Ye Fan and Hui Hui took the last bus home, and Yu Wentao had already prepared dinner. When they came in, Yu Wentao asked her grandchildren to wash their hands.
Ye Fan looked around and asked, "Xiaoqin has gone back?"
Yu Wentao came out of the kitchen with steamed buns: "Leave early!"
Ye Fan: "What do you think of her relationship with Laifu?"
"I -" Yu Wentao thought about what to say, "I don't know if I am overthinking it. I feel that they have a good relationship, but they are just pretending in front of us."
Geng Huihui came out with chopsticks: "Who is it? Sister-in-law? What are you pretending to be?"
"We all say that Laifu is good, but she thinks it's just average." Yu Wentao raised her chin at Ye Fan, "Your aunt directly said that she didn't deserve Laifu. She didn't dare to find fault with others anymore. She wanted to follow her. Laifu is so good but she is afraid that we will laugh at her, so she pretends to be as indifferent to others as before.”
Geng Huihui was speechless.
Dabao shook his head: "My sister-in-law is so naughty."
Ye Fan frowned: "We all hope she will be well, why are we laughing at her? She and Liu Ning broke up before, and we didn't laugh at her either. Who did we learn this bad habit from?"
Yu Wentao: "She used to do nothing but go to class, eat, and sleep. You didn't even know she had this problem."
Geng Huihui fully agreed: "Auntie, I can be generous and generous, and I won't be secretive when talking to Liu Ning."
Dabao: "Mom, I kept it secret for half a year. If grandma hadn't bumped into me, I might have kept it secret for how long."
Erbao gave her mother half of the steamed buns: "We don't care about her, just eat."
Ye Fan didn't want to care. While eating, he told his mother-in-law that Aunt Dongcheng had nothing to do and was willing to help Yu Hongwei find a partner.
Yu Wentao was worried: "Your aunt knows some extraordinary people."
Ye Fan: "My uncle's colleagues are extraordinary, her colleagues are ordinary people."
"How is your uncle's health?"
Ye Fan wanted to laugh when he heard this: "Every time Geng Zhiye visited his uncle before, he always said that it was the last year. No one has bothered him, and it has been almost ten years since he was still the same as before. If this continues, maybe the uncle, aunt and uncle will be the same as before. Even my aunt can’t survive him.”
Geng Huihui had something to say: "He sent us out on crutches, swaying and trembling, and I was worried that he would fall. My uncle and grandma said he was like that, his hands cramped."
Ye Fan: "That's called Parkinson's."
"That's what I mean." Geng Huihui said, "Grandma, please remind Yu Hongwei not to blindly date anyone these days. If the woman goes to school to inquire, good guy, if she eats the bowl and still thinks about the pot, she will be scolded for being dishonest. ”
Yu Wentao: "His father said that Hongwei had just arrived at the new school and was busy asking his colleagues for substitute teaching, and had no time to find a partner. Besides, eight out of ten teachers who can substitute in the city are from the city and look down on rural areas. ”
Uncle Yu has a store in the city. Geng Huihui thought of this: "Isn't my uncle half a city dweller now?"
Yu Wentao: "People in the city have the same pension as me. Your uncle goes out to sell vegetables every day. Even with this gap, people feel that he is not a good match."
Geng Huihui comforted her: "There are also people who don't care about their origin."
Yu Wentao nodded: "Yes, there are. There are not many girls like this, and Hongwei may not be able to meet her."
Geng Huihui thought about the classmates and alumni around her. Some of them didn't care, but half of them had the same virtues as her sister-in-law. It wasn't that they really didn't care, but they were just "satisfied with love" for a while.
Geng Huihui couldn't help but said: "It's really difficult."
Ye Fan: "You can find it yourself or ask your parents to introduce you next year. In a few years, the advantage of age will turn into a disadvantage."
"Can I not look for it?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Be like Chen Xiaohui and be greeted by relatives and friends every year. If you can bear it, it's okay. If you can't stand it, just look for her earlier."
Geng Huihui wanted to say that she didn't have many relatives in her family, but suddenly she thought of colleagues and leaders in the future. Leaders all over the world are the same. If grandma’s leader helps grandma introduce someone to her, her leader will definitely help her introduce her as well. If she doesn't see the boss, she must think that she doesn't give him face, or that she is a weird person and has a bad impression of her.
If we meet, we only meet once every three to five times, it is better to find a partner once and for all.
No matter how she thought about it, Geng Huihui felt that it was cost-effective to find a partner. If she was not suitable, she would break up, and there was no law that required marriage before falling in love.
Geng Huihui: "I haven't dated anyone yet, so there's nothing wrong with trying."
Ye Fan nodded: "It doesn't matter if you try it. It doesn't matter if you try it a few more times. The clothes you choose will not fit you every time."
Geng Huihui smiled reassuringly after hearing this: "That's right. I'm only twenty-two. I try one thing a year, and I'm twenty-five after trying three times. Twenty-five is not old."
Ye Fan: "We are relieved if you think so."
Geng Huihui: "Don't worry, my sister-in-law has learned from the past."
Ye Fan gave Er Bao a piece of cabbage leaves with chopsticks.
Erbao muttered: "I'm not picky about food."
Ye Fan: "You should eat it."
Erbao didn't want her mouth to taste like cabbage and didn't dare to be harsh. She ate the cabbage obediently and winked at her brother. Dabao reluctantly gave her a few pieces of eggs and a lot of shredded meat.
After dinner, Geng Huihui and her cousins went to sleep in the back. Originally, Dabao asked Geng Sensen to live with him. Geng Sensen felt that Dabao went to bed early - fell asleep at nine o'clock, so he decided to go to his parents' bed with his brother to squeeze in.
The next morning, Yu Wentao got up early as usual, tidied up the house and outside, went out to chat with people for a while, then returned home to cook porridge in a rice cooker, and then heated up a few steamed buns.
Dabao and Dabao were both up, so Yu Wentao gave them money to buy breakfast.
Erbao wants fried dough sticks, coke rings and tea eggs, while Dabao wants hot spicy soup and tofu curd. Han Dawei asked him if he wanted to drink soy milk. Dabao hesitated for a moment, then went home and found his father's tea cup and filled a bowl of soy milk. After dinner, Dabao went to school to find Faxiao. He gave him soy milk and went to class.
The boy from the island thought it was malted milk and wanted to say that he didn't like drinking malted milk now. When I opened it and saw salty soy milk, I was surprised and happy - there was actually salty soy milk in the north.
There is no salty soy milk in the north, at least not in university cafeterias. Dabao made this salty soy milk himself after asking his mother. There is also a little shredded fried dough sticks in the soy milk. The boy on the island couldn't help but drink it all after breakfast. After class, he asked Dabao where he bought it.
Dabao: "Geng Ji produces, there is no other semicolon."
"No wonder." The classmate reluctantly returned the cup to him, "Why do you live on campus when your home is so close to school?"
Dabao raised his eyebrows: "Go home and bring you salty soy milk in the morning? It's impossible for my family to make salty soy milk every day. If you want to drink it, ask the aunt in the cafeteria."
"Canteen aunt talk to me?"
The ladies and gentlemen in the cafeteria were very busy and had no time to pay attention to him. Dabao said: "Try it."
The next morning, they went to the canteen together because they went to bed early and there were not many people in the canteen. Dabao wanted soy sauce, vinegar and pickles, and they didn't bother him. Dabao bought two more fried dough sticks, cut them into small pieces and threw them into the soy milk: "Try it."
He took a sip and said, "Not even close. But I can make do."
The two of them were almost finished eating when Dabao's classmates appeared and were surprised to see the things in their bowls: "What is this? Why didn't I see it?"
Dabao: “Homemade salty soy milk.”
The students' goosebumps instantly appeared, as if they were encountering durian, coriander, stinky tofu and Houttuynia cordata at the same time, and saw a cut preserved egg.
Da Baole was delighted: "Have you ever tasted Hu spicy soup mixed with tofu brain?"
"Is this available in the cafeteria?"
The canteen has spicy soup and soy milk, but no tofu curd.
Dabao asked: "Have you ever drank?"
"Want to drink?"
My classmates wanted to drink it, and I wanted to try it.
Dabao nodded when he saw them: "Then we will start at half past six tomorrow and set off at seven o'clock. I will take you to have what I think is the most delicious breakfast."
At seven o'clock the next morning, the morning dew had not yet dissipated, and the sun was reluctant to let go. Three college students ran out of the school gate, crossed the road cautiously, and continued running.
At 7:20, the three of them went to the breakfast stall.
Han Dawei was shocked: "Dabao? Are you skipping class?"
"Why are you skipping class before class? Do you have any sugar?"
Han Dawei only had one kind of porridge. He was worried that some customers wouldn't like it, so he prepared a box of sugar. If the customers found it bland, he would add a little more. Since they are all regular customers, they are too embarrassed to add a lot, so even if they add sugar, Han Dawei's porridge will not lose money.
Han Dawei gave him the candy. Dabao took the tofu nao and added a little sugar to make it smaller.
The classmate frowned: "What does it taste like to add sugar to tofu?"
Dabao gave him two mixed things: "I still want to ask what this tastes like." Then Dabao took some steamed buns, fried dough sticks and tea eggs and asked Han Dawei to settle the score.
My classmates and I got up to pay at the same time.
Dabao: "The first meal is mine. From now on, everyone pays for what they eat out."
Han Dawei took Dabao's money and said: "Are you Dabao's classmates? This meal is called Dabao's treat, even if it is, just as a landlord."
Dabao pointed to the alley: "My home is over there. Let's eat quickly. After a while, my sister came out to school and saw us and told my mother that I didn't attend class well and ran out."
Han Dawei: "I still want to ask, how did you come out?"
"The school is not a closed management. Except for bed checks at night, you can go wherever you want during the day." Dabao warned him: "Don't tell my mother. Otherwise, no one will come to your place to eat in the future."
Han Dawei said in his heart, it’s useless what you said. However, when he saw Dabao obediently heading towards school after dinner, he didn't tell Ye Fan specifically.
Although there are discotheques, cinemas and other entertainment venues these days, they are all in urban areas, and students dare not go there, so Dabao’s classmates go to bed when they are tired from reading at night.
I woke up naturally and couldn't fall back asleep even if I wanted to. I don't know who suggested going out for breakfast.
Someone was too cold, so several roommates dragged him together, and then went to Dabao's alley to have breakfast. Dabao was there several times in a row, so Fa Xiao asked Dabao: "How about you go home to eat tomorrow?"
Dabao pointed to Han Dawei who brought them steamed buns: "Why don't you think he asked me to go home to eat?"
Han Dawei: “Because your family buys food every morning.”
Dabao patted the younger one on the shoulder: "In your eyes, Accountant Ye, who is a hard-working housekeeper, is so lazy. If I go home, I have to buy it and bring it to her mouth."
On the way back, a classmate counted the money: "You can't go out to eat in the future. Lao Han's food is delicious. I want to eat more every time. It will cost me a fortune this month."
Dabao looked at Xiaofa: What about you?
Six years ago, the fishermen on the island had some money. The university does not charge tuition fees. If you save 100 yuan a year in six years, you can afford a college student. Fa Xiao nodded to show that he had money.
Dabao: "Want to make money? Go out on Sunday."
A classmate who loves to eat asked: "Be a tutor?"
Dabao was disgusted: "I spent a month with my sister playing Birdsong during the summer vacation. I don't want to be a tutor. My mother is in the wholesale business. Should we ask her to get tapes and sell them at the gate of the park?"
Classmate: "Set up a stall?"
As soon as Dabao heard this tone, he knew that he was disgusted: "People set up stalls for speculation, we call them work-study students." Fa Xiao laughed, Dabao was still the Dabao he knew before, and he kept making one crooked theory after another.
Classmate: "Will the school find out?"
Dabao is also afraid of being called to the teacher’s office: “We won’t be bumped into by the teacher when we go out once or twice a month.”
The four of them looked at each other and decided - do it!
On Saturday afternoon, Dabao collected everyone's living expenses for the next month and wrote them down one by one in a notebook. When he got home, he went to his mother to wholesale tapes, and asked for the most popular tapes.
Ye Fan opened the warehouse and asked him to pick and choose: "If you weren't my biological son——"
"Even if I'm not your own son, I wouldn't dare to be so picky." Dabao said, "Mom, I'm not just here to make money. My classmates are a bit like Brother Leilei, they don't eat the fireworks of the world. I take them out to taste the ups and downs, so that they can be more mature. Cherish campus life.”
Ye Fan mocked: "You're still weird."
Dabao: "I have always been very loyal. This is like you. Have you forgotten?"
Ye Fan didn't want to talk nonsense with him: "Have you picked it yet?"
Dabao settled the score: "It's still a little short of that."
"Aren't you going to have lunch? How to get there?"
Dabao suddenly understood and hurriedly came out with the snakeskin bag. If he continued to pick it up, he would have no money to eat or take the bus.
The next morning, Dabao was eating breakfast at Han Dawei's stall with his snakeskin bag in hand while waiting for his classmates to come over. Dabao Faxiao walked up and asked: "Your family doesn't do anything in the morning on weekends?"
Dabao: "White porridge, vegetarian steamed buns and boiled eggs."
Fa Xiao sympathized with him: "Wasn't Accountant Ye very good at cooking before? My mother said that she didn't mind the trouble and made seafood noodles and egg pancakes early in the morning. How come you are older and she doesn't do it?"< br>
Dabao said: "We are old, and whether we eat well or not will not affect our growth, so we won't do it." Pointing to the snakeskin bag, "I asked someone last night, and we went straight to Wangfujing."
The five of them arrived at the corner of the commercial street. Dabao took out the sign and placed it in front of Fa Xiao, who then went to the opposite side. Dabao's three classmates saw this and wanted to kick him.
Dabao pointed to his clothes and shoes and whispered: "No one believes me when I say work-study program."
Several classmates were envious when they saw Dabao's stylish clothes and nice shoes. One time, a classmate's clothes were dry, so Dabao lent his down jacket to his classmates. They felt ashamed of their small-mindedness.
Now that I'm used to it, several classmates waved their hands in disgust and told him to get away.
Fa Xiao picked up the sign but felt helpless and wanted to laugh: "This is the first time I realize that my body can be used in this way."
The four of them looked like they were students at first sight, something that even idle people in society couldn't pretend to be, so those who had the money to buy the tapes stopped, and when they saw that they were genuine, they quickly gave them their money.
Dabao stared at the suspicious person on the other side. Unexpectedly, he found one. Dabao went over and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, what are you looking at? Do you want the tape or the money from selling the tape?"
Young people from society glared at him: "Get away!"
Dabao: “Do you know who my dad is?”
"I'm not afraid of your father, the Heavenly King!"
Dabao nodded: "The county magistrate is better off taking charge now. Of course you are not afraid. My dad is the director of the police station, which is not far from here. Why don't you go and sit down?"
The young man in society didn't believe it, but he subconsciously looked at Dabao. The casual pants Dabao wore were from a famous brand. Even if they were imitations, they were only available in the south and were not cheap. Dabao's temperament is very much like that of a confident young man. Young people in society don't dare to gamble. They just say a harsh word and leave. It looks like they are too lazy to be as knowledgeable as Dabao, but in fact he is afraid.
A classmate noticed the movement on Dabao's side, faintly heard his words, and thought to himself that Geng Dabao went to Hangda to Qucai.
There were probably many people who heard Dabao's words, and no one made any trouble until the tapes were almost sold out in the afternoon. There were only a few left, and a few people asked Dabao what to do with it. Dabao asked the nearby self-employed businesses if they wanted tapes. He first said that it was popular in Hong Kong City, and then said that playing tapes could attract business.
The small business owners who own radios know what is popular recently, so they look at Dabao's tapes and pick out a few. When a few people were about to go back, the tapes were completely sold out.
Dabao relied on the strength of their numbers, and one or two or three or four young people did not dare to step forward to grab it, so he counted the money as he walked. The capital is divided, and then the money earned is divided equally.
Everyone can get half a month's living expenses. Dabao was very excited: "When are you going to go again?"
Dabao: "I won't sell tapes next time. It's almost the Gregorian New Year. I'll ask my mother if she has any foreign goods. We can make a fortune on the day of the Gregorian New Year. But this matter is kept secret."
Four people zipped their mouths.
Dabao didn't mention Ye Fan, and he didn't expect that in recent years, the trend of worshiping foreigners and foreigners has become more and more popular. Everyone is very concerned about foreign things. Ye Fan sent a telegram to the bosses he knew well, reminding them to pay attention to foreign affairs.
In mid-December of the Gregorian calendar, Ye Fan went south with Chang Guangrong, Zhang Xiaoming, Wei Jianshe and two salesmen - Geng Zhiye's former guard and Yu Wentao's nephew.
Go to Pengcheng first, and then divide the troops into two groups. Chang Guangrong takes two people to Yangcheng, and Ye Fan takes two people to Gangcheng. A few days later, the two groups of people met in Hangzhou with their goods.
When they arrived in Hangzhou, the two of them were left behind. Ye Fan and Wei Jianshe went to the Commodity City, while Chang Guangrong took Yu Wentao's nephew to Yongcheng.
More than ten days later, the six people returned to the capital.
On the second day after arriving in the capital, everyone who followed Ye Fangan went to get the goods from her.
Dabao was so angry when he got home on Saturday that everyone picked out the leftovers. Ye Fan said: "You can get a discount, or buy two and get one free."
"Give it all to me!" Dabao said quickly.
Ye Fan: "Do you have that much money? No credit."
"I am your son!"
Ye Fan: "My own son must also settle the accounts openly."
Dabao was convinced by his mother.
Not long after, his father drove back and Dabao brought tea and water and beat his back. Geng Zhiye grabbed his son's arm and said, "You have something to say."
"Dad, give me one hundred yuan." Dabao hugged his father's neck and acted coquettishly.
Geng Zhiye was very disgusted: "You still think you are a big treasure?"
"Dad, I will always be your big treasure no matter how old I am." The big baby said and took something out of his pocket.
Geng Zhiye: "This month's salary has already been given to your mother. Besides, where is your money?"
"It's in the piggy bank. It can only go in and out. I want to smash the piggy bank if I use it."
Geng Zhiye couldn't believe it: "...you said you really think you are Pixiu?"
Geng Sensen heard the last two sentences when he entered the door: "Why do you need money? I haven't used much of my pocket money this month and last month."
Dabao immediately let go of his father and hugged his brother: "You are my brother!" After saying that, he took out his pocket.
Geng Sensen was speechless: "Why did I bring so much money to school? It's in the drawer in your room."
Dabao ran back to the bedroom to get the money and look for his mother.
The next day, Dabao took his cousin to meet his classmates, and then explained to the classmates that the goods were expensive, and his cousin sponsored 80 yuan, and the money was divided equally.
Several classmates only had forty or fifty yuan each, so naturally they didn't mind sharing it equally with Geng Sensen. Then the six people divided into two groups, one going to Wangfujing and the other to Dashanlan.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, there was still 30% left. Dabao asked everyone to go back, because there was still some goods at home, and even if they were barely sold out today, they still had to come out.
On New Year's Day, Dabao and his classmates went out for half a day, and everyone went back to school at noon to share the money.
Dabao divided the money and announced: "This year's business is over."
Posted a small question: "How about business at the end of the year?"
Dabao: "My mother said, we are students. This little money now is small money. The basic salary of employees in my mother's company is two hundred, and there is a year-end bonus during the Chinese New Year. We put the cart before the horse and suffered a big loss."
His classmates and Fa Xiao exclaimed: "So many?"
Dabao nodded: "My mother said that state-owned units don't have so many, but the treatment is good. We get things during the holidays, and we get pensions after retirement. We have strong professional abilities, and we can be assigned houses after three to five years in the unit. These are invisible to outsiders. benefits.”
These words refreshed several people's understanding of the future, and they immediately stopped thinking about this small gain.
Dabao went home after getting his and his brother's share. Just in time to prepare the meal when we got home, Erbao went to the main room to bring the food. Geng Leilei, Geng Zhiqin and Sun Laifu were all there. If there was no room for one small table, two tables were put together.
Sun Laifu asked: "Will the third brother not come back?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "Since I married him, I haven't been back during the holidays. Fortunately, he is honest, otherwise we would have separated a long time ago."
Dabao: "Mom, don't talk about leaving and leaving all day long. My dad was still afraid that you would dump him when he was old, but he has heard this too much."
Ye Fan said: "I feel so sorry for your dad, why doesn't your dad give you money?"
"Isn't it because the salary is given to you?" Dabao suddenly remembered something, "Laifu, don't imitate my father. Just give my sister-in-law twenty yuan for household expenses every month. Otherwise, you will have to suffer from everything. I want to buy something for your parents during the Chinese New Year. Every new piece of clothing should be kept low and small.”
Ye Fan heard that Dabao took the opportunity to order Geng Zhiqin, and was worried that Geng Zhiqin would drop his chopsticks in anger and Yu Wentao would feel uncomfortable. She deliberately asked: "What did your dad want to buy that I didn't buy?"
Dabao: "My dad has to ask you for money no matter what he buys, right?"
Ye Fan said: "When did your dad come back and I didn't ask him if he had money?"
"If my dad has money, I don't need to ask you."
Ye Fan: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!"
Dabao snorted: "I have no words to say so. I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you!"
Erbao didn't know that her mother was singing a double act with her brother and gave her brother a chicken wing: "If you don't eat it, I will finish it." The implication is that if you continue to say something delicious, you will be beaten.
Dabao turned to his mother: "This matter is not over yet!"
"You still want to go to heaven?" Ye Fan glared at him, "Don't eat out!"
Dabao snorted: "I won't go out! This house doesn't belong to you alone. If you hadn't married my dad, would you have been able to afford such a big house?"
Ye Fan: "Geng Dabao, I won't ask your father to beat you when he comes back. My surname is not Ye!"
Dabao shut up and seemed scared. In fact, after Geng Zhiqin and Sun Laifu left, he clung to his mother: "I cooperated well, didn't I?"
"Your mother and I are smart."
Dabao hugged his mother: "Of course. I doubt my sister-in-law even heard that I ordered her."
Ye Fan: "You made it so clear. If she doesn't listen to a word, then you can't have her."
The weather was cold, Geng Huihui and others were staying in the main room if they didn't want to go out. After hearing this, several people suddenly realized. Geng Huihui couldn't help but ask: "Dabao, do you suspect that all of Uncle Laifu's wages are in the hands of my sister-in-law?"
Dabao: "It's not doubtful. I'm sure. But I didn't think about it before. When I saw Laifu when it came to my father's salary, I suddenly thought of it. Alas, I am also worried about this aunt."
