Chapter 55: Relatives who hate the poor and love the rich
"I'm no ordinary scorpion, take a closer look. ”
Zheng Qilin pointed.
"This scorpion is so big...... Varieties from abroad?"
The middle-aged man in charge of the contract was curious.
"It was captured and domesticated in the wild in our Zhengjia Village. ”
Zheng Qilin explained.
"There is such an aura when I look at it...... It's very fresh, and the others don't seem to be much different from ordinary scorpions. ”
The middle-aged man in charge of the contractor then took a serious look.
"Brother Zheng, I have heard that scorpions in traditional Chinese medicine have a certain curative effect on cancer, but I am giving it as a gift...... The picture has pomp and face, mainly to get the contractor project...... Sending a scorpion seems a bit ordinary. ”
The foreman hesitated and looked at Zheng Qilin.
"Brother, do you plan to contract only this one project in your life or can you always have project contracting in the future? I don't need to say the reason, you also understand. ”
The corners of Zheng Qilin's mouth showed a little smile.
"Yes, of course my brother understands. It's just that your scorpion is really more powerful than the Lingzhi last time?"
The foreman was still a little skeptical.
"Besides, you can give the scorpion first, and if it doesn't work, buy something else to give it away. The dam is still under construction, and the later project is far away, so what's the hurry. ”
Zheng Qilin frowned.
"Yes, yes, yes...... Brother, you're right, so let's do it, you have more money for this scorpion, bring me some. ”
The foreman saw that Zheng Qilin was a little angry, and hurriedly said. He knew in his heart that this young man was not only the boyfriend of Deputy Mayor Xia Xue, but also the secretary of H County, who was familiar with him, and he couldn't be offended. Even if his scorpion really has no effect, he has to buy a few on face and take away favors.
"The current promotion price is one hundred, you'd better buy a few more, otherwise the next time you come, it won't be at this price." ”
Zheng Qilin reminded.
"A hundred, then bring me ten......"
The foreman gasped, it was too bad...... Gritted his teeth.
"Okay, I'll give you ten first. Huzi, bring me a plastic bag. ”
Zheng Qilin shouted at Huzi.
"Okay. ”
Huzi hurriedly took a white plastic bag and walked over and handed it to Zheng Qilin.
Zheng Qilin directly reached out and grabbed ten big scorpions from the old basin, put them in a plastic bag, and handed them to the foreman of the contractor.
The foreman took out a thousand yuan and handed it to Zheng Qilin in distress and left.
"Brother, ten scorpions were sold for a thousand yuan......
Huzi's eyes widened, quite surprised. He only knew that Zheng Qilin, who had tomatoes and cucumbers in the old yard alone, could earn three or four thousand every two or three days, but it was not clear how much these centipedes and scorpions in the old pot were sold for. Think about the centipedes that were pulled away in the morning, according to the price of this scorpion, at least hundreds of thousands.
It's hundreds of thousands in a few days, how much money can you make in a month? Just thinking about it makes him tremble.
"It's just the promotion stage, and the next time he comes, it's more than that. ”
Zheng Qilin smiled.
"Is a hundred just a promotion price?"
Huzi shuddered. He felt that in the future, he should not ask about the price of the things that Zheng Qilin was selling, and he would be satisfied with paying him a salary of two or three thousand a month, otherwise he would feel that this was a dream.
"It's not early today, go back and rest, and come back tomorrow. ”
Zheng Qilin patted Huzi on the shoulder.
"Oh, then I'll go back first. ”
Huzi nodded, simply cleaned up, and left to go back.
Zheng Qilin returned to the room, thinking about what to eat, why not cook instant noodles......
At that moment, the mother walked in through the door, carrying a bag in her hand, and the dog followed in a hurry.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Zheng Qilin asked.
"Mom knows that you have been busy for a while, it is estimated that the food is not delicious, and Mom and Dad don't know how to help you, thinking that you are relatively weak, I slaughtered an old hen at home at noon, and brought you soup. It just so happened that we built a small bridge in our small river today, and it was convenient to come over. ”
Qi Xiaolian walked over.
"Oh, there's a bridge over there?"
Zheng Qilin was stunned for a moment, and soon understood, it is estimated that Xia Xue asked the engineering team to repair the dam to build a small bridge over there so that he could go back there.
"Hmm. Eat it while it's hot. ”
Mother Qi Xiaolian went into the house and took out the mushroom stewed old hen in the lunch box, as well as three hot steamed buns.
"Thank you, Mom. ”
Zheng Qilin picked up the lunch box and ate it in a big gulp.
Chicken hot steamed buns, the taste is superb.
"Qi Lin, Mom will tell you something again. ”
Qi Xiaolian hesitated.
"What's the matter, tell me. ”
Zheng Qilin glanced at his mother.
"Your aunt's Lei Lei is getting married next Monday, and your aunt called at noon to ask our family to attend the wedding. I heard that you are also back, and I especially told you to come. ”
Qi Xiaolian said.
"Oh......"
Zheng Qilin frowned.
Regarding the aunt's family in the county seat, I really don't have a good impression. Especially the eldest aunt, who hates the poor and loves the rich, has always looked down on his family.
What I remember most clearly is that in the third year of college, his family really had no money and couldn't afford the tuition, so he borrowed 10,000 yuan from his aunt.
It's only been half a year, and my aunt-in-law called five miles away to ask for money, and the family sold almost everything that could be sold, and repaid 5,000 yuan, and the aunt-in-law didn't give up.
It is precisely for this reason that when he was a senior in college, he instinctively entered a good foreign company to do grassroots management, and the salary was low at first, but the development prospects were quite good. But in order to repay the 5,000 yuan as soon as possible, he chose a sales job in a pharmaceutical company, he ran desperately day and night for the first month, and the meals he ate every day were just instant noodles and dried steamed buns, and finally the first month's basic salary plus commission exceeded 5,000, and he immediately sent the money to his father and asked him to repay the 5,000 yuan of his aunt's family.
If it weren't for the early death of my grandparents and grandmother, there was only one relative left on my mother's side, and my aunt often secretly assisted his family, and she would have completely cut off contact with their family.
"Are you going?"
Mother looked at Zheng Qilin.
"Go. ”
Zheng Qilin knew that his mother was very eager for him to go, after all, his aunt was the only relative in her mother's family. So this time he not only wants to go, but he still goes with great fanfare, looking down on his family?
"Well, that's good. Your aunt-in-law is that kind of person, don't hold grudges, don't make trouble when you go, don't talk nonsense, Lei Lei's wedding celebration. ”
Mother advised.
"Rest assured. ”
Zheng Qilin replied.
"Leizi is a year younger than you and married...... It's time for you to work on it, too. In our village, there are only one or two people left who are not married at your age. What was Xiangxiang doing with the girl you introduced last time? Did you get in touch again? I heard that Mayor Xia has a good relationship, and that girl has a big background in her family...... Mom thinks that we shouldn't be too ambitious in this kind of thing...... Really...... Otherwise, it will be the same as the little jade in front of ......"
Mother Qi Xiaolian worked hard.
"I almost forgot to tell you and my dad that she and I have already obtained the certificate. ”
Zheng Qilin stood up, took out a marriage certificate from the drawer, and handed it to his mother, Qi Xiaolian.
