"I've been away for a few months, so busy tinkering with watches that I haven't paid attention to this aspect. Does our city have it?"
"Our city can't compare with the neighboring city. The economy doesn't allow it. If we want to have it, we'll probably have to wait another year or two."
"Then call Qian Xiaobao tomorrow and tell him you want to join. If 30,000 is not enough, we can add a little more. We can allocate 100,000 yuan to this project. The more houses we build, the better." Such a good thing, if you miss it, you will never get it again.
"Okay, I'll find a time to talk to him in detail. When he came to me, I wasn't sure if we had the money. So I didn't ask too much, I just got a rough idea."
…
After finishing the business, the two talked about what happened to each other in the past three months.
The next day, Yang Xiaobei called the number Qian Xiaobao left.
Qian Xiaobao was smoking in his room, his mind frantically focused on making money, making money, making money, hoping to get 60,000 yuan by March. Unfortunately, Qian Xiaobao racked his brains but couldn't come up with a good way to raise 30,000 yuan within a month. He'd asked everyone who could lend him money, and even if he worked tirelessly every day, the best he could get by March was 40,000 yuan, still 20,000 yuan short.
Qian Xiaobao took a deep drag on his cigarette, then exhaled, his face filled with resentment: "I finally got this news, this spot I finally got, and now I'm going to miss it like this? I really can't accept this."
Qian Xiaobao sighed deeply: Forget it, I'll leave it to fate and do my best. If I still can't raise 60,000 yuan, then I, Qian Xiaobao, am destined not to get rich, and I will return the borrowed money when the time comes.
Qian Xiaobao heard Aunt Ma's call: "Qian Xiaobao, there's a call for you. It's from Q City. The last name is Yang. Go and answer it quickly."
"Xiaobei? Could it be that Xiaobei's wife is back? Then what I asked him a few days ago is..." Qian Xiaobao's eyes lit up. "Xiaobei's wife gave up her government job to go into business. She must have a lot of insights into the economy. This project is a sure win, she must be interested."
Qian Xiaobao quickly put out his cigarette, opened the door and ran out quickly, thanking her enthusiastically as he ran, "Thank you, Aunt Ma. I'll treat you to some snacks later."
Aunt Ma looked at the man running like the wind: "..." Why are you so anxious? Why are you so excited? If the voice on the phone hadn't been a man, I would have thought you were in love.
Aunt Ma walked back happily: "I don't know what snack Qian Xiaobao will buy me this time. I hope it's egg cake, I love it. Asking Qian Xiaobao to answer the phone and getting a benefit every time is great.
When Qian Xiaobao heard the call, he immediately called back. At this moment, Qian Xiaobao was both excited and nervous.
"Hello, Xiaobei?"
"Yes, it's Xiaobao. Let me make it short. Do you still need funds for the thing you told me last time?"
"Yes, do you want to join?" Qian Xiaobao felt his heart in his throat.
"Very interested, how much funding do you need?"
"At least 20,000 yuan, do you have it?" Buddha Tathagata, Guanyin Bodhisattva, please bless Xiaobei's family with 20,000 yuan.
"have……"
Qian Xiaobao was so excited that he jumped up immediately, "Great, Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva showed up, haha..."
Yang Xiaobei: “…” What’s going on?
"What does my paying have to do with Tathagata Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
"No, no, I'm too excited, haha... In order to make money recently, I not only work hard, but also pray to gods and Buddhas. Thank you, brother, I really love you so much. Besides my mother, you are the most important person to me." Reborn parents!
"Stop being so cheesy, man. You're giving me goosebumps. I'll have nightmares about you tonight!" I have my darling wife, so get out of here, man.
"Haha... I'm so happy. You're like a ray of light, illuminating my future. How could I not be happy? How could I not be excited? I almost gave in just now."
"Okay, the phone bill is quite expensive, so I won't say anymore. Come to my place and we can talk things out face to face. The most important thing is to let my wife understand. This money was earned by my wife with hard work. Where did it go? How was it spent? My wife must know the answer." No matter how good or important a brother is, he is not as important as my wife.
"No problem, it's my duty. I'll pack up and buy a ticket to find you right away."
"Okay, when you get there, stay at the guesthouse closest to the Q City Public Security Bureau. I'll pick you up after get off work and we can have dinner at my house together."
"Okay, thank you Xiaobei."
"We are brothers, so let's not be so formal."
After hanging up the phone, Qian Xiaobao felt in an unprecedentedly good mood. He felt that even the air was filled with a sweet scent. Even the lazy dogs he usually saw seemed extraordinarily cute and beautiful in a unique way.
Qian Xiaobao gave Aunt Ma half a pound of her favorite egg cake and flattered her sweetly, which made Aunt Ma so happy that she couldn't even see her eyes. She repeatedly promised that if anyone called to look for Qian Xiaobao in the future, she would notify him immediately.
After Qian Xiaobao was ready, he immediately took the bus to Q City.
Yang Xiaobei took time to come back at noon and told Jiang Shushu that Qian Xiaobao would come in the evening. He asked Jiang Shushu to add two more dishes. The two of them would be back around 6:00 in the evening.
In the afternoon, Jiang He and his wife continued to pull the cart to the post office to pick up the express, while Jiang Shushu went to buy vegetables.
After getting the express delivery, Jiang He and his wife opened the package themselves without Jiang Shushu telling them, because Jiang Shushu told them in advance what was in the package, so Jiang He and his wife could accept it when they saw that they each had two more pairs of shoes for each season.
After everyone took their shoes back to the house, Jiang Shushu gave the extra pair to Jiang Huamei, "Sister Huamei, this is a gift for you, a pair of shoes. I hope you like it."
Jiang Huamei was already very happy and satisfied after getting a big bag of snacks yesterday. She didn't expect she would also get a pair of new shoes, which made her even happier. "I like them, I like them. Thank you, Shushu. These shoes are really nice, warm and beautiful."
Jiang Huamei recognized this pair of shoes because she had seen them in a department store. They were sold there for 16 yuan, which was more than half a month's salary for her.
The longer Jiang Huamei stayed at Jiang Shushu's house, the more she felt that her original decision to recommend herself was right.
Jiang Shushu plans to cook dinner by herself and prepare six dishes and a soup to entertain the guests.
Braised pork, braised fish, beef stewed with potatoes, boiled duck, minced tofu and pork, stir-fried vegetables and yam stewed with chicken soup.
After get off work, Yang Xiaobei rode his bicycle to the guesthouse. From a distance, he saw Qian Xiaobao waiting at the guesthouse gate and waving at him.
