After being stunned for a moment, I asked her: "Sister, what happened?"
Lao Fu's wife seemed a little embarrassed to say anything, until Lao Fu said, "Is it Zhiqiang who called?"
She nodded and said with an embarrassed look: "Zhiqiang said that the woman had to buy a house before getting married, and she also said that she would prepare a gift of 100,000 yuan."
When Lao Fu heard this, he sighed heavily and took a sip of wine alone.
Of course I understand what's going on, but this is someone's family and I can't intervene.
After drinking two glasses of wine, Lao Fulian said angrily: "We can save a hundred thousand yuan as a gift, but if we want to buy a house, how can we get so much money!"
Lao Fu's wife also sighed and said: "Yes! We really can't afford it anymore. From his graduation to now, he has been asking his family to get money almost every month. Now that he is talking about getting married, how can he still pay for it?"
Such a thing!"
"I'll give him a call." Lao Fu said, then took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
I stood aside and said nothing. After all, it was a family matter and I was not qualified to intervene.
After Lao Fu got through, he asked, "I heard from your mother that the woman would need a gift of 100,000 yuan and a wedding room before agreeing to get married, right?"
I couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone. After a while, Lao Fu said again: "You and I both work part-time jobs. We can still save up to 100,000, but where can we get this wedding house for you? Mortgage
?It’s easy to say, but the down payment is still a lot of money!”
"You have been working outside for so many years, don't you even have the down payment for a house?"
I heard the words that came from the other end of the phone, because the voice was a bit loud, as if they were shouted out.
Lao Fu also drank some wine and said angrily: "What tone do you use to talk to me? I raised you so much and let you go to college. Now you have graduated and worked. Why can't you save money? Pay everyone back."
Yue asked us for money, are you still reasonable now?"
The other end of the phone said something angrily, but I didn't hear it and hung up the phone.
Lao Fu was so angry that he slammed his cell phone on the table, causing the dishes and plates on the table to shake.
Lao Fu's wife also looked worried, lowered her head and remained silent.
Lao Fu was so angry that he gasped. He poured another glass of wine and drank directly.
I couldn't stand it anymore. When Lao Fu was about to pick up the wine glass again, I took his hand and said, "Lao Fu, don't be so angry. Things will get better. Trust me."
Lao Fu sighed heavily and said, "Xiao Chen, you don't understand these things in our family. This son of mine has really disappointed us."
It seems that Lao Fu told me last night that his son earns 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month. It may be true, but his son cannot save money on his own.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things and let's drink." I picked up the wine glass and touched it with Lao Fu again.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. I thought Lao Fu’s little life was very good, but there were also things that made them sad.
Yes, there are no perfect things in this world, including those upper-class people who look well-dressed, drive around in luxury cars every day, and live in villas, but they also have their troubles!
It is not easy to be a human being, but contentment and constant happiness are blessings.
But how many people are content?
When I first started working, I just wanted to have my own studio. But when this dream came true, I wanted to turn the studio into a company.
Later, I realized it, and then I made another million. I still realized it, and even earned my first ten million in my life.
At that time, my ambitions became even greater. I wanted to expand the scale and take the company public.
But something unexpected happened, and the company went bankrupt, which brought me back to square one.
After stumbling along this journey, I have long understood this truth: people can never be satisfied. It is normal to eat from the bowl and look at the pot.
Lao Fu told me that it was his daughter who kept up the good work, and his daughter did not worry them much. Now she is in college, and she usually gives tutoring lessons to others on weekends to earn living expenses.
But when Lao Fu talked about his daughter, his eyes shone with pride.
I told Lao Fu not to worry too much. My son is not sensible now. He will naturally understand when he gets older. Don’t worry now.
Lao Fu drank a little too much at noon that day, so I asked him to go to bed first and not to go out today.
But Lao Fu insisted on setting up a stall, and said that today was Friday, there would be many people shopping in the evening, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity.
I really couldn't persuade him, but I finally persuaded him to go to bed. I told him to wait for him at the night market street at eight o'clock in the evening.
After leaving Lao Fu's house, I wandered outside alone, planning to visit the ancient town of Ciqikou.
Because there are many people doing carpet business there, I want to see how others do it, and I can try it out tonight.
After riding for more than half an hour, we finally arrived at Ciqikou Ancient Town. This is a relatively famous ancient town in Chongqing. It has a large flow of people even on weekends.
I wandered around and observed the people doing small business. They all had one thing in common with Lao Fu, that is, they were very observant of words and expressions.
They formulate different rules for different groups of people, and even set up consolation prizes to promote consumption. They only target those who are vacillating whether to buy or not.
This may seem a bit unkind, but as the saying goes, "There is no business without treachery." Small businessmen are small robbers, and big businessmen are big robbers.
After walking around like this, I really learned some tricks.
Really, don't look down on any profession, they all have their own characteristics.
I even think that some people who do big business are not as flexible as some small traders, but they just lack the opportunities to do big business.
But I believe that once they have those opportunities, they will definitely turn around.
It was getting dark, and I was ready to go back, set up my stall, and start my street stall career.
There is nothing shameful about this. As long as you make money down-to-earth, there is no shame.
On my way back, I passed by a tavern and there was a burst of nice music coming from inside.
A woman in her thirties was present. I was particularly touched by this song because An Lan particularly liked this song.
As soon as I heard this voice, I immediately turned my head and looked into the tavern.
But because of the angle, all I could see was the back of the singing woman inside, and I couldn't see her face clearly.
Her hair is very long and has reached her waist.
She has a very straight figure, a bit like An Lan, but it can't be her because An Lan doesn't have such long hair.
At this moment, I was curious.
I am curious about what kind of woman can sing such a song that is so unforgettable for me.
I stood there stunned for about two minutes before I came back to my senses and prepared to go in and see what the singing woman looked like.
But by this time, the singing had stopped, and the back figure had disappeared.
I seemed to feel like I was hallucinating, but it was obviously not a hallucination, so I still walked into the tavern.
I must see her face clearly because I don't want to miss any opportunity.?
