Chapter 222 221. Asking to borrow money
Listening to the old man’s insincere words, Du Chuan couldn’t help but laugh. These words were a bit too false.
My home is not close to my grandfather’s house. It takes less than two hours to walk there.
What's more, Du Chuan also invited his grandparents to stay for a few days before, and even the memorial minister was invited, but none of them wanted to move.
So grandpa must have something to do when he came here, but Du Chuan was not in a hurry to ask, but said: "Then you haven't eaten yet, let's go. It just so happens that there is no one at home today, I will treat you to a restaurant. Okay."
As he said this, he was about to help grandpa go outside, but he was thrown away.
"No, just make some at home. I'm not hungry either." The old man said.
Seeing this, Du Chuan thought for a while and said, "Then we will eat at home."
As he said that, Du Chuan brought the old man into the yard and first poured him tea. Let him sit for a while, then go inside and make a phone call to ask the restaurant to send some food over.
Du Chuan was an old customer, and Du Chuan was generous, so the food was delivered quickly.
After Du Chuan thanked him, he put all the food on the table and opened a bottle of wine.
"Thirty years old wine, grandpa, it would be you who came here today, otherwise I would not be willing to open it even if my father came over." Du Chuan said.
The old man smiled when he heard this, but he said: "Just get some wine. It would be a waste to give such a good wine to my old man."
Although he knew that these were his grandson's words to make him happy, the old man also found it quite helpful.
"As you said, there is nothing to waste. This is your grandson's filial piety." Du Chuan said while pouring the wine.
The old man looked on happily. His greatest achievement in his life was that the children in his family loved each other and were very filial.
Not only Du’s father’s generation, but also Du Chuan’s generation are the same.
Over the years, I have seen too many brothers turn against each other, and father and son become enemies, which made the old man feel even more proud.
Just ask around the house, who has such a harmonious family atmosphere as the Du family?
But then he seemed to think of something, his eyes dimmed again, and he smoked the dry cigarette more and more fiercely.
Du Chuan saw this and said: "Grandpa, didn't I give you a lot of cigarettes? Why are you still smoking these dry cigarettes?"
Du Chuan has never treated the old man badly in his family, even good things. Boxes were moved to the old man's house.
Let's put it this way, many of Du Chuan's things can even be used as special supplies now.
This is also preferential treatment for Du Chuan.
However, these are all rationed, and the ration given to Du Chuan is not much, but Du Chuan has money, and it is foreign exchange.
When Du Chuan used foreign exchange to buy these, it really opened up the supply.
Du Chuan also bought a lot, and now some rooms in his home are filled with them.
Du Chuan knew that these were good things, so he naturally didn’t worry about money and could buy as much as he could.
So there is no shortage of tobacco and alcohol at the old man’s place, and they are all good stuff.
"It's bad, those cigarettes are expensive, but they don't have any power at all. I'm not used to them." The old man also put a smile on his face again.
Firstly, he couldn't get used to smoking, and secondly, he felt it was too expensive and couldn't bear to part with it. Usually when he went out, he would carry a pack of cigarettes to support the scene.
Of course, it’s just to support the scene. It’s basically impossible to get him to stop smoking, so I can’t bear to do it.
Du Chuan said with a smile: "Then I will find you some foreign cigars, try it and see if you get used to it."
"No need to worry, I smoke this just fine, I know you are filial, but you can't waste money like this." The old man said.
Du Chuan said: "This is not a waste of money. I should be filial to you." The old man became more and more happy and drank a few more drinks with Du Chuan.
When the wine was almost finished, the old man finally talked about the business of his coming.
However, when speaking, he was a little hesitant, as if he couldn't save face.
Seeing this, Du Chuan said: "Grandpa, what else do you and I have to say?"
The old man sighed, "It's really... ugh."
After hesitating again, the old man finally said: "What, Xiaochuan, if you have any money, lend me some."
Du Chuan was slightly startled, but he didn't expect that grandpa came here to borrow money. Although he didn't How to give the old man and the others money, but Father Du didn't give them less.
And they all have pensions, plus uncle Du Qixi’s salary.
Although Du Qixi is already married, according to Du Qixi's character, he will never be short of expenses for the married couple.
But Du Chuan just thought about it for a moment and realized that the money was definitely not a small amount.
Otherwise, the old man would not ask his grandson for it. If it is not possible, it would be much better to ask Du's father to borrow it than Du Chuan.
Du Chuan immediately said: "Of course, the most important thing I need is money, how much is it?"
He was not in a hurry to ask the reason, but first gave the old man a reassurance to calm him down. .
After hearing this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Fifteen thousand yuan."
After saying that, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will pay back this money no matter what. For you.”
Although he knew that his grandson was not short of money, he did not want to take advantage of Du Chuan.
When Du Chuan heard this, he immediately said aggrievedly: "Grandpa, do you treat me as an outsider? Are you still paying me back? If you want people outside to know, you don't know how much I have." Unfilial."
The old man said in a panic: "No, who doesn't know that you are the most filial, but this is not a small amount."
It is indeed not a small amount, you know, now. We haven’t reached the era of ten thousand yuan households yet.
Nowadays, anyone who can have a few thousand yuan in savings is considered a rich person.
Fifteen thousand yuan, for ordinary people, can be said to be an astronomical figure.
"That's a small amount for others, but for me." After saying that, Du Chuan stood up directly, came to the bedroom, and took out a stack of money.
The Du Chuan family always keeps some money on hand to avoid trouble when using money.
It’s not much, just tens of thousands of dollars.
"This is 20,000 yuan. If you don't have enough, tell me again." Du Chuan put the money on the table.
The old man was a little stunned when he saw so much money. Even though he knew that Du Chuan was rich, it was still very impactful to have so much money in front of him.
And he actually didn’t expect that Du Chuan would just take out 20,000 yuan without any hesitation after he just said something.
When he thought about it, although his grandson was rich, twenty thousand yuan was a large amount. He was a little surprised that he didn't even hesitate.
"You...do you want to discuss this with Qingqing?" the old man said hesitantly.
Now that Du Chuan is engaged, he is no longer alone.
Du Chuan smiled and said: "It's okay, you don't know Qingqing, she must support me, and this is just a small amount of money."
