A sickly bamboo horse dressed as a villain

At 09:30 in the evening, after listening to opera on the radio with Grandma, Qiao Wen took out the gold bracelet from the bedside, put it on Granny's old and skinny wrist, and said with a smile, "Grandma, this is a New Year's gift from Ah Wen. "

Grandma Qiao raised her hand, saw the heavy golden bracelet on her wrist, opened her eyes wide and said, "Awen, why did you spend money on such an expensive thing?"

Seeing that he was going to take it off, Qiao Wen hurriedly held her hand to stop her movement: "Grandma, I can make money now, a gold bracelet is nothing, you just wear it well, not to mention that gold is not like other things, it will last forever." It’s all worth it.”

Grandma Qiao just let go of her hands when she heard what he said, but she kept staring at the bracelet and refused to take it away. Most of her life has passed, and the former glory and wealth have long since become old dreams. Seeing such a bracelet in his hand now, he has mixed feelings, and he doesn't know whether it is because of the impermanence of fate, or whether his grandson finally did not fall in this dark city.

The old man excitedly held Qiao Wen's hand and said, "My good grandson is promising."

Qiao Wen smiled and said, "Grandma, this is just the beginning, and life will get better and better in the future." She paused, and then continued, "I have another piece of good news for you."

Grandma Qiao looked up at him.

Qiao Wen thought about it for a while, and said: "This year is very lucky. I made a lot of money buying stocks, and the boss gave me a dividend. I got together and bought a small apartment. We can move out of the walled city and have a better life. Living with water, electricity and gas."

Grandma Qiao looked at him fixedly, and did not immediately express her joy, but frowned and looked at him suspiciously: "Awen, buying a house is not a small sum, and you have earned so much money in just over half a year. You Tell grandma, have you gone astray?"

Naturally, stock trading is not a crooked path, but the principal of stock trading is indeed not fair. Of course, he can't tell grandma directly, so he just smiled and said: "Grandma, don't you know what kind of person I am? I It’s stock trading and the dividends given by the boss.” In order to reassure the old man, he also took a special newspaper, pointed to a report on a stock market myth, and said, “Look, the stock market is so good this year, some people earn hundreds of dollars a year. Times, I happen to be in the lucky wave."

Grandma Qiao has little knowledge of stocks, it's not a bad thing, but it's also an opportunistic thing. He held Qiao Wen's hand, "Awen, you should be down-to-earth as a human being, and let's not get involved in speculation."

Qiao Wen nodded: "I was sensible, that's why I sold the stock and bought a small apartment."

Grandma Qiao sighed heavily, and said, "Ah Wen, Grandma is very happy that you can walk out of the city by yourself, but I have lived here for more than ten years, and I am familiar with the neighbors, so I am afraid that living outside I'm not used to it, and I don't want to part with the stall. Now that you've grown up and become independent, it's time to set up your own business. After you move out, grandma will often visit you."

Qiao Wen frowned, and said coquettishly; "Grandma, what are you talking about? Is it possible that I can still let you live here alone. Don't worry, I have made plans, and the Anan family will follow us We moved out together and lived next door to us, and everyone took care of each other. The new home is not far from the city, and you don’t want to give up things here, and it’s very convenient to go back and forth every day. When you want to live at home, or find a suitable new home Shop, make another plan."

Grandma Qiao didn't expect her grandson to be so considerate and thoughtful, and she was relieved and bitter at the same time.

Seeing her grandson grow up to support her own life, she is also worthy of his dead husband and son and daughter-in-law.With a long sigh, he got up and patted Qiao Wen on the shoulder, "Awen, let's burn incense sticks for your grandfather and parents, and then go to bed earlier."

Qiao Wen was as good as he was, and followed his grandmother to take incense and light it, and bowed a few times to the black and white photos on the wall.In fact, these people were not his relatives originally, but they may have the memory of the original body, so when worshiping at this moment, it is unavoidable that there is a bit of sincerity.

Grandma entered the house, and Qiao Wen lay down on his bed. The small room was so quiet that there was no sound on the floor, so the noise of the various households outside the window became unexpectedly clear. The couples who played cards and beat their children quarreled, and they could even be faintly heard. Hearing the sound of the man and woman fighting on the bed formed a scene of the bottom of the market.

Qiao Wen lay quietly, maybe because he had done too many things today, he couldn't help being a little excited, and he couldn't fall asleep for a while. He knew that Chen Jianan hadn't come to rub the bed again recently, so he couldn't help but look into the dark. window to see.

But having said that, why does this guy suddenly not like to rub the bed?

Because Lin Zihui gave him a holiday in advance, and there were still a few days before the new year, Qiao Wen, who was free for a while, was not used to it. The next day, he took a short sleep and ate the breakfast left by his grandmother, and then started Think about how to use the million or so in the bank to make a move.

The stock market will lead to a stock market crash soon after the new year, and it will take several years to return to the bull market.It was also because of the stock market crash that funds began to flow into real estate. In the next three to four years, real estate will usher in a golden age, followed by a real estate bubble.

That is to say, it is the best time to enter real estate now, but the problem is that they have limited funds. After buying an apartment for their own living, the remaining money is enough to buy two small apartments, which is far less cost-effective than buying land.

However, the problem is that compared with houses, land is much harder to buy.Hong Kong City is only this big, and the land is limited.In the mid-60s, due to the panic of the current situation, a large number of lands were sold off. Capitalists with courage and vision took the opportunity to hoard land and included large tracts of land in prime locations.Even if these lands are being traded now, they can't buy anything with the more than 100 million yuan.

So the only thing we can do is to see if we can pick up the leaks and buy a small piece of land with a cheaper location, but with a promising future.

He bought some of the latest newspapers, searched carefully on the advertising pages, and managed to find two pieces of land after searching for a long time. He also took advantage of the time to inspect the site, but he was not satisfied.

But he just looked at it casually, and didn't expect to see the right one right away.Sitting in the taxi, he flipped through the newspaper in his hand, and suddenly came across a report about the latest movie "Nanxia".

Qiao Wen has been in this world for almost half a year, and he has never been to a movie. This is the future Eastern Hollywood.When I think about it, I feel like I'm missing out on the whole world.

So passing by a theater, he hurriedly bought two movie tickets for tonight's [-] o'clock movie, and was going to go back and invite Chen Jianan to watch this popular movie together.

The end of the year is the peak season for collecting bills, and Chen Jianan has been really busy recently, taking a group of horses out early and returning late every day.After Qiao Wen went back, he happened to meet a Ma Zai whom he looked familiar with, so he asked him to bring a message and told Chen Jianan to go home early.

Well, it's really early.

After receiving the message, Chen Jianan hurried home at six o'clock, knocked on the door of Qiao's house, and asked out of breath, "Little Qiao, what do you want from me?"

Qiao Wen couldn't laugh or cry: "Didn't I just ask your little brother to tell you to come back at seven? It's only six o'clock."

Chen Jianan said: "I'm afraid you may have something to do with me."

"If I really have something to do, I'll go straight to you." He turned around and took out two movie tickets, and waved them in his hands, "I heard that the movie "Southern Man" that was released recently is very popular, and I happened to be passing by nearby on business today. I bought two tickets for the theater, and I invite you to watch a movie tonight."

Chen Jianan took a look at the movie ticket, and said happily, "It's been a long time since we went to the movies together!" Then, he handed the movie ticket back to Qiao Wen, "Wait for me, I'm going to rush Let's change clothes."

Before Qiao Wen could speak, he had already run out.

Qiao Wen: "..." You don't have to be so serious about watching a movie.

Chen Jianan was not only serious, he not only took a shower, but also combed his hair, put on an ironed shirt and suit, and polished a pair of seldom-worn leather shoes before inserting them. Pocket, chic and handsome downstairs.

Looking at his solemn attire, Qiao Wen couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Nan, you look like this. If you don't know, you might think you're going on a date with a girl?"

Chen Jianan froze for a moment, then bent his lips and smiled: "It's about the same anyway."

Qiao Wen didn't think about the meaning of his words, put on his coat and went out with him.In order to maintain his image—and of course because he has enough money now, Chen Jianan didn't ride a motorcycle, but took Qiao Wen to a taxi.

The theater was indeed full.Fortunately, Qiao Wen bought the ticket early, and the location is not bad, just in the middle.The only bad thing is that it seems that there are modern men and women in the front, back, left, and left, and they are still lovers.

So two big men who came to watch the movie were caught in the middle, which was somewhat weird.

"Southern Xia", as the name suggests, is a martial arts film.Martial arts action films are also a film genre that has just emerged in recent years. In the next 20 years, they became extremely popular, affecting a whole generation, and they are also a symbol of the golden age of Hong Kong movies.

For Qiao Wen, who has read countless films, due to the limitations of the times and technology, this film can only be said to be unsatisfactory, not very good, but the plot is indeed very careful.

Just as he was watching, he suddenly realized that under the shadows, the couple in front of him turned into a pair of kissing fish at some point, and made a little humming sound from time to time.

He coughed slightly in embarrassment, and the other party was so carried away with the kiss that he didn't realize it.

Naturally, Chen Jianan also saw it, and immediately had associations of one kind or another, and the person who made the associations was sitting next to him.Fortunately, he was a rational person, and quickly pulled himself back to God, and drove away the dirty thoughts in his mind.

He stared fiercely at the affectionate couple in the dark, not because he was angry that they affected him from watching the movie, but because he was angry that the two could be so unscrupulous, and he felt guilty just thinking about it.

The fire of jealousy teased him and burned him.

Qiao Wenwen wanted to remind him gently, but Chen Jianan suddenly reached out and grabbed the hair of the man in front of him, and directly pulled him away roughly.

The man turned his head and glared at him in dissatisfaction. Before he could speak, he saw him lightly pulling out a knife from his waist, knocking silently on the back of the chair, and said coldly, "Please don't disturb others watching the movie." .”

Qiao Wen: "..."

Not to mention, it's quite polite - if you ignore the dagger in his hand that gleamed coldly in the dark.
