The next day, Zhao Xiaomeng got up in the morning and called Director Shen to ask for a day off, Director Shen agreed without saying a word, and asked Zhao Xiaomeng to have a good rest. Like Zhao Xiaomeng, working in a university laboratory, he has a high degree of freedom. Eight o'clock in the morning is required to work, and most people arrive at nine o'clock; It was stipulated that the employee would leave work at five o'clock in the afternoon, but in fact, after four o'clock, basically everyone was gone.

And Zhao Xiaomeng is a pregnant woman, and she said that she was late and left early, even if she didn't come to the leader, she wouldn't trouble her. When I was a year or four, a female vice president of Qibei University was originally diagnosed with infertility, and she worked hard for many years but did not get pregnant, but suddenly she had it. The vice-principal, who was in his early forties, was so crazy that he didn't even make a leave note, and stayed at home until he finished his maternity leave, and then started working in the first two months.

Up and down, Zhao Xiaomeng called the leader to ask for leave like this, which can be regarded as a high consciousness. The reason why Zhao Xiaomeng went out early and returned late before was because the two of them were too poor, and she had to work overtime to save experimental tickets. Zhao Xiaomeng is a career editor, the salary is paid in the province, and the school pays a part of the subsidy. The school stipulates that if the annual number of experimental tickets is 400, the monthly subsidy is 500; If you reach 800 per year, you will receive a monthly allowance of 1,000. Zhao Xiaomeng is just for the extra 500 yuan per month, so she goes out early and returns late.

Because of the biological clock, Zhao Xiaomeng got up early. She asked for leave, thinking about buying a car, but she didn't have the heart to sleep back, so she woke up Yu Shan and chattered endlessly. After a while, he said that Sail was also good, and it was fuel-efficient; After a while, she said that if she couldn't do it, she would buy a second-hand car to practice her hands, and she was afraid of crashing when she bought a new car; After a while, she began to ask Yu Shan what car she planned to buy.

Yu Shan, who was a little insomnia last night, was woken up, looking at his daughter-in-law's eyes full of anticipation, and he couldn't get out of bed. In the end, he didn't say what car he wanted to buy, he just smiled mysteriously, hanging Zhao Xiaomeng's appetite.

The two went downstairs and ate tofu brain and fritters at the breakfast shop outside the community, and when they ate, Yu Shan glanced at the calendar card hanging in the store, and found that today was Friday. I don't know if my eldest brother Zhao Xiaodong went to work today, but his sister's money is easy to say, the brother and sister have been making trouble since they were young, and their blood is thicker than water, so they can simply send the money to their parents if they don't have time.

So, Yu Shan asked Zhao Xiaomeng to call Zhao Xiaodong, the phone was connected, and it happened that the eldest brother took a day off for a cold and flu and was sweating on a bed with his family.

The two of them finished breakfast and stopped a taxi at the gate of the community and went straight to the Biyuan community. I went up to the third floor and knocked for a long time before the door opened from the inside.

I saw Zhao Xiaodong standing there with a thick quilt and a red face.

Zhao Xiaomeng hurriedly said, "Big brother, why do you still have a cold?" ”

Zhao Xiaodong said depressedly: "Don't mention it, I played mahjong with a few classmates for half a night last night, and I couldn't get up in the morning." Come in, come in. ”

Zhao Xiaodong beckoned, and the two entered the living room.

This house is not big or small, it is 120 square meters, with a three-bedroom layout, and the living room is particularly spacious. Yu Shan vaguely remembered that every time her daughter-in-law came to her eldest brother's house, she would always feel bad when she looked at the spacious house. The chaotic memories made Yu Shan unclear whether this was the memory of the new timeline or the memory of the original one.

The three of them sat on the sofa, and Zhao Xiaodong asked, "Mengmeng didn't go to work today?" ”

"No, I'm on leave."

Seeing Zhao Xiaomeng's belly, he asked again: "How is it?" Is there any reaction now? ”

"I didn't have much of a reaction, I just ate too much and my stomach was bloated."

Zhao Xiaodong sneezed and asked instead, "Why did you two remember to come over today?" ”

The two glanced at each other, Zhao Xiaomeng opened the backpack zipper and took the bundles of banknotes out. In the blink of an eye, there were eleven stacks of hundred-dollar bills piled up on the coffee table.

"Brother, we're here to pay back the money today."

Zhao Xiaodong said: "What kind of money? I don't need your eldest brother for the time being, so if you need it urgently, you can use it first. ”

Zhao Xiaomeng smiled and said, "Brother, we are not short of money." She glanced at Yu Shan, and then told Yu Shan's nonsense, and Zhao Xiaodong was stunned when she heard it.

"Two million six thousand? What paintings are so valuable? ”

Yu Shan said: "He Jianing's "Late Spring". ”

"I'll check." Zhao Xiaodong is a man of action, grabbed his mobile phone and began to check on the Internet, and after checking it, he sighed: "Contemporary paintings are also so valuable...... Huh? What did I say before? People, the three poor and the three rich live to old age, and there must be a time to memorize words in their lives. Yu Shan, you just memorized words a few years ago, but now it's okay, it's time to run. By the way, I asked you about your case, and a friend on the investigation said that Lu Haipeng had been arrested. I'll be escorted back in a few days. ”

Zhao Xiaomeng was both angry and excited: "Caught? Should! Dead liar, let you lie to our family! ”

Zhao Xiaodong said in a low voice: "If you are caught, the case will still be tried, and Lu Haipeng's matter is not just you." He used to engage in private credit, and he owed more than 14 million yuan to the bank. I should be able to recover some of it, but this money must be in the bank first, and it's hard to say how much is left, and it's hard to say how much it can be returned to you in the end. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaomeng became depressed. On the contrary, Yu Shan looked very open, he knew that what Zhao Xiaodong said was right, and he didn't expect the money to be recovered.

"Just eat a trench and grow wise, Yu Shan, you have to be optimistic about people when you do business in the future. Business is a thing, if you don't have a partnership, try not to partner. Your eldest brother and I co-opened a restaurant before, but I didn't make much money, and my friends broke up. ”

Yu Shan said: "Yes, it will definitely not be in the future." I also figured it out, I'm not a businessman, and I'm going to look for opportunities in the field I'm good at. ”

After chatting for an hour, seeing Zhao Xiaodong's uncomfortable cold, the two of them got up and said goodbye. At this time, Zhao Xiaodong found that there were 110,000 on the coffee table, not 100,000. Zhao Xiaodong blew up, and stuffed the extra 10,000 back with a calm face. The two had no choice but to offer to find a time to entertain Zhao Xiaodong's family.

Coming out of his uncle's house, Yu Shan's heart was warm. Thousands of emotions finally turned into one sentence: "Big brother really looks like big brother." ”

Zhao Xiaomeng said with affection: "That's it." ”

The eldest brother Zhao Xiaodong is not confused in his recent years, has rich experience, is good at work, and full of prestige. Zhao Xiaomeng's relatives here, whether they are the older generation or the younger generation, are not unconvinced when it comes to Zhao Xiaodong. Every time he sees Zhao Xiaodong, Yu Shan is always convinced. The eldest brother can do this job, and he definitely understands it in this life.

Yu Shan thought that when he reached the age of his eldest brother, he didn't know if he could live so clearly.

Out of the Biyuan community, seeing that the time was only more than nine o'clock, Zhao Xiaomeng asked where to go next. Looking at his daughter-in-law's expectant little eyes, Yu Shan still didn't understand his daughter-in-law's careful thoughts. Immediately, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go buy a car!" ”

In the new era, the automobile has become one of the three new major parts. In the 70s, it was important to pay attention to three turns and one ring, bicycles, watches, and sewing machines were three turns, and one ring was a radio; In the 80s and 90s, the three major items became a TV, a refrigerator, a washing machine, and preferably a motorcycle; In the new century, the three major items have become houses, cars, and tickets.

The changes of the times have made the original luxury goods enter the homes of ordinary people and become a genuine means of transportation. The two got into a taxi, walked all the way east, and drove a few kilometers east after passing the door of the house to the Motor City.

After getting out of the car, Zhao Xiaomeng looked at the dazzling array of 4S stores and made it difficult to choose, and she didn't know which one to see first. Yu Shan didn't talk nonsense, and dragged his daughter-in-law straight to Dongfeng Peugeot 4S.

Before entering the store, Zhao Xiaomeng looked at the vehicles parked on both sides of the store entrance, and excitedly shouted: "Husband, husband, this logo is good-looking, I like little lions." Huh? What do you think of that car? ”

Yu Shan said with a smile: "There are all kinds of models in the store, let's go in and see." ”

As soon as I entered the door, a sales consultant immediately greeted me and asked which car the two of them wanted to see.

Before Yu Shan could speak, Zhao Xiaomeng hurriedly said, "Let's take a look first." ”

She swept around, saw a small SUV, looked over, and the sales immediately said that it was Peugeot 2008, and reported a series of data.

Zhao Xiaomeng looked left and right, and after a while, pouted and said, "The trunk is too small, husband, let's choose a car." ”

"Okay, then look at the car."

When passing a 508, Zhao Xiaomeng glanced at the price, then walked two steps quickly and whispered, "Husband, what price do we buy?" ”

"What do you think?"

"I think it's okay to buy a car within 100,000 yuan, isn't it just to buy a means of transportation? Huh? This car is good! Zhao Xiaomeng took two steps and stopped in front of a red 308, she first glanced at the price tag, and then began to look at the car a little cramped.

The sales consultant chattered about the various performance indicators of the car, and specially opened the trunk for Zhao Xiaomeng to see. The compact compartment is much larger than the A-class, full of power, and has a very high appearance, especially the Peugeot of the little lion makes Zhao Xiaomeng love it.

The two watched for a long time, then turned around again, and finally turned back to 308. The sales consultant saw that he had a door, and he spared no effort to introduce it. also asked about the work of the two people, and when they heard that Zhao Xiaomeng was a university teacher, they immediately began to introduce the low-interest policy of loans for civil servants and teachers.

Zhao Xiaomeng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, couldn't put down the steering wheel, but her expression was hesitant, and she turned her head sideways and said to Yu Shan, the co-pilot: "Husband, do you want to ...... Take a second look? After all, we just went shopping. ”

Yu Shan said: "Why don't you take a test drive and feel it on the spot." ”

"Okay?"

The sales immediately said: "It's okay ma'am, our store test drive and test ride only need to be registered." Do you have a driver's license? ”
