On Saturday morning, Yue Haohan was reading at home when he heard Teacher Wang Yuying Wang in the duty room shouting at the door, "Haohan, are you at home?" There is a package of your home. ”

Yue Haohan went to the school duty room to take back a big package, and looked at the autumn clothes that Cheng Ziying mailed to his sisters and brothers; Yue Haohan opened the package in the living room, and there were two navy blue mid-length women's autumn clothes of the same style, two women's ultra-thin cashmere sweaters, and two black trousers. There was also a bag with a jacket and a pair of jeans.

When I opened another hard box inside, I saw that it contained a black wool suit and a navy blue tie; Looking at a large pile of clothes, Yue Haohan stood in the living room and shook his head, and said in his heart: "How much does it cost Ziying to buy so many high-end clothes that Jiang ** can't see!" ”

When Yue Haohan was looking through the clothes, his mother Wang Sulan came in, saw the clothes on the sofa, and asked, "Haohan, where are so many clothes?" ”

Yue Haohan said: "Ziying mailed it and bought a set for Chunfang, Chunxia, Haojiang and me; I just got it back from the school duty room. ”

Wang Sulan took the clothes on the sofa, looked at them, and kept muttering, "Ziying, this kid is really good, how much does it cost to buy so many clothes." ”

Yue Haohan said, "Mom, how about discussing something for you?" ”

Wang Sulan looked at Yue Haohan with a questioning look and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yue Haohan replied: "Mom, Ziying is now working in the preparatory department of the Donghai Stock Exchange, and she said that the exchange will be listed before the end of the year; Ziying analyzed that stocks are a new thing in our country, and after being listed and traded, the stock will definitely rise for a while, and she borrowed all her mother's money to buy stocks. Mom, I mean how much money do you have on hand? How about we send Zi Ying to Hui and let her buy stocks? It's a lot better than what you have in the bank. ”

Wang Sulan sat on the sofa next to her, hesitated for a while, and said: "Haohan, our family has accumulated more than 30,000 yuan over the years, plus after your grandparents died, the more than 20,000 yuan to deal with the real estate in your hometown is more than 50,000 yuan, less than 60,000 yuan; I believe in Ziying's kid, but we don't know anything about stocks. ”

Yue Haohan said: "Mom, do you think this is okay?" We took out 50,000 yuan to let Ziying speculate in stocks, and the rest of the money, how about the home decoration phone next week? ”

Wang Sulan looked at Yue Haohan, looked at it for a long time, and said: "Son, according to what you say, it will hollow out our family's wealth, your two younger sisters still have to go to college, and your younger brother is still in high school, and he has no money in his hand, so I am panicking." ”

Yue Haohan said: "Mom, everything pays attention to an opportunity, I chatted with Ziying on the phone for a long time yesterday, and I have been thinking about it when I slept in bed last night, this stock is an opportunity; To put it bluntly, this is called legal speculation; The cost of my sister and younger brothers' schooling, isn't it enough for you and my father to pay for the three of us. ”

Wang Sulan thought for a while and said, "Okay, son, mom will listen to you once, when your dad comes back, let's discuss with him, tomorrow you will send 50,000 yuan to Ziying, let her buy stocks." ”

Seeing that his mother agreed, Yue Haohan smiled happily and said: "Mom, your daughter-in-law is a top student of the School of Economics of Jianghan University, your 50,000 yuan, don't wait for two years, and accidentally become 500,000 yuan, then you will become a rich woman." ”

Hearing Yue Haohan say this, Wang Sulan sighed and said, "Son, you said that you and Ziying, this child, you are so far apart, what can you do in the future; Besides, you work in the countryside, you have to think about it carefully, don't miss others. ”

"Mom, everything has to look forward, our current separation is temporary, and sooner or later we will be reunited; I always believe that as long as two people's hearts are together, everything else is a small problem. Yue Haohan spoke, walked out of the living room, Wang Sulan sat on the sofa, looking at Yue Haohan's back and was stunned.

Near noon, Yue Chunfang, Yue Chunxia, and Yue Haojiang all returned home; Yue Chunxia first saw the clothes on the sofa, ran over excitedly, took out a navy blue middle-length women's autumn dress, and tried it on her body, "Sister, take a look, who bought the clothes, is it appropriate?" Did Sister Ziyan buy it in Jianghan, we don't have such clothes in Jiangyang. ”

Yue Haohan, who came back from outside, looked at the clothes Yue Chunxia was wearing, and quipped: "Chunxia, after you put on these clothes, you won't look like a girl from our Jiangyang, like a big city." ”

Yue Chunxia said: "That's right, I'm going to a big city soon; Brother, who bought the clothes? It's so fitting. ”

Yue Haohan said: "If you look at the mailing address, you will know that it was your sister Ziying who mailed it from the East China Sea, saying that it was to congratulate the two of you on being admitted to university." ”

Yue Chunfang interjected: "Brother, Sister Ziying hasn't seen us again, how can the clothes fit so well!" We thought it was Sister Ziyan who bought it. ”

Yue Haohan said: "I sent a group photo of our family to Sister Ziying, she must have bought it with reference to your figure in the photo; This time in Jianghan, you will have the opportunity to meet your sister Ziying. ”

Yue Chunxia looked at Yue Haohan mischievously and asked, "Brother, is it Sister Ziying or Sister Ziyan!" ”

"It's all good!" Yue Haohan glared at Yue Chunxia, then said to Yue Haojiang, "Haojiang, you also put it on and try it on, do it fit well?" After speaking, Yue Haohan went to the kitchen.

After lunch, Yue Haohan told his mother that he was going to pick up Deng Xuanfa to eat at home in the evening, and asked his mother to prepare an order; Then I turned on the TV in the living room and sat and watched it.

The TV was playing the theme song of the 11th Asian Games "Asian Heroes" sung by Wei Wei, and at the end of the song, a Tibetan girl dressed in a light blue Tibetan costume appeared on the TV, passing the flame to sports star Li Ning. The subtitle on the TV was typed below, "The 11th Asian Games will be held in BJ from September 22 to October 7, 1990. Yue Haohan watched the TV for a while, and felt a little sleepy, so he got up and turned off the TV and went to the bedroom for a lunch break.

After sleeping until more than three o'clock before waking up, Yue Haohan lay on the bed, looked at the watch on his wrist, turned over and got out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, and went out towards Yangjiang Hotel.

When he arrived at the door of room 501 of Yangjiang Hotel, seeing that the door was closed, Yue Haohan knocked on the door, but there was no movement; He knocked twice with more force, but there was still no movement, Yue Haohan said in his heart: "Township Chief Deng doesn't seem to be in the room, so he probably went out to run errands." After hesitating, Yue Haohan went downstairs towards the Jiangyang County Transportation Bureau.

When I arrived at the Transportation Bureau, I saw a man of about fifty in the duty room on the first floor, reading the newspaper, Yue Haohan knocked on the door and asked, "Comrade, let me ask what floor is Director Ma Minggangma's office?" ”

The man, putting down the newspaper in his hand, looked up at Yue Haohan, and replied, "Go up to the second floor, the office in the innermost part of the corridor is Director Ma's office. Yue Haohan said thank you and walked towards Ma Minggang's office on the second floor.

Arriving at the innermost part of the second floor, the door was facing an office in the corridor, Yue Haohan knocked on the door twice, and heard the inside say, "Please come in." Yue Haohan pushed open the door and saw that the office was full of smoke, Ma Minggang was sitting at the desk, Deng Xuanfa and Jin Xiaoqiang were sitting on the sofa, and the three of them were smoking and chatting with a cigarette in their hands.

Yue Haohan walked into the office with a smile and said, "Director Ma, your office has become a smoking place, the three of you smoke guns together, smoke at each other, see who is powerful, and you are not afraid of harmful health." ”

Ma Minggang laughed twice and said, "Xiaoyue, sit down, the three of us were still talking about you just now; It's really Cao Cao Cao, how did you find here? ”

Yue Haohan sat down next to Deng Xuanfa and said, "I went to room 501 of Yangjiang Hotel just now to find Township Chief Deng, he was not here, I thought that there was nothing else to do in the afternoon, so I came to you." ”

Jin Xiaoqiang, who was next to him, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table and took out one, handed it to Yue Haohan, and said, "Haohan, how about you smoke one too?" Yue Haohan smiled, shook his hand, and said, "Brother Xiaoqiang, I won't know this, let's save one for you." ”

Ma Minggang took a puff of cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and said: "Xiaoyue, although this smoking is harmful to health, people often say that 'cigarettes are a letter of introduction, and wine is a stepping stone'. ”

Yue Haohan smiled and said, "Director Ma, I know a little bit about the etiquette at the wine table, I haven't heard of it, this smoking also pays attention to etiquette?" It seems that we, a country of etiquette in China, have to make a number of etiquette for everything. Director Ma, tell me, what is the emphasis on smoking? ”

Ma Minggang smiled, pressed the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray on the desk, and said: "Xiaoyue, although smoking is harmful to health, in modern social communication, cigarettes are still frequently used, and cigarettes are used to convey the wish of mutual compliments. In social situations, handing out cigarettes, lighting cigarettes, and borrowing fire from others are all exquisite.

When you hand the cigarette to the other party, you should open the cigarette pack, pop out several sticks, expose the upper half, and take out one by the other party. If you are at home, you can put it in the box and let the other person pick it up, and wait for the other person to take out a cigarette to smoke.

If you're a non-smoker, you just shake your hand slightly and say, 'Thank you, I won't,' and the other person shouldn't force it. When a man greets a woman, if he doesn't know if the other person can smoke, he doesn't have to hand her the cigarette, and if the other person can smoke, he may as well hand it over.

If several people light a cigarette at the same time, the younger one should be the one for the older one, the man should be the one for the woman first, and the host should be for the guest. A match lit two cigarettes and then they had to be extinguished. If you use a lighter, it should be extinguished after lighting two, and you must not point it three times in a row.

Why can't you dot three times in a row? There is a theory that in 1899, Britain and the Netherlands were at war for the colony of South Africa. At that time, there were no modern weapons, so snipers with rifles showed their might. At night, many soldiers are often shot dead by the opposing side for smoking to expose their targets, and the dead are mostly the ones who light a third cigarette. Therefore, they consider it unlucky to light a third cigarette for a friend or for themselves.

In addition, the old people borrow fire from the younger ones, and the older people can light the fire first, and then the young people take the lit matches and light their own cigarettes; The man borrows fire from the woman, and the woman does not have to light the fire for him, but just hands him a match or a lighter; A woman borrowing fire from a man, whether the man is older or not, should not take the burning match from his hand, but the man should strike the match or light the lighter, and the woman should lean over and set it on fire.

When borrowing fire, you should take the cigarette off your mouth, and when you take the other person's lighter, you should put the cigarette in your mouth. When someone lights a cigarette for themselves, they should generally say thank you softly. ”

Listening to what Ma Minggang said so much, Yue Haohan smiled and sighed, "Oh my God! There are so many particularities and taboos about a small cigarette, it seems that I am right not to smoke, so as not to offend people when I smoke. ”

Deng Xuanfa smiled and said, "How can people who are addicted to smoking still pay so much attention!" If you are addicted to smoking, take it out and smoke, when have you ever seen Chen Guoyun and Secretary Chen pay attention to smoking? ”

Ma Minggang smiled and said: "Secretary Chen is a soldier, and he knows no details. Yue Haohan took Ma Minggang's words and asked, "Director Ma, will you go to Jianghan on Monday?" ”

Ma Minggang said: "It's decided, Secretary Chen, Township Chief Deng, you plus me, just a few of us; Xiaoqiang also wanted to go, but Secretary Chen didn't name him, so he didn't go. ”

Yue Haohan said: "My two younger sisters started school on September 5th, I want them to be together, I don't know if the car can sit down?" Also comes with something. ”

Ma Minggang said: "No problem, Secretary Chen has a car, our Transportation Bureau also sent a car, my car will pick you up at County No. 1 Middle School on Monday, and Township Chief Deng can take Secretary Chen's car." ”

Yue Haohan smiled and said, "Then I will replace my two younger sisters, thank you Director Ma!" ”

Ma Minggang said: "Xiaoyue, you're welcome! In addition, I discussed with Township Chief Deng just now, and the cost of going to Jianghan this time will first come out of Xiaoqiang's comprehensive planning unit, and I will help him get some funds when I have the opportunity in the future. ”

When the four of them were chatting in Ma Minggang's office until they were about to get off work, Yue Haohan said: "Director Ma, let's go to my house for dinner in the evening, I have already told my mother at noon." ”

Ma Minggang said: "I'll pick you up and Township Chief Deng in the evening, today is just Saturday, or we will call Captain Ning and your brother Jianming, how about we go to eat the stall?" ”

Yue Haohan said: "It is estimated that my mother has prepared it at home, so I will make a call and tell the family." As he spoke, Yue Haohan came to Ma Minggang's desk and called Teacher Wang in the school's duty room.
