Chapter 783 The best old friend
Wang Ju rushed back from the He family villa, and naturally missed the He family representative who visited the hospital again. He learned from his wife and son that the He family representative knew that the He family paid The money for the ambulance was used to help Wang's family pay 50,000 yuan in hospital fees in advance. At the same time, he also sent a pill. I heard that it was one of the return gifts given to the He family by the adopted grandson of the Chao family at Mr. Chao's birthday party last year. It was a detoxification pill.
Knowing that the He family generously sent pills, Director Wang was not only not surprised, but also extremely depressed. It was understandable that the He family took the initiative to bear the hospitalization expenses. After all, their old man had an accident at the He family. As the owner, the owner has the responsibility to bear the risk of accidents caused by the guests.
However, the meaning behind sending pills is definitely not out of friendship, but a potential sign that from now on, apart from official and ceremonial interactions, the He family and the Wang family will have no more interactions in private. Even if there is a private banquet, the He family will not invite their family again. After all, the He family is not a pill manufacturer, and it is impossible to give pills to drunken guests every time.
Also because their old man was drunk at Mrs. He’s birthday party and was rude. If he wants to follow the He family’s path in the future, he can’t do it by saying a few words of kindness in front of the Chao family’s little righteous grandson. Chao It was also difficult at home. After all, last night was not only a favor to the He family, but also a favor to the Chao family brother. It was impossible for Mr. Chao to help them speak kind words in front of his sister.
Last night, the old man got drunk and was impolite, causing huge potential losses.
Now that things have come to this, Director Wang can’t complain about his father. He immediately goes for discharge surgery and goes home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. After taking the pills sent by the He family, he will come back to experience it after the festival. It depends on the situation whether hospitalization is needed.
The people of the Great Celestial Dynasty have always had the custom of giving gifts on festivals. Whether they are rich or noble, they visit relatives on important festivals to enhance their feelings. The Mid-Autumn Festival is no exception. In urban and rural areas, good friends People either give each other gifts, have gatherings, or walk around.
The customs of Jiudao Township are basically similar to the trend. On some festivals, you have to visit relatives to give gifts. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, a newly married girl usually has to give a Mid-Autumn gift to her parents’ family, or take her parents to her husband’s house to celebrate the festival. , Yueqing also followed the custom and sent a moon cake to the mother-in-law's house first.
The National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays are long, Zhou Chunmei and Zhou Tianming also returned home on the National Day. Zhou Chunmei went to Lejia several times on the first day and the next day after returning home, and found that she ate the same as herself. The family is pretty much the same, nothing special, and I don’t like to go there. Instead, Zhou Tianming often goes to his aunt’s house to visit his little cousin.
Brother Zhou originally wanted to take his mother back from Lejia before the National Day because the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, but his sister’s husband refused to let her. His mother was happy living in Lejia and didn’t want to go back. He didn’t force it and let her go. I live in Yueqing's house, and I, Zhang Poluo and others help build a house for the Leqing family.
Having money can make the world go round and build a happy home.The money for the house was in place, and the required bricks were also delivered. They were placed in the empty space in front and behind the original Liu's house. The steel bar store on the street had already cut the steel bars that Lejia needed and could move them back at any time. The cement, lime and river sand were also The owners helped deliver it to their home, and all the materials were ready before construction started.
After more than a month of hard work by the demolition and construction team, all the house walls built by the Liu family have been demolished. The work of cleaning up the brick walls and waste bricks has also been basically completed. It will be completed soon. Dig the foundation of the wall, and after laying the foundation, you can start building the wall.
Autumn is dry and very hot at noon. The demolition and construction team composed of Brother Zhou and others do not work under the scorching sun. They usually start work after two o'clock in the afternoon. After lunch, Brother Zhou, Zhang Poluo and Liu Lu When they go to Lejia to enjoy the cool weather, most of their work has to go through the door of Lejia. They often sit at Lejia before going to work together, or sometimes they wash their faces and hands in front of Lejia and take a rest before going home.
When the three of them arrived, little Leshan was sleeping, and they did not disturb the baby, because the Le family picked a lot of cucumbers, and the three brothers were restless, washing cucumbers and making vinegar to eat.
Just halfway through eating, I heard someone calling Yueqing outside. The voice sounded strange. Brother Zhou and his buddies ran out of the Lejia main room and saw a man about the same age as them walking out of the parking lot. He got off the motorcycle on the alley next to Lejia House and walked towards the eaves of Yueqing carrying a box of beautifully packaged mooncakes. The man was about 1.7 meters tall, with an ordinary Chinese character face and a big beer belly.
Looking at that person, Brother Zhou felt that he looked familiar. He couldn't remember it for a moment, so he said smoothly: "Yueqing is at home, come in and sit."
He just left with the moon cakes. The man who entered the roof of Lejia saw several people coming out of Lejia's house. His eyes fell on Zhou Xialong, and the expression on his face changed: "You are... Zhou Nilu, ah no, Zhou Xialong?"
"I remembered, you are Wang You who went to the paddy fields." Brother Zhou initially thought he looked familiar, but couldn't remember who it was. When he heard the other party calling his nickname "Zhou Nilu", Just know who is coming.
Xiashuitian Village and Meizijing Village are separated by a road, but they are not face to face. Starting from the direction of the county town, Meizijing Village is south of the middle of the township road, and Xiashuitian Village is on the township road. The tip of the tail.
Because they all live near Xiang Street, many people in the same town who are one or two years apart are almost all elementary school classmates. Wang Yu and Yueqing were also classmates in elementary school and junior high school. When Wang Yu was a child, his father had a waist. He suffered from stone disease and his family was very poor. When he was studying, he often asked Yueqing to borrow money.
Because Wang Yu and Yueqing were familiar with each other, the Wang family borrowed thousands of dollars from Yueqing one after another, but they never paid it back. Wang Tao's father's stone disease was also cured by Yueqing's father Lehong. Lehong knew that Wang Tao's family was in trouble and confiscated the Wang family's money for medicine.
When Yueqing’s leg was broken and the Le family was in urgent need of money, do you know what the Wang Yu family did? Haha, that family is obviously rich, no?Forget it, he lied and said that he didn't borrow the money from the Le family at all, and told the Le family that if the Wang family borrowed the money from the Le family, he would come up with an IOU to tell them.
In the past, people who borrowed money and things were all acquaintances. Who would ask someone to write an IOU? It was based on credit. Lejia never asked anyone to write an IOU when lending money, so naturally it couldn't be issued.
Before Yueqing broke his leg, Wang You and Yueqing were still working in the same electronic product factory in the same place in Gdong Province. Yueqing also approached Wang You personally, but Wang You simply avoided seeing him.
The Wang Tao family just cheated the Le family of money, and what was even worse was to add insult to injury behind the scenes, telling others not to lend money to the Le family, saying that the Le family was a bottomless hole, and the Le family was Borrowing money must never be repaid.
More than ten years have passed, and Brother Zhou has forgotten Wang Hao's name. Naturally, he didn't recognize him at first sight, because his nickname of "Zhou Nihao" is Wang Hao's. His elder brother gave him the nickname. The Wang brothers and the people in Xiashuitian Village called him the nickname the loudest, so they took their seats when they heard Wang Tao accidentally call him the nickname.
Recognizing who the person was, Brother Zhou’s face turned from sunny to gloomy, and he stared at Mr. Wang with a beer belly in a bad tone: “Why are you coming to my brother-in-law’s house?”
Zhou Xialong called out the name "Wang Yu", adding the prefix "Xia Shuitian" in front of it. Zhang Poluo and Liu Lu also quickly remembered who Wang Yu was. There were many people with the same name and surname. Jiudaoxiang Street There are two Wang Tuo. They live in different villages, so it is easier to tell them apart. Wang Tuo and Yueqing from Xiashuitian Village often went to Yueqing's house to play when they were classmates. In fact, it was more about eating and drinking than playing. Wang Tuo's parents were also very attentive to the Leqing family. , when something happened in Yueqing, the Wang family's attitude immediately changed, and they turned against each other faster than turning the pages of a book.
Recognized by Zhou Xialong, Wang Yu forced out a smile and greeted warmly: "Xia Long, I haven't seen you for many years, but you haven't changed at all. Unlike me, who works hard every day. , I’m getting old so fast, you don’t even recognize me anymore.”
“Don’t talk about it, I remember someone said that when I went to Lejia, I was afraid of getting my shoes dirty, so what happened in the future? You won’t urinate in the direction of Lejia, so why are you here now? Just go back where you came, lest the mud in front of Lejia’s door stains your expensive shoes. Uncle Le has passed away many years ago, and Yueqing did not study medicine. If your father You have suffered from lumbar stones again. There is no live Bodhisattva you are looking for in Lejia now. You went to the wrong place when you were looking for someone to get medicine. Go back to the hospital quickly. Don’t say it was Lejia that delayed your treatment opportunity. .”
Brother Zhou didn’t care whether he was from the same hometown or his classmates were different students. He directly shamed others. Zhang Poluo and Liu Lu grinned very unkindly. Zhou Xialong is not a normal talker. Especially many of them are honest and honest, but they are not easy to mess with. They are also straightforward and do not like to turn around when talking. They go straight.
It has been many years since the Le family incident. Zhou Xialong still remembered the little incident of Chen Sesame and rotten millet, and even if he exposed it, Wang Yu would lose face.His face turned red and he smiled: "Xia Long, I was young and ignorant back then. At this age, I also understand the hard work of being a parent. I know that I was really nothing back then. I won't pay you back now." ."
"Haha," Brother Zhou did not hide his disgust: "You said you want to pay back the money? I remember that you Wang You told people in Shiliba Village that your family had never borrowed music. You even swore that the Wang family would die if they borrowed the money from the Le family and didn't acknowledge the debt. Now you are saying to pay back the money. What kind of money do you need? When did you borrow it? Did you give Le's money? Did you write an IOU? Did you have any witnesses when you borrowed the money?"
Zhou Xialong kept holding on to the old things and even recited some old sayings. No matter how thick-skinned Wang Hao was, he couldn't stand it. His face turned red and he looked pleading. He turned to the other two people, hoping to help them break out of the siege, but the two people standing outside the gate of Le's house had no intention of helping them out, and were unable to advance or retreat for the moment.
Just when he was not sure whether to advance or retreat, he heard a woman’s voice coming from the house: “Brother, who is here?”
Hearing his sister’s words, Zhou Xialong immediately Looking at the window of the room facing the road, a smile appeared on his face: "Xiaofeng, did you wake up the baby? You continue to sleep with the baby. There are irrelevant people outside, so you don't need to worry about it. ."
"Leshan hasn't woken up yet. If you are a guest, please call Yueqing to greet you." Zhou Qiufeng was sleeping with her baby when she was woken up by the sound. She originally wanted to go see who it was, but after listening to her brother If you say it's insignificant, you really don't care.
"I know." Brother Zhou agreed with a smile, but he had one thought in his heart: This is not a guest, he is just a shameless second-rate guy. He would use a broom to greet him.
