Chapter 22: Cheer Up
Winter is coming in a blink of an eye, Zhuge Huaizhi has a good reputation in the agency, and he was borrowed from another department after helping from one department, everyone likes this honest and hard-working young man.
Liu Jingliang has tutored Zhuge Huaizhi for all the problems in mathematics, so Zhuge Huaizhi has never bothered He Rulan, although he has worked hard, Zhuge Huaizhi has to admit that his brain really can't learn mathematics, Liu Jingliang has spoken very carefully, but he still knows a little bit about it.
There is still half a year to go, Zhuge Huaizhi picked up the physics textbook again, his foundation in this subject is good, especially the circuit diagram series and parallel connections can be understood at a glance, but only the part of the combination operation, Zhuge Huaizhi is a little uncertain, and he can't avoid mathematics wherever he goes, Zhuge Huaizhi sighed.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and his mother's vasculitis finally broke out, Zhuge Huaizhi and Zhuge Zhenguo carried their mother's sewing machine into the house, and ordered Wu Fengqiu to stay in bed, raise his legs, and insist on taking medicine.
The sewing work was broken, the family lost an income, Zhuge Huaizhi's monthly salary was all handed over to his mother, and he didn't keep a penny on himself, in his words, he ate at home, lived at home, and couldn't spend money at all.
In the past two years of work, Zhuge Huaizhi has neither learned to smoke nor like to drink, the only thing he likes is to read, get a library card for ten yuan, go to the city library to borrow it at any time, and never pay for a new book by himself, among young people of his age, it is very thrifty.
Taking advantage of his mother's illness and unable to do sewing work, Zhuge Huaizhi thought of a way, why not take the opportunity to encourage Zhuge Zhenguo to regain his strength.
After half a year of decadence, Zhuge Zhenguo doesn't drink much now, but the whole person is sluggish, and usually squatting on the sofa and watching TV in a daze except for helping his mother do some housework.
"Brother, seeing that the New Year is approaching, we have to find a way to make some money, or let's go to the commercial street to set up a stall, I will rest on the weekend and go with you!"
"Don't talk to me about setting up a stall! I'll never do that again in my life!" Zhuge Zhenguo became irritable when he heard this.
"Brother, last time that incident has nothing to do with setting up a stall, I heard Jingjing say that you are very good at buying goods, I think you are talented in business, we can't be bitten by a snake once, ten years afraid of the well rope, you look at the situation of our family, you are still so young, you can't stay at home for the rest of your life!"
Zhuge Zhenguo didn't speak, he didn't think about his future, but he had no education, no background, and the file was also written by the people at the grain station, and it was even more difficult to find a job.
Zhuge Zhenguo thought of his first love again, Xu Lili, a middle school classmate, when he was in school, Zhuge Zhenguo fell in love with Xu Lili, and he didn't contact him for two years after graduation, Zhuge Zhenguo thought that he would never have anything to do with her again.
Unexpectedly, after going to work at the grain station, Zhuge Zhenguo was pleased to find that Xu Lili actually worked here, Xu Lili's family conditions were good, her parents both worked in government agencies, and she had an older brother, Xu Lili was an only daughter.
After going back and forth, the two secretly fell in love, and the reason why Zhuge Zhenguo was in a hurry to make money was also to plan for marriage in the future.
If that incident hadn't happened, Xu Lili might have had a showdown with her family, but Wu Fengqiu had been kept in the dark, not knowing that her eldest son had a girlfriend outside.
After Zhuge Zhenguo lost his job, Xu Lili encouraged him at first, and even had a showdown with his parents, begging his father to help Zhuge Zhenguo find another job.
Xu Lili's parents learned of Zhuge Zhenguo's situation, not only did they not help, but forced Xu Lili to break up with him with both soft and hard measures, Xu Lili was naturally unwilling, but her arms couldn't twist her thighs, and Zhuge Zhenguo himself was also unstable, and the two had frequent conflicts, and finally ended in a breakup.
Every time he thinks of all this, Zhuge Zhen's heart is like frying, he is extremely eager for himself to get ahead one day and severely attack those who look down on him, but in the blink of an eye, he is defeated by his own decadence, and he doesn't know how to take the first step to defeat himself.
Zhuge Zhenguo knew that his younger brother was to let him stand up as soon as possible, not that he disliked him for eating idle meals at home, there were many things in the world that he didn't believe, but he never doubted brotherhood.
"It's okay, where you fall, where you get up again! Huaizhi, tomorrow I will go to the western suburbs and buy some things for the New Year, even if I can't sell them, I will have a happy celebration at home!" Zhuge Zhenguo made up his mind.
The next day, Zhuge Zhenguo inspected, there was no night market in winter, but now it is almost the New Year, when it is dark, there will be some small merchants and vendors on the sidewalks of the commercial street, selling lanterns for the New Year, couplets, new desk calendars and all kinds of exquisite wall calendars.
A little later, it was completely dark, and the trees on both sides of the commercial street were arranged with a lot of small colored lights, flashing and flashing, and the atmosphere of the New Year was already very strong.
I heard that on Sunday, the commercial street is also preparing to build a special New Year's goods street, selling couplets, firecrackers, lanterns, and all kinds of toys and children's lanterns.
Zhuge Zhenguo took a little capital from his mother and bought some things for sale, and on Sunday, the three brothers and sisters came to the New Year's Street early, set up the stalls, and put the goods neatly, waiting for the customers to come to the door.
The weather on this day is very good, although the temperature is not high, but it is rare that the sun is shining, and the sun shines on people's bodies, which makes people feel very comfortable.
At more than nine o'clock in the morning, there are more and more people who come to visit the New Year's Street, people are in groups of three or five, bustling, there is a family to come together, supporting the elderly, holding children, there are also couples who come together, holding hands, so sweet.
Zhuge Huaizhi helped to put the goods and quipped, "Brother, if you mix well and become a big boss in the future, I will resign and follow you!"
"I can be your accountant! Zhuge Jingwen hurriedly said.
"Jingjing, you're shrewd, you've found a good job!"
The three brothers and sisters laughed heartily, they hadn't been so happy for a long time, Zhuge Zhenguo was in a good mood, full of emotion, and opened his throat and shouted loudly!
"Take a look! This little brother, it's almost the New Year, buy a rabbit doll for your girlfriend, look how cute it is, fluffy!"
The couple holding hands was immediately attracted by the items on Zhuge Zhenguo's stall, Zhuge Zhenguo is really a talent, everyone is selling New Year's goods, he just bought a large number of plush toys, rabbits with white fluffy pink ears, light brown bears in sweaters, and colorful cute caterpillars, all of which are girls' favorite things.
As long as a couple passes by, they basically have to buy one for their girlfriend, after all, at such a low cost, buy items that can please their girlfriends, which boy can let go of this opportunity?
Before it got dark, the plush toys in Zhuge Zhenguo's huge woven bag had been swept away, and Zhuge Jingwen counted the accounts, excluding the cost, and made a full two hundred and eighty-five yuan!
"This is my three-month salary! Brother, you are too powerful!" Zhuge Huaizhi was shocked.
"That's it, who am your brother and I! Let's go! I'll buy some delicious food and go home to celebrate with my mother!"
The three brothers and sisters packed up their things and walked home in the afterglow of the setting sun.
