In the year 1998, Tang Yin's family was living quite comfortably. Tang's father, Tang Kangming, received an unusual promotion and was officially appointed as the director of the Cangshan City Investment Promotion Office. If he was promoted one step further, he would be a real municipal leader.
Ever since Cangshan City held an economic and trade tourism festival two years ago, which brought Cangshan City's investment promotion work into a state of explosion, Tang Kangming, Tang's father, has been so busy that he is almost nowhere to be seen at home, and he is often drunk.
I got home in the middle of the night, fell into bed and went to sleep.
Tang's mother complained, thinking that it was not as comfortable as the poor life in the past. At least this situation would not happen at that time. If this continues, Tang Kangming's body will be unable to bear it. While Tang's mother was complaining, she changed
His smiling face has never stopped, obviously his life is extremely comfortable now.
Tang Kangming's promotion made the Tang family's social status rise, and Tang's mother's Yan Ruyu Lifestyle Shop had a bumper harvest, which also completely improved the Tang family's economic conditions. At the end of the year, the profit of the beauty salon actually exceeded one million, and Tang's mother and father Tang didn't say anything.
He said that he had paid off all the rent for the second year's facade house on South Street in advance. The entire purchase price was only one million short of the last year's final payment, which was no longer a big problem for the Tang family.
In the hearts of his parents, Tang Yin was their hope for the future. However, Tang Yin did not disappoint them. In the final exam, he got all three grades. This made Tang Yin stand tall and straight after the parent-teacher meeting.
My head is getting straighter and straighter, and I occasionally ask Tang Yin, when will there be a parent-teacher meeting? If so, remember to remind me.
This made Tang's mother hide and snicker. She understood that her husband was addicted. Her son got good grades, and the class teacher asked him to say a few words in front of many parents. She couldn't stop feeling so proud.
His father, Tang Kangming, had been promoted to an official position, but he was also pushed to the forefront. Drinking and socializing for a long time was more likely to harm his body. This made Tang Yin confused. He didn't know whether his efforts to change the family situation were right or wrong, but whenever he saw the confidence
With his parents and mother with a bright smile, Tang Yin felt that everything was worth it.
After the earthquake in the Cangshan Municipal Government and Gao Changfu's double-registration, even Lin Zhiyuan became much more low-key. Fortunately, this man was cunning and had been on guard for a long time. He was not affected by Gao Changfu's case, but his business fell completely.
After all, he mainly relied on the big tree of Gao Changfu to make his fortune.
At the same time, even Bi Zhijiang fell into silence due to the Gao Changfu case and seemed to have never recovered. This was something Lin Zhiyuan did not expect. Thinking about it, he was the former secretary of a certain chief.
Seeing his "old subordinate" Tang Kangming's career now flourishing and becoming a real full-time cadre, Lin Zhiyuan felt a bit sour in his heart. This was a little person whom he pointed at and scolded at the beginning, but now
But he has truly become a being that he looks up to.
But he is worthy of being a person who can take up and let go. Since Tang Kangming is already so unattainable, what can we do if we try to climb up to him? At least he still has a powerful artifact - his precious daughter Lin Jingqi.
After having this idea, before his baby Lin Jingqi's birthday, he asked as if he didn't care: "Well, Jingqi, how did you arrange the birthday party? Did you invite the little classmates? Is there that little guy Tang Yin among them?"
ah?"
Lin Jingqi was very surprised. She looked at her father with big eyes. A few years ago, her father took her to Bi Yiming's house in the provincial capital. It seemed that he wanted to marry her and Bi Yiming. Now that Tang Yin was mentioned, should she let herself step on it?
Two boats?
Who is Lin Zhiyuan? He is the most observant person in the world. How could he not see the look in Lin Jingqi's eyes: "Ahem...recently my father discovered that Bi Yiming is not a good guy. He is messing around with women in Jiangdong City."
Yes, I don’t want my precious daughter to be wronged by following him.”
At this time, Lin Jingqi suddenly realized that it was Bi Zhijiang who was demoted for investigation, but Tang Kangming was promoted step by step, which changed her father's mind again: "Well, this birthday is a junior birthday. If my daughter doesn't plan to have a big event, just invite a few people.
I am a good friend and classmate. Let me congratulate you at Dongyuan Hotel. I am preparing to invite Tang Yin."
Lin Jingqi answered her father with a low eyebrow, but she felt a little disappointed in her heart. Did you know that Bi Yiming was this kind of person? I just have some feelings for Bi Yiming.
Lin Zhiyuan nodded approvingly. He was really satisfied with his precious daughter. She knew how to make choices and could afford to let go. This was how life should be.
Watching her father leave with a smile on her face, Lin Jingqi held her cheek in hand and sat at the desk in front of the window, dazed. After a long time, she took a long breath and seemed to have made a decision. She quickly walked to the living room without saying a word.
Hesitantly dialed a mobile number.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" A vibration of the mobile phone woke up Tang Yin who was napping while reading. The phone number was unfamiliar. When did his mobile phone ring with an unfamiliar number?
"Hello, who are you?" Tang Yin rubbed his slightly wrinkled brow with one hand and asked calmly.
"Tang Yin, I'm Lin Jingqi, is it convenient now?" Lin Jingqi's sweet and greasy voice came from the receiver, with a slight vibrato and a hoarse tone.
Tang Yin was inexplicably confused: "Oh, this is classmate Lin Jingqi, what's the matter with me?" He couldn't help but sit up straight, and his slightly frowned brows were instantly smoothed.
It was years ago that Lin Jingqi knew Tang Yin's number. One day a year ago, Lin Jingqi suddenly asked Tang Yin what his mobile phone number was. Although Tang Yin was surprised at the time, he still told Lin Jingqi.
Lin Jingqi's explanation was that a friend of hers was in an emergency that day, and she was afraid that she could not be contacted, so she gave Tang Yin's number to that friend. As a result, she did not receive the so-called call all day long, but Lin Jingqi also had Tang Yin's number.
"Tomorrow is my birthday, do you have time to attend?" Lin Jingqi still said in her slightly hoarse voice.
"That's it, um... well, tell me the place." Tang Yin pondered for a moment and said, "If you need any gifts, I'll bring them over."
"You don't need anything, just come. We are all classmates." Lin Jingqi's voice seemed a little more cheerful: "The location is Cuiyuan Hall on the sixth floor of Dongyuan Hotel."
"Well, I understand. Is there anything else?" Tang Yin switched the phone to one ear and looked sideways at the door. He found his mother standing at the door with a smile on her face, and made a hiss.
action.
"No, remember to come early to help me receive the guests." Lin Jingqi's voice became more and more cheerful.
"Okay, I'll hang up then. See you tomorrow, bye." Tang Yin hurriedly hung up the phone, put the phone in his pocket, walked to the door and asked his mother: "Mom, is something okay?"
"It's nothing, was it a girl just now?" Tang's mother asked Tang Yin cheerfully. The mobile phones of that era had good speakers, allowing Tang's mother to hear the sound even two or three meters away.
"Well, it's classmate Lin Jingqi. She has her birthday tomorrow and invited me to attend." Tang Yinlai answered calmly and truthfully.
"Lin Zhiyuan's enamel doll-like daughter?" Mother Tang, who was originally smiling, immediately turned stiff when she heard this: "Mom doesn't mind you dating girls at school, but she doesn't like the daughter of the old Lin family."
"Mom, where are you thinking? It's just an ordinary interaction between classmates, it's not that complicated." Tang Yin chuckled.
"That's good, Lin Zhiyuan has a bad mind and can't train a good girl." Mother Tang murmured.
"I understand, Mom." Tang Yin made a face at his mother and hurried out: "Mom, I went out to buy gifts. When attending other people's birthday banquets, I have to give some gifts."
"Well, that's right." A smile appeared on Mother Tang's face again. She was now extremely satisfied with her precious son.
Mother is more valuable than son. From the time Tang Yin passed the No. 1 Middle School in the city, Tang’s mother found that her son suddenly became very different. She paid close attention to every change in her son. Sometimes she even wondered whether this was her original
That son, the change was astonishing.
Later, she took the initiative to attribute Tang Yin's changes to the fact that her son had grown up and matured. Seeing her son's state at this time, she concluded that it had nothing to do with Lin Jingqi, and the worries in her heart were put back into place.
To be honest, she doesn't like Lin Zhiyuan's family from the bottom of her heart. If her son seriously talks about being friends with Lin Jingqi, she is worried about whether she will have a good relationship with Lin Jingqi. In fact, at Tang Yin's age, how can he develop?
To the extent that Tang’s mother needs to consider the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
After Tang Yin walked away, Mother Tang suddenly remembered that her son had not asked her for money when he went out. How could he not need money to buy gifts for his classmates? But then she suddenly realized that Tang Yin had received a lot of New Year's money years ago.
, In addition, the third uncle seemed to have given money to Tang Yin once. I think Tang Yin must have money in his hands, otherwise he would not ask for money from himself.
After Tang Yin went to the street, he thought for a long time and decided to buy a very special gift for Lin Jingqi. To be honest, he was not good at giving gifts, especially gifts to girls. In another time and space, he had never given a gift.
For girls, there is no experience at all.
Fortunately, the information in that era was relatively developed, and Tang Yin's vision became higher than the aesthetics of people of this era. In order to get the so-called suitable gift in his mind, he traveled to many places and spent a lot of thought.
After the Chinese New Year, business in all walks of life was not as booming as before. Tang Yin successfully bought a gift that originally cost more than a thousand yuan for only more than 800 yuan. This may be because the business owner saw that
Tang Yin is not very old, so he might be scared away because of the high price.
In fact, this is not necessarily the case. Most merchants have a habit of not wanting to do the first business in the morning, thus affecting the whole day's business. It's like they say they are closing, but don't want to hear that they are closed.
It's true, it's not unlucky. And this store is a gift shop, not a shop where bargaining is not allowed.
In that era, a gift worth more than 800 yuan, especially a social gift between students, was considered a luxury.
But in Tang Yin's mind, there is nothing wrong with a gift of this price. Now that he has money in his hands, he has no specific concept of money. This is what people often say, the difference between the rich and the rich. (To be continued.
