The Spring of Prince Syndrome

For several days in a row, the TV was full of reports about the Wenchuan Earthquake. A week later, there was a national funeral, all web pages turned gray and black, and games and music providers all suspended their services.

He felt that the relationship between Tan Ruikang and Li Jing had undergone subtle changes. Tan Ruikang didn't bring Li Jing anything when he went home, and the two seemed to quarrel occasionally.

Yuanyuan didn't have internet access, so he could only sit at home and read a book. Tan Ruikang was a little tired when he came back, Yuanyuan said: "What's the matter? Don't keep arguing, I'm in a bad mood and say it."

Yuanyuan looked at Tan Ruikang expectantly, and Tan Ruikang said: "Li Jing... had a boyfriend before."

Yuanyuan said: "I thought it was a big deal."

Tan Ruikang said: "It's not the first time for her."

Yuanyuan said: "Fuck, what is this! Virginity complex! It's because of this, so you have to treat her well, you think, she was hurt by other men before, how can you care about this?"

Tan Ruikang suddenly understood something, nodded and said: "I see, brother, you are right."

Yuanyuan smiled and said nothing.

But Tan Ruikang still quarreled with Li Jing, sometimes over trivial matters, Li Jing couldn't bear it, and complained to Yuanyuan.

"Your brother." Li Jing said, "He kept snoring in the middle of the night, making it so noisy that he couldn't sleep."

Yuanyuan smiled and said: "He didn't know it before, maybe it's just that he's too tired recently, you can stew some gastrodia elata for him and see if it can relieve him."

"I don't know how to cook your Cantonese soup." Li Jing said, "Let's learn."

After a few days, Li Jing said again: "Brother, tell me about your brother when you have time."

Yuanyuan said: "What happened to him?"

Li Jing said: "I didn't go home after nine o'clock in the evening, and I didn't say a word, and I didn't answer the phone..."

Yuan Yuan remembered that Lin Zibo had confirmed his relationship with a girl last night, and invited them to the seaside barbecue together, and called Li Jing to ask if Li Jing had eaten.

Li Jing: "...It was not easy to get through, and all the girls around me were laughing."

Yuan Yuan said: "It's a social event. If he didn't answer it, it should be drinking. When he is drinking, his secretary will pick him up in a car. You can just call his secretary. It's common for entertainment. He wants to ask for a loan and have dinner with the bank manager. I Knowing who that woman is is just for entertainment, sister-in-law, don't worry about it."

Li Jing said: "Why are people in business like this, do they often ask for foot washing and massage..."

Yuan Yuan turned his pen to the book and said, "Yes, but my brother will never go whoring. Don't worry, men all over the world will cheat if they have money, and he will never cheat."

Li Jing said: "I didn't say he was a prostitute, but he didn't go home all the time. He got up at seven in the morning and left, and didn't come back until eleven or twelve in the evening. I didn't find out before. Why is he always like this."

Yuanyuan smiled and said: "My dad used to be like this, just get used to it, and my brother has only been socializing for three days this week, so he probably comes back for dinner at other times."

Li Jing said: "There were a lot of phone calls after dinner. When I told him he was making money, he listened to you. Tell me about him."

Yuanyuan said: "Oh, don't be angry."

A few days later, Yuanyuan heard them arguing again.

Li Jing opened the door and said, "Brother, sister-in-law asked you..."

"Don't get involved with him!" Tan Ruikang said, "Tell me what's going on."

Yuanyuan frowned slightly, and said, "What's the matter? It's okay, just tell me."

Tan Ruikang said: "It's okay, just ignore her."

Li Jing said: "Why can't you say it again?"

Yuan Yuan: "Say it! What's the problem?"

Tan Ruikang signaled Li Jing to go back to the room, Li Jing said: "Tan Ruikang!"

Tan Ruikang said: "Are you going back?"

Li Jing went back to the room with a dark face.

Tan Ruikang sat on the sofa smoking a cigarette, Yuanyuan ignored him, and continued to read. After a long time, Tan Ruikang said, "What book are you reading?"

"Jimmy's "Turn Left, Turn Right"." Yaoyuan said, "What's the noise this time?"

Tan Ruikang said: "Her brother graduated this year and is going to Shenzhen to find a job. He wants to find a place to live first."

Yuan Yuan felt a headache when he heard it, and said: "Brother? Rent a house for him to live in. Our family is small, so let's entertain him at home after changing your wedding room."

Tan Ruikang said: "Brother thinks the same way, and she still asks if he can let his brother come to help in the company..."

Yuan Yuan could almost guess all the causes and consequences, and he said, "Where is sister-in-law, won't she find a job by herself?"

Tan Ruikang didn't say anything, and said far away: "You don't want to let his brother join our company, do you? Since you want to support others, you should do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, the packaging that should be packaged, the one that should be spent, and the one that should be spent. He looks like he will support her for the rest of his life, but he is also reluctant to spend money on her."

"Let me tell you the truth, brother, our family is not rich at all compared to those big bosses. The group of real estate developers are all worth hundreds of millions, and all the cars parked in our new housing complex are good. Those who drive Rolls-Royce, look at us, how much is the total? Not to the extent of ostentation."

Tan Ruikang hummed and said, "I want to find a university for her to study after she gets married, start school in September, and then hire a nanny to cook for you."

Yuanyuan said: "Well, after reading it, it's okay to find a more leisurely job for her. Brother, we don't have money, we don't have much money, and a few million net worth is really nothing to worry about. Don't act like a big boss." Don't show off to others. I know you think you earn a lot, so you just act like a big man in front of her, don't you? Don't do that, it's boring. "

"Understood." Tan Ruikang said.

Yuan Yuan: "Do you really know?"

Tan Ruikang nodded, obediently being scolded like a child, and finally asked: "Do you want her brother to come?"

Yao Yuan thought about it, recruiting Li Jing's younger brother is not a serious matter, she may not just want to carve up something, anyway, it's her own younger brother, it's normal to come to help Tan Ruikang with work.

If you can't support the wall, just arrange a casual job and pay him a salary every month, and it won't cost much.

"Let him show his resume to me first." Yuan Yuan said.

Graduated from a vocational high school...Yuan Yuan has a headache when she looks at it, and she can't say it in front of her. Yuan Yuan is used to being the boss, so she is afraid that if she says the wrong thing, she will be misunderstood as looking down on her.

He thought for a long time, and asked Tan Ruikang: "Is it okay to let his brother go to practice again? Let's pay for it."

Tan Ruikang thought for a while, went to discuss with Li Jing, and finally gave the answer that her brother didn't want to study anymore, and it wasn't material for him to study.

Li Jing's younger brother is still learning FLASH in a vocational high school, so he probably wasted his time playing games. After watching it from a distance, he felt that it was useless to come to his company. Since he likes playing games, let him learn some game production and planning. It also happened to be in line with his interests, so he called You Zeyang at two o'clock in the middle of the night.

"Who—" You Zeyang was called out in the middle of the night.

Yuan Yuan: "Repay the money."

You Zeyang ghost shouted: "No! It's all set!"

Yuan Yuan: "Aren't you going to pay back the money?"

"Would you like money, or your life—" You Zeyang said, "You killed me—"

Yuanyuan: "It's okay if you don't pay back the money. Ask your HR to help Tan Ruikang's brother-in-law find a job, a vocational high school."

You Zeyang: "How do you know that I'm the boss—Did Gu Xiaoting tell you? You're killing me by putting me in a vocational school! We're all recruiting from Tsinghua University and Peking University now, sir, please spare me, don't look for me in the middle of the night Can I have fun?"

Yuanyuan: "You are the boss? That's great, I'll leave it to you. Are you chasing my sister? Be careful and Ma Ji and I will go talk to my sister, and you will lose money and life. There are a bunch of kings and old wives looking for wives, there are British returnees, and there are undergraduates and masters..."

You Zeyang: "Don't! Don't! Your sister! Okay, okay, let him send his resume to my mailbox tomorrow, and I'll help you ask, don't call again, Dad! I've been working overtime for almost 48 hours ..."

Yaoyuan hung up the phone, and after a few days sent his resume, You Zeyang agreed to recruit him to his department for a test. After that, Yuanyuan asked Tan Ruikang to tell Li Jing, don't say he was looking for it, just treat it as Tan Ruikang's help. solved.

A few days later, Tan Ruikang was in a cold war with Li Jing again, Yuanyuan was going to be driven crazy, he just thought that since he was going to get married, he couldn't let her rent a house outside, and Tan Ruikang lived in his own home, it was unreasonable, and it was not fair to other girls , but they started quarreling as soon as the love period was over, as if it was an eternal truth. He knew that they must like each other to quarrel, but he still found it annoying.

"Are you still married?" Yuan Yuan said, "I want to break up and talk about it as soon as possible. I have to send someone to clean up the house. Why are you arguing this time?!"

Tan Ruikang sighed, did not speak, nodded after a while and said: "I will solve it myself."

The next day Tan Ruikang went to work, Li Jing was watching TV in the living room, came out far away, and said, "Sister-in-law, is there anything to eat?"

Li Jing said: "No, I'll cook for you, and neither of you brothers like the food I cook..."

Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "How come, the food you cook is much more delicious than mine." Xin Dao even knew this, he was really picky about his meals, when Zhao Guogang was here, he only ate the food cooked by his father , even Tan Ruikang's craftsmanship was disliked, and later Tan Ruikang learned to cook Cantonese cuisine, so he reluctantly ate Tan Ruikang's, and the eating habits didn't matter.

Li Jing's food tastes even weirder than Tan Ruikang's, and she is often lazy when preparing the ingredients. Yuan Yuan basically just eats a symbolic meal and doesn't move his chopsticks.

When Tan Ruikang first fell in love with Li Jing, he was supported by love, and Tan Ruikang ate all the meals Li Jing brought him.

Now everyone doesn't often cook and eat, and occasionally sit at a table, Li Jing's cooking style Yuanyuan doesn't like it, Tan Ruikang also finds that he doesn't like it, and finally Tan Ruikang cooks by himself, Yuanyuan waits for food.

Li Jing cooked a few times and knew that her food was not good, so she didn't bother to cook.

Li Jing: "Your brother said that the diamond ring is ready for 20 cents."

Yuanyuan: "It's too young, isn't it, you guys were arguing about this yesterday?"

Li Jing said slowly in the kitchen: "No, I really like it, the style is very unique."

Yuanyuan didn't say that the diamond ring was Tan Ruikang's birthday present. He knew that Li Jing thought it was too small, so he said, "You let him buy a Darry Ring, let's buy a one-carat one. Every man can only buy one in his lifetime. Personal information is It is connected to the global network, and once you buy it, you will never be able to buy another diamond ring from it.”

Li Jing said: "You still know this. You are the young master of a rich family. Compared with you, your brother is a bumpkin."

Yuan Yuan frowned and said, "Don't say that, he is making money to support us."

Li Jing smiled awkwardly, but said nothing.

Yuanyuan realized that the sentence just now was a bit heavy, and was thinking about how to change the subject, Li Jing sighed again and said, "I'll look for a job in a few days."

Yaoyuan said: "Sister-in-law, do you want to start a business? You can also open a Taobao store at home. You can go to Taobao Mall to register and specialize in the business of petty bourgeoisie. Spend a little money to brush up to five diamonds, and the money will come quickly."

Li Jing said, "I have no money, so I'm not like you."

distant:"……"

The meaning of Yuanyuan's words is obviously to help her pay for her and find something for her to do. Now she feels that she can't communicate at all. As long as she nods, Yuanyuan will arrange for her, and finally came this sentence.

He thought to himself what happened to this girl?What does Tan Ruikang like about her?Forget it, let them do whatever they want.

Why do we live together in the future? How can we live together in this way?Yuanyuan had no intention of moving in to live with them from the very beginning, so he asked Tan Ruikang to reserve a room. Anyway, he was going abroad soon, and everyone settled down and lived their lives in peace.

Tan Ruikang came back early that day, and discussed with Li Jing about the wedding. The wedding is less than two months away. The wedding is a grand battle. You need to send invitations, look at the venue, find a wedding company, and hire a car team.

What Tan Ruikang meant was to charter a bus, go back to Li Jing's hometown, pick up relatives for a drink, find a hotel for them to stay for one night, and send them off the next day. I talked for a long time, and it was a bit annoying.

There is a huge project involved in holding a wedding, and basically everyone is involved. Li Jing wants to invite this and that, and talks a lot. For three full days.Annoyed as hell.

Yuan Yuan didn't want to care about it all the time, but he couldn't stand it anymore. He took the materials and threw them on the table, saying, "Let me do it."

Tan Ruikang said: "I have memorized everything on the list, and your sister-in-law will add it temporarily."

Yaoyuan said: "Print a thousand invitations, and give five hundred to her. Let her discuss with her parents who the woman's family wants to invite. Just give you the final list. Let the hotel prepare five more tables. Don't rush if there are too many guests. If you don’t have enough, share these dishes and serve them on other tables. Anyway, there is no shortage of money.”

Tan Ruikang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, you are still smart."

Yuanyuan said: "Looking at your posture, you need to set up at least fifty tables. On our man's side, junior high school classmates and high school classmates can just invite them. Don't notify college classmates who are in other provinces. Gu Xiaoting and the others are close. If you want to come, just come." Come on. There are many old people in my hometown. The old men and women are all elders. Don’t let people run around. Eat as much as you want, and go to worship the ancestors and visit the tombs."

Tan Ruikang said: "That's great, I'm having a headache what to do with my hometown. People here are too embarrassed to hand over posts to receive red envelopes. We are not the ones who want to make money this time. We spend all the money on wine, weddings, etc. Let's go out. Besides, these have to be returned, and I don't have so much time to eat one by one, or we can just write red envelopes and forget it."

Yuanyuan said: "Go and discuss with your wife first."

Tan Ruikang said: "I don't care about her, the woman's red envelopes are registered, and I will take them back to her after collecting them. How about giving them to her parents?"

Yuanyuan said: "It's okay, let's add tens of thousands to her parents together, and let her parents pay back the favor by themselves when others invite her to drink."

Tan Ruikang: "Well, I thought about it for a while. Why don't we register at all, take a plate to receive the red envelopes, and don't remember how much you give. In the future, if you have a meaningful relationship, you will go to eat and invite them, and then give them according to favors."

Yuan Yuan said: "If you do this, why not write on the wedding invitation that the red envelopes are only [-] yuan, as a good sign for a couple. Send someone there to collect the red envelopes, open them on the spot, and give them the extra money." .”

Tan Ruikang laughed loudly and said, "This is good, this is great."

After Li Jing came out from the phone and heard it, her face immediately darkened, and she asked, "Only accept a red envelope of 20 yuan? Is this the rule here?"

Tan Ruikang said: "Our side is, your natal family can take as much as you want. When the time comes, leave it to your parents and let them control it."

Li Jing said: "Isn't the red envelope for us?"

Tan Ruikang waved his hand and said, "If you don't need those, just tell them."

Yuanyuan is very satisfied, this way there is no need to trouble, and in the future, he will not have to go everywhere to be bombed. The money matter is easy to talk about. It is really not that hard to go to eat all the time. It is exhausting. Besides, Tan Ruikang's interpersonal relationship is largely between him and Zhao Guogang Well, after Tan Ruikang placed the wine and collected the money, people would only know him, Zhao Yuanyuan, and he didn't want to make amends just because he got married alone.

Yuan Yuan said, "Well, it will save a lot of trouble."

Yuanyuan didn’t dare to let Zhao Guogang go to help contact the wedding. The weather was so hot that Tan Ruikang and Li Jing kept running and quarreling, both of them were annoyed to death. , It turned out that it didn't, and it still survived.

Qi Huiyu brought his girlfriend back to China and is currently working in Hong Kong. Yuan Yuan was startled when he heard the news. Tan Ruikang didn't know anything and handed him an invitation.

Qi Huiyu wanted to ask Yuanyuan out for dinner, but Yuanyuan really didn't have time, so he asked him to talk about it after the wedding.

On July [-]th, eighteen days before the opening of the Olympic Games, Tan Ruikang and Li Jing were planning to get married in a local hotel.

Yuanyuan and Tan Ruikang were all arranging the wedding. Yuanyuan was about to get tired. He slept for three hours the night before, and was called to confirm the process again, saying that the woman had revised it again. After getting up and confirming, he continued to fall asleep.

Tan Ruikang lived in his small room, and Li Jing went to stay in a hotel with her parents, preparing to pick up the bride tomorrow morning.

The night before Tan Ruikang got married, Yao Yuan was in a daze in his room.

"Brother, what are you doing." Tan Ruikang said, "I have something I want to talk to you about."

Yuan Yuan took a document and came out and said, "Brother, I have something to talk to you about."

Yuan Yuan came out and sat at the dining table, the lamp on the dining room exuded a warm yellow light, shining between them, the world was dark, only such a small warm area.

Tan Ruikang's eyebrows and hair were covered with warm light, and he bowed his head and said, "Brother, brother is getting married tomorrow. I have a few words from my heart that I want to say to you."

Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Brothers are for a lifetime."

"Yes." Tan Ruikang said: "That's what you said...but I still want to say it."

"Ever since I came to the house, you have never disliked me. You have treated me as your own brother. If you have a share of anything, you will give it to my brother. It is not so much that my uncle treats me well. It is better to say that you treat me well. My uncle gave it to me. It's money, what you gave me is a home."

"My parents left early, and my grandparents don't like me. Having a younger brother like you is the greatest blessing in my life."

Tan Ruikang's eyes turned red as he spoke, and said: "Brother, I heard last time that other people's brothers would quarrel. You see, we have never been rough or blushed for so many years. My brother is sick. , and you also cured it..."

Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "Don't mention that matter, it's your fate to get well."

Tan Ruikang nodded and said, "Others say that no matter how good a brother is, he's nothing more than that. Take a look at this."

He spread out the document for Yuan Yuan to read.

"You sign this document first." Tan Ruikang said: "Because this is a company we have worked hard for, half of which is yours, so make the agreement first. This is what my uncle meant. After thinking about it, he said Quite right."

"Marrying a wife is the best way to live a lifetime. I'm afraid that there will be some financial disputes with your sister-in-law in the future. You understand what I mean. It's not about separating the family. It's about writing clearly first and writing your name. I still run the company for you, and you have as much money as you want, and no one else has the right to control it."

Yuanyuan suddenly remembered this time six years ago, it was also July, and it was also a summer night.

He had just finished the college entrance examination that year, and it was the happiest time in his life. Zhao Guogang called him to the dining table, took out the documents, and asked him to sign.

Yuanyuan said: "I was also going to say this."

He took out a document and said, "You're right, brother, but I want you to sign this document, and this company will give it to you in the future as your wedding gift. You have taken care of me for so many years, elder brother Father, you have always been my role model, without you, I would not know where I have fallen since high school, I have nothing to repay you, only money, this is my heart, please don't dislike it."

"Also, brother, I lied to you when I said I was cured. I still love you. But I don't plan to live with you anymore." Yuan Yuan said with a smile: "Don't take any responsibility for this. Guilty, live your life well, this is still your home. You think of me, just go home and visit me occasionally, I don't mind."

Tan Ruikang was silent for a while, looking at the distance, couldn't help crying.

"No, Xiaoyuan." Tan Ruikang cried and said, "Why didn't you say it? Why didn't you say it then?!"

Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Don't be like this, don't cry...you... hey."

This is what he remembered seeing Tan Ruikang crying so exaggeratedly, crying like a child, stupid and funny, with snot coming out, Tan Ruikang cried in disbelief, as if he had lost something.

"Sign the document." Yuan Yuan pressed the pen into his hand.

Tan Ruikang roared angrily and painfully: "I won't sign—!"

Yuanyuan said: "Then wait until you calm down."

Yuanyuan went to the sofa to watch TV by himself. Tan Ruikang cried for a while, calmed down, and Yuanyuan said: "It's useless if you don't sign it. I just need to sign a contract to give up all property and give it to you for free. Hurry up." sign, so that I don't have to run around again, I'm exhausted."

Tan Ruikang said: "Brother can't bear you, why don't you say it?! Why don't you say it!"

Yuanyuan said: "Brother, there are not so many perfect things in the world. Really, if you want this, you have to learn to let go of that. Live your own life well, it is better than anything else, don't be like my dad. Stubborn, selfish and cruel, one-size-fits-all, no one can do what other people want to do, but as long as I don’t want to, I will never cooperate. There is no reason why no one can’t live without the other, so let’s go our own way , I sincerely wish you happiness."

Tan Ruikang was full of tears, sitting at the dining table trembling, his eyes were terribly red.

"Start tomorrow." Yuan Yuan said, "I'm not the Zhao Yuanyuan who likes my brother anymore, I'm just your younger brother, just like you told me before, don't treat you as the one I love, just as your brother, Divided into my favorite Tan Ruikang and my Gotham Ruikang."

"You have to learn to look at me like this now, divide me into Xiaoyuan who likes you, and your younger brother Xiaoyuan. We have to get used to each other, take your time, everything will be adjusted. If you miss me, come back and see me , you have a wife with you, she is very dependent on you, you won’t miss me often. Your brother Xiaoyuan promised to live with you, but Xiaoyuan who likes you can’t live with you because you have a wife.”

Tan Ruikang yelled in pain, shaking from crying.

Looking at Tan Ruikang's appearance from a distance, he couldn't bear it, he said: "Remember to sign the documents, don't sleep too late, we have to get married tomorrow."

As he entered the room, he let out a long and exhausted breath, and locked the door with his backhand, feeling almost perverted and self-harming.I wonder if you are thinking now that I don't want money, I just want you?It's a pity that it's impossible. After passing this village, there will be no such shop. Let's all get married and get out of here.
