Chapter 333: Homesickness (2)
Qi Lei was silent over there for a minute, and said: "Zhenhua, I'll send you 10,000 yuan, and you give Qi Gui 2,000, which is considered my eldest brother, and buy some wedding supplies for my brother." The remaining 8,000 will be returned to Director Shi. Other amounts owed...... We can only wait a little longer. As long as I don't die, I'll pay off these debts. ”
Zhenhua sighed: "Pay off the debt slowly, you haven't come back for a few years, you should come back and take a look." When she returns, she remarries Fluttershy and lives a good life. ”
Qi Lei smiled bitterly: "I'll go back now, what face do you have to see people? What face do you have to see Zhuang Xiaodie?"
Zhenhua sneered: "You have no face and no skin, what are you afraid of? If you don't come back now, do you plan to come back after becoming a millionaire?"
This sentence seems to have seriously stabbed Qi Lei's self-esteem.
Qi Lei gasped over there, lowered his voice and said, "Zhenhua, what do you mean? Look down on me, right?"
Zhenhua continued to sneer: "It's not just that I look down on you? In the entire Dongwan Village, no one looks down on you! It's the man from our Dongwan Village, just get back to me, face your family, face your life, and face those creditors!"
"Okay, let's not talk about it, I won't be able to get rich in the future, so I won't go back to Dongwan Village for the rest of my life, and I won't see you for the rest of my life!" Qi Lei hung up the phone with a snap.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhenhua hurriedly stopped, but it was too late.
……
Qi Lei hung up the phone and burst into tears.
After four years of wandering, he was really homesick. He asked Zhao Chengquan, who was selling black rice in Nanjing, about the situation, and asked for Zhenhua's phone number, he wanted to chat with Zhenhua and comfort the pain of homesickness, but he didn't expect to be scolded by Zhenhua and scolded by him, and he was ridiculed and despised.
Walking alone on the streets of a foreign land, Qi Lei silently vowed: "As long as you don't die, you must turn over in this life, so that all the people in Dongwan Village will be impressed by themselves!"
But how easy is it to turn over?
Qi Lei sold discs for a year, business was very good in the first half of the year, and in the second half of the year, the competition suddenly became fierce, the market was saturated, and the money he earned every day was only enough to eat, drink and live.
From this, Qi Lei realized that this kind of small business of buying and selling without technical content is too unstable, and it is okay to support a family, but it is not possible to make a fortune at all.
If you want to make a fortune, you still do your old job and do engineering!
On the evening of this day, Qi Lei made up his mind to return to the construction industry, no longer send money to his family from now on, accumulate capital, and prepare to make a comeback!
However, Qi Lei has already told Zhenhua that he must send 10,000 yuan to his family first, and he must be true to his word. This 10,000 yuan, Qi Lei sent it to Zhenhua the next day.
……
When Zhenhua received the remittance slip, it happened to be the day before Qi Gui's wedding.
According to Qi Lei's meaning, Zhenhua distributed the 10,000 yuan, returned Director Shi 8,000, and handed over the remaining 2,000 to Qi Gui.
Qi Gui didn't ask for the two thousand yuan, but handed it over to his sister-in-law Zhuang Xiaodie to pay off the debt.
The twenty-second day of the lunar month is the day when Qi Gui holds a wedding.
The wedding was very shabby, with only five or six tables of guests in total, which was not as good as the scene of Qi Lei and Zhuang Xiaodie's wedding.
But Qi Gui and Luo Yuhuan were very happy, with happy smiles on their faces.
Qi Lei's creditors did not take the opportunity to ask for debts, which made Lan Yuzhi and Zhuang Xiaodie both breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhenhua and Yilan are both drinking happy wine here and helping by the way. Zhenhua is in charge of knowing customers, and Yilan helps cook in the kitchen.
The village elder and the village chief's wife were all here to cheer, which also made Qi Gui and Luo Yuhuan feel honored.
Zhenhua looked at Luo Yuhuan's smiling face, but sighed in his heart, judging from Qi Gui's current family background, Luo Yuhuan was afraid that he had jumped into the fire pit. For Qi Gui and Luo Yuhuan in the future, Zhuang Xiaodie had already discussed with her mother-in-law Lan Yuzhi, and after the year, let the young couple split up and continue to go out to work, so as not to be affected by Qi Lei's debt.
But in a rural society, even if the brothers are separated and the eldest brother is in debt, the brother should not want to live in peace.
If Qi Gui doesn't get rich, if he gets rich in the future, Qi Lei's creditors will definitely find it.
After the 22nd day of the lunar month, Zhenhua continued to be busy with village affairs and arranged entertainment and cultural activities during the Spring Festival.
The villagers were really happy to hear that there was a lion dance performance during the Spring Festival, and there were old pockmarks singing, especially those women. Men in the countryside drink alcohol, party, and gamble during the Spring Festival, while women rarely have entertainment. Lion dancing and singing can be regarded as taking care of all men, women and children in all aspects.
The chess competition has also received a positive response from chess enthusiasts in Dongwan Village. Lan Yushu and Liu Zhigao were militants and went to Zhenhua early to report their names.
Zheng Huailiang also supported Zhenhua's work, not only signing up for the chess competition, but also sponsoring 100 yuan to add to the prize money.
Zhenhua is busy every day, but he is very happy, looking forward to the opening of a new atmosphere in Dongwan Village.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhenhua patrolled along the three groups and unexpectedly found that there was really no gambling activity this year.
Wang Xiang stood in front of the door and watched left and right, expecting someone to come to him to push pai gow. However, after waiting for a long time, none of the villagers passing by in front of the door mentioned pushing pai gow!
"Mom, the New Year is not lively at all, and there is no one who even pushes pai gow!" Wang Xiang scolded angrily and stood in front of the door in a daze.
Zhenhua came back from patrol and said with a smile: "Uncle Xiang, don't gamble this year, the above is very tight, and you can't get caught if you are caught." ”
"Who gambled? Who did you see gambling?" Wang Xiang glared and said angrily: "Your Uncle Xiang is the first law-abiding person in Dongwan Village, and he never gambles!"
Zhenhua nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Uncle Xiang is our model of getting rich, moral, and law-abiding in Dongwan Village...... Model husband, model parent, model pig killer......"
"Go and go, it's okay to be idle, make fun of your uncle!" Wang Xiang glared at Zhenhua, and then said: "I said Zhenhua, you have a chess game, and I can't play chess, I can only watch others play, what should I do? I think so, if you have a tug-of-war competition, a burden-carrying competition, and a tumbling competition, I promise to be the first!"
Zhenhua smiled and said, "No problem, Uncle Xiang, I'll add an activity called 'picking up dung' competition, which will start tomorrow morning." Whoever can carry a load of dung and walk from morning to night without resting is the first!"
"That must be your father's first, he is a professional household in picking dung! Tomorrow on the first day of the new year, ask your dad to pick up dung!" Wang Xiang glared at Zhenhua again, and went back to the house to watch TV.
On the first day of the new year, Zhenhua went to the New Year as usual, one, two, three and four groups, and the family did not fall.
On the way to the new year, Zhenhua met Zhao Wenle.
Zhao Wenle said with a smile: "Zhenhua, this village chief is doing a good job! I heard that this year there is a chess competition in our village, as well as a lion dance performance, and Song Rengui singing. It's really good to be able to organize so many entertainment activities in the countryside, even in the town, it's not so lively!"
Zhenhua smiled: "The second grandfather is also a chess master, why don't you also sign up and participate?"
