The train that Liu Sui'an took just opened this year, from Nanjing to Datong, no longer need to transfer from the capital, the whole journey is four hours, which is much more convenient than the one Liu Sui'an took home a few years ago.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the train arrived in Datong smoothly.

With the announcement of the flight attendant, Liu Suian took off his headphones and got off the bus in the first position.

After getting out of the car, he deliberately slowed down his pace, trying to find the figure of the ball-headed girl in the crowd of people who got out of the car.

It was fruitless for a long time.

It seems that she did not get off at this stop.

After shaking his head and dispelling the feeling of loss in his heart, Liu Suian walked out of the station and called a taxi home.

Twenty minutes later, Liu Suian stood in front of a small bookstore.

Shuhai Book House, a bookstore that Liu Suian's father has worked hard to run for 20 years, this is the place where Liu Suian has lived since he was a child, and it is also the source of all the income of Liu Suian's family.

After all, I haven't been home for more than half a year.

The store in front of me is still familiar, but the bicycles that used to be placed in front of the store are missing, which are usually parked outside the store when customers are picking up books in the store.

Liu Sui'an had a bad premonition in his heart.

He pushed open the familiar door.

Seeing the scene in the bookstore, Liu Suian couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

I saw that in the store of more than 90 square meters, there were several empty bookshelves and bookcases, and countless books of all kinds in the past have all disappeared, not to mention customers who came to buy books in advance.

What happened?

The bookstore went out of business?

With a mind full of suspicion, Liu Suian quickly swept over the bookcase in the hall, and ran to the second floor in three steps and two steps.

The bookstore is a duplex structure, with books sold on the first floor and people living on the second floor.

"Mom, are you there?" Liu Suian shouted.

A woman in her forties walked out of the bedroom, and when she saw Liu Suian's figure, she was both surprised and delighted, and said angrily: "Son, why did you come back, and you didn't say anything in advance." ”

She is Liu Suian's mother Ding Aiying, dressed plainly, and her beautiful face reveals a tiredness that cannot be concealed.

Liu Sui'an couldn't care about greetings, and said hurriedly: "What's going on at home, what about those books?" Where is my dad now? ”

"Alas, don't worry, you listen to me slowly......"

Seeing Liu Suian's reaction, Ding Aiying sighed heavily, knowing that she couldn't hide it, she pulled Liu Suian onto the sofa and told her what had happened recently.

Liu Sui'an's father, Liu Manyi, has come into contact with a new gadget in recent months, the virtual currency - Star Coins, and has invested some of his savings into it.

Virtual currency is something similar to stocks, the difference is that stocks have real companies as their backbones, while virtual currency, as its name suggests, is completely virtual.

Since entering the pit, Star Coin has been stable and improving, and its market value has maintained a rapid growth rate, which has brought Liu Manyi full confidence.

So he simply hid it from Ding Aiying and invested all his savings into it.

Not only that, in order to make up more principal, he also borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends.

Who knew that just half a month ago, the star coin, which has been stable and good, suddenly dived, and its market value fell off a cliff, and overnight, it was less than one-ten-thousandth of its original value.

In layman's terms, the star coins that were originally 10,000 yuan a piece can't be sold for a single dollar, and all the money invested by Liu Manyi has been lost.

Because of this incident, many people at home and abroad went bankrupt because of Star Coins, and then they couldn't think of jumping off the building to commit suicide.

Half a month ago, when Liu Suian saw these news, he was still talking about it, joking that if you don't have any strength, don't touch the game of capital, the bigwigs have almost made money and retreated, and the small retail investors can only ask for more blessings.

Who would have thought that the people who were recruited would include their own family.

Maybe it was Liu Suian's smile that deducted the merit of the family.

After the collapse of the Star Coin, Liu Manyi's relatives and friends came over one after another to ask for money, for fear that it would be too late and Liu Manyi would have no money to pay him back.

Human nature is understandable.

Liu Manyi is a face-saving person, and he doesn't want to bear the name of an old man, so he has to pay back the money by smashing pots and selling iron.

To this end, he sold his family's car, cleared all the inventory in the bookstore, and discounted it all to pay off the debt collectors.

It's a pity that this hole is too big, and it is still more than 700,000 short.

Liu Manyi discussed with Ding Aiying, used the house as collateral, and borrowed 700,000 yuan from the bank, and reluctantly repaid most of it.

In order to repay the remaining debts, Liu Manyi bought a motorcycle and delivered food day and night.

Liu Suian couldn't calm down for a long time after hearing this, and then said strangely after a while: "My father has been running this bookstore for more than 20 years and has always been down-to-earth, how could he suddenly fall into this kind of thing, thinking that life is too comfortable?" ”

"Don't blame your father, he is also here to buy you a house after you work in a big city in the future, otherwise how can you get married if you don't have a house."

Ding Aiying's eyes turned red as she spoke.

Hearing Ding Aiying's explanation, Liu Suian almost understood Liu Manyi's motives.

The old Liu family has a graduate student from 985 University, and Liu Manyi has always been proud.

In China, Southeast University is not a top batch of universities, there are many universities stronger than Southeast University, Liu Suian has never been complacent because of his academic qualifications, he knows that there are people outside the world.

However, under the backdrop of children of the same age in the neighborhood dropping out of school and junior college, Liu Suian's academic qualifications made Liu Manyi's face particularly bright.

Liu Manyi accepted countless envy from his neighbors, and people always praised him for teaching his son.

However, he always felt that Liu Sui'an was able to be admitted to a good university, completely relying on his smart brain, and he didn't do enough.

So in order to buy a house for Liu Suian in a big city, he chose a shortcut full of risks.

In addition, Liu Manyi, as a middle-aged man with a little vanity, can use coin speculation to make money at the forefront of the times, which is also something that can be taken out and boasted about.

Liu Suian patted Ding Aiying's back, took her a tissue to wipe away her tears, and sighed:

"No, what did Lao Liu do when he sold all the books, my uncles are easy to talk to, they owe the money over there first, so they can keep the circulating funds in the store, so that they won't go out to deliver takeaways and suffer, right?"

Liu Suian clearly remembers that when Liu Manyi ran a bookstore in his early years, he often walked around carrying a box of books alone, for which Liu Manyi was left with a serious back injury.

Can you stand this physical fitness delivery?

Don't make much money at that time, people will go to the hospital.

Ding Aiying let out another long sigh.

"Your uncle is easy to talk to, but your aunt is not necessarily. Each family has its own difficulties, the eldest uncle's son wants to marry a daughter-in-law, and the second uncle's daughter has to find a job, alas......"

After a while, Liu Manyi hurried home.

He heard Ding Aiying send a message that Liu Suian suddenly went home, so he came back to see his son in advance.

Liu Manyi had not yet reached the second floor, and the voice came up from the stairs first.

"Sui'an is back? I don't want to say it in advance. ”

Liu Manyi's speed up to the second floor was not slower than Liu Sui'an's.

After Liu Sui'an saw his appearance, his nose was instantly sour, and he had an indescribable feeling.

Liu Manyi was originally a slightly chubby figure, with white and clean skin, but now he is several degrees darker, and his figure looks much thinner.

It's just that the smile on his face is still familiar.

"If you hadn't been clever last night and posted a message in the group, my son wouldn't have rushed back." Ding Aiying scolded with a smile.

Liu Manyi laughed awkwardly a few times, looking at the mother and son in the living room at a loss.

Liu Suian suppressed the sourness in his heart, got up and welcomed Liu Manyi to the sofa and sat down, joking in a relaxed tone.

"Play with coins, play with coins, what's the matter, Lao Liu, just like me playing games, it's a dish and a fun."

Without waiting for Liu Manyi to reply, Liu Suian continued: "But it doesn't matter, it's not a big problem." I recently followed our Professor Zhang to do a big project, and I got 500,000 yuan. Now there is still some stuff on the project side, so the money will have to wait for a while. ”

"Really?"

Ding Aiying and Liu Manyi said in unison, and the two looked at each other, full of suspicion.

I haven't done anything in the past two years of graduate school, and you just had an accident at home, and you made money by doing big projects?

"What am I lying to you?"

Liu Suian rolled his eyes, his expression was full of unhappiness that his parents didn't trust him, and his acting skills soared.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday that I was going to be a big shot? Mom, I have to criticize you, you don't take my words at ease. If you don't believe me, you can call Zhang Boheng and ask him if I have designed an amazing algorithm. ”

"He's your professor, and he takes you to do projects, respect." Ding Aiying said with a straight face.

"Good, good. Remember Professor Zhang's phone number, he may not be so busy right now, you can call and ask. ”

Liu Suian is still 'filled with righteous indignation'.

"We either don't trust your abilities, or it feels a bit of a coincidence, and you make money by doing projects just after something happens at home. Don't make phone calls, the professor is so busy, there is no need to disturb people. ”

Liu Manyi said, with mixed tastes on his face, he didn't expect to struggle for half a life, and finally ask his son to clean up the mess for himself.

"Another village, this is life, Lao Liu." Liu Suian patted Liu Manyi on the shoulder.

Liu Manyi dusted Liu Suian's hand away, and scolded with a smile: "Go and go, no big or small, no matter how good you are, I am also your son." ”

"Okay, okay, yes. You have to promise me that with your waist, you won't deliver food in the future. When I get 500,000 yuan, if you can't be idle, you can buy some more books and come back, live the life you used to, and you can also take my mother around in the future. ”

"What do you want, after making up your second uncle's money, there is still a bank loan to repay."

"It's only a matter of time before you can do the first project and the second one, and I'll see my name on the news in the future."

"Mom doesn't expect you to get ahead more, just be safe." Ding Aiying is another old-fashioned rhetoric, but in fact, when she saw that Liu Sui'an was promising, she was happier than anyone else.

"These two points do not conflict, and the pattern should be opened ......"

Until dinner, Liu Suian was lying on the sofa with a big grin, supporting his head with his left hand and melon seeds with his right hand, drawing flatbread for Liu Manyi and Ding Aiying.

Pointing to the country, high-spirited, there is a momentum of a leader in the new era.

Liu Manyi and Ding Aiying showed long-lost smiles on their faces because of Liu Suian's homecoming.

What they didn't notice was that Liu Suian rubbed the silver-gray earrings with his left hand, and his eyes gradually became firm.
