Chapter 245 But you are my savior!
"Godfather, Cuicui kowtows to you."
“.”
"Godfather, Cuicui kowtows."
Jin Peng, Wang Jianqiang and Li Ye took turns sitting on the chairs and accepted Hao Cuicui's kowtow. From then on, they had a new goddaughter.
The older generation appoints godfathers because they want the children to be easier to raise and healthy in the future, so there are many mysterious rules.
After discussion, Jin Peng and others simplified the ceremony a lot.
The six-year-old Hao Cuicui knelt down obediently and kowtowed three times to Jin Peng, Wang Jianqiang and Li Ye. She then gave each of them a new set of shoes, hats and clothes, and the ceremony was completed.
Of course, the red envelopes given by the godfather to the goddaughter are also indispensable.
Hao Cuicui bent her legs and knelt on the ground, knocking her little head against the ground several times. Her forehead only turned slightly red, but she received a huge sum of three thousand yuan.
Based on the economic level in 1983, Hao Cuicui, with 3,000 yuan, was already a wealthy woman.
After the ceremony, men and women naturally sat at separate tables, with the men drinking and the women chatting.
Today, Wang Jianqiang also brought his "good sister" Huang Suwen over. Her crisp Beijing dialect chattering made the atmosphere at the women's table three times more lively than that at the men's table.
Jin Peng couldn't help but ask Wang Jianqiang: "Qiangzi, how far have you and the Huang family's sister come? Can you bring her back for your mother to see this year?"
Wang Jianqiang blushed immediately, and after a long time of hesitation, he said, "I don't know what it's called.
Anyway, I don’t have to wash clothes or cook for myself now, but I don’t know if she is happy to take her back to Dongshan.”
"Well! You are such a blockhead, you are trying to force someone to propose marriage to you!"
“It’s not that I don’t know, I just don’t dare to ask.”
"Do I even need to ask? Your sister-in-law is engaged to me, but she doesn't wash my clothes on weekdays. Go ask the Huang family's sister, besides washing clothes for her family, who else has she washed clothes for?"
Jin Peng couldn't help but laugh and curse out loud. In this day and age when there is still a barrier between men and women, if a girl has no interest in Wang Jianqiang, no matter how smart she is, she won't wash clothes and cook for him.
"Okay, let's not talk about these trivial matters. Hao Jian, tell us about your gains from the Canton Fair!"
Li Ye turned to look at Li Dayong, and seeing that his expression was indeed not right, he took the initiative to change the subject.
Hao Jian sorted out his thoughts and said, "This time we signed a contract worth 2.78 million US dollars, but because of our exhibition qualifications, they can only allocate us 20% of the foreign exchange.
However, I got in touch with a foreign trade person and asked him to help us import some second-hand sewing equipment from Hong Kong Island. It only costs a small handling fee.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Fan Xiuling has complained many times that our sewing equipment is too backward and the workmanship of many garments does not meet the design standards."
"After this calculation, we estimate that we will have at most 150,000 to 180,000 US dollars in foreign exchange reserves. Li Ye, do you think we should keep it as operating funds? Or should we share it?"
Hao Jian looked at Li Ye and hesitated to speak, hoping that Li Ye would make the right decision.
If it was his own wish, he would naturally want to divide the $150,000. US dollars are very useful these days.
Li Dayong, who had been extremely depressed just now, also opened his eyes wide and became alert.
Pengcheng Factory No. 7 actually has US dollars?
And it’s $150,000?
Even though Li Dayong is a "small shareholder", he can still get 15,000 US dollars.
Li Dayong knew that since Lin Qiuyan got the place to study abroad, she had been looking for people to exchange foreign currency for her.
Let’s put it this way, if a thousand dollars were placed in front of Lin Qiuyan, her eyes would be more affectionate than the ones she looked at Li Dayong.
What if fifteen thousand dollars was placed in front of Lin Qiuyan?
But Li Ye's next words made Li Dayong deflate like a punctured balloon.
"What can we do with $150,000? Are you going to buy a car or a house? Hao Jian, don't you see the gap between us and the rest of the world?"
Li Ye said seriously: "We are now in a position of lagging behind and catching up, so every penny must be spent wisely.
Which of our anti-counterfeiting production equipment and sewing equipment upgrades do not require foreign exchange? Did you go to the Yangcheng Light Industry Research Institute last time and receive you?
But what if you take the foreign exchange? Even if you can improve our domestic sewing machines, it can also promote our productivity, right? "
"Also, I have to remind you," Li Ye said in a low voice, "The current situation is still unclear, so you all need to keep a low profile and admit that you are a millionaire. Don't call yourself Hao Baiwan or Jin Baiwan."
“.”
Jin Peng chuckled, touched his scalp and said nothing.
He was glad that he was not in a hurry just now. If he had said that he wanted to share the money and use foreign exchange to buy an imported car, he might have been scolded by Li Ye now.
Li Dayong, on the other hand, lowered his head, dejected and silent.
While everyone is working hard, what have you done?
. . . . . . .
After eating and drinking, Wang Qiangdong drove the clanging Beijing 130 to take Li Ye, Wen Leyu and Li Dayong back to school.
Li Dayong originally wanted to ride his own bicycle back, but he had drunk a lot of wine. Li Ye threw his bicycle into the cargo bed of the 130 without saying a word and pulled him into the back driver's seat of the 130.
When they arrived at Beijing Industrial College, Li Ye whispered to Wen Leyu, "Wait for five minutes. I'll take Dayong back."
Wen Leyu nodded in agreement, and her well-behaved appearance made Li Dayong feel uncomfortable again.
Why is the difference so big?
Li Ye walked Li Dayong a few steps away, took out a stack of US dollars and stuffed it into Li Dayong's hand without saying anything.
"Brother, you don't need this. You don't need this."
"Okay, this is my royalties, you can use it first!"
Li Ye looked at the troubled Li Dayong and sighed, "Dayong! I admit that perfect love is hard to come by.
We are brothers, I support you in whatever you want to do, but I still want to advise you that love is about mutual consideration, not one-sided flattery.
Don’t always think about giving your heart to the other person to prove your love for him. Someone who truly loves you will not let you give your heart to him. "
"Give her this thousand dollars and see what she can give you. Then decide for yourself whether it's worth it."
Li Dayong felt the US dollars given by Li Ye were extremely hot.
"Brother, she's actually not a bad person, she just has a bad temper."
"It's enough that you have a bad temper, what else do you want?"
"Then if I give her US dollars, what do you think she should give me?"
"She gave you a shot, f**k, figure it out yourself!"
“.”
. . . . . . .
Beijing Bus 130 arrived at Peking University. Wen Leyu and Li Ye got off the bus and walked around Weiming Lake hand in hand.
"Li Dayong seems to be very abnormal today, and he has lost a lot of weight. Is it because of Lin Qiuyan?"
Although Wen Leyu usually ignores everyone and only treats Li Ye nicely when she was at the Erliangdian, she actually cares about several of her classmates because of her experience at the Erliangdian.
Li Ye sighed and said, "Yes! That Lin Qiuyan is going to study abroad, but Li Dayong failed the TOEFL test.
We just happened to ask about Wang Jianqiang and Huang Suwen at the table, and Dayong must be upset! "
"What is the relationship between Wang Jianqiang, Huang Suwen and Li Dayong?"
"Everything is afraid of comparison!" Li Ye shook his head and said, "Qiangzi told us that Huang Suwen now washes his clothes and cooks for him, and Qiangzi loves him very much.
And what about you, Wen Leyu? You are gentle, considerate, and never quarrel with me. In comparison, isn't Li Dayong wronged? "
“.”
"Hmph~"
Wen Leyu blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Ye for a long time before she twisted her lips and snorted, "Why should he feel wronged? He chose the person himself, so he has to bear the guilt himself. Who can he blame?"
Because there was a dispute between Lin Qiuyan and Jiang Xiaoyan at the Lantern Festival night market, Wen Leyu did not have a good impression of Lin Qiuyan.
It's just that Wen Leyu said bad things about Li Dayong, but her little body leaned towards Li Ye, rubbing against him, like a cat expressing its satisfaction to its owner.
Wen Leyu was just as Li Ye said. She never yelled at Li Ye. Even if she occasionally got a little angry, she would quickly and considerately resolve the issue.
But Wen Leyu always felt that this was what she should do. In her heart, Li Ye treated her, Wen Leyu, with care and concern.
There was a long queue for taking a shower at school. Li Ye specially renovated a high-end bathroom in Zaojun Temple. How many times did he use it himself? Wasn't it all for Wen Leyu?
She followed Li Ye to learn spear fighting just because she didn't want Wen Leyu to get calluses on her hands. Li Ye could sew soft leather gloves by himself, stitch by stitch. Is that a man's job?
And when did Li Ye ever yell at Wen Leyu?
Love is mutual. Wen Leyu's understanding of this sentence is so profound.
The two of them walked around the Weiming Lake for a long time, and while they were walking, Wen Leyu took out some colorful candies from his pocket.
"Hey, do you want some candy?"
"Huh? Where did you get the toffee?"
Because Wen Leyu likes sweets so much, Li Ye has been trying his best to control his appetite recently, and the types of fruits in the fruit lunch box are carefully selected and matched.
Wen Leyu said with some pride: "Cuicui gave it to me. She took out all the candies and asked Huang Suwen and me to choose. The little girl is very sensible."
Li Ye smiled and said, "Cuicui is a very timid child. She doesn't talk to me much. I didn't expect that she would get along well with you guys."
Wen Leyu nodded seriously and said, "I like Cuicui very much, and she likes me too."
Li Ye was a little surprised, because Wen Leyu never bothered to tell lies. If she said she liked Cuicui, then that meant she really liked Hao Cuicui.
Hao Jian and Jin Peng always felt that Wen Leyu was out of their reach, but who would have thought it would be like this.
Li Ye took a candy and put it in his mouth, savoring the sweetness that gradually melted away, while Wen Leyu's gentle voice came to his ears.
"I heard from Cuicui's mother today that if Hao Jian hadn't met you, Cuicui might have...
Anyway, Cuicui's mother said with tears in her eyes that you are Cuicui's savior, and you came from heaven to save her. It is only natural for Cuicui to call you godfather. "
"Don't talk nonsense! What savior? He even came down from heaven," Li Ye said with a smile, "When I first met Hao Jian, I didn't know he had a sick daughter! It's all just a coincidence."
Wen Leyu stopped immediately after hearing what Li Ye said.
She turned in front of Li Ye and made Li Ye face her.
Then Wen Leyu said tearfully: "But you are also my savior! Wasn't I also a Hao Cuicui back then?"
“.”
Li Ye, who had a calm mind, could not resist these intrusive words.
It turns out that Wen Leyu likes Hao Cuicui because they both have a difficult time.
Wasn’t Wen Leyu almost speechless at the beginning, as timid as Hao Cuicui, and just as unwilling to contact and communicate with others?
Li Ye opened his arms, held Wen Leyu in his arms, and patted her back gently.
"It's all in the past. Forget all the unpleasant memories. Otherwise, we still have decades of good life ahead of us, and our little heads can't hold so many beautiful memories!"
Wen Leyu did not resist this time. She even nudged her little head on Li Ye's shoulder and wiped her wet eyes.
The two hugged each other for a long time before returning to the dormitory together.
However, when they were almost at the girls' dormitory, Wen Leyu suddenly grabbed Li Ye's hand and turned to go to the boys' dormitory.
"Wrong way~"
"You're right. Take your dirty clothes down to me and I'll wash them for you."
“.”
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "No need, I can wash it myself. Besides, if you take it to the girls' dormitory, people will gossip about it."
"I'm afraid of gossip?" Wen Leyu raised his eyes and said, "Who dares to gossip about me?"
"How about this! When we go to Zaojun Temple on 1, 3 and 5, I'll take the dirty clothes over and you can help me wash them when you're free, okay?"
Wen Leyu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's do it. Remember to bring your socks with you."
“.”
It is not unfair for Li Dayong, the special brewer, to feel wronged. It would be strange if he didn't feel wronged.
