Confession letter to classmate Jiang

Chapter 106 Borrowing money but not getting it
This snow fell intermittently, and the weather cleared up in the afternoon, the snow on the ground began to melt, and the temperature was lower than when it snowed.

Pedestrians on the road were tightly wrapped, hurriedly walking in different directions.

Lu Guoming walked aimlessly along the street that he had walked countless times.

After paying off his wages in the morning, he came out of Zhongding International Shopping Mall and stood blankly on the square for a long time, looking at the scattered buildings in the distance and nearby, feeling desolate in his heart.

A bone-chilling chill crawled up from the soles of his feet, and his whole body couldn't help shivering.

The work he had done for more than four years was gone if he said nothing, but he had nowhere to appeal for grievances.

As Lu Guoming walked, he was thinking about what to do next. At his age, it was too difficult to find a suitable job in the short term.The family can't expect Xia Zhu to make money alone, Lu Yu will be in his third year of high school in a blink of an eye, and going to college will cost money, and the two old people are getting old, and every now and then a sickness will cost a lot of money...

I can't think about it, the more I think about it, the more pressure I get.

Lu Guoming wiped his frozen face. For the first time, he felt like escaping. He didn't want to go home so soon, and he didn't know how to face his family.

He just kept walking, walking through the streets and alleys.

Wu Zang Temple was so hungry that he stopped to check his phone. It was four o'clock in the afternoon.

Time flies so fast.

Originally, he only wanted to escape for two hours, but who knows, most of the day passed in a flash.

Lu Guoming raised his head and looked around, intending to find a restaurant and solve the problem of eating first before going back.

In the criss-crossing old pedestrian street, the most indispensable thing is restaurants. Looking at the past, there are all kinds of small fried shops in a row.Signature dishes are pasted with eye-catching red tape on the glass door, and the prices of each restaurant are not bad.

Lu Guoming picked a house at random, opened the thick cotton curtain and entered.

Before the meal time, there was only one table inside, and there was still a person alone, and the rest of the tables were empty.

"Sit casually, how many?" The proprietress came out from the back kitchen and greeted with a smile.

"One." Lu Guoming sat down at the table next to him, looking up at the menu posted on the wall.

The proprietress came to him, holding a small notebook and a ballpoint pen in her hand, ready to order food for him: "What do you want to eat? The dishes are all just processed in the afternoon, and they are very fresh."

Lu Guoming smiled, and asked first: "What are the big and small portions here?"

The proprietress turned around and brought him two plates for comparison: "The small portion is usually for one person, and the large portion is enough for two or three people. If you want to try more dishes, I suggest you choose the small portion."

"Understood." Lu Guoming nodded, and ordered with confidence, "I want a fried sausage, a pepper fried pork, a braised octopus, and a vegetable dish, and you can arrange it."

"Will fried broccoli work?"

"Row."

"What would you like to drink?"

"A bottle of Erguotou."

The proprietress' hand paused for a while, and Chi asked, "A bottle?"

Lu Guoming confirmed: "That's right."

"Our drinks can be sold at the same price." The proprietress explained to him in fear that the customer would not be clear.

"I know, I want a bottle." Lu Guoming insisted.

The proprietress stopped talking about him, tore off a piece of paper and went to the back kitchen, ordering the chef to cook.

The ingredients have been prepared in advance, and they only need to be stir-fried in the pan. It doesn't take long for several dishes to come out of the pan, and they are brought to the table in front of Lu Guoming one by one.

The middle-aged man at the next table picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip of the white wine.He hadn't touched wine for a long time, and his brows were wrinkled because of the pungent taste.

Seeing that Lu Guoming didn't eat a mouthful of food, and drank two glasses of wine without changing his face, he was really surprised.

Just because I stared at him curiously for a long time, I didn't notice the crisp sound coming from the stool I was sitting on. The next second, there was a "bang", the old plastic stool cracked, and two of the four stool legs broke. It fell apart.

Jiang Xuewen was unprepared, fell backwards, and almost fell off his back, but Lu Guoming was good at his skills, quick reaction and great strength, and grabbed him.

If it were someone else, maybe the two of them would fall down together.

The person stopped, but the two dishes on the side of Lu Guoming's table were accidentally knocked over, the dishes fell to the ground and broke, and the dishes inside were scattered all over the floor.

"What happened?"

The proprietress, who was busy in the back kitchen, heard the noise and ran out in a hurry, only to see a mess all over the place, damaged stools, broken plates, and scattered vegetables... She couldn't help but suspect that the two customers were fighting.

Jiang Xuewen wiped the splashed vegetable soup on his trousers without a word. The exhaustion of the day's work and the sudden accident at this moment sparked an unknown fire, and his voice inevitably became louder: "The stools in your shop are Shouldn't it be changed? I almost fell to my death, but fortunately the old man next to me gave me a hand, otherwise my old waist would not be able to withstand a fall."

The proprietress was taken aback for a moment, but she immediately came to her senses and hurried forward to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. If you don't do this, I'll give you a [-]% discount on your consumption."

Jiang Xuewen didn't have to take advantage of it. Now that the situation has been like this, there is no other way. He reluctantly accepted: "Okay, let's cook a few more dishes."

"Hey, wait a minute."

The proprietress took a broom to sweep up the garbage on the ground, and brought him a wooden chair that she was sitting on.

Just as Jiang Xuewen sat down, he belatedly remembered that he hadn't thanked anyone yet, so he turned to face Lu Guoming with a smile on his face: "Thank you so much just now, thanks to you helping me in time, otherwise I would have lost my life this time." be hospitalized."

Lu Guoming waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's a little effort."

Jiang Xuewen noticed him just now, knowing that he didn't have time to eat a bite of food, and because he helped him overturn two dishes on his table, he pondered for a while, and proposed: "If you don't mind, let's make a table together. I just ate too."

Lu Guoming was ashamed to take advantage of others because of a random move, so he immediately declined: "No..."

Jiang Xuewen didn't allow him to refuse, so he brought some dishes from his table to his table, moved the chair a little towards him, poured a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp: "I'll do it first as a respect."

Lu Guoming's kindness is hard to say: "Too polite."

"Where there is, it should be." Jiang Xuewen also poured him a glass of wine.

The two clinked a glass, they didn't drink in such a hurry, and took a shallow sip.

The proprietress came over with some appetizers, and the two men of about the same age ate and drank while chatting. The topics ranged from children's education to life and work.

Lu Guoming was full of words and didn't know who to confide in. After a few glasses of wine, the chatterbox opened up, and he poured out all the things that happened in the past few days.

Jiang Xuewen sighed and patted him on the shoulder for a long time to comfort him, without saying anything.

"I see that you would come out to drink alone before meal time, and you must be unhappy." Lu Guoming laughed foolishly, and stuffed a piece of fat intestines with chopsticks into his mouth.

Jiang Xuewen shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I found an old friend who I have known for decades to attract investment, but I didn't get it. They don't want to take risks and want stability. I can understand the rejection. It's just a little uncomfortable in my heart."

What he was looking for was none other than Li Huan's husband, Shen Huiming, who was the father of Shen Li and Shen Huan.

The friendship between Jiang's family and Shen's family originated from the friendship between Sun Jingfang and Li Huan. The children of the two families were born in the same year. The two pregnant mothers gained experience in raising children through exchanging ideas during pregnancy, and have maintained a friendly and close relationship. Frequent contacts.

In the early years, the Jiang family moved to Beicheng, where their business grew and they settled down there.The Shen family sent Li Huan over to borrow a sum of money to open a local restaurant called "Yixiang Restaurant". It was also lucky that they caught up with the good times, and the chef they hired was excellent. , the restaurant is getting more and more prosperous.Today, when it comes to the top restaurants in Lushan County, there must be a place for "Yixiang Restaurant".

The Shen family should have accumulated a lot of money over the years, and investing a sum of money will not have any impact on the original living conditions, but may even lead to a higher level.

He made a complete plan and showed it to Shen Huiming.

Shen Huiming bluntly stated that he was a big bastard before he finished watching it, and he only knew how to run a restaurant.Involving resorts, the scope of business is too wide, and he has no such ability anyway.

Jiang Xuewen said that he will be responsible for the management and operation, but now he is short of funds.

Shen Huiming politely refused.

Coming out of Shen's house, Jiang Xuewen's confidence had been hit for the past few days, and he felt unhappy, so he walked into this small restaurant, wanting to have a drink before going back.At home, Sun Jingfang was strict with him. For the sake of his health, he was not allowed to touch alcohol.

Lu Guoming was confused when he heard it: "Simply speaking, did you borrow the money?"

Jiang Xuewen was startled, and let out a hearty laugh: "That's what it means."

Lu Guoming comforted: "Take your time."

It was an ordinary dinner, because the two middle-aged men chatted speculatively, as if they were having a New Year's Eve dinner, and it was dark when the show ended.

Lu Guoming had a good capacity for alcohol, and he was fine even if he drank it by the catty. When he came out and blew a gust of cold wind, his mind cleared up, and he sighed as he looked at the bustling streets.

Jiang Xuewen was not as good at drinking as he was, so he staggered down the stairs.

Lu Guoming asked him, "How did you go back?"

"I live in a community near Lushan High School, so I took a taxi and went back."

Lu Guoming knew the location of Lushan High School very well. Lu Yu studied there. He had sent her off several times, and it was not too far from this street.

The two left their contact information before leaving, and made an appointment to have another drink next time when they were free.

Lu Guoming watched the man get into the taxi, turned around and walked towards the station.

At this time, the last bus from the county town to Ludian Township left early, so he had to change trains, first take the bus from the county to the town, and then take the town's minivan back to the countryside.
