Wei Xuan said: “I just let go. I’m afraid that Xiao Yue won’t be troublesome anymore. She hasn’t secured a job, and now her unit is just recruiting. What if she fails in the middle of her career? Single women are difficult. I and Lao E won’t have much left for her, considering the speed of rising prices, that money might not be enough to support her. When I think about this, I feel worried. You say this to me, so I can let go. Then I also sighed.”
Lao Jia repeatedly said: “I will quickly get the property certificate for you, absolutely true. You can check the Beijing Housing Bureau website, absolutely true!”
Wei Xuan continued to draw cigarettes: “I think about my child, I really think about my child… Now we’re left with just me…”
“Actually, I’m counting on Lao E. If I die, there’s no mother for my child.” Ma Xia casually took the wet tissue from Wei Xuan’s hand and threw it into the trash can.
“Don’t say such words! Quickly calm down! Quickly calm down!”
Lao Jia looked at the trash can and spat. Wei Xuan said: “You and Lao Bei, I treat you all like children. Xiao Yue is my own daughter. Every child I care about.”
Wei Xuan was sincere, but she didn’t notice that Ma Xia’s right hand was missing a small finger, even when Lao Jia handed her a paper towel. This was fate. If it were Lao E’s hand, without stretching out, Wei Xuan would also have an incomplete direct line. Ma Xia tried hard to recall her birth mother’s face, but he completely couldn’t remember.
She was a strong woman, with a loud voice, always fighting with her parents.
This memory made him restless. He was willing to recall the first time Lao E came to the milk factory to find him, Lao E giving him a bonus, and then he entered the university through recommendation. After that, every day was so perfect, and from then on, he was finally surrounded.
Since it was said that the property certificate would be given to Wei Xuan, it was decided. Giving Wei Xuan was always more reliable than keeping it in the bank.
Lao Jia stood at the open insurance door.
In the small room, there were still two property certificates that might still exist here.
The insurance cabinet’s bookshelf was neatly arranged, empty except for the books. Behind each small, tightly closed door was the owner’s carefully hidden treasure.
What would that be? Ma Xia roughly guessed it was something like bank deposit slips or financial bills. He carefully put the small porcelain bottle with the finger inside, pushing it to the innermost, worried that someone might open the door and use too much force, shaking the small bottle, spilling the pale yellow liquid?
The entire wall was insurance cabinets, somewhat like the ash wall of Beijing’s Public Security Bureau. Each cabinet occupied a small grid. The small insurance cabinet was also filled with many precious stones. The insurance cabinet only provided storage function, with no responsibility for the stored items. If there was a fire here, all stored items would lose one point, and most of the cabinet owners would lose their souls painfully.
Lao Jia put the property certificate in the travel bag’s outer layer. Xiao Xiao and Ma Xia took the flight to the airport. They recently learned to fry meat, bought various reference books and CDs, and even opened a certification company. The mobile phone also downloaded customer software, occasionally pulling it out to press a few times. This matter didn’t hinder their market expansion. They told Ma Xia that these two weeks earned several hundred, though seemingly finding no particular feeling.
Su Xiaoruo woke up early and hadn’t eaten breakfast. This summer, she brought her to the T3 airport terminal to find a place to eat something. Su Xiaoruo was reluctant, but she was willing to go out to eat noodles. She was determined to save money and not eat at the airport terminal for the sake of saving money. The market sells everything, and the little girl understood this clearly. Su Xiaoruo liked rice noodles, but Beijing’s rice noodles didn’t seem to have many options, and the noodles and rice noodles were quite similar.
Su Xiaoruo was particularly sensitive to money, which was like a dream from her childhood. At the moment, she had no ability to earn money, so Su Xiaoruo very consciously took saving money as her principle. She could do her best to spend as little as possible, which was the limit of her ability. This child was quite sensible.
Her mother really wanted to see her daughter’s persistent pursuit of certain things, just like those who bow and scrape on the ground to satisfy the demands of adults. But Su Xiaoruo was not like that, especially her mother, who did not spoil her. Su Xiaoruo described herself: not picky, just wanting to eat something delicious.
Regarding Zhou Maochen’s loan application, Ruan Bei was very cautious. Just based on the approval, all the bad loans at the time of initial application had been handled by Zhou Quan without any leeway. However, with more items on the credit line and more detailed materials, Ruan Bei could also make a direct judgment on whether this loan was viable or not. Old Zhou had been in the sand field for a long time, and compared to ordinary customers, he found the North Office to be stricter. Zhou Mao was very cooperative in providing various original proofs. He seemed to be in the protection fleet this summer.
Just a few days after returning to Ming, her mother was dragged by Zhou Maochen to the bank again. Ruan Bei wanted Zhou Maochen to wait a while longer, as he needed to do an investigation. So Old Zhou first told him about the evening package, and that restaurant had extremely fresh seafood. Old Zhou introduced it as if telling a family secret: all from the sea or international air transport. There were the most timely “Eastern Star” in Hong Kong and Guangdong, each public market at 1376 yuan, a fish costing over 2000, Su’s fish at 1596 yuan per catty, a Su sturgeon weighing at least 3 catties, not even trying the 5000 yuan sturgeon. Old Zhou wanted to go and challenge, but he was ridiculed when he went in the evening.
Her mother’s office asked Ruan Bei about the North Office: “Don’t give him anything, this old man, I just don’t want him to take it to heart.”
“If it really meets the loan conditions, you still have to give it.”
“Then you drag it out a bit.”
“Yes, drag it out a bit.” Ruan Bei smiled and nodded, “How are the Beijing officials? Are they all good? The new municipal bureau director is currently handling the handover, and I hear this new bureau chief is a bit of a character.”
“The new official who takes office will fan the flames, at most catching a few hundred crabs, and won’t cause any trouble.”
“We’ve just come as a female worker, quite good-looking. I’ll help you introduce one? I’m her mentor, and I think she’ll give face. Besides, your conditions aren’t bad.”
“How good-looking? How does she compare to Song Ruoruo?”
“She’s not the same type. She’s quite elegant and quiet, suitable to be an old lady. It’s not that Song Ruoruo isn’t suitable to be an old lady. Little Song hasn’t been an old lady, and I think this female worker looks more like an old lady.”
“Are you matchmaking?”
“She went to the municipal bureau for an interview. Otherwise, I’ll call her in for you to see.”
Ruan Bei’s car stopped underground, and he said to calculate sitting in your car. The summer car was on the road, but he couldn’t find the car key. Would the North Office be left in the office? Summer said no. He fumbled in his bag for a while, the key fell into the bag, and Ruan Bei laughed and said, “No one will make up for it? Really should find an old lady.
