Chapter 1 Crossing
"Dad, when are we going to live in a big house?"
"It's coming soon, don't worry. ”
"But it's been a long time. ”
"It's real this time, it's really fast, when the time comes, you have one room, and Mom and Dad have one room, okay?"
……
"Old Li Tou, we have a daughter, we are old, what should we do if she gets married? Do you have the money for me to have a son?"
"Yes, baby, don't worry, your husband will be able to send it soon. ”
"Where is it going to be sent, why didn't I see it?"
"Your husband is talented, and making money is a matter of minutes. ”
"You've been saying this for five or six years, why haven't I seen it?"
……
"Huaxia directors can't do it, Huaxia movies are garbage, sell us your script, and Hollywood can show the story in your heart. ”
"Hahaha, what a great business to make Chinese money with Chinese scripts. ”
……
"Look at you, a thirty-year-old person, you want a house without a house, you want a car without a car, you have a deposit without a deposit, Dad is sick this time, you can't even get the money for the operation fee, when will you grow up and not worry about it?"
"Sister, this time my dad is sick, and I have taken out nearly 200,000 yuan, which is still tens of thousands, but I am not as unbearable as you said, right? I have worked hard for so many years and worked hard to support my family, why do you still look at me unpleasantly. ”
"Have you worked hard? Have you made any money? Look at your former classmates, are there any worse than you? Our family's face has been lost to you, grandpa was the richest in the village, and dad was the richest in the township at your age, what about you, look at you now, what the hell do you look like?"
"What the hell is it? You say I'm ashamed, I'll ask you, twenty years ago, our family was the richest, but what did I get, twenty yuan a month for living expenses, I worked odd jobs since high school, I paid for college tuition, I graduated from BJ, you tricked me to go home, what did the family give me when I got married, what help did the family give me when my wife and daughter were sick, what help did the family give me when my mother-in-law died?"
"Why, you're a big man and still have to rely on others to live? You are useless and blame your family for not helping you?"
"I don't blame my parents, I'm going to settle accounts with you, what have I done all these years? What have you done? I didn't spend a penny on my family when I got married, my wife didn't raise her well when she was pregnant, and she couldn't go to work after giving birth, I made money to support my wife and daughter alone, for six years, I went to work every day, worked part-time after work, and slept less than five hours a day almost every day for a year, but I lived an upright life. What about you? How much did you borrow from your father, two million or three million? How much did your aunt borrow, and how much did your uncle borrow? You got rich with your father's hard-earned money, but now you refuse to pay tens of thousands of yuan for medical expenses, and when your father has money, he is very attentive, and when he has no money, he ignores it, what a shame!"
……
"Your grandma is dying, you hurry back and see you, she keeps reading your name. ”
"Dad, I've already booked a plane ticket for SH to fly to my hometown, and I'll be back tomorrow. ”
"Aren't you in GH? ”
"I have a script for a Hollywood film company, I signed an agreement tonight, the manuscript fee is more than 500,000 yuan, I will not go out after I go home tomorrow, and I will take care of you, my mother and my grandmother at home in the future. ”
Half an hour later, "You don't have to go back, your grandmother is dead, you unfilial son." ”
……
"Ha!" Li Xiuping turned over and got up, he had just had a nightmare, all the things he hated to avoid in the first thirty years of his life were repeated in the dream, making him dizzy, "I have been under too much pressure recently, and my sleep quality has dropped a lot, hey! I will try not to stay up late in the future, but if I don't stay up late, how can I make money." ”
Li Xiuping turned around and found that his wife Jiang Lingling was not around, wait...... The room was a little weird, it wasn't the room he rented, and the bed...... How to cover the quilt, he is currently working at GZ, the weather is so hot that the quilt has been put away for several months.
"If you want me to live, let me live with hope......"
The mobile phone rang, Li Xiuping picked up the phone, and found that it was an old-fashioned smart phone with buttons, "Hey, why is this mobile phone?
"Sister, is it my sister calling?" Li Xiuping found that the caller ID on his mobile phone was "sister", and he subconsciously pressed the answer button, "Hello...... You are ......"
"It's me, Li Xiuping, listen up, grandma is sick, come back quickly, don't mess around in BJ, come back quickly, grandma will not be able to do it soon." ”
"Uh......"
Without waiting for Li Xiuping to reply, the other side had already hung up the phone, Li Xiuping put down the phone and looked at the opposite wall blankly, he heard that passage once eight years ago, he remembered it very clearly, exactly the same words, word for word, "How is it possible, am I still in a dream?"
Li Xiuping saw a wall calendar on the wall in a trance, and when he looked closely, the time on the wall calendar was September 11, 2009.
"How is that possible?"
Li Xiuping realized that the situation was not ordinary, he carefully looked at the room, and found that this was a single room without a bathroom, about ten square meters, there was still a dim feeling when the lights were on, a bed and a table, there was an old laptop on the table, a pack of unopened instant noodles, a bottle of Coke, a desktop mirror, and a box of cold medicine, a football under the table, a pair of slippers, a pair of leather shoes, and two pairs of sneakers.
The more Li Xiuping looked, the more shocked he became, he vaguely understood what was happening, but he still couldn't believe it, he opened the pillow with trembling hands, and sure enough, he saw two packs of condoms, he grabbed the mirror on the table, looked forward, and saw a very young face with a delicate and confident face.
"Isn't this what I looked like when I first graduated? This is really the room I rented in '09, I crossed over, I was in BJ in '09, I dreamed of becoming a great director, I rented a basement near the West Railway Station, I really crossed over, but what should I do? What about my wife? What about my daughters? What will happen to them in that time and space? Can I go back?"
Half an hour later, Li Xiuping accepted the fact of time travel, he no longer bothered about what his wife and daughter would do in another time and space, because he had no choice, he could only guarantee that in this time and space, he would give them the best and happiest life.
"I won't let you suffer in this life. ”
"In September 09, the eldest sister called me to say that my grandmother was critically ill, I hurried back to my hometown, but my grandmother was not sick, it turned out that it was just a scam, my parents and uncles and aunts and several aunts were tried, and I was unanimously asked to go back to my hometown, I was not firm in my will at that time, and I succumbed to their arrangements, and began my extremely tragic and helpless life. ”
"Now go back in time, I'm back to eight years ago, God gave me a chance to do it again, do I still want to go back to my hometown? Do I have to do it again? Why don't I go back to BJ and go back when I'm famous?"
"No, I'll be back tomorrow, I want to see my grandmother, see my parents, they are my dearest people, I have crossed over, I have to see them. ”
Li Xiuping flew back to his hometown early the next morning, and arrived home at 10 o'clock in the evening, where he then met his father Li Yansheng, his mother Huang Yanping, and his grandmother Ding Xichun.
When Li Xiuping saw Ding Xichun, he almost couldn't control his emotions, broke down and cried, his biggest regret before crossing was that he didn't see her for the last time before Ding Xichun died, so that the old man read his name and left, which made Li Xiuping blame himself and sad for half a year, at this moment, seeing Ding Xichun's old demeanor and kind and happy smile, Li Xiuping only felt full of happiness, and vowed to accompany Ding Xichun well in this life.
Two hours later, the family dispersed, after all, Li Yansheng was almost sixty, and Ding Xichun was almost eighty years old, and the old man should go to bed early.
Li Xiuping sat alone in the living room, thinking about tomorrow, in his memory, Li Xiuping's sister and brother-in-law, several aunts, and uncles and aunts went to Li Xiuping's house together, and they told Li Xiuping a big reason, asking him to quit his BJ job and go back to his hometown to do things, so that he could work and take care of his parents.
Li Xiuping succumbed to the arrangement of his relatives and began an extremely tragic and helpless life.
"They're selfish, so don't blame me for not being emotional. ”
The situation of the Li family is somewhat special, Li Xiuping's great-grandfather died early, and his grandfather shouldered the burden of the family when he was a teenager, and did a very good job, running an opera troupe when he became an adult, and became the richest man in the village.
Li Xiuping's grandfather probably took himself as the standard, and was very strict with his eldest son Li Yansheng since he was a child.
Li Yansheng worked very hard, and was very competitive, in the early nineties he became a 10,000 yuan household, and so on about two thousand years, his assets exceeded 10 million, around 05 years, when Li Yansheng was ambitious to do a big job, he was deceived by a friend who had known him for many years, and lost tens of millions.
After the fraud, Li Yansheng was disheartened, sold the factory, left GD, and returned to his hometown to retire before he was sixty, and his concept changed greatly, believing that no one else could be trusted except blood relatives, which gave his younger siblings hope to make a fortune.
Although Li Yansheng's business failed, but after more than 30 years of accumulation, he still has tens of millions of savings, and his younger brothers and sisters have asked him to borrow money, or to do business jointly, Li Yansheng did not hesitate, he lent as much as he had in the account, but until Li Xiuping crossed, his uncles and aunts did not repay Li Yansheng's money.
Li Xiuping remembered that the reason why his uncles and aunts were so enthusiastic about expecting him to return to his hometown was for money.
Li Xiuping's uncle Li Fusheng is a person with great ambition and talent, lazy and lazy but very good-looking, he has not gone to work seriously since he became an adult, relying on the help of his family to open a shop and a factory, and there is still no achievement after 20 years, he wants to do a new business, but he has no capital, because the credit is not good, the bank has not given him a loan, so he paid attention to Li Yansheng.
Li Fusheng has long owed Li Yansheng a debt of two million, he was afraid that Li Yansheng would not lend him any more money, so he thought of Li Xiuping, Li Fusheng said to Li Yansheng that Li Xiuping has no way out in BJ, it is better to go home and follow him to learn to do business, he has a big project, he invested 3 million, Li Yansheng invested 3 million, and the two brothers each accounted for 50% of the shares, he was responsible for the operation of the company, Li Xiuping followed the past to learn and monitor, so that the best of both worlds.
Li Fusheng said that he moved the other sisters and Li Xiuping's sister, and they persuaded Li Yansheng to ask Li Xiuping to return to his hometown, and Li Yansheng agreed, which led to the deception of Li Xiuping to go home.
Li Xiuping remembered that Li Fusheng was a white wolf with empty gloves, he was penniless at the time, there was no three million at all, and later the company relied on Li Yansheng's funds, but in just one year, the company went bankrupt, and Li Fusheng sent away the loss of Li Yansheng with an IOU.
Li Xiuping was angry at the time, angrily reprimanded Li Fusheng, but attracted a group of relatives to besiege, Li Yansheng was actually on the side of his brothers and sisters, since then the relationship between Li Xiuping and Li Yansheng has deteriorated, he got married and gave birth to a daughter did not get Li Yansheng's blessing, Li Yansheng's family property of about 10 million, Li Xiuping did not get a cent, and he stayed up late every day before the crossing, desperately trying to give his wife and daughter a real home.
At this time, Li Xiuping remembered those things again, and his future plan was more firm, "I have crossed, I am still the same me, my grandfather is self-reliant, my father is self-reliant, I can do the same, I will not ask for my father's money, but I will go my own way." ”
The next day, Li Xiuping's uncles, aunts, sisters, and brothers-in-law arrived as promised, they were all brightly dressed, as if they were going to attend an important banquet, after they saw Li Xiuping, they immediately launched a profound ideological education for him, and finally Li Fusheng stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and concluded: " Xiuping, what kind of screenwriter and director are you doing in BJ, you have no future, go back to your hometown to do business, just like your grandfather and your father, break out of the world, it doesn't matter if you have no experience, I will teach you, I have a money-making project here, we are relatives, and we will get rich together. ”
Li Xiuping couldn't help but smile, Li Fusheng's kung fu to fool his family is still very good, but it's a pity that it is not good to do business to fool customers, he is not even as good as Li Xiuping, Li Xiuping was in charge of the company's foreign trade before the crossing, and is the company's sales elite, Li Xiuping knows the truth of the matter, so he asked with a smile: "Uncle, I know your plan, but I heard that you lost a lot of money in the last factory, this time we each contributed three million for this project, do you have three million?"
"Why not, I've been in business for more than 20 years, and I've made a little bit of money. ”
Li Xiuping shook his head and said to Li Yansheng: "Dad, you can't lend money to your uncle, if your uncle can come up with three million, I will do it with him, and if I can't take it out, then how about I go back to BJ?"
Li Yansheng nodded and smiled, "Okay, Fusheng, no problem." ”
Li Fusheng laughed, "Of course it's no problem." ”
Li Xiuping glanced at Li Fusheng, "I have a computer at home, uncle, what bank are you, let's log in and check the balance, no problem, right?"
Li Fusheng smiled awkwardly, "Xiuping, what do you mean by this? Don't believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, but three million is not a small amount, my dad also got up early and was greedy for hard-earned money, that is his and my mother's pension, you must always be cautious, you want to join forces, you can't not not give a penny, right?"
Li Fusheng looked at the sisters, "Sister, am I lending ......you money?"
Before Li Fusheng finished speaking, Li Xiuping interrupted, "Uncle, don't be like this, my aunt has a wholesale department, 100,000 yuan is enough for her to operate for two months, you borrow her 3 million turnover, what about deceiving ghosts?"
Li Fusheng glared at Li Xiuping angrily, but found that Li Xiuping was just looking at him calmly, not caring about his gaze, Li Fusheng looked at Li Yansheng, "Brother, do you believe me?"
"Dad, you are also a businessman, credit first, uncle has money, I will work with him on projects, if there is no money, I will go back to BJ, what else do you have to say?" Li Xiuping followed and said.
Li Yansheng looked at Li Fusheng and asked dissatisfiedly, "What is your situation?"
Li Fusheng said indifferently: "It's just that it's lent out for turnover, and I'll be back soon." ”
Li Xiuping shook his head, he really didn't shed tears when he saw the coffin, "Dad, you also know some friends in business, don't you know if you go to inquire, I heard that my uncle's factory was sold, and the money from the sale was not enough to pay off the previous material fees, and people often come to collect debts these days." ”
Li Fu was angry and pointed at Li Xiuping, "You...... You guy, don't talk nonsense, I'm going to change careers, otherwise I won't sell the factory, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. ”
"You know, I've been in business for 20 years, and I've never been successful. ”
"Is there anyone like you who talk to your elders like that?"
"Seek truth from facts, uncle, you don't have that talent, do you still work honestly? Don't think about making a fortune, I'll learn from you, learn from you, and learn from you for more than 20 years, losing ten and eight factories?"
", where did I lose?"
"It's not a loss, where did you go when you borrowed so much money from my father, and where did the money left by your grandfather go?"
……
The family meeting finally ended in the quarrel between Li Xiuping and Li Fusheng, and Li Yansheng seemed to understand that Li Fusheng was really not a business material, and Li Xiuping would only get worse and worse when he learned from him. However, he is still not optimistic about Li Xiuping's future in BJ.
"What kind of director are you doing in BJ, it's not a good way, you look at the famous director, how can you be as young as you, do you have to rely on your family to support you?"
"No, I can support myself. ”
"Then if you don't get married in the future, what will you do to support your wife and children?"
"I'm going to make it, I'm sure I'll be able to feed them. ”
"I don't force you now, you can go back to BJ, but you have to go home for the New Year, and then you will be considered to have worked for half a year, it's no problem to hand over 20,000 yuan for the New Year, if you can't earn 20,000 yuan, you can honestly go back to your hometown, your uncle can't, I'll take you to do business." ”
"Okay, we'll make up our minds. ”
