8. Things Have Changed (Part I)

Sanzang and his wife Jingru stood at the door of the hotel and kept beckoning the guests to go upstairs and take their seats, watching Guan Chengqing and Li Yuanchao walking at the end, and asked suspiciously: "Just waiting for the two of you, I see that the two of you have been standing there for a long time, what are you muttering?" ”

"It's nothing, Mr. Li and I are talking about how well your building is built and beautiful, and we praise you for your ability." Guan Chengqian said with a smile.

"Really? Why don't I believe it? You didn't ruin me in front of Mr. Li, did you? After Sanzang finished speaking, he put his hand on Guan Chenggan's shoulder.

"You get up, the dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know the hearts of good people." Guan Cheng shook Sanzang's hand away in disgust.

"Hehe, just kidding, you're serious."

"Mr. Huang, I can testify that it is true." Li Yuanchao looked at the interaction between the two enviously and said with a smile.

"Okay, I believe your words, you accompany my senior brother to go up first, I'll arrange it downstairs, and I'll go over and have a drink with you later." After Sanzang finished speaking, he patted Li Yuanchao on the shoulder.

"Huh." Li Yuanchao somehow, his heart suddenly felt hot.

"Brother-in-law, can you have a banquet?" At this time, Qin Yuru, who was wearing a black suit and a white shirt, already had the demeanor of a professional strong woman, held her head high, walked over with confident and elegant steps, and said with a smile.

Sanzang glanced around, and saw that everyone was seated, "Let's start, you tell Sister Huairu and the waiter upstairs to hurry up and eat first, or wait for a while when the guests downstairs have finished eating and go up to play,

They don't have time to eat. Also, you talk to your brother again, greet the relatives and neighbors downstairs, and I won't come down later. ”

"Okay."

"Husband, I now find that my sister is becoming more and more capable, who would have thought that she used to be a rural woman who farmed in the countryside." Jingru waited for her sister to go away, and said happily while holding her husband's arm.

"Haha, that's, weren't you also a rustic little village girl before, but now you have become an elegant and calm, solemn and generous lady, you have changed even more." Sanzang said as he stroked his wife's jade hand.

"Hehe, isn't it my fate to marry your husband?"

"Well, daughter-in-law, let's go, we have to go to dinner with my aunt and aunt."

"Huh."

In a corner of the first floor of the hotel, Liu Haizhong's three sons Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangtian, and Liu Guangfu, Yan Bugui's three sons Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and four neighbors sat at a table.

This time the hotel opened, Sanzang also invited the old neighbors of the courtyard at No. 95 Luogunan Lane, in addition to continuing to maintain their good reputation, but also to spread out through their mouths and advertise.

Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and the two brothers have been released for more than two months, and the big bald head that was shiny at that time is now full of hair, and they have begun to dare to come out to meet people.

Liu Guangtian ate melon seeds, stared at Qin Yuru with squinting eyes for a long time, gently pushed Yan Jiecheng who was sitting next to him with his elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Cheng, who is this woman?" So beautiful. Why does the more you look at it, the more she looks like the third master's daughter-in-law? ”

"You said she, the eldest aunt of the third master, is indeed very beautiful, I said you should have seen it, she has come to the third master's house to visit relatives before." Yan Jiecheng followed Liu Guangtian's gaze and explained in a low voice.

"It turned out to be her, she used to look like a village girl, that is, she was a little more delicate, she didn't feel too much, I didn't expect it to change so much now, I see that your sister-in-law Yu Haitang, a woman in the city who graduated from high school, can't compare to her."

"That is, she is now working with the third master, every day is full of clothes and food, she travels by car or drives her own motorcycle, my sister-in-law rides a bicycle every day in the wind and rain, can she compare with others?"

"That's too, the third master's good fortune is not shallow, do you say that the third master and her have this?" After Liu Guangtian finished whispering, he gave two thumbs up and hooked each other, and smiled obscenely.

"You want to die, you dare to say this kind of thing, there shouldn't be." Yan Jiecheng smiled lewdly, and said uncertainly.

Liu Guangqi looked at the two people next to him talking about these infamous things, the more they talked, the more crooked they became, and they laughed so obscenely, frowned, and reprimanded in a low voice: "You two accumulate some virtue, a little bit of a guard, what is this occasion today?" And Guangtian, why haven't you learned your lessons? ”

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng knew that it was indeed inappropriate to talk about this kind of thing on such an occasion, so they hurriedly lowered their heads and shut up.

"Big brother, you see there are still a few people in costumes over there, do you know what they do?" Yan Jiekuang pointed to several waitresses in ancient costumes and said to Yan Jiecheng.

"I heard your sister-in-law say, it's not called a costume, it's called Hanfu, it's the service staff of the tea ceremony hall and the chess club upstairs, let's go in and have a look after dinner."

"Understood."

"Brother Cheng, I heard my dad say that Yu Li's sister-in-law is a lobby manager here, and her salary alone is more than 100 yuan a month, and there are dividends at the end of the year, is it true?" Liu Guangfu grabbed a handful of peanuts from the table and said to Yan Jiecheng with a mysterious expression.

"That's true, my current salary adds up to more than 60 yuan, compared with her, it's far worse, and I have no status at home." Yan Xie Cheng said with a wry smile.

"Haha, Brother Cheng, you are in pain and happy now, sister-in-law can earn so much money, and your life can also get better." Liu Guangfu said enviously that because he was sentenced for a short time last year, coupled with Liu Haizhong's painstaking persuasion, his wife did not divorce him.

He just came out now and doesn't have a serious job, and the family relies on his wife to make a little money by washing dishes in a small restaurant, and his life is tight, and he doesn't dare to squeak when he is scolded by his wife every day.

"Alas, don't talk about me, among our peers, except for the third master, now he is the best fool, he is now the chef of this big hotel, leading a group of apprentices in the back kitchen to shout five and six,

The monthly salary is as high as more than 200 yuan, and there are dividends at the end of the year. He's a stupid cook at best, and he can get into today's situation, how can this be reasonable? Yan Jiecheng sighed and said jealously.

"There is no way, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, the world has changed, everyone used to work in the factory, people with good skills are popular, and the salary is high. Now, people who don't have a job can set up a stall outside,

I make more money than we old workers, and I can't be reasonable. "After Liu Guangqi bought a job in Sanzang, he has been working honestly in the rolling mill.

Now the salary adds up to more than 80 yuan, and I look down on the stupid pillar in my heart, and now I am surpassed by him all of a sudden, and I feel very uncomfortable.

"Yes, it's really strange that people who don't have jobs are trying to get into the factory now, and the people inside the factory are envious of the people who make a lot of money doing business outside." Yan Jiecheng was also very puzzled.

"What's so strange about that? Everything looks at the money, I used to hear the third master say that you must know how to eat your brain to be a man, but I haven't figured it out, I went inside and took a turn,

Now I have come to my senses, eating the brain is to know how to use the brain in everything, to eat with wisdom, and to work honestly is useless.

Yo, the dish is here, Yan Jiekuang, hurry up and serve the food. Being a worker, bah, I can't be a worker again in my life. Liu Guangtian felt that he really understood.

"Liu Guangtian, what do you want to do? Isn't it bad enough to trap me and my dad? Two thousand five hundred yuan, this is all owed by you, you have to find a way to pay it back to me and Dad. Liu Guangqi listened to Liu Guangtian's nonsensical words and became angry.

"Isn't it just 2,500 yuan, I admit the IOU I made, as long as I find a good way, I can pay it off soon." Liu Guangtian said unashamedly.

"Okay, just admit it, I advise you not to go crooked, if you want to do it again, my father and I won't care about you anymore." Liu Guangqi was completely speechless, and he didn't know where the second brother got his confidence.
