Chapter 1327
At that time, the village chief had a good relationship with Wang Xiaoming's father, Wang Lisheng. After Wang Lisheng's death, the village chief still owed 20,000 yuan in the bill. At that time, Wang Xiaoming's mother remarried, leaving only three Wang Xiaoming brothers. Village cadres naturally have to take care of the orphans in the village. Wang Lisheng has never been in a hurry to ask Wang Xiaoming to repay the debt owed to him. There is no reason for urging, and it is also because it is a gambling debt.
Gambling debts are not serious debts in themselves. They are written off when a person dies. However, the IOU left by Wang Lisheng did not specify which debts were gambling debts. A kind person told Wang Xiaoming that there was no need to pay them back. The unkind people kept silent, imagining that one day Wang Xiaoming would be able to pay back the money, even if he made a windfall. Of course, there are still few kind people, after all, there are only a few people who like gambling and don't work hard.
The village chief did not expect that Wang Xiaoming would be able to pay him back so quickly. This was equivalent to a windfall, and he felt happy: "Okay, I will handle this matter for you as soon as possible."
Wang Xiaoming said: "Uncle, I will ask Ergou to come to you from now on. My store is very busy and there are not enough people in the kitchen. I really can't leave."
"Okay, just let Ergou come."
For reasons unknown to Wang Xiaoming, Yang Ming's registration went smoothly.
After coming out of the village chief's house, Wang Xiaoming and Wang Ergou went back home to take some things with them. Wang Ergou asked: "Brother, should we go back to the island to celebrate the New Year this year, or should we celebrate the New Year in a rented house?"
Wang Xiaoming said: "I won't be able to come back on New Year's Day. Many people have booked New Year's Eve dinner. Please come back on the first day of the new year."
When the two brothers passed by Luo's house, Wang Xiaoming greeted Luo Maogang and his wife who were sunbathing at the door. Luo Maogang and his wife pretended not to hear and turned away. Wang Ergou pulled Wang Xiaoming's arm: "Brother, why are you talking to them and showing us that face, as if we are sorry for them."
"Haha, it's okay, don't worry." Wang Xiaoming knew that Luo Maogang and his wife were unhappy because they paid a lot of tuition to Yang Ming, and they probably haven't earned back the tuition yet.
Before lunch, they returned to the hotel, and many of Wang Xiaoming's classmates had already arrived. Wang Xiaoming went up to say hello to everyone. He hadn’t seen each other for many years. Everyone’s appearance had changed a lot. Wang Xiaoming couldn’t name many of them. When he mentioned their names, it was difficult to identify the boy in his memory with the classmate in front of him. . He actually found Luo Yufen in the crowd. Luo Yufen was not his classmate. It was said that he was in the second class where he was from the third grade of high school, so not all of the people who came to the party were his classmates. Everyone came, and Wang Xiaoming smiled politely: "Has everyone ordered?"
"Already ordered. I heard that your Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is very famous. Unfortunately, the waiter just said that there is no such thing today. I still want to have a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall." A male classmate said.
Wang Xiaoming said with a smile: "If you want to eat Buddha Jump Over the Wall, you have to make a reservation two days in advance, because it is time-consuming and won't be available for a while. The other dishes in our store are also very good, and every dish is a classic."
Wang Jieling said: "The dishes have been ordered, so ignore Ah Rong."
"Then you guys sit down first, I'll go down and get busy." Wang Xiaoming said and was about to go out.
He was grabbed by a male classmate: "Wang Xiaoming, we have finally got together with our classmates. Don't leave. Come and chat with us. Don't you have a chef when you open a restaurant, and you, the boss, do it yourself?"
Wang Xiaoming said: "What a coincidence. I am also a chef myself. If I don't help, this lunch will not be eaten until the evening. You talk about yours, I will go and work first, and I will come back to chat with you when I am free."
Luo Yufen has been sitting in the corner, looking at Wang Xiaoming silently and keeping silent. There are not many classmates she is familiar with here. The person who organized the class reunion said that the gathering was at Haibawang, so Luo Yufen came here. Most people didn't know her very well and talked to their acquaintances, while she sat alone and listened to others chatting.
Wang Jieling sat next to her and chatted with two other girls: "Do you think Wang Xiaoming is married now? There is a child in his store. Could it be his son?"
A girl with permed curly hair said, "I don't know. Why don't you ask him?"
Another girl with straight hair said: "Probably not. I heard that Wang Xiaoming's family situation is very difficult. He must have been busy paying off debts these years and has no money to get married." She didn't say it very directly. In this situation, no woman Be willing to marry him.
"Isn't that in the past? Now that he has opened a restaurant, it shouldn't be so difficult." Wang Jieling said unwillingly.
The curly-haired girl said, "Are you interested in him? I've had several boyfriends but I haven't settled on one yet. How about I match you up?"
Wang Jieling waved her hand: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just curious." Wang Jieling coveted Wang Xiaoming's appearance, but she also disliked his poverty. However, Wang Xiaoming is also a small hotel owner now, and maybe he is also a potential stock. She still needs to observe for a while, and if she wants to chase someone, does she need other people to help match them up?
Luo Yufen listened to these people talking, lowered her head, bit her lip and played with her mobile phone to hide her emotions. Wang Jieling turned to look at the Apple 6plus in her hand, and took the initiative to talk to her: "You only joined Class 2 in your senior year of high school, right?" Wang Jieling studied liberal arts in her senior year of high school, was not in Class 2, and did not know Luo Yufen.
Luo Yufen didn't raise her head, just hummed.
"Afen, how old is your child?" said the curly-haired girl just now.
Luo Yufen raised her head and showed an unnatural smile: "The older one is three years old, and the younger one has just been weaned."
The curly-haired girl took Luo Yufen's hand: "It's better for Afen. The family conditions are good and she just needs to concentrate on raising her husband and raising children. My biggest wish is to be a full-time wife like her, without having to worry about anything."
When Luo Yufen heard this, she almost cried: "No, no, I think it's good to go to work. I plan to find a job after the New Year."
The curly-haired girl smiled and said: "What are you looking for to do? You are exhausted from work. If you really feel too idle, tell your husband and ask him to open a shop for you, and you can just be the boss lady and collect the money." "
Luo Yufen smiled bitterly.
Wang Jieling asked: "What does your husband do?"
The curly-haired girl said very proudly: "His husband is one of the richest people here. Do you know Yinhai Street? Half of the street there belongs to his family."
Wang Jieling's eyes lit up, and she looked at Luo Yufen enviously. She was pretty good-looking, but because she had just given birth to a child, her figure was still a bit bloated, her clothes were ordinary, and her hair style had not been done much. She looked like noodles in clear soup. She looks very plain. I didn't expect to be able to marry such a rich husband. What a blessing. Do rich people like women who are bare-faced?
