Chapter 78: Want to eat nothing?(1/2)

"Auntie, I won't eat the New Year's Eve dinner at home."

Huang Ling stopped cutting vegetables and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Do your company still have to work overtime during the Chinese New Year?"

Xiang Pengfei smiled and said, "No, my mother called me and told me to go to the dealer for the New Year's Eve dinner."

Huang Ling frowned when she heard this: "I didn't say that I would take the initiative to ask you to have the New Year's Eve dinner."

"Maybe I know that I have earned money from work now." Xiang Pengfei sneered.

Seeing Huang Ling's face full of worry, Xiang Pengfei comforted: "Auntie, don't worry, I'm not my uncle. My mother knelt on the ground and begged them to let me sleep on the table. They refused to do so. Now, I want me to have a New Year's Eve dinner and I want me to hand over my salary to them like my uncle."

"I want to eat nothing."

On New Year's Eve, the dealer was carefully preparing a big meal.

As a result, the moment Xiang Pengfei entered the door, the whole family's face turned dark.

Zhuang Zhenbei sarcastically said, "Pengfei heard that you bought marten coats for all irrelevant people. Why did you come to our house empty-handed?"

Xiang Pengfei said innocently: "My mother called me just to come over for the New Year's Eve dinner, and she didn't say she wanted to bring anything."

Mr. Zhuang was so angry that his face turned green, but when he thought of Xiang Pengfei's salary, he could only pretend to be kind and smile to smooth things over.

"It's all my own family, so there's no need to pay attention to those things. Peng Fei comes, sits, sits here."

Zhuang Niao took Xiang Pengfei's hand and pulled him to the position where Zhuang was supposed to be.

After sitting down, Xiang Pengfei did not forget to act obediently: "Grandma, it's too inappropriate for me to sit on. I was satisfied if I could have a seat on the table before."

"Hi, it's the same wherever you sit." Zhuang Niao smiled awkwardly.

The two brothers Zhendong and Zhenbei were rushed to the two seats farthest from Haocai with resentment.

Master Zhuang also poured Xiang Pengfei a glass of wine: "Pengfei, Dad is here to congratulate you on finding a good job. This was considered a top-notch home in the past."

"Yes, Pengfei, you are promising now, so don't forget to take care of your family. Is it good to be alone? It's really good to be happy for everyone." Zhuang Niao said with a smile on her face.

When Zhuang Chaoying saw this scene, she felt like she was back on the day she just started working, and her parents told him the same thing.

Xiang Pengfei raised a sneer on his lips and said with a point of view: "Grandpa and grandma, don't worry, although Xiang Pengfei has not been admitted to university, he still understands how to repay kindness. I will never forget who is good to me and who is bad to me in my life."

In an instant, the atmosphere inside the house fell into freezing point.

Master Zhuang angrily smashed the wine glass on the table, and the smile on Mrs. Zhuang's face also solidified.

Zhuang Ganmei and his wife lowered their heads guiltily.

Only Xiang Pengfei was alone and didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

After a while, Ms. Zhuang then piled up a hypocritical smile on her face again: "Pengfei, there are some things we didn't want to help you in the past, but the family's conditions are limited..."

"Grandma, I remember when I first came to Suzhou, your family had three bicycles. It was the first time to buy a TV in this film? There is also that dual-stop recorder, which is also unique in this film, right? Is this called limited conditions?"

Xiang Pengfei didn't like this, and he just looked over with his face.

Zhuang Mian looked embarrassed and didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

Mr. Zhuang slammed the table in anger: "What are you talking about? Is there anyone who talks to grandma like this?"

Zhuang Chaoying hesitated for a moment and complained: "Pengfei, apologize to grandma."

Xiang Pengfei smiled coldly: "Uncle, isn't what I said true? It seems that there is no reason for this world to apologize if you tell the truth?"

Zhuang Chaoying was choked and Master Zhuang was furious: "I'm going to rebel, you're going to rebel!"

Xiang Pengfei dropped the pig elbow that was bitten to the bones in his hand and burped: "Grandpa and grandma, I know clearly what you are doing. You don't have to pretend to be kind. I have seen the dirty and hypocritical side of you a long time ago."

"Get out, get out of here. Our banker doesn't have you as your grandson!" Mr. Zhuang almost didn't come up in one breath.

Xiang Pengfei patted the grease on his hands and smiled: "Yes, this is your true face. How tired you are to pretend."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

"A bad beast, bad beast, go, I'm going to call Hualin and let her teach me a lesson as an unfilial son!"

After Zhuang finished speaking, he ran to the convenience store, but the convenience store was closed. He knocked on the door and called Zhuang Hualin.

As a result, after he vented his anger, Zhuang Hualin's tone on the other end of the phone was very dull.

"Dad, Pengfei is no longer a child. He remembers how you treat him. Do you regret it now?"

"It's too late!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone. Master Zhuang choked his throat with an old phlegm, and he fainted when he turned his eyes.

When he woke up from the hospital, he kept muttering: The evil beasts are all a group of ungrateful wolves!

Zhuang Ganmei's wife muttered: "I had known that I shouldn't have let him come for the New Year's Eve dinner. Now it's been poured. He ate all the delicious dishes on the table. I didn't catch a bite, and I even made my father ill, which made the whole family have to come to the hospital for the New Year."

Zhuang Niao cried with tears in her eyes when she heard this: "What are you talking about in the second wife? Didn't you also be jealous of Huang Ling's mink coat and Peng Fei's salary?"

"Mom, I didn't say this. It was all you said. It was obviously because you were jealous of you."

Zhuang Mian was so angry that her face flushed: "You are evil, who am I doing this for? Isn't it for my second brother to catch up with the United States, to Zhendong and Zhenbei, and to this family."

"Mom, don't howl. When the nurse comes, you have to say to you. If nothing happens, I will go back. Zhendong and Zhenbei are still waiting at home. I have to watch them do their homework."

After saying that, he winked at her husband again, and Zhuang Ganmei turned her eyes: "Mom, I have to go out to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, and I have to go back and rest first. Dad, please ask you and your elder brother to take care of you."

On the other hand, Xiang Pengfei had already returned to the courtyard. Before the New Year's Eve dinner was finished, Huang Ling saw that he was back so early, so she quickly called him to serve.

Xiang Pengfei was not polite, and sat directly next to Huang Ling.

Zhuang Xiaoting asked carefully: "Brother Pengfei, you go to grandparents' house, they didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

Xiang Pengfei said proudly: "Make it difficult for me? After I went there, I chose the expensive ones, and I made all the two pig elbows."

Huang Ling was amused by him. When she thought of Xiang Pengfei's slap in a slap, the scene where Mr. Zhuang and his grandmother Zhuang dared not speak out, she felt relieved. In fact, she had wanted to do this for a long time, but she had always been concerned about Zhuang Chaoying's face.

"What about that?" Zhuang Tunan frowned. In his impression, his grandparents never do business of losing money.

"Then, their words meant to let me be filial to them, and I just pushed them back." Xiang Pengfei said disdainfully.

"My mother took me back to Suzhou before, and my grandparents said it was so nasty. Why don't you implicate my mother-in-law's family? I brought someone from another family to eat my mother-in-law. Today I went there and someone at the door asked me if I was a grandson or grandson, but my grandmother said that they were all grandsons and all from our banker family."

"They thought that if I said a few good things, I would be close to them and would be able to support them like my uncle."

"I want to eat nothing."

This is the second time today that Huang Ling has said the three words "I want to eat nothing" from Xiang Pengfei. She doesn't think it's vulgar, but instead she relieves her hatred every time.

After the New Year, it also indicates that the official entry of 1988. Qin Hao and Li Jia returned to work early, while Zhuang Tunan returned to school with Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting, and Xiang Pengfei also returned to work on the eighth day of the Chinese New Year.

On that day, Qin Hao received a call from Uncle Lin Er. He reported a problem to Qin Hao. The component suppliers that had been working with them had increased the price of components since the resumption of work after the New Year, and the price was not the same. Some of them rose directly by 30%, and the lowest was also 15%.

"Since the raw materials have risen, we will also rise. From now on, you use all the remaining money on the books to purchase raw materials, and at least one year of production demand should be guaranteed."

Qin Hao knew that the rise in raw materials was caused by the gradual relaxation of price regulation by the superiors, which is the so-called "price breakthrough".

This time, the "price breakthrough" involves all aspects. The most intuitive feeling of the people is that the prices of vegetables and pork are beginning to rise one after another.

Zhuang Tunan encountered such a dilemma. In the past, he only needed to take two days a month to tutor to meet the daily expenses. Now it takes at least three days. Moreover, if prices continue to rise according to the trend, Zhuang Tunan even doubts whether he can support himself.

In order not to worry about their parents, Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting used their weekends to sell plastic bags, which really made them a lot of money. Sometimes they were caught by market administrators with red hoops to confiscate the plastic bags.

Zhuang Tunan did not forget to call Huang Ling and notified her to store more daily necessities, but Huang Ling said that Qin Hao had called in advance.

"Didn't Haozi start a company with the second uncle of the Lin family? As soon as the raw materials increased there, he noticed something was wrong and called Song Ying. Now the house is full of various daily necessities, which is enough for us to use for a while."

"At first, I thought it was too mysterious and there was no need to store so much. Now, even toilet paper and matches have increased prices. Our factory's originally unsold fabrics were snatched up and the wool has also increased. I can't buy wool recently, so I can't take orders to knit sweaters."

Crazy, everything goes crazy. There are always children queuing up at the store. Once the goods are served, they will immediately run back and notify the adults at home to come and buy them. In the atmosphere of fear that "the money is getting less and less valuable", everything sold in the store will be snatched away before it is put on the shelves.

The wind of price breakthroughs quickly blew into the school. Originally, Zhuang Chaoying's monthly salary of 100 yuan was not only enough for his life, but also for half of his family. Now, it's better, it's only enough for him to spend alone.

So, Zhuang Chaoying had to bite the bullet and go home to discuss with her parents that she would not pay her salary recently, but was scolded by Zhuang and his grandparents.

"You don't have enough salary for one person, so what should I do if the family has to raise two more children?"

"Yes, Chaoying, you usually save some money. If you really can't, you can go to a stall to sell tea eggs. I think many teachers at your affiliated high school do this."

Zhuang Chaoying was speechless for a moment and could only continue to "offer" silently.

But even so, the dealer was not satisfied. Every time he ate, he would curse Xiang Pengfei on the dining table.

"The water splashed by a married daughter is just unreliable for this foreigner. I knew that I shouldn't have given birth to a birch forest at the beginning, and I have been in vain for so many years."

At the end of April, Qin Hao received news from the Chess Academy that the Fujitsu Cup auditions had ended and the main competition was about to start in mid-May, and an invitation letter also completely exposed Qin Hao.

"Oh, it turns out that Xiao Qin is still the world champion of Go."

"Tsk tsk, there are such people in our unit."

The reason why time is so tight is that after a long analysis of Qin Hao's game video, the Japanese Chess Academy discovered a habit of Qin Hao when playing chess, so they set a new rule specifically for this habit.

The Fujitsu Cup main competition has attracted the attention of many people in China, Japan and South Korea, especially Japan. They can't wait to see Japanese chess players be able to defeat Qin Hao in the first World Go Competition and avenge their previous shame.

However, what made them depressed was that Qin Hao was still in a state of unstoppable momentum in the early stage of the game, defeating Japanese and Korean chess players one after another, and was the first to enter the quarterfinals.

In the quarterfinals, Qin Hao met Korean chess player Cao Xunhyun, who is known as the number one player in Korean Go. His performance in this Fujitsu Cup was also very impressive.

Many Japanese chess fans came to cheer for Cao Xunhyun. On the one hand, because Qin Hao brought the pressure on Japanese Go was too strong, Japanese chess fans hope that Cao Xunhyun could perform well to defeat Qin Hao and clear obstacles for Japanese chess players. On the other hand, Cao Xunhyun once became a disciple of Se Yueheng. In the eyes of Japanese chess fans, Cao Xunhyun has a relationship with them, and is naturally closer to Qin Hao.
