Chapter 8: An Alternative Life (4) Reunion through the Broken Mirror

Guo Kaixin, who has a lot of money, doesn't pay much attention to the business of collecting baskets, and with Xu Rong's group of half-grown children hugging him every day, he seems to have found the feeling of a big brother again. I eat and drink a lot every day, and I completely forget my bitterness in the number.

The gangsters who watched the car in the fruit wholesale market also learned that Guo Kaixin had made a lot of money, and he took this opportunity to start a basket collection business.

Guo Kaixin also knows that someone is working against him on the basket, in fact, he doesn't want to do this business for a long time. One is not very decent, and the other is that he can't make a fortune by collecting baskets, for the sake of long-term consideration, he still wants to do a money-making business.

After returning from the dump, he made several more trips to the sanitation bureau. The reply was that only one natural person could be contracted once a year, and even if others registered, they could not have relatives and friends with the original contractor. Guo Kaixin on the way home said secretly, this rule is really good, it seems that the leaders of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau are really capable, and I Guo Kaixin really admire it.

At the same time that Guo Kaixin was making a lot of money in the garbage dump, his ex-wife Shao Linlin also got rid of her low job and returned to her position as a nurse. Not only that, but she also increased her salary and was transferred to the high-level cadre ward. This once again caused a sensation in the entire maternity and infant hospital, and the rumors were even more overwhelming. Some say that Shao Linlin was given an "unspoken rule" by a certain leader in the courtyard and became someone's mistress. Some people also said that Shao Linlin's relatives were the head of the city, and in short, the public reply given by the hospital was that Shao Linlin worked in the water house in a down-to-earth manner, admitted her hard work and grievances, and strictly demanded herself as a communist-party-party member. In fact, a discerning person can know the Tao at a glance. These are all official words, Shao Linlin herself is not a party member at all, and may not even be a member of the league.

After Guo Kaixin broke off the basket collection business, he had a lot of free time. With a lot of money in his hands, he didn't want to find something to do right away, so the park became his main activity for the day.

While teaching his apprentices, he told his story to everyone. He always talks about others very powerfully, and he himself is very small.

Most of the people who listen to his story are young people. Especially those half-grown children who don't go to school, only they have time to listen to Guo Kaixin's stories, and older people don't like to listen to Guo Kaixin's nonsense at all.

Xu Rong has always been a fan of Guo Kaixin, and he thinks that although his brother Xu Ming is strong in martial arts, he lacks a bit of chivalry. Guo Kaixin is different, whenever someone needs help, the light one gives it away, and the heavy one puts other people's things. Treat it as your own business, this is the image of the eldest brother in Xu Rong's mind.

Guo Kaixin talked about his father, his eldest brother, and especially the third and fifth brothers who served in the army. The third brother is an ordinary soldier. But after his own efforts, he is now a mid-level officer. The fifth brother Guo Kaiqing is even more amazing, he is a hero on the battlefield, and even the wife he found is a "Mu Guiying" type character.

Xu Rong and the others were even more envious when they heard this. Under Guo Kaixin's teaching, they also got rid of the bad habit of being a hanger, and surrounded Guo Kaixin every day. A lot of good things have been done. When Xu Rong was still recruiting at the end of the year, he was taken back to his hometown by his brother and signed up for the army. Just because his hukou was not in City A, he had to go back to his hometown.

One day, the apprentice who had given Guo Kaixin news found Guo Kaixin and asked him if he wanted to open a bookstore, and he had a way to help Guo Kaixin.

Guo Kaixin has also been idle for a while, and as soon as he heard about this good thing, he immediately agreed.

The first step in opening a bookstore is to ask someone to apply for a license, which is not easy to do in City A in the 80s. It's just that City A has very strict management of bookstores, and individual bookstores are even more "rare", which is very difficult. However, the man who guaranteed the ticket told Guo Kaixin that as long as he wanted to do everything, he could ask his relatives and friends to help him do everything.

Because of the experience of the garbage dump, Guo Kaixin trusted this person even more, and when the sales license arrived in Guo Kaixin's hands, Guo Kaixin was even more grateful to the five bodies and offered the person as a bodhisattva.

Guo Kaixin's bookstore is not far from his home. Because the rent here is very cheap, and there are many schools around, the only competition with me is the local "Xinhua Bookstore". However, the state-run bookstore opened very late, and the prices of books were not discounted, which left profit margins for Guo Kaixin's bookstore.

Guo Kaixin's bookstore is called "Guanxin Shuhai", and the name was given by an apprentice. After a simple renovation, it opened, which made Guo Kaixin feel strange that he didn't have to go to the book city to load the goods by himself, and many booksellers from state-owned publishing houses took the initiative to find him, and some didn't even need Guo Kaixin to pay a penny to let him sell on his behalf, and the books he brought were all bestsellers at that time. Gradually, Guo Kaixin also believed in his fate, obediently, he couldn't stop him from dying, he used to have ideas on his back, but now he has transferred them, and it is difficult to get rich or not.

Since the opening of the bookstore, good news has come one after another, and the manager of City A Audio-Visual Publishing House has also approached Guo Kaixin and offered to act as an agent for their audio-visual products, tapes and videotapes. After Guo Kaixin thought it was feasible, he rented two stores next to the bookstore and turned them into an audio-visual bookstore, named "Tingyin Painting Pavilion", and now became the big boss of the two bookstores.

More than a year later, Guo Kaixin, who had made money, also bought a trolley, which was a very fashionable "big-toed shoe" at that time, and its scientific name was "Fiat". Although the car is very small, there are a lot of people who sit in it, and there can be several seats in front and back, which makes Guo Kaixin look extraordinary, and he also drives to his hometown from time to time and goes back to let his brothers and parents take a look.

After Xu Rong arrived in the army, he often wrote to Guo Kaixin, telling him about his life in the army, and now he has become a deputy squad leader, and he also applied for "border war", but he was not approved for a while, which made him very regretful. He also wants to learn from Guo Kaiqing's appearance back then and become a combat hero.

Guo Kaixin also wrote back to Xu Rong, asking him to guard against arrogance and rashness, not to be arrogant and complacent, and to do more good deeds to help others. It doesn't matter whether you participate in the war or not, what matters is that there is meaning in life.

For more than a year, Shao Linlin's work in the maternity and infant hospital has also been very smooth, and she has also become the head nurse, which she did not expect. Not only that, because the Maternity and Infant Hospital is a municipal institution, her son Shao Xiaogang can also go to the kindergarten of the Listing Committee. This made her even more happy, and when she sent her son to school, tears flowed down her eyes. Because it is very difficult for her to take care of her son alone, it is really an eye-opener, not only gave her the honor of work, but her son also went to a good school.

The sixth brother Guo Kaiying discussed with the eldest brother Guo Kaiwei, and still told Guo Kaixin about Shao Xiaogang. When they told the story of the round book and the plate, Guo Kaixin was stupid, sitting on the newly bought sofa, motionless.

At this time, Guo Kaiying was anxious, "What do you think, do you want to find a young and beautiful person when you have money, and you don't want this girl." ”

Indeed, recently the sister of one of Guo Kaixin's apprentices got along with Guo Kaixin, this scheming older leftover girl, at a glance, took a fancy to Guo Kaixin as a "potential stock". She used the unique gentleness of women to defeat Guo Kaixin, and they were like a person.

A few years later, Guo Kaixin boarded the door of Shao Linlin's house. Far away, the child's laughter echoed around the broken house, Guo Kaixin couldn't help but speed up his pace and knocked on the door of the Shao family.

Today, squad leader Shao is also at home, he has no surprise at Guo Kaixin's visit, the reason is not long ago, Guo Kaiying notified him by phone, their family also held a family meeting, the result is that Guo Kaixin can be forgiven, and his daughter can also remarry him.

Guo Kaixin's trip to the Shao family surprised Guo Kaixin, and the people of the Shao family did not scold him, but were very polite to him, which moved him. Back home, lying on the bed, Guo Kaixin was thinking about how to explain to his current girlfriend and ask for their understanding.

When Guo Kaixin had the courage to have a showdown with his girlfriend, the woman was unusual, "Guo Kaixin, you stinky rascal, you have a wife and children, and you are still cheating on the little girl outside, you bastard~"

The woman's words were hard to hear, but Guo Kaixin didn't get angry, and the two agreed that Guo Kaixin would take out 20,000 yuan as a "youth loss fee" for the woman.

Guo Kaixin and Shao Linlin remarried, and they held a wedding again, although it was held at three o'clock in the afternoon, but there were many relatives and friends who came. Someone jokingly said, "Shao Xiaogang is so funny, and he also participated in his parents' wedding, it's funny." Someone said, "Linlin has suffered a lot for the fourth child, and it is time to return the name of the family." ”

At the same time, in front of the hotel, the sound of cars was loud. More than 30 motorcycles came from afar, which was a rarity at the time. The leader is none other than Guo Kaixin's old acquaintance - his brother Liu Sheng, there is a person standing next to him, that person is the person who has been giving Guo Kaixin ideas, Guo Kaixin understood everything at first sight, it turned out that everything he got was arranged by Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng is no longer the Liu Sheng of the year, he is now the tycoon of City A.

Shao Linlin also stepped forward to receive Liu Sheng, "Thank you, thank you, without you, I would still be boiling water in the boiling water, and thank you for helping my son find a kindergarten." ”

Guo Kaixin hugged Liu Sheng's shoulders and never let go, Liu Sheng changed his admiration for Guo Kaixin back then, "Brother Xin, you live well, that is, I am a good son, I wish you a happy family and all the best." (To be continued......)
