Chapter 106: Brother is in Trouble
Shen Xiaojun and Yang Qingfang really fought for wine, of course, Yang Qingfang did not use beer to fight with Shen Xiaojun, a bottle of Dongjiang Daqu went down, Yang Qingfang, who was not strong enough to drink, had already begun to talk nonsense, Shen Xiaojun was already slightly drunk, and the two held hands, as if they had endless words.
Zhou Tiexiong and Chen Donghui talked about the influential figures in Dongjiang City in the past, but now they are either dead, or they are still squatting in the kiln, or just like him, they can be regarded as retiring from the rivers and lakes.
Hu Hanmin, who drank worse than Yang Qingfang, also drank a lot of wine today, and he was even more sad when he was drunk.
Taking a chance, Chen Donghui and Hu Hanmin touched a glass and asked, "Hermes-Epitek, what is going on?"
Hu Hanmin drank the wine in one gulp, hugged his head with both hands, and finally said with red eyes: "Donghui, Ailing is going to break up with me." ”
"Why?"
Chen Donghui was a bastard before, and Hu Hanmin was a policeman, so he felt inferior, rarely played with Hu Hanmin, and never met Hu Hanmin's girlfriend Chen Ailing, but he knew that they had known each other for many years, had a good relationship, and were about to talk about marriage.
"Why else, for money!" Hu Hanmin sneered nervously.
"How much is the money for marriage?" asked Chen Donghui again.
"Donghui, don't worry about it. If she doesn't marry me for money, then I don't have anything to feel sorry for. ”
Chen Donghui looked at Hu Hanmin, who was full of pain but said that he didn't have to suffer for it, and felt very uncomfortable.
He understands that many young people of Hu Hanmin's age, who have not undergone much social training, often have a tendency to perfectionism, believing that love is love and cannot be confused with marriage.
But in fact, living in such a material world, everything is inseparable from money, and even the purest love is inevitably stained with copper in the whirlpool of the times. In the same way, money can pollute love, and it is also the guarantee of love.
There is nothing wrong with the material base determining the superstructure.
Poor couples mourn everything, no matter how good the relationship is, it will become dim in the stumbling of worldly trivialities, and life is always realistic.
Chen Donghui didn't understand this truth when he was young, but now he understands.
"Hermes-Epitek, is this what Ailing means, or does Ailing's family mean?" asked Chen Donghui.
"Hehe, is there any difference?" Hu Hanmin sneered, "If she insists, can her family call the shots?"
"Hermes-Epitek. Chen Donghu said earnestly, "Over the years, hasn't Ailing had a good relationship with you? But when it comes to marriage, a girl does have to face a lot of family pressure, and you have to understand her. ”
Hu Hanmin actually understands that Chen Ailing still has a deep love for him, but during this time, her parents quarreled with her several times because of this incident, and this time they gave an ultimatum, if Hu Hanmin can't meet their requirements, he will either break up with him or cut off relations with his family!
Under such great pressure, Chen Ailing temporarily returned home.
"Alas!" Hu Hanmin sighed and picked up the wine glass again.
Chen Donghui snatched Hu Hanmin's wine glass and said, "Hanmin, what does her family ask of you and how much does it cost?"
"Astronomical, I can't take it out at all. Hu Hanmin said gloomily.
Zhou Tiexiong, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but speak: "Brother, we don't know each other, so I shouldn't talk too much, but I think you are also a man, you have to hang yourself on a tree! A manly man, what is it if you don't have a wife, just have a brother! Look at my old Zhou, I have lived for half my life, I have never married a wife, and I don't live happily every day!"
Chen Donghui smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking to himself that you Zhou Tiexiong is a reckless hero and doesn't take women seriously, but Hu Hanmin is a lover! You can't understand the mood of an infatuated lover like Hu Hanmin!
Hu Hanmin also didn't care about Zhou Tiexiong's words and ignored him.
"Well, I didn't say it. ”
Zhou Tiexiong looked down on Hu Hanmin, who couldn't afford to let go emotionally, so he took a sip of his wine glass and no longer paid attention to him.
"Hermes-Epitek, what does Ailing's family ask you to be satisfied with?" Chen Donghui asked unrelentingly, he actually had an idea in his heart, and he was determined to help his good brother this time.
"Well, it's useless to tell you. Her family wants me to have a separate house, and I have four major items, and I didn't say much about the bride price, of course, the more the better. Hehe, I can't afford the four major pieces alone, let alone the house and the bride price. After Hu Hanmin finished speaking, he depressedly picked up the bull's-eye cup again and poured it into his mouth.
Chen Donghui calculated in his heart that Dongjiang City can only be regarded as a second-tier city, or even a third-tier city, although some commercial houses have appeared in the city, but most people's housing is mainly government welfare housing and self-built housing, and the housing prices are very cheap.
But he didn't know exactly how much it was, so he asked: "Hermes-Epitek, hasn't a new commercial house been built in front of our No. 1 Middle School, and it has been built for two years, right? Is it finished now? Is it open?"
Hu Hanmin glared at Chen Donghui with somewhat dull eyes, and was stunned for a moment before he said, "You're talking about the Kumho community, right? Ailing went to see it a few times and started to sell it." ”
"How much is a square meter?"
"Hehe, I heard that it is five or six hundred and one square meters. Damn, I don't eat or drink, and three months' salary is enough to buy one square meter! Why don't you go and rob a bank! Alas, forget it, Donghui, you don't care, just leave it to fate. ”
Chen Donghui ignored him, and was thinking in his heart, so he paid 600 yuan per square meter, a 100-square-meter house is enough for them to live in, that is, 60,000 yuan, and the four major pieces are actually color TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and tape recorders, and they don't cost much, plus decoration, bride price, and wedding money, at most 80,000 or 90,000 yuan!
Especially this house, next to the city No. 1 middle school, and the city No. 1 middle school is the best middle school in the city.
Now 600 yuan per square meter to start, in one or two decades, the price will skyrocket dozens of times, and it is very easy to exceed 10,000 per square meter, which can be regarded as a gift from Chen Donghui to an old friend!
Of course, in 1990, 100,000 yuan was undoubtedly an astronomical amount for ordinary people.
But Chen Donghui knew that someone would definitely be able to come up with the money easily.
That night, Yang Qingfang, Shen Xiaojun, and Hu Hanmin all drank too much, vomited several times, and fell asleep deeply. Zhou Tiexiong, who drank a lot of alcohol, was very drunk and drank alone until midnight.
Chen Donghui didn't drink too much wine and went to bed, tomorrow, there are still important things to do.
Early the next morning, Chen Donghui was the first to wake up, and several of them, including Zhou Tiexiong, slept like dead pigs, snoring like thunder.
Chen Donghui didn't bother them, got up quietly, washed up, and went out neatly.
It was just after seven o'clock in the morning, and the streets were already very lively.
This is the first time since Chen Donghui's rebirth that he has walked on the street so easily, taking a look at an ordinary day and an ordinary morning.
There are a lot of small stalls selling breakfast on the roadside, constantly greeting guests, not far away is Dongjiang City No. 4 Middle School, many students wearing school uniforms in groups of three or five, talking and laughing into the school. The green light at the intersection came on, and dozens of bicycles swarmed through to start the day's work. A young mother holding a child passed by Chen Donghui, and the child who was only a few months old in her arms was chubby, and showed a smile to Chen Donghui.
Chen Donghui took a deep breath, and when he was on the street on such an ordinary morning, he was moved to tears.
He knew that this feeling would only happen now, and it would probably not happen again!
The feeling of losing and re-owning these ordinary things is unparalleled and one that no one who has not experienced these things will never experience.
Chen Donghui walked forward not far and saw Yang Qingfang's billiard room.
However, due to so much that has happened in recent times, the billiard room has been closed for several days.
These brothers saved themselves regardless of the danger, Chen Donghui kept them all in mind, and in the future, he would definitely repay them tenfold and hundredfold, those who helped him.
Similarly, he will never let go of those who have harmed him.
In his heart, he has always remembered these two lists, there is kindness to repay kindness, there is revenge, and happy life has always been Chen Donghui's principle.
Next to the billiard room is a small stall to buy breakfast, mainly selling tofu brains and fritters, supporting two large sheds, setting up more than a dozen tables, almost full of people, and business is booming.
Chen Donghui also walked in, ordered a tofu brain and two fried dough sticks, and shared a table with two boys wearing the uniforms of No. 4 Middle School.
The two boys looked at Chen Donghui, didn't pay attention to him, and continued to talk about their kissing with their female classmates in the grove last night.
An aunt quickly brought up the things that Chen Donghui wanted, and she was very appetizing at first glance, the tofu brain was tender and not scattered, the fragrance was fragrant, the marinade was orange and translucent, very delicious, and some coriander was sprinkled on it, and a spoonful of chili oil, Chen Donghui's saliva almost flowed out.
In the previous life, Chen Donghui was also a person who was used to eating all kinds of food, and last night, he also ate a table of sumptuous wine and food, but he didn't feel much, but this morning's bowl of tofu brain made him almost in a state of affairs, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After eating, Chen Donghui took out ten yuan and handed it to the proprietress , a bowl of tofu brain three cents, and a fritters one cent, a total of five cents, which can be described as good quality and low price!
The ten yuan was taken out of Yang Qingfang's pocket by Chen Donghui in the morning, and he originally wanted to have breakfast and then take a taxi to Luo Zhongwen's house.
However, Chen Donghui is in a good mood now, and he doesn't want to take a taxi, so he asked the boss lady the address of Luo Zhongwen's house, and learned that it is not too far, and it is estimated that it will be thirty-four minutes, anyway, it is still early, so Chen Donghui decided to go on foot!
