Chapter 42 Relatives and fellow passers-by
Qin Lan's grandfather's name is Chu Jingwei. He used to be a clerk of the Bincheng government agency. He retired at home with a deputy section-level treatment all his life. Now he is 67 years old. The greatest pleasure on weekdays is to listen to the play and watch TV and brag about how your children and grandchildren are promising. It is human's common feeling to expect his son to become a dragon. Zhang Zhenxing often brags about Zhang Duo's learning how to be good, but he is usually more euphemistic. But Qin Lan's grandfather is not like this. He often asks your child first. If it's not very good, he will first talk about how powerful his children and grandchildren are.
When eating, before the dishes were served, Chu Jingwei asked, "Lanlan, how is your midterm exam?"
Qin Lan's face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head and said, "The test is not good!"
Chu Jingwei said loudly, "Grandpa's ear, speak louder. How about the test site?"
A trace of shame and anger flashed on Qin Lan's face. Looking at the wrinkled grandfather, she said helplessly, "21 in class."
Chu Jingwei shook his head and said, "This can't be done, Lanlan! You have to work hard to move forward! You see, Brother Tianming was admitted to Huaxia People's University and worked in Songjiang Provincial Government after graduation. Your brother Tianshuang was admitted to Songjiang University of Technology. After graduation, he worked in Huaxia Electric Power Company, driving more than 1,000 yuan a month. Your little sister Alin also won the first place in the class and will also be admitted to a good university in the future. You have to learn from them!"
Chu Tianming, Chu Tianshuang is the child of his eldest son Chu Guoxiang's family, and Wei Yalin is the child of his youngest daughter Chu Yuhan's family. Originally, the work of the eldest son and the youngest daughter was also within the scope of his boast, but the other party was his granddaughter, so he had no choice but to remove it.
Qin Lan said helplessly and lowered her head and refused to speak. Chu Jingwei didn't care about his granddaughter. He said that he just wanted to satisfy his boasting desires. He had been miserable all his life and naturally wanted to find glory in his children and grandchildren.
There are nine people sitting at this table, Chu Jingwei, the eldest son Chu Guoxiang, the eldest daughter-in-law, grandchildren Chu Tianming and Chu Tianshuang. Second daughter Chu Yuwei and granddaughter Qin Lan. The youngest daughter Chu Yuhan and granddaughter Wei Yalin.
Chu Jingwei turned his face and chat with his two grandchildren and ignored Qin Lan, but the three brothers and sisters of Chu Guoxiang began to talk. Chu Guoxiang is a deputy section chief of the Bincheng Education Bureau. He has some power. In addition, his two sons are very promising, so his eyes are a little high. Not to mention Chu Yuwei and his wife, even if the family is well-off, Chu Yuhan and his wife don't like it, so Chu Yuhan's husband also hates to attend the Chu family banquet. If he can't come, he can find an excuse not to come.
Chu Guoxiang looked at Chu Yuwei with slanting eyes and said, "How is your shoe hall this year?"
Chu Yuwei said with a smile, "This year is still not good. As you know, there are few people in Xingshan City, and the business depends on surrounding farmers to go to the city to buy things. This year, the price of grain is not good, farmers have no money in their hands, and it is not easy to do business."
Chu Guoxiang despised that his sister said this every year. Obviously, she didn't have the mind to do business, but she still wanted to be strong. But he said, "It's okay to do business. Three times more poorer and five times richer, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi!" There will always be a day of transshipment.
Chu Guoxiang's daughter-in-law shrills and said, "Although this is the reason, the second sister has not seen the fifth watch for so many years. She always stays in Hedong, and I don't know which life can go to Hexi!"
Chu Jingwei said with a heartless smile, "My eldest daughter-in-law is quite good at throwing words." Then everyone at the table laughed. Chu Yuwei was ashamed, and Qin Lan's eyes turned red. She suddenly regretted why she didn't find Zhang Duo at the beginning. Even if she was looked down upon by Zhang Duo, she didn't want her mother to be hurt by her closest person, but Zhang Duo is now busy filming and doesn't know where she is. I guess no one answered his phone!
In the big private room not far from here, Zhang Duo was eating happily. He is a person who is never tired of eating and fine food. He has always been very picky about food, but recently he has been eating boxed lunches with the crew in filming, which really makes him greedy.
Jin Yuzhi looked at Zhang Duo's devouring, but she was a little distressed, but she said, "You're not a treat. You're going to eat everything back!"
Zhang Duo paused for a moment, then looked through by her and pretended to be mean and said, "You are really like a torch. This little thought has also been seen by you. There's nothing you can do. There is no surplus in the landlord's house!"
Jin Yuzhi looked at Zhang Duo with a playful expression and said, "Yo, you, a big boss with millions of dollars, sometimes you don't have money? It's too wrong to cry poor!"
Zhang Duo said solemnly, "Sister, I'm not crying and poor, I'm really poor!" The manuscript fee is quite high, but my father went there, saying that he wanted to do some business this year. I don't have any money in my pocket now. The rats came into my house with tears in their eyes. The thief had to throw two bags of noodles at my place during the Spring Festival!"
"Then remove your computer?" Jin Yuzhi said with a smile.
"Then he'd better stop throwing noodles and give food to those who need it more!" Zhang Duo suddenly found that the cowhide was accidentally blown out, but his face did not blush and his heart did not beat.
Jin Yuzhi giggled and said, "A Duo, your mouth is really poor, hehe!"
Zhang Duo said with a serious look, "I'm only like this in front of people close to me. Not everyone deserves my smile!"
Jin Yuzhi sighed: "I didn't expect that I have a strong position in your heart?"
Zhang Duo also said with great emotion, "Although we were not very happy when we first met, in my heart, you are like my own sister."
Jin Yuzhi remembered that when she first met, she was almost looked at by him, chased Zhang Duo and beat him everywhere, and threw him out of the room. At that time, I never thought that this scoundrel lazy guy would one day become a genius best-selling author, a 30 million martial arts director, and their relationship would become so close. But when I suddenly thought of Zhang Duo's sister, I suddenly felt a little sad and said with some interest, "I'm a little tired. Take me home!"
Although Zhang Duo didn't know why Jin Yuzhi suddenly lost interest, he called the waiter to settle the bill and went out with Jin Yuzhi.
Chu Yuhan works as an accountant in a state-owned enterprise, and his income is not bad. It's just that when the economic conditions were bad in the past few years, I was also looked down upon by the eldest brother's family. She was born to dislike the life of relatives and friends living better than herself. She flattered her eldest brother's family, but cursed in her heart.
Fortunately, my life has become much better in recent years, but my second sister has laid off her job and borrows money from her every year. She said some comforting words, but her heart was very happy.
Chu Yuhan pretended to be and said, "Second sister, it's okay. Who doesn't have a difficult time? It's over. Let's talk about my family. How miserable it was at the beginning. I didn't have any money for Alin to eat milk powder, and it's still the money you gave me by my second sister! If you want to use money, can you not bring it to you? It's just that the interest has to rise, and if my sister can't ask you for this interest, but you know how many times we have fought with me for this matter. I said that I wanted to release three cents of profit. I said that I had to keep the money for my sister. At least I agreed to two or five points. You don't know how many times my sister cried!"
Chu Guoxiang's daughter-in-law also said, "Second sister, your eldest brother is a good face and doesn't care much about money. Your sister-in-law is in charge of this family, but she can't do this well. Let's put it this way, both of your nephews have to prepare for marriage, so the interest has to rise to two-fifths. If you want to use it, you can take the money for you, and we can release it without us later.
Chu Yuwei has a gentle temperament and a kind nature. She has always attached great importance to the family relationship with her father and brother and sister, but at this time, her heart is full of bitterness. At present, the interest on private loans is generally a profit of two cents. Relatives often calculate one cent or five cents interest, while if the relationship is not good or there are some risks, it will rise to two cents five or three cents.
When her brother and sister use money, she doesn't want interest. And when she uses the money, the other party not only doesn't talk about family affection, but also has higher interest than the market price. Do you think I can't turn over in my life and look down on our family?
Chu Guoxiang's daughter-in-law was stunned when she saw Chu Yuwei and thought that she thought the interest was high, and said unhappily, "Second sister, what do you mean? If you don't lend, I can also release three points of profit, and two or five points will be given for the sake of our relatives!"
Chu Yuwei said in her heart, even if you want to raise interest, can't you carry the children behind your back? Do you have to fall into the face of my elder? But he had to grit his teeth and endure crying, "I'll lend it!"
Qin Lan was so angry that she said in her heart that there was any difference between this kind of relative and passers-by. But he couldn't stand it anymore. He got up and pushed the door and walked out. He didn't want to crash into the arms of a passer-by. He was shocked. She looked up and saw that it was Zhang Duo, who she was thinking about night. At that moment, tears were about to flow out and she shouted happily, "Aduo, why are you here!"
Zhang Duo and Jin Yuzhi walked out and prepared to go out. After sending her home, they went to Xingshan to see Qin Lan, but they didn't know that Qin Lan had come to Bincheng. A girl came out of the next door and bumped into his arms angrily, but it was Qin Lan who he missed so much. At that moment, his true feelings were revealed. He hugged Qin Lan with joy and said, "Lanlan, why are you here? I still want to see you later!"
The two met happily as if no one else was beside them, and they were all suspicious. Although Chu Jingwei's ears are back, his eyes are not blurred. He sat in the main seat, facing the door, and saw it clearly. At that moment, he shouted, "Lanlan, who is the man holding you? Tell him to come in and talk!"
Qin Lan suddenly woke up when she heard this. She remembered that everyone in her grandma's family was watching. When she saw Zhang Duo, she saw Zhang Duo's happy face and was all seen, but she was ashamed and angry that she couldn't wait to find a seam to get in.
Zhang Duo patted Qin Lan, motioned her to get up, turned to Jin Yuzhi and said wait for me, and then pulled Qin Lan into the room and said, "Dear elders, I'm Zhang Duo, Qin Lan's classmate. I'm very happy to bump into her here. On the same time as your family banquet, I will give a toast to your elders, and then I won't disturb you.
Chu Jingwei said with a smile, "Oh, okay, come on, everyone is full, full."
Qin Lan filled her glass with beer, and Zhang Duo drank it all and was ready to leave. Chu Jingwei said, "Little classmate, don't go, don't go, sit down and talk. You are Lanlan's classmate. So how many people will you take the midterm exam?"
