Chapter 32
After coming out of the hospital, a cool breeze could not blow away the depressed feeling in Tang Xiaochuan.
He drove all the way, but his mind flew to his home thousands of miles away. He remembered his elderly parents and thought that he had not called them for several days.
When he passed by the convenience store for 24 hours, he was so upset that he parked the car and bought a bottle of water. He took a few sips before he felt better.
"Sir, you should control your emotions when the biohormones levels in your body are detected!" Lei Laohu's voice rang in his ears.
Tang Xiaochuan asked: "Lao Lei, why do you think people have lived in this life? Have you been born to wait for death? I felt very uncomfortable when I saw Mr. Liao just now!"
"Sir, this is a philosophical question. I can't give you an accurate answer! You can't always worry about this question, otherwise you can't do anything. I only know that a life should shine with its light. Perhaps in your opinion, Mr. Liao is mediocre in this life, born ordinary, and may also go silently in the future, but no matter what, he has existed, he has left his mark in this world and the continuation of his life!"
Tang Xiaochuan took a deep breath, "Lao Lei, although you are a program, you are smarter than many humans and wiser than many people. It feels much better to chat with you, thank you!"
"It is my duty to serve you!"
Tang Xiaochuan wanted to call his parents, but it was late at night and was worried that he would call him to disturb their rest. At this time, Lei Laohu said: "Sir, there is a call in. It's your brother!"
"Check in!"
"OK!"
After the phone was connected, Tang Xiaochuan asked: "Is it so late and haven't rested yet?"
"Tang Hanchen, I'm going to get married!" The voice of my younger brother Tang Hanmin rang in the car.
Tang Hanmin was only one year younger than Tang Xiaochuan. They both were kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school at the same time. Tang Hanchen was Tang Xiaochuan's original name. For some reason, after he dropped out of college, he changed his name to Tang Xiaochuan. When he went to the police station to apply for a name change, the police asked him why he changed his name. He said that the original name was too big and too high and he could not afford it.
Because the two brothers are almost the same age, their younger brother Tang Hanmin never called his brother and always called him the name directly, but Tang Xiaochuan never cared about it. If Tang Hanmin suddenly called him brother, he would not get used to it.
Tang Xiaochuan knew about his younger brother’s girlfriend. It seemed that his surname was Wang, and he was introduced by a colleague from his younger brother’s unit. The two had been talking for more than half a year.
"This is a good thing. Is the day decided?" Tang Xiaochuan was also happy for his younger brother, with joy in his voice.
"We didn't plan to get married so early, but Wang Xiuqing was pregnant. After discussing, we decided to get married. At first, it was National Day, but Wang Xiuqing's parents said that the time was too hasty and there was no time to prepare. Later, we discussed with our parents, and then discussed with her parents, and then we set up a banquet at the end of the year, on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month!"
Tang Xiaochuan nodded: "Get married at the end of the year. At that time, relatives, friends, neighbors and neighbors were all home. There were so many people! Where are you planning to have a drink?"
"Of course, we are at home. Both parties are placing wine in their hometown. I checked it. If we walk on the highway, our family will be only five hours away from her family. There is no problem with wedding reception!"
After hearing this, Tang Xiaochuan said, "It's good to have this kind of drinks at home! I'll call my parents later and discuss how to rest our house. The house is too old!"
"No need, it's just a drink, there's no need to go through a lot of trouble! That... I want to borrow some money from you. My unit is in Jiangcheng. Wang Xiuqing and I discussed it and planned to settle down here, so we planned to buy a house here. We have already looked forward to one. She and her parents are also quite satisfied, but the down payment is still a little short!"
In fact, Tang Xiaochuan has not been in a good way in the past few years and often has no food. Only he knows the difficulties. When the food is out, he doesn't want to bother others, so he can only call his younger brother with shamelessness. Every time his younger brother doesn't say anything, he quickly transfers the money.
Tang Xiaochuan asked: "How much is the down payment? How much is it missing?"
"I have saved 120,000 yuan in the past few years, and Wang Xiuqing also has 80,000 yuan. Her parents sponsored us 100,000 yuan. I borrowed another 50,000 yuan from my colleagues, and I am still missing 50,000 yuan!"
Tang Xiaochuan said: "Then don't you have no money to decorate the house after you buy it? It's not a few months away from the end of the year. You must decorate the house before getting married, right?"
"There is no choice but to buy the house first. Let's talk about it. The decoration will be done slowly. Now I have a monthly salary of 12,000 yuan and a bonus of 10,000 yuan per month. Wang Xiuqing is more than 4,000 yuan a month. Apart from living expenses, save a little. You can decorate the house in half a year and pay it back slowly after the mortgage!"
Tang Xiaochuan thought for a while and said, "Since your wife's parents' family sponsored 100,000 yuan, our family must not refuse to express it. I will transfer the money to you later. You can rest early!"
After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiaochuan immediately transferred 500,000 yuan to his younger brother and sent a voice message: "If there is a larger house, buy a bigger one and get a better decoration. When your child is born, you may have to come over to take care of your child. Maybe we will all go to your house for the New Year and you can live there at that time."
After a while, my younger brother Tang Hanmin sent me a prestige: "???Where did you get so much money?"
Tang Xiaochuan went back: "Will I not have money?"
"That's not what I mean!"
"······ Do you still remember the accident a few years ago? Later, the other party compensated 600,000 yuan. Not long after, I used that money to invest in a company opened by a classmate, accounting for 40% of the shares. In recent years, the company has grown and made a little money. The company distributed dividends last month, and the 500,000 yuan is part of the dividends!"
"I understand!" Tang Hanmin knew that the accident a few years ago was a pain in Tang Xiaochuan's heart, so he stopped mentioning it, "You should rest early too!"
After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiaochuan thought about it and called his parents. The phone was quickly connected. It seemed that his younger brother had also called the two elders just now.
"Hey? Which one?" My father's old voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Dad, it's me. Haven't you and mom sleep yet?"
"Oh, it's the boss, it's not yet, tell your mother!" The old man said, "Old woman, come here quickly, the boss is calling!"
The father and son never have anything extra to say, and it is like this every time. As long as Tang Xiaochuan calls back, the old man will give the phone to his mother at most a few words.
"Hey, boss." My mother's voice came from the phone.
"Mom, it's me! Did the second brother call just now?"
"Yes, I said I was planning to get married. I discussed with us that it was scheduled for the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. Your father and I were so happy that we couldn't sleep, but we were worried. He wanted to buy a house in Jiangcheng, and there was still a lot of money. Although he didn't say it, your father and I knew that he must be short of money. Your father and I don't have much savings, only 20,000 yuan, and it won't work much. What should you do if you say this!"
Tang Xiaochuan said: "Don't worry about you and dad. I have some money in my hand and have been transferred to him! I called me to ask you, the second brother, who is holding wine in his hometown after getting married. Will our house be repaired? That's the broken house, and then my sister-in-law's family will not look good!"
The old man's voice came: "You have come to your point. I can't be embarrassed in front of my second wife's family. Then just repair the house. It has been raining these days. When the sky clears, I will ask someone to ask how to repair it and how much it costs."
Seeing that the old man agreed, Tang Xiaochuan said, "Since your two elders agree, don't worry about this matter. I will find someone to repair the house, and you don't have to worry about the money. It's just that when someone comes to repair the house, you can cooperate with me!"
