Gu Shihong is holding a net bag of onions and a black plastic bag in his right hand. Inside are newly bought river shrimps. Even if they leave the water, you can still feel them bouncing in the plastic bag. On his left is a little tiger carrying a schoolbag. , holding grandpa’s hand, licking the lollipop and jumping towards the unit building.
"Grandpa, is this the lollipop Pig Man eats?"
the little guy asked, holding up a lollipop.
"Yeah, I remember it's called a rainbow lollipop."
"No, no, it's a super lollipop."
"Yes, it's a super lollipop."
"Grandpa, when we came over just now, I seemed to see my aunt."
"Why didn't I see it?"
"It's in the pavilion, blocked by a group of old ladies."
"Oh, something might be wrong with her." Gu Shihong didn't take it seriously.
The little tiger licked the lollipop two more times. Not to mention, from the side, he really looked like a fat pig man: "By the way, grandpa, my mother talked to my uncle on the phone yesterday."
"oh."
"My mother was originally trying to persuade my uncle to study hard, but when he said he didn't want to study anymore and wanted to come to Shanghai, my mother got angry and said that she didn't have her own house and was now unemployed and couldn't take care of her."
Gu Shihong paused and showed a thoughtful expression.
"Grandpa, isn't this my mother's home?"
"Yes." Gu Shihong let go of his grandson's hand and walked into the corridor of the unit building.
"Then why did she say it wasn't her house?"
"this……"
Gu Shihong didn't know how to explain this problem to him.
"Grandpa, look."
Little Tiger interrupted his thoughts and pointed at the dark place at the end of the corridor on the second floor and shouted.
Gu Shihong took a closer look and found a person sitting there.
"Boss Guo? Why are you sitting here?"
"Teacher Gu." Guo Qiang stood up and took two steps towards the corridor. The dim light shone on his face, which was quite ugly. He also had a scratchy beard and his head and face had not been washed for a long time. His mental state was similar to that of a homeless man on the street. Almost like Han.
"It's my wife, she...she won't let me in the house."
"well."
The old man sighed, walked to the door and patted it.
"Who is it? A woman's voice came from inside the house."
"it's me."
"Oh, Teacher Gu."
Squeak, the door opened, and Ren Ming's face appeared on the opposite side: "Teacher Gu, what's the matter..."
Halfway through his words, he noticed Guo Qiang standing behind the old man, and his face suddenly dropped.
Gu Shihong said: "Is there something that you can't talk about properly?"
"Yes, wife." Guo Qiang said pitifully: "Business has not been doing well recently, and I still owe Boss Zhan more than a year's rent. I also want to earn two more dollars."
"In order to earn those tens of dollars, I can't open a store now. What will I do in the future? Do you want to drink the northwest wind?"
"I'm going to find a job tomorrow, okay?"
Guo Qiang was caught by the police and jailed for half a month because he used spoiled ingredients to cook for an elderly man living alone on Huashan Road. He was also fined a lot of money and his business license was revoked. Gu Shihong knew this.
"Xiao Ren, if you kick him out of the house, won't you and your child have no hope?"
"Yes, yes." When Guo Qiang saw that his wife's attitude softened, he quickly hit the snake, followed the stick, and walked into the house.
Gu Shihong handed over the black plastic bag in his hand again: "This is the river shrimp I bought at the market. It is very fresh. I give it to the children."
"Teacher Gu, why are you so embarrassed?" Guo Qiang's wife said she was embarrassed, but her hand movements were not slow. She took the river shrimp in her hand, turned around and gouged out the man, then turned back and said, "I heard that Xiaoqin He and Gu Lei also lost their jobs, Teacher Gu..."
"It's okay. I'll call Qingyu in the evening and ask her to find another job for my brother. I'm used to it." Gu Lei said in the morning that he would go for an interview. Gu Shihong had no confidence in his son.
"Then...then ask your daughter if there is any job suitable for my man?"
"..."
Gu Shihong was speechless and kindly helped, not only giving him two kilograms of river shrimp, but also helping his man introduce a job.
"Let me ask for you."
"Thank you, Teacher Gu." Ren Ming watched him go upstairs with a smile.
"Grandpa, you said we would eat shrimp fried in oil at night." The little tiger was very frustrated.
"Tomorrow, grandpa will buy it for you tomorrow, how about it?" The old man said as he took out the key, but as soon as he inserted the key into the keyhole, his expression changed because there was a faint quarrel between the two people in the room. Voice.
"In the past few years, have you ever earned more than 6,000 yuan a month from anything you've done? Street sweepers earn more than you. What's wrong with me compensating for the big year? I earned it myself, what about you? You're eating your dad at home, You go out to gnaw on your sister, and you have the nerve to talk to me?"
In the past six months, Gu Shihong had become accustomed to his son and daughter-in-law fighting each other. He just frowned, turned the key and pushed the door open to enter the house.
Feng Xiaoqin stood in front of the dining table, holding a spoon in his hand and an apron on his waist. He was probably cooking. Gu Lei was sitting on the sofa in the living room. On the left side of the coffee table was a bag of pecan-flavored fragrant melon seeds, and on the right side There are piles of melon seed peels like hills.
What I didn't say was that it must be because he didn't care about anything after returning home and just idle there, which made Feng Xiaoqin feel unbalanced, so she came to the living room to quarrel with him.
Also, she had just compensated Feng Danian 50,000 yuan, and she was panicking because she had no money. Adding the blow of unemployment on top of that, her mood would certainly not be beautiful.
In the past, if Feng Xiaoqin was asked to cook, she would only whisper a few words behind her back about how difficult it was to serve a family. Since she started working as a delivery person outside, she cooks less and always complains. Complaining about this and that, she almost asked her father-in-law to convert her labor into money, so that the old man didn't need her if he could.
"Okay, the child is back, Xiaoqin, just say a few words less."
"Why should I say less?" Feng Xiaoqin pointed at Lin Yue and said with a mean look on his face: "Ask him if he has found a job without even saying a word. Don't think about it, it's definitely not going to work. He usually looks like he has his eyes above his head. , look down on this, look down on that, look at the people around him, who is not better than him, I won’t talk about it, look at this person, who makes over 100 million in assets from scratch without relying on his parents or connections. Look at Boss Shi. His education is worse than him. He didn’t graduate from junior high school. He opened a foot washing mall and built Wangxing Pavilion. He is also worth tens of millions. There is also Gu Xin, the same grandfather. He graduated from a famous university and is a civil servant. I quit my job and joined Aimeng Securities. I heard that my sister and I worked in the same company. Your brother-in-law, Shi Yuan, is not very well-educated, but he speaks excellent English. Even the tour guides of international travel agencies must have the same skills. A monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, I won’t say anything about Duoduo. After graduation, he will definitely stay abroad for development. If you don’t let me talk about him, what if the little tiger regards him as a role model in the future? "
Gu Shihong shook his head, not surprised that his son had not found a job, because after six months of observation, the name Gu Lei had become synonymous with "unreliable" in the Gu family.
"Little Tiger, you should do your homework first. It's noisy outside, so remember to close the door."
The old man sent his grandson back to the house to study. He was about to say a few words to his son to calm the matter. At this time, the cell phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and found that it was his daughter.
"Hey, Qingyu."
"..."
"I just got home, what happened?"
"..."
"Your brother? Yes, what can happen to him? Every day... Oh, there is something I want to tell you. Your brother got into a fight a few days ago and was detained."
"..."
"It's okay, I'll be back a long time ago. His boss found out about this and fired him."
"..."
"What you said this morning about going for an interview. I just came back. I don't think it makes sense. Just help him find another job. I know you are still angry about what happened last time. But after all, he is your brother. If you don't help him, who will? Him."
"..."
"What? Aimeng Securities? Project manager? Your brother? Impossible, impossible. Shi Yuan must have made a mistake."
"..."
Gu Shihong glanced at his son who was idle on the sofa with a strange look on his face: "Okay, I'll tell him."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and faced Feng Xiaoqin's puzzled eyes as he walked to the three-person sofa and sat down.
"Your sister said you found a job? Does that mean the interview this morning was successful?"
"That's right."
"Iamo Securities? Or the project manager?"
"right."
"Gu Lei, tell me honestly, what is going on?"
Gu Shihong still knows very well how much his son weighs. If you ask him to deliver express delivery, run Didi, the old man will believe him, work as a network administrator, sell insurance, the old man will believe him, and he can also be called a chef. Use your talents, but go to a financial institution to play with money and help companies go public and raise funds? He wouldn't believe it even if I beat him to death.
"I went to the interview and passed. It was very easy."
"I mean, how could you possibly get into a company like that?"
"Is Shi Yuan much better than me? He can enter, why can't I?"
These words stopped Gu Shihong. Yes, Shi Yuan could get in as a master of ceremonies or a tour guide. If his son was serious, it would not be impossible.
"No, Shi Yuan started as a new employee. You are the project manager."
His daughter works in a financial company, and the old man knows a little bit about the job classification there. After all, people often ask him at wine bars, how about describing how outstanding his daughter is to others? .
"I did a favor to their big boss. He originally planned to give me money, but I didn't ask for it. He knew that I was unemployed and asked him to introduce me to a job. Only after I went there today did I find out that he was Imon. As the CEO of a securities company, he definitely couldn’t let me suffer the injustice of starting as a newbie, so he gave me the title of project manager. He was also afraid that if I didn’t do well, others would criticize me, so he arranged for me to be a capable person. Assistant, finally encouraged me to take my time, saying that academic qualifications in this field are just a stepping stone. As long as I stay here for ten or eight years, see a lot, meet more people, and develop a network of connections, I can still gain a foothold after graduating from a technical secondary school."
"How did you help him? He is so kind to you?"
"I saved his son. If it weren't for me, his son would have been hit and killed by a dump truck. It's such a great kindness to compensate me for a middle-level position in the company. Is there any problem?"
"..."
When he said this, Gu Shihong was speechless. At first glance, this sounded reasonable.
But why do you think he was so cunning? The person he rescued was the son of the big boss of Aimeng Securities. Moreover, his brother-in-law Shi Yuan and his cousin Gu Xin were also in Aimeng Securities.
Gu Shihong glanced at his daughter-in-law. Just now she said that her son was not as good as Gu Xin and Shi Yuan, so she turned her face and her son became the superior of those two people...
Feng Xiaoqin's expression was quite complicated. She was surprised and happy that Gu Lei could join Aimeng Securities. After all, as a middle-level manager in a securities company, the basic salary alone was probably over 10,000 yuan. However, there was no thank you fee. She was angry because of that. Big boss, you must not give less money. As long as you get the money, you can go out and buy a house.
At this time, the door of the second bedroom opened, and the old lady came out with a blushing face, and said in a strange way: "When I was a child, the fortune teller said that the eldest grandson will meet a noble person after he is thirty years old. It seems that the big boss is destined to be a noble person. , There are some people who spend their whole lives calculating, but what do they get in the end after calculating over and over again?”
Feng Xiaoqin really wanted to tear her mouth apart.
At this moment, the door opened, and Feng Xixi walked in from the outside. She changed her shoes, put down her bag, and said "I'm back." Without looking at the people in the living room, she turned and entered the second bedroom.
Feng Xiaoqin thought that her sister was being made things difficult by the master again, and that Gu Lei wanted to discuss with her about finding a job, so she did not follow the old lady's common sense and followed her sister's footsteps.
Gu Shihong always felt that this matter was not as simple as his son said, but judging from the current situation, there would be no problem, so he stopped asking questions and went to the kitchen to cook------He The shrimps were given to Guo Qiang and his wife, but the onions had to be fried.
A night of silence.
The next day, when Lin Yue got up, Feng Xiaoqin was still sleeping. The little tiger followed Jue Shao's grandfather to eat xiaolongbao across the street. The old lady hadn't gotten up yet. It was summer. With the skill of [Photosynthesis], he ate Not eating was not a big problem, and I was too lazy to start a meal, so I changed my clothes and went downstairs.
As soon as he walked out of the unit door, he saw Feng Xixi waiting for him in the shade of the tree.
"Brother-in-law...I...I...will come with you."
She pointed to the BMW parked on the right. Her meaning was simple: rub the car.
Come to think of it, Feng Xixi's place of work is on Yincheng Road, less than one kilometer away from Aimeng Securities. She can take a private car. Who wants to squeeze into the subway and bus during the morning rush hour?
"Then why don't you wait for me to get up? It's so hot downstairs."
It has entered the dog days, even if it is morning, a little exercise can make the body experience the feeling of sweating.
Feng Xixi pursed her lips and said nothing. She followed him to the car and got into the passenger seat.
Just as Lin Yue was about to start the engine, he saw her take out a translucent plastic lunch box from her pocket. There were two flower rolls in the middle. In the grid next to it were salted duck eggs cut into quarters, cold cucumbers, and half a chicken steak.
"You haven't had breakfast yet. I got up early and made an extra serving."
She tried to appear as calm as possible, but her evasive eyes betrayed her thoughts.
Sure enough, there are some things you can't go back to once you know them.
Lin Yue wanted to be someone like Gu Qingyu, who would only regard the talk of awakening past life memories as nonsense and deceptive nonsense. Feng Qianqian was different because she needed a reason to convince herself whether to do something to her brother-in-law. After all, you have to take into consideration the relationship between sisters, the opinions of your parents, and the worldly outlook. This is much more difficult than it is for an ordinary little girl to overcome psychological barriers and become a mistress for a rich man.
Therefore, if a story is told well, women are indispensable.
"Thank you." Lin Yue took the lunch box and stared at it blankly for a while.
She asked: "What's wrong?"
"I look hungry."
"Then... how about you eat first and then go to work?"
Why was Feng Xixi waiting for him downstairs instead of waiting for him above? She was afraid that her sister would think too much after seeing her behavior.
Lin Yue shook his head: "We'll eat at the company. Let's go. I'll take you to work first."
He glanced at the north-facing window on the third floor and drove the BMW out of the parking lot.
Didn't Feng Xiaoqin deliberately not cook for him? If she doesn't do it, someone else will.
Judging from the current situation, Feng Qianqian's situation... is just a matter of time.
It’s time for Feng Danian to come. The next plot is quite exciting.
…
Half a month later, Yongfu Meeting was held on Yongfu Road.
Gu Shihong and Gu Qingyu met Shi Yuan's parents in the box.
Ever since he was choked by his brother-in-law and beaten again at the wedding banquet, Shi Yuan has been brooding over this, because those words were all true. Gu Qingyu had already taken him to see his relatives, but what about his side? It’s really unreasonable that two people are married and the man’s parents haven’t invited the girl’s parents to have a meal.
So after he joined Aimeng, Hua Yongyu also found a kidney source and successfully performed a transplant, which finally gave his mother the confidence to agree to meet her in-laws.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
The Wuzang Temple was doused with rice wine. Shi Yuan's father Shi An started talking more, and Gu Shihong was also a little tipsy.
Hua Yongyu became more and more unhappy as he listened. Why did Shi An keep praising Gu Qingyu? He was capable, beautiful, well-educated, good-natured, and well-informed. Gu Qingyu was three times better than this. Forty or fifty years ago, that She is also not qualified to be her daughter-in-law.
"I'm not praising my son. If our Shi Yuan goes to college in Shanghai, he will definitely be no worse than Qing Yu."
Gu Shihong laughed: "I know this. Shi Yuan studied very well when he was a child."
Hua Yongyu continued: "It's just one less Shanghai household registration. Well, just like your family. You said that those people who have Shanghai household registration at birth are not how good they are, but just because they are lucky. The starting line is different, then Can you catch up?"
This sentence made the four people present look embarrassed.
