I had a meal with Chen Jiang and Tang Tang at noon, Tang Tang had to go back to work in the afternoon, and when Tang Tang left, Bai Lu asked Chen Jiang: "Brother Chen, aren't you in a hurry to go home?" Looking for a place to sit? ”

"Okay." Chen Jiang's mood is not very high, after all, he has just bought a house and is now unemployed, which is not a small blow to a middle-aged man.

"Let's go, it's such a cold day, let's take a bath." White Road. "There's a new bathhouse on Zhannan Road, so let's try it."

Driving to Zhannan Road, this newly opened bathhouse is called Xingshuihui, which is not an ordinary bathhouse, but a high-end bathhouse integrating bathing, massage, buffet and entertainment.

For a northerner, you can skip the meal, but you have to take a bath, especially in winter, jump into the hot water pool at 40 degrees, don't want to be comfortable, wait until the soak is done, and then go to take a bath. In terms of Bai Lu's many years of bathing experience, the best way to rub the bath is to rub it directly, the pores of the rubbing are all opened, and the whole body is red like a crab that has just come out of the pot.

Don't rush to flush after taking a bath, then go to the sauna to steam for ten minutes, and then flush again after steaming, and the whole body is comfortable.

You think that's the end of it? That's where it is.

After washing, go and change into a pair of pajamas, and the following is the link of "two VIPs on the second floor".

Two technicians were called on the second floor, but it was not that Bai Lu had to ask for a female technician, but he was mainly a man, and it would be very awkward to let the other man pinch around on his body, and goosebumps would end from the beginning.

One set down for an hour, full of oily and shiny and then go to the bottom for a rush, this whole set down, the cafeteria will be open.

"Brother Chen, what are your plans next? Go back to setting up a stall? "Bai Lu ate a piece called flower chicken." This is called flower chicken, I don't know if their chef made it himself or bought it outside, wait and ask. ”

"I'm just saying, the stall is unstable, and you still have to find a job." Chen Jiang sighed. "At my age, it's not easy to find a job, especially in the design industry, not to mention ability, in terms of vision, it's not as good as today's young people, and that's the ...... What's that word called? Brain holes, yes, even brain holes, are not as good as young people...... Hey, impulsive. ”

"Isn't it popular self-media now?" Bai Lu suggested that. "Why don't you just set up a stall at night and record videos at home during the day."

"You're talking about those short videos, right?" Chen Jiang shook his head with a wry smile. "What can I record? Do you want to teach others how to design? ”

"Why can't you record it?" White Road. "What kind of design do you teach, you teach people to use PS, you go outside to learn this, why don't you get three or five thousand? You come directly to a free teaching, anyway, it's not by teaching this to make money, as long as the traffic comes up, the money will be earned, and when you sell fried skewers at night, you can also record it, and the name is 'Designer who sells fried skewers', isn't this a sense of professional conflict? ”

"And." Bai Lu slapped his thigh. "Then go and open an online store, an art point, and pick up some work on the Internet during the day, just your technology, make an advertisement, flyer, and give people P photos, that's not trivial."

"That's doable." Chen Jiang still agrees with the suggestion of opening an online store, some of his friends do this, it is said that tens of thousands of yuan a month, and 100,000 yuan in good times, I don't know if it's true or not, but the store has been open for many years, and the stall can at least prove that it still makes money.

As for what Bai Lu said about doing self-media, Chen Jiang thinks that he can also try to do it, this doesn't take much time, it's naturally good to be able to do it, it's okay if he can't do it, and this is not the main business.

"Shall we go?" After eating, Chen Jiang looked at the time, it was almost seven o'clock, and he could still go out of the stall when he went back.

The two changed their clothes, Bai Lu rushed to settle the account, and sent Chen Jiang home, and then went home.

……

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Xiao Nian, Qiao Xiaoqiao's gym opened on this day, and a lot of fitness cards were pre-sold in the early stage, because of the new opening, coupled with the good environment, the price was cheap, and the fitness cards sold a lot, with a gross profit of more than 500,000 yuan, for the gym that invested almost four million, this profit has been regarded as a bumper harvest.

On the opening day, Bai Lu also made a cameo, and actually sold a lot of cards, most of them were women, and they were all aunts in their forties and fifties, Bai Lu wondered when he was so popular with middle-aged women, until an aunt had to add him as a friend and introduce him to a girlfriend, and then he understood what was going on.

"Don't forget the day after tomorrow." At nine o'clock in the evening, the gym was closed, and Bai Lu reminded Qiao Xiaoqiao, who was settling accounts with the computer. "I've already booked the hotel."

"How can you forget something so important?" Qiao Xiaoqiao looked up, a little nervous. "Shall I bring something with me?"

"Are you tired and stupid?" Bai Lu pinched Qiao Xiaoqiao's face, looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao and pursed his lips, and said with a smile: "This is an engagement, what kind of gift do you bring?" ”

"Don't pinch me, it hurts." Qiao Xiaoqiao opened Bai Lu's hand coquettishly. "I'm just a little nervous, after all, it's the first time I've met your dad."

"Don't worry, my dad doesn't eat people." Bai Lu looked at the computer. "Are you done? Let's leave as soon as you're done, it's been a tiring day. ”

"It's done." Qiao Xiaoqiao checked again, archived, and turned off the computer.

"Hey, I suddenly feel so happy." Qiao Xiaoqiao stretched out on the co-pilot, turned sideways and looked at Bai Lu with a smile: "You say, are you the lucky star sent down to me by God?" ”

"Yo, did you wipe honey on your mouth today?" Bai Lu heyed. "It's not like you can say it."

"Hate, don't interrupt." Qiao Xiaoqiao said angrily. "Seriously, I never thought I'd have a day like this. You see, I'm just a sports student, someone else just walked out of school at the age of 22, and his career has just begun. By the time I was twenty-two years old, my career was over. ”

Bai Lu understood very well that Qiao Xiaoqiao would be so emotional, after all, this gym had broken her nerves tightly, and when she saw the income when she opened today, her heart could be regarded as back in her stomach.

"Muha!" Qiao Xiaoqiao downstairs, when he got out of the car, Qiao Xiaoqiao happily gave Bai Lu a mo-da, he couldn't see the tiredness of a busy day, and almost jumped upstairs.

……

February 7th, the twenty-fifth of the lunar month, is a cloudless good weather, it seems that God also knows that the New Year is coming, and even the temperature has warmed up, the taste of the New Year on the street is getting more and more, and the crowds in vegetable markets, supermarkets, shopping malls and other shopping places are wave after wave.

"Dad, you came back last night?" After Bai Lu finished swimming in the morning, he saw his father Bai Shengjun sitting in the living room looking at his mobile phone.

Bai Shengjun is in his early fifties, and his figure is indeed not like some people who get fat at this age, but he is relatively thin, his hair is very dark and thick, and there is no sign of a premature hairline.

"My son is engaged, can I not come back." Bai Shengjun put down his mobile phone and beckoned to Bai Lu: "Come, son, sit." ”

Bai Lu sat on the sofa in the past, Bai Shengjun looked Bai Lu up and down a few times, and said happily: "Your mother told me on the phone that you have changed a lot, I still don't believe it, now that I look at it, it's really, hey, your muscles have been trained?" ”

"No, I've been exercising." Bai Lu patted his abdominal muscles and asked. "Dad, are you going to go abroad after the New Year?"

"Isn't it?" Bai Shengjun said. "It's busier over there now, I'm not going to sit in town, I'm afraid it's a mess, it's only a year at most, and I'll be relaxed when it stabilizes over there."

"You don't blame me, do you?" Bai Lu suddenly asked.

"Huh? What do you blame? Bai Shengjun looked at Bai Lu puzzled.

"Don't blame me for not going to the company to help you."

"That's what I said." Bai Shengjun laughed. "If you want to go, then Dad would be happy to see it, after all, it is our own business, and it will be your brothers and sisters in the future, and it is better to be comfortable to suffer outside than to come to the house, isn't it? If you don't want to go, then Dad agrees, you young people have young people's ideas, and it's good to break into it yourself. In fact, Dad's greatest wish is to watch your brothers and sisters grow up healthy, get married, have children, whether there are achievements or not, or how much achievement I don't care, anyway, I don't have achievements, haha. ”

Gotcha, old Versailles.

However, Bai Lu is really admired, starting a business in his early twenties, from a small stall, it took less than 30 years to become the world's top five multinational groups, whether in terms of vision, courage or precision in grasping opportunities, among the billions of people in the world, it is not nothing, but there are very few.

"So, even if the three of you just eat, drink and have fun every day, I don't think you are useless." Bai Shengjun said. "You can live in peace, which is the greatest wish of me and your mother."

Listen, with such a parent, what's the point of not lying flat?

After chatting with Bai Shengjun for a while, Bai Lu was about to go back to the house, when he heard Bai Shengjun say: "By the way, we won't be at home for the Chinese New Year this year, go back to our hometown." ”

"Back home?" Bai Lu was stunned. "Baijiagou's hometown?"

"Where else could it be?"

"Why do you suddenly remember to go back to your hometown?"

"Go burn paper for your grandparents." Bai Shengjun said. "I dreamed of your grandparents a few days ago, and I happened to go back to burn paper, and I haven't seen your aunt for a long time."

"Then go back." Bai Lu doesn't care, where to spend the New Year, and there is an advantage when you go back to your hometown, that is, you can set off fireworks, and now the city is no longer allowed to set off fireworks, which is a lot less fun.

The time soon came to night, Bai Lu drove Bai Shengjun and Liu Jinnian, and the closer he got to the hotel, Bai Lu also began to be a little nervous, or excited. has lived two lives, although I have also had a girlfriend, but it is the first time I have been engaged, and I usually have a big heart, but I can move the real character, and these emotions will inevitably appear.

……

I have known Qiao Xiaoqiao for more than half a year, and Bai Lu still knows the name of Qiao's father and Qiao's mother for the first time, Qiao's father's name is Qiao Guoqing, a very festive name, Qiao's mother's name is Li Huizhen.

Not only Bai Lu and Qiao Xiaoqiao are "nervous", but the parents of the two families are also a little "nervous", after all, it is the first time.

"Brother Bai, have I seen you anywhere?" Bai Shengjun is older than Qiao Guoqing, and Qiao Guoqing is simply called brother.

"On TV, right?" Bai Shengjun said with a smile.

"Possibly." Qiao Guoqing couldn't think of it, but the two of them were also very close to each other.

After eating, the two families drank tea and started the meal.

"Old Joe, I'll say it straight if I have something to say." Bai Shengjun drank a little wine, slightly drunk. "Bai Lu also told me before, I'm afraid you will think too much, but as far as our family is concerned, there is no view of the door, what is the right door, that's all nonsense, what is marriage? Marriage is the continuation of life, and it is also the formation of a new family by two young people, which has nothing to do with the fact that the family has more money and less money, no matter how much money there is, it cannot buy happiness. All we can do is two families to help a new family and give them some guidance on marriage, and that's all, right? ”

"Brother Bai, you're right." Qiao Guoqing also drank a little too much, and hooked up with Bai Shengjun. "At the beginning, I knew that your family had money, and the gap between the rich and the poor was a bit big, so I was quite worried, but let's get in touch with Bai Lu, Bai Lu, this child is a good child, brother, you have a good education."

"Haha, no, no, how can I have time to educate." Bai Shengjun laughed and waved his hand. "But Lao Qiao, your daughter is a good girl, how can a young girl do housework now, look at your daughter, laundry and cooking, I heard my daughter-in-law say that she can knit sweaters, tsk, what a good girl...... The one in my house is not good, in addition to work, I will work, ten fingers do not touch the spring water, the best thing is to boil water. ”

The two middle-aged men blew each other's business, and the two women were also chatting happily on the side, Bai Lu and Qiao Xiaoqiao looked at each other and found that the two of them seemed to be a little redundant, if the two of them went out quietly at this time, they shouldn't be discovered, right?

"Come, Brother Qiao, let's have another drink, and the children's affairs are settled?" Bai Shengjun raised his glass.

"It's set!" Qiao Guoqing clinked glasses with Bai Shengjun, drank them all in one gulp, and said. "Let's just meet the two families to settle the matter of the two children, when will they get married, I will listen to the thoughts of the two children when I think about it, how about it?"

Then the two parents looked at the two young people together, and Bai Lu blinked: "This is it...... I think next year. ”

"Okay, next year will be fine." Bai Shengjun nodded.

"There's another thing." Bai Lu scratched his head, still a little embarrassed: "What about the two of us, haha, right, what is that...... Ready to go out and live. ”

In a word, the sudden quiet needle drop in the box could be heard, and Qiao Xiaoqiao also lowered his head and didn't speak like an ostrich, Bai Lu was very embarrassed.

"What's that......" Bai Lu grinned. If not, forget it? ”

"You kid......" Li Huizhen couldn't laugh at the book. Your uncle and I are not feudal people, okay, my aunt agreed, and it feels good for young people to find a marriage and live in advance. ”

……

After a meal, Qiao Xiaoqiao's identity changed from girlfriend to fiancée.

As for the bride price, these two families have not discussed, now it is just two families meeting, and there will still be an engagement banquet before the wedding, and it is not too late to wait for the engagement banquet.

"Why don't we get the certificate first?" Bai Lu took Qiao Xiaoqiao's hand and pressed the road on the second and fifth days of the lunar month, although it was cold, it was almost the New Year, and there were many people on the street.

"Are you sure?" Qiao Xiaoqiao squeezed Bai Lu's hand. "If you get the certificate, you can't get rid of it easily, and if you dare to be sorry for me in the future, your head will be screwed off for you."

"How can I be sorry for you with such a traditional man?"

"Traditionally, men have three wives and four concubines." Qiao Xiaoqiao snorted. "What's the matter, you're a traditional man, huh?"

"Ah......" Bai Lu smacked his lips. So should I be traditional, or should I not be traditional? ”

"Hmph, you think for yourself."

"It doesn't matter." Bai Lu laughed. "The important thing is to get a license, we can be considered licensed to drive, right?"

"Don't have a face!"

……

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Bai Lu is going to go shopping to buy new clothes, don't care how many clothes there are at home, anyway, if you don't buy new clothes during the New Year, Bai Lu will feel uncomfortable.

Looking at the shopping mall full of either parents with children, or two people, or groups of young people, Bai Lu felt very lonely.

took out his mobile phone and looked at the phone book, Qiao Xiaoqiao didn't have time, Zhang Xiao didn't have time, Brother Chen sent a circle of friends, took the children to buy outside, and the few friends had something to do, and now, Bai Lu missed White a little.

Although the thing was a little out of his mind, at least he was as idle as he was.

There are a lot of people in the mall, it seems that there are still some activities, the hall has a stage, there are many people around the stage, and there are various anchors holding mobile phones in the live broadcast.

was turning aimlessly, and a person appeared next to him, and a microphone was stuffed into his mouth.

This is a girl in her twenties, holding a mobile phone in one hand for live broadcasting, and a microphone in the other hand for random interviews.

Bai Lu has watched this kind of street interview on a short video, and the questions are all kinds of weird, and even some of the questions are very ruined, such as the interviews are all women, and they ask how much money a man earns a month to support you. Of course, the answer is also that the three views are ruined, and many people say that it will cost tens of thousands......

Therefore, Bai Lu was very curious about what this female anchor was going to ask him.

"Hello, I'm the anchor Tong Yan, we are randomly interviewing passers-by, can I ask you a few questions?"

Bai Lu's eyes swept down, he wore a lot in winter, and he couldn't see how childish he was.

"What are you asking?"

Tong Yan handed the microphone to a male assistant next to him, and took out a question card from his pocket: "Little brother, what do you do?" ”

"Freelancing." Bai Lu thought about it and felt that this answer was more in line with his situation, although he had a company, he didn't go to work, and he was indeed very free.

"Okay, that little brother, you must not, if you get married, does a man need to have a car and a house?"

Bai Lu looked at Tong Yan, the question asked by this anchor is very sharp, if you say you need it, you will offend men, and if you say you don't need it, you will offend women. She got the effect of the show she wanted, and it was Bai Lu who offended people.

"It depends on the situation of both men and women." Bai Lu is such a chicken thief, how can he let this question be trapped. "If the conditions are good, it is normal to buy a house and a car, and if the conditions are not good, then wait until later."

This answer was not the answer that Tong Yan wanted, and she didn't ask anymore, just smiled and continued to ask, "What about you?" Are you married? ”

"Engaged."

"Oh." Tong Yan smiled even happier. "Did your girlfriend ask you to buy a house and a car?"

You see, this question is another trap, if you want to say that you don't ask for it, then someone must come out and say why, no house and no car to follow you to live a hard life? Women can not ask for it, but men can't be unmotivated and so on.

If you want to say that you want to ask for it, then there will be another wave of people who will come out and say it, such as husband and wife should work together, let's do it, and so on.

There are questions to be asked, and the answers to the answers can also be controversial, in short, the effect of the program is what you want.

"I have a house and a car." Bai Lu shrugged, but he didn't answer the question head-on.

Tong Yan saw that the two questions didn't get the effect she wanted, and she was a little unhappy: "Can you ask what kind of car you drive?" Is it domestic or imported? ”

Bai Lu reached into his trouser pocket and took out the car keys of the Rolls-Royce: "I'll drive this." ”

Isn't it a coincidence that you said that the last time I attended a wedding, I drove this car once, and found that this car drove quite well, and after gradually losing interest in the A8, I drove this Cullinan when I went out today. This is also due to the fact that the Cullinan is an SUV, and if it is a more business model, the white land will not drive, and it does not drive like a car owner, like a driver.

Seeing the Rolls-Royce car key, Tong Yan and the assistant were stunned, and looked at the barrage of the live broadcast, which was full of schadenfreude.

"Tong Tong kicked the iron plate, and people worked hard."

"Damn, this is a rich second generation, right? I know the car keys, Cullinan's. ”

"Tong Tong quickly add his friend, he has a car and a house!"

Seriously, Tong Yan really has an idea about this barrage of friends, after all, he is so young and quite handsome, although he is not wearing a big brand, but the car key is real, not a lighter or a small pendant.

It's just that Bai Lu didn't give her a chance to add friends, seeing that she was silent, she turned around and left directly, and when Tong Yan came back to her senses, how could there be Bai Lu's figure.

After wandering around for more than an hour, Bai Lu bought a set of clothes from the inside out, spending more than five thousand in total. It's not that Bai Lu doesn't like big names, it's just that he thinks it's all clothes, what is it not to wear? If you have to evaluate a person based on what they wear, it is too inferior, and there are no international brands sold in this mall, if you want to buy a big brand, you have to go somewhere else, and after driving for more than half an hour, Bai Lu is too lazy to run.

After buying clothes, Bai Lu ran to the e-sports hotel, and he was idle when he went home, and the others were not available, if the last one was empty, it was probably the eldest sister Baiyang, seeing that it was almost noon, and he could still go to the eldest sister for a meal.

When he arrived at the hotel, Bai Yang was sitting at the front desk playing with his mobile phone, and when he saw Bai Lu coming, he just glanced up, and then looked down at his mobile phone.

"Sister, what do you mean? Do you welcome me? Bai Lu began to find fault.

"I'm not welcoming you, so you're not coming?" Poplar replied slowly, and his eyes never left the phone.

"What are you seeing? If you look at it so seriously, can your phone look better than your brother? Bai Lu leaned his head over to look at it, and was pushed away by Bai Yang.

Just as he was about to say something, a guest came, and as soon as he saw the person, Bai Lu was happy, it was really a coincidence that he came early, and he also met an acquaintance.

[I've been lazy lately, and I'm even lazy to score a chapter, so I'll go straight to the big chapter.] And then...... Ask for Collection!! 】
