Chapter 14 14

Seaweed witnessed the whole process of her sister from love to marriage.The first time I met my brother-in-law was my sister’s sophomore winter vacation. My sister brought Su Chun back to her hometown from Shanghai, and the three of them walked around the town in cotton-padded jackets.At that time, Haizao was so envious of her sister, she got rid of the heavy schoolwork and began to enjoy life.There is someone who can hold her hand, chat with her about movies, art, literature and painting, tell beautiful historical stories, and share a sweet potato with her. It's only been a few years! That handsome big boy has turned into a man, his back is a little arched, and his forehead is starting to light up.

And the elder sister, the beautiful elder sister, from the soft-spoken little bird in Yiren, with a graceful figure, to the pregnant bucket, and now she has to drag her breasts into the bra when she wears a bra, saying: "It sucks and sags." And told herself Don't buy low-rise pants, because her waist is full of lines and can't be exposed; then speak loudly and often reprimand the man she once admired like a prince. "So, marriage, marriage is the tomb of love." Haizao sighed, "And me and Xiaobei, will it be the same? And will I become a sister in the future?"

Secretary Song leaned back on the sofa in a private room of a certain tea room, looking very relaxed, completely different from his usual rigor.He is talking to another person. "Boss! Now I have picked up a hot potato! This piece of land has just been put under bid, and the house price is showing signs of falling. Wenzhou real estate speculators have run away, and overseas buyers are not so enthusiastic. Recently, the policy is under regulation, and my hand The sales of the three real estate properties in Lili have not been very good in the past two months. It is useless to increase the advertising efforts. People who buy houses are waiting and watching. Please help me ask the higher-ups! These measures introduced by the state have a great impact on housing prices. What should I do? It made me feel depressed, if the land at hand is lost, we will die."

Secretary Song replied: "House prices are actually an indicator, a leading indicator of whether the economy is growing or slowing down. We are also very concerned about it. In my opinion, the housing prices cannot fall. When the house rises like a tide, it falls like a mountain. In case of a fall, the shocks caused are immeasurable and will affect the overall situation. You should think of a way to see if you can unite with several other leaders to temporarily heat up the market. The key is to have popularity. The market or something, just Relying on popularity, the atmosphere is warm, and you are not afraid that people will not come. Besides, there are still many people with money in their hands, but as soon as there is a trend of falling prices, they will stop, and they will not enter the market with currency in their hands. Now you You have to be responsible for making them feel that it is still attractive, and there is still room for price increases.”

When the man heard this, he got excited: "Boss, when you said that, I remembered that the trick I used before didn't work anymore. The second phase of the royal family opened, and we recruited a lot of migrant workers to line up! They lined up all night, 50 yuan per person, but the effect is not ideal, and few people follow suit. Two days ago, the boss of Tranquility Harbor told me that we should buy each other, go to the bank for a mortgage, and raise the house price by ourselves. I think about it I was a little scared, so I didn't do it. Think about it, if I buy his and he doesn't buy mine, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage? Besides, I always feel that our position is better than his, and I will take him later The room, maybe I can’t sell it.”

Secretary Song: "Since you were afraid of wolves and tigers in the past, you should buy your own house. Mark up the price and borrow more money. You will earn back just the down payment. For the rest, pay as much as you can. If you can’t afford it, let the bank collect it! Of course, maybe it won’t wait for you to supply it, maybe the price will go up again, and there will always be someone to take over. I can only say so much.” The man smiled: "Brother is brilliant! It's just, just, what if the bank refuses to lend?" "Why don't they agree? The wool comes from the sheep. You, lack of courage, are brave and foolhardy. It doesn't mean that you will gain something if you work hard. In addition to hard work, you must have a brain and learn how to operate capital. Do you understand? ?”

"Oh!" After drinking a little wine in the evening, he was sober but in high spirits. He refused other people's invitations to nightlife, and asked the car to be driven away. Song Siming wandered aimlessly in the streets. It has been a long time since there was such time and space, which only belonged to myself on foot.At night in Shanghai, the lights are full of feasting, pornographic men and women, and the air is filled with an ambiguous scent of lilac.Song Siming likes the alternation of light and dark in this ten-mile foreign market, and is fascinated by this kind of lazy walking.

Passing by a window, a doll displayed inside suddenly stopped Song Siming.This is a sweet doll in a blue nightgown with eyes closed, like a sleepwalking girl, that kind of expression that is thoughtful even in a dream, why is it so like a person-seaweed.Song Siming stood in front of the window and stared. Seaweed, how is she? Song Siming walked into the store and asked the clerk for a doll. When he paid the bill, he found that the price of the doll far exceeded the price of the money in his pocket.He took out a credit card and swiped it, and walked out of the store with the doll in his arms.

He stopped a taxi, took the doll with him, and headed for the seaweed's residence. He fantasized that maybe he was on the way, maybe the seaweed was just ahead, and then he pretended to meet by chance and stuffed the doll into her hand. The car was almost at the downstairs of Haizao's house, but there was no sign of Haizao.All chance encounters, if not arranged by God, are waiting for someone with a heart. 42-year-old Song Siming, holding a doll in his arms in disharmony, stood downstairs in the seaweed.It's not something a man his age should do.Forget it, go back. Song Siming stopped the car again with the baby in his arms, and drove into the night.He didn't notice that on the other side of the road, the seaweed was dragging its weary pace towards home.Many times, life is so disappointed in your expectations, and you miss the opportunity inadvertently.

Song Siming obviously couldn't take a big baby home, so he let the car drive directly into the office of the municipal party committee.After entering the room, he put the sleepwalking doll on the table, looked at the doll carefully, and smiled.I am so stupid. Haizao went upstairs, and when he opened the door of the living room, he was startled. People in the other room were having a banquet, and the house was full of guests. Xiao Bei was playing a computer game with earphones on his head. When he saw the seaweed, he quickly took off the earphones and said, "Why don't we go out for a walk? It's too noisy in the room."

Seaweed shook his head and said, "No, I'm tired and have been walking all day." Xiao Bei handed over the earphones: "Then you put the earphones on?" Haizao slammed the door angrily: "Why are you so unconscious! There are parties every three days! This house is not theirs! They even let the roommates rest!" Xiao Bei put his finger on his lips to suggest that the seaweed should speak softly: "Don't spoil people's interest, besides, it's still early, if you don't leave by 11 o'clock, I will bombard them." Seaweed did not speak, and endured the howling of the drake's voice outside. After a moment of silence, Haizao said to Xiaobei who was playing the game: "Do you think we will quarrel over money in the future?" Xiaobei asked loudly without looking back: "What?" Seaweed asked: "Xiao Bei, when will we have our own house?" Xiaobei took off the earphones: "Soon. Save for a year or two, and with your dad and my dad's funding, we can afford it." Haizao sighed and said, "You don't have to worry about my dad. My dad's money is all given to Haiping. Let's work hard on our own!" Xiao Bei smiled and said, "If we rely entirely on ourselves, we have only two ways out, one is to get rich overnight, and the other is to Kua Fu chasing after the sun." Seaweed asked: "What do you mean?" "That is to say, you can never catch up. Just like your sister and your brother-in-law, they are our role models." "Sister and the others bought a house today. They finally caught up. I went to see it, and I really liked it, except that it was far away. I hope that one day, we also have a house of our own! You don't have to compete with others for the toilet every day, and you don't have to listen to it. Other people's fun." "Hey? Didn't you always say you wouldn't buy a house before? Take your time! Rome wasn't built in a day, didn't so many people in this city come here? Besides, didn't you raise your salary? Ours Money is also going up." Haizao smiled wryly, yes, the money has risen inexplicably and inexplicably. Haiping lost her temper again.Recently, Haiping often loses her temper, and Su Chun doesn't follow the schedule she planned. "The sales office informed us that we have to pay the down payment, and it will be paid when the contract is signed. Has your parents' money arrived?" Su Chun was taken aback for a moment, then habitually touched the cigarette in his pocket, and as soon as he touched it, he saw Haiping's inquiring gaze. "It's here, don't worry, I took it with me when I signed the contract that day. Do you still want to see it now?" "As long as you talk about it, I will be relieved. However, the down payment is 20,000 yuan more than expected! This is terrible, where can I borrow 20,000 yuan? Hey, among your classmates, who can temporarily borrow 20,000 yuan?" ?” "Oh, forget it! It's okay to chat among classmates, don't mention money, it hurts feelings. If you are far from us, you won't talk to us, and if you are in the same situation as us, you can't afford it. I will Find a way, don't worry." "What do you think?" "Don't ask me any more. I'll ask my colleagues to join me." After speaking, Su Chun stepped on his shoes and wanted to go out to smoke a cigarette and think about the problem carefully. "Where are you going?" Haiping asked while folding the clothes. "Uh, I'm going to smoke." Su Chun wanted to talk about going for a walk, but his mind was out of control, so he interrupted. Haiping put down her clothes vigilantly, stood up, walked up to Su Chun and began to rummage through his pockets.Su Chun dodged left and right, not letting him touch it.Haiping finally seized the cigarette: "Okay! Su Chun! You actually show one thing but another! You, you, you!" Haiping threw the cigarette out of the window in a fit of anger.Su Chun immediately ran downstairs, picking up cigarettes without even turning his head. Haiping lay on the window sill to see Su Chun bowing his head to pick up cigarettes, feeling so resentful in his heart! Why did he find such a worthless man! After Su Chun came home, Haiping started a week-long silent operation. She had unilaterally decided not to talk to Su Chun. In Secretary Song's office.He was talking to a little girl: "Oh? This activity is still very meaningful, I'll see later. Hey? Why haven't I seen Guo Haizao from your company recently? Is she no longer in the company?" "Little Guo! She's been promoted to specialize in event planning and is no longer on the field." "Oh! That's right!" After the little girl left, Secretary Song thought about it, smiled, and took the initiative to call Chen Sifu: "Xiao Chen! I haven't seen you for a while. How have you been recently? Hehe. I'm sorry about the bidding last time." Ah! I didn’t help much. The main issue is the strength of the company. It’s inconvenient for us to intervene in administration. However, I take your matter to heart, and you can find Mr. Xu from Tianda Real Estate later. , he will take care of you. That’s it, contact me if you have any questions.” Chen Sifu on the other end of the phone said to himself: "Should the clouds open to see the sunrise! The treasure is still right!" He turned around and ran towards Tianda Real Estate. Haizao was packing documents in the office, and his colleague Xiao Liu ran over and said, "Seaza, Haiza! I went to Secretary Song today, and he asked about you!" "Oh?" Haizao asked suspiciously, "What did he ask me?" "He asked if you are still in our company, isn't it strange?" "Hehe." The director of the street neighborhood committee is in the office of the vice president of the Tianda Demolition Office. The vice president flipped through the brochures on the table and said, "Why haven't we even completed the registration and bookkeeping? We are running out of time, and you are not doing your job well!" The director of the neighborhood committee said: "Two-thirds of the people have registered, and the rest have not registered for various reasons. For example, the landlord of Room 302 on No. 15 has long since left the house. Changed, we couldn't contact her. Room 212, No. 17, was doing business outside, and I didn't come back for half a year. The old lady at home was deaf and confused, so I couldn't explain it. I already contacted them by phone, and they came back recently. The other is There are a few others who didn’t come to register after being urged several times, and there is no reason. In my opinion, these few are more troublesome.” "The registration has come to an end for the time being. If they don't register, you don't need to take the initiative to find them, otherwise it will seem that we beg him, and it will be even more difficult to deal with. When the neighbors around them move out one by one, the water and electricity are cut off, and the house Go home and tear down the house. When the time comes, the ground will be full of cockroaches, mice, and dust. If you don’t believe them, they won’t come to beg us. They don’t know how to flatter us now. If we look back later, there won’t be such a price. Come with me, let’s go. Look, let's see who is fierce!" At this moment, Chen Sifu walked in, smiling and respectful. "Mr. Zhang, uh, Mr. Xu asked me to come to you..." He gestured for a phone call. "Oh! Yes, yes. You came at the right time. I just need the cooperative unit to cooperate with the demolition. From now on, you will cooperate with the director of the neighborhood committee. To complete the demolition, there is still half a year to go, and the task is very arduous. This heavy burden is entrusted to you. If you complete the task before this deadline, you will be rewarded with 30,000 yuan for every day in advance. Go, go, go! Yes, as long as you do the demolition work well, the wiring project for this phase of the project will be yours." Chen Sifu smiled, feeling like a big pie fell from the sky.30,000 a day! Nearly 1 million a month! I want to finish it three to five months in advance, wouldn’t it be developed?His fingers have subconsciously started to twist the money. Just do it, without ambiguity. Chen Sifu returned to the office, summoned Xiao Liu and asked, "Did Secretary Song tell you anything today?" "He said this event is meaningful." "No?" "No." "It's gone?" "It's gone! Oh! He also asked if the seaweed is in our company anymore." "That's right! I said, there must be something else. You go first!" Chen Sifu thought for a while, and secretly said ruthlessly: "I can't bear the child, I can't trap the wolf." Then he opened the drawer, reluctantly took out a set of keys, and called Haizao: "Xiao Guo, come here. " Haizao came to the boss's office, and the boss ordered: "Xiao Guo! Please go to Secretary Song in the afternoon and give this to him." After speaking, he handed over an envelope.Seaweed looked at the boss suspiciously, so what should I say?The boss said: "You don't need to say anything, just give it to him." "Then he asked me, what should I say?" "He won't ask you, go ahead!" Haizao took the envelope to Secretary Song's office.Secretary Song was so busy that when he saw Haizao, he exclaimed in surprise: "Seaza! Oh! Xiao Guo!" Haizao smiled and said, "Seaza is me, and Xiaoguo is also me. Who do you want to see?" The boss asked me to send you something." After speaking, he handed the envelope in his hand to Secretary Song. Secretary Song took it apart and looked at it, then accepted it calmly, put it on the table, and didn't ask any questions. "Oh! Sleepwalking doll!" Haizao noticed the doll on Song Siming's desk. Song Siming caught the liking in Haizao's eyes. "Do you like it? Take it!" "That's okay! This is from Yoshitomo Nara! It's very expensive! It's great! It's so cool!" After speaking, he turned on the switch on the back of the sleepwalking doll, and the sleepwalking doll walked as if floating in the air. On Song Siming's desk, a blue doll walked around. "For you, this is of no use to me. I have been having a headache, how to deal with it! Look at the office of a big man like me, how can I put this thing?" "But where did you get it? It's a limited edition." "Others put it here. I think this suits you very well. As long as I see you, you are always absent-minded." "Have it?" "Yeah! By the way, who is Yoshitomo Nara?" "Ah! Yoshitomo Nara, you don't know it! You are so stupid, he is very popular now! He is a very famous cartoon designer in Japan, and the things he designs are very Q!" "Oh! Japanese! Then I can't let it go. Since you like it, you should take it! The beauty of a gentleman, we are all happy." "Haha! I can't tell that Secretary Song has an anti-Japanese tendency!" "Oh? This, this... If it is from the perspective of work, it does not exist. If it is from the perspective of personal emotions, it does not avoid it. By the way, Haizao, I have a business friend here who is a foreigner. For investment, I need to find a teacher who can learn Chinese, and I have been entrusting it to me for a while, but I have never thought of one who is suitable, do you want to give it a try?" "Me? I can't! My English is not good, and I have never had contact with foreigners." "I want to get in touch if I haven't been in contact with it before! What a great opportunity, with extra income and the ability to practice oral English. Don't be afraid, give it a try!" "No, no! I really can't. I get nervous when I see yellow hair, so forget it! How about I keep an eye out for you and see if there are any friends around who are willing?" "Okay! Then please, you have to take me to heart! I'm serious!" Secretary Song said with a pun. "Definitely." Seaweed turned and prepared to leave. "Hey! Bring the doll!" Song Siming stuffed the doll into Haizao's hands. "Then...thank you!" "you are too polite." Haiping suddenly looked like a different person, with a longing smile on her face, humming a song while doing housework after returning home. This week, Su Chun tried to talk to Haiping, but Haiping always stopped him lukewarmly.Haiping's change from cloudy to sunny made Su Chun very happy. "Is there any happy event?" Su Chun started talking again. Haiping was happy, but still refused to talk to Su Chun. "Are you still angry? Haiping, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me." Su Chun deliberately made a heartbroken expression, and exaggeratedly bowed his head in front of Haiping.If it was really a tit-for-tat, Su Chun would definitely not apologize, but if the confrontation period has passed, Su Chun is very willing to resolve the hostility with his wife in this way, he can coax her, but he cannot give in.It's okay to coax, it reflects a man's tolerance for a woman, and submission is a bit reluctant for a man's self-esteem. Haiping glanced at Su Chun and said, "Tell me, where did you go wrong?" "I shouldn't make my wife angry. As long as my wife is angry, it's all my fault. I'm wrong everywhere, up and down, inside and out, there is no right place." "You hate! Go away." "Look, it's just such a big piece of land, where can I go?" After speaking, he simply sat down next to Haiping, "What's the happy event?" "Well... tell you, I'm developed!" "Ah? What development?" "Yes, right away, soon, right away, I'm going to be a millionaire!" "I'm burnt out, absolutely burnt out, talking in my sleep?" "Cut! It's still a dream now, but when I really hit it, it won't be a dream." "What?" "Lottery tickets!" "Damned! How did you do this!" "Why can't you do it? Just try your luck! You can't always be unlucky in your life! As the saying goes, things are always reversed. Maybe my luck will turn around? How will you know if you don't try?" "Oh! Haiping! That's all unreliable. How many people think like you, that's why our gambling business is booming. I thought that people who bought lottery tickets were ordinary people! Even you got involved .”
