Chapter 3 High Consumption
Coming out of the Xishan villa area, walking on the wide road, the orange street lamps on the side of the road emitted a soft light, Zhang Jianguo drove the car, Gao Min sat in the passenger seat, and said to Zhang Jianguo: "Let's go to Jianguo Community first, where is there a night market, first buy a change of clothes for Xiaojian, and prepare pajamas for him, a little smaller." Hehe, I didn't expect him to grow so tall that he didn't look like he was sixteen years old. ”
"Huh! Good! Zhang Jianguo looked at his son through the mirror. I was very happy. This son is beyond everyone's imagination, too good.
Zhang Jianguo's place is the welfare room of the Health Department, with three bedrooms and one living room, a master bedroom, and a study room for Zhang Jianguo's office. The remaining Gao Min has been cleaned up for Zhang Zijian.
"It's been a tiring day, your mother will boil you water in a while, take a bath, go to bed early, tomorrow our family will go out to play, your dog is left, I will find someone to arrange to send him away, rest assured." Zhang Jianguo, sitting on the sofa and lighting a cigarette, said to Zhang Zijian.
Zhang Zijian also took out the box of special cigarettes from his jacket pocket at this time, glanced at Zhang Jianguo, and saw that he didn't squeak, so he lit it himself. Said: "Oh! ”
"Smoke, if you can, don't smoke it, you don't have pressure now, you don't have troubles, it's better not to get it. I'm busy with work, if I can't take care of you, and your little mother, I usually respect her a little and help her take care of your brother. Zhang Jianguo said.
"Can you not call it Mommy! It's better to call Auntie, I'm saying that I'm older and I'm a director, and I don't want to get involved in your adult's grievances. My mom only has one, and one is enough. By the way, help me get a set of high school textbooks tomorrow, and I'll study in this time. Zhang Zijian said with a cigarette in his mouth, leaning his head back on the sofa, looking at the ceiling.
This is Gao Min coming out of the bathroom and saying that he had made some water and asked Zhang Zijian to come over. Zhang Zijian put out the cigarette in the ashtray before saying thank you to Gao Min. Grab your new toiletries and new pajamas and head to the bathroom. I still wonder in my heart, what kind of water heater is so fast to boil the water so quickly.
As soon as I entered the bathroom, I saw that it was gas.
"In the future, you have to worry more about Xiaojian's life, Xiaojian, this kid is very sensible. I think I'll have a good relationship with you. If there's anything out of the ordinary, you can take care of it, after all, you come from the countryside and haven't adapted yet. When Zhang Jianguo was communicating with his little wife to reconcile the relationship between children and mothers, the phone rang, Zhang Jianguo picked up the phone and said a few words, his face became stern, and after putting down the phone, he said to Gao Min: "Several foreign tourists have suffered food poisoning after dining in the hotel, and they have been rescued in the hospital. I'm going to go over and take a look. Xiao Jian washed up and let him rest early. ”
"Are you coming back tonight?" Gao Min asked.
"I don't know yet!" Zhang Jianguo took the coat handed over by Gao Min and said.
The rush all the way has already made Zhang Zijian tired, and a beautiful wash with hot water almost made Zhang Zijian sleep in the bathroom.
When he woke up, Zhang Zijian felt that the sky was already bright, and after walking to the bathroom to wash, he saw his little mother Gao Min feeding his little brother Zhang Zihan to eat.
"Morning, Auntie." Zhang Zijian spoke first. Looking at his little brother Zhang Zihan looking at him with his eyes, he touched his head with his hand and said, "Call my brother!" ”
"You're early, too. Sleep well! Gao Min asked with a smile. She didn't care about Zhang Zijian's title, what she cared about was Zhang Zijian's attitude towards her, and she swept away the worries in her heart from the polite greeting just now.
"Your dad had a mission last night, and he hasn't come back yet. I called again just now, I can't accompany you today, let me accompany you to buy a few sets of clothes, and take you to play by the way. Gao Min put a glass of milk in front of Zhang Zijian and said, handing over another piece of bread.
"Let him be busy, just play, now he is from the capital, and he will have time to go shopping later, clothes will be bought, and my hairstyle will also be repaired, otherwise it will affect the appearance of the capital." Zhang Zijian's humorous remarks made Gao Minle smile.
It seems that he will be able to integrate with Zhang Zijian in the future, which also makes Gao Min realize that Zhang Zijian has another side, no matter how he looks like he is from the countryside.
Gao Min saw Zhang Zijian finish eating, took out a box of China, and said to Zhang Zijian: "I saw you smoking with your dad yesterday, and I didn't say you, this cigarette is your dad's, you take it and smoke it!" It's gone, look for me! Zhang Zijian looked at Gao Min in surprise, did he want to smoke secretly last night? Why did this stepmother let him smoke openly? It's a bribe, no, it's a good relationship, it seems to be. Zhang Zijian picked up the box of cigarettes and said to Gao Min: "My dad persuaded me not to smoke, hehe, I'm addicted to smoking in the ravine, don't look at me as young, my smoking age is not small." Hehe! ”
After Zhang Zijian finished speaking, he quickly opened the cigarette and smoked it, how did he say that sentence, a cigarette after the meal was as happy as a fairy.
At more than nine o'clock in the morning, Gao Min took a taxi to take Zhang Zijian to the International Trade Building with Xiao Zihan in his arms.
No matter what, Zhang Zijian is now a child of a high-ranking cadre, so how can he wear high-end clothes. But who knows, Zhang Zijian's vision is high, and he chose a suit made in Italy of more than 2,000 yuan. Spend all the cash brought by Gao Min at one time, eight or nine years, the salary of ordinary workers is only more than 100 yuan a month, and more than 2,000 yuan of clothes can cost Zhang Jianguo nearly a year's salary.
A suit is not a big deal, fortunately, Gao Min brought a passbook and asked Zhang Zijian to wait at the door, and took Xiao Zihan to the bank next to the commercial building to withdraw cash.
One morning, Zhang Zijian picked out two sets of sportswear and two sets of casual wear, and bought a few pairs of shoes, plus some personal items. Carrying large bags and small bags makes many people look at the difference, they have seen the rich, but they have never seen such a rich one. Gao Min also helped Zhang Zijian carry some small things and came out of the International Trade Building, Gao Min asked Zhang Zijian: "What else to buy?" ”
"It's nothing, I just want to get my hair and buy some study books." Zhang Zijian really didn't want to buy anything, this pile of things was tired enough just to carry it.
"Study books? Oh, your dad asked a friend of the Education Committee to help you get it, and he brought it back for you in the evening. Your hairstyle, I know a good barbershop, go to dinner first, let's go. After Gao Min finished speaking, he walked to the side of the road and beckoned to take a taxi.
Zhang Jianguo, who was in the middle of the night, finally went home, and Gao Min in the fog also hurried up. said to Zhang Jianguo: "Are you still hungry, I'll order you some noodles." ”
"Not hungry!" Zhang Jianguo took off his shirt tiredly. Then he said: "How is Xiaojian today, did you buy him clothes?" If he can't keep up with fashion, you have to check it! Hehe! Zhang Jianguo, who took off his pants, lay down on the bed and said with his eyes closed.
"Do I doubt that he is your son? I bought a dress, and he checked it for me, but it cost you two years' salary today. I bought a few clothes and shoes. Gao Min felt a little distressed when she thought of today's crazy moves, it was not easy to save some money, but it was not as good as Zhang Zijian, if you want to stop him from spending money, I feel that this will cause conflicts between her and Zhang Zijian in the future, so let's hand over the contradictions, sue his father, and let him say Zhang Zijian, money is not so spent.
"What kind of clothes, it will cost me two years' salary." Zhang Jianguo got up from the bed violently and looked at his little wife with a surprised face.
"There are more than 2,000 international brands and a suit made in Italy, called Armani. I heard that it is an international brand, and only three pieces of this kind of clothes are placed on the International Trade Center, and they are still agents from Hong Kong. Two sets of casual clothes, as if they were made in France, forgot the brand, oh, with a small flower on the chest. The tracksuit is a checkpoint. Leather shoes are crocodile, that is, sneakers, and they are also with a check number. Alas, forget it this time, don't be such a loser in the future, my heart will definitely not be able to stand it. Gao Min finished talking to Zhang Jianguo about today's shopping list. The only thing that didn't say that Zhang Zijian helped her pick out a set of French fashion is also a thousand yuan smaller?
"This kid, isn't he stupid, what to see and what to buy? The whole Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. Zhang Jianguo asked in disbelief.
"It's good to become Grandma Liu, then the whole stupid hat, do you know how professional your son is? The waiter who asked couldn't answer. From the pure cotton of the shirt to whether it is iron-free, as well as the pure wool of the suit fabric, I said, he is really your son in the ravine, and the ravine, who doesn't even have a radio, knows the international brand. You might as well take him to the hospital for a paternity test. Gao Min said counterproductively.
"Take a break!" It seems that Zhang Jianguo also has this question, when he met his son, he didn't say a word beyond his environment, and everyone was wondering, is it my son, it seems that this idea has been thought about in his heart no less than five or six times.
"Sleep, tomorrow?" Zhang Jianguo lay heavily on the pillow again, slowly closed his eyes and said.
After getting up in the morning, the first time Zhang Jianguo saw Zhang Zijian, he had changed, both in temperament and dress. This directly made him want to do a paternity test, and after looking at it for a while, this idea went away with the wind. Because Zhang Zijian's delicate face is six points like his mother, and four points thinks about himself, judging from his appearance, he is definitely his species.
Zhang Zijian was wearing a dreamy casual suit, and he looked a little old-fashioned at first glance, but he was still covered up by his handsomeness.
Zhang Jianguo, who looked at it for a while, smiled slightly, looked at his short-sleeved white shirt, and remembered his cheap suit, although it was more than 300 yuan, in the face of the suit of more than 2,000 yuan that Zhang Zijian didn't wear, it was not cheap.
"You're still a kid, you're going to school, you're a student, wearing this dress, it's not your age, you look mature, you look old." Zhang Jianguo sat on the sofa in the living room and said.
"I can't pick it out, although the reform and opening up, but there are still some restrictions, I can't buy good ones, if I can go to Hong Kong and Europe, I can definitely buy clothes that fit my age!" Zhang Zijian shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Tsk!" Zhang Jianguo, who was choked by this sentence, couldn't say anything.
"Just buy a few sets of clothes, listen to your aunt, the clothes and shoes you bought yesterday cost a little 4,000. In the ravine where you used to live, a hundred yuan can make a family live for a year, and your expenses yesterday can catch up with the annual consumption of a village. Zhang Jianguo looked at Zhang Zijian and lowered his head, and he was embarrassed to say anything.
At this time, Gao Min came out of the kitchen with breakfast and picked up Zhang Jianguo's words and said: "Early in the morning, don't talk about it, Xiaojian is a big child now." Sensible! ”
"What I mean is not how much he spends, it's that he has a concept of consumption, and the money is worth it." Zhang Jianguo glanced at Gao Min, then at Zhang Zijian and said.
"If I lend you this money, I'll give you ten times as much in a year." Zhang Zijian's words are a bit excessive.
"You!" Zhang Jianguo immediately stood up and pointed at Zhang Zijian and couldn't say anything. When Gao Min saw the father and son, he hurriedly came over and pulled Jianguo's hand and said, "Jianguo, what are you doing." Xiaojian is still a child. Let's slowly teach him to change it! ”
"Oh, you don't understand, you go up to the side." Glaring at Gao Min and said to Zhang Zijian: "When I first came to the capital, I was thinking about how to make money, just with your level in the second grade of primary school, this is not a poor ravine, not a place for you to herd sheep casually." This is the capital, does the capital know? I brought you here to give you a higher education. It is to let you have knowledge and knowledge, and you will have the ability to earn money in the future, and I won't say how much you spend. If you tell me now that you earn money, and give me ten times as much in a year, you, you're mad at me. Zhang Jianguo suddenly lost his temper and yelled twice from time to time. Gao Min was flustered when he watched it. looked at Zhang Zijian and said, "Hurry up and apologize to your father." Jianguo, don't be angry, Zijian is still a child, talk angry! Yes! ”
Zhang Zihan was also woken up by Zhang Jianguo's loud voice at this time, and when he saw that there was no one around, he cried loudly, and Gao Min hurried over to coax his baby son.
Zhang Zijian looked at Zhang Jianguo and said slowly: "I have at least three ways to earn money, without delaying my studies and time." First, the old man and your reputation come to money the fastest, but the corrupt ones are also the fastest, and I can't use this as capital. There is also the white wolf with empty gloves, using the policy, playing the side ball, but this requires a complete set of plans, it takes time, in a legal trade, I look for a partner, I just come up with ideas and ways. If these things are done well, it is not a matter of millions or tens of millions a year. ”
"You, you, you." Zhang Jianguo pointed at Zhang Zijian and said three words in a row, but he couldn't say anything. sat on the sofa, frowning, and looked at Zhang Zijian from time to time.
Zhang Zijian just said that he took three points, in fact, he already knew. The empty glove white wolf is also a speculative business. Foreign trade business is also the most profitable, doesn't his uncle Zhang Jianjun have a foreign trade company? Zhang Jianguo didn't expect this son to be so shrewd, and he also knew the empty glove white wolf. looked at Zhang Zijian with a different face, waiting for his explanation.
"It feels like I'm not your son. Or do you want to do an appraisal. Hehe, don't talk about those useless things, in short, your son and I are just too smart, and many things can be figured out at a glance. In these years, no matter whether you are promoted or go to the sea, as long as you have resources, whoever doesn't use them is a fool. And stop imagining your son to be so old-fashioned, a dirt bun. No matter how I say it, I am also a jade tree in the wind, not a thing in the pool. ”
Flutter. Gao Min coaxed the child, and just heard Zhang Zijian's last words at the door. Holding the child in one hand and covering his mouth with the other, he laughed softly.
Xiao Zihan stared at his eyes, looking left and right, and there were still two tear stains on his cheeks.
