Narrow streets, potholes, garbage discarded at will, small coal sheds built indiscriminately, and simple tube buildings......

Zhong Huan walked on the way home, looked at the scene around his house and shook his head. I wondered if I was going to tell my parents that I had made a lot of money and could buy a new house to live in.

Buying a car and buying a house after having money is the usual way of thinking of Chinese people, and Zhong Huan is no exception. The reason why he hesitated is because he has lived here since he was born, and since he was a child, it is false to say that there is no emotion at all. Presumably, my parents have a deeper affection for this place.

The affection for the old house is secondary, the key is the person who lives in the house. Zhong Huan couldn't help but hesitate even more when he thought that it would not be Chu Xiaoxue's family who lived next door after moving out.

"Xiao Huan, you don't enter the door when you get home, what are you wandering around at the door?"

Zhang Shulan knew that Zhong Huan was going home today, and she was always worried about it, and she was going to come out to take a look as soon as she heard the movement. It wasn't Zhong Huan who opened the door a few times before, but this time his son is really back.

"Mom, I'm back. Are you going out? Zhong Huan, who was looking down to think about things, was startled by his mother.

"If you don't go out, you just hear footsteps and open the door to see. When did you get back? Why don't you go into the house? ”

Zhang Shulan couldn't help but be a little worried when she saw Zhong Huan's unruly look, afraid that he would get into some trouble when he went out.

"I just came back. Just as I was looking for the key to open the door, you came out, which scared me. Zhong Huan said and entered the house.

"Xiao Huan, didn't you say the plane in the morning before? Why did you come back at this time? Is it not going well? Zhang Shulan still couldn't rest assured.

"It went well! Because Peng Lei and I went back to the company first, we came back late. By the way, Mom, we made a lot of money by going to Jiangcheng to participate in the Lanchang Fair this time. I'd like to talk to you about buying a bigger house. Zhong Huan decided to probe his mother's tone first.

"How much money do you make to buy a house? Do you know how expensive house prices are now? The old houses in this part of our family are about a million. ”

Zhang Shulan knew that Zhong Huan was partnering with Peng Lei to do business, but it had only been a little more than a month since the business was full, how much money could she earn? Last time Zhong Huan paid 100,000 yuan to the family, she felt that it was a lot, and she didn't dare to think that her son could earn millions.

"Don't worry about money. The down payment is definitely enough, and I have to pay back the loan. It's up to you to move. Zhong Huan didn't dare to say how much money he earned, for fear of stimulating his mother.

"It's not a big deal for me to say it, why don't you wait for your dad to come back and discuss it."

Zhang Shulan can make decisions about the small things in the family, but she has no bottom in her heart for such a big thing as buying a house. What's more, she didn't have this preparation before, and now that Zhong Huan brought it up, she didn't know how to answer.

"That's it! It's not a rush either. You take the time to talk to my dad and see what he means, and then we'll talk about it. ”

Zhong Huan is rich now, but he doesn't dare to make his own decisions about such a big thing as buying a house. After all, where the family lives together, it must be in line with the parents' wishes.

"Okay, I'll talk to your dad when I get a chance. By the way, when you go out to dinner tomorrow, have you booked a table? ”

Zhang Shulan suddenly remembered tomorrow's family gathering. Although she had said it before the holiday, she was still a little uneasy. If there is no seat in the hotel, then I don't know what ugly things the two people of the love party will say.

"Don't worry! From the CEO to the staff of Hongda Hotel, there is no one I am not familiar with. If I don't have a seat, I can ask Zhou Xin to make room for us. Zhong Huan patted his chest and reassured.

Zhong Jianguo came back from overtime that night, and saw that the first thing Zhong Huan asked was also about booking a seat at tomorrow's family gathering. In the past, it was not the turn of Zhong Huan, a junior, to take care of these things at home. This time Zhong Huan was in charge for the first time, and Zhong Jianguo and Zhang Shulan were not very relieved. So Zhong Huan promised again and again, which reassured the old couple.

Early the next morning, Zhong Huan was called up by his parents. This made Zhong Huan, who hadn't slept enough, full of resentment.

"Dad, Mom, are we going to have lunch, not breakfast, can we get up at six o'clock?" Zhong Huan complained while washing.

"You kid, let's do Dong today, we have to arrive early." Zhong Jianguo said with a shaved beard.

"Aha~ Then it doesn't have to be so early, right?" Zhong Huan yawned and said.

"When you go to such an upscale place to eat, your mother and I always have to fight for it. You too, changed this short-sleeved T-shirt. It's October, are you that hot? Zhong Jianguo saw that Zhong Huan was still wearing the usual clothes, so he asked him to change.

"Dad, what old ideas are you! We're going to eat, not to meet the leaders of the country, what are we doing in such formal clothes? We are consumers, we are God, of course, how comfortable and how to wear, no one will laugh at you. If you do walk in a suit, people will laugh at you for not seeing the world. ”

Zhong Huan went to Jiangcheng to gain a long insight and opened his eyes. The guests in the five-star hotel are not necessarily in suits and leather shoes, but those who arrive at the hotel as if they are home are the richest.

"The child's father, I think what Xiao Huan said makes a little sense. Only poor families take going to restaurants to eat seriously, rich people are used to eating, who would change their clothes? I think we should dress appropriately and not be rude. It doesn't need to be too deliberate. Zhang Shulan agrees with her son's point of view.

"Gotta ~ both of you are fashionable, just me. What are we going to eat earlier? Zhong Jianguo asked.

"I'll boil the water and make some stick noodle porridge for a while. Xiao Huan took back the stick noodles and boiled porridge, which was fragrant. ”

Since Zhang Shulan was used to eating the grains, fruits and vegetables that Zhong Huan brought out from the Ten Thousand Beast Gu, she didn't go out to buy food. She always felt that the outside bought did not make her own fragrance.

"That stick noodles are good, but we can't just drink porridge. What the hell? "Zhong Jianguo usually eats a lot of food, and he can't be full just by drinking porridge.

"Let's eat well at noon, and you have a lot to eat in the morning. Can you still eat at noon after eating too much? Zhang Shulan glared at her husband and said.

"Mom, can you not make me laugh? It's not about eating a buffet, it's about going hungry to eat enough. ”

If it was in the past, Zhong Huan would definitely not eat breakfast, but also save his stomach and wait for noon to eat. Now that he has tens of millions in his pocket, he naturally doesn't need to be so petty. This makes people poor, short-minded, and wealthy.

"Xiao Huan is right. It's not a buffet. Eat more in the morning, order two fewer dishes at noon, and save Xiao Huan some money. ”

As soon as Zhong Jianguo spoke, Zhong Huan almost cried. It seems that this kind of thrifty style is the norm at home. Zhong Huan didn't think there was anything wrong with this before, but now it seems that life at home is a little tighter, and it is not easy for his parents.

"Old Zhong, why are you so stupid! Let's save it for Xiao Huan, those two families won't save it. At that time, our family didn't have enough to eat, but let others eat a crooked stomach, how breath-holding. Anyway, the money has been spent, so it's better to have a good time. Zhang Shulan continued to reason with her husband.

"Mom, Dad, don't fight. Your son and I have made a lot of money, and there will be many opportunities for this kind of meal in the future, so we can go if we want, and we don't have to go hungry. Zhong Huan interrupted his parents' argument and said.

"I love to hear Xiao Huan's words. If we don't lose weight, why can't we get along with our stomachs when we are hungry. The porridge is thickened, and I drink two bowls. ”

Although Zhong Jianguo praised his son, he didn't let his wife cook anything else, obviously listening to Zhang Shulan's words.

Zhong Huan also knew that his parents' views could not be changed for a while. If you want them to change their views, you must first let the family have money, so that parents can have confidence. It's just that he took too much money out at once, and Zhong Huan couldn't explain it. So he decided to take the money back slowly, 100,000 last month, 200,000 this month, and 300,000 next month. This is easy to explain and doesn't cause too much irritation to parents.

After breakfast, Zhang Shulan cleaned up the house, and the three of them watched TV for a while, and Zhong Jianguo couldn't sit still. So the family of three set off and got on the bus. Originally, Zhong Huan wanted to take a taxi, but his parents didn't agree. Zhong Huan pondered, he waited for a taxi to arrive at the hotel in advance, it was better to take the bus.

At the dinner at twelve o'clock at noon, Zhong Jianguo and his two younger brothers made an appointment to meet at the door of the hotel at half past eleven. When Zhong Huan got out of the car and looked at the time, he found that it was just half past ten, and he was really a little speechless.

"Dad, Mom, we're here too early. Why don't you go in and wait. Zhong Huan proposed.

"Is it appropriate for us to go and occupy a private room so early? Or just wait outside. Zhong Jianguo looked at the luxurious Hongda Hotel and was a little stunned, he really hadn't eaten in such a high-end hotel.

"You can wait in the lobby without entering the private room. We're still here to affect people's parking. ”

Zhong Huan stood at the door of the hotel, and couldn't help but think of the first time he came to the hotel to deliver fruit and was driven away by Xu Hao. Since then, he has been walking through the back door of the hotel. Thinking that he had been to the hotel so many times, and had not even entered from the main entrance, Zhong Huan felt a little funny.

"Xiao Huan is right. There's still an hour left, let's go inside first and feel the atmosphere in advance, so as not to make a fool of yourself later. They'll call when they arrive anyway. Zhang Shulan can't wait to enter the hotel to experience it.

Zhong Jianguo no longer insisted when he heard that his wife and son wanted to go first. A family of three, led by Zhong Huan, walked into the Hongda Hotel.

This is also the first time Zhong Huan has come in from the main entrance. The first thing you feel when you enter the hotel is the cool smell on your face. The powerful central air conditioner keeps the hot and dry heat of the autumn tiger out of the door. When Zhong Huan saw the layout in the lobby clearly, he almost couldn't help but shout. The giant crystal lamps hanging overhead and the smooth floor beneath your feet are not new, but the furnishings on both sides of the lobby.

On the left side of the lobby against the wall is a giant aquarium with a variety of seafood, and if you look closely, it will feel like an aquarium. On the right side of the lobby, a rockery is built, all kinds of green plants are planted according to the mountain, and melons, fruits, plums and peaches are at the mercy of the mountains, making people feel like they have arrived at Huaguo Mountain again.
