Chapter 270 Suffering is a blessing (5400 words chapter)
Luo Xincheng was choked by his sister and felt very uncomfortable.
In addition, there was his classmate Gao Chengxiang behind him. It was Gao Chengxiang who suggested starting this business. The two of them usually played well. Luo Xincheng felt that he would not lie to him. What would happen if his sister said this.
The next moment, he said: "Sister, what are you talking about, that I am so stupid in your eyes?"
Xia Zekai knew that there was a classmate of his brother-in-law behind him, so he said: "Daughter-in-law, please stop saying a few words. The new classmate is also here. Quickly take out the bowl and eat first."
Her husband and brother came in, and Luo Xiyun realized that there was another person behind her. Knowing that she could save some face for her brother in front of outsiders, she hurried to the kitchen to get a bowl.
To say that Gao Chengxiang was really not feeling well at this time, Luo Xiyun's words just now were unintentional, but his thoughts were indeed not simple. At this moment, he always felt that his little thoughts were seen through by others, which was very wrong.
A taste.
While eating, he also felt that something was wrong, and even thought of finishing his meal and leaving.
He is not a cunning old man in the shopping mall, nor is he a sluggish person in the society. When he is not paying attention, some thoughts are shown on his face. Xia Zekai didn't care at first, but he found that his brother-in-law
This classmate’s eyes looked wrong when he looked at people.
In layman's terms, he didn't dare to look at people. Instead of giving the person a smile when his eyes met, he would quickly move away as if he was a thief with a guilty conscience. This made him feel confused.
"Xiao Gao, what's wrong with you? Or is the food not to your liking?" Xia Zekai asked him out of concern.
This was originally a very ordinary expression of concern, but Gao Chengxiang was immersed in his own world just now, and was suspicious of his surroundings. Suddenly, Xia Zekai called him "Xiao Gao", which frightened him as if everything was on the same level.
After a jump, he came back to his senses in a panic and looked at Xia Zekai, then Luo Xiyun and Luo Xincheng, their eyes full of confusion.
"Brother, you called me?" he asked confused.
Xia Zekai frowned slightly, but it didn't show on his face. He thought in his heart: "Isn't this young man a little evil?"
He had a question mark in his mind, but he still repeated what he just said.
After hearing what he said, Gao Chengxiang quickly waved his hand, took two more bites of the buns, and said, "Brother, the buns are delicious, and I'm pretty good too."
"Oh, it might be that I sat on the train all night and didn't have any rest. If I can't wait for dinner later, you and Xincheng can go to the second bedroom and rest for a while." Xia Zekai said.
Luo Xincheng was not in a hurry to leave, but Gao Chengxiang couldn't stay here anymore. After hearing what Xia Zekai said, he quickly said: "Brother, I have a cousin from my family here. I thought it was time to come over."
, I’ll go over there later and have a look, and then go back to Weicheng with Xincheng when I’m done.”
"Well, which community does your brother live in? I'll take you there after breakfast later." Xia Zekai was quite enthusiastic despite his presence.
Gao Chengxiang quickly shook his head: "My cousin lives in Bairuiyuan Community. Brother, you don't have to send me off. I can just take a taxi there."
This was the name of a community he saw on the road when he came by taxi just now. It sounded easy to pronounce, so he remembered it.
When Luo Xiyun heard the name, he said, "Your brother's home is in Bai Ruiyuan. It's really not that far. It's only a few kilometers away."
After finishing breakfast, Gao Chengxiang sat there for about twenty minutes, then said goodbye and left.
Xia Zekai paid a little attention and looked at him looking a little flustered and impatient to go out. He became more confused. Is our family so scary?
Luo Xincheng personally made a trip and sent his classmate downstairs, telling him to call him when he left.
In the room, Xia Zekai said to his wife Luo Xiyun: "Daughter-in-law, have you noticed that Xincheng's classmate is a little strange?"
"There's something wrong, isn't it? I also noticed it. He seemed a little afraid of me when he looked at me. It's really strange." Luo Xiyun was also puzzled.
"Well, when Xincheng comes back later, ask him what's going on." Xia Zekai said.
Luo Xincheng came back soon. When he opened the door and came in, he saw his sister and brother-in-law sitting on the sofa, so he called out: "Sister, brother-in-law."
"Xincheng, your classmate has left. It's so embarrassing to just invite them to have breakfast." Xia Zekai said.
Luo Xincheng smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, Lao Gao is gone, but it's really strange. I have never heard him say that he has a cousin in Qicheng!"
"Never heard of it?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Luo Xincheng nodded: "When I was waiting for the bus in Suzhou, I told him that I would come to Qicheng to see you and my sister. He said at that time that he would wait in Qicheng for me to go back to Weicheng together. It would be better if I took him with me.
I haven’t heard him mention that he has any relatives here.”
Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun looked at each other and communicated with their eyes for a while, confirming their guesses.
Luo Xiyun asked her brother: "Brother, what is your relationship with your classmate? Are you a junior high school classmate or a high school classmate? I have no impression of him."
"Sister, we are college classmates. We live in the same dormitory. His family is from Laizhou, Yancheng." Luo Xincheng said.
"Are you sure your classmate hasn't mentioned that he has relatives here?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Luo Xincheng nodded: "We have lived in the same house for three years, and I have never heard him mention it once."
"Then tell me why you two went to Sioux City to work during the summer vacation?" Luo Xiyun asked him.
Luo Xincheng didn't think much about it, and then told him about going to Sioux City to work during the summer vacation.
"Gao Chengxiang has a fellow in Sioux City who works in a machinery factory. He said that there is a lot of money working there, and he can earn three to four thousand yuan a month. Gao Chengxiang wanted to go there, and when he left, he said
He told me that I thought it would be a good thing to earn more, so I went with it."
After listening to her brother talk about working part-time, Luo Xiyun even praised him and thought it was quite normal.
The average salary in Weicheng and Qicheng is about 1,500, and the salary in the mechanical processing industry in southern cities is a little higher. Her brother also knows that he can earn more money, which makes her very happy.
At least he is sensible!
She asked: "Is there anything else?"
Luo Xincheng shook his head: "No more!"
Xia Zekai said: "Daughter-in-law, forget it, maybe we are overthinking it."
"Yeah!" Luo Xiyun blinked, still feeling something was wrong.
Luo Xincheng muttered: "Sister, what's going on with you and your brother-in-law? Why do you keep asking me about my classmates?"
"It's okay, I just think your classmate is not easy." Luo Xiyun said casually.
Luo Xincheng nodded: "It's definitely not simple. Lao Gao has a lot of brains. Before we came back, he didn't want to come back. He was thinking of starting a business and opening a yoga studio in Sioux City."
Having said this, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "He is very loyal. We usually play well, and he even wants to start a joint venture with me."
At this point, Luo Xincheng said again: "Sister, didn't I call you yesterday to borrow money? You didn't lend it to me, so I came back..."
Suddenly hearing her brother talking about this matter, Luo Xiyun's eyes widened and asked him: "You said that your classmate wants to start a business with you?"
Luo Xincheng nodded, and said excitedly: "Sister, you don't know, Lao Gao is really good. He inspected it for a long time. After he told me, I also went to see it. In Su
There are indeed a lot of people practicing yoga in that part of the city. The two of us even found a rental house together. The rent was not expensive, 5,000 yuan for three months. We planned to rent the house and then hire someone.
Teachers who teach yoga can hold a opening event to promote it, and then they can build a yoga studio, which will make real money in the future, hey!"
At the end of the sentence, he sighed, as if he was blaming his sister for not lending him money and delaying his fortune.
Xia Zekai asked him with great interest: "Xincheng, tell me, how much money did your classmate raise?"
"Brother-in-law, I didn't borrow money from my sister, so I don't have the nerve to ask him how much he asked for for my family." This is what Luo Xincheng said.
He still feels that the opportunity is fleeting and he can make money if he seizes it. Now that he has missed this opportunity, it will be hard to say what he will do in the future.
Xia Zekai went to the bedroom and winked at his wife Luo Xiyun.
Luo Xiyun also followed.
When they got to the house, Yatou and Tongtong hadn't gotten up yet. Xia Zekai said to his wife: "Daughter-in-law, there is something wrong with Xincheng's classmate, and we cannot have close friendship. Please give Xincheng a word of advice to keep away from that person."
.”
At this point, Xia Zekai smiled and said, "You were right about what you said this morning. I'm afraid Xincheng was betrayed and he doesn't even know what happened. He is still too naive."
"Well, I know, this brainless thing must have no idea what to say, and it caught people's attention. With just a few words, he was fooled into being unable to find his way around." Luo Xiyun also saw it.
The main thing is that Gao Chengxiang, like her younger brother, has just left school and doesn't know how to hide it, so many things are displayed on her face.
After talking to Xia Zekai, Luo Xiyun went out to chat with her brother alone.
Xia Zekai woke up the two little sisters who were still sleeping on the bed.
"Dad, I'm still taking a nap!"
"Hate it, I don't like dad anymore."
The two little sisters were very angry when they got up, but in the end they asked their father to help them get dressed and tie their hair in braids.
After coming out of the bedroom, she saw that there was someone else in the house. The girl had a better memory than her sister. It didn't take long for her to remember that Luo Xincheng was here, and she shouted happily: "Uncle!"
"You're such a good girl, uncle bought you Wangzai milk!" Luo Xincheng pointed to a box of Wangzai milk at the door and said.
Tongtong turned around and looked at Wangzai Milk. She didn't even shout, and immediately rushed over to open the box.
She couldn't get rid of it at all, and she didn't know how to do it. She was so anxious that she kept shouting: "Dad, I want to drink."
"This child, you only know how to eat, but you don't know how to call me uncle!" Xia Zekai said to her.
The little chubby girl then called out "uncle" with a smile, but she didn't look sincere at all.
"Tongtong, do you think you're asking for a beating?" Xia Zekai raised his palm to scare her.
While Luo Xiyun was waiting for the girl and Tongtong to eat, Luo Xincheng's cell phone rang. It was a fake phone with a loud voice. When he saw that it was Gao Chengxiang, he picked up the call.
"Lao Gao, you have arrived at your brother's house!" Luo Xincheng glanced at his sister, still not believing what his sister just said to him.
But he didn't deny everything. When his sister told him, Luo Xincheng also felt that something was wrong with his classmate who slept with him.
"No, I just took a taxi and called my cousin. He said that his family went back to his hometown of Laizhou. Unfortunately, there was no one at home. I thought I would take a taxi back to Weicheng first. Thank you for your hard work.
Come to Qicheng and stay at your sister's house for a few more days."
"Well, your brother is not at home, then come back and find me." Luo Xincheng was 80% inclined to what her sister just said.
It’s okay not to think about some things, but if you pay a little attention, you won’t be able to withstand scrutiny.
How could there be so many coincidences?
He guessed that Gao Chengxiang must have refused to come back now.
Sure enough, Gao Chengxiang said: "I think it's better to go back to Weicheng directly, so as not to cause trouble to your sister and brother-in-law. It would be better for you to stay for a few more days. We don't have any classes anyway. I'll wait for you to come back and find a job together."
Work first, then save money to start a business.”
"Okay, please take your time on the road." After Luo Xincheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Luo Xiyun and Xia Zekai looked at each other and mentally confirmed their judgment just now.
After Luo Xincheng hung up the phone, he felt a little depressed.
He originally thought that there were so many bullshit things among his classmates. They were just students who had not yet entered society and needed so much care and calculation, but he had to admit that this happened to him.
"Xincheng, do you want to take a nap? If you don't want to sleep, let's go out to play together after they finish eating." Xia Zekai said.
Luo Xincheng couldn't sleep. He said, "Brother-in-law, I took a nap on the train and I'm not sleepy now."
"Okay, let's go out after a while."
…
Lushan is one of the four high mountains in Jidong Province. The scenery is average, but it is better to go to the top of the mountain at this time. It is windy and cool!
Xia Zekai drove the three of them and his brother-in-law Luo Xincheng directly to the mountainside. After parking the car in the parking lot, Xia Zekai pointed to the top of the mountain not far away and said, "Let's go up and have a look, and then go there again."
Light incense sticks in the temple, and then go to the town ahead to eat the special whole lamb here."
When Tongtong saw that she was going to climb the mountain again, she immediately stretched out her little hand towards Xia Zekai: "Dad, hug me."
When Xia Zekai heard his daughter's cry, he immediately felt that his legs were cramping, and they kept swaying, which was fatal.
Fortunately, it's not far from the top of the mountain. You can reach your destination in less than 100 meters by following the artificially dug stairs.
Luo Xincheng volunteered to hold the girl, and the girl ran directly towards her mother: "I want my mother to hold me."
Luo Xiyun didn't want to hug her at this moment. She said, "Let daddy hold you."
"Okay, okay!" The girl ran towards her father again.
Xia Zekai wanted to give himself a slap in the face. He couldn't have fun anywhere, so he had to go hiking again.
"Tongtong, come down too, let's walk up together." Xia Zekai coaxed the second child.
But it doesn't work.
Tongtong said nothing and refused to come down. When Xia Zekai bent down to put her down, Tongtong tightly held her father's neck with her small hands. Her legs were in the air and she bent her knees. Even if her legs were on the ground, she would rather kneel on the ground.
Don't let go.
Xia Zekai was completely at his wits end this time and held her in his arms again.
When Luo Xincheng saw it, he hugged the girl regardless of her objections.
Luo Xiyun was also beside him and said: "Girl, be obedient and let your uncle hold you."
She was obedient this time.
He stayed in his uncle's arms obediently and stopped making trouble.
There is a stone tablet on the top of the mountain, which writes the history of Mount Lu and its altitude. Next to it is a simple-looking temple. There is a hole on the top of the temple, which is exposed to wind, sun, rain and snow.
There is no shortage of samples.
The family also stood in a circle around the stone monument and asked a passerby who came to play to help take two photos.
Near noon, they walked down the wooden plank road from the top of the mountain. After reaching the middle of the mountain, they went to the temple here to burn two sticks of incense without making any wishes.
On the contrary, there is a large tree that looks bare in the temple yard. There are many red silk cloths tied on the branches. Some of the red silk cloths have heart-shaped red tips under them. Xia Zekai also went to Miao Zhu to buy some and brought them back.
He and his wife tied the branches together.
After finishing their work, they drove down Mount Lu.
Eat the most authentic whole lamb in a restaurant in town not far from the foot of the mountain. Drink warm lamb soup, eat fresh lamb and haggis, sprinkle with coriander leaves, and scoop out a spoonful of red chili oil.
, don’t have a taste.
While eating, Luo Xincheng suddenly said: "Sister, I'm thinking of finding a job in your factory. I'll get familiar with it first. Can you take a look?"
When he said this, both Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun were stunned. Why did this child suddenly figure it out?
"Have you thought about it?" Luo Xiyun asked him.
Luo Xincheng nodded: "Sister, I've thought about it. It's a one-year internship anyway. You can follow the school's arrangements or find it yourself. The school doesn't care about this, so I won't go back."
"You have always told me that your company is very formal in all aspects. I want to make good use of this internship year to learn something."
Listening to the fact that her brother was not hot-headed for a moment, but had really calmed down and had his own thoughts, Luo Xiyun smiled and nodded: "Okay."
"Sister, do you have dormitories in your factory?" Luo Xincheng asked again.
Luo Xiyun said: "Yes, do you want to live in the dormitory?"
"Well, I'll live in the dormitory. It's convenient."
Xia Zekai also said to him: "It's not like we don't have room to live at home, why are you going to the dormitory?"
Luo Xincheng kept shaking his head: "Brother-in-law, please stop trying to persuade me."
He also had a stubborn temper, so Xia Zekai ignored him.
Luo Xiyun even forgot to eat mutton. She held her chin and thought for a while, then said: "I want to think about which position is more suitable for you."
"Sister, I studied mechanical design and automation, and I can also do CAD drawing. In the past month and a half, I also learned lathe processing from others in Sioux City. It is no problem to process non-standard parts. Which position is suitable for you?" Luo Xincheng
This time I feel really at ease.
He realized that when it came to his roommate Gao Chengxiang, he still had too much immaturity and was not good at doing things. He had to calm down and learn something.
As for the sales job that he had been thinking about before, Luo Xincheng no longer cared about it.
There are too many things to learn. He agrees with what his sister said. Only formal companies can learn more things.
"Why don't you go to the maintenance place, or go to the grinding tool place? I remember that the grinding tool place seems to be buying a machining center. If you are familiar with lathe operation and can read pictures, you can go there and give it a try."
Luo Xiyun thought for a while and told him.
Luo Xincheng was not picky at all at the moment. He said: "Sister, I will go wherever you tell me to go. Can I go for an interview tomorrow, Monday?"
"Let's do it on Tuesday. Adli conducts interviews on Tuesday morning. I'll go and tell Manager Yang of Grinding Tools tomorrow, and then the interview will be a formality." Luo Xiyun is not pedantic at all, otherwise the last supply chain meeting
When manager Zhang Nian asked her to help arrange an employee, she readily agreed.
Especially in foreign companies, favors are always easy to use.
As for the theory that all things are consequential, hey, just coax the ignorant children!
