Chapter 36 Classmates See Each Other Again, and the Roots Are Detailed
When I came to the door of Wang Xiaofeng's old house, I immediately recalled the situation when Sister Yun got married many years ago and asked me to be a bridesmaid to accompany her to this family. It was the most difficult time for Wang Xiaofeng's family, his father broke his leg in the construction station to build a house, and he couldn't work in the fields, and the whole family had no support, so he had to extinguish the dream of going to college and dropped out of school to come back to farm, in order to find a helper and comfort, he married Sister Yun in desperation. Sister Yun has exhausted all her love and energy for this family and this person, until today. However, although she loves Wang Xiaofeng deeply and hopes to spend her life with him, she doesn't really know him. Wang Xiaofeng also likes Sister Yun's beauty, talent and gentleness and thoughtfulness, but he has always had ideals and careers that are completely different from hers, he wants to get ahead, prove his talent and ability, he wants to work hard for his ideals and career, be angry and strong, and not stick to small sections and personal feelings. When they farmed together in the village and opened a shop together in the town, this kind of love could still be maintained, but when Wang Xiaofeng left his hometown and came to Shenzhen, especially when he met Miss Mei and saw a great opportunity to make a fortune, the love between him and Sister Yun was difficult to maintain, and the two finally parted ways. From marriage to divorce, ups and downs, divisions and mergers, joys and sorrows, and vicissitudes. My heart also beats with Sister Yun, experiencing joys and sorrows. Creation makes people, and now Wang Xiaofeng has fallen to the trough of his life, everything he has in his hands has been lost, and it has come to naught, he has returned to his hometown, family, and the starting point of take-off. Sister Yun saw the hope of love again, so she seized the opportunity to come to me for help; Thinking of the friendship of my best friend for many years, I must help her, and it is my duty to do so. I thought all the way to Komine's house. The courtyard is still the same, and the scene is very different, which makes me feel emotional.
I mustered up the courage to knock on the door. It was Wang Xiaofeng's mother who opened the door.
"It's Yingzi, come in." Although the old man had added a lot of gray hair, he was still as enthusiastic as ever.
"I heard that Xiaofeng is back, I'll come and see him."
"It's been a few days since I came back, and I'm worried in the house, and it's not a solution. Yesterday I discussed with his father, and I wanted to ask you to persuade him, but I was afraid that you would be busy with work and not idle; I don't want you to come today, in the end you are old classmates, and you know that you care about him. ”
"Xiaofeng and I are old classmates who have studied together since childhood, from the village and town until we graduated from high school in the county seat, and we will never forget the relationship between classmates for more than ten years. I heard that Xiao Feng encountered this kind of thing, it was so unexpected, how could I not come to see him? ”
"Thank you, Eiko. He's in the back room, so you go and enlighten him, and make him want to open up. Why can't you eat? Do you still have to do business? ”
"Sister Yun thought the same thing, and she couldn't rest assured, so she asked me to come over and see Xiaofeng."
"Sister Yun? Sister Yun came to you? is really a good boy with affection and righteousness, Xiaofeng is sorry for her! ”
"It's all over, so I won't talk about it. Sister Yun is not married, and Huzi is still following her, in the final analysis, they are still a family. ”
"Well, that's what we thought, too. A girl in Zhuangzi knows the roots and is reliable; The woman outside, watery poplar, is unreliable. Xiao Feng was still cheated by her in the end, and he was miserable! Xiaofeng's mother sighed, infinitely sad and regretful.
The inner room is the house where Wang Xiaofeng and Sister Yun got married as a new house. Wang Xiaofeng was half-lying on an old wooden bed, sure enough, his clothes were half-old and not new, and he was wrinkled, his hair was unkempt, and although he was bare-bearded, he still looked very haggard. When he saw me come in, he quickly sat up.
"Why are you here?"
"Come and see you."
"Come see my jokes, huh?"
"What are you talking about? As a fellow classmate and a good friend who grew up studying together, is it only when you are developed to come to see you, and you shouldn't come when you are difficult? ”
Wang Xiaofeng had mixed feelings when he heard this, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer. Reluctantly, he finally pointed to the chair in front of the bed and told me to sit down.
I sat down and looked at Wang Xiaofeng, thinking about how to persuade Wang Xiaofeng to return to Sister Yun, and after some thought, I decided to be arrested for smuggling from him.
"Hasn't your business always been booming, why did you suddenly fall to this point?" I asked knowingly.
"Hit the muzzle, it's bad luck!" Wang Xiaofeng said angrily.
"What the hell are you in business? How so? ”
Wang Xiaofeng stopped talking again when he saw this, and was silent for a while, and he finally said:
"Now, I'm not afraid that you know, in a word, it's smuggling. Televisions, tape recorders, video recorders, cameras, washing machines, air conditioners, refrigerators, and all household appliances are smuggled in whatever is easy to sell. Contact foreign smugglers and smuggle them in by sea, but they don't pass the customs, they don't have to pay customs duties, and they are very cheap! Sell at a high price and make huge profits! ”
"How dare you do this kind of business? You don't know it's against the law? ”
Wang Xiaofeng blushed and excused himself by saying:
"Why do I want to do this kind of business? is also forced to be helpless! You know, I have done a good job in our town's business, earning more than 10,000 yuan in two years, and was rated as a 'hard-working and wealthy leader' by the township government. I can't stand it because of those little ruffians! I want to open a store in the county, but I don't have enough funds, and I can't rent a suitable store for a while. happened to meet Zhao Ming at this time, he said that Shenzhen is easy to find a job and the salary is high, so he went to Shenzhen with him. I found a job, but I was too tired to work, and I had to work more than ten hours a day, and when I was busy, it was eleven or twelve hours. I couldn't bear it, so I wanted to continue my old business and do some business, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing! When he talked about the past, he was still indignant and felt aggrieved.
"I can't bear to work part-time, so I go home to farm, and I won't be too tired with Sister Yun's help; You can't do that kind of illegal thing. Do you know? As long as you do that kind of illegal thing, even if you don't fall now, you will fall sooner or later! ”
"I didn't want to do this kind of business at first – I didn't have that much capital, I just wanted to find a job with mental work, which would be easier and make more money. - You know, my body has always been thin and weak, and I can't do physical work; However, I searched all over Shenzhen, but I couldn't find a suitable job. ”
"You show them your high school diploma and transcripts, with your knowledge and practical ability, what kind of work can't you do?"
"No, I can't. In Shenzhen, all mental work requires a university diploma and a bachelor's degree. I took out my high school diploma, and people refused without even looking at it. In their view, high school graduates, junior high school graduates, elementary school graduates, and even illiterate people are all the same, all engaged in manual labor and are paid according to the piece. With my body, I can't even be illiterate. In the electronics factory, I worked for three months, and at first I was not skilled in technology, and I could only get six or seven hundred yuan a month, and then when I became proficient, I could only get a thousand yuan. Zhao Ming, who gets 156 a month, can get 2,000 yuan at most. Also, the working hours are too long, working eleven or twelve hours a day, and I am exhausted and feel like I am falling apart, I really can't bear it! ”
"You came out of the electronics factory and started this kind of business?"
"Nope. I wandered the streets of Shenzhen for several days, wanting to come back and continue to open the store, and I thought about all the difficulties and troubles of opening the store; I'm afraid of people's jokes: an illiterate person can make a lot of money when he comes to Shenzhen to work, and I am not as good as an illiterate high school graduate, and I am not ashamed! ”
"That's what happened to you?"
"Not yet. Do you think anyone can do this kind of business? It's not that simple. At first, I just went to the beach to get some electronic watches from the second-tier and third-tier dealers to sell them in the northern countryside, and I took them from them, two or three or three or four yuan each, and when I went to the northern countryside, I could sell them for more than ten yuan, and each could only earn eight or nine yuan, ten yuan, and I could earn two or three thousand yuan for one trip a month, which was slightly better and freer than working in an electronics factory. Later, I didn't sell it myself, but found some dealers in various places and exchanged it to them at a price of eight or nine yuan each, so that I could run three or four times a month, and when the sales volume was large, I would earn more, and I could earn six or seven thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan a month. ”
"Isn't that great? Why did you do that kind of business with Miss Mei again? ”
"At that time, I didn't know Miss Mei, and I didn't have the capital or the way to do that kind of business, so it was an accident that I met her. The more you do business, the more proficient and experienced you are. Later, I didn't take the electronic watch from the second-tier dealers, but directly from the sea smugglers, and an electronic watch was a piece of money. Once, a few accomplices and I bought a batch of goods, negotiated a good price, paid for it, and as soon as we got it on our ship, we were discovered and seized by the anti-smuggling team. If it is confiscated, I will lose all my money and lose all my hard-earned money. They said that there was someone in Miss Mei's anti-smuggling team, so we went to find Miss Mei, and she was very righteous and settled the matter for us, and soon the goods came out. As a token of appreciation, a few of us pooled some money to give to Miss Mei; She didn't ask for it, saying that when anyone has a stumble in a business like ours, maybe I will ask you for help in the future. Later, she did a few things for us, and we didn't ask for money. That's how we got to know each other. ”
"It seems that this Miss Mei is an old smuggler, even if you know each other, it is not of the same grade, she is just using you as a horse boy, why did she marry you?"
"Getting married, that's later. In order to repay the kindness, we did a few things for her, she saw that I was a high school graduate, I could write and calculate, and I was also shrewd and decisive, so she said to me behind my back: Don't sell electronic watches, you can't make a lot of money; You can do it with me, I promise to make you a lot of money. I said that I don't have much money, so I can only do these small transactions. He said how much money do you have, and I said only seventy or eighty thousand; She said that we are 100,000 yuan a share, and if you take 70,000 yuan, you will also count it as a share, and then dividends will be distributed according to the shares; In addition, I will give you another 20,000 yuan a month, even if you are my work assistant. As soon as I heard that the treatment was good, I also wanted to find a backer in Shenzhen, so I agreed. ”
"Then you got married when you had a relationship?"
"Nope. Because I was her work assistant, I had more contact with her, and she asked me to do a lot of things. Once she told me that she was married, and her husband was also a businessman, and then he met a very beautiful female college student, so he secretly took her and all the family property and ran to the United States, and they lost contact with each other. I persuaded her to say, on your terms, what kind of people can not find property? Just find another one. She said, I think you're good, let's be together, right? I said no, I have a wife, children, and elderly and disabled parents at home, and I will have to go home sooner or later. When she saw that I didn't agree, she said, I'm joking with you, I'm still waiting for him to come back, I guess he will come back to me automatically when he runs out of money. I'm just a person who feels very lonely and lonely, let's be sisters and brothers, you often come to talk to me and relieve boredom. So I agreed. ”
"You rejected her, only agreed to be a brother and sister, why did you get married again?"
"Alas! I was a little to blame for what happened next. One time we were drinking together, and I got drunk and stayed at her place, and that happened. At this time, Wang Xiaofeng seemed to regret a little.
