981: The Cowhide Is Bigger than the Other! (3 More)
Of course, ordinary people can't come up with 1 million.
Some people made a fortune in the reform and opening up.
In particular, some of the township and village enterprises have a fortune of several hundred thousand.
But to say who can come up with 1 million cash, Zheng Shuqin has never contacted such a person. 1 million, and the wages of the employees of the entire provincial construction institute are not even 1 million. With personal wealth, can the entire provincial hospital be supported?
This number is beyond the imagination of the two of them.
It is because of the lack of authenticity that Zheng Shuqin prefers to believe that Xia Xiaolan is bragging rather than admitting that Xia Xiaolan has so much money. Hmph, the cowhide is blowing a lot, and the old man is stunned. Let's see how it ends in the future!
This 1 million, let Zheng Shuqin talk about a great loss.
She didn't discuss Xia Xiaolan's company's business anymore. This kind of thing is too illusory. It's better to talk about something practical, such as the pile of things in the living room on the sixth floor.
Zheng Shuqin pushed Mao Guosheng hard:
"Xiao Xia filial piety so many things, can the two old men eat? They are very stingy, don't eat them if they are rotten, it's a waste! There are also Maotai wine and Zhonghua cigarettes, Mao Guosheng, you did this in the Provincial Construction Institute. For many years, I haven't been able to enjoy these special offerings. You are not promising as a son-in-law, and I have no face in my parents' house. I don't care, you go and ask for two bottles of wine and two cigarettes, and let me honor my grandfather. You see what I do like this, if you want to drink and smoke, just order more! Anyway, if you don't, it might be cheaper for others."
Zheng Shuqin meant something, referring to the other sons and daughters of Mao Kangshan.
Why should she and Mao Guosheng take care of the elderly at close range, but let others take the benefits?
Her in-laws are usually stingy, but in fact, Zheng Shuqin is pregnant.
When people are old and spend so much money for what they do, they should save it up. In the future, it will be her and Guosheng's.
Anyway, she and Guosheng lived downstairs, and whoever took a needle from her in-laws' house would not be able to hide from Zheng Shuqin's eyes!
Mao Guosheng did not speak this time.
He was still thinking about what Xia Xiaolan said about changing the house for the second old man.
Mao Guosheng knew nothing about the background of Xiaoxia's family except that he was a student of Huaqing Architecture Department.
Xiao Xia said so casually, did she really not know the leaders of the Provincial Construction Institute?
How can it be simple for a young girl who casually puts 1 million in her mouth!
In addition to being curious, Mao Guosheng was also a little in awe.
Even a little ashamed.
Despite Zheng Shuqin's non-stop chatter, he didn't let go this time to go to the sixth floor to ask for something.
Xia Xiaolan's words seemed to have magic power, and they kept reverberating in Mao Guosheng's mind, causing his face to heat up.
On the third floor, Zheng Shuqin failed to achieve his goal, and the couple made trouble.
Meanwhile, on the sixth floor.
Mao Kangshan and Aunt Song were also talking about Xia Xiaolan.
Aunt Song first reviewed herself:
"Old Mao, I was confused today. I shouldn't have promised to follow Xiao Xia to go out, so I won't make you embarrassed?"
Aunt Song was very uneasy.
She and Mao Kangshan had an arranged marriage. She was illiterate, and the words she knew were taught by Mao Kangshan slowly after marriage.
She gave birth to five children, and she has been busy at home all her life, and has never worked.
Mao Kangshan is a leading figure in the construction circle, not to mention professional knowledge related to construction, Mao Kangshan can also understand English and Russian, which makes Aunt Song look up to her for a lifetime.
Mao Kangshan was still in a hurry.
When the husband and wife get along, they can't live a hard life. Mao Kangshan is short-tempered, and Aunt Song is soft and reconciled.
She was accustomed to letting Mao Kangshan go everywhere, and her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at her husband.
When Mao Kangshan wanted to scold someone, Aunt Song did not dare to persuade him.
Mao Kangshan wanted to be frugal, and Aunt Song felt sorry for him to eat boiled noodles in plain water.
What about yourself?
She thinks she has had enough.
Mao Kangshan saw Aunt Song's expression in his eyes, and no matter how hot his temper was, he couldn't say a single heavy word. Can he accuse Aunt Song of being confused and coaxed by Xia Xiaolan's sweet words? Mao Kangshan still has a conscience, he can't say it.
"Nothing, we just went to see what Xiao Xia is doing in Pengcheng. She wants to open a company and I promise to find a relationship with her, but I can't let her mess around outside under my name. You promised just right, we will go in person Just take a look at Pengcheng and feel relieved!"
Mao Kangshan tried his best to say it lightly, and Aunt Song was really happy:
"Then do we really want to go to Pengcheng? Tomorrow I'll get some money out of my bankbook. It's not good to ask Xiao Xia to spend money."
Aunt Song looked very kind, and when she was happy, the few wrinkles on her face were smoothed out.
Seeing his wife happy, Mao Kangshan also blamed himself.
Xia Xiaolan said something right, while he and his wife can still move, it's time to go out for a walk.
He now suspects that there is something wrong with his strategy of saving money.
Now eat boiled noodles in boiled water to save money, and in the future, I will keep the money for the old lady. What good food can she eat after losing all her teeth?
Maybe he was wrong!
He should spend half of his salary and save half... no, spend one-third, save two-thirds. After being an iron rooster for several years, Mao Kangshan couldn't change his thrifty habit for a while.
Aunt Song said to withdraw money, but Mao Kangshan did not object, but she refused to admit defeat:
"What kind of money is taken, and where the master goes, of course, it is the filial piety of being an apprentice."
Aunt Song did not compete with Mao Kangshan, but instead pointed to a pile of things in the room:
"The third
The daughter-in-law has been making up her mind for a long time in the house, how to divide these things, you have to come up with a charter. Tobacco and alcohol won't let you move, and fruit and other food, do you want to give the children a break? "
Mao Kangshan snorted:
"Guosheng's daughter-in-law simply can't make it to the stage, and Guosheng's cowardice is also small. He only dares to ask you for something. If they have the ability, they will come and ask me in person. I tell you, things are not allowed to be divided. Xiao Xia said that filial piety will make up your body, You should take a good supplement. What red dates, and royal jelly, you can start eating tomorrow!"
Aunt Song was worried.
She followed Mao Kangshan all her life, but she didn't expect to worry about too many good things when she was getting old.
What Lao Mao said was angry words, even if other things are not given, can the fruit be stored for a long time?
A box of melons and a box of pears, only she and Lao Mao could eat them, and they couldn't finish them in half a month. What's more, if you are going to Pengcheng soon, there is no time to eat it. Forget it, the old man in the family is angry, who asked Zheng Shuqin to drag Guosheng over at lunchtime, but he didn't wink and made the old Mao angry.
...
The Mao family spoke for a long time, and the family building of the Provincial Construction Academy could not hide the secret.
Everyone is discussing the rare affairs of the Mao family. It is nothing to pluck the iron rooster. The smelly and hard Mao Kangshan has turned his head, and he is willing to accept gifts and even a closed disciple.
What everyone talked about the most was the origin of Xia Xiaolan.
Including Vice President Zhong of the Provincial Construction Institute, after listening to his family for a long time, President Zhong didn't care too much:
"Mao Lao is willing to accept apprentices, what does it have to do with us? It's just right for someone to contain his energy, so that Mao Lao is old and scolded everywhere."
Dean Zhong thought that he didn't care about his own business. Someone knocked on his door early the next morning before he went to work.
Opening the door, it was a young man, holding two boxes of things, calling Dean Zhong's name, and leaving the things behind.
How can Dean Zhong dare to accept it!
"Come back, what are you doing, how can you throw things around?"
The young man offered a cigarette to Dean Zhong: "It's not about throwing things around, it's because I want to trouble you with something, and give you some worthless souvenirs. It's Comrade Mao Guosheng from the Provincial Institute. I want to ask for a leave for him. I have something to do. If you want to trouble him... maybe ten days, maybe more than half a month, please make it easier for President Zhong."
