"We haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still so bragging. By the way, since I saw you today, I just want to ask you something." Ye Shaofeng said.
"Begging me? How can your omnipotent Brother Shaofeng ask me to do things? Hahaha, things are really changing. Tell me, what is it?" Tang Jiaqian said with a proud smile.
"Oh, this matter is simple, just... I just want to borrow some money from you..." Ye Shaofeng said embarrassedly.
It's the beginning of the month now, and there's still one month left until wages are paid. Moreover, my salary card has been given to Yao Xueqi, so I only have about three hundred yuan left in my body.
In today's world where material requirements are extremely high, I'm afraid these three hundred yuan won't last for a few days. Moreover, I have to visit the parents of little girl Tang Jiaqian, so it's impossible not to get some decent gifts. Buying gifts requires even more money.
If this was another woman, Ye Shaofeng would never ask for a loan, but this Tang Jiaqian grew up with him wearing crotchless pants. Ye Shaofeng has always regarded her as his sister, and the two of them are very close. Yours is
Mine, what's mine is yours.
Even after being separated for such a long time and meeting again, the intimacy quickly returned to the past. Therefore, Ye Shaofeng shamelessly borrowed money from the little girl.
"It's easy to talk about borrowing money. How much do you want to borrow?"
Ye Shaofeng blushed, thought about it in his mind, and said, "Two thousand, just two thousand."
"Oh, when will you return it to me?" Tang Jiaqian asked teasingly.
"After I have paid my salary, I will definitely pay it back to you. I am a person who never pays for debts. It is not difficult to borrow money and borrow it again, hahaha..." Ye Shaofeng said with a playful smile.
"Okay, I'll just lend it to you, but I don't have any money with me. Come on, follow me home and get it." Tang Jiaqian said.
"That...that's not good...I won't go...your parents are both at home. It would be embarrassing for me to go empty-handed...you can just pass by my house and deliver it to me when you go to work in the afternoon." Ye Shaofeng said.
"Why is it bad? My parents have regarded you as their own son since you were a child. Now that you are back, you must go with me to see them as soon as possible! If you don't go, you have no filial piety!"
"I...it's not appropriate for me to go empty-handed..."
"You've borrowed money from me now, which means you definitely have no money. Why do you have to pretend to be fat if you don't have money? Let's go. You haven't eaten either. I guess my mother has cooked all the food.
Come to my house to eat!" With that, Tang Jiaqian took Ye Shaofeng's hand and pulled Ye Shaofeng out of the house.
When I arrived at Tang Jiaqian's house, I saw my long-lost uncle and aunt, as if I were seeing my own relatives again. The family had lunch together, and Ye Shaofeng drank some wine with Tang Jiaqian's father, Tang Aiqiang.
Normally, Tang Jiaqian's mother would never let Tang Aiqiang drink. This time, Ye Shaofeng was back, so she allowed him to take a few sips.
After listening to Ye Shaofeng's story of living in the South, the old couple sympathized with the child, but this was fate.
"Okay, those things in the past are in the past. Don't mention them anymore. At least you are back alive and kicking. Now that you are back, you can work down-to-earth and live a stable life in the future. By the way, Shaofeng, do you need me to support you?
A friend can find you a position in a government agency?" Tang Aiqiang said.
"No... no, your family has helped me too much, and I don't want to owe you anymore. I am a man, and I am already so old. I have to walk my own path. I don't want to rely on others anymore." Ye Shaofeng
He quickly declined.
"That's right. After eight years of absence, I have become a more manly person after coming back! What a good boy, you will have a bright future!" Tang Aiqiang praised.
The meal was a pleasant one, and the four of us were as close as one family. Before leaving, Mrs. Tang did not forget to say to Ye Shaofeng: "Shaofeng, you will come home to eat when it is time to eat. We are a family, so you are welcome."
"Thank you, uncle and aunt, I will visit you often in the future." Ye Shaofeng thanked the two elders and walked out of their house with Tang Jiaqian.
"Why are you following me out? It's not time to go to work yet." Ye Shaofeng asked.
"Don't worry about it. Go home and wait. I'll give you the money and take it to your house later." With that said, the little girl Tang Jiaqian took two steps and left.
Ye Shaofeng returned home, and not long after waiting, Tang Jiaqian came, holding a slightly thick envelope in her hand.
He put the envelope on the table and said, "I just went to the bank to withdraw money. I saved the 20,000 yuan in the first half of the year. You can use it. You can pay me back when you have money."
"Twenty thousand? I...I borrowed two thousand from you." Ye Shaofeng said.
"Don't say it's useless. You take the money first. I'm not in a hurry to use the money, and you don't have to be in a hurry to pay it back. This is my return of favor to you. Who told you to always stand up for me when you were a child?
I remember one time when you helped me out, you were beaten with blood by some big guys, hahaha..."
"You were still laughing. It's funny to say it now. I remember you were so scared that you cried. In desperation, you even raised bricks to fight those big guys with your life.
In fact, your seemingly weak body contains a strong heart!" Ye Shaofeng also joked.
After sitting for a while, neither of them said anything, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Tang Jiaqian kept drinking hot water. Suddenly, the girl seemed to remember something and said: "By the way, Brother Shaofeng. You too
You have to do me a favor!"
"What's the deal? Are you standing up for you again?" Ye Shaofeng said with a smile.
"Yeah, almost."
"Really? Who bullied you?" Ye Shaofeng suddenly became serious and asked.
"No, it's not that someone bullied me, it's that someone wanted to introduce me to a boyfriend. Tonight, a very good colleague invited me to a bar. It was actually a blind date with a man. We were all friends, and he already
I have been invited many times, but I am embarrassed to refuse."
"Then go, maybe you can meet the prince charming in your heart." Ye Shaofeng said with a smile.
"Brother Shaofeng, you are so boring! I am telling you something serious now! I really don't want to have a boyfriend, so you have to do me this favor." Tang Jiaqian said.
"Help? How do you want me to help? Let me go on a blind date for you? They are interested in you. Besides, they are not gay!" Ye Shaofeng said with a smile.
"Listen to me. In the evening, there will be many friends having fun together, just like a friend's party. There are both men and women. When the time comes, you go with me. Just say you are my boyfriend. That way
Come on, the man who is attracted to me will stop pestering me." Tang Jiaqian said.
"What? You asked me to pretend to be your boyfriend! This... this is not good." Ye Shaofeng said in surprise.
"If there's anything wrong, just go if I ask you to. Just think of it as compensation for my sister and I'll go there to have fun. It's all up to you if you can or not!" Tang Jiaqian's words that seemed to be asking were actually orders.
The girl's big eyes stared, leaving Ye Shaofeng with no room to refuse...
