Chapter 280 A Clever Arrangement on New Year's Eve 【Subscription】

Gao Changmin and Tian Xiaoqing came downstairs and said, "You don't need to stay in a hotel, just stay in the guest house of Shenfang Factory."

Tian Xiaoqing invited him into his car.

"Whose car is this?" Gao Changmin asked.

"My own car."

"Have you already bought a car?" Gao Changmin smiled wryly, "As expected of a city dweller, he's doing really well!"

"Don't make fun of me! I've been suspended without pay. For the next two years, I'll work for Wang Lin. This is a reward he gave me. This is the benefit of a big city. There are many opportunities to make a fortune."

"Oh!" Gao Changmin sighed.

Tian Xiaoqing said: "Instead of envying fish in the abyss, it's better to retreat and make a net! Your own ability is not bad, it's just missing a chance to develop."

Gao Changmin said: "What opportunities do we have in such a poor place? People in the village have started to go to the city, and people in Chang'an City have started to go to the coast."

Tian Xiaoqing said: "This is also an opportunity."

Gao Changmin said: "You mean, I also follow your example, go to sea?"

"I didn't say that. How can I dare to arrange you?"

"Xiaoqing, are you still angry about the past?"

"Don't be sentimental. What happened before is just a passing cloud to me. As your friend, I just give you a good advice."

"I know." Gao Changmin said, "I also thought about leaving everything in Chang'an and coming to Shencheng to find a job. Even if I can't get into a government unit, it would be nice to be a security guard in a private factory."

"Hehe, are you willing to give up your treasure?"

"I mean, before I knew Baozhen. In that way, I would be closer to you. But, I thought again, if I really became a security guard, what would I have to love you? How could you marry To a foreign security guard who has nothing?"

"Don't say the word love, spit it out of your mouth, I feel dirty!"

"..."

"You are very self-aware. For a woman like me, even if she is single for the rest of her life, it is impossible for her to marry a security guard from another place!"

Gao Changmin sat slumped on the passenger seat, looking at the blurred neon lights outside the car window, his fragile self-esteem was once again deeply hurt by the bustle and bustle of the big city.

There are [-] million people in this city, and everyone has their own family and job. He is a foreigner, so why should he blend in?
At this moment, he truly felt how big the gap between himself and Tian Xiaoqing was!

Prosperity is just a dream after all!

Tian Xiaoqing drove the car to the International Hotel, opened a room for Gao Changmin, and said to him: "This is Wang Lin's order, and he will reimburse the expenses. You can stay here. Go upstairs by yourself. I won't send you up."

Gao Changmin hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Xiaoqing, have you found someone?"

Tian Xiaoqing replied without hesitation: "I found it. Bless me!"

"Bless you." Gao Changmin smiled sadly, "Thank you for sending me here too. I'll take the train back to Chang'an tomorrow."

Tian Xiaoqing took out an envelope and stuffed it in Gao Changmin's hand: "Don't get me wrong, this is the travel expenses Wang Lin gave you, thank you. He was afraid that you would not accept it if he gave it to you in person, so he asked me to hand it over to you. You accept it." Come on! It's not easy for you to make some money, and the travel fare is quite expensive. Take care, goodbye."

After finishing speaking, Tian Xiaoqing turned around and hurriedly left the International Hotel.

The next morning, Wang Lin received a call from Gao Changmin, saying that he had checked out of the room, arrived at the train station, had already bought a ticket, and would not come to resign in person. He thanked Wang Lin's family for their hospitality.

Wang Lin chatted with him a few words and wished him a smooth journey.

"Brother-in-law, we agreed to buy new year's goods today, will we go?" Li Wenjuan was already dressed up, and she actually put on the newly bought cheongsam Wang Lin bought for her!
Wang Lin put down the phone: "Go! Go now."

Li Wenxiu took his younger sister's hand, and said with a smile: "You crazy girl, are you going to die? Dress like this and go out shopping? Do you really only want style, not temperature?"

Li Wenjuan said with a smile: "I don't think it's cold. I'll just wear a down jacket over it. I heard from my brother-in-law that young women in island countries like to wear it like this. In winter, no matter how cold it is, they only wear it." The skirt, the upper body is warm, but the legs are exposed! I'm also wearing flesh-colored leggings!"

Wang Lindao: "There is indeed such a thing."

Li Wenxiu said: "Okay, let me see if you are cold! If you are cold, just stay in the car and don't get out."

"Hee hee!" Li Wenjuan laughed, "If I'm afraid of the cold, I'll hug my brother-in-law tightly to keep warm!"

"You have a good idea! He is my man, you are not allowed to hug him!" Li Wenxiu said with a smile, "We are leaving, Xiaodie, you go too and help us carry our things."

Sun Xiaodie happily responded.

Because her two good friends didn't go home during the Spring Festival, she didn't want to go back either, saying that it would be too expensive to go home during the New Year, so she should go back after the New Year.Although she didn't go home for the New Year, she sent home all the money she had saved for half a year.

Zhou Jun, Wang Lin and Zhou Porridge also came over and invited Wang Lin and the others to go shopping for the New Year together.

We discussed it, and went to the market first, bought the New Year's goods that can be bought in the market, and then went to the mall.

The Spring Festival is approaching, the streets and alleys are decorated with lights, and the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.

The weather is rare these days, the sun is warm, and the market is full of small stalls selling all kinds of new year goods.

"There are Spring Festival couplets here, shall we buy one and take it home?" Li Wenxiu said.

"Buy!" Wang Lin said with a smile, "I want him to write a picture of a golden snake dancing wildly to add color to the spring, and the jade tree is full of joy!"

Zhou Jun smiled and said, "Wang Lin, you have done a good job writing this pair! Next year is the Year of the Snake! Think of one for my family too! I'll buy one too."

Wang Lin laughed and said, "There are so many scholars in your family, why is it my turn to make a fool of yourself?"

Zhou Porridge said: "Aren't you talking about me? I really have a couplet, [-] million peasants are on the road to wealth, and the land of Kyushu is on a new journey! Better than yours?"

Wang Lin gave a thumbs up: "Sure enough!"

The person who wrote the Spring Festival couplets was a white-haired old man. He wrote fast and well. He quickly wrote two couplets, and charged [-] cents for each.

"Brother-in-law, there are New Year pictures and window grilles here, shall we buy some too?"

"Buy it!" Wang Lin said with a smile, "There are also fireworks, you must buy this one! If you don't let off fireworks, it doesn't count as Chinese New Year."

Li Wenxiu smiled and said, "You're not a kid anymore, you still buy fireworks?"

Wang Lindao: "My son can hear the sound in his stomach! I'll play it for him."

"Haha!" Everyone roared with laughter.

With the gradual liberalization of the market, there are more and more materials in the market that do not need to be purchased with a ticket, and basically everything you need can be bought.

Wang Lin and the others wandered in the market until noon, bought a lot of mountain and dry goods, went home for lunch, and went shopping in the department store in the afternoon.

The No. [-] Food Store on Nanjing Road was crowded with people.

This is the largest state-owned non-staple food store in Shanghai. It has a complete range of products and assured quality. It is the first choice for Shanghai residents to buy food.

Inside the square glass jars, there are candy in bulk, north and south goods, pickled food, cooked food preserves, snacks, and time-honored snacks, which make people dizzy.

Women love to visit this food store, and once they enter, they can't get out. They have to buy all kinds of sweets and snacks.

Wang Lin saw that Li Wenxiu bought less of everything, so he said with a smile: "We have money, so we don't need to save."

"I bought too much and it melted. I can't eat so much. I will buy it after eating." Li Wenxiu said.

"This year is different from previous years. There will be a lot of people coming to pay New Year's greetings." Wang Lin said, "You should prepare some New Year's goods to entertain guests!"

"That's right, I forgot that you are the deputy factory director now, so you should buy more."

"You are so funny, you can forget such a big thing as me being the deputy factory director?"

"Don't be angry! Didn't I not think of this section?"

After buying candy, I went to buy pastries.

People in Shencheng are very particular about eating pastry, especially those pastry houses with the taste of old brands that have a long history, which is called a bustling market.

Butterfly crisps, western cakes, zephane, peanut steaks, and almond steaks are not only delicious, but also unforgettable memories for Shanghai residents from the 80s to the [-]s.

There are also red silk crisps from Xinghualou and good tea from Xuyou Tea House, which are also must-buys for the New Year.

After shopping for a long time, the trunk of the car is full of New Year's goods again.

Li Wenxiu and Wang Lin discussed it, and they found that they had almost sold out the necessities for the New Year, and they only needed to buy a few clothes for the New Year.

Everyone said that they were tired, so let's come out to buy clothes tomorrow!

In the evening, everyone will not go home, and eat out directly.

There are many time-honored restaurants on Nanjing Road and Huaihai Road, and you can eat well at any shop.

When I got home, it was already half past seven in the evening.

Li Wenxiu walked for a whole day, but she was exhausted. She had a big belly, supported her waist with one hand, and slowly sat down on the sofa, shaking her hands and said, "Don't call me when you go shopping in the future, I am very tired. .”

Wang Lin said: "Then you should rest earlier."

"I want to rest, but the problem is that I can't sleep. Let's watch the video!" Li Wenxiu said, "I'll lie here for a while. By the way, Wang Lin, have you settled the debt of Xiao Bailing?"

Wang Lin looked at her in surprise, and said slowly: "It's over. Since the theater opened, it has earned 60 yuan. As for the income of the training school this semester, it has already been handed over to me."

"I didn't expect that a theater can make so much money?"

"It's only a few performances on weekends! I don't perform in normal times, otherwise I will earn more."

"I haven't seen the money, have I?"

"Hey, I used another one."

"Where is it used?"

"Little Bailing has just opened, and it needs to buy more clothes, and the opening of the branch school, and the addition of air-conditioning equipment. It costs a lot of money. If you really want to make money from it, you have to wait until next year." Wang Lin said without hesitation .

He thought that Li Wenxiu wouldn't ask where the money went, but he didn't expect that she would still think about the money!
It seems that Li Wenxiu is far smarter than he imagined.

Li Wenxiu thought for a while and asked, "Then Little Bailing is also on vacation?"

"Of course the art school is closed, but the theater is not closed." Wang Lin said with a smile, "We just happen to make money during the Spring Festival holiday! On the night of the New Year's Eve, we also prepared a special art performance!"

"There's also a performance on the [-]th night? Is anyone going to see it?"

"There must be someone. Our tickets are sold out. Tickets usually cost five yuan a ticket, and tickets for [-]-night tickets cost ten yuan a ticket. We invited celebrities from the city's literary and art circles to build a large-scale The party. All the income of the day will be donated to charity, and there will be [-] yuan!"

"This activity is very meaningful." Li Wenxiu laughed.

Wang Lindao: "So, the activities we planned have been praised by the old artists in the city, saying that such public welfare activities are better than sitting at home watching the Spring Festival Gala, and they are all willing to perform voluntarily without charging performance fees! Contribute to the public welfare of our city.”

"Then you want to go too?" Li Wenxiu immediately thought of this question.

"Of course I have to go, I am the organizer and initiator." Wang Lin knew, "Are you going?"

"I won't go, the scene is too noisy, I'm afraid of disturbing my son." Li Wenxiu shook her head, "I'd better watch the Spring Festival Gala at home! What about the New Year's Eve dinner? Are you eating at home?"

Wang Lindao: "Of course we eat at home. We had dinner earlier, so I'll go over there."

"Well, let's do it! You are doing a public welfare undertaking, so of course I want to support you." Li Wenxiu said, "This can be regarded as accumulating merit for our son!"

"..."

Li Wenjuan's ears were sharp, and she immediately said, "Brother-in-law, take me there!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "There are no tickets. You can accompany your sister to watch the Spring Festival Gala at home!"

Li Wenjuan turned her head: "Huh! Your theater has been open for almost half a year, and you have never taken me to see a show!"

Wang Lindao: "I didn't watch a few shows either! The tickets for each show are sold out in advance."

Li Wenxiu said: "Didn't I go to see it? It's noisy, what's there to see? It's better to watch the Spring Festival Gala! Xiaodie is also at home, don't you want to accompany your friends?"

Wang Lindao: "I bought a lot of fireworks, and you play them at home."

Li Wenjuan said: "No, I will wait for you to come back and take us to set off fireworks together!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "I came back late, you guys go to bed early."

Li Wenjuan said: "I'll wait until you finish watching the Spring Festival Gala. It will be almost a little by then, and you still haven't come back?"

Li Wenxiu also looked at Wang Lin: "Are you going home so late?"

Wang Lin looked calm, and said lightly: "I will try to come back as soon as possible!"

Li Wenxiu finally stopped asking about matters related to Xiao Bailing, and started watching the video.

Wang Lin looked at the time and said, "I'm going out for a while."

"Haven't you shopped enough yet?" Li Wenxiu smiled, "It's so late, where else are you going?"

"It's almost Chinese New Year, so I don't have to go to each workshop to encourage the workers who work on the production line? I used to go every night, but now I don't go, the workers will have ideas."

"Then you go. Come back earlier." Li Wenxiu said.

Li Wenjuan said: "Brother-in-law, I want to eat barbecue!"

Li Wenxiu said: "You just came back from dinner, are you still full? It's Chinese New Year, who is still selling barbecue outside?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Well, when I come back, I'll go to the night market to have a look. If there are any, I'll buy them. If not, I won't buy them."

Li Wenjuan said: "Okay. Then I'll wait until you come back to sleep. Let's watch the video first."

Wang Lin went out and went to Zhou Jun's house first.

Zhou Jun was answering the phone, Zhou Porridge was playing the guqin, and Wang Lin was knitting a sweater.

Hearing the sound of the door, Zhou Porridge came over and opened the door. Seeing him, he smiled and said, "You, can't you stay at home? You came here again just after you got home."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Come and listen to you play the guqin."

Zhou Congee said: "I haven't practiced before, I'm practicing just now, and I'll play it for you later."

Zhou Jun put down the phone, looked at his wife, and waved to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Jun covered his mouth with his hand, and said in a low voice: "Just now Gu Qingyu called me and asked me to go over there, please quickly find an excuse for me and call me out! Hurry up!"

Wang Lin was startled, thinking that Gu Qingyu called Zhou Jun out so late?And Zhou Jun also wants to go out?
Is there really something tricky between the two of them?
