Reborn as a tyrant

It's clear, no wonder the master seldom tells other people's names. It's because of this, but it's really easy to take advantage of someone called Li Ge and Li Shu.

During the gossip, the three old men over there had already finished watching the golden orchids, and the later one said: "The Jinxing orchids are absolutely top-notch, and I thought the ones from Lao Ye's family were the best."

A hint of conviction flashed across Lao Ye's face, "Old man Zhang is right, he is indeed better than my family."

"Old Ye will admit defeat." Another old man teased Ye Lao.

"The fact is right in front of us, so he still can't admit it." Chen Lao laughed. He told Lao Ye a few days ago that he still didn't believe that there was a high-grade Venus orchid.

Ye Lao snorted, then looked at Jin Xinglan, then turned his eyes to the side, stared at it for a while, raised his hand and gently pushed aside the fluffy grass on it, good guy, it turned out to be a small piece of sprouts inside.

His actions attracted several other people, so Mr. Chen couldn't sit still any longer, so he found a place to study those buds, and found that their lives were very vigorous, as long as they worked hard, they could support them.

A few old men were studying Jin Xinglan there, and Teacher Li simply took Zhang Xiaobao to the second floor to take a bath and rest, as if he was at home.

When they came to the living room again, the old men had returned to their usual calm appearance.

Several people have been friends for many years, and they all love flowers. Only Mr. Zhang can afford Venus orchids, so when Mr. Chen saw Zhang Xiaobao coming down, he didn’t smudge, and said directly: "Old Zhang, we are all friends. It belongs to the younger generation, so don’t buy that fake set, offer the highest price, and take it away if it works.”

Glancing at Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhang got up again and observed the Venus Orchid, "Although it hasn't bloomed yet, you can tell from the leaves and buds of this flower that this Venus Orchid is of the highest quality. It was brought by your junior. Naturally, the price will not be lowered. Last time someone offered 100 million yuan for Laoye, so I will offer [-] million."

Several people were silent for a while, and Mr. Ye said, "That person is an overseas Chinese, and there are other reasons, so the price is naturally high. In fact, the Venus orchid in my house is worth at most 80 yuan. The one that Mr. Zhang bought The price is quite high."

"When did I say that Lao Ye paid less, and it was [-] million." They are all in the capital, and they know more or less what is going on in each family. Naturally, Mr. Chen knew that the overseas Chinese paid a high price on purpose. Mr. Zhang At this price, it is already very good.

The next few sprouts are much simpler, a total of eight sprouts, one hundred thousand each, Zhang Xiaobao kept one for himself, two for the master, two for Mr. Chen, and two for the remaining three Mr. Ye. One, Mr. Hu asked for one, and everyone was happy.

When Teacher Li handed him the passbook in Zhang Xiaobao's name, looking at the string of zeros on it, Zhang Xiaobao was a little dazed.

Is this a millionaire?

☆、Siheyuan

Now that we are in the capital, of course we have to take a stroll.

It just so happened that Mr. Chen's eldest grandson came back from summer vacation. His name was Chen Xiangjie. He was fifteen this year and only two years older than Xiaobao. Mr. Chen thought that they could have a good chat with each other, so he asked his grandson to take Xiaobao out to play.

Living in Chen's home for two days, Xiaobao also learned a lot of news from the master. Chen had two sons and two daughters, the eldest son, daughter-in-law and youngest daughter died in the turmoil, and now only one son and one daughter are left.

The person walking in front of him now is the son of Mr. Chen's eldest son. Mr. Chen's eldest son passed away at the beginning of [-], that is to say, before Chen Xiangjie was born, his father died, and his mother suffered from childbirth. He had to work again, and when Chen Xiangjie was seven years old, he also left.

Also because of this, Chen Xiangjie has a withdrawn personality and likes to be alone, so this time, Mr. Chen asked Chen Xiangjie to take Xiaobao with him, which also meant to let him relax.

"Hey! Where are we going?" It's been more than half an hour. Although this little way is nothing to Xiaobao, it's too blind to walk like this.

"Didn't you say you want to feel the atmosphere of the capital?" The implication is that this is the capital.

Zhang Xiaobao's head was full of black lines, and he said bluntly: "I want to go to the Great Wall, go to *** Square, and take a walk in the small alleys along the way, so that I can feel the breath of the capital."

Chen Xiangjie finally looked straight at Zhang Xiaobao, blinked his eyes, and answered after a while: "Then let's go."

After climbing the Great Wall and going to the Forbidden City, it was already evening. It seems that today I can't go to the small alleys.

Even if Zhang Xiaobao does not work on weekdays, he often runs all over the mountains. His physical fitness is not comparable to that of Chen Xiangjie who is bored at home all day.

When he woke up the next day, he felt that his hands and feet did not belong to him, especially his thighs. He even felt pain when walking up the stairs. It was such a sore and sore feeling that he couldn't describe it in words.

After all, he is still a 15-year-old boy, wanting to save face, when he saw Xiaobao, he pretended to be nonchalant with that zombie face, and took him out for a stroll in the alley after breakfast.

"Tell me, which alley do you want to go to?" After walking for more than ten minutes, Chen Xiangjie spoke first. There are so many alleys in the capital, it is impossible to visit all of them.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaobao blurted out, "Eight Great Alleys." After saying that, he regretted it.

Facing Chen Xiangjie's weird eyes, Zhang Xiaobao followed him to Bada Hutong, walked around, and felt that there was nothing special, so he wandered around with Chen Xiangjie in other places.

"What's the matter? Old Zhao, is your house sold?" A middle-aged man pushing a bicycle asked another middle-aged man on the side of the road.

"Not yet, I want to find a match." Old Zhao said with a smile.

"Tsk! Old Zhao, I didn't say that, your price is too high, and ordinary people can't afford it." The man didn't leave at all, stopped and said to Old Zhao.

"It's my ancestral house. If I didn't need money urgently, I wouldn't sell it!" In fact, Lao Zhao also wondered if his price was too high, otherwise he would have left without asking.

Zhang Xiaobao, who happened to come here, heard the conversation between the two, and knew that it must be that old Zhao who wanted to sell the house, and suddenly thought why he didn't buy a house in the capital. You know, the house price here will rise faster than the rocket in the future.

He touched Chen Xiangjie in front of him and asked him to go to Lao Zhao's side with him.

"Uncle, do you want to sell the house?" Zhang Xiaobao asked with a smile.

"Go, go, what are you doing asking this?" Old Zhao was upset at first, but when he saw that it was a child who came to ask about the room, he said angrily.

Xiaobao also knew the flaws of his age, and said with a smile: "I really want to buy a house. I just heard from that uncle that you want to sell the house. Is it a courtyard house or a building?"

"You don't care what house I'm selling, hurry up and go away." Lao Zhao waved his hands impatiently, a child is not at home to study hard, what kind of trouble is caused.

He sighed helplessly, couldn't he just buy a house by himself?

"Are you planning to buy a house?" At this moment, Chen Xiangjie said suddenly.

"Yes! What's the matter?" Zhang Xiaobao looked at Chen Xiangjie suspiciously.

"I remember that Uncle Ye has a courtyard house for sale, do you want it?" Chen Xiangjie's voice was neither high nor low, as if asking Zhang Xiaobao not to buy a house, but buns.

"If the house is good, of course I want it. You also know that I have some money, so I might as well buy a house instead of letting it go." Zhang Xiaobao nodded immediately when he heard that Chen Xiangjie had an acquaintance selling the house.

Old Zhao, who was on the side, kept looking at the two of them, wanting to see if what they said was true or false, and then found that there was no flaw at all. Could it be that this kid really wants to buy a house?

Seeing that Zhang Xiaobao and Chen Xiangjie were about to turn around and leave, they quickly stopped him, "Wait, do you still want to look at the house?" Anyway, if you want to see more than you want to buy, you should take one more person to see it. What a dead rat!

Zhang Xiaobao glanced at Chen Xiangjie, hesitant, after all his money was used for other things.

"It's okay to go and have a look." Chen Xiangjie said.

The two followed Lao Zhao to the gate of a courtyard, pushed open the vermilion gate, first saw a shadow wall, turned left through the gate, then turned right through the vertical flower gate, and saw a yard with several large trees planted in it. trees, and a grape trellis was set up in the corridor in front of the main house, which is very beautiful.

The courtyard is very big, and the house is not too old. It is considered a good courtyard in this area.

"What's the matter, is it okay?" Lao Zhao smiled proudly.

His ancestors were also high-ranking officials, but it was a pity that they were defeated, and only this ancestral house was left. Originally, they wanted to keep it for the elderly, but it was a pity that his son wanted to study abroad. Compared with the house and the son, the son was naturally more important.

After simply looking at the house, Zhang Xiaobao was quite satisfied, so he asked, "Tell me, how much do you plan to sell this house for?"

Old Zhao took a deep look at Xiaobao. If he wasn't a child, he really thought he would buy it. He shook his head and said, "50."

"It's high." Xiaobao really felt that it was high, of course compared with the current prices.

"My yard covers an area of ​​more than 800 square meters, and it's only 50 yuan, which is definitely not expensive." Lao Zhao said a little excitedly.

Xiao Bao was about to say something, and didn't want to be stopped by Chen Xiangjie, "Now you can buy a good building for 50 yuan, and your asking price for this courtyard house is [-], which is not high."

At this time, those who have jobs will be assigned buildings by their units, and most people will not think about buying a house, especially now that the buildings are equipped with hot water in the bathroom, which is a high-tech thing, so the buildings are more expensive than courtyard houses.

"But look at my yard. It's not damaged at all. You can live in it when you move in. This is my ancestral house. If I didn't wait for the money, I would never sell it." Old Zhao said.

"Come on, I really want to buy it. Tell me the lowest price. If it suits me, I'll buy it. As for the price of 50 yuan, you should keep it and sell it slowly!" Zhang Xiaobao changed his mind after hearing Chen Xiangjie's words. Said.

Old Zhao saw that Xiaobao really wanted to buy a house, and he was a little uncertain for a while, "48, this is the lowest price."

"I think you really don't want to sell." After finishing speaking, he planned to leave with Chen Xiangjie, thinking why Lao Zhao still didn't call him while walking.

Just as Zhang Xiaobao was about to leave the Chuihua Gate, he heard Lao Zhao shout: "Wait."

He breathed a sigh of relief, and was really afraid that he would stop barking, so he turned around and pretended to be relaxed and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The minimum price is 45, which is really the lowest price." Old Zhao gritted his teeth and said.

Chen Xiangjie frowned. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Bao stopped him and said, "Keep it and sell it slowly!"

"I think you don't have the money to buy it at all, right? I'm also stupid, and I really negotiated with you kid." 50 he did intentionally bid too high, usually 40 would scare those people away.

Zhang Xiaobao frowned, he thought in his heart how likely the master would buy it for him, and then found out helplessly that it was less than [-]%.

Turning around, he said to Lao Zhao, "30 plus furniture."

Old Zhao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Xiaobao in disbelief, "Do you really want to buy it?"

Zhang Xiaobao rolled his eyes, and changed his name to 'you', "Of course, I said from the beginning that I would buy it."

"It's only 30 yuan?" Old Zhao was happy, he pretended to hesitate, and then looked at Zhang Xiaobao with doubts, "Student, this is 30 yuan, not 30 yuan."

Zhang Xiaobao sighed, "So you agreed to sell it to me for 30 yuan. In this way, you can bring the real estate certificate and ID card with me to get the money."

Back at Chen's hometown, it was almost time for lunch, Zhang Xiaobao didn't bring Lao Zhao in, "You are waiting, I'll go in and get the money." After speaking, Xiaobao ran back to the room, took the passbook and ran out again, even Chen Grandma didn't even hear her cry.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaobao really took the passbook, Lao Zhao was surprised again, probably stole it from home!Glancing at the gate of Chen's old house, let him know, sell the house first, and then even if the family comes to look for it, the real estate certificate has already been transferred, and he can't get him to refund the money.

"Why don't you go home first." In fact, Xiaobao could see that Chen Xiangjie was somewhat tired, but he persisted.

"With you." Chen Xiangjie remained expressionless, but his tone was firm.

Going to the relevant department to verify the authenticity of the real estate certificate, paying the money, and then going through the transfer procedures, it only took more than an hour from the beginning to the end, which was unexpectedly fast, and then Xiaobao thought that this era is not as bureaucratic as the later generations, and the work The strength is naturally strong.

On the way home, Chen Xiangjie finally couldn't hold back anymore, his feet felt heavy, and it was extremely difficult to take a step.

"Let me help you!" Zhang Xiaobao took his hand tentatively, because after yesterday's contact, he found that Chen Xiangjie hated being touched by others.

Glancing at him sideways, Chen Xiangjie lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you."

Little Treasure was a little surprised that he agreed?

Feeling that just walking back like this, the atmosphere was too dull, Zhang Xiaobao had nothing to say, "Is that Uncle Ye you mentioned, the second disciple of the ancestor?"

Chen Xiangjie: "En!"

Continue to look for topics, "Where is his courtyard house?" He bought a 30-square-meter courtyard house for 800 yuan, and he was really tempted to buy another one.

Chen Xiangjie glanced at him sideways, "No, I lied to him."

Zhang Xiaobao was taken aback, and immediately understood why Chen Xiangjie lied to Lao Zhao, and said with a smile, "Thank you, senior brother." He is Li Shu's disciple, so it was right to call Chen Xiangjie senior brother.

Chen Xiangjie still responded flatly, "En!" His earlobes were slightly red.

Zhang Xiaobao looked at Chen Xiangjie, and said hesitantly: "Well, brother, I still have something to ask for your help."

"I won't talk too much."

Back at Chen's house, Zhang Xiaobao was overjoyed to see the real estate certificate in his hand, hugged it together with the passbook as a treasure, and hopped up to the second floor to hide it, then hopped downstairs again.

"What do you look like so frizzy?" Teacher Li happened to come out of Mr. Chen's study, caught Zhang Xiaobao and taught him a lesson.

"Master." Zhang Xiaobao called out with a smile, "Brother and I visited a lot of places today, the capital is so beautiful." It was so dangerous that he almost talked about buying a courtyard house.

"There are indeed many good places in the capital, you can go around, but don't play all day and forget to study." Teacher Li said.

"I see." Of course he doesn't play around all day, but he's here to do business. Siheyuan, he has become a local tyrant too!

☆, go home

One day, Zhang Xiaobao ran to knock on Chen Xiangjie's door.

"The door is unlocked." After more than half a month of getting along, they got closer.

Xiaobao pushed the door open and went in, and saw Chen Xiangjie sitting at the desk practicing calligraphy. He took a closer look, and his writing was much better than him.

Speaking of which, he only focused on playing these days, and he really didn't practice calligraphy well. Seeing that the desk was huge, he simply took a few blank papers and practiced calligraphy.

"What do you want from me?" Chen Xiangjie finished today's homework, put down his brush, and asked.

They have pretty much visited the capital, and the sun outside these days is also high, and the elders in the family also told them not to run outside.

"That..." Zhang Xiaobao also put down his brush, hesitated for a while, and said, "Last time, that old Zhao came to me and asked if I wanted to buy a house? I want to go and see." In fact, the appointment has already been made, but he alone People are a little worried, so I want to take someone to go with me.

"You want me to go with you." Chen Xiangjie used an affirmative sentence, took a deep look at Zhang Xiaobao, turned around and went to the bathroom to change clothes, saw Zhang Xiaobao still standing there stupidly, and said: "What are you still standing for? Let's go." Bar."

Zhang Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, and asked, "You agree!" Then he happily followed Chen Xiangjie.

Mr. Chen took Mr. Li out to visit friends. Uncle Chen and his son would not come back in a few days. Only Grandma Chen was left at home. Chen Xiangjie and Xiaobao informed Grandma Chen and went out with umbrellas.

As soon as they left the house, the sweltering air surrounded the two of them. Xiaobao squinted his eyes, hailed a rickshaw, and rushed directly to the place given by Lao Zhao.

It's not far from Chen's hometown, and it only takes six to seven minutes to get there by tricycle. At this time, there is no phone, which is very inconvenient. When they arrive at the place, the two can only find a big tree and wait under the shade of the tree.

Old Zhao was quite punctual, and he didn't keep them waiting for long. Behind him were two middle-aged men who seemed to be a few years older than him, and looked like intellectuals.

Old Zhao had briefly introduced to Xiaobao earlier that his two friends had fled to Xiangjiang to seek refuge at that time, and now they are both taking root in Xiangjiang and spreading their branches and leaves.

After the reform and opening up, many assets that were previously confiscated were returned to individuals, and now they can also return to the country and get their family property back.

After all, I have already made a family there, and it is useless to keep the house here. I thought it would be better to sell it, so I asked some former friends here to help.

It happened that Lao Zhao sold the house, and the price was fair, so he found him, and Lao Zhao went to Zhang Xiaobao to ask about it. It happened that Zhang Xiaobao was still thinking about buying some more real estate, so it was a match.

The house is a bit far from Lao Zhao’s courtyard house, but it’s still within the second ring road. It’s about ten minutes by car. The house is not a standard courtyard house, it’s a bit like a bungalow, and a bit like a villa. Overall it's pretty good.

"My father and Zhang Xian's father are colleagues, and our mother is also a best friend. We bought the house together at that time, and bungalows were popular at that time, but my father preferred domestic architecture, so he remodeled it." Mr. Liu took out the key and opened the door. He raised his hand and invited them in.

The soil in the yard was turned over. It should be that Mr. Liu asked someone to pull the weeds after he came back. The original flowers are still there, but they have not been pruned all the year round, and they are a bit messy. The cleaning is very clean, the walls and stairs look quite new, and there is no need for renovation for the time being.

"This building does not include a basement, it is two and a half floors, plus the outside yard, a total of 530 square meters." Mr. Liu took Zhang Xiaobao to the master bedroom to look at it, and then went to the third floor.

It is said that it is the third floor, but in fact, when the house was capped, the second floor was raised and an attic was added, so it is unreasonable to count it as half of it. Obviously, Mr. Liu also knows this.

"Although there is an attic in front of this place, look at the back." Mr. Liu opened a small door, and what he saw was a garden on the roof.

The flowers and plants are the same as the courtyard downstairs, a bit messy, but it can be seen that they are all precious flower seeds. There is even a small pavilion built next to it, with unknown flower vines climbing on it. There are stone tables and stone benches in the pavilion. Next to the gazebo is a wooden shelf with two hanging chairs made of rattan hanging on it. There is a small stone table between the two hanging chairs. You can imagine the scene of the couple sitting there and drinking afternoon tea. poetic.

"How is it? This place was designed and furnished by my mother herself, isn't it not bad?" Mr. Liu looked at the small gazebo, with flashes of reminiscence in his eyes. It is not difficult to see that he had spent some good memories here.

"That's right, Mr. Liu, you can quote the price directly." Zhang Xiaobao nodded in satisfaction, and asked the price directly instead of being picky on purpose.

Mr. Liu was surprised at first, but then understood, can he expect a child to negotiate the price with you like a businessman who has been fighting for a long time?Obviously not.

He also has a business in Xiangjiang. Of course, the sooner he sells the house, the better, so he didn't ask for an outrageous price. "35, the house, including everything inside, belongs to you."

Zhang Xiaobao thought about the things in the house, and there are still a lot of furniture left. His house is relatively new, especially the bathroom, as long as a water heater is added, it can be used. It is not much worse than a newly built building. It is 530 square meters, not counting the basement. Compared with courtyard houses, 35 yuan is still relatively small and expensive.

Pulling Chen Xiangjie aside to discuss with him, Zhang Xiaobao finally said, "Can we go and see Mr. Zhang's house again?"

"Of course." For a sale worth hundreds of thousands, Mr. Liu would not expect them to make a decision right away.

Zhang Xian's house is next to Mr. Liu's, but the layout of the house is completely different. It is a standard bungalow with the same floor height as Mr. Liu's, with a total of three floors.

Speaking of which, Zhang Xiaobao prefers Mr. Liu's house, but this house is more suitable for renting out, and it can be rented out to others after a little repair.

"I wonder how much Mr. Zhang plans to sell it for?" Zhang Xiaobao asked directly.

Zhang Xian thought about it, "My house has three floors, without a basement. It has a total of more than 600 square meters, and 40 is not expensive."

Zhang Xiaobao nodded, and then said: "A set of 25, I want both sets." Before Mr. Liu and Zhang Xian could say anything, Xiaobao said first: "You should know the house price in the capital, if it wasn't for me, I really like this house , 25 is too high."

The two walked aside to discuss, Xiaobao was also discussing with Chen Xiangjie, and finally bought Mr. Liu's house for 28 yuan, and bought Zhang Xian's house for 31 yuan.

After the transfer of ownership, the two houses officially became Zhang Xiaobao's. In this way, he had a courtyard house and two villas in the capital.

Looking at the passbook, Zhang Xiaobao frowned. The money was earned quickly and spent quickly. It took only half a month, and only 89 was spent, leaving only 46.

However, he didn't feel distressed at all. These houses will cost sky-high prices in the future, so why should he feel distressed.

When he got home, before he had time to be happy, Zhang Xiaobao found out that something was wrong. Although Chen Xiangjie usually talked less, he was not so dull. After looking carefully, he found that his face was pale at worst, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead. He must have suffered from heat stroke. up.

Quickly took the water, and then pulled his neck repeatedly. This is their native method, as long as the Sha Qi is pulled out, it will be fine.

After pulling out three black and purple Sha marks, Zhang Xiaobao finally said: "It's heatstroke, I've already pulled out your Sha Qi, you'll be fine if you rest for a while."

"Are you okay?" Chen Xiangjie, who had recovered, felt a dull pain in his neck and asked.

"It's okay! Our country kids often run all over the mountains on hot days." Zhang Xiaobao made sure that he was fine, and went to boil water and put it next to his bed. "Hurry up and sleep for a while, and you'll be fine when you wake up."

Chen Xiangjie turned his back to Zhang Xiaobao, tightly clenched his hands in the blanket, his physique was worse than that of his junior, absolutely not.

In mid-August, they had been in the capital for more than a month, and Teacher Li planned to take Zhang Xiaobao home.

When parting, Mr. Chen invited many of his students to have a meal together. It was at this time that Zhang Xiaobao met Mr. Chen's second disciple, Ye Linmu, and his apprentice, Kong Siyang.

I heard that Kong Siyang is a descendant of Confucius. He was gifted and intelligent since he was a child. He was enlightened by his grandfather when he was three years old. He learned from Ye Linmu when he was five years old. He has been the number one since he was in school. , can also speak English, French, German plus mother tongue, a total of four languages, often participate in various competitions, has always been the champion, just finished the college entrance examination, is this year's liberal arts champion.

Hearing all the messages from Mr. Chen, Zhang Xiaobao opened his mouth and sighed loudly, this is the real master of learning, the real winner in life, even if he is reborn ten times, he still can't catch up with him.

For this reason, Teacher Li's teaching has been stricter by several levels, and he strives to prevent his apprentices from being compared to the mud by his senior disciples. Of course, this is a funeral.

That's why Kong Siyang just entered the door, and saw his junior brother who had never seen Nian with shining star eyes, looking at him with adoring eyes, and the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly raised.

"This is Junior Brother Xiaobao, right?" As he spoke, he took out a big notebook and said with a smile, "I heard that you like to collect stamps. This is what I collected before. I will give it to you as a gift. Don't dislike it."

"No, no, I like it very much." Holding the stamp collection, Zhang Xiaobao smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, "Thank you, brother."

Kong Siyang turned to Chen Xiangjie, "Junior Brother Xiangjie, long time no see."

Chen Xiangjie: "Long time no see."

Kong Siyang: Why do you think Junior Brother Xiang Jie is in a bad mood?Then his eyes turned to the silly Zhang Xiaobao who was smiling, and he couldn't help but also smiled, and then he felt that the air pressure around Junior Brother Xiang Jie was even lower.

☆, gift

Teacher Li and Zhang Xiaobao were about to go home, and Grandma Chen packed a dozen boxes for them. In the end, Teacher Li cut them down to two large boxes because of what Teacher Li said. Carried on the back.

"When will you go back?" Chen Xiangjie looked at Zhang Xiaobao.

"Flight at seven o'clock tomorrow morning." The excitement of going home suddenly disappeared, and he looked sideways at Chen Xiangjie, "Brother, you must go to T City next time, I will take you to climb the mountain to pick wild fruits, it's okay Go to the stream to swim and catch fish, there are crabs in the stream! Fried in oil, it is very delicious.”

Chen Xiangjie's eyes flickered, "I will definitely go when I have time." He took out a box and forced it into Zhang Xiaobao's arms, "This is for you, I will open it when I get back."

The hand that had touched the lock paused, and then put it away, "I see, by the way, brother, after I go back, I don't know when I will come back to the capital for a while. I can entrust you to take care of my house here." ?"

"Yes." Chen Xiangjie nodded, and took the key from Zhang Xiaobao.

"Thank you, brother." Zhang Xiaobao smiled, his brows were curved, it's not that he never thought about renting out, but unfortunately there are very few people renting a house now, he just keeps it, and when he is admitted to university, if he is in the capital, it's just right to take care of it by himself.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xiaobao got up early to say goodbye to Teacher Li at Mr. Chen's. When he left, he didn't see Chen Xiangjie. A box of photos of him and Chen Xiangjie together.

The master and apprentice sat down until the county seat, and then planned to rest here for one night and go back the next day.

Zhang Xiaobao thought for a while, took the account book and passbook, talked to Mr. Li, and went out.

Two days before he came back, he withdrew 1 yuan to buy a lot of things for his family. Now he still has 45 yuan in his passbook. Now when he goes home, part of the money must be allocated. After thinking about it for a while, his account book I re-opened a passbook, transferred [-], and kept it carefully under the surprised expression of the bank staff.

"Are all children so rich now?" the employee who helped transfer the money exclaimed.

When we got back to the hostel, Teacher Li was reading there. When he saw Xiaobao coming in, he waved to him, "Come here, Xiaobao."

"Master, what's the matter?" Zhang Xiaobao asked obediently.

"You have always been sensible, so the master seldom interferes with your affairs. Have you told your parents about selling orchids this time?" Teacher Li put down the book and asked.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head, he couldn't hide this matter, so he said directly, "I didn't say anything, I plan to wait until I get back, master, I know what you are worried about, don't worry, I will give the passbook to my parents for safekeeping when I go back." Let him take out the passbook and show him?

"That's fine. After driving for a day, change your clothes and rest quickly." Zhang Xiaobao has always been very sensible in Teacher Li's heart. .

If he knew that the well-behaved Zhang Xiaobao spent nearly 90 yuan to buy a house that was of little use in his eyes, he wondered if he would just raise his hand and spank his ass in anger.

Early the next morning, they boarded the car back to their hometown. After passing through the town, the terrifying eighteenth bend came again. When they got home, Zhang Xiaobao got off the car and squatted on the side of the road retching. He didn't take motion sickness medicine this time. The last part of the journey was really uncomfortable, and now I still have a feeling of being overwhelmed in my stomach.

"Are you okay?" Teacher Li patted Xiaobao on the back, took out a bottle of water and asked him to rinse his mouth.

Shaking his head palely, they still have to walk two miles back to the village from the station which is not the station, usually it takes only 5 minutes to get there, but there are so many things today, and Xiaobao is suffering from motion sickness, so he can't carry too many things.

When he was in trouble, Xiaobao saw his elder brother-in-law sharp-eyed, and raised his hand and shouted: "Eldest brother-in-law, eldest brother-in-law, I am Xiaobao."

"Xiaobao is back!" The eldest brother-in-law was overjoyed when he saw Zhang Xiaobao. Seeing the things at his and Teacher Li's feet, he picked up the two heaviest boxes without saying a word.

First went to Teacher Li’s house, Teacher Li pushed Xiaobao’s box to his elder brother-in-law. uncle uncle.

After walking halfway, she saw his mother and his second sister. Zhang's mother first took the suitcase in Xiaobao's hand and the backpack on his back, then looked Zhang Xiaobao up and down, and said, "I'm thinner and darker too. .”

Zhang Xiaobao looked down at his fat waist, blinked, and said with a smile: "Why, I'm still fat! Mom, it's quite heavy, I'll take it myself."

"It's not heavy, we'll be home in a few steps." Zhang's mother smiled at Dasheng, turned around and went home.

When they got home, Zhang Xiaobao shouted, "It's better to be at home."

"This child." Mother Zhang put down her things and shook her head with a smile.

At this time, Zhang Dashan also came back from the field after hearing the news, accompanied by Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang, whom Zhang Dashan met on the way back.

The big student put down the box and was about to go home, Zhang Xiaobao hurriedly called to the elder brother-in-law, "Wait a minute, I brought something for the elder sister and the younger nephew, and the brother-in-law will take it there, so I can save myself a trip."

He took the scissors and opened the box, and took a bag full of food, such as dried fruit, candy, and chocolate, which he had hardly seen in the country, and he divided them into pieces last night. The ones are packed, and there are four smaller ones on the top, one for the uncle's house, one for the uncle's house, one for the elder sister's house, and one for grandma, and the biggest one on the bottom is of course my own.

Then he took out a small box from his backpack, "This is for my little nephew, brother-in-law, keep it." There was a silver lock in it.

He took out two more bags and asked the fourth sister to send them to the uncle and uncle's house. Finally, he asked his mother to move the boxes into the house. He greeted his grandparents and followed them in.

"Mom, I left this bag for my grandpa's house. You can send it to me later." Xiaobao took out a copy from the suitcase and handed it to his mother.

Zhang Xiaobao's grandparents are in the next village. Their home is only three or four minutes away from her grandmother's house. Grandma has three sons and three daughters. Mama Zhang is her youngest daughter. Naturally, she loves Mama Zhang the most. What fresh dishes do you usually have? They were all sent to Zhang's mother, and a few eggs I saved were also sent to Zhang Xiaobao to eat.

In fact, the reason is that, firstly, there are no grandchildren in the grandmother's family, and secondly, Mother Zhang is the most beloved daughter of her old man. Compared with her granddaughter, she treats Zhang Xiaobao, a grandson, better.

This kind of preferential treatment lasted until the little uncle had a cousin. In his previous life, he was jealous a lot because of his little cousin. Thinking about it now, it's really naive.

Closer to home, it was because of Grandma Zhang that Xiaobao secretly hid a copy for his mother to bring to grandma.

As I said before, Grandma Zhang is rather fussy, stingy, and harsh-spoken. She has almost no friends in the village. The neighbors in the old house are all quarreling. Naturally, she also had a quarrel with Xiaobao’s grandmother. It was because Zhang's mother took a piece of cloth to make clothes for grandma, and that cloth was left over by Grandma Zhang.

For this reason, his grandma and grandma didn't speak for three years. After that, Zhang's mother didn't dare to take things every time she went back to her mother's house. Of course, she would give some money in private for herself to buy. Zhang's father and Da Ya knew about this, and so did Xiao Bao. Only when I grew up did I know.

So he specially hid another copy, if his grandma finds out, she will be angry, and next time his grandma sees grandma, she will definitely say some bad things again, and then grandma will also get angry, and Mama Zhang will not please her.

Zhang's mother touched Xiaobao's head, nodded with a smile, "Your grandma didn't love you for nothing." She hurriedly hid her grandmother's share before leading Xiaobao out.

In the evening, the family naturally had dinner together again, and the little cousin pestered him to ask if the capital city was fun, and if he had seen the emperor, but Xiaobao was very happy.

After dinner, Xiaobao showed them the photos he took in Beijing, including the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. The two old people held the photos, which was very rare. They also said that it was worth seeing the Imperial Palace in their lifetime. if.

"Grandpa, grandma, next time I will take you to the capital and take a lot of photos." Zhang Xiaobao said, holding his grandma's hand.

"It's good that Xiaobao has this kind of heart. Grandma is old and can't make a car." Grandma Zhang touched Xiaobao's face and smiled lovingly.

After everyone left, Zhang Xiaobao opened his backpack and took out two exquisite boxes, and the passbook, ran to his parents' room, knocked on the door, "Mom, it's me, Xiaobao."

"I'm tired after driving all day, why don't you go to bed early?" Zhang's mother pulled Xiaobao in, and she was a little puzzled when she saw that he was holding something in his hand.

"Dad, Mom, let me tell you something."
