Zhentian coffin

The New Year is approaching, and Liu Laodao and I are also planning to go home, because we are going to celebrate the New Year in Qinghe Town, so we can't just walk around on New Year's Eve like before, and we have to go back early.

Now that the stall is getting bigger, we have to arrange things in advance. The business of the massage parlor is good during the Chinese New Year. We want to take a break, but those masseurs don’t want to.

We had no choice but to help them, and asked a family member of one of the masseurs to come to the store to help and entertain guests. The wages were collected from the profits, and we also gave red envelopes to the masseurs for the Chinese New Year.

Then I calculated the profits of the past few months and sent them to several shareholders. Of course, they don't have much money, so they don't care about it, but the rules are the rules, which is necessary. By the way, contact the relationship , don't give up.

Tang Chuan also sent my share of dividends this year. After two years of hard work, Tang Chuan finally paid off his debts, and became mature and stable, with an excellent development trend.

We went back together with Gu Xiaomi, and in the blink of an eye, Gu Xiaomi was already a third-year student, and it was time for the college entrance examination next year.

Gu Xiaomi's development is extremely stable. Needless to say, his academic performance is among the best even in top high schools. Although he is not yet ranked first, the famous academic master is stable, and his grades have always been hovering in the upper reaches. According to their The school's performance in previous years, a key university is useless, and if you work hard, you may be able to break into the top five universities.

In addition, Gu Xiaomi is still a top talent in the mortician industry at this time, and the name of the mortician has spread all over the country, and it is not limited to Yangcheng. People from far away often come to invite Gu Xiaomi to do things. , I often travel on weekends or something.

It is precisely because of this that Gu Xiaomi has become more and more calm, her knowledge has been continuously expanded, her personality has been precipitated, and her body sewing skills have become more proficient. At the same time, her practice has not fallen behind. It's a little bit better.

To have such a result, of course it took a lot of thought. Gu Xiaomi can be said to be the most motivated student in their school. She is busy every day and never wastes any time.

The workplace has been buzzing about [-], and Gu Xiaomi is on [-] every day, from [-]:[-] today to [-]:[-] the next day, seven days a week, all year round, so hard-working, sometimes At that time, even her parents couldn't stand it anymore, they were too hardworking, and they were afraid that she would be exhausted.

But Gu Xiaomi has never been moved, and still does her own way. She has her own life plan, knows what she lacks and needs, and her youth is her greatest capital. If she does not strengthen her primitive accumulation at this time, she will only suffer in the future.

"Brother Jin Yang, this is my gift to you, thank you for your help all these years"

On the train, Gu Xiaomi handed over a box. I opened it and saw that it was a watch, and it looked like a famous brand.

"Aren't you short of money?"

"There is no shortage, eat with craftsmanship, with craftsmanship, you won't be hungry"

"That's good, but don't spend money in the future, I don't like these"

I accepted the gift, but told her not to give it away in the future. I also don't like wearing these things. It's inconvenient when fighting. Unlike others, I have a lot of strings on my body.

"Girl, I'm only thinking about your brother, what about me?"

"Grandpa Liu, you also have a gift"

Liu Laodao teased, unexpectedly, Gu Xiaomi also prepared a gift, which was a rosewood bracelet, which was quite a high-quality product and was in good condition.

"Just kidding, just kidding"

"Grandpa Liu, we will always remember your kindness to the Gu family, this..."

Liu Laodao shied away for a while, Gu Xiaomi naturally refused to take it back, this time she not only prepared gifts for us, but also a whole box of gifts from the Gu family. At that time, it was a great help, thank you very much.

Seeing Gu Xiaomi like this, Liu Laodao didn't shirk anymore. It's admirable for young people to have such a heart. Over the years, I have seen too many cold-hearted people who take other people's kindness for granted.

This kind of selfishness is not just one or two people, but it has become a trend. The simplest thing is red envelopes for Chinese New Year. This place in Qinghe Town is unavoidable. Basically, children are given red envelopes for Chinese New Year. As long as they don’t go to work, will give.

In the past, children would hand over the New Year red envelopes to adults, but for some reason in recent years, children regard this kind of New Year red envelopes as their own, and they have to keep them and spend them by themselves as a matter of course.

But those children don't think about it either. If you accept the red envelope, don't the family members just get in and out, and don't give it to others? In fact, this is a kind of reciprocity between adults, and it should become a kind of tacit understanding.

But people nowadays don't think so much, they only stare at the little money they have handled, and there are even news about their children suing their parents for confiscating red envelopes. It is really eye-opening, such a refined egoist , unheard of.

Therefore, Gu Xiaomi's current performance is naturally gratifying. Liu Laodao also admires Gu Xiaomi, taking care of her a lot along the way, and even personally answering her spiritual questions.

After returning to Qinghe Town, we spent another day cleaning. We haven’t been back for two years. There is a lot of dust inside, and some furniture is aging and worn out, so we have to add furniture.

"Old man, our house is really made to raise mosquitoes, hey"

"Why, do you think it was a waste of money?"

"That's not true. It's a custom in Qinghe Town that no matter how much money you earn outside, you still have to have a house at home. This is called falling leaves returning to their roots. In addition, the more luxurious the house at home, the better you are doing outside. Everyone loves you." Take a high look at you and tell me I’m right.”

"It's rare for you to show such vanity. I thought you really lost all six elements."

"Hey, ordinary people, ordinary people, laugh at you"

"Get out, stop talking nonsense with me, and share the gifts you bought"

"okay"

I got up and searched for presents. This is a custom. Every time I come back for the New Year, I have to bring some gifts, and they are much more expensive than before. I used to bring some clothes and so on. However, Qinghe Town has developed rapidly in recent years. Hurry up, I won't be able to take out ordinary clothes. All I brought with me this time are some cigarettes and alcohol.

Tobacco and alcohol are very good things. They are popular consumables, and there are cheap and expensive ones. It is very casual. I still disperse from family to family.

"Old man, it's so rare that the annual regular program is gone this year, and the neighbor hasn't cursed?"

"Didn't you see a BMW parked at the gate of the yard? I don't care about your stuff. I guess I'm getting rich."

"That's not right. I've seen those guys next door a long time ago, but they don't have the fortune to make a fortune. Could it be a windfall? No, I have to go and have a look."

I couldn't sit still anymore, I'm just a small-minded person, how did those guys treat me, it's fine if I didn't return it, treating them coldly is enough to save face.

I went out for a walk, and soon got in touch with the people next door. Speaking of which, the grievances and grievances between me and them belonged to the previous generation, and the younger generation didn’t have much grievances. After chatting a few words, I already knew I figured it out.

"Why, have you figured it out?"

"I touched it, and it turned out to be exactly as I expected. It won't last long to make a fortune from cheating the door."

"Aren't you going to persuade me a few words?"

"It's hard for the king of hell to persuade the ghosts of Zhao's death. Don't they know what their own virtues are? Besides, after eating this bowl of rice, they have to bear the consequences."

I sneered and said, the guy next door only graduated from junior high school, he has been out for more than ten years and has not made a good appearance. In the past two years, he has suddenly made a fortune. What a way, I found a side business.

This kind of thing is very prevalent in rural areas, not just a local problem, especially the current social atmosphere is all about money, the standard of success is how much money you earn, and most people from rural areas, in terms of knowledge, Vision, ability, and temperament are worse than those in the city, so under the pressure of life, many people will choose to take risks.

Persuasion is useless for this kind of risk-taking people, because they have already tasted the sweetness of making quick money and felt the joy that money brings to others, and they will never do that kind of exhausting work again. With 5000 yuan, I lived a month.

"I know, isn't this your home?"

"No, this village is full of people with the surname Liu, and they are all from my own family. Is it possible that I have to be responsible?"

"Hey, forget it, I'm too lazy to persuade you, just have a clear conscience"

"Of course I have a clear conscience"

I curled my lips, and didn't talk about this topic, but I went out for a walk again, and found that there were quite a few people who went astray, and they seemed to have some connection with the person next door to me, presumably all the way.

This is also normal, after all, it is illegal, and only people who know the basics of the same ethnic group can be trusted. After careful understanding, I found a dumbfounding result, that is, the reason why they took this road has something to do with me.

It turns out that I made a lot of money within a few years of going out, and built a house at home, and I am naturally no better than them in their eyes, and I have no money or power, and I haven’t graduated from junior high school. I can do it, why can’t they? .

But they have been tossing around outside for a few years. After knowing that money is not so easy to earn, they think that I am not on the right path. Otherwise, how can I make money so easily? I can do it, and they can do it anyway. way.

After hearing the news, I didn't know what to say, so I had no choice but to keep silent and ignore everything, as if I didn't know.

After celebrating the New Year in Qinghe Town in a hurry, we left. After visiting the old lady Gu in Xuangu Town, we came to Doutian Palace again and met Daoheng.

However, this time Dao Heng was quite unlucky. He fell ill. It is said that he had been frozen in a certain mountain for several days. After returning, he had a high fever and his condition was serious.
