Chapter 7 7, Home in a Foreign Land

After about two hours, the beer was all gone.

Cao Mengxing paid the bill on the pretext of going out to buy cigarettes.

Liu Gang was able to bring him out, so he could be regarded as respecting him, and he couldn't be looked down upon by others.

He really felt distressed when he heard the consumption of several hundred yuan.

This is almost my ten-day business trip subsidy and half a month's salary, which disappeared in just two hours.

No wonder Liu Gang's Uncle Dahua couldn't continue to be.

Back in the private room, the girl next to Liu Gang seemed to be not feeling well, she was so limp that she couldn't stand or sit still.

"Let's go! It's almost there."

"Leave now? Sing a little longer."

Although his thoughts were still unfinished, Liu Gang stopped and smiled at the girl.

"Hurry up, go!"

Cao Mengxing turned around and walked out without waiting for a reply.

Liu Gang was a little helpless, said a few words to the girl, and hurriedly followed.

When I went to the bar and asked, Cao Mengxing had settled the account. He was a little embarrassed, but at the same time he felt a little happy.

"I agreed to take you out to play, how can I let you spend money!"

"It would be great if you could take me out. I'll pay for your treat. But next time I won't pay. I can't afford it."

"Isn't it? Do you know why I don't like to come out now? I just threw all the money I earned here. Just that girl, I met several years ago. We used to pay in the toilet..."

"Did I delay your work?"

Cao Mengxing had been feeling sorry for spending money just now, and forgot to pay attention to Liu Gang's interest. He wanted to talk about it, so he felt a little reckless.

"What's the delay? I've known this girl for several years, and I can find her anytime. I used to spend a lot of money on her, otherwise how could she be so enthusiastic!"

Recalling the past, Liu Gang seemed to feel a little regretful, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and handed another to Cao Mengxing.

The two stopped and looked at the city through the smoke.

"I think Dahua is very good, with a good economy and a high level of consumption. As long as people are willing to spend money, there must be a market for drinks."

The men after spending the money seemed to be very calm and sober.

The heartfelt distress made Cao Mengxing understand that he is one of thousands of consumers, and there are still many people who spend a lot of money to be happy at night like this.

Money can't be spent in vain, there must be something to gain.

"That's right. The weather in Dahua is cold, and there are many people who drink alcohol. Han Baochun made his fortune on alcohol, but he is too stingy, and he can't do great things without spending money or investing."

"Since you can see the shades, why don't you do it yourself?"

"Dude! Didn't I tell you! I was too young before, and all the money I earned was spent in the crotch. When I figured it out and wanted to do something, the money was gone. Sigh!"

Young and frivolous, drinking at red lights and drinking, with beautiful women on the couch, this is the dream of many men.

"At least you still have mothers-in-law everywhere!"

The two laughed.

In the unfamiliar Dahua City, Cao Mengxing has an extra buddy, a buddy who hits it off right away, likes each other, and doesn't need to hide too much.

For him, this was the only good news after coming to Qinghe Distillery.

It was the hundreds of dollars, it was a bit unjust to spend it, and I didn't even touch it.

When I returned to the small hotel at night, it was almost 11 o'clock. Cao Mengxing was lying on the bed, but he was not sleepy at all.

The room rate in the hotel is 30 yuan a day, and there is only one bed and one TV, so I try to save money.

Each room is separated by a layer of wooden boards, and under a strong impact, it is likely that the two rooms will be combined into one.

This kind of low-cost accommodation is specially prepared for people like them in a foreign land, and no one wants to wander in a foreign land.

Cao Mengxing thought quietly, wondering how long it would take to become an expert.

Suddenly someone next door spoke, the voice was very low, but it was really heard.

"how much is it?"

"50."

"A bit expensive."

"50 is too expensive? It's useless. Do you want it? Don't go."

"If you want, go where you want to go."

A burst of shattering.

Maybe it was because there were too many mosquitoes, and soon there was a rhythmic sound of slapping mosquitoes next door, Pia! Pia! Pia!
Cao Mengxing felt dry mouth for a while, like watching a live broadcast with gauze in his eyes, only hearing his voice, but mysterious.

A woman screamed like crazy, as if being stabbed with an awl.

Then quickly quiet down.

About 5 minutes later, Cao Mengxing heard someone knocking on the door of his room, the sound was very soft.

"Who?"

In the dark, Cao Mengxing stared at the door and asked.

"Playing games? 50."

"Don't play!"

Cao Mengxing really wanted to scold a few words, but he was a little timid. People who can do business here should not be that simple.

As the footsteps went away, there was another knock on the door.

Still the same question.

A dark goddess.

Cao Mengxing didn't sleep well all night, and the man next door seemed to be sleeping contentedly, snoring loudly, even though he knocked on the partition over and over again, it still had no effect.

When Liu Gang saw him the next day, he kept yawning, one after another.

"Didn't sleep well? It wasn't too late to go back yesterday."

Liu Gang was concerned.

Cao Mengxing recounted what happened last night, and then began to curse the person who knocked on the door, as well as the Hulu King next door.

"It's not normal! You can't live in a hotel here for a long time, and you can't sleep. It's expensive and not worth it. I'll take you to rent a house, which is better than this."

It took the two of them half a day to find two rental houses.

One is a building, 70 square meters, with a monthly rent of 200 yuan, and a one-time payment of the annual rent;
One is the concierge in the yard of a one-story house. The area is about the same size, and the monthly rent is only 40 yuan. However, for heating in winter, you need to buy coal and burn your own stove.

Cao Mengxing weighed his expenses and expenses, and rented a concierge.

The regret and pain of the KTV cost last night still reverberates in his heart, plus he earns this salary, he must save as much as possible, he doesn’t want to go home with his pockets cleaner than his face, in that case, his mother Li Jinhuan must feel distressed secretly shed tears.

Liu Gang took him to buy a new quilt and sold an old wooden cabinet. This is his home in Dahua.

"Brother, you will definitely be able to do something big in the future!"

Liu Gang watched Cao Mengxing tidy up the bedding, and said leisurely.

"What do you mean?"

"With this condition and environment, no one else would live here."

"Be content! It's summer soon, and there's no need to burn the stove. Anyway, it's just a one-night stay. Isn't it much quieter here? I don't think it's safe to stay in a hotel."

"Don't tell me, staying here is really like a place to live. It's just a girl here."

"You find me one?"

"Look for it! Don't dare to say anything else. This matter is nothing to me. If you have needs, you can tell me at any time. If you are away for a long time, you can't hold back."

Liu Gang never treated himself badly in this regard, he was afraid that he would get sick if he held it back, he would get sick.

"I don't think as much as you do."

The two came out of the bungalow and looked for a place to eat.

When Cao Mengxing took out the lock to lock the door, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

Now, this is his home, and he wants to integrate into the life of Dahua City.

Here is the new starting point of his life.
