Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 451 450. Focus!
Xiang Jin and his brother and sister left Aunt Liao's house after three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon when they returned to their home in the urban area.

Seeing the brothers and sisters bring back a basket of chicken and duck eggs, her mother couldn't help asking in surprise, "Oh, your grandparents took these again?"

Xiang Jin said, "No, Aunt Liao packed it for us, and there are preserved eggs under it. Mom, you can put it in the refrigerator first, don't put it in bad weather."

"Oh, good!" Her mother immediately took the basket of chicken and duck eggs to the kitchen to put them.

She asked them as she let it go, "Are your aunt Liao and your grandparents all right?"

Xiang Jin said, "Well, it's all good. At noon, I ate at my uncle and aunt's place. Grandpa also came to town. After one o'clock, we left uncle and them and drove to Aunt Liao. there.

Oh, by the way, Aunt Liao bought the house in Grandpa Zeng's hometown, and the house in Grandpa Zeng's town was bought by my second uncle's family. "

"Really? That's really kind, they are all acquaintances!" Her mother said.

"Yes! Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo don't have to worry about the house being ruined."

"Then is it hot in their hometown?" Her mother followed suit and asked again.

Xiang Jin said, "It's hot, it's quite hot, but it's backed by mountains and there are many shade trees, so the front room is a bit hot at noon, but the back room is still quite cool, unlike the city. It's so stuffy inside and out, I can't stand it without turning on the air conditioner, and Aunt Liao's house is also equipped with air conditioner."

"Oh, that's good! Did you do things well today?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "It's going well, it's going well. I heard from my aunt that last night my grandmother followed Xiang Lan's mother back to Xiangjiawan to pick up the household registration book herself, and then brought it to town the next day."

Her mother frowned when she heard this, "Then your adoptive mother didn't make things difficult for you?"

Xiang Jin said, "No, don't worry!"

Ouyang Bo said, "The two of them didn't talk after they met. Her adoptive mother always had a cold face when she saw us. did not come."

Her mother's hands that put the chicken and duck eggs paused, and then her beautiful brows frowned even deeper.

Xiang Jin gave Ouyang Bo a squinting look, "Why are you talking about that?"

Ouyang Bo said, "What I've said is the truth, and I haven't added any embellishments."

Xiang Jin said, "Nonsense! My household registration has been moved away, and I will have nothing to do with her in the future. What's the point of saying that?"

Ouyang Bo said, "It's meaningless, but what I said is true!"

Xiang Jin stretched out a hand to stop, "Well, well, fact, fact!" She didn't want to argue with him on this issue.

Her mother laughed again, and then continued to ask, "How is their business now? And how are your two cousins ​​doing in the exam?"

Xiang Jin said, "I don't know, I haven't paid much attention to their business today, and I haven't asked about it, so it should be okay.

Yang Hui seems to have failed the exam again this year. Yang Zhao is three points short of the cut-off score for No. [-] Middle School, and [-] points for Maode Middle School. It is estimated that he will have to pay a higher price at that time. "

"Oh, so? Then what will happen to your cousin? Will you continue to read?"

Xiang Jin shook his head, "I don't know, I didn't ask, and it's not easy to ask, and my uncles and aunts didn't say anything.

But I think his expression today seems to be a lot more relaxed than before, not so gloomy. I guess he won't repeat it.

Maybe he will do something at that time. My uncle and aunts had a plan before, saying that he would go to the county town to open a shop at that time. "

Her mother nodded, "It's good to do something, 360 lines, and it's not only the way of studying that can make people stand out."

Xiang Jin said, "Isn't it? Our universities have merged this year. In the past, as long as you passed the university entrance examination and graduated, you could be assigned to a job at the end of the job, but now that you have broken the job, no matter how much you do. Awesome school and academic qualifications, after graduation, you have to find a job on your own.

So some people may not have much talent in reading and drawing, but they are very good at other fields, maybe they will do well in another field.

Although some people are very good at reading, they may not be good at other aspects, right? "

"Well, that's right!" Ouyang Bo agreed with Xiang Jin's statement. He felt that he was the kind of person who didn't have much success in studying, but he was a bit self-confessed when it came to making money in business. Small talent.

After their mother put the eggs in the refrigerator, she came out and said to Xiang Jin, "Then you have to carefully put away your admission letter and related account information?"

"Well, I know!" Xiang Jin got up and went back to the house to put things away.

Then her mother asked them what they want to eat tonight?

Ouyang Bo said, "It depends on what Xiaojin wants to eat, I don't care!"

Xiang Jin waved with his back to them, "I'm not very hungry, you can do whatever you want!"

Her mother said, "One or two, that's fine, then I'll make some porridge, and I'll cook two random dishes later!"

Ouyang Bo said, "I have no objection!"

Xiang Jin turned his back to them and made an "OK" gesture.

After Xiang Jin put away his things, he suddenly remembered that there were still a few red envelopes that had not been opened, so he took them out and opened them.

While she was tearing down the second one, her father came back from get off work and saw the red envelopes in front of her, so he joked, "Go and change your hukou and get rich."

Xiang Jin explained to him, "My grandparents, uncle, and Aunt Liao brought it for me. They said it was a little wish from them, but they refused, so I had to keep it."

Her father nodded, and then asked, "How did your cousin do in the exam? Did you have a treat at home? If you have, we have to make up a gift!"

Xiang Jin said, "I didn't pass the exam."

Her father was stunned for a moment, then asked about Yang Zhao again, and Xiang Jin said, "Yang Zhao is three points away from high school."

"Oh, that's a pity," her father suddenly said.

Xiang Jin nodded slightly, and then handed the stack of money to Ouyang Bo, "Go out and save it for me tomorrow."

Ouyang Bo took her stack of money and asked, "How much?"

Xiang Jin said, "Seven thousand."

"So much?" Ouyang Bo was surprised.

"Well," Xiang Jin nodded, "My grandparents gave me two thousand, my two uncles gave me two thousand, and Aunt Liao gave me one thousand."

Xiang Jin's mother came out and said, "Then you have to write it down in a small notebook. When the time comes, what happens to each of their families, we can return the gift according to the records on it."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Don't worry, the little book in my bedside table is dedicated to recording these things. When I go to study, I will pass the little book to you."

Ouyang Bo asked, "Or should I deposit this money into your pocket money card?"

"Ah, everything below 2 yuan will be deposited into my card for living expenses. Isn't this always the case?"

Ouyang Bo said, "It's so stupid, everything below 2 yuan is counted as living expenses, and my 2 yuan is considered a huge sum of money."

Xiang Jin gouged him out speechlessly, "Here we go again!"

Ouyang Bo sighed, "The country is strong and the people are prosperous, we should work hard!"

Xiang Jin said, "You will change?!"

Ouyang Bo laughed and said, "The times are different, so of course we have to change the famous sentence!"

Her mother just laughed, and then his father asked, "How is your uncle's house being repaired?"

Xiang Jin said, "It seems that it hasn't been repaired yet. They started to prepare the materials after the Chinese New Year, and the homestead they bought was originally a field, so it took a lot of time to sort out the foundation. When the foundation is basically finished.

It is said that in order to make the foundation firm, it will have to be put on for a period of time, so that the foundation stone and the soil on it will settle down again. According to my grandparents, it seems that it will be put on for another year or a half. "

Her father nodded, and her mother said, "Oh, that foundation cost a lot of money, right?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "It seems to be true. It is said that I bought a lot of mud and stones, and the craftsmen used them for a long time. It is a rotten mud field, which is filled with mud.

My uncle said that if we were to build a house in our hometown, we might only need to lay one layer of stones, and in some low-lying places, two layers at most could be used to tamp the foundation, but there, they built four layers of stones.

After the first floor was built, it was completely sunk in the mud, and then the second floor was built, and the second floor sank in half, and then the third floor was built. They were afraid that the house would be wet when it was repaired, so they piled it again up the fourth floor.

Finally, the soil was filled inside, and then the soil was filled, and people beat and compacted it repeatedly every day, so it took a lot of manpower and money.

Then my second uncle saw that my uncle and the others had spent so much on the foundation for the construction of such a house, and then they retreated a little bit, and happened to hear that Grandpa Zeng and the others were going to sell the house in the town , So my second uncle and second aunt ran to see the house without saying a word, and finally felt very satisfied, so they bought it decisively. "

Xiang Jin's mother asked, "Then your second uncle and the others plan to build that house on the street?"

Xiang Jin said, "For the time being, it's too late. I heard from my second uncle and second aunt that they want to put that piece of homestead for a few years or ten years. When the economy improves, they will put that piece of homestead on the ground." The base is resold.

They said that if they want to build a house at that time, they can wait until the house of Grandpa Zeng’s family is too old to live in, and then push it to rebuild on the original basis, and then they can build a few more floors , At that time, their current shop can also be pushed to rebuild. "

Xiang Jin's father said, "Your second uncle is very smart?"

Xiang Jin said, "That's because the two children of my second uncle's family are still young, so there is no need to rush to build a house, but the situation of my uncle's family is different. Yang Hui and Yang Zhao are both that old, and Yang Hui It is estimated that I will not continue to read.

Last year, my eldest aunt said that if Yang Hui failed the exam this year, they planned to open a shop for him in the county town, let him save money for two years, and said they would marry him.

But tell him about his daughter-in-law, it doesn't matter if the family doesn't have a decent house. The house in my hometown is old, and it's a bit narrow. There is a front house in the town, but it's also paid for by the second uncle and the others. I bought it, and it is still in business, so it is inconvenient, so I have to buy and repair it separately.

But the town is only that big, and the bottom floor is basically rented out or used for business. If you want to buy it, you can only buy houses above the second floor.

My uncle and aunt thought it was not cost-effective, and it was better to have a storefront to live on the street, so that even if we don’t grow crops in our hometown in the future, we can still run a small business with a storefront To maintain the life of the family, that's why they bought the homestead, and that's why they were so eager to build the house. "

Her parents nodded, "This is true!"

Ouyang Bo groped his chin and said, "Then it seems that I should buy two more sets of facades then?"

Xiang Jin encouraged him, "Then why don't you go to Shanghai with me this time, and we'll buy two sets of facades and houses there? Anyway, you won't be returning to school until September [-]th. I went to Shanghai for a stroll, so the so-called knowledgeable people?"

Ouyang Bo and their parents were very surprised, Ouyang Bo was very excited and excited, and kept nodding, "Yes, yes!"

Her mother said, "Do you still have money? In the provincial capital, you can buy a house and shop for a long time."

Xiang Jin said with a smile, "Isn't it running out, and besides, don't I get money every day?"

Ouyang Bo just kept nodding his head, "Yeah, Xiaojin has seven or eight hot pot restaurants in the provincial capital, more than a dozen or twenty braised meat and vegetable shops, and a vegetable field in a greenhouse. There is also an article about Melon Orchard, her daily income is tens of thousands, rich!"

Xiang Jin said, "Stop it, it's not my property alone, it's the shares of several people."

Ouyang Bo nodded and said, "I know, I know, I didn't say it was yours alone, what I mean is that you get money every day, if you don't get money today, you will have money tomorrow, and you can invest again after a while bought a house."

Xiang Jin said, "That's about the same!"

Xiang Jin's parents laughed again, and her mother stretched out a finger and poked her on the forehead, "Why, you have money, are you afraid that your parents will find out and swallow up your money?

Don't worry, parents are not like that kind of people. Your father's most taboo is having too much money. Your mother and I face so much money in the bank every day. Whether it's bank deposit data or cash, it's already Numb, even if you have an asset of [-] million yuan, there will be no waves in your mother's heart. "

Xiang Jin lowered his eyes and said, "I know, I know, Dad is taking care of his feathers, for fear that he has a lot of money and people will suspect him of being corrupt.

Originally, I wanted to collect more bonuses this time, just because he said, "It is appropriate to encourage students who have achieved good results in the college entrance examination, but it should not be too much, just a little bit of meaning."

Therefore, the school and governments at all levels greatly discounted my rewards. When they awarded me the rewards, they told me bluntly, saying that this was the intention of Secretary Ouyang of the Municipal Party Committee, and they could not violate the rules. "

Her father just laughed, "Is this blaming me for preventing you from making a fortune?"

Xiang Jin said, "No!"

Her father sat down on the sofa with his trouser legs in hand, "Why don't you say no? Improving the quality of teaching and carrying forward the teaching philosophy is what the local government should do, and it is also understandable.

It is also appropriate for schools, teachers, and individuals to give certain rewards to those schools that have achieved good results in the college entrance examination and high school entrance examination.

However, the government’s financial revenue and expenditure are taken from the common people. It is their hard-earned money and tax money. If one person does well in the exam, he will be rewarded with a large sum of money. How much money will be rewarded for the few or dozens of people who do well in the exam? go out?
If a place wants to develop, it cannot do without the economy. For example, this year we built roads in the whole city, newly built water conservancy projects, and only selected a few districts and counties to develop greenhouse planting and other cash crops on a pilot basis, and The government has already invested a lot of money in some animal husbandry.

We have to spend every penny of the people's money recklessly, and we have no right to spend it recklessly. You are my daughter. Although your surname is Xiang, not Ouyang, you are really me. His own daughter, everyone who should know knows it, so naturally it has a good start.

Otherwise, those people will still say that I am using power for personal gain and deliberately conniving at the people below to give you large bonuses in order to embezzle state property. Such framing is not good for you or me, so I naturally have to remind them turn.

Besides, at your level, the tens of thousands of dollars in government and school rewards you have received is already pretty good. Didn’t I stop those companies from rewarding you?You still add up to 30 to [-].

Besides, you already have so many properties, you are not short of money, and you are also a person who always pursues low-key behavior, do you still care about such a small bonus? "

Xiang Jin said, "Oh, I know, I know, I didn't say anything, and I didn't mean to express my dissatisfaction with you. I understand everything. Besides, you don't care about the rewards that other companies give me, do you?
Don't they just want to take advantage of the opportunity of awarding me the No. 1 bonus in this city to gain a wave of enthusiasm, so as to expand the popularity and influence of their own company?

So I took this money very comfortably, without any reluctance, after all, I also provided convenience for them, didn't I?They're relying on me for free advertising.

I mean, you are a person who loves your feathers too much, and combs your feathers clean at all times, for fear that a little dust will fall on them. "

Her father laughed and said, "In life, we don't want to be rich and powerful, but we want to have peace of mind, a clear conscience, and a good reputation! If the reputation is rotten, then this person is basically doomed! So you two too, No matter what stage you are at, you must not lose your strength of character and character!"

Both brothers and sisters said "know!"

Then Xiang Jin also said, "Then you and my mother must always remember, to be an upright official, don't want me and my brother to develop, but suddenly being questioned about our two property problems, Then seal us up, we will be wronged!"

Ouyang Bo also nodded vigorously, "Well, that's right!"

Their parents couldn't laugh or cry, and their father said, "Don't worry, we save you more than you in these aspects! Your mother and I don't have much pursuit of money, as long as we have enough."

Ouyang Bo joked, "You just have an official addiction!"

Their father laughed out loud twice, then pointed at his forehead and cursed, "Stinky boy! There must be some pursuit in life, right?"

Ouyang Bo nodded vigorously, "I know, I know, then you should be your official and strive to be famous in history like that Bao Qingtian!"

Their father said, "I don't dare to ask for extravagant fame, but I just want to be innocent and not be scolded by others! Oh, by the way, you have to pack up the things you should pack up, and the things you should bring. It's not inconvenient to go there and want something right away," he said, looking at Xiang Jin's mother, "If you're free, help her clean up."

Xiang Jin's mother nodded, "I know, don't worry!"

Xiang Jin also said that she was already cleaning up.

Then Ouyang Bo said, "Then this time, apart from me, will it be Grandpa who will send her there?"

Xiang Jin's parents looked at each other and smiled, and then their mother said, "Originally, I planned to go with your father to see her off, but since you are going, my mother will not go, and let you two send the little one off." Jin goes, I happen to be busy recently, and the bank is busy every year around the school season."

Xiang Jin and Ouyang Bo were taken aback for a moment, and Ouyang Bo immediately became excited, "Dad, are you free?"

Their mother laughed and said, "Your dad has been working overtime every day recently, and he doesn't even have time to rest on weekends. He immediately arranged those important things that should be arranged, and inspected those places that should be inspected as soon as possible. Isn't it just to squeeze Do you have time to send Xiao Jin to school?"

Xiang Jin said, "Actually, I don't need what you sent, I can go by myself, and I have Ouyang Bo with me."

Her mother said, "How can that be done? You are a girl and you have never traveled far. How can we rest assured? Send it, you have to send it!"

Xiang Jin asked back, "Then if it's a holiday, you still have to go to Shanghai to pick me up?"

Her mother said, "At that time, we don't have to worry, don't you have two classmates and friends over there? Then you can make an appointment and come back together.

But this time, you are not on the same road, then Han Che will not start school until September [-]nd, and your classmate named Lei Jia will not start school until September [-]th, so we adults must send you there! "

Xiang Jin also understood their psychology, so he said, "Okay!"

Then Xiang Jin's father turned to Ouyang Bo and said, "Let your mother give you some money later. You can buy the train tickets in the next two days. Try to buy sleeper berths instead of hard seats."

Ouyang Bo responded, "Oh, good! Then should we buy the 25th or the 26th?"

Xiang Jin's father thought for a while and said, "Look, if there is a slightly faster car, buy a No. 26 car. If there is a slow car with more parking places on the road, buy a No. 25 car."

"okay!"

"Xiao Chen is here?" The next day, Yan Chen went to the restaurant to look for Han Che, and Han Che's second uncle greeted him when he saw him.

Yan Chen nodded slightly, "Well, is Han Che there?"

"Yes, it's in my office, go in and find him."

"En!" Yan Chen nodded slightly again, and then went in directly.

Han Che was very happy to see Yan Chen, "Why are you here?"

"Come to say goodbye to you!"

"Isn't that right, you're leaving soon?" Han Che felt that it was a little sudden, and he suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.

Yan Chen said, "No, I'm leaving on the 25th, and I'll take the plane directly, so I'll tell you in advance, and I won't come to you when the time comes."

Han Che breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, I thought you were going to leave right away? I was a little caught off guard! To be honest, I'm not used to it, even when you were studying with your grandparents. I haven't felt this way for several years, but this time I just feel very reluctant, and there is always a feeling that we will not see each other often in the future."

The corners of Yan Chen's mouth curled up, and he didn't answer.

Han Che asked, "Before you leave, you should call Xiang Jin, she may be leaving on the 25th, otherwise you may not be able to contact her for a long time, you have liked her for so many years , are you really planning to let go like this? Are you willing? If it were me, I would definitely not be willing!"

Yan Chen tilted his head and asked him back, "Who said I let go? Do you think I let go so easily?"

Han Che shook his head.

Yan Chen followed curiously, "But is it that obvious?"

Han Che rolled his eyes at him angrily, "I'm not stupid, and I'm not blind. Don't think that I can't see your small thoughts because I'm careless every day? It's just that I pretended not to know! And I The second uncle also saw it!"

Yan Chen was startled, and then laughed, "Yes, even Uncle Tao and my aunt could see it, no matter how nervous you are, you should have seen it, but you can see it, Xiang Jin is so smart Why can't He Sensitive see it? Is it because she doesn't like me, that's why she wants to avoid me because of this opportunity of the college entrance examination?"

Han Che gave him another blank look without saying a word, "Oh, I never thought that our Mr. Yan would be so unconfident!"

Yan Chen gave him a gouged look, "Don't speak sarcastic words in front of me, you might be the same as me in the future!"

Han Che nodded frequently, "Yes, yes, I didn't laugh at you, I didn't laugh at you! Aren't I emotional? I feel that you are really a fan of the authorities. I still think it is possible for you to say that Xiang Jin avoids you, but if you Saying that Xiang Jin doesn't like you, I think you are wrong."

Yan Chen was startled, his eyes flashed, he stared at him and asked, "What do you mean?"

Han Che said, "Don't you feel that Xiang Jin treats you differently from other people? Every time she has something delicious and fun, the first thing she thinks of is you, and if there is any good project, she thinks of it first." you."

Yan Chen heard what he said, although his heart was very hot at first, but gradually his heart returned to calm.

"Maybe she just sees me as a more trustworthy and social friend than anyone else."

Otherwise, he really couldn't explain why they had agreed to take the Qingbei exam together, but she changed her mind in the end.

Han Che suddenly remembered what he had heard in the countryside about Xiang Jin's childhood, so he couldn't help but feel that what Yan Chen said was somewhat reasonable.

Xiang Jin had a very bad life when she was a child. Basically, she grew up in an environment that lacked love, so she was very vigilant and defensive towards people.

Perhaps Yan Chen was the first person she trusted with sincerity, so it is understandable that she is special to Yan Chen.

Suddenly he thought of something, so he asked tentatively, "Yan Chen, have you brought Xiang Jin to meet your father?"

Who is Yan Chen, and immediately heard the implication in his words, he suddenly raised his head, and then stared at him with piercing eyes, "What do you mean?"

From his expression, Han Che also confirmed his guess, so he said, "It seems that there are no more!"

Yan Chen waited a little impatiently, and wrinkled up if he didn't, "Get to the point!"

Han Che said, "Do you still remember the last time my second uncle and I ran into you and Xiang Jin at the western restaurant in the city?"

"Well, remember!" Yan Chen nodded.

Han Che continued, "Before you came back, your father, Zheng Wanyi, and her niece Yu Sisi were sitting with Xiang Jin.

We don't know if they said anything between them, but when we went in to greet Xiang Jin, they behaved very abnormally.

As soon as they saw us coming, they seemed to leave immediately, and indeed they left in a hurry, and they didn't even bother to say hello to us.

The second is that they didn't say goodbye to Xiang Jin when they left, and Xiang Jin didn't say goodbye to them either.

At that time, I thought something was wrong, but I couldn’t remember it. Later, I went to find you that day and you ignored me. Then when I came back, I met Uncle Tao in the store, so I went to ask him what’s the matter with you recently. , Why do you look sullen.

Uncle Tao told us that you were in a bad mood recently, and after we repeatedly questioned, Uncle Tao said that Xiang Jin had applied for Fudan and that you had agreed to take the Qingbei exam together.

Later, after Uncle Tao left, my second uncle told me in private that probably your father said something to Xiang Jin that day, so Xiang Jin went back to apply for Fudan University. It's a possibility, after all, your dad forced you to apply for a visa every day during that time!

But this is just our guess, right?It's not true, if you want to know the details, you should ask Xiang Jin and your father.

But I don't think Xiang Jin should say it. After all, she is so strong and proud, and I guess your father shouldn't say it either, because he still wants to ease the relationship with you. "

Yan Chen frowned even deeper, "Why did you tell me this now?"

Han Che said, "I didn't think so much at the time? I thought you two were having dinner with them, and you left soon afterwards, so I didn't have a chance to tell you. It's been a long time I gradually forgot.

It wasn't until Uncle Tao told us about you and Xiang Jin in the store that day that I remembered it after my second uncle reminded me, but you also know that my second uncle never likes to gossip behind people's backs, and I I have been hesitant to tell you about this matter, and I am afraid that it will affect the relationship between your father and son. "

Yan Chen looked at him with eyes full of sarcasm and said, "Does this matter still affect the relationship between me and him? So you would rather I continue to misunderstand Xiang Jin like this?" He stood up straight Get up and turn around and walk out!

Han Che was stunned by his question for a while, and then he reacted, and then shouted at his back, "You just left? Won't you stay for dinner?!"

Yan Chen didn't turn his head back and said, "Don't eat!"

Han Che stared at his back and whispered, "Am I offending him?"
