Return To 1998

Feng Qinghua was suddenly pregnant, and about her and Ge Lianghua's marriage, several people at the table chatted for more than half an hour.

Everyone chatted and laughed, and then asked about their wedding date, then asked Ge Lianghua how he was about to become a father, and then talked about how they were going to get married? Are you planning to go home and build a house? and many more.

When it comes to such a happy event, everyone is in good spirits. You say a few words, I say a few words, and the topic feels like an endless chat.

Seeing that this lunch is almost finished, Xu Tongdao still can't find the opportunity to raise money.

At first he was a little depressed.

But slowly, with the passage of time, Xu Tongdao also thought about it, and he was not in a hurry.

He thought: Ge Liangcai opened a dog meat restaurant this year. Before and after, it was estimated that there would be 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in it. Now that Ge Lianghua is going to get married again at the end of the year, the economic situation of the brothers’ family should be relatively tight this year, so this time they raised money. , the brothers should not be able to help him.

In that case, let's not mention the topic of money today.

He dismissed the idea of ​​raising money with these two cousins ​​in his mind.

but……

When lunch was almost ready, Ge Liangcai suddenly remembered this, cast his eyes over him, and asked with a smile, Hey, that's right, Xiaodao! Don't you have something to discuss with us today? What's the matter? Tell me!

His words reminded others.

Ge Lianghua: Yeah, I almost forgot about it.

Feng Qinghua looked at Xu Tongdao curiously, You even called me here. Is it something related to me? Come on and listen!

Xu Tonglin: Xiaodao, is it related to me? Hehe.

Only Xi Dongyang remained silent, but also looked at Xu Tongdao.

Tongdao Xu shook his head, Forget it, I originally wanted to discuss something with you, but since you are pregnant now, sister-in-law, and you are going to get married by the end of the year, then forget it! Don't talk about it!

He really didn't want to talk.

But the curiosity of several people present was hooked by his words.

One or two urged him to speak quickly.

Tongdao Xu couldn't bear the urging of all of them, so he had no choice but to smile helplessly, and briefly told them what he wanted to say.

It's really nothing,

That is, I want to open another Internet cafe, but I don't have much funds. I originally wanted to ask you to help me find a way, such as lending me some money, or finding a way to help me get some money from outside, or you yourself Take the money and invest in shares. But now that you are pregnant, sister-in-law, and you are going to get married at the end of the year, Liangcai cousin, your dog meat restaurant is not doing well right now, and you may have to lend money to Rooster to get married, so let's forget it! I'll think of another way.

Packed money, in the local is the money with interest.

Borrowing money is generally called taking money, while lending money to others is generally called putting money.

As for why he was called this, Tongdao Xu didn't know, anyway, since he can remember, they have been called this way.

Ah? Your Internet cafe has only opened for a few days. Do you want to open another one?

Xu Tonglin was surprised.

Others reacted similarly.

Ge Lianghua: Xiaodao! Tell us honestly, is there something wrong with your current Internet cafe? Need money for emergency help?

Ge Liangcai frowned, Yeah! Xiaodao, if you have any difficulties, just tell us directly, don't make up any lies to deceive us, there are no outsiders here, if you can help, we will definitely find a way to help you.

Feng Qinghua looked at Tongdao Xu, then at Ge Lianghua and Ge Liangcai, nodded slightly, and agreed: Yes, if you really encounter difficulties, just tell us the truth.

Xu Tongdao: ...

Xu Tongdao was a little speechless for a while.

However, thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem that they are so suspicious. After all, according to common sense, he has just opened an Internet cafe, and it has only been open for a few days. There is really no reason to raise money to open a second Internet cafe.

Very few people do this business.

For example, Zhang San just opened a small restaurant a few days ago, and he went to tell relatives and friends that he wanted to borrow money to open a small restaurant. What did the relatives and friends think?

No! The business of my current Internet cafe is very good. If you don't believe me, I will take you to see it later. It is because the business is very good, so I want to open another one as soon as possible, so you don't have to worry! If it doesn't work, When I look back and wait until I have enough money, I will have time to open a second home.

Because he had given up the idea of ​​raising money with them, Tongdao Xu did not try to prove that his financial situation was fine at this time.

However, he underestimated how much these relatives and friends cared about him.

He is not interested in trying to prove that he is financially sound.

They were worried that something was wrong with his financial situation.

You say a word, and I keep asking endless questions.

Tongdao Xu smiled bitterly when asked, and regretted telling them about it today.

He didn't explain anything.

In the end, Ge Liang made a final decision. He made a proposal, which was unanimously approved by the others.

His proposal was that tomorrow morning, he, Ge Lianghua and Tongdao Xu would go to the city together, and the brothers would go to the Internet cafe opened by Tongdao Xu to check on the spot.

Xu Tongdao smiled bitterly in his heart.

But no objection.

If they want to see it, take them there!

Anyway, the business of his Internet cafe has been getting better every day in the past few days, and he has nothing to fear from them.

...

That night, Tongdao Xu helped out in the store.

The next morning, not long after he got up, Ge Liangcai and Ge Lianghua came to him. The two brothers took care of themselves today and dressed a lot more than usual.

Seeing that they were so active, Xu Tongdao didn't say anything nonsense.

After simply eating some noodles, he grabbed the keys and wallet, led the two of them into his van, and drove to the city.

Along the way, the brothers also did the ideological work of Xu Tongdao from time to time.

The purpose of talking with Tongdao Xu earnestly and earnestly is obvious - they hope that Tongdao Xu can be frank and lenient, and honestly explain what happened to his Internet cafe. How much money do you owe out there?

The helplessness in Tongdao Xu's heart... Forget it.

When he came back to raise money this time, all he thought about was how to raise money, who could possibly raise the money, and where was the second Internet cafe? Roughly how many computers to buy... wait, those things.

Because of his negligence, he didn't even think about the outcome.

On the way to the city by car, listening to the sermons of the two brothers, Tang Seng, like chanting sutras, he felt that his head was getting bigger.

I also finally understood why Monkey King, who was talked about endlessly by Tang Seng in Journey to the West, wanted to kill Tang Seng with a stick.

With a big head, he subconsciously increased the speed of the car.

When he arrived at the Ximendao Internet Cafe, Tongdao Xu checked the time on his watch. The time he drove today was ten minutes less than the last time.
