Chapter Ninety-Seven: Zhang Shaolong's Birthday
Zhang Shaolong's house is a white three-story house, behind which are a few towering camphor trees, and then there are green mountains, and there is a small pond in front of the door. I can hear the chirping of chickens and ducks, but they are kept in captivity in a small pond or in a chicken coop on the side of the mountain, and the yard is clean, it seems that Zhang Shaolong's mother is a very diligent person.
Zhang Shaolong's family is indeed very rich, at least in the hearts of a group of children, and in their eyes, the palace is nothing more than that. The terrazzo floor is light, the gypsum ceiling, the crystal chandelier, the wall is also made of wall skirting, the refrigerator, color TV, washing machine, video recorder and other expensive household appliances are all available, and even the bathroom covered with beautiful tiles are the flush toilets, showers, and washbasins that they have only seen on TV.
Zhang Shaolong, who was wearing slippers, took everyone who was also wearing slippers to visit everywhere, feeling a little proud and ostentatious. This is normal, it is the nature of children to show off, if this kid doesn't like to show off, it is abnormal.
What makes Zhang Shaolong feel a little strange is that from Mao Yan to the youngest Wen Mei, they are all curious, envious, and even a little restrained, but his boss Li Jiaming is very quiet, as if he is walking in the dormitory, without the slightest curiosity and restraint, and even a little as if he is disdainful.
That's right, the Li family really doesn't look down on the decoration of this house, from the gypsum ceiling above his head, the crystal chandelier to the wall skirt on the wall, and the marble under his feet, they are almost useless in his eyes. At noon today, he and Wang Zhenguo, his uncle, and his second uncle made a note together and wrote his shop in his sister's name. When my sister's house is done, I have to decorate a beautiful boudoir for her, and Mr. Liu is right, the girl has to be rich.
After visiting the three-story small western-style building, Zhang Shaolong took everyone to the living room on the first floor to play, watch videos, and wait for dinner.
"Hello Uncle Zhang"
"Jiaming, sit down quickly, just treat this as your own home. ”
"Second uncle?"
Zhang Weimin, who was wearing a well-textured suit but didn't even remove the trademark on his sleeve and was carrying a motorcycle helmet in his hand, was very enthusiastic, and greeted his son's classmates and friends with a smile.
That's right, Chongxiang is so big, the second uncle invited the well-liked Boss Zhang to dinner, and now he is in charge of a big project, if his daughter and nephew are eating here, it is not normal for Boss Zhang not to ask him to come over for dinner together. Businessman, it's about multiple friends and multiple roads.
The happy Li Chuanmin put down the fruit he bought temporarily, looked at the house, and praised sincerely: "Weiguo, your house is really good!"
"Politely, that's just so. Chuanmin, you are called a big deal, you buy so much land at one time, it's amazing, you will be called Li Banjie in the future!"
Zhang Weimin, who was changing his slippers, politely complimented him politely, feeling a little proud and swaggering in his heart, it is not easy to make a house in the countryside, let alone such a luxuriously decorated bungalow. These luxury decorations were still done in the second half of last year, and the master was invited from the provincial capital at a high price, but there are no such craftsmen in this county!
However, the compliment in Zhang Weimin's mouth is also sincere, this Li Chuanmin who suddenly appeared is really powerful, and he wants to build a three-story brick house with six storefronts in a row at one time, which is also the first one in Chongxiang, right? I really didn't see it, when I used to eat at his house, I thought he was a mason who mixed rice and ate on the construction site, but I didn't expect to have so much cash on hand. Six storefronts, even if the place is not good for housing, it is strong enough!
The delicate Manmei didn't know what the land was, and she didn't know what Uncle Zhang meant by Li Banjie, but she knew that her father could make a lot of money, and as soon as he changed his slippers, she pulled his big hand and shook it, begging: "Ye yes (Dad), we will also make a house like this in the future, okay?"
Li Chuanmin, who was ready to build a row of three-story brick houses in one go, was full of pride and promised: "Okay, as long as you can be admitted to university, yes yes will build such a house for you to live in." ”
"Yay, long live!"
The delicate Manmei clapped her hands and laughed, the well-behaved little sister looked at her enviously, Manmei was indeed a little sensible, seeing that the little sister was envious of herself, she hurriedly took her little hand and promised: "Sister, we will live in one room in the future, such a beautiful house must be very comfortable and comfortable!"
"Oh", I really saw what a beautiful house was, and my little sister didn't insist on her 'lofty' ideals, so she agreed with some disappointment.
Li Jiaming smiled and touched his little sister's little head with pigtails, he didn't think that his little sister was unambitious, but felt that it was his father's and brother's responsibility to do a good job of the house for her. Sister, as long as you study hard and have a decent job in the future, she doesn't have to worry about the rest. When her house is finished, where can she get some money to decorate a beautiful boudoir for her.
Girls, you have to be rich!
Li Chuanmin asked Zhang Weimin to take him to visit the house, and by the way, he and Li Jiaming will not decorate the house they have drummed up, but his fourth brother's house must be renovated, right? He built a lot of houses, but he had little experience in decoration, and craftsmen always liked to learn more experience.
A large group of children continue to watch videos, the eighties and nineties are the golden age of Hong Kong films, even if "Eight Star Annunciation" is already four years ago, they still see Mao Tong and Mao Yan laughing.
Li Jiaming looked at the sissy Fa Ge on TV, and suddenly felt a little dazed, remembering the absurd high school life in his previous life, a large group of people crowded into the smoky video hall, staring at the TV screen like this. It's just that what they watch is not a comedy, but the blood-boiling "Crazy Boy", or an all-English and all-Japanese love action movie.
Zhang Shaolong, who had already watched this film several times, saw that the boss seemed to be a little wrong, so he hurriedly leaned over and whispered: "What's wrong? You don't like to watch it, why don't I change it?"
"Oh, it's okay, come out for a walk with me. ”
Li Jiaming was together, Zhang Shaolong also hurriedly followed, and the other children didn't know that they were leaving, and they were all immersed in the happy world brought to them by Hong Kong movies.
The two of them came out of the small western-style building, Li Jiaming stood in the courtyard, and said with a straight face: "Long Yan, in the future, Mao Yan and Sue Yan will definitely let you take them to watch the video." You remember for me, put up all the kung fu movies and gunfight movies in your house, and you can only show them comedies or dramas!"
"Huh? Why?"
No, why, how many children are allowed to pick up knives and cut people in a "Crazy Boy"? Mao Tong and thin dogs have their own control, at most they fight at school, and they are as bold as Mao Ling and Sue Yan, if they let those films be edified again, it will be strange if they don't go directly to the underworld when they go out to work in the future!
Li Jiaming has no intention of changing the life trajectory of the children, everyone has their own way, and there are some things that cannot be forced, but the wool and thin dogs that play with them every day cannot be affected, and he promised his uncles.
It's just that this truth is really hard to talk to a thirteen-year-old man, Li Jiaming slapped him on the head angrily, and scolded in a low voice: "Your brain is broken? They are different from us, we want to go to university, no matter how crazy we are, we will remember to read and do homework." If I am fascinated by watching the video, can I control their people, and can I control their desire to watch the video?"
Zhang Shaolong scratched his head embarrassedly, "yes, why haven't I thought about it?"
The conversation between the two in the courtyard happened to make Zhang Weimin, who was on the balcony on the second floor, take Li Chuanmin to see the new aluminum alloy windows.
Zhang Weimin is a businessman with a good personal feeling, and his favorite son is studying in primary and secondary schools, and he knows some things about the school well, so he naturally knows Li Jiaming's affairs clearly. When he went to Huashan to pick up people last year, he thought that this guy was good, as sensible as a little adult, but he didn't expect to see him for a few months, and he was more sensible than before.
This guy is amazing, it's not a big deal to be able to read, but he is not tall or strong, but he can control a large group of leather boys, and he takes his younger siblings to study hard, which is amazing.
"Chuanmin, your nephew is terrible!"
Li Chuanmin was very satisfied with his nephew's carefulness, and said modestly: "Hehe, he is more precocious."
Zhang Weimin complimented him a few words, and also asked Li Chuanmin about business. It's just that the township stipulates that it must be a three-story brick house, and it must also be a flat-roofed house, but the current steel bars are not easy to buy, and if you have money, you may not be able to buy it in stock.
Li Chuanmin dared to build a three-story brick house with six storefronts in a row, and sold his cousin and Sun Township Chief three tons each at a low price, there must be a way to buy cheap reinforced cement, or there is more reinforced cement on the construction site, so he has to help himself to see if he can help buy reinforced cement. Go to the treat and give gifts to find someone to help, you can definitely buy it, and the price will not be very expensive, but it is not good to pay back if you owe someone a favor.
Zhang Weimin's words, Li Chuanmin, who already has the style of a second boss, has long been mentally prepared, and today people specially came to the construction site to invite him to dinner, and he felt that people should be for this; otherwise, a big boss would have no reason to invite a person like himself who is not very familiar with him to dinner.
Besides, Zhang Weimin has a good reputation in the township, and he is very particular about how to behave and does things, and he has a wide range of people, so he may be asked to ask him for it in the future. Li Chuanmin still understands the difference between sending charcoal in the snow and cramming Buddha's feet temporarily.
It's just how to make a price and bargain, this matter is really a bit difficult Li Chuanmin, he is essentially a mason, and he asked his nephew Li Jiaming to push him to the position of the second boss of the engineering team. When it comes to managing the construction site, he does his best to manage it, and with the help of a few apprentices and Li Chuanmeng and his brothers, he can manage it in an orderly manner, but it is really difficult for him to maximize his own interests like a businessman.
However, he still remembered how his nephew Li Jiaming bargained with Boss Wang in the first place. More than half a month ago, Li Jiaming's empty mouth and white teeth played the shrewd and capable boss Wang in the palm of his hand, which impressed Li Chuanmin too deeply. This is also the main reason why Li Chuanmin has regarded his little nephew as an adult who can discuss important matters since that day.
Of course, no matter how loyal and honest Li Chuanmin is, he will not tell the truth to others easily, he hesitated a little, and whispered: "Weimin, I'll help you ask, my boss has a bit of a way." ”
Zhang Weimin was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, thank you, then please, let's go, the meal should be good, let's go down to eat." ”
It is much better to owe Li Chuanmin, the second boss of the engineering team, a favor than to those who are officials, and none of those who are officials are fuel-efficient lamps. My cousin said that he came to help him, but businessmen are different from them in officialdom, they have to pay attention to life and work, and they can't do those bullying things!
