Shanghai.
"Brother, why don't you stay a few more days?"
A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old was sitting on the sofa with her calves dangling. She looked at her elder brother who was packing his luggage, with a look of reluctance on her face.
Although her eldest brother is far away in the Chile River, the girl still remembers how kind his brother was to her when she was a child.
Nowadays, it can be said that the two brothers and sisters spend less time together and more separation. They don't see each other a few times throughout the year. This is the change of the past two years.
A few years ago, their family could not see each other for several years.
"No, there's something else going on over there."
Li Jie smiled and then said, "Besides, didn't I tell you two days ago that in a few years, when things over there are on track, I will come back."
"whispering sound."
The girl pouted, her face full of disbelief.
"Who knows if you will come back?"
"Let me tell you, brother, you should come back before the educated youth return to the city."
"Let me remind you that you are the only son in the family, and your sister-in-law is also the only daughter in the family. Now, Mom, Uncle Qin, and Aunt Qin are getting older and older."
"Yes Yes."
Li Jie chuckled after listening to the girl's chatter.
"I know everything. You don't know how many times you have said this."
"I will definitely come back when the matter over there is taken care of."
A few years ago, Li Jie's plan was to stay there, but the current situation has changed a bit.
Last year, Qin's mother was diagnosed with diabetes.
In the current medical environment, specific drugs for diabetes have not yet been introduced, so this disease requires more care.
As a result, the plan to move to Chilechuan was naturally aborted.
After all, the medical conditions there are no better than those in Shanghai.
If Qin's mother can't go, Qin's father will definitely stay in Shencheng and take good care of his wife. If they don't go, Gao's mother will be too lazy to go.
Therefore, Li Jie and Qin Nan discussed it and finally decided to change their plan. After two or three years, they were ready to return to Shanghai.
In addition, by that time, the children at home would also be of primary school age.
"Yinghua!"
"Don't disturb your brother there."
At this time, Gao Mu walked into the house from outside the door and drove her daughter away with a straight face.
The little girl feeds her son ecstasy soup every day, and she doesn’t know who she learned it from.
In fact, from the perspective of Gao Mu, although she missed her son, what her son did there made her even more gratified.
If her son and daughter-in-law don't come back, she won't say much.
Everything depends on the child's own thoughts.
certainly.
If her son and daughter-in-law choose to come back, she will definitely agree with both hands and feet.
After Gao Yinghua left the house, Gao's mother walked up to Li Jie and whispered.
"Zhihua, tell me honestly, where did you get that money?"
"You didn't do anything illegal, right?"
Seeing Gao's mother's worried look, Li Jie said helplessly.
"Mom, don't worry, that money comes from serious sources."
"Xiao Jian, do you remember?"
Upon hearing the name, Gao's mother nodded repeatedly. Although Xiao Jian's visits to the house had become less frequent in recent years, he would still ask people to deliver things during holidays.
"He and I did some business together."
Time has entered the 1980s, and there is no need to hide Xiao Jian's affairs. Therefore, it doesn't matter if Li Jie reveals a little to Gao Mu.
"Mom, you also know that I often go to Huadu."
"The Huadu side is further south, and the atmosphere is more open."
"Let's just talk about bell-bottom pants. These things first became popular in Huadu, and then slowly spread to us."
"You also know my relationship with Xiao Jian. I found a way to ask him to help me restock the goods, get the goods from Huadu, and then sell them to us."
"Then this money is too much?"
“Can a self-employed person earn that much money?”
Obviously, Gao Mu still had doubts in her heart. After all, there was too much money in that account, a full five thousand yuan.
It's so scary.
Half a ten thousand yuan household!
Gao Mu had never seen so much money in her life, and besides, in his mind, it was impossible for a self-employed person to earn that much money.
"Mom, don't worry."
Li Jie smiled slightly: "That money is absolutely clean."
"Let's put it another way, if the money is not clean, can I deposit it in the bank?"
"Do you think this is true?"
Gao Mu confirmed again: "Really?"
"real!"
Seeing Gao Mu's behavior, Li Jie thought to himself, if you always knew how much money you really made, you would probably get sick even if you weren't sick.
As early as the advent of the open policy, Xiao Jian was the first to respond to the call of his superiors and start a self-employed business.
With the foundation laid in the previous ten years, Li Jie and Xiao Jian's industry is like blowing up a balloon, getting bigger and bigger.
Moreover, with Li Jie behind his back, the money Xiao Jian earned did not exceed the red line at all.
In short, if the money is clean, don’t keep it clean. Even if someone checks it, there will be no problem.
As for whether Xiao Jian himself has done anything else, Li Jie doesn't know, but looking at his performance in the past few years.
Xiao Jian would probably not do that.
Who would dare to do something illegal if you can make money in a serious way?
"That's okay."
After a long while, Gao Mu hesitated.
"I'll help you save that money. You and Nannan have a heavy burden. When you come back in the future, there will be more places to spend money."
"correct."
As she said that, Gao Mu suddenly remembered something.
"How about using the money to buy a house?"
"Teacher Ren from the alley next door, the old couple are going to the capital to live with their young son. They probably won't come back after they go."
"So, the old couple discussed and prepared to sell the house."
"Teacher Ren's house?"
Li Jie touched his chin. After all, Teacher Ren and his father-in-law were still colleagues.
"Um."
Gao Mu nodded and said, "That's their house. That's right, their house is not cheap. It's more than 50 square meters, and it costs 6,000 yuan in total."
6,000 yuan, currently, is definitely a huge sum of money.
However, Gao's mother has saved a lot of money over the years. Even if the money in the bankbook is not enough, it will be enough if she adds a little.
If it's still not enough, she can go to her in-laws and the others to discuss it.
"Then buy it."
Li Jie said: "Mom, I will get some money for you later and make up the money. Let's pay it all in one go."
Buying an old house in an alley for 6,000 yuan is a waste of money.
Even though the purchasing power of money is stronger now, in twenty or thirty years time, the houses in this area will all be protected historical relics.
The kind that you can’t even buy if you have money.
"Need not."
Gao Mu shook her head and said: "Your mother, I am rich, so I will make up for the one thousand yuan for you. However, when your sister gets married, you will have to pay for the dowry." (End of Chapter)
