"If that's the case, then I can try. ”

After a moment's thought, the man hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"You should know, though, I don't usually do this kind of thing......"

Before He Yuan could breathe a sigh of relief, the man smoked a cigarette and took another sip.

"Uncle. The senior sister on the side suddenly spoke.

The man's hand smacked on his cigarette, and the ash from the cigarette fell right on his pants.

He hurriedly waved his hand and patted it, but another piece of cigarette ash also fell, so he had to put the cigarette butt on the ashtray first, get up and sweep the cigarette ash on his pants, and the cigarette ash fell to the ground and was all over the ground.

"Little Jade ......"

The man stood there, embarrassed, and didn't know where to put his hands.

The senior sister sighed, got up from the sofa, and said to him, "Don't move." ”

Then she took a tissue from the table, wiped all the cigarette ash off the floor, wrapped a paper ball, and threw it in the trash.

After doing this, the senior sister said: "Xiaoyuan is my friend, if this matter is not troublesome, then you can help him." ”

"Xiao Yu ......" He had a bitter face, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

He Yuan took out a red envelope from his arms at the right time, handed it over, and said: "I understand the rules, what expenses are there in the middle, go back and talk to me together." ”

The man glanced at He Yuan, then at Senior Sister, and seeing Senior Sister's sighing appearance, he gritted his teeth, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee that I will succeed." ”

"I understand this, let's coordinate it first, and if it doesn't work, I'll figure it out later. He Yuan still stuffed the red envelope, but the man couldn't refuse, took the red envelope, and turned his eyes to the senior sister.

"Since Xiaoyuan wants to give, then you can take it. Senior sister said.

The man's spirit was shocked, and he said, "How can I do it, this is your friend, not an outsider", but he put the red envelope in his hand, and his fingers padded, and his eyes lit up.

When He Yuan came before, he went to the bank to withdraw cash, and originally wanted to buy a red envelope to stuff it, but the red envelope was not big enough, so he had to buy a brown paper envelope to stuff it in.

After getting the envelope, the man didn't stay here for a long time, he habitually wanted to go to the table to get water, but found that there was only his own cup on the table, so he could only withdraw his hand in embarrassment, and touched his nose nailly: "It's not early today, I'll go back first." Send me the other party's message when you go back, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. ”

He Yuan asked the man's phone number, the man reported the number, He Yuan checked it with WeChat, and found that the other party also had WeChat, so he simply added a WeChat friend and told the man to turn around and > the information When he had done everything, the man walked to the door, took off his shoe covers, and prepared to leave.

When he was about to go out, the senior sister who saw him off suddenly said, "Uncle, if you are okay this year, let's go home together for the New Year." ”

The man who was really about to leave suddenly shook his body and was stunned.

After a while, he came back to his senses, and his voice trembled a little: "Okay, I'll go back this year, and I will definitely go back." ”

He replied tremblingly, and through the air, He Yuan could feel the tremor of his voice.

It wasn't until after he left that He Yuan spoke: "What happened to him just now?"

"Nothing. The senior sister replied lightly, and as soon as the words came out, she seemed to feel a little too brief, so she sighed and explained a little: "My family ...... Because of that incident, I didn't like my uncle very much, my grandfather said that if he touched those things again, he would break his leg and cut off the father-son relationship, and my uncle was also young and vigorous at that time, and I was angry with my grandfather, and he didn't go home for more than ten years. ”

"For more than ten years, have you never been in touch in the meantime?" He Yuan asked.

"My grandfather has a very hard temper, and because he is not in good health, the family is afraid that he will be angry, so they don't dare to contact him. But occasionally he runs out of money, and the family will hide from his grandfather and secretly support a little, but you also know that getting into that kind of thing is basically a bottomless pit, so gradually, everyone comes and goes less and less. ”

"I don't look at him like he's bad. He Yuan hesitated for a moment and said his opinion.

To be honest, although the man looked a little thin, he wasn't very thin.

The spirit looks normal, and the tone of speech is also slow and methodical, and even a little bit honest, not like the kind of person who is brave and ruthless in his impression.

"After all, I'm old, I've been divorced in the middle, I have a daughter, I followed my ex-wife, and now this one has a son. People in their forties and fifties don't have much income, so they can earn a little a month by giving sports cars to others. Now the child is still young, if you wait for the child to be older in the future, the cost will ......," the senior sister said, shaking her head.

"It's not easy to be a single father. He Yuan was silent for a while and sighed.

"Don't talk about this, by the way, is it so simple for you to ask for that matter?"

"That's enough, I'm just going to find someone to talk to, and it's better to find someone to knock them on. You know, even if I want to give them those things, they will blackmail me in turn......" He Yuan smiled and said.

"Understood. Senior Sister nodded, with a bitter smile on her face, "It's the same as me." ”

He Yuan remembered that the ex-husband of the senior sister was also a white-eyed wolf, and it is estimated that he had blackmailed her before.

Thinking of that, He Yuan also sighed, these days, really any kind of scum can be encountered.

"By the way, do you have time today, just have a meal together. He Yuan shook his head and threw these messy things out of his mind.

We are born to suffer.

The so-called life, life, is to be born and live.

"Oh, how did you come up with the idea of inviting me to dinner. Senior Sister turned her eyes sideways and glanced at He Yuan.

"Isn't this coming up for the New Year, let's get together and thank my sister for taking care of me this year. He Yuan said.

His words came from the bottom of his heart.

To be honest, when he was decorating before, He Yuan was ready to be slaughtered. This kind of thing is unavoidable, the only difference is that there is more slaughter and less slaughter. I didn't expect my sister to be so sincere, she really only charged a cost price, otherwise she would never be able to get the price with the decoration area.

After adopting the little guy and Tang Duoduo, the senior sister also made a lot of efforts.

To be honest, she can ignore He Yuan, after all......

The senior sister thought for a while, and then said, "Okay, I'll call her mother-in-law, and I'll have dinner at her house tonight." ”

As she spoke, she took out her phone, flipped out the number and made a call.

He Yuan looked at it, yes, he should also arrange it for Tang Duoduo.

But when he took out his mobile phone, He Yuan was a little hesitant, he suddenly felt that he was a little uneasy to let Tang Duoduo eat at home alone, what if those people came to the door and he was not at home?

After thinking about it, He Yuan sent a message to Tang Duoduo and asked her if she wanted to eat out at night.

Tang Duoduo didn't reply, he should still be in class.

Although Tang Duoduo will listen carefully to the class, it seems to be a joke, but now Tang Duoduo is indeed different from before.

In the past, Tang Duoduo was very disgusted with learning, and even more disgusted with school, as soon as he heard something related to school, he immediately had a stinky little face, and he was reluctant to write some homework, and after writing a few strokes, he had to go to drink water or go to the toilet.

Sit for an hour, write for ten minutes, and spend the other fifty minutes doing all sorts of moths.

However, now, she comes back to cook every day after school, and after eating, she starts to clean up the table, and if there is nothing to tidy up, she goes upstairs, locks herself in her room to write homework, and starts doing extracurricular exercises after finishing her homework.

He Yuan saw her carrying large bags of plastic bags a few times, all of which were tutoring materials bought from the bookstore, a bit like the kind of "Five-Year Mock Three-Year College Entrance Examination" and "Huanggang Secret Volume" that He Yuan did before, which were very thick.

He Yuan even often saw her wearing headphones and muttering to herself there, at first He Yuan thought she was listening to some pop music, until one time when she got closer, He Yuan heard that she was reading English words there.

Tang Duoduo hasn't replied to the message here, and the senior sister over there has already finished calling.

After she put away the phone, she said to He Yuan: "When are you going to go, now, or in a while?"

He Yuan looked at his phone, it was almost time for dinner, if he went to eat with his senior sister now, after eating, Tang Duoduo would almost be out of school.

Otherwise, he would just go over with his senior sister first, and bring some food in the restaurant, take it home and give it to Tang Duoduo for dinner.

"Go now. He Yuandao.

"That's it, let's go. The senior sister also said neatly, and began to look for a coat as she spoke.

After the senior sister was dressed neatly, the two went downstairs together.

He Yuan's car was downstairs, and the two of them got into his car, He Yuan's driver.

"By the way, what do you want to eat?"

In the car, He Yuan asked casually while fastening his seat belt.

During the time I returned to my hometown, I had eaten everything I should have eaten, and for a while, He Yuan couldn't think of anything to eat.

I don't want to be in Beijing, I have to think about what to eat in the morning, what to eat at noon, and what to eat at night every day. I don't know, so just flip through the takeout and see what's going on.

Obviously, the senior sister didn't know what to eat, because she replied: "Whatever." ”

"You know, your words make me think of something. He Yuandao.

"What's the matter?" Senior Sister leaned sideways and changed into a comfortable position.

"When we used to go to work, we often didn't know what to eat, and when it was time to order food, we would ask each other about it. If the other party has a goal, let's see if we like to eat it, and if we like it, we will make an order. The biggest headache is that everyone doesn't know what to eat, and a group of people are anxious there, oops, what do we eat, and in the end we can't choose, either choose one at random, or go to make instant noodles. He Yuan replied while driving.

"You can go downstairs and have a look. Senior sister said.

"There are not restaurants everywhere, and there are few restaurants in the vicinity of several places where I worked at the time, either very few or very unpalatable. At that time, I was thinking, if I don't open a Chinese restaurant, the name of the store is casual, I make a list, and I do it randomly every day, basically I can eat whatever I want, I don't have to choose. When people talk about casual, they will think of my restaurant, so how good is this business. When He Yuan said this, he laughed first.

Senior Sister tilted her head and thought about it, and after a while, she said, "That seems to be good." ”

"But the restaurant is too tired, and it's okay to do it occasionally, but if it's a job, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist. After all, my cooking skills are okay, but my knife skills are too poor to buy a dish, so I have to let the people in the supermarket cut it, and people must not be annoyed by me. He Yuan shook his head.

"You can cook, but you can't cook, and you're a wonder too. Senior Sister shook her head.

"Since we don't know what to eat, let's go eat duck in sour soup. When passing by a street corner, He Yuan said suddenly.

He was driving the car just now, walking all the way, looking all the way, and accidentally saw a shop where ducks were bought, and suddenly thought of such a thing.

Recently, after eating too many greasy things, I feel a little sick to my stomach, just right, eating a sour soup duck can warm my stomach, and I can also go to the oil and gas.

Of course, the senior sister was noncommittal.

So He Yuan turned the car, found a place to stop, and after getting out of the car, he walked to the store with his senior sister.

He Yuanxuan's shop, he had come to eat before, and he had the impression that it had existed a long time ago, and it had been open for at least 20 years. Although it was only close to dinner time, there were already many customers here, and the clerk was so busy that they didn't have time to greet the guests when they came.

"Two, please sit down first, and I'll come over at once. ”

It was still a clerk holding the bottom of the pot, and when he passed by He Yuan's side, he found the two of them.

While saying hello to He Yuan, she put the bottom of the hot pot in front of a table of guests, then shook her hand, ran to He Yuan, and took out paper and pen from her apron: "What do you two want?"

"Is there a menu?" He Yuan asked casually, to be honest, except for the kind of stores that he often goes to, most of the restaurants, He Yuan doesn't know what to eat, he has to look at the menu first.

"Yes, yes, yes. The clerk looked around, found the menu on another table, and handed it to He Yuan.

He Yuan took a look at it and said to the clerk: "Let's have a medium portion of sour soup duck and a few cold dishes." ”

He ordered several cold dishes, but the clerk said, "It's enough, two people are almost, and then it's not enough to order again." He Yuan looked at it for a while, and it felt that it should be about the same, so he put down the list.

The clerk quickly wrote it down, then hurried away with the list.

After she left, He Yuan took out a tissue, wiped the table, looked around, and said with emotion: "The business here is still so good." ”

"It's been open for decades, and there are a lot of repeat customers. The senior sister finished wiping the table and threw the paper towel into the trash can under the table.

"Now that all walks of life are in a recession, my friend sent me a piece of news before, just between January 8 and January 13 this year, in six days, there were as many as 16,410 pieces of news about the closure on the Internet, you can imagine how difficult it was for businesses to survive in the past 2018. He Yuan shook his head.

He didn't really want to pay attention to these things, but he couldn't stop everyone from posting them all the time.

In addition, the people around him have been talking about this recently, He Yuan couldn't help but click on it and take a look.

Well, the situation is tragic.

"Yes, it's not easy to do anything now, the prices are high, the wages are good, and it's hard to do business. Senior sister also shook her head, she did this line of work, and she felt these things the deepest. When housing prices skyrocketed before, she also made a little money, but now as soon as the market cools, they are sitting on wax.

After all, now there is little business, and prices are ruthless, but dealers and employees will not tell you this, especially prices and wages, once they rise, it will be difficult to fall, and the state will not allow you to fall, otherwise the financial data will be ugly.

Just like the company makes a year-end summary every year, in fact, most of the departments are useless, just to look good, and even operate at a loss, but people will still find all kinds of data to prove that they are doing a good job.

Otherwise, how can we show the value of our department's existence, and how can we brag to others, saying that our prospects are very good and the future is promising.

Doing a company now is different from doing a company before.

In the past, the purpose of doing a company was to make money from customers, so we paid attention to an efficiency and an elite, and the smaller the team, the more sophisticated, and the better it was to do things.

But now it's different, to earn customers' money, where is the money from the capital lender to come quickly. Therefore, everyone has to do the scale, whether it is useful or not, I also have the departments that others have, otherwise the management side will look back and the capital will think that your scale is too small, unreliable, and you can't do it, and no matter how good the performance is, it is useless.

Therefore, in recent years, although more and more companies have been established, there are fewer and fewer companies that can make money. Most of the companies that were speculated by capital were short-lived and disappeared quickly. Especially the so-called sharing economy chain in the past two years, as well as blockchain currency.

Correspondingly, characters like Ma Yun and Ma Huateng are also difficult to appear.

After all, you can't settle down and do business well, and think of ways to make capital money every day. Even if the boss can keep his heart, his subordinates can't stand it. After all, honestly work hard, rely on performance, and others do not look at ability, only look at qualifications, jump ship directly from three times, enter the company can be a leader, lead a team, and enjoy equity - the vast majority of people will choose the latter.

He Yuan also faced this temptation back then, to be honest, it was too exciting.

But he was stupid, he felt that he was not capable, even if he passed, he couldn't bear the responsibility, and he felt that he couldn't stay long, so He Yuan didn't dare to jump.

He just buried his head and worked diligently in business, thinking that one day, he would be able to gain a firm foothold in a company and rely on his business - but he didn't get the money, and the company didn't stay for long.

On the other hand, those who jumped ship, although they did not stay for long, a long year, a short few months, but they got the money, the qualifications also earned, and now they have bought houses in first-tier cities, small BMWs, small Mercedes-Benz have also opened, and the conversations are all about various companies, CEOs of various enterprises, not to mention how moisturizing the days are.

Although He Yuan felt in his heart that he had not made a wrong choice and his ability had been greatly improved, in the eyes of outsiders, He Yuan was a person who had failed both in life and career.

After being talked about too much by those people, He Yuan also began to doubt himself, feeling that he had made the wrong choice, and whether he should be like others and take care of his immediate interests first. After all, anything can happen in the future, and only when you get what you have in your hands is it real.

Thinking of this, He Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong?" Senior Sister looked at He Yuan frowning and asked.

"Nothing. He Yuan shook his head and took a deep breath, "I'm just thinking, it's better to live before." Like my dad, they have been doing the same thing for decades, they just need to immerse themselves in their abilities and qualifications, and when the time comes, they will naturally go up, and they don't need to think about other things. Like now, everyone has more choices, and things have become more complicated, and there will always be all kinds of situations, all kinds of accidents, and sometimes I feel quite tired. ”

"Can you bear to do the same work for decades?" said the senior sister.

If it was He Yuan before, he would definitely nod his head vigorously and say "I will".

Because at that time, he was really, by all kinds of accidents, all kinds of mistakes, annoyed that he couldn't eat or sleep. He dreamed of having a stable environment where he could calm down and do one thing well.

However, after returning to his hometown for so many days, He Yuan realized that the impact of the environment on people is actually quite big. People like him, staying in a relaxed environment, are destined not to grow.

It's like he used to think that if he had money and time, he would definitely do a lot of things. As a result, now he really has this opportunity, but he just stays at home and is a salted fish that eats and waits for death.

So He Yuan was silent.

The senior sister called the waiter who was passing by and asked for a pot of hot water.

She poured hot water into the cup, and while scalding the cup, she said to He Yuan: "My previous life was like this, staying in the same place every day, facing the same people, chatting about the same topics, and doing the same things. At what age should you fall in love, at what age should you get married, buy a house, have children, raise children to adulthood, and then what? When the child is older, you have to take care of her to go to school, and when she grows up, you have to think about letting her start a family, buy her a car and a house, and then wait for her children to come out, and then take care of her children...... Really, I could see the future at that time, and sometimes I really felt hopeless, and those days were not the life I wanted. ”

He Yuan listened silently.

Wasn't that the case before?

Nowadays, people always want to go back to the past and regain their youth, as if they will be able to live a better life when they go back to school.

You have to ask those juniors to keep them in their junior year and enjoy their youth - they expect to slap you to death.

Only after experiencing it can people know what they really want.

But in fact, what they often want is what they can't get, and once they get it, they immediately abandon it.

It's like, if the heroine is quickly determined in the first dozens of chapters in an urban text, most people will abandon the book. Because they feel that they already know the results and don't need to look any further.

It's like in a TV series, you always only shoot before marriage, and rarely see a story after marriage.

What you can't get is the best.

If you get it, you don't need it.

Thinking of this, He Yuan suddenly took a deep breath: "By the way, I have an idea. ”
