Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 165 Uncle Xu and Uncle Wang

One hour before the time agreed by the big leader, Cao Zhiqiang made preparations, then put on his guitar, stepped on his travel bag, rode that second-hand bicycle, and headed to the big leader's house alone.

For this meeting, Cao Zhiqiang not only took a bath in advance, had his hair cut, but also specially changed into a Chinese tunic suit.

Although it is a tunic suit, the tunic suit Cao Zhiqiang is wearing is not cheap. It is made of real wool, that is, wool.

Not to mention now, even in future generations, wool is quite expensive.

Cao Zhiqiang's Chinese tunic suit is a handmade Chinese tunic suit that he customized in advance, with a slimming effect specially added on the waist, so it is specially published for a thin person like Cao Zhiqiang, full of high-end feeling.

Let's put it this way, with Cao Zhiqiang's woolen tunic suit and big black leather shoes, if he goes out, people will definitely think he is a young cadre.

Along the way, under the envious eyes of others, Cao Zhiqiang came to the big leader's community calmly.

There were still two gun-armed guards with stern expressions at the door, and it seemed that it was not a place for ordinary people to enter.

However, when Cao Zhiqiang walked over and said his name, he was quickly let go. It seemed that he had indeed greeted him in advance.

When Cao Zhiqiang pushed his bicycle in, he was still secretly sighing the word awesome.

Big people are just different.

According to memory, after he came to the big leader's villa, the nanny immediately took him to the living room.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw the big leader playing Go with a gray-haired old man.

Seemingly aware of Cao Zhiqiang's arrival, the big leader immediately put down the pawns and smiled at Cao Zhiqiang: "Hey, Xiao Cao is here, and he came quite early."

Cao Zhiqiang immediately smiled and said, "Boss, no, Mr. Xu has given you instructions, so of course I have to come early."

"Hahaha." The leader, no, Uncle Xu laughed, "Little slick, can't you wait?"

"A little too." Cao Zhiqiang scratched his head with a chuckle.

At this moment, the gray-haired old man who had been sizing up Cao Zhiqiang silently since just now, suddenly pursed his lips and smiled: "Old Xu, this is the Cao Zhiqiang you mentioned, right? But what did he call you just now? Uncle Xu?"

Uncle Xu laughed again: "Yes, Lao Wang, I think this little guy is very interesting, so let him call me Uncle Xu, otherwise, he always imitates the silly Zhu, and the big boss calls me, I always feel that strange."

"I see." The gray-haired old man nodded, and then said to Cao Zhiqiang, "Little comrade, my surname is Wang. Since you call Lao Xu Uncle Xu, then you can also call me Uncle Wang."

Cao Zhiqiang immediately nodded with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Wang."

"Hehe." The gray-haired old man smiled slightly, nodded and said to Uncle Xu, "It's interesting, he is very good at hitting snakes with sticks."

"Haha." Uncle Xu smiled again, "I told you, you won't be disappointed."

Uncle Wang smiled faintly, looked at Cao Zhiqiang and said, "I hope."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang just stood there with a smirk and scratched his head.

Of course, this is all pretend, because he knew early on that this Uncle Wang is not simple.

That's right, there is no simple character who can talk so bluntly with a big leader, just lick it.

So, pretending to be shy and embarrassed properly can make a good impression on people.

At the very least, it will give people a feeling of innocence.

In this case, even if you offend someone with your words later, you can use your youthful vigor and ignorance to smooth things over afterwards.

However, these small skills can be used a little bit, and it is only suitable for him at this age.

If you are like Shazhu, you can't play this game anymore.

At this moment, he seemed to see Cao Zhiqiang's "embarrassment", and Uncle Xu glared at Uncle Wang: "Look at you, come back to your trick again, show me my airs, it scared Xiao Cao .”

Uncle Wang was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, but didn't say anything.

At this moment, Uncle Xu turned his head to Cao Zhiqiang and said, "Little Cao, where's silly Zhu? He didn't come with you?"

Cao Zhiqiang said: "No, silly, no, Uncle He told me on the phone before, let me come alone and meet here together, there is no need to meet in advance."

"That's it." Uncle Xu nodded, and then suddenly thought of something, "Wait, what did you say on the phone? Do you have a phone at home?"

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "I just bought a courtyard house a few days ago, it's on the Houhai side, and I installed a phone for the convenience of others to contact me."

"Oh? You don't live in your old courtyard anymore?" Uncle Xu asked again.

"I can't stop." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "The original residence was full of people. Although it was the ancestral house, I grew up there and had feelings, but..."

"But what?" Uncle Xu asked.

Cao Zhiqiang deliberately smiled bitterly: "Uncle Xu, you are a smart person, so I won't hide it from you.

You should know that if I were the old me, the poor me, it would be all right to continue living there.

But now that I have money, many people in the compound know about it, so it is inappropriate to continue living there.

As for the reason, you can guess without telling me.

Don't say anything else, let's just talk about an incident a few days ago.

A few days ago, I just lent 3000 yuan to a person named Yan Bugui in our hospital because of my sympathy.

Yan Bugui is an old man in our compound. He is known as the third uncle, and he is quite authoritative in the compound.

He personally stopped me and asked me to borrow money. If I really had money and refused to borrow money, it would be a shame for him and embarrass me.

So, at that time, because of my sympathy, and I was young, and I was talked about, I lent him money in a daze.

However, afterwards, I figured it out that it was not appropriate to lend him so much money.

If this matter gets out, I want to continue to live there, will I still have a peaceful life?
There must be people constantly coming to borrow money!
If it's just like this, that's all. The key is that there are still many people who are planning on my sister. "

"Thinking about your sister?" Uncle Xu asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Cao Zhiqiang said: "That's right, I have a righteous sister who was adopted by my parents when they were in Nanjing, and when my parents returned to Beiping, they brought her back.

Then, after my parents passed away, here, my only relative is that younger sister, and at the lowest point of my life, it was my younger sister who has been taking care of me, so I have no blood relationship with this younger sister, I have always looked at her as my own sister.

Later, my younger sister’s biological sister in Nanjing secretly came to Beiping by train to find us alone, without an adult to accompany her.

And this younger sister's own younger sister won't leave once she comes.

Then of course I have to take good care of it.

For this reason, I specially spent money to hire someone to help the step-sister's sister with homework, because I was afraid that she would not be able to go to school after coming here, and she would miss too much homework.

However, it was okay before, but since people found out that I was rich, many people took their ideas on my younger sister's own younger sister.

Several groups of people have approached me, saying that they want to adopt the younger sister of my adopted sister, and they hope to make friends with me through this method. "

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "If it's just for borrowing money, it's fine, but it's a bit too much to put the idea on my sister's own sister.

My adopted sister's younger sister is still a child and is easily influenced by others. What if... Anyway, it's not right. "

After shaking his head, Cao Zhiqiang continued: "Also, I am a person who focuses on creation now, and creation needs a quiet environment.

I’m not saying that the neighbors in the compound are not good, but that in that environment, especially in my current situation, if I still live there, it’s impossible to create there peacefully. .

That's why I had to move out, and installed a telephone, and only gave the phone number to a few very close people, such as Uncle He.

You understand my difficulties now, Mr. Xu? "

"Hehe, that's how it is. I understand." Uncle Xu nodded, and then smiled slightly, "I forgot that you are now a rich man with a net worth of over 50, so it is really not suitable to continue to live in the original place."

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Xu sighed: "If you are poor, no one cares about you in the busy city, and if you are rich, you have distant relatives in the mountains. The ancients were sincere and did not deceive me."

At this moment, the uncle Wang smiled faintly: "Comrade Xiao Cao, do you mind if I call you that?"

"Of course I don't mind." Cao Zhiqiang said quickly.

Uncle Wang nodded: "I have heard of you, the poet Qiangzi, you are very popular in the nearest capital, I have also heard of your name, and I have read your masterpiece.

But, did you really earn 50 yuan just by relying on that book of poems? "

"Of course it is true." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Uncle Wang smiled: "Can you tell me more about how you make money? After all, normally, a collection of poems can't make that much money."

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang nodded again, and then he was about to tell how he contributed to the poetry magazine and how he later published a collection of poems in the form of royalties with the publishing house.

However, just as Cao Zhiqiang was about to speak, Uncle Xu suddenly said, "Don't worry, what's the matter with you standing there all this time, come and sit down, let's sit down and chat while no one else is here."

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang's stunned look, Uncle Wang also nodded kindly: "Yeah, don't stand there, like giving a report, come and sit down and talk, just say whatever you want, it doesn't matter."

Cao Zhiqiang blinked, and then smiled brightly: "Okay, gentlemen, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."
