Special Years

Zhuang Yan told his brother Zhuang Buping that he wanted to cooperate with Xu Xin.

Xu Xin nodded vigorously after listening, and said in a big way: "Your brother is my brother, and I take my building materials everywhere. As long as your brother gives me the same price as others, I will take it from your brother's company. As for Let’s work together on the decoration company, why don’t you make an appointment and I’ll talk to him in detail?”

Fatty Xu was quite cheerful.

But everyone knows a thing or two about the chest-beating in shopping malls. If you sign a contract, you can break it, not to mention a verbal promise?

I'm afraid it all depends on the sequel.

Zhuang Yan felt that he did his best.

Helping Zhuang Buping is actually repaying the debt in his heart.

I've been in the army all the year round, but I can't go back often when I get home. To put it bluntly, the two elderly people in the family have a little headache, and they can't take care of them by themselves, let alone serious illness.

As the saying goes, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve.

I also understood why my battle-hardened father changed jobs and returned home. In front of his mother, Wang Xiaolan, he was simply a Guanyin soldier.

At home, it is my mother Wang Xiaolan who has the final say.

In the past, Zhuang Yan always felt that his father Zhuang Zhenguo was not like a veteran who had fought in wars.

In the TV and movies, aren't the soldiers who have been on the battlefield and killed the enemy all sturdy men? Isn't that the kind of ruthless character who stares at him and makes Yan Wangye take three steps back?

Why did you become a wife slave when you got home?

Zhuang Zhenguo's approach actually intensified his transparency at home.

When they were young, Wang Xiaolan helped them grow up. When they grew up, they returned home. When the children asked their own opinions, Zhuang Zhenguo always said, ask your mother to go, and your mother agrees with me.

Whether it is Zhuang Buping or Zhuang Yan, they all feel that it is better to ask a piece of wood than to ask their father at home.

For his father's behavior, Zhuang Yan used to sneer.

Now, I finally fully understand what a psychological debt is.

I owe Zhuang Buping a love, and I also owe my parents.

The sheep have the grace of kneeling to milk, and the crow has the meaning of feeding back.

I am really ashamed that my son has done this.

When things are settled, everyone is happy.

Fatty Xu became active again and said that he would take Zhuang Yan to the nightclub to experience the nightlife in Binhai City.

solemnly declined.

Fatty Xu was unhappy and said, "Brother Zhuang, if it wasn't for the letter with you, I really thought you went to the Monk Temple for three years to become a monk Qingxiu instead of a soldier."

After talking, he brought up the matter of solemn discharge from the army.

"I heard from your brother, what training camp have you attended recently and are you going abroad?" Fatty Xu asked.

Nodding solemnly and admitting: "Well, I'm going to study abroad."

Fatty Xu's eyes lit up first, his thumbs up, and he exclaimed, "Awesome!"

Then the conversation changed, and he said, "But it's useless. So, do you plan to work in the army for the rest of your life?"

Zhuang Yan said: "I dare not say in my whole life that if I don't become a general, sooner or later, I will face a change of career."

"That's right!"

Fatty Xu patted his thigh excitedly, as if he saw the truth.

"You said, you have been an officer for ten or twenty years, and you still have to go back to the place? After going around, you have returned to the original point. That's right, when an officer changes his career, he is a cadre, and when a soldier returns from retirement, he is a worker. , but it's not easy to switch to a cadre now? With your solemn conditions, that's a piece of cake."

Drank the tea solemnly, looked at the old classmate across from him and sighed, but didn't say a word.

"Tell me, how much salary do you get a month now?" Fatty Xu suddenly became interested in the solemn income.

"We don't call it salary, it's called allowance, and it has a different meaning." Zhuang Yan said: "In the first year of being a soldier, I get 35 yuan, the rank of private soldier, and the second year, the senior soldier gets 42 yuan. This year is the third year. The corporal should be transferred, but it was canceled. According to the previous regulations, I can only get 48, but after the military reform, I can get nearly 200."

"Huh!" Fatty Xu's disgust deepened his disgust: "I'm so tired of training, so I'll give you this money? Two hundred yuan, to put it bluntly, I'm not enough to buy a cigarette, this is buying people's lives!"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "If you give us a salary increase, it will be your taxpayers who will pay, and the tax burden will increase. Are you willing?"

Fatty Xu rolled his eyes, thought for a while and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or lie?"

"I want to listen to people's words," said solemnly.

Fatty Xu said, "No one in business likes the high tax rate, but well, your money is too low... If you want to increase the tax burden, as long as it's not outrageous, I'm still willing!"

Zhuang Yan nodded with a smile, while looking at the ridiculously expensive abalone wings on the table, he said, "Indeed, Fatty Xu, your meal is worth my allowance for one year. I said you can be generous. Don't be so hesitant to answer just now? Can't you just pat your chest and say it's okay?"

"Don't you want to listen to the truth? This is the truth." Fatty Xu confessed and said, "My money didn't come from the wind, and even a penny is broken with blood and sweat. Don't look at me now. Scenery, business affairs, who can tell? It’s always best to hide some firewood when it’s raining on a good day.”

Talking about fighting here, Fatty Xu said again: "In this case, with your allowance, you still haven't returned to your place? What era is it now? Now is the best era! Let me describe to you what the best era is."

He pointed to the table in front of him, opened his hands, and made a wrapping gesture.

"The best era is when there is a lot of money on this table, as long as you have the ability, you can take as much as you can. Come back, there are a lot of opportunities in the place, a lot of money, Lots and lots of…”

Fatty Xu turned his head, glanced at the beautiful girl beside him, and then laughed twice, the laughter was full of some ineffable hint.

Zhuang Yan did not immediately answer his old classmate.

He suddenly felt that maybe he really changed.

In the past, Fatty Xu was his best friend, with the same values ​​and a similar world outlook.

But now sitting across from Fatty Xu, watching this successful businessman talk incessantly, he suddenly felt distant and unfamiliar.

In fact, the farthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, but the difference in values. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

You said across the street, I was listening here, and I never listened.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the small gathering with Fatty Xu finally ended.

When I got home and went downstairs, just as I was going up the stairs, there was a person beside me.

At first glance, it was actually the big brother Zhuang Buping.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Zhuang Buping glanced in the direction where Fatty Xu's crown car disappeared, and asked, "Fatty Xu?"

Nod solemnly.

Zhuang Buping said again: "Did you tell him about the cooperation?"

Seeing that Zhuang Buping was so sad about this matter, Zhuang Yan suddenly felt a little unusual.

"Brother, are you hiding something from me?"
