Chapter 64: I didn't admit defeat
The barren mound is lonely, hidden deep in the green cypress forest, and the wild grass on the grave has long been poured down over the tombstone after the summer urge. "Brother Ghost" knelt in front of the grave, looking at the names on the tombstone, he could no longer see the outline in his long memory, and even the call felt strange and could not come out of his throat. He silently burned the paper, and after kowtowing, he began to clear the weeds that grew on the grave, and the chaotic branches stretched into the soil, linked by roots and torn hands, and when he looked up at the villages on both sides of the Qishui River, there was an endless transparency and clarity, and there was a kind of endless transparency and clarity, and Ronda and suddenly—
Humming "Glorious Years", from time to time I picked a few yellowish sour dates on the side of the road, stuffed them into my mouth, sometimes flashed, sometimes jumped, and jumped home from the mountain road. When he entered the courtyard, Liu Jianshe had already returned, lying on the newly made recliner a few days ago. Zheng Lijuan looked at him in surprise - if the two of them were judged before and after, they were still sad when they left, this would be a hippie smile again, and she couldn't help asking: Are you being opened up to the second pulse of Ren Du?
"Brother Ghost" laughed out loud, raised his head and said: You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns. You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk. Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone......
"Hahaha", "Hehehe" - after listening, Liu Jianshe and Zheng Lijuan laughed one after another, and "Ghost Brother" also laughed with "Hehehe", wiped the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and walked to the basin on the steps to scrub.
"Brother Ghost" moved a chair and sat at the stone table, looked at Liu Jianshe and asked: Dad, how are you doing, how is Brother Qiang's business development? Liu Jianshe lay down and tilted his head to look at him, and said: The work of landscaping has been completed, and recently it is interspersed with the decoration of your bookstore and the decoration of the teacher's village, and the contract for the City God Temple has just been signed——
"Brother Ghost" hesitantly asked: "That-that-money, have you got it?" Liu Jianshe breathed a sigh of relief and said: 80% of the work of antiseptic wood has been paid, and the remaining 20% can only be obtained after the settlement is completed, and there is not much left; however, we still look away, young people nowadays, play is also play, but in the matter of business, people are not sloppy, Brother Qiang's friend himself is now 50%, and people give Guoqiang a one-time settlement of 80% , Originally, I was going to give it all, I stopped the country, a friend, and more or less let people see some money back, and the remaining part was a piece!
Zheng Lijuan said meaningfully: Your dad is a long-term flow of water, the idea of long-term cooperation! Liu Jianshe smiled "hahaha" and said curtly: Hey, there is no way, people rely on relationships, we rely on craftsmanship, things still have to be done in the long run, and we can't just look at the present!
"Ghost brother" stretched out his hand and gently snatched the big teapot in Liu Jianjian, buried his head in two sips, Liu Jianshe continued: The decoration of the teacher's village is a long-term work, and if you can't do a few households to visit first, the business volume will slowly increase, and we are not worried, and now there are twenty or thirty new households one after another! However, the settlement of the house decoration is much smoother, and there are few intermediate links.
"Ghost brother" held Liu Jianshe and said: That's because you have good craftsmanship and work more carefully! Liu Jianshe smiled "hahaha" and said modestly: I am just a carpenter, and I only do part of it, mainly under the sign of the provincial decoration company, and the foreign monks will chant the scriptures, plus the sincerity of Guoqiang!
Zheng Lijuan nodded her head frequently and agreed, and said: You are a group of peers, only you and Xiaojun are left, and we will be relaxed when you two can get married and start a business! Liu Jianshe defended: Guixian, it's not bad, the bookstore owner praised you in front of me, saying that you can endure hardships, have the ability, and have a strategy; he gave him a lot of ideas in the operation of the bookstore, and he also made a lot of money during the summer vacation, saying that he didn't partner with you to make the bookstore into a book city, or even a book wholesale city because he was not because you were going to college.
The corners of the "ghost brother" were raised, grinning, and pretending to be humble: No-no-how can the boss say it is so good, it's all just clever, not enough to worry about!
After listening to this, Zheng Lijuan said in a complaining tone: Don't be modest, we have to be confident, the results are there, and we are afraid of what others will say! Liu Jianshe laughed "hahaha" and echoed: Guixian, your aunt is encouraging you, make persistent efforts, identify goals, face difficulties, don't let a little heel block yourself!
That is, as long as you think it is right, you will succeed if you keep persisting!" Zheng Lijuan continued. "Ghost Brother" listened to the singing and harmony of the two, tacitly cooperated, mixed double "persuasion", couldn't help but bow his head and laugh secretly, listening to the two quiet, he said: Aunt, Dad, you say this, I also know your hard work, then I will talk about my decision - I want to repeat the study, I haven't admitted defeat in the college entrance examination, and I haven't lost either-
Zheng Lijuan said with a crying voice: That's it, we didn't lose! Liu Jianshe also echoed: Just think about it, one year won't work, two years, two years, two years-
"Brother Ghost" laughed "hehehe" and said: Dad, are you going to let me sit in the classroom in the city, and be an "old fritter" for the rest of my life - give an explanation to all those who have hope for me, just this year is the only year, go all out, and if I fall off the list, I will cut off this road myself!
Zheng Lijuan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said: I don't believe you can't be admitted to the university of your choice, it's just a year - it's a big deal to come back and take care of you - Liu Jianshe said with a smile: That's it, it's a big deal to hand over the workshop to you, you take care of it, and I'll work for you!
"Brother Ghost" smiled bitterly and said: Dad-Aunt-It's not that good, you two are singing and retiring very well--Liu Jianshe and Zheng Lijuan laughed out loud.
When the wind rose and the coolness was rising, Zheng Lijuan couldn't help but sneeze; Liu Jianshe stared at her for a while, and said: Guixian, his aunt, let's go back to the house—my heart is relieved, I have made room, let's eat! Between meals, Liu Jianshe asked: Guixian, how do you arrange it, and go back to school that day?"
Zheng Lijuan also raised her head, looked at "Brother Ghost", waiting for an answer; "Brother Ghost" thought for a while and said: In the past two days, I will first say to Teacher Zhang-Zheng Lijuan nodded and said: It's okay, I'll dry your futon for you tomorrow, clean up, and prepare to prepare-
"Brother Ghost" "Hmm-" and said: I have to clean up too-Liu Jianshe said as if he remembered something: Tuition-As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by "Brother Ghost" and said: Dad, tuition, you don't have to worry about it, I will use my own, and you can use the money you earn!
Zheng Lijuan smiled and joked: What do we use, let's keep it for you to marry Xuemei! "Brother Ghost" no longer quibbled, and also said: Okay, I think it's okay - Dad, you don't care about anything, do your big things with peace of mind, I think I can handle my affairs by myself!
Liu Jianshe glared and said: This is the wings are stiff, and they are about to stand on their own! After speaking, the three of them laughed.
