Chapter 19: The Enlightened Father
Meng Dongyao's eldest son is named Meng Guoyi, fourteen years older than Meng Songhai, after graduating from high school, he joined the army and enlisted in the army, served as a soldier for two years, and after being discharged from the army, his family trusted a relationship, and he entered the Beijing Iron and Steel Company to drive a truck.
Meng Guoyi's wife, Xu Qiuju, also works at Jinggang and is an accountant.
Xu Qiuju's parents are old employees of Jinggang Company, now retired, they have two daughters, the eldest daughter married to Tianjin, Meng Guoyi's son is surnamed Meng, so he is not a son-in-law, but he lives close to his father-in-law and mother-in-law's family, and there are more contacts, and his son Meng Shengyuan, who is in elementary school, is usually taken care of by his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Meng Guoyi's home is a little far away from Panjiayuan Road, and usually, when Meng Dongyao asks Meng Guoyi to go home, he will call the other party's unit.
Knowing that his father had called his eldest brother, Meng Songhai smiled and said, "Okay." On Sunday, I invited the eldest sister's family and the second sister's family to come over, and everyone was lively, and by the way, I told them about selling the Jade Buddha to make money, and buying colored diamonds. When selling colored diamonds, I need to ask them for help. ”
"Your eldest sister and second sister's family, you go over and invite it in person."
"No problem." Meng Songhai said a word in Cantonese.
"What kind of bird language do you say?" Meng Dongyao smiled, "It's Cantonese, right?" ”
"It's Cantonese. After selling colored diamonds, I am going to go to Yangcheng and Shencheng to increase my knowledge. ”
"It's fine. Although Yanjing is the capital and the best place, but now that the reform and opening up has begun, there is a new atmosphere in the deep city of the Special Economic Zone. ”
"Dad, you're pretty open-minded!"
"You'll find out now." Meng Dongyao said with a smile.
"I'll cook today."
"Okay, you should learn to cook, too. Be able to cook a good dish and be a good daughter-in-law. ”
"Good cooking, when did it become a must for an unmarried man to marry a wife?!" Meng Songhai pretended to be surprised.
"Skills are not pressing!"
At noon that day, Meng Dongyao tasted the dishes made by Meng Songhai, and was very surprised, although the young son had cooked several times and barely passed, he did not expect the young son's cooking skills to become so exquisite, and encouraged him, and said that he would let him cook more in the future.
The original Meng Songhai did not have any cooking skills at all, but he now has the memories of the other nine people, although these memories are not complete, but three of them have good cooking skills, and their cooking skills have been completely inherited by Meng Songhai.
In the evening of this day, Meng Songhai went out to shop again, in order not to waste the opportunity to use the "Wisdom Treasure" twice a day, he used the remaining opportunity on a Xuande furnace, after his naked eye judgment, he felt that it was a real Xuande furnace, but after identification, it was an imitation of the Guangxu period, he felt that the price was a little higher, and finally chose to give up.
Although he didn't buy a real Xuande furnace, Meng Songhai bought three seals, one for Tianhuangshi and two for bloodstone, which cost a total of thirty yuan, and he felt that he had picked up a big bargain.
Back downstairs, Meng Songhai met his second brother who had just come home from work.
"Second brother, it's time to get off work." Meng Songhai greeted.
"It's time to get off work." Meng Guoqiang smiled, "Where did you go?" ”
"I'll tell you when I get home."
Back at home, Mengsong Customs closed the door and said with a smile: "Second brother, I have made a fortune." ”
"Found a gold ingot?" Meng Guoqiang joked.
"So to speak."
"Really?" Meng Guoqiang said curiously, "Tell me in detail." ”
"That's right, just the day before yesterday, I came home from the hospital, after breakfast, I went out shopping, and bought a purple clay pot from a second-class dealer, and not long after I bought it, someone bought the purple clay pot from me at a higher price, guess how much I earned?"
"Don't sell it, I can't guess." Meng Guoqiang smiled.
"Earned nine hundred."
"That's a lot?!" Meng Guoqiang was surprised, "How much did it cost?" ”
"Thirty."
"Spend thirty, earn nine hundred...... Thirty times the profit! Meng Guoqiang didn't believe Meng Songhai's words very much, "Little Wuzi, are you kidding?" ”
Meng Donghai walked out of the bedroom and said with a smile: "Little fifth son, don't show it off in front of your second brother." ”
"Dad, how can I show off, I'm telling the truth."
Seeing that his father did not refute Meng Songhai's words, Meng Guoqiang was basically sure that his younger brother was not lying, and he said with a smile: "Little fifth son, you have made so much money...... Buy good food for your family every day. ”
"That's all you want?"
"And what more could I ask for?" Meng Guoqiang smiled and asked, "If you earn nine thousand...... I asked you to borrow money and buy a motorcycle, would you like to? ”
"It's a little bit worse!" Meng Songhai sighed lightly, still with a smile on his face, "I earned six thousand five hundred and fifty yuan." ”
"What?" Meng Guoqiang's eyes widened, with a look of surprise on his face, "Really? ”
"I also have a diamond ring worth more than 100,000 yuan in my hand."
“……”
Meng Guoqiang was stunned, the joy on his face became less, he began to doubt what Meng Songhai said, and after a while, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Little Wuzi, you are joking, it's too big." Dad, Xiao Wuzi is so bragging, you don't care about him. ”
"What Xiao Wuzi said, it is really possible to come true." Meng Dongyao smiled.
"Ah......" Meng Guoqiang opened his mouth wide, was stunned for a long time, and smiled excitedly, "Little Wuzi, quickly show me the diamond ring you said." ”
"Wait a minute."
Meng Songhai walked into his bedroom, opened the drawer, stretched out his right hand into the drawer, and took out the diamond ring from the Qiankun ring.
Back in the living room, Meng Songhai handed the diamond ring to Meng Guoqiang.
Meng Guoqiang took the diamond ring, looked at it twice, and asked curiously: "Diamonds have yellow?" ”
"Diamonds come in many colors, and colored diamonds are much rarer than colorless diamonds. ”
"Oh!" Meng Guoqiang nodded as if he didn't understand, lowered his head, looked at it a few more times, and asked with a smile, "Little Wuzi, did you buy this diamond ring?" How much did it cost? ”
"It cost one hundred and sixty bucks to buy it. The person who sold the ring thought that the gemstone set on the ring was an ordinary gemstone. I discussed it with my dad and told the public that this diamond ring is a family heirloom in our family. ”
"That's good, you can avoid trouble." Meng Guoqiang smiled, "You said that the diamond ring can be sold for 100,000 yuan, it really sells for so much money, can I ask you to borrow money to buy a motorcycle?" ”
"Second brother, don't worry about buying a motorcycle first, don't you want to buy a house by yourself?"
"Buying a house?" Meng Guoqiang was stunned for a moment, "It's very expensive to buy a commercial house by yourself...... I'm waiting for the unit to be divided. ”
"You can't wait for the unit to be divided, I hope you can resign and start your own business, financially, I can fund you."
"Doing business on my own, hehe, I'm quite interested in doing business. What do you think I should do in business? ”
"The Stamp Business."
"Doing the stamp business...... Did you make any money? ”
"No matter what kind of business, you can make money. As long as you have the capital, you are willing to work hard, and you will definitely be able to make a lot of money in the stamp business. ”
That night, after having dinner at home, Meng Songhai and Meng Guoqiang came to the second sister's house together and invited the second sister and the second brother-in-law to come to the house for lunch in a few days.
On the way home by bicycle, Meng Guoqiang asked: "Little Wuzi, go to Liulichang tomorrow, you really don't need me to accompany you?" ”
"No, you still have to go to work."
"Miner for a day, not a big problem. If that yellow gemstone is really a diamond, worth more than 100,000 yuan, you are not afraid of being deceived by others. ”
"Relax, I'm not a kid anymore." Meng Songhai smiled and said, "Second brother, to be honest, I think my mental age is older than yours. ”
"You mean more mature than I am?" Meng Guoqiang said with a smile.
"That's right!"
"Little brat!" Meng Guoqiang quipped, "When you get to the girl, talk to me about mental age." ”
At about half past nine in the morning of the next day, Meng Songhai rode his bicycle to Liulichang, parked his bicycle, and walked around the street for a while.
