Chapter 153: It's Good to Be Rich
Zou Zhaofeng returned home and returned the motorcycle to his cousin, and happened to meet a young couple shopping in the store, and the girl took a fancy to a pair of Apple brand pants, and finally bought it for 30 yuan.
The girl was very happy, holding her boyfriend's hand and leaving affectionately.
Zou Zhaofeng felt sad when he saw it.
Nowadays, Apple brand pants are becoming popular in China, and every young person dreams of owning one, and they are reluctant to throw it away until they are rotten.
Although Zou Zhaofeng's wife Xiaoyun has become a child's mother, she loves beauty very much, and was once known as "a flower in a department store", and like other young people, she also wants to buy a pair of Apple brand judges.
However, Zou Zhaofeng couldn't afford it.
Thirty yuan is not too much of a lot, but his family really can't afford it.
Now, Zou Zhaofeng is suspended from work, a pair of old parents have no jobs, and they are so old that they can only make some groceries to earn some pocket money, and they are not willing to spend it at all, so they give it to Zou Zhaofeng's younger brother who is in college.
Zou Zhaofeng's family's expenses are currently all dependent on the salary of his wife, who is still a salesperson in a department store, more than 200 yuan a month, and the family is living tightly, and the three-year-old child wants to eat meat, so he has to think about it, and when the meat stall is about to close the stall, he will buy a little leftover meat, and come back to make it for his son to eat.
Wife has not enjoyed any happiness since marrying herself, both of them used to have a salary, and they lived well, but now she is the only one left with a salary, and she is immediately overstretched, and she sells so many Apple brand pants every day, all of which are sold to others, but she can't afford to buy one.
The originally gentle and considerate wife has also been tempered into an indifferent and worldly woman in the poverty of reality, and she treats him coldly and sneeringly at him every day.
Many times, Zou Zhaofeng also thinks that he has failed too much, but he is very confused, since he was a child, he has been working hard, never done bad things, never been lazy, why did life become like this?
Seeing Zou Zhaofeng's appearance in a daze, the cousin asked, "Zhaofeng, what's wrong?"
Zou Zhaofeng was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and smiled: "Oh, it's nothing, brother, I left the motorcycle here, I'm leaving." ”
"Don't worry, wait a minute. ”
The cousin took out a plastic bag of chicken cakes from the cabinet under the cash register and stuffed it into Zou Zhaofeng's arms: "Zhaofeng, your sister-in-law bought it just now, and I bought two copies, and you can take these back and give them to Zhihong to eat." ”
"Brother......" Zou Zhaofeng wanted to shed tears.
The cousin patted Zou Zhaofeng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Zhaofeng, what's wrong with you today, it's a little abnormal! Hehe, you didn't sleep yesterday, go back and sleep for a while." ”
"Hmm. Zou Zhaofeng nodded heavily and squeezed the chicken cake in his arms tightly, "Brother, then I'll go back." ”
"Well, okay, let's go back. ”
Two more guests came in outside, and my cousin hurried to greet them: "You two, what do you want to buy?"
Zou Zhaofeng looked at his cousin who was only in his thirties, and he was already a little gray with his temples, a little lost his soul, and walked out slowly.
Zou Zhaofeng thought all the way, and slowly walked to his alley, where a postman on a bicycle shouted from behind: "Hey, Zhaofeng, your letter." ”
The postman stopped the car beside Zou Zhaofeng, took out a letter from the large canvas bag and handed it to Zou Zhaofeng: "Oh, your letter." ”
Zou Zhaofeng took the letter mechanically, his eyes were very empty.
"Zhaofeng, what's the matter with you, you've hit the evil spirit, right?" the postman was very puzzled, and rode away.
Zou Zhaofeng looked at the envelope, which was written by his younger brother, who was in college. My brother rarely writes back, could it be that something happened?
Zou Zhaofeng hurriedly tore open the envelope, quickly read the two pieces of letterhead, and his brows slowly wrinkled into a pimple.
It turned out that the younger brother had a girlfriend in college, the girl was very good, good at studying, good looking, good character, good family, and loved his younger brother very much, and often gave him gifts.
My brother didn't give her any gifts because he was too short of money, but the girl wasn't that kind of material girl, so she didn't care at all.
Next month, their school has a small long vacation, and his girlfriend and a few roommates have made an appointment to bring their boyfriends and go on a trip together.
Usually it's nothing shabby, but now in front of so many people, it can't be shabby.
Therefore, the younger brother, who has always been sensible, had no choice but to write a letter to Zou Zhaofeng, asking his brother to see if he could find a way to send him 500 yuan.
My brother has never asked for money, but this time, no matter how difficult it is, Zou Zhaofeng has to help my brother do it.
However, Zou Zhaofeng also knows that the family currently only has more than 700 yuan in deposits, and this money is killed by his wife, and it is bound to be difficult to get this money from his wife!
Zou Zhaofeng moved back home step by step, and before he entered the house, he heard his wife reprimanding his son: "You are greedy! Why are other people's children not as greedy as you! If you dare to do this in the future, I will tear your mouth apart!"
The son is Zou Zhaofeng's heart, Zou Zhaofeng immediately became angry, pushed open the door and walked in, but when he saw his wife wiping her tears, the momentum that had just come up was discouraged again, and when the son saw Zou Zhaofeng, he ran over crying, got into Zou Zhaofeng's arms, and howled loudly.
Zou Zhaofeng stroked his son's head in distress and whispered: "My son is so young, why are you scolding him like this?"
Xiao Yun pointed to her son while crying and said, "You ask him what he did!"
"Zhihong, what are you doing? tell Dad?" Zou Zhaofeng stroked his son's head and asked softly.
The son flattened his mouth and said while crying: "Dad, I went to Xiaochao's house to play, and when I saw Xiaochao's family eating dumplings, I secretly ate one, and Xiaochao beat me...... Woo woo, Dad, I haven't eaten dumplings......"
Zou Zhaofeng's eyes immediately turned red, and tears swirled uncontrollably in his eyes.
Xiao Yun cried even louder and scolded: "Zou Zhaofeng, you bastard, our mother and daughter have followed you, and they have been moldy for eight lifetimes!"
Zou Zhaofeng silently picked up his son, wiped away the tears on his son's face, and said: "Son, today Dad will take you to Lao Mo for dinner, eat a big meal, you can eat whatever you want!"
"Bastard, you still dare to lie to your son! You are really useless!" Xiao Yun scolded angrily.
Zou Zhaofeng didn't speak, put his son on the ground, and said to his wife: "Xiao Yun, you wait, I will have money at night." ”
After speaking, Zou Zhaofeng walked outside.
Xiao Yun was stunned for a while, then suddenly reacted and ran outside the door, Zou Zhaofeng had already walked away.
"Bastard, if you dare to do something illegal, we can't spare you!" Xiao Yun shouted at Zou Zhaofeng's back.
Zou Zhaofeng didn't look back, and walked out step by step with firm steps.
Zou Zhaofeng immediately found Chen Donghui and said that he had thought about it and decided to go to Japan immediately.
Chen Donghui was very happy in his heart, but he still had a calm expression on the surface, he immediately gave Zou Zhaofeng 20,000 yuan for his expenses during this time, and told Zou Zhaofeng that when he got there, he didn't have to think about making money, so he went to learn technology.
If he feels that he can learn a mature technique, he will call back, and if he can't, then call back and find someone to replace him at any time.
Zou Zhaofeng said that if he can't learn technology this time, he will never return to China!
Chen Donghui didn't know that Zou Zhaofeng had such a great psychological stimulation during the time he left, but when he saw him like this, he knew that Zou Zhaofeng would definitely be able to succeed.
If a person is in a desperate situation, whoever can give him a straw can turn him into a new person.
When he left with the 20,000 yuan given to him by Chen Donghui, Zou Zhaofeng told Chen Donghui that only now did he finally understand the words of the chief designer, that poverty is not socialism.
Leaving the Jinghu community, Zou Zhaofeng immediately went to the post office to send his younger brother 2,000 yuan.
Then, he bought a bunch of gifts and went to his cousin's shop.
The cousin was very surprised, and hurriedly asked Zou Zhaofeng where he got so much money?
Zou Zhaofeng panicked, saying that the Fengyuan Canning Factory was about to resume operation, and the organization sent him to Japan to learn new technologies, paid the previous arrears of wages, and gave additional family subsidies. My cousin has always taken such good care of him, and he came to thank his cousin. Moreover, during his time in Japan, he also needed his cousin to help take care of his family.
The cousin was very happy and repeatedly assured that Zou Zhaofeng would study with peace of mind, and he would not have to worry about family affairs.
After leaving his cousin, Zou Zhaofeng went to a department store again, and bought Apple-brand judgment pants from his wife's colleagues that his wife had been looking forward to for a long time but had never been willing to buy, as well as popular pedal pants and stockings, and even bought his wife the latest trendy miniskirts, high heels, and finally bought a yellow long skirt.
In addition, I also bought a bunch of gifts for my old parents and good sons, and I couldn't lift them with my hands!
In the surprised eyes of the department store salesman, Zou Zhaofeng paid the cash.
After leaving, the salespeople in the department store talked about it, Zou Zhaofeng, this kid must have taken shit luck and picked up the money!
Otherwise, the brain burns out!
He had been smiling there just now, and he looked like a psychopath.
Back at home, Zou Zhaofeng gave these gifts to his family, and then stuffed two thousand yuan into his wife's hand, and said what he had just said to his cousin.
The family is so happy, they are happier than they have been for a few years!
Although his parents and wife were reluctant, at Zou Zhaofeng's insistence, the family still went to the Moscow Hotel, which is famous in Qinggang and symbolizes one of the most exclusive hotels, and ate the most expensive meal they have ever eaten in their lives!
Zou Zhaofeng and his old father clinked glasses, drank vodka imported from Russia one by one, looked at the novel eyes of his parents looking around, his wife had not shown a satisfied smile for a long time, and his son held a roast chicken leg and swallowed it cutely, Zou Zhaofeng suddenly thought of a sentence that he used to despise in his opinion: It's good to be rich.
