It is often used to describe a beautiful state of harmony between husband and wife who have just been married.
But as the era enters the 21st century, the west wind blows eastward, and the foreign cohabitation style quietly blows into the land of China. Many young men and women, even if they are not married yet, have tasted the state of newlyweds in advance.
Just like Xu Tongdao and Bu Yinghui who officially live together.
Eating together, working together, sleeping together, spending time together day and night, being inseparable, how different is it from living together as a young couple?
Not much difference!
They were very happy when they just started living together. What they saw in their eyes were often the advantages of each other. After all, they made each other happy almost every night.
This happy state, late one night, reminded Xu Tongdao of a very old song - "Happy Hometown".
He didn't know why he thought of this song. He obviously couldn't remember any lyrics of this song.
The sweet cohabitation life without shame or shame gradually changed his mentality.
He began to feel that it would be great if he and Bu Yinghui could live like this for the rest of their lives.
As the saying goes: Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes.
However, even though Xu Tongdao, a man of two generations, was immersed in the sweet cohabitation life, he was still thinking about his planned plan for this year.
In his heart, career and making money still come first.
No, in early April, when he returned home for the Qingming Festival, he said to Ge Lianghua that night when he was having dinner with Ge Lianghua: "Cousin, the popularity of our new store has almost stabilized.
The funds are almost saved, and we should prepare for the fifth Internet cafe! You should work harder these two days and go find a venue first! What do you think? Is it okay? "
Today is April 5th, the second day of Qingming Festival this year.
It has been exactly one month since his third Internet cafe opened.
Although it has not been long since the opening of his fourth Internet cafe, the money he has saved is almost the same.
As for the specific number?
Hmm, probably almost 90,000!
Unbelievable?
But it's true.
After all, from the preparation to the opening of his fourth Internet cafe, he used all the funds he had prepared long ago, and did not use the profits of his previous three Internet cafes and barbecue restaurants in the past month.
Xiao Jiuwan... opened a new Internet cafe. At first glance, it seemed a little less. It had less funds than the four Internet cafes he opened before.
However, Tongdao Xu felt that enough was enough.
At least it can be used as start-up capital to start formal preparations for the fifth Internet cafe, because it takes time to rent a house and decorate a new Internet cafe.
During this period, the four Internet cafes and barbecue restaurants under his name will continue to make money for him. In his estimation, when the renovation of the fifth Internet cafe is completed, he should have tens of thousands more on hand.
RMB 10,000, plus the existing funds, is completely enough to purchase more than 30 new computers.
"So fast?"
Ge Lianghua was surprised.
Bu Yinghui, who was eating in the kitchen with them, was also surprised. She looked at Comrade Xu with surprised eyes, "Really or not? Where did you go to borrow how much money?"
In her eyes, there was not only surprise, but also a little fear.
During the days when she and Xu Tongdao were living together, she had already heard Xu Tongdao say that at present, the four Ximendao Internet cafes could be opened with basically borrowed money.
She also grew up in a rural area, so she naturally knows what bagging money is.
The interest rate will increase every day.
Growing up, she heard too many stories about people who ended up in debt jail just because they took money from their wallets, and they couldn't pay it back for many years.
She was very worried when she heard from Comrade Xu that the opening funds for the fourth Internet cafe were mainly package money.
However, I gradually let go of that worry.
Because she knows that the four Internet cafes currently opened by Xu Tongdao are doing very well, and the business of the barbecue restaurant in Shazhou County is also very good. If he only owes a package of 100,000 yuan from outside, it should not be a big problem and he should be able to pay it off.
.
This is also a big reason why she is very happy living together with Xu Tongdao recently.
But at this time, she was obviously frightened.
——If Comrade Xu borrows another hundreds of thousands of dollars to open a new Internet cafe, then he will be borrowing new debts without paying off the old debts, and he will have to pay interest on them.
So how much money does he owe outside? Two hundred thousand? Three hundred thousand?
In her mind, two to three hundred thousand is a huge number.
Especially when she thought that this number would increase day by day due to interest increases, she felt even more panicked.
She subconsciously wanted to object.
Tongdao Xu saw her worry and smiled at her, "No! I didn't borrow any money this time. I saved it myself. Don't worry!"
"Did you save it yourself?"
Bu Yinghui's first reaction was disbelief.
I just borrowed money to open my fourth Internet cafe less than half a month ago. How can I save enough money to open another new Internet cafe so quickly?
Anyone who hears this will not believe it, right?
Comrade Xu nodded, "Yes! Really."
After saying that, Comrade Xu looked at Ge Lianghua again, "Cousin, you can go to Shui Niao Teachers College in the next two days and try to find one or two suitable venues near the school. Then take me to see them later!"
Shuiniao Teachers College is also a normal university.
It is the abbreviation of Shuifiao Teachers College.
As the name suggests, this college, like the College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, is also a vocational college. It has long been in Tongdao Xu's sight and was included as an alternative in this year's Internet cafe expansion plan.
Ge Lianghua nodded, "Okay! I'll go look for it tomorrow."
Comrade Xu smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Bu Yinghui on the side hesitated to speak.
…
After nightfall, Ge Lianghua drove to Ximen Road Internet Cafe No. 1 to rest.
After he left, Comrade Xu made a cup of tea, sat at the cashier, took out a high school history textbook, and read through it leisurely.
Ever since he opened a barbecue restaurant, he would read some high school textbooks when he had free time, and sometimes read about the art of war.
I have never let go of this habit.
Before his rebirth, he had suffered enough from his lack of education and cultural level. Although he still had no chance to go to high school or university in his new life, he did not give up studying.
Although he cannot get any diploma by reading books, the cultural knowledge he learns will become his nourishment, and the knowledge he learns will not cease to exist because he does not have a diploma.
So he kept at it.
Although he doesn't have much time to study, it accumulates over time. Although the progress is slow, as long as he keeps making progress, he is very satisfied.
What's more, without considering the diploma, he can freely choose whatever he wants to study. For some courses that he is not interested in or thinks are not that important, he can completely give up and only choose one or two, or two or three courses to study.
Such as Chinese, such as history, such as mathematics.
But tonight Bu Yinghui interrupted him, "Did you lie to me? Did you borrow the money again this time? Tell me the truth!"
