Classmate Zhang Baotong 2018.8.6

However, before he took a back seat, Zhang Jun published two more books and became a contracted writer of the publishing house. But because Li Jian is old, he is facing a second line, so although he is no longer busy with work, he still can't calm down. Sometimes, looking at the books from Zhang Jun on the table, I still feel a little bit of martyrdom in my twilight years, but when I really sit down and want to write something, I can't write half a page or a page, so I get annoyed and can't write.

Soon after, he heard that his unit had approached a local builder to buy some houses at a discount in the Royal Gardens outside the Third Ring Road. He went to the royal garden two or three times to see it, and he really fell in love with a villa. Because it is two floors, there are more than 300 square meters, and the price is 1.5 million to 2 million. Based on the current housing prices, this is really not expensive. And the leaders of the head office are scrambling to buy it. Because of his age and seniority, the unit took special care of him and assigned him the villa he fancied.

Li Jian just wants to live in such a high-end villa, but he really can't be regarded as an ordinary person. In the past, when he talked about villas, he thought that they were lived by senior cadres or bosses, but now he can live in such villas. It's just that the house price of two million is not a small number, which makes everyone worry for a while. He had just bought a house in Baiyun Community two years ago, and it had been finely renovated, not to mention that seven or eight hundred thousand yuan was spent on it. So, at the moment, I really can't get this amount of money for a while. There was no way, so he sold the house in the hot spring garden where his son now lives for 600,000 yuan, and finally bought the villa.

After buying the house, he did not decorate it immediately, but waited until he had some money in his hand before starting to decorate it. He sees this villa as a testimony and a monument to his hard work and achievements in this life. Therefore, he tried his best to decorate this villa to perfection. It just so happened that he had taken a back seat, had sufficient time and energy, and he was engaged in engineering himself, so he was very familiar with decorating the house. He chooses the best design, hires the best contractor team, uses the best materials, and supervises from beginning to end. Therefore, the newly renovated villa can be described as a classic of home engineering.

In order to celebrate, Li Jian decided to hold a class reunion in his villa, so that all the classmates could see his glory and achievements, and the classmates also proposed many times that he had the highest position and the most money, and asked him to hold a party. However, this party can't do without Zhang Jun, because as long as Zhang Jun is compared, it is equivalent to comparing the whole class. However, when he called Zhang Jun and Zhang Jun's mobile phone was turned off, he called Zhang Jun's unit, and the people in the unit said that Zhang Jun had been relegated to the second line for more than a year. So, he found the Beixin Village community where Zhang Jun lived. However, neighbors said they hadn't seen their family for a long time. Li Jian wondered if Zhang Jun bought a new house and moved away. Later, I learned from other classmates that Zhang Jun lived in the mountains with his wife.

That day, he invited a few classmates into his villa to discuss the reunion. When the students entered the building, they saw that the living room downstairs was as big as a ballroom, with furniture such as coffee tables and TV cabinets being very expensive, and a large circle of leather sofas around it. The suspended ceilings in the living and dining rooms are beautiful and atmospheric. The aisle is long and narrow, and the apricot-colored walls are matched with antique floor tiles, giving people an antique texture. The kitchen is large and bright, with a large row of windows outside, and the cabinets are beige and antique wall tiles, which is very elegant. The dining room has a heavy solid wood dining table and a few chairs in light colors. The master bedroom is in white, with a large bed in the middle and some low cabinets next to it. The simple and bright colors give a refreshing and comfortable feeling. Two bathrooms are located between the master and second bedrooms. The master bedroom has a toilet and shower in the bathroom, as well as a bathtub. The bathroom in the second bedroom only has a shower and a squatting toilet. The upstairs apartment and space are as big as the downstairs, but the upstairs living room and room are only decorated, not furnished, and you can smell a strong formaldehyde smell. But the whole house looks spacious, bright and stylish.

Seeing this villa so exquisitely chic and luxurious, the students were stunned one by one. Looking at the students' extremely envious and admired looks, Li Jian felt that he should do a good job of this class reunion so as to leave a deep impression on every student. In this way, he will become the most promising and capable person in the eyes of his classmates.

Just a few days before the class reunion, everyone finally contacted Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun and his wife live in a farmhouse compound in the Qinling Mountains. A classmate proposed to go to Zhang Jun's place together, so a dozen or so of us drove three cars to Zhang Jun's place. Zhang Jun lives on a mountain called Xianling in the Daxu ditch of Danfeng. There used to be more than a dozen families living on the mountain, but in recent years, they have all moved to newly built houses by the stream below, so the farmhouses and yards on the top of the mountain have been abandoned and unused.

Zhang Jun and his wife live in a large courtyard with two three-bedroom houses. One house is used for living, two rooms are used as bedrooms, and one room is used as a living room. There is a TV and a sofa in the living room. The other building has three rooms that serve as a kitchen, dining room and bathroom. The toilet is in a hut outside the courtyard. The yard is very clean, and there are patches of pink and delicate sunflowers planted in front of the door. And outside the yard is a large vegetable patch with tomatoes, cucumbers, long beans and eggplants. And in a vegetable patch next to it, there are patches of greens and potatoes. A very thin spring flows through the forest at the top of the hill into a pond at the edge of the village, and then overflows through the pool and flows into the stream below. Around the vegetable patch, there are dozens of local chickens foraging for food.

Seeing that the classmates were coming, Zhang Jun hurriedly brought everyone to the house and made tea for everyone. He asked his wife to pick vegetables in the vegetable field, and he began to catch chickens and kill chickens. An hour later, a hearty lunch was served. There are stewed chicken, fried chicken blood, cold cucumber, braised potatoes, fried eggs with tomatoes, fried fungus with green vegetables, and a bottle of Danfeng wine and a bottle of Xifeng wine. Although this meal is not as expensive as the food in Xi'an Hotel, it is very refreshing and delicious. So, everyone was well fed for this meal.

While eating, someone asked Zhang Jun, "How much is the rent of your yard for a month?" Zhang Jun said, "This yard was originally abandoned, and the landlord didn't want money, but I said that I couldn't do without money, and then the landlord said 1,000 a year." I don't think 1,000 yuan a year or even 100 yuan a month is enough, so let's just say 1,500 yuan a year. The classmates all snorted and said, "This big yard is only 1,500 yuan a year, which is too cheap." Zhang Jun said, "The houses in this mountain are not as good as Xi'an, that is, there are seven or eight rooms in the newly built courtyard, and the rent is only two or three hundred yuan a month." Another classmate said, "I also want to rent a yard, can you help me find one?" Zhang Jun pointed to the houses and yards outside the courtyard and said, "Those households have moved down the mountain to live, and the houses and yards are empty, which of you wants to live, say hello to others, and give some money, isn't it?"

So, everyone asked Zhang Jun to take it with them, and they wanted to inspect these houses and yards. Zhang Jun took everyone along a path to see the surrounding dozen houses and yards, and then sat on the edge of a forest on the top of the mountain to enjoy the shade. It is the height of summer, the weather is very hot, but it is surrounded by mountains, the wind is light, the air is fresh, and the cool breeze is blowing, which not only makes people feel very comfortable, but also makes people feel very happy.

Zhang Jun said to everyone, "Standing here, you can see the sunrise over the sea of clouds in the morning, the mountain peaks like waves, and the red glow and sunset in the evening, and the mist is filled." After dark, you can still see the moon shining brightly in the silent night, the stars twinkling, and the stream making a roaring sound under the mountain. No matter how hot the weather is, you have to cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep at night. ”

Someone immediately proposed, "Why don't we set up the class reunion here?" However, someone immediately said, "Of course, it's good to have a party here, but where do the twenty or thirty classmates live after the reunion?" Zhang Jun said, "I can live here for about ten people, and the rest can be arranged to live in a peasant's house." Not to mention twenty or thirty people, even forty or fifty people have a place to live. Hearing Zhang Jun say this, everyone said in unison, "Then arrange the party here." ”

Listening to everyone's words, Li Jian was a little unhappy in his heart, he also felt that the sky here is wide, the scenery is infinite, the wind is refreshing, the summer is cool, and the food is delicious, with a strong sense of rustic atmosphere and simplicity, and the class reunion should be arranged here. However, in this way, his idea of letting his classmates visit the villa will be frustrated. This made him feel deeply disappointed, but he couldn't help but follow everyone's opinions. He couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, feeling that he still hadn't been able to surpass Zhang Jun.
