It was around five o'clock in the afternoon in mid-March, and the sun had just set. The distant mountains are silent in the lead-colored clouds, appearing and disappearing. The spring breeze blows, the birds sing, and the newly sprouted trees line up behind them. He couldn't restrain his inner joy.
Although being with Li Juan just now has consumed a lot of passion, the love between men and women today cannot make him let go at all. There were five dozen pieces of unity in his military satchel. Each dozen had a hundred pieces. This number was almost ten years of his mother¡¯s salary. He had made a fortune.
He tried his best to resist the urge to stop the car and find a place where no one was around to count the money in his bag. He was sure that his parents had never seen so much money before, and he couldn't tell them. That would not only frighten them, but also add to their worries.
He knows that his parents will only regard the money earned from hard work as due reward, and they will regard money from other sources as speculation. Especially money from business. He had already made a plan in his mind. He would keep the entire dozen of 5,000 yuan himself and give 200 yuan to his mother. In this way, she would not only be happy but also feel at ease.
As soon as his new car entered the station gate, it attracted countless envious looks. The most eyes came from women. He didn't pay attention at first. He thought he was riding a 26-inch Kun bike. Everyone was curious! The further we rode towards the family area, the more people commented and envied me.
When he was approaching the beverage factory, a middle-aged woman blocked his way. With a smile on his face, he said: "Young man, you bought a new Feige 26 today, right? Where did you buy it from? Are you selling this car?" The visitor bombarded him with questions like a barrage of questions. .
He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry! Auntie, I bought this car for my mother. I won't sell it." The middle-aged woman asked unwillingly, "Can you tell me where I can buy it?" He said without hesitation: "I asked someone to get the tickets and bought them at the county supply and marketing cooperative."
The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "We have gone to the county supply and marketing cooperative more than 20 times, and the salespersons said there is no stock. You must be related, right?" He didn't want to get entangled with this stranger, pushing the car. As he walked, he said, "It doesn't matter, I bought it at a high price." After that, he rode into the yard of the beverage factory.
The factory door was closed, and he remembered that today was Sunday and the person on duty had already gotten off work. He had no choice but to ride his bicycle and rush to Factory Manager Liang's house. When he got downstairs, he parked the car and carefully checked the car lock. Seeing that there was no one around, he quickly counted out fifty unity sheets and put them in his trouser pocket.
He didn¡¯t want to count the money in front of Director Liang, because not only would he find the money in his bag, but they would also be embarrassed. He had thought about these details carefully on the road.
Director Liang and his family were having dinner. As soon as he walked in, he was pulled to the dining table. Director Liang¡¯s lover asked his daughter Liang Hong to bring him bowls and chopsticks. Director Liang took a wine glass and poured wine for him, and said happily: "Thank you for your hard work! Hanwen, you must have just finished your work and haven't gone home yet, right?"
He nodded and said: "We invited several leaders of the county supply and marketing cooperative to have a meal at noon. Others have helped our factory so much, so we can't help but express it! There will be more opportunities to use them in the future. Those thirty tons Baitang, let us send a truck to the railway station freight yard next Saturday to pick it up."
Director Liang said happily: "Okay, I know how to handle things. After you get a reimbursement form, I will sign it and reimburse you for the meal. I can't let you contribute and pay for it." Just as he was talking, Liang Hong's sister came from He came up from downstairs and said in surprise: "Mom, there is a brand new Feige 26 parked in front of our building. It's so beautiful! Mom, haven't you always wanted to buy one?"
Director Liang¡¯s lover took her little daughter and ran downstairs, and Liang Hong followed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly said to the factory director: "There is something I must report to you. Manager Li from the supply and marketing cooperative gave me a penny profit per catty, and the invoice was issued at the original price. I can't pay this money If you get it alone, I¡¯ll leave you five hundred.¡±
¡°As he spoke, he took out five hundred yuan and stuffed it into the factory director¡¯s pocket. Director Liang didn't say anything for a long time, then poured him another glass of wine and said, "You kid, there is absolutely no need for you to tell me this kind of thing. This is normal in the business world, but if you tell me, it means that you This child is a person with no evil heart. He knows how to deal with water and never forgets the man who dug the well. You will be very successful in the future."
He said emotionally: "Uncle Liang, I can make some money now only because of your support and help. I, Huang Hanwen, am by no means the kind of ungrateful person. I also know that your family is not very wealthy, and they all rely on wages. Where is the extra money? I will repay you whenever I have the opportunity in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, the factory director¡¯s wife and sister Liang Hong came back. As soon as he entered the house, he sighed: "It's so beautiful, and it has diagonal beams. It's very convenient to wear skirts in summer." He said calmly: "Auntie, if you like it, I will find a way to get you one."
The three girls looked at him in surprise, thinking: "It doesn't matter, powerful people go to a lot of trouble to buy one, but you?Children? He still said easily: "Next week!" Ask Liang Hong to ride the bike back with me. "
Director Liang and his wife looked at him like he was joking, and said in unison: "Can you really get it?" He smiled and said: "The car below is the one I bought for my mother." Liang Hong and her sister jumped when they heard this. got up.
Director Liang was also a little surprised and said: "That manager Li is very stingy. I asked him for tickets several times, but he always said they were out of stock. Why did he give them to you?"
He said calmly: "Because I helped him a lot and helped him get rid of a backlog of goods. Otherwise, their losses would have been huge. So in return, he gave me a bicycle ticket. And he agreed. He will try his best to help me if I have something to do."
Director Liang and his wife both said with admiration: "Hanwen is very capable and can always connect unrelated things. Even if he helps others, he also makes money and builds relationships."
He said modestly: "It's not just the help of uncles and aunts. If you want to buy something that is in short supply in the future, just tell me and I will find a way to get it."
After dinner, Director Liang asked his daughter Liang Hong to see him off. He rode his broken car and let Liang Hong ride his new car. She hugged him happily and said: "Hanwen, I feel more and more that you don't look like a student anymore, you are more like a businessman than my dad. But I like you like this, it makes people feel particularly powerful. No Like other male students in our class, they only rely on their parents."
He got on the bike and said loudly: "Because they have never been poor, lacked money or lacked the ability to make money. Anyway, they just don't want to grow up. When they grow up, they will be embarrassed to rely on their parents."
Liang Hong didn¡¯t say a word, it was already dark. The street lights could vaguely illuminate their faces. Liang Hong suddenly asked: "Hanwen, have you always liked Yu He? Are you and her boyfriend and girlfriend or just friends?"
He knew the first thing she meant when she asked this question. Could it be that she liked him too? Why couldn't she help herself just now? But he couldn't tell her the truth, and he couldn't let her think otherwise. Telling her the truth would be equivalent to admitting that he was in puppy love. He felt that he didn't like her and couldn't let her think wildly.
He said firmly: "You and I are both good classmates and have a good relationship, but I don't want to consider relationship issues so early. I don't want my parents to worry about my premature love."
Liang Hong said in disbelief: "Don't lie to me. All the classmates in the class said that you and Yu He are the same, and their relationship must be extraordinary. The way you look at Yu He is different from other girls. We all I can feel a kind of warmth in it. My classmates in the class also said that you not only have a girlfriend, but also seem to be related to Tan Haixia."
He didn¡¯t want to explain anything, because the more he explained, the less clear it became. He said nonchalantly: "Let them talk! I won't do anything because of what they said? I feel like I don't have enough time now. How can I have time to think about those messy things!"
Liang Hong didn¡¯t say a word and rode silently. When he arrived downstairs at his house, he locked the new car, pushed the old car and said to Liang Hong: "Let's go, I'll take you back." Liang Hong said embarrassedly: "You've been tired all day, I'd better walk back. !¡±
He said without any doubt: "What can we do? It's already dark. If something goes wrong along the way, how can I explain it to your parents? Let's go! Stop being wordy."
Liang Hong sat behind his car and only held on to the seat at first. After walking no more than a hundred meters, her hands tentatively wrapped around his waist. He couldn't say anything and rode silently. After leaving the door of the welfare area of ??the factory, she not only hugged him tightly with both hands, but also put her face on his back and said, "Hanwen, I like you. I have liked you since the first day of school." .I heard my dad talk about you all the time, and I like you even more now."
He turned around and said firmly: "We can only be good friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend. I don't want to fall in love now. You should concentrate on your studies!"
Liang Hong stopped talking and shed tears silently. Arriving at the door of her building, Hanwen got out of the car and said, "Stop thinking nonsense. I'm unreliable. I hang out with everyone in society. I'm not pure anymore. I'm not suitable for falling in love, you know? You can go upstairs." !I¡¯m going back.¡±
After saying that, he rode away without looking back. When he arrived at the door of the building, he was worried that his new car would stay downstairs overnight, so he carried the car back home.
His mother opened the door and took a look, and exclaimed: "Old Huang, do you see what our son is pushing home?" He smiled and pushed the new car to the balcony. Both brothers touched it happily, and his father looked very happy. He said seriously: "Where did it come from? We see that although we are poor, poor people should not have short-term ambitions!"
He said unconvinced: "Dad, what are you thinking? You think I stole it. I spent my hard-earned money to buy this at the county supply and marketing cooperative. Look at this invoice. I bought this for my mother. Mom, are you satisfied?"
His mother said with tears: "Other people have to wait until their children grow up to enjoy the blessings. Now I have a new bicycle for my son." His father looked at the invoice and said excitedly: "It's just too expensive. It gave me four months¡¯ salary.¡±
He proudly announced: "From now on, our family's poor days are gone forever. Our family must have what others have, and our family must have what others don't have."
