"I'm sorry, Zheng, I'm Bruno, I'm California on the West Coast, Bob forgot to send you an invitation, we're so busy-"

A slightly familiar voice came, and Zheng Jianguo sighed speechlessly: "Okay, you are program apes, I will forgive you, how did you move over there?"

Bruno said without hesitation: "This proximity to other companies can reduce the company's operating costs, and we are ready to do a big job." ”

"Tell me what you do?"

Zheng Jianguo dragged the phone and sat on the sofa, the faces of Blanco, Bruce, and Bruno flashed in his mind, thinking that he didn't know and thought that this was the three brothers of the Bu family, Bruno's voice came from the microphone: "We are going to recruit five more people-"

"Hmm. ”

Zheng Jianguo nodded and pricked up his ears, in his senses, this trick was definitely not like the program ape, so he was ready to listen to him continue, but a second passed, two seconds passed, five seconds passed, and when he looked at the silent microphone and wondered if it was broken, he tentatively said, "Bruno?"

"Yes, Zheng, how are you feeling?"

Bruno's voice came, and Zheng Jianguo suddenly felt that his teeth seemed to hurt a little: "I feel that you did a good job - you did a good job." ”

"Thank you for your support and goodbye!"

Hung up the phone after thanking him neatly, Zheng Jianguo felt that these people were also real people, and subconsciously put the phone away, but he didn't expect the bell to ring again, so he had to grab the phone again, and the familiar Shanxian Mandarin came from it: "Jianguo?"

"Hello, Brother Gang, it's me. ”

Luo Gang's smiling face flashed in his mind, Zheng Jianguo quickly sat up and responded, and Luo Gang's voice came again: "Uncle has something to find you, I asked him to tell you-"

"Uncle?"

A big question mark appeared in his mind, and Zheng Jianguo remembered that Luo Gang and his uncle seemed to be Luo Shuqiang, but he didn't expect the voice of his father Zheng Fugui to come from the microphone: "Grasshopper?"

"Dad, it's me, are you okay?"

Zheng Jianguo asked with a stunned face, since he left the contact information here at home, this is the first time he has called from home, and he feels his heart hanging: "Is there something wrong at home?"

"No, it's not at home—"

Zheng Fugui's voice was a little hesitant, but it was the first time Zheng Jianguo, who had heard his father's tone, guessed that it was because of Luo Gang next to him, and said with a smile after putting down his hanging heart: "The work of the county hospital is busier than the health room, right?"

"I'm not busy, I can still see people in the clinic and prescribe needles and medicines, and now it's much easier to get to the county hospital-"

Zheng Fugui's voice was faintly noisy, Zheng Jianguo thought about it and knew that this might be when his father ran to the post and telecommunications bureau to make a call, his father's voice couldn't help but raise a little: "Now I went to that who kicked the room-"

"Uncle, it's the CT room—"

With the arrival of Zheng Fugui's voice, Luo Gang's voice sounded, and only then did Zheng Jianguo understand what his father was talking about, so he said: "Dad, your CT room is the second in our country, and there are only two in the entire republic——"

"I know that now there are people from other provinces who come to the county to use CT to see a doctor——"

Zheng Fugui quickly interrupted Zheng Jianguo's words, he specially ran the post and telecommunications bureau to make international calls, but he was not idle: "But I heard them say that you bought this CT?"

"Dad, did you see Serena?"

Zheng Jianguo didn't expect his father to ask this question, and quickly thought about the purpose of the old man's call, which was when he knew that he was distressed about buying CT or had other ideas, but his mouth was not idle: "It's Yang Na, she's my girlfriend-"

"Oh?

Zheng Fugui's attention was suddenly distorted by this topic, and his tone raised and ignored the previous CT: "But I don't see that she is like a purebred Chinese——"

"Dad, what do you say? What do you mean by purebred?"

Zheng Jianguo said it a little quickly, and Zheng Fugui seemed to hear dissatisfaction from his voice, and quickly changed his words: "That's it, I don't see that her eyes are black-"

"Yang Na's mother is French, and her eyes are blue, but Serena's is not obvious if you don't look closely, so don't talk nonsense about it in the future. ”

Zheng Jianguo continued to correct his father's thoughts, Zheng Fugui remembered that his daughter-in-law had forgotten his mother, and then remembered that this guy was now 18 years old, and he had even found a girlfriend, and then remembered Yang Na's appearance, but he had to admire that this kid would pick a girlfriend, but when he saw Luo Gang next to him when his eyes turned, he heard a voice from the microphone:" What she bought is what I bought, in fact, I made some money after I came out, this CT is not expensive, and I also asked her to buy an MRI for Qi Provincial Medical College, you just pay attention to the protection in the CT room——"

"How much money do you make?"

Zheng Fugui's gaze swept over Luo Gang, and his attention was distorted by the voice that came again, this is the first time the two of them have talked about money, Zheng Jianguo heard this and said: "If you want to use money, ask the fourth sister for it, I have already greeted her, and I bought a few houses in the capital, and I will ask her to take you and your mother over there in the summer——"

"That has to be tens of thousands, right?"

Zheng Fugui quickly asked, Zheng Jianguo heard that his father didn't ask about the house, and he understood that this might be the fourth sister had already told his father, so he said: "Dad, we have a saying that wealth is not exposed, tens of thousands of yuan are not even a fraction of the CT machine, I won't say the specific number, if you feel idle, you can also learn English by yourself, and when I finish the past few years, I will take you and your mother out to enjoy the blessings." ”

"Oh, okay, you're busy, these years?"

Zheng Fugui subconsciously spoke, and then remembered that what he said was not a few days, not a few months, but a few years, when he heard Luo Gang's voice next to him: "Uncle, Jianguo is busy with his studies now, he is not only studying medicine, but also studying physics, and others will not be able to reach his current depth in several lifetimes——"

"Oh, Grasshopper, Luo Gang and your third sister are married, you weren't at home when your second sister got married, and you weren't at home when your third sister got married, you-"

Hearing Luo Gang's voice, Zheng Fugui also remembered that in the past year, half of the family affairs were greeted by him, and he felt that this kid was learning farther and farther, and he used to go to school in the provincial capital to think that it was far enough, but he didn't expect that now he flew to the other side of the earth with a wing, and he had the realization that this kid raised in vain, but he knew that he couldn't say this: "I'm okay with you, you and Luo Gang have a few words." ”

"Well, uncle, just say it-"

When Luo Gang looked at the microphone and swallowed his saliva, he saw Zheng Fugui directly stuff the microphone into his hand, and walked away with his hands behind his back: "If you want to say it, you can say it." ”

"Oh~"

Holding the phone before putting it to his ear, Luo Gang said: "Jianguo-"

"Brother Gang, it is conservatively estimated that I will have to stay abroad for five years, two years of medical school and three years of junior college, and in these five years, my family will have to rely on you. ”

Seeing that this brother turned positive as expected, Zheng Jianguo also said his academic plan, and he could also feel the dissatisfaction in Zheng Fugui's tone before, after all, he also had the experience of having both children and grandchildren around his knees, and he knew that goods were better than throwing people to death.

Because comparison is the easiest behavior to tear apart family affection and feelings, there is no comparison in the case of a child, and it is impossible to draw good or bad conclusions, but among Zheng Fugui's five children, the most expected is that he is now a world away from home.

Then the four sisters in the family have to shoulder the responsibility of being a child for him, fortunately, Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei are now in the New Year's Day, not to mention, or when people are in good spirits on happy occasions, which suppressed the feelings of longing for the two old people during the New Year's holidays and midnight dreams.

Of course, Zheng Jianguo's words can be said to Luo Gang, but he can't let the two old men know: "You can just know about this matter, and tell my father and mother to know, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble." ”

"Okay, you should also take care of yourself when you study hard outside, don't let your uncle and aunt worry too much, you can leave the family to me. ”

Quickly responded to this request, Luo Gang also remembered that the two met at this time last year, but in just these three hundred days, this person has completed the transformation from famous all over the country to famous all over the world, and then he said that he would study outside for five years, so he said: "Brother wishes your wishes come true!"

"Is it still my brother? it's time to be a brother-in-law—"

Zheng Jianguo continued, and continued without waiting for the other party to speak: "But according to the customs of our Shanxian County, you are still brother, Brother Gang, you are still in Shanxian No. 1 Middle School?"

The custom of Shanxian County is to change his mouth when he has a child, and the biggest intention is to avoid calling young people old, which belongs to the category of expressing goodwill, but Luo Gang is not from Shanxian County, he came to live with his uncle Luo Shuqiang, and when he heard Zheng Jianguo's statement, he also laughed: "My brother and brother-in-law are the same, I am still in the logistics department of No. 1 Middle School——"

"Then you take the time to help me go to Chengguan Middle School to check my personal address, it is my classmate Hao Yun. ”

Zheng Jianguo had a big bald head in his mind, this was Hao Yun's last impression in his memory: "He will be assigned to the southern Xinjiang farm as a educated youth when I graduate, the last time I wrote that I could go home, I haven't received any information from him since then, you help me go to the school to check the address of his house, see if he has gone back, I bought a few houses in the capital and no one has seen them, if you find him, just let him go to the fourth sister, and say that I have arranged it." ”

Zheng Jianguo doesn't have many friends, this is what Luo Gang, who has only known him for a year, knows it, to be exact, not only Luo Gang, but the entire Sanlipu brigade knows that the only playmate of this goods is Li Tie, and the latter is now the big boss of Hong Kong Island, so he signed a cooperation agreement with National Television to invest in filming TV series.

Until this moment, Luo just heard another friend of his from Zheng Jianguo's mouth, and immediately agreed: "Okay, if I find him, I will ask him to contact Donghua." ”

"If I can't find him, I'll go and see it again during the New Year. ”

Hao Yun in Zheng Jianguo's memory has never been out of the mountain province in his life, let alone experienced the death of his classmates and comrades-in-arms, so at this point, he has no way to look at the current Hao Yun with the understanding in his memory: "If he doesn't want to go, forget it." ”

Zhao Nan's death hit Hao Yun very hard, which Zheng Jianguo didn't expect anyway, of course, what he didn't expect was that Zhao Nan would end like this, but thinking about the impermanence of this world, he said again: "When will you and the third sister get married?"

"My parents died early, and now I only have one relative, my uncle, and now I am busy near the end of the year, and I plan to celebrate the eighteenth day of the first month of the new year. ”

Luo Gang's voice was filled with a faint sense of relaxation, Zheng Jianguo blinked, but he could measure the situation of this brother not being up or down, and the two of them would like to have no father and no mother when they get married decades later, but when they really don't have a father or a mother, they can also realize how hard the stumbling days of the two will be: "Now there is no extra house in the unit, Qiuhua and I plan to rent a house first-"

"Then rent mine. ”

Zheng Jianguo quickly interrupted, seeing that the time had entered 1980, and the reform had already entered the second year, and the documents had already been issued in the middle of 1979, but the freezing three feet was not a day's cold, and people who had experienced more than ten years of turmoil would rather respond to all changes with the same than respond to the call from above, especially for the good urban residents who would still live unchanged, especially for the good urban residents who would still live unchanged.

And this is also the reason why Zheng Jianguo still let the eldest sister's family and the second sister's family, and now there is the reason why the third sister's family continues to suffer, giving money is a matter of hurting feelings, this is the old saying to death, Shengmi Endou Mi hatred has become a golden rule hundreds of years ago, what is said is that not only asking for accounts can turn relatives into enemies, but also giving money can turn relatives into enemies.

can't give money, and then can't give a house, this is Zheng Jianguo's plan a long time ago, the eldest sister and the second sister were still young when they went out, and now Baba's sending money in the past can only scare people, just like Zheng Fugui's previous guess, in the old man's imagination to earn tens of thousands of yuan will also reach the top, if he directly gives a hundred and twenty thousand yuan, it is not a favor, it is to force people to a desperate road.

How is the first 10,000 yuan household in the republic cool? It is because they all know that they have money, borrow some today and borrow some tomorrow, and I can borrow if others borrow, and if I don't borrow it, it doesn't mean that I will suffer a loss, and I don't take the ready-made money, which is also the reason why Zheng Jianguo put the money in Zheng Donghua's hand.

People say that they know their son Mo Ruo's father, but in Zheng Jianguo's view, Zheng Fugui can't have money in his hands, in a sense, he thinks that money is spent, and friends and colleagues will hurt their feelings when they talk about money, so they haven't had to return much old accounts until now, as for Du Xiaomei's hands, he is afraid of scaring this old lady,

Of course, such a large amount of money can't be spent in Shanxian County, and the most expensive house is only five or six thousand yuan a set, which is a drizzle for Zheng Jianguo: "When the time comes, I'll let someone give you the key, don't tell others." ”
