Lao Xu has no education, but it doesn't mean that he has no culture.

Although the eldest and second brothers still eat with him, the small family of the two brothers is more difficult, and the third family is relatively wealthy.

However, as a parent, he has to have a bowl of water.

For many years, the family itself was not wealthy, and there was not much money in the pocket.

If you lend money to the eldest and second family, what if you need money in case you need money in an emergency?

In the past, Lao Xu would not think about emergency money at all, but only thought that it was a good thing to be able to save money.

But what happened in the courtyard recently really made him sigh and sigh.

Duan Xiaoyu is such a good-looking little girl, but she was tortured like this by her father's illness.

The horror of rectal cancer can be seen from this.

Hearing Lao Xu's words, many years glanced at the former in surprise, and then shook his head and said:

"Dad, I'll tell you later, you go back first, I'll go see Xiaoru."

Walking into the living room, many years shouted, and Qin Huairu's voice suddenly came from the kitchen.

The chicken had already been delivered to the front yard, and Qin Huairu was busy cleaning up the kitchen utensils.

"Let's go, come with me to the front yard."

"Okay, Brother Ah Nian wait for me, it'll be fine soon."

After a while, Qin Huairu walked out with a smile, and then went to Lao Xu's house in the front yard side by side with many years.

In the kitchen of the old Xu family in the east wing, the three children and Xu Wumei and their four children at this time were eating happily.

As their three uncles and aunts came in, the house became more lively.

Hu Meifeng and Fan Zhaodi both got up very enthusiastically and gave up their positions to the young couple for many years.

The reason why he is so attentive is that in addition to looking at the half of the chicken sent by Qin Huairu, it is most likely that he is thinking about whether he can lend them money for many years.

Who knows, many years after sitting down, I haven't spoken.

Lao Xu suddenly spoke, and poured a chill on Hu Meifeng and Fan Zhaodi.

"Let me say a word first, the eldest and the second one, if you want to buy a house, I support it, but you can't ask the third child to borrow money, the third child has no money on him, and he still owes the first uncle 500 yuan and has not repaid it."

Hiss!

The bustling room fell silent in an instant.

Except for the three little ones who were still nibbling on the chicken, Xu Wumei's eating movement was also much smaller, for fear of arguing everyone.

When Hu Meifeng and Fan Zhaodi heard this, they immediately knew that their wishful thinking was about to fail, and they were very unwilling.

But Lao Xu is the head of the family after all, although the family is separated now, but they still eat together, they must look at Lao Xu's face.

Even if the family is really separated, Lao Xu has spoken, how dare the eldest and second child ask the third child to borrow money?

Qin Huairu was slightly surprised, but she lowered her head and smiled, whispered to Xu Xiaoqian and the others, and did not participate in these big things.

She was confident that her brother would be able to handle these things.

Zhou Hongmei was also quite surprised, glanced at everyone, and continued to cook.

After many years of helplessness, he said to the old man:

"Dad, didn't I just say it, I'll tell you, why are you in such a hurry?"

The latter didn't say anything, but sat and continued to eat, and the movement was not small, in order to express his meaning.

What exactly it meant, many years too lazy to think, he continued:

"Dad, Mom, eldest brother and second brother, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, Xiaoru, Xiaomei, Xiaoqian, and Xiaoman and Xiaodong, you all listen to it, and what I say next, not a word is allowed to be revealed, do you hear?"

He had to confess to his family.

Outsiders repeatedly inquired about his salary, and he didn't know how long the secret could be hidden, but how long it could be hidden.

Otherwise, there must have been many people asking him to borrow money at that time.

As for saying that someone sees a lot of fish and meat in his house every day, will he be reported?

Fart!

Xu Damao, as well as the two families in Bang Haizhong, don't they also eat meat often?

Besides, if it is really reported, the street office and the police station have come to someone, can Director Wang and Cao Chenghui not know what their family background is for many years?

If they knew that they had been the first-class coarse grain for many years, Director Wang and the others would be surprised: Is this child hiding some secrets?

After all, the monthly salary of one hundred and three yuan is only two years younger than Qin Huairu, and it is no problem to eat meat every day.

A pound of pork costs three cents, a big rooster is only seven or eight cents, a dollar of meat a day, and a month down, it is only thirty yuan.

Therefore, whether to eat meat or not is not a big problem, the key is not to be too arrogant.

How much do you have to hide to eat meat?

It's like in the bangs, don't people secretly hide and eat.

It's Liu Guangtian's two brothers, they are old and pitiful, they have no meat to eat, and they have to be beaten.

When the family heard this, they immediately looked at many years in surprise, and their expressions were full of seriousness and curiosity:

What's the situation?

The latter paused, and continued:

"You promise first, don't reveal my next words, and I'll talk about it."

The more serious, the more mysterious.

Everyone's curiosity was completely aroused, and they quickly nodded in response.

Qin Huairu was more direct, got up and went to close the door and window.

This damn execution is so proactive and obedient.

After she sat back, many years later, she said:

"First of all, I apologize to everyone, I lied about my salary before."

"To be precise, I didn't clearly state the specific salary situation at the time, which is my wrong ......"

"However, I confess the same to everyone now......"

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Xiaoqian suddenly interrupted, "Third uncle, we forgive you, can you tell me what your salary is?" ”

"Yes, yes, third uncle, we are all in a hurry......"

After being interrupted for many years, I glared at the three little ones, but my eyes were full of love, how could I blame?

Hu Meifeng, Fan Zhaodi and others did not speak, but their eyes have been staring for many years.

"Don't be so surprised, my rank in the design institute is a ninth-level engineer, and my monthly salary is one hundred and three yuan, and I received a salary of ninety-two yuan last month, as well as a bonus of five yuan, a total of ninety-seven yuan."

Wow!

As soon as this number came out, everyone exclaimed.

The three little ones jumped up directly, with very exaggerated expressions.

But just when they wanted to continue to discover the surprise in their hearts, many years raised an index finger and put it in front of their mouths:

"Shhh, don't be so noisy, you don't listen to the third uncle's words, right?"

So the three little ones hurriedly covered their mouths, looked at the door with their little heads, and then looked at their third uncle.

The voice was lowered a lot:

"Third uncle, your salary is a lot, one hundred and three yuan, wow......"

"But why did you only have ninety-two dollars last month?"

"Stupid Xu Weidong, because the third uncle only joined the company at the beginning of last month, and he didn't do it for a full month, of course he didn't get all his salary......"

With the three little ones complaining, Zhou Hongmei also reacted:

"San'er, do you really have so much salary? Didn't lie to me? ”

That's an amazing salary!

The best of the quadrangle!

Liu Haizhong and Uncle Yi are both seventh-level workers, but even if they are eighth-level workers, the monthly salary is not as good as her third!

So, she was surprised.

I was so surprised that I couldn't believe it, and I had to ask a few more times.

In fact, her personality is like this, she is always not confident enough in her children and likes to be suspicious.

Lao Xu also sighed, but did not speak.

Hu Meifeng's mentality at this time was very explosive, compared with the third child, her man was directly crushed.

Is it the same parent's child?

Why is the gap so big?

Fan Zhaodi directly stretched out her hand and twisted it around her man's waist, giving her man a heavy blow.

At the same time, he looked at many years without changing his face, and said:

"Third uncle, is your unit still recruiting? Look at your second brother, can he do it? ”

Simple and crude!

It's very straightforward!

"Brother Anian, you are so powerful."

Qin Huairu's eyes also flashed, looking at him with love in his eyes, and he was almost full of water.

The latter spread his hands helplessly, took out a small note from his pocket and said:

"You have too many questions, I'll answer them one by one, here's my payslip."

"Second sister-in-law, you don't need me to say more about this, even if our unit recruits people, the second brother doesn't meet the regulations......"

"And you three little guys, don't make trouble, remember the words of the third uncle, and don't discuss the third uncle's salary outside. If someone asks, or when they want to discuss, they say that it is fifty or sixty dollars a month, do you hear it? ”

The three little ones nodded for the first time, and their little expressions were full of seriousness.

Fan Zhaodi came to Zhou Hongmei and read the contents of the note clearly, but she could only understand the numbers.

In this family, the majority of them are illiterate, only the two brothers and sisters of Many Years and Xu Wumei are not illiterate, and the others are either semi-literate or purely illiterate.

Qin Huairu still has a long way to go if he wants to get rid of the title of semi-literate.

"Xiaomei, you read it."

After reading it, Zhou Hongmei didn't understand it, so she asked Xu Wumei to help read it.

The latter took it, swept it, and was very surprised with big eyes, and then began to read it seriously:

"Salary slip, name of the unit, Design Institute of the Capital Urban Planning Administration, name for many years, fifth design room on the second floor of the department, position team leader, entry time......"

"The salary is two yuan!"

As she read, everyone listened in silence.

After reading it, the old Xu family continued to be silent.

The stamped pay slip is the most convincing, and no one questions it anymore.

So, the issue of wages for many years is over.

Seeing that everyone didn't squeak, he said for many years:

"So Dad, I can lend money to the eldest brother and second brother to buy a house, no interest, remember to pay me back when I have money in the future......"

He didn't ask for much, he just didn't want to be wronged by saying this.

He doesn't care about the eldest and second child not paying back the money.

Even he was ready not to ask them to pay back.

But the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant.

As the third brother, he can't personally train his eldest brother and second brother to be a 'cripple' who only knows how to reach out to him and ask for money, right?

You can't be too virgin, but you can't be too ruthless.

In fact, it is quite difficult to grasp that degree in many cases.

In the past, I was reluctant to help the eldest two brothers for many years, mainly because of the strong conflict between Lao Xu and Zhou Hongmei's economical and conservative thinking and his desire to eat meat and strengthen his body, and he had not yet split up.

If you lend out the money at that time, in case you get into a fight with the boss and them in the future, whether the money can be returned is still two different things.

And he's most afraid of these.

Therefore, the brothers settle the accounts.

It's perfectly fine to borrow money at this time.

Hearing his words, Lao Xu nodded silently, his eyes were very relieved and satisfied.

Brothers, friends, brothers, and brothers, the family is united and harmonious, this is Lao Xu's greatest pursuit in this life.

Hu Meifeng and Fan Zhaodi were immediately overjoyed, and they threw a bunch of good words to many years in a row.

The horse's ass slapped so loudly that even the three little ones pouted and frowned.

Especially the two sisters, Xu Xiaoqian and Xu Xiaoman, they know very well that their mother is lazy, usually too lazy to work, and too lazy to speak.

Not to mention letting her say nice things, and there are so many good things to say in one go.

Skilled sycophant skills, everyone only discovered the other side of sister-in-law Hu Meifeng at this time.

To this, many years of direct immunity.

He looked at the eldest and second and said:

"Big brother and second brother, I will lend you this money today, when the Sun family moves, you will move over quickly, and live a good life after the separation, and in the future, the food expenses of my parents and Xiaomei, our three brothers will give five yuan a month, how about it?"

Five yuan is not much, and the three brothers together are only fifteen yuan.

But don't forget, Lao Xu still has a salary, he is a second-class worker, and the sixth class salary in Beijing is thirty-eight yuan and six cents.

Counting the fifteen yuan given by the three brothers, it is enough for the daily expenses of the three of them, and there is even a lot left.

After all, Lao Xu and Zhou Hongmei are used to saving, and Xu Wumei will definitely go to her third brother's house often to eat, and she can also save a lot.

Xu Danian and Xu Shishi nodded excitedly, but before they could question the five yuan living expenses, Lao Xu frowned and said:

"I don't have to give us living expenses, I have a salary."

"In addition to the third child, it is not easy for the eldest and second of you, so let's live a good life first."

Five dollars is not much, but it is not a lot.

For the eldest and second brothers, it is indeed a lot of money.

The two brothers' wages were three yuan a month, and if they were reduced by five yuan a month, they would be left with twenty-eight yuan.

In this way, if you want to pay off the money you owe to buy a house, you don't know the Year of the Monkey.

The boss said, "Dad, that's not good, the money that should be given still has to be given, so let's do it, three yuan a month, and I'll add it later, what do you say?" ”

There was no problem for many years, and there was no difference between three and five dollars for him anyway.

As for the second child, what else can he do but nod?

Even if Fan Zhaodi twisted his waist beside him, he could only nod.

Don't want to give?

That's definitely not going to work.

Seeing this, Lao Xu said:

"Okay, I'll help you save this money, and if you want to use the money in the future, just tell me."

Then, we talked about bicycle tickets and sewing tickets.

Regarding the sewing ticket, Zhou Hongmei said that she also had a little money in her hand, so she got together and bought the sewing machine back.

When the time comes, the money in her hand for many years will be abundant, and she will be able to return it to her.

It's the first time for this old mother to be so generous, and she has taken the initiative to dye and buy things for many years.

After all, Zhou Hongmei is very economical, and when she goes to the vegetable market, she has to talk to people for a long time, either cutting the price of a few cents, or adding some side dishes such as green onion and ginger.

Many years hurriedly said:

"Mom, I still have money in my hand, so it's no problem to buy a sewing machine."

As one of the four major pieces of marriage with three turns and one ring, the brands of sewing machines are all famous brands such as Shanghai Standard, Bee, and Flying Man, and the price is about 150 yuan.

As soon as the voice turned, many years looked at Lao Xu again:

"Dad, I still have a bicycle ticket in my hand, use it for you, I'll pay 100 yuan here, and you will pay 50 yuan over there to buy the bicycle back."

When the latter heard this, he directly and seriously interrupted:

"What do I want a bicycle for? It's not that I said you, you know how to spend money indiscriminately, I just told you, save the money."

"No, Dad, it's a little more convenient to have a bicycle, like my mother often has to buy some coarse grains, and it's very heavy to carry it, and you can not reduce your mother's burden when you carry it back from the vegetable market?"

Zhou Hongmei was very heartwarming when she said this, but she defended against her will, "I don't need it, I'm used to it, and the coarse grain is not sinking, and it's only thirty or forty catties every time."

The eldest and second are persuading Lao Xu to buy it!

If Lao Xu has a bicycle, they can also borrow it to ride, especially when they go to visit relatives, which is very good.

After hearing the rumors for many years, I didn't bother to continue to persuade anymore, so I directly took out the bicycle ticket and ten big black pickups and put them in Lao Xu's hand:

"I'll give you the ticket and the money, buy it or not, you can do whatever you want, but I still hope that you can buy a bicycle, if you have a car, it will really be much more convenient."

Hu Meifeng and Fan Zhaodi were both short of breath looking at the money and tickets in Lao Xu's hands, and the visual impact was very great.

This third child is really rich!

Just now I lent the eldest and the second two two hundred yuan each, and now I have taken out another hundred yuan, how can I be so rich?

The others are similar, tonight, all of them have been thrown out of place for many years with words and money.

Thinking that many years ago, I just said that I had money to buy a sewing machine, and everyone was very busy again.

At this point, this impromptu family meeting is finally over.

After chatting with everyone for a while, he got up after many years and took Qin Huairu home to take a bath and sleep.

As soon as the two of them left, the three little ones muttered to their sister-in-law: The third uncle is so rich.

When Lao Xu heard this, he glared, "He has a fart of money, so he knows that he is poor and generous, and I estimate that he has more than one hundred and fifty yuan left in his hand."

There is still a sentence in my heart, otherwise, with the poor and generous character of the third child, he would definitely not have given him a hundred yuan just now, but one hundred and fifty yuan.

Zhou Hongmei also hurriedly told the three little ones and Xu Wumei, "You all remember, you can't talk about your third uncle's salary outside, have you heard?" ”

The three little ones nodded hurriedly, and then, it was their parents' turn to tell them separately.

After a round, a deep impression has been engraved in their little hearts: the salary of the third uncle cannot be said!

Just when the old Xu family was chatting happily, the Yan family at the door, Yan Jiecheng smelled the aroma of chicken wafting from the old Xu family opposite, and his stomach growled uncontrollably.
