"Educated people? Wait for me to think about it." Qin Youfu frowned and thought carefully, "This matter needs to be carefully considered."
"Okay, Uncle Fu, you think about it first, I'll go back." Su Qingyun just mentioned it casually, and the specific operation must have nothing to do with her.
"Okay." Qin Youfu looked at her leaving back and continued to think, who could the educated person in the village look for?
Su Qingyun returned home from a walk. Breakfast was ready at home. After eating in a few seconds, she saw her mother packing things. She took out some of the things her grandparents had sent her and packed some more for her father. I packed up all the rare things I brought back.
"Mom, are these for Uncle Ji and his family?" Su Qingyun reacted after thinking about it for a moment.
"Of course, we didn't know this before. Now that our two families are so close and have a close relationship, we should move around more during the New Year and the holidays." Qin Ying said while tidying up, "It just so happens that your father is going to go The county, just take it to the town and give it to your Uncle Ji and the others."
"Dad is going to the county?" Su Qingyun thought for a while. The family had to buy things for the New Year and her father was going to make money for the New Year.
"I'll go with dad. The books I borrowed from the county library last time haven't been returned yet." Mrs. Chu's notebook has been with her for a long time, and it's time for her to return it when she's done.
"Go." Qin Ying didn't take it seriously and casually told him, "Stay close to your father when you get to the county. Don't lose him."
"Don't worry!" Su Qingyun smiled, her mother still treated her like a child.
Su Qingyun followed her father to the town carrying the things and went to the door of Ji's house. Ji's mother who opened the door was stunned for a few seconds before she said: "What are you, father and daughter, doing? You came here carrying things so early in the morning. Okay, the relationship between our two families doesn’t require these false gifts. Hurry up and sit down first. As for these things, we will bring them back later."
Su Qingyun blinked and said in a long voice, "Auntie, my father and I finally brought her here. It's so tiring to bring her back."
She frowned deliberately and rubbed her wrists.
That's true. Ji's mother thought for a while and said, "Ayue will help you carry it back later. He is young, strong and energetic."
Ji Yue, who just came out: "..."
Su Qingyun suppressed a smile, he was really a tool man.
Su Aimin said: "Sister Qiu, don't bother me. Just a few things are from our hearts. There are also some things sent back by Yingying's parents. One of them is for you. We are also here to help." It’s just passed on, please accept it.”
"Okay, okay." Ji's mother smiled helplessly, "Anyway, you always have a reason why I can't refuse."
Su Qingyun glanced inside the room and asked, "Where is Uncle Ji?"
"He went out for a walk. He will be back in a while. You guys sit down first." Ji's mother said casually.
Su Aimin smiled and said: "In that case, Sister Qiu, we won't sit down anymore. Please convey this to Brother Yu when he comes back later, and we will leave first."
"Why are you leaving after just sitting for a while?" Ji's mother refused, "This can't be done. I'll go out to buy groceries right away, and I'll leave after lunch."
"Sister Qiu, Yunyun and I have to go to the county to do some errands. We won't eat today. Let's do it next time." Su Aimin explained.
"That's it." Ji's mother hesitated. She couldn't force him to stay if someone had something to do. "Okay, I'll come next time."
Ji Yue glanced at Su Qingyun, "Are you going to the county library?"
"Yes." Su Qingyun nodded, "I haven't returned Mr. Chu's question book to him last time."
"Then shall I go with you? I also want to borrow some books again."
"Okay." Su Qingyun nodded.
Before going out, Ji's mother quietly stuffed Ji Yue some money and warned: "If you have dinner at noon, remember to pay. If Qingyun buys something, you are a boy and you must remember to pay. Don't be stingy. Do you understand?"
"I know." Ji Yue replied casually, put on his schoolbag and followed Su Aimin and his daughter out.
It was past twelve o'clock when the three of them arrived in the county. It was time to eat. Su Aimin was not in a hurry and took the two children to the state-owned hotel first.
"That's it, Ah Yue, you can order whatever you want to eat." Su Aimin said generously.
Su Qingyun randomly ordered two dishes, minced pork and cowpeas, and sweet and sour carp. Ji Yue only added a shredded yam. The portions of the meals were now quite sufficient, and three dishes were enough for three people.
However, Su Aimin added two more dishes with a wave of his hand.
"Dad, the three of us can't eat so much." Su Qingyun was helpless. The waiter at the state-owned hotel looked at her father as if he were looking at a rich man.
"Who said there are three people?" Su Aimin asked back, "Your Uncle Nan will be here soon."
"Oh, that's pretty much it." Su Qingyun was not surprised that Yuan Nan would come. He and her father were simply the best partners.
As soon as the ordered dishes were served, Yuan Nan arrived, "Hey, it seems I came at the right time."
"Hello, Uncle Nan."
"Hello Qingyun, I haven't seen you for a while and you look beautiful again." Yuan Nan said cheerfully.
Su Aimin frowned and looked behind him. Behind Yuan Nan stood an ordinary-looking young man, his eyes flickering, obviously not used to this kind of scene.
Su Aimin asked: "This is..."
Yuan Nan chuckled and explained: "Brother Aimin, this is my second aunt's cousin. His name is Cong Wang Lei. He has nothing to do and is now following me around. Don't underestimate him. My cousin is still a junior high school graduate. .”
Su Aimin frowned but did not loosen her eyebrows. What did you mean by gangster? Does it mean that his cousin will do business with them? It's not that he doesn't trust Wang Lei, but what they are doing is inherently risky. If something happens, no one can afford it.
He and Yuan Nan have been brothers for many years, so they naturally trust him, but when one more person suddenly joins the team, it's not that simple.
"Hello, brother Aimin." Wang Lei called after Yuan Nan, with a hint of flattery in his smile.
Su Aimin was silent for a moment, "Let's sit down and eat." There were some things that he couldn't say in front of the two children.
Su Qingyun naturally saw the undercurrent between the three of them. In this kind of business, the fewer people involved, the better. One more person means more risk, so he didn't dare to gamble.
Ji Yue watched his nose, nose, and mind as he ate his own food without saying a word.
The meal was a bit dull, and no one spoke much. Yuan Nan wanted to say something, but looked at Su Aimin's gloomy face and swallowed it back.
After finishing the meal, knowing that they still had business to attend to, Su Qingyun said with a wink, "Dad, Ji Yue and I will leave first."
"Well, come to the station about time." Su Aimin said.
"knew."
Ji Yue stood up and said, "Uncle Su, we are leaving first."
He went to the counter to check out. Su Aimin's sharp eyes caught his eye and said, "Hey, what are you doing, kid?"
Ji Yue turned back with serious eyes, "Uncle Su, this meal should have been invited by our family."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Aimin's face darkened, "Come out with me, there's no reason for you to give me money, so hurry up and pull him away."
How could there be any sense in asking a child like him to pay when several adults were eating?
"Yes!" Su Qingyun reached out and grabbed Ji Yue's wrist, pulling him out of the hotel.
Seeing the two children walking away, Yuan Nan finally said impatiently, "Brother Aimin, I didn't mean that. I was just thinking..."
"Is this the place to talk?" Su Aimin interrupted him. There was a waiter standing a few meters away. He was speaking loudly because he was afraid that others wouldn't hear him, right? When did Yuan Nan become so reckless?
Yuan Nan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that they were still outside. This state-owned hotel was still a public place, and there were many people and eyes.
He stopped talking immediately, and Wang Lei's eyes were a little confused.
Su Aimin finished the last bite of his meal in silence, then paid the bill, "Let's go."
The two Yuan Nan brothers followed him out of the door. The three of them walked to the entrance of a remote alley. Su Aimin glanced at Yuan Nan and said, "Come in with me."
Wang Lei stood at the entrance of the alley helplessly, watching the two people enter.
"Tell me, what do you mean?" Su Aimin frowned.
Yuan Nan swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "Brother Aimin, this cousin of mine is having a very bad life. His father left when he was a child, and now he lives with his mother, my second aunt. My second aunt is not in good health. , he needs to take medicine regularly, and it is impossible to do that kind of work in the countryside, so he wanted to beg me to help him make some money."
"I didn't think about letting him get involved in our business, or the two of us investing money to make money. I just asked him to run errands and do some things for us, which is equivalent to us hiring him to help. He is honest and lets him do the work. He just does whatever he wants, he doesn’t talk much, and he won’t ask too many questions. Don’t worry, I’ll pay him the salary.”
"Is this a matter of wages?" Su Aimin asked impatiently, "How many times have I told you that we are in a business where our hearts are hanging in our throats. The fewer people involved, the better. You just want him to help now." Receive wages, and then, as you said, he is very short of money. What if he feels itchy when he sees how much we earn in the future? What should we do if he wants to join in too? "
"When the time comes, should we let him join in and share the risk, or should we reject him? What if he has a grudge and reports us? Have you thought about these issues?"
Yuan Nan was stunned when he heard this. He muttered and was speechless. He thought he was just helping his cousin to earn some money, but he didn't think much of it. When Su Aimin said this, he was a little scared.
"No...it can't be right? He is my cousin." Yuan Nan said in an uncertain tone.
"Cousin?" Su Aimin sneered, "How many brothers fight against each other, and father and son turn against each other? What's more, your cousin, Anan, the human heart is too complicated and cannot stand the test."
Su Aimin sighed, thinking of his daughter-in-law Qin Ying's family. His father-in-law, who was such an awesome person, was betrayed by his subordinates who treated him like his own son. What else could he absolutely believe in?
In this world, interests can always move people's hearts.
