"I won't agree to this matter no matter how much trouble you make today. It's almost time. If you haven't decided whether to hang yourself yet, think about it slowly. I'll go home and cook first." Chen Lishu said.
He turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate to go home.
Mrs. Chen opened her mouth and saw that everyone was walking away. Who would she show to her? In the end, she could only vent her anger and scolded Chen Mandun, then helplessly went home with Zhang Chunhua.
But after all, I was holding back my anger, and I felt uncomfortable the night I returned home. I hurriedly called the village doctor to check on the situation. He said it was an acute fire, so he gave me an intravenous drip and prescribed medicine.
After all, as she gets older, especially in the winter, Mrs. Chen still cherishes her life very much. She is really afraid that the trouble will be over in an instant. She no longer dares to go out and make mischief. She stays at home until the Chinese New Year.
Without the support of Mrs. Chen, Chen Baozhu became completely honest. He finally begged Hu Si'er and followed the others to the mountains to dig dirt and build roads.
…
"You are not young anymore. Now that we are twenty-eight, your father and I are still waiting to have a grandchild."
Nan Haitao looked up from the newspaper in his hand: "My eldest sister Jia Lele and my father don't like you very much."
"Can that be the same?"
Mother Nan put the sweater she was knitting on the coffee table aside, leaned forward and asked curiously: "Son, do you have someone you like in your heart?"
This time Nan Haitao didn't even raise his head: "No, don't think about it all day long."
"I think your Uncle Zhou's daughter is pretty good. She works in the county hospital. How about I ask her to come out and meet her."
"I've seen that girl before. She's not my type at all. Mom, don't worry about it." Nan Haitao said and stood up: "I suddenly remembered that there is something else going on in the company. Mom, I'm leaving first."
"I didn't feel anything like your dad before we got married. We weren't getting along yet. The girl's family is in good condition in all aspects..."
Before Nan's mother finished speaking, Nan Haitao's figure had disappeared at the door.
…
Seeing that she will need to buy seedlings in a month, and various matters need to be put on the agenda, but after deducting the bonus and the filial piety money for her parents, Chen Lishu doesn't even have a hundred yuan in her hand now.
The pilot personal loan business of the four major state-owned banks will not be opened for another two years, and Chen Lishu cannot get a loan at all now.
She made a rough estimate and conservatively estimated that the initial investment would be at least thirty to forty thousand. This was not a small amount of money. Chen Lishu thought about it and decided to ask Nan Haitao. If it didn't work, she could only wait until she made money.
Then invest slowly.
After breakfast that day, Chen Lishu went straight to the department store in town after telling her family.
When Chen Lishu went there, Nan Haitao was looking at the goods in the warehouse, and she waited for almost half an hour before she saw him come up.
"Why are you free to come here today?" Seeing her waiting at the door of the office, Nan Haitao walked a few steps quickly, took out his key and opened the door.
Chen Lishu smiled: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I just need your help."
Nan Haitao raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Then I have to see how big of a deal it is."
As they talked, the two entered the office together. Nan Haitao picked up the thermos bottle on the table and poured her a glass of boiled water.
"Thank you." Chen Lishu took it and took a sip. The warm water added a little warmth to her whole body.
"I contracted the mountain in our village."
Nan Haitao looked sideways, not expecting that she could accomplish such a big thing without saying a word.
"I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to contract the mountainous land, right?"
Chen Lishu smiled bitterly: "No, all the money I have saved in the past few years has been spent, and a lot of money will be invested in the future. I have no money now. I came here just to ask if you can lend me some."
"If the loan is not in vain, I will give you an IOU. I will pay you more than the bank's interest rate."
"Ha." Seeing her anxious look, Nan Haitao couldn't help but chuckle and joked: "I definitely can't lend it to you without writing an IOU."
Chen Lishu blinked: "Did you agree to borrow the money?"
"It's higher than the bank's interest rate. How could I disagree with such an attractive condition?" Nan Haitao smiled and pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "How much do you need?"
"Forty thousand." After Chen Lishu finished speaking, she hesitated: "If there is not that much, thirty thousand is fine."
Nan Haitao nodded: "Then 40,000."
Because large-scale withdrawals required greetings to the bank in advance, and after agreeing to come and withdraw the money the next day, Chen Lishu stood up and left.
Zhou Xiaoqun was off duty at the hospital today, and Nan Haitao was busy at the end of the year. She had made an appointment before but was pushed away by him. This time she wanted to take the initiative and go to the company to find him.
As soon as he reached the door, before he could knock on the door, he saw the office door being opened and a young and beautiful girl in her twenties walking out. Zhou Xiaoqun's expression changed.
Chen Lishu also saw Zhou Xiaoqun and thought he was working with Nan Haitao. She turned around and asked, "When are you free tomorrow? I'll come find you."
"I'm at the company all day long, you can come over at any time."
Chen Lishu nodded and went downstairs without disturbing Zhou Xiaoqun.
It wasn't until he saw Chen Lishu's figure disappearing around the corner that Nan Haitao withdrew his gaze and focused on Zhou Xiaoqun: "Dr. Zhou, why are you free to come here today?"
Zhou Xiaoqun smiled: "Why don't you invite me in and sit down?"
Nan Haitao stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, and soon the two of them went to sit down in the room.
"Who was that girl just now? It doesn't look like she's from your company?" Zhou Xiaoqun couldn't help but ask.
Nan Haitao didn't want to talk more: "A friend."
"Do you have time after get off work? I'll treat you to a movie."
Nan Haitao looked at her smiling face and suddenly said seriously: "Zhou Xiaoqun, I don't think we are suitable, and I don't want to waste your time, so let's forget about watching the movie."
The smile on Zhou Xiaoqun's face finally cracked: "Is it because of that girl just now?"
"Don't make wild guesses. She is just a friend of mine. I have no plans to get married yet. I don't want to waste your time."
Zhou Xiaoqun forced out a smile: "It doesn't matter, we can be friends first." Afraid of Nan Haitao's rejection again, Zhou Xiaoqun hurriedly stood up: "What, I suddenly remembered that there is something else in the hospital, so I left first."
Looking at her back, which was almost running away, Nan Haitao took off his glasses and pinched his eyebrows twice in annoyance.
…
The next day, Chen Lishu went to the department store as scheduled and went to withdraw money with Nan Haitao. Chen Lishu handed him the pre-written IOU and then deposited the money into her bankbook.
However, she did not save all of it. Instead, she kept two thousand yuan and went to the nursery to order 20,000 sea buckthorn saplings, as well as 5,000 fruit tree saplings and other medicinal seeds. She agreed to pay the balance when picking up the goods after the year.
