Chapter 27: Luo Zhongyong
As the New Year's Day is getting closer and closer, Xiao
Jianjun will come to the store every night. The goods of several factories have
been ordered. With Xiao Jianjun's efforts, the delivery time of each factory is
different.
This time there was a lot of goods, and Wang Licheng also
came to help, because the road was blocked due to snow, and the delivery time
was greatly prolonged. They took a whole week to deliver the goods, so Wang
Licheng took several days off and was criticized by the director.
He has not resigned and is waiting for the convening of the
14th National Congress next year. If he is laid off, there will be compensation
in the factory, but his mother will not agree to his own initiative to resign.
The day before New Year's Day, Wang Licheng gave Xiao
Hongyan 1% of what Xiao Hongyan had promised to her eldest Brother Xiao
Jianjun, and 1% of the 100,000 Yuan was 1,000 Yuan, and the purchase rebate was
given to the purchaser on the spot when they delivered the payment.
This time, the store made more than 8,000 Yuan, enough to
buy new TV sets and washing machines, and save the rest for the next year.
Xiao Jianjun was overjoyed with the 1,000 Yuan that Wang
Licheng gave him. He earned more than 800 Yuan, excluding the money for
treating guests to dinner, cigarettes and alcohol.
His salary is high in Pucheng, 150 Yuan a month. Helping my
brother-in-law to do business, it has only been half a month and he has earned
more than 800, which is almost half a year's salary.
He knew that his brother-in-law must earn more, but they
also invested a lot. So many goods came in as soon as they came in, and the
family just built two houses.
His brother-in-law is rich and capable, and his younger
sister has vision.
On New Year's Day, Wang Licheng and his mother Liu Fengzhen
discussed the matter of wine. He wanted to set a date for February 14, and Liu
Fengzhen turned the calendar. February 14 was the eleventh day of the first
lunar month. It was not suitable for marriage. Only the 13th would be better a
few days before and after. The mother and son settled on February 13th.
Afterwards, Wang Licheng and his mother went to Xiao
Hongyan's house to see the day off.
Liu Fengzhen brought 2,000 Yuan. Wang Licheng brought two
gold bracelets, a gold necklace, and a pair of gold earrings, which he promised
Xiao Daxing.
Xiao Daxing looked better when faced with Liu Fengzhen, and
the two families confirmed the date and the location of the wine restaurant.
The number of tables is still up for debate.
Xiao Daxing accepted the gold ornaments and money. Before,
he did promise not to give the dowry money. Later, after hearing from his
eldest son that Wang Licheng’s family was rich, he took the money. Xiao Daxing
plans to add another 3,000 Yuan on the day of the youngest daughter's marriage,
and put together 5,000 Yuan to press the bottom of the box for her.
All his savings were only 3,500 Yuan. The previous savings
were used to buy a house for his youngest son. This money was saved by him in
recent years as a dowry for his youngest daughter. The other seven, seven or
eight were ready in the first two years.
It cost more than 10,000 Yuan to build the house, all of
which Wang Licheng earned from opening the store this year. Liu Fengzhen didn't
move any money in her hand, and she didn't tell her son about the dowry money
in advance.
She is very satisfied with Xiao Hongyan's as a daughter-in-law.
She is willing to give more gifts. Besides, her son is making money now. 2,000 Yuan
is not a lot for their family.
It's just that the three daughters who built the house have
contributed a lot, and it would be good for the son to send something to his
sister's house.
After the date for the reception was set, Xiao Daxing
completely ignored Xiao Hongyan. Now it's getting colder and colder, Xiao
Hongyan will stay overnight if she doesn't want to go back. At night, Wang
Licheng just hugs her to sleep without touching her. The two cuddled and slept
warmly.
Wang Licheng didn't touch her, and Xiao Hongyan didn't take
the initiative to mention it, and the days lived peacefully.
Until Xiao Jianjun came to the store again, he contacted
several factories for Spring Festival gifts. The gift specification for the
Spring Festival is the highest among all festivals in the year. The value of
the gift list is as high as 300,000 Yuan, and there are some new things Wang
Licheng entered in Jiangcheng.
The gifts for the Spring Festival should be in place in
advance, and if it is too late, businesses will close their doors and go home
for the New Year. From the day Xiao Jianjun came over with the gift list, the
three of them started busy again. Even Xiao Hongyan's birthday was spent busy.
Xiao Hongyan's birthday is January 20th. On Sunday, the 19th
day, Wang Licheng went to Jiangcheng to place an order. By the way, he bought
Xiao Hongyan a padded jacket and a birthday cake.
She just had her period, and the two of them indulged once
that night.
The wedding banquet was ordered by Liu Fengzhen at the
Pucheng Hotel, which is the best hotel in Pucheng. Fifteen tables were booked,
and the relatives on both sides held it together. The dishes were ordered by
Wang Licheng and Xiao Hongyan together. It was 35 Yuan per table; excluding
tobacco, alcohol, candy, and tea.
The Spring Festival is approaching, not only do the gifts in
the factory need to be delivered, but there are also many shops in the store
who call to order. Chen Derong and Mazi were too busy with the delivery. Wang
Licheng called his three brothers-in-law to help, and Xiao Hongyan also called
his third brother Xiao Jiandang.
Of course, it's not for nothing. Wang Licheng prepared the
New Year's goods for their four families in advance, and the three sisters'
families also added a few good cigarettes and a few bottles of good wine.
The basic salary of Chen Derong and Mazi was also increased
to 100 Yuan a month. The two of them worked overtime for a whole month and only
got off work at 9 o'clock every night. Wang Licheng and Xiao Hongyan were busy
until eleven o'clock before closing the store.
Another thing happened in the past few days, Luo Zhongyong
came. On the week of Xiao Hongyan's birthday, Wang Licheng was waiting for Xiao
Hongyan at the school gate and saw Luo Zhongyong also at the gate. He was sure
that that person was Luo Zhongyong, and he would never admit his mistake this
time.
"Wang Licheng, who are you looking at?" She passed
the math group as she left, and Liang Lixue was still inside. Except for Liang
Lixue, she had never seen Wang Licheng take it so seriously.
Liang Lixue was also a little strange. For a while, she
would stare at him when she saw him, but then when she saw her again, she was
like a complete stranger, and the eyes of the two did not meet.
"You're out. Let's go later, okay? That man is Luo
Zhongyong. I want to see if he's waiting for Liang Lixue." Luo Zhongyong
is the friend he wants to make, and he needs to seize an opportunity to break
into his life. .
"Is he Liang Lixue's object?" Tall and thin, he
looked a little weak, wearing glasses that made him look like a weak scholar.
"Well, it should be?" He didn't know if they were
together now. Since Luo Zhongyong appeared in Pucheng at this time, Liang Lixue
might really be Luo Xue's mother.
"Luo Zhongyong, why are you here?" She told him
not to come.
"Uncle Liang asked me to pick you up and take you back
to Jiangcheng." He only returned to Jiangcheng yesterday. He heard that
Liang Lixue was going on winter vacation, so he volunteered to come to Pucheng
to pick her up.
"If he asks you to pick you up, you can pick it up. Can
you be a bit assertive?" I don't know how to resist, what age is it now,
and he is still a college student, how can he tolerate arranged marriages?
"You are my fiancée, and it is my duty to come to pick
you up." He liked this little girl next door when he was in junior high
school. Later, when his father was transferred to work, he wanted to move. He
was unwilling to leave Liang Lixue. When he was fighting with his parents, they
knew he liked Liang Lixue. The arm was still unable to twist the thigh, and
they moved.
A year ago, when he was still studying in a foreign country,
he heard from his mother that his father had ordered a marriage for him, and he
fell off the table at that time. Dad slapped him on the spot and told him that
Liang Lixue was engaged, and he was stunned.
"What fiancée, I won't admit it." It's your
business if you don't resist, she will definitely fight to the end.
"Then I'll pursue you again, okay? I'm graduating soon,
and I can also be a teacher." Although he didn't like being arranged
marriages, Liang Lixue's resistance was too strong.
Liang Lixue completely ignored Luo Zhongyong's previous
sentence.
"Luo Zhongyong, are you really stupid?" Dad said
that Luo Zhongyong was studying at Capital University, and he couldn't get a
few entrance exams in a year at Capital University. It was still in Jiangcheng,
and he even came to Pucheng. Teaching in small places. If Luo Zhongyong really
read and became a fool, she would not marry him.
"Luo Xue, we grew up together, don't you know me? If
it's someone you don't know, I won't agree. But it's different for you. I know
you, and I know you'll be a good wife. I will make you happy, and I hope you
will give me this opportunity." This silly girl still doesn't understand,
and he doesn't want to say it now, if she doesn't accept herself, it will only
make her hate herself even more.
"Luo Zhongyong, I'm still young, only eighteen years
old." She wanted to pursue free and romantic love, but Luo Zhongyong
ruined her.
"I can wait for you, I haven't graduated yet." It's
because she is still young, he doesn't swear sovereignty now, and he is not by
Liang Lixue's side. What if she is deceived?
Ever since he knew that his marriage partner was Liang
Lixue, he would write a letter to Liang Lixue every week, but she didn't reply
for a year.
"Don't follow me, I'll never see you again when I find
out." I'm sick of it. Brother Luo was not like this before. He would play
with her and teach her to do homework. How could it be like this now?
Wang Licheng and other Liang Lixue came over to greet Luo
Zhongyong.
"Who are you?" He had no acquaintance in Pucheng,
only Liang Lixue who had just left.
"My wife is Liang Lixue's colleague, and I also know
Liang Lixue." He would never let go of the opportunity to know Luo
Zhongyong, even if he was exposed in front of Xiao Hongyan, he would still know
Luo Zhongyong.
"Hello, hello." He reached out and shook hands
with Wang Licheng. He doesn't care about letting people know about his
relationship with Liang Lixue, it's better to let her colleagues see it and
publicize it.
Wang Licheng handed Luo Zhongyong the phone number he just
wrote down.
"This is my phone number. My name is Wang Licheng. If
you have something to contact for, I'll help." Finally, he said in Luo Zhongyong's
ear, "I’ll go first."
"Wang Licheng, you finally talked to Liang Lixue's
partner. What's the matter?"
"It's nothing, just let him cheer."
"Wang Licheng, should you give me an explanation."
Why did you lie to her; she felt a little uncomfortable. He clearly said that
he knew Liang Lixue's partner, but he was a stranger just now. Did Wang Licheng
lie to her? Did he still tell the truth?
"I want to know Luo Zhongyong." He really wanted
to know Luo Zhiyong, not only because of his past life, but also because of his
background.
"So you lied to me."
"No, I really know Luo Zhongyong and Liang Lixue, but
they don't know me. I need to make friends with Luo Zhongyong, I didn't lie to
you on purpose." He gently embraced Xiao Hongyan.
"I really know Luo Zhongyong, and you lied to me so I
am a pig."
Hmph, she is not a sow.
"Then do you have anything to lie to me?"
"There are some things to hide, and I definitely did
not deliberately lie to you."
"Wang Licheng, please don't lie to me." What she
said herself was true, Wang Licheng said. If so, she will take it seriously.
