Although pick-up man is a common word on the Internet in Bai Mengdie's later life, Shi Lei is a high school student who is about to graduate, and he can understand the meaning of pick-up man in context.

His face flushed slightly: "You don't need to say this, grandma has already instructed me and Brother Shengzi to them." ”

Bai Mengdie was relieved.

The brother and sister washed their faces and took the snow leopard home with them.

When passing by the gate of Yuanyuan's house, Bai Mengdie deliberately glanced inside, and happened to meet Yuanyuan also looking out.

When the two looked at each other, Yuan Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.

The old lady packed home-cooked tofu, spicy crayfish and braised grass carp brother for one night and asked Shi Lei to send them to Bai Er's grandfather and his wife.

When he came back from delivering the food, the old man and they all took over the work, and they just happened to start eating.

The dishes cooked by Bai Mengdie are delicious, and everyone is very satisfied.

Bai Mengdie saw that the snow leopard had no bones to gnaw on, only white rice to eat, and felt that it was so pitiful, so she sandwiched a piece of home-cooked tofu and threw it in the snow leopard's rice bowl.

The snow leopard just sniffed and didn't eat it.

Bai Sheng looked amused: "When did you see a dog eating soy products?" Unless it is roasted in lard, it is still possible to eat it. ”

Bai Mengdie thought to herself, she knew that the dog didn't eat soy products, so she wouldn't waste that piece of tofu, and it was better to eat it yourself.

Early in the morning of Saturday, Bai Mengdie dressed up beautifully, and went to the provincial capital with Tian Chunfang after breakfast.

Although Tian Chunfang and Li Yuhuan went back and forth to the provincial capital many times a while ago in order to do some small business, Tian Chunfang stepped into the provincial capital again, and when crossing the road, he still panicked in the face of traffic, and always felt very dangerous.

However, no matter how nervous Tian Chunfang was, when crossing the street, he always walked on the side of the car that came from him, protecting Bai Mengdie under his thin wings.

Bai Mengdie looked at her panicked appearance when crossing the street, feeling sorry for her, heartwarming, and a little funny at the same time.

When they arrived in the provincial capital, the mother and daughter went to Xinhua Bookstore first and gave the specially prepared basket of vegetables to the store manager.

The store manager didn't expect that a small gesture that day would attract this fat girl to thank him, and he was very moved, and said thank you repeatedly.

After coming out of the Xinhua bookstore, the mother and daughter went to the post office to get 30 phone cards.

Bai Mengdie still has thirty unsold copies in his hand, plus the thirty pieces in the current batch, a total of sixty pieces.

There are still two weeks to go before the summer vacation, and she doesn't want to press the goods in her hands, so she estimates that she can buy as many goods as she can sell.

In the end, the mother and daughter went to Hanzheng Street to approve some stationery and homework books, but they didn't dare to take more, but only took the amount they sold for two weeks.

Bai Mengdie walked and shopped while batching, and saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

She hurriedly pulled Tian Chunfang to a corner and hid, staring at the familiar figure, that person was none other than Bai Jie.

The boy who accompanies her is Haitao.

Bai Mengdie exclaimed, Haitao, the licking dog, deserves its name, and is already a king.

Bai Jie's other licking dogs have all abandoned the Lord and fled, but he is the only one who will not give up!

Seeing that the things that Bai Jie was carrying were all stationery and the like, Bai Mengdie's heart moved, could it be that this dog thing wanted to steal business with him?

She has already made a reputation for doing business at school, and this dog thing can't do anything if she wants to steal business with her!

When Bai Jie and Haitao walked away, Bai Mengdie took Tian Chunfang out of hiding.

Tian Chunfang locked her eyebrows and looked at the direction where Bai Jie disappeared, and asked worriedly: "I saw that dog Dongqi bought a lot of pen books and other things, shouldn't she also sell these on campus?" ”

Bai Mengdie took her hand and walked forward, and said nonchalantly: "If she wants to sell, let her sell it, everyone will do their own business and make their own money." ”

Tian Chunfang didn't want others to compete with Bai Mengdie for cakes, but she just didn't want that person to be Bai Jie.

scolded with a black face: "Shameless, rob other people's business!" ”

Bai Mengdie sneered: "If you have a mother, you must have a daughter, and if you have such a shameless mother, you will naturally have such a shameless daughter, there is nothing to be angry about." ”

The mother and daughter finished the goods and rushed to the agreed station, Bai Aiguo had not yet come, and waited for more than half an hour before Bai Aiguo hurried over.

He only asked the foreman for half a day's leave, and he was not allowed to leave until the hour.

Tian Chunfang's eyes have stayed on Bai Aiguo's face since he saw him, his eyes were full of distress, and he muttered: "I haven't seen you lose so much weight in just a few weeks, and you are so tanned!" ”

Bai Aiguo hurriedly glanced at her and signaled her not to talk nonsense.

Tian Chunfang knew that she was speechless, so she quickly shut up, and glanced at Bai Mengdie, seeing that she seemed to be noticing, she was relieved.

Bai Aiguo said with a smile: "Running around to buy a house, how can there be anyone who is not black or thin!" It's all about you. ”

Bai Mengdie thought of something and said it directly: "Even if it is hard to buy a house, it will not be black and thin to such a point, it is like digging coal." ”

When Qian Chunfang heard this, her heart immediately pinched, and she looked at Bai Aiguo uneasily.

Bai Aiguo was much calmer than her, hehe, laughed twice, and his eyes fell on Bai Mengdie's body: "Our daughter seems to have lost a lot of weight, at least twenty pounds." ”

Tian Chunfang immediately cooperated to change the topic: "It's not!" Fortunately, she was given a baby doll dress, which can be worn by fat and thin. ”

The bus they want to get on is coming, and a family of three gets on the bus, and they can get to the other side of the river in two and a half hours by taking the second bridge of the Yangtze River, which is more than an hour less than going around the bridge.

The construction of the second bridge is really beneficial to the people!

After crossing the Second Yangtze River Bridge, turn right for two stops to arrive at the entrance of the National Cotton Factory Community.

When Bai Mengdie got off the second bridge by bus, she had already seen that the area closest to the bridgehead on the main road to the provincial government was being demolished.

She remembers very clearly that the demolished plot was the location of the landmark Shoppingmall commercial building in the Xudong business district.

It is estimated that the Shoppingmall Group has only now acquired the land and is preparing for the construction of the shopping mall.

The most troublesome thing about building a building is the demolition work, as long as the demolition work is done in place, and all the demolition households are properly arranged, it is not a matter to build a building or anything in the later stage.

Although Shoppingmall is a business district in Xudong, it only has five floors, and it should be built quickly, and it can be built in a year.

Shoppingmall is well built, and with the help of its unique geographical location, it quickly became popular, thus bringing fire to the entire Xudong business district.

The more Bai Mengdie thought about it, the more excited she became, as long as the shoppingmall began to be built, the houses her family bought would definitely appreciate in tandem with the shoppingmall, and there was huge room for appreciation. Yoyo Book League

It's a pity that I don't have any money, otherwise I would like to buy ten sets of eight houses!

After arriving at the station, Bai Mengdie took Tian Chunfang's hand and followed Bai Aiguo off the bus.

At the thought of having a total of four houses in the city, the family of three was in a good mood, and there were talks and laughter along the way.

Every winter and summer vacation, Bai Aiguo will bring the original owner to live in the city, so that the original owner can feel the prosperity of the provincial capital, and he can also take care of his baby in person, so as to relieve the feelings of the father and daughter living separately.

Bai Mengdie has the memory of the original owner, so after getting out of the car, he and Bai Aiguo, who are familiar with the road, walked to the family area of the national cotton factory.

There are 10 five-story buildings in the family area of the national cotton factory.

When entering the family area, Bai Mengdie noticed that the door of the guard room in the family area was locked, and there was no one on duty inside.

She pointed to the empty guard room and asked Bai Aiguo: "Dad, is the efficiency of your unit already so poor, you can't even afford to hire a doorman." ”

Tian Chunfang was a little flustered, but Bai Mengdie didn't notice it.

Bai Aiguo stretched out his hand and rubbed Bai Mengdie's head, and said with a smile: "Just your sharp eyes, even you have noticed this." ”

He nodded and sighed: "It's true that the factory is not profitable, so the guards are laid off." ”

Then he smiled self-deprecatingly: "It doesn't matter if there is a doorman in our poor jingle community, no one has any savings, and there is no need to spend 400 yuan to hire a doorman to protect a group of poor people!" ”

Bai Mengdie smiled and quipped: "Dad bought three houses in the unit in one go, didn't he become the richest man in the family area?" ”

Bai Aiguo laughed embarrassedly: "Let's keep a low profile, and besides, those houses were all bought with debts, and I don't know when I can pay them off." ”

When Bai Mengdie heard him say this, her heart suddenly moved, and she was about to open her mouth to tell him something, when many people in the family area greeted Bai Aiguo: "Director Bai, take your wife and children to the city to play and see the newly bought house." ”

Bai Aiguo responded with a lovely smile.

Because of being a small cadre, coupled with Bai Aiguo's kindness and never bullying others, he is very popular in the family area, and people greet him warmly wherever he goes, Bai Mengdie has never had the opportunity to talk to Bai Aiguo.

Bai Aiguo took his wife and daughter to see the big apartment he bought first.

The large apartment is located on the fourth floor of a building in the middle of this family area, and Bai Mengdie is quite satisfied with the floor.

Don't buy the first floor and the top floor when you buy a house, the sewers on the first floor are easy to block, and the top floor loves water seepage in a rainstorm, and it is particularly hot indoors in summer.

In the big set that belonged to their family, Bai Mengdie was finally able to talk to Bai Aiguo.

"Dad, listen to Mom, the 200,000 yuan Dad used 173,000, so there is still 28,000, isn't it?"

Bai Aiguo shook his head: "There are no 28,000 left, only 27,700 yuan." ”

Tian Chunfang, who was looking at the house, turned her head when she heard this, and asked suspiciously: "Why did you use three hundred yuan?" ”

Bai Aiguo closed the door with his backhand, so that his wife and daughter could watch the house with peace of mind, so as not to be disturbed by neighbors.

"Doesn't our family have two big, two small and four houses now, I plan to live in this one, and the big house and the two small houses in my own name are all rented, and this doesn't cost the whole money, otherwise how can I rent it."

Doors and windows had to be repainted, walls had to be repainted, and wires had to be re-repainted, all of which cost money.

For the 300 yuan, I bought the wire and asked someone to re-run the wire.

The house is rented to others to live in, safety first, and there are potential safety hazards when the wires are aging, so this money cannot be saved.

When I'm done with the wires, I'll have to pay 300 yuan for the work, and then I'll be able to paint and paint the walls on my own, but it will cost some money to buy the raw materials, and maybe hundreds of miles! ”

Tian Chunfang was surprised: "Is the salary so expensive now?" It costs hundreds of dollars to ask someone to take a wire! ”

Bai Aiguo sighed speechlessly: "I'm still looking for an acquaintance, so the price of people is a little discounted, as long as three hundred yuan is about the same, if you go to find someone on the road, no four hundred or five people will not come to do it!" ”

Bai Mengdie sneered: "Mom thought she was farming in the countryside, she didn't need any technical content, just be hardworking."

Walking wires is a technical job, and the more practical technical work you are, the more profitable it is, and it is normal for the salary to be high. ”

Tian Chunfang still has such a large salary as painful.

After nagging for a while, she asked with some confusion: "Why do you live in this set?" We live in our original house, isn't it easy to rent out this one? ”

Bai Mengdie said with a smile: "Mom, Dad's welfare house is located on the third floor, which is better to rent than the fourth floor."

Renting a house is reluctant to rent too high a floor, because they are afraid of climbing the floor, so of course we live on the fourth floor. ”

"I see!" Tian Chunfang nodded suddenly in realization.

Bai Mengdie turned her face to Bai Aiguo and said: "In addition to the three houses to be rented, the big house we want to live in also has to be renovated, at least a few thousand, and the furniture has to be bought again, which is another expense." ”

She discussed and asked Bai Aiguo: "Is it enough to leave 5,000 yuan for my father to decorate the whole house?" ”

Bai Aiguo looked at his fat baby and groaned: "Don't decorate the big house we live in, don't buy new furniture, we will use old furniture."

Our family's house purchase money is all borrowed, now worry about how to repay the debt, how can you waste money casually, we have to save as much as possible~"

Bai Mengdie stroked her forehead: "Dad, it's best to decorate the house before moving in, and it's comfortable to live in the future, you can't wait for the money to decorate it, everyone lives in, it will be very troublesome to decorate, and there is no way to save this money."

I didn't plan to make my dad pretend to be luxurious, the water and electricity would have to go again, the walls would have to be white, and the tattered wooden windows would have to be replaced with alloy windows.

The anti-theft network must also be safe, we don't even have a doorman in this community, and no matter how uneasy the anti-theft net is, I am worried about it!

In addition, the toilet and kitchen must be decorated, and then the floor of the home must be covered with floors or tiles, so that it is easy to do hygiene.

There must be some cabinets in the room, otherwise where to put the clothes and quilts? These are all necessary, don't save it! ”

Bai Aiguo and his wife were relatively speechless.

The debt of hundreds of thousands is pressed on their chests, they can't even breathe every day, and they can't spend a penny as two cents, so how to save money and how to come.

But the baby daughter has to be comfortable...... They didn't know what to do.

Bai Mengdie saw the reluctance of Bai Aiguo and his wife, and continued to persuade him: "Dad, Mom, I know that you think our family's debts are as heavy as mountains, so you don't dare to spend money casually, I just want to talk to my dad about making money." ”

Bai Aiguo asked with interest: "Do you have a good way to make money?" ”

Bai Mengdie pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course there is!" ”

Tian Chunfang patted her fat arm: "If there is a good way, tell your dad quickly, don't sell it, you see that your dad is so anxious that his muscles are violent." ”
