Chapter 17
When my father heard that I wanted to grow vegetables in a greenhouse behind my house, he was opposed to it at first. After my insistence, he reluctantly agreed.
"Unless you can grow cucumbers like today, we will be in trouble."
This kind of melon house cannot be planted in the land behind it, but I thought of a way to dispel my father's concerns so that I can transplant some.
I took out 10,000 yuan in cash from my bag and placed it in front of my father.
"Dad, take this money and go to the countryside tomorrow to buy some bamboo chips and plastic films for making a greenhouse."
The father looked at the money on the table with doubtful eyes.
"Didn't you buy a tricycle with your salary? Why do you still have so much money? Where did it come from?"
"Dad, don't worry about where the money comes from. A friend is doing business and I bought shares. This is my dividend. This is also the reason why I want to grow a greenhouse. I want to expand the scale, formalize it, and become an enterprise. Say more.
Even if you don’t understand, just do as I say, I’m sure it’s correct.”
The mother interjected: "My son is older, and your thoughts can no longer keep up with the situation. There are some things that I can't just listen to you. Listen to your children. The day is theirs."
My father is indeed not as open-minded as my mother. Although my mother often hit me when I was a child, my father never laid a finger on me.
My father accepted the money in hesitation, and we began to plan how to buy bamboo chips.
There was a call, from the bearded man. I could tell he was very happy because all the fish he brought was sold out. He listened to my words and gave the aunt a slot, and she was very grateful to him. He said he would return it tomorrow morning.
I wanted to pull fish. Thinking that I was going to attend Chen Yousheng's wedding, I told him that I couldn't pull any more fish at noon.
The bearded man felt a little regretful, so he had to do this.
At 5 o'clock the next morning, just after dawn, the bearded double-cab arrived, almost catching me off guard. Fortunately, I called yesterday. If he arrived, it would be bad for me to go fish in space again.
Done.
The bearded man told me that the woman still had some fish from before, so I could share some with him, so I don’t have to worry about the afternoon’s goods.
After sending the bearded man away, I fell asleep again. I was stunned when my mother called me to get up and have dinner. After dinner, they went to the countryside to sell cucumbers.
I entered the space, and new cucumbers grew. I wanted to pick some more and let my parents sell them, but then I thought, the cucumbers grow too fast, and my parents alone cannot sell them all. I want to return to the county seat as soon as possible.
, wholesaled it to those vendors, and stopped picking it.
I came to Chen Yousheng's house.
My family lives in the west end of the village, and his family lives in the east end of the village. One look at this house, and you can see how big the gap between the rich and the poor is.
The two-story small western-style building has wrought iron fence walls, red bricks and green tiles, and bright and clean windows. From the inside to the outside, it exudes a modern life. Building a two-story small building in the village is more spacious than a small villa in a big city.
The doors and windows were covered with red characters and window grilles, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
The inside and outside of the courtyard had long been filled with people, and it was very lively.
There were many cars parked on the street, and there were many wealthy and wealthy owners who came to their home as guests. Naturally, there were many cars, and most of them were famous brand luxury cars.
When I entered the courtyard, I felt like a stranger. I knew almost everyone in the village, but few paid any attention to me. They only nodded and smiled, that's all. I didn't care about that.
When I come to a wedding banquet, I always have to pay a portion of the contribution. I really don’t know how much to pay. In terms of relationship, Chen Yousheng and I are classmates, so I will take whatever the classmates take. I can’t follow the etiquette of the folks.
I really can't afford the ten or twenty. Even though I'm poor, I still understand etiquette.
Several people were gathering around the accounting table to pay the bills. They all recognized each other at first glance. They were some of my classmates, Ma Xiaoer, Liu Yongshan, Qiao Hui, and Fang Qingyu. When they saw me coming, they all greeted me. I have known them for many years.
not see.
"Old classmate, how many gifts do you plan to give to Shengzi? Each of us has a thousand!"
Ma Xiaoer tilted his head, holding the cigarette sideways, and asked me, looking down on me.
I am neither humble nor arrogant.
"I will do as much as you want."
He took out 1,000 yuan from his pocket and put it directly on the account table, "Chen Lingyu, 1,000 yuan as a gift."
"Ouch! You haven't changed your stubborn temper yet! You were stubborn when you were in school, and you're still the same now. You can't do anything to us. We are all businessmen with business, and we can be considered bosses. I heard that
You have been a small worker on a construction site for many years. It is not easy to make money. You can just follow a guy with a salary of two hundred yuan. You don't have to look fat and have trouble explaining to your parents when you get home. Saving money to marry a wife is the right way. To
If you don’t, we will leave you even further behind, and my son will almost die!”
Other classmates also followed suit, saying that I was poor and poor. They curled their lips and ignored me.
I smiled calmly and said, "We are all classmates. We are treated equally. There is no need to differentiate between classes. I am poor, so I can still afford the 1,000 yuan."
At this moment, Chen Yousheng came over in a suit and leather shoes. On this hot day, you still had to wear a full dress.
"Chen Lingyu is here!" He seemed to have seen the amount on the ledger.
"Everyone, go and sit down. There is a table specially arranged for our classmates on the second floor."
The classmates walked upstairs one after another, and I was at the end.
Chen Yousheng grabbed me, called me aside, and stuffed 1,000 yuan into my hand.
"Brother, I understand what you mean. Your coming is the best gift. I know that your current conditions are not good enough. This 1,000 yuan is a bit heavy for you. Take the money back, how much should be written on the bill
How many more should I write? I know it well."
I never thought he would do this, and I definitely wouldn't agree. How could I have the nerve to get the money back? He was busy, so he was called over, and the money was left in my hand.
I returned to the accounting table and asked if Chen Yousheng had taken money here. The accounting uncle was stunned when asked, "No?"
Only then did I realize that the money came from Chen Yousheng’s own pocket.
The money was a bit hot for me to hold, so I asked the accounting uncle to write another one for me. When Chen Yousheng saw this account, he must have understood what I meant, and there was no need to explain too much.
I don't agree with his approach, but I still feel warm in my heart. Compared with other classmates, I feel that I am quite close to Chen Yousheng.
I didn't sit down at the table, so I watched the people coming and going in the yard. Basically, they were all villagers in the village. Those I didn't know were relatives of Chen Yousheng's family, and some of his friends.
According to people's comments, his family will also hold a wedding party in the provincial capital, and the main guests will be his father's business friends. The woman will also hold a homecoming wedding banquet, which is arranged by her mother's family, and I heard that the ceremony will not be small.
Chen Yousheng saw me still standing in the yard and urged me to go up to the second floor to chat with my classmates.
At this moment, Uncle Zhang, who was in charge of the kitchen, ran over anxiously.
