Chapter 102 Fanning the flames

I paid homage to my parents on the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the second day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first

Since Xia Qing's grandmother passed away, Lu Qiuju has never returned to her parents' home on the second day of the lunar month. In previous years, on the second day of the lunar month, all relatives would go to Lu Chunzhao's house, and this year is no exception.

Xiuqing and Jincheng were going to play with the spirit cat Zhuniao at home, so Xia Chongping decided to take Xia Qing to wish Lu Chunzhao a New Year.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Huo Jiuting had something to go out, so he took Xia Chongping and Xia Qing to the town by car, and he went to the city by the way.

"Senior brother, are you back tonight?"

"I'll pick you up again when I'm back. I'll wait here at half past five." Huo Jiuting shook the window halfway, raised his wrist and looked at the watch, and made an appointment with Xia Qing for a time.

"Okay!" Xia Qing pursed her lips, smiling with her eyebrows and eyes curled.

Otherwise, she and her father would have to wait for the bus here. They would have to wait for half an hour if they were lucky. If they were not lucky, the bus was full, so they would have to wait for the next trip. Sometimes they would have to squeeze in if they couldn't get up.

I won’t talk about overloading or something.

In this era, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy a car. However, Xia Qing still had to find a way to add a car to her family. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Although it has never been said, Xia Qing still felt that she was still not suitable for the conditions of her family in this era.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are inconvenient.

So, she still needs to work hard and earn more money. Fortunately, the more she goes, the more money can solve many problems.

Today, Lu Chunzhao's family is full of guests. In addition to relatives, his location determines that many guests will inevitably come today to greet him in the early lunar month to show his sincerity.

Like in previous years, Wang Qingjun was the protagonist of today's New Year's greeting banquet. There were usually two tables of guests, one table above was a male guest and the other table below was a female guest. The host of the male guest was Wang Qingjun every year. Just imagine, no matter whether it is relatives or officials, they have to follow his command. He moved the chopsticks when he asked him to move the chopsticks, and he said he could drink when he drank. How powerful is it?

The most important point is that the host has always been the ones the host attaches importance to, which is equivalent to telling the guests that Wang Qingjun is a key relative of Lu Chunzhao. On weekdays, whether it is official or private matters, in this circle, those who can take care of him must take care of him more.

As for Xia Chongping, who doesn’t know that anyone who is familiar with Lu Chunzhao over the years is that Lu Chunzhao’s brother-in-law is just a mud-legged person, and the mud cannot support the wall?

Xia Chongping and Xia Qing came a little early, so they went to the pharmacy first. There were not many Chinese herbal medicines that Xia Qing could see in small pharmacies. There were three in total, a little far away. In order to travel around, the father and daughter walked around Zaokou Town and picked more than ten samples with good looks, with a total value of more than 1,000 yuan. The two of them paid a deposit of five yuan and asked the seller to send them to the Shengxia Fish House tomorrow.

"Will they swallow our deposit?"

After all, it's five yuan. Nowadays, there is no saying that the goods are delivered to you, so Xia Chongping is very worried.

"No, unless they don't want to make the remaining money. Besides, Dad, can't we even afford to lose five yuan now?" Xia Qing said with a smile.

Xia Chongping was relieved and touched Xia Qing's head, "Qing'er is right. Don't say that it's five yuan, we can afford to lose five hundred yuan!"

Seeing that confidence returned to his father's face, Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Confidence is really too important for a person. She believed that her father had a reckless and aspiration to fight against the sky and the earth, but his poverty day after day and inability to turn over year after year, gradually eroded his ambition.

She still remembered that life. I don’t know when it started. During the Chinese New Year, the horizontal banner on the door of her parents’ room became “content and happiness”. At that time, she quite recognized these four words, but now, it is true that contentment and happiness are always happy, but behind it is helplessness and compromise that cannot be realized in ambitions.

It was half past eleven, and Wang Qingjun glanced at the watch on his arm. Although it was a domestic brand, how many people could afford it these days?

He stood on the steps under the eaves of the corridor, looked at the New Year's greetings sitting in the door basking in the sun, eating melon seeds, playing cards or chatting, and smiled, "Let's go to the table, it's time to have the food!"

Li Yihuan and Xu Dajun came today. Li Yihuan had been here yesterday, but he didn't stay for dinner yesterday. He should have gone back to his parents' home with Tian Chunmei, but he had to come with Xu Dajun.

"Section Chief Li, President Xu, why have you reached this point? The person you mentioned hasn't come yet?"

The person who spoke was Cen Ke. He came from the provincial capital. His mother had been paralyzed in bed for eight or nine years. The old saying goes, there was no filial son in front of the bed for a long time. There was such a patient at home. He is now 40 years old and has opened three chain hotels. He is very famous in the provincial capital and has a lot of assets under his name. Even so, his wife still wants to divorce him.

There is no other reason, who is willing to serve such an old lady? The family is not not employed by a nursing staff, but the more money I spent, my wife felt sorry for her. If she spent less money, no one would be willing to come.

Sometimes, it’s not just for money, but for such a thing that makes people feel upset.

A few years ago, Cen Ke was so troubled by his wife that he had no choice but to find Feng Mingsheng, and was preparing to treat him as a living horse to see if there was a way to make his mother better. Speaking of which, his mother is still young, less than 60 years old.

Feng Mingsheng and him are college classmates and know a lot about his family over the years. The couple was just quarreling and didn't even care about their children.

If you drag on it, Cen Ke will be like this in his life. No matter how much money he earns, it will be meaningless.

"If someone can cure your mother, I will introduce you to someone, don't say I said it." Feng Mingsheng introduced the old Taoist priest to him and told him, "The old Taoist priest may not be willing to take action. You can find his apprentice Xia Qing first. If this little girl agrees, it will be almost done."

Cen Ke came on the first day of the day and first went to find Xu Dajun. Xu Dajun helped him contact Li Yihuan. When the three of them were drinking together, they chatted. Cen Ke actually knew Lu Chunzhao, so he made an appointment to try his luck at Lu Chunzhao's house today.

Since Cen Ke and Lu Chunzhao are acquaintances, they came to Zaokou Town, but it is definitely inappropriate to come and say hello.

"Qingjun, do you have to wait? I think there is no one." Li Yihuan walked over and handed Wang Qingjun a cigarette.

"Who didn't come?"
