Liang Ju's new job is in the city center, she goes to work at half past eight in the morning, she has to get up at six in the morning, and sometimes Mao Dong looks a little distressed when she gets up early and doesn't even have time to eat breakfast.

If she didn't need to come back early for socializing the night before, Mao Dong would get up with Liang Ju the next morning, and then boil a pot of porridge or boiled eggs for her while she was washing.

Seeing that he also got up so early, Liang Ju couldn't bear it, "I can eat it in the car with bread." ”

"It's cold in the morning, and if you eat cold, you will definitely have a stomachache."

There were a few rainy days when Liang Ju went out before six o'clock, Mao Dong wanted to send her, she didn't let her, it happened that Mao Dong's company took over a big job during that time, and came back early in the morning every night, Liang Ju looked at his haggard appearance, and he was also distressed.

Liang Ju has not yet graduated, and the contract signed with the company is an internship agreement, so he does not enjoy the company's subsidy. There is a shared house near the company, and her colleagues see her getting up early and going to work late and persuade her to live near the company, but Liang Ju thinks that if she doesn't go home, Mao Dong alone will definitely not be able to guarantee even three meals a day, and the rent has become an additional monthly expense.

Since Liang Ju and Mao Dong had a 'marriage contract', Liang Ju took the initiative to serve as the family's financial planner. The □□ that Mao Dong handed over to her that day contained all the money he had saved since the business failed, although there was still a certain gap from the down payment to buy a house, but Liang Ju thought that as long as the two of them worked together, one day, everything would be there.

Mao Dong's monthly expenses are relatively unfixed, mainly to invite customers to dinner, as well as to pay wages to the company's employees, in comparison, Liang Ju is much less.

In the past, she would buy shoes and clothes for two people every month, or buy a bag or cosmetics for herself from time to time, but now, she has decided to buy new clothes every three months instead of buying new clothes every month, and she will not use those big brands of cosmetics, but change to ordinary brands. Once, Mao Dong found that she mailed to her home obviously less, so he asked her if there was something wrong, Liang Ju said: "She has found such a good man, who is she dressed up so beautiful?" ”

Mao Dong felt that saving money to buy a house should be his responsibility, and since then he will give Liang Ju a sum of money every month, saying that it is the family's monthly expenses, and let Liang Ju buy clothes for himself with the remaining money, Liang Ju knows that Mao Dong does not want to see her save money and wronged herself, although she agrees to come down, but in fact she always secretly saves money.

The days passed like this, during which Liang Ju went home a few times, her parents were very cold, and she didn't want to stay longer, so she put down the things she bought and left.

And Mao Dong always carries Liang Ju on his back to visit Liang's father and Liang's mother, not only will he buy a lot of things, but sometimes when the company's business is good, he will secretly put the money under the coffee table in the living room of the Liang family.

Winter goes to spring, and in a blink of an eye, the tail of spring is about to slip away, ushering in the hot summer of Qihai City.

Since the sale of Beixing, Ah Yuan and Mao Dong have not been in contact as often as before, Mao Dong knows the reason for the estrangement between him and him, and sometimes he also asks about Ah Yuan from Shapena.

Unlike Sharpe, A-Yuan has his own thoughts, but he never speaks them and always keeps his mind in mind.

So when A-Yuan suddenly went to the company to find Mao Dong, Mao Dong was not a little surprised.

"Brother Dong, do you have time?" Ah Yuan looks a lot thinner, and his hair is much shorter than before.

"Go to my office." Mao Dong asked the front desk to bring a pot of tea, closed the office door, and the two of them sat at opposite ends of the sofa.

Ah Yuan looked at Mao Dong's office, and Mao Dong saw that he had some unspeakable appearance.

Poured a cup of slightly hot tea and handed it to Ah Yuan, who took it and took a sip.

"Brother Dong." After a long time, Ah Yuan spoke, "Can you lend me some money?" ”

"How much?"

Mao Dong's directness made A-Yuan hesitate. "A million."

Mao Dong did not directly refuse, nor did he agree.

He leaned back on the back of the sofa and raised his eyes to stare at Ah Yuan, who had to say what the money was for under Mao Dong's scrutiny.

"A few days ago, one of my buddies sued me that the boss of North Star was going to sell North Star."

"A million?"

Ah Yuan's jaw head.

"You want to coil it down?" Mao Dong then asked.

"Hmm."

"For whom?"

Ah Yuan stopped and looked away from Mao Dong's gaze. He picked up the tea that had just arrived on the table and drank it in one gulp, but he forgot the temperature of the tea and almost burned it.

Seeing A-Yuan's embarrassing state, Mao Dong took the initiative to refill him with another cup of tea.

"Brother." Ah Yuan asked, "What are you doing to Sister Ling?"

"A-Yuan." Mao Dong preemptively said: "I'm with Liang Ju." ”

He seemed to be reminding him.

"Brother, are you really going to marry her? Can you ignore Sister Ling's treatment of you?"

The teacup was put on the glass coffee table by Mao Dong's 'bang', with dissatisfaction, Mao Dong's face was slightly angry, and said: "Zhong Ling's side, if you have time, go and see her more, I can help, I will naturally help." ”

"Brother, what do you mean by that? You don't care about Sister Ling? ”

"Until she has a family again, I have a responsibility to take care of her, but only as a friend."

Ah Yuan looked at Mao Dong with puzzlement and disappointment, he got up from the sofa, "Just because I didn't come to you today, Beixing and I borrowed money to buy it myself, so you can live a good life with that Liang Ju." ”

He was about to leave with his feet up, but Mao Dong didn't stop him, listening to the door of the office being pushed open and slammed shut.

How many people will understand his mind?

***

"You said you wanted to sell the car?"

In the afternoon of the same day, Mao Dong went to find Shi Bowen, and he wanted to sell the brand new BMW.

"It's definitely not going to sell at the cost price, but you can sell as much as you can for me, the more the better."

Seeing that Mao Dongfeng was in such a hurry to sell the car, Shi Bowen asked suspiciously: "You need money urgently?" ”

Mao Dong sat opposite him, raised his eyes, and his dark eyes were bloodshot.

He bowed, "I want to buy the North Star back." ”

"Are you really?" Shi Bowen bowed, his expression serious, "Does that Liang Ju in your family know?" ”

Looking at Mao Dong's demeanor, Shi Bowen can guess the result. "I can help you find a way to sell the car at a good price, but are you sure you don't have to negotiate with your family about this?"

Mao Dong put his hands on his knees, muttered for a long time, and replied, "She can understand." ”

"Hey, I said buddy, you really don't understand women." Shi Bowen put his arm on Mao Dong's shoulder, "You said some time ago that the two of you plan to get married and save money to buy a house, so it's definitely not cheap to buy a bar, what about the house money?" ”

"I can earn it again."

"If I were your woman, I wouldn't want you. You can spend all the money for the wedding room for other women, what am I going to do with you? ”

Mao Dong's brows furrowed slightly, Shi Bowen knew that he was talking about his weakness, and hurriedly withdrew his arm.

Mao Dong turned his head to look at Shi Bowen, "I am ashamed of Zhong Ling, she sold Beixing to help me, and now I have the responsibility to help her buy it back." The money for the house can be earned again, and if North Star is bought by someone else, it will not be able to buy it back. ”

"Brother, you always say that you are ashamed of Zhong Ling, it is nothing more than your eldest brother who you harmed"

Shi Bowen is a straight gut, and sometimes he doesn't speak through his brain, especially to his brother. Now he blurted out, and only when the words came out did he realize that what he said was inappropriate.

Mao Dong put the car keys on Shi Bowen's desk. "The car is handed over to you."

"Hey!" Shi Bowen wanted to apologize, but when he shouted, he saw that Mao Dong didn't look back and only waved his hand at him, so that's it.

This brother has too much burden on his shoulders, and sometimes even he can't bear to see the haggard in his eyes.

Yu Yanjie had a good internship in Sun Xiaoshou's Taobao store, and she also invested some shares and became a minority shareholder.

At noon, Yu Yanjie went to the neighborhood to pick up the goods, and by the way, she made an appointment with Liang Ju for dinner, the two good sisters have not seen each other for many days, and they have endless words to say when they meet.

Yu Yanjie specially took a white suit from the store and gave it to Liang Ju, "This is my favorite dress we have, you look thinner than me, you must look good when you pass it on." ”

The suit is decent, can be cut and sewn, and it belongs to the high-end, Liang Ju once saw a colleague buy one, and it costs hundreds of yuan on the market.

"Oh Jiejie, it's different to be the boss, I'll accept it, thank you."

"What kind of boss lady, you haven't written the eight characters yet."

A few days ago, Sun Xiaoshou specially called Liang Ju to tell her that he was officially with Yu Yanjie, in order to thank her for being a little matchmaker, he must invite Liang Ju when he has time.

"What's the matter, is he good to you, if he bullies you, you can sue me and see how I clean him up." Liang Ju asked Yu Yanjie, and finally rolled up his sleeves as if he was worried that his daughter would be angry.

Yu Yanjie smiled, "How dare he bully me, I bullied him almost the same." In the store all day, he didn't let me do anything, I was almost idle, and today it happened that he had something to do, so I ran out to get the goods. ”

"Yo, if someone loves you so much, you can steal the fun."

The two of them ate Western food, and each of them ordered a steak set, and as soon as the meal was served, Liang Ju couldn't help but gobble it up.

"Kid, you haven't eaten in the morning?"

Liang Ju stuffed several steaks into his mouth and said vaguely, "Lose weight." ”

"Lose weight? Subtract it and you're gone! Yu Yanjie looked at Liang Ju, reached out and looked at her chin left and right, "Is he mentally violent to you?" ”

'Snap', Liang Ju knocked off Yu Yanjie's paw on her face, "What nonsense?" ”

"I haven't seen you for a few days, how did you lose weight like this, and you don't have any flesh on your face."

"It's all said, I lose weight."

"Hurry up, what the hell is going on?"

Liang Ju bit the steak, looked left and right at the restaurant and no one noticed her, stretched out her head to Yu Yanjie and laughed softly: "I and Mao Dong are getting married!" ”

"Really!" Compared with her, Yu Yanjie's voice was a few decibels higher.

After seeing the sideways glances of the people around her, Yu Yanjie hurriedly covered her mouth and whispered to Liang Ju: "When?" ”

"Initially, it's set for three years."

"Why three years later?"

"We have to save up to buy a house, and we don't want to have a burden after marriage." Liang Ju cut the steak and said, "So I have to save money now, save up for the down payment first, and then take out a loan and then the two of us will continue to work hard." ”

"Your salary is not high now, how can you save?"

"In addition to the necessary monthly expenses, such as the rental fee of the house or something, you must spend, and the rest can be saved."

"So you didn't even eat breakfast?"

"No, Mao Dong didn't let me save money at home, so I could only save money behind his back outside. I rarely buy clothes or anything, and my spending on lunch will never exceed 8 yuan, and I believe that according to my current consumption, I will soon be able to save up for a down payment on the house. ”

Although she couldn't understand Liang Ju's attitude towards feelings, Yu Yanjie still had to be happy for her.

After all, Liang Ju already has a goal of happiness.

"Orange, you must be happy, I am really happy for you." Yu Yanjie picked up the juice towards Liang Ju.

"Hehe, don't worry, I will be happy, and so will you!"

Liang Ju's graduation certificate was obtained at the end of June, and in July, she officially signed a contract with the company, changing from the original intern to a probationary employee, and the salary was higher than before.

In order to tell Mao Dong such good news as soon as possible, Liang Ju went to the vegetable market after work to buy vegetables and ran home.

As a result, Mao Dong actually arrived at home before her.

"Why are you so early today?" Liang Ju was a little surprised when he saw that Mao Dong was at home and was still cooking dinner in the kitchen. "Is the company okay today?" After changing his shoes, Liang Ju went directly to the kitchen without even putting his bag and ate a bite of the stewed potatoes made by Mao Dong.

Mao Dong smiled lightly, "Shi Bowen helped me sell the car in the afternoon, and I went through the formalities." ”

"The car is sold? Why are you selling a car? Before the meat on Liang Ju's chopsticks was put in his mouth, he heard such an abrupt news.

Seeing her stunned, Mao Dong realized that Shi Bowen's previous sentence was really right.

He really doesn't seem to understand women's hearts and Liang Ju.

He confessed to Liang Ju: "The current boss of North Star wants to pour out North Star, I think."

"You're saying you want to buy the North Star?" Liang Ju looked at Mao Dong with some incredulity, "What about the money we used to buy a house?" Don't buy it? ”

"It's not that I don't buy it. It's just that it has to be delayed. ”

Liang Ju didn't say anything, just looked at him for a moment.

She put the chopsticks down, but the meat was still not eaten.

"Liang Ju" Liang Ju was stopped by Mao Dong, she turned around and wanted to hear his explanation, but he had a hard time.

Mao Dong took the dish and said to her slowly: "Let's eat, I made your favorite dish." ”

"I'm tired and want to rest."

Looking at her slender back, Mao Dong pursed his lips and kept standing in place, and the dishes he prepared in his hands were still in his hands.

When he slept at night, Liang Ju kept his back to Mao Dong, and on the double bed, there was always a gap between the two.

All night, Liang Ju didn't fall asleep much, she turned over, although Mao Dong didn't move, she could feel that he didn't fall asleep either.

I don't know how long, when Liang Ju was faintly asleep, she heard a sigh, and it was this sigh, like a hammer, smashing into her heart.

Liang Ju woke up first in the morning, she was going to work, Mao Dong wanted to get up and make breakfast for her, but Liang Ju refused.

"It's all my savings." She placed her □□ on the dining table in the living room.

"I'm not going to use your money." Mao Dong refused to accept it.

"Aren't we all the same money? I just want to finish what you want to do quickly, and then save up to buy a house and get married. ”

Mao Dong knows Liang Ju's personality, although sometimes what she says makes people feel that she is still angry, but in his heart, he also knows that she feels sorry for him and is afraid that he will work too hard to deal with alone.

***

Liang Ju's unit is going to hold a customer appreciation meeting in Shanghai, and Liang Ju and several colleagues have to go together for at least five days. The notice was only given on an ad hoc basis, and Liang Ju was not prepared to go there, but a colleague had something at home that he couldn't go, so Liang Ju could only be used as a substitute to complete the list of employees on a business trip.

On the plane in the evening, Liang Ju went home in the afternoon to pack his luggage. Mao Dong has often had a bad phone signal in the suburbs these days, and since Liang Ju knew that Mao Dong was going to buy Beixing, there seemed to be a veil between the two of them, Liang Ju thought, it would be good for her to go out for a few days, so she should relax.

After packing her luggage, Liang Ju left a note and put it on the dining table in the living room, it was a colleague who drove her back, and she was embarrassed to make her wait for a long time, so she hurried downstairs.

The colleague who sent Liang Ju back was named Fang Weiqi, who was the leader of Liang Ju's group.

Fang Weiqi is thirty-three years old, a native of Beijing, divorced, a little fat, but he looks delicate, and he wears glasses.

Seeing Liang Ju come out, he quickly got out of the car and reached out to carry the luggage for Liang Ju.

"Thank you, it's actually not sinking, I can do it alone." Liang Ju said.

"It's okay, the man must be stronger than you." Fang Weiqi drives a brown Passat, which he is said to have bought after his divorce.

Fang Weiqi got into the car, and Liang Ju also accompanied him.

The car drove directly to the airport, and it happened to meet the road repair on the way, and the car was pressed for a while.

Fang Weiqi is a northerner, with a straightforward personality, looking at the road conditions are not very good, and Liang Ju in the car does not seem to be in a good mood, so he turned on the radio in the car and tuned to a radio station that broadcasts pop songs.

Fang Weiqi rolled down the window glass, and a warm hot wind hit his face.

"Your home is too far away from the company, is it convenient to go to work?" Fang Weiqi lit a cigarette and asked Liang Ju.

"This is the house I rented, and when I buy a house in the future, I should buy it in the city."

"You're not going to get married, are you?" Fang Weiqi's tone sounded surprised.

"What, is it a surprise?"

Fang Weiqi smiled, "No, I just think that you have just graduated and are about to get married, which is not quite in line with the character of your generation of young people." ”

Liang Ju snorted and laughed, and Fang Weiqi said again: "Marriage is a big deal, don't be like me, it only lasted for half a year and then left." ”

Liang Ju gradually smiled, with a complicated expression on his face, Fang Weiqi changed the topic, "I have a new house in the city, and I have been trying to sell it in the past few years, if you really want to buy a house, you can go and see it, and I guarantee to give you the lowest price." ”

"Okay."

When she arrived in Shanghai, it was already night, and Liang Ju had been turning off the plane on the plane, and as soon as she got off the plane, she felt a wave of heat rushing towards her.

She turned on her phone and received a message from Mao Dong.

"The temperature in Shanghai is hot and humid, pay attention to heat prevention. When will you come back tell me in advance, I'll pick you up. ”

Noticing that the time of sending the message was two hours ago, Liang Ju thought about it and did not immediately reply to the text message.

The hotel is still a certain distance from the airport, in the car, the company manager distributed the relevant documents from the business trip to everyone, Liang Ju took the information and read it, and found that most of the content of the meeting was held in a hotel called Bai Siwei.

"It is said that the owner of this hotel is surnamed Bai, and he is very fat!" A colleague said.

"You're talking about his brother, they are brothers, and the younger brother is much more handsome than the elder brother. I have a sister who works in a club in Shanghai, and she has shown me many photos of the rich second generation who are famous in Shanghai. ”

"What was his brother's name last time?" A female colleague with glasses asked, sticking her head out.

"It's called Bai Si, that face looks like, hey, it's really heart-wrenching!"

There was a burst of laughter in the car, but Liang Ju seemed to wake up from the hot and humid air.

The female colleague continued, in a tone of regret, "It's a pity, one leg is lame." ”

Liang Ju clearly felt that he was completely awake.
