Chapter 70: See Mr. Ji Again
My grandfather's face was not good-looking, but his face darkened even more when he heard my words, "Xiao Jiang, don't listen to your grandma's nonsense, your color TV is yours, and no one can move it." ”
I didn't soothe at my grandfather's words this time, because Widow Zhang had already taken my grandmother's arm and muttered to her that she didn't know what to say.
"Oops......" My grandmother listened and listened, patted her thigh and shouted, "Oh, Qiong Yu's mother is right, then whoever has a good family should not honor the old man first, your color TV, I don't want yours, but you have to bring it over and let me see it first, I'm your grandmother." ”
Hearing her words, Widow Zhang's face darkened faster than mine.
She glared at my grandmother with some resentment, but when she saw my grandmother looking at her triumphantly, she suddenly showed a deflated expression.
I sneered beside me.
This widow originally wanted to provoke my grandmother to ask for a color TV, but she didn't expect that my grandmother was not stupid, and she directly shook her out, so Widow Zhang resented my grandmother a little.
Of course, these are all careful thoughts between just two women, and neither of them is the most important.
The most important thing for them is to snatch my color TV!
I looked at my grandmother's smug appearance coldly, and said angrily, "Does that grandma have a good one for us?" It is said that the elder Tzu is filial piety, grandma wants us to be filial, and we have to be a kind old lady first. ”
Shen Bi nodded beside him angrily, "That's it." ”
"How do you speak?" My grandmother listened to my grievances, and before she could scold, my father became furious, pointed at the tip of my nose and said, "Shen Jiang, how can you talk to your grandma?" Apologize to your grandma! ”
"Apologize? Why should I apologize? I calmly looked at this person who was called "Dad" by me and Shen Bi, and there was no temperature in my eyes, "Could it be that Dad thinks the same as Grandma, and he also covets my color TV and wants to come over?" ”
My dad was a little embarrassed by my eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I don't want your things, I just can't...... I can't accept you talking to your grandma like that! ”
"Oh...... I thought you were so greedy, Dad. "I have a point.
My dad's face turned red and purple, and his lips squirmed for a moment, and finally closed tightly again.
I sneered, "Here, I have to make it clear to you that I didn't buy that color TV." ”
My words made Widow Zhang and my grandmother, who were still muttering together, successfully silence their mouths.
"What, you didn't buy it? Who bought that? My grandmother asked, a little incredulous.
"That's it, you didn't buy it, who can be kind enough to use it for you." Widow Zhang also rolled her eyes and asked.
At this time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked together and ignored each other's past suspicions.
I glared at them one by one, and said indifferently, "It's a friend who temporarily stored it in my house, and I'll take it away after a while, otherwise you think I have the money to buy a color TV?" ”
"You have money, of course you have money, your shop is full of people every day, and I don't know how much money you make a month." My grandmother scoffed at my claims.
I ignored her and just looked at my dad, "Does my dad think my mom's personality will let me buy such an expensive color TV?" ”
My dad was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he whispered, "With Xiaojiang's mother's character, I will definitely not let me buy it, this color TV, at least a thousand......"
My grandmother and Widow Zhang closed their mouths at this time, looking a little depressed.
I glanced at them with satisfaction, took Shen Bi's little hand, said hello to my grandfather, and turned to go downstairs.
In Shen Bi's description - we were like refugees at that time.
I ran all the way downstairs and out of the small building before I stopped out of breath.
Shen Bi covered her mouth and giggled beside me, and only after laughing did she say, "Sister, why are you lying, didn't you say that the color TV was given to us by Mr. Ji?" Since it was given to us, it is ours. ”
"How else?" I glanced at Shen Bi with disgust, "If I don't say this, I will have to be entangled with our grandmother and Widow Zhang for a long time, I really don't have the patience to perfunctory them, and you and I will quarrel with them. ”
Shen Bi nodded thoughtfully.
I smiled and took her hand, "Let's go home." ”
Because here on the New Year's Day, one of them pays New Year's greetings to our relatives, and relatives like my mother avoid the past, which is said to be bad.
Zhang Xiaofei's family originally belonged to my father's side, but after working together in Qixiang for a long time, Zhang Xiaofei's mother and my mother became closer and closer, so I classified them as my mother's, and I didn't go to the New Year's greeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
When I got home, my mother was sitting on the bed staring at the TV in a daze, and when she heard us coming, she quickly stood up and saw that Shen Bi and I were in good spirits, and immediately exhaled.
It seems that my mother is also quite worried that our sisters will be angry at Xiaolou.
I smiled and hugged my mom, "Mom, what are you doing?" ”
"It's okay......" my mom smiled, and an inexplicable look flashed in her eyes.
My heart tightened.
In the past two days, I can see that my mother has something in her heart, but she has been reluctant to say it, and I don't want to force her, so I didn't ask.
But I still knocked on the side, "Mom, it's not easy for us to depend on each other, if you want to have anything, you have to tell me and Xiaobi in time, we have both grown up, I can help you share it." ”
My mom looked at me and hesitated.
I looked at her expectantly and waited for her to tell me what had happened.
However, my mom just glanced at me and lowered her head, "Okay, I know, Xiao Jiang." ”
It seems that he still refuses to say it.
I sighed, didn't push her anymore, got up and threw the ten dollars my dad had given me into the drawer.
Then, I tore open the two red envelopes that my grandfather had given.
There were twenty yuan in each red envelope.
I was a little surprised, remembering my grandfather's kind smile at me, and I couldn't help but sigh.
This old man is a kind-hearted person, but it's a pity that he blindly seeks peace, just hopes for family harmony, and doesn't want to interfere too much in my father's affairs.
Sometimes, I wish he could keep my dad in check.
Perhaps, there won't be any such mess.
Pulling the money out of the red envelope and merging it together, I turned around and handed it to my mother.
My mother held the money and sighed, "Your grandfather is a good one, if you have a chance, you still have to honor him, it is not easy for him in this life, your grandma is too strong...... Alas. ”
Perhaps, everyone has their own difficulties, but in fact, what kind of life is basically chosen by oneself.
This year, it went by quickly.
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past few days, our color TV has not stopped, and the adults and children in the neighborhood have come to see it, surrounding my door, making a noise.
I had an idea and asked my mom to make a simple hamburger and hot milk tea to sell at home.
My mother was reluctant at first, because we don't usually use knives and shovels or other equipment from the first to the fifth day of the new year, which is said to be a custom.
I enlightened her that it was important to make money or customs.
My mother has been running Qixiang for most of the year, and she knows how profitable food is, so after thinking about it for a long time, she made a small thing to sell.
I thought that not many people should buy it, but I didn't expect that not only the children bought it, but also the disgusting adults who ate dumplings also bought it, and for a while, the turnover actually went up, which was better than the ones sold in Seven Lane.
Other thoughts began to come alive in my heart.
On the eighth day of the first month, Mr. Ji came.
I didn't tell him where the house we rented was, but Mr. Ji found it anyway and drove his handsome-looking car to my doorstep.
At that time, there was still a deafening program on my TV at home, and there were a lot of children crowded inside and out, gathered there, eating and watching TV.
Mr. Ji couldn't squeeze in, so he pulled a child and gave him two pieces of candy, so that he could find me.
That day, Mr. Ji wore a rare hat to cover his handsome face, but he couldn't hide his straight posture.
I was dragged by the corner of the child's clothes, and as soon as I turned my head, I saw him in the crowd.
So dazzling, so handsome.
I was a little stunned, and after about a minute or so, I put down the burger in my hand, wiped my hands, and walked over.
"You offer free TV watching here, and you also give food to eat?" Mr. Ji laughed and teased me.
I blinked my eyes and said with a grin, "Mr. Ji was wrong, I was selling food, not giving food." ”
"Do you still do business during the Chinese New Year?" This time it was Mr. Ji's turn to be surprised, "You are really a little money fan." ”
"It's a fool not to make money if you have money." I smiled and said, "At first, my mother didn't want to, she said that she would just make something for the children to eat, but I thought that there were so many children, so many customers, so I didn't waste too much, so I tried to make a little, and these children were willing to buy it, and they were willing to eat and watch it at the same time, so I was not welcome, and I should open Seven Alleys in advance." ”
Mr. Ji looked at me appreciatively, "It seems that I really didn't see the wrong person, you are very talented in this area." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Ji, for the compliment." I couldn't help but smile, "But you also came early, I said that the accounts of the next county after the good year, I thought it would be at least after fifteen, but it turned out that you came on the eighth day of the first month." ”
Mr. Ji didn't laugh this time, "Something happened at home, and I was a little idle, so I came early." ”
I remembered the quarrel I heard on the phone before, and I wanted to ask a question or two, but then I thought that we were just business partners, and it was better not to involve personal issues, so I kept my mouth shut.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the next county town to settle accounts." Mr. Ji seemed to think so, and changed the topic with a smile.
I nodded, ran back to change my clothes, said to my mom again, and got into Mr. Ji's car.
