Chapter 79 Neighbors and Classmates
083. Neighbors and classmates
After arriving at the Sports Ping, Tang Wen directly found an open place to park his car. I opened the trunk and took out the barbecue, found an empty pavilion and planned to go there and eat.
At 9pm, because it was winter, there was no one around the pavilion. Tang Wen took out the steaming barbecue, lined it up and started to skewer it.
"Sister Zhao, how many days are you giving me? Seven days? No, no, no, three days. I will pay you back within three days." Tang Wen, who was having a good meal, suddenly heard a woman's voice.
"Haha? Give you three more days? Long Jiao, do you think I'm a fool? Last time I went to your house and was stuck in traffic for a week, and you went back to your parents' house to hide for a week? Do you think I will still believe you?"
"Sister Zhao, I really have no money now. If you give me a few more days, I will pay you back."
"Stop talking nonsense, your husband owes me 100,000 yuan, and you owe me 250,000 yuan. Now your husband doesn't come back home during the Chinese New Year and goes down to work. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law took your son to GZ. Where can I get it? money?"
The woman known as Sister Zhao continued to scold: "Long Jiao, a person needs face and a tree needs bark. I kindly lent you money to make a living, but why don't you just use it to gamble? Are you still saying you have no money today? Then I just came from Is what I saw in the mahjong parlor a ghost?”
"On New Year's Day, my store also needs to pay wages. How about you pay me back 50,000 yuan first? Let me pay the employees' wages first. I don't want to go to you to ask for money on New Year's Day. It's unlucky. "
After Tang Wen finished eating the last chicken wing with satisfaction, he packed up the garbage and threw it into the trash can next to him.
As he walked towards the place where he parked his car, he found several women surrounding a man wearing a blue OL uniform, whose appearance he could not clearly see. But judging from the appearance, he is either an employee of a gold store or a shopping guide in a supermarket.
"Hey, please give way." Tang Wen said as he watched the woman in the lead blocking his car door and pressed the unlock button.
The woman subconsciously took a few steps back, and then Tang Wen discovered the person who was blocked. I really know him.
"Sister Jiao? What are you doing here?" Tang Wen, who was about to get in the car, said in surprise when he saw Long Jiao. He realized that he had just heard the woman say Long Jiao's name.
Tang Wen didn't react for a moment.
Long Jiao and Tang Wen's mother Long Yun are from the same village, but they are not in the same team. The wife of Tang Wen's grandfather's cousin's son is somewhat related to Tang Wen.
"Ah, Wenwen, why are you here?" Long Jiao was stunned for a moment when she saw Tang Wen, and then replied coyly. No matter who is being collected for debt, he or she will still feel a little embarrassed when meeting his "junior".
Tang Wen raised the Mercedes-Benz key in his hand and said, "My car is parked here."
Before Long Jiao could say anything, Sister Zhao, who was taking the lead, quickly added to Tang Wen's jealousy: "Little handsome guy, it would be great if you met her. Can you be a fair person? Is it natural to pay back debts? I didn't overcharge you." She has been given half a year to pay back the interest, and she still goes to the mahjong parlor every day. "
Tang Wen also had a headache about Sister Zhao's words.
It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to intervene in household affairs, and it was not easy for Tang Wen to interfere in such matters. Moreover, later Tang Wen also knew about the divorce between Long Jiao and Tang Man, so it is really difficult for Tang Wen to help now.
Long Jiao originally wanted to make a few excuses, but she kept telling Sister Zhao that she had no money, but she just blocked her in the mahjong parlor, how could she excuse herself?
Tang Wen thought for a while and then said: "Forget it, eldest sister, it's not good to ask for money during the Chinese New Year. Otherwise, you can just wait until the Chinese New Year. By then, my uncle and his parents will be back, and you won't be able to ask for money." It's more convenient. Now that you're making things difficult for my sister, where can you go to get it together? "
"What if she doesn't pay back the money after the New Year?" Sister Zhao asked doubtfully.
"My uncle and the others should be back after the Chinese New Year. It will be convenient for you to ask for money then. The old man still values face." Tang Wen persuaded.
"Okay, little brother. Just give her a few more days because of your face." Sister Zhao looked at the Mercedes Benz next to Tang Wen, and finally chose to sell it to Tang Wen to save face.
After Sister Zhao and others left, Tang Wen helped the sobbing Long Jiao and said helplessly: "Sister Jiao, just pay it back if you have the money."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuorilt;How can I still have money? Your uncle owes more than 200,000 yuan outside, so how can I still have money?" Long Jiao said in tears.
"Hey, get in the car. I'll take you back first." Tang Wen helped Long Jiao and walked to the co-pilot to get in the car, then drove towards his old house.
It's not that Tang Wen isn't willing to help these "relatives", it's just that there are some things he can't open. Once opened, it is a bottomless pit. So Tang Wen also gave instructions when he gave money to his parents.
Who doesn't have jealous relatives? It's okay for the lion to open his mouth once, but I'm afraid they will form a habit. Fortunately, my mother worked in finance before. Borrowing money is a loan, but the IOU cannot be missing.
If you don't pay back the money, Tang Wen's mother will really take you to court.
After a while, the car stopped on the side of the road.
"Sister Jiao, please pay attention to yourself from now on." Tang Wen didn't know what to say. He sent Long Jiao downstairs and then turned around and left. He should avoid getting involved in such things.
After returning home, Tang Wen took a hot bath, chatted with his group of women for a while, and sent a few 520s to several other people's "goddesses" before Tang Wen yawned and prepared to go to bed.
The next morning, Tang Wen's mother asked Tang Wen and his uncle to give gifts to the elders. Tang Wen had no choice but to drive to the old house and take his uncle to run around.
Uncle Tang Zhong had just been out for a few years and married a rural wife with the support of his grandparents. They had always lived a very tight life, but his work was quite to the liking of Tang Wen's father Tang Lin.
So his father bought two storefronts for the couple in the most luxurious area in the county and asked him to sell some cigarettes, alcohol and bulk goods, so they lived a comfortable life.
For my father's eldest brother, my mother Long Yun was determined not to lend money. Because they were typical "snobbish" people. They only came back once when my grandfather left, and the last time they came back was when my grandfather said he wanted to divide the family property.
During this period, they never came to see him once, even if the uncle was useless, he took good care of him, so my mother was very unhappy. Of course, my father was also very happy to turn a blind eye to my mother's power.
After giving the gifts, the uncle went to his own store to help his wife. At this time, the busiest aunt not only has to take care of the baby, but also has to sell goods, so after giving the gifts, the uncle went to help in his own store.
Originally, my mother would occasionally help them take care of the baby, but these days my mother is also busy preparing New Year goods with my father. So they took care of it themselves.
Tang Wen, who had nothing to do, parked the car in front of his uncle's store, and then prepared to go to the supermarket to buy some snacks to go home and continue to cultivate.
"Pearl seeds, cola, potato chips, spicy strips, dried meat, sour dates?"
Tang Wen pushed a cart and began to buy goods frantically. Soon the cart was full of various snacks. After arriving at the cashier, Tang Wen saw chewing gum next to him and took a few cans.
Turning his head, his body bumped into a supermarket shopping guide.
"Sorry." Before Tang Wen could speak, the woman opposite spoke first.
"I am sorry, I didn't pay attention just now. Eh? Who are you? Tang Hong?" Tang Wen apologized while looking at the tall and thin woman he bumped into.
"Ah? Who are you?" the other person asked when someone called her name.
"Haha, don't you recognize me? Me? Tang Wen, the one who used to surf the Internet with me in the Internet Cafe, from Class 29." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"Oh, it's you. I didn't recognize you after not seeing you for a long time." The woman covered her mouth and laughed.
"Tang Hong, what are you doing? Why don't you go over there and tidy up?" A woman with a supervisor said to Tang Hong.
"Oh, I have something to talk about next time." Tang Hong replied.
"Well, your QQ hasn't changed, right?"
"No, it's still the same."
"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner when I'm free." Tang Wen said with a smile, then waved to her and went to pay the bill.
The reason why Tang Hong had such a deep impression was that she was too thin. She was just a bamboo pole, and she had no breasts. However, Tang Wen could remember her because she secretly added a lot of money to Tang Wen when she was the network administrator in the Internet Cafe. They said they were from the same school and in the next class, so there was no need to be polite.
When he was in junior high school, Tang Wen was a frequent visitor to the Internet cafe, so he had such a deep impression of her. However, I heard from Er Gouzi Wang Bingbing that she seemed to be married, but her life was not very good.
After Tang Wen paid the bill without thinking too much, he drove the snacks to his old house. After the renovation of the old house, all the rooms have very good sound insulation, and a small swing was built in the yard at the door, which was very poetic.
After telling his mother that he would not go back today, Tang Wen went to his room on the third floor and started watching TV.
Suddenly, the Q on the right side of the computer received a message.
"Is it Tang Wen?"
I saw the note "Tang Hong." and replied casually: "Yes, I didn't expect you to be married. I haven't finished college yet."
"Hehe, it's still early. It's just an engagement now." Tang Hong replied.
"Oh, then congratulations. What does your partner do?" Tang Wen asked.
"I passed the exam for the Urban Management Department and am now undergoing training in the city."
"Puff." Tang Wen couldn't help but thought, "What a talent."
"Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to a meal. After all, you've paid so much for my internet bill." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"Ah? Really? Are you so polite now? Question/expression."
"Why would I lie to you? Where do you live? I'll pick you up in the evening." Tang Wen replied casually.
"Still at the Cement Factory. You can wait for me at the factory gate. My phone number is: 133."
"Oh, I see. See you in the evening." Tang Wen continued to reply.
"Okay."
"Cement Factory? She still lives in the old factory building over there?" Tang Wen sighed. In this small county town, the Cement Factory is basically a gathering place for low-income people.
Local people basically don't live there unless their families are broken up.
Because the house price there is low, only 150 yuan a month, many supermarket workers and outsiders rent houses there. Because it is located in the west of the county, it is also jokingly called "poor west" by locals.
At 5:30 in the evening, Tang Wen drove a big G to the gate of a cement factory. Unlike the county, the people coming and going here are all laid-off workers, who are carrying shoulder poles and small vegetables and rushing home.
"Hello, I'm here." Tang Wen took out his mobile phone and called Tang Hong.
"Oh, wait a minute, I'll wash my hair and change clothes." There was a sound of iron pipes rubbing against the ground from Tang Hong's side, dingdong.
About ten minutes later, Tang Hong, wearing jeans and a windbreaker, appeared at the factory gate.
"I'm here, why don't I see you?" Tang Hong called Tang Wen and asked.
"Ding ding ding, look to the right, black Mercedes."
"Huh?"
"Get in the car, aren't you cold?" Looking at Tang Hong who was standing by the car, he said with a smile.
After Tang Hong got in the car in a daze, she said carefully: "This? Is this your car?"
"Why not?" Tang Wen asked with a smile.
"Oh, it's a bit unreal." Tang Hong touched the interior and sighed.
"Come on, fasten your seat belt first." Tang Wen reminded, then leaned over to fasten the seat belt for her.
After the car stopped, looking at the single-family villa in front of her. Tang Hong hesitantly said: "Is this the place you mentioned for a casual meal?"
After entering the villa, Tang Hong really understood what someone meant by being nice.
The living room in front of her was more than twice as big as the house she and her three colleagues shared. A toilet was even bigger than the room she lived in.
After Tang Wen handed over the menu, she felt dizzy after taking a look. The bunch of zeros at the back made her completely realize what the gap between the rich and the poor is.
After finishing the meal with fear, Tang Wen suggested going downstairs for a walk. Next to the villa is a park under construction, and there is no one in sight at this time.
The two found a big stone as a stool and sat down, and began to chat about the trivial things in the past.
"Haha, didn't the boss know that you recharged my card too much before?" Tang Wen said curiously.
"Humph, don't you look at who I am. I secretly deleted your recharge records from the background." Tang Hong said proudly.
"Oh, then you are really excellent. By the way, is the Internet Worm still open now?" Tang Wen asked.
"Now it has moved to the opposite side of the river, and the boss has changed." Tang Hong answered truthfully.
"Speaking of which, you used to take advantage of me." Tang Hong said coquettishly.
"Tsk tsk, big flat board, I didn't mean it." Tang Wen spread his hands and pretended to be speechless.
"Hey, you did it on purpose." Tang Hong pretended to be angry.
I don't know why, Tang Wen suddenly hugged Tang Hong's waist and kissed her little mouth.
