Guo Wanhua took Li Yunhai by car to the foot of a mountain.

Li Yunhai thought to himself, Sister Guo is so elegant, why come to climb the mountain this late at night?
Guo Wanhua opened the trunk of the car, took out a package from it, handed it to Li Yunhai, and said softly: "Yunhai, hold it for me."

Li Yunhai took the package and held it heavily.

After a heavy rain last night, the evening breeze was blowing at the foot of the mountain and it was cool.

Li Yunhai carried the package and followed Guo Wanhua towards a dark path. Not far away, an ancient temple appeared in the shade of the woods ahead.

On the stone archway at the entrance are engraved three large regular script characters: "Sanyuan Palace."

There are four-character couplets on the left and right: "Sanyuan Ancient Temple, Hundreds of Famous Mountains in Guangdong."

Only then did Li Yunhai realize that Guo Wanhua had brought him to an ancient temple.

Guo Wanhua whispered: "This is a thousand-year-old temple. It was first built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is said that it was the place where Bao Gu, a female acupuncturist of the Jin Dynasty, used moxa to practice medicine."

Li Yunhai said softly: "What are we doing here?"

Guo Wanhua had a sad look on her face and said sadly: "Today is the anniversary of my mother's death. I couldn't go home, so I came here to express my condolences."

Li Yunhai nodded solemnly.

The two of them entered the temple.

The lights in the various temples in the temple were not very bright, and it was dim and miserable.

The monks in the main hall were doing evening classes, and from time to time there was the sound of a bell. The low sound of chanting sutras was like the sound of Sanskrit from the heavens, and it was refreshing to listen to it.

After Guo Wanhua came in, an old Taoist nun who was more than 60 years old came forward.

It turned out that the two had known each other for a long time. The old Taoist nun invited Guo Wanhua to come to the statue and guided her to kneel down and salute.

Afterwards, Guo Wanhua donated an ever-burning lamp. She took the package from Li Yunhai and handed it to the old Taoist nun.

The old Taoist nun opened the package and found two bundles of money neatly inside.

Li Yunhai knew that a bundle cost 2 yuan, and here was [-] yuan in sesame oil money.

After various tedious rituals, the monks will recite the Sutra to Save People ten times, which takes three hours.

However, Guo Wanhua did not wait for them to finish reciting, saluting, and donating money before leaving with Li Yunhai.

It wasn't until he left the gate that Li Yunhai let out a long breath.

I don't know why, but this kind of place always gives off a particularly depressing and respectful feeling, which makes people afraid to be arrogant.

Guo Wanhua said thank you for coming to accompany me.

In the dim light and shadow, Li Yunhai saw tears in the corners of Guo Wanhua's eyes and said a few words to comfort her.

Guo Wanhua smiled slightly and said, "Shall we take a walk?"

Li Yunhai said yes.

The two walked along Yuexiu Mountain where there were street lights.

It was extremely cold at the foot of the mountain.

Guo Wanhua brought a shawl, but it was thin and her arms were exposed, so it was still a little cold.

Li Yunhai took off his coat and put it on her body.

Guo Wanhua turned around and looked at him tenderly.

"Do you know what Meilin asked me just now?"

"Huh? Ask for my name?"

"She asked me if you were my new boyfriend from the mainland."

Only then did Li Yunhai understand why Guo Wanhua looked at him so strangely before. He laughed and said, "Huh? How could she ask such a strange question? Are all the little girls in Xiangjiang so open-minded?"

There were no pedestrians on the path. Guo Wanhua walked slowly with her hands on her chest and said quietly: "Because she knows that I am not living a happy life. She even told me several times that she should leave the old man and find another man. She said that my life would not be too bad if I could just find a man, it would be better than staying with a dying old man."

Li Yunhai thought to himself, this is really the talk of a tiger and a wolf. If Chen Wanzhao heard it, would he beat his daughter half to death?
Guo Wanhua lowered her head and said with sadness: "I have also thought about divorce. Didn't my exes all leave because they couldn't stand them? But I also thought that Mei Lin was still young and had a complete life. A family where she can enjoy the care of her father is better than a single-parent family. I miss the warmth of family because I have been away from my family since I was a child."

Li Yunhai pondered for a moment and said: "Everyone's family is different, and the feelings they bring to their children are also different. It can be seen from Chen Wanzhao's attitude towards his ex-wives that he is a man who has no connection with children. Children The reason why we are coming back to get close to him now is just to share his property."

Guo Wanhua raised her head, looked at the confused road ahead, and said: "It doesn't matter whether I get divorced or not. The old man won't live long anyway. Do you know how long it has been since I had that, well, love with him?" ?"

This question is too embarrassing and too private.

Li Yunhai did not answer.

Guo Wanhua didn't say anything either.

Maybe she couldn't remember it clearly herself?
If a man is physically or mentally ill, he will naturally become indifferent to love.

The atmosphere suddenly became strange.

Neither of them spoke, but they seemed to have said a thousand words.

They walked until ten o'clock in the evening and then they came back.

When she arrived at Guo Wanhua's residence, she asked Li Yunhai again: "Do you think that house is okay? That house is very large. It is a real luxury villa. It is larger than the place where I live now."

Li Yunhai asked her how much she paid for this house.

Guo Wanhua said that her set was very cheap, costing only 85.

When Li Yunhai heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "Why are yours so cheap?"

Guo Wanhua pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "Because I got a bargain. That person is a friend I met in business. Their family is also in a hurry to go abroad. All the procedures have been completed. The only problem is that no one has taken over the house. I said it was cheaper, so I bought it. He wanted to sell it for 170 million at that time, saying that it was a three-story western-style building. How many gold bars did my ancestors spend to build it? The price of imported ones is different from that of ordinary bungalows. I said you could cut it in half, so I bought it. I was just joking, but who knew he actually sold it to me."

Li Yunhai said: "Sister Guo, you also help me pay back the price. You also pay half of the price of the villa, so I bought it. They are in a hurry to go abroad anyway!"

The two smiled at each other.

Li Yunhai said good night to her and returned to the Garden Hotel.

Shen Xiulan had already gone back, and Lin Zhi was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding an English book and still reading.

Li Yunhai sat down next to her and asked, "Why are you working so hard? You can't become a fat man with knowledge!"

Lin Zhi put down the book in her hand, leaned over to hold his arm, and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do anyway! Xiulan has worked so hard, I can't lag behind her, right?"

She raised her nose and smelled Li Yunhai: "It smells so good! Where did you get the fragrance?"

Li Yunhai sniffed around and said, "Does it smell good?"

He was about to make a casual excuse when he suddenly thought that Lin Zhi could tell if he was lying, so he honestly told Guo Wanhua about lending him clothes.

Lin Zhi smiled in relief and said, "Yes, this is the scent of Sister Guo!"

Li Yunhai secretly thought it was a fluke. Fortunately, he didn't lie.

The two bathed and slept together, showing a sweet love.

We arrived at the Canton Fair venue the next day.

In the morning, Li Yunhai took the computer typewriter trial contract signed earlier and went to each booth to recycle the machines.

"Comrade, do you feel comfortable using your computer typewriter?" Li Yunhai came to the booth opposite first.

"It's very easy to use. It's really convenient." The other party was typing up some materials.

Li Yunhai handed over his family's trial contract: "The three-day trial period is up, and I'm here to recycle the machine."

"Ah?" The other party suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Yunhai, "Is it only three days?"

"Yes, it's been three whole days. You can check the date on the contract yourself."

"I still want to continue using it!"

"You can continue to use it and buy one! It costs 3000 US dollars, or 1 yuan."

"Huh? It's too expensive."

"I'm sorry, I took it away!"

"Hey, wait! I finished typing this article - hey, why is the battery out?"

"Because I unplugged it! It's three days as promised. If you want to continue using it, just buy it."

"Just buy it! Plug it in for me!" The other party turned out to be very temperamental, "Who are you looking down on? Isn't it just 1 yuan? Can a state-owned enterprise as big as ours still not afford it?" Li Yunhai gave a thumbs up: "Okay, that's cool! I've plugged it in for you. Please pay the bill."

He took the invoice with him and waited for others to buy his product.

The other party actually bought it with money and asked how to repair the typewriter if it broke.

Li Yunhai said: "This is easy. If something goes wrong, just send the machine back to us. If it breaks within three months, we will not repair it, but replace it! If it breaks after three months, we will only charge for parts. From now on we We will also set up maintenance outlets in major provincial capital cities across the country. If you have any problems, just call our service number and we will tell you where to go for repairs."

"Okay, that's fine! Don't be like that guy who sells cassette players. The ads are loud, but the prices are expensive and the quality is poor. My family bought one and had it repaired twice in half a year."

"Don't worry, our typewriter has been used for ten or eight years, so there probably won't be any problems."

"Hey, are you so confident?"

"It's necessary! We are cooperating with the Shanghai Typewriter Factory to produce it!"

"Well, hopefully durable."

Li Yunhai collected the money, issued the ticket, and went to other booths.

Not surprisingly, anyone who has experienced a computer typewriter at the booth will usually buy it.

Because having a computer typewriter has become so much more convenient!
But there are also individual booths that Li Yunhai can take away without saying whether to buy them or not.

When he meets such people, Li Yunhai will leave his business card and tell them where our booth is. If you want to buy, come to us.

At the end of the day, Li Yunhai sold more than 300 typewriters.

What a surprise!
In the next two days, he expected to sell more typewriters.

The business at the booth is still average and there is not much improvement. Every day, people come in to inquire and leave after asking. Occasionally someone will buy a few typewriters.

When the day's revenue was calculated in the afternoon, Lin Zhi had to admire Li Yunhai, this was so amazing!This payment is for truckloads of goods to be towed back!
He transferred all the cash he collected to Shi Wentao's company and deposited it in the bank tomorrow.

Shi Wentao asked him where he got so much cash?

Li Yunhai talked about his sales method.

Shi Wentao was amazed and asked, "Do you need help?"My sister and I can both go and help you.

Li Yunhai said of course, I will be very busy tomorrow and it would be best for you to help me.

After finishing his work, Li Yunhai suddenly thought of something, said goodbye and left, heading to Guo Wanhua's house.

It was already seven o'clock when he arrived.

When the servant saw him coming, he smiled and said, "Mr. Li, Miss Chen has been asking you!"

Li Yunhai smiled and nodded.

When Chen Meilin saw him, she curled her lips and said, "Didn't you say you were coming to pick me up today? Why are you here so late?"

Guo Wanhua smiled and said: "Meilin, what are you talking about? Call me uncle! Uncle Li is very busy. He is here to participate in the Canton Fair. Do you think everyone has nothing to do like you?"

Chen Meilin laughed: "How much older is he than me? Should I call him uncle?"

Li Yunhai smiled and shook his head and asked, "Sister Guo, have you had dinner?"

Guo Wanhua said she hasn’t eaten yet!Meilin said you will come, we have been waiting for you.

As she spoke, she ordered the servants to serve the meal.

Chen Meilin's dress has a strong Hong Kong and Taiwanese style. She is not only beautiful, but also stylish.

She is a lively and lovely girl who speaks nicely and doesn't appear to be scheming.

Li Yunhai had dinner at Guo's house and asked Guo Wanhua about the villa.

When Guo Wanhua mentioned the villa, she covered her stomach and said with a smile: "It's funny to say this. Didn't you ask me to bargain? I actually paid back the price. I told them that the house price is so cheap now, what about other places?" The house price is only 450 yuan per square meter. Your house is a bungalow, and the cost is indeed more expensive. If you calculate that it costs you 800 yuan per square meter, your total area is 1200 square meters, and the total price is only 96 yuan. . Coupled with a full set of imported appliances and furniture. If the price is fully calculated, I will give you almost 120 million. I will also use my house as an example to them."

Li Yunhai doesn't care about the process, he only cares about the result: "Sister Guo, how much did you talk about in the end?"

Guo Wanhua stretched out her right palm, repeated it three times, and smiled slightly proudly: "150 million. Do you think it will work? They are also eager to sell, so they sold it at this price."

Li Yunhai thought to himself that the bungalows here were indeed a bit expensive, but if the counter-offer was too low, others might not sell them.He said that 150 million would be fine, and I would bring the money to buy it tomorrow.

Guo Wanhua said that they should be notified.

Li Yunhai said yes.

Chen Meilin heard him finish talking and shouted: "Mommy, let's go out and play?"

Guo Wanhua said there was no place to play at night.

Chen Meilin said watching movies, singing, whatever.

Guo Wanhua said let's watch a movie and invited Li Yunhai to go with her.

Chen Meilin stood in front of Li Yunhai and said with a smile: "You must play with me! I know your name. Your name is Li Yunhai, right? If you call me Mommy, Sister Guo, then I can't call you Brother, otherwise the seniority will be confused. Calling you uncle makes you old, so I will call you by your name, okay?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said that you are very sensible, you can shout whatever you want.

Chen Meilin turned to her mother and said, "Mommy, Li Yunhai agreed to go to the movies with us."

Guo Wanhua said to Li Yunhai, "If something happens to you, just go back first. It'll be fine."

Li Yunhai said I was fine.

The karaoke bars and dance halls in Huacheng opened earlier and more than those in the mainland, but the nightlife in this era was still mainly about watching movies.

Firstly, dance halls are expensive, and secondly not everyone likes that kind of social occasion.

Although Guo Wanhua is from Xiangjiang, she is rarely seen going to dance halls to relieve herself.

In the 80s, the film industry in Huacheng was unprecedentedly prosperous. Located on Beijin Road in the city center, it was surrounded by eight cinemas and theaters including Yonghan, Xinxing, Xinhua, and Nanguan. The siege of the Eight Cinemas became a popular story.

Li Yunhai and the others came to the Xinxing Cinema on Zhongshan [-]th Road near Beijin Road.

When Chen Meilin saw the films listed for performance, she said loudly and disappointedly: "Why are they all movies like this? Summer Lucky Star, Dragon's Heart, Working Emperor, Happy Ghost's Summer Vacation, how come there are none of these recently released movies? ?”

Li Yunhai knew that the movies she was talking about were all recently released in Hong Kong. Even if they were to be introduced in China, they would not be introduced so quickly.

Guo Wanhua patiently explained to her daughter.

Chen Meilin pouted and said, "Then what's so good about these movies? I don't know any of the male or female stars in them!"

Li Yunhai looked at the movie that was about to be screened and said, "The movie Yamaha Fish Stall is very good."

Chen Meilin seemed not to believe it: "How good is it? Are there any good movies in Hong Kong?"

Seeing how proud she was, Li Yunhai said: "Meilin, let me tell you this, the highest box office of a movie in Xiangjiang is only about 3000 million, but this movie has a box office of 8000 million!"

Chen Meilin screamed: "You are not lying, are you? Is this movie so good? It still has a box office of 8000 million!"

Li Yunhai had to give her a lesson on mainland movies, saying: "The ticket price for movies in our mainland is only 8000 cents a piece, and this movie can sell for 1.6 million yuan at the box office! Do you think how popular it will be? And Ah, we have a movie called Shaolin Temple in the Mainland. Do you know how much the box office was? [-] million! That was a movie a few years ago. At that time, movie tickets only cost ten cents! Do the math, how much is it? Has anyone seen that movie?”

Chen Meilin opened her mouth in surprise, her pretty face full of exclamation, and finally said: "Okay, let's take a look. Is it as beautiful as you said?"

Guo Wanhua watched from the side as Li Yunhai stunned her daughter into speechless retort, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

This daughter has always been spoiled and won't be convinced by anyone. Even her biological father, she dared to talk back directly.In the past, if Chen Wanzhao treated Guo Wanhua badly, Chen Meilin even helped her mother and father fight!

Unexpectedly, Chen Meilin lost her temper immediately when she met Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai immediately went to the ticket window and bought three movie tickets.

The movie will be released soon.

"Isn't there any popcorn to eat?" Chen Meilin looked around and acted like a monster again.

Li Yunhai said no, only roasted sweet potatoes, do you want them?
Chen Meilin pursed her lips and shook her head repeatedly, saying no, no.You will fart after eating sweet potatoes!It stinks!
Li Yunhai smiled dumbly and went to buy some snacks and Coke nearby. Then he took Guo Wanhua and Chen Meilin into the cinema and found a seat to sit down.

Guo Wanhua sat next to Li Yunhai and whispered: "I'm causing trouble for you. Meilin is so naughty! I usually don't have time to discipline her."

Li Yunhai said without hesitation: "I think she is very sensible, and she has her own independent thoughts and knows her own preferences, instead of following what others say, which is good."

It was very dark in the cinema, and the two people were very close to each other when they were talking, almost head to head.

The breath exhaled by Guo Wanhua had a fresh fragrance like orchids.

Li Yunhai looked at her bright eyes and smelled her breath. His throat tightened and his heart suddenly felt paralyzed.

　Third, ask for a monthly ticket.
