He Yuan once thought that the things that two people have are just opposite, so can they complement each other and do something together.

When he called his father before, He Yuan had mentioned this idea, but his father was silent for a while, and he asked him to dispel this idea.

In addition to He Yuan's family, their temperament is relatively calm, but also because more than 20 years ago, He Yuan's uncle partnered with others to do business and was deceived of hundreds of thousands.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars in nine years, that's an astronomical amount, uncle, he couldn't bear the pressure, left a mess, and ran away.

After the second uncle learned about this, he called overnight and asked the second aunt to go to the bank to withdraw their deposits, and borrowed a little bit to fill in the hole, so that the other party did not pursue the uncle's criminal responsibility.

In the following ten years, He Yuan and his family basically did no business, and even if they did, they all did it themselves, and never partnered with others. When he was in middle school, He Yuan's father tried to do a medicinal diet business with others, but after he was cheated again, no one in their family partnered with outsiders to do business.

Later, He Yuan thought about it, in fact, in the final analysis, it was still the people of their family, and they were too honest. Honest people are not very suitable for doing business, especially if you partner with others to do business, you want to do business with others, but others want to pit your principal...... People like them should be honest craftsmen, and winning the lottery and getting rich overnight are not suitable for them.

He Yuan was smoking on the balcony, smoking, and then he got the butt of a cigarette.

Extinguishing the cigarette butt in the ashtray, He Yuan looked around, but didn't find the trash can, so he put the cigarette butt in his hand and said to He Jing: "Okay, you can think about the rest yourself." But don't put too much pressure on yourself, there are more rich, background, and powerful people in this world, don't keep comparing yourself with them. ”

He Yuan made this mistake himself.

Especially when I first entered the workplace, I felt very pressured when I saw that the people around me were better than me.

I always think, eh, why are people so powerful, why am I so weak, I'm such garbage, am I going to be eliminated by society, if I lose this job, what will I do in the future......

In short, during that time, He Yuan had been mired in deep doubts about himself.

Of course, it is not without benefits, under that kind of high pressure, He Yuan's work ability and logical thinking ability have risen geometrically. After staying in the workplace for two or three years, He Yuan feels that his life is more meaningful than his past 20 years.

The disadvantage is that because he is always doubting himself, He Yuan has anxiety disorders, his body is very weak, he always has a low-grade fever, a cold, and he gets sick at every turn. And always fall into panic, even when sleeping, the mind is also thinking about work, the quality of sleep is very poor, and the person is as thin as if he has smoked powder.

After chatting with He Jing, He Yuan took the cigarette butt and returned to the living room.

Throwing the cigarette butt into the trash, He Yuan took out his mobile phone and began to brush it.

After brushing for about ten minutes, He Jing came out of the bedroom and joined in everyone's chat.

Compared with He Jing, He Yuan is too silent, he is quite accustomed to his position, and being quiet is not a bad thing for him.

"Eh, why hasn't the eldest sister come over yet, it's almost five o'clock, and it's about to start. The second uncle came out of the kitchen, looked at the time, and spoke.

"I just called, asked them, and said they were still at home. Auntie said.

"Still at home? Their family, really, has to make the whole family wait for them every time. ”

"It's not that my uncle is sick, he has the flu, and he is still in the hospital, he can't come today, he has a little baby, and he is afraid of infecting them. ”

"He's really, he's not feeling well, so let's go and take a look. He was good, he held on until it was almost the New Year, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran to see it, and he got the flu. During the Chinese New Year, when others went home, he ran to the hospital, and he was also able to serve him. By the way, Xiao Yong, what about them. ”

"Grape was sleeping and had just called him and asked him to wake him up. Wait a minute, they'll be over in a moment. By the way, that ......"

During the conversation, everyone else in the family also got up from the couch, serving the bowl and setting the table.

The area of the second uncle's house is not large, and more than a dozen people act together, and it is difficult to move even a walk. In particular, the kitchen was very small, and only three or four people could stand in it at the same time, and if someone brought something bigger, everyone would be blocked.

However, the necessary sense of ritual still has to be there, no, He Yuan went in to help serve a dish, and then was blocked at the door, waiting left and right was boring, He Yuan took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, to see if anyone sent him a message.

"You, what are you doing standing here, it's time to eat, why don't you help make the table. Grandma walked towards the kitchen on crutches, and when she saw He Yuan who was swiping her mobile phone, she was reprimanded.

"End of the end, there are not too many people, didn't you squeeze in? He Yuan said helplessly.

"You, don't swipe your phone all day long, it's not good for glasses. You wear glasses now, if you are blind and can't see things in the future, then you will know that it will be too late to regret it, look at your uncle......" Grandma chattered there and taught He Yuan.

It just so happened that someone came out with a basin from inside, He Yuan hurriedly took a look, slipped in through the gap next to him, picked up the dishes and chopsticks on the stove and hurried out.

"Come on, come on, let it go, put it on the pot, be careful of scalding. The second trial was about to come out of the kitchen with a hot cauldron.

The people around them scattered all at once, and the second judge put the pot on the induction stove on the dining table, turned around, and said, "What, haven't they come yet?"

"Just called, and they're still on their way. The second uncle said on the side.

"What about the eldest sister and their family?" the second aunt asked again.

"She went to cook for her uncle, her good son is still on the way, it must be his wife playing mahjong, so tight that she doesn't leave, I don't know how long it will take. Her daughter was waiting for Brother Ou over there, saying that Brother Ou hadn't gotten off work yet, and she would come over together when he got off work. ”

"The European army doesn't know how long it will take to work overtime, so why can't they afford to wait. ”

"So let's set up two tables, first set one table to eat, and then turn back to the ones who came late and set up another table. ”

"It's the New Year, and I don't know how to come early for dinner, so I'm going to come and eat dishwashing water...... Forget it, you can eat first, and I'll wait for them to eat together later. ”

In the midst of the noise, a room of people began to take turns in their seats. He Yuan helped his grandmother first and sat in the dining room, originally wanted to change his position and sit outside, but he was pressed down by the second uncle: "What to go, you will sit next to your grandma." Your grandmother, I want to kill your grandson, why don't you talk with your grandmother. ”

"I think he's something, yes, talking nonsense all day long. Grandma said helplessly.

"Yes, yes, we all know that you like your grandson the most, what can we say. The second uncle laughed.

"You guys, I like each one, and I like him just like him. ”

"Yes, yes, let your grandson sit next to you and eat with you. The second uncle said, patting He Yuan on the shoulder, "You sit here and take care of your grandmother." ”

While talking, several women in the family were there with bowls and dipping sauce. It wasn't until this time that He Yuan found out that they were eating mutton hot pot tonight.

No wonder he wondered just now why the chefs in the family didn't come over to help, and only the second uncle and aunt were busy in the kitchen...... The main reason is that the second aunt is busy working, and the second uncle just doesn't help when he goes in.

It's very simple to make the dipping sauce, just chopped green peppers, with tofu, plus some green onions, and coriander. After finishing it, the aunt suddenly said: "I suffered, I forgot to put salt, will it be lighter." ”

"Eat first, eat first, there is tofu, if it is not enough, then go back and add salt. As he spoke, the second uncle crushed the tofu in the bowl, then poured a spoonful of hot soup from the pot and poured it on his bowl.

"Mom, I'll help you. "The aunt sat on the other side of the grandmother, picked up the grandmother's bowl, and was about to help her serve the soup.

"No, I don't. Grandma waved her hand again and again.

"It's mutton, not beef, you should be able to eat it. ”

"I can eat it, but I don't really want to eat it. Grandma hesitated.

My grandmother used to be able to eat anything, but since she became a Buddhist, she has strictly followed the precepts. Basically, I don't eat much meat other than pork.

She used to eat fish, but in the past few years, she is older and her tongue is not very sensitive. Especially in the first two years, when eating fish, I accidentally stuck the fish bone in my throat, and I couldn't take it out and swallow it.

The old man had a good face, and he was embarrassed to tell his family that a person took vinegar and poured it there, and poured half a bottle without effect. In the end, the family found out that something was wrong, and when they heard that she was stuck by the fish bone, they sent her to the hospital in a hurry, and finally the doctor tinkered for a long time before picking the fish bone out of the throat.

After that incident, the family learned something, and they no longer dared to get fish for their grandmother to eat. Grandma herself was frightened, there was not much meat that could have been eaten, and now that the fish has been removed from the menu, there are really not many things to choose from.

"Don't eat meat, let's drink some soup. The second uncle said casually while playing with his dipping sauce.

"Don't drink it, don't drink it, there's a smell in it. Grandma still shook her head.

"It's all been dealt with, where is the taste, when I didn't tell you before, you weren't very happy to eat. The second uncle shook his head again and again, but seeing that his grandmother still didn't eat, he didn't say anything.

Fortunately, in order to take care of grandma, the family still fried a few side dishes. There are hot dishes, sometimes vegetables, and the elderly have a bad appetite, so this order is enough for her to eat.

During the meal, grandma asked He Yuan on the side: "Xiaoyuan, where are you coming back to live now, do you still live with your father?"

He Yuan used to go home and basically lived on his father's side.

In the past, He Yuan's family also lived in the city, and it was the house that the second uncle sold to their family. However, when He Yuan graduated from high school, He Yuan's aunt divided a piece of land in the countryside, and He Yuan's father borrowed some money and built a house on the ground.

"Mom, he doesn't go to live there, where is he going. Or, Xiaoyuan, you will sleep with me tonight, this house is not without a room, if you go back, you have to walk so far, it is very inconvenient. The second uncle said, "Besides, your grandmother misses you so much, you don't spend more time with your grandmother." ”

He Yuan is used to it, basically every time he comes back, the second uncle will invite him to stay at home. Not only the second uncle, but also the eldest uncle and the eldest mother...... In their words, the most important thing in this house is the place to sleep.

"Ah, no need, I asked someone to help renovate the old mansion before, and I'll go and live directly when I go back. He Yuandao.

"What? you renovated that dilapidated house?" asked Grandma.

"Well, I saw that the house was a bit old, so I asked someone to help me get it. ”

"Oh, what are you doing renovating such a house? Who did you ask to get it for you, and how much did it cost?" Grandma patted her thigh and couldn't help but complain.

"I happened to know a friend who was in the renovation business, so I asked her to help me get it, and it didn't cost much. "He Yuan concealed it a little here.

He didn't dare to report the real figures, just like what his senior sister said at the beginning, according to the price of He Yuan's refurbishment, he could buy a new set in the county. Like the high-rise elevator room along the river, the new house, which has just come out for less than two years, is now only about 340,000 yuan.

"I said a long time ago, what are you buying that shabby house for? If you want it, you can give it to you directly, and there is no one to live in anyway, so you have to give 200,000 yuan...... If you have that 200,000, we will make up a little more for you, and how good it would be for you to buy a set directly in the county town. Grandma couldn't help but say.

He Yuan smiled and didn't continue to dwell on this topic.

At the beginning, he thought very simply, that is, he wanted to have a house of his own.

When He Yuan came back, the housing prices in the county had not fallen, and with more than 200,000 yuan in cash, he could only buy some relatively old small flats. In addition, I signed a contract, ran the procedures, and went down in one trip, and I don't know how much work it would take.

He Yuan didn't know how long he could live at that time, in case he suddenly fell ill one day, and the formalities of the house hadn't been run down, wouldn't that be a joke.

Besides, before people die, they think more openly, He Yuan wants a house, there are no requirements for the area and location of the house, who is not giving this money, why can't he give it to his family.

"Mom, what you said, we didn't take the money, don't you save it, when you go back to Xiaoyuan and get married, will you give him a red envelope again. The second uncle said, then he turned his head and said to He Yuan, "Xiaoyuan, you are not too young, it's time to think about getting married." You can earn money at any time, and you have to take good care of your body. I read your circle of friends before, and I sent several messages, basically working overtime and staying up late. You see, your arms and legs are a lot worse than before, and you should lose weight. ”

"Don't say it, it seems to be a lot fatter than before, but people call it overwork, and they sit in the office. You think it's the same as us, running outside all day and night, and you don't have two taels of meat on you. Young people nowadays, learn to exercise, don't wait until you are old, just like us, you are sick all over your body. The uncle scooped up his clothes on the side, asked the aunt to prick a needle in his stomach, and said to He Yuan.

Since the uncle went to Yunnan, he has been there for a few years, or more than ten years, and he has become ill.

I have eye problems, I can't see things clearly, I have high blood pressure, I can't walk fast, I have diabetes, I have to go to the hospital for dialysis every three days, and I have to prick a needle in my stomach before every meal, as a patient with a phobia of injections, He Yuan can't help but feel a tingle in the scalp every time he sees the long and thin needle.

"You guys, don't worry about other people, didn't my dad say before, there are women chasing after them. It is estimated that there are too many women chasing it, and now I am a little picky, and I don't know which one to choose. He Jing on the side also came up and joked at He Yuan.

"That's it, Xiaoyuan has been handsome since he was a child, and when he used to go to school, there were little girls who wrote love letters to him......"

A group of people chatted and chatted, and the topic began to talk crookedly.

As soon as he heard them talk about his childhood, He Yuan felt a tingling in his scalp.

As I said before, when He Yuan was a child, he was very strictly guarded by his father, and basically had no privacy of his own. At that time, during the New Year's holidays, students were popular to give gifts to each other, such as greeting cards, apples, books, notebooks, etc.

Every time He Yuan received a gift, he could only secretly put it in school. But it's not safe to put it in school, and those who have gone to school understand that there was no monitor at that time, and they had to throw some things every once in a while, especially what to eat and drink, and often turn their heads and disappear, no way, He Yuan could only put things in his schoolbag and take them home secretly.

In order to prevent He Yuan from fighting, early love or something, peeking at He Yuan's diary and looking through He Yuan's schoolbag are basically normal operations.

No, the things He Yuan hid were basically found out by his father, and then when he had a family gathering, he used this as a joke and told it to everyone. More than ten years have passed, and every time he hears these things, He Yuan still feels a fever on his face.

"Come, come, drink, drink, eat and eat. He Yuan hurriedly changed the topic, picked up the wine glass poured by the second uncle, and began to toast with them.

Halfway through the meal, He Yuan's other relatives also came back one after another.

The second aunt reopened a table next to her and brought the pot and vegetables up.

Fortunately, today is to eat mutton hot pot, the meat in it has already been cooked, you only need to put it in the pot, and then soak it a little, and you can eat it.

Maybe because of the drinking, He Yuan was also a little upset, and the conversation box gradually opened.

When he is usually alone, he basically doesn't drink, and when he goes out to accompany others, he just gets a little dip and doesn't overdo it. However, because today they are all family members, and they drink liquor, and they drink with their families, He Yuan will not hold it, but he rarely drinks liquor, and He Yuan is a little dizzy when these two glasses of liquor are in his stomach.

Drunk, not drunk, although He Yuan doesn't drink much, it may be a physical problem, and the amount of alcohol is still very good. In the past, when I was in Beijing, I had a dinner with friends, and the three of us drank two bottles of Erguotou, and when the wine was not enough, they could still dig out a few bottles of beer from the corner and continue to drink.

However, as the second uncle said, He Yuan's body is really not good now.

In the past, he would feel a little hot at most when he drank such a little wine, but now he felt a little dizzy in his head after drinking the same amount.

He Yuan suddenly felt a little nostalgic, when he was playing basketball at school, at that time, it was when He Yuan was in the best figure, the legs and arms were thinner than girls, and the muscles were tight, especially powerful. In addition to that, he developed six-pack abs.

Not like now......

He Yuan touched his stomach and felt the fat on his stomach, He Yuan sighed, and suddenly began to feel sad - he had always felt that he was too thin, and he was a relative like a little girl, but he actually felt that He Yuan was too fat now and should lose weight, which made He Yuan sure that he really should lose weight.

Otherwise, when I am thirty years old, when I walk on the road, I will be covered with bubble meat, with a general's belly on my head, and I will take the steps of a figure-...... Thinking about He Yuan makes me feel terrible.

"By the way, Xiaojing, you are also in Beijing, when will you find a girlfriend. ”

After three rounds of drinking, everyone finished brushing He Yuan and began to shift the topic to He Jing.

"Me, it's still early, my brother hasn't talked about a girlfriend yet, where is my turn. As soon as he heard that the topic had shifted to himself, He Jing hurriedly snorted, wanting to confuse the topic.

"Xiao Jing must have made a girlfriend, didn't he go back to Chengdu before and stayed for a while, he must have accompanied his girlfriend. Sun Yi said.

Sun Yi is the son of the eldest mother and the eldest child of He Yuan's generation.

He and his family had just arrived, and because they were going to drink, they let Sun Yi sit at this table.

"If you have a girlfriend, then bring it back, if you don't bring it back, who will your uncle ask for dinner?" The uncle was joking with He Jing there.

"That's right, Xiaojing, you bring people back, don't dare to say anything else, this meal must be invited. Sun Yi also helped on the side.

"Where, no, uncle, if you invite me to dinner, just invite me directly, don't you bring your girlfriend back, you won't invite me to dinner." He Jing continued to laugh.

"I must have asked you to bring your girlfriend back before I can invite you to dinner. If you don't bring it, then I'm not invited for nothing?" the uncle continued to tease He Jing.

"Then uncle, you should ask my brother to bring it back quickly, you can't run away from this meal. ”

He Yuan didn't expect this topic to shift to himself all of a sudden, and said helplessly: "If I want to have it, I'll bring it back directly." ”

"Why not, when you had dinner with me last time, the woman who came to pick you up later, isn't it your sister-in-law?" He Jing hurriedly said on the side.
