Back to 2003

As soon as Tang Xiaoling said these words, her mother was stunned!

He looked carefully and asked with a bit of surprise, "Do you have a partner?"

Tang Xiaoling squirmed slightly: "Not yet, but there is a person from our town who has that intention!"

Her mother thought for a while and sighed softly: "Xiaoling, we have raised you so big, but we still hope that you can find a better family. Before, you didn't dare to raise conditions. With your current status, you don't want to ask for a wealthy family. , but if you want to find someone from the countryside, I guess your dad won’t be willing to accept it!”

Tang Xiaoling was silent after hearing this.

She didn't expect that she would sometimes choose other people's conditions!Unknowingly, I have lived a life that I hate...envy!

……

This year has been very joyful!

Many young people go to the south to work, but during the Chinese New Year, nine out of ten of them come back, and the village returns to its previous liveliness. Starting from the end of the twelfth lunar month, there is constant sound of firecrackers!

Young people are always idle and soon gathered at the entrance of the village committee. Some came to play cards and chat, and some came to smoke cigarettes. Anyway, it was cold during the Chinese New Year, and there was nothing important at home...

"Shi Lin, are you still working at the shoe factory?"

"Otherwise, where else can I go? How much are your salaries now?"

"I work in a toy car, and my monthly salary is 1800 yuan."

"Then my place is a little less, only 1650 yuan...I heard that in Dagang, the wages of better factories are 2000 yuan. In heavy-duty factories such as steel rolling mills, the wages are even 3000 yuan."

"Shall we go to Dagang at the beginning of the new year?"

Everyone was chatting with each other, but they were speechless.

"I heard that Uncle Tang's cement factory not only buys five insurances for its employees, but also gets a salary of more than 2500 yuan. For manual work, you can even get 3000 yuan... If you can become a manager, you can even earn four to five thousand yuan a month."

A young man said with envy.

"Are you lying? How can you be so tall?"

"You don't believe it? My cousin is now the team leader of the cement factory's production workshop. He earns more than 3200 yuan a month. He also received a bonus of 18000 yuan during the Chinese New Year this year, and earned more than 5 yuan in one year."

"Holy shit? More than 5 a year!"

"There are also five insurances? Isn't it better than the workers in the city?"

Everyone was filled with envy when they heard this.

“I won’t go to Dongguang in the new year!”

A young man puffed up his chest: "My family introduced me to a girl from Shuangshi Town next door... Her father said that if I wanted to be with her, he would take me to a cement factory at the beginning of the new year. It would be better than working in Dongguang, and it would be better." I can take care of my home.”

"So good? Take me with you!"

"Yes, take me with you too..."

Suddenly someone said with envy.

"You are stupid. To beg his future father-in-law, you might as well go to Uncle Tang... The cement factory belongs to Uncle Tang, and we all grew up under Uncle Tang's watch. He will give us some face, right?"

"Yes, after all, Uncle Tang is still my mother's cousin!"

"What? Tang Wan's monthly report is for my dad. She is my dad's goddaughter!"

"According to what you say, my dad still calls Grandpa Tang his godfather!"

"When I was young, Uncle Tang often went to my house to drink..."

A group of young people spoke one after another.

Last year during the Chinese New Year, most people didn’t know the income of the Tang family, but after this year, the pockets of those working in the cement factory have bulged up, much higher than those of them who went south to work, and everyone is yearning for it!

"I'm looking for Tang Qinghua... When I was studying, I called him big brother for so many years. He must take me as his little brother!" A young man risked his life.

"Yes, when he fell into the river in the first year of junior high school, I jumped in to save him!"

"He always ate my chili candies when he was little..."

"He won most of my pocket money when I was studying to buy snacks!"

"My classmate from elementary school for six years, please don't go too far by giving me a hand!"

The nature gradually changed, from asking for Tang Wenyuan to asking for Tang Qinghua...

"Hush, look, Tang Qinghua is here -"

Someone pointed out and saw a young man holding a cigarette and sneaking towards this direction.

"Tang Qinghua——"

Someone yelled at him.

"My grass!"

Tang Qinghua was shocked and felt relieved when he saw these people.

His mother didn't allow him to smoke, so he sneaked out to smoke on the pretext of making soy sauce, only to run into these childhood friends.

"What kind of cigarette? Let me see it!"

"Three good students still smoke? Turn it in!"

"How embarrassed are you of smoking alone!"

The group of people were not good people, so they took away the cigarettes and gave one to each person. As a result, half a pack of cigarettes was not enough, so they forced him to buy another pack, and then they sat together on the stone railing at the door, puffing away smoke, which was very similar. The delinquent social youth!

Tang Qinghua was among them, shaking off the ashes and blowing out smoke rings. His movements were skillful and there was no sense of violation at all!

"Tsinghua, I heard that your family owns three cars?"

A young man asked curiously.

"Well, yes!"

Tang Qinghua shook out the ashes.

"Your family also bought a house in the city?"

Another young man continued to ask.

"Yes, I bought it the year before last."

Tang Qinghua nodded happily again.

"What's a house in the city? It cost hundreds of thousands to build this apartment in his hometown, right?"

Another friend asked him.

"If you add it all up, it's more than 100 million!"

Tang Qinghua still answered truthfully.

"What a fool, over 100 million? How can your family make so much money? Does your father's cement factory have a money printing machine?"

One guy couldn't help but ask directly.

"Are you kidding me? How much money can a cement factory make?"

Tang Qinghua immediately sneered, looked at a few people and said, "My dad is kind-hearted. The cement factory workers are paid high wages, which are higher than those of workers in state-owned enterprises in the city, so they can't make much money in a year."

"Then where did your family get so much money?"

Everyone was puzzled when they heard this.

"This handsome boy earned it by himself!"

Tang Qinghua held his head high, as if he was a villain: "I told you back then that you must study hard to get ahead, but you didn't believe it. Look at me now..."

"I am now a shareholder of a large company. I do nothing for a month, and the dividends alone are worth hundreds of thousands! Not only that, the company also provides luxury cars and mansions!"

"Even the money my dad earned to open a brick and cement factory was all earned by me and given to him... So, you have to study hard, study hard, and make progress every day, so that you can stop going to the factory to drive screws!"

Tang Qinghua spoke in a lecturing tone, scolding everyone one by one!

"..."

Everyone feels so angry!

I almost wanted to beat him up!

This shameless thing still deserves a beating just as he did back then. When he received the notice back then, he looked like this all the time.It’s just that he is good at reading, but he always comes to stimulate everyone, but everyone can’t do anything about it!

"There is no future in screwing!"

Seeing that everyone could still bear it, Tang Qinghua struck again.

"No, beat him!"

"This bastard is still the same bastard from back then!"

"If you don't beat him, it's hard to relieve the hatred in your heart!"

Several people swarmed up and held him down.

"Damn it, eat my cigarette and beat me up! Give me back the cigarette——"

"Ouch, my new leather jacket is stained!"

"Brother, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

"I won't show off anymore... I'll buy cigarettes, one pack per person!"

After begging for mercy, Tang Qinghua was released, but his clothes were messy and his hair looked like a chicken coop!
