Chapter 55 Both Parties Borrow Money
The flowers and plants by the river sway in the wind, and Zhao Xiaobing's mood also drifts.
Should I go or not?
Go!
Zhao Xiaobing made up his mind that if he backed off again this time, he would regret it after losing Deng Damei. He looked at Deng Damei, whose face was flushed, and said, "I'll take you back to the educated youth dormitory first."
"No, I'll go back by myself. You should go and get some rest. I heard from your mother that you have to help your uncle build a house this afternoon."
"Oh well."
Zhao Xiaobing lowered his head and took her hand, the temperature of his palm was still hot.
Deng Damei trotted away and was nearly tripped by a pebbles by the river. She was so scared that she ran away quickly, her cheeks turning red from her cheeks to her ears.
I hope Zhao Xiaobing didn’t find out.
In fact, Zhao Xiaobing had already stretched out his hand, but seeing that she was running so fast, he could only retract his hand.
Seeing her running away, Zhao Xiaobing walked to the foot of the back mountain, looked up at the road up the mountain, his heart beating faster and faster, hoping that Brother Zhao would not get angry later.
God bless you!!! The mountain road of Zhaojia Brigade was built entirely by walking, so it is narrow but not rugged.
When they reached the middle of the mountain, Zhao Xiaobing looked at Zhao Rencheng's house from afar, took a deep breath, and stepped into the yard.
Zhao Rencheng, who was in the house, heard the bell ringing, opened his eyes suddenly, got out of bed and opened the door.
Zhao Xiaobing was standing in the courtyard with his shoulders hunched and his back slightly bent. Zhao Rencheng frowned, and his voice was filled with anger as he was disturbed from his sleep. He stared at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Xiaobing's heart was trembling. He avoided his gaze and whispered, "Brother Zhao, I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Do you have to come to my house?" Zhao Rencheng asked back. His tone was very restrained, but he still showed anger. There was even more impatience in his dark and deep eyes. He really, really, really hated people coming to his house.
Zhao Xiaobing gritted his teeth and nodded slowly, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He felt that in the next second his fist would hit his face with a violent storm.
Zhao Rencheng tried hard to suppress his irritability, and pointed at the bamboo chair outside the yard with his jaw tensed. "Sit here."
"good."
Zhao Xiaobing sat beside him with his hands placed stiffly on his knees.
Zhao Rencheng rubbed his brows, took out a teacup for guests from the bamboo tray, and poured him a glass of water. "It's all boiled water, just drink some."
"good."
Zhao Xiaobing took it with both hands and drank it all in one gulp. While putting down the cup, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Zhao Rencheng never liked beating around the bush, so he got straight to the point and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Can I...can I borrow seventy yuan from you?" Zhao Xiaobing couldn't even say this fluently, because the amount was too large and he and Zhao Rencheng were not familiar with each other, so doing so would be too abrupt and presumptuous.
"Seventy?" Zhao Rencheng raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Xiaobing nodded.
The air froze for a few seconds.
Zhao Rencheng saw him wiping his sweat, and he was convinced that he dared to come to him even though he was so scared: "What do you need so much money for? Building a house? Didn't your house just get built?"
"No, I want to get married." Zhao Xiaobing's face turned red instantly, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Brother Zhao hasn’t even married yet.
He borrowed money from Brother Zhao to marry a wife.
It's really immoral.
Zhao Rencheng was indeed jealous. What was going on with the young people in the brigade recently? Waves of people were getting married. He wanted to make things difficult for Zhao Xiaobing, but when he thought about the fact that Zhao Xiaobing's partner was Deng Damei, and Deng Damei's best friend was Zhang Yunxi, he held back and asked, "How are you going to pay it back?"
When Zhao Xiaobing heard that there was a chance, his eyes lit up and he quickly explained the method he had thought of to him, "Pay ten yuan a year, for a total of eight years, which means the ten yuan in the last year is interest."
Ten yuan interest? This surprised Zhao Rencheng. He was the only one who asked for interest among all the people who lent him money. "I can lend you money, but you have to pay it back on time. Don't let me rush you, or I'll ask your parents for it directly."
"I will pay it back!" Zhao Xiaobing quickly assured.
Zhao Rencheng also felt that he would pay it back. He would not dare not not pay back the money since someone had been avoiding him since childhood.
Moreover, Zhao Xiaobing has always been inconspicuous in the village, has never caused any trouble, and has never fought since he was a child. He is very law-abiding and has a low sense of presence. He is a very honest young man.
The most sensational thing was that he was dating Deng Damei.
"Wait, I'll write you an IOU."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Zhao."
Zhao Xiaobing was so excited that he bit his fist and his voice choked. He was prepared to be beaten, but he didn't expect that he could really borrow money.
Brother Zhao is the best militia captain.
No other!!!
He will definitely listen to Brother Zhao from now on.
Although……
He would listen even if Brother Zhao didn't lend him money.
But the situation is different. He is willing now! "It's okay." Zhao Rencheng went into the room to get a pen and paper, wrote the IOU, asked him to sign and put his fingerprints, and reminded him: "Don't tell others that you borrowed money from me. If others know, they will definitely ask me to borrow money. I don't have that much money to lend to others."
"I know!" Zhao Xiaobing nodded seriously.
Zhao Rencheng gave him the seven great unity cards.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Zhao Xiaobing was also very flustered holding the seventy yuan, and he felt something was wrong all over his body: "Brother Zhao, I'll go down the mountain first."
"Okay, call me when we get to the wedding."
"good!"
Zhao Xiaobing gave a silly smile.
Brother Zhao is really good at talking.
Hit his favorite spot right away!
hey-hey.
Zhao Xiaobing couldn't stop feeling happy when he thought about giving the money to Damei so that they could have a wedding and have their own little home.
Seeing his perverted look, Zhao Rencheng felt upset for some reason, "Go down the mountain."
Look at this.
It's quite unpleasant.
"Okay, Brother Zhao, take a nap." Zhao Xiaobing went down the mountain with the money in his pocket. His head kept turning around along the way, for fear of meeting someone he knew.
Zhao Rencheng went to put Zhao Xiaobing's IOUs into a box. Looking at the dozens of IOUs in the box, he felt helpless.
I don't know when the debt can be collected.
Anyway, money is constantly being borrowed.
The one who had the largest amount of money belonged to Zhao Xiaobing, a full seventy yuan.
The rest are five or ten yuan.
The last time he encountered the old leader, he wanted to ask them for the debt, but now it was autumn, and they had not been given any money or food. Seeing that they were all getting food from the brigade, he really couldn't bear to do it.
He no longer expected to get the money.
Close the lid.
Just tuck it away in the closet.
Zhao Rencheng continued to sleep on the bed. He still had to repair the canal in the afternoon. This job was very tiring and was basically done by men. The women and girls had a lot of things to do at this time of year, preparing for the winter. Although they had some free time, they were not really that idle.
While lying there, Zhao Rencheng began to think about how to make the rabbit smell better, and how to get along with Zhang Yunxi at night without being awkward.
call--
Not embarrassing.
Otherwise, Zhang Yunxi would definitely find out.
He deceived himself and slowly fell asleep.
