The Peach Blossom Village of the Cat Boss

Chapter 70
At the end of the meal, everyone's stomachs were full, and they were nearly [-]% full.

But still no one wanted to stop their chopsticks, they just slowed down and chatted while drinking.

Don't look at the peach wine drinking smooth and not stimulating, in fact, the alcohol content is not worse than the old man's wolfberry wine.

People like Ye Zi and Liu Hao, who can't handle alcohol, have just drank the first round, and they are already a little smug.

Everyone ate and drank happily, and the embarrassment at the beginning disappeared without a trace.

The old lady drank two glasses of peach wine, her face flushed slightly.

For a while she pulled Ye Zi to ask for warmth, and for a while she stared at Liu Hao:
"Why do I feel that this child looks so familiar?"

She seems to like children like Ye Zi and Liu Hao who seem to be obedient and sensible.

Pan Long's artistic attire made her feel a little dazzling.

"This is my deskmate from before. The one who was admitted to Qingbei University. He gave a speech on the school playground before. I remember that day you and my dad were there and praised him."

Seeing the old lady pulling Liu Hao to look at him, Wang Tianyang explained from the side.

As the school's super student, Liu Hao is a well-known figure in their entire Jianshi County.

As long as his name is mentioned, people in the county will be more or less impressed.

Moreover, he is also Wang Tianyang's deskmate.

In high school, I had a close relationship with Wang Tianyang and him.

The family usually eats, and occasionally mentions Liu Hao.

"It's you!"

The old lady was very excited immediately, as if seeing an idol, she was amazed:
"It's changed. I said why didn't I recognize it. I used to be so small, but now I look good, just like the people on TV."

"You are so handsome!"

Hearing that Liu Hao was the county champion who was admitted to Qingbei University, my father couldn't help but look sideways at him several times.

"It's like the people on TV."

Liu Hao didn't know whether he drank too much, or he was a little shy, a blush appeared on his fair skin.

He grew up in the countryside since he was a child, so he didn't know how to take care of himself.

From elementary school to high school, he always dressed in rustic clothes and had messy hair.

Occasionally, when I wake up in the morning, I don't know how to wash my face, and I run around with my eyes covered in gum.

It was only after entering a big city that I realized that such a casual living habit is not acceptable to everyone.

Everyone likes to associate with people who look decent and well-mannered.

Wang Tianyang has a deep understanding of this. Many times, he has to force himself to adapt to the environment.

But now, when he returned to his hometown, he found that even if he didn't wash his face occasionally, no one would notice.

Wang Tianyang felt that he was extremely free now.

"Over there in the imperial capital. Everyone is like this."

Liu Hao smiled bitterly, and silently took a sip of wine.

In the past, he didn't like to tidy himself up, and his clothes were always loose.

But after a long time, he silently summed up an experience.

In a large factory, people with certain positions actually pay a certain amount of attention to their appearance.

He couldn't figure out the logic behind this matter, but the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't ignore them.

Since then, he has started to pay attention to his own image, preferring to get up earlier in the morning, but also to wash his hair and tidy up in front of the mirror.

In fact, he was extremely tired of it.

Getting up every day seemed like an invisible burden to him.

The father and mother did not see the distress in Liu Hao's eyes, and they talked about work again.

After hearing that Liu Hao's monthly salary was more than [-] yuan, everyone at the table gasped except for Wang Tianyang.

There were exclamations and praises incessantly.

Only Wang Tianyang noticed that when Liu Hao answered these questions, he didn't see much joy or pride in his eyes, but was full of loneliness.

He was answering while drinking mulled wine.

"Today's young dolls are incredible!"

The old lady was amazed.

After complimenting Liu Hao, she seemed to feel that she shouldn't lose sight of the other, and excitedly went to ask Pan Long and Ye Zi again.

Wang Tianyang didn't have time to stop him, so my old lady asked:
"What about you two? What kind of work are you doing now, and how much is it a month?"

Ye Zi and Pan Long looked at each other and fell silent.

The academic performance of the two of them was mediocre in high school, and there was not much news after that.

Wang Tianyang felt that they should not be as good as Liu Hao.

You know, in Wang Tianyang's memory.

Even by 2022, there will be more than 6 million people in China with a monthly income of less than 1000 yuan.

[-] million people, what a huge number!
In this glamorous modern society, many people are living beyond their means and doing their best.

Wang Tianyang doesn't think that if he earns less money, he is inferior to others.

Being able to live hard is already very respectable.

He just wanted to change the subject, but Pan Long smiled and told the truth with the strength of wine:

"Me, I'm not as powerful as Rat and Old Wang."

"I'm delivering food in the provincial capital now. I deliver about 5000 orders a day, and I can earn [-] yuan a month. When I'm lucky, I can work hard and barely earn [-] yuan."

He also took a sip of wine, and shook his head bitterly:

"But I can't do it, I'm too tired! Basically, I have to stay up all day to earn so much."

"It's not good for your health, and if you don't sleep, you're prone to accidents when you ride a bike on the road. I fell once before. I was lucky and scratched my skin."

"A friend I know didn't have such good luck and ended up in the hospital."

"I don't plan to do this all the time. I heard that drawing makes money, so I signed up for a class. Now I'm learning illustration. But recently I heard that there are too many people learning this, and the price can't be sold."

"I want to cry but have no tears."

Having said that, Pan Long fell silent.

The old lady didn't know how to answer the words for a while.

"5000 yuan is actually not bad. Now that I'm back in my hometown, I'm eating and drinking my old lady. I can't earn a dime."

Wang Tianyang said with a smile.

In fact, he really thought that Pan Long was very powerful.

He is so busy delivering food, he can still use his spare time to study and improve himself.

Many people today cannot do this.

"You can cooperate with big stars to shoot videos, and you still need money?"

Knowing that Wang Tianyang was comforting him, Pan Long raised his wine glass and touched Wang Tianyang with a smile.

"5000 yuan is already a lot, okay?"

At this time, Ye Zi on the side couldn't help frowning and complaining:
"I'm working as a receptionist in a hotel now, and it's only 3200 a month. If someone like you wants to cry, why don't I jump into the river?"

Among the three, she earns the least, but has the most vitality.

Those shining eyes were completely different from the melancholy in Liu Hao and Pan Long's eyes.

She looks forward to the future very much:

"I have saved 5 yuan now, and I don't want to do this again after working for a few years! I am so angry! I plan to open a small shop by myself, and I don't need to make a lot of money. I will live comfortably every day in the shop "

"If I can save some more money at that time, I will go back and renovate the house my dad left me, and build a small yard. Plant some flowers in the yard and set up a swing."

"I'm tired of opening a shop, so I go back to my hometown and lie on the swing to drink tea. Find friends to play mahjong, just think about it and feel comfortable!"
