Zhang Mei said to Mei Yu: "These days, I am annoyed by Mei Long's schooling, and I begged someone not to say it, and I spent 30,000 yuan. Let's go to Shuangyue Lake to relax. Meiyu said, "Okay." With Xiao Zhao taking care of Meron and Meno, let's go to Shuangyue Lake for a while. ”

The two drove to Shuangyue Lake. Standing in the courtyard of the thatched house, Mei Yu said, "This open space in front of them must be beautiful with chrysanthemums of various colors." Zhang Mei smiled and didn't say anything.

Zhang Mei received a phone call, it was He Li calling. He Li: "Third sister, where is it?" Zhang Mei: "In Shuangyue Lake, come on, it's good here." ”

He Li: "I really want to go, these days, I have been quarreling with your brother-in-law, he is clamoring to go back to the company to work, saying that the two of them can't work together, there are many contradictions, and there are different opinions." ”

Zhang Mei: "The two of them, it's good to run in and run in." Otherwise, you can come to Shuangyue Lake and take a break. ”

He Li: "Okay, you send me a shared location, I'll go now." ”

An hour later, He Li came. He Li brought wine and meat. Zhang Mei said: "There is nothing lacking here, and you bring wine and meat." He Li said: "It's all ready-made in the hotel."

The three of them drank tea in the courtyard of the thatched house.

He Li said: "This is really a good place, with lakes and mountains, water and ripples, and willow trees. Hey, it's nice for you two to find this place. How much did this homestead cost? ”

Zhang Mei said: "We are a poor and remote place here, and the homestead is very cheap, so we gave a red envelope of 1,000 yuan, and 2,000 yuan was allocated for these two homesteads." ”

He Li said: "Two thousand yuan, too cheap." Hey, assign me one, and we'll be neighbors. ”

Zhang Mei said: "That's great, you're coming, let's drink tea, row, fish, and play cards here, which is called leisure." ”

He Li said: "It's a pity that the open space in front of me is idle, so it's better to plant some vegetables." ”

Zhang Mei smiled: "Your third brother just said that he would plant chrysanthemums of various colors." ”

He Li said: "Why does the third brother love chrysanthemums so much? Every year in early winter, when I go to your store, I see chrysanthemums of various colors and shapes placed in front of the store. ”

Zhang Mei did not speak.

Meiyu said: "Plant chrysanthemums under the east mountain, and see the south mountain leisurely." Leisure, you have to have a mood. ”

He Li said: "Third brother, I heard that you bought another house in Hedong District, how much has it gone up now?" ”

Mei Yu asked Zhang Mei: "Do you have any news from that insider?" ”

Zhang Mei said: "There is news, I have been confused in the past few days, I forgot to tell you, Xiao Liu said, the six-story elevator house has risen to 5,001 square meters." ”

Mei Yu smiled, it was the smile of the victor, he looked at the autumn scenery of the lake and mountains, and his mood was particularly comfortable.

He Li said: "Third brother, 5,001 square meters, can you still buy it?" ”

Mei Yu said: "I can buy it, I estimate that the elevator house on the sixth floor of Phoenix Garden can rise to 8,000 yuan." ”

Zhang Mei said: "You are so confident? ”

Mei Yu said: "I have faith. ”

He Li said: "I listen to the third brother, tomorrow you take me there, and I will buy two sets too." ”

Zhang Mei said: "Okay, tomorrow, your third brother and I will take you there." ”

He Li said: "I heard that the price of houses in Hedong District has risen, and it is speculated by the Wenzhou real estate speculation group. ”

Zhang Mei said: "Yes. ”

He Li said: "You said that Meilong was only one point short of a middle school, and it cost 30,000 yuan to get on, who did you ask for?" ”

Zhang Mei said: "It's the eldest sister's last group of godsisters, Wang Zhen did it." ”

He Li said, "Oh, how are you looking for her?" I know her, this person, who recognizes money but not people, is a money junkie. How much money did you send her? ”

Zhang Mei said: "Including clothes and money, there are 20,000 yuan, and I paid 10,800 yuan to the school, and I spent a total of 30,000 yuan." ”

He Li said: "You have spent unjustly money, you look for me, you can get it without spending a penny." ”

Zhang Mei said: "I don't know, at that time, the eldest sister called Wang Zhen, saying that she was the director of the art class, and it was the most suitable to find her." ”

He Li said: "If you look for me, you don't even have to pay the 10,000 hundred." ”

Zhang Mei said: "This matter has already been done, and it is not good to say anything more." Otherwise, it's not good for the eldest sister. ”

Mei Yu said: "Let the past pass, the eldest sister is also kind and laborious." ”

He Li said: "What do you say about the current education, you have to give gifts to teachers since you were in elementary school, you have to give gifts on Teacher's Day, you have to give them in normal times, and you have to give gifts even when students change their seats." If you don't give gifts, you will arrange your children in the last row corner, you say that such a teacher, such an atmosphere, can teach students well? Also, this cram school, that cram school, the teacher does not teach well in the classroom, and the students spend money to go to the cram school, what kind of atmosphere is this? ”

Mei Yu said, "Alas! No way, that's the environment. Some people say that the Chinese are, money, money, money, everything revolves around money. ”

Zhang Mei said: "Look, let's come here to relax, and talk about these unpleasant things. Forget it, let's not talk about these things. ”

As she was talking, Sister Zhang Mei came over and said, "The dish is fried, you guys drink it." He Li said: "Eldest sister, I have worked hard for you." ”

Sister Zhang Mei said: "Don't be tired, you just eat well." ”

The moon has risen, the mountains and lakes are shining, and the scenery is pleasant.

The three of them were in the courtyard of the thatched house, near the lake, setting up the table and serving the food. Zhang Mei took out two bottles of Wuliangye and said, "Don't get drunk tonight." ”

He Li said: "Let's drink by ourselves, what are we doing with such good wine?" ”

Zhang Mei said: "You are here, you are a rare guest, of course you have to drink good wine." ”

The three of them chatted while drinking.

He Li said: "Third sister, do you know why our sisters are close? Because our sisters have similar experiences, they are both poor children in the mountains. Then I came to Linhe, went to work, started a business, and it was a small achievement. When I was a child, my father died early, our family was very poor, and my mother took my sisters and us to make ends meet. That's when I thought, when I grow up, I'm going to make a lot of money, and I'm going to give my mom and my sister a good life. I stopped going to school after junior high school. When I was seventeen years old, I came to Linhe and worked in a big fat hot pot restaurant...... I do everything. After a few years, I saved some money and borrowed some money from relatives and friends, and I wanted to open a big fat hot pot restaurant in Yishui. At that time, I was young, I rented the house, I didn't sign the contract, and when I had everything ready, the landlord suddenly said that the house was no longer renting to me. I was in a hurry, and as if I had gone mad, I threw myself at a wooden board that was covered with glass shards, and my hands were punctured, and blood was dripping outward. The landlord was also frightened, and even said, 'Don't do this, the house is rented to you, rented to you.' Then I got into it and signed a contract with him.

Later, business got better and better. After a few years, I returned to Linhe and opened this hotel and café. The hot pot restaurant in Yishui is for my sister. Sisters still have to take care of each other. ”

Speaking of this, He Li said: "Come, don't talk patronizingly, let's have a drink." ”

Zhang Mei said: "I also graduated from junior high school and stopped going to school. When I was seventeen years old, a relative introduced me to work in the Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory, first as a sewing worker, and after two years, Secretary Chen saw that I was dexterous and transferred me to the supply department. Later, rainy season came to Supply Division. I know that someone gossiped to the secretary and asked Meiyu to spy on me. Later, we both had intentions, but he just didn't say it or point it out. Later, I learned that he had just fallen out of love, and he might not be able to forget his first love.

Later, we felt that the Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory would not last long, so we asked your third brother to come down and open a wool retail store. Alas! This journey has also been arduous. ”

He Li said: "I have to admit that the third brother has his unique views on business. ”

Zhang Mei smiled and said, "At that time, I heard that he was a nerd, hey, I didn't expect that this nerd would not be stupid at all when he started business." ”

Mei Yu smiled and said: "Don't make fun of me, in fact, there is nothing in business, just look farther and higher, and you have to rely on luck." ”

He Li said, "Alas! The ancients said that life is like a white horse, and so many years have passed. ”

Mei Yu said: "You two sisters talk first, I will walk by the lake and smoke a cigarette, your third sister is allergic to smoke." ”

He Li said: "You go and smoke, I'll talk to the third sister slowly." ”

Zhang Mei said: "We have five sisters, the eldest sister, the second sister, and the fifth sister, all of whom grew up in the city, and the two of us came out of the mountains. I think in the past few years, the second sister has mixed well and become a section chief in the Finance Bureau. ”

He Li said: "Do you know how the second sister became the section chief? She has a hand with the director of the Finance Bureau, otherwise, can she become a section chief? Let's just say this, but don't say it. Now, it's all the unspoken rules, those beautiful girls, who want to be the heroine, follow the unspoken rules of the director; Those beautiful women in the unit want to be promoted, and follow the unspoken rules of the leader. Society is like that. Hey, third brother, why are you running so far? Come over for a drink. ”

Meiyu came over and sat down.

Zhang Mei said: "How much more wine?" ”

He Li said: "There is still half a bottle." ”

"Pour," Zhang Mei said, "it's all full." ”

He Li picked up the wine bottle and poured it full of wine, and said, "Come, this glass of wine, I wish us a prosperous business and a great fortune this year." ”

The next day, the three of them came to Phoenix Garden, and He Li bought two sets of six-story elevator houses. Later, Zhang Mei approved a homestead for He Li next to Nanyue Lake, next to Zhang Mei's two-story building, and asked Zhang Mei's cousin to build a two-story building. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

He Li stayed for a week and left, Meiyu and Zhang Mei stayed for another five days, and Zhang Mei missed her two children and also went home.

One day, Mei Yu sat in the office, watched TV, listened to music, he turned off the music, sat alone smoking and drinking tea, the phone rang, it was Dong Ju calling.

Dong Ju: "Meiyu, what are you busy with?" ”

Mei Yu: "What about drinking tea alone in the office?" ”

Dong Ju: "Which office?" ”

"Oh," Mei Yu smiled, "It's my villa that I didn't live in, and I converted it into an office." ”

"Oh," Dong Ju also smiled: "I thought you opened a store again." ”

Mei Yu: "No, staying at home is different from staying in the office. ”

Dong Ju: "How about inviting me to drink tonight?" ”

Mei Yu: "Okay, I'm bored and panicked when I'm alone." ”

Dong Ju: "Let's go to the restaurant we went to when we were young, called Manxiangyuan." ”

Mei Yu: "Let's go to a good hotel, that place is too old." ”

Dong Ju: "No, I'm going there, I want to get back to the way I used to feel." Just the two of us, don't take anyone else. ”

Rainy season; "Okay, what time am I going to pick you up?"

Dong Ju: "Half past five." ”

Mei Yu: "Okay, I'll go over at half past five." ”

When the two came to Manxiang Garden, it was already dark. Dong Ju carried two bottles of Moutai and deliberately came to the position by the window on the second floor. Because, when they were young, they sat in this position and ate.

They sat down in their seats, and Dong Ju said, "Remember when we were young, we ate here?" ”

Mei Yu said: "I remember, I often recall that scene. ”

"I often think about it. Can we go back to the way things were? Dong Ju suddenly asked. The rainy season was silent.

Dong Ju said: "Don't get me wrong, I mean back to the previous state of mind. ”

"Oh, well, of course."

"Hey, it feels good to be young, and with you, it's like going back to the old days. Do you know what I'm thinking about most right now? Dong Ju suddenly asked again, and then said: "I want to be with you the most, because you are my first love." ”

Mei Yu said: "Me too, you are also my first love." ”

Two dishes came up, and Dong Ju said, "Pour it on the bar." "The rainy season opened the bottle and filled it with wine. Dong Ju raised his glass, "Come, I wish us good health and prosperous business." The two clinked glasses.

Dong Ju said: "Come, eat vegetables, these are what you like to eat." ”

Mei Yu said, "Dong Ju, can I ask you a question that shouldn't be asked?" ”

"Just ask," Dong Ju smiled, "just ask." ”

Mei Yu said: "I have always wondered, why have you been single? This sentence seemed to sting Dong Ju, she seemed to recall her misfortune, she lowered her head in pain and shed tears. Mei Yu panicked and hurriedly said, "Or, I shouldn't have asked this question." ”

Dong Ju raised her head, wiped away her tears, and said slowly: "I will never forget that unhappy marriage, so I decided to never enter into marriage again." You don't know how much that marriage hurt me. He went out eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, found three mistresses, and when he came home, he asked me for money, but when he didn't have money, he scolded me and beat me...... At that time, I was suicidal. Later, I worked hard to earn money and use his father's power. That's why I thought that when I made more money, I would divorce him, and at least I could get half of the family property. However, when I earned enough money and wanted to divorce him, he died in a car accident. I don't know if it's my luck or misfortune. From then on, I decided never to walk into marriage again, into that cage. ”

She quieted down, "Don't talk about that, come on, do one." The two clinked glasses and drank them all.

Mei Yu said: "I shouldn't have asked this question to bring back your unfortunate memories. ”

"It's nothing, the happiest time in the first half of my life was with you. I often reminisce about those bits and pieces. But I left you, and I got everything I could in life, fame, money, status...... But I lost the most precious love of my life. I want to go back to the old days with you, but don't get me wrong, I will never destroy your family. Here, drink another one. The two clinked glasses. Drink it all.

Dong Ju said again: "Can you accompany me out on vacation for a while?" ”

"Where to go?"

"Rushan."

"How many days?"

"It's up to you, for as many days as you want."

"Twenty days?"

"Yes."

"When are we going?"

"Tomorrow, is that okay?"

"Yes, I'll pick you up by car, what time is it?"

"Nine o'clock in the morning."

"Okay, let's settle it. Come, have a great trip and cheers. ”

When Meiyu got home, it was already ten o'clock, and Zhang Mei was watching TV.

"You're drinking too much again?"

"No, I talked to a few friends about business, and they said that the house prices in Rushan are very low, and it is a sea view house, I want to go and see it."

Zhang Mei said: "Our money has been invested in real estate, and now we have no cash in our hands, what are you doing there?" ”

"I'll go and inspect it first, if the price is right, you can buy a set, and in summer, you can go to escape the heat."

"Ao," Zhang Mei said, "That's what you mean, then you can go." ”

"I want to go tomorrow."

"Yes, it's okay at home anyway, I won't go, I'm watching the two children at home."

"Okay," said Meiyu, "let's settle it like this, I'll leave tomorrow." ”

On the shore of Rushan Silver Beach, in Dong Ju's villa, Mei Yu and Dong Ju were sitting in the courtyard drinking coffee. They arrived at noon and went to a restaurant for a drink.

Sitting in the courtyard of the villa, looking at the blue sea and blue sky, silver sand, drinking coffee, enjoying the cool sea breeze, it is unforgettable.

Dong Ju said: "There are two idioms, I don't know which one is right and which one is wrong, you read a lot, can you explain it to me?" ”

"What idiom?"

"Life is like a dream and dreams are like life."

Mei Yu said: "Both of these idioms are true. I feel like life is like a dream right now. How did you think that when we parted, how could we expect to be here again today? I also have the feeling of dreaming like life now. When I broke up with you, I dreamed of being with you many times. Now, aren't we together again? ”

Dong Ju said: "Hey, think about this life, who is perfect? When others encounter something that doesn't go their way, people will always persuade others to think about it, but when it's their turn, they can't think about it. This is called easier to persuade others, but harder to persuade yourself. ”

Mei Yu said: "What you said is right, people should be broad-minded and think openly when encountering problems." Some people can't think about it and suffer from depression, and that kind of life is painful. ”

Dong Ju said: "It's not in vain to come here, right? Life is like this, often change circumstances. ”

Mei Yu said: "This place is really good, the blue sea and blue sky, the air is fresh, I also want to buy a house here, and when I am free, I come here to spend a vacation and relax." You can't always work, you should take a break. ”

Dong Ju said: "Aren't you idle enough now, sitting at home and commanding remotely?" Mei Yu said: "Leisure is idle enough, but this person is used to being busy, and once he is free, he feels uncomfortable." ”

Dong Ju said: "So, people can't be too tired, but they can't be idle. I have a project right now, I wonder if you're interested in doing it? ”

"What project?"

Dong Ju said: "In Beicheng New District, I bought a piece of land, which is just east of the city hall and south of Wuzhou Lake. That piece of land is 40 acres, and I want to develop it into a large shopping mall with one-stop service for eating, drinking and playing, and a supermarket on the basement floor, what do you think of this project? ”

"I think it's a good project. There is a seven-eighty-ten chance of winning. In the Beicheng New District, there is still a lack of such a large shopping mall. If you want to build, you have to build luxury. In addition, in Beicheng New District, there are more and more people living there, and business will get better and better. ”

Dong Ju said: "Since you see it this way, let's cooperate to build this project, what do you think." ”

Mei Yu said: "This project is very good, but I don't have any cash in my hand right now." ”

Dong Ju said: "You are a person, the advantage is modesty, and the disadvantage is that you are too modest. I understand your current situation, Meihua logistics market, there is a net income of 10 million per year; Fengyang Road and Pedestrian Street have a net income of 3.5 million yuan per year; Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory, with an annual income of 900,000 yuan; In this way, there is an income of 10,000 yuan every year. This doesn't include your income from handling wool. With so much income and you don't have any cash in hand? ”

Mei Yu smiled and said, "How do you know about me, do you have an inside line?" ”

Dong Ju also smiled and said, "Don't care how I know, do you think what I said is the truth?" ”

Mei Yu said: "What you say is the truth, but I really don't have any cash in my hand now." ”

"So what's going on?" Dong Ju asked puzzled.

"I'll be honest with you, my money is invested in real estate in Hedong."

Dong Ju said: "You mean you bought a lot of houses in Hedong District? ”

"Yes," said Meiyu, "I did buy a lot." ”

"What kind of house did you buy?"

"Six-story elevator bungalow."

"At what price?"

"About three thousand three, right?"

"How much did you buy?"

"Bought a lot."

Dong Ju smiled and said, "You are really an investment genius, and now it has risen to more than six thousand, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Hey, it's amazing how you can grow your business to this scale in such a short period of time. In the past, people said that you were a nerd, but I didn't expect you, a nerd, to be so good at doing business. I heard that you are self-made and have no backstage, it is a miracle to be able to do this. ”

Mei Yu said: "Don't lift me up, compared to you, I'm not a small witch." ”

"Hahaha," Dong Ju laughed heartily and said, "Let's not lift each other up." Hey, but, you're not very idle now, Meihua Logistics Market, there is Zhang Mei's brother to manage, Fengyang Road and Pedestrian Street, rent is charged once a year, and you give Zhang Wei to the retail store. I think, you are a genius, come to me as a vice president, with an annual salary of one million, good performance, and a bonus at the end of the year, what do you think? ”

Mei Yu said: "This, this, I want to discuss it with Zhang Mei." ”

Dong Ju said briskly: "Okay, let's discuss it, give me a reply." ”

"Okay, okay."

Dong Ju suddenly changed the topic and said: "I heard that you buy a lot of chrysanthemums in early winter every year, chrysanthemums of various colors, and put them at the door of the store, Zhang Mei also made fun of you, saying that you can't forget the old love, is that the case?" ”

Mei Yu said: "There are some things that you can't forget the more you want to forget, which can be regarded as another kind of thought." He looked at the sea as if he were far, far away......

Dong Ju slowly approached him, hugged her, and said, "I failed you, I'm sorry." The two hugged each other tightly and both shed tears......

Dong Ju said: "If there is an afterlife, I will definitely be your wife......

"I hope so, I hope there will be an afterlife......"

They have been living in Rushan for five days. In the morning, they go to see the rising sun, and during the day, they run barefoot in the sand, laughing. It was as if they had gone back to when they were young, carefree and enjoying the beautiful scenery to the fullest. When he was tired of running, he sat down in the sand. They were at the water's edge, piling up sand and posing in various poses.

When I was tired of playing, I sat in the courtyard of the villa, drinking coffee and chatting at the same time. They are like ten years younger, and their hearts are full of joy and anticipation. It was their hope for many years, and when the moment came, they forgot all their worries. They want their lives to be like this...... Forever.

When they lived here for ten days, once, sitting in the courtyard of the villa drinking coffee, Dong Ju asked Mei Yu: "How much does your chrysanthemum fashion factory rent a year?" ”

Mei Yu said: "Nine hundred thousand." ”

Dong Ju said: "I think you might as well sell it, now, the land in that location is worth three million acres." How many acres does the chrysanthemum fashion factory occupy? ”

"Thirty Acres"

Dong Ju said: "If you sell him, if he sells well, he can sell it for 100 million." How much money can you make by reinvesting this 100 million? ”

"Sell?" Mei Yu said: "I have never sold land, how can I sell it?" ”

Dong Ju said: "I know a lot of real estate people, I will tell them to see if they have bought." ”

Meiyu said, "Okay." Also, I don't think we'll stay here for 20 days, Zhang Mei has called several times, asked me about the market here, and urged me to go back, I can't lie to her anymore. ”

"Okay," Dong Ju said, "Otherwise, let's go back tomorrow, and I will also go home and have something to deal with." ”

When Meiyu returned home, Zhang Mei was reading the report of Meihua Logistics Market, and when she saw Meiyu coming back, she asked, "Why did you come back so many days?" What market have they examined? ”

Mei Yu said: "I met a classmate there, so I stayed for a few more days. The market in Rushan is different from ours, the newly built buildings are expensive, and the second-hand houses are one-third cheaper, and it is better to buy a house than to rent, the rental price is cheap, and you have to move in. Also, you can't buy a house close to the sea, the dampness is too heavy, and it's easy to get arthritis. ”

Zhang Mei said: "You went for ten days, and you inspected the market? ”

Mei Yu said: "These days, I was bored at home, but when I went to the beach to be happy, I met my classmates again, so I stayed for a few more days. Also, yesterday, Dong Ju called me, saying that the location of the chrysanthemum fashion factory, the land can be sold for 3 million acres, and asked if we can sell it, and said that if it is sold well, it can be sold for 100 million. ”

"100 million?" Zhang Mei closed the account book and said, "Can you really sell so much?" ”

Mei Yu said: "Dong Ju is engaged in real estate, and she understands the price of land. ”

"One hundred million," Zhang Mei said, "of course it was sold." 100 million is deposited in the bank with a lot of interest, which is much better than renting 900,000 yuan. ”

Mei Yu poured a cup of tea, took a few sips, and said: "This problem should be viewed from two aspects: first, over the years, the price of land has been rising, and if it is not sold, it may still rise; Sell, this 100 million, to invest, will make money again. ”

Zhang Mei said: "Don't think so much, 100 million, just sell; If there is less, it will not be sold; We don't need money urgently anyway. ”

Meiyu said, "Okay, just as you say." ”

Zhang Mei said: "I will forgive you this time, and next time, no matter where I go, I will go too." ”

Meiyu said, "Okay." After a pause, he added, "Is there any news from your insider?" ”

Zhang Mei said: "I was about to tell you about this, Xiao Liu said, the house we bought has risen to 7,001 square meters." You say, do we sell it or not? ”

Mei Yu stood up and walked a few steps, as she said, "Let me think, let me think." Then, he said: "You ask Xiao Liu if the Wenzhou real estate speculation group is still in Hedong District." ”

Zhang Mei said, "Okay. She went to a secluded place to make a call. After a while, she came back and said, "Xiao Liu said that the Wenzhou real estate speculation group is still in Hedong District. ”

Mei Yu sat on the sofa and asked Zhang Mei, "What is your opinion?" ”

Zhang Mei said: "I think it's better to sell it, and it will more than double the price." ”

Mei Yu said, "Wait a little longer, take a look." This house, once it goes up, it can't fall, at most it goes sideways and doesn't go up or down. ”
