A "clang" sound suddenly woke up Lin Yutong and Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master got out of bed and turned on the light, "These kids haven't gone to bed yet." It was late at night to watch the video, and it was almost twelve o'clock.
Lin Yutong also stood up, and the two of them went out, excited. The air conditioner in the living room was set to a very low temperature. Is it 20 degrees?
The lights were not on, but the video was playing. The light was a bit dim.
The three children poked their heads out of the kitchen, then quietly retracted.
Lin Yutong sniffed, "What are you doing in the kitchen? It smells like instant noodles. Are you cooking instant noodles?"
Xiaofang came out of the bedroom, "I'll come, I'll come, I'll cook."
"It's okay, you can go to bed." Lin Yutong dismissed Xiaofang. There was no reason to ask the nanny to get up in the middle of the night to cook.
Xiaofang glanced at the kitchen worriedly, as if she was afraid that the three children would burn the kitchen down.
Lin Yutong yawned and looked into the kitchen. He was really cooking instant noodles.
She didn't know when this instant noodles started to bloom everywhere. You can buy them everywhere.
In the past, she controlled not to let the children eat it. After all, this stuff is not nutritious. But not to mention, regardless of adults and children, knowing that it is not nutritious, they still miss its taste occasionally.
For example, three children cook instant noodles in the middle of the night.
"What did you drop to the ground? Don't cut your hand." The fourth master went in and took a look, and saw that he had broken a little of the skin of a porcelain basin. He waved his hand, "It's okay. I'll cook another bowl by the way..." He said
, looked at Lin Yutong, "Do you want it?"
Lin Yutong shook his head, "I won't eat."
"Then add an extra bowl and put in an extra egg." Fourth Master ordered the child, turned on the light in the living room, and sat on the sofa with Lin Yutong to wait.
After a while, Ye Sheng came in with a basin of instant noodles.
Yusheng took the chopsticks and said nonchalantly: "This is so convenient, you don't have to wash so many dishes."
Five packs of instant noodles and ten eggs were eaten by the father and son at twelve o'clock in the evening.
"You should quickly adjust your schedule." Lin Yutong sent them to bed, "When school starts, we can't still be such a night owl."
When I went to work the next day, I met my fat aunt. She pulled Lin Yutong away without saying a word, "Why don't you hurry up and ask for leave? I've been anxious to ask for leave these two days. If I delay any longer, there will be nothing left."
"What are you asking for leave for? What's left?" Lin Yutong was confused.
"You have really become a god, and you don't want to live in this world anymore." Before Fat Aunt said anything, Sister Hong hurriedly came down from the office building, "I have already asked for leave. Hurry up. Let's go together. Let's take care of your house.
Yin Zhen also calls."
With that said, he left again like the wind.
The fat aunt was also anxious, "Price will rise across the board on September 1st, you don't know. You said everything has gone up now, but wages haven't gone up. If you don't buy now, you don't know what the price will be like later? Buy something and save it."
Just think of it as a preservation of value. Hurry up."
Isn't this nonsense?
But when I went to the office, I saw that they really weren’t working anymore.
The fourth master also came back from the office, "Why don't we go back to the city for two days? We won't buy it, so as not to make others think we are weird."
So the two took their children and returned to the city.
But when we arrived at Yin's house, we still hadn't sat down yet. Lin's mother called.
"It doesn't matter whether you buy it or not, I have to buy it. You drive and help pull the things." Lin's mother was very anxious on the phone. She seemed afraid that she wouldn't be able to buy it.
Only when we got to the mall did we realize that it was really crowded. There were people queuing up everywhere.
Mother Lin ordered everyone to line up in a line.
Lin Yutong got in line and waited for more than an hour. When it was his turn, he saw that he was selling pots and basins.
Why would anyone save all these pots and pans when they have nothing to do?
Let’s talk about what’s in front of us. There are all kinds of models, big and small. How to buy them?
She shouted to Mother Lin on the other side: "How many should I buy?"
"It doesn't matter what it is, just buy one." Lin Ma's voice was brighter and full of confidence when she spoke.
With so many pots and basins, when will they be used? Besides, in the next two years, all kitchen utensils will be updated. There are so many non-stick pots and smokeless pots, why buy them?
But remembering Mother Lin's anxious look, she still pointed to the pot and basin, "One of the same."
So, Lin Yutong walked out with difficulty holding six pots and five pots stacked together.
When I got to the car, I saw that the fourth master was carrying a box of something unknown and was about to put it down.
"What did you buy?" Lin Yutong put down the things and asked the fourth master who was rubbing his shoulders.
"A box of wool pants, fifty pairs." Fourth Master kicked the box, "It's quite heavy."
Fifty articles?
When should I wear it?
"It's good. Anyway, if you wear this thing inside, it doesn't matter whether you are male or female." The old lady came over panting, holding two cardboard boxes in her arms.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master quickly caught it, "What are you buying?"
"Two hundred pairs of socks. Each of you will share these items one by one, and each family doesn't have much. Of these clothes, shoes, and socks, the most expensive item is the socks." Mother Lin rubbed her arms. She felt that she had finally accomplished something big.
Sister Lin grabbed two boxes of autumn clothes and long trousers, "These things can't be stored bad. Just leave them." They are enough to last half a lifetime.
Immediately after, Father Lin, eldest brother-in-law, Sister-in-law Lin, and several children all came out carrying things.
There was washing powder, soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste, toilet paper, and Yusheng was holding a lot of insoles. Everything was available.
Finally, Brother Lin came out carrying a bag of edible salt, weighing fifty kilograms.
"Oh my God, what are you trying to do? Our family can open a store." Brother Lin complained.
Mother Lin disagreed, "You have lived a good life, and you don't know the hardships of not being able to buy things all those years. I keep these things, and I feel at ease."
In the end, the van was almost full of goods. There was no room for people anyway, so the Fourth Master drove away alone. The rest of the people took taxis back.
The place at home was crowded, and there was no room to put these things.
Anyway, no matter what, I just thought of it as making the old lady happy.
"It's all the trouble caused by these officials. In the end, the people have to foot the bill. They deserve to be killed!" Lin Yutong said angrily.
Fourth Master nodded and said nothing.
Who would have thought that when I returned home, an official would actually come to my house.
Hu Feng's younger brother, Hu Huai, is sitting at home.
Guo Yonghong is accompanying guests.
The old man is not here, Yin Kun is in Hainan, and the fourth master is not at home either. He is my sister-in-law's brother after all, and he is always a visitor. Yin Wei called and called Guo Yonghong back.
Seeing the fourth master coming back, Guo Yonghong stood up. He is now the deputy director of the police station and is very busy. The key is that everyone is rushing to buy things, and they have to watch. There must be a lot of thieves, and they have to guard against crowding.
Got it, stepped on it. It’s all a matter of course. I really didn’t work hard.
Before leaving, he called Fourth Master aside in a low voice, "This kid ran away after committing a crime. The procuratorate is investigating this kid's account. Don't ask him to stay at home too long, and send him away as soon as possible."
Fourth Master nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then he sent Guo Yonghong to the door and watched him leave on his broken bicycle.
"I heard that the second brother went to Hainan." Hu Huai asked the fourth master.
The Fourth Master nodded, "I'm going there to have a look. After all, it's a newly built province."
"Do you know where it is in Hainan?" Hu Huai asked quickly.
"Who knows about the ends of the earth?" Fourth Master poured a cup of tea and said, "I was here a few days ago, and then moved to another place in the next two days. I shot and moved to another place, saying that it was like them. Besides,
It seems that the conditions there are quite difficult. Sometimes I live in a shack and eat instant noodles three times a day to look at land. You people! You have enough money to spend. What do you do with so much money? You can't bear this.
It’s painful, why bother?”
Hu Huai shook his head in disapproval, "You can't say that. This guy, right? He really doesn't have enough when it comes to money. Just like me before, I said earning 50,000 is enough, and I don't have to worry about anything in this life.
. But I have 50,000, and I thought about 100,000. 100,000 is good. If I have 100,000, I can deposit it in the bank. Just one year’s interest, seven or eight thousand yuan, can be spent no matter what. But I really have it.
One hundred thousand, people are thinking about half a million or one million. Then they are full of energy, and they really run wherever they have money. If they are tired to death for money, they are willing to do so. Don't look at ordinary people buying things.
It’s a waste of money, but the people have money now. Haven’t you read the newspaper? It says that the central bank’s deposits exceed 100 billion.”
He said and sat up, "Our company went abroad for inspection last year, and I went with him. I stayed abroad for half a year. You said that people's consumption concepts are different. People who earn ten yuan dare to spend a hundred yuan.
.This is called advance consumption. As for the common people in our country, when they have money, they don’t use it. Save money! Just like the old landlord in the past, he would rather hide the money in the mouse hole than use it.
.No matter how rich people are, they are not willing to be extravagant. They will never spend a dollar on something that can only cost a dime to make ends meet. In their view, it is a waste."
"I understand now. I have to learn from these rich people. It's stupid to make money with your own money. Besides, no matter how much money you save, hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands will be enough."
If you use these as capital, when will you be able to earn enough money? You really need a loan. These days, the brave will be starved to death and the coward will be starved to death."
He picked up the cup on the table and drank the tea, "I heard that there are people buying land in Beihai, Guangxi?"
The news is really well-informed.
The Fourth Master laughed a little and shied away: "You're talking to me about business, you're really talking to a cow. I'm a scholar, so I don't know what's going on here. Even if I do know, it's only half-understood. I can't take it as true if I hear it from hearsay."
.Stop misleading you."
Hu Huai smiled knowingly, "It's like this for you cultural people, you never speak your words to your satisfaction. I understand!"
The fourth master smiled and did not explain. He stayed for a meal and then sent him away happily.
Two days later, Hu Huai came to say goodbye again. This time, he really got up and went to Beihai...
