Chapter 246 Small life, shadow, handover
"How much is stuffed in here?"
Lin Jihua sighed, but couldn't find a suitable word. Xu Qingshan on the side handed over the words.
"Foam."
"Hiss, yes! Bubble!"
"Uncle, you have also been to Japan. You are well aware of Japan's performance after the 1990s."
"It does have an internal odor."
Lin Jihua licked his lips, thinking of Japan at that time, and then looking at the vibrant and barbaric country today.
"Gradually crazy, until lifeless."
"Hey, that's not right, uncle."
Xu Qingshan suddenly thought of a question.
"Didn't you go to Japan in 1990? Why do I remember that our national football team seemed to be doing well at that time?"
Xu Qingshan glanced at his second uncle who was driving with one hand and with his collar open. He looked more handsome than his handsome 18-year-old son, with a suspicious look on his face.
"Huh? Hahaha, oh, ah~"
Lin Jihua's mouth came out with all kinds of atavistic onomatopoeia.
"Isn't it true that before coming back, you went to Japan last year?"
"What are you going to do? You're not going to sell movie videos again."
Xu Qingshan was ashamed.
"Uh, hehe, hehe, no, I just poured out a little of the photo album this time, just wiped the edges a little, just wiped a little of the edges."
Lin Jihua wiped his sweat frantically.
Xu Qingshan leaned on the back of his chair helplessly.
It’s no wonder that he went astray in his previous life. Didn’t this just give him an excuse?
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!
“Think about it, a volume of 24k full-color photos costs 1,499 to 2,999 yen, which works out to one or two hundred yuan, and a 12k half-page hardcover costs 600 to 1,200, which is dozens of yuan more. I’ll go I bought expired photos from a warehouse and the price was less than RMB 30 per book. Even if I added the customs costs when I returned home, the cost was only RMB 35 per book. I could resell them for RMB 80. Isn’t that just a profit?”
Lin Jihua explained crazily.
"Are you still going through customs?"
"Of course. Am I, your second uncle, the kind of person who breaks laws and disciplines?"
“Can it be a serious photoshoot if it can go through customs?”
"Of course it's a serious photoshoot! Actress Actress, in Japan, as long as an actress is an actress, they call her an Actress, okay? I didn't say she was an AV Actress."
"I really admire you, Niu."
Xu Qingshan gave his second uncle a thumbs up.
"Okay, okay, we're here. Don't tell your cousin and aunt about those things. This is a secret between the two of us."
"Okay, okay."
Xu Qingshan got out of the car.
Lin Jihua rented a house here. It was not big, but it was quite close to the company.
Now the real estate company has temporarily rented a floor in an office building as its headquarters. It doesn't have the money to build a headquarters, so it can only tinker with it at will.
"Don't you plan to ask your aunt to come to Ludao to find something to do with you?"
Xu Qingshan asked.
"I'm telling her, but your cousin's grandpa is not in good health recently, and she's still taking care of her."
"Then you will live here by yourself?"
Xu Qingshan opened the door.
But I found that this small rental house was surprisingly tidy, and it looked like it was cleaned every day.
Although this small house is not spacious, it is well-kept and spotless.
There is a bright red non-slip mat as you enter the door, and a thin-looking wooden shoe rack is placed in the entrance hall next to the wall. There are not many shoes, but they are neatly placed according to color, style and category.
The pair of leather shoes closest to the door seemed to be worn the most. The uppers were polished and polished, and there were shoe polish and a small brush hanging next to the shoe rack.
In the small square living room, there is a small wall-mounted TV facing a simple-style sofa with a sofa cover. There are no wrinkles or stains. There is a vase with daisies on the coffee table. The vase is for drinking Coke. Glass bottle, the water in the bottle is clear and translucent, and there are some colorful pebbles.
There was a ceramic cup for drinking water on the table, but nothing else.
"Don't you, my old uncle, often live alone outside? How about it? Are you doing well in your little life?"
Lin Jihua entered the kitchen proudly.
"You sit on the sofa for a while first. There are two bedrooms in this house specially reserved for you."
Lin Jihua had already taken an apron from the kitchen and wrapped it around him.
It's just that this old handsome guy is wearing a dandy's clothes and a pink apron, which looks very interesting.
"Save it for me?"
Xu Qingshan accidentally put down his luggage and didn't go to sit on the sofa. He leaned against the central wall pillar of the house. The wall pillar was square, with one corner attached to the living room, one corner attached to the kitchen, and another corner attached to the bedroom and toilet. Very compact.
"That's right, your sister wouldn't want to come to Ludao if she was on vacation. She's grown up and has her own ideas."
Lin Jihua was a little emotional.
I have already begun to put away the vegetables and meat on the chopping board. Although the kitchen is small, the large and small kitchen utensils on the stove are arranged in an orderly manner. There are clips on the seasoning bags. The range hood is a little yellowed, but it is clean. The refrigerator on the refrigerator door The stickers record the dates of various ingredients.
"Uncle, your little life is really not something that ordinary people can live through."
Xu Qingshan felt that this feeling was very familiar and reminded him of the days when he lived in Longjiang.
It seems to be the same, the house is not big, but there are flowers everywhere.
"What can't be done by ordinary people? I learned this from your grandma."
Lin Jihua's knife skills are good and the chopping board makes a lot of noise.
Dice the tofu, shred the radish, soak the oysters, and make a seafood tofu stew.
Among the five brothers and sisters, Lin Jihua is the best at cooking. He used to run a roadside stall, and his fried rice skills are even better.
only.
When Lin Jihua mentioned this, Xu Qingshan looked back at the surroundings of the small house again. At first glance, they seemed familiar, but when he looked again, they were full of shadows.
"How is she doing now?"
Lin Jihua moved his hands and asked when Xu Qingshan didn't speak.
"It's very good. The school helped me arrange for her to be sent to the First Hospital of Beijing University, and also invited overseas experts to come here for targeted treatment."
Lin Jihua paused with the knife in his hand, stood for a moment, turned his head slightly, looked out the window, and asked again.
"Where's the third child?"
"My brother-in-law is very nice too. He's staying with my grandma. When my grandma gets better, I want my uncle to help me take care of some things in the capital."
"That's good."
Lin Jihua turned his head with a smile on his face.
But Xu Qingshan had just seen his second uncle's expression through the brightly polished window, and he didn't know whether he should say he was relieved or sad.
"That's good."
He said what he had obviously said twice.
"Fortunately, our Lao Lin family has a capable person like you. Don't worry, if anything happens, your uncles will take care of it for you. You are doing it for us."
"That's what I should do too."
Xu Qingshan knows the awkwardness between responsibility and care that the previous generation had.
This feeling is like that of a mother. They are brothers and sisters, but they have the same blood.
After saying that, both nephew and uncle were speechless, so Xu Qingshan went to sit on the sofa outside, looked at his mobile phone for a while, chatted with Jiang Huanxi, and also participated in some topics in the Longjiang Club group.
Lin Jihua moved quickly and finished dinner in three strokes, five divisions and two divisions.
The nephew and uncle sat on two cushions on the floor and ate on the coffee table.
It is hard to imagine that one of these two people is an emerging scholar and the other is the CEO of a real estate company worth tens of millions of dollars. "Are you going to visit the company tomorrow? But there's nothing there right now, and the manpower is pretty good. I've attracted some of the more capable people in the shoe industry."
Lin Jihua poured himself a glass of beer and raised it towards Xu Qingshan.
"I'll have some too."
Xu Qingshan held the cup with both hands.
"When you grow up, you can drink. But your brain is strong. Don't drink too much when you go out. Alcohol numbs your brain."
Lin Jihua smiled and poured wine for Xu Qingshan.
"Would you like to smoke some later? The Cuban cigars my friend gave me are genuine and have the same flavor as the ones I smoked in Cuba."
"You know Rabindranath Tagore, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature, and British Prime Minister Churchill, right? They both loved smoking this."
Lin Jihua showed off the small cigarette case he had collected.
"Jie Xing, try it later."
Xu Qingshan wanted to say that he would stop smoking, but when he saw the look on his second uncle's face, he seemed to have some realization and replied.
"Come on, cheers!"
"I wish our best young scientists in China will win the Nokia Prize in the future!"
"Uncle, it's the Nobel Prize!"
"Hey, okay, let's be Tagore!"
Xu Qingshan looked at the happy second uncle in front of him and knew that he was deliberately teasing him, so he raised his glass and drank together.
After drinking, he watched his second uncle carefully take out a new one from the small box, cut it and handed it to Xu Qingshan, while he took out the half of one from the small box he carried with him and put it in his mouth.
Xu Qingshan was about to find a lighter.
"Crack."
A wisp of flames shot up in front of me, a familiar scene.
Xu Qingshan looked through the flames and saw the tobacco on the tip of the new cigar glowing red. Through the flames, he saw the face that seemed to have some traces of time.
He used to stuff hamburgers to himself like this, right?
I was young then.
I don't know how much it costs or how much it costs.
White people only know that it is luxury to be able to eat a meal of burgers and fries in fast food, let alone KFC and McDonald's.
We all know the wages and prices in small counties.
A child's hamburger, fries, and Coke can be exchanged for a good slice of roast duck with sauce.
Even Xu Xuejun, who has a stable job, and Lin Yuehua, who values Xu Qingshan, rarely allow Xu Qingshan to have a meal of hamburgers and fries.
But when the man in front of him takes his cousin and him with him, his share is never less.
Although Xu Qingshan's real man part was not learned from his father.
But he still learned some concepts about his family very well.
"Mountain."
Lin Jihua took back the lighter and lit it for himself.
He took a breath, exhaled slowly, and seemed to let out the last bit of obsession in his chest with a long sigh, and spoke.
"I'll rely on you from now on. Don't be too tired. If you have anything to do, you have to talk to uncle."
Just now I poured the wine and lit the cigarette.
It seems to imply the handover of some responsibilities.
Although the party who took the initiative to hand it over was very helpless and sad.
"Uncle can't do anything now. Even for this matter, I have to rely on you. But if something messy happens, don't be afraid. Just move forward. Uncle will be able to stop it for you."
Xu Qingshan knew what Lin Jihua meant.
He makes the money, but his uncle takes the blame.
He just needs to move forward, no matter how far he goes, as long as he can resist, he is willing to put the risk on himself and become the target.
"Uncle, we have a legal society now. You don't have to think so much. Don't worry, I can do it."
Xu Qingshan poured it for himself and wanted to clink glasses with Lin Jihua.
Lin Jihua touched it, but still shook his head.
"The capital is different from Ludao."
Lin Jihua frowned and spoke.
"Be it Beijing or Shanghai, that is not our destination. Some things cannot be decided by simple laws."
"Whether it's capital, power or wealth, I've traveled to so many countries and experienced so many rises and falls. Even if I'm just an ant-like bystander, I can still see some things clearly."
"The law is only used to maintain order, not to promote justice."
"For the sake of order, whether it is the law or office, some things that are not that important can be discarded at will."
"Money, status, fame, everything is empty."
Lin Jihua's expression was very cautious and serious. Xu Qingshan seemed to have never seen his second uncle like this since he could remember.
There is a general desire to pass on the skills that one has seen and heard throughout his life to the next generation.
It seems that it was that glass of wine and that cigarette that unlocked such a second uncle.
"We only talk about one thing here."
"this."
Lin Jihua raised his left hand, clenched it into a fist, and pointed at his fist.
"But I'm not talking about fist punches."
“No matter what height you reach, no matter what step you go, don’t forget that you must have something that can make others fearful and cautious.”
"Otherwise, no matter how much money you make, it will only be a money bag."
"That's not scary."
"But I know your character well. If there comes a day when you are used as a money bag, then the final situation will only have one ending."
Lin Jihua said nothing more, just stared at Xu Qingshan.
Xu Qingshan nodded.
He didn't quite have the means to explain to his second uncle what direction scientific research would lead to, but what he just said was the same whether he was here or looking around the world.
Xu Qingshan remembered that he saw it when he read the newspaper in his previous life.
British technology entrepreneur Mike Lynch and Morgan Stanley International Chairman Jonathan Blum, along with their top lawyers, took to the Mediterranean to celebrate after winning a multibillion-dollar lawsuit against Hewlett-Packard.
This celebration brought the whole family to heaven.
Everyone involved in the incident died on the entire vessel, and the other 15 waiters were rescued safely. The luxury yacht sank, and the final autopsy result was that he died of suffocation, not drowning.
Legally, they won.
But so what.
The other party has many ways to let everyone in the world know that I killed you.
But so what?
Xu Qingshan was thinking about it at that time.
How do you feel? It's a bit similar to yourself.
"Let's not talk about these heavy things. Come, have a drink. After drinking, my second uncle will take you to the beach tomorrow. There is no sea in the capital, and it is not convenient to eat fresh seafood. Eat more this time when you come back."
Lin Jihua raised his glass and broke the somewhat heavy atmosphere with a smile.
He was just expressing his stance, not trying to be perverted.
Xu Qingshan has not returned to Longjiang in the past few days. His parents have been busy handing over work and adapting to the new environment. It must be quite lively at home during the National Day. Xu Qingshan doesn't like that kind of liveliness.
Accompanied by Lin Jihua, he inspected his two companies in Ludao and put forward some opinions.
