In ordinary life, Xiaoyu often thinks about these ordinary people he has come into contact with for most of the past six months, and these ordinary people will encounter some extraordinary things. This really confirms what people say: a bend in the river of water, a bumpy road in life.

The days go by so fast, from the early spring I can't help but realize that it is almost the middle of winter. It was Sunday, December 25, '88, and it was almost eight o'clock in the morning, and the light rain was still lingering on the bed. Although the city is very hot on hot days, it is not very cold in winter. It's just that he thinks that he has nothing to do when he gets up so early, so he just sleeps lazily. He lay flat on the bed, clasped his hands and hugged the back of his head, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

"Knock, knock," he suddenly felt a knock on the door, followed by a low-voiced "Big brother." He didn't have to look away to distinguish the voice before he knew that Yin Hong was coming, because she was the only one who called him like that.

He glanced at the clock, just after eight o'clock, he turned over and got up, walked to the door, looked through the crack in the door, and asked, "Little sister, do you have something to do with me so early?" "Okay. He turned around and put on his trousers and blouse, opened the door, and the slim Yin Hong walked in.

This Yin Hong is not red today, but she has become a big peacock with fluffy this day. Outside her knee-length black riding boots hung a few eye-catching, skullbones (bulging bones on the outside of her ankle). It is the same as a peacock opening, evenly with peacock spots, plush, green color, and a long coat below the calf. On her head was a round hat, light red and lilac, and fluffy. Her long shawl hair was still draped behind her head, and her face was now more vivid.

Xiaoyu looked at her, he marveled at her beauty, and also admired the girl for being so good at dressing up. It is precisely because of her beauty that he feels even more poor. He suddenly thought in his heart: I am really very different from them in the city, and it is not very inappropriate for me to associate with them. However, in life, it is inevitable to know the best people. Now that I know each other, this is also what they are willing to associate with me, and they don't dislike me, I wonder if these are redundant.

"I said," she saw him look at her in fascination, and she slapped her hand in his eye. "Oh, what are you thinking? He realized that he was distracted, he immediately stopped his thoughts, he shook his head, "It's nothing, nothing, you say, what are you calling me to do so early?" "My brother, they ask you to help today, they want to rent a house and do business there next to the south gate, and they want to call you to clean up and settle the house." "Okay, it's Sunday, and I'm not going to be able to do it." He readily agreed. In fact, in the past few months, after he met Yin Hong's brothers and sisters for the first time, on ordinary weekends, when Xiaoyu went out to play, he still saw Yin Hong's two brothers, of course, he usually met outside, just casually chatted about some irrelevant things, but in this way, you and I will be more familiar with each other.

"After talking for a long time, I just asked my brother to choose today, and they plan to open on New Year's Day, so that it will be completely late on New Year's Day. She continued, "Then you can pack up quickly, we will go to catch the car immediately, and buy something to eat outside." If we have something to say, we will talk as we go. "Okay!" Xiaoyu quickly washed up, and they walked to the bus stop.

On the bus, Yin Hong told her all the things in the past three months. "Not long after our conversation, Dr. Kong came and asked me if I had a good idea of the house for him," she said. I said that I looked at two places, one place is an old house, there is almost 90 square meters, as long as it is redecorated it is still possible, and another place is a new repair in the city, there are not many commercial houses now, the size of commercial houses are available, you can choose everyone, but the price is expensive, about 1,000 to 1,000 more than 1,000 square meters. In fact, the old house here is only about 600 square meters. I said, you can do it yourself. ”

She continued: "Guess what Dr. Kong said, he said that if you want to buy it, you have to buy a new one, and money is not a problem. I listened to his tone, it was really very broad, really, I used to underestimate him. I thought he was a little better than us, who knew he was so big. So I took him to see the new house. Guess what he thinks, there were originally more than 30, 70, 90, and the largest 110 square meters, but he only glanced at the small three-bedroom, one-living room, toilet and kitchen in his ninety-plus, and he felt not very satisfied. In the end, he chose a house of 114 square meters, the largest, most sunny, and the most expensive 1,280 yuan per square meter. ”

He thought, in the first two years, we praised 100-yuan households in rural areas, and later praised 1,000-yuan households, as for these 10,000-yuan households, it seems that only a very small number of people who do big business are eligible to get it. Those who can buy commercial housing in the city are either nouveau riche or high-paid and high-ranking people who can afford it. There are very few such people. This Dr. Kong, he himself said that he has been sick for two years, and he has so much money, which is really incredible. But Xiaoyu's incredibleness was quickly denied.

Yin Hong said: "He paid the deposit at that time, and I asked him where he got so much money." He said: I have been here for more than two years, to put it simply, in the first year, even if I see an average of 40 patients a day, I earn an average of one dollar per patient. Even if you see 300 days of illness a year, you can calculate how much you should pay. Let's talk about this second year, this second year the price has doubled a little more than doubled, and the number of patients has also increased by a third, you count. There are still these few months, and the price of all walks of life has risen quite quickly in recent months. So it's not strange that I have these thirty or forty thousand dollars now. ”

Xiaoyu had to be convinced when she heard it, no wonder the ancient proverb in the countryside said: If you don't learn art when raising children, you will be responsible for cutting off the basket system. This made him look down on himself even more. He thought: Alas, there is no way to be stupid in life, and this part-time job will really never make a fortune. If your boss pays you too much, how can he make money? Besides, if you pay too much, you won't be able to eat and you won't want to work. If you don't pay you too much, and you can't support your family, you will protest and quit. Therefore, when the boss is measured, it is appropriate to give you no hunger and no bloating. He thinks like this, he thinks like this, and even he doesn't know if it makes sense.

Later, Yin Hong said: "Since he bought the house that day, he has been walking more along the way, and I have met him more." Later, I didn't know if it was Lang, so I had that meaning with him. She also felt a little embarrassed when she said this. Xiaoyu looked at her, he admired Dr. Kong for having money, but he had nothing. At this time, even if he was a little worried and concerned about Yin Hong, it seemed to be superfluous. He thought: a happy life is inseparable from money, although some people say that money does not represent the whole of happiness, but who wants to live a life without money. Thinking of this, he was relieved, and he also felt that Yin Hong had found a good home.

But Yin Hong's words made him a little surprised, she said: "A month ago, he came to complete all the formalities of the house, he called me too, he told me, now the house is almost renovated, I will let you manage the house for me, you will find someone to decorate in two days, how much money is needed to tell me, the house is renovated, and you can go in and live in two to three months." And he said, If thou wilt, we will dwell in it together. When he said this, he and I were in the restaurant. I was very happy to hear it, but I said, "Whoever is going to be with you, you are naïve." He saw that I was happy, and just that, just like that, we were fine that day. When she said this, she bowed her head in embarrassment. Xiaoyu could see that she and Kong Xinshen were already there. At this time, her heart was secretly happy.

After a while, she said, "After that day, I also went to his doctor's place to play and eat there." While we were chatting, I said to the effect that my brother was going to start a shoe wholesale business, and he hadn't scraped together enough funds yet. After listening to this, he said, how much money is still missing, I said that I don't know the specifics, it seems that there are still a few thousand yuan missing. He said, "Just take 10,000 yuan from me, I know that the more relaxed the money in business, the more flexible it is." He really said generously: You go back and tell your brother and them, you can use the money one day, you can come and get it directly, and I will get it for you when you come. ”

When she said this, her face was filled with a sense of trust, happiness, and satisfaction. Xiaoyu was really happy for her at this time. In the end, she said: "I went back to my brother and told them, they were very happy, and the eldest brother said: For these thousands of yuan, your second brother and I have been in a mess these days, and now it's okay, now we just need to arrange the storefront, contact the supply of goods, and decide to open on New Year's Day." And just like that, the next day I went to get the 10,000 dollars back. ”

When he arrived in the south of the city, Xiaoyu saw a large area of buildings and simple houses, as well as all kinds of goods like mountains, as well as the terrain of land and water. Only then did I know that this is a distribution center for materials sent to all parts of the country. He thought: there must be a future for doing business here.

As a result, when he went there that day, their shoes had piled up most of the eighty-square-meter house they had rented. He went to help set up the shelves, and put some of each variety on them. After lunch, I helped out for a while and there was nothing to do. Because the three brothers and sisters had a lot of other things to do in the afternoon that day, Yin Hong sent Xiaoyu to the bus station, and Xiaoyu went back first.
