Reborn next door twins first grow up

Chapter 189 Your brother has grown up (two in one 6k)

In the courtyard, Lu Man's narration was steady and powerful, and his voice was full of spirit.

Lu Weihua listened seriously to his son talking about his experience in Binhai Normal University, he unconsciously held chopsticks in his hands to pick up vegetables, and he picked up and put down a fried silkworm chrysalis, obviously not paying attention to filling his stomach at all, almost Minutes passed, but I didn't take a bite of the dish.

The dishes have not tasted the five flavors, and the wine has been drunk three rounds first.Lu Weihua only had a surprised look on his face when he heard it, and from time to time he raised his wine glass to his mouth.

I just feel that this wine has more taste than usual, and the taste is stronger. The taste is not soft and spicy, but there is also a ray of clear and cool.

After Lu Man finished explaining the details, he handed over the photo album on his mobile phone, and Lu Weihua flipped through the photos frequently.

The classrooms of the university are in full swing, the artists and photographers in front of the computer are busy; the photos of the documents dazzle him, and at the end of each document there is a school’s approval stamped with a stamp with a red star; The customer waiting in the team, the daughter of Gu Yan's family helping her son check the receipts in front of the bank...

One after another, Lu Weihua had to admit that his son had really accomplished an extraordinary event.

For a long time, the family in the courtyard was silent and quiet, only the chirping and hissing of the cicadas lying on the tree.

"call--"

Lu Weihua breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his wife Liu Jing, then turned to his son Lu Man, and shook the wine glass in his hand: "Pour some?"

Lu Xiaoshuang was startled, and hastily observed her mother Liu Jing's expression carefully.Is dad afraid of being cut by mom?How dare you persuade your brother to drink with him?

Unexpectedly, Liu Jing just got up to get a new cup: "In our house, make an exception. From now on, you two, father and son, can't steal a drink without me."

This is her husband, who fully agrees with her son.It's not easy for her to spoil her husband's interest, as she said in the room just now, she believes in her son and pins all her hopes of getting Lu Weihua over to Lu Manman.

Taking the cup from Liu Jing, Lu Weihua asked his son Lu Man: "Have you tried your own cup?"

"It's less than half a catty." Lu Man lied without changing his face.

Lu Weihua pondered for a while, and poured half a glass for his son: "This amount is not good, and I said that I can't drink it outside."

"En." Lu Man nodded.

"When you're away from home, people's hearts can't be predicted. When you meet and talk, you should keep three points, and you can't show how much you drink, and you can't drink too much."

"When it's time to be threatened by business orders or job promotions, don't believe that nonsense 'if you don't drink, you won't give me face'. You are forced to drink, drink at most, and finally lie down and pretend to be uncomfortable. "

"Yes." Lu Man still nodded in agreement.

"Remember again, if someone persuades you, you don't have to get close to that person. They are all friendships, friends, and friends who can't be friends with each other. I don't want to take you as a person."

After Lu Weihua finished explaining, it was originally a parent's entrustment to teach the children's own words when they first entered the society. After he finished speaking, he laughed at himself.

Whether or not the son needs to be taught by himself, and whether he can be taught by himself, is another matter.

"The world has really changed."

Lu Weihua picked up a mouthful of dry-stir-fried cabbage, and looked at Liu Jing who was still holding the 3 yuan in her hand. The middle-aged man was quite emotional.

"When I was your age, I just found a job as a driver for the owner of a sand factory, with a salary of tens of dollars a month. I often partnered with you, Uncle Gu, to go to the big market to buy things, and to eat tofu at the market at noon. The stuffing is on fire. Only on the day when the wages are paid, do you dare to order two pork stuffing, try something new."

"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, my son is more capable than me."

Lu Man saw that his father's chatterbox was already open, so he took the opportunity to talk about serious topics: "Dad, you run our clothing store, isn't it booming? Why did the business suddenly improve this year, and how did you make so much money?" payment?"

"The market is good." Lu Weihua was blinded by the alcohol, and squinted his eye sockets. "The living standard is good, and the people will have spiritual development. Our county is also a special demonstration area for costumes. This kind of costumes There are more goods sold.”

"Every household is selling big orders, red clothes for Yangko dance, martial arts clothes for Kung Fu and Tai Chi swordsmanship, and red star green military uniforms for model dramas."

Lu Man asked persuasively: "Is it because there are so many orders? What will the big clothing manufacturers in the county do this year, so we will follow suit?"

"Well, the harvest is guaranteed in drought and flood, but it can't make a lot of money." Lu Weihua nodded.

"What about the second half of the year? What will our family do?"

In normal times, Lu Weihua would not be in the mood to discuss business matters with his son.

Things that can make money are complex and changeable. It is not easy to collect tickets from others. All walks of life have a lot of skills.

He thinks so from the bottom of his heart. A child who is still studying has no social experience, let alone business experience.

But today, he had to pay attention.

I seem to... have underestimated the potential of today's children too much.

"In the second half of the year, just like the first half of the year, continue to stock up according to these items." Lu Weihua picked up the cup and handed it to his mouth.

Lu Man shook his head: "The sales in the second half of the year will not be good. I dare say that next year's sales will be cut a lot compared to this year, or even cut in half."

Lu Weihua's hand paused and stopped in mid-air.

"impossible."

He thought for a while, then slowly shook his head.

"Clothes are seasonal shipments that come and go throughout the year, son, do you understand that? It's popular and circulated, at least it starts every year."

"Take our family's store as an example. Yesterday, your mother just wholesaled a bunch of children's dance socks. The pure white ones must be sold. The children don't practice dancing, and the mother at home also likes to buy them back for the little dolls. I wear light trousers when I wear skirts, so I buy more every year."

"But for other colors, cartoon prints were popular last year, and red, yellow, and purple solid colors became popular this year. In the past, the printed products sold less, but this year there is no delay, and all the leftovers can be sold. Make some more money."

When it comes to his areas of expertise in raising his family, Lu Weihua speaks confidently and clearly.

But Lu Man said: "Dad, in the second half of the year, you should pay less for Yangko clothes and Kung Fu clothes. You can buy more for red performance clothes like military uniforms, and you can earn a lot of money."

"Huh?" Lu Weihua squinted his eyelids, showing a puzzled face, "Who did you listen to?"

"It's not who said it."

Lu Man shook his head and analyzed for Lu Weihua: "Because this year is the 85th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, units and organizations all over the country are arranging celebrations. Yangko suits and kung fu suits, which are suitable for medium and large-scale performances, are naturally suitable for performances. much more."

Lu Weihua opened his eyes slightly, and tapped his fingers on the table. He was not in a hurry to speak, and quietly listened to what his son had to analyze.

"This year is really a coincidence. In the second half of the year, there will be similar important dates, such as the 75th anniversary of September 70th and the [-]th anniversary of the victory of the Long March...these days are also very important, but the nature has completely changed."

After hearing what Lu Man said, Lu Weihua stopped his hand and patted his thigh, his tone suddenly said: "On this kind of day, there are few happy performances, but Yongjun and Yikusitian must have something to do!"

Lu Weihua was silent for a while, some things were missing a little bit.

As for the changes in the second half of the year, if he chats with other big clothing wholesalers when stocking up in another month or two, he will also realize this.

However, his son had already noticed it.

"Son." Lu Weihua said slowly, "Why didn't you tell me these words before?"

"Before?" Lu Man showed a wry smile, "In the past, Dad, you just let me focus on my studies, and we didn't have a chance to sit down and talk about it."

The corner of Lu Weihua's mouth was bitter, and he sighed helplessly.

This is the case. This is a common problem of some parents. Many parents have the habit of thinking that children only need to be obedient, and they are not worthy of respectful communication with their parents.

"Dad, 360 lines are interlaced like a mountain. Our family has always been a clothing store. There are so many ways and sayings on the things we sell, let alone other things that we are not familiar with."

Lu Man stared at his father intently. The contrast between the whiteness of his temples and his dark skin made him more exhausted in middle age.

"When selling costumes, we also pay attention to supply and demand, and genuine goods. In the first half of the year, our family sold a lot, and basically no returns, right? In addition to having a market, our store also uses solid materials. Kung Fu After the clothes are sold, the old men and women can still wear them for morning exercises after they have participated in the parade."

"Then what if it's an inflated price? We sell daily necessities that can be bought for five yuan. Who else would buy them?"

Lu Weihua held his wine glass and remained silent.

The son is criticizing him for doing what Choi Rae limit.

"Son...our family...your father has accumulated popularity in the past 20 years, and has known so many big clients. The Cui Lai limit that your uncle wants to partner with our family, you don't have to worry about sales, dad has plenty of ways..."

Lu Weihua's mouth twitched, but facing his son who had become stronger, and Lu Man's analogy was justified, his confidence was greatly shaken.

Lu Man let out a heck.

"Even if you pull the heads of relatives and friends and make them buy some with difficulty, the things you buy back are not easy to use, and they are expensive and bloody."

"Dad, think about it, the customers with the strongest relationship, the closest relatives who walk around, consume their trust, but covet the petty profits and give them high-priced fakes, don't you still want to poke our family's spine in the back! "

Once you really study it carefully, you can't stand the analysis of the sloppy ways of picking up the appearance of the dream of making money and ruining it.

"Wei Hua."

The grandma, who had been silently watching the communication between her children and grandchildren, spoke softly.

"Wei Hua, you came out of this yard and started from scratch. You have worked hard for 20 years. You should keep your eyes open when you look at things, right?"

"Mom." Only then did Lu Weihua realize that Lu Man's grandma had been left alone for a long time. He picked up the wine glass to refill the old man's wine, but found that her wine glass was full and she didn't drink at all.

"Xiao Man." Grandma turned her kind eyes towards Lu Man, "Your parents may not have told you in detail that your father dropped out of school at the age of 17 and went to the city to find a job. Your grandfather and I don't even have a bicycle. Buy the money for your father, he walked half a day to the place where he was an apprentice. It is not easy to have the current family fortune."

Grandma turned her head to Lu Weihua again, with a little more blame in her eyes: "I heard Xiaoman talk about it all night, and I finally understood. Why are you out of your mind? Want to sell fakes?"

Faced with his mother's admonition, Lu Weihua couldn't stand it despite his old age: "Mom, don't be angry, this is all a matter of discussion..."

Lu Xiaoshuang curled her lips and looked at her mother Liu Jing, who happened to see her mother's uncontrollable disdain just like her own.

A week ago, my father was fooled by his uncle and secretly signed a contract of more than 3000 yuan a year.It is also certain that in July, the payment of 3 yuan will continue to be thrown in.

My mother was so anxious that she didn't hesitate to quarrel with him. After the quarrel failed, she was so angry that she hid in the kitchen and secretly shed tears.

At this moment, Dad dare not say that he did not listen to dissuasion.

Grandma knocked on the table with her fingers, but the old and weak woman let out a deep voice: "Wei Hua, as you get older, don't live longer and go back! Do what you do and love what you do."

"Those clients, friends and relatives you have recruited, friendship is priceless, but if you cheat them once, it will hurt your heart, and it will be difficult to get together again. Don't be messy!"

Lu Weihua sat awkwardly on the stool. Seeing this, Lu Man raised his wine glass and sent it forward.As if relieved, Lu Weihua took advantage of the opportunity to bump into his son, and drank a sip of wine to hide his embarrassment.

And when Lu Weihua casually poured another glass for Lu Man, Lu Xiaoshuang on the side panicked: "Mom, take care of Xiao Man!"

Liu Jing gave her daughter Xiaoshuang a reassuring look: "Your brother is not telling the truth."

She moved towards Lu Xiaoshuang's position, and the mother and daughter whispered.

"Your father's quantity is not good enough, just one more cup, and he will fall asleep."

"Oh~ what about my brother?"

"Look at your brother's expression, he knows it in his heart."

"I looked at the father and son. It's hard to say. The big one competes with the young one. Your dad can't beat the young one."

After drinking two more cups, Lu Weihua felt his stamina increase, and the son in front of him seemed to start to sway from side to side.

But he was still conscious, and his eyes couldn't stop staring at the 3 yuan in Liu Jing's hand.

"Son, in your opinion, what should our family do?"

"It's very simple." Lu Man's tone was very firm, "Don't touch that thing!"

"What if Dad really makes money..." Lu Weihua recalled the lectures he attended, and the lecturer's brainwashing words on the stage promised a bright future of huge profits...

Lu Man shook his head and smiled: "Dad, how much do you plan to earn to be satisfied?"

"Invest [-] yuan, sell it a year, and earn more than [-] yuan—"

Lu Man interrupted repeatedly: "Dad, then you can trust your son, now you can earn [-] yuan in a few days, and you can go further in the future. Our family doesn't need crooked ways, relying on betraying the bottom line, cheating, and making money. If you get rich for a while, you won’t be able to keep your fortune for a lifetime.”

Lu Weihua was speechless for a moment, and after a while, he took another sip of wine. It seemed that only by relying on the truth after drinking, could he be ashamed to tell his son what was in his heart.

"Son, I know what you're worried about."

He stared straight ahead of him, but his eyes seemed to be out of focus.

"Your grandma is right. Our family started from scratch, and it's not easy all the way. I also think that after you and Xiaoshuang are both married, parents can give you better material conditions and living environment. "

"Dad." Lu Man called softly.

Lu Weihua smiled at his son.

"Hey, I don't usually have a chance. Let's make it today, and Dad will tell you how Dad made his fortune along the way."

"More than 20 years ago, my dad and your Uncle Gu worked together as a driver. Later, when I found out that they were making money by transporting sand and rocks, your Uncle Gu took me to do it alone. Later, I saw a stone cutting factory. Large cutting machines need Lubrication, industrial oil is used a lot, so I will partner with you, Uncle Gu, to supply petrochemical oil to factories of all sizes."

Lu Man listened quietly. Although he had learned about the struggle history of the previous generation from other sources, it was the first time he heard his father seriously talk about it before and after rebirth.

It may be that I and my father used to be inseparable between studies, work and life. Communication with parents has become a dispensable option. The more relatives, the easier it is to ignore each other's feelings, so I never I haven't really had a heart-to-heart relationship with my father.

"Your Uncle Gu has gradually become a scale. He thinks that instead of buying low and selling high, it is better to build his own factory to produce industrial oil. At that time, I was shocked. In the [-]s, the entire county could count the number of cars. Who can guarantee whether the future industrial development can support the consumption of oil products... I quit, and there are a lot of clothing in the county, and I felt safe, so I started the clothing business."

Lu Weihua was already a little too drunk, but the more he talked, the more he talked.

"Son, you may not have imagined that there were 100 logistics drivers at that time, and only the two of us dared to go it alone. Your Uncle Gu was the first to do industrial oil business, and he borrowed money to do it. There are one or two hundred sellers in the city. The retail investors of oil products, even the people from the neighboring province of Henan, came to sell and grab the market. The competition was constant, and in the end, the two of us had a hard time surviving.”

"So, I also admire you, Uncle Gu Yan." Lu Weihua barely opened his eyes, "He let me know what it means to be someone other than someone else. He runs his own factory, sells it all over the country, and cooperates with more than 1000 non-brand factories all over the country. He is the only one out of a thousand who survived, tell me, what kind of strength and luck is it that made him achieve what he is today."

Lu Weihua sighed.

"Dad knows too well that it's not easy to be a businessman. He used to live steadily. This time, he was moved after hearing your uncle talk about it."

"dad."

Lu Man just called out, but Lu Weihua rummaged through his inner pocket a few times, found a wallet, and handed it to Lu Man.

"The card of the Agricultural Bank of China is the account for receiving the payment."

Lu Weihua looked at his son with clear eyes: "Go and change the password with your mother some other day. From now on, I will only manage the store at home, earn more and less, and don't think about other thoughts."

"father!"

Lu Xiaoshuang, who was sitting across from her, jumped up high in exclamation.

She was so happy that she kept stepping on her small steps, and threw herself into Liu Jing's arms again: "Mom! Dad agreed, we don't do those things anymore!"

Liu Jing stroked her daughter's small head, and there was a faint glint of tears in her soft eyes.

Lu Man put away the bank card, grinned, and promised: "Dad, every generation has a struggle. Next, I will contribute to the family."

A generous smile appeared on Lu Weihua's face, and he waved his hands indifferently: "Since you and Xiaoshuang both think that our family harmony is the most important thing, it's good that we have enough money to spend, and Dad doesn't need to worry too much..."

"Dad can still work slowly for another 20 years. When you graduate from college, Dad will try to save you a new house, and you will have face when talking about marriage. Dad will continue to save Xiaoshuang's share..."

Lu Man felt very complicated when he heard it.

My own father is diligent and dedicated, but this time he almost acted like a philistine because of the temptation of windfall.

But he loves his children very much, and loves the family he has supported for half his life.

"Dad, you think from the beginning to the end that if we save a house for our children, our family will be able to relax, is that so?"

"Isn't that right? Wealth and thrift are up to the people. In our family, we eat as much food as we want, but who wants to talk about marriage now that we need a house car gift..."

"Little Shuang."

Lu Man suddenly said: "Go to the house and run."

"Okay, Xiao Man!" Lu Xiaoshuang and his elder brother had a tacit understanding, and immediately rushed into the room with a gust of wind.

When she came out again later, Lu Xiaoshuang held the woven bag in her hand and pushed the opening of the bag: "Dad, take a closer look, how much is it?"

With the remaining 7 yuan in front of his eyes, Lu Weihua suddenly seemed to be sober, his mouth was slightly opened, and his jaw dropped as if it couldn't be closed.

"This this!"

Sobering up was an illusion, Lu Weihua felt dizzy again, his eyelids drooped twice, he lay down on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

"I go……"

Lu Xiaoshuang stuck out her tongue and looked at her mother Liu Jing.

My mother was right, my father really couldn't drink my brother Lu Man.

"Help your dad to the west room, cover him with a quilt, and don't let him catch a cold."

Liu Jing smiled slightly, and told her son to carry Lu Weihua to sleep.

"Okay, Mom." Lu Man naturally did his part.

The father and son, one sober and one drunk, entered the west wing.

Liu Jing looked at the father and son, Lu Xiaoshuang came to her side and hugged her arm.

"Xiao Shuang, do you feel that your brother has changed too much?"

"Is there?"

Lu Xiaoshuang shook her head, her short hair fell out suddenly.

"no?"

Although her own brother is super powerful, in Lu Xiaoshuang's heart, Lu Man is already very powerful.So now it's just that the elder brother has regained the role of the elder brother who was like a hero in her childhood.

Xiaoman has not changed, he is his closest, best, and sometimes most irritating big brother.

Liu Jing was thoughtful.

"Your brother grew up well, just like you, he always called me 'mother'.

"But all of a sudden, it seems that one day after the college entrance examination, they only call me mom."

Lu Xiaoshuang was startled.

Liu Jing sighed with emotion: "If you miss one word, it seems to call me old, the difference is huge."

"Mother?"

Liu Jing smiled.

"This is a good thing... In the same way, your father and I are getting old, so it also means that your brother has grown up?"
