After dinner, we took the subway from the Erqi district back to the single room I rented.

Although I cleaned up carefully early in the morning, Lao Hao and Zhang Xu were also stunned when they saw where I lived.

Lao Hao didn't say anything, sat on the bed and observed carefully.

And Zhang Xu, with his waist in his hand, asked me: "I said handsome, you don't have a job, how much does it cost you to rent this small single room a month?" ”

I smiled awkwardly: "Five hundred." ”

Zhang Xu stared at me for a moment, and then said: "Actually, if you want me to say, you should go to the undergraduate, and change your job after you get a bachelor's degree, you said that you are renting a house here now, buying and eating, how much money can you save in a month, the average salary in Zhengzhou is 3,000 yuan, don't be too ugly when I speak, you are 3,000 yuan a month, and you must not be a moonlight family when you pay rent." ”

I just smiled, I don't know how ugly the smile was, I only saw Lao Hao sitting on the bed smoking cigarettes one after another.

"What's that, Zhang Xu, in this way, let's go to the hotel and open a room for a few nights later, and don't squeeze Hao Shuai anymore."

Lao Hao probably wanted to save face for me, so he looked up at Zhang Xu.

"Okay, no problem, handsome didn't I say you, I personally don't care, you said that your father came to see you from home, and now you don't even have a place to live, what do you say, otherwise you follow me to the hotel for a few years, usually a little tired, but make a lot of money."

Zhang Xu took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one, and the whole person looked very confident.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Lao Hao snuffed out the cigarette butt, got up from the bed and waved his hand at Zhang Xu: "Zhang Xu, there's nothing wrong here, let's go first, find a place to rest first." ”

"Okay."

I sent Lao Hao and Zhang Xu out of the community, and a voice stopped me.

"Mr. Qin."

Qin Xue slowly parked the Land Rover to the side, brushed her hair and walked towards us.

"Hao Shuai, you live here."

Qin Xue is dressed in casual clothes today, although she is wearing light makeup, her innate temperament will make others feel nervous no matter who she faces.

Qin Xue looked at Lao Hao and Zhang Xu, then looked at me and asked, "Hao Shuai, who is this uncle?" ”

"Ah, he's my dad, and then he's my cousin."

I introduced it stupidly, and when Qin Xue heard it, she became more enthusiastic, and she gestured to Zhang Xu and looked at Lao Hao.

"Uncle, my name is Qin Xue, and I am good friends with Hao Shuai."

Since the moment Qin Xue got out of the car just now, the eyes of this old Hao and Zhang Xu were straight.

I could feel that Lao Hao was also a little nervous at this time, and he smiled politely at Qin Xue and glanced at me.

"Hao Shuai, your brother and I will leave first, and let your brother send you the address of the hotel later, you, you and your friends can stay here."

With that, Lao Hao and Zhang Xu prepared to leave.

"Uncle, where are you going, I, I also have a house here, if you don't have a place to live, you can live here first, isn't it more cost-effective than you going out to find a hotel."

Lao Hao stopped, glanced at me, and looked at Qin Xue very embarrassed: "Miss Qin, this is not good. ”

"Hey, what's wrong with this, Hao Shuai and I are friends, let's go, I'll take you over now."

I don't want Lao Hao to live in Qin Xue's house, I'm a person who doesn't like to owe favors.

But he didn't want Lao Hao and Zhang Xu to look for a place to live, so he could only follow Qin Xue into the community.

Qin Xue left in a hurry after making a rough arrangement, and before leaving, she specially instructed us to find her if we needed anything.

The moment the door closed, I was a little irritable from the bottom of my heart.

I'm just a recent college graduate, I don't know why Qin Xue is so good to me, I even wonder if she has some purpose, but then I think about it, what value can I have in her to make use of.

"Hao Shuai, come over here."

When Hao came out of the bathroom, he waved at me and called me to the balcony.

Lao Hao's face was full of seriousness, and he handed me a cigarette and lit one himself.

"I ask you, what's the matter with that girl?"

"What's going on?"

Lao Hao stared at my eyes, shook his cigarette ash and said in a serious tone: "Pretend, still pretend with me, Hao Shuai, I don't care what your relationship is now, but Hao Shuai, you remember, our family is a rural family, and Dad has no objection to you falling in love, but I advise you not to think about a girl like this." ”

I had expected that Lao Hao would talk to me about this, which inevitably made me want to laugh.

"Dad, I know what you mean, I'm working in her company, she's my boss, the two of us just have a subordinate relationship, nothing else, besides, do you think a successful woman like her will take a fancy to your son, I'm ashamed, I am ashamed that you came to see me, I even let you sleep somewhere."

I took a sharp puff of my cigarette and looked at Lao Hao's expression, only then did I realize that my words were heavy.

"Since you want to stay here, then I will support you, but you remember, home will always be your harbor, when you want to go back, go back, as for the rest, as long as you don't take it to heart, Dad can still work for a few years, and then save a few years of bride price money for you, and when you marry a daughter-in-law, then life really needs you to take care of yourself."

Lao Hao extinguished the cigarette, turned around and went back to the house.

All of a sudden, I felt a sudden sour feeling in my heart, and at the same time I hated myself very much, hating myself for not being able to change all this.

After smoking a cigarette, I also returned to the living room, and as soon as Zhang Xu saw me, he immediately stood up from the sofa.

"I said handsome, you can really do it, I know such a rich friend, I can understand it, you, sooner or later, you will make a lot of money."

I also expected Zhang Xu's attitude, because this is the case in the countryside.

If you have money, others will respect you, but if you have no money, others will not treat you as a human being at all.

Guo Degang has a good saying, the poor play ten steel hooks on the street, but they can't hook the flesh and blood of their relatives, and the rich people pick up wooden sticks in the deep mountains and old forests, and they can't break up their unrighteous relatives and friends.

At this moment, it is exactly that.

"Hey, Shuai'er, you said that you are twenty-one this year, you have graduated from college, do you have a girlfriend, I think this Qin girl is very good, get along with others, if you can marry such a girl, it is really a blessing that you have cultivated in your previous life."

"Brother, don't talk nonsense, she and I are ordinary friends."

Zhang Xu smiled, waved his hand at me and said: "You, you are still hiding from me, I can see it, other girls are interesting to you, you look at how good this house is, how can you live in it, if you can marry Miss Qin, then your family will not have to worry about it in this life, to put it simply, even if you want to be someone's son-in-law, then you are also going to enjoy happiness, don't you say?" ”
