Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 93 Isn't This a Nursery?
Looking at the woman in front of him who kept chattering about her past, Cao Zhiqiang looked helpless,

He regretted it a bit, regretted why he had to take her to the park on a whim, and played the tear-jerking healing divine comedy for her, and came to dinner together after it was over.

Yes, now Cao Zhiqiang and this woman named Hao Shuwen are eating in the western restaurant of Xinqiao Hotel.

As for the food in the restaurant here, it is mainly Western food, and it is said to be quite authentic.

The grade here is very high, and a meal costs 30 yuan. In this era, the price is very expensive, so people who can come here to eat basically mean a status symbol. If you have eaten here, you can boasting to the outside world.

This Hao Shuwen was able to invite him to eat here, which shows that she is not short of money.

By the way, Cao Zhiqiang originally asked Yang Pingan to eat with him, but he didn't come in even if he said that he was not hungry, so he insisted on waiting outside, and he didn't listen to what he said.

In view of his resolute attitude, and Hao Shuwen didn't invite Yang Pingan, and made it clear that he didn't want to take him, so Cao Zhiqiang didn't force him, but just gave him ten yuan to deal with and eat outside.

This naturally made Yang Ping'an grateful and excited.

Cao Zhiqiang is a time traveler, and the money came quickly, and he was not short of money. It may be because he didn't feel deeply, but there are really few people who can eat ten yuan for a meal at this time.

Just for the ten yuan, Yang Ping'an made a lot of money.

Cao Zhiqiang is not ignorant of the purchasing power of banknotes in this era, but it is difficult to completely change the habits of previous lives.

Besides, he always felt a little sorry for not bringing Yang Pingan to dinner, so at the beginning, he paid 20 yuan.

It's a pity that the other party firmly refused to take the 20 yuan he gave, pushing and pushing, and finally only accepted ten yuan.

Yang Ping'an accepted it with trembling hands for just ten yuan, but Cao Zhiqiang looked awkward.

How to put it, Cao Zhiqiang never really regarded Yang Anan as a real person, after all, he didn't have that concept.

But for some reason, Yang An'an always put his position very low, and never dared to really hook up with Cao Zhiqiang and call him a brother, even though Cao Zhiqiang kept talking about brothers.

In the old saying, he has good eyesight, knows how to advance and retreat, and knows his duty, which should be a good thing, but Cao Zhiqiang always feels weird, a bit like being accepted by the old society.

You know, although Cao Zhiqiang regarded Yang Pingan as a subordinate employee, in his day, it was normal for the boss to discuss friendship with employees, so Cao Zhiqiang really had no airs, at least he never thought of showing off in front of Yang Pingan.

But as for Yang An'an himself, he consciously put himself in the position of a follower and a servant, and has always been very careful.

It was not until a long time later that Cao Zhiqiang realized that the main reason why Yang Ping'an did this was that he gave too much.

Not to mention the monthly salary of [-], which is far beyond the salary of ordinary people, let alone the money to let him learn to drive.

Learning to drive these days is really not cheap, and it is not easy. Generally, only people with formal units can learn to drive.

If you want to learn to drive without a formal unit, you can only go to an automobile technical school to learn to drive.

That's right, at this time, the place where you learn to drive is not called a driving school, but a technical school.
The tuition fee is [-] yuan to study in an automobile technical school. Normally, it takes at least one year to graduate. After graduation, you can get an internship certificate and you can officially drive. After a year of internship, there is no problem before you can get a real driver's license.

At this time, learning to drive is not only learning to drive, but also learning to repair the car, which is quite troublesome.

I think back when the stick learned to drive, there was no serious driving school in China. He learned to drive first from the driver at the work unit, and learned while following the car. If you pass the exam, you will be given an internship certificate.

Continue to practice with the car for a year without any problems, and then formally get a driver's license and officially drive someone else, which is just as troublesome.

Although Bang Geng didn't spend much money on driving and didn't go to a driving school to learn to drive, he needed a unit relationship, which is more scarce than money.

Now, there are driving schools where ordinary people can learn to drive. As long as ordinary people are adults, they can go to school after paying a fee. After graduation, they can get a practice certificate, and after a year of practice, they can get a full driver's license.

However, that was [-] tuition fees, relying on Yang Ping An himself, he could not save it for several years without eating or drinking, but Cao Zhiqiang promised to pay for him to learn to drive. Could he not cherish this opportunity?

Yang An'an's humbleness is only because Yang An'an himself is too humble. He is just a three-wheeler, has no formal unit, no big backer, and a big family to support. It can be said that he has been carrying forward with heavy burdens, and has always been eager to change. Life, but do not know how to change.

After finally finding a Cao Zhiqiang, of course he had to hold on tightly for fear that something might go wrong.

This is like an otaku who has no education, no good looks, no girlfriend, has not had a job for a long time, and is disliked by his family all day, suddenly meets a noble man on the street.

This nobleman said that you have wonderful bones and wants you to be his follower. He will give you 3 yuan a month, and he will give you 1000 yuan in consumption every now and then, and a bonus of [-] to [-] yuan at every turn...

Damn, if it were him, he would have to be careful and cherish this rare opportunity, for fear of losing his job.

In the final analysis, there has never been any real slavishness or non-slavery, there is, just because you give enough, it is not worthwhile to follow you.

In this era, Cao Zhiqiang has given Yang Ping An too much, too much.

Cao Zhiqiang may give fifty to hundreds of dollars, which he may not think is a big deal, but the money can allow Yang Ping An to easily support a family of six, and it can also allow the six people to live a good life.

For this good day, Yang Ping'an also had to be careful.

Yang An'an knew very well that without Cao Zhiqiang, he might not be able to climb up if he only relied on his own efforts, and he would be a low-level person all his life.

But with Cao Zhiqiang's appreciation, it will be different.

Not to mention the monthly salary of [-], nor the bonus of [-], but to say that he will spend [-] yuan to send him to learn to drive... This is a great kindness.

Not everyone is like a white-eyed wolf like a stickler, especially this kind of stubborn boss who came from a low-level background. Deep down in his heart, he values ​​​​loyalty, and he also attaches great importance to the idea of ​​​​a person who dies for his confidant.

Otherwise, the little bastard back then had nothing to do with him. If he wanted money but no money, he wanted power but no power. He was only ruthless enough to beat him, and he was just righteous. Why would a bunch of little friends be so determined to him?

Isn't it just that everyone is grassroots and has nothing, so they are even more obsessed with ancient promises and gold, and there are people who die for their confidants?

Otherwise, righteousness kills more dogs every time.

The more this kind of low-level people who live at the bottom and are willing to support their wives and brothers and sisters, they are the real loyal people.

It is precisely because Yang Ping'an cherishes this opportunity and Cao Zhiqiang as a noble person too much that he is so cautious, for fear of losing his thigh, not because he is really born with servility.

The kind of people who have no eyesight, are rampant when they are successful, and are even complacent because they know a little bit of the boss's secrets.

On this point, Yang An'an understood very clearly, and it was precisely because of this that he kept his position in the right place.

Yang An'an is not someone in his early twenties who doesn't understand anything, but someone who has experienced hardships. This kind of talent is the most clear.

In fact, among all living beings, there is more than one Yang Ping An.

It's just that most people don't have the opportunity for Yang Ping'an.

It is true that opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared, but in most cases, there are many people who are prepared, but there are too few opportunities and too few noble people.

Maxima is common, but Bole is not commonly used, which is the reason.

Those who seize the opportunity but are not prepared will naturally be brushed off sooner or later.

But those who are prepared but have no chance, don't even have a chance to be brushed off.

Knowing one's duty, knowing how to advance and retreat, seizing opportunities and not letting go, trading loyalty for future, and always being ready to take advantage of the situation, this is the consensus of these bottom-level people.

In fact, the later Cao Zhiqiang did recruit many people like Yang Anan, and they were of great help to his career.

Of course, those are things for later, let's not mention them for now.

Having said that, after Cao Zhiqiang entered the restaurant with Hao Shuwen, Hao Shuwen ordered the food and also ordered red wine.

However, Cao Zhiqiang didn't like the red wine here, because he heard in his previous life that the red wine in the Xinqiao Hotel in this period was all cheap, and there was no serious red wine at all.

I don't know if it's true or not, but he doesn't want to be a guinea pig.

Besides, there are still many bottles of really good red wine in his space, all of which are genuine products signed by the system.

It's a pity that Cao Zhiqiang really doesn't like red wine. Instead of drinking authentic high-end red wine with a chocolate flavor, he thinks it's better to drink craft beer.

Really, he thinks Arctic Ocean soda tastes better than red wine.

As for using red wine as a pretense, it is only played by people of this era, but in Cao Zhiqiang's view, red wine is just a kind of fruit wine, not something high-end at all.

In Cao Zhiqiang's view, the so-called red wine culture is nothing more than a far-fetched pretentious culture.

Hao Shuwen didn't know Cao Zhiqiang's mentality and thinking, but when she heard that Cao Zhiqiang didn't drink alcohol, and he didn't drink at all, she didn't say it was casual, instead she kept persuading him to drink, and she persuaded him very vigorously.

And she said at every turn, real men have to drink, and if you don't drink, you won't be given noodles.

In desperation, Cao Zhiqiang had no choice but to drink red wine with her.

At first, Cao Zhiqiang was still a little nervous, thinking that the other party was a woman whose drinking capacity could not be ignored, but now he himself, at best, can only drink three bottles of beer, which is quite normal.

But soon he was relieved.

It's not that Cao Zhiqiang's drinking capacity has improved, but that the other party's drinking capacity is worse than his own.

The two parties only drank three glasses of red wine each. Cao Zhiqiang didn't feel much, but Hao Shuwen was already dying.

After Hao Shuwen drank the first glass of wine, her face began to flush.

After drinking the second glass of wine, he was already drunk and blurred.

After drinking the third glass of wine, she began to lose control of her mouth. Cao Zhiqiang didn't ask anything, just talking non-stop by himself. A typical person is addicted to food and not good at wine.

She keeps talking about herself.

Why her family is very strict, very patriarchal, her parents don't care about her, she has not been valued by her parents since she was a child.

When she grew up, in order to escape from that strict and unfeeling family, she went to the art troupe and became an accordion player.

Later, the art troupe disbanded, and in order to have a way out, she married someone early after the art troupe disbanded.

However, that man doesn't love her at all.

She said that the reason why she married him back then was because the two families were well-matched and both families were very satisfied. Due to the pressure of her parents, and one day she was drunk, she was accidentally fucked by him, and she accidentally had a child. Had to marry him.

However, after getting married, that man often stays out at night, always saying that he is busy with work.

Later, she knew a fact that broke her down, that is, her husband actually had a mistress outside, and he had sex with that mistress during her pregnancy.

She quarreled with the other party, but in the end, she didn't get the other party's shame, but she got ridiculed by the other party, saying that she married him to seek their family's power, and she was useless except for spending money.

Then, Hao Shuwen began to cry and said that she didn't need to do this at all, saying that if she hadn't married that man back then, with her ability and level, she could have been admitted to university like her good friend, and she didn't have to be angry at all.

At that time, she was obsessed with seeing him away, so she followed that good-looking man, but she didn't expect him to be a scum.

At first, she thought that her husband just didn't understand the style and was just busy trying to find a way all day long, so he wouldn't accompany her to go shopping, eat and chat romantically.

But later it was discovered that it wasn't that his husband didn't know style or that he didn't have time for romance, but that he didn't know style with her and had no romance with her.

With other women, his husband is very flirtatious and romantic.

He is proficient in playing the trumpet downstairs in the middle of the night, having a candlelight dinner in the wild, and making courtship with flowers.

But when he came to her, her husband was like a stranger, too tired to talk too much.

Now she regretted it and wanted to leave him, but was afraid of leaving him.

This is not just a problem involving children, there are a lot of problems.

Although she looks glamorous now, she is actually a housewife without a job.

The husband doesn't go home every day, and lives in Xiaosan's house every day, and doesn't take her seriously at all.

She thought about divorce and resistance, but when she thought about the days after divorce, she felt extremely helpless.

Because her family is very traditional and pays attention to the water splashed by the married daughter. Whether it is the parents or the elder brother, they never turn to her.

Now she doesn't get support and help from her family at all, but she looks glamorous, but in fact she is very lonely and helpless, and only she knows the panic in her heart.

In other words, although she hated his husband, she couldn't divorce him because of practical reasons.

After all, the union between her and her husband is just a need for the marriage of the two families, not an emotional need at all.

It is the two families who need this marriage, not her and her husband.

Not only is she annoyed by her husband, but her husband is also annoyed by her. Everyone is just maintaining a superficial marriage.

Once she chooses to divorce, not to mention her father-in-law and mother-in-law's family, her biological parents will definitely object.

And without the support of her parents and her husband's family, what can she do as a woman?
She can't do anything!
She can't work in a factory, and the art troupe won't want her either.

Even if she wanted her, the salary of the art troupe is not enough for her daily expenses at all.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Who would want to live a poor life when they are used to enjoying the good life?

She is used to being extravagant, and she can no longer bear the days without money.

But without the support of her husband's family, her life would be in trouble immediately, all the glamor would be gone, and no one would sympathize with her.

Now that she is like this, at least she can still receive the money from her husband on time every month, even if he only gives it to maintain his appearance and for the sake of his children.

But no matter what, she now has a big house to live in, has money to spend, has a nanny, and is respected and envied by others. She lives better than ordinary people, much better than many people.

However, although she has money and leisure now, she is very lonely and empty, so in order to get bored, she started playing music again.

Originally, she continued to play the accordion, but unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer people playing the accordion now, and there are no bosom friends at all.

By chance, she came into contact with the guitar, and was immediately fascinated by the tone of the guitar.

Later, she joined a group of guitar lovers. Everyone usually learns and plays guitar from each other, and they enjoy themselves.

It can be said that playing the guitar has become her spiritual sustenance now, and she has now become the core figure of the team of guitar lovers.

She also said that Cao Zhiqiang's level is so high that he should join them. In this way, they can improve each other, which is better than playing alone.

After saying this, she scolded her husband and mistress again, her parents, and her parents-in-law.

Anyway, in her mouth, her misfortune was all because she married the wrong person, it was all other people's fault!
She still misses the past very much, misses her days when she was in the art troupe, and misses her friends and comrades in arms.

She said that the time in the art troupe was the best time in her life.

It's a pity that with the disbandment of the art troupe, that best time is gone forever.

While talking, she suddenly thumped, her head lay on the table, and she couldn't get drunk.

Seeing this situation, Cao Zhiqiang, who had been forced to be a listener, was taken aback for a moment, and quickly called her a few times.

Cao Zhiqiang was speechless when he found that she couldn't wake up no matter how much he called her or even pushed her.

"Fuck, isn't this a babysitter? Are you pretending to be drunk with me here?"

Pushing the other party again, Cao Zhiqiang sighed when he found that the other party was still motionless, like a puddle of mud.

Well, this should be really drunk, not like it was intentional.

This is very speechless.

Because it was agreed to be her treat before, but now that she looks like this, doesn't she make it clear that she will pay for it?
Although he didn't care about the "little money" of 80 yuan, this matter was very complicated and a little awkward.

In desperation, Cao Zhiqiang had no choice but to call the waiter, first paid for the meal, and then simply opened a room, and then called two waitresses, who helped the drunk Hao Shuwen up, and took them directly to the room to rest.

As for Cao Zhiqiang, he didn't stay, he just paid the rent one day in advance, and then left with his guitar on his back.

Yes, Cao Zhiqiang regarded it as meeting a female liar, and he didn't have much to lose anyway.

It's nothing more than having a western meal with someone, and then spending money to book a room for him.

Think of it as a fee for eating and chatting with you.

After all, the other party not only has a good story, but also looks not ugly, right?

Also, if the other party is ugly, let alone eat and listen to stories, Cao Zhiqiang would not have spent so much time talking to her before, playing so many tunes for her, and singing that song.

So, if you look good, it's a foul!
