Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 507 That Paper Was Really Good

Xiao Hong and her two friends walked over from that side, and they all went out the back door together.

Xiao Wei asked Chen Hui, "How's business these past few days?"

Chen Hui took out a bankbook, clapped it a few times, and said, "Great! It's probably because the weather's warmer these days that more people are out. I make at least 50,000 yuan a day. I wish it could be like this every day."

Xiao Wei said, "When we get paid, let's take some money out and give it to everyone. We're all working hard, so let's give the cleaning lady a little too. Let's give Li Na 1,000, Sister Jin 1,000, the chef 1,000, Wei Yun 500, and the rest of us 200 each. If anyone performs exceptionally well, we can give them a little more. Let's set up a reward system in the future and select a few outstanding employees to give awards every month."

Chen Hui said, "Okay. Will it be paid along with my salary?"

Xinghai said, "My goodness, the bonus is only a thousand? Xiaowei, you've really struck it rich!"

Liu Liu said, "Didn't you hear that Xiao Hong was sent to deliver 750,000 yuan? Xiao Wei and Xiao Hong must have a fortune now. Oh, I wish I could have that kind of money someday. I'd buy a big house, bring my mom and sister out, cook meat for them every day, let them use running water, and have a scented toilet. That toilet paper is so nice, much more comfortable than vegetable leaves."

Xiao Wei opened the car door and said, "Then hurry up and work hard. If you manage those few stalls for a year, your wish will come true. Houses aren't expensive these days."

Everyone got in the car and headed back. Xinghai and Liuliu were in Xiaowei's car now. Xinghai looked out the window and asked, "Wei, where are we going?"

Xiao Wei said, "Let's go home. Where can we go when it's already dark?"

Xinghai said, "Your family moved here? Didn't you say you were going to Longcheng?"

Xiao Wei said, "Yes, my parents are in Longcheng, and Xiao Hong's parents are here."

Xinghai asked, "Xiaohong's parents came too? They're not coming back? You're something else, aren't they? You've brought your in-laws all from the provincial capital. So, you're giving up your father-in-law's job?"

Xiao Wei said, "I've been transferred here and I'm working here. It was all arranged by Xiao Hui's dad. I'll get along well with Xiao Hui and Lao Xia from now on. They're really honest people, and you can really understand them."

Liu Liu leaned against the back of the chair and asked, "Xiao Wei, is Chen Hui's dad really a high-ranking official? How high?"

Xiao Wei said, "Yeah, a big official, a deputy provincial level official, which is equivalent to a deputy provincial governor. He might even go into the central government in the future, he's so young."

Liu Liu glanced at Xing Hai and said, "My god, I can't tell at all. I always thought that the children of high-ranking officials must be different from us, that they must be arrogant and domineering."

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "Can people be the same? Some are nothing, some are nothing at all. They have different personalities. Xiao Hui is a particularly good person, very honest."

Xinghai said, "Xiaowei, is the city really like what you and Lao Xia said? Are there really that many bad people in that big market?"

Xiao Wei said, "There are good and bad people everywhere. This is just a matter of being more careful to prevent things from happening. It's not that there aren't good people in the world, but as long as we're a little more careful, we won't suffer any losses."

Xiao Hong said, "I heard from my classmates that when they went to buy clothes that day, a guy from out of town who came to buy goods put his bag aside while looking at the goods. As a result, a guy pushed it into the stall, and the boss covered it with clothes and pulled it inside. It was said that there was 60,000 yuan in the bag. The guy from out of town sat on the ground and cried."

Then the stall owner pretended to comfort her, offering to buy the goods on credit and telling her not to be upset, even offering to call the police for her. But what good would calling the police do? He's such a bad person. My classmates and their two friends just stood there watching, not daring to say a word. They said the stall owner glared at them several times.

Xiao Wei said, "Old Xia and I ran into them on Taiyuan Street before. They would pick up things, look at them, and then wouldn't let us leave without buying them. They would ask for hundreds of yuan right off the bat. So I'm telling you guys, be careful and don't touch things randomly. Also, always ask about the price before you do anything, understand? If you don't make it clear beforehand, whatever price they ask for later will be irrelevant and you'll never be able to get anywhere."

Liu Liu looked at Xing Hai and said, "This makes me afraid to go out on the street. Can we manage?"

Xiao Wei said, "The main problem is that you guys haven't been out in the world before, so it's easy to tell what you're like from what you say and do. But once you get to know each other better over time, it'll be fine. Just be careful. If anything happens, don't panic. Just run straight to the police and call me and Xiao Hui afterwards. Don't get into a fight with anyone."

Xiao Hong said, "Yes, it will get better with time, it's nothing. If anything really happens, just go to the government offices. There are management offices and security posts inside Wu'ai South Tower. Go there and find out where their offices are. If something really happens, just go there and tell them your relative works for the provincial party committee and needs to make a phone call."

Xiao Wei said, "That's right, we're not afraid of anything, just don't suffer losses right away. If things really come to a head, we'll just spend some money and get it back later. Just remember the location, and whatever you do, don't fight with anyone. Who knows how many people they have? Besides, it's not worth getting stabbed if you run into a fool."

When the car arrived downstairs, everyone got out. Chen Hui said, "We won't go upstairs; Xiaoxiao is a little tired."

Xia Maosheng laughed and said, "Why aren't you coming up with me?"

Chen Hui said, "Nonsense, aren't there still the two of you in the car? Why would I ask you to come over? Alright, let's go back. I'll make a call to the guesthouse, and you can take Xinghai and Liuliu there in a bit. Bye-bye." He turned around and went back to Chen Xiao's house.

As everyone went upstairs, Xiao Hong said, "Uncle Chen's son is such a disappointment. He's married a good wife, but he's lost his son. I've never seen Xiao Hui come home."

Xiaowei said, "Don't say that to Chen Hui's face. You're always like this, really. Who will take care of Xiaoxiao if we go to Xiaohui's house? Do Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen have the time? Besides, how do you know they don't go back? They often go back on Sundays."

Xiao Hong rolled her eyes. Xiao Wei took out his keys and opened the door. Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang were sitting in chairs watching TV. Turning their heads to see them come in, Aunt Wang said, "Why are you only coming back at this hour? Have you eaten? Oh dear, we have guests?" She stood up.

Xiao Wei said, "Auntie, this is Xinghai, and this is Liuliu. Don't you recognize them?"

Aunt Wang stared at Xinghai and Liuliu for a long time and said, "They do look a bit like them. It's been so many years since I last saw them. They've all grown up and changed. How could I recognize them? Come in and sit down." Xinghai and Liuliu greeted, "Uncle, Aunt."

Uncle Wang said, "I still remember Liu Liu a little. Xinghai is like a completely different person since he was a child. The change is too great. How are your parents? I've run into Liu Liu's father a few times in the county."

Xinghai said, "It's the same as always. We just grow some land and raise some chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs. That's all there is to it."

Aunt Wang asked, "Are you here to have fun?"

Really, it's so good to have you all! Thank you.
