Chapter 304: Memories of the Times
"All ready?" Qiu Yun was surprised, "The efficiency is so high? ”
"There is nothing in this world that money can't solve," Ai Lili dragged Qiu Yun aside and said, "Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men." The price you offer is so high, not to mention helping you find a husband for the dead ghost, even if you want a person/demon, I will find a way to help you get it from Thailand! Na, after the thing is over, the man has 50,000 yuan, 2,000 for each of the fake relatives and friends, and 500 for each person, don't be too expensive, pull people over for the New Year, and these people are all 'group performances' from the film and television city......"
"Actors?" Qiu Yun was dumbfounded, "You won't be recognized, will you?" ”
"It's all 'group performances'! The kind that dies after two seconds on camera," Elleli said, "They have more or less line skills, pretending to be relatives, of course, they have to memorize some 'background information', otherwise they have to go through the gangs!" It's okay for ordinary old men and old ladies to pretend to be sick and rub the bus and touch porcelain, and they are giving them the script to act, so they can't compare to these actors......"
"Okay, okay! As long as there are no problems, spending money is not a problem. ”
"It stands to reason that the wedding banquet should be paid for by the man, I will arrange this for you, I have given a deposit in the restaurant over there in the provincial capital, as for the specific table and dishes, you still take your parents to order," Ai Lili said, "I will help you get the round-trip fare or something." You can play the bride this year and the widow next year. For the sake of Xiaobing's face, I only lost 5,000 of your errand fees, of which 1,808 were given to you on the wedding day. Originally, you can not charge money for friendship, but this is the end of the year, and your wedding next year will be the first month, and it will be too unlucky to do our business, and if you have to post money backwards if you don't have input...... When you come here after the annual leave, I will invite you to eat a few big meals, and I will be responsible for the expenses in the confinement when the baby is born in the future! ”
"I know! I know! Thank you, Sister Li! You guys are so good to me! "Qiu Yun is going to start selling cuteness again.
"I'm about to be a mother/person, don't be like this!" Arily smiled and said, "Seriously, when I talked to Zhen Zhen and Crescent about you, we really admired you. Be decisive, act vigorously, and have a very strong ability to execute; Other people's daughters buy houses and cars and can't wait to pester their fathers, mothers and husbands to run all over the world, what about you, a person with a big belly to look at the house by himself, look at the car by himself, negotiate the price by himself, and transfer the house by himself, this style of doing is so likable! ”
"Wasn't I forced out too?" Qiu Yun said, "Oops! They're all in! ”
Elili said, "Let's go in too!" The two entered the door of "Cheng Kee" hand in hand, and under the guidance of the waiter, they went to the large private room on the second floor, where a large round table had been placed, and everyone was arranging seats on the ground where you pushed me. In the end, Shuai Xiaobing and Lin Xuefei were the largest today, and the main seat was left to them, but at the insistence of Shuai Xiaobing, Gao Guizhi was still allowed to sit in the first seat, and the rest of the people sat down in turn.
After sitting down, everyone chatted, and Shuai Xiaobing realized that before Qin Bo arrived, this room was full of women except for himself. "Huh? What about Juntao? Didn't you just see him coming by car? Shuai Xiaobing asked.
"He's going to pick up the plane with Vika," Shi Xiuzhu said, "I also have nothing to do with this younger brother, and it is a big deal for the two of you to get the certificate......
"It's also a big deal to greet my father-in-law!" Shuai Xiaobing immediately said, "It doesn't matter whose son-in-law it is, when you hear that your father-in-law is coming, why don't you hurry over?" ”
Everyone laughed.
"Oh, my brother!" Shi Xiuzhu shook her head, "It's also that I used to spoil him too much and be lawless." Fei Fei's matter is also a loss to Fei Fei to think about it, and if she is someone else, she has to find the Shi family to earn this face back! Tell me, he's a kid, let him go abroad to learn those fashion designs, but he spent the first two years drinking and fooling around over there, and the last two years he actually went to other people's auto repair companies to learn auto repair! Those men say it's called modification, but I think it's a car repairer! Are the auto repair schools in China inferior to those in Europe? Really! ”
Lin Xuefei said: "Actually, Juntao is also a very good person. The main reason is that he was too serious in high school, so his grades are very bad in everyone's impression, but everyone knows that it is only the total score...... Juntao's single subject results are not bad...... The most important thing in learning modification is layout design, which covers a lot of knowledge, but it is Juntao's specialty......"
Alili also nodded: "Yes, yes, yes!" Although it is illegal to do this in China, as long as there is no big incident, everyone is generally in charge, Juntao really wants to do it, so he will build an auto repair factory in China! Anyway, the Shi family is not bad for money, Juntao usually modifies it by himself and plays by himself? Besides, after a few years, the management model of 'Rongze' has taken shape, and the power of the boss and the boss is separated, so your brother can't play as much as he wants? It's all such an adult, let her go! At least he's been in Europe for two years, and his foreign language skills should be good, right? ”
Shi Xiuzhu smiled bitterly: "I just said that people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away, right?" Spent so much money in two years in Europe, just for foreign languages? Look at the little soldier, how long has it been since he learned on his own, and the foreign language level is called a slippery ......"
"yes, yes! The soldier's foreign language level has really 'slipped away' home! Qin Yue couldn't help but praise, "A few days ago, I asked Xiaobing to give those new employees a dismissal, guess what?" This kid's oral level is really amazing, I thought I was good enough to speak, but I didn't expect to almost be able to keep up with his rhythm! Those newcomers were so scared that they didn't even hold the spoon! After eating, he asked me if the little soldier was really a porter! This is not just someone outside the world, it is simply so handsome that there are no friends, okay? ”
"Who is so handsome that they have no friends? Did I say that? The door of the private room opened, and Qin Bo stood at the door with a smile.
"Brother!" "Third brother!" "Mr. Qin!" Everyone stood up in unison.
Qin Bo first smiled at everyone, then held back his smile, walked up to Gao Guizhi and helped Gao Guizhi and said, "Aunt Gui, sit down, don't break my life!" ”
The whole box was silent. Qin Bo actually knows Gao Guizhi? Shuai Xiaobing looked at Lin Xuefei in surprise, and Lin Xuefei also shook his head slightly, indicating that he never knew. For a moment, everyone looked at each other. Qin Bo helped Gao Guizhi to sit down, and everyone sat down with a confused face. Qin Bo looked at everyone's blank eyes and explained: "Crescent Moon, do you remember that my brother told you that our family had a very difficult life when we were children......
"Ahh Remember! I've heard you and your parents say it! When Qin Yue heard this, she immediately recalled, "But I wasn't born at that time...... Yes! Could it be that you keep mentioning 'Aunt Gui'......"
Qin Bo smiled: "Of course you weren't born!" At that time, I was a bare-bottomed kid in the summer and a runny nose in the winter! Aunt Gui is not married yet, and she works in the canteen of the old mine......"
Like the Shuai family, the old Qin family is not a prominent family. However, the old Qin family has been engaged in an ancient profession for generations: river workers. Qin Bo can't tell from which generation the old Qin family has relied on the river to eat, but Qin Bo's father vaguely said that the Qin family was moved here from Guanzhong when Emperor Yang of Sui opened the canal, and then worked as a river worker for generations. Anyone who knows a little bit of history understands that river workers are much more miserable than those who farm land among the "people", and the Qin family has stumbled and lived by this canal for I don't know how many years and how many emperors have changed.
Qin Bo was born in an era when all people memorized "quotation books", and "quotation books" were textbooks. In Qin Bo's memory, "poverty" is all the memories of that era. Although they are in the urban area, according to the household registration, their family is not counted as the urban quantitative household registration (friends who don't understand this term can ask the elders in the family), and they can't eat "imperial grain" without a quantitative household registration; However, the Qin family has no land, the land is collective, and the grain produced must be handed over to the public, and once the collective cultivated land of the canal is "per capita", it will be pitiful, and the family's food will be very problematic.
When Qin Bo was very young, he carried a basket around all day long, the basket could hold cow dung, cut pigweed, and the basket could pick up cinders. However, for such an old child, it was almost impossible to run from the canal to the train station and then come back with dozens of pounds of things, because at that time it was generally impossible to eat, and it was still difficult for skinny adults to do this, let alone children!
Fortunately, the canal is not far from the mine. Get up early in the morning and set off from home, and walk for more than an hour to reach the old mine. The mine canteen is a little closer. The mine is a state-owned enterprise and a key national unit, and the miners have relatively high physical requirements, so the food in the mine canteen is already a paradise on earth compared to the farmers who can't eat at all.
Whether it's a mine, an open-pit mine or a canteen, a lot of coal is needed every day. Countless coals are shoveled into the boiler, and after combustion, there are always incompletely burned cinders, which are very rare fuel for ordinary people. It was in this situation that Qin Bo back then, carrying a basket and a group of friends to the mine every day.
Gao Guizhi, who was picked up and raised by the mine canteen, never had the opportunity to go to school again, and after working in the mine canteen for several years, he finally ran into this group of snotty boys running around. When Gao Guizhi saw these children wearing torn pants that couldn't even cover their buttocks, and relying on two half-baked potatoes in her arms to satisfy her hunger, she felt distressed for no reason. If her brother were still alive, he would be that old.
Six or seven children sat in the operation room of the cafeteria, waiting for the cinders in the boiler room to pour out and the heat to dissipate before picking them up, but their eyes were stubbornly swallowing the big steamed buns mixed with most of the coarse grains in the steamer. Gao Guizhi couldn't see the children suffering, and when she cut steamed buns every day, she cut ten pieces of steamed buns, she cut eleven pieces, and the remaining piece of Gao Guizhi sandwiched an old pickle in it and stuffed it to each child. Although it is sneaky every time, but no one says anything in the eyes of the people in the canteen, a piece of steamed bread is less than two taels, and six or seven children only eat a pound of steamed bread in total, which is not even a splash for the canteen that supplies thousands of people. What's more, who doesn't have a child, and who doesn't feel sorry for the child? Everyone is blind and closed.
