Once upon a time, shredded potato rice and charcoal fire, except for the gods, I was the one.

Now that life is better, shredded potato rice has become a fresh occasional meal, but charcoal fire is still enjoyed by rural people. On such a foggy winter night, burn a large pot of charcoal fire, and the whole room will be as warm as spring.

Li Jiaming's study is very warm, and the burns are all fine-chiseled tree charcoal, which is the silver charcoal in the classics. This kind of charcoal is not only hot but also burns for a long time, there is no smoke, and the ash that comes out is white, which cannot be bought in the market at all, but Li Jiaming has a full twenty sacks downstairs. These good charcoals are all Mao Ling and Hong Ling, who spent a lot of money to ask someone to burn them, and the charcoal on the market is only thirty or forty yuan and one hundred catties, and the cost of these charcoal is two or three yuan a catty.

Money is not a problem, everyone has money, which one is not a family fortune of tens of millions? The difficulty is that people have this heart, and they chisel trees for a hundred years to become wood, which can only be found in those inaccessible places, and Mao Yan and they invite people to go to the mountains every year to find, cut, and burn charcoal.

"People know that I don't value these things, just to show my heart, big things can't help me, so let me be more comfortable in the house."

You Xiaohong, the cousin and sister-in-law who was called, had a red face and a swollen neck, like sitting on pins and needles. You don't need to beat the drum hard, what her cousin means, can she still understand? I can have where I am today and my own efforts, but without the help of my cousin, I can't even enter the door of the public house.

Li Jiaming, who was making tea, had mixed tastes, people were changing too fast, and his cousin, who was simple before, was so scheming. The eldest brother chewed maggots in front of her, she turned her hand and instigated the stupid woman of her sister-in-law to gossip in front of her grandmother, and then she pretended to be forced to testify, and then asked the witness Sister Lan to come to her to clarify the misunderstanding.

Don't underestimate this kind of little trick, after two or three times, you will dislike your sister-in-law, and then hate Wu Jiwu, and hate your eldest brother. As long as he is a little dissatisfied, the eldest brother, the new star of officialdom, will be refrigerated by Deputy Secretary Zeng and them in an instant, good intentions!

"Jiaming, I won't trouble you. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I've already explained it to you. ”

"I know", Li Jiaming handed over a cup of tea, the brown color was yellow and green, and the tea fragrance was far away.

If she doesn't know how to do the aftermath work, then she, the deputy county magistrate of the Standing Committee, is too incompetent, and Li Jiaming won't call her to chat at all. On the contrary, Li Jiaming also felt that his eldest brother was too incompetent and narrow-minded. It is impossible to make a forest alone, and no matter what opinions or jealousy you have, how can you turn a natural ally into an enemy? If this matter is replaced by the second brother, he will definitely be jealous in his heart, but he will definitely be able to maintain the harmony on face, and he will still stand on his side at the critical moment.

Gangs are the same everywhere. One more ally of one's own, and one more point of the opponent's strength will be weakened, and this kind of simple arithmetic will not be done? In the long run, Li Jiaming is not optimistic about his eldest brother, and with his kind of mind and scheming, sooner or later his cousin will be dusty.

"Cousin, I won't care about your affairs in the future, but don't involve me either, okay?"

"Jiaming, I"

Since you have embarked on this road, there is no emotion to talk about. For the sake of authority, Tang Taizong killed his brother and forced his father, not to mention a cousin of his husband who was not related by blood? Scheming is actually not a bad thing, how many people who can get ahead are good people?

Li Jiaming shook his head and interrupted: "I didn't mean to blame you, and I don't think you did anything wrong." I still say the same thing, the road is your own choice, then do it according to your own heart. People don't have a long life, in addition to living for their families, it is more important to live for themselves. ”

Relieved, You Xiaohong, who was still red-faced and swollen, said gratefully: "Jiaming, thank you." ”

"It's okay, my mom is my mother's sister."

Li Jiaming smiled, put away the tea set, covered the brazier with ash, and got up to go to the ancestral hall to keep the New Year and chat with the uncles. Before entering the ancestral hall, I heard a noise from afar, and it was a group of girls of all sizes arguing with Mao Tong and fine dogs.

There is no need to guess, Li Jiaming knows that the full sister and the little sister are competing for the New Year's money, and the Jin Mei, who likes to eat ready-made, is still waiting to eat ready-made, and Wanwan is coaxing on the side. Anyway, these guys, those who give money are not happy to give, and those who ask for money are too little no matter how much they give, and they have to bargain every time.

"Brother, you say, are the hairy and thin dogs too stingy?"

How good is this, Li Jiaming, who was happy to see these guys making trouble, helped pull the bias and said: "Isn't it, I'm in college, and I still have to press the New Year's money?" ”

"No, Sister Man and Wanwan are New Year's money, we are tea money! By the way, if you didn't give us the New Year's money last year, you have to make it up to us! ”

I have to talk about this matter well, Li Jiaming, who didn't see Mao Yan shaking his hand, broke his fingers to settle accounts for them. He bought the ticket home this year, and he took first class, not economy class when they went home during the summer vacation; Also, when he came back from the United States, he also gave a set of SAROVSKI jewelry, which were all natural crystals, and a small bracelet was worth dozens of dollars!

As soon as the accounts were settled, several girls of all sizes screamed excitedly, shouting at Mao Tong and the thin dog to do the same.

was fooled, in previous years, the New Year's money was only 100 yuan, let Li Jiaming calculate it himself, a few girls of all sizes can at least extort thousands from hairy dogs and thin dogs. And so on, eight brothers, how much money do these little girls have to extort?

Manmei, little sister, they are okay, there is still a measure to spend money, Wanwan is only ten years old! According to Li Jiaming's original rules, her own money can be used freely as long as it is not wasted.

"Okay, when school starts, I will also invite you to take first class, and I will also buy you Swarovski necklaces and bracelets."

"No, cash!"

This is not good, my brothers are not short of money, let alone thousands of dollars per person, even tens of thousands of dollars are no problem, what about the eldest brother who reliably dividends to live? Li Jiaming glanced at Mao Tong and signaled to the onlookers next to him.

Mao Tong, who knew about it, was overjoyed, and the general said: "It's okay, you are all aunts and aunts, so do you want to give Mao cubs their New Year's money?" If you give it to them, I will give it to you; You give as much as you give, and I give as much as you want. ”

"We can't make any money!"

Xiaocai fan Wanwan also hurriedly said: "Yes, I can't make money, when I earn money, I promise to give them New Year's money!" ”

Can't earn it?

Mao Tong also broke his fingers to calculate for them, when he opened an Internet café, he borrowed his cousin's money, and later the money was not repaid forty percent of the shares, except for the thin dog one percent, the rest of the thirty percent was given to them as a dowry. Later, when he opened a supermarket and invested that money in it, when Xigou partnered with everyone to run a game company, he gave his 10% of the shares to these girls.

If you count it like this, these big and small girls are much richer than the military and big dogs at home, and there are many more.

"You know? Which of you has no money? ”

If you can't use it, what is it?

However, in the past, because of such a thing, Li Jiaming was separated from his family, and he also alarmed his grandfather and maternal uncle, and now they borrowed their courage and did not dare to say that kind of thing again.

Listening to the lively adults in the wing, I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard that a few little girls actually had so much money. They are not seventeen or eighteen-year-old children, and they know that since Mao Tong said so, these little girls will honor them when they graduate from college in the future.

It doesn't matter if they are military and big dogs, they are all their own sisters, Jiaming has the money to buy them some dowry, and Mao Tong has the ability to do business and help them make money, which is the duty of the elder brother. But this matter fell into the ears of Li Jiaren's brothers and several sisters-in-law, which was full of resentment.

Do not suffer from widowhood, but suffer from unevenness. Jiaming and Mao Tong are so generous to their sisters, but so biased towards their brothers?

The Li Jiaren brothers are rolling in the officialdom, and they can hide their emotions, and their wives are not good-looking. It's just that because the money belongs to someone else, and the little brother-in-law Li Jiaming is too powerful, they don't dare to say it.

Li Jiaming, who is insightful in the world, really doesn't care, when he sat in the compartment to drink tea, his father and the second uncle pointed out, and he joked: "Second uncle, you don't know, when I used to sell bamboo shoots, Mao Tong and thin dogs both helped, and later became a company, and they also helped." Before I went to college, I earned tens of millions, and Mao Yan asked me to borrow millions to do business, but I was embarrassed not to give it?

What you gave out, can you get it back? Two people want to give one and the other don't, what should I do? I had to cheapen those little girls, and I had to buy them a dowry in the future anyway. ”

When it came to the sale of bamboo shoots back then, the uncles suddenly remembered that they had complained at the beginning, and they also contributed to the hairy and thin dogs, but Jiaming didn't give them a penny.

But Li Jiaming can say this, and the uncles can make fun of their cousins with their eyes, but the hairy and thin dogs who have just finished sending the New Year's money don't admit it. Although they helped, they could not be millions. Open an Internet café, that is a ready-made plan given by Jiaming, and Mao Tong is just painting a scoop in the same way. Brothers should settle accounts clearly, brothers can help each other, and it is okay to get bare, but the accounts of human feelings must be calculated clearly.

But Mao Yan, who was playing here, said a fair word, "You can't say this, what about selling shiitake mushrooms later?" I stole from the big dog, but the two of you helped Jiaming run up and down, and you will benefit if you do your best. If you want me to say, if you didn't have a mind to go to college at that time, the company should share your share. ”

Or Mao Yan understands himself so little, Li Jiaming hehe is straight, and quipped: "Thin dog, regret it, right?" ”

I have to say that Li Jiaming's original ear life was successful, and the thin dog and the hairy stone are the same, and they have learned to be self-reliant and self-reliant.

"What's there to regret about this? Serve your own bowl and eat your own food, and the money you earn is more secure to use. Besides, those few are their own sisters, who will they help if they don't help them? ”

That's right, it's better to rely on others than on yourself. If you don't take people's hands, your hands will not be short, and if you don't eat people's mouths, you will not be soft, you will be able to be upright, and you will be able to straighten your waist and be a man.

Li Jiaming, who was relieved by his brother's maturity, rubbed the head of the thin dog and praised: "Finally grown up, my brain will think about things." ”

"Hehe, didn't I learn it from you?"
