be in trouble with this situation?"
Lan Sihai saw Tong Lai's anxiety, thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "I don't think it's a big problem. Your brother is making money with his body outside, is that what you mean?"
Tonglai nodded.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he could tell that this was the case.
Lan Sihai: "This kind of thing is actually consensual, and it's quite private. The woman will definitely not make it public, so there will definitely be rumors. But no matter when, no one can say your brother has a problem without evidence. It's definitely embarrassing, but doesn't he want you to be embarrassed now? It's the same, it's okay if you just stay calm."
"Will that affect my college entrance exam?"
Lan Sihai: "No, whether you can pass the exam to go to university depends on your grades, not your brother's reputation. In the past, some remote places would block the college entrance examination due to class background. But now it's 1982, there is no such thing. Even if he goes to jail, it should have nothing to do with you, and I see that the policy is getting looser every year. You are only in the first year of high school now, and you will take the college entrance examination in examination 1984. I think the policy will definitely be more relaxed. What you should think about is how to study hard. Only if you don't study well will it affect you, and he won't."
He smiled and said, "The main thing is that he seems to be out of tune, and he is sure to do some embarrassing things, but I think you should be used to it. Does our compound still care about this? If you let these rumors affect your state, then there is a problem. There is really nothing else. The main thing is that you have to keep yourself stable. Your family should eat and drink as they should, and live as they should. Your brother can jump around if he wants. There were many people who jumped around in our compound before. And let me tell you something unpleasant, even if your eldest brother is embarrassing, can he be more embarrassing than your grandmother?"
This was unpleasant to hear, but it really enlightened Tonglai.
Tonglai nodded: "It's true."
Lan Sihai patted his shoulder and said, "As a person, you don't have to care too much about what others think of you. Take your brother for example. I don't think he has the guts to do something unscrupulous. The only things he can do are despicable and embarrassing. Don't be afraid."
Tong Lai smiled: "I understand. Then I also know how to comfort my family."
Lan Sihai nodded and said, "Stay calm."
"good."
Tonglai was convinced and indeed became much calmer.
Zhuang Zhixi originally thought that the Su family would make a huge fuss, but as Su Jinlai slammed the door and left, and Tonglai asked for help outside the venue, he quickly calmed down. He secretly told his wife: "I thought it was just a gossip, but it turned out not to be, and I suddenly felt dumb."
Mingmei glared at him: "Be a decent person, please."
Zhuang Zhixi shrugged and laughed, but soon, he hugged his wife with a playful smile and said, "I'm going on a business trip the day after tomorrow. You have to be good today..."
Mingmei nudged him with her arm and said, "Be a good person."
Zhuang Zhixi felt wronged: "Wife, why did you hit me? I started to feel sad before I even left, but you were so cold. It really hurts my heart."
Mingmei snorted softly and said, "I haven't even told you about my worries, but you're already talking. I'm telling you, when you're out, don't mess around. Don't think you can do whatever you want when you're out of town. If I find out that you're messing around outside, I'll break your third leg and let you stay with Zhou Qun and Bai Fightun. From now on, you'll be the third eunuch in the compound."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'm not that kind of person."
Mingmei snorted and said, "Whether it's true or not, I have to warn you. If you dare to let me down, I won't be polite. You know my character. If you dare to make some mistakes, I will make sure you regret it for the rest of your life. I will punish you like it's fun."
Mingmei is not someone who often says harsh words, but when it comes to ability, she does have it.
She poked Zhuang Zhixi's chest and said seriously, "You are out there, no matter if other people are serious or not, you have to be serious for me."
Zhuang Zhixi raised his hand and swore: "I promise that I will never make mistakes based on principle."
He wasn't afraid, only people with guilty consciences would be afraid. He was a decent man, what was there to worry about? He put his arm around his wife and said, "I won't do anything rash this time, you can rest assured. In fact, I want to have a good look around when I go there. It is said that there are private factories over there, and the purchase prices of many things are low. Some of the vendors here go to the south to purchase goods, and I really want to go over and take a look. Oh, yes, you give me some money, I'll bring more money, and if there is anything suitable, I plan to trade some. Anyway, I'm going there, and maybe I can make some money."
Mingmei looked at Zhuang Zhixi in surprise and asked, "Aren't you going with your boss? You will be packed with bags when you come back. Is that okay?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "What's wrong with that? I'm in the publicity department, not the sales department. I don't go on business trips very often. This is a rare opportunity for me to go out on a business trip and want to buy more things. It's okay, right?"
Mingmei: “It seems so.”
Mingmei burst out laughing, and Zhuang Zhixi also laughed and said, "It's really nothing."
"Okay, I'll get you the money."
After a pause, Mingmei thought for a moment and said, "You can also ask your mother-in-law if she wants to buy anything. When you go out, take whatever you can."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Well, I know this. This old lady has quite a lot of little secrets."
Mingmei laughed softly. She knew why, but she didn't say it, hehe.
"As their children, we just need to listen. Why ask so many questions? They have experienced more than we have." Mingmei is like this. If someone cares about her, she is willing to follow the path others have taken.
As a person, you don't have to be so strong.
Anyway, she lived a good life.
Zhuang Zhixi: "What you said does make sense."
Mingmei said coquettishly: "Of course."
Zhuang Zhixi was getting ready to go out, and Mingmei naturally did not confiscate the money he earned from selling the radio. Zhuang Zhixi happily saved up some of his own money, hoping that when he came back from the south, his wife would not even remember this.
In fact, it's very obvious whether Mingmei remembers it or not.
Men, you can't leave large sums of money on them, otherwise they might spend it recklessly.
What's more, the next day, before Zhuang Zhixi looked for his mother, Zhao Guihua called Zhuang Zhixi over. After she checked outside to make sure no one was eavesdropping, she quietly gave Zhuang Zhixi some gold jewelry. Zhuang Zhixi: "..."
In broad daylight, with the doors and windows closed, Zhuang Zhixi asked mysteriously, "Mom, where did you come from?"
Zhao Guihua sneered: "You don't know?"
Zhuang Zhixi said innocently: "How should I know?"
Zhao Guihua chuckled and said, "Stop pretending. I don't believe you haven't had any doubts."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed and finally told the truth, saying, "It must be something hidden in our stove."
Zhao Guihua said to him, "Don't you know this? I guessed that you have suspected me for a long time. You are a man with many tricks."
She told the truth: "I took this from the toilet. It was hidden by Yu Baoshan. He stole it when he searched the house. I took advantage of the situation. Only your father and I know about this. Now you are involved too."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Actually, I have some doubts."
Because Yu Baoshan went crazy because he couldn't find anything, his family had just built a stove a few days before. Obviously, this was not necessary. And the two brothers could do it, but his mother let his father do it alone. At that time, he just looked at it a few more times, and his mother scolded him, so Zhuang Zhixi was very suspicious at the time.
But there are some things that shouldn't be said, so he never said them.
Later, when he moved to a new house, he found that the stove in his room had been moved again, which made him even more suspicious.
But he didn't even tell Mingmei, not because he didn't believe Mingmei, but because there was no need to tell her. He himself was doubtful, so what was the point of telling her so much? If he guessed wrong, wouldn't it be a false alarm? So he never told her.
But he didn't expect that his mother actually took it out.
Zhao Guihua: "I'll tell you the truth, there are still gold bricks in your stove, I didn't take them out, I just took out some of them and planned to secretly cash them in. This thing is useless if it's just left there, but if it's cashed in, it can make our family live a better life."
If it were an antique, there would be a point in keeping it. But the gold, silver and jewelry actually don't have much added value. Although they are beautiful, they can't be called antiques.
Zhuang Zhixi was surprised: "I still have some?"
He thought his mother had been poached. This really trusted him.
Not only did I tell him, but he also had some.
Zhao Guihua: "Also, this matter is known only to you, your father and me, so don't tell anyone. Your eldest brother doesn't know. I didn't want him to know. He's not as cunning as you are. It would be bad if he knew too much and showed it to others. But I'm not giving all of this to you. I will have other uses for it when the time comes. If you want to do business, I can give you some money. We, as parents, cannot help but support you. But if you don't do business, I plan to buy a house slowly in a few years. When I buy the house, I'll give you a share. Even if you have no future, you can still be a landlady."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I understand."
Zhao Guihua: "Take these pieces of jewelry with you and sell them when you go to the south. Of course, if it is inconvenient, don't sell them. If it is convenient, sell them. It's up to you."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay."
Zhao Guihua: "I don't want to sell this thing in Sijiucheng. Gold bricks are fine, but this kind of jewelry looks very special. I'm afraid people will recognize it. We are all from Sijiucheng. If someone recognizes us, they will investigate the batch of things hidden in Yu Baoshan ten years ago. It will be bad if someone finds out that we have good things at home."
This is also the reason why she gave the jewelry to Zhuang Zhixi. The main reason is that this kind of thing looks very unique and it is hard to be recognized by others. Who knows whose family Yu Baoshan took it from? But the family whose jewelry was taken away may have relatives who know what is missing. If they think about the confiscation of the family and Yu Baoshan.
Also, when Yu Baoshan went crazy, he said that the gold, silver and jewelry he had hidden were lost, so Zhao Guihua was unwilling to take the risk.
But it’s different when you take it abroad.
She said: "If you can sell it, sell it. If you can't, forget it. Don't force it. And pay attention to safety. I don't want you to get hurt because of these junk."
Zhuang Zhixi said seriously: "I know."
"Use the money from the sale to buy some things for your family. Keep the rest. I see that you need money to trade those Clivias. Don't always ask your wife for money. Your family has a lot of expenses."
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Mom, you are so generous."
Zhao Guihua sighed quietly: "Who wouldn't want their family to live a better life if conditions permit? Is it a disease to suffer when you can live a good life?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “That’s true.”
It's not that Zhao Guihua favors the third child. She treats all three children equally. The reason why she told Zhuang Zhixi was because this boy was smart and seemed to have seen everything. She just said it to let him confirm it.
As for the other two, the eldest brother's mental quality is not good. Zhao Guihua is afraid that the boy will be scared and lose his hair if she tells him. In the previous life, the relationship between the two brothers was average, but no matter how average, they are still brothers. Zhuang Zhixi is dealing with Clivia, and he can keep calm. Zhuang Zhiyuan is worried about Zhuang Zhixi and loses his hair and becomes bald due to anxiety.
This person has poor mental quality.
So Zhao Guihua didn't want to tell this person at all. Besides, she was also somewhat wary of Liang Meifen. Although she looked different from her previous life, she still had to be careful. If she told the third son not to tell his wife, Zhuang Zhixi would be able to keep quiet. But if she told the eldest son not to tell his wife, he might talk in his sleep.
Zhao Guihua doesn't gamble.
As for the second child, Zhixin, she was not around and only came back once every few years. She couldn't say anything.
With her two sons around, she did give more, but she didn't dote on her daughters. She also sent a lot of things to Zhuang Zhixin every year, but not excessively.
The main thing is that she knows her son-in-law. He is a paramecium, with linear thinking. People who have been in the army for a long time will become simple. If she acts much richer than she actually is, this guy will definitely suspect that she is up to no good.
So Zhao Guihua didn't help her daughter too much. Of course, she also knew that her daughter and son-in-law had good salaries and their living conditions were definitely good. Zhao Guihua thought about it and decided not to jump too much in the next few years. She would definitely sell the gold, silver and jewelry later and buy a house for her daughter.
By then, the policies will be different and there will be more people doing business. It would make sense for her to buy a house using the money she saved from business.
For this reason, she plans to set up a stall every now and then. No matter whether she makes money or not, she will say that she makes money. It is a way to make money. Zhao Guihua feels that she is in a very difficult situation.
Who made this era like this?
If your family gets rich for no reason, even the old ladies in the alley would keep an eye on you.
Zhao Guihua: "Alright, I don't need to say anything more, you understand, just leave. Keep your mouth shut."
Zhuang Zhixi nodded: "Okay."
The family really didn't know anything about the conversation between Zhao Guihua and Zhuang Zhixi. Zhuang Zhixi didn't say much because he had promised his mother. He just did what he was supposed to do. As for keeping it all for himself? I'm a man after all. I wouldn't do that.
Zhuang Zhixi packed his luggage, and the day of his business trip soon arrived. He only prepared a handbag and met with everyone on the morning of the business trip. As a member of the Propaganda Department, Zhuang Zhixi was familiar with everyone in the factory and could call them by name, but they had no private contact with each other.
However, courtesy is not a bad thing. Zhuang Zhixi greeted everyone one by one, and went directly to get the sleeper berths that the factory had reserved for them in advance. He was the first to get on the train and find seats for everyone. The group quickly got on the train. There were six people in a carriage. Zhuang Zhixi and three employees from the sales department stayed in another private room, and several leaders just lived in one room. Zhuang Zhixi took the initiative to get hot water for them. Deputy Director Zhang smiled and said, "You're busy as soon as you get on the train. Thank you."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Well, this is what I should do. We are all on a business trip together this time. Everyone has a heavier task than me. My task is the lightest. I should provide logistical services for everyone and do some small things within my ability."
He smiled and poured hot water into each cup. When going out, everyone had a thermos cup.
Zhuang Zhixi poured the water, then went to get a kettle of hot water, and said, "Leaders, please call me if you need anything. The dining car sales hours are..."
He took the initiative to point it out, and then said: "If you want to take a break, I can buy it directly and send it to you when the time comes."
Deputy Director Zhang was the most polite. He smiled and said, "No, we'll play poker for a while. We won't rest."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay, I'll go over first."
He returned to their private room, which was not full yet, with only four of them. Zhuang Zhixi did not neglect them because they were not leaders, and continued to fetch water as usual. But this time he changed his words: "I'm the youngest, let me do it."
Logically speaking, the sales department and their publicity department are at the same level. Although the sales department has more opportunities to travel, since they are at the same level, there is no one higher than the other. Everyone is happy with him and feels respected.
It wasn't that Zhuang Zhixi was acting like a grandson. He was only away for a few days, so there was no need for him to be unhappy. He was just a guest this time. And because they were not in the same department, there was no competition between them, so they could get along well.
Why not do a little thing to create a relaxing atmosphere along the way?
Zhuang Zhixi was good at talking, and soon he got along well with everyone, making the atmosphere lively.
The sales department has many opportunities to travel and see a lot of places, so it is inevitable that they talk about the customs and practices of various places. Zhuang Zhixi was very happy to listen. They had also been to Guangzhou more than once. Before the train arrived, they began to introduce the places to Zhuang Zhixi. Zhuang Zhixi listened particularly carefully and asked questions occasionally. This kind of cooperation made everyone talk more happily.
"Xiao Zhuang, your publicity department is not busy, right? It's not like us, who are always on business trips and often travel outside throughout the year."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Who said we are not busy? Our Propaganda Department is different from you. We don't go on business trips, but we need to publicize documents sent down from above, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things. If you list them in detail, it really feels like we haven't done much. But if you summarize them, it's really a lot of things."
He said: "Everyone is busy with their own things."
"That's right, you still have to use your pen. If you ask me to drink and talk business, I can do it, but I can't do this."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed: "That's also your advantage."
"Oh, by the way, Lao Wang mentioned drinking and I remembered, Xiao Zhuang, I heard that there was a kid over there who got drunk and took off his clothes on the street?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Hey, you all know this?"
"Well, how could I not know? It's so lively over there..."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed out loud and said, "That's true, but it's normal for young people to lose control after drinking a little..."
You can't say that Su Jinlai is a big fool.
Zhuang Zhixi was talking enthusiastically. Su Jinlai was wearing a suit and leather shoes, spotless leather shoes, and his hair was fly-slicked. He was dressed very decently and followed Hu Huihui. Hu Huihui said, "They only know a few simple Chinese words. They don't understand much else. You just need to follow them and listen to them. Anyway, you don't need your aunt to explain the things between men and women in detail, right?"
Su Jinlai said proudly: "Of course not."
This isn't the first time for him either.
He has slept with Guan Hong.
"Also, they will only be here for two or three days, so they won't need you for many days. But we are all relatives, so I have to remind you, don't think you can do anything just because you are young. When you go home, you have to let your mother take good care of you."
Su Jinlai looked at Hu Huihui in confusion. Hu Huihui said, "You should drink some nourishing soup. Make some old turtle soup or chicken soup. You should nourish yourself if you need to. Otherwise, you will be drained at such a young age. Do you still remember Zhou Qun from your yard? Why did he become such a wretch later? I heard that it was because he had too many affairs with old women when he was young."
After all, they are relatives, so Hu Huihui was quite honest: "After this time, you should take a rest for a while, don't go out and mess around with other girls, take good care of yourself, otherwise you will be ruined."
Su Jinlai was very disapproving. Who was he and who was Zhou Qun? Why were they compared together? Could Zhou Qun beat him?
Humph! He said, "I'm not a loser like Zhou Qun."
Hu Huihui said word by word: "Don't take it lightly. Everyone has been young before. I'm saying this because you're my nephew. If it was someone else, I wouldn't care whether you live or die."
This person doesn't know what's good for him.
Su Jinlai pursed his lips. He suddenly remembered something. He had been following Hu Huihui for the past two days, but he didn't see her man.
"Why isn't your uncle with you?"
Hu Huihui was very calm: "Oh, it just so happened that a few people came recently. I asked him to stay there with them."
Su Jinlai: “……………………”
He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Then he looked at his aunt and felt that she was a ruthless person. She even used her own man? "That..."
Hu Huihui: "It's not like we don't want to pay. It's just right for him to go."
Su Jinlai: “………………”
He fell silent.
Hu Huihui didn't care what he was thinking and led the group upstairs. She came to the door and knocked. The door opened and a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties appeared. She had blonde hair and a strong build. As soon as she opened the door, she fixed her eyes on Su Jinlai.
That look makes him want to eat someone.
Immediately afterwards, two more women appeared. The three women were about the same age and all stared at Su Jinlai.
Hu Huihui smiled and said to the leading woman, "Mary, look, this is the guy I told you about. He's great."
Mary laughed and looked Su Jinlai up and down. Suddenly, Su Jinlai became unhappy. He was frightened by the wolf-like stare of this foreign woman and stepped back immediately, "I, I, I..."
Woo woo woo, he is not happy.
This woman looks older than his mother.
He doesn't want to earn this money anymore, not at all.
One is enough, and there are three. He, he, he, he is scared!
He kept backing away: "No, no, no, I can't..."
Mary immediately looked at Hu Huihui, spread her hands, and looked confused.
Could Hu Huihui not see what Su Jinlai meant? He was just chickening out at the last minute! What a coward!
Hu Huihui quickly grabbed the man and said, "Let me tell him something."
She whispered, "This is one thousand yuan, which is one thousand kilograms of meat. You can't eat it all. You can also buy a lot of rice, flour and oil. Your whole family can eat fine grains, which can't be eaten up in a year. Do you know how much this money is? Your mother will have to work officially for at least two or three years. You can get it after a few naps. It's all yours. You don't want it? You still want to go back to eat steamed buns? You are not a little girl, you are a grown man, you won't suffer a loss, right? Just tell me, do you want to do it or not! If you don't want to do it, I will find someone else, I will give 500 yuan, and I can still have 500 yuan left for myself!"
Although Su Jinlai wanted to back out very much, when he thought about the money, he felt that he was reluctant to do so and could not afford it.
Hu Huihui continued: "Others have to pay to sleep with women, but you make money by sleeping with women. Let me tell you, they are willing to pay a thousand yuan just because they heard about your reputation of having a big dick. Even if you want to encounter such a thing in the future, you won't be able to do it, understand? You won't be able to do it! I didn't give this good thing to others, because I didn't treat you as an outsider! Think about it carefully, do you want to do it or not!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "One thousand, one thousand, one thousand! Do it!"
He gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and followed the woman into the door. Soon, his scream was heard: "Ah..."
Hu Huihui: "Fuck, that's too loud."
She leaned against the corridor wall and tried to light another cigarette.
In fact, she did nothing wrong. For someone like Jin Lai, who can't do anything, is always picky and always has a lot of problems, it's better to make the best use of it than to live like this. At least she really earned a thousand yuan.
She was tempting Su Jinlai just now, but what she said was not true. Given his family's conditions, this thousand yuan could support a lot of things. How much could her cousin earn from men before? It was only one percent.
Moreover, if it wasn't her nephew, she really didn't plan to find Su Jinlai. Wouldn't it be better to find a fake one and peel off a layer of skin? As for Su Jinlai, he couldn't even please a woman and thought highly of himself. In fact, she was in a difficult situation.
If Su Jinlai doesn't perform well, it will affect her business. She is really very practical.
Besides, she really didn't make any money. She just wanted to please these people and buy fake antiques.
She paid for all the clothes that Su Jinlai bought.
It's not easy for her either.
Hu Huihui leaned in the corridor, feeling very melancholy.
Anyway, she felt that she had done a good thing by finding Su Jinlai, but she didn't know whether Su Jinlai understood her painstaking efforts. She sighed quietly, went downstairs silently, and came to the coffee shop on the first floor. There was a coffee shop here because there were many foreign guests, and there was no other place like this.
Hu Huihui doesn't think anything is good about the drink, but she always orders a cup every time she comes. Foreigners like it, so she always pretends to have one.
I really can't get used to this without more practice.
She drank her coffee, wondering whether Su Jinlai was really useful or just a facade.
If it doesn't work, it's all over.
At this time, Su Jinlai was crying aggrievedly. He didn't want to do this job anymore. It was so hard to make money.
"Baby, come again~"
Su Jinlai: "Wuwuwuwu, help!"
With three people, he really can't do it!
Money is hard to earn, but shit is hard to eat! …………
Tonglai came back from school and met Aunt Zhou, who was washing clothes in the yard. When she saw him coming back, she asked, "Tonglai, your brother hasn't come back yet. What happened? Did he run away from home? Does he have a place to stay?"
Tong said: "He may have gone to my aunt's place."
Aunt Zhou rolled her eyes and asked, "Then why did your aunt think of introducing him to a job? Haven't you two been in contact for so many years?"
Why did she feel that something was wrong?
Tonglai: "Yeah, we didn't have any contact before, but my eldest brother has been unemployed. My aunt didn't want to see my family suffer, so she came to introduce a job to my eldest brother."
He ended the topic with a smile and just said, "Aunt Zhou, I'm going back to review my lessons."
After a pause, he continued, "By the way, there's a store selling sugar-roasted chestnuts at the entrance of the alley."
Aunt Zhou wiped her hands quickly when she heard this: "Ah, my little Qijin really likes this. I have to go buy some."
"Are they not finished school yet?"
He has finished school for his first year of high school.
"They went to the Children's Palace after school today." Aunt Zhou said, and hurried out. She had to buy something that her grandson liked. She didn't bother to chat, and hurried out. Tonglai returned home, leaned against the door, and sighed sadly!
