Chapter 434: Embarrassment
The next day, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Huifen and Lu Zhongfu came to the nearest vegetable market again.
"Old man, why do I think the way they look at us is not good?" Jiang Huifen tugged at Lu Zhongfu's sleeve and said.
"Yes! What's the matter, are we long-faced hateful? Lu Zhongfu touched his face and said.
"It's them, it's them, it's Ah Xiu, who they persuaded to sell fish yesterday, who sold the stocks in his hand." The vegetable sellers looked at Lu Zhongfu and his family pointingly.
"Grandpa, grandma, ...... you? What's going on. Gu Yaluo opened and looked at the embarrassed duo.
Hearing Gu Yaluo's whistling, everyone at home ran over.
One by one, they asked worriedly, "Grandpa, what's wrong?" ”
"Grandpa!"
"Grandma, didn't you go out to buy groceries? How do you look like those ...... in the movie? Before Lu Haoyi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Jiangzhou, "How can you talk like this kid?" ”
"I know what you mean?" Jiang Huifen laughed at herself and said, "Hey! Don't mention it, it's not that your second uncle has been implicated. Jiang Huifen then said, "Yesterday I went to the vegetable market with your second uncle, okay?" He persuaded people to sell the stock, which can be regarded as a hornet's nest. That's what happened to us. ”
"Mom, don't say it, go wash up." Zhu Cuiyun looked at the embarrassed appearance of the second elder, and came out with a towel, but she couldn't do it at all.
There is no shortage of rotten vegetable leaves in the vegetable market, so the old couple was greeted with eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, rotten fish, and rotten shrimp!
"Dad, I see you go up to the second floor. His second uncle's house washes it, and I'll get you clothes. Lu Jiangzhou hurriedly said again, and turned around and entered the old couple's room as he spoke. took out a change of clothes from the closet and accompanied Lu Zhongfu to the third floor.
The old couple came out of the shower with a fragrant mouthful, raised their arms and smelled it, only to feel that the stinky fishy smell was less.
In order to wash off the smell on their bodies, the two of them did not use less shower gel.
Coming from the wet market, everyone avoided them. It was as if they were like beasts of the flood and did the most heinous things.
"It's really. They are so hateful. The second uncle is just talking, whether he sells it or not, and he doesn't have to treat people like this! Gu Zhanyan said angrily. Hands clasped together and crackled.
"Zhanshuo, this blocking people's money is like killing parents." Lu Haoyi said in a low voice. Implication. Go without saying.
"Forget it, what's the matter with them? At most, it's better not to go there to buy groceries. Lu Zhongfu waved his hand and said, "Huh! What about the riverboats? Why didn't I see it. ”
"Dad, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the little brother and sister will go back to their parents' house." Annie Chen said.
"Really, I forgot about this stubble because of the trouble they made me." Lu Zhongfu patted his head and said, "That is, no one is bothering." ”
"Yes! Everyone has left their relatives. Zhu Cuiyun smiled, "Except for those who go to work, they are not at home." Everything else is there. ”
"Grandpa, let's play mahjong!" Lu Hao'er proposed.
"Good! All right! "Get a unanimous response from everyone.
"But hasn't lunch been served yet?" Lu Haosi's face was quiet. The rose-like red lips said softly.
"In this way, you accompany your grandparents to play mahjong, and I will drive with my children to the supermarket to buy groceries, and the supermarket will open today." Lu Jiangzhou said.
"As for lunch, now we will play mahjong and put the money together, and we will go down to the restaurant to rub it." Lu Zhongfu said boldly.
It's fake not to be angry about today's events, so turn grief and anger into strength.
On the mahjong table, Lu Zhongfu and Jiang Huifen were killing all sides, of course, the result of constantly feeding cards was that Lu Haoyi and Chen Annie who lost had green faces.
Lu Jiangchuan's family and Lu Jiangfan, who came back in the evening, naturally heard about it, and they all crowded to the second floor.
Everyone ate and talked at the table.
"Dad, this is too exaggerated!" Lu Jiangfan was dumbfounded when he heard it.
"Not an exaggeration, not at all." Jiang Huifen shook her head, trembled and said, "People are 'crazy' now. ”
"Maybe I'm scared! That's why it's like this. Lu Zhongfu said in a low voice, and suddenly asked again, "Is the stock market still so hot?" ”
"Yes! Why doesn't grandpa love to read newspapers the most? Lu Haoshan asked curiously.
"I haven't watched the financial edition for a few days." Lu Zhongfu shook his head and said, he doesn't speculate in stocks, so the financial version is just flipping over, and he has never been careful.
Lu Jiangfan furrowed his brows and said softly, "As you know, this year happens to be the 'Year of the Ugly Ox' in the Chinese calendar. Because the 'Year of the Ox' coincides with the 'bull market' in the stock market narrative, investors unanimously believe that it is a 'good sign' and makes speculation more vigorous. I accompanied my parents to the vegetable market yesterday to buy vegetables, and the owner of the fish stall only needs a blessing: the Year of the Ox is auspicious, the bull market is soaring, and even tips are given. Now the stock market is full of bullishness, and shark fin is the era of rice every day. ”
Lu Haoshan flipped through the headlines of today's newspaper and said, "Don't you look at the newspaper and say it!" Society has fallen into a situation of 'everyone shares'. Whether it is a housewife, a working class, a white-collar class or a businessman, they all talk about stocks and are keen to speculate in stocks.
The buying and selling of stocks has penetrated into housewives and all social strata, and the citizens are inseparable from the 'stock classic' when they meet and talk a few words, and the frenzy of the citizens to inquire about the stock market news everywhere is even more than the situation in the past when gambling in Guangdong Province was opened, ignorant women and children rushed to inquire about the 'oral message' (oral information) of Master Zihua. The social change reflected in this is that many (stock) retailers have put business ethics behind them and only pursued profiteering (principle). Many housewives and maids have also given up their savings to buy stocks, because the interest rate on savings is far less profitable than stocks. There are also those 'white-collar' class and the like, who are distracted by office hours, and use the phone to 'buy and ship' as soon as they hear something. In the 'office buildings' (offices) of the Central District, industry has become commonplace. In addition, teachers in government-subsidized schools have not forgotten the ups and downs of stocks during class and have no intention of teaching, which has caused dissatisfaction among many parents of students. ”
"Ahh Zhu Cuiyun looked at the children and asked nervously, "What about your teacher!" Is it so unprofessional? ”
"No, no." Lu Haoyi waved his hand.
Lu Jiangzhou looked at Lu Haosi and them, "What about you?" A pivotal year. ”
"No, yes, I was also warned by the principal." Lu Haosi's white and pure face was full of calmness.
"What about Luo'er, Zhan Yan and Zhan Shuo? How well your teachers teach? Lu Zhongfu looked at them lovingly.
"Nope." The twin brothers shook their heads.
"The teacher quit his job." Gu Yaluo shrugged and said.
"I'm really willing, your school is a famous school! Entering your school is like holding a golden job, what a good career to be a teacher! It is also respectable to go out. Jiang Huifen tsk...... Road.
"But they don't think so, if it's good, it's a teacher, and if it's bad, it's just to watch the child." Gu Yaluo smiled indifferently and said lightly, "Plus since it is a famous school, the parents of the students are either rich or expensive, and the teachers can't shake it." So this father, mother, how can there be banknotes! ”
"Huh...... That's the truth. Lu Hao'er smiled.
"I think the stock market will crash sooner or later!" Lu Jiangfan said with a frown.
"It's that serious! The newspapers shouted that the wolf was coming every day, and I didn't see how the stock market was! It fell, and it soon went up. Jiang Huifen wondered.
Lu Jiangfan smiled bitterly and said, "In 1929, the U.S. stock market crash, in October 1929, the stock market crash began, and the average stock index fell by more than half in two months. Everyone knows this! Even if you don't know it, the world economic panic will follow, and World War II is waiting ahead! ”
And again, "On the eve of the collapse, on September 3, a Wall Street statistician, Roger Murphy. Babson said at a financial dinner on Wall Street: "Sooner or later, the stock market will crash!" This quote was published by Dow Jones Financials. In fact, this gentleman has been repeating this sentence for the past two years, but it is only regarded as a joke by people, but I didn't expect this time it will become a prophecy and leave a name for eternity. Soon after this word spread throughout the United States, investor confidence began to waver, and the stock market immediately turned downward, like a flood that has released a floodgate, it is a thousand miles, I am really afraid of ......? Lu Jiangfan trembled, this was the fear of possible consequences.
"Haoshan Dad, don't you either? If this wolf comes, no one can stop it! As you said, a country as big as the United States has not been able to avoid it, not to mention our British Xiangjiang. Jiang Huifen took a deep breath and sighed.
"Yes! It's good not to fall into the ground. Lu Zhongfu said coldly, and as soon as the words turned, he looked at Lu Jiangfan and said, "Haoshan, his father, give everyone a reminder in the future." ”
Lu Jiangfan nodded and said, "I understand, I'm afraid that some people don't listen to persuasion, and they are like crazy people." ”
"God says, 'To precede destruction, first to madness!'" Gu Yaluo's calm and deep eyes did not have any waves, and said coldly.
"As the old Chinese saying goes: Man must destroy himself, and then heaven will destroy him." Lu Zhongfu sighed and said, "Talk about it, it's best to listen to persuasion." ”
"By the way, Dad, I'm going to the UK on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year." Lu Jiangfan said.
"Why didn't you tell me about it?" Annie Chen asked casually.
"Isn't that just the time I was notified? I went to the UK for about a week. Lu Jiangfan continued, "I won't talk about this together. ”
"On business?" Annie Chen hung her head and said dejectedly, she thought she could accompany her to play!
"Be careful along the way." Jiang Huifen admonished, "Britain is much colder than we are here. Haoshan's mother, bring him more clothes. ”
"It's Mom!" Annie Chen replied with a smile.
"Jiang Dan is going to fly to the United States tomorrow, and you should remember to bring more clothes." Lu Zhongfu looked at Lu Jiang Dandao.
"I know Dad, I've already packed my luggage." Lu Jiangdan nodded.
"Then let's disperse early!" Lu Zhongfu stood up and said.
"Good night mom and dad."
Amid the sound of good night, everyone went back to their homes. (To be continued......)
