Chapter 17: Money

When my father heard that I was going to grow vegetables in a greenhouse behind the house, he was opposed at first, but at my insistence, he reluctantly agreed.

"Unless you can grow cucumbers like today, then we're going to turn over this day."

I can't grow this kind of melon in the back of the house, but I thought of a way to dispel my father's concerns, and I can transplant some when the time comes.

I took out 10,000 yuan in cash from my bag and put it in front of my father.

"Dad, you take this money, and tomorrow you will go to the township to buy some bamboo chips and plastic film, which can be used in greenhouses."

The father looked at the money on the table with a look of suspicion.

"Didn't your salary buy a tricycle? How can there be so much money? Where did it come from? ”

"Dad, don't worry about where the money comes from, a friend does business, I bought shares, this is my share of the red. That's why I wanted to grow a greenhouse. I want to expand, formalize, and corporate. If you don't understand it, just do what I say, and you'll be sure. ”

The mother interjected: "My son is older, your mind can't keep up with the situation, there are some things, I can't just listen to you, listen to the children, the days are theirs." ”

It is true that my father is not as open as my mother, although when I was a child, my mother often beat me, and my father never touched a finger on me.

My father took the money in disbelief, and we began to plan how to buy bamboo chips.

It's coming, it's a mustache. He was glad to hear that all the fish he had pulled were sold. He listened to me and gave the aunt a trough, and the other party was very grateful to him. He said he would come tomorrow morning to pull the fish. Thinking that I was going to attend Chen Yousheng's wedding, I told him that I couldn't pull it anymore at noon.

The bearded man had a little regret, but he had to do so.

At 5 o'clock the next morning, just after dawn, the bearded songthaew arrived, and I was almost caught off guard, but fortunately I was called yesterday. If he arrives and I go to the space to get fish, it won't be easy.

The bearded man told me that the woman had some fish in her hand, and that she could share some with him, so that she would not have to worry about the afternoon's goods.

After sending away the beard, I fell asleep again, and in a daze, I heard my mother call me to get up and eat. After dinner, they went to the village to sell cucumbers.

I entered the space, and the cucumber grew new one. I wanted to pick some more and let my parents sell them, but after thinking about it, the cucumbers grew too fast and couldn't be sold by the parents alone. I wanted to go back to the county seat as soon as possible and wholesale to those vendors, so I didn't pick it again.

I came to Chen Yousheng's house.

My family lives in the west of the village, and his family lives in the east of the village. When you look at this house, you can see how big the gap between the rich and the poor is.

The two-storey small western-style building has a wrought iron fence wall, red bricks and green tiles, and the windows are bright and clean. From the inside out, there is a modern life. Build a two-story building in the village, which is more spacious than a small villa in the metropolis.

The windows on the doors are covered with red wedding characters and window flowers, and there is a lively and festive atmosphere.

The courtyard was already full of people, and it was bustling and lively.

There are a lot of small cars parked on the street, and there are many rich and noble owners who come to their homes as guests, and the vehicles are naturally indispensable, and most of them are brand-name luxury cars.

When I entered the courtyard, I was like a stranger, I knew almost everyone in the village, but few paid attention to me, at most nodded and smiled, and that's it. I didn't care about that.

When I came to the wedding banquet, I always had to pay a share of the money, and I really didn't know how much to take. In terms of relationship, Chen Yousheng and I are classmates, and I will take as much as my classmates take. It can't be according to the etiquette of the villagers, and thirty or twenty really can't do it. Even though I am poor, I still understand etiquette.

A few people in front of the account table were surrounding the account, and they all knew each other at a glance, it was several of my classmates, Ma Xiaoer, Liu Yongshan, Qiao Hui, Fang Qingyu, who greeted me when they saw me coming, and they hadn't seen them for many years.

"Old classmate, how many gifts are you going to give Katsuko? We're a thousand per person! ”

Ma Xiaoer tilted his head, slanted his cigarette in his mouth, and asked me, completely looking down on me.

I am neither humble nor arrogant.

"I'll go as long as you want."

took out 1,000 yuan from his pocket and put it directly on the table, "Chen Lingyu, give 1,000 as a gift." ”

"Ouch! Your temper hasn't changed! When I was in school, I was stubborn, and I still have the same temper at this time. You can't do us, we're all businessmen, big and small, and we're bosses. I heard that you have been a small worker on the construction site for so many years, and it is not easy to make money, you can just follow a head of two hundred, you don't have to slap your face and become fat, and it is not easy to explain to your parents when you get home. Saving money to marry a daughter-in-law is the right way. Otherwise, we'll leave you even farther behind, and my son will be about to hit soy sauce! ”

Other classmates also coaxed me, saying that I was poor and poor, and they all ignored me.

I smiled indifferently, "They are all classmates, and they are treated equally, so there is no need to distinguish grades." I'm poor, and I can still afford the 1,000 yuan. ”

At this moment, Chen Yousheng came over in a suit and leather shoes, and on this hot day, the dress still had to be worn thoroughly.

"Chen Lingyu is here!" He seemed to see the amount of money on the ledger.

"Let's go sit and arrange a table for our students on the second floor."

The classmates walked upstairs one after another, and I walked last.

Chen Yousheng grabbed me, called me aside, and stuffed 1,000 yuan into my hand.

"Brother's meaning, brother understands it, you are the best gift when you come. Brother knows that your current conditions are not good, and this 1,000 yuan is really a bit heavy for you. You take the money back, and you can write as much as you need on the bill. Brother knows it in his heart. ”

I didn't think he would come here, I definitely wouldn't agree, how could I be embarrassed to get the money back again? He was busy, he was called over, and the money was left in my hands.

I returned to the desk and asked if Chen Yousheng had taken the money here. The bookkeeper was stunned for a moment, "No?" ”

Only then did I understand that this money was Chen Yousheng's own pocket.

I was a little hot with this money, so I asked the bookkeeper to write me another copy. When Chen Yousheng saw this account, he must have understood what I meant, and there was no need to explain too much.

I don't approve of his approach, my heart is still warm, compared to other classmates, I think it's quite close to Chen Yousheng.

I didn't take my seat, so I watched the people coming and going in the courtyard. Basically, they are all villagers in this village, those I don't know are Chen Yousheng's relatives of his family, and some of his fox friends and dog friends.

It was said that his family would also hold one in the provincial capital, and the main guests would be his father's business friends. The woman will also hold a wedding banquet at the door, which is arranged by her mother's family, and I heard that the pomp will not be small.

Chen Yousheng saw that I was still standing in the courtyard, and urged me to go up to the second floor to chat with my classmates.

At this moment, Uncle Zhang, who was in charge of the kitchen, ran over in a hurry.

"Katsuko, there are 20 fish missing, what should I do?"
