Chapter 115: Charcoal in the Snow
"yes, I owe you, why don't you remember?" Wen Guang looked at her round eyes, full of puzzlement and confusion, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
He endured it, and still educated her seriously: "Xiaoyu, you can't do this, how can you not remember things in business?" You were young then, but now you can't do that. In the future, if you follow Wenhui to do business, you must learn to calculate accounts, understand statements, and calculate costs, otherwise how do you do business. ”
Chen Xiaoyu nodded again and again, but secretly slandered: "Second uncle, you are going to teach me a lesson when you say the last sentence, it can be seen that you are old, and you don't have a wife, you always like to teach people with a straight face, and your temper is getting more and more weird." ”
Wen Guang saw that although her expression was gentle and obedient, her eyes were rolling to the bone, and he knew that she must be unconvinced in her heart, but she just didn't say it.
He sighed secretly, thinking in his heart that he was young in the end, he couldn't listen to anyone's persuasion, no wonder his eldest brother and sister-in-law were not at ease, and so was Wen Hui, since she was like a share, she had to teach her hand in hand, where she could toss around, and also used her as a nanny to serve Deng Haomei's babysitter, so that no one would be happy. ”
Of course, he can't mention these words in front of Xiaoyu, so he can only slowly enlighten them in the future. He thought for a while, took out a passbook from his pocket, and handed it to Xiaoyu, "This is my debt to pay you, I have been saving it for a long time, I originally wanted to wait for you to get married, but now I see that you are in a hurry to use the money, so I will take it first, and when you get married in the future, my uncle will give you a dowry." It's still early. ”
He smiled slightly, Chen Xiaoyu's face turned red, and he muttered in a low voice, "What did Uncle say?" She opened the passbook in her hand again, and was surprised to see the number, although the money was not very much, it was enough for her to invest in shares.
She hurriedly handed the passbook to Wen Guang as if her hands were hot, "Uncle, when did you owe me money, this is not good, usually give me New Year's money, pocket money is enough, how can I ask for such a lot of money." As he spoke, he shoved the passbook into Wen Guang's hand.
Chen Wenguang looked at her a little funny, and said slowly, "You forgot, when I opened that small restaurant by the river, what did you say?" ”
Xiaoyu frowned, "How can I remember something so far ago?" ”
"You don't remember, I remember it clearly, when you said that the second uncle is going to open a store and needs help running errands, just tell me, I'll help you run errands. Remember? ”
Xiaoyu nodded, at that time, Wenguang opened the store, and he helped a little with something.
"You also said that you have to charge a service fee for running errands, and you owe it first, and when the second uncle gets rich in the future, just pay me back with interest. Now that your second uncle is rich, Liu doesn't dare to say it, but there is money to pay for this service fee, and it is not much, it was all saved one by one back then, and after so many years, it should be returned to you with interest. You say, "This is not owed to you, but what is owed to you?" ”
Xiaoyu was stunned, and in a trance remembered that in order to encourage Wenguang to find a way out and become a self-employed person, he gave him the idea of going abroad, and said something similar, but at that time it was a joke, but I didn't expect Wenguang to remember it all by one, and saved it for her. My heart hurt slightly, thinking that Wenguang has had money in the past few years, but he is very busy and very hard, opening that restaurant and dance hall, which one doesn't have to get up early and be greedy for darkness? What's more, these two businesses are mixed in the face, from government agencies to ruffians and hooligans, they all have to deal with 120,000 points of spirit, and there is no one around Wenguang who knows whether it is cold or hot, it is really not easy.
Thinking about Zhang Lihua a few days ago, she came to her mind again, and she muttered, "Second uncle, even if it is a service fee, it is not worth so much money, I was only young at the time, so I didn't help at all, besides, you haven't got a family yet, and you also need to save money." ”
"Are you still afraid that your second uncle will not have the money to marry a daughter-in-law?" Wen Guang was amused, and then said that the passbook was stuffed under Xiaoyu's pillow, "You take it, whether it is worth the money or not, it is your second uncle who has the final say, you don't have to excuse yourself, besides, our ancestors don't have a saying, the elder gives, you should not resign, you are my niece, I will give you some money as an elder, you push back and block, isn't it a loss of my face?" ”
Xiaoyu saw that he talked about this, and it would be hypocritical to excuse himself, and now he is really waiting for the money, and this money is undoubtedly a gift in the snow.
I had to say thank you and accept the money, thinking in my heart that I would repay the second uncle when I had the opportunity in the future.
Chen Wenguang asked her a little more about business, and said that there were a few of his buddies in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and he would help her urge her to get a business license tomorrow.
and solemnly admonished her, "Xiaoyu, now that you come out to do business by yourself, you must first remember, make more friends, there is nothing that cannot be done with friends, if you can't do business temporarily, you have to think about the business is not lovely, you must have a long-term vision, and you can't care about the immediate gains and losses." Do you understand? ”
Chen Xiaoyu nodded and said respectfully that she knew.
Under the light, Chen Wenguang looked at the girl in front of him, she was no longer the child with the ponytail back then, her skin was white and greasy, her eyebrows were picturesque, her eyes were wet and fresh, and she was already a beautiful big girl. After thinking about it for a while, he instructed: "Although you want to make friends, but you are a young girl, no better than us men, you must be cautious, take eyes on people, pay more attention to everything, and can't let others bully you, understand?" ”
Chen Xiaoyu nodded again and again, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
After the beginning of autumn, the weather gradually cooled down, the windows were opened in the morning and evening, and there was no hot summer, and the slightest cool breeze came in, but swept away the heat of the day.
Lao Wang, as usual, sat on the rattan chair in front of the window after dinner and read the newspaper, the evening newspaper is the evening newspaper, and it can only be delivered at five o'clock in the afternoon, and after dinner, he can see half past eight alone, and after reading it, he can wash and sleep.
Since the death of his wife, he has become very accustomed to this kind of life, what time to get up, what time to eat, what time to go out, according to the work, if there are no special circumstances, it is as regular as the hour.
The special situation is that his two little apprentices, one of whom must come to visit every week, in addition to asking questions, will also help him clean, wash clothes and buy vegetables, and clean up the old house with clean windows and spotless.
In the other three years, he came at most four or five times a year, and each time he came respectfully, he asked for warmth, but he was preoccupied, and sometimes he came in with hope, but he could not hide his disappointment and left, Lao Wang knew what he was thinking, but he didn't break it, and he didn't want to ask more about the things between the children.
But this time, it was Lao Wang who called him
When Lu Chongqing entered the door, he was wearing a long-sleeved camouflage combat uniform, and his originally fair face was smeared with a layer of brown-green oil paint, and it seemed that he had just returned from training.
As soon as he entered, he asked, "Grandpa, where is the thing?" I'll take a look first. ”
