Chapter 16: Parental Visits
In the basic world, the business is thriving, and the real grocery store is not left behind, opening at 9 and closing at 5 every day. And since the sale of furniture made in Minecraft, the grocery store business has been very good, plus it is a no-capital transaction, and you can make as much money as you sell, although it is not rich and expensive, but at least you have plenty of money, in short, the small life is very nourishing.
However, early in the morning, a dilapidated van drove up to the door of the grocery store and two 'uninvited guests' arrived.
"Brother Wei, sister-in-law Wei, why do you have time to come over to visit Ziyang today?" Aunt Huang from the wonton shop next to her was very surprised to see the two, but she was very enthusiastic, and she still seemed to know each other.
I have been a neighbor for more than ten years, can I not be familiar with it? The person who came was Wei Ziyang's parents.
It's just that Wei's father and mother's face is not good, and they glanced at the new Wuling Hongguang stopped at the door, and their faces were even more solemn. But when outsiders were present, Father Wei still reluctantly smiled in response, but when he was done, he asked carefully: "Ziyang didn't cause any trouble here, right?"
"How come, Ziyang, this kid has always been well-behaved and obedient, and he has made a lot of money recently, and even bought a car...... Why, he didn't tell you?" Aunt Huang said before realizing that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Father Wei's face stiffened.
Wei's mother on the side has been silent, she has a bad impression of Aunt Huang, and she didn't like to deal with it before. After all, a widow is a neighbor, and her husband goes over to chat when he has nothing to do when he runs a grocery store, and the two even have an affair......
At this time, seeing the surprise on Aunt Huang's face, although she sulked at her son, her face was full of smiles, and she pulled her husband and said, "Of course Ziyang has discussed it with us, otherwise where would he ask for tens of thousands of yuan to buy a car?"
"Oh?" Aunt Huang was a little skeptical, but she smiled and didn't ask about other people's family matters.
Wei Ziyang, who was in the backyard, also heard the movement at this time, and when he walked out, his expression suddenly stiffened, and he was really afraid of something. Suddenly, my mind was racing, and I was thinking about what excuse to use to explain.
Wait to sit down, make good tea, and flatter your face.
But Wei's father and mother's face was still ugly, and they didn't speak for a long time, which made the scene very embarrassing, and Wei Ziyang was a little restless.
Father Wei took a small sip of tea before he began to ask, "Tell me, where did the money come from to buy the car?"
He knew very well what was going on in the grocery store, half-dead, barely able to feed one person, two of them were too many, otherwise he would not have handed over the operation of his son to himself and went back to the land to plant.
Wei Ziyang had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Recently, I added a batch of furniture to sell, and I made a lot of money, plus my previous savings were almost more than 10,000 yuan, so I went to supply a car on a whim, and I will have to pay back more than 1,000 every month in the future!"
"Why do you say that you bought it in full?"
"Bamboo pole?" Wei Ziyang's face darkened, and he had this big mouth again. smiled awkwardly and explained: "I bragged to him, and you believe it...... Can I have the money?"
"That's just as well. Father Wei thought so.
Wei Ziyang is even more embarrassed, do you look down on your son like this?
"What kind of car do you have to give in the future? In the future, each will give more than 1,000, and the business in the store is not good, do you still want to ask for a daughter-in-law? If you want a car, you can drive the family van!"
Mom, don't you need to use the van for breeding? Mom, don't worry, the business in the store is not bad now, you can have five or six thousand left a month, and there is not much pressure to take out a thousand yuan a month for the car. Wei Ziyang could only explain.
"Can you have five or six thousand left a month?" Wei Mu couldn't believe it when she heard it.
Even Father Wei was surprised, when he was still there before, there were about 3,000 yuan left every month, and it was a pity to abandon it if it was tasteless. If there are five or six thousand left every month, it is already a good job in the old city.
"You see, I found a way to buy a batch of good furniture, and it sold okay. Wei Ziyang could only lift out the furniture to explain.
"The table and chair are really good. Father Wei looked around the tables and chairs, and nodded again and again. You must know that Wei's father was born as a carpenter, and he had followed the old carpenter for a period of time, although he didn't learn much about good craftsmanship, but he had eyesight.
"Take a set with you when you go back. Wei Ziyang hurriedly said.
"Ziyang!"
Seeing that he was about to pass the test in confusion, the shouts of the sixth uncle of the pawn shop sounded outside the door.
Wei Ziyang's face was bitter, and the faces of Wei's father and mother also became solemn.
Ziyang...... Brother Wei and sister-in-law are also there?" The sixth uncle was also stunned when he saw the two, they had been doing business on the same street for more than ten years, of course they knew each other, but they were only nodding friends, and there was no deep intersection, and the two families were people of different levels at all.
Seeing Wei Ziyang give him a look, the sixth uncle was slightly surprised, but he immediately reacted that he couldn't say anything about the gold ingot, and immediately said: "Ziyang, send a set of tables and chairs to my store this afternoon, and you have to choose a better one." ”
Wei Ziyang's heart was relieved, and the old fritters reacted quickly enough, and immediately said, "Okay, I'll send it to you when I'm free." ”
The family politely sent the sixth uncle away, and Wei's mother's face immediately darkened, and she asked, "Ziyang, are you very familiar with him?"
"Everyone is doing business on the same street, and it's normal to help each other, Mom, don't think about it. Wei Ziyang said helplessly.
But even Father Wei reminded in a low voice: "Your sixth uncle has a lot of energy, but he didn't do things very cleanly before, so you can take care of him when you interact with him." ”
For this person whose wealth ranks first in the old street, the second elder is still in awe. And the sixth uncle is what they watched to make a fortune, and it is rumored that the sixth uncle eats everything in black and white, and his hands and feet are not very clean, and they are also worried that his son will go on a crooked path.
Of course, Wei Ziyang also knew this, but he still nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”
The worries in my heart were put down, and seeing that my son was long-handed, the faces of Wei's father and mother suddenly turned cloudy, and they went out to take out the seasonal fruits brought from the van, and a slaughtered big gelding chicken, which was brought to the kitchen for lunch.
This chicken is actually raised in the orchard on its own feed, and it tastes good, but it is much worse than the wild pheasants in my world. But the strong taste of family affection is the most precious and delicious thing in the world.
When the second elder was about to go back, Wei Ziyang loaded their van with a set of tables and chairs, some wild fruits from the basic survival world, and five wild pheasants. Originally, I wanted to give them a bed to take back, sleeping better is very good for the body, but because the space in the car can not be stuffed, I have to give up, and then find a truck to consign when the opportunity is right in the future.
After sending the second elder away, Wei Ziyang closed the door of each store and came directly to the Liuliushun pawnshop. Of course, Uncle Sixth didn't come here today to buy tables and chairs, he must have something else important.
The pawn shop's business is always cool, and the air conditioner is also turned on coldly, and I can't help but shiver when I enter the door.
The sixth uncle, who was dozing off, heard the movement and looked up, and immediately sat up and greeted: "Ziyang, come over and drink tea." ”
Tea is good tea, but Wei Ziyang wants to know the reason why Uncle Six is looking for him, and he is absent-minded while drinking tea, so he asks directly: "Uncle Six, do you have something to do with me?"
"That's right, the buyer who bought the gold ingot last time asked me to ask you, do you still have the gold? The price is still 270, but you don't charge a handling fee here, the other party gives it. If you have any other words, don't hide it and pinch it, and sell it to the sixth uncle. The sixth uncle went straight to the point.
Wei Ziyang was not surprised, the only thing in his hand that was worthy of the sixth uncle's concern was the gold ingot. In fact, he was reluctant to continue exchanging gold for money, after all, it was an eye-catching thing. But since the sixth uncle has already spoken, and he is sure that he still has gold in his hand, if he says no, people may be unhappy.
After a deep groan, Wei Ziyang slowly arrived: "If you have gold, I only have a total of eight pieces in my hand, two pieces last time, and now I still have six pieces in my hand, since the sixth uncle said that I want it, I don't dare to keep it, but I want to keep one, and I may be able to use it in the future." ”
Detailed numbers add authenticity, and the offer to leave a piece is even more convincing. "The Testament of the Ghost Valley" not only contains the cultivation secrets, but also the essence of the Zongheng family, and Wei Ziyang's way of speaking has also improved to a higher level than before.
"Okay, five dollars is five dollars!" The sixth uncle did not doubt him, but he was old and fine, and from Wei Ziyang's words, he felt in his heart that Wei Ziyang would bring him surprises.
With the basis of the first transaction, after Wei Ziyang brought the gold, the sixth uncle simply weighed the money and settled it, a full 350,000 yuan in cash, and there was a big bag in a bag. Selling gold is indeed a quick money, and he has a lot of money in his hands, and now he still has more than 30 yuan in stock.
But people can't be too greedy, they have to take what they see, not to mention that he doesn't have much need for money at the moment, but he hasn't lost his mind because of money. And since he cultivated, his vision has also been higher, although he doesn't regard money as dung, but at least he is not so enthusiastic. What money is, what power is, compared to immortality, this is just a passing thing.
After the things entrusted by the friend were done, the sixth uncle was in a good mood, and took out the best tea leaves again to make it for Weizi Yang, and said proudly: "Your kid has a good mouth today, tens of thousands of catties of tea, sent by a friend of origin, just arrived by express today, and I didn't have time to taste it myself." ”
"I really haven't drunk such expensive tea. Wei Ziyang smiled and said, wait for the sixth uncle to taste the tea carefully, and suddenly feel the fragrance of his lips and teeth. But that's all, it's not so intoxicating, and he doesn't have this mood now.
"If you like it, I'll bring a few bags back later. Uncle Six grabbed a handful from the box, there were about five or six bags, seven grams per bag.
"It's too expensive to want. Besides, this was given to you by someone else, and it was not appropriate for me to take it. Wei Ziyang hurriedly refused, if it was really 10,000 catties, these small bags would cost almost 1,000 yuan. The important thing is that he has short hands and a soft mouth, and he hopes that the relationship with the sixth uncle will be an equal transaction.
"What's polite? It's too little, isn't it? I'll give you another box of ordinary ration tea. As he spoke, Uncle Six casually took out a box of beautifully packaged tea leaves from under the coffee table and threw them in front of Wei Ziyang.
Sixth Uncle's 'ration tea' must also be worth a lot of money, Wei Ziyang was about to refuse, but a bad old man pushed the door in from the outside. As soon as the sixth uncle saw this person, the smile on his face immediately retracted, and even a little dignified.
"Ziyang, you go back first, I have important guests to meet. The sixth uncle said.
Wei Ziyang felt that the atmosphere was wrong, but he was also interested, and silently took the tea to say goodbye. When the bad old man crossed shoulders with him, the other party glanced at him, and the eyes that were deeply sunk into his sockets were very deep, so that Wei Ziyang did not dare to look at him, and hurriedly passed by and left.
