I have ten trillion licking dog gold

Chapter 1518 Luck

"Brother Fang, here you go."

While the soup was cooking, Jiang Huazi took the time out to entertain the guests and gave Fang Weiguo a pack of 1916 cigarettes that cost one hundred yuan a pack.

"What's this for? I haven't smoked in years."

Fang Weiguo immediately declined.

"It's a courtesy."

Jiang Huazi forced it in, "If Brother Fang doesn't want to smoke, you can give it to someone else."

"Just accept it."

Pan Hui smiled.

Fang Weiguo then put the cigarette in his pocket.

"Xiaochen, auntie won't give it to you."

"It would be a waste to give it to me."

Jiang Huazi joked, "You guys really don't contribute to the country's military budget. You don't even smoke. Where do you get the money to build an aircraft carrier?"

"After Huazi became the boss, his awareness became higher and higher." Fang Weiguo joked.

"Brother Fang is making fun of me again. I am not a boss at all. I am just working for the landlord. Business is getting harder and harder these days."

"Are all your convenience stores affected?" Pan Hui asked.

"Of course. The overall environment is bad, and it affects everything. Take cigarettes for example. People used to smoke 1916, but now they smoke soft cigarettes to save money. People used to smoke soft cigarettes, but now they smoke Xia Gu Rou Qing. How can we not be affected?"

"Your analogy is not appropriate. For your store, expensive cigarettes do not necessarily make more profit than cheap ones. The key lies in the market popularity of this cigarette."

"Brother Fang still knows his stuff."

Jiang Huazi smiled, "Let's not talk about cigarettes. The most important thing is alcohol. We dealers only make a little hard-earned money from selling cigarettes, but when the economy is bad, our alcohol can't sell well. And recently there was a ban on alcohol, which is simply adding insult to injury. Oh, let's not talk about it..."

"The country has its own considerations. Civil servants cannot drink alcohol, which can eliminate corruption to a certain extent and change the atmosphere within the system. For ordinary people like us, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages overall."

Jiang Huazi nodded, "That's right. What can we ordinary people do? We must support the country's policies."

"Where's Hong Ou?"

Fang Weiguo asked.

"Just guard the store. I'll call him and ask him to come up when the meal is ready."

"If conditions permit, you should hire someone. It will be much easier. Convenience store work may seem easy, but in fact it is open all year round. Now that Xiaoyu has graduated, you two should think about reducing your burden." Pan Hui said.

"Yes, Mom, you and Dad don't have to work so hard. It won't cost much to hire someone to help look after the store."

"You kid."

Jiang Huazi smiled at her son and said, "Even if you can't spend much money, you should at least pay them 3,000 yuan a month, right? Do you think it's easy to earn 3,000 yuan? You will have to get married, buy a house, and get a betrothal gift in the future, all of which cost money."

Fang Weiguo and his wife shook their heads and smiled.

As parents, they can fully understand Jiang Huazi's feelings. No matter how ordinary her feelings are, parents will do their best to create the best conditions for their children within their ability.

This is also why they have never blamed their aunt Jiang Huazi.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang passed away one after another. As her younger sister, she was busy running around and also took out money to help Jiang Chen, the child. Although the amount was not much, she also had to pay the mortgage, the rent of the store, and her own son, so she couldn't ask for too much.

A nephew is definitely not as good as a son. This is human nature and there is nothing wrong with it.

Hong Xiaoyu hesitated to speak, as if he really wanted to say something, but held back.

But it doesn't matter. Jiang Chen helped him to say it, "Aunt, Xiaoyu has grown up. He can solve the problems you mentioned, such as the betrothal gift and the house, by himself, right?"

Facing his cousin's gaze, the naturally reserved Hong Xiaoyu nodded quickly, "Yes! Mom, I don't need your money."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. If my cousin can do it, so can I!"

Jiang Huazi's tone froze, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She glanced at her nephew and said, "How can you compare with your brother..."

"Hua Zi, you can't say that. Isn't Xiaoyu doing an internship at Jinhai Industrial now? That's a big and famous company. This kid will definitely have a bright future."

Hearing this, Jiang Huazi couldn't help but reveal a look of pride on her face. If she were in front of others, she would definitely show off. Her son is so outstanding, so why can't a parent show off?

But look at what kind of children are visiting our house today.

I won’t talk about my nephew.

To use a popular saying on the Internet, it was a disastrous start, but in the end it was able to defeat the curse of fate and create incredible achievements. In the eyes of her, its aunt, it was a miracle that could not be replicated.

And what about the quiet girl Fang sitting next to her?

ho.

Although it is not so mythical, it is also the pinnacle of realism.

Excellent, like rich, is a comparative.

How could she brag about Xiaoyu in front of these two children? She couldn't even open her mouth.

"Aunt Jiang, I don't think you need to worry about Xiaoyu. The housing prices have fallen so much now, and they won't rise again in the future. Besides, the down payment and mortgage interest rates have been falling again and again, so buying a house shouldn't be a big problem. As for the betrothal gift... maybe the girl doesn't want it?"

Fang Qing also interrupted, and her objective and humorous words immediately made everyone laugh.

Jiang Chen was no exception and couldn't help laughing. As a result, he accidentally saw Xiaoyu secretly glancing at him with a smile, and he immediately glared back at him.

"Haha, if that's the case, then I'll be thankful to God. But Qingqing, you're also a girl, will you not want a betrothal gift?"

"I do not need."

Fang Qing said softly, without hesitation, quite straightforwardly.

Without Jiang Huazi asking, Fang Weiguo took the initiative to speak: "Well, as long as the two children live happily, things like betrothal gifts don't matter."

Pan Hui also nodded silently.

Jiang Huazi sighed and smiled bitterly, "But how many girls are as good as Qingqing in the world, and how many good people are as sensible and considerate as you, Brother Fang and Sister Pan?"

"It will. Don't you think so?"

There was no way Jiang Chen would allow this kid to watch his show, so he changed the subject.

Hong Xiaoyu secretly grumbled in his heart that his cousin was not righteous, but nodded solemnly on the surface, "Yes! Although it is rare to find a girl as good as Sister Fang Qing, there must be more than one."

Jiang Huazi laughed and teased her son, "Why don't you talk to your girlfriend and ask her not to give you a betrothal gift?"

Hong Xiaoyu, who was so confident a second ago, suddenly looked embarrassed and at a loss.

Still young and immature.

He really can't compare with his brother.

"You don't dare anymore? You're still bragging here."

Jiang Huazi continued to tease her son.

"I seem to smell a burnt smell, mom, is your soup overcooked?"

"oops."

Jiang Huazi quickly got up and rushed into the kitchen.

Several families who had known each other for many years sat in a small commercial apartment, laughing and talking happily.

"You've learned to be smart."

The brothers walked into the room.

The Fang family was chatting and watching TV in the living room.

"Now that you're at work, you have to be more diplomatic, right brother?"

Hong Xiaoyu made a gesture of tying a tie.

"You haven't told your parents yet?"

Jiang Chen stood with his butt resting on the computer desk.

"say what?"

"You talk about love."

"Yes." Hong Xiaoyu was surprised.

"Stop pretending. Do your parents know Xueying's identity?"

Hong Xiaoyu shook his head slowly, "... not yet."

"Why don't you tell me?"

"Brother, how can I tell her? If I tell her, my mother will be scared to death."

Jiang Chen smiled.

But this kid's concerns are understandable.

The gap in family background between the two families is too big. Duan Xueying can be regarded as a top white, rich and beautiful woman in the entire province, or even in the entire central region. For an ordinary family, she is like the moon in the sky, which is really out of reach.

"You don't have to tell me, just bring me back to meet you when you have time. Jiangcheng is so close, this is also a way of showing your responsibility to me."

"That's easy for you to say. Brother, you are a typical example of talking without any pain in your waist."

Jiang Chen raised his hand, as if he was going to treat him to chestnuts. Even though he couldn't hit him at all, Hong Xiaoyu quickly took a step back.

"How come my back doesn't hurt when I talk while standing? This is a great opportunity."

"Then why didn't you bring your sister-in-law back with you?"

Hong Xiaoyu said immediately.

Jiang Chen was speechless, his expression changed slightly, and he spoke vaguely: "...My situation is different from yours." Hong Xiaoyu did not continue to embarrass his cousin and changed the subject, "Brother, I heard from my mom that Brother Tiejun is getting married?"

"Ah."

"When are you going to have the wedding? Take me along then. Brother Tiejun didn't invite me."

"What did he ask you to do?"

Jiang Chen smiled.

"I consider him my brother, too. I have a job now and I have the money to pay for favors."

"..."

Jiang Chen continued to smile, "He just doesn't want your gift money. Since he didn't invite you, how can I take you there?"

"Why not? Isn't it normal to bring a family member to a banquet? Anyway, I'm a bachelor and I didn't bring anyone back."

In order to avoid angering his cousin too much, Hong Xiaoyu quickly added, "I really want to witness Brother Tiejun's happiness."

"You kid!"

Jiang Chen immediately said, "If you want to go, go and talk to your brother Tiejun yourself. I won't be alone, your sister Fang Qing and brother Zili will also go."

"Didn't Brother Zili go in?"

"He didn't kill anyone or set anything."

"Brother fished it out, right?"

"Your sister Fang Qing picked it up."

Hong Xiaoyu suddenly fell silent and looked at Jiang Chen with a meaningful and ambiguous look.

"...Brother, let me say something, don't be angry."

"Shut up."

Jiang Chen said decisively.

But she has grown up and will not obey like a child. Even though her cousin avoided the question, Hong Xiaoyu still asked bravely: "Is this the reason why you didn't bring your sister-in-law back this time? You were afraid of embarrassment."

"Who's embarrassed? Your sister Fang Qing is very familiar with her."

"Different."

Hong Xiaoyu said: "Sister Fang Qing is familiar, but this is in Sand City. Are Brother Tiejun and the others familiar? And the old friends you met here..."

Yes.

It’s different from being away from home.

This is his hometown, carrying his past, the people of the past, and the stories of the past.

perhaps.

This is also the reason why he did not mention it and Li Shurui never took the initiative to mention coming.

Seeing that his cousin said nothing, Hong Xiaoyu walked over, slowly raised his hand with a "treasonous" look, patted his cousin's shoulder, and sighed softly with empathy.

"Brother, I understand you."

Jiang Chen still seized the opportunity, stood up, clenched his fingers, and tapped him on the head.

"You understand shit."

living room.

Fang Weiguo and his wife chatted while watching TV.

Where is Fang Qing?
On the balcony.

answer the phone.

"Sorry, Sister Fang Qing, I was just checking my phone. 6000 yuan?"

It’s Li Shurui calling.

There are indeed many good girls in the world.

This is not.

Li Shurui is much more reasonable and polite than someone else.

"Ah."

"I'll transfer it to you right away. This little money has been snatched up so hard. Sister Fang Qing, you must not let him go."

6000 yuan.

It didn't matter to Fang Qing.

Not to mention Li Shurui, who actually controls Tianci Capital.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no need to round off the number, but instead round it up. If ten thousand yuan fell on the ground, it would not be worth it for this God-given general manager to bend down to pick it up.

But she just made this call specifically.

Fang Qing came to her to "collect debts" out of respect for her status.

And she called, also out of respect.

"Why didn't you come together?"

Fang Qing looked at the residential area outside the balcony.

"Busy."

Li Shurui smiled.

"It's always possible to take a rest for a day or two. We still have Luo Peng and the others."

"But……

He didn’t call me.”

"He has a bad memory. If you don't mention something, he will always forget it."

"Sister Fang Qing is right. Now I realize it too."

Li Shurui sighed and said, "Next time, please ask Sister Fang Qing to wish Tiejun a happy wedding for me."

Fang Qing pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but didn't say, "Yeah."

"I'll transfer the money to Sister Fang Qing. See you when I return to Donghai."

What a nice girl.

The call ended, and before Fang Qing put down the phone, she heard the sound of money being transferred into her account.

Fang Qing turned a blind eye, holding her phone, quietly looking out the glass, looking at the undisturbed sand city.

in fact.

She should have said thank you to the other person.

"Who?"

A voice came from behind.

After the two brothers finished their private chat, they walked out of the room. After all, they couldn’t leave the guests alone for a long time.

Hong Xiaoyu went to entertain the Fang couple, and someone was very short-sighted. He heard Uncle Fang say that Fang Qing went to answer the phone, and then saw Fang Qing standing alone on the balcony in a daze, so he walked over.

"Li Shurui."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's face changed slightly, and he hated himself for being too talkative.

But he had already come here and couldn't go back, so he walked to Qinggege.

"Did I return the money to you?"

"Ah."

Fang Qing looked calm, "Xiaoyu is right, there are indeed many good girls in this world."

Jiang Chen pretended to be calm and laughed. He wondered if he felt his laughter was awkward.

"It's a pity that not everyone has such good luck as me."

"Do you think you're lucky?"

Fang Qing looked outside without looking around.

"of course."

Jiang Chen said firmly, "I have met so many good girls. Am I just unlucky?"
