"Dog meat rolls three times, and the gods can't sit steadily!"

In August 2010, the scorching sun roasted the newly rising city of Xingshi, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still shining, and the spicy Cheng dΓΉ of the sun did not weaken at all.

Today, the highest temperature in Xingshi reached 36 degrees, and the lowest temperature was 32 degrees.

In Subei's own ridiculous words, a daughter-in-law can not marry, and a house and a car can not be bought, but this tongue cannot be satisfied.

has lived in Xingshi for six years, from college to work, Su Bei has been staying in Xingshi, has long adapted to the hot weather of Xingshi, and quit smoking for a month, just for this meal tonight.

Although he has been working for more than two years, Subei's salary is not enough to support him to eat and drink at will, and everything has risen in price this year, when Subei first went to college, the house price in Xingshi was less than five thousand, and now the house in a slightly better location will cost seven or eight thousand casually, but the one that has not risen, I am afraid that there is only the pitiful salary of the bottom workers.

Subei has worked for more than two years, with a monthly income of less than 4,000, no food, no drink, no sleep, and no half-square meter house. In addition, in order to save money for his parents to buy a house in the county, he forced himself to save half of his salary every month, so he lived a relatively poor life.

As soon as half past five arrived, Su Bei packed up his things with his colleagues and prepared to get off work.

"Xiaohai, Yanzi, are you going to sing together? Jin Cancan KTV, I bought a big house in a group, and I am going to have a good time with a group of friends tonight. A fashionably dressed woman in her thirty-four-five-year-old shouted to the desk next to her as she packed her bag.

"Sister Li, I made a date with my boyfriend tonight, I'm sorry. Zhou Yan, a clerk of the company, replied.

"It's okay, your handsome boyfriend seems to have good conditions at home, and he drove an Audi at such a young age, Yanzi, my sister told you, you have to hold on to the ...... Xiaohai, are you going?" Sister Li said with a grin.

Sister Li's big name is Li Meili, her appearance is average, her body is plump, she is a native of Star City, I heard that there are several suites, and the monthly rent is enough for her to spend, and she goes to work just to kill her life, and she lives without pressure, and she has always been the object of envy of several other people at the same time.

"Sister Li, I will go to the customer's new house to see the decoration process, I took over the case independently for the first time, I have to keep an eye on it, and strive to get the customer's praise, the place is close to where I live, and I will go back directly when the time comes, sorry." Su Bei half-truthfully found an excuse and refused.

Subei's profession is interior design, when he first started as a designer assistant, he just came out to take orders independently, and tonight's dog meat hot pot is also a celebration for himself, and being able to take orders independently means that his income will increase by a level...... As long as Shun lì completes the list at hand, the monthly income next month is expected to exceed 5,000!

"You have a job to do, so there's no way, I wanted to introduce you to a few girls in the evening!"

……

Carrying a shoulder bag out of the company, Subei squeezed into the bus and went to a newly opened community next to the Furong District Government, where his customer bought a small apartment of more than 50 square meters. went up to the twenty-eighth floor, opened the door with the spare key of the new house, Su Bei took out the design drawings and checked the scene, and called the contractor of the company's cooperation, told some things, and then went downstairs out of the community and went straight to the restaurant called "Qinyuan Hot Pot City".

Qinyuan hot pot city, is the most famous hot pot restaurant in Xingshi, the decoration here is luxurious, antique, the main Sichuan Province spicy hot pot and Hunan Province local spicy hot pot, the taste is excellent, although the price is expensive, but the business is still hot day by day, if you don't book, go late, maybe there will be no seat.

Su Bei called at noon to reserve a seat, and as soon as he sat down, he didn't order food immediately, but called his college classmate An Qiyi.

"Boss, where are you, I'm already in Qinyuan Hot Pot City...... Okay, I'll order first, your favorite fried tofu is called two? Okay, no problem......

After chatting for a while, Su Bei hung up the phone, called the waiter to order, and then looked around, looked at the environment, and sighed in his heart that the hotel owner's wealth was generous, as an interior designer, he could more or less see that the hotel's decoration phone bill was at least six figures.

After looking at it for a while, Subei lost interest, although the decoration here is luxurious, but ...... It's just luxury, and there's not much peculiarity. took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and sent a text message to An Qiyi, asking him if he had arrived, then put away the phone and put it in his pocket, and suddenly felt a little diaphragmatic in his hand, and there seemed to be something hard in his pocket.

When I took it out, it was a black stone ball the size of a little thumb, round, black and shiny, and shiny under the light.

Su Bei was in a trance for a while, and after a while, he remembered that he picked it up on the edge of a construction site when he went to work in the morning.

I played with it in my hand for a while, and then raised my hand to look at it under the light, and the more I looked at Su Bei, the more I felt that the little black bead I picked up was probably some kind of jade.

In addition to eating, another good thing is to write something to read a book, claiming to be half a literary youth, since ancient times, literati are good jade, this half of the literary and artistic youth in northern Jiangsu is influenced by traditional culture, and has always longed for beautiful jade. It's just limited to material conditions, and I haven't been in contact with any good jade, so I usually go to the stalls on the antique street to have a look.

Now the jade Guanyin he wears around his neck was bought by him for a hundred yuan at a stall on Antique Street.

This black bead reminded him of the black beauty in the jade - Moyu.

"I don't know if it's a kind of black jade, so I'll go to the antique street on the weekend to find someone to identify it. ”

After playing for a while, Su Bei put away the beads, took out his mobile phone to surf the Internet, and it didn't take long for An Qiyi to arrive.

An Qiyi is the oldest of the three college roommates in northern Jiangsu, two years older than northern Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu is twenty-six this year, he is already twenty-eight, and now he sells insurance in an insurance company, he mixes well, and his salary is much higher than that of northern Jiangsu, but he has a girlfriend and is ready to buy a house and get married this year, so his money is tighter than that of northern Jiangsu.

A spicy dog meat hot pot, a lot of side dishes, two servings of rice, two bottles of cold beer, two foodies feasted for a while, and in less than half an hour, they ate seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

"Boss An, is the wedding room you bought about to be handed over?" During the intermission, Su Bei wiped the red oil on his mouth with a nappy and asked casually.

"Well, the house will be delivered next week, and the decoration will have to be entrusted to you. An Qiyi chewed the fried tofu stained with soup in his mouth, said vaguely, and frowned when he mentioned the decoration.

"Don't worry, I'm doing this, but I'm sure to get a warm nest for you and your sister-in-law, in this way, I have 40,000 yuan on hand, first give you a cushion to decorate the house, you don't ask the family to ask for it, just when I lend it to you, you are a small apartment, 40,000 yuan is enough to save a little, and you can also make a good set of household appliances." Su Bei knew the reason why An Qiyi frowned.

"Then what's the matter, that's why you save buying a house for your parents, besides, you should also find a girlfriend, once you find a girlfriend, it will cost money......" An Qiyi shook his head and refused.

"It's okay, boss, the second and fourth are not in the star market, just the two of us are in the same city, the brothers should take care of each other, besides, even if I want to buy a house in the county now, it will cost at least two or three hundred thousand yuan, and I don't know when I can get the money, and you can pay me back when I want to buy it?...... As for the girlfriend, hehe, let the mother-in-law raise it again. As he spoke, Su Bei took a sip of beer.

An Qiyi looked at Su Bei, who was drinking, and was silent for a while: "Are you still worried about Li Luo'er in your heart?"

Li Luoer, a girl who dated for a period of time in northern Jiangsu, when she graduated from college, she broke up with northern Jiangsu decisively, and bluntly sued him that she was not suitable for him, saying that she wanted to pursue a richer material life.

"Why are you worried about her, they're all other people's wives, and I'm still worried about a fart, I just don't want to deliberately look for it, just follow fate, you know, literary and artistic young people like us pay the most attention to fate, hehe. ”

"Fate is a fart, this kind of thing still has to take the initiative, you didn't think about the best, it's been so long, it's not worth thinking about it anymore, besides, with the third child, you are so sassy and heroic, you will definitely be able to find a better ...... in the future By the way, when it comes to literature and art, I think of one thing, didn't you write novels on the Internet before, and do you still write them now?" An Qiyi saw that Su Bei was fine, so he smiled and teased reassuringly.

Novel?

Su Bei shook his head again, writer, that was the answer he gave to the teacher in junior high school what his ideal was.

But there is always an insurmountable distance between the ideal and reality, Su Bei shook his head and smiled: "When I just graduated from college, I still wanted to write, and I hit a few books on the street, and I was busy with work, so I gave up a long time ago." ”

"Hit the streets?"

"It means that no one reads it, and it doesn't write it. Su Bei popularized the Internet language for his brothers.

……

A hot pot cost more than 300 yuan, aside from the price, Subei felt that this meal was very good, the hot pot tasted really good, plus you can chat with your college roommates, relax the work pressure that you usually accumulate, and talk about the previous college, and the mood is very happy.

Back at the rental house, Su Bei took a cold shower, lay on the bed but couldn't sleep, always recalling some things in college, more of the girl who had sweet memories with him.

For Li Luoer, Su Bei really didn't think about it, but he saw the other party's wedding photos in the class group some time ago, and looked at the girl who used to snuggle in his arms and now snuggled up to another man, and his heart was more or less different.

"Ahh

Su Bei yelled twice, got up from the bed, didn't turn on the light, and went directly to the computer next to the bed, turned on the computer, and couldn't sleep anyway, it was better to find some information on the Internet to see if the black beads he picked up were a kind of black jade.

Smack!

I don't know what was mixed with, Su Bei was careless and fell to the ground, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, supported it with his hands first, his head was not injured, but his hands were hot, he got up from the ground, turned on the light, and looked, the hands of both hands were rubbed with a lot of skin, and a trace of blood oozed out.
