Chapter 144: Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself
Huang Daozhou saw the look on Huang Daohan's face and knew that the matter of borrowing money must be almost done. He deliberately took Huang Daohan's hand and said:
"Fourth brother, how does the new house I bought look like?"
After saying that, he took Huang Daohan to look at three rooms, and even turned on the light so that the fourth child could clearly see the "three-drop carved bed", the chest of drawers, and the tall cupboard.
Huang Daohan is a good person. He didn't expect that Huang Daozhou's family would get such good furniture. He looked at each piece carefully and looked envious.
"Okay! Great! These furniture may be made of mahogany. Third brother, you have to be careful and don't bump into them!"
Huang Daozhou said proudly: "Daohan! You haven't told me whether my house is good or not!"
Huang Daohan cursed in his heart, who is he! I have to say nice things to my face. Is it fun to be so proud?
Why are you still the same as when you were a teenager? How come you don’t know how to remember after all these years?
Huang Daozhou did well when he was young, but Huang Daohan firmly believed that it was because Huang Daozhou was so proud that he attracted the jealousy of villains and was reported. The company did not dare to be careless, and settling old scores caused Huang Daozhou to lose a good job with a high salary.
Later he was found out and criticized because he had offended others in the past and was retaliated against.
Seeing that the third brother was looking so proud again and a little bit dumbfounded, he had no choice but to say:
"Okay, it must be good. This house is in a good location, has a big area, and has a yard! Eight hundred yuan is really a good deal. If I lived in the county town, I would definitely be willing to buy it!"
Huang Daozhou pointed in the direction of the kitchen and said: "Haha, I asked you to borrow money to demolish the kitchen in the yard and build six buildings three above and three below!"
Huang Daohan was sweating again. At this moment, he only felt pity. If he knew that one thousand yuan could buy this house and the furniture, he would definitely dare to buy it.
Hearing the third brother talk about building six houses again, he said sincerely, having already done the on-site inspection: "You have such a big heart. If you come here, you will have nine houses!"
Huang Daozhou said sternly: "Fangfen's business license is for a restaurant. It's not decent if it doesn't have seven or eight tables!"
"That's right! I came here today to think about something big that your family is going to do. As a brother, I have to help no matter what. I have raised five hundred yuan and brought it to you."
"Great, we are brothers! Hahaha, I have written the IOU clearly, and I will give it to you now!"
Huang Daohan stopped being pretentious. After Huang Daozhou took the IOU and read it carefully, he smiled because he found that Zhang Fangfen didn't ask him to open his mouth, so he signed the IOU first and pressed the red fingerprint.
Then Zodiac Zhou happily signed, took the money according to his fingerprints, and counted it in person.
It was already noon, and Huang Daozhou asked the fourth child to go to Sanshui Restaurant for dinner, but the fourth child firmly refused.
He not only saves himself, but also considers others and does not want the third brother to spend his unjust money.
The newly bought house has not been opened yet. Huang Daozhou and Zhang Fangfen came to install the tap water today, so they had no conditions to keep the fourth child for dinner.
Huang Daozhou thought about it and made a calculation, and said: "It's very close to the guest house. It won't cost much for us to eat in the guest house canteen!"
"When will anyone be able to eat in the guest house canteen?"
"It's impossible for everyone to eat. I have acquaintances there! Don't worry! One or two yuan will definitely be enough for the two of us."
"Okay! Let's go to the guest house cafeteria to eat!"
Of course Zhang Fangfen will not go to the guest house canteen to eat. There is Zhang Huifen and three children waiting at home!
Huang Daozhou has been doing business in the guesthouse for nearly two months. He will definitely bring cigarettes to say hello. The relevant staff will also stuff a pack of "Shanghai City Front Door" every now and then. There are really many acquaintances.
He spent one yuan and thirty cents to buy three meat, three vegetables and eight taels of white rice. He was not given a special vegetable or meal ticket for the guest house canteen, but was given money directly. It didn't matter, the insiders could definitely make up for it.
The fourth brother saw the high-spirited look of the third brother. He felt more at ease and was glad that he had made a wise decision.
If he had rejected the third brother yesterday, the gap between the two brothers who were already separated would have deepened, and I am afraid they would never get along with each other again.
How good it is now, I don’t suffer any loss, the third brother is very happy, everyone is happy!
Huang Daozhou took out two small glass wine bottles from his pocket. These were two bottles of Yanghe Daqu. There were eight bottles of this wine in Huang Daozhou, which was given to him by Manager Liu.
The family was preparing to open a restaurant and entertain guests in the new house, so Huang Daozhou brought all the wine he had saved these days.
When I invited the fourth child to come to the guest house for dinner, he took two bottles and stuffed them in his pocket.
"This wine is very good. Today we two brothers each have a bottle."
"Well! This small bottle of Yanghe Daqu is hard to buy. I drank it once and it tasted really good! I can't drink one bottle, so why don't we two drink one!"
"There's no wine glass! You can only drink from the bottle. It doesn't matter if you can't drink one bottle, just put it in your pocket and take it home to drink again in the evening!"
The two brothers drank and chatted, and the more they chatted, the more harmonious they became. Unknowingly, they drank up two bottles of wine.
After eating, they walked to the bus station hand in hand. They were both a little drunk, but neither of them was drunk. They both liked the small wine bottle and remembered to put it in their pockets.
If Huang Han saw the two brothers saying goodbye at the bus station as their relationship grew stronger, he would definitely regret asking Huang Daozhou to borrow 500 yuan. Why not just borrow 1,000 yuan?
Anyway, the interest offered is far more than that of bank deposits, so it will definitely not put Fourth Uncle’s borrowing at risk. It’s definitely good for you, good for me, and good for everyone, why not?
Huang Daozhou's mentality was good during this period, and he really managed not to be happy with things or sad with himself.
The day before yesterday, Liu Xiaoming's father informed him that he would be delivering 100 kilograms of crayfish every other day for a period of time, which immediately cut his profit by half, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
That was when another person came to sell crayfish. The director of the guest house couldn't bear it because this person called the leader who was currently in charge of them.
Father Liu has a good craftsmanship, has more than a dozen apprentices, and has great prestige in the hospitality industry. He knows that he will never be a high official without education, but he is not afraid of offending anyone.
Those who want to do the crayfish business rely on the fact that there are people above, who are a bit pushy, and Father Liu, who doesn't like him, is not a vegetarian either.
He argued hard in front of the director, emphasizing that crayfish could not be bought at all at first. It was he who asked Huang Daozhou to help him go to the countryside to find some, which enabled the guest house to launch the signature dish of thirteen-flavored crayfish.
How can you now take the Zodiac Zhou back for no reason at all?
Finally, the director, branch secretary and Xini made a compromise. Huang Daozhou and that person alternated the delivery one day at a time, tentatively scheduled for one month.
During this period, the two people compare service and quality. If the gap is too big, the guest house will refuse to continue delivering goods to the person who does not do well.
