When the phoenix man meets the peacock man

Go to the boss, he has a solution.

——This is the most habitual way of thinking among members of this family over the years. Whenever they encounter a problem that they cannot solve, and the problem is often about money, they will naturally go to the boss Feng Tao, and the problem will be solved.It's not just other members of the family who think so, even Feng Tao himself thinks that everything about the use of money in this big family is related to him, and it's a matter of course.

However, this time his parents came to tell him about buying a house for his younger brother. He realized the seriousness of the situation this time, and it was definitely not something he could take care of.

Let me start by saying that the property rights of this house are not all his. Obviously, it is impossible for him to give it away—not to mention that even if it is all his, he is not sincere enough to give it to him when it is offered to him. It will take a while.

If you can't give it to the house, just use the money to buy one...Unfortunately, he doesn't have so much spare money now.

Yes, although he has worked for many years and is now an expensive boss and CEO, he does not have tens of millions of deposits that can be used at will, not to mention so much, even 10,000+, he has to scrape together something.

why?Because all his money has been invested in the company.

His company has only been in operation for a year, and it is still in the start-up stage. Although relying on Zong Jiyuan's relationship to get a small number of loans from the bank, the working capital is still guaranteed, but he has not given himself a lot of money because of careful calculation. The wages and the income earned have all been invested in reproduction. A while ago, they had undertaken a job as big as Long An, and the funds were even tighter.To be honest, if it weren't for Feng Tao and Zong Yuheng's partnership to save living costs, he might have to tighten his belt and dare not eat or drink.

Simply put, he has no money.

However, his sense of responsibility to the family has made him unable to say these three words directly for a while. Subconsciously, he still has a tendency to consider the financial requirements of his parents, even if he sells iron. However, he stopped after thinking rationally. .Not to mention anything else, this matter is not a parent's matter, isn't it just that the younger sister-in-law who just passed the family wants a house?

He pondered for a while and said: "I personally think that the third child has no rigid demand for the house now. They just live in that house, and no one evicts it."

Feng's father and Feng's mother took Li Dan's words and said, what kind of household registration and children's education.

Feng Tao said: "The child is still in the womb. There is no need to think about going to school so early. The child can wait."

Feng's father sighed, and said: "Well, no one can say what the current house price is. After waiting for a few years, it might be what it will be. If the third daughter-in-law is really in a hurry, your mother and I will I thought about selling the house at home, but it seems that the seller’s old house doesn’t have enough down payment, and there is a loan, and the two of them can’t afford it.”

Feng Tao said: "If you can't afford it, why bother? — To be honest," he paused, "I don't have any spare money on hand, I've invested it all in the company."

When he said this, Feng's father and Feng's mother stopped talking for a while, and after a while of silence, Feng's father lit a cigarette and smoked while saying: "Boss, there are only two of you brothers, and the third child must be the same now." You’re not going to be successful without you. You’re enough for him to eat and drink from the cracks in your fingers. Although he’s married, he still needs you, a brother, to be promoted more.”

Feng Tao added tea to his father, "I know. I will take care of it if I can. But now that my career is still climbing, I am powerless. So let you wait for a few more years, when the company has a scale and is on track. I won't forget my last name or something."

Feng's father knocked on the cigarette ash, nodded as if knocking on his son, and said, "That's right, people can't forget their last name at any time. As the saying goes, if you put the roof tiles on the roof, you can ascend to heaven alone. "

Through this incident, he realized more clearly that he did not have a strong binding force on the elder son, and he only had the identity of patriarchy in his hands, and there was no way to force Feng Tao to do anything other than beating the drums like preaching. , such as taking a sum of money to buy a house.Therefore, the old man couldn't help feeling uneasy and anxious.

Now is not the age of unconditional filial piety. Whether people can spend their old age peacefully in affluence when they get old, or whether it will be more difficult to tuck their tails and carefully strive not to become a burden to their children, depends almost entirely on the awareness of the children themselves, not on the wishes of the elderly themselves. .

You can see that aging is so bad. The master-slave relationship with children is gradually reversed, and gradually loses control over life, loses the right to speak, and does not know when it has become dependent on children to live and leave. They will not be able to live well or even go on.

Chairman Mao has a more thorough view on this issue. He said that the next generation "the world belongs to you and us, but in the final analysis it is still yours"-because time always favors young people, and the front wave is always taken by the back wave. Died on the beach.

Feng Tao finally comforted his parents and said: "I will find time to talk to the young couple about this matter, so don't worry about getting angry."

That's what Feng Tao said, and he did the same.He was very angry, and when he found out Feng Wei, it was a training from the beginning, "What do you think? Force our parents to buy you a house?! How long have you graduated? How much money have you earned? You don't have a penny without you. Buy a P! Or are you just playing with my idea? Let me tell you that all my money is in the company now, and I can't help you at all."

Feng Wei was so scolded that he couldn't lift his head, so he just said awkwardly: "No, it's not what I meant...it was Li Dan's idea, and I also said to buy a house, and I will live if I let you. She doesn't do it. Nao, if parents live together and can't stop it, then you will know... I really didn't mean it."

Feng Tao said: "Whether it's you or not, you married the daughter-in-law, you have to find a way to manage it! If she makes trouble, you just let her make trouble? There is no rule."

Feng Wei said angrily: "What can I do? She has a surname Feng in her stomach now, and I can't beat or scold her, so I can only give way."

Feng Tao can't do anything about this man who coerces the emperor to make the princes, he can't let his younger brother beat his wife, no matter how reasonable a man is, as long as he beats someone, it becomes unreasonable.

Feng Tao finally left a message to tell his younger brother not to worry about the small profit in front of him, and everything will be easy to handle when he has money.

Feng Tao comforted the restless mood of his relatives twice, but there was one person he could not comfort, nor had he confronted him head-on, and that was his pregnant sister-in-law.

Li Dan was very dissatisfied with the bad check he wrote, so he used his mouth to fool anyone who would not take a penny, so he continued to mobilize Feng's father, Feng's mother and Feng Tao.

Mother Feng persuaded her, "You just entered our house, and you don't know your elder brother well. As long as the elder brother says something, it will be a hole in the ground. He keeps his word."

However, Li Dan really couldn't trust Feng Tao, not to mention that she was not a close relative, not to mention that she was not close to her by blood, and she still had some doubts about the quality of a man who messed with men.

But she spoke nicely, touching her increasingly burly belly and said: "Mom, it's not that I can't trust big brother, it's that time waits for no one. Last year, I could buy a house for 60 million yuan, but this year I can only buy half of it. Besides. I don’t know what to give birth to. If it’s a girl, it’s better, and the pressure in life doesn’t have to be so great. If it’s a boy, it’s miserable. In the future, I’ll have a set of splints, and I’ll use it as a cow and a horse to save the wedding house. So I I hope to give birth to a girl, so everyone can rest easy."

These words irritated Father Feng. This child was the first child of his grandchildren. He really hoped to embrace his eldest grandson, but his granddaughter was not far behind.

He spoke succinctly: "It's better to be a kid."

Li Dan said: "It's good, I can't afford it, Feng Wei, do you think you can earn back the money to raise your son?"

Feng Wei said: "Even pigs don't dare to give birth to piglets these days, how easy it is!"

As a result, everyone debated again on the cost of having a boy or girl. Li Dan finally put the topic back on the house now, saying that the house is not for himself, but for the child. If it is a boy, it is Must have a house.

Feng's father finally made a final decision and said: "What the third daughter-in-law said is also reasonable, so let's do it. Well, if you give birth to a boy, our old Feng family will give you a house no matter what we say. We can't treat you badly." There must be a brave man under a heavy reward, so the chances of making a big wish to have a grandson will be the same, regardless of the fact that what is in the stomach has already been decided.

Li Dan was overjoyed, patted his stomach and said, "Did you hear that, baby? Grandpa said he would give you a present. When you grow up, you must be filial to Grandpa."

Only Feng's mother felt that something was wrong, she turned her head and said to Feng's father alone: ​​"If you are a leader, where are you going to get a house?"

Feng's father said: "It is reasonable for the next generation to buy a house for this seedling." He didn't say how to buy it, only that it should be bought.

Mother Feng sighed, knowing in her heart that the old man was still counting on the eldest son for beating.

Another month later, Li Dan went to the hospital and asked the doctor to see if the child had a penis.

When she came back she said happily, "It's a boy! It's a boy!!"

The Feng family was overjoyed, especially Feng's father, who was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. He said it was a good thing, and he wanted to drink two more sips at night.

In the evening, Li Dan raised the issue of the house again at the dinner table, meaning to let Feng's father fulfill his original promise.

Feng's father readily agreed while taking advantage of the excitement.

However, as soon as he sobered up in the middle of the night, he felt a little worried. He had to find a way from his elder son, but he felt that as a parent, he couldn't speak out over and over again. Such words would invisibly weaken his authority. Mother Feng should say it first, and if she can't, she can say it by herself.

Mother Feng was so disturbed that she couldn't sleep, she sat up and sighed sadly, and said, "I'm too embarrassed to talk to the boss. Last time, he said that the money is in the company. If he said there is no money, it means that there is really no money."

Feng's father said: "I also figured it out. The boss of this house won't be needed for a while. If he can't, let him pass it to the third child. If the meat rots in the pot, it will be a debt anyway. If the boss is filial, he should take care of the two of us." Share share."

Mother Feng knew in her heart that this house did not belong to her son, but he couldn't talk about it, otherwise Zong Yuheng's matter would be involved, and it would be a mess.

Across the wall, Feng Wei was also woken up by his wife who woke him up. He scratched his thigh in a daze and muttered: "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

His daughter-in-law pushed him with her elbow and said, "Hey, what do you think your parents want to do?"

Feng Wei turned over, "What should I do? Sleeping is enough for you, it's not enough for you to worry about." He yawned and was about to sleep.

His daughter-in-law muttered to herself: "If you want me to say, if they don't have money, they will definitely go to your brother to find a solution - in fact, I don't think your brother may be as good as this if he gives us more money to buy a house."

That is, this house was originally under the name of Zong Jiyuan. Can the house of a dignified state-owned enterprise leader be worse?Located in the center, the area is considerable, and it is a duplex structure.In fact, it was Li Dan's idea of ​​this house from the very beginning.But she also knew that it was a bit difficult, after all her uncle was not a bully, even if he gave it to the two old ones, it was impossible for her to fall under her name.

She was racking her brains over here, but Feng Wei hadn't slept enough to snore over there.

She patted her husband vigorously, "Heartless, I will live a better life for our family of three, you are fine! ——I ask you, is it possible for your brother to give us this house?"

Feng Wei said impatiently: "Give me what you want! My brother said that he has no money at the moment, please wait."

Li Dan said: "Whoever likes to wait waits. I won't wait—in fact, you said that your brother is so rich and doesn't care about it. It's not beneficial to keep this house. We live in it. He can't collect the rent and he doesn't plan to sell it. , since this is not as good as being generous, I will accept his favor."

Feng Wei hummed twice and was about to fall asleep again.

Li Dan pushed him again, "You said that your brother is also true. He is gay, and he will not be able to have children of his own in the future. Isn't our baby the only heir of your old Feng family? He should treat us better."

Feng Wei was so entangled by her that he couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up and scratched his head annoyedly, and said, "You think the house is crazy! It's not easy to stop during the day and night! My brother's house is dead. Can I still grab it for you?!"

Li Dan is not afraid of him, she has goods in her stomach, it should be the most difficult time in her life to call the wind and rain, and it will be really difficult to handle it if she doesn't get excited at this time, so she is in a hurry to do the big things, she is very rational He said: "What are you robbing? They are all civilized people. Let's discuss with him and reason with him. You see, if I reasoned with your parents, it all made sense in the end. What do you think I said was unreasonable? Which thing is not for the sake of this family? After you earn back, my child and I will have to drink Northwest Wind."

Feng Wei couldn't help but said: "Then you were desperate to marry? Who wants to marry you!"

Li Dan came up immediately, pushed him and said sharply: "What do you want to fight?!"

Feng Wei didn't fight her, and the quarrel in the middle of the night was ugly, so he didn't say anything.

Fortunately, Li Dan didn't want to get angry this time, she murmured a few words in a low voice with great concern for the overall situation, and then said: "I'm telling you the truth, your brother is messing around with men, aren't your parents okay?" Know?"

Feng Wei said, "I probably don't know."

Li Dan said: "I think so, he is too embarrassed to talk about this crap - that's just right, we can't take care of him for nothing, and if your parents find out about him in the future, we have to rely on us to help him." Say something good? Besides, it’s not like he doesn’t have children of his own..."

Feng Wei said: "I'm stupid and you are even more stupid than me. Being uneducated is terrible. My brother has no children for a while, but it doesn't mean that he will never have children."

Li Dan was a little dumbfounded, and said, "What do you mean? Didn't he have a relationship with a man? How can he have children?"

Feng Wei showed a silly expression and said, "My brother is gay for the time being, but it doesn't mean he will be gay forever."

Li Dan choked, originally in her imagination, she had thought that her children would inherit the business wealth of her eldest brother in a few decades, but the result was overturned in an instant.In the end, she had no choice but to spit: "You old Feng's people are really bad!"

The next day, Mother Feng made some more dumplings and called Feng Tao to have a look.

Feng Tao put down his work and came out to meet his mother.

After meeting Feng's mother, she chatted about the daily routine, and Feng Tao ate the dumplings while talking, then wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "Mom, are you busy today?"

Mother Feng said, "Ah... there is something wrong."

Feng Tao began to drink tea and said, "What's the matter, just talk about it."

Mother Feng's face also showed some hesitation, and then she said: "Well, your sister-in-law went to the hospital for a B-ultrasound yesterday, and she will be taken care of when she comes out."

Feng Tao was also very happy when he heard it, "That's great, my dad must be very happy."

Feng's mother said: "What's the fun, I'm so worried." She told me about the promise to give birth to a grandson to the house.

When Feng Tao heard it, his face was solemn and he didn't speak.

Feng's mother also knew that he was not happy, and sighed, "I know it's hard for you, but I don't know what to do right now. Although the third daughter-in-law came in quite suddenly, but since they are all married back, they asked for a house. It's not incomprehensible, who doesn't want to stuff more in their pockets? If they can live a good life, your father and I will fall down with a stone."

Feng Tao said: "Mom, I've said it all. It's not that I don't want to take the money. I didn't think about refusing to talk about family matters, but I also said it last time. I really don't have any money. I can't wait two years for me to have more money." ?”

Mother Feng said: "I know you don't have any money, what your dad means... can the suite we live in be... just put it up first?"

When Feng Tao heard it, his expression was really bad, he was even a little embarrassed, and he remained silent for a long time.

Mother Feng said: "I know this house is not yours alone, so it's not easy to manage. This is what your father meant, I didn't think so... But I don't know how to say yes to him."

Feng Tao sighed and said, "Mom, don't think about this house, it's not only me and Mr. Zong that are listed on the house certificate, but also other people are involved..."

Mother Feng was greatly surprised, "What? There are others?"

Feng Tao said: "This house was actually given to both of us by Mr. Zong's father, Mr. Zong. If I give it to you, I have to tell them, what do they think of us?——There are many things in it, It's not easy for your son to eat under his hands, so why don't you wait for me to gain a firm foothold before talking about anything else?"

What Feng's mother can say is that she doesn't know how to tell Feng's father about this matter.

Feng Tao said: "Don't say anything, just say that I don't agree to give it."

Feng's mother said: "Then he is very old. Besides, there is no way to explain to the third wife."

Feng Tao's head was getting bigger, and he couldn't help knocking the teacup on the table, saying: "Then let her live as long as she can, but not Li!"

Mother Feng fell silent.

Feng Tao felt guilty again, and his heart softened, and he agreed to find a solution slowly.

He said he wanted to find a way, but what could he do in a while?If there is no money, the house cannot be moved. Do you want to ask Zong Yuheng? ...this may be the last way.Although he didn't want to do it at all.

After get off work, he trudged to the house where he lived with Zong Yuheng and worked hard to cook.

During the meal, Zong Yuheng asked: "What's on your mind today?"

Feng Tao said, "So obvious?"

Zong Yuheng looked at him and said, "You take longer to eat a bowl of rice than I do, poking rice one by one, and sighing all the time. I'd be blind if I didn't find out."

Feng Tao put down the bowl formally and said: "You also know that my family is burdened, and the whole family is waiting for me to come to Laba."

Zong Yuheng nodded in agreement while eating, "Your family is hard enough for you... The beans are doing well today."

Feng Tao said: "Eat more if it tastes good. Now is the time of the season. Before, I felt that the family struggled together and shared blessings and difficulties. I haven't felt tired yet. But since my younger brother got married, I I feel that things are complicated. It seems that what I am carrying is not a family, but a family, not as simple as adding a pair of chopsticks and adding a person."

Zong Yuheng said: "You just talk about what is difficult, so that you, who are so capable, can't eat without sighing."

Feng Tao told the story about his sister-in-law arguing for a house.

Then he said with a little dismay: "I'm really forced to be one and two big now. They all think that I have money, but you don't know very well about my little money. It's not enough to support the whole business. Now my parents start I think it’s not filial if I don’t take out my money. Thinking about it makes me sad.”

Zong Yuheng was full, drank some green plum wine, rinsed his mouth, and licked his lips with his tongue, as if cleaning up, and said: "I thought it was a matter of money that I couldn't fight. Yes, you can take it and buy them a house. Don’t give it to the joint name of the two of us, it’s not because I’m reluctant, it’s a gift from my father, and it’s for commemoration.”

Zong Yuheng said something that forced Feng Tao into a corner so easily that Feng Tao couldn't believe it. After thinking about it later, he immediately figured it out.

It is true that this matter is a trivial matter to Zong Yuheng, and that little money is not considered big money. He has never been short of money, never experienced the preciousness of money, and never seen the ugliness of money. - No concept of money is one of his few good qualities.

Before Feng Tao never thought of making use of his advantage to make some money, but now he can't help but thank Qi Zong Jiyuan for protecting his son so well.Money was just numbers to the kid.

Feng Tao said gratefully and restrainedly: "If it's convenient, lend it to me temporarily, and I will pay you back when the company makes money."

Zong Yuheng said: "Why are you being polite to me? If you don't return it, treat it as a gift from me to your family." He smiled.

Feng Tao was still a little hesitant.

Zong Yuheng spoke again, and he said, "I only have one condition - don't you think it's time to introduce our relationship to your father? I mean come out completely."
