Chapter 22 Tax stamps to carry with you
Yuan Yuxiao called more than ten friends in total, compared with Yuan Yuxiao going to Yu Xiaolu's house, Yu Xiaolu did not come to his house much, it should be said that Yuan Yuxiao's parents were far less familiar with Xiaolu than Yu Xiaolu's parents were with Yuan Yuxiao.
But his father obviously still noticed Yu Xiaolu, and after he glanced at Yu Xiaolu, he immediately asked, "This is Yu Xiaolu, I've been here before!" β
This "before" is a long time ago, and there are very few fathers who can call Yuan Yuxiao's classmates by name, but Yu Xiaolu is an exception, and he has always remembered it. "You guys seem to have been classmates since elementary school!"
"Yes, this is also our old classmate together, Ling Jiamin." Yuan Yuxiao hurriedly introduced Ling Jiamin next to Yu Xiaolu, wanting Yu Xiaolu not to stand out alone, but his father nodded to Ling Jiamin as a greeting, "I know, this is your colleague, and this Xiao Guiying next to him came together." β
The subtext is: Yu Xiaolu is not this companion, but someone else. In this regard, the father can be called meticulous.
Yuan Yuxiao couldn't stop the weakness of her heart, her face turned red, as if telepathically, Yu Xiaolu's face immediately infected his redness, and carried it forward.
"You still have a good friend surnamed Mo who didn't come, right?" My father had a bit of a sense of making persistent efforts while the iron was hot.
"He went to college." Although Yu Xiaolu and Yuan Yuxiao spoke in unison, the words were swirling in their throats, just like two mosquitoes buzzing.
Hehehe. The father smiled and walked away. The people at this table looked at these two red faces and frowned.
After the banquet was dispersed and the guests were gone, his father came to Yuan Yuxiao again, and Yuan Yuxiao had already taken thousands of precautions.
"Mo Qing, huh...... He has a good relationship with that Yu Xiaolu, right? The father asked seemingly nonchalantly.
Although Yu Xiaolu rarely came, his father has always paid more attention to the girls who interacted with Yuan Yuxiao.
"Well, they've been together since kindergarten. The two of them and I have known each other since elementary school. Yuan Yuxiao once again cleared up the relationship, and she felt that it was not authentic.
"Then you must pay attention, the two of them grew up and are closer than you, since you and Mo Qing are good friends, he is now going to college, you have the opportunity to get close to Yu Xiaolu, you can't take advantage of the danger of others!"
Where is this, Yuan Yuxiao sighed in her heart.
However, he knew that it was difficult for his father to change his mind about what he believed, and years of experience had taught him that continuing to explain would only get darker and darker, so he remained silent as always.
In his heart, he explained to himself that his father's worries were not that he would "take advantage of others", but just to show him that he could not fall in love too early. On this point, he is in agreement with his father. Therefore, it is not important what my father says, but it is important to understand the spirit. He smoothed out some of the ripples in his heart.
The next day, Ling Jiamin apologized to him, he shouldn't have taken Xiao Guiying there, "I didn't understand the role and responsibility I should have taken yesterday, which caused you and her to expose the target prematurely!" He squeezed his eyes as he spoke, as if there were still sequelae on the expression on the table yesterday, and Yuan Yuxiao pushed him hard.
On Sunday, it was a sunny day, and when spring was in full bloom, it was already smelling of summer.
Yuan Yuxiao still followed the rules and went to Yu Xiaolu's house to play. Yuan Yuxiao has basically maintained this habit since he had a tacit understanding with Mo Qing that timeβin his opinion, he solemnly accepted a commission. He is not a man who easily changes habits.
Traditionally, Yu Xiaolu and Mo Qing have not gone much to Yuan Yuxiao's house, and Yuan Yuxiao is a frequent visitor to Yu Xiaolu's house.
When Yuan Yuxiao locked the bicycle downstairs at Xiaolu's house, Yu Xiaolu happened to pass by him, "I just came down to use the public phone, and I was still thinking that I might be able to meet you, sure enough, you come at about this time every week, a good cadre on time!" β
"Thanks for the compliment, I'm just used to it." Yuan Yuxiao looked like a matter of course.
"This ...... Could this be the car issued by our national cadres? Yu Xiaolu smiled, the first few times she came, Yu Xiaolu was upstairs at home, and she hadn't seen Yuan Yuxiao's bicycle.
Yuan Yuxiao knew that she was laughing at the car being too shabby, and hurriedly defended, "This car is quite good, it suits me very well, you know that I never choose the road when I ride a bicycle, this car can just cross the mountains and rivers!" β
"You've always been a Q......" Yu Xiaolu still couldn't stop laughing, "There is no car bell, why didn't the police arrest you!" β
"Don't look at the car bell, as soon as this car moves, it rings everywhere, and pedestrians will give way from a long distance, which is more effective than a car with a bell!"
"I've never talked about winning you anyway, I guess you can do it if you summarize the hundred benefits of this car, okay, it's your business to love broken cars, I'm too lazy to tell you, you park the car under the tree here, and the saddle will burn your ass after a long time."
Yuan Yuxiao was complacent and only cared about locking the car, turning a deaf ear.
"Did you hear me when I told you to lock the car over here?"
"What are you anxious about, I'll let you see my car that is not afraid of the sun and rain!" Yuan Yuxiao locked the car, took off the seat as soon as she stretched out her hand, and left as soon as she lifted it. It turned out that the saddle was just on the frame.
This time, Yu Xiaolu laughed loudly, covered her ribs and shouted, "You're not afraid of falling off the seat and being pricked by this steel stick?" β
"I sat on it, the weight of my body pressed against it, how could it fall!"
"You...... You just take the wheels so you don't have to lock them! β
"That's not good, I'm afraid that the scrap collector will pick it up!" Yuan Yuxiao also had a very serious expression.
"You're riding a car like this, you're already like a scrap collector!"
"However, looking at my elegant temperament, I should still be a high-level intellectual!"
"Uh-huh, high-level intellectuals, when this kind of car was given to you that all the seats fell off, you didn't give some opinions?"
"The seat was on top at the time, and it fell off after two days of riding. There is a master who specializes in repairing cars in the bureau, but this car that has just been issued to everyone is to be repaired, and he can't win, so I will take care of the overall situation, which is also quite good! β
"You're self-denying again!"
"Aren't you too, you love to drink iced coffee, but you have also accompanied Mo Qing to drink sour plum soup for a few years!"
"Hmph, this matter, you monkey don't laugh at rabbits without tails!"
The two of them went upstairs while arguing, and Yuan Yuxiao said again: "My car is still very anti-theft, when I went to the movie two days ago, I forgot to lock it, and after reading it, the car was well placed there, and no one stole it!" β
Yu Xiaolu's attention suddenly shifted from the car to the movie, "Good guy! What kind of movie? I went to see it alone, and he didn't call me! As he spoke, he tugged at his ear.
""Village in the City", the ticket issued by the unit, one ticket per person, how can I call you?"
"You tell me, I'll buy the ticket myself and change it next to you, so I can watch it together! The more I read the book, the more stupid I became! As he spoke, he was going to pluck his ears again.
Over the years, Yuan Yuxiao's ears have been used to her, and she doesn't care, "They are all colleagues, and there are too many acquaintances." β
Since Mo Qing left, the relationship between Yuan Yuxiao and Yu Xiaolu has been delicate, Yuan Yuxiao not only feels responsible for accompanying Yu Xiaolu, but also subconsciously has long acquiesced to Mo Qing's statement that "fat water does not flow into outsiders' fields", but it is by no means an overnight thing to complete the transformation of the relationship between them. Regarding this, he and Mo Qing mentioned it many times in their correspondence. Mo Qing said in the letter, do you have to bring my girlfriend back next time before you accept her with all your heart. Yuan Yuxiao wrote back and said, this really has nothing to do with you, as long as Xiaolu is still tutoring, she is a middle school student, do you know. Do you know that it is inappropriate for a state worker to go to a middle school student to fall in love, and besides, men who are less than thirty cannot consider personal problems...... Mo Qing said, alas, in the end, "state workers......
In Yuan Yuxiao's heart, Yu Xiaolu is always a petite, weak and naughty little sister.
As soon as Yu Xiaolu heard him say that he was afraid of meeting acquaintances when he watched a movie together, he could also pay attention to what he meant, so he lowered his head and stopped talking. As soon as the two of them quieted down, the atmosphere became a little strange.
Fortunately, I also arrived on the fourth floor, and as soon as I entered Yu Xiaolu's house, Xiaolu's parents greeted them with a smile: "Xiaoxiao is here!" β
"Hello uncle and aunt!"
"How? Are you familiar with your work now? After Yuan Yuxiao sat down, Xiaolu's father asked with a smile.
"It's okay."
"You, as soon as you sit down, you talk about work," Xiaolu's mother brought tea, "This is this year's new tea, it's so fragrant, try it!" She knew that Yuan Yuxiao had always loved tea. Yu Xiaolu also made herself a cup, she only drank boiling water before, and then heard Yuan Yuxiao often praise her for the fresh fragrance of green tea, and she was happy to hear it, so she also learned from him to drink tea.
"Thank you, Auntie!" As soon as Yuan Yuxiao took the tea, Yu Xiaolu asked with a smile, "Is it fragrant?" Her mother said angrily, "You really are, he hasn't drunk it yet!" Yu Xiaolu smiled and said, "His dog nose is the best at smelling!" How's that, isn't it that kind of incense? He squeezed his eyes.
Yuan Yuxiao understood that the "kind of fragrance" that Yu Xiaolu said was her body fragrance that she had said, and her parents naturally couldn't understand it, Yuan Yuxiao took a sip lightly, and was about to answer her, when she heard someone downstairs shouting, "Sell tea!" βοΌ
"There are so many new teas sold this year!" Xiaolu's mother said.
Yuan Yuxiao put down the teacup and got up, "I'm sorry, I'll go down for a while." As he spoke, he hurried out the door.
"Do you want to buy tea? Take some from me, I bought quite a few yesterday. Xiaolu's mother shouted from behind.
"No, no, I'll go down and collect taxes!" Yuan Yuxiao said non-stop.
Yu Xiaolu's family couldn't react there. Yu Xiaolu still belongs to the action faction, and if she didn't think about it clearly, she chased it out first and then said, she leaned on the railing of the corridor and looked down.
Yuan Yuxiao ran downstairs and saw the man selling tea, carrying a burden. Hurriedly stopped him, he only said that he was buying tea, and quickly put down the burden. Yuan Yuxiao took out a tax stamp from her pocket, and the backing board and carbon paper were already sandwiched between it. This tax stamp to him does not leave him.
Yu Xiaolu couldn't help but run downstairs curiously.
When he arrived downstairs, Yuan Yuxiao was estimating the value of the load of tea there, and he was so serious that he didn't even notice Yu Xiaolu who came to his side.
Yu Xiaolu looked at his serious appearance, and wanted to laugh a little, so she endured it and stayed quietly beside her. She found that Yuan Yuxiao's concentration and seriousness at this time were similar to the demeanor of the previous class exams.
It didn't take long, Yuan Yuxiao estimated the tax money, the tea seller and Yuan Yuxiao slightly mushroomed the amount of money to be paid, Yuan Yuxiao didn't seem to have any intention of arguing too much, the two sides exchanged a few rounds, and then set two yuan, Yuan Yuxiao took the money and put it in his pocket and issued a tax stamp. The tea seller took it and left while shouting.
Yu Xiaolu smiled and spoke: "Not bad, comrade cadre, work so actively!" β
"Don't make fun of ......" Yuan Yuxiao saw Yu Xiaolu at this time.
"There's also a sofa seller over there, can you accept it?" Yu Xiaolu pointed to the sidewalk on the other side of the road, where there was a swarthy young man unloading two sofas from a tricycle.
"Ho, thank you! What luck today! Yuan Yuxiao flicked Yu Xiaolu's forehead with her fingers coldly, and then crossed the road without looking back.
Yu Xiaolu jumped up and down and followed. "You!" Yuan Yuxiao said as she walked, "I'm working!" β
"Phew! Dether! Yu Xiaolu said, and then said: "There are a lot of this kind of cloth sofas sold this year, and you can encounter them on the wrong street when you walk the wrong way." β
"We've been filling up the office with sofas these days, and we don't have a place to sit." Yuan Yuxiao whispered.
"Buckle the sofa and have no place to sit? I heard it freshly, that sofa is not for people to sit on! β
"This ...... You don't know...... I'll talk to you more about it when I have time. Yuan Yuxiao had already walked to the sofa stall.
A middle-aged woman was looking at the sofa and asked, "What is the price of this sofa?" β
"One hundred and two." Said the young man who sold the sofa.
"Let's come from Shaanxi." Yuan Yuxiao interjected, it's so good, she didn't even ask the price. One hundred and two, two two hundred and four, ten percent tax rate, twenty-four yuan.
"Yes, buy a sofa? I'm the cheapest. The Shaanxi young man said.
"I'm from the tax office!" Yuan Yuxiao said, opening the tax stamp to show him.
