A few days later, Wei Xiao figured out the situation and called Geng Zhiyuan: "Zhiyuan, the matter is solved." ”

"So fast!?" Geng Zhiyuan said in surprise: "Xiaoxiao, you are so powerful." ”

Wei Xiao sneered: "I found Mingzhu, according to her, this Jianxuan clothing store is an old illegal household that occupies the road, and this time the chengguan really didn't have a recruit, so they confiscated their clothes." ”

"Oh...... Didn't you say fines?"

"Let them write a letter of guarantee, and this time they will not be punished, but if they commit another crime, they will definitely be punished. ”

"Oh, that's good, I'll tell Director Chen the good news tomorrow. ”

"Zhiyuan, your senior is not true in this matter. Wei Xiao had something to say.

"Xiaoxiao, what do you mean by this?" Geng Zhiyuan wondered, "Why is Director Chen not real?"

Wei Xiao snorted and said, "Mingzhu told me that this shop is actually opened by Director Chen, so the name of the store is Jian Xuan, and one word was taken from each of the names of the two of them." ”

"The clothing store opened by Director Chen?!" Geng Zhiyuan said in surprise.

"It seems that your senior has a lot of appetite, and he has to earn extra money as a factory director, it's not simple, it's really not simple!"

Chen Jian is the deputy director of the county fertilizer factory, and his annual income is higher than that of ordinary workers, but not much higher.

"Why did I, a senior, secretly open a restaurant?" Geng Zhiyuan pondered, "Is it the same as my original intention of opening a restaurant?" If that's the case, then this person is very interesting......

On the eve of May Day, the design of urea plant came to an end, and the remaining pipeline materials were not done for public works, the insulation and anti-corrosion statistics had not been counted, and the pipe rack table had not had time to be improved. Even so, Geng Zhiyuan did not plan to work overtime during the May Day period, because he had more important things to do: go home to raise money.

He and Pang Dong and Yu Qinghe have already discussed, after May Day, the share capital will be paid, the cooperation agreement will be signed, and the preparation of the restaurant will also be on the right track, and strive to open the restaurant before the beginning of July, taking advantage of the summer barbecue season to earn the first quick money.

Geng Zhiyuan has a half-year fixed deposit of 5,000 yuan due in July, which he cannot withdraw yet. The cash on hand plus the balance in the salary card is only more than 2,000 yuan in total, which is far from the 30,000 yuan of shares. Nowadays, the capital can only be borrowed from the parents, and the money can be repaid when there is money. Of course, it's better if your parents don't want him to pay him back.

After rushing home on the evening of April 30, Geng Zhiyuan hurriedly finished eating and rode a bicycle to Wei Xiao's house.

It was Zhang Lan who opened the door, and when she saw that it was Geng Zhiyuan, she smiled knowingly: "Xiao Geng is finally here, Xiaoxiao has been talking to you for several days." ”

"Aunt Zhang, I'm really sorry, the unit is busy with projects and can't spare time. Geng Zhiyuan saw her smiling reluctantly, there was a faint trace of sorrow in her smile, and he couldn't help but have some suspicions in his heart: "I'm afraid that something has happened to Xiaoxiao's family." ”

Entering the door, Geng Zhiyuan was surprised to find that the light in Wei Xiao's parents' room was dark, and Wei Guoqing was abnormally not watching TV, so he asked, "Uncle Wei is not at home?"

"Yes. Zhang Lan said with a gloomy expression: "He was uncomfortable, had a headache, and went to bed early." ”

"Oh, headache, why don't you go to the hospital to have a look?" Geng Zhiyuan wondered.

Zhang Lan sighed: "Where do you dare to go to the hospital? Our factory has not paid wages for two months, and your uncle's furniture factory has not paid any money for almost half a year." I'm so sad!"

In recent years, some state-owned enterprises have had difficulties in operation, and Gao Shuying's papermaking factory has recently paid toilet paper as wages to employees, making the toilet paper at home stacked. Geng Huaiguo accompanied his wife to push the cart on the street and sold it, but he didn't sell much, and when the family couldn't put it down, he could only give it to relatives and friends as a favor.

The future parents-in-law are in difficulty, and the son-in-law can't stare at the excitement. Geng Zhiyuan hesitated slightly, then took out his wallet and took out all the hundred-yuan bills in it and said, "Aunt Zhang, I only have this thousand yuan on me, you take it first." ”

Zhang Lan didn't expect her future son-in-law to be so considerate, so she was so moved that she waved her hand again and again: "No! No, good boy, how can we use your money?"

"You use it, it's not enough for me to have it!" Geng Zhiyuan said and stuffed the money into her hand, Zhang Lan couldn't help it, and hurriedly shouted: "Xiaoxiao, come and persuade Xiao Geng!"

Wei Xiao had been listening to the conversation between her mother and her boyfriend in the house, and had to push the door and say: "Mom, you just accept it, it can be regarded as a little bit of Zhiyuan's heart." ”

"This ...... How embarrassing is this?" Zhang Lan held a handful of money and muttered at a loss: "Oh! You two are not married yet, what's the matter with your money?"

Wei Xiao dragged her boyfriend into her cabin, and the two people who loved each other reunited after a long absence, and couldn't help hugging each other and kissing each other. After a long and passionate kiss, the two snuggled up to the bed.

Geng Zhiyuan's heart was as thin as hair, and he was sensitive to the fact that the hand holding his girlfriend seemed to touch the bone, he turned his head to take a closer look, Wei Xiao was much thinner than the last time they met.

"Why have you lost weight again?" Geng Zhiyuan said very distressedly.

Wei Xiao lowered his head and cried: "My parents are worried like this, how can I eat?"

Geng Zhiyuan's parents-in-law couldn't pay their salaries, and Geng Zhiyuan couldn't do anything about it, so he had to say with relief: "If you have difficulties as a family, why don't I give you every month's salary?"

"No! Don't!" Wei Xiao was willing to let her boyfriend suffer, and said hurriedly: "You can't be hungry with my salary, you just take care of yourself in the provincial capital." ”

"Okay!" Geng Zhiyuan sighed: "It seems that it is difficult to talk about the meeting of the two parents. ”

Wei Xiao nodded lightly: "Wait, now like this, my parents are not in the mood to talk about marriage." ”

The two of them have a skin-to-skin relationship, and they are also heart-to-heart emotionally, so they naturally don't have to hide their words. The Wei family is facing financial difficulties and needs practical assistance. Geng Zhiyuan thought for a while and said: "My mother has a lot of toilet paper in the factory as a salary, I will bring some tomorrow, and your family doesn't have to buy it." ”

"Hmm. Wei Xiao complained quietly: "My dad has a headache recently, I want to take him to the hospital to see, he can't go, I'm about to die of worry." ”

At the end of the 90s, state-owned enterprises in small and medium-sized cities had not yet implemented medical insurance, and workers had to pay out of their own pockets to go to the hospital to see a doctor, and then go to the factory with a medical expense bill to reimburse the actual amount. Many enterprises in difficulty cannot even pay wages on time, and naturally they will default on the medical expenses of their employees, and some of them will delay for many years, even until the enterprise goes bankrupt and closes down.

"This can't be done...... Geng Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "You can't delay it if you're sick, you still have to persuade your father." ”

"Zhiyuan......" Wei Xiao raised her head and looked at her boyfriend pitifully, "My family is like this...... You...... Do you still want me?"

"What nonsense!" Geng Zhiyuan said categorically: "Take the word "go!" Your family is poor, and I am willing to marry you as a wife! We will be together for the rest of our lives! Share happiness and hardship!"

"Zhiyuan......" Wei Xiao was moved to tears like rain, she wiped her tears and said: "I won't go to see you during this time, it will cost you five or six hundred yuan to go once, it's too wasteful!"

"Okay. "A penny is hard for a hero, and when money is tight, you can save it. Geng Zhiyuan said helplessly: "Then I'll find a chance to come back to see you." ”

"Hmm......" Wei Xiao snorted and said apologetically: "I wanted to buy you a wallet as a gift on May Day, but I can't buy it now." ”

encountered financial difficulties, and his girlfriend still wanted to buy him something, Geng Zhiyuan's heart was warm: "I don't have to spend that unjust money, my wallet can still be used." ”

accompanied Wei Xiao for a long time, and after her mood stabilized, Geng Zhiyuan reluctantly said goodbye. When he got home and lay on his bed, he was quite touched: "There is nothing to be sick with, nothing is not without money." Money is really a good thing, it's better to have as much as possible, and you can't lack it. ”

After the Spring Festival, Geng Zhiyuan successively participated in the design of the tank farm of the main urea frame, air compressor station and Yurong nitric acid project in Jingxian County, and it is estimated that he can get a bonus of four or five thousand yuan for these sections. The remaining half a year will strive to do a few more projects, and if this year's bonus can exceed 10,000 yuan, he will have the ability to help his girlfriend's family.

Moreover, if the cooperative restaurant can open normally in July, he will have an additional income, although I don't know how much, but it can be regarded as an additional way to increase income.

Men are the pillars of the family. Since he wants to marry someone else's daughter, he must help his girlfriend's family tide over the difficulties, which not only reflects Wei Xiao's vision and wise choice, but also proves that he is a man who can be entrusted for life.

On the morning of the first day of the holiday, Geng Zhiyuan did not rush to find Wei Xiao, but accompanied his parents to sit in the living room drinking tea and chatting, and by the way, he found an opportunity to ask about borrowing money.

"Mom and Dad, how did you discuss the loan I said?" Geng Zhiyuan asked cautiously with a smiling face.

Gao Shuying glanced at the old man, Geng Huaiguo coughed and said, "30,000 yuan is not a small amount, and your mother and I haven't saved much money, and the money saved is also for you brothers." ”

Geng Zhiyuan nodded busily and said, "Yes, my parents still love us the most." ”

"Your mother and I will give you a maximum of 20,000 yuan, and you don't have to pay it back, this was originally intended for you to get married. Geng Zhiyuan's words made Geng Zhiyuan a little disappointed, and there was still a full 10,000 yuan short, where did he borrow such a large amount of money?

Gao Shuying said on the side: "Zhiyuan, what happened to you and Xiao Wei?

"Something happened to her family, and she had to push back when she met her parents. Geng Zhiyuan replied.

"Look at ......" Geng Huaiguo continued: "You and Xiao Wei are going to get married again, if you use this money, what will you do when you get married?"

"Your dad is right. Gao Shuying persuaded bitterly: "You haven't done business again, if you lose money, what money will you take to marry someone?"

Geng Huaiguo also said: "Concentrating on learning technology is the right way, catering is not easy to do, don't make a loss of wife and break the army, both ends are empty." ”

The money saved by his parents can't be given to him alone, and he has to consider his younger brother Geng Zhiwei. Geng Zhiyuan can understand this, but the matter of the restaurant is already on the verge and has to be issued, even if he loses money, he has to go all the way.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry. Geng Zhiyuan patiently explained: "I earned nearly 10,000 yuan in the first half of last year, and it is estimated that I can earn 20,000 yuan this year, and I don't have to worry about making money in the design institute." ”

"Your hospital is so profitable?" Geng Huaiguo said in surprise: "It seems that the units in the province are indeed better off than the enterprises below." ”

"We are a national project, at the end of last year, when the bonus was divided, some senior engineers in our room took 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, and my teacher also got more than 30,000 yuan. Geng Zhiyuan recalled.

"Forty or fifty thousand bonus!" Geng Huaiguo and Gao Shuying said in surprise: "Son, can you also get this number in the future?"

Geng Zhiyuan nodded confidently and said: "Yes! It's just a little more, as long as I learn the technology well and do more projects, the money will not be a problem in the future." ”

"Then we can rest assured!" "My children have entered a good unit and have a good income, and the parents are of course satisfied, and the old couple no longer mention the bad thing of worrying about losing money.
