"Dad, I'm done with my living expenses this month, can you give me some more?"

The background voice on the other end of the phone was noisy, "X, I'm hanging up again, how do you call the auxiliary, can you call later?" and a few more words of scolding, "Okay, Dad, I won't tell you yet, you remember to call me later, I'm going to have something here... Okay, okay, keep going..."

"Okay, son, dad will be later... Before the words fell, the phone hung up impatiently. It was only early in the morning, and my son called again to ask for money. Lao Lu sighed, put the phone back in his close-fitting waist bag, and prepared to put on the hard hat he had just taken off to answer the phone. At this time, the phone rang again: "You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky, so beautiful..."

"Hey, Xiaowen, Dad will call you later..."Lao Lu thought that his son had dialed over again, and hurriedly spoke.

"Dad, I'm Xiaoya..."On the other end of the phone, it was Lao Lu's eldest daughter Lu Ya.

"Oh, Xiaoya, good daughter, how is it at school lately, are you nervous about your homework? Dad told you, don't be too tired yourself..."

Lao Lu has two children, the eldest daughter Lu Ya and the younger son Lu Wen. Lu Ya has been excellent in character and learning since she was a child, no matter in life or study, she never has to worry about Lao Lu. Since he was admitted to the university the year before last, not only did he not let Lao Lu pay a penny for the tuition fee, but he also didn't take care of the family's living expenses every month. But in contrast, the youngest son, Lu Wen, is one day and one earth.

Maybe it's because of the preference for sons in the countryside, since the birth of her son, all the thoughts of Lao Lu's daughter-in-law have been on this son. is pampered when he is born, and what is good to eat, drink and have fun at home is close to his son first, Lao Lu is quite open-minded, thinking that his daughter and son are the same, and discipline or something should be treated equally. can't stand the mother who has a calf protector, and since she was a child, she has held it in the palm of her hand for fear of falling and holding it in her mouth for fear of melting, so she will spoil a lawless personality when she comes and goes.

Since Lao Lu's daughter-in-law got a serious illness last year and left without waiting until winter, Lao Lu couldn't stay in his hometown. After all, after 30 years of husband and wife, although the arranged marriage relationship is not very deep, but after all, they are the parents of two children, and they have survived each other to this day, so for Lao Lu, who is not talking, the sadness in his heart is even more uncomfortable. On the other hand, although the daughter doesn't need Lao Lu to worry about it, but this unconscious son will take the college entrance examination next year. So after Lao Lu sent his daughter-in-law away, he stayed at home for less than 3 months, and followed a few fellow villagers to this construction site in the provincial capital to do small work. I get up early and stay late every day, and there is no other expense for food and accommodation for a month, so I can save a small 60,000 or 70,000 yuan all year round.

Lao Lu usually doesn't like to talk much, and his daughter has been a stuffy gourd since she was a child, and when her daughter-in-law was there, because she was a mother who preferred her son, she didn't have much communication with her daughter, let alone now. So from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, when the daughter came home for the New Year, the two of them said a few words, and there was usually no phone call. Suddenly, his daughter called, Lao Lu was surprised and very happy, and couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Dad, that's the case, I need some money recently, so can you..." "Well... Okay, how much do you need, Dad will call you in two days. Lao Lu was a little surprised when he heard his daughter's request, but he didn't care too much, but he felt a sense of relief in his heart. To some extent, this independent daughter has brought a kind of pressure to him, a father, and it may sometimes be needed and a psychological need.

"I want 50,000. Lu Ya said.

"Many... How much?" Lao Lu thought he had misheard.

"50,000, I want 50,000, Dad. This time, Lao Lu heard clearly. "Child, why do you want so much money all at once, what are you going to do with it?" Lao Lu was a little panicked, thinking that something had happened to his daughter. "Dad, don't ask more, I didn't use it to do bad things, I need 50,000, I want it this week, do you have it there?" Lu Ya said word by word. "Dad... Now there are not so many around, I'm going to go to the boss today to make an advance, don't worry, Dad will call you when he gets it.." Lao Lu hurriedly said, his daughter asked him to speak for the first time, and he couldn't let his daughter down.

"Okay, thank you, Dad, I'll wait for your letter. After speaking, Lu Ya hung up the phone.

Lao Lu, who put down the phone, frowned, and he began to think about how much money he still had by his side now. It's been out for half a year, in addition to some of the daughter-in-law's funeral expenses that the village people helped pay in advance, and now there are more than 10,000 around me, and I will pay my salary next week.

After work, Lao Lu Huo hurriedly went to the commissary to carry a cigarette and two bottles of wine, which was still the villager who took him out with him to support him, this foreman surnamed Wang is very refreshing, but he is a good face in the Northeast, and he can help if a worker asks him for help, but the face has to be enough, and people care about this.

Although they are all on the construction site, the foreman will definitely not roll the chase shop or go up and down the ladder with the workers.

Lao Lu came to Beiye, knocked on the door and entered, Wang Tou'er happened to be there: "Lao Lu, what are you looking for me?yo, why are you still carrying things, do you have something to ask me for help?" Lao Lu nodded and stuffed cigarettes and wine into Wang Tou'er's hand, and hurriedly told Wang Tou'er his thoughts to the bottom.

"That's the thing, Wang Tou'er, you also know that I am not a person who does not keep my promises, so I will advance my salary with you in advance, and I hope you can do me a favor. Lao Lu said with a smile.

"So, Lao Lu, it's not that I don't help you, but you know that I also have one hundred and ten people under me, if everyone is in charge of me, they will come with me to predict the salary, where do I have so much money to advance, and the developer can't give me so much advance money for the project, isn't that reasonable. Wang Tou'er was smoking a cigarette with an impatient face, "I'll give you an idea, I have a brother, who specializes in private small loans, and in your case, you don't meet the loan qualifications, but after all, my brother, I told him that when the time comes, you will borrow 30,000 yuan, and then use your salary to finish, what do you think?"

"Loans... This... The interest is..."Lao Lu was a little helpless, because Wang Tou'er's words were also reasonable. "You can rest assured of the interest, I will definitely help you tell my friend to give you a discount, tomorrow I will ask him to bring the loan contract to you to see, you can rest assured." Wang Tou'er sent Lao Lu away in a few words, and Lao Lu had to go out resignedly.

"This... Is it reliable..."Lao Lu asked himself, he didn't have any bottom in his heart, but there was no other way at the moment, he could only wait for Wang Tou'er's letter.

The next day, Wang Tou'er called his brother who was a private lender over, took Lao Lu to a small restaurant near the construction site to drink, and gave Lao Lu the loan contract by the way.

"O king, and this brother... It's called Brother Li, right, I see that this contract says that I borrowed 30,000 3, and actually got 30,000, and then I have to repay a total of 40,000 after half a year, this interest... It's not low..."Lao Lu asked puzzled.

"It's such a brother," Wang Tou'er's buddy on the side, a man named Brother Li hurriedly explained, "This loan regulation is a company regulation, and the contract has to be written like this, you are Wang Tou'er's friend, this is a formality, let's borrow 30,000 yuan, and you can directly repay 500 more after half a year, and I should do you a favor." ”

"Well, well, how embarrassing it is, doing me so much. Lao Lu didn't think much about it, but felt a little embarrassed, borrowing 30,000 yuan for half a year, with an interest of 500 yuan.

"That's it, Li, don't you have something to do later, hurry up and sign the contract with Lao Lu and leave. Lao Lu, we have to go back to the construction site to catch up after eating, drinking, hurrying up. The king drank the wine and began to pry people.

"Okay, okay, that's it, I'll transfer the money to Brother Lu on the next road." Brother Li took the conversation, signed the contract with Lao Lu, and then flashed.

After Brother Li left, Lao Lu asked sneeringly: "Wang Tou'er, I heard that the contract can't be signed randomly, this... There won't be any problems, right?" "Don't worry, brother, this is not an old acquaintance, and you are waiting for the money, and I won't tell him that there is a way, you think about it yourself, now, where are you going, don't say anything, someone lent you money? Wang Tou'er slapped his chest loudly, "You sign the contract here, that is the task index that Xiao Li wants to complete for the company, so you must get that number, how many of our brothers should be how much or how much, you don't care if he borrows money, he completes the company's tasks, helps each other and is fair!" After speaking, he took Lao Lu, paid the bill, and went back to the construction site. Of course, Wang Tou'er is going back to "Beiye" to take a nap, and Lao Lu still has to go to work.

With a stomach full of doubts, Lao Lu worked hard all afternoon, and he was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist. This Brother Li is still very good, ask to understand that Lao Lu can't play with smart phones, can't transfer money on mobile phones, and went straight to the construction site with 30,000 cash at 6 o'clock in the afternoon to give Lao Lu, and finally let Lao Lu put his heart down, taking advantage of dinner time, Lao Lu was ready to go to the bank ATM machine to transfer money to his daughter. At this moment, Lao Lu's mobile phone rang again: "You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky, so beautiful will leave you and stay..."

Lao Lu picked up the phone and saw that it was Lu Wen: "Hey, son, Dad knows about transferring money, I'll transfer it later..."
