Chapter 142: Tyrants and Turtles
In the year of 98, Tang Yin's family lived quite comfortably, and Tang's father Tang Kangming was promoted exceptionally and was officially appointed as the director of the Cangshan City Investment Promotion Office.
Since Cangshan City held an economic, trade and tourism festival a year ago, so that Cangshan City's investment promotion work into a blowout state, Tang's father Tang Kangming has been so busy that his feet do not touch the ground, and his shadow is basically not seen at home, and he often gets drunk and comes home in the middle of the night, and falls asleep when he gets home.
made Tang's mother complain, thinking that it was not as comfortable as the poor life before, at least this situation would not occur at that time, and if this continued, Tang Kangming's body would not be able to bear it. While Tang's mother complained, the smiling face that she changed was never broken, and it was obvious that her life was extremely comfortable now.
Tang Kangming's ascension made the Tang family's social status rise, and Tang's mother's Yan Ruyu living hall had a bumper harvest, which also made the Tang family's economic conditions completely improved. At the end of the year, the profit of the beauty salon exceeded one million, and Tang's mother and Tang's father did not say a word, and repaid the house money for the faΓ§ade room on South Street in the second year in advance. The entire purchase price is short of the last year's million final payment, which is not a big problem for the Tang family.
In the hearts of their parents, Tang Yin is their hope for the future. However, Tang Yin did not disappoint them, and in the final exam, he scored all three places, which made Tang's father straighter and straighter after that parent-teacher meeting, and occasionally asked Tang Yin, when will there be a parent-teacher meeting, can you remember to remind me.
This made Tang's mother hide to the side and snicker, she understood that her husband was addicted. My son got good grades in the exam, and the head teacher asked him to say a few words in front of many parents, and this pride couldn't be stopped.
's father, Tang Kangming, was promoted, but at the same time, he was also pushed to the forefront, and long-term drinking and socializing were more likely to hurt his body. This made Tang Yin confused, not knowing whether it was right or wrong for him to try his best to change the family situation, but whenever he saw his confident parents. With a bright smile, Tang Yin felt that everything was worth it again.
And since the big earthquake occurred in Cangshan Municipal Altar, after Gao Changfu was shuanggui, even Lin Zhiyuan became much more low-key. Fortunately, this person is cunning and has long been on guard, and he has not been affected by Gao Changfu's case, but his business has completely fallen into a trough, after all, he mainly relied on the big tree of Gao Changfu to make a fortune before.
At the same time, even Bi Zhijiang was affected by Gao Changfu's case and fell silent, and it seemed that he had collapsed from then on. This was what Lin Zhiyuan didn't expect, in his mind, he was a former secretary of a certain chief.
Seeing that his "old subordinate" Tang Kangming's career is now in full swing and he has become a real cadre, Lin Zhiyuan has a sour taste in his heart, this is a little person who was scolded by his own nose at the beginning, but now he has really become an existence that he looks up to.
But he deserves to be a character who can afford to let go, since Tang Kangming is already so unattainable, then what can we do if we climb him. At least I have a powerful artifact - my baby daughter Lin Jingqi.
After having this thought, before the baby Lin Jingqi's birthday, he seemed to ask absently: "Well, how did Jingqi's birthday banquet be arranged." Please didn't invite the little students, is there any Tang Yin's little guy among them? β
Lin Jingqi was very surprised, looking at her father with big eyes, and her father took her to Bi Yiming's house in the provincial capital a few years ago. It seems that he wants Yucheng himself and Bi Yiming, and now that Tang Yin is mentioned, do you want to let yourself step on two boats?
Who is Lin Zhiyuan? That's the old Jianghu who is the best at observing words and feelings, how can he not see Lin Jingqi's eyes: "Ahem, cough...... Recently, my father found out that Bi Yiming's kid is not a good thing, he is messing with flowers and grass in Jiangdong City, and I don't want my baby daughter to be wronged with him. β
At this time, Lin Jingqi suddenly realized that Bi Zhijiang was demoted for investigation, but Tang Kangming was promoted step by step, which made his father's mind change again: "Well, this birthday is a small birthday, and my daughter is not going to make a big deal, so I will invite a few good friends and classmates to congratulate me at Dongyuan Hotel, I am about to invite Tang Yin." β
Lin Jingqi lowered her eyebrows and answered her father, but there was a faint sense of loss in her heart, did you know that Bi Yiming was this kind of person? I just have a little feeling for Bi Yiming.
Lin Zhiyuan nodded approvingly, he was so satisfied with his precious daughter, he knew how to make trade-offs, he could afford to let go, and life would be like this.
Seeing her father leave with a smile on his face, Lin Jingqi held her cheeks in her hand, sat at the desk in front of the window, and after a long time, she let out a long breath, seemed to have made a decision, walked quickly to the living room, and dialed a mobile phone number without hesitation.
"Woo woo ......" A vibration of the mobile phone woke up Tang Yin, who was reading a book and was napping, the phone number is unfamiliar, when will his mobile phone ring an unfamiliar number?
"Hello, who is it?" Tang Yin rubbed his slightly frowning brow with one hand and asked calmly.
"Tang Yin, I'm Lin Jingqi, is it convenient now?" Lin Jingqi's sweet and greasy voice came from the earpiece, hoarse with a slight trill.
Tang Yin's heart fluttered inexplicably: "Oh, it's Lin Jingqi, is there anything wrong?" He couldn't help but sit up straight, and his slightly frowning brow was instantly ironed.
Lin Jingqi can know Tang Yin's number, and that was a year ago. One day a year ago, Lin Jingqi suddenly asked Tang Yin what his mobile phone number was, and although Tang Yin was very surprised, he still told Lin Jingqi.
And Lin Jingqi's explanation was that a friend of hers had an urgent matter that day, and she was afraid that she would not be able to contact her, so she told Tang Yin's number to that friend. As a result, I didn't receive the so-called call all day that day, but Tang Yin's number Lin Jingqi also had it.
"Tomorrow is my birthday, do you have time to attend?" Lin Jingqi still said in that slightly hoarse voice.
"Well, huh...... Oh well, you tell me the place. Tang Yin pondered for a moment and said, "If you need any gifts, I'll bring one over." β
"You don't need anything, just come with people, and all the people who come together are classmates." Lin Jingqi's voice was a little more pleasant: "The location is in the Cuiyuan Hall on the sixth floor of the Dongyuan Hotel." β
"Well, I see, is there anything else?" Tang Yin switched his phone to one ear to listen, looked sideways at the door, and found that his mother was standing at the door with a smile on her face, so he made a booing motion.
"No, remember to come early to help me receive guests." Lin Jingqi's voice became more and more cheerful.
"Okay, then I'll hang up, see you tomorrow, bye." Tang Yin hung up the phone in a hurry, put the mobile phone in his pocket, turned his face and walked to the door and asked his mother, "Mom, is there something wrong?" β
"It's nothing, it's just a girl, right?" Tang Mu asked Tang Yin happily. In the mobile phones of that era, the speakers were good, so that Tang's mother could hear the sound two or three meters away.
"Well, it's Lin Jingqi, she invites me to participate on her birthday tomorrow." Tang Yin replied calmly and truthfully.
"Lin Zhiyuan's enamel doll-like daughter?" Mother Tang, who was originally smiling, heard this, and her face immediately stiffened: "Mom doesn't mind you dating girls at school, but the daughter of the Lao Lin family, Mom doesn't like it." β
"Mom, where do you want to go, it's just an ordinary interaction between classmates, how can it be so complicated." Tang Yin chuckled.
"That's good, Lin Zhiyuan is not right, and he can't train a good girl." Tang Mu muttered.
"I know, Mom." Tang Yin made a grimace at his mother, and hurriedly went out: "Mom, I went to the street to buy gifts, and when I attended someone else's birthday party, I always had to give some gifts." β
"Well, that's as it should be." A smile resurfaced on Tang's mother's face, and she was now 120,000 satisfied with her baby son.
Mother is expensive by her son, since Tang Yin was admitted to Zhongshi No. 1 Middle School, Tang's mother found that her son suddenly became very different, and she paid close attention to every change in her son. Sometimes I even wonder if this is my original son, and the changes are amazing.
Later, she automatically summed up Tang Yin's change as her son has grown up and matured. At this time, seeing his son's state, he concluded that he had nothing to do with Lin Jingqi, and the worry in his heart was put back in place.
To tell the truth, she doesn't like Lin Zhiyuan's family in her heart, if her son really talks to Lin Jingqi as friends, she is worried about whether she will have a good relationship with Lin Jingqi. In fact, at Tang Yin's age, where will it develop to the extent that Tang's mother needs to consider the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
And after Tang Yin walked away, Tang's mother suddenly remembered that her son didn't ask her for money when he went out, so how could she not need money to buy gifts for her classmates. But then she suddenly realized that Tang Yin had collected a lot of New Year's money a few years ago, and the third uncle seemed to have given money to Tang Yin once, thinking that Tang Yin should have money in his hands, otherwise he would not have asked for money from himself.
After Tang Yin went to the street, he thought about it for a long time, and decided to buy a very special gift for Lin Jingqi. To be honest, he's not good at giving gifts, especially to girls. He had never given a gift to a girl on another plane, and had no experience to speak of.
Fortunately, the information of that era was relatively developed, and it was also able to make Tang Yin's vision higher than the aesthetics of people in this era. For the so-called suitable gift in his heart, he ran a lot of places and spent a lot of thought.
After the Chinese New Year, the business of all walks of life was not as hot as it was a year ago, and the original price of more than 1,000 yuan of gifts, so that Tang Yin only spent more than 800 yuan and successfully bought it. This may be that the owner of the merchant saw that Tang Yin was not very old, and he was afraid that the price would be too expensive and scared away.
In fact, this is not necessarily the case, the general business has a habit, the first business in the morning, unwilling to soak in the soup, thus affecting the whole day's business. It's as if they say it's closed, and they don't want to hear that it's closed, and it's not unlucky. And this store is a gift shop, not a non-bargain shop.
In those days, gifts of more than 800 yuan, especially gifts for students to communicate with each other, were proper luxuries.
But in Tang Yin's heart, gifts at this price are not inappropriate, and now that he has money in his hands, he has no specific concept of money, which is what people often say, the difference between local tyrants and turtles. (To be continued......)
