I earn really hard money

Chapter 192

After watching the video, He Xia sent Zhou Shiliu a WeChat reply. Bang insisted on a few compliments, and then got a beating emoji.

He Xia tidied up a bit, had breakfast at the hotel, then called the driver Yang Zicheng and asked him to pick her up at the parking lot.

At ten o'clock, the Mercedes-Benz V set off from the Grand Hyatt Hotel and headed for Xiang City.

"Boss, yesterday I went to the audition site to have a look, the atmosphere was quite hot, but only one pass in three hours, haha..."

Yang Zicheng smiled and talked about what he saw and heard yesterday.

He Xia smiled and said, "It would be nice to have one, right..."

Speaking of this matter, He Xia called Lu Qian to learn more about the progress of the event.

In fact, there is not much progress. For He Xia, six days have passed, but the real world is only one day.

At present, the iron and steel factory has negotiated.

The result was similar to what He Xia had guessed. When the locals heard that a reality show was going to be recorded in the abandoned steel factory, they immediately expressed great enthusiasm. Not only did they not charge the venue fee, but they also provided many conveniences.

Various aspects of inspection and other projects have been given green lights all the way, and the review and approval is very fast.

The only requirement is that after the recording of the reality show is over, the local area can use this name to promote it and turn the steel plant into an Internet celebrity attraction.

For this request, Xia Tian Entertainment did not refuse, and at the same time signed a contract to ensure that if there is still a need to use the steel factory to record programs later, it will not be rejected.

In addition, He Xia also learned about the specific situation of the current audition. The quota for eight men is already full, but it is not the final list. If a faster one emerges, it will replace the previous contestants.

As for the women, only five people have cleared the level, including Zhou Shiliu...

Considering that there is still half of the time for the audition, He Xia is not in a hurry, and believes that he will be able to gather eight people in the end.

It is only [-] kilometers from Xingcheng to Xiangshi, and it will soon reach the place where the navigation is set by taking the high speed.

After getting off the car, He Xia said to Yang Zicheng, "You can find a hotel nearby to stay in, and if you want to use the car, I will contact you."

"Okay, boss, I'm always on call, don't worry!"

Yang Zicheng is very measured, even if he has a boss, he will not leave too far.

He Xia waved to Yang Zicheng, then walked towards the familiar street.

The place where He Xia's parents live in Xiangshi is not in the new urban area, not even on the side of the main road. The walls of the houses on both sides of an old street are mottled. In the image, it seems that he moved here when he was in elementary school.

He Xia didn't know the reason for buying the house at the time, and she never asked her parents about it. It seems that all children are the same, and they are not sensitive to housing issues, at least when they were children.

Walking in the old streets, everything is so familiar, but it feels very far away. Shops, trees and even a stone bench, every place has left memories of childhood.

The tree that was climbed, the small ditch that was dug, the low roof that was turned over...

When I came back this time, my mood was very different from before. In the past, I was either in a hurry or worried, but now I walked leisurely and felt very relaxed. Many childhood images came to my mind.

The Xiaohei Internet cafe that I had been to secretly has changed its door and turned into a barber shop.

There is a low wall with a deep impression. When I was a child, I climbed with my senior brother, and then fell from it and fell into the mud. The pain was okay, but I was afraid of being scolded and beaten after returning home.

"Oh, this is... Xia Xia from Dawei's family, right?"

Passing by a small shop, an old lady wearing reading glasses sitting in the shop greeted warmly.

Dawei is the name of He Xia's father, He Dawei.

"Grandma Zhang, hello."

He Xia smiled and waved to the old man. This is the grocery store I frequented when I was a child. It has everything from hot strips and hot slices to spinning top water guns.

"Come back to see your parents? I heard that you work in the capital, are you talking about a little girlfriend?"

There are not many common topics between the old and the young, and it is one of the few pleasures for them to inquire about the short stories of their parents.

He Xia smiled and said: "Life in the capital is fast-paced, busy with work, and I don't have time to talk about friends for now. Well, Grandma Zhang, I'm going back. Take care of your health. Goodbye."

"Hey, goodbye, I usually come back and see."

Say goodbye to the small shop, and walk more than ten meters forward to see your home.

The six-storey old houses are not like the newly built residential areas with walls. They are just next to the street. The walls are faded and peeled off, and various lines are messy. It looks like a fish that slipped through the old city renovation.

He Xia stood in the distance and looked at the balcony in his memory. After a long while, he continued to walk home, and suddenly saw a supermarket farther away.

"That's the supermarket my mother mentioned, right?"

He Xia's heart skipped a beat, and she walked towards the supermarket.

Kelong Supermarket, an ordinary small supermarket, has no problem meeting the daily needs of nearby residents.

When He Xia walked into the supermarket, she immediately saw her mother standing by the checkout counter playing with her mobile phone, while chatting with a colleague at another checkout desk. There were three checkout desks in total, but two were opened because they were not busy.

"Taking fish at work is not a good comrade!"

He Xia smiled and muttered, then took a shopping basket and walked into the supermarket.

He first picked some ingredients from the fresh area, and picked the best ones, including meat and fish. In fact, the best is just fresher. The supermarket will not purchase too high-end ingredients considering the consumption capacity of the surrounding area.

Then I bought some vegetables and fruits that I and my parents like to eat, and finally drinks and wine.

It's totally possible to book a table from the most upscale hotel, but He Xia doesn't like that. It's been a long, long time since I went home and had a busy meal with my mother!

He Xia carried the shopping basket and walked towards the cashier. Someone in front of him was checking out, and he lined up behind him. After the people in front left, he put the basket on the cashier.

However, Mother He didn't check out immediately, but picked up her mobile phone and clicked a few times. It seemed that someone was talking to her on WeChat.

This kind of small supermarket does not have too strict assessment requirements, and it is not easy to recruit people. The leader will not catch a little problem with working hours, as long as the task can be completed.

Most of the customers are neighbors nearby, and they will chat for a few days when they meet, and they don't ask for service attitude and efficiency, which is harmonious and harmonious.

Seeing his mother looking down at WeChat, He Xia coughed and said seriously, "Comrade Wang Hongxia, you will be fined two hundred for using your mobile phone during working hours!"

A joke made the other cashier's expression tense, and he hurriedly put away his mobile phone. He really thought that the leader was coming, but it turned out that it was a young man he didn't know.

He Xia's old mother, Wang Hongxia, was also taken aback. She hurriedly turned off her phone and looked up. She was stunned, blinked and said, "You..."

"What are you, pay the fine quickly!"

He Xia said with a smile.

Wang Hongxia came to her senses, with a smile on her face, she stretched out her hand and patted He Xia: "Stinky boy, even my mother is teasing me, I was shocked, why are you back?"

"Haha, Mom, hurry up and pay the bill."

He Xia didn't hide, and was hit hard twice, but it didn't hurt, and she laughed.

The other cashier showed a surprised smile and said, "Sister Xia, this is..."

While scanning the QR code skillfully, Wang Hongxia said, "My son, you don't even know how to say hello before you come back!"

"I told you before, I'll come back to see you when I'm done."

He Xia helped her mother toss out the things in the shopping basket.

"Oh, the young man is so handsome. Your mother said that you work in the capital. It seems that you haven't found a partner yet. How many can auntie introduce to you?"

The other cashier was very enthusiastic. He was in his 40s, and his own child was in high school. When he saw He Xia, who was handsome and sunny, he liked him from the bottom of his heart.

He Xia touched his chin with a smile. He didn't understand why so many elders like to help other people's mediators. Is it really rewarding to do this kind of thing?

The problem is that my mother didn't even object.

"Lili, you didn't say who was there a while ago, but if you have time, introduce it to my family, Xiaxia, and let them meet."

Speaking of this matter, Wang Hongxia is very enthusiastic. Her idea is to start a family first and then start a career.

"Sister Xia, it's easy to say. Xia Xia is handsome and has a high school in the capital. I guarantee that the other party will be [-]% satisfied, and the problem may be solved! Xia Xia, which unit do you work in in the capital?"

In Lili's eyes, there are good jobs everywhere in the capital, and any public institution is an iron rice bowl, and she will have no worries for a lifetime!

"Cough!" He Xia coughed, and said, "Auntie, what kind of job is there? If I have a job, how can I come back at this time, jobless, haha."

"Stinky boy..."

Wang Hongxia gave He Xia a wink, meaning don't talk nonsense.

Lili didn't care, and said with a smile: "Young man is joking with auntie. I know what you young people do. Unemployed people are equal to freelancers, and freelancers are equal to self-employment, small bosses."

Seeing that Lili is living in happiness, her heart is full of sunshine and gratitude.

He Xia smiled awkwardly, and said to Wang Hongxia: "Mom, let's pay the bill first..."

"What's the rush... Hey, why buy this, don't."

Wang Hongxia put a box of baijiu aside, it cost more than 300 a bottle, which was too expensive.

He Xia looked at it and said, "Yes, the grade is too low."

"The grade is too low, too expensive, you brat, and you didn't say hello in advance, which made me ask for leave temporarily."

Wang Hongxia put the things together, pulled a plastic bag to He Xia, then turned around and explained a few words to her colleagues.

"Sister Xia, hurry up and go home with your son to cook. I'm fine with watching here. I'll tell you there later, and I'll tweet you as soon as I have news!"

"Lili, thank you."

Wang Hongxia took off her work vest and said to He Xia, "Wait over there, I'll go change."

"Okay, Mom!"

He Xia carried two large plastic bags and walked to the exit of the supermarket. After putting the things on the ground, he took out his mobile phone and called Yang Zicheng, asking him to bring a bottle of good wine. He was in a hurry to come back and forgot to buy it on the way.

Seven or eight minutes later, Wang Hongxia changed into her own clothes and came out. Although she was old, her facial features were quite beautiful. It could be seen that she must have been beautiful when she was young. He Xia had inherited her mother's genes perfectly.

"I just called your dad, and he will be back in a while... Tell me, why did you come back from the capital all of a sudden, so suddenly, wouldn't you really be a vagrant?"

Wang Hongxia took a plastic bag from He Xia.

"Ha, it's true to be homeless, but after making a lot of money and returning home, do you still need to choose an auspicious day?" He Xia said with a smile.

Wang Hongxia looked strange, and said: "The brat has been away for a few years, and his mouth has become really eloquent if he doesn't talk about anything else! Tell me quickly and let my mother hear what's going on."

"It's empty talk, I'll show you something when I get home!"

He Xia smiled proudly, with his current wealth and acting skills, his appeal is very strong.

Wang Hongxia looked at the confident smile on her son's face, as if he really didn't seem to be lying, which made her look forward to it very much.

The supermarket is not far from home, more than 200 meters away, the middle unit went up to the fifth floor and returned home, He Xia stood in the living room and scanned around, everything in the house was the same.

Old sofas, old tables, old stools, old clocks ticking...

A little change in the nuances, but nothing major.

"Your dad will be back soon, what do you want to show me?"

Wang Hongxia put down her things and asked curiously while pouring water.

"Happiness must be shared with the whole family, and we will watch it together when Dad comes back!"

He Xia made a fool of himself.

Wang Hongxia laughed and scolded: "It's mysterious, if you can't get anything out in a while, let's see if your dad and I teach you a lesson!"

After saying this, Wang Hongxia walked towards the kitchen with her things, and suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Xia Xia, where is your luggage?"

I didn't pay attention to the busy work before, but now Wang Hongxia realized that He Xia didn't take any salutes?
"The salute is in the car, I didn't take it off."

He Xia went to the kitchen to help his mother with the work. He knew a little bit of simple preparations, but he couldn't handle the cooking.

"In the car? Did you drive back by yourself?"

Wang Hongxia said in surprise.

He Xia smiled and said, "Is this the expression on the way back from the car? Take a vaccination in advance, and what will happen in a while will surprise you even more. Be prepared in advance, I don't want to call an ambulance!"

"The tone is getting louder and louder. What's the matter, hurry up and tell Mom in advance!"

Wang Hongxia's curiosity was completely aroused.

He Xia kept shaking her head, but didn't say anything, insisting on waiting for her father to come back.

"Okay, don't say it, if you don't scare me and your dad if you say it later, we'll see how you end up."

Wang Hongxia stopped asking, but she was thinking secretly in her heart, millions, tens of millions, billions, she was confused and had no answer.

The mother and son were busy in the kitchen for about ten minutes, when He Xia's cell phone rang, and after humming twice, he said, "Mom, I'll go down for a while."

"Well, I see."

Wang Hongxia was busy cutting things, so she responded casually.

He Xia washed his hands and walked out of the house. He didn't know that at the moment the door was closed, the kitchen knife in his mother's hand stopped. read.

On the street, Yang Zicheng handed He Xia a gift box and said, "Boss, I only bought this one, do you think it's okay?"

The boss specifically told him to make it fast for lunch. Yang Zicheng didn't dare to go shopping, so he bought the best wine at a nearby tobacco shop that looked good and delivered it to him.

He Xia took a look and found that it was a local Jiugui Liquor in Hunan Province. He didn't know much about baijiu, but the packaging looked pretty good, so he asked, "How much?"

"One thousand and three."

When you don't know the specific situation, the price is the standard for distinguishing grades.

The bottle of wine in the supermarket just now cost more than 300 yuan, and this one thousand and three is obviously better. He Xia said: "It's not satisfactory... You keep the receipt for financial reimbursement. I'll go back."

Just as he was about to turn around with his wine box in hand, he suddenly saw a familiar figure riding an electric donkey not far away.

"dad?"

He Xia looked at her father in surprise, the overalls were covered with dust, and there was some dust in her hair, as if she had just returned from the front line.

"Hey, kid, I still don't believe your mother told me you're back, this is..."

He Dawei rode close to him, looking curiously at He Xia and the man in a suit and tie beside him.

"Mr. He, hello."

Yang Zicheng doesn't understand why the boss is so rich, but the boss's parents are so simple. Is it because they return to the garden to experience the lives of ordinary people?
"Oh, hello, hello." He Dawei greeted Yang Zicheng in a daze.

"I go first."

Yang Zicheng saw He Xia slapped his eyes, so he left in a hurry.

He Dawei pushed the cart, pointed at Yang Zicheng's back and said, "Son, who is that, your leader?"

"Where is the leader, haha!"

He Xia put his father's shoulders on his shoulders and said with a smile: "Let's go, go home and tell me, look, how about the fine wine I bought for you?"

"Yo, this wine..." He Dawei glanced at the wine box in He Xia's hand, and said, "It's so expensive, it's a waste of money!"

"Whatever is expensive or not, as long as you like to drink. Dad, what are you busy with in the morning, what projects are in the factory now, get all dirty..."

He Xia had the impression that his father worked in a factory that couldn't be said to be private or state-owned, but he didn't know what he did.

He Dawei patted the dust on his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Factory? That's old calendar, haha! The factory has long since faded away. In recent years, I have been working in a decoration company with my former co-workers."

Now He Dawei's job is fairly stable. The company takes over the decoration project, and they just work, not as hard as the master who is lying on the ground.

"what?"

He Xia was quite surprised, but at the same time felt guilty. Thinking about it carefully, he never took the initiative to care about his parents' work, and at most he collected some fragmented information from their parents' chats.

"It's too hard, Dad, you don't have to go in the future!"

He Dawei locked the car and said with a smile: "The income is not bad, it looks dirty, and they all work with electric tools, but they are not tiring!"
