Chapter 81 Life and Survival
085, Life and Survival
Tang Wen took a cup of hot water and walked to the parking place alone. There were no parking spaces in the countryside, so Tang Wen parked the car behind someone else's house.
At this time, several naughty children wanted to play next to the car, but were scolded by their parents.
"Damn it, I can't afford to sell you if you scratch it."
The child was aggrieved, but he became honest after being hit on the butt a few times.
"Alas, how can a childhood without slaps be happy?" Tang Wen sighed. At this moment, he wanted to smoke a cigarette to pretend to be deep, but found that he had no cigarettes.
"Puff." A crisp laugh came from the side.
"Oh, cousin, why don't you come out to warm yourself by the fire?" Tang Wen saw that the person who laughed was his cousin, and said helplessly.
"It's too boring at home, I came out for a walk." Zhang Qian said in a low voice.
"Are all the cousin's family members born in the year of the cat? The sound is like this?" Tang Wen muttered in his heart.
"By the way, cousin, where is the grocery store here?" Tang Wen asked, thinking that he had run out of cigarettes.
"Oh, the grocery store, there is no one here, you have to go to the town in front."
"What? What do they do when they run out of oil and salt at home?" Tang Wen asked.
"Yes, there is a grocery store in front." Zhang Qian pointed to a small wooden house opposite and said.
"Oh, I see. I'll go buy a pack of cigarettes." Tang Wen nodded and prepared to go over.
"Boss, buy a pack of cigarettes." Tang Wen shouted to the empty wooden house.
"What kind of cigarettes do you want?" A group of people were warming themselves by a fire in a small shed next to the wooden house, and one of them replied.
"Hetianxia."
"No."
"What about diamonds?"
"What diamonds?"
"Diamond Furong Wang."
"No, just Daqianmen, Xiongshi, Honghe, Soft White, Yida, Hongshuangxi, Hongtashan, and fine products. What do you want?"
"No, Furong Wang 25?"
"No, sold out."
"......"
At this time, Zhang Qian didn't know when she walked behind Tang Wen and pulled Tang Wen's clothes and said, "There are no expensive cigarettes here. You have to go to the town to get them."
"Oh, then I'd better go to the town. Do you know the way, cousin?" Tang Wen sighed.
"Well, go straight ahead, turn a corner and walk a little longer in about 5 minutes." Zhang Qian replied.
"Oh, then walk." After speaking, Tang Wen opened the car door and let Zhang Qian sit in the passenger seat to show the way. This is not Tang Wen's pretentiousness. It's okay to pretend to smoke soft white at ordinary times, but it's a bit inappropriate to give this to others during the New Year.
Under Zhang Qian's guidance, Tang Wen drove to the town. It's called a small town, but it's actually a bigger village. After turning around, Tang Wen bought a pack of soft Zhonghua and a pack of hard Zhonghua in a wholesale supermarket. He took two packs of the soft packs and threw them into the storage compartment, and threw the rest into the trunk.
"Zhang Qian?" Just as Tang Wen was about to leave, a woman's voice called his cousin.
"Zhu Rongrong, you're back too." Zhang Qian looked at the woman and happily held her hand.
"Yeah, I just came back from GZ. I was just about to send you a text message to ask you to attend the class reunion tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet you here. Who is this?" Zhu Rongrong said in surprise.
"This is my cousin. I came here with him to buy cigarettes." Zhang Qian explained.
"Oh, why buy cigarettes? I run a small shop in my house. Just ask my dad to get him a pack." Zhu Rongrong said nonchalantly.
"That wooden house is her home." Zhang Qian explained to Tang Wen in a low voice.
"Come here, let me introduce you. My boyfriend Li Qiang is from Guangdong and his family runs a restaurant." Zhu Rongrong pulled the man next to her to introduce him.
Li Qiang looked at Zhang Qian's pretty face and felt itchy in his heart.
"Hello, my name is Li Qiang." After saying that, he deliberately showed his gold watch.
"Well, hello, my name is Zhang Qian."
As for Tang Wen, he was ignored by the two, because in their eyes, Tang Wen was not wearing any "famous brands" and looked like a college student, so they ignored him.
In their eyes, "famous brands" must have been advertised on TV, such as a certain noble, a certain special X, An T, etc.
What they didn't know was that the jacket on Tang Wen without any logo was enough to buy more than 5 houses in a small county town.
"Little brother, have a cigarette." Li Qiang took out a box of Yunnan Yunnan and handed it to Tang Wen.
Tang Wen had to put the Zhonghua cigarette between his fingers back into the cigarette box and took Li Qiang's Yunnan Yunnan.
"Qianqian, your cousin is too proud. Look at my boyfriend who only spends more than 8,000 yuan a month on cigarettes. Why is he pretending to be rich as a student?" Zhu Rongrong said in a lecturing tone.
Li Qiang also said: "Well, little brother. Students should study hard, don't use their parents' money to pretend to be rich, and don't be so stubborn that you suffer."
"Rongrong, that's not the case. He..." Zhang Qian wanted to explain, but Zhu Rongrong continued to preach to Tang Wen in an elder's tone.
"Your cousin didn't say anything to you, that's embarrassing. Do you know how difficult it is to work outside now? College students in our factory only make more than 3,000 yuan a month. What will you do with your family's money in the future if you squander it like this?"
"Doesn't he also rely on his family?" Tang Wen pointed at Li Qiang with an innocent face.
"Humph, he is a city person with a house and a job. By the way, Qianqian, why don't you come to GZ? Our factory is also recruiting people recently." Zhu Rongrong argued.
"Young man, you need to learn how to behave." Li Qiang continued to educate him in the tone of an elder.
"Oh? I smoke a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes for 70 yuan a day, and you smoke a pack of Yunnan Yunnan cigarettes for 21 yuan a day. You save 49 yuan a day. I smoke for 1 year, 365*49=17885 yuan."
After a pause, Tang Wen continued, "Why should I save tens of thousands of yuan?"
"Haha, do you think your family runs a bank? It's just tens of thousands of yuan. Don't be so arrogant, young man." Li Qiang said disdainfully.
"Is tens of thousands of yuan enough to buy this?" Tang Wen took out the Rittal mobile phone.
The two people opposite were stunned. At their level, how could they know Rittal?
"Oh, you may not know this. Is tens of thousands of yuan enough to buy this?" Tang Wen took out the key of the G-Class again.
They still recognized the big Mercedes-Benz logo. They didn't expect that the "poor boy" they had educated for a long time was actually a rich man. The two felt that they were going to lose face.
"Haha, let's go, cousin, go home for dinner." Tang Wen unlocked the car and pulled Zhang Qian into the G-Class, and drove away in the stunned expressions of the two.
"I'm sorry, cousin." Zhang Qian said shyly, and she was very embarrassed by the "sermon" just now.
"It's nothing. What others say is their business. I just live my own life." Tang Wen shrugged indifferently.
Tang Wen didn't care about Li Qiang and Zhu Rongrong at all. Whether others are willing to smoke 95 or soft white is their own business, even if they are willing to show off, it seems to have nothing to do with me.
There are always some people in society who like to meddle in other people's affairs. Whether other people's lives are good or bad, luxurious or poor, it has nothing to do with you. It's really a group of people who can't even pay back Huabei, and they are still teaching people who drive Lamborghini how to choose a car.
Of course, you still need to show off. Otherwise, where is the fun.
After the two drove back to my aunt's grandmother's house, Tang Wen and Zhang Qian walked back together. The adults were still playing cards, while Tang Wen sat on the sofa and warmed himself with boredom.
"Cousin, I'll give you my phone back. It's dead." Zhang Xue reluctantly returned the dead fruit machine.
"Oh." Tang Wen took the phone and put it in his pocket without saying anything.
When Li Qiang and Zhu Rongrong returned home, they saw the G-Class parked on the opposite road. They were so ashamed that they didn't even dare to look at it and went straight into the house.
During the meal, Tang Wen ate a little and didn't drink because he was driving. After eating, Tang Wen drove his uncle, uncle, and aunt's family to say goodbye.
"Cousin, add me on QQ: 3, my sister's is: 6." Zhang Xue enthusiastically exchanged QQ numbers with her cousin.
"Wow, cousin, your QQ number is five digits." Zhang Xue was surprised.
"Well, I applied for it a long time ago." Tang Wen nodded.
After sending everyone home, Tang Wen accepted the friend addition of two people. The nickname of the cousin was "Little Smart Ghost" and the nickname of the cousin was "Shuiyue."
After adding, Tang Wen was too lazy to chat. It seemed that they were reluctant to open the data to chat with him. So he found a free time to buy some things and went to see Tang Hong.
When he came to the villa area of Ziyuan, Tang Hong had woken up. She took the initiative to stay in Tang Wen's arms for a long time and didn't want to leave. The place where Tang Hong lived was really a bit unsatisfactory.
Tang Wen took the time to find an agent and called her to rent her a newly built elevator house in Tiyuping. As a result, there were no vacancies, so he bought it directly.
So he bought a renovated house on the 9th floor there with 200,000 yuan.
"It's too expensive, I don't want it." Tang Hong shook her head as she looked at the renovated house.
"Be good, I'm worried about you living there."
"Then you stay with me tonight." Tang Hong looked at Tang Wen pitifully.
"Okay, then you have to study hard and eat lollipops at night."
"Bad boy, bad boy." Tang Hong said shyly.
It's not bad to raise a canary in my hometown. Although she doesn't have breasts, she has sexy legs.
After accompanying Tang Hong out for dinner in the evening, Tang Wen accompanied her back to her new home. Tang Hong is also a poor person. Her parents divorced when she was in elementary school, and her father passed away a few years later.
Her mother got married when she saw that the situation was not right and never contacted her again. When she was in junior high school, it was her grandfather who worked hard to save her living expenses. She also worked part-time in the Internet cafe to make some tuition.
Her grandfather passed away the year before last, leaving her alone. After dropping out of high school, she has been doing odd jobs in the county town to make a living.
Now the appearance of Tang Wen has suddenly brought a ray of light to her muddle-headed life. When doing embarrassing things with Tang Wen, she doesn't like to call her husband, but likes to call him dad. It can be seen that this little girl has a serious father complex.
Tang Wen was also very happy about this.
The next morning, after Tang Wen finished her breakfast, she prepared to go home. It seemed that after being away for so many days, her parents seemed to treat her as if she didn't exist.
When she drove back home, her father was still busy playing chess, and her mother was preparing New Year's goods. In the past, the family conditions did not allow it, so there were fewer New Year's goods.
Now her mother has become a shopping maniac, going out every day to buy, buy, buy. Tang Wen, who had nothing to do, had to return to his doghouse and prepare to continue sleeping.
