Chapter 52: Ordinary Life
The two brothers of the Zhao family, who left their grandparents' house, were silent all the way.
Zhao Pu's new car drove far away, and his younger brother Zhao Puming said: "Brother, thank you." β
The other party didn't talk.
After a while, I vaguely heard Zhao Puming sobbing in a low voice.
"If you want to cry, cry, don't do this when you get home, your parents will be sad. β
"Woooooooooo Zhao Puming was still very forbearing, intermittently, "It's too bullying, how can it be like this?"
"It's obvious that you bullied other people's daughters. β
"Miao Miao and I are in love. β
Zhao Puxin sighed, thought about it, shook the steering wheel, turned around, and didn't say anything more.
There was silence in the car, only Zhao Puming, who was immersed in his own world, like all the men, lamented how there was such an annoying mother behind such a lovely girl.
When he calmed down, he noticed that this was not the way home.
"Brother, where are we going?"
The car happened to come to a brightly lit place.
The first time Zhao Puming came here, he used to pass by, or heard, this is the best five-star hotel in the city.
According to everything in it, the only drawback is that it is expensive.
Zhao Puxin drove the car directly into the underground garage.
"Wow!" Zhao Puming was shocked when he looked at the dazzling array of luxury cars.
Those logos that have only been seen on the Internet in the past, those bodies that glitter in the light from afar, hard or soft lines, some are as domineering as a tiger, some are as delicate as a jaguar ready to go, each one is carefully built.
The car didn't stop, Zhao Puxin went all the way forward, and finally stopped at the employee entrance and exit in the corner.
There are many regular cars all around, and there are many vans and vans.
Looking at his younger brother's slightly excited face, Zhao Puxin understood very well that there is no man who doesn't like cars, especially luxury cars.
It's just that when you don't know anything, you can play for a long time with a ragged plastic car.
When I grow up, I will be in trouble, and many of my preferences can only be buried in my heart, and I will have a good time visiting the auto show, and I will never have the money to buy a car.
Zhao Puxin made a phone call, as if he was asking someone for something, and then sat in the car and waited.
Zhao Puming knew that his brother worked at China Merchants Bureau, and asked, "Brother, you often come here?"
"Hmm. β
"Those who do business must eat in this kind of place?"
"Can't you?"
"It's expensive to hear. β
"For them, it's the same price as you eat a bowl of noodles on the side of the road. β
"Capitalism of all evils. Zhao Puming muttered.
A childish sentence, but Zhao Puxin couldn't laugh.
My younger brother has good grades, better than his own exams, and he is going to leave home to go to college in another place.
From now on, the road will depend on him.
"Has Miao Miao ever talked to you, her cousin Shi Ai is here to eat tonight?"
"It's your middle school classmate? Listen to Miao Miao, and find a very rich boyfriend. β
"Yes. β
Zhao Puming was a little surprised: "We're going to see her cousin?"
Zhao Puxin shook his head, and continued: "You and I have good grades, and you have always been the pride of your parents." Do you remember that my aunt's big fat hate to eat with us the most? β
"Whoever made his grades so bad, he had to be nagged by his aunt every time. β
"Yes, where there is a contrast, there is a gap. Especially in a family, it's just that the grades are poor, and once there is a comparison, it is easy to make people angry. Why are other people's children so well-behaved, and why are my children so stupid?"
"Brother. What do you want?"
Seeing that Zhao Puming knew that he was referring to something else, and he was still a little brainy, Zhao Puxin felt that this trip was right.
"Who doesn't want their daughter to marry well, have a house and a car, and have everything. What's more, Miao Miao's cousin is looking for a genuine rich man, the kind of company that we ask grandpa to sue grandma and hope that people will come when we attract investment. β
"......" Zhao Puming was a little unconvinced, "Miao Miao is not that kind of person. β
"What kind of person doesn't want to live a rich life?" Zhao Puxin said earnestly, "Obviously, what kind of life women want to live, the choice should be in their own hands." If you have money and she likes bags, then buy them, and if you don't like them, don't buy them. But if you don't have the money, she can't afford it if she likes it or not. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Don't think about Miao Miao's parents for the time being. Even if you get married after graduating from college and become a family. A cousin can live in the best house, wear the most beautiful clothes, wear the most gorgeous jewelry, be served, and be maintained as if she were in her twenties after decades. Can you bear to watch Miao Miao follow you to work and take care of housework, and become a yellow-faced woman in a few years?"
"I will also make money, I can support her. β
At this time, someone knocked on the car window and interrupted the conversation between the two brothers.
Zhao Puxin got out of the car and took a list.
The other party was very polite: "Section Chief Zhao, you can just say it, why don't I let someone send it to you, and I will make a special trip at night." β
"By the way. Zhao Puxin casually flipped through the two pages and raised his eyebrows, "This price is not low." β
"And that's only part of the story. You see these dishes, the raw materials are all bought by them from the place of origin, and they arrive by air at noon, and we are just processing. β
"Then you are probably the master master tonight. β
"Of course, we can't afford to mess it up. β
Zhao Puxin sighed: "Big customers, it's yours and ours." β
"It should be possible, look at this posture, there is a lot of attention to the woman. Our manager has given an order to be sure to receive the wedding well, and strive to take care of the marriage. β
"The wedding shouldn't be with us, right?"
"At least there is a return door. β
"That's it. β
After a few more polite words, Zhao Puxin said goodbye.
After getting in the car, he threw the list directly to Zhao Puming.
"Take a look, this is the broadcast and price of Miao Miao's cousin's fiancΓ©'s house tonight. β
"Brother, why do you want this?"
"Here you go. β
"Me?" Zhao Puming flipped a few times, nothing special, he knew the dishes, but when he turned to the last page, he was frightened by the string of numbers, "What about robbing money?!"
"Don't be so dirty, people are worth the price. β
"Picture this hotel reputation, right?"
"This is one thing, the service of the hotel is definitely the best. The second is the chef's craft, where most of the top chefs are located. What's more important is the ingredients, believe it or not, even if it's a green onion inside, it's different for us to eat on weekdays. Not to mention imported, wild, or organic food. β
Zhao Puming was a little discouraged, but his brother's attack on him had not yet paused.
"Do you know what my biggest gain has been in China Merchants for more than a year?"
ββ¦β¦β
"It's about adjusting your mentality, acknowledging your ordinariness, and realizing that your life may always be so ordinary. There is some money that I will never be able to earn, some cars that I can never afford, and some houses that I will never live in. β
