Originally, Liu Hai wanted to take advantage of this period of free time to find a way to accumulate the merits of the fourth merit leaf as soon as possible. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the number of merits on the fourth merit leaf reached nine.
One hundred and fifty-three copies, the four additional copies, are the "running accounts" that have been received in the past two days. There are still 46 copies away from the nine hundred and ninety-nine copies. This number is not many, but it is also a lot. It is not a day.
It can be gathered in two days. After all, there are very few opportunities to obtain a huge amount of merit at once like last time.
Before Liu Hai could get along better, he received a call from Li Brown.
On the phone, Li Brown only said one sentence - Haizi, come to the street to drink with me.
Liu Hai could hear desolation, frustration, helplessness, distress, and even a trace of anger in these words.
What happened? A few days ago, when I went to pay New Year greetings, it was not like this. Liu Hai didn't think much, hung up the phone, and drove down the street alone.
When Liu Hai came to Li Brown's house, Li's father and Li's mother were sitting in the shop downstairs in a daze. They didn't seem to be in a high mood. When they saw Liu Hai's arrival, they all stood up to greet Liu Hai.
Father Li and Mother Li both knew that their son, a classmate, was now going to be successful. Looking at the car that Liu Hai drove, they knew that they had never seen such a good car on the street. Even in the county, they rarely saw such a good car.
Nice car.
Although Father Li and Mother Li were very good to Liu Hai in the past, now that Liu Hai has made a difference, he is naturally very happy and encourages his son to interact more with Liu Hai.
"Xiao Hai, you're here, hurry up and do it." Mother Li brought the fruit plate and asked Liu Hai to sit down.
"Uncle, Auntie, did something happen? Brown called me, and it seemed that his mood was not right. Where is Brown?" Liu Hai noticed something abnormal from the emotions of the two adults, and it seemed that something must have happened.
Father Li lit a rough paper cigarette, took a deep puff, exhaled thick smoke, and said angrily: "Didn't this unlucky boy have a girlfriend? He blew it!"
Father Li took another deep breath and said, "I'm sulking upstairs now. I didn't even eat breakfast. I'm really unsatisfied. It's not like I can't find my wife. I'm a man and he's going to live or die. It's so shameless. After so many years,
The book was read in vain!”
"You, please stop saying a few words. If my son is unhappy, you can't stop saying a few words. You have seen that girl too. She looks good and looks good. No wonder my son likes her. Alas, I don't blame you for being useless.
Didn’t earn some family fortune for my son————”
"What! Blame me? If I hadn't raised him, how could he have grown so strong? Look at him, he's almost 160 pounds now. Without my food, how could he have gained so much weight?"
Liu Hai heard some general ideas and sighed inwardly.
"Uncle, aunt, don't argue. I'll go up and see Brown. I'll take him out to have some food later and comfort him."
"Xiao Hai, just eat at home. We have all kinds of food at home -" Li's mother is a thrifty person. But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Li's father.
"You two brothers can go out to eat and chat, Xiaohai, help your uncle comfort that boy. It doesn't matter if you drink a little, just don't get drunk." Father Li is a man after all, and men know best about things between men.
.
When Liu Hai saw Li Brown upstairs, Li Brown was huddled in bed.
"Hey, kid, it's already ten o'clock, why are you still sleeping? Get up quickly and accompany me to the county seat."
Li Brown stood up and saw that the person coming was Liu Hai, and he fumbled to get dressed without saying anything.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Liu Hai felt that his brother seemed to have changed. His face was covered with stubble, as if he had aged five or six years suddenly. The young man who was only nineteen years old now looked like he had two children.
He looks like he is fourteen or fifteen years old. His original lively look has now disappeared, his face is full of silence, and his eyes seem to have no hope for life.
After getting dressed, Li Brown didn't say anything, didn't brush his teeth, didn't wash his face, and walked straight downstairs.
The two went off-road and drove towards the road leading to the county town.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Liu Hai was the first to break the silence.
"Are there any cigarettes?" Li Brown didn't answer the question and actually asked about cigarettes. Liu Hai remembered that Li Brown didn't smoke.
"There is no cigarette, but there is a slap in the face. Tell me quickly, what happened to you and Zhou Yan? What makes you so desperate? If you don't tell me, I will give you a slap in the face -"
Li Brown's girlfriend Zhou Yan and Li Brown Liu Hai are both high school classmates.
After Liu Hai finished speaking, there was silence again. It seemed that silence suddenly became synonymous with Li Brown. However, Liu Hai could understand that when he knew Wen Bingbing had a boyfriend, he was not much better than Li Brown at this time.
"Her family thinks my family is poor."
After a long time, a sentence finally came out of Li Brown's mouth. However, this sentence contained extremely complex emotions. From this sentence, Liu Hai heard desolation, frustration, and helplessness.
, I could hear the distress, and also a hint of anger.
For a moment, Liu Hai didn't know what to say. When money and status affect love, the first reaction of simple people is not shame and anger, but surprise. So Liu Hai's first reaction was to be stunned.
.
The only sound from the car was the vibration of the engine.
"What's Zhou Yan's reaction?"
"She hasn't contacted me for three days, and I don't know what her attitude is. She said she would convince her parents before, but there has been no news since then. Xiaohai, tell me, is there really love in this world?"
The young man has begun to have doubts about love.
"There should be, look at me and Ouyang Hui." Liu Hai wanted to give his good brother confidence through his own example.
"I'm different from you. You have the ability, but what about me? Haha -" Li Brown smiled self-deprecatingly, looking out the window, full of sarcasm of the world.
There was silence in the car. Suddenly, Liu Hai felt that Li Brown had matured a lot, although at the moment he was still trapped in the emotional whirlpool.
Sure enough, women are the best catalyst for men to mature, and falling out of love is the most direct catalyst.
The car drove into the county town like a ghost and arrived in front of the best hotel in the county town.
Zijin Dynasty is the only four-star hotel in Long County. Liu Hai felt that perhaps he should start here to help his brother regain his confidence.
It was indeed the first time for Lee Brown to enjoy the service of a doorman opening the door.
"Haizi, there's no need to be so extravagant, right?" Li Brown pulled his bangs hesitantly.
Liu Hai turned back and stared into Li Brown's eyes, and said seriously: "Don't you want to try what they say the life of the rich is like? Brown, we are almost twenty, it's time to have a goal to strive for, try
Go ahead and find the life you want. Don’t you want to know why Zhou Yan’s parents dislike you for being poor?”
Liu Hai's words made Li Brown let go of his hand.
The two people followed the waiter to the front desk.
"Sir, would you like to stay or eat?" The sweet-looking waitress also spoke equally sweetly, which made people feel light and airy.
"Get a room first. Do you still have the last room?"
"Sir, this is the best hotel in Long County. The last VIP suite costs 999 a day. There is only one left. Do you want to stay?"
Li Brown was secretly shocked when he heard this. The cost for one day was nine hundred and ninety-nine. This was simply a money grab!
"Of course!" Liu Hai's words contained the arrogance of a nouveau riche, but in Li Brown's ears, they were very powerful and refreshing.
"Stay for one day." Liu Hai took out his credit card and paid the deposit, and then asked coolly: "Do you have any better services here?"
Today I am taking Li Brown to enjoy the life of a rich person, so naturally I want to have some fun like a rich person.
"Sir, you can try our sauna service——"
So classmate Li Brown enjoyed a high-end sauna massage service for the first time in his life under the leadership of classmate Liu Hai. The waiter was a good-looking member of the opposite sex.
After rejecting the request for special service, the two of them came to the hotel lobby with glowing faces and prepared to start dining.
The two of them sat down against the window, and after ordering their meals according to the code of conduct of the nouveau riche who only wanted the most expensive, not the best, they finally began to sit down and chat.
"How is it? Does the life of a rich person feel good?" Liu Hai looked at Li Brown jokingly.
After experiencing the sauna massage just now, Li Brown felt lazy all over. He had to admit that rich people do enjoy it. Even if he had a little contact with it today, he could still feel the "charm" of money.
Li Brown smiled bitterly as a response to bangs.
"Haizi, although the life of the rich is indeed very pleasant, there are only a few rich people after all. And is having money really that important to love?"
Liu Hai shook his head, looked at the pedestrians and vehicles passing by outside the window, and said in a gentle tone: "Money is not important for love, but it is very important for life. If you don't have money, what will you use to buy a house or a car?"
Let’s live life, let alone buy luxury goods, stay in luxury hotels, and enjoy high-end saunas. What is love? In the final analysis, love is a part of life."
"As parents, there is nothing wrong in wanting their daughters to live a better life. Although they only consider material aspects of life, after all, this society is a material society. Others only want their daughters to be better.
."
"Then...am I going to give up like this?" There was a bit of pain in Li Brown's words, and he had to admit that what Liu Hai said made sense.
"Give up? Of course not!" Liu Hai looked at Li Brown with a smile.
"Brown, tell the truth, how much do you love Zhou Yan? Will you give up your love for Zhou Yan?"
"of course not!"
"So the key now is Zhou Yan's attitude." Liu Hai hit the nail on the head and revealed the key point.
"As long as Zhou Yan doesn't give up on your relationship, everything will be easy to handle. Money is earned. You are only nineteen, and you still have a lot of time to earn money to prove it to Zhou Yan's parents, right?
?”
Liu Hai's words suddenly filled Li Brown's heart with hope, and his eyes shone! Yes, the main thing now is to see Zhou Yan's attitude. As long as Zhou Yan doesn't give up her relationship with him, all the situation can be saved!
Thinking in his mind, Li Brown couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and dial Zhou Yan. His eager look made Liu Hai chuckle to himself.
After the call was made, the other party hung up, but Zhou Yan soon sent a text message. The two began to communicate via text messages. Judging from the increasingly excited expression on Li Brown's face, Liu Hai knew the answer without asking.
After all the dishes were served, Li Brown put down his phone with satisfaction.
"have got to go?"
"No more chatting. Zhou Yan is going out with her parents to pay New Year greetings. Haizi, let's eat. I'm starving to death. Wow! So many delicious foods! Haha, I'm in a good mood today!"
