Chapter 71 Human Disguise
It's like I've really gone back in time. I feel like I'm a little worried about gains and losses. Yes, that's the feeling.
Zhang Dan got busy early in the morning, making breakfast and helping his daughter pack her schoolbag. After breakfast, she took her daughter out.
Almost an hour later, Zhang Dan bought a lot of vegetables and she started working in the kitchen.
"Husband, I saw that a seafood stall in the wet market has opened. Do you have any ideas in this regard? Why not try it? After all, the old customers are all here." Zhang Dan chatted with me casually while busy in the kitchen.
Chatting.
Today, Zhang Dan bought several kinds of seafood for the first time, as well as cooked food, and even several bottles of good wine. Among them, I saw a bottle of Guojiao.
Zhang Dan knows that I like to drink this brand of wine, at least in the past, but since my business failed, I have never touched this brand of wine.
"It's not that easy to do. We don't even have the capital, and I don't want to be in the seafood business anymore." I responded.
The annual rent for a storefront in a vegetable market is more than 100,000 yuan, and all my belongings add up to only 70,000 yuan. Since I have decided to renovate the house for my parents back home, I will not use it. Of course, I will ask my parents.
I can't bear to look down upon someone asking to borrow money. This is a man's dignity.
No, do I have dignity?
I started asking myself questions.
"Husband, what job are you going to do after you fully recover?" Zhang Dan continued to ask.
"I should stick to my old profession and join a company as a salesperson." I thought for a while and responded.
"Yeah, sales are pretty good." Zhang Dan nodded in agreement.
"By the way, aren't you supposed to go to work? Why haven't you gone these two days?" I asked hurriedly.
"You have forgotten that I am a sales manager. It is okay to take two days off and let the people below me keep an eye on me." Zhang Dan said with a smile.
Hearing Zhang Dan say this, I nodded.
It was almost ten o'clock in the morning, and sure enough, the doorbell rang.
"My mother is here." Zhang Dan wiped his hands on his apron and hurriedly opened the door.
I sat on the sofa and watched Zhang Dan open the security door.
"Dad, Mom, brothers and sisters-in-law." Zhang Dan began to call people.
"Hahahaha, don't be so polite, Xiao Chen, are you feeling okay?"
"Yes, brother-in-law, are you okay? I've been watching the news, you are so awesome, it's so refreshing!"
"Brother-in-law, this is the wine we bought for you."
Under the continuous words, I looked at my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then at Lin Qiang and his younger siblings.
The father-in-law was dressed very energetically today for the first time. He wore a white shirt with black trousers, bright leather shoes, and his white hair was combed back. Those who didn't know better thought he was an elderly entrepreneur. As for the mother-in-law, she was wearing a bright red dress and a wavy perm.
curls.
In addition to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Zhang Jun and his younger siblings were dressed as a couple. They were carrying two bottles of Guojiao, some herbs, some bird's nest, American ginseng, and a gift bag of snacks for the children.
"It's okay." I forced a smile and did not get up from the sofa.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Since my mother-in-law came to apologize, she is also a guest after all. Why should I go to quarrel and make the neighbors watch the joke?
"Mom, look at my brother-in-law!" My sister-in-law obviously felt that I was a little cold, so she spoke softly.
The sister-in-law's name is Wang Xia. When she married Lin Qiang, she didn't give away any of the bride price. When the wedding car arrived, she had to pay 5,800 yuan for getting off the car. Because of this, Zhang Jun and Wang Xia's wedding almost went wrong. It was fine at that time.
I had some cash to resolve the embarrassment.
Time has passed, how can I forget the scenes of the past?
"Husband!" Zhang Dan smiled awkwardly, then looked at me.
At this moment, the father-in-law and mother-in-law, Zhang Jun and Wang Xia all looked at each other, and then Zhang Jun spoke first.
"Brother-in-law, it was my fault the past two days. I shouldn't have hit you. I thought about it when I went back. Without you, brother-in-law, how could I, Zhang Jun, be where I am today? Today I am here to apologize. I hope that you, brother-in-law, will have more.
Don't worry about it, or you can just beat me up!" Zhang Jun was confident and confident, as if he was ready to fight.
"What are you talking about? You can't fight me!" Wang Xia pouted and pinched Zhang Jun.
"Xiao Chen, my mother said something harsh before, but it's not for this family. Can you forgive me? It's not good for the neighbors to see you." The mother-in-law looked embarrassed, and when she saw Zhang Jundi
To set an example, follow the sentence immediately.
"Yes, Xiao Chen, we are all one family. Let the past be past. Don't we all hope to get better?" Father-in-law also spoke.
After hearing my parents' apology, I got up from the sofa.
"Come in and sit down." I said.
"Okay, I knew my brother-in-law wouldn't care." Zhang Jun grinned, overjoyed.
"Dad, Mom, you guys sit down too, sit on the sofa." Zhang Dan greeted her hurriedly.
"Sister, let me help you cook." Wang Xia said quickly.
"No need, how can I ask you to help." Zhang Dan smiled.
Soon, my mother-in-law's family sat down on the sofa in the living room and began to be polite. Some were eating melon seeds, some were watching TV, and they started chatting.
"Brother-in-law, you look so handsome when you pick up a fire extinguisher and hit the gangsters. Are you crazy? I was stunned for a while." Zhang Jun grinned and didn't forget to nudge me with his shoulder after he finished speaking.
, those who don’t know think that Zhang Jun and I are very close brothers.
"Yes, Xiao Chen. It was so dangerous at that time. Why are you so brave? What if the knife goes deeper?" said the father-in-law.
"I didn't think so much." I responded briefly.
After hearing my words, my father-in-law nodded, and my mother-in-law looked at me intentionally or unintentionally. She seemed to be planning to say something, but she still hesitated.
"Brother-in-law, you are now our big hero in Binjiang. If you open a shop, the business will definitely be booming. Don't you plan to take advantage of this wave of popularity to make seafood again? Who in the nearby community doesn't know you now? You really opened this business.
It's definitely a good deal." Zhang Jun suddenly changed his tone.
"Yes, brother-in-law, have you considered it? If the business grows, we can also help." Wang Xia also said.
Humph, I know that no good thing will come to your door. Now I have become a big hero. I am the one talked about the most by the neighbors. If I open a seafood restaurant again, I know it will definitely not have enough appeal [Biqudao www.biqudao.xyz] Xiao
.
But I know I won’t do this again. I used to go out early and come back late just for this family, but now, I want my own life. Why should I work hard and keep you fed and drunk?
"I don't plan to cook seafood anymore, and I don't have the money," I said.
"This is such a pity." Wang Xia couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother-in-law, this is really a pity. With your current popularity and connections, as long as you do business and we upload it online, it will become an Internet celebrity store. Business will definitely be very good by then." Zhang Jun spoke again.
"Do you want to invest?" I looked at Zhang Jun and his wife, then glanced at my father-in-law and mother-in-law.
When I said this, Zhang Jun's expression became a little stiff, and he scratched the back of his head: "Sister, brother-in-law, you also know me. I have paid off loans over the years, but I have no savings. You are in big business, so we are just here.
Running errands, there is no money left to invest."
