Chapter 786 The best old friend
Director Wang rushed back from the He family villa, and naturally missed the He family representative who was visiting the hospital again.
I learned from my wife and son that the representatives of the He family knew that the He family paid for the ambulance and helped the Wang family prepay 50,000 yuan for hospitalization.
At the same time, the He family also sent a pill. I heard that it was one of the return gifts given to the He family by the adopted grandson of the Chao family at Mr. Chao's birthday party last year. It was a detoxification pill.
After learning that the He family generously sent pills, Wang Ju was not only not surprised, but also extremely depressed.
It is reasonable for the He family to take the initiative to bear the hospitalization expenses. After all, their old man had an accident at the He family. As the owners, the He family has the responsibility to bear the risk of accidents for guests.
However, the meaning behind sending pills is definitely not out of friendship, but a potential sign that from now on, the He family and the Wang family will not interact with each other in private except for official business. Even if there is a private banquet, the He family will He will not invite their family again. After all, the He family does not make pills, and it is impossible to give pills to drunk guests every time.
It was also because their old man was drunk and discourteous at Mrs. He's birthday party. In the future, if he wanted to follow the He family's path and ask for a kind word in front of the Chao family's little righteous grandson, it would not work.
It was also difficult for the Chao family. After all, last night was not only a favor to the He family, but also a favor to the Chao family brother. It was impossible for Mr. Chao to help them put in a good word in front of his sister.
Last night, the old man got drunk and was discourteous. The potential loss was huge.
Now that things have come to this, Director Wang can't complain about his father. He immediately goes for discharge surgery and goes home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. After taking the pills sent by the He family, he will come back after the festival to experience it. Depending on the situation, he will see whether he needs to be hospitalized. treat.
The people of the Great Celestial Dynasty have always had the custom of giving gifts during festivals. Whether they are rich or noble, they visit relatives on important festivals to enhance their relationship. The Mid-Autumn Festival is no exception. In cities and countryside, people who are in love either send gifts to each other or gather together. , or move around.
The customs in Jiudao Township are basically similar to the trend. On some festivals, relatives are required to visit relatives to give gifts. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, a newly married girl usually has to send a Mid-Autumn gift to her parents’ family, or take her parents to her husband’s house to celebrate the festival. Yueqing also follows the custom and gives gifts first. My mother-in-law’s house sent me a moon cake.
The National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays are long, and Zhou Chunmei and Zhou Tianming also returned home on National Day.
Zhou Chunmei went to Lejia frequently on the first and second day after she returned home. She found that the food was similar to her own home, nothing special, and she didn’t like to go there. Instead, Zhou Tianming often went to her aunt’s house to visit. little cousin.
Because the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, Brother Zhou originally wanted to take my mother back from Lejia before the National Day, but his sister and brother-in-law refused. His mother was happy living in Lejia and didn't want to go back. He didn't force her and let her live in Yueqing's house. He and himself Zhang Poluo and others helped the Le family build a house.
Money can make a fool of himself. The Le family had enough money to build their house, and the bricks they needed were also delivered and placed in the empty space in front and back of the Liu family's house.
The steel bar store on the street has already cut the steel bars that Lejia needs and can bring them back at any time.
Cement, lime and river sand were also delivered to the house by the owners. All materials were ready before construction started.
After more than a month of hard work, the demolition and construction team has completed the demolition of the house walls built by the Liu family. The work of cleaning up the brick walls and waste bricks has also been basically completed. The wall foundation will soon be dug and the foundation can be laid. Construction of the wall started.
Autumn is dry and very hot at noon. The demolition and construction team composed of Brother Zhou and others do not work under the scorching sun and usually start work after 2 p.m.
After lunch, Brother Zhou, Zhang Poluo, and Liu Lu went to Lejia to enjoy the cool weather. Most of their work had to pass through the door of Lejia. They often sat at Lejia before going to work together, or sometimes they washed their faces in front of Lejia. Wash your hands and rest before going home.
When the three of them arrived at Leshan's house, little Leshan was sleeping, and they didn't bother to disturb the baby, because Leshan picked a lot of cucumbers, and the three brothers were restless, washing cucumbers and making vinegar to eat.
Just halfway through eating, I heard someone calling Yueqing outside. The voice sounded strange.
Brother Zhou and his buddies ran out of the Lejia main house to see a man about their age getting off a motorcycle parked on the alley next to the Lejia house, carrying a box of beautifully packaged mooncakes and walking towards the eaves of Yueqing.
The man was about 1.7 meters tall, with an ordinary face and a big beer belly.
Looking at that person, Brother Zhou felt that he looked familiar. He couldn't remember it for a moment, so he said smoothly: "Yueqing is at home, come in and sit."
The man who had just walked into the eaves of Lejia carrying mooncakes saw several people coming out of Lejia's house. His eyes fell on Zhou Xialong, and the expression on his face changed: "You are... Zhou Nilu, ah no, you are." Zhou Xialong?”
"I remembered, you are Wang You who went to the paddy fields."
Brother Zhou thought he looked familiar at first, but couldn't remember who it was. When he heard the other party calling his nickname "Zhou Nilu", he knew who it was.
Xiashuitian Village and Meizijing Village are separated by a road, but they are not facing each other. Taking the direction of the county town as the starting point, Meizijing Village is south of the middle of the township road, and Xiashuitian Village is at the end of the township road.
Because they all live near Xiang Street, many people from the same hometown who are one or two years apart are almost all elementary school classmates. Wang Yue and Yue Qing are also elementary school and junior high school classmates. When Wang You was a child, his father had lumbar stones and his family was very poor. He often asked Yueqing to borrow money while he was studying.
Because Wang Tuo and Yue Qing were acquainted, the Wang family borrowed thousands of dollars from the Le family one after another, but they never paid it back.
Wang Tao's father's stone disease was also cured by Yueqing's father Lehong. Lehong knew that Wang Tao's family was in trouble and confiscated the Wang family's money for medicine.
When Yueqing’s leg was broken and the Le family was in urgent need of money, do you know what the Wang family did?
Haha, that family obviously has money, so if they don't pay it back, they even lied and said that they didn't borrow the money from the Le family at all, and told the Le family that if the Wang family borrowed the money from the Le family, they would come up with an IOU.
In the past, people who lent money and things were acquaintances. Who would ask someone to write an IOU? It was based on credit. Lejia never asked anyone to write an IOU when lending money to others, so naturally it couldn't be issued.
Before Yueqing broke his leg, Wang You and Yueqing were still working in the same electronic product factory in the same place in Gdong Province. Yueqing also approached Wang You personally, but Wang You simply avoided seeing him.
The Wang Tao family was just cheating on the Le family's money, and what was even worse was to add insult to injury behind the scenes, telling others not to lend money to the Le family, saying that the Le family was a bottomless hole, and the money borrowed by the Le family must be borrowed and never repaid. .
More than ten years have passed, and Brother Zhou has forgotten about Wang Hao, so he naturally didn't recognize him at first sight.
Because his nickname "Zhou Nilu" was given to him by Wang Tuo's brother, the Wang brothers and the people in Xiashuitian Village called him the nickname the loudest, so they took their seats when they heard Wang Tuo accidentally call him the nickname.
Recognizing who the person was, Brother Zhou's face turned from sunny to gloomy, and he stared at the shy Wang with a beer belly in a bad tone: "Why are you coming to my brother-in-law's house?"
Zhou Xialong called out the name "Wang Yu" with the prefix "Xia Shuitian" in front of it. Zhang Poluo and Liu Lu also quickly remembered who Wang Yu was.
There are many people with the same first name and surname. There are two Wang Tuo in Jiudaoxiang Street. Because they live in different villages, it is easier to distinguish them.
Wang Yu and Yue Qing from Xiashui Tian Village often went to Yue Qing's house to play when they were classmates. In fact, it was more about playing than eating and drinking. Wang Yu's parents were also very attentive to the Le family. When something happened to Yue Qing, the Wang family's attitude changed immediately, and they fell out of favor faster than It's quick to turn the pages of the book.
Recognized by Zhou Xialong, Wang Hao forced out a smile and greeted warmly: "Xia Long, I haven't seen you for many years, but you haven't changed at all. Unlike me, who works hard every day and ages quickly. You all agree. I’m not here anymore.”
"Don't talk about it. I remember that some people said that they were afraid of getting their shoes dirty when they went to Le's house. They would never urinate in the direction of Le's house. What are you doing here now?
You can go back where you come, lest the mud in front of Lejia's door stain your expensive shoes.
Uncle Le has been dead for many years, and Yueqing did not study medicine. If your father has kidney stones again, there is no living Buddha you are looking for in the Le family. If you want to find someone to get medicine, you are in the wrong place. Go back to the hospital quickly. Don't then say that Lejia is delaying your opportunity to treat your illness. ”
Brother Zhou didn't care if he was from the same hometown or if his classmates were different students. He would directly try to embarrass others.
Zhang Poluo and Liu Lu grinned unkindly. Zhou Xialong usually doesn't talk much. He is honest and honest, but he is not easy to mess with. He is also a straight-headed young man who doesn't like to twist his words. , straight forward.
Many years have passed since the Le family incident. Zhou Xialong still remembered the little incident of Chen Sesame and rotten millet. When he exposed it, Wang Yu's face turned red and he smiled: "Xia Long, I was young and ignorant back then. At this age, I also understand the hard work of being a parent, and I know that I was really nothing back then, and I won’t pay back the money now.”
"Haha," Brother Zhou didn't hide his disgust: "You want to pay back the money? I remember that you, Wang You, told people in Shiliba Village that your family had never borrowed money from the Le family, and you even swore that the Wang family If you borrow the money from Lejia and don't acknowledge the debt, you will die.
Now you are talking about paying back the money, what kind of money do you need? When did you borrow it? Have you written an IOU to Roca? Did you have witnesses when you borrowed money? ”
Zhou Xialong would not let go of the old things, and even regurgitated some old sayings. No matter how thick-skinned Wang Hao was, he could not hold on. His face turned red, and he looked pleadingly at the other two people, hoping to help him out, but the two people standing outside the gate of Le's house had no way to help him out. Meaning, there is no way to advance or retreat at the moment.
I didn't know whether to advance or retreat when I heard a woman's voice coming from the house: "Brother, who is here?"
Hearing his sister's words, Zhou Xialong immediately looked at the window of the room facing the road, with a smile on his face: "Xiaofeng, did you wake up the baby? You continue to sleep with the baby, there are people outside. You don’t have to worry about the people involved.”
"Leshan hasn't woken up yet. If you are a guest, please call Yueqing to greet you."
Zhou Qiufeng was taking a nap with her baby when she was woken up by the sound. She originally wanted to go see who it was, but after hearing from her brother that it was an insignificant person, she really didn't care.
"I know." Brother Zhou agreed with a smile, but he had one thought in his heart: This is not a guest, he is just a shameless second-rate guy, and he would use a broom to greet him.
