"What are you talking about, where am I thinking about him? ”

In the living room, Grandma He Yuan was wearing a thick dark blue down jacket and sitting on the sofa with a cane.

"Yes, yes, who doesn't know, you were thinking about your grandson a few days ago. The second uncle put the plate in his hand on the table and joked with He Yuan, "Xiaoyuan, go over quickly, your grandmother misses you." ”

He Yuan smiled awkwardly on his face, his second uncle went to the army very early, was admitted to the military academy in the army, and then was stationed on the border until he was forty or fifty years old, because He Yuan and his brother were going to take the university entrance examination, he chose to retire from the army and go home.

When He Yuan was a child, he rarely saw his second uncle, and the traffic was not convenient at that time, basically about two or three years, he could only come back once.

In my impression, the second uncle is very serious, with a military temperament all over his body, for example, you must wash your hands before eating, whether you are eating or walking, you must straighten your back and straighten your waist, for example, after sleeping, you must fold the quilt into tofu blocks.

Even when he went to his house, after entering the door, the shoes were not put away, he had to go and clean up the shoes, head to head, foot to foot, along with the other shoes in the shoe rack, neatly placed.

In short, because of this incident, many people in the family are not used to it. In addition, the second uncle is used to being a leader in the army, and he speaks and does things with an unquestionable feeling, and everyone in the family is a little afraid of him. Especially for people of He Yuan's generation, every time they heard that they were going to the second uncle's house, their scalps were numb, and it felt like going to the execution ground.

However, I don't know if it's been back for a long time, or if I'm old, the second uncle has made He Yuan feel more and more easy-going in the past few years, and he won't be like obsessive-compulsive disorder, to entangle those details, and he won't be able to tell some cold jokes that belong to the army and He Yuan they can't understand like before......

"Grandma. He Yuan put down his things and entered the living room.

There were already a lot of people sitting in the living room, Grandma He Yuan, Aunt He Yuan and his brother, Uncle He Yuan, aunt, several people around the coffee table, sitting on the sofa, watching TV and chatting.

After He Yuan said hello one by one, he sat down on the single sofa on the side, and as soon as he sat down, his grandmother couldn't wait to ask, "When did you come back?" ”

"I'm back today. ”

"It's still a high-speed train. ”

"Airplanes turn to high-speed rail. ”

"Then why don't you call your brother and ask him to pick you up. ”

"It's just a little bit of a walk, just walk and come over. ”

"Are you taking a taxi or taking a bus, are there many people today?"

"For the Chinese New Year, how many people are there, it's quite few. ”

He Yuan and his grandmother asked and answered questions there.

However, grandma asked casually, and He Yuan answered casually.

He's used to it, old man, it's those things every time he goes back and forth. In addition to what to eat, what to wear, whether you are busy with work, and whether the food is good...... Although He Yuan answered exactly the same every time, grandma still went back and forth, asking repeatedly.

In the past, He Yuan was still a little impatient, and he felt that he was tired of answering these questions all the time. Now He Yuan is used to it, and he is patient and plays this game of questions and answers with his grandmother.

Grandma is over 90 years old, and although people can still walk and shop, her body is not as good as before. In addition, I fell at home and was sent to the hospital for a while, and now my body is not as good as before.

He Yuan obviously felt that his grandmother's memory was not as good as before, and his hearing was not good, and many times, He Yuan had to repeat the answer several times before his grandmother understood...... In fact, He Yuan doesn't know, whether grandma can hear clearly, the old man is better, even if he doesn't hear clearly, he will pretend to understand.

Thankfully, my grandmother didn't have Alzheimer's.

The old man from the second aunt's side had this disease, what did he look like...... Lying in a wheelchair all day long, unable to move, unable to speak, eating, going to the toilet, all have to be served by nannies.

Every time grandma watched each other, she had to secretly tell He Yuan that she didn't want to be like that in the future, she was too aggrieved. If she turned into that, she would rather ......

"By the way, grandma, uncle, I brought you something, you can take it back and eat it. He Yuan said as he brought the gifts at the door.

Several relatives were stunned, and Uncle He Yuan said: "Eh, you will come back when you come back, what gifts do you bring, there is still a shortage of food in this house." ”

"What Xiaoyuan brought back from Beijing must be a local specialty, bringing you gifts, and talking about the West. As soon as the uncle's words fell, the aunt on the side slapped him and said in his mouth.

"What's wrong with Beijing, we can't get used to eating things in Beijing......" Uncle said as his voice came down and muttered in his mouth.

Uncle is like this, He Yuan doesn't care.

"Some of the pastries I bought this time are not the roast duck last time, they are delicious. I bought a little and you can take it home and try it. He Yuan said as he began to divide things.

Everything is the same, just divide it directly by quantity, there is no such thing as who has more and who has less. After the aunt took the gift, she said: "Your uncle has diabetes and can't eat sweet things, so I'll keep these things at home and go back and eat the grapes." ”

He Yuan divided it and went to his aunt. When He Yuan called before, he knew that his father was still working outside and was not at home, and he would not come back until the early morning of the first day of the new year.

"Auntie, you can take these back and eat them at home. He Yuan handed a gift to his aunt, who was stunned for a moment, and quickly said "yes", and then gave it to He Yuan's younger brother casually, asking him to remember to take it back when he turned around.

He Yuan glanced at Xiaolong, he hadn't seen him for another year, and Xiaolong had grown taller.

When he came back last year, Xiaolong was already taller than He Yuan, he was still a junior high school student at the time, and now he is probably about to enter high school. Looking at his situation, he has to grow to at least 1.8 meters.

The problem of height has always been He Yuan's heart disease, obviously he was 1.7 meters when he was in junior high school, it stands to reason that the development of boys is relatively late, He Yuan can at least grow to 1.78 meters, about 1.8 meters.

I don't know if it's because I've been stuck at home, I don't exercise, or because I don't get too little sunlight, these reasons, in short, after junior high school, He Yuan hasn't grown up.

Although he is 1.72 meters tall, he is not tall or low in He Yuan's hometown, it is considered average. But if you put it in Beijing...... When He Yuan used to catch the subway, he was often squeezed around a group of strong men, and as soon as those strong men raised their arms, they pressed He Yuan under his armpits.

What does that taste like...... Tsk, He Yuan can look up to other people's squeaky nests.

I haven't seen him for a year, and Xiaolong has grown from the milky little guy to a great guy with a height of nearly 1.8 meters. Except that he is still thin and looks like a bamboo pole, the rest is that He Yuan feels that he is more silent.

A person hides in the corner, doesn't speak, just plays with his mobile phone there, and has no sense of existence.

After delivering the things, He Yuan didn't have anything to do, just sat on the sofa and listened to their chat. After listening to it for a while, He Yuan felt a little bored, and the elders basically chatted about some things in their hometown, such as "Who and whose daughter is doing, who is out of college, where to go to work", "Who and who, what and what things are bought at home, the effect feels good, and I will go to find someone to buy it in Ming'er", "Who is sick again, I heard what is the disease, and I ran to several hospitals", "Who died a while ago, and the family ......"

Except for a few names, most of the names He Yuan had never heard of.

He Yuan took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it was only past four o'clock, and it was still a while before five o'clock. I don't know when it will be to eat, He Yuan is thinking, after eating, whether to make another appointment with Tian Rui.

He had talked to Tian Rui before and asked Tian Rui if he wanted to go home with him, but after Tian Rui twisted and pinched for a long time, he was finally embarrassed to agree. Of course, a big reason is because she has to work overtime, and when the overtime is over, she can only rush back to her home, and it is a little inconvenient to run far here.

Besides, He Yuan's father didn't come back, and Tian Rui couldn't see his family at this point, so it was better to wait for He Yuan's father to come back, and then she would bring gifts and follow He Yuan to the door.

With things spinning in his mind, He Yuan suddenly felt that there seemed to be something missing in this room. He glanced around the living room and suddenly found that He Jing was not in the living room.

He Yuan has been a stuffy gourd since he was a child, and every time he has a chance at home, he sits aside, listens quietly, and doesn't speak. Compared with him, He Jing is much more cheerful, almost no matter what it is, he can interject, and his family is also very popular, and he thinks that people with high education speak differently.

Also, compared with He Yuan, the gold content of He Jing's education is much higher. He is the sixth place in the college entrance examination in Tibet, a high-achieving student who graduated from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, and the gap between the two is completely a top student and a scumbag.

Having said that, in fact, He Yuan's previous studies were not much different from He Jing. Even when I was studying, everyone in the family felt that there should be at least two high-achieving students in this family, one He Yuan, followed by He Jing.

However, since junior high school, He Jing has moved to Chengdu to go to school, and junior high school and high school are among the best schools in Chengdu. Even the second aunt bought a house in Chengdu and went to school with He Jing.

As for He Yuan, there were several incidents in a row in high school, and He Yuan was directly pitted to autism. Otherwise, with He Yuan's usual grades, he would not have gone to a junior college......

This is also the reason why He Yuan has always wanted to create a good living and learning environment for Tang Duoduo. It is precisely because of these experiences that He Yuan knows how much a good learning and living environment has on a child.

He Yuan got up and walked in the direction of He Jing's bedroom.

He'd lived here for a while before, so he's familiar with things here.

As soon as he entered He Jing's bedroom, He Yuan saw He Jing lying on the sofa, playing with his mobile phone there.

"Yo, why do you hide in the house alone and don't go out to play?" He Yuan said as he pushed open the window of He Jing's bedroom and went to the balcony.

"Ah, yes, charge your phone for a while. He Jing was startled, glanced up, and after finding that it was He Yuan, he continued to lower his head and swipe his phone.

"Why, send a message to your girlfriend. He Yuan stood on the balcony, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit one for himself.

Speaking of which, there are really not many smokers in He Yuan's family. Uncle used to smoke, but since he had diabetes and high blood pressure, he has quit these things.

Although I occasionally drink a little alcohol, but each time it is only a little light, and as for the smoke, it is not smoked at all.

In addition, only He Yuan's father, He Yuan's mother's son, and He Yuan's brother-in-law, the three of them smoked.

At this time, none of them came, and the living room was full of non-smoking people. He Yuan was not a smoker there, let them smoke their second-hand smoke, ran to the balcony by themselves, and swallowed the clouds and spitted fog.

"I don't have a girlfriend anywhere, but you're there, when to bring your girlfriend back, grandma can't wait. He Jing retorted.

"I'm not in a hurry, by the way, how are you doing in Beijing now. He Yuandao.

"Well, that's it. He Jing said, threw his phone aside, and took a pillow and held it in his arms.

"What's wrong, it's not going well?" He Yuan looked at his listless appearance, and guessed that something was probably wrong.

"No, that's it. By the way, how are you doing there? He Jing changed the topic and threw it back to He Yuan.

This time, it was He Yuan's turn to say the same thing.

"We're still like that. He Yuan smiled and said, "Now that the economy is in a recession, it's not easy to do anything." By the way, I looked at the circle of friends before, didn't you come back a long time ago. Why, after playing in Chengdu for so long, I went to accompany my girlfriend?"

"What kind of girlfriend do you have, where do I have a girlfriend? He Jing shook his head, "I also just came back, and I just arrived yesterday." ”

"Yesterday, I saw you on Moments half a month ago, saying that you were back in Chengdu. ”

"Eh, I'm on vacation, and I was called back by the company after half of the break, and I hurried back after dealing with things, and the ticket was not reimbursed, and I lost a lot of money. He Jing said.

"Then your company is quite good, and you can take such a long break. I remember that your last company also started to release it a month in advance, which is great. He Yuan said enviously.

"What's the use of taking too many vacations, and you can't make money. I don't want to take a vacation right now, I just want to earn money. He Jing sighed.

"What's the matter, such a sad face. He Yuan asked.

"It's nothing, I just feel more stressed. He Jing shook his head and said.

"What can you stress, the work is not very busy, and the career is relatively stable. With this in mind, you might as well think about when to find a girlfriend, your parents should be in a hurry. He Yuan smiled and said.

"What's the urgency of them, besides, I'm in this situation now, where to find a girlfriend. Housing prices in Beijing are so expensive, I can't afford to buy a house because I'm tired, so I might as well think about what opportunities I have to go back to Chengdu for development. He Jing said.

"Do you want to go back to Chengdu?" He Yuan asked.

"I have such an idea, mainly because the housing prices in Beijing are too high and the pressure is high. He Jing said.

"It's not bad to go back to Chengdu, don't you have a house in Chengdu? ”

"The suite...... I haven't seen it yet, and besides, if I want to go back to Chengdu, I should buy a new house. ”

"It's okay to buy a new house, but if you buy a house in Chengdu now, you have to be eligible, even if you have a degree to settle down, you have to pay social security for one year. He Yuan recalled the conditions of the "Chengdu Housing Purchase Qualification" that he had seen before.

At that time, He Yuan, like He Jing, also felt that there was no hope of buying a house in Beijing and wanted to go back to Chengdu to buy a house. As a result, he happened to encounter the "315 purchase limit", and He Yuan suddenly lost the qualification to buy a house.

If you are not qualified, forget it, in just a few months, Chengdu's housing prices have soared. The Wuhou District he saw before, Jinlin Junjing, a semi-new house around 09-10 years, is an elevator room, and it is also close to the subway entrance, as long as about 10,000 before the purchase limit, He Yuan asked the intermediary, and the intermediary said that if you talk about it a little, you should be able to win about 9,000.

Eighty flat, the average price is 10,000, that is, 800,000, according to the down payment of 30%, that is, about 240,000. At that time, He Yuan had exactly 200,000 yuan in his hands, and he borrowed a little money from a friend for emergency use, and he was basically able to buy a small three-bedroom apartment.

And that house is just near Pengpeng's house, and there are only three or four traffic lights when you walk, He Yuan They used to rent a house in Chengdu, they were around here, and they were very familiar with this area.

As a result, after the purchase restriction, the housing price in Jinlin skyrocketed, from about 11,000 to more than 20,000, approaching 30,000. A few days ago, He Yuan took a second look, and it had dropped from 30,000 at the peak to 178,000, more than 20,000, but the down payment still tripled, and it was not what He Yuan could afford at that time.

"Housing prices in Chengdu are also expensive, and the point is, if I go back to Chengdu, I don't know what to do. He Jing's eyes showed a sense of confusion.

Hearing He Jing's words, He Yuan fell silent, to be honest, his original mood was exactly the same as He Jing's, but his situation was even worse than He Jing's.

He Jing at least has an education, and He Yuan, his work experience is only useful in the circle in Beijing, followed by Hangzhou and Chengdu, there are not many companies involved in He Yuan's business at all. If you change careers, your salary will inevitably fall, and it will drop a lot.

He Yuan smoked a cigarette and thought there: "Or, you can go to the high-tech zone to have a look." There are more code farmers over there, and the salary will not be less, anyway, you have academic qualifications and work experience, so it shouldn't be much worse to go there. ”

"The housing prices in the high-tech zone are not low, and besides, I am in operation, not technology. If you do technology, it is estimated that the salary is still high, but ...... you are doing operations" He Jing shook his head.

As soon as he heard this, He Yuan smiled: "When you were asked to be a programmer, you didn't do it, and you went to do some operations." Obviously I have the technology in my hand, but I want to do an industry with a low threshold, and now I know that I have a headache. ”

"It's different, the technology is updated relatively quickly, I don't write code for a few years, I forget everything, I can't write code for a lifetime, right?" He Jing said.

"No matter how fast you can go, besides, the salary of a programmer should be higher than that of your new operation. If you are a programmer, your income will be at least two or three times more than you are now, and if you go back to Chengdu, you will not be unable to find a suitable position. He Yuandao.

When He Jing heard this, he just shook his head and didn't speak.

He Yuan looked at He Jing's appearance and sighed, he didn't understand, obviously he had such a good card in his hand, how could he play the level of four two with two kings, if He Yuan had his education and his connections......

Forget it, if it's not your own, don't think about it so much.

"Then what are you going to do, continue to work in Beijing, or find a way to come back?" He Yuan asked.

"I don't know, the current economic environment is not good, I can only do it there first......" He Jing said.

He Yuan remembers that the last time he had dinner with He Jing, He Jing said that he had jumped to a company owned by his senior brother to do online education. Listening to what he meant, his senior brother should be quite rich, and he should be quite successful in what he does.

However, He Yuan didn't talk in detail, the company he stayed in before had also formed some networks, and he naturally knew how terrible the connections were for people like them who came out of key universities.

Not to mention anything else, like Ali's group of people came out, that interpersonal relationship ......

Basically, many of the companies that everyone has heard of now are supported by people from the Ali family. But anyone who knows a little bit about things will basically have a steady stream of financing since they started their own business after they came out.

Ali's people have a lot of kindness towards their colleagues from within their own family.

And He Jing, a key university like them, has even more terrible connections, and the relationship between classmates is much more reliable than the same thing. As long as He Jing puts down a little bit of face and runs more about the relationships in the school, he will have someone to help him in whatever he wants. Not to mention, people still have academic qualifications, even if they go to work, the salary is higher than He Yuan, and it is not He Yuan's turn to worry about him.

It can only be said that everyone has their own ideas, like He Jing, now the main thing is that he doesn't know what he wants to do and what he can do. He is different from He Yuan, he has never been to a start-up company, and as soon as he came out, he was smooth sailing, and he also did some management work, and he lacked understanding of basic business.

He Yuan is awesome, the first job started from miscellaneous, basically every business link knows, every form has been done, every data is understood, and various departments are connected, and each department knows what each department does. Even, in addition to cleaning staff and finance, He Yuan has made guest appearances in all positions in the company.

From content, to products, to operations, to business, to administration, to human resources......

There's nothing he hasn't done yet.

You have to put He Yuan in charge of a company, and he can quickly set up the framework with his work experience, quickly develop the business, and complete the prototype of a start-up company. However, if you go up further, it is to ask for resources to speak.

This point is He Yuan's shortcoming and He Yuan's bottleneck.

And He Jing is just the opposite, he has resources, but he lacks the most basic things.
