A trip starting from the courtyard

The third day of the Lunar New Year, also known as Xiaonian*chao, also known as the Red Dog Day, folklore, the night of the third day of the third day is the day when mice get married, so most people will turn off the lights early and go to bed so as not to disturb the marriage of the mice.Some rice grains and cakes will also be sprinkled in the corner of the house for the mice to eat, which is called mouse cents, which means sharing a year's harvest with the mice.

When it was almost lunch time, Wang Lidong rushed to the Chaoyang Hotel next to the optical film.The restaurant was crowded with people, and many people were wandering around the restaurant to see if there were any tables vacant. At the ticket office, a waiter was pointing at the customer, cursing and spraying foam.

Seeing him enter the door, Chaochao stood up and waved his hands, "Bingkun, here."

"Catch up, Yu Hong, happy new year." Wang Lidong walked to the table, a little surprised, not only brought his daughter-in-law, but also brought his younger sister here. I haven't seen you for more than half a year. The little girl has grown a lot taller. Du's baby fat is gone, and every time we meet before, he can't help but pinch it. "Xiao Ning, you're here too."

Sun Xiaoning called out sweetly, 'Brother Bingkun, happy Chinese New Year. '

"Happy Chinese New Year." After sitting down, Wang Lidong took out three New Year's money from his pocket, handed two to Yu Hong, "It's from your two girls," and gave one to Sun Xiaoning.

"Thank you, Brother Bingkun."

Sun Xiaoning accepted the red envelope happily, Wang Lidong was generous, he gave her fifty last year, and this year will definitely not be less than last year, the most important thing is that this year's new year's money does not need to be handed over to his parents.

Wang Lidong glanced at Chaochao, wondering why did you bring your sister, and Chaochao took out three red envelopes from his coat pocket and handed them to Wang Lidong, "My parents went back to their hometown in the countryside yesterday, and a cousin left , Xiao Ning will live with me for the next two days."

"Where's the big girl?"

"My mother-in-law is taking it with me." After chasing the smoke, Wang Lidong saw him hesitant to speak, and laughed, "Speak up if you have something to say, when did you become a mother-in-law?"

"Yesterday, your elder brother and father-in-law, didn't you come to our optical film?" I thought it was the highlight moment of the Zhou family, but I didn't expect to be severely slapped in the face. The rise of the Zhou family in the past two years has many people who are envious and jealous.

Such a good opportunity, don't rush to throw stones.But it's just a good mouthful, saying everything, most of them are laughing at Zhou's father and son, overreaching to curry favor with the rich, willing to be a door-to-door son-in-law, eating soft food and so on.
Wang Lidong said indifferently, "Whatever they say, I am no longer from the Zhou family, no matter how ugly it sounds, it is none of my business."

After the three of them had been idle for a while, the National Day couple also arrived. Just as they were about to say a few words, they suddenly found that the National Day daughter-in-law's belly was a bit big, "Xiuzhi is pregnant again?"

After helping his daughter-in-law to sit firmly on National Day, he grinned with pride, "It's been more than three months, boy."

It's not good to catch up with the whole person. He tried his best and only came up with two tricks. However, there are three daughter-in-laws in four years on the National Day. They are still two men and one woman. He will soon have another man who will take care of him. Go to Bingkun.

Seeing that they couldn't catch up on the national day, they were depressed, and they were a little bit proud. Although the two are close buddies, they shouted loudly from time to time. In other respects, the two were basically the same. Only in terms of having children, he was far ahead and patted his friend on the shoulder , comfortingly handed over a Huazi.

Wang Lidong took out three red envelopes and handed them to Jin Xiuzhi, by the way congratulations to the two of them, next year's lucky money will be charged one more.

Jin Xiuzhi took the red envelope and returned three more. She was not as happy as the National Day. The three children were already devastated, and they needed another one. The extra mouths are not only for stuttering, but also for clothing. The most important thing is to have more bed, "now the children are still young, they can live together, when they grow up in the future, how can four children live in one room?
National Day is not worried at all, "Don't we still have a house?"

Several people chatted while eating, and the topic turned to work.In July last year, the timber factory was caught on fire, burning most of the factory, causing an economic loss of more than 7 yuan, and the production was suspended for nearly half a year.

Originally, the efficiency of the factory was not very good, and it was barely able to maintain no loss, and the fire made it worse.

In order to resume production, the factory incurred a large amount of debt, and the wages of the employees were directly halved. After a sip of wine on the National Day, "This Chinese New Year, the factory only distributed two catties of pork."

Yu Hong picked up the chopsticks and said, "At least your factory can still pay wages on time. Our factory hasn't paid wages for half a year."

"If you don't get paid for half a year, why don't you drink the northwest wind?"

"It's almost time to leave. Now there are only 7 people left in the factory, 5 leaders, plus me and my apprentice." Yu Hong sighed, "After the Chinese New Year, my apprentice is leaving, tell me I’m going to Guangdong Province to flip my flared trousers.”

The eyes of the couple on National Day brightened. Bell-bottom pants have become popular recently. As long as they can get the goods, they can make a stable profit. "Does your apprentice have connections?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask." Seeing that the two seemed very interested, Yu Hong asked curiously, "You also want to change your bell-bottom pants?"

The National Day daughter-in-law looked around and said in a low voice, "Two people in our unit resigned last year. They specialized in repurchasing bell-bottom pants and toad mirrors from Guangdong Province. Now they have become rich. I heard that they can earn at least this amount a month." "Speaking and raising three fingers, Yu Hong guessed, "Three hundred?"

"3000 dollars."

Three thousand?

"Is it true?" The couple stopped their chopsticks and looked at National Day. National Day didn't know if it was true or not. It was all told by her daughter-in-law. You have to have nose and eyes.

Everything is undecided, so I asked my friend, the two of them looked at Wang Lidong together, Wang Lidong smoked a cigarette, lit one and took a puff, "Now selling bell-bottom pants, as long as you don't get caught, you can definitely make money."

He pointed to the trousers worn by the four of them. They were colorful, yellow, red and white. Even the pregnant Jin Xiuzhi wore flared trousers beautifully. "How much did it cost?"

"18."

"21"

"19.5"

Wang Lidong said, "Do you know the wholesale price of a piece in Guangdong Province?"

Catch up and immediately ask, "How much?"

Wang Lidong said, "No more than 8 yuan."

"so cheap?"

"The cost of this item is actually very transparent. The ex-factory price of polyester is about 5 yuan per meter, and the material for a pair of flared pants is 1.2 meters, plus labor. The wholesale price is 8 yuan, and the profit is at least 30%." Wang Lidong sucked He took a sip of the flue, "If you use ordinary cotton cloth, the cost of a piece is no more than 1.5 yuan."

He pointed to the black toad glasses on National Day's head again, and there was an English label on the lenses, indicating that the glasses were imported, 'the blood* is very noble'.
"How much did you buy it for?"

"35 yuan, this is the internal price, at least 45 yuan outside."

"Get goods from Guangdong Province, no more than 10 yuan."

You can earn 25 yuan by selling one pair, which is equivalent to a worker's monthly salary. If you sell 100 pairs, 1000 pairs. Several people feel that the delicious food in their mouths tastes like chewing wax.

Catch-up was about to be questioned, Wang Lidong interrupted, "People come and go, it's not a place to talk, let's go to your house to chat after eating."

After a few people plucked and stuffed their stomachs, they came to Chaochao's house together.

Wang Lidong took the hot tea from Sun Xiaoning, took a sip, and said, "Now the most popular things are: flared pants, toad mirror, bat shirt, electronic watch"

The most profitable items are electronic watches. The wholesale price is more than 40 yuan, but the selling price is as high as [-] yuan. The wholesale places are also quite easy to find, all in Guangdong Province.

"Bingkun, do you know the exact address?"

"I really know this," Wang Lidong wrote down several wholesale outlets, "Lili's family has relatives in Huacheng, and the locals basically know these places.

You have to think about it clearly, it is risky to do this, and it takes three years to start if you are arrested. "

"Bingkun, don't you want to do it?"

"I don't have time," Wang Lidong declined the invitation to join the gang. With this little time, it would be better to publish two best-selling books.

Catch up with the National Day and look at each other, such a high profit, if you catch it, you will be locked up for three or four years, and your wife and children will still be yours!

It's done!

After talking about important matters, Wang Lidong sat for a while, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly mentioned Tu Zhiqiang. In 76, Tu Zhiqiang was arrested for doing business without permission and was sentenced to three and a half years. Out.

Wang Lidong suddenly felt a little emotional, time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, Tu Zhiqiang has been in there for more than three years, before leaving, the three of them made an appointment to pick up Tu Zhiqiang together.

When Wang Lidong came home, just as he stepped into the gate, Little Bean Sprout jumped up to his feet and rubbed against his thigh vigorously, his tail flicked like a windmill. Why is he so enthusiastic today, he stretched out his hand and patted the dog's head.
"Sprouts,"

"there!"

"At Dad's!"

The three fart kids chased after him, yelling, and jumped on Xiao Dou Sprout. The second child shouted, "It's my turn, it's my turn." After saying that, he climbed on Xiao Bean Sprout's back and sat firmly, and grabbed the two of them. dog ears, "drive"

Wang Lidong saw Little Bean Sprout's expression of 'help' on his face, his dog eyes were about to cry, he couldn't bear it, he lifted his second child, "Where's mother?"

The second child pointed to the study room, "Mom is over there."

Putting down the second child, let the three Douding play other things. When he came to the study, he saw his daughter-in-law sitting at the desk, writing and drawing, and Xu Dudu children's shoes obediently sitting at the desk next to him. It seemed that he was on winter vacation Operation.

He walked up to his wife, "What are you busy with?"

"came back."

Fu Lili didn't even raise her head. When she was watching TV in the morning, the top on a female star looked pretty, so she wanted to make one for herself and Dudu.

Wang Lidong leaned on the desk, "Now the timber factory is not profitable, why don't you resign and start your own business."

Fu Lili stopped writing, looked at him and said, "What business do you do?"

Wang Lidong clicked on the blueprint she was drawing, "clothing business."

"Is it still not possible for private individuals to start a company?"

"We can find a state-run factory to be affiliated with." Wang Lidong stopped when he said this. Doing so will leave a lot of sequelae. When the company grows bigger in the future, it will inevitably cause trouble. In this country, there is not even a professional clothing magazine. Use this to practice first, and then open a clothing company when Zheng Ce is released in the future."

Clothing magazine?

Fu Lili frowned slightly, she had never done this before, and it required a lot of professionals, but there is no university in the world that offers a major in fashion design.
Wang Lidong got up and found a few foreign fashion magazines from the bookshelf, it doesn't matter, just copy them.

"Copy all of them??"

"Look for a few textile majors, and then find a few art professionals. What is popular abroad, take the essence and discard the dross, and combine it with our Four Seas Aesthetics and other magazines to build a reputation, and you can also collect manuscripts."

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the weather is fine and sunny, which is a good day to go out and visit.Zhou Zhi had just had breakfast, listened to the radio for a while, and waited for the time on the radio to say 'eight o'clock', and was ready to go out with a few boxes of presents.

Mother Zhou glanced at the time, "Is it a bit early?"

"It's getting late, it takes more than an hour to ride there, and it's almost 09:30 to reach Bingkun's house."

Mother Zhou warned, "Ride slowly on the road."

Zhou Zhigang waved his hand, "Understood, I'm leaving."

When it was almost noon, Zhou's mother was busy with lunch, and suddenly there was some movement outside the door. She opened the door and looked outside, and found that her wife had returned. She asked strangely, "Are you coming back without a meal?"

"Eat ass!"

Zhou Zhigang rushed to his youngest son's house excitedly, and finally met his triplet grandsons.The three little guys are so aggressive, they are so cute.

But when he called for someone, the second child actually called him 'Grandpa'. At first he thought the child had called him wrong, but his in-laws told him that he was right.

How can this be, the youngest son is not married!At that time, he asked his youngest son to change his second child's name back to "Zhou", but the youngest son ignored him at all, and plausibly said, "My son is the master." '

"I am your father!"

"In 76, we severed the relationship between father and son! Even if all three children have the surname 'Fu', it has nothing to do with you!"

How could Zhou Zhigang bear this anger, he left his youngest son's house as soon as he shook his hand.

"Argued with Bingkun again?" Zhou's mother nagged, "Bingkun is such an adult, you can't talk well, it's the New Year's Eve."

Seeing his wife nagging endlessly, Zhou Zhigang became angrier, and suddenly thought that his wife had lived with his youngest son for the past two years, and she must know about Xiao Putao and his mother's surname.

Zhou Zhigang went into a rage for helping his youngest son hide such a big matter from him, and scolded his wife all over his head and face.

The noise from the kitchen immediately attracted Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong. They hurried forward to persuade them to fight, Zhou's mother was also annoyed, it was not her who caused this situation, but Zhou Zhigang, "If you didn't drive Bingkun out , Why did little Putao have the surname 'Fu'? Why are you shouting at me, if you have the ability, ask Bingkun to change the child's name back."

The few people who persuaded the fight were a little surprised, Zhou Bingyi looked at his father and said, "Dad, Xiao Xigua and their surname are not Zhou?"

Zhou Zhigang snorted, turned and went into the back room. Zhou's mother explained, "The eldest and third child's surname is Zhou, and the second child's surname is 'Fu'."

"Bingkun is not married, how can the child take the mother's surname?"

Zhou's mother said, "Lili's parents only have one child, Lili, and Bingkun made the decision to let the second child take Lili's surname."

Zhou Rong frowned and said, "Such a big matter, why not tell us? If it wasn't for Dad to do it."

Feng Huacheng gently pulled his daughter-in-law's hand. What the father-in-law said just now is very clear, and the mother-in-law is also an insider, so they should not get involved in this matter.
Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei looked at each other, "Bingyi! Bingyi!" Father Zhou's shout sounded from the back room. Zhou Bingyi walked into the room. Zhou Zhigang asked his eldest son to sit beside him, took his hand and said, "There are three ways to be unfilial. Boss, you and Dongmei are not young anymore, don't delay the child's affairs!"

Today the youngest son pissed him off, and before he left, he told him, "Don't go to his house to look after the children if you have the ability."

If he dared to threaten him with his grandson, he didn't only have one son.He swore at that time that he would never set foot in his youngest son's house again in his life.

Zhou Bingyi's claws are numb, and he can only push out the reason for fooling his mother, but Zhou's father is not Zhou's mother. He has traveled all over the world, and his vision is much broader. Nowadays, in universities, there are many people in their 30s with babies, and there are also those who are pregnant and go to school. Quite a few, everyone else can do it, but Hao Dongmei can't.

Just because of the father of a big man? ! !

Thinking about the age of the eldest son and his wife, Zhou Zhigang pointed to the door, "Lock the door."

When the eldest son sat down again, Zhou Zhigang stared at his son and said, "Is it because you don't want to have a baby or Dongmei doesn't want to have a baby?"

Zhou Bingyi still wanted to quibble, but under the pressure of Zhou's father's eyes, he could only say the reason he had thought of long ago. When he was working on the farm, he was accidentally injured and could not have a child.

Zhou's father felt a rumble in his head and felt dizzy. Seeing that his father was about to fall, Zhou Bingyi stretched out his hand to hold him up.

Zhou Zhigang looked at the eldest son in front of him. From childhood to adulthood, he was a child of someone else's family. He was admitted to the best university and married a wealthy and only daughter. Unexpectedly, he couldn't help feeling sad, and the father and son cried in each other's arms
At night, Zhou Bingyi and his wife bid farewell to their parents, pushed their bicycles out of the small courtyard, and after a hundred meters away from Zhou's old house, Hao Dongmei was the first to say, "Bingyi, since Bingkun can let Xiaoputao take her mother's surname, why don't you go with Bingkun?" Let's discuss with Kun to adopt a child under our name?"

Zhou Bingyi glanced at his daughter-in-law, "It's not appropriate for us to come forward in this matter, and adopting a child is such a big matter, I think it's better to listen to your parents' opinions first."

"Little Watermelon is your nephew. He has a tiger head and a tiger brain. He looks like a smart kid. My parents will definitely not have any objections."

"Your parents have never seen Little Watermelons, how do you know your parents will like them?"

Hao Dongmei glanced at Bingyi, "I like it, and my parents must like it too."
