I Want To Be a Good Person in This Life
Chapter 58 New Year's New Weather
Fenghe Homeland is not only residential, there is also a row of storefronts outside it, about twenty or so.
The outer storefront was built much faster than the inner house, and it had already been completed by now, and the outer wall had already been pasted with bricks.
Before, Liang Fang once wanted to sell the store, but was persuaded by Zhuo Shao.
In the real estate business, it is very necessary to sell the house as soon as possible to return the funds. Although you may earn more by holding the market, selling the house early and then proceeding to the next project is a company that wants to grow and develop The way to go.
It's just that although the house is going to be sold, keeping the storefront is definitely the right choice.
Firstly, there are not many stores, and secondly, at this moment, the storefronts are really not worth the price.
After a few years, the one-year rent is estimated to have caught up with the current selling price of the store.
Of course, when online shopping becomes popular in the future, store rents will no longer skyrocket...but there are still more than ten years left.
"You want to open a decoration company? No need to rent, I'll give you a store." Liang Fang said.Seeing that the Fenghe Homestead was about to be completed, and he would make a lot of money, Liang Fang was in a good mood, so he became generous.
Speaking of which, his success as a big boss has something to do with his generosity to others.
A person who is stingy and stingy to others cannot be a big boss no matter what.
"No, Uncle Liang, I'll just rent a house... I'll buy it from you after two years when I have money." Zhuo Shao immediately refused. If Liang Fang wasn't Liang Chen's father, he might not Refused, but there is such a relationship...
Zhuo Shao refused, and Liang Fang didn't force it.
He took Zhuo Shao to see the house first, and after seeing the house, he took Zhuo Shao to see the storefront.
Zhuo Shao asked for three stores at a time, saying that he would come to renovate and open the store after the next year.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Liang Fang was a little surprised, his house hasn't been decorated yet!
"Renovate and complete the formalities as soon as possible, so that when Uncle Liang's house is handed over, people in the community can come to me to renovate it." Zhuo Shao laughed.
He was indeed a little anxious, after all he lied in Fuyang County...
After seeing the house, Liang Fang and Zhuo Shao went to the sales office of Fenghe Home.
The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the construction site has stopped, but the sales office is still very lively. Many people will come here to take a look during the Chinese New Year holiday.
When Zhuo Shao and Liang Fang came over, they saw someone looking at the house, and after seeing it, they directly gave a deposit to buy it.
There are a lot of houses in Fenghe Homeland, and when they are all sold, Liang Fang will definitely not be short of funds, and Liang Fang's company may not encounter any problems again.
Zhuo Shao went back in the afternoon.
Although he wanted to stay in the provincial capital, Shen Xinghuo still had a lot of things to do.
Fuyang County is located in the south, and the New Year in the south is different from that in the north.
In many places in the north, people are used to hoarding a lot of things, and they don’t go shopping during the Chinese New Year. Local shops are also closed during the Chinese New Year. However, in the south, many shops have the best business during the Chinese New Year, and they are reluctant It is not open, so the streets may be full of people during the New Year's Day.
And restaurants, during the Chinese New Year, are the best time for business, especially in Fuyang County, there is a custom that during the Chinese New Year, relatives should be invited to eat at home.
More than ten years ago or even a few years ago, when relatives were invited to dinner during the Chinese New Year, they were all cooked at home. From the first day of the new year to the tenth day of the new year, families with many relatives, sometimes noon and night, every day When I have free time, I either treat guests at my own home or go to someone else's home for dinner. Sometimes two families invite the same meal on the same day, and the family has to separate to eat.
This is the happiest time for children, because there are good things to eat every day, but for adults, it is very tiring.
Zhuo Shao remembered that his mother didn't like New Year's Eve, because during the few days when the guests were being treated, she spent almost every morning or afternoon preparing the dishes, and often she couldn't eat the dishes by herself.
It was his father who helped wash and pick vegetables, and his hands would turn red from the cold at the end.
It is precisely because of this that some people with ample money have begun to choose to treat guests in restaurants in the past two years.
In this way, not only does it not need to be tiring, but it is also very face-saving.
Shen Xinghuo hoped that the restaurant could be renovated a few years ago, just hoping to make more money by relying on this.
His current restaurant is too small, many people have to refuse when they come to book banquets because they don't have extra seats, which is really a pity.
Now that he has a new hotel, he can get more business!It's a pity that the box upstairs has not been decorated yet...
After Zhuo Shao returned to Fuyang County, he first helped Shen Xinghuo decorate the lobby of the hotel, and then helped Shen Xinghuo install various new equipment in the kitchen.
"If you hurry up, we will be able to open on the first day of the new year, but the time is too fast, and I'm afraid there will be some mistakes..." Shen Xinghuo was a little entangled.
Many people want to come to his new restaurant to treat guests, and he also wants to open it as soon as possible, but it is reasonable to make preparations for such a big event, and ask the blind man for auspicious dates.
"Mr. Shen, why don't you try the trial operation first." Zhuo Shao suggested: "During the trial operation, the whole shop will get a [-]% discount, and after the [-]th day of the first lunar month, find a time to set off firecrackers for the official opening."
Zhuo Shao mentioned the trial operation, many businesses would do it before he was reborn, but now, people in Fuyang County have never heard of it.
Shen Xinghuo was a little confused.
However, after Zhuo Shao explained it to him, he thought it was a good idea.
He plans to close the restaurant that is currently open on New Year's Eve, let the waiters and chefs get acquainted with their new restaurant, and then start the trial operation of the new restaurant on New Year's Day.
As for the issue of the waiter and chef's holiday for the Chinese New Year... as long as he gives enough money, those people are willing to work overtime.
Shen Xinghuo did what he said, and on the same day, he found some red banners and hung them at the entrance of his hotel, saying that it would start trial operation on the first day of the first lunar month.
The new Three Fives Hotel is about to open!
The news quickly spread in Fuyang County, and more and more people came to Shen Xinghuo to book banquets, but at this time, Zhuo Shao had completely put aside his affairs and returned home.
At this time, it was twenty-nine years old.
Liang Fang and his two children also returned home on this day.
Everyone was very tired that night, so they just ate something hastily, but the next day, they got busy.
On New Year's Eve, according to the customs of Fuyang County, it is necessary to worship the ancestors and worship the New Year Bodhisattva.
In the countryside here, just worshiping the ancestors has to be done several times in several directions. The whole process is very complicated, but it is simple in the county town. You can get everything done by ordering a table of dishes and lighting two candles. There are even troublesome people. People, just don't do these things.
Zhuo Shao didn't intend to bother with this, there was no way, neither he nor Liang Fang had done this before, and they didn't understand it at all, let alone Zhuo Ting and Liang Chen.
But they still have a lot of things to do, at least to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Even in Fuyang County, during Chinese New Year, the vegetable market is still open, but in the afternoon, those vendors have basically gone home, so the vegetables must be bought in the morning, and the prices of the vegetables this morning...
Not to mention anything else, the price of the chicken and fish used to worship the ancestors is at least twice the usual price.
Not only that, the vegetable market on this day was also occupied by countless live chickens.
Many people in the countryside around Fuyang County raise chickens. They usually don’t sell them, but they bring their own chickens to the vegetable market to sell them at a good price and make a small profit.
"Come and see all the chickens that are raised at home!"
"Big cock, big cock!"
"Reed chicken, come and see, reed chicken."
……
People carried chickens that were still flapping their wings, and warmly greeted the people who came to buy vegetables, and there were indeed a lot of people who bought chickens.
There is no way. Although the winter here is cold, things are not durable after all, and many people think that the chickens used to worship ancestors and gods must be killed now.
Zhuo Shao also bought a chicken, a big rooster with a particularly nice coat, besides that, he also bought fish, a pig's trotter with a hoof, some shrimps, and various vegetables.
Shuangda's vegetables are the most delicious, and radishes and cabbage are also delicious in this season. Of course, you should also buy some fruits...
The local farmers grow sugarcane. They wrap the sugarcane in straw and bury it in the mud, so that it can be preserved until the Chinese New Year. There are quite a lot of people selling sugarcane at this moment. Besides, there are also water chestnuts, apples, etc. Wait, wait, you can choose.
Zhuo Shao also bought some fireworks.
He wasn't interested in this, but the two children liked it very much. Of course, since large fireworks were not allowed in the community, he bought small things like the Sky-piercing Monkey, purely for the two children to play with.
Things at this time were much more expensive than usual, but Zhuo Shao still bought everything he wanted without hesitation.
Because he didn't plan to worship ancestors or worship gods, he could do whatever he wanted with these things... As soon as Zhuo Shao got home, he rolled up his sleeves and started working hard.
He washed the water chestnuts first, dug out the root of each water chestnut with a knife, and cut off a part of the other side, then put them in a pot and cooked them, and used them as snacks for the two children.
When Zhuo's mother was alive, every year she would grow some water chestnuts by the side of her rice field and cook them raw. Zhuo Ting would eat a lot of them every year. She was no stranger to this, but Liang Chen was surprised: "This can still be boiled." Come to eat?"
Fruits are used to worship the ancestors, and the fruits are very expensive in this season. When his grandmother was alive, he would buy some water chestnuts as fruits to worship the ancestors, but they would eat them raw.
And later... the taste of this food is generally troublesome, and it needs to be peeled. He has never bought it himself.
"It tastes good when it's cooked!" Zhuo Ting said, picked up one and began to bite off the remaining skin with her teeth. After taking two bites, she said, "Brother, you didn't add sugar when cooking!"
"Even without sugar, it's still sweet enough." Zhuo Shao said, but his heart was a little swollen.
His mother likes to eat sweet ones. When cooking water chestnuts, she always puts sugar...
Old water chestnuts are not good to eat raw, they will chew out scum, but they taste very good when boiled, and they are very sweet, Liang Chen immediately fell in love with them.
He didn't bite off the skin directly with his teeth like Zhuo Ting, but took a fruit knife to peel off the skin, put one in the bowl after peeling, and then ate one by himself. In the end, he saved a little after a while. bowl.
He happily held this small bowl to Zhuo Shao.
Zhuo Shao had the urge to kiss him.
Zhuo Shao cooked a very sumptuous dinner, and Liang Fang also cooked a few dishes. The big guys ate all of them and their bellies were round. After eating, they sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
In the first new year after rebirth, Zhuo Shao was very satisfied. Liang Chen kept going to see Zhuo Shao, feeling that this was the happiest year he had ever lived in his life.
When his grandma was alive, his life couldn't be more bad, but his grandma didn't like to talk to him, and when his father came back during the Chinese New Year, the atmosphere at home would become even more weird...
The other children are very happy to have good food during the Chinese New Year. They take the bones from the pig's head when the adults in the family disassemble it, gnaw the meat on it, and play together, but he dare not ask grandma for it at all.
It's a pity that Zhuo Shao didn't burn the pig's head this time...
Liang Chen took another look at Zhuo Shao.
Zhuo Ting also went to see Zhuo Shao.
Last New Year, she and her brother spent time at the aunt's house. During the New Year's Eve dinner, the aunt even picked up some food for them and asked them to go back to their room to eat...
Other people's families gathered around for dinner, how about her and her brother?
She remembered that she was crying at that time, and her brother's eyes were also red.
Fortunately, her brother has become stronger, otherwise, they might only be able to eat chicken feet, chicken necks and chicken heads today.
Zhuo Ting was very happy, but at the moment, Zhuo Rongming's family is really having a bad time.
Their house has not been sold yet.
But the news that their family was in debt and even wanted to sell the house to pay off the debt was spread. Because of this, when they wanted to borrow money for the New Year, no one was willing to lend it to them.
In the end, it was Zhuo Rongyu who gave Zhuo Rongming 200 yuan to buy something for the New Year.
200 yuan is not too little. The Zhuo family bought chicken, meat, and fish. They were planning to cook something delicious when Li Zhizhi came...
After their family actively started selling the house, Li Zhizhi came less often. It was about the Chinese New Year in these two days, and Li Zhizhi didn't come here.
They relaxed because of this, and then Li Zhizhi came, not only came, but also took away all the chicken and fish they bought...
The 200 yuan, after they bought things, there is nothing left, and now, the things have been taken away by Li Zhezhi... How will they live this year?
Fortunately, Li Zhizhi didn't take away the rice and vegetables they just bought today...
Qu Guixiang copied two green vegetables and cooked a pot of rice. In the end, the family didn't even eat meat on New Year's Eve.
They must sell the house as soon as possible!
Zhuo Shao was too tired years ago, and Fuyang County didn't pay much attention to such things as night watch, so it was only after nine o'clock, and he said he was going to sleep.
As soon as he spoke, Liang Chen looked at him.
Zhuo Shao could guess what Liang Chen was thinking, and he definitely wanted to sleep with him, but he still didn't ask, and silently refused.
He was really afraid that he would make a mistake...
Liang Chen couldn't sleep with Zhuo Shao, he was a bit disappointed, but when he thought that he had already slept with Zhuo Shao, he became happy again.
These few days have been living with Liang Fang, Liang Chen is very familiar with Liang Fang, although it is still a little awkward to sleep together, but he is used to it.
As for Liang Fang, he was very willing to get close to his son.
When he didn't raise Liang Chen before, he didn't have any feelings for Liang Chen, but recently he worried about this child all day long, and after worrying a lot, he actually valued this child more and more.
On New Year's Eve, everyone had a good night's sleep, and when they woke up the next morning, after Zhuo Shao made breakfast to feed the family, he greeted Zhuo Ting to go out.
Zhuo Shao plans to pay New Year's greetings to Zhuo Rongyu.
Although Zhuo Rongyu didn't take care of them too much, Zhuo Rongyu contributed to him and Zhuo Ting being able to leave Zhuo Rongming's house, and he was very grateful to Zhuo Rongyu.
Zhuo Shao had already bought things for Zhuo Rongyu's New Year's greetings.
He bought a bottle of wine and a cigarette for that uncle, and then he bought two boxes of health care products and a coat for Zhuo Rongyu.
"I'll take you there." Liang Fang said immediately when he heard that Zhuo Shao was going to pay New Year's greetings.
"Then thank you Uncle Liang." Zhuo Shao thanked with a smile.
Liang Fang sold the car before, but recently bought it back.
Business is all about ostentation, he may not have a house, but he must have a car... As for Zhuo Shao, he doesn't even have a bicycle now.
Even if there is, he has not ridden a bicycle for a long time, and he dare not take Zhuo Ting to such a far place by bicycle easily.
Liang put Zhuo Shao and Zhuo Ting not far from Zhuo Rongyu's house.
He didn't mind taking Zhuo Shao to the door of Zhuo Rongyu's house, and using this car to give Zhuo Shao a face, but the road was too narrow for the car to go in...
When Zhuo Shao and Zhuo Ting brought their things to Zhuo Rongyu's house, Zhuo Rongyu's daughter-in-law was playing with her children at the door.
Zhuo Shao was not familiar with this cousin, so after saying hello, he went in to find Zhuo Rongyu.
"Come here as soon as you come, what do you want to buy?" Zhuo Rongyu frowned immediately when she saw what Zhuo Shao was holding in his hand: "Even if you have rent and earned some money from part-time jobs, you can't spend it indiscriminately." Money, you have to think about the future!"
"Auntie, I'm not short of money now." Zhuo Shao said.
"You can't spend it indiscriminately!" Zhuo Rongyu was even more unhappy: "And since you are not short of money, why don't you go to study? Studying hard can be promising!"
Zhuo Shao didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Zhuo Rongyu didn't let him go, and kept talking about it, wanting Zhuo Shao to continue studying.
Zhuo Shao is very smart, and she firmly believes that studying hard can be admitted to university, and in her opinion, going to university is definitely better than dropping out of school to decorate someone's house.
Being a carpenter is not a good job. The carpenter in their village accidentally cut off one of his fingers when he was decorating a house. Renovation is carpentry.
"Auntie, I have a big boss who appreciates me. If I work hard, I will be successful in the future." Zhuo Shao could only promise this.
Zhuo Rongyu sighed: "If you think about it yourself, I can't help it... But as long as you are willing to work, your life will not be too bad... Don't be like your brother who doesn't go to work all day. "
The elder brother of Zhuo Shao mentioned by Zhuo Rongyu refers to Zhuo Jiabao.
Zhuo Rongyu's own son only graduated from junior high school, and Zhuo Jiabao's poor grades were nothing to her, but she despised Zhuo Jiabao for not working hard at such an age.
"This family is not decent." Zhuo Rongyu added a little angrily, thinking of Zhuo Rongming's borrowing money yesterday.
Running to borrow money on New Year's Eve, what is this?Her face will be completely humiliated by this brother!
Zhuo Rongyu was angry when her daughter-in-law's voice came from outside: "Mom! Uncle is here!"
Zhuo Rongming is here to borrow money.
Zhuo Rongming was so depressed that he didn't even have a bite to eat, so early this morning, he came to borrow money again.
He came to borrow money, but he didn't expect to see Zhuo Shao at Zhuo Rongyu's place...
If he saw Zhuo Shao in other places, Zhuo Rongming would definitely take a detour, but today's situation is different, with Zhuo Rongyu around, he is more courageous.
"Stinky boy!" Zhuo Rongming couldn't help scolding when he saw Zhuo Shao: "Why are you so vicious? You let others harm me!"
That Li Philosophy must have been found by Zhuo Shao!
"Didn't I just owe you [-] yuan? It's not that I didn't want to pay it back. You kid actually asked someone to force the debt..." Zhuo Rongming was full of anger, and complained to Zhuo Rongyu again: "Sister, this The kid is very vicious, don't be fooled by her!"
Zhuo Rongming said this yesterday. Zhuo Rongyu didn't say anything at the time, but at this moment, Zhuo Rongyu exploded: "Zhuo Rongming, what nonsense are you talking about! You don't pay your own debts, Are you still reasonable?"
She didn't say anything yesterday because Zhuo Rongming didn't want to quarrel with Zhuo Rongming because of the New Year's Eve, but today Zhuo Rongming came here early in the morning empty-handed, fearing that he was going to borrow money again, but she was not happy.
Her younger brother has two apartments in the county, and his family is much richer than hers. As a result, both father and son don't work hard to make money, but they come to borrow money from her...
Why should she borrow him?He came to borrow money before, but he never paid it back!
Zhuo Shao wanted money because he wanted to buy a small house in the city. The money she helped Zhuo Shao keep in her hands had already been given to Zhuo Shao a few days ago. Why didn't Zhuo Rongming pay back the money? ?
His new house should belong to Zhuo Shao, but now he is even reluctant to sell the old house to return Zhuo Shao's money...
Zhuo Rongyu found Zhuo Rongming particularly displeased.
Zhuo Shao was in a hurry to ask for money, so he had to sell the IOU to someone else for 2000 yuan, which was a total loss of [-] yuan!Zhuo Rongyu felt distressed when she thought about it, and the reason for this was because Zhuo Rongming didn't pay back the money.
Zhuo Shao had already greeted Zhuo Rongyu in advance, saying that he sold the IOU to Li Zhizhi in order to buy a house in the provincial capital. Although Zhuo Rongyu was dissatisfied, he also recognized it. Okay, now I can only be angry with Zhuo Rongming.
The outer storefront was built much faster than the inner house, and it had already been completed by now, and the outer wall had already been pasted with bricks.
Before, Liang Fang once wanted to sell the store, but was persuaded by Zhuo Shao.
In the real estate business, it is very necessary to sell the house as soon as possible to return the funds. Although you may earn more by holding the market, selling the house early and then proceeding to the next project is a company that wants to grow and develop The way to go.

"No, Uncle Liang, I'll just rent a house... I'll buy it from you after two years when I have money." Zhuo Shao immediately refused. If Liang Fang wasn't Liang Chen's father, he might not Refused, but there is such a relationship...
Zhuo Shao refused, and Liang Fang didn't force it.
He took Zhuo Shao to see the house first, and after seeing the house, he took Zhuo Shao to see the storefront.
Zhuo Shao asked for three stores at a time, saying that he would come to renovate and open the store after the next year.

The new Three Fives Hotel is about to open!

Fruits are used to worship the ancestors, and the fruits are very expensive in this season. When his grandmother was alive, he would buy some water chestnuts as fruits to worship the ancestors, but they would eat them raw.
And later... the taste of this food is generally troublesome, and it needs to be peeled. He has never bought it himself.
"It tastes good when it's cooked!" Zhuo Ting said, picked up one and began to bite off the remaining skin with her teeth. After taking two bites, she said, "Brother, you didn't add sugar when cooking!"
"Even without sugar, it's still sweet enough." Zhuo Shao said, but his heart was a little swollen.
His mother likes to eat sweet ones. When cooking water chestnuts, she always puts sugar...
Old water chestnuts are not good to eat raw, they will chew out scum, but they taste very good when boiled, and they are very sweet, Liang Chen immediately fell in love with them.
He didn't bite off the skin directly with his teeth like Zhuo Ting, but took a fruit knife to peel off the skin, put one in the bowl after peeling, and then ate one by himself. In the end, he saved a little after a while. bowl.
He happily held this small bowl to Zhuo Shao.
Zhuo Shao had the urge to kiss him.
Zhuo Shao cooked a very sumptuous dinner, and Liang Fang also cooked a few dishes. The big guys ate all of them and their bellies were round. After eating, they sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
In the first new year after rebirth, Zhuo Shao was very satisfied. Liang Chen kept going to see Zhuo Shao, feeling that this was the happiest year he had ever lived in his life.
When his grandma was alive, his life couldn't be more bad, but his grandma didn't like to talk to him, and when his father came back during the Chinese New Year, the atmosphere at home would become even more weird...
The other children are very happy to have good food during the Chinese New Year. They take the bones from the pig's head when the adults in the family disassemble it, gnaw the meat on it, and play together, but he dare not ask grandma for it at all.
It's a pity that Zhuo Shao didn't burn the pig's head this time...
Liang Chen took another look at Zhuo Shao.
Zhuo Ting also went to see Zhuo Shao.
Last New Year, she and her brother spent time at the aunt's house. During the New Year's Eve dinner, the aunt even picked up some food for them and asked them to go back to their room to eat...
Other people's families gathered around for dinner, how about her and her brother?
She remembered that she was crying at that time, and her brother's eyes were also red.
Fortunately, her brother has become stronger, otherwise, they might only be able to eat chicken feet, chicken necks and chicken heads today.
Zhuo Ting was very happy, but at the moment, Zhuo Rongming's family is really having a bad time.
Their house has not been sold yet.
But the news that their family was in debt and even wanted to sell the house to pay off the debt was spread. Because of this, when they wanted to borrow money for the New Year, no one was willing to lend it to them.
In the end, it was Zhuo Rongyu who gave Zhuo Rongming 200 yuan to buy something for the New Year.
200 yuan is not too little. The Zhuo family bought chicken, meat, and fish. They were planning to cook something delicious when Li Zhizhi came...
After their family actively started selling the house, Li Zhizhi came less often. It was about the Chinese New Year in these two days, and Li Zhizhi didn't come here.
They relaxed because of this, and then Li Zhizhi came, not only came, but also took away all the chicken and fish they bought...
The 200 yuan, after they bought things, there is nothing left, and now, the things have been taken away by Li Zhezhi... How will they live this year?
Fortunately, Li Zhizhi didn't take away the rice and vegetables they just bought today...
Qu Guixiang copied two green vegetables and cooked a pot of rice. In the end, the family didn't even eat meat on New Year's Eve.
They must sell the house as soon as possible!
Zhuo Shao was too tired years ago, and Fuyang County didn't pay much attention to such things as night watch, so it was only after nine o'clock, and he said he was going to sleep.
As soon as he spoke, Liang Chen looked at him.
Zhuo Shao could guess what Liang Chen was thinking, and he definitely wanted to sleep with him, but he still didn't ask, and silently refused.
He was really afraid that he would make a mistake...
Liang Chen couldn't sleep with Zhuo Shao, he was a bit disappointed, but when he thought that he had already slept with Zhuo Shao, he became happy again.
These few days have been living with Liang Fang, Liang Chen is very familiar with Liang Fang, although it is still a little awkward to sleep together, but he is used to it.
As for Liang Fang, he was very willing to get close to his son.
When he didn't raise Liang Chen before, he didn't have any feelings for Liang Chen, but recently he worried about this child all day long, and after worrying a lot, he actually valued this child more and more.
On New Year's Eve, everyone had a good night's sleep, and when they woke up the next morning, after Zhuo Shao made breakfast to feed the family, he greeted Zhuo Ting to go out.
Zhuo Shao plans to pay New Year's greetings to Zhuo Rongyu.
Although Zhuo Rongyu didn't take care of them too much, Zhuo Rongyu contributed to him and Zhuo Ting being able to leave Zhuo Rongming's house, and he was very grateful to Zhuo Rongyu.
Zhuo Shao had already bought things for Zhuo Rongyu's New Year's greetings.
He bought a bottle of wine and a cigarette for that uncle, and then he bought two boxes of health care products and a coat for Zhuo Rongyu.
"I'll take you there." Liang Fang said immediately when he heard that Zhuo Shao was going to pay New Year's greetings.
"Then thank you Uncle Liang." Zhuo Shao thanked with a smile.
Liang Fang sold the car before, but recently bought it back.
Business is all about ostentation, he may not have a house, but he must have a car... As for Zhuo Shao, he doesn't even have a bicycle now.
Even if there is, he has not ridden a bicycle for a long time, and he dare not take Zhuo Ting to such a far place by bicycle easily.
Liang put Zhuo Shao and Zhuo Ting not far from Zhuo Rongyu's house.
He didn't mind taking Zhuo Shao to the door of Zhuo Rongyu's house, and using this car to give Zhuo Shao a face, but the road was too narrow for the car to go in...
When Zhuo Shao and Zhuo Ting brought their things to Zhuo Rongyu's house, Zhuo Rongyu's daughter-in-law was playing with her children at the door.
Zhuo Shao was not familiar with this cousin, so after saying hello, he went in to find Zhuo Rongyu.
"Come here as soon as you come, what do you want to buy?" Zhuo Rongyu frowned immediately when she saw what Zhuo Shao was holding in his hand: "Even if you have rent and earned some money from part-time jobs, you can't spend it indiscriminately." Money, you have to think about the future!"
"Auntie, I'm not short of money now." Zhuo Shao said.
"You can't spend it indiscriminately!" Zhuo Rongyu was even more unhappy: "And since you are not short of money, why don't you go to study? Studying hard can be promising!"
Zhuo Shao didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Zhuo Rongyu didn't let him go, and kept talking about it, wanting Zhuo Shao to continue studying.
Zhuo Shao is very smart, and she firmly believes that studying hard can be admitted to university, and in her opinion, going to university is definitely better than dropping out of school to decorate someone's house.
Being a carpenter is not a good job. The carpenter in their village accidentally cut off one of his fingers when he was decorating a house. Renovation is carpentry.
"Auntie, I have a big boss who appreciates me. If I work hard, I will be successful in the future." Zhuo Shao could only promise this.
Zhuo Rongyu sighed: "If you think about it yourself, I can't help it... But as long as you are willing to work, your life will not be too bad... Don't be like your brother who doesn't go to work all day. "
The elder brother of Zhuo Shao mentioned by Zhuo Rongyu refers to Zhuo Jiabao.
Zhuo Rongyu's own son only graduated from junior high school, and Zhuo Jiabao's poor grades were nothing to her, but she despised Zhuo Jiabao for not working hard at such an age.
"This family is not decent." Zhuo Rongyu added a little angrily, thinking of Zhuo Rongming's borrowing money yesterday.
Running to borrow money on New Year's Eve, what is this?Her face will be completely humiliated by this brother!
Zhuo Rongyu was angry when her daughter-in-law's voice came from outside: "Mom! Uncle is here!"
Zhuo Rongming is here to borrow money.
Zhuo Rongming was so depressed that he didn't even have a bite to eat, so early this morning, he came to borrow money again.
He came to borrow money, but he didn't expect to see Zhuo Shao at Zhuo Rongyu's place...
If he saw Zhuo Shao in other places, Zhuo Rongming would definitely take a detour, but today's situation is different, with Zhuo Rongyu around, he is more courageous.
"Stinky boy!" Zhuo Rongming couldn't help scolding when he saw Zhuo Shao: "Why are you so vicious? You let others harm me!"
That Li Philosophy must have been found by Zhuo Shao!
"Didn't I just owe you [-] yuan? It's not that I didn't want to pay it back. You kid actually asked someone to force the debt..." Zhuo Rongming was full of anger, and complained to Zhuo Rongyu again: "Sister, this The kid is very vicious, don't be fooled by her!"
Zhuo Rongming said this yesterday. Zhuo Rongyu didn't say anything at the time, but at this moment, Zhuo Rongyu exploded: "Zhuo Rongming, what nonsense are you talking about! You don't pay your own debts, Are you still reasonable?"
She didn't say anything yesterday because Zhuo Rongming didn't want to quarrel with Zhuo Rongming because of the New Year's Eve, but today Zhuo Rongming came here early in the morning empty-handed, fearing that he was going to borrow money again, but she was not happy.
Her younger brother has two apartments in the county, and his family is much richer than hers. As a result, both father and son don't work hard to make money, but they come to borrow money from her...
Why should she borrow him?He came to borrow money before, but he never paid it back!
Zhuo Shao wanted money because he wanted to buy a small house in the city. The money she helped Zhuo Shao keep in her hands had already been given to Zhuo Shao a few days ago. Why didn't Zhuo Rongming pay back the money? ?
His new house should belong to Zhuo Shao, but now he is even reluctant to sell the old house to return Zhuo Shao's money...
Zhuo Rongyu found Zhuo Rongming particularly displeased.
Zhuo Shao was in a hurry to ask for money, so he had to sell the IOU to someone else for 2000 yuan, which was a total loss of [-] yuan!Zhuo Rongyu felt distressed when she thought about it, and the reason for this was because Zhuo Rongming didn't pay back the money.
Zhuo Shao had already greeted Zhuo Rongyu in advance, saying that he sold the IOU to Li Zhizhi in order to buy a house in the provincial capital. Although Zhuo Rongyu was dissatisfied, he also recognized it. Okay, now I can only be angry with Zhuo Rongming.
