Chapter 65: Covetousness
The parents took the second sister and the third sister to open a store in the county, and Xin Andong accompanied the two old people and the eldest sister at home. The eldest sister couldn't turn her brain, she didn't want to go back to Fan's house or cheer up, she washed her face with tears every day, and her heart looked like ashes, and Mrs. Xin sat on the edge of the bed and nagged, while enlightening her, but with little effect.
Before the start of school, Xin Andong had nothing to do, he wrote his homework at home every day, and Jiang Dahe sometimes came to him to play, but Xin Andong was afraid of the cold, and he didn't like those games of climbing mountains and going down the river, so he lived a very decadent life every day.
It's better to start school as soon as possible.
Wang Qijun had a bad year this year, he stood at the door with his hands behind his back and looked at it several times a day. Why hasn't the Xin family come yet, the Xin family won't really break off cooperation with him, right?
These thoughts kept lingering in his mind during this time.
As long as he thought of this possibility, Wang Qijun's heart was like a big hole, and the cold and biting wind kept rushing inward, and the cigarettes that he used to hold in his mouth didn't taste very good!
His body shook, and remorse flashed across his gray face.
His brain is not stupid, and he understands it once he thinks about it, the cooperation between him and the Xin family, the Xin family is the dominant party, there are many lobsters in the river, there is no Wang Qijun, there are also Zhang Qijun and Li Qijun, there is no shortage of people who provide lobsters to the Xin family, and he Wang Qijun, if he can't supply lobsters to the Xin family, he will no longer be able to earn money so easily!
As long as he thought of Bai Huahua's ticket flying away in front of him, Wang Qijun's face distorted for a moment, no! He slapped his thigh, threw away the cigarette butt, and hurriedly ran back to the yard, he couldn't just forget it......
Since the New Year, the suppliers of the Xin family have changed, Wang Aihua has no heart to go to school, but several of his good brothers who dropped out of school and were originally going to work in Guangzhou suddenly wanted to be the lobster supplier of the Xin family, pestering him to make peace, Wang Aihua helped the Xin family a lot before, and I also have a little weight on the Xin family's side.
As soon as he said that, Xin Wenfang tried those people, and after two or three times, he felt that he was quite responsible and punctual, so he nodded and agreed, wrote down the contract, and gave the majority of Wang Qijun's former head to Wang Aihua's three good brothers.
Xin Andong naturally knew about this, so when he opened the door and saw Wang Qijun at the door who was smiling flatteringly at him, his brows frowned.
However, the visitor was a guest, and Xin Andong welcomed people into the house.
"Uncle Wang drinks tea. He poured a cup of hot tea for Wang Qijun, polite and polite.
"Hey!" Wang Qijun, who had been anxious, breathed a sigh of relief, he picked up the teacup gratefully, and said with a smile, "I should have come to visit the New Year earlier, but I couldn't get rid of a bunch of things at home, no, as soon as the work at home was finished, I immediately came to the door, and all the lobsters in the ox cart outside were all lobsters, three barrels, 70 catties, I was afraid that the business in the restaurant for the New Year would not be able to supply lobsters!"
Maybe Xin Andong's attitude was not as indifferent as that day, he said that he was getting more and more confident, as if he Wang Qijun had helped the Xin family a lot.
Xin Andong is not the kind of unforgiving, although he fell out with Wang Qijun, but he didn't want to investigate too much, looking at the past situation of cooperation between the two sides, he tacitly agreed that the two sides were peacefully terminated.
It's just that I didn't expect Uncle Wang to suddenly come to the door and come to deliver lobsters?
His eyes flashed, and he said, "Uncle Wang, I thought my attitude last time was already very clear, and the cooperation between our two families has been nullified. ”
He spoke very directly, and as soon as his voice fell, Wang Qijun's face froze for a moment, and anger flashed in his wide pupils.
"Xiao Xin, uncle was blinded by lard last time, confess to you today, uncle will not commit it again next time, you see that our two families are old cooperation, and others may know your lobster restaurant better than me, give uncle a face?"
Wang Qijun is also one of the best people in Wangjia Village, he is very smart, especially the current affairs, otherwise he would not have been fooled by Xin Andong at will when the people in the village were diligent in planting crops, and he would have done it with him at will, he can bend and stretch, from Xin Andong's tone, he knew that the other party must have complained in his heart about the last time, so he was faced with faces, although he was angry, he could still lick his face and ask for peace.
He looked at Xin Andong eagerly, clearly letting him see the remorse and pleading in his eyes.
However, even if he was so 'low-voiced', Xin Andong did not let go, and finally politely invited him out of the Xin family. Wang Qijun blushed, clenched his fists and left the Xin family, looking at the wooden door that was pasted with Spring Festival couplets, his heart was anxious mixed with a trace of panic.
Xin Andong said just now that when the two cooperated, the contract was clearly written in black and white, and the breach of contract was to pay liquidated damages, and he would not pursue it in the past, but if he did not forgive, then he would call the police.
As long as he thought of the half-grown boy's plain eyes, Wang Qijun's monstrous anger and more revenge were instantly stillborn, stripped of all emotions, leaving only deep remorse for his past greed.
'Smack!'
He slapped himself hard, as if he had aged more than a decade in an instant, and left hunched over and full of decadence.
There are some things, once missed, there is never a chance to turn back.
"Dongzi, who came just now?" Grandma's ears were a little bad, just now with the eldest sister in the room, I vaguely heard the sound of her grandson talking to someone, but just pushed the door open but disappeared.
Xin Andong chuckled, "No one, don't worry." "In the final analysis, Wang Qijun is at fault in this matter, if he hadn't been interested in making money and not stuck the lobster used to open the store, so that his parents went down to the river to fish for shrimp in the middle of the night, he wouldn't be so cold today.
Everyone is responsible for what they have done, Wang Qijun is, he is too, everything that happened before was not because he looked away at the beginning, he doesn't blame anyone, but he won't easily forgive anyone.
Mrs. Xin was puzzled, and what else did she want to say, but Xin Andong said quickly, "Milk, didn't Aunt Mei send a root root yesterday, let's cook glutinous rice root and eat it?"
The Aunt Mei in his mouth is Jiang Dahe's mother, Jiang Dahe's brother Jiang Dajiang was a soldier outside, and he went home to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year, and he didn't know where he brought a lot of fresh lotus root back, and Aunt Mei specially asked Dahe to send one to their family.
To her grandson, Mrs. Xin naturally responded to her needs, and instantly forgot about the person who came just now, "Okay! There is still some old brown sugar at home, and it just so happens that your sister can't eat recently, so she has a sweet taste in her mouth." ”
When she was young, she ate candy and was not happy about anything. Mrs. Xin was worried about her eldest granddaughter, and endured the pain of her flesh and thought that today's glutinous rice lotus could be filled with more brown sugar.
In this era, brown sugar is quite expensive, and it is generally eaten by women who give birth to children and are confined, and the brown sugar of the Xin family is still brought by the Jiang family last time to make amends, and Mrs. Xin has been reluctant to eat it.
Looking at the back of her grandmother leaving in a hurry, Xin Andong's eyes were full of smiles, in fact, her grandmother didn't look at her partiality on the surface, but in her heart she was not bad for the three sisters, and she didn't know how much better than the patriarchal old ladies in the village.
The glutinous rice lotus root simmered until soft is very sweet and delicious, Xin Andong ate two small pieces alone, he is considered a more strange man among men, he likes to eat sweets, of course it is not the kind that is sweet, and the slight sweetness is just the right favorite. The eldest sister also ate a while, and drank a big bowl of sweet water for boiling glutinous rice lotus, looking at her peaceful face, she knew that she should love it, but she was so happy that the milk was so happy, and the remaining glutinous rice lotus let the little grandson not eat it, and left it all to the eldest girl.
Xin Andong: What about the heart, liver and meat?
At this time, the atmosphere of the Xinjia lobster restaurant in the county seat was extremely embarrassing, looking at the mother and daughter who were eating lobsters at table No. 5 not far away, Xin Wenfang's face was blue and red, and Xin Anqiu, who was standing behind her, also looked disgusted and repulsed.
"Mom, when are you going to get them away?!" Pulling the corners of her mother's clothes, Xin Anqiu really couldn't stand it, why did her family's lobster restaurant let irrelevant people play the autumn breeze!
Xin Wenfang's throat was dry and tight, she naturally knew what her daughter meant, but in public, there were so many customers in the store, she really didn't want to make a big deal about it, she sighed, comforted the girl who was about to explode, and whispered, "Now there are many people, it's the face of the restaurant that is lost when it makes a big fuss, our family will have to do business in the future, you bear with it for the time being, just do a good deed to feed the pigs, and the two will leave after eating!"
Xin Anqiu also knew that what her mother said was right, but she was upset in the end, so she shook off the rag and turned around to leave angrily, shameless, shameless!
Xin Yanfang and Chen Jiayi, the mother and daughter at table five, are really rats who have fallen into the rice tank, and they can't help themselves, especially Xin Wenfang is gnawing on spicy crayfish with a mouthful of oil, while scanning everything in the lobster restaurant with her eyes.
Eight tables, I heard that there are four more in the backyard, and the twelve tables are full of people, not including those that are directly packed and taken away, her eyes returned to the spicy crayfish in front of her, a pot of this for 3 yuan, at least one pot for a table, is 3 yuan, twelve tables, twelve pots, thirty-six yuan, plus a barbecue that sells very hot...... Xin Yanfang closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
When she opened it, her eyes were full of light, and she was going to get rich!
"Mom, why don't you eat it? I haven't eaten enough, I still want to eat screws, and barbecue, my classmate said that mutton skewers are the most delicious, and they are very expensive, you let my aunt-in-law roast them for me!" Chen Jiayi licked her fingers, pushed Xin Yanfang, who was stunned by a shrimp, and instructed angrily.
She is the only one in her family, there is no shortage of food, but she is not rich enough, she has long heard of the Xinjia lobster restaurant, several classmates in their class with good family backgrounds often eat it, and the spicy crayfish depicted are delicious enough to make people swallow their tongues. She used to only have envy and longing, who knew that her mother actually told her that it was her grandparents' house that opened the store today!
She didn't know her grandparents who she had never met, but the Xin family was her mother's house, and her mother's was hers, Chen Jiayi thought proudly, who would dare to say that she was a poor ghost in the class in the future!
Xin Yanfang reacted quickly, looking at her daughter's eyes full of love, she hurt her body when she gave birth to Chen Jiayi, and she only got such a baby egg, maybe there is only this one in her life, so she naturally depends on her everything.
Busy said, "Okay, this is the Xin family lobster restaurant, you forgot what your mother's surname is, you can eat as much as you want, Mom will let your aunt roast it!"
After speaking, she waved to Xin Wenfang unceremoniously, and said loudly, "Sister, you ask your eldest brother-in-law to bake another twenty skewers of mutton skewers for Jiayi, she loves to eat them! Oh, there are screws and lobsters and a pot each, serve more! And this soda is gone, you can change it for us!"
Xin Yanfang pouted dissatisfiedly, thinking that her sister really had no eyesight! She was embarrassed to collect money and settle accounts, and when she came, she would definitely do better than her sister who didn't know a few big words!
Looking at Xin Wenfang's brand-new sweater, Xin Yanfang was very jealous, they were all the daughters of the old Xin family, why could the eldest sister be shameless and enjoy her parents' money, this store has her share!
The tone of her natural command almost didn't scare Xin Wenfang to death, and a mouthful of old blood choked on her throat and eyes.
Xin Wenfang gritted her teeth and stared at Xin Yanfang, the abacus beads in her hand were almost smashed by her, she really regarded herself as a home, she wanted to eat and drink, is her face as big as a basin?
