I'm just sorry for plagiarism

"Are there so many?" Father Xia squinted his eyes, and cast them over with some scrutiny.

When paying the bills before, the account that the third brother of the Xia family gave to West Street was only about [-] yuan, which is far from the number that Xia Dahai popped out of his mouth today.

The tricky old Xia can also guess it. It is estimated that Xiaotao lowered the account on the account because of his connection in West Street. On the other hand, if you come to 88th Street to decorate the house, you will be more or less supported with some subsidies.

Again, the Yecheng people are not saints, and every store will have such a group of tricks more or less. It is allowed to exist, but it must not be too much.

And the number in his mouth right now is indeed a bit too much, a gap of more than 60, it would be outrageous to put it there.

Fortunately, Xiaotao's boss is his second brother. If the big boss on West Street listens to him, he probably won't be able to open this store again.

Daddy Xia sighed. As the saying goes, brothers and sisters settle accounts clearly. I heard this clearly today. Naturally, I can't pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend nothing happened. It is impossible to report it, but I should start As well as a series of subsequent policy support, it will be left alone at that time.

"Don't, don't, second brother, this, it's all a misunderstanding." The uncle didn't want to meddle in other people's business at the moment, his face turned green, and he hurriedly dragged Lao Xia to ask for forgiveness.

To be honest, he was quite wronged. Originally, the elder brother who didn't see Jianer was doing the trouble, but he didn't expect that the disaster would be brought to his head.

"It's hard for me to deal with you like this." Lao Xia clicked his tongue. To be honest, this kind of feeling of killing relatives is really unpleasant: "I have a question now, is the bill on the account true?"

The eldest lady's hand that was eating the chicken drumstick also stopped at this moment, and her head got dizzy for a while.

At first I thought it was just a trivial matter, but I didn't expect to catch such a big fish.

"It's fake! It's all fake! It's nothing to do with me if someone spreads it outside." The uncle hurriedly came out to argue, his face turning green and pale, obviously frightened.

"I said, second brother, don't be jealous. We can't envy the money that Xiaotao makes with his own ability." Unexpectedly, Xia Dahai didn't understand what happened, and shouted loudly, "You want Do you want to make money like Xiaotao? Then you should open a restaurant yourself."

"Is this really the case?" However, the old man snorted and didn't answer, and looked at Xiao Tao up and down with unclear eyes.

"But I also want to talk about you, Xiaotao." Xia Dahai also seemed to recall something, and reprimanded him with a parental attitude, "I had this personality when I was young, and I didn't dare to admit my success. Look at you, You showed me the account back then, do you remember what was written on it? The monthly turnover is 97! Why don’t you dare admit it now? Be confident, there are no outsiders here!”

"This...isn't...that...it's a fake account, it's uncountable!" The uncle was about to cry, talking nonsense.

"It's a fake account, it's all gaudy and messy." However, Xia Dahai didn't seem to believe this at all, and skillfully took out a few bottles of Wuliangye from the sack, and the expensive and gorgeous packaging box was placed on the table with a plop, "Here, Xiaotao, these are all for you, so I will take care of your brother's affairs."

"Don't, don't, I beg you, take it away... I really beg you!" The uncle was about to be frightened to the point of insanity, accepting bribes in front of the leader, this is considered revenge what! ?

"Why, it's not good enough to be disgusted?" Unexpectedly, the eldest uncle was stunned, thinking that the things were not satisfactory, scratched his head, but began to mutter to himself with some self-blame, "That's right. When you gave it as a gift, it was still a few bottles of Moutai, these Wuliangye, I guess they are really worthless in your eyes."

The purpose of saying this is actually a little bit of showing off, and it is probably to make Xiaotao look good. After all, so many family members and relatives are watching, if it is another family, the power of such a sentence is indeed full of weight.

Unfortunately, the Xia family is not another family.

As soon as the words fell, the uncle's face turned completely pale.

And Lao Xia stroked his beard in the air meaningfully, and smiled, without saying a word, "So, that's how it is."

"Enough!" Just when my elder brother was still wanting to flatter and reveal more exciting black history, the eldest uncle finally couldn't help it, and stood up from the table.

"What's the matter?" The eldest brother was taken aback, but he still didn't understand what was going on. Why did his third brother's face turn red like a pig's liver after such a hard pat?

"Brother, don't be my brother, can you be my ancestor?!" However, the uncle was so angry that he lost his mind, and opened his mouth to swear nonsense: "I was really hurt by you! ! Ancestors!"

"What's going on? What happened?" Xia Dahai was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up to comfort his brother, but Xia Xiaotao grabbed his arm violently and pulled him aside: "Come here, I'll tell you !"

Chapter 41, Chapter 40

At first, they just thought they would chat casually, but as soon as the two of them went to the balcony to smoke, they smoked for more than half an hour.

During the dinner, the youngest Xia Xiaotao described every detail that their old Xia's family knew.

The boss listened with disdain at first, but in the end, his eyes just got bigger and bigger.

So much so that I forgot to smoke.

After the conversation was over, Uncle Xia Xiaotao patted his elder brother on the shoulder resentfully, "I was hurt by you!"

The boss, Xia Dahai, swallowed his saliva, and carefully looked into the room.

After a long time, he questioned in disbelief: "Third brother, are you sure you're not joking?"

"Why am I joking with you?" The third child rolled his eyes violently, "It's you, brother, why do you dare to say anything? This time, you really hurt me."

"This is too coincidental." The boss still looked unbelievable.

It's really too coincidental. You don't have such an idea when you write a novel, right?The second child, who usually doesn't look like a mountain or leaks water, and even has a lot of rustic and outdated atmosphere, can get along so well without making a sound?And it happens to be the immediate boss of the person I want to ask?What the hell kind of plot is this?

During the conversation, the door was pulled open by a person.

Looking in through the window of the balcony, the inside of the house is full of joy. Although the children are quite difficult to deal with at first, once the Spring Festival Gala starts, the funny but well-prepared sketch cross talk, Still keep the kids together.

The eldest lady pouted her lips in disdain at first, not wanting to mix with this group of immature children, but after watching two performances, her eyes couldn't leave the screen, and her mouth was so big that it could fit a fist.

"It's all settled?" Lao Xia also felt that the communication between the two sides was almost the same, and he didn't want to disturb the peaceful atmosphere inside. Brother showdown.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xia, we're almost done talking." Without the bondage of his family, his uncle Xia Xiaotao finally didn't have to hide anything anymore. It revealed his flattery and fear of the man in front of him.

"What's Mr. Xia not Mr. Xia?" Father Xia shook his head helplessly, but sighed, "They're all relatives of our own family, and they're not talking about work. There's no need to follow the rules."

This is a bit pretentious, but it has to be said, after all, others may not know that Xia Xiaolang, the very honest second child of his family, may be thinking so purely and purely.

"I know, I know, isn't this fear." The third child quickly echoed.

There is no taboo at this moment, since everything is spread out, then naturally there is no need to consider the issue of shame, not to mention the current situation, there is one thing that is more imminent and serious than face. "The thing about the fake accounts is really not counted, it's all rumored outside. In fact, our account book last month was only half a million. It was indeed our disqualification to report 30. I said, second brother, you adults don't count small things. Forgive me, please forgive me.”

Lao Xia sighed, not knowing what to say about this matter.

On the other hand, the boss Xia Dahai stared blankly at all this, and suddenly opened his mouth and said rashly, "Well, second child, you are quite a senior official now, right?"

I didn't say the next sentence, that's why the third brother is so polite to you. You must know that the reputation of the third wave restaurant is even famous in Beilin, which is three or four hundred kilometers away.

"It's okay, the deputy manager of the branch is not a good position, but just happened to take over this department." The old man smiled humbly, without any intention of showing off in his eyes.

"Oh." The boss nodded cautiously. He has been in business anyway, and he only knows the deputy manager of a branch in a small place. The energy in his hands is really not that great.

However, only the youngest, Xia Xiaotao, knows that their Blue Sky Company does not have any non-existent branches at all. It is estimated that his second brother's saying this is just a little confidence with the boss.

Then he looked around with lingering fear.

The last time I talked with Boss Li, the situation of my second brother was also mentioned by chance, remember that was half a year ago, right?Xia Xiaolang is only a small branch manager, he didn't expect to be promoted so quickly in half a year?

I heard that the general manager is about to reach the age of retirement, so the one who is most likely to take over the important task in the whole company is this young and vigorous Xia Xiaolang, right?

How amazing is it to be the general manager of Blue Sky Company at the age of 47?

This is not the kind of small company with leather bags that can be seen everywhere by the roadside. What is the concept of Blue Sky Company?Even West Street is interested in cooperating. It can be said that in the entire Yecheng, there are only two or three companies that can make Boss Li look at him seriously.

……

After this meal, something just didn't feel right.

By the time a few people came back from the balcony, the room was almost about to end.

Originally, my mother planned to play Doudizhu with the two concubines, but the faces of the men in my family became a little ugly. I don't know why, and the atmosphere became a little stiff. The last game, of course, couldn't be fulfilled. .

It's just that the aunt with high cheekbones looked at her man strangely when she was leaving, "What's wrong with you?"

The uncle shook his head, his voice was a little dry, he didn't know how to start this topic, so he patted his mother-in-law on the shoulder, "Do you still have those bottles of Moutai at home? Get them together some other day and give them to Xiaolang."

"Why?" Auntie didn't seem to realize it yet, she opened her mouth and planned to say something harsh, but Uncle glared back, "Don't say so many useless things, just prepare if you are told!"

This was also the first time seeing her own man being so fierce to her, the aunt hesitated for a moment, and suddenly felt aggrieved.

The uncle watched from the sidelines, smiled and said nothing, but instead held Dad Xia's hand, "Well, second brother, I originally planned to ask you to discuss things today, but you have also seen the situation now, so I just We can talk about it later."

Lao Xia waved his hand with a smile and said he knew.

The uncle scratched his head, but still couldn't help exhorting: "Second brother, let me tell you the truth, the book is really fake. If you don't believe me, you can come to our store to read the book. If it's a big deal, can't we make up the difference? You mustn't Make a small report to Boss Li, if this store can’t continue, our family will have to go to the street to beg for food.”

Father Xia pondered at the side without saying a word, only Li Xia could understand it.

At the beginning, my father didn't intend to punish him. After all, this kind of situation is very different from tax evasion. It is not considered corruption and bribery. When you are in this position, you will do the same thing, so instead of letting other family members do it, it is better to go to the mall with your own relatives, which will be more convenient to mention.

It's just that this matter has indeed sounded the alarm for the uncle's family. I believe that even if there is a suspicion of falsely reporting the figures next time, it is impossible to do as much as today.

Seeing the fall and not speaking, the uncle sighed, feeling that the whole New Year would be difficult, "Well, I'll come to see you next time, and I'll explain things clearly when the time comes."

"Yes, yes, we are going too." The big brother Xia Dahai next to him didn't know what to think of, and hurriedly followed up. Not only that, but also pushed Xia Xiaolan who had been at odds with the eldest lady, "Why are you so ignorant, kid?" Politeness? Go and call your cousin, say goodbye to your cousin, and come to play next time."

But in my heart, I was thinking about when I would come to visit again. After all, people are in such a state. If there is something to ask the other party, but the other party does not know that I have such a relative for so many years , that would be too embarrassing.

"Relatives, relatives, don't usually move around, and then they won't even recognize each other. Just like today, Li Xia doesn't know Xiaolan. How bad would it be in the future?" My mother also has feelings for my uncle's family. Resentment, at this time, is naturally vented, there is no clear meaning in the words, but the uncle who still speaks blushes and turns pale.

"Yes, yes, my brother and sister are right."

In the end, he could only lick his face in response.

----

The days to come passed quickly and quickly, and it happened that there was no need to go to school or make up lessons, so the eldest lady lay on the bed and counted sheep to play.

It's rare for my mother to relax these days, and she doesn't tell the young lady to study hard anymore. She simply follows her wishes. Anyway, the winter vacation is only a few days away. You can play as you like, and you can't leave any regrets.

As for the old man, he doesn't have so much free time. During the Spring Festival, there are still a lot of ghosts and monsters to deal with. He doesn't stay in the village and doesn't leave the shop. He seems to be elusive.

That day, he happened to be resting on the bed when the phone in the entrance rang for no reason.

My mother wiped the oil stains on her hands with a rag, and answered the phone, but within a few seconds, she asked, "Daughter, do you have your number?"

"Who is it?" The eldest lady was slightly taken aback.

I thought it was impossible?Who will call me during the Chinese New Year? Lao Wang and Lao Zhou have communicated before. As for Zhu Liwen and Yu Yatou, they often come to the house to play with the eldest lady these days. Does it have to be so grand?

I heard the old mother rubbing her hands in the hallway, and she also looked a bit unbelievable: "I don't know, it's a female voice, saying that she is the editor of Venus Star, and I want to find someone whose pen name is 'Three-point Andy Lau, seven-point Wu Yanzu' I think you are probably the only thick-skinned person in our family, so it should be you, right?"

"Huh?" Just as the words finished, the eldest lady was stunned.

Chapter 42 41, Pay the Public Grain!

"Here we come." The eldest lady yawned, and rolled herself from the bed to the entrance, the corners of her clothes were covered with a lot of dust that hadn't been cleaned.

Naturally, it is impossible to neglect the instructions of my lord mother, and besides, Lafayette seems to think that the other party is a girl at the moment, and there is no threat, so he goes with his daughter.

He put down the phone and went to the side to continue tidying up the messy kitchen.

My mother seems to be very wary of boys who get close to the eldest lady. It seems that in my impression, except for old Zhou Laowang, other boys who want to meet the eldest lady are blocked by the door Bar?

Although there were not many boys who could play with the eldest lady at that time.

But speaking of it, old Zhou Laowang is also a boy, why is the mother so unguarded?I don't know what my mother is thinking.

"Who is it?" Shaking off the messy thoughts in his head, Li Xia picked up the phone and answered lazily.

"Brother Zhang, it's a female voice, is there a mistake?" However, the other end of the phone was suddenly stunned. Hearing the immature voice of a girl who hadn't yet entered high school, the other end of the phone hesitated and turned around. His head seemed to be talking to the man sitting next to him, and he didn't answer right away for a while.

"Oh, three-point Andy Lau is my father's pen name, I am his seed, my father is not here." The eldest lady didn't care much, she opened her mouth to answer.

Originally, my father had mentioned to me about changing my pen name, but I didn't expect that after nearly a thousand feng shui turns, the only thing that remains the same is that the thick skin is still the same.

At the beginning, Lao Xia's pen name was "exactly like Chow Yun-fat". The eldest lady complained a lot about it at the time, but half a year later, this "three points of Andy Lau and seven points of Wu Yanzu", in terms of shamelessness, it is not bad. It really feels like blue out of blue.

"So that's how it is." There was a pause, and the aftertaste came back immediately.

"Then, what's the matter?" The eldest lady replied boredly, and woke her up from the bed early in the morning, and finally woke up with a little fart.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just about your father's book called... Cough, "My Beautiful Teacher", I wonder if he still remembers it?" The other party seemed to think that such a young child could never be so pornographic subconsciously regarded it as Father Xia's work, and even coughed dryly when he said the title, which brought a lot of embarrassment.

After all, the little voice on the other end of the phone was sweet, clear and ethereal, like a little angel who fell from the sky.What if he knew that his father's book was so... well, filthy?Difficult to see?What kind of reaction will there be?

It can be said that this is the case, and Venus also knows that in such a market where all kindness and enmity are festooned, only this wonderful work that has opened up a new branch is more likely to stand out from the encirclement.

This is also the most important reason why the editor of their Venus came to the door today.

"Ah, forget it, since your father isn't here, let's do it next time." The other party was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was just a child, there was really no need to talk, so he planned to hang up after a casual confession.

But I didn't expect that Li Xia on the other end of the phone suddenly said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, my father told me about this on purpose, just to write a book, what's the matter, just tell me directly."

This is a high-sounding reason.

At the same time, the eldest lady slandered in her heart, "Beauty Teacher"?It seems that I have a vague impression, but that is the manuscript that was handed over to juvenile literature before, and it has nothing to do with you Venus, right?

"Is this possible..." Sure enough, the other party hesitated for a moment.

But in the end, after some speculation, I don't know that the next time I contact this unreliable seven-point Mr. Wu Yanzu, it will be the year of the monkey, so I can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"It's easy to say, it's your father's book, "Beautiful Teacher" has already passed the signing application. May I ask your father, is there any intention to sign a contract recently?"

As soon as this was mentioned, the eldest lady let out an oh, and then suddenly recalled such a rhythm.

A few days ago, the first year of literature did not include her own "Beauty Teacher", and in a moment of impulsiveness, the eldest lady simply published the original text of more than 3 words on Venus.

I didn't intend to cause any trouble at first, I just clicked randomly, but I didn't expect that the backstage actually approved the contract.

"Your father really is, too. It's been more than a week, right? What about signing the contract and contacting the editor at the time? Why haven't I seen a shadow for most of the day?" It is inevitable that Li Xia is a little cautious.
