Back in Suyun City, Zhang Beichuan found the rental house he had rented before - unfortunately, because this rental house had not been inhabited for a long time, the landlord rented the house to someone else, and when Zhang Beichuan knocked on the door and entered the rental house, there were two strange faces.

As for the things, most of them were thrown away or sold by the landlord, and Zhang Beichuan searched in the rental house, but found nothing of value except for two clothes.

I left the former rental house, found a four-star hotel, paid half a month's room price, and stayed in the hotel temporarily.

"Hey, Xiao Zheng, I'm Zhang Beichuan."

"Li Xiaoming, don't you remember me? I'm your former friend Zhang Beichuan. ”

"Zhang Lina, are you okay?"

Picking up the mobile phone, Zhang Beichuan almost called all the numbers in the phone book.

Most of the previous friends were on Earth, and except for a few who changed their numbers, most of their friends' calls were connected.

Even, I don't know what's going on, Zhang Beichuan also called his former girlfriend.

The ex-girlfriend was also slightly stunned, and then chatted with Zhang Beichuan.

On the phone, his ex-girlfriend sued Zhang Beichuan that she got married last year, and her husband was a native of Suyun City, and she wanted to invite him to her wedding, but the phone couldn't get through, so she thought about it or forget it.

"Zhang Beichuan, are you okay now?" The ex-girlfriend asked with some concern.

This made Zhang Beichuan's heart warm, there was an inexplicable feeling, to be honest, although this ex-girlfriend was a little snobbish, but she was really good to herself, although she threatened not to be with him several times because he couldn't make money, but she still followed him for three years, indicating that she still gave him a few chances, hoping that Zhang Beichuan would be motivated.

But youth is precious, what is there that woman who is willing to waste three or five years of youth for a man with no future?

It's not that his ex-girlfriend didn't give him a chance, it's just that Zhang Beichuan didn't grasp it.

"It's okay, it's okay. I was able to eat a full meal. Zhang Beichuan smiled.

"Or can you only support yourself? Beichuan, how many times have I told you, in today's society, if you want to do things, you must first be a person, what about you? Or is it too withdrawn, always can't fit into the team and leaves, never knows how to eat and drink with colleagues, and can't shoot the boss's sycophants, so how can it have a future? How to get reused? ”

The ex-girlfriend said again: "That's it." My husband is now a middle-level cadre in a large company, and the company has 30,000 or 40,000 a month, so I said that you are my distant relative, and let my husband arrange a job for you, as long as you work hard, seven or eight thousand a month is still no problem, do you come? ”

Listening to his ex-girlfriend's somewhat show-off tone, Zhang Beichuan shook his head and smiled bitterly. I had to say: "No need, I'm doing a good job in this company now, and I have thousands a month, which is enough to eat." ”

"How can you eat enough? You don't buy a house. Don't buy a car anymore? Don't marry a daughter-in-law in the future? You don't look at how many more men than women now, and if you don't hurry up, you'll really have to beat a single......"

The ex-girlfriend is still so preachy, if it was before. Zhang Beichuan said that he couldn't hang up the phone immediately, but he hadn't been back to Earth for several years, and he especially wanted to talk to someone. Hope. What his ex-girlfriend said was not to be heard, but Zhang Beichuan did not refute it, but chatted with her for more than half an hour.

"Zhang Beichuan, you are quite sensible now, you can still listen patiently for so long, if you had hung up the phone before, right? Looks like you've learned a little bit how to behave, not bad. That, it's time to cook, let's not talk about it yet, if there's any difficulty calling me, I'll hang up......"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Beichuan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I am now the captain of a pioneering team, in charge of hundreds of people, and I have always trained others, why was I told by others today?" ”

……

I stayed in Suyun City for two days, went to the homes of former colleagues and friends, some got married and had children, some were still single dogs, some were prosperous, and some were still depressed and lived on state relief. Zhang Beichuan lamented the vicissitudes of life in less than two years, and at the same time, for those friends who were not good, he gave some high-end gifts, and for those who were not very good, he lent them 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, which was quite generous.

"How is this Beichuan transgender, I used to pick the door very much, and I borrowed 30,000 yuan yesterday, and I didn't say when I would pay it back, what's going on?"

"Me too, Zhang Beichuan came to my house yesterday as a guest, you said come and come, what kind of gift to buy, just buy some simple gifts, it turned out to be two thousand or three thousand high-end goods, and I also stuffed my daughter with a red envelope of one thousand, which adds up to seven or eight thousand, I wonder if he is the same Zhang Beichuan before?"

People who know Zhang Beichuan are all talking about it, and finally came to a conclusion, this guy is either developed, or there is a conspiracy, and he must not be fooled!

……

After watching Su Yun's friends, Zhang Beichuan returned to his hometown.

His hometown is in a small mountain village in a more backward province in the central part of the country, and the people are generally poor.

However, as soon as he returned to his hometown, Zhang Beichuan found that the changes in his hometown were also quite big, with brightly decorated three-story small buildings abounding, and the roads were quite wide, and almost every household bought an electric car, so on the way home, the road was more congested.

The village has changed a lot, but the two-story red brick house belonging to Zhang Beichuan's family has not changed, after finding someone to pick the lock on the door, the people in the house who choked on the dust kept coughing, and it took a day to clean the room inside and out.

"Beichuan, don't clean it, this house is unlivable, go to my house to live."

The one who spoke was Zhang Beichuan's distant cousin, who was in his fifties and lived closer to Zhang Beichuan's house, and immediately came over to see him after seeing Zhang Beichuan return to his hometown.

Uncle Cousin is a good person, not only brought Zhang Beichuan to his house for dinner, but now that he is cleaning, he will take him to live with him.

"No need, cousin, I'll be ready to do it right away."

"It's useless for you to get it right, your bed is rotten, the quilt has been gnawed by rats, everything in the house is good, how can you live there? Let's go and stay at my house for a few days. ”

"This ......"

My cousin is right, except for a few walls in the house, all the household appliances and furniture are basically broken, and the water and electricity have been pinched off because of long-term arrears. It's nothing.

"It seems that this hometown is indeed inhabitable, forget it, let's go to my cousin's house for two days."

……

Uncle Cousin's house is still quite large, there are exactly two vacant rooms on the third floor, so Zhang Beichuan carried the box and lived in the bedroom facing east on the third floor.

My cousin has a son and a daughter, his son is 26 years old this year, one year younger than Zhang Beichuan, and his daughter is 22 years old and has just graduated from college this year.

Someday. When he sat at the table to eat, his cousin's face was ugly and he didn't say a word. The cousin clenched his fists and looked angry.

"Uncle Cousin, what's wrong?" Zhang Beichuan asked puzzledly, just now he was surfing the Internet upstairs and heard the sound of quarreling, so he wanted to go downstairs to have a look, but there was no more noise in the back. He didn't go.

"It's insatiable! This marriage is not married! Uncle Cousin slapped his palm on the table.

"Dad! Let's stop us going to Yunxia's house, we can't let them get out of the marriage! Cousin said.

"If we don't regret the marriage, we have to take out the money, how can our family have so much money?"

Repentance?

Just now, Zhang Beichuan heard words like "lawsuit" and "can't get out of the marriage" upstairs. It seems to have something to do with my cousin's marriage.

"Uncle Cousin, what the hell is going on, you tell me, maybe I can help you."

Uncle Cousin was slightly stunned. But seeing Zhang Beichuan's serious expression, coupled with the panic of being really aggrieved, he put this matter on the matter. 1510 said to Zhang Beichuan.

Zhang Beichuan nodded, it turned out that his cousin had booked a family affair with the daughter of a neighboring village last year, gave a bride price of 200,000 yuan, and was ready to get married on the fifteenth day of the first month of this year.

As a result, I don't know where I killed a Cheng Biting Jin, and gave 500,000 bride price to that family, and I also wanted to marry the woman named Yunxia.

Of course, of course, the woman's family can't accept two bride prices, and it is impossible to marry two men, but the woman's family is greedy for money, and when they see 500,000 yuan in front of them, they naturally can't look down on the 200,000 yuan they received last year, so the woman's family proposed to withdraw from the marriage to her cousin's family.

Of course, Uncle Cousin resolutely disagreed, the woman accepted his family's bride price, so naturally she couldn't accept someone else's bride price! This marriage must be consummated, but only with his son.

But money is a good thing, in the face of a huge bride price of 500,000 yuan, not only the woman's parents are tempted, but even the woman herself is also tempted, of course, the cousin's appearance is much more handsome than the competitor, the woman named Yunxia is still slightly inclined to the cousin, but the woman's parents do not let go, either withdraw from the marriage, or also take out 500,000 bride price!

"A few years ago, more than 200,000 yuan was spent to build this house."

"For Wen Qiang's marriage, our family worked hard for a few years, and we saved 200,000 yuan, how can there be 500,000?"

"500,000 can buy three or four Vietnamese daughters-in-law, they are insatiable!"

Uncle Cousin kept patting the table and said with a big frown.

Zhang Beichuan also learned that he didn't know what was going on, but now there seemed to be fewer and fewer women in ten miles and eight townships, and there were a lot of men and singles, and the result was: if you want to get a daughter-in-law, there are only two ways, first, find it nearby, but you must prepare a bride price of no less than two or three hundred thousand, and second, go to Vietnam, North Korea and other countries to buy a daughter-in-law, the price is slightly cheaper, as long as 100,000 yuan, but the risk is quite large, and it is possible to have both people and money.

Of course, the safest way is to find it nearby, although it costs a little more, but the risk is still relatively small.

It's just that I didn't expect that the market for this daughter-in-law has risen sharply, from two or three hundred thousand last year to four or five hundred thousand this year, and this is the case in many places.

In other words, if the cousin can't take out the 500,000, it is estimated that the woman's parents will definitely withdraw from the marriage and marry Yunxia to the one who paid 500,000.

Zhang Beichuan said: "Uncle cousin, in this way, it is difficult to find a daughter-in-law now, since my cousin has a little feeling for that Yunxia, or add some dowry, and tie the knot first." As for the money, don't worry, I have some money on me, I can lend you some, although it's not much, but I still have two or three hundred thousand. ”

"Beichuan, you lend us money?"

Uncle Cousin's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhang Beichuan incredulously.
