How to be financially free

Chapter 382

After leaving Chunxing Tea House, Xu Wen was still thinking about something.

He always has a strange feeling.

Not only did I put my heart and soul into this milk tea shop, but so did Sun Nana.

Aside from ideals, there are more or less feelings, right?
Why does it feel like senior sister can't wait to transfer the store, is she cashing out in such a hurry?
Or?
Forgive him for thinking wildly, but it really feels like the senior sister is standing on the other side.

Xu Wen was taken aback by his own thought.

"Impossible, how could I think so."

A trace of guilt flashed in Xu Wen's heart, and he felt that he was a little cranky.

Xu Wen went back by bus.

He came here in a hurry, so he took a taxi, but when he went back, he was not in a hurry, so he chose to save money.

On the bus, Xu Wen was thinking about something while looking out the window.

He also wants to develop Shangcha, and keep opening branches, which will become more and more popular.

He is also envious of several giants who yearn for domestic Internet celebrity milk tea shops, opening thousands of shops and gaining the favor of capital.

However, my family knows my own business.

The pressure of operating costs, the compression of profit margins, and the lack of experience.

It's okay to support one store, but opening more stores will be a bit beyond our capabilities.

All of the above are problems.

But most importantly, he was short of money.

He may not have the patience to choose the unknown and take a gamble on his future.

Mother's waist injury needs money is only one aspect.

Families that are not rich, hard-working parents, and the pressure of buying a car and a house in the future.

Xu Wen just wanted to bear the above pressure.

He couldn't bear to let his aging parents bear the burden for him anymore.

They are just office workers, and every penny they earn is paid for by hard work and sweat.

But now, there are two roads in front of him.

A road is unknown and full of risks. It may have a bright future, or it may fall into a boundless cliff.

There is a clear path, the opportunity is in front of you, as long as you agree, not to mention being rich, but you can immediately solve your mother's back injury, and solve the problem of the house and car that is right in front of you.

Parents don't have to work hard, and they can have a sum of money for themselves to set sail again.

The balance in Xu Wen's heart was constantly tilting and swaying.

The open-top trot outside the car window easily overtook the bus. Xu Wen could only see the tail lights of the bus. A couple on the bus were holding the document bag from the sales office with smiles on their faces, full of the joy of buying a house.

Everyone has their own life, there is no best, only the most suitable.

Although a person's ideals can fly infinitely, you have to admit that his development height has already been predestined.

Xu Wen smiled suddenly, and had an answer in his heart.

Getting off at the station closest to home, Xu Wen got off the car with a little relief in his heart.

Before reaching the door of the house, Xu Wen saw a good friend of his father Xu Jiang, Uncle Song.

It is said that Uncle Song is doing business now, and he is doing quite well.

However, why did Uncle Song come to his home?

"Uncle Song." Xu Wen greeted Uncle Song with a smile, "Come and sit at home?"

"It's Xu Wen! I won't sit down anymore. I'm here to give your dad the car keys. I have something else to do." Uncle Song smiled gently, first handed the car keys to Xu Wen directly, and then pointed to the car keys not far away. An Accord at .

"Here, there is the car, take the key with you."

It seemed that there was still work to be done, and Uncle Song didn't exchange pleasantries with Xu Wen too much.

Holding the car keys, Xu Wen glanced suspiciously at the shiny car not far away, turned around and went home.

As soon as he entered the house, Xu Wen saw his mother half lying on the bedside, the pain seemed to be better, with a back rest on her waist.

Xu Jiang was busy pouring tea, so he asked a casual question.

"Did you go to the store?"

Of course, Xu Wen didn't want to confide in his parents about things that were uncertain, so he just nodded and took out the car keys given by Uncle Song.

"Dad, I met Uncle Song at the door just now, and he gave me this." Xu Wen took out the car keys.

"The car is parked at the door, are you borrowing a car from Uncle Song?"

"Almost forgot about this." Xu Jiang patted his head and told the whole story.

It turned out that a few weeks ago, Xu Jiang and his high school classmates had discussed a class reunion every ten years.

Class reunions, let alone Xu Wen and his generation are popular, even their parents cannot escape this fate.

At Xu Jiang's age, his life has basically been fixed.

When the classmates meet again, it is natural to talk about career, family, and even the next generation.

Originally, Xu Jiang planned to go. For this reason, he even asked Uncle Song to borrow a car. Because he wanted to drink, he planned to let Xu Wen drive.

But now, Zhao Yuzhen's back injury recurred, and Xu Jiang suddenly lost interest.

"I'd better tell them! I won't go." Xu Jiang dismissed the idea of ​​participating.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuzhen immediately stopped her.

"You go! I don't miss you a day here, you should go, Xu Wen, drive your dad there at night, pay attention to safety on the road."

Xu Wen nodded.

Xu Jiang looked troubled, but after much deliberation, he still hesitated and agreed.

While it was still early, Xu Wen helped his father, Xu Jiang, prepare Zhao Yuzhen's dinner for the evening.

Although it was obviously useless, Xu Jiang still bought pork bones to make soup, which was called calcium supplementation.

When the busy work is over, the pork bone soup is almost stewed.

Xu Jiang helped Zhao Yuzhen out of bed, and walked around in the yard to exercise his muscles and bones.

To put it bluntly, a herniated lumbar intervertebral disc means that you can't use your strength and you have to support it.

While the parents were taking a walk, Xu Wen set the table and chopsticks for Zhao Yuzhen.

It was nearly evening, and Zhao Yuzhen began to eat dinner.

Xu Wen sat in the Accord, ready to send Xu Jiang to a reunion of classmates after ten years.

The car was driving on the road, Xu Wen and Xu Jiang were joking.

"Dad, in your class reunion, will there be any female classmates who make you feel uncomfortable?"

"Huh?" Xu Jiang recalled with a complexion.

As far as the father and son are concerned, there is nothing to hide when they talk.

"Of course there are. I still remember that there was a female classmate named Wu Qin in the class at that time. Using the aesthetics of our era to describe it, it was a lotus out of water, gentle and generous."

As Xu Jiang talked, he inevitably showed some expressions of memories.

"Dad, is it your first love?" Xu Wen asked smoothly.

"It's almost counted, or it may be unrequited love. After so many years, her appearance seems to be a little blurred." Xu Jiang smiled, and habitually wanted to touch the cigarette.

This time to participate in the class reunion, he specially brought a pack of unopened cigarettes.

Xu Wen listened silently, and didn't make any more jokes.

When people reach middle age, they may have some troubles, right?

I didn't marry the woman I love the most, so I got married at will, the burden of life and daily necessities, and my wife's chatter.

All kinds of things like this constitute the life of most ordinary middle-aged people.

After a long time, Xu Wen asked a question.

"What then?"

"If something happens later, you will be gone, kid!" Xu Jiang smiled casually, as if he was talking about an irrelevant person.

"In our time, high school education was already good, but Wu Qin became one of the few girls in our class who was admitted to college. Of course, the trajectory later was different."

At this moment, Xu Jiang sighed a little.

"After she went to university, she got to know her husband step by step. They are a good match! The two of them were highly educated. At that time, such a background was not common. Naturally, the better the life, the better the next generation. It’s a different starting point.”

Having said that, Xu Jiang paused slightly, and looked at Xu Wen with a complicated expression.

"I'm sorry son, my parents failed to lay a good foundation for you."

Xu Wen shook his head.

"Dad, look at what you said, what you gave me, I have never used it in my life."

Xu Jiang opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, but there was a trace of relief and relief in his eyes.

Middle-aged people have learned to be silent.

Xu Wen was very proficient in driving, Xu Jiang was a little surprised, he had the impression that after his son got his driver's license, he didn't seem to have any chance to practice driving.

Xu Wen was also a little strange, always feeling as if he was driving a lot.

It was too late to be too surprised, Xu Jiang's dinner party was almost here.

An old restaurant.

Xu Wen was in the parking lot, looking for a parking space, and slowly reversed the car.

There was still a vacant seat beside the car. When Xu Wen was reversing the car, it was a BMW [-]-series. Xu Wen quickly backed the car.

Then, as soon as the window opened, a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body and young clothes lowered the window.

"Old Xu! I thought it was you just now, long time no see!"

The middle-aged man leaned against the car window and looked at Xu Jiang.

Xu Jiang looked at the middle-aged man, and quickly matched him with a person in his memory.

"Hello, Boss Chen." Xu Jiang greeted politely, but it was only polite.

"Do you recognize me? Is this your son?" The middle-aged man looked at Xu Wen who was driving.

Xu Jiang nodded and explained briefly.

"It's easier for my son to drive, what if he drinks alcohol?"

"Oh, that's right." The middle-aged man called Boss Chen nodded and asked casually.

"The car is not bad, is your car still your son's?"

A trace of hesitation flashed in Xu Jiang's eyes, and he smiled, "I'm driving it, and my son will buy it for him when the time comes."

Boss Chen continued to smile, looking into the car with his eyes.

"Is this car last year's model? How much did it cost?" He seemed to ask casually.

Xu Jiang was startled, a little embarrassed.

Xu Wen recalled that just as he was about to tell his father, he heard Boss Chen outside laughing.

"You said you, Lao Xu, you can borrow the car if you borrow it? There is nothing to be embarrassed about, they are all old classmates."

Xu Jiang looked a little embarrassed and laughed dryly.

"Dad, shall we get out of the car?" Xu Wen turned off the engine with a calm expression, reminding Xu Jiang softly.

"Okay!" Xu Jiang woke up like a dream and got out of the car.

Boss Chen seemed to be very enthusiastic and patted Xu Jiang on the shoulder.

Xu Jiang smiled unnaturally, somewhat embarrassed after being exposed by the other party.

drop!
Not far away, a Porsche slowly approached with its lights flashing.

Xu Jiang and Boss Chen were stunned at the same time.

The Porsche approached, and Xu Wen saw that the driver was a girl who was dressed in fashion and exquisite makeup. Beside her, the co-driver sat an ageless woman, elegant and generous.

The years seemed to have left no marks on her face at all.

After the car window was lowered, the woman poked her head out slightly with a smile on her face.

"Old classmates, long time no see."

Xu Jiang was still in a daze, but Boss Chen realized it all at once.

"Wu Qin! Hello, hello!"

The enthusiasm with which he laughed, and the superficial eagerness when he met Xu Jiang just now were completely different concepts.

Just now it was an eagerness with a sense of superiority, but now, it is a real enthusiasm.

"Well, hello, Chen Song, and Xu Jiang."

Wu Qin looked at Xu Jiang with a smile, his eyes were filled with memories, exploration and curiosity.

"Wu Qin."

Xu Jiang came back to his senses, in front of him was the face that had haunted him many years ago, and it seemed that it hadn't changed much after so many years.

However, it's all over.

"Hello."

Xu Jiang smiled sincerely, the kind of pure smile when seeing an old classmate.

"Is this the Wu Qin my father said?" Xu Wen looked at this well-dressed, young woman beside the car.

With this temperament and appearance, when you were young, in that era, the lethality can be imagined.

Xu Wen could see clearly from behind the car.

When my father was nervous, his little finger would tremble involuntarily. Just now, when he saw Wu Qin for the first time, his little finger was indeed trembling, but soon calmed down.

It was obvious that he was really relieved.

Xu Wen is determined to help his father keep this secret.

The girl in the Porsche got out of the car, her temperament and appearance were somewhat similar to Wu Qin's, but with a little more youthful atmosphere, and the temperament that belonged to young people of this era.

She smiled and watched her mother chatting with a few old classmates, and then she inadvertently met Xu Wen who was standing by the car.

Out of politeness, the two nodded to each other.

The girl quickly turned her attention away, because there was nothing special about Xu Wen in front of her.

She took Wu Qin's arm, and was then pulled over by Wu Qin to give a good introduction.

"This is my daughter, named Yang Shuyin, Shu Yin, please call me two uncles."

"Hello, uncles." Yang Shuyin greeted Boss Chen and Xu Jiang generously.

Boss Chen ouched.

"You're already a big girl, the last time uncle saw you, you were still a little girl!"

"When did uncle see me?" Yang Shuyin asked curiously.

Boss Chen looked reminiscent.

"Ten years ago!"

Xu Jiang looked back at Xu Wen and motioned for Xu Wen to go over.

"This is my son Xu Wen, called Uncle and Aunt."

Xu Wen followed what Xu Jiang said, and said hello to his two old classmates.

Boss Chen nodded and didn't say anything, but Wu Qin looked at Xu Wen very friendly, his eyes really looked like an elder.

"The young man is getting more and more handsome. You and my Shu Yin should be the same age, right?"

Xu Jiang continued, "My son is 22 this year."

"That's really the same age, you two young people also say hello to each other." Wu Qin said with a smile, pulling Yang Shuyin.

Even the mother spoke, Yang Shuyin smiled slightly.

"Hello, my name is Yang Shuyin." The voice was soft and pleasant.

She didn't reach out.

Xu Wen naturally wouldn't reach out.

"Hello." Xu Wen nodded slightly.

"My name is Xu Wen."

There is a sense of distance in Yang Shuyin's politeness, Xu Wen naturally will not be idle to post it.

He actually planned to wait for Xu Jiang in the car.

Over there, Boss Chen was already greeting warmly.

"Shu Yin, let's go up together and eat whatever you want."

Xu Wen was not mentioned in the words.

Yang Shuyin nodded with a smile, and took a strange look at Xu Wen who was not mentioned.

"Xiao Xu, let's go up with aunts and uncles!" Wu Qin still remembered Xu Wen, and warmly invited.

"Look at my memory, this little Xu, let's go up and have something to eat together." Boss Chen looked at Xu Wen and said casually.

"Don't go!" Xu Wen declined.

There's nothing to do with such a dinner.

"Let's go! Go up with Dad."

Xu Jiang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth and gave Xu Wen a look.

Xu Wen understood what his father meant.

"Okay Dad." Xu Wen smiled calmly.

He listened to Xu Jiang about this matter.
